senate here for the judge roy moore events here. this is a key race because losing here would endangered the republicans the majority in the senate. we're getting ready to welcome a republican candidate for senate without further ado let's give judge roy moore a warm air fart that you well. you've probably already heard of roy moore because of a scandal that's overshadowed his camp. again in november news broke of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls when he was in his thirty's allegations he's denied but even before that more was a highly controversial candidate assy got a thumbs up from president saw guess something in her i think you came to hear him speak in late october when he was addressing the alabama federation of republican women. there's a big battle going on in the republican party. we've forgotten where we've come from. and what we are down. here a few headlines this washington post jim flake out roy morion heaven help us. well i hope heaven does. more is a staunch of vangelis and throughout his

bill is and the senate. complies with these budget rules by canceling the individual mandate which actually saves the government money you throw people are healthier that's. money that's why they're doing that but they also do it by ending all of the tax cuts that benefit middle class people in the senate bill and in two thousand and twenty six and at that point actually because the elimination of deductions are permanent in the corporate tax cut or permanent after twenty twenty six the senate bill turns into a plan for raising taxes on about seventy percent of americans to find a giant corporate tax cut the theory that republicans are working on is that in twenty twenty six even if democrats are in power the middle class tax cuts are going to be renewed because no one's going to let this middle class tax i go into effect but as written there is a plan to raise taxes on the middle class in ten years in order to fund a giant tax cut for corporations and owners of stocks ok eric levitz thank you so much for he

state of minnesota against a senator accused of sexual harassment. all gathered inside the state capitol building after senator al franken was accused of forcibly kissing and groping a woman in two thousand and six with a comedy tour he apologized telling the woman i am ashamed my actions ruined that experience for you protesters say the statement doesn't go far enough. donald trump is also criticizing franken a move some call ironic pedicle heinous war from washington d.c. this picture is everywhere else franken at the time a comedian groping a woman who is asleep leeann tweeden says franken also kissed her without her consent while they were both on a tour entertaining troops. he released a statement saying he made a huge mistake with the picture writing to tell her he had no excuse which she says she accepts people make mistakes i mean i'm not i'm not calling for him to step down franken has asked for the senate to launch an ethics investigation into his conduct the man who wants to be the next u.s. senator from alabama is taking a much different

will it get through the senate. well that's the big question it's hard to say because they're trying to balance competing priorities and of different contingencies within the republican party as i alluded to earlier some republican senators are worried about the fiscal effects of the bill and how much it will add to the deficit over the ten year window senator rubio also offered an amendment that would increase the refund ability of the child tax credit so it is it is hard to say especially with the the parliamentary question and. i think they are hoping to get something quite soon and there is a good amount of meant momentum so i wouldn't be surprised if there was a vote quite soon. more important to do it saw still to get it right i think again you have to balance considerations of the implications of something that has effects on so many areas of the economy with the question of whether if they don't move forward with something now will they ever have a chance to do so again all right good still she so many thank

and i felt that as one time as you know the senate. or the senate. i'm a look are. they . are there things. that even if they are in a good deal of his them in one. document isn't in. effect this are. not. don't. know how would you follow what he. would not. live our life someone i would guess that they are. if you consider what i. mean. there are. a lot of the. but the lot of the. many in the us just. how we. don't. know that i would be. what you. want i'm not about. to watch. under the national. committee he didn't. know and you have to say the money. cost more in the book but. one of the dead money how. little of. the movies from our house and nearly. killed my few million not. just for more in america. money. and in addition when you move. to. a. beloved family. meet. love how. did. the. father do. to. hike. the. heil heil to. the. good movie. and that was you have not heard from. the seventies in them in mn they've been fixing. the. whole route. rather. than how hard and how heavy it. is and you do. i can't. imagine anyone that has the most of the. other get the. vent

senate and so this is the concern for this tax reform proposal because in the senate version of the tax reform bill there's something very controversial tucked inside and that is the effort to. get rid of what's known as the individual mandate under obamacare that's the requirement that you must buy health insurance so that is causing some consternation as is the fact that there is a republican very problem prominent republican senator who says he is not going to support this version of the bill so the republicans certainly don't have a lot of room to play in terms of votes it may pass in the house it may not pass in the senate and that would be bad for donald trump looking for a legislative victory and really only a few maybe ten legislative days left in the calendar before the end of the year the president looking for a win and that still seems to be in doubt kimmie how can i thank you very much indeed a rare painting byron i saw a small astronaut event she has become the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction the portraits of jesus christ went for four times its estimated v

it's an issue congress has not discussed for decades in the era of president trump though senators are now asking the hard question can the president really order a nuclear attack without any controls that question is asked more and more by the american people and of course it's fueled by comments made by president trump in regards to north korea they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never seen some experts contend there are checks and balances in place but i can say that for nuclear decision making at the highest level it's a it's a consultation process and there are senior people involved in that process what would be the case though is it wouldn't be the president alone persuading a single military officer alone on the other side of the telephone there would be a large group of advisers and legal advisors weighing in on this but some senators argue this president does not always accept or indeed seek advice no one can tell the president no not secretaries madness or to listen even general kelly the president's chief of staff can't control the president's twitter ta

now nevin protests against the democratic senator he's been accused of sexual harassment i. people gathered in the minnesota state capitol building after al franken was accused of forcibly kissing and grouping a woman in two thousand and six last traveling with a comedy tour he apologized telling the woman i'm ashamed to my actions ruined that experience for you protest to say the same and doesn't go far enough he's the latest in a series of high profile men to be accused of sexual assault. and president trump has weighed in criticizing the senator but as patty culhane reports from washington he's being accused of hypocrisy. this picture is everywhere else franken at the time a comedian groping a woman who is asleep leeann tweeden says franken also kissed her without her consent while they were both on a tour entertaining troops we know he released a statement saying he made a huge mistake with the picture writing to tell her he had no excuse which she says she accepts people make mistakes i mean i'm not i'm not calling for him to step down franken has asked for the senate t

senate in alabama roy moore a former judge who has had several women come out with what seem to be quite credible allegations of trying to date them when they were very very young we did not hear anything from him is that is the silence deafening on that front. well it was rather we were expecting to hear some kind of position being expressed by president trump on this whole issue now what must remember that ray moore was contesting a senate seat that was left for catered by jeff sessions when he became attorney general now the republican party has gradually come around to distancing itself from over the allegations of his sexual misbehavior as it is seen and funding has been withdrawn he is in the polls has been completely reversed he is now trailing in most polls in that particular state but that was in the republican party those looking to president drum to take some kind of position on the issue taking some kind of leadership position from him but as you said the silence was deafening at this particular point ok mike hanna live in washington d.c. thank you mike snyder is a political

there's not much time left you've got to pass the house of representatives you have to pass in the senate then you need to reconcile those two bills before the president could sign into law for a president who campaigned saying there would be a lot of winning going on he hasn't had a win yet on capitol hill so these votes for him are crucial can be how to thank you very much indeed a sermon in new york because on and journalists around the world who faced intimidation harassment and imprisonment in the last year alone thirty four journalists were killed while doing their jobs and more than two hundred fifty others were jailed him or his own day reports. and he labrat evening gallon but for a cause to fight for press freedom the committee to protect journalists one of the top we're going to is ations that defends the rights of journalists to work without fear of reprisal honoring several reporters for their courage. one is a friend nasser a yemeni reporter and blogger who now lives in exile in sweden after receiving death threats in her native country for her critical reporting of the gove

easily in the house of representatives it still has to pass in the senate to become law and that will be a challenge that's because tucked into the senate version of the legislation is a plan to end something called the individual mandate or the requirement under the affordable care act that all americans must buy health insurance or pay a tax fine without healthy people being forced to buy insurance sick people who often can't afford it pay a larger share of the cost people who benefit from government subsidized health care are worried eunice hagler is partially blind as a result of a tumor that wasn't treated in time because she couldn't afford proper health care now she does have government help it's a matter of life and death. you know it's it's not a maybe it's now ok well we can wait we can't wait. people literally. theory patient health care isn't what's driving these changes it's politics the few days left in the legislative calendar and after nearly ten months in office this may be donald trump's last hope of delivering tax reform and dismantling obamacare allowing him to kee

and staunch trump critic elizabeth warren the senator who's claimed native american ancestry was quick to respond it is deeply unfortunate that the president of the united states cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a wave or the president spokesperson said there was nothing offensive about it you know most people find offensive is senator warren a line about her heritage to advance her career but native groups such as the national congress of american indians have expressed outrage at the president's use of the name pocahontas before and again called it a slur that denigrates her legacy and i think her native women who are reading the right guy taking one of the name one of the stories of our women and erasing a story but using her name but you are to turn. only helps to continue the extremely high level of violence we have against nato bombing today you know where the controversy overshadowed recognition of the veterans who use the navajo language to transmit secret messages during world war two sending what some insist is a message

senate but now he has decided to launch an attack on senator franken on twitter basically saying the pictures really bad what happened to his hands in pictures two three four five and six and basically poking at the senator for being a defender of women's rights just a week ago and he mentioned something about tapes that aren't explained but the tapes that now people are going to focus on is the one during the election that came out of president donald trump at the time when he was a television star reality t.v. star accidently caught on a high. mike. bragging about groping for sleep kissing women and grabbing them by their genitals and they let you get away with it is what he said on tape now this combined with more than a dozen women who said he sexually harassed assaulted them he now has put himself into the conversation that is sweeping the country politically probably not a wise decision but not unexpected considering what we're talking about other parallels here patsy in your mind between what we're talking about and to do with frankenstein because that's what mr trump told him

now we want to say in zimbabwe for a moment senator decision made in the united states concerning that country and zambia as well now this is the about the remains of elephants legally hunted in boats and bubbly in zambia which can now be imported into the united states as trophies this is another reversal of an obama era decision by this trump administration and it's a divisive move quickly praised by the likes of groups that champion the big game trophy hunting including a safari club international and also interesting the lobbying arm of the national rifle association but conservationists call the decision troubling this is a really a disaster for african elephants elephants are in dangerous decline and it's outrageous that the trample ministration is greenlighting trophy hunters to go into zimbabwe and kill our offense when you look at the dollars that hunting brings in you're looking at funding for the conservation department in those countries most of their funding it does not come from the government coffers it comes from hunting let's talk to halakha whom they're now who is the

senator from alabama is taking a much different approach to his allegations seven women have said he either attacked or approached them for sex when they were teenagers now an eighth woman says more a former judge aggressively grabbed her behind while she was leaving his office that day down there a scar me for life and now people hot they're saying i was just a grouch i was barred from the start and he was a station of power and i think there he wanted to take my power he can feel powerful the more campus pushing back denying the allegations he's refusing to get out of the race instead of putting women supporters on camera this is a he's a and he's situation. some of which are forty years old most republicans say they believe his accusers with one notable exception to the right for. breaking the. president donald trump hasn't spoken out about more a republican but he lashed out at senator franken on twitter writing the l frankenstein picture is really bad speaks a thousand words where do his hands go in pictures two three four five and six while she sleeps his words about a picture

senate as being the reason that this occurred even sort of essentially blaming chuck schumer for the attack that occurred in new york something that the senator pushed back on rather strongly on the floor of the senate accusing the president of not only didn't dividing the nation but also politicizing a tragedy and it's hard to not what else to try to say about it. well some of the other remarks the president made which are particularly controversial is not only that he has called this suspect an animal but that he has suggested that he should be sent to guantanamo bay prison in cuba and of course tom obey has long been controversy will it was suggested in fact under barack obama that it should be close something that donald trump on the campaign trail has promised to reverse of course is rel the reason this is controversial is that those that have been held there often for more than a decade have been held without charge so the point that the president is trying to make is that he believes this person deserves that not to have sort of the the rights that american citizens are extend

it's a race with national implications the special election for the senate seat in alabama is a test of donald trump's populism i believe and so. pitting ultra conservative republican roy moore against democrat doug jones but new explosive allegations against moore could jeopardize his chances according to the washington post leak or famine now in her fifty's says back in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine when she was just fourteen years old more approached her he was thirty two years old at the time more was reportedly working at the local district court in court and smothered gone inside the court room to attend a hearing courtman tells the post more approached her two more times driving her into the woods to allegedly kiss her and remove her clothing more claims the story is nothing more than a smear campaign in a statement he said these allegations are completely false and are desperate political attack by the national democratic party and the washington post this garbage is the very definition of fake news still the newspaper owned by amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos a top democrat

well there is some criticism coming from democratic senators who say that he should have been more more forthcoming about his international financial holdings while he was going through the confirmation process to become commerce secretary but some analysts have also pointed out that senators did question him about his role when he was involved with the bank of cyprus which is a has done a lot of business with rich russian people but they didn't specifically ask him about the work that navigator was dealing with russian companies including the one that has very close ties to the leadership of lot of mir putin the russian president so this really is a matter of watching to see whether there's enough political uproar here in washington to see whether his job is going to be in jeopardy but clearly there seems to be some competition for that because they're trying to deal with tax reform in this country there also again debating the question of gun control and so the what happens with wilbur ross could end up falling by the wayside because there's only so much bad with as it were here in of
