The story that broke yesterday. Was on capitol hill where Mitch Mcconnell was asked about roy moore in light of these accusations. Here is what he had to say. I think he should step aside. Are you encouraging a writein campaign . That is an option we are looking at. Whether or not theres someone who could we will see. Versus someone to prove these are true in these situations. The believe these allegations to be true . I believe the women, yes. Host that was Mitch Mcconnell from yesterday. A look at cory gardner on monday who rested up his position on roy moore saying that all taking place yesterday in the first half hour of our program, your thoughts on this matter, particularly if you believe a judge more or his judge moore or his accusers. Joe in georgia. Independent line. Joe, i have been calling your Great Network for over 30 years. I think judge moore is innocent until Proven Guilty. The real problem is Mitch Mcconnell. He is not getting things done. He are to be replaced. I think these accusations against moore is nothing has been proven. I dont think he should drop out of the race. If i lived in alabama, i would vote for judge moore. Ast why is it more of problem for Mitch Mcconnell . Caller we didnt get the health care thing past. The senate bill, we need tax cuts now, pedro. We need to cut taxes. Im a Big Stock Market guide. That will help the stock market. We must pass these. Republicans were going to cut taxes. We must cut taxes. Host we are going to leave it there. John industry heights, maryland. Surprised theally way this new not really surprised, the nation what is going on is coming through the pipe. And tryhappening here to discredit them because they are coming forth now. I believe the ladies because i find it difficult to believe that a woman is going to put herself out there and expose. Hat happened to her whether 35 of 40 years ago, it doesnt matter. The trauma comes back in your mind so i believe the women at what is happening here is going to come in thing in this country where if a lady make an accusation against a public figure, then they are going to try and discredit her credit rather than dealing with the allegations. This thing is eating ready to get really ugly for the people who call themselves christians to sit and listen at this stuff and dont have some type of moral compass with these guys is beyond cap retention. Even starting with the president. Host flushing, new york. Caller good morning. But if you areze going to it is not about leaving the woman or man. This haso say become politicized for me now . Im sure that everybody would argue he should be for any office but we should give him the benefit of the doubt. Why should i say i dont trust him . Who am i to say that . Politicians, both republicans and democrats are using this for the own election purpose. We are recognizing sexual allegations. We are doing a disservice for this harassment. For me, i am not going to buy any argument politician is telling me. If you go on that, george bush senior has to become to do. Do you trust george bush . I am very much disappointed. Host news has a story this morning i look through texas senators in response. John cornyn who would chew his endorsement. Amonga rare public the gop leaders. Rosemarie is next. Michigan. Hello. Caller good morning. I dont think he should withdraw from running. If he wants to have anything done, we should have had it done with the president first. It seems like this election has really gone corrupt. [indiscernible] start whipping up some stuff. I just understand it. 75 years old and this is the lifetime,tion of my period, right up to the president of the United States. Host who do you believe more . Caller i believe him. Host why so . Caller 40 years, give me a break. You sit back until this guy is going to run for office. Why didnt you get him when he was just a judge. Now he wants to go to government, now you want to go after him. Theres somebody out there stirring the pot. Host allen is next and washington, d. C. Caller without a doubt, i mr. Moore should have his day in court. System is innocent until Proven Guilty. Hello . Host go ahead. Caller you are innocent until Proven Guilty. I dont know who to believe. The justices system needs to go forward. Not this witchhunt which as decided to come after this man. People of alabama did step forward and then vote their conscience. Host maxwell in maryland. Good morning. Caller good morning. I wanted to talk about roy moore on the ladies that came out. I tend to believe roy moore before he had an interview with sean hannity. Sean hannity asked him questions, do you deny having an affair with an underage girl . He said he cannot do that without the permission of the mom. He cannot even the night. That she could not even deny it. He could not even deny it. , he cannot even deny it. If you watch that show, everything he said was like, he did it. [indiscernible] that is wrong. Host that is maxwell. This goes on at a story coming out yesterday about the former president , george h. W. Bush. This was reported by the Chicago Tribune saying there is more reporting in the Chicago Tribune this morning. Our first half hour before our first guest, your thoughts on roy moore and his accusers from oklahoma, democrats line. Go ahead. Caller i think that guy is a pedophile, because he asked the girls mother. I think you know better than that. Asks a a guy like that parent to take a donor out, and you know he is in the wrong. That is all ive got. Host santa barbara, california. Go ahead. Caller i think they should cut to the chaff and have all the and they willoore all take a Lie Detector Test. And find a what is going on, we wont have to listen to all of this back and forth. Host you think a Lie Detector Test to settle peoples opinions . Caller i think a lot of people believe steve wilcos. You have three or four accusers there and he is not, it will come out. Host aside from the Lie Detector Test, is there one person you believe . Believe it is unusual that all these things come out just before the guy is running for the selection. It is a little questionable. Sudden i dont know. I think we could get it settled really easily. If moore would be willing to go on the sea wilcos show in the accusers wooden, that would settle the matter. Host about 15 minutes for the segment. The attorney general will appear before the House Judiciary Committee today at a hearing that is scheduled to take place at 10 00. He might be questioned about a possible special counsel to take a look at actions by Hillary Clinton concerning uranium. They include on the website, a copy of the letter that was sent to Bob Goodlatte. Heres the letter from the department of justice. That is part of the letter you can find online through Bob Goodlatte judiciary committee. James, hello. Caller good morning. I have an issue with the timeline in this until i heard the reporting that he had admitted that he got in touch with all the mothers and a new he was going out with them. A 30 year old man in a 14 euro girl, that doesnt add up. He was banned from the only mall. As far as the timeline and people waiting, people got to realize this meant was a position of authority. Even at that point. Imagine a 14yearold girl being threatened by an attorney. I have no doubt in my mind he is a pedophile and should be in jail. Host massachusetts, we will hear next from michael. Go ahead. Caller i just want to say, i think what about meism coming they see bill clinton did this 20 years ago, well louis c. K. Did this a year ago. We have to accept a child molesters just seems crazy to me. It is about the whole is she just came out now pretty was a systematic thing didnt think they could come out and say this happened to me because your entire lives were on the line. The fact that people are coming out and saying within the past year, me too, enough is enough, it makes sense this woman would come forward now. Host do you believe the women then . Caller definitely could with that many women coming forward, what do they have to gain . They have nothing. They are not looking to book deals. All they did was go on the record and say, yes, this happened. Host lets go to north carolina. Mike, go ahead. Caller thank you for taking my call. I have a question to address. Where is the due process . Where is the theory of innocence until Proven Guilty . His name was from the very start. I think its a plot to justify the millions they spent against roy moore. They need to take this case to a special prosecutor. Something smells fishy about this. , she probablys knows a million liars. I am saying there needs to be due process. Something to make him resign. I hope he stands in their. This to conclusion. Dont rush to judgment. Give this man a day in court. Host on twitter, one viewer says if you want to make thoughts on twitter, that is how you do that. Pages of the wall street journal ask a look at tweets that were recently sent by donald trump jr. In connection with contact he made with wikileaks saying here is dennis in australia. Independent line. Caller good morning. When they have had 40 years to complain and theres only four weeks out, i think is highly suspect. Clients. T is no strong if he has committed an offense, that is not very good but have 40 years. Host tell us about interest in the story from australia. Caller i follow u. S. Politics quite a bit and it is quite exciting. Donald trump has a strong following in australia. A lot of us are very pleased ofh the change administration to a republican administration. Host how are you watching us . Throughfox television cspan. Host i dont know if that is the network. Thank you for calling us. Caller fox is our cable provider. Robert, he is in arizona. Hypo. Caller im going to bore everybody with the truth and history of how this country was formed. Take andd on violence, on the time element. We talk about the time, how are you going to bring this guy up to trial and try him and say, he is running at the same time . At trial takes a long time. When you take stuff, you leave women pregnant and then you talk about, all these children cannot be aborted. This is very serious stuff. How about all the abuse . Are we try to obtain civility . That is why we have government and that is why i believe in mandated voting. To the point caller federally funded elections just equity fund wars. Host who do you believe . Accusers. Course, the why would anybody say anything. When a person is very powerful, they have all the attention, they have all the power and when they abuse somebody, have to wait for the time element. It never gets to them. Host we will go to don in california. Caller i want to talk mainly this latest accuser of judge moore. Her story doesnt just isnt possible. Hit anyone who works at a restaurant knows that when a restaurant is open and when it is closing, the doctor area is not a lonely place. There is always someone having a smoke, watching something or dumping garbage. That would be the last place that he would drive up to try and pull anything on her. Also, this woman your own admission, she said that her boyfriend at the time had a terrible temper. It could be that this guy beat her up and in order to explain her bruises, she made up this story. That is the story she has been sticking to all of these years. Also, lastly on this whole thing, all of these politicians pretending to be so upset at roy moore, we have a sitting senator menendez who is on trial for bribery. It included under age prostitutes and he is still sitting in the senate. This is just a bunch of stuff made up by people who dont like his politics. And they are not honest enough to say that. Host done mentioned senator bob menendez, a story coming out when comes to the jurors deciding on this, they cannot agree. This is quoting the juror next up is susan, mclean, virginia. Caller good morning. Thank you so much. I wanted to mention one thing about this situation that my 17yearold High School Son and i were talking about. As awful as this is, i am a woman and he loves his grandmother and he said that if anybody did anything like this, they should go to jail. Our second amendment, the american constitution guarantees an individual to a right of a fair host are you still there . I think you broke up. Lets go to sherry, des moines. And the. Caller good morning. What i have got to say is i dont believe the women. Number one, what parent is going to let their 14yearold, 15, 16 go out with a 30 somethingyearold man . I cant understand why all these women get up there with gloria and they read. I wouldnt have to read the stuff that happened to me. I wouldnt have to sit there and read and cry and all of that. I would come out and say it. Ajo, the democrats ajo, the democrats, they have sold their souls to satan. That is all of got to say. Host dylan from alexandria, are you there . I think are on people are applying the wrong standard here. Innocent until Proven Guilty and something we give when we are taking somebodys rights. Is for a privileged to be your senator. The whole idea of due process doesnt apply to him. We as voters make a judgment based on everything that we know. Forget this innocent until Proven Guilty krapp. Just go with what you think. Host what judgments have your right at . Caller i believe the women 100 . The Details Behind his last victim who came forward is amazing. Anybody who would complain and say it is 40 years later, people dont talk about this. I was groped once and i didnt talk about it for years and years. I went home and try to forget it. I cannot believe that people would blame women the way they do. It is really infuriating. Host that is the last call we will take on this topic. More open phones to come as we continue on pete we do have guests scheduled including fred upton, republican representative from michigan. A group of legislators working to pass legislation for daca.

Washington journal continues. Host this is fred upton, representative from a skin. From michigan. Good morning to you. Guest good morning. Host remind viewers what is daca . Guest the president said that he wanted congress to fix this program. It is run by executive order. Congress, do your job and lets figure out a way to deal with these hundreds of thousands of kids, many of them come in at age 2, 3, 4, years old. Gone through our Education System, they have jobs. Registered, all of that. Without a legislative fix, they could be forced to go back to a place they dont even speak the language. There is a Bipartisan Group of folks that is working to have some legal way for them to be able to stay. Theres a couple of working groups. Im a part of a group called problem solvers. We have had a lot of discussions and we are meeting this afternoon. The idea is, maybe before the end of the year, but certainly at the beginning of the year, we need to have a legislative solution that we can move through the house and senate, get to the president that he can sign to give some assurance to these kids. Host is there a legislative solution . Guest i think there is. Presently if they dont have a violent record. This is not a pathway to citizenship but it is a pathway to legitimacy and being able to stay here. I have met with a couple of daca kids. They are fearful. They have seen some of their fors being deported out maybe even running a traffic light. They dont know what the story is. They want some resolve. They are right. As i have found, our telecom meetings, my meetings back home in michigan, theres a pretty Strong Majority of democrats and republicans that say we need to fix the problem. Host is the ace bill is there a bill . Guest there is not a bill i guess you can say there is a bill, the dream act. I am going to be supportive and is less of a legislative act. Theres a lot of instructive work that is being done behi
