BRAZILE: Let me ask you a question. Did you all follow some poll? Because first you opposed creating the...

BLACKBURN: Of course not, not following...

BRAZILE: ... the Department of Homeland Security. That was a Democratic idea. You were opposed to creating the independent 9/11 Commission. And then Democrats had to drag you to extending the deadline for them to finish up their work.

(CROSSTALK)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

BLACKBURN: You're incorrect on that. You're incorrect on that.

BRAZILE: That's the facts.

BLACKBURN: What we are looking at is having the right platform in order for this debate to take place, having an orderly process, an orderly and efficient process in order for this debate to take place. That is what the American people want. They want a thoughtful process. They don't want us to jump in here and say, OK, today, we're going to change everything. This is a big -- one of the things we heard in our...

BRAZILE: It's been three years, three years. And what has changed under George Bush? What has been fixed? What has been fixed?

(APPLAUSE)

BLACKBURN: You know what? I just told you. I told you exactly what has changed. If the Democrats hadn't been growing this budget, this bureaucracy so huge

(CROSSTALK) BRAZILE: Democrats were not in charge.

(CROSSTALK)

BLACKBURN: ... over the last 40 years, then one of the things we heard today from our committee was that government has gotten so big. You look at how big this has grown, how big the agencies have grown.

BRAZILE: Under the Republicans.

BLACKBURN: No, ma'am, under the Democrats.

BRAZILE: What are we in charge of?

BLACKBURN: Under the Democrats. For

BRAZILE: Eleanor, you're in charge now.

(LAUGHTER)

5. Should be MARSHA can you hold this for me?

Brazile was grilling a Republican congresswoman whose name was Marsha Blackburn; Brazile confused her first name with another guest, the Democratic, Washington DC congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.

I just read the transcript - Brazile did a good job, but that show & Tucker Carlson are so pathetic.
