1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, glad you with us. We are in Washington,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: d C. The swamp, the sewer, and we're glad you

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: with us. As we speak, Judge Kavanaugh and his wife

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: are now walking into the Senate Judiciary Committee room where uh,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: the judge will be testified. We're gonna, I think we

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: need to take his entire uh, his opening statements, certainly

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: in its entirety. Here's what we saw this morning. Democrats

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: from the get go, the minute Anthony Kennedy was out,

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: there was nobody that Donald Trump ever picked to be

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice that was going to be acceptable

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: to them. So we went through an entire morning and

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Professor Ford gave her testimony and it pretty much went

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: like this when the Democrats when they spoke, we believe

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: everything you said from thirty six years ago. We love you,

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: you are a hero. I know you only remembered it

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: six years ago. Um, there's zero corroboration to anything she said.

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: A few inconsistencies that will highlight throughout the day. Here

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: today is Judge Kavanaugh announced sits down. And you know

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: the difference between Judge Kavanaugh and you watch the difference

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: and treatment now with the Democrats and how aggressive they get.

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I doubt they're going to spend a lot of time

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: highlighting that there is a witness that was in the room,

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: identified by Professor Ford, that also corroborated Judge Kavanaugh's story.

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: So we do have a witness here and agrees with

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh that this never happened. But the bottom line

26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: is they've always hated him. They wanted an excuse, and

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: basically there their proclamation to Professor Ford is, thank you

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: for giving us a reason we never wanted to vote

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: for this guy anyway, even though he denies it all,

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: and even though there's an eyewitness that denies it all,

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: and we hated him from the get go, and uh,

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: anyone that doesn't say you believe, we believe you from

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: thirty six years ago obviously hates women. That's pretty much

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: the summary now. I know a lot of people have

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: been following social media all day are upset and concerned

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: that the Republicans gave up their time and they had

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: a woman asking questions. The most important thing is for people,

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: there was an investigation and it was done by the

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee, and the four people that were mentioned

40
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: by Professor Ford all gave statements to the Senate Judiciary Committee,

41
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: but we had to wait till the end of the

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: hearing for that to finally be brought up. But that

43
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: is the that is the only real evidence that we

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: have in this case that Professor Ford identified Mark Judges

45
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: being in the room and others as being at the party.

46
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: The other two didn't remember any such party like this,

47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: And Mark Judge says this didn't happen, No way this happened.

48
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: And so now I know Judge Kavanaugh was gonna start

49
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: with this opening statement. Well, first you're gonna hear from

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: from Charles Grassley, and then you're gonna hear from Diane Feinstein,

51
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: and then after that, then you're gonna watch the Democrats,

52
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: many of whom want to run for president, try to

53
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: put on a show. That's my prediction, and the difference

54
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: in treatment and the rush to judgment and the double

55
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: standard is gonna be unfull display with the gracious Now

56
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: this for the Republicans, well, let's just swearing in his beginning,

57
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: let's go right to that firm that the testimony you're

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: about to give before the committee will be the truth,

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help

60
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: you God, I do and like we uh, like we

61
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: offered to uh Senator or to Dr Ford. You can

62
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: take whatever time you want now for your opening statement,

63
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: then we'll go to questions. So proceed, Mr Chairman, Ranking

64
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Member Feinstein, Members of the Committee, thank you for allowing

65
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: me to make my statement. I wrote it myself yesterday

66
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: afternoon and evening. No one has seen a draft or

67
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: it except for one of my former law clerks. This

68
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: is my statement. Less than two weeks ago, Dr Ford

69
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: publicly accused me of committing wrongdoing at an event more

70
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: than thirty six years ago when we were both in

71
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: high school. I denied the allegation immediately, categorically and unequivocally.

72
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: All four people allegedly at the event, including Dr Ford's

73
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: longtime friend, Miss Kaiser, have said they recalled no such event.

74
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: Her longtime friend, Miss Kaiser said, under penalty of felony,

75
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: that she doesn't not know me and does not believe

76
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: she ever saw me at a party ever. Here's the

77
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: quote from Miss Kaiser's attorney's letter. Quote. Simply put, miss

78
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Kaiser does not know Mr kavanall, and she has no

79
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where

80
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: he was present with or without Dr Ford end quote.

81
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Think about that fact. The day after the allegation appeared,

82
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: I told this committee that I wanted a hearing as

83
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: soon as possible to clear my name. I demanded a

84
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: hearing for the very next day. Unfortunately, it took the

85
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: committee ten days to get to this hearing. In those

86
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: ten long days, as was predictable, and as I predicted,

87
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: my family and my name have been totally and permanently

88
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: destroyed by vicious and false additional accusations. The ten day

89
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: delay has been harmful to me and my family, to

90
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, and to the country. When this allegation

91
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: first arose, I welcome to any kind of investigation, Senate,

92
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: FBI or otherwise. The committee now is conducted a thorough investigation,

93
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: and I've cooperated fully. I know that any kind of

94
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: investigation Senate, FBI, Montgomery County Police, whatever, will clear me.

95
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 1: Listen to the people I know. Listen to the people

96
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: have known me my whole life. Listen to the people

97
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: I've grown up with and worked with and played with

98
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: and coached with, and dated and taught and gone to

99
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: games with and had beers with and litt Listen to

100
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: the witnesses who allegedly were at this event thirty six

101
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: years ago. Listen to Ms Kaiser, she does not know me.

102
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I was not at the party described by Dr Ford.

103
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 1: This confirmation process has become a national disgrace. The Constitution

104
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process,

105
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: but you have replaced advice and consent with search and destroy.

106
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Since my nomination in July, there's been a frenzy on

107
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: the left to come up with something, anything, to block

108
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: my confirmation. Shortly after I was nominated, the Democratic Senate

109
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: leader said he would quote oppose me with everything he's got.

110
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: A Democratic senator on this committee publicly publicly referred to

111
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: me as evil evil. Think about that word, and said

112
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: that those who supported me were quote complicit and evil.

113
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: Another Democratic senator on this committee said, quote, Judge Cavanaugh

114
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: is your worst nightmare. A former head of the Democratic

115
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: National Committee said, quote Judge Kavanaugh will threaten the lives

116
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: of millions of Americans for decades to come. I understand

117
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: the passions of the moment, but I would say to

118
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: those senators, your words have meaning. Millions of Americans listened

119
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: carefully to you. Given comments like those, is it any

120
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: surprise that people have been willing to do anything to

121
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: make any physical threat against my family, to send any

122
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: violent email to my wife, to make any kind of

123
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: allegation against me and against my friends, to blow me

124
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: up and take me down. You sowed the wind for

125
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: decades to come. I fear that the whole country will

126
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: reap the whirlwind. The behavior of several of the Democratic

127
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: members of this committee at my hearing a few weeks

128
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: ago was an embarrassment, but at least it was just

129
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: a good old fashioned attempt at borking. Those efforts didn't

130
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: work when I did, at least okay enough at the

131
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: hearings that it looked like I might actually get confirmed.

132
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: A new tactic was needed. Some of you were lying

133
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: in wait and had it ready. This first allegation was

134
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: held in secret for weeks by a Democratic member of

135
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: this committee and by staff. It would be needed only

136
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: if you couldn't take me out on the merits. When

137
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: it was needed, this allegation was unleashed and publicly deployed

138
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: over Dr Ford's wishes. And then and then, as no

139
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: doubt was expected, if not planned, came a long series

140
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: of false, last minute smears designed to scare me and

141
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: drive me out of the process before any hearing occurred.

142
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff, gangs, illegitimate children, fights on boats in Rhode Island,

143
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: all nonsense reported breathlessly and often uncritically by the media.

144
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: This is destroyed my family and my good name. A

145
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: good name but built up through decades of very hard

146
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: work and public service at the highest levels of the

147
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: American government. This whole two week effort has been a

148
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent up

149
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: anger about President Trump and the two thousand and sixteen election,

150
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record,

151
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: revenge on behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars

152
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: and money from outside left wing opposition groups. This is

153
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,359
Speaker 1: a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination.

154
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: The consequences will be with us for decades. This grotesque

155
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: and coordinated character assassination will dissuade competent and good people

156
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: of all political persuasions from serving our country. And, as

157
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: we all know, in the United States political system of

158
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: the early two thousand's, what goes around comes around. I

159
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: am an optimistic guy. I always try to be on

160
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: the sunrise side of the mountain to be optimistic about

161
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: the day that is coming. But today I have to

162
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: say that I fear for the future. Last time I

163
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: was here, I told this committee that a federal judge

164
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: must be independent, not swayed by public or political pressure.

165
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: I said I was such a judge, and I am.

166
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process.

167
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: You've tried hard, You've given it your all. No one

168
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: can question your effort. But you're coordinated and well funded

169
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: effort to destroy my good name and destroy my family

170
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence

171
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: against my family will not drive me out. You may

172
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: defeat me in the final vote, but you'll never get

173
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: me to quit never. I'm here today to tell the truth.

174
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I've never sexually assaulted anyone, Not in high school, not

175
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: in college, not ever. Sexual assault is horrific. One of

176
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: my closest friends to this day is a woman who

177
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: was sexually abused and who in the nine nineties, when

178
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: we are in our thirties, confided in me about the

179
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: abuse assault my advice, I was one of the only

180
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: people she consulted. Allegations of sexual assault must always be

181
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: taken seriously. Always, those who make allegations always deserve to

182
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: be heard. At the same time, the person who is

183
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: the subject of the allegations also deserves to be heard.

184
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: Due process is a foundation of the American rule of law.

185
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: Do process means listening to both sides. As I told

186
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: you of my hearing three weeks ago, I'm the only

187
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: child of Martha Nett Cavanaugh. They're here today. When I

188
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: was ten, my mom went to law school, and as

189
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: a lawyer, she worked hard and overcame barriers, including the

190
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: workplace sexual harassment that so many women face at the

191
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: time and still face today. She became a trailblazer, one

192
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: of Maryland's earliest women prosecutors and trial judges. She and

193
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: my dad taught me the importance of equality and respect

194
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: for all people, and she inspired me to be a

195
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: lawyer and a judge. Last time I was here, I

196
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: told you that when my mom was a prosecutor and

197
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: I was in high school, she used to practice her

198
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: closing arguments at the dining room table on Dad and me.

199
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: As I told you, her trademark line was use your

200
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: common sense, what rings true, what rings false. Her trademark

201
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: line is a good reminder as we sit here today,

202
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: some thirty six years after the alleged event occurred, when

203
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: there is no corroboration, and indeed it is refuted by

204
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: the people allegedly there after. I have been in the

205
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: public arena for twenty six years without even a hint

206
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: a whiff of an allegation like this, and when my

207
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: nomination of the Supreme Court was just about to be

208
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: voted on, at a time when I'm called evil by

209
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: a Democratic member of this committee, while Democratic opponents of

210
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: my nomination say people will die if I am confirmed.

211
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: This onslaught of last minute allegations does not ring true.

212
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm not questioning that Dr Ford may have been sexually

213
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: assaulted by some person in some place at some time,

214
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: but I have never done this to her or to anyone.

215
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: That's not who I am. It is not who I was.

216
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: I am innocent of this charge. I intend no ill

217
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: will to Dr Ford and her family. The other night,

218
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: Ashley and my daughter Liza said their prayers, and little Eliza,

219
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: all ten years old, said to actually, we should pray

220
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: for the woman. It's a lot of wisdom from a

221
00:16:52,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: ten year old. We mean, we mean no ill will. First,

222
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: let's start with my career for the last twenty six years.

223
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Since I've served in many high profile and seven sensitive

224
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: government positions for which the FBI has investigated my background

225
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: six separate times, six separate FBI background investigations over twenty

226
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: six years, all of them after the elent event alleged here.

227
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: I have been in the public arena and under extreme

228
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: public scrutiny for decades. I worked for the Office of

229
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Solicitor General in the Department of Justice. In I clerked

230
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court for Justice Anthony Kennedy. I spent

231
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: four years in the Independent Council's Office during the nine nineties.

232
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: That office was the subject of enormous scrutiny from the

233
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: media and the public. During the year of the impeachment

234
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: of President Clinton, our office generally and I personally were

235
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of an intense national media and political spotlight.

236
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: I and other leading members of Ken Stars office were

237
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: opposition researched from head to toe from birth through the

238
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: present day. Recall the people who are exposed that year

239
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: of as having engaged in some sexual wrongdoing or indiscretions

240
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: in their past. One person on the left even paid

241
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: a million dollars for people to report evidence of sexual wrongdoing,

242
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: and it worked exposed some prominent people nothing about me.

243
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: From two thousand one to two thousand and six, I

244
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: worked for President George W. Bush in the White House

245
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: as Staff Secretary. I was by President Bush's side for

246
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: three years. It was entrusted with the nation's most sensitive secrets.

247
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: I traveled on Air Force one all over the country

248
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: and the world with President Bush. I went everywhere with him,

249
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: from Texas to Pakistan, from Alaska to Australia, from Buckingham

250
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: Palace to the Vatican. Three years in the West Wing,

251
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: five and a half years in the White House. I

252
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: was then nominated to be a judge on the d

253
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: C Circuit. I was thoroughly vetted by the White House,

254
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: the FBI, the American Bar Association, and this committee. I

255
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 1: sat before this committee for two thorough confirmation hearings in

256
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: two thousand four in two thousand six. For the past

257
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: twelve years leading up to my nomination for this job,

258
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: I've served in a very public arena as a federal

259
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: judge on what is often referred to as the second

260
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: most important court in the country. I've handled some of

261
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: the most significant and sensitive cases affecting the lives and

262
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: liberties of the American people. I have been a good judge,

263
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: and for this nomination. Another FBI background investigation, another American

264
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Bar Association investigation, thirty one hours of hearings, senator meetings,

265
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: twelve written questions, more than all previous Supreme Court nominees combined,

266
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: throughout that entire time, throughout my fifty three years and

267
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: seven months on this earth until last week, no one

268
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: ever accused me of any kind of sexual misconduct. No

269
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: one ever. A lifetime, a lifetime of public service and

270
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: a lifetime of high profile public service at the highest

271
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: levels of American government, and never a hint of anything

272
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: of this kind. And that's because nothing of this kind

273
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: ever happened. Second, let's turn to specifics. I categorically and

274
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: unequivocally deny the allegation against me by Dr Ford. I

275
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: never had any sexual or physical encounter of any kind

276
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: with Dr Ford. I never attended to gathering like the

277
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: one Dr Ford describes in her allegation. I've never sexually

278
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: assaulted Dr Ford or anyone. Again, I am not questioning

279
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: that Dr Ford may have been sexually assaulted by some

280
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: person in some place at some time, but I've never

281
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: done that to her or to anyone. Dr Ford's allegations

282
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: stems from a party that she alleges occurred during the

283
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: summer of thirty six years ago. I was seventeen years

284
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: old between my junior and senior years of high school

285
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: at Georgetown Prep, a rigorous all boys Catholics Jesuit high

286
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: school in Rockville, Maryland. When my friends and I spent

287
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: time together at parties on weekends, it was usually with

288
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: friends from nearby Catholic all girls school High School, Stone Ridge,

289
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: Holy Child, Visitation, Immaculotta Holy Cross. Dr Ford did not

290
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: attend one of those schools. She attended an independent private

291
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: school named Holton Arms, and she was a year behind me.

292
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: She and I did not travel in the same social circles.

293
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: It is possible that we met at some point at

294
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: some events, although I do not recall that. To repeat,

295
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: all of the people identified by Dr Ford as being

296
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: president at the party have said they do not remember

297
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: any such party ever happening. Importantly, her friend Ms. Kaiser

298
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: has not only denied knowledge of the party. Miss Kaiser said,

299
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: under penalty of felony, she does not know me, does

300
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: not recall ever being at a party with me. Ever,

301
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: and my two male friends who are allegedly there, who

302
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: knew me well, have told this committee, under penalty of felony,

303
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: that they do not recall any such party and that

304
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: I never did or would do anything like this. Dr

305
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: Ford's allegation is not merely uncorroborated, it is refuted by

306
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: the very people she says we're there, including by a

307
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: longtime friend of hers. Refuted h Third, Dr Ford has

308
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: said that this event occurred at a house near Columbia

309
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: Country Club, which is at the corner of Connecticut Avenue

310
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: in East West Highway in Chevy Chase, Maryland. In her

311
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: letter to Center of fine Stein, she said that there

312
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: were four other people at the house, but none of

313
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: those people nor I lived near Columbia Country Club. As

314
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: of the summer of nine two, Dr Ford was fifteen

315
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: and could not drive yet, and she did not live

316
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: near Columbia Country Club. She says confidently that she had

317
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: one beer at the party, but she does not say

318
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: how she got to the house in question, or how

319
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: she got home, or whose house it was. Fourth. I've

320
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: submitted to this committee detailed calendars recording my activities in

321
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: the summer of two. Why did I keep calendars. My

322
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: dad started to keeping detailed calendars of his life in

323
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: he did so it's both the calendar and a diary.

324
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: It's a very organized guy. To put it mild way, Yeah,

325
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: Christmas time we sit around and he gales with the

326
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: old stories, old milestones, old weddings, old events from his

327
00:25:51,880 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: CALENDARSKA in ninth grade. In ninth grade. In night, I

328
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: started keeping counters my own for me. Also, it's both

329
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: a calendar and a diary. I've kept such calendars diaries

330
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: for the last thirty eight years. Mine are not as

331
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: good as my dad's in some years and when I

332
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: was a kid. The calendars are about what you would

333
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: expect from a kid, some goofy parts, some embarrassing parts.

334
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: But I did have the summer of two documented pretty well.

335
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: The event described by Dr Ford presumably happened on a weekend,

336
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: because I believe everyone worked and had jobs in the summers,

337
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: and in any event, a drunken early evening event of

338
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: the kind she describes presumably happened on a weekend. If

339
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: it was a weekend. My calendar show that I was

340
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: out of town almost every weekend night before football training

341
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: camp started in late August. The only weekend nights that

342
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: I was in d C. Where Friday June four, when

343
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: I was with my dad at a pro golf tournament

344
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: and had my high school achievement test at eight thirty

345
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: the next morning. I also was in d C on

346
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: Saturday night, August seven, but I was at a small

347
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: gathering at Becky's house in Rockville with Matt, Denise, Laurie,

348
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: and Jenny. Their names are all listed on my calendar.

349
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: I won't use their last names here. And then on

350
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: the weekend of August I was staying at the Garrets

351
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: with Pat and Chris as we did final preparations for

352
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: football training camp that began on Sunday. As the calendars

353
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: confirm the what that weekend before brutal football training camp

354
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: schedule was no time for parties. So let me emphasize

355
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: this point. If the party described by Dr Ford happened

356
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: in the summer on a weekend night, my calendar shows

357
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: all but definitively that I was not there during the

358
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: weekdays in the summer of two. As you can see,

359
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: I was out of town for two weeks of the

360
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: summer for a trip to the beach with friends and

361
00:28:53,400 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: at the legendary five star basketball camp in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.

362
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: When I was in town, I spent much of my

363
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: time working, working out, lifting weights, playing basketball, or hanging

364
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: out and having some beers with friends as we talked

365
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: about life and football and school and girls. Some I've

366
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: noticed that I didn't have church on Sundays on my calendars.

367
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: I also didn't list brushing my teeth, and for me,

368
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: going to church on Sundays was like brushing my teeth

369
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: automatic still is. In the summer of one, I had

370
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: worked construction. In the summer of two, my job was

371
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: cutting lawns. I had my own business of sorts. You

372
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: see some specifics about the lawn cutting listed on the

373
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: August calendar page when I had to time the last

374
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: lawn cuttings of the summer of various lawns. Before football

375
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: training camp, I played in a lot of summer league

376
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: basketball games for the Georgetown Prep team at night at

377
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: Blair High School in Silver Spring. Many nights I worked

378
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: out with other guys at Tobin's house. He was the

379
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: great quarterback on our football team, and his dad ran

380
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: workouts or lifted weights to Georgetown Prep and preparation for

381
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: the football season. I attended and watched many sporting events,

382
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: as is my habit to this day. The calendars show

383
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: a few weekday gatherings at friends houses after a workout

384
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: or just to meet up and have some beers, but

385
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: none of those gatherings included the group of pete that

386
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: Dr Ford has identified, and as my calendars show, I

387
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: was very precise about listing who was there, very precise

388
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: and keeping keep in mind. My calendars also were diaries

389
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: of sorts, forward looking and backward looking, just like my dad's.

390
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: You can see, for example, that I crossed out missed

391
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: workouts and the canceled doctors appointments, and that I listed

392
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: the precise people who had shown up for certain events.

393
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: The calendars are obviously not dis positive on their own,

394
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: but there are another piece of evidence in the mix

395
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: for you to consider. Five. Dr Ford's allegation is radically

396
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: inconsistent with my record and my character from my youth

397
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: to the present day. As students had an all boys

398
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: Catholic Jesuit school, many of us became friends and remained

399
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: friends to this day with students at local Catholic all

400
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: girls schools. One feature of my life that has remained

401
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: true to the present day is that I've always had

402
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot of close female friends. I'm not talking about

403
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: girl friends. I'm talking about friends who are women that

404
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: started in high school. Maybe it was because I'm an

405
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: only child and had no sisters, but anyway, we had

406
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: no social media or text or email, and we talked

407
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: on the phone. I remember talking almost every night, it

408
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: seemed to my friends Amy or Julie or Kristen or

409
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Karen or Suzanne or Moura or Megan or Nikki. The

410
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: list goes on, friends for a lifetime, built on a

411
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: foundation of talking through school and life, starting at age fourteen.

412
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: Several of those great women are in the seats right

413
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: behind me today. My friends and I sometimes got together

414
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: and had parties on weekends. The drinking age was eighteen

415
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: in Maryland for most of my time in high school,

416
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: and was eighteen in d C for all my time

417
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: in high school. I drank beer with my friends. Almost

418
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: everyone did. Sometimes I had too many beers, sometimes others did.

419
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: I liked beer. I still like beer, but I did

420
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 1: not drink beer to the point of blacking out. And

421
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: I never sexually assaulted anyone. There is a bright line

422
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: between drinking beer, which I gladly do, and which I

423
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: fully embrace, and sexually assaulting someone, which is a violent crime.

424
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: If every American who drinks beer, or every American who

425
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: drank beer in high school is suddenly presumed guilty of

426
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: sexual assault, will be an ugly new place in this country.

427
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: I never committed sexual assault. As high school students, we

428
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: sometimes did goofy or stupid things. I doubt we are

429
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: alone and looking back at high school and cringing in

430
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: some things. For one thing, our yearbook was a disaster.

431
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: I think some editors and students wanted the yearbook to

432
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: be some combination of Animal House, Caddie Shack, and Fast

433
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: Times at Ridgemont High, which were all recent movies at

434
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: that time. Many of us went along in the yearbook

435
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: to the point of a certainity. This past week, my

436
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: friends and I have cringed when we read about it

437
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: and talked to each other. One thing in particular, we're

438
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: sad about one of our good o one of our

439
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: good female friends who we would admire and went dances with,

440
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: had her name used on the yearbook page with the

441
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: term alumnus. That yearbook reference was clumsily intended to show

442
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: affection and that she was one of us, but In

443
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: this circus, the media is interpreted the term is related

444
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: to sex. Was not related to sex. It's the woman

445
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: herself noted the media on the record, she and I

446
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: never had any six sexual interaction of it at all.

447
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to her for that yearbook reference. This

448
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: may sound a bit trivial given all that we're here for,

449
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: but one thing I want to try to make sure

450
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: sure of in the future, so my friendship with her.

451
00:36:54,840 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: She was and is a great person as sex. This

452
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: is not a topic I ever imagined would come up

453
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: in a judicial confirmation hearing. But I want to give

454
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: you a full picture of who I was. I never

455
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: had sexual intercourse or anything close to it during high

456
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: school or for many years after that. In some crowds,

457
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: I was probably a little outwardly shy about my inexperience.

458
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: I tried to hide that at the same time, I

459
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: was also inwardly proud of it. For me and the

460
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: girls who I was friends with, that lack of major

461
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: rampant sexual activity in high school was a matter of

462
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: faith and respect and caution. The committee as a letter

463
00:37:47,040 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: from sixty women who knew me in high school. They

464
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: said that I always treated them with dignity and respect.

465
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: That letter came together in one night, thirty five years

466
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: after graduation, while sexual assault allegation was pending against me

467
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: in a very fraud and public situation where they knew

468
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: they knew they'd be vilified if they defended me. Think

469
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: about that. They put theirselves on the line for me.

470
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: Those are some awesome women. I love all of you.

471
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: Also have a letter from women who knew me in college.

472
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: Most were varsity athletes, and they described that I treated

473
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: them as friends and equals and supported them in their

474
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: sports at a time when women's sports was emerging in

475
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: the wake of Title nine. I thank all of them

476
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: for all their texts and their emails and their support.

477
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: One of those women friends from college, a self described

478
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: liberal and feminists. For affiliates across the Sean Hannity Show Network,

479
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay with this compelling testimony of Judge Kavanaugh

480
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: and uh deviate from our regular break schedule. Some of

481
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: you may be breaking away, but we'll continue our coverage.

482
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: Self described liberal and feminists sent me a text last

483
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: night that said, quote deep breasts, you're a good man,

484
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: A good man, A good man. At text yesterday from

485
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: another of those women friends from college said, quote Brett

486
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: beasts wrong, pulling for you to my core. A third

487
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: text yesterday from yet another of those women I'm friends

488
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: with from college said, I'm holding you in the light

489
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: of God. As I said in my opening statement the

490
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: last time I was with you. Cherish your friends, look

491
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: out for your friends, lift up your friends, Love your friends.

492
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: I felt that love more over the last two weeks

493
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: than I ever have in my life. I thank all

494
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: my friends. I love all my friends. Throughout my life,

495
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: I've devoted huge efforts to encouraging and promoting the careers

496
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: of women. I will put my record up against anyone's,

497
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: male or female. I am proud of the letter from

498
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: eighty four women. Eighty four women who worked with me

499
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: at the Bush White House from two thousand one to

500
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: two thousand six and described me as quote a man

501
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: of the highest integrity. Read the op ed from Sarah

502
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: Day from Yarmouth, Maine. She worked in oval office operations

503
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: outside of President Bushes office. Here's what she recently wrote

504
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: in Central Maine dot Com and today she stands by

505
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: her comments. Quote Brett was an advocate for young women

506
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 1: like me. He encouraged me to take on more responsibility

507
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: and to feel confident in my role. In fact, during

508
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: the two thousand four Republican National Convention, Brett gave me

509
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: the opportunity to help with the preparation and review of

510
00:41:53,520 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: the president's remarks, something I never something I never would

511
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: have had the chance to do if he had not

512
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: included me. And he didn't just include me in the work,

513
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: he made sure I was at Madison Square Garden to

514
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: watch the President's speech instead of back at the hotel

515
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: watching on TV end quote. As a judge, since two

516
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: thousand and six, I've had the privilege of hiring four

517
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: recent law school graduates to serve as my law clerks

518
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: each year. The law clerks for federal judges are the

519
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: best and brightest graduates of American law schools. They worked

520
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: for one year terms for judges after law school, and

521
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: then they move on in their careers for judges. Training

522
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: these young lawyers is an important responsibility. The clerks will

523
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: become the next generation of American lawyers and leaders, judges

524
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: and sent nars. Just after I took the bench in

525
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, there was a major New York

526
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: Times story about the low numbers of women law clerks

527
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: at the Supreme Court and federal appeals courts. I took notice,

528
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: and I took action. A majority of my forty eight

529
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: law clerks over the last twelve years have been women.

530
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: In a letter to this committee, my women law clerks

531
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: said I was one of the strongest, strongest advocates in

532
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: the Federal Judiciary for women lawyers, and they wrote that

533
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: the legal profession is fairer and more equal because of me.

534
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: In my time on the bench, no federal judge, not

535
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: a single one, in the country, has sent more women

536
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: law clerks to clerk on the Supreme Court than I have.

537
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: Before this allegation arose two weeks ago, I was required

538
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: to start making certain administrative preparations for my possible transfer

539
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court just in case I was confirmed.

540
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: As part of that, I had to, in essence, contingentally

541
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: hire a first group of four law clerks who could

542
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: be available to clerk at the Supreme Court for me

543
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: on a moment's notice. I did so and continually hired

544
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: four law clerks, all four women. If confirmed, I'll be

545
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: the first justice in the history of the Supreme Court

546
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: to have a group of all women law clerks. That is,

547
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: who I am. That is who I was. Over the

548
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: past twelve years, I've taught constitutional law to hundreds of students,

549
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: primarily at Harvard Law School while I was hired by

550
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: then d and now Justice Hewayna Kagan. One of my

551
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: former women's students, a Democrat, testified to this committee that

552
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: I was an even handed professor who treats people fairly

553
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: and with respect. In a letter to this committee, my

554
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: former students, male and female alike, wrote that I displayed

555
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: a character that impressed us all. I love teaching law,

556
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: but thanks to what some of you on this side

557
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: of the Committee of Unleashed, I may never be able

558
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: to teach again. For the past seven years, I've coached

559
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: my two daughters basketball teams. You saw many of those

560
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: girls when they came to my hearing for a couple

561
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: of hours. You have a letter from the parents of

562
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: the girls I coached that described my dedication, commitment, and character.

563
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: I coach because I know that a girl's confidence on

564
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: the basketball court translates into confidence in other aspects of life.

565
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: I love coaching more than anything I've ever done in

566
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: my whole life. But thanks to what some of you

567
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: on this side of the Committee of unleashed, I may

568
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: never be able to coach again. I've been a judge

569
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: for twelve years. I have a long record of service

570
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: to America and to the Constitution. I revere the Constitution.

571
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: I am deeply grateful to President Trump for nominating me.

572
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: He was so gracious to my family and me on

573
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: the July night he announced my nomination at the White House.

574
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: I thank him for his steadfast support. When I accepted

575
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: the President's nomination, Ashley and I knew this process would

576
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: be challenging. We never expected that it would evolve into this.

577
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 1: Explaining this to our daughters has been about the worst

578
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: experience of our lives. Ashley has been a rock. I

579
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: think God every day. Rashley and my family. We live

580
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: in a country devoted to due process and the rule

581
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: of law. That means taking allegations seriously, but at the

582
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: mere allegation. The mere assertion of an allegation, a refuted

583
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: allegation from thirty six years ago, is enough to destroy

584
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: a person's life and career. We will have abandoned the

585
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: basic principles of fairness and due process that define our

586
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: legal system in our country. I ask you to judge

587
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: me by the standard that you would want applied to

588
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: your father, your husband, your brother, or your son, my family,

589
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: and I intend no ill will towards Dr Ford or

590
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: her family. But I swear today under oath, before the

591
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: Senate and the nation, before my family and God, I

592
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: am innocent of this charge. Do you have opinions that

593
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: you feel you can express? I think we all do.

Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh. Uh. Before Judge Kavanaugh is opening statement, Charles Astley, UM,

612
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna take our break. Coming up here in well

613
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: about a minute, probably the single most powerful testimony I

614
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: think I've ever heard in my thirty years in radio

615
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: and my twenty three years now on the Fox News Channel.

616
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: And you know, my buddy Goman has called me yesterday,

617
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: my best friend from third grade, and he goes, Hannity,

618
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: I tuned in yesterday and you went through race as

619
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: sex as he goes, I can even say it now,

620
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: And he goes, I know why you do it? I said,

621
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: I know why I do it too, I said, because

622
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: every time, every two four years, when you call someone

623
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: a racist and a sexist and a homophobe and they

624
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: want to kill children, and they want dirty air and water,

625
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: and they want to throw granny over the cliff, it's

626
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: character assassination against real people. Now we have a face

627
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: to what has been a real character assassination attempt because

628
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: he would sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.

629
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: We don't fix this. This country's doomed. Alright, glad you're

630
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: with us our two Sean Hannity Show. I think that

631
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: was probably the single most defining moment of testimony that

632
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. That's Judge Kavanaugh just

633
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: finished his testimony. You know, I'm really torn because I

634
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: have so much to say about it. I know many

635
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: of you have a lot to say about it. Um.

636
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: The Republicans are gonna stay I guess in format like

637
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: they had earlier, and this woman who was I guess

638
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: a prosecutor, UM, is going to do the questioning for them.

639
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: But let's start with Diane Feinstein will dip in and

640
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: out now as warranted, and uh here's uh, here are

641
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: her comments as moments ago. It's my understanding that you

642
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: have denied the allegations by Dr. Ford, Mr. Ramirez and

643
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: Ms sweat Nick. Is that correct? Yes, all three of

644
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 1: these women have asked the FBI to invest get their claims. UM.

645
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: I listened carefully to what you said. Your concern is

646
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: evident and clear. And if you're very confident of your position,

647
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: and you appear to be, why aren't you also asking

648
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: the FBI to investigate these claims? Centaor I'll do whatever

649
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: the committee wants. I wanted to hearing the day after

650
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: the allegation came up. I wanted to be here that

651
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: day instead ten days past, where all this nonsense is

652
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: coming out. You know, domin gangs, I'm on boats and

653
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, I'm in the Colorado you know, I'm sited

654
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 1: all over the place, and these things are printed and

655
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: run breathlessly by cable news. You know, I wanted to

656
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: hearing the next day. My family has been destroyed by

657
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: this senator, destroyed and whoever wants, you know, whatever the

658
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: Committee decides, you know, I'm I'm all in immediately. I'm

659
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: all in immediately. And that terrible and hard part of

660
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: this is when we get an allegation, we're not in

661
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: a position to prove it or disprove it. Therefore we

662
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: have to depend on some outside authority for it. And

663
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: it would it just seemed to me, then when these

664
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: allegations came forward, that you would want the FBI to

665
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: investigate those claims and clear it up once and for all.

666
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: Centaor Uh, the committee investigates, It's not for me to

667
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: say how to do it. But just so you know,

668
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: the FBI doesn't reach a conclusion, they would give you

669
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: a couple three oh two's to just tell you what

670
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: we said. So I'm here. I wanted to be here.

671
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: I wanted to be here the next day. It's an

672
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: it's an outrage that I was not allowed to come

673
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: and immediately defend my name and say I didn't do

674
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: this and give you all this evidence. I'm not even

675
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: I'm not even in d C on the weekends in

676
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: the summer of this happened on a weekday. Well, it

677
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: was when when I'm not at a player high school

678
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: for a summer league game, I'm not at Tobin's house

679
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: working out, I'm not in a movie with Suzanne. You know,

680
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to be here right away. That Well, the

681
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: difficult thing is that these these hearings are set and

682
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: um set by the majority. UM. But I'm talking about

683
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: getting the evidence and having the evidence looked at. And

684
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're going to dip in

685
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: and out of all this. UM. I will tell you this,

686
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: this is going to be a moment. A really good

687
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: friend of mine just wrote that wrote me, and he

688
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: said you know, this is a have you no shame

689
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: moment for this country. This needs to be a mate.

690
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: There needs to be a major national shift and all

691
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:11,760
Speaker 1: of these instances that we have in this country where

692
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: people rushed to judgment and people make accusations. Remember there

693
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: were four people. Let's go back, and this specific case

694
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: we heard from Professor Ford earlier today didn't come up

695
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: till the end of a hearing, and this is how

696
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: it went all morning. She gave an opening statement, she

697
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: said she was certain. She reiterated her claim that taking

698
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: a fifteen minute break by the way, as we speak,

699
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 1: and Dr Ford claimed that four people were at this

700
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: this particular party where Judge Kavanaugh, um, you know actually

701
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: you know got on top of her and groped her

702
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: when she was in her bathing suit and had clothes

703
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: on her bathing suit and she was afraid, et cetera,

704
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: and put her hand over her face. Four individuals that

705
00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: Dr Ford claimed attended that party or Judge Kavanaugh, Mark,

706
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: Judge Patrick Smith, and miss leland Ingram Kaiser and the

707
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: committee reached out you talk about investigations, every guy FBI,

708
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: FBI well, as soon as they got the information which

709
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: was withheld from them by Diane Feinstein all of that time.

710
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: When they finally got the information, the committee did the

711
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: right thing, and they reached down to every person, and

712
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: they asked every person and gave every person an opportunity

713
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: to conduct a confidential interview. And Mr Judge, Mr Smyth,

714
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 1: ms Kaiser all denied having any knowledge of any party

715
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: that matt match Professor Ford's description, which of course bolstered

716
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, in this case, Judge Kavanaugh's case, Mark Judge

717
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 1: was put by Professor Ford in the room. He said,

718
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: no such thing ever happened. There's no corroboration, no evidence

719
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: of Professor Afford that she has, and and and even

720
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: even Judge Kavanaugh said, yeah, of course, every accuser has

721
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: a right to be heard, as does the accused. But

722
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: the accused in this case has an eye witness. The

723
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: accused in this case has two other people that said

724
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: it never happened. The accuser in this case has none

725
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: of that. And all morning it pretty much went like this.

726
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: After Professor Ford gave her statement, then the Democrat would

727
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: come up and say, you're I believe you every and

728
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: by the way, if you're a Republican and you don't

729
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: believe her, testimony. I mean, that's that's the trick question. DA.

730
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: You're saying she's lying. Well, actually, I think it was

731
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: addressed very well by Judge Kavanaugh. She may have been,

732
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:56,919
Speaker 1: but it wasn't me. I never did this. I've never

733
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: been like this emphatically. And then the the flurry of

734
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:07,439
Speaker 1: false accusations, you know, cascading down on the country like this.

735
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's a reason I was telling the story earlier,

736
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, about the conversation I had with my buddy

737
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: John Goldman's last night. We've been friends from third grade,

738
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,959
Speaker 1: and he says, I know you bring this up, and yeah,

739
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: I do. I bring it up on purpose because it's

740
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: wrong what is done every two and four years in

741
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: this country when just as a matter of political normal

742
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: so called discourse, and there's nothing normal about it that

743
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: individuals that decide too they want to serve their country.

744
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: They want to be in Congress, they want to be

745
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: in the Senate, they want to be a governor, they

746
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: want to be serving in on the city council. Even

747
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: you can expect in so many of these races, and

748
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: this is the mcrats m O that you're racist, that

749
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: you're sexist, that you're misogynistic, that you're homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic,

750
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: And if you don't support their bizarre theories on global warming,

751
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: then you want dirty air and water, and you want

752
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: to kill children. And if you only support a seven

753
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: percent increase in medicare every year instead of a ten

754
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: percent increase, that means you want grandma to die and

755
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: throw her over the cliff and she's gonna die. And

756
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: that's where we now are. We have this is this

757
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: is a crucial moment for this country because the Democratic Party,

758
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: as I have been saying, is now a party of

759
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: smear lies, slander, besmirchment, character assassination as a matter of

760
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: due course. And it's not just elections. It's Robert Borke,

761
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: it's Clarence Thomas. Now it's Judge Kavanaugh. I mean, where

762
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: does this guy ever go to get away from this

763
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life? You know, when you

764
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: go through this slowly and you go through the guy

765
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: that's past six background checks, you know, all of every

766
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: single person that seems to know him throughout the last

767
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: forty years, everybody says the most wonderful things about him.

768
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: He's never faced until twelve thirteen days ago, any allegation

769
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: of this nature of any kind. The Democrats playing games,

770
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: holding onto this information since July. You know, we know

771
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: what they all are. You know, in the case of

772
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: Professor Ford, she can't remember a date, a location, even

773
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: the exact year of the alleged incident. She can't remember

774
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: what happened before or after the incident. The four witnesses

775
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: the Ford listed to co operate her claims all deny

776
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: what she's saying, including somebody she put in the room

777
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: at the time the alleged incident happened. And you know,

778
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Republicans have actually for once done the right thing. I

779
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: didn't particularly like this morning the way it was handled

780
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: by know why they handled it that way, because if

781
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: they started asking tough questions of Professor Ford, they are

782
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: the first thing out of any Democrats. They hate women.

783
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: They don't believe her. It may actually be more nuanced

784
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: than that. And I can't get into the mind of anybody,

785
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not attacking anybody here. I've said all along

786
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: that she should have the right to speak. Republicans have

787
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: said that, the President have said it. But we've seen

788
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: this rush to judgment also so many different times. That's

789
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: why I spent time twice on this program and on

790
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: TV this week, explaining a pivotal, key moment that changed

791
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: my life. When I was in Atlanta and I was

792
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: on radio in Atlanta, and it was the year I

793
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: came to Fox. But the it was a summer Olympics

794
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: were in Atlanta, and Richard Jewel fet the profile of

795
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: the sole bomber because the loan bomber he lived with

796
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: his mother. And then when he told me not long

797
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: after that he had been listening to me, say WHOA,

798
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he's a bomber, and everybody else rushed

799
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: to judgment. Think about it, Duke Lacrosse rushed to judgment.

800
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: How many of those people rushed to judgment? Ferguson Missouri,

801
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Cambridge Police, Trayvon Martin, Baltimore, Maryland. We had high profile

802
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: cases where Barack Obama rushed to judgment. These are real people,

803
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: real families, real names. These are real, scirreless accusations. You've

804
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: got to have some evidence. We're talking about fifteen sixteen

805
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: year old kids thirty six years ago, and in Professor

806
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Ford's case, he didn't remember it until six years ago.

807
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,479
Speaker 1: There's a thirty year period of time in between. There

808
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: and in that time people have gotten to know and

809
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: work with Judge Kavanaugh, and they have very different things

810
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: to say. Here's why it's so important. You know, we've

811
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: got an election in forty days, and there literally is

812
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: a party that does not believe in due process, does

813
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: not believe in our fundamental constitutional rights. They don't believe

814
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: in one of our core principles, which is the presumption

815
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: of innocence. You know, I watched this man, and I

816
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: you see the pain and agony that this man has endured.

817
01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: There's no evidence here in this case, there's zero corrobor ration.

818
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: After all we've heard today, and I can go through

819
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: case number two, in case number three, in case number four,

820
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: and how many of these senators say, well, men shut up.

821
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: But then also what else did they say? You know,

822
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: they said what they said, Oh, I have to believe her,

823
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: But that's also saying you don't believe him. All Right,

824
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to. We're gonna get

825
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: back to the testimony, and they're in a fifteen minute break,

826
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: will be going in and out throughout the afternoon. We'll

827
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: have other guests and we'll get some calls in as well.

828
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen more compelling testimony. And

829
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: this will be This is going to be history. This

830
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: is going to be referred to for decades and decades

831
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: and decades to come. And you watch the Democrats are

832
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: in the room right now, plotting, planning, scheming, many with

833
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: presidential ambitions, how they can hurt Judge Kavanaugh after that

834
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: compelling testimony that is, and you'll see the difference in

835
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: how they treat Judge Kavanaugh versus how they treated Professor Ford,

836
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: because they've made up their mind before he was ever appointed.

837
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: A lot of them didn't matter who that Donald Trump

838
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: was gonna pick. They want to stop this at all costs,

839
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: and they've shown themselves to be you know that they

840
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: won't stoop to any there's no law now, all right,

841
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: the Kvinah, the Kavanaugh hearings are about to start up again.

842
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: When it does, when it gets interesting, we'll bring all

843
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 1: of that to you. You know, there's just so much

844
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to get to in terms of as I watched this

845
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: this all unfold, and I'm thinking that this is so

846
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: much This is much much bigger than what we're just

847
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: dealing with today. And and today, obviously you hear from

848
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: Professor Ford and now we're hearing from from Judge having

849
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: on what was a passionate, passionate, emotional rebuttal. Let's just

850
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: dip in. Here's Pat Lahy for a second. Thank you,

851
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: miss chairman. Judge you said before and again today that

852
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Mark Judge was a close friend of yours in high school. Now,

853
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Dr Ford, as you know, I said that he was

854
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: in the room when she was attacked. She also says

855
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: you were too. Unfortunately, the FBI has never interviewed him. Um,

856
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: we'll not be able to have his attendance here. The

857
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: chairman refuses to call him. If she's saying Mark Judge

858
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: was in the room, then he should be in the

859
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: room here today. Uh, I'll take a usual break here. UM,

860
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: we'll get back to some of this. I think the

861
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Democrats were so taken back ac by that powerful testimony

862
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: that they probably are now. They probably bewildered because their

863
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: plan just went out the window. We'll see how that

864
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: unfolds as we continue. Glad you with a Shawan Hannity

865
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: show in d C. Alright now till the top of

866
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the hour, if you're just joining us. A powerful one

867
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: hour opening statement by Judge Kavanaugh in a rebuttal against

868
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: the accusations made by Professor Ford. Republicans have opted again

869
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: this afternoon to well, that's the Senate Judiciary Committee in

870
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: the Republican leadership to use the services having retained Rachel Mitchell.

871
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: She is an Arizona prosecutor specializing insects crimes. Uh, not

872
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: only to question Professor Ford, but also in this particular case,

873
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh. Uh. Just moments ago, Pat Lahy and the

874
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Judge got into it, listened to this. Mark Judge was

875
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: a close friend of yours in high school. Now, Dr Ford,

876
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: as you know, I said that he was in the

877
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: room when she was attacked. She also says you were too. Unfortunately,

878
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: the FBI has never interviewed him. Um, we would not

879
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: be able to have his attendance here. The chairman refuses

880
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: to call him. If she's saying Mark Judge was in

881
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: the room, then then he should be in the room

882
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:32,839
Speaker 1: here today. Uh, would you want him called as a witness?

883
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Center This allegation came into the committee, I mean just

884
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: asking the question, would you want him to be here

885
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: as a witness. He's already provided sworn testimony of the committee.

886
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: This allegation has been hidden by the committee members it

887
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,799
Speaker 1: hasn't been It has not been investigated by the FBI.

888
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 1: The committee has refused allowed to be. It was dropped

889
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: on us. He was sprung. It was not investigatd by

890
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: the and he has not been called. We might be

891
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: should have been handled in the Duke Course centator when

892
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: he came in, I would I would disagree with that.

893
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: I've been on this committee forty four years, both Republicans

894
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: and Democrats. I've never seen somebody that critical and not

895
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: allowed to be here to call to be test fighter

896
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: at FBI backward. But he said, he's provided sword and testimony,

897
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: and the center is Sarah, let me let me finish.

898
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: He uh, the the allegation came in weeks ago and

899
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: nothing was done with it by the ranking member, and

900
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: then it's sprung on me. I've heard your your line

901
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: and you you stayed over and over again, and I

902
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: have that well in mind. But let me ask you this.

903
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: He authored a book type Wasted Tales of a Jed

904
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: X Drunk. He references a bar kavada vomiting and someone's

905
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: card during beach weekend and passing out. Is that you

906
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: he's talking about? Center Mark, Judge, was your knowledge is

907
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: that you he's talking about. I'll explain if you let

908
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:13,639
Speaker 1: me proceed, please. Mark Judge was a friend of ours

909
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: in high school who developed a very serious drinking problem,

910
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: an addiction problem that lasted decades and was very difficult

911
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: for him to escape from. And uh, he nearly died

912
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: and then he developed then he had leukemia as well

913
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: on top of it. Now, as part of his therapy

914
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: or part of his coming to grips with sobriety, he

915
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 1: wrote a book that is a fictionalized book, uh, and

916
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: an account. I think he picked out names of friends

917
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: of ours to throw them in as kind of close

918
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: to what for characters in the book. So we can

919
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: sit here. We can sit here and you're like, make

920
01:10:57,800 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 1: fun of some guy who has an addiction and make

921
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 1: don't think that really. Uh, it's trying to get a

922
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 1: straight answer from you under oath. Are you cavanaugh that

923
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: he's referring to yes or no that he'd have to

924
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 1: ask him? Well, I agree with you there, and that's

925
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: why I wish that the chairman had him here under oath.

926
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: Now you've talked about your yearbook. Uh. In your yearbook, Uh,

927
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: you talked about drinking and sexual exploits. Did you not sena.

928
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,839
Speaker 1: Let me let me take a step back and explain.

929
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: UH high school, I was number one in the class,

930
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: and I thought, no, no, no, no, no, got this up.

931
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about my No, no, I'm

932
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 1: gonna have to answer. I'm gonna talk about my high

933
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: school record. If you're gonna sit here and mock me.

934
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: We we were. I think we were all very fair

935
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: to Dr Ford. Shouldn't we be? You just as fair

936
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: to Judge Kevin. I busted my button academics. I won't

937
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: to always try to do the best I could, so

938
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: I recall I finished one in the class first UH

939
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: in freshman and junior year, right up at the top

940
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: with Steve Clark and Eddie Yala. We were always kind

941
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: of in the mix. I played sports. I was captain

942
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: of the varsity basketball team. I was wide receiver and

943
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: defensive back on a football team. I ran track in

944
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: the spring of at two to try to get faster.

945
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I did my UM service projects at the school, which

946
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: involved going the soup kitchen downtown let me finish, and

947
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: going to tutor intellectually disabled kids at the Rockville Library

948
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: with the church. And yes, we got together with our friends.

949
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: This reflect what you are. This year book reflect your

950
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: focus on academics and your respect for women. As easy. Yes,

951
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: you know you don't have to filibuster the answer. Does

952
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: it reflect your focus? I already said the yearbook in

953
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: my opening statement. The yearbook obviously way a man. He's

954
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: asked the question. I'll give you time to answer it.

955
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: The yearbook, as I said in my opening statement, was

956
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: something where the students and editors, Uh, you need a

957
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 1: decision to treat some of it as farce, and some

958
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: of it is exaggerations. Some of its celebrating things that

959
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: don't reflect the things that were really the central part

960
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: of our school. Yes we went to parties, though, yes,

961
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: of course we went to parties. And the yearbook page

962
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: uh describes that and kind of makes fun of it.

963
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: And as you know, if we want to sit here

964
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: and talk about whether Supreme Court nomination should be based

965
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: on a high school yearbook page, I think that's taking

966
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: us to a new level of absurdity. Ms. Mitchell, Well,

967
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 1: we gotta where now Dick Durbin live here, Let's go

968
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 1: to him. He's now up. Thank you, Miss Chairman touch Kevina.

969
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: Earlier today, Dr Chris Steen Ford said that same chair,

970
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: and under oath, she said clearly and unequivocally that she

971
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: was a victim of sexual assault at your hands. She

972
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: answered our questions directly, and she didn't flinch at the

973
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: prospect of submitting herself to an FBI investigation of these charges.

974
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 1: We know, and I'm sure she's been advised by our

975
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: attorneys that a person lying to the FBI can face

976
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: criminal prosecution. You have clearly and unequivocally denied that you

977
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: assaulted Dr Ford with that statement. You must believe that

978
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: there is no credible evidence or any credible witness that

979
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: could prove otherwise. You started off with an impassioned statement

980
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,799
Speaker 1: at the beginning, and I can imagine, try to imagine

981
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: what you have been through, your family has been through.

982
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I wouldn't get close to it, but

983
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: it was an I wouldn't. I'm sure I wouldn't. It's

984
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: an impassion statement. And in the course of it, you said,

985
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: I welcome any kind of investigation. Courtru I welcome any

986
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: kind of investigation. I've got a suggestion for him right now.

987
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: Turn to your left in the front row to Don McGann,

988
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: counsel to President Donald Trump. Asked him to suspend this

989
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:19,480
Speaker 1: hearing and nomination process until the FBI completes this investigation

990
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: of the charges made by Dr Ford and others and

991
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: goes to bring the witnesses forward and provides that information

992
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,600
Speaker 1: to this hearing. I'm sure that the Chairman at that

993
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 1: point will understand that that is a reasonable request to

994
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: finally put to rest these charges if they are false,

995
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: or to prove them if they are not. You spent

996
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: two years in the White House office that approved judicial nominees.

997
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: You turn to the FBI over and over and over

998
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: again for their work. Let's bring them in here and

999
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: now turned it down McGann and tell him it's time

1000
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: to get this done. And FBI investigation is the only

1001
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: way to answer some of these questions. So set up

1002
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: up the clock. Uh, this committee is running this hearing,

1003
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: not the White House, not Don McGann, not even you

1004
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: as a nominee. Uh. Where we are here today because

1005
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Dr Ford asked for an opportunity here. I know you

1006
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: did too as well, in fact, maybe even before she did.

1007
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: We're here because people wanted to be heard from charges

1008
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:34,879
Speaker 1: that they all thought were unfair, or activities like sexual

1009
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: assault was unfair. So I want to assure Senator Durban,

1010
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,679
Speaker 1: regardless of what you say to Senator Don McGann, we're

1011
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: not suspending this hearing. Proceed to answer to the question

1012
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. If the gentlemen just say this, if you,

1013
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh, turns done McGain and to this committee and say,

1014
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: for the sake of my reputation, my family name, and

1015
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of the truth of this,

1016
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: I am not going to be an obstacle to an

1017
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: FBI investigation. I would hope that all the members of

1018
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: the committee would join me and saying we're going to

1019
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: abide by your wish. It's already been investigated. All four

1020
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: witnesses are on the record. Let's keep listening to do

1021
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: because I'm telling the truth. I want to know what

1022
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: you wanted. I'm telling you, I want to know what

1023
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: you want to do to innocent. I'm innocent of this charge,

1024
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: and you're prepared for an FBI investigate. Don't reach conclusions.

1025
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: You reach the conclusions that they do investigate questions. You

1026
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: can't have it both ways, Judge, you can't say here

1027
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: at the beginning, I wanted to I welcome any kind

1028
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: of investigation. This thing was sprang at the last minute

1029
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: after being held by staff. You know, Judge and I

1030
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: called for hearing immediately. If there is no truth to

1031
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: her charges, the FBI investigation will show that. Are you

1032
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: afraid that they might not? The FBI does not reached

1033
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, you know this is you know, that's a

1034
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: funny question because the FBI hasn't reached conclusion. They just

1035
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: provide the three O two with three O two so

1036
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: I can explain to people who don't know what that is.

1037
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: They just go and do what you're doing, ask questions

1038
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 1: and then type up a report. They don't reach the

1039
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: bottom line, as you learning. I asked Dr Ford. I

1040
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: asked her about this incident where she ran into Mark

1041
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: Judge in a safe way and she said, sure, I

1042
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: remember just six or eight weeks after this occurrence. Well,

1043
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: someone of the Washington Post went in and took Mr

1044
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: Judge's book and has been able to the run that

1045
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: he wrote about his addiction and his alcoholism, and they

1046
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: have narrowed it down what they think was a period

1047
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,719
Speaker 1: of time the sixth or eight weeks after the event,

1048
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: and he would have been working at the Safe Way

1049
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: at that point. So the point I'm getting to is

1050
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: we at least can connect some dots here and get

1051
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,440
Speaker 1: some information. Why would you resist that there's an obstigation?

1052
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:57,959
Speaker 1: Why would you resist that kind of investigation? I welcome,

1053
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: I wanted the hearing glass week. I'm asking about the

1054
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: FBI investor. The Committee figures out how to ask the questions,

1055
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: I'll do whatever. I've been on the phone multiple times,

1056
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: so Committee Council, I'll talk to Judge Kavanaugh. Will you

1057
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: support an FBI investigation right now? I I will do

1058
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 1: whatever the Committee wants personally. Do you think that's the

1059
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: best thing for us to do? You want answer? Look Center,

1060
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 1: I've I've said I wanted a hearing, and I said

1061
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: I was welcome anything. I'm innocent. This thing was it

1062
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 1: held held when it could have been presented in the

1063
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: ordinary way. It could have been held and handled confidentially

1064
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: at first, which was what Dr Fords wishes were as

1065
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 1: I understand it, and wouldn't have caused this, like destroyed

1066
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: my family like this. This effort has I think an

1067
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: FBI investigation will help all of us on both sides

1068
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: of the issue. Senator Graham asked for the floor, but

1069
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: before he does, it seems to me that if you

1070
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: want to know something. You got the witness right here

1071
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: to to ask him. And secondly, if you want an

1072
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: FBI report, you can ask for it yourself. I've appened

1073
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: along the Sean Hannity Show Network. You don't want to

1074
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 1: miss this. We're gonna pass on our next break. Uh,

1075
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: we're about a minute behind. Listen to Lindsey Graham at nine.

1076
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: On the night of July the ninth, the day you

1077
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: were nominated to the Supreme Court by President Trump, Senator

1078
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: Schumer said twenty three minutes after your nomination, I will

1079
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: oppose Judge Kavanalla's nomination with everything I have. I have

1080
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 1: a bipartisan I hope a by Parson majority will do

1081
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 1: the same. The stakes are simply too high for anything less. Well,

1082
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: if you weren't aware of it, you are now. Did

1083
01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:00,719
Speaker 1: you meet with Senator Diane Feinstein on August I didn't

1084
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: meet with center Fine. Did you know that her staff

1085
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: had already recommended a lawyer to DOTR. Ford. I did

1086
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: not know that. Did you know that her and her

1087
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: staff had this allegation allegations for over twenty days? I

1088
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 1: did not know that at the time. If you wanted

1089
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: an FBI investigation, you could have come to us. What

1090
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: you want to do is destroy this guy's life. Hold

1091
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 1: this seat open and hope you win in You've said that,

1092
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: not me. You've got nothing to apologize for. When you

1093
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 1: see Sodomyn Kagan, tell him that Lindsay said, Oh, because

1094
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 1: I voted for them, I would never do to them

1095
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,679
Speaker 1: what you've done to this guy. This is the most

1096
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: unethical sham since I've been in politics, And if you

1097
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell

1098
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy. Are

1099
01:21:55,840 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: you a gang rapist? No? I cannot imagine what you

1100
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: and your family have gone through. Boy, y all want power. God,

1101
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: I hope you never get it. I hope the American

1102
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: people can see through this sham that you knew about

1103
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: it and you held it. You had no intention or

1104
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: protecting doctor fort none. She's as much of a victim

1105
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: as you are. God. I hate to say it because

1106
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: these have been my friends, but let me tell you

1107
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:31,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to this, you're looking for a fair process.

1108
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: You came to the wrong town at the wrong time.

1109
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: My friend, do you consider this a job interview? The

1110
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,440
Speaker 1: advice and consented role is like a job you've considered

1111
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: that you've been through a job interview. I've been through

1112
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: a process of advice and consent under the Constitution. Which

1113
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: would you say you've been through hell? I've been through

1114
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 1: hell and then some. This is not a job interview. Yeah,

1115
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 1: this is hell. This this, this is going to destroy

1116
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: the ability of good people to come forward because of

1117
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: that's crap. Your high school, your book. You have interacted

1118
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: with professional women all your life, not one accusation. You're

1119
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: supposed to be Bill Cosby when you're a junior and

1120
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: senior and high school and all of a sudden you

1121
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:29,600
Speaker 1: got over it. It's spend. My understanding that if you

1122
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: drug women and rape them for two years in high school,

1123
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 1: you probably don't stop. Here's my understanding. If you lived

1124
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: a good life, people would recognize it, like the American

1125
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Bar Association has the gold standard. His integrity is absolutely

1126
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:53,560
Speaker 1: on question. He is the very circumspect in his personal conduct,

1127
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: harbors no biases or prejudices. He's entirely ethical, is a

1128
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: really decent person. He has warm, friendly, unassuming he's the

1129
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: nicest person the A B. A. One thing I can

1130
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: tell you you should be proud of Ashley. You should

1131
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: be proud of this that you raised a daughter who

1132
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: had the good character to pray for Dr Ford. To

1133
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: my Republican colleagues, if you vote no, you're legitimizing the

1134
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics.

1135
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 1: You want this seat, I hope you never get it.

1136
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: I hope you're on the Supreme Court. That's exactly where

1137
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: you should be. And I hope that the American people

1138
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: will see through this charade, and I wish you will,

1139
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:49,639
Speaker 1: and I intend to vote for you, and I hope

1140
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: everybody who's fair minded will of Senator white House. I

1141
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: don't think Lindsey Graham has ever had a finer moment

1142
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: in his career that sham of Dick Durbin. Oh well,

1143
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,759
Speaker 1: just stop the thing right now, Just stop the hearing

1144
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: right now. Well, you can't stop the hearing right now.

1145
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: And the fact is the investigation already took place, and

1146
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: we've played Joe Biden saying the FBI doesn't investigate, they

1147
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:25,480
Speaker 1: just give you the information, which they've done six times.

1148
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: And the Senate Committee has interviewed everybody at the party

1149
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: under oath, under the threat of a felony perjury. It's

1150
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: a it is grandstanding, and it's all the same game smear, slander,

1151
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: the smirch character, assassination, bludgeon. If you will destroy and

1152
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: in the end kill off your character. Have these people

1153
01:25:55,400 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: no shame at all? None? There is an eyewitness that

1154
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: was in the room and he said, no such thing happened.

1155
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 1: Nine one Shawn is a toe free telephone number. I

1156
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,920

1186
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 1: I've got so much on this to say. We also

1187

Speaker 1: have some guests standing by Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett, uh

Speaker 1: But I will tell you this moment, this day is

1191
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,720
Speaker 1: got to be and got to become in this country,

1192
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: a moment where we decide Are we going to be

1193
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: a nation of laws? Are we going to respect the constitution?

1194
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Are we gonna respect valued principles such as due process

1195
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: and the presumption of innocence? Or are we now going

1196
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 1: to turn into a country oh guilt by accusation? What

1197
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:40,799
Speaker 1: are we going to be? What? What? Are we going

1198
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 1: to allow a party every two in four years to

1199
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: smear slander their opponents the way the left in this

1200
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,759
Speaker 1: country does? Are we gonna see this in every Supreme

1201
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: Court nomination? Who would ever want to serve in the

1202
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: public arena? Ever? They're not doing it for the money.

1203
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: How are we going to ever get good people? How

1204
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 1: is it you say I believe this one when you

1205
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: haven't heard from that one? It literally debases the whole process,

1206
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: which we've seen a lot of. All right, quick break,

1207
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 1: we love more Sean Hannity Show, gladial with us. You

1208
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: have interacted with professional women all your life, not one accusation.

1209
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be Bill Cosby when you're a junior

1210
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 1: and senior in high school, and all of a sudden

1211
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 1: you got over it. It's been my understanding that if

1212
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: you drug women and rape them for two years in

1213
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: high school, you probably don't stop. Here's my understanding. If

1214
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: you lived a good life, people would recognize it. Like

1215
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 1: the American Bar Association has the Goal standard. His integrity

1216
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: is absolutely on question. He is the very circumspect in

1217
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:59,919
Speaker 1: his personal conduct, harbors no biases or prejudices. He's entirely ethical,

1218
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,440
Speaker 1: is a really decent person. He has warm, friendly, unassuming

1219
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: He's the nicest person the A, B. A. One thing

1220
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I can tell you. You should be proud of Ashley.

1221
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,600
Speaker 1: You should be proud of this that you raised a

1222
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: daughter who had the good character to pray for Dr Ford.

1223
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: To my Republican colleagues, if you vote no, you're legitimizing

1224
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: the most despicable thing I have seen in my time

1225
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: in politics. You want this seat. I hope you never

1226
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: get it. I hope you're on the Supreme Court. That's

1227
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 1: exactly where you should be. And I hope that the

1228
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 1: American people will see through this charade. And I wish

1229
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,600
Speaker 1: you will, and I intend to vote for you, and

1230
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: I hope everybody who's fair minded will The most powerful

1231
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: moment I'd argue in Lindsey Graham's career today, he just

1232
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 1: had it with this nonsense, this trap question. You should

1233
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: turn through drama announcer started the process or just can

1234
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: be investigated. It's been investigated. All four people that were

1235
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 1: once they finally told the Republicans who was at the

1236
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,879
Speaker 1: party that doctor Ford had mentioned where she alleged abuse

1237
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: tech took place. Once they got the name of the

1238
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: four individuals, which was a long time after the Democrats

1239
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,759
Speaker 1: had it, well, the committee reached out to every person

1240
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: and they conducted confidential interviews and they all gave sworn testimony,

1241
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 1: all of them, and in each case, all of them

1242
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: denied any knowledge of any party that matched Professor Ford's description,

1243
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,600
Speaker 1: all of them. And Mark Judge, who was in the

1244
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 1: room at the time, said absolutely not, it never happened. Anyway,

1245
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be dipping in and out throughout the testimony

1246
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: will have I am literally in the midst of this.

1247
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm like chomping at the bit to beyond. But I

1248
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 1: think it's more important that you hear this testimony directly

1249
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:13,719
Speaker 1: from Judge Kavanaugh. And and see there they taking a break.

1250
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Now all right, they're now taking another break, and I

1251
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 1: guess they'll come back. Uh, let me bring into the

1252
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 1: discussion here. Sarah Carter, Fox News investigative reporter. We have

1253
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, of course is number one book the Russia Hoax,

1254
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 1: and Dr Sebastian Gorka has a great article up on

1255
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 1: the Hill today. Uh, Sarah will start with you and

1256
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 1: your analysis of what has gone on here today. And

1257
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a more powerful statement

1258
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,400
Speaker 1: testimony ever given than what we and all the years

1259
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 1: I've been covering politics of Judge Kavanaugh today, I've never

1260
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 1: seen anything quite like at myself, Sean, I literally have

1261
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,679
Speaker 1: been riveted to the testimony. I wanted to take the step.

1262
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to write anything because I've really

1263
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 1: wanted to clearly here both Kavanaugh and for its testimony.

1264
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you people across this country from the

1265
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: responses I'm receiving on social media emails right Sarah, having

1266
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a problem with your phone. I

1267
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 1: had people that I know writing me Greg Jarrett that

1268
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: they're crying during this testimony as Judge Kavanaugh broke down

1269
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 1: a number of times, you know, pointing out his innocence

1270
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 1: and the cold and look, the Democratic Party now, they're

1271
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: not a party of the Constitution of due process anymore.

1272
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 1: They're not a party of of equal justice under the law.

1273
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 1: They're not a party of now, the party of smear, besmirchment,

1274
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:44,839
Speaker 1: bludgeon in, character, assassination. They don't care if it's a dossier.

1275
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 1: They don't care if they call you a racist. They

1276
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 1: don't care if they say that they want to kill grandma.

1277
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 1: They just this is now regular order for them. If

1278
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh was not telling the truth, he used one

1279
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: of them Erica's greatest factors. The emotion he evinced during

1280
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: today's hearing cannot be feigned. When it finally spilled out,

1281
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 1: it was real. It was raw. His anger and indignation

1282
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,480
Speaker 1: could be felt at being falsely accused. It was palpable.

1283
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:23,520
Speaker 1: You know, most people who were wrongfully accused react with outrage,

1284
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:27,720
Speaker 1: and we saw that today from Judge Kavanaugh. Uh. It

1285
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 1: was a forceful and convincing defense of himself. And I

1286
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:38,559
Speaker 1: must say his core message was both compelling and conciliatory.

1287
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 1: He said, I don't question that Dr Ford was sexually

1288
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 1: assaulted at some time and at some place, but it

1289
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:50,520
Speaker 1: was not me. And it was important that he emphasizing

1290
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 1: he did this, that none of the people identified as

1291
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 1: allegedly attending this party in question corroborate the accusations leveled

1292
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 1: a against him. And let me just say one more thing.

1293
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:07,679
Speaker 1: In support of his denial, Kavana offered a meticulous calendar

1294
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 1: that he kept in This is a remarkable piece of

1295
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 1: what I think is exculpatory evidence. It shows he was

1296
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,879
Speaker 1: out of town nearly every weekend for the two weekends

1297
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: he was in town. His whereabouts are accounted for, his

1298
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:26,600
Speaker 1: week days equally accounted for. These records reflect that there

1299
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:31,800
Speaker 1: were no parties uh involving the people allege. And yes,

1300
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:36,400
Speaker 1: this may not be dispositive evidence, but it's highly persuasive.

1301
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 1: Dr Gorka. Like most historic events, and today is a

1302
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 1: historic day in American history, these moments are better, sweet, Sean.

1303
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: It's it's better because of what has been done to

1304
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 1: a good man before purely political purposes. You heard him

1305
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: repeatedly say my family had is being destroyed. But at

1306
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 1: the same time, Sean, we have to recognize that we

1307
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: have been taught a lesson. As long as there are

1308
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: men as brave as this man, who will never back down,

1309
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 1: who will stand up to the calumny, who will face

1310
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:25,000
Speaker 1: down those who would destroy his reputation and his family

1311
01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:31,480
Speaker 1: purely for political purposes, then then America will always survive.

1312
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: So today I'm glad to be alive to have seen

1313
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: Judge kavan Or did do what he did. But at

1314
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 1: the same time, I'm ashamed that there are Americans in

1315
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:45,680
Speaker 1: the Senate who have done what they have done to

1316
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: this good man. Sarah, I know we have you back

1317
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:50,759
Speaker 1: on another line. I didn't want to interrupt you. Go ahead.

1318
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:56,760
Speaker 1: I I think I was done, Sean, like most Americans,

1319
01:36:57,080 --> 01:37:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, just so moved by his opening statement and

1320
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,679
Speaker 1: how he just threw the script away and talked about

1321
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:09,560
Speaker 1: how this personally affected his family, how his daughter prayed

1322
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,839
Speaker 1: for Dr Ford, and how his wife, you know, sitting

1323
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 1: behind him. You could see the love she has for

1324
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: her husband and the enormous strength they have as a

1325
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 1: family to stand by him through what is I think

1326
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: the most brutal political moved by the Democrats. I can't

1327
01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: even imagine what they went through. But I tell you

1328
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,960
Speaker 1: what was even most surprising to me today was going

1329
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: through social media, reading the emails, listening to people talk

1330
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: about this across the country. There are so many people

1331
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: across this country that are just they said they were

1332
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 1: in tears. They just feel ashamed. Look, he is innocent

1333
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:56,719
Speaker 1: until proven guilty, he does not need to present anything.

1334
01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 1: So burden is on Dr Ford. And it's a tragedy

1335
01:38:00,200 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 1: because if something happened to her that harmed her in

1336
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:07,680
Speaker 1: such a way that she has emotionally been debilitated by this,

1337
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 1: God bless her. I mean, I hope she finds a resolution.

1338
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,880
Speaker 1: But there is nobody that has come and supported the

1339
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. She is the only one. Even

1340
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:24,639
Speaker 1: her closest friend, Leland Kaiser, you know, at that time,

1341
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 1: had no idea what she was talking about. You know,

1342
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,679
Speaker 1: under penalty of perjury, signed a letter saying I don't

1343
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 1: even remember that. We have to be logical here, we

1344
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 1: have to be smart. We have to think what where

1345
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: is the evidence that supports this. We are dragging this

1346
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: man through the mud. I think the American people understand

1347
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 1: what's going on here. I think one more point. You know,

1348
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:52,719
Speaker 1: they keep pushing and pushing for this SBI investigation. First

1349
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:55,840
Speaker 1: of all, this would be a local police investigation. And

1350
01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 1: the only reason, and talking to sources on Capitol Hill

1351
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 1: and other people about this, I mean, the only reason

1352
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 1: they're asking for this, and we all know why, is

1353
01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 1: to delay any kind of hearing. This does not benefit

1354
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 1: neither Dr Ford nor does it benefit well, they've had

1355
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: it for sixth they look, this is what this is,

1356
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: the whole timing aspect of it. You know, an FBI

1357
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 1: investigation would not be the standard procedure. We all know

1358
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden knows that we played at the other

1359
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: day the other night. Uh, the FBI doesn't make any

1360
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 1: credibility assessment. There's no crime that they're investigating. Is they

1361
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: have said here and Joe Biden had said at the time,

1362
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 1: the reason we can't rely on the FBI report is

1363
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:39,560
Speaker 1: you wouldn't like it if we did, because it's so inconclusive.

1364
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:43,719
Speaker 1: They say he said, she said, and they report period.

1365
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: So they're playing a game with us and Dick Durbin's game.

1366
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 1: And then Lindsey Graham just steps up. But it's not

1367
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 1: just this instance. It's you know, it's the New Yorker

1368
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:58,600
Speaker 1: magazine that even The New York Times said, after interviewing

1369
01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 1: dozens of people in an attempt to corroborate the story

1370
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: of Mr Ramirez, that she herself. They even found her

1371
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 1: contacting former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident,

1372
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 1: and told some of them that she could be could

1373
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: not be certain that Kavanaugh was the one in that case.

1374
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 1: Then you have the phony, uh, you know, Rhode Island allegation,

1375
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 1: he's never been to Rhode Island. Then the phony Denver

1376
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: allegation or Colorado allegation. Then you've got you know, you know,

1377
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:34,759
Speaker 1: this lunatic Avanati. And and he comes up with Julie

1378
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 1: sweat Nick. And we're supposed to believe that that she

1379
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 1: went to at least ten parties where boys were lined

1380
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: up after the boys had intoxicated or drug girls, and

1381
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: they would line up and wait their turn to gang

1382
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 1: rape or train rape all of these women. And it's it,

1383
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 1: and according it happened all the time. And nobody ever

1384
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 1: said a word to a teacher, to a pair, and

1385
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 1: to a pastor, to anybody. And this is this is

1386
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 1: now what what represents democratic This is how bad they

1387
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 1: want this seat. This is what they're willing to do

1388
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 1: to an individual. And anybody hires Michael Abanati as their

1389
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:24,720
Speaker 1: lawyer immediately loses all credibility, So that accusation should be

1390
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: thrown out. As far as the New Yorker, that is

1391
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,640
Speaker 1: the worst piece of journalism I have ever seen, pure garbage.

1392
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 1: And it was completely debunked by The New York Times,

1393
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: which is you point out, Sean, she found out that

1394
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: she's calling up people saying, you know, I don't really

1395
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 1: remember if it was Kavanaugh. Do you know if it

1396
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 1: was Kavanaugh. So all that remains is Dr Christine Blazie Ford,

1397
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: who did tell a credible story. She seemed authentic and sincere.

1398
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:56,879
Speaker 1: But as Sarah points out, when two people tell different

1399
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:00,760
Speaker 1: and compelling and conflicting stories, the benefit of the doubt

1400
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 1: must always go to the accused. This is consistent. There

1401
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: is no zero corroboration none. There is corroboration for Judge Kavanaugh.

1402
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 1: There is a distinct difference here, and that should matter

1403
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:19,960
Speaker 1: if you believe in the Constitution, the rule of law,

1404
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 1: due process, and something called the presumption of innocence. We

1405
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: see this all the time. People rush to judgment Richard Jewel,

1406
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 1: Duke Lacrosse, Cambridge Police, Trayvon Martin Ferguson, Missouri. Uh, we

1407
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 1: see it in Baltimore. We see it all the time,

1408
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 1: and the same people make the same mistakes and never

1409
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:45,040
Speaker 1: get held responsible. Dr Gorka, So, yeah, but we have

1410
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 1: to be clear about one thing. This isn't about Judge Kavanaugh.

1411
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 1: This in fact, has nothing to do with him. Whoever

1412
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 1: have been the nominee, It doesn't matter who President Trump

1413
01:42:55,920 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 1: had picked, they would have been destroyed or attempt would

1414
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:04,439
Speaker 1: have been made exactly like this. Why because this is

1415
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:08,479
Speaker 1: how the Democrats wish to nullify the will of the

1416
01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 1: American people. This is how they the gate the presidential election.

1417
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 1: And there's a philosophical reason for what's happening today. And

1418
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 1: it's very easy to understand. The Democrat Party made a

1419
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: fausty impact with the Devil about thirty years ago, and

1420
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:30,840
Speaker 1: they decided that the ends justify the means, if we

1421
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:34,639
Speaker 1: need to hold our majority in the Supreme Court, if

1422
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 1: we need to maintain power on Capitol Hill, and that

1423
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,759
Speaker 1: I got to take a break to it. One Sean,

1424
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 1: thank you, Dr Gorka, thank you Sarah Carter and Greg

1425
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: Jared as we continue hang on and sending us to

1426
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: a friend just saying you were right. I don't say

1427
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,720
Speaker 1: that very often. Twenty now until the top of the hour,

1428
01:44:02,640 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 1: one Shawn, the committee members now coming back into the room.

1429
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh was coming back in the room. Um, we're

1430
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna be dipping in and out of it. I Um,

1431
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: there's a lot to say, there's a lot to say

1432
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:19,799
Speaker 1: about what today means. There's a lot to say about

1433
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 1: the modern Democratic Party. By the way, Lindsey Graham is

1434
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna be on Hannity tonight on the Fox News Channel.

1435
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 1: And we're here in the nation's capital. We're in the

1436
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:33,680
Speaker 1: swamp and the sewer, in the stench. You really can

1437
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 1: smell it everywhere. There has been beyond a slow erosion

1438
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: of civility. And there's so much now that we just

1439
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:51,520
Speaker 1: except as standard fair and part of it is slander,

1440
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,799
Speaker 1: and part of it is rushing to judgment, no due process.

1441
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 1: Imagine this. The Republicans got it right for once, They've

1442
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 1: been fair, they have been thoughtful, they have handled it correctly. Well.

1443
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: The more on the other side of this break in

1444
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: your calls coming up alright till the top of the

1445
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 1: hour from Washington, d C. It's the Sean Hannity Show. Um,

1446
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 1: what an unbelievable day this These hearings still continue are

1447
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: and Hatch now is talking about the fundamental fairness. He

1448
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:21,240
Speaker 1: actually said, this is worse. I never thought he could

1449
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:23,800
Speaker 1: get worse than what they did to Robert Borke. And

1450
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 1: it's gotten worse. And I think Lindsey Graham just stole

1451
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: the moment on top of dr uh doc. I'm sorry

1452
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh himself. His opening statement was so powerful, But

1453
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:38,680
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham pointing, this has all been a strategy of

1454
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:43,639
Speaker 1: the Democrats, she had this. They first knew in early

1455
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: July about these allegations by Professor Ford, and Diane Feinstein

1456
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: had this information, you know, Lindsey Graham asked, asked, Judge Kavanaugh,

1457
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 1: did you know that when you met with Diane Feinstein

1458
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 1: that she had already referred Professor Ford to an attorney

1459
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 1: who she met privately with. By the way, the attorney

1460
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:14,960
Speaker 1: is the one that didn't believe Paula Jones. The attorney

1461
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:18,720
Speaker 1: is the one that stuck up for Al Frankin. And

1462
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:22,240
Speaker 1: Feinstein goes into this meeting, big smile on her face.

1463
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,120
Speaker 1: They knew, let me know if this gets out of

1464
01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: control with Senator Kon's here, they knew that this was

1465
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 1: this was in their back pocket and they were gonna

1466
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 1: hold it. And as Lindsey Graham said, this is their hope,

1467
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 1: the reason they keep focusing on an FBI investigation. And

1468
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:44,120
Speaker 1: we'll play Joe Biden again, and Joe Biden said, the

1469
01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: reason why you can't rely on an FBI report. Uh,

1470
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't like it if we did, because it's inconclusive.

1471
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:54,040
Speaker 1: So when people wave an FBI report before, you understand

1472
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 1: they do not reach conclusions. The FBI has said on

1473
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 1: this specific matter, it's not on an FBI matter, it's

1474
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 1: not a criminal matter. And on top of all of it,

1475
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:08,720
Speaker 1: so everybody knows that they want the delay. What they

1476
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 1: want is the election to happen. They want to roll

1477
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 1: the dice and hope and pray that these tactics end

1478
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 1: up with no Supreme Court appointment so that they can

1479
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: get it and they can take it. And that's what

1480
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:26,760
Speaker 1: it's that that's why they never released the information. That's

1481
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:30,519
Speaker 1: why she sat in in thirty two hours worth the hearings.

1482
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:33,800
Speaker 1: All the Democrats knew and they didn't bring it up.

1483
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: That's why they finally forced the issue at this late hour.

1484
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 1: And I think if we were ever to get to

1485
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 1: the bottom of it, you know, maybe these other allegations,

1486
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:46,679
Speaker 1: there's a whole fishing expedition going on behind the scene

1487
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 1: that none of us knew about. And I'm you know,

1488
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 1: if you know I said to my um, I want

1489
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 1: to go back to what I said to Gomez the

1490
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 1: other day yesterday is my best friend from third grade,

1491
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, John, every day in election

1492
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: year in I pointed out something that I knew the

1493
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: rest of the media wouldn't point out, and I said,

1494
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 1: that was Obama's record, because if you say it once,

1495
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 1: it just goes in one ear out the other. We

1496
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 1: don't people listen to radio. You're in your car, you're

1497
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 1: driving home, you get home. My hope is you never

1498
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: leave your car till the show is over. That's my hope.

1499
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,599
Speaker 1: But sometimes the kids are screaming, the dog comes running out.

1500
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 1: You gotta leave my show. I hate it. It's not

1501
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:35,639
Speaker 1: good for me. But the point is there's a reason,

1502
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 1: and the reason is it was so bad. I wanted

1503
01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 1: every single person that that listened to the show to

1504
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 1: know how bad it was, and so I would repeat it.

1505
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 1: And similarly, there's a reason that I point out before

1506
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:56,719
Speaker 1: every election even begins. Now we're only forty days away

1507
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 1: from this what I call the most important midterm election

1508
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:02,920
Speaker 1: in all life. And the reason I've been telling you

1509
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:07,200
Speaker 1: it's important because we know what their agenda is. They

1510
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: want to impede the president, they want to eliminate Ice,

1511
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: they want open borders. They didn't like when you got

1512
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:17,559
Speaker 1: a tax cut, they liked it better. I told you

1513
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: the Bureau of Labor statistics. Yeah, people pay more in

1514
01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 1: taxes than they do for food and clothing combined for

1515
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 1: three years, the last three years of Obama's presidency. So

1516
01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:30,719
Speaker 1: they want their crumbs back. They say the tax cuts

1517
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 1: are crumbs, meaning you know, a thousand, two thousand dollars

1518
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:37,160
Speaker 1: to the average American family. I don't think it's crumbs.

1519
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: And A's somebody that started my adult life with two

1520
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: hundred dollars an old stone bank in Rhode Island. I

1521
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:49,679
Speaker 1: didn't have any money. Those crumbs matter, especially to people

1522
01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 1: that you know, all do all the working and bleeding

1523
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,759
Speaker 1: and dying and contributing in this country. Not these people

1524
01:49:56,920 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 1: that you know on their high Horse and Washington that

1525
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:03,799
Speaker 1: lived the lives of luxury with their own separate healthcare plans,

1526
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 1: not the ones they burden us with. You know, if

1527
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:10,120
Speaker 1: they have issues involving their staff, well they'll just settle

1528
01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 1: it with taxpayer money, but not tell you. Or there

1529
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: are many barber shops, and there are many workout rooms

1530
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,200
Speaker 1: and gyms that they build for themselves and their Senate

1531
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: dining rooms, etcetera. And I'm just telling you that there

1532
01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 1: is something insidious when I point out every two in

1533
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:37,080
Speaker 1: four years that it is like clockwork, elect Republicans, black

1534
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:41,680
Speaker 1: churches are going to burn. Crosses will burn. That was

1535
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:48,719
Speaker 1: a Missouri radio ad or the James Bird ad that said,

1536
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: it's like my father was killed all over again, talking

1537
01:50:51,840 --> 01:50:55,200
Speaker 1: about George W. Bush not supporting hate crimes when he

1538
01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 1: supported the death penalty, the death penalty for the Guide.

1539
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:03,759
Speaker 1: It was the people responsible for the for the evil

1540
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: death dragging death of James Bird or Al Gore changing

1541
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 1: his entire tone, delivery, and cadence when he goes before

1542
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:20,120
Speaker 1: predominantly African American audiences or Republicans are the wrong agenda

1543
01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:23,640
Speaker 1: and goes into this whole thing that he does, and

1544
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 1: then telling a predominantly Black audience they don't even want

1545
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 1: to count you in the census. That is playing the

1546
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 1: race card. And I can go through numerous other examples. Now,

1547
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:39,040
Speaker 1: what does this have to do in the case of

1548
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: Judge Cavanaugh or like like elections, you're racist, sexist, poor

1549
01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:50,879
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney made the mistake of having women's

1550
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:56,719
Speaker 1: resumes in binders because he was thinking of hiring them,

1551
01:51:56,760 --> 01:52:03,040
Speaker 1: and somehow that was viewed as misogynistic and and sexist. Everybody.

1552
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,960
Speaker 1: You know John McCain, who recently passed away. Everybody said

1553
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:09,560
Speaker 1: the nicest things about John McCain, but when he was

1554
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: running for office, there are a lot of people trying

1555
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 1: to call him a racist and everything and much more

1556
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:19,639
Speaker 1: on top of that. You know, here, I didn't get

1557
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:22,640
Speaker 1: along a lot with John McCain and issues, but I

1558
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: fought for him to be president. All these people were smearing.

1559
01:52:27,720 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 1: There's something if your strategy is going to be smear

1560
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 1: and slandering and character assassination and bludgeoning opponents because you

1561
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 1: disagree with them, whether it be elections or Supreme Court nominees,

1562
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:47,640
Speaker 1: or maybe your bludge in the whole country with a

1563
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:52,240
Speaker 1: bunch of propaganda and lies about Russia. You know there's

1564
01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:56,519
Speaker 1: a problem with that too. Or maybe it's Harry Reid

1565
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:59,559
Speaker 1: who says Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in ten years,

1566
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 1: and it goes viral, and then after the election, once

1567
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 1: Obama wins, he's asked about what I care we won?

1568
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:15,280
Speaker 1: Is that ends justifies the means? There's a there's a

1569
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 1: there's something that has happened to the modern Democratic Party,

1570
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 1: there are, there's no such thing anymore as a moderate Democrat.

1571
01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 1: They want to stop. They don't even they can't take

1572
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:34,680
Speaker 1: that they lost this election, and they want to reverse it,

1573
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: which is why the dossier was used and disseminated. Imagine this,

1574
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 1: our own government at the time, our top intel agencies,

1575
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:52,160
Speaker 1: CIA directors, you got, you know, top agencies leaking an

1576
01:53:52,240 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 1: unverified phony political Clinton bought and paid for Russian dossier

1577
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:01,200
Speaker 1: put together by a foreign national that doesn't even believe

1578
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:07,000
Speaker 1: his own dossier when pushed under oath in and interrogatory.

1579
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:10,200
Speaker 1: But if it's a good lie, if it works, if

1580
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 1: the ends justify the means, and we get the vote,

1581
01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 1: we get the votes, and then after the election, let's

1582
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,639
Speaker 1: bludge in Trump with it. Also, nine months in, they

1583
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 1: had nothing about Trump Russia collusion, So we'll leak the

1584
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 1: contents of the dossier before an election. It's hookers in

1585
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:32,880
Speaker 1: Moscow and the Ritz Carlton urinating on Donald Trump's bed,

1586
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 1: Golden showers, as they say, unverified, uncorroborated, and totally debunked.

1587
01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:45,120
Speaker 1: But let's let the American people think that before they

1588
01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 1: go out and vote, and then after the election, let's

1589
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 1: use the same dossier and we'll start an investigation and

1590
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 1: we'll leave it so open ended that we can start

1591
01:54:55,720 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 1: investigating loan applications of p bull that were in Trump's

1592
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 1: vicinity for a hundred days. It is, or let's let's

1593
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:14,840
Speaker 1: bork Judge Kavanaugh, or let's let's let's do what we

1594
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 1: did to Clarence Thomas, and if the first allegation doesn't work,

1595
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 1: then this is what we'll try another one and then

1596
01:55:21,560 --> 01:55:25,919
Speaker 1: we'll take avanadis no no presumption of innocence anymore in America.

1597
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:33,920
Speaker 1: If that you cannot reward these people for this, there's

1598
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 1: not going to ever be people in America that want

1599
01:55:37,480 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 1: to serve anymore. Who would want to go through this

1600
01:55:43,200 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 1: with young daughters. You know, in many ways, I made

1601
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 1: a decision just by getting behind a radio microphone and

1602
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 1: give an opinion. I've opened myself up to this, and

1603
01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people they but there are

1604
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: people in government that do want to serve. This guy

1605
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: who kept a nineteen eighty two calendar of his life

1606
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:14,080
Speaker 1: and was number one in his high school class and

1607
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:19,240
Speaker 1: a top athlete, who has just about everybody that's ever

1608
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 1: touched he's touched in his life, saying how great. He

1609
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 1: is wanting to be number one, working hard to get

1610
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 1: to Yale. I mean I I wasn't as good as

1611
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:31,960
Speaker 1: this guy when I was younger. I can tell you

1612
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 1: that right now, I want to go back to my

1613
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 1: high school years. I'll give you the laundry list. I

1614
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 1: have nothing to hide, you know, but I'm just telling

1615
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 1: you it is. It's somebody that's that strive to be

1616
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:48,879
Speaker 1: great and good and found a passion. And his passion

1617
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:54,320
Speaker 1: was the law. His passion was the Constitution and the

1618
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,560
Speaker 1: very thing that he loves and is sworn to uphold.

1619
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 1: We don't even give this guy the in front of

1620
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 1: the doubt. And I will tell you we do this

1621
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 1: again and again and again and again and again, and

1622
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 1: it's all politics. In all the years when when Obama

1623
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 1: was president, I was so angry that he'd he would

1624
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 1: he would discuss these high profile race cases in America,

1625
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:24,720
Speaker 1: like the Cambridge police acted stupidly. That's rushing to judgment.

1626
01:57:24,760 --> 01:57:29,280
Speaker 1: He knew nothing. Trey Vaughan could be like my son.

1627
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:34,960
Speaker 1: He knew nothing. Nod process rushed to judgment. How many

1628
01:57:35,160 --> 01:57:39,839
Speaker 1: in Ferguson. He was blown away. He was walking away

1629
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:45,000
Speaker 1: from Officer Darren Wilson. But there was testimony that nobody

1630
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,400
Speaker 1: had heard yet from the neighbors that said, no, no,

1631
01:57:48,480 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 1: it's exactly like the police officer said, or the fact

1632
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,840
Speaker 1: or Freddie Gray was beaten and murdered by cops in Baltimore,

1633
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 1: and so many people rushed the judgment fed by the media,

1634
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:08,320
Speaker 1: and the media is just as complicit as the Democrats,

1635
01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:16,240
Speaker 1: and these smerrors in every case, or Duke Lacrosse, I mean,

1636
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 1: it's what happened in professors taking out ads in newspapers.

1637
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 1: No due process, no presumption of innocence, guilt by accusation.

1638
01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:32,360
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of snobby, rich kids. Uh they

1639
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 1: play lacrosse, a bunch of a bunch of athletes. If

1640
01:58:38,880 --> 01:58:44,880
Speaker 1: we don't get this right, we are gonna be worse

1641
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:49,560
Speaker 1: offer as a country because of it. The media can't

1642
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: be rewarded for their failure again and again and again

1643
01:58:54,280 --> 01:59:01,640
Speaker 1: and again and again, and they're wrong so often, and

1644
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 1: the same with the Democratic Party. This is their playbook,

1645
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 1: This is now who they are. This defines them in

1646
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:19,680
Speaker 1: elections two and four years, This defines them in Supreme

1647
01:59:19,720 --> 01:59:25,640
Speaker 1: Court nominations. And the only thing reason maybe that the

1648
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 1: judge Kavanaugh will get Senate confirmation is because of his passionate,

1649
01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 1: believable testimony that he gave today. There was nobody else

1650
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 1: that could. Everyone else has spoken for him, and he

1651
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 1: then and I'm watching Senator Blumenthal now. He already made

1652
01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:54,480
Speaker 1: up his mind day one, as Schumer made up his

1653
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 1: mind day one, as most Democrats made up their mind

1654
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 1: day one, and it didn't matter who they picked, who

1655
02:00:02,640 --> 02:00:06,879
Speaker 1: the President picked to fill the vacancy of Anthony Kennedy.

1656
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:13,520
Speaker 1: We've got Senator Graham on Hannity tonight. All right, we're

1657
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna wrap things up. Um, We're gonna lay all of

1658
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 1: this out with all of the day's events, news and

02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:22,480
Speaker 1: information you won't get anywhere. Lindsay Graham among our guests.
