here to debate, ben shapiro host of the "ben shapiro election special" on fox," big national directorriel gold who was at the court today protesting. ben, let's start with you, your take on this, emotional day, but where the facts advanced in order to bolster ms. ford's credibility? >> they weren't. there was no corroborative evidence provided, not one single shred, not one single iota. that doesn't mean that fordro didn't tell a credible story doesn't mean that her story was story wasn't emotionally resident, but it doesn't mean that we can simply destroy a man's life and career based on an uncorroborated obligation no matter how much we have somebody for the person making the allegation. there was not one shread of supporting was brought to back her account, kavanaugh's denials were just as emotionally effecting. i don't see any reason to suggest -- by the way, theon evidence is more on hers than it is. i don't have any reason to suggest that his nomination should end based on what should happen today. >> laura: were you happy with the democrats' performance?n. he didn't seem to be

joining me now, host of the ben shapiro's show, it's great to see you ben.show, i'm happy could join us. >> thanks for having me, i appreciate it. >> steve: i thought this was an important point. give us some details that you put in the article about what prompted you to make the argument. >> the last couple weeks, the claremont institute based on the philosophy of leo strauss in 1979, they have a list serve. they have a lot of alumni on the listserv. a lot of people have been through their fellowships, i was [inaudible] this listserv but apparently there's a discussion because of former claremont institute person has been ousted as a speechwriter from president trump because he appeared at an event which white supremacist had appeared. he appealed to the listserv to help them out. there was a lot of response. one who responded was charles johnson, not right figure. charles wrote something about how the founders were essentially white supremacist and were white majority country. claremont responded by shutting down the listserv. the left jumped on this and s

here now is ben shapiro, editor in chief and host of the ben shapiro election special which starts this0 eastern on the fox news channel that we are all looking forward to. good to see you tonight, and i know you talked a lot about your podcast today and yesterday, what you see is a lot of injustice that feels inherent to this in terms of how this whole thing has been approached. and that kind of millions who might have jumped into the fray to help this woman and get involved in the case, and there is a story by politico later on this afternoon, which suggested that a woman named ricky theismann is advising her. she's allowed to have anyone she wants advisor, it's a free country but ricky seidman also helped someone else in the past. let's watch. >> on september 6, ricky seidman called me and she told me that she knew someone who worked on the senate labor committee and and he would give me some indication of the law. >> there is obviously a political attempt here, the effect that the accuser is now going to a woman who is working with andy to hill and the clarence thomas tile doesn't s

now back to the ben shapiro election special . to stop the kavanaugh confirmation, but will efforts resonate with voters? we turn to editor at large and pollster extraordinaire scott rasmussen. >> great to be with you, ben. ben: what are the polls showing about the state of congress. how many seats republicans need to hold and what are the chances they hold the congress? >> the democrats need to win 23 seats to take over the house. most people say that means they need to win the popular vote by five, six points. our polling and others show the democrats have a seven-point advantage. they're favored to take the house. important thing to understand is the numbers are fluid. if the turnout among republicans is higher, you get that generic ballot lead to the five-point range. republicans have a chance to retain control of the house. on the other hand, if a lot of people sit home and don't go to the polls for the republican side, that number widens the democrats could end up with 40 or 50 seat pickup. ben: there was internal rnc poll th

we have tammy bruce, stuart, brian, ben shapiro, kimberly and even greg gutfeld. what a lineup. first, with the traditional kickoff of the campaign season tomorrow we look ahead to the crucial midterm elections. here's my take. republicans are about to make huge mistake. it could lose the house and senate in 65 days time. so, if anyone is watching who has any influence with the gop tell them this. america's top priorities the economy. republicans think that campaigning on what a good job they have done will win votes, they are dead wrong. people don't vote out of gratitude, they vote for the future. a win in november stick to win message. on the nancy pelosi and the democrats, you would pay $2059 more tax per year. that is the amount paul ryan said the average household benefits from the tax cuts. tax cuts that democrats pledged to reverse. that should be the message. $2000 a year more tax under nancy pelosi and the democratics. let's test the experts if they agree with my advice. fox news contributor, tammy bruce. stuart bonnie, the host of on the company. store, do you see wha

jon: well, you can catch more of that on the ben shapiro election special tonight, 8:00 p.m.rn, right here fox news channel. >>> president trump ups the ante for gop voters as we hit the homestretch of the midterm campaign season. >> you got to get out and vote, i know you're complacent. we had this great victory. we're going to be fighting to keep what you have. they want to take it away. you got to get up, can't be complacent. jon: as democrats use the allegations against brett kavanaugh as a rallying cry ahead of the midterms, the impact all of this could have as we move closer to november. >>> the president prepares to address fellow world leaders of u.n. general assembly this week. what we can expect from his big speech? you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (vo) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of on

reelected in fact the best explanation of trump's victory of the results of the obama presidency and ben shapiro who is a us political commentator said obama electric us is literally how you got trump what do you think send us your thoughts is the hash tag has got one interesting one thank you are here now you would probably remember the film fahrenheit nine eleven right the two thousand and four documentary by michael moore which criticized president george w. bush and his response. to the september eleventh attacks well in twenty attain we have found eleven and nine a new film referring to the date when donald trump was officially announced as the forty fifth president and the film's had its debut at the toronto international film festival when more apparently compared from two adult. drew parallels with the rise of nazi germany. i'm sick and tired of people telling me that america is the greatest country because we can whip your ass. somebody but i've never felt. i'll give you this you're never going to have one scene when you stop. by to impeach you just try if you want a spasm of violence i

ben shapiro of dailywired.com said this could ruin his life. >> the idea that these things can be decidedle who are bad and women must always be believed is absurd. you need a standard of evidence to destroy man's life. give him the chance to defend himself. democrats say if he is defending himself he is insulting the woman. this is insanity and demonstrative of the fact that if you want to get to the truth, if democrats gave a crap about this they would be putting this woman in front of the hearing, calling whatever witnesses they could and something to bolster her case, not hiding or and adjusting any questions undermine justice. heather: several democrats support ford saying they believe her claims despite seeing no evidence. battle over border security, donald trump taking aim at senate democrats for failing to provide more funding for the border wall. >> family because of the democrats obstruction, only $1.6 billion was just approved. i am not thrilled. after the election they are telling me we are getting our wall the way we want it so let's see what happens. we want that wall. you

ben shapiro election special sunday at 8:00 p.m.here are not just senators on the judiciary committee eager to hear from dr. ford, but voters. we are curious to see how the court is going to shape up before they cast votes in the mid-terms. what do you make of these developments? >> it's difficult to tell where this is going. a lot of the requests being put forward by ford seem unreasonable. we are hearing ford wants to testify after calf knew which makes no -- after kavanaugh which makes no sense. you don't have a trial where the defendant testifies before the accuser. i will be interested to see if it's going to be public or private. republicans seem to be forth coming in allowing dr. ford to testify whichever way they want. kennedy: her attorney said that in their letter, they appreciate that the committee has been reasonable and accommodating to ford's requests. >> what's so frustrate being this, good hearted people on both sides of the aisle would like to know whether it's a lie, the truth or misremembering. but because of all

but the people who have been put under the hate speech category are people like ben shapiro, academic. mainstream amy wax at the university of pennsylvania law school who will speak at the next panel. one of the most respected legal scholars in the country. these are not -- and me, i'm not defending or laying the victim, but i speak about minority support for the police in high crime neighborhoods. i don't think this is hate speech. that to even give validity to that rhetoric, that somehow campuses are experiencing this parade of ideas isewing racist already part of the problem. areays that universities the best at managing civil complex. maybe -- conflicts. maybe that is because this victim knowledge he is already rapidly starting to spread into civil society, as in by the firing of computer scientist james damore from google in august of 2017. damore had written a reasonable memo challenging the reigning feminist orthodoxy at google, and an firing him, google ceo used the identical language from campuses saying that google's employees were hurting because he had presented a set of a

i think my friend ben shapiro, was an ever-trump guide 2016, he made a really good point on our showe comes in a primary news as trade for example, or tariffs for free trade as a hammer against the president, i would actually agree with him on that argument on substance. but, because a lot of republican voters are so loyal to the president, flake could end up damaging the actual issue that he is fighting on behalf of because it would be seen as disloyal and harming the sitting president. unless there is a major shift in some way, nationally, i think it would be probably strategically a mistake. >> marie: lisa? kasich 2020? >> lisa: i know you like john kasich. you're from ohio, it's in your heart. but not with republicans. you look at the fact that the only contest he was able to win was his own state of ohio, that demonstrates what a horrible candidate he is in the fact that he is not palatable to so many republicans. he also look at someone like senator jeff flake, part of the reason he didn't seek reelection was because he would have a hard time both in the primary and general ele

ben shapiro tweeting, this would be more convincing if obama hadn't suggested it fueled the republican for a decade before trump. does he have a point? >> i think he does. i mean, these things don't usually make a difference. a huge amount of debate. this surrogate or that. you know? two months out. i would say this. obama beat romney when he was on the ballot. 51-47. that break is not enough for democrats to win the house. so to be very simple minded about it, there need to be people that vote democratic this time this time for the house or senate. there are such people and will be i think. the best messenger to them is someone saying i, too, have been a republican and voted republican many times. by definition they have to defeat incup bent republicans. you won more 50% of the vote. i don't think he's a messenger to get them to switch. >> i have to say this election is not about former republican voters and imagery voters that everybody likes to talk about in 2016. this election -- >> that's a lot. >> a lot. 56 million people voted for trump. we have seen midterm -- not midterm. prim

ben shapiro was talking about how there seemed to be different standards. why it s.that the rah cufer's word seem to have more weight in political debate than judge kavanaugh's denial. >> the idea that justice, truth and guilt and innocence, these things can be decided simply to appeal men are bad and women must always be believed? it's absurd. you have to have some standard of evidence before you destroy a man's life. you have to give him a chance to defend himself. democrats are saying if he defends himself he is insulting the woman. demonstrative of the fact in we wanted to get to the truth if democrats gave one crap about this. democrats would be putting this woman in front of a hearing calling whatever witnesses they could and attempting to bolster her case. they wouldn't attempted to hide her and suggesting any questions ask are undermining the justice system. steve: accord ing to "the washington post, her attorney wanted to make sure reporters were kept at a stance from her when she testifies also concerned about her safety. i hope you realize she has been get
