All this comes as the president is locked in a highstakes standoff with north korea. This morning, nbc news has learned striking new details about a july 20th meeting at the pentagon, that proceeded secretary of state Rex Tillerson calls the president a moron. At the time, the president said the meeting, which included the defense secretary and Vice President , cabinet members and top military advisers, was very good. Tremendous people. Pentagon, nothing like it. Reporter but three officials describe a meeting that was, at times, tense. One key moment when the president told his National Security team, he wanted to expand the u. S. Nuclear arsenal to what amounted to tentimes its current level. The current number of u. S. Nukes is 4,000. According to sources, the president was shown a chart of the history of the Nuclear Arsenal, which peaked in the 1960s at 43,000 weapons. While some in the meeting didnt take the president literally, according to officials in the room, briefers explained to mr. Trump why expanding nuclears Nuclear Stockpile isnt feasible. The u. S. Is not planning to alter the size of its Nuclear Arsenal. It could not only break with u. S. Doctrine, it would break a number of international treaties. Since his candidacy, mr. Trump has been inconsistent with record regards to his stance on Nuclear Weapons. In some instances, he seemed opened to the idea. You said, its fine, you get Nuclear Weapons. And saudi arabia says, we want them, too. Its going to happen anyway. Its only a question of time. Theyre going to start having them. Or we have to get rid of them entirely. Reporter shortly before his inauguration, mr. Trump tweeted, the United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability, until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nuclears.

You have to be ready to ensure we have military options that our president can employ if needed. Reporter the white house wouldnt comment on the record for this story.

The conversations with the president are privileged. T Trump Administration is modernizing its arsenal, that does not violate treaties. Were learning about the response to last weeks mass shooting in las vegas. New audio recordings obtained by nbc news, capture the moment a Security Guard was shot on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. In a moment, another hotel worker who was there will share his story for the first time. Pete williams has the latest on the investigation. Pete, good morning to you. Reporter matt, these awe owe recordings and a revised Police Timeline have raised new questions about how quickly the Las Vegas Police learned that a man in the Mandalay Bay Hotel was armed and firing shots. Make sure youre out of the way. Copy. Reporter this is the sound of the actual first shots Stephen Paddock fired from his Las Vegas Hotel room. [ gunfire ] call the police. Someones firing a rifle on the 32nd floor down the hallway. Reporter before paddock sent down a hail of gunfire, he was shooting inside the hotel. A hotel Security Guard responding to a problem door was wounded when paddock fired 200 rounds at the guard. And police say a Hotel Engineer also outside the room, notifying superiors as paddock fired a barrage of gunshots. Its at the end of the hallway. Looked like he fired down the hallway. Reporter according to a revised Police Timeline, that was 9 59. Paddock started firing at the crowd at 10 05 and stopped at 10 15. A s. W. A. T. Team got to the floor at 10 17, and learned that the guard was shot and where the shots came from. That means it took Las Vegas Police to find out what the guard and the engineer already knew, where a man was firing a gun on the 32nd floor. If they had known about the Security Guard being wounded earlier, could they have been there even faster . It is always a race against a killer and the clock. Reporter Officials Say the guard told Hotel Security about the indoor shooting. But when were police notified. Mgm resorts says it cant comment was of the ongoing investigation. It says in a statement. We believe that what is currently being expressed may not be accurate. Las vegas, please join us reporter las vegas is in mourning. Overnight, the citys new nhl team, the vegas golden knights, in a 40game pregame ceremony, honored fir ee eed first respon. Mandalay bay security did report the indoor shooting to police. And he says the timeline may change again. And he commends the hotel staff for the response. Pete williams, thanks very much. Were glad to have steven chuck with us, the building engineer at the mandalay bay there that might, on the 32nd floor when the first shots were fired. Steven, good morning to you. Its good to see you. Good morning, thank you. We just learned about all that you went through in this experience. The first question is how are you doing right now . Im doing as well as expected. Better as the days pass. Take us through it, stephen. Theres been a lot of confusion about how this all transpired. What happened . My side. My story, i was on a higher floor. When i was called to check out a fire exit door that would not open. I came to the 32nd floor from a different wing. I was walking down. I didnt hear anything. Kept walking. I turned the corner from what we call the center court, into the 100 hallway. I thought i saw someone poke their head out. Nothing off set off my radar. Unusual yet. It was silent at this time. And as i walking down the heu hallway, i was a third of the way down the hallway. And i started to hear shots go off. They were not in the hallway yet. And as soon as they stopped, i saw him popped out because the doors are set back about a foot. He fpopped out and yelled at me to take cover. As soon as i went to a door in my left, a round came down the hallway. I could feel it. Something hit me in the back and i took cover. I wondered how i could get to jesus. He was shot in the leg. I told myself, he is going to have to stop shooting some time. It was kind of relentless. So, i called over the radio, what was going on. As soon as the shooting stopped, we made our way down the hallway and took cover again. And then, the shooting started again. Stephen, let me just say, weve heard this audio recording now. How did you remain so calm . Maybe your voice betrays what was going on inside of you. And second of all, if the reports are true there were 200 rounds fired by the gunman into the hall, you must feel incredibly lucky that you werent hit. Yeah. I am incredibly blessed that somehow i came out of there alive. When he first started shooting, you know, it was i was in disbelief. But i just had i told myself, remain calm. If i freak out right now, its only going to get me killed or injured. Remain calm. You know, call it over the radio, so we can get police on their way as soon as possible. Stephen, you mentioned jesus campos, who was the Security Guard that received a gunshot wound. He warned you. He said get down or get out. Do you feel he saved your life . Yes. My whole family and i, we all appreciate him. At first, when the first shooting started, i was kind of frozen, for a second. And he yelled at me, take cover, take cover. If he yelled a second too late, i would be shot. I owe him my life. What happened when the police arrived, stephen. Were you still there . I was still there, yes. We were directing them. Like, its this hallway. At the end of the hallway. Me and jesus, we never saw the door open. So, we thought he was shooting from the peephole in the door. We were telling police that. My supervisor was there. He handed me his master keys. And i ran down and shut off all the guest elevators and stopped guests on the basement floor. Let them know we have an incident upstairs. Stay down here. And i made my way back up to the 32nd floor to give him his keys so he could give them to the police to use them. After going through Something Like this, do you see yourself can you go back to work there . Can you ever feel the same way about going back to work at that hotel . Yeah. Its definitely difficult. But for someone to do something so cowardly and despicable, im not going to let that change my life. I mean, im going to go back to work. I like my career. And im not going to let that define me. Stephen, you were incredibly brave. The most unfathomable of circumstances. Give us our best to jesus. And thank you for your time. Youre welcome.

Two of hollywoods biggest stars say that weinstein sexually harassed them, too. Oscar winner Angelina Jolie told the new york times, i had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth.

Steph, thank you very much. Ronan farrow, was a contributor for the new yorker and an nbc news contributing correspondent, as well. Good to be here. Youve been working this story for a long time, for nbc news and the new yorker. I know its been a long and difficult process to get the actresses to be identified and go on the record with the allegations, after so many people have been chasing this for so long. Why do you think theyre coming foerl forward . Each of these sources, tore their guts out giving the details. This was a traumatic experience. This was a brave and important thing. And they did it because they thought it could prevent future crimes. Sources talked about that, because there was more of a culture of accountability now. Tluz with a moment for them to tell the story. And you speak to so many women in your story. And its across decades and different women, and sometimes across continents. And you report a striking m. O. Similarities in the story. And the women use that phrase. Modus operandi. The same details. A lot of people were accusing him of harassment. But there were three actresses who accused him of forcible rape. Thats right, hoda. And those are allegations that are a new level of seriousness. And those women especially today, very brave and very retraumatizing thing. And i want to highlight something else. The italian actress who had one of the rape allegations is one of several stories where she talked about going back to him afterwards. Thats a facet of many Sexual Assault cases. As you track this down, i want to read a statement from a spokesperson for Harvey Weinstein. She says, any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by mr. Weinstein. He said there were never acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances. Mr. Weinstein cant speak to anonymous allegations. But with respect to women that made allegations on the record, mr. Weinstein believes that all of the relationships are consensual. He had a full and fair opportunity to engage in this piece. He says it was conconsensual. He says he never retaliated against the women. And the women tell a very different story. And the story, you see when you read it, there seemed to be this culture of silence around weinstein and this culture of enabling that wednesday on. So, there are 15 former and current employees in this article. They talked about feeling guilt and felt they aided and abetted a pattern of Company Meetings that were cover for predatory advances on vulnerable women. Its an extraordinary story.

This is where it matters. We are trying to watch our weight. I did it a couple of years ago, right here on the today show. My colleagues were hinting that i was overweight. Maybe you should be involved in a weight loss challenge. And i ate differently. And i counted calories. I picked restaurants where they list the calories right there on the menu. I relied on it. I know so many of you do, too. You have to wonder how accurate are the menus really . This morning, we are going undercover at some of the most popular restaurants. And now, one of the biggest chains in the country is actually changing its menu, based on our results. From sitdown restaurants. Can i have the grilled chicken parmesan. To fast food chains.

Thats under, too. At california pizza pitchen, the menu with 600 calories. Our dish, 384. Thats more than 200 calories less. What do you make of the results . Consumers are being tricked. Reporter even though theyre low center. If theyre lower, that means they might be higher in other situations. And the consumer is not getting what they think their getting. Reporter thats what we find. At shake shack, the single shack burger, 550 cal roins tories on menu, our berger, 551 calories. At chickfila, 440 calories on the menu. The one we tested, 473 calories.

We have known each other for quite a while. Probably 25 years or so. In all the time ive known her, i never knew you were a huge, or massive jackie chan fan. I love the dude. When did that start . I manual it started with bruce lee. I was a huge bruce lee fan. And to do this film with him was a kick in the pants. We didnt really get to know each other that well because his character was chasing my character. When jackie wasnt working, it was on a plane to china to make another movie. The man works. When you did get to meet him, did you do the fan guy thing . Ive always been a fan type thing . I did. Yeah. I hugged him. I embraced him. My god, jackie. Let me touch you. He was so gracious. And he worked hard on this film. His english is good. But its when you do a drama, when you do a comedy, you can get away with blue murder. When you do a drama, you have to be precise. You would get up and run lines with him. He appreciated it. Its based on a 1992 novel. And you feel theres a real degree in relevance of what were going through today. Its dealing with terrorism. When you see theres a scene in the movie, where i got up on a sunday morning to watch them do the explosion of the bus on the bridge, it really is powerful. Its potent. Its relevant to what we see in our society today. I play a character who is first minister of northern ireland, who was a terrorist. Its close to the bone in that respect. But its a thriller. The book was written 25 years ago. The guy who wrote the book wrote the part for me as the young terrorist. But time goes on. And now, im playing the aging prime minister. While it is an Action Thriller, theres a lot of violence. If you give it time, theres a message of peace in the movie. There is. Theres a great ambivalence. Thats what you want in drama. You have the audience thrown offcenter, so to speak. Youre about to do the sequel to mamma mia. In the end of this week. In the middle of dancing queen. The bloodshed in that movie. Is it as much fun to do a movie like that in singing and dancing as it would appear to the untrained eye . Its a joy. It was criminal how much fun we had making that movie. We have the whole cast back. Were known as the legacy cast. And then, underneath this, we have the younger versions of ourselves. So, its a prequel sequel, without giving too much away.
