christian values. so different than the form u laic hollywood sex, falling in love. hannity.com, thanks for being with us. have a great weekend. laura is next. see you monday. >> laura: good evening, welcome to washington. i'm laura ingraham. tonight we'll explore the assault allegation against hollywood comedian louis ck and alabama senatorial candidate roy moore. that's where we begin tonight's angle. the media and political world over allegations of sexual misconduct against roy moore. three women allege he had relationships with them when they were teens and moore was in his early 30s. one woman, who was 14 at the time, said he initiated a sexual encounter. gop establishment figures and

the left are calling on moore to withdraw from the race. but moore has flatly denied the allegations. he's vowing to fight on. establishment media figures are salivating over the scandal. >> this is much worse. >> if i am running democratic candidates i am plastering the party, this is the party of pedophiles. this is the party of physical abusers. so you make him one of the poster boys. >> laura: the gop the party of abusers? i don't think they want to go there. i have got two words for you. bill clinton. now, it was reported this week that another sexual degenerate, harvey weinstein employed a guy, a private eye. he was hired to collect dirt on his accusers. by the way, you know who palladino used to work for doing that same job? bill clinton. you got it.

then there's david boyd the democratic super lawyer who represented al gore an gave millions to the clintons and obamas and was also employed by weinstein. he, too, helped supress stories of harvey's misdeeds using what the new yorker calls a network of spies. i haven even gotten to the rape allegations against bill clinton. of course, sex scandals involving weiner, spitzer, barney frank. need i go on? and the gop is the party of sexual abuse? get outta here. last time i checked weinstein, spacey and louis ck weren't exactly hanging out at sea tac. you see how they protect their own to the very end? by the way, democrat senator bob menendez is currently in the middle of a federal trial for bribery. right now no one, and i mean no one on the left is calling for him to resign.

when chuck shumer was asked ab this, he refused to answer, kind of moved on to the next question. who can affect after impeachment, the impeachment vote of bill clinton? the democrats raced up to capitol hill after the vote and held what was the equivalent of a white house pep rally for bill clinton. only thing they didn't have is balloons. meanwhile republican, they throw their candidates overboard the moment an allegation is made even if it's 38 years old. regarding roy moore, as i stated last night, he was not the candidate i supported in this race. i supported brooks. my commentary doesn't come from a place of advocacy, but rather i want to lay out the facts as we have them. this is moore himself answering the charges himself. >> these allegations are completely false an misleading. i don't know miss corkman from

anybody. i have never talked to her. never had any contact with her. do you understand this is 40 years ago after my return from the military, i dated a lot of young ladies. i don't remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. >> you remember dating girls that young at that time? >> not generally, no. if i did, i'm not going to dispute anything, but i don't remember anything like that. >> let me go back to this for a minute here. this is the issue. she is specific instances. >> it never happened. i don't even like hearing it because it never happened. they're doing this a month away, four weeks away after 40 years in public service. i have run five successful -- five campaigns, state wide campaigns. three in the county. this has never been brought up. if you abuse a 14-year-old, you shouldn't be a senate candidate. i agree with that. but i did not do that.

>> you can say you never dated anybody that was in their late teens like that when you were 3 32? >> not my customary behavior. >> you don't recall ever dating any girl that young when you were that old? >> i said no. >> you think that's inappropriate, too? >> yes. >> laura: he didn't deny it. some of the answers were awkward particularly the one about asking mothers' permissions to ask their daughter. we don't know what went on almost 40 years ago. there's no way to prove or disprove what these women allege. these are seedy and really horrible charges and are very very troubling. but this is a political question. not a legal question. should roy moore remain in the race? would alabama voters still support him? i asked my alabama listeners on radio that very question today.

here's what they said. >> i'm definitely still voting for roy moore. this is a hit piece. roy moore will win by an even larger margin now. being attacked by "the washington post" is the equivalent is being endorsed by donald trump. >> we would raer vote for a man who has allegations against him than certainly come from a dubious source. >> we're not stupid. we see what's going on. they did the same thing to donald trump 30 days before the election. >> laura: we had a bore full of call, the entire show. we have a lot of listeners in alabama. not one caller said they would drop moore. not one. the timing of these allegation, just weeks before the election is a little suspicious, to say the least. the fact that "the washington post" whose editorial board opposes moore's candidacy and then some is the source of the bombshell should give us some

pause. that's the angle. should moore stay or should moore go? what about the timing and source of these allegations? to discuss this from montgomery alabama, i'm joined by a retired supreme court justice who once represented roy moore and from boston brian maloney. mr. butts let's start with you. you once represented judge moore. you served on the alabama supreme court. are there any circumstances given what you know now that would lead you to advise him to step aside? >> you have to understand i do know judge moore and along with the former u.s. attorney named jim wilson and mike jones, we represented judge moore during his first ethics trial during the time he was removed from the

alabama supreme court over the ten commandments issue. so we've gotten to know judge moore very well at that time. and to specifically answer your question, you have to understand the people of alabama are suspicious of anything that comes what they think comes out of washington, d.c. they're suspicious of washington to begin with. that's not to take anything away from these allegations that are serious, which it is. if a girl is a victim of any kind of sexual abuse, when i was a trial judge, i had a reputation of coming down very hard on child abusers. but people of alabama will probably stand by judge moore. and he will be elected. and that is what is likely to happen in this instance. because they are not sure on the timing of this and whether or

not it's a political hit piece. that's one of the things that people are saying. and they don't look at it as a necessarily as a moral issue as such necessarily, but whether or not it's just more politics or more of the same. >> laura: brian i want to jump in with you on the medias is spebgt and some of the substance as well. the media has such a case of aggressive amnesia. we had juanita broaddrick make a rape allegation against bill clinton and it was difficult to find main stream media outlets that would do much of anything. they reported it initially "the new york times." it went away. and it was a rape allegation. rape. for thaoe people to come on television and say, this just shows you, this is a party of abuse, party of sexual abuse. get outta here.

i listed the names of the democrats who have had their own sexual problems. most of them are not encouraged to resign, step aside. often they don't even get a reprimand. >> that's absolutely right, laura. i am just fired up over the media arrogance going on right here. the northeastern media and "the washington post" they're not trying to be journalists here. they have become the story. they are creating the news. how you know this is in the timing. i used to work on political campaigns. i know how to time a hit piece on your opponent. that is exactly when you do so. here you have a political figure who's been well known in that state for decades. where was this, in a brucing primary battle where tens of millions of dollars were spent. how come none of this came about? washington post reporter waltzes in and gets the scoop of the decade in that state and has magical story unfold.

to me at this point it's not even so much about whether it's guilt or innocence because we weren't there. it was almost 40 years ago. what it is about is a fundamental misunderstanding by the northeastern media that it is ultimately the people of alabama that will decide this race. they are the ones voting, not anyone in washington. i don't think they can get past that. >> laura: mr. butts, i have a daughter who is 12 years old. i think of that scene described and i want to throw up. it's so gross. i had to turn the tv off. i couldn't even watch the news again. that part of it infuriating. at the same time, it is hard to ever disprove something like this. if a man or woman is accused of something, you can ever really respond. you can't get your reputation

back. if it's not true, a man's reputation will ever be the same. if it is true, he shouldn't be running. but the people of alabama now have this pressure on them. people like jonah goldberg and mike lee of utah say he should step aside. every senate running is now going to be asked the roy moore question. >> that is a fact. one other thing, too, that's playing out in the state of alabama is how is this going to affect state politics in alabama? is it going to bleed over into our 2018 election cycle for all of our state race, legislative and governor and others. what people don't realize here is if i understand the united states senate rules, even if roy moore is lected in december the senate can refuse to seat him if that is correct.

i'm no expert on the united states senate rule. but what happens if the united states senate says okay you have elected the man, but we are not going to seat him because we don't think we can. now we have a real mess in alabama. and now we really do have a legal mess. it just continues on. that bleeds over and hurts the republican party in the state of alabama. what's going on? >> laura: just what the republican party needs. tax reformed botched obama care. now this. i think that's why so many of my callers, their antenna went up about this. i think a lot of them weren't even necessarily roy moore supporters. i supported mo brooks. thank you for joining us. joining us now from tuscaloosa, alabama, where this election goes from here is the current secretary of state from alabama. mr. merrill, we've heard a lot

in the last 24 hours about state process. the state process when something like this happens. it is true, is it not, that even if he steps aside, which he says he will not do, his name, roy moore's name, remains on this ballot. >> that's right, laura. even if judge moore decides that he wants to disqualify himself, at that point it will not matter. his name will still be on the ballot. even if the republican party decided they would not continue with their support of judge moore as their nominee and it was confirmed to our office october 11th. judge moore's name will remain on the ballot for the december 12, 2017 special general election. >> laura: i understand the governor today has entertained the idea of moving the election, but it was said that that would only take place if the white house gave in to that move.

is that report correct? >> a number of those issues remain to be explored because our code is very clear about certain issues that need to be addressed when it comes to those actual actions that will occur. that is one that is still up in the air but one that is being explored. >> laura: if, in fact, he does not step aside and there is a massive like lisa murkowski write in campaign for let's say, jeff sessions or mo brooks. maybe goes back to being senator. i'm just speculating. or someone like an mo brook. has to be a name everybody can remember. you have to spell the name correctly. you can have any mistake in the name or the ballot is invalid. >> certainly. >> laura: if that write in

ballot continue, it would have to swamp the democratic candidate. >> no doubt about it. only two kirstjen nielsen s - candidates appear on the ballot. if a write in effort take place that write in campaign and educational process associated with that campaign is going to take a great deal of time, energy and effort in order to educate our people on what they need to do about casting their ballot for someone who's not currently on the ballot. >> laura: that's why you would need more time in order to get that word out. correct? that's why the election could be moved if, indeed, that ends up being a decision by the state party which we haven't heard a lot from. what is the state party saying here? >> well, i think there are a number of conversations on going. the state party is in a very difficult position as well, as they try to determine what their intentions are and where they need to go. i know that those conversations will continue to take place over

the next few days. maybe even a week or so depending on what el gets introduced next week as this saga continue. >> laura: do you know mr. moore, judge moore? >> i do know judge moore, yes, ma'am. >> laura: what do you think ab these allegations? >> well, i'm very surprised that this information has just been introduced. i think that's the most interesting part of it, to me. i think it's odd that these revelations have just been introduced. considering the fact judge moore has been up for election eight times for different offices. he's been a public figure for more than 30 years in the state of alabama. it's very difficult for a lot of people in our state to believe that because of his history and because of the controversy that that has surrounded judge moore in this public service that this information is only now being introduced by someone. thaoe charges are very very serious and they need to be

given the full measure of vetting that would be necessary to determine their validity. i think that most of our people are still convinced that in order for someone to be removed from the ballot, or to even remove themselves or to have the state party consider -- >> laura: it can't be removed from the ballot. that's the thing. that's why the timing is interesting. >> exactly. to disqualify themselves from consideration for people not to vote for them. because those names cannot be removed. >> laura: one more scenario. say he does separate himself or the republican party separates itself from judge moore and he also bows out. he still wins. let's say he still has the most votes. that election is then null and void. correct? and the election results go to the democrat. correct? >> no. >> laura: doesn't go to anybody?

>> that is correct. if judge moore disqualifies himself or if the state party rescinds their nomination and endorsement of him, if those activities occur, that means we receive information that would inkate that that is indeed the case, then at that point our election would be null and void an we would have to hold a new election and senator strange would con to serve in that seat until another senator was elected and sworn in according to the constitution. >> laura: that would be quite something. we really appreciate this. complicated process. thank you. coming up a stunning and revolting admission from comedian louis ck and the cultural fallout. we'll be right back with details. my experience with usaa has been excellent.

they always refer to me as master sergeant. they really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on very quick very prompt. i feel like we're being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life. usaa, get your insurance quote today.

>> laura: last night we told you about the stunning allegations of sexual misconduct b b by comn louis ck. now we can call those accusations facts after he leased a statement admitting his misdeed. here's what he said. these stories are true. at the time i said what i did was okay because i never showed a woman my -- without asking first. which is also true. but what i learned later in life, too late, is when you have

power over another person, asking them to look at your isn't a question it's a predicament. the power i had over these women is that they admired me. closed quote. unbelievable. louis ck went on to say he regretted he hurt so many people and he will now step back an take a long time to listen. let's not forget that last year louis ck denied the then rumors to vulture saying, quote, i don't care about that. that's nothing to me. that's not real. and late night comedians who are always quick to pounce any time a conservative is accused of anything had far more muted reactions to louis ck. check out jimmy kimmell. he didn't even mention it. here's how ck's former buddy stephen colbert addressed it. >> louis cancelled his appearance because the new york times broke this story today.

five women are accusing louis ck of sexual misconduct. when reached for comment -- i don't want to hear about it. big fan. >> laura: so not funny. joining us now for reaction is standup comedian jimmy fala. and to pick up from last night, raymond arroro. jimmy, comedians are so quiet about louis ck, aren't they? condemnation for conservatives come fast an furious. but this time the cat has their tongue. >> so funny. who would have thought we'd spend the entire award season with hollywood lecturing us about donald trump's character. turns out these people can act. give me a break with this. louis ck, i want to say this, first and foremost. everybody in the city knew this story. including a guy like colbert,

jimmy kimmell. in kimmell's defense, he's not speaking out because he hasn't gotten his talking points from chuck shumer yet. i'm sure he'll have something to say once chucky gives him direction he'll know what to do like he did with health care. what i'm hoping we can get out of this as a nation, everybody can understand how full of it hollywood is. when they try to support to care ab stuff like this. it's all a branding exercise for them. everybody knew he did this. but they thought it would be damaging to their brand to out him. >> laura: they protected him. they protected weinstein. just like the democrats protected clinton and weiner and spitzer. and what they're doing to menendez. >> koufrs. if louis ck was smart, he would change his name to bob menendez and the media would leave him alone. >> laura: he lost a bunch of deal, ck or louis, he had a

movie that was coming out which you pointed out on radio today does tell the story of the man. >> he lost the deal with fx. he had an animated special. his production company was named pig newton. that's a give away. the movie "daddy i love you" concerns a 17-year-old daughter of a writer played by louis ck who falls in love with a 68-year-old director. >> laura: let's watch a clip from this sick twisted film. >> isn't that weird? >> not that weird. he likes young girls. >> yes, he does. >> she is a child. she knows nothing. she's like a disney princess on estrogen. >> could be a lot worse. >> it's my daughter. >> everybody is a pervert.

i'm a pervert. who cares? >> laura: everybody's a pervert. it's normalizing. raymond at the end, he supports the relationship. >> it's a plea for statutory rape. the problem with louis ck is this. he created self-abuse and abuse of others in a joke and people continued to listen. my problem is not the nasty joke, it's that kids, young people were exposed to it. >> laura: the perv degenerate aspect of all of this is there for anyone to see in the work product of his, quote, comedy. malkovich is kind of learing at the 17-year-old. this is great. isn't this fun? in the end it's, whoa, this is so normal. his apology was wared with the d word used in it twice. >> kudos to you for getting through that.

>> laura: jimmy, i wanted you to read that with some kind of dramatic part. why do i have to read full screens. >> all i was thinking as you were reading that intro, what does it say ab me that they brought me on for this specific story? we've got this creep fondling himself. do you know who knows a lot about that sort of thing? >> now i feel dirty. >> laura: no, no. i want to play one more thing. jon stewart was asked ab this last year. as you said, jimmy, everybody knew about this. let's watch how he reacted. >> all i can tell you that i have worked with louis for 30 years. he's wonderful man and person. i have never heard anything about this. we've all known bill cosby was a stick for a hropb time. >> laura: do you think that's truthful? >> no, no. he is a total fraud.

they all knew him really well. he an colbert worked together going back to '96 on the dana carvey show. they have been involved with each other for about 30 years. everybody. think about this. i'm a comedian who works at fox news. so if i knew about this, do you think how many people it had to travel through in liberal hollywood to make it all the way back to me? this is like a good football play making its way to the cleveland browns locker room. >> laura: does this make comedy clean itself up at all? >> one would hope the message is that the content needs cleaning up, not just the people. there was one great line. we make our tools and later our tools make us. let's hope it's not in this instance. >> laura: thank you very much. from donna brazile's revelation of corruption to the roy moore accusation, it's been a wild week. where do we go from here?

stay tuned.

yours. ♪ ♪ >> laura: thanks for staying with us. it's been a wild roller coaster week in the world of politic. donna brazile dropped bombshell after bombshell about running the democratic party during hillary clinton's doomed presidential campaign and alabama's republican senate nominee roy moore now facing late in the game accusations that he initiated a sexual encounter with an under aged girl back in 1979. joining us now great panel from boston adrianna cohen, from atlanta, bruce levo, executive director of the national diversity coalition for trump and from chicago, my old friend jim warren, chief media writer for the pointer institute. jim, i already told everybody about the co-host from hell story. that's already out there. that's already out there.

>> if you told them that, can you assure them that our five combined children weren't listening you opine about louis ck? >> tell us about, let's start with this roy moore thing. louis ck. but roy moore, the alabama race. what happens? lot of people saying mitch mcconnell never should have gotten involved in this. it probably would have gone to something like an mo brooks, run of the mill conservative down there, very popular. mcconnell got involved. they basically handed it to roy moore. >> the question is who would defeat him? i see him in the united states senate if this is all that we know. if ten other women come out of the woodwork and claim things. i think that this is certainly a news story, but given the politics of that state, i think he's pretty much a lock as long as he denies what happened. i mean, maybe a few years ago thins would have changed.

real quickly i was listening to something tonight who mentioned the tkra mastic changes since the two of us were debating the clinton/broaddrick stuff you eluded to earlier. dramatic change in attitudes when it comes to personal conduct of public officials. and how, this was a theologian saying atheasts -- i don't think much is going to happen. i think he's going to be in the u.s. senate. >> laura: adrian, let's go to use. right at the end of this very contentious senate campaign. what's the sense that you get here? is this something that will, as some republicans are saying, going to hurt the republican party going forward if, as jim's right, he win, he's in a senate. that scandal will be used to beat all these other republicans

over the head with in their races in 2018. >> you're right. i think it's all going to hinge upon whether or not more possible women come forward. if no more women come forward making these types of allegations and it's his word against his accusers, then maybe he can get by. you know, if i looked at a recent polling, he's now tied with his democratic opponent. they're both at 46%. even if he is not removed, he's still facing a tough challenge right now. so this is still very much an uphill battle. >> laura: bruce, what's your sense here? the allegations are obviously sordid. i think we have to say you can't disprove a charge when it's made. you can't disprove it. 38 years later, you can't disprove it. it might have happened. it might not have happened. but you can disprove it. you can prove it. the larges, it's political now.

what's your sense? >> thanks for having me. i prayed about this before i came on your show. it's so unfortunate that these allegations came out. i hope they're not true. you saw the president tweeting, if they are, judge moore will do the right thing. the interesting thing about judge roy moore, everyone knows he is a devout christian. he professes christ his lord an savior. so he knows that responsibility if he's not being truthful or whatever, what his accountability will be which is who he's going to have to answer to. i do say this. i say this cautiously. this is very few, these charges or allegation. i hate to say the word charge. i say stay tuned. everyone just pray for everyone that's involved in this. the great state of alabama, the people of alabama, are going to come through. they're going to prevail and know what's right when they vote

december 12. i tell all the republican, don't panic. just pray for judge roy, pray for the party. just be diligent. i'm very optimistic. >> laura: democrats never throw their people overboard. chuck shumer, you can't find him to say menendez should step aside. he's in the middle of a trial. could go to jail for ten years. >> laura, laura, i got two words for you. anthony weiner. how do you explain that? that's the democrats throwing one of theirs overboard. >> laura: it took little time there. let's remind everybody what happened this week with donna brazile. these are some of the brazile greatest hits of the week. listen. >> people who were making decisions even for the dnc. they didn't come and work with us. they told us to shut up and basically let them win the election.

those telling me to shut up, you know what i tell them? go to hell. i'm gonna tell my story. it was a cult. you could not penetrate them. i use the word rigged. i call it cancer. >> laura: they don't throw one of their own overboard unless it's brazile throwing clinton overboard or the clintons now going after donna. very quickly, i want to get a quick take from each of you. >> yes, absolutely. i mean, look, the bombshell she dropped is just incredible. donna brazile is a prominent democrat. a loyal foot soldier for the democrat party for decades. for her to tell the american people, especially democrats, that hillary clinton campaign did rig the primary against millions of bernie sanders supporters. this is outrageous. who needs russia when democrats are rigging their own elections? >> i was thinking about this.

imagine if, god forbid, hillary won the election, where would donna brazile be now? >> laura: probably in the white house. >> it's hard to give any credibility to donna. one thing about being a former chairman of a party here in georgia, you know, meddling with the primary is very dangerous for the party. it's very dangerous. anywhere across the country, when you have several candidates in the primary and the leadership starts to favor one when there's several in the primary is a detriment to the party itself. actually destroyed the party. that's what happened to the dnc. they got in there. clinton infiltrated it. got in bed with lot of folks there. pushed bernie to the side. pushed others to the side. when the party should vet itself through. by the people, for the people. democratic or republican. >> laura: jim, last word.

you're out of time. does this do lasting damage to the democratic party? >> no. mostly personal. revenge is best served cold. i don't think this an ideological. this is someone pissed off because a bunch of millennial kids weren't returning her calls. she's the head of the democratic national committee. those committee structures have gone basically bye bye. they're dated. she was unhappy she wasn't getting the respect she thought she deserved. having said that, my 8-year-old has a soccer game tomorrow. i fully assume she'll be there talking that book. >> laura: all right, guy, thank you very much. up next the president's critics claim he was soft on trade during his asia trip. they should listen to what he had to say in vietnam today. back in a moment. endless shrimp is here with flavors you'll love. like new savory grilled mediterranean shrimp, topped with a blend of green onions, tomatoes, and herbs.

and your favorites, like garlic shrimp scampi. now's the only time to try as much as you want, however you want 'em. so hurry in today. we35 mules,ur doors with 70 mega-watts, and an ice plant. but we brought power to the people-

redefining what that meant from one era to the next. over 90 years later, we continue to build as america's 3rd largest investor in infrastructure. we don't just help power the american dream... we're part of it.

>> laura: president trump in vietnam right now as part of his 12 day trip to asia. quite a bit of arm chair criticism of the president's actions in china from pundits, comedians and politicians. but how does that compare to what he actually said today? let's watch. >> trump almost got on his knee,

pulled out a ring and proposed to the chinese premiere. >> i spoke openly and directly with president xi about china's unfair trade practices. >> it would be more to say president trump spent his trip to china with nose in butt. >> we can no longer tolerate these trade abuses and we will not tolerate them. >> one thing to not blame them. it's not thing to praise them for ripping america off. >> i expressed our strong desire to work with china to achieve a trading relationship that is conducted on a truly fair and equal basis. >> you can almost hear the leadership of the chinese government laughing from china to america. >> the current trade imbalance is not acceptable. we are not going to let the united states be taken advantage of anymore. i am always going to put america first.

>> laura: sounds like he's really kissing up to the chinese. joining me is tony schaffer vice president of the london center for policy research. i knew when he was there with xi with all the pageantry he was doing the trump strategy. tell us about what your impression was about how he handled himself there and all of the arm chair critics. >> look, i liked his start when he said look, you took advantage of us. better get over it and move on. everybody here misinterpreted that. he's the first leader that's been to the forbidden city. it's not done. yet this is completely missed by the main stream media. the other thing he said, i don't know this for a fact but i have a feeling one of the things that he was probably suggesting is their most favored nation trade status. you start threatening how they are able to get money from us. saying we need to balance thing.

that is in their face but a polite way. i would argue he's been hard to where he has to open up the door and say time to talk. >> laura: american president has not ever gone to china and looked a chinese leader in the eye and said, we're on to you. we know what you're doing. i worked for president reagan. obviously china was a member of the wto back then. clinton, bush, didn't happen. didn't happen. so i think that was actually so refreshing. he kind of said, i don't blame you. then goes over to vietnam. you don't think the chinese were watching him? >> exactly. that's the point that i was going to make. reagan folks, they used to always spin president reagan to play the map. i think that's what president trump is doing. he's playing the chinese leadership. he's got to play them.

he can't play the issue. he goes to vietnam and says, we want to have a partnership with you. the other thing he has in his pocket is the fact that vietnam has a great economy, south koreans have a great economy. japanese have a great economy. >> laura: he wants to do one on one. bilateral trade agreements. get out of these megadeals where we always get the short end of the stick. to me that's doing trade the smart way. >> that's fulfilling his election promise. by doing this, walking away, bringing over the bernie folks. lot of bernie folks voted for president trump because that was unfair. now i think he's trying to brynn back the potential for trade which will allow for american manufacturing to get off his butt and start doing more again. i see this as a direct link for what he did a year ago to be elected. >> laura: at the same time he did announce $250 billion in deals with joint ventures. it sounds big, but the big thing is trade. i think -- i don't think we have

enough of the comedians doing foreign policy announcements. tony, thank you very much. straight ahead, doing more to support those who serve, as we prepare to honor veteran's day. stay with us. it can detect a threat using ai, and respond 60 times faster. it lets you know where your data lives, down to the very server. it keeps your insights from prying eyes, so they're used by no one else but you. it. is. the cloud. the ibm cloud.

the cloud that's designed for your data. ai ready. secure to the core. the ibm cloud is the cloud for business. yours. casual fridays at buckingham palace? alright, off you go. surprising. what's not surprising? how much money nathan saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

>> laura: how can we, and how can you, support those who served in uniform on veteran's day? frankly, every day. that's the subject of our closing angle. remember when general kelly said this a few weeks back? >> most of you, as americans, don't know them, many of you don't know anyone who knows any of them. but they are the very best this country produces. >> laura: he's right, of course. i know veterans. most are too proud to ask for help. or they're too independent and successful to need it. on veteran's day, i think of my

father, who died on his 88th birthday back in 2013. there he is. shefrbed in the navy in world war ii at age 17. i think we serve veterans by supporting groups that actually get help to the vets who need it. lot of great groups out there. wounded warrior project, homes for troops and liberty uso just to name a few. i think we serve veterans by remembering their stories and telling their stories to our children. we serve them by teaching our children real history, the true history of our battles, fought and lost. not a sanitized version that gels with the political correctness of the day. our heroes aren't found at the oscars or the grammy awaawards. they're found in medal ceremonies. >> after four days of constant engagement with the enemy, an after successfully destroying an enemy base camp, mike's unit

prepared to evacuate. when the helicopters arrived, mike fought back the enemy as his fellow soldiers boarded the aircraft. he boarded the last chopper, limping up to the craft, while still warding off enemy forces that were vast approaching. >> laura: back in january 1989, ronald reagan reminded us of the importance of teaching history in his farewell address. >> an informed patriotism is what we want. are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what america is and what she represents, and the long history to the world? 35 years grew up in a different america. we were taught very directly what it means to be an american. we have soared almost in the air a love of country and appreciation of its institution. if you didn't get these things from your family, you got them from the neighborhood, from the

father down the street who fought in korea, or the family who lost someone, or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. if all else failed you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture, movies, reinforcing the idea that america was special. tv was like that, too, through the mid '60s. we've got to teach history not based on what's in fashion, but what's important. we knew what those 30 seconds over tokyo meant. if we forget what we did, we won know who we are. i'm warning of an e rad kaeugs of the american memory that could result ultimately in an erosion of the american spirit. let's start with some basics. more attention to american history and a greater emphasis on civic leadership. >> laura: i could watch that

every day. those words are even more important than they were three decades ago. let's honor our veterans and support them for what they deserve and need. happy veteran's day t t t t to out there who served. . sb. >> judge roy moore speaks out. >> this is a completely manufactured story meant to defrock this campaign. >> the powerful fundraisers are already cutting ties anyway. if he doesn't step aside will senate republicans say no more? >> there's no need for a law from sea to shining zoe. >> they call an open borders zealot for those comments. we'll ask arizona congresswoman martha mcsally. saving those who served. >> person walking next to them, looking a little
