cia believes that the russians hacked in order to help donald trump. you have clearly some intel agencies that are not on the same page when it comes to this. right. now, nunez is trying to figure this out and he calls this committee hearing and gets the heisman award from the intel agencies, we re not going. now, how are the electors who are asking for intel briefings to feel confident about that to me is inexplicable. put aside the dissention about the motive. there is one thing that is almost unanimous, which is that russia accounted hacked. russia wanted to sow doubts among americans about their own electoral process. that s a real cyber attack and it s really serious. that s something that donald trump, so far the only prominent american that we know of, who has completely rejected that finding that russia hacked. as a matter of fact, he said it could have been a 400-pound guy
understand that the alternative, of course, is to see an opportunity for democrats to try to demagogue or divide the process. so i think that you ll see republicans come together. it won t certainly be a unanimous vote, but i think he will prevail handily tomorrow. reporter: but paul ryan said he would only do this job if he had the support of the full republican conference. do you think he actually has that? i do. i think that we all understand the moment in this country. we understand that we have a president that holds himself unconstrained to the strugs to the truth of his own words and we have been stalemated here primarily by democrats in the senate that won t allow bills to come to the floor in the senate. the house has passed almost every bill that the republican base wanted us to pass only to see it not even debated in the senate. that s the reason for the dissention in this house and consequently we need a communicator like paul ryan that can properly delineate that to th
smell on both side. the polls show a lot of things a couple years out. in this sense, though, alan, you say you are a liberal rather than a democrat. does that put you more in the elizabeth warren camp. she ll not say she is running in the present tense. is there going to be a draft warren race and is that what we are seeing by some democrats to take shots at hillary? i m probably more in sync with elizabeth warren than i am with hillary clinton. but elizabeth washen isn t running. those on the right would like to create a contest between elizabeth warren and hillary clinton. the right would like to create the visions on the left to show dissention but i m not sure
contractually and i appreciate the value of collegiality, listening. i need people around me to help me make better decisions. having said that, everything we hear from inside the walls of the vatican, and he told people to stop gossiping by the way. there were some people who were nervous. they have been there a long time. they re much more conservative an this pope seems to be. i asked dave gibson from the religious news service about how these conservatives are dealing. this is what he told me. 30 years now they have had it pretty good. there s a lot of dissention there about this pope, a lot of concern that he s undoing things that they have worked for. if he gets a real push back from the right, it could spell trouble for his papacy. how much of a risk is pope francis taking? and he s moving fast, by the way. he s moving very fast. i remember when he was elected, it was only a couple of hours before that you and i were talking looking over st. peter s square and he was 76
local budget and the other budgets is breaking my heart. we can understand the exasperation here. she was supporting some bills that would have funded d.c. and the department of veteran affairs and national parks. democratic congresswoman eleanor holmes norton joins me now. thanks for joining us. obviously your district is feeling the shutdown more than any other in the country. your colleague, darrell issa, joined in your plea last night. and you reminded all of your colleagues that this was not a tea party bill, but those efforts, they still failed and fell on deaf ears. so what s happening today and do you really have any hope left for a speedy resolution? let me distinguish, i was not supporting all of the three bills. i was supporting one bill. one of the reasons i can t support all of the three bills is that it would defy the dissention i m making. the bill that i m supporting had only the district of columbia
