a former senior advisory to secretary of state hillary clinton and chairman of the american conservative unionwelcome to you both. >> thank you. >> shannon: what do you make of the quote basically saying the guys can get away with stuff because in the end their interests line up with women. >> it's crazy to say liberal men either suffer from this or get away with it more. i think we've seen if we look at what's happening now we have a senate candidate in alabama who pretty much has been accused of doing as much as the rest of everyone else combined right now. i think that's overly simple to say that. i'd like to think both parties take it equally seriously and this isn't fundamentally about partisanship. it's about behavior that's intolerable. >> shannon: there were people like gloria steinam saying, you know, he's still in our corner. >> i can't speak to what they were thinking. obviously i took issue with something a united states senator now said. i think there's a big difference. we're just learning of the accusations whether it's senator franken or a candidate moore or john conyers. presi

german chancellor merkel is hosting a new round of exploratory coalition talks members of a conservative a union bloc are meeting the greens and the liberals to discuss a number of issues including defense and commerce the negotiating campsie huge differences exist on a number of issues. donald trump has revealed calls for the death penalty to be handed to the suspect in tuesday's attack in new york city to accuse a saifullah sipe of waived his right to silence and told authorities he was inspired to kill by the so-called islamic states online propaganda of president from press corps for capital punishment for sipar tweeting that he should get the death penalty family and friends meanwhile of the aids victims have been holding vigils and services in their memory. let me now draw in our washington correspondent alexander for naaman heil. of the the critics are saying that trance response is a bit over the top in the reaction to this terrorist attack people viewing his reaction where you are. well we have to say that the president seems to be to be very outraged by what happened in his hometown an

former clinton poster and fox news contributor doug schoen and american conservative union mag matt schlappm going to start with you, joe from the hill. why the difference? what happened between when bill clinton was accused and everyone's saying, gee, this is a private matter. let's just let by gons be by gons and the women can't be believed today? >> there's an old saying, if au bandon your principles for convenience, they're not your principles. they'reier your costume. in other words, principles are only principles when they're exercised at times of inconvenience. so now when members of the lef left-leaning media or politicians like senator jillbrand speak out about this, it rings hollow, because the time to speak out was either in the 1990's when president clinton was in office or during the 2016 campaign whether his wife was running and she ran a narrative back in the 90's and even last year dismissing his accusers. you had to do it then. to do it now it means nothing because the clintons don't mean anything for them anymore. they don't have any more use for them anymore. >> ok, so do

cnn political commentator anna navarro and the chairman of the american conservative union matt schlape said before, we are thankful for you. the best of thanksgiving for you and your family. >> you, too. >> now, matt, the president apparently defended roy moore. supports him in the race. is considering whether to campaign for him. do you agree with the move? >> i don't know if i agree with your premise. i think the president definitely moved closer towards judge moore. he defended the fact that roy moore is denying these allegations. and i think his main focus is to say that the democrat, if you're a conservative or a republican in alabama, the alternative is the democrat and he's terrible on all the issues republicans care about. so, his focus so far is on the shortcomings of the democrat. he could take that next step, chris, and go down there and then if he does, i think it's fair to call that an endorsement. >> anna, can you look at what the president said yesterday and see if it is anything but supporting roy moore in that race? >> look, i think it's not express support, but it's

well the third largest poles apart too obviously were the conservative christian social union that very insistent party of anger marcos christian democrats on the one hand on the right side of the political spectrum and the greens on the left side of the political spectrum this was the guy that needed to be bridged by these talks and it seems so far that the free democrats were participating and finding some kind of bridging formula between these two poles that there were in the middle between these two poles and we're doing the best in fact to facilitate such such an outcome so it is really quite a large surprise that the freedom of crowds are the ones that have now pulled out of these talks it would have been much less of a surprise of one of the more extreme parties the christian social union the varians or the greens had said that they could not see their way open to finding an agreement really it's a surprise to every or all of service that are here at the moment and it's really quite unclear what is going to happen next. huns bronte standing by for us outside the headquarters wher

matt is with us from the american conservative union. is this the end of the clintons? politically?y, i mean, clearly half of the party is all done with the clintons, they don't want to see them again but i think the democrats, stuart, i think you're onto something, donna brazile and all the insiders of the democratic party, elizabeth warren, i do think they are done with them, criminal syndicate to go away. stuart: they are escape artists in realistic sense. i get the sense, though, that they can't escape this politically at this point. >> yeah, look, they should not have escaped all of the criminal wrong doingings including the criminal wrong doings with the dossier, but you have leading democrats, including donna brazile, leaked the question about the flynn water crisis to the clinton camp against bernie sanders in the primary, even she as a clinton apologist is turning against them. stuart: why did she do that? why would donna brazile who is a friend of the clintons, the interim chair of the democrat party, why did she suddenly admit, yeah, hillary rigged it? >> it's a great bar

joining us right now is the chairman of the american conservative union and former deputy assistant andpresident george w. bush, matt schlapp, matt, good morning to you. >> good morning to you, steve. steve: let's talk about these six republicans who are holding up tax reform. first, you've got the left -- these are the six republicans who are holding up the debate. bob corker, jeff flake. also ron johnson, lisa murkowski. susan collins, john mccain. let's start with. susan collins you, what do you want. john mccain. john mccain. donald trump and he seems to be the republican that's part of every bad democratic bipartisan idea. so john mccain is always somebody on the big issues you have to keep your eye on. and think when it comes to susan collins and lisa murkowski fill sonkly they are much further left than their colleagues in the conference. susan collins over the weekend is already saying basically that she supports obamacare and doesn't want to get rid of the individual mandate and, as you know, voted against repealing obamacare after republicans took over are or after donald trum

union. the conservatives they were ready on the other hand to have some kind of more green policy closing down coal power coal fired power stations which the greens want and you know and everyone really thought well the liberals would sort of be in the middle and they all sort of slipped through but they decided this is the interesting thing they decided last minute no we don't want to govern and i don't think it's not because they can it's anyone can you know found if they don't want to and the reason is i think they want to go in the direction of a populist national democratic party and take the voters of the far right a f d who got thirteen percent there also elections your friends in germany and the immigrant anti you and there's been sort of christian lin the leader of the of the pro-business free democrat party the broads has been making sounds like this for some weeks now and i think his idea is i don't have to govern now i've got four years i've got eight years' time i'm a young guy i can build my party into the right wing formation to the right of i'm going to marco and the christian

the chancellorship the next question would then be how does the christian democratic union and how do the conservatives do in that election at the moment the polls seem to indicate that there will be very little change in the support for the parties and then would in fact remain the leader of the strongest party in parliament and would in effect end up being chancellor again so at the moment the prospect seems that she will be continue to be chancellor for another four years or so obviously we cannot predict results of a possible election so it's all very uncertain at the moment but at the moment there seems to be no indication that anglo american is in any way threatened everyone is wondering what happens next in germany the german president prime time or says he does not want new elections he's due to hold talks with the leaders of various parties going to put pressure on them to go back the negotiating table what do you think you'll be saying. well he would be saying to them i think in more detail what he said to the public yesterday and that is that political parties have a mandate from the voters

it ensures parliament will consider a bill this year to legalize same sex unions despite opposition from government conservativesnd the catholic church australia is expected to approve legislation on the issue before christmas rushes the lower house of parliament has unanimously approved legislation that would force some international media outlets to register as foreign agents now the move is seen as retaliatory steps against the u.s. it comes after washington demanded that a kremlin funded station register with the u.s. justice department as a foreign agent the legislation must now receive the backing of russia's upper house of parliament and president vladimir putin but it's expected to be signed in to wall i want to bring in our correspondent in moscow now emily sure when emily good evening to use the legislation has now passed the duma can you explain the next steps for looking at. well as you said it will go in front of the federation council which is the upper house of parliament and then it will have to be signed by putin as well now what this law means is it's an actually in addition to an existing medi

bush and director of the american conservative union. i'm hearing that everyone knows on the republican side in the senate that they got to get this done. you know, after the failure on repealing and replacing obamacare, everyone feels the political pressure to get it done but griff, the next question is they also feel some responsibility to get it done right so behind the scenes there is a flurry of activity. >> lisa: and getting it done right to that point matt so you've got six senators expressing concerns from the deficit to the individual mandate as well or senator johnson concerned with the way small businesses are being treated. how do republicans get to 52 or how do they get to 51 in getting this passed the finish line? >> matt: well lisa, i think you're right with those six and there are others that obviously are expressing some concerns more privately and i think the key for mitch mcconnell is just to get to 50 and have mike pence break the tie. it's a real shame that democrats are just refusing to play any significant role on

unions. a slim majority of conservative justices may hand down an anti-worker decision that would dramatically undo existing precedent and sabotage the ability of unions to represent hardworking americans. workers should not be able to reap all the benefit of union negotiations while refusing pay dues that made those efforts possible. make no mistake, a decision sanctioning this practice would strip away freedom from millions of americans. it would steal their freedom to join together to bargain for better wages, it would steal their freedom to insist on worker protectionings and it would -- protections and it would -- another way we can support our union workers is by making a serious investment in the nation's infrastructure which leads to more good-paying jobs and greater economic opportunity for working families. improving our nation's infrastructure is really just common sense. that's why i introduced a bill which was passed into law to cut red tape and reduce delays on construction projects in illinois and our surrounding states. upgrading our transportation systems will help illinoisans

poles of these four parties that are involved that's the christian social union from the very a which is a particularly conservative party on the one hand and the green party on the other hand which is more on the left of the political spectrum and these two parties especially have not been able to find any common ground and in fact it seems that in the last fall's they have not been successful in that either at the moment talks continue but there's no prospect of a deal being made at the moment. all right so no prospect of a deal yet they've been talking for for weeks now why is it taking so long for them to find agreement. well i think in the end one has to say it's there's a very large difference political difference between the conservators on the one hand and the greens on the other hand the issues on which this turns are two basically the one is climate control which is obviously an issue that is especially important for the green party and the other the other issue is the refugee question in germany the number of refugees that are in germany and the number of refugees that might come in in future this is som
