Transcripts For CNNW Anderson Cooper 360 20171229

On the allegations against us. Still hasnt done since Election Night . Concede. Diane, what is in the new statement from the moore team. Whats not in there, official concession. I want to give you a little bit of a synopsis of what is in there. He says Election Fraud experts across the country have agreed this was fraudulent election. He then says ive stood for the truth about god and the constitution for the people of alabama. I have no regrets. To god be the glory. Clarification. Election experts across the country you have to assume he means the ones quoted in his lawsuit, one a notorious conspiracy theorist, jfk and dnc staffer murder theories. And the polygraph test that Roy Moore Says he took, he signed affidavit saying he took it and passed. Saying he didnt know those women and never had inappropriate sexual relationship with three of the accusers. Polygraph administrator didnt write or sign any of that in the lawsuit, at least what is included. All we have is roy moore signing affidavit that roy moore took the test and passed it. Still a lot of discrepancy in what roy moore has claimed. But it does appear at this point that, john, that roy moore is going to have to either accept that he lost the election or look at some of his very small options if he wants to continue. What are those options, diane . So the one that would probably suit him best right now would also probably bankrupt him. He has some time. 48 hours from the minute they certify the Election Results, to request a recount. Thing is, because he isnt within the half percent margin of victory, would have to pay for it on his own. Put a deposit down. Talking with the secretary of state, they cant tell you how much it would cost because of different parts. May want a smaller recount. But full statewide recount is seven figures and doesnt appear to be money that roy moore has in his fundraising right now. Lets find out what the moore team will now. Spokeswoman janet porter. Thanks for being with us. State of alabama certified the Election Results saying that doug jones won. Is it over . Thanks john. Good to be with you. Issue here were looking at is voter fraud. Interestingly. Democrat that brought the case talk about that in a second but just want to know what youre doing. Is election over . Im talking with you. Has roy moore conceded . No. I think you just read his statement. There are options. One im recommending, file and run against governor who certified this fraudulent election, candidates to run against the attorney general and who likewise joined together to ignore pages and certified the election. Far too many questions about it for the people of alabama. Will he file for recount in next 48 hours . Ill let the judge speak for himself. I do say this. What were talking about here is far bigger than a United States senate race. Were talking about whether or not the people of alabama have the right and privilege the duty to be able to have fair and free elections and make sure they not only can cast ballot but make sure its counted and they have assurance its counted properly. Thats what we dont have. Secretary of state certified the Election Results, judge threw out the lawsuit citing those 84 pages you provided there. Did not think they were worthy to order a halt to proceedings. What due process have you not been given at this point . Theres a few things that are problematic. One is they dismissed it i dont even know if the secretary of state read the evidence. Thats screaming from the pages of the complaint janet let me finish if i may. Its an argument citing four election experts, people you call election experts that a lot of people i know youre trying to say, maybe the guy got a c minus in spelling in fourth grade. He got four math degrees drk three. One said the holocaust didnt happen. By the way. Thats not true. Refer you to internet blog. Abe ham lincolns blog. He wasnt alive for the holocaust. One of yurt experts, tweeted theres an evil jewish shadow government in the u. S. Claims its preposterous to say hitler wanted to kill the jewish people. Dont believe you read. Did you have me on to talk or talk to me . Heres what we know about john condit, nearly 40 Years Experience in election machines and its made of up secret Computer Program in omaha, nebraska. You heard from the secretary of state. Hope you ask the question, if you dont keep the ballot images, why not . Thats what federal law arrows. Maintain that record. Democrats in state of alabama have said we want to preserve the evidence and images and secretary of state said no, we think we should destroy it. By the way, thats a federal crime that brings with it a sentence of five does it concern you that your election machine expert is a man who said theres an evil shadow jewish government . I dont believe its true. Does make you wonder ill tell you he didnt say that. We had him on the case. We submitted affidavit. He absolutely said that. I dont believe it. Sorry. And i want to say well post the video. I dont think youre going to find you know what i can tell you where i stand on that. I dont know much about election machines, but hard pressed to find anybody more pro israel. We have the tweet. Do we have it to put up . Evil jews in the jews shadow government must be highlighted even though of course jews, all jews are not in that. But it is what you know what youre not putting up on the screen oddly enough . 39 years of experience in election machines. Other three experts independent of each other, said that votes just in one county, jefferson, people say its racist pointing to jefferson county, but republican precincts where the votes were moved and they can prove it. Prove what. Im sorry . You said he can prove it. What . Prove that in one county, 20 precincts in one county votes moved from roy moore to doug jones. Not what he proved. Have you read the 84 pages . I have. And he doesnt begin to suggest hes proven that those votes were moved. What he suggests is its anomaly. Doesnt think that voting pattern could happen. He doesnt say he has proof the votes were changed. But tell you how much proof there is. If you read further what youll see is 1 in 15 billion chance that occurred naturally. In other words 1 in 15 billion mathematical chance that was not fraud. I think its proof. His argument essentially is beyond any reasonable doubt. He doesnt make that case. In front of me. Quote it for you. Got it here. His argument, too republicans didnt vote party line in this district. You dont think republicans had reason not to vote them . Interesting when you look across entire state, everybody follows a pattern in virtually every precinct except the certain areas republican with high voter turnout for roy moore and theres the pattern. Look at charts. All mapped out. See in the affidavit and research admitted. Something that secretary of state john merrill ignored. Reach a point and boom everything is off the charts. We talked to election expert. You cite four, one of whom is holocaust denier. We talked to duo. Expert on machines. You keep saying that but it doesnt bother you he says theres evil jewish government. Of course it bothers me. Only election machine expert you could find is one who said if i would have known this is a tweet, if it really happened, never would have suggested we use them. Also giving speeches and said that hitler didnt want to kill all the jews. Takes a google search, not extensive research. We worked christmas to put together all the facts, 84 pages of them to make sure this would be presented and not ignored. Unfortunately it was ignored. Its interesting, you all have this assassinate the character. Instead of looking at evidence, want to go after anybody who might have said something offthecuff or inappropriate and ill be first to say its completely inappropriate. Completely disagree with that. Doesnt make you think that maybe a guy who says that hitler didnt want to kill the jews maybe doesnt have facts right on other things . Lets throw out john condit. Forget about the voter machines and secret software and fact they destroy the evidence, doesnt bother you but i believe it bothers people of alabama. I believe will come out against the secretary of state and attorney general. You said he hopes he challenges kay ivy. Might be news. But i want to make clear, we have spoken to other experts. Loyola law school and mit, they analyzed returns and agree that any claims are totally unfounded. In regards to turnout anomalies the basis hang on. Told us to attribute those to fraud without further reliable evidence of actual longdoing is nothing more than magical reasoning and conspiracy theory. You all love labels. Favorite thing to do. Try character assassination. Somebody said something off the cuff. You keep saying that as if i didnt like his hair that day. He said the holocaust didnt happen. Thats a bad thing. But throw out 40 years of expertise in election machines and look at other three experts. Who have shown independent of each other by the way one a democrat who got involved in Election Integrity because he felt that Bernie Sanders was being cheated. This should matter to everyone. Its not about whether you like roy moore or doug jones or not. But whether we have fair and free elections. Secretary of state was on the wrong side certifying the election and destroying evidence of the vote. The ballot images. Bad thing no matter what party. 21,000 votes, were going to talk to made up for in one county by the way. Flipped whole election. After we talk to him, well ask if he destroyed evidence hes going to say machines dont really keep those. We have evidence in arizona with a lawsuit there that says they can take that evidence but federal law says youre supposed to keep all the election evidence. Hes destroying it, not saving it. Hes a guy that should be accountable for that. I think the people of alabama are going to challenge him in primary or special election. Ask you on the polygraph test. Judge moore signed affidavit. Will you provide the name of the provider . If there was a hearing, would have come out. If judge hardwick would have had a hearing, if john merrill paid attention, said yeah, present the evidence. Look at polygraph. Judge moore said not only succeed . Passing this test, no shock to me but we dont know what it is. He wont give us name. There was no hearing. If there was hearing, would have seen. What was he asked . What came out of it . Test results, he did not know any of these women who made allegations and didnt engage in sexual misconduct. We have an women who accused him. Not teenagers he may have been Family Friends with, but ones that made the allegations of sexual misconduct. We do have some sound. Play what we have. This is the interview with sean hannity, he talks about remembering at least one of the girls. Lets listen. I do recognize the names of two of the young ladies, Debbie Wesson and gloria thacker. Maiden names. I remember her as a good girl i i seem to remember her as a good girl. By the way they did not accuse him of sexual misconduct. What debbie had to say, said well he was one of the nicest guys i ever met. When i got engaged, roy moore bought a gift and congratulatory note for my fiance. Ive had lots of exboyfriends who never did that. Family friend. Thats what bears out. Is the reason for for including the polygraph, because he passed it, you wanted judge to throw out Election Results . John will you let me finish . I feel its important. You act like forged yearbook was holy grail. Thats evidence. Let me finish. He passed the polygraph test and said i will go before any polygraph that you as state organization choose. Go and be tested. Dont see that from accusers. Unfortunately running out of time. Will doug jones be the next senator from alabama . I think that may be the case. But i know that secretary of state john merrill, his days are limited. If the people of alabama want fair and free elections, i know at least people who dont like that he certified a fraudulent election according to 84 pages from experts around the country. Thanks for coming on and making your case, appreciate it. Secretary of state, he joins us next. Just ahead, new information about the truck that shielded our view of the president on the dpofl course, where we found it surprise you. And new tweet sure to spark controversy. Stay with us. Nothing works faster to make pain a distant memory. Advil liquigels and advil liquigels minis. What pain . Before the break you heard roy moores spokesperson throw a lot of allegations out there about Election Fraud, secretary of state. He looked at facts and certified that doug jones won there. Secretary of state john merrill. Just had janet porter on, said there was systemic fraud in the election. Did you see it . No, john. Weve had a number of allegations introduced to us, for us to consider, as of this afternoon, 118 had been introduced to our office. 85 fully adjudicated. Leaves remaining 33 to be considered. Two from out of state and 31 from our state. We continue to investigate those. She said youve destroyed evidence. Is that the case . Thats absolutely not the case. Farthest thing from the case. As matter of fact we keep the original ballots that people cast the vote on for a period of 22 months as required by state and federal law. As far as the digital images she continued to rattle on about, thing interesting to me, machines are not capturing those images. Not preserved and not available for review. Not captured, dont exist, and if they dont exist, cant use them. Not there for us to review or use. Jefferson county, keeps on saying that these anomalies there in voting patterns. Do you see anomalies that raise questions to you . Biggest to me was that judge moore lost by 83,000 votes in jefferson county. Jefferson county Republican Party made an effort to ensure that each and every polling site in the county was reviewed and noted with watchers and workers at each location to ensure that voter fraud did not occur. What actually happened according to them was historic numbers of turnout, democrats coming out of the woodwork to cast ballot for their candidate doug jones. Hop porter said she hopes roy moore runs against the governor and someone runs against you. Im sure she does. People of alabama will determine my political future and what kind of candidate if any qualifies against me and support theyll provide to it. This is the thing that needs to be known. Election integrity, we had one goal in the office when the campaign started, to ensure that integrity and credibility were at forefront of this election. I dont think theres anybody anywhere in the United States looked at this race with objective eye can say anything other than race with character, integrity and credibility occurred in state of alabama. Were very excited about that. When it comes to investigating voter fraud, had six convictions in the area since ive been secretary of state. Been more than a decade since one had occurred since we took office and had three elections overturned. We want everybody to vote in the state, just one time. Easy to vote, hard to cheat in alabama. Thanks for being with us. Appreciate it. Thanks for having me as your guest. The president golfs and tweets. And answer to mystery surrounding some of the golfing. The president made news today tweeting. And he played golf Third Straight day since tweeting it was time for him to get back to work. This time we caught it on camera, unlike yesterday when big white truck showed up moving when we did. Secret Service Office denied knowledge of it. And the office. Where we found truck like it parked today but we couldnt compare the license plates. Told us truck maneuver not authorized by manager of the detail of the sheriffs office. And wherever it was from and whoever authorized it, at government course in spot only Sheriffs Department vehicles had parked in previously. Not only president ial news. West palms, florida, warm, unlike where i am, which is not. Where the president made news. Reporter i should say its cooled off to a brisk 72 degrees in West Palm Beach and ocean air is a little bit chilly. Were finding a way to manage. The president tweeting in the east it could be the coldest new years eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our country but not other countries was going to pay trillions of dollars to protect against. Bundle up. White house didnt provide context but assume its talking about the United States decision to pull out of the paris climate accord. Not sure of the science of the tweet but this is the president again taking on a controversial issue through the twitter feed. Scientists will tell you thats not how Global Warming works. But that aside. North korea, what can you tell us about that. Reporter hes talking tough about chinas role as it relates to situation in north korea. Put out a strong missive against the chinese government, saying theyve been caught redhanded handing oil off to the north korean government. We dont know what prompted the tweet to president today. White house offering no information. There have been reports out of south korea, unconfirmed, north korean vessels and chinese vessels and what appears to be the transfer of oil. This shows that white house is going to continue to make this important part of the Foreign Policy into the new year and role that china plays will be important. Thanks so much. More from three reporters who cover the white house from new york times, Washington Post and politico. Josh, you posted a story on changes that could be coming to the white house. Long and short is political operation could be changing in face of the midterms. What do you know . Theres a lot of frustration inside the white house about the political operation after defeats in virginia and particularly alabama, stinging setback of having a democrat win in alabama. Sense they need more firepower for the election. President with low approval ratings. Republican party got significant tax reform passed but lacking accomplishment in the year and concerns about the seats they could lose. Chief of staff john kelly and others speaking about making changes ahead of pretty important and potentially problematic year for the white house. Everyone knows theres been a ton of departures from the w
