here because these facts are impossible to prove. which leaves this solely in the political realm. do you agree with that? i think benjamin makes a really interesting statement there that this is not a legal issue, judge kavanaugh won t be on trial for sexual assault. instead this is happening at a time where it is up to the senate really to say yes or no to the president s nominee. all of the political rhetoric aside this process has become highly politicized over the last series of nominations. but this is about something more foundational. this is about whether or not judge kavanaugh possesses the character and the qualifications to sit on the supreme court. and so in many awways congress will be in the position of making a gut call about who they believe here. on the timing issue i think much of the conferring misses the point. no one should be surprised that it took a long time for these allegations to surface.
i bet that black guy gets shot a lot. where s he at? where s he at? you know where he s at? put the gun down. where s he at, where s he at? get down, get down. ma am, get down. 834, another male down. you all right? time to find out how i did, and hopefully get a hug? if you felt that you could take this shot, then, yes, you d have been justified. but you elected to try and talk him down, right? yes. it s not a wrong thing to do. that was your gut call. yeah. and, as an officer, you make split-second decisions that people have hours and days to
doing and find other ways around it and other ways to haunt you. how do you think this plays out, sergeant, it s a gut call, i know, but what do you think? i think we have to realize the enemy that we are dealing with. we are dealing with an infestation, they re like cockroaches and i believe that you kill one, you kill two, you kill three, more are going to step up and take their spot. there just has to be some type of exit strategy in order to defeat this and if we are going to do this, we have to go all out and we cannot have our hands tide behind our back as we have in the past few years. if we are going to do this, politically or militarily, we just have to have a really solid exit strategy. neil: now we have said that this was a one-and-done deal. we heard nikki haley at the united nations say if you use chemical weapons, i m paraphrasing, we are going to do
more months and months and months and complicate matters inside the democratic party. you mentioned weeks away. a source familiar with the vice president s thinking says biden s decision is expected at the end of the summer and by that we mean late september, not august when people traditionally think of the end of summer. sources close to biden are nearly all indicating at this point it would be a major surprise for the vice president to get into this race. in the end it may just be a gut call. jim acosta reporting live for us. thanks so much. i ll be right back.
