Its a long list, but at the very top of that list is nbc news. Nbc had the story months ago. Their former anger, ronan farrow, conclusively exposed mos against weinstein by women who say he sexually harassed, groped, even raped them, but the number killed that investigation. Nbc news president Noah Oppenheim said the company had good reason for doing that, but that the company have good reason . Chris gallagher is taking very close look at this question and he joins us with an answer. Trace . Tucker, and be seen as has been on the record saying the reason he decided not to run the ronan farrow story on Harvey Weinstein is because he didnt have enough reporting to go on the air. Well, now, a number of outlets including the daily beast and Huffington Post are refuting that, saying that farrow began reporting back in january, and by july, he had interviewed at least eight weinstein accusers and it also secure the coveted new york police audiotape of weinstein admitting he groped a 22yearold italian model. Listen. Please, im sorry. Just come on in. Youre used to that . Come in. Den in august, a woman who accused weinstein of raped agreed to an oncamera interview as long as she was in so i do not identified. Saying it not only did nbc news and refused to provide a camera crew, they wouldve tried to stop interview altogether and tried to stop farrow from reporting on the strap together, so farrow paid for the chemical himself. Nbc says the opposite, saying, ronan wanted to keep forging ahead so we didnt want to state in his way, and he took it to the new yorker and did a ton more extraordinary work. But as the people inside and outside nbc reportedly claimed that they slow walk to the story and rented of the corporate chain. Not just news president andy lack but all the way up to universal ceo, something news employees call unprecedented. In fact, some told the huff post that weinsteins attorneys tried to kill the story and nbc news appeared to be synonymous. And it should be noted that last week when the New York Times first broke the story, both cbs and abc ran it during the evening newscast. Nbc did not come out saying weinstein was not a nationally recognized figure. The same excuse was used for pulling a weinstein skit from saturday night live. Tucker . Tucker thanks, trace. Lets be clear. Nbc is lying. News Division HeadNoah Oppenheim say they encouraged farrow to run the story. The opposite is true. Saying that he was given resources to report the story over many, many months. Maybe except for a camera crew. Oppenheimer says farrow story was not the story we were looking at what we made our judgment. I get another lie as farrow told Rachel Maddow, he finished the bulk of his reporting when he went to the the new yorker. That is why the legacy and accepted his peace in the first place . Mack. Why did you end up running the story for the the new yorker . You would have to ask nbc and nbc executives about the details. Im not going to talk about any stray they did or didnt run. It saying the story wasnt publishable, that it wasnt ready to go by the time he brought it to them. Obviously it was ready to go by the time you got it to the new yorker. I walked into the door at the new yorker with an explosively reportable piece that should have been public earlier and immediately, obviously, the new york recognize that, and it is not accurate to say it was not reportable. In fact, there are multiple determinations that it was reportable at nbc. Tucker we bet money that her employer didnt want Rachel Maddow to do that segment, but she did it anyway. Good for her. Why did a purported News Organization kill a blockbuster news story . Presumably we will find out at some point. This is a scandal and the truth has a way of emerging from those in the end. One possible explanation is to be 25. In the addition to being the head of nbc news, is a screenwriter with deep ties to the movie business and the Democratic Party establishment. Could it be that oppenheimer had a business relationship with the company . It is not a farfetched possibility as all, and yet as of today, oppenheim refused to say. Oppenheim ought to resign immediately, and if he doesnt, he ought to be fired immediately by nbcs parent company, comcast. News executives are not allowed to tell lies. They are not allowed to participate and cover ups. The act answer straightforward question straightforwardly. When they dont, you know they are corrupt, and that is exactly what nbc news is. For more on the Broader Media efforts to protect Harvey Weinstein the middle of all this, we are joined by a reporter with the hill newspaper. So the red flag for me and these are very, located stories and we dont all the answers. But we do know that nbc news, open Noah Oppenheim and Noah Oppenheims agent are refusing to answer questions. Asking if they had any relationship with Harvey Weinstein or his company. They wont answer that question. What is the possible range of explanations for refusing to answer a simple question like that . That is what bothers me about that, tucker, that the head of a News Organization is refusing to answer questions. He should go to, not the nbc news, obviously, dont keep it inhouse, but find some other publication, somebody dont compete with. Sit down and answer questions. Its exactly what you would ask a journalist with nbc news to do. You can break this down 100 different ways. Two ways that stick out to me, and trace brought up in his peace. 7. 5 hours after the story broke on thursday, the nbc nightly news, which is watched by 8 million people, did not cover it. Thats the new site. The entertainment side coming of seth meyers and jimmy fallon, didnt do any on Harvey Weinstein for five nights. Then you have saturday night live, as trace mentioned, there were jokes on weinstein, and then suddenly they didnt appear on air. Those four entities decided that it wasnt a story or the code red came down from somewhere and said, were not going to texas and thus they absently had to because it was blown wide open. That was point number one. Two, we talked about this many months ago. The access hollywood tape. Nbc property, access hollywood. And it just happened that this tape walked out the door, that they knew about for months, maybe longer, by the way, the content of it, ended up in a Washington Post reporters mailbox two nights before the second president ial debate. By all intents and purposes, that shouldve ended the election except the candidate was trump and his full foolproof to this sort of stuff, and obviously, he won. You look at those two simple explanations, right . Those scenarios. When compared, tucker, what we sow this week from nbc news and particularly yesterday where they had a bombshell report, that said the president wanted to include or increase, excuse me, our Nuclear Arsenal temple. And they had that in quotes, right . And then President Trump disputes that, but then secretary mattis says it is absolutely false. What was that story based on . Unnamed sources. We dont know where those horses came from. Would be some of his fathers, brothers, former roommate, we dont know. That was good enough to get to air. But ronan farrow, who had tapes, quit videotapes with actual accusers, thats not good enough for us. We dont want to get in your way. We dont want to get in your way . Go take it to the new yorker. Tackle all that and ask yourself, who do you believe . Tucker its remarkable. I dont think in my life i have ever taken the side of a politician over a new numeric News Organization. It pains me to do that. I think there lyras and debasing their own currency. The not the only Media Organization to be cast into this. But amazon, jeff bezos, seems to been sucked into the spyros mcallen. Do understand that . I read that on the way over here on the daily mail, you have a whole bunch of tweets from rose mccown, who was a big actress in the 90s, accusing bezos, the amazon owner, also by the way, the owner of the Washington Post, killing a series that she wanted to get on the air, and said also that she was raped as well. He read a couple of tweets and its hard to piece it together, but now what youre seeing here, tucker, this story has definitive breaks. It is almost now it is a week old and its going to get going and going because more journalists like the Huffington Post, like thee daily basis, like cnn, and more journalists are going to be exposed for protecting weinstein and then News Organizations. I think nbc was betting on, well, its the era of trump and this thing is going to pull over because the new cycle move so fast, and it is not going away. People are not going to let this go. Some people its a very high places, have a feeling, are going to be exposed to this far more than Harvey Weinstein. Tucker the revealing part was watching the entire ruling class mobilized behind him to defend him and the indefensible. Really interesting moment. Joe, thank you. Speak up thank you. Spoon for more developments in the story, which is moving quickly, we are joined by a senior editor. Thank you for coming on tonight. Thank you, tucker, for having me, as always. Tucker first things first, where is Harvey Weinstein . It. He is now going to a rehab center in arizona, but where harvey really is right now is in a crapload of trouble. If that nypd, scotland yard, and possibly, the l. A. P. D. Looking into possibly opening investigations into criminal charges. Tucker i dont think you understand, dominic, Harvey Weinstein is the victim here. What do know about the rose mcgowan allegations today . Here is books going on with this. We just had breaking news on this. This Sexual Harassment, obviously, big problem in hollywood, and it is now affecting amazon as well. They had just put the head of their tv division, right price, on leave for allegations of what has come out of Sexual Harassment that happened in 2015 with a top producer. That producer went public today. Price is now out or at least shifted aside temporarily. As for this rose mccowan situation, a, lets give full points to rose. She was one of the first people talking about the Harvey Weinstein situation when no one was listening to her in hollywood. Essentially what she is saying is, she had a project and develop with amazon which asked them and told them about the incident with weinstein and asked weinstein to not be, and i quote her bailed out. To effectively, it seems, killed her project. She is now calling fouled. Tucker have they responded . Has bezos office or amazon or the Washington Post, has there been any kind of response to her allegations . It not on this matter, tucker, at least not as far as i can tell having come on with the air with you right now. Again, like the weinstein case, this is something for every hour we are seeing something more. Lets go back to one thing very clearly. Less than a week after the New York Times unveiled the story, less than two days after the new yorker published their story, they are now 32 women, including ashley judd, rose mccowan, gwyneth paltrow, and many more who are saying that they were sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein. Including in that, three of them revealed in the new yorker, three of them are talking about rape which is why the nypd and perhaps the l. A. P. D. Might start looking this once again. Tucker it is hard to believe, if true, that something this past could have continued for this long without a huge number of people knowing about about it. It just doesnt make any sense. Dominic, thank you for coming on. That was a great description of what the latest is. Thanks. Thank you, tucker. Tucker with all of the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, and they are mounting by the hour, one of the what are the legal consequences .

Tucker weve got breaking and unexpectedness in the Harvey Weinstein case. Going to bring back Dominic Patten for the Business Applications of the scandal. What have you heard . We just published, tucker, at the time you and i were talking, my colleague, mike fleming junior, published a star with some of her other great reporter saying that the Weinstein Company itself, as harvey is looking down the valleys potential charges and allegations, the Weinstein Company itself, top hollywood agencies are now refusing to allow the talent to work with them, and looks like some financiers might be talking about pulling out money. In fact, the creator of hamilton has said he wants his film, he wants them to walk away from it. Thats big news, because now youre seeing whats happening with harvey personally, youre now seeing a company that might be on the brink. You can see all of this at deadline. Com. Tucker dominic, thanks for that update. Appreciate it. Apart from the scandal, there is a very real legal element to the Harvey Weinstein saga. According to at least one news source, the fbi is reportedly investigating him right now, as is the new York City Police department. We are joined now by judge jeanine pirro. Before she was a judge, she was a very wellknown prosecutor specializing in sex crimes. Judge, where it is Harvey Weinstein stand legally right now . [laughs] in a lot of trouble, tucker. Look, i heard the tape that the nypd, the special victims unit, put together. Make no mistake, that tape would have been sufficient to prosecute Harvey Weinstein, and the excuse that the tape was insufficient to prove a crime the tape that there was no intention on, or that there is no intention on the tape, the same argument that jim cole meet used with. The intent is the secret, silent operation of your mind, and in this particular tape, the intent is shown by harvey wants to make weinsteins own words. He says, oh, im sorry, oh, i wont do it again. She specifically says on the tape, but you touched my breast. Breast. He says, im sorry, come in, i wont do it again. She was wired, she went to the police immediately. They see her on surveillance cameras running out, very upset, acting just like a young woman who had been groped would act. This is a predator. He is a serial predator. He has prayed on vulnerable young women, and he dangles the carrot of fame and fortune and the ability to be in movies, and he has gotten away with it. There was a question as to whether or not cyrus vance, the d. A. Who injected this tape by the nypd has taken money from Harvey Weinstein, and im not suggesting that they are necessarily connected, but here is the bottom line. An ada worth his or her salt would have gone forward with a jury because this isnt just a he said, she said. This is a she said, he said, and then he said exactly what she said on the tape. Tucker we know that cyrus vance, the prosecutor he referred to, did take apparently 10,000 from the inhouse Democratic Party lawyer, worked for the clintons and work for Harvey Weinstein, was representing weinstein in this matter. Wouldnt that be improper for a prosecutor to take money from a lawyer who is casey had just dropped . I dont understand how that is allowed. Unless you can show a nexus, tucker, look, david boies represents all sorts of people, and that would be
