and i wouldn t count him out. i think what s tracting hattraco this race is no one democrat has emerged and you re dealing with someone in michael bloomberg who was told it s impossible before. he was never supposed to be mayor. you know, one of the only reasons he was mayor is because of september 11th. and the city really in a crisis looking towards steady leadership, towards steady financial leadership as well. and that really created an opening for michael bloomberg to step on to the stage. frankly, i think he is an example. the you love him, hate him, no one s really indifferent about bloomberg. it s an example of somebody who is kind of an average guy in some ways, an average joe stepping up to the plate and, you know, becoming kind of an extraordinary american figure. wow. okay, ozzie, does his running as a centrist predispose what s
democrats if somebody on the sidelines could actually lead the pack? that s all coming up on the daily briefing . the reporting in the book speaks for itself. it s meticulously fact-checked, including with nbc fricatives. the responses in the book. they had an opportunity to respond. with the book lays out in an indisputable way, we are very confident in his reporting, and has held up discreetly by multiple outlets now, is that there was indeed a paper trail of settlements at this company. harris: ronan farrow s new book, catch and kill, out today. nbc news president denying a coverup of sexual misconduct allegations against matt lauer, or any hindering of pharaoh s reporting. no oppenheimer wrote this in an speethirteen with as a member to step the effort to defame nbc news is clearly motivated by and asked a grand predispose on the series of distortions, confused outlines , and outline accuracies. however, nbc host chris hayes
harris: some people are looking for that entertainment. in the eye of the beholder, is the responsibility to try and get a plethora of sources. it s good to be accurate. you talk about hillary clinton versus how donald trump is president. one was being covered as a friend and the other was being covered with the predispose notion of a criminal. that s a filter that you can see. one is posed with different types of questions. if anybody wants to challenge me on that, i would love to hear it. just watch the difference between the initial coverage of these software to stomach meghan: we ve had tht conversation so many times on the couch about the media and their impression of what
fact she wins. and people said, you re crazy. they re going to have to come around. you ve been doing some reporting on this. what are you hearing? well, i think there is a split that s emerging and in part because you have a faction of republicans who are creating this new litmus test that if you re a true conservative you re going to block any nominee the potential clinton presidency puts up. i talked to marco rubio about this topic. he said he won t predispose, is the word he uses, any nominee proposed by clinton to that kind of test, implying that they might get at least a hearing. then you have jeff blake who has actually said we should just confirm merrick garland in the lame duck because clinton will probably appoint a more liberal just. where do they want to go after this election and how do they want to resolve what we call trumpism if in fact hillary clinton wins and this is how they created trumpism by putting up promises they were never going to be able to keep. if you sa
a referendum in the supreme court vacancy, they may ignore the result if it doesn t go their way and proceed to take a sledgehammer to constitutional traditions. joining me now sabrina, let me start with you. i ve been having this debate for months now. the republicans will block a hillary clinton nominee if in fact she wins. and people said, you re crazy. they re going to have to come around. you ve been doing some reporting on this. what are you hearing? well, i think there is a split that s emerging and in part because you have a faction of republicans who are creating this new litmus test that if you re a true conservative you re going to block any nominee the potential clinton presidency puts up. i talked to marco rubio about this topic. he said he won t predispose, is the word he uses, any nominee proposed by clinton to that kind of test, implying that they might get at least a hearing. then you have jeff blake who has
