burgeoning political issue in the united states at this time as the nomination process continues for brett kavanaugh we're seeing a circus of anger and accusations. rick kavanagh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm welcome not they are given their duty. for here. we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn. them and i move. on here's why the issue is so diverse to the u.s. supreme court has the final legal say on crucial issues and justices are appointed for life no wonder both sides want to put the balance in their favor so the gloves
5:05 am
come off the accusations are now flying first a woman who is sitting behind kavanagh was accused of giving secret fascist hand signals it turns out she is the descendant of holocaust survivors then some misattributed quotes about birth control started flying around the internet hillary clinton herself was spreading this false information here for to birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs the such a fool to me an issue for you to i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spanked chick's to prove this false then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters scoured his financial disclosure. and learned that he had a tickets to a baseball game so as you can see there's still plenty of showing us to go around but then things got serious accusations of attempted rape which is career ending stuff in the age of me two came up christine blasi forward accuses brett kavanaugh
5:06 am
the tempting to rape her back in the one nine hundred eighty s. when they were both teenagers at a party now she wants an f.b.i. investigation if the senators who have come forward and said they want to treat the seriously mean that then they'll they'll have an investigation of these allegations so that we all go into this more informed so twenty four women who went to high school with brett kavanaugh signed a letter saying that they support the accuser then sixty five women signed another letter saying that they defend brett kavanaugh his character now those who support the democrats generally believe the accuser those is support the republicans think she is lying and have been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i believe offensive forward judge cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened who else was present she never reported it to anybody this is nothing if they get
5:07 am
away with this there is then you have c.n.n. running the country because this allegation could be made against anyone at any time now the u.s. department of justice says that it's not a federal case but it seems like proving guilt or innocence isn't exactly the issue here i think the nomination should be withdrawn the bar here is not. whether you have not criminally assaulted someone it's credibility trust integrity so who is brett kavanaugh now to some he is a well respected adjudicator who happens to have some republican ties to others he's a sexual predator now supreme court justice nominations often turn into political confrontations but rarely do they expose such a deeply divided america. art see new york. well one of the most outspoken opponents to breath calvin those nomination is former presidential candidate hillary clinton however it wasn't long before many pointed to her husband
5:08 am
former president bill clinton also faced allegations of sexual misconduct which did not stop him from reaching america's highest office her husband when he was president faced allegations that were not the same as this certainly but had connections to these kinds of allegations from years ago have we learned anything over the years about due process not just for the accusers but also for the accused well i think that you have to take each of these situations you know sort of on their own merits. of bill clinton's alleged victims reacted by asking the f.b.i. to investigate her rape accusations as well. the difference in the double standard that existed back then and still does today i think it's i think this is this donna but they can do this to mr cavanaugh it is the absolute definition of hypocritical and that's what's really disheartening especially for the american public to see
5:09 am
these democratic leaders that have been elected being absolutely hypocritical and two faced really not only when it comes to the clinton trials where all of this wasn't enough what we heard it wasn't enough you can't come against him whereas a woman makes one allegation is refusing to testify there's no other information nobody really has any information there's no evidence but the word of this woman that's not to say that sexual assault allegations are important but the timing is very suspicious of course so we've now shown that the congress the united states of america doesn't care about facts or evidence as mrs it's as about political differences. the much targeted promote program was supposed to be the biggest women's support initiative in afghanistan but according to a report by the washington watchdog it's been an author feel your hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money was spent the goals were huge but in reality only a few dozen women were helped.

a lonely figure at the summit as it was about to get underway on thursday in fact charles michel the prime minister of belgium on realizing that he was going to be sat next to mr orbán he was desperately looking for somebody else to try and talk to quite awkward moments there but there are some friends for mr orbit in the room the polish leaders and the full garion leaders of all suppressed all expressed their support for their policies when it comes to migration mr doesn't want to see these frontex agents securing hungary's border he says that hungary can do that better themselves. if you want to take the rights of border protection away from hungary to make migration possible our position on the issue is clear our homeland is not a house of passage nor a reception camps. inside of also launched a campaign against the ruling last week to put article seven measures in place to
5:16 am
sanction essentially or to push toward sanctioning the hungry in the european part in the european institutions this was well after a whole load of charges were leveled against viktor orbán and his government including mistreatment of migrants and the misappropriation of e.u. funds the government defiant in the face of those article seven measures that will see if that goes any further may expect to be talking about that a little more in the future but one other issue that isn't going anywhere and seems like it's been around forever is of course brags that theresa may the british prime minister had a chance to put out her vision for the future of northern ireland on wednesday evening after a working dinner insults burke what we heard in the response that up for junk lord young at the european commission president was that it was interesting polite and mrs may was just doing her job hardly the greatest of praise for in the e.u.

this article in the atlantic the win win fallacy entrepreneurs say they're trying to help others while also helping themselves but that claim may be hope masquerading as description so they talk about this guy named justin rosenstein who made hundreds of millions of dollars working with google and facebook piece of invented the like thing on facebook so from that he made tens of millions of dollars and he also made money from google but now he's trying to help the world and how he's trying to help the world but is also by helping himself which is he created some productivity and hansing collaborative tools and this paragraph really struck me as. the problem with our fear and derivatives based system just an rosenstein desire to improve people's lives by making everyone a little more productive was noble but one of the central economic challenges now facing his country is the remarkable stagnation in wages for half of americans despite the remarkable growth and productivity increasingly extractive financial
