i m aware rhubarb is not a synonym for andre but he has said elsewhere this was nonsense when challenged on this was nonsense when challenged on this allegation before. he is helped by the defence secretary ben wallace who said he was in charge of movements in and out of kabul airport and wasn t influenced by the prime minister, but this allegation is continuing because the animal rights campaigner dominic daya has repeated his claim the prime minister was involved and there are e mails given to the commons foreign affairs committee yesterday from a foreign office official that said the prime minister had authorised this. he s proud of the operation of getting people in and out of kabul, the question is whether anyone was left behind because of penn farthing s animals. find left behind because of penn farthing s animals.- left behind because of penn farthing s animals. and in the meantime farthing s animals. and in the meantime everyone farthing s animals. and in the meantime ever
any word on protests? planned? i m not aware of any organized protests tomorrow. can you talk about man power, is there extra police on the scene at the routes, what is that going to look like? with any presidential visit, our motorcade going back decades, that is the case. sir, at the white house kellyanne conway suggested that secret service had communicated to the president that both dayton and el paso are safe and ready for the president s visit. would you agree with that characterization and is dayton ready at this moment. we are always ready for any kind of dignitary protection assignment. like i said, going back decades we ve provided those and sometimes multiple occasions per year. so, yes. given the circumstances that happened here. that is correct. we are ready. thank you. could i ask one more question of the agent. you said he wasn t influenced by events in el paso, correct? i didn t say that. no, i said we don t not developed any evidence at this
and, you know, you have to understand that there has to be a presumption of innocence. people who don t understand there s a presumption of innocence shouldn t be serving on the judiciary committee. can i ask you is a political entity because of the way things are chosen, people are chosen, justices are chosen. we get that. but elena kagan last night said something, it s not an extension of politics but somehow above the fray. yes. does this body makeup of these nine in the wake of everything we ve seen this week, the last several weeks, will it be able to stay that way? will it stay above the perceived fray? it all depends on if people want to denigrate the court the way the trump administration has denigrated the justice department and the fbi. and so, look, i think susan collins had it right. merrick garland was denied a vote, that was wrong.
senators you think of senator heitkamp in north dakoda and she s saying, even if this hurts me politically. joe manchin is obviously making a different decision. he says it wasn t influenced by politics. it s pretty clear that joe manchin was thinking about whether or not he d get re-elected when he thought about this vote. do you think there will be any effect of donald trump jr. essentially tweeting and trolling joe manchin by calling him out for this vote and asking west virginians to vote for the republican candidate for senate? it s kind of remarkable to see the president s son and maybe later we ll see the president do it attack joe manchin when he voted for their supreme court nominee. but joe manchin is still a democrat. we re likely to see the president and other people attack him and try to get him out of office because at the end of the day, joe manchin is voting for this supreme court justice but it s not as if he s a reliable conservative vote
hiller, republican incumbent, running for re-election. he is the only republican incumbent running in 2018 in a state that donald trump lost in 2016. hillary clinton carried nevada. it was a couple points. but this was a clinton state with a republican incumbent running in 2018 and here s heller who voted for this nomination. the congresswoman running against him, she says she s against the nomination. we talk about, do the politics cut in favor of those democrats breaking with their party in those big trump states? do the politics potentially cut against the republican, siding with trump in the clinton state? that s the question for heller. poll this week from cnn put him down four points. it s been a very competitive race. but this one and arizona where there s an open seat, the two most vulnerable republican spots on the map in this vote. certainly in terms of getting democrats out to the polls in nevada, this vote is going to loom large. i got to ask you this
