learned from roy cohn, either from actually involvement, or just watching roy cohn, because roy cohnas all about attack, attack, attack. >> yeah. yes, i do think he learned at his knee, if you will, and also at his father's knee. the difference between roy cohn's attack, attack, attack, and donald trump's. and this is by no means to defend roy cohn, is that roy cohn was a very bright guy. and he did everything in a highly calculated way, not in an impulsive way. >> it was thought out, it was planned? >> absolutely. he had figured out what worked. he was well educated. he was -- he was just plain smart. and he made those choices. he thought it worked. what he lacked, as trump lacks, was any underlying set of values or principles. so there was no -- you know, he was unimpeded. both cohn and trump were unimpeded by guilt or shame. >> but with trump, you're saying it's more gut? with roy cohn, it was more strategic? >> it's reactive. it's reactive. it's almost as if i could imagine that night that the hollywood access story was beginning to break and he was being surrounded by his aides

how do we get back to the relationship like you and roy blunt have? how do you get back to those times when the members of congress actually come together? will it be something very devastating? how many times -- 9/11 -- members of congress all got on the steps of the capital and held hands and saying "god bless america" ." we don't want something devastating to happen to the country in order to have that relationship again. how can you -- if you are in control for a day, how would you help that relationship between the two sides? >> i'd like to be in control for longer than a day to solve this problem. the problem -- in many respects -- not the making of nes, but technology -- first of all, has made it easier to go back and forth. the politics of america become much more confrontational and much more divided. politics have always been rough. lincoln was savaged. jefferson was savaged. this is not as the the public discourse has always been benign. that is not accurate. but we have now is a magnification of the discourse. and a christening of the disc

and roy moore ends up losing.o the president could change his mind and perhaps people that support blankenship who want something different to go in there and fire up washington. may realize the president will come around if he has to. >> i'm sure he would. i'm sure if they nominated blankenship that the republicans -- look, if the republicans could get behind somebody who was credibly accused on multiple occasions of sexual misconduct toward teenager girls i assume they could find it within themselves to come around for a fellow who was convicted of white collar crimes. though they were connected ultimately to very tragic incident. i suppose if they come around for roy moore they could come around for blankenship. the other thing here, this is unfair comparison. blankenship is not roy moore. >> dana: right. >> roy moore couldn't win as it turns out the alabama general election. there is no reason to think don blankenship would do substantially worse than either of the other two. i don't think either of the other

was attracted because roy it actually been indicted.oy was a tough guy and he had the proof of being tough. donald went for it and he's gone for that ever since. >> i thought today, when i saw the story about the doctor's office, i go to about the claim stormy daniels made, that in 2011, that a man just came up and sort of threatened her child in a parking lot in las vegas, and she understood it as connected to the fact that she was telling her story to a tabloid, and that in the absence of other context, that would seem an outlandish and preposterous story. >> right. >> what's your thinking when you see this today? >> that story is not the only story of its type. the president of media matters has a similar story, where he was approached by -- he was leading a campaign to -- >> a boycott. >> a boycott of trump's ties at macy's when he was approached by a man who he now recognizes as this man who trump sent to the doctor's office, to lay off or something bad was going to happen to him. there is a pattern of donald trump sending this par

roy cohn, either from involvement.attack. yeah, yes, i do think he learned at his knee if you will. and at his father's knee and the difference between roy cohn's attack, and donald trump's and this is by no means to defend roy cohn, is that he is a bright guy. and he did everything in highly calculated way. >> it was thought out and planned. >> absolutely. he figured out what worked and well-educated and just plain smart. and he made those choices. what he lacked as trump lacks was any underlying set of values or principals. he was unimpeded by guilt or shame. >> it is reactive. almost as if i could imagine the hollywood access tape, oh, they want to pull my teeth with no n anesthetic. >> the times reported that raising the idea to friends of his maybe it was not his voice on the "access hollywood" tape. >> so interesting that wonderful writer named jonathan hague who has been on the show, and writes about morality. and what he says and i agree is that the impulse comes up. he calls it the elephant. the writer -- ride

i just don't see anyone in a democratic primary like roy moore like there's just no democratic roy moore now. there just isn't. >> well, i mean, look, dennis kucinich has definitely said some bizarre things and he's still involved in a reasonably competitive race that's going on tomorrow as well. i'm not saying they're equivalent now and i definitely think there's kind of this air of triumphalism that is maybe a little over the top of what you see on the democratic side but i'm telling you that's the perception and that's what's fueling a lot of what you're seeing out there in terms of people just we'll be okay with anything as long as our guy wins. >> mona, what do you think? >> well, you notice that the president tweeted that people should not vote for blankenship, reminded them of what happened in alabama. but of course this is a real problem because the logic of the trump campaign was nihilism, let's blow it all up, the system is completely corrupt, you need somebody like me, you know, i'll be a wrecking ball, if you send me to washington. that was the logic of the trump appeal. and

and avowed atheist roy was paying a visit to don. as bookfair in feb twenty fifth teen while walking home with his wife he was killed by radical islamists wielding machetes. royce father is heartbroken a joy is a retired professor of physics and a human rights activist as a young man he fought in bangladesh is war of independence a joy roy did not want his son who was living in the united states to visit dhaka he warned that his books and blocking could spell his death at the hands of religious extremists. who have been spied on by at byers. he gave his wife. and here their motive big idea. why the bottom of under the. why pond of a hundred feet away. i have an idea. out there you know something. and he paid the price. and sometimes still opt out all i read about. of all i know what i look great is. your why over it why do you call it a. royal was one of five secular bloggers murdered in twenty fifteen none of the killers have been convicted when of e.g. roy was attacked police were nearby but they did not intervene. royce father say

this goes back to roy cohn, this is what he learned from him, this is what -- roy cohn believes you nevere an inch, you never apologize, you never concede anything and trump has lived by this his entire professional life, since he met roy cohn, why would he stop now since it got him to the white house. >> trump was ddoes one thing, wo you make of republicans on the hill who have worked with john mccain for years, refusing to say it to donald trump's face, he deserves an apology. >> i think it shows you how donald trump has changed washington, at least for a time and has changed american politics, what's interesting is that i have noticed something, we will hold anybody else to account for bad behavior for horrible things, get people fired, boycott for advertising, unless it's donald trump that's doing it. and he gets this weird pass right now. he gets a pass for anything he says, he gets a pass for anybody he insults. it's almost as if we have said -- you know who wrote this really well? george will in his takedown of mike pence. he excused trump saying well, he doesn't know any better, b

[bleep] scott. - [laughs] - so if you really wanna thank us, how about y'all change the laws to make it easier for us to vote? or sing our praises by giving us raises. or, at the very least, cancel winter. you know only white people like snow. - those are-- those are fair points, dulcé. so, you know what, let's move on and analyze last night's election.

republicans had a sure thing that they gave away because voters in alabama were insistent on having roy more. west virginia is different. this is a seat that has been in democratic hands since 1959. joe manchin has been elected four time statewide. this is not an easy out. this is not a gimme and the real problem with morrissey and jenkins is there is no positive argument, no conclusive argument, one of these other guys is good. it is not like that. this is a more rough and tumble race and blankenship can make just as good a case that he can run better than either of the two. >> even after the criticism from the white house and john junior, i am for you, you will love me when i get to washington because you don't understand i'm even more trump he then trabant can't wait to get there and support the pres.'s agenda. interesting back and forth between the two side. >> a lot has to do with mitch mcconnell and about enemy of don blankenship and don blankenship, no love lost and the senate majority leader, we don't want this guy no matter what. >> can we talk about indiana. a big republican g

roy, would you agree, roy sinclair, would you agree with that assessment that the problem is there needsh, totally, but there is help and support available. we are doing work at the moment in the philippines now with law enforcement there and they are agreeing to get involved with us and do their own prosecution around these gangs. we have done work in morocco as well that has seen a reduction in the offenders because of arrests there, significant arrests of organised crime gangs over there. so the work is taking place overseas, but we need victims to come forward, which we understand is a difficult thing to do, but with their information, we can pass it onto foreign law enforcement and get people prosecuted. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour, but first, the headlines on bbc news... two men have been convicted of murdering four children after throwing petrol bombs into their home when the family was asleep an army sergeant is found guilty of attempting to murder his wife by tampering with her parachute. north korea appears to have blown up tunnels at its only nuclear t

he endorsed the traditional candidate and backtracked and enorsed roy moore even after saying roy mooreldn't win. think it's how they read the tea leaves. >> he's been tweeting aboe th alabama special election and is tweeting about the the iran de. a self-imposed may 12 deadline. he says we'll have a decision tomorrow. he's been treatening to tak the u.s. out. are we in or out? >> it sems like everything he has been telegraphing and everything the europeans are saying they have done to try to convince him to stay in the del has not worked. so i think we're sitting in d.c. assuming he's saying he's going to pull out. what does that mean? it means the deadline saturday may 12 is whether we're going to slap sanctions back observe iran focertain things we lifted them for in the nuclear deal, and snapping those sanctions back on doesn't just affect ira and ited states, it affects some of our dealings with european cou, ntriwith whic-- whichis also part of it,a much larger economic problem, too. but seems like he's going s to pull ut. we can't know until he tells us. i haven't talk to anyone,

that's what roy moore was.tive candidate in that race came in third place. they had a very consistent tea party conservative who was drummed out of that race because he contradicted or rather he was critical of donald trump after the "access hollywood" tape. they want to divorce donald trump is too valuable today to divorce those two things. it is based on that. >> who are republican primary voters? are they republicans the way you know republicans? or is this something else? >> it depends on the race you're talking about. we are talking about 35% of the race. we're not talking about the joy of the republican candidate in the primarieprimaries. donald trump manages to secure that race throughout the entire primary campaign with about 35%. >> still he won on the republican ticket. wouldn't you say that's a majority of the republican party? >> sure. there are a lot of trump supporters that really hate the republican party and don't usually vote for republicans. so that's exactly why republicans in these races or

challenger roy moore.she broke the law the candidate should refund her donation and that she just assumed candidates will not accept what is over the limit. let's talk about rosie and those contributions with the next panel. democratic strategist and former senior advisor to hillary clinton's campaign and lisa boothe. great to see both of you tonight. let's talk about what we are talking about here. we will put these up. the five over the limit that we know about. doug jones, conor lam, adam schiff, lauren underwood and omar saeed. by the way, in reading her response to this she said basically i didn't know, i get really upset and sometimes i go online at night and i'm really frustrated with the president so then i donate. and that's what i do. what do you make of it? >> i think the only reason we are having this conversation, number one, is because of who was actually donating the campaign funds and who she was donating to. i'm in the political consulting business. i know how it goes. these mistakes happe

the voters decided that roy their guy. even though trump didn't endorse him. i think there's a couple reasons why cucumber doesn't -- this would em bolden. as scott said, >> you know, manchin has a much better chance at winning if blankenship is the republican nominee. i'm paraphrasing here, wackiest of wackiest. i was quoting a congressman from kentucky. running to be the craziest in the race. you calculate a third of the people want the craziest person. that's not a good recipe to win elections. i think donald trump should go to a full manchin if blankenship wins the nomination and beg him that they will promise to support him against blankenship in a general election. >> joe, you sat by patiently. >> let me go with an even bolder idea. blankenship wins and mitch mcconnell says, it's better to be in the country. what's striking here is in a tweet this morning. because he went to jail. he's a convicted. he's a raisist. vote for the other guy we don't want to lose the seat. i get that from political players and people in the race. from the president of the uni
