reading you this from amy walter you know and respect.weeted the reason trump is losing women independent and suburban voters, independents, exhausted by the chaos and drama. leaning into all that in this debate. agree, one, and does that disappoint you as a republican? >> well, john, yes. i agree, respect amy a lot and i have to agree with her. look, women voters, the target audience for last night and the undecided voters, a lot of them are tired with the tone and tenor of this administration and this president, and they wanted to see a little softer tone, and unfortunately, they did not get that. i feel as though the constant interruptions and fighting and the going against not just joe biden but chris wallace was something really off-putting for the voters that needed to be swayed, but the point in terms of his base, his team, and people that support him, they loved it. they loved the bull in the china shop. they loved the fact he took on not just joe biden but chris wallace saying he's going to fight for us and jobs and the kmoi just

times" white house correspondent maggie haberman and national editor of the cook political report, amy waltergie, let me start with you. we both know michael caputo. it is kind of, i think, classic that he's not denying that they are changing this very long-standing weekly cdc report. what he's doing is sending a signal, we're trying to prevent the deep state from taking over. but what scientists are saying that he's doing, scientists who say that no administration has ever done this before is that they're trying to -- maybe the science comply with the reality that the president talked about in rallies like last night, forgive me. >> dana, this has been a constant for six months now. a little over six months as we have been seeing response from the administration to this pandemic. there has been a huge concern that whenever this administration has had the opportunity, that they have tried to massage the messaging, they have treated messaging as the most important thing as opposed to the actual science. and certainly you can see that mess annual co message comes from the top, look at twhat the

our panel, bill bennett, former education secretary and host of the bill bennett show podcast, amy waltereal clear politics cofounder and president, great to have all of you with us tonight for this exciting evening. bill, let me start with you. they began the process today on capitol hill with amy coney barrett meeting with mitch mcconnell, as he just said, but there are several democrats who say that they will not even take that meeting. >> yet, they won't touch her, they won't meet her. can you make a more impressive person or impressive human being than amy coney barrett and personal qualities, career, compliments? the one thing, senator schumer, that it is not is illegitimate. the constitution says the president can propose someone, nominate someone in the senate advises and consents. that's what it says. it doesn't say can't happen in september, can't happen in august. as justice ginsburg reminded us, the president is president for four years, not three years and ten months, you may not like it but you lost the election and that's the price. >> bret: traditionally the supreme court
