involved. the majority of of the house select committee and chairman schiff has prevented some to have lawyers for the administration to come in and be there with the folks that were testifying, that s not a fair process. if we are interested in trying to uncover the truth, let s not let s not put our thumb on the scales but unfortunately that s what this process has been and what s even crazier is they are trying to have completed by the end of the year and i think we only have 16 or 17 legislative days left in the year, half of those days are fly-in, fly-out days where people are coming in from their locations, so to try to get that, try to pass nafta to fund the government, trying to do all that in that short period of time, i think that s next to impossible. chris: you talk about the extreme partisanship maybe on both sides, republicans and democrats in the house, you are not while you re supporting the
and he s violating the constitution. it s at an interesting juncture. the attorneys general have put in requests for discovery. they ve gotten that far on the case where they say, trump org, tell us all your foreign customers what they paid for and what they got. that s a first comprehensive accounting that anybody outside trump s business has gotten of who trump s foreign customers even are. and it seems there are no coincidences in trump world and saudis it seems like something you ll stay on. i want to ask about the saudi tactic of using veterans to lobby for their legislative goals. tell us more about that. this is really unusual. it s not it s very common for american domestic lobbying groups to do these fly-ins. they bring people to lobby their congressman. you see a fly-in of the iowa corn counsel or beef producers of texas. it s really unusual that a foreign government would organize something like this. especially that they d organize something and not tell the veterans
meetings that kushner had with leaders of the companies, and we have heard the reporting on potential vulnerabilities that he has when it comes to foreign allies and adversaries for that matter trying to influence him and seeing him as vulnerable to their ways, because of in part of his family business ties, and you are on the house ethics committ committee, and how should all of this be handled? well, the house ethics members deal with house issues, but we know what the proper distance is between the members and private groups and opportunities to benefit from your job. they are the same in almost any industry and particular ly in government. and the president has set a terrible precedent by maintaining interest in trump properties. we know that he talks to donald jr. and when donald jr. and eric try to go out the india and try to do trump deals, the countries and the businesses know it is donald trump, and he will benefit from it. and so does jared kushner and the kushner propertie
the birther movement, delegitimizing, trying to delegitimize the first african-american president. he campaigned with an agenda that steve bannon put forward by the alt right. the white supremacists and white nationalists. when you look at roy moore and what he stands for, what he has said, very similar. i mean, their agendas are the same. so it doesn t really surprise me he s down there campaigning and supporting him but i m very confident that people of conscious and the voters will see both donald trump and roy moore for who they are and make sure this man does not come to the united states senate. to your point op roy moore, that he was someone with support from confederates or sort of confederate nostalgics, opposed removing segregationist language from the constitution. ly in some of the flyers going out down there.
unscripted moments. very different from the speech we heard in saudi arabia. this is when you have president trump and the president of israel and at some point benjamin netanyahu having candid conversations about the concerns they have about where they all fall. brian: one of the things i have always wanted to see is the conversations on the mound between the pitchers, catchers and managers. come out. never get a microphone when leaders greet each other on the tarmac. today we got the microphone u inside guys, ladies too, as this happened. let s bring in dory gold the long time israeli official and former israeli ambassador to the united nations. mr. ambassador, so far so good. good morning. well, you know, all we did was have a plane fly in, a very historical fly-in. a fly and it came from saudi arabia. but, obviously, i think the people of israel are very excited, particularly after the speech that president trump gave there, which i think was waivedly appreciated
