which is the moderates in the white house and around the president insisted that kavanaugh was the way to go. he wanted judge amy barrett and walked away from that idea because he could get somebody who was not a culture warrior. well there are no layups anymore. we know that now. 220 people arrested so far, probably 220 people more at the end of this thing. there are no more layup. you mean protesters? there are no more layup. everyone stick around. we ll keep talking about this when we come right back. valerie: but we worry if we have enough to last. cal: ellen, our certified financial planner™ professional, helps us manage our cash flow and plan for the unexpected. valerie: her experience and training gave us the courage to go for it. it s our confident forever plan . cal: .and it s all possible with a cfp® professional. find your certified financial planner™ professional
about this person getting to the supreme court. maryland has eliminated the statute of limitations for kidnapping and for sexual assault of a minor and i think that is still out there. there may be an investigation along those lines. i think this is a situation that will not go away p people from the federalist society and the heritage foundation and they ve spent decades and millions of dollars to lay the groundwork for people like judge kavanaugh and everybody else to get on the court with their very outcome-driven agenda that will not support women s right to choose. basically judge kavanaugh, in particular, very expansive views predicting a sitting president for criminal or civil proceedings and this president, in particular, is aware of that. his mission is self preservation every second, minute, hour of the day. senator hirono, thank you.
first, i do have to ask president trump attacking professor blasey-ford, suggesting that since ford did not report the assault to law enforcement immediately after it occurred, it probably didn t happen. senator susan collins, republican of maine, responded by saying this. i was appalled by the president s tweet. we know that allegations and sexual assault are one of the most unreported crimes that exist. so i thought that the president s tweet was completely inappropriate and broncho. ma am ambassador, what was your response? first of all i m getting ready for 140 heads of states and delegates of the u.n. so i have not been as kavanaugh focused as some of you may have. what i said very clearly is every accuser always deserves the right to be heard. but at the same time the accused
allegations. i think that this kind of attitude is what makes it really difficult for victims and survivors of these kinds of traumatic events to even come forward. we don t seem to have come very far from the anita hill days. as i said for the wall street journal to come out and talk to me about due process or all the women out there that i m hearing about that never came forward, it is really important, not only for these survivors to be heard, but if their stories are as credible as dr. ford s story is, they need to be believed. four people said to be at the party, four described, have denied knowledge of the incident. brett kavanaugh, mark judge, who she said was in the room, pj smith and even ford s long-time friend, leland keyser. there are these statements from the four people she remembers being there, who don t remember the incident or don t even remember being at the party in question, according to her friend, leland keyser, who says
kavanaugh, judge, smith and her friend, leland keyser, have all said they don t remember anything like this happened. and keyser, who believes ford, said she doesn t remember being at a party where kavanaugh was present. that corroborates ford s story was that she was so horrified by this that she kind of snuck out or slunk out of this apartment in a way that no one would know what happened because she was so utterly mortified and she didn t tell anybody for years, which is consistent with the way women, 77% of women behavior when they have been sexually assaulted. so the president saying that calling into question her credibility shows, to me, you know, that this hearing, as it s set up, as a he said, she said, cannot stand as a he said, she
