Reprehensible behavior. she felt the system was raping her all over again. how do you change that? >> every time one of these big revelations happens, the services say, oh, were sorry, were sorry, were sorry. we dont -- they dont condone it. of course from a very high level, nobody condones it. but they havent done enough to figure out what the problem is and then solve the problem. they havent attacked the culture. the culture that is very misogynistic that excludes women or marginalizes women....

Quarter earnings that beat expectations, but shares fell more than 7% following those results. so the question is what is behind the dip? >> so apple now joins the ranks of a lot of major tech companies, disappointing today. so investors here didnt like the shipping estimates for iphone, they didnt like changes to the reporting structure. they did report a strong services number and this includes things like apple pay and other services. so investors certainly divided in terms of how much focus ...

I think we have to remember that complete and verifiable denuclearization should be the goal of discussions with the north koreans but at this point we have massive intelligence gaps when it comes to something as basic as an inventory of north koreas wmd program. actually figuring out what north korea has and where is going to be a time intensive process and then, of course, figuring out what complete and verifiable denuclearization means for example, how often are weapons inspectors going to co...

Or equally as troubling and that is you have people in this white house for whom constitutional norms mean nothing. for whom codes of conduct mean nothing. the rules apply to everybody else, but not to us. so when general flynn, for example, is lying about what he told the russians, thats not a problem for donald trump. thats not a problem for the chief of staff at the time. its only a problem when somebody finds out about it. so, you know, theres a -- theres a set of rules here that i think is ...

Hes irgaarrogant and he plays set of rules that they dont think the rules apply to them. >> john kelly was-to-supposed to come in and shape everything up. by all accounts hes cleaned up the reporting structure in the white house, leaks are happening, maybe not quite as much. you can say theres been some effort there. if john kelly, a general, who donald trump respects, cant come in and get things together, is there anybody on planet earth who can do the job adequately of chief of staff. >> you m...

White house in the past what they say tend to be different than what actually transpires behind closed doors. i think well need to see how this plays out. general kelly had one day on the job and i do think were going have to have to take a wait and see approach as to how ivanka trump and her husband actually behave under the new reporting structure. and all the other aides in the white house for that matter. >> rick, people are asking the question is it wise for general kelly to allow ivanka an...

Everything hes done. he hasnt always agreed with everything ive done. but ive always respected his work immensely. but he is a brilliant man and writer and i found him to be a great guy to work for. its going to be a certain loss for everybody who is involved in primetime at msnbc. >> david, i dont want to put you on the spot too much, but its sort of my job in this case. was he well liked within msnbc? ive heard plenty of -- what was your impression? >> well, yeah, a fair question. i think the ...

His conflicts going back to when dan abrams was running msnbc and he had his conflicts with bill griffin. i think one thing to keep in mind is that not only are things changing with jeff zucker no longer running nbc, but the reporting structure. you have phil griffin that is going to be reporting to steve cap instead of the head of nbc. so steve cap is the head of nbc news, that will have a much more influence over msnbc, and this may be part of it. it was no secret that steve was particularly u...

Example, is lying about what he told the russians, thats not a problem for donald trump. thats not a problem for the chief of staff at the time. its only a problem when somebody finds out about it. so, you know, theres a -- theres a set of rules here that i think is -- and a mind set. i compared john kelly to don reagan, who was the infamous second chief of staff for ronald reagan, who was arrogant and politically inept. i think kelly reminds me of him. hes arrogant and he plays by a set of rule...

General electric, the reporting structure was going to be different. until comcast comes in, you have phil griffin who was a keith olbermann protecting directing to jeff zucker. under the new arrangement, hell be right above phil griffin. nbc news will have more of an influence and keith anticipated, justify my so that his wings might be clipped and the special commentaries he would be making, it would have to be paid to nbc news standards and judgment and keith felt he built the franchise for e...
