>>> OUR SUPREME COURT
CONFIRMATION COVERAGE CONTINUES,
DAY THREE HERE OF THE HEARINGS FOR JUDGE JACKSON AND I'M JOINED
FOR JUDGE JACKSON AND I'M JOINED
AS PROMISED BY ELI MISTAL AND
WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT INTO
IT.
HERE IS SENATOR TED CRUZ WHEN HE
WOULDN'T EVEN FOLLOW THE RULES
AS HE TRIED TO SHOW THAT HE WAS
MORE UPSET THAN ANYONE.
>> SENATOR, WOULD YOU PLEASE LET
HER RESPOND.
>> NO, NOT IF HE'S GOING TO
ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.
YOU HAVE TAKEN OVER A MINUTE OF
MY TIME MR. CHAIRMAN.
>> YOU'VE BEGUN GIVEN EXTRA
TIME.
>> COME IN FOR 57 --
>> TIME IS EXPIRED.
YOUR TWO MINUTES OVER THE
ALLOTTED.
PLEASE SENATOR.
>> WILL YOU ALLOW HER TO ANSWER
THE QUESTION.
>> PLEASE SENATOR.
SENATOR COOPS.
>> WHY ARE YOU NOT ALLOWED HER
TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THE CHAIRPERSON
REFUSE TO ALLOW A WITNESS TO
ANSWER A QUESTION.
>> YOU COULD BANG IT AS LOUD AS
YOU WANT.
>> AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO
FOLLOW THE RULES.
>> ELI.
>> WHEN IS THE DAY THAT TED CRUZ
WILL BE MADE TO FOLLOW THE RULES
BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
PLEASE TELL ME WHEN.
LY SIGN UP FOR IT.
I WILL SIT THERE AND WATCH TED
CRUZ TO BE MADE TO FOLLOW THE
RULES BUT RIGHT NOW THE
DEMOCRATS WON'T DO THAT.
LOOK AT WHAT CHRIS COONS DID IN
THAT SITUATION.
HE WAS VERY NICE.
HE WAS WAITING HIS TURN.
THAT IS NOT WHAT I WOULD HAVE
DONE.
ONCE IT IS MY TIME TO TALK, I
WOULD HAVE STARTED TALKING JUST
LIKE I DID RIGHT NOW.
WHY COULDN'T HE DO THAT WHEN
CRUZ IS GOING OVER TIME.
RIGHT.
LIKE AT THE END OF THE DAY,
PEOPLE HAVE TO REMEMBER AND I
KNOW YOU DO, ARI, WHERE THIS
SCREAMING FROM JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE STARTED.
THEY LOVE TO BRING IT UP SO
LET'S GO BACK TO 2018, BRETT
KAVANAUGH AS BEEN ACCUSED BY
ATTEMPTED RAPE BY CHRISTINE
BLAZE FORD AND THAT TESTIMONY IS
COMPELLING AND BELIEVABLE.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A FEMALE
ASSISTANT, THEIR WORD NOT MINE,
CROSS-EXAMINING HER.
THAT IS NOT GOING WELL.
THEY TAKE A BREAK AND THEY COME
BACK.
AND LINDSEY GRAHAM STARTS
SHOUTING.
HE DOESN'T HAVE -- DOESN'T HAVE
ANY EVIDENCE.
SHE JUST STARTED CRYING AND
SHOUTING.
SMEARING, RIGHT.
AND THEN THE REST OF THE
REPUBLICANS START SHOUTING AND
THEN BRETT KAVANAUGH STARTED
SHOUTING AND CRYING.
AND LIKE THAT WE GO HAVE A
SERIOUS HEARING ABOUT A SERIOUS
ALLEGATION TO A CIRCUS CAUSED BY
THE REPUBLICANS TO GET THEIR GUY
THROUGH.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT LINDSEY
GRAHAM DID THROUGHOUT THIS
HEARING.
HE STARTED SCREAMING AND THEN
THE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS
FOLLOWED LINE.
>> I THINK THERE IS VALUE TO YOU
DRAWING THAT LINK, ESPECIALLY
HAVING WATCHED THE HEARINGS THAT
IT WAS THE OTHER SIDE AND THEIR
VERSION OF THAT HISTORY THAT
CAME UP A LOT.
YOU'RE OFFERING A BIT OF A
CORRECTIVE.
I MENTIONED TO OUR PREVIOUS
GUEST AND VIEWERS WE'RE GOING TO
GET INTO THE QANON STUFF MORE.
BUT I'M JUST READING HEAR FROM
THE REPORTING OUT OF "THE
WASHINGTON POST" THAT NOTES
REPUBLICAN ACTIVIST INCREASINGLY
USE THIS LANGUAGE OF CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY CRACKDOWNS, ONE
EXPERIENCED DEMOCRATIC OFFICIAL
BRIAN FALLON SAID, QUOTE, IT IS
A SOP TO THE QANON ELEMENT.
AND I JUST WANT TO BE VERY
CLEAR, THERE IS A WAY TO LOOK AT
A JUDGE'S RECORD AND INCLUDING
THEIR SENTENCING THAT IS GOING
TO TOUCH ON THINGS THAT ARE
UNSAVORY, THE CRIMINAL
SENTENCING AND THAT IS CERTAINLY
VALID.
THIS SEEMED TO CROSS OVER,
ESPECIALLY AS THE HOURS WORE ON,
IT IS SOMETHING ELSE.
MR. FALLON, WHO HAS EXPERIENCE
IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, SEES
IT AS THIS.
CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH THAT
WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE AN
ACCUSATION OF AN EFFORT TO LINK
THIS TO BROADER CONSPIRACY
THEORIES THAT ANYONE THE RIGHT
WING DISAGREES WITH ARE PART OF
A CABAL OF PEDOPHILES.
>> WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
SENTENCING OUGHT ALL.
THIS IS A SUPREME COURT
APPOINTMENT.
THIS DOESN'T SENTENCE PEOPLE.
IT REVIEWS SENTENCES BUT DOESN'T
SENTENCE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
SO GOING INTO THIS PART OF THE
HISTORY, OF HER JUDICIAL HISTORY
IS A BIT OF A NON SEQUITUR.
AND NOW AGAIN THEY'RE NOT
ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE CHILD
PORN CASES BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE
CASES SHE'S, YOU KNOW, BEEN --
THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON HER
THERE.
SO NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
SUBSET OF CASES WHICH IS A NEW
NEW -- A NUANCED POSITION OF
PEOPLE LOOKING AT THE CHILD
PORN.
WELL I THINK LOOKING IS JUST AS
BAD.
SO DO I.
BUT THEY HAVE SENTENCING FOR
THAT.
WE KNOW WE HAVE EVIDENCE THAT
THIS KIND OF ALLEGATION
INCREASES -- IT BELIEVED BY THE
QANON CRAZIES ON THEIR SIDE AND
LEADS TO DIRECT VIOLENCE.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE KNOWS THAT.
THE REPUBLICANS MAKING THESE
ARGUMENTS.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE KNOWS THAT,
KETANJI BROWN JACKSON.
WHY DO I KNOW THAT SHE KNOWS
THAT.
BECAUSE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON IS
WHO SENTENCED THE PIZZA GATE
GUY.
SHE SENTENCED HIM FOR HIS
CRIMES.
HE GOT FOUR YEARS.
THE PROSECUTORS ASKED FOR FOUR
AND A HALF.
SHE DOWNWARD DEPARTURE FROM WHAT
THE PROSECUTORS ASKED FOR.
GAVE HIM FOUR.
AND IT IS INTERESTING THOUGH TO
THINK THAT OF ALL OF THE TALK
ABOUT SENTENCING, CAN'T JACKSON
ACTUALLY SENTENCING THE PIZZA
GATE GUY, THAT HAS NEVER COME UP
FROM REPUBLICANS.
I WONDER WHY.
SO THIS IS IMPORTANT.
>> I JUST WANT TO UNDERSCORE,
BECAUSE YOU TALK SO FAST, YOU
KNOW, I CAN ALMOST BARELY KEEP
UP.
>> SORRY.
>> I JUST UNDERSCORING YOUR
REFERRING TO WHAT I WAS
DISCUSSING WITH DAHLIA, THAT A
RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY ONLINE
FOLLOWED BY SOMEONE THAT WAS
SADLY VIOLENT AND DERANGED AND
SHOWED UP IN WASHINGTON WHERE
THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD BUST UP
A CLINTON-ESQUE PEDOPHILIA
OPERATION AND AS A LOCAL
DISTRICT JUDGE SHE WAS THE ONE
SENTENCING IT.
I HAVE ONE MORE THING TO PLAY
FOR YOU BUT ANY FINAL THOUGHT ON
THAT.
>> I TO SAY AGAIN, SHE IS PRIME
TO BE HATED BY THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THESE
ALLEGATIONS.
RIGHT.
THAT IS THE CONNECTION THAT IS
IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND.
>> YEAH.
AND I THINK YOU MAKE THAT
