against kavanaugh. they've made up their minds, they don't need the evidence. now this wrinkle: tonight there are more allegations, consistent in many ways with the allegations we have already heard. leading democrats are calling these new claims powerful, compelling, and highly credible. they are all both daring republicans to question the new accusers. the victims, they say, must be v believed. here's a selection of the charges. >> the devil! [screaming] >> tucker: oh, just kidding. that is a scene from "the crucible," what would you will remember is the arthur miller play about the sale a witch trials. miller wrote "the crucible" in

1953, the time when democratst still cared about due process. a he wrote it about as an allegory of the mccarthy hearings. it was a period the left deeply hated. nowadays you under a progressive still read miller's play. if so, are they outraged by it. maybe a not. it might seem completely reasonable to them. mobic uses the litter of witchcraft, village or denies it because which is always desired. prove you are not a witch, they scream. that which can't come approving beyond a doubt that she is in fact a witch. to the stake she goes. chris coons would understand this reasoning. a democrat from delaware, a member of the senate judiciary committee. he's been making the same case about brett kavanaugh and in publicab recently. watch and explain it. >> it is judge kavanaugh who is taking a like type appointment to the supreme court and who i think now bears the burden of disproving hisre allegations rather than dr. ford and ms. ramirez. >> tucker: even those of you who are absolutely dead surgeon

that brett kavanaugh is guilty as hell because you saw it on cn would have to admit that this does put them in a tough spot. the rest of us assume the constitution guarantees us the presumption of evanescence when we are accused. brett kavanaugh no longer has that production. it is up to him to clear his own name. he can either figure out how to prove that christine forwards augie 36-year-old memories are n grow up learning about how their dad is a sex offender. that is his choice. so what does he do next? how do you disprove an accuser who can't even tell you when or where he was supposedly committed the crime? the fbi, of course. democrats are demanding thatre kavanaugh called down yet another fbi investigation on himself. yes, he has invited you have a dozen federal background checkss want another. that is the only way he can show he is innocent of these charges. various dumb people on television agree with this. they nod their heads in unison.

would that really work? is that the purpose of fbi investigations? joe biden doesn't think so. keep in mind that biotin is both an attorney and a former chairmn of the senate judiciary committee. watch this. >> the next person that refers to an fbi report as being worth anything obviously doesn't understand anything. fbi explicitly does not, in this or any other case, reach a conclusion. period. period! >> tucker: okay. we fooled you again. that is joe biden from the 1991 clarence thomas hearings. biden was on the other side of the debate then a so naturally he had completely different views from the once he today. what hasn't changed are the inherent limits of the fbi investigation. democrats know that, of course, but so what? proving or disproving a recovered memory is not the

point. the point is destroying brett kavanaugh. it's worth saying that most democrats in washington don't really hate kavanaugh personally. he's hardly an abrasive character, as you've learned ae few monstrous interview with martha last night. there is nothing personal about any that.ug kavanaugh stands between the democratic party and the party he seeks. he's in the way. he must be crushed, in this case, with his wife enter little girls. sorry, that's the cost of winning. no almost without some broken eggs. the problem is come outside party headquarters in d.c., people don't understand that. when they hear a u.s. senator calling brett kavanaugh a criminal, they believe it. why wouldn't they? that if the other thing that ever changes, ever. human nature. there is a mop instinct and people, a gut level desire to worship the powerful at her to be unpopular. it's always there an and every population from the beginning of time until now. advise leaders know that, wise leaders fear that, they tried to keep it contained.

they never stokeke the mob instinct. once unleashed, there is no controlling where a mob ends up or who would destroy us. you can tell a mob of building by the way people start talking, like this. >> i think there's a compromise here, and hear me out on this. so kavanaugh gets confirmed to the supreme court. okay. in return, we get to cut that pesky penis of his off in front of everyone. >> tucker: that is where we are. castration. medieval moments call for medieval remedies. this is definitely a medieval moment. ethan bearman is a radio host in california and he joins us tonight. ethan, are you comfortable with that standard? another standard applies -- not a legal proceeding but fairness applies in all proceedings, like what hisis children think of hi, are you comfortable with the standard that once accused of something, that you should be the one who disproves the accusation, that is up to you to prove where they are saying about you isn't true? are you okay with that?

>> i think what we have to have is a hearing both sides. we will have that at least from dr. ford. we need to hear from all of the accusers. most importantly, we need to hear under oath from the actual suppose that witnesses to the events that occurred. this is not, by the way, i think it's really important, though, to go back back to something yu pointed out. it is not a criminal trial. due process does not apply the same way. this is like a job application. >> tucker: no. hold on. you are arguing something parallel to what i ask you. i am in favor of hearing all the evidence we had -- have access to it, including when and where the suppose of crime took place, which is a very basic questions still unanswered. the question is what you make of your party leaders, members of the judiciary committee, saying that the onus is on the accused to prove he is not guilty. this is not something we are taking out of context. we have at least three democratic members of the judiciary committee saying that in plain english. it's up to him. prove you are not guilty. are you comfortable with that

standard? is an un-american standard. we've never seen it before ever in american history. he is happening now. i want to know what you think of it. >> i'm not comfortable with this, to prove you are not guilty, but here's the difference. i have been consistent about this throughout the entire me too movement. when there's a single look who's there, it's hard for me to call for somebody's job to be lost. once we have multiple, creditable accusers come forward, which we have in this case, plus michael avenatti is teasing a third run out there right now, now we have a pattern, and now we have to look very deeply into this and we should do things -- >> tucker: does it occur to you that we have a pattern of people making charges they can substantiate to achieve political ends? is that a possible explanation for this? m.i.a. sexist foror suggesting ? >> we have two really big issue is. i don't like that politics is the blood sport that it is. the democrats sat on the letter for seven weeks. you and i can actually agree on something. i didn't like that either. the politics is politics.

theyey sat on it you try to dely this. but what has happened now is we have women who are being slammed and slandered and attacked and disbelieved and we are in the middle of the me too movement after 1,000 -- >> tucker: hold on, hold on! >> it's time to give them their time. >> tucker: it's not about all men. it's not about all women. it's about one man and one woman. it's not about me, it's not about you. it's about brett kavanaugh and christine ford. the case is specific. we are not putting men on trailer trying to exonerate women for the crimes committed by our ancestors. we areou talking about the here and now. let me ask you a specific question about christine ford. you are suggesting you're not allowed toyo disbelieve somebody but i retain my right of reason and i can determine as an adult and u.s. citizen whether i believe the evidence or not. it's only comfort me when i will do that. does she have a responsibility -- she's claiming that this man sexually assaulted her and it alter the course of her life.th you can fly on airplanes, ite affects our relationships with men, she's a predator.

she didn't tell anyone his name for 36 years. he got married, interacted with money and our populations. sex offenders tend to commit serial sex crimes. doesn't she have an obligation to tell someone come in to stop him from doing that? wears or obligation? >> every psychologist will tell you, there are eight primary reasons why a sexual assault victim, a traumaf og victim, dot come forward, doesn't -- >> tucker: know, i'm asking about her reasons, maybe they are legitimate. i'm asking about the rest of us. the other 320 million people who live here. if he is actually a criminal, we haveli a right to know that nga has an obligation to tell us. and i was hard but why don't we have a right to know? if there is a rapist on the loose, as bernie madoff trips you off, and you don't tell lenny anyone, you're part of the problem. am i missing something? >> dr. ford did communicate with her therapist. she's produced that evidence. >> tucker: hold on. she didn't name him.

i'm not saying it's not true. i'm saying if it is true, what is going on here? don't the rest of us have a right to protect ourselves from this dangerous man, brett kavanaugh? what's the answer? >> hang on. you have a very powerful person here, a judge on the ninth circuit of the u.s. circuit -- >> tucker: he hasn't been a judge for 36 years. he's been dating other women, getting married. >> tucker, you were just talking about the privileged elite and the wealthy and there was in power. that is brett kavanaugh from day one! he i went to an elite boarding schools on the east coast, went straight into yale, he's the most elite of the elite. >> tucker: the elite are bad. you are missing it. you are intentionally dodging my question. it is about responsibility. i'm serious. if this is true. i'm taking her at face value. it's not just about her and her feelings. there is a responsibility to others around you in aan society ats, large which we are ignoring on purpose because we are all

terrified to say anything that is true because we think we will be punished for doing that. you know that's true. let me ask you quickly about creepy porn lawyer. all of a sudden, the guy who was a lawyer for stormy daniels jumps up and down and depressed about that. it is a joke. now he's back on the press is making him even bigger. here's a selection. >> michael avenatti is a beast. >> that's true. he's a beast. >> jon meacham says he may be the savior of the republic. >> he has a bigger calling. being a lawyer is minimal. >> the priesthood, whatever. >> he is out there saving the country. >> i owe michael avenatti a written apology. for the last couple of weeks i've been saying, enough, i've seen you everywhere. i was wrong, brother. you have a lotot to say. the democrats could learn something from you. >> tucker: they are promoting him from the very start. that was fine when he was doing creepy porn but now the press is

taking their own jokes, they are taking creepy porn lawyer and making brett kavanaugh all about himself. >> it's not about one specific allegation. this is a series of allegations, a pattern of behavior, rachel, that took place across many months and many years. i believe that when these allegations are surfaced within the next 48 hours, there will be no question that brett kavanaugh is not fit to sit on the u.s. supreme court. >> tucker: he hasn't provided the allegations, needless to say. this guy's a buffoon, ethan, these are serious charges, presumably coming from serious people. the i consequence is are seriou. why let this charlatan intrude on the process? wire democrats allowing this guide to take center stage? >> michael avenatti has taken a page out of trump's own playbook of manipulating the media to his own benefit. here's a difference, michael avenatti has actually brought the good since he started

representing ms. clifford, stormy daniels. he's actually brought the goods when he's made these allegations. >> tucker: now he is saying -- hold on. in a specific case, he is adjusting, he's got nothing to do with any of this, obviously. he's trying to stay famous. he saying that brett kavanaugh was part of a rape ring. do democrats want to be tied to someone that reckless? honestly? >> i don't know anything about the allegation about a rape ring. he clamped on my claims to have a reliable accuser. i'm very interested. he's teasing it out of her 48 hours of that time hasn't come yet and i'm curious to see whate will bring.de he's brought the goods since he started representing stormy daniels. >> tucker: g g he certainly has made some money as stormy daniels are still getting beer bottles thrown at her on stage and strip bars in richmond. but i don't know.

i guess we'll see. he is your presidential candidate. i guess we'll find out find out. >> no, no. i am for eric garcetti. >> tucker: good man. ethan, great to see. senator kirsten gillibrand has been may be the most opportunistic of all and declaring brett kavanaugh guilty without evidence to supportop i. not the first time that she is but her ownor ambition over what is true. the reporter who was all followed her closely joins us next. ♪ my mom's pain from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis was intense. i wondered if she could do the stuff she does for us which is kinda, a lot.

>> tucker: well, there are about 100 u.s. senators -- not about, there are literally 100. about half of them have decided you to keep brett kavanaugh off the supreme court no matter what. there isep only one, kirsten gillibrand. she stands alones and how frequently she is throwing out a due process, individual rights for the sake of refolding herself and gaming politically. >> i've heard from both sides and i believe dr. blasey ford and i believe mrs. ramirez. you have people who are telling me stories about what happened to them and credibly accusing judge kavanaugh of violent behavior,, sexual assault, of behavior that is disqualifying. >> tucker: that was harvey weinstein's personal friend,

senator kirsten gillibrand in new york. seth baron has covered her, watch very closely, associate editor of "city journal. seth, when you see senator gillibrand position herself as a defender of all women everywhere, what is your response to that? >> well, i don't know how it is that she has heard the two accusers and agrees with them because have they really said anything at? she is over very long history of embracing whatever is expedient and dispensing with whatever is no longer experienced expedien. she was elected in 2006 as a conservative democrat. out the motto was her mentor afr hillary clinton became secretary of state in 2009. she was a conservative, she had a letter a rating from the nra. she had been a philip morris attorney. then when she became senator,

she very quickly tax left and, one thing w she said earlier ths year b that i thought was very revealing, asks why when she used to support deportation of illegal immigrants, and as she was on board with the dreamers, she said, well, i came from a district that was 98% white. this is something that she is embarrassed and ashamed about. >> tucker: oh, i get it. she's embarrassed and ashamed of her former constituents, who watched her political career, after she was a cigarette lawyer. i think she worked for harvey weinstein's law firm as well as being his good friend. so when you see this former friend of weinstein's and bill clinton's, who of course knew all about their reputations as saidrs of women and nothing, whenou you see her sayi really am the protector of women, do you think it's a credible posture for her? >> it's consistent for her. this is exactly what she has done throughout her entire career. remember a few years ago, she brought the mattresss girl, the

performance artist from columbia, to the state of the union address. agh woman who -- you know, is a performance, dragged her mattress around columbia university campus claiming that they wouldn't expel her rapist but he had been found to be not culpable. >> tucker: n [laughs] the rapist who wasn't a rapist. >> senator gillibrand has ceased this moment, the me too movement, as her issue. >> tucker: is there anything she won't do? i guess we will find out soon as she runsin with creepy porn lawr for the democratic nomination. please keep covering it. was guilty or we still need glasses on table ten. ♪

innocent untilve proven guilty n this a case. we've got judge kavanaugh and an impossible position. people have noted this. i would like to believe that women are always morally superior to men, a side of concerned women for america. but the duke lacrosse case aunt lena diamond's book, going back to the classic literature, "to w it's not always true because we are broken people. the less best that we can do iy to get to the truth -- >> tucker: you are saying that not every woman always tells the truth? >> sadly, that is the case. you know that you don't immediately become a more moral because you are a woman. that is why judges must be blin blind. justice has to be blind tous everything. gender, race, socioeconomic, age, we are counting on that. if we get away from that notion, it ise dangerous for our nation. it's dangerous for everyone in our country. >> tucker: of the presumption is that people are judged on the

basis of their sex or race or immutable characteristics. >> it absolutely is not. i believe women and i think we have a right to use our voice and to speak up and as a victim, we have to have the opportunity to come forward and share our perspective. but wear also need to understand that we deserve to give justice to everyone in this nation and concerned women for america is therefore judge kavanaugh, we still support him. if something changes, if it is proven that he is a predator or anyones sitting on the supreme court today, we would be the first people calling for impeachment. we will be leading the charge. that is not where we p are. we strongly are still in support of him. in fact, we are doing for women for cavanagh rally thursday morning behind the senator russell building, 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., any of your viewers that want to come would be welcome. this is an important moment for conservative women to speak up on this issue. >> tucker: thank you very much for that.

>> thank you. >> tucker: megan fox wrote a piece telling parents how to christine blasey ford-proof your sons. thanks a lot for coming on. what does this mean? what is a prophylactic against getting accused of something and what would you tell parents how their boys? >> there is no total prophylactic, of course. i would tell them to first, when they are young, for sure, take them to church, give them a moral standing in life, teach them about their dignity as a person, and the dignity of others. the second thing is to avoid drinking. stay sober. avoid girls who drink. avoid these drunken parties that can be used against you in 30 years. a also if you are going to have a position of authority and a high position, act accordingly. it is like the mike pence school of thought. going to be alone with a woman who is not your wife. >> tucker: wait a second. that is, like, crazy evangelical
