too many republicans say they didn t even watch. and you say maybe they didn t watch. but they re paying attention. so what do you mean by that? i mean they re paying attention, how couldn t they be paying attention? they re hearing from the men and women who defend them every day and who are trying to keep them safe. that was very powerful, riveting testimony we heard from those officers who talked about what they experienced and they were using terms like terrorists to describe the people who attacked them. so i think these members look, it s true. they re busy during the day. they re not always sitting there glued to the television. but they re paying close attention to what s being said because they may be called in front of that same select committee to answer questions. and i think they want don, at the end of the day, they have to be very nervous about this. that s why they fought it so hard. everybody they all wanted an independent most of them wanted an independent c
be disruptive to the prison. that s the only reason. julie: how couldn t it be? this is bill cosby. everybody in america, everybody in the world knows who this man is. sometimes celebrity status can actually lessen the tension in the prison, if it becomes popular amongst other prisoners, other time the celebrity status could incease the tension in prison if the word in the prison alley way is this guy god off easy and we re going to compensate. julie: that s what i m saying he is not going to be greeted by happy guys. these are guys serving life behind bars for murder. so they are certainly not going to have any sympathy on this man. this is a cultural environment. unlike anything he has been in before. his lawyers did the right thing. they hired people. this is a cottage industry. they hired people who educate him about this cultural environment and how to live with minimal interference by other prisoners in this environment. julie: ultimately once you are convicted your optio
ruins the politics of america. he repeals basically the voting rights act by eliminating section v, a sacred right and i am worried judge gorsuch is similar. he s going to claim he s independent but he has not exhibited any real independence whatsoever. and with this president, independence is more called for than ever. you have been outspoken including talking to me on the show that there will be a filibuster. he s going to have to meet a 60-vote threshold, that republicans won t be aapprove him. in order to get to that 60-vote threshold, you need to hold 41 members of your own caucus together in order to get that filibuster threshold. are you sure you will have that? the white house and right wing media have said the filibuster won t hold. well, the good old right wing
