would be very anxious to know. maybe we could have a new investigation in that. republicans could start one immediately. like tomorrow. would democrats participate in an investigation to find out who leaked christine ford s name no the press? probably not. they seem strikingly uninterested in talking about christine ford today. they rarely asked about her when judge kavanaugh on the set. instead they peppered him about the georgetown prep yearbook and how much beer he drank in high school and college. here s one of his responses to that line of questioning. i never sexual assaulted anyone.to there is a bright line between drinking beer, which i gladly do, and which i fully embrace, and sexually assaulting someone which is a violent crime. if every american who drinks beer or every american who drank beer in high school is suddenly presumed guilty of sexual assault, it will be an ugly new place in this country.au
turn, he wasn t having any questioning done by somebody else. he made as powerful statement and denunciation of the process as anyone i have heard from anybody in this town and i have been around a long time.tu tucker: unbelievable moment. we ll play clips on that in a minute if you missed it. that was a moment. i will never forget that. brit hume, thank you very much. you bet. tucker: in the testimony earlier today, chrstine blasey ford said she had no doubt she was the victim of brett kavanaugh 36 years ago. dr. ford, with what degree of certainty do you believe brett kavanaugh assaulted you? 100%. tucker: senator lindsey graham who has been a judge, a defense attorney, said much more was needed. shortly after kavanaugh s opening statement, he denounced the entire process as a sham and a disgrace with a level of vehemence we almost never see in the u.s. senate. watch this. if you wanted an f.b.i. investigation, you could have come to us. what you want to do is destroy t
a tie when it comes to personal credibility. so how do you break the tie? i think one way is to look for corroboration. and he has much more corroboration on his side. now the best way to make sureat that corroboration is accurate is for the committee to call the other witnesses. and let the f.b.i. continue its background check. and i think in the end, it will do him more good than harm. tucker: now when we spoke yesterday, you said that you were concerned about the choice of rachel mitchell from maricopa county sex crimes investigation office inel arizona to speak on behalf of republican senators if they question chrstine ford. your point well, we have a clip.. i ll show you your point. sure. i see the greatest engine of truth ever invented used effectively, cross examination. i worry we don t have the right people. the woman hired to conduct theef
i never committed sexual t assault. tucker: when they were demanding answers about the high school yearbook, democrats stalled for time. they did that to try to get another f.b.i. investigation into kavanaugh. why aren t you also asking the f.b.i. to investigate the claims? judge kavanaugh, will you support an f.b.i. investigation right now? you could actually just get this open so we can talk to these witnesses. and the f.b.i. can do it instead of us. are you willing to ask the white house to authorize the f.b.i. to investigate claims made against you? tucker: an f.b.i. investigation sounds reasonable. i would be the seventh f.b.i. investigation that has looked deeply into brett kavanaugh s personal conduct. he was once staff secretary to president of the united states and had the highest level of security clearance this country gives. one that gave him access to america s nuclear codes.
