watch this. the fact that he s using a security clearance of a former cia director as a pawn in his public relations strategy, i think, is just so reflect i have of somebody who, quite frankly i don t want to use this term maybe but he s drunk on power. of. kristin: drunk on power. quite a phrase. kevin, i ll start with you. do you agree? [laughter] well, i think john brennan could also be accused of being drunk on power. look, if trump goes on this spree of revoking security clearances of people who are political opponents, that is not going to stand, it s not going to work, it s unconstitutional. unfortunately, for the critics of this administration, there s enough meat there to justify revoking john brennan s security clearance. when you read the press be release from the white house, the entire idea that he lied to congress in 2014, unfortunately, there s just not a lot to defend john brennan on on this one. kristin: amanda, jump in here.
it looks like we are having technical difficulty with you, kevin. we ll try one more time. okay. i apologize, kevin. we ll work on that and get back to you in a couple seconds. joel, do you agree that it is pretty much baked at this point. folks are not watching on a sunday, certainly roy moore is not out today. well, turnout matters and clearly the ground game is going to impact whether or not the voters come out from the african-american, first and foremost. but really, this is a sad commentary on the state of republican politics right now where they are willing to chi being accused of child molestation, looking for moles to find young girls, it is remarkable that republicans are still willing to support him. the president is calling robocalls. and the senate can t let this
remember that he s broken step with the party. it could potentially be very powerful. kurt, do you agree with that? the issue of the roboocall and hitting on key points in the robocall. as we look at the transcript, he s bringing up veterans, that s just some of what he s talking ab. put that all together, could that swing it to roy moore? no, i don t think it is too late for any republican to create the distance from roy moore. that time is long since past. we are less than 48 hours. i question how many people in alabama are sitting around watching a sunday show today and are going to determine their vote based on that appearance. i think, at the end of the day, chips fall where they are going to fall. i think it is likely roy moore wins this thing because so many republicans were silent and missing in action during the entire campaign. kevin, do you believe it is baked as well? kevin, can you hear me?
joining me is the former deputy assistant of state joel reuben, republican strategist and co-found co-founder, kevin paul scott. joyce vance is here. and former breitbart spokesman, kurt bardella. thank you to all four. since you are there on the ground, joyce, with senator shelby saying, i m going to go for the write-in candidate. i have to vote for a republican here. how much effect do you think that might have there? reporter: this could have a tremendous effect if word is successfully conveyed to republican alabama voters. having senator shelby who is in many ways the senior leadership of the party, is giving voters permission to write in a candidate of their own choice rather than voting for moore could tip voters on the fence down here. he s well liked, he s well thought of and always supports the republican hierarchy. this is the only time that i can
