GET READY FOR MILD FIREWORKS,
CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR KETANJI
BROWN JACKSON KICKING OFF ON
CAPITOL HILL IN HER OPENING
STATEMENT, PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
NOMINEE THAT THE NOMINATION HAS
BEEN HUMBLING.
>> EXTREMELY HUMBLY TO BE
CONSIDERED FOR JUSTICE BUYERS
AND I KNOW I COULD NEVER FAIL
BUT IF CONFIRMED, I WOULD HOPE
TO CARRY ON SPIRIT.
I HOPE HOW MUCH I LOVE OUR
COUNTRY AND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE RIGHTS THAT MAKE US FREE.
THE RIGHTS THAT MAKE US FREE.
KENNEDY: REPUBLICAN SENATOR
STAYING THERE AND PULLING NO
PUNCHES BUT THEY ALSO SAY THEY
ARE NOT LETTING IT TURN INTO A
CAPITOL STYLE SMEAR JOB.
WATCH THIS THIS WILL NOT BE A
POLITICAL CIRCUS.
THIS WILL NOT BE THE KIND OF
CHARACTER SMEAR HAS HOW THEY ARE
DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES HAVE
GOTTEN GOOD AT THE MOST RECENT
SUPPORT REPORT NOMINEE SUBJECTED
TO REPEATING ACCUSATIONS NOTHING
MORE THAN UNFILTERED RELIGIOUS
BIGOTRY AGAINST HER THE NOMINEE
BEFORE HER WAS ACCUSED OF SERIAL
RAPE.
>> NO REPUBLICAN SENATOR IS
GOING TO UNLEASH ON YOU AND
ATTACK YOUR CHARACTER WHEN
HEARING IS VIRTUALLY OVER.
NOT SITTING ON THE INFORMATION
ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON’S OR
MONTHS.
KENNEDY: DIANNE FEINSTEIN IS
LIKE DON’T LOOK AT ME.
IS IT GOING TO GET UGLY?
HERE TO DISCUSS EDITOR AND CHIEF
FOX NEWS INTERPRETER, MOLLIE
HEMINGWAY, WELCOME BACK TO THE
SHOW.
>> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
KENNEDY: HOW IS THIS GOING TO
GO?
OBVIOUSLY SHE’S GOING TO DO WHAT
THEY ALL DO, SHE’S GOING TO
DEFER, SHE’S GOING TO REFRAME
QUESTIONS FROM A SHE’S NOT GOING
TO ANSWER ANYTHING OVERTLY,
SHE’S NOT GOING TO ANSWER ANY
HYPOTHETICALS SO IF THERE ARE
PEOPLE OPPOSED TO HER JUDICIAL
PHILOSOPHY, HOW DO THEY GET TO
THE TRUTH HER BELIEF?
>> I WANT TO SAY DURING THE
KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION HEARINGS,
IT WASN’T JUST AFTER THE
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS THAT ENDED
THE WASHINGTON POST AND OTHER
ACTIVISTS ROBOT DIVORCE FOURTH
AND REOPEN THE HEARINGS.
ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE
KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION HEARINGS,
REPUGNANCE EDITOR WHO LIKELY
HEARINGS WAS INTERRUPTED
REPEATEDLY, COULDN’T EVEN MAKE
HIS OPENING STATEMENT OVER AN
HOUR BECAUSE OF HOW MANY TIMES
HE WAS REPEATED.
PEOPLE GETTING ARRESTED ONE
BEFORE ANY ACCUSATIONS OF GANG
RAPE.
THE WHOLE HEARINGS WERE A MESS
AND A CIRCUS FROM THE GET-GO,
VERY MUCH IN CONTRAST OF WHAT WE
ARE SAYING THAT I, DURBIN TO
GIVE HIS TEN MINUTE OPENING
STATEMENTS, THEY DID NOT
INTERJECT OR INTERRUPT OR CREATE
A CIRCUIT SCENE GET PEOPLE
ARRESTED, THEY JUST POLITELY
LISTENED BUT DEMOCRATS WANTED TO
BE WHERE THEY ALLOW THIS
NOMINATION TO GO THROUGH WITHOUT
ANY CRITICAL THINKING OR ANY
REVIEW OF WHAT JUDGE BROWN
JACKSON JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY IS
AN IS THAT THEY SHOULD DIG INTO
THAT BECAUSE SHE IS INCREDIBLY
RADICAL JUDGE, SHE’S SHOWN THAT
TO BE THE CASE SO IT’S VERY
IMPORTANT FOR A SEAT ON THE HIGH
COURT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HER
JUDICIAL BOSS IF HE IS.
KENNEDY: SHE’S BEEN CONFIRMED BY
THE SENATE, THEY ARE MILIEU WITH
HER, ARE THERE REPUBLICANS ON
BOARD WITH HER NOMINATION ON
BACK THOUGH, WHEN YOU’RE
CONFIRMING FOR A LOW POSITION,
IT’S NOT IMPORTANT TO DIG INTO
WHAT JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY IS,
WHEN YOU ARE ONE OF THE NINE ON
THE SUPREME COURT, YOU AREN’T
JUST GOING WITH PRESIDENTS, YOU
HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOUR VIEW OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
THIS JUDGE IS BACKED BY SOME OF
THE MOST LEFT-WING GROUPS,
INTERESTING SHE SAID SHE LEFT
THE CONSTITUTION SOME OF THE
GROUPS THAT SPENT LITERALLY
ALTOGETHER A BILLION DOLLARS TO
ELECT JOE BIDEN AND MAKE SURE
SHE WAS THE NOMINEE HAVE SAID
HORRIBLE THINGS ABOUT THE
CONSTITUTION BELIEVING IT SHOULD
BE DESTROYED IF THE DOCUMENT
THAT’S NOT GOOD.
SHE HERSELF SEEMS TO SUPPORT THE
ADMINISTERED STATE AGAINST THE
CONSTITUTION.
SHE VERY MUCH FIGHTS THE
REGULATORY EFFORTS IN PLACE TO
RESTORE TO THE ORIGINAL
CONSTITUTION.
SHE HAS LEFT WING POLITICAL
ABUSE, THESE ARE THINGS WORTHY
OF BEING EXPLORED PUTTING
SOMEBODY ON THE HIGHEST COURT.
KENNEDY: ABSOLUTELY AND THAT’S
THE JOB OF THE SENATOR’S.
HAVING SAID THAT, ARE THERE
REPUBLICANS SO FAR WHO HAVE SET
THEY ARE WARMING TO THE IDEA OF
JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON?
>> I DON’T KNOW, I THINK THE
SENATOR’S ON THE COMMITTEE WILL
TAKE THEIR ROLE SERIOUSLY, IT’S
IMPORTANT ALL REPUBLIK AND
SENATORS DO THAT AS WELL AND --
WITH AN OPEN MIND.
I THINK THEY ARE PROBABLY GOING
TO MARK MARCH IN LOCKSTEP BUT
NOT JUST YOU AS SOMETHING I
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN WE
COULD HAVE HORRIBLE EFFECTS ON
THE COUNTRY TO HAVE SOMEBODY WHO
DOESN’T HAVE HIGHER REGARD FOR T
CONSTITUTION AND BALANCE OF
POWERS GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE
PEOPLE.
KENNEDY: IF SHE’S AS RADICAL AS
PEOPLE, AS YOU HAVE PLAYED OUT,
THEY WON’T BE PART OF THAT SO
WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
>> THAT INTERESTING ABOUT GOING
IN TO THIS, THERE ARE A BUNCH OF
PEOPLE UP FOR REELECTION WHO
HAVE MADE VOTES THAT ARE
DIFFICULT IN ARIZONA, MONTANA,
WEST VIRGINIA THAT ARE GOING TO
FACE TOUGH ELECTIONS NOVEMBER
AND THAT’S WHY THE DEMOCRATS
DON’T WANT TO GET INTO WHAT HER
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY IS OR HER
EXTREME VIEWS ARE BECAUSE I
COULD GO POORLY FOR THEIR
REELECTION I CAN’T WAIT, PEOPLE
FACING A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT, I
DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE REPUBLICAN
OR DEMOCRAT OR THINK YOU SHARE
SOMEONE’S JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY,
YOU HAVE TO PRESS THEM AND ASKED
THE RIGHT QUESTIONS THESE
NOMINEES ARE FORCED TO ANSWER.
A LOT OF TIMES THE SENATORS DO A
BAD JOB REPEATING OTHER PEOPLE’S
QUESTIONS, THEY DON’T COORDINATE
WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THEY ASK
YES OR NO QUESTIONS ARE ONES
THAT CAN BE REVOKED OUT OF AND I
HOPE THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN, I
HOPE THEY LEARN AT LEAST SOME
QUESTIONS AND I HEARD SHE HAD A
