WASHINGTON AND LET'S KEEP THE
POLITICAL CONVERSATION GOING IT
WAS DAY ONE OF THE CONFIRMATION
HEARINGS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
SUPREME COURT PICK AMY
CONEY BARRETT. WE REVEALING
SOME DEEP RIFTS BETWEEN
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS OUT
TO BRING IN PATRICE ON WILL
CAUSE SHE'S A SENIOR POLICY
ANALYST OVER AT THE INDEPENDENT
WOMEN'S FORUM, A CONSERVATIVE
NONPROFIT A PATRICE GOOD
MORNING GREAT TO SEE YOU
AS ALWAYS WE SAW A LOT OF FOCUS
DURING MONDAY'S CONFIRMATION
HEARINGS FROM DEMOCRATS REALLY
ABOUT HEALTH CARE AND THE A
C A WE SAW REPUBLICANS REALLY
TRIED TO BRING UP HER RELIGION
ALMOST TRYING TO BAIT DEMOCRATS
IN THAT SORT
OF DIRECTION WAS THIS PITCH BY
DEMOCRATS ON HEALTH CARE AND
AMY CONEY BARRETT STRIKING DOWN
THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH
CARE ACT IS THAT A PITCH TO
AMERICAN VOTERS AHEAD OF
ELECTION DAY HERE.
>> WELL IT ABSOLUTELY ISN'T
GOOD MORNING. YOU KNOW
DEMOCRATS WERE REALLY
SUCCESSFUL IN THE 2018
MID-TERMS BY FOCUSING ON HEALTH
CARE. I'M HITTING HIM AND
HITTING PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
HITTING REPUBLICANS ON IT AND
SO I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO
PIN IT FROM THE CORONAVIRUS TO
HEALTH CARE WHICH IS A LITTLE
BIT THE 10 ARGUMENT TO MAKE BUT
SAYING OK IF YOU BRING HER ON
THE COURT THAT SHE IS GOING TO
STRIKE DOWN THAT HEALTH
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER SHE
WOULD REALLY DO THAT AND I
DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY
PARTICULAR INDICATION WEEK HAVE
THAT SHE IS GOING TO BE
PARTISAN. AS WHEN SHE SITS ON
THE BENCH AND THAT SHE'S GOING
TO SIMPLY STRIKE IT DOWN
BECAUSE SHE'S A REPUBLICAN OR
BECAUSE SHE
WAS NOMINATED BY. TRUMP I'M SO
IF THE DEMOCRATS ARE REALLY
JUST USING A FAIR FEAR TACTIC
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY TACTIC
THEY HAVE SHE IS AN EXCELLENT
SHE GETS RAVEN RATINGS FROM THE
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ON
CERTAIN HE REALLY ON PARTY
SAYING I'M SO I THINK THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE HEARING. AND
YESTERDAY THE BATTLE LINES WERE
DRY. BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS AND I THINK WHAT
AND IN ADDITION TO THE
RELIGIOUS ARGUMENT. THEY'RE
ALSO SAYING HEY WAIT A MINUTE.
THIS IS DEMOCRATS TRYING
TO USE THIS COURT AS A
LEGISLATIVE TOOL RATHER THAN A
JUDICIAL TO WHICH IT
SHOULD BE.
>> A PREACHER'S WE REMEMBER HOW
CONTENTIOUS THE BRETT KAVANAUGH
HEARINGS WERE BACK IN
2018. IN MANY
CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS THAT
WERE UP FOR REELECTION IN 2018
ENDED UP LOSING THEIR SEATS IN
2018. AND A LOT OF REPUBLICANS
SAID THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE
KAVANAUGH HEARINGS THAT REALLY
BOX THAT MAN.
DO YOU THINK DEMOCRATS MAY BE
LEARNED THEIR LESSON FROM
KAVANAUGH AND THEY'RE TAKING A
DIFFERENT APPROACH AND THAT
MIGHT BE WHAT MAYBE THEY THINK
HELPS THEM THIS NOVEMBER.
>> WELL IT'S INTERESTING
BECAUSE THE SUPREME COURT
NOMINATION IS VERY GALVANIZING
REPUBLICANS IN PARTICULAR I
THINK DEMOCRATS FEEL LIKE THEY
CAN THIS NOMINATION OUT TO
GALVANIZE THEIR VOTE. THEY'RE
SAYING IF YOU'RE A WOMAN AND
YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT ROLL AND YOU
NEED TO VOTE OR IF YOU'RE A
WOMAN YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
HEALTH CARE THEN YOU NEED TO
DID KAVANAUGH BACKED BY
ARE ABSOLUTE. NOW WHAT'S
INTERESTING IS WE DIDN'T SEE
THE KAVANAUGH ALLEGATIONS UNTIL
AFTER ALL THE ALRIGHT ORAL
ARGUMENTS HAVE BEEN HEARD OR
THE INITIAL. HEARING
IN REMARKS HAVE BEEN MADE IT
THAT KAVANAUGH ALLEGATION CAME
OUT LATER AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY
THAT WE CAN'T
HEARING SURPRISE SO TO SPEAK
BEFORE THE ACTUAL VOTE TAKES
PLACE BECAUSE AGAIN AND REALLY
NO SURPRISES ARE JUST
MEANT TO PUSHED
BOEHNER BILL DEMOCRATS AND AT
THE TIME WHEN THE REPUBLICANS
INTO A BOX AND FORCING THEM TO
GO ON THE RECORD RIGHT BEFORE
THE
ELECTION. SO IT WOULDN'T
SURPRISE ME IF THERE'S
SOMETHING UP THEIR SLEEVE BUT
THERE'S SO THERE'S IT'S HARD
TO HIT. AMY CONEY BARRETT ON
ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE'S
ACCOMPLISHED BECAUSE HE'S A
SCHOLAR SHE HAS A RECORD THAT
INDICATES SHE IS NOT GOING TO
BE UP POLITICAL TOOL HE'S GOING
TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE LOT OF
PEOPLE TO WHAT THE CONSTANT
WHAT THE CONSTITUTIONALLY
PRESCRIBED DUTIES OF THE
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
SHOULD BE.
>> YOU BRING UP A REALLY GOOD
POINT ABOUT KAVANAUGH BECAUSE
YOU'RE RIGHT YOU KNOW THE NEXT
COUPLE DAYS WHO KNOWS WHAT IS
ABOUT
TO HAPPEN. IN REGARDS TO THIS
THE OTHER THING THAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING IN ALL OF THIS IS
IS. ANY KLOBUCHAR WAS ASKED
YESTERDAY WHAT TOOLS TO
DEMOCRATS REALLY HAVE AT THEIR
DISPOSAL TO STOP AMY CONEY.
YOU
KNOW NOMINATION AND REALLY THE
VOTES JUST AREN'T THERE AT THIS
PARTICULAR POINT YOU HAVE TO
THINK MITCH MCCONNELL KNOWS HE
AT LEAST HAS 51 VOTES
RIGHT NOW DO YOU SEE ANY SORT
OF THING THAT COULD DERAIL THIS
BETWEEN NOW NOW AND ELECTION
DAY THAT DOESN'T GET HER
CONFIRMED AT THE END OF THE
DAY.
>> I MEAN UNLESS THERE IS AN
AND CERTAIN SENATORS ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE I BUILT A BIG
TO BOTH AND KNOW RIGHT NOW THE
COMMITTEE HAS 12 VOTES TO 10 IN
SUPPORT WHAT WOULD LIKELY VOTES
IN SUPPORT OF A C B AND THEN
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT YOU GOT
53 REPUBLIC, IT'S COMPARED TO
THE NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS IN THE
ENTIRE SENATE. SO THE NUMBERS
ARE IN FAVOR
OF THERE UNLESS YOU KNOW AND
UNFORTUNATELY HAVE SOMEONE
BECOMES SAFE AND THEY'RE NOT
ABLE TO SHOW UP
AND VOTE. I WILL NOT I CAN'T
IMAGINE ANY SORT OF SCANDAL BUT
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WHAT
SOMEBODY COULD COME UP WITH AT
THE
LAST MINUTE. I DO HOPE I REALLY
HOPE THEY DON'T HOLD THEM OTHER
CAR. AND SAY HOW CAN YOU BE A
MOTHER
TO 7 I HOPE THEY DON'T PULL THE
THE WOMAN CARD
AND I HOPE THEY DON'T HOLD BE
RELIGIOUS CARD BECAUSE YES IT
CAN ABSOLUTELY BACKFIRED WHEN
YOU CONSIDER. IT'S SO
MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY
TOLERANCE FOR RELIGIOUS
BIGOTRY.
>> ALL RIGHT, YEAH, AND IT'S
GOING TO INTERESTING TO SEE
WHAT HAPPENS STARTING AT
09:00AM WHEN THE
COMMITTEE GETS EVERYTHING SEEMS
THIS MORNING I WANT TO SWITCH
GEARS AND TALK ABOUT THE
ELECTION PRESIDENT TRUMP
OBVIOUSLY GOING FOR HIS RALLY
FOR HIS FIRST ONE THAT HE'S HAD
IN QUITE A WHILE THIS AFTER HE
TESTED NEGATIVE ACCORDING TO
HIS DOCTORS. THERE'S ONLY 21
DAYS LEFT PATRICE THERE'S STILL
A LOT OF GROUND TO BE MADE UP
HERE ESPECIALLY
WITH THAT PAUL'S WITH WEATHER
AT I WE KNOW EVERY DAY THAT THE
PRESIDENT WASN'T ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL WAS THE LAST
DAY HERE. DO YOU ENVISION THE
NEXT 21 DAYS THAT HE'S GOING TO
BE ABLE TO CATCH UP TO JOE
BIDEN WHO RIGHT NOW ACCORDING
TO REAL CLEAR POLITICS AVERAGE
HAS ALMOST A 10.8% LEAD ON
PRESIDENT TRUMP RIGHT NOW.
>> WELL THERE CERTAINLY HAVE A
LOT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP AND
IT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE LOOK
AT THE SWING STATES YOU LOOK AT
STATES. FLORIDA YOU LOOK AT
IOWA, YOU
LOOK AT ON NORTH CAROLINA WHICH
HIT HIM OR STATES THAT HE'S
HITTING THIS
WEEK. THE REAL CLEAR AVERAGE
POLL RIGHT NOW IT'S PRETTY
TIGHT, IT'S LESS THAN 2%.
SO THAT'S PROBABLY WITHIN THE
MARGIN OF ERROR THAT
MEANS THAT THERE IS STILL A
CHANCE HE CAN SWAY SOME VOTERS
IN THOSE KEY STATES STATES
HANDS, WE KNOW THE MARGIN IS A
LOT BIGGER PROVIDED I BELIEVE
IT'S LIKE 7% OR
8%. SO IT'S IT'S IT'S GOING TO
BE HARDER TO HIT AT A PLACE
LIKE PENNSYLVANIA. THE
QUESTIONER AT THEIR TEACHINGS
AND LOOKING FOR IN
2016 YOU HAVE 4.4 MILLION OBAMA
VOTERS IN 2012 WHO SAT OUT
2060 WILL BIDEN ENERGIZE THOSE
VOTERS THOSE COULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE BUT YOU ALSO HAVE
TRUMBULL OR SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP
IN A LOT OF
THE POLLS OR IN BALLARD STORE
OR AFRAID OF THE BLOW BACK AND
SAYING YOU KNOW, I'M A TRUMP
SUPPORTER WILL THEY STILL DO I
BELIEVE THEY'RE STILL A LOT OF
THOSE UNDERCOVER TRUMP
SUPPORTERS THAT MAY NOT BE
COUNTED AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT
THE CAMPAIGN IS REALLY
BELIEVING IS GOING BE ABLE TO
PUSH THE PRESIDENT BACK
TOWARD SO YOU KNOW THE MORE WE
SEE THESE RALLIES, THE AIRPLANE
LOT OF RALLIES WE SEE THE
PRESIDENT WHICH WAS BEING
VIGOROUS AND HE IS STAYING ON
STAGE FOR AN HOUR ENERGIZING
HIS BASE. I THINK THAT'S REALLY
GOING TO HELP. NOW WE'VE STILL
GOT 3 WEEKS TO GO. AND AGAIN, I
DON'T EVEN THINK THE PRESIDENT
GETTING HURT A VIRUS IS THE
OCTOBER SURPRISE STILL HAS
SOMETHING FOR
A WHILE.
>> OKAY WELL I LISTEN, I'M
