promised i.c.e. raids the president walked back. for the raids it was a governing threat time to add heat to his 2020 kickoff, using the power of i.c.e. and the feds to hype his own campaign roll out on i am zbrags. by this weekend, donald trump all but admitted that was essentially a head fake part of this pattern of head fakes. and this is important to understand the iran news tonight because sometimes you have a president literally creating the appearance of a problem so that he alone can solve it. it often begins with some dined of tough talk, a reaction, concern over the public plan announced by a president, but often in the end it doesn t happen. so there was the iran strike. you remember that, of course. there are these i.c.e. raids that were canceled this weekend. or more recently there were those mexico terrorists. tweet, hype, but then fold. and it s more than simply blag f playing for distraction something donald trump has been doing because he s an entertainer. the message
won t be as dramatic. if it had been judge barrett, i think we might see an ideological dramatic change she will vote clearly to overrule roe versus wade. the president does head fakes. don t be surprised if there s a surprise. yeah. professor dershowitz, appreciate it. as always, we heard the road to senate confirmation won t be a particularly easy one. joining us is richard blumenthal. senator, thanks very much. we re getting our first look at the east room where this announcement will shortly be made. some systenate democrats said t will vote against that person no matter who is nominated tonight. anderson, i served as law clerk to justice blackman of the united states supreme court, the year after he wrote the roe v. wade opinion. and i have argued cases for them in the united states supreme court. i have extraordinary reverence and respect for the court and its justices.
the question marks remain on the washington side. north korean is capable of two days before the summit, saying we ve been misled, the negotiations aren t going well, we need this concession, that concession. that is a regime that many, many times in dealing with the u.s. has tantalizingly seemed to offer things and pull it back. they could well be it will be important to watch what they do the next ten days as well. mara, i think you know, the reality is if you go back over the recent history of american and north korean relations, they have been characterized by north korea lying, cheating disdecemberibling, fraudulent behavior, head fakes. there s never they have never dealt with america in any circumstance as a good faith partner. so, again, we should all be hopeful because god knows denuclearization in the korean peninsula progress is to be wished for. is there any reason today we think it moves us closer to that or should all our skepticism be intact?
of this dispute, as i mentioned, at the top of the show, but today the press secretary did say trump believes moore should effective willy stay on the bal rejecting that hypothetical. then on fox news, the head fake end to all head fakes. it was just two days ago that sean hannity promised this. to me, the judge has 24 hours. you must immediately and fully come up with a satisfactory explanation for your inconsistencies. if he can t do this, then judge moore needs to get out of this race. that s about as clear a line you can draw. and then, by hannity s next show, there were four more accusers who had come forward. we ve covered that. and then hannity suddenly lost that clear line he drew and began punting, kind of like the white house. now sean hannity s deadline has come and gone, and his answer, the voters should decide. we demanded, rightly, answers from judge moore. he provided them to the specific questions we asked. i lived in alabama. i enjoyed my time in alabama. and i
him. they re not going to do it. the congress people will get nervous and they already are. when you see devin nunes backing away and saying the president is wrong, he is a trump loyalist. you alienate him, you have made him lookad. he d need that for his reelection. issa barely won reelection and is already gone. does the president need to put this to bed? it s my opinion that the president needs to move on soon from all these innuendos, whether they be exaggerations, facts or head-fakes. if you re going to do big budget stuff, big ideas, health care, you better keep your base intact. i get that the base is not enough to get elected, but you certainly don t want them fracturing. i see him adding to his base right now. you know, i am one who wants to move past the small stuff and let s get to the big stuff, do what the president said he
