maya rodriguez, can you hear me? all right. we're going to try to dial maya rodriguez back in. what i can tell you is that maya had a position, as anybody would, a reporter covering a rally like this. she and her cameraman were asked to leave that area because there were concerns for their safety. it's a very unruly crowd. we can also tell you that there have been some injuries. at least one person has been arrested and in terms of injuries, including a university of virginia police officer has been arrested. we don't know the severity of the injuries. there's been tear gas thrown and it's just, as you can see, tear gas there to the top right of your screen and things being pelted. baseball bats being used. i think we have maya rodriguez back on the phone with us. first off, you're in a safe location to even make this call, are you? >> reporter: yes, we are. we were able to pull back. things got a little hairy for us there about an hour ago. we did have some smoke bombs, tear gas being thrown towards the counter-protesters. we happened to be back behind them. some of those land

maya rodriguez of nbc news is back with us. m maya, i don't know if you heard what mark newton said from charlottesville and about the idea that his photographer may not even be able to show the pictures because of the gruesomeness of the nature of them. have you heard anything to that effect since we last spoke? >> reporter: okay. hey, jacob, we're being moved back from the scene where this happened. we're at 4th and waters streets here in charlottesville. this is where all of this happened. just a short time ago, there were at least a half dozen ambulances lined up here, picking people up, they were on the ground. some of them had to be loaded on to stretchers and into the ambulances. i did hear from one witness who said, listen, i saw my friend. he had a broken leg. i saw someone else who i was somewhat familiar with who -- okay, we're being moved again by police. they're trying to, it looks like, they're attempting to clear waters street right here. we're going to be careful in heading back this way. but what he said was he

maya rodriguez is stand big in houston. i believe we have maya. maya, are you there? if so, what do you see? >> reporter: hey, craig. yeah, we are near the addicks reservoir neighborhood called glen karin. as you can see, there is a ton of water here. people are coming out here with their private boats. we have the sheriff's office. we have national guard. everyone trying to get into this neighborhood, which is experiencing a severe amount of flooding. you can hear all the sirens in the background. people have been coming out here with their pets, with their belongings, any way that they can get out of here. a lot of the people have been coming here and basically walking out of the flood waters if they can after being dropped off. you can see over here in this parking lot, there's a makeshift area where people are being dropped off and boats are being launched. sorry. i'm a little out of breath because we had to run to kind of get over here. >> that's okay. that's okay. >> reporter: but the rain has been torrential. it's been raining here all morning long. so many of

gerhart: maya, keeping a close eye on that revolving door at the white house. thank you.stay on that side of the atlantic, the u.s. has let sanctions on the venezuelan president, calling him a dictator. the move comes after the election in which their government changed a mandate in the constitution. the opposition called a sham. reporter: venezuela's and data later said these elections would be a fresh start for his deeply divided country. but the morning after in the capital, the ransacked streets tell a different story. some feel that democracy has been snatched from them. >> the biggest robbery i have ever seen. i was in the voting center where they recorded a huge turnout. it was not like they say it was. we don't know what will happen in the future. we're still fighting to see what happens. look at the streets and more or less, people voted this way. reporter: bowling day was marred with violent clashes across the country. protesters on the streets. several were killed including a candidate in one of the bloodiest days since unrest began. in the end, the president c

>> good one, maya. actually brings us to a new segment on the show. this is the first time we're doing it. and we're really only probably ever going to do it with you. [ light laughter ] please welcome the basket of wigs. [ cheers and applause ] >> yes! yes! [ applause ] >> seth: so we had a friend, dear friend of ours, james anderson, a writer on "snl." he always had a basket of wigs in his office. >> god bless always. >> seth: and what would happen, you're just gonna grab a wig at random. you can grab glasses here if you want. >> thank you. >> seth: and you're just gonna let it just create a character. >> by the way, this is something that would have happened without an audience in james' office. >> seth: oh, yeah. >> all right, i'm gonna go through the basket of wigs. well, i guess i'll start at the top. here we go. that makes sense. >> seth: yeah. [ light laughter ] >> it also looks like one of those -- this looks like one of those things you get in a baseball game that's like the player's hair on t

maya, one last thing. i understand the university hospital there, well renowned, that they have dialed back on the amount of elective surgeries and procedures they're allowing today. i mean they're up for emergency room operations, but other than that, do you know if that has been changed since it seems to be dialing back right now, the tenor of things? >> reporter: it does seem to be dialing back, but again, there are a lot of streets down here that remain closed to either vehicular or pedestrian access, so those elective surgeries, the hospital had put those off. again, if you didn't have to be in this area, you really didn't want to and that was probably something that they were doing to sort of keep in mind the safety of their patients. >> okay. maya rodriguez, thank you very much. i know it's an ongoing situation. you've got a lot of work ahead of you, but we thank you for joining us and hope to see you again. appreciate that. we're going to take another short break here on msnbc. we'll be back with c

maya has mentioned this, i'll repeat it. we have a real problem, i'm talking about major political problem, a problem of governor nance, and that is the political leadership in this country, republicans and democrats alike are not willing to deal responsely with some of the most domestic problems facing this country but primarily the management of the fifth deficits debt spending, these issues. president trump promise during 26 campaign that he would not touch medicare. the president seem hell bent on keeping his promises. the promises indicated he was not going to touch medicare at all. the pair docs we have here today is we're discussing a report signed by three cabinet secretaries who say exactly the opposite, whose sentiments are exactly the opposite. page nine of the report reads, read it quickly, quote the financial projections in this report indicate a need for substantial steps to address medicare's remaining financial challenges. goes on to say, the trustees recommend the congress and the executive branch work close

maya rodriguez is in corpus christi. maya, good morning to you. as we have light coming your way, what's it look like? how serious is the situation right now? >> reporter: right now we're seeing very strong winds, lots of rain, pretty much what we've been seeing for hours here. take a look at this. we have towned trees. this is the scene all over town. look at this, we have a line that is down flashing that stop light here, that red light. we've had a lot of reports of fires. we had one on a barrier island just off the coast of car pus christie here. firefighters had to go respond to a house fire there. not clear how that house fire started. they had to head over there in the middle of the category 4 hurricane to try to prevent that fire from spreading to other houses. we also had another fire on the peninsula. firefighters had to head there to handle that fire. first responders having to deal with these incredible winds, the driving rain we've seen. take a listen to what of the fire chiefs in rockport had to say about the situation. >> we had mul

back to you. >> maya, thank you very much.see the president of united states of america, donald trump, stepping up to the podium in new jersey. the president. >> small press conference, but a very important one, and it was scheduled to talk about the great things that we're doing with the secretary on the veterans administration, and we will talk about that very much so in a little while, but i thought i should put out a comment as to what's going on in charlottesville. so, again, i want to thank everybody for being here, in particular i want to thank our incredible veterans, and thank you. let me shake your hand. >> great people. they're great people. but we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in charlottesville, virginia. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides. on many sides. it's been going on for a long time in our country. not donald trump, not barack obama. it's been going on for a long, long time. it has no place in america. what is

can you speak to that, maya?st as we were driving over here -- and we came up from victoria, texas, so we've been encountering this rain for ours. there are so many areas where the water is creeping up. you can see that in a matter of an hour the roadways will be covered with water. it's becoming increasingly inundated and that's the danger because this rain isn't letting up. >> maya rodriguez, that you can so much for that live report. we're glad that that man is helping out his neighbors. that's what others can do. much appreciated. >>> we are expecting a briefing from texas governor greg abbot with the latest information to save the people trapped in that state. we'll check in with reporters in that region so stay with us. >>> the white house is defending president trump's decision to pardon former arizona sheriff joe arpaio. >> i think there's a clemency argument that can be made for the long history of service, both in the united states military and in law enforcement for the sheriff. i think the president's

maya, i want the start with you. let's talk about our justice system. this was a victory for swift today, but what do we know about any shift in judges and juries in how they look at most victims or most people who bring claims of sexual assault in court? >> well, many people think that survivors of same-sex marriage or sexual assault lie or make false allegations, so it makes it very difficult for victims to come forward and talk about what happened to them. there's a lot of fear, fear for their safety and fear for consequences and retaliation in the workplace or at school. but the truth is that it's very difficult to come forward and report sexual harassment or assault, and there are huge risks for coming forward and doing so. whether people go to the police, whether they report to an employer or to a school, or whether they bring a lawsuit. >> judy, you work with young girls, how much of an issue is this to them, and how certain do they feel about taking a stand in situations like this? >> yes, we asked our girls what are the top issues that you're f

. >> what about the issue of safe water as maya was telling us about? >> that's definitely a concern. we want to encourage people to heed every warning coming from local authorities. there are so many communities across texas being impacted by the storm. the issues in each town are going to be slightly different. make sure that you're tuned in to what your community is instructing you to do about water safety and power safety because you've got to to take care of your family, and you don't want to put yourself at risk. >> we also know that many people are without power. how do you get word about dangers like the water out to people who may not be able to be watching on television or the radio? >> every community has different emergency warning systems. hopefully they have their telephones plugged into the local warning systems like what we have here in central texas. the communities will be notifying people through things that have worked over the ages, long before we had the technology of social media, where now everybody seems to be on twitter. we've

let's go to you reporter on the ground in corpus christi, maya rodriguez.s you may have seen, steve sosa now re-adjusting where the track will be. it looks like corpus chris my not necessarily right in the heart of that double whammy we have been talking about up to this last half hour. >> reporter: still a lot of issues going on here, richard. right now, we are hearing from the city of corpus christi saying there are a number of active power lines down across the city. they are asking people, if they do choose to venture outside to please be careful. we still have very strong winds, probably category 2 and category 1 wind gusts that we're feeling personally right here at the moment. of course, again, we are expecting some rains here, maybe not the torrential and flash flooding that we were expecting, maybe a few hours ago, but again, there are still some outlying dangers here. one of those we saw on south padre island. we had corpus christi firefighters over there earlier this morning battling a massive house fire, trying to make sure that that fire would

nbc's maya rodriguez in charlottesville. we'll check back later.anks a lot. >>> the suspect in the charlottesville attack, james alex fields jr. remains in police custody, expected to face four charges, including one count of second-degree murder. joining me now is kendall coffey, former prosecutor and former u.s. attorney kristen clarke, executive director for the lawyers committee of civil rights under law. kendall, i'd like to begin with you. is this a case straight up of domestic terrorism? >> well, it's certainly got a lot of indicators of that. right now they are only charging him with second-degree murder and some lesser offenses. that's a place holder. both the state and the federal authorities are examining closely what evidence they can develop in order to nail down the motivation, hate crime, we saw dylann roof successfully prosecuted, sentenced to death for hate crimes after he murdered nine in charleston church. is it domestic terrorism if he was intending to coerce or intimidate a civilian population, then that element will also fit.

all right, maya, we'll come back to you shortly. want to talk to kerry sanders, and you have been watching what's going on over there and you have been studying something very important here and that is about people's insurance claims over the next couple of days? >> reporter: let's give you a scene setter, first of all, i'm in querro, so you would think that this is a long way from houston and the disaster that's happening there, see this line here, this is texas state root 22 and it runs normally over the guadalupe river. and the guadalupe river itself is continuing to rise. and to give you an idea, the u.s. geological survey came in a short time ago and they marked this area right here. but if you look over here, you can see that was 90 minutes ago, so it's continuing to rise, we're right now at about 45 feet above flood stage and the concern is that it will continue to rise, and if you go down river, and of course it's kind of hard to believe that this area really is pasture land. but if you go further down river, you run into t

maya, where are you and what's going on around you? >> reporter: mike, we are on the west side of houston. as you can see, there is so much flooding here. these are some of the volunteers who have been helping people who have been coming in on boats basically from the neighborhoods. here are some people coming in on a boat right now. what they are doing, volunteers are getting on boats, heading down the side streets basically looking for people who need rescuing. we have first responders out here, we have the national guard. a look over here. these are some of the boats being launched. they go back and do basically search and rescue at this point. some of them are being loaded onto the national guard truck and being taken up to the dryer areas near here. from there, they are getting on school buss and some coach buses and being taken to shelters that are nearby. now, as you know, a lot of these shelters are beginning to reach capacity. you have heard the message loud and clear out here from people running the shelters. they will not tu

thank you, maya. meteorologist ben kenneth joins us, tracking the storm.here are people in the most danger here? >> corpus christi north wards today and then victoria to houston. we're about to see what happens when a hurricane stall also over a region for four, five, maybe even six days. you can see no surprises overnight. it slouwly increased in intensiy but no big jump. i can take category four off the board. still chance of getting to category three. but most likely category two as it makes landfall. 105 are the winds, so still a formidable storm. we're still going to have storm surge and wind damage. we will deal with the epic historic flooding after that. friday at 7:00105 mile per hour winds heading towards corpus christi. so that's what we'll be watching. that is kind of the telltale signs of this storm, is really when we're said and done will be historic flooding. >> thank you, bill. a lot to look at >>> now to president trump, who also is monitoring the hurricane. speaking with texas governor abbott, even putting out this video showing him tourin

that's where we find nbc's maya rodriguez. maya, good morning to you.know we are already seeing a lot of people there this morning. talk about the kind of care folks are going to get. >> reporter: well, alex, we're talking about all kinds of health care. health, dental, vision, all made possible because of remote access medical clinic. that is also known as ram. they travel around the country treating thousands upon thousands of people, every year, for all kinds of different conditions. so far today, we've had 300 people registered here in ida bell, oklahoma. but they're expecting to treat hundreds upon hundreds of people before the weekend is out. and among the people that are here to get treatment are ashley and disusty sornnger. thank you so much for joining us. tell us why your out here. >> we're here to seek dental assistance. can't afford health insurance, so that's why we're here. >> reporter: dusty, what made you decide to come out here and how'd you hear about this? >> we heard about it through the facebook program. it's pretty marketed. we've

and just one final update from you, maya. things at the hospital, you had mentioned in your last report that there are blocked off streets, so access to the hospital may be the most challenging today, other than the fact that they did cancel elective surgeries. >> reporter: they did cancel those elective surgeries, but as you can imagine what police were trying to maintain here, aside from just law and order, was that emergency responders would be able to get down some of these streets. now, some of these streets are blocked off, but they're blocked off by law enforcement at this point, not by masses of people who were out here. so if an emergency vehicle did need to get through, they'd have a much easier time now, but again, out of an abundance of caution, of course the hospital said, listen, if you have an elective surgery, we're going to cancel it because it's probably not a good idea to be out and about in this area today. alex. >> maya rodriguez, things have calmed down a bit allowing you to continue your reporting, than

that's where we find maya rodriguez. how are things on the ground this morning? >> reporter: overnight, things were very quiet. no major incidents reported. this is the intersection where 32-year-old heather heyer died after the car plowed into a crowd of people injuring 19 others. people have been leaving candles and flowers and tokens of remembrances. now, the driver of that car, 20-year-old james fields, is facing second degree murder charges. he is expected in court 10:00 a.m. this morning, via video conferencing. the first time we see him since that incident happened on saturday. now, he was in town for the unite the right rally taking place that day, that gathering of white nationalists. now, both the mayor of of virginia have placed the blame for the violence this weekend squarely on that rally, take a listen. >> i think it's clear a terrorist attacking with a car used as a weapon our hearts are grieving right now. >> my message is hatred has got to stop. we had many individuals come to our beautiful state. a vast majority were weapons tap. >> there was su

good morning, maya. >> reporter: good morning, phillip. well, it was quiet overnight in charlottesville and again this morning. we're at the intersection of fourth and water streets and this is where heather heyer was killed when that car plowed into a crowd injuring 19 other people. now, the driver of that car james fields is expected in court at 10:00 a.m. he'll be attending via video conferencing. he was here for the unite the right rally that was going on this weekend. 's something that the may -- it's something that the mayor of charlottesville and the governor of virginia have spoken out about. take a listen. >> i think it's clear a terrorism attack with a car used as a weapon our hearts are grieving. >> hatred and bigotry language has to stop. we had many individuals come to our state a vast majority with weapons. there's no place for it in our country. >> reporter: we have some good news. those 19 people who were injured the hospital that was treating them says nine have been discharged and ten of them are in good condition. so tha

, maya? >> reporter: well, phillip and frances, we have had a lot of rain and wind coming through. this is a taste of what hurricane harvey is expected to bring to corpus christi later today. it's not the only sign of a major storm approaching though. we have had people filling up their gas tanks, getting out of town. we have some of the courts that are closed here. garbage pickup has been suspended. right now we're under voluntary evacuations here in parts of corpus christi that are low lying. this is a very vulnerable spot, beyond that, we have a barrier island and beyond that island is the gulf of mexico. so again a very vulnerable spot for people who live in some of the low lying areas. take a listen to what the mayor had to say. >> we are going to in the strongest possible terms encourage the residents in the low lying areas as they say, get out of dodge. >> reporter: now, i'm not sure if you can hear m over that, but we have had lot of first responders just within the last ten seconds o

. >>> maya rodriguez is live in corpus christi with the latest. maya, as you and i spoke about last night and bill has said, corpus christi dodged a bullet but it's still pretty bad. >> reporter: why, just when you think things are letting up a little bit, ali, suddenly the skies open up, you start getting rain like this and the wind picks up all over again. this isment so of the damage we've been seeing around town. might have spared much of corpus christi but this is one of the things that we've been seeing. we have trees down, branches down, like this one. it is massive. we've also had things sort of projectiles that we found all over the place. look at this. imagine if you were hit in the head at 100 miles an hour with something like this. this is why you don't want to be outside during a hurricane. joining us right now is texas state representative todd hunter. first of all thank you for joining us out here under these conditions. >> certainly. >> reporter: it looks like corpus christi has been spared the brunt of this. what have you been see

maya, what more do we know about the commotion at the press conference just moments ago? >> reporter: right, so jason kesler, who's one of the organizers of the unite the right rally, decided to have a news conference just about 2:00 this afternoon at city hall just down the road from here. when he showed up, there was a large crowd there. he approached the podium, began saying a few words, but the crowd sort of surged forward at that point. some people going right up to the podium, they began yelling at him, saying go home, murderer, and then they started shoving him. at this point he started to sort of back away, run away from the podium, state police sort of came in to try to escort him out. someone actually managed to run up to him and tackle him into the bushes. police got involved at that point, kind of picked him up, started scurrying away down a street. we had photographers that were following him all the way down, they were attempting to get to his vehicle. it's not clear if they ever made it to his vehicle, but they were definitely trying to get him away from th

maya, thank you. there's also transitional housing. after you leave the shelter and before your house is ready, which in many cases here in and around houston is going to be months. if not longer in some cases. folks have to have transitional housing. governor abbott saying so far 2,000 rooms have been secured. they are obviously expecting to add to that. nbc's katie beck is in bay town, texas. bay town, texas, east of houston. katie, what are you seeing there? >> reporter: a lot of the same thing, craig. we're seeing a lot of local neighbors bring their boats here to this community. as you can see, completely flooded. but the good news is, the waters are receding, which means folks are now using those boats to try and get back to their homes, and try and retrieve some of those sentimental possessions that they really hope survived the amount of water that has flooded into baytown. this is right on cedar bayou. and as you can see, that water just rushed in all around these homes, really causing folks here a lot of panic. one of those p

i'm joined now by nbc's maya rodriguez just outside of houston. maya, we see all of that rain around you, obviously, with the forecast still calling for more. >> it is calling for more, and it has been raining like this literally for days now, steve. this is a neighborhood where people have been trapped in their homes, neighbors have been coming out to basically help them bringing their own personal boats to go and rescue people. joining us right now is susan. she has lived in this neighborhood for 40 years. have you ever seen anything like this? >> not ever. never. no. it's unbelievable. a nightmare. >> what is going through your mind as you see people ferrying others out of the neighborhood. >> that's what we are trying to decide. should we get out of here? just bunker down? we have a two-story. we could go upstairs but at this point we just don't know what to do. >> and that is a concern out here, steve. a lot of people have been asking themselves, should i evacuate, should i not evacuate, what is the water going to do again, next, because of a

[applaus [applause] >> thank you maya. there are many proposals in congress over the years, year for year to return to reduce social security benefits and increase incentives to save through 401(k)'s or ira's. how would that affect children? it seems like an efficient idea you could save individually, get better return on your investment, monitor your account billion balance, everyone likes to do that and maybe better off than if you contributed to social security. and lisa-- why don't you go first and then other panelists can go. >> certainly, the families that we work with, highlight families of grandparents that are raising children, this is not something that they planned on. these families were saving for retirement and suddenly those retirement savings are turning into college savings or spent down to pay for health care needs to put diapers and babies, formula, all of these things. these are not families that have the luxury of time to be investing dollars and for them, social security has been critical to provide f

we may not get a memorial designed by somebody like maya lin but we do have these appendices and you've spoken about your own experience and pain when you lost a loved one in your life and you look at these numbers and think about the magnitude of what this means, it isn't just the political leaders that are lost, it's the mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, grandparents, the people that knew how to make a go perfectly, the people that knew how to leave a beautiful basket with the designs of the community and yet after all of this, but lori of the most unimaginable harbor in this startling environment of navigating the programs you have a dark cloud of genocide and the resilience and survival certificate is 150,000, 109 federally recognized up and down the state and another 70 so these people are the defendants that folks figured out how to live in a world of that wanted to destroy them with federal soldiers looking for them, militiamen searching for them, bounty hunters paid. while it's a very dark story in many ways it is also a story of the triumph of the human will and instinct f

maya, where do we stand now, including on those injured? >> reporter: right now we know that 35 people were injured total. three deaths. one woman was run down during that incident where the car plowed into the crowd and then we have those two virginia state police officers who died when the helicopter crashed about seven miles southwest of here on a golf course. keep in mind, it's been hours since this scene began unfolding. we've had forensics. police have been combing through several vehicles that were also involved in all of this, who were swiped and hit during this incident. we know for a fact that a lot of people were taken to the hospital. i saw half a dozen people loaded onto stretchers and paramedics were working on people when we first came upon the scene. this is a city that's been in a state of tension for weeks starting back on july 8th when there was a kkk march here near the robert e. lee statue at emancipation park. they were protesting the fact that the city was going to remove the statue from the park. fast forward to frid

maya rodriguez, an nbc news reporter. what are you seeing? basically at the interception of marcus street and second. this is basically the heart of the rally area. we're right at the corner near emancipation park. like i mentioned today, previously renamed from robert e. lee park and we saw earlier a confrontation from the alt right folks out here protesting and the people who came in as counterprotesters and basically met in the middle of the intersection. there was a skirmish. people began punching each other. there was some rushing of people, up against the barriers. we did not see the police move in at this point. they sort of held back. there was some yelling and screaming and at some point, it seemed to simmer down a little bit. but those crowds are beginning to reconverge in that exact same intersection once again. it's a very tense situation out here. talking all morning about what happened last night. starting to see some of those in motion kind of come to the fore here and we do again have lots of state police around monitoring the

maya rodriguez is at a houston shelter, where thousands have gone. >> we're at the george r. convention center in downtown houston. it is the largest shelter set up in the city of houston. even at this late hour, people are still coming in and registeri registering here. this has a capacity of about 5,000 people. but they've breached that kpapt at this point. people are coming in, with their kids, with their pets. people trying to get a towel to dry off, because everyone who is coming in here is quite wet and cold. they're tired. some of them have been going for hours just trying to get to a place where they are safe and they can actually get here. want you guys to come with me over here as i talk to someone, who is in charge. david brady, with the american red cross joining us now. thank you for being here. tell us what it's like in here and what the situation is, with all these people that you have in here. >> well, what it's like, it's a situation where we've got a lot of people in this community that are out of their homes right now. and we've got a great community here t

>> it's the maya angelou thing. president trump has been telling us these things for a long time. revealing himself to be this person for a long time. so for me it was liking there it is in its full splendor and glory. my friends have known who this dude was and now he's showing it to us. and now the challenge is for those who have been supporting him to spoke up the way some republicans have spoken up. >> is he racist? >> is he racist? yes. yes. and i'm not saying that as somebody painting it with a brush -- the evidence shows that. the first time he appeared in the press in "the new york times" was because he was not renting his apartment to black people. then he takes out a full page ad about the death penalty for a crime. he never apologized. the birther controversy is one of the all-star hits of racism in this country. accusing president obama of not being a citizen of this country. all of that stuff is racism. it's all racism. i'm not as scared of the word racism as some people are. >> i'm not either. people always say you can't call somebody a racist. you can call someone a
