as elise said, it's extraordinary. the minute attention in any small amount is diverted away from donald trump, he's a master of focusing it back on himself. what's ironing is donald trump may be man of the week and man of the year ongoing with "time" magazine if the owner of the national enquirer along with koch and mercier money buy the manage. it's quite ironic that this man cares so much about his own narcissistic needs rather than the country. >> guys, stay right there because happening right now in alabama, roy moore's democratic opponent doug jones is set to speak at a tailgate party just a short time from now. this is the latest poll showing a statistical dead heat. what do we expect to hear from doug jones? >> reporter: good afternoon, alex. doug jones, the democratic, is coming here to the iron bowl. this is the big game in alabama. you have number six auburn versus alabama. these two teams have played in the national championship game. we're 15 days from the special election on december 12th, but all the att

elise, we'll start with you first. as you know, the white house has downplaying the role of george papadopoulos who has pled guilty to lying about his contacts with russia. nbc has new reporting finding that papadopoulos repeatedly represented the trump campaign. you were an advisor to rand paul and that campaign. how much can they deny him, after he's made so many appearances representing candidate trump? >> the whole tact that they have chosen to take communicating about this debacle is really perplexing to me simply because, you know, on campaigns plenty of crazy ideas are tossed around from people who aren't necessarily empowered on the campaign. and so the mention of the meeting with vladimir putin, you look at the confusion surrounding what actually happened and jeff sessions reportedly dismissed it and said, no, that's not a good idea and let's not speak of it again. and that's what's coming out now. but why didn't they just come out with that from the very beginning? all of the -- you know, all of the denials a

and elise, you know what happened today?omebody close to steve bannon leaked to the daily beast he is having a change of heart maybe about roy moore and leaked out an equally tough guy statement, i'll put him in a grave myself if he determines that moore was lying to him. numerous accusations, a source told the daily beast. >> bannon had better look the first go-around he was with a conduct accused of grave sexual misconduct, donald trump. but by that point, so many people really disliked donald trump that it wasn't necessarily unsurprising, the "access hollywood" video. roy moore was supposed to be the pinnacle of piousness, a good christian servant. and he is showing the chip in the arm they're hey, maybe this has all been one big facade. his holier than thou attitude covering up very grave since. >> and i'm not going back down one inch. tough guy steve bannon claiming he was going to fight to the finish for roy moore. fight to the -- oh, let me get a statement out and try to get one of my close friends to tell the daily b

elise jordan. i mean we are entering a time, we are in a time, we are living through a time when the lee corps corfmans of our time -- the rest of the republicans in the senate who have spoken out believe lee korfman. so we now have donald trump and roy moore and every other republican who's in the senate, believes he korfman. >> and also every senator in alabama believes lee korfman. i think it's doing a disservice to the people of alabama who i believe, i have face in how they will vote when december rolls around. but i think that these accusations, the human stories that are behind, the force that is behind, the moral force that is behind these women and as week after week after week, the story continues as their integrity holds up in the court of public opinion, as more and more stories come out about the mall, about roy moore preying on his wife as a dance recital, when she was 15 or 16. but how roy moore is a known predator. i do think that it does a disservice for people who dismiss pedophil

elise who works for npr and covered many of the president's stops. ian bremer was in vietnam for the president's stop and president of the eurasia group and richard haass is the author of "the world in disarray." richard, how do you explain the putin thing? it feels as though donald trump just can't stop himself from saying that -- >> for several years now he has been sympathetic, supportive of russia and mr. putin. and even though he tried to correct it at his most recent stop by saying it's important to work with russia on some of these issues, he's basically wrong. you cannot, should not give russia a path any time it violates the basic norms of international order, whether it's interfering in our elections, whether it's taking crimea, using force indiscriminately in syria. what he did is wrong in foreign policy and wrong just in terms of basic morality. >> elise, other than this, the president actually stayed pretty much on script. it was actually striking to listen to donald trump reading from teleprompters, doing the handshakes, you know, mostl

michael and elise. michael, what is your take on all of this? what sarah gordon experienced, the movie "the secretary" is about a powerful man, you know, playing some sort of sexually abusive mind games with a young, beautiful woman. >> clearly you all didn't buy into the presence of what a special time it is for women in america yesterday. there's a pathology at work here that we see played out again and again and again with powerful men. and i don't know how to describe it except to say they want what they want when they want it. and i pointed this out to a friend of mine yesterday, a male friend, and he said and how they want it. and this has played out over a long time. in a culture that got embedded in the system, especially in the world of the media. but any world that involves powerful men and a young woman who as stephanie said was just looking to get a foot in the door. then they step inside the doror of an apartment like this and get an ugly look down the rabbit hole of what this world looks like. >> one of the things that sarah gordon

just in from us swinging back, as elise said.seem very personal now between the north korean dictator and the president of the united states. i'm brooke baldwin. thanks for being with me. "the lead" with jake tapper starts now. >>> thanks, brooke. so you're really telling me that was only one year ago? "the lead" starts right now. >>> exactly one year after donald trump's historic election, trumpism was trounced at the voting booth as the brand-new polls you have not yet seen are about to hit right now on "the lead." showing a new wave of negative public reactions to this president. >>> and warning signs. he beat his ex-wife, abused his former stepson, then a toddler, punched a dog, escaped a mental health facility and still was able to legally purchase a semiautomatic rifle. so why were the blaring alarm

elise jordan, "time" columnist and former adviser to senator rand paul. jason johnson, politics editor at the root.com, professor at morgan state university. bob, i want to start with you. your reaction to the way president trump has handled both of these situations. i can't say it's a surprise but he's putting himself in some dangerous territory. >> president trump has chosen to respond to the controversy around senator franken not to judge moore. that's telling that he does want to wade into this national debate about sexual assault and sexual harassment. at the same time, when it comes to the alabama race, there are political sensitivities down there. this is a state that's the beating heart of his base and he is relungtant after being burned in the primary runoff to wade in once again and maybe try to push roy moore out of this race. >> but then why weigh in on al franken, elise, think about this. position president trump is putting himself in. remember, there are over 10 women who have accused president trump. he went on the campaign trail, denied it

cnn global affairs correspondent elise labbot joins us now to discuss this. all hanging in the balance. how damning is this editorial for the state department? >> it's damning in the sense that the perception over time continues to become the reality. right now secretary of state tillerson is very popular with foreign ministers. they all speak very highly of him in terms of their meetings with him. if you continue to see as we've seen over the last week and talked yesterday about this mounting criticism on capitol hill about secretary tillerson's management at the state department, if they -- these world leaders continue to see secretary tillerson marginalized or criticized or downgraded in any way, it's going to make his diplomacy less effective and already you've seen because there's these unfilled positions at the state department, you've seen leaders and diplomats have told me, i'm going straight to the white house now, going to the pentagon now because there's nobody home at the state department. >> and spokeswoman recently admitted there was a morale pr

elise, let me start with you. tweeted and reminded us that president trump is arriving in japan and then south korea against a backdrop of a really staggering loss in confidence in the u.s. president. remind us what those numbers are and why is that drop so precipitous, do you think? >> that's right, the pew research center takes the temperature of citizens in various countries around the world and did so with u.s. alliance partners south korea and japan. in south korea when polled in the spring of 2015, south koreans express 88% confidence in the american president in terms of making a good decision or good decisions on world affairs. that was 88% in 2015. when polled again in 2017 that number dropped down to 17% confidence. it was very much the same picture in japan where the japanese registered numbers up in the -- up for 70% range in terms of confidence in the u.s. president. that has dropped now down to 24%. and it reflects a wariness among the south koreans and the japanese in the u.s. president now and the

elise -- >> we tried to report vetted facts. he does not. >> i mean, i think -- i do agree that we're all getting off point but i think the point is we can't stop looking for -- we have to stop looking for president trump to have some kind of aha moment on this russian meddling. we have intelligence say that go they did it. they've laid out a lot of evidence. i think the vast majority of the congre congress, of the country, even the administration believes they did. president trump will not make that declaration. i think we need to hold him to account going forward with russia. what the policy is going -- can i finish? i let you speak, let me finish. >> i'm sorry. >> i think the policies on russia, josh is right. there's so much going on on this presidential trip is everybody is focused on this one thing, whether he asked president trump about the meddling. he's not going to do that. he's not going to make some kind of big declaration. there are a lot of important issues that the u.s. has with russia not just about the meddling

all right, steve hall, elise labbot, jill dougherty, thank you so much. much more straight ahead. but first, when justin salas lost his sight as a teenager, he found rock climbing, a hobby that's brought him to the top of the sport. >> i get to kind of interact with rock on a way that i think very few people get to experience climbing has taught me to navigate the world in a completely different way. >> justin salas is a professional rock climber. he's also legally blind. >> being a young teen boy and losing your vision is one of the hardest things i could have imagined. i was about to get my learner's permit. that was just robbed from me. >> despite years of tests, doctors couldn't determine the cause of his vision loss. >> i spent probably two or three years just not doing anything at all until a friend of mine that worked at the local gym told me i didn't need to see to rock climb, and i was hooked. >> justin can't see anything straight ahead, so he relies mainly on his peripheral vision. >> when i'm looking at a wall, i don't see holds most of the time, it's just feel or muscl

elise jordan has a question for you. >> so you oppose this tax bill.derful. if you're all the rest of us mortals, it's unbelievable. >> what do you think of the corporate tax form, and do you think that there needs to be some corporate tax reform? what about this plan? >> this is a complete giveaway to the richest people in this country at the expense of everybody else. it's pure and simple. they want to cut the taxes on the people who own the companies. that's why the stock market has already gone up in anticipation of that. but for everyone else, whether you've a homeowner, whether you pay property tax, whether you pay state and local income tax, whether you have student loans or whether you'll just be one of us average people who ends up paying off the interest on the $1.5 trillion or more of debt that they are taking to give to the richest people in the country. we all lose. so this is, as he said, brady said it's time. but you know what it's time for? it's time for payback to the republican donors, to the koch brothers. the koch brothers are these

i want to bring in elise labott. specifically, what is causing this alarm at the state department?ary tillerson has faced a lot of criticism on the hill for, you know, not filling state department positions for his management decisions at state and now for his kind of re-design of the state department. the latest wave of criticism was prompted by this letter of the head of the foreign service association, this kind of union that represents the foreign service, warning that senior levels of the foreign service are, you know, kind of leaving in droves and this is undermining the diplomacy of america, making america less safe, and, you know, you've not only heard senator mccain, senator shaheen but secretary tillerson's closest allies like bob corker say they need more answers, that they want him to promote pore people, they want to fill more positions, they want to keep those senior levels of the foreign service. now the numbers don't necessarily right now indicate any kind of mass exodus, although a lot of people at the senior ranks have left, but i think that there is really a mora

"new york times" political reporter jeremy peters, elise jordan from the george w. bush white house and former adviser to rand paul and brets stevens, "new york times" op-ed columnist. we talked in the break about a couple of the stops in this asia trip. it looked to me watching this like he sought to import some of the features and benefits of state-run media back to the u.s. >> the problem with the president is that he mistakes flattery with respect. and i think there was clearly a kind of strong man envy at work here that people like duterte in the philippines, of course xi in china could command that level of flattery from their media that he never has access to back here at home. >> and katy, you covered this man longer than all of us here combined. there is always a degree of projection. and it seemed to me by announcing, i guess after lunch today, that he was going to make a statement, there was a lot of speculation he might seek to stop the bleeding over the roy moore scandal that's rip apart the party nationally by weighing in or trying to lead the party ou

let me start with elise jordan. i've seen you on "today." i've been out traveling here. tell me what your sense is of the republican party's reaction. it looks to me mitch mcconnell may be the lead bird on this. he is signaling he wants this guy out of the race. that dispositive? is that going to cue everyone else? i just heard ted cruz has just gotten off moore. he is against him taking the nomination here. >> well, as of now, it sounds like pretty much every republican has been calling on roy moore to step out of the race. but the question remains whether roy moore will actually do that. and i seriously doubt that roy moore would ever drop out of the race on his own volition. i really do not think that certainly senator mcconnell telling him to drop out would make him force his hand. >> what do you make of his stonewalling, denial that he knows any of the women, saying the whole thing is put up by the left wing media, that it was all a concoction worthy of suing by "the washington post." in other words, you to believe him against all the witnesses, all the people makin

elise, i want to start with you. yesterday i watched you on "deadline white house" talk about what a good guy ed gillespie is. now he's lost. what happens to his reputation going forward? he's tainted with the trump brand at this point. he ran a trump-like campaign. can he go back to, but remember, i was a george bush flavor good guy. >> it was disappointing to watch how ed gillespie tried to close in the final week his campaign. it was disappointing to watch out his tone shifted from kind of staying away from trump to deciding, well, i have to cozy up and i have to dig in on some of these immigration and confederate statue issues and saying that my competitor isn't tough enough on convicting pedophiles. i have to dig in on those issues. and it wasn't the kind of campaign that i saw as ed gillespie's brand and i think it came off as inauthentic and now the question is how does he recover from that. he's shown that he was willing to go there and failed in the process. >> but what does that teach other republicans? i m

and elise, i'm going to go to you on this, but is he doing enough? does he need to step down altogether? >> i absolutely think that john conyers should be gone. there's no question in my mind that the allegations against him are very credible. >> 50 years in any job is too long, i think. it's a good argument for term limits in there. 50 years, the people of michigan have been electing him and electing him. and maybe the concentration and power and super pac money is a little bit too much. 50 years is a long time. there are many people in that state that can step forward. >> i think monday is going to be a tense time on the hill to say the least. thank you all for joining me. >>> me too, assist ralit's a ral for victims of sexual harassment and assault. later, we'll have the founder of the movement and why so many are now coming forward with their stories. but first, a report by the associated press reveals that the fbi knew for at least a year who russian hackers were targeting. so why did they not say anything? that conversation is coming up next. y

elise lap b elise labott joining us.orter: i think the end goal is to get the palestinians to the table and make a peace deal with the u.s. this is an old law essentially governing relations with the united states and the palestinians. the palestinians for many years in the '80's were not allowed to have an office in washington. president clinton in 1994 allowed this em to open up an office in washington but in 2015, congress put a kind of provision in this law after the palestinians joined the international criminal court saying if they took action against israel in the icc then they would have to close the palestinian office here in washington. now, the last kind of certification period was in november, and palestinian president abad did go to the u.n. in september. the general assembly. we all covered it when he asked the icc to take action against israel for what he called crimes against humanity. it's a very little known provision but i think the president and jared kushner, who's leading the peace negotiations, thi

let's dig right in to tonight with tonight's panel, elise jordan, contributor to "time" magazine.ther is with us and nicholas, reporter for the "new york times" and msnbc contributor. guys, welcome. i want to talk a bit about moore and what i just spoke -- nimy conversation with sam nunberg and the contortion with which allies the president has too go through to get roy moore elected. >> party line if true -- >> yes. >> probably true, but we are so hell-bent on frankly repaying our political donors with a bill that is enormously unpopular. historically unpopular, that we'd be willing to seat a pedophile. it's an astonishing moment in our politics. where first of all, a bill, i mean they keep talking about tax reform as if its something that will help them politically. you've seen the numbers. 30% approval rating. >> not clear if elected and did vote in line with republicans they would still, with the president, they would still be able to get any agenda done. it's not generally a one-senator margin for a lot of this stuff. it's one, two, three, maybe more sometimes and issues in t

. >> all right, let me bring in cnn global affairs correspondent elise labot. >> i think you heard nikkietty well there, it's going to make it all the more difficult for the international community to hold the assad regime accountable if its using chemical weapons. you know, this whole jim, this joint investigative mechanism, was set up in april after the joint weapons sarin attack in which trump saw enough evidence that he launched strikes against the syrian regime. not only is this the third veto against the j.i.m. itself but it's the 11th veto of a security council resolution by russia since the outbreak of the syrian conflict more than six years ago. and of course the russians cite flaws with the investigator's work, but there's really not a lot of doubt who is responsible, fred, because everyone has pretty much acknowledged that neither isis nor the rebels themselves have the air capacity to launch an attack like that. so i'm not necessarily sure who the russians could really feel is responsible. they've blamed it on isis. they blamed it on the rebels. the certaintyians were really
