of the it did notm looked, look like the one the warren commission concluded. coming up in 40 minutes state leaders and others gather for the dedication ceremony of the museum of the bible here in washington dc. 10: 30e starts at eastern on c-span and also online at c-span.org or listen to it with the free c-span app. this is a portion of today's washington journal. we like to welcome bridget bowman. senator al franken was accused , he initially said he did not remember it that way. he later apologized to this woman.just to this

caller: he indicated he was willing to work on the -- with the ethics committee. the ethics committee will hold some kind of hearing and come up with a recommendation, expulsion or something else. i was talking to the former chief counsel for the chief act ethics committee, he said sometimes investigations can , or weekss and years to months. not say what the timeline

would be. they do investigate what happened when they were not in the senate, yes. that leaves the senate open to moore should henot become in the senate. the ethics committee has left this exception open in the past. the ethics committee said they would not continue looking into allegations that representative victor moore should he become in the, even though the allegations were before he became a senator. host: you mentioned roy moore. is talking about an ethics investigation if you were to be elected by alabama on december 12? indicatedch mcconnell that the ethics committee practice move forwards. there is a question as to whether there would be a vote to expel him if he can to the senate. that could open them up to a

legal challenge. processes to the normal , it would stave off any legal challenge there. what are republicans in washington thinking about doing about roy moore. mitch mcconnell says he does not think he should be on the ticket and should step down. guest: there is not much they can do with him not stepping down with the alabama republican party saying they were standing behind roy moore. not --cided they are they are going to let the alabama voters decide. the national party was scrambling after the post story was published last week.

without the cooperation of the governor or input from the president that would make it difficult. strangeat about senator , triggering a special election? guest: national republicans are looking into the, and senator strange working out the term. , theif you were to do that election would still take place. host: what is the potential political fallout from washington? republicans trying to control what happens in alabama? guest: this is about roy moore , making mitchion mcconnell's number one enemy. accusing them of trying to steal the election. it's interesting to see this

coming up again. we will see how effective it is in the general. host: what are republicans on capitol hill saying about the president not speaking himself? got on twitter, not before cameras about the accusations. acknowledgelicans it would help them if you were more forceful in his remarks. thing whereeresting the president is very popular in alabama and does not want to alienate his base who also support roy moore. right now it looks like the president has taken the position that the alabama voters will decide. date of the special election is december 12.

it says is everybody is condemning roy moore before he has been tried or anything. they are coming up with accusations from 40 years ago. it's like we are condemning him driven he hasbeen done anything. it's another play of the democratic playbook. theyt another seat that can get their democrat in there. that's all it is. what about the republicans in congress who believe that the women have come forward, and one of them saying she was 14 when it happened. sayer: they are afraid to this is still america, you are still innocent until proven guilty. it is not the other way around.

they are afraid to say what's right here at what is right is you are innocent until proven guilty. the president -- is doing the right thing by keeping his mouth shut until the facts come feared -- come out. there are tricky things coming out with uranium one secret stuff, all the things that hillary was planning during the elections. democrats can go pretty low. her point this has not are there any investigations right now looking into the allegations by these women? a lot of reporters are looking into it and locally as well. congress, i don't think they are looking into it anywhere on

capitol hill. some alabama republicans are questioning the timing of this. do they think it is coming from democrats or republicans? guest: the more campaign has been saying most -- both. are are saying democrats teaming up republicans to move that forward. host: houston, texas, democrat. caller: yes men. it seems like his discrimination fromst the democrats republicans -- republicans get away with everything, but , how would you like a donald trumpirl --

can speak about what he did is but he can speak out would've been you a democrat he would have spoken out. he needs to be in pizza for that, too. impeached for that, too. they are scared to speak out. i am scared to speak out. host: we have not heard the president talk about roy moore. guest: that is an interesting

contrast. too much aboutrd senator franken, an interesting dynamic. host: linden, tennessee, a republican. caller: i'd like to make a comment about the sexual harassment. a couple colors ago, a lady, she hit the nail on the head. wake up, america. you are innocent until proven guilty. flying -- slang going on against mr. moore, bring the proof and do something about it. but to bring accusations and tear people down is wrong, is totally wrong. why didn't mr. trump say something about mr. moore, bring the proof, if they bring the will be against

him. host: is there proof in the al franken case? onler: from what i have seen your show, yes. there is a problem. what's the proof in that case with roy moore accusation a picture of him dancing about this lady with his above thisanding lady with his hands. that is a reason to start investigating at find out whether he is guilty or not. , all this tearing of his character down, bring the proof. host: should president trump

have said anything about senator franken? i think he has a right to say something. enough to start an investigation on roy moore? caller: i'm just hearsay, i have a seen anything that he did anything. just somebody getting on there and saying yes, he did anything to me. prove it. host: what about the number of women who are claiming this? do we know that this is not financed by somebody. distrustking about the in washington toward state parties in politics. not alone ins thinking that this is politics. guest: that's an interesting point. it seems like out of these cases and accusations don't do much to help congress's approval rating.

certainly in alabama you see a backlash to republicans looking moore fromg roy coming to the senate. see this brought distrust that you mentioned. host: rachel in forney, texas. they are trying to make it into a democrat republican thing. we need to know if he did this or not. a lot of people said they would vote for him but i guarantee you they would not move next to him if they have doctors. daughters. you not working him as a janitor in a school.

half of the people in town remembers stories about this man trying to pick up young girls in town. these people can't -- came vote forand floated -- him. dit couldn't be true people said because of the election. they are just trying to keep him from getting elected. there arewomen out afraid that some child predator world kidnapped here kids. we have people that are willing for him. i don't understand it. here out ofnamic the caller talking about if this

he would come to the senate and represent the state of alabama. are you hearing about the standard for senators or members of congress representative -- holding a political office? guest: republicans in the senate not bet roy moore should in the senate and should not be representing the republican party. they say he does not meet the standard of serving in the senate. doouple of senators acknowledge there is not much toy can do at this point keep him from coming here if he is elected. provision, the only way they could not see him immediately as if he did not meet the constitutional age forent, the minimum being a senator and that he was duly elected. it looks like he will have to be

seated if elected. i would like to say that the post in washington found out -- presentoore havers of the house who been taking advantage of woman -- women, with a price find out about them and expose the democrat and republican who have had accusations made against them. i wonder if anybody is looking into mr. jones who is running into mr. moore. , notbody should be suspect just one. , she'shat about referring to jackie's fear -- , naming names, a

democrat and republican, she said, that she heard of stories of them harassing women. is there hassue not been a lot of news about that. think there is certainly more to come. we have reporters looking into , it seems like there is only a matter of time. host: more stories of sexual harassment claims he made. you have a headline, settlement payouts are the highest in years . this office that handles the complaints, said that u.s. taxpayers paid out more than $900,000 to settle claims on capitol hill. the highest amount in 10 years. what do you know about the last

year and these claims? organization and also overseas and other legislative branches, government ,ccountability on -- office they deal with workplace , theyes, harassment suits issue a report and issues recommendations that they have an additional staff member looking into sexual harassment claims. they are also trying to change a process of how this works, making it easier for the people who are accusing, alleging sexual harassment to go to the system. the system is convoluted. jackie's fear had a flow chart of it and it was very expensive. she argued it in a fitted a

member of congress or the staff member who is being accused and that there was not a lot of transparency or a good route for someone who have been caressed -- harassed host:. if youmiss that hearing, are interested in what congresswoman spearhead to say you can find it on c-span.org. elizabeth in -- michigan. the thing that is so irritating is the democrat itsus republican thing, when happens it is bad. it doesn't matter what party they are on. the only thing that is different person who did that or a one-time thing like al

franken. i never liked al franken when he was a comedian. that has nothing to do with it. we need to look at the job at hand and the general character of the person who has done it, it should be an independent study by congress to do the investigation. the only thing -- what i really dislike and find disgusting is when somebody hides behind christianity. he said he is a christian so therefore he could not have done this. bull.s such a bunch of cut this republican democrat stuff out of it. host: ok. next are independent line. caller: i wanted to say that i am sick and tired of the people saying bring proof. when someone has been -- i would

violatedthey have been they carry that with them for years and years. there is nothing to show you how to let it go as some of these men have said. women who have not been through -- it is nohat we big deal to us. it is. i believe these when who are claiming this and have carried it for 40 years. the reason they have not said anything is that they are intimidated. they have been taught that men have the upper hand and this goes back for years and years. violated, have been and it has never gone away. didn't mean to cut you

off. i am wondering about culture on capitol hill and congressman spiers p -- speaking out. what is leadership doing on both sides about sexual harassment on capital hill? has made sexual harassment training mandatory for all members. that will be mandatory. it was not mandatory prior to this which is interesting. in terms of the broader environment there was a survey in july and for i in 10 women women thought this was a problem on capitol hill. said they had experienced something like this on capitol hill. now that lawmakers are paying attention -- one question because i haven't been up to date with

everything on roy moore. being told stay guest: away from the mall? he has. the campaign is saying a formal wasl employee that he barred from the mall. he has denied all wrongdoing on any of these allegations and continues to do so. host: sears employees according to the washington post and others say they warned young women to stay away, and others mall. was banned from the host:, democrat. i have a question regarding to the timing. am not a fan of mr. moore or

mr. bannon. i think they are polarizing with the republican party. i was sorry he won the primary. it will not help the republicans. sexualtion is, allegations are damning and disturbing. i questioned the timing of this, as mr. moore has said he has vett so many times and in so many positions. ed people are coming out now because their strength in numbers. there were people coming out a long time before she was put on the ballot. , that question the timing they came out when the names were on the ballot and there was nothing more that could be done. anddidn't they come out expose him after the primaries? his name got on the

ballot. i question that. i am suspicious of the democrats. i wonder, did they go to the democrats and say something and they said wait until his name is on the ballot? i learned from washing your -- watching your station there is nothing that can be done. guest: two that point, that is something that was mentioned before questioning the timing of this. it is too late to remove his name from the ballot. allegations came out after the window had closed. timing a good point, the . what are republicans talking about next? that theyadmitted

don't have a lot of options? guest: senate republicans, some noted that there is not much they can do about him stepping aside, senator mcconnell said they are looking at options candidate. right in they are not clear who that would be. they say will just lit the vote. lori in montgomery, alabama. bowman, you are very beautiful. my second point that would be as a guy i am disgusted in the way we treat our women over all as a gender. i believe we hold women back a lot and there is a lot of harassment going on and meant need to stand up in general. my last point is i am from

alabama and i don't know too much about roy moore but i believe he is guilty not just because of the women but other allegations about staying away .rom the mall republicans, democrats, the president is a lawyer, they are all liars. we need to get rid of all of them and start over. caller: good morning. these victims are young women. it was a judge by that time. [inaudible]

he is a comedian. where are the polls in alabama right now i had of the special election? some believe the accusations and some do not. guest: they have been a little bit all over the place. jones is several points ahead of more right now. they are essentially tied, which is remarkable. this is a special election in the middle of december. the turnout could be low and very hard to predict who will show up. we are still not sure what that will mean for election day. politics reporter with

roll call, we appreciate your time. thank you. we are having technical issues with our plan coverage of the museum of the bible. we are recording that event and we will have it for you later on this program schedule. and now more from today's washington journal. the former deputy secretary, and how senior fellow for the center of american progress. we should begin with the returning from asia. this is what he had to say about what was accomplished during this trip. we have established a new framework for trade that ensure sure -- reciprocity and new fair trade deals that benefit the united states and their partners.

we have laid out a pathway towards peace and security in our world where sovereign nations can thrive, flourish, and prosper side-by-side. this is our beautiful vision for the future. this is a future where this vision is only possible if america is strong, proud, and free. as long as we are true to ourselves, faithful to our founding, and loyal to our citizens, there is no task too great, no goal beyond our reach. my fellow citizens, america is that in the future has never looked brighter. what the president was talking about was something that was a little bit divorced from the reality of his trip. .et's take a step back for decades, the united states has played a role in upholding

peace and stability and prosperity across the asian pacific through our alliances, partnerships, and dealing in a very frank and straightforward way with adversaries. thatg to make sure everybody is able to benefit from a peaceful and stable region. that is a relatively fragile peace. it takes a tremendous amount of diplomatic work to keep that. what president trump did in the region over the last couple of tremendouslyd some profound anxiety amongst our allies and partners in the region about credibility of americans staying power in asia and the priorities we have. not we will prioritize the same things we have in recent decades that have benefited everybody. host: in what way did he do that? guest: he has completely dropped

human rights from the priority list of the united states when it comes to asia. when he was in china, it was very clear he did not take questions from journalists during their press conference. this is something the american presidents have fought for repeatedly. host: president obama did not either in his first trip. guest: president obama did fight for and has on other trips to china. american officials repeatedly .ight for that right to do that whether or not his for their country, it is important for the united dates to show this is something we prioritize. when he was in the philippines and he was warmly embracing strongman leader of the philippines rodrigo duterte. -- there were no signs that he

raised about the deadly campaign that the president has gone on, more than a year ago that he's killed estimates of thousands of people in a violent campaign against drug use in his country -- these are things that show raising issues like human rights show what america stands for in the world and in the region and it is ending a very different signal when we do not directly address concerns. what is the impact -- or whatat is the impact strategic decisions do you see them making because of this? guest: the ramifications of the anxiety in the region are clear. president trump in one of his first acts as president withdrew the united states from the transpacific trade deal. president trump has withdrawn

and with a tremendous amount of credibility but what has happened is a number of things. the other 11 countries that are part of the tpp have moved forward without us. a are going to write the rules of the road in trade in asia and we are not going to benefit nor are we going to be at the table when it comes to actually trying to figure out how we can benefit from trade. forward with ag broader regional trade agreement called the regional comprehensive economic partnership. everyone else is moving forward benefit-- with how they from trade and president trump is withdrawing. host: he says he wants to write new deals. guest: that is what he's been saying since the campaign trail but to date, there is no sign of him getting any results. he is talked about starting bilateral deals with countries like japan, vietnam -- this trip

would have been a very good way -- place for him to outline. host: has efforts been made? guest: effort has been made with vice president mike pence with japan -- he tried to start a dialogue but what we are seeing from these countries in the region is a real lack iof in engaging with the united states because they are concerned about the credibility. the president withdrew the united states from an agreement that we spent a decade negotiating. why would these countries believe that we are going to make good on the promises? host: what do you think is the of japan and china moving closer together or these other countries moving closer together and not including the united states? i think there are a

number of different ramifications. on the economic side, china has been growing rapidly. of -- the countries of asia are integrating economically. it is becoming more difficult for the united states to get what we need. we need to have skin in the game. we need to continue to fight for our interests. by withdrawing us from those multilateral discussions is that we are not there. we do not have a seat at the table. the other countries in the region will continue to move and the united states is not going to have the same alike up.o -- the same leg when it comes to security, the united states has played a very important role behind the scenes

and trying to keep the peace in the region. our alliances with south korea, japan, philippines, australia, and others have made sure that other countries -- china in recent years -- does not try to do something to undermine peace in the region. the unitedity in states weekends, you will see tensions between many of these countries rise. the risk of some sort of miscalculation or conflict over north korea for instances the type of thing we could see. host: we are taking your questions and comments about the president trip to asia. michael is our guest this morning. he will take your questions and comments. did the president argued during the campaign that these were bad deals for americans -- if you

seem if you look at the vote results, the people agreed with them. that these have been bad deals that have been cut by the obama administration and previous administrations. what evidence do you have that these are not bad deals? guest: i do not think that is the question we should be asking. the question is regardless of what you think about tpp, for instance, or path trade deals -- past trade deals, the question is whether or not the united states should be trying to lead in crafting the agenda in the region on economic trade deals that would advantage of america? what the president is doing is not saying, hey, i would like to look at the tpp and try to figure out how we can strengthen this so that a good advantage american workers. what he has done is said, i am packing my bags and i'm going

home, and i am happy to have individual conversations about what we can do, but there is not a lot of perceptive and he on the other side. -- on the other side. the result is that we are not able to ship the rules of the road like we would have been able to if we had been engaged. host: from columbus, georgia, republican. caller: good morning. i love how these liberals always outt president obama -- sp president obama's policies and they do not realize that when you come up from a position of weakness like president obama did and you lead from behind, you have lots of money leaving the country and corporations leaving the country, and lots of jobs leaving the country. when you get out of these trade deals that we were in for weakness, we turn around and

say, we do not blame ya'll for taking advantage of us because we did a bad deal. so what we are going to do, we are going to change it. we are going to be into good deals -- that way our economy will become stronger. your pointt to take because this is something that was set on the campaign trail and you have heard from conservatives -- president obama was seen as "weak." president trump is showing strength by saying, these are bad deals. guest: i think you cannot confuse strength with hyperbolic over the top rhetoric. that is not strength. loud talking points are not strength. strength is showing resolve. inn you look at asia particular, you have to go back decades. this is not about obama policy versus trump policy.

this is about american interests and what american administrations going back have been trying to do to advance. it has been on the economic side which is benefited the american people but is also on the security side. this is one of the points that we need to keep in mind. there were massive wars fought in the asia-pacific in recent decades. wars that cost americans tens of thousands of lives not to mention, intense casualties in the region itself. this is something that our policy in asia has been to prevent and we have been successful. that takes a lot of hard work. serve in the obama administration as the secretary of state for east asian affairs. advisor toved as the

the secretary of state when hillary clinton was the secretary of state. paul, florida, democrat. caller: i wanted to ask you if you could describe please the currents military relationship between the philippines and the united states. recentthing done at the meeting between president trump and president duterte about that relationship, especially the joint military exercises? guest: i think this is one of the very difficult relationships that the united states has. the relationship with the philippines is an alliance that goes back decades and that is an important one. it is something that many administrations have tried to build up over the years. last year when president duterte was elected president of the

philippines, we became faced with a difficult decision which is that we had a democratically of the leader philippines begin to directly undermine the rule of law in respect for human rights in his own country by embarking on this deadly campaign against drug users and his country. the human rights concerns are awful in the philippines. what the obama administration tried to do was to try to step back a little bit from some of the cooperation with the philippines on the security side while making sure we were not andrmining our interests not publicly embracing president duterte. what president trump has done so president duterte date, not raise any concerns about his human rights record. confusing signal and will be detrimental to our interests.

a warmer trump has had personal relationship with president duterte. at the moment, there is less friction and tension in the bilateral relationship. on the military side, we continue to move toward in terms of the cooperation between our on theies in making good deal that was a military deal struck under the obama administration with the previous philippines administration to boost military cooperation between the countries. that is a good thing. is a lack of ag concern on the united states part about the human rights. is in missouri. caller: hello. i'm sorry that you are not still in the state department. our props are

being knocked out. they will be nearly impossible to resurrect. what is absent that i hear in so much lately is any talk of what is going to be done for the american people. i come from the midwest where we need desperately public transportation connection with we need of the world, health care, and we need education beyond high school that is affordable. i do not see why we cannot have it. book published by barnes & noble several years ago -- a republication of mark damned human race.

" he has a very interesting take on our involvement of the philippines -- back then. guest: i think your point is exactly right. the first priority of the american president and american foreign policies to make sure we of theancing interests american people did when it comes to asia policy and some of the things we saw from president trump's trip, there is overarching points. there are things we should not take for granted and that was the point i was making earlier about stability in asia. it was not that long ago that we thought the wars in this region because of the severe instability there. what we have been doing in recent decades is the heart of o-matic work -- the hard

diplomatic work of trying to make sure we keep the peace in the region. the second point is the one about trade and economic relationships. trade has become a very divisive issue in this country. sometimes there are fair concerns. regardless of whether you thought the tpp or the u.s. south korea trade agreements point we or bad, the should all agree on is that the united states needs to be engaged and needs to be leading the trying to board best economic arrangements with our sotners around the world that we can create jobs at home. population --st the world's biggest countries biggestworld's economies, we have to be engaged there and trying to forge those trade agreements. host: marquez next in virginia.

would like to challenge on his question of "no seat at the table." those countries -- they should be doing the best for themselves and they all want to do business with the united states. we will have a seat at our table when they come. as having results in strength, if we have been negotiating the trade deal for 10 years, that does not sound like very good results. i would much rather throw those deals out, start over, and look out for our country first. about i think your point the power of the american economy is absolutely right. the biggest thing we have going for us is the innovation, the creativity of the american economy and the american worker. that will continue to make us desirable for other countries to and makeo trade deals

sure they are investing and working together with us. but the question really is in asia, how are we going about doing that? we cannot do what president trump did, unfortunately, when he was in vietnam and gave us each to a roomful of officials and said, we are not going to get cheated by you anymore. that is not the kind of attitude that is going to get these countries come running to us and want to negotiate better trade agreements. what you need to do is sit down with them and show a willingness to actually engage. make trade-offs with these other countries like we all do. are the ways in which we will get the best results for american workers. unfortunately, what is happening the countries in asia which

are important economic markets for the united states are becoming more and more hesitant about doing what you suggested which is running to the table to want to strike an economic deal. in the long run, that will hurt our economy. host: a few minutes left in our conversation. in oklahoma, a democrat. like to knowld since china owns so much of our debts, do we have any kind of leverage to get them to come to the trading table? host: that is a great question. the u.s. and china economic relationship is one of the most problematic of our policy in asia right now. this is a very difficult balance. there are lots, of ways in which china is unfairly treating american companies. they subsidize their exports giving them an unfair advantage into our markets and other markets, they have the same time

placing taxes and restrictions on investments, so they are disadvantaging american companies and many way. -- ways. how do you deal with that? what president trump talked about on the campaign trail, i do not think is the way necessarily and i would start a trade war with china and that would be very bad. what we need to be doing is showed china that we are going to be tough, that we may have a willingness to come down pretty hard on them in specific sectors that wes to show them are not going to continue the kind of relationship that we have had. i did not see that from president trump. believelike to that he's going to put a little bit harder to strike a deal, but i have not seen it yet. host: what is the state of the

state department under secretary of state rex tillerson? how many positions are still open? what are you hearing? guest: being served and the state department for seven years, i came to know the building very well. aree people who work there the backbone of american foreign-policy. they are the backbone of american power around the world. while secretary tillerson on the policy side is trying to strike a allen's on this administration and trying to do -- strike a balance on this administration -- his view on the state department is completely lost. he is approaching it like a ceo would when you are told you need to cut percentage out of your budget. that may work fine for a company like exxon mobil.

what drives a department budget -- the interests -- that you cannot just say you want to cut that by 30%. that unfortunately is what secretary tillerson is doing. while he figures out how to cut the budget at the state department, he has not been filling the jobs. we do not have a white house appointed ambassador to south korea, we do not have a white house appointed assistant secretary of state for east asia , and these should be concerning issues when it comes to trying to implement foreign-policy. host: curtain montana, republican. caller: hi. filling the positions in the state department, it kind of goes back into the congress and how slow the democrats are as far as

people being confirmed. the other thing is i have not heard you say one good word about the top administration so far. that is understandable because eracome from a obama individual from the state department -- host: let's end on that note. what do you see as success or a positive action from this administration when it comes to asia policy? guest: i think that there are a few areas in which the administration is doing a solid job. aen it comes to our lliance with japan. very goodced a relationship with his counterpart prime minister in japan and that was on full display when he went to tokyo. that is a crucial part of

american foreign-policy when it comes to asia whether it is economic or security. that is a really positive thing the president has done. there are other aspects of his policy in asia that are positive. the u.s. defense department appears to have restarted navigation operations in the south china sea on a regular basis which is something we need to be doing and something we are going to defend. there are pieces of policy across the region that the trump administration is actually doing a pretty good job. it is the broader policy in the region and the relationships that he is origin with some of these countries that i think is overall disturbing.
