The crash is the latest in a string of deadly accidents for the u. S. 7th fleet. Barbara starr is live with all the breaking details. Whats happening, barbara . Reporter good morning, be alisyn. As you say, a lot this hour, u. S. And Japanese Forces are continuing their Search And Rescue mission 500 miles southeast of okinawa in the philippines sea. A u. S. Navy c2, small passenger plane, was making its way to the deck of the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, where it was scheduled to land. Something went terribly wrong and it crashed. We know in a state just a short time ago, eight people, 8 of the 11 have been rescued, taken to the Ronald Reagan said to be in good condition. The Search And Rescue now continuing for the other three of course. This has been a difficult year for the u. S. Navy. Lavar is just a poor mans version of don king but without the hair. Just think, lavar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during thanksgiving with your son in china but no nba contract to support you. But remember, lavar, shop lifting is not a little thing. Its a really big deal, especially in china. You can do this part tkpwhrfplt thank y. Thank you. Ungrateful fool you say that to me all the time. You miss it on that one. Thank you. Im going to move on to the next tweet. The president tweeted about the nfl and the National Anthem controversy. The nfl is now thinking about a new idea, keeping teams in the locker room during the National Anthem next season. That is almost as bad as kneeling. When will the highly paid commissioner finally get tough and smart . This issue is killing your league. Do we think the extension of
twice as long tweets that helped america . Its helped us. Now we know more about what is on the mind of the president. Joining us now to discuss, cnn commentator errol lewis, cnn analyst david drucker. Good to have you back. Were thankful for you, as we get closer to thanksgiving. Thank you for making the show better. Maybe he doesnt know about the navy plane going on. We always suspect the Commander In Chief knows about these things before we do. But he aint tweeting about it if he does. Hes talking about lavar bar. We know hes on vacation. He gets bored, all the speculation. Why would he do this . This is something donald trump has used to great effect throughout his political career. Lets go all the way back to birtherism. He has an instinct, a gut instinct for finding racially divisive figures and themes that he can use to political effect to help divide the country, to
someplace, have them all fired. This is, again when there is a racial ting for it, the president goes for it instinctively to try too attack and divide. It is the president s politics. You hear the dog whistle or whatever you want to call it. Don king without the hair . What else is that . Don king was a donald trump supporter, by the way. David, what do you think is happening here . Hes on vacation. So is that means hes not being as supervisored at this hour and he can be launching on twitter . Or he doesnt have as much coming at him. You have people coming in, youre getting briefed. Nothing has really changed. The president likes to have a foil. But i think what this does for him is allow him to create an enemy that keeps his voters tied to him. I think thats the usefulness. Part of it is the president likes to spar with people. And the president likes a little chaos around him. That i think is how he is most comfortable. Which i say based on watching him perfect as a president and candidate. But i think the Political Part of it, and errol is right in that he has a keen sense for what drives many voters on the right, particularly trump voters. But what this does in a way is saying whether its lavar ball, whether its the nfl, theyre not really its not that they are against the National Anthem or the flag. Theyre against you. Because the flag represents you. You stand fort National Anthem. You would never dream of kneeling during the National Anthem. So what these players are really doing and what lavar is doing, who is a goof in and of himself and thats a separate issue, is standing against you. In doing that, trump is able to drive a cultural tension that worked for him in 2016. It actually helped him become the republican nominee and win the presidency. The question is will it help him win in 2020 . Will it help his party win in 2018 . He is charged constitutionally and through voter mandate with being the president of everybody. And i have to say whats troubling about the nfl controversy, and i can understand very well why people might be upset with this protest which the players are using the national app them to make a point, is the idea that an elected official of the federal government is laying down federal patriotism standards. Because everybody in america has the right to do whatever they want in regard to this. And politicians have the right to speak out. And weve seen laws proposed to ban flag burning. But the idea that a politician is going to tell people what is acceptable, that is what is concerning. If hes telling people what they want to hear, what does that tell us about the rest of us. It all comes down to leadership. Lavar has been uniquely
effective in getting under the president s skin. We will remind you what happened with lavar ball on cnns air that clearly motivated the president. He is clearly referencing what happened in the interview we did. Heres your reminder. I have to know what somebody is doing before i say thank you. Im not just going around saying thank you. You come and shake new hand and meet me or my son or anybody and say maybe i can help you out. Lets do it that way. Just because people say things, you know, its supposed to be true. Hey, i stopped them from saving 10 years. Maybe we were doing some talking with some other people before you even got there. The president , errol hates, obviously, by every indication, that lavar Ball Wont Say thank you and keeps poking at the idea that he didnt do anything to get people out of china. He didnt do what people think he did. This is true. And you know hes playing a game. Lavar ball is kind of doing a trump to trump. He knows if you criticize this man, he will respond is. This is one of the remarkable things about the president of the United States. Everybody from foreign dictators to some guy trying to sell Athletic Shoes can figure out how to sort of manipulate him, poke him, sort of goat him and how to get some kind of a rise out of him. Its a shame that while President Trump lets take him at his word, did the right thing and helped these kids get out of a really sticky situation, one wishes he had done that for Political Prisoners in china. One wishes that he was beating his chest taking credit for trying to sort of deal with democracy and human rights issues across asia which he absolutely failed to do. But, errol, back to your original point because i have been here marinating on it. Every conversation the president
publicly has had has been a person of color. Look at sergeant johnsons wife. You look at congresswoman wilson. The Gold Star Muslim family. Look at lavar ball. Sure. Its hard to overlook that. Well, thats right. Look, its been a theme. I react just having seen this just now in part because i feel like ive seen years of this. Central park five. These were the five boys wrongly imprisoned, wrongly convicted. He took an ad out in the new york times. To this day he never said im wrong and im sorry. Or the birther controversy. You know and i know he has never said i was wrong, im sorry. It is one of the few core political principles, along with trade issues, that he has never really wavered on on. Thank you very much.

Reporter alisyn, youre right. Before flying south here to florida, the president did break his long silence on roy moore, offering his support even though his communication staff had been saying for days that the alabama election ought to be left up to the vote issers of alabama. The question now how far the president will go to get roy moore elected. I can tell you one thing for sure, we dont need a liberal person in there, a democrat. Reporter President Trump all but endorsing Embattled Senate republican nominee roy moore. We do not need somebody that is going to be bad on crime, bad on borders, bad for the military, bad for the 2nd amendment. Reporter insisting his concerns were about policy above all else, despite allegations that moore sexually assaulted two teenage girls who he was in his 30s, including one woman who said she was 14 at the time, and
campaign. Reporter mr. Trump leaving the door open to possibly campaigning for moore ahead of the December 12th Special Election in alabama. Ill be letting you know next week. Reporter breaking with his partys leadership and a number of gop senators who called on moore to step down. Hes obviously not fit to be in the United States senate and weve looked at all the options to try to prevent that from happening. Reporter moores democratic challenger doug jones is speaking out about the accusations against moore for the first time. The women. I believe their stories, their credibility, and i believe them. Reporter and releasing an ad credit sizing moore. Ivanka trump says theres a special place in hell for people who prey on children. Jeff sessions i have no reason to doubt these young women. Conservative voices. Denied. For him to move against roy moore to in a sense change the outcome of an election by trying to push him off the ballot when he is vehemently denying all of these allegations would seem out of place and would raise questions about trump in terms the of, sir, if you believe roy moore, why shouldnt we believe the women who made allegations against you . I hear you. You hear it as rigged as him talking about the theme of rigged elections. Just like what errol was saying, what he hears when the president goes after lavar bell, i hear when he sides with roy moore saying women cant be trusted. I dont believe women. I hear that too. But i think this is a part of the political calculation that the president is making and the personal calculation. Additionally, roy moore will not go anywhere. The president called him to get out of the race, roy moore Wouldnt Get Out of the race and
the president would look impotent. Mitch mcconnell is threatening to expel him if he wins. Rick santorum says the president s base is basically saying, law, why are you messing with us. Rick santorum says he believes alabama voters should think twice about voting for moore because he wont be in the senate very long. He thinks they will move on him quickly. The governor, who doesnt want to do anything right now, would be in a position to name somebody. So there has been an evolution here, biblical reference of seven days since he got back from asia and he has said nothing. Heres the evolution. The in Kopbt Vertable is there is no seat. They are troubling and should be taken seriously and he thinks the people of alabama should
make a decision on who their next senator should be. If he did not believe the womens accusations are credible he would be down there campaigning for roy moore. He has not done that. He totally denies it. He said it didnt happen. And, you know, you have to listen to him also. Its as ugly as it is obvious. We saw it yesterday in realtime. There can be no question about whats motivating the president here. He said its good women are coming forward. Its a special time. I dont know whats special about it. Its so horrible what we keep learning about time after time. And then he says, in the same head lives that idea, this is good, they should have come forward. And he denies it. Good enough for me. Jim acosta reports that a source close to the situation tells him for days hes been questioning these accusers because to him it is looking more and more like what was done to him during the campaign. Yes. I think all of this should be seen in evolution through the
lens of the personal and political interests of the president which he is pursuing. Thats his guiding star. There is some public polling on. Im sure they have internal political polling that strongly suggests republicans are willing to look the other way. The gaggle was when he started ticking off different ideas where instead of taking supporting an accused molester, dragging it into politics. Saying we have Second Amendment issues, we have Supreme Court appointments coming down the way. He had some of his breitbart buddies and one of the senior guys was saying look at jones. Hes bad on this. Moore on one side and jones on the other side. Those are equal issues. Taxes. This is the calculation the republicans made in the Campaign Last year. All the issues with donald trump but judges and the Supreme Court and hillary is bad. And it was effective. Oh, yeah. And i think it will be effective again once the dust settles in alabama. If history is any precedent, roy moore is going to win. Thats right. Because we already know that Republican Voters and certainly trump voters and supporters, Dont See Sexual Abuse the way the majority of americans do. We just put up the poll. 60 of americans feel he should be expelled. And 49 of republicans think that he should not. So there you have it. Thats right. It will be a close race. Im pretty sure kellyanne conway, who is no slouch when it comes to being an adviser, we heard from steve bannon in his 60 minutes interview, what happened with the access Hollywood Tape was a defining moment for the campaign and therefore the trump political
style. Yeah. They can win despite that. They can absolutely win. Im sure private polling supports it. They looked at that. And then you saw the change in the president s tone. Theyre going to try to ride this out. Remember what bannon did during the Access Hollywood thing. It was widely reported. He said no, we can win on this. Double down, you can beat the allegations for women. There is a feeling going back many years when they argued character counted during the Bill Clinton Impeachment era, they lost. While trump does his own thing and that needs to be handled accordingly, if you look historically at Republican Voters, they feel burned. For many what they have said if those are the rules of the game, thats how theyre going to play. They feel at least this way we have been winning. That is something that needs to be reckoned with as voters in alabama and across the country
as how we approach these allegations and whether or not they are willing to vote for a democrat when these things come up. This is bipartisan. Certainly Sexual Harassment is bipartis bipartisan. We will talk about the democratic side, including john conyers and the latest in an ethics investigation into him. That will be coming up. All right. The passing of a former teen heartthrob. Im sure youve heard this by now. David cassidy looms so large in the lives of so many people. Im sure you still have the poster. I do, on my wall. We will rekindle next.
