Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The Story With Martha MacCallum 20181001

Martha weve got a big lineup. Senate judiciary member john kennedy is standing by and judge Andrew Napolitano but we begin to time the chief National Correspondent ed henry who joins us live from the white house. Good evening. Martha, great to see you. First monday in october, the Supreme Court opened its new term but only eight justices. Senate republican leader Mitch Mcconnell revealed late this afternoon he will have an upper or down vote later this week to determine whether or not judge Brett Kavanaugh will be the ninth justice to go to the court and fill it up. That will be determined largely by this fbi investigation that you heard from the president is very much under way. They were working late at night, through the weekend, do you get it done. He said, the president , he is not putting any restrictions on it, despite reports over the weekend to the contrary. In fact, we just learned kavanaugh friend mark judge has talked to the fbi through his lawyer, and his lawyer says the fbi has not finished it yet, though, so maybe they have more questions for mark judge. Remember, a deadline of friday was set, not by the president come about by the senators, who cut the deal. Republican jeff flake, democrat chris coons, a oneweek probe by the fbi to focus on what was said to be current and credible allegations like the charge from dr. Christine ford, not necessarily new ones. But chris coons cracked the door open to expanding this by saying in interviews he cant control what new allegations may pop up. Sure enough, other unverified chargers are popping up. A Washington Post story quoting a former yale classmate is claiming kavanaugh was a violent drunk by the white house putting out statements from other classmates saying that is. Msnbc airing an interview with Julie Swetnick who claims they were gang rapes in High School Even though nbc could not corroborate this information with anyone else. All this coming as Mitch Mcconnell charge that democrats will try to drag this fbi probe out to be on friday. After it runs its course in the next few days, we will then be treated to a lecture, a lecture, that anything short of a totally unfounded fishing expedition of indefinite duration is too limited or too arbitrary, you can practically hear the sounds of the democrats moving the goal posts. The white house seems to be micromanaging and history jacketing and investigation that must uncover the facts and evidence. That was democrat richard blumenthal. Remember, he got a tongue lashing in the rose garden from the president who said he lied about his vietnam war record. The president says he hasnt put the fbi investigation and a straitjacket in the president also said there were other unnamed democrats hed seen and compromising positions suggesting they had been inebriated. Watch. My white house will do whatever the senators bond. What they are doing to this man and his family is very, very sad and very bad for our nation. Look at blumenthal. He lied about vietnam. He didnt just say, hey, i went to vietnam. For 15 years he said he was a war hero and he is out there saying, we need honesty and we need integrity. I know them. I know them too well. You know what . They are not angels. Could you tell us who want exactly no, no. I think i will save it for a book like everybody else. Then theres arizona prosecutor rachel mitchell, who helped the republican senators asked questions at last thursdays hearing. Shes put together a memo for republic and senators who said this is a basically he saidshe said and that there is simply several holes in christine fords story. Martha . Martha thank you very much. Joining me now, louisiana senator john kennedy, who we saw throughout the course of this last week sitting up there on the dais with the Judiciary Committee and he says he believes judge kavanaughs denial and he plans to vote for him. Senator, thank you very much. Good to have you here this evening. So tell me a little bit about your reaction to the latest because as we all knew, if there was a weeklong delay, there was likely to be new information and today, we have this interview that was done with Julie Swetnick, where she was asked about the charge of gang rape that she says happened to her at a party she was at and she claims that she saw mark judge and Brett Kavanaugh standing in line at similar parties, and you asked directly about this during the hearing. Lets play what Julie Swetnick had to say and i would like your reaction, senator. What happened to me is probably the most horrendous, awful thing that could happen to any human being. I cannot specifically say that he was one of the ones who assaulted me. I saw him around the punch i wouldnt say bowls, the punch containers, i dont know what he did. But i saw him buy them. Martha your reaction, senator . This entire thing makes me want to heave. If you think this is about searching for the truth, you ought to put down the bomb. This is not about the truth. This is about gamesmanship and power, political politics. It is just that simple. Julie swetnick, there is no corroboration. She says that she attended ten gang rapes at which judge kavanaugh was supposedly involved. She didnt report any of them. She is represented by mr. Avenatti, who has done his best to make all of us about mr. Avenatti. I dont think anybody in the milky way could be surprised that the democrats are yet again moving the goal posts. There is nothing we can do to get our democratic friends to consider voting for judge kavanaugh. The only way to make them happy is to pull him down and i guess dig up bill douglas and nominate him and anybody else who thinks otherwise is just kidding themselves. Look, this is what the democrats say. They say that Brett Kavanaugh is a rich, drunk, lying, sexual predator. Hes been through six fbi background checks, each of which is a cross between an endoscopy and colonoscopy and none of this was turned up. Now he is going through the seventh one, which the democrats demanded, and we are not even halfway through probably and now they are unhappy with that. Give me a break. I mean, i think the people up here in washington, the cosmopolitan cultured crowd, they think the American People are stupid. The American People have figured this out, regardless of what they think about judge kavanaugh. They figured this out. Martha im curious about what you think, i know that you think that they are both going to happen this weekend we have heard that they are going through these investigations fairly quickly in the place that appears to be happening. What do you think senator joe manchin will do . What do you think your fellow senators will do . What you think senator donnelly will do when it comes down to an actual vote . I dont know. But its time for senators to be senators. And to grow some guts. And to woman up or man up and cast a vote. And the longer we wait, the more allegations are going to come out. Now there is a professor down in North Carolina, at North Carolina state, he says that judge kavanaugh drink excess. Some of his other classmates said he didnt. Keep in mind, this was 40 years ago martha we have that, its a quick spot. Lets take a listen to it so Everybody Knows what you are referring to. His past actions on national television, especially while speaking under oath in front of United States senate, i believe those lies should have consequences. It is truth that is at stake and i believe that the ability to speak the truth even when it does not reflect well upon oneself is a paramount quality we seek in our nations most powerful judges. You never saw him pass out . I never saw him pass out but i saw him quite drunk. Martha there you have it. Im going to stand by what i said two weeks ago. This is a freak show. Enter galactic freak show. Its a grotesque carnival. Its only going to get worse. I am embarrassed for the United States senate. We have hit bottom and started to dig. Martha let me ask you about your colleague, senator flake. He made a number of appearances after friday, on 60 minutes, did an event in central park in new york where he talked to the crowd about maybe i have seen you in the elevator, referring to the women who were confronting him in the elevator, he did another appearance in boston. What do you make of all that . Jeff is going to have to vote his conscience. And he and senator coons got together and decided that we needed a delay. I have yet to hear senator coons, who is a good friend of mine, i have a world of respect for him, but i havent yet i will bet you right now about how chris votes on this nomination finally. I just dont think there is anything that we can do to get democratic votes. I dont. Maybe joe manchin, maybe Heidi Heitkamp come but i think everybody has drawn their conclusion. I mean, kavanaugh has been through six, no fbi background checks. Martha that sounds like you dont have the numbers to vote, to bring him in. I really dont know. But i do think this, this isnt like wine, its not going to get better with time, and its time for everybody to woman up and man up and be a senator and cast your vote in front of god and country. I am fully trust to be fbi, i want to wait and see what they turn up, but i have a feeling that they are going to do just what we have already done, just what they did six previous times, and by the way, it keeps getting lost in this, of the Senate Judiciary investigators did a full investigation. All the fbi is going to redo what they have already done. Martha the senate has subpoena power. This fbi investigation is not, correct . Its never going to be enough. When we finish with the fbi investigation, the democrats will argue, well, theyre going to argue he doesnt have the demeanor. Well, they called him a rich, drunk, longing, sexual predator. And the man took offense to that. And they say as a result he doesnt have the demeanor to get on to be in the Supreme Court . They must really think the American People are stupid. Martha senator kennedy, thank you. Always good to have you with us. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Martha Andrew Napolitano, fox news sr. Traditional analyst joins me. You can hear the exasperation in his voice. Its all over the place. I think he, perhaps a more colorful language than a lot of his colleagues, nevertheless, represents the feel of most republicans in the senate at this point. Theres not much more they can do. I have a lot of faith in the fbi, even if they are just doing this and for five days. I understand theres a lot of fbi agents out there, the president was speaking truthfully that they are working around the clock on this. They are not political, they couldnt care less about republicans or democrats. They probably are indifferent to whether or not judge kavanaugh is confirmed. Their goal is just to extract evidence and witnesses and presented to the white house. We want what you think about what james comey said . He thought it was idiocy to try to put a clock on the fbi. I agree with james comey but it does appear as though they did half full, or will have had, the time to complete this by the end of the week. I was very gratified when the president said today, let them go wherever they want, within reason. Of course within reason. But the professor from North Carolina, he should be interviewed. The fbi doesnt form a judgment, they are the best interrogators in the western world. They know how to crosscheck. They know how to present questions that will test the truthfulness of the person giving the answer. Martha they will turn this information to the senate Judiciary Committee, to the senators, who have already done a lengthy investigation. One of the things that they have been pushing hard on is to try to prove that he blacked out. If they can prove he blacked out from drinking even once, i guess you can say perhaps he blacked out during these events . No. I think that their goal is to prove that he blacked out and thereby misled the congress because misleading the congress martha there are two sides to it. Of course there are two sides. First of all, blacking out as a student i dont want to get in trouble for saying this its not a crime, its not a good thing, but its not a crime. But Misleading Congress about that can be. Martha the reason he was pressed on that issue was if he had ever blacked out from drinking, they are think that its possible that you dont remember these events. That is the whole reason for that question. ] are they going to vote not to confirm him on the basis of possibilities or probabilities . Anything is possible, which is why we are going through this fbi martha you could say anyone who has ever blacked out from drinking potentially committed a crime. I think the fbi examination will actually help him. I think it will give cover to the senators that you asked about, democrats, moderate democrats, running in states where the president carried, which the president carried handily into thousand 16, this will give them the cover. We got the extra fbi and they didnt find anything new so im going with this. Martha very interesting. Joe donnelly on friday i think that he was a no than over the weekend he started to say he was a may be. I gotta believe he is getting a lot of calls. Perlis for judge kavanaugh because this investigation should have taken before he was testifying under oath. Martha great to see you. Fox news alert in a very busy night.
