[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] senator ron johnson yesterday became the first gop senator to announce that he will not support the republican tax plan. Paul ryan called it a real kick in the where his balls should be. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] President Trump met with republican lawmakers in the basement of the capitol today just before they voted on the new tax reform bill, and nobody was more excited to see them down there than eric.

[ laughter ] President Trump delivered a statement at the white house yesterday about his 12day trip to asia. Said trump, it was so cool. They eat with these crazy what do they call it . Theyre really weird. Ive never seen them before. Oh, right. Napkins. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] President Trump reportedly joked to House Republicans today that he only likes between 30 to 40 of them. Dont worry, he says that all of the time, said his kids. [ laughter ] am i in the 30 to 40 father . According to a new study, sweat might one day be used to unlock smartphones. So get ready to all be hacked by steve bannon.

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a fantastic show for you tonight very exciting. Hes the host of all in with chris hayes on msnbc. Chris hayes is back on the show, everybody [ cheers and applause ] her new film, the darkest hour is already getting some serious oscar buzz. Kristin scott thomas is here tonight.

[ cheers and applause ] youre here at a good one. You know, these days there seems to be a drug for everything and last night, i saw a commercial for a new pharmaceutical that is certainly a sign of the times. Take a look. Have you recently been experiencing bouts of insomnia . Do you feel like the walls are closing in on you . Do you feel like your entire life could come crumbling down at any minute . If youre a man whos afraid that his past episodes of Sexual Assault and or harassment will come to light and as a result struggle with insomnia, then struggle no more. Because now theres pervatol, the first sleep aid specifically designed for sexual predators. Ask your doctor if pervatol is right for you. Is pervatol right for me . I mean all i did was rub carries shoulders and tell her she was looking hot. Pervatol is right for you. I am super close with my friend denise at work. We talk about everything, even our sex lives. Do you talk about both of your sex lives, or just yours . Well just mine, but i pressure her to talk about hers. Pervatol is right for you. We were on a work trip. It was 4 am and i was wasted. So i started innocently banging on her door, demanding she let me in. I mean she was my intern. Pervatol is right for you. Well she didnt tell me i could, but pervatol is right for you. We made eye contact, and i just went for it. Pervatol is right for you. We were in an uber pool and pervatol is right for you. [ laughter ] pervatols not right for me. I know it. I mean i never even touched her. Oh, did you say anything to her . No. Then what happened . Well she walked into my office. Uhhuh. And i was just sitting there yeah. Masturbating. What the [ bleep ] is wrong with you . You can choke on a pervatol for all i care. [ laughter ] now when your loved ones and coworkers ask, how do you sleep at night . Just tell them with pervatol. With pervatol. With pervatol. Dont touch me. Take back your nights with pervatol. Pervatol is effective as a sleep aid only. Pervatol in no way, shape or form can erase your history of Sexual Assault and harassment and cannot absolve you of your guilt and shame. In fact, those who take pervatol should be aware that within our current climate these accusations will come out sooner than later. Now that victims are no longer afraid to speak up, were going to take down the patriarchy and make you watch as it burns. I swear to god, were coming for every last one of you so you might as well get some sleep, with pervatol. [ cheers and applause ] seth moving on. Congress has been rocked by its own Sexual Misconduct allegations this week with senator al franken being accused of Sexual Harassment. Yet more women coming forward to accuse Alabama Senate candidate, roy moore, of sexually assaulting them as teenagers. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth the avalanche of Sexual Harassment allegations in the last few weeks has shown us that predatory behavior is everywhere in virtually every aspect of society. In the news business, in entertainment and in politics. Every day, there are more revelations and this week we started to get a sense of just how pervasive Sexual Harassment is in congress, too. There are two members of congress, republican and democrat, right now, who serve, who have been subject to review, or not have been subject to review, but have engaged in Sexual Harassment. These harasser propositions, such as are you going to be a good girl to perpetrators exposing their genitals, to victims having their private parts grabbed on the house floor. Seth that is awful. Id say congress is full of dicks, but most of them look more like ball sacks. [ laughter ] and today we also learned yet again as if more evidence was needed, that this is not a partisan problem. There are sexual harassers of all political persuasions in both parties. Take minnesota senator al franken. Today an anchor for kabc in los angeles said senator al franken kissed and groped me without my consent during a uso tour in 2006 and shared this photo of franken groping her while she was asleep. That is horrifying and she is wearing army gear because its a uso tour, but honestly, who could blame women if they started wearing military gear whenever theyre around men . Where are you going in a helmet and a flak jacket . The subway. [ laughter ] this is a pervasive problem that affects every aspect of society and every Political Party and everyone should be held accountable from al franken, to roy moore, to bill clinton, to the current president of the United States. And yet amid all of this, there are still republicans defending moore, their nominee for senate in alabama, who, of course, has been accused of sexually assaulting underage girls. Take, for example, alabama congressman, mo brooks, who said he still plans to support moore because the conservative agenda is vastly more important than contested sexual allegations from four decades ago. An abc reporter tried to ask brooks if he believes the very credible accounts of the women who accused moore of Sexual Assault and brooks literally ran away from him during the interview. [ indistinct chatter ] [ shoes tapping ] seth bad day to wear my tap shoes. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] id tell mo brooks to go to hell, but it looks like thats where hes trying to get. [ laughter ] that whole scene reminds me of the m. C. Escher drawing titled the chicken [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] of course part of the reason republicans are so desperate to ignore questions about moore is that even the ones who say they believe his accusers cant explain why they dont also believe the women who have accused President Trump of Sexual Assault. A reporter for the Huffington Post valiantly tried to get wyoming senator mike enzi to answer that question, but enzi wouldnt budge. Im working on taxes right now and concentrating on that and heading to a meeting where i have to speak and thats what im concentrating on. Enzi said, walking quickly down a senate hallway. Asked if he has any thoughts at all on the moore scandal, he replied, my thoughts are on taxes, if you want to talk about taxes. Okay. Do you want to tax roy moore asks huff post . [ laughter ] enzi he said nothing and walked away. [ laughter and applause ] youve got to admire youve got to admire the Huffington Post effort. Reporters should just keep doing that until republicans answer the question. Look, i just want to talk about building a wall. Okay, should we build a wall between teenagers and roy moore . [ laughter ] a reporter for nbc news similarly tried to get an answer about moore from arkansas republican senator, tom cotton, with no luck. Heres that transcript. Do you think that roy moore should drop out of the race . No comment. Do you have any comment at all about his alleged no comment. Do you support his candidacy . No comment. Elevator doors close. [ laughter ] so technically, the elevators had more to say in that transcript than tom cotton. So hey, elevator, do you think roy moore should drop out . [ laughter ] [ applause ] the refusal by many republicans, including the president , to discuss moores situation comes as we keep getting information about how creepy his behavior was. Earlier this week, it was reported that moore was actually banned from the gadsden mall and the ymca. He got banned from the ymca despite dressing exactly like one of the village people. [ laughter and applause ] now yesterday on msnbc, moores lawyer, Trenton Garmon tried to dispute the claim that roy was banned from the mall, but in the process, he seemed to confirm that there were indeed complaints about his behavior. I was engaged in litigation with the gadsden mall, it had a settlement that was confidential. I am intimately familiar there were procedures inside the gadsden mall and there from what i have been told, is never been a list with roy moore banned from being at the mall. So they processed that out and they determined, no, whatever it is that someone has said has made them uncomfortable, we dont find it to be worthy to put them on a list. Is it not cause for concern that there would even be any sort of settlement with the gadsden mall . Roy moore was in his 30s. No what type of settlement sure. No, maam. No, there was not a settlement with roy moore had nothing to do roy moore has never had a settlement with the gadsden mall. Im talking about my personal experience as a litigator. I have represented people against the gadsden mall. Seth wait, youve been a lawyer in other cases of people v mall . [ laughter ] so i guess even banned from the mall and need a lawyer, Trenton Garmon is your man. [ laughter and applause ] but the weirdest part of the interview that moores lawyer gave to msnbc came when he tried to defend moores claim that he always asked for permission from a girls mother before dating her. Garmon tried to argue that that kind of behavior was common in other cultures and threw in some gross racism when he tried to cite msnbc anchor ali velshis background to bolster his case. Why would he need permission from any of these girls mothers if they werent under age . Theyre not under age. Sure, thats a good question. Culturally speaking, i would say theres differences looked up alis background there. Wow, thats awesome that you have got such a diverse background, its really cool to read through that, but point is this what does alis background have to do with dating a 14yearold . Im not finished with the context of it. Well, please answer. The point of it is this what does ali velshis background have to do with dating under children. 14yearold girls . Sure. In other countries, theres arrangements through parents for what we would refer to as ali is from canada. Consensual marriage so ali is from canada. [ laughter ] seth so either Trenton Garmon is a racist, or he thinks canada has arranged marriages. And yet in spite of all this damning evidence about moores predatory and grotesque behavior, trump still has said nothing about what moore should do. In fact, yesterday, he spoke at the white house about his trip to asia and completely ignored questions about moore from reporters. America is back. And the future has never looked brighter. Thank you, god bless you and god bless the United States of america. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you all. Should roy moore resign, mr. President . Do you believe [ talking over each other ] should he resign . Seth if the future is so bright, why do you look so bummed out walking away . [ laughter ] so everything is great and theres nothing to be upset about. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and while some republicans are desperate to ignore the questions, others are urging trump to take a stand. Like South Carolina senator, lindsey graham, who had this to say about moore. I met a lot of people in the mall and if youd get kicked out of the mall, thats a pretty bad situation to find yourself in. [ laughter ] i mean, i agree, but why have you met a lot of people in the mall . Ive got a booth. Its called lindseys nut hut. its mostly pecans. Those pecans are as sweet as old lindsey. This is a societywide problem born out of systemic misogyny and abuse of power. And both parties need to take it seriously, no matter who is accused. Dont you agree, congressman mo brooks . [ laughter ] this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth well be right back with chris hayes [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube. victoria vo when i was twelve, i started volunteering for national parks.

Michelle baptista, everyone [ cheers and applause ] thank you for a fantastic week. Great having you here. Our first guest tonight is the emmywinning host of all in with chris hayes, which airs weeknights at 8 00 p. M. On msnbc. Please welcome back to the show, our friend, chris hayes, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth thank you so much for coming up. Its always my great pleasure to commute the four floors up. Seth it is four floors up. And i do want to speak this is very noble of you because you do your show live. We are pretaping, so you actually have to leave here and go do your show. You basically have to give up an hour. A million things could happen in that hour. Yeah, i fully anticipate that the senate will be down to about 60 members by the time i get back down. [ light laughter ] seth youre right, yeah. The majority will be much less. One of the things that seems to be getting a little lost and sort of the more salacious things that are happening every day is the tax plan. House voted on one today. You have sort of talked about on your show that the math that the republicans are pushing does not quite add up. You know, twothirds of the tax cut is for corporations, right . Seth yes. And the idea the sort of sales pitch is were going to give it to ceos and corporations, theyre going to take that money and turn around and be like, you get a job, you get a job, new factory here, raises here. And the other day, gary cohn, economic advisor, is in a roomful of ceos, and someone says, raise your hand if youre going to give people raises and invest in Capital Investment and like no one raises their hand. Seth yeah, and he did it he was hoping that it would be a sea of hands. He even said, why arent peoples hands up . [ light laughter ] seth yeah. Its like, because its not going to work. Seth yeah. So its really a pretty crazy thing. It also is the case that if you look at the numbers, its a tax hike for a lot of middle income americans by the end of this thing. They passed a tax hike today. Which if youve got a republican member of congress and you live in an affluent suburb of new jersey, or california, or new york, what is the point of electing a republican if your taxes are gonna go up . Seth yeah. Like why are you doing it . Seth yeah, theres not a lot that the Republican Party is crushing it on, other than that. That is a thing you elect your republican congressman to go to washington and prevent from happening. Seth so does this speak to the fact that even though we have a president who ran on this real populist message and spoke to a lot people that no one had addressed before. And you have to give him credit for at least knowing that there was that voting block out there. But it seems like this is a tax plan that is written by the donor class. It is 100 donorclass driven. And thats not even thats not me saying. Lindsey graham says were basically toast to the donors if we dont pass this. Chris collins, who is a congressman, said like, weve got to do this for the donors. Theyve been very much theyve been saying quiet part loud about what the motivation for this is. And it really is what one senator said to me was donor maintenance. Seth wow, thats not great. That doesnt sound like a great [ laughter ] donor maintenance sounds like, its like youre grooming a pet or something. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] you know what i mean . Seth or a donor goes in and you put him up like on hydraulics and have to look underneath. [ laughter ] so i want to talk obviously, we have, you know, wave after wave of these Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault allegations. And the situation today with senator franken. Now, it seemed like the Democratic Party reacted a lot quicker to say this is not okay. Senator franken himself said that he would go in front of an ethics committee. He issued an apology two apologies today, i think. Maybe realized the first apology wasnt strong enough, came out with another one. On the other side, you have roy moore, who is not apologizing. Certainly more accusers on that side, as well. Yep. Seth is there a difference in how the parties are dealing with these situations . Well, i think there is, although its hard to say, because getting any apples to apples comparisons are tough, right . What al franken is accused is alleged to have done, and i dont even say alleged in a kind of protective way, but basically i think probably did. Seth yeah. Certainly theres a photo, which is not helpful. Is is terrible behavior that he should be held to account for. And is unacceptable. Its in a different category than what appears to be an alleged habit of serially attempting to groom, cultivate, pursue and sexually assault teenage girls. Which is what roy moore is accused of doing. And so i think, like, its hard to say, well, which party is doing this okay, because theyre just different fact patterns. The fact of the matter is, the Republican Party in mass, nationally, has basically come to reject roy moore. Mitch mcconell said, i believe the women. Jeff sessions said, i believe the women. The state party is standing by him. And the president is totally absent. I mean, donald trump has opinions on everything from the hr policy at espn to the levels of sufficient gratitude from ucl basketball players. Seth right . [ laughter ] there is nothing this guy doesnt have an opinion about. Seth yeah. He sits on fox and friends and live tweets everything. Seth yeah. But on the question of whether the person credibly accused of serial Sexual Assault and molestation of teenage girls should be your partys nominee seth yeah. Is this do we think this is a case of whatever he says will lead immediately to a followup question of how it relates to the accusations against him. You know, it was so indicative to me they want to have nothing to do with this conversation today when they didnt take the bait on franken. Seth yeah. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is up at the podium, she gets asked a question about franken and she says, well theyve called for an ethics investigation. You know, we support that moving right along. And you can tell, usually that is a hit theyre happy to take. Seth right. Right . Like usually that is red meat from that podium. The fact that she just sort of shut that down and moved on suggests to me that they understand that what is happening societywide means that nothing got definitively litigated a year ago when between more than a dozen women came forward to say that donald trump had made unwanted sexual advances or sexually assaulted them. Seth and do you think that we have also moved on too quickly from those accusations or is it just that so much happens in the Trump Presidency that its impossible to keep things on the burner, so to speak . Thats a really good question. I think there is some degree to which we have moved on too quickly from them. I also think there is a connection, and this is not my insight. This is a lot of feminist writers who i admire and have been reading. That there is a connection between he essentially got away with it, and the moment were having now. The reckoning now. The tsunami. The crashing of all of these pentup secrets and rage and righteous indignation of what people women have had to bear. And not just women, men, too, as were learning in the case of kevin spacey and others, that that that is connected to what happened a year ago. That watching him watching that access Hollywood Tape come out, watching women come forward and say, he did this to me. And watching him call them liars. Watching him joke that they were too unattractive for him to want to go after. Threatening to sue them. And get away with it is what part of what has triggered the moment were in now. Seth you have talked about [ cheers and applause ] i agree. That we maybe have have done ourselves a disservice of adapting to how outrageous and shocking the news is every day. That weve lost our capacity to be shocked by it. You know, the incredible super power of human beings is that they can make things normal. Their adaptability. Right . Whats the species that can live in the amazon and the arctic. Right . And the reason is, were very good at just being, like, well, its cold all of the time. Were going to build an igloo and were going to hunt some whales. Were going to get through. And so because that is the human being super power, that is the essence in some ways of being a human, you adjust and acclimate to whatever situation you find yourself in. And so the president goes on twitter and says, i am in front of all of you, officially instructing my attorney general to open an investigation of my chief political rival. Like, no, you cant do that. Seth right. If you did that in secret and we found out about it, that might be impeachable. If barack obama did that, it would probably be impeachable. But because were sort of acclimated like, oh hes tweeting a tweeting again. [ light laughter ] seth yeah. Like he it is amazing in some ways what we are able to acclimate to. Seth well, the other thing thats amazing is it seems like its not just people who are critical of the president and sort of on the opposing side, it seems like people within the president s inner circle also say, hey, you cant listen to what he says or writes or does. [ light laughter ] like, thats thats not fair to take him at his word. Hes full of [ bleep ]. [ light laughter ] like, dont you think thats what theyre saying . It is so yes, in fact and i actually think my one of my theories about the man is that in some weird way, i think we think of him as avaricious and and ambitious and he wants to be powerful. I think its the opposite. I think what he actually wants is the trappings of the office, but he mostly wants to be a guy livetweeting fox friends. Seth yeah. I dont think he actually in a weird way, i dont think he wants the responsibility. Like he wants to be the guy at the bar that everyone has to listen to. Seth yeah. And i think he likes living in the oval office. But when its like, hey, sir weve got a tough decision to make here about what were doing in north korea. Its like, i would rather live tweet fox friends. you know what i mean . So its like, not only do his defenders say well, thats just him talking, in an own way, like he doesnt seem to care about what actually happens in the world. What he cares about is that the attention is on him. Seth so you think if we just let him like take the oval office and like remove it and like roll it to new york [ light laughter ] truman show it. Seth and he could do a podcast . [ light laughter ] yeah. If you gave if you gave donald trump a podcast, he would be so happy. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] and the world would be such a better place. Seth i would love it. [ laughter and applause ] i would listen to a donald trump podcast. [ cheers and applause ] a podcast seth all right. Well, i guess we just pitch it to him and see what happens. [ laughter ] sir, we need about 30 minutes of your time. Well be right in and out.
