COMMITTEE INVOLVING
COMMITTEE INVOLVING MR. KAVANAUGH WHEN THEY WERE
TEENAGERS.
TEENAGERS. IT'S BEEN WELL REPORTED.
KAVANAUGH DENIES IT HAPPENS.
THERES A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE IN
KAVANAUGH'S CAREER WHO VOUCH FOR
HIS CAREER AND INTEGRITY.
A SECOND WOMAN IS ACCUSING
KAVANAUGH OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
IT'S UNCORROBORATED BY
WITNESSES.
WITNESSES. JOHN KAVANAUGH SPOKESPERSON
DENIES THAT HE WAS AT THIS PARTY
AND SAYS THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN.
SO HERE WE ARE.
WOULD YOU SUPPORT AN IMMEDIATE
POSTPONEMENT OF THE PROCEEDINGS
SO THAT THE FBI CAN GIVE HIM THE
CHANCE TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATION
INTO WITNESSES OF BOTH OF THESE
ALLEGATIONS?
ALLEGATIONS? >> WELL, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING
REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE ACCUSER DR. FORD, HER VOICE
IS HEARD AND THAT THE PROCESS IS
ALSO FAIR.
ALSO FAIR. SO THIS HEARING ON THURSDAY IS A
RESULT OF THAT.
I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT
STEP THAT THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE HAS GONE THROUGH.
THESE OTHER ALLEGATIONS JUST
CAME OUT.
CAME OUT.
CAME OUT. SO I THINK WE NEED TO GET A LOT
MORE INFORMATION ON A PATH
FORWARD.
FORWARD.

SHOULD HAVE A TONE OF RESPECT
AND FAIRNESS FOR ALL PARTIES
INVOLVED.

INVOLVED. >> YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A UNIQUE
PERSPECTIVE ON THIS BECAUSE YOU
CAME OUT AND TALKED TO THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL ABOUT ABUSE THAT
YOU ENDURED IN HIGH SCHOOL FROM,
WAS IT A TRACK COACH?
>> YEAH, A TRACK COACH.
>> AND, SO WHEN YOU HEAR STORIES
LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY THE
PRESIDENT THAT TWEETED OUT SHE
SHOULD'VE COME OUT THE SECOND
THAT THIS HAPPENED.
I READ AN ARTICLE THAT SAID THAT
IT TOOK TOOK YOU A DECADE.
>> I DID TELL TWO PEOPLE AT THE
TIME, ONE OF WHICH WENT TO THE
SCHOOL AND GOT HIM IMMEDIATELY
FIRED.
FIRED.
FIRED. AND, SO THAT WAS ALSO IN THE
ARTICLE.
ARTICLE.
ARTICLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT
BEEN THROUGH THIS, THANK GOD
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THROUGH THIS,
DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF
US DON'T IMMEDIATELY GO TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
ENFORCEMENT. AND MANY WOMEN AND SOME MEN HAVE
BEEN THROUGH EXPERIENCES LIKE
THIS.

BUT LET'S ALSO HAVE DUE PROCESS
AND FAIRNESS.

WEEKEND KYRSTEN SINEMA

ARE ON DIFFERENT PAGES HERE.
SHE ISSUED THIS STATEMENT.
I WANT YOU TO RESPOND.
SHE SAID IF CONGRESSWOMAN
McSALLY WERE SERIOUS ABOUT
DEBATING, SHE WOULD SHOW UP ON
OCTOBER 15TH.
OCTOBER 15TH. SHE APPEARS INTENT TO AVOID SO
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO.
>> GIVE ME A BREAK.
YOU JUST SPENT A BUNCH OF TIME
WITH A TAX, RIDICULOUS TAX BY
HER.
HER.
HER. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE
CAMPAIGNS.
CAMPAIGNS. WE'D ASK THAT SHE WOULD
SERIOUSLY START NEGOTIATING WITH
US ABOUT THESE DEBATES.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR
ARIZONA VOTERS TO HEAR FROM BOTH
OF US, OUR FULL BACKGROUNDS OF
OUR RECORDS AND WHAT WE'VE DONE
WITH OUR LIVES.
ME WEARING THE UNIFORM FOR
YEARS, SERVING OUR COUNTRY 6
DEPLOYMENTS TO THE MIDDLE EAST
AND AFGHANISTAN.
AND AFGHANISTAN. WHILE SHE WAS PROTESTING US IN A
PINK TUTU.
PINK TUTU. SHE'S GOT A REALLY DIFFICULT
RECORD.
RECORD.
RECORD. SHE'S PLAYING GAMES WITH THIS.
WE ARE GOING TO DEBATE.
AND THE VOTERS DESERVE TO HEAR
FROM BOTH OF US AND ASK
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS BASED ON HER
REINVENT FAST.
REINVENT FAST. I'VE GOTTEN 20 BILLS PASSED
THROUGH THE HOUSE.
I'VE GOTTEN FOUR LINED INTO LAW.
FASTTRACKING OUR VETERANS.
SAVING THE A-10 WARTHOG, REALLY
IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
PROJECTS.
PROJECTS. WE BOTH HAVE RECORDS IN OUR PAST
WHAT WE'VE BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT
AND FOUGHT FOR, AND WE NEED THE
VOTERS TO REALLY SEE THAT FULL
RECORD BECAUSE THIS IS A 12th
SENATOR IN OUR HISTORY THAT
ARIZONA WILL BE PICKING.
IT'S CONSEQUENTIAL AND I REALLY
LOOK FORWARD TO DEBATING.
>> AND WHEN THIS DEBATE HAPPENS
IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO FOCUS ON BECAUSE YOU
GUYS ARE SO DIFFERENT ON SO MANY
ISSUES.
ISSUES.
ISSUES. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO
HEAR?
HEAR?
HEAR? >>
HEAR? >> I THINK PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW
WHY, WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH YOUR
LIFE, WHAT MOTIVATES YOU, YOU
KNOW, WHY YOU EVEN WANT TO BE IN
THE SENATE.
THE SENATE. AND AGAIN TO SPEAK FOR MYSELF, I
LEFT HOME AT 18 TO GO TO THE AIR
FORCE ACADEMY.
FORCE ACADEMY. I LOST MY DAD WHEN I WAS 12.
MY MOM WAS A SINGLE MOM WITH
FIVE KIDS, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC
SCHOOL EDUCATOR LOOKING FOR
OPPORTUNITIES.
OPPORTUNITIES. AND I CHOSE TO SERVE IN THE
MILITARY, PUT MY LIFE ON THE
LINE FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOUGHT
TOMORROW WOMEN AND GIRLS TO
INCLUDE STOPPING THE PENTAGON
MAKING OUR SERVICE WOMEN WEAR
BURKAS.
BURKAS.
BURKAS. LOOK WHAT I'VE DONE SINCE BEING
IN CONGRESS, BEING EFFECTIVE
ACTUALLY GETTING THINGS DONE,
VOTING FOR YOUR TAX CUTS,
SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY.
AND THE CONTRAST WITH MY GREEN
PARTY ACTIVIST OPPONENT, AND WE
ALSO HAVE ANOTHER GREEN PARTY
CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT AND ALL
THREE OF US SHOULD DEBATE BY THE
WAY, ADVOCATING JUST SHUT DOWN
LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, ADVOCATING
FOR JOHNS OVER VICTIMS OF CHILD
PROSTITUTION.
PROSTITUTION. THESE THINGS ARE REAL IN HER
PAST.
PAST.
PAST. AND
PAST. AND SHE HAS TO EXPLAIN THEM.
>> I WANT TO END WITH A COUPLE
PHOTOS HERE.
PHOTOS HERE. IT'S BEEN WELL RECORDED THAT
YOU'RE A TRIATHLETE MARATHON
RUNNER.
RUNNER.
RUNNER. YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT
WELLNESS AND EXERCISE.
>> YES, I AM.
>> WE HAVE A IN THIS COUNTRY OF
OBESITY AND WELLNESS, REALLY.
CAN GOVERNMENT DO A BETTER JOB
OF HELPING US BE HEALTHIER?
>> LOOK, I THINK --
>> WHERE DO WE START.
>> I LOOK AT INDIVIDUAL
RESPONSIBILITY IS A KEY PART OF
IT, RIGHT.
IT, RIGHT. PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF
THEMSELVES.
THEMSELVES. FOR ME FITNESS WAS ALWAYS A PART
OF MY WAY OF LIFE.
I MEAN, BACK WHEN KIDS USED TO
PLAY OUTSIDE AND THOSE TYPES OF
THINGS OR TAG, BUT FOR ME IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR PHYSICAL HEALTH,
SPIRITUAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL
HEALTH, FOR ME TO BE EXERCISING.
AND MY HOPE WOULD BE THAT
INDIVIDUALS WOULD SEE THE
IMPORTANCE OF THAT.
THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR TELLING YOU TO
GET UP AND SET YOUR ALARM
EARLIER TO GET UP AND GO WORK
OUT IN THE MORNING.
YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY PEOPLE CAN
HAVE INFORMATION AND MAKE GOOD
CHOICES.
CHOICES.
CHOICES. BUT THIS IS REALLY ALL OF US
TOGETHER REALIZING WE ARE GOING
TO BE BETTER AS FAMILIES AND
INDIVIDUALS IF YOU ARE WELL,
BOTH PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, YOU
KNOW, SPIRITUALLY.
KNOW, SPIRITUALLY. AND FOR ME, YOU KNOW, FITNESS IS
A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF THAT.
>> IT'S INTERESTING TO LOOK BACK
AT YOUR BACKGROUND AND SEE HOW
MUCH YOU LOOK UP TO THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
>> I KNOW YOU'RE VERY BUSY SO WE
APPRECIATE YOU.
APPRECIATE YOU. >> IT'S 16 DAYS TILL PEOPLE
START EARLY VOTING.
SO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
>> UP
