>> hi, everyone, president trump reversing course and he's now throwing his full support behind alabama senate candidate roy moore. they lost one of the longest serving members. as you can see on the run down. the republican national committee re established support for alabama senate candidate roy moore. this is the wrong video here. this is actually video of john conyers who as you know earlier today announced his retirement. we're going to talk a little bit more about that coming up. first if we can get back to the rnc. as you know they initially cut ties' they accused roy of sexual

. president trump tweeted his support for moore and tweeted \another\ear will push forward on tax reform and immigration. >> and the ton see one on skype mike is a republican, anton is a democrat. let's start off first and foremost, a little bit of a reverse course and even mitchell mcconnell before when he called for roy moore to pull out of the race he said let's let the people of alabama say. receipts ' start with you. roy moore is a very problematic candidate. it remains to be see what happens when he gets here to shall what than to. i agree at this point your option is between the seat flipping to the democratic side or roy mower coming in and figuring out how to deal with that member of the senate once he gets here. there are so many things on the table that need to be resolved annulus sing that vote in that seat, especially in

just something that can't be tolerated. i think the establishment has flipped. they've gone all in for moore. the president has directed the r nc to do that. i think roy moore will be elected to the united states senate and it remains to be seen when his case is referred to the senate ethics committee. what does this say about our society or the republican party as a hoavment first the rnc says we're not going to get behind him. president trump decided to endorse him and now they're behind him because they want to make sure that a republican gets into office. is this more about politics than it is integrity. once again the republican party is putting politics ahead of do ing the right thing. my problem on the right side roy mower is probleatic and he's saying we're going to put politics before doing the right thing and set an example for the american people and trying to change a culture. we've seen this movie before. we've seen the rnc pull back on their initiative when the

out against president trump last year during the general election campaign and yet they've gone full blast. i'm really not surprised. president trump never ran away property candidate in alabama a. i knew at some point he was going to double down. butt message the g op is trying to send in this regard is very hypocritical. >> might nomry came out and slammed the gop and said roy mower would be a stain on the nation. lee gor form and other victims are courageous victims. we're on the press piss on some important things to be done on the people of the united states the future of the country. >> absent ton, let him go. the future of the country is much more particular than the senate seat. we have the

that the case of al franken who admits to all the accusations unlike judge mower who is con testing the allegations. that case being referred to the ethics committee. i think that's the appropriate place for this to be handled at this time. the people of alabama will make a decision as to who they want to represent them. i'm 99 percent confident that they will chose judge mower. itself arrested on an outstanding up to the people. q. i want to point something out. the president has said roy mower or excuse me, doug jones, the democratic nominee is weak on certain things. he mentioned he's weak on crime. worth mentioning that doug joins a prosecutor, prosecuted four men prosecuted to the killings of four young girls at the hands of the klu klux klan. that said, anton was never actually charged with anything. you're saying that

serving. >> absolutely, again, i go back to my earlier point. this is about changing a culture about how we deal with these allegations going forward. it's sad that we're having this conversation. number two, i heard speaker ryan call for the resining of john conyers and the pressure was ramped on hivment he retired today, resigned and so form. why not try to set an example. why make this about certain individuals and not about others? i think we have to start setting an example. we all have a role in the us congress. unfortunately some of the allegations of some of the members are brought to light, however, i do not think it's a good thing for them to backtrack and send a message to little girls who may be watching across the country that this is okay and accept it in the go op party >> i'm going to have to agree with you. i know sometimes we

can't go back and forth. if social media one minute you say you believe those women and then the next minute you say it's more important to have a republican in office. >> we have to cut you off. we talked too long and our producer is giving us the wrap. always a pleasure to have you guys on the show. >> let's get to the shakeup in the house of representatives embattled john conyers is re tiring following allegations of sexual misconduct. he won't seek rehe election. he says the retirement, though, is not in response to pressure from his colleagues to resign. instead he insists he's retiring due to poor health. he called into a detroit radio show today to make the announcement. whatever they are, they are not accurate or they're not true. my legacy can't be compromised or diminish ed in any way by

we're going through now. this, too, shall pass. >> and we should point out that there was a settlement paid out, taxpayer money in regards to certain al gaitions made against the congressman. he is now endorsing his son to take his seat in congress. we'll have to do when to decide a special election for that. this goes back to the whole culture of what we're talking about from hollywood to capital hill and certainly in every day life with the whole culture of what's been coming to light. if we continue to allow the behavior, what does it say to those women, to those men who are victims out there if nothing changes? i this i we should point out, too, this is a problem on both sides of the aisle. you had accident isabella has ter, the former speaker of the house, ended up going to jail for paying out hush money in regards to sexual misconduct years and years and years ago when he was a coach. >> right. something has to change somewhere. >> there are new numbers out somewhere t

administration crack down on i am graition is producing good results. the hard line enforcement is unfair but immigration officials in the district, in the district's region promise they are just getting started on this. tom fitzgerald is live. >>reporter: the trump administration has been coming up on this one-year mark next month and looking for things to highlight. they may have found it today and this comes in the form of immigration enforcement there was a new report release today showing what immigration customs border patrol has been up to over the past year and these are simply stunning numbers. consider this, they have a 93 percent increase in the amount of people who have been arrested for immigration violations. they also reported today an 83 percent increase in the number of p people who have been arrested for being in connection with a violent street gang ms13. here at ice headquarters where this report was release the director of ice thomas

, in his view his agency under the trump presidency in his view is unleashed and allow to pursue what he says was their mission from day one. if you're in this country illegally and you enter this country illegally which is a crime within itself, let's remember that and yet you commit another crime against a citizen sense r against this country. there's no pre-requisite to commit another crime? how dot numbers break down in our area? look at this, d.c. and virginia, they wind up combining those numbers because of the way they do enforcement here. you're looking at more than 4,000 people arrested in d.c. and virginia, over in maryland 1,666. what was also very interesting about this today is what was not up. illegally border crossings, they were way down. in fact, down so low it is the lowest level customs and brder protection has ever reported. that led to a

are down and down in historic levels do we still need president trump's much talked about border wall? customs and border protection, though, pushed back very hard on that question saying it is a key component of the strategy they say right now is working. it's good that the numbers are down, that the border is in more control than it's been in quite some i am too, about you this is a time for us to accelerate those gains and having the enforcement and having the equipment for our agents to operate safely will prevent future problems for us. we should tell you you not everybody was happy about this report today. the protestor immigration group casa they came out with arrested on an outstanding sticking statement saying that ice has been more than happy to diem great the united states of america. they are planning on a major rally, jim and shawn up on capital hill tomorrow at noon. they still want some answers about what's going to be done

plan, which as we know is going to be needed done by march because we're coming up on a deadline on that one as well. >> fitz, thank you much. >> it is a case that has sparked debate nationwide. the us supreme court is hearing arguments between a colorado baker and a gay couple whod ask ed h i am to make their wedding cake. we'll be right back.

a high profile high scoarlt dulling protest. a colorado baker refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple. the scum sued and now the us supreme court is hearing their case. the aclu is representing that couple. it's argument is that the public or public businesses do not get to pick and choose who they serve in the name of religious liberty. i'm here at the supreme court today because i respectfully decline to create a custom cake that would celebrate a few of marriage in dire

core teachings on marriage. we were hurt and felt rejected and we felt like second class citizens in our society. this will be one of the biggest cases dealing with gay rights since the supreme court legalized same sex marriage in 2015. >> and the baker if question said not only would he do that for a same -- \he\e refused to do that, but he said second marriages, doesn't do cakes for halloween. he was trying to make the case it was not one issue, but more or less wide ranging. the olympic committee suspended russia. the state sponsored doapg program. in can pennsylvania, some russian athletes will be allow to compete in the games, but as neutral competitors. they will compete under the title and have to wear titles that have to say olympic athlete from russia. they will not technically represent russia. they will represent themselves. come on

the president loves his titles and there's one competition he was sure to win, but he lost. we'll take a look at what's twending tonight when 5@6:30 comes right back.

after a long break out of the spotlight former today show co host billy bush resurfaced last night on the late show with steven colbert. bush wrote an op ed in the new york times. yes, donald trump you you said that. that came as a report by the times that source said the president privately questioned whether that in mustily hollywood tape is real. he said is reports of pupt's comments infuriated him. all of these women came out with their names and told their detailed accounts . when he said this it infuriated me on the personal front and then i

googling and i read an article with awful these women's accounts because when that article first came out it was 13 daze after i had been fired so i was in my own personal shock, fighter flight and so i never really read it all the way and as i read these i said 20 women don't get together and say wee it would be really fun, let's take down a powerful guy together. no, they don't. i said, okay. you're reopening wounds on them, too. enough is enough. stop playing around. ( applause) with people's live. bush said he would like to add that that's not him on the tape as well. >> but says quote you don't get to say that. that is your voice . i was there. it is interesting to see him come back out. people were speculating. do you think we'll see him back in this sort of entertainment news kind of position he's in or is he looking at politics in the

particulate of the bush family. when you look at the whole situation -- billy bush was an after thought. nobody thought about that again. and then the president, there's a not of media savvy, but that is not a smart thing to reopen. why would you reopen that? why? the year end lists are pouring out and now twitter is listing the most reliked tweets. >> the president didn't make the list. former president barack obama. the most tweeted was from the 17 year old nevada man he tweeted wendys how many tweets he would need to get free chicken mack nuggets. wendys responded with 18 million re tweets. he got a little more than 3.6 million. >> second on the list of the most retweets out t

ed 1.7 million times. that went out over the summer not too long after we saw everything in charlottesville. q. ronica, you talked about the supreme court cake case earlier tonight and i wanted to ul contact it pulse of the pastry. we unfortunately cannot use that here. >> i love it. go for it. jim and shawn, i love you both much let's reduce the banter when i'm standing in the rain. i'm sorry >> i didn't know it was raining, ronica. it's dry in here, sorry >> i didn't, either so i'm not dressed for it. i'm kidding. it's actually a really nice night, just a little drizzle. i'm on a different story for you now, bringing a little different insight from what people are talking about. when i saw the headline about the most retweet ed tweets i was quite surprised the president didn't make the list. i did look into the most retweeted tweet from the president.

real donald trump account. it was that tweet of that 30-second video of him wrestling a man with the cnn logo on his face. how could you forget it. he then retweeted that from the poad us account or whoever manages that for him much and that was his most retweeted tweet at about 3,606,000 re tweets. that did not get him on that top ten list as you said , which surprised me. let's see what other people thought. take a lines. it's a little surprising, yes. i'm not on twitter, so probably not the best person to ask. i read that president trump didn't tweet it out. that would be my advice to him. are you surprised in. >> not at all. they hate trump everybody -- they all hate him so it doesn't surprise me at all >> but i am pro-trump. >> i am very surprised. i thought it definitely would shall
