those who say the american people knew he was accused and elected him, are not cognizant, we never heard from his women. herelector processes and to hear fromed such accusers. even with the free press, they didn't come forward. they have come forward now because women have found strength in numbers. having seen others come forward, these women are coming forward now to. are we supposed to sit on our hands? were not going to examine these ssues? we will be held accountable for letting this one pass by. there isn't any ethics committee for the president e kensignton to so what is the next test thing? next best thing is to have investigation in the house of this and it. guest: -- host: iraqis -- you are asking for an investigation of the house will 10. can you explain? guest: why was it addressed to this committee? it's the one committee in the congress that has a written to address any issue at any time. this matter falls out of the oversight government committee. host: here's a response to this request. this committee nor any committee can prosecute crimes dealing with sexual assault. gue

and, again, the american people knew this and voted for the president and we feel like we're ready to move forward in that process. >> reporter: sanders made that claim despite mr. trump being caught on the "access hollywood" tape breaking about forcing himself on women. >> i just start kissing them. i don't wait. when you're a star, they let you do it. >> take a look. you take a look. look at her. look at her words. you tell me what you think. i don't think so. i don't think so. >> reporter: u.n. ambassador nikki haley appeared to differ somewhat with the white house view that the issue of the president's past behavior was settled in the last election. >> women who accuse anyone should be heard. they should be heard and they should be dealt with, and i think we heard from them prior to the election and i think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up. >> reporter: before the election, the trump campaign tried to argue past behavior does matter, pointing to women who have accused former president bill clinton of misconduct. >> bi

and, again, the american people knew this and voted for the president and we feel like we're ready to move forward in that process. the president said it's a good thing for women to be able to feel comfortable in coming forward generally speaking. >> i just want to go off that. the president told howard stern in 2005 he walked into a teen beauty pageant dressing room where he said teen contestants had no clothes on because he could sort of get away with things like that. is that not an admission of sexual harassment. >> the president has spoken on the subject. there's no more comments on the subject. >> the isis inspired attacks in new york city, and just recently is the president concerned that there's a growing threat against people inspired by isis who have been radicalized online? >> i think the president is certainly concerned that congress particularly democrats have failed to take action in some places where we feel we could have prevented this. specifically, the president's policy has called for an end to chain migration and if that had been in place, that would have prevented

again, the american people knew this and voted for the president and we feel like we're ready to move forward on that process. reporter: you think it's a good thing the women who accused him are coming forward snow sarah: the president said it's a good thing for women to feel comfortable in coming forward generally speaking. reporter: i want to go off of that. the president told howard stern in 2005 that he had walked into a teen beauty pageant dressing room where they had no clothes on because he could get away with things like that. is that not an admission of sexual harassment? sarah: the president spoke about this directly. i don't have anything further to add. we're going to do one question and move around. reporter: the attack in new york city, or isis-inspired attack in new york city, and just recently, is the president concerned that there is a growing threat against people inspired by isis to have been radical itesed online? sarah: i think the president is certainly concerned that congress, particularly democrats, have failed to take action in some places where we feel kyo ha

the point the white house makes is the american people knew about these allegations when they electedf this to rest. >> the popular vote went against him. so you have to say they did judge him guilty. >> and the other thing she said is these allegations are from a long time ago. that's not necessarily the case. some of the accusations are from fairly recent. >> also that there were eyewitnesses that would be able to say that these things that they say didn't happen, didn't happen. and so then she said she would potentially provide us a list of those. so i think we'll all be very curious to see if they can provide a list of eyewitnesss who say that the incident didn't happen, didn't half. >> i'll glad you live pay you on tuesday for a hamburger today. everybody promises some where. the associated press reports white house advisers were stunned by ambassador haley's comments, adding to two sources familiar with the president's views, quote, haley's comments infuriated the president. trump has grown increasingly in recent days that the accusations against him have resurfaced, telling his

the american people knew this and voted for the president and we feel like we're ready to move forward in that process. >> we all knew it. we've heard it anyway. that's the argument from the white house. in this current environment, in which we've seen one democratic senator resign, a senior house democrat resign, a republican congressman resign, another congressman from texas who's on the cusp perhaps of resignation, being forced out. does the president secretary have a point there? is this a case that was argued and resolved? >> i mean, i don't know if it was resolved but that was definitely argued. it was a case where millions of women, mostly republican women, mostly white women, looked at donald trump and said this is someone i want to represent me on the world stage. i was in the field, on the campaign trail, interviewing women after women in ohio and pennsylvania and north carolina and i heard over and over again, yes, at that time, candidate trump is brash, yes, he's even a wild card, yes, i don't like the way he talks, but he reminds me a little bit of my husband in the way he

their answer is the american people knew this when they voted. >> most americans if not all who votedad the information before the election. for us to try to relitigate the election is impossible. should people who have been victimized have an opportunity to have their day in court or presenting their information? i have no problem with that issue. the people of this country have the responsibility of choosing our president. they have chosen. >> i don't think he is wrong. voters had this information and voted for trump anyway. that came before the harvey weinstein story. the rolling cultural societal transformation over sexual harassment. i wonder if it was different had that predated the election. i tend to suspect not based on the type of voters that trump has drawn and what their priorities seem to be. this really did happen in an earlier era of politics. >> democrats are counting on that not being the case anymore. the ulturcultural shift pressur to resign and i think they are hoping that now as you mentioned, women in the suburbs who tend to vote republican and will be independen

. >> the fundamental position seems to be that the american people knew about the "access hollywood" they voted. they voted him in as president. case closed. >> they knew about the allegations. they heard from women. >> i'm not sure that most americans would say i knew there were 16 women. >> definitely not the detail but the "access hollywood" tape. >> the issue is, what do you do about it? there has been a very hasty sense of well, we're going to do something. a private corporation can fire whoever they want, karoun. but when it comes to government we don't have a mechanism like that. you have an election. people knew about the allegat n allegations. they voted. he won. now you have the democrats saying we're going to look into it. karoun, how do they look into it in the house? what's the mechanism that would allow the house committees, all run by republicans, to look into the allegations that the president denies? >> making noise is the biggest one. there are some resolutions that could get things to the floor. this is not something that can be automatically triggered and sent to t

the watergate prosecution our press officer took very proactive steps to make sure that the american people knew who we were and that we were credible and that we weren't out to get the president. and i have seen no evidence of anyone on mueller's team is out to get the president. they are out to get the facts. and they will make their decisions based on them. so far they've come out with facts that support the criminal indictment of four members of trump's team. and we'll have to see whether they get it closer to the family or the president. but it will be based on fact. >> that is great point to make. it's insulting, in fact, to professionals in so many walks of life as they're painted with a broad brush as having opinions. they're jobs are another thing entirely. michael, ty cobb has said in the past few days interviews with people in the white house have come to an end. could that be true? could it lead to call backs? >> it could. ty cobb, he is kind of a character out of movie to begin with. and it is compounded by the fact he is making public statements that have people across washington s

press secretary sarah sanders also said of the allegations, "the american people knew this and voted the president." meanwhile, democratic senator kirsten gillibrand of new york has become the fourth senator to call for president trump to resign amid the sexual misconduct claims. mario ba tally is stepping away from his restaurant empire operations and tv show after four women accused him of sexual misconduct. and two more men in the news two more men in the media industry are facing accusations of sexual misconduct.

again, the american people knew this and voted for the president, and we feel like we are ready to move forward in that process. one cope samantha, your response to that statement? you initially raises allegations as did many of the women last year during the campaign. what is the change now, the decision out of this press conference yesterday? >> it was a tech decision to come out because i did receive a lot of backlash last year when i spoke out. i wasn't sure i wanted to go through that all again. when the idea was that all of us would come together, that all 16 women would come to gather and seeing us as a group, seeing us supporting each other as well as telling our stories, power in numbers, and that is what i was just hoping that maybe this year it would be different since the climate is different. amy: yesterday onto the news conference. you were there along with jessica leeds, a man who said donald trump attacked her sitting next to her in first class sitting on a plane, groping her until she got up and left. this is rachel crooks, who also spoke at the news conference with you

the american people knew this and voted for the president. >>> then an nbc news exclusive on the flynn lie to the fbi. >> i didn't direct him. but i would have drebd him if he didn't do it. >> robert mueller now investigating what the president knew and when he knew it, as the plot to stop mueller takes a dark turn. >> it's time to take them out in cuffs. >> when "all in" starts right now. >> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. it was absolutely inconceivable just six months ago to imagine a democrat with a real chance to win a senate seat in alabama. that's a state that president trump won by 28 points. a state that hasn't gone blue in a presidential election in morn than 40 years. alabama should be a gimme for basically any republican. but on the eve of the special election in that state, a poll from none other than fox news finds that democrat doug jones is leading republican roy moore by an astounding 10 point, 50% to 40%. let's beclear. that poll is an outlier. other polls show roy moore with a similar lead. but here is the thing. this is a real race. tomorrow it is time

which is the american people knew this when they voted for donald trump and he is now president. that to them i think to a lot of folks in the white house encapsulates the argument here. these are not necessarily -- and they are not. they are not new allegations. we knew of these allegations from these women prior to the election. they came out during the 2016 campaign. so that is the argument the white house is making. that said, i do think there is a question potentially about what you might call the distraction factor. remember, this is a president who is delivering a speech on his -- on a massive republican tax plan that is going to be likely passed in the next eight to ten days here. this is a president who wants to be talking about -- or whose staffers want him to be talking about policy, pushing taxes, selling this message, pushing what could be a huge win for him. instead, the president is tweeting about these accusations and tweeting about the allegations against them. and tweeting, of course, about senator gillibrand. >> okay. we just got this tweet from elizabeth warren

have shown those eyewitnesses also back up the president's claim in this process and again, the american people knew this and voted for the president and we feel like we're ready to move forward in that process. >> they're coming forward now? >> the president said that it's a good thing for women to feel comfortable in coming forward, generally speaking. jacqueline? >> the president told howard stern in 2005 that he walked into a teen beauty pageant dressing room where teen contestants had no clothes on because he could get away with things like that. is that not an admission of sexual harassment? >> the president spoke about this directly and i don't have anything further. >> we'll do one question today, guys and move around. >> to the isis attacks in new york city -- or isis-inspired attacks in new york city, and just recently -- is the president concerned that there is a growing threat against people inspired by isis that are radicalized online? >> the president is certainly concerned that congress, particularly dvm dechls ha particularly democrats have failed to take action. specifically, the pr

if the american people knew the truth about how they had been lied to about the myths that had led themery for 25 years, that they would choose against him. and the risk you take when you do that, is that you'll learn something ultimately about your fellow citizens, that you won't like to hear, that is that they hear it, they learn from it, they understand it, and they proceed to ignore it. >> i remember speaking about a year ago, we would end this war before we had dropped another million tons of bombs on the vietnamese. >> we could never get into the paper the very fact that we had reported the bombing tonnage. they didn't go so far as to say, the ellsberg have this habit of saying, here's how many bombs we dropped last week. >> we have dropped another 200,000 tons of p.m.s on indochina. that's ten hiroshimas. >> they never imagined we said it, let alone reflect on the fact it was happening. when i knew we were going to bomb vietnam forever, that was like bombing the neighborhood. the people there were more than pictures for me, and they were more than numbers. >> when we went to sele

the american people knew. they were misled about thing causing mr. president. we cannot mislead them any longer. that is the stance that should have been taken at that moment. for some reason the elites are afraid to rock the boat. the third debate, have them bring it up. bring it up at the third debate. i also said, when hurricane sandy happened, have them go. he may not have ever heard it, but i said it to the campaign people. , whenurricane happens you're are going to be president of the united states, act like it. donald trump did that when the hurricane happened in louisiana. he understands the media. he understands how to bring a message to the people. remember the night he won the election? my 16-year-old boy for four eight his talents like this. he was pierced off they did not call florida earlier. finally, when it was called for him, he released. he did not give a concession speech because i know what happened backstage. you have to realize what happened. everyone's hair had to be on fire. in hollywood, they had to be calling him. every hollywood elitis

wait a second, the american people knew that they were misled about benghazi. cannot mislead them any longer. that is what should have been taken at that moment. for some reason, the elites are afraid to rock the boat. i called that campaign and i said "please, the third to break, have them bring it up. bring it up at the third to debate." i never got to mitt romney to tell them this. i said it to the campaign people , in messages. then the hurricane happened. you're going to be president of the united states, act like president of the united states. you are three months from the election. act like it. donald trump did just that when the hurricane happened in louisiana. he understands the media. he understands how to bring a message to the people. remember the night he won the election? [cheering] robert: my 16-year-old boy hours, nofor four kidding, he ate his sandwich like this. it was pizza.

then, the american people knew, we were misled about benghazi, mr. president. we cannot be misled any longer. that is what should have been taken at that moment. for some reason, the elites are afraid to rock the boat. i called that campaign and i said, "please, the third debate, please, have them bring it up." i also said, when hurricane sandy happened -- i never contacted mitt romney to tell him this, but i said it to the campaign people in messages. when you're going to be president of the united states, act like the president of the united states. you are three months from the election. act like it. donald trump did just that when the hurricane happened in louisiana. he understands the media.

the forgotten men and women of america, he tapped into a frustration in the american people that they were feeling and they knew it could be better. if they knew the economy could be stronger. they knew we could be standing again and commanding the respect of nations around the world. which is needed new leadership to do it. and i truly do believe that as we go forward and we tell that story and the american people see those results, i think we will see some of this division in the country began to wilt away as we see economic opportunities, wages begin to rise. our military standing tall and standing strong again. >> laura: have you been interviewed by the mueller team? >> i have not. >> laura: this has been, i think over the last month or so, it has been demonstrated that key members of this investigation are loyalist of either the obama administration and/or hillary clinton. knowing what you know and probably what you've seen about some of these investigators who are still working in this office, do you have faith that this will be a fair and impartial investigation going forward? >> let me say we are fully

the american people, they knew most of these allegations against president trump, they were known beforenew has come up since then and a lot of the american people to my chagrin didn't care b about other things that were troubling about trump. they saw him as an outsider, a disrupter and that's what they wanted. they were willing to give up the principle and moral side of things in order to get something new and think he was going to help them and help the economy. even former governor of pennsylvania ed rendell said something similar. he said look, people in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan, they're not going to care about this so much if the democrats don't come with a message of how is this going to help me. that's where i think the democrats may overstep on this. as valid as the concerns are. >> that could certainly happen, but the election last year was at a different time. that was before harvey weinstein. before senator franken. before trent franks. before all these members of congress, too, have come under fire. so amy, the fact that moore lost in alabama. this is a state, remem

issue that was put in front of the american people, the entire country, during the campaign and during the election. all of this stuff was gone through. the american people knew and they voted and they elected donald trump president. what is the point now of the democrats trying to bring it up now other than to try to simply drive down the president's approval rating. charles: john, i'm going to ask you because you've got a big article in "the wall street journal," and the headline reads two presidencies in one year. you are the author of that. this is, of course, president trump's first year in office. >> yes. of course, it's donald trump, charles, which means one presidency wasn't going to be enough for him. [laughter] he's produced two presidencies. and i call in the one presidency is trump of twitter and the orr is trump of -- the other is trump of accomplishments. and trump of twitter is the one we're all very familiar with that sort of dominated the first six months and i think is in large part responsible for the president's approval rating bumping around 40% or below for most of his first year. this was the presidency that produced mayhem in the white

you put together a bill which instinctively the american people knew was a bad deal for them, and it is. when you take a look at this bill, you realize why we're asked to vote on this republican tax plan, a plan written behind closed doors and rushed through congress on a last-minute rush this year. it's because the republicans are bound and determined to have something that they passed this year. in all fairness, they passed the defense authorization bill, but they spent month after month on repeal and failure to replace our health care system. and now before they leave town, the end of this calendar year, they're bound and determined to get this done whatever it takes, their so-called tax reform plan. after a year of control in congress and the white house and extraordinarily few legislative achievements to show for it republicans are forcing through this partisan tax plan a few short weeks after it was unveiled. you may not remember unless you were watching c-span that night i came to the floor when we were finally given the senate tax bill. it was about 500 pages long. as i was g

the american public. it's that or the vice president was lying on purpose telling the american people something he also knew was not true. the old story is now dead. the vice president needs a new explanation for his behavior. that is one thing that the white house hasn't got around to fixing yet. the other problem the white house has now that they have no explanation for is why mike flynn lied to the fbi at all about what he said to russia and that is going to be a mystery they either solve right away or that follows them right to the very, very, very end. more ahead. stay with us. we've started a campaign to let the american people raise their voice to say that this president is unfit for office and needs to go. i love it! yes! yes!
