My Mom Worked At BuzzFeed For A Day - Duration: 5:42.

I recently started a little support group,

the JMA group, the Jewish Mothers Anonymous group.

(audience laughter)

Last week we were talking about weaning our sons

off of breast feeding by the age of nineteen.

(audience laughter)

(light music)

Alright guys, so I recently got a job at BuzzFeed

and my mom, she made faces,

she doesn't think it's that hard of a job

she's not impressed.

It's an arts and crafts job

that you get paid for.

You have to make a video today.

Yes, I'm up for the challenge.

You think you'll do well? Yes, I know I will do well.

And then you're going to perform stand-up.

Okay, how many minutes?

Five minutes.

Five minutes?

Okay, I can talk for five minutes.

I'm funny, people laugh at my jokes.

I kill me.

Tell me one funny joke right now.

So the guy goes to the pharmacist,

he puts his penis on the table,

puts a dollar next to his penis.

Nope.

Nope nope.

My mom does this terrible Seinfeld impersonation

that just, she finds hilarious.

What's the deal with taxi cabs?

(laughing)

I'm going to have the best time

at BuzzFeed, I think it will be just fun

and exciting and interesting

and the time is just gonna fly by

and I'm gonna produce a 25 million views video.

So this is the BuzzFeed reception.

Espresso mild, espresso bold, espresso bland,

americano, double espresso.

I had to make several coffees

because this was a very complicated process.

Okay, this one is better.

I don't know what to do with this one.

I'm gonna trash it, carefully.

I have to go find my safe space

and be productive.

This is productive workspace.

It's like a (beep) dreidel.

Oh my god how do I get off this chair?

Alright, I think I'm ready.

I'm ready for this.

I can do this, I can't hear anything.

I'm deaf. Whoa.

It's dying.

Oh here it is.

Oh shit, it's under the table.

This is not intended for my age group.

I need a rest. I need a nap.

I need lunch.

So I did a little research on kind of

what you guys do well,

what are the good statistics.

And it seems that videos that have animals in them go viral.

That's true. Right.

So I was thinking, how cool would it be

if we did a video where people

act like certain animals for a day?

And you know, like I'd go like this,

and like do that kind of stuff.

Or like I could be a dog and go like

pet me pet me pet me. Uh huh.

Oh yeah.

So we could do rooster people,

we could do a cow person, like.

(sped-up speech)

What has been the best idea recently at Buzzfeed?

Farts in a jar off eBay.

And had people smell them, so.

Maybe that, is that getting juices going in your--

I could do it without the jar.

Can we do farts without the jar?

Just smell farts?

(laughing)

People smell farts?

Maybe we can do a video where

you try to recognize your relatives

by the smell of the fart.

This is very challenging.

I need to actually find people to film

in this ridiculous video that I'm doing.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a cast, for guys who can recognize

the farts, or girls, of their significant others.

Oh.

Would you be willing to be my cast?

He's married. He's married?

So he should definitely be able to help you out.

No?

You know I hate to admit it,

this was not as easy as I thought.

I got my idea approved, so that was good,

I got to that point, but then the equipment

completely threw me off.

So I'm gonna focus on my stand-up routine.

So that I can at least succeed in one part of this task.

Here's the thing at comedy mic.

We really just want to be

the most supportive mic in New York City.

(beep), it's a full house.

I was not envisioning a real place,

I thought that this was going to be staged

and scripted, and it's (beep) not.

And there's like real people in there.

Our next comic is making her comedy debut.

(audience applause)

Give it up for Irine Tabach everybody.

Hi guys.

Yeah, I have to figure this out.

How do you use this?

My son came out to me.

This is still a little sensitive, you know,

I'm from the old country,

a different generation,

totally different upbringing.

He sat me down and told me that he's

not going to medical school.

(audience laughter)

So my son took me to take your parent to work day.

I kid you not, they have that at BuzzFeed.

It was like a really cool daycare for older kids.

(audience laughter)

Yeah, they do arts and crafts projects all day

and they get paid for it.

(audience laughter)

Everything free, free coffee, free candy,

free massages, free alcohol,

play room, game rooms.

You know, I grew up in the former Soviet Union

but I found communism at BuzzFeed.

(audience laughter)

Okay, that was pretty impressive mom.

I was very surprised with myself.

Actually, people laughed.

Have you learned anything from today?

I've learned that my son actually

has a very challenging job

producing these viral videos.

These guys are very talented.

- [Eric] My mom's got a new special coming out

on Netflix, it's called--

- [Irine] I kill me.

Death Date Announced For The Internet - Duration: 8:41.

AJIT PAI IS HEAD OF THE FCC, THE FEDERAL INDICATIONS

COMMISSION, AND HE'S HONESTLY A CORPORATE HACK.

HE USED TO WORK

FOR VERIZON, GOT PAID A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THEM, THEN

REPUBLICANS PUT HIM AT THE FCC TO MAKE SURE HE CHANGED THE

RULES IN FAVOR OF COMPANIES LIKE -- VERIZON.

IT'S NOT JUST THEM,

IT'S AT&T AND OTHER INTERNET PROVIDERS.

NOW, THE REASON YOU

HAVE THE INTERNET AS YOU DO NOW, WHICH IS FREE AND OPEN, IS

BECAUSE THERE WERE REGULATIONS PUT INTO PLACE.

THE REGULATIONS

DO NOT GO AND INTERFERE WITH THE INTERNET, IN THIS CASE IT'S A

REGULATION THAT SIMPLY PROTECTS THE INTERNET, THAT SAYS THAT

COMPANIES WHO HAVE THE PIPES GOING INTO YOUR HOUSE CANNOT

THEMSELVES REGULATE THE INTERNET UNFAIRLY, AND SLOW DOWN SOME

WEBSITES, SPEED UP OTHER WEBSITES, AND CREATE AN UNEQUAL

INTERNET.

ALL IT DOES IS PROTECT THE INTERNET.

SO AJIT PAI WAS

BROUGHT IN TO DESTROY THAT, AND IN MAY HE GOT HIS FIRST VOTE

THAT HE WANTED, TO BEGIN TO END NET NEUTRALITY.

AS WE GO THROUGH

THIS EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY THE RIGHT WING IS ACTUALLY OPPOSED

TO HIM, THE ONES THAT ARE ONLINE, AND WHY THEY ARE RIGHT.

FIRST LET ME GIVE YOU WHAT HAPPENED TODAY --

NOW, LET ME BEGIN THE EXPLANATION FOR THE

RIGHT-WINGERS.

YOU MIGHT SEE THAT AND SAY IF REPUBLICANS LIKE

HIM I SHOULD LIKE HIM, AND OBAMA ERA REGULATIONS, SCARY -- OBAMA

DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THE INTERNET COME HE JUST PASSED

REGULATIONS SAYING YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE INTERNET,

DON'T CHANGE IT.

NOW, WHY SHOULD THE RIGHT WING BE MORE CONCERNED

THAN THE LEFT?

LOOK AT ALL YOUR ALT RIGHT GUYS, THEY SAY THINGS

THAT GET THEM BANNED FROM WEBSITES LEFT AND RIGHT, AND IF

GIANT CORPORATIONS ARE REGULATING THE INTERNET THEY

WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELL TO EVERYBODY.

THEY WON'T WANT TO

HAVE THESE RIGHT-WINGERS SAYING CRAZY STUFF ON THE INTERNET, AND

ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE TAKING ON THE ESTABLISHMENT IN THEIR OWN

PARTY OR MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, THEY AREN'T GOING

TO WANT THAT AT ALL.

YOU GUYS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE THROWN

OVERBOARD, AND THEN THEY WILL COME FOR US.

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY

ARE CORPORATIONS, THEY JUST WANT TO MAXIMIZE THEIR PROFITS.

AND

IF YOUR WEBSITE IS HINDERING THEIR PROFITS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE,

OR FORM, YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU?

THEY

ARE LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED TO CARE ABOUT YOU.

OF COURSE THEY WILL

SLOW DOWN THE WEBSITES YOU LIKE UNLESS YOU PAY A RANSOM.

YOU

THINK CORPORATIONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

THEY ARE NOT HUMANS.

THEY WILL MAXIMIZE PROFIT BY LAW.

ALONG THOSE LINES, THE HILL

REPORTS --

HEY ALL YOU ALT RIGHT GUYS, YOU HAVE ALL THE CASH IN THE

WORLD TO GET INTO A FAST LANE?

I DIDN'T THINK SO.

SO IF YOU DON'T

PAY FOR THE FAST LANE THEY CAN NOW, IF IT PASSES, THEY WILL

HAVE THE FINAL VOTE ON DECEMBER 14, IF THIS PASSES THERE'S NO

MORE NET NEUTRALITY AND THOSE COMPANIES CAN SAY, ONE, YOU

DIDN'T PAY ME A RANSOM, NOW YOUR SITE IS INCREDIBLY SLOW.

LOOK,

NOW THEY CAN'T GO ON YOUR SITE, THEY CAN GO ON MY SITE.

TO THOSE

COMPANIES HAVE A GIGANTIC WEB PRESENCE?

OH MY GOD, HUFF POST

IS PART OF VERIZON, YOU RIGHT-WINGERS, HUFF POST WILL BE

SUPERFAST AND YOUR WEBSITES WILL SUCK.

THEY JUST TOLD YOU, THEY

WILL BE ABLE TO THROTTLE THEM ALL THE WAY BACK.

SO WHY AM I

FIGHTING FOR IT IS A PROGRESSIVE?

BECAUSE I BELIEVE

IN AMERICA AND THE INTERNET AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SHOULD BE

THROTTLED.

WE'VE GOT PARTNERSHIP WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST

COMPANIES OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET, AND WE'LL SEE HOW

THINGS TURN OUT, WE MIGHT BE TOTALLY FINE.

BUT IT IS A

TERRIBLE IDEA OVERALL, A TERRIBLE IDEA FOR THESE

CORPORATIONS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REGULATE THE INTERNET BY

THEMSELVES WHEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN VOTE FOR THEM.

THEY AREN'T

ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU.

MORE ON THIS.

JESSICA ROSENWORCEL,

AN FCC COMMISSIONER, SAID --

PHILOSOPHICALLY, THIS IS

ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THE

GOVERNMENT CAN DO.

BECAUSE LOOK AT TV, BOTH FOR THE RIGHT-WING

AND LEFT-WING, YOU THINK THEY REPRESENT YOU?

THEY ARE ALMOST

ALL MILLIONAIRES ON TV.

AGAIN, IF YOU ARE A BERNIE SANDERS

SUPPORTER OR A REPUBLICAN, YOU THINK ALL THOSE GUYS ON CABLE

NEWS VOTED FOR YOUR CANDIDATE?

CANDIDAT I WOULD SAY

APPROXIMATELY 148 OF 150 VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON, AND ALL THE

GIANT CORPORATIONS WHO BACKED HER.

THEY ALREADY OWN TV.

BUT

THE INTERNET, IT IS PESKY WITH ITS FREEDOM AND OPENNESS AND

EQUALITY, THEY ARE COMING TO CRUSH IT.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT

BACK.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY COMMENTS HAVE ARTIE BEEN SENT TO THEM?

22

MILLION.

THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

SO I THINK WE HAVE TO SHOW UP,

WE HAVE TO GO TO THEIR HOUSE.

NOT THEIR PHYSICAL HOUSE, THEIR

OFFICE.

LET ME EXPLAIN WHEN THE, REAL VOTE IS, TODAY THEY TOOK

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD BUT --

ON DECEMBER 14 THE FCC BUILDING SHOULD BE SURROUNDED.

I'M A PROGRESSIVE, I BELIEVE IN NONVIOLENCE, BUT I BELIEVE IN

POLITICAL ACTION.

THE ADDRESS FOR THE FCC IS 445 12TH ST SW,

SHOW UP NOW.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S ONE GUY WITH A SIGN, 100

NURSES, 1000 TEACHERS, WHOEVER IT IS.

FROM THIS DATE TO

DECEMBER 14 YOU SHOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU EXIST, AND YOU

WANT A FREE INTERNET.

THIS PHONE NUMBER IS ANOTHER WAY TO REACH

THEM, NO OTHER CALL SHOULD GET THROUGH.

LET THEM KNOW.

AND

FINALLY, LOOK, I DIDN'T DIG THIS EMAIL UP, IT'S ON THEIR WEBSITE.

WE SENT 22 MILLION COMMENTS AND AJIT PAI APPARENTLY BURNED THEM

IN SOME CAMPFIRE, DOESN'T CARE.

HA-HA, 22 MILLION PEOPLE WANT A

FREE INTERNET.

YEAH BUT THE GUYS WHO PAID ME BEFORE AND THE GUYS

WHO WILL PAY ME AFTER I LEAVE THIS JOB WANT ME TO SELL OUT THE

INTERNET, SO THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO.

SO HERE IS HIS

EMAIL, AJIT.PAI@FCC.GOV.

LIKE I SAID, THIS IS PUBLIC

INFORMATION, YOU COULD HAVE FOUND IT ON THEIR WEBSITE AS

WELL, I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING YOU CAN'T SEE IN PUBLIC.

BUT IF THEY

IGNORE 22 MILLION AMERICANS, I GUESS THEY HAVE TO SEE YOU

BEFORE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE REAL.

SO, LOOK, I WISH I

COULD HELP MORE, I WISH I COULD STOP EVERYTHING AND GO FIGURE

OUT A WAY TO ORGANIZE RALLY ON TOP OF RALLY, I'M HANDING IT

OFF.

I'M HOPING YOU CAN BEGIN TO DO THIS ON YOUR OWN OR HAVE THE

RIGHT WING ORGANIZE THE RIGHT, THE LEFT WING ORGANIZE THE LEFT,

MODERATES DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO, BUT STOP BY THE FCC AND

BEGIN THE PROTESTS NOW.

ON DECEMBER 14 THEY SHOULD HEAR YOU

ROAR.

AND IF THEY STEAL THE INTERNET FROM YOU, AT LEAST LET

THEM KNOW YOU AREN'T GOING TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT. AND

SHAKE THE RAFTERS A LITTLE BIT.

I Wore "Thong" Jeans For A Day - Duration: 3:58.

- I feel like a doll that a mean older sister took

and then like ruined her clothing.

(upbeat music)

- I was looking online and I found these high fashion

Thong Jeans that debuted at Amazon Fashion Week in Tokyo.

They're basically just jeans with everything

cut off of them except for the seams.

My first thought was, Sara's gotta try these.

So I went and tried to find them but it seems like the only

place that the designer sells is within Japan.

So I am going to DIY them.

Let's do this.

Honestly, this seems like a waste of perfectly good jeans.

They are complete.

I'm gonna go find Sara and make her try them.

- [Chelsea] I made them for you

- Oh my God.

I'm gonna put these thong jeans on

and I don't know why I agreed to do this.

Can you imagine not wearing anything with these?

You would be seeing everything.

Fight.

I look like a video game character

because video game characters always are wearing outfits

that you're like, "Why?".

People of New York City always surprise me

with how much they like the weird pants I put on.

So this time I'm gonna guess that

they're absolutely love the thong jeans.

What do you think of my pants?

- Are you sure those are really pants?

- Yours are like my jeans on steroids.

- I'm even surprised you can call them pants,

but I like them.

- Wow.

- It's all about deconstructionism really.

Obviously, this is breaking it all down

and then you know, not building it back up.

Just leaving it down.

- I think they're interesting and cute and fun.

I think it depends on what you're wearing underneath them.

- A bitch knows to layer in Manhattan.

- Where would you see these pants again?

- The beach would be great.

- What you're doing is perfect with these pants.

- Museum Installation.

- Amazing.

So you're basically saying these jeans are a work of art?

- Maybe if you like wore it to the beach,

just like an easy over thing.

That'd be kinda cute and sexy, I guess.

- So what would you call these?

- I think I'll go with fake pants.

- Fants.

- Outline Jeans.

- Rags.

- Oh my God.

- Strip tease jeans.

- These are, the internet is calling these thong jeans.

- Fun pants.

- A g-string.

- G-jeans, like g-string.

- What celeb can pull this off?

- Rihanna.

- Rihanna will walk outside and go to the Grammys

with this and we'd be like, "Oh my gosh, yes."

- Taylor Swift.

- Tina Turner, for sure.

- Jaden Smith would pull this shit off.

- Sansa, from Game of Thrones.

- Lebron.

- I'd like to see him dunk with these.

Do you guys think that this is a trend that will catch on?

- Definitely make parents not happy and kids love that.

- Maybe if you started this beginning of summer,

it's possible.

- Wear them confidently and have your friends wear them

and let's see how it spreads around.

- I have a lot of old pairs of jeans

that I don't know what to do with them.

So if I cut them up, yeah, I can see it happening.

- You look great, you do.

- I'm back in from wearing the thong jeans out.

It was an experience.

I'm not really into these pants,

but I'm still very happy that I went out

to the streets of New York City

and asked people what they thought.

Because people are really nice and friendly

and even if they were mean about the jeans,

they were nice to me and they made me feel good.

The young man I interviewed said that

I was pulling them off because I have confidence.

Which is not something I really felt

but apparently I exuded it.

So, that's good to know, that maybe

even if you don't feel confident in what you're wearing

you can look confident and that's enough.

Alright, well, I'm gonna take them off now.

I mean, or I just leave them on

'cause it's like I'm wearing nothing anyway.

(laughing) That was so lame.

- Alright, this is a commentator on society,

take her seriously no matter what her fashion choices are.

That's a very personal and individual subjective thing.

You can not really judge someone

based on their fashion statement.

- Thank you so much.

What would the AT&T-Time Warner merger mean for consumers? - Duration: 5:29.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The Department of Justice announced it is suing to block a mega-merger between

media giants AT&T and Time Warner, a deal initially valued at $85 billion.

It is the first major antitrust case taken up by the Trump administration.

Lisa Desjardins has the story.

LISA DESJARDINS: The Justice Department said this merger would have harmed consumers.

AT&T fired back and said it will challenge the government's move in court.

Some observers have openly wondered if the decision is influenced by the president's

continuing battle with CNN, which is owned by Time Warner.

A short time ago, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said he didn't know if CNN played into the

decision, but it was an open question.

David Shepardson of Reuters has been covering this story, and he joins me now.

David, wow, what a story.

Let's start with these two companies.

At their core, they don't compete.

They're related businesses.

But why is DOJ arguing that they violate antitrust laws?

DAVID SHEPARDSON, Reuters: So, you're right.

These typical vertical mergers, companies which don't directly overlap, generally, those

go through.

But in this case, the Justice Department is saying that the combined company would have

too much power.

AT&T owns DirecTV, a big pay TV subscriber.

It obviously owns mobile phones.

And it would be able to use that content to charge its rival distributors, like Comcast,

hundreds of millions of dollars more per year, as well as pass those costs on to consumers.

So the big argument is going to be, will a judge buy that a larger, vertically consolidated

company pose a threat, or is it a better competitor to new companies like Netflix and Amazon?

LISA DESJARDINS: AT&T fired out a very fiery statement.

They call this a radical and inexplicable departure in the law.

Is this unprecedented as far as the Justice Department goes?

And what is AT&T saying in response?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: So, it is not unprecedented, but it's been about 50 years since the government

took a vertical merger to court.

And, certainly, by comparison, in 2011, the Obama administration allowed Comcast to acquire

NBC Universal, a similar vertical merger.

But a lot has changed.

There are serious concerns about the -- will companies get too large, have too much market

power?

But, on the other hand, AT&T says, look, this is settled law.

If you look at the marketplace, given all the competitors, people are more limited in

the ability to raise prices in this competitive marketplace.

They deny the government's allegations.

But it goes back to the central question about whether then candidate Donald Trump's opposition

to the merger and his criticism of CNN were a factor in this decision.

LISA DESJARDINS: You keep bringing up vertical merger.

And I know a lot of folks will be hearing that.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

LISA DESJARDINS: But let's talk about the scope of these two companies, what they own.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Sure.

LISA DESJARDINS: They have massive influence in U.S. and global life.

And can you talk about why they wanted to get together in the first place and what the

effect would it be if they did?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

You're absolutely right.

This is a huge company.

Beyond DirecTV and AT&T's mobile service, Time Warner owns HBO, TNT, CNN, a lot of -- a

studio, big assets that make a lot of content.

And so AT&T's argument has been to compete with Facebook and Google, the companies that

are getting huge control of the advertising market on the Internet, that they need to

be able to use the data from these three different companies in order to compete with these other

rivals.

So, you know, their argument is, we have to get bigger in order to compete.

And the government's argument is, if you allow them to get this big, they will be able to

deny that content to a rival, and you can only get HBO potentially on DirecTV vs. Comcast,

if they didn't agree to pay higher prices.

LISA DESJARDINS: Right.

You hit on this, so I want to get at what this would mean for consumers.

This might be oversimplifying.

But, to me, it's almost as if Wal-Mart would wanted to buy like LEGOs, a huge product,

two big companies, and they wanted to try and control the market.

How would this affect consumers who, say, get their entertainment not through Time Warner,

through Comcast or another company?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

So, by your analogy, what would typically happen, and what happened in Comcast, NBC

Universal is the Justice Department asked for behavioral conditions.

That is, the company -- Comcast had to agree not to treat how it used that content differently

than other companies, other rival distributors.

And, in fact, AT&T had raised questions about that in 2011.

So, you know, the difference is here the government is not seeking a behavioral condition, but

rather to sell off certain assets.

They asked AT&T to either sell off DirecTV or Turner Broadcasting, which includes CNN,

so to get smaller, rather than agree to behavioral changes.

LISA DESJARDINS: We don't want you to have that opportunity to affect those marketplaces.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Right.

LISA DESJARDINS: Quickly -- I'm sorry to make this a short question -- but can you talk

about the CNN factor here and the timing of that?

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Sure.

Well, just last week, President Trump was again criticizing CNN.

As you know, as a candidate in 2016, President -- then candidate Trump said he wouldn't allow

the merger to go through.

Since then, he's not directly commented on it, but AT&T is clearly going to make whether

the president exercised influence over the Justice Department as a result of his anger

with CNN as part of the case.

That's really an open question whether a judge will agree.

LISA DESJARDINS: David Shepardson, what a case, at Reuters.

Thank you for joining us.

DAVID SHEPARDSON: Thank you.

I Got Heckled By A Comedian For A Day - Duration: 6:09.

How long have you been in a cult?

What's it like to be a Chia human?

You look like you could stick your finger in a socket

without having stuck your finger in a socket.

(upbeat music)

I volunteered to let a comedian heckle me

all day tomorrow.

He's gonna come to my house.

He's gonna wake me up.

He's gonna spend all day with me.

I'm kinda looking forward to it 'cause I like company,

but I also feel like it might get really annoying,

especially if his jokes are bad.

My name is J. Chris Newberg and I've been a comedian

for 18 years.

Throughout my career, I've been heckled from time to time,

but I've never had the joy and pleasure

of heckling someone back.

I volunteered to do this because I think I have really

thick skin and I like good comedy.

I imagine he'll just be like, observing what I do

and making fun of it.

I can't imagine it could get that personal because

how would he know anything about me?

I've never met this guy.

I've done some extensive research on Jordan.

I've looked online at his Facebook and Instagram

and Twitter profiles.

I've talked to his friends.

I've talked to his coworkers.

I've talked to his ex-girlfriend.

I'm comin' at him.

I'm not really sure how I'm going to feel,

'cause I hate everything hecklers represent.

I'm gonna try to be mean,

but I'm not a mean person.

But, fuck him.

It's 7:53 in the morning.

I found Jordan's place.

I'm with Kelly.

She's a producer at Buzzfeed.

She's gonna be followin' me.

We're outside

his apartment.

It's pretty good so far.

It's uh, pretty dirty.

I don't understand the science of this decor.

Like, what girl doesn't come in here,

see this,

and then just leap right off the balcony?

Here's Jordan killing it,

from when he played a young Carrot Top.

I wonder which one of those socks are his girlfriend.

- [Jordan] Hello.

Hey buddy.

(laughs) Super excited to be here

with the third baseman of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Dude, I don't even know who the third baseman is

of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Look in the mirror, buddy.

So, what's it like to be the body double for sadness?

People do say I have resting sad face.

So, I heard you and your girlfriend just broke up.

True. Good for her.

Damn, getting some--

Gettin' deep. Yeah, and you're

putting on your girlfriends. What?

You'll understand later.

How long have you played bass for Mumford and Sons?

You're flossing on the day that you're going to the dentist.

Isn't that like cleaning your house before you have

a cleaning lady come over?

Which, obviously, has never happened.

So, you're putting product in right now?

Mmhmm. That's cool.

How long have you been a before model?

You're like the most handsome of all the Keebler elves.

We're going to the dentist.

You're gonna let him drill ya?

Well, hopefully not. (playful music)

Hopefully, I won't need any drillings.

Maybe just some poking.

Minimal poking, hopefully.

That's cool.

That was my nickname in high school.

Do you find that you're on Tinder most of the time

during sex?

What are your favorite dating apps?

Tinder is the tried and true.

What's your opening line usually, on Tinder?

I don't use repeat opening lines

'cause I think that's insincere.

I use their profiles to come up with opening lines.

What was your favorite that you've ever used?

Oh man, I had a really good one recently.

It didn't get a response and I was bummed about it.

Her profile just said I like people, places, and things.

And, I said, what you got against adjectives?

They probably have very nice things to say about you.

I thought that was pretty good.

It's weird that that didn't get a response.

So, do you still talk to Harry Potter?

Do you get sad when some of your personalities

won't talk to you?

Would you fuck yourself for money?

A-ha-ha-ha-ha, you suck at parking.

So, I've got my first break from getting heckled,

and so far he hasn't gotten under my skin.

Nice guy, I like him.

- [J. Chris] Any final words before they tell you

that you have nine cavities?

I'm really hopin' they don't tell me that.

You're doing so good, Jordan.

(instrument motor running) Hopefully, they'll give you

a little plaque.

What'd you have for lunch?

I had like a chicken pita thing.

It's so hard to be mean to you.

It's just so hard, because everything

that you do is just nice.

Like, there's nothing weird about

having a chicken pita for lunch.

I'm at Jordan's desk now at Buzzfeed.

So, seriously, what happens in the finale

of Game of Thrones?

Dude, you know we're not allowed to talk about that.

I'm here also with Destiny,

his desk neighbor.

What's it like bein' around Jordan all day?

He's a great guy.

Really nice, really quiet.

Kinda sits to himself. No, I said Jordan.

Gettin' ready to go down to the Laugh Factory from The Den.

Gonna get on stage and do some jokes,

and Jordan is gonna heckle me like I've heckled him all day.

Hey, what's up.

How's is goin'?

I'm in pretty good shape.

I'm in really good spirits.

I've lost a lot of weight, ever since I quit--

Is that the shirt you picked?

(playful music)

Did you just pick up the first t-shirt off the floor

that you'd already worn like three times,

and decide, that's the shirt for my set?

(playful music) Uh, yes, actually.

That's what I did.

I decided that.

I asked this girl out once,

and she was like, all right, cool.

But, I want you to know one thing: I'm in AA.

I was like, all right, that's cool,

then you can drive,

'cause I'm gonna get hammered.

I bet she still didn't text you back.

Do you ever notice that sitting down and standing up

sounds a lot like sex?

'Cause you're always like,

oh my god!

It makes sense that you have no idea what sex sounds like.

Aren't you sitting in a booth alone?

Yeah.

I just childproofed my house,

and by that I mean I purchased condoms.

Tell a funny joke. (playful music)

You're all about not laughing at your shit joke?

(laughing)

- [Kelly] So, do you guys feel closer now?

I definitely think that he should answer that first.

Because he knew all these things about me,

and was sort of like digging at them,

I felt like a certain closeness.

Like, oh this person knows me,

and then, throughout the day spending the day together,

I felt like we sort of had a mutual understanding

that we're both going through this experience together.

I think the most frustrating thing

about heckling a nice guy is,

you kinda feel like an a-hole,

because you don't really mean it.

It's like, here's this nice person,

who's just going about their day,

and they're at the dentist and I'm like a-ha, you suck!

I would definitely hang out with you

in real life. Yeah.

I think that'd be fun.

I would do it as long as I didn't have to

come to your apartment.

(rock music)

(whipping and creaking)

I Wore Makeup For The First Time In 13 Years - Duration: 6:02.

I just know that I'm just gonna smear it all over my face

(upbeat music)

The last time I wore makeup was

probably when I was in high school.

I was part of an orchestra performance,

I was one of the percussionists.

When I was a kid, I dressed like a boy,

a lot people thought I was a boy for a long time.

I kinda grew out of it but not completely.

It was just never something I wanted to do.

Formal events, or things like that,

I never really got to the makeup part

because just putting on the dress was like a hassle enough.

This year, I've been trying to do things

that are outside my comfort zone.

Maybe I will like some of it, I don't know.

Texted my fiancé about, that I was gonna do

this video he thought I was joking.

I do have an acne problem, if anything,

maybe I'll come across something might help me with that

I don't know, cover it up.

Not touching my face is probably

gonna be one of the biggest things I'll struggle with.

I just gotta do it!

(upbeat music)

Keep your eyes open and look down.

Eyes open, look down. Mhmm.

Okay, hold on (laughs)

Yeah take a second.

(upbeat music)

My eye is watering now.

(upbeat music)

I don't want to see it, if I don't see it,

then I won't know what it looks like,

and I'll be able to go out and do whatever.

Oh gosh.

Oh man.

I think it looks weird (laughs)

Um, because my eyes are like really,

I don't know, it just doesn't look like me.

It looks a lot better with my glasses on (laughs)

It just looks like everything's smooth, I guess.

I like the fact that it evened everything out,

the acne isn't as noticeable and I'm not shiny,

which is desirable for a lot of people (laughs).

Coworkers and friends here, I think they'll probably like it

I think mostly it's just the fact that

I feel like I'm just gonna, just get my hands all up in it.

Alright so, let's go see what my coworkers think.

Do you see anything different about me?

Your eyebrows look different.

Your eyebrows are darker And your eyes

look so different, ahh!

I feel like it's a really, really natural look.

Like it's not like Bozo the clown.

Oh my God

- [Madeline] So Gabby's never seen me wearing makeup.

Never. You look amazing.

Thank you.

But it's like very natural, I love it.

Thanks!

The blush!

You think I look different?

Yeah, I mean, I noticed right away.

Whoa, what?

I'm wearing makeup.

Dude, it's like, it's absolutely perfect.

I'm learning that you need to

be aware of your make-up.

Well I just went to lunch and I learned the difficult task

of eating with stuff on your lips.

It doesn't seem to have smudged all that much

but it definitely felt like it was smudging

and I was hyper-aware of it the entire time.

Your eye makeup is fantastic.

I really like it.

I feel mullet, I'm all fancy on top,

all casual on the bottom.

I just finished this whole drink

without getting lipstick on the straw.

Oh yeah.

I liked it 'cause it matched my shirt.

My face is itching and I wanna, I wanna rub my eyes,

so there's that.

I'm leaving the office for the day

and I survived a day wearing makeup.

It felt more like I was wearing a great Halloween costume

that I felt comfortable in

but expected to go home and change.

It feels okay now, it felt pretty heavy right off the bat.

- [Madeline] So how do I look?

Oh, wow.

Your eyes are like, that's the definitely

the most noticeable.

Did they do your eyebrows?

(laughs) Yeah.

What'd they do to your eyebrows?

They look like,

Do they really?

No.

From this distance, it's not that noticeable.

It's the eyes.

I think I ate most of the lipstick throughout the day.

What do you think, Buzz?

He smells it.

I can't seem to get it all off my eyes.

It wasn't near as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

I expected to really, really mess it up throughout the day,

but surprisingly it all stayed in place

and it was kind of difficult to wash off.

Would consider wearing makeup more in the future.

Foundation, I was, you know, happy with that.

It did cool stuff, made my acne go away,

you know, you're not seeing as many creases or whatnot.

It's uncomfortable because you go out

looking a certain way everyday,

you start doing something different,

it just, it takes a bit of getting used to.

I'm glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone.

I did something new and I did learn something.

Before I really was not interested in at all,

but I know for the future now that I,

there are some things that I could learn and could use.

And would be happy with.

What limiting foreign trade would mean for the U.S. economy - Duration: 9:21.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It's one of the great economic debates of our era: Should Americans continue

to globalize through trade?

President Trump argued the U.S. is prepared to go it alone during his trip to Asia, but

is this feasible in the 21st century?

Paul Solman reports for weekly series, Making Sense.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: No longer will we allow other countries to

close our factories, steal our jobs and drain our wealth.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

PAUL SOLMAN: That was Donald Trump in Arizona in August.

And here he was in Vietnam just last week.

DONALD TRUMP: We are not going to let the United States be taken advantage of anymore.

I am always going to put America first, the same way that I expect all of you in this

room to put your countries first.

PAUL SOLMAN: For President Trump, putting America first means replacing multilateral

trade deals, which he thinks are unfair to the U.S., with one-on-one deals.

His evidence that America is getting ripped off by globalization?

Our $500 billion annual trade deficit, half-a-trillion more that we buy from abroad than we sell.

DONALD TRUMP: With Mexico as an example, we have a trade deficit of $71 billion.

That's NAFTA.

We have trade deficits with China that are through the roof.

They're so big and so bad that it's embarrassing saying what the number is.

PAUL SOLMAN: Shortly after taking office, the president visited a star American exporter,

Boeing, to hype its hot new product, the 787 Dreamliner.

DONALD TRUMP: That is one beautiful airplane.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

DONALD TRUMP: Congratulations to the men and women here who have built it.

What an amazing piece of art.

What an amazing piece of work.

PAUL SOLMAN: So, what is this meant to illustrate?

SIMON JOHNSON, MIT Sloan School of Management: This is the supply chain.

This is where Boeing gets its major pieces for the 787.

PAUL SOLMAN: That's former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson and the pre-assembled pieces

of the Dreamliner.

SIMON JOHNSON: So, this is Japan, and we have got a big piece of fuselage coming in from

Japan, and from Italy, we have a slightly smaller, but still important piece of fuselage.

You're going to take the cockpit made in Kansas.

PAUL SOLMAN: And so that goes up here.

SIMON JOHNSON: And you're going to add the tail piece, which is coming out of South Carolina.

PAUL SOLMAN: South Carolina.

SIMON JOHNSON: Now, hold on a minute.

From China -- this is very important -- you still need the rudder.

PAUL SOLMAN: Putting the plane together is a fantastic feat of American know-how, says

Johnson.

But the product itself is a thoroughly global division of labor, in which firms around the

world specialize and become, well, world-class at what they make and send our way.

SIMON JOHNSON: But we're not done.

You're still missing a few pieces.

PAUL SOLMAN: Wings flown in from Japan.

Horizontal stabilizers from Italy.

Landing gear from Simon Johnson's country of origin, Great Britain.

You're proud of these, are you?

SIMON JOHNSON: Some of the best wheels that Britain has ever produced, absolutely.

(LAUGHTER)

SIMON JOHNSON: And we can offer you, as an option available on the final model, this

fine Rolls-Royce engine, although, of course, you have your choice of GE engines, should

you so choose.

PAUL SOLMAN: Moreover, says Johnson:

SIMON JOHNSON: By having all these suppliers around the world, you're also persuading them

and their governments and their airlines to buy your plane.

So, we have got the Chinese buying the plane, we have got the Koreans buying the plane.

We have the Indians buying the plane.

They make a part of the floor actually of the 787.

And we have got the Japanese buying a lot of these planes.

This is creating the global market.

This is what's making it possible actually to develop and have a 787.

PAUL SOLMAN: For obvious reasons, airlines in countries with 787 parts suppliers are

Boeing's biggest and most reliable 787 customers.

Japan's purchase of 787s means close to $20 billion of revenue for Boeing all by itself.

So, part of Boeing's strategy is to get all these other players, countries, into the game

by locating production in those countries.

SIMON JOHNSON: It's absolutely about getting them into the game.

Beyond that, it's about the size of the global market.

How many of these planes can you sell and to whom?

PAUL SOLMAN: But the argument is that, as we outsource to all these companies and countries,

we are, and are we not, losing American jobs?

SIMON JOHNSON: There are absolutely some good jobs developing in this supply chain, but

there's a lot of good jobs are staying in America, they're staying in Kansas, they're

staying in South Carolina, they're staying in Seattle.

And, in fact, the existence of those jobs is made possible by the global market that

Boeing creates through this network of suppliers.

So, supply side and the demand side are intertwined in this industry.

PAUL SOLMAN: But let me be very specific.

Right now, there's an argument about whether or not we should stay in NAFTA.

And it looks like we're going to leave the North American Free Trade Agreement.

What have you got there?

SIMON JOHNSON: And here comes Aeromexico.

PAUL SOLMAN: Why Mexico?

SIMON JOHNSON: Well, they are part of this conversation.

They sell to Boeing and they buy planes from Boeing.

Certainly, tearing up NAFTA would be -- make a lot of this kind of relationship difficult.

DONALD TRUMP: I told you from the first day we will renegotiate NAFTA or we will terminate

NAFTA.

PAUL SOLMAN: President Trump has been loud and clear, so, too, his top trade adviser,

economist Peter Navarro.

PETER NAVARRO, Trump Economic Adviser: You have got GM and Ford over the last few years

taking billions of dollars to invest in new assembly plants in Mexico, rather than in

Michigan.

Why did they go to Mexico?

Because of aspects of the unfair trade deal of NAFTA.

PAUL SOLMAN: Is there any advantage at all to any of these trade deals?

PETER NAVARRO: Consumers are considered winners, but I would argue that they're much bigger

losers when it comes to jobs and paychecks and tax base than they are getting a few cents

off at the Wal-Mart buying cheap made-in-China.

PAUL SOLMAN: But, so far, the other countries in those multilateral agreements don't seem

interested in one-on-one deals.

Increasingly, America first looks like America alone.

So, I asked economist and historian Adam Tooze: Could the United States go it alone economically?

ADAM TOOZE, Columbia University: Well, it's a hypothetical question, but, if any economy

could, it's probably the United States, because it's so large, it has so much internal climatic

diversity, it has natural resources, the science base, the productive capacity.

PAUL SOLMAN: , So we can make anything, we can grow anything?

ADAM TOOZE: Yes, absolutely.

And you have the capacity to innovate things that we don't know of yet that might serve

as substitutes for things we have decided no longer to import from abroad.

PAUL SOLMAN: So, then, why not go it alone?

ADAM TOOZE: Well, there are huge costs to exiting an efficient division of labor with

the world economy.

PAUL SOLMAN: Conservative economist Peter Morici is even more blunt.

PETER MORICI, Former Director of Economics, U.S. International Trade Commission: We'd

all be very irritable by 10:00 on Monday morning.

Where would we get our coffee?

We grow a little bit of it in Hawaii, but, largely, we are dependent on imports, and

can't grow it here.

PAUL SOLMAN: But coffee?

I mean, how big a deal is coffee?

PETER MORICI: Really?

(LAUGHTER)

PETER MORICI: There are a lot of things that are not that big a deal, but Americans are

accustomed to them.

What I'm trying to say is, is that we'd have a much lower standard of living if we wholly

went it alone.

There wouldn't be the incentive to be competitive.

There wouldn't be the incentive to innovate.

So, on many fronts, America would be simply backward.

PAUL SOLMAN: Consider the old Soviet Union, says Morici, satirized in this 1980s Wendy's

commercial

ACTOR: Is next, evening wear.

NARRATOR: Having a choice is better than none.

ACTOR: Is next, swimwear.

PETER MORICI: It's a classic example of what happens when you try to limit trade with the

outside and do it all yourself.

It's one of the reasons that the standard of living, even today in Russia, is so low.

Once you fall behind, it's very difficult to catch up again.

It's free trade that gives us the modern consumer economy.

PETER NAVARRO: The Trump trade doctrine is this.

America will trade with any country, so long as that deal meets these three criterion.

You increase GDP growth rate.

You decrease the trade deficit.

And you strengthen the manufacturing base.

PAUL SOLMAN: Finally, we put the question to Simon Johnson.

What about the argument that, if there's any country on Earth that can go it alone economically,

it would be the United States of America?

SIMON JOHNSON: We have the largest single economy, but we're only 330 million people.

This is a world of seven billion.

If you want to make something really big, really innovative, like the 787, you need

the entire global market.

You need access to all seven billion people.

PAUL SOLMAN: For the "PBS NewsHour," this is economics correspondent Paul Solman, reporting

this time from pretty much everywhere.

Roy Moore's HORRIFIC Explanation For Allegations - Duration: 7:45.

>>ALTHOUGH MANY REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS ARE AT LEAST

TENTATIVELY DENOUNCING ROY MOORE WITH A LOT OF IFS AND POSSIBLIES

AND WE'LL SEES, IN THE WAKE OF CHARGES THAT HE ENGAGED IN

RELATIONS WITH UNDERAGE GIRLS, INCLUDING THE MOLESTATION OF A

14-YEAR-OLD, CONSERVATIVE MEDIA LARGELY HAS HIS BACK AS THEY DID

YESTERDAY.

FOR THE SECOND DAY RUNNING, BREITBART, THEIR WHOLE

FRONT PAGE IS THIS IS A SMEAR JOB BY AMAZON, BEZOS, THE

ILLUMINATI -- THIS WAS THE OUTFIT PUSHING THE PIZZA GATE

CONSPIRACY, THEY WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT POLITICIANS

ABUSING YOUNG CHILDREN BEFORE, NOW THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE AN

ISSUE WITH IT.

>>WHEN IT'S REAL.

>>BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, SEAN HANNITY SPOKE WITH ROY MOORE

TODAY, WE DON'T HAVE THE VIDEO OR THE FULL TRANSCRIPT YET, SOME

OF IT WAS BEING LIVED TWEETED.

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE

MOORE SAID A LOT OF STUFF --

>>WHICH HE SAID AS A DEFENSE, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S MUCH OF A

DEFENSE REALLY.

I DATED TONS OF QUESTIONABLY YOUNG PEOPLE.

HE DOES REMEMBER THEM.

>>I HEARD SOME BITS OF THE INTERVIEW, HE ALSO SAID HE

TALKED TO THEIR MOTHER FOR APPROVAL FIRST, OR HE ASKED

THEIR PARENTS SO IT WAS OKAY.

>>IS THAT KNOWING THEM IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE?

I HOPE NOT.

SAYING THAT HE DATED YOUNG WOMEN BACK THEN AND KNEW THOSE TWO

BASICALLY IS ADMITTING THE CHARGES THAT HE CLAIMED WERE

LIES AND SMEARS, HE EVEN DID A FUNDRAISING EMAIL WE WILL TELL

YOU ABOUT IN A SECOND WHERE HE CALLED THEM LIES, APPARENTLY

THEY WANT BECAUSE YOU BASICALLY ADMITTED IT.

>>HE DENIES THE 14-YEAR-OLD STILL.

>>16, 18, AND COMING AROUND TO THAT POINT WHICH IS IMPORTANT IS

THAT THE LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT IN ALABAMA IS 16, THOSE WOULD HAVE

BEEN LEGAL.

AND GENTLEMANLY, IF YOU ASK THEIR PARENTS ANYWHERE

IN YOUR MID-30S AND YOU LIKE TO DATE 16-YEAR-OLDS.

WE WILL HAVE

TO FIND OUT IF THE GREAT STATE OF ALABAMA IS OKAY WITH THAT, AS

JOHN POINTED OUT, PIZZA GATE, ETC., PEOPLE WERE VERY CONCERNED

ABOUT POLITICIANS DATING VERY YOUNG PEOPLE.

UNLESS THEY ARE

REALLY GOOD CHRISTIANS, IN WHICH CASE MAKING OUT WITH

16-YEAR-OLDS IN YOUR MID-30S IS APPARENTLY AWESOME, BUT WE

WILL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH IN THE ELECTION.

>>YOU ARE JUST EMULATING JOSEPH.

HE ALSO WAS ASKED WHETHER HE

DATED GIRLS AS YOUNG AS 16 --

>>IN OTHER WORDS, YES.

>>IF YOU COMBINE THAT WITH I DATED A LOT OF YOUNG GIRLS, THEN

THAT TOTALLY DOESN'T MEAN YOU DATED YOUNGER THAN 16 AND

CERTAINLY DOESN'T MEAN YOU TRIED TO DATE YOUNGER THAN 16,

BUT IF YOU ARE ROUTINELY TRYING TO SCOPE OUT 16 AND

17-YEAR-OLD GIRLS IT'S POSSIBLE YOU MIGHT HAVE HIT ONE

YOUNGER THAN THAT AT SOME POINT.

AGAIN THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEFENSES OF HIM.

HE ALSO SAID --

>>IN OTHER WORDS, HE DATED A LOT OF YOUNG GIRLS IN THE DAY.

>>WE ARE A LITTLE BIT JOKING BUT YES, WHEN THESE THINGS COME

OUT IT MAKES OTHER PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE PERHAPS TALKING,

IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT MORE COULD.

ALSO ROY MOORE SAYS THAT

HE HAS --

>>I GUESS THE IDEA BEING THAT THESE PEOPLE MAKING THESE

ALLEGATIONS ABOUT HIM THAT HE SAYS ALMOST ALL THE DETAILS ARE

TRUE BUT HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG -- THE 14-YEAR-OLD BY THE

WAY AS WE SAT ON THE SHOW YESTERDAY VOTED FOR DONALD

TRUMP, HAS VOTED REPUBLICAN IN THE LAST THREE PRESIDENTIAL

ELECTIONS, HAS NOT WORKED WITH DEMOCRATS, IS INVOLVED IN

COLLUSION TO TRY TO TAKE HIM DOWN?

WE WILL HAVE MORE VIDEO OF

THE DEFENSE OF HIM BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIS DEFENSE?

>>FIRST OF ALL WHEN HE SAYS COLLUSION HE PROBABLY MEANS IT

WAS OPPO RESEARCH GIVEN TO THE WASHINGTON POST, WHICH HAPPENS

ALL THE TIME.

>>WHY WOULDN'T LUTHER STRANGE HAVE USED THIS?

>>LUTHER STRANGE TRIED TO, HE APPARENTLY DIDN'T HAVE THE

14-YEAR-OLD.

HE HAD AN AD THAT WAS REFERENCING HOW LENIENT ROY

MOORE WAS IN A CASE OF CHILD RAPE AND SODOMY.

>>WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY.

>>IT WASN'T SPECIFICALLY THIS BUT HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN JUST

HITTING HIM ON THE DECISION, THE JUDICIAL DECISION.

>>THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF HARM.

>>WHEN ONE WAS FORCIBLY SODOMIZED, I THINK THE KID WAS

UNDER 12.

IT WAS A PREPOSTEROUS, INSANE RULING, MAY BE STRANGE

WAS JUST HITTING HIM ON THAT OR HE MIGHT HAVE KNOWN THIS BUT

DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH AND WAS REFERENCING THAT IN THAT AD.

BUT

POINTING OUT IT WAS OPPO RESEARCH IS FAIR, REPUBLICANS

SAYING IT'S INTERESTING THAT IT'S COMING OUT BEFORE THE

ELECTION, THAT'S FAIR.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS DID HE DO

IT, IN THE CASE OF 16 AND ABOVE HE'S ADMITTING HE DID DO IT, THE

14-YEAR-OLD IF YOU DIDN'T HEAR THE STORY, HE TOOK OFF HIS

CLOTHES, GOT HER IN HER UNDERWEAR, FONDLED HER, AND

TRIED TO GET HER TO TOUCH HIS CROTCH.

WELL, THAT WOULD BE

ILLEGAL.

SO NOW SOME OF THE DEFENSES OF OTHER ALABAMA

REPUBLICANS ARE, WELL, AS JOHN WAS ALLUDING TO, JOSEPH DID IT

TO MARY SO WHY NOT?

LITERALLY THAT'S A REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN IN ALABAMA.

>>THE COMPTROLLER IN ALABAMA MADE THAT COMMENT, HE SAID

IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IT DOESN'T SOUND ILLEGAL.

>>IT WAS TOTALLY ILLEGAL, MAYBE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS

OUT BUT IT'S ILLEGAL.

>>I THINK COLLUSION DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE IF YOU UNDERSTAND

AT ALL HOW NEWSROOMS WORK AT A NEWSPAPER, WHERE THE EDITORIAL

PEOPLE AND THE REPORTER PEOPLE ARE SEPARATE, IN THIS PARTICULAR

STORY THERE ARE 30 SOURCES, NOT ONE OR TWO OR 10, AND IT HAS

NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO THE PAPER ENDORSED OR WHAT THE EDITORIAL

BOARD DID, IT HAS TO DO WITH GOOD JOURNALISTS GETTING OPPO

RESEARCH AND THEN DOING THEIR OWN RESEARCH AND SAYING WE HAVE

30 SOURCES.

DEBUNK ALL 30 OF THEM AND THEN LET'S HAVE A

CONVERSATION.

AND THEY CAN'T.

>>AND OPENING THEMSELVES UP TO LEGAL ACTION, THEY WILL

DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THIS IS TRUE.

>>AND THAT'S WHY THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD IT IN TIME FOR THE

PRIMARY OR ANY OTHER RACE BECAUSE IT TAKES A TON OF

TIME, YOU NOT WANT TO MAKE THESE CHARGES AND BE PROVEN

WRONG, THAT WOULD BE DISASTROUS.

>>LIKE ROLLING STONE.

>>THEY HAD TO BUTTON IT UP WITH 30 SOURCES, THAT'S WHY GUYS LIKE

JOHN MCCAIN HAVE SAID GOOD ENOUGH, HE SHOULD STEP DOWN.

WHILE OTHER REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE ARE LIKE, WHAT IF THEY

Wanting more money for tax cuts, Republicans seek Obamacare individual mandate repeal - Duration: 9:29.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Democrats and Republicans turned the heat up today as they battled over

plans for a sweeping tax overhaul.

It comes as Republicans are growing more confident they can push their plan through quickly,

and are making an even bigger bet on what will be part of the new law.

Our Lisa Desjardins has the latest.

LISA DESJARDINS: To the highly complex, overhauling the U.S. tax system, Senate Republicans now

are adding the incredibly complicated, the health care debate.

SEN.

ORRIN HATCH (R), Utah: Keeping the individual mandate tax in place is meaning retaining

the status quo, which isn't working too well.

LISA DESJARDINS: Top Republicans like Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch now have woven a repeal

of the individual mandate, or the requirement to buy insurance, into the Senate tax cut

bill.

Why?

Repeal the mandate, and fewer Americans sign up for subsidized plans and for Medicaid,

saving the government over $300 billion, which GOP senators want to use for more tax cuts.

SEN.

JOHN THUNE (R), South Dakota: What we're doing here is, we are cutting taxes for low-income

earners, who are being hit hardest by the mandate tax, and then providing additional

tax relief through an expanded per-child tax credit and lower rates in the middle of the

income tax structure, so that middle-income families are going to benefit the most.

LISA DESJARDINS: Democrats are erupting with objections.

SEN.

RON WYDEN (D), Oregon: This tax bill is now officially a health care bill, an enormously

important health care bill, with consequences for millions and millions of Americans.

SEN.

DEBBIE STABENOW (D), Michigan: By trying to use a backdoor approach to repealing the Affordable

Care Act, this bill would cause 13 million people to lose their health insurance and

premiums to go up 10 percent a year.

LISA DESJARDINS: Those are Congressional Budget Office figures.

Republicans argue that those without insurance should get the choice to turn it down.

House leaders are considering adding a mandate repeal as well.

REP.

PETE SESSIONS (R), Texas: The rule provides for consideration of H.R.-one, the Tax Cuts

and Jobs Act.

LISA DESJARDINS: Even as Rules Chairman Pete Sessions and others prepare for a full House

vote on their tax cut bill tomorrow, arguing lower taxes for people and corporations will

spark growth.

REP.

PETE SESSIONS: I think what is going to happen is, you are going to see this boom, this big

opportunity that is already well under way, to continue.

But it is up to us to deliver that.

LISA DESJARDINS: But, yesterday, in front of Trump economic adviser Gary Cohn, some

top CEOs were less enthusiastic.

MAN: If the tax bill goes through, do you plan to increase investment of your company's

investment, capital investment?

Just a show of hands, if tax reform goes through?

LISA DESJARDINS: Few hands went up.

GARY COHN, Presidential Economic Adviser: Why aren't the other hands up?

LISA DESJARDINS: Of course, the raised hands that matter next are those in Congress, where

Republicans in both chambers are moving quickly on what could be an unprecedented sweeping

tax and health bill.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Even as the House moves toward passing its bill, there are still major

issues affecting people's pocketbooks that have to be resolved before a tax overhaul

becomes law.

Health care is, of course, very much part of that mix.

Lisa Desjardins is here with us now, along with Sarah Kliff of Vox.

So, Lisa, let's start with what they're trying to do.

LISA DESJARDINS: OK.

So Senate Republicans wanted more money so that they could pass more tax cuts as part

of their plan.

Putting the individual mandate repeal in their bill gives them more money.

But the problem, Hari, is that it always could cause some destabilization in the individual

health care markets.

So, there's actually a part two of this deal.

Senate Republicans are also saying they will have a separate vote on a bill that would

stabilize the market some.

That's the Murray-Alexander bill that we have talked about in the past that would pay for

those cost-sharing subsidies that the president says he wanted to end and Congress had to

deal with.

Republicans have been holding on to that bill.

They say now they will pass it, but it's part of this package where they would also repeal

the individual mandate.

Those are some things that could have cross-effects, but this is what Republicans are doing, essentially,

to try and put more money into their tax cut bill and say they have done something on Obamacare.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Sara, there are already people lined up saying, we have very strong

concerns about repealing the mandate.

SARAH KLIFF, Vox: Yes, there is a lot of worry that it really would destabilize the insurance

markets.

We saw very, very quickly yesterday a joint letter from the hospitals, the insurance companies,

the doctors, saying, we don't want you to do this.

We think this would be bad for people.

And it's about two things, really, first about people losing coverage.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 13 million people would lose coverage

if the mandate went away.

And the second is about rising premiums.

If there is not a requirement to buy insurance, the expectation is a lot of young, healthy

people would sit out the market and that would raise premiums for everyone else.

If we go back to the CBO, they estimate about a 20 percent to 25 percent increase in premiums

in the individual market.

HARI SREENIVASAN: There's also people concerned about the estimates themselves and whether

we can believe that, whether it's overly optimistic, or whether, you know, the mandate has the

sort of magical solution to this all.

SARAH KLIFF: Yes, this is something Republicans have raised really since the repeal debate

earlier this year, where they argue that the CBO overestimates the effect of the mandate.

They think that this fine really isn't the reason people buy insurance, that there are

subsidies, that people actually want health care.

And it's an issue the CBO is taking seriously.

They had a meeting about this.

They're considering revising their methodology, but it doesn't look like it will be done quite

in time for the current tax effort.

HARI SREENIVASAN: OK, so putting the mandate aside just for a second, there's still a lot

to be hashed out in the tax plan.

There's mortgage deduction, state and local taxes that still have to be sorted out.

LISA DESJARDINS: That's right.

That's just the beginning of it.

That's one of the biggest issues right now that Republicans need to work out, state and

local tax deductions that many Americans get, not just many Americans.

It's actually the majority of Americans, I think, over -- who make over $50,000, and

even 10 percent who make under, take what they pay in their state and local taxes.

They get a tax break on it on the federal.

The Senate bill would end all of that.

But there are some senators who are worried about how that affects their states.

And, of course, in the House, there are many House Republicans who can't support something

that goes that far.

In the House, they would allow a $10,000 deduction on property tax.

So, we will see if these two versions come together.

But as we talk about the health care issue, that's one issue that concerns a few Republicans,

and then there's the separate one on state and local taxes that is still very much in

the mix.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Given all of these costs, Sarah, regardless of whether the individual

mandate goes forward or not, it seems that there's going to be some triggers, mandatory

cuts that are going to happen if they cross over the amount that they're allowed to spend.

SARAH KLIFF: Yes.

This is another thing that came up this week in kind of this growing pile of obstacles

to tax reform.

The Congressional Budget Office put out a letter saying estimating that this would trigger

mandatory cuts, that the tax cuts are bigger than the spending cuts.

And they estimate that this would amount to a $25 billion cut per year to Medicare.

Now, Republican senators, the people Lisa are talking to, they say that, well, this

isn't the final bill.

We're still working on it.

We're trying to sort this out.

This is why we added individual mandate repeal.

But it certainly is kind of a specter hanging out there, and something -- I don't think

Republicans want to see this bill branded as a big Medicare cut.

HARI SREENIVASAN: One of the -- go ahead.

Sorry.

LISA DESJARDINS: Yes, I think that's right.

And that's where we're seeing kind of some doubts.

And they also say they could just sort of vote to remove that requirement in later years.

We will see.

HARI SREENIVASAN: One of the concerns has been that this is a large wealth transfer

from middle-class Americans to corporations.

I mean, that might be overly simplistic, but you can hear that resonating.

LISA DESJARDINS: It's notable that, in the Senate bill, what they did with this extra

money from the individual mandate is they extended the corporate tax cuts, so that they're

permanent, but not the individual tax cuts.

Those would expire in the Senate bill in 2025.

And that's something that they are getting some criticism for.

HARI SREENIVASAN: OK, let's talk about just the politics of it.

Do they have the votes?

How likely is this?

LISA DESJARDINS: Well, it depends on who you talk to.

They seem to have the votes to include this individual mandate repeal.

That seems to be full steam ahead in the Senate.

But for the entire bill, there was one big rut-roh today for Republicans.

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said he cannot vote for it, and not for any of the issues

that we have named yet, but instead for how it handles the smaller businesses, basically

owner-operator businesses.

He says they wouldn't get the same tax cut as corporations.

He can't vote for this bill.

That's one vote down.

That means they can't lose but one more, and we have got people with problems with the

deficit, people with other concerns, like the state and local taxes.

It means it's very close in the Senate right now.

HARI SREENIVASAN: So, Sarah, what about all the concerns that people had, that legislators

had when health care came around the first time around?

Are any of those members of Congress going to stick to their guns about the issues that

they saw were faulty about this, or just kind of say, look, the tax is too big for to us

give up and we have got to vote?

SARAH KLIFF: Yes, I think that's something we're waiting to see a bit.

On the one hand, a lot of the concerns were about process.

We saw someone from Senator John McCain from Arizona, he was less concerned about the content

of the bill and more that it was so rushed.

Now, there has been more process, but it's not a lot.

We're talking about a week to consider the bill, instead of a few hours.

I think someone else to watch would be someone like Susan Collins from Maine, who has voiced

a lot of concerns about the loss of insurance coverage.

And I think she is studying the individual mandate situation pretty closely.

I don't know if she's OK with this loss of coverage of 13 million people, the CBO's estimate.

HARI SREENIVASAN: All right, Sarah Kliff of Vox, Lisa Desjardins, thanks so much.

The predicament of the Alabama Senate race for Republicans - Duration: 10:02.

HARI SREENIVASAN: We return now to the political news of the week.

John Yang gets two different views.

JOHN YANG: Thanks, Hari.

For that, we are joined by Karine Jean-Pierre.

She's senior adviser to MoveOn.org, contributing editor to the online women's magazine "Bustle,"

and a veteran of the Obama White House.

And also Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union and a White House political

director for President George W. Bush.

Matt, Karine, thank you for being here.

MATT SCHLAPP, Former White House Director of Political Affairs: Great to be here.

JOHN YANG: Matt, let me start with you.

MATT SCHLAPP: Yes.

JOHN YANG: And that race in Alabama, the Senate race in Alabama.

Tonight, there is a newspaper group in Alabama that is reporting that there is now a sixth

woman...

MATT SCHLAPP: Right.

JOHN YANG: ... who claims inappropriate behavior by Roy Moore.

There are a lot of leaders in Congress, Republican leaders, who make it sound like they really

don't want Roy Moore to be a colleague.

What can they do?

What can national Republicans do?

What should they do?

MATT SCHLAPP: Well, the problem for them is they didn't want Roy Moore to be their colleague

even before these allegations.

So, there's always great animosity between Republicans in the Senate and establishment

Republicans and Roy Moore.

Look, if these charges are true, he shouldn't be going to the Senate.

He should be going to prison for the rest of his life.

I have my 14-year-old daughter here with me here tonight, coincidentally, and it's just

-- these charges are incredibly serious.

I would say it's hard to look at this through a political lens, but it's a political race.

And I would simply say that it's for Alabama Republicans to decide what to do.

And the more it looks like D.C.

Republicans are forcing their point of view on the race, I think it will have the opposite

effect that they want.

And I think, actually, Republicans, men and women in Alabama are wrestling with allegations,

whether they think they're credible -- I certainly think they sound credible -- and what they

want to do going forward.

It's awfully difficult.

No matter what Roy Moore does, he's -- his name is on the ballot on Election Day.

So, this is a really strange situation.

JOHN YANG: Matt, you talked about sort of it's difficult to look at this through a political

lens, but Mo Brooks, a Republican congressman from Alabama who lost in the primary, was

one of the three Republican candidates, was chased through one of the House office buildings

yesterday by an ABC News reporter.

And when the reporter finally got to him, he asked him whether he still supported Roy

Moore.

He said, "I believe that the Democrats will do great damage to our country on a myriad

of issues."

He seemed to be saying that he'd rather have Roy Moore there than a Democrat.

What's the -- I mean, how do you look at that through -- how should Republicans be looking

at that?

MATT SCHLAPP: If these charges are true, if I were a voter in Alabama, I couldn't vote

for him.

It wouldn't matter who runs the Senate.

It just -- this is a -- this is so many bridges too far.

The question that each voter what to wrestle with -- and I don't want to do it for them

-- the voters in Alabama have to wrestle for this.

And it's not for Democratic voters, because they're mostly going to be with the Dems.

But the Republicans have to say, do -- you know, how I do handle the fact that these

charges seem to be credible?

It's multiple women.

It's a new victim a day.

And I think that Roy Moore should get out of the race.

But even when he gets out of the race, his name's on the ballot.

So the trickiness for the Republicans are, in order to counter that and not have the

Democrats win, which, you know, we certainly don't want to see that happen, if you're a

partisan Republican, it's coalescing around another name.

Jeff Sessions was raised.

They would have to coalesce around another name and have a write-in, unless Luther Strange

were to somehow resign, the governor make a new pick to the Senate, and maybe we could

push this election off until the next cycle.

JOHN YANG: Karine, we have heard from the leaders in the Senate, from Mitch McConnell,

and also in the House, Paul Ryan, saying they find these women credible.

They believe these women.

Today, Ivanka Trump told the Associated Press: "There's a special place in hell for people

who prey on children.

I have yet to see a valid explanation, and I have no reason to doubt the victims' accounts."

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE, Democratic Strategist: Right.

JOHN YANG: We haven't heard from her father.

Should the president, as the top Republican, be speaking out, do you think?

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Can I first say, John, how troubling it is to hear from a congressman

that he'd rather pick a pedophile over a Democrat, a Democrat -- and taking politics aside, Doug

Jones is actually considered a hero.

He took down Klansmen when a case was cold that -- a case that -- years ago about these

four little girls that were killed by Klansmen during a bombing at a church, at a Baptist

church.

And so I think that's incredibly troubling that a sitting congressman is saying that.

So, that's first of all.

Secondly, on your question, John, I don't think this president has any credibility,

if even if he were to come out.

This is a man that was caught on tape, the "Access Hollywood" tape, just about a year

ago that was -- that bragged about sexually assaulting women, saying that, as a star,

that he can do that.

And then, right after that, 16 women came out and accused him of doing just that.

And Republicans didn't believe him.

But yet, they -- because it's politically, I guess, advantageous for them now, now they're

believing this story, as they should.

But it doesn't surprise me that Republicans are having a hard time, because their president

is, as far as I can see, a sexual predator.

JOHN YANG: Is there a worry, or if you're going to believe these women, there are some

say -- who say, well, what about the women who brought allegations against President

Bill Clinton and the way that the Clinton -- the Clintons and even Mrs. Clinton, to

a certain extent, criticized those women?

Is there a...

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: So, here's what I say to that.

If anything that we have learned this past year is, we believe the women, period.

We're not talking about Bill Clinton.

We're talking about Donald Trump, who is currently the president of the United States.

But, yes, I think you should believe the women.

MATT SCHLAPP: We're actually talking about a candidate in Alabama.

(CROSSTALK)

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Right, but I was just asked about President Trump, so that's why

I said that.

(CROSSTALK)

MATT SCHLAPP: At the end of the day, do we trust voters of Alabama to do the right thing

on this?

And that's what we're going to see.

JOHN YANG: Let's move on to the tax bill, which is going to get big votes tomorrow on

the Hill.

They're now rolling in -- or it looks like both the Senate and the House are going to

roll in a repeal of the individual mandate.

Is that a good idea, Matt?

MATT SCHLAPP: Well, yes.

Of course, I'm against Obamacare, and I'm against federal mandates, and I'm against

all the taxes and the fines and fees that went along with this mandate.

What the Republicans are trying to do now in this tax plan is to get to 50 votes.

We saw what happened on Obamacare.

They got close to 50, but they couldn't quite get there.

They don't want to have that replay again.

That would be disastrous.

So they're doing what they can to get to the 50 votes.

So, if that repeal of the individual mandate sticks in the bill, it's because it actually

gets them support.

As you see changes made to this bill, for instance, Ron Johnson, the senator from Wisconsin,

a Republican conservative, came out against the bill.

They're going to try to make some changes to get him back on board.

It's all about getting to 50, with Mike Pence breaking the tie.

JOHN YANG: But he's also against the bill -- or he says he's against the bill because

he thinks it weighs too heavily -- or the benefits are too much for big corporations.

Isn't that something the Democrats have been saying?

MATT SCHLAPP: Yes, well, this is a little bit of a smorgasbord here.

First of all, yes, he -- Ron Johnson is fine with repealing the individual mandate.

His concern is, is that the best part of this bill -- and I completely support it -- is

making America more competitive with their international competitors on our corporate

tax rate.

So it's really smart to take this rate back down to 20 percent.

What small business advocates are also saying is that big American companies compete with

small American companies, and they should be taxed in a similar way.

JOHN YANG: Karine?

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Look, I think that Republicans are trying so desperately to pass something

to show that they can govern, because they really have not shown that at all, that they're

willing to pass an outrageous, shameful piece of legislation that's going to hurt the middle

class.

One in three middle-class Americans will be hurt.

Their taxes will go up.

You have millions of Americans that are going to lose their health care because of taking

away the individual mandate.

And not only that.

They're trying to give big tax cuts, essentially, to big corporations and millionaires and billionaires.

And they're going to be doing that by cutting environmental programs, by cutting education

programs.

And it's all to have a win, and also to make sure that they're taking care of their big

donors.

And this is what we're looking at right now.

JOHN YANG: A tax cut for corporations, a tax increase for Middle Americans, Matt?

MATT SCHLAPP: You know, I think, if there was any flaw in these bills, it's that there

actually are Americans who will have their taxes go up, which, as a conservative, I don't

believe in.

The difference is, those people are people who make $250,000 and above.

In the House bill, there's even, like, this millionaire surcharge, which takes the top

rate up to something like 46 percent.

So it's actually people who are doing well in the economy who see their taxes increase

in these versions.

Now, what will come out of the conference?

I don't know.

I think it's an unfair charge to say that middle-class Americans are having their taxes

increased, unless you think someone who makes $1 million is middle class, which is a pretty

big stretch, right?

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Well, independent, nonpartisan groups center said most middle-class families

will see their taxes go up.

And the thing about it -- my favorite story is Gary Cohn yesterday, who did a town hall

with CEOs, and he asked them, hey, by giving you guys a tax cut, will that go down to your

employees?

And virtually no one raised their hands.

And I think that's what we're working with here on this tax plan.

MATT SCHLAPP: I think that the tax rates on corporations, that reduction is to have better

American competition with our international competitors.

JOHN YANG: Matt Schlapp gets the last word.

Matt Schlapp, Karine Jean-Pierre, thanks a lot.

MATT SCHLAPP: Thanks.

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Thanks, John.

Mugabe's rule seems to be ending. What's next for Zimbabwe? - Duration: 6:07.

HARI SREENIVASAN: The ruthless rule of the world's oldest head of state appears to be

coming to an end.

Zimbabwe's 93-year-old President Robert Mugabe is the only leader his nation has known since

its independence from Britain in 1980.

And, tonight, he is under house arrest in his gilded mansion, detained by elements of

his own military.

We begin with a report from Martin Geissler of Independent Television News in the capital,

Harare.

MARTIN GEISSLER: There is a new authority in Zimbabwe today, and it wears military fatigues.

The generals say this is not a coup, but with soldiers on the streets in Harare and army

hardware stationed at the junctions, it looks a lot like one.

MAJ.

GEN.

S.B.

MOYO, Zimbabwe Military Spokesman: We wish to make it abundantly clear that this is not

a military takeover of government.

What the Zimbabwe Defense Forces is doing is to pacify a degenerating political, social

and economic situation in our country, which, if not addressed, may dissolve in a violent

conflict.

MARTIN GEISSLER: The other message the military wanted to broadcast today was that President

Robert Mugabe is safe.

The man who's ruled Zimbabwe with an iron grip for nearly 40 years is now under house

arrest, but evidently still able to contact his friends and allies abroad.

JACOB ZUMA, South African President: I have also contacted his excellency, President Mugabe,

whom I had time to talk to, and he is fine, but confined in his home.

MARTIN GEISSLER: Mugabe's government has turned this once-rich country into a place where

people queue outside the banks to collect enough cash to buy bread.

Increasingly frail, the dictator wanted to hand the presidency to his wife, Grace.

But the events over the past 24 hours could see Mugabe replaced instead by Emmerson Mnangagwa,

the deputy he sacked earlier this month.

Longstanding Mugabe allies now speak out against him.

VICTOR MATEMADANDA, Zimbabwe War Veterans Secretary-General: What Zimbabwe's been sliding

into was a state of chaos.

And, for that reason, war veterans here do stand with Zimbabwe's defense forces.

MARTIN GEISSLER: As the armored personnel carriers roll along Zimbabwe's roads, the

military has called for calm, but nothing is certain here, not yet.

The atmosphere in Harare is subdued.

It's not oppressive, but it's certainly not celebratory.

The people here are understandably cautious.

They're just waiting and watching to see what happens next.

There was gunfire in Harare overnight.

Some elements of the security forces seemingly still loyal to the president, but many of

the men who used to do his bidding are now trying to push this crippled country into

a new era.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Since Martin Geissler filed that story, there are reports that government

ministers have been arrested and others are fleeing their homes.

In addition, the police have reportedly been shut down, and their commissioner detained.

For more on the situation on the ground and the wider country, I spoke earlier ago via

Skype with freelance journalist Tatira Zwinoira.

I began by asking him the general mood.

TATIRA ZWINOIRA, Freelance Journalist: Believe it or not, people are actually happy.

They say it's a military takeover, but, in actual essence, it's a coup, because President

Mugabe is an elected president.

So, people don't want to use word, but then, by definition of the actions, it's a coup.

But people are not upset.

People are actually happy.

Actually, some people who were interviewed by some of the local media houses were actually

saying that this was actually too long, it took too long, military intervention.

So, people were actually happy.

Businesses were carried on as usual, although banks closed and other companies closed around

1:00 during the day.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Are the people that took over fundamentally different from those people

who are in power now?

TATIRA ZWINOIRA: Well, at the end of the day, these are the same people who are being used

by the government under ZANU-PF, the ZANU-PF party, the ruling party headed by President

Robert Mugabe.

These are the same people who are being used to kind of control the economy, control the

government, and control the citizens of the country.

So, you have to ask yourself then, are they going to bring anything different at the end

of the day?

I mean, if these are the same people who are being used, what can they bring which is different?

HARI SREENIVASAN: Well, what can neighboring nations, say, South Africa, or even the African

Union, do about this, or what are they interested in doing about this?

TATIRA ZWINOIRA: Well, that's another reason -- before I answer your question, I just wanted

to highlight this point.

That's another reason why they're not calling it a coup, because they are afraid of the

A.U., SADC, and international community coming in.

If they call it a coup, then they will have precedence to come into Zimbabwe and say,

look, hold on.

This is what's happening in Zimbabwe.

We should come in.

Now coming back to you question, A.U. seems to be saying that, you know, this military

intervention is not wanted.

It's unwarranted.

The things must return back to normal.

Things must remain calm.

SADC is saying the same thing.

President Jacob Zuma of South Africa actually called for calm and actually promised to send

two envoys, special envoys, to Zimbabwe to talk with Mugabe and try and mediate between

the army and the government.

So, we wait and see what happens there.

But, generally, they don't want this military intervention.

HARI SREENIVASAN: All right, Tatira Zwinoira, joining us via Skype from just outside Harare,

thanks so much.

TATIRA ZWINOIRA: All right.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It has been a day marked by major news on two fronts.

Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a $1.5 trillion tax package.

President Trump hailed it a big step on the way to the first overhaul of our tax system

in decades.

And the cascade of accusations of sexual misconduct against men in positions of power continues.

Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota is now the latest politician to face charges

John Yang has the story.

JOHN YANG: A Los Angeles radio news anchor in Los Angeles, Leeann Tweeden, accused Minnesota

Democrat Al Franken of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour in Kuwait.

LEEANN TWEEDEN, KABC Radio: He came at me.

And before you even know, you would kind of get close and he just put his hand on the

back of my head, and he mashed his face against -- it happened to fast.

And he just mashed his lips against my face.

And he stuck his tongue in my mouth so fast.

And I said, "If you ever do that to me again, I'm not going to be so nice about it the second

time."

And I just walked out away from him.

I don't know.

I was violated.

I just like felt he betrayed my trust.

JOHN YANG: Tweeden also released a photo taken during the tour of Franken looking at the

camera while his hands were over her chest as she slept.

Franken apologized to Tweeden in a statement, saying he remembered the kissing incident

differently.

Of the photo, he said: "I look at it now and I feel disgusted with myself.

It isn't funny.

It's completely inappropriate."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called for an ethics investigation, which Franken

said he welcomed.

Tweeden says she's not asking for him to leave the Senate.

LEEANN TWEEDEN: You know, people make mistakes.

I'm not calling for him to step down.

JOHN YANG: Later, a second woman, Melanie Morgan, co-founder of a far-right Web site,

Media Equalizer, said Franken harassed her after they appeared together on the show "Politically

Incorrect With Bill Maher" in 2000.

Her claims were not sexual in nature.

The response on Capitol Hill?

SEN.

LINDSEY GRAHAM (R), South Carolina: I have no idea what the right answer is.

SEN.

JEFF FLAKE (R), Arizona: I just learned of it.

We will see.

JOHN YANG: Members of his own party also avoided weighing in.

MAN: I think I should go vote.

MAN: I cannot comment on any matter that may come before the committee.

JOHN YANG: In Alabama, Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore was faced with three new allegations

of sexual assault and harassment, including from two teenage girls.

ROY MOORE (R), Alabama Senatorial Candidate: Many of you have recognized that this is an

effort by Mitch McConnell and his cronies to try to steal this election.

They got a call that said -- asked me to step down from the campaign.

Well, I want to tell you who needs to step down.

That's Mitch McConnell.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

JOHN YANG: On Capitol Hill today to talk taxes:

QUESTION: Mr. President, should Roy Moore step aside?

Should Roy Moore step aside?

QUESTION: Is there any reaction to the Al Franken news, sir?

JOHN YANG: President Trump ignored questions on both Franken and Moore.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm John Yang.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And late today, the Alabama Republican Party officially announced that

it would stand by Judge Moore.

In a statement, the party chair said -- quote -- "Alabamians will be the ultimate jury in

this election, not the media or those from afar."

We will talk to two influential members of Congress about the other lead story, a tax

reform vote, right after the news summary.

In the day's other news: A federal judge declared a mistrial in the bribery trial of Senator

Robert Menendez.

Jurors said they were deadlocked on all charges against the New Jersey Democrat, after a trial

that lasted two-and-a-half months.

We will have a full report later in the program.

A bipartisan group of senators has unveiled gun legislation to beef up the federal criminal

background check system.

It comes after a man in Texas shot to death more than two dozen people at a church.

His domestic assault conviction in the military was never reported to a national database.

The bill would penalize federal agencies that fail to report relevant information.

In Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe was seen for the first time since Tuesday's apparent

military coup put him under house arrest.

John Ray of Independent Television News is in Zimbabwe.

He reports from the capital city, Harare.

JOHN RAY: The drama that will decide Zimbabwe's future glimpsed from a distance.

Robert Mugabe's motorcade speeding to the presidential palace, still his, if only in

name.

Tonight, state media released pictures of Mugabe meeting the generals who want him out,

not all carefully staged images.

They suggest a deal might be close.

No doubt who's in control.

Just as slowly, just as surely as the army's convoys, this crisis is coming to a climax.

Onto the stage, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai:

MORGAN TSVANGIRAI, Opposition Leader: In the interests of the people of Zimbabwe, Mr. Robert

Mugabe must resign, step down immediately, in line with the national sentiment and expectation.

JOHN RAY: The adoring crowds that cheered Mugabe last week are gone.

But he is stubborn.

He wants safeguards for his wife, Grace.

Her lavish lifestyle, more than anything, has angered Zimbabweans struggling in a country

crumbling around them.

Long weary of the greed, incompetence and corruption that's disfigured their politics,

today, for the for the first time in a long time, Zimbabweans are daring to dream for

a better tomorrow and hoping that this is not yet another false dawn.

Ethel tells me she wants to be a lawyer.

More likely, she will join the long ranks of jobless.

But, already, the family speaks with a freedom they haven't known for years.

WOMAN: We are sick and tired of Mugabe.

They must remove him for us to be better.

JOHN RAY: If Robert Mugabe goes, what will that mean for you?

ETHEL GWANZURA, Zimbabwe: Wow.

To him, that would be a great blow, but, to us, that would be a great change.

At least we have -- we will have our Zimbabwe back.

JOHN RAY: It was at the airport that Mugabe was last seen in public, renaming it in his

own honor.

His exit from power, if not the country, is surely close at hand.

JUDY WOODRUFF: That report from John Ray of Independent Television News.

China today renewed its call for North Korea to halt nuclear and missile testing, if the

U.S. halts military exercises with South Korea.

It's called the freeze-for-freeze initiative, and Beijing said it's the most reasonable

way forward.

Just yesterday, President Trump said that China's President Xi had agreed the proposal

is a nonstarter.

A painting of Christ by Leonardo da Vinci has shattered the record for the most expensive

piece of art ever sold.

It was auctioned for $450 million last night at Christie's in New York.

The work is titled Salvator Mundi, or Savior of the World, and depicts Christ holding an

orb.

It dates to around 1500.

The winning bidder remains anonymous.

And on Wall Street, stocks surged on strong corporate earnings from Wal-Mart and Cisco

Systems.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 187 points to close at 23458.

The Nasdaq hit a record high, rising 87 points, and the S&P 500 added 21.
