you re reporting a lot of inconsistencies, but overall did this rape even occur? she could be grossly wrong about the facts or making it up or something in between. have you been able to ascertain from your reporting whether she was assaulted? that s difficult to tell, of course. her friends believe something happened to her and they believe something awful and traumatic and horrific. and those based on the evidence that they have seen, that s what they believe. i ve spoken to two people who saw her in the immediate aftermath of the incident and both of them say they absolutely believe something happened, just maybe not exactly what was reported in rolling stone. looking at the facts, one of the things is whether an assault occurred of some sort and the whole idea of putting it in the public domain and how well you do your fact checking. the rolling stone is getting barbecued by everybody about its reporting. tell me, what did you determine to be when doing your report ....
say that you are the best msnbc host ever created by god. god created you, chris, to be here. thank you, michael. ec baldwin should be looking over his shoulder. no way. i was not lying, actually. that was me being nice. that is all in for this evening. the rachel maddow show starts right now. good evening, rachel. i don t take it personal at all. it was an impression. it was the voice of a certain hyperbolic character. i don t mind, doesn t bother me at all, which i m sure you can tell. thanks, my friend. thanks, michael. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. here s the story. in march of this past year there was an explosion in pasadena, texas. pasadena, texas, is about 11 miles outside of houston. there was a big explosion followed by a fire. smoke and flames could be seen for miles around. look at that. the whole neighborhood around this fire and explosion had to be evacuated. even the houston ship channel, the freeway onramp for all american oi ....
your government and the united states government seems to be miles apart on the syria issue, ukraine and other issues. did you feel that you ve cleared up any of those issues you mentioned earlier today since you ve had those discussions with secretary tillerson? we did discuss at length the future role for assad, whether it be in a future political process or not. clearly our view is that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. and they have, again, brought this on themselves with their conduct and war these past few years. we discussed our view that russia, as their closest ally in the conflict, perhaps has the best means of helping assad recognize this reality. we do think it s important that assad s departure is done in an orderly way, an orderly way, so achieved. this is a very high legal hurdle in order to bring such charges against an individual, so i would not suggest to you that all of that evidence is in place. but i think the longer time goes by, it s p ....
honored that recusal with regard to matters pending the department of justice, but i just want to comment on what may have been on anybody else s mind or offer any opinion about that because it s not for me to make those decisions. well, it is exactly, i think, why senator schatz asked a whole series of questions about the scope of recusal, because i am a lawyer. senator schatz may not be. he asked better questions than i did, but i also am having real difficulty understanding the scope of the recusal, its contours in definition, and i have an unresolved question about whether or not that s why the attorney general failed to appear before us today, is to avoid having to answer direct questions about the scope of his recusal. i do appreciate and respect your appointment of a highly talented special counsel, and there have been questions from both sides that imply strong support for his independence and his conduct, and i appreciate the care with which you are answering my questio ....
