tom cotton and josh hawley will be out there in a very visible way. but we are going to see others including those who basically before trump went along with the more conventional foreign policy that really was the bushes and reagan's and maybe step up and be more supportive of the nato alliance, more critical of russia, and maybe move in a different direction. how much remains to be seen, but right now what we have seen is really a takeover of the party from unconventional sources. it didn't start with trump. you could go back to pat buchanan and look at his approach to foreign policy which was a kind of populism as well. >> i would argue, i agree that foreign policy issues is the one area republican members have been willing to substantively stepped out away from the president a little bit but i would argue that's the only one they can do that because the trump base doesn't care much about foreign policy. that's the only area where they can get away with creating some distance with the president and chilling fear not just with him 100%. i feel like

any sense of urgency democrats have had months to work with us on covid relief republican senator josh hawley says democrats only have themselves to blame for the gridlock. they apparently don't want to get a deal done that has nothing to do with the supreme court vacancy lawmakers on both sides del a deal will come together before election day in washington raquel martin. >>governor newsome has announced new initiatives to fight climate change the governor says that the state will halt cells of new gasoline powered passenger cars and trucks by 2035, this is huge. he says the move will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35%. he called on state regulators to come up with requirements to meet this goal. although other countries already have similar requirements, california will be the first in the united states. says this initiative will have a huge impact on pollution and of course the auto industry. >>the trends are in the direction of 0 emission vehicles, the trends are in the direction globally and 0 emission vehicles. if you are an american manufacturer how can you compete globally unless you

>>i think we should move for before election day missouri republican senator josh hawley says his party can not miss the opportunity to come from another conservative on to the supreme court i pledge that i would support and fight for pro constitution justices if i didn't do that now, but i said no we should we should wait, i don't hide explain that to my own voters holly's is already one candidate on the president's shortlist and ow i want to see justice who understands the significance of roe understands white wrongly decided i think to answer your question. i think amy baer certainly beats that standard abortion isn't the only issue the conservative court could determine democrats say voting rights lgbtq rights and more immediately obama care is on the line president trump and senator mcconnell go through with their plan to jam through a supreme court nominee this year the affordable care act. >>is doomed illinois democratic senator dick durbin is pleading with republicans to hold nominations until after voters weigh in there breaking their own promised the american people 20 million

senator tom cotton, senator ted cruz, senator josh hawley, people well known to this audience. why did you want to release them, and you are also calling on joe biden to release the names of people he would like to appoint the u.s. supreme court. 's >> president trump: because outside of war and peace, the most important thing a president does is select supreme court justices, and judges. you know, we are going to have probably over 300 by the end of my first term, which is a record, over 300 federal judges, court of appeals judges, too, so that is a number that nobody thought even possible, and we will have that number, and it'll be all confirmed and done and great, and also, supreme court judges or justices. the whole country, it depends on this decisions, which way you ga second amendment or not. the 2nd of may will be under siege. if i wasn't here, you wouldn't have a second amendment right now, you wouldn't have a right to guns. whether you had it or it was totally obliterated, it would be a different form then you have right now. i've kept it totally as it was, and it's s

sitting on that committee is republican senator from the great state of missouri, josh hawley.morning. >> a lot has happened since we last saw you. democrats are very clear. the republicans need to slow down or else. >> well, listen, elections have consequences. and the 2016 the country elected donald trump and in 2018, the country expanded the republican senate majority, including in the state of missouri. my seat. that's with when i was elected and the supreme court was very central to that it's time to move forward with the nomination for years republican senators have promised that they would confirm pro-constitutional, pro-life justice to us that bench. now it's time to do it. no more stealth nominees. no more secret moderates. we need a strong tough conservative, someone roe was wrongly decided someone stand up for the second amendment, religious liberty. it's time to put that kind of a person on the bench. ainsley: what would the timeline look like. president will nominate a woman he will make that announcement this week. if he makes that, cla what will happen in the wee

members of congress who has thought a lot about the effect of big tech monopolies is missouri senator josh hawleyyou have been coming to your credit, a warning about this for quite some time. clearly this has arrived fewer than two months from the presidential election. these companies have a hammerlock of information. what can we do to throw off their control and restore freedom of speech and thought and inquiry in this country before them? is there anything? >> we can let people sue, tucker, and we can let people like dr. atlas they do. her twitter account gets canceled, right now we can't. if you get discriminated against on the basis of speech by these platforms, you have no recourse because of the law that congress has written. this is the heart of the sweetheart deal that gets from big government and it is time to end it. that's how we can get their attention and that's how we can get power to individuals end-users and americans that take power away from big tech. >> tucker: amen. and of course the trial bar, an unlikely ally would join them. so who is standing in the way of such an obvious

josh hawley is a senator saying no one has done more to fight censorship and he has and we are happyo have him on, thank you so much for coming on the rich people have always had disproportionate influence on everything including politics and restaurant reservations and everything but it does seem like we're in in a moment now where a tiny group of the richest people in history are having a wildly disproportionate effect on this race. am i imagining that? >> your not imagining it. those people control the big tech companies, in the case of george soros every district attorney in the united states of america. he spent $17 million since 2015 alone trying to buy district attorneys and has had tremendous success in my home state of missouri in st. louis, and philadelphia, florida, texas, look all around the country and now big tech wants to silence any criticism of george soros and what he's doing great it's the same group of people as you pointed out, the billionaire class who have become radical leftists or coddling radical leftists, no wonder that the average working person feels like

a couple of those senators, ted cruz and josh hawley among them, on the list will be voting if president trump decides to nominate someone and ted cruz has been out in the past couple of hours talking about how he thinks that the vacancy needs to be filled before the election. because he sides what goes to the supreme court, the auction goes to the supreme court to allow 2,000 bush v gore, you would have a 4-4 liberal bench of the supreme court and it could create a constitutional crisis saying it's imperative to the senate to fill the vacancy. shannon. >> shannon: yeah, it's hard to imagine that timeline actually happening based on where we are at the moment. our political life. yes, let's hope it doesn't come to a supreme court 4-4 decision. but this is 2020. >> it is 2020. yeah. >> shannon: leland, thank you very much and appreciate your time. much more to come on the life and legacy of ruth bader ginsburg. we've got comments coming in from hillary clinton who was in a very tough presidential election in 2016 when we're having a very similar debate over the open seat and she sang toni

if you look at josh hawley who says roe v. wade repeal and replace, trump says we need to repeal and replace and comes out with that plan yesterday that was please come back to me. i know you like to abide more than me. you look at that and say, needs to make the case to the american public, if you want health care and protected, joe biden is your choice on november 3rd. >> dana: we will see what happens. >> jesse: i would say that make sense but doesn't that completely undermines the whole idea of identity politics. >> dana: a very reasonable democrats. >> greg: but my point is overall, it does not matter who you nominate tender ways. >> jessica: representation matters. and with o'connor and ruth bader ginsburg who was close to her and talk lovingly about her and her impact on ins berg's ability to come into her own. and so i don't buy that. >> dana: and i want to say i think the democrats will show up at the hearing to my jesse because all of them are auditioning for the primary 2020. >> jesse: they are getting a lot of pres

there are some great people in d.c., such as senator josh hawley in missouri, that are starting to pushk, but conservatives need to wake up, that this is an existential threat in the united states, and that bureaucracy, even under the trump administration, is now being weaponized against core traditional american values. and i would like to make it explicit, the president and the white house, it is within their authority and power to immediately issue an executive order abolishing critical race theory training from the federal government, and i call on the president to immediately issue this executive order and stamp out this destructive, divisive, pseudoscientific ideology at its roots, and i think it is something he has denounced, this kind of black lives matter, neo-marxist rhetoric in places like portland and seattle, but it is time to take action and destroy it within its own administration. >> tucker: the consequences of what you described are profound. i think we are seeing some of them now on our streets. i want to get to the second example, because it may be the most troubling

wade to be taken off of judicial precedent, and while you hear senators like josh hawley really pushingfor what they are looking for, a lot of voters out there, a majority of voters in the country overall, support abortion being legal. you are going to see donald trump, i think, trying to walk that line. maybe not triple down in the same way he has before about appointing someone who would definitely overturn roe v. wade. he would be interesting to see how he addresses this tomorrow in the announcement. >> harris: i was reading this morning that there are some democrats who lawrence would want to look at term limits for. particularly, if the president and republicans go ahead with this. what do you think about that? >> lawrence: well, i would think they'd learned their lesson about changing the rules, because this is why we are here right now. if the rules have changed in 2013, the rules, not just precedent, just rules being changed, then we wouldn't have this battle. it seems like democrats are setting themselves up to make yet another mistake. part of why this is going so fast, and i

republican senator josh hawley, sent a warning letter to senator chuck schumer don't attack judge barretturing the confirmation hearing. don't attack the catholic faith. do you think they will abide by it? republicans are trying to get to a vote by october 26th. what do you think is going to happen? >> look, anything's possible. right now you see a scattershot approach. they have tried the catholic card, which is particularly despicable. i can say that as an american catholic. and you know, in addition to that they also focused on the affordable care act. the results of the 2020 election, then also potentially roe vs. wade. that is awful shortsighted given the fact if judge barrett is confirmed. remember, liz, she is likely to serve on the court for as many as 30 years if the past is any guide. to think that, democrats are, you know, attacking with regard to particular issues that the supreme court would face, in the immediate near term, seems to me to be rather shortsighted. there are democrats, for example, who apparently plan to sit this out. including two on the judiciary committee. s

potential nominees to the supreme court. 20 names on that list, including some prominent ones, senators josh hawley and tom cotton as well, and amy barrett. her name came up previously after the retirement of justice anthony kennedy, and the president met with her back in 2017. ultimately deciding to nominate brett cavanaugh, who wound up being confirmed to the supreme court. it was believed that because of her stats on abortion it would be very difficult to confirm her, that democrats would latch onto her stance on roe v. wade and attack her. ultimately, her meeting with the president remained on trump's mind, specifically as a potential replacement for ruth bader ginsburg. as you noted, officials at the white house saying that the president could meet with nominees as early as next week, no matter who he picks it will certainly be a difficult confirmation process moving forward given the current political climate. >> boris sanchez at the white house. thank you so much. >>> so as message of mourning and support flood in from across the country, people in washington, d.c. are gathering on the u.s.

josh hawley is the senator from missouri, fair to say no one in the senate has done to fight texans areed and he has,av thanks so much for coming on. rich people have always had disproportionate influence onn everything, including politics and restaurant reservations, everything, but it does seem like we are in aa moment now where a tiny group of the richest people in history are having a wildly disproportionate effect on this race. am i imagining that? >> your not imagining it and those people control the big tech companies, those people are trying to buy in the case of george soros every district attorney in the united states of america, he spent $17 million since 2015 alone trying to buy district attorney's and he's had tremendous success. in my home state of missouri in st. louis, in philadelphia, florida, texas, look all aroundk the country and now, tucker, big tech wants to silence any criticism of george soros and what he is doing. if the same group of people, as you point out, the billionaire class who have become radical leftists or coddling radical leftists. it's no wonder the

ainsley: josh hawley was on our show earlier and he said we have an obligation to our voters to vote the way they want us to vote. he's going to push to go ahead and fill the seat either before the election or in the how many duck session. then duff ruth bader ginsburg who told her granddaughter on her death bed allegedly that her dying wish was to have the next president choose her successor. how do you think all of this plays outs? >> i don't know that she said that, or was that written out by adam schiff, schumer and pelosi. i would be more inclined to the second, it sounds so beautiful. but that sounds like a schumer deal or maybe a pelosi or shift few schiff. so that that came out of the wind. let's see. i mean, maybe she did and maybe she didn't. look, the bottom line is we won the election. we have an obligation to do what's right and act as quickly as possible. we should act quickly because we're going to have probably election things involved here, you know, because of the fake ballots that they'll be sending out which is a terrible -- steve: so, mr. president, you can't hav

some of the republican senators like josh hawley have said i won't even entertain the possibility of confirming someone who's not strongly opposed to roe v. wade. he's absolutely fine with this nominee, and that's because, you know, substantively there's a dramatic difference. and, look, maybe there's a case to be made if the president had an electoral mandate to try and change the composition of the court in such a fundamental way. but that's a case to be made in january if he can really, truly win the election and hold the senate. but i think even he acknowledges he's afraid he can't do any of that, and that's why he's taking this unprecedented, really risky step, which tarnishes the court immensely and tarnishes judge barrett. >> neal katyal, our returning guest tonight. counselor, thank you for always taking our questions. we appreciate it. >>> coming up after our next break, today's unusual statement from the biden campaign directed at donald trump, invoking bodily fluids. and while you don't see that kind of thing every day, it is 2020 after all, and it is the eve of the first
