martha: you know, there is a couple very high profile people also involved, john childs is also on the list. his reporting came out late this afternoon. he is the founder of a private equity firm, john hastens former citigroup president chief operating officer. i think a lot of people look at this list and wonder why would these people be in this place in the first place? but i guess that goes to some deeper questions that we don t have the answers to here tonight, mark, right? well, yes. and, again, they are presumed to be innocent. and it s not going to be a slam dunk, too. they have video. but you are going to need some people to testify as to what was going on. that means these gals are going to have to testify i don t know if they will. martha: mark eiglarsh, we will watch it thank you very much. thanks, martha. martha: coming up here tonight on the story governor huckabee and news just breaking out of the white house as the president makes a major nomination moments ago
The labor department is now defending acosta s actions saying the decisions, quote, were approved by department leadership and followed departmental procedures. three house democrats jackie speier debbie wasserman schultz and lois frankel on calling on president trump to demand acosta s resignation and today the president said. this watch. i really don t know too much about it i know he has done a great job as labor secretary. and that seems like a long time ago, but i know he has been a fantastic labor secretary. meantime many of jeffrey epstein s victims and alleged victims who felt shut out of the legal process have brought civil cases against him. martha? martha: trace, thank you very much. here now steve hilton host of the next levy lucien. there are a lot of people, steve, who do not want this story to see the light of day again. exactly right. very important we do those facts that trace laid out there so brilliantly.
The baby certainly doesn t come out better on this. and i think it s disingenuous for any of the democrats whether it s jay endsley of washington or nancy pelosi to somehow pretend that all that planned parenthood is out there to do is to provide contraceptive services and to help women have better health it s an abortion clinic. that s basically what they do. most of the other things, even pap smears and mammograms they don t actually do it at planned parenthood. they simply are the middle man and they refer it to someone else. why don t we get the middle man out of it and let people get those services. we all think that s a good thing. let them do it directly from the people providing it, which is not planned parenthood. martha: obviously it s going to ignite quite a battle. as you say the president promised he would do this and he is following through on it take a look at this poll. this is where the united states is on pro-life and pro-choice. pro-life 44% according to the latest
Pizza has been sitting there four years and i do think michael is right. look, have you candidates from new york and candidates from california. there s a bunch of different parts of the democratic party let s say that each person is representing. here s an old white guy from vermont and. martha: you guys are really picking on the old white guy. that s not a very popular phrase in a lot of quarters. but, you know, when you take a look at the chances, you know, of who can whether or not president trump can be beat, michael, let me get your thoughts on this. put up this fox news poll. excellent 19%. good 36%. and president trump s favorability rating is down around 43% right now. so you have got a by on from a number of people including donna shalala and aoc spokesperson corbin trent who say they refuse to endorse bernie for 2020. excited to see many progressives in the race we are not thinking at all about the next election. it raises a lot of questions
Services when the fact is they are pretty much an abortion machine. and make a lot of money doing it. martha: i mean, this is exactly the way to carve out money from planned parenthood because they say they refer and that business goes to them and to their bottom line ultimately. as you accurately point out. here is what nancy pelosi said jayensly also the washington governor has also said that search states, 14, i think, are going to try to get together and push back on this legally. this outrageous assault on the healthcare of vulnerable and under served women and families would choke off access to health and preventative healthcare gravely undermining the health and strength of america. who would fill that role, governor? well, there are a lot of community health centers that can do it there is enormous numbers of hospitals. this is such a ridiculous thing for nancy pelosi to talk about this as healthcare. there is nothing healthy about killing a baby.
$100,000 an episode is pretty good. i don t think he is going to get a lot of sympathy for this. but, you know, he is an actor. he works in a world of make believe. and so it probably seemed very reasonable to him to come up with this sort of make believe scenario with these cartoonish villains and then he plays the poor victim. martha: as you say he signed the check. he signed a personal check, yeah. as someone said last night he should have watched an episode of colombo when he was done with empire if he wanted to figure out thousand pull this thing off more effectively. james robbins, excellent piece tonight. good to see you. thank you. martha: so he and tom brady have six super bowl rings. seems like they have it all, right? but now, the patriots owner, bob kraft, is said to be involved in a prostitution ring. he says that is not what happened. the police say that there is a video. so we bring in attorney mark
This is a really outrageous example of something that people have been complaining about the rigged system. i would ask people to think about it like this. everyone who thinks that hillary clinton, for example, and the clintons, the way that they have been treated by the justice system means that there is one rule for the rich and the powerful and the well-connected and one for everyone else, it s exactly the same here. for this monster. that s what he is. is he a pedophile monster this guy epstein. and it turns out because he has friends like alexander acosta in your pocket back then in florida you get away with a sentence that no one else who didn t have that wealth and those connections would do. and this is one rule for the clintons should be the same here. he should go. martha: pretty incredible. 13-month sentence and he was allowed to leave six days a week. yeah. martha: he pretty much had free reign to do what he wanted when he was supposedly incarcerated. this is a statem
They blame this kind of attack, which no one wants to see in this country on trump supporters. you know, that s discouraging at best. right. because the hoax teres know that they have all of these nationals ouenablers whether thn the media or politicians or bloggers, whoever they are. people in hollywood who are going to repeat these claims. they are going to expound on them. they are going to repeat the stereotypes of the trump voter or trump supporter. then they are going to analyze them in the context of the trump era. what s wrong with america. and a bunch of other things that s simply not only aren t they true but they damage the political dialogue in our republic because they tell people that well, you know you are presumed guilty. we hear jussie smollett talking about the presumption of innocence. while all of the trump supporters are presumed guilty of racism, sexism, homophobia and so forth. martha: what does it say
Were people of both of these persuasions on both sides. democrats who were pro-life, republicans who were pro-choice. that is just not the case anymore. neither side seems to allow anybody who is not aligning with them on this to be part of their party anymore, governor. i think it s going to be a defining issue in the 2020 elections. and if people think that abortion any time any place is fine, they will vote democrat. if they think we ought to protect human life, especially in the latter stages of pregnancy, they are not going to have a choice. they will need to vote republican. it will come down to that. martha: yeah. and a very permissive new law passed in vermont just this week as well. governor, thank you. good to see you as always. governor huckabee. thank you, martha. martha: coming up, is bernie sanders running into the same buzz saw that he hit last time around started by his own party? bernie sanders is not a democrat. if, in fact, you want to be the democratic nom
This to me is entitlement and pretty much ruined his career because disney bought off 21st century fox. they don t want anything to do with bad press. they are very image conscious and worst career move he could have made? martha: what about this robert kraft story. being associated with two counts of prostitution and the police say they have a video. he is also allowed due process. if you have a video pretty hard to disprove that one good thing about these cases we are seeing this week with r. kelly also with justin fairfax and that getting attention and robert kraft is the fact that law enforcement is involved in all three of these incidents. my understanding with the fairfax case vanessa tyson has gone to the suffolk county district attorney. good news is at least they are going to a place where law enforcement can get involved. martha: i totally agree. all be given due process as well. definitely surprising that news broke at outnumbered all sitting on the couch and every
