let's go to roy moore and doug jones. you mentioned they did not want roy moore to one and veters in alabama wanted him to win. well at least republican voters wanted to see him win. do you think we'll see more candidate on screams like roy morris or left like banners sanders moving to 18. >> i think you'll see more on the republican side. seems like democrats have lineup of mostly moderate and established candidates for 2020. yeah i think you'll see a lot more of that on the republican side. because party seems insuch disarray. young people are tweeting the party. >> it's interesting to hear you say that only because, again, you can make argument they're in disarray but they still run the white house, house and senate. it's a fascinating dichotomy right now. >> yeah, and they run the white house. they run the congress and one bill so yeah it's fascinating to watch. it's a party that really can't decide what it wants to be in the future. >> okay. >> jared labor i appreciate you staying up late and always seeing you. >> on

for roy moore's opponent. doug jones. >> one of our attorneys is a jew. >> jimmy: the truth is, i just wanted to show that clip again. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and that won't be the last time, that's not going away. it's hard to imagine who the people are that are watching this all happen and nodding along approvingly, but there are people who are. and my guess is a good number of them watch pat robertson on "the 700 club." this is a show you probably haven't seen, but we monitor it regularly. it's been on i think since three years before tv was invented. [ laughter ] apparently in all that time, pat robertson, the host of the show, has never heard of avocado toast. >> this looks fascinating. all these beautiful pictures of all these nice things we can eat. >> right? and they're delicious recipes too. and one of the simplest ones is one of the most powerful for your brain. >> what's that? >> avocado toast. >> come on. >> yes. and i eat it every morning for breakfast. >> wait a minute. that's a piec

three in 2010, colorado, nevada, and 2012, two, indiana, missouri and of course, roy moore. bannon, when he cost them another state? mississippi, for instance, i could put up there. >> i hope alabama was a blow to steve bannon's theory you can run any loathsome kook and win a general election. it's not a new phenomenal, began before steve ban and in part because of republicans against, they're not the blue blazers tie types anymore. they are the anti-establishment party, which involves oftentimes not just rejecting the establishment's judgment about candidates but rejecting conventional norms. >> this is important. mk connell and ryan are no more in touch with the base of the party than trump with the establishment? >> right. and who did president trump speak to after the roy moore loss? he spoke to steve bannon that week. so he still sees him as a touchstone to his base. and to your point. does bannon take a look at that race and say hey it was the candidate? no. we need to work harder. we'll emboldened, energized and know what to do in the next race. the challenge, obvious

and the difference with roy moore is he really needed that senate seat because the margin is so thin. and what he said and i suspect is right even though he was afraid moore would lose, he wanted to support him to keep the majority, too, in the senate. and that's different things we're talking about. after all he's a casino owner. if you remember that great line in casa blanca, i'm shocked, shocked there's gambling in this establishment. casinos are not churches. i'm not sure what happened with moore and his staff, but you don't usually go to a casino to read a book. >> yes, not too sure how to answer that. >> the problem is that you have attractive young women offering drinks and so on. the whole point of casinos is that kind of part of vulgar -- it is what it is. but, you know, it isn't a puritan establishment. so i'm sure these allegations are fair and decent. i think steve wynn was right to resign from the republican national committee. but is this terribly surprising? i would have to say no. i mean trump ran a casino, too. it's just a different world. >> we'll see how the allegat

if steve bannon was that popular, why isn't roi moore the senator of alabama. kennedy: because he was an alleged child molester i guess. let's talk a little bit about, where do we go from here? does bannon have to undo this presidency? does he know where the bodies are buried? does he have the kind of insider knowledge that is so important for presidents to keep quiet that now the lid has been blown off of pandora's box is the president going to face holy hell. >> this comes down to steve bannon, his character, honesty, integrity and who knows what those factors are. i don't know steve bannon. if it's true, then steve bannon has an obligation to stand forward, say him the job, condemn donald trump and stand as other people have in history. scott mcclen land did that. let steve bannon stand on that ground if that's what he thinks and let people judge whether bannon is right or trump is right. what i predict is that steve bannon is going to deny it. i think he's going to say the quotes were fabricated. he didn't say them. to abandon steve bannon. kennedy: you alr

one candidate he got behind, roy moore. that was a disaster and that turned a whole lot of people against him in the aftermath after that. and the people he had been supporting and wasn't clear he was going to have a lot of muscle, including money muscle. and provide real support in terms ofmon tower support for roy moore. there is a lot of talk, this is a lot more plus ter than reality. this movement has been around a lot longer than steve bannon. it started back in the election of 2009. and there was the rise of tea party movement. and candidates were getting involved. they are going to exist whether bannon is there or not. this is a challenge. this is a party that is trying to figure out how we work together and work together and bannon and trump have been successful at creating chaos and sowing covers and taking the anger of voters and pushing it into elections, winning elections that way, but no one has figured out how to build something. they used it to blow stuff up. they are still out in the country. and in a couple

he defeated roy moore in the narrow upset victory some weeks ago. that is now going to make this a 51-49 republican let's than it, as slim a margin as you can imagine. squeeze on anyhe major republican initiative they tried to do this year without bipartisan support, infrastructure the president says he wants. welfare reform and entitlement cuts that paul ryan has indicated he may try to push for. the senate will be were a lot of legislative efforts hit a wall or find bipartisan support. mitt romney change his location from massachusetts to utah and lived in utah for several years but an indication he is thinking about running for the seat and does not want questions about his residency. vonnie: thank you for that. shery: time for the bloomberg business flash. a former executive for a capital management group has been trucks with fraud, michael:, the one-time head of european operations was charged with defrauding one of the hedge fund firm's clients involving investments in africa. the sec sued him last year, alleging he oversaw a bribery scheme th

. >>> remember when roy moore's wife boasted one of their lawyers was jewish? well, about that. "thing 1, thing 2" is next. jimmy's gotten used to his whole room smelling like sweaty odors. yup, he's gone noseblind. he thinks it smells fine, but his mom smells this... luckily for all your hard-to-wash fabrics... ...there's febreze fabric refresher. febreze doesn't just mask, it eliminates odors you've... ...gone noseblind to. and try febreze unstopables for fabric. with up to twice the fresh scent power, you'll want to try it... ...again and again and maybe just one more time. indulge in irresistible freshness. febreze unstopables. breathe happy. >>> "thing 1" tonight, alabama senator-elect doug jones will be sworn in tomorrow becoming the 49th democrat in the upper chamber and the first senate in democrat in 25 years. roy moore has yet to concede despite lose big tens of thousands of votes and after a judge threw out his lawsuit alleging voter fraud. doug jones' margin of victory increased to nearly 22,000 votes. today we got a little more information on the returns from that r
