rangappa, david gregory, thank you. the name sounds italian to me. that's the only reason i get it right. it's good. >> joining president trump in support of roy moore. is this just putting party over morality for a senate vote? is it as simple as that? does that make it okay? next. ow, the wrapping paper doesn't make the holidays. it's what's inside that counts. it's a phone for mom. okay, well, it's also what's inside the phone that counts, too. circuits? no, the network. so the network is inside the phone? well, no, the network's around the phone. and verizon is the most awarded network ever. that's why more people count on it. here you go.

. >>> let's bring in cnn political analyst david gregory and john "sassy" avlon. david gregory, when you look at this race, what's going to be the determining factors for you? >> well, i think it's democrats having to beat the odds. i mean, this has been nationalized as if this is a vote for president here down in alabama. i mean, look at every major figure in the party is very involved. and drawing this line in the sand in alabama. but it's an incredibly conservative state. you're going to have low turnout. democrats are not used to being organized in this fashion to really get out the vote in this way. so i still think it's going to be very difficult for a democrat to win. but this is an unusual circumstance. republicans have been torn asunder by this guy, whose views are repugnant to most americans, straight from the sexual misconduct against him. it's really astonishing that we are where we are, that the president was silent for a while, major republicans in the country said we're not even going to seat this guy if he's elected. and now everybody is behind him

let's bring in david gregory and a.b. stoddard, associate editor of real clear politics. david gregory, the tax bill looms largest, and is that enough motivation to get it done regardless of the details? >> i think so. i think for republican leaders they're looking at a promise ma made, has to be a promise kept on the republican agenda. this is an area where the president is trying to tout the success of the economy on his watch is purely his doing and a stock market that is surging into a new year, and i think a lot of expectation around those gains, particularly in the stock market, has been on the expectation of tax reform. i think there's a short-term goal here of a political win at the expense of who it hurts, whether it really does shaft the middle class over time or whether it helps the middle class as well. >> a.b., some of the public opinion polls not good for the tax plan. 55% disapprove and 26 approve, and if you dive in deeper it asks if a candidate supports this are you more likely to vote to them in the future or less likely. 43% less likely. who doesn't lik

we have cnn political analysts david gregory and john avalon.'s put it up for people here. repealing obamacare, infrastructure program, reforming welfare entitlement programs. david, do you think we have those in a right order, or they may come in a different order? >> i think they may come in a different order. and i would add the unexpected. whether it's the mueller investigation, another supreme court vacancy, the investigation around the mueller investigation or supreme court vacancy or some other shock, something in national security and foreign affairs. could make any kind of agenda just stand still or never get started. i still think that the potential promise of a trump presidency is to take on something that he may know something about which is infrastructure. a way to work with democrats. maybe the well has been too poisoned at this point. you know, welfare reform is certainly an area that i think certainly the speaker of the house, paul ryan, would like to take on. he's taken it on before. in an election year when it hurt him, the las

joining us is analyst david gregory and former counsel to the u.s. and assistant attorney general. you are our legal expert. what concerns does this new revelation raise? >> let's see what wikileaks is. according to cia director pompeo, they hacked his e-mails and the intelligence community said that they were involved in the relief of the hacked dnc. they are not like any other news organization. some folks are saying that. they do not apply journalistic standards and released information that harmed national security. any allegations or information that has been revealed indicating that the campaign had been in touch with wikileaks is a concern. >> how significant potentially in the broader investigation specifically the allegation of collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. >> this gets to the point. if it's accurate and really born out of that connection because we asked the question why is it that this administration was so willing as a campaign to cozy up to putin specifically and russia generally? what were they getting in return and what were the relationships

analyst david gregory and chief analyst deploria borger. if i can begin with you, you have some experience on the investigating presidents and. >> they are usually significant and not definitive, but woe chose where mueller is headed. it's very significant that the plea by general flynn addresses the sanctions. that is the holy grail for the russians and have sanctions removed that the united states had instituted. that stands at the center of what russians wanted the united states to do. it is clearer that the incoming trump team was working to get sanctions removed. mr. kushner is one who you would think of. the son in law in these situations and there is a team that men moved on to run the transition they are under serious investigations. you mentioned watergate is that the system is working. the legal system is working. there is plenty of room for the president of the united states if the facts go that way and there are ominous signals because the president has lied so often about the matters under discussion here. we have a long way to

let's talk about the stakes here with david gregory and chris cillizza. as i was saying, this is an intensely personal issue for this man and that's why he is projecting it on to the race, and that's not so dissimilar from what we expect from a lot of voters, and there's something personal about this election, the role of faith in society and our culture. those are big issues for people down there, and roy moore is banking on them, yes? >> yes, no question about it. i think he's banking on a sense that voters in the state may feel that many around the country and in the news media and in the establishment in washington are looking down their nose and saying roy moore is not fit to be in this institution of the senate, that he has done things and believes things that disqualify him, and people may not look at the substance of those things. they may want to discredit the women that accused roy moore of misconduct, or, you know, look aside as his wife uses textbook anti-semitism to defend their views about jews, and say, no, we are just going to vote on the

and let's talk about it with cnn political analysts david gregory and john avlon.of you. let's start with the firing of james comey and what has led to the russia investigation and all of the ripple effect. that's been a defining moment, fair to say. >> no question about it. here you are in the first full month of the trump administration coming in with his american carnage inaugural, but really an administration taking shape, michael flynn goes, there's a comey firing, and all the dominos start falling with the mueller investigation. fights between the president and the press at unprecedented pitches and an investigation that normally doesn't happen in the first year of a presidency. this is serious stuff. >> if ever. >> and the real notable piece of that is the president then brings upon an obstruction of justice investigation on to himself. what was a real investigation into whether the campaign was somehow working with the russians to influence the election became an obstruction case, which is much easier to prove and has led to a level of paranoia that he brou

gregory and john avlon. i barely know where to begin. it is suddenly a deluge of crazy stories. let's start with congressman trent franks. david, he reportedly asked staffers -- he and his wife were struggling with fertility issues. he reportedly asked a couple of staffers if they would consider surragacy for he and his wife. that is different. we need to have boundaries in the workplace. women, as you can imagine, felt uncomfortable and didn't know how it would affect their jobs. >> it's a conversation we have been having for tkbg aids. it is just a question of whether people are paying attention. when you have a congressman in his office broaching that kind of subject, i don't know what you would be thinking. a young woman in your office, you think is going to be comfortable with that conversation, in that environment. paul ryan said it was essentially an open on and shut case and the congressman was willing to bow out and didn't want to go through any more public disclosure of all of this. i think when it comes to he members of congress now it will be part of the path. that they would bow out more quietly and gracefully rat

gregory back into this. first of all, we have a raw reality on the ground, all right. it's very dangerous because it can just tip into a bad to worse so quickly, david. and that's the reality. how long it lasts plays into the politics. if the move was worth it, one day, two days of this, some people injured. god forbid somebody dies, what is the calculation in which the move to jerusalem becomes a negative? >> well, i don't think that the trump administration was sufficiently worried about the tinder box aspect of this that jerusalem really is. aaron miller was on earlier talking about watch what happens at friday modern prayers at temple mount, the western wall, the holy site for jews. and shabat will be friday evening. i'm not sure this administration thought through the ramifications of short-term violence and he netanyahu's administration that is supportive of the decision. there is no peace process. for the president to announce we're going to take this move and maybe this will be the catalyst for the peace process, i think the opposite is potentially true here. >> john, i see it different based on the surrogates of the trump campaign. they und
