coordinator for the woman led peace in social justice movement code pink and in berkeley we have john walsh he is a scientist peace activist and author of numerous anti-war publications are gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate john let me go to you first because you got up early as for this program i much appreciate it. if we're if we look at cam the campaign trail we look at candidate trump and we look at his foreign policy eleven months in here first of all there's a great discrepancy but is there any coherence to his foreign policy in respect of what he ran on from the time he was inaugurated to now do you see a trumpy in vision out there go ahead john then it's a really difficult question because as you noted there are powerful forces against the vision that here take you they did such as it was during the campaign and i think maybe it's good to go back to that for a second because. i'm especially interested in how. american progressives are reacting to his clearly what were themes of peace and so let's can we can

there which is a lot more complicated than the mainstream media want to talk about and of course as john has pointed out u.s. russia relations are dead in the water go ahead george. yes that's absolutely right by and large he hasn't affected any serious change in u.s. foreign policy but there are indications that he would like to effect some kind of a serious change i mean despite all of the criticisms that he is on the for his suppose that friendliness toward russia even though there's no evidence for it. and and despite of the fact that he's facing a serious prospect of impeachment over his supposed. traitorous attitude toward russia he has maintained a friendly stance towards russia. he didn't need to meet with putin he did meet with him and then he didn't need to. talk to the press and tell them that he thinks of relations with russia is a good thing and not a bad thing so he took a considerable political risk in doing that and that would indicate to me that he is interested in improving relations with russia so it's a credible a mixed bag we don't yet know how things will evolve i m

marking this day the 54th anniversary of the assassination of president john f. kennedy. and we quote, it wasn't the white house, it wasn't the state department. it wasn't father lavar's so-called people in china that got his son out of prezzen sentence. it was me, too bad. lavar is just a poor man's version of don king just without the hair. just think, lavar, you could have spent another five to ten years during thanksgiving with your son in china. remember shoplifting is not a little thing. it's a really big deal especially in china. ungrateful fool. speaking of sports, the president continued. "the nfl is now thinking of a new idea keeping teams in the locker room during the national anthem next season. that's almost as bad as kneeling.

looks like we lost john. as john gets back to us, we'll get back to you with john. standing by is judith miller. as you were saying. let's talk about the trade aspects of this. the president said we have to work on trade, and we have to work on military. one of the things he said is that he was going to watch japan or help japan in terms of influence and buy more military weaponry from the united states. i.e. the f-35 as well as missiles that could shoot down whatever kim jong-un was shooting into the air. what is your reaction to that? >> i think that's an important part of the trilateral alliance and an important part of the president's strategy is to make sure each country is doing what it can to defend itself. there was a reference to the 33,000 americans now in south korea and to. >> the 50,000 americans in japan. these are soldiers obviously. but it's quite clear when it comes to air defense, the president expects abe, prime minister abe, and he calls him shinzo, shinzo and donald. but he expects japan to do what it can to defend its own air space and provide

yeah it is the john oliver of a party america is going to say we are apparently better than that. and see people you never heard of love redacted the night president of the world bank very. seriously you sent us an e-mail. where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle candidate trump was criticised for not having a coherent understanding of global affairs indeed he largely dismissed the foreign policy elites a year after his election in since his inauguration is there such a thing as a trumpy in view of the international system. cross talking. the world according to trump i'm joined by my guest george samuel in new york he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london metropolitan university and author of the book bombs for peace in miami we have tied barry he is the washington d.c. coordinator for the woman led peace in social justice movement code pink and in berkeley we have john walsh he is a scientist peace activist and author of numerous anti-war publications are gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always apprecia

john, michael, david, thank you very much. i appreciate it. when we come back, a tale of two scandals. matt lauer fired within hours of after just one allegation of sexual harassment. president trump who has been accused by 13 women is a very different story. it's what's insiden't the person who opens it. give ancestrydna, the only dna test that can trace your origins to over 150 ethnic regions. save 30% for the holidays at ancestrydna.com. ayep, and my teeth are yellow.? time for whitestrips. crest glamorous white whitestrips are the only ada-accepted whitening strips proven to be safe and effective. and they whiten 25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life. cedric, i couldn't even bowl with my grandkids 'cause of the burning, shooting pain in my feet. i hear you, sam. cedric, i couldn't sleep at night because of my diabetic nerve pain. i hear you, claire, because my dad struggled with this pain. folks, don't wait. step on up and talk to your doctor. because the one thing i keep hearing is... i'

that's the way to go. >> dagen: john, privatize or not >> john: absolutely. gary b. has been on this, they've gone to 80% failure rate can you imagine any company surviving that when you fail it that often? yes you need to privatize it. i was in india when they had the terrorists bombings and privat ized security there and uniform and very strict but seamless as you go through it. the inconsistencies of tsa are absolutely appalling. i'm against a very broken system that needs to be taken out of government's hands. >> dagen: lee the tsa is implementing the ct scanners in some airports i think testing them in two so they are try to improve the bomb detection and weapon detection. >> lee: but they are but why shouldn't three do something more innovative or creative and that won't happen with just government so maybe they should consider doing partnership, if you look at disaster recovery there's partnerships with companies like toyota to make it more efficient and cut the recovery time in half. why doesn't the tsa look at alternatives and say let's make this more effici

for the pbs newshour, i'm john yang in alexandria, virginia. >> woodruff: thank you john. and to the analysis of shields and brooks. that's syndicated columnist mark shields and "new york times" columnist david brooks. gentlemen, thank you. so let's talk about virginia, mark. what does that race look like? >> well, the race on both sides, people are saying it's a 3, 4, 2-point lead. one republican said to me today, relieved that the president was out of the country because he was afraid that if he got word the race was that close, he would start tweeting and insert himself back into the race. but as we saw in john's piece, the president is very much a part of the piece. ed gillespie, a conventional republican, republican national committee staffer, became chair, became counselor to president george w. bush, have the lyrics to donald trump's score playbook but not the music. the latest period after john's wonderful piece was that they're now running on the football players kneeling at the national anthem and saying stand up for america, virginia. i'd say this, judy, if, in

john pedoris, prolific tweeter is here. heather mcgee, the president of demos action and john heilemann, national affairs analyst. my frequent sidekick. i guess not surprising anymore, but striking to see donald trump now pretty far apart from every other republican in washington. i believe maybe ted cruz and rand paul are the only two but every other republican has abandoned the if true, then. mitch mcconnell came out and said, i believe the women. there are now nine women who have accused roy moore of almost idental encounters from the way he stalked the women to the way the actual physical encounters went down. yet the president passing up an opportunity to lead his party to a less dark place and saying, let alabama decide. >> i think that you hit it exactly on the head there. it's because he has these looming allegations by over a dozen women. he has the "access hollywood" tape. he is sort of part of his brand is no apologies. women are things that, you know, are assets to be collected. and he understands it's off brand

i have a great marine who is chief of staff, as you know, john kelly. does an incredible job, like any marine would. to you and all the marines during this great work in delivering defeat after defeat isis.sis. -- we are being talked about again as an armed forces. we are really winning. we know how to win. they weren't letting you win before. there were letting you play even. we're letting you win. i want to say hello to the captain and all the sellers on board the uss monterey. monterey's primary missions include ballistic missile defense command i surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare. thank you, everyone on board the uss monterey for your dedication. thank you very much. we are joined by the 74th expeditionary fighter squad from incirlik airbase. your squadron has done a tremendous job, tremendous. and we appreciate it. cominght against isis is our way. coming our way. big, big difference. a lot of things have happened. they say we have made more progress against isis than they did in years of the previous administration, and that is because i

papa john's c.e.o. and osmond brother who can't sing, john schnatter. ( laughter ) ( applause blamed his company's declining sales on the n.f.l.'s national anthem protests, saying the controversy is polarizing the customer, polarizing the country. the n.f.l. has hurt papa john's shareholders. ( laughter ) yeah. people started throwing pizza shade at schnatter, including digiorno's, which posted tweets like, us: @papa john's let us know when you have new pizza, and pizza slice, upwards chart. them: pizza slice, downwards chart. damn! oh! that tweet's not delivery, it's duhevastating! ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) >> jon: i like that! yeah! >> stephen: by the way, this chart right here, this is how they explain economics to donald trump right there. ( laughter ) there hasn't been a digiorno burn that bad since every time a stoner forgot they put one in the oven. ( laughter ) pizza sales: alt-right white supremacists! who have claimed papa john's as their official pizza. ( audience re

the last word i'm going to give john the last word twenty five seconds my friend go ahead. well i would say that the whole that they achilles heel of trumps wish to to get along as he says with russia has always been iran i don't think that's possible if he if he turns around into into an enemy but that basic problem there is that trump skull like capitol hill is the israeli occupied territory so that's the problem that is the key problem i think right now in some sort of his stephen f. cohen thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember. to. apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million a one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy my great to want more chance with. and the next minute. live. live live live live . my. own welcome

david: john, what do you think? >> why would we allow the federal government to control who comes in in terms of human capital. we would recoil if the government presumed to say how many computers and what kind, how many cars and what kind, yet the most important source of economic growth as possible, human beings, we allow these people who comes in and out of this, get the federal government out of it. david: but, bill, it's a gift fob a u.s. citizen, to be allowed to live and work here and hopefully for them to become a citizen. the president keeps talking about this merit-based system as opposed to the diversity system, kind of an open lottery. wouldn't it be better to get people who have certain skills that we know would help our economy? >> you bet, david. we should have a merit system. a point scale with points awarded for being willing to work really, really hard or having advanced degrees and under my points system, people from mexico and china would get high scores. >> and rich, we know that this merit-base

i'm john king. thank you for sharing your day with us. nbc news fires matt lauer after he's accused of inappropriate sexual behavior. pressure mounts on the longest serving member of congress who faces multiple sexual harassment allegations. >> sexual harassment has no place in any workplace. let alone in the united states congress. >> i believe the women that have come out. and once that is analyzed by the ethics committee, if those are found to be true, he definitely should resign. >> plus, two days after insulting native americans, the president of the united states from the white house retweets anti-muslim videos posted by a far right british nationalist. >> i find it very disturbing. i have no way of explaining what on earth motivated it. >> and the senate republican tax plan clears a key committee vote, but there's still not enough votes for final passage. >> as it is with any major legislative undertaking like this, it's been a bumpy ride. we have till friday to stick the landing. >> we begin the hour with this, another man every a

jim, i want to bring in john and davis. john, as jim just said flynn has been under investigation lying of his russia contacts. that was before mueller was appointed special council. how will the two investigation over lap? >> if you look at manafort and you look at the parallels between the charges that manafort has and what theme we see here for flynn and flynn jr. , that's a problem. if you remember in the early days of this, the delay and firing flynn when they knew he had mislead the vice president of sanctions and how the president resisted the investigation talking to comey and makes you think that flynn is of concern to the president because he went out on a limb with comey and he fought with comey. it looks like flynn was his greatest concern. mueller would like to have flynn cooperate and put pressure on him. flynn is between a rock and a haf hard place. at some point flynn will be indicted and force to the point where they have to deal with the reality of being charged. if they don't cooperate, they'll keep ongoi

she would be like, "john, john, i never wanted to badmouth your father. no, because then it would ruin the moment when you figured out by yourself." [ laughter ] got to love that woman. >> seth: that's very nice. you have an aversion -- tell me about a thanksgiving with your family. what's that like? >> well, you know, everybody's always talking over each other, like three conversations, three threads and everybody's following it. and i have a hard time with thanksgiving, because i feel like a traitor when i sit down, because ever since i was a little boy, man, i always wished there had been some wise indian woman who said to her people before the pilgrims sat down, "don't feed them! if you feed them, they'll never leave!" [ laughter ] >> seth: right. >> and their food must've been that good. not like my mom's cooking. >> seth: not good? >> the pilgrims would've swam back without the goddamn mayflower. [ laughter ] seriously. because she -- my mom's been serving leftovers for 50 years. to this day, no one's ever found the original meal. [ laughter and app

>> you have two of the three, john. the third is the weaponization of those missiles, which we have to assume, since the north koreans were able to advance their missile technology and our intelligence community didn't miss that, but we miscalculated in terms of the accelerated pace, the ability to conduct nuclear tests. they've done six. i would anticipate a seventh before the olympics in february of 2018. and the third is the weaponization. i would assume they would be able to weaponize the numissile and miniaturize the nukes pretty quickly. i'm not sure what the president means when he says, we will handle it. diplomatic and economic sanction, diplomatic efforts and economic sanctions claerl have a long tail. it takes six, seven, eight, nine months, maybe a year, before you really start to see the results of a punishing economic sanctions. militarily, is the only way you're going to handle it in the near-term to eliminate the north having a nuclear capability, if that's the desired instinct. >> but that doesn't seem

taylor would be in the running he likes him too even though john taylor also a member of the fed is standing policy wise for the exact opposite off what's drawn powell and janet yellen have stood so for us so once again this is really a trump wolf this is not about policy he doesn't know much about it to begin with this is just to put his person in and surprise the world. last out of it thank you very much for those come and we stay in the us where facebook reported a massive seventy nine percent jump in profits on wednesday as it pushed further into video advertising facebook's total and revenue alone rose almost fifty percent to just over ten billion u.s. dollars still facebook is in the hot seat in the united states for the way it and the political ads align the spread of false news stories facebook said that russians bought thousands of u.s. political ads to spread fake news the social networking platform pledged to double its cyber security force in the future. electric car maker tesla is still having serious production problems and is booking record losses last quarter it was

john, look at this. for decades the hard-working americans have been ignored or forgotten from washington. but not anymore. this tax cut and jobs act bill is going to be the change of that. let me give you three points why. keep more of what they earn. if you're single, the first $12,000 is tax-free. if you're a couple, $24,000. the average family will save almost $1,200 more in their pockets. so the first $55,000 a family of four earns will not be taxed at all. second, what it does for small business, i created my first small business when i was 20. the lessons i learned, i was first to work, i was last to leave and last to be paid. it created more jobs than anything else. lowering it to 5% is the lowest since world war ii -- 25%. i was in the oval office just this week. this is going to make america competitive again. based upon our tax bill, this is a company who left america because the taxes came too high. they are now because of the tax bill moving back to america. that's $20 billion in revenue a y

no wonder john mccain said, this is not america first. really, this is putting russia first. >> what do you think? >> look, i think he's -- putin is a kgb guy. you should view him with a jaundiced eye. all leaders should view him with a jaundiced eye. i think it's a slight manipulation of his statement that he said he agreed with him. he said he believed what he was saying. this is trump's thing, he dances around things and says 14 different things when he should just say -- wait for it. he doesn't even have to agree with clapper. he can agree with mike pompeo, his own guy, and say i agree with the assessment russia is involved. i'm with trump on some of the idea overplaying the idea that $150,000 of facebook ads might have add in undermine american democracy. clapper has been proven to be unreliable narrator telling the u.s. senate about spying. don't talk about them overseas. admit russia did get involved, we to want stop it in the future and deal with that rather than dealing with the kgb guy. >> he didn't say he believed putin. he did

baron or john miller. all the better to call reporters and sing the praises of the donald. >>, you know, i thought it was kind of creative on his part. because he didn't have a big staff. he sort of made it look like his staff was bigger by having all these representatives and also he could say things about donald that would be outrageous if he were saying it about himself. >> why wouldn't someone like yourself run for political office? you have all the money that you possibly need. you've accomplished a great deal even though you are only 34. >> because i think it's a very mean life. i would love and i would dedicate my life to this country, but i see it as being a mean life. and i also see it that somebody with strong views and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right but maybe unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile. >> excuse me, where's the lobby? >> down the hall and to the l

and you have growing numbers of republicans like john mccain, mitt romney, john kasich, saying he should step aside. of course he should. >> roy moore is not going to step aside, though. he cannot be removed from the ballot. given these circumstances, do you think republicans in alabama should vote for do you go doug jones, the democratic candidate? >> jake, i think he should step aside. if not, maybe you could get a write-in candidate. lisa murkowski did it in alaska. i think she's urging somebody down there to do that. and, you know, i'm -- people of alabama have to figure it out. and i would hope that they would say, no, this is not acceptable. and maybe the party will do it. you know, pressure is mounting. we'll see what happens, jake. >> if he is elected, despite these allegations, do you think that the u.s. -- >> i can't tell you about the senate. i can't tell you about the senate, jake. that's up to them. there's growing numbers of senators that are deeply disturbed about this. the senate campaign committee has apparently cut off funding. let's not get out there. let's see if some

it was john brennan who infused the fusion dossier. a paid political hit piece and john brennan ought to be careful when talking about who has harmed the intelligence community. i can think of nothing worse than putting in disinformation -- piece of information that may have been funded by russia in part into the system. i mean, this is really, really crazy stuff. rob: chuck, the status of the investigation, you know, there has been some ties to it but they are not really getting a huge smoking gun at this point. do you think it's still coming or do you think that when you investigate an entire administration there's always going to be some kind of ties to anywhere, right? there's ties from the clintons to russia. >> let me give you the democratic view from the far left, i don't care who did what, whether it was hillary clinton or donald trump or whether it was the russians, whoever it was, let's get the facts and let's get it over this, the american people are sick of this. we have a lot of work in washington, d.c. to try to get the c

kushner then forwarded to another campaign official, john. >> donald trump jr. communicated with wikileaks. donald trump jr. e-mailed jared kushner, told him that he was communicating with wikileaks. jared kusher forwarded that e-mail on. then jared kushner testified he did not recall whether or not anyone in the campaign had communicated with wikileaks. so what is the kushner camp saying about this tonight? >> reporter: well, abbe lowell, kushner's attorney, calls this a, quote, classic gotcha question. he says, in part of his statement, in over six hours of voluntary testimony mr. kushner answered all questions put to him and demonstrated that there had been no collusion between the campaign and russia. and lowell, by the way, also disputes the judiciary committee's letter accusing kushner of not turning over documents and he also says that the judicial committee should ask other congressional of committees for the transcripts of kushners interviews with those committees and they should ask the white house for documents that exist after donald trump was inaugu

i don't think you'll see us interest in going above 20%: so, i think at the end of the day, john, what we're interested in is the best tax bill that can pass. if a good tax bilk pass with that obama mandate, great. if it needs to come out in order for that good tax bill to pass, we can live with that as well. >> dickerson: let me look at those two things, middle class tax cut and corporate tax. there's no question as you've said the president wants it at 20. nobody ever doubted whether corporations will get that reduction to 20 really in all the conversation i've seen. in the middle class it's fuzzier, used to be that they would say everybody in the middle class get a tax cut. now the joint committee shown that 24 1/4 million because. sunset provision, they're not going to get tax cut. taxes are going to go up. it seems when you look at the way this is played out corporations are so solid, nobody saying they're not going to get what they're going to get. the middle class is not so solid. it's awfully fuzzy. isn't that the reverse of what elected donald trump? >> i think what you're see

i want to bring in joe madison, the host of the joe madison show, john fredericks, former co-chair of the trump campaign in virginia, they are radio guys. their ears are to the ground, joe, you first. good evening by the way to both of you. >> good evening. >> the president returned from his -- trip overseas and then he comes back to this. >>> well, what i think is he's going to have to speak out on the moore issue, much the same way he spoke out on the al franken issue. but let me simply tell you, because you always ask what our listeners and callers think. they think that, quite candidly, donald trump doesn't have the moral authority to say anything about judge moore. and your opening this evening was -- is going to be to do der for us at least on my show monday. what was it, 12, 13 women? >> 13. >> my goodness. and, you know, you just can't say all 13 women are lying and then that clip you just played, if you notice, she never answered the question. let me finish this way. here is also what i think. al franken has said, you know what? i'm sorry. i'm guilty. the pictures speak for t

john olver, and keegan michael keye. >>> papa johns not doing so well. the nfl not being able to resolve the controversy surrounding national anthem protests has hurt their bottom line. poppa john's has been the nfl's official pizza sponsor, and have been since 2010. or maybe they just want to try something different. >>> we asked you a bit ago, 5,001 times, 5,002 now. should employers give non- smokers extra days off of work? >> 73% of you say, yes. 27% of you say no. keep voting. keep weighing in. we'll hop on social media, and holler at you. >>> there's a familiar fa coming back to cbs tonight. shamar moore stars in a new drama. he's going to talk about what he wants you to get out of the show. >> and young sheldon is also back tonight. the child star wh >>> guess whose back on cbs? actor shamar moore. this time in s.w.a.t., debuting tonight. inspired by its '70's namesake, he says the show will take on real issues. >> what we hope to showcase is there are good and bad cops, and also good and bad civilians. can a television show fix that divide? not s

al over and john stewart and me all have in common? we are all inductees into a very special hall of fame thanks to stephen colbert. >> this is an incredible honor to be inducted into the trump attacked me into twitter hall of fame. it's my first hall of fame. it's the one that matters to me the most. this tweet that got me in the hall of fame is 2011. it's really shortly after donald trump first started talking about president obama's birth certificate, every word of which of course is a lie. so that's what i said on tv, on my show. which provoked. i heard lawrence made many false statements last night about me. maybe i should sue um. i wasn't expecting this. this is just a surprise and a joy and an honor, and i've never won anything since the last "west wing" emmy. nominated for some stuff, but -- it's the one i can really treasure since that last emmy, which is now going to be blocked by this in the display case, which is fine, because it's ol now. it's turning colors. this is a beautiful thing and a great honor, thank you very much

presenter john up like this not being able to blend in and i was. taking a holiday group and being you know different than the way. she travelled across germany to meet other black people and to hear their stories. so it seemed that. i grew up in a white family in a white neighborhood it was definitely a challenge. she decided to put me up for adoption. so the main thing was to keep your head down and your mouth shut of course of the face like this i could never completely disappear if you see all these stereotypes about africa it's good to see you. do something for your country but you're still the black guy with an. afro germany starting december to.

john do these protests do more to hurt the cause? >> john: they do because forget about whether the cause is good or bad. i agree with a lot of what they're protesting but the problem is this we have this year in the united states 7600 retail stores closing compare that to 6800 that close at the height of the recession. you're protesting these retail stores in chicago and chicago's tax base has been eroded. all you're going to do is drive people to buy more stuff online or to not shop. the problem you have in chicago right now specifically with the police department, with social services, is politicians. that you should be protesting. you have $62 billion in unfunded pension and debt obligations into the city of chicago only $ 0.33 out of every dollar promised by these politicians who knew they couldn't pay for it is funded right now and to go out there and to hurt retail, you're hurting your own city by doing this and yes, i think the cause is lost. >> dagen: patrice do these protests help or hurt their cause because they do have th

i am poppy harlow. >> i am john berman. the news this morning, the attorney general is considering the special counsel to vest tkpwaeu investigate hillary clinton. just minutes from now attorney general jeff sessions sits before the house judiciary committee. democrats promise tough questions about why sessions keeps denying the trump campaign had contacts with russia, despite the two campaign advisers told sessions they did. >> then the revelation overnight the justice department says sessions asked prosecutors to examine whether or not to name a special counsel surrounding hillary clinton, something that the president has openly campaigned for for a long time on twitter and elsewhere. wait, there's more. this news out just hours after we learned donald trump jr. exchanged messages with wikileaks around the time that wikileaks was posting those hacked e-mails from democrats and clinton campaign officials. we have a lot to cover. let's begin this morning with our justice correspondent. evan, he's going to sit there and take

john. please stop. the question was a new "washington post"/abc poll shows nearly half of americans president trump likely committed a crime in connection with russia's election meddling. the president has been trying to deflect and distract attention. but i'm wondering if he's failing to convince americans there is nothing there. that's the question. >> the same polls that predicted that hillary clinton would win in a landslide are now saying this. it's all nonsense. fake news. fake polls. there is don and joe, i know you're going to be really disappointed. there is -- >> i'm not disappointed. i'm just asking you the question. you're answering it. >> i'm answering it. paul manafort and rick gates are bad guys. they're bad guys. the biggest mistake that donald trump made had nothing to do with russian collusion or breaking the law. it was hiring paul manafort. >> and papadopoulos? >> this was a disastrous decision -- papadopoulos is a volunteer. let me tell you about papadopoulos. he came in -- >> and f

john conyers is an icon in this country. as he reviews his case, which he knows, i don't -- >> how could you -- >> may i finish? that he will do the right thing. >> nancy pelosi on the allegations of sexual harassment against democratic congressman john conyers. joining me now, democratic congressman. dan killdy, a member of the house financial services committee. good to see you. the "detroit free press" calling on john conyers to resign. what is your view on that? how do you think the allegations against your fellow michigan congressman should be handled? >> first of all, i would say this is a very serious situation and has to be take within that kind of seriousness and i think representative conyers will have a decision to make. i think the important thing that we do is get the facts, allow ourself to take a look at the facts in the light of day and make a determination as to whether or not congress or our caucus should take some action. but ultimately, i think this is also a situation where congressman conyers is going t

more pressure on congressman john conyers to get out. whs, this is whistleblowers. this is the final five, let's do this. it was a pretty good run after a if you months without missile lawn 's. a missile tested for the first time since november. it traveled 100 miles before splashing into the sea. the president says don't only tell you that we will take care of it. we have general mattis in the room with us. we've had a long discussion on it. it is a discussion that situation that we will handle. the way he's talking the president may have called in one of washington's best fixer. it's handled. thank you, olivia pope. >> the new president trump loves candle. he has spoken with south korean moon jie and. this is the 16th missile test for north korea this year or as the kids say no could he. with each test the north is getting closer to perfecting the nuclear war head into high temperature erythropoietin's atmosphere. it went higher frankly than any previous shot they've taken. it's a research and development effort on their part to to develop ballistic missiles that

john roberts starts us off with this report. >> do you want rex tillerson on the job? >> meeting with the crown prince of bahrain, president trump gave secretary of state rex tillerson a lesson ringing endorsement. sources inside and outside the administration tell fox news plans are being made for possible departure of tillerson that could happen in late january. the most likely scenario to replace him, elevate cia director mike pompeo to secretary of state and replaced pompeo with arkansas senator tom cotton has been one of the president's most reliable supporters on capitol hill. the white house and state department pushed back at the notion that tillerson was being forced out. >> >> chief of staff kelly calld our department this morning and said the rumors are not true. >> in a statement, white house press secretary sarah sanders was somewhat ambiguous, saying "as the president just said, rex is here. there are no personnel announcements at this time." >> and the president loses confidence in someone, they will no longer be here. >> questions continue to swirl. pre

joining me now, jay newton small and john nichols. the surest way to keep moore out of the senate is by electing his opponent. the latest poll seemed to favor doug jones at the moment, but conventional wisdom on the race right now reads how? >> well, the conventional wisdom in alabama, and i've covered a few races in alabama, is the polls are never exactly accurate. and especially in a situation like this, which is very fluid where you have new revelations coming. where things that people might have initially questioned now start to look more and more serious. i think there is a movement toward doug jones, but i would be cautious about suggesting that he is so far ahead that you can say for sure he's going to win. what i would kind of counsel at this point is that there is still a lot of efforts by prominent republicans in washington to come up with schemes to avoid saying vote for the democrat, and that is to have luther strange step down and force a new process. there was talk of having the governor shift the date of the election. t

intelligence committee and his -- former cia director john brennan says the president has showed he can be played by putin and other foreign leaders who appeal to his ego and his insecurities. >>> i'll speak with democratic senator chris coons of the judiciary and foreign relations committees and our correspondents, specialists and guests, they're all standing by with full coverage. >>> let's begin with the breaking news. now a fifth woman has accused alabama senate candidate roy moore of sexual misconduct, offering a harrowing allegation of an assault she says took mace decades ago when she was just a young teenager. there are now growing calls within the republican party for moore to drop out of the race. let's go straight to cnn's senior national correspondent kyung lah. she's judge us from people. kyung, take us through the allegation and the response. >> reporter: it is stunning in the detail of the allegations that happened some 40 years ago, wolf. this is a woman who laid out these allegations in a televised news conference, appearing on camera. she says that she began flirting w

gregg: john solomon of the hill * uncovered the document. it is a crime to mishandle classified documents through gross negligence. comey wrote out a letter of exoneration of hillary clinton in which he crossed out the words gross negligence and substituted extreme carelessness. those terms are i man us in under the law. comey appears to not understood that. this seems to be evidence that he was trying to absolve hillary clinton and con injured up an excuse to protect her. if he did that. he needs to be put under oath and explain why he did that, why did he change the language. did he do it for political reasons. was he pressures by loretta lynch or others to absolve and clear hillary clinton. if the answer is yes, that would be obstruction of justice. judge jeanine: when you put that alongside the fact that this exoneration draft memo was written 6, 7 weeks before 17 witnesses before the target hillary was even interviewed. that's further corroborating circumstantial evidence that intent of james comey was to protect hillary clinton. i hear

kushner then forwarded to another campaign official, john. >> donald trump jr. communicated with wikileaks, e-mails jared kushner, he forwarded that e-mail on and then jared kushner testified he didn't recall whether anyone in the campaign communicated with wikileaks. so what is the kushner camp saying about this tonight? >> his attorney calls this a classic gotcha question. he said in over six hours of testimony -- he disputes the judiciary committee's letter of not turning over documents and says the committee should turn over transcripts of interviews with those committees and they should ask the white house for documents that exist after donald trump was inaugurated because they say kushner has no authorizations to release those documents. >>> so now that the other shoe has dropped, some perspective is like a giant hiking boot for a ballet slip in what might come next. next the panel. jeffrey, i want you to go first. how big of a problem? >> can we just say that donald trump jr. and jared kushner have become the poster children for the evils of nepotism? the
