privacy and data security practice group, and called a trailblazer in cybersecurity law by the national journal. give us the roundup, the hearing not ending on a high note with lawmakers saying we asked you a lot of questions that you just didn't answer. >> part of that was just due to the nature of the way the hearing was designed. we got about an hour questions from the european lawmakers before zuckerberg even had a chance to respond, and then when he did respond, he spoke for about 26 minutes, and he was able to just go in in order that he preferred, based on his notes. you ask a lot of questions about content, about this and that, and kind of respond with the stuff that facebook has been saying recently, and maybe not so much digging into the most interesting questions, the ones about facebook's increasing power in the world, and the ones about how exactly they will protect people from new issues with regard to data privacy that have come up as a result of our examinations of facebook over the last few months. emily: there were a couple of questions that he pivoted on and dodged when it ca

my next guest writing in the "national journal" the odds of democrats taking back the house have nevern higher with the party badly exposed in numerous suburban districts gravitating away from trump's brand of unpredictable populism in the swing districts. the republican brand has been fundamentally damaged for the long time. joining me is josh kraushaar. i think that will come as a surprise to many republicans, josh. over the past two weeks they have been feeling better about their prospects. are you saying based on what you are seeing out there, you think republicans will lose the house in november? >> i'm not saying they will but it's more likely. i don't think a lot has changed in terms of the battle for the house. the reality is most of the battlegrounds in the house are affluent suburban districts and trump's job approval in these districts are poor. i don't think there are a lot of split ticket voters. i don't think there are people who don't like trump and past a republican vote for the congressional ballot. in the house there is so much exposure in the anti-trumps parts of the

former advisor to bill clinton doug shown in politics editor of the national journal, great to have you with us tonight. let's start with worries democrats have that there are some primaries that show they are going more progressive in some areas, surprised to see that in kentucky and one of the races. congressman cleaver is quoted as saying this. the democrats are focusing so much on trump and the carnival around him that we don't spend enough time talking about who we are and what we will do if voters give us a chance in the majority. >> i couldn't agree more with congressman cleaver who is in the past is been a client of mine. this is an issue of unity. i wrote in a piece on foxnews.com the democrats are facing civil war between the progressives and the moderates. it is also a battle between the outsiders and the insiders and there is no message, no strategy and the polling is showing close to a dead heat on the generic vote. what congressman cleaver said is exactly right. >> the democrats be panicking or is it baked into the case, there will be roller coaster rides between now and n

joining me now is the politics editor at the national journal. i want your take on that. hoever is in power is the thing to do. we will talk about nancy pelosi in a moment. i wonder about the mitch mcconnell piece. if you are supportive of the president agenda on the economy and confirmations, especially with judges, mitch mcconnell has actually been quite instrumental to help support president trump's agenda on that. >> yeah. one of the big questions in this primary is what does it mean to be a republican in the trump era? it was notable that none of the republicans running for the senate in west virginia said they would endorse mitch mcconnell as the majority leader. jenkins and morrisey kind of caveated their responses and said they could support him later on. but it tells you that trump is the leader of the republican party and all three canaled dates were trying to -- three candidates trying to be closer to trump than mcconnell. >> dana: you have to wonder if president trump would come out and be supportive of mitch mcconnell. but then again if this is what is importa

with me now is josh, a politics editor at the national journal. you say this is timely. you were at a town hall yesterday where it was not just drug prices but healthcare was the number one question. >> healthcare is one of the issues that the democrats are planning to run on. i think it's a big reason why you saw president trump at this event really trying to get ahead of it and show he is concerned about the rising costs of prescription drugs. republicans could always run on obamacare before trump got elected and it was one of the time-tested political arguments. but now republicans are in charge. they own responsibility for the healthcare system. a lot of republicans, particularly those in swing districts with concern that the rising cost of drugs and insurance costs and the other things that are happening in the system could play against them in the mid-term elections. >> dana: something like what the president talking about today, which might not have immediate effect but showing that he is trying, trying to do something. will it help the republicans? is it enough to

news contributor, former advisor to president bill clinton doug schoen and politics editor of the national journal, josh kraushaar. let's start with some worries the democrats have that there are some primaries that show they are going a little bit more progressive in some areas. some are surprised to do that in kentucky last night in one of the races. congressman emanuel cleaver is quoted as saying "the democrats are focusing so much on trump and the carnival that is around him that we don't spend enough time talking about who we are and what we will do if the voters give us a chance and the majority." doug. >> i couldn't agree more. congressman cleaver has been a client of mine. this is an issue of unity. i wrote in a piece on foxnews.com that the democrats are facing civil war between their progressives and the moderates. it's also a battle between the outsiders and the insiders, and there is no message. there is no strategy. in the polling now showing close to a dead heat on the generic mode. what congressman cleaver said is exactly right. >> shannon: josh, what do you think? should democrats

the national journal is with me now. good morning to you. how do you score the race right now as you look at it from your perspective? >> this is as close a race as we've seen in any primary. this debate tonight will be high stakes as it gets in politics. what you just mentioned undecided is in second place. there are a lot of voters in west virginia that are just starting to tune into this primary, just beginning to make up their minds. so it's really between jenkins the congressman who has a slight advantage and the attorney general patrick morrissey. but the key event tonight will swing a lot of votes. the states couldn't be higher for these candidates. >> bill: examine this. we see now go ahead and flip it one more time. on the issues right now that we see in west virginia opioids is the number one followed by the economy and down the line immigration and healthcare. if you look at this and think about how that state has gone so far in the republican category and so much in favor of president trump, what is happening in west virginia stat

a contributor for the national law journal is joining us now. he is in chicago. hink the motive is politics, control of congress and not appropriate legal standards? >> well, you know, eric, at first blush this argument that it is about politics would make sense if the house republicans were waging this fight against the democrats, then politics may be at play. but they are actually fighting against the department of justice, which is led by trump appointees, they are fighting against the fbi led by trump appointees fighting against recommendations by the cia led by trump appointees and president trump himself has weighed in and said fbi and cia sources should be protected and should not necessarily be turned over to congress if lives may be in danger which is the case here. so the concept that this is about politics when the battle is between republicans and republicans, doesn't hold water. eric: you make a point about lives in danger. that's exactly one of the reasons, the doj is saying it is not turning over this information. let me read a part of the letter fr
