Or will republicans stand by him for the sake of passing their agenda. Were one on one with moores chief political strategist. On capitol hill, lawmakers taking action. We need to draw a line in the sand. Say none of it is okay. None of it is acceptable. Now, three days. Three resignations. Is this just the beginning . And can this mow many tum translate into lasting change . Plus, violence after trumps decision on jerusalem. President trump fulfilling a Campaign Promise and upsending decades of u. S. Foreign policy. So, how does this move help trump achieve what hes called, the ultimate deal. Peace between israelis and palestinians. From the white house to your house, we take on the moments that mattered this week. From abc news, its this week. Here now, coanchor martha raddatz. Good morning. After nearly two me too tidal wave, Time Magazine named the silence breakers those voices that launched a meemt its persons of the the year. This week, the consequences came to capitol hill. Now facing its own moment of reckoning. Congress nan john conyers, representative trent franks, and senator al franken all announ announcing their resignation this is week all over misconduct allegations. As the opinion many senator announced his deparathur churz, he took this departing shot. There is so 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 man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the senate with the full support of his party. Franken referring to Sexual Assault allegation President Trump. And Alabama Senate candidate roy moore. Accused of Sexual Misconduct with minors. But in spite of those allegations, moore has kept up his campaign. He now has the full support of the president heading into tuesdays election. All this testing the me too movement. And the soul of the republican party. Let me state wunts again, i do not know any of these women. Did not date any of these women. Have not engaged in any Sexual Misconduct with anyone. Reporter roy moore, accused of a range of inappropriate behaviors by eight women, including Leigh Corfman who says he kissed her and touched her imappropriately when she was 14 and he was 32. He touched me over my clothing. What was left of it and he um, tried to get me to touch him, as well. Reporter and Beverly Young nelson with her own account of an alleged assault when she was 16. Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me. And putting his hands on my breasts. I tried to open my car door to leave. But, he reached over, and he locked it so i could not get out. Reporter the gop establishment quickly condemned moore. And pulled its support. I believe the women, yes. If he cares about the values and people he claims to care about, then he should step aside. Reporter despite the galgss, he refused to leave the race. Ill quit standing when they lay me in that box and put me in the ground. Reporter just 12 gas after those reports first surfaced. A lifeline from the white house. I can tell you one thing for sure. We dont need a liberal person this there. A democrat. Jones. Reporter then a week ago. The Top Republican in the senate, Mitch Mcconnell, also reopening the door. You to believe that judge moore should be in the senate . I am going to let t reporter and by the middle of the week, moore was back in the good graces of some republicans. The rnc putting money behind moore. And the president delivering a full endorsement of his candidacy. How many people here are from the great state of alabama . [ cheers and applause ] whoa. So get out and vote for roy moore. Do it. Do it. Reporter and just yesterday. We learn pd Moores Campaign is set to run a robocall voiced by the president. His firmest step yet into the race. If this all sounds familiar, its because it spp last years access Hollywood Tape that revealing trump bragging about groping women threatened to derail the Trump Campaign weeks before the election. But after an initial outcry, the gop kept trump as its nominee. And he marched on to that historic election day upset. So will roy moore follow the trump playbook to victory on tuesday night . On december 12th, youll see an election that the world wont forget. Reporter so, if moore pulls out the win, will that saddle the gop with a senator under a cloud of controversy . Heading into 2018 . Joining me now, from alabama, is roy moores chief political skrat gist, dean young. Welcome to the week. Let me go right to the first question, how much do you think President Trumps support will help roy moore . Given he supported his primary opponent . Well, President Trumps support is very, very important for the people of alabama and this nation. You see, this is President Trumps agenda president thatss why its so important that judge moore win the race. Last night we had doug jones, the the liberal democrat, with one of his senate buddy, cory booker, who said the president should resign. So this is donald trump on trial in alabama. If the people of alabama vote for the liberal democrat, doug jones, then theyre voting against the president who they put in office at the highest level. So, its very important for donald trump and again, its ground zero for president donald trump. If they can beat him, they can beat his agenda. Because judge moore stands with donald trump and his agenda. Judge moore wants a wall. Wants to lower taxes. Wants a military that is strong. And thats who judge moore is. Our opponent, this democrat, doug jones, want the exact opposite. We havent seen roy moore we havent seen roy moore out on the campaign trail much this week. Why is that . Well, judge moore has been out for 25 years across alabama. And hes known by the people of alabama. Hes talked to the people of alabama. And theyre with judge moore. Thats why i believe if our vote out, and we will, judge moore will be the senator going the washington on december 12th and helping donald trump with his agenda. You have said of the accusations against judge moore, i have known him. Hes never ever said anything derogatory or sexual toward any person, any person, man, woman, ever. The kind of behavior hes accused of would not likely be in front of you or anyone else, would it . Well, what hes been accused of on friday, the lady, Gloria Allreds client was trotted out there again to tell the world, hey, i was misleading all yall. It needs to be clear. If the stories are falling apart. If she told you one thing weeks ago, now, right, two days ago, shes coming out with Gloria Allred and circus youre talking about Beverly Young nelson. Who alleged he groped her and prudes her neck in the late 1970s, when she was 16 years old. Shes been showing an inskripgs moofr made in her High School Yearbook before the alleged assault. It reads to a sweeter more beautiful girl i could not say herry christmas. Christmas 1977, love roy moore. And, miss nelson now says she put in d. A. After that. 122277. Old hickory house. The restaurant where she says they were. She has acknowledged she wrote that in there. But, does that mean the rest of sit a forgery . Well, lets just put it this way. Somebodys not telling the truth. And its not judge moore. Everybody in alabamas known judge moores been telling the truth the whole time. This is absolute proof that this woman went on tv, national tv, people, somebody from california, trying to influence the elections in bm. Went on tv and told the whole world that judge moore wrote all of that. Now shes coming back two, three days before the election saying, im wrong. He didnt write all of that. Somebody is not telling the truth. Its not judge moore. We believe hes been telling the truth the entire time. This received that hes been telling the truth. So where do you think this story came from . This original Washington Post story . You have eight people talking about some sort of inappropriate behavior or, flat out assault. Do you think these women all just made it up . The women in the Washington Post story didnt even know each other. Well, thats a good question. The people of alabama want to know why, 30 days before an election, that people would come out of the the woodwork and say, judge moore did this, judge moore did that. Im not sure why they did it. I dont believe them. The people of believe them. I guess one of them was on Time Magazine. One on your show on friday. In this world where everybody wants to bonn tv, maybe thats the reason. The most serious allegation is Leigh Corfman. She claims moore sexually assaulted her when she was 14 years old. She responded with this open letter. What you did to me when i was 14 years old should be revolting to every person of good moorls. Now youre attacking my honesty and begty. Where does it end . Im telling the truth. You should have the decency to admit it and apologize. So, you are calling Leigh Corfman a liar . Im saying Leigh Corfman is not telling the truth. Just like you just quoted her and said, we gotta believe her because she said it and w on friday. You said just because she said it, by the way, shes gt a piece of paper she says judge moore wrote on in her yearbook, you got believe her. Zero evidence. This fake narrative about judge moore that the people of alabama have been putting up with for three or four weeks is falling apard if front of yalls eyes. Hell be the next senator from alabama. Hell go up and help trump. And this democrat hes fighting is this democrats for asking trump to resign. So the people of alabama need to understand who theyre dealing with. I just want to say that, in your book, they have said if yearbook, they have said that received. And 30 other people backed up those eight women in the Washington Post story. I want to ask you, if judge moore were to win the senate seat and the senate initiated an ethics investigation, would roy moore testify under oath disputing the mcconnell and his crew have been threat. Ing judge moore from the get go. They spent 30 million down here trying to beat him in the primary. Judge moore will go the washington. Hes going the win. I highly doubt there will be a senate investigation. If there is, judge moor moore will be found telling the truth, just like he always has. He will win. And the stakes couldnt be higher for alabama. So alabamans, you need to understand, doug jones and his bunch want our president to resign. Judge moore wants to go up and help the president of the the United States achieve his agenda. To protect your gun rights. To build a wall. And to make America Great again. And judge moore is the man that will do it. I need you people in alabama not the fall for all the false allegations that just appeared three or four weeks ago. Okay. Thank you very much for joining us, mr. Young. Yes, maam. Thank you for having me. Representative terry sewell. The only democrat in the alabama congressional dellization. Shell be campaigning with doug jones later today. Congressman sewell. I want your reaction to dean young. He says moores accusers are lie yars. Your response . Listen, the people of alabama deserve a senator whose character and integrity and veracity wont be in question day one in the United States senate. And were working hard to make the case for doug jones. At the end of the day, theyre putting party before people. Party before principle. Theres no reason to doubt these women. Independent corroboration. Contemporaneous accounts. And able people who didnt know each other. At the end of the day when roy moore, if the he should win, goes to washington, well always be questioning his character. And i believe, a lawmakers part of it is that we have to work together. Across the aisle. In order the get things done. And theres only one candidate in this race who has earned the right to be the United States senator and thats doug jones. But, congresswoman i know hes been out there making the case. But tease are very serious accusations. Against roy moore. Why is this race even close . Listen, the state of alabama voted for this president by 28 points. The fact that were closed and narrowed into a statistical dead heat is really important. I believe that the people of alabama, this realize that this election is about the soul of the nation. And the soul of alabama. And, we who have been proud alabamans know that we have been trying the to overcome our painful past. And this this candidate, roy moore, will only take backwards. And harken us back to the days of segregation. Doug jones will take us forward. I believe the people of alabama understand somewhat at stake. And all the the strategists can keep saying is that only roy moore will be behind this president s agenda. Um, so, theyre putting party over principle. Party over the people. And i hope that the folks of alabama, i plooefr that the folks of alabama will see through this and choose to vote for the right candidate. Over, partisan politics. And congresswoman, i want to get your reaction to mailer that the Jones Campaign sent out to voters. Which says, think of a black man went after High School Girls anyone would try to make him a senator . Many view that mailer as racially insensitive. One africanamerican voter told a local news outlet he no longer plans to vote after receiving the ad, saying, for his campaign to put this flyer out sit a youre the only africanamerican representing alabama in congress. Was that a mistake . Well, listen. Ads dont, mailers dont vote. Its people who vote. And i really believe that the folks of alabama will see through all of this nonsense about roy moore. At the end of the day w was the mailer a mistake . I know people vote and mailers dont . Was it a mistake . Yeah. I dont think folks are concentrating on one piece of literature. We have to look at the evidence and facts to what doug jones is saying as to why hes the right candidate. One of those facts is doug jones position on abortion. Let me read what he said in september. Im a Firm Believer that a woman should have the right to choose what happens to her own body. Found that 58 of adults in alabama think aboring borgs should be illegal in all or most cases. Why should alabama voters vote for jones if they disagree with him on his stance on abortion . Because we should not be voting on just one issue. Look at the full body of issues from health care to education to the economy. We need someone in washington who will be an asset to the state of alabama and help us bring industry to alabama. And not a distraction. A National Distraction and a national embarrassment. I think the folks in alabama understand its not about a single issue. Its about all the issues that matter to Everyday Americans. We have tax reform bill that is being called a tax reform bill that is about to go up far vote that will not help middle class americans. Its a raw deal. Those are really, really important issues that a affecting Everyday Americans every day. Thank you very much, congresswoman sewell. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Coming up, well get the view on the ground from voters in alabama. Roy moore is not a miserable man. This man has more integrity than you can find in the entire congress right now.

You blame her. Shes 14. Im not blaming her. Im blaming both of them. So i didnt say that i thought he was without sin. Its possible he did it. But its possible that he could be forgiven for i dont think he raped her. Lets be real. It was a different world. 40 years ago in alabama, people could get married at 13 and 14 years old. My grandmother, at 13, was married. At 15, had two children. And a husband. And a job. If roy moore was guilty, if he was at the mall hitting on this 14yearold, 40 years ago in alabama, theres a lot of mamas and daddies that would be thrilled that their 14yearold was getting hit on by a district attorney. Is there that was republican pollster frank lunts with a focus group of republicans in birmingham for Vice News Tonight on hbo. Were going back to birmingham. Check back in with mat and Andrea Linden berg. The hosts of alabamas most listened to political radio program. Its syndicated throughout the state. Matt shlgs you heard those comments. Are those the kinds of things youre hearing throughout the state . No, martha. I mean, since these allegations came out, i do believe that it caused alabama voters concern. They did question some of the sourcing. Of some of the initial allegations. They wanted to find out, as close to the truthings as we could get. Unfortunately, none of us are going to know what truly happened 38 years ago. We have to waive that against the political consequences of sending something to washington, d. C. That does not represent the alabama values that vote for donald trump by a 21 margin. Andrea, this race received an enormous amount of national attention. What affect has that had on it . Youre talking about President Trump. You saw him come out for roy many people in washington, so many members of congress saying, roy moore should step down. We shouldnt vote for him. We in alabama were saying, let us as voters decide. I heard a shift in that about a week, week and a half ago, Mitch Mcconnell said were going to put this in the hands of alabama voter. Did Donald Trumps endorsement help roy moore . It didnt matter who endorsed him or not. Theyre voting for him either way. I dont know how big of an impact it had on the people that said, i cant vote for roy moore. Or im stage home there the polls. I dont know that it moved the needle that much. Matt, you said the voters of alabama needed more information from roy moore. You have touched on that a little bit. Basically, all they is gotten is him denying it. I think its concerning, rt directly. In a sitdown way to some of the allegations. Hes denied it, obviously, in a very confined way. Hes not answered questions about his activities, what or not he did date girls who were 17 or 18 years old. He sends out folks, like dean young. Who you had on the program earlier. Voters have to decide for themselves what they make of it. Perhaps its that judge moore dismisses the allegations out of hand. Maybe he doesnt want to you can that about some of the things he was doing back in gadsden in the 1970s and early 80s. Matt, you said yoi wont vote at all. Andrea, you said you may choose a writein. Are you hearing that from others . Yes, we are. We have heard people calling in to our show. Most people say theyre going to low in the state of alabama. Theyre expecting maybe 24 , 25 of registered voters to be at the polls. People who initially said i dont want to vote for roy moore, theyre looking at party policy and on principle, too. We brought up abortion. That is a factor in this. Many listeners have shifted to say i will be voting for roy moore. We have one, two women who have alleged actual crimes have taken place. One of them discredited herself bait without telling the full story. Thats beverly nelson. In the beginning, when this broke, some were hesitant. Theyre saying, ill vote for the republican. Well deal with it for the next lex cycle. Judge moore not about controversy. Never has been. Hes a known figure. Sometimes we make decisions based on the the past history not the present controversy. Thank you both very much. Up roundtable takes on the Alabama Senate race. Plus, will President Trumps Jerusalem Move help or hurt the mideast Peace Process . Well be right back. The same.

Susan glasser, politicos chief International Affairs columnist. And host of the bloebl politico podcast. And we welcome joshua johnson. Host of 1a. Welcome, everybody. And dan balz, im going to start with you. Its all we have talk about all morning. Were going to keep talking about it. Roy moore, two days away. What are his chances . Probably pretty good. Its a very red state. The degree to which tribal allegiance has outweighed everything else. You would have to say he has some advantage. Hes candidate. Theres a real effort to try to turn out democratic vote. We dont know how enthusiastic or unenthusiast tick base might be. Theres a loft conflicted people. Im not in the prediction business. If roy moore, if everything guys according to pattern, roy moore probable has some advantage. And jennifer, we saw President Trump cam paining about miles from alabama. Hell do those robocalls today. Why didnt he just go into alabama . Its still a controversy thing. Within the white house. Early on, some of his closest aides advised him to keep his distance. They were saying, listen, we dont know what information is going to come out yet. We dont know how the alabama voters are going the react. The talking point sho be, its up to the voters of you had chief of staff john kelly saying, lets just stay away there this at this point. You had other adviser saying, go ahead, give a fullthroated endorsement. Which he has. Now the race has stabilized somewhat. Some advise rrs saying this guy has great instincts. Hes in touch with his base. Hes right to come out and support roy moore. Others in the white house are still saying, were uncomfortable with you cozying up to roy moore. And joshua, doug jones. The democrat in the race. Is reaching out to africanamerican voters. Have they done noenough . Can they rally the vote . That remains to be seen. That mailer was right on the line. Right down to the smirk on the guys face, like, really, do you think they wouldnt arrest me . It was right up to that line. I dont know if the africanamerican vote in alabama over the line. It depends on how much africanamericans are mobilized. Any difference in get lg them out or saying i dont like that . Both. Particularly in showing. Pi feel like the evangelical christians have a very strong m impetus to show up. Im more interested to see what happens with them. Particularly with the issues important to them in 2017. And whether this affects the way they view themselves as voters and christians. You could do a cigment on that this week. What is your feeling . The segment is coming out tomorrow. I cant stop thinking about the book from the verse of mark. What does it profit man to gain the world and lose his soul . There have been a lot of important issues to evangelical this is year. The johnson amendment. Naming jerusalem as the capital. Or joel osteen not opening the church urge to harvey victims. I wonder at what point, a reckoning comes, if any, where evangelical christians say, we may be get whog we want the congress. Is god pleased with our sacrifice . Is this who we are supposed to be . Is this who we are . Susan, you have been watching this closely. The president says the last thing the make America Great agenda feeds is a liberal in the senate. If roy moore is elected, does he become a real headache for republicans . Hes not going to be very welcomed by his Republican Senate colleagues never mind the Democrat Senate colleagues. Mitch mcconnell has made that clear. I want to go back to the point about President Trump. I do think that he will own it and, you know, crow about this as a great if moore wins. That hes gone all in despite the advice of the advisers. You have steve bannon, who remains close to trump, came paining directly for roy moore. Inserts himself into the race in a way that suggests the fissure inside the. Party. T the republicans are suggesting an ethics investigation. It would be a big mess either way, as the great dan balz wrote in his column. The deep red state. Richard shelby out this norng, saying that he would think that alabama should do better than roy moore. Thats quite unusual for a sitting senator of your same party to be attacking him. Dan, i want to end with you. Al franken resigned this week. Did that h it seems in the current climate it did have to happen. I suspect over time, there will be some revisiting of kind of whats the nature of the penalties that should the applied to different Kirsten Gillibrand said none of it is acceptable. Right. Were now in a climate where that is the case. People in alabama will reach a different conclusion perhaps on tuesday. Well take a look at the president s nearly 90minute Campaign Rally friday night.

The trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital continue this is morning. As violent protests broke out in front of the u. S. Embassy in lebanon. The issue is being used as rallying call across the muslim world. More demonstrations are expected in the coming days. Abcs James Longman is on the ground in the thick of it with the very latest. Reporter overnight, across the region from beirut to jakarta, rallying cry for angry protesters. And earlier, tear gas and rubber bullets near the site where jesus was born. This, not long after President Trump announced the u. S. Would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and vowed to move the embassy there. In gaza, where fury at the president burned, israeli air strikes hit weapons sites. You cant give something does not belong to him. Theres no peace in the world if there is no peace in jer us are liam. Reporter on friday, the the u. S. Defend lg its decision. The United States will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israelis and palestinians fairly. And James Longman joins us now. Jamtz, i know youre there in the west bank. Behind you, some protesters. What do you think well see in the coming days . Reporter well, martha, more of the same. I dont know if you can see. But there have just been a huge volley of tear gas shot over from Israeli Security forces as these groups of young men approach. Its been like this in bethlehem, ramallah, the west bank. This is a rallying cry. We havent seen the mass protests some people expected. Maybe because palestinians feel a bit nevertheless, tensions running high. And whats the reaction of the israelis you have talked to . Reporter well, ause might imagine, the the Israeli Government is very supportive of this move. Speaking to people in west j jerusal jerusalem, theyre action is simple. They believe jerusalem is their capital. The government buildings are here. The knesset is here. They thing its a realistic announcement to make. Its not lost on them that donald trump made the speech to placate his base. Broadly speaking, israelis are happy. People on the left here are slightly concern it might have a negative impact on negotiations. More on that. What do you think well see in terms of any kind of Peace Initiative . Reporter well, the Palestinian Authority president , Mahmoud Abbas called the speech totally ruins the u. S. Position as a neutral broker, the if you like. That goes to the heart of this entire Peace Process. The United States has been a neutral broker. To be able to get two sides around the table. And the Palestinian Foreign minister says he believes donald trump has kicked aside. Theres going to need to be a Peace Initiative. What role the United States has in it, is now in the balance. Thank you, james. Stay safe. And joining me now is the top democrat on the Senate Foreign relations committee, senator ben carton of maryland. Good morning, senator. I know you support President Trumps proclamation. You just saw James Longman there talk about the Peace Process. You saw those demonstrations. How is this good for Peace Process. First, martha, good to be with you. Are slem the capital of israel. In 1995, congress enacted a statute that said the same. The announcement itself is not ig that is news. The president should have done it in the right diplomatic way. There, he did not. It shoul have been done in way to add vance the Peace Process for a twostate solution. Instead, the president made the announcement. Didnt take advantage of that in regards to the israelis. And taufrd the palestinians very little. I think it was a mistake. The manner in which he did it. Jerusalem is the capital of israel. He overturned decades and decades of u. S. Foreign policy. Other president s said they want to do that. Hes the only one who has. So now what . I have talked to many of the players in the middle east. I think they knew this day was coming. I dont think it was a surprise. I think what is the surprise is the manner in which the he did not really open gauge all the players. As far as trying to move forward on the Peace Process. A country determines its own capital. Israel determined that jerusalem is the capital. Its where the government facilities are located. Its the facts on the ground. Turkeys president says it is like throwing the region into a ring of fire. Jordans king says it will provoke muslims and christians alike. Our european allies are worried. Others saying it will send us back to darker times than the ones we are already living in. What would you say to them . You dont like way President Trump did this. What do you do to fix it . Well, martha, we have seen this in so many places in the world. Where mr. Trump has no appreciation for dip loam spip we see it in the budg. With the state departments budget. Personnel decision being made. The president is damage lg Americas National security and standing in the world with his inability to use diplomacy in the right way. There was a right way of doing this. And the president , to date, has not shown his understanding of the the importance of diplomacy. I want to move back home to clim capitol hill. To your colleague senator franking who stepped down. After more than 30 Democratic Senators called for his resignation. You were not one of them. Why not . I let senator franken make his own descisiondecision. It was clear as he pointed out, he could not defend himself and represent the people of minnesota in the manner of which they were entitled. He made his own decision. I think it was the right decision. Moving forward, its clear that this type of appropriate. We now have a chance, i hope the people of alabama will speak with a clear voice, that a person like mr. Moore has no place in the United States senate. The republicans were speaking that language before the last cup of weeks now it look like are more concerned about having a vote in the Senate Rather than who occupies that seat. Soy hope that the American People understand that this type of behavior will not be allowed. Quickly. If roy moore wins, should there be an ethics investigation . Do you trust that process in congress . Well, you know, clearly, the Ethics Committee is the place in which we make our decisions as to qualifications for people. Staying in the senate. And for any penalties that may be imposed. I hope we dont have to reach that point. I hope the people of alabama on tuesday will do the right thing and reject mr. Moore and what he stands for. Theres a new quinnipiac poll out this week that says americans say congress should investigate Sexual Harassment allegations against President Trump. Do you agree . Theres a limit as to what the congress can do in investigating a president s conduct. Most of it falls under the impeachment clause. Theres Major Concerns expressed by many of us as to the behavior of President Trump. And including the episodes involving the tapes that we have heard during the campaign. So, theres clearly concerns that we have. The American People, of course, heard that and elected him president of the United States. I think the important thing moving forward is to make sure that the President Trump that we have accountability for actions in office. Thank you very much for joining us this morning senator. Thank you. Ill be right back with the roundtable in just one minute. Continues to threaten medicare Advisory Board with funding cuts that will harm millions of seniors. These arbitrary cuts will restrict Patient Access to doctors and the essential treatments they need. Nearly 800 groups representing seniors, doctors, and americans with disabilities have called on congress to repeal this misguided law. Call your senators today. Urge them to finish the job. Repeal the ipab to protect Medicare Beneficiaries before its too late. And were back roundtable. Susan, turn to you. Just after listening to senator cardin. Is there any way to reignite any Peace Process, such as it was before . There hasnt been a Peace Process. I think President Trumps promise to make the ultimate deal on peace is not going happen sooner because of this weeks decision. He charged his soninlaw, Jared Kushner with making this deal. The question is though the Vice President is going over. Maybe he undercut his soninlaw. It lengthening the timetable. Vice president pence is going the region this week. That will be an early test for just how bad the reaction is. Right now, its not clear that Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority would meet with the Vice President. He would cancel, i would imagine. It underscores important realities that trump faces. Obstacles to his ultat has pulled pack in some ways from the leadership role. You see putin this week in the region in egypt. You see emmanuel macron, the french president. The passage theyre trying to send is clear. If the United States is not going to lead in the middle east, we are. And others will step in. This is important for people in the u. S. To ups. Does trump have anybody to make a deal with . The smartest israel watchers that i know say listen, i dont think Benjamin Netanyahu or Mahmoud Abbas has the political strength to be able to do something that is tough. To make a breakthrough fop make concessions. The kind of deal you need to make. On the american side, you have to look at the this and wonder, how smart is donald trump being as a dealmaker that he likes to portray himself as to give away this concession without gaining anytng ultimate deal. i want to move back to the speech in pensacola. We saw the rally. Heard what he said about roy moore. Lets play one of the president s biggest applause lines from the event. My job is not to be president of the world. My job is to be president of the United States of america. Yet there are powerful forces in washington trying to sabotage our movement. These are bad people. These are very, very pad and evil people. They will lie and leak and smear because they dont want to accept the results of an election where we won by a landslide. So, jennifer, why is he still on that topic . The white house said that they wanted to, um, test some of the themes for 2018. At this rally. So, you notice that some of the biggest applause lines wer trump talked about the fake news. He likes to stress the idea oh, he like that one. That the media is part of the left and the propaganda of the left. The biggest cheers were at the mention of the national anthem. Any mention of the military. Those were the biggest applause lines according to my coworker who was in the room. He did stay away from some of the more inplam toir racebased, racial relations comments hes made this the past, such as both sides in charlessville. Dan, what was your reaction . It was a classic donald Trump Campaign rally speech. Like 2016. We have seen when he went out into the country during his presidency. He feeds off those crowds. He tests lines in an audience like that. As we know, he exaggerates mightily on things. I was struck again when he talk about winning in a landslide. He did lose the popular vote. College. The College Numbers were well below those of president s reagan, president clinton. President george h. W. Bush shlgs et cetera. He has this desire to feed his base and he does it extraordinarily well when hes in front of them. He did have some positive news on the economy. On jobs. There was positive news. The jobless rate is 4. 1 . We added jobs last month. The dow jones hit another record. That is good news. But, basically, this is kind of a version of the speech the president always gives pi wasnt really shocked. I keep going back to the maya angelo quote, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. The this is the kind of speech we know the president likes the to give. I want to brupt you. We have a few seconds. The New York Times kts story talking about what is going inside the white house. Has the presidency changed the white house . Or has donald trump changed the presidency . Yes. And. Its also changed the body politic. Ill be interested to see how steadfastly donald trump is able to remain the same person in 2020 that he was in 2016 and convince his pace to keep him in that position. Thats the real question. And very quickly on that story. John kelly, still have a lot of influence in the bhous . Yes. Absolutely. It says donald trump craves the attention. He tries to be subtle. Do it in way that the president doesnt people like hes been micro managed. Thats all we have for today. Thanks for sharing part of your sunday with us. Check out world news tonight. Have great day.
