Women abut the me too movement. Alex wagner talks to men who are also speaking up. You watch these stories unfold, every day, there is a new story. Where are you guys as this all unfolds . It certainly is a tidal wave that its happening. But i look at it like isnt it amazing that, that, so many people have felt the need to be silent for so long.

Men are kind of grouped together from a very young age. There becomes a vernacular that its negative towards women. And there becomes an expectation of other men to place ideology on conquering women. Leland, that brings to the fore, the question of masculinity and how young men are indoctrinated at an early age . You have written about this. I was 5 years old. And, you know, i talk about this in my book because it is like how can i help other kids get over this. Because so many kids that are, that are abused they, end up, abusers themselves or alcoholics or just whatever hap pnpens. One reason we want mend to talk about this. Really men are part of the solution right . I dont think men are the solution. I think a mans role becomes a lot about listening. Let me listen to, to women. Not just white women, women of color. Transwomen, all women across, i think the too often. Men, especially when theyre around women what theyre really concerned about humiliated in front of women. Where this starts. Trying to teach them that a girl in your class is, is strong, and, smart, and thats okay. That shouldnt humiliate you. You dont have to be better than everybody.

Hi, welcome to the overnight news. Im demarco morgan. Republican leaders in congress scrambling to keep members in line as they push ahead to overhaul the u. S. Tax code. The bill will be unveiled. President trump wants to sign it into law before christmas. But two gop senators are wavering, two others are hospitalized. And lawmakers wont find out until later today, what it all will cost. Nancy cordes has the the story. Its not perfect. But damn good. Republicans say the hardest part is behind them now that they crafted compromise between the house and senate tax bills. Reporter republicans say the hardest part is behind them now that they crafted compromise between the house and senate tax bills. The final plan preserves deduction for Student Loans and medical expenses targeted in previous bills. And it doubles the standard deducts which republicans say will enable millions of taxpayers to stop itemizing. This relief gives people a simpler cyst and fair tax code. Reporter residents could get squeetzed. The plan caps the deduction for state and local income tax, plus, property tax, at 10,000 a year. And, it lowers the mortgage deduction cap. From new loans worth 1 million to 750,000. It is a monumental con job. Republicans say they make up for the changes by lowering the marginal tax rate at every income level. And, by preventing the dreaded alternative minimum tax from hitting everyone but the highest earners. The tax bill today a pair of gop senators balked because the bill only hikes the Child Tax Credit by 100. A big backtrack from the senates previous bill.

But democrats argue it is mostly a gift to big business. Permanently slashing the Corporate Tax rate from 35 to 21 without cutting many corporate loopholes. The personal tax cuts, son the other hand are temporary. And obamas care individual mandate eliminated which could boost the number of uninsured americans. Premium tax credit.

The government of iran denied accusations that it supplied missiles, in yemen, fired into saudi arabia. David martin has the story. Rebels in yemen fired into saudi arabia last month landed a mile and a half from the main terminal of Riyadh International airport. The wreckage of the missile is aircraft hangar where it provided backdrop for a declaration by u. N. Ambassador nikki haley. Of a new hard line against iran. We do not often declassify equipment recovered from at takes. We did this for a single urgent purpose. Because the Iranian Regime can not be allowed to engage in its lawless behavior, any longer. According to the pentagon, the missile was made in iran and shipped to yemen in violation of u. N. Security council resolutions. The Guidance System bears the initials of the iranian firm which manufactured it and the main body has nine fueling valves. A trademark of iranian made missiles. The missles intended target was the civilian airport in riyadh. Through which tens of thousands of passengers travel each day. Iran rejected the allegations as baseless, but the evidence on display was convincing. Parts of the suicide vote identical to the one used in this attack on a saudi boat, included electronics bearing the stamp of an iranian come of pan and a camera, memory including photos at the factory showing Iranian Revolutionary guard hat in the background. Ambassador haley did not say what the u. S. Plans to do about it. Beyond exposing iran is what she called, an arsonist fanning the flames of conflict in the middle east.

The problem of Sexual Misconduct and abugs has been brought into the spotlight. Mainly by women. But some men also have strong views on this. Alex wagner brought together five successful men for a conversation on sexual intimidation. The group of included writer, director, producer, judd appetow, fashion designer, and former astronaut Sexual Assault survivor, leland melvin, new york giant, mark hirslich whose wife is survivor of sex abuse, and restaurant our, tom caliccio talked about moving the me too Movement Forward and its effect on themt. As you watch the stories unfold. Every day there is a new story. New Washington Post story. The New York Times story. Story on the internet. Sure for a lot of men there is fear, right. Where are you guys as this all unfolds . Judd . It certainly a title wave. That its happening. But of i look at it like, isnt it amazing that, that, so many people have felt the need to be silent so long. How terrible must the environment be, that right now, as a result of the internet and as a result of just, just, you know, the confluence of events, people feel safe, speaking up. Just this week, ken friedman, mario batali, high profile rust restaurant owners. Kitchens are places where the behavior has gone unchecked for decades. Uhhuh. Uhhuh. Whats the answer, tom . You are right. Going on for decades. I think the answer is, we are seeing the answer. There is a cultural shift before our eyes right now. Thats where the struggle is. Until we take it a step further what can we do to make sure the women are safe, economically there, there are structures in place that can see them thrive. Men are kind of grouped together, from a very young age. And, whether it is, you know athletic teams, or, or in locker rooms, fraternities, where you are amongst a collective group of men. There becomes a, a, vernacular that is negative towards women. And there becomes an expectation of other men, to place ideology on conquering women. Leland, that brings to the foesh, the question of sort of masculinity. And young men are indoctrinated at an early age. You have wrift any but this. I am a me too. I was 5 years old. And these, older kids, decided to hey, we will have fun with this young little boy. And you know, i talk about this in my book. Its like, how could i help other kids get over this. So many kids that are abused, they, end up, some are abusers themselves or al skoe holices or whatever happens. Especially if theyve dont get help. Did you ask yourself those questions though about, how could i, how could i the have let this happen to me. I did. I blame myself. I shouldnt have gone over there. I should have fought. Should have done something differently. Part of the shame that build in us that causes cancer in you. If you dont get it out or have a vehicle to have someone to talk to. We talk about a lot of aggression in context ohe victims. One of the reasons we wanted to have men talk about this, really, men are part of the solution. Right . And yet, so much of this conversation is among and for women. What its that about . I dent think men are the solution. I really dont think so. I think there need to be shift in thinking, treating women as a weaker sex. That they need to be protected somehow. Im very fortunate enough to be surrounded by exfreemly strong women in my life. Who dont put up with any of this kind of stuff. You know, so i think a mans role becomes a lot about listening. Let me listen to, to women. Not just whieflt women. Women of color. Transwomen. All women across. Judd, you are surrounded by women at home . Uhhuh. What has it been like to be in your house at this moment . I have a lot of emotions. I feel sorrow for my daughters to face a world that is, that is often dangerous. And, and, for very long time. You know, we talked about. How do you stay safe . Expecting young men, boys to be respectful. What do you want from, relationships . What do you want, from these interactions . You want to be treated well. If people dont treat you well they should not be in your world. In any way. Ive thing that too often men, especially when theyre around women what theyre concerned about is being hue mill yatd hue humiliated in front of women. Thats where a lot of this start. Teach them that a girl in your class is strong and smart, and thats okay. That shouldnt humiliate you dont have to be better than everybody. When you talk womans perspective, mark, your wife is a victim of sexual abuse and was see if lent a very long time. What did, she teach you about the issue . My wife had, you know, Domestic Violence in her house when she was, when she was younger. And she really didnt share it for, for many years. Until she, she, you know felt comfortable around, a man. For the first time which was with me. It was interesting. At that time i was diagnosed with bone cancer. Going through radiation and chemotherapy. My future was looking, pretty bad. And, when she felt comfortable enough to, to, tell me about the violence that had occurred to her, it, it was interesting how, all of those things didnt matter anymore. Didnt matter how i looked or felt. I felt more like a man in that moment because it was creating a safe environment for another human. What should happen to, to the men who have been, accused sexual harassment. Shoud you be allowed to have your career back. Im least interest in what is going to hamt pen to the men. What i am interested in how are we going to empower women and change the conversation. The louis c. Kays may not work again we know him. The idea of him going out and doing something. Is going to be rejected by society. What about that, that, that, chef. Who is working at some third rate hotel in nebraska some wharl hul sexually harassed women. Move it to another town. No one will know his face. He will get a job. This its a conversation who has fur and how power is wielded. Who has power that doesnt do anything. Harvey weinstein is writing checks, bill cosby is writing checks, he makes a lot of money. The powerful people. Saying this is too much of the pain for me to become the person to shut it down. Culture change. Movement. The is Civil Rights Movement didnt end when we signed civil rights act. It still is continuing. I think this is culturally present right now. Something hey, are you taking the tissue test . Yep, and my teeth are yellow. I mean i knew they werent perfect, but, ugh. Oh well, all hope is lost oh thanks clearly my whitening toothpaste is not cutting it. Time for whitestrips. Crest glamorous White Whitestrips are the only adaaccepted whitening strips proven to be safe and effective.

Lauren and Ralph Strickland thought so too. Thank you. Of the secret as to why she seems so natural in the role of tiny tim, may me, because, she is lived. I get tearyeyed at some of the scenes. Just thinking where she was and where she its now. When pair us was 9 days old she was diagnosed with stage three neural blastoma rare, deadly childhood cancer. They told us because she was so small. The tumor was so large that most likely she wasnt going to make it. They basically told us to prepare to not have her here. They watched. She went through every round of treatment imaginable including four surgeries and hundred of doses of chemotherapy. Despite all of that, paris cancer kept coming back. Again and again. When i look in my scrapbooks, i see, wow, i want through air lot. Reporter a lot indeed for three long years. Thats when paris scans finally showed no more evidence of the disease. Daddy will have to do this. These are sharp. Still though, the cancer left its mark. She is smaller than most kids her age. She now walks with a limp. Obviously you got this part. Because the you are a good actress. Not because you were a sick little girl. Uhhuh. Yet, a lot of people are going to see the similarities between tiny tim being a sick little boy. Youll would be a six little girl. Does it change the way you play the parred. It helps me that ike lieks im not the only one out there. That has gone through all of this. Itch i look back to tiny time. He was tick. He got through all of it. I was sick. I got through all of it. And i like to put what happened in the past behind me and sometimes, use the tight move forward. She needed some of the tiny tame aefl strength. In fact the whole family did. When cancer visited again. This time her mom got the diagnosis. We november the foundation is strong in our household. Yeah. We can overcome pretty much anything. I am going to go this way.

Com recent study out of Great Britain shows three to four cups of coffee a day can be good for you. Bringing lower risk of Heart Disease and premature death. Some of the finest coffee crops in the world are now threatened. Mark phillips tells us in the climate diary. To men the other dark liquid that powers the world. Coffee. But the damage being done to the planet by the primary dark liquid, oil, and fossil fuels, coffee is in trouble and so are the farmers who grow it. A good harvest year or not so good . It is not so good. Up here in the mountains of eastern uganda, coffee is the most important thing they grow. Anthony and vincent caballas family growing it on their farm, 4,000 feet up the slopes of mount elgan for generations. Lately the they have been having problems they never had before. It turns out coffee is as fussy as the people who drink it. It likes the right altitude, the right temperature, and the right amounts of rain and sunshine, in the right order. It is the goldilocks of crops that likes things just right. Not enough rain. Too much sunshine. Bad fruit. Yes. Too much and produces bad fruits. Hmm. Another farmer, another farm, another problem. This fine white powder is produced by the stem bore beetle which he says is one of the pelss and diseases which have come up from the valley as with warmed. Ten years back it was not here. Most of the farmtz destroyed completely. Total totally. Coffee yields dropping and prices up as much as 30 since 2015. More than just the consumers morning pick me up is threatened. The farmers are cav fee dependent for a reason. For picking the berries to processing them, to drawing and sortding the beans. And getting them to market. This is ate Family Business where every member of the family contributes. Where the cast from selling the coffee provides the only income to pay for schools for the kids and foremedical care. There is actually an imbalance in the cword. The retail is controlled by the big brands. The big distributors. But the production comes from, little family, almost, vegetable sized patch. And if production fails the big boys can go some where else. These people cant go anymare. For the people who consume coffee, it is about a drink. For the people who visit, and depend on it, it is about life.
