hugh hewitt, you are a -- somebody that worked at the justice department. know about legal arguments. this is in front of the supreme court. should he have tweeted the phrase travel ban? >> yes. i think he is actually raising the ante in terms of getting the court to move more quickly on the disposition. he is fairly confident as i am that the fourth circuit court decision is wrong. the first tweet is the tweet i like. there is an alliance within the alliance and attack on one of those five, we always bemoan and in the world.y attack anywhere but new zealand, australia, canada, uk and u.s. are the five alliances. he should stick to the high road on this. nothing else. >> he already attacked the mayor of london, stephanie. >> he has. i mean, never before in our history have we seen a president of the united states confirming something ahead of his own national security council, forwarding things that are printed on drudge about a terror attack and one of our dearest alliances in london. so number one. number two, he's politicizing it by attacking the mayor o

from the hugh hewitt show, mckay coppins from the atlantic and car rown demirjian of the washington most. i'm pleased to have them here. hugh, let me begin with you. give me your assessment of what you saw and heard today in washington. >> it was kind of an epic day, charlie. i was rivetted, i believe that most of the country will remain rivetted because it is a political theater of the sort we haven't seen since oliver north or perhaps a couple of the other big ones but it say political event, of a legal event is of almost no consequences because it neither advances or hinders an investigation. the president can't be prosecuted to be begin with. the obstruction of justice statutes probably don't even apply to the federal bureau investigation investigations but as a political events' enormously significant and there is a tug of war on right now over who won that event. and the president is claiming vined kaition. the dem crates are claiming obstruction. and jim comey is walking away dinged up if not battered. >> why do you say dingd up but if not battered other than because of what h

radio host, hugh hewitt, who also now hosts a show here on msnbc on saturdays at 8:00 a.m. d andrea gibbs lejay with the center for american progress, welcome, all. hugh, i'll start with you. mitch mcconnell had a hard enough job today. how much harder did president trump make it? >> he made it much harder. what the president tweeted was wrong. it was cruel. it's an admission against interests that you are weak and being beaten and that it's under your head. and i heard senator collins say to you just moments ago, she wishes he would stop tweeting. jake tapper and andrea mitchell got awards last week from the los angeles press club and jake gave a speech about truth and decency. the president can tweet about truth. he can mix it up. they haven't proved collusion. they haven't proved obstruction. but the decency part has got to infuse his public communications. that's important for a president to maintain that level. so he heard everything this week. i hope he rethinks that policy. >> 71? >> he's not going to. i mean, this is who he is. like, he has showed hy eed himsr and ov

>> here's a clip from an interview with jared this morning on "the hugh hewitt show" this morning. >> with the president nearly every day, we have 30 to 45 minutes on his schedule that almost always runs long, which is great. he has a serious consumer product for the intelligence community to deliver. and i appreciate that because it informs how he thinks about the world. i know my predecessor handled it differently. was not there very often, president obama consumed intelligence in a different way. president trump is incredibly demanding of the intelligence community, asks us incredibly difficult questions and accounts on myself and other leaders to deliver the answers for him. >> meanwhile, house intel ranking member adam schiff on the political courage for republicans to start talking impeachment. here's what he said at a national security council conference in washington yesterday. >> in a gop-led congress, that comes down to not a legal definition of high crimes and misdemeanors, was rather gop members would be in a position to go home to their districts and say that the evidence

replacing obamacare is make or break moment for republicans hugh hewitt has a strong opinion that senates have to hold their nose to pass it back to the house or risk their own re-election. all the other reforms the party promised and the future of the party could be at risk writes obamacare is a catastrophe on its own terms consequences of not passing repeal are worse beyond awful health care outcomes, will forfeit every other republican goal failing to deliver on central promise of 8 years of debates and campaigns will shatter credibility of every republican, not just those who block the bill the party as a whole will be grafl wounded perhaps beyond healing for a generation or more strong words i hate it feels more about job security than getting a health care bill passed best for the american people, regardless of the party. that bothers me. not saying it is not true, it bothers me this is the way politics works >> it is sad totally politicized on both sides. president trump said over the weekend -- said democrats won't vote for it no matter what we get that cbo score later today poss

justice department spokesman, greg miller is the author of the article everyone is talking about, hugh hewittd cyst and talk show host. hugh, i'm going to start with you. i was off at a family wedding when the big announcement was made. congratulations. welcome to the team. >> thank you as well. i want to thank greg for giving me a story to ask pompeo about on friday. he wouldn't confirm the details but he did say indeed russia medd meddled with the election. i tried to get him to comment on greg's story but he wouldn't do that. it was a blockbuster and set up my first interview. thank you, greg. >> as hallie and i were just y saying, people have akiesed the current president of obstruction, collusion, now he's turning that around on president obama. and then let me play what the president said yesterday. >> the question is if he had the information, why didn't he do something about it? he should have done something about it. >> so, is that the best you think argument that the republicans have now is if you're going to divert attention, you divert it back to the former president and say why d

. ♪ charlie: we continue our coverage of the comey hearing with hugh hewitt, from the popular conservativehow. and writers from the atlantic and washington post. assessment of what you saw and heard today in washington. >> it was kind of an epic day, charlie. i was riveted. most of the country will remain riveted because it is a political theater we have not seen since oliver north. it is a political event. as a legal event, it is almost of no consequence. it neither advances nor hinders an investigation. the president cannot be prosecuted to begin with. the obstruction of justice statutes probably do not even apply to these investigations. as a political event it is enormously significant. there is a tug-of-war over who won that event. democrats are claiming obstruction but james comey is walking around, dinged up but not battered. charlie: why do you say that? other than what he said about leaking the memos he wrote after the occasions the net with the president? hugh: that is a major part of there.ibits that will be he manipulates the president, probably leads people he did so, other oc

in fact here is a clip from an interview this morning on the hugh hewitt show. >> we are decades into the russians trying to undermine american democracy. so in some ways there is no news, but it certainly puts a heightened emphasis on our ability to figure out how to stop them. >> the news was it putin personally directed it. did he do that? >> i can't confirm intelligence represented to that. >> director com pay o's comment on on the heels of this, the obama administration knew far in advance of november 8th about election meddling by rufsh sssi did nothing. why? kelly, what is the president trump say battleground state health bill. >> this is a time for a real push by the white house and mostly senate leaders in the -- republican leaders mitch mcconnell and so forth because they have a limited window of time. they have put out a discussion draft as they call it, sort of a working document that they think could be the senate version of the health care overhaul. but they have to get it locked in by tuesday in order to vote on thursday. and then of course the nation pauses for the 4th

joining me for inside an analysis are hugh hewitt, host of the sail he will radio network, stephy cutter "the washington post" and hearth mcghee, president of the progressive group demos. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >>> good sunday morning. we have three big stories that we're following. the u.s. withdrawal from the paris climate agreement. former fbi director james comey set to testify on capitol hill and once again we're waking up to news of a terror attack and once again, it happened in the uk. seven people are dead plus the three attackers and dozens more are wounded in an attack by three men whom first mowed down pedestrians at london bridge last night and then began stabbing people who were simply enjoying a saturday evening at nearby bars and restaurants. the three men were shot and killed by london police and this morning we learned that 12 people had been arrested according to metropolitan police in london. here's witnesses describing the attack. >> i'm saw people running and screaming. somebody was injured. i see people with some blood. and it was the worst day of

conservatives hugh hewitt, if republicans fail, we end up with single-payer. what say you?crats want to go, something they talked about recently and even the obamacare original discussion that was their ultimate goal. when we get beyond discussions of single-payer and democrats and republicans, at the end of the day the american people are suffering under obamacare, they are the victims. stuart: forgive me for this but if we don't get an agreement among the republicans, if there was no agreement, no vote on whatever they come up with, a no vote, we are stuck with obamacare, stuck with a democrat solution that would be worse than what we have got. >> of the record has shown obamacare is collapsing in front of our eyes so you will see republicans come together, this is the legislative process designed to work with the house vote, and coming together under the leadership of donald trump. they are working on moving forward. stuart: when i was on the air yesterday there were six republican holdouts. as of now, there are nine republican holdout, they are not coming together, they

with me, hugh hewitt and howard dean, former vermont governor, former chairman of the democratic committeeete the lawyer's statement, i should add probably that he said completely vindicated about his assertion that the former fbi director said three times that he wasn't the subject of investigation. >> yeah, it really doesn't matter what the president's lawyer says. the optics of the testimony today where admiral rogers and dan coats wouldn't answer the questions. that's the story of the day, and it's a disaster. it's a disaster both personally for them because i think they're men of integty because they're going to now have to get lawyer u because the special counsel is going to -- is going to interrogate them and put them under oath. and they are not going to be able to do what they just did to the senate where they're in a deposition. >> i actually don't think they need lawyers. all you got to do is talk to mueller and tell the truth. >> i mean you're a lawyer, right? so i shouldn't be arguing with you. >> this is going to be -- >> if you go tiny a depositioin without a lawyer, you are

paul ryan defended bob mueller this morning on hugh hewitt's talk show. >> i think you had republicanswrit large came out when bob mueller was appointed to the special counsel saying this is the guy for the job, this is the professional who will take it out of this kind of combat political back and forth of partisanship. now you're seeing in the last five days or so where republican, kind of grass-roots, the ann coulters of the world saying, no, bob mueller is no longer qualified. he is tainted. he is best friends with comey and they're trying to cast aspersions on this. newt gingrich came out this morning, kind of re-casting his statement once again saying he has talked to the president and he doesn't believe he'll actually fire him. >> we have the sound bite from this morning. talking about all this. take a listen. >> you think the president is considering firing robert mueller? >> no. absolutely not. >> why don't you think that? >> i think the president is pretty confident that ultimately this is all going to come out in the wash and ultimately he is still going to be president and

but let us all recognize what the omb director says in an off hend comment on hugh hewitt's radio station 6:30 a.m. does not represent the u.s. navy. let's look instead at what the navy has said and written. and the claim laid on the table that the navy doesn't want the ship is patently false. as deputy secretary defense bob work who authored the most thor row, honest and unsparing program concluding the navy is getting nearly the exact ship it asked for and in some key aspects a better ship than expected. we spent months asking the navy this very question in a subcommittee. the program executive officer told chairman whitman and myself and everyone else that the navy needs three ships per year and need it to keep the production line hot to facilitate that transition. stack li's name was invoked. let's also recognize the administration was forced to defend top line number 603 sent to them by onb without doing strategic evaluation behind what numbers actually needed. lcs program is of critical importance to our navy. the designs are stable, new yard facilities are in place with the right s
