Day of my political life, i feel like its all been worth it. Politics paul well stone told us is about the improvement of peoples lives. I know that the work i have been able to do has improved peoples lives. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. For a decade now every time i would get tired or discouraged or frustrated, i would think about the people i was doing this for and it would get me back up on my feet. I know the same will be true for everyone who decides to pursue politics that is about improving peoples lives. And i hope you know that i will be fighting alongside you every step of the way. With that, mr. President , i yield the floor. Thank you. And you just witnessed al franken, the democratic senator from minnesota announcing that he is in fact resigning from the United States senate amid allegations as he said, some true, some from his perspective not true of Sexual Misconduct mostly before he became a United States senator. The pressure was so great about this time yesterday mount in a way that was impossible for him to ignore. He had to do what he just did and announce he is going to resign his seat from the u. S. Senate. We have coverage across the board here. Lets start right where al franken made his speech on capitol hill. Two reporters have been doing a lot of terrific reporting on this. Mj lee. I will start with you and your thoughts and reporting on what you are hearing behind the scenes there . Certainly an emotional speech by senator al franken. This very emotional time for him. I think two things. He said he will be resigning in the coming weeks. What does that mean and how long will he be here . Certainly more questions about that. It was notable that he of course stood by what he has said. He denied the allegations and said some of the allegations are simply not true. Others i remember very differently. He claims there is a very different picture painted of himself now than what he believes he truly is. He said he knows in his heart who i am. All that aside, i thought the biggest and most lasting line of this resignation speech was the fact that he said its with irony im here resigning yet the man in the white house has been accused on tape of bragging about Sexual Assault and also included in that, alabama candidate saying this is the man who has the full support of his Republican Party and he is one that preyed on young girls. Certainly very interesting that franken is using this speech to take jabs not only at President Trump, but potentially on a new senator that could be joining based on the results of the al b bama election next week. You are one of the reporter who is talked to an accuser i think about the fifth that you were reporting on. What did you make of senator franken saying that people have falsely gotten the impression that he admitted to the things he is accused of doing . Dana, this was a remarkable speech in that it was so clear that senator franken is a man right now who does not want to be leaving office. He said himself that he is regretful that he is essentially being forced to leave. I think they hit on the two highlights. First is that he said some of the allegations that have come out are absolutely not true. That he in fact fears that he has given the false impression that he was admitting to guilt in the allegations and that is not true. Clearly this was a senator who wanted to use this speech to clear his name in some ways and preserve his reputation and tell the world that the image that has been portrayed in the media over the last couple of weeks is not the man he considers himself to be. You are right. I have spoken to two women who have accused senator franken of having inappropriately touched them over the years. If i were them, you are watching him make this speech and wondering when he said some of these allegations are not true, is he talking about me . In the past he has sort of generally apologized and said he is embarrassed and ashamed, but he did not apologize in this speech. Im curious about the women who accused him of certain behavior will make of that. Thank you so much for the reporting. We want to bring it now around the table. Gloria borger is here. Phil matingly. Gloria, what do you think . There was no admission of guilt and no apology in this. In fact he went out of his way to say that because i was so shocked and upset, it gave people the false impression that i was admitting to doing these things which he said he hadnt done. He pointed out the irony in the fact that donald trump is still here and roy moore has the support of his party. It wasnt kind of falling on his sword, i dont think. In any way, shape, or form. There was this kind of idealistic part of it which was look, if i had it to do all over again, i would do it. Quoting Paul Wellstone who preceded him and died. Politics is about improving peoples lives and praising his staff and colleagues. He went out in a way where he said serving in the senate was one of the great honors of my life. While he didnt admit guilt, he tried to take it to the senate and say what you do here is important. Thats probably why he ended up giving this speech on the senate floor rather than anywhere else. I want to get your thoughts, but before i do, i want to replay the portion of al frankens speech where he talked about the fact that he called it irony that he is resigning and there are republicans who are facing allegations from the oval office to potentially a new senator in the United States senate from alabama. They have the support of their party. Today i am announcing that in the coming weeks i will be resigning as member of the United States senate. I of all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of Sexual Assault sits in the oval office and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the senate with the full support of his party. Bitterness there. Yeah. I think what you saw was a public presentation of what is going on behind the scenes. The idea of what im being accused of is nothing of the level of what others have been accused of. This lack of getting their heads around how serious it was. A couple of people said it was repeated gut punches that they thought they could get over senator franken and his team. They got him over the hump. Last week he was back on the floor talking about the tax bill. They thought they were getting over the finish line. When he looks and i heard this from a lot of his supporters when you talk about this issue that dont think he should resign and dont believe the allegations come near to the level of other people, they are in disbelief that it got to this point. They never thought they would get there. Thats what you saw there. Bitter is one word for it. Its a complete stunning fall over the course of the last 48 hours and underscores the great reporter in the senate and how eight or nine of the Democratic Women came out and said he needed to resign and they were watching the power that they have. The more important element is while he and maybe his team did not believe it was getting to this point, i am told and you have been told that this has been something going on for a couple of weeks. Mounting frustration with the women and the u. S. Senate about the stories and the response to some of those stories and they finally reached a Tipping Point they were not far away from in the way the story came out. That point was reach and you see the result whether of whether they believe its justified. To that point i want to play what i was talking about how he called the false impression that he admitted to these allegations. I also think it gave some people the false impression that i was admitting to doing things that in fact i havent done. Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others i remember very differently. I said at the out set that the Ethics Committee was the right venue for these allegations to be heard and investigated and evaluated on their merits. That i was prepared to cooperate fully and that i was confident in the out come. You saw him wibi iwiping his and unclear why. This was not something that he was it clearly took a lot to do what he did today. It did. He was accepting and swallowing the political reality that was indeed before him. There was no other option. We saw his office put out a statement that he has not made a decision. They have not yet really made it, but he knew what he had to do. In the end, there is bitterness with his close supporters in minnesota and family as well that it was democrat who is abandoned him in some respects, but for the reason of trying to seek the moral high ground. That is why senator franken did not fight this and try to resist or push back on this. He knew that for the party to go forward, he would be a drag and a weight on the party. We saw before he was speaking there, his wife franny of 42 years walking into the capital was at his side through all of this. He was making the case as well and will continue to do so. Awe of these allegations and reports are not equal. He wanted to sort of leave on a high note there in a distinguished setting of the senate floor as opposed to in a rushed speech someplace. He deserves that. His transition from a comedian to a serious senator did happen in the course of his first term and he was never sure that was the case. During his first term he was never sure he would be taken seriously. I think he leaves being taken very seriously and he knew he had to do it for the good of the party. Thats the key. The politics. And its politically expedient to do so. They have a democratic governor and gives them the upper hand next week. Thats the key that. Cannot be under estimated. The fact that you had the majority of his Democratic Caucus coming out and say its time for him to go. Less than a week before they expect to have a new republican senator from alabama assuming that he wins. Roy moore. They, the democrats want to be politically pure and clean and say are you kidding me . This guy is here . That is no small factor here. He said a couple of things that stood out. When he said its not about me, he talked about how its about the people of minnesota and he cant get through the ethics process and still serve them. The subtext was that it is not about me, its the positioning of the democratic party. All three of those were what happened and its a throw away line for a politician to say i may be leaving, but im not gone. He had many decades of experience on the stage, if you will, before politics that we may be hearing from him and i will be interested to see how he decides to do this. Now the republicans own more. She their lawn ornament. December 12th next week, if he wins, they have a difficult decision that they are going to have to make. I think the pressure on franken was clearly you have to take one for the team. You can argue he might have and should have done it earlier, this has gone on for weeks. This was a discussion among women particularly in the senate for weeks. I think push came to shove when there was one other case, but also the election in alabama is coming up. Everybody stand by. We have to take a quick break and up next, we will have more on al frankens decision including a statement from the minnesota governor about whats next there. Well be right back. For your heart.

You cant see the car because you can see the press surrounding the car as he drives away presumably with his wife, franny, who walked in with him before the speech. We are told by our producer he was sitting in the visitors gallery above the senate floor watching her husband give the speech saying he was going to resign his seat in the United States senate from minnesota. There you see its hard to see. Al franken is driving away. And we are back with our panel. We want to talk a little bit about the future and what this means just in the shortterm first and foremost with the senate seat. The politics of this are easier for democrats because there is a democratic governor in minnesota who would presumably appoint a democrat to fill the democratic seat. The democratic governor as well as the Lieutenant Governor tina smith put out a joint statement. Interesting that she is on it because she was expected to be the who fills the seat. They were noncommittal. Events have unfolded quickly and i have not decided how to fill this vacancy. I expect to announce my decision in the next couple of days. I will have no further comments on the subject until that time. There is a lot going on in minnesota politically. There is a governors race because he is not running for reelection. He is not leaving at once. He said in the coming weeks. There are a lot of minnesota democrats that expect a Lieutenant Governor tina smith who is on the list of top contender who is will be the next appointed senator, but a couple of members of congress as well. There will be a race and donald trump won the state by a point and a half. If the election were held right now, the democrat would win by more than that. It changes the dynamic and gives republicans another pathway to maintaining control in the senate. It raises the most competitive. Al franken came to the senate by beating norm coleman by 312 votes. He was not seated until july of 09, the next year. This gives republicans a pathway and extra seat, if you will. Given another thing going on in tennessee and other places where they can have a competitive race to hole the majority. He won his second term pretty easily. Even he was surprised about it. Hard to raise money for it. The Obama Administration was easier. Lets talk about the raw politics of this. I want to play a sound byte the way laura ingram described and analyzed whats going on among democrats. Before the join the march to the castle to capture the monster, i have a word of caution. They have come down with a sudden case of feverish morality, but what it is is nothing more than a political calculation by the dems. She is not wrong. By the way, political calculation in anticipation of whats going to happen next week with roy moore. He has been accused of multiple women and allegations of not just Sexual Misconduct, but child molesting. Right. She is not wrong in saying that yes, this is about politics. We said its about politics, but nothing happens in a vok acuum. Its about the women being upset about the charges and about their colleague. Its about a reckoning going on all over the country including in the United States senate. It is also about the republicans and it is about when will their reckoning come . Yes, i think laura ingram is right, but there is a larger picture here which is that the republicans and the wall street journal editorialized about this, the republicans have their own decisions to make about what they are going to do about moore should he win. The president endorsed him and what happens if he were to win and what happens in the United States senate about seating him . You mentioned the wall street journal and i want to show part of that. Good producing. This is what the state of play looks like according to the wall street journal. An op ed. The democrats are eliminating their stains while the republicans are endorsing theirs. You have to believe in magic to think that this will end well for republicans. With paul ryan making clear nothing had change and roy moore should have dropped out of race. Some people in Republican Leadership trying to preserve a space for themselves and Maneuvering Room for themselves as the process moves forward, but the calculus by the republicans has been different than the calculus by the democrats because of the leader in the oval office. Lets listen to what the House Speaker said about the cultural change going on with all of this. We want to identify what reforms are needed to change the way things work. In addition just better policies to protect women, we need a culture change. We need to recognize this is a pervasive problem that women face not just here in congress, but every industry. This really is a water shed moment and it needs to lead to lasting and positive change. How about the member of his caucus, a sitting member who now we know paid 84,000 in a settlement using taxpayer money. He said he is going to pay it back, but it happened. 84,000 taxpayer dollars on the issue of Sexual Harassment. There is a lot of glass houses here when it comes to this process on capitol hill and our team and others have been doing great reporting on this. There is more shoes to drop. I dont know what they are, but this is clearly the start of something. That goes to the point that the raw politics and roy moore and President Trump are super important, but this moment is also important. The women senators yesterday understand what this moment means in terms of Sexual Harassment and women in the workplace. In terms of all of the things and the fact that whenever someone was talking about roy moore, they were bringing up al franken. Their opportunity to really focus on the moment and push for change and be pure if you want to say that as they move forward on legislative change and social change. All of these issues. That as much as anything, the politics, no question. The moment we are in currently as a question whether its a Time Magazine or whats happening every District Attorney in professional settings or politics. That was being hindered and yesterday was a point where they said it has to change. They have the power and authority to do it which when i first started it, they were arguing about where the bathroom ought to be because there wasnt one and whether they could wear slacks on the senate floor. Thats gone and we are in a different era. These women what i was struck by, when they got together, they had impact in a way that i think we have never seen. Thats a great point. 21 females s eenators. Mostly democrats. We have to take a break and talk about the fbi director on capitol hill as well. He talks about the agency he sees and he said it isnt that the president talked about on twitter. What he said was in tatters.

Fbi director Christopher Wray is on capitol hill defending a tax coming from the oval office. Answering questions about whether special Counsel Robert Mueller can do his job. He has been testifying for 2. 5 hours at this point and cnns Laura Jarrett is tracking it all for us. Sparks were flying. Bring us up to speed. The president s tweets took center stage off the top of the hearing with the ranking democrat on the house judiciary committee. He said you should do more than send a private email to your employees. Your job is to stand up to the president of the United States. He defended his colleagues saying while there is no shortage of opinions, they have big boys and girls keeping americans safe. The directors are facing a sharp series of questions on political bias at the fbi in light of the counter reports that they exchanged a series of emails with a colleague that appeared to criticize the president. He doesnt want to be the type of person to act first and ask questions later. They are looking into everything surrounding the circumstances obstructs emails and more. There is a moment where the congressman started listing the names of several fbi agents one by one quizzing wray on whether they are openly aligning themselves against the Trump Administration and they are pressing him on Robert Muellers probe and whether its biased. Thank you so much and again he is still testifying on capitol hill. Back around the table here to share their reporting and insights, we have perry bacon from 530 a. Business insiders Natasha Bertrand and Phil Matingly is still here. Lets start with the reporting that laura just gave us and others saying excuse me, you have to defend people. That is your job. What they are referring to, we should remind our viewers if they can forget what the president of the United States and a few days and the fbi agents and its fuzzy and clinton going to the other fbi agent in charge. After years of phony with the phony and dishonest clinton investigation, this is the key here. Its reputation is in tatters. Worst in history. So you see it here. But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness. That is what members of congress are very upset about. We have a sound byte we want to play for you about how the fbi director responded. The fbi that i see is decent people committed to the highest principals of integrity and professionalism and respect. The fbi that i see is respected and appreciated. There you see he is defending the fbi, but democrats were saying no, no, you cant wait until you come up to capitol hill and say this under questioning. You cant just send a private email. You have to stand up for your people when the president goes after them. Democrats say and republicans say the fbi is in tatters is not objective enough. I do think the broader context is there is a lot of people particularly Chuck Grassley and others who seized on the Text Messages to say the Mueller Investigation is painted in some way and thats the they think he is trying to talk about carefully. What is the muller investigation. The other key point where republicans are seizing on in a big way and that is that one of the agents working on the Mueller Probe had to be removed because of Text Messages and political Text Messages that he sent. That is what republicans from the chairman on down are going after wray about. Lets listen to that. He just explained that the Clinton Administration was not liable for some of the things that maybe they should have been because of the way that the fbi agents thought politically. They were too partisan and therefore didnt go after not the Clinton Administration, but the state department. This is the most convenient line that the republicans and donald trump has right now. This came out of nowhere. There was a lot of reporting with speculation about why he had been placed in the Hr Department of the fbi. It was weird and rare, but there is something to be said that they took immediate steps to remove him from the investigation. Its not against any rules for an agent to be texting political views. That came up in the hearing, but its not illegal. The optics are really bad especially with a politically sensitive investigation as the russia interference which is under the microscope. The optics are terrible. If they didnt seize on that, it would be malpractice. Chris wrai is stry is struggh the same thing that journalism is struggling with. When the president accuses you of being bias, do you engage or try to diminish it and move on with the work you are supposed to be doing. He made the calculation that it will be better for him to defend when asked in his plain and unpolitical way and keep going which is what his job is to do. I was struck by that. You expect the leader of an organization of an fbi to make a strong forceful statement repeatedly. He is not in that position because of the fbi and special agent that was removed. That has given him pause. I cant tell you how many times he referred to the inspectors general investigation that wrangle out of various things. Margaret nails it. His dal c his calculation to protect his guys. He made his statement and is moving forward. Its better in their mind despite the pressure and the attacks that are directed at bob muellers investigation. However long it may be. We move on with our work. The tree hugging liberals biased towards democrats. Thats a good point. The other point worth making is this is a guy who has just begun a 10year term. Following a guy who was fired and had a letter of repercussions. Its very hard to see. We have a lot more to talk about particularly on the russia probe and what exactly happened behind closed doors for seven hours with the president s eldest son yesterday. Stay with us. Nna hear my story of unrequited love . Its called broccoli cheddar soup. I loved it, but it was like, honey, i am way too decadent for you so i came up with o, thats good a new line of comfort soups with a nutritious twist. We replaced a hunk of this. With velvety butternut squash. If i hadnt told you, you wouldnt know. Comfort food that loves you back. O. Mmm. Thats good aleve direct therapy. The only remote controlled tens device thats drug free, wire free for deep penetrating lower back pain relief. And now get aleve direct therapy. Available at walmart. Welcome back to inside politics. Turning back to capitol hill, donald trump jr. Wasnt as forth coming as they would have liked. The president s eldest son answered questions from the House Intelligence Committee for hours and hours. Seven hours to be precise. What we dont know is what we do know that we didnt know before this is that trump jr. Said he consulted Communications Director hope hicks about how to craft a statement with his june meeting with a russian lawyer who he thought had clinton information and we dont know what he told his father, the president about the meeting. You have been doing a lot of russia reporting. What is your sense of how this played behind the scenes about the implications for the picture. They were frustrated by the fact that donald trump jr. Said i do not recall or i do not recall. He invoked attorneyclient privilege in order not to disclose the conversations with his father. They are trying to get to the bottom of what did your father know at the time . Did he know you met with the russians on june 9th in did you discuss it with him . Did you discuss with him the misleading statement about your meeting . One of the representatives said they will present legal arguments for why it doesnt hold up. You mentioned the democrats were frustrated and jackie spear on the committee was inside the closed doors for many, many hours. Heres how she remembered it. He has a very serious case of amnesia. He was pretty nonresponsive on a lot of issues that frankly he would have a recollection of considering it was just a year ago that many of these events took place when donald trump was the candidate. He was by his fathers side and campaigning with his father. You get the impression in listening to him that he didnt spend much time talking with his father. She is pretty direct and to the point about things. Nothing lights up democrats on the Committee Like omission oers i cant recall. Thats just the case. Thats what fires them up when they come out of the meetings and out of the interviews. You have seen it repeatedly for several individuals. Don jr. Is held on a pedestal when it comes to why they want to talk. Not just of the profile, but the june 9th meeting. You combine that with the Attorney Client privilege and no one can figure out how its privilege. We can talk about it because nobody at this table is a lawyer. You get through the interviews with republicans and democrats. You answer the questions and you do your best to recall everything and dont say i cant recall or this is attorneyclient privilege. That didnt happen and you see adam schiff, the tom democrat say this is a problem and we now have a lot more questions and a lot more issues to dig into than we did before. This probe on the senate side has been remarkably by partisan in the approach and the tone and members are taking. In the house, not so much. That was also clear coming out of yesterdays meeting that don jr. Had the way republicans saw it. Its the one question about one meeting. It was in the presence of their attorneys. If there was something dramatic from the hearing, you would know it. It would have been leaked to you. This is all that came out of hours and hours of hearings. The democrats argue there is nothing to leak because he didnt say anything. This all goes to the point that we know which is what Robert Mueller is doing is much more important than what congress is doing. That will have the ability to basically the consistence ty tot to the bottom of the matters. Im intrigued by the hope hicks revelations. If she is on the airplane talking to the president and don is talking to her. Isnt that like talking to the president . All it does is make her additionally the focus of something she was already part of. It cant be a great feeling for her, but what does it mean . The question is, was the president actively involve and how actively was he involved in forming a statement that at least at first was not the actual story of what happened. Hope hicks is not a random staffer. She is around the president. The idea that he communicated with her. And that also emphasizes what happens yesterday. People dont say i dont recall and make up unusual privilege very often. He doesnt want to tell them about what happened because its not going to exonerate he or the president. Thats true and in fact a sitting president s son went for the second time to capitol hill to answer questions is really extraordinary and we shouldnt forget that. How much those the fact that he agree and how much his children are a big part of this investigation. Everybody stand by. We are going to look at Southern California next. The wildfires raging there and now major fears that high winds could make things even worse. If you can train oxford to sit. Sit you can train yourself to cook with less oil.

Thats just the issue because the winds are still picking up. They are expected to be 50 to 80 Miles Per Hour as the day goes on. What happens they will catch the embers and they can fly them in other directions and get new fires. We were seeing that and watching the firefighters attack the hot spots. The problem is these wins are going to continue through saturday and thats the danger here in california. Thats the danger moving ahead. Thank you so much for that reporting.
