called out the extraordinary scene. this is a nomination, confirmation hearing for supreme court nominee and they are talking about a 17-year-old s yearbook. and what did the keg party need and what did renate alumnius mean. he called out the absurdity. the game the democrats are playing and i think he kind of called ds on them called b.s. on them. bret: let s take a listen on that from senator graham. if you wanted an fbi investigation, you could have come to us. what you want to do is destroy this guy s life, hold the seat open, and hope you win in 2020. you have said that, not me. you have got nothing to apologize for. when you see sotomayor and kagan telling them that lindsey graham
emotional. now he has done that now, and wait a second. hold on. he has to dial it back and be a judge again. which one is it? the standard model is that you absorb whatever the committee throws at you and you are deferential at all times. that can work. in a situation like this, it wasn t working so we turned the tables. i think it was the right thing to do and i think it was heartfelt. you could tell from the emotion that it doesn t just come out of nowhere. i don t know that it depends to me on how the senators react to him. they are polite and courteous as senator klobuchar was, seems to me that someone if we get a spartacus moment from senator booker, may be more of this and would appropriate. i think we had a very different place than we were at the end of the morning. bret: references to the first hearing in which he said it was his i am spartacus moment. he said when he delivered coffee, it was his i am
combined. god bless him. they also like that line of questioning of the yearbook from senator sheldon whitehouse. they believe the judge minimized, made stupid the questions about the yearbook. when the issue of boofing he judge kavanaugh said we are talking about flatulence. that was a turning point as well. the president very happy with the way kavanaugh is comported himself at this point he thought his opening statement was very, very strong. the white house thinks that might ve been a turning point as well. one official did tell me that since they enter the questioning and marie, i think you mentioned it, they think he is a little hopped, at some point. maybe he needs to dial it back at some points but the president is very happy with the way things are going so far. bret: john roberts live on the north lawn. that was quite something, sheldon whitehouse.
and i wasn t describing me. senator, let me finish your please. i organized a third-year end of school party for 30 of my classmates to rent a bus to go to fenway park in boston which was about a three hour trip. i bought all the tickets. you and i have discussed that before. i bought all the baseball tickets. i rented the boss. i organized the whole trip. we went to fenway park. roger clemens was pitching for the red sox. we had a great time. george bret was playing third base for the royals. actually was playing left field. and we went to the game and got back and then we went out, it was a great night of friendship. i apologize for interrupting, judge. i need to finish the quote before i ask you the question. i wasn t talking about the quote ends that you try to piece things back together to recall what happened that
output republicans who may be on the fence on the spot. bret: here is the durbin exchange. we are going to abide by your wishes and we will have that investigation. i welcome whatever the committee wants to do because i am telling the truth. i want to know what you want to do. i am telling the truth. i want to know what you want to do. i m innocent. i am innocent of this charge. you are prepared for an fbi investigation? they don t reach investigations. bret: it had a little feeling of a few good men there. you can t handle the truth. it s interesting, this continues to be the theme. he continues to say i will do whatever you want. there was also a moment where he said turned to don magana tell them right now to pause this entire thing, the chairman will understand. we can get the investigation and then he can come back. grassley, who was the chairman of this thing, he has presided over 14 different supreme court
