supposed to be here, because, you know, this is such a big day. this is such a big day. i was supposed to call you. they said, do you mind calling chris cobach, and do you mind because of the fact today we are getting this great, great talented wonderful supreme court judge, they said could you call the people of kansas and tell them we won t be able to make it tonight. i said, i don t have the courage to do that. i don t have the courage. i said i don t have the courage. they called me, they said, sir, we re signing the next united states supreme court justice. you ve heard it. the biggest thing a president can do, they re always said is supreme court justice, the biggest.
at a campaign rally in topeka, kansas, sounding like a campaigner in his comments, but we wanted to listen in certainly, because it was our first opportunity to hear the president really reacting to today s events and the historic moment that it was. brett kavanaugh being sworn in as the new supreme court justice. that ceremony happening within the last couple hours. the president commented how he signed the justice s commission, and he also mentioned there will be a public swearing-in ceremony, more symbolic for kavanaugh on monday night at 7:00 p.m. as he has been really working the crowd, he talked about the protesters that have also been out in force today, including at the supreme court, and they are still out around the country with new protests popping up. i want to bring you live pictures from seattle, where we

from the 200 people or less you know what? those people, they couldn t fit in the front row. look what we have here tonight. they threw away and threw aside every notion of fairness, of justice, of decency, and of due process. nobody has seen anything like it. but each of you will have a chance in just four weeks to render user vertebra on the democrats conduct at the ballot box. got to vote. got to vote. on november 6, you will have the chance to stop the radical democrats and that s what they have become by electing a republican house and a
