green party adam davis who's running for congress and utah's first district adams first of all thanks for being here and let me ask you why you decided to get into politics at this time and why with the green party. political involvement is more important than ever we've seen with the rise of donald trump we've seen a lot of people respond by getting more involved you see a lot of a lot of concern about some of the policies that are that are being implemented and in politics only works when where or when people are a part of it and so that's why i think it's absolutely was absolutely critical for me and i think it's critical for others to get involved as well why the green party and not the democrats say if you really want to oppose the policies of president trump well because i've been able to watch the democrats consistently fail to live up to the values that they say they do that's why i'm in the green party in the first place i grew up as a young person as as a democrat and i came to the green party really because i saw i saw those those failures i saw democrats consistently sayin

so perhaps president trump simply wanted to elevate mike lee's standing back home in utah. but john harwood, we have an nbc news poll showing that 61% want roe versus wade to be upheld, only 31% want it to be overturned. and that would seem to indicate that that's where the democrats should be putting the pressure as this confirmation process unfolds. >> right. and you know, all of these nominees as neera indicated are people who ideologically are at odds with the majority of the american people. that's why i think the stakes for the individual candidates are big. the stakes for different factions of the conservative movement, mitch mcconnell's got a candidate, bill bennett's got a candidate. there are various ones and each faction will fly speck the records of the others. but for the rest of the country, people outside that group, these choices are all pretty much the same. they have been selected for their fealty to conservative judicial positions and one bedrock, the bedrock, conservative judicial positions is that roe v. wade was wrongly decided. is it possible that one

after all, utah should be a safe seat. but we heard that about doug jones as well. >> let me ask you, phillip, about amy coney barrett. there are a lot of republicans who are energized about the idea of a conservative woman being the fifth conservative justice on a supreme court that has to deal with a lot of issues that conservatives hold very close to the heart. she is -- i think it's fair to say she has expressed a certain hostility toward roe v. wade. while the president says he's not going to ask the candidates about these things, he doesn't have to. the federalist society, the heritage foundation, and the sitting senators will know about this indeed. how does she fit into this? >> she's an outspoken catholic, a devout member of that faith. some of the biggest fireworks at her confirmation hearing for the federal court were there her civil life and her faith and the president sees this as a potential wedge issue, not just for catholics but all people of faith, that perhaps hostility towards organized christianity coul
