gloria borger joining me now, chief political analyst, michael moore, former u.s. torney, jeffrey toobin, cnn's chief legal analyst and former federal prosecutor and jim sciutto the chief national security correspondent. keep our eye to see if michael flynn will be leaving and what more we learn from the courtroom, but gloria, as we do that, just taking stock of this moment, what does this all mean? >> well, look, i think you have the very senior person who didn't last long in this administration, but somebody who was quite close to the president, at the heart of foreign policy admitting that pleading guilty to lying to federal investigators about conversations with foreign governments. and i think it's incredibly serious. i think there are tentacles that will come out of this and questions that we should be asking that come out of this, which is, was he taking direction from anyone? was he freelancing when he spoke during the transition with ambassador kislyak about important matters of state? was he freelancing or was he directed? and was he freelancing when he sp

michael goodspeed do so for interrupting you there full pentagon official michael moore and here is my guest ok meanwhile washing does the season on the status of jerusalem prompted an emergency session of the u.n. security council this go to new york now we can speak to our correspondent. caleb a significant meeting what was said. well at the emergency session of the fifteen members of the united nations security council fourteen of those members stepped up and criticized the united states for its decision regarding recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and announcing that it would move its embassy this is what we heard from the fourteen members of the security council we regard east jerusalem as part of the occupied palestinian territories. we therefore disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and unilaterally to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel before a final status agreement. we regret the decision announced by the president of the united states to recognize jerusalem as the capital of his room clearly disagree with the recognition of groups

attorney michael moore here, michael zeldin, former federal prosecutor worked under special counsel bob mueller when they were at the justice department together and elian na johnson, a national reporter for politico. michael moore, first to you, on this back and -- it's -- maybe it is a back and forth between the transition and the mueller team, the transition writing this letter releasing it, writing this letter to congressional investigators saying the mueller team improperly obtained e-mails through the -- of the transition, folks, tens of thousands of e-mails of transitions folks, is there anything there to this? >> no. i really don't think there is, kate. when you're unhappy with the way an investigation is going, what do you do, attack the investigators and try to somehow bring doubt into the investigative process and question their credibility. it's incredible to me, i will say this, to have anybody associated with trump or his administration to call others corrupt or xroe xroe mice is about like being told by a skunk that you smell bad. i think that in this case, there's nothin

michael moore, thanks to all of you. we will see some of you coming up. still ahead, senate republicans passing their tax plan. why does it feel like it was such a long time ago? it was yesterday morning. getting it to the president's desk is still far from a done deal. could changes potentially this week during the process hurt the bill's chances of passing? with nine days until the alabama special election, doug jones gaining an edge over roy moore, but alabama voters are still very much divided on the allegations and whether they will ultimately decide this race. the allegations, that is. we'll be right back. e. they add thousands of new deals every day at up to 60% off. that's how kaley and i got to share this trip together at this amazing hotel. yeah ash and i share everything - dresses, makeup, water bottles... we do? mmhmm. we share secrets, shoes, toothbrushes... what? yeah i forgot mine so i've been using yours. seriously? what's the big deal? i mean, we even dated the same guy. who?! uh, go to priceline and get the hotel deals you won't find any

i'm joined by michael moore, former u.s. attorney, cnn c contributor, former ambassador, and obama straks. and a republican and former lieutenant governor of south carolina. so ambassador eisen, even though the president mentioned 16 times there was no collusion, he took a measured tone on mueller, he said at least three times he thinks he'll be fair. what does this tell you? >> well, ana, thanks for having me back. and the president's remarks, his faith in mueller's fairness will welcome. i know bob mueller and worked with him, worked against him, and he is skrcrupulously fair, tough but fair. so the president is correct about that. it tells me the president's lawyers have convinced him that he stands to emerge unscathed from the investigation. that the odds are on his side. it may claim others. michael flynn surely didn't do that plea deal just to go on vacation, he's going to testify against someone else. but he may or may not. that's a gamble. lawyers don't always win their gambles. >> andre, the contrast with what we ar

michael moore will get $50,000 from a state school during an election year, to election year for thedemocrats. the supreme court, republicans have to get an exact amount of the same amount of money to adhere to the constitution. that didn't happen. i want a list of all the speakers invited by their professors and the student organization and i want them within a year, between republicans and democrats, the third thing i want is i want -- i will have a committee look over your facultys and i want you to begin an affirmative action program to diversify your faculties. i could throw universities names on it and it didn't matter which one i hit. you have a law faculty, 50 to 100 law professors. maximum two or three republicans to consider this. you can't tell me republicans aren't lawyers. i want you to begin the program, i want a progress report every semester to see your progress and then i will take your phone calls for your projects. will that happen? there is only one republican, actually there are two that i know who would do. one of them is the president of the united states and t

michael moore -- you know? he doesn't come up to them. >> and lenin at the time, that was the first time but now -- >> don't have -- how did the left react to the collapse of the soviet union, the death of 40 million people, the starvation, the glug, how do they react? that wasn't real socialism. we are smarter than lenin, then i could go on and on. that is the way people think. they are arrogant and they are stupid. and there is so much emotional satisfaction, it is a religion. a consolation for all the disappointments of life. that is what it is. to take that away from them, i described in my book radical son, personal crisis i went through when i realized marxism is a load of crap. it was everything to me. it made everything i did important and that is the way it is for every leftist. you can see in their contempt, their utter contempt for people who disagree with them, their arrogance, lack of respect, it is astounding. you see it every day on television, you see idiots like joanne reed or lawrence o'donnel

michael moore -- [laughing] you know, he doesn't come up -- [inaudible] -- and see that linen at the time was the first time but now we have -- >> we don't have -- look, how does the left react to the collapse of the soviet union, the death of 49 people, the starvation, the gulen. how did they react to it? that was a real socialism. we are smarter than them. i could go on and on. that's what people think. they are arrogant and they are stupid. what more can you say? and there's so much emotional satisfaction, it's a religion, a consolation for all the disappointments of life. that's what it is. you take that away from them. i described in my book radicals on the personal crisis i went through whatever lies that marxism is a load of crap. it was everything to me. it made everything i did important, that's the way it is for every leftist. and you can see by the way in their contempt, they're at a content for people disagree with them, their arrogance, the lack of respect. it's astounding to use it everyday on television. use idiots like joy-ann reid or lawrence o'donnell, pathological

michael moore already winning the day.said not once, but twice on tv something i never say without biting my tongue, quid pro quo. >>> the message to alabama voters from washington has been the following, stay out of our senate race. so why then is someone straight from washington making all the news today in alabama? we're live in alabama. we'll take you there. >>> plus, breaking news. massive fires in california threatening thousands of homes and some of the busiest highways in the country. we'll take you there live. what's happening right now. run, jthe power of in to tempur-pedic sleep with our 90-day trial and being the highest ranked mattress in customer satisfaction by jd power, it's easy to love. find your exclusive retailer at tempurpedic.com alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. wifiso if you can't live without it

it's as if the fbi had michael moore investigating the president of the united states. the lead agent on mueller's team agreed it was his job to protect the country from that menace. the trump-hating fbi agent also says there is no way trump gets elected, but i'm afraid we can't take that risk. it's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you are 40. this conversation occurred in the office of andrew mccabe, the fbi's deputy director. this is smoke gun evidence that the fbi director believed it was their duty to protect the country from his presidency. mule for fired this agent last summer but the damage was also done. this fbi agent also led the hillary investigation and helped comey comon exonerate her. he led the trump investigation for full year and interviewed nuke flynn without a lawyer present. but the scary part is we may have proof the investigation was what he pines to destroy his presidency for partisan political purposes and disenfranchise millions of american voters. if that's true, we have a coups on our had hands in:america. they nee

attorney michael moore to talk about all of this.his wife who was running a couple of years ago in 2015 for state senate in virginia allegedly getting money from the clintons. first let's start with a reality check. the fact of the matter is that money came from the governor of virginia. terry mcauliffe. he is an ally of the clintons, but it didn't come from the clinto clintons. let's start with this. it's not new to attack the fbi or top officials, but this personal erroneous information coming from the president of the united states tells you what? >> let me say first in complete disclosure that i signed a letter encouraging chris wray's confirmation as fbi director and i think he say professional. i know he knows the truth that you cannot respond to everything that the school yard bully says. my guess is he is probably laying back knowing when you look at the history of trump and his tweets and the fact that he can't control his twitter thumbs or his mouth, he has given him enough road to hang himself. i don't lead anything in the

look it these are very smart people, michael moore, he doesn't come up. >> so now it's the first time but now. >> look, how does the left react to the collapse of the soviet union? the deaths of 40 million people? how do they react? that was a real socialism. we are smarter. we could go on and on. that's why people think. they are arrogant and stupid. there's so much emotional satisfaction it's a religion in a consolation for all the disappointments of life. that's what it is i describe in my book the personal crisis i went through when i realize it marxism is a load of crap. it was everything to me. it made everything i did important. we can see by the when the contents for people who disagree. the arrogance, the lack of respect, it's astounding. you see it every day, you say idiots, pathological liar in the case of o'donnell, but just a moron in the case of joanne -- why she more? there's no empathy or respect for people who disagree with her. >> i like to make a point they mention briefly in passing my wife is a teacher, the second largest public school district in the united state

it's as if the fbi had michael moore investigating the president of the united states.

a lefty in alabama is like a slice of pie on michael moore's lap. [ laughter ] >> it disappears or somewherets lost. [ laughter ] >> and the president has already moved on. >> the directive i'm signing today will refocus america's space program on human exploration and discovery it. marks an important step in returning american astronauts to the moon for the first time since 1972 for long-term exploration and use. greg: yes, we're had thing to space, reminds me of a movie. >> in a world of earth and gravity and bottomless brunch, one man wasn't satisfied and dared to dream big. >> we're dreaming big. >> this christmas, or hanukkah or other non-judeo-christian holiday you celebrate. dust off your space boots cowboy, we're going to the moon, for real this time, not faked on a soundstage, and mars. >> eventual mission to mars. >> though, we're not really sure when, we're definitely going, probably. from the producers of executive action parts 1 through 9, we lost count, donald trump, mike pence and sam elliott as astronaut elliot sam. executive directive, return to the moon for the first time,

michael moore. and counterterrorism expert and analyst bill we also have with us. thank you for being here. i appreciate it. wanted to touch on something the president said when he was talking about the fact and he was asked if they were concerned about what might happen with special counsel mueller and flynn and he said no i'm not at all worried. there was no collusion. if there is nothing for the white house to fear, april ryan, why would flynn enter into -- and we do know it was a plea agreement, with the special counsel. what does he have to contribute? >> right. well, let's take a couple steps back. remember, a few weeks ago, sarah huckabee sanders said that they had heard that the mueller investigation was coming to an end. that is truly not the case. it looks like. and she back pedalled that day. saying we are hopeful. so their hopes have been dashed. when i talked to a republican source who is very familiar with the legalities of cases like this as well as close to the administration says when there is a plea deal, they said, there is going to be someone th

it's as if the fbi had michael moore investigating the president of the united states.

. >> that's michael moore, by the way. one of the speakers at the march.s been wearing that red cap since he did his recent film. it's actually meant to i believe signify colin kaepernick and his solidarity with colin kaepernick's silent protest. the other nixon obvious sort of connection here is that watergate was about the break-in of theemocratic national committee. how ironic here we are that the eak-in was done by the russians. >> this feels like richard nixon's third term. but we're much better at fighting it. i think what we're seeing is people putting aside narrow agendas, to come together for a march like this. i think it's really the beginning of something. i think it's something very, very different. >> moveon.org, which of course is an advocacy organization, was the one saying it was the president defiling the white house and bringing down our national discourse. is there something about donald trump that evokes what we're seeing behind us? this huge reaction? and is it really just as simple as him being vulgar on that access hollywood video? >

we had michael moore on yesterday and he described mueller is the kung fu master of prosecutions, heocused on the periphery and now he is going after the money, looking at deutsche bank. what is the president going to do about that? i think the president has said that could be a red line and that might be perhaps the strongest demonstration of the president being worried about what mueller could find in probing the financial relationships that connecting craps through deutsche bank to some of the russian oligarchs. i think perhaps that is what i would call the consciousness of guilt and normally in this line of guilt and normally in this line of work you find the more someone complains about a line of investigation but more likely it is that there is something a person does not want to be uncovered. where does not want to be uncovered. where do you stand on the tweet he sent out at the weekend pretty much accepting that he knew that general flynn had lied to the fbi, do you think that in itself has implications for the president in terms of obstruction ofjustice?” think it does and t

michael moore will get $50,000ing from a state school -- $50,000 from a state school during an election year. he ran the shackers tour. the supreme court -- the slackers tour. the supreme court has already said that means republicans have to get an exact amount of the same amount of money just to adhere to the constitution. of course, that isn't happening or hasn't happened. so i want a list of all the speakers invited by your professors and by your student organizations. and i want, within the year i want absolute parity between republicans and dem the accurates, leftists -- democrats, leftists and conservatives. and the third thing i want is i want you, i will, again, i will have a committee look over your faculties. and i want you to begin an affirmative action program to diversify your faculties. you have a law faculty, and i can throw a dart at a board with universities named on it, and it didn't matter which one i hit. you have a law faculty with 50 or 100 law professors and maximum two or three are republicans or conservatives. you can't tell me that republicans aren't lawyers. s

joining me from atlanta is the former us attorney michael moore.closer is this russia investigation getting to the white house and the president? i think white house and the president? ithink in white house and the president? i think in the last few weeks you've seen the moves starting to tight around the president and his administration. bob mueller, not necessarily doing anything innovative but using that classic prosecutor style, working his way up the line, and he has done that. he is the kung fu master of prosecutors, guests. no sweat about the pressure to his foes. we have seen it with mike flynn and i think he will exert pressure onjared kushner, as he gets closer to the president. i'm sure that would make for interesting dinner conversation! certainly the people at the white house are starting to feel the pressure. i'm sure the president is. i think that's why you are seeing these crazy tweets from donald trump. bob mueller probably recognises, it's like newton's law, what action creates an equal and opposite reaction? he has figured that o

in europe but european politicians trouble to provide counters for all those who fled wait for michael moore and the refugee crisis inside our lives and i'm shocked at the fact this week on d w. i've. there was relief on the faces of european union leaders after they gave a green light to the second phase of divorce talks with britain however negotiations of the summit fails to resolve the migration question regarding mandates of the refugee quotas for member states. after some late night horse trading republicans in the us congress have finally unveiled the huge tax reform as a president yesterday if tax reform passes taxpayers will see more money in their paychecks beginning in february with support from republicans the bill is all but guaranteed approval next week just in time to give president donald trump the christmas legislative trial of he's been seeking. four palestinians have been killed in clashes with israeli forces in gaza and the west bank the violence came during fresh protests against president trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital dozens more wounded. police i

. >> you say go to the dollar store, michael's, ac moore and get one of these things. >> anything thawl get through winter but anything like that, that you like and that can be attached to the top of the wreath with a hook or some piece of twine. >> then you said pay attention to the theme. >> so is what our theme. our theme is snow. >> yes. >> show us what you have. >> we have snow flakes. we have red berries. and is there two of each. >> okay. >> so that we can make it symmetrical. some people dent like symmetrical, some people like -- >> i'm with you. >> that is how i like to do it >> and then we have a bow. the bow coordinates with the cardinal that is on the snow man. >> so that is your theme there >> yes. >> you guys have like real wreaths, real garland, guys are cutting it all up. say hi to the wife's on tv. nope, running away say hello. so these are massive operations. so because it is so big we can do less. >> yes. >> show us what we need to do over here, these things. >> for the wreath, going on over there, we are going to end up like this, when he gets done. >> okay you say

. >> reporter: michael says roy moore's rhetoric harkens back that age. >> i had to make the decisionare we going back or not? and it really was no decision. we can't go back. >> reporter: which is why he came up with this slogan. >> you didn't have to want to vote for doug jones to take the sign. it was a vote for republicans and democrats to say, hey, no more. we're not going to have this anymore here. >> reporter: the rnc sensing control of the senate is hanging in the balance is calling for republican support on capitol hill. but even the highest-ranking republican in the senate has questioned whether moore deserves a place in their party. >> he's obviously not fit to be in the united states senate. >> reporter: and the senior republican senator from alabama telling cnn his home state can do better. >> i didn't vote for roy moore. i wouldn't vote for roy moore. i think the republican party can do better. >> wow! >> a democrat hasn't won an alabama senate seat in 25 years. >> they're not in the practice of voting for democrats. and roy moore and his campaign have effectively said t

took office, and now you have the mueller investigation, and these investigators might as well be michael mooredonald trump. so i think the bias is seen, the voters see the bias. i think this witch hunt, it's time for it to come to an end. we do see evidence of collusion. we see evidence at hillary clinton's campaign and the dnc funded a fake trump dossier that obama took and used for a fisa warrant to then wiretap and surveil the trump team. david: right. it was more than that. lee, i think back to that insurance comment that peter strzok made, if the president does get elected despite all of our knowledge that he won't, we've got this insurance policy. and apparently, the trump dossier was -- and, again, it was like a drug dealer dealing heroin to a drug addict. i mean, these people were eating it up. everybody who hated trump was eating up every page of that dossier no matter how much b.s. was in it. >> well, it's like a movie. i mean, literally you have -- i don't want to call it the deep state, it should be called the deplorable state, and it's a deplorable state of affairs when you have p

. >>> democrats are calling for the resignation of a maryland lawmaker with ties to roy moore in alabama. michael peroutka was elected as the chairman of the anne arundel county council last week. the republican has been a longtime supporter of roy moore donating to his campaign and campaigning on moore's behalf. the capitol newspaper, democrats called on the republican to relinquish his position as council chairman and resigned from the council. he has since had no comment. >>> speaking of roy moore, the countdown to election day is on as voters in alabama will decide whether he or his democratic challenger doug jones will represent alabama senators. mola lenghi has more on the high-stakes race. >> reporter: >> reporter: less than a day to go before the special election in alabama. democrats hope a big turnout will make the deep red's state first democratic senator in 25 years. >> this is the man's going to >> so get out and vote for roy moore. >> [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: president donald trump recently stepped up his efforts for roy moore. on friday the president held a rally in p

. >> these two cbs starts, michael weatherly and shemar moore have signed up for two different photo shoots. no surprise because they're both hams and love the camera. but michael is in his element on the streets of new york. >> i did a little leap in the air with a painting of a cow. there were some wool garments. there was some sweating because it is summertime in new york, but we're pretending it's fall. >> hey, shemar do you want to go to maui? twist my arm. real tough. >> two photo shoots. two covers of cbs watch magazine. for the bulls star, it was five hours in the middle of manhattan doing balancing tricks on top of a box and posing with man's best friend. for shemar, it was all about bss in maui. >> i'm going back to my mervin's and jcpenney days and standing along the rocks and the ocean and doing my vogue pose and just making it up as a go. >> pickour laundry. pick up your trash. pickour next copy of watch magazine fast. >> on the way -- >> are you enjoying married life? >> no major injuries right now. >> inside matt lauer's married life. why his firing isn't the first stor

adrianna: lots to talk about in the world of politics, from michael flynn to president trump's recent support for alabama candidate roy mooret with michael flynn and the president's tweets getting him into trouble. rick: they are digging in further. the president tweeted that he knew flynn lied to the fbi. if that is the case, that is something we didn't know about previously that would suggest another level of the white house lawyers are saying we wrote the tweet. that is a slippery slope. piggybackingd of off of that, his attorney's defense is that the president can not commit obstruction of justice because he is the president. what you make of that? rick: it is a novel defense. mp peach met articles against nixon and clinton specifically said obstruction of justice. that is a tough legal argument. there is a narrow sense where it could be true. if he is just doing his official job like firing james comey for any reason he wants, that is not in itself obstruction, but there are actions that could be a steak. i do not think democrats or republicans will save the president does it it cannot be ille about-face from the repub

michael flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. over his links to the then russian ambassador to the united states his luck with latest details here's artie's caleb moore pretty. we have michael flynn pleading guilty to charges of making false statements to federal agents now this is a guilty plea and it's been entered in court at this point he's facing a sentence of between zero and six months in jail as well as a possible fine of up to nine thousand five hundred dollars now of course the mainstream media is in an uproar there's talk about the rush investigation all kinds of things are being made in the press this is being treated as a very big story out a very earth shaking event but it's quite interesting let's recall how michael flynn stepped down as national security adviser let's remember donald trump's explanation to thing is he didn't or vice president. properly and then he said he didn't remember so either way it was a very satisfactory to me when he was serving in the trumpet ministration mr flynn misled vice president pence and now it appears that he's pled guilty to misleading federal agents now at this point you know the white house has co

michael steele. and at the roy moore rally in midland city, charlie pierce a writer. there is strategic jeans you steve bannon. and charles barkley who is actually an alabama native on stage at the doug jones rally there is a lot of big guns in different ways. charlie, tell me what it's like down there. what you've sort of picked up from your reporting on the race. what are you seeing? >> well, we're having a right find hoot nanny here in midland city tonight. we've got david clarke. we've got louie gohmert. we've got steve bannon on stage now. and we're actually going to get a proof of life on the candidate, judge roy moore, who nobody has seen for six weeks. i tell you one thing, chris. nobody knows anything about tomorrow. any poll numbers are completely worthless. there are so many subterranean dynamics at work in this race. that it could -- i think that fox poll is science fiction. but no result tomorrow will surprise me. >> michael, how did -- i was watching alex burns of "the new york times" recapping the steps that brought the republican party to this point wh

if that's the case, and that's good for moore, but just to answer your question about how do people square or even michael's point -- >> believing the allegations yet voting for roy moore. >> it goes back to something kellyanne conway said last year that i found to be really profound. i had a tough time reconciling that also. she said it was, for people, it was about what affected them, not what offended them. so how does it personally affect me? and that's how people were looking at the issues with donald trump. i think they're doing the same thing here with roy moore, to abbey's point about being single issue voters. i think that's problematic because that's how we got to a roy moore situation in the long run. i think people need to stop being so myopic because there are bigger issues here at play. one senator is not going to overturn roe v. wade. one senator is not going to make a difference with gay marriage, but that's how the voters of alabama feel. >> robby, what's your take overall? >> i think what's important here, first of all, exit polls have led us astray a lot of times. i take them with a grain

moore. >> kaylee, thank you very much. >> let's bring in cnn analyst maggie haberman and most of" smerconish" michael smerconish. did you have jones winning last night? >> i didn't have either winning last night. i think the indicator was when the exit polls showed that moore believed the accusers by a margin of 49-45. >> more people. >> than disbelieved, right. >> moore certainly does not believe the accusers. >> i said yesterday this was very unusual in so far as each national party needed to root for the other guy. so i believe that last night was a big victory for the gop. >> because? >> they have rid themselves of roy moore. others have noted this. every republican in the 2018 midterm would have been saddled with this guy for the next year. so they have vanquished themselves of this individual. >> but there are a lot of people in the white house who do feel that way. >> but they lost a seat. >> they would rather lose the seat -- again, they meaning some of these advisers we're talking about. certainly i don't think mitch mcconnell didn't want to lose the seat but he didn't want to have to own this. they didn

moore. this question from michael b. this is an interesting question. are on death row -- which we know will happen. what is your request for your last meal? >> kimberly: obviously, i will never be on death row. i would say... >> juan: wow. >> kimberly: i would have to say it would have to be something involving salami, like, pepperoni pizza. >> greg: that would be good. kimberly something like that. maybe some mcdonald's, the chicken nuggets, i definitely love pigs in the blanket. what else, do you think? >> jesse: i've got one. all-you-can-eat buffet because you can keep eating and never stop and you never get fried. >> greg: there you go. >> juan: and you think jesse watters is a dummy... what do you got? grade: what do you >> dana: she takes dough, rolls it out, takes hamburger meat, cabbage, rolls it into a pocket, and you bake it. doesn't it make your mouth wate water? >> juan: i guess i would have crabs and beer. emily: you could have ice cream. >> juan: what we are talking about, if you are going, you want comfort food. >> dana: what about you?

there's no doubt the president's endorsement will boost turnout for roy moore next week. >> sandra: michaelnd jason, thank you. lot happening this afternoon. good to have both of you here 37 a major case in front of the supreme court. whether a business owner has the right to refuse to serve a gay couple on religious grounds. the owner of master piece cake shop in lakewood colorado said freedom of religious was his decision to refuse to design a wedding cake for a gay couple. the couple call it discrimination. shannon bream joins us from the supreme court with more on this. good afternoon, shannon. >> it was a very heated argument inside these walls. behind me the nine justices bantering with the four different attorneys who were arguing the case. it was one of those hot benches. they didn't let anybody answer a question. they were talking all over each other. there's a lot at stake. as you mention, this is something that pits religious freedom of this baker. he's a christian. he's done things like turn away events that he doesn't want to be objectionable. he closes sundays so people can go

moore. what he's done and what he stands for, it makes us republicans and us christians look bad. chris: michaelhe politics of roy moore thing in terms of the sexual harassment issue. also does moore win, and if he wins, will the republicans in the senate refuse to seat him or vote to expel him which we heard a lot of talk about in the beginning, we're not hearing so much about now? >> yeah. i think it looks like roy moore will win, and it looks like they'll have a senate ethics investigation if he comes there, and i think he should welcome that. he will be a more effective legislator if these allegations can be investigatedded, if the truth can come out, and the entire united states senate can be more effective at legislating if rather than every time you walk down the hall you have to talk about this, that or the other and instead can point to an investigation. it relates to al franken. the other thing that didn't come out is that al franken had absolutely no interest in being a serious legislator. he introduced 141 pieces of legislation, not a single one in his entire career including time wi

moore. is franken done with politics, or did it suggest suggest different? let's discuss with michaelonish and news host carrie miller. michael, i've read your notes. are you going full conspiracy theory here on what al franken has up his sleeve? >> no, not at all. and if he should resign, i will not be wrong in what i'm saying. >> you say if he should resign. you don't believe that was a resignation announcement? >> i encourage people to take the time to do what i have done which is not only watch it but to parse the statement. alisyn, if he had been announcing yesterday that he was staying in and fighting probably one sentence would have needed to be changed and, and he that's it. he absolutely absolutely nothing. there was no contrition in the way he went about it. and i can't help but read it, wonder was it a trial balloon of sorts, leaving the door open just a bit to see what transpires tuesday in alabama giving him an opportunity to revisit the subject. >> let's play this out one more time with you. so if roy moore wins, you think it is possible that al franken left the door ope

doug jones or roy moore gets elected tomorrow, tax bill vote could be as soon as the day after that. joining us now is michaelss, nbc news presidential histori historian. mr. beschloss, lovely to see you. thank you for being here. >> thank you. lovely to see you, rachel. >> in bringing up the relationship between president nixon and alabama politics at his time of crisis, i am borrowing your attention to that precedent. is that just a historical echo that's uncanny? are there lessons we can take from that? >> it really is uncanny. i think the team tonight of that story is a saying that nixon knew well, which is "revenge is a dish best served cold." wallace was getting revenge because 1970 wallace was running in the democratic primary for governor against the incumbent albert brewer. nixon wanted to wipe out wallace in this gubernatorial primary because he was worried that wallace would run third party in 1972 again and rob him of the presidency as he had nearly done in 1968. so nixon poured all sorts of secret money into brewer's campaign, gave brewer all sorts of secret help, which wallace knew and the resul

moore. what he's done and what he stands for. it makes us republicans and us christians look bad. >> chris: michael, talk about the politics of the in terms of the sexual harassment issue. also, does he win, and if he wins, will the republicans in the senate refuse to seat him or vote to expel him? we heard a lot of talk about in the beginning, we are not hearing so much about now. >> i think it looks like roy moore will win and they will have a senate ethics investigation if it comes there. and roy moore should welcome that. he will be a more effective legislator if these allegations can be investigated, if the truth can come out. if that's not something that hangs over him and the entire senate can be more effective at legislating rather than every time he walked them all you have to talk about this, that or the other end instead can point to an investigation. it relates to al franken and the other thing that didn't come out in this conversation about al franken is that he had absolutely no interest in being a series legislator. he introduced 141 pieces of legislation amendments, not a single one of his entire career was ever s
