personally subscribes to christian teaching on abortion and gay marriage, this is explicitly what jeanne shaheend when she said she was opposing it. it's his absolutism, the cultural war on their side is holding. that's why the democrats are opposing him to be secretary of state. kennedy: mike pompeo should say government should get out of marriage. we don't have to have this conversation in a public setting. but there are reasons to question his bona fides when it comes to being secretary of state. >> he's been on an aggressive position that montreal and bush have held. but as far as averse civil liberties, willing to say, well, the definition of torture needs to be defined better. i think trump, barack obama and george bush have all had -- been way too easy toward torture. and in either party do you have a significant push against it. kennedy: if rand paolo poses him in the committee he's seen as a pariah. are there enough democrats who will come on board on give him the nod for the nomination? >> it's entirely possible because there are a lot of democrats who want to fight him over the social

back in january, 13 democrats voted jeanne shaheen has indicated she may vote no. me now, congressman, good to have you here tonight. what did you think of what you saw and there tonight and do you think that mike pompeo will ultimately be approved? >> what's most reassuring is mike pompeo is smarter, so he's going to win, but it's truly bad for the country, it's bad for our country's morale to see those types of tedious questions, really showboating questions being asked. we have a lot of serious issues in the world. we need to have an honest debate on both sides of them. there's no easy answer to syria, there is no easy answer to terrorism. i'm the first to tell you, these are not easy decisions to come to. that's what he should be questioned about. not these other questions which are cheap shots. >> martha: i think there are some genuine concerns here about whether or not he could be approved. democrats want to use this opportunity to protect the legacy of the iran deal which they believe he would like to overturn. they've got until may 12th. rand paul is unknow

jeanne shaheen said she wasn't going to vote for him because of his pro-life views, the fact that he little bit too christian. had views that were biblical. think about that. there is a constitutional prohibition about putting a religious test on public office, and that's exactly what she has done. if the democrats want to play this game, then i hope they are expecting that when republicans are in a position to confirm a democrat presidents appointee some time, they just say no. this guy is pro-abortion, so we're not going to confirm it. i will tell you i like rand paul a lot but he needs to vote to confirm pompeo for the simple reason. had rand paul been elected president, he would've wanted his team to be confirmed. a president has a right to put people on the field that he wants to put, unless there is something morally repugnant about them or unless they are horribly unqualified. >> laura: pompeo could say he's a warmonger, too interventionist. they are about to meet with north korea to avoid a confrontation. he already met with kim jong un. this is crazy town stuff. quickly on t

then you had things like jeanne shaheen, the senator from new hampshire saying she was gonna vote against him because of his position on abortion. it's almost laughable at any other time but that's where we are. profound partisanship, and the constituency for many democrats who will be satisfied with nothing less than all-out opposition to donald trump and every single thing he does, even if these things are otherwise, would normally go forward without objection. it is set of donald trump that he's stepped all over all kinds of norms in our country. perhaps he has. but he has induced his opponents to do the same thing. this behavior toward this nominee is but one example. >> bret: that's right. as we look at the state visit by the french president and his wife, obviously they will be this state dinner. no democrats invited. that seems to be a first as well. >> yeah, that's another norm that's been ignored. i think that's regrettable. but i would say this about the relationship with emmanuel macron. he's an important ally for this president. we've had a long alliance with the french going

jeanne shaheen had no problem voting for him as cia director who today she said she wasn't going to vote for him because he is pro-life. it's not going to pass muster at serious times like this. >> bret: so many things going on. you have a new national security advisor in john bolton who we see is now sitting down in the room there. waiting for the leaders, president trump and the japanese prime minister to come in. is there a sense inside, jonathan, that he has his feet under him? that bolton is running the nsc show like he wants to? >> yeah, and absolutely but he's going to change it fundamentally. there are lists of people that he was considering getting rid of. a lot of those people are either out or on the way out. he's going to bring his own people in. it's going to be a very different dynamic. he asked, the president has empowered him to put his own people in there. in some cases over john kelly's objections. john kelly wanted a guy to replace mcmaster as the national security advisor. not only did that not happen but he's now off the national security council. bolton knows how to

then there were swings and messes, like this one from senator jeanne shaheen. >> you were criticizeda for undermining policies of the previous administration to improve diversity at the cia. >> i don't know the criticism that you referring to. i have to tell you, i didn't undermine a single policy. >> i would just say come on michael weinstein, former air force officer who founded the military religious freedom foundation says that he has been seeing increasing complaints from those inside the intelligence community under your leadership. >> the number of, we call them no fear complaints, statutory requirements decreased from 20162017 by 40%. >> good. >> laura: i like the "good. that is pathetic. even dianne feinstein, who is usually more reasonable in those matters, voted to confirm pompeo as cia director just last year, she's announced that she's voting against him because he's too hawkish at a time when we need more diplomacy. okay, he only traveled to north korea over easter weekend and laid the groundwork for president trump's upcoming negotiations with the communist regime. tha

shaheen: hello, i am jeanne shaheen, senator from new hampshire. i have worked across the aisle to get things done for everyday americans and their families. people have no higher priority than securing access to affordable health care. that is a big reason why the democrats in congress thought to pass the affordable care act. nearly 23 million americans have gained health coverage takes to this law, and we have cut to the uninsured percentage of the population by almost half. people with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage or caused -- charged skyhigh premiums. is a critical tool in our fight against the opioid epidemic. millions of people with substance abuse disorders in new hampshire and other states hit hard by this crisis have been able to get lifesaving treatment for the first time. but all of these games are now at risk. republicans in congress have tried repeatedly to repeal the affordable care act. they failed, but they found other ways to weaken it and sabotage the law. president trump has repeatedly found confusion
