now kavanaugh. i don't know why it is always our people but things have changed enough for the better. one person has not mentioned kavanaugh yet, and that is susan collins. of all the people who really mattered, i would put her at the top of the list. senator collins gave an explanation of her vote that is the epitome of what the founders had in mind when it came to advise and consent. it was logical, well-researched. she took the allegation seriously. she thoroughly vetted him personally and looked at every case he authored, acquired a law professor to advise her. spent an enormous amount of time looking through bret's record and came to the conclusions that the accusations against him were unfounded and unjust, and that the body of his work demonstrated a keen intellect, a solid traditional conservative judge. so i want to thank susan collins for saving the rule of law. now -- [applause] sen. graham: what susan did is sustainable. if every senator did what she did, you may not vote yes, but you'l

justice kavanaugh: it seems to me -- justice kagan: so -- justice kavanaugh: go ahead. justice kagan: -- i was just -- what is the "it" in that sentence? what did the secretary not address? mr. ho: he did not address the fact that because of the bureau's disclosure avoidance protocols, it can only provide estimates of citizenship at the block level. if i could, let me explain why. the statute requires the census bureau not to disclose information that could result in the identification of a person's census responses. if you have 100 people living on a block and the census bureau says, well, there are 100 citizens there, you will have necessarily identified all of their census responses. so what the bureau does is it alters demographic totals for census blocks before publishing them. that means that that data is an approximation, it's an estimate, just like the acs data that the department of justice currently relies on. and here's what's critical. justice alito: well, this is -- this gets really, really technical, but -- well, and your -- i'm sorry. chief justice robert

then you compare it to kavanaugh. and everything else. and this case, joe biden won't apologize. why is this allowed to exist? >> this is politics for a long time. i've argued now for 15, 20 years that the left's arguments really aren't about the principles or policies at all. they're convenient. that the democrats have been gifters for a very long time. they take an issue they know is important to the american peopl people. ride it to death and use it to gain more power while doing nothing, if not making the issue more of a problem. so this is one of my points with kavanaugh is that when you're using something as a political c cudgel, you're taking seriousness away from it. this is not a zero game here where it's all harvey weinstein accusations versus nothing. we worked for decades to educate people about sexual harassment and now you have joe pieden going up in his speech joking about it, dismissing the nature of behavior that if it was done in a work place would have serious repercussions and importantly so. because this is about the women's ability to be taken seriously, to

so what does justice brett kavanaugh mean that history may provide local governments more flexibility? there is a long history of regulation in america and in addition to regulations on types of arms there is regulations on how they can be carried and how they can be stored and licensing regimes. that said, brett kavanaugh is clear that the second amendment -- as he stated, when legislatures seek to address new weapons that have not traditionally existed, there will obviously not be a history of banning them. that doesn't mean the second amendment doesn't apply to them nor does it mean the government is powerless to address the new weapons. rather the approach is to reason by analogy from history and tradition. so to give you a hypothetical, but more concrete example, there were no commercial airliners in 1791. in 1961 congress prohibited the carrying of concealed weapons into the cabins of a commercial aircraft. that 50 years as a long time to be a long-standing and therefore constitutional, but i wager most of us would consider the inside of a jet plane a sensitive place. under a co

brett kavanaugh hearings.hearings made it clear that he was unqualified to sit on the supreme court. but the republican base stayed solidly. in fact his favor ability grew during the public hearings. because people thought he was being picked on. people thought we were taking advantage of him people thought we were harassing him, et cetera. i don't think you're going to shake the base. if you don't shake the base you're not going to shake one republican senator. there is no chance -- and what we are doing is jeopardizing our chances of beating donald trump where we can beat him and should beat him at the ballot box. >> so let me see say in. >> go ahead, tom. >> i've gone around this country the last year and a half and talked to people in blue and red states. and americans share much more than -- than separates them. he everybody is nervous about losing in system because they know this system is under attack that it is dysfunctional and that this president is at the heart of it. i'm willing to put my trust in

stephen moore now said the critics are pulling a kavanaugh on me over his past comments.ents that argued there could be no women in men's basketball, as announcers, as refs, even beer vendors. this is what he said. >> i was so honored when i got the call from donald trump, and, you know, it's been -- all it's been since then is one personal assault after another, and character assassination having nothing to do with economics, but you know, they're pulling a kavanaugh against me. >> of course they were. >> the easy thing would be to throw in the towel. i've taken a 60% pay cut to do this job. it's true public service. >> refers to the current supreme court justice robert kavanaugh. moore us until recently, was also a cnn up contributor. >>> julie dekaro is also here. so thank you both for being with me. andrew, back to stephen moore. you guys have dug all this stuff up of his past writings, has he backed off some comments? >> he has -- we just heard him call it a character assassination, called it a smear. he said he's being kavanaugh'd. no even know what that means. if y

brett kavanaugh was litigated and he's a supreme court justice. putting someone's shoulders in a work environment -- honestly, it happens all the time. things that may make women uncomfortable doesn't make a man bad. it may be makes them thoughtless or clueless or careless but not a bad man. this categories about real abuse and assault. >> martha: being more considerate and aware, which he says he is going to do what you make a great point about the real abuse that goes on out there and how these things become a magnet for discussion. there was an interesting piece, the importance of the union backing that joe biden has received so far. some people have concluded that is the old style of writing. but with these union leaders were saying to her in pennsylvania, we don't like the fact that the party is coming so far left. that is why we came out so early in favor of joe biden. the president says the membership is with him. and the leadership is with biden. >> here's the thing, here is why the union backing is powerful. because unions have a powerful

isn't that exactly what she did with judge brett kavanaugh. the sweeping tsa changes that will have travelers going high. "fox and friends first" starts now. ♪ heather: good morning, you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning, pretty good morning to wake up and do a little dancing. we appreciate you waking up and joining us on fox news. we begin with a fox news alert. gang members arrested at the southern border is they brace for an overflow of illegal migrants. the secretary of homeland security heading to the border today to get a firsthand look. griff jenkins, people feeling the crisis firsthand. >> gang members you mentioned last friday, saturday, sunday, monday, three gang members, two confirmed ms 13 gang in addition, one with a minor, to the border, within an hour, we were already witnessing apprehensions going down. a helicopter overhead, agents on atvs, chasing illegal crossings, that is in addition to the ones who want to because, a top station in the nation, we got last night's numbers, 1400 arrests in total. the

i expect the same from justice kavanaugh. we are not working with a lot of material.conclusions. >> martha: it's lifelong. a lot of time to dig in. this is what your father said about trading. the whole thing about the obamacare decision and whether or not there was any back-room deals done on that. let's listen. >> i can't trade. i like to argue. it's one reason i like the law, i think. i like to figure out where the truth lies. >> martha: your reaction? >> that's about right. my father really liked argument. he liked debate. he saw that as a way of getting closer to the truth. as far as his approach to the law, he thought that you could not really be a moderate justice because that just meant you were not close enough to interpreting the law, you were making a compromise. his approach was more disciplined than that. >> martha: i head about the time he spent at saint mary's and what a fervent prayer he was. we have the pope appointing a new archbishop. what would your dad think about the scandal? >> he would be disturbed i don't think it would shake his faith. he bel

so this is one of my points with kavanaugh. when you are using something as a political kuj el you are taking seriousness away from it and look at this. separate from -- this is not a zero gain here where it is all harvey weinstein accusations versus nothing. that we have worked for decades to educate people about sexual harassment. you have joe biden going up in his speech joking about it. just dismissing the nature of behavior that if it was done in a workplace would have serious repercussions and importantly so. because it is -- this is about the sense of women's ability to be taken seriously, to not be touched without being asked, if at all in the workplace. and yet now it's almost like we've lost a decade of work because of the democrats' concerns about politics. so this should show the american people. democrats as well, grassroots democrats that their leadership has been misleading them, the leadership is not serious, it is the leadership using them and i would encourage all independents and democrats, it's not about cha

we saw brett kavanaugh put his finger on the heart of the case. if there are policy determinations to be made, shouldn't we leave it to the secretary of commerce rather than the supreme court? david: fascinating. at the supreme court, kimberly robinson. i come back to alix steel. we were on the program this morning in u.s. to great question of francine lacqua, which is how haiku the price of oil go. this is what -- how high the price of oil go? this is what he said. >> $100 a barrel. i do not think that is the base case. our base case is $82. there is a chance prices keep rising, because headed into the year end, we have a fuel specification change which will lead to a big jump in oil demand globally. david: one of your favorite subjects. for those of us who do not cover oil, how much of this is things like the iranian sanction and how much is the fundamentals that underlie the oil industry? alix: it feels like it will be the former. when you have iran out of the market 500,000 to 900,000 barrels of oil, the issue is if saudi arabia and russia get

christine ford over brett kavanaugh. on twitter saying imagine making time's most influential people list because you accuse a prominent man of sexual assault and then finding out he is on the same list. how many ways can we keep re-traumatizing forward? reaction from the other side as well, chuck on twitter says she influenced what? it best she misidentified, at worst she lied and tried to destroy a man. the moral is that they tried to appease everybody and in doing so made both sides angry. >> i see jesus and a lot of people do. >> everyone at home wiped the sleep out of your eyes, you want to focus on this photo because some people say they see the silhouette of jesus christ in the flames of the notre dame cathedral. photos like this are going viral online. they sparked next reaction. chris on twitter says remarkable apparition, even looks like he's carrying the cross, i to see the cross, another twitter user saying sorry, whether you see it or not real miracles did happen as french officials say the notre dame cathed

back in september, this is what she said about christine blase ford, the accuser against kavanaugh. i'm proud to support her decision to tell the story. those who speak painful truth must be supported in every way. 15-second reaction, rochelle, we'll start with you, to the contrast? >> you can see the hypocrisy in the statements even though i'm an independent and i do not want to be a hypocrite at all, and i think that while it's important to listen to women and their allegations, at the same time, there's been stories about women who lied about sexual assault. here in new york, a girl was just sentenced to a year in jail who were lying about two african-american college athletes racing he-- raping her. she made up the whole thing. if we're going to talk about the victims, we need to give the accused a day in court as well. >> shannon: due process is one of the bedrock foundations in this country and something we all deserve. >> i agree with everything that rochelle said, we should be taking women seriously but we should not strip men of their due process rights because women make a

brett kavanaugh in the eyes of the law is still 100% innocent. he is a supreme court justice.dent to learn from a supreme court justice. stuart: that is the point, isn't it? how many times can a law school student learn directly from, be taught by a significant supreme court justice. that is absolutely appalling. hold on a second. you said one out of how many said it was a good thing. >> we talked to dozens of students on campus. we walked around and we were getting people's opinions. there was a protest on campus yesterday against this. students were meeting with the president of gmu. he actually had a great response to this, he said, we don't just hire and fire professors based on what students think. they made an educated decision to bring on a supreme court justice. the class is actually oversubscribed right now. there are more people who want to take this than the school can even accommodate. really what this is, this a vocal segment of the school has decided that because they don't like brett kavanaugh, that law students should have the opportunity taken away from them.
