i don t think we should have a debate in front of the press on this. let us have our conversation and we can meet with the press again. jason: she didn t want openness and transparency. she wanted to go behind closed doors. let s not forget she s the same woman who said in this march of 2010 during the height of the obamacare debate, remember what she said? we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversies. jason: yeah, transparency. joining me now, the new ranking member of the house judiciary committee, doug collins of georgia. congressman, thank you for joining us. congratulations on this new post a new assignment as the ranking member of house judiciary. you ve got a lot on your plate but you are fresh off the floor. you just have votes, including about that the democrats put up, correct, to do with homeland security but not the border wall. what happened? they did what they said they
weary democrat, like slotkin, i made this pledge, there needs to be leadership. what s the case? the case is clear. nancy pelosi is a good portion of the reason that we had the issue that won these seats for so many of these members. we have 35 pickups as of now. we had a huge victory across america. that was primarily over protecting pre-existing conditions and making sure people have access to health care. she was architect of passage of the affordable care act. she deserves and gets credit for that. extraordinarily painful process for anyone that wants to rewatch those episodes. january to march of 2010 if you rewatch episodes and binge watch the democratic party back then, you would learn that. it was just like most legislative processes, you don t want to watch sausage be made. at the end of the day, we add 20
situation. imagine, ali, in march of 2010 sorry, march of 2016, that was a very last time we counted the numbers of casualty in yemen. every now ask then we hear about casualties. we say more than 10,000 people were killed, because no international body have been able to count the casualties since march of 2018 the numbers are way more than that. so one of the very first things we need to do is we need to know the extent of this humanitarian disaster in yemen. also there is no independent body in existence today to monitor the alleged war crimes in the country. you know, the saudis investigate their own actions. right. which is basically ridiculous in so many different ways and the united states need to stop the unquestionable carte blanche that we gave not only the trump administration, but under obama administration we have been friendly with the saudis a long time. u.s. presence in yemen, in my mind, it started with you and
allies in the world, and they need us to respond jointly, not just leaving great britain to have this response to russia on their own. donald trump has fired rex tillerson today. we re hearing word that h.r. mcmaster could go at some point. where do we stand on foreign policy? what does this shake up today and maybe the shake ups down the line, what does it mean for how we deal with countries? i just want people to reflect for a moment how many people have left this administration in top jobs. you know, i worked in the obama administration. i was in the white house, you know, so march of 2010, we had no senior person leave at this time. it is extraordinary. and it s especially extraordinary because president trump has just signed up the united states of america for the most important diplomatic negotiation maybe in decades, by agreeing to engage with the
happens and the final senate vote either later today or tomorrow and it will be on president trump s desk, they predict by tomorrow. well, they said they were going to have a christmas law. so that s what they re delivering on. it s been characterized by the president, as we know, as a big christmas present. this is the exact process that republicans criticized when democrats passed a partisan bill that was unpopular. the polling on this tax bill is worse than the polling on obamacare at the very same time in march of 2010. they passed it without republicans. they lost the house in a huge wave election in 2010. president trump s numbers are worse than obama s were at that time. the tax bill is more unpopular than obamacare was at that time. in all the generic polling advantage that we see for democrats in poll after poll, different ones, we re seeing wave numbers, which means between 8% and 15% advantage. this is really a grave concern
