since 9/11, brit hume has been here the entire time.nges to american culture and politics over that period. thanks for coming on. it does seem like it's a very different country from the room one before 9/11. >> i think it is in some ways, and in some ways it is not. certainly when 9/11 happened, i will bet you that you will, like me, thought this was just the beginning, that further such attacks were undoubtedly coming and lord knows how many in number and that is a testament to the success of the government, really, and us as a nation, in hardening ourselves as a target and trying to knock them out where they live and where they start. i think it was so successful in fact that life.backed in terms of the political and they got back to normal, pretty soon and it normal is so good. we are a deeply divided nation and people are flinging all kinds of wild things across the barricades of one another. for as sensible of a man is angus king, well, my guess is from maine, a state with which i believe you are familiar. he's a pretty sensible g

let's bring in our panel brit hume a.b. stoddard associate editor at real clear politics.way senior editor at the politics and chris stirewalt author of the new book every man a king short colorful hearing of american populist. it's a great read. >> thank you, sir. >> bret: thoughts. >> it's going to be a real ugly, contentious fraught space and the democrats have to be cognizant of overreaching but the republicans have to be very cognizant about not turning off offending people like susan collins people like lisa murkowski those votes could be affected here if they are not seen being fair and even handed with this accuser it will go very poorly. >> bret: context of election looming in a matter of weeks. >> right. i have no idea who to believe and without getting into any of that democrats obviously questions about senator feinstein bringing it you up before this woman came forward and why is that acceptable? and then the democrats, there was a hearing today that brett kavanaugh was going to meet with judiciary members or top staff. top democrats said they didn't want to g

brit hume has joined us again this morning. your thoughts on that and how he handled this morning in general? >> i think in some, his answers today marked him as very much a judge in the mainstream. any hope his opponents have of stopping him would come to an effort to portray him as an exotic, radical, far right, or whatever. the cases he chose, and he obviously thought them through ahead of time, and has other answers marked him i think as a very careful judge. his temperament is of the kind that you would want coming from a judge. fair-minded and open-minded and all the rest of it. i think he advanced his cause. i don't think any of the lines of questioning did him any harm whatsoever and it gives you an idea of why democrats seem so frustrated about him because he is pretty hard to touch up. >> a.b. stoddard, juan williams, and questioning from senator leahy, the democrat from vermont, we kind of went into the weeds there, a rabbit hole, for a lot of time about a specific email. it sounded that senator leahy wanted that rel

fox news senior political analyst, brit hume. mo elleithee of georgetown university's - -. former democratic congresswoman donna edwards and kimberly strawel. what did you think of - - to go along with an investigation. a one-week fbi investigation of brett kavanaugh. >> i've heard it described as a compromise. i don't think it was a compromise because when a compromise occurs, both sides give something. it's not clear at all what the democrats gave. this is exactly what they wanted. maybe they would have liked it to go on in perpetuity but i don't think mr. flake got much for his so-called compromise. everyone knows on that committee what an fbi background check is like that it is not a criminal investigation. it's not an in-depth investigation. it's simply a background check in which you go and interview people about a nominee or candidate. they will look into some of these charges. it's worth remembering that in all of these instances, no one has cooperated the charges and it's hard to imagine that when the fbi finishes, they will find corroboration that no one else has
