and again, after the house session this morning, the pro forma session, expect to talk to bob cusack of "the hill." let's go to dan in georgetown, massachusetts. independent line, welcome. caller: hi, how are you today? host: great, thanks. caller: thanks for having me on. i wanted to say something about the supreme court issue you had up there. you know, i feel as though what we've been seeing very recently in our government overall is the influence on the people that are running our government. there seems to be an influence on congress, there's an influence on the president, there's an influence on the f.b.i., there's an influence on all aspects of government. i think, i could be wrong, but the supreme court taking up roe vs. wade at this time seems very odd to me. it feels as though what we're seeing is the overwhelming power of our government and its influence to sway what happens in our pretend elections. thank you. host: we opened the program this morning asking about do you have confidence in the u.s. supreme court. one of the pieces we touched on was this published this morn

>>bob cusack, any thoughts? >>i'm a big fan of the first amendment as well. i do think that in the rough discourse of politics over the last decade, there has been some concern. there's been concern about what you can say and obviously what politicians say matter, and sometimes they put their foot in their mouth. but i do think that, it's been talked about how some comedians have been gone off. i think it is the first amendment is a great thing, and it has limits, of course, but you can't say anything anywhere, but it that's why it's the first amendment, and i do think that some people have a good point about saying that it has been attacked in recent years. >>back to congress and the potential of a republican takeover. jim jordan told a business group last week, cleveland.com reported that he expects that the republicans to roll out some sort of plan for their agenda. do you have any inkling of what would be in the plan for a potential republican takeover of the u.s. house? something like a contract with america from 1994. >>yeah, the house republicans are g

later, the hill's editor-in-chief bob cusack on what is ahead in congress this fall as lawmakers prepare for midterm elections. "washington journal" starts now. ♪ host: security barricades have come down at the u.s. supreme court following this summer's protest over the court's abortion decision. but concerns over the direction of the court remain, particularly among democrats. according to one survey, public opinion of the court has fallen to its lowest level in years. like everything else these days, it is now a political viewpoint and the response depends on who you ask. they begin their new term in little less than a month. we want to hear how confident you are in the u.s. supreme court. welcome to the program for this tuesday, september 6.

. >> we'd like to hear calls and comments bob cusack from the hill is with us. 202-74-8800 and democrats and (202)748-8002 for independents and others. what's ahead this fall for the january 6 committee? >> they want to have at least another hearing. i don't believe they have announced when that hearing will be. this was interesting because before the august recess there were suggestions from members on that panel that they would be wrapped up by this recess but they have had new witnesses apparently in new information is come to light. i think they will at least have one more in we will see at the time prime-time again. but that investigation really has to wrap up and will wrap up at the end of this congress. certainly if republicans expect and they are favored to win the house the january 6 in the next congress so they know that and that's why they are looking to wrap up their work in the final report and we've seen some interesting tensions between the january 6 committee in the department of justice and the big question of course is when will the department of justice indyke presiden

host: we'd like to hear your calls and comments, bob cusack of "the hill" is with us. 202-748-8000 ishe line for democrats. 202-748-8001 for republicans. 202-748-8002 for independents and others. what's ahead this fall for the january 6 committee? guest: they want to have at least another hearing. i don't believe they've announced when that hearing will be. now, this was interesting, because before the august recess, there were suggestions from members on that panel that they would be wrapped up by the august recess, but they've had new witnesses, that is considered a must pass a bill. brought up by one senator it tends to split out the process. that is so precious in the senate and precious this fall because chuck schumer has been very adamant of saying hey, he is trying to put the puzzle together. it's really hard, incumbents usually when. anytime you have an incumbent announce their retirement and especially in a purple district, that is almost kind of a loss for the party that is retiring. >> let's get to callers as well. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my

he says he stands outside of his house every night with a boombox over his head like sean cusack.al show. it was nominated for 20 emmys this year. i think it was also noted for 20 emmys the previous year, so that show just kills it.and n this only network sitcom that was nominated was abbot elementary. and i'm glad that's a very good . this is going right. very good transition there, jen because sheryl lee ralph and abbott elem basically stole the show. when she came out. she got an award. she came out and tell us about what she did that got everyone. some people even stood up after she did this and clap for her. i mean, that was that was the wow. moment of the evening. if you ask me and sheryl lee ralph came actually won best supporting actress for her role in abbott elementary, and when she belted out the song and dangerous species on stage look at her. oh, my gosh, this is right before her acceptance speech, man. everybody in that place had goose bumps. and do you watch the show south did so on the show. her character is a little bit subdued. but when you hear her talk, she is
