and ms merrick 44 pass m ove was snuffed out. and ms merrick 44 pass move “— was snuffed out.— a 44 pass move some up city's dominance. back—up to the top of the table and on this form they will take some shifting. we were not com pletely will take some shifting. we were not completely satisfied. we were not playing with the flow and we have deeply a bit to avoid mistakes. in the second half we were better and we had the problems in the first half, after that to live in one we did not consider other chances. there were three other games in the perennially today. liverpool and chelsea maintained their unbeaten start to the season, chelsea held to a goalless draw by everton. arsenal needed a late equaliser. rangers thrashed motherwell 7—1. they are 110w thrashed motherwell 7—1. they are now only two points behind the leaders celtic and moved top of goal difference. there was a number of fine saves and celtic is now level at the top with hearts. this team have not doubt the week to team cambridge united. they were leading 4-0 but cambridge united. they were leading 4—0 but ended

merrick garland. >> greg: he didn't get his life ruined. garland is a murderer to the democrats. he didn't. his family in front about -- >> juan: he didn't get a hearing. mitch mcconnell played brutal politics. >> martha: joe manchin, in the polls before the election, they said would you vote for him if he had voted no on kavanaugh? people said no, i wouldn't. the polls have been all over the place on kavanaugh because some of the once we got yesterday also indicated that that was more positive for democrats and republicans, but that's not always all play out with donnelly either. donnelly said it had nothing to do with the whole doctor forward thing. it's because he's impartial. democrats were all over the map. it outrage so many people in terms of the issue of wanting a fair process. that's what it really got back to i think for some of the people. we that's such an old delegation without enough corroboration and they just don't want to see someone be hurt for that because it's not provable at that point in the situation. it's something i

that you need joe manchin to vote -- >> that's my point. >> to vote that 40% of the time so that merrick garland gets in and may reverse citizens united, brett kavanaugh one of you that. >> i'm curious of the thought of this, it's in the short term joe manchin was primaried and he loses and then the prisoner detention in the primary loses and joe manchin is replaced with the republican. >> obviously worse. >> it is worth. >> numbers are numbers. if joe manchin votes with toxic to a% of the time but republican votes with trump 100% of the time -- [talking over each other] i never said anything to contradict that so i don't know speeded because we want a small victory, but go ahead. >> my whole point though is that's obviously a fact, but i think the more a democratic politician represents the people and democratic values, the more likely they are to get elected even in my district despite everything you've been told because i honestly think it's largely propaganda this idea -- >> that is correct. can i does about the notion that propaganda? for someone who ran in 2010 come somebody who ra

my only point is the reason we have kavanaugh, the reason we do not have adjusted merrick garland is because we do have the majority in the transcendent. >> because we don't fight. if we fight we'll get a majority. [applause] the thing is -- >> the problem with that is that yes, that sounds amazing. >> because it's right. it's correct. >> that's why sounds amazing. >> let me ask you this. i don't want to get too sidetracked, but what would be the primary data point that you would use to say that in west virginia, for instance, -- >> this gentleman said it. richard is the answer. [applause] >> let me answer. this is important. in a a district that donald trp one by 49 points compass that a democrat leading by five points. the reason is, populism. because he said i'm going to fight an unlikely to back up and i'm going to tell people -- that's not a data point. >> he closed a giant gap. >> we haven't had an election since the last election. >> so look, the argument is that they found wholly in addition in west virginia -- >> not just that. i have more. also the fact the democrats lost 1

lemonis: do we have merrick brand dog food with grain? lisa: we don't.self-righteousness getting in the way of them being a profitable business. they need to carry products that meet everybody's needs. if it falls within the brand promise, they need to carry what the customers want, not what they want, and i'm gonna push this thing all the way to the wall. going forward, any product that meets the bentley's food promise should be available. so, like, when somebody says, "i want grain-filled," as opposed to grain-free, you're gonna be a powerhouse. you got to carry everything. giovanni: i think we'll lose a lot of credibility with a lot of the customers on why they trust us. lemonis: let the customer decide what they want. giovanni: and then we have no niche. i'm sorry. lemonis: the niche is products that meet this food promise. giovanni: i'm not gonna agree with it. lemonis: so, then don't have a brand promise, 'cause it doesn't mean anything. -giovanni: i think it does. -lemonis: then, if it does, then if somebody complies with it, why can't they get in

going to add 2 seats to the court, we're going to have 11 justices andway going to take back the merrick garland, who was barack obama's nominee, and we're going to undo what was wrought with kavanaugh and gorsuch. all it takes is an act by congress signed by the president to add seats to the court. doesn't take a constitutional amendment. legal, isn't it right? >> alan: i would defend the president's power to sign such a bill and congress's power to do it but i would strongly oppose it if i would have been alive during the 1930s when president roosevelt tried to back the court to try to make sure his new deal can be put in place. it would set a terrible precedent. >> david: is there an argument that to save the institution you have to burn it down first? >> alan: i think the it doesn't needed saving. the supreme court is operating. i've never been a complete spouterrer supporter of everything the supreme court does. a judicial conservative is someone you writes an opinion over what you do agree with. the debate of whether it's an alive or dead constitution. i used to fight with my frien

if they are no different why did democrats filibuster merrick garland, why did they filibuster corsetsy kennedy wait until there was a republican president, white tried to destroy brett cavanagh to keep him from taking the court? why doesn't ruth bader ginsburg resignedly trump replacer? a preposterous idea there's no difference between obama judges and trump judges? most voters a lot of voters voted in this election specifically because they wanted to make sure there were trump judges and not obama judges. the chief justice should stick to running the supreme court and not get in fights with the president. >> justice roberts was appointed by president bush in 2005. rob: a massive anti-terror operation underway in london after two suspected bombs are found hidden in an apartment, people living in surrounding homes forced to evacuate as investigators search the building that is under renovation. police say the bombs appeared to be improvised explosive devices, no arrests have been made. rob: a new report showing iran plans to build 5 nuclear weapons according to the nuclear watchdog gro

joining us, attorney misty merrick. walk us through the implications. but we have learned tonight from mexico that thousands of migrants are refusing mexico's offer of asylum. and not only that, they are demanding buses, buses to get them to the u.s. i would just say if you are really a victim in need asylum, wouldn't you take the first offer you get? >> absolutely, trish. that's something that has been addressed by president trump back in may. they were talking to the mexican government about a policy of the first safe country. when you get into mexico. if you left the country where you are avoiding prosecution, that's where you should seek asylum. however, there is no legal mechanism to force that. that's part of the issue. there is no agreement between the country that can legally force somebody seek asylum to seek tonight mexico. the bus issue. we saw a few days ago the same issue demands to the mexican government. trish: how do they demands anything? you are coming in from guatemala or el salvador and you are demanding? saying you are entitled to t

bloomberg'sring in david merrick. is in many ways out of step with how the market is feeling.es seem to be a sense that we are inching incrementally towards a deal. you need to read the tea leaves to get there. one of the things the market seems to be responding to is the idea that the attorney general is getting more involved in the process which implies we are getting towards the back end of the process. there is a sort of legal requirement in that. is that correct interpretation? >> that is a fair interpretation. we have been trying to pull back the curtains on what went on in that cabinet meeting today. the brexit secretary said thumbs up to reporters. that was enough to send the pound up a third of a point. that shows how nervous traders are about this. he is the attorney general. the last cabinet meeting on the subject we reported that he led a rebellion against the prime toister's plans, the plan keep the irish border invisible the matter what happens. today the reports are maybe he has softened his position. the bbc tweeting that a few minutes ago. if he is indeed soft

. >> merrick garland. karl: oh, fine. my point is this. both parties are now at each other's throats. the publicans better not aid the procedures of the democrats because it is our country that is being trashed by this area i do not care if you are republican or democrat. this process stinks. brett kavanaugh, whom we all know, brilliant, great integrity and he chose a life of public service rather than to cash in at some big law firm. how many people will say yes, i will subject myself to this kind of abuse are you he has undergone seven fbi investigations and not a single hint of this kind of crap. if anybody thinks that the things that we have on the table now are the only three by the end of the next week when the fbi investigation is over, you're kidding yourself. more trash will be coming out of the ether. >> we all went through fbi checks to get in the white house. they call your high school friends. they call the friends of the friends of the friends. margaret: i think it is heartbreaking to watch two individuals with their lives be

there's a vacancy in 2020, is he reluctant to move forward with the nominee, under the precedent of merrickthat happens. >> save that notebook. rachel? >> midterms have been framed as a blue wave, then a green wave in terms of money. now we have a pink wave with over three dozen women coming to congress, including a lot of young moms. capitol hill has been rethinking how work friendly it is for mothers. right now, they are putting nursing stations around the capitol. they are talking about putting diaper changing stations in lawmaker bathrooms and right now they're basically doing a reassessment to make sure it is a friendly work environment for mothers. >> amen. call the architect. good. that's good. some change is good, regardless of party. i'll close with this. 40 or more democrats. now scrambling to figure out if they can mount a credible campaign for president. how many republicans are asking that same 2020 with question? 2018 has shown us, yes, the gop has profound problems but, no, presidential weakness with the base is not one of them. there are republicans like retiring senator jef

garland's heat that was denied as the merrick garland was barack obama's dominique. [applause] and we will undo what was wrong with capital and gorsuch be all it takes an act of congress signed by the president to add seats to the court. it doesn't take a constitutional amendment. any problem with that? >> yes. it would be -- i would defend the president power to sign such a bill and congress' power to do it but i would strongly oppose it as it would have if i'd been alive during the 1930s when president roosevelt for every fy good intention try to pack the court to make sure that his new deal could be put in place for it just would set a terrible, terrible president. >> is an argument to be made and were to say visitation you have to burn it down first? >> i don't agree with that. the supreme court is operating, i've never been a complete supporter of everything the supreme court has done. i agree with you that definition of an activist to some of the rights and opinion you don't agree with and to judicial conservative somebody writes anything to do agree with. the

going to treat a man who by the way government, made judicial decisions 98% of the time similar to merrick garland, what else are they going to do when someone like amy barrett gets up there? >> when we talk about this shift in the policy of the republican party, in a lot of ways you represent, you see the guy outraged. >> free trade. >> how do you reconcile that? >> because i know the president and i know he is for free-trade. he is for free-trade. donald trump -- he changed positions over the course of his career except for that. if you go back to the 80s, donald trump on phil donahue, many of you don't know who phil donahue is. talking about the japanese taking advantage of us, unfair trade agreements. what he has accomplished, better deal with mexico, canada, better deal with south korea and that is just the fact. these trade deals are fair for the united states and trump's idea of free trade is free-trade. give the american people the opportunity to be on a level playing field they will beat anybody in the world. he is a free trader and that is how i justify that part. the other part

so the same guy who stole a supreme court seat from merrick garland wants bipartisanship.an you believe the balls on that guy's neck? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] thanksgiving is one week away. so if you like dry, tasteless, white meat, say hello to gop's incoming freshman class. [ laughter ] [ applause ] a company in wisconsin gained attention this week after they gave all of their employees handguns as christmas presents. well, that is appalling. they gave out christmas presents before thanksgiving. [ laughter ] and finally, a 73-year-old woman in florida was arrested last week after she reportedly brought meth with her to a doctor's office to have it tested. said the woman, "oh, no, that means i gave my dealer my urine sample." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] we have a fantastic show for you tonight. he is a legendary comedian who you can see on his national tour, "steve martin and martin short: now you see them soon you won't." martin short is back, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] he's starring in the powerful new film, "widows," brian tyree henry is ba

we saw this after the senate's refusal to even meet in some cases with merrick garland.h the confirmation of brett kavanaugh under highly contentious circumstances. so this is already a relatively precarious moment for the institutional legitimacy and credibility here. and trump really has made it his mission to take this long-standing impulse he's had and push it over the ledge. >> and let me ask you about -- we mentioned the russia investigation earlier in these written responses going back to mueller's team. what exactly do they do with these written responses? and what about this reporting we had earlier today that, well, if they have followup questions, what happens next? i mean, you know, sometimes they don't like followup questions over at the white house. what happens next? >> well, look, at this point, this exchange and dance has been going on for over a year. and according to the president's lawyer, rudy guiliani, they may have followup questions. they may get back to the president's team in a week or so. but we've seen these goalpost moves time after time. and

my only point is the reason we have kavanaugh, the reason we do not have a justice merrick garland is because we do have the majority senate. >> because we don't fight. if we fight we'll get a , majority. the problem with that is that >>the problem with that is that yes, that sounds amazing. because it's right. it's correct. >> that's why sounds amazing. >> let me ask you this. i don't want to get too sidetracked, but what would be the primary data point that you would use to say that in west virginia, for business -- >> this gentleman said it. richard is the answer. >> wait a second. >> let me answer. this is important. one by -- won by 39 points and a democrat to lead by ise point and the reason populism. he said i am going to fight and i am not going to back down. >> he closed a giant gap. talking] >> the argument is based on the polling, and was virginia, not just that, also the fact that the democrats lost 1000 seats under barack obama's ideology, chuck schumer's -- this idea, the moderates, given the moderates their chance. they had the past 40 years and now we have donald trump

and democrats over the last 24 hours have been quick to remind everyone of the name merrick garland.gene robinson and bill kristol. eugene, how high are your hopes for bipartisanship of all things in these next two years? >> not terribly high. there are some issues on which real progress could be made. we see prison reform. it would have been nice if they'd had some democrats at the announcement. but in fact it was -- the legislation was being pushed by democrats and worked on by democrats and republicans. great thing. sentencing reform is something that there's bipartisan support for. of course infrastructure. there are several things that could happen. but what does this president do? what is donald trump is going to be able to resist doing the one thing he does really well in politics and that's driving wedges and so i don't see him embracing democrats and singing for two years. >> bill, let's turn to congress. we heard jeff flake today. we've seen him for moderates and democrats, he has been more of a break on the power of donald trump than actual. come the new senate, are you lo

treat a man who, by the way, governed-- or made judicial decisions 98% of the time very similar to merrick garland, then what else are they going to do when westbound like my girl amy coney barrett gets up there. >> governor, when we talk about the shift of the policy of the republican party, you're in a lot of ways, you represent that conventional core, you'd be the guy outraged by the deficit. >> free trade. >> how do you reconcile na that? first off, i know the president and he's for free trade. people ask all the time donald trump and trade,he is a changed his positions on almost everything in the course of his career except for that. if you go back to the '80s donald trump on phil donahue and many of you don't know who phil donahue is and donald trump was talking about japanese taking unfair trade agreements. better deal with mexico, better deal with canada, better deal with south korea and that's just a fact. i mean, these trade deals are fair for the united states and trump's idea of free trade is purely freed trade, but if you give the american people the opportunity to compete on

carrots, to merrick it's really great for that. >> we don't consider it a meal a supplement.ng to give it a try. it was a veggie base. they do have a couple of allergies.ç there we go. are you ready. let's see if charlie likes it. i don't know what to do with it. so what is in the vegetable base. that one is apples, oranges and carrots. and then the spices. and then the spices are going to be ginger, to merrick. you should pair that with actual food. you can mix it in with the dry food. it's a little bit more softer for them to eat. that's how we started doing it. then it can also just be taken to them and given there. there is this movement towards healthier foods for dogs right now. just fish, and no grains. because he's very allergic. where can we buy good boy eóg beer. right now it is just in dog friendly restaurants and bars all over the u.s. we are in 18 states into three countries. we even just did a radio show in london. you can actually order it on the website. you can actually go by that. how did you come up with this idea. we started doing it for rocky. the friend

and an interesting note, all the present hassle we've seen in the last few years over merrick, garland, and gorsuch. do you think that's just happening today? that happened in 1800. here's what i mean. here's the story, thomas jefferson is elected in 1800, as you know, very close election, right? and the federalists -- the president was elected in november, sworn in in march of 1801. during that period of time, the federalists, adams, had been president, decided to create a whole bunch of new judgeships. both circuit judges and justices of the peace. and to fill them with members of the federalist party because they wanted to keep control of the judiciary. so this happens, they start filling all these judgeships. there were a bunch, about a dozen that were promulgated right before jefferson was sworn in, called the midnight appointments. these had to go to adams to have him sign it to deliver so these people could take their offices. but they didn't get to adams before thomas jefferson was sworn in, and jefferson instructed james madison, now his secretary of state, don't deliver these

they failed to even consider the president's qualified nominees of the supreme court chief judge merrick garland even though many republicans were on record saying this is a person who should be on the supreme court. i mention this because i want to compare what it was. i was chairman of the committee during the last two years of the bush administration. >> we could have done the same thing. we've just taken the majority. instead during the last two years of the bush administration we confirmed 68 judges to our federal court. 68 republican nominees during that two years. in the last two years of president obama the republicans aloud 22 judges and the number of the nominees had blue slips for both republicans and democratic senators and they still couldn't be heard and for the first time in the history of this nation blocked a supreme court justice from even having a hearing and a vet. now 68 judges in two years where the republicans are in charge, where democrats are in charge of the republican president, 22 when republicans were in charge. this congress in less than two years have said

i was also clerk to merrick garland and justice breyer. based on those experiences in addition to the work we've done with this group. hearing from men and women who have worked in a variety of roles, we make these recommendations today. we submitted written tem as you know, we're going to focus on our suggestions for improvement. we do wish to stress how quickly the judiciary has addressed these important issues. jamie and i are going to split up some of our topics. if you could save all of your hard questions for her. i would be appreciative. the topics i would like to discuss are -- which we've already covered a lot today, and i think we have a slightly different view on them. judge's mandatory reporting obligations, the importance of public disclosure of allegations of misconduct, the judiciary's power to assess institutional issues, and changes that could be implemented outside the framework of the rules and the code. which i realize is a little outside the purview of this hearing. i'll mention them at the end of my testimony. we've c

you know, not only did he say we're not going to seat merrick garland.a president trump nominee in 2020 if a seat comes open. that's the utter absence of principle there. if you look at the various problems in our system, the utter dysfunction in the senate where leaders go after each other in campaigns, using the nuclear option, the utter shutdown of civility. that's a lot of mcconnell. if you look at the dark money in politics, the unlimited spending. a lot of that is mcconnell. and then you saw him again this week bringing rick scott in and calling him a united states senator before that was, in fact, certified by the state of florida. so it's the utter pursuit of power without principle. >> you know, mitch mcconnell is ruthless. let's be clear. he has a singular goal which is power for himself and his political party. he sees no irony. the way he thinks he will make -- he and his party will make a permanent stamp on the united states, no matter what changes in the country that they will put young far right judges on the courts and keep them there. th

. >> if this was okay, then barack obama would have appointed merrick garland to the supreme court because he was senate confirmed to be a u.s. attorney just like matthew whitaker. the appointment itself is illegal. he is also incompetent, not just because of the scandals. if you look at his legal reasoning, this guy doesn't believe in marbury v madison. hiring an attorney general who doesn't believe in that is like hiring an astronaut who doesn't believe in the theory of gravity. it might not affect his job, but eventually his spaceship will fall of the sky and not know why. >> it's like a doctor who doesn't believe in tylenol. or pencilen. your strep will resolve itself. it's so basic to lawyers. i've been an attorney for almost 20 years. i have never seen a graduate of law school and a serious attorney say that the fundamental case that sets up our goo dijudicial system in am is invalid. it's staggering poor judgment to be put in that position. >> paul butler? >> if that's not all, he also does not believe in the separation of church and state. he's on record as saying judges should fol

we want academic as part of that and that is why we picked merrick and why we are reaching out to texas a&m and george washington university. we want all of the top schools, especially usa, and i don't want to shut them out as they are sponsoring today. we are definitely open to all of that. >> i think the city just announced a city's sister partnership with israel. they are looking at it from a general kind of city management, and israel is one of the most foremost countries when it comes to cyber, and we are talking a lot with israel right now. we actually have cybertek coming next week, and the next week michigan. they are a company out of israel that we are doing a lot of partnership with in indiana. >> i think we need to take it back to the national guard bureau because they do a couple of national level exercises. one of them is cyber shield and they bring a lot of industry partners there. they are wrapping up for 2019, and you have cyber guard, and we actually have a representative come to our commission meeting talking about an exercise. to speak to your point, i think we defini

embarrassed to say that at age 61 -- 67, i only became aware of this action in congress while the merricknd thing was going on. i could not believe it. are you kidding me that they are not bringing his nomination because they think he will be confirmed? confirmed,ve been had it been brought to the floor and voted upon. i could not believe it. then i decided to really pay attention. again, mitch mcconnell did not bring things to the floor that would have passed. thatgard to the democrats controlled the obama administration, their legislation that they brought to the floor when they had the majority was to benefit large amounts of people with the health care propositions. yes, they passed that. stuff that is being brought to the floor with the republicans is to benefit once again, these large corporations. i am just amazed, amazed that this keeps going on. when i see mitch mcconnell time and time again on c-span, just , thatntly going along things are going to be voted upon that he wants to be voted upon is very disappointed. something people have come to realize is really that the house an

on the other side, give credit to cocaine mitch, hey, the way he didn't hold a hearing for merrick garlandeat for republicans and the way he stuck with and pushed through kavanaugh really galvanized the republican party. folks who hadn't been warm to trump. republicans had been sort of iffy on trump were welded to trump and in the party came home in the end. >> you saw people like bret stephens who hates this president who tweeted out that, you know, he is finally thankful for the president with the brett kavanaugh thing. brian columnist for the "new york times." >> united different factions of the republican party that came together in support of brett kavanaugh and republicans who brought him through over the finish line. ainsley: if you look at history, whoever is in power in the presidency, the republicans, democrats usually do well in the mid terms and visa versa. in the past clinton and president obama. president bush. and all of them were reelected what are your predictions for 2020? tom, start with you. >> i think despite the fact that republicans lost some governorships in some ke

or the law of the land and we can't control outside spending and that may have been overturned had merrick garland, may be entrenched with this supreme court for 30 years absent some unforeseeable developments at the court, so the solution there would have to be a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision, for which there is actually quite a bit of support. these issues are unlike the idea of myths that we have to sort of unveil for people. this is completely transparent to everyone in america. something like 98% of americans support significant campaign finance reform. the only debate among americans over campaign finance reform is between whether it should be fundamentally changed or completely rebuilt. 39% favor fundamental change. 46% favor completely rebuild. i myself am not sure which one is more fundamental or complete, but it is pretty close call on that one. so the people are there. but of course, the impediment to fundamental campaign finance reform is the same as the impediment to any other significant policy reform which is the money and politics system itself. as entre

merrick garland, that they could actually hold 300, many of us thought, what's up with this? it's not ninety-day? that's one example. go on and on with these. our congressman, white house, great people we can make it with them, too whole bunch of things that be codified that i -- >> briefly. >> great question. >> what you think about? >> codification requires an act of congress that is interested in defending its institutional prerogatives. that won't fix the supreme court confirmation confirmation issue, but insofar as many i think all the time about the transition, the period of a few months from this evening session to the next administration. there's very little statutory law that governs how power crosses between outgoing and incoming administration. a lot of codification would be extremely helpful. there's a vulnerable time for the country when there's this president elected doesn't exercise formal authority, and yet needs to be getting up to speed on intelligence matters and other things. that just happens to custom and norm and practice. that's one small example but d
