you have, michael, words of sympathy for dr. ford regardless of what happens? i have a lot of sympathy and respect for dr. ford and i pray that when she does testify before the committee she is given the respect that she deserves, but if it s credible or not that s to be decided but i m listening and i have no prejudgment. arthel: well, we will leave it there, michael, joel ruben, thank you for joining us, fox news can confirm that dr. ford will testify on thursday before the senate judiciary committee, we will have all the coverage wall to wall here on fox news channel as well as on foxnews.com and don t forget about fox business.com as well, thank you, zrre, we will take a sthort break and continue in a
arthel: your response. i agree with many of the things that joel said because i don t want this to become a political circus. i want to get to the truth and i just don t think that an fbi investigation is warranted, he s being investigated over six times, i just want to hear the story and get to the truth, but i will tell you this arthel: michael, hold onto that thought for me because what i want to you is read to you, we have a copy of the letter from debra, the attorney for dr. ford says, dr. ford accepts the committee s request to provide her firsthand knowledge of brett kavanaugh s sexual misconduct next week although many aspects of the proposal you proceeded via e-mail on september 21st, 2018 at are fundamentally inconsistent with the

voluntarily chosen to share information, we do need the facts and legitimate investigation. arthel: what testimony will she provide now that you know dr. long will testify, what do you think it will do to nomination process. when she testifies she can tell testimony. we need more witnesses, we need witnesses who may have direct information and knowledge about what took place. we need witnesses and experts who understand sexual assault and violence, we need a real hearing, it can t be he said, she said, nobody in america will be served including judge kavanaugh by just that. arthel: joel. yes. arthel: michael, beg your pardon. yes, sure.
many conservative judges who are available to go to supreme court, it s not a question of the right of the president to nominate stwun and have a person and we have he or her, ensuring that we have people in the court that will respect the law and look at process issues fairly for all the american people for decades to come. that s what we want sitting in the supreme court and i m worried that after next week we may not center that clarity because we are not following the regular order right now. arthel: michael, what s the rush? the rush is because the process was carried out and all of this came out arthel: it did come out. if you are concerned with the rule of law we are concerned with getting
