like 20 people they want interviewed. i think the white house is responding, i would suspect, to questions from republicans and most likely senator flake. we just heard him say he had been in discussions with the wlo white house all day yesterday. he was on the phone with them five minutes ago. the white house needs to produce an investigation that will satisfy him so they can get his vote. i think that s what s at work. they know they can t produce a sham investigation. you re seeing a lot of democrats saying it s a sham. it s a railroad job. it s a farce. i wonder if this has come into consideration with anybody in the white house but the approval ratings for judge kavanaugh among the public are extraordinarily low for people who want to see him confirmed it s somewhere in the 30 something percent. that s extraordinarily and historically low for a supreme
issue in 2016. this was not trump, russia, the sort of stuff we talk about in terms of russia and collusion. that s exactly right. it was a little broader than that. it included text messages that were going back and forth between peter strzok and lisa page that addressed this other issue of an fbi employee who had given a heads-up to john podesta. there was a lot in there. but it focused on what was done during the campaign by the fbi and wlo there had been a violation against the fbi s prohibitions in their investigations. what it found was there were things they were worried about red flags raised but the investigations were not tainted by that bias. when the president says he s been exonerated, is there any sense what he s referring to, something he can hang that on? is there any sense what that reference means. i m skeptical president trump read the document. what i would guess is the president trump makes broad
which is that somehow the vice president mike pence has got a real talent for being out of washington when trouble hits the wlo white house and there tends to be a lot of trouble these days. what s pence saying about this? first off happy birthday. he does have this uncanny ability to not be around when a lot of the trouble especially around russia is swirling. part of that is he s on the road doing his duties as vice president. but part of it is he s a pretty strategic guy, a smart guy and somehow has not gotten caught up in a lot of the investigation. there s definitely parts of it where he ll get pulled in. for the most part when you hear these stories about the meetings that could be problematic in the white house or during the campaign, he wasn t around. remember, he s a very, very cautious, conservative, and pretty calculating guy. and so he knows what he s he knows the hand that he s playing. what i find interesting is even the people who are closest to him, i m always pokin
has been obstructed. it has been teamworked by the white house and unfortunately the chairman of the intel community, mr. nunes, i think now working in full concert to obstruct the investigation. so the reason you haven t heard all of these names like the one you just heard about in the guilty plea today is because we ve been hindered by both the wlo white house and the house investigation intel committee. okay. thank you very much, mike quigley, i appreciate that. glad to be here. when we come back, the president tweeting tonight in support of strengthening background checks, after earlier today instructing the justice adopt propose a rule to ban bump stocks. but will any of this actually come to fruition? introducing dell cinema. technology with incredible color, sound and streaming. just as the creators intended.
enough to know he doesn t need a permission slip from donald trump to move forward with anything. but this is the manner in which republican leaders are conflicted. they either move forward with an issue that s dwivisive or they take heat. and mcconnell may be realizing he may not get the cover and it sounds like the senate republican leader wlo by the way has voted against the dream act on numerous occasions when it s come up now wants to move forward with it. we ll see where he goes. thank you so much. clearly a very important day on the hill. i want to take you back there as we are counting down to noon where there s going to be a vote that could reopen the government. right now several meetings are under way behind the scenes. all this while hundreds of thousands of federal workers are worrying about their pay. i m going to get you an update on negotiations from republican
