i'm john gregory for abc news. >> and let's stay in la conchita. this video -- and you'll see why -- is getting a lot of views. that's a man putting his own life at risk to save a wild rabbit, captured by a photographer just off the road there, the man knelt down, stopped the rabbit in its tracks, gently picked it up and held it in his arms in an effort to get it to calm down. >>> 5:03 now. out of the east bay, the city council will meet behind closed doors again. the strike is going into its third day now. 3,000 city workers not going to work today and that means all nonemergency city services will remain closed. they want a two-year deal with a 4% raise each year. mayor libby schaaf says that would lead to job losses. city services include building permits, libraries, head start, senior citizen programs as well. all of those will remain closed today. >>> we have new details about a carjacking suspect as well who was shot and killed by a san francisco police officer. new information is emerging about that officer. reporter vick lee has information

let's bring in john avlon and gregory. the most recent polling that cnn would repeat is from the "washington post" taken around thanksgiving. statistical dead heat. you have the president all in. you have richard shelby the senior citizen down there -- the senior citizen. the senior senator. i love richard shelby. >> that's a big voice. the republican establishment. but there is a lot of people in the republican establishment who will come out against moore. he has been able to hang tough. not that there isn't damage done. the fact that this is such a close race shows you how much damage has been done by all the other issues viewed by so many as disqualifying about roy moore, his comments about russia in the past few days. his comments about 9/11, gay marriage, et cetera, 10 commandments. we almost forget how controversial he is. but it's a tight race. a couple of problems for the democrat doug jones. they are not used to having such a tight race. they get out the vote operation is really untested, not really this place. t

joining us are political analysts john avlon and gregory. it does not sound like the house intel committee got what they were looking for yesterday. in fact, adam schiff and jackie spear both talked about how he was not forth coming. let me play you jackie spears saying she thinks he might have amnesia. >> he has a very serious case of amnesia. and he was pretty nonresponsive on a lot of issues that he would have a recollection of considering it was just a year ago that many of the events took place when donald trump was the candidate. he was by his father's side. he was campaigning with his father. >> while he has had recall about what it was about and wasn't about that he wouldn't remember how to deal with it publicly, especially amid reports that his father is the president was dictating what the response ought to be from all of this from air force one. so that's problematic. but it also showings you this congressional kphaoelt is going to hit certain road blocks in getting to the bottom whether there was any attempt to obstruct this inve

. >>> 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.

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

and clinton's orders are to a ist john burgoyne in any way that clinton finds helpful. ms. gregory: may i interject? i understand that john burgoyne had no idea of what is going on and he expected howe -- mr. brookhiser: john burgoyne was following burgoyne's plan. and the only problem is that their plans were somewhat different. ms. gregory: there was no communicating. mr. brookhiser: well, howe is some because he is leaving 7000 men here which is no chop liver and they do have orders to assist. but howe is taking most of his men and going to philadelphia. let us pledge our attention and look first at what howe does. if he is not going overland, he has to lose -- he has to use the water. he could come up the delaware river. what he does instead is he sets forth from new york and of course, we lose touch with him. no drones. he is off at sea. where is he going? we only realize where he is going when he is spotted here. coming in here. then it is obvious. he must be going here which is in fact what he does. he sails all the way up the chesapeake bay and there is a little spot here t

bring in cnn political analyst john avlon and gregory. how unusual is it for any party to be this gung ho about a bill with this low of public ratings. only 26% of americans at the moment approve or support this republican tax plan. if you dive into it a little bit deeper, does it make you more or less likely to vote for a candidate who supports this? 43% less likely to vote for them. so why are republicans so gung ho. >> republicans are looking at this and saying we made a promise about tax reform. here's one we can actually deliver on. we will try to sweeten the deal. we're giving a little bit less of a corporate break, a little bit more on upper income individuals to make up for the hit they might take in high resident tax states. california, new york, new jersey, et cetera. and the gamble is making good is going to be better when you go to the voters, especially republicans who have not seen the party make good on their promises. even though it is riskier in the longer term. you are alienating a large part of the electorate. and you f

john and alisyn. >> ryan, thank you for all of that background. joining us is cnn political analysts 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.

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
