senator flake is the one who i think views are very unclear and hanging on the balance, otherwise we will be moving to a vote morning -- tomorrow morning. >> senator from chris delaware in the judiciary committee, just outside 2026 of the senate office building, again, if you're just tuning in the hearing has concluded for the day. the senate judiciary committee back tomorrow morning, the republicans meeting in about 25 minutes on capitol hill, tj's joining us, on our line for democrats, your thoughts on today's hearing? >> hello, thank you for taking my call i just want to tell everyone washing that this is a watershed moment for all of america and what it represents. i'm calling on to connected but distinct issues. what is the allegations resulting in the hearing, is

not an investigation yet, and the second one is the increasing weaponization of our courts, to partisan appointments. the supreme court has the purpose of providing the nation with an unapproachable check on the interaction of the state and our rights as citizens. like that of privacy, the outburst by grandma and other republicans who might i add were too scared to talk to for themselves, instead of providing nothing but support and cover for kavanaugh, have hypocrisy, and that is clear within the past two appointees, they were and are the most narrow partisan lines, in the lowest permissible majority vote, the vote that was reconstructed by 51% majority is, to allow for them to appoint nominees on purely partisan basis. >> tj, let me jump in i want to ask you something because you obviously have been following this closely, we heard from

vermont, bringing up the sense of garland, do you think that is a fact for democrats in this? >> i'm sorry, i do not think that that should matter at this point in time. that was, that happened, that is part of the weapon rising of our course. >> thank you for the call. for sense of what it is like on capitol hill you can see the reporters outside to 26 the dirksen center building, we heard from senator chris being reported by other reporters getting a sense of where this will go. senator jeff flake will be a key vote, julie just out of cleve lead -- cleveland ohio, on a line. go ahead please. >> i did not prepare a statement i am not going to be reading anything i am topping from my heart. -- talking from my heart. after watching this entire proceeding i feel very badly for doctor ford.

there is no doubt in my mind that something did happen to her, at some point, sometime, someplace. in her life. the fact that she really could not pull all of those things together, leads me to believe that it is a bad memory, or something could have gone wrong with her, but i look at judge kavanaugh, and he has people dates, times, and things of the sort. i was a registered democrat, but i am embarrassed. and i am ashamed of the way that they treated judge kavanaugh. >> if you had to vote tonight? would you vote for or against his nomination? >> i've changed my mind completely and i would vote for this gentleman. >> thank you very much for the call we will go to merriam in

las vegas, republican line did you watch the entire hearing, miriam? >> i did. >> what did you think? >> morals, family, god, it is a shame that the republican party continues to be so adamant on overlooking victim voices. and continues to shame victims. this party needs to do better pick >> how so?>> they need to stop shaming victims. they need to listen. they need to see that these people did not just come forward, with the allegations years ago, they were scared and they were traumatized. >> did you find the hearing today respectful toward doctor ford? >> i did. >> thank you for the call, we will go to, eugene oregon? >> hi, being a past victim, i do believe doctor ford.

i do believe that something happened to her in her past, but, in this case, this has gone past victim, it is, the democrats, in this case, and i used to be one, and i have become so ashamed of the democratic party. i do not know where i lie, so i guess i am an independent now. i believe that somewhere along the line i do believe that there was a leak, but the democrats, and i do not actually understand why, they

made kavanaugh and constantly made president trump into a demon. and, they have done this since all this started. >> we'll go to amy next in palmyra, new york's, democrat line in new york. >> thank you sir, the first thing that i have to say is that i absolutely believe christine. i am a victim, i was raped when i was 12 years old. i did not tell anyone including my parents, or the officer that came to my home, because i was ashamed, and embarrassed. and worried, about what it would mean, for my life. moving forward. i am a victim, and i believe christine, and anyone that listened to what she had to say

today. and, her testimony will recognize that she is speaking from a place of truth. and there is no fiction here. she is not in this for any type of political meaning. she is speaking her truth, and brett kavanaugh has no place on the supreme court.>> was there a moment that resonated with you today as he walked -- watched her testimony? and the questions you received from the senators and rachel mitchell? >> yes sir, actually, when they asked her what resonated with her most, and she spoke about them laughing at her. that took me to a very personal place, with my violation.

and, i will never ever forget that. and i believe her. and everyone should believe her. thank you. for letting me speak. >> amy, thank you, from palmyra new york. there were a couple of moments from the hearing that we want to share with you, first lindsey graham again the initial plan was for attorney rachel mitchell to ask the questions for both doctor ford and for justice brett kavanaugh, or judge brett kavanaugh, but during the course of the hearing the republicans asked to ask their own questions including this from the south carolina republican. >> senator graham, are you aware that 9:23, on the night of july 9 the night that you were nominated to the supreme court by president trump, senator schumer said 23 minutes after that nomination i will oppose

judge kavanaugh's nomination with everything that i have, i hope a bipartisan majority will do the same. the stakes are simply too high, for anything less. if you were not aware of it you were now. did you meet with senator feinstein on august 20? >> i did meet with feinstein. >> did you know that her staff had already recommended a lawyer to doctor ford?>> i did not know that. >> did you know that her and her staff had this allegation for over 20 days? >> i did not know that at the time. >> if you wanted an fbi investigation, you could have come to us, what you want to do is destroy this guys life, hold the seat open, and hope you win it in 2020. you said that, not me. you have got nothing to apologize for. when you see keegan, tell them that lindsay said hello, because i voted for them. i would never do to them what you have done to this guy.

this is the most unethical, sham, that has happened in politics. and, if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as would not have done what you have done to this guy. are you a gang rapist? >> no. >> i cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through. i hope that the people can see through this sham, that you knew about it and you held it. you had no intention of protecting doctor ford. none. she is as much of a victim as you are. i hate to say that, because these have been my friends. but let me tell you when it comes to this. you are looking for a fair process? you came to the wrong town at the wrong time, my friend. do you consider this a job interview? >> the advice and consent is like a job interview. >> do you consider you have

been through a job interview? >> would you say you have been through >> i have been through, and then some. >> this is not a job interview. this is this is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap. your high school yearbook, you have interacted with professional women all of your life, not one accusation. you are supposed to be bill cosby when you are a junior and senior in high school. and all of the sudden you got over it. saying, my understanding, if you drug women and rape them for two years in high school, you probably do not stop. here is my understanding. if you lived a good life, people would recognize it, like the american bar association

has, the gold standard. integrity is absolutely unquestioned, yet the very circumspect in his personal conduct harbors no biases or prejudice. he is entirely ethical, a very decent person, he has warm, friendly, unassuming, he is the nicest person in the ava. one thing i can tell you that you should be proud of, ashley, you should be proud of this. that you raised a daughter, that would pray for doctor ford, to my republican colleagues, if you vote no, you are legitimizing the most despicable thing i have seen in my time in politics. you want a seat? i hope you never get it. i hope you are on the supreme court. that is exactly where you should be. and, i hope that the american people will see through this charade.

and, i wish you well. and, i intend to vote for you, and i hope that everybody who is fair-minded will. >> at that moment from the senate judiciary committee lindsey graham republican of south carolina from south carolina, kavanaugh criticism the most despicable seen -- then he has seen in politics. some other heads -- headlines, kavanaugh denies the ford accusation of psych sexual assault, also from the cincinnati inquirer, the city and community watches christine ford, the story is believable, i did not want it to be believable. >> from the san francisco chronicle, the city newspaper of diane feinstein, ted cruz says ford and kavanaugh have been dragged through the mud. this in the headlines including the arizona central, feinstein says her staff did not leak,

the allegations in via xing -- involving kavanaugh and the leak from christine ford. we are back with your phone calls, christie, in colorado, good evening. >> hello, thank you for taking my call, i am a frustrated survivor. i will not say victim, as many callers have before, because this is something that you have to survive. i have been shocked to see women today referred to as a new target of attack, a tactic, as people who are motivated by calculated revenge. when it should be about getting to the information, and not have a place for partisan politics. victim shaming has gone on for far too long. on the republican side, and i

really found kavanaugh to be weak, and lacking in substance. he was evasive, he was emotionally anecdotal, in the stories about his children. while not answering direct questions that could have been answered with a no.>> was doctor ford believable in your mind?>> absolutely. absolutely. she came across as credible. she, it is very common for survivors not to remember exact details. that is because the narrow cortex loop, the feedback it's back in, trauma survivors pick >> while you call yourself a survivor, christine? >> i have survived numerous attacks. i was raped, sexually assaulted as a child, and as a teenager. and, i never let it stop me.

i had to pick myself up, and carry myself at a time when women carry the burden of what happened to them. >> okay. >> date rape was not an issue even until the 80s. i don't even think that phrase was a phrase. until around 87. that timeframe? and so, you would have a bunch of women coming forward saying hey this happened to me, when there was not even a word for it. >> christine, thank you for phoning in from colorado. we will move on to bruce in parrish, florida. we are getting your reaction to the hearing which began just after 10:00 i am this evening, -- this morning, wrapped up about a half hour ago. go ahead, bruce. >> thank you very much a couple of things i wanted to bring up, when the office of personal

management is not going to go to the colleges and ask for those badges to come work for the government, they will look back upon this within the first five years and say, no, i will not, because this is what i will have to be subjected to so, we will probably lose some of our best people in the best graduates, not going into the government, and i will put us into the situation which reminds me of the movie meteor autocracy. if you are familiar with that movie it is in the future, where our presence happen to be one of the best wwe wrestlers. that is not a government we want. we need the best, we need the brightest. a couple of things that were also brought up is that judge thomas, and any to they were both probably working for the government at the same time that the sexual harassment charge was brought up, the federal employee that must be investigated by the fbi, whereas right now with judge kavanaugh, it is something that must be investigated by the local sheriff's and police

officers, not federal, >> bruce, thank you, so many mentioned the hearings back in 1991, the senate judiciary, with anita hill, last evening, it is on our website, we will take one more call and then hear from senator dyck urban, from california, your next. >> i find it ironic that brett kavanaugh would swear to god, but he would not swear to the fbi, or even just to a polygraph test, and the other thing is that i appreciate what they said, especially senator harris, who would not let it go about how this did not happen with corsets. you know people want to say that this is a purely political move, if that were true, then this would have happened with corsets, and it did not happen, and senator harris just did not get a yes or no question out of him.

he was a deer in the headlines once again, just like he was when she was asking him, at the other hearing, a couple of weeks ago you know, just i do not know the name, well, buddy, that is your pal, who worked at that law firm, and yet, you're asking all of these questions, anything to answer yes or no, just answer the questions i just wanted to say senator harris, i am so appreciated of what she had to say there. this thing has been so crazy. one other thing, i was a republican for 30 years from 82 until right after the 2012 elections and this is one of the reasons that i left the party, because i saw it fighting into this quagmire, and this is not the party of eisenhower. i think that he is rolling over in his grave right now, and you can be a good person you can even be personally conservative, or moderate, and this idea that that is the party of family values, not anymore.

these guys want to win at all costs. >> thank you, we will go to eric and geneva illinois,>> yes, hello, a different take on the whole situation. i know that there has been a lot of discussion about brett kavanaugh's actions in college and how that is affecting his credibility and all of that right now. and so, you know, it is no secret that people drink in college, whether they are of legal age or not. i have a roommate that does not make the smartest decisions. on the weekend and stuff like that, but you have to understand where someone like him or kavanaugh would sort of drink and things like that. maybe too much, though i think there is a redlined that he crosses when it comes to sexual assault allegations on all of that stuff which i totally believe, there was a whole breakdown, when they asked him, have you been to he says i

have been through a little bit more. >> i am inclined to believe that he goes home, and puts his women through as well. >> thank you from geneva illinois. senator dyck durbin, very critical of kavanaugh during the confirmation process a senate member , this is what he said earlier during the proceedings.>> you started off with an impassioned statement at the beginning and i can try to imagine what you have been through and what your family has been through i am sure i would not get close to it.>> i'm sure i would not. same passion statement. >> in the course of it, you said i welcome any kind of investigation, i quote you, i welcome any type of investigation. i have got a suggestion for you. right now. turn to your left in the front row. counsel to president donald

trump, ask him to suspend this hearing a nomination process until the fbi completes its investigation of the charges made by doctor ford and others. and, bring the witnesses forward and provide the information to this hearing. i am sure that determined at that point will understand, that that is a reasonable request, to finally put to rest these charges if they are false, or to prove them if they are not. you spent two years in the white house office, the approved judicial nominees, turn to the fbi, over and over and over again for their work, but here and now, turn to them and tell them that it is time to get this done, and an fbi investigation is the only way to answer some of these questions. >> stop the clock. this committee is running this hearing. not the white house, not don mcgann, not even you as a nominee. >> we are here today, because

doctor ford asked for an opportunity to hear i know that you did as well, maybe even before she did. we are here because people wanted to be heard from charges that they all thought were unfair, or activities like sexual assault, was unfair. so, i want to assure senator durbin, regardless of what you say to senator don mcgann, we are not suspending. this hearing. proceed to answer the question, or -- >> -- just say this, if you judge kavanaugh turned to mcgann and entered this committee and said for the sake of my reputation my family name and to get to the truth of this i'm not going to have an fbi investigation, would hope that all of the members of the committee would join me in saying that we are going to abide by your wishes and we will have that investigation.

>> i welcome whatever the committee wants to do, i am telling the truth. >> i want to know what you want to do. >> i am telling the truth. >> i am innocent of this charge. >> you're prepared for an fbi investigation? >> they do investigate questions. >> you cannot have a judge you cannot say here at the beginning i wanted a hearing -- >> i welcome any type of investigation. >> this thing was sprung at the last minute after being held by staff, you know, judge, and i called for a hearing immediately. >> if there is no truth to her charges, the fbi investigation will show that. are you afraid that they might not? >> the fbi does not reach, you know that, you know that that is a phony question, because the fbi does not reach conclusions, they just provide the 302 is. so i can explain to people who i do not know who that is, they go and do what you are doing, asking questions and typing up

a report, they do not reach the bottom line. >> this morning i asked doctor ford about an incident where she ran into mike judge at safeway, she said sure, i remember, six or eight weeks after the occurrence. someone at the washington post went in and took a look at mister judges book, and has been able to run what he wrote about his addiction and alcoholism. they have narrowed it down what they think was a period of time the six or eight weeks after the event, and he would have been working at the safeway at that point. so the point i am getting to is we can at least connect some dots here and get information. why would you insist or resist that type of investigation? >> i wanted the hearing last week. >> i am asking about the fbi investigation. >> the committee and figures out how to ask, i've been on the phone multiple times with committee. >> judge kevin i would you support an fbi investigation right now? >> i will do whatever the committee wants, personally. >> do you think that is the best thing for us to do?

>> do you want to answer? >> look, senator, i have said i wanted a hearing, i said i was welcoming of anything, i am innocent, this thing was held, held when it could have been presented, in an ordinary way. it could have been handled confidentially, at first, which is what doctor ford's wishes were as i understand it. it would not have called this, or destroyed my family like this effort has. >> i think an fbi investigation will help all of us on both sides of the issue.>> the senator earlier in the questioning, brett kavanaugh, doctor ford asked that her information be kept confidential. and it was. i only referred the letter to the fbi after it was leaked to

reporters saying basically republicans are blaming the messenger and making references to anita hill saying that the any to hill hearing tonight, talking to republicans not to blame the victim but their new strategy is to blame the messenger. for the ranking elizabeth, you have been waiting from pensacola, republican line, good evening. >> good evening and, how are you? >> fine, thank you. >> wanted to say, first of all, first and foremost, i pray for judge kavanaugh and his family. and, i also pray for doctor ford and her family, that things get better for her. on the other hand though, all i saw was a continuous attack on judge kavanaugh. i did not see any fair questioning. it was constant fbi, investigation, fbi investigation.

senator grassley kept telling him, there is not going to be an fbi investigation, but yet the next person would do it again, and it was continuous like that. i mean, basically they just badgered him to the point where i could see him getting frustrated and it would have as well. i probably would have thrown something at them. but, as far as i can see, i do not think judge kavanaugh did any of this. he thinks he is a good man, he has a lot of supporters, he will do this thing, and, he is not saying that doctor ford did not have something happened to her, i'm sure something must- have. i think she is confused on who she thinks it was. my final point is, that just like they said, this information should have been brought forward a long time ago. and, the democrats are just stalling.

for time basically. that is my belief. in what is going on. >> okay, going next to andrew in san marino california, go ahead, enter. >> hello, i just heard that feinstein released the statements that she gave the letter to the fbi. i think that there is enough evidence, wouldn't have the fbi acted under their own? >> what she said and i will read you the statement she said i only referred her letter to the fbi after it was leaked to reporters, and reporters who are knocking on our door. >> that is okay that is like 56, seven days ago, right? my point is if there is enough in that letter, that you would think that a law enforcement agency would be proactive, and would have done something. and number 2, why doesn't durban, or feinstein or the judiciary committee order the investigation? are they afraid to order the investigation because it might be seen as them trying to block

kavanaugh's nomination? because, why are you asking the defendant, or i mean, i think that kavanaugh is a victim in this as well as doctor ford. he does not want to delay the confirmation. you know? he said, i will do whatever the committee wants, and i am sure he will talk to whoever the committee wants him to talk to. and then, my last point is that booker said some thing about whether kavanaugh thought that doctor ford was a pond or inoperative? i do not think that doctor ford started out as a pond, but i think that feinstein and her colleagues hijacked what doctor ford was trying to do and are using her as the pond to achieve their own objectives which is to derail this confirmation. i think that doctor ford has something good to say, she had an allegation and that is fine. but, the way that they handled it, you know feinstein says, you sat on it for a month. and then you bring it up? something is wrong there. i think that she saw an

opportunity to slow this thing down and they took advantage of it, and now doctor ford might not be an operative, but she is definitely a pond being used by the democrats on the judiciary committee. >> we will go to jamie next in lawndale, california, democrats line, thank you, jamie. >> hi, there was something about doctor ford's testimony struck a chord with me when she was talking about how when they wanted to remodel her house, that she wanted a second front door, and i think that that detail is so important to focus on because i do not think that it is something that you would know about unless you have been in an experience like that. i have sort of the same issues, myself, because of the things that i have experienced. i have a u shaped kitchen, if i'm in the kitchen there is nowhere to escape, because it is a galley kitchen and if my husband comes up behind me, even now 10 years later, i do

not want him to do that. i feel fear, i feel panic, even though it is my husband who i love, i am safe. but, that detail, that being posed in the physicality of space you cannot understand that, and you cannot have that knowledge without having been through it. so that is something, i just wanted to say is someone who has been through not exactly what she has been through but something similar, that detail really spoke to me, and really showed to me that what she was saying was the truth. >> what did you think of judge kavanaugh's response this afternoon and tonight? >> i found him to be very angry and emotional, and if he were a woman react in the same way, i think that the media would be having a very different reaction. it struck me that he did not answer questions, and a very simple straightforward manner, i felt as if he was

filibustering time, so that less questions would be asked, that were critical. and i think that that is why he would be necessary to have an fbi investigation. there seems to be this idea that sure, we believe doctor ford, but something happened to her, but she is wrong about the detail of who did it. details around it might blur, but you do not forget that part of it. it is as clear as i lightbulb in my mind, as i am sure it is clear for her. it does not go away, you have nightmares, that you wish would stop but do not. and, you have a kitchen when your husband comes up behind you you have a panic attack. and, i mean it is what it is, but, that to me was how i heard what she was saying. it was the truth.

it is not a detail that you would recognize without having that experience. >> jamie thank you for your call, we'll go to jeff in salt lake city utah, republican line. how much of the hearing did you watch today, jeff? >> quite a bit. >> what did you think? >> well, first of all, i would like to start off by telling senator greenwich thank you, i think he set the tone for the other republicans to voice their opinion and voice what needed to happen, and not have anything which i thought was well done. in the beginning, because of been described. that being said, i have to go with others have said in the fact that the fbi has done the investigation. it is known that on this type of allegation, it is local law enforcement that takes the lead.

>> jeff, thank you for the call. a couple of references earlier about the information, what the fbi had, the letter and senator dianne feinstein, i want to show you that based on some of the earlier calls and questions, let's watch. >> judge kavanaugh, it is my understanding that you have denied the allegations by doctor ford, ms. ramirez, and myths what nick, is that correct? >> yes. >> all three of these women have asked the fbi to investigate their claims. i listened carefully to what you said, your concern is evident and clear, and if you are very confident of your position, and you appear to be, why aren't you also asking the fbi to investigate these claims? >> senator i will do whatever the committee wants. i wanted a hearing the day after the allegation came up. i wanted to be here that day. instead, 10 days past, where all of this nonsense is coming

out, you know? gangs, boats, rhode island, colorado you know i am cited all over the place. and these things are printed and run, breathlessly by cable news. you know? i wanted a hearing the next day. my family has been destroyed by this, senator. destroyed. and whoever wants, you know whatever the committee decides, you know, i am all in. i am all in immediately.>> the terrible and hard part of this is, when we get an allegation, we are not in a position to prove it or disprove it. therefore we have to depend on some outside authority for it. and, it just seemed to me then when these allegations came forward, that you would want the fbi to investigate those claims, and clear it up once and for all.

>> senator, the committee investigating it is not for me to say how to do it, but just so you know, the fbi does not reach a conclusion. they would give you a couple of 302's that would just tell you what we said. so, i am here. i wanted to be here the next day. it is an outrage that i was not allowed to, and immediately defend my name, and say i did not do this, and give you all of this evidence. i am not even in dc on the weekends in the summer of 1982. you're talking about a weekday? when i am not at blair high school for a summer league game, i am not at tobin's house working out? i am not a movie with suzanne? you know, i wanted to be here right away. >> the difficult thing is that, these hearings are set, set by the majority. but, i am talking about getting

the evidence and having the evidence looked at, and i do not understand you know, we hear from the witnesses, but the fbi is not interviewing them. is not giving us any facts, so all we have -- >> you are interviewing me. you are doing it, senator. i am sorry to interrupt but you are doing it. there is no conclusions reached. >> and, what you are saying if i understand it, is that the allegations by doctor ford, ms. ramirez, and miss sweatnick are wrong. >> that is emphatically what i am saying, emphatically. the sweatnick thing is a joke,

it is a farce. >> would you like to say more about it? >> no. >> the ranking dianne feinstein, and kavanaugh. >> maria, are you with us? >> we will go to any in new baltimore, go ahead, please pick >> yes, i would like to talk about the brian williams effect. and a person can retell a story in there -- in their mind over and over and the story can change, and that is what happened with brian williamson, he told the story about being shot in the helicopter. but, the human mind after 30 years, when she started sharing this information with her psychologist, 30 years later she is remembering an imprint which she has told herself over and over again, and has changed it possibly, in her mind, who the characters were, where she

was, and it could be completely fictitious, this story with kavanaugh. it could have been someone else at some point. i do not doubt that probably she was assaulted by someone. but, the retelling. >> she did say though that she was 100% certain that it was brett kavanaugh, those are her words. >> so was brian williams so sure he was shot that when he was in a helicopter. he was not trying to lie, he was telling what his brain had remembered. and is a psychological effect. so, i am surprised that this has not been brought up by anyone. that a person can retell themselves a story to the point that they believe it, and that it is probably on a lie detector you could pass the lie detector from that i would believe because they believe it so well. but, they have always retold themselves that they actually believe it. >> thank you for the call, we will go to rachel next in south carolina, good evening.>>

hello, i waited a long time, but anyway, i do not have any doubt that maybe something happened to her, but, i do doubt the fact that she cannot prove by any friends who say that they were not there, and i believe kavanaugh and what has happened to him is absolutely disgraceful. with his record, and all of the schools giving him such high grades and maybe he can teach anymore, can't coach, can be on the supreme court, but also the circuit, it is just horrible. and, for some reason and i think that it is very unfair, but all of the me, too victims are placing this all on him. even if he did do to doctor

ford what she thinks he did than that is just one person, they have come out with all of the praise and everything, going against him. he is not responsible for all of the women who have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. >> i thought that the woman this morning that they decided to have leading? i could not figure out where she thought she was going. i don't think she knew where she was going, but, they should not have had her. and i would love to have heard, the republicans, >> thank you for being patient,

and being willing to share your voice, we are going to move on, but thank you rachel, we appreciate that so much. >> a little bit of news monitoring from cnn.com there is a meeting going on right now with four key senators, it is a private meeting, they are moderate senators, collins, murkowski, flake, and mansion, the one democrat running for reelection from west virginia, those three key republican centers in a private meeting were also told hearing from john cornyn that the membership of the republican senate are also meeting tonight to discuss the kavanaugh nomination, allen is next and shoot in texas, an independent line. >> three quick points, one, judge kavanaugh is not mister spock, meaning that he is about to be elected, to the supreme court, it would be very difficult for me to believe that once he gets on this court that things come across his

desk that he has to deal with, that he will not remember what has taken place, in a very clear partisan situation that he is in. a very dangerous when the court is supposed to be nonpartisan when dealing with things across their desk. the second thing is that something did happen, i think there is no doubt about that. to both of them, they are both very credible, judge kavanaugh, to his credit, the calendar and keeping a diary i think is very much to his side, when he said that he was not there, something did happen though, to doctor ford. and i think that is very key, especially living here in america. i think we are in a very dangerous time, where an accusation can put a person, and even not something as serious as sexual assault, but say, to his credit, in 35 years

in public service, and public life you do not have any of these things come up, but you still have a person, if they did made a slip when they are 16 years old, are you saying now that 35 years later, keeping your news clean and keeping good that they do not have an opportunity to be able to looked upon as they are now? as opposed to how they work? >> the bottom line, allen, does the senate confirm him this weekend or early next week? >> yes, they will confirm him. it is going to be 51-49. >> thank you for the call from houston texas, and thank you for being with us during the course of the day, the hearing began at 10:00 i am this morning we provided live coverage across all of the cspan3 platforms, in case you missed it it will be at 8:00 eastern time on's espn two,
