Transcripts For MSNBCW Way Too Early 20160921

Good morning, everyone, its wednesday, september 21st, im alex witt alongside louis burgdorf. Were following some breaking news overnight. The city of charlotte, North Carolina, is on edge after violent protests erupted over the Deadly Police shooting of a black man. More than 200 demonstrators gathered last night carrying signs and in some cases verbally taunting officers in riot gear. According to an nbc producer on the scene, Authorities Say officers used flash bangs and tear gas to disperse that crowd. They add 12 officers were hurt, including one struck in the face by a rock. The unrest began quickly after news spread about the death of 43yearold keith lamont scott. Police say they were serving a warrant on another man yesterday afternoon at an apartment complex when they came upon scott in his car. At this point, all we know is they are in the apartment complex parking lot and this subject gets out with a weapon, they engage him, and one of the officers felt a lethal threat and fired his weapon because of that. A social media post by a woman who said she is the daughter of scott said he was unarmed and disabled. A Police Source said both the man who died and the Police Officer who shot him were black. Lets bring in Chris Clackum live in charlotte for the very latest on this violent night, rather, chris, things have calmed down a bit since the apex of things last night. Reporter they have indeed, alex, but only just a short while ago. And after only after a night, as you said, some very tense and very volatile standoffs between police and protesters. At one point reaching the point where they were damaging, the protesters were damaging the police cruisers, as well as throwing objects, rocks and bottles, at Police Officers, resulting in those 12 injuries that you mentioned to the officers. However, none of those injuries believed to have been serious injuries. At one point they did indeed use the police did use the tear gas. That seemed to disperse much of the crowd. However, several of them moved over to a major interstate running through charlotte, i85, and blocked the road in both directions. Police quickly broke that up, but that was only a short while ago, and again, the mayor and the chief of police of the city of charlotte are calling for calm, promising a thorough investigation. And theres going to be some cleanup, certainly, we see the broken glass and debris behind you on the roadway. Chris clackum, thank you so much. Also new details about a deadly shooting in tulsa, oklahoma, which sparked national outrage. Video shows a white officer fatality shooting an unarmed africanamerican father of four. Now were hearing the officers side of the story. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez reports. Reporter with Terence Crutchers suv stopped in the middle of this twolane road, a 911 caller wasnt sure what to make of him. Officers responding to an unrelated call spotted him. Ive got a subject who wont show me his hands. Reporter but said they ignored his commands for more than a minute. Crutcher had his hands up as he walk back to his vehicle. An officer in the chopper makes this observation. Looks like a bad dude, too, could be on something. Reporter seconds later an officer deploys her taser, another fires her gun. That officer is on paid leave. She joined the Police Department five years ago. She said she was never this scared ever in her entire life. Reporter her lawyer said crutcher was acting erratically and said he was trying to reach inside his vehicle for a weapon. She clearly believed him to be under the influence of some type of narcotic, possibly pcp, because she is a drug recognition expert. Reporter citing the lead investigator in the case that a vial of pcp was found in the suv. Still, toxicology tests are not finished and no weapon was found. You can see that reporter the attorney for crutchers family argue the video show crutcher wasnt reaching inside the vehicle because his window was up. It shows this department, like many Police Departments around america, see people of color as criminals, as suspects, but not as american citizens. Reporter the District Attorney is now reviewing the case to see if any criminal charges should be filed. And that was nbcs Gabe Gutierrez reporting. Last night donald trump continued his what do you have to lose message to africanamericans but speaking to a mostly white audience in North Carolina last night, a city named after a slave owner, trump seemingly left out the long and seemingly sordid history in jim crow. Were going to rebuild our inner cities because our africanamerican communities are absolutely in the worst shape that theyve ever been in before, ever, ever, ever. You take a look at the intercities, you get no education, you get no jobs, you get shot walking down the street. They are worse, i mean, honestly, places like afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities. And president obama slammed this approach during a speech to the Congressional Black Caucus on saturday. You may have heard hillarys opponent in this election say that theres never been a worse time to be a black person. I mean, he missed that whole civics lesson about slavery and jim crow. Donald Trumps Campaign is fighting back against a report questioning whether his charity engages in self dealing. The Washington Post reports the republican nominees Trump Foundation used 250,000 to settle legal disputes, a potential violation of self dealing rules prohibiting nonprofit leaders from using Charity Money to benefit themselves. One settled unpaid fines from the town of palm beach, florida, over the height of a flag pole at trumps club. Another case resolved a dispute over a hole in one golf contest at Trump National in new york, requiring trump to make a 158,000 donation to the plaintiffs chosen charity. A 2013 Foundation Donation to the d. C. Preservation league bought an ad in a gala program that was an advertisement for trump hotels. And a 10,000 check purchased a portrait of trump at a charity auction. The Washington Post reported trump did not respond whether it was used for a charitable purchase. Readers sent a photo apparently of that portrait hanging in trumps doral resort in miami. Speaking with Brian Williams last night, trumps running mate mike pence responded to the story. I think what we found is theres a number of factual errors in that story, as there were in previous stories about the Trump Foundation. Im confident theyll be able to address those and demonstrate they fully complied with the law. Do you know what the factual errors are the campaign is alleging in the Washington Post story . Well, i think the foundation will be able to lay those out. There were errors in the previous Washington Post stories. In a statement, in typical Washington Post fashion theyve gotten their facts wrong. It is the Clinton Foundation set up to make sure the clintons personally enrich themselves by selling access and political favors. The Trump Foundation has no board, no rent or overhead and no family members on its payroll. There was not or could not be any motive to make improper payments. It goes on to say the post reporting is peppered by inaccuracies by a biased reporter. Trump retooled his charity to use other peoples money and has not donated to it from 2008. As a matter of disclosure, our Parent Company made a half million donation in 2012. Last night in North Carolina trump spoke of fondness of using other peoples money in business when approaching the crisis in syria. Were going to get the gulf states to pay for safe zones. Well lead the project like its called opm, i do that all the time in business, other peoples money. Nothing like doing things with other peoples money, because it takes the risk. You get a good chunk of it, it takes the risk. Were going to do this, in this case, from a humanitarian standpoint. Omp, other peoples money. Former president george h. W. Bush plans to vote for Hillary Clinton this november, this according to a member of the kennedy family. A photo posted to facebook by kathleen kennedy, former governor and daughter of the late robert f. Kennedy shows her shaking hands with the former president , along with the caption the president told me hes voting for hillary. Townsend met with bush in maine on monday and later confirmed the 41st president , also Richard Nixons rnc chairman told her he planned to vote for clinton. A spokesperson for president bush said the former president would not be commenting on the president ial race between now and the election and added the vote president bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that, a private vote cast in some 50 days. Both donald Trumps Campaign manager and his running mate weighed in on bushs voting decision last night. Well, i respect the 92yearold former president very much and his decision, and i think that americans are very grateful to the bush family for their public service. Thats his right. It is ironic he would vote for the wife of the man who knocked him out of the race. Bill clinton defeated bush 41, erin, in 1992 for his reelection. I have to tell you, my respect and, frankly, affection for our 41st president is boundless, but i respectfully disagree with his decision in this election. Look, everywhere i go, here in virginia, campaigning across the country with donald trump and for donald trump, the American People are pining for change. All right, alex. Lets turn to business now. The scandal at the countrys biggest bank made its way to capitol hill yesterday where john stumpf was interrogated from both sides of the ale over his part in the banks opening accounts without customers permission. Nbcs tom costello has more. Reporter called before congress, the ceo of wells fargo quickly fell on his sword. I accept full responsibility for all unethical sales practices in our Retail Banking business. Reporter but he faced bipartisan condemnation. So you havent resigned, havent fired a single senior executive. Reporter the scale of the fraud, stunning. Wells fargo admits its employees fraudulently opened more than 2 million bank and credit card accounts, forging applications to boost sales figures. Frank noticed he was being charged 15 to 20 a month for accounts he never opened. One time i remember looking at it, counting it, i had 15 accounts at once. Reporter the bank opened unauthorized accounts for linda and kate edwards, she says, ruining her credit rating. Thats one heck of a birthday president. Reporter the chief of Retail Banking left in july with a 125 million parachute. The bank has fired 5,300 employees for the fraud. The common practice called crossselling taken to an extreme. Failing to notify customers about the sham accounts opened. And this isnt crossselling, this is fraud. Reporter ceo stumpf insisting it was not an orchestrated standard practice. We never directed, nor wanted our team members to provide products and services to customers that they did not want. The only way that wall street will change is if executives face jail time when they preside over massive frauds. Tom costello reporting there. Wells fargo has already been hit with 185 million in fines and the executive that got that 125 million payout package, she could still get an end of the year bonus. Ahead of another company embroiled in controversy is also set to testify on capitol hill today, this time the ceo of mylan over the companys price hike of the life saving epipen. Cnbcs Nancy Hungerford joins us live from london. This is a story thats infuriated a lot of people. That is for sure. And a lot of people on capitol hill where the mylan ceo Heather Bresch will be appearing later today before the house, and ahead of this testimony, pressure has been building on mylan, specifically when you look at state of West Virginia, which is tricky situation considering the ceo Heather Breschs father serves as senator of the state. The West Virginia attorney general has been calling for a subpoena on mylan looking into these price increases of the epipen, and, in fact, there is speculation of potential fraud when it comes to that states medicaid program, so thats one to watch. Also scrutiny over the exact rebate practices involved with epipen. A Senate Committee has called for an investigation into that one. And theres also been reports when it comes to Medicare Part d spending for epipens has grossly outpaced the number of users on the plan. If thats not enough, theres been a second report breschs mother was leading a charge to put epipens in schools during her time as National Association of the state boards of education, so plenty of discussion around that issue today on the hill. Just one more for you guys, investors will be closely watching a Central Bank Double whammy today. The bank of japan made tweaks to quantitative easing program, which has been well received by equities in japan and in europe, but next stop will be the federal reserve. Markets dont expect action today, but look for comments pointing to december. Guys, back to you for now. The mylan story sounds like its not going away any time soon.

Were in this amazing streak here, unprecedented streak of temperatures that are well above where they should be. Heres a map. This shows you over the last 16 months weve now gone 16 consecutive months of record warm monthly temperatures. In other words, each month weve broken the record for the warmest possible in may, june, july, all the way back through this winter and then over the last couple months. Thats unprecedented.
