judge roy moore has been judge roy moore for 20, 30 years. he's been the same guy maybe that's why he won so well last night. he did so well last fight despite some of his -- >> how about john meacham, the climate change analogy, metaphor, you can call eight bulkannization, republicans are certainly seeing it now. in some ways you can point to being an outsider. he ran a lot like trump ran, he was the outsider. trump was an outsider running against the traditional orthodoxy of the party. roy moore did that and grabbed some of the things in the early 2000s with democrats. it will be interesting to see. you are pushing both parties, it comes to a place where it's very difficult to govern. i would ask john the question. you talked about this being an interesting moment. what parallels do we have in recent or that matter distant times where you find the country at a place where it looks as if the establishments in both parties, the republicans are dealing with it in a more pronounced way after this race and it looks as if some others are probably

he will come to roy moore. he is facing doug jones. democrats much more optimistic about-fa facing roy moore. it will be difficult to democrats to win in this very red state. >> let's bring in our political panel gregory, wes lowry and reporter at large and editor -- reporter and editor at large, the point, cnn politics chris cillizza. i'm sorry i didn't get all 18 titles right. let me ask you something here. donald trump is right. it is embarrassing he couldn't get the person he said he could across. and luther strange had ground to make up because of the political culture at play with roy moore. roy moore, couldn't you look at him as evidence of what happens when you start scratching at the areas donald trump has and make certain issues saleable politically again. roy moore is steroids version of donald trump in a lot of these cultural wars he likes to stoke. >> 9/11, degradation, and a lot of people including republicans would find those views objectionable. this is what is fascinating about where we are. this is a tiger that donald

instead roy moore won the race. moore who was removed as alabama chief justice twice is an anti-gay birther who says muslims shouldn't allowed to serve in congress and that the september 11th attacks may have been america's punishment. moore's win is just the beginning. >> you're going to say in state after state, the people that follow the model of judge moore that do not need to raise money from te leehe elites, new york silicon valley. >> in the wake of moore's victory, trent lot told the "the new york times," quote, every republican senator had better get prepared for a challenge from the far right. target number one will be the gop establishment, frequently mitch mcconnell. times reporting that senior gp strategists concludeds that the conservative base loathes its leaders in washington the way it detested president obama. bob corker yesterday announced his retirement. ambitious politicians are plotting primary challenges that will likely turn very very ugly. as for roy moore, current republican senators are al

chief justice roy moore

roy moore was $3.5 million from the mcconnell aligned super pac just went in against roy moore alone. >> i want to be play you a little sound byte here because it's twofold. you're going to hear any beginning i ask him about mitch mcconnell and whether he'd be able to work with him in the senate. and the second about his controversial remarks he's made in the past. >> who do you think you'd be able to work with mitch mcconnell at this point. >> i can work with somebody that wants to do something right. as long as they want to do something right in the conservative way, i'll work with them. when he violates the constitution, i don't care who he works for. >> there's a lot of concern over your past controversial remarks and that the democrats are going to try to -- >> well, people always concerned about remarks when they're taken out of context and when they're associated with other people that i didn't say. so we'll take each issue as they come up. i'm prepared to go at it with the democrats and we will because we have plenty of -- and we'll tack to the election. but i'm not going into

and even trump came out against roy moore. they see him as a flawed candidate as well. >> alabama is one of the reddest states. is it a waste of resources for democrats to go in that state and try to play? >> look, we know alabama's tough. i'm not suggesting there's an easy path. what i'm saying is there is a potential path especially the good candidate we have. nobody is suggesting this is a cake walk. it would be a hard fought fight. we do believe when the people of alabama look at this race, they're going to be looking primarily for a senator who has character and integrity and we know roy moore is not that candidate. >> senator, before i let you go, nbc news -- i got to ask you about this. at the university of chicago polled a bunch of millennials asking about their opinions of the political parties here. just 26% of millennials see the republican party favorably. 58% unfavorably. but the numbers for democrats, i know you can't see it, but they're not great either. 43% favorable. 42% unfavorable. this is exactly the demogr

former chief justice roy moore decisively winning. beating his rival luther strange backed but the president and mcmcconnell. it could spell trouble in the midterm elections. also, president trump defending his response to the hurricane in puerto rico and brushing off claims that he was distracted by his feud with the nfl. the president now says that he will travel to the hard-hit island negatives week. >>> after another staying defeat on obamacare, president trump is hoping to deliver on awe different campaign promise, tax reform. the president traveling to indiana to lay out his tax plan. we will ask lawmakers if the plan is truly reform of the tax system or just a tax cut. >>> the irs now sharing information with special counsel bob mueller about key trump campaign officials as he investigates possible tax and financial crimes. this as we learn mueller's team could start interviewing white house staff this week. we have all the news covered. live in montgomery, alabama. what a big hit down there. >> it really was. moore won with a

former judge roy moore toppling luther strange in last night's runoff. safe to say the republican leadership did not sleep well last night. breitbart said establishment gop brought to its knees. roy moore put it this way, he's going to help bring america back in line he says with the christian bible. >> we wouldn't be having the demonstrations and riots and division in our society if we returned to one nation under god as it was. some people see god as a religion. he's not a religion. he's real. if he hadn't given us our rights, there would be nothing there for government to secure. >> this is a massive political defeat for president trump and for the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, despite spending $10 million in ads and sending the president in himself along with the vice president, the establishment's pick still couldn't pull off a win in alabama. he was backed by breitbart's steve bannon who promises alabama, just the beginning. >> you're going to see in state after state after state, people that follow the model of judge moore that don't nee

roy moore is a very controversial candidate. he could be politically difficult for president trump as this heads into the general election race. this is someone who's referred to islam as a fake religion, who's maligned homosexuals as well as people of color. so the politics get very tricky for the president, steph, moving forward. >> tricky is a very nice way to put it. i want to bring my panel in. heidi przybyla, kate kelly who covers wall street for "the new york times" and jason johnson, politics editor at theroot.com and an msnbc political contributor. as always, we're here to help at msnbc, so if you don't know roy moore well, in addition to some of that information kristen just shared, i want to share that roy moore has said that 9/11, september 11th, was god punishing perverseness. that's right, that's what roy moore thinks. so jason, let's start with you. let's say this guy wins in december. not what does this say about roy moore, what does this say about what's happening to the united states of america? >> stephanie, t

they went with roy moore. i think there might have been a sense there in alabama in the grassroots, the conservative grassroots that trump's heart wasn't really in it with luther strange when he was down there at that rally last friday. at one point he mused maybe i made a mistake here about endorsing luther strange, those words made it into an ad for moore at the very end. a lot of supporters i think liked donald trump, maybe thought trump was trying to wink at them a little bit. but he couldn't sell the establishment candidate to the antiestablishment base. that's interesting. looking forward, though, this is a race now, remember there's a democrat, there's a general election, it's going to be in december. and this is a race that democrats i think are going at least look at because, as we say, roy moore, he's a lightning rod candidate. he can be a little inflammatory with his statements, he can be a lot inflammatory with his statements. there was one poll that came out yesterday that tested both of these rep

roy moore is anti—gay and anti—islam. mr trump says he's a great guy. no surprise. iraqi kurdistan has voted for independence. we'll be live in irbil to find out what happens next. we'll play the latest bbc report from syria. this was islamic state's capital, but it now feels that raqqa is is's graveyard. we'll hear from those who campaigned to end saudi arabia's ban on women drivers. you can get in touch to the hour with any comments on the stories we're covering. political pressure on donald trump for several reasons today. the first is criticism of his response to the hurricanes that hit puerto rico. criticism he doesn't accept. we are unloading on an hourly basis massive loads of water and food and supplies for puerto rico. this is unlike florida where we can go right up unlike florida where we can go right up the spine or like texas where we go right down the middle and redistribute. this is, you know, a thing called the atlantic ocean. this is tough stuff. most of the weekend mr trump's preoccu pations into the nfl and the row he was having over his comments a

he said roy moore is a great guy. you can have differing political views, but to put this in perspective, i want to share things that moore has done in the past. he believes homosexual conduct should be illegal. that september 11 was got punishing perverseness. and he said president obama was not born in the united states. and muslims should not sit in congress. so people can believe whatever they want to believe, but let's just point out things this individual has said and president trump just characterized him as a great guy. joining me now vaughn hilliard just down the road from the victory celebration last night. and steve kornacki. vaughn i want to start with you because i believe you were at that victory speech. what to do out to me when he spoke, it seemed like his central theme was making the point we should not separate church from state. that's a wow. >> reporter: exactly, stephanie and ali. i think that's what we're looking at here. the ascension of roy moore is twofold for the republican party. really two

they're defiant saying the president is going to support roy moore. he is going to come to washington. he will back the president's agenda. but to what extent does this call into question president trump's ability to have influence over these elections? we know he can get people to the polls himself, but what about these down ballot races? >> if you are running for senate next year, roy moore's claim on the nomination in alabama has been unsettling. they now believe, whether fair or not, they will have to respond to judge moore's comments which are at times incendiary and they think he could be a political burden for them next year, and as republicans confront this environment with roy moore type candidates emerging in the country, senators like bob corker may choose to step aside and avoid the anger on the left and the right. >> robert, just to follow up on that point, i know you're watching a couple races, in particular arizona, nevada, mississippi where is these anti-establishment picks could be gaining traction and could get a fresh look today. >>

but yes, that's roy moore. and you might be thinking trevor, didn't trump win either way? even if his guy didn't win, roy moore sounds exactly like a trump kind of guy, you know, defying the law. unrefined views on race, uses religion to just fie his bigotry which is true. but one of the most important things that happened during this race, and the reason trump is so humiliated is that he asked his supporters to vote for someone. and instead, they voted for his opponent. which is weird. and what was weird is they said that they did it in trump's name. >> when you walked in that voting booth tomorrow, a vote for judge roy moore is a vote for donald j. trump. >> trevor: now i don't know if you see what just happened there. but this is like what happened to bern ye sanders last year. remember, he said tois voters, vote for hillary and then a lot of them went no. we're with bernie. and he said yeah, i'm bernie. i'm telling you to vote for hillary. and they were like that's not what bernie would do.t wn old man. we're with bernie! yeah! it's it's weird. and thanks to the race i

roy moore with a solid lead over luther strange. and the last three polls show luther strange behind with roy moore in a double-digit lead. and my colleague vaughan hillyard is out on the campaign trail. talk to me about the donald trump voters here. because as i've been reading the reports you have been filing, it is interesting not all of them feel compelled to vote for donald trump's pick. >> reporter: good morning, hallie. it is dizzy trying to draw where the battle lines are in the race. off couple blocks down the way, steve bannon appearing at the rally for the former chief justice of the alabama supreme court, roy moore. and up north in birmingham, you have mike pence giving a speech. we talked to a lot of voters at the roy moore rally and then around fair hope that say, we still support the president, but in this particular situation, it's not about him but roy moore himself as opposed to luther strange. here's sound from a local realtor here. because there's another name she throws out and a name not unfamiliar to those aro

republican luther strange versus republican roy moore. president trump has thrown his support behind the incumbent senator strange. recall he stumpped for strange last week. >> that is why i'm here tonight to ask the good people of alabama to send luther strange to the united states senate so he can defend your interests, fight for your values and always put america first. go out and get out the vote. >> strange also has the backing of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell the one person who has become a persona nongrada in this ways race. republican moore has something behind him as well the president's former chief strategist steve bannon stumping for him. >> when you walk in that voting booth tomorrow, a vote for judge roy moore is a vote for donald j. trump. >> wrap your mind around that one. pause for dramatic effect. let's go live to kaitlan collins in birmingham for the latest. so is this luther strange versus roy moore or now more like donald trump versus donald trump's base? >> well, it's really not steve bannon versus the presi

but yes, that's roy moore. and you might be thinking trevor, didn't trump win either way? even if his guy didn't win, roy moore sounds exactly like a trump kind of guy, you know, defying the law. unrefined views on race, uses religion to just fie his bigotry which is true. but one of the most important things that happened during this race, and the reason trump is so humiliated is that he asked his supporters to vote for someone. and instead, they voted for his opponent. which is weird. and what was weird is they said that they did it in trump's name. >> when you walked in that voting booth tomorrow, a vote for judge roy moore is a vote for donald j. trump. >> trevor: now i don't know if you see what just happened there. but this is like what happened to bern ye sanders last year. remember, he said to his voters, vote for hillary. and then a lot of them went no. we're with bernie. and he said yeah, i'm bernie. i'm telling you to vote for hillary. and they were like that's not what bernie would do. sit down old man. we're with bernie! yeah! it's it's weird. and thanks to th

roy moore's win not the only body blow for republicans. a tennessee senator bob corker announcing he will not seek a third term next year. once considered a key trump ally he traded insults with the president during the august break, but president trump had encouraged him to run for re-election in 2018. his decision to retire creates the first open senate seat of the 2018 election cycle. >>> president trump intensifying and publicizing his personal involvement in the growing crisis in puerto rico. he's been criticized for a lackluster response for the devastation inflicted by hurricane maria. now there's an increased urgency. the president plans to travel to puerto rico across that big ocean next week. >> it's a very big ocean. we're told he demanded aides set up that trip after his homeland security advisor returned from the island. the white house says the president made it clear there is no such thing as overresponding ordering all elements of the government to plan for the long-term support of puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands an

spoke to roy moore of alabama last night for the first time. sounds like a really great guy who ran a fantastic race. he will help to #maga. why does any of this matter? the issue of donald trump squaring off against steve bannon's candidate. and roy moore has said things so controversial and outside the boundaries of civilized discourse even in the time of trump that we can't show you his past comments on september 11th, birtherism, islam or muslim. he's described as a firebrand jurist, best known for denying a judge's orders to remove a ten commandments monument. let's get to the latest from the political blow. glen thrush, megan murphy and commentary magazine editor john pedoris, a newly minted msnbc political contributor. whoever thought you'd be an msnbc contributor. the times -- >> times are crazy. things are crazy. >> all right. let me just tell our viewers that if the president goes off script and says anything related to any of the big stories we're covering today, we will turn that around or we'll go right back to the president live i

toge roy moore to rhinos,, to fight the to take america back. remember, these three things matter the most. can i treat you all as my personal friends? just 600 of my closest buddies? can i ask you to do me a favor? days, will youur go out, talk to people. don't get preachy. don't get on a soapbox. but tell people what the stakes are. tell them it is the november -- tell them it is november the eighth again. they can choose corruption or they can choose america! thing.one make sure it is not just you and your loved ones or your family that goes to the polls. family --one of your for everyone of your family that goes to the polls, take three more people. people that aren't well, that don't have a car. the car broke down, it's too far away, that can't be bothered, get them to the polls, because you know the other side well. i will leave you with one thought. the choice is a very simple one. on the one hand, you have a man who has proven through his life, his dedication to this nation, and to the values upon which this republic was founded, you hav

roy moore in this race. so trump's candidate already finished behind roy moore in the preliminary by six points. the third candidate eely na lel threw support behind moore. you have palin rallying around roy moore. he's popular with the conservative grassroots in alabama. and you have luther strange, in a lot of ways, the face of the establishment. you mentioned mitch mcconnell in washington backing him. now the former republican governor, robert bentley, who left the office under shady circumstances, he appointed luther strange. so this is who donald trump is trying to push across the finish line. big rally today. keep this in mind, though, we talk all the time about donald trump's approval rate nationally. 37% in the latest gallop poll. that is not to write home about. you look in alabama, he's more popular in alabama, over 50%. that's not that bad. but here it is. this is an alabama republican runoff next tuesday. among alabama republicans, almost 90% of them like donald trump. so we will see. this is one

lou: the president fully supporting roy moore. roy moore putting a standard in the ground. we are seeing some reaction in washington, d.c. beyond bob corker who decided not to seek reelection to his senate seat. do you think we'll see more mitch mcconnell senators seek refuge or sanctuary, if you prefer? >> yes, it's time for so many of these republican establishment types to take a knee and take a hike themselves. i think we'll see that ripple effect. in the case of alabama with roy moore. it's not just that he was anti-establishment. the voters in alabama trusted his record on traditional values and sovereignty, and it's perfectly in line with this important battle that president trump has drawn a line in the sand to. it's about standing up to america. and we'll see it in other races. particularly in arizona where jeff flake has been on the wrong side of so many issues faces scene outsider. he is beyond -- he's inexplicable. let's turn to another inexplicable group, the players, some 1,600 of them. their ownership and management. taking leave their senses and insulting am

voters are voting for strange because trump gave strange his endorsement or voting against roy moore. people voting for strange because he's luther strange, relatively few hard to come by. i will say roy moore voters are supportive of the presidents and they say his endorsement did not shake their support of him, but they are very strongly in favor of roy moore and there is a sense from voters they felt like the president should not have gotten involved in this primary. host: mr. lyman, you talk about polling what is turnout going to be like? guest: office expect its to be low. they last week projecting about 12 to 15%, that could -- like that could change, estimate consist vary. but the turnout for the primary on august 15th was only 18%. generally speaking, no one is expecting high turnout rate at this point but again, like we'll see where it takes us. host: does that benefit one man over the other? guest: higher turnout would benefit strange, who needs voters in jefferson or suburban birmingham. turn out rates follow moore, whose followers show up for him no matter what the situati

and he would likely go campaign for roy moore if roy moore wins this primary. he said it all out loud. you don't even need background sourcing on that, which is helpful. but i think in terms of the republican party, for future primaries, tuesday is a very big and very clair fig moment. >> we are grateful he doesn't have an inner voice. but to phil's point, if roy moore wins, we will see more challengers, won't we? >> yes, well, it will also be interesting in roy moore wins and he has pulled ahead, when people repeat exactly what the president just said, that he was unable to pull him across the line, and he said, that's unfair. that will be an interesting moment. >> who told you that? >> but i think this is a test of whether it's sort of the troughian instinct and the anti-establishment, you know, fire of the republican party is actually stronger than real trump, standing in front of alabama voters. and we've seen reporting and it does not surprise me at all that many of the rallygoers are pro-trump and came to see trump, but are not pro-luther strange. and it'

ed: judge roy moore is going to win. he's leading well and the turnout is indicating places where his people are turning out in great numbers. what the president will find is a populist president who did not endorse the populist candidate. lou: i think the president did something in his speech last friday. he managed to discuss the race, and i think he was so clever in his positioning that no matter the outcome tonight the president will win and have a candidate that he can support. so that's pretty adetroit. ed: his supporters will win. because they are in the trenches. lou: the president versus the nfl leadership. they are left wing. they are telling the american people to go to hell, we'll insult you and your anthem and make millions of dollars while we do it. ed: they are going to lose the privilege and the millions of dollars. "the national anthem" is a critical part of every football game. we send troops there span jets there to honor our veterans and the flag. the nfl that is oh p.r. conscious doesn't know that. m
