RUSH TRANSCRIPT The political ░░░░░░░░ the top stories everyone ░░░░░░░░ talking about so let ░░░░░░░░ get to it shall ░░░░░░░░ A Supreme Court nomination ░░░░░░░░ a major me too ░░░░░░░░ Will there still be ░░░░░░░░ confirmation vote for Brett ░░░░░░░░ this Thursday How s ░░░░░░░░ controversy playing out for ░░░░░░░░ as the midterms approach ░░░░░░░░ swing voters and democratic ░░░░░░░░ all in a quandary ░░░░░░░░ his accuser said she ░░░░░░░░ willing to testify in ░░░░░░░░ about her allegation Kavanaugh ░░░░░░░░ would he do whatever ░░░░░░░░ appropriate and he has ░░░░░░░░ a lawyer Howard Franklin ░░░░░░░░ a Democratic strategist and ░░░░░░░░ say cofounder for Trump ░░░░░░░░ to both of you ░░░░░░░░ you Amy Brett Kavanaugh ░░░░░░░░ accuser took a lie ░░░░░░░░ and said she s ░░░░░░░░ to tell her tale ░░░░░░░░ public under oath Brett ░░░░░░░░ said he s also ░░░░░░░░ to come forward and ░░░░░░░░ address these allegations Should ░░░░░░░░ all become public so ░░░░░░░░ can make up their ░░░░░░░░ minds You know Carol ░░░░░░░░ think the Senate Judiciary ░░░░░░░░ should do what they ░░░░░░░░ is necessary They both ░░░░░░░░ said they ll testify ░░░░░░░░ that s what they ░░░░░░░░ to do is fwring ░░░░░░░░ then that s what ░░░░░░░░ should do I did ░░░░░░░░ she should be heard ░░░░░░░░ at the same time ░░░░░░░░ do think that Brett ░░░░░░░░ should be heard I ░░░░░░░░ the big question here ░░░░░░░░ why did Democrats sit ░░░░░░░░ this for over two ░░░░░░░░ and drop this at ░░░░░░░░ 11th hour right when ░░░░░░░░ re on the eve ░░░░░░░░ the confirmation vote semithink ░░░░░░░░ say political I have ░░░░░░░░ challenge you a little ░░░░░░░░ on that I don ░░░░░░░░ think they dropped it ░░░░░░░░ the last moment A ░░░░░░░░ woman did not want ░░░░░░░░ story to become public ░░░░░░░░ thought she had to ░░░░░░░░ something because he might ░░░░░░░░ on the U S ░░░░░░░░ Court right I guess ░░░░░░░░ initially told her story ░░░░░░░░ July But why didn ░░░░░░░░ she And then was ░░░░░░░░ by journalists from intercept ░░░░░░░░ outed her name and ░░░░░░░░ buzz feed surrounded her ░░░░░░░░ and then she decided ░░░░░░░░ had to come forward ░░░░░░░░ tell her story the ░░░░░░░░ she saw it then ░░░░░░░░ now So why didn ░░░░░░░░ she come forward when ░░░░░░░░ was appointed to the ░░░░░░░░ C Court When he ░░░░░░░░ appointed as a federal ░░░░░░░░ I mean it s ░░░░░░░░ like this is a ░░░░░░░░ that has emerged from ░░░░░░░░ private sector and all ░░░░░░░░ a sudden is becoming ░░░░░░░░ public servant He s ░░░░░░░░ out there for years ░░░░░░░░ years and there s ░░░░░░░░ nothing on him He ░░░░░░░░ gone through six FBI ░░░░░░░░ he went through this ░░░░░░░░ two months meeting 65 ░░░░░░░░ individually hours of phone ░░░░░░░░ four days of testimony ░░░░░░░░ 000 pages of written ░░░░░░░░ to 1300 questions and ░░░░░░░░ additional 1200 answers I ░░░░░░░░ we can go on ░░░░░░░░ on Why now on ░░░░░░░░ eve of the vote ░░░░░░░░ I will only say ░░░░░░░░ isn t an easy ░░░░░░░░ but Howard and Amy ░░░░░░░░ a lot of fair ░░░░░░░░ Howard your thoughts You ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ of us are in ░░░░░░░░ position to judge the ░░░░░░░░ of someone coming forward ░░░░░░░░ allegations like these I ░░░░░░░░ to Amy s earlier ░░░░░░░░ I think the American ░░░░░░░░ deserve to hear from ░░░░░░░░ the nominee and his ░░░░░░░░ It sounds like there ░░░░░░░░ credible evidence that they ░░░░░░░░ have very well been ░░░░░░░░ the same school in ░░░░░░░░ same place and it ░░░░░░░░ like there is there ░░░░░░░░ a record of her ░░░░░░░░ spoken about this and ░░░░░░░░ counseling and In 2012 ░░░░░░░░ s exactly right So ░░░░░░░░ don t think we ░░░░░░░░ in a position knowing ░░░░░░░░ little we do about ░░░░░░░░ accusation to either assail ░░░░░░░░ timeline or to assail ░░░░░░░░ person who s the ░░░░░░░░ I think what has ░░░░░░░░ happen now say full ░░░░░░░░ I think if you ░░░░░░░░ paying attention a lot ░░░░░░░░ folks acknowledged that this ░░░░░░░░ nominee had been rushed ░░░░░░░░ process hadn t been ░░░░░░░░ to play itself out ░░░░░░░░ you look at other ░░░░░░░░ Court nominees they ve ░░░░░░░░ lasted months and months ░░░░░░░░ vetting in terms of ░░░░░░░░ know the American people ░░░░░░░░ their say I would ░░░░░░░░ to ask Amy one ░░░░░░░░ If conservatives were so ░░░░░░░░ about Bill Clinton and ░░░░░░░░ past right and he ░░░░░░░░ never charged with any ░░░░░░░░ then why shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ be just as concerned ░░░░░░░░ this allegation against judge ░░░░░░░░ Listen I think any ░░░░░░░░ there s an allegation ░░░░░░░░ sexual assault or rape ░░░░░░░░ all should be concerned ░░░░░░░░ mean I think that ░░░░░░░░ our responsibility as individuals ░░░░░░░░ society But what concerns ░░░░░░░░ Carol is that you ░░░░░░░░ somebody coming forward 35 ░░░░░░░░ years later making this ░░░░░░░░ claim with no corroboration ░░░░░░░░ witnesses or anything That ░░░░░░░░ know of Well I ░░░░░░░░ where has she been ░░░░░░░░ that s the question ░░░░░░░░ has she been Democrats ░░░░░░░░ there was more evidence ░░░░░░░░ Bill Clinton raping Juanita ░░░░░░░░ Democrats didn t care ░░░░░░░░ right now Keith Ellison ░░░░░░░░ s evidence of him ░░░░░░░░ his girlfriend recently 911 ░░░░░░░░ and Democrats don t ░░░░░░░░ to care about it ░░░░░░░░ concerns me is that ░░░░░░░░ is being used for ░░░░░░░░ reasons Any time So ░░░░░░░░ think she s lying ░░░░░░░░ I was about to ░░░░░░░░ anytime there is anything ░░░░░░░░ do with sexual assault ░░░░░░░░ think that it needs ░░░░░░░░ be handled in a ░░░░░░░░ manner I think you ░░░░░░░░ to get to the ░░░░░░░░ of it Unfortunately at ░░░░░░░░ point in time we ░░░░░░░░ never going to know ░░░░░░░░ this is was true ░░░░░░░░ not because it can ░░░░░░░░ be proven or disproven ░░░░░░░░ don t know it ░░░░░░░░ a high school party ░░░░░░░░ they went to separate ░░░░░░░░ by the way but ░░░░░░░░ was a high school ░░░░░░░░ from the were people ░░░░░░░░ that party If the ░░░░░░░░ investigates and find witnesses ░░░░░░░░ the party that corroborate ░░░░░░░░ story we just don ░░░░░░░░ know We don t ░░░░░░░░ And Howard I would ░░░░░░░░ posture that shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ FBI get to the ░░░░░░░░ of this Shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ of these people speak ░░░░░░░░ about what exactly they ░░░░░░░░ happened at this party ░░░░░░░░ the man is going ░░░░░░░░ serve on the U ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court for life ░░░░░░░░ he is confirmed That ░░░░░░░░ right It s a ░░░░░░░░ time appointment I can ░░░░░░░░ take as much consideration ░░░░░░░░ the argument that when ░░░░░░░░ was appointed lower courts ░░░░░░░░ this woman should have ░░░░░░░░ forward Obviously this is ░░░░░░░░ very personal decision it ░░░░░░░░ as if some of ░░░░░░░░ some of the timeline ░░░░░░░░ that decision was out ░░░░░░░░ her hands And it ░░░░░░░░ wasn t up to ░░░░░░░░ Howard Sure I just ░░░░░░░░ to say why can ░░░░░░░░ not take that into ░░░░░░░░ that she should have ░░░░░░░░ forward then Because you ░░░░░░░░ saying that it was ░░░░░░░░ on therapist s notes ░░░░░░░░ 2012 but she Okay ░░░░░░░░ wait a minute Amy ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t have paid ░░░░░░░░ She went to a ░░░░░░░░ because this affected her ░░░░░░░░ life That s right ░░░░░░░░ high school That s ░░░░░░░░ she went to couple ░░░░░░░░ counseling My point Because ░░░░░░░░ couldn t have a ░░░░░░░░ relationship with her husband ░░░░░░░░ point is Or other ░░░░░░░░ My This apparently was ░░░░░░░░ difficult for her I ░░░░░░░░ to gift full picture ░░░░░░░░ people that s all ░░░░░░░░ not just a woman ░░░░░░░░ might be Democrat who ░░░░░░░░ rushing forward to sink ░░░░░░░░ man s career Well ░░░░░░░░ didn t say she ░░░░░░░░ a Democrat I mean ░░░░░░░░ doesn t matter to ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ she is What political ░░░░░░░░ she is If it ░░░░░░░░ your muss or Howard ░░░░░░░░ alleged this sort of ░░░░░░░░ against you R you ░░░░░░░░ want the right to ░░░░░░░░ you would want people ░░░░░░░░ give outbenefit of the ░░░░░░░░ innocent until proven guilty ░░░░░░░░ In America it s ░░░░░░░░ due process and what ░░░░░░░░ happening here is we ░░░░░░░░ cruise fying a man ░░░░░░░░ convicting him in the ░░░░░░░░ and he hasn t ░░░░░░░░ a chance to talk ░░░░░░░░ this I don t ░░░░░░░░ he s been convicted ░░░░░░░░ this point I think ░░░░░░░░ has I think the ░░░░░░░░ to talk about this ░░░░░░░░ both their perspectives will ░░░░░░░░ him an opportunity to ░░░░░░░░ exactly what happened I ░░░░░░░░ right now we re ░░░░░░░░ from the White House ░░░░░░░░ he unequivocally denies this ░░░░░░░░ we haven t heard ░░░░░░░░ him He gave a ░░░░░░░░ He issued two statements ░░░░░░░░ sies he has no ░░░░░░░░ of this event he ░░░░░░░░ t know who this ░░░░░░░░ is He s now ░░░░░░░░ the White House talking ░░░░░░░░ the White House legal ░░░░░░░░ That s right About ░░░░░░░░ to hand this will ░░░░░░░░ forward before the Senate ░░░░░░░░ Committee and that s ░░░░░░░░ I have to end ░░░░░░░░ because the story s ░░░░░░░░ evolving But thanks to ░░░░░░░░ of you for talk ░░░░░░░░ it.
