Knowledge, why are we talking about it today? the victim of the alleged incident has told friends she doesn t remember. there will be an ending pressure, not today or tomorrow, on ending pressure the democra democrats. there is a cloud over brett kavanaugh that he says will be there forever. john? this is the real agenda going on behind us. this is about people who want to deny the results of the 2016 election. president trump said he would appoint conservative justices like brett kavanaugh, and this is much worse. it s a misuse of the impeachment power to try to attack the idea of an independent judiciary.
in 2018, the u.s. district court in maryland ruled racine and frosh s lawsuit could proceed. but in july 2019, a panel of three judges, appointed by republican presidents in the fourth circuit court of appeals, ordered that the case be dismissed. they found that maryland s and d.c. s ags didn t have standing to bring the lawsuit, and also found that the link between government officials patronage of the hotel and the hotel s payments to the president himself was simply too attenuated or weak. the president won this round, but keep in mind there are two other separate emoluments lawsuits, from a citizens action group, and one from house democra democrats. they re also still in the courts. that means the stage is still set to figure out whether donald trump really did violate the oath he took on day one of his presidency. preserve, protect, and
Dangerous journey north. now congress has to act. with mexico is doing on their southern border, with their agreement now to have 100% of asylum seekers from central america remain in mexico, the truth is in the last ten days mexico has done more to secure our southern border than democra democrats in congress have done in the last ten years and that has to change. okay, and i m not disputing what you re saying there but i would say that i m talking about the kids on our southern border right now, and you have the power right now to go back to the white house and say we need to make sure that these kids, first of all, that there are people taking care of them so it s not 12-year-olds taking care of 3-year-olds, and second of all, that they have soap, toothbrushes, combs, we re taking care so that they don t all get the flu. you know that. jake, i ve been down there. head down there, go look around. our customs and border protection personnel are dedicated men and women. they are do

It s so much like 2016 when i said 2016 was not about trump, it was about hillary clinton. you ask why they support donald trump and they talk about democra democrats. they don t talk about donald trump. it s like i don t want this person to be president, i don t want that person to be president. those people don t understand me, they re from another world. it s this disconnect that somehow this manhattan billionaire, supposed billionaire, has figured out how to connect on with people in middle america and democrats still aren t. joe, i don t disagree with that assessment. i think it s fairly accurate. nor do i disagree with michael claiming and legitimately so that the state of the economy has a lot to do with those numbers that we just read. there was a blizzard of numbers there. i think, though, there s a little something larger going on and i think what it is is those numbers that we just read at
