welcome back. breaking news, top of the hour. just a few hours left about alabamans vote. roy moore denies allegations of sexual abuse. more voters heard from steve bannon tonight. charles barkley weighed in for doug jones at a rally there. we want to go to katelynn first.

steve bannon just spoke at the rally. what was his final message for moore supporters? >> well, anderson, steve bannon has been one of roy moore's longest and most ardent supporters in this race, even sticking by him despite those allegations and he was at his last public event last week and tonight he was attempting to fire up the crowd to get out and vote tomorrow. steve bannon, who is from virginia was telling this crowd here in alabama tonight not to let someone outside of the state attempt to sway their vote, but he got the biggest cheers of the night when he brought up the republican establishment in washington. >> to mitch mcconnell and senator shelby and -- [ crowd boos ] -- and conde rice and all that

little bobby corker, all that establishment up there, all that establishment up there every day that doesn't have trump's back. you know they don't have his back at all. what they want him for is that corporate tax cut. as soon as they get that tax cut, you watch what happens. there's a special place in hell for republicans who should know better. >> reporter: now steve bannon seemed to be taking a direct shot at ivanka trump there. who as you know when the allegations against roy moore first came out said "people who prey on children deserve a special place in hell." >> so roy moore hasn't been out on the campaign trail since last tuesday. i don't know if that's a sign of feeling really good or just

wanting to avoid mistakes. >> reporter: it seems to be a level of confidence. unlike document jones, they have not been going door to door and meeting with supporters and knocking on doors. they've done zero public events since last tuesday, which is highly unusual, especially the days leading up to an election which is highly contested. the jones campaign released numbers today saying they've done hundreds of events in the last two months and knocked on 80,000 doors this weekend alone. for now the moore campaign strategy seems to be laying low and letting president trump do the talking here in alabama. >> alex, what was doug jones' closing message tonight? >> well, the jones campaign tactic has been exactly the opposite. as kaitlan has been mentioning, the rally could be boiled down

to four words, "get out the vote." he needs every vote he can get. there the reason so many democrats across the country are excited about this election is it's the best chance they have for a democrat to represent al pal -- alabama in a quarter century. he afraid it also as wanting alabama to be on the right side of history, and that was a reference to the moment that this country's experiencing, the #metoo movement, which roy moore has featured in prominently. this notion that alabama has been embarrassed by roy moore over the past 40 years with all the controversy swirling around him. in particular in light of these allegations of sexual misconduct and child molestation. during the speech jones also took aim at the supporters of roy moore, including here in alabama are essentially

choosing a child molester over a democrat. here's what he had to say. >> we have heard so many people that have decided, you know what, i'm not going to worry about the fact that roy moore's been kicked out of office twice. i'm not going to worry about the fact that he took money from a charity. and you know what? i believe those women. but my party is more important. folks, it is time, and i think we're going to see it tomorrow, that the majority of the people of alabama say that it is time that we put our decency, our state, before political party. [ cheers ] >> like the moore campaign, the jones campaign is also feeling very confident. they have a pep in their step after this weekend of getting out the vote. this was always going to be a very tight race, but especially in the wake of these allegations it's extremely competitive,

anderson. i was speak with a campaign official who said their internal polling indicates they have the lead but they're taking nothing for granted, calling on their supporters to go out and vote tomorrow. >> they may think they have the lead in internal polls, but it's possible people say one thing to pollsters and do something else in the ballot booth. >> absolutely. polling is notoriously difficult here. there are a lot of people -- the senior campaign official today told me african-americans who will be so crucial to this election aren't keen to tell apost pollsters what they're thinking. the jones campaign knows there are a lot of votes out there for the taking. they've been going after moderate republicans, specifically women who could have been turned off by these allegations against roy moore as well as that all-important prim community. >> i want to bring in our panel.

gloria borger, robby mook. impossible to call at this point, but you couldn't have more starkly different choices here. >> no, you couldn't. in a way this is so much bigger than just one senate race in the state of alabama. because you see with bannon tonight, this is about a republican party that's been torn apart. you have bannon and donald trump on one side, mitch mcconnell, who says this guy's going to be brought before the ethics committee the day he gets there, and even the republican shelby saying write in a candidate, he says i couldn't vote for this guy. you have a party that's split, the democrats clearly trying to take advantage saying this is about values, allowing the democrats to talk about these values for which their party

stands trying to keep those women voters and republicans saying this is about draining the swamp and getting rid of all of that in washington that we hate. of course, in the end, control of the senate, actually could hang in the balance. >> what's your take? >> this is bad for republicans no matter what. it's just bad no matter what. if they lose this election, it's going to be like scott brown in 2009, the stench of death is going to get stronger. if they win the special election, roy moore's going to be sitting with them in the senate. this is a no-win. i don't know how this is going to go, nobody does. my hope is that everybody in alabama participates in this. i don't see how republicans benefit from this. >> jack, do you agree it's bad for republicans either way? >> it's kind of a win-win or a

lose-lose. either way, i think the republican party -- i don't want to debate that. i think robby makes a strong point. one point is philosophy. jones is out of step philosophically. in the republican runoff, in the runoff which is really a lower turnout, 481,000 votes, and the primary, 165,000 votes. a lot of luther strange folks are going to vote for third parties. >> i think it's illuminated a considerable problem. what philosophy is that exactly? is the republican party now aligning itself with someone who

believes life was better with families under slavery? that believes that everything after the 10th amendment is no good, bad for the country? which includes the equal rights amendment, women's right to vote. everyone knows the importance of the amendments after the 10th amendment. which is it? is the the fact that he doesn't uphold the law? republicans used to talking about activist judges, we don't like these liberal activist judges. but roy moore made a career of being an activist judge from the bench, deciding not to follow the supreme court. where does that square with republican philosophy. >> this guy is problematic all the way around and he represents a fringe element of the republican party in alabama. and it's become more us versus them than a political battle.

it's about identity. they're not talking about issues and legislating. they're talking about our identity as christians, an attack on the faith, an attack on establishment. it's like a cultish kind of us versus them that is disturbing because it's staining the republican brand. >> you just heard steve bannon and he doesn't care about the establishment republican party. in fact, he wants to tear it apart and he's using roy moore. you see establishment republican capitulate to this because they're looking for votes for health care, to repeal obamacare, to pass the tax cuts, to deal with immigration issues and to confirm judges, and that's so important to what's going on in washington in this go along to get along politics that are going on. >> going after jeff sessions and mitch mcconnell, all of whom --

i understand why they don't like them, but they are executing the president's agenda probably more efficiently than anyone else. jeff sessions is making big changes at the can department of justice that isn't making the nightly news. >> but in doing that he's putting himself on the side of donald trump because donald trump doesn't like mitch mcconnell and jeff sessions, period. he's aligning himself with the president. this isn't the fringe. this is the republican party. because donald trump is an 80% popularity with republicans. so bannon is aligning himself with donald trump because he wants to take over the republican party. >> donald trump got elected in places like pennsylvania with hard-working democrats who are out of work. and that's who steve bannon is trying to appeal to here. >> the fringe i was referring to are people that are excusing the awful behavior of roy moore and

subscribing to his philosophy. i don't think that part represents the majority of the republican party. in alabama it's a fringe element because of how extreme roy moore s. he was unfit before the sexual misconduct allegations. >> on cnn today lindsey graham said he wouldn't rule out trying to expel roy moore. do you believe republicans would follow through on that? >> no, i don't think they have the backbone to that that. >> i don't think the democrats do. >> it's going to be tough. >> i don't think they have a case. frankly, they don't have the case against al franken. but he could very easily switched parties and become an independent and say, you know what works you guys turn your back on me, i'm still elected u.s. senator. >> it gives congress a role in setting policy how they expel,

and the grounds for that expulsion proceeding. to date they have not taken on a proceeding when it's been conduct that's happened before -- at before -- >> 2006. remember all the scandals and all the republicans had time to do was talking about how they were treating their colleagues. you have an unpopular president, congress isn't getting anything done, in the this is the why this is headed to a bad place. we'll continue the conversation just ahead. the inside story that's getting so much attention not just for the dozen diet coax the president reportedly drinks or all the cable tv he watches, but for everything else it says about this president.

"washington post" reporter made a mistake in a tweet friday and apologized personally to the president. brian ross got a story wrong and his network suspended him. president believes these mistakes are something more. >> i would say, sir, that journalists make honest mistakes and that doesn't make them fake news. >> when journalists making

mistakes, they should own up to them. >> we do. >> sometimes. there's a -- i'm sorry. i'm not finished. there's a big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the american people, something that happens regularly. you can't say -- i'm not done. you cannot say -- >> that was completely fake, sarah, and he admitted it. >> that it's an honest mistake when you're purposefully putting out information you know to be false or taking information that hasn't been validated or offered any credibility and has been denied by people including people with direct knowledge. this is something -- i'm speaking about the number of reports that have contain place turnover last couple weeks. i'm simply stating that there should be a certain level of responsibility in that process. >> this is not the line of questioning that i was going down, but can you cite a

specific story you say is intentional false and put out there to mislead the american people? >> sure the answer report by brian ross, i think that was pretty misleading to the american people, and i think that is very telling that person had to be suspended, it shows the network took it seriously and recognized that it was a problem. jim? >> i was going to ask a question about something else zplu used it on something else. >> if i may -- >> not today. i'm going to keep moving, guys. >> if i could ask about the accusations -- >> i'm sorry. >> i know, but i need a chance to ask the question i wanted to ask, which is -- >> jim -- >> can you say once and for all. >> i'm moving on to jim and i'm not taking another question you from at this point. >> is it clear to you, gloria, how sarah sanders has any credibility when it comes to lecturing news organizations --

cnn apologized and they tried to correct it as soon as possible. this white house i have not heard this white house admitting a mistake at all. in fact, i mean, i remember early on a number of stories. the early briefing by intelligence leaders of the president or the president-elect about the existence of this dossier, a story cnn broke which they were calling fake news and went off on this thing and never admitted actually they were wrong. >> and how about the size of the inaugural crowd on day one? >> or the millions of illegal immigrants voting. >> exactly. i think that it flows from the top down. this is a president who doesn't admit mistakes ever, doesn't apologize ever. this is something that we in our profession take seriously. >> he did apologize for the "access hollywood" tape. >> that was the one time, you're absolutely right.

and i think that for sarah huckabee sanders to say that we as journalists go out there and intentional mislead people is not understanding what we try to do. >> even from a business -- if you don't believe ethically that would not be something we would want to do or ever do just from a business standpoint. that is not a good business model. >> breitbart.com. i think some people who claim to purvey news are lying. i completely agree with you. the idea that the white house has any sort of high ground on telling the truth is absurd. i do feel for journalists these days things are getting broken so quickly all the time, some people do rush too quick. and i actually admire this week people were held to account for that. but i think this is part of a pattern by the president. we saw this with steve bannon. they always have to undermine everything. they point at something, get you

to hate it so they can always be fighting the power structure, always but in opposition because the president will not take responsibility for his job or getting anything done. >> and the presa -- presa good enemy to have. >> do you think they made a mistake from that podium. >> i don't think they have. one of the frustrations this white house has -- and i suppose any white house does, is that the press won't cover some of the good news that's out there. the isis earth territory that's in good hans, that's a big story. i'm not saying cnn, i'm talking about in general. the lowest unemployment rate in 17 years is a huge story. the economy, five trillion new dollars injected into the economy through growth in the stock market, investments, consumer optimism at an all-time

high, or illegal immigration going down, those are good stories. and i think this discussion for our society is a good one because i think that as society has found itself in the bunkers, you can follow whoever you want to on twitter and quit following them. i think that the press has sort of reflected that. we can all go to a particular area that we like to be with in terms of what news we're going to read, and i think it's not something -- it's all of us and we all share in it. >> let's be honest here. this is a specific tactic that donald trump is using to undermine the most important mechanism to hold him accountable which is the fourth estate, the media, the free press. when you undermine the credibility of the most important mechanism to hold public officials accountable and you create this feeling that it's a fake news, it's not real, that they're out to get us, you

can't believe them, it inknock lates him with any accountability so when he uses propaganda tactics, and then he goes out there and says things that are blatantly untrue or can't be verified, then he can turn around and say it's fake news. to watch sarah sanders with that level of ricghteous indignation when this white house and president of the united states intentional lies about things all the time. the reason, jack, the white house doesn't get the positive news coverage they d'oeuvre, is the president undercuts his own message almost every day. instead of talking about how greet the economy is and everything. he tweeting attacking don lemon or "the new york times" or tweeting out fake news attacking

muslim videos and he never apologized for that, every day. >> it's still very true we have -- >> you remember all those weeks where there was infrastructure week and every time the president would start the week, go off on some other tangent and avoid what was supposed to be the message. >> because he doesn't care. he has no impulse control. >> i think jack's right, it's as consumers who are driving this. we don't support enough news that really informs us. >> i totally agree with that. >> the tax bill is a perfect example. the president is in large part to blame. he is the one who distracts us, absolutely. >> you talked about -- you and i agree on a lot of things. you talked about breitbart. breitbart clearly has its own agenda. the left-leaning media does the same thing. and a lot of times the

mainstream media picks up on it without questioning it, runs a story, and gets themselves in trouble because they're in a rush. >> i wouldn't compare breitbart to anything on the left. it's not a hateful news organization. it doesn't -- >> you didn't have to sit in the white house. >> it doesn't teach people to hate other people for being born gay or a person of color. i'm sorry. it is a fundamental difference. i get right, left, all that's true. but not hate. >> i probably read more "huffington post" than you do, and i'm disgusted by their bias. >> it is a left-leaning outlet. i draw the line at hate. and breitbart pedals haight other people and it's unacceptable. >> donald trump needs someone to fight all the time, whether it's hillary clinton -- this is how he defines himself by his enemies. whether it's hillary clinton or the fake news media or naming

journalists. he just cannot survive. there's no oxygen for him unless he's in the center of the ring. and so sometimes it's the press, even when when he say we made a mistake. >> when we come back, the latest statements from judge roy moore surfaced over the weekend, comments from 2007 saying eliminating every amendment after the 10th would help government function. his campaign is saying he doesn't actually believe that he wants to eliminate all those amendments. we'll hear from cornell professor next. well jd power did just rank them highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms... again. and online equity trades are only $4.95... i mean you can't have low cost and be full service. it's impossible. it's like having your cake and eating it too. ask your broker if they offer award-winning full service and low costs. how am i going to explain this? if you don't like their answer,

find your awesome, and change the way you wifi. even before allegations of sexual assault came to light, judge roy moore already held a lot of controversial positions. this weekend other come to light when poor appeared on a conspiracy-driven radio slow saying getting rid of all constitutional amendments after the 10th would eliminate problems with the way the government is structured. that would include the 13th amendment which outlawed slavery and the 19th that gave women the right to vote. earlier i spoke with a professor at harvard divinity school. here's that conversation. >> dr. west these comments from roy moore in 2011, the idea

refuse eliminate interesting amendments after the 10th amendment, is that an appropriate position for a guy are who wants to become a senator? >> i think we see very clearly the combination of the wheel of stupidity and the will to dominate on the other. that's what white supremacist and male supremacy come together. you get persons who want to go back to a white supremacy, male supremacy civilization. we know 13th and 14th amendment had to do with abolishing saver and surveys. he wants to live in a civilization where what is normal is based on lies and what is natural is based on domination. it's a very sad affair, but important to know, my deer brother cooper is that we don't want to isolate roy moore, that he does represent a significant slice that's growing in this

society. knees a neofascists, cold hearted indifference and we encourage and reward that callousness too often. >> you don't want to isolate. it does seem like we're living in this age of tribalism in politics, of people retreating to their sides pretending what's being said is completely fake. even if believing this pepper i'm supporting is not a great person, they're part of my tribe and i'm going to support them. >> and it comes from the top. it comes from the top. you got the white house reinforcing this kind of callousness and indifference, this misogyny. the rule of big money and big military. and so i think the important thing to recognize there is a

sense in which, sadly, roy moore, donald trump are as american as apple pie, but martin luther king jr. is as american as apple pie. so is the coudorothy day. spiritual is losing out, but we shall bounce back. >> i want to ask you about that. just last week, former president obama talked about referencing prenazi germany saying we're in this nice hall, there's art on the wall, you can't imagine things can go background, but look at what happened in germany. i'm paraphrasing what he said, obviously. do you believe we are at a point in history that is that dangerous? >> absolutely. >> the potential of going

backgrou backward? >> adolf hitler, organics thug that he was, he came from decadent deterioration. the levels of dekay and deck dance of spiritual blackout, of meltdown, unbelievable, and the only response we have is to fight back with a sense of morality, spirituality, integrity, and decency. >> dr. cornell west, thanks for being with us. >> thank you, my brother. a behind-the-scenes look inside the white house and the way president trump made it unique as the president kwukcons an hour-by-hour self-preservation next.

do you think he actually believes it. >> i think the tv piece is silly. there's not a white house staffer that doesn't have the tv on the entire day you're there. >> but he tweets about stuff that's just aired. >> that means it's on while he's doing work. there's not a person that doesn't have that going. we're talking about how many diet cokes when someone bombed in new york today? >> the president is the master of his own future here. >> i just want to get on record he's drinking georgia product. >> as someone who's weaning themselves off diet coke, 12 diet cokes is a lot. >> here's my question. his health report is supposed to come out.

i'm fascinated to see what happens. i don't see how this man is healthy. >> i want to know how much caffeine is in those diet coax because that what i why he gets five hours of sleep a night. >> he's never gotten a good night of sleep. you worked in the white house. in the "times" piece, i'm wondering the overall at the nor, did you feel it was accurate, what do you think? >> i thought it was not surprising for the most part. i think most of it was accurate, the fact that he drinks a lot of diet cokes who cares. we all know he uses twitter to drive his message. what's news about this? >> what about the fact he doesn't mowsy down to do work until 9:00 or 9:30? president bush was up at 5:00 and working out and he had intelligence briefings.

he's working propped up on his pillow watching "fox and friends." >> i don't know of a president who's worked harder, i really don't. >> on his golf game? >> every venue is his office. >> but that's what every president -- he has played a lot of golf for somebody -- and i only bring this up because on the campaign trail he repeatedly talked about how he would never play golf and he was going to be too busy. >> when he's playing golf or in mar-a-lago, the guests he's with they're all orchestrated to a purpose. >> tiger woods. >> i agree with all that, but here's the big problem. it's not about getting things done or helping other people or advancing other people. it's about him. i thought that quote was brilliant. every day he's advantage

quishi >> and you cannot do it. because you have to be responsible not only to the american people, but to members of congress. you can't fire members of congress. so he's had a hard time because his nature is authoritarian. he wants to be the ceo of the country, but he can't just give orders and say, the health care bill, let's pass that. he can't do it and he's frustrated by it. that's why he's frustrated with the press as i can tell you one senior chairman the other day i was talking to him, and he said, you know, trump is 21% in my district above everybody else, above me. >> so he can fire the congressman? >> the point is he's enormously popular with republican-based voters. i think it's good that the epa

director is doing what he's doing. are the other cabinet members -- he's putting out there that they're they're supposed to do less regulation, keystone pipeline, we don't talk about that. obama fought it for eight years and now it was approved in nebraska the other day, and we were talking about something that was the equivalent of that. again, unemployment, 17-year low. >> we get all that, but the president doesn't understand the confines and the limitations of the presidency and how to utilize those things to get his message out and fouchb policy. he's so uninterested in actually governing. that's why this is a problem. so what if he's 21%? >> the economy is doing great. if obama had this economy, hillary would be president.

>> if he would stop worrying about his personal brand -- >> i think you have a serious russia investigation grog in this country about the russians hacking into an american election, and you have a president who says that it is a witch-hunt and that the democrats are only doing it because they can't get over the fact that they lost. i think that that is a serious issue in this country to which all of us should pay attention including the president. i think you're right, jack, give the president all the kudos on keeping the economy humming. i might ask why you need a tax cut at this particular time, but there are serious issues that confront this president, and that preoccupy him, by the way, russia is one of them, that need to be talked about. i do think -- >> yet here we are talking about donald trump and his habits. it is amazing. >> this is the way it was.

and robby, you know well. during the campaign hillary would make a big announcement about the economy, nobody would care because it would be about something donald trump -- think of north korea. he's engaged in that. he's been very engaged in getting the u.n. and china involved. >> but he's not selling that. you are. but he's not. >> rocket man comments, this is another example where he continually undermines his own progress with these seemingly uncontrolled tweets. i don't think that was strong dloems. >> he's playing a character on tv. she was a reality show character before. coming up, how alabama voters view if sexual assault allegations against roy moore. also whether the comments he made on other issues will affect their vote tomorrow. we'll be right back. uganda, what are you up to? that's a real silverback gorilla.

our breaking news. alabama u.s. senate candidates roy moore and doug jones each holding their last campaign rallies tonight. tomorrow is voting day. for weeks, republican roy moore has face allegations of sexual assault, dating back decades. he has denied the allegations. there are also several controversial comments he's made about gay and lesbian people, transgender people, slaves and obama. here is what gary tuchman found out. >> reporter: the tiny community of galant, alabama, is where roy moore lives. jet pack is a nearby gas station and convenience store. are you concerned about the allegations against him? >> no. >> how come? >> because i'm sure probably more than half of this world has done something inappropriate some the time. god forgives everybody. >> reporter: roy moore is popular here in galant, as well as nearby gadston, the larger city where he was born and

served as an assistant district attorney. >> i'm voting roy moore, 100%. >> reporter: okay. why do you like roy moore so much? >> i think he's an incredible christian man. >> reporter: but his popularity here doesn't mean that his supporters aren't doing some rationalizing. tell me why you like roy moore? >> well, i don't want to see a democrat get it. that's really the only reason. >> reporter: what do you think of the allegations against him? >> well -- >> reporter: do they trouble you? >> yeah. they do trouble me. >> reporter: but you're still going to vote for him? >> i'm still going to vote for him. >> reporter: because it's more important to not have a democrat there? >> i think so. i really think so. >> reporter: lost in much of the discussion of the sexual assault allegations against roy moore and his denials are controversial statements he's made in his past. we asked a mother and daughter about that. the mother voting for moore, the daughter not. roy moore said on a radio interview years ago, and he's never taken this back, that homosexual conduct should be illegal. when you hear that, as the man

who you're going to be voting for, does that trouble you? >> i honestly agree. homosexuality is biblically wrong. it is wrong. but i know people who are gay. >> reporter: he said it should be illegal, though. do you feel that way? >> i can't answer that. >> reporter: but if you could pass the laws, would you agree with him, that it should be illegal? >> i don't think i would take a position on that. >> reporter: what about you? >> no. >> reporter: as the daughter. >> it should not be illegal. >> reporter: as recently as last year, judge moore continued to stand by previous statements that barack obama is not a natural-born citizen. this husband and wife are voting for moore. how do you feel that he's still saying that barack obama wasn't born in this country? >> i don't -- i don't even think -- i guess it never crosses my mind. i think politicians say things all the time that are controversial. and i wouldn't recommend saying that, because i find it hurtful or it goes against our country. >> reporter: and then there is

this statement. roy moore said earlier this year during a campaign event, when asked when america was last great, "i think it was great at the time when families were united, even though we had slavery," referring to the mid-1800s. how does that make you feel? >> very sad. you know, i'll be honest, yeah, that's, that's disappointing. you know. for him to feel that -- i mean, to sea something like must have been something that was instilled in him. >> reporter: this voter, tim burnett, is not voting for roy moore, but most of the people we talked with in his home county said they will, no matter what comment he's made or no matter the assault allegations against him. >> i'd have -- i didn't see it with my own eyes. until i see it with my own eyes, i don't believe anything. >> reporte >> gary joins us now. so the people you read roy moore's more controversial statements to, had they heard them before? >> reporter: for the most part, anderson, the people we talked to weren't familiar with the exact quotes, but nobody we talked to was surprised or

shocked. they know roy moore's reputation. that being said, if roy moore wins this election and is in the u.s. senate, his words will be scrutinized much more closely, not just here in alabama, but the other 49 states, too. anderson? >> gary tuchman, thanks very much. it's been a long day. coming up, something to make you smile at the end of the day.

>> caleb, 4 years old, set a goal to read 100 books. what did you do this weekend? caleb's dad admits to being kind of skeptical, at first. >> i was like, a hundred, son? i was like, that's a lot of books. so at first i, you know, had the gut reaction to kind of talk him down a little bit. but he was like, no, i want to read a hundred. >> and read a hundred books, he did. the project hit a temporary snag when the family realized they didn't have quite enough books, but friends stepped in with reinforcements and the pint-sized reading marathon continued. our affiliate wls picks up the next chapter of the story. >> reporter: as caleb started to read out loud, his folks decided to stream it on facebook live. the post got a couple thousand views from people as far away as florida. every time caleb finished ten books, he did a dance. >> that is actually remarkly similar to the dance i did when i finished reading a prayer for owen meany. hang on, i lost my train of thought.

what is the boy's name again and what did he do? >> my name is caleb! i read 100 books last night! >> caleb's binge reading adventure has inspired everyone who has heard about it, including his dad. >> i learned to just dream bigger and just try to -- i'm going to try to set an unrealistic goal for myself this coming year and i'm going to just be inspired by caleb to not quit on it and just push through it. >> me, too. now that he's read 100 books in a day, you may wonder, what is next for caleb? >> i want to be a basketball player when i'm 22, i want to be an astronaut, and when i'm 23, i want to be a ninja turtle. >> we have no doubt that by the time he is in his mid-20s caleb will indeed be slam dunking on the international space station and also doing whatever it is that ninja turtles do. and that's what we call one for the books. way to go, caleb.

thanks for watching "360." time to turn it over to don lemon. "cnn tonight" starts now. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. thank you so much for joining us. and we are on the verge of a day of reckoning. it will be decided by the people of alabama and what those voters do when they go to the polls in just a few hours. will they put politics ahead of principle? will they vote for roy moore, the candidate who's accused of child molestation and sexual abuse of teenagers? the man who said america was last great under slavery? >> i think it was great at the time when families were united, even though we had slavery, they cared for one another. people were strong in the families. our families were strong. our country had a direction. >> so this is a man who once said getting rid of all of the amendments after the 10th would -- these are his words -- eliminate many
