The president was on the ground today in north and South Carolina praising First Responders and encouraging those who suffered losses from a storm now being called epic this is the part when break free this is the part where. Brian fresh off thursday night at the clubs. This is the last song steve and i heard when we left the dance floor to come to work. Steve we werent actually dancing, we were just on the dance floor. When i think of september 20th. Brian what do you think of . Steve come on september 20th . Brian tip of my tongue. Steve national peperoni pizza day. Peperoni pizza in half an hour. Brian take the skin off. Steve look at ainsley earhart. Ainsley its weird when you see your birthday on the screen. When you get older you dont see the number. Steve and see the year you are born. Ainsley you know when you fill out forms online and scroll down to the year, its getting longer and longer and longer. It used to be closer to the top. Brian was a point you have to write your year and now you have to write 19. Thats whats bad about changing centuries. Steve why do we do that . Ainsley thats sweet. Yall made that for me. Thats sweet. Thank you. Steve its throw back thursday. Happy birthday, ainsley. We are glad you were born. Ainsley thanks so much. Brian first off noticing a lot more talk of ainsleys birthday than ours. Ainsley not true. Steve obviously important day for you got a hair cut. Brian no. I got a hair cut three weeks ago. Ainsley he brushed it. Brian im washing it about evidence single day. Ainsley it k. We gte to the news. Chuck grassley sent this letter is he criticizing Dianne Feinstein for how she handled all of this slapping back at the democrats. Steve essentially what they are doing right now that hearing that will be chaired by that man, the senior senator from iowa is still on for 10 00 on monday morning. And they would like to hear from Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Ford. Heres the problem. Christine fords side were not going to show up unless there is another fbi investigation. There she is right there. And we wants more witnesses called. The Senate Judiciary said on the republican side though thats not going to happen, burr we need to hear from you by 10 00 friday morning, thats going to be the deadline, thats when we have to have your resume your biography, essentially, and also we have to have your prepared remarks so we can prepare for the hearing on monday. The republicans are saying its still on. Ainsley those are the committee rules. They have to follow those rules. They have to send in that information tomorrow, 10 00 a. M. In order for her to be geraldo on monday. Brian big question is what happened 36 years ago. Chuck grassley weighed in and said listen, i have given a bunch of different options. Here is what he is hoping to have an answer to this morning. Well, where im focused right now is doing everything that we can to make dr. Ford comfortable with coming before a committee, either in an open session or a closed session, or a public or a private interviews. Thats four different ways she can choose to come. And so im not worried about anything other than just focusing for the next few days on encouraging her to come. Steve right. The republicans feel like they are bending over backwards. Remember, it was she who came out in pages of the Washington Post and accused him, Brett Kavanaugh, of this misconduct years ago and said we just heard the story. Lets bring her in so she can tell it. If she is going to level shes accusations. Dr. Fords attorney said the committees stated plan to move forward with a hearing that only has two witnesses, he or her is not a good faith investigation. There are multiple witnesses whose names have appeared publicly and should be included in any proceeding. The rush to a hearing is unnecessary and contrary to the committee discovering the truth. There was only one name mark judge. She said he was there and bounced on the bed and knocked them apart there was another name as well. A fellow by the name of Patrick Smith who came out yesterday with a statement and said i have no memory of anything even close to what she is describing. Brian her friend, catherine poraski was evidently a College Roommate of Christine Ford and she, a couple of months ago called her up, onetime roommate and said did i ever talk about being sexually assaulted in high school . She said she had no memory of that i thought that was odd. Calling up an old roommate in college and say did i ever bring this up. Steve dr. Ford did. Brian dr. Ford did to catherine pieroski im sorry if that name isnt pronounced correctly. Another friend from high School Posted did happen and believed her and then she deleted it. Ainsley loot of republicans are upset with democrats why arent they calling out. Why arent they outraged with the Keith Ellison stuff . They say its hypocrisy and double standard. You which Chuck Grassley who wrote in his letter that she, talking about Dianne Feinstein she chose to sit on this until politically opportune moment. He wanttammy bruce said this. This argument she something bullied and into this rush of a hearing is absurd. I would posit that, in fact, she has been mislead. That dr. Ford, in fact, perhaps not in charge of any of this at all. I think she was likely promised something that she wouldnt have to testify. I think Dianne Feinstein thought the accusation alone would knock this nomination off its seat. Do you know what theyre doing, they are infactsizing her and revictimizing her saying she is emotionally not prepared. She being bull idea. Strong woman, now being revictimized by this entire framework of rhetoric and we should allable upset by that and certainly offended at the least. Brian brian the question is, if it does come to a vote, we, in fact, pass . A lot of people say listen i dont need a democratic vote. The republicans have the majority. Would you get four main republicans who have shown some doubts since this story emerged and that is jeff flake, bob corker, as well as Susan Collins and senator murkowski all are saying essentially, i think the allegation has been made by ford i think her story deserves to be heard and committees process been made available tore h senator collins, too. I think its not fair judge kavanaugh for her not come forward and testify. Both of them need to testify under oath. All four seem to be looking, including jeff flake, to say if she doesnt show up on monday, lets have a vote. Bob corker. I have think he will vote for her. For him. Steve something h a moment ago puzzling. Christine sat down july 20th with local story and congresswoman said in california i believe her story and suggested that she write a letter to Dianne Feinstein. And then the congresswomans staff hand delivered it to Dianne Feinstein. And she sat on it for the longest time. Chuck grassley is simply asking for unredacted copy of that particular letter. He has got one that was redacted when they gave it to the fbi. The democrats will not allow the republicans at this point to see the unredacted copy. Ainsley its not fair to the both sides. Not fair to the two people involved. Not fair to the democrats or republican stos sit on that and wait just a few days before the confirmation vote. Brian here is joy behar, she is on the view. She has interesting take on this. I always find them fascinating. Lets watch together. This is what i grew up with. That men are supposed to protect you. Did i, too. From these predatory males. And and they are not doing that on the contrary. These people in congress right now, on that Senate Judiciary committee, these white men, old by the way, are not protecting women. They are protecting a man who is probably guilty. If you are not, judge kavanaugh, take the lie detector test. Prove it the way she did and the way anita hill did that they were not lying. Lets see that from you. Or are you a coward . Steve one other thing regarding dr. Christine ford, that is because she is no longer at her house because according to her attorney she has received Death Threats and had to relocate apparently and hire security for her family, go fund me page has been set up and i think so far it has raised north of 130,000. Brian i geraldo 200,000. Steve wouldnt be surprising. Ainsley lie detector tests dont hold um in court because they might prove false eye that she is saying one thing. Whatever. Doesnt hold up in court. Thats not even an issue. But, as far as these white older men, what more can they do . They are asking her to sit down with them and asking her to sit down with them in private. Asking her to choose the time u. Steve send somebody to california. Ainsley we want to hear from her. We want to hear what she has to say. You cant just say is he guilty. There has to be a trial. They have to go through the process. Brian here is something odd. Why doesnt it matter if they are older and white . Is that a factor . Is that in her teleprompter or something . Why is that a factor . Steve another thing to consider if dr. Ford doesnt show up on monday if they dont hear by her by 10 00 in the morning . Will Brett Kavanaugh even sit in the chair . What would the point be . Im sure they are trying to do the calculus on that politically, because its all through the prism of politics. Keep in mind, you look at what is happening. And there are a number of republicans who feel that the democrats are just trying to suggest lets have an fbi investigation to run up the clock past the midterm election. Brian counter intuitive for an accuser to say come out and be investigated heres my story call the fbi. Why dont you believe mee why are you calling the fbi . Instead saying call the fbi. I dont understand that logic. 11 minutes after the hour the loveridge call thing for me to do if you guys agree is toss to jillian. Jillian thank you. Fox news alert.

Ainsley judge kavanaughs accuser, Christine Ford facing a friday deadline whether or not she is going to testify about her accusations. Possible show down being compared to lawyer anita hills accusations in 1991 against then nominee clarence thomas. Here with more is jennifer mascot. She clerked for both judge kavanaugh and Justice Clarence thomas. Thank you so much for being with us. Good morning. Thank you for having mere. Ainsley good morning. Tell us about both of these individuals and their character. So i clerked for judge kavanaugh and Justice Thomas and have respect for both jury lists they have both been leaders on their respective courts. Justice thomas a leader on the Supreme Court and originalist approach to ininterpretting the constitution. Judge kavanaugh i have known him for 12 years and he has been a leader on the d. C. Circuit. Authorizing more than 300 opinions many of them in the area of separation of powers. Looking at the constitution. And so, you know, have tremendous respect for both individuals. Both of whom have been great mentors. Ainsley should judge kavanaugh be confirmed . Yes. I do think judge kavanaugh should be confirmed u of course, whats happened this week, there have been serious allegations and Everybody Needs to have a chance to be heard. Judge kavanaughs categorically denied the allegations. They are flatly inconsistent of what i know of him. My understanding he has sat for transcribed interview under penalty of perjury and clearly shared his side of the story. You know, from what i know of him over the past 1 years, his character and integrity, his qualifications, he would be an excellent Supreme Court justice. Ainsley Justice Thomas was confirmed 5248. For the democrats or for those who say that dr. Ford is right, that judge kavanaugh is guilty, is this guilt by accusation . Well, look, its very important, obviously, for both sides to be heard. And my understanding is the senate is trying to give an opportunity to dr. Ford to be heard. Offered several different settings to make sure its comfortable for her to share her side of the story. So judge kavanaugh is willing to come and share his side of the story. And hopefully both people will be heard and judge kavanaugh will be given the chance to clear his name and directly head on fronts allegations. Ainsley jennifer, whats your prediction . How will this end . My prediction is i think judge kavanaughs transparent. He has credibility. And, you know, when he is sharing his side of the story, the senators will hear that. And that i do think that he will be confirmed and be an exlengths justice. Its up to the senate. But i think he will get a fair hearing, and if the senators are going to do best to listen to both sides and treat everybody with respect and dignity. Ainsley jennifer mascot, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. Ainsley giving free pass on passports. Democrats are promise appearing new wave in november.
