are replaced, but she was appointed under president obama, so president trump put in his nominee, jay powell. hep doesn t seem to agree with him on how interest rates should go. and yet another example of how down is up, up is down in this administration. that is the best explanation of what s going on today. the president doesn t even like his own appointees. we are also following breaking news here on capitol hill. former white house communications director hope hicks is still inside a closed-door interview with the house judiciary committee. hicks is the first former senior administration official to testify since the mueller report became public. a report that she s mentioned in a casual 183 times. but it s unclear what, if any questions, she answered about mueller s investigation. according to an 11th hour letter from white house counsel pat cipollone to the judiciary committee last night, quote, miss hicks is absolutely immune from being compelled to testify before congre
grassley, who led the fight for brett kavanaugh and who wouldn t even meet with merrick garland. and elizabeth warren tells the story about how she has worked with chuck grassley for over the counter hearing aids to save money for people. but none of these are espousing segregationist views. many of them are espousing views that are an anathema to many people on the democratic side when it comes to women s rights and immigration and some pretty broad civil rights issues that many of us feel strongly about in 2020, including joe biden. so i think the point that vice president biden was making last night was that, yes, those views were repugnant to him, and he has told that story many times because of how repugnant those views were to him. this becomes a debate inside the party. if you listen to ocasio-cortez, for example, and other

professor ford s attorney said to the judiciary committee last night they want to talk about how many rounds of questioning and whether the committee will subpoena mark judge and the other individual who she said was there in the room. talking about the day and providing for her safety and saying that they want the senators, not outside counsel to question. you were reporting earlier that there was a conference call, i believe it maybe just wrapped up. we are both looking at our phones trying to see if we can report and talk on the air at the same time. among republicans on the senate judiciary committee which might be an indication of where they are in the negotiations. it s really important. it s an important call because it dictates what chuck grassley and republicans respond to debra katz, the lawyer for christine blasey ford laid out. when people are going to
