>> with google we might have to start separating map off of searcher separating search from youtube. that this is something we have done many times in the past we did with at&t we did it with

dozens of large corporations. so as our right as the people of the united states to structure it in a way that is safe for us. >> i do feel the democratic party should control congress but that legislation it would be a good idea to have a check on the administration with the policies that are done i don't agree with all though you

don't have to agree with everything i just fear that having one party in the position they are right now isn't getting a lot done and it would be best if we did have a check on the current administration. i would like to see both parties getting back to civility it seems right now they are bad mouthing one party versus the other. it would be wonderful to get back to a more workable agreement between the parties. >> i personally believe if you think things are not getting done now, then wait until that switches and there is obstruction with vindication and recrimination against more

and more obstruction. we finally have some progress although it has been done gently and sold as well as it should be that think about the illegal immigrants that have done nothing from illegal immigration we need to address that in a gentle and positive way but it has never been addressed by the democratic party. and we are headed for all types of land locks as a standstill as the power changes hands. >> sally doesn't matter what party wins. i am a progressive leaning toward the democratic side however if you get in there

and want to argue about getting rid of president trump that doesn't solve anything. trumps bases why they support him because he talks about getting something done. i'm not saying i support the president, or anybody but what are you going to do for us? >> i think the democrats should get the house or the senate back just to have an equal and stable floor. >> before congress changes we will care deeply about education policy the higher reauthorization act is still pending and now title iv funding is affected with pell grants or loan programs impacting the student body. thinking about the future of education and the workforce because if we don't provide the right kind of support for students they cannot be successful in the long run in the workforce

>> thank you very much. what a fantastic crowd. i got up this morning and decided i would come in here and give one of those speeches that i love to give and that you love to hear and it is a lot of fun for everybody. but then events started taking place the last couple weeks and i cannot give a rob ross speech but i want to talk about this moment in american history in washington dc i have been here almost as long may be longer than senator mcconnell i'm sorry to say.

i was 6-foot 2 inches when i first came here. [laughter] i want to give you a reminder of the history we have gone through on the supreme court. 1987 reagan nominates ford to the supreme court an intellectual giant admired by everybody in the city he goes for the hearings and they chew him to pieces /-slash and burn from day number one. with deep religious convictions and then to become very devout in his faith and with southern democrats he is an atheist. that attacks religious liberty.

defeated 58 /-slash 42. a few weeks later ronald reagan with advice of the white house not wanting to go through another bitter battle to know what was going to happen nominated kennedy to the supreme court although he was good on some issues but there were a whole lot of issues with values he was terrible about. do you know the vote for him? >> 97 /-slash nothing. and of course we paid a price with someone not being more predictable and three years later president george h-letter w-letter bush nominates a guy named david souter. i remember when the nomination was made i thought i never heard of him. why is he one of us? >> i was called to the white house to meet with somebody

who is nameless. we had a long conversation he said he will be fantastic. he is one of us. i said can you give me anything? >> letter to the editor? >> article? >>. >> that's the whole point he is a stealth candidate. that is the strategy of republicans for many years to nominate somebody with no record and convince all of us to go along with it. it turns out that justice souter was so stealth even he did not know he was a conservative. [laughter] the kind of supreme court justice that barack obama would have been proud to put on the supreme court. a tremendous lost opportunity one year later george h-letter w-letter bush perhaps trying

to make up his previous mistake cheered all of us nominating clarence thomas to the supreme court. [applause] and i remember what happened to judge bork and i wanted to do something to make sure that didn't happen again so i registered a group with the irs the citizens committee to confirm clarence thomas to try to make sure they did not weasel out and hearing that what clarence thomas went through it was tough but all the way he answered every question i knew him from the department of education almost every conservative in town knew him and respected him and

admired him. and then at the end of the hearing when everything was almost finished, all of a sudden a surprise witness , anita hill. a young woman who had worked in his office for several different assignments following him from the department of education. she did not allege physical assault the inappropriate verbal conversations. that would be called boorish behavior but it was earth shattering at the time. the media immediately started to say he is finished he should withdraw and let me tell you there are people in the white house that wanted him to withdraw his name.

clarence thomas is a fighter. i remember meeting with him i don't remember the circumstance but is any of this true? >> know it's not. that's all i need to know. and the day he would respond to the charges of anita hill before he would walk down the hallway into the hearing room. i walked down the hallway with him and there were all the cameras and we can see way down at the end of the hall that there were a chance and noise to be made i thought this will be a tough tough day. as we got closer it wasn't who we saw there like the hearings

for judge kavanaugh people screaming to stop those committee hearings from going forward. there were tourist. those that had saved for many years to bring their family here they couldn't get a ticket to the hearing but they knew judge thomas would be responding to the charges and they were at the end of the hall and they started a party to yell out his name we are praying for you. and then to sit down at the chair and confronted the senators. [applause] i would love to read to you his entire testimony. it was powerful.

so imagine this young man grown up in poverty raised by a single mother to get to the level where he was. but he made one mistake as a black american willing to defend conservative principles and that is why they needed to stop him. [applause] this is what he said. it isn't an opportunity to talk about matters privately or a closed environment, this is a circus it is a national disgrac disgrace. and from my standpoint, it is a high tech lynching for uppity blacks who think for

themselves who do for themselves to have different ideas and it is a message unless you kowtow then this is what will happen to you. to destroy caricature by a committee at the u.s. senate rather than hung from a tree. [applause] you should have seen the faces of some of those senators. senator biden. some of the senators that did not expect this man to courageously confront what they were trying to do. i didn't get a chance but i bet there would have been somewhat spots. [laughter] long - - wet spots. clarence thomas was confirmed to the supreme court of the

united states and year after year are not out of revenge to follow the constitution with those history books it will show because of clarence thomas' vote of time and time again, this country is a better place than it would have been otherwise. [applause] now two years later. bill clinton june of 1993 nominates justice ginsburg. she was a lawyer, an official of the american civil liberties union. her name was on briefs, documents, memos promoting policies that in many cases, 80 percent of the

american people would disagree with. she comes up before the united states senate just a couple years before they tried to do too clarence thomas what are the republican senators say wait. she is outside the mainstream. and then with a bunch of republican senators. and to say i don't agree with you and to put onto the supreme court and then next time there is a republican president. and then with a confirmed of a vote 96 /-slash three.

this is a travesty i cannot imagine what it has felt like for judge kavanaugh to be in that hearing room with the things. almost like political waterboarding that is the confirmation process. and almost all the people i am naming our people that believe they have a great chance to become the next leftist progressive president of the united states. look at senator booker who announced at the hearing he was going to break committee

rules to be confidential documents that were supposed to be eyes only for the committee members. and then release the documents and the next morning then cnn not realizing when he released those there were already negotiations between the two staffs and they were already cleared for release without any rules to be violated. he said i cared so much i was willing to break the rules to get this information out. even on cnn they say senator is of this grandstanding? >> the information we have is that these are not confidential documents. if you get a chance bring up the interview. senator booker gets mad because he is accused of following the rules.

[laughter] that's not true. they were not allowed to be released. i broke the rules. i broke the rules. the interviewer said no. then he said i will release more documents this afternoon. [laughter] can you imagine your ten -year-old and said what is at senator talking about? >> to know the current grassroots of the progressive democratic movement in this country. it is demanding like senator booker break every rule to resist that president and vice president of the united states and to overturn the election results for 63 million americans voting who the president is.

>> senator harris should be ashamed of herself. she was in the justice system as a prosecutor. in california. one of the oldest tricks in the world to expect a dictatorship judge kavanaugh was asked about a case and he said one side argue this in the other party argued others. so senator harris takes out the part that indicates he was describing the views of one party of the case. and said did you know that judge kavanaugh said that he believes? >> and quoted what he was describing. that is disgusting. and when she was called on it there was nothing resembling

an apology. and someone for the supreme court and the left will do anything. you know if you watch the hearings with this back and forth and doing one of the most amazing jobs i have ever seen in my life. [applause] time and time again acting like little not see to shout down the hearings that has happened over the years before washington dc but also what happened before is the senators in the room of both parties would say we would

like the audience to remain cry it or leave the room this is a proceeding of the united states senate you are a guest in the hearing room. not one democratic senator disciplined those people in that room. the things they were yelling is so over-the-top that mrs. kavanaugh had to take the two daughters out of the room rather than let them sit there and listen to what was yelled at their father and not one democrat said a word. i could go on and on senator feinstein was sitting there and in her position was a bombshell letter. she had it for several months. it look like it was an insurance policy.

over at the justice department and with those other tactics they were using could stop judge kavanaugh then all of a sudden the letter becomes public and now we're in the middle of the circus. she could have brought it up in the hearings she didn't do it. all these cases and confirmation battles you know the main reason the left is scared to death that at some point there might be five justices on the supreme court to actually make a ruling. this is what drives them

insane instead of 1 million abortions per year may be 900,000 and that is a tragedy. think about that. is that a baby? >> [applause] that was a god moment right there. [laughter] in fact i would like that baby up here if he would like to say a few words. [laughter] i have some sympathy and praying for the accuser for whatever happened in her life and i'm sure this is a difficult time if you walked into a police station and said

i want to report a sexual assault when did this happen? >> 36 years ago excuse me? >> do you have any eyewitnesses there are two but they are denying that it happened. >> where? >> those at a house but i don't know whose how did you get there? >> i don't know how did you get home i don't know? >> i don't know her or her values but what she is saying is unproven and i would say it is unprovable there are reasons why they have statues of limitations because one week after a crime it is difficult to reconstruct what happened. 36 years later?

>> we cannot prove what she said but what we can prove is that judge kavanaugh's character hundreds of women some that do not agree with him politically on the teams that he coached and they all say the same thing nothing other than a perfect gentleman to me. now no one in this audience where it is okay to sexually abuse or assault anybody your daughter or wife or mother or girlfriend or sister nobody wants that.

i have two daughters and three granddaughters they wouldn't try that with any of them but i would suggest those who have men in their lives or fathers or husbands and boyfriends or brothers and sons should want a country where a lifetime could be ruined by something of 36 years ago to say he did this to me. that is not what this country is about where does judge kavanaugh go to get his reputation back? >> friends, i pray we will have united states senate with 100 senators decent and moral and good as judge kavanaugh. [applause]

now if this tactic works , nobody with our values, or very few would be willing to subject their children and families or husbands to this ordeal. there is a lot at stake a lot of the groups that are doing this to judge kavanaugh do not believe in the constitution and are very clear about that. so to undermine that free expression of religion to keep the right to abort a baby all nine months of a pregnancy they don't believe in pluralism they don't believe

in the rule of law or even care what happened 36 years ago this is about stopping one good and decent man. and when clarence thomas was sworn in i celebrated that night month after month year after year as i opened the newspaper to see the decision where he was the deciding vote. and in a few weeks and to be suppressed sworn in as the next supreme court justice we will not only celebrate that day, we will be celebrating for the next 30 years. god bless you. thank you very much. [applause] [applause] . .[appla]
