allegations deeply detailed reporting from beth and others, thank you so much, again, journalism, for exposing this conduct, and we have a president who fails to comment on it and we have a republican party who cannot get a candidate like this. a candidate who held views which are an anthima to a humage partf the public. this is where we re at with the republican party in 2017. that s exactly it, because so many of my fellow conservatives have been living in an echo chamber and they ve persuaded themselves that anything that s published in the washington post, the new york times, mainstream media, on nbc, is fake, it s almost ipso facto fake. they ve built guardrails for themselves against what the rest of us call reality. and as the movie has it, reality bites. many say, is that exactly how we
businesses on their owe taxes. but when we talked to him last night, he was still marginally optimistic he would get to a yes vote if these concerns are dealt with. take a listen. i wouldn t vote for this senate version. bottom line. there s a real problem here. i m assuming we ll be able to get to it. i think there is a very solvable problem. we need a dedication to solve it. so an optimistic ron johnson. he also raised some concerns about the health care bills before ultimately voting in favor. so one more kind of wrench in the works here for senate republican leaders and they do not have a lot of margin to play with, stephanie. i want to bring in professor of law and public policy at nyu and former deputy director at the white house national economic counsel little la backholder and senior fellow at the union, mad ydy dexler. putting trickle economics aside, why is the gop tax reform plan good for the middle and working
saying they re sticking by him. of course, this comes as a number of women alleging encounters or advances from moore has risen to nine. moore s campaign has said the allegations are false and that he s innocent of any wrongdoing. joining me now is a self-proclaimed christian conservative and ceo of the now television network, also a member of president trump s faith advisory counsel. let s just start with the obvious, do you agree with roy moore when he says all these charges are false? well, you know, i think it s a very dangerous slippery slope. first of all, thanks for having me on. i think it s a dangerous slippery slope when we just allow things that can be considered suspicious for 40-year-old allegations to come up after roy moore has become the nominee, republican nominee for u.s. senate. i think we really have to be very careful. those allegations are extremely
as disgusting as that is to say. just one word on this, there is a right thing to do here. we all know the right thing for the president to do here is to get up and denounce this conduct full stop end of story. we still have norms in politics in 2016. that s what he should do. during the commercial break, i m going to play the access hollywood tape for megan again just to remind her that s not normal. we ll be speaking to a pastor cho still supports the senate candidate even after these latest allegations against him. next, we re going to go to capitol hill hours before the tax votes on a tax reform bill. president trump visiting lawmakers to drum up support. even if the bill passes in the house, will senate republicans have the votes to pass their own version?
roy moore asked her out, she said, do you know how old i am, and he said, yeah, i go out with girls your age all the time. now, we re hearing these stories over and over. yet roy moore s camp is going to say where s the evidence? well, roy moore s camp has only specifically asked for one piece of evidence and what we heard yesterday in a bizarre press conference was release the yearbook. that s where we re at with this debate. it isn t even really a debate. there s no question there s a pattern of conduct that s been established. both senior gop leaders have admitted there s a pattern of conduct. here s where i want to take this. you now have a situation where we have so little control over the party that the republican party cannot essentially get this get him to step out of the race. where the president, given his own personal conduct, has not even addressed this issue, has not stepped forward and weighed in now on what is nine women who have come forward with credible
