tripling down in favor of kim jong un? with top administration officials and republicans this afternoon, my notebook tells me this current dynamic on american current policy is unlikely to change. acting secretary shanahan bowing out, meaning the pressure from senate republicans to nominate someone who is a low-key persona like veterans secretary, mr. dana wilkey. at the same time, you have mike pompeo with a real grip on foreign policy, mr. kushner and john bolton. that dynamic will continue. the idea of bringing in new hands like secretary mattis was, who had a counter view the way the president thinks is unlikely at this point. robert costa, i take your point. i wonder if the fact of pompeo and bolton are not performing as pompeo and bolton anymore,
the left wing gaffes have continued. we have to remind voters about kavanaugh because that is where we saw definitive turn in the polling. libd welcome biden and obama onto the campaign trail. the 2016 was a rejection of the obama presidency and bringing the establishment elite on the campaign trail helps us out quite a bit. bill: george bush is going to indiana as well. thank you for your time and we ll talk again next week. we love the dnc to come on and give a counter view. any time the invitation is out there. bottom of the hour congresswoman marsha blackburn out of tennessee is here. 11:00 we re joined by dean heller in nevada. there is a close ways in the american west. that s coming up a bit later today. back to julie across the room. julie: president trump talking tough on another big
with them. when you struggle as a country, we love the underdog. republicans sometimes are painted as the underdog. they take the underdog view on things. they re the counter view right now at least for the last however many years we ve had the same president. so, i do see that there is a reaction to that. the age group that we re talking about is going to come of age in the next few years, having watched that happen. so it will be interesting to see them grow to the polls. how much of being at mom s side on that critical day, when there was supposed war on women and mom was fighting for the hobby lobby and see those young face, they will vote in a few years. tell you what is happening in a lot of households. the parents are getting obamacare subsidies for health care costing them $15 a month. the republican comes in to try to say, you know what, we ll take that away from you? good luck with that. it is seductive to give people things. that is generationally, very hard to stop.
tea partier. he s a guy who actually was instrumental in passing the voting rights act that the supreme court just vacated and he is the republican out there saying we should put the voting rights act back in order. so i trust him more than i would your typical tea partyier, number one. number two, he acted at the same time as 99% of legislators did. they went overboard after 9/11. the only u.s. senate to vote against the patriot act was one guy, also from wisconsin, his name was russ feingold in the senate. now there s somebody who has bona fide regret over what has come of this program. it is too broad in his view. it s not what he intended at the time and he s stepping forward as a republican to say it s gone too far. david, that s an important point. i appreciate you knowing the legislative history. on the one hand you can say if mr. patriot act says it s too big, that raises pause. a counter view is a lot of republicans slept on this for eight years and all of a sudden
all said 3:30. to me that suggests this is a jury panel that s willing to take it through the week yen and come back next week. thart? let me give you is that right? let me give you a counter view. i think the winds of conviction blow through the courthouse on friday afternoon. i don t think this jury wants to come back next tuesday. i think they want to get the job done, they have probably worked their way through the indictment, they re probably pretty close. they ve been at it six days, this are only six counts. bill: why do you ask for 20 exhibits on a thursday afternoon, then? you re working your way through them, you re working your way through the indictment, you probably have questions to answer, you york your way, 1-6, meticulously, thoroughly. i think we re going to see an ending today. bill: john edwards was at baseball game this week, on wednesday there was a picture of him at the greensboro acc tournament there, he went back again on thursday. we re told he is ther
