5:16 pm
and earlier on i put this issue of offensive costumes of for debate and earlier on i put this issue of offensive costumes of for debate. well i think that you have to be sensitive to the actual group the people are dressing up that what i think that you have to be sensitive to the actual group the people are dressing up as rather than listening to ourselves we should listen to the group that's rather than listening to ourselves we should listen to the group that's being dressed up and i think that that's so important thing and we have to stop being so sensitive i mean i think being dressed up and i think that that's so important thing and we have to stop being so sensitive i mean i've been told before that me mayor wearing a make america great again had as offensive so we're told before that me mayor wearing a make america great again had as offensive so where do we draw the line i think that's where we have a very clear problem kids university where do we draw the line i think that's where
5:17 pm
we have a very clear problem kids universities professors they don't have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group these professors they don't have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group and listen from them actually what's offensive or not offensive and i think that's the right way to approach these and listen from them actually what's offensive or not offensive and i think that's the right way to approach these you know if somebody is offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people so you know if somebody is offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people but i don't know how this is so far on these college campuses that now we're going to but i don't know how this is so far on these college campuses that now we're going to call people out on how wayne talk about ruining the holiday so i think that you call people out on how wayne talk about ruining a holiday so i think that you can go too far in terms of something that's offensive in the can go too far in terms of something that's offensive and divisive even for
5:18 pm
a comedian so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful vice even for a comedian so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful. what scares me about this topic is i feel like when we just say how we are what scares me about this topic is i feel like when we just say how we are and we have college students talking about what's offensive we really don't even know where the guy jams and we have college students talking about what's offensive we really don't even know where the guidelines are anymore because we're living in this p.c. culture that sometimes really doesn't make a lot of minds are anymore because we're living in this p.c. culture that sometimes really doesn't make a lot of sense let's talk specifically halloween so if someone's to dress up as freddy krueger sense let's talk specifically halloween so if it was a person wants to dress up as freddy krueger no problem they stick on you know the appropriate attire i would if they want to be good no problem they stick on you
5:19 pm
know the appropriate attire what if they want to be someone like. i think is tony told was the. you know a black. thing is tony told was the who was you know a black man if you want to just play a famous black you know horror 'd if you want to just play a famous black you know horror character how on earth would people in the sunday war without the visual clue character how on earth would people in the sunday war without the visual clue i would probably just stay away from it because you have to quote yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice i would probably just stay away from it because you have to quote yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice but for example say i wanted to play michael jackson would i be in trouble for it but for example say i wanted to play michael jackson would i be in trouble for and how do i dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could just embrace people and how to dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we
5:20 pm
could just embrace people for who they are and that we could not have the racial division that we have in this country and i for who they are and that we could not have the racial division that we have in this country and i'd. been told before that it's really easy for me to say that sitting back is not carte caijing been told before that it's really easy for me to say that sitting back is a cartesian woman in america but you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on men in america but you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on race and the more we talk about the division the harder it is to come together and i use and the more we talk about the division the harder it is to come together and i look forward to a day in america where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully by look forward to a day in america where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully be able to kind of take race out of the equation and hopefully we can find a way or are able to kind of take race out of the equation and hopefully we can
5:21 pm
find a way around it because now that we're censoring hollowing caution is it doesn't look like it's getting much better around it because now that we're censoring hollowing caution is it doesn't look like it's getting much better. do you sense of representatives has voted for. the u.s. house of representatives has voted to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against president trump is expected to move the process from close will move proceeds with the impeachment inquiry against president trump is expected to move the process from closed door hearings to. the move was opposed by all the republicans in the house despite the criticism. of the move was opposed by all the republicans in the house despite their criticism of the democrats keeping the tools of the inquiry hearing shots up until this point doesn't look the democrats keeping the tools of the inquiry hearing shots up until this point. shameful to create a constitutional crisis for purely partisan reasons shameful to create
5:22 pm
a constitutional crisis for purely partisan reasons this is soviet style rules when only one person has the right to say this is soviet style rules when only one person has the right to call witnesses and as we saw just the other day the chairman was we call witnesses and as we saw just the other day the chairman was literally directing the witness to not answer certain questions by literally directing the witness to not answer certain questions by the republicans what kind of fairness is that is like a cold the republicans what kind of fairness is that is like a cult these are a group of people loyally following their leader as he bounces. these are a group of people loyally following their leader as he bounces from one outlandish conspiracy theory to another and the media from one outlandish conspiracy theory to
5:23 pm
another and the media are the cult followers they passed resolution implies they to still you are the cult followers. the past resolution implies a 2 stage process of impeachment inquiry involving 2 house committees drafting articles of each process of impeachment inquiry involving 2 house committees drafting articles against donald trump the quote was initiated by this lady us house speaker nancy pelosi stunnel trump the quote was initiated by this lady u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi it alleges trump sought help from ukrainian authorities to face see it alleges trump sought help from ukrainian authorities to favor him in the 2020 presidential election trump was asking the ukrainian president of the of the him in the 2020 presidential election trump was asking the ukrainian president of the favor its claim to investigate alleged corruption claims against his main
5:24 pm
favor his claim to investigate alleged corruption claims against his main pursuit political rival the democrats presidential front runner joe biden republicans have to see huge political rival the democrats presidential front runner joe biden republicans have denied any wrongdoing and dealings with ukraine adding to his conduct was concerning but not impeachable denied any wrongdoing or dealings with ukraine adding his conduct was concerning but not impeachable the white house has also reacted to the vote will have it recognized with today's votes the white house has also reacted to the vote and it recognized with today's vote speaker pelosi and the democrats have done nothing more than in shrine unacceptable violations speaker pelosi and the democrats have done nothing more than in shrine unacceptable violations of due process into house rules the democrats want to render a verdict with out of due process into house rules the democrats want to render a verdict without giving the administration a chance to mount a defense. giving the administration a chance to mount
5:25 pm
a defense. this bring in michael patrick flanagan former u.s. congressman great to have you on this bring in michael part. flannigan former u.s. congressman great to have you on. this impeachment inquiry. this impeachment inquiry. i mean they finally got their opportunity it seems the democrat they wanted to impeach trump through these entire period when they finally got their opportunity it seems the democrat they wanted to impeach trump through these entire period in our face 1st it was about the connection with russia now that we didn't all face 1st it was about the connection with russia now they're getting trying to get him over this involvement we've ukraine is it going to work in their favor getting trying to get him over this involvement with ukraine is it going to work in their favor now that things seem to be progressing or could it still come back to haunt them. the now that things seem to be progressing or could
5:26 pm
it still come back to haunt them. that's a terrific question and it is the question you know you know it's a terrific question and it is the question you know you once again as you always do come to come to the nub of the matter you once again as you always do come to come to the nub of the matter i could give you a 10000 process arguments of why this is not just bad but evil i could give you a 10000 process arguments of why this is not just bad but evil i could give you substance arguments about how the president did nothing wrong but the question in the question you i could give you substance arguments about how the president did nothing wrong but the question in the question you asked is will this help nancy next fall help the democrats next fall or will blow up and they were asked is will this help nancy next fall help the democrats next fall or will blow up in their face i'm reminded of a great quote from from fouché face i'm reminded of
5:27 pm
a great quote from from fouché. in napoleonic times where having committed a very questionable and napoleonic times. where having committed a very questionable act the emperor looked good fouché in his group and said do you think it was a crime and lack the emperor looked at fouché and his group and said do you think it was a crime and looks back and says it's worse than a crime it was a mistake looks back and says it's worse than a crime it was a mistake and that's what we have here nancy thought this would be quick and easy get up book and that's what we have here nancy thought this would be quick and easy get up book the obvious meaning of what he said is what we think it is nobody else turned out to think of it that way the obvious meaning of what he said is what we think it is nobody else turned out to think of it that way his conversation with the ukrainian president and now nobody his conversation with the ukrainian
5:28 pm
president and now nobody thinks that there's any substance here at least except for the hardcore left and so they've got to find of koreans that there's any substance here at least except for the hardcore left and so they've got a fine of create something or blow it off smoke to make it work and so they got lost in a profit something or blow it off smoke to make it work and so they got lost in a process argument and the republicans were able to communicate to the american people that this was unfair assess arguments and the republicans were able to communicate to the american people that this was unfair that secret proceedings are unfair you can't call witnesses against them it's unfair the president could be involved that secret proceedings are unfair you can't call witnesses against them it's unfair the president could be involved it's unfair americans understand unfair they might not understand quid pro quo and all of it's unfair americans understand unfair they might not understand quid pro quo and all the other exotic legalities but they understand fairness and so nancy was forced to have this vote the other
5:29 pm
exotic legalities but they understand fairness and so nancy was forced to have this vote today she did not want this vote this is not something that was planned all along she got backed into this today she did not want this vote this is not. something that was planned all along she got backed into this when the senate showed up earlier this week and said voted 50 when the senate showed up earlier this week and said voted 5050 a republican votes to condemn the process that she was using the republican votes to condemn the process that she was using she knew she was a don so they cooked this up and it's a tiny bit better than if she knew she was a don so they cooked this up and it's a tiny bit better than it was there's a little crack in the door of fairness there are the hearings where we moved it was there's a little crack in the door of fairness there are the hearings where we moved largely not completely but largely out of the secret into the light but republicans largely
5:30 pm
not completely but largely out of the secret into the light but republican still can't call witnesses unless the democrats approve they can ask questions and unless the democratic can call witnesses unless the democrats approve they can ask questions and unless the democrats fail to object and it's still going to be run in a dictatorial fashion by adams it's failed to object and it's still going to be run in a dictatorial fashion by adam shift who is you know a congenital liar i'm sorry it's a cruel and work hard thing shift who is you know a congenital liar i'm sorry it's a cruel and work hard thing to say but the man can't tell the truth for 5 minutes a crack on top of which you say here's what the man can't tell the truth for 5 minutes a crack on top of which he leaks like a sieve and we've come to accept the leaks weeks up the leaks as as part of the prosecutor leaks like a sieve and we've come to accept the leaks weeks up the leaks is as part of the process every day there's new information about the hearings and in the press there should be no us every day there's new information about the hearings and in the
5:31 pm
press there should be no information in the press no on except that the democrats leak it out every day and information in the press not on. except that the democrats leak it out every day and so all i can say is that this is a terribly far broken process so all i can say is that this is a terribly far broken process that nancy was hoping she could run through quickly and get to a quick vote and it's not going to turn that nancy was hoping she could run through quickly and get to a quick vote and it's not going to turn out that way and she is sinking in the ship and she doesn't know how to write it and i think that they're out there and she's sinking in the ship she doesn't know how to write it and i think that this is going to be a horrible horrible mistake i want to look at for mason is going to be a horrible horrible mistake i want to look if i may in the bigger picture which is that let's say the president of united states done something terrible and in the
5:32 pm
bigger picture which is that let's say the president of united states done something terrible and you know one of the parties would say we need to do something about this let's look at a possible impeachment but the reality you know one of the parties who say we need to do something about this let's look at a possible impeachment but the reality is and this is a fact since the day he got into office the opposition have been looking for anybody isn't this is a fact since the day he got into office the opposition have been looking for any possible reason as a mention started out with allegations of russia collusion to try hindy possible reason as a mention started out with allegations of russia collusion to try him taking down the hatred it's palpable and it's it's absolutely well publicized taking down the hatred it's palpable and it's it's absolutely well publicized so the question i want to put to you is this now set a precedent is this how it's going to be or so the question i want to put to you is this now set a precedent is this how it's going to be all the time let's say you get a democrat president next are the republicans going to go well we know how this all
5:33 pm
the time let's say you get a democrat president next are the republicans going to go well we know how this works now we're totally entitled to spend every single day of our working lives trying to bring that's works now we're totally entitled to spend it. every single day of the working lives trying to bring the president down trying to find anything to impeach them and surely that makes that job very depressing down trying to find anything to impeach them and surely that makes the job very difficult it's a great. no you're correct in the pickle it's a great. no you're correct in and the analogy i can give you is look at the confirmation process for supreme court judges the analogy i can give you is look at the confirmation process for supreme court judges when democrats nominate judges like ruth bader ginsburg or other sotomayor when democrats nominate judges like ruth bader ginsburg or other sotomayor they get some tough questions from republicans is they should they get some investigate or they get some tough
5:34 pm
questioning is from republicans is they shouldn't they get some investigation of their background like they should but generally the hearings are civil and their thoughts in their background like they should but generally the hearings are civil and they're thoughtful and by and large unless they're something major and flawed about the nominees they get approval and by and large unless there's something major and flawed about the nominees they get approved they get approved with with a fair number of republicans who cross over to help if they get approved with with a fair number of republicans who crossed over to help with approvals you know the democrats do not behave this way i want every gentleman it doesn't matter how with approvals you know the democrats do not behave this way i want every gentleman it doesn't matter how awful or how wonderful the the nominee might be the democrats fight them to the awful or how wonderful the the nominee might be the democrats fight them to thing they'll root and branch and we'll make stuff up as we saw with cavanagh if necessary thing they'll root and branch and we'll make stuff up as we
5:35 pm
saw with cavanagh if necessary so your question is is this is this give the republicans license yes but as we've seen so your question is is this is this guy. the republicans license yes but as we've seen with the supreme court nominations they don't use that license and so i think what you're going to see anything with the supreme court nominations they don't use that license and so i think what you're going to see in the future are democrats continuing to behave in this way forever and refuse your colleagues are democrats continuing to behave in this way forever and republicans doing their best to resist it and the proof i offer of this is the supreme a public institution your best to resist and the proof i offer of this is the supreme court nomination process they can appreciate it i'm afraid of to wrap it up there could speak to the court nomination process they can appreciate it i'm afraid of to wrap it up there good speech today michael patrick flanagan former u.s. congressman thank you. and know michael patrick flanagan former u.s.
5:36 pm
congressman thank you. and it's a. k. now with a. k. now with the impeachment probe threatening to stop donald trump from standing for reelection next year the race to the impeachment probe threatening to stop donald trump from standing for reelection next year the race to become the democratic presidential candidate well that is far from certain either the gap between the front runner the democratic presidential candidate well that is far from certain either the gap between the front runners is narrow england to many voters of still to make up their minds. the primary disease narrowing to many voters of still to make up their minds. the primary decides a lot after all your conscience would never enter a minute even consider straight to decides a lot after all your conscience would never enter a minute even consider straight to there's a lot of confusion with the democrats they're all trying to one up each other for more than there's
5:37 pm
a lot of confusion with the democrats they're all trying to one up each other for more than 3 years the democrats have been chomping at the bit for a presidential election 3 years the democrats have been chomping at the bit for a presidential election what they want is to put the unraveling and embarrassment of 2016 behind them what they want is to put the unraveling and embarrassment of 2016 behind them and take another whack at beating the donald more than a year away from the vote democrats are beating and take another whack at beating the donald more than a year away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and standing together against donald trump one thing all of the drama of party unity and standing together against donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment is reviewing a united front against president democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment is reviewing a united front against president the next leader is going to have to be one among those democrats that can unite us the next leader is going to have to be one among
5:38 pm
those democrats that can unite us all we must elect a democratic president we must elect a democratic president of the year 9 and. now you would think that defeating a president put the year 9 and. now you would think that defeating a president portrayed on t.v. as the orange menace wouldn't be so difficult but reality does not rate on t.v. as the orange menace wouldn't be so difficult but reality does not always match expectations now the 1st presidential primary is the famous i always match expectations now the 1st presidential primary. as the famous iowa caucuses now before the debates over the summer 21 percent of i will caucus now before the debates over the summer 21 percent of iowa's voters were undecided but now that number has gone up to 29 percent i was voters were undecided but now that number
5:39 pm
has gone up to 29 percent bad trend but why well perhaps the number of candidates in the race has got them on the fence bad trend but why well perhaps the number of candidates in the race has got them on the fence and the race does just keep getting larger at this point you've got billionaire tom styer who just threw his hat into the ring with 3 months out from iowa and we thought that there would be a loss of interests and the race does just keep getting larger at this point you've got billionaire tom styer who just threw his hat into the ring with 3 months out from iowa and we thought that there would be a loss of indecision but he's definitely harder than we would have expected no question i see something the house isn't but he's definitely harder than we would have expected no question i see something that has to be true if i'm going to win and it is true now the democratic leaders realize that the de boss retreated from going to win and it is true now the democratic leaders realize that the debacle of 2016 threw a lot of voters either to tromp or to just stay home on a local of 2016 through
5:40 pm
a lot of voters either to tromp or to just stay home on election day so they're prepping the u.s. public not to do the same thing this year even election day so they're prepping the u.s. public not to do the same thing this year they even have a catchy slogan vote blue no matter who you can get a pin a to capture and even of logan vote blue no matter who you can get a pin a t. shirt and even a pillow inscribed with the message but the question is will it work we decided to ask pillow inscribed with the message but the question is will it work we decided to ask new yorkers what they think i think you should vote for the right person after you've done all of your research new yorkers what they think but i think you should vote for the right person after you've done all of your. search have to vote your conscience not nuts not a group thing situation i could have to vote your conscience not not nuts not a group thing situation i can understand why blue no matter who is a little bit off you know the primary decider stand why blue no matter who is

a good wins appeal argues that the embryos are actually human lives. are we going to err on the side of. are we going to err on the side of life all the side of death that's the real issue here life all the side of death that's the real issue here. it is clear that embryos are not treated as a legal person precisely for those concerns it is clear that embryos are not treated as a legal person precisely for those concerns over what that would mean for procreative rights and the rights of privacy. over what that would mean for procreative rights and the rights of privacy. discuss this now with joseph sicko is a form of. discuss this now with joseph sicko is a former judge on the practicing attorney in connecticut also resurface a news author of the babes going to win in judge on the practicing attorney in
5:54 pm
connecticut also resurface a news author of the babes going to winning in the workplace welcome to you both 1st to you if i may ring in the workplace welcome to you both 1st see you if i may receive what do you think of this ruling that embryos are marital property is what do you think of this ruling that embryos are marital property. i think in this case the. i think in this case the court got it absolutely right the court decided that they were going to go with a contractor for a cork out it absolutely right the court decided that they were going to go with a contract approach and not really open or really evaluate a cage and not really open or really evaluate a case based on whether or not this embryo is considered to have based on whether
5:55 pm
or not this embryo is considered to have life already and so i think they did it the right way because in this particular instance life already and so i think they did it the right way because in this particular instance when this family or when these this couple went to the clinic to you know do in vitro fertilization this family or when these this couple went to the clinic to you know do in vitro fertilization they signed a contract agreeing to destroy the embryo elevation they signed a contract agreeing to destroy the embryos if they decided to divorce and i think we cannot stray from their disposal if they decided to divorce and i think we cannot stray from their. decision at that time that we do we allow these contracts to mean absolutely nothing at that time that we do we allow these contracts to mean absolutely nothing people have the right to decide and write on paper how they want their imber people have the right to decide and write on paper how they want their
5:56 pm
embryos treated if they divorce and that's the right way to go joseph is this another viola's treated if they divorce and that's the right way to go joseph is this another of those situations where we need to understand when does life begin can you call frozen those situations where we need to understand when does life begin can you call frozen embryos unborn children. and embryos unborn children. i think you can the science has been dramatically. i think you can the science has been dramatically increased and even in the last 20 years the last 10 years to where yes you know increased and even in the last 20 years the last 10 years to where yes you know you know human life begins at conception you know other areas of the law recognize you know human life begins at conception you know other areas of
5:57 pm
the law recognise this for example in probate law there's an old french phrase on volunteer somewhere which is this for example in probate law there's an old french phrase on volunteer somewhere which means that when there's an unborn child in the belly of the mother that child's rights to inherit means that when there's an unborn child in the belly of the mother that child's rights to inheritance attach you know even though it's still in the womb so you know again ricans attach you know even though it's still in the womb so you know again in this particular situation what i was asking the court to do is to err on the side of life and in this particular situation what i was asking the court to do is to err on the side of life to give the human embryo to the parent who wants to keep the child alive and to give the human embryo to the parent who wants to keep the child alive and then ultimately donate it to a couple in order that they can adopt it and then use it and then ultimately donate
5:58 pm
it to a couple in order that they can adopt it and then use it in their own in vitro fertilization procedure. that's really what on their own in vitro fertilization procedure. that's really what what i asked i mean you could say sure at the time of the cond time that they did the in vitro fertilization what i asked i mean you could say sure at the time of the cond time that they did the in vitro fertilization they did agree on this contract to discard them if there was a divorce they did agree on this contract to discard them if there was a divorce however not everybody thinks about everything at the same time after isabella was however. not everybody thinks about everything at the same time after isabella was born the child that they used in this in vitro fertilisation the father change his mind was born the child that they used from this in vitro fertilization the father change his mind several generally don't want that that the human embryo to be destroyed 1st of all they were supposed to use kill generally
5:59 pm
don't want that that the human embryo to be destroyed 1st of all they were supposed to use it but unfortunately because they divorced i did not happen it just seems to me that but unfortunately because they divorced i did not happen it just seems to me that there's no harm to anyone allowing the father to take it and donate it there and that there's no harm to anyone allowing the father to take it and donate it there are federal programs now in federal centers that allow couples to quote unquote a dollar federal programs now in federal centers that allow couples to quote unquote adopt the she would embryos and then use them in implantation and allow the child to grow out of the she would embryos and then use them in implantation and allow the child to grow and be a wanted child with parents who want it so that's really what my argument is and be a wanted child with parents who want it so that's really what my argument is that i think we can err on the side of life and that if we look at this strictly as a contractual matter i that i think we can err on the side of life and that if we
6:00 pm
look at this strictly as a contractual matter i think that really leans more toward leans more toward seeing the human embryo is just a piece of it that really leans more toward leans more toward seeing the human embryo is just a piece of property and and i just don't agree with that what do you think about the point that was just made that but i just property and and i just don't agree with that what do you think about the point that was just made the blood by joseph race that you know the idea of being you know proto life to you talking about potentially race that you know the idea of being you know proto life to you talking about potentially what is a life form into another couple who are desperate to have a child could could really benefit is this a strong emotionally what is a life. no the couple who are desperate to have a child could could really benefit this is a strong emotion cases and. has the various dissident cases and. has a very shifted emotional case but unfortunately the whole whole journal absolutely no way to meet in the forest in washington and we can hold absolutely no weight in
6:01 pm
this instance while we have to address the issue of love was and we have come to a section there's a direct cost the ins issue of conception sex that's just there's conception and then there's preconception and what the court decided absolutely correct in this case and then there's preconception and what the court decided absolutely correct in this case was that these embryos are pre-conception yes you have the sperm and yes use was that these embryos are pre-conception yes you have the sperm and yes you have the eggs and yes they have combined to create an embryo however without them being implanted have the egg and yes they have combined to create an embryo however without them being implanted into the body of the woman the mother the host who would provide that body with a look into the body of the woman the mother the host who would provide that body with little.
