rachel: all right. lemonis: okay? rachel: yes.s with the lenders or go through a bankruptcy process. but i know for sure i don't want my money in the deal, 'cause i don't trust them. ♪ a few days later, i got a phone call from rachel, and i think as the dust settled, they had no choice but to go into bankruptcy. the landlord was trying to foreclose on the property. the lenders basically backed out of the deal that they had on the table. i hope that rachel recognizes that she probably needs to go back to square one and start over, 'cause i know she's capable, and i know she's smart enough, and she's got a great product. ♪ i head back to farrell's ice cream parlour in california. mike: welcome to farrell's ice cream parlour. are you celebrating anything today? lemonis: i put up almost $1 million to save this beloved brand from collapsing. now i need to save my investment. your license agreement here is terminated today. i can't do this anymore. the owners are once again mismanaging the funds. travis: we got notified from the landlor

and about 20 minutes later, says chris, rachel called. >> and rachel goes, "i think you left a $20 herethink you dropped some money. you should come back." and i said, "i'm not coming back. i didn't drop a $20. i left a $20 so you guys could get dinner." and she goes, "no, no. you should come back." >> reporter: chris did not return. a week later, as he was getting ready to attend dan and rachel's wedding, he heard about the murders of sam and julie, and realized they happened on the same day as his weird meeting with dan and rachel. chris immediately called police. >> we were shocked to learn it. and again, we went back and said, "hey, you know, rachel didn't tell us any of this the day before." >> reporter: so detectives interviewed rachel again, this time not as a witness, but as a suspect. >> why don't you tell me why you forgot to tell me about this? >> because honestly i was afraid that if you knew that chris had seen us that day, i don't know who chris knows, and i don't know if chris knows anybody bad. i'm kind of afraid. >> did you think we were not going to find out? >> they'l

according to the two witnesses who knew rachel, rachel's prior marriage was well-known. jemima testified that rachel had made a declaration to the judge on st. christopher, the contents of which that the two children that rachel had with had been raised outside of marriage with a person who was not her husband. although this declaration did not mention a husband living, the only reason such a declaration would have been necessary was if rachel was barred from marrying another man. relationships between two unwed individuals were common and not cause for legal action. rachel's relationship was only an issue because she was already married to someone else. therefore, remarriage to another man in a forbidden relationship with james hamilton became a matter of public record. likewise, james ash testified that rachel and other people testified that she was married and she went on st. christopher and saint -- and st. eustatius under that name, although she associated with a person of another name. ash added that rachel and the man's reputation was that she was a public, which

you think dan's protecting rachel, or is rachel protecting dan? >> dan would be protecting rachel.knows more than she's saying? >> oh, definitely. >> reporter: just what did rachel know? i asked her. >> this is my name. this is my life. this is my entire future. and i have nothing to hide, and i'm innocent. >>> coming up -- rachel the actress or rachel the accomplice. >> police and prosecutors don't believe you were honest with them. >> mm-hmm. >> were you honest with them?

introduction of rachel is time that could be better spent listening to rachel. so joining us now is rachel maddow, host of "the rachel maddow show" and author of "blowouts," the wicked great book we'll discuss after we catch up with rachel maddow's look at the week. where are we? let me give you the latest -- >> okay -- >> breaking. two congressional sources tell nbc news u.s. ambassadors to the european union, gordon sondland will appear tuesday for a joint deposition before the foreign affairs committee, the intelligence committee, the oversight committee. they have -- they reported earlier that they expected the ambassador friday. so gordon sondland who's right in the thick of this -- >> uh-huh. >> and if there is something that is judged to be a conspiracy about what the president's policy was with ukraine, gordon sondland is going to be one of the key levers of that. >> in addition to the inspector general who was there testifying today and who testified at the start of the impeachment inquiry, as well, isn't this the first current official that they've had

i'm joined by rachel maddow, host of "the rachel maddow show," right here on msnbc.new book is "blowout," about how the oil and natural gas businesses can corrupt governments around the world. and we can announce right here, right now, it is again number one on "the new york times" best seller list. that is new and for the second week in a row. >> thank you. that's brand-new news. that's awesome. it's weird. mostly awesome. it's weird. >> thank you for stopping by. you're doing a million things. >> sure. >> why is it important to understand oil and business as an agent of a foreign policy problem around the world? >> i got interested in this topic in part because i was trying to figure out like why was the motive force for why russia attacked us in 2016. and where i got pretty quickly, to make a long story short, is that they were desperate in ways that i didn't understand. desperate, driven by their economy, which both sucks. it's a really small economy for a really big country. and it's really, really, really dependent on oil and gas. and their own oil and gas sect

appreciate you getting to a camera. >> thank you, rachel.ood to be with you. >> thank you. >>> justice department has, according to "the new york times," and now confirmed by nbc news, has opened a criminal inquiry into the russia investigation, and what that means is that the law enforcement and intelligence professionals who opened that investigation, who carried out that investigation into what russia did, they, themselves, are now being targeted by the justice department for potential prosecution. the justice department has a history that is as varied as any part of the u.s. government. there have been attorneys general who have been sent to prison in this country for misusing the justice department to go after the enemies of the president. in this case, it being used on that investigation at this time, when the president is on the verge of being impeached feels like a very signal moment. leave it at that. leave it there way. leave it at that. that does it for us tonight. now it's time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." >> we'l

rachel maddow, congratulations. a great lineup. >> thanks very much. could have knocked me over with a feather. thank you. it's an honor and super intimidating. >> yeah, it's going to be a good one. >> thanks, my friend, appreciate it. thanks to you at home for joining me this hour. this is one of those days, this was another one of those days, right, not just a lot of news or just, you know, fast-moving news, but shocking and jarring developments one after the other. by the end of the day, like, just feel like too much, right? this is overstimulation. nobody should have to pay this much attention to the politics in their country. right? usually, in well-run countries, you don't have to think about what's running your country for days at a time, but we're now in -- we're having these series of days where stuff happens that is shocking, right, it's stuff that's happened that's never happened before that you'd never imagine would happen ever. i mean, among the things we're going to be talking about this hour is this decision by republican members of cong

blowout by rachel maddow is a way of looking at the world.e weight of really a college major. of years of study. it has range. it has authority. it is, the sub title could be how the world got this way. it really could be, how we got to this and i mean, all of this that we're living with today. >> that is very kind of you to say. you have, i mean, you reading the book is humbling to me and i am thankful for that. i am also very humbled by those words. i did not intend to write a book about oil and gas and i started out knowing nothing about oil and gas. i was trying to answer other questions about how we got to the world that we are in right now. and the big questions about why we're in this fight between authoritarianism and democracy. and why russia took that wild swing auts. and why they're such a strange malignant actor internationally given that within our lifetime they've been a world straddling super power with communist satellite states all over the world and they were our equal in terms of world influence. trying to get answers to th

>> yes, rachel.you have to understand, it's very important, that assistance that president trump was leveraging with the president of ukraine, when he said essentially do me a favor if you want this assistance, is literally a lifeline to ukraine. they depend on our economic and military assistance to be able to sustain themselves in the face of this russian onslaught. so the first thing is, he's taking taxpayer dollars and using it to pressure the president of a country that's literally been invaded to do his bidding and investigate his political opponents. the second thing that's really interesting here, rachel, is the officials that you mentioned, volker the envoy and our previous ambassador, they were part of that kind of bipartisan consensus. traditional foreign service officer and the ambassador, who the president of the united states agreed with the president of ukraine, said she was problematic. mike pompeo removed her early from her position when she was carrying out that bipartisan policy. v

i want to ask you, rachel, about the secretary of state here, where his credibility is on this? one, he was on the call, a lot of interviews where where he was claiming complete ignorance about this call prior. but he also has the president's personal lawyer taking shots is the right word but pointing some fingers as you said. >> at the state. >> he's with the state. he's worried about his long-term political aspiration, mike pompeo. how does he view this? does he stay in lockstep with the president here? in there especially if he wants to run for senate at some point. absolutely, he has to worry about that clearly, he's done a two step, sort of brushing off and acting like he didn't know anything, admitting this morning he was on that call. i think from somebody who covered him when he was in the house. i covered when he was on the sweat committee on benghazi, when the republicans were investigating hillary clinton and pompeo over and over again would demand documents, demand witnesses over countless times. so it's sort of interesting to see him on the other side just blocking

joining us to talk about this, rachel bale, renato. let me begin with politics, rachel. what was mick mulvaney doing? what was he doing? >> yeah, look, it's clear he was testing out a new strategy as you said in your opening there. this whole notion of admitting it and saying get over it. we do this in foreign policy all the time. i mean, clearly he was going out on a limb and very quickly was walked back by the president himself who was not happy with the strategy. the president has said there was no quidquo. this is the line he's taken even as we've seen this growing body of evidence that substantiates this whistle-blower claim that started this whole thing. we've had the whistle-blower complaint. the transcript that substantiated that complaint and an increasing number of diplomats have come out and said they had concerns about what we were seeing in terms of trump sidelining experts on ukraine, putting his allies in charge of ukraine policies to pressure them into investigating political allies. then you have mulvaney admitting it, but once you sort of squirt the too

>> all of that and my exclusive interview with rachel maddow on her new book "blowout" when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. the scandal that is threatening to swallow donald trump's presidency whole just keeps getting bigger. a ton of news today. first the president's personal lawyer rudy giuliani was issued a subpoena from house democrats demanding he turn over documents related to his attempt to pressure ukraine into investigating joe biden. democrats alerting giuliani to their demand in a letter to pointing to, quote, an investigation of credible allegations that you act as an agent of the president in a scheme to advance his political interests by abusing the power of the office of the president. also today "the wall street journal" reported secretary of state mike pompeo took part in that infamous july phone call in which president trump pressured the ukrainian president, which raises new questions about the state department's role in both the crime and the cover-up. a week ago pompeo was asked about that very call, and pretty much pre

rachel, what were your key takeaways?or years, we have been talking about the glass ceiling, the imaginary barrier -- the invisible barrier, not imaginary. in reality, women get tripped up at the first step up to manager. for every 100 men hired or promoted to manager, only 72 women are. that means at the manager level, two thirds of the managers are men and women effectively cannot catch up. taylor: how has this changed from previous years? as you look at this study, does 2019 bring anything new when it comes to the managerial position? lareina: we have the first step up to the manager cap for the first time but we are putting a huge spotlight on it, because this is where be lose the qualified supply of women leaders. often times, h.r. leaders are asking why are there not more women candidates? if you don't promote them at the very first step, you should not be surprised they are not on the radar. taylor: has there been big disparities in tech versus other broader sectors? rachel: different sectors look different but the

good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. in a senator, i would see more than the senator i would see the senator's staff. that's the way staffs look at it in washington. and some of the senators had better staffs than others to put it mildly. bill bradley was one of those senators who had a great staff. we were all in awe of bill bradley's staff. we frequently learned things from them the hard way, meaning they knew stuff we should have known. bill bradley was a member of the finance committee, and

opioid credit card correspondent rachel bludgeons joins us to take us through the deal and what it means for all the remaining cases. business mindset let's go. china is seeking $2400000000.00 in retaliation or sanctions against the u.s. for noncompliance with the ruling in an obama era tariff case. appeals judges said in july that the u.s. did not comply with the deputy a ruling and could face chinese sanctions if it did not remove certain tasks that break the watchdogs rules the u.s. subsequently failed to comply with the recommendations and ruling within the specified period and no agreement on compensation was reached the u.s. claim that it did not view the day as legitimate and that the judges had applied the wrong legal interpretation and that china was a serial offender according to reports so the us just decided to ignore the ruling decision of the day because it didn't like the outcome of the case so now china is requesting authorize ation from the d.s.p. to suspend concessions and related obligations at an annual amount of $2400000000.00 the u.s. could challenge the amount of s
