hatfie and mccoys for 32 straig years. the american people are going to win when we have a shared sense of wha the judiciary is for. i voted to confirm brett kavana i ended up being on the side of believ he should be confir to the court. becaus the entire process, look, happy to come back to that, but the entire process for that month was a circus. it didn t serve anybody well. it did the ford family well. it didn t serve the kavanaugh family well. it doesn t serve our kids well unders how we should be delibe100%. the process is never about gettin to the bottom of the allegations which would have helped them. but if you are ever in a situat that and you knew you didn t do it, you don t know what happened to the woman making the allegation, but you know it wasn t you, you didn t do it, you would invite all kind of scrutiny. let s get in here. i want my name back. the process didn t allow for. that the judge didn t push for that. but the president s language, i made this speech, you know
lo look, we ll have to figure out what you want to do. i know the media is pushing the presid and pushing you guys, what are you going do? that s not my question. my question is when will you do? becaus as you learn things, then you act. and my question about that proces is how measured the presid is here. how willing he was to accept this king s denial. when it came to birtherism, he knew that was bs. we gre up in the same place. i know him for many years. i know when his nose is tweaked fwhing that s make sense and when it doesn t. he forwarded it because it was good for him. but when it s puti he didmeddle. he really believed. he really believed it. what is it? about the president.
will be held responsible. let s discuss this with nebraska republ senator ben sass. good to have you here. author of a new book them: why we hate each other and how to heal. this is something that has to be discus not just tonight. my pledge, there is a lot in this book. can t get to it all. matter in a continuatio conver come back senator. it s going to play in the things you ha to deal with. in fact, it does tonight. good to have you. we ll talk about the book specif but let s talk about connecting the in terms of how we get along and why we don t. the saudis have given us no proof to believe the theory that the president seems to be promot i want to put the words in your mouth. after spoke to the king, he starte making public statements about what might have happened and this was the theory he was forwar the king firmly denied knowle of it. he didn t really know. i don t want to get into his
foreig relations committee. he joins us now. democr from delaware. senato pleasure. great to be with you again, chris. what a striking day it s been in terms of so many different develo from jamal khasho disappearance and likely murder at the hands of the saudis and the dna test you refere i think it s strik got hi start in politics by challe president obama s citize his birtherism, where once it was proven, of course that president obama was in fact born in hawaii in the unitedstates, trump really did not ever concede that he d been wrong all along. i frankly think this is just anothe episode where although the president very publicly said he wou pay a million dollars to his first charity if she took a dna test. she s it. she put to rest his i think juveni offensive and inappr suggestions using his nickname for her that
what do we agree on. what do we believe about the long term of human rights and what do you believe about human dignit right saudis are not articu he gives 120 days. at this point, if they say, yeah, we were right. that s what it was. some guys went too far, we ll deal w it. do you think the senate will make this the moment that they say, no, something s going to happen if the white house doesn t trigge it, we will. i think in general the legisl supposed to be the place where all long term thinki happens for the u.s. govern and the administration is suppos to be executing polici that are set by the congress because t most accountable to the people. the one carveout from that is on short term national security issues you ne president and admini to lead. a number of us want to he ambass bolton and hear a long term view about the saudi relati i thin lots of stuff has to be on the table. he had would let you act unilat now let s get closer to the book. that was like on the outer limi
