would testify. and then you talk about the other things. look, the difference between monday and thursday in the grand scheme of ithings, think repus would sta in the way of that. and the ia who goes first, i think it's -- i certainly think their preroga to ask to go first to hav judge kavanaugh go i can't imagine judge kavanaugh wouldn get a chance to respond if you are brett kavanaught di not take place as described by dr. ford, wouldn't you want an fbi investigation? and even if you're chuck grassley, the chair of thu want enforc organn to say this didn't happen, i in fact it didn't? >> i think for a number of reasons if you are judge kavanaugh y want this fbi investigate biggest is so that no questions when you are sitting on -- assuming you get confirmed and you are sitting on

that bench, you don't want any question i was interviewing a democrat from rhode island. he said that if justice, if judge kavanau becomes justice kavanaugh and they't do an investign of what happened and there is no fbi investign eve conducted, h said a future congress would do this. i said you mean w if democra control of the senate they would reopen this, meaning they could at tha point, the only way to undo a justice kavanaugh would be throunnt impeach process an wouldn't rule that out. look, i think we're -- thi is, again, if you are judge kavanaugh, i think you want thia fbi inves now. all right.want this lingering chuck, we will keep our eye on next week. han> just ahead, a "today exclusive. vice prt biden's take on the showdowns, midterms
