wasn t. i shouldn t have done that. the woman, her name is leeann tweeden, a radio host and out in california. let me bring back in with me now, scott jennings is here, margaret hoover, brian lancing, scott mullhouser as well. margaret, this coming out about al franken, but in context of the conversation we re having about senate candidate roy moore, the conversation that the country is having about that and more. our tolerance for sexual harassment in the work place which has gone on for as long as any of us have been alive and many more generations, has suddenly in the last six months taken a turn to the extent that regular people have much less tolerance for this kind of bad behavior in corporate spaces and private spaces and political spaces. and you notice, i mean six years ago, when al franken was running in a tightly contested senate race, six years, maybe ten years ago, 2006, against norm coleman, it was a tight race, we were discussing, if something like this had come out
done, mcconnell gets it through the senate. what do you think? i think senate there are real hangups, real differences between the bills. re nowhere clear close to the 50 yard line. see if the president talks. let s listen in. that looked like sheer confidence for the vote coming up. clearly obviously kidding. i think it s going to pass the house. i ve talked to folks close to senator mcconnell today and they still feel very good. on ron johnson, the statement coming out has thrown a wrinkle into this, but the last line of the statement is important, i still want to vote for this. he makes that clear. we were here on obamacare. he didn t want to vote for it. said there was a stern talking to and ended up voting for it. they feel very good about johnson. look, tax cuts and tax reform is like the last issue that still binds all the republicans together. everything else we re scattered. i think brian is right, the
that s kind of where i land. you ve got flake and corker, they ve got deficit. they ve got deficit issues. collins, she s got let s if we re broad stroking it, health care issues. who s gettable from the personalities that you know or who do you think be who could be the problem here? i suspect they work on folks like johnson who says he wants to vote for the bill. i think the inclusion of the mandate makes it harder for collins and for murkowski and potentially others. also the debt and deficit problems that are very real. i mean you re seeing tax breaks for corporations be permanent and tax cuts for regular folks not so much. this bill raises health care premiums and it s a tough vote for folks. when you look at the impact people are struggling to figure out how and where it lands. that s why you try for someone like johnson knowing the concerns of collins and others may be more endemic. brian, the president is heading up to speak with house republicans. why if he really wants
senate. it s unprecedented to kick someone out for behavior that happened before they went. mcconnell may be setting a precedent for that happened before they got there. we have no tolerance for this behavior anymore. can i get your thought on this. it s awful to read and see and hear. the difference is al franken did the right thing. he apologized and he s attempting to move forward. what you are seeing from roy moore from seven different accusations is defiance. there are moments in leadership and i think the guy who can t walk into the local mall because he is banned from the mall may think about walking into the senate as well. brian, one person we have not heard on this is president trump. i m talking about roy moore, of course. this is the breaking news about al franken. why hasn t the president talked
