liz: we did it wo the mob here as peter king said. >> yes. liz: chuck schumer says he and other democrats will block judge neil gorsuch for the supreme court in a filibuster. can any judge nominated by a democrat survive a filibuster? >> the answer is no. this is a stupid thing in my view by the democrats, neil gorsuch is an exemely good, qualified candidate. nothing that came out in these hearings would prove him to be otherwise. the "new york times" did a hit job on him early in the week, talking about how he is close to a secretive billionaire in colorado. he's not secretive, he's simply private. there's a difference, and nothing particularly nefarious about anches and his relationship with neil gorsuch. they got him on nothing. what they're going to do is trigger efforts by the gop, which they can do to get rid of the filibuster on supreme court nominations and the next time they have a vacancy, they're going to rue the day they do that. liz: they will do that. >> i'm pretty sure. liz: devin nunes delivering the bombshell saying president

nunes said yesterday and about that, bill o'reilly and peter king had the following to say last night. >> would i be wrong in saying that the obama administration surveiled the trump transition team? >> i would say, from all i know you're at least 99 1/2% accurate. and probably 100%. david: so, julie, then you had bob woodward, the famous journalist from "the washington post," the guy who broke watergate, speaking on o'reilly. here is what he said about the substance of the charge. listen. >> you've got a real serious problem potentially of people in the obama administration passing around this highly-classified gossip. david: julie, aren't you concerned about the possibility that this happened? >> well, here's what happened. the fbi and doj, the british, justice department, again under this president, said that obama did not wiretap donald trump the wadonald trump contends. this is li what happened. there was probably a fisa warrant issued by a judge, not by barack obama or his administration, by a judge to intercept communications between somebody close to donald trump and a foreign

him to step aside and amounting to partisan politics and republicans on the committee including peter king of new york told me earlier today now this all coming afternoon ynunez briefed the white house. surveillance he learned from a secret source on white house grounds about communication with trump officials and that were picked up in intelligence reports and also his decision to abruptly cancel tuesday's public hearing that was supposed to happen today and also committee and because of this canceling all other private briefings going on today. raising real questions about whether it committee can go forward. now when i asked nunez, will you listen to democratic calls to recuse yourself, he said he would not. >> but are you going to stay, is chairman going to run this investigation? >> why would i not? you guys need to ask them why these things are being said. >> does this investigation continue with you as chairman? >> why would i not? aren't i briefing you guys continuously and keeping you up to speed? >> they are saying it cannot run as -- >> you got to go talk to them. that sound lik

>> i agree with both congressman nunes's action and congressman peter king's defense of those actionsthe president's name was caught up in surveillance between a foreign agent and a u.s. citizen, the name was unmasked, it appears to have no intelligence value, the person appears not to have been committing a crime which is the only reason why the person's name would be revealed and disseminated around government. if the president's name is caught up if it's unveiled, the president of the united states deserves to know what is going on in the intelligence community and that his name was caught up on it. so i entirely agree with nunes's decision to reveal that information to the president. >> how do you know for sure that whoever's name was unmasked did nothing wrong? >> i don't know that and congressman nunes wants to know what wrong doing their committing, it doesn't appear from the conversations any crime was being committed. give him answers as to what crime was submitted. he deserves answers, there might be an explanation for it. but we don't know at this point, but congressman nun

peter king fox this morning and say be it was intercept of foreigner to foreigner talking about theirversations with people in the trump administration. this is not apparently collection of people that have been listening to a foreign intelligence target talking to trump officials, it's two foreign targets talking to each other. this doesn't back up what donald trump says. this information was then disseminated, obama administration took, this unmasked the names of americans, if you're an american and your name is mentioned in a foreign intercept it's supposed to be minimized. officials can ask now that information that name to be revealed. but then they disseminated it widely, lowered the classification level. >> some politicians on that list. >> with the goal of getting it to leak. >> are you working off the premise that he, nunes, as he said, he had an obligation to take this directly to the white house to the president? i know gillian is going to disagree. is that where are you? >> i think that he should have told the democrats on the committee, done three things at once. told dem

i also spoke with congressman peter king, a member of the intelligence committee, he said he thinks that this is not anything that anyone should be worried about. he used the same analogy that trey gowdy said, it doesn't matter if it was the white house or the house of pancakes, it's not relevant to whether or not dev vi devin nunez is able to conduct a fair and balanced investigation separate from the white house's interests. democrats disagree. here's a member of the committee on "morning joe" earlier today. >> this was done because the white house wanted it to be done and this is what a coverup to a crime looks like. we are watching it play out right now. >> so clearly you have had democrat after democrat come out call on devin nunez to recuse himself, but at this point, it's not clear exactly how he will continue as chairman or if he will continue to have the credibility of his colleagues to the point that pressure might increase enough for him to step aside or recuse himself. the house speaker paul ryan is the one that would have to make that decision or if he made that request. the

side who seem to represent regular districts, not hot right red hot republican districts, you and peter kingatrick. there's not a lot of you but they seem to have the same question. is that because off lot of democrats in your district? you're not some utah sflaeb how can you explain the fact you guy are off and they're on? >> i think chris one of the issues is i'm a republican that represents an urban area. we care for a lot of people who are poorer, working poor families who depend on government subsidized health r care. i also have a lot of people who have paid astronomical premiums, $20,000, have a $6,000 deductible and don't go to the doctor because they can't afford co-pays or deductible so there's a gamut of people who aren't being helped by the proposal now in urban areas and i guess my colleagues -- i haven't spoke to them, but i guess my colleagues have some of the same issues. >> when you look at a person who has a problem, like i have diabetes, type two, better than the other one. do you sit down and say, well, this kind of person, this kind of person. can you do it that way. who

i talked to peter king yesterday. i talked to jason cha vets yesterday.on was one of the ones who early in the day said that sessions should recuse himself but he also was saying the intel committee is looking at this stuff. and then the house oversight committee is, as well. they're not worried about anything. i actually really do believe that there's no there there. i think that's how most people who are close to it and following it are. i think there's a hell of a lot of politics involved in it. i think the interesting things to me is while the democrats are scrambling about russia, i think they want a mulligan because for eight years, russia wasn't relevant for them except to have a reset. while they're doing that, republicans are moving ahead with health care reform, moving ahead with education choice. moving ahead with tax reform, moving ahead reaching out to unions and things like that. the democrats are taking their eye off the ball one more time on what's relevant to the american people. >> what i said before in the last hour, two things donald t
