now a big question people ask, why do we call it trump university? was it a university? well, as a refresher course, if you will, this was basically a business designed to give business advice that went out of business. and according to this settlement, which was reached not only with unsatisfied former customers but also the new york attorney general, it was never a university at all. indeed, a million dollars of this from these new documents we can tell you, corresponds to something that the new york attorney general eric snyderman emphasized, which is this was a violence of new york law that claims something that wasn't a university was a university. he said, i'm pleased under the terms of this settlementment that every victim will receive restitution and that donald trump will pay $1 million in penalties to the state of new york for violating state education laws. we see that as well in these new documents, kate. >> ari melber following that. thank you so much. >>> news from flint, michigan, where the number of people criminally charged in the water crisis is now up

but a trump university degree is literally worthless. p using the word university because they were never a university. the rest of it though is opinion. >> if romney had been picked, he would have had a confirmation hearing. he would have been replayed that video again. he would have had to walk it back in some ways anyway. so he was going to have to reverse it. i think it is small of trump to ask for an apology. i remember hillary giving a detailed public apology. i'm not surprised trump asked for this and i'm not surpriseded romney decide not to do it. the remarks are out there. >> maybe he wanted the apology before formalizing the role. >> yes, at the end of the day, we know donald trump holds a grudge. >> mitt romney after did meet with donald trump, he came out and told reporters that he was impressed by the meeting. and at the end of the day, he thought it was enough. clearly donald trump thought it was insufficient. >> thank you for watching. you can find me on facebook or e-mail me whether you like the show or not at ari @msnbc.c

that is with the exception of trump university, where he put up a million dollars to start it. that pretty much was his standard deal throughout. and then of course grossly inflate the money he is worth, just as he inflated the cost for the air force one. >> here he is, trump says he is nicer than gordon gecko, now after he stages the comeback from losing, he takes the opportunity to get revenge for those who have done him wrong. this could be a sign of things to come, let's watch. >> there are a number of people who i really helped who didn't lift a finger for me when they could have. one person with one phone call could have saved me tremendous amounts of causes, refused to make that call, very easy to make that call. and i had made this person. so when the opportunity presents itself in all cases i will not be very good to those people. i believe very much in an eye for an eye. and i think a lot of other people do, too. and i think foolish people don't. >> well, there is a leading indicator. he believes in an eye for an eye and he is about to be chief executive of the united

campuses across te country protested thursday, demanding their university or college become a sanctuary campus. in the wake of donald trump's promises to deport millions of people immediately upon taking office, students are demanding university administrators refuse to share information with immigration authorities, refuse to allow ice agents on campus and support equal access to , in-state tuition and financial aid and scholarships for undocumented students. this is thais marques in new york city. i am undocumented. this matters to me because it directly affects my life but also, i've seen what deportations due to families. i've seen the pain of my community is so deep. this is just to show our community it is ok to come out as unafrfraid and unapologetic d really show ourur resilience tht we are going to fight and this is only the first step. amy: the pentagon has acknowledged killing two dozen civilians in u.s. airstrike in area in july, although some organizations say the death toll was considerably higher. the strike in a village near manbij. died inas 200 civilians a series of u.s.s. airstrikes in jujuly. frenchch p

. >> this is probably the greatest bait and switch since trump university. >> well, it is happening. and it's happening way, way faster than we expected it to happen. this wasn't supposed to happen until january 20th. the government wasn't supposed to go crazy until donald trump became president of the united states. most people around the world believed that that would be the first day, the first day that the american government officially went crazy. but it's already happened. it happened this morning at 9:55:00 a.9:5 9:55 a.m. that's when an obscure government office started drunk tweeting, tweeting that was provoked by another round of tweeting at dawn by donald trump. and for once, for once, the trump tweeting was actually about something important, something really important. at 6:39 a.m., the president-elect of the united states of america tweeted i will be holding a major news conference in new york city with my children on december 15 to discuss the fact that i will be leaving my -- and then it took him five minutes to finish that sentence in his next tweet at 6:44 a.m. when

i mean, one of the most amazing parts of the trump university litigation was that people who were thes were the customers. those are the people who spent thousands of dollars to go to trump university. and over time, many of them felt conned. what does a con look like in what you call trumpistan or in a society where true believers have taken in and become boosters? what turns them, if anything? >> well, we've seen -- you talked in a previous segment about the goldman sachs administration. it's absolutely unbelievable. but, in some ways, satire flourishes best when evil and stupidity collide. it's not just evil people, but also stupid people. and, you know, when you have ben carson doing hud and rick perry doing energy, you got a little bit of each. but the important thing is, i think, that there's something not funny, even though this is satire, there's something not funny that the war against the powerless is about to truly ramp up in this administration. and many of the people that will suffer will actually be the people who voted him into office. it's saturdd, but again, as art, a

trump will go under oath in the lawsuit that he brought, and new details on the $25 million trump university settlement he has to cough up. in other news, the durst interrogation video. why he says he was high on meth when caught on that hot mike with damaging statements. >>> we begin tonight with two big reports on new allegations against the trump family selling access, reportedly, to the white house. first, the center for public integritity reporting today donald trump's sons launched a texas nonprofit to sell access to their father on, get this, the day after the inauguration. we can show it to you. here is what they filed with the state of texas. those names listed are directors gentry beach and tom hanks jr., along with donald trump jr. and eric trump. and they say for $1 million, you can enjoy a bald eagle package or for less, a mere half million the as grizzly bear or a quarter million the elf package. the $1 million gets you a private reception and photo opportunity for 16 guests with president donald trump or a multi-day hunting and/or fishing excursion for four guests with donald

so what he needs to do, as he did with trump university, look, he is a pure pragmatist. it is the pragmatic move to get rid of this lawsuit and, for that matter, any others that are cropping up, because he has a lot more to focus on than that litigation from six months ago or a year ago. he needs to put this behind him and not sit for a deposition. >> you call it absurd that he would face this question, he would face this deposition. remind us what can be asked what can happen during a deposition? what kind of questions can come up? >> depositions are wide open. you're allowed to, in a deposition, ask anything that might get you to discoverable information. so it's not just what you say in this negotiation, it is literally background, other cases, other contracts he's had, other people he's had contract disputes with. that deposition is going to be open as all are. not just the questions on the individual lawsuit, but he needs to not open himself up to the ongoing discovery that's going to happen. then, most importantly for us as a nation, now review everything being sai

money coming into the operation rump the trump team has dealt with settle issues, settling the trump universitys, eric trump shutting down his foundation, and recently dropping the battle with hotel workers in las vegas and d.c. over unionization, allowing the d.c. workers to hold a vote and agreeing to a four-year contract with vegas workers, but still no road map on how the president-elect will disentangle himself from the worldwide empire, but the trump team is promising a press conference in the next few weeks to detail donald trump's business plans after initially postponing a december 15th press conference, but this is a cumbersome process. in fact the general counsel said they are currently working to reevaluate some of the various transactions and working to comply with conflict laws, donald trump saying he's immune from the conflicts laws. he is right, save for the emo emoltment's claws, jessica schneider, thank you very much. >>> we're back with our panel. ron, if i can't go to you first, you heard the dnc statement on this, calling this a wilted figure leaf to cover up hi remains con

attorney general in florida, her office was considering whether or not to join a lawsuit against trump university, trump used his foundation to give $25,000 to a campaign committee supporting bondi. so that's against the law. trump has now admitted to that and paid a $2500 penalty tax after our story came out. >> also interesting is that trump was very critical of those who gave money to the clinton foundation and expected or did in his view receive some sort of consideration or extra attention when hillary clinton was at the state department. but we know that one of the biggest contributors to the trump foundation was linda mcmahon and her husband, vince mcmahon, of world wrestling fame, and president-elect trump has picked linda mcmahon to be head of the small business administration in the trump administration. >> absolutely right. vince and linda mcmahon gave a total of $5 million in 2007 and 2009. they haven't said why. that's an enormous amount of money for the trump foundation which has always been very small, and it enabled trump to basically run his foundation without money from himself

"you can't fire me one week before the holidays. you're a monster. what about my son damien? you know he has asthma. he was counting on that harpy potter world." that's my devil. so trump looks like he's feasting on baby souls in that

he said trump university had an a rating. the list goes on and on. >> yet donald trump still elected president. did it make any difference? >> it's interesting. if he hadn't, would he have won by more or less? that's debatable. one thing that he did, he branded the news media as dishonest scum, the most immoral, dishonest, lying people on the face of this planet. he did it to such an extreme that the news media started reporting things. he doesn't pay taxes or lies about his charities, they dismissed that as another lie from the liberal media. it's a well felony fact that the truth has a liberal bias. >> talk about the harm of it being so misleading. >> he's actually basing policy on these things, if he's doing that it's scary. as his own campaign manager said, the media takes stuff too literally. he doesn't mean all this stuff literally. if you accept that, the problem is that there's no accountability. he issued a press release saying if you were a muslim, you can't be allowed into the country until we figure out what's goin

his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. ying the members of the american public for suckers. >> stephen: i don't know about the american public, but trump certainly played one guy for a sucker, because everybody thought mitt had it in the bag after trump took him to that fancy dinner in manhattan. it was nice. they had frog legs in a reduction of romney's dignity. ( cheers and applause ) oh! salty! oh! delicious! but it was all just a trick, because according to trump insider roger stone, "trump interviewed romney to torture him." that sounds pretty bad. but on the plus side, if this is trump's idea of torture, gitmo is about to get a lot fancier. "tonight, the torture sommelier is recommending a merlot-boarding paired with an aged brie." you don't want to know where they're putting the brie. we shouldn't be surprised. trump seems like the kind of guy who feels like one fancy dinner gives him the right to screw you. and to rub salt-- ( applause ) trump rubbed salt in romney's wounds because it looks like trump is going to pi
