my pal chris stirewalt comes from d.c.nd says what's all this black people won't be in elite insurgents. affirmative action is a big deal for the summer in court, and they set the rules for how schools can consider young people, especially young people from underprivileged conditions. the larger point in my thinking is that what you're looking at now is approving a fifth conservative justice and polarized political times potentially creating a rubber-stamp on the supreme court for a conservative agenda. people say well, president trump says he's not going to ask about abortion. it is not a litmus test for the conservatives. let me read you a quote that comes from donald trump. he says "that'll happen automatically in my opinion because i'm putting pro-life justices on the court. it'll go back to the states, and the states and can make the determination." this is not a secret to liberals, and it's not a secret to conservatives. he wants justices who will undo roe v. wade. >> kimberly: i don't know if he wants to undo, but t

chris stirewalt, you say things like that a lot of times too.t like that. >> i have never held a firearm on another living human so i'm at a disadvantage in that way. >> martha: that's because your children aren't dating age yet. >> that's true and i was blessed not to have daughters in that way. those ads did not work for kemp. he was losing considerably to casey cagle. what lost this race for casey cagle, who interviewed him, he was consistently ahead, one of his former rivals from the first round of the primary, they do a two round with a runoff. in the first round this guy went in and he ask him for his endorsement. he flipped his iphone in his pocket, turned the record on and he said things that are true but the politicians shouldn't say in public and this guy released the audio and it blew the bottom out of him. i mean roasted him. and then at the end, he gets the dirty tricks and just as he's trying to scrape back from the bottom, the white house weighs in. the president tweets and then mike pence comes down for a visit because one of the

mara eliasson, and chris stirewalt's politics editor here at fox news.ake on all of it? >> it's been a crazy day at a lot of people here in d.c. are absolutely freaking out about president trump declining to have a strong condemnation of russia. they are saying this is treasonous, that he's a traitor. strong condemnation of russia for their election meddling saying he's a traitor, he needs to be removed from office. i think a lot of people who support him say i don't see with a big deal is, there's not much you can do in this kind of environment, but it seems like donald trump of all people should have been able to split this baby and you can point out that our intelligence agencies have come to this conclusion and it's not just bob mueller. that indictment reads a lot like the report that came out of the house permanent inspect committee on intelligence led by devin nunes. it's also dan coats. this is a very broad, bipartisan issue, so you can stand behind that and also make the point that he's declining to admit guilt. >> bret: you referencing john bre
