brooke? >> just quickly, so we heard -- we've seen that juror who is now out on vacation speaking up and saying she thinks that this will be declared a mistrial and current jurors know that she has said this, yes? >> yes. there's clearly something going on in this jury room. that dismissed juror, she had a long standing vacation which the judge said he was going to honor for quite a while. i talked to her last week and she said, look, there are clear divisions in the jury room. she wanted to acquit across the board. she told me there were others that were with her and so now we see this playing out and we see the effects of the hung jury that she predicted last week, brooke? >> laura jaret, thank you so much in new jersey. >> thanks, brooke. >> now to this. >> two republican senators are now unequivocally speaking out against roy moore. today you have the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and senator susan collins calling for roy moore to drop out. leader mcconnell says he believes the w

brooke? >> so west of japan.t and said the nuclear north nuclear program was more advanced than previously thought. can you tell me more about that? >> yes. there are estimates that north korea might be able to put a nuclear warhead on one of these missiles within a matter of years. so that is a very serious concern. we know that the north koreans can test nuclear weapons, this was their 6th nuclear test, and we know they have been working on ballistic missile. the question is can they stick one of those warheads on the tip of a missile, fire it, and get it to land anywhere near intended tar guest a intended target. and each one they conduct one of these tests they learn more what they can do. i think an um could couple of they were years from being successfully able to fire a warhead with a threat to north korea. and i think the assessments are decreasing that time when they think they might be capable of launching one of these weapons of mass destruction, brooke. >> yeah, admiral kirby, we know when the preside

i'm brooke baldwin. you are watching cnn on this holiday. let's begin with the president giving thanks to americans who often deserve it the most, the u.s. military overseas. he spoke via video conference to troops in iraq, turkey, afghanistan, the arabian gulf and those assisting in syria. as he heaped praise for those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, he also hailed his own part in their success. >> i have to say just directly to the folks in afghanistan, everybody's talking about the progress you've made in the last few months since i opened it up. we opened it up. we said, go ahead, we're going to fight to win. we're not fighting anymore to just walk around, we're fighting to win and you people are really -- you've turned it around over the last three to four months like nobody's seen. and they are talking about it. to you and to all of the marines doing this great work in delivering defeat after defeat to isis, what you're doing with isis is, again, being talked about. we're being talked about

. >> reporter: that's right, brooke. president wants quit work on this tax reform plan that was unveiled by house republicans earlier today. and as you say we expect the president to come out and announce jerome powell federal reserve of governors replacing janet yellen. this will be the first time in years that a president has decided to forego a second term for a sitting chairman of the federal reserve. but jerome powell is pektsed to continue some of the policies as janet yellen. but speaking of policies they have been focused on that in the white house. as you mentioned earlier today the president was welcoming gop lead tours tax about the new tax reform plan. tan the president at one point held up a prop suggesting that most americans will be able to file their taxes on single sheet of paper. here's what happened. >> most americans will be able to file taxes on a single sheet of paper. what do you think about that, kevin? are you still there? or is it going to be a paper and a half? >> here. >> wow. >> postcard. >>

i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. thanks for being with me today. where to begin? we are following breaking news on several major stories. first up here you have em battled senate leader ray moore he's expected to speak at this birmingham press conference. as you have more and more women coming forward with additional sex allegations against him. >>> also today the senatorial franken is apologizing after this news anchor in los angeles accused him of groping her a decade and now they are being felt on capitol hill. here's the photo that's now being circulated. and yes indeed this was then private citizenal franken hands that quite frankly shouldn't have been there. she revealed this picture showing his hands over her chest as she was asleep. on top of all of that the white house today is holding first on camera briefing at the white house in two weeks now that the president is back from his big trip in asia. so we have all of that happening. but let's go straight to capitol hill because we have breaking news. moments ago house of representatives passed plan to over

i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for being with me. we do have breaking news. stunning red flag somehow overlooked and the story out of texas. gunman who murdered 26 peeople inside the church in texas, escaped a mental health facility in 2002. obtained by our cnn affiliate kvia. a police report was written after kelley went missing. officer were told kelley was a danger to him self and others. and quoting this report here, he had already been caught sneaking firearms into hollow man air force base. this report also said this individual made gun threats. also say they are having a hard time accessing the gunman's cell phone. >> the phone of the subject turned over to us, we flew that last night to quantico. process of looking at the phone. unfortunateli unfortunately at this point we are unable to get into the phone. so it says the inscriptions of the phones, law enforcement is increasingly not able to get into these phones. >> despite that, we are learning much more about the shooter's violent past.

he's just released garth brooks the anthology part one, the first five years.book he wrote, which includes music never before released. >> i got to learn a lot about garth, music, actually in there and i was there every day. there's going to be something you're going to learn about >> there's some really good pictures in there, too, like saw really young garth brooks. >> very young. >> really young, like the baby cheeks and stuff. >> i don't have those anymore. >> so much great stuff in the book. and fun tidbits like how an episode of oprah on about what -- actually inspired one of his hits "somewhere other than tonight." >>> later, more from my garth exclusive. what gets him all choked up. >> it's sweet. a lucky man right there. >> aww. candid camera embrace. fashion flashback. the "full house" stars' least favorite looks of all-time. >> that was my -- this is a major miss. >>> but first, grab your tissues for this emotional look at tonight's "this is us," the story of kate's miscarriage. >> make sure you ask when will the baby move so i can say hopefully as s

i'm albert brooks. speaking to you on behalf of the famous school for comedians. >> one of the first things i ever saw him do was the school for comedians. >>et's see how these kids are doing. >> he was walking past the spit take class. >> i just walked into the room. now, start to drink. good. now, i speak. guess what? i just heard from a bank and not only don't you have any money, but your sister is dead. that was funny. >> what was special was his singular style. this was alternative comedy, for sure. >> during the next hour you will see the first in a series of programs entitled "an american family." >> albert had been watching "an american family," which was the first reality show. it was on pbs. they spent a year filming a real family, the loud family. >> you got all the boys, i got all the girls. you can't beat it. >> both of us shared the sense that there was a lie at the heart of this, which is that the camera can be there without changing things. when we did "real life," the movie together, th

>> for this particular aircraft, brooke, they're extremely rare. since 1980, the navy has only recorded three crashes of a c-2 greyhound. the most recent was back in 2012. this was an aircraft, though it's an old model, we've been flying it for more than 50 years, it's got an extraordinarily good safety record. and you just don't hear much at all of mishaps with these things. >> just to take people inside of a c-2, you're strapped in there, you're actually flying backwards in the body of the plane, and then you have the pilots obviously up in the front. you've got six different seat belts on and a helmet because of the way in which you land in a jarring fashion on an aircraft carrier. but that said, and actually, here's our video from when we were walking to the cod a couple of weeks ago in korea. the seventh fleet, admiral. this just adds to the list of bad headlines. what is going on? >> well, again, i think to barbara's reporting, we need to be careful drawing too many parallels between this particular aircraft mishap and all the other issues, p

-brooke: i want that.ick in the element that suits him best. his sales pitch is strong. patrick: ...comes in a lot of different colors. lemonis: and he knows his numbers. patrick: that one with the flocking would retail around $44. -liz: okay. -brooke: okay. lemonis: and he's doing all of it without dan and kelly having to hold his hand. brooke: could you put a colored lace? patrick: a hot-pink drawstring or something like that would really make it pop. i think that's a really good idea, actually. lemonis: but best of all, he's taking feedback the right way. brooke: i love the kitschy, whimsical expressions that reflect your personality. liz: my favorite part of the collection is the graphics. i think the graphics are really fun, and i think customers are looking for things that are gonna surprise and delight them. and then, i think first and foremost, it's getting the setup ready. we call it a "trunk-show" model. so, you bring in the stock and we actually sell it. then if it takes off, you know, we are bi

. >> reporter: absolutely, brooke. and we did not get a lot of questions answered in the foreign trip. he held 2 plus 2 press conferences only a couple of questions answered. he did answer questions on the air force one one day, off camera, no audio of that. so when sarah huckabee sanders comes into the briefing room there will be a whole slouew of questions for her. and most critically what is going to happen to ray moore? why hasn't president trump pushed him out of the way, he has not done that despite mounting objections in washington to ray moore candidate from senate leadership saying as soon as ray moore comes to washington, if he wins, wo we'll try to get him out of here. even to shawn hannity, he has time and it's running out. president has not gone that far up until this point and he was asked this question up on capitol hill. he sailed right past the cameras when that question was put to him. so i suppose that will be one of the first questions out of the gate. but also my guess is, brooke, when sarah huckab

>>> we continue now, i'm brooke baldwin, thank you for being with me. move over tax reform and d.r.e.a.m.ers, the republican party is marching toward a more immediate capitol hill crisis. moore does continue to deny all those accusations of sex abuse of a minor and of sexual assault. and despite republican party leaders saying they believe moore's accusers and would like for him to drop out of the race, the president after more than a week of being questioned showed he is siding with a suspected molester over these women, some of whom voted for president trump. >> well, he denies it, look, he denies it. he totally denies it. he says it didn't happen. he said 40 years ago this did not happen. let me just tell you, roy moore denies it, that's all i can say, he denies it and by the way he totally denies it. well, he denies. i mean roy moore denies it. and by the way, he gives a total denial. he totally denies it. >> all right, so the denying, we hear him. the why, let's go tour our senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny in west palm beach following t

>> certainly does indicate that, brooke.'ve been talking about, possible plea deal could come at any time. could come at any day perhaps. we don't have enough in sight into it. but we do know that there have been discussions. and there appears to be ongoing discussion based on the fact that we know the communications between the lawyers have stopped. these are the flynn lawyers or trump lawyers. and also it's interesting, you know, that kushner was specifically, and this is what we were told, people would not tell us what other questions he was asked, but for that 90 minutes, which is a relatively short period of time of time to be questioned by investigators was asked about flynn specifically and relationship with flynn and some of the russian meetings. so certainly indication that is the noose around michael flynn is tightening. >> let me ask you also about eric prince, the black water founder who is younger brother of secretary of education. he is testifying before this closed door house intelligence committee hearing abo

i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for being with me. any minute now senate republicans are going to overhaul the tax system. now getting some of the details coming out of what could be in that bill. we'll get you capitol hill and get into those details in just a moment. but all of this is happening while pressure on the republican party could not be higher. republicans see their majority rule at stake after seeing major election losses in state and local races this week. exit polls indicate not passing a health care bill had an impact. so now republicans are putting all their effort into passing major tax legislation before the mird terms to prove the party controls can make good on major campaign promises. this as they are detailing house plans, house republicans finalizing theirs. here was house speaker paul ryan. >> we are doing this the right way. regular order way. takes time but trust me we are going to get this over the finish line. we'll get this over the finish line because we need to get this done for american families. we nee

i'm brooke baldwin. thanks for being with me. another powerful man is out of job at a parent inappropriate behavior at work. this time it is matt lauer. long time coanchor of the "today" show whose name is synonymous with morning television. nbc news says he was fired after a detailed complaint by colleague about inappropriate sexu sexual behavior that happened at the olympic games. savannah announced it on the "today" show this morning. >> at the moment all we can say is we are heart broken. i'm heart broken for matt. he's my dear friend and partner. and i'm heart broken for the brave colleague who came forward to tell her story and any other women who have their own stories to tell. and we are grap blipling with a dilemma these past few weeks. how do you reconcile your love with someone with the realization they behaved badly. and i don't have an answer to that. >> we have a lot standing by. but let's begin with brian stelter. he also wrote a book about the show. i know a lot of people woke up this mor

i'm brooke baldwin. it's thanksgiving. thank you so much for being with me. happy thanksgiving to you. and in the holiday spirit here, the president is giving thanks to americans who deserve it most, like the men you just saw there. our u.s. military overseas. he talked earlier to video -- to troops via video conference in iraq and turkey, afghanistan, the persian gulf and the arabian peninsula and those assisting in syria, and he also visited a coast guard station there in florida where he spotlighted the 16,000 lives the coast guard saved after hurricane harvey. think about that for a second. and as the president heaped a lot of praise, of course, to those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, he also hailed his own achievements. >> we opened it up. we said, go ahead, we're going to fight to win. we're not fighting anymore to just walk around. we're fighting to win. and you people are really -- you've turned it around over the last three to four months like nobody's seen. and they are talking about i

you're watching cnn, i'm brooke baldwin. we're expecting developments on two breaking stories any moment now. first up in texas, the fbi expected to hold a news conference about the death of a border patrol agent there. and other border patrol agent sitting in a hospital in serious condition. >>> in alabama, lawyers of the roy moore campaign are going to step to the podium to refute the sexual abuse allegations against the alabama senate candidate. let's start there, with me cnn political director david talon. and meg reston and cnn analyst areva martin. here we go -- actually, here we go. there's the moore campaign. >> -- men and women alike. i supervised his staff for the past four years. three years or so. and never heard a single complaint by anybody about inappropriate behavior or uncomfortableness. i just wanted to state that clearly. as anybody who knows judge moore will say that the man is above reproach. and it's why we stand here today. not because he's a man guilty as charged and we're going to stand by our man an

i'm brooke baldwin. i'm sitting in for kate this week. we begin with president trump, up before the sun, already lashing out, the latest twitter storm targeting an nfl player, arrivals, and his neverending feud with athletes. check out this morning's tweed. marshawn lynch of the nfl's oakland raiders stands for the mexican anthem and sits down to boos for our national anthem. great disrespect. next time nfl should suspend him for remainder of season. aheadance and ratings way down. also a swipe at the basketball players who were held in china -- i should have left them in jail. after the family of one of the players downplayed the president's role in freeing them. >>> in a week when the nation gives thanks, the president apparently believes he's not quite getting enough. we could see him any moment now when he sits down with his cabinet members. >>> but first we begin with abbey phillip at the white house. we ran through a couple of those tweets. i know the hill is off for the week, but taxes are front a

i'm brooke baldwin. we'll continue this coverage out of north korea where the reporting is north korea has fired a ballistic missile and it is still in the air. this is what we are getting from the south korea joint chiefs of staff. let's work with what we know who is on the phone for us. i know it's in the middle of the night for you in hong kong there. but ivan, tell me what exactly is south korea saying about this? >> reporter: we have a preliminary statement coming out of joint chiefs of staff confirming there is a unified ballistic missile fired from south pyongyang to the east. and we still don't know anything further about the nature of this missile, the range of it. what is striking of this is it's coming after a pause of nearly two montshs where they haven't fired anything. what has me scratching my head is the timing of it. if you go back they were firing these missiles for almost weekly basis but almost took place at dawn korea time. and this is taking place now at around 3:00 in the morning.

i'm brooke baldwin. it has been a stunning week when it comes to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. you have alabama senate candidate roy moore denying these accusations that he engaged in sexual acts decades ago with a 14-year-old when he was in his early 30s. you have this criminal investigation launched against oscar winner kevin spacey after a tv anchor said against her son. then there is louis c.k. in this "new york times" article where he masturbated in front of female colleagues. and every day brave women have been coming forward to share their voices, share their stories and today that included ali who said she was abused by a team doctor, and legendary swimmer nyad sharing her story. this is what she shared with me last hour. >> this was my cross to bear being sexually abused as a kid and twapt just the first time that you read about it at age 14. it was all through the high school years. humiliated degraded. it has stayed with me. as you just said i'm a bad ass and i am. i walk aroun
