mr. chairman. i have a 12-minute preamble and an 18 minutes of comments. in all seriousness, i hope to beat senator flake in being brief. first off to ashley know that margaret and liza are gone, but you've gone through a very difficult day and you've held up well, to your parents, judge kavanaugh, i've got to compliment you on your mother's composure, i'm pretty sure my mother would have been out of the chair by now. so i appreciate all that you've done. you've obviously raised your son right. you know, i think we need to go back and recognize, we were going to be here this wasn't going to be a kumbayah moment. we had every member on this committee either publicly state or participate in a press conference before the sun had set on the first 24 hours of your nomination that they were going to vote against you. now we're asking for all kinds of documents and you're getting them. as a matter of fact, i think that the chair has done an extraordinary job. he started ott on this process by offering acquiring as many as a million documents, we determined because of duplication and relevance, it was only half a million. and they've all been prov

mr. shapiro said in the last hour that he thought that the event was something good at the end, and i wonder if ashleyvanaugh would agree with that. when i saw dr. feinstein looking rather abashed when judge kavanaugh was railing out, as i think any human being would do, she seemed to be the only one who was a little bit sam a shame that they held the letter so long. it was her law firm. i find it strange that she had no idea about the coming to california. all of a sudden, she does like him when before, the lawyer said she could not fly. this is tradecraft, to me, it is black ops stuff. i do not think the democrats realize that people are aware that they are doing. i was surprised that mr. shapiro did not answer a question about a broker and the other two liberals, who apparently can abuse women and not have anybody call them on it. host: what do you think about how president trump has reacted to this entire last two or three days? he is normal very active on twitter and very stringent on his opinion. he has been less on twitter over the last couple of days. guest: this is consistent from what you ha

the president came because ashley was the president's secretary and brett was his aide. so, they met at the white house and the president and mrs. bush were there. >> what struck you about the relationship? >> both very dedicated to this country, one. dedicated, i think, to use their best gifts as good as they have. i was struck also by the love that they found in each other was kind of it made sense. working together, they were in the same political discussions, i'm sure. i'm sure they used to work at the white house. i'm sure some of the drama there. they had to deal with all those issues and through that found love for each other and became married. i was there for the wedding and i also baptized both girls. >> as adults now, what do you talk about when you see him? >> we talk, first of all, sports. >> it seems to be a common theme. >> he loves sports. you know, he's a big caps fan, big nats fan. so, that is always the first conversation. so, when he comes and serves dinner here, which he has done to time since the nomination. before the nomination he came here 10, 12, 15 times. both times, the caps hat on. right inside the

mr. chairman. i have a 12 minute preamble and 18 minutes of comments. in all seriousness, i hope to beat senator flake in being great. first off to ashley.w that margaret lies are gone. we have gone through a difficult day and you've held up well. to your parents, judge kavanaugh, i have to complemepl you on your mother's composure. my mother would have been out of chair by now. i appreciate all you have done. you've obviously raised your son right. we need to go back and recognize. we were going to be here. we had every member on this committee publicly state or participate in a press conference before the sun had set on the first 24 hours of your nomination that they would vote against you. now you're asking for all kinds doch documents and you're getting them. i think the chair that done great job. he start add oed off acquiring million documents. they have all been provided. i'm not an attorney but i'm a technologist and i'm a process person. i know if you get documentation electronically, you can get through it in matter of hours. for the documents that got sent yesterday, you can get through it in matter of hours. they had plenty o

ashley: from a business point of view look at oil prices. they continue to go up and up. iranian president said to mr, i have an idea, keep quiet, stop tweeting. you will be better off with prices. he continues to isolate iran with sanctions and sanctioning those that would iranian oil. that is pushes prices higher. we'll see if that comes up at all. brent crude used by most of the world is above 80 bucks. texas oil, texas crude is 70 bucks, 72. so that continues to creep higher and higher. stuart: that could be one of the indicators, if you're looking for a financial response to the president's speech maybe the price of oil will be that response. maybe the stock market too. we're still up between 20 and 30 points. it is really a pause here, waiting to see what the president will say. and when he is going to say it. it is now 10:32. we're tap dancing here. he is 17 minutes late to the podium. we wish he would take to the podium real fast. 26 points off for the dow jones industrial average. i'm not sure the president of ecuador is winding down just yet. susan: wonder if they talk about trade in his sp
