To that. >> you report that soon after president trump nominated brett kavanaugh, this woman approached hezboll these democratic lawmakers with her story. why didnt this become public until now? >> thats a point of contention on the hill right now, wolf. there are other members of the senate judiciary committee who say that it is not acceptable how dianne feinstein resisted questions about this for a pretty protracted period until finally public pressure mounted and she did read this letter even...

Metal detector. we need to stop it before anyone goes in the school, thats where it starts right there, not in the school -- the kids shouldnt even be doing active shooter drills. it shouldnt even be in their head that someone is going to get in the school and get shot. its like at the courthouse. youre in the courthouse, do they do drills with the judge? judge, under your desk, someone is coming to shoot you, they dont do it. it shouldnt happen here. >> you made that point so clearly at the whi...

John roberts of fox news just saying, does the president have any ideas of his own about this gun violence, does he have any ideas at all? >> that was pretty stunning, and, in fact, the one idea that we heard the president put out today which has to do with ordering the justice department and the atf to do something about these bump stocks, its really i think too little, too ineffective, way too late. these bump stocks, remember, are the things that basically turn semiautomatics into automatics ...

Semiautomatics into automatics and allowed the carnage in las vegas to be as horrible as it was. so, first of all, if the president cares about this, why didnt this happen after las vegas? why did it take 17 dead high school students? but, second of all, its not at all clear that actually the -- that this can be accomplished by regulation. his own bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms has basically concluded that you cant do this by regulation alone, and so if you wanted to get rid of bump sto...

Continue to hear from joel here is his latest tweet, congressman look at this. he said this is after the memo was released. thats it? dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the house intel committee, destroyed trust with intelligence committee and exposed classified investigation of an american citizen, for what doj and fbi must keep doing their jobs. can we just pick apart this tweet for a second? destroys trust within the intelligence community? hes been stole walling congress for a year, unwil...

Intelligence community. as for the memo specifically, i cant speak to its contents but i believe it will provoke an important debate about our surveillance policies and how we need to keep politics separate from investigations into the important work we really need the fbi and department of justice to undertake. >> harris: i have to ask, republicans just had an interesting conversation already about surveillance by renewing 702, the section in fisa. why didnt this come out before that particular...

Camera of any kind tonight. officials here will not be as well. we do expect a written statement of some sort. when that happens, we will of course bring it to you. but beyond that, the white house is essentially out of this game for the moment. this is something that is unfolding. as phil was just saying there, this is one of the most fascinating times in washington, really one of the few times when members of the senate are on the floor in a moment like this. and its fascinating to watch as yo...

Shall i play it again. >> but the republicans voted to fund the childrens health insurance program for the n-- fr the next six years. >> [ multiple speakers ] >> but your party is use those kids as a bargain chip. because republicans couldnt be bothered to renew it 120 days ago. why didnt this expire. >> they voted over the last couple of days. >> why didnt it expire. >> they voted to extend it for six more years. that is not a valid point. >> it is a valid point. why let it expire. you are goin...

Because this is very complicated, and the politics of this region bring in a lot of complicated things when it comes to iran. russia is involved. so its a little not quite so simple as the u.s. just crushing isis in this area. but also, you would think that there is a good positive story for this administration to tell. and once again, we just see a president sort of consumed with talking about his own supremacy as it relates to his predecessor, barack obama, talking about the controversy with t...

Community real good. why didnt this come up 7 or 8 months ago when he was running. all of a sudden two weeks from now this stuff comes up, you know. i think hes a nice guy. >> reporter: a lot of people are saying why is it not. lee cordman had come forward saying she was abused at 14. she had considered coming forward several times in the past but she also feared the backlash and anger. and she came forward and it appears its coming true. the alleges have not been proven by theyre having an impa...
