>> it suggests to me he is a phoney. its always about him. it will always be about him. he doesnt have an empathetic cell in his body. >> laura: david, how does this help the discourse? >> not too much. its a great day for law enforcement in america. therefore a great day in america. government worked. we should take a breath. this could have been horrific if some of these bombs went off. i think both sides of the crazies on the left and right ought to calm down. >> laura: here, here! >> who kno...

Before the guy even got there. >> and they knew about this in july and august. they could have done a background fbi investigation a long time ago. it could have been much more than a week. >> this is an attempted coup. i think what the democrats have done is absolutely premeditated. they had a weak hand. they dont have the white house. they dont have the house. they dont have the senate. they were playing with a weak hand. what they did was they had the complaint many weeks ago. it could have b...

Today and this is not a partisan point, i would just be wondering would i knowing that if this conversation were unfolding in february of this year, in february of 18 as opposed to september of 18, you know that those senators would wait for more process, more of a chance to make sure this is, in fact, this did not happen or however the kavanaugh people are framing it. you know they would buy time to know more. and because its september and because of the mid-terms basically those senators who h...

When no one seemed to know whether rosenstein would be fired the white house lined up matthew whittaker, attorney general jeff sessions chief of staff to be his replacement. what do you think saved rosenstein? what do you think saved his job? >> look, its hard to -- its a little hard to speculate. i think that based on the reporting it seems to be that there was concern among people in the white house that if the president removed rod rosenstein prior to the mid-terms that there would be a backl...

Shouldnt, and then hes in, hes out and twitter went crazy. >> maybe thats it. maybe he got his advice from where he gets his advice from a lot and he said dont fire him, and he said im not going to fire him and its all well and good now. theyre reporting tonight during the craziness of the weekend when no one seemed to know whether rosenstein would be fired the white house lined up matthew whittaker, attorney general jeff sessions chief of staff to be his replacement. what do you think saved ros...

My deep suspicion that senator feinstein was in consultation with the minority leader chuck schumer of new york. they thought this was the only possible longshot way they had of derailing this nomination. derailing what will be the fifth vote that could undermine roe v. wade, something that they feel so profoundly and i am also pro-choice. i understood the implications of judge kavanaughs ascension to the high court. they had a bad hand to play but they played it brilliantly and they held the le...

I think he went more than 20 deep in terms of questions. it was up there for over an hour. so first formal one on u.s. soil in a long time. what we expect to get to today will be a lot of questions about his nominee for the supreme court, brett kavanaugh. of course with three women coming out to level allegations against him and that judiciary committee hearing tomorrow. this is top of mind for the president. when he sat down with shinzo abe of japan, the president weighed in on the latest accus...

The president has made -- i dont know how to say this, jeff -- allegations that china is trying to influence the u.s. elections but not in the way that we think russia has been trying to influence elections. what was he talking about? >> reporter: thats right, ali. when the president made that allegation today at the gathering of the u.n. security council, he made it without offering much in the way of details or evidence and it struck some people as an attempt by him to downplay the role that w...

He won in 2016 but at the same time democrats are playing on local issues. when you dont have someone whos like a hillary clinton figure where its easy to unite and mobilize against her, thats part of why you see republicans trying to tie democrats to nancy pelosi. in a lot of these states the local issues -- i think jacobs right -- its whats hitting them in their daily lives that theyre going to be hitting on. >> when you look at the polls around 60% of the people are invested in saying theyre ...

Hands in so many aspects of whats being investigated, it is hard for him to oversee it. the scope of the investigation has gotten so far beyond the reason why this special counsel was created in the first place, this particular number two rod rosenstein should not be overseeing it. so i think thats whats most important. >> bill: does he stay on the job or not? what would you do if you were president trump? >> i would not expect anything to happen before the mid-terms. but i do believe -- i dont ...
