It. that has been discredited or not found credible. we should point out that brett kavanaugh has not attempted rape is how show sees it. i think the thing to remember about what we re about to watch is that it s not a real investigation. it s a show hearing. it s basically two people coming in, giving their stories. there are a lot of other people who could come in, who could be corroborating witnesses who may actually back up what judge kavanaugh has to say. mark judge, we don t know what he would say, but the point is he is not going to be there, when you have somebody who is allegedly a witness under normal circumstances when you re trying to find the truth, you would have that person there. debbie ramirez, who is another person who has made an accusation who is willing to testify, will not be there, and according to her lawyers, the judiciary committee won t even return the phone calls. this isn t a real attempt at
Christine blasey ford will appear before the senate judiciary committee and under oath accuse a united states supreme court nominee of sexually assaulting her decades ago. brett kavanaugh will also testify to deny her claims. here are the accusations made by professor ford, who is professor of a university in california. she says he physically and sexually assaulted her when they were both in high school. he was 17. she was 15. she says that a drunken brett kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her, and held his hand to her mouth to keep her from screaming. brett kavanaugh adamantly denies her allegations and says the incident with ford never happened. president trump is standing by. his nominee, the president labeling the accusations against brett kavanaugh as, quote, a
Made earlier, if you are mitch mcconnell, the last thing you wanted puz the president talking about this because he causes repumgs. mr. president, you say less, i might be able to pull this off because they understand the delicate nature. but the country is more fair than this town is. this republican who was texting with us made the point that republicans don t believe democrats anymore than believe they re completely corrupt. the republican base believes they re kor rumt and therefore they believe this is a set up of brett kavanaugh. no matter what happens. we re awaiting the arrivals of christine blasey ford and judge brett kavanaugh as they get ready to testify. stay with us. take us downtown, waze. waze integration-
Do. after questioning, professor ford will leave the hearing room and after a break, judge brett kavanaugh will be sworn in. he will read his opening statement and he will be questioned. let s discuss, jake, as we have been saying, the stakes are enormous for both individuals. but if he does not do well this morning and he loses two republican senators and no democrats support him, it s over. and that s it. that s why this is so nerve wracking and the stakes are so high, is because if she comes across credibly and he comes across not credibly or at least at the same level that he was in his fox news interview with president trump and others didn t think that was that strong, all you need is two senators, two republican senators, to say i just can t do it. i just can t do it. we re not convicting him of a crime, but this is about a supreme court appointment. that s why so much rides on today. we don t know how credible blasey ford will be.
Democrats really pounded away, comparing his testimony this time around to earlier testimony on the hill, things that he had said that he was pulling back from. so i think that he has a really steep hill to climb that frankly clarence thomas didn t have the same one back in 1991 because he had spoken so much in terms of his own personal identity, whereas the personal identity we have seen of brett kavanaugh was quite evasive to this point. that s a difficult measure for him. the great wild card i think in this hearing is rachel mitchell, the prosecutor. because who is the defendant here? who is she going to cross examine in an aggressive way? because both of them have vulnerabilities to a real cross-examination. what house was it? you don t know. what date was it? you don t know. who else was present? you don t know. you could make her look bad. you could also go to brett
