JOE SCARBOROUGH (CO-HOST): By the way, kids, for the kids at home, we had requests for every Republican on the [Senate] Intel Committee, and we were told by many of them they did not want to come on the show and defend Donald Trump before the [James Comey] hearing. So if you're wondering why we only have Democrats and Independents up there, it's because the Republicans did not want to come out. [Sen.] Susan Collins (R-ME) will come on tomorrow, though. But other Republicans laying low. They don't want to defend this guy.
