front? do you pick up and go back to work, mend these relationships, how does it work from here. there s lots of things as you pointed out and bills that we passed this week, we passed major pieces of legislation. i was at the white house yesterday for a billing signing ceremony with the president. he signed it into law. things are getting done. things will get done going forward. but this is an unfortunate chapter and it s unfortunate chapter because of the way in which democrats sinicly exploited the letter from dr. ford to try to sink this nomination. it didn t work. i think the american people understand what s at stake here and i think the message that we are sending is that an unproven, unsubsta substantiated uncob s d allegation doesn t move forward. we re excited about the confirmation vote and think judge kavanaugh will be a great justice on the supreme court. chris: there are some people
as far as the strategy and what we are going to do. the important thing is that we are moving forward and when kim jong un doesn t move forward, he s the one that is choosing to back out of this. it s just like the return of those bodies. we have known about this for 60 years, it s not something where they have to go find these people. they need to return the bodies as a good-faith effort and let s move on from there. harris: and thank you for coming on the show today, we appreciate it. president trump also touching on the politics of immigration during his speech today. the president praising the effort of the immigration and customs enforcement agency and taking democrats to task for their call to abolish i.c.e. president trump: we have some of the worst drug dealers, terrorists, criminals, and ms-13 gang members, and we are either throwing them in jail or throwing them out of our country and it s been nine goes up there and they walk in like it s another day in the office.
is better but more than 50% of israelis say they think he should resign because of these legal cases he s involved in. how serious is this for him? it s more of a political than a legal issue because it s a coalition government in israel and you have two clocks ticking, one is a legal clock until he gets indicted and what happens after that but the other is political. will his party overthrow him? will his coalition overthrow him if they sense he s weak? is he going to be indicted? i ve read some stories suggesting police often recommend charges and that justice the attorney general, right. the attorney general doesn t move forward. it happens. the cases seem strong. their recommendations to charge him on two out of four cases, two are still under investigation. i think most people think he will get indicted, the question is how severe will the charges be and can he survive them politically? if they re strong bribery cases it will be difficult to maintain
pompeo say no doubt the russians will try to interfere in the 2018 election and we see what russia is doing around the world trying to station itself in the middle east as the new power since we have retreated. they are trying to put themselves in the middle of the north korea mess that we re facing and the crisis in front of us. and the president doesn t move forward to sanction after the united states congress passed nearly unanimously and the president signed a sanctions piece of legislation and today, ali, senator ben carden and all of the democrats on the senate foreign relations committee have sent a letter to secretary tillerson, what gives and what have you done and how are you held accountable for what the law requires you to do. and this is side by side with the idea we continue to see a weakening of our diplomatic, our soft power. we still do not have an ambassador in south korea and the leading candidate is no longer a candidate for the position. indeed. and i know that
promises and if it doesn t move forward will other republicans fall or face primary challenges? i have a ph.d. in economics and james madison up on my wall. i taught college for 20 years, you re right, when i go back home they ll say dave did you lose your marbles. we put you in to represent us not the d.c. bubble. that s why i m being careful. i represent 800,000 people. that s my job. i m a representative and i better bet my job right. they know the principles i ran on. i didn t run on a macro federally run mandate policy. we re trying to get rid of as much as we can. ed: dave brat trying to be careful and keep his marbles. seems like a wise strategy. shannon: a reminder you can
