senator josh hawley has been on this topic more than anyone else in the u.s. senate, he joins us tonight. what did we learn today? >> we learned that the tech companies are going to keep doing this, they're going to keep censoring conservatives and keep putting the thumb on the scale for the biden campaign as long as congress lets them. they think they can get away with it, they are totally unrepentant. congress needs to take action. i'm glad we are talking about it, that's fine. the time for tocqueville he has passed, it's time for congress to legislate, take away the special immunity that these tech companies get for this censorship. >> tucker: this is not relevant but when you interview these people, do you ever think maybe it's bad for kids to become billionaires? maybe it does something bad to you? is it healthy to live in a society were a tiny group of completely out of touch crazy people havee power over the rest of us can say? >> if you want to know what it's like to live in an aristocracy, open your eyes -- this is at. one, tiny group of what jack

hawley. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: it was a real simple question although it was not asked by the moderator because the moderator asked a question about the supreme court but it was about abortion. mike pension redirected it to the question everybody want the toe know about biden harris work to pack the court? it's a yes or no answer. why didn't she answer? >> yeah, because they are going to pack the court. i mean, here's what i took away from the debate. they are going to absolutely pack the court. they are going to pack the senate to add more votes to give democrats a majority that will be permanent. they are going to try to rig american democracy just like they rigged the american economy for the globalists for the wealthy, for the insiders, that's the obama-biden legacy. that's exactly what biden and harris want to go back. to say kamala harris wouldn't say they would stand up to china either. same agenda. these are the people who sent all those jobs away to china who

here to respond to senator josh hawley. sits on the senate judiciary committee but was in the room while your colleague senator harris says that amy coney barrett will be an affront to the principle of equal justice under the law. your response tonight. >> you know, first of all, in terms of sounding scared, i thought senator harris sounded scared and i can see why. amy coney barrett is one tough customer. she sat in there in that chair for 12 hours to different days, answered every question. there's a reason senator harris didn't want to show up in person. she didn't want to go toe-to-toe with judge barrett because it's clear who came out on top so the democrats, the democrats don't know what to do with this strong, independent woman of faith who is unabashedly pro-life and not backing down from her convictions. she carried the day the last two days. the only thing that is an affront is the democrats. they are an affront to this whole constitutional process. they tried to make a mockery of it. they lost. >> laura: senator

and republicans are jumping on that moment on twitter as well, we mentioned josh hawley, this is the senator from missouri saying what we learned from tonight's presidential debate, biden is going to end usa energy independence and destroy remaining blue-collar jobs so that we can go back to being dependent on foreign oil and embroiled in endless wars. great plan. but i'm sure the bidens will find a way to make money out of it. and this from senator john barrasso saying, joe biden just admitted that he would end the oil industry which would kill good jobs and the u.s. energy independence and hike your utility bills. our families will not forget, calling it a big mistake, and then scott wong of the washington post pointing out that vulnerable democrats are already breaking from biden on his oil industry comments, pointing to this one in particular from kendra horn, a democrat from oklahoma, who says this is one of the places that biden and i disagree, we must stand up for our oil and gas industry, we need in all of the above energy approach which is consumer friendly, and protects okl

our next guest is senator josh hawley of missouri. grew up in rural missouri, ran away to stanford, yale, came back, was missouri attorney general. now is the youngest member of the united states senate. already made a name for himself, senator hawley, welcome to axios. sen. hawley: thank you for having me. mr. allen: you on the judiciary committee, he will be at the center of the fight for the confirmation of judge amy coney barrett, but you have a much more personal view of the court than everyone else that is going to be there. you were a law clerk to chief justice roberts. sen. hawley: i did work in the building. it was one of my first jobs out of law school. i met my wife doing that. it was a good year for me. we got married after our year of working together on the court. i have gotten to see that court up close and personal. i have gotten to liquid -- to litigate. i am a member of the bar, so it is a place i know relatively well. mr. allen: how was the chief justice a boss? sen. hawley: very good boss. he runs his chambers with

i think josh hawley has this right. so why are they lying about something so obvious? because overturning roe v. wade is deeply unpopular. 66% support keeping the ruling in place. two-thirds of americans don't agree on anything. the republicans know that, though. they know they are on the wrong side of public opinion on this absolutely vital issue, and they also know they are losing this election right now. senator joni ernst is fighting for her political life. she's not the only senate republican in some very serious trouble. we will talk about just how bad it looks for them next. lliam fel in love with rose and they had a kid. his name was charles and charles met martha... isn't she pretty? yeah. they do one of the most deven in normal times.s, our frontline health care workers. and when these heroes lack the resources they need, that risky job gets ten times harder. prop fifteen makes corporations pay their fair share. to invest in our communities, in our clinics, in the essential workers who treat everyone- rich, poor, and in-between. whether it's this pandemic or

senator josh hawley has been one of the very few leaders in the republican party who has stood strong against the abuses of big tech. will this do anything to stop the censorship and the creeping power people are already too powerful? senator hawley joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. how do you assess this antitrust suit? >> it's a very big antitrust suit. this is the biggest antitrust case and a center to generation, maybe in a century. i have to say reading that case this morning, reading the case title, united states versus google, it may be want to say god bless america. that's got to be the most patriotic words that have been written down in a long time, united states versus google. i hope we will see united states versus facebook really soon. what's at stake here is our democracy and who controls it. is it going to be citizens, voters, or is it going to be big tech? and as we've seen in the last few days, tech wants to run the elections, they want to run this democracy. they are trying to buy joe biden with all the money that they've spent on the biden campaign. thi

. >> also worth noting, we learned this evening that senators josh hawley of missouri and druted c of texas have both announced they have tested negative for covid-19. josh hawley attended that white house event for judge barrett and did not wear a mask for much of it. he was seen sitting next to senator lee, who tested positive. and ted cruz said that he is remaining home out of an abundance of caution. but both of them say that they have tested negative. i guess, michael, the fact that they say they tested negative is kind of part of the problem. like, i, personally, find it very hard to believe that all of those career doctors, including military medical officials at walter reed would risk their entire credibility to lie on behalf of the president. i find that hard to believe in at least 99 cases out of 100, but what is your sense of how we can get the most reliable information about the health of all of the players involved here? >> look, ronny jackson, the president's former doctor, the former chief doctor at the white house said a lot of things when he was the president's doctor

hawley who called the debate itself outdated hasn't been changed in 60 years, it's just it's crazy just hold moderators don't interfere about the candidates actually debate this debate to become more and more and more. >>the panelists moderators and less and less about discussing any salute leadership in washington raquel martin along with the hopes that will be less chaotic is the question of how the president will use this last primetime opportunity to talk to voters after heenan host of inside bay area politics is here with reaction from a local republican official pass, yeah, ken and pam analysts argue the president really has not done a very good job of delivering a strong consistent message. >>and even though polls suggest there are only a handful of undecided voters out there at this point they say the president needs to use the second final debate to be very clear with his message a local republican party official i talked to has some advice. >>i think there are 2 things you should make clear to the american public. number one it's going to be on the defense but he's going to ha

i thought senator josh hawley coming up with that, saying you're an independent judge, i believed woman, you have i believed thoughts, i think we can stop saying she only thinks the same way as her mentor, who happened to be a man on the supreme court >> harris: yeah and the point you make is so important. because the individual that you have before you is the only one who is in that seat. and so to see them compare so much, it really stifles perhaps democrats ability to get to know this person before them, constantly comparing >>> yeah and i mean there of course is going to be some comparing. once she has discussed her independence and she has her own thought process about how they would handle these issues it tends to be a little bit disrespectful in not acknowledging that. the other thing that's interesting and we've talked about this over the past couple days is the role of the court and how republicans and dan sewell see it differently and what judges should and shouldn't do in interpreting the law and writing the law from the bench. you had senator amy klobuchar democrat saying rb

>>they choose to continue the theater missouri republican josh hawley calls baird's confirmation which gives conservatives a 6 to 3 majority on the court a victory the most openly pro-life candidate for the supreme court in my lifetime, the full senate will begin debate on there is confirmation starting friday with a final vote expected on monday in washington raquel martin. >>coming up in 5 senate republicans take on big tech why the ceo's of facebook and twitter will be questioned by congress next week and your quality of some sleet may affect the effectiveness of your flu vaccine. why local experts as being well rested makes all the difference and one industry that seems to be doing well during the pandemic is real estate why it might be a good time to buy a home. uber and lyft are like every big guy i've ever brought down. prop 22 doesn't "help" their drivers-- it denies them benefits. 22 doesn't help women. it actually weakens sexual harassment laws, which are meant to protect them. uber and lyft aren't even required to investigate sexual harassment claims. i agree with the la tim

hawley says berets conservative views on abortion earn his vote this as to her standing of the role. >>and row and fits into that is is pretty clear it certainly beats my threshold. senator mitch mcconnell's as democrats are making a fuss over nothing the bogus issue nobody should health care is being threatened illinois republican rodney davis agrees but says still congress needs a backup plan make sure that if there is a decision that makes a conspiracy theories accurate. we ought to be able to come together in a bipartisan way the supreme court will take up the ac a case just days after the in washington raquel martin. >>time for sports. >>well the streak is finally over for the first time since 2006 the a's have won a playoff series in for the first time since 1973 they have won a winner take all game. let's go to the town to see how it all went down element has remained cool calm and collected despite the postseason struggles and it didn't look good early chicago with a 3 nothing lead in the 4th until sean murphy hits this 2 run blast. and the left and aids cut the lead 3 to 2 g

the hill is watching the hearing and highlighted remarks from "nator josh hawley saying, accusing senator kamala harris of anti-catholic bigotry. others have repeatedly questioned judicial nominee fit because of membership in the knights of columbus." that got a response from jackie spear. she tweets, "i am a practicing catholic, nancy pelosi and joe biden are practicing catholics. our opposition is based on her secular views. she would strip away lgbtq rights, dismantle the affordable care act, and make it harder to vote. stop weaponizing religion." here is a look at senator hawley's remarks as we get closer to the resumption of the hearing. >> thank you, mr. chairman. judge barrett, welcome. it is good to see you again. children are your getting a break. they have earned it i think. i have got two little boys at home and i cannot believe how calmly your children have been sitting for a couple of hours. maybe you can give me some tips when we are finished. we have gotten to read about your family in the last few weeks. we've got to read a lot about you in the press and about your religio

josh hawley has been one of the very few leaders in the republican party who has stood strong against the abuses from big tech. this should do anything to stop the censorship and creeping power of people who are only too powerful. how do you assess this issue? >> is a very big antitrust issue. it's one of the biggest may be in the century. reading that case us morning, united states versus google, it made me want to say god bless america. that's got to be the most patriotic words that have been written down in a long time. i hope we will see united states versus facebook really soon, too. what's at stake is our democracy.on the going to be citizens or voters or big tech? as we seen the last few days, techh wants to run the election, they want to run this democracy. if they are trying to buy joe biden with all of the money they've t spent on biden campai. this is aboutg standing up to them and saying, you can't run america. >> tucker: that is exactly right. we have two weeks before the election, i'm hoping that one party doesn't control the whole government, that would be a disaster. i

senator josh hawley has taken on twitter and facebook over their censorship of a story pretty helpful to joe and hunter biden. what's he doing and why does he say to tipping point. dr. scott atlas made huge waves last night on the angle calling out the so-called medical experts who are still advocating lockdowns. we have a really important update on that tonight. what is something that joe biden should probably stop talking about? of course, raymond arroyo reveals that in "seen and unseen." the third and final day of confirmation hearings for c supreme court nominee amy coney barrett came to a merciful close for democrats. once again they chose to spend hour upon hour embarrassing themselves with a number of failed attempts to either try to intimidate or trip up the judge. i would like to do these reviews because i know you have real lives and you're not watching this. let's start with dick blumenthal's pathetic attempt to entrap judges barrett. >> lawrence v texas which held that the government cannot criminalize gay and lesbian relationships. was it correctly decided? >> senator blu

joining me now, josh hawley, of the judiciary committee said to lead on securing justice barrett's confirmation. a senator, great to see you tonight. all the hard work, i thought about this and i was at the south lawn watching amy coney barrett be sworn in. i thought all of her hard work paid off for her personally. but it actually paid off for the country and getting just a woman of incredible intellect and character on the court. >> yeah, the countries getting a stellar justice. for religious conservatives who fought for so long and who have gone and forwarded for republicans on the base that they would appoint pro-constitution, religious liberty, pro-life justices, this is the most openly pro-life justice of my lifetime. you know much, she did not back away from that in her confirmation hearing, she did not back away from any of her views. she stood her ground, she stood down the democrats and tonight she's the new justice. >> laura: she spoke tonight from the south lawn also about the role of the judiciary senator hawley. the fact that she's a pro-life justice it doesn't really -- given wha

missouri senator josh hawley concurring. >> a special prosecutor is appropriate, this is the former vice president who may be involved in a money laundering scheme. you've got e-mails now, looks like he's getting kickbacks from china. i mean, the american people deserve some answers here. he needs to be asked about it at tonight's debate. >> as you pointed out just a moment ago, dana, this will be the last chance for voters on a national scale to get a close-up look at joe biden and donald trump side by side in tonight's debate. obviously the president is going to delve into bread and butter issues, the economy, covid will be a big issue as well. the trump campaign believes that this new information about joe biden's son, hunter may be the president's best chance to try to knock his competitor off of his game. the president is fond of saying, we'll see. >> dana: that's a tease for all of us. we'll see what happens. thanks so much. let's check in with the biden campaign now. peter doocy is here in nashville awaiting the biden campaign to arrive? >> yes, he's still at home. we expect him t

senator josh hawley is on the judiciarye committee and he was there and participated in the hearings and he joins us with his best guess as to what this was all about. fangs for coming on. what was the point do you think? >> the point is to try and discredit amy barrett by any means possible, but it's so outrageous, theib democrats areo condescending, to see them set there and lecture her -- 1.1 democrats that i don't think you've ever tried a case. you want to talk to dick durbin, he was a good prosecutor. if the democrats had their way, you wouldn't be able to go to a church in this country, you wouldn't be able to go speak to a christian organization in this country without being disqualified. they said they wouldn't attack her faith. if that lasted for not even 24 hours. today they are right there attacking her religious beliefs, attacking her catholic convictions. spoke to a christian group, that's disqualifying. she signed a pro-life statement to church, that's disqualifying. it's unbelievable, tucker, and it's not going to work. >> tucker: so the idea is that anybody with sinc

senator josh hawley is one of the yes votes and joins us now. i'm sure you have thoughts on your democrats colleagues not even showing for the vote this morning. but first to now amy coney barrett officially going on to a vote in the senate. good morning. >> good morning to you. this is a historic moment. this is a historic nomination for a couple of reasons. two things stand out to me having been through this process. the first is, the most openly pro-life nominee to the supreme court in my lifetime. she didn't back away from it and wasn't afraid of it. pro-life christians are welcome on the supreme court and welcome in high office and every office in america and this confirmation is going to stand for that. the second thing is her faith. she was attacked relentlessly by the democrats for her faith when she was first put on the bench. the left has gone after her continuously in the press for the last three, four weeks questioning her faith conviction. she didn't back away from that either. the religious test of the democrats finally died and a

missouri senator josh hawley wrote a letter to the federal election commission about the van. "this is not nearly good enough. in fact, it's a joke. it's downright insulting. i will ask you and facebook to give an explanation under oath to the senate subcommittee i chair. these are potential violations of election law and that's a crime." the trump campaign knows the biden campaign at least so far doesn't dispute the authenticity of the emails. meanwhile the senate homeland security and government affairs committee is investigating the story. could be unfolding at a very slow pace. we'll be watching throughout the next couple days. back to you. >> shannon: we've got some folks from "the new york post" coming up. kevin, thank you. we are getting more reaction to accusations that hunter biden served as a potential contact between a top burisma executive as father. interesting reaction from the biden campaign. not an outright denial about some of these claims. correspondent jacqui heinrich has the latest from wilmington, delaware. good evening. >> good evening. the senate homelan

hawley. cruz was not at the event, but hawley was sitting next to tillis. cruz interacted with senator mike lee who tested positive for the virus. >> again, both negative there for those two. we want to bring in kathy park who is outside the medical center in morristown. what more can you tell us about the complicated efforts to contact trace after all the action in new jersey this week? >> reporter: hey, lindsey, kendis, good morning to you both. i will start with former governor chris christie since we are outside of the hospital. he's pretty good about posting updates on his twitter page. he checked himself into the hospital yesterday afternoon. he says he is feeling good, but he did experience mild symptoms. just as a precaution he checked himself into the hospital. he does have a history of asthma. he says that he's looking forward to going home. that is the latest as far as his condition goes. going back to your question on contact tracing, 15 minutes away is bedminster, new jersey. the

republicans law makers like senator josh hawley who has led the way on this from missouri has said they have to be broken up. they have extraordinary power over information, over data, over the control of our discourse. the argument for suppressing the new york post story was that is it was russian disinformation. i have seen no evidence, none that either it's a russian story or that it's disinformation. even if you assume it is, whatever dangers that come from allowing a story like that to spread is minimal, disinformation spreads all the time from our most influential media outlets, the danger of allowing identifies back, twitter or google to make decisions about what information we as american citizens can and cannot hear, what journalism stories we can and cannot read in the weeks before a presidential election those dangers are more dangerous than any news story like the washington, new york post to spread. >> like having a mute button at a debate. it will they have the case for making it spread? >>> you can make that argument. i think that what actually happened was when "the stor

the worst readings and most draconian misinterpretations of justice scalia republican josh hawley agree he says democrats misconstrue judge parents judicial philosophy, frankly. i think it is demeaning and insulting democrats argue judge there its previous writing off the bench offers insight into how she may rule given that record senator sheldon whitehouse says republicans hope for judge parents is clear to get rid of the affordable care act. >>to get rid of roe versus wade and to get rid of obergefell the marriage decision judge barrett didn't discuss her positions on those issues which is normal for nominee democrat richard blumenthal press spirit on respecting precedent whether she thinks past supreme court decisions should stand or be reversed you should be willing to tell the american people. it was correctly decided i'm asking about your legal position would you have been in the majority senator blumenthal every time you ask me a question about whether case was correctly decided or not i cannot answer that question because i cannot suggest agreement or disagreement. >>with prece

hawley says the bloated spending plan doesn't stand a chance in the senate. >>and as democrats are still blocking the gop option. i'm concerned that there won't be a deal before election day because frankly i don't think the democrats want one, i mean you can look here in the united states senate. they won't even let us debate the issue but treasury secretary steven the newton is not walking away from the table. wednesday, he met with speaker of the house nancy pelosi to work towards a compromise bill both say they intend to keep talking in washington raquel martin. >>well here's a quick look at the high temperatures we're expecting this afternoon it is going to be a day of triple digit heat inland with red flag warnings in effect and power alerts, potentially this afternoon. we'll talk >>some 47 and it has been just a few weeks in some people in the santa cruz mountains were allowed back after this easy you lightning complex fires and now they're being told be ready to evacuate again and this time not because of a wildfire. but because the possible mudslides

on that point he got concurrence today from missouri senator josh hawley. listen here. >> well, i do think a special prosecutor is absolutely appropriate. this is the former vice president who may be involved in a money laundering scheme. you have got emails now where it looks like is he getting kick backs. joe biden getting kick backs from china. i mean, the american people deserve some answers here and he needs to be asked about it at tonight's debate. >> again, he will ask be asked about it tonight debate. tony bobulinski the former ceo of the company hunter biden was involved in will be in the audience tonight. the president will need morton attacks against hunter biden if he hopes to win tonight's debate. there will be a lot of pointed questioning as well on things like bread and butter issues, coronavirus, foreign policy, a lot of things to chew over this evening. this should be a pretty interesting tepid test, neil. >> neil: to put it mildly. john roberts, thank you very, very much. in the meantime, you might have missed this but judge amy coney barr

hawley from missouri, where he has said he would not vote to confirm even a trump nominee unless it was clearly stated that nominee was against abortion, but he's just inferring from all her writing that she would be in favor of some of these state issues that will come before the court which do limit roe and even limit kasie rcas casey, the important case in the '90s that came down from pennsylvania. >> failing to even just say, here's what it says in the constitution. >> exactly. especially as an originalist. >> that's exactly right. but as i intro'd our break panel here, i said, we've had some questioning of the nominee and we've had the debate about obamacare. it all began with lindsey graham's opening statement with dick durbin responding two hours later. here is a quick mashup of it. >> under the affordable care act, three states get 35% of the money, folks. can you name them? i'll help you. california, new york, and massachusetts. they're 22% of the population. >> when the chairman opened up on it and said what he did, i was puzzled. three states get 35% of the money? how can

josh hawley the senator from missouri says he wants to vote for her because she understands in his words that roe is an active judicial imperialism. is that how you see it as well? >> vice president pence: well, look, i'm pro-life. i don't apologize for it. but again, i'm not going to presume how a justice amy coney barrett would rule. president trump selected judge barrett, nominated her to the supreme court because she is a principled brilliant jurist who will apply laws as written, will not slate from the bench, will uphold the constitution of the united states. i think the american people could see in the opening statement today, they could see as they look at her life, her family, her extraordinary career. that america and our constitution will be better off the day that judge amy coney barrett becomes justice amy coney barrett. >> dana: the indiana contingent continues to grow in washington, d.c. she was impressive in her opening statement. let me move to the other issue. coronavirus, you are out on the campaign trail. the president says he is able to now travel and do rallies. you

josh hawley and some of the other most conservative centers in the country are calling for the use of this repeal or complete overhaul of 230s well. in the claim that the media tech companies are biased against them. i think that is complete baloney. that said, it's going to lead to a massive overhaul initiative happened a decade ago by the way. this was all preventable. they do not deserve immunity anymore and fortune deserves it. if you published a speech in violent stuff a fortune platform. susan happy medium here. it is more people on both sides are going to have to come together. they will have to re- class this structure will have to have a confident in functioning commission here as well to enforce the law. i'm optimistic that you will see section 230, massive change. i think you will see privacy even stronger than the california law. and i think you will see that era of finally regulating the tech industries with common sense awful projections that benefit the public and our democratic norms and institutions. that is just around the corner. do you agree frank. frank: i do. we
