BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): I think somebody weighted the audience just a little bit. I think this thing was all scripted. They had a call the night before. The 61 people that were -- 63 people that were thrown out because they couldn't control themselves were basically put there by the Democrats. They caused a series of delays. Think about the family of Brett Kavanaugh, who have watched their dad prestigiously rise up the ranks only to reach the pinnacle of his career, only to be embarrassed like this. They act like a bunch of sixth and seventh graders.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Well, the Kavanaugh daughters, they were escorted from room. They were returned once the opening statements were made. There were 70 arrests. People were wondering what was going to happen next. It seemed pretty dangerous. There were people saying all kinds of hateful things.
...
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): They will want some documents that show what did he when he was a staff secretary during the Bush White House. The documents, not about his legal thinking, but rather the papers that went onto the desk of George W. Bush. Most of them are privileged, and for good reason, because they require honest advice. When [Sen.] Pat Leahy ran the Judiciary Committee, he didn't ask Barack Obama's White House for the documents from [Supreme Court Justice] Elena Kagan's time as solicitor general, and they surely would have been relevant. Jeff Sessions asked Kagan during her hearing the need for privilege, and she said, “The documents ought not be produced because it would undermine the confidentiality necessary for the effective decision-making.” So, in other words, it was a good excuse during the Obama years, but apparently the Democrats don't like it the Trump years.
EARHARDT: Double standard?
DOOCY: A little bit.
...
DOOCY: Brian, half of the committee is running for president. By the way, I saw it this morning, it is a crime to disrupt one of these hearings. It's a criminal offense. You could, if the attorney general decided to go ahead and launch charges against you, you could serve six months in a federal prison. But you know how Capitol Hill works.
EARHARDT: It's not going to happen.
