Hey, welcome back to "velshi and ruehl." we have been focused on the kavanaugh process but a lot has been happening in the trump administration. a child migrant camp that was supposed to shut down weeks ago is expanding to house more unaccompanied children. the guardian has reported the camp is located in the border town of torneo, texas and originally had a capacity of 400 but now grown to 2,400 beds and set to remain open until the end of the year. a federal judge has temporarily stopped the t...

World is kind of bubbling beneath the surface of trumps trade war. you can see that in the latest rounds of $200 billion worth of tariffs. there was a really large focus on routers, mother boards, networking equipment, these kinds of things that can be easily manipulated as they move into the rest of the world. i dont know if was a coincidence but i very much doubt it. as a result, think what the trump administration may be trying to do or at least one of the things that may happen afterwards is...

Suddenly become insufficient. suddenly become insufficient. no matter what accommodations were made, no matter what agreements were reached, senate democrats would find more excuse to continue moving the goalpost one more time. now granted, this wasnt exactly a radical prediction. this body and this nation have spent months watching their friends across the aisle grasp at every imaginable excuse to delay this process and damage this nominee. i felt pretty safe in saying the last goalpost would s...

House, this president, the senate judiciary committee, the mainstream media has been incredibly accommodating to her wish to testify, to giving her the space and deference she needed to do so. she provided her testimony. she still has no corroboration for her testimony. there is still no evidence, no witnesses that confirmed as far as we know. an expanded f.b.i. investigation. we arent micromanaging this process. we have allowed -- we have said sure, if the senate judiciary committee wants to ha...

Is helping the hard left, which is the modern democratic party and energizing its base and an extended part of the #metoo movement, etc. only if the victims of the #metoo movement are democrats. if you look at the presidents tweet after judge kavanaugh testified he got over 300,000 likes within 24 hours. thats a lot of likes for a presidential tweet and your own prime timeline-up on that same night thursday following the historic testimony, you had 5.3 million viewers in your prime timeline-up. ...

Recognize the red state democrats are in a difficult position. complicity in a destructive process that hurt ford and kavanaugh and doing the will of their voters. >> bill: the supreme court justice of the supreme court. does he get there? >> yes, he will be on the supreme court. >> bill: thanks for your time. crunch time approaching. mitch mcconnell speaking on the floor promising there will be a vote this week. we expect senator schumer to follow him. so will they have the votes? well talk to ...

Rank and file voters are feeling. we hear from them constantly. nothing will ever be good enough not just for the democrats on the judiciary committee but all those not voting for kavanaugh. if youre a red state democrat youre choosing between being complicit in a process thats been about delay and destruction and the will of your people in the state. if youre one of the three democratic senators who voted for gorsuch manchin, heitkamp and donley. what has changed? your voters want a supreme cou...

American electorate. >> good forbid you have lunch at the blue hen. sean spicer characterized this the following way. >> i think its part of the reason that she lost the campaign is she doesnt recognize that 60 plus million people that voted for donald trump for president because most of those people wanted a voice in washington they felt like the system was leaving them behind. hard working americans that just want to play by the rules, work a hard day, and have their government respect them. i...

Would do that, but we havent talked about it. >> this really comes down to issues of nuance in the explanation. they say they arent micromanaging the process. maybe not, but theyre certainly in charge of it, thats how this process works, and theyre limiting the scope of it by telling the fbi who they can and cannot interview. president trump, were not expected to see or hear from him directly today, although he did send one tweet about the "snl" takedown, or parody, rather, of thursdays hearing...
