completely unpredictable. listen to her words. i don t believe he went to maliciously murder. does that mean he was a train wreck that ended up escalating a situation where someone was killed? she goes on to say they made the decision, the jury made the decision that he wasn t guilty. well, shellie, what decision did you make in your mind? did you think he was guilty? she won t accept responsibility and puts it on the jury. so she knew something, and she feels that the jury let him get away with it, not her. well, let s play something else she said. because she said in the last year and a half saying she s now afraid of him. i know you stood by george during the course of that explosive trial. did you have your doubts back then? i don t know that i let myself get so deep in thought.
deliberative body, but i believe it has to work for the american people. i think the actions that senator reid took today was on behalf of the american people to make the senate function. it s not functioning. i think it s interesting the senate, which after all has passed a number of important things this year, wasn t functioning for the president on his terms, and this was one more step to give president obama even more power and even more control. it s interesting to me that every democrat who is up for reelection next year except one voted to give president obama more power, and i suspect that will come back to haunt them. we ll debate that in the next few minutes. we will. in the crossfire tonight senator bernie sanders and senator john hovan. i think these a very historic vote. i don t think it s a tactic. if you watch the president s press conference, the entire opening is a litany of legislative problems.
when there s only been 85 done in history. i make it simple, krystal. it s a yes or no vote. it s just that simple. now it s a yes or no vote. 51 yes, it goes. if it s lower than 51, it s no and it doesn t pass. no games in between. and this is only a nominee. this is not legislation. right. and it s not even on supreme court nominees. so when they play this game, the republicans, that the sky is falling, it does not mean legislation and it does not mean supreme court. it means on administrative and judicial nominees other than the supreme court. and it also makes the senate function. because before it wasn t functioning. and the day the president talked about the change was about fixing that. look at this. it s no secret that the american people have probably never been more frustrated with washington. and one of the reasons why that is is that over the past five
they couldn t continue if the government wasn t functioning. now that is likely perhaps not to happen, the black hawk, the backbone of the combat helicopter fleet gets troops in and out of the war zone safely, med-evacs them when shot. hagel says systems like that have to be kept running, they need maintenance, spare parts, logistics, their production line. he doesn t want to see that stuff shut down. black hawk is a real example. could save thousands of worker jobs and bring back thousands of civilians working for the defense department. fascinating stuff. all right. a couple moving parts in this slow moving situation involving the government shutdown and furloughed workers. barbara starr, appreciate that. sure. everyone is looking to where is anthony bourdain going next? he is going to copenhagen this weekend on parts unknown. he tries a local favorite on the
maintained heavy presence on fox news the past week including praising trump s decision on north korea. thank you very much. outfront next experts for the hour. thanks to you will an of you. sam, you worked as former security adviser for obama, for president obama. this is a major shake-up when you look at it, obviously, timing tbt and we know the president likes to spring it on people with surprise as he did this morning with rex tillerson. what does this mean, mcmaster, possible kelly. what? i think it could all actually be a red hearing. the president does not use his staff like other presidents have in the past. we are hearing about state department for example rex tillerson was a lame duck. he wasn t functioning as secretary of state. so his removal may not throw anything off course. could be outstanding question is whether mike pompeo is going to be authorized to act like a secretary of state to suggest policy, to implement policy.
