Mark halperin, morning joe economic analyst steve ratner, author of the book a world in disarray richard haas. Columnist and associate editor for the Washington Post, David Ignatius. Joe, i guess its good he checked. I dont know. Ill tell you why. You start adding up all the people that the president has insulted, we start with the president wanting to get tax reform done, wanting to get something done on capitol hill. You talked about bob corker, a battle with Mitch Mcconnell. Of course, a constant battle with john mccain, Susan Collins who wont be governor because shes going to stay there to fight the good fight. You can go down the line. Ben sasse. The resistance on the republican side against this insanity, this lack of conservative governance is growing. And you just have to what can this guy get done over the next 3 1 2 years . Doesnt look like a lot with him insulting a new, important senator every day. How was your weekend, by the way . Our weekend was great. We actually hosted
At the turkey pardon. He had to pardon roy moore at the same time for child molestation allegations and then you have yesterday he takes this nice ceremonial event honoring war veterans and has to be dominion in crass. Zplp also we have in washington the great host of casey d. C. Good morning. Laser rock. Casey in d. C. , any. Actually i think theyre playing it eastern longer, even more inappropriate. I cant hear. What the what the heck . Were baaack. What the heck was the reaction on camille . Reporter to pocahontas, specifically . Yeah. Reporter well, i think many of them took it in stride as per usual. I think there is a sense that this president is regularly insulting to people. Its easier to brush it off when its one person instead of an entire group of people given the context of the room and the people that were supposed to have been honored at this ceremony made this particularly troubling to the couple of people that i talked about as i was leaving the building last night. Eli
Presidency for him to conduct himself that way. It is election day in alabama. Can roy moore overcome allegations he pursued teenage girls when he was a 30 something prosecute orror will doug jones be the first democrat to win a senate seat in 25 years . There is a lot of money in this race. Everybody in this state, most of the people in this nation are watching this election. Why . Why is it . Because its the first senatorial election after the election of President Trump. We feel so good about what we have done and what we have said to the people of alabama and people of the United States. I dont think that roy moore is going to win this election. We will get you live to alabama in a few minutes, but we begin at the Trump White House. Due in the roosevelt room to sign the National Defense authorization act of 2018, an important spending blueprint. We will hear from the president live and interesting to see if he takes questions after a rather eventful morning. He forcefully dismissed
Gabe, i want to start with you. Lay it out for us, my friend. The last four hours we have seen action in mountain brook. Doug jones is probably going to be there in the next hour. What ya got . Reporter one poll shows roy moore ahead, another shows doug jones ahead. It is a tossup. Speaking to voters here, they are excited to cast their ball lots in suburban birmingham. One woman we spoke to said this is something doug jones has been looking for right now, a republican woman. Suburban white voter who says shes deeply troubled by the allegations against roy moore and says that she wants to do the hon rabble thing. Thats why she voted for doug jones and voted for Luther Strange in the last primary. Doug jones voted for himself casting his own vote. Well take a listen at what he had to say. This is an important time in alabamas history. And we feel very confident of where we are and how this is going to turn out, but more importantly, we feel so good about what we have done and what we ha
For 2017, and also a predictor of the future. The verdict rests on the people of alabama, if you dont believe in my character, dont vote for me. He is a good christian man, and all this bull crap that is going on is nothing but bull crap. Fake news will tell you that we dont care for jews. One of other attornof our attor there is a special place in hell. For republicans who should know better. Well, i havent really decided what im going to do. Im just disgusted with the whole situation. It is time that we put our decency, our state before Political Party. At some point, we got to stop looking like idiots to the nation. I dont think roy moore is a good representative to the christian faith, or the Republican Party. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you. Alabama is not going to let that shame happen again. Meanwhile, the president is picking a fight with another woman in the senate, this time kristin gillibrand, who is saying that the president should resign, he said tha
