Doesnt Obviate News Today

Always said -- and ill surmise here -- ill wrap up here. one of the things weve always said is when republicans get in leadership, the reason they always suck is because they can never govern, and they can never produce. now were doing the same thing over and over again. like give me something. give me something to campaign on. >> well, im confused only because we began this discussion about biden talking about, you know, coming close to having a deal on two of the really charge packages that we...

You look at all of this stuff. this is what i know. i know that everybody, republican, democrat, white, black, blue, green, gay, straight, whatever, when you aint got power, its rough. when you dont have a bridge to go across, you cant get across. when you dont have water, you cant take a bath. and all im saying to the people of america is if you want something to be nonpartisan, this is about as nonpartisan as it gets. from my perspective, given what weve gone through in this country, the infra...

In congress to the supporting evidence. we can bring mueller in to testify and we take it to court if necessary. i want to make one further point. that is this. i wholly concur with what the speaker said regarding impeachment. that does not let the justice department off the hook. if the justice department takes the position you cant indict a sitting president but were not going to share the evidence with congress that it would need to determine whether impeachment is warranted, that amounts to ...

Wall from sea to shining sea would be the most expensive and least effective way to secure the border. true border security demands a flexible defense in depth strategy that includes a mix of personnel, technology and changing tactics which come at a lower price tag than a border wall. thats a loyal republican congressman who knows from american security, having been a former cia officer, and knows the border. and hes saying this wall is not a good use of money. >> right. go back and read his co...

The president says he recognizes that technology is better than a barrier, but there are places where there is no substitute for a barrier. the barriers we have up now, in the high-traffic areas, are over 90% effective. so, where we have built a barrier along the southern border, its reduced criminal immigration by more than 90%. yes, there are places in the mountain in the middle of nowhere technologys actually better and more cost-effective, but that doesnt obviate having a wall where you need...

It, he should recuse him. we want to go back to adam schiff. hopefully the transmission is better now. >> may lead to referrals to justice department or not. that doesnt obviate our need to do our jobs. you know, im certainly very pleased that the chair and i have reached bipartisan agreement on the scope of our investigation. we are going to look at the hacking and the bumping of documents. we are going to look at -- dumping of cunts. we are going to look at the use of paid media, the slick rus...

Department is looking into it. i think they are terribly worried now about what general flynn is going to say because the story is not flynn. it is trump and the russians. thats the story. it was the story of the election and the story of this presidency. his connections to russia are really important. >> matt, the white house says the story is the leaks. thats what the real story is. every white house -- you know, especially a new president gets up in arms about leaks. its infuriating there are...

Free pass saying, i dont want to talk about the e-mails, about what happened before. its not going away. her closest adviser testifies behind closed doors tomorrow. next week hillary clinton testifies publicly. what does she need to do in the next seven days? >> be open, be truthful. but this is a witch hunt. ive said is it from the beginning. the benghazi committee is a witch hunt. that doesnt obviate the fact that her server, and we need to separate these two things, hillary clinton has not be...

Water coolers. pocketbook issues dominate that water cooler discussion. actually, i think the minimum wage has some power. and i thought that number on the affordable care act was interesting. you know, the republicans are pouring tens of millions ultimately hundreds of millions of dollars into that one issue. they dont have a positive program. and that is their message. were against the affordable care act. i think thats going to end up being a dry hole for them in november. that doesnt obviate...

About ukraine. your thoughts. >> i really think thats an important point, chris. what dominates the news isnt always what dominates the talk around the kitchen table or at water coolers. pocketbook issues dominate that water cooler discussion. actually, i think the minimum wage has some power. and i thought that number on the affordable care act was interesting. you know, the republicans are pouring tens of millions ultimately hundreds of millions of dollars into that one issue. they dont have a...
