And destruction. Its the politics of personal destruction. The playbook the democrats continue to use. Scorched earth, resistance movement. They want votes and fundraisers, they are using that power to destroy peoples lives. The American People are not going to be fooled by this political theater. I got its all right all right pete i would say this after this week america, let not your heart be troubled . Who says that . Is it rush . Its hannity. Rachel sean hannity. Pete let not your heart be troubled its saturday morning. Its been a long week. Is there is a lot to talk about. Thankfully griff and rachel are here. Rachel we have a great play list all morning so we are super jazzed up right now. Griff i havent worn a pocket square since i was on this show with rachel. I have my pocket square rocking. Pete looking if he good. Rachel very dapper. I like have you taken that new fashion trend on. Pete griff and i have been talking he has some opinions, views that he might share with you on the channel today. Rachel im looking forward to it, too. Pete President Trump as you know in the news now ordering a supplemental fbi investigation into Sexual Assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Griff the move pushing the senate vote to late next week. Rachel lee land vittert is live in our Nations Capital with more. Welcome. Nice to see you. Some of kavanaughs supporters are spinning this as a good thing saying the mere fact of an fbi report will take away key democratic talking point making the week delay well worth it. This is the president s tweet, just started tonight our seventh fbi investigation of judge Brett Kavanaugh. He will some day be recognized as a truly great justice of the United States Supreme Court. From dr. Christine blasey fords attorney a thorough fbi investigation is critical developing all the relevant facts. Dr. Christine blasey ford welcomes this step. No artificial limits as to time or scope should be imposed on this investigation. For Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell another week to a vote but another week of oven relenting democratic pressure on key swing votes like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. The committee has also thoroughly investigated the lastminute allegations that have been brought forward. The evidence that has been produced either fails, fails to crorkts these accusations or, in fact, supports judge kavanaughs unequivocal denial. This is a nomination that deserves to move forward and that is precisely, mr. President , what is happening. Kavanaugh says he will continue to cooperate with any and all probes into his background, guys, and obviously we wait for the president s rally this evening to see if he has any additional thoughts on the weeks events. Rachel thank you, lee land. Pete lee land, thanks. Rachel we thought we were moving forward, right . We thought we were moving forward except jeff flake did something that a lot of people arent too surprised about because they think is he flakey. Pete living up to his name. He told everyone he was going to vote for the nomination. Then he got in an elevator and cloak room and apparently everything changed. An activist, her name is anna marie arcella double l like a y. Its one l. All right. Pete she confronted him in an elevator as you pointed out she wasnt supposed to be in. Griff you are not allowed to go on to that elevator whether you are a reporter or protester and because of the freedoms of this great nation there is not just her there is hundreds. I was there all week long. It is surreal that hundreds of protesters can just freely hang out in the hallways. And wa weigh in with their opinions that happened. Pete watch this. You are allowing someone who is unwilling to take responsibility for his own action. Do you want to respond . Senator. The higher court of the country and to have the role of repairing the harm that has been done in this country to many people. No, no, thank you. What do you think . You have power. Maam, do you want to talk. No i want to talk to him. Dont talk to me. Griff excuse me, maam, what is happening there someone said the security saying you cant be there, you cant go. Rachel what kind of security is that . This is Capital Police. Pete husband takes tough votes. Are you swayed by someone yelling at you in the elevator . Is that a real thing . I actually think for a member like my husbands it would probably actually tick him off even more but apparently it worked. First of all, i want to make two points. One, members only elevator, where was Capital Police . When there is this many protesters and this level of anger, i dont think this is safe for members of congress. And this isnt an exaggeration, there have been bad things that have happened to members of congress in very recent history. This makes me mad at Capital Police, first of all. Pete sure. Rachel listen, this is what passes for civil discourse on college campuses. It has come to coming. And thanks to what jeff flake did and, again, we will talk a little later it might end up being better to republicans, caving this will only encourage. This expect more. Expect more. Griff i was covering it this week, Elizabeth Warren and we played a little bit of the sound earlier in the week, Elizabeth Warren was out in the Hart Senate Office building atrium went and rallied these very protesters to keep doing what they are doing. You know, that part of our process, i mean, we are talking about the due process of a man accused of a very serious allegation and, yet, the protesters pete also six fbi investigations for this guy. He has been through public opinions. He has had his character sensentassassinated. I love the use of her truth. What about his truth . Her truth is her truth, fine. She can say what she wants. He has the opportunity to rebut that. He has done that at the last second a weakminded republican in jeff flake, who is not running for reelection, because he could never get reelected. People are sick of guys like him gets confronted in elevator and some democrats in a cloak room and he caves . Its pathetic. Its also a demonstration of our modern politics where its a protest session all the time and a lot of people give in, some people give in at those moments. You have to realize the items dondemsdont want a fair. God bless lindsey gramg what hgrahamits true. He spoke for a lot of americans when he said you played politics not the truth on this. Rachel it will be delayed for weeks. This is what Jason Chaffetz a former member of congress had to say about what the real reason is behind this delay. Very good friends with jeff flake and on a personal level, i really like the guy. But, how can you. Sean senator snowflake is what i call him. How can you look at this person and say we need more time to investigate at the same time he has zero questions of ford around zero questions of kavanaugh. Thats your opportunity. Thats the job of the senators, not some job of the fbi agent doing seventh background check. Its the politics of personal destruction. Its a playbook that the democrats continue to use. Scorched earth. Its the resistance movement. They wants to destroy kavanaugh. They want to delay this as long as possible, defeat him and drag this country into the dull drums. It is absolutely fundamentally wrong and republicans have got to step up like Lindsey Graham and call it out for what it. Here here. And make sure this person is now sitting on the Supreme Court. Pete im fired up and frustrated like a lot of people help me with the math here. How does this go forward . Griff where we were before the flake incident happened, we were at 48 yeses in the republicans, right . You can only lose one republican or you are in trouble, two, kavanaugh goes down. Thats the reality of this. Murkowski, collins, and flake were the fence sitters in the republican party. Now you have got this investigation. But, if you look back and remember this emotional week of all the democrats saying that it would be wrong to confirm him without an fbi investigation, now the fbi is going to do it. So there is one side of the story that suggests that not only could you get the fence sitting republicans, collins, murkowski and flake, but you might pick up pete the failing New York Times says a week not enough time. Maybe we need more. Is anything honest about this . Do they really want a week or as much time as they want . They want to derail it as long as they want. Griff at some point you are undermining the professionalism of the fbi. The fbi, the president has ordered this limited scope investigation and i dont know why the New York Times doesnt have confidence in the foib do their job. Rachel chris thinks this could be good for republicans. Here is what he said last night. This is a high wire act, the longer kavanaugh hangs out there that there will be other claims that it will become more complicated. Lets also understanding they were faced with a very unhappy thing. They were going to have to jam this through quite potential whether i mike pension having tpence having tot deciding vote. They were hoping they would get democratic votes and that it would be bipartisan and go through in a way that was more pleasing to everybody involved. Pete yeah, i guess, right . I just feel like republicans have blinked and they have had to because its such a razor thin margin. If you werent thinking about voting in the mid terms, this is evidence as to why you should. Razor thin majorities means one guy who is not up for reelection determines the fate. A week is a lifetime. The left is going to throw everything they can at this guy for another week. Rachel you are right. The delay of the 10 days before was devastating to kavanaughs reputation. That said, republicans are fired up like i have never seen. My phone from women i know that are independents said are kind of apolitical, you know, maybe lean conservative, oh my goodness. Everybody was watching this. Everybody is engaged and everyone has an opinion. Heres the deal. Democrats were already fired up. Their base was already energized. It was the republican side and i can tell you as a political spouse we were concerned about complacency on our part because a lot of republicans are kind of happy with the economy. They are kind of complacent politically. This has charged people up. People are on fire mad. Pete everyone has a son or a father who could be accused like this. This is the thing, if they can get Brett Kavanaugh, we are all done. The reality this guy is a great man who went through High School Like the west of us and now he is brought through the ringer. Griff may be called into service and think twice because of watching what happened to kavanaugh. Rachel take the corporate job. Great legal minds. Pete so, what can the fbi actually find in a week . Were going to ask former fbi agent who led the agencys hunt for the unabomber coming up next. Griff plus, grab your cowboy hat and boots the state fair of texas is here. Gillian and carley are live at the fairgrounds. Giddy up from the Promised Land gave them a place where they could dance if you want to see heaven rachel President Trump now ordering the fbi to investigate allegations against judge kavanaugh saying it should be limited in scope and shouldnt last more than one week. Pete what will yet another background check show . Former Deputy Assistant director for the fbis Counterterrorism Division who caught the unabomber, Terry Turchie joins us now. We have one more week, there have been six previous background checks, what more will we or could we learn here . Well, what we have right now, pete, is we have allegations without any substantiation and without any corroboration. And it really goes to the fbis power house. They can put a lot of people together. They can sit down and interview the complainant. Do this devoid of any enotion in a room just the interviewers and dr. Ford. They start there. And they try to find out if there is anything else that she might have missed saying, missed remembering. Try to jog her memory. Get more details and take all the details we all know from these hearings and all of the things and examples they might be able to get to maybe add more to this. And then they will go out and run all of this down. And they have plenty of time. I have heard a lot of the people talk about you cant do this in a week. I think we have to keep something in perspective. The fbi can get 2,000 agents just about everywhere in the world in a matter of a few hours. And they can do major things logistically. This is not that big of a deal. Keep in mind that they are already very familiar with judge kavanaugh. Is he, as you said, gone through six Background Investigations there are people who did those. Probably some of them still in the bureau. They will be reviewing all of that they will be looking at anything now, in the light of what has come out. That possibly they may think they missed then. So all of those kind of things are going to go on. And at the end of the day, they are going to have a really good picture of whether there is anything here. And, again, i have to stress something and then i will stop for a second. It was really a stark contrast to me the other day that we have, in america, in our republic. We have judge kavanaugh sitting there essentially facing inquisition. You did not see any attorney sitting at the table on the right or the left. It was just him. And it was rather uncomfortable to me after being in the fbi for 32 years and after interviewing people who would bring complaints in and our subjects who have committed crimes. We always try to be respectful and decent to everybody because you have got to do that if you are going to have your integrity Going Forward. Its just bizarre to see how this has carried out. I hope the fbi can kind of take the emotion out of this and thats really what they will try to do and try to find more facts to pursue. Rachel it was very interesting i had no idea they could do this as quickly and when i heard the attorney say they want more time. It was clear what from what you are saying they dont need more time and they can do this maybe before a week is over. Whats fascinating, rachel, michael knows they can do this in a matter of hours. They can do anything they are asked to do as long as they have a lot of cooperation. Now, if they call to kind of all this kind of begins, keep in mind, with sitting down with the complainant. They call and the lawyers say oh, we are both on vacation, we cant see you for two weeks, thats going to slow things down a bit. Pete of course, and physical evidence at this point does not exist. Terry turchie thank you for your time. Appreciate it good stuff. You are very welcome. Pete californias liberal governor his name is jerry brown, taking a shot at the second amendment. Restrict gun rights even more. The new law he just signed coming up next. Rachel democrats got what they wanted but will they really accept the results of the fbi or just playing politics . We will debate that next. The fbi investigation must be impartial and objective. It must be given enough time to do that work. Pete we are back with a fox news alert. At least 384 people are dead and hundreds injured. Anna earthquake and tsunami strike inc. Doneisha. The 7. 5 magnitude earthquake leaving a path of destruction. Rescue efforts, as you can imagine are still underway. The military wants to know why a cutting edge f35 we spent billions on them a marine pilot forced to eject to the air investigation. And a suspected terrorist accused deadly new york city bike path death penalty. Lack of reforce and continued support of isis. Yeah. That counts. He pled not guilty to mowing down a crowd after mowing down a crowd, killing at least 8 people last year. Griff, over to you. Griff thanks, pete. Staging a walk out as the Judiciary Committee scheduled a vote on judge kavanaugh. This has got to stop. So i walked out. Im not going to participate in this charade anymore. Democrats are not being heard. They are pushing through this process. And from top to bottom, this has been about bullies. There has been no adequate fbi investigation. There has been no sufficient factfinding. Griff now democrats got exactly what thepghted fbi investigation of judge kavanaugh. Will they finally allow the process to play out or will they continue to play politics with his nomination. Here to debate it former apprentice c ngt and trump supporter aaron elmore and max burns. Good morning to you. Happy saturday. So, let me start with you, erin. What do you make about the democrats now have what they wanted, this investigation. They grand standed all week long about it. Will this finally set the record straight . There is less than a zero percent chance that the democrats are going to act with any sort of propriety or decorum here. We havent seen that throughout the process. We know this is nothing more than political theater. At best, it is that at worse, this is a total political coup. They are destroying Brett Kavanaughs life for nothing. There is no evidence. There are no facts. And im sure this is seventh fbi investigation will be the one that is the red hers as they say in scoobydoo. There is no way that is going to happen. Griff max, independents to bring you in, real quick, you mention the process here. Let me just put up this. This is the nominees statement Brett Kavanaugh saying yesterday throughout this process i have been interviewed by the fbi. I have done a number of background calls directly with the senate and yesterday i answered questions under oath about every topic the senators and their counsel asked me. I have done everything they have requested and will continue to cooperate. Max, i want you to respond to what this now means for the democrats on the committee. Well, the first thing i
