back to Fox top story now the battle over president Trump's US Supreme Court
nominee progressive groups already launching a multi-million dollar
campaign to warn senators of the consequences of siding with the
president and his choice the head of an abortion rights group telling reporters
quote this will be a 50-state campaign our members are fired up our phones are
ringing off the hook and we are all ready to fight this fight but
conservative groups are also spending big on campaigns telling red state
Democrats senators they'll pay for opposing a Trump nominee let's bring in
the power panel Shelby Holiday Wall Street Journal's
senior video reporter Tiffany Kraus co-founder and managing editor of the
beat DC well Democrats are fired up will it backfire I don't know it will
backfire I mean really Democrats don't have any leverage here I mean that's the
end of the day I think you call to anybody to tell them that well I think
they're gonna try what they can because whatever they're spending I mean it's
not enough I do I think it is you know we champion this America first and you
know how great our country is we don't want to see the Republicans have control
over everything I look you know I'm very left hairiest you know that but I've
always championed a healthy exchange of ideas and ideology and I think when you
have this administration have the Congress yeah they have the Senate the
house and the Supreme Court I don't think that's dangerous so how is that
different than leading up to a presidential election under Barack Obama
how is that different than wanting to choose who the Democrats wanted and they
had at one point both chambers of Congress as well well I mean that's a
great question to ask and I also think to your point about them having no
leverage this massive amount of money that will be spent in all 50 states the
question is how much how much could it possibly do because right now Democrats
don't even have the 50 votes to block President Trump and his pick and what
they'll also have to do is get some Republicans on board that's really
unclear if they could do that as well at this point and I think there's so much
speculation right now but but president Trump's moving quickly he wants to have
his pick announce next week have some hearings in August have it all walked
out before the midterms but the big question here is
will this carry over into the midterms the Democrats want that to be an issue
it might just be a done deal by so we learned earlier this this hour from the
weekly standards guest who was with me senior writer John McCormack said what's
interesting about Susan Collins for Republicans is that well she probably
will vote for the nominee she just wants to know that they wouldn't actively work
against Roe versus Wade but she doesn't believe other members who were
conservative on the court would overturn Roe vs. Wade so it's kind
of a semantics of argument right now well I think it's really important for
people to realize that the Supreme Court is just not just about roe v-- wade I
mean there are a lot of policy issues that impact your life that call and
before this court and to make that the whole you see working up because I
different her hats have not been where you are right now this is this is a
broader thought on the issue I think there are some Democrats who've been
there but the people with the you know loudest bully pulpit get the microphone
and the most attention I think people have to realize this is a broader issue
I mean you're gonna have issues like affirmative action which white women
have benefited overwhelmingly from that could land back before this court the
Voting Rights Acts and I'm sure know you know patriotic Americans want to
disenfranchise people from voting so those are all super important issues and
I do think I'm not sure that it's just to your point I agree that the
Republicans do play a role and I think it's not just Susan Collins but I think
you've got Lisa Murkowski out there as well who could also influence this pick
I'm not sure they will I think you know Republicans do a better job of falling
in line with the party then Democrats do perhaps but I don't know that the fight
is so you know it's interesting when you talk about women benefiting from
affirmative action a lot of people don't talk about that I know you drew it along
the lines of race but it's diversity in general too you might even argue the
LGBT community as well real quickly before we head into break so you've got
a couple of Republicans but you've got Democrats in ten states for president
Trump one better up for re-election and you also have Democrats who voted for
Neil Gorsuch so well some of those are the same areas but one great exactly and
the president's already reaching out to them and I think that's a really
powerful thing when he brings me to the White House talks on Santa Monica right
all right Donna they put it appears that abolishing ice is quickly becoming a
litmus test for Democrats lawmakers on the Left are calling for the elimination
of that customs agency but President Trump says that's only going to hurt
them in the midterm elections stay close hi everyone i'm dana perino we expect to
hear from President Trump during our hour and he says he's gonna focus on
choosing a Supreme Court nominee this week and will see if he gives us any
more clues about his shortlist Plus Democrats divided on Capitol Hill over
whether the party is shifting too far to the left and whether they should
continue calls to abolish ice will debate that and we are broadcasting live
from our new and improved studio studio J so join us top of the hour on the
daily briefing let's get into it on abolishing ice it apparently is becoming
a litmus test for Democrats after the stunning primary win by
Alexandria OKC El Cortez over a 10 term incumbent in New York's 14th
congressional district she and several other Democrats are calling for the end
or a revamp of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency that list
includes senators Kirsten Gillibrand Elizabeth Warren Kamala Harris all
possible 2020 candidates but President Trump is slamming their position saying
it will hurt them at the polls I hope they keep thinking about it because
they're going to get beaten so badly between Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi
and getting rid of ice and having open borders and the biggest thing you have
open borders all it's going to do is lead to massive massive crime that's
going to be their platform open borders which equals crime
I think they'll never win another election so I'm actually quite happy
about how our panel vac Shelby Holliday Tiffany cross Y is this catching fire on
the Democratic Party well first I just want to say I think
the president's premise is ridiculous you can certainly have the rule of law
in order in this country that doesn't mean open borders I haven't heard a
single Democrat call for open borders I think it's catching a fire in the
party because there are people have seen the evidence of what happens when you
have an agency run amuck and we've seen that with ice and it's not just
Democrats calling for the abolishment of ice you've had over 20 agents penned a
letter to secretary Nielsen calling for the abolishment and the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus is actually not calling for the abolishment of ice they
circulated a memo what their talking point saying that's not their position
Shelby neither is Bernie's Anders I mean this debate is making
Bernie Sanders look pretty moderate right now because he's not out there
saying get rid of it altogether I think first of all you have to look at some of
the people who are calling to abolish ice probably want to run for president
this might have something to do with a potential campaign but I think the
president is has a point that if you and I also think the president does a good
job baiting Democrats into taking these kind of stances because he moves right
on an issue they move left and you can turn around and say they want open
borders so it's a tricky dance and I think it'll be interesting to see how
Democrats handle that dance heading in almost is in Sydney ariaz abolish ice is
these two words Nancy Pelosi I mean your party seems to be divided along
generational lines I mean there's some real issues within the Democratic Party
right now yeah we're seeing a generational shift in the Democratic
Party and I think this is another issue because you know for some reason I do
think that people like Nancy Pelosi and even Chuck Schumer on some issues will
walk in the middle of the road because they think there's some house on a suede
look representative Maxine Waters called it even stronger than that I agree I
said they're only in it for that listen I agree and I was really disappointed
with the way they handled the Maxine water situation it took them two point
five seconds to shift from the hash tag trust black women to shutting maxine
waters down so I I don't agree with their stand points on that I think they
have to go hard or go home you know there are a lot of people
energized your base don't worry about trying to sway Trump supporters that's
not going to happen we've seen this as red meat for this base this is the very
thing the bay there run on so is there room now for the Republican Party I mean
are we gonna see some defections I'm looking at polling and how people are
potentially walking away from the party we don't know where they're gonna go yet
right but it's going so far left that's the question and also I'm not sure that
I'm not sure that it's wise of Democrats to totally about abandon the middle and
move left because when you look at some of the races that we've seen special
elections Georgia is a great example the Democrats who run a moderate campaign
and who are fiscally conservative but are okay countering Trump on certain
issues they got some of the Republicans who are uncomfortable with Trump that
seems like it would be a good model in the midterms yet we don't see any
candidates doing that everyone moving to the left
Alexandria okay zo Cortez just really quickly she picks up on this issue
what is so fiery about the ball that she's carrying forward is it the
generational is it diversity what is it that Democrats feel like they are
lacking I think it's both again I do think I understand your point about the
middle but I think sometimes Democrats can come across like they think they're
going to magically slay the Trump supporters which they're not I think
when you saw the upset that happened in New York it's everything you said its
diversity she's young she was a candidate you have to respect the hustle
she went door knocking she didn't take her constituency for granted and she
represents the next generation and a lot of people who are on the younger side
don't feel heard by the Democrats and they do feel like the leadership doesn't
represent them and they they would like to see more fire from some of this
leadership on the average so how do you change it because Joe Crowley had been
around for ten terms and Hillary Clinton had that inevitability I mean that seems
to be the point though it's that Democrats kind of go forth with
inevitability perhaps but I think you have to change if I'm making room I do
think it's time for new leadership on Capitol Hill you have to make room for
the next generation and this is not a new fight I mean if you were called
during the Obama election there was a big debate there he said that voters
wanted to move car smell and he wasn't sure if Hillary Clinton had it I'm not
even making that up last word it'll just be a fascinating
midterm debate to watch we were talking about how quickly the news changes and
we wave-wave but I I it's impossible to know the news and the sentiments to
predict the blue wave I do I think people are tired of seeing some of the
same rhetoric we've seen out of this administration we haven't seen it yet so
I don't know all right thank you ladies we'll be right back
