Page 106 - Disqualifying News Today

The first lady to ghana for her first solo trip. what will see hear following the presidents controversial comments? and a florida teen back with her high school baseball team after being kicked off the team because of her gender. welcome back to "early start." im christine romans. >> i would be very happy. im dave briggs. morning tabloids are all brett kavanaugh. all about the supreme court. a weird tuesday. a shift from the white house this morning. allowing wider latitude on the fbi probe. ...

Hes not considering heitkamp. really, the spotlight is on those three people and those three people alone. >> well, lets talk about flake. you said hes been saying a lot of things in the past few days. certainly it started last week when he threw a wrench into things and asked for a one-week extension. over the weekend, he said that lying would be disqualifying. he called the white house to expand the fbi probe or at least nominally did. who knows what his real influence was there. and then as o...

The events that she described are true and are therefore disqualifying? >> look, i watched as much of her testimony as i could. i found her very credible. you have to ask yourself why would anybody put themselves through this if they did not believe that they had important information to convey to the senate. she basically said that, she thought it was her civic duty. so i found her presentation, i found her willingness to say i dont remember that but i remember this to be very convincing. and i...

Noise, sort of act in this kind of the mavericky way and then ultimately vote the party line. so i think that people are waiting to see here what he is going to do, but it is interest interesting the comments of him saying that he wanted the allegations of the sexual misconduct looked into, but lying, itself, it would be disqualifying, and that is going to add another problematic layer of of misconduct for judge kavanaugh. >> and not only that, but still bothered by the stolen e-mails back in th...

Truthfulness, potentially, is called into question with reports like this and thats certainly what many democrats and at least one republican saying tonight that if he did lie under oath about drinking or otherwise, that that would be disqualifying. >> yeah. thank you so much. "outfront" tonight, former fbi senior intelligence adviser, former white house communications director for president obama and scott jennings,a former adviser to republican senator mitch mcconnell. guys, thanks for comin...

Heinrich proved once and for all, republicans and democrats can get along if death is the only option. so for what its worth, weve empirically shown that compromise and working together can work, theres just far too little of it in the senate. >> now, very publicly, you did not support president trump, you did not vote for him. what does it feel like right now to be somebody, you know, the republicans arent happy with you, a lot of democrats arent happy with you. what does it feel like to be kin...

Wrestling over this have asked for a narrow scope and i think thats appropriate. >> let me ask you this, because its partly the alleged behavior, and you and i, imagine, have some experience with background checks. you, of course, went through one. i have been called about friends who have been up for various positions. and they do ask about, you know, how much you drank, what was your behavior like, going back to your youth. if the nominee lied about that before the senate, which we know lying ...

That is disqualifying. i dont think from what we know the investigation is going to probe if he was telling the truth exactly, and they are going to ask the witnesses about the allege incidents, and this is a controversy that does not need to exist. we dont need to sit here at 6:09 a.m. wondering whether or not this is a thorough investigation. somebody should just tell us exactly what is being investigated. we deserve to know, and then people can argue whether its enough or not enough, but its ...

To get them drunk so they could gang rape them. im just curious, donny, how would you have responded if you were innocent under those circumstances? would you have stayed calm? would you have been calm after hearing time and time again that you victimized women and you actually ran gang rape factories in high school? im just curious. >> a lot of people and the point that youre making if youre innocent you would act that way. i still think theres a way to be angry and firm versus disrespectful. y...

So for what its worth, we have shown that compromise and working together can work. theres just far too little of it in the senate. >> very publicly, you did not support president trump. you did not vote for him. what does it feel like to be somebody, the republicans arent happy with you, lot of democrats arent happy with you. what does it feel like to be the man without a country? >> thats what it feels like. it does. i could never warm to the president long before he ran, he talked about presi...
