harry reid has been sort of the godfather, the guy everybody has to visit, pay homage to.s he going to put his finger on the scale for anybody? >> it's a very good question. he keeps insisting he's not going to endorse before the caucus. but as you remember, chuck, when bernie sanders was running against hillary clinton, he said the same thing, they were his colleagues, he likes them both. and then after bernie won in new hampshire and hillary clinton's lead started evaporating here, reid made a phone call to the culinary union, which as many of your viewers know is the most powerful force here in democratic politics, and did put his thumb on the scale behind the scenes, and that helped clinton hold on. and that could have been a serious problem for her if bernie had won here, gathering the momentum for new hampshire, as you know. >> who has made the most inroads with the culinary union? there's always the old school way of working a union, biden knows how to do that. i note grassroots in this union is younger, it's hispanic, and i'm going to guess sanders has some inroads

one of the things that we know it appears that in august 2016, john brennan may have brief harry reidn the dossier. he said different things, and didn't say it much later, but it appears in 2016 he may have talked to harry reid about it. there is a lot of problems with comey 's brennan's testimony and what will appear in his testimony as well. >> this cannot drag into the summer of next year. have a great, great holiday. great to see you. mary merry christmas and all that jazz. did you forget that there's democrat debate going on tonight? will be one of the first to show you one of the most ridiculous assertions before mercedes schlapp and richard goodstein debate. stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. . but this, this is the future. the future of communicating of hearing and connecting with life. and this, is eargo. no appointments no waiting no hassles. and they are practically invisible in your ear. now you see it. now you don't. if you have hearing loss now is the time to do something about it. because denying you have hearing loss, well that's the old way >>

the culinary also likes to play it almost as coy as harry reid, oh, we're busy, we're doing contractiations, we have other things going on, but this time they are doing something that i don't recall them doing in the past which is inviting each of the candidates to come in and do town halls with their members. and of course the members are not sheep, they are not just going to follow what the leaders say that they are going to do, but the big issue for them as you know is med dare foicare fo. culinary has negotiated some of the best health care benefits for its workers. and there a fear there about losing their benefits. so warren and sanders have had to make the days that don't worry, you won't lose your benefits. while i think biden has explo exploited that. and whether that ends up making a difference on february 22, i think that it is still too early to tell. >> i know that sanders has been doing pretty well with latino voters. we haven't mentioned the mayor. he has a good presence in new hampshire, a really good presence in iowa, we know that he has money. i'm getting he has a d

he provided information to harry reid that was leaked to the media. too, i would suspect. what's being indicated here is efforts to disclose certain information at critical times in order to pressure the fbi to take this investigation and move it into a criminal investigation. that's the concern. if that was done with an effort that was politically motivated or directed by other higher ups. that's what they will sort out as a result of this investigation once they have the communications. that's the way to get to the bottom of what happens. >> the inspector general who has limited power, authority and jurisdiction said he thought the launching of the investigation in late 2016 was properly predicated. durham and bar made it clear they don't agree with that. what does that tell you? >> we should be pleased michael horowitz did what he was chattered to do which is revaluate the conduct of those within the department of justice and deal with the evidence before him without ability to subpoena testimony and certain documents and deal outside of the depart

looks set to take over from outgoing prime minister saad hariri but protesters have condemned harry reid's decision to back to head the next cabinet they say he won't be able to fix the corruption and government mismanagement that have led to weeks of protests but our correspondents anahata has the latest from beirut where protesters are gathering again. well they didn't get what they wanted what they wanted was an independent government independent from political parties in order to quote save the country the country is in dire economic straits they want their government to pave the way for early elections what lebanon's political leaders have agreed on is nominating really they're set to nominate some year for t.v. yes he doesn't have political experience but he has close ties with the ruling elite so that is why they took to the streets late yesterday they tried to block roads but the security forces quickly intervened there seems to be a deal among lebanese political factions that they will no longer allow this protest movement to disrupt political life yes they can gather in protest s

some have said to take over from outgoing prime minister saad hariri protesters have condemned harry reid's decision to back to head to head the next cabinet they say he won't be able to fix the corruption and mismanagement that have led to weeks of protests but our correspondents they know what is in the coastal city of sea don where people have taken to the streets against then we can see some of those protesters where you are and they clearly are happy about this reported deal talk us through why they're so opposed to. well some your hotel would like you mentioned there's likely to be nominated the next prime minister when lawmakers head to the presidential palace on monday it seems to have announced political factions have reached some sort of a deal a new prime minister as well as the makeup of the next government for people here some yes he has no political experience he doesn't belong to a political party but he is very close to the ruling elite so for people on the streets nothing has changed and it's not just that the makeup of the next government yes some technocrats will be a poi

was not embraced by the democratic leadership harry reid would not restore his seniority.went on to lose a 2010 democratic primary. my point is, it's not always easy to make a change like this especially in election season. and sometimes the voters of your new party are not as accepting as you would think they would be. >> we'll be watching to see how that all turns out. i also want to get your take on this. we've been talking to much about the president's place in history when it comes to impeachment. but you've noted that the president's legacy on another front was really cemented this week in what conservative judges have done. what we've seen. >> the most awesome responsibility of a president in my opinion beyond being commander in chief is those are lifetime appointments. i maintain that through that function, a president has more impact on our lives than arguably anything else except at a time of war. and the milestone is last wednesday, the same day we were paying attention to michael horowitz's testimony, the senate was ratifying president trump's 50th appellate pi

he used to work for senator harry reid, what do you think he would be thinking right now if he were stillthe senate about this, have they gone too far in making decisions ahead of time? >> i think he would be thinking the same thing, dick durbin is absolutely right. if we are going to give mitch mcconnell a hard time for not running a fair trial, then we need to make sure we are upholding our promise as well. you can have concerns, concerns about these things, we've seen from the house but i'm going to wait until the articles are in front of us and make that decision, i think that's okay but coming out as we've seen with lindsey graham and others saying "i know exactly how i am going to vote" and casting it off as a waste of time i think is really unfortunate and it's wrong. >> jessica: i think a lot of this has to do with the way the media works now, in 1998 and people were not on tv all the time or on twitter, what you think the impact it's had on people like amy klobuchar and cory booker and kamala harris who are for president, getting asked of this. >> lisa: they are in our faces all

david crone worked as chief of staff to democratic senator harry reid and praised the president tellingew york times i have to give credit where credit is due but some democrats see this as potentially silencing reasonable criticism of israel. my nationality is american, said brian schatz of hawaii, in a tweet citing a new york times story about the coming executive order. ilhan omar, an outspoken critic of israel retweeted, she proposed resolution, house that affirmed all americans have the right to participate in boycotts in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad, and listed a number of movements including the boycott of nazi germany, the moscow olympics and south african apartheid. that hurt her sharp rebuke from congressman lee sylvan. this new probe eds resolution by omar has the claim of moral equivalency between boycotting nazi germany and boycotting israel. disgraceful. >> the american jewish movements ari praising donald trump on this, the more conservative ones how pro-israel donald trump is an could further solidify his popularity in israel especially with the r

one reason for the faster pace is then democratic majority leader harry read harry reid's o kill the filibuster. they can no longer block a nominee. the trump-mcconnell. when they got rid of it, it paved the way for mitch mcconnell to spend all day, every day working to get new people confirmed. >> mitch mcconnell is very proud of that. president trump is succeeding at a rate that is twice as much as his three predecessors. that's quite an a compliment. >> jason: some of the 2020 nominees, they have some radical ideas for the supreme court. i think they are shocked donald trump is the president and they feel like they lost are these two supreme court people were stolen from them. look at pete buttigieg. i want to play some sound of pete buttigieg in his approach to the supreme court. >> 15 members, ten appointed in the political fashion and five can only be seated by unanimous agreement of the other ten. other ideas have been floated about term limits or rotating justices are from the appellate bench. >> there is nothing new under the sun. this is just court packing run amok. the rea

brennan meets privately in september with harry reid. want to know what role if any did the fbi and the cia play in trying to get out the dossier, market the story the trump was under investigation for colluding with the russians. >> julie: let's bring in robert ray, former federal prosecutor. what could brennan's role be? >> it goes to the origins of the russia collusion investigation and it's the merger between what was going on behind the scenes in the intelligence community and winded that information passover to the fbi? there has always been a divide and a well-recognized one between the intelligence community's mission which is to keep us safe and the law enforcement mission through the fbi to prosecute those who have engaged in criminal misconduct. the danger is when the two overlap and the fbi's mission has changed a bit post-9/11 to include an intelligence function as well. the problem is that's subject to potential mischief, and the mischief i think senator graham is referring to relates to what did the intelligence community

she was promoted when democratic majority leader harry reid was there. she's been retained by mitch mcconnell. and so she represents procedural continuity and procedural integrity in the senate. i'm guessing she's been studying impeachment trials, going all the way back to the late 1700s. and her job will be to give the chief justice advice on the floor of the senate as the trial is proceeding. my assumption is that she will meet or has met with the chief justice already or has met with his staff to go over the ground rules for how these trials have been run in the past and what the chief justice should expect to see on the floor of the senate. >> a very interesting and potentially crucial role. jeff, we know that the president has been airing his frustration on twitter, particularly towards house speaker nancy pelosi. what's his mindset right now, do you think? >> well, the one thing about president trump's mindset is we can pretty much always tell what it is by the twitter account, as you say. he is certainly frustrated with speaker pelosi. he's been f

don't forget when harry reid did the filibuster thing, all of the republicans warned, okay, new rules do it. mcconnell is using that now to push through hundreds of president trump's judicial nominees. so be careful what you ask for. >> katie: added 15 more judicial court judges today. >> dana: there you go. your rules. >> juan: you think it's right for him to coordinate with the white house. >> dana: the clintons did, why wouldn't the president do it? the whole impartial juror thing, the president is like lindsey graham was? do you think kamala harris is or someone like amy klobechar who's still in the presidential race is impartial? come on. >> juan: ditch your tech addiction with a digital detox. you can drop that device. coming up on "the five."

attorney for the eastern district of michigan, and the former spokesperson for senate majority leader harry reid and also press secretary back when president clinton was being impeached. barbara, let be start with you. i thought it was interesting the wording nancy pelosi used around what she viewed as violations, meddling in elections and i wondered how you see that language relating to what the categories of articles of impeachment might be. >> yeah, i thought those were interesting choices of words, and i think it suggests a strategy that is probably advisable in terms of looking at impeachment not as violations of technical statutory language like bribery or extortion or using terms like quid pro quo, but talking more broadly as we heard the professors testify about yesterday, the essence of impeachment is about abuse of power and the things that the framers of the constitution feared the most were foreign influence in elections and undermining our national security and putting a president's self-interests above the national interests. those are the things she seemed to hit, and it suggests

harry reid who is someone who honors the tradition of the senate, has said that this needs to be done. i believe that it needs to be done. not just to get progressive legislation, but to make sure the senate is more responsive to our democracy. it cannot just be a place where good ideas go to die. it should be a moderating influence, but now it has become a total brick wall. which is one reason why it might be a good idea to nominate a veteran from the industrial midwest to see to it that mitch mcconnell is no longer the majority leader of the senate in the first place. \[cheers and applause] >> we have a question from jonathan. how can universal health care be obtained while the insurance industry and for-profit health care bleed the population? mayor buttigieg: the insurance industry is fighting my plan because they don't want the competition. they like things the way they are but it is not working. yes, we had tremendous progress with the affordable care act. no question about that. people i care about have been saved by the affordable care act. but we clearly continue to have the

let's get more on this and bring in tony berkeley his life as imperious air tony it's not just harry reid's future movement party refusing to name a prime minister there's a few blocks are not naming anyone either why is this. what they could be a number of reasons it could be because of political strategy they want the tensions on the streets to die down they don't want to be seen to be supporting somebody that the major population doesn't agree with or it could be just waiting to see what happens if they didn't nominate only what we just had the lebanese forces block who came out they didn't nominate anyone either in fact there's only 2 candidates that have been nominated one was by the hezbollah alliance the shi'ite hezbollah and amal they nominated has sandia who used to be an education minister in the government between 20072014 now he's one of a professor at the american university of beirut but already on social media people are starting to say that maybe there are question marks about how we handled his time in office perhaps there was corruption allegations none of this corroborate

jefferson, who i'd love to have on the show, but he's a tough booking, but he used to work for harry reideat strategist and senate majority leader under the democratic party. he said what needs to happen for the democratic party is make a quick nomination and then try to consolidate the party and it should be sanders or warren, because to the point i think a lot of you are making, it's the progressive wing of the party with the energy and youth behind it and has the movement quality. do you agree that what democrats should do is to try to nominate quickly and then consolidate? because just to be honest, those who have ever been on twitter know that there's some toxicity still between the sanders world and some of their more vociferous supporters and people who voted for hillary clinton. that is still there. that is not gone. and consolidating everyone behind one candidate when that still exists is not going to be easy. a lot of people still have a lot of feelings that have not ended. do you think it would make -- do the party well to try to nominate quickly and try to consolidate everyone
