squeaky clean. there were complaints. meredith vieira says he kept sex toys in his office. hoda and savanna knew about thi this. and at msnbc, they said it was kind of a open secret. i know that's been a band phrase. some of it was consensual but a lot of it was not. a lot of it was humiliating, degrading, harassment, borderline sexual assault. it looks like they have a problem because when you combine them spiking the ronan farrow weinstein peace with them spiking the juanita broaddrick bill clinton peace and protecting matt lauer for all these years. and doesn't good for them and they made a half a billion dollars in profits every year and the ratings are great. people who were playing by the rules that got them where they were doing with the rules say this is a huge error. >> dana: what to think about the ronan farrow piece? nbc-today show fixture and have a harvey weinstein story. nbc said take it somewhere else. it's not a story want to do. it comes out in the new yorker and that's the spark that lit the wildfire. >> kimberly: i think after you mention this yesterday. >> dana: things i should've said during the a block. >> kimberly: why didn't you make that point? i think it's very bad for them because it makes them look like they were trying to do kind of a cover-up. they don't want to do a story like that another have their own skeletons in their own closet. such a big story. ronan farrow obviously was telling the truth, and there was never there to not talk about these stories and not shine a light. >> dana: we are not saying we know for sure it's connected. we don't, but it does raise putting out a statement. that's not what i said. the fact of the matter is the young lady in question is african-american, and i know he her. >> dana: juan, ever since nancy pelosi was on "meet the press" and screwed it up in a week later calling for the roseate trickle resignation come are the democrats trying to get themselves into a place where they can agree these allegations are serious. >> juan: there is so much to say. you have to put it in this -- democrats are not united and not all of 1 party when it comes of this. what you had is pelosi trying to maintain relations with these senior members of the democratic delegation in the u.s. house of representatives, john conyers. 88 years old, senior member of the party in the head of the judiciary committee but you want to maintain relations with the congressional black caucus which is going to be especially protective of the man who founded it and is referred to in the black community but by pelosi as an icon. >> brian: would you also say the right thing to do politically and the right thing to do personally. if you listen to these women talk and you read these accounts and close the book and say i have to go do meet the press. i've got to be honest. i can't back him anymore. as opposed to i better not lose the congressional black caucus. kathleen rice has been the hero of this entire. freshman new york congresswoman has spoken out on both sides. she said she walked out of a meeting with nancy pelosi because they weren't addressing the elephant in the room. that takes guts, telling senator franken to step aside. that's takes cash that takes guts >> juan: i think they are asking him to step aside. if you're talking about the institution, there's no way of getting away from the politics. nancy pelosi wanted to demonstrate she's a leader to her members but also i think she screwed up on "meet the press" when she talked about questioning the women, the same screwup that my friend james clyburn made. >> jesse: she managed to alienate both constituencies, women and blacks. at first she says he is an icon and raised doubts about the women and you know democrats need women because they are a key constituency. then she flip-flops and says should probably resign but she hasn't called for the white al franken to resign. a lot of members in the black unity see little bit of a different standard there. >> juan: wait a second. this is what greg was talking about. it's a huge difference between these cases. you want to throw them in the same bucket. i don't think that's fair. >> jesse: there are similarities between both. conyers has four allegations against him. frank n photographic evidence, groping. similar. >> dana: when it comes to the law, sexual harassment, the women accusing al franken weren't working for him. is that the key distinction? >> kimberly: yeah, because it wasn't something taking place in a work environment or he was a superior to them or supervisor. it's a completely nonconsensual, unwarranted, inappropriate. that's what makes it so disturbing. people think they have free rein to behave in this way but it's injurious to others and women. when you see the situation of conyers and the situation with franken, there's evidence to substantiate these claims that it can be independently corroborated. >> dana: do you think conyers will resign by tomorrow? >> juan: conyers is in the hospital. as kimberly said, this is an 88-year-old man under tremendous stress. i think you have to stop for a second. we don't often do this but be sympathetic for a second. the poor guy's whole life has crumbled here because he is no longer going to be known as the founder of the black caucus or the longest-serving member or a terrific representative of southeast michigan. he's going to be known as the guy who got caught up in this. the real crime in the conyers case is that he used public funds to pay off this woman as hush money. that's the sin here. >> brian: would you say we should give tribute to harvey weinstein for doing some great movies. he's been doing this for 50 years. if it turns out, the v shape. bill cosby is hysterical but i don't the could put on an album again. stephanie templer. >> dana: can i interrupt. we have good news. the president of the united states has just lit the national christmas tree and i think we have some tape of it. >> merry christmas and happy holidays. >> i want to thank you. we want to wish everybody a merry christmas, a happy new year. have unbelievable holidays, and we are not going to light a very beautiful tree, and i will ask our first lady to get ready. maybe we will do a countdown from 10. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. ♪ ♪ >> dana: that is pretty fun. the white house christmas tree lit for all the people of america. the president and first lady enjoying their first christmas season at the white house. we will bring you more if we have it. i i had come british prime minister theresa may condemns president trump over his recent activity on twitter. he had some words for her as well. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros. even pet care services. and nobody understands your options like the advisors at a place for mom. these are local, expert advisors that will partner with you to find the perfect place and determine the right level of care. whether that's just a helping hand or fulltime memory care. best of all it's a free service. there's never any cost to you. senior living has never been better. and there's never been an easier way to get great advice. call today. a place for mom. you know your family. we know senior living. a place for mom. you know your family. we know senior living. together we'll make the right choice. ♪ >> jesse: president trump and britain's prime minister theresa may in a war of words over some recent tweets by the president. the president has come under fire after he retreated anti-muslim videos. that prompted this response. >> the fact that we work together does not mean we are afraid to say when we think the united states has got it wrong and to be very clear with them, and i'm very clear that retreating -- retreating from britain first was the wrong thing to do. >> jesse: that didn't sit so well with the president. he fired back with: "@theresa_may, don't focus on me, focus on the destructive radical islamic terrorism that is taking place within the united kingdom. we are doing just fine!" kimberly, is this an old spanish between friends or is it more than that? >> kimberly: this is the new age of politics. we are in a twitter war with theresa may. did we ever think we would be here? >> jesse: no, we did not. >> kimberly: this is a new day, a new age and i expect it will continue especially now with more characters on twitter. she's also getting back. you wouldn't think this is the new president trump affect. she says i'm going to get in the mix. >> jesse: she says she's not afraid to criticize her friends when she thinks her friends have done something wrong. >> juan: first of all, apparently much of the video that was retweeted is fake. it's not real. it shows muslims engaged in violent acts and the like and the president read tweets it. the key point to me is not theresa may. she is our ally. she says it's not affecting the u.s. british relationship anywa anyway. but it somewhat different than what we saw from president obama, wouldn't you say? yes want, they said it was in america's best interests to maintain its alliances with muslim majority countries. from south carolina, senator graham said this is not good. >> brian: he didn't say all muslims were bad. he said these two extremist groups. >> juan: when you retweet something like that. >> jesse: re-tweeting is not an endorsement, juan. >> brian: the mayor of london wants theresa may to rescind the invitation the president accepted. we don't have a date yet for the visit, because of this. she says they are doing just fine. i say, if theresa may got video of the bike path terrorist and tweeted that out and said hey, theresa may, hey president trump, cracked down on your terrorism problem in new york city, how would president trump have handled it? >> dana: there's a few things. the extremist groups here is britain first. that's the extremist group. they are too far right wing to call them right wing. they are a white supremacist group. on twitter, you can turn off retweets, that's a good rule. he doesn't need to retweet anything. retreating his a bad idea. i also think this idea that they are fake but in general we know there are muslim extremists and therefore its okay is wrong. it reminded me of 2004 when dan rather tried to pass off those forged documents about george w. bush's air guard participation, though they were forged. "the new york times" editorial page wrote "fake but accurate." not good enough. i think she's the most ideologically aligned with president trump. she agrees with him. they are allies. i think instead of punching back at her, you have to understand she has domestic politics she has to deal with as well. she is inclined in a precarious situation. they might have to call for another election soon. she has to be able to stand up. i would say there's no need to put your allies in that positio position. >> jesse: i am going to give the royal expert the last word. the president is going to england later next year. what do you think his reception is going to be and how do you think they are going to handle it?

>> juan: corker, flake, susan collins. i think danes from montana. when you get john mccain to say yes, i think a lot of those people now feel like the bandwagon is rolling and we better get on board. my feeling is even as people say let's get something done, this is not a good tax bill. i'm a bigot it helps people. i think 25% of the money goes to people making over 300,000. >> brian: two different plans. >> kimberly: i want to get the dana perino forecast. >> dana: i think it is unstoppable. imagine if senator mccain had said he was not going to vote for it. i think he made the decision on the merits. the question will be on, the republicans were able to ensure obamacare remained the most unpopular piece of legislation ever passed. although it's more popular now. that really help them in the midterm elections. this will be a little bit different. obamacare, for many people, was a bridge too far because of it's a step towards socialized medicine. everybody can understand tax cuts but the debate will be on the statistics. does the economy continued to do better? do wages go up? do people see more money in their paychecks starting in january and does not have an effect? the democrats are going to say clearly this is only going to the rich. all these people who voted for president trump and are disappointed, we will have a better answer. that's what the debate is going to be but i think republicans, because the economy is in good shape right now, you add tax cuts to it. i don't see how it doesn't get better. >> brian: it's not like health care was going good and obamacare made it better. right now the economy is going in the right direction by almost every stat. if it improves incrementally, it's only going to help. >> dana: the economic concern the president will have to deal with will be inflation. >> brian: one quick point. chad pergram wrote, senator senator kennedy from louisiana, he said the meetings are different. they are more positive, upbeat. he's rallying people together. he's not scaring them, intimidating them. they are cutting commercials. he's going on the road. he's working them. >> jesse: tell everybody who chad pergram is. >> kimberly: you are saying bees with honey. >> brian: i wouldn't be surprised if you get four democrats voting for it. heidi heitkamp, joe manchin, may be claire mccaskill. >> dana: i don't think so. i will bet you dinner on that. >> brian: are we taping the show?
