why are they not concerned that leland keyser doubts christine ford's story. the eyewitness, someone who is supposed to be one of her best friends that told the fbi she was being pressured by christine ford's friend to change her story. reported that christine ford's dad congratulated brett kavanaugh's dad on confirmation. if you don't have your own dad behind you, that certainly raises questions. >> tucker: it does raise some questions. lisa, good to see you tonight. >> i could go on. >> tucker: me too. good to see you. richard goodstein joins us tonight. good to see you tonight. lisa raises an important question. the story comes out over the weekend and the media jump on it. the candidates jump on it. it comes to this conclusion that we need to impeach brett kavanaugh and then the newspaper itself admits in effect that the story is a crock, actually. that the supposed victim doesn't remember it. says she is not a victim. isn't it time then to say oh, wow, now i have new information? i guess we can't impeach him. why isn't anyone saying that. >> let's talk ab

they got text messages in which they discuss defaming leland keyser a suburban mom outside of d.c.ug addict. keyser confirmed this happened as she told the two reporters, quote: i was told behind the scenes that certain things could be spread about me if i didn't comply. now that's an interesting story. former relevant unsupported gossip from a decades old dorm party. it just happened last year. the problem with it though is that the story, the truth of it makes the activist left look like ruthless fascists, why? because they kind of are. the "new york times" suppressed that they didn't want you to know. you should know that. brit hume is fox news senior political analyst and he joins us tonight. so, brit, as a piece of journalism, how do you assess this story? >> this is a story that should never have gotten anywhere near print. i mean, this talking about a second-hand account from the witness did not speak to and is not speaking and he is said by friends this happened, right? it isn't even a firsthand account. right there you have a huge strike against you if you are trying to ge

they have on the record from leland keyser that she doesn't believe her friend.t's blockbuster stuff. they choice to release this other information that turned out to be wrong instead. lou: let me get your sense of two things. what can we do to stop this kind of politics of personal destruction on the part of the left? left or right, it's got to stop. >> it absolutely need to be taken seriously. one of the things that's interesting is nobody has been held accountable for what they did to kavanaugh last year. there were criminal referrals sent to the department of justice. none of the senators have had any action taken against them whether they were releasing confidential documents like cory booker or what dianne feinstein did getting the letter out, she circumvented the process the senate judiciary committee has. something need to be done. people need to be held accountable. if they are not held accountable, they will never stop as we see this weekend with the "new york times." lou: do you think the "new york times" should fire these two reporters? >> not just th

leland keyser one of the tragic in this.ome out and talked about the emotional impact this sort of bullying that her grown adult friends put on her had on her life. >> her own son has talked about this and in the web page that you can find on the internet about what she went through. that it took a lot of courage, that she had everything in her life threatened and we did first report this in justice on trial there are a few additional details about just how much people were willing to go after her. but it's about her. it's about people like brett kavanaugh seeing how people can just go wild with allegations. not caring about the damage done of a reputation of a man who is a real person with a wife and children and who has a right to not have his name smeared wit foundless or unfounded accusations or baseless accusations and smears. >> i think of susan collins when passions are inflamed, justice is most in jeopardy. and i think that is the watch phrase for the way that we approach all of this going forward. people's lives are

they reported it was leland keyser who would not substantiate the story of this.ow they are saying the bombshell in this new book by the two "times" reporters is the same thing they reported in their book, apparently, i hope they credited justice on trial, but i don't know that to be the case. i am sure integrity would require them to do so. >> they are not going to impeach him and intimidate him. lou: kavanaugh? even dick durbin was sick to his stomac he puked sat what he's witnesses. you have several of the 2020 hopefuls, before they realized there was more to this story they were calling for his impeachment by god. >> the reality is it's down to two or three candidates. the wall street poll has warren moving up on bind and it's a two-way race at this time. my expectation is they are making biden the conservative of the democratic party, it shows you how far to the left they have gone. lou: the president wants to turn new mexico into a red state. now he's in the heart of new mexico talking about record-low unemployment for hispanics. the greatest formation of sm

this friend leland keyser is on the record for the first time. e doesn't recall the incident one way or another. at the time in 2018 she said to a reporter, dr. ford is my friend, and i believe her. after that, later in the process and during the fbi investigation last fall, she reflected on it. had an initial meeting with the fbi at which she said whatever she could recall. she then went back, rested, really thought hard about the events being discussed. looked at high school photographs of brett kavanaugh circulating around and decided she didn't find him to be a familiar face at all. she had dated his very good friend mark judge who was alleged to be in the room during the alleged blasey ford assault. she dated him briefly. she knew some of those boys but kavanaugh's face didn't ring a bell. she also thought the circumstances around the alleged incident, the fact that ford had been at a certain country club that day, the fact that it was a relatively small gathering among other things didn't ring right to her. she initiated a second conversatio

for example, one thing that has gone on, interesting stuff in our book about leland keyser the friendford alledgedly at the party. she gives us her first ever interview. interesting and worth a read and very much a part of the behind the scenes drama going on last year which is coming to light. however, we still find christine blasey ford credible in the end and you will see why. kaiser's claims don't rebut blasey ford's claims and kaiser has memory issues discussed which relate to the way memory functions for all of us and because she has a history of substance abuse she acknowledges. i think it's important for all of these things to be seen in the full context. we wanted to share it all with readers. >> trump is using the misstep against a battery round against the no times and people on fox news. >> what does that feel like? >> it's kind of amazing because you hear about it all the time and certainly our colleagues have been subject to it, but it really points out how all of these facts are kind of taken out of context and weaponized for people's own political ends and we think it'

the quote is, it would be i amable pour me, this is leland keyser speaking it would be impossible forold the reporter i just didn't have confidence in the story. brian: between that story, christine blasey ford, swetnick story that michael avenatti involved with, there is so many farce along with this we thought it was in our rear view mirror but when this came out, mollie hemingway, her book a best-seller, did a thorough investigation into this and she didn't know where that came from. listen. >> they're running some kind of campaign against this man. they're unwilling to let it go, even though they did correct the story to admit the entire mem press was false. they are still running stories about impeachment. no one has been held accountable for what has been done to this man. no one on the senate judiciary committee was held accountable for violation of norths. attorneys who lied to their client were not held accountable. criminal referrals sent to the department of justice for false statements, no action was taken on them. the media continues to be allowed to continue in a smear c
