the burden is on the woman, it's on the woman to stand up her allegations, it's on the woman to have to explain why she didn't come forward sooner and report an alleged assault and i think that they very much see brett kavanaugh as really crystallizing a lot of those themes. now, whether that's going to have any bearing on his confirmation, we'll see, but certainly it does indicate there could be some backlash at the polls in november if he's confirmed. >> can i add the context of the supreme court, where the supreme court is with him about to join it. there's so much in terms of abortion rights, reproductive rights. >> it's going to be a very, very dramatic few days indeed. that's an incredible moment. finally tonight, on a very, very different note, all of us here in the situation room, we want to express our deep gratitude to one of the driving forces behind the scenes of this excellent program, our senior broadcast producer, david. there you see him. wave, david. you're on television. for more than five years, david
