i'm jamie colby. thanks for watching "strange inheritance." and remember -- you can't take it with you. havr case. lou: good evening, everybody. our top stories. radical dems unleashing their coordinated attack on the senate judiciary committee and republican senators. the dems doing their worse to disrupt today's confirmation hearing for judge kavanaugh. capitol police have arrest 22 protesters for their vicious insults aimed at president trump and his supreme court nominee. and all timed to interrupt only republican senators. >> opinions upon what's the effective discharge. >> you are the nominee of president donald john trump.

this is a president who has shown us consistently that he's contemptuous of the rule of law. >> no one can select a judge in his own case. that's what the president is potentially doing here. lou: we'll take up today's hearings with judicial watch president tom fitton, republican strategist ed rollins. and nike telling its shareholder as encustomers effectively to go to hell, making collin kaepernick the new nays of the company's "just do it" campaign. we'll have reaction of the nfl to thement ka pai the campaign s nike done to its customer base. >> sorry nike. i have been buying you for the past 20-plus year. not anymore. lou: we take up the sneaker company's head long rush into the nfl anthem controversy. our panel tonight including rebecca rose woodland and

lawrence jones and tropical storm gordon is gaining strength as it beers bes down on the gulf cost. expected to make hurricane strength as it makes landfall. we'll have an update for you coming up here tonight. our top story, senate judiciary committee dems imposing mob rule trying to derail and dismantle the confirmation hearing of supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, all the obstruc obstructionist s failed. shannon bream joins us tonight from capitol hill with a recap of the day's raucous hearing. >> dozens of protesters peppered the hearings time and again. suggesting kavanaugh's elevation to the highest court would result in the loss of voting and abortion rights, even outright death. and committee democrats made clear they didn't want to

hearing to proceed at all. >> brett kavanaugh. >> mr. chairman i would like to be recognized. >> you're out of order. i'll proceed. >> i move to adjourn. >> should be transparent. >> republican senator tom tillis asked whether the democrat's disruption was scripted over a weekend conference call. >> i'm reviewing a tweet from nbc that said that democrats plotted coordinated strategy over the weekend to disrupt and protest the hearing. >> one of the discussions yesterday was this whole question of whether the committee is going to hear a nominee for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land without access to basic information about his public record. >> the paper trail for kavanaugh and not his judicial philosophy was the democrat's primary objection today. claiming they have a fraction of the documents from his time in if bush 43 white house. even call on the nominee himself to slam on the breaks. >> i ask you to uphold that

trust by asking this committee to suspend this hearing. >> grazly who today marked his 15th supreme court hearing as a senator repeatedly pushed back. >> how ridiculous it is to say that we don't have the records that it takes to determine this person qualified to be on the supreme court. >> kavanaugh joined the federal bench in 2006 and today the democrats suggested he was less than honest more than a decade agoant issues tied to his time in the white house. >> for 12 yiers you coul 12 yeae apologized and corrected this record. >> mike lee came to his defense. >> the suggestion that you misled this committee at any point in your previous hearing is absurd. >> and finally the nominee got to speak for himself. >> i have given it my all in every case. i am proud of that body of work and i stand behind it. i tell people, don't read about my judicial opinions, read the

opinions. >> late today the president tweeted that the hearings are just an example of how quote mean, angry and despicable the other side is. well they weren't supposed to be the boring one. tomorrow the questions actually start but already we've seen plenty of fireworks. lou: shannon, thank you very much. usually it's more than a little difficult to figure out where senator lindsey graham is coming from politically. it's often equally u difficult to predict where he will land on any gifnt issue. not today. senate graham disgusted by the dems disgusted desperate conduct intended to delay and disrupt today's hearing. this is what he had to say to judge kavanaugh, the dems and this country. >> the antidote is not to deny you a place on the supreme court. this is exactly where you need to be. this is exactly the time you need to be there. and i am telling president trump

you do some things that drive me dre disi, you dcrazy. you do some great things. you is have never done anything better in my view than too pick gorsuch and kavanaugh because you have an opportunity to put well-qualified conservatives on the court, men steeped in the rule of law who apply analysis not politic to their decision-making and you knocked it out of the park. and my friends on the other side, you can't lose the election and pick judges. if you want to pick judges, you better win. lou: breaking news this evening, the "the new york times" reporting that special counsel robert mueller has decided to accept written answers from president trump on questions about whether his campaign conspired with russia's election interference. the so-called russia collusion special counsel. mueller didn't say that he was giving up on an interview all together, but this certainly appears to be the case. joining us tonight judicial

watch president tom fitton. tom, good to have you with us. let me get first your reaction to these developments. the special counsel deciding to accept written answer answers to written questions. >> well this should have been his -- the first thing he offered if he was interested in getting information from president trump. it's not atypical to have a high-level government official submit written answers in response to questions, especially a president who has other things to do. this is a major standdown from where mr. mueller was before, evidently. but you know, in the end, i wouldn't cooperate if i were president trump. lou: at all? >> mr. mueller is looking for an impeachmenpeachment report thatn present to congress through rod rosenstein. and mr. trump shouldn't participate in his own hanging. lou: so you're sayin saying thae

shouldn't even accept written questions. >> answer on russia collusion. this special counsel knows there's no russia collusion. at this point it's just harassment. lou: well that's an interesting way to look at it. and you have also -- you and judicial watch, thanks to your good offices and efforts, we know now that there have been no hearings held by the fisa courts before issuing warrants, particularly in the case on page. what is going on here? why is none of this being investigated? why is it not -- and frankly, why is president not ordering the release of this and declassifying all of this paperwork and putting it in front of the american people and this special counsel so we can get a little clearer picture on who robert mueller really is? >> well we know the fisa court process isn't working. you have the government gaming the system, the justice

department and the fbi lying to the courts by withholding material information. the courts not giving a rate's tail in terms of holding a government to account. and just lively approval warrants targeting the sitting president of the united states. i mean how does that -- how is that a one-way -- how is that appropriate under our rule of law system? lou: well i don't think it's -- i don't even -- to be honest with you, i don't think there's any question about propriety here. this is about a vicious attack on a sitting president, a conspiracy among the fbi's top echelon -- and by the way, across all departments as well as the department of justice, and you know, who knows what else within the federal government. and certainly the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign. and we're watching this proceed. what more -- i'm sorry. go ahead. >> and the point you're making about releasing the documents. so the record is the foia application warrant.

the warrants. only part of them have been released to judicial watch. there are other pages that can be declassified which the president needs to do. that's the record. there's no hearing. so there's no record of the court talking to the justice department in an official way. so the court made a defigures based odecisionbased on a docum. we only have part of the document. we know the part we have shows dishonesty, the omission about steele's relationship with orr, things like that. what else is the department of justice hiding from us that they lied to the courts about. the president should declassify that. lou: is the president being told by my attorneys not to declassify? >> i think the deep state is telling him not to declassify. my instinct is he's going to declassify these materials because what we have now is a result of his earlier declassification decisions which overrule the deep state. he'll do it again, i trust.

lou: it's difficult, i think, for most people to appreciate what we are witnessing in the confirmation hearings of judge brett kavanaugh. what we watched today and in an admitted coordinated attack on republicans in the committee, on the committee itself by the dems, this is the ugliest display, and i including the bork debacle. this is the ugliest thing i've seen. it had nothing to do with the responsibility, with the national interest. this was a group of leftist attacking the senate judiciary committee, its rules, its republican members and the nation. it was awful. >> i said that there's an era of violence, intimidation and lawlessness. the fact that you had all three elements a the a hearing for a supreme court justice nomination shows you the left had a

fundamental dislike for the rule of law and the u.s. constitution. those protesters weren't protesting. they were engaging in illegal activity, disrupting a lawful hearing. lou: let's be clear. >> and those arrests were not peaceful arrests. they were resisting arrests if you look at the videos. assuming the media is going to cover this. that was an awful situation and that disruption was against the law. people are facing jail time as a result of what went on at a supreme court nomination hearing. lou: there was a peculiar moment. senator orrin hatch delivering his statement. as he's being shouted down by the demonstrators, he turns to senator grassley and says, can we get rid of this loudmouth? and grassley replies effectively that he's not going to do anything urgently and reminds the senator that they agreed to go on and to allow the police to do their job. i mean, i cannot believe that

grassley turned over that hearing, for whatever the political reasons. i don't really care. just turned it over to the leftist senators who give not one damn about decency, civility, they were on the attack with slobber dripping from their fangs. i mean i it was an awful displa. >> the good news is, lou, they're going to lose. kavanaugh is going to get confirmed barring some define intervention. lou: i understand that. well i hope that that's correct. i understand the view here. but what i don't understand is letting the order of the united states senate be moved to that level by these fools on the left. >> i'd recommend if it happens again tomorrow grassily clear the roograssley clearthe room o. have the media cover it. but if the left wing activists are going to use access -- lou: how about in the room and

their reason for being in the room. couldn't we start there? i mean people with those silly costumes walking in, i mean under what pretense could one admit them to an important hearing for a supreme court nominee? it just makes no sense to me. the republicans act like it's a game of cricket while, you know, the left are leading full on frontal assaults against everything that we consider to be proper government and governance. >> well, you see what they were trying to delay. you saw the hearing as it progressed. you had republican conservative senators making some good arguments in favor of having someone who believes in the constitution be put on the court as opposed to having another politician put on the court who wants to make the law -- lou: i don't think kavanaugh's credentials are in question by any rational human being, irrespective of party. so what we're talking about are vicious assaults by fools on the left that have got to stop and

be stopped by an animated energetic and committed gop, not innervated and reluctant to actually stand up for law and order. an extraordinary disgusting display to me on the matter of the chairman as well as the dems. it shoaln't happen again. >> i agree. senator grassley should take strong steps to maintain the rule of law tomorrow if the hearing progresses the way it did today. lou: appalling. tom fitton great to have you with us. up next, the radical dems turn judge calf that's hearing -- well they tried to the turn it into a side show of chaos and doing their worse to obstruct the president and of course the constitution. >> i am concerned your loyalty would be to the president who appointed you and not to the constitution of the united states. >> the president is trying as hard as he can to protect

himself from the independent, impartial and dogged investigation of his abuse of power. >> not oonl i only is the county deeply divided politically. we also find ourself with a president who faces his own serious problems. >> he has said and done things as president which we've never seen before in our history. he has dismissed the head of the federal bureau of investigation when he wouldn't bend to his will. he harasses and threatens his own attorney general on almost a daily basis in the exercise of his office and it's that president who has decided you are his man. so are people nervous about in? are they concerned about it? of course they are. >> judge kavanaugh, there are so many things wrong with this committee's vetting of your record. it's hard to know where to begin. i never thought the committee would sink to this. >> the third branch of government, our courts and individual judges have been

under assault, not just by a solitary disappointed litigant but by the president of the united states. lou: and on and on they went. we'll take that up and much more. ed rollins joins me here next. ed rollins joins me here next. staypolident is specifically designed to clean a denture. the wonderful thing about polident is the fact that it's very, very tough on bacteria, yet it's very gentle on the denture itself. polident's 4 in 1 cleaning system consists of 4 powerful ingredients that work together to deep clean your denture in hard to reach places. it kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and it helps to remove stains. polident should be the first choice of every person that wears a denture, to clean their denture.

chairman of the great america pac, hall of fame political consultant. rollins serve adds white house political director under president ronald reagan. great to see you. >> my pleasure. >> what a day. have you ever seen anything as ugly as what we witnessed today in the senate judiciary committee hearing. >> no. >> for brett kavanaugh. >> absolutely not. this is a reputable man. the obsurd thing is the whole argument about releasing a million documents. i was in two white houses. the staff secretary basically is a guy who processes papers. assistant to the president, the president is circulating something, something going in to the president, i get a co copy f it, i get to make comments, other five or six people at that level get the same thing. it's not his document. he didn't write it. lou: i'm talking about the conduct. >> they were outrageous. they plot thd over the weekend.

if they don't want to be in the eating, because they're not going to vote for him. let them go off. they don't have top here. lou: did you notice the ignorant statements to have senators, the democratic senators. you may have noticed, folks, there were no demonstrators, no protesters interrupting them, just the republicans. and then durbin and some of those characters pretending this is democracy. that was pure prop. it is an appalling performance. >> don't forget the idiot junior senator from california who wanted to ajoirn the meeting. she had been there all of two years. going to run for president in two years. the more expo exposure those pee get, the better for the republicans. lou: yeah but it's time for the republicans to act like grownups. you've got senator chuck grassley in the senate for 35 years. and for him to sit there and -- i don't know if he's made a deal with schumer or what he's done.

>> he's trying to be a gentleman and it didn't work. lou: he came across as a soft gutted republican. it's time if stand up for the president against that kind of nonsense. >> i don't dispute that. and chuck grassley needs to be tough. and can be. he was overwhelmed today. lou: thethe republicans act like they're at a country club and the m thes act like it's a knife fight in an alley. >> it is a knife fight. they fight well but not effective all of the time. this is a plot and a scheme and they cannot stop this man because of his qualifications. lou: where wher are we with thed tim. >> they're closing up. all kinds of polls are coming out. it's not a national campaign. you do a national poll in places like california and new york that outweigh the rest of the country. this is district by district. lou: are the republicans going to win? >> i think they're going to ode

to the senate. i think the house is ours to hold. lou: you're in a better place than you were a couple of weeks ago. >> well, i'm watching it. lou: that's why i asked you. don't yell at me. >> at the end of the day the voters get to make the judgments and i tell you tell me who is going to vote and i tell you who's going to win. that's the battle ahead. lou: that savant stuff leaves my head spinning. >> quit calling me a savant. half of the friends i grow up with think it's a dirty word. lou: thanks so much. appreciate it. ed rollins. washington post reporter bob woodward's book on the trump white house will be released next week. today story after story released and denied by the white house. what was also released was also, i think, one of the most interesting phone calls between the president and bob woodward. it is pure gold. and listen to the president take woodward to school. >> if the other administration or representatives of it had kept going or kept, you know, if

the other group had won, i will tell you that you would have -- i think you would have a gdp of less than zero. i think we would have been going in the wrong direction because regulations are such a big part of what we've done, bob. >> well, i understand that point of view and as you know, it's also a difficult time where the political system and you and my business is being tested. >> yeah. >> and i take it very seriously. i've done books on eight presidents going back from nixon and obama. >> right. >> and i learned something about reporting, frankly, mr. president. >> good. >> i've got to go talk to people and see them outside of the white house and outside of their offices and i've gained a lot of insight and com documentation. it's a tough look at the world

and your administration and you. >> right. well i assume that means it's going to be a negative book. but, you know, i'm sort of 50% used to that. that's all right. some are good and some are bad. sounds like this is going to be a bad bun. lou: not a good one. it was sort of interesting to hear woodward sort of pleading with the president. perhaps he wanted a trip to mar-a-lago or something. he didn't get that and he didn't get the sitdown with the president either. i love the way the president handled mr. woodward. it's just fascinating, the characters in the fake news business coming up, meet the press host chuck todd, he's upset with the president too. the president calling out the national left wing media for their fake news. but he says the press neesd neeo stop complaining and -- we'll have his solution for you here next. stay with us. the fact is, there are over ninety-six

hundred roads named "park" in the u.s. it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the similarity stops. if you're on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the washoe zephyr could damage your siding. and that's very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. but no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local allstate agents knows yours. now that you know the truth, are you in good hands?

so they say that ai will put the future in the palm of our hands. that's great. but right now you've got your hands full with your global supply chain. okay, france wants 50,000 front fenders by friday. that's why you work with watson. i analyzed thousands of contracts and detected a discrepancy. it works with procurement systems you already use to help speed up distribution without slowing down your team. frank, tell fred full force on those french fenders. fine. fine. fantastic. for ai that knows your industry, choose watson. hello! the best ai for the job.

attorney rnc committee woman for the state of california, harmeet dhillon. great to have you with us. let's start with this bombshell from robert mueller saying that he will accept the president's attorney's recommendation that there be written questions and written answers to any -- in any interview that they could accept. your reaction. >> this is a good compromise, lou. it's much better in the sense that lawyers can help with this and control what information is given and help make sure that it doesn't stray off point. i think this is a really good development and moving closer towards closure here. lou: i think that's some of the problem here, isn't it? there is no clear map forward on the part of the special counsel. this could go irrespective of whatever the president concedes. it could go for years. there is no end point.

>> it could. lou: there are no markers. it is just a special counsel waging war on the president under the rubric of collusion with the russians. which we know there was none. >> well that is -- right. that is the problem with the whole special counsel situation. i don't think it's constitutional personally. really you have a situation where the doj is supposed to be controlling it and as we know rod rosenstein shows no interest in doing that. in terms of damage control and limiting the impact to the presidency, this is the best way to go. lou: the best way to go and where do we go? at this point can you assess at all what the special counsel has come up with and when would that report come out -- i know you're speculating like all of the rest of us but you have a better informed base than 90% of us. maybe -9 99% of us. >> a couple of things.

number one in terms of the content and where it could go, it looks like special counsel has been on a fishing expedition for some time. giving the leaky ps of the situation, nothing has leaked out. the president has been transparent all along. that bodes well for there being nothing to wrap up. but in terms of the timing, the special counsel does adhere to the special rules of the doj. it's not supposed to be released within 60 days of the election. i would expect the report to possibly be delayed until after the november election which would be appropriate. what we don't want to see is a second round of questions. it's a one-time deal where some questions are done and never answered. lou: there's something inappropriate about this special counsel from his inception. the supreme court hearings today. the democrats, you may could argue that it was violent, the demonstrations were carried out against the republicans, the interruptions attempting to

delay and disrupt the hearing. we have sunk -- let me rephrase that. the democrats have sunk to a new low. and why in the world are republicans putting up with it? >> well, there's a school of thought that republicans are putting up with it to show the world how absurd these people are. but i think they do that every day any way. i would agree with you that a firmer hand is needed here. i think what's missing from this discussion is the fact that the american bar association notoriously a liberal organization has given him a well-qualified. with that the democrats are only able to focus on the outside of the room nonsense and not on the merits of the situation. it looks bad for them, i think. lou: he served on the second highest court of the land for 12 years. he's already been confirmed by the senate. this is absurd. it is just absolutely. >> it's 'em ba embarrassing. lou: -- viciousness on their part. thank you for being with us.

as always we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. lou: chuck todd says it's time for the press to start fight back against what he calms a caa campaign. some fox hosts are exploiting the fears, as he puts it, of older white people. he says it's time for the press to fight back. my concern is around the likes of todd who told us not to miss work on friday because he said he had a strong suspicions that the mueller witch hunt would be delivering a bombshell last friday. i had so much faith in chuck todd's political analysis, i want you to know, i took friday off the nfl sounding off on nike's new ad campaign featuring colin kaepernick. in a statement they say this. the social justice issues that kocollin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our attention and action.

hards hitting stuff from the nfl. could any of us possibly be disappointed. this comes after the nfl and nike agreed to a ten-year extension of a deal to supply team uniforms. their original five-year deal was reportedly worth a billion. this is a big one. and on the smu the nf issue thed nfl seem unified. it's the only thing that seems clear about the relationship between the two. they don't care about their customer base in either instance. we'll have more with our panel here later in the broadcast. stay with us. when we were dating, we used to get excited about things like concert tickets or a new snowboard. matt: whoo! whoo! jen: but that all changed when we bought a house. matt: voilà! jen: matt started turning into his dad. matt: mm. that's some good mulch. ♪ i'm awake. but it was pretty nifty when jen showed me how easy it was to protect our home and auto with progressive.

he's obviously opposing what is about to be a very large scale military campaign to destroy the 20,000-plus opposition forces that are in the province, 10,000 of which by the way are al kei disa. al qaeda. but the question that people have are the 3 million people that live there. and the assad way of war and the putin way of war is actually to go in and use mass bombing campaigning to kill as many civilians. civilians. , destroy as many structures as possible and therefore drive the insurgents or the opposition forces out of the area. and that has worked for them time and time again. our concern, stated by other u.s. officials, has been if they use chemical weapons then we will respond. i think what the president is just cautioning them about conducting another blood bath

campaign where so many people are going to die, women and children and others. the russians by the way are fully in support of assad here. this is what they did when putin took over, 90 days after he took over in russia, he went into chechnya. and used conventional forces, a bombing campaign and killed tens of thousands of innocent people. that's what this campaign is about. and it is horrific. lou: it is a difficult moment. the president though being clear that the united states would retaliate. he wasn't specific in what manner, if the assad, again, uses chemical weapons. how reliable is the judgment on chemical weapons? how confident are you that we have the ability to make that determination without a doubt? >> no, i'm confident about it. and we've been accurate at every time that we've called it. you know, follow on inspections have come up with the same answer that we did in our

preliminary analysis. so you know, any airplane that takes off in syria, we have full visibility of the thing running down the runway, much less where it goes and what it does. we have absolute visibility of all o of that. so if something goes over a town and drops bombs, we're watching that. and then all of the sudden within minutes or let's give it 30 minutes or an hour we're hearing that there's chemicals that are splashed all over the people there. so we know who did it. we have their fingerprints on it, so to speak. lou: what's your judgment? will the president's threat be sufficient to force such a humanitarian catastrophe? >> no. its not going to happen. listen, the reality is the russians and the irans have propped up the assad ra jeej ree successfully. we don't have a lot of leverage to be frank about it, lou. the turks are moved troops down

into northern syria to try to deter them but they're dead set on doing. this the russians have moved 36 additional airplanes into their airfield. they've got a slight number of ships outside. they're going to use cruise missiles as well. they're ready to conduct a massive campaign here and it's going to be awful to watch. and much more awful to experience certainly. lit be horrific like we've seen in eastern guda and also in aleppo. lou: general jack keane as always we appreciate your analysis. thanks so much. >> good talking to you, lou. lou: up next, fallout over nike's decision to make collin kaepernick the face of its newest ad campaign. we're taking that up with or panel. check out a new book. how the trump hating left lost its collective mind. you saw some considerable support for her title today in

lashes out at nike for making collin kaepernick the face of its "just do it" campaign. the ad campaign features the phrase "believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything" is appropriate. but given that nike's stock dropped more than 3% in trade today by their own measure they've got 94% more to give. this deal doesn't bode well for the nfl. its deal with nike runs now until 2028 as the exclusive provider of nfl uniforms. its advertisers pay through the nose for a declining number of viewers. when will they demand action from the nfl and its commissioner to do something about these declining ratings down 8%, down 10% over the last two years. these advertisers, well, you know, they've got a f fiduciary responsibility to uphold to as

well and it's time to hold the league accountable aligning itself with the nike campaign. perhaps the nfl might look to the new jersey state police pba for inspiration. the police yuan yuan issuing a statement saying it with us a late arizona cardinal turned army ranger pat tillman who 'em embodied the speurt of nike's message. he truly did sacrifice everything because he believed in something much larger than himself. joining us tonight, lawrence jones. defense attorney ra becky rose woodland. good to have you both here. rebecca, your reaction to the news that they put at a high price collin kaepernick forward as the face of the "just do it" campaign. >> i think it's interesting that democracy has many different forms. one of them is free speech. and nike does have the opportunity to put kol inkaeperniccollinkaepernick.

lou: they can do what they want. >> they made a business decision. they think this is going to play out well for them. we'll see. the nfl is down 10%. viewership is down 10% last year. so what do we think is going to happen? i think this divides the nation further. i think the issue that collin is addressing is a real issue. he believes that there are police shootings, that black people are targeted in police sheetings. if that's the case, maybe there's another way to do this. maybe as part of the campaign, let's set up some sort of a town hall. let's use the money, a percentage of the money generated from this nike campaign and generated from sales to actually 'em bodily and 'em bolden this issue and try to educate and make things better for this country. how about that. lou: go ahead, lawrence. >> the problem, lou, is that this is no longer a debate about criminal justice reform or many issues that my community may have with the police.

this is a business decision. and if people think that nike is concerned about justice issues, they're sadly mistaken. they made a financial decision right now. and it's the same as the president would make as well. the president has been typically against this issue and he released a statement today, lou, saying this is what america is all about and nike is attentive and they pay alet o a lot of re. lou: democracy. no doubt about it. >> it's a financial thing going on in america. i believe the debate about the real issue is about finances, it's about ratings. lou: with all that said, all that was true before they did everything. what i'm asking each of you is, doing they immediate a mistake and do you think it's going to cost the advertisers, the nfl and most particularly nike. lawrence? >> yeah, i think it will cost the nfl but not nike. i think nike is trying to get

this core audience and their focus is on certain individuals -- lou: who is the core audience? >> the protesters. remember, lou, when collin kaepernick was cut from the team and he started his kneeling, he was the number one selling jersey. it's shown that it's great -- that it can be a financial incentive for nike to take this position. but for the nfl, they're going to suffer when it comes to ratings, unlike my dallas cowboys who is america's team. the owner decide he wasn't going do that from a business standpoint. it wasn't good for the team. lou: well it's a strange decision. obviously lawrence thinks it's going to work from a business decision. what do you think? >> i think from a business decision nike should also represent the other opportunity, the other side of this equation. whatever that is. lou: how about the police union. >> there we go. lou: what about the foundations

for the victims of violence, our police officers, law enforcement officers and by the way, our military who have lost service members, we've lost agents and policemen, we've lost -- that would be a really important statement, too. the thing that is really at issue here in the national police union pointed this out. this is nike endorsing the kaepernick message which is that police brutally exists in wanton measure across this country. and it emphatically, and i happen to agree with the police union, it emphatically does not. it is a disgrace to me that anyone would give that message credence. and social justice should start with truth and unfortunately that has never been part of kaepernick's message nor now that of nike. rebecca, it is good t to have yu to be here. thank you. lawrence jones, thank you very

much be sure to vote in the poll tonight. the question is do you think nike executives are more interested in pushing a radical left-wing agenda than making money for their shareholders. cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. after the break we take up the latest in robert mueller's witch hunt. the president appears to be winning that battle tonight. stay with us. we'll be right back. - i love my grandma. - anncr: as you grow older, your brain naturally begins to change which may cause trouble with recall. - learning from him is great... when i can keep up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad's got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide.

lou: special counsel robert mueller will reportedly accept written answers from the president and alleged russian collusion. tom fitton had this advice for the president. >> i wouldn't cooperate if i were president trump. mr. mueller is looking for an impeachment report he can present to congress through rod rosenstein. and about strum shouldn't participate in his own hanging. lou: not judiciary members will begin questioning judge kavanaugh tomorrow morning. the coordinated attacks have been described as embarrassing for the left. google and facebook will be appearing before the senate

intelligence committee, google and facebook with a lot of questions to answer. that's it for us. we thank you for being with us. trade negotiations begin again between the u.s. and canada have to make their case. lou: good evening, everybody. our top stories. radical dems unleashing their coordinated attack on the senate judiciary committee and republican senators. the dems doing their worse to disrupt today's confirmation hearing for judge kavanaugh. capitol police have arrest 22 protesters for their vicious insults aimed at president trump and his supreme court nominee. and all timed to interrupt only republican senators. >> opinions upon what's the effective discharge. >> you are the nominee of
