we did on a friday at trump tower, and leslie stahl, and i remember at the end being absolutely exhausted, and by monday or tuesday, or wednesday, i think we were going out, i went home, had a half hour to nap and my cell phone is wring ringing it and was the president-elect. i said, mr. trump, hi. he said, how big was that audience. did we break any records? oh, good. actually the president-elect interview with president-elect obama had 25 million viewers and you had 22 million viewers. it was the best audience without a football leadin that we have had in 20 years. he like that. anyway, it is an intense time, and i know that -- we know what he would be saying, the president of the united states calling the press the enemy of the people. i also believe it's the most invigorating time for the press. we did a very important story two weeks ago with the "washington post," and they -- talk about invigorator, marty baron, the bested for in america. they've got money from jeff bezos and they're doing an amazing job. we did a collaboration with them on a store you may have seen about the opioid

charlie: leslie stahl was next.e fbi running a staying on the bush-quell campaign? >> i don't know anything about that. jeff: another pillar of the broadcast. she was two years after steve. it is amazing. she came with more experience than anybody had. one of the things she brought come as they all have, was an amazing work ethic. people look at it and say how many stories is she doing. that requires a time. works atrespondent who 60 minutes does every single interview. travel, roadlot of time, and a lot of late nights trying to get a story together. charlie: that me catch up with your journey. born in massachusetts? jeff: yes. charlie: started in television there? jeff: 1977, graduated from college and got a job as a kid to help out basically. ended up in san francisco? jeff: got a job as a news writer in san francisco. charlie: when did you come to cbs? jeff: 1982. i was producing the 11:00 news at kpix and they needed someone who could produce a broadcast live. charlie: nightwatch was live for the first couple of

he made jokes about raping leslie stahl. >> he's been given credit by the left for calling for his own investigation. but we have the woman on quite credibly, she is not calling for his resignation. she wasn't even asking for an apology. she just said this happened. jesse: what about mock groping or potential groping. >> that photo is every woman's nightmare. this is doing nothing about it. this is not taking sexual harassment seriously. i was having flashbacks to the nonsense of the clinton era. years ago he was a comedian. i just want to know what the standard is. the things you are claiming about roy moore happened 40 years ago. jesse: we all remember james carville. he said when you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park this is what you end up with, talking about one of the women who had allegedly been with bill clinton. and hillary had a smear campaign against one of the her husband's accusers. it doesn't really hold up, does it. >> when clinton came out, george stephanopoulos, he brags about it in the war room. when that happened we were just a few years after anita hill and he

he is referencing a movie franken was involved in where he wanted to leslie stahl to be raped. he is facing an ethics investigation, fellow democrats condemned his actions was we have more on this story in just a bit. alabama voters want a strong moral leader to replace jeff sessions in the u.s. senate, democrat doug jones leads republican roy moore in the special election according to a new fox news poll released, 9% of people polled decide to vote for someone else. women support jones by a 26 point margin, when it comes to strong moral character. leah: tax or from a sexual assault, and shares of our parent company, 21st century fox jumping in after-hours trading on reports the renewed interest. lauren: tracy joins us with more on that and other headlines. >> a new suit is lining up, sent shares soaring 10% after the bell comcast closed out a fraction yesterday now expressing interest in buying a substantial piece of the company, verizon, which gained a fraction after-hours also possibly in early stages of looking at a deal and some of this -- sony approached fox. with the com

franken wrote a script or proposed a script about rape leslie stahl. this is trumpian in many ways, but in the context of the fact that he has not said a word, not tweeted a letter about roy moore. >> three things are really weird about that tweet starting with the fact that he talks about where his hands were going rather than actually showing sympathy for the victim in this picture on that kind of creepy and strange. the picture he decided to paint. the second thing is, there is a senate candidate in alabama who is credibly accused of pedophilia and he has not addressed that issue at all. it's hard to say one sexual assault is worse than another, but most people think pedophilia is about the evil crime someone could commit. finally, he is himself credibly accused of sexually assaulting women and arguably admitted as much on tape in the famous "access hollywood" tape. al franken is surprising given the fact that he has not dealt with the allegations except to say that they are all untrue. >> it's hard to believe that somehow the president would not ha

it evolved leslie stahl been passed out. when she was taken to a closet and raped.ote allegedly back about 12 years ago. that's i think he's referencing. demeaning women and abusing women that was humor to him that's about power and manipulation. and it is the most appalling behavior. and there's a photograph of it. there's a photograph. let me switch gears and get your take on this. the democratic seminar kristin gilder. --dash mike hildebrandt what do you think. i think she later clarified. we say that we have the access hollywood tape of now president trump you need to look at this all as a whole. i don't think we understand what those standards are. how do you evaluate the time what are the standards when you're looking at a political election versus legal proceedings. you differentiate there's a picture. what do you need to differentiate. as your own network has reported there are eight or nine women that have made allegations against the president. if they deny the allegations yet you have other evidence that you have their testimony. i'm inclined to believe a

all kinds of lewd and sexually offensive jokes, including one about actually drugging and raping leslie stahlshe's a cohost of 60 minutes. also tonight we have new photos that have been uncovered. they show franken groping huffington during a 2000 photo shoot. here you can see franken grabbing her breath. the second photo shows are behind and she's rushing to her defense saying they were just having fun in that people shouldn't be offended by the photos. the rest of the mainstream media won't tell you this, but this kind of gross behavior is part of a pattern when it comes to al franken. take a look at this photo from 2000. franken is seen right there inappropriately touching joy behar while they are on the red carpet together. just like huffington, she shares his politics and is downplaying the photo and defended his actions. look, i've known arianna for a long time. she and joy behar, if they don't think anything is wrong with that, that is their choice. but from the outside, it looks kind of creepy. it's probably something most people would think as well. i think many people will look at a

the president's comment about leslie stahl appears to address a discussion about franken writers wherejoke of a scenario where stahl is assaulted. franken said, the extremely dark joke was never intended to air on television. >> i want to talk about trump's reaction. here's what i think is going to be fascinated to watch. obvious obviously countless women came forward with alleges about trump before he was elected. the same way rose gauer and ashley judd have come out, and i wonder if women will say, you know what? i'm not afraid. >> look at papers and look at twitter and look at the wire feed, and it's not only the big celebrated cases about people who are famous across the country that we talk about here, but everywhere in the country on lower levels of state legislatures everywhere, this is coming out. so i do think that, assuming there are other women who have something to say about president trump, i think they'll come out. >> and there is a change in the environment. look at the way donald trump attacked his accusers when he was running for president. he hasn't yet attacked the a
