greatest represented democracy in human history and that s us and happy halloween. and that s hardball for now. all in with chris hayes starts right now. tonight on all in why in the world the fbi would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of any wrongdoing with just days to go. fbi director james comey under fire. ten days to go? i think it s disgraceful. criticism coming from across the political spectrum. i think this is probably not the right thing for comey to do. but is the fbi decision actually impacting voters? we ll breakdown the state of the race with over 23 million votes already cast. jew usa!rom lock her up to jew sa! if in a donald trump
close to the election. a second source later confirmed that same story to the huffington post. now, this all comes as comey faces growing backlash for his decision three days ago to announce the bureau had discovered a new trove of e-mails belonging to top clinton aide huma abedin discovered du
we will hear from the girl and her mom this morning at 7:20 eastern. eric holder is making new announcements. is he adding fuel to the fire? log on for his debate. fox & friends starts now. bye. good morning. it is tuesday, december 2. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. it was a meeting of the protesting minds. president obama holding discussions on the ferguson fallout at the white house all while launching a plan to retrain cops on the taxpayers dime. that s you. is this really the answer? we report, you decide. why is al sharpton there? meanwhile the president threatens to shut down the federal government if republicans the bad guys do not fund his amnesty action. but how much will that cost us? we re crunching the numbers straight ahead. moses an inspirational icon in nearly every major faith but hollywood actor

revealing anything privileged tomorrow or wednesday. and then spicer was deflecting on russia s role by arguing that maybe election interference is more of an issue for hillary clinton than vladimir putin. why aren t we talking about the influence other influences on the election? why aren t we talking about hillary clinton getting debate questions ahead of time? that s a valid attempt to influence an election. spicer is citing an e-mail there that showed a democratic operative on cnn appear to share debate questions in advance with clinton, an e-mail revealed by the underlying russian hack. now trump s aides would apparently prefer to take shots at hillary clinton than address the foreign policy dilemmas they re facing right now. it s easy to see why. it s pretty easy to blame your competitor for everything. that is, of course, what 2016 was a about. but 2016s over. this is 2017. it s not a test. it s about to get much more difficult for donald trump. joining me now former cia
increasingly under scrutiny for his past statements on islam and other issues, stephen bannon whospower is writing within the new white house, andrea mitchell reports. reporter: he s at the president s side at nearly every photo op. chief white house strategist steve bannon aside from the family, first among equals in president trump s power circle. what bannon wants? nothing short of a revolution. a pop lift revolution in the united states. republican in name but trump in style. reporter: his influence stretching from politics to foreign policy. now on the national security council principles committee. he s got a tremendous understanding of the world and the geopolitical landscape. surprisingly a retired
general who served both president bush and obama. how unusual is it that steve bannon has a seat at the table? i think it s unprecedented. bannon described as brilliant but his power alarming critics. his warning to the media to keep its mouth shut. that extreme ve
casualties. there has, in fact, been a surge in reported civilian casualties in the u.s. air campaign against the so-called islamic state. and under trump, a massive increase in u.s. drone strikes, more broadly, almost one every two days according to the council on u.s. foreign relations. today, tragically, marked the third time this month a u.s.-led air strike may have killed civilians or even our allies, with 18 syrian fighters alied with the u.s. killed in a coalition air strike in syria. the pentagon blamed partner forces. that news comes on the heels of last week s air strike in syria and now today the decision to launch the mother of all bombs. and we are just 84 days into the trump administration. i m joined by steve schmidt larry corb. larry, i m going to go to you first because there is a very strange donald trump relationship to the military. he claimed during the came papa

every single president and every single vice president has been audited by the irs every year of their time in office. and they all still routinely release their tax returns to the public every year so that excuse from trump and the trump campaign never made sense. being under audit is excuse for not releasing your tax returns as a candidate or certainly as president. also, the audit excuse never made sense for his past tax returns. even if donald trump wanted to release nothing under current audit, well, what about years for which the audits are completed and closed? any year of his taxes before, say, 2008, any year that was audited before then, those years presumably would be done being audited by now. those would be closed. so why not release those earlier tax returns even if you don t want to release the current ones for which there isn t an excuse not to do anyway? whether or not you are a supporter of donald trump in
general, whether or not you care what s in his tax returns,
tonight, infighting and the white house. anthony scaramucci goes to war against leaking on his first week on the job. kellyanne conway is here with reaction. but mike emanuel is alive on the battle over obamacare. mike, aren t they usually on vacation by now? pretty close. a good evening you, sean. we do have some breaking news. mitch mcconnell has just posted the details of the republican health care plan that say a skinny repeal plan, getting rid of the popular parts of the obamacare, four g.o.p. senators came out late saying that there would be unknow on the so-called skinny repeal plan. john mccain, lindsey graham, ron johnson and bill cassidy wanted a severances from paul ryan that it would go to conference to hammer out a more comprehensive plan.
conference if that s what those senators wanted but he said basically, the senate would have to take up the bill that came out of the conference first. he didn t want his numbers taking all the tough votes and the senator sitting ba
wrongdoing by president obama contradicting president trump s allegations that susan rice broke the law. plus, more info about the investigation into trump team connections to russia. details about surveillance warrants against one of the president s campaign managers and why the fbi thought that adviser could be acting as a foreign agent. plus, it s the first rule of politics. don t compare anybody to hitler. i guess nobody told sean spicer. we didn t use chemical weapons in world war ii. you know? you had a you know, someone when s despicable as hitler who didn t sink to the to using chemical weapons. we ve got the latest on the attempts to clean that up and whether that will be enough for president trump. we want do get started with the breaking news on the trump administration charges of improper surveillance by the obama administration.
cnn is learning now about the claims of chairman devin nunes that members of the obama administration improperly requested the identiti
deplorables moment. you look at donald trump and particularly at working poor white vote, and people who probably have the most to lose from him, very strongly voted in his direction. now do you explain the difference between those times of outcomes you are describing. how people can intelligently perceive their ownself-interests and the way people their own self-interests. part of this is a stew of racists. jesse: insulting half the country is un-american. half tn forbid hill heaven foar heaven forbid hillary lot because of her policies. ironic that a woman who lied about her race claiming she is native american to get into harvard is calling millions of
broadcast coverage of trump has been 89% negative. in contrast 8 years ago in the coverage of president trump of president obama s first 100 days. one of the men fighting back is dadan scovino. when the media is not telling the truth regarding president trump and the administration, the steam, all the infighting going on
that they know bad things about him. good reason to keep really really really good files. you never no who will end up being president of the large western country. adam davidson, reporter for the new yorker. now time for last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening. good evening, rachel. boy am i glad i ve never done business in russia. doesn t that all sound obvious when you hear it that of course it would work that way. well and the fact the thing i have learned from adam davidson s reporting at the new yorker is you don t have to be perfect but you do have to look to see if you are really obviously doing dirty business with people who everybody knows are dirty. and it doesn t matter if that s okay in their country. it is not okay in the united
states if you re an american company or american businessman doing that. just willful refusal to look and recognize dirt you are wallowing in, that s enough to get nailed in this country under our lawes. and it is absolutely n
