conversations with the former now former ambassador to the u.s. from russia. >> they want to know the minute by minute account everything that was happening during that time period. >> exactly. in particular they're focusing on white house gone reportedly and some of the sources are saying that this is showing us that mueller is looking at obstruction of justice and whether trump was involved in that. >> so that's the latest there. which will sort itself out at some point or dive deeper into i what we do know for sure over the weekend the president hitting up the robo call machines. a lot of folks getting calls from the president about the alabama senate race. >> exactly. trump diving in full force with roy moore ahead of election tomorrow. it will be an interesting look whether the polls are telling us what's going on with comparison to doug jones the democrat and roy moore who's now embroiled in the sexual assault and sexual misconduct scandal. >> it's interesting when you break this down roy moore now back there was a period maybe two weeks ago where it was neck and neck in this race. roy moore starting to see more separation. but maybe not as much it was a few months ago. there's still that chance that it could go either way. roy moore is back comfortable lead in this race. doug jones i will say bumped up recently amidst the sexual assault scandal. and so although over the weekend there's new poll no shows roy moore is hopping back up to bump him out. >> the interesting thing from the president's take this was the president that a month ago was saying i'll stay out of this one. >> um-hmm. >> kind of dipped his toe in the water and then with the rally we saw the other day and now these robo calls all in but not all in so much on roy moore, all in on republicans need to keep this seat. that seems to be the strategy he's pushing here. exactly. you see that with the rnc, too. they kind of back out little bit on roy moore. now they're all back in.

now. >> up to the people of alabama to decide what may have or may not have happened in roy moore's past. also, some open skeletons from the president's past coming back starting to hear the women who accused of him during the campaign of sexual misconduct or and are a or assault. now perhaps feeling a new strength now to come forward? >> you know, i think this -- this -- what's happening now you're going to see trump lawyer will be arguing trump might have immunity in a case in new york where a former candidate from the a presence tis is talking about some sexual potential sexual assault allegations. and you're going to see his lawyers say, this is going to interfere in the duties of president and in his capacity to serve the country, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out in terms of does a woman's allegations against someone about sexual assault trump that. no pun intended. >> sounds like wonderful strategy for anyone whoever needed an attorney for their attorney to come out and say, we think you should have immunity from whatever you're charged with are a accused of because it would interfere with your job. when you're the president can you pull that off? >> it's come up before. it came up with before. we'll zoo have to see how it plays out given the prominence of sexual assault allegations and how it's been affecting politics. conyers stepped down, franken who resigned and mull pi tide of other politicians and what we're hearing at axios there's more than 40 potentially representatives and senator who's may become embroiled in this situation as well. so this is problem that's not going away for politicians. >> axios reporting this morning that the accusers now against the president more than against al franken who did step down. we'll hear today from three more women who accused of the president of miss dogs in the past. do you think moore will come forward at this point after somebody steps out and goes on national television and says this is what happened? will that empower others to come forward? >> in terms of, you know, for president trump and there more women they might feel more empowered to come forward. a lot of what happens when someone experiences sexual assault they'll feel they fear repercussions especially when someone is so empowered and perhaps used to be a former boss or someone who used to be in power when you're talking about the president of the united states that's arguably. >> as much power you can get. >> -- one of the most powerful people in the world. >> two items that will be up the taxes right now senator collins who is saying hold off one second here even though it's gone through both chambers and the second thing obviously is keeping this government funded. >> right. to your first point, about senator collins she's kind of on the fence the entire time. the only reason she went forward with pushing the tax bill through the senate in the first place was because she was given assurances that mitch mcconnell would at least support resolutions or, um, bills that would account for the instability in the insurance marketplace for obamacare. so -- >> does chef enough power to stop this? >> house republicans are not entirely on board with what she's requesting there's two bills she's real reveled in. one about reassurance about subsidizing insurance payments. house republicans are are not only on board. they've been pretty clear. mitch mcconnell only offered to publicly support push these bills through. paul ryan has been pretty mum on the issue. to be determine

good day d.c. and sitting down with lot of big actors today specifically for some movies including the pitch perfect three cast as well as terry bradshaw he's ex excited about for new movie father figures. one of the films i covered this past weekend in new york was the greatest showman the story of pt barnum. hugh jackman plays this character and this is clearly a passion project for him. he's incredible singer. incredible performer and hugh jackman taking on this character kind of like him building the circus, and barn null circus really kind of a cool story line. the music is original. music is done bite people who wrote the lyrics for the la la land movie as well hanson. i spoke to hugh jackman about pt barnum in general and the idea that he let criticism affect him, and the way he did things. and i wanted to know if hugh jackman has ever let reviews affect the way he performs. also really interesting ways they capture the sinking in this film. i wanted to know how they were able to do that with so much movement and so much dancing. this is hugh jackman and i from new york this past saturday. watch this. >> one of the things i love about your cash ten the arc he has throughout the film he let's reviews affect him and there's critic in the movie, and at one point the reviews are bad and he ends up using the circus as a quote. then at one point the reviews are good and he shuts his cast out and goes along with the rebecca ferguson arc line. i'm curious as an actor, if you have reviews, did you ever find yourself changing things you did based on reviews you read about yourself? >> you know, my father when i told him i wanted to be an actor i'm a little worried. you're a little skinned. i remember him saying that to me. and he's kind of right. i am sensitive and i read reviews a little bit like this. i don't want -- and also, as an actor particularly on stage, a good review can damage you as much as a bad review if someone says i love the way you say that line you're like how did i say that line? and you can lose it. but ultimately, i've had a couple reviews here in america in new york city that i've been really tough to read. and they've said some things that actually on reflection have helped me. >> like what? >> very true. one reviewer said one thing, um, hugh jackman all he requires of you is to love you, loving him, loving you. >> i

curious if pt barnum would to put on x-men show what do you think that show would be like? >> 100%. he would have loved the x-men. really that's what he was doing. and it is the same theme. >> all right. that's hugh jackman talking about the new movie show. if you go to youtube.com/fox5 d.c. you can see the rest of his answer about the x-men. it is very similar idea. pt barnum went out and he found these incredible stars who were outcasts and afraid to kind of go out and let the public see them, and he kind of turned them into stars and similar theme to the way the x-men felt about the way
