hugh party is to find some sort of agreement to find some sort of a bridge both parties can walk over a one major deadline has come and gone what's the timeline now. well there isn't any real time line but all parties have agreed on that these talks can could at least take the whole weekend some even say well it could even take a little bit longer the next deadline if you want to call it that is the green party convention next saturday and one week's time there the green party actually wanted to present the outcome of the preliminary talks to be part of the membership and asked them if real coalition talks should be taken up. of course one could say even a party convention could be rescheduled but then this would mean that forming a government would take even longer and germany already has and how to govern and for a very government for quite a time now this is something this country is simply not used to. and to see if the i'm as well does happen in these talks do it rick john does it mean that jimmy will head for new elections. well this is one possibility and this is the possibilit

>> well, the party of lincoln is becoming the party of hugh hefner. if that's the case, when you come into the 2018 elections, they have to stand with an alleged or accused child molester as one of the faces of the party. and how do you do that? how do you use that as the poster child for republican party? in the short-run i think it would be a win for donald trump. we'll gate vote. in the long run i think it spells disaster for the republican party. because that is going to be what the democrats brand as the face of the republican party. >> okay. the democrats, as you bring them up. let's talk about the allegations that rocked capitol hill on tuesday involving john conyers, allegations made against him by members of staff, settlements made from his own personal office revenue, if you will. the point has been made by some political analysts that due to conyers' age, seniority, and race, it places democrats in a difficult situation when it comes to handling this matter. how do you see it? >> we're all in a difficult position, males especially. because f

. >> hugh, can i ask you if you think the republican party will be tainted if roy moore's elected?not if they write in nick saban. i mean, i saw some college republicans do the right thing and separate themselves from the alabama republican party. howard has said let the alabamans decide and have the yankees stay out of it. it's going to affect the entire country. the evidence just seems overwhelming to me. people can deny it if they want. i can't. it's a preponderance of the evidence standard and it's been met. so i don't think it will take the republican party if the senate republicans work with democrats to expel roy moore if he's elected next week. >> okay. gentlemen, i hope you can stay with me. i'm going to take a quick break. i want to come back with you on the other side and speak to you about attorney general jeff sessions, his testimony and whether i do not recall is a good answer or defense. we'll be right back. you too, unnecessary er visits. and hey, unmanaged depression, don't get too comfortable. we're talking to you, cost inefficiencies, and data without insights. a

parties have felt it's a presidential prerogative. and had we decided to allow the blue slip for circuit judges to be a veto, here's the situation, hugh. 48 democrats would have been able to veto 62% of the circuit court vacancies. that ain't going to happen. >>> coming up, more from leader mcconnell. we'll be right back. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. your rates won't go up just because of an accident. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. try super poligrip free. ♪ ...you might be missing to stasomething... ♪ ...your eyes. that's why there's ocuvite. it helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. nourish your eyes to help keep them healthy. ocuvite. be good to your eye

party are going to be comfortable with. charlie: let me ask you about two people. donald trump, what does he do now? hughi think the president has to take the message away from this that he is not winning the future elections. his style of governing is going to generate more turnout in the blue states and not as much turnout in the red states. it has been said that blue is getting darker blue, and red is getting darker red. but there aren't enough reds left demographically to win his congress. he could become a loser and he has got to emulate what he does abroad. he has given his best speeches in saudi arabia, poland and yesterday in south korea. and if the president imports into the united states a little bit of what he exports abroad, he would be a lot better president and the party would be in a lot better position. no way not to read this election as all about the president. charlie: say that again. hugh: no way to read the results of yesterday, other than in virginia, other than a referendum on the president. charlie: go ahead. susan, before you say that, let me quote you from a column. you have sai

you run to succeed a two-term president of your own party, you have a historical headwind blowing against you. >> there you have that. joining me now, hught. hugh, what did you make of her response to that? >> well, i was surprised that she was so candid, stephanie. it was surprising that she would do 45 minutes with me to begin with, but in that to be so candid on so many points about how maybe her team full of president obama alums held her back from arguing for change and from pointing out the holes in the obama record. she might have been a little bit left-brained in the campaign as opposed to right-brained. it is true that nixon couldn't succeed eisenhower, humphrey couldn't pick up the kennedy-johnson two terms. al gore couldn't and hillary clinton couldn't follow barack obama. so it's very hard. but she and i had a long conversation about the campaign and about her book, "what happened" which "time" magazine calls the most important book of 2017. i found the book engrossing and riti riveting. i disagree with a lot of it. but i was surprised that she was so forthcoming about the fact trying to run as a continuity candidate with pre

the democratic unionist party warns their deal to support the conservative government could be jeopardised by the brexit negotiations. now the sport with hughdeal to become the clubs new manager. everton striker wayne rooney says the club are looking forward to a "new chapter" under the former england boss. rooney scored a hat—trick in yesterday's 4—0 win over west ham. sealed by this stunning long range effort. it was rooney's first premier league hat trick since 2011. and it certainly seemed to be met with approval from allardyce who was watching the match from the stands. rooney, who was captain for big sam's only match as england manager. match as england manager, had this to say afterwards. obviously i had the one game with england. it is a new chapter for us. sam is a very good manager. i'm sure he will bring his own ideas to the football. we have our first day under him tomorrow and prepare for the game on saturday. manchester city midfielder david silva has signed a one—year contract extension. it'll keep him at the etihad until 2020. which will mark ten years at the club for the spain midfielder. he joined city from valencia for £2

party. >> the same question about damage. >> the fallout of this is in republican hands right now. you saw a lot of senators come out and hughes that if it's true language. i don't think they'll be able to stick with that for long. i think they will have to probably get a little more aggressive. they recognize this is the last thing they want to be talking about when they're in this window, their one chance to pass significant legislation is on the table with tax reform. and should roy moore go through this process of running, end up in the senate, he is going to dpom nature the conversation next year in a way that is simply harmful to republicans. he is already a controversial figure. he's already someone that mitch mcconnell and other republican leaders were worried about having in the senate in part because they felt he might not vote with them on major issues but also because he and this is a bit of an understatement tends to create a distraction with his rhetoric and his decisions. that was before those allegations today. it is just -- the potential for a big mess is just massive for republicans right now. >> michael, wha

her interview with hugh hewitt, clinton pointed the finger at president obama and even the mainstream media. listen to this. when you run to succeed a two term president of your own party historical head wind blowing against you. it is challenging when the press and not just the press on the right but the press in general decide that my emails are the most important story of the campaign that clearly was pounded day after day after day. i take responsibility for the mistake i made, but it was, you know, it was a pretty overblown scandal. >> judge jeanine: meanwhile, former obama cabinet member kathleen sebelius is slamming the clintons for their many attempts to cover up and attack those who accuse bill clinton of sexual misconduct. watch this. >> here we are 40 years later and very much the same atmosphere prevails and it's about power. it's never been about sex. it's all about power. and men who have power over women use that power in all kinds of ways. >> i voted for bill clinton twice. and i think he was a really fine president. a brilliant guy. committed public servant. but i knew, i mean, everyone in politics knew about his behavior. and we looked the other way.

threat to both parties and both sides bracing for more allegations to come, neither side feels confident claiming the higher, moral ground. i'm joined by msnbc political analyst, host of the "hugh hewitt show" and right here on msnbc. many hewitt, good to see you, my friend. >> thank you, katy. happy thanksgiving to you. >> thank you very much. a simple question for you. do you agree with the president when he says, essentially, that an accused pedophile is better than a democrat? >> no. i would not vote for roy moore. i am persuaded by the same standard that i apply to every one of the many cases we're surrounded by right now. preponderance of the evidence a layman has before them. there's stuff you and i don't know but i read the first "washington post" story about roy moore and i was concluding at that point that the preponderance of evidence was against him, could not vote for him, #write-inniksaban. al franken and john conyers should quit. and one standard, preponderance of the evidence. a simple, he said/she said is never going to be other than 50/50, but when there are corroborating details as there are in alabama with leigh corfman, i believe it's open and shut. >> then

and both parties say the plans mainly favor the rich and the legislation is being rushed through without careful consideration of its long term impact let's get a view now from charles hughes is upon us policy analyst with the manhattan institute for policy research he joins us live from washington d.c. good to have you with us what exactly will this plan this tax plan do one of the major provisions would be to reduce the corporate tax rate down to twenty percent as it currently stands. and it would also scale back some deductions and lower rates on the personal side so it would to some extent spur investment and boost economic growth why is it so important to get the corporate tax rate down what we've seen other major countries in the o.e.c.d. lower their statutory rates over the past decade the u.s. is one of the only ones to kind of stay in place over that period so in order to be competitive in an increasingly globalized economy it's important to reduce that rate that has one of the highest statutory rates but very few corporate entries actually end up paying that with all of that the loopholes and things that they can claim for. well part of the reason that they inves
