democratic. bill brit, and john hammondtry, sorry about the snafu about that sound byte. that was richard holidayistson, join chiefs of staff. thank you for joining us. we ll be right back. so that s the idea. what do you think? hate to play devil s advocate but. i kind of feel like it s a game changer. i wouldn t go that far. are you there? he s probably on mute. yeah. gary won t like it. why? because he s gary.

asians as reds and yellow . he saidis laum is contrary to the u.s. institution and claimed the u.s. was better without the last 17 amendments, one of which ended slavery. another gave women the right to vote. bill brit is host of the voice of alabama politics, and joe hammondtry is the managing producer of reckon. thank you for joining us. bill, roy moore has a history in that said said. i listed controversial singes thing he said in the past, controversial beliefs he still holds today. do they make a difference to voters down there? i think they do. i think they have always made a difference. roy moore has always been a fire brand. he is his own brand of republican. but there are about 30% of the republican base, maybe 35%, agree with him. and there are a lot of alabamians that in their private and personal life do feel
leading up with i m sorry. that was the wrong sound byte. that was bug jones being interviewed by the same girl that wasn t doug jones. that was somebody else, the girl interviewing somebody else. bill, roy moore is talking about christianity, religious values, john, excuse me, he is talking about abortion. is that going to be the key issue. abortion is a factor. but as far as family and christian values i don t know. i grew up in alabama. my parents both went to church of christ baptist. i grew up going to a baptist church and those aren t my values. i don t think those are the values of a lot of other alabamians. the idea that he is projecting a lot of this on the rest of the state. i think that s why you are seeing pushback including young voters showing up in droves to the polls.
that s just turning that city around. i mean we have some great leaders coming out of the south. they just didn t get the shot because they didn t want to take it against probably losing no one knew this was coming. bill brit thanks very much. more from our own political panel process jack kingston, terra appear the fact that one of the accusers admitted to altering the year book entry she said he signed process adding the date and location where he signed it. how damaging do you think is that to her credibility if you think it is. well i think it just gives fuel for the roy moore supporters and those a that scream fake news. it s it s part of the echo chamber of people down there. i don t think it s going to change. those who were already suspicious of roy moore. it emboldens those who were behind him it doesn t change the content of the message or that he signed the year book, signed it love roy.
when leigh spoke out she realized it was time for her to speak out. back with bill brit. bill, at this point in alabama, look the election is on tuesday. do you think people s minds are made up no matter who at this point this woman an old friend of leigh corfman, no matter who comes forward. i think at this point you re probably right. minds are fairly set. one more corroboration, you know i think it helps those who are sitting on the fence. it may help them make a decision. but i think at this point the die is cast. we ll know sometime around probably 9:00 your time what s going to happen to the state of alabama and to roy moore and doug jones. you know, polls obviously show it s close. as we know in polls and sometimes where there is controversial candidates people don t want to say if they are voting for that person. do you think do you think do you think it s as close as it looks? or do you think roy moore is has good lead?
