and the profiling. sandra: we want to bring in ken paxton. he joins us now as we look on capitol hill. can come if i could get you to weigh in, day three now of these hearings following some pretty tense and mike exchanges yesterday. nothing surprising, obviously, the democrats are going to try to do anything to her home office again. this guy s well-prepared. he has an incredible background, a great judicial background. also, an amazing education. very likely he s going to continue to shine. sandra: what do you make of what you have seen so far as far as some of the heated exchanges that we have seen as we enter into this thursday morning as we look on at judge kavanaugh in this hearing room? i guess i m not surprised, given the importance of this. i m not surprised there s a lot of emotion and opinions on this. that s fine, that s why we have
hearings. in the end, i hope that judge kavanaugh that the decisions are based on his real qualifications, not some political ideology. sandra: while i have got you, ken, if i could ask you about the justice department saying it will investigate the social media giants like facebook and twitter and whether or not they are intentionally censoring conservatives. this has been a big question for a while now. do you believe that that is the case? i am really pleased that the justice department is looking at this. we have started looking at it, i have directed my office to look at it, because we have incidences in my state we had a church he was advertising for easter services, and some have facebook blocked them. we had to intervene and undo that. we were able to come and there was never a good exultation. they talk about these algorithms that we don t understand. as we go through the process, we
sandra: this coming into our newsroom, there is an active shooter situation being reported by the cincinnati police right now. what they have tweeted out is that there is an active shooter, an officer involved in a shooting incident come at fifth third bank. in the lobby and loading dock area. more decent details to follow, they say the police will be clog it to foot traffic. for the report say that the atf is on the scene, and the scene has been secured. we are only going off of reports there. other than that, we have that tweet from cincinnati police. we will keep following this. bill: another alert, day three of the brett kavanaugh confirmation hearings about to get underway. it could be another grueling session. they went 13 hours yesterday. democratic senators pressing him on everything from executive power to the mueller matter late last night. shannon bream was there for all of it. she is back lives, shannon, good morning to you. what is your expectation as we
