NOTHING SHORT OF EUPHORIC. >> WHOO, WE'RE GOING TO
KAVANAUGH THIS TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU, SENATOR KENNEDY.
>> QUITE A DISPLAY, DANA. >> THAT'S RIGHT, DON.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PACEMAKERS BEING PUT TO THE TEST TONIGHT.
AND I SEE MITCH McCONNELL HERE. MITCH, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
>> OH, OH, THAT WAS AWESOME, WHOO.

THROWING BOATS, BUT THANK THE MALE LORD THAT WAS NOT
NECESSARY. HELPED A LOT WITH DEMOCRATS.
JOE MANSION SCORED IN HIS OWN GOAL, THAT WAS DOPE AND COULDN'T
HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT SUSAN COLLE NLS.
SUSAN, GET OVER HERE. >> DID I ATTACK?

TUNE IN AT 3:00 P.M. TO TELL ALL MY FEMALE SUPPORTERS, PSYCH.
>> AND YOU DON'T THINK BRETT KAVANAUGH DID ANYTHING WRONG?
>> LISTEN, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BELIEVE WOMEN UNTIL
IT'S TIME TO STOP BUT I BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, I CAN PARTY WITH
THE BIG DOGS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN TONIGHT.
