radio host with sexual assault, a charge he has since partially admitted to. it went down like this. it was during a 2006 uso tour in afghanistan. it was good that franken was actually doing those tours but louann tweeden remembers that franken, then a comedian, forcing a really gross french kiss on her back stage. >> he just put his hand on the back of my head and he mashed his face -- i mean it, happened so fast. he just maciousd his lips against my face and he stuck his tongue in my mouth. >> laura: ug. this is how franken himself recalled that very tour but he recalled it on the senate floor in 2010. >> we did four hour show because we found out the troops loved the show. i was kind of a co-host with a beautiful woman named leann tweeden.

and we do comedy routines and we introduce music and introduce the cheerleaders. guy out and do a monologue. >> laura: he says um a lot as well. on the flight home from that uso tour, franken groped that beautiful woman when he placed his hands on ms. tweeden's chest and posed for this photo. check it out. now, tweeden posted the picture and her story online today saying she felt disgusted and violated. franken responded with this statement. i certainly don't remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way but i send my sincerist apologies to louann. as for the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn't. he did a longer statement later on in the day. this is the same senator by the way that just yesterday was grilling a circuit nominee don wil will let 2014 tt he sent. >> does this display the kind of judgment that we

want for a lifetime appointment to the federal judiciary? >> a tweet was a kind of off kelter attempt at levity that missed the bulls eye. >> i don't get it? >> fair enough. >> sometimes when you don't get a joke, it's because it wasn't a joke. >> laura: never have truer words been said by al franken. no one was getting al franken's joke today it wasn't funny. it was juvenile. something like you would see at drunk fraternity party or maybe too immature for fraternity party. other women may soon be coming forward like one of my guests tonight. i'm joined now by melanie morgan. she is here to share her claims about how al franken stalked and harassed her after a joint tv appearance and we're also joined by brian malone, also of the

media equalizer duo who has been investigating franken's past for us. good to see both of you tonight. melanie, i want to start with you. are you really surprised by this story by ms. tweeden tonight? she is still, by the way, likes and respects al franken. i should add that. but given your own experience, are you surprised and then tell us what your experience was. >> i'm not surprised at all, laura. first of all, i would just like to say that i'm here with you tonight without a lawyer wearing a red coat with a box of kleenex and a bucket of tears. i'm here because a true story that i want to share with you. it is a story of harassment and intimidation that took place 17 years ago in 2000. august 19th of 2,000 is when i was invited to appear on the bill maher show politically incorrect before it moved over to hbo abc. i was one of the panelists one of the guests. i was the token conservative and al franken was the liberal along with former

lieutenant governor of colorado and actor billie baldwin. i was involved in just kind of a -- really a mundane argument over policy numbers about, you know, the budget numbers and making some sort of point about that. but, i will tell you what, al franken got right in my face and he just kept coming back over the top and i would challenge him about those numbers, and he would come back over the top. finally the show was over and, laura, he trailed me, stalked me back, really, to the green room where he got in my face again. got very aggressively with me. i felt physically intimidated. and then he followed me out of the studio. i thought the story would end there. but it did not. apparently he got my phone number from one of the show producers and he started calling me at home and harassing me, trying to prove to me how right he was finally on the third phone call i told him if he didn't back off that i was going to call the police and make a police report about his behavior. i found it so creepy and so

disturbing and obsessively weird. and it's an experience that has informed me about him all these years. i never could understand why the people of minnesota elected him as a united states senator. and, yes, i did talk about it in live on the road on my talk show in san francisco lee rogers and melanie morgan show after it happened. i didn't stay silent about it. it's funny, laura, people didn't really seem to care about that sort of behavior until just recently. >> laura: well, melanie, i'm really glad you told the story. i have had some run-ins with al franken over the years. he is so insignificant to me. i remember sputtering so angry at me might have been on politically incorrect as well. there is an underlying nastiness there is a picture of tucker, myself, al franken and eric alterman, that is like in the early 2,000s in the "new york times" event.

i'm on the end. did i not want to go near al franken because we got into a bad argument so i stayed away from him in that particular photo. no thanks, i don't want it. brian, i want to go to you because have you been documenting and doing some investigative work today looking back at some of the things that he has done and yesterday that is kind -- makes us not all that surprised that this is where we are tonight. >> well, really, i don't know where to begin. i have been writing about al franken for over a decade. i was going back through some of my old stories today and i couldn't believe it that there were so many warnings that the democrats really why they ever put him forward as a candidate, that they didn't heed. and, really it was amazing. because 10 years ago i wrote that they would be sorry for bringing him forward as a senate candidate. it was weird to read that today and see all that come true because essentially -- they built him up. the media built him up. the political class built him up with fluffy coverage. he never had to worry about being scrutinized in any

way. his actual background is unbelievable. in fact, so much of what he has done leant even been mentioned today. i want to bring up one in particular. he used to write a column for playboy called pornorama a lot of what was in that column we cannot talk about on fox news here tonight. trust me on that. what i will say, i will try to make this a pg version or whatever. he talked about his own 12-year-old son doing a report on school on bestiality and how he downloaded visual aids from his computer to show to the class and how amused his students were by. this that's an example of what was in that column. then he made a very disgusting, obscene column mention about some of his fantasies that he had about what he wanted women to do. i will not go any further into it than that. that's damning right there. >> laura: brian, you are pointing to the depravity of the comedy. we have talked about it b. it with louie ck and the most disgusting images that

he conjures up in his mind and passes it off as humor which defines a man of who the man is it doesn't surprise me with franken either. this is what k.c. hunt of msnbc said today when they were discussing this issue. let's listen. >> he took a picture, which his office now says was a joke, that showed him potentially not actually groping but mock groping her. she also published a picture that was given to her of her asleep with senator franken mock groping her. >> laura: mock groping her. melanie, it's mock groping her. i'm sure if that were a conservative senator from let's say who had a photo mock groping someone, that's how the msnbc kids would describe it, correct? >> absolutely, laura. you know, people have been talking about this

comparison between roy moore and al franken today. and everybody is weighing in on it. here's what i have to say. roy moore is a candidate for the united states senate. and al franken is a seated united states senator. i never understood, i stead this before. i didn't understand why people would elect him. it was a fair election. but now here's the consequence all these years later. we know who he was. we knew then. and now people are getting to see -- the rest of the country is getting to see who he is as well. >> laura: i think we have donald trump just tweeted about this. i'm trying to pull it up on my phone. we will put up the full screen so we can read it. the al frankenstein picture is really bad. speaks a thousand words. where did his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 while she sleeps? so, that's the president always giving us humorous

commentary there this is something he said in 1995. again, we want to paint for the fox viewers the picture of the whole person over a course of time. not just in this one incident. this is what was said. the new york magazine article. and he said and i give the pills to leslie stall then when leslie is passed out. i take her to the closet and rape her or that's why you never see leslie until february. when she passes out i put her in various positions and take pictures of her. i guess that's supposed to be funny, guys. but, again, it speaks to the mind set of the man and, i mean, i don't know if the democrats are going to do anything about this. i guess some of them came out and were disgusted today. they certainly had a lot more to say about roy moore. that's for sure. melanie and brian thanks for being on tonight. thanks for your work on this and melanie thank you for sharing your story. >> you are welcome.

>> laura: for the past two nights, we have been bringing you stories of harassment on capitol hill

and the news about senator al franken today underscores the importance of our reporting. tonight another woman joins us to speak about her experience. show claims a former congressman asked her to perform for him. at the time she knew nothing of the congressional setup to deal with incidents like this. but she is joining us now. rebecca weir is making these accusations and we're also joined by attorney les alderman who has been litigating case is thunsd congressional accountability act for the last 15 years. les and rebecca, good to see both of you. rebecca, let's start with you. tell us your story and it happened quite a while ago in 2000, i believe. tell us the facts. >> yes. so, it was right out of college. i was eager to get my first job. i was a government major so i knew i wanted to work in public service. i found congressman miller's office. it was a great fit. i was eager to work there i was proud to work there i

loved working there and i excelled at my job while i was there. we came -- the member was in d.c. he was coming back for the august recess. and i was eager to talk to him because i had been working on a proposal for several weeks before he had returned to the district. so i went to his office to give the presentation. as i was walking out, after the presentation was over, he stopped me and he said wow, rebecca, you just look amazing. i mean just really stunning. would you mind just twirling for me and i was wearing a dress suit at the time. and i was stunned. i didn't know what to do. i was a 22-year-old, inexperienced and this was a member that i respected and he was doing really great work in office.

i didn't know what else but to comply with his request. >> laura: so he asked you, let me paint the picture for our listeners, he asked you in the hallway? >> no. this was his office. >> laura: his office to twirl. who even says something like this. that's so stupid. you look amazing, look great, twirl. i mean, that's just -- that's an odd thing to say first of all, so you are 22 and so you twirl fast? slow? how did you twirl? what was the twirl like? >> i'm sure it was fast because i was so humiliated by the experience. >> laura: yeah. >> i was very aware of the fact that in just a few seconds i had gone from young professional to a piece of meat. i felt like he was undressing me with his eyes. i tried leave as fast as i could. i went back to my desk. i sat down. i tried to regroup and while i was trying to make heads

or tails of the situation i got a phone call from our d.c. office informing me congratulations, rebecca, we don't know what you did, but gary just called and he wants to give you a bonus effective immediately. and it gutted me at the time because i knew exactly what i had done. i twirled for him. i let myself be reduced to essentially a piece of meat. i'm sorry to interrupt. we have got get to les. before we get to les, rebecca, did you take the bonus. >> you know, i really grappled with this and i hated i was in the situation of having to choose between thigh economic stability and integrity. i was 22 years old. i didn't have a choice. i was fresh out of college. >> laura: i'm not criticizing you. i think this is so outrageous that this happens

on capitol hill. but i want to get -- >> -- and it's not unique. >> laura: yeah. we are finding out it's all too common. and there is a lot worse than twirling going on as well. les, i want to get in with this with you. you litigate these cases. they can be as quick as an encounter as a lehrer and twirl, i guess or something much more involved. how many people have come to you over the past 15 years and alleged these type ofs of incidents? >> you know, we don't keep the numbers for harassment versus discrimination versus retaliation. but i can tell you that numerous women have come forward not only who work in congress but who work in other areas of capitol hill, the actor tech of the capital, the library of congress. support, capital police. this is happening in all of these places. all i can say is right now when all of these brave women are coming forward and shining the spotlight on

what's happening, this is when we have to do something to fix the situation, to make it better because i'm sorry, but four weeks from now the news cycle is going to move on. we're going to be on the next crisis or the next story and no one is going to care anymore. so, we need to fix this situation now. we need to strengthen the law now. we need to expand the protections to these unpaid interns. these fellows who currently are not covered by the law we need to remove that confidentiality provision so women don't have to fear speaking out about their cases and about their claims. we have to make sure that everyone who is working on the hill understands that if they think they may be discriminated against or they may be being harassed that there is a place for them to go, that they have rights, that they can ultimately file a lawsuit and let the bright light of

litigation bring their cases forward. and that's unfortunately has not happened. >> laura: okay. i want to get back to rebecca. do you know other women during the time that you worked on the hill who experienced something like what you experienced or worse? and how many? >> yes. >> laura: approximately? >> yes, of course. i hate to say this but almost all of us had our own stories. that's how pervasive this culture of harassment is. this is the quintessential old boy's club. it has probably been this way since its inception, given the power dynamics at play. and it has, as les was just talking about. there is no check. there is no accountability. there is no reason that anyone would avoid these kinds of behaviors. it's totally unaccountable. in. >> laura: rebecca your congressman was congressman maloy? i couldn't hear.

>> congressman gary miller. >> laura: yeah, yeah. gary miller. you are still friends with him still, aren't you? you still respect him still. >> yes, i do. i'm glad you asked that question. you know, he is a good man and good men sometimes act badly i think that's the case here. my motivation in coming forward is not to grind an ax, a 15-year-old ventricle detective attachment i'm here to help empower women coming after me. the 22-year-olds today who work on the hill to let them speak in the moment and know they are important. they can come out and have options available to them. >> laura: that's pretty big of you to be -- yeah. and it's really incredible of you to be friends with him. i mean, that's amazing. i mean, that says a lot about you. you look past that but a lot of people have gone through a lot of bad stuff on capitol hill and i want the people's names.

i don't want the confidentiality. i want all the names because the settlements are paid but we don't know who the names are and that is outrageous. both of you thank you for joining us. up ahead, we are out in l.a. where legalized marijuana use is exploding. but what are the consequences? is it all hunky-dory? i will pass judgment on legal advocate next. happy? wooo! let out your inner child at the lexus december to remember sales event. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. what comes to mind?aving time and money, whatever it is, aarpadvantages.com can help you save both along the way. so when you get there, you can enjoy yourself all the more. for less. we35 mules,ur doors with 70 mega-watts, and an ice plant.

>> laura: we're introducing a new segment tonight, one in which i play a judge. isn't that frightening? we're calling it the arbiter. i forgot my gavel. they didn't let me check it on the overhead on united. i don't have the gavel. i have it back in washington. as you can see we are here in l.a. and currently one of the hottest markets for marijuana. the city's lawmakers recently approved new rules

to regulate and legitimize the canabis industry ahead of january's full legalization of recreational use in the state of california. in tonight's arbiter segment attorney leo terrell thinks marijuana legalization should be expanded even further than it is. he joins me in studio and in d.c. horace cooper, the co-chair of project 21. a black conservative leadership network takes the opposing view. okay, gentlemen. first arbiter segment. don't be nervous now. >> i won't. >> laura: leo, why should marijuana use be legal and expand it. >> your honor, very simply. the federal rules are outdated. who better to know than the state. let the state decide. you know what? marijuana should be decriminalized. it has been. several states allow it it be used legally for recreational use because it's no longer the boogie man. it doesn't lead to harder crimes. it's not the situation where marijuana leads to harder crimes or cocaine. i'm submitting to you that

the states are in a better position to regulate it, take the criminal element out of it. it is the best for the states to do it and i know you agree with it let's not have washington in charge of what goes on in every state. >> laura: today's marijuana is not the marijuana of the woodstock day. it's a much more potent, much more powerful, the thc levels of marijuana smoked, you know, all those years ago about 11% weaker on average. and colorado is reporting 32% increase in marijuana-related traffic deaths from 2003. it goes on and on. increase in marijuana related hospital stays. increes in marijuana related emergency room visits. that's what we need more of in america. >> i read that same article. even though let's deal with the traffic accidents. even though they said a higher use of people using marijuana, they are not saying the causation of the traffic accidents were caused by marijuana. i read that same exact article. >> laura: all those things are okay. horace, you get your opening

statement. >> it's not about whether it's the federal government or the state government. the real question is what's its impact on the local community. if you are coming up with a program for making sure that our working class, our communities of color, and many areas of the inner city just get lost because they're left behind, because of the effects of marijuana, legalization is the way to do that. every study shows that you see a decline in academic performance, a larger number of people who participate regularly are showing they are not graduating from high school. we are now in a situation in america for graduate school stem, that's stins engineer mechanical a majority of those are foreigners. americans aren't available to step up to the plate. we should not be doing

things that have a clear correlation to failure in the academic world as well as helping people get on the track to self-responsibility and independence. >> horace, my follow up to you is, yeah, i think a lot of that is true. however, you know, alcohol causes huge problems. we had prohibition. that didn't work. so why not try to take the criminal element out of this and legalize it? that way you can have more educational campaigns and get people on the same page. >> see, this isn't about whether or not it is democraticallyized. the question is this grammization. that is something i have watched the pot her here to leaders. over young people beings closing people need to may on thoong.

more than employers than ever are drug testing. you um prevent yourself from being able to get that good job and earn that independence. >> he makes the argument president youth. the studies being done by psychiatric sources and professors. psychiatric disorders, bipolar disorder. schizophrenia, there is increasing body of evidence that indicates there is a correlation, especially in the developing mind. so with all the challenges, leo, we have in this country today, why would increasing the use of marijuana, which it does among young people when you legalize it, why would that be good for society? forget about the semantic argument about states rights versus the federal government. for society. given the medical evidence that is mounting out there? >> good question public health including colorado. even though the increased use of marijuana was, done what, reduce you had the amount of opioid use.

that's a significant factor. the big the marijuana reduction has made a significant impact on that. for him to sit there, laura, and say that he represents 21 states there are people who wants this. >> laura: big money wants it. big weed. billions and billions of dollars are on the line. >> the gallup polls are very clear. people want. this. >> we will see. colorado is suffering. they are i will give you the last word wanted a you can wrap up, horace and i will give you my verdict. >> the national institute for health has doom study after the last weekend. ciewpghtd to achieve lower graduation lalts and performance lefltsz on if test. miewp is a gras way to accomplish that we are on a employable station where the

individuals who illegally entered as unaccompanied alien children. maybe they would fall under the daca program. by the way, only five of the 198, excuse me, only 56 the 200 were other than illegal aliens. so this is big news. he had a big press conference today. we are going to ask our next guest about this and the daca question. this is all coming to a head right now. we have 800,000 undocumented people brought here when they were young by their parents. and it's one of the biggest issues facing the lawmakers this falling. it is a struggle in this entire debate. is there going to be a compromise to give daca amnesty to 800,000 of these young people that would include enforcement or blank check amnesty. joining me is david ballot congressman from the commonwealth of virginia. he joins us to discuss this good news on the round up.

200 ms-13 gang members. they are the most vicious of the vicious gangs globally let alone u.s just in the united states. that is good news for the trump administration and for this country. >> yep, absolutely, lauren. i know you have been working on this for decades and league the fight u it ultimately is about the rule of law and economics as well. the left talks about living wage, et cetera, and ignores the millions of folks coming in and putting pressure to lower wages. at the same time they are trying to help the american worker. this was a key election piece of my campaign. you, of course, played a huge role in that and president trump ran on this on with the republican house and senate and house we are discussing right after tax cuts to do a democrat bill on damascusca. kind of astounding. >> jillian: yeah. >> justth minimum pieces that should demand ending

regarding immigration enforcement. he doesn't compromise. he doesn't back off. he doesn't say he is going to deport all the dreamers either. he didn't do that i don't think most people are asking for that. it is astounding that the g.o.p. obsess he is about what to do with the dreamers when we have all these other things we need to do. i mean, obamacare repeal. we need to do a real, real confirmation he is of people to staff these departments who are now -- that are now being undermined by obama appointees. we have a lot to do. republicans are always obsessed about doing more for illegal aliens. i know it sounds harsh. this focus with the person people. get the criminals out of this country. i find it stunning. they are like giving away out star before you even get to the main problem which is enforcement.

stop them though turn and it around. i'll going to take care of the dreamers is what whuch set. they et taken care of. you don't have to rush that. >> as you know all your listens, this is the central issue. or irches inch are important to get that. this is the one that separates the swamp from the will of the american people this wasn't just trump this was bernie through trump. bernie was trending and the thing was rigged on the democrat side. he was trying to represent the workers on that side, on a more progressive central planning big government kind of solution. and then president trump fortunately won and getting tax cuts. the other side of the aisle, just so the folks know this weeks, the democrats raised taxes 10 trillion. raised spending 11 trillion and ended up with more debt and deficit than we too.

immigration fits into this. it's kind of a bank shout. we are not doing well. our welfare system is broke. people are leaving the workforce. >> laura: dave, they wants -- out democrats need an infusion of new voters. republicans want the cheap labor. because apparently if wages go up for most republicans that's a bad thing. i want wages so go up for the american that's correct i'm telling you my radio listeners, i most viewers are sake of think. they just rev to. president trump's trip to ash he is getting trashed by the suspects. richard last, never trumper types. they didn't get anything from china. made a trip to north korea. may be working on some type of deal with the cabbage paragraph president of nowk. what do you think of the
