phone call to continue to discuss but it is progress and is news that she will testify next week, david? john, i want you to react as well, you ve been following back and forth between the committee and dr. ford as well. what are the news we are getting that she does intend to testify on capitol hill. we will have extraordinary personal and political theater if she does testify in front of congress and we all see it. this is certainly something that has enflamed a lot of passions on both sides of the aisle and along gender lines, seeing women across the country talking about sexual assault in the wake of the allegations that dr. ford has brought against judge kavanaugh. this going to be a closely watched moment, certainly politically one the republicans hoped to avoid. it seemed kavanaugh was on the glide pabadge
the number of complaint that were filed the following year were doubled. it s just a different world that we live in today. and i don t know how it would play out it would certainly play out between those who believed him and believed her. i m sure that s true. but whether it s so much along gender lines. whether it s this is not a good way to go about it. it s why her lawyers would love to have the some effort to interview people by the fbi. it s also why republicans are upset that they don t have the full letter. so they don t have. trace: right. they don t have a date when they think this is supposed to have happened. so, if you don t when you are in a negotiation, if each side has something the other side wants, there is some give in the joints is all i m saying. trace: it looks like negotiation is still going
accepting girls next year. the programs are divided along gender lines, single-sex units. girls can get in but almost sounds like girl scouts within the boy scouts. here is what a leader of one of the groups says, not the main organization, he says get over it, the scout program is the finest youth program in the world and there is no reason not to be collated every reason to be covered. there is no valid reason not to be coed. unless i misunderstand they re going to become it in name but the girls are going to be in a track and the girls will be in a track. they have some coed events they are doing but it does look like a marketing ploy, the precipitous decline in membership put them in financial problems. let s not overlook what brought
girls next year. the programs will be divided along gender lines. girls can get in but it s almost sounds like a girl scouts within the boy scouts. here s where the boy scouts members, later one of the group said not the he said get over. it s the finest program in the world and there s not any reason to be coed. future farmers of america is correct, 4h, no valid reason not to be coed. unless i m misunderstanding it, they are going to be coed in name but the girls are going to be on a track and the boys will be on a track. they do have some coed events they are doing, my understanding. but it really does look like a marketing ploy. it is a precipitous decline of membership of boy scouts, they are in some financial problems. let s not overlook what brought on that precipitous decline. it has been promote for the past few decades, there been outside left-wing activist groups trying to force change.
