He stuck his tongue in my mouth so fast. All i can remember was his lips were really wet, it was slimy. In my mind, i called him fish lips the rest of the trip.

Reporter meanwhile, Kirsten Gillibrand told the New York Times she thinks bill clinton should have resigned after the incident with Monica Lewinsky 20 years ago.

Overnight, President Trump tweeted about al franken saying, the Al Frankenstein picture is really bad. Speaks a thousand wards.

The allegations in the county are much more creditable than the denials he has made. The allegations from at least nine women, range from inappropriate flirting to Sexual Assault. I was in shock. And i was so humiliated. Sickening. Reporter tina johnson says moore groped her at his law office in 1991 when she was 28 and looking to settle a child custody case. He was flirtatious, coming on the whole time. We eventually got up to leave, and as we did, he grabbed my behind. Just, hard. Reporter becky gray, then 22, says she worked at the mall in gadsden, alabama. She complained to her manager when moore kept asking her out. It seemed a little creepy to me because he was so much older. Why would someone that age be hanging out at the mall . Should roy moore resign . Reporter while President Trump has not spoken out about moore, the white house says he believes if the claims are true, moore should drop out. The president believes that the allegations are very troubling and should be taken seriously. And he thinks that the people of alabama should make the decision on who their next senator should be. Reporter the alabama gop, saying he preserves to be presumed innocent of the accusations unless proven otherwise. This media and you people are sick. And you desperately need the jesus he knows.

At this time, Emergency Personnel have relocated residents to several locations. We are working to reconnect residents with their families.

Reporter neighbors scrambled to the scene. Jumping in to help get seniors out of arms way. Pushing them in wheelchairs away from the fire and transporting them to temporary shelters. Reporter police say this morning they are still investigating to figure out how the fire started, guys. A lot more to get to, including the president s promise to deliver the most sweeping tax overhaul. It cleared a big hurd until the house. Nbc white house correspondent, kristen welker, with more on that and the next steps. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. President trump is ending the week with a big victory under his belt. The house passed its version of tax reform but the biggest hurdle remains in the senate where the tax overhaul is facing an uncertain future. This morning, new momentum for republicans. The bill is passed. Reporter after the house passed its version of tax reform. A bill that co 1. 4 billion in ten years. Reduce the number of tax brackets. This is about giving Hardworking Taxpayers bigger paychecks. Reporter the president at the capitol, rallying republicans before the vote. The white house insisting he is on the front lines of the fight. Hes very engaged in this process. We look for the same results out of the senate when they pass a bill. Reporter the hurdles in the senate are steep, after republicans inserted a provision repealing the obamacare individual mandate. Another obstacle, the possible impact on the middle class, with a new congressional report estimating the legislation would raise the tax rate between those making 10,000 and 30,000 in 2021. And on all income groups under 75,000 in 2027. Democratic senator brown and orrin hatch in a shouting match whether it will hurt the middle class. How many times do we do this before we learn this . What you said was not right. Thats all im saying. I come from the lower middleclass originally. We didnt have anything. So dont spew that stuff on me. I get tired of that crap. Reporter republican senator, ron johnson, says, right now on this bill, hes a no. I want to get this thing fixed and i want to vote for progrowth tax reform. Reporter President Trump says his tax plan wont benefit him. Its not good for me. Reporter an Analysis Shows it would be good for the president and his family, based on his one 2005 tax return, he can save more than 20 million himself, and his heirs, 1. 1 million. And his soninlaw, again in the president is light, after the bipartisan leaders of the Senate JudiciaryCommittee Said his legal team failed to turn over documents they asked for last month. Of interest, 2016 emails, forwarded by kushner to another campaign official. Topics, like wikileaks, and a dinner invite. In a statement, kushners attorney said they have been responsive to all requests and will continue to cooperate. This morning, President Trump is trying to keep the focus on the tax battle. Tweeting, if democrat were not such obstructionists and understood the power of lower taxes, we could be able to get many of their ideas into bill. The reality is, while the president tried to win over red state democrats for his tax plan, adding health care into the mix makes that a whole lot tougher. Kristen welker at the white house. Thank you. Want to turn to an nbc news investigation. Our chief foreign correspondent, richard engel, has been looking into President Trumps business interests overseas, in particular a building in panama that insiders and others say attracted some dirty money. Richard is in panama. Good morning to you. Reporter im in panama city to talk about an investigation we have been working on in conjunction with reuters for months. It took that building behind me, the Trump Ocean Club panama city. The president doesnt own the building. He licenses his name. And hes been paid millions for that. But our reporting shows, that the building, like others in panama city, has been a magnet for suspicious business activity. Trump ocean club soars over the pacific and panama city, and its also where criminals from russian gangsters, to money launders were able to hide their cash. Alexander ventura was one of the towers main brokers. You came in with hundreds of buyers . With hundreds of buyers, yes. Reporter did the Trump Organization want to know where the money was coming from . No. Not that im aware of. No, no, not at all. Reporter ventura is a fugitive wanted for fraud. We agreed to disguise his appearance. He said he feared for his safety. He said he sold units to buyers including david guzman, in custody of the united states, convicted of laundering millions of dollars for mexican drug cartels. Ivanka trump was involved in the project, but not directly in sales. She featured in its promotions. Our investigation reveals several of venturas brokers and buyers also had ties to russian organized crime. Documents show units were bought through anonymous shell companies, hiding who owned what. And that, a former panamanian prosecutor told us, drew in people with a criminal history. The cofounder of the anticorruption group, global witness, its report on the Trump Ocean Club is also out today. Any responsible businessman should want to know who their clients are and where the money is coming from. If that responsible businessman is now the president of the united states, this is a matter of public interest. Reporter in a statement, the Trump Organization said, the Trump Organization was not the owner, developer or seller of the Trump Ocean Club panama project. And that the organization had no relation with ventura or the knowledge of the allegations against him. We asked ivanka trump for comment, but her team referred us back to the statement. This is a picture of you with President Trump. Yes. Thats at maralago, yes. They were a guest at the party. They hosted you at maralago. Yes. There was a lot of people. Reporter the Trump Organization is distancing itself from a project that earned it millions. Financial documents show the president is still making money from the building. The Trump Organization says that since it was only involved in a licensing agreement, doesnt own the building, it cant be held responsible for what happened here. But legal experts we spoke to say that might not be the case. That if a company deliberately turns a blind eye to potential illegal activity or doesnt do Due Diligence when operating in a highrisk environment, like panama, that could be enough to raise a case.

Why is it so close to American Government and culture. This is the heart of museums. Were down the street from the capitol. We dont see that as a negative. We think it would be good for our government, those in charge of running this nation, to understand the founding principles the nation was built upon. Some scholars feel it will betray its promise not to evangelize. It would portray that christians are at the center of american life. And that the bible is center of what it means to be american.

Your body was made for Better Things than rheumatiod arthritis. Before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. Xeljanz xr is a oncedaily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. It can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. Dont start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Xeljanz xr can reduce the symptoms of ra, even without methotrexate. Ask your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. In this home we make breakfast. Sometimes messes but always masterpieces. Together.

A rail company in japan has issued an apology. And you will never believe the outrageous offense. The companys statement reads, a northbound train left 20 seconds earlier than the time indicated on the timetable. We apologize for the inconvenience imposed on the customers. Theyre apologizing for a train that left 20 seconds ahead of schedule. The apology has commuters comparing their Transit System to japans efficiency. Dont think this will be an apology Southwestern Railway or any other in the u. K. Will have to make. My favorite part about edmonton transit is you dont know if the bus left 15 minutes early or 10 minutes left. Were not in new yorks penn station anymore.

They were on this tour for two weeks. At the end of that, she says this photo was taken. Now, al franken initially said that the photo was clearly intended as a joke. He then had to put out a second lengthier statement saying it clearly was not funny. Its that photograph that the president was tweeting about overnight, saying, quote, that al frankens the teen picture is really bad and speaks a thousand words. Now both democrats and republicans are calling for an epthices Committee Investigation into frankens conduct. Matt. Casy, thank you very much.

Google pixel 2 hi, im your google assistant. How can i help . Hello. So. Its a phone . Well its a phone by google. Im singing in the rain, just singing in the rain what glorious feeling im happy again, we are back with twotime oscar winner, ben affleck. As is an actor, director, and screen writer, he is one of hollywoods busiest stars. His movie Justice League is out today. Good to be here. Youre reprising your role as batman. Theres so much to talk about in your industry, in hollywood, in our culture, right now. Yeah. Obviously, these allegations against Harvey Weinstein have really disturbed so many people. Do you think were at a moment of change . Does this feel like a reckoning time . It feels like a really important moment. Feels like a time when survivors are finding their voice and people are sort of i include myself in this, really discovering the terrible extent of this problem, here in our country. I dont think its just limited to hollywood. But if you see this prevalent in this industry, it must extend into finance, tech, and all these other places. And also inspiring, though, to see people come forward and assert themselves. Thats very moving. We have seen it. Weve seen it in politics. Weve seen it in lots of different industries. With weinstein, specifically, i wonder how it hit you. This is a powerful producer who played a big role in your coming up. He was instrumental in good will hunting. Shakespeare in love. Did you know that side to him . I thrknew he was sleazy and bully. I was new to hollywood. I didnt know much of anything. It is a shame because although i stopped working with harvey a long time ago, those movies hold a special place in my heart. And to now look back on it and think, gosh, some other people were going through something really ugly and disturbing and difficult and terrible and terrifying, while that was happening, is kind of i dont know. The only thing i can think to do is to give my residuals from my harvey movies to a couple of organizations that are making a difference. And try to reconcile that. Its a way for me to feel better about that early stage in my career when i made the movies with him. Can i ask you something specifically, rose mcgowan, has made allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Tweeted and suggested she had told you something along the way. Is that true . I want to give you an opportunity to set the record straight. Thank you very much. I dont want to get into other peoples individual stories. Those are their stories and theyre entitled to tell as much or as little of those. I believe rose. I support her. I like and admire her tenacity and i wish her the best. Finally, one thing you said, you want to be part of the solution. To your credit, youve been straightforward about that, saying, you want to look inward and look at your own behavior. I think thats all you can do. As a man in my position, and recognizing how fortunate i am. Recognizing the privilege that i have and try to open my eyes and hold myself accountable. Thats all we can really do. Its harder than pointing the finger at everybody else. What have i done thats crossed the line . How can i do better . How can i contribute . How can i be more respective . More inclusive . More mindful of this stuff . And thats the person i want to be, frankly. And you looked back and thought, i wouldnt do that today. Theres plenty of jokes i wouldnt have made. Things i wouldnt have done. Its a time when were thats happened almost overnight. Theres a liheightened level of awareness. One of the good things is the selfconsciousness of how am i fitting into the world . How is this interaction going to leave this person feeling . Its easy to gloss over that stuff and get selfinvolved. The hard thing is to be mindful and live in the present moment. Its a good conversation for all of us to be having. We have to talk about the movie because you are playing batman once again. We have a clip, Justice League take a look. How many of you are there . Not enough. Eight people abducted from or near star labs. Heres the potential perp. Is the batman suit like a comfy pair of jeans you put on . They keep wanting to make it cooler and better. They keep adding things to it. The challenge is to not be, mummy batman. What about metaphorically . I feel like i got i like the character. I kind of found him in the last movie. I like that. This one, was going to be more fun. We were going to do something more traditionally of batman as the leader of the Justice League. We were going to see his dark sense of humor, which, i was looking forward to. And to have fun with the other actors. Another perk of the job, youre batman. You have a 5yearold. Did you dress up as batman for his Birthday Party . I did. I really did. He wanted me to. He insisted that i do it. Yeah. I might have a picture. Yeah. If you deny i was ready with the proof. I did it. Its true. He loved it. Hes into the superhero thing. Its the perfect age. Its one of the nice bonuses that you get to be a superhero in your kids eyes. And you know flash and wonder woman. I can introduce him to wonder woman. Im doubly cool. Your kids are 5, 8, 10 . 8 and 11. We know for sam you are. Are you cool for the girls . A or are they about teenagers . Im cool that i can get them a taylor swift autograph. Myself, no. If i rub shoulders with cool people, they give me a moment. To my 5yearold, im pretty cool. Any big plans for thanksgiving . Nope. Jen and i and the kids. Jen and i cook, and she makes a great meal. Its a good time. Are you a dishwasher on thanksgiving . Nobody wants me to cook. Whatever else. Ben, thank you so much. Really good to talk to you. Thank you for having me. Justice league in theaters now. We head over to al for a check of the weather. Thanks, savannah. We are looking for heavy snow through the northern rockies. Were looking at showers in the pacific northwest. Record highs today, making their way through the southwest. And part of the southern plains. And the eastern half of the country, looking perfect with plenty of sunshine and seasona thats whats going on around the country. Heres whats happening in your neck of the woods. Such a beautiful start to the friday morning as we take a live look outside in San Francisco. Its chilly though and were getting a chance to dry out from the rain we had yesterday. Our high temperatures today reaching into the upper 50s along the coast. And some low 60s for the inland valleys. For San Francisco, expect a high of 60 today and also 60 tomorrow but more clouds moving in on sunday. Keeping it a little bit cooler in the next week. Well have some off and on rain starting out on monday and that continues until thanksgiving as well. We may have more chances of and thats your latest weather. Matt . All right, al. Time to trend right now. On thursday, you talked about things you had wish you had done when you were younger. I wish i wrote things down. A headline in the wall street journal caught my eye this moshing. Its called, why you should write a memoir even if nobody will read it. It doesnt have to be a New York Times best seller to reap the rewards. If you take the time to write about your life, youll see your life in a different perspective. Youll see things that you didnt notice. So, it leads me to this question, if you were to write the memoir of your life, what would the title be . Hoda . Mine would be what the hoda . What its like living with a name no one can pronounce. Thats cute. Al, what would yours be . Let a smile be your umbrella. Nobody wants grumpy. Just look at the positive side. I love that one. Id buy that. Mine would be trl totally rockin life. I could never imagine that just by loving music, i could stay close to music. I like your cover photo also. Savannah . I borrowed from the tshirts. And i said, like you. And i used a picture that embarrassed me. And how i like other people. Thats cute. I hope i like other people. I think my title would be unlikely. But they make me choose, lifes a drag. And it comes with five different covers. You get to pick and choose. Thats awesome. You have pop start. Were going to start with george clooney. The Hollywood Alister is coming to television, with a miniseries based on catch 22. He is going to star as colonel kath ca kathcart. This is first time hes on television since he departed e. R. To pursue a career in film. No word on when this production is to begin early next year. Blake shelton, who was named peoples sexiest man alive. Not many agreed. Twitter trolls were out. Blake was reading some of the tweets. I woke up and found that Blake Shelton was the sexiest man alive. Blake shelton is sexy if you like a guy thats always about to lean in and tell you about a hearty dog food. Blake shelton isnt even the sexiest man at this waffle house. A good sport there. Thats your pop start. We move on to the daly click. You have astros pitcher, justin verlander, showing what it means to be a supportive husband. Helping kate upton with their workout. Upton is doing sled pushes. And justin is adding a little more intensity to the workout. Thats love. And shes nice enough to join us this morning. Heres justin verlander. Good to be here. Good to have you. I like the way you call it their workout. Her workout. If you had a memoir of your life, it would be called crushing it. Yeah. Its been pretty crazy. But, man, what a great amongst its been. You have two. This is a new one. And another one coming. It will probably be slightly bigger than this one. How do you come down from a high like that . You win a world series with houston. A week later you get married to an amazing young lady. How do you top that . Come on the today show. Honestly, we had a couple days to decompress and its weird. I dont know what to do with my time. Im sitting on the couch like, its 9 00 a. M. Now. Ill get a bowl of cereal or something. Ill go with kate to workout. Shes in all the games. Is she one of the fans who screams to you from the stands . Shes the one after the game, did you hear me . Yes, honey. Yes, i did. Good answer. Absolutely. I just came from houston. You know, we were lending a hand. And the spirit of that city and what you guys meant to it, you have any idea how much you mean to that town . Man, its been incredible, the outpouring of love from that city. And we were in a special place to really connect with the city when they needed it. They needed something to cheer for and be happy about. And for us to go that far and to win it all, i think it really can connect a sports team and a city. And well always be linked for that. Give us three seconds on how you were able to pull this off. A wedding was planned while you were in the postseason. The wedding was planned before the postseason or it would have been a week later. When i got traded, we had it planned out. Were you thinking about the dates . We thought, theres only one thing that could screw all this up and thats going to game seven of the world series. So, you know, i happened to be pitching game six. I was thinking to myself, its meant to be. Just a little extra incentive. We have to win this one. It was a wellfought game and they won. Here comes game seven. All of our guests are arriving at our venue. And were getting texts before the games starting. Hey, your weddings great. If you feel to show up. What was more nerveracking . Standing on the mound or standing on the altar . Standing on the mound at the world series. I know my wife is here. I got to well, again, i dont know how you can have a better month and year than youre having. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. Congratulations. Thank you.

It is called the rest of our life, and its out today. Tim and faith, good morning. How are you . Good. I cant believe it took this long for yall to do a record together. Its a good little while. Yeah, 21 years. Did you learn anything about each other in this process that you didnt already know . I mean, youve been together so long. Is there something about making a record that was revelatory . Nice word. S. A. T. Word. Were artists. We approach things differently, different style of music. And i think my stuff is different and her stuff is different than it is when were working together. We sort of look at it as a third act thats a whole different sort of music when we record together. She likes to record really live with the band. Where i record, im used to being in the studio and not really concerned about the way im singing and the lyrics. Im just sort of being a guide for the band because im more concerned about the guys and the guitars and the keyboards. So when i was there, i had to learn the songs a little bit better to sing live with her. We were in the booth together. That was the first weve ever done it that way. All the duets weve had in the past, we have sung them separately. And just a handful of them. There are duets musically and duets in life. What makes this relationship work so well . Aww so sweet. Why do you think that . Well, she totlerates a lot. Probably the main reason. You tolerate a lot too. Im not the easiest person. I think well, we like each other. We do actually like one another. Thats the key, for sure, yeah. Yeah. We have three daughters, and were in it. We talked about it before we got together, two musicians. I mean, just the thought of that alone is kind of we had long conversations about whether we should do this or not. Yeah. Before we got married. Who drives and who rides side car . I love who drives . Who drives in the relationship . Oh, the relationship. Well, the car, i drive. The relationship she drives. Youre in charge . Oh, lord. You know, its pretty takes both. Its pretty even. We make decisions about things in different ways. But we always talk about it before we do it. Yeah. And, you know, having three daughters, you know, sort of acquiesce to mom quite a bit on those decisions. Is there a special airing tonight that your fans are going to want to watch . Yes, a special tonight. The first time that weve done a special together. And its going to be on showtime tonight. Its i dont want to call it a concert special. Theres a lot of concert footage in it, but theres a lot of behind the scenes and interviews and revealing things about us and our relationship and our personal lives we havent shared before. So we found it pretty interesting watching it back. Faith did the majority of the work on that. I was scared. No, there was a lot i was scared to watch it, because i cant stand to see myself on a movie screen. Its scary to have documentary cameras, because you kind of forget theyre there, right . They werent there all of the time. Just to be clear. Yeah, it wasnt like reality tv. No. But it had to be intimidating, especially when you let yourself get so out of shape. [ laughter ] so true. A lot of pressure on me. You both look great. You do. There are a lot of fans who are so excite to see you guys together. And they have been standing outside since 4 00 in the morning. Would you like to go outside with me and get ready to go . Yes. Both of your hands lets go tape some songs. Lets go were going outside what should we sing together as we walk out .
