>> she gave comments that could be interpreted as hostile to roy moore. >> she said there's a special circle in hell. >> yes. not directly mentioning roy moore, but it's in that atmosphere. >> the senate leader has a different position than the president. what does he want? >> let's just say there's a huge "if" result. i don't know about the turnout in the polls. every election is going to be brand-new and we don't know what's going to happen. but if oi roy moore wins, just to be cynical for a minute, if it's a big win, he's safer. if it's a narrow win, it's very much in jeopardy. if he wins, he'll be immediately facing an ethics committee. that's not my words. that's mitch mcconnell's words. stigma and isolation. hi's a pro-trump vote, and mitch mcconnell will be wary of going up against the trump white house if moore wins because he'll have the most important political defender in america, the president. >> it will be interesting to see what they do because they've been saying all along, let's let the people of alabama decide. >> mr. trump wants to have the tax bill done by christmas. a, can he do that and is it the bill he promised on the campaign trail? >> it's promised on the campaign trail. he said with 95% certainty we're going to get this done. i'm told now it's 65%. why? they're digging in their heels for their own bills and they don't know what the compromise looks like and where the votes are. this week coming ahead is vital to this issue, the ability of republicans to govern and what remains of the trump agenda. >> all right. thanks major. >> you got it. some of the women who accused president trump of sexual abuse will hold a news conference demanding an investigation. the u.n. ambassador to the united nations said women who have accused the president should be heard. >> we heard from them prior to the election, and i think any woman who has felt violated or mistreated in every way, they have every right to speak up. >> speaking on "face the nation" yesterday, haley also said president trump was courageous for israel's capital. >> i sat there with my mouth open watching your show yesterday. were you surprised what she said?

>> it's an amazing show and a beautiful episode. i worked for netflix before and, you know, it is kind of like working for god when you work r >> is n"black mirror" something you had been watching? >> i didn't know anything about it. i was bemoaning the state of the movie business and saying i really wanted to do feature-length films on streaming. so this is the way to go. >> well, describe what you were talking about there, that scene we just missed, the technology. >> there is a device. you know, i want people to watch it. so i can't tell you much more about it. there's a device that allows you to keep your child safe. >> that's not really telling much about it. >> i've always thought about this, whether you could implant something in them in order to monitor them. most parents i know, too, use the find their phone to locate them, the idea of surveilling or keeping track of your kids. >> everything in "black mirror," technology is really a reflection of our own mess up psychology and the technology it doesn't have feelings. it just does what we ask it to do. unfortunately it highlights the crazy dynamics and psychology of our family life. >> and like parenting, the tighter you control, like a bar of soap it squeezes out of your hand. >> you start with the child from the beginning from the time she's born and you follow her until the end of her adolescence and there's something, you know -- you feel possessive of her and you feel possessive of that life. there's a part of you that wants to take care of her and also to handicap her and stop her growth. >> so it's a mother and a daughter. that's not soiling anything. we see that. how was that different -- they say you raise daughters and you let sons grow up. is that part of the dynamic? could it have worked with a mother and son? >> it would have been a different movie. my first movie i directed was about a little man tate. it's a different relationship, fascinating to explore, but very raised by a single mom. our relationship was fraught. it was interesting. she worked my whole life. when we pulled apart, that struggle was very difficult. >> what they said about you, you didn't just do it, you also became very edge gauged in the process. you were phoning in notes, i think we ought do this. is that how you normally handle directing, jodie? you go all in? >> yeah. >> they know what they're getting when they get you. >> certainly with features. the fascinating thing about it unlike television where directors are brought on very soon before the product and they're sort of accomplishing the tone of the film, the tone of the series, with black mirror, they're small indy films, so brand-new cast members, brand-new crew members. you make a decision about everything. >> how is the crete ittive commitment different with acting versus directing? >> it's polar it's complete commitment. i do both. one part of me likes to play characters that aren't me i ask questions. as a director, it's just the opposite. you're always saying who am i. and that's really what a director does. >> jodie, what's your take on the "me too" movement and the latest revelations that started with harvey weinstein. i thought jane rosenthal said it best. she said pandora's box is open and pandora is pissed. as we sit here, what do you think? >> i'm not a sound bite person. i'm an hours person. i like to talk about things for hours. i'm not good at 140 characters. i feel like it's a complicated issue and it is a watershed moment. it is an amazing moment in time and, you know, in order do it justice, i think we need a bigger dialogue and a much more but this time is necessary and i'm really looking forward to what happens next like all social justice movements. i think we're all looking forward to how we can heal and we want to hear the other side as well and we want to hear in order to really change things. justice by twitter is not the right way to go. >> it cease good. >> it's so interesting you say that. i used the word "reckoning" on the air and i've been thinking about it. at some point there has to be reconciliation. >> if we look at what happened after partied, that's such an amazing idea that desmond tutu had. we needed it after civil rights, we needed that after slashry. we needed that after official social justice movements. i'm looking forward to that. i'm happy to go to davos and start that. >> thank you, jodie foster. always good to have you. a new season o running a small business is demanding. and that's why small business owners need more. like internet that's up to the challenge. the gig-speed network from comcast business gives you more. with speeds up to 20 times faster than the average. that means powering more devices, more video conferencing, and more downloads in seconds, not minutes. get fast internet and add phone and tv for only $24.90 more per month. comcast is building america's largest gig-speed network to give small businesses more. call 1-800-501-6000 today. bp is taking safety glasses to a whole new level. using augmented reality so engineers in the field can share data and get expert backup in the blink of an eye. because safety is never being satisfied and always working to be better. wand those who finds, their hearts desires. there's a little klutz in all of us. that's why we made clorox splash-less bleach... ...splashless. shine on, klutzes. shine on. bp's natural gas teams use smart app technology to share data from any well instantly. so they can analyze trends and stop potential problems in their tracks. because safety is never being satisfied and always working to be better.
