and then mike lee on the republican side, sing to you, it all down and make sense of it. let's go down to fox news at night anchor, shannon bream, who has more now from capitol hill. this was an interesting moment. >> a lot of people say that there are a lot of questions, it is kind of dull. this week has been anything but. this morning, that was also the case. if there is a lot to unpack there. we heard from senator booker this morning about the fact that he felt he should release these documents that had been marked committee confidential. that includes the senator, who will share what he said. >> there is a right in my view on the part of every member in this committee to release documents that she or he believes are appropriate. >> senator mike lee said listen, going over to senator booker, he said i'm going to help you work with staff to get these documents released. they shook hands, it was a very bipartisan moment. he said less of the grandstanding. here's what he said. >> an accommodation with the senate, allowing us to gain access to other documents for which we

so that senators -- >> you can see the republican senator mike lee or senator lee rather from utah addressing brett kavanaugh at this time. senators on the influential judicial committee are making those opening statements with those senators expect to actually begin questioning judge cavanaugh and ernest tomorrow. a vote on the nominee possible as early as later this month. the nominee is expected to offer his opening statement today as well at some point in time. the chair of the committee is now estimated some statements from judge cavanaugh could come as late as 230 east coast time due to all the delays from this morning. senate democrats saying that they are participating in the process under protest. after the president said the white house would be withholding more than one -- 1000 pages of the record. senate republicans have been having a difficult time voicing their support for judge cavanaugh because of all of those protests. >> here are the facts. judge cavanaugh is one of the most distinguished judges in the entire country. he has served for over 12 years now on the u.s. court of

. >> at the end coming to the defense of kavanaugh is republican senator mike lee.o you make of that? >> well, it was peculiar and frankly i was sympathetic to what mike lee was saying at the end there. if kamala harris had a specific conversation that she was referring to that she wanted to ask him about, it seemed to me she should have asked did you speak to john doe from the kasowitz law firm? or jane doe or more than one person. but just to ask generally did you speak to someone, it's a fairly large law firm, there are a couple hundred lawyers there. i just -- i found it puzzling. now in fairness, this hearing is not over and kamm l.ala harris the opportunity to ask more questions in another round but the questions themselves i don't think proved anything and i thought were somewhat unfair to brett kavanaugh. >> were they unfair? >> i think it was one of the only moments in this long hearing that seemed to throw him off balance and watching it is a reminder that she is someone who makes an impact and is kind of visible in a crowd and it's something to keep in mi

with me is mike lee and "wall street journal" editorial page assistant editor james freeman. mike, i want to start with you about the tariffs. the market does not seem to be reacting. this is not in the grand scheme of things, if you are a farmer having to have a $12 billion government bail-out or you work for a newspaper in tampa bay where you are being laid off, i'm not diminishing that, but talking about the trillions of dollars you are bringing into the country, you are only talking about $200 billion, less than 10%. is the market not reacting to this because they think there won't be an escalation and because the numbers in the grand scheme of things are small? >> yeah, i think you just hit the nail on the head there. this is a much bigger deal for china than it is for the u.s. we are an 800 pound gorilla in terms of trade due to our trade deficit, so we have the ability to push people around whan and we are trying to do here is not punish our trading partners. it's to get them to open up their markets. if china would do a better job on opening up their markets and reduci

i talked to senator mike lee just yesterday. he's a member of the senate judiciary, a lawyer.he's the son of a u.s. solicitor general. former supreme court clerk to justice alito. he said these hearings might not be necessary. that we didn't always do them. then maybe the public isn't getting much out of them. what do you make of that? >> i think that's, that's probably not going to happen. you can't having somebody work now for the supreme court of the yit. this kind of change has been going on. nominees have been b appearing regularly since the 1950s. and you can't really break with that. i'm not sure this one produced anything revealatory, but there will come time when the president is of one party and the senate is of another and where there has to be some sort of an oi come documentation. i think that's probably what president obama was hoping for when he nominated merit garland, who was the nominee, the democratic nominee republicans had been asking for for year, but it didn't work out that way. >> quickly before we have to go, i think we can agree the likelihood of kava

. >> senator mike lee is exactly right. democrats not only could have gone to the fbi six weeks ago confidentially with this information. they should have gone to the fbi. i think republicans would have welcomed that and done all that was in their power to help, but, of course, they held these allegations until the last-minute. somebody among the democrats leaked them to the media and now we got the circus that we saw just yesterday and it's going to continue for a week, if not more, because we know democrats aren't really interested in getting to bottom of what happened here. they're interested in slow walking and blocking this nomination which is heart breaking for judge kavanaugh. liz: we're going to cut to the floor of the senate. we've got senator jeff flake about to speak on the floor of the senate judiciary panel about what is going on in his latest request to get an fbi probe lasting just one week. let's get to the senate floor. watch. forgive me, we're going to get to that in just a second. get to the business head

but who would it be, mike lee? i'm trying to think who could get done fast? >> the precedent as you mentioned there stops with the nomination of robert borke. and it was the defeat of the borke nominations that really set us on the course we are today where these confirmations are so politicized. what's striking to me is the support has remained basically level. it's the disproval that's spiked. and it's democrats and independents turning against him. >> and importantly they never had him. they didn't sell him, though, strong enough for now. >> for now, and i think the hearings played into it as well. what we see is this pattern of politicization, right? it's not just the supreme court, the nfl, not just the emmy awards. now it's not just sexual assault allegations or even that. >> i think given the precedent, because given the way it went down when president obama had his supreme court nominee in the way republicans played that game, that democrats were going to do everything they can, even if they were to try to jam something through to try to stop it -- >>

mike lee posed the question, what is your favorite of "the federalist" papers? >> we all have them. 51 is mine by far. chris wallace, brit hume are here, amy stoddard and others in new york. chris, your thoughts on how this has gone. and not as contention as what we thought in some of the democratic questions. >> to be honest, it's been a bit of a snore. part of that is because i guessed that we as reporters like conflict and we kind of thought that maybe the democrats weren't going to be able to blow up the nomination but they would scuff off brett kavanaugh. they really haven't done much of a job. part of that is brett kavanaugh. he's a very able witness. sometimes i think he's answered in a scholarly fashion, sometimes i think he's kind of muddied an issue up and complicated it enough that it loses its edge. i would have to say i was a little surprised, particularly by sheldon whitehouse who in the initial burst was talking about yesterday morning, talking about the outrage of this hearing and sounded very aggressive. went down a lot of rabbit holes that i co

now i want to know if we are going to hear from ted cruz, mike lee, as everyone else going to feel unleashednd ready to jump in? >> bret: how about john kennedy from louisiana? he is a sound bite machine. >> another interesting moment, cory booker and his opening statement, judge kavanaugh talked about one member of this committee called me evil. that was cory booker of new jersey. that is one i am looking forward to watching the two of them go at it. i will say i picked up on what john roberts said. he has made his point. he has certainly shown righteous a new -- righteous indignationa man who's been unfairly and unjustly accused of something terrible. may be a need to dial it back. i am not saying he needs to play rope a dope, but he made his point. >> saint to senator klobuchar, i'm thankful for the time we spent in your office. very respectful. i wonder if that's going through his head in terms of how he wants to approach the finish as he gets into, i don't know, another hour at least. >> i think that would be smart because think about the accusations, not just dr. ford, but the others t

the questioning back to the republican side, senator mike lee. >> different perspectives on certain issues. but they are all, i think we are fortunate to have eight hard-worki hard-working justices who have outstanding records, are committed to the constitution and committed to the independence of the judiciary. >> what about in the circuit court, the d.c. circuit where you have served? would it be fair to suggest that a case is somehow leslie legitimate. ly decided if that case were decided along the lines of which president appointed which member of the d.c. circuit? >> the precedent stands either way. >> thank you. i want to get back to a separation of powers point that has come up along various lines of questions asked by my colleagues today. is the constitution relegated to the judicial branch? is it something that is to be upheld and interpreted only by those who wear black robes? >> no, senator. let me take you through the process. so congress, of course, passes laws, and in considering laws congress will also often assess the possible constitutionality of the laws passed. so in the

there was kind of an endearing nerd fest between mike lee of utah, someone who knows a lot of constitutional law, and judge kavanaugh about what their favorite federalist paper was, which i think is actually ratings magic for cnn. >> we all want to talk about that. >> senator lee actually compared choosing among the federalist papers to choosing between your children. >> he did, he did. >> i got to give him a nod for that. >> you've been covering the supreme court for a long time. how's he doing? >> he's still staying on message with his talking points. very disciplined. it's starting to get a little rougher with some of the other democra democrats on the committee, in addition to sheldon whitehouse. senator durbin really pressed him on his dissent in the abortion case. that's obviously topic "a" with these. i think senator klobuchar and harris and booker coming down the line, we're going to see a little bit more give and take. but he was also asked about the role of the federalist society in choosing him for this and sort of said, you know, the president chose me. i've said president trump

steve: exactly, the night before mike lee went over and talked to mr.and they worked it out. it was released. it was crazy thinking what is he talking about where he is going to put his reputation, his career on the line. the stuff that -- maybe he didn't know? we don't know exactly. all we know is senator orrin hatch has one of the funniest twitters on capitol hill and he has been there for years. he tweeted out yesterday, you know, i knew spartan can you say. >> corey peculiarer went out last night even more committee confidential documents if that was one which it doesn't seem to be. so he is daring people to him out of the senate and they wouldn't do it anyway. what he is really doing is saying vote for me in 20206789 we know he fund raised off day one. now we are in day four, 13 hours yesterday, 24 hours overall. we can only imagine what today will be. >> the committee said nothing he released was marked committee confidential at the time and to your point, you said the documents that he was releasing dealt with racial profiling after 9/11. well, i

we ask senate judiciary committee member mike lee who is interviewed for this position.performed phenomenally well as he has throughout the week. someone born from this position, he is going to be confirmed, not without opposition from democrats in the senate, and -- >> some problems, where is the paperwork. they don't have all of it. why don't they have all of it? >> far more paperwork than has ever been produced in connection with any supreme court nominee in history. when they say all of it, anywhere from one, to 10 million pages of material that would have been processed from the office of the white house secretary when brett kavanaugh was hearing that position. he served in that position prior to his earlier confirmation for the court of appeals of the dc circuit, they didn't need it or demand it then, no reason they need it now. for the same reason it withheld documents that went through the solicitor general's office when alana kagan was nominated to this position, it is privileged and not relevant. >> they are talking about the president, looking past him. can yo

senator mike lee of utah said after yesterday's statement, i believe dr. ford was a victim of a crime. do i not believe judge brett kavanaugh committed it and there is no corroborating evidence to suggest that he did. >>> california senator -- a democrat on the senate judiciary committee tweeted sport for ford. she said that ford is not on trial. she is sitting here because she has the courage to come forward and because it was her civic duty. i believe her. >> there is a quilt hanging up at her college to show support for people that are victims of sexual assault. them were encouraged to add to the quilt by writing down their messages. they said they were inspired to watch professor christine blasey ford testify about her experience. >> i thought that i would add a little sentiment that just said we believe survivors because we, as a community, are only as the survivors that we support. >> students said they wanted to convey to the survivors, they don't need to go through the recovery process alone. >>> the group concerned women for america are throwing t

yet dating back to 2017, senator mike lee and i had already called on department of homeland security which includes tsa and cpb to implement formal rules to address important concerns with bio metric technology at u.s. airports. number one, americans need to be able to opt out of facial recognition. number two, we need to ensure the security of traveler data. number three, we need to prevent any racial bias in the technology. those are the concerns that senator lee and i have. in response to our letter, dhs promised to not expand the program until it completed a formal rulemaking to put privacy rules on the books. yet, dhs continues to expand the program. i know how problematic facial recognition can be. the aclu recently used amazon's facial recognition software to see of the 535 members of congress who matched with a criminal database. did, 28 of ousus including me, carson john lewis, and 26 others. there are problems here. you commit tocan completing a formal rulemaking to address these issues before expanding tsa's use of biometric technology? mr. peskoke:. senator, we are simply
