1:24 pm
by what served i did not see the reserve of a judge what i did see was at the end of the day the politics. that the votes resulted in his confirmation were not votes of conviction rather these were votes of political survival but i love. to talk about these confirmation hearings political survival go ahead well just yesterday better than force session out and. that was last week actually that last week yeah. and we think of bret cupp on on. but he was the one who had made it clear that he would suggest. not investigating this sitting president and that would leave president. free. way to to feel that he's above the law and i'm very concerned that for president after seeing that. he is now
1:25 pm
feeling that he can. manipulate or to get over that the seizure. of our country. session and also. there was a lot of concern that. mr miller will be. fired and he has already fired man the f.b.i. has many of our law enforcement high desert and he says that's because why is this ridiculous antony. that's a typical liberal attitude these people attack the president they don't like the president from day one you don't work with them all they want to do is fight the rise and the president is not only because the president actually had no use that money he did they said that if if the house represented the people if they asked for the president to present even his tax rate cut he would do the same and put the
1:26 pm
house of representatives in the house it's as any i have noted last year the haters are going to hate this and that a way is that it was that he tried to go back in a way that's been they have not gone better than crime horseback and that has action to i'm just i'm just really thought it was a move to low on he would do everything you know and just the let's help and think they're above the laws knowing the president has the rest let them know i'll tell you land all along blocking that's the problem people the liberals out there thinking they don't have to follow the logic i see it in our state we have we have a new mayor there was just elected now we have a you know it's they could come in here saying sure is the word why if president travels say that he can stand in have not and should people i think there's a real democrat out narcissistic you should hear it gently but you can see i mean our hearing yet just the nomination shelf it was
1:27 pm
a disgrace by the liberals and the democrats now with the drive to. the democrats senator frank saying she has that letter for she had it for months and she never brought it out just to play a political game that backfired suggests to me like i international audience response what we think. about the professor who said when she was younger that she was a slave to terrorists or she did by now means now i said i wouldn't have been. you that you like beer that was so i sassed that no you need to have flour supreme i got your ass and that's not easy i had position that i think of this is company because the president is trying to do that all the people that he's with him is still in the position to people that he's no working no no i could just go to position and the physical of the national need to be the first person introspect
1:28 pm
know even if you is the president he's an investigation that's what you don't want him he was pushing hugh for just learn a lesson it's just like i said the liberals do not follow the law anyway but i want to think you have a large employees they don't follow the law and it's going to get worse now that reptilian race is the only ice if so how do i get a card i say michelle you're getting that and to me and to hell type remember i hate i hate what you say let me just play a little clip to take us back to these cabinet hearings so this was just quite recently have a listen have a look brett's assault on meter after a sickly altered my life for a very long time i was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone these details this grotesque and coordinated character assassination well persuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from serving our country democrats are willing to do anything and just hurt anyone to get their way like they're doing
1:29 pm
with judge kavanaugh. so a.j. and son of this was late september and everybody was watching the covenant hearings what's the food out for you i mean ok here's the thing. all of the this doesn't end or start with brett kavanaugh there is a problem in this country that we need to address we need to talk about comprehensive sex and consent education we need to talk about how we are raising our children in this country right cavanagh was. i was not surprised by the result i was disheartened of course but i was not surprised this speaks to a silencing of voices that we continue to do at the highest level of our courts and as far as liberals in a lot of people being of the law well what if they're terrible what and i'm not
1:30 pm
saying that i'm above the law nor is anyone else but in this country there are terrible us that suppress and quiet and and continue to perpetuate power dynamics that hurt mine or. coming. out why not i was appointed tell us a reason the reason he was appointed is that in his writings in the past he attacked a borrowed a big issue that is with mr trump the president should not be investigated and they should be they should be allowed to do whatever. they are being launched right i when i hear that he that's the point i made earlier that the president cannot be a law of the law i agree with that and that's why the supreme court as a reason he now than i it was so important and that's why the who are talking internationally everybody in europe was very concerned that president.
1:31 pm
is leading a dictatorship coming back there and there are questions being. damage it now country just yesterday i want to pick up on that because you mentioned what this means as a whole for the judiciary i want to bring in a few comments so new because as november eighth thursday cavanagh officially took his seat so you know it is timely that we're talking about him on twitter references out and says dr blazin ford has had to move four times and hire private security i know that the moral arc of the universe is very very long but sometimes it is so hard to believe that it truly been toward justice just one person's comment here's another on you tube who writes in that what this means now is that republicans are filling up the judiciary and will continue and then on top of that also on thursday ask having all took his seat we also got news that supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg had fallen and bruised three ribs you can see this week
1:32 pm
from the former senator out of california barbara boxer who says all the thoughts to ruth bader ginsberg other people writing in on the opposite side of that supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg hope you get better soon but be assured we are ready to go on short notice so you can see the debate right there sub where do you fall on what this means for the judiciary and then the country. will be another conservative. or a very there you wish. me well. that's how you win oh my goodness you're talking about a good model and supreme court justice wow no definitely not i think that. hearing. it was all political motivation. i think it was a lot of the reasons that the house because of
1:33 pm
a lot of the political tactics they use is necessary not hearing to instill fear and basically i think you know as. was pointed out a lot of the accusers and i'll be told. by the deficit apartment for lying to the senate judiciary committee about. those are just political plays that some women were making and yes that's that the day with some woman has to go through i don't think nothing was proven. so we shouldn't make false allegations and that's a good. confirmation i want to bring up that many women have taken it upon themselves to go out and fight it because just recently. african-americans woman elected into the just ship in texas that was a good boy. i'm hoping that the people will find themselves or i would love to see more minorities i would love to see more women on the bench but i think at the same
1:34 pm
time we should we shouldn't approve of any future that comes forward without any evidence. or. from getting confirmed we have so much to talk about some of funking thank you time for this i'm going to push a little bit and talk about president trump's achievements in the last twelve months it took a trained festival haven't it's not. my great honor to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations on a brand new deal to terminate and replace nafta so we have negotiated this new agreement based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity to me it's the most important. because we've been treated so unfairly by so many nations well over the world with changing that. so that's actually i think you're going to be best pay said to rid of all of the achievements a president trump has managed to nail down in the last twelve months because you
1:35 pm
are a very much a trump supporter but your mrs sitting next to my right is not so we can do compare and contrast anthony you confessed well you know he mentioned nafta that's very important we travel back and forth quite a bit to mexico met a factor in the process of buying another house in chihuahua mexico so means going back and forth and dealing with a lot of this. the unemployment you know it's at its lowest has been for how many how many decades that's important when i when i bring that up people always say that no it's because of what was left over from the previous administration i don't believe that i believe that president truck had some a lot to do with that and i think if we continue in that. supporting the president but that's the main key the liberals do not support the president if they would get behind the president there's a lot of things the computer and the nafta is just part of my ira. i don't think
1:36 pm
that laughter pain is treated between kind of that united states and mexico i think that he said treating it between business mess their richest man in mexico and some people in the united states that is a lot of people in the united states are gone don't want to be there with the street you know are there to small business they are just closer because they can come. in with big companies so that is not something good for the united states unless for mexico and i can tell you in mexico the corruption and the lead there is that in the end all of these business relations with the united states is now the people that are going to do something better for the country and it's the same in the united states then you're stuck about that big companies we are talking about millionaires we don't talk about this small business that is going to disappear or this month in the disappear because they can have competition with big companies and that is where we're out of curiosity comes know now that i don't think that we
1:37 pm
. i agree. because she said that it's just business between business man and not from the people the same action that president clinton took when withdraw the u.s. from t p has truly was devastating because it's against all the values for the people and it's also was against our national security strategy and security. asia pacific as well so those values that we promote like crime it change promoting environment promoting free demo informations freedom of the net. protecting the labors and no manipulation of the market those. were in the t p p and when president took us out of the t p p he was just a transaction no president he didn't pay attention to the people and that create a lot of and to the people in the area especially they vietnam you can see that
1:38 pm
viet nam now trip to china because of that there was another violations of human rise increase for the last two years since what president had done and our president john talked about to the leaders of viet nam a communist country is the traits he wanted to buy a hundred millions of weapons whatsoever from the u.s. but he didn't care about the human rights so there's a lot of violations of human rights happening and we very sad about that i don't think president put american values in the trade deals that he's talking about ok it's human. empathy but i wanted to pick up on that about human rights because that's a word that's been thrown around a lot online among our community we got this on you tube from steve who says that my vote during the midterm elections was influenced by the current administration's disregard for human rights and for the environment another person tweets into why.
1:39 pm
this is but tita who says what makes a note a nation a global player it's the ability of its leadership to think more broadly beyond its borders and invest in the future it's the realisation that no country can operate in isolation no matter how big its economy or military might and the u.s. has lost that now to give our global audience a reminder of what it is that these people are talking about i wanted to share a little clip of something that happened earlier this year at the u.n. general assembly this is president. in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america so true. i didn't expect that reaction but that's. so sad they're laughing he didn't
1:40 pm
expect that and there is more laughter what did you make of that moment but what do you make of the u.s. is standing in the rest of the world's eyes. you know we're talking about human rights we're talking about the global world and. he hasn't achieved anything in there in fact what he's done is he is he has continued to. bring about this hateful rhetoric hateful suggestions and and pushes towards. divisive policy use and laws' and that will hurt people and that goes beyond the united states that goes to our relationship with saudi arabia and the things that are going on in yemen and how we've contributed to that and that goes with you know the influence of nationalists being elected across the world we just saw a president in brazil who has scary scary politics rather similar to president that
1:41 pm
just got elected so if there is anything he has achieved as he's achieved this ideal or sorry lack of that there of of this nationalistic isolation and protectionist policies that are not going to help this country i mean one of the things only one of the year happened there you know on the do the leaders of the world sitting in that room the clip that you showed and there was a laughter we are laughing stock of the world today exactly gainers prior in the strictures of the. president here. we need to be strong in these could be coming from the top down we are not at the verge and i thought we were going to be with north korea. so and it actually. to be clear at this hour that this is the united nations general assembly which is
1:42 pm

says the gaza rage is due to internal israeli politics. it's important to have the context behind the israeli raid which was as we all know botched. the raid was probably in my view the product of benjamin netanyahu throwing a bone at the ministers like defense minister avigdor lieberman to his right who have been urging a military assault on gaza for years and who were extremely hostile to the settlement that was reached just a day before the raid and so netanyahu finds himself again under enormous pressure from these ministers another important development is that moments before israel bombed the al aqsa t.v. station in gaza city it was poised to release a video showing. an alkie some team hitting a israeli bus with a coronet missile near jabalya gaza's north now if you actually watch that video which was subsequently released by the optics are really interesting and this is

the message that hamas is sending to israel there are many soldiers in the frame they could have easily been targeted by that kasam team but kasam chose to hit an empty bus and send a message to israel that we can do lots of damage to you if you choose to invade but we will give you peace if you give us peace and they abu naima is co-founder of the news website electronic and to fatah he says israel doesn't have a real strategy for attacking gaza. you have a defense minister avigdor lieberman who is one of the most extreme and violent politicians in the world today who has been saying for months that he wants to carry out a large scale attack on gaza and we've seen other members of the government calling for more restraint not out of any sympathy with palestinians but because they know that to carrying out another massacre will only increase the isolation of israel
