Speaker 1: to Judge Kavanaugh, who has said he will not be intimidated,

27
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: all of the issues surrounding quote a second, final second

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: release of another woman. There's a lot of issues according

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: to this case, and a lot more than we're gonna

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: get to. We've had drama all day. Rod Rosenstein is

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: going through the White House. He expects to be fired

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: on The problem was he wasn't fired and the President

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: wasn't even in the White House all days. Been in

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: New York at the United Nations moments ago, making this

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: comment about the situation in Washington with Rod Rosenstein. On Thursday,

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: when I get back from all of these meetings, and

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: we'll be meeting at the White House and we will

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: be the germanating, Uh, what's going on? We want to

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: have transparency, we want to have openness, and I look

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: forward to meeting with Rod at that time. What you

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: do with what We're gonna have a meeting on Thursday.

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Want to get back right now. Today we're meeting with

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: a lot of great people, including President Moon and where

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days. As you know, we're

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: meeting with many countries tomorrow giving a big speech. But

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: I'll be back on Thursday. And when I get back,

47
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a meeting. I spoke with Rod today

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna have a meeting on Thursday. Want

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: to get back to the Whitehouse. I want to say

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: the the country, the United States, as President Moon pointed

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: out when we first met, the United States is doing

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: better economically than we've ever done before. The numbers are outstanding.

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: New numbers will be released that I think we'll just

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: continue this forward March and I think we have tremendous

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: potential of the side. I'm very excited about our new

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: trade agreement. And this is a brand new agreement. This

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: is not an old one rewritten. This is the brand

58
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: new agreement, and I'm very excited about that for the

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: United States. And I really believe it's good for both countries.

60
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: But the the numbers that we're doing in the United States,

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: whether it be unemployment numbers or whether it be employment numbers,

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: we have right now this moment more people working in

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: the United States than ever before in our history. That's

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: some number mine, right and and you know it's it's

65
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: a number that people did not expect to see. It's

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: a number that nobody thought would happen. Certainly within two years.

67
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: We're not even up to two years of the administration.

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: So we have more people working in the United States

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: today that we've ever had. Our unemployment numbers are among

70
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: the best they've ever had. For African American, it's the

71
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: lowest we've ever had, were Asian American. For Hispanics, the

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: lowest we've ever had. And we're out of that. And

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: on top of that, we have many companies moving back

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: into the United States. In most cases it's back they

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: left and now they're coming back. They all want to

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: be with the action. And so I appreciate your kind words.

77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: But our economy is the envy right now of the world,

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: with the fastest growing economy in the world. Think of

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: it as large as we are with the fastest growing

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: economy in the world, up ten billion dollars. So we're

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: very proud of that, Thank you very much. All right,

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: that was the president. He is at the u N

83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: And that was the irony I know. Axios had written

84
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: today the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had verbally offered

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: to resign in discussions with the White House Chief of Staff,

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: General Kelly According to a source close to Rosenstein. Anyway,

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: it was a media build up all day that culminated

88
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: in the president say no, we're actually meeting. Thursday. Sarah

89
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: Sanders had put out a statement about out this, saying

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: that at the request of the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,

91
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: he and President Trump had an extended conversation to discuss

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: the recent news stories, that of course being the New

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: York Times story that in a conversation with notes taken

94
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: by Andrew McCabe well, who's a known liar, and also

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: Lisa Page that in fact, he had talked about, oh,

96
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: do you want me to record the president? You want

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: me to in other words, when he goes to the

98
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: White House to show chaos and then we can invoke

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: the amendment. Rod Rosenstein is denying it anyway, because the

100
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: President is at the United Nations General Assembly, which is awful.

101
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: If you live in New York City or work in

102
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: New York City, it means your life is a living

103
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: hell and just hoping that maybe the United Nations finds

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: another home one of these days, someplace beautiful on well

105
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: they're actually on the water, sorry, but anyway, So Rod

106
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: rosen Stein is going to meet with the President on

107
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Thursday when he returns to Washington. I have a lot

108
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: more on all of the drama, on the coverage that

109
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: has gone on. Uh, if you have not been following

110
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: the news today, Uh, there is a lot to get

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: to as it relates to Judge Kavanaugh, which is where

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: we begin. By the way, I want to give a

113
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: quick update to our stations across the Sean Hannity Show Network.

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: We expect the President is gonna be holding a press

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: conference in about thirty three minutes from now three forty

116
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: five Eastern time Pacific, and when that happens, we will

117
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: be covering it most likely in its entirety. Uh. We

118
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: also have Sarah and Greg on the program today. People

119
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: that know Judge Kavanaugh will also be joining us later

120
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: in the program today. So we have a lot of

121
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: ground to cover. Uh. In the course of the day,

122
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: we have a another woman that has come forward and

123
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the specifics of that case. But

124
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: let me first take you back to Friday night, and

125
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: there was a ten pm deadline. If you were with

126
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: us all last week, we were reporting the back and

127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: forth the raising of the bar almost on a daily

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: basis by a pretty liberal activist attorney of Professor Ford.

129
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: That's neither here nor there at the moment, but somebody

130
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: who didn't believe Paula Jones nor did she think Paula

131
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Jones had a case, And I'll get back to that,

132
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: and somebody who had defended al Frankin, which only means

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: the Professor Ford's attorney is not consistent on this particular

134
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: issue and happens to be a pretty solid left wing activist,

135
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: having donated lots of money to democratic causes and and campaigns.

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: But that again, is her attorney, that's not her um.

137
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: So Friday night, the deadline was at ten o'clock. Are

138
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: you going to come next week or not? At the

139
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: last minute, it was about nine forty Friday night. I

140
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: know it was during Hannity my TV show. Word came

141
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: in that they wanted another day, another twenty four hours.

142
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Remember there had been the attorney for Professor Ford at

143
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: first of yeah, no, she's willing to testify in public

144
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: under oath, glad to do it. And then it became

145
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: an issue, Okay, when are we gonna do it? And

146
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: then it became an issue, well, we can't have people

147
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: that disagree with the accusations, in other words, talking to

148
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: my client. And then it became but just a series

149
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: of this back and forth. I don't even think they

150
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: finally have agreed now completely to Thursday. So who knows

151
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen by Thursday. So that happened Friday. By

152
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: all accounts, it's been set the when you look at

153
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: all of the witnesses. Now we're talking about Professor Ford's

154
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: case here to support the allegation that she was sexually

155
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh. This is going back to our

156
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: high school days. Although she didn't remember the location, she

157
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't remember the year, and all of the details that

158
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: we went through last week, and the fact that Diane

159
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: Feinstein held onto this letter. She knew back in July

160
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: that Professor Ford made this allegation because she had a

161
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: letter from Professor Ford. Only today did she share that

162
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: letter with Charles Grassley and her Republican colleagues on the

163
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee. All the time she met alone with

164
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh, she never once brought the issue up with him.

165
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: All the times they they had these public hearings, not

166
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: one time, and they all knew it. Did any Democrat

167
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: bring up the issue of Professor Ford, which raises a

168
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of questions about how they have politicized this from

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: the get go. Now in the interim, we know this

170
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: that all of the witnesses that have been cited by

171
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: Christine Ford to support her allegation that when they were

172
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: in high school together don't exactly know the year. They

173
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: think it's about two. And she had made this claim

174
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: that she was in a bathing suit and had other

175
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: clothes on top of and she was she felt she

176
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: was assaulted by but then I guess a junior at

177
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: the time, Judge Kavanaugh. But since that time, the Senate

178
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, who I think has been handling this, they've

179
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: they have done the right thing. Anybody that has rushed

180
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: to judgment here is playing politics. Now you can believe

181
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: an allegation if you want to that's up to everybody's

182
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: everybody's prerogative here. I I have had too many experiences

183
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: in my life where I have not rushed to judgment

184
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: and have been proven right when the media and many

185
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: others are wrong. One high profile case, with the Duke

186
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Lacrosse case, I actually did my reporting, my investigative work

187
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: by going to meet with the families of the accused.

188
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: At the time, in the case of trade On Martin

189
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: and George Zimmerman, everybody thought that case was a slam dunk.

190
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: The President weighed in politically as well. He rushed to

191
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: judgment in that case, President Obama at the time. And

192
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: then we have the case and I actually did investigated work.

193
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: Then I went and interviewed George Zimmerman. And another high

194
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: profile case was Ferguson, Missouri. Another high profile case was

195
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: Freddie Gray in Baltimore, and everybody rushes to judgment. After

196
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: I had done my due diligence, I said, none of

197
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: these cops are going to ever be convicted. In the

198
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: case of Freddy Gray. Never everybody thought that officer Darren

199
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Wilson was going to be indicted and convicted. It was

200
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: the eyewitnesses in the neighborhood one after another that backed

201
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: up the story of Officer Darren Wilson, although his career

202
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: ended as a result of it. So there's always a

203
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: rush to judgment that I refused to get involved in.

204
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: I learned this deeply when I lived in Atlanta. It

205
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: was the Olympic Park bombing, and everybody thought. The Atlanta

206
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Journal Constitution comes out with he fits the profile of

207
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: a lone bomber, their proof he lives with his mother,

208
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: and I didn't know it at the time. Richard Jewell

209
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: was listening to me on the air that day, and

210
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: I was probably the only one in the media there

211
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: at the time that said, that doesn't mean he's a killer,

212
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's a bomber. And he ended up telling

213
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: me long after that ended and gave me an interview

214
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: then on Hannity and Combs, one of his first that

215
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: he appreciated one person stood up for him and just

216
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: gave the presumption of innocence as the media went wild.

217
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: Same things happening here. When people say I believe it,

218
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: they've made up their minds, and by making up their minds,

219
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,119
Speaker 1: they're not believing in due process. They had not believing

220
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: in a fundamental core of our justice, sister, and which

221
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: is the presumption of innocence. Now we know the Senate

222
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, which rightly has been accommodating to every request

223
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: Professor Ford and her attorney has made, although they're not

224
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: going to allow Judge Kavanaugh to go first and Professor

225
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: Ford second because he has the right to respond to

226
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: her allegations. Anyway, every witness, and I'll get to this

227
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: when we get back, cited by Professor Ford herself to

228
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: support her allegation that she was assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh,

229
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: has now given their accounts to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

230
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: All four contradict Professor Ford's version of events. Now we're

231
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna get into this, this new allegation that is being made.

232
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: I've read this piece and highlighted this piece by Jane

233
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Mayer and Ronan Pharaoh, and i gotta tell you something,

234
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: there is a lot of problems with this new allegation.

235
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: A lot. Judge Kavanaugh has now responded, I will not

236
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: be intimidated, and everybody should have this fundamental belief. There

237
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,359
Speaker 1: are so many that don't, but only at convenient times.

238
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: Because when Keith Ellison, the number two guy at the

239
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: d n C is accused by his girlfriend of physical

240
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: and emotional abuse on a fairly regular basis interesting that

241
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: none of these people that are rushing to judgment on

242
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh have had a word, not a peep about

243
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison, and many of them were big lovers of

244
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: all things Clinton. So the outrage you're hearing and seeing

245
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: is so often has a a selective moral outrage with

246
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: a political taink to it all, because if they cared

247
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: about the issue, they'd be consistent with only a kite,

248
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: a house key, and wet hempstring. Benjamin Franklin captured lightning

249
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: in a bottle over two d and sixty years later,

250
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: with a little resourcefulness, ingenuity, and grit, we're not only

251
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: capturing energy from the sun and wind, we're storing it,

252
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: ensuring Americans have the energy they need whenever they need it.

253
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Learn more about the nation's leader and energy storage at

254
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: next Era energy dot com. So those that are Russian

255
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: to judgment, I believe her, they've already made up their minds.

256
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: Republicans have been responsible trying to accommodate. The president has

257
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: been trying to accommodate changing varying, you know, demands etcetera, days, etcetera. Okay,

258
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: that all happen. But in the case of an update

259
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: released by the Senate Judiciary Committee that have taken seriously

260
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: as they should, Professor Ford's allegations against Judge Kavanaugh. They

261
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: learned the identities of all four individuals that Professor Ford

262
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: claim we're at the party where the alleged abuse took place.

263
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: The Committee reached out to every one of them and

264
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: asked for the opportunity to have a confidential interview, and

265
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: all four of them, all of them denied knowledge of

266
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: any party matching Professor Ford's description. And the committee noted

267
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Dr Fords is the only first hand witness not to

268
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: provide a statement or interview to the committee. And we'll

269
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: see if she in fact wants to give her story

270
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Now, when we come back, we're gonna get

271
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: to this second accuser in the New Yorker and Kavanaugh's

272
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: letter and statement. I will not be intimidated. That's next,

273
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: al right, so much to get to today. We haven't

274
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: even touched the Rod Rosenstein drama that has been on

275
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: holding all day. Will get to that, we have Judge

276
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh's letter, will get to that. I will not be intimidated.

277
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: I also asked that, well, I'll tell you about Diane

278
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: Feinstein in a minute. We'll get to that. Let let

279
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: me again go back to Friday. We need to set

280
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: this up properly. So the Senate Judiciary Committee is big

281
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: getting all these ever changing request I'm not showing up.

282
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm showing up. I'm gonna show up only under these conditions,

283
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: these conditions, etcetera. And they have tried to be extraordinarily accommodating,

284
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: and I think for the right reasons, considering the severity

285
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: of Professor Ford's allegation. Now she said to testify on Thursday. Okay,

286
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: now that's step one. Now in the interim, the in

287
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: spite of Diane Finstein never handing over the July letter

288
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: from Professor Ford until today, never came out till today,

289
00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: all these opportunities, public hearings, private meetings, The Democrat rats

290
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: have all been in on this. They've all known about

291
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: this letter and they hit it from the Republicans, and

292
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: even since it has become public, they would not hand

293
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: over the letter until earlier today. Now, all of the

294
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: witnesses cited by Professor Ford to support her allegation that

295
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: she was sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanov. Now, given their

296
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: accounts they've been working to the Senate Judiciary Committee. All

297
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: four contradict Professor Ford's version of events, and so in

298
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: an update that was released yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee

299
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: said it was investigating Dr Ford's allegations against Judge Kavanaugh

300
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: for the last week and it has now learned the

301
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: identities of the four individuals that Dr Ford claim we're

302
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: at the party where the alleged abuse took place. For

303
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: individuals that Professor Ford claimed attending the party were Judge Kavanaugh,

304
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Mark Judge He's the one that came out first and

305
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: also had alcohol problems at the time, uh and had said,

306
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: I guess in a book or something he had written

307
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: that he had blacked out a lot at that time

308
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: when he was heavily abusing alcohol, Patrick Smith, and a

309
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: woman by the name of Miss Leland h Ingram Kaiser.

310
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Now the Committee reached out to each person or an

311
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to conduct a confidential interview. All four of them,

312
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: Mr Judge, Mr Smith, Miss Kaiser all deny having knowledge

313
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: of any party matching Dr Ford's description, which obviously would

314
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: bolster Mr Kavanaugha's denials. Now the Center has to make

315
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: a decision here and one of their one of the

316
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: things they're gonna have to factor in, and I'll get

317
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: to the second woman that broke late last night is

318
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: the entirety of this man's life. They're going to have

319
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: to anybody that is fair minded will be willing to

320
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: give this man due process, the presumption of innocence. Uh

321
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: and as as much as the Democrats, and it's it's

322
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: ironic Diane Feinstein is now demanding rastly postponed the hearings. Well,

323
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein set the timeline to this by not releasing

324
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: the information and not bringing it up until the last minute.

325
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: She set the timeline here the you know, and then

326
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: you've got Avanadi on the just It's sort of like

327
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: a sideshow to me. I know, I have evidence, I

328
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: have people, and he tries to now insert himself into everything.

329
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: But we even have the woman that came forward to

330
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: New York Magazine on Sunday with acclaim that Brett Kavanaugh

331
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: exposed himself too hard during a drunken party at yale Um,

332
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: telling Ronan Pharaoh and Jane Mayer of The New Yorker

333
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: that she was no longer sure that her allegation is true.

334
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: This is just break as well. On National Review Online,

335
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: Jane Mayer said today that Debora Ramirez, who accused Brett

336
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh of sexually harassing her, told her New Yorker colleague

337
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Ronan Pharaoh that she couldn't be sure of the Supreme

338
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: Court nominees guilt confronted with a New York Times report

339
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: indicating they had spent all week last week apparently researching this,

340
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: expressing doubts about Kavanaugh's guilt in this particular the second allegation.

341
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: Mayor said Ramirez shared those doubts before they published their

342
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: bombshell report on Sunday. To ron In, she said she

343
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: wasn't absolutely certain. She needed to make certain before she

344
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: was going to say anything publicly. She remembered the specifics,

345
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: the graphics specifics, and tried to remember for sure who

346
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: that man was, who was in her face. There were

347
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: no eyewitness accounts in this story. Several of Kavanaugh's friends

348
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: and roommates from his time at Yale, some of whom

349
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: were said to have been in the room, released statements

350
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: denying that ever took place. I mean, The New York

351
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: Times interviewed several dozen people for the entire week last

352
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: week in an attempt to and this is in the

353
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: time story that I'm not making. This is from them

354
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: trying to corroborate Ms. Ramirez his story, and they could

355
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: find no one with firsthand knowledge, no one. Ms Ramirez

356
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: herself contacted former Yale classmates, asking them if they were

357
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: called the incident, and told some of them that she

358
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: could not be certain Mr Kavanaugh was the one who

359
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: exposed himself. Well, I mean, why are we now at

360
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: this point. I've read the New Yorker piece carefully numerous times,

361
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: and the New Yorker has not confirmed with any other

362
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was even present at the party. From

363
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: their own words, her memories contained quote gaps because she

364
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: had been drinking heavily and was inebriated at the time

365
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: of the alleged incident. It wasn't until she had been

366
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: well gone through the issue, let me put it that way,

367
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: for six days that Ramirez said she felt confident enough

368
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: of her recollections to say she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed

369
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: himself at a drunken dormitory party. I mean six days now,

370
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: she acknowledges. She quickly became quote her words. She quickly

371
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: became inebriated at the party, she acknowledged quote she was

372
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: on the floor foggy, slurring her words. Ramirez acknowledged there

373
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: were significant gaps in her memories of the evening. The

374
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: alleged eyewitnesses all deny it. The first one said, One

375
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: of the male classmates who Ramirez said egged on Kavanaugh,

376
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: denied any memory of the party. I don't think Brett

377
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: would flash himself to Debbi or anyone else for that matter.

378
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: The second said. The other male classmate Ramiro said was

379
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: involved in the incident said, I have zero recollection of this.

380
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: Her college best friend even denied it by saying, this

381
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: is a woman I was best friends with. We shared

382
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: intimate details of our lives, and I was never told

383
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: this story by her or by anyone else. It never

384
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: came up. I didn't see it. I never heard of

385
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: it happening. And by the way, other contemporaries deny it

386
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: as well. In a statement, two of those male students

387
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: who Ramiras alleged were involved in the incident. You know,

388
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: the wife of the third male student said she said

389
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: was involved. Three other classmates they give the names disputed.

390
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Ramirez his account of events. Quote. We were the people

391
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale.

392
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: He was a roommate to some of us. We spent

393
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: a great deal of time with him, including in the

394
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of us

395
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after her

396
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: time at Yale. We can say with confidence that if

397
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: this incident Debbie alleged has ever occurred, we would have

398
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: seen or heard about it, and we did not. The

399
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: behavior she describes would be completely out of character for

400
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. In addition, some of us knew Debbi long

401
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: after Yale. She never described this incident until Brett's Supreme

402
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: Court nomination was pending. Editors from The New Yorker contacted

403
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: some of us because we are the people who would

404
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: know the truth, and we told them we never saw

405
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: or heard about this. Now Kavanaugh also personally has denied it.

406
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: This alleged event from thirty five years ago did not happen.

407
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: The people who knew me then know that this did

408
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: not happen and have said so. This is a smear,

409
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday

410
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: about the truth and defending my good name and my

411
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: reputation and character and integrity that I have spent a

412
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: lifetime building against these last minute allegations. Now we we

413
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: have to look at these words that are actually in

414
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: everything I'm reading here, was in the New Yorker piece. Everything.

415
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: Now the question is, I mean, I can't believe I'm

416
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: even saying. I mean the New York Times, the people

417
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: that printed the anonymous piece on Trump, they interviewed several

418
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: dozen people. They couldn't find a single person to corroborate

419
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: the story of Ms. Ramirez and then her own gaps

420
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: in memory, and I was inebriated early on, and so

421
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 1: on and so forth. But by the way, you know,

422
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: everybody in college drinks too much. Let's be honest here,

423
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: most people do. I'm not holding this in any way

424
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: against miss Ramirez. She too deserves to have her story heard.

425
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: But at some point there's got to be some evidence,

426
00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: corroboration and more than what the New Yorker holds a standard.

427
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: It's here now. I know that they've done some decent

428
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: work grown in Pharaoh with the Weinstein case. Weinstein case,

429
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: and um, I think that was the right thing to do.

430
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: But I'm looking directly at the verbatim quotes here now,

431
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh. And by the way, we're expecting the President

432
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: at some point is going to speak and give a

433
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: press conference. When that happens, we'll we'll bring it to you.

434
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: When I testified in front of the Senate three weeks ago,

435
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: I explained my belief that fair process is a foundational

436
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: is foundational to justice and to our democracy. And I

437
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: want to stop by saying this. You know, one of

438
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: the reasons I always have pause in these cases. I

439
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: learned it as I was mentioning in the last half

440
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: hour in the Richard Jewel case that had a profound

441
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: impact on my life and career because my gun instinct

442
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: at the time when the a j C. I was

443
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: on the air at the time, broke the story. Remember,

444
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: originally he was the hero, Richard Jewel. He since has

445
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: passed away and then all of a sud And by

446
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: the way, I think it ruined his life. I think

447
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: it just destroyed him. And I was on the air

448
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: and I'm reading it. He fits the profile. And by

449
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: the way, profiling is used by law enforcement. You know,

450
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: it's a tool, is what it is, Just like um,

451
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: it's a tool lie detector test, but they're not fool proof,

452
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: and otherwise we would be you know up. But you

453
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: can't mechanically perfect that, or at least we haven't. One

454
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: of the reasons. Everybody has a right to be skeptical.

455
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: And we see it now every four years, and I've

456
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: got all the tape to play. I won't do it

457
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: now because I don't have time. Republicans are racist, it

458
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: comes up. Republicans don't want to even have the wrong

459
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: agenda for African Americans. I don't want to count you

460
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: in the census or elect Republicans. Black churches are gonna burn.

461
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: And it's like my father was killed all over again.

462
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: When George Bush rightly supported the death penalty fora and

463
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: the James Bird case, an innocent man dragged to his

464
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: death by a bunch of racist non human beings and

465
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: then misogynist and and Mitt Romney and binders, Mitt Romney

466
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: cut a kid's hair. Remember that came up. And Republicans

467
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic is homophobic. They want

468
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: dirty air and water. Well, they drink the water and

469
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: they breathe the air, but they just don't agree with

470
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: environmental extremists. That's why that accusation is made that Republicans

471
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: want children to die. That you're gonna get every election

472
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: year a grandma getting thrown over a cliff by a

473
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: Republican or Paul Ryan lookalike. There is a history of

474
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: doing that every election sees by the Democrats. I have

475
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: a chronicled I have it down pat I warn everybody

476
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. And just like in the case when

477
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: Neil Gorst's when that opening occurred, or that when Anthony

478
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: Kennedy retired, what did I do. I pulled out the

479
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: Bork statements by Ted Kennedy. I pulled out Clarence Thomas

480
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: and what happened to him and every This is what

481
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: Democrats do. Sadly, that's their playbook for elections and Supreme

482
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Court nominees. They didn't have to wait for July to

483
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: the last minute. They did that. Now these stories are

484
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: I believe every person has a right to be heard here,

485
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: but there are false allegations made. When I stood almost

486
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: alone against the news media that wanted to convict kids,

487
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: as it relates to the Duke Lacrosse case, I did

488
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: my own investigative work, just like we did with Zimmerman

489
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: and Trayvon Martin, just like we did in Ferguson, just

490
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: like we vetted Obama, just like Freddie Gray, just like

491
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: the Cambridge police acted stupidly. And I'm just urged. I'm

492
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: not asking you to take a position. Just believe in

493
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: due process. Just believe in the presumption of innocence. Here, yes,

494
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: let these women, let them be heard, Give them every courtesy,

495
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: every accommodation you can. Then a vote needs to happen

496
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: because everything that is mentioned here by these two women

497
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly contradicted by now hundreds of other people that

498
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: have known Kavanaugh from high school, through college, through law school,

499
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: through the Bush administration, through female law Kirk's law clerks,

500
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: through the people that he works with on the court. Now,

501
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to his letter when we get back.

502
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: We'll follow the President uh and his press conference. We

503
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: also have Sarah and Gregg coming up, and of course

504
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: all the Rod Rosenstein's rama we haven't even gotten to yet.

505
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: We got a lot to get to, a right glad

506
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: you with us um, what is a huge, busy breaking

507
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: news day. We're expecting the president to give a press

508
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: conferences at the U Win today. He'll be speaking tomorrow

509
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: and obviously we'll have some of those highlights as well. UM,

510
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: I want to get back to Brett Cavanaugh, and then

511
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into the Rod Rosenstein issue, which I

512
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: haven't even had time to touch today because of all

513
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: the breaking news that has occurred. Uh. By the way,

514
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: the White House will meet with Rod Rosenstein on Thursday,

515
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: and so much drama today and so much false reporting today,

516
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: and uh, anyway, it doesn't surprise me. Let me. Um,

517
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: So this is the letter that Brett Kavanaugh and I

518
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: just went over both cases, including the New Yorker bomb

519
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: that dropped last night, but the New Yorker didn't confirm

520
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was even president at the party.

521
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: Her memories contained gaps. She admits she was inebriated very

522
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: quickly and and had been drinking pretty heavily at the

523
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: time of the alleged incident. Um, it wasn't until well

524
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: she had to go through the issue for six days

525
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: before she could settle on what had happened thirty four

526
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: years ago. And um, it was then at that point

527
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: she felt confident enough in her recollections to say that

528
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a party when

529
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: he was a freshman at Yale. She acknowledged herself that

530
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: she had significant gaps in her memories that evening. The

531
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: alleged I witnesses all denied it. The first one said.

532
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: One of the male classmates who Ramirez said egged on

533
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party. I don't think

534
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: Brett would flash himself to Debbi or anybody for that matter,

535
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: others said other classmates. Ramirez h that said Ramires was

536
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: involved in the incident commented, we don't have any recollection

537
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: of that. Her best friend in college even said. This

538
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: is a woman I was best friends with. We shared

539
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: intimate details of our lives. I was never told this

540
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: story by her or by anybody else. Never came up.

541
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I never heard of it happening.

542
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: Other contemporaries denied, as well, statement of two of those

543
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved in the incident.

544
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: The wife of the third male student she said was

545
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: involved in. Three other classmates disputed ramirez his account of events.

546
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: We were people closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first

547
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: year at Yale. He was a roommate to some of

548
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: us we went, and we spent a great deal of

549
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: time with him, including in the dorm where this incident

550
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: allegedly took place. Some of us who were also friends

551
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: with Debbie Ramirez during hurt, during and after her time

552
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: at Yale, we can say with confidence that if the

553
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have seen or

554
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: heard about it, and we did not, and the behavior

555
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: she describes would be completely out of character for Brett Kavanaugh.

556
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale,

557
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: and she never described this incident until Brett's Supreme Court

558
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: nomination was pending. Editors from The New Yorker contacted some

559
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: of us because we were the people who would know

560
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: the truth, and we told them we never saw or

561
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: heard about any of this, and Kavanaugh, of course, has

562
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: denied it. I think one of the more interesting aspects

563
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: of this is The New York Times had said that

564
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: they've been investigating all of this for a week, and

565
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: they had interviewed several dozen people over the past week

566
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: in an attempt to corroborate her story and could find

567
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: no one with firsthand knowledge. Mrs Ramirez herself contacted former

568
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: Yell classmates asking if they were called the incident, and

569
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: told some of them that she could not be certain.

570
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: Ms Kavanaugh. Mr Kavanaugh was one of the one who

571
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: exposed himself. I mean, this is not there. There's too

572
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: much here that you you have to ask yourself. And

573
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: this is where the history of the Democratic Party comes

574
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: in and the handling of Professor Ford's case comes in,

575
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: and all of the people that were supposedly there have

576
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: now spoken out and spoken out loudly. The Senate Judiciary

577
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: rightly took it seriously, contacted all the witnesses cited by

578
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: professor Ford. They all contradicted her account. Anyway. So Brett Kavanaugh,

579
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: who will be on Martha McCallum show tonight. We'll have

580
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: some of those highlights on Hannity tonight. You know, he

581
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: sent a letter to Charles Grassley, the chairman of the

582
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee, and Diane Feinstein, the ranking Remember Diane

583
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: Feinstein's handling him. All of this has been atrocious, just

584
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: absolutely fundamentally atrocious. Even she at one point, So I

585
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: have no idea how any of this is true. You know,

586
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: the inconsistency by Democrats, it should cause everyone to pause.

587
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: We played you the ad that is running in in

588
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: Ohio Jared Brown, I mean a horrible court allegations by

589
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: his wife. Then we have Corey Booker writing about groping

590
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: a high school friend as they fumbled upon a bed,

591
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: and and he's admitting such behavior. You know, Booker, you

592
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: know facing cript. Where are the Democrats criticism of the

593
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: of these two individuals here? You know? He writes in

594
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties, while a student at Stanford New Year's

595
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: Eve four, he was fifteen, he groped a female for

596
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: his breast after the two of them had kiss with

597
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: the top gun slogan ringing in my head. I slowly

598
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 1: reached for her breast, he writes of that night, after

599
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: having my hand pushed away once I reached my mark.

600
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: Those are his words. The point of Booker's column was

601
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: how at that moment in his work on the issue

602
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: after it changed him and his views on women and

603
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: consent an assault. It was a wake up call, he said,

604
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: I will never be the same, well shared. Brown walks

605
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: the Hall of Congress and soda shared. So does Corey Booker.

606
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: Fifteen at the time when I testified, Brick Cavanaugh writes

607
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: before the Senate three weeks ago, I explained my belief

608
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: that a fair process is foundational to justice and to

609
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: our democracy at a At that time, I sat before

610
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary Committee for more than thirty one hours

611
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: and answered questions under I then answered more questions at

612
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: a confidential session the following week. I responded to more

613
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: than twelve written questions, more than have been submitted to

614
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: all previous Supreme Court nominees combined. Think about that only

615
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: after the exhaustive process was complete that I learned for

616
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: the news media about a thirty six year old allegation

617
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: from high school that had been asserted months earlier and

618
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: withheld from me throughout the entire hearing process. First, it

619
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: was an anonymous allegation that I had categorically and unequivocally denied.

620
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: Soon after the accuser was identified, I repeated my denial

621
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: on the record and made clear that I wished to

622
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: appear before the committee. I then repeated my denials to

623
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: committee investigators. Under criminal penalties for false statements. All of

624
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: the witnesses identified by Dr Ford as being president the

625
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: party she describes are on the record to the committee

626
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: saying they have no recollection of any such party happening.

627
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: I asked to testify before the Committee again under oath,

628
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: as soon as possible, so that both Dr Ford and

629
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: I could both be heard. I thank Chairman grass Lely

630
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: for scheduling that hearing for Thursday. Last night, another false

631
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: and uncorroborated accusation from thirty five years ago was published.

632
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: Once again. Those allegations have uh. Those alleged to have

633
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: been witnesses to the event deny it ever happened. There

634
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: is now a frenzy to come up with something, anything,

635
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: that will block this process and a vote on my

636
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: confirmation from a curry. These are smears, pure and simple,

637
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: and they debase our public discourse. But they are also

638
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: a threat to any man or woman who wishes to

639
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious character assassination, if

640
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: allowed to succeed, will dissuade competent and good people of

641
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: all political persuasion from service persuasions. As I told the

642
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Committee during my hearing, a federal judge must be independent,

643
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: not swayed by public or political pressure. This is the

644
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of judge I will always be, will not be

645
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: intimidated into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to

646
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: destroy my good name will not drive me out. Vile

647
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: threats of violence against my family will not drive me out.

648
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: The last minute character assassination will not succeed. I have

649
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: devoted my career to serving the public and the cause

650
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: of justice, and particularly to promoting equality and dignity of women.

651
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: Women from every phase of my life have come forward

652
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: to attest to my character, and I am grateful to them.

653
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: I owe to them and to my family to defend

654
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: my integrity and my name. I look forward to answering

655
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: questions from the Senate on Thursday. That's Brett Kavanaugh's response.

656
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: The Senate Judiciary con tact at all the witnesses that

657
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: I told you, I am Feinstein demanding grassly postponed the hearing.

658
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: Of course, why did she hold it from because this

659
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: is the you know, this is their plan. What she

660
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: did in this particular case by withholding all of this

661
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: is disgraceful because anybody that is being accused of something

662
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: this serious needs an opportunity to be able to respond.

663
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you another thing. You know, this is

664
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: why the presumption of of innocence is so important. This

665
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: is why I've spent a lot of time on this

666
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: program in the in the thirty years since I started

667
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: in radio, learned a lot of lessons along the way.

668
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: So I mentioned my I've been at odds with the

669
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: news media and often usually proven right time after time.

670
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: I learned that lesson in the Richard Jewel case that's

671
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: back in. I learned that. You know, we learned a

672
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: lot during the Obama years. I learned when Obama was running,

673
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: nobody was gonna vet him. The only time he ever

674
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: got asked, ever, the one time he got asked about

675
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: Arizon Dorn, it was because I fed the question to

676
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolis. And then you have the issue of Trey

677
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: von Martin, George Zimmerman and the media, and then President

678
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: Obama's rushed to judgment, the rush to judgment as it

679
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: relates to the Cambridge police, the rudged rushed to judgment

680
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: in the Ferguson case, the rudged rushed to judgment in

681
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Freddie Gray case. Media has been wrong and

682
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: others have been wrong repeatedly because they rushed to judgment

683
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: and they don't give the presumption of innocence. So we're

684
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: watching this all very very closely. But I will tell

685
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: you anyone that says they know does not know. And

686
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: you have to look at the entirety the dramatic, I mean,

687
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: when you look at the dramatic, inconsistent, look at Brett

688
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh's life over four decades and the so many people

689
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: who have spoken to his character he's a gentleman, etcetera, etcetera,

690
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, and then the double standard. There's a reason,

691
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, when I say that every two to four

692
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: years they bring a racist, sex at, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic,

693
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: uh islamophobic, dirty air water Republicans want, you know, killed children,

694
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: throw granny over the cliff. You know what it's like

695
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: to call somebody racist if they're not sexist, if they're

696
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: not Mitt Romney had binders of women's resumes. He wanted

697
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: to hire the women. You know, if somebody you know,

698
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: accuses you of of this type of allegation, which is

699
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: so serious and severe, they've got to have evidence something.

700
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: There's a reason our system is designed the way it is,

701
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: and yet this happens. It's a playbook. Sadly, That's why

702
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: there is a reasonable skepticism of anybody based on a

703
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: history of these tactics by Democrats. Anyway, eight nine one,

704
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: Shawn to free telephone number when the President speaks. President

705
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: apparently the president's about the sign of free trade agreement

706
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: with South Korea. If he answers any other questions, we'll

707
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: go to that. He's at the u N today speaking tomorrow.

708
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: We have Greg and Sarah. We're gonna get finally to

709
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the Rod Rosenstein issue in a minute. And as we

710
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: were all along Sean Hannity Show, eight one Shawn is

711
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: our number. Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, has waited.

712
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: I want to make it perfectly clear. Brett Cavanaugh will

713
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: receive a vote. Kavanaugh to crying the smears and his

714
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: letter to the committee is not going to be intimidated

715
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: into withdrawing. Both Brett Kavanaugh and his wife Will Pierre

716
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: Martha McCallum show seven o'clock on the Fox News Channel tonight.

717
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: We'll have a follow up to that, uh as well.

718
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: And just a lot happening with all of this, A

719
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: lot happening. I've read the New Yorker story many times now,

720
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: all the quotes and excerpts from the New Yorker that

721
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: raised serious questions about this second allegation. One other note,

722
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: it appears that Judge Kavanaugh has his calendar from two

723
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: he does never never listed a party as the one

724
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: the accused of describes. By the way, you have to

725
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: be a nerd to have your serious that is serious nerd. Um,

726
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, man, I don't. I've never kept a diary

727
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: of my life. I don't even keep diary. A calendar.

728
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: You don't keep a calendar. I don't keep a calendar now,

729
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: and I missed meetings because of it. As you're very

730
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: good at that. Um. I just other people have to

731
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: remind me, Oh, you got an interview in five minutes?

732
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: Did you call on ten minutes? Forgot? I'm hall now. Um.

733
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Professor Ford also hired along with this

734
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: liberal activist attorney, Andy McCabe's attorney. That's interesting. I know

735
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: what the strategy is Washington Post. By the way, UM, well,

736
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: I want to get into this right now. I want

737
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: to hold that for a reason, Senate Democrats investing investigating

738
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: the new allegation. You know what it is. Even in

739
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: the New Yorker piece, they're admitting, they're actually admitting, like

740
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: the Democrats are now calling people you know, Um, that's

741
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: a really dangerous strategy. Oh maybe you have something to

742
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: say about him. I know this has happened in my

743
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: life at least thirty times. Media calls everyone that's ever

744
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: worked for me randomly, all right, Sarah Gregg, Rod rosen Stein,

745
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: and that drama when we get back, and if the

746
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: President speaks, we'll take it. Coming up light now till

747
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. Toll free telephone numbers eight

748
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: D nine one Shaw Shawn knows you want to join us. Uh.

749
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: Two people that know Judge Kavanaugh will be joining us

750
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: in a little bit. Uh. One actually has known him

751
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: his entire life for the most part. Um. We had

752
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: a meeting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein meeting with Chief

753
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: of Staff John Kelly on Friday afternoon after the blockbuster

754
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: New York Times Bombshells story which had the Deputy Attorney

755
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: General the one that also recommended the firing and James

756
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: come and the guy that signed the last and final

757
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: FISA warrant application as it relates to Carter Page, the

758
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: renewal application. Anyway, after that meeting, Rosenstein put out another

759
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: strongly worded statement denying the story and the two men.

760
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: By the way, the subject of the meeting was all

761
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: of that The two men also had discussions over the

762
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: weekend in which the subject of Rod Rosenstein possibly resigning

763
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: came up, according to a source familiar with the talks,

764
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: and then there was a lot of drama had to

765
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: be leaked by some in Rosenstein's camp. In my opinion,

766
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: when he was he's going to the White House fully

767
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 1: expected to be fired. I said Friday night, I think

768
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: this is a trap for the president. In other words,

769
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: if he fires Rod Rosenstein, they were gonna make this

770
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: the Friday Night massacre. And I am very concerned at

771
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: anybody that works for the Department of Justice. And I

772
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: have been very critical of Rod Rosenstein in particular because

773
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: he has been conflicted from the very beginning. He would

774
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: be witnessed. Number one, as it relates to was this

775
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: a case of obstruction when the President fired James Comey?

776
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Rod Rosenstein had recommended the firing, even

777
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: though we all know Article two gives the president full

778
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: and complete authority over the executive branch under which the

779
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: Department of Justice falls. President, for example, could just demand

780
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: a particular investigation. President can, if he chooses, demand something

781
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: be stopped. President has not done any of these things

782
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: at this particular point in time, he also appointed Robert Mueller,

783
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: so there's a conflict there. Now Rod Rosenstein is claiming that, oh,

784
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: I'll wear a blanking wire, wear a blanking wire. Is

785
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: that we want me to do? You want me to

786
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: want me to tap the president go into his office

787
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: and then will invoke the amendment? It just these are

788
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: you can't even these unparalleled times we're living in. He

789
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: never should have been involved in any of this from

790
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: the get go. Now the president also, we've been waiting

791
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: on the release of the unredacted materials and the declassification

792
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: of the Gang of Eight materials, the three oh two's,

793
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: which are the notes, interviews and contemporaneous notes in particular

794
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Or and Chris to for Steel, and of course

795
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: the pages ten through twelve and seventeen through thirty four,

796
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: the infamous pages regarding the final FISA warrant application. Lindsey

797
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: Graham this weekend, I've been saying the FBI and the

798
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: d o J are waging a bureaucratic coup against Donald Trump,

799
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: which I agree with. And UM anyway, joining us now

800
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: with the latest on all of this, we have investigative

801
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: reporter Sarah Carter, also a Fox News contributor, and we

802
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 1: have Greg Jarrett, author of the number one New York

803
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: Times bestseller of the Russia Hoax, Russian Hoax. Welcome both

804
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: of you to the program. Uh, Sarah, let's start with

805
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: all the drama that was going on today and what

806
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend, and what happened Friday, and what

807
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: we expect is going to happen on Thursday, and the

808
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: President meets with Rob Rosenstein. Well, everybody I've talked to,

809
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: even on background and said, this is just such an

810
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 1: extraordinary situation. We've never seen anything quite like this, you know,

811
00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: in modern political history, and today's events were you know, Sean, Uh,

812
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: nonetheless the same. I mean, it was back and forth.

813
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: Everybody was on the edge of their seat. Of course. Uh.

814
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that believe as you do,

815
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: as I do as well, that the lead came from

816
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice that Rosenstein was expecting to be fired,

817
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: uh when he went into the White House today. And

818
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: then of course I got a statement from Sarah Sanders later,

819
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: like everyone else did, that the President and Rosenstein would

820
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: be meeting on Thursday, UM to extend their conversation about

821
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: the recent news stories. UM and you know, the president's

822
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: right now at the UN General Assembly, so he's got

823
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: you know, full schedule ahead of him for the day,

824
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: so he's kind of putting everything aside until Thursday. What

825
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,760
Speaker 1: we do know is this is that there's been concerned

826
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: from the very beginning about Rod Rosenstein his involvement in

827
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: signing off on the third Application renewal, the fourth and

828
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: final FISA of of Carter Page. He was also the

829
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: same man who wrote the letter, actually a very well

830
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: written letter about why James Comey failed at his job

831
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: as the director, the former director of the FBI, and

832
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: handed that over to the president, and that was part

833
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: of the impetus of why the President decided to let

834
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 1: go of James Comey. Although we know the President now

835
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: has said, you know, I wish you would have done

836
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: it on day one. I mean I think that if

837
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton had been elected, she would have done it

838
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: on day one. The Democrats were screaming mad at Comey

839
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: about how he handled everything. A lot of them wanted

840
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: him fired. Uh, it wasn't until the President actually did

841
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 1: that that then they came back was like, oh, it's

842
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice. Well, how could it be obstruction if

843
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein himself is involved in it, and you're right,

844
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: he's either the first witness and eyewitness or a co conspirator.

845
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy can't oversee the special counsel. I

846
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: think on Thursday, and what I'm hearing from people, I mean,

847
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: the president is obviously it's going to be up to

848
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: the President to make his own determination and decision. From

849
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: the people I've talked to, there's no doubt in a

850
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of people's minds that this was what Rod Rosenstein

851
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: had said, that the New York Times are to goal

852
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: was accurate, that he wasn't just joking around. Um. I

853
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: think that it was very unexpected when the story dropped

854
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: the next day, because remember it was Rob Rosenstein ran

855
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: over to the White House in a panic basically that

856
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: the President had declassified all those documents, and so not

857
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: only did he go over there, but there was pressure

858
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: from some other countries apparently to not let these documents

859
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 1: go public and to turn him over to the Inspector General.

860
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: And then the very next day, you know, the New

861
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: York Times, which have been working on the story for

862
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: two months, it finally gets out. And what it appears

863
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: according to the sources that I've spoken with, is that

864
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: McCabe knows he's going down. He's facing a grand jury,

865
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: and now at this point in time, he's basically like,

866
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going down alone. I'm not going down the

867
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: sinking ship by myself. I'm going to take the other

868
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: rots with me. And he's lashing back. Let me go

869
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: to Greg Jerick. Greg your take on all of us.

870
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: But Rosenstein is a very minimum should be relieved of

871
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: his job overseeing the Special Council case. UH Congress in

872
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: the Inspector General should investigate these allegations that Rosenstein solicited

873
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: people to secretly record the president and recruited cabinet members

874
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: to depose Trump under the twenty five Amendment. So Rosenstein

875
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: needs to be removed from the Special Council case. Should

876
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 1: have happened a long time ago, because he has multiple

877
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: conflicts of interests. As you point out, Sean, he's a

878
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: fact witness in the case. Regulations say you cannot be

879
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: a prosecutor and a witness all rolled into one. And

880
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: of course he signed the FISA warrant to renew the

881
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: spine on the Trump campaign associate Carter Page, so he

882
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: cannot be in charge of an investigation involving his own

883
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: underlying decisions. You know, there are serious questions as to

884
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: why Rosenstein chose Bob Muller, who interviewed to be FBI

885
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: Director of the day before he took the job as

886
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: special counsel. Was the president uh not advised of this?

887
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: He was not. Why didn't Rosenstein tell the president that?

888
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,240
Speaker 1: Why didn't Mueller tell the president that those are glaring

889
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 1: conflicts of interest? And you know, in point of fact,

890
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: under the law, there should never have been a special counsel.

891
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: There has to be a conflict of interest. None was stated,

892
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: Sessions had recused himself. Where's the conflict. Second of all,

893
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: there has to be an identified crime. None was stated

894
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: in the authorization order. And finally, a special counsel and

895
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: the regulations is only permitted in criminal cases. This was

896
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: never a criminal case. It was a counterintelligence probe. So

897
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,439
Speaker 1: there should never have been a special counsel. And this

898
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: tells me that Rosenstein is part of this effort to

899
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: frame Trump for things he didn't do. But that's what's

900
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: now falling apart. That's what is you know, layer by layer,

901
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: the onion has now been appealed here and what we

902
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: now see is that the highest levels of our Department

903
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: of Justice are FBI, and we know the names now

904
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: struck in Page and McCabe and and Comey and a

905
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: Justice Yates and or and and or being a conduit

906
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: for Christopher Steele. At the bottom of it all is

907
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: the Hillary bought and paid for dossier put together by

908
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: a foreign national, Christopher Steele, and then literally disseminated and

909
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: spread like total propaganda, unconfirmed, unverified, uncorroborated lies before the

910
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: campaign and then used literally through a media leak strategy

911
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: that we now know exists for the very purpose of

912
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: helping to set up a special counsel that couple with

913
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: James Comey's leak actions. And when Lisa Page says there

914
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: was no evidence nine months into this of any Trump

915
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: Russia collusion of any kind, it seems that it was

916
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: all one big setup. Yeah, it was a hoax. And

917
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: this is just more evidence of a cesspool of corruption

918
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice and the FBI. These top officials,

919
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: you just name many of them. They sought to sabotage

920
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: the president with false claims, to drive him from office,

921
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: to undo the election results. These are people who were

922
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: sworn to uphold the law and yet Sean, they manipulated

923
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: it for their own partisan purposes. That you know, there

924
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: needs to be a serious and legitimate investigation by a

925
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: real prosecutor with a presentment to a grand jury for

926
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: consideration of criminal charges against the people that you just

927
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: identified at the FBI and the Department of Justice. How

928
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: does somebody, ever, even in a joking fashion, ever suggest that, well,

929
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: do you want me to wear a wire and and

930
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: mount an effort to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. You

931
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: just don't do that, Sean, You just that's not that's

932
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: not the behavior. In fact, that's not his normal behavior

933
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: of her. According to people that I've that I've spoken to,

934
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: he's a pretty serious guy, Rod Rosenstein, but he also

935
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: has a vicious temper that has been reported to me

936
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: by by numerous people. Absolutely in a vicious temper. I mean,

937
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: he would have to actually talk to the president. But

938
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: we're also remember he's just one of others. He wasn't

939
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: the only one. It wasn't just him, and you know, uh,

940
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: Lisa Page and the others who were in that meeting.

941
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: Apparently according to the Times, and we know this from

942
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: the anonymous op ed at the Times published which I

943
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: think they published based on the fact that they were

944
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: already working on this story. There are other people in

945
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: the administration that we're in cahoots with Rod Rosenstein. So

946
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: as Greg, as Greg said, there needs to be a

947
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: full fledged investigation. This is really literally an extension of

948
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: what we're seeing as a silent coup or a white

949
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: coup to overthrow, to remove a president, a duly elected

950
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: president of the United it States. And this is why

951
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: they've tried to corner President Trump saying, oh, well, even

952
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: if you know this information to be true, even if

953
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: it's proven true, you can't get rid of Rod Rosenstein

954
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: because now all of a sudden, we're going to come

955
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: at you tooth and nail and hold you accountable and

956
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: say that this is obstruction. No, this is a president

957
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: of the United States, and under Article too, he has

958
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: every authority to remove someone who is a danger to

959
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: his presidency if he so chooses, and for any reason.

960
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: So there needs to be an investigation. Well, I I

961
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: just I think the president and the New York Post

962
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: pointed this out in an editorial today. Greg is in

963
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: a terrible position because the media that has been pushing

964
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: a phony, fake, false narrative for two years they would

965
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: pounce on the legitimate firing of Rosenstein as a means

966
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: of turning this into Friday night massacre, the equivalent of

967
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,439
Speaker 1: a Saturday night massacre and Watergate, because they've been using

968
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: those and now these forever. But yet the guy clearly

969
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: deserves to be fired. Now it is Jeff Sessions Department

970
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: of Justice, and here we're back to the same old question.

971
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: Where's Jeff? Why? Why is Jeff not involved? Why is

972
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it Jeff not interviewing Rod Rosenstein? Why is Jeff not

973
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: This is his department. He would have the authority to

974
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: fire the Deputy Attorney General. He absolutely would. He should

975
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: exercise at minimum, And your instincts are right. This would

976
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: be the Friday night massacre as opposed to the Saturday

977
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: night massacre or whatever night it takes place. That's the

978
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: media would howl with their hair on fire. And so

979
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the way to handle this, it seems to me, is

980
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: for Sessions to ask Rosenstein to recuse himself temporarily pending

981
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: UH an investigation by Congress or the Inspector General or both. Uh,

982
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: You're not firing him, You're simply removing him pending results

983
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: of an investigation. And I think that's the way to go.

984
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: And there's there's plenty of reasons for that removal, recusal

985
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: temporarily because of the multiple conflicts of interest that Rosenstein

986
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: has and and given the New York Times story, and

987
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: I you know, it does appear to be true. I

988
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: don't believe for a moment he was being sarcastic in

989
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: The New York Times stands by uh their sort. They

990
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: adamantly stand up an interesting the New York Times. Of

991
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: all people they held back, they said they reached out

992
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: to dozens of people in the second allegation against Judge Cavanaugh.

993
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: They couldn't find a single person in a week that

994
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: would corroborate what this woman is saying from Yale. But

995
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: stay right there. We'll continue more with Greg Jarrett and

996
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter. Albert barks America is a land of which

997
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: women would be forced into back alley abortions. Blacks would

998
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: said that segregated lunch countess rogue police could break down citizens,

999
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 1: doores and midnight raids, and school children could not be

1000
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: taught about evolution right as an artist would be censured

1001
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: at the whim of government. Neil Borsach, who I did

1002
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: not support as a Supreme Court justice. He's joined two

1003
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: of the most conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Alito on

1004
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: the Court to take the position that the entire injunction

1005
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: should have been lifted. This is like the three horsemen

1006
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: of the Apocalypse, and they're waiting for the fourth one

1007
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: to come along. So it is vital that Judge Roberts

1008
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: answer a wide range of questions openly, honestly, and fully

1009
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: in the coming months. The burden is on a nominee

1010
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court to prove that he is worthy,

1011
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: not on the Senate to prove that he is unworthy.

1012
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: The most important reason I will oppose Judge Alito is

1013
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: that I have no confidence he will serve as a

1014
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: real check on the abuse of presidential power that we

1015
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: see so prevalent prevalent today in America. Debate on Friday,

1016
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Elis was asked if he's confident there won't be any

1017
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: more allegations against him. Take a listen. You know, I

1018
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: don't know what somebody might cook up, but I can

1019
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: tell you that there is absolutely nobody that I'm aware

1020
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: of who's who has any sort of through who's threatening

1021
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: or suggesting or as who've ever made a prior accusation.

1022
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: He's running for Attorney General of Minnesota. Wouldn't the concern

1023
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: about Kavanaugh and Professor Ford be more credible if Democrats

1024
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: were also condemning similar charges against Democrats in their midst

1025
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: including Congressman Allison. I've been very clear that I made

1026
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: no excuses for anybody who engages in this kind of behavior,

1027
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: and as far as Keith Ellison, these allegations need to

1028
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: be investigated and appropriate action taken. Meanwhile, we have, within

1029
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: the next week or so, we have before us a

1030
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: nominee that is under a cloud. There's not even a

1031
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: modicum of investigation, and so we are left with basically

1032
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: he said. She said, all right, there's a lot to

1033
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: absorb in all of that news round up in Information

1034
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Overload hour here on the Sean Hannity Show eight one, Shawn,

1035
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,

1036
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things. One, look, let's start with

1037
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: the first allegation by Professor Ford and every single witness

1038
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: that she cited to support her allegation that she was

1039
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: sexually assaulted by Brett Cavanaugh, they've now given their accounts

1040
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: to the Senate Judiciary Committee, all of them have contradicted

1041
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Professor Ford's version of events. In an update released on Sunday,

1042
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary Committee said it had been investigating Dr

1043
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Ford's allegations against brit Cavanaugh for the past week, and

1044
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: they have now learned the identities of the four other

1045
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: individuals that Ford claim was at the party where the

1046
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: alleged abuse took place. Remember, now we finally got the

1047
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: copy late today. But this is only Diane Feinstein has

1048
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: held onto this now since July, and only today did

1049
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: they release the original letter that Professor Ford sent to

1050
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein. And Diane fine Stein had numerous opportunities when

1051
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:05,919
Speaker 1: she met with Judge Kavanaugh alone, and of course during

1052
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings never once raised this issue,

1053
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: not one time. Now the four individuals in the case

1054
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: of Professor Ford claimed that she claimed of attendant of

1055
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the party we Judge Kavanaugh, uh Mark, Judge Patrick Smith,

1056
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: uh miss leland Ingram Kaiser, according to the Committee. Now,

1057
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: the committee rightly, in my opinion, they've got to do

1058
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: their due diligence. They've got to take allegations like this seriously.

1059
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: They have now had the opportunity to conduct a confidential

1060
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: interview with all of them and Mr Judge, Mr Smith, Ms.

1061
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Kaiser all deny having knowledge of any party matching what

1062
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Professor Ford described, which, of course bolsters Professor Kavanaugh's denials. Again,

1063
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: that's what thirty six seven years ago. And the committee

1064
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: noted that Dr Ford is the only first hand witness

1065
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: to provide a statement or to do the interview with

1066
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: the committee, and they're gonna, we expect that that's gonna

1067
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: happen on Thursday, and it's Sunday update. The Judiciary Committee

1068
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: said have tried to interview a fifth person, a former

1069
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: schoolmate of Fords, who was not at the party, but

1070
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: claimed on social media that the incident did happen, and

1071
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: that particular woman deleted her Facebook posts after the committee

1072
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: staff asked to speak with her, and she told National

1073
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: Public Radio that she really had no idea whether the

1074
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: alleged incident had happened. So they're doing everything right and

1075
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: responsible and have offered Professor Ford every consideration. Now we

1076
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: go to late last night and Joan Mayord, and we'll

1077
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: get into her history with Clarence Thomas in in a

1078
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: few minutes. But if you read this article closely, and

1079
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: Rowan Rowan wasn't it. Ronan Pharaoh is the guy, by

1080
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: the way, to his credit, that broke the Weinstein story.

1081
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: But the New Yorker, they too, had never confirmed with

1082
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: any eyewitness that Kavanaugh was president at the party. She

1083
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: says in the interview that they've had for The New

1084
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: York that her memories contained gaps because she had been

1085
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: drinking at the time of the alleged incident. It wasn't

1086
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: until she had been you know, literally, it took six

1087
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: days for Ramiras that she said she felt confident enough

1088
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: that of her recollections to say that she does finally

1089
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: remember Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party.

1090
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: She acknowledges she quickly became inebriated at that party, that

1091
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: she was on the floor, foggy, slurring her words. These

1092
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: are her own words here, not mine. Ramiros acknowledged that

1093
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: there were significant gap gaps in her memories of the

1094
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: evening the alleged I witnesses to it deny it. The

1095
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: first one said, quote one of the male classmates who

1096
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Ramirez said egged on Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party.

1097
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Brett would flash himself to Debbie or

1098
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: anyone else for that matter. The second alleged eye witness

1099
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: said the other male classmates Ramiro said was involved in

1100
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: the incident said, I have zero recollection of anything like this.

1101
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Our college best friend has said. This is a woman

1102
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: that I was best friends with. We shared intimate details

1103
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,759
Speaker 1: of our lives, and I was never told the story

1104
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: by her or by anyone else. That never came up.

1105
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I never heard it happening. And

1106
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: even the New York Times, after a week of investigations,

1107
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: they couldn't run with the story because they couldn't get

1108
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,799
Speaker 1: a single person to corroborate it anyway. Um and Kavanaugh

1109
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: now denies it all right, as we continue our top

1110
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: story today, and of course all the drama with Rod

1111
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,759
Speaker 1: Rosenstein earlier carries Severino's with US Chief Council Policy Director

1112
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Judicial Crisis Network meganum Caleb is also with us. She

1113
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: went to high school with Brett Cavanaugh. They remained very

1114
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: good friends to this day. And thank you both for

1115
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: being with us. I appreciate you being here. Let me

1116
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: go to you, Megan, you know you and about at

1117
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: least a hundred other people have gone on the record

1118
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 1: and just said, this is not the person we knew

1119
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: then in high school or college, or law school, or

1120
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: anyone that's work with him, and any professional capacity at

1121
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,560
Speaker 1: the Bush administration female law clerks that he's had that

1122
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 1: actually the contradiction is is dramatic, that he was the

1123
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: total gentleman. What do you make all of this? No,

1124
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: I it is so frustrating. I really don't even know

1125
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: what to make of it. I mean, I have to

1126
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: tell you, of all those guys, and I knew all

1127
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: of them when we all hung out a lot, he

1128
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: was the most responsible one of the bunch. I can

1129
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: just tell you that. And it's it's so frustrating to

1130
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 1: me that this is coming out and that everyone she

1131
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: said that was at the party all said that it

1132
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: didn't happen, or they weren't there, or they don't remember.

1133
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: And I just don't don't understand how it keeps. It's

1134
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: still it's still in the news constantly until let's just

1135
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: wait until Thursday and let him respond. Also, I'd like

1136
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: to add, how can we haven't heard anything for any

1137
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: character witnesses of Chrissie blasi Fort from high school, none

1138
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: of her guy friends, none of her girlfriends. We've heard nothing,

1139
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: and I think speaks volumes as well. You know, the people,

1140
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: and this is the thing. I mean, there's such a

1141
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,560
Speaker 1: long intervening period of time here and you get to

1142
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 1: look at one's the entirety of one's life. I'll be listen, Megan,

1143
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll be very honest with you. I I have no idea. Now,

1144
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: I went to an all boys high school. But maybe

1145
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: there's like three people that would say something nice about me.

1146
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I just you know, at that

1147
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: point in my life, I was an incorrigible, rebellious jerk,

1148
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: and I just I but for everyone to say this

1149
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: is the nicest guy, the most responsible guy, and everybody's

1150
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: consistent with that, that raises a lot of questions your

1151
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: thoughts carry. I absolutely agree, and I think that's part

1152
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: of the reason we're seeing these even these new, even

1153
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: less well robinted, more discredited allegations coming out because the

1154
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 1: Democrats could see that this story about Dr Ford was

1155
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: becoming less and less plausible by the day. Every day

1156
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 1: it was a new person. We found another person who

1157
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: has claiming at the party. He said he nothing happened,

1158
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: she said nothing happened. And then you know, Judge Kavanaugh

1159
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: actually has contemporaneous calendar, So they went back and looked

1160
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, what was he even doing that summer. Yeah,

1161
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: it's very difficult, of course, because her allegations are so vague,

1162
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: because you can't say, you know, it happened on July

1163
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 1: fourth weekend. We don't know when she was during the summer,

1164
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: but he was gone much of that summer. He has

1165
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: other parties listed on there nothing that correlates to the party,

1166
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: the type party, in the location with the people that

1167
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: she describes. So it's just one more nail in the

1168
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: coffin to what was already an increasingly implausible claim. So

1169
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: now I think then they're just taking it to a

1170
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: new level of more outrageous, um, more ridiculous claims. And this,

1171
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: this most recent one, I think takes the cake because

1172
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: it is you know, she even originally talked to The

1173
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 1: New Yorker and said at the time she wasn't sure

1174
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 1: it was him. It took her six days in consultation

1175
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:59,839
Speaker 1: with her lawyer, who who is a active Democrat, provided

1176
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I the Democrats who were trying to gin up some

1177
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: story to get to the point where she could be

1178
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: convinced to say yes, maybe I do. I do think

1179
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: it was him. I mean that this is not the

1180
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: hallmarks of a trustworthy witness, especially when you add in

1181
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:17,480
Speaker 1: that again, everyone she said was at this event, denies

1182
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: that it happened, denies that Judge Kavanaugh had anything to

1183
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: do with it. So, um, this is, you know, a real,

1184
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: real character smear, and it's just looking uglier and uglier.

1185
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people on the right are

1186
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: just getting absolutely set up seeing these the way that

1187
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: our our whole judicial system, our Senate confirmation system, is

1188
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: getting dragged into the mud here because this is this

1189
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 1: is a horribly disrespectful way to treat a nominee, and

1190
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 1: the senators aren't even respecting a job. At Senator Rono

1191
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: as if you played her clips, she said, I wish

1192
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: they'd do some investigating. The Senate Judiciary, to me, has

1193
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: literally been doing investigations all week. They're supposed to be bipartisan,

1194
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: but the Senate Democrats are too busy getting in front

1195
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: of camera's demanding an investigation to actually do an investigation.

1196
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: They had the Opera Treaty to ask having off questions

1197
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: and to submit questions to all of these witnesses who

1198
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: have now submitted testimony that under penalty of felony, they

1199
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: swear is correct. Um. The Democrats are just too busy

1200
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: show voting to actually do the investigation they're asking for it.

1201
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: That's shameful. The fact that this was held since July.

1202
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: This is the one of the reasons I think people

1203
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: have to be skeptical. And and also the history of

1204
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: what they did to Robert Borke and the lies and

1205
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: the smearing and the slander of Ted Kennedy and others

1206
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 1: back at the time, and and this last minute it's

1207
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: out of the same playbook. I keep telling people that

1208
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: every four years, every two years election years, Republicans a racist,

1209
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:44,719
Speaker 1: sexiss homophobic, xenophobecause, homophobic misogynists. They want dirty air water,

1210
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 1: they want to kill children, and they want to throw

1211
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: granny over the cliff. And we got Paul Ryan look

1212
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 1: alike in an ad throwing Grandma over the cliff. And

1213
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Supreme Court nominations. It is

1214
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 1: last minute, Oh my god, oh my god, these allegations,

1215
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 1: and then they begin to do the investigating and there's

1216
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: no corroboration here. And then there's an entire other story

1217
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: that has emerged right as we continue carry Severino. She

1218
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: is the chief Council Policy Director Judicial Crisis Network. Megam

1219
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 1: Caleb is with us. She went to high school with

1220
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. Um, you know most kids in high school,

1221
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is kind of my generation, and I

1222
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,480
Speaker 1: guess my life was a little bit of an anomaly.

1223
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: I was the youngest of four kids, and at twelve

1224
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,879
Speaker 1: years of age, I was washing dishes in a restaurant

1225
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and not coming home till three

1226
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: in the morning, four in the morning. And I was

1227
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: tending bar in my junior and senior year some nights.

1228
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 1: I'd even do it during the week and then come home.

1229
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: But it seems like, you know, we've that this guy

1230
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 1: was very different in every respect. He was just very

1231
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 1: responsible and treated everybody with respect. And that's why these

1232
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: allegations just seemed so out of left field. I mean,

1233
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: let me tell you, there are a lot of people

1234
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: that I knew in high school that were pretty wild

1235
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: and crazy that I would not be standing and Brett

1236
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 1: is definitely worth standing up for. You know, It's interesting

1237
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: to say I was a little incorrigible, but I actually

1238
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: was working. I I was obsessed with working as a kid,

1239
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: so I didn't really have the time to be incorrigible.

1240
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Although I don't think it's the best environment to be

1241
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: a bartender at seventeen. Personally, if my own kids wanted

1242
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: to do it, the ends, who would be hell no, uh,

1243
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,639
Speaker 1: you're not following in your dad's footsteps. But I think

1244
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,560
Speaker 1: more importantly carry I think this topic. I think the

1245
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: Republicans actually have handled this in the right manner. They

1246
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: have taken it seriously. They have sought in all the

1247
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: witnesses that that could have been around at the time

1248
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: that would know anything. They've talked to everybody. I think

1249
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 1: they've been very accommodating to Professor Ford and offering that

1250
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 1: she could do this in person, she could do it

1251
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: under oath, she could do it um publicly, privately, they'll

1252
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: come to her, and all those other things about that,

1253
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 1: Absolutely it's exceptional. I mean, when you look at how

1254
01:16:55,640 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: Senator Grassley has treated her versus Senator Feinstein Satinstein, it

1255
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,600
Speaker 1: neither said this is incredible and and and stuck it

1256
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: in a final roar or said this could play out

1257
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: really well in September. Maybe we'll just put it on

1258
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: hold until then. Treating her like a political chit and

1259
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: not actually like a real human being. So it's it's

1260
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: on the contrary, Chairman Grassley within twenty four hours of

1261
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: hearing the allegations and hearing her in her in her

1262
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: lawyer was it was very ending at the time, we

1263
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: want to have a hearing, and the Democrats were saying

1264
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 1: we need a public hearing. So he he did exactly

1265
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: what they said. He put it on the calendar and

1266
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 1: the committee let me, let me pick this up on

1267
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: the other side, we have another quick break here, we'll

1268
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: come back. I'm gonna hold you guys a few minutes

1269
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: over until the final half hour of the program today.

Speaker 1: the hour. We're gonna get to your calls in just

1278
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: a minute. Where he carried over Carrie Saravino, who is

1279
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: the Chief Council Policy Director Judicial Crisis Network. Megan mcayleb

1280
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: went to high school with Brett Kavanaugh. They remain good friends. Um,

1281
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 1: did you remain friends with him throughout high school, college,

1282
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: law school, into adulthood when he worked for the Bush

1283
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: administration through his time now being a judge? I think

1284
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: what eleven years now, I did? I We were friends

1285
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: through high school and through college, and then he moved

1286
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,600
Speaker 1: away clerk, you know, was in California, and but we

1287
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: always remained friends. Tell us about how this is impacting

1288
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: his family. I remember, sadly his daughters during the confirmation

1289
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: and before the Senate Judiciary Committee or the hearings that

1290
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: they had, that his daughters had to be escorted out

1291
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 1: of the room with all the antics that were going

1292
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: on there, and of course Democrats turning it into a circus.

1293
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: But more than that, the people in the gallery were

1294
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 1: just atrocious, and they took those poor little girls out

1295
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: of the room. I felt bad for them. How are

1296
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: they holding up? You know, I think it's been really

1297
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: really hard for the family. You know, the kids are young,

1298
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: but you you know, I'm sure they care. Stories and

1299
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: and Brett Nashley have had to talk to them about it,

1300
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: and that's that's a hard thing to do for your

1301
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: fifth grader and your seventh grader. And it's also been

1302
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: difficult for their friends. You know, a lot of their

1303
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: guy friends. The schools have been ripped apart, their characters

1304
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: and ripped apart. It's been really difficult, and I just

1305
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: don't think the Senudiciary Committee took that into consideration in

1306
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: any way. And for Dr four too, I know it's

1307
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: torn her party family apart. But you also you also

1308
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: knew people that dated him. I did in high school

1309
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,560
Speaker 1: and in college. Yeah, I did, And he always was

1310
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 1: a really decent, honorable guy always, I mean never ever

1311
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: did I ever hear anything like us. What did you

1312
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,560
Speaker 1: make of his statement today defined I will not be intimidated.

1313
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: I was really pleased to see that, because it can.

1314
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure it does get very frustrating when it starts

1315
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: affecting your family and your young dollarvers and and you know,

1316
01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: you get death direction and all that sort of thing.

1317
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: But he you know, I believe in him, and he

1318
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: believes him health and does they are not true and

1319
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: he is being stared speared, and I I'm so happy

1320
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: that he will not be intimidated from this process because

1321
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,759
Speaker 1: it's too important. What does this go from here, Kerry,

1322
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean, now you've got I guess that guy Avnada

1323
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: who represents Stormy Daniels saying I've got people too. Oh

1324
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: my goodness. I mean, well, look, he's another candidate trying

1325
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: to get some of the piece of the action here. Um.

1326
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,640
Speaker 1: But his look, if his allegations are credible, he'll bring

1327
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: some evidence to the Judiciary Committee. But he has certainly

1328
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: not done so yet despite the fact that they've reached out,

1329
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: maybe even raised out to him. We're making, you know,

1330
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: crazy allegations via tweet, so they're they're really trying to

1331
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: do their due diligence. Um. But I think we're gonna

1332
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: have the hearing on Thursday. UM. I'm looking for hopefully,

1333
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully she shows my understanding if she hasn't

1334
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: even finally fully agreed to it, because she's making so

1335
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: many unreasonable demands of the committee. Um. But I hope

1336
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: we'll get a chance to hear this. I know Judge

1337
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: Kapana was looking forward to clearing his name because you know,

1338
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: to to go back to last exchange. I think this

1339
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 1: is what they're trying to do is a pattern of

1340
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: intimidation and bullying. They want people to say, you know what,

1341
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: I would love to serve my country, but I don't

1342
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: want to be have a character assassination go on. All

1343
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: of these people, none of them are believers in the

1344
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: presumption of innocence. It's actually shocking to me. I mean,

1345
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 1: Mia Pharaoh, the mom of Ronan, whatever his name is,

1346
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: the guy that broke the story Ronan Pharaoh. UM actually

1347
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: tweeted out, Oh, Clarence Thomas says he should resign. I mean,

1348
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: this is how far they want to go back to

1349
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: one now. It's um. It's becoming a crazy environment guilt

1350
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: by accusation and the fact that so few people, even

1351
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: United States senators, don't believe in a process. The people

1352
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 1: that are being judicious here are conservatives and even the Republicans.

1353
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: They're saying, let's listen to what she has to say. UM. Anyway, yeah,

1354
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 1: and by the way that they and the same people

1355
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: that are so outraged here, they don't show any out

1356
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: age over Keith Ellison, none whatsoever, never said a word

1357
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 1: about and only when they got pressed now after the fact,

1358
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 1: long after the fact. Oh yeah, yeah, maybe we should

1359
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: investigate him too. That was their answer. Um, I really

1360
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: appreciate you both being with us, Uh, Megan mikaeleb thank you.

1361
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Carrie Severino, thank you. We'll have all of this tonight

1362
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 1: and a breakdown. I promise you won't get anywhere else

1363
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: in the media. Uh. Let's get to our busy telephones

1364
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: here in the meantime, as we check in with Richard

1365
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:28,560
Speaker 1: Is in Kansas, Richard High, how are you glad you

1366
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: called um fine? I was deplorable. I just was recently

1367
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: promoted to drag um. By the way, what that means,

1368
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, is that's Joe Biden uh

1369
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: saying that Trump's supporters of the dregs of society. Yeah,

1370
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: and I'm one of the people, millions of people. One

1371
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I and millions of other people

1372
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: voted so the president was based on what he said

1373
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: about Supreme Court nominees. And if this thing goes belly up,

1374
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,919
Speaker 1: because Grassley and the rest of them can't grow a spine,

1375
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: I quite frankly don't see why I should bother voting period.

1376
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: I really believe that have Republicans Again, if if the

1377
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: facts as they are known today, remain the same, and

1378
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:17,719
Speaker 1: they don't confirm Judge Kavanaugh. Again, all the people named

1379
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: in the case, the Senate Judiciary Committee has contacted, all

1380
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: the quote witnesses cited by Professor Ford. They've all contradicted

1381
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: her story, all of them. None of them agree with

1382
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: her account of events. Then all the other issues that

1383
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: I brought up with the New Yorker, this this other

1384
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: last minute issue that's brought up, And I'm just guessing

1385
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: now based on Avanati wanting to be in the news

1386
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: every five seconds, it will be another one before Thursday,

1387
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,759
Speaker 1: just to keep the momentum and create the impression. Listen,

1388
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: if Kavanaugh is not going to be intimidated by this,

1389
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 1: and his family is standing by him, and facts don't

1390
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: change and Republicans don't back him, that at that point

1391
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: I think that it is uh problematic for the mid

1392
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 1: terms for the Republicans. I don't think they'll be able

1393
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,759
Speaker 1: to get anybody to go out for them. What's the point?

1394
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 1: At that point, I think there's only one way to

1395
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: stop this. It would require a rule change in the future.

1396
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: If somebody makes it what would be a tortious or

1397
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,959
Speaker 1: criminal accusation, it should immediately be removed. From the committee

1398
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: and put in front of a judge in a court

1399
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,560
Speaker 1: with all of the rules of evidence and cross examination

1400
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: UH in place. That's the only thing that will stop

1401
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 1: this business about uncooperated last minute allegations. I appreciate the call, Richard.

1402
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. Aaron is in Raleigh in North Carolina on

1403
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Aaron, how are you were? Glad

1404
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: you called? I'm great. Thanks. How are you, Sean? I'm good,

1405
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: Thank you good. I'm calling. And I have a comment

1406
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: about the information that Dr Ford brought forth in her letter.

1407
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: I just found it um interesting that she the discrepancy

1408
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 1: that she um couldn't remember where she was the evening

1409
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: of the alleged incident, how she got there, how she

1410
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: got home, but she was quick to name the Montgomery

1411
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: County or the county of Montgomery County in her letter.

1412
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 1: And I just thought that was interesting. Got me thinking,

1413
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm from that area. I grew up in that area.

1414
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: I graduated in nine and I lived in the same

1415
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,799
Speaker 1: town as she did. And I know that the parties

1416
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 1: that those that we had our kids had back then

1417
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: could happen in Maryland, but could also happen in Washington,

1418
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: d C. Or Northern Virginia. Those private schools draw kids

1419
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: from all around the DC metropolitan area, so it's funny

1420
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: that she mentions, you know, Montgomery County specifically, although not

1421
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: any clue were in Montgomery County. And um, I looked

1422
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: into a little bit and saw the Statute of Limitations

1423
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:40,600
Speaker 1: does not expire in Montgomery County, Maryland. However, if she

1424
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: wasn't d C or Northern Virginia, they would have expired.

1425
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if she's trying to hold herself to

1426
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 1: be able to turn this if something goes criminal with it,

1427
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: she has some sort of case to hold onto. Yeah, listen,

1428
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you. Um, I don't know.

1429
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 1: I think it's very problematic that all four people, and

1430
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: again we've been trying to be fair as we can

1431
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: be here. The Senate Judiciary Committee talked to all the

1432
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:12,639
Speaker 1: quote people that were at this party cited by Professor Ford.

1433
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 1: They all contradicted her account. And I know that I

1434
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: don't even it's very very hard to understand how everybody

1435
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: else sees it a different way, and and the passion

1436
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: by which everybody from high school to today thirty six

1437
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: years universally says this guy is not that guy. That's

1438
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 1: nearly four decades of one's life, that person after person

1439
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 1: after person is discussing here, and then the people at

1440
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: the time saying that wasn't him. Then either all of

1441
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 1: this needs to be taken into account by the Senate

1442
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee and by the Senate. And it's gonna be

1443
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 1: very interesting, you know, for all these Democrats to rush

1444
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,759
Speaker 1: to judgment, for all these people, to deny due process,

1445
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 1: for all these people to say I believe her, for

1446
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: all these people then to say, Ooh, I just can't

1447
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 1: vote for him based on this, but there's no corroboration

1448
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: of any kind going back thirties, six seven years, whatever

1449
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 1: it is. I think it then becomes problematic for the

1450
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Democrats and who they are. And the reason for skepticism

1451
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: more than any other is their history of Borking, the

1452
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: slander of Robert Bork, the treatment of Clarence Thomas, et cetera. Anyway, Aaron,

1453
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 1: thank you, Hannah. Next Tennessee, how's our friend Marcia Blackburn

1454
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: doing down there? We really need that seat badly. And uh,

1455
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: I hope everyone goes out in Tennessee to vote for Marcia. Well,

1456
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: I hope so too. They're going to have a they're

1457
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,560
Speaker 1: going to have a debate to our evening on the

1458
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 1: local news on CBS. Okay, I don't know who's monitoring

1459
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: the debate, but they'll have one. Brettison is a former

1460
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 1: governor and he served very well, I think, and he's

1461
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: very credible when he talks. But he's old, and there

1462
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: are there are rumors that Chuck Schumer talked to him

1463
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: into running, so who knows. I wouldn't vote for him.

1464
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: I'll vote for Marcia Bickburne. But it's going to be

1465
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: here's what the people. Here's the one thing I'd say

1466
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: to the people of Tennessee. And I love Tennessee. I

1467
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: got my radio career start on ninety miles south of

1468
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 1: Nashville in Athens, Alabama, Huntsville, Alabama. Who is Marcia blackburn

1469
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: going to be voting with on most occasions? It's and

1470
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: who is her Democratic former governor going to be voting with?

1471
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,440
Speaker 1: On most occasions? He's going to be with the Democrats.

1472
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: And yes he would be. He's a Democrat, so he

1473
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 1: would be voting for them. However, I think he was

1474
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: a decent governor. Or. I had just moved to Tennessee,

1475
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: from Michigan at that time, so I'm really not that familiar,

1476
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: but I've never heard a lot of grumbling grumbling about him.

1477
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 1: But I have two points to make today. First of all,

1478
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm so happy the second accuser has come forth because

1479
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 1: she is so far out that it kind of accaps

1480
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: the credibility from anything that has happened, and it kind

1481
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: of shows it up for what it is. It's part

1482
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: of a smear campaign, and I think it's it's easier

1483
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: to understand that with seeing her lack of credibility that's

1484
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: even worse than forwards. The second thing is that these

1485
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 1: sanctimonious members of Congress who are having so much to

1486
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: say about Kavanagh on simply an allegation, are the same

1487
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: people that have a slush fund in Congress to cover

1488
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: their sex, their sexual allegations, to keep them from being exposed.

1489
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:53,640
Speaker 1: And I think since that's a fund that's paid by

1490
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: the taxpayers, the taxpayers have a right to know who

1491
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 1: has been ead off. I think you're making a great point,

1492
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you what your great point is.

1493
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 1: And there's some fourteen million dollars that we hear that

1494
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 1: has been spent to make to have these settlement agreements

1495
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:17,880
Speaker 1: with people, Hannah, and if they want to make settlements.

1496
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, I know companies sometimes make settlements

1497
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: that nobody was even guilty, but that it's more cost

1498
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 1: effective not to I understand the whole process behind it,

1499
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: and it's just by the time they finished litigating and

1500
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: and the smearing and the reputation and going on defense anyway.

1501
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 1: So people make decisions for all sorts of reasons. But

1502
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 1: if you want to make that decision and you want

1503
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 1: to get involved in in paying somebody that needs to

1504
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: come out of your pocket, not our pocket, I agree

1505
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,560
Speaker 1: with you. And if we paid for it, we have

1506
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: a right to know who got paid and why. I

1507
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: agree with you. If they had to be exposed to

1508
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: the public. A lot of them are running amounts so

1509
01:30:54,600 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: strongly today would have less to say complaming someone else. Listen.

1510
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 1: I I think you raised a good point. I think

1511
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,760
Speaker 1: we need that information. I'd rather have it sooner rather

1512
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 1: than later. Uh. And I think there's probably a lot

1513
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: of nervous congressmen and women and senators out there that, um, honestly,

1514
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: I just agree with you. I think if if you're

1515
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna ask the taxpayers to pay off your settlements. Sorry,

1516
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 1: we have a right to know and that's a uh, Hannah,

1517
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: I thank you for the call. Eight nine one, Shawn,

1518
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: I have a minute left. Uh, let's go to Jared

1519
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 1: is in Boulder City, Nevada. What's going on? Jared? We

1520
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: were there in Vegas last week? What's going on? Real quick? Hey?

1521
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:38,320
