We dont know what the report says. think they are celebrating too soon with the lack of new indictments? >> i dont think so, as of yet. the presidents argument and trump allies argument is, even if the mueller report talks about the president obstructing justice or almost getting to that cliff, at the end of the day, if they dont have collusion and have not indicted anyone on their conspiracy to defraud americans, it doesnt matter. as chuck todd said, the president is extremely strong within the...

Secretary carson is the victim of another attack by the media. i think people care because it shows the work youre doing for taxpayers, who are paying your salary. hud has been proposing the envision centers, which havent opened. cuts across the board. triple rents for people in public housing. cutting housing repairs. >> it comes from the top, right? if housing and urban development was a priority for the president, then he would be pushing for the agency to be more proactive. he wouldnt be pus...

Election that they thought they were going to win. you should never have been to a president again. that was the day before the president told the house gop to vote for transparency, suzanne. is this a case of public pronouncement versus private pressure? is there any source of your reeling behind the scenes pressure from the president to keep the mueller report under wraps. >> no. hes been doing this all along saying fine we can be transparent but there is no collusion that he doesnt think ther...

So i think the safest thing to do here is to follow the constitution. im not going to get into whether two days or three days or it should be monday -- thats the senates role here. i think that dr. ford should be given an opportunity to appear and to make the case. i think that judge kavanaugh should be able to respond to that. i think thats appropriate. by the way, doesnt mean it has to be done publicly. they could decide -- look, i understand the transparency issue, but if dr. ford wanted to d...

I think that judge kavanagh should be able to respond to that. i think thats appropriate. by the way, doesnt mean it has to be done publicly. they could decide -- look, i understand the transparency issue, but if dr. ford wanted to do it privately, i think she would have the right to do that. theres no question -- >> they have. i get the sensitivities. she has the threats. shes got kids. her family is not living at home right now. i totally get that. >> sure. >> for the full complement of senato...
