it's ali and then the chance start to go up. ali, ali, ali and it's as if we rediscovered him. we have forgiven all of the horrible things he said even those of us who thought he was a traitor for his stance on vietnam. you have to admit, this guy took his punches and there he is with his hand shaking. he can't quite light the torch and it looks like he will set himself on fire and we are worried he will be able to pull it off, but he gets it lit and the crowd roars and it's in that moment that all the is rediscovered and it's in that moment, i mean, the next day you can see from the press coverage that he becomes the teddy bear that we want to put our arms around him. i would argue we got only one to remember him as the teddy bear. we want to remember him for the warrior he was and it's a great that he was willing to do this and let us see him suffering and to let us see what this parkinson's disease and what the punches had done to him, but that's not who he really was or why he matters today. 1p i needed to do in working on this book was not only interview his wife and broth

ali. ali. ali. it is if we rediscovered him. we forgot him and we forgiven him and we forgiven all the horrible things he said and even those of us who thought he was a traitor for his stance on vietnam and you have to admit this guy took his punches and there he is with his handshaking and he can't quite like the torch and it looks like you set himself on fire in the flame keeps picking up his arm and were worried that he will not pull it off to get the thing lit and the crowd begins to floor. in that moment ali is rediscovered. it's in that moment in the next day you can see from the press coverage that he becomes the teddy bear we want too put his our arms around him. i would argue we don't want to remember him as a taper. and remember him for the warrior that he was. it's great that he was willingnd to do this and let us see him suffering to let us see what this disease what parkinson's and always purchase had done to him but that is not he really wass and not why he matters today. one of the things we needed to do working o

that is a mohammed ali joke. it is important as a biographer to recognize you do not have much in common with your subject usually. the job of a biographer is to understand the subject the best you can, often from a distance. that means really paying attention to the facts, doing your research. i did 600 interviews with 200 individuals. i interviewed many of them over and over. i counted the number of times he was punched. i worked with speech scientists to look at how they affected his speech rate. i dove as deeply into his life as i could because the biographer's job is to help you understand a person's life and how it was shaped and how it shaped us as a country and the people. with mohammed ali, one of the most important men of the 20th century i would argue, was a huge responsibility. the really important piece of biographer has to keep in mind is empathy. you have to try to empathize with your subject. doesn't mean you have to always celebrated more excuse him. the job is not to glorify were pretty him up.

ali? >> no claim of responsibility you're saying. >> no claim of responsibility there but egypt has been no stranger to islamic state insurgencies. they have killed hundreds of police and soldiers there over the years and also just getting reports from reuters that we can't confirm right now that the egyptian military has started airstrikes in the area around that mosque in the mountainous area where they believe that some of these militants may be hiding out. but we've yet to confirm that ourselves yet. >> all right. stand by, ali. let's go to jacob. he is on the ground in cairo. jacob, what are you hearing from where you are? >> what we are hearing is that this is a very strategic attack. if you look at where the attack is, ali, it's basically between the palestine egypt border and gaza and the capital of cairo itself. and it's an attack on a mosque. it's the first big attack on the mosque in decades in egypt. and it's actually a sectarian kind of war fare coming to egypt. not only again

( laughs ) >> lapook: --is that possible? you're flying through the air. >> aly raisman: i don't know. you know, it doesn't scare me on floor. but it scares me on bars. >> lapook: her hard work and dedication landed her a spot on the u.s. team for the london olympics in 2012. during the qualifying round in london, this video of her parents, lynn and rick raisman, went viral. >> lynn raisman: let's go, let's go, catch it! >> lapook: at the london olympics, you became perhaps the most famous cheering section in history. stick it, please! stick it! yeah! >> rick raisman: i just think we got caught up in the moment. the amount of pressure and, you know, that she was under at that time, it's just not easy for us to watch. >> lapook: in the first key test in london, the team finals, aly's pe

ali? >> yes, so we're looking for motive. we're looking for how he got his hands on a gun when the governor of texas said this morning on texas, that his bad conduct discharge from the air force three years ago should have prevented that. we'll stay on all the angles of the investigation. mariana, thanks. be with you in just a bit. >>> this morning we are learning more about the man behind the carnage. justice correspondent pete williams is digging into that side of things from the washington bureau. pete, what do we know? >> well, they still haven't searched his house, ali. they are hoping that will provide more insight into why he did this. but he does appear to be a person who had a violent and troubled past. we know he's 26 from comal county, texas. served in the air force, but was discharged after he was court-martialed, accused of assaulting his wife and child. he was given a bad conduct discharge. that by itself, the bad conduct discharge by itself, would not be a disqualifying fact

ened so far, ali, no firm answers from the air force. ali?s, we know that this -- if this had taken place in the civilian justice system, he would have been in a system that would have prevented him from getting a weapon. i guess the question is, is this just a matter of the military maybe not having sent that information over? or do we actually know whether these sorts of convictions under a court-martial tlelead to the e consequences as in the civilian justice system? >> reporter: it varies state by state. they're trying to ascertain at the air force, was this information transferred to the relevant authority. on the lautenberg side of this, the idea he was convicted of a crime of domestic violence is something that should be transmitted to something called the texas crime information center as well as the national crime information center. that would be the right way to do it. they still can't tell us at the air force whether or not these transfers were made and what administrative changes potentially they consider to make sure they make t

he heard ali's story and sent $2,600 for his trim. in our area he's already visit -- trip. in our area he's already visited little barrel and little washington. >> the waiter explained what the chef wanted from this dish and then he explained what it does whenever it goes in my mouth, like what happened in my palate and i'm like wow, cool, thanks. that whole interaction, whole experience is the best thing. >> reporter: ali has five more rounds of chemotherapy scheduled. stuck in the hospital the map is the motivator. >> it's really like all the chemos lead up to these -- then i go to this restaurant and they it's like i'm just working my way up back to get another meal. >> reporter: even cancer can't sour his spirit. in fairfax, whitney wild, wusa9. >> looks good. you did it >> ali and his mom jennifer say they could start that road trip as soon as february once he's finished with his chemo. >> we wish him many more happy, healthy meals. >>> for the past couple weeks we've been trying a little experiment. we're surprising strangers and with their help spreading some acts of

>> it doesn't go over well at all, ali. frankly, i commanded that mission, as the nato commander, that's a nato mission. i had 150,000 nato troops, about 100,000 americans. i assure you, they were fighting to win every minute of every moment. under previous presidents. i think this is just an example of our current president trying to score cheap political points by mismessaging what is happening. in fairness, there is an uptick, small uptick, in tactical activity, but to impugn the desire of our troops to win throughout this 17-year journey we've had in afghanistan is unsettling to any active duty military or those like me who served previously. >> the presiding general, nicholson, in afghanistan has told hans nichols he feels they're in a stalemate. given what he asked the president for, but that there's a stalemate there. what breaks the stalemate there? given that this is, by the way, one of the hardest places to get the upper hand in, in all of history. >> we're going to need a little bit more air power to maintain the

with me this morning, my partner, ali velshi in sutherland springs, texas, ali. >> stephanie, the scene of the worst mass shooting in the history of this state. it unfolded less than 24 hours ago. federal investigators are now here on the scene in sutherland springs searching for evidence and a motive after a gunman identified as 26-year-old devin k kelley walked into the first baptist church just over my shoulder here in sutherland springs and opened fire with an assault rifle. the sheriff said kelly's former in-laws had attended the church, the first evidence of a connection between the gunman and his target. now, we know the gunman was dressed in all black. he was wearing tactical gear and a ballistic vest. when he walked into the church, just after the 11:00 a.m. local service had begun. 26 people were killed, including eight from one extended family. he walked down the center aisle, shooting members of the congregation as he went. one official said there was likely no way for people to escape. as he left the church, the gunman was confronted by a local resident who shot at him with

>> yes, ali. it also references the denials as part of the things damming about roy moore in the whole episode. the tweet from a few minutes ago from claire mccaskill, democratic senator from missouri and former district attorney in kansas city, a prosecutor who tweets, as an experienced sex crime prosecutors i recognize the shifts in roy moore's "de "denia "denials" they completely undermine his comments. he doesn't belong in the senate, period. most democrat wos not want to see roy moore here at all, but, it goes to the basis of this. the senate is all about relationships. 100 senators. it's a small group. it's very difficult to fathom someone like a claire mccaskill sitting across a committee room from someone like roy moore, who she says xzibexhibits the trait sexual predators she used to prosecute. this is not typical right/left partisanship. incredibly strong language. >> even before this stuff, roy moore is not your regular republican. he is -- he's displayed. >> reporter: no. far from t. h

ali's from canada. >> i understand that. and ali's also spent time in other countries. >> so have i. >> it's not a bad thing. >> i don't know where you're going with this trenton. >> here's to answer your question. he said no, comma. so he answered no. and then he went on to say his process would be before he went on to date anybody whether they were 25, 35, or whether he doesn't know their age, he would ask the mother's permission. he actually answered no. there's no inconsistency in that. and i stand by the answer to me it's the most appropriate -- >> you know what, sir? i have not spent time in alabama and that is your community. you have young daughters. if your daughter was 14, would you think it's appropriate that she date a man in his 30s? would you think it was normal that a random man sign her yearbook? >> i would say no. if someone came to me like what was postulated there saying could i date your daughter? i would say no. like my wife and i. when we courted we did not know each other's age. i was 29 at the time an

>> reporter: exactly, ali. new this afternoon, communications director john rodgers left the campaign. he's no longer with it. you should know this is the second communicationses director to depart the campaign. the first communications director left after the runoff victory. i should note that what is, i think we should take away from this, the fact there are just six individuals working on roy moore's campaign. a typical senate office consists from 25 to 40 individuals. looking at this, you're trying to come up with, what does a campaign look like and ultimately come to with roy moore just a month from now were to go to the u.s. senate? ali. >> interesting, vaughn. wherever you stand on the roy moore matter and whatever you think of roy moore, being a communications adviser on that campaign, particularly with a small staff, has to be a very tough job right now. >> reporter: yeah. i mean, there's an inundation of local press, international press. a focus on this campaign. this individual, john rogers, is from

here's the deal, ali. on these phones that require a code to open f the fbi can just try to keep guessing number combinations, depending on whether it's four or six numbers that can take longer. but if you input a sufficient number of wrong guesses it basically fries the phone's brain and you can never get into it. >> right. >> this has been a long standing problem for law enforcement and there are hundreds and holdups of phones in police and fbi crime labs that cannot be open. now i'm told that the fbi is somewhat optimistic they will be able to get into this phone. we will have to wait and see how that plays out. you might remember in the terror attack in new york, safullo saipov, they did get into his phone very quickly and got an amazing amount of information out of that. there is a reason for that. he failed to lock it, authorities tell us. i want to go back on a couple other points you have just been talking about. number one, yes it's true the police report says the information about kelley getting

i'm ali velshi. getting right to it. minutes away from the first white house briefing in two weeks and plenty of questions need answers. one of the biggest what does the president think about roy moore and al franken. questions continue to be asked of him while on capitol hill making a last pitch to republicans ahead of their tax bill that passed through the house. still must go through the senate, and roy moore is accused again for sexual harassment. moore is there along with pastors and we're expecting to hear from him and will bring that to you. a new accusation against democratic senator al franken. a radio newscaster alleges senator franken kissed and groped her without her consent when he was a comedian on a uso tour before elected senator. >> we were backstage alone, because he's like, okay, we're going to get ready and then they introduce us. we come through a backstage door and open up into the crowd. on the stage. and the back stage area was actually part of a gym. that's sort of how these makeshift places are

i'm ali velshi. >> and i'm stephanie ruhle. today is november 16th, 2017. let's get started. beginning with new developments in the roy moore scandal. this morning four more women are emerging with allegations against alabama's republican senate candidate roy. well, he's denying sexual misconduct claims. we'll break down the list of accusers in a moment. >> it's getting longer. but first other news in the headlines and the scandal we're still waiting for president trump to comment on. he ignored questions yesterday from kristen welker after he talked 25 minutes about his asia trip. the president's daughter ivanka did weigh in telling the soeshtsed press, quote, there's a special place in hell for people who prey on children. i have yet to see a valid explanation and i have no reason to doubt the victims' accounts. >> on the ground in alabama, the state's 21-member gop central committee met late yesterday to discuss options but took no action. it could have decertified moore which negates any votes he receives. moore's campaign

ali's from canada. >> i understand. and ali's also spent time other countries. >> so have i. >> it's not a bad thing. >> i don't know where you're going with this. >> ooh boy. that was something else. let's bring in phil rucker, white house bureau chief for the "washington post" and msnbc political analyst, ben thrush, white house correspondent for the "new york times," also an nbc political analyst and josh moon, investigative reporter and columnist for the alabama political reporter. well, guys, that was something else. i'm not quite sure how to describe that. but let's talk about the president's position in all of this. glen, does he need to come out and say roy moore should not be a senator for alabama and that he does need to step aside? >> look, i don't know what he needs to say. i do know that his relationship with mitch mcconnell; the president's, has improved over the last few weeks and that the president liked luther strange who is the guy currently warming that seat so he'd also given some indication that he

ali's from canada. >> i understand that. and ali's also spent time in other countries. >> so have i. >> it's not a bad thing. >> i don't know where you're going with this. >> sam, what do you make of this? they're trying to talk about countries where they have harems and -- typically stuff we don't like, and therefore, he's saying ali comes from a background that's different from the caucasian world of north america. whatever they're up to, i don't know ma he's up to. that maybe he would be more sympathetic, or could be accused of being more sympathetic to the idea of going out with 14-year-olds? >> i mean, i'm speechless. >> it's just like. >> well, you know what -- >> you're speechless, sam, but you know and i know what he was up to -- >> everyone knows what he was up to. it's racism, basically. but it also doesn't make any sense? is he saying that roy moore is acceptable because someone of indian descent has got a culture -- i just can't even put -- i can't draw the lines together in my head. maybe i'm slow, but it doesn'

ali? >> that said, the issue here would be whether or not jeff sessions said something under oath that wasn't correct. at the moment we don't have dispute about the fact if he did know about this, his answer is that -- or the answer of sources to whom we've spoken -- say he nixed it, or he didn't encourage it? >> reporter: exactly right. it's not clear whether his position is, if he has recollection of doing that, but everyone agrees he did to that and was aware of it at the time. in other words, he was aware that a junior-level campaign aide proposed a meeting between vladimir putin and donald trump. then the question is, does this fit into a pattern? don't forget, when he was initially asked under oath whether he had any contacts with russians he said he didn't, and then disclosed he had two meetings with the russian ambassador kislyak. why members are interested on exactly what happened and what does sessions remember. >> thank you for joining us. >>> and breaking news, paul manafort an

ali velshi picks things up. i match a big day? >> an hour ago a normal busy day and now a crazy busy day. katy, thank you very much. >>> i'm ali velshi. this man, alabama senate candidate roy moore is under the microscope after troubling new allegations. a troubling report out from the "washington post" just out this afternoon alleged roy moore pursued relationships with four teenage girls three decades ago when he was in his early 30s. the most serious comes from a woman moore encountered a sexual encounter at nujust 14. in an unusual twist, breitbart news issued a rejection before the "washington post" story went online. we'll talk to jill polec later in the show to find out why. roy moore denies all allegations. still, many republicans on the hill say in if they're true, roy moore should step aside and drop out of the race. we're following the story and its developments closely. start with robert costa from the "washington post," the paper that published the story. what did you learn in the story? >> we all learned a lot from t

now let's send it back to ali velshi live on the scene. ali? >> stephanie, 26 lives were lost on sunday morning. 26 lives in roughly 15 seconds. half of them were children including a 18-month-old child. among them was the pastor's daughter annabelle pomeroy, just 14 years old. both of her parents were out of town when the shooting happened. those who knew her described her as quiet and shy but always smiling. at least eight members of one family were killed including brian holcomb, the associate pastor of the church and his wife karla. crystal holcomb was reportedly eight months pregnant when she was shot. she died along with her three chirn while two other family members were killed. among those recovering is 5-year-old ryan ward. he's in stable condition after surviving as katie beck said five gunshot wounds to his stomach, groin and arm. his mother and two sisters were reportedly killed in the shooting. joining me now is beulah wilson, a long time sutherland springs resident. you've been here for 60 years. >> 63. >> 63 years. you know the h

ali picks it up from here. ali? >> thank you, katy. we have more on the worst terrorist attack in new york city since 9/11. at any moment we're going to hear from press secretary sarah huckabee sanders after president trump's blistering comments on not only ending the visa program that got the terrorist into the united states but also talking about sending him to guantanamo bay. >>> representatives from the biggest social platform in the united states are talking about the u.s. and cyber warfare. let's begin with president trump immediately coming out swinging after this terror attack, even suggesting the suspect may end up in guantanamo bay. >> we have to get much tougher. we have to get much smarter, and we have to get much less politically correct. >> do you want to send saipov to gitmo? >> i would certainly consider that. are you sending him to gitmo? i would certainly consider that, yes. >> kristen welker standing inside the briefing room where we're waiting to hear from press secretary sarah huckabee sanders any minute now. i'll

i mean, and ali's face?e of alabama, this is the guy representing roy moore who may become a u.s. senator. that just right there should be disqualifiable. >> here's the good thing, whether it's disqualifiable or not, it's shining a light. it's exposing it. so maybe the people of alabama have been complacent or they've been quiet. but maybe this will give them an opportunity to say we're going to stand up. because this isn't who we are. it's not who our children are. it's not what we want the future to be. the statement like that, ali, he read his background, he read his bio. maybe he looked at his brown skin. that is stunning. it's offensive. frankly, mika, it's flat-out stupid. >> yes, it was pretty stupid. i'll give you ten seconds to get ready for your show. stephanie, thank you very much. willie, it's -- that's like blooper reel stuff except it's not funny because it really happened. >> it's not that hard. the guy said he did some research. go to ali's wikipedia page. you'll find a few things. he's musli

ali, a lot on the agenda. see whether or not the president can stick to t. interesting you point out a difference in format. the pool. not a lot of reporters yelling out a lot of questions. the president has sometimes chosen to talk extensively in these situations. i will say this -- mitch mcconnell implied -- here's the president. let's listen in to the president and talk on the other side. the president of the united states. >>> thank you very much. last night i returned from a historic 12-day trip to asia. this journey took us to five nations to meet with dozens of foreign leaders, participate in three formal state visits and attend three key regional summits. it was the longest visit to the region by an american president in more than a quarter of a century. everywhere we went, our foreign hosts greeted the american delegation, myself included, with incredible warmth, hospitality and most importantly, respect. and this great respect showed very well our country is further evidence that america's renewed confidence and standing in the world has never been

. >>> good afternoon, i'm ali velshi. >> and i'm stephanie ruhle. president trump is back from his big trip to asia and defending his relationship with china and sexual harassment allegations now plague a sitting democrat in the senate and a maverick republican campaigning to join the club. >> but none of that is derailing gop efforts in congress to rework the tax code in time for the christmas holiday, which is where we start. so after passing a tax bill in the house this week, republicans in the senate are ready to vote on their bill after thanksgiving. while the bills do differ, they both dream up all kinds of accounting shenanigans to come under a $1.5 trillion price tag. that's important because that's the maximum amount a republican tax overhaul can add to the deficit over the next ten years without causing republicans to have to reach across the aisle for democratic support because they need more votes. now, one new controversial amendment repealing the obamacare individual mandate. that would free up $338 billion, which would help pay for th

>> i'll let ali answer that. i'm not a canadian. >> what does this say about the current state of american political discourse? >> well, i think what it says, brian, is that unfortunately we have people who are going to be sympathetic to roy moore because they see this as a cultural difference, a mere cultural difference. and that's something i was picking up on over the weekend when the news of this first broke. i actually heard people say well, it was the south, it's different, the '70s. ask they were excusing roy moore's alleged behavior in a way that you think there's almost nothing you can do or be accused of in politics right now that will matter to your core supporters because the line is drawn so brightly. it's either you're with us or you're against us. us versus them. >> our thanks to our initial panel here tonight. another withering day of news to discuss this evening. thank you all so much. >>> coming up, what is steve bannon's role, and how much power does he really exert in donald trump's republican

. >> and i'm ali velshi. it is tuesday, november 7th. let's get started. >> it makes sense for north korea to come to the table and to make a deal that's good for the people of north korea and the people of the world. >> president trump now here on the korean peninsula. >> we have many things happening that we hope, we hope, in fact, i'll go a step further. we hope to god we never have to use. >> avoiding fire and fury rhetoric. instead more subtly touting the american military in the region. >> it has to work out. >> a member of president trump's foreign policy committee said he told several officials he was heading to moscow in july of 2016. carter page. >> a very odd picture of this man emerges. >> here's another russian contact that jeff sessions allegedly knew about. >> those are the hard pieces. because they show the russians working directly to supply information to the trump campaign that will be helpful. >> i was hiding under the benches and i could see him, his feet walking back and forth and through the aisles. >> tell you tha

>> that's correct, ali.is well known for taking stands and taking actions based on his belief that god's law is more important than the law of the united states of america. and so the kind of acts that any other judicial actor in this country i think would have really fallen out of grace for, actions like failing to follow the order of a federal court that you remove a statue of the ten commandments from the alabama supreme court building, or failing to follow the supreme court's decision in the equalit. those sorts of failures to follow the law in this country by a chief justice of the state supreme court are shocking and yet alabama voters have rewarded him by continuing to vote for him. i don't think any of us expected he would turn out to be a child molester. >> an interesting concept. the separation of church and state and the constitutional mandate that the state will impose no religion doesn't mean that people can't be religious and have remarkable religious beliefs but it is actually a serious matter

i'm ali velshi in for brian williams. day 287 of the trump administration brings us new information about the russia investigation and its connection to the current u.s. attorney general. the president's son-in-law and the man who used to run his campaign, among others. let's start with former campaign chairman paul manafort and his associate rick gates. both back in court today. the judge expressed concern about them being a flight risk, so both men will stay on home confinement with gps monitoring until at least next week. we also learned that senior white house adviser jared kushner has already turned over relevant documents to special counsel robert mueller and then there's former trump campaign adviser carter page, who apparently does not want to turn over documents. he spent hours with the house intelligence committee today where one democratic member reportedly said he pleaded the fifth several times when they requested them. page also told the committee that during the presidential campaign he told attorney genera
