bill: john ratcliffe republican from texas leading the questioning this afternoon what has turned out to be a good turnout. they expected upwards of 50,000. don t know what the numbers are. that s a healthy showing. sandra: thanks to the congressman for his time. i felt like i needed to dig up the brexit vote to remind everybody as we see the streets of london filling there that those that voted to leave the e.u. won. remember these numbers 51.9% to 48.1%, bill. 72% voter turnout for that, 30 million people voted in that brexit vote and it was fascinating to see the president of the united states and theresa may, the prime minister, addressing how that is all going this morning. bill: so much of brexit is about making decisions for yourselves as opposed to allowing to outsource it a commission in brussels, belgium and that s what the people in the u.k. were looking at when they took that vote. march of next year is the plan.
messages that say f trump, impeach trump, stop trump, trump should lose 100 million to zero but none of that is bias against trump. i don t find that credible. most american people don t find that credible, then bob mueller will have a real credibility problem with respect to his conclusions that are based upon all the evidence collected by peter strzok. sandra: we ll get back to this in a second, congressman ratcliffe. i want to bring everybody s attention to the screen. we continue to show live shots as you ve been speaking about the fiery exchanges we saw on capitol hill yesterday but there are multiple organized protests happening in the streets of london right now as bill mentioned 3:00 local time in the afternoon london time. most of these started around 11:00 in the morning. the president has responded to what he has seen so far saying he feels unwelcome. these are anti-trump protests filling the streets. they are against the president s policies, they say.
there is even an orange trump balloon that has been floating around the streets of london. if i could, congressman ratcliffe, i don t know that you can see what we re seeing right now but it is tens of thousands of protestors is all we can tell you at this point filling the streets there. if you could weigh in on what we re seeing. well, sandra, those don t look much different like the protests that donald trump saw the day he got sworn into office in this country. you know, that s what happens when you are trying to break up the status quo, when you take on the establishment, and when you try and change the things about government that people have hated for decades and decades. and again, i think we should all really give president trump credit for his willingness to take that on and in the face of those kinds of protests to do the things he said he would do, to keep the promises he said he would keep, and he is trying to do that in europe today and he
pipeline in russia that we can talk about right now with house judiciary committee member and the man who will lead the questioning for lisa page later today john ratcliffe. before we talk about what is expected later today in the u.s. and capitol hill reflect on what you are hearing out of england and this relationship with theresa may and where we are with nato. what is your feeling here now? i think donald trump is doing the things over in europe that we ve seen him do here in the united states, which is break up the status quo. i think most americans are glad to see a president standing up for america, putting america first on the world stage even with some of our allies who maybe haven t treated us perfectly fairly as the president would say, and so, you know, all of this is a negotiation that ultimately i think will put the united states on a level playing field with all of our partners around the world. so i m pleased with what he has
chapter of we keep seeing where some in the fake news want to say that he is diminishing america s place in the world but you hear these world leaders come out after and say they respect him and like him. listen, he gives the unvarnished truth. sometimes he is not as diplomatic as even i would like but at the end of the day again you have to look at the results and accomplishing the things he said he would do for us as americans first, and he is. bill: john ratcliffe. thank you for your time. our headliner from capitol hill. lisa page, what time is it 1:00 or 1:30. 1:30. bill: how long do you expect that to go today? it will go as long as she is willing to stay and it will continue on monday. but it is important because we ll get the other side of the coin. we ll get the other half of the conversation from those text messages and ultimately we ll report to the american people what she says.
