just in general about what king is saying about steve bannon and his role in the republican party, howe it moving forward? >> look, i think steve bannon made the mistake that a lot of people do when they first get involved in politics and you work for a campaign that wins, you think people voted for you and not the candidate. that's not the case. this was particularly toxic in alabama where bannon took the stage. you had a guy in jones -- i mean, in roy moore who came across as kind of a creepy guy and you combine him with bannon and as a guy with a drinking problem, might as well ended up driving around in a panel van with free candy on the side. it was daring for people in alabama not to vote for him. >> jeff? >> you think about james carville. he started wearing blue jeans everywhere he went and then suddenly every consultant wore blue jeans. it's an outsider look. he picked the wrong candidate. he should have done operation research. >> mary catherine, there was another person referring to steve bannon saying that his credibility is shot. do you think that's true or too broad? >> i

statement that he hopes, but other key republicans in congress are turning their back on steve bannon. peter kingg he ain't steve stivers toxic to president trump's agenda. >> i think steve bannon did the right thing last summer. i don't consider him a conservative. some irish catholic working guy. to me he looks like some drunk who wandered in off the street. i'm not trying to be sarcastic. racial division. >> steve den and i'm brave or radio saying he is not going anywhere and he is ready play the long game. neil: thank you very much. we don't know enough not heard anything more on this or whether he was still aggressively pursed to this. right now he's putting the pedal to the metal to protesters. the media is calling out trump pollution, but not a whole lot of proof. how does that work on the other side when there's a lot of anti-trump text messages from people on the inside of the justice department. where is the reporting? after this. i used to have more hair. i used to have more color. and... i used to have cancer. i beat it. i did. not alone. i used to have no idea what the american cance

we'll talk about steve bannon with peter king from new york who graciously agreed to join us on the show. he tweeted that the gop must do the right thing and dump steve bannon. what do you mean by that? and isn't that not your call to make? >> well, listen, i'm a voice within the republican party. more important than that, i'm an american. and i was not putting that out as a political tweet. it was governmental. i don't think steve bannon adds anything positive at all to the dialogue in the country. i don't know who can identify with him. and to see him on the stage this week with a big american flag behind him, he looked like a disseveraled drunk that wandered off the face. for him to be a major voice in politics is wrong. we should shut him, we should cut him off. i would say this whether he was a democrat or republican. i don't see what he adds to -- he encourages racial division. again, with the charges against roy moore, there's no way of knowing whether they are true or not. the fact is they were serious allegations. and roy moore never answered them. he gave some half-hearted deni

but he ultimately fell in line with steve bannon who thought he was a king maker. it's really interesting, and i thought about what you just said at the beginning, you were talking about numbers. i just think how women voted for the other candidate, for doug jones. and i think about how the president had 51% of white women in his corner, particularly those who married white women. 51% of married white women voted for the president. and look how women voted overwhelmingly for the democrat. and i'm thinking about those women who voted for the president. they voted for their husband's intere interests, according to gloria steinham. but now, look what happened in alabama, which still has high numbers of popularity for the president. they went in the opposite direction. this is a moment that is going to be a marker for this president. a huge marker. >> i want to ask you, david, because i said pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. that was a reference to the "wizard of oz" and steve bannon, when they finally go behind the curtain and they see it's not a god bac

joe, of course, i wasn't talking about you, i was talking about representative king and steve bannon. you're a republican. you chose not to vote for roy moore. why was that? >> right. because, as i stated earlier this morning, the things that you saw him talking about, the issues of the family, slavery, back in that time, that is a problem. and as a black man here in birmingham, alabama, there's no way i can vote for a guy who says those type of things to the american people. he doesn't fit my values or my community values. that's why i did a write-in. >> so doug jones got 96% of the black vote. hillary clinton only got 88% of the black vote in 2016 when voters went out to cast ballots for the presidential election last area. why do you think black voters were so much more motivated last night than they were in 2016? >> because right now, in birmingham, alabama, i can speak for us. we're tired of being played from side to side. what we have, katy, all the time is people want us, the gop wants us to come over and be a part of them. but when it doesn't go right, when you go back to the

. >> how worried are republicans over things like peter king in new york calling steve bannon a drunk, who has to get out of republican party. >> mitch mcconnell refusing to communicate with bannon. has it been made worse? >> i think it has been made worse. i think mitch mcconnell is cause of it. because of his involvement in primary process, dumping millions of dollar to back a cronyist shady guy. lutluther strange muddled things up, that resulted in roy moore's candidacy, he has trouble understanding the constitution. >> richard, what role did president trump personal behavior oralgations of personal behavior, play here. he won alabama by 28 point, and campaigned for moore. he campaigned for strange in primary. so, he gets voters of alabama in huge numbers, and republican party rejects him in 2017 and voters at large revec him. >> that say investing point. -- an interesting point, donald trump won alabama by 28 point, in 10 months republicans have now lost 29 points, because doug jones one by 1.7 points. part is because of roy moore, other part is because donald trump has not shown

you know, it does not help that steve bannon, who was thought to be a king maker, actually brought the president in on roy moore and roy moore was another loss. so this president has to really rethink how he is pushing forward his approval rating is down at 32%. and now he's got losses for candidates. he really has to go back and reassess and refigure how he can move forward if he's going to continue trying to back candidates. >> gloria, i wonder if some of this is somewhat predictable. 32%, approval rating. does the laws of gravity still apply that an unpopular and devd -- weigh down. >> if you look at a state like alabama. that's higher than the national level as you just said. so, you would have thought that in alabama, it might have had more weight. the problem in alabama also was the candidate. let's not forget. roy moore was a bad candidate with a bad history and the president supported him any way. taking his party down that road with him. i mean you know, republican national committee went along with it. and you know, i think now, the fight is going to be on in this republican

peter king here in new york tweets this morning, after alabama disaster, gop must do right thing and dump stevenon. i didn't know bannon was a gop official. but his act is tired, inane and morally vacuous. if we are to make america great again, bannon must go and go now. was this a democratic victory? was it a little bit of a win for the gop overall? confusing? let's discuss. ed martin and margaret hoover. great to have you both here. if i don't see you, merry christmas to you and your families. you lost a seat. that's bad. but you do not have me beating you over the head with roy moore from now through the midterms. is there a little bit of pass or mine us? >> i heard smerconish say that. the president used a good word, hard-fought election last night. priorities usa spent millions to turn out the vote. and so we were outspent, meaning the republican side, i don't know, 3, 4, 5 to 11. i think the party will have to regroup. look, i was someone who said roy moore deserved a chance. the people should speak is. the people spoke. the people should not drag this out. we should move on. and we will.

peter king unleashed all fury on steve bannon, the president's former chief strategist who pushed fors. >> this guy does not belong on the national stage. >> harris: some republicans are pointing fingers after roy moore's loss last night in alabama senate majority leader at mitch mcconnell's allies are facing off against the president's former strategist steve bannon who campaigned for moore. according to "the washington post," at least one person blames mcconnell. >> i'd like to thank steve bannon for showing us how to lose the reddest state in the union. former hillary clinton campaign staffer and back from "outnumbered," katie pavlich. i asked this earlier, the deputy secretary of the white house, where do you put steve bannon in the party now? >> i don't think steve bannon wants to be in the republican party, he made it very clear that his goal is to burn the republican party down. >> harris: to replace it with what? >> that's a question. we've seen over and over again, steve bannon doesn't have a great track record when it comes to choosing candidates. when it started to look lik

and this is what peter king had to say about steve bannon. take a listen. >> i don't think steve bannon is anything positive at all to the dialogue in the country. i don't know who to identify with him. and to see him on the stage with a big american flag behind him he looked like some disheveled drunk that wandered off the street, to have him become the face of politics i think is wrong. i think we should cut him off, and i'd say this as a democrat or republican. >> so who's to blame, mickey, for what's happened to your party? >> the party. for one thing krouds, chris, the president is sort of leading them off. no, they're jumping off the cliff. and it was the republican national committee that went into alabama and inexplicably put money into the race to help elect somebody who has been credibly accused oaf child moles station. and even before that, had said that his personal religious believes trumped the constitution. so the party is doing it to itself. and it's more suicide. trump is not killing it. trump is symptom. there's a lot wrong

some of the more establishment types, thought it was a good thing, peter king was very vocal and admonishiment of steve let's roll that. >> steve bannon, the president did the right thing in getting rid of him from the white house, last summer. i don't consider him a conservative. he says he's an irish catholic working guy. to me, he looks like a drunk off the street. i'm not saying that to be sarcastic. he has brought hate in politics, and it backfired in alabama. it really did. it backfired in the white house, very difficult situation for people who worked in the white house. i just don't see what steve bannon brings to the political scene, to the governmental scene. >> i think that kind of comment irritates most people. i don't think peter king should be talking about how someone appears when they walk into a room. that's petty stuff. but the reality is that you're seeing a part of the republican party wanting immediately to place blame on steve bannon. look, there's a lot of hands in this that need to relook how they handled. this a lot of people felt that mel brooks, who could have been the perfec

but peter king congressman has said that is enough of steve bannon, that he is not helpful to the partysagree, i think not helpful to the party and to candidates. i disagree, ithink he continues to the base just as the president does when he tweets. and president trump listens to a variety of opinions and he departed from steve bannon in terms of supporting luther strange. so he is a person that takes in a lot of different opinions but absolutely does not follow one playbook. thank you for coming in. great to get those thoughts. she said riding on the coat—tails of donald trump is at the heart and soul of the party at the moment. well take a look at this tweet... what do you make of that? democrats today are talking about the prospect ofan today are talking about the prospect of an election coming next year and that donald trump are so unpopular that donald trump are so unpopular that they will manage to take control of the senate again and also ta ke control of the senate again and also take seats in the house of representatives. the energy we've seenin representatives. the energy we'v
