A news show featuring the top headlines of the day from pop culture to politics, which are discussed by a rotating panel of four women and one man. Harris i hear you saying david it sounds like the m. O. It sounds like their m. O. But the fact is that for decades and, of course, we got to realize Vladimir Putin is part of the old soviet union. K. G. B. Guy at heart. They have been trying to sow dissent in the United States since stalin was in power and even before that. They continue to do that. Its just the method of delivery has changed. That is what theyre focusing on now. There hasnt been enough done in the past. Probably isnt enough done now. I dont think it is ever going to stop. Harris senator Lindsey Graham says he is working to introduce a russia, quote unquote, sanctions bill from hell. Go for it. Trump has been tough on russia, as we should. So i have no problem to continue sanctions on russia. Of course we have to take the Cyber Security issues seriously. We should make sure that the United States institutions are
protected from the foreign interference. Whatever it is. But i think that this intense focus on the social media is overblown. If you look at the impressions from facebook alone, 56 of them happened after the election, the majority of the ads didnt mention the United States election. You look at even 2,000 spent in wisconsin. Its a complete joke. I mentioned this before but jeb bush spent 3,000 per voter in the state of iowa alone in the republican primary. I think facebook has a vested interested in trying to get out in front of this in any way they can. Because they have taken a huge financial hit recently. Melissa they do have an incentive and im not confident they are doing everything they could and should. I deleted my account before i came out on the air today. If its still there david was it tough to do it . It used to be hard. Melissa i hope i did it properly. I went through the steps. I didnt deactivate. I attempted to completely
delete it. I think its nefarious. When you read down in here, trying to incite violence. This is really serious. This is really bad for our democracy. Its really bad for our families, our lives. I deleted my account. Thats that. Im out of facebook. Harris with you and david on the couch, i want to ask about because you say you dont know if facebook going to get it right. Why cant they get it right . Or is it on them or bad actors. David like trying to delete anything on the internet. Harris but i mean the process. This is a further journey for them now. Melissa its not necessarily always in their economic interest to do everything that they would need to do. I mean there are some things, yes, they want to restore faith so people like i just did, dont delete their account. So that makes sense. At the same time, its what drives the revenue. Having more people there and more interaction. Selling ads. That drives the revenue. They have a mixed incentive
here. Marie like playing whackamole. 300 more popup. The Internet Research behind some of those they deleted, a Russian Internet meddling firm basically. They are very good at this and they have people who can do it in their sleet. They delete some and hundreds more popup. Its like whackamole literally. I think facebook is going through an internal crisis how to handle the issue. They are committed to free speech and people using the platform in ways. Harris twitter and others im coming at this this is a tough problem. Harris with a question mark. Twitter and others have challenges the same way i imagine. Marie absolutely. Harris look at what twitter did a couple of weeks ago. They went on the egg head alert. Look at accounts that were not real or bots or whatever and scrubbing them. People were complaining they were using followers but they werent real anyway. David lets focus on the
editorial here. What it was that russia was trying to do. The groups it was trying to get harris and the events organized. David to get under the sphere of influence. It turns out that the call for end of i. C. E. Was a part very much interested the russians or whoever is behind this thing. They were involved with a group called stop ripping families apart. Take over i. C. E. Headquarters. They tried to arrange a rally in front of the department of Homeland Security and total of 131 people marked themselves as having attended the june 27 Rally Outside of i. C. E. Headquarters. So its very interesting. The soviet union, whether on the right or the left, they are always trying to find useful idiots in the west that is the term that lenin used here to carry over on their cause. Lisa you have 2 billion facebook users each month. Harris they did. I dont know if they are picking up like that. They are losing followers. Lisa you can find
anybody doing anything with that many people worldwide using facebook. They havent been able to tie some of the accounts to russia either. Marie but many have. Lisa there are people harris there are people want to influence the democratic process. Dont miss what david pointed to. They are dividing us along the culture and racial lines because they know we will fight in the streets before we ever love on each other enough to know the enemy is outside. David they get more violence. Marie harris is right. May are trying to get more violent. This is bad for the democracy. Facebook really has to take a look at what their business to be used for. Harris we have to look at what we want to be like as a country. David bottom line is folks, im afraid to say, you cannot outlaw useful idiots. They were here in the early part of the 20th century and they will be here in the latter part of the 20th century. Melissa delete your facebook account. Im out. Harris we said the same thing. Time for selfreflection, america. Harris get along. Lisa be nicer to people. Harris it would be harder to divide us. Another fox news alert now. Melissa Chuck Schumer, fellow democrats and the political activists holding a rally to call to block the nomination of president Trumps Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh. Yesterday, senator chalmer repeated demands for release of all documents related to kavanaughs time working in the bush white house. That request would reportedly surpass 1 million documents. Watch. The senate must have the records spanning judge kavanaughs career as a public servant. What are they hiding . Why is there such an effort not to have the documents come forward when that has been the bipartisan precedent of this body harris precedent of this body . Melissa despite the pressure, joe manchin met with kavanaugh and donnelly is planning to meet as well. Majority whip john cornyn says senator schumer is trying to delay. Watch. Now we are engaged in what i call the great paper chase. This leaves me with the inescapable conclusion this is all about footdragging and delay. They know that they cant attack him based on qualifications, based on his character. And now its all about paper and delay and obstruction. Melissa interesting stuff. Do you think this is the best move for democrats . Marie im sort of in the middle here. I do think the senate has a right to advise and consent on the Supreme Court nominees and any paper throughout in the history directly relevant to how he would do his job is something the senate should have. I think its a fair ask to make. Whether the documents are part of when he worked at the white house or not, i dont know. Some might not be relevant. I argued, the democrats, sorry to say, well lose the fight and he will probably be confirmed. If that is the case i dont think that the Democratic Party should draw it out closer to the midterms because all it does is fire up the republicans. If we are going to lose anyway, lets lose quickly and move to the issues we want to talk about on the campaign trail. I dont know if the democrats in the senate are listening to me on this but thats where my analysis is. Lisa i agree with you. Marie fox news alert lisa were having a moment on the couch. Marie harf and i agree. Were in uniform, my friend. David pull back. Marie we can go home. David he is nowhere near as conservative as Antonin Scalia was. Antonin scalia was the most conservative justice in my lifetime to be on the court. You know what he was confirmed by . 980 by the u. S. Senate. 980. Much more conservative than Brett Kavanaugh. What are the democrats complaining about . Harris a different political climate. Disagreeing with the opposite side of the aisle didnt mean you had to hate them. There is meanspiritedness on capitol hill. Not everybody but enough of that Disease Thinking that it gets everybody saying no, ill retreat to my corner. What marie said is interesting because not only does the fight hurt the democrats as it gets closer to the midterm, it hurts everybody. People will just decide not to vote. To me that is the greatest crime and the greatest heartbreak in all of this. No matter whom you vote for. There are people who gave it all so we could go to the polls. Suffrage, gave life. Get to the polls and believe your vote counts. When you see both sides like this, its over an issue that is settled. David it used to be about the qualifications, whether somebody was qualified or not. Not on the basis if they were on the left or the right. It was based on the qualifications and its no longer based on the
qualifications. Its based on the abstract ideologies. Harris look at the capitol hill rally going on now . We should tell everybody. Melissa we said in the beginning that this is the rally going on. And why we are doing the segment. They are right there talking about Brett Kavanaugh and not wanting to have him confirmed. I think Merrick Garland would think they should wait for a while. Lisa the white house released more documents from kavanaughs Executive Branch Experience than any other Supreme Court nominee before. They have been transparent to put the documents out. Obviously schumer, his interest is doing whatever he can to throw it out there and slow the process. I agree with marie. We had a moment. Harris it was lovely. These are the individuals that voted for gorsuch. And rand paul is on board. This is happening. Marie i dont like its happening. Lisa but its happening. Melissa its interesting and sad its completely political. Like you said, Merrick Garland. And before that, it has now come dun to are you going to support my position or not as a Supreme Court justice . That is not what the Supreme Court was supposed to be. They resisted it. David democrats in red states have to bend to the reality Harris Joe Manchin met with him yesterday. David as well. Heidi heitkamp, et cetera. There will be a handful of democrats. But now that you have rand paul there is virtually no opposition. We dont know about mccain but there is no opposition among republicans. Melissa President Trump calling on congress to fund the border wall or face a Government Shutdown. Is the president going a good job of banging the drum on an issue important to his base . Or could his threat backfire with less than 100 days to go before the midterms . Plus, President Trump could soon up the ante in the trade
battle with china as we learn the white house is considering new tariffs on beijing. So will the president s plan to narrow the Trade Deficit work . Well discuss that coming up. President trump this has been too many years of abuse. 500 billion a year. 500 billion. We have helped rebuild china. We cant do that anymore.

President trump democrat party, they want to abolish i. C. E. In other words they want to let ms13 rule our country. Thats not going to happen. Every day the brave men and women of i. C. E. Liberate towns from savage gangs like ms13 that are occupying our country like another nation would. We want maximum Border Security and respect for our heroes, i. C. E. , Border Patrol and Law Enforcement. Harris President Trump ripping democrats over the immigration in his rally in florida. This is after he threatened to shut down the government as democrats in congress refuse to support funding for the border wall and other immigration proposals. The president tweeted
i dont care what the political ramifications are. Our Immigration Laws and Border Security have been a complete and total disaster for decades and there is no way that the democrats will allow it to be fixed without a Government Shutdown. Border security is now National Security. And National Security is the longterm viability of our country. A Government Shutdown is a very small price to pay for a safe and prosperous america he likes the exclamation point. Yesterday, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says he supports the president s border wall but he does not want to see the shutdown. I support what the president is trying to do on the wall. Most of my members do as well. We are trying to go through a normal appropriations process that prevents a big vent at the end of the face big event at the end of the fiscal year that is too common around here. Harris he and the House Speaker and the house feel this way. Democratic Senate LeaderChuck Schumer says he is working with republicans and he just wants the president to butt out. We are making very good progress. The fly in the ointment here of course is the president who keeps brandishing his sword and threatening. Harris the president is set to meet with the republican senators in the oval office today. And the subject of immigration is sure to come up again. So, you have paul ryan, speaker of the house. Mitch mcconnell on the republican side and democrats saying no, no, no to shutdown. Is this swamptastic behavior or should the president hold on until after the election. David it is swamptastic. Schumer was blamed for the last shutdown. There are two sides. Political and the economic side. I went back to the economic side and the markets do well in the partial Government Shutdowns. Markets dont do so badly,
particularly if the economy is doing well. We know the economy is booming now. We just had a wage figure of increase 2. 8 . We havent had an increase like that in ten years. The economy is booming. Markets are doing okay. I think the economy, politically as i said, schumer was blamed for the last one. 2013. There was a shutdown that republicans were blamed for but it didnt hurt them in the 2014 midterms. Who knows . Harris marie, i want to go to you. Before we talked about the previous issues and you said it Doesnt Behoove us to argue about these things. Lets
