Beginning of this hearing you will tell a difference already. i think andy will be pleased by the fact that the optics are different. when amy comey barrett appeared, the democrats surrounded her with giant pictures of people who were relying on the affordable care act. the impression they made was that all these people will be endangered by this nominee. that she would kill obamacare. it was completely absurd. i said at the time the case was not a threat to obamacare and she would be more likel...

Subpoena, extend the subpoenas up to say kevin mccarthy it would be even more dramatic but the most dramatic escalation the one most people in america whenever i run into someone, a normal person, they ask, when are these guys going to subpoena donald trump and why arent they? adam kinzinger addressed that on television over the weekend. i want to play that and hear what he had to say. ill ask you about it on the other side. >> nobody, member of congress, former president, nobody in america is a...

Drafted insurrection act is something thats new to us and needs to be discovered. this is why we need to have a serious, rigorous commission that looks at this. and so the select committee is something we need to watch very closely in terms of whos going to compose it. im very concerned, alicia, that anything less than a serious structure, serious people asking serious, hard questions is going to further erode the credibility that we already see throughout the country in terms of our institution...

By republicans? >> you know, theyre going to say that, but i dont think we are going to, because of that, participate in a side show. so, of course theyre going to try to find every fault they can with the process. first they said that it wasnt a public process. now its going to be a public process and they dont like that. so, theyre going to find every reason to not talk about the presidents behavior and to try to pick away at what they see as flaws in the process, but they cant expect democrat...

The me too movement in a rally environment. frankly the senate bears a lot of blame. this isnt just the president. the circus atmosphere of the kavanaugh hearing and judicial committee was an embarrassment. it didnt serve our kids well, the kavanaugh family well, the ford family well. if youre going to bring forward an allegation you shouldnt be getting death threats. that circus environment is about institutions that should be cautious and building public trust, being swallowed whole by cable n...

Phone calls with at least judge kavanaugh, and dr. ford. consistent with that practice, i asked senator feinsteins office yesterday to join me in scheduling this follow-up. this thus far they have refused. as a necessary step. i will continue working to set them up." even white house officials tell fox news that some sort of hearing before the senate judiciary committee is likely. whats going to have to happen here, because if they werent one, they would howl that the american public is not find...

Including trying to pressure his attorney general, forcing out obviously jim comey. forcing out ultimately andy mccabe. and now trying to get his allies on capitol hill to out some of the sources, chill witnesses, and overall create a circus environment around this investigation which heretofore has been very professionally led, very expeditious, very leak proof, and very workmanlike by bob mueller. but i think there is a larger point here, nicolle, that we have to put on the table, which is tha...

Circus environment interfering with your young peoples education because that is at the forefront of everything were doing. the so we decided to move it to sunday. >> so the community relations services department, of the department of justice is involved with this town hall. this is part of the administration. the trump administration. the you have been saying youre disappointed by the presidents response so far. but do you see this as constructive involvement from the trump administration? >> ...
