gentlemen, welcome to you both. i see in the last few minutes we ve had a thank you note from the president of the united states, who is saying on twitter, thank you for so and there s multiple o s, the way some people do, so many nice comments regarding my oval office speech. a very interesting experience. what tells me we ll hear more about that interesting experience? james, where do you put the politics of all of this right now in the wake of the president s speech tonight? i don t think anything happened tonight. i mean we had a remarkable night. we had a president that gave a speech that didn t want to give the speech. we had networks that covered the speech that didn t want to cover the speech. we had democrats that responded to the speech that didn t want to respond to the speech. and the value of your news judgment was justified when in the first ten minutes of your program you talked about mueller and not the speech. the political effect of this is less than zero. he does
you can say whatever the hell flies into your mind. i appreciate it, brian. i think your news judgment was right on. i m busting to talk about that clemson victory last night. but anyway, michael, mr. chairman, it has been said that the reason this isn t coming up in the senate, this connell is covering this with his body because he may not have the votes to protect this president s flank. what s the level of discomfort among members of your party? it s high. it s very high. i think that s a perfect analysis. he doesn t have the votes to protect this president s flank. in fact, you ve got republicans now up to three, and while folks will say, that s not a lot, it s a big shift to have three of those senators, the latest being lisa murkowski coming and moving away from the president on this issue. you know, in one of these rare moments, i m in agreement with
