Good evening from new york. Im chris hailts. As the shock waves from tuesdays stunning upset in alabama continue to ripple through washington, a weakened president and his party are stumbling across a new Political Landscape facing for the first time the real possibility of losing their majority in under a year. Already its shifting the calculus for individual lawmakers and putting republicans longawaited tax bill in jeopardy. Today the speaker of the house, paul ryan, shot down reports that hes already heading for the exits, planning to resign at the close of the current term. Thank you very much, everybody, appreciate it. By denying it, ryan avoids becoming a lame duck speaker ahead of the midterm elections. He avoids upsetting the post. According to the Washington Post trump called ryan and asked him if he was leaving. Ryan told trump he wasnt going anywhere. Its one more worry for the president following tuesdays humiliating defeat, rejected not once but twice by voters in alabama, a state he won in 2016 by almost 30 points, the president desperate to save face, reportedly looking at anyone else to blame. According to the Washington Post he faulted his former chief strategist steve bannon by selling him a bill of goods in urging him to support roy moore. Bannon was one of the accused child molesters most prom nant backers sticking with him through election night. According to the neutral ar bitters at Breitbart Bannon was the least culpable for moores stunning loss. The white house is trying to make nice with alabamas next senator, democrat doug jones. Does the president think that roy moore should concede, in other words, does he believe he lost the election fair and square, or does he think he was the victim of widespread illegal illegitimate voting . I think the president s position is pretty clear in his outreach to doug jones directly. He called and they spoke yesterday. They had a great conversation, a very positive conversation. He likes doug jones. And looks forward to meeting him in person. And hopes that he will come and follow through on his commitment to work with the president on some things that they agree on. Over on capitol hill, jones victory has upended the politics of the republican tax bill which is in more peril right now than its been in weeks. Facing protests in congress, a diminished president , and legislation few americans want, some republican lawmakers may be on the verge of a jail break. The party can only afford to lose two votes in the senate where bob corker was a no in the first round of voting. Besides corker, jeff flake only voted yes on the condition of starting talks on a permanent fix for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Susan collins holding out for new measures to stabilize the health care market, which are currently excluded from the upcoming spending bill. John mccain and thad cochran are in poor health and may not be able to vote. Marco rubio now says he will not support the bill unless it includes an expanded Child Tax Credit. Now as i said before on this program, if your life depends on marco rubio having a spine, youre already dead. But the guy tends to keep track of where the political winds are blowing. Unless they figure out a way to increase the fundable part higher than 11 hundred, the way they figured out a way to give corporations an extra year of cuts, the way they figured out a way to lower the top rate for someone a family making 1 million. Unless they can figure out a way to add to the 1,100 figure, i wont support the bill. According to reporting from bloomberg, orrin hatch, the senates chief tax writer, says hes not sure rubios demands can be met. I dont know what theyre going to do to satisfy him. Hatch says they can probably pass the bill without rubio. But its not clear how. Mike lee, rubios partner on the Child Tax Credit, says he too is undecided on the final vote. In a sign of just how worried the white house has become about its final shot at passing major legislation, they announced Vice President mike pence is postp e postponing a trip to the middle east next week in case they need his vote in the senate to get the bill over the finish line. David k. Johnson its an worse than you think what the Trump Administration is doing to america. Jennifer, ill start with you. Has the jones victory altered the call accumulaticulations hat now in regard to the tax about il . Absolutely. They have no margin for error if this drags into january, theyll go to 51 49. Secondly, i think there is a realization that what are they doing sticking with this president . He is not going to help them. If he cant help someone in alabama, hes not going to help them in other more competitive states. I think also a lot of these polls that are out recently, theres a whole batch of them this week showing just how unpopular this bill is. People have figured out its a gift to the rich, its a gift to corporations. Who would have thunk. So i think at this point there are more reasons to vote against it than there are for it. And i would keep a very choice eye on Susan Collins, who is under tremendous pressure. Remember, she was sold a bill of goods, some of us thought, by Mitch Mcconnell in promising these pieces of legislation that were supposed to ameliorate the effects of the appeal of the individual mandate. Shes got nothing. Does she go forward because she feels shed lose face if she doesnt . Or say, wait a second, marco rubios holding out, why cant i get what i was promised . David, its striking to me that some of the most succinct, pithy, sort of characterizations of the distributional effects of this tax bill are coming from marco rubio, who in 20 seconds summarizes the chief beneficiaries. He says, if you can play around with the rates for people making 1 million a year, if you can play around the rates for corporations, youre telling me you cant give a refundable Child Tax Credit of 1,100 . Its a devastating argument against the bill that the republicans are proposing. The republicans have managed to do something none of us could have imagined. Tax cuts have been the republican signature issue since ronald reagan. And theyve managed to produce a tax cut bill that more than twothirds of americans are telling pollsters they oppose. I mean, you cant make this stuff up. And rubio, while i agree with you, hes something of an empty suit and not a guy with a lot of backbone, is saying something i think other senators are thinking. If i vote for this bill, if i raise taxes on even 1 in 6 middleclass families and give all these goodies away to the already richest people in the country, a 2 million a year tax cut to the 143 highestpaid americans whose jobs pay a little over 100 million a year, what are voters going to do for me . He doesnt have to run for election for a couple of cycles. Marco rubio, i think he genuinely believes in the policy hes pushing, i think thats true of mike lee, i think they want to see this in here. I also think its good policy. And in fact if they structure the entire tax bill around it they might have a piece of legislation that was polling twothird in the other direction. Jennifer, to the point david made, now theyre floating theyre considering letting the tax cuts on the family side expire sooner so they can get more money to bring down the top rate for millionaires. Everything they do to this bill is making it less popular somehow. It is amazing. Almost like theres a contest, how do we make this the worst possible tax bill . As david says, in history. It really is kind of amazing. Lowering the top rate, like there werent enough gimmes for the rich in there. Now talking about an earlier expiration. Wasnt bad enough it was going to expire at the end of the ten years. So this really has become a freeforall. They have a real problem here. They have a couple real problems. One is that theyre caught up in their own budget math. They cant afford to start giving stuff back because they dont have the revenue. They have this restriction under the budget, they only can spend 1. 5 trillion, even though theres funny math in there, and they cant have a deficit that runs out beyond the tenyear window. So theres only so much they can do here. And you know, they made this announcement on tuesday that they had reached a deal in principle. This feels awful like theres no deal in principle, or in detail. I think they were fudging it and no one told marco rubio and others to get on the script. And whats the risk that if one bolts, many bolt . If youre trying to hold this together for mcconnell, thats got to be his fear. They can only lose two votes. As you went through the list of people who may vote against this, in the case of cochran and john mccain may not be able to vote, this can go down. One thing thats important about this bill to keep in mind is were going to borrow money to give alreadyrich people a tax cut. Were going to reduce investments in the future in the most valuable asset we have in america, young mines, and this really does prove something ive said repeatedly on your show. That the republicans believe americas overwhelming economic problem is the rich dont have enough. And its their duty to get it to them. And you watch, if this passes, theyre going to come for your Social Security and Everything Else because the children, the elderly, the disabled who cant fight back, are going to end up paying the real bill. Theres already reporting about how paul ryan possibly headed to the exits, hes knocked down that idea. But thats going to be his big mission next year if they pass this, spend down his last bit of Political Capital going after social insurance programs. David k. Johnson and jennifer rubin, thank you. Among the handful of republican senators who could revolt on this tax bill is arizonas jeff flake, a vocal critic of the president and stepping down after this term. After holding out for a permanent fix for d. R. E. A. M. Ers, undocumented immigrants who arrived as children, flake went ahead and voted for the Senate Version of the tax bill without securing any guarantees that his legislative priority would be taken care of. After that vote last week, on a flight to phoenix, he ran into activist audie barkin who suffers from lou gehrigs disease. Barkin challenged flake to rise to the occasion. Think about the legacy that you will have for my son and your grandchildren if you take your principles and turn them into votes. You can save my life. Please. Please remember this conversation. Youre very up on everything, arent you. My life depends on it. Since then, barkins been busy lobbying members of congress against that republican tax bill, meeting with flake again last night and with senator Susan Collins before being arrested at a demonstration inside the capitol. He joins me now. He works on economic and Racial Injustice at the center for popular democracy. Let me start with this. We saw people mobilizing against aca repeal and the harm that they felt was going to happen was very tangible, medicaid cuts, things like that. Corporate tax cuts feel more abstract to people. Why are you so intent on this bill what harm do you fear it will do . Chris, thanks for having me on. The most basic harm it would do is it would require immediate huge cuts to social spending, including medicare disability. 400 billion over 10 years. And if those cuts go into effect as they will under the current law, i might november have access to the lifesaving equipment and the drugs that could help buy me another year or two years or three years to see my little baby boy learn to read or shoot a basketball or go to first grade. And im desperate for that time. Ive paid into medicare just like all of us pay in every two weeks. We make a commitment to one another and to our society that were going to protect each other in case tragedy strikes. And the republicans are saying, ahah, you dont get that medicare disability you paid for because donald trump jr. Needs a tax cut for his real estate developments, and my hedge fund buddies on wall street need a tax cut too. So i think thats not okay. And im trying to do what i can to fight it. You have had a lot of conversations with members of the senate, you met with collins and flake. Whats your assessment of where their heads are at and where the votes are at . Well, i think that david and jennifer and you had a really good conversation. It certainly seems to me like the script is repeating itself just like weve seen it all year long. Mcconnell and ryan are lying. And they try to front like they have the votes. Then it turns out maybe they dont. And you know, the same thing happened with aca, right . They said they were going to pass the bill 15 times. And every time disabled folks and young people and old people and doctors and nurses came here to raise their voices to say, no, were not going to accept a society that leaves Vulnerable People without health care. And time and again we beat them. And were going to do the same thing with that tax bill. Because it does have enormous Health Consequences for tens of millions of people. Really chris, it will destroy the whole Health Insurance market. We can get into that if you want. You know it well. Let me ask you this. Because i want to the republicans say, when you the idea is in law, when revenue goes down, youve got to cut social spending, called pago. They say, dont worry about that, all the cuts youre concerned about, trust us, its not going to happen. Do you not trust them . Two points. Youre joking, chris. Two points. One, who in their right mind would ever trust Mitch Mcconnell, paul ryan, and donald trump . Because remember, donald trump has to sign that waiver pago. How many times a day does he lie . For his own enrichment and advancement . So, no. Nobody trusts them, and nobody should. And two, ryan is going around saying, next up on the chopping block is medicaid and medicare and Social Security. So how can they say were going to waive pago, but were also going to cut the living daylights out of this thing . It makes no sense. But chris, can i just make a request to the American People . Because this really is an opportunity for folks to step up and reclaim our democracy. This building belongs to us. This congress is ours. We have to renew our faith in our ability as a people to stand up for what we believe in and to change the course of this country. We cant allow donald trump and his lying son and selfish sons to rip families apart, to steal our money, to take our health care away. Its up to us to stand up. Look, it was hard for me to come here. Im disabled. Its been a really hard year. There are people here with me fighting by my side. Megan anderson, shes almost totally paralyzed, she flew here from cincinnati by herself. I mean, the lengths she went to fight. So im asking tonight, all americans who care about this, stand up with me on monday. Its my birthday. I dont know how many birthdays i have left. Stand up with me. Go to www. Stopgoptaxscam. Com. Chris, please have your producers put it up. Www. Stopgoptaxscam. Com. Come to washington. Raise your voices.

Im hoping for good years ahead. Thats thanks to Research Funded by the american cancer society. The same folks giving me free rides to treatments, insurance advice, and a place to stay during chemo.

Comes to us from the Washington Post which reports in july of 2015, july of 2015, about a month after donald trump launched his president ial bid in that escalator, british publicist rod goldstone suggested his russian pop star client could arrange for the new candidate to meet with russian president Vladimir Putin. Maybe he would welcome a meeting with president putin, goldstone wrote in an email to trumps personal assistant. Theres no indication trump or his assistant followed up on the offer, but this email came a year before goldstone successfully arranged and attended a 2016 trump tower meeting with trumps eldest son, with a russian lawyer, who said he had incriminating information about democratic candidate hillary clinton. This story comes on the same day the Washington Post also reported that trump has always doubted russian interference in the 2016 election. When trumps soninlaw jared kushner, former chief of staff reince priebus, tried to get president elect trump to accept the findings of u. S. Intelligence agencies and admit russia interfered in the election, quoting here, trump became agitated. He railed that the intelligence couldnt be trusted and scoffed at the suggestion his candidacy had been propelled by forces other than his own strategy, message and charisma. According to the post the president is so irritated by talk of russia officials avid bringing it up during the president s daily briefing. If you talk about russia peddling, that takes him off the rails. Current current and former officials said his daily update is often structured to avoid upsetting him. According to another i former highranking Trump Administration official there is an unspoken understanding within the National Security council that to raise the matter is to acknowledge its validity, which the president would see as an affront. Its confirmed President Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin today, according to the kremlin the white house initiated the call. National security analyst, former deputy secretary, youve got rob gold stone, intermediary between those wealthy oligarchs, and the saying putin wants to meet your dad. A month after he gets in the race, goldstone asking if the president , if trump wants to meet Vladimir Putin. What do you make of that . Chris, it shows that the trump family, they had these rich, deep connections with the russians. We know, of course, because of the 2013 Miss Universe contest which occurred in moscow that also i think happened on the urging urging that trump had chummy relationships. We know there were russian investments in trump properties, certainly in the United States and florida and elsewhere. So these connections were there. They were always there. The russians are very good at planting connections, starting friendships, starting relationships, that they can use opportunistically in the future. The minute donald trump entered the president ial campaign they thought, bingo, we already know this guy, were chummy with him, and again, oleg has access to putin. I dont think that part was made up by goldstone. Goldstone probably couldnt guarantee they would get that meeting, but still, there is a relationship there. Remember the lawyer, shes also coming from oleg and gold stone. The russians are very good at using the relationships they have. They thought, okay, this is our guy, were going to see how far we can go. Whether at that point they probably werent thinking donald trump was going to be president , but they were going to use this to the max. The other Washington Post report about how the president just will not sort of accept or admit what is the consensus view of not just american intelligence agencies but everyone who looked at it with any bit of rigor, that the russians pulled off this hack, stole these documents, attempted to interfere, did interfere in the election. As someone who worked in the Government Social media, yeah. What does it mean to have a president who this is part of his job. Sort of dealing with this. And he just wants hes got his head in the sand. I think its really reckless, frankly. We can laugh about it all we want. Oh, russia, they cant talk about russia. Its actually scary. Because russia is our adversary. Theyve decided theyre in an adversarial relationship with us. They pose a direct threat to our nato allies who are on their borders. They are obviously causing trouble for us still in syria and the middle east. We dont have a resolution to the civil war there. I can go down the list. Theyre violating all kinds of nuclear and conventional arms control agreements. And so to ignore them i think is dangerous. And of course by ignoring the hack, by ignore is the Information Operation against our country that means that our president is not paying attention to how to defend us against russia the next time around, much less against iran, north korea, other countries that might want to copy what the russians did. What do you say to people who say, it is important for the u. S. To reconstruct a productive and reciprocal relationship with russia, areas of coincident interest, that the russia investigation and the political pressure brings to bear stands as an obstacle to doing that . I would agree with the first part. Yes, it would be great to have a constructive, cooperative relationship with russia on any issue possible. But on the second part, i dont believe that the investigations the impediment. The impediment has to do with how russia currently, under the existing leadership, sees its interests. They see their interests as counter to u. S. Interests. So this is not a question of whether we want to be friends with them. We have interests and we need to sit down with russia and talk and see where our interests align. Where they dont align, we have to be firm, we have to say, you cannot have parts of ukraine that you illegally seized, for example. You cant violate international law.

After a historic meeting, they ran the media gauntlet to open the worlds glitziest casino. Donald trump gave Michael Jackson a personal tour of his 1. 2 billion extravaganza. President trump has displayed more enthusiasm for flashy photo ops than the work thats supposed to come next. As the nowformer employees of the trump taj mahal casino know too well. Instead the president joined by ryan zinke in an event lauding his administration for rolling back the regulations that are designed to protect us. They made a big show of cutting a big literal piece of red tape. Come on up here, chris, you worked so hard. Elaine, are you okay . Come on are you okay . Yep, fine. She has a lot to do with it. She has things called roads. And bridges, right . Yes. Okay. One, two, three. Thank you, everybody. He did it. It happened. He cut the red tape. Literally cut it. That ribbon was taped between two stacks of paper meant to illustrate the increase in regulations since 1960. Those its tough to assess the accuracy of the sacks as the sheets of paper were blank. Who benefits from repealing all those regulations in the big stack on the right . Is the president looking out for the forgotten man like he often claims . Today trumps fcc rolled back internet regulations meant to foster competition.

Despite a furious dissent from the two democrats on the commission. What saddens me the most today is that the agency that is supposed to protect you is actually abandoning you. The decision to eliminate the socalled Net Neutrality rules was a massive victory for Internet Service providers, including comcast, the Parent Company of msnbc. It means those providers can charge more to visit certain sites, slow down your Internet Speed when you visit, or cut off access altogether. In the eyes of critics bike Bernie Sanders it is nothing less than an end to the internet as we know it. They will have the right to discriminate and favor the internet traffic of those companies with whom they have a pay for play arrangement and the right to consign all others to a slow and bumpy road. The fccs decision prompted a furious backlash, including from corporate opponents like netflix and twitter, and elected officials who are vowing to fight back. Doing this so that they can reap more profit, so they can buy more political influence, so they can give themselves more bonuses, so they can create more mergers, so they can get rid of more jobs. It is to screw the American People. And we are not going to stand by for it. The head of the fcc is Republican Former verizon lawyer ajid pi who dismisses concerns rollback will stifle competition. In a video he stressed people will be able to do things like post pictures of their food still. He suggested today critics massively overreacting. Returning to the Legal Framework that governed the internet from president clintons pronouncement in 1996 until 2015 is not going to destroy the internet. It is not going to end the internet as we know it. It is not going to kill democracy. It is not going to stifle Free Expression online. Joining me, new York State Attorney general eric typer, leading a multistate lawsuit against the fcc to reverse todays Net Neutrality rollback. First the lawsuit. Why are you suing . Were suing because the fcc today broke essentially all the rules of administrative procedure. Agencies arent just allowed to make any arbitrary decision. In fact, courts have held if a decision is arbitrary and capricious, the terms they used, it has to be rejected. The fcc for years has tried to enforce open internet rules. Its been very important. In 2015 after a tremendous amount of work and lots of research and comments in open order, nothing has changed since then to justifies this order, repealing the open internet. They relied on facts that are not in the record. They have to reach a reasoned decision based on facts. Youre saying, look, the facts havent changed since 2015, just because theres a new sheriff in town you cant just reverse the order because thats the desired policy of the people running the body . Correct. You have to have a reasoned decision based on facts. They assert, for example, the chairman saying the internet are investing. Not supported by the facts. You cant make this radical and administrative change based on facts that arent there. Youre saying theyre getting things wrong, when they make an argument, we have to do this because isps arent building out capacity because were limiting their profitability, youre saying thats just not true, they are . Correct. And the fundamental rules of the open internet are what have thats whats enabled it to work so well. Thats enabled us all to grow. So for them to come back in and say, were going to take away these rules, were going to stop treating the Internet Service providers as just providing a connection point. Even though thats what they do. All the findings of fact of 2015 are still valid. You cant do that under the administrative procedure. Another part, the commenting section, its a strange story. When theres a big regulatory change, open comment, citizens can say, i like this change to regulation, i dont like this change to regulation. Tell me about the commenting process here and why its part of your lawsuit. Its a very important part of the process because its actually an aspect of democracy. Under these rules, americans are allowed to have input. Agencies are required to consider that input. Under law . Under law. You have to the Comment Period is a part of the will you. Youre not going to be able to change the rule without it. Here they have a corrupted Comment Period. Starting in may we recognized there were fake comments and people who it appeared their identities were stolen issuing comments. Weve contact the fcc over half a dozen times, no response, until an open letter last month saying, youve got to deal with the fact that you are dealing with millions of fake comments. They refused to cooperate. So what weve got is the largest number of comments in history. Over 23 million. But we think well in excess of 10 million either are fake or people who have their identities stolen. Wait a second. What youre saying is someone unthe name of chris hayes is commenting on the fccs proposal when its not actually me . Yes. Worse than that. Chris hayes, with your address in there, because someone your identity was stolen. You have evidence and proof of this . My assistant press secretarys name and legal address submitted a comment she never committed. Somebodys dead mother supposedly submitted a comment. Its obvious theres someone attempting to swing comments going both ways, there may be multiple parties. But the fck has refused to cooperate in our effort to investigate this. Identity theft and impersonating someone is a crime under new york law. We have to investigate, they have refused. Thats another aspect of our claims. Really this should go beyond the merits of this particular case. Republican or democrat, you shouldnt want people hacking into our rule and comment process. A large number of the hacks came from outside the documents. Some of them came from russia. We need to get to the bottom of this. The lawsuit, a bunch of states joining this. We should have a lot. What does this mean, whats next . They pass this today. When does it get implemented if theyre victorious . Were going to court. I expect a lot of other parties will file suits. And court will determine the venue. Then were going to challenge the rules and seek to stay their implementation. This would hurt us a lot. Lets not lose sight of whats at stake. Under these new rules isps will be able to censor content, be able to determine you cant have access to some websites, be able to slow down your Internet Service until you pay more money to get faster service, or slow down the service for content providers like amazon or netflix until they pay more. This would corrupt the internet. It sps, including the company that owns this network, say were not going to anything, dont worry. Yes, imagine us repealing environmental regulations because exxon says, we promise not to pollute . Not going to happen. Thanks for being here.

Thing 1, President Trump when reading from prepared remarks sometimes misses the mark, as we all do. Like today when he appeared to mistake scrapping for scraping. Were scraping and really doing a job and getting rid of the jobkilling regulations that threatened our auto workers and have devastated their jobs over the years. He clearly meant to say scrapping jobkilling regulations. Since he got it wrong he riffed until he could get back on track. Normally when the president does is follow the flub with a fix. Get the word completely wrong, then add the correction, then act like he meant to do it, which gives us gems like the furniture of our children.

But the president has a trick, the mistake and smooth correction, like a blues guitarist who might improvise around a missplayed note. Has instead given unelected reg la fors and regulators. We will arrive at a piece and a place far greater in understanding and cooperation. Let us rethink old assumptions and open our hearts and minds to possible and possibilities.

Al franken is resigning from the senate. And it goaes no that just happened last week. And others on this panel are among the additional members of the body accused, credibly accused. Uses time to enter the me, too, moment into the congressional record and the colleague he was referring to, of course, was texas republican blake who settled a Sexual Harassment claim with 84,000 of public money. Today congressman farenthold will not run for reelection after news of the texas republican calling Staff Members expletives and making sexually explicit comments. I allowed the personal stress of the job to manifest itself in angry outbursts and too often, a failure to treat people with the respect that they deserved. That was wrong. Therefore im announcing my decision not to run for reelection. The blake thafarenthold era l come to an end. The pressure mounds on the white house. President trump is accused of Sexual Harassment and assault. While the president has so far avoided consequences, a growing number of democrats are now calling for his resignation. Tonight, senator of maryland added his name to the list and senator Kamala Harris saying he should resign in the best interest of the country. More than 100 are calling for the House Oversight committee. Well talk about what that means for the president and republicans with former senator barbara boxer, next. I can do more to lower my a1c. Because my body can still make its own insulin. And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen. The pen where you dont have to see or handle a needle. And it works 24 7. Trulicity is a onceweekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take trulicity if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if youre allergic to trulicity. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. To help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. Ask your doctor if onceweekly trulicity is right for you. I me were supposed to cheer for our side of the isle, if you will, but im happy for what happened for all of us, no our nation and people serving in the senate to not have to deal with what likely we would have to deal with should the outcome have been the other way. Even republicans are relief that roy moore lost the Alabama Senate race on tuesday, a sign of how dire the gop straights are. A disinteresting glove neoverni lack of selfcontrol and a congress to raise middle class taxes to give tax cuts to corporations and civil war led by steve bannon threatening to republicans across the country. Barbara boxer spent more than 20 years as a senator from the state of california. Let me start with your reaction to corkers comments. It strikes me that the vast majority of republican senators, even though they wouldnt say so publicly were probably also rooting for doug jones to win. I think many were because they knew what awaited. I was on your show and remember looking at the camera and saying people of alabama read the Washington Post story and vote your conscience and they did it. What would have happened if roy moore showed up there, which he apparently is still trying to do is that the Ethics Committee would launch a Major Investigation and they would have just turned over and more things would have come out and it would have been a disaster and i predicted if it went that way, he could wind up behind bars, so i think for him, hes better off and certainly for the country and for republicans and democrats its better. I mean, thank you, alabama. You talked about last time we were talking about the Ethics Committee and the role it played in bob packwood that had to leave for harassment allegations, a bunch of them. You were there for that. Yeah. What do you think of this idea that growing call to investigate in some form way to use congressional oversight to investigate the allegations made against the president of the United States . Well, i gave it a lot of thought and i think it makes sense for the house to do it because, you know, the house impeached bill clinton for a lot less than trump did in his life. He admitted it, basically, woman after woman after woman after woman and they are coming forward now. It would be a cause for impeachment so i think it does make sense for them to start some hearings on this subject. Do you think that the behavior before office would be able to make for an Impeachable Offense in. Well, i think because hes lying about it and said it on the campaign trail, he said this is terrible. Im going to sue all these women. You would argue he got elected on false pretense, you know, that he lied about it. So, yeah, i think its a different standard now. We in government should have a higher standard, and there is no question in my mind, its turned and this guy from texas, if he thinks hes going to last for another year, hes a creep. He needs to go. And he needs to go now. Blake farenthold who tried to split the baby in the psense. You dont think hell be able to make it through the year . Oh, forget about it. All this garbage about how the pressures of the job really, i cry for you. You wanted this job. What kind of pressures is he talking about. I served in office for 40 years. If hes going to crack up over pressure, he should leave tomorrow, you know . Hes got to go. What situation in your assessment having served in the United States senate for 20 years watching them, the end of the years bearing down on him and doug jones and they havent produced legislation, its all rushing towards this conclusion, what do you think of where the republicans are at right now . They are just in a loselose like they were in alabama. If they lose this tax bill, which i pray god for the American People and middle class and poor people and sick people that hope they lose this, they lose. If it passes, its such a terrible bill. They lose. And their biggest problem is they decided not to work with democrats. How dumb was that . You know, its the only way you can get things done and even though they complain obamacare was not really done with them, they had over 100 amendments in committee included in the bill. Barbara boxer, thanks for your time tonight. Thanks. That is all in for this evening. The rachthe Rachel Maddow show now. Its been a busy news day. The fcc today, as expected, voted to end Net Neutrality, which in theory will give Internet Service providers the ability to control what youre allowed to see on the swinterne and what sort of internet based applications and services you will be allowed to use. They will decide, not you. If Internet Service providers elect to speed up or slow down certain traffic for commercial purposes, that will put the whole online world, your access to the whole online world in their hands. As i say todays vote was expected. It does end up being more controversial vote than the fcc expected for some very specific reasons, including some stuff
