confirmation hearings for judge amy coney barrett are set to begin in just a little over two weeks on2th. if senate majority leader mitch mcconnell sticks to this proposed schedule we showed you, judge barrett may be confirmed just days before the november election. with me now pulitzer prize winner michael schmidt, and author of "the new york times" best-seller "donald trump: versus the united states, inside the trouble to stop a president." and suhail kapur. that is a breakneck pace. is that really what we're going to be seeing? >> it looks like it. and it looks like they have the votes and the ability and the control to do that. but i think the most important thing for us for understanding what's going on today and what's going to happen in the next few weeks is this type of nomination, this type of justice is the umbilical cord between the president and his base. it has been the thing that has allowed the president to behave and get into trouble in ways that other presidents haven't been able to survive. and it has allowed the president to have this tie to the republican party in

so they attack amy coney barrett's family. e abortion industry lobby group tweeted that barrett "belongs to a group believes that husbands are in charge of their wives." larry is considering amy barrett's life and she seems pretty self-directed but other outlets places like politico and the guardian suggested that barrett belongs to a cold. they said the usual partisan operatives and think takes exist to give way to fake stories. in fact, barrett is a member of the mainstream christian group and part of the renewal movement that started in the '70s. of tens of millions of charismatic christians around the world. this is not a fringe sect. in fact, some members of people are actually politically liberal it turns out. one indication of this is pope francis. one of the auxiliary bishops from portland, oregon. but the details aren't the point of this. attacking christianity is the point of this. why do they hate christianity, at its core, christianity is a threat to the left because it acknowledges an authority higher than the demo

you can see why they've got to stop amy coney barrett. re is one connecticut senator telling you with a straight face that amy coney barrett is illegitimate. >> i have no intention of meeting with judge barrett because i simplyec refuse to trt this sham process is really legitimate and fair. >> tucker: okay. so this isn't just a debate over procedure. on saturday, the most powerfulhe democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, announced that amy coney barrett actually stands against everything that america believes in and stands for. grotesque. watch. >> just about everything that america believes in an and standser for when it comes to issues with health care, lgbtq rights, women's rights. judge barrett stands against all of that. just as ginsberg will be turning over in her grave to see that the people they chose seems to be intent on undoing all the things that ginsberg did. >> tucker: okay. so follow this>> reasoning. if you can. ruth bader ginsburg is quote turning on her grave, we must honor her final dying wish, from a party that is agai

how did he come to amy coney barrett? >> well, i think you could probably say, leland, this was a decision that had its beginnings, if not, was mostly done back in 2018. judge amy coney barrett of the 7th circuit court of appeals, was when judge kennedy retired and the president ultimately went with brett kavanaugh, but to have the seat if and when. and here we are todayment multiple sources have told us as you pointed out at the time that it will be barrett, but some republicans, some republicans who have been told it's her say they're not going to be 100% sure until she walks out with the president at 5:00 this afternoon. he does like to keep us guessing. when the announcement is made, the clock will start ticking toward confirmation, the election is in 38 days, using history as a guide that should be plenty of time to get barrett through. hearings would likely be, the judiciary has to hold the nomination for a week before holding a vote and take a couple of days for a vote in the senate. likely around october 28th. but

why is the amy coney barrett nomination so troubling? american people should make no mistake about it. a vote for judge barrett is a vote to take away health care and its protections for over 130 million americans who now have protections against pre-existing conditions. for over 40 million americans that pay less for drugs on medicare. close to 10 million americans that will lose their health care all together. a vote for amy coney barrett is you a dagger aimed at the heart of the health care protections americans so desperately need and want. by nominating judge barrett to the supreme court, president trump has put americans' health care at grave risk and

you saw jennifer griffin lay out the attacks against amy coney barrett. 'll talk about them throughout the morning. for me, they're essentially characterized at three different levels. one is formal argument against amy coney barrett from the democratic party. jedediah, you laid that out. that will have to do with the affordable care act, will do with her views on abortion. they will launch quote-unquote views against those laws. the more aggressive democratic party will certainly be attacking, looking to poke holes for addressing her religion. we've seen that in the past in 2017 with senators like dianne feinstein. the more extreme but no less influential elements of the left have started to look into her adoption of two kids from haiti. they have suggested that is act of performance, not the act of a loving parent. all levels of attack will be seen and heard on amy coney barrett. i would suggest that she and many on the right should be prepared for a response. those could come up, pete. those could come up, jed. go ahead, pete. i'm sorry. pete: everythin
