History. howl realistic is that prospect, i think you have to get through nancy pelosi first. >> first, theres one single focus, getting the house back. talk about that is premature. weve seen with the election of the president, that you cant count your chickens before they hatch. th we must continue to be in a consolidated effort to win the house back to keep in check some of the policies that the president is trying to put forward. my focus is not on leadership. my focus is on winning the hous...

Worker, i have great compassion for those victims of domestic violence anywhere, especially as it concerns those nations who turn a blind eye to crimes of domestic violence. forgive me, congressman, i appreciate your personal story, but your family history shouldnt be allowed to thwart the presidents immigration agenda. and frankly, imperil the partys prospects in the mid-terms. until 2016, asylum was traditionally reserved for those in fear of persecution for things like their religious, their ...

Were talking about how he was representing his client today. >> right now. okay. you can criticize it. >> i think right now is the barometer which were using. rudy giuliani, from the late 80s, early 90s, is not the rudy giuliani today. but set all of that aside. what we have is a political calculation that the president of the united states is making. he wants this to be as muddy as possible. he wants to fight culture wars. he wants to rev up his 35%. he wants it to be as if the left and the med...

Communications that could give a very different impression? >> i honestly think youre giving the 45th president of the united states way too much credit. im not sure hes orchestrating this. im not sure hes pulling all of these different strings. i mean we know he hired rudy giuliani. we know he hired michael cohen. and neither one of them are exemplars in their particular field. we know that to be a fact after watching this episode unfurl. >> hold on, bakrari. you can criticize how rudy may be d...

Friday. george will, a conservative writing speaker ryan and many other republicans have become the presidents poodles, not because james madisons system has failed but because todays careers have failed to be worthy of it. in todays gop he is the mainstream. to vote against his partys congressional caucuses is to affirm the nations honor saying get rid of the democrats. well see how that -- well see how that goes. why a governors race in maryland could be an early barometer for 2020. hey allerg...

Country if this keeps up. the one fear i have and everyone knows is trade. i worry abt protectionism but i think trump is very well aware of what protectionist measures would do to the economy and i think the negotiation strategy may well work. he is a master negotiator. god knows im not. he is. i think it may work. it would be spectacular. >> sandra: let me ask you about the stock market. we heard from this administration a lot on the stock market as it was on its way up hitting record after re...

We started up and now down 95. seems to be a collective shrug. every time the president does something like this, its the sky is falling and the markets are down. but wall street is a good barometer of this time. theyre like eh, lets see how this plays out. >> yeah, people are just waiting for the rhetoric to play out. the stock market investors always have trouble dealing with policy things. everybody is just trying to figure it out. >> yeah, the truth is, if you go back to gary cohen, the form...
