justice. many kentuckians channeling the grief and anger in the exercise of their first amendment rights but last night, we saw more lawlessness, lights and violence in american cities too often this year. businesses were vandalized, flyers set in the streets and to officers of the police department were shot public safety downtown. as of last night, one officer was still undergoing surgery. both in stable condition. we are praying both will make full recoveries one suspect is in custody. peaceful protests honor the memory of breonna taylor, peaceful protests move us toward justice as windows do not,

setting fires does not. writing in the streets does not. trying to gun down law enforcement officers bravely serving their communities is a kind of despicable cowardice that must be met with the full force of the law. i want to thank all the kentucky peace officers who continue to put their lives on the line every single day. inspected our governor and mayor taking every step to secure the justice peace law and order that every kentuckian deserves. an entirely different matter, will now move his family to the supreme court, we do not know yet which legal all-star from his list will be nominated. strangely enough, we do know exactly what the fark s left wil sasi instant she or he is

introduced. , is not curious when you think about it? the confirmation process is about the qualifications and credentials of the nominee. why is it practically any citizens sit down at the kitchen table right now days before the nomination and write down in advance accusations far left has guaranteed to be screaming by saturday night? because your appear decade after decade, far left playbook stays exactly the same. to them, menomini makes no difference. every time, and 45 years, 45 years that a republican president has nominated someone to the supreme court the exact same set of clenched horror
4:29 pm
storiesd wheeling out of stora. dusted off and paraded past the america people. 1975, menomini for his insistent opposition to women's rights and extraordinary lack of sensitivity to the problems women face. who was this would turn back the clock? is the late justice, john paul stevens. went on to lead the course of the liberal way for decades. n987, it was an encore performance, menomini from president reagan was savaged by liberal groups. the president of one left wing group insisted he was sexist and disaster for women that would be
4:30 pm
anthony kennedy. once again, the skies do not fall. when justice kennedy retired in 2008, the new head of the same liberal organization stated they were alarmed by his retirement. the same said the sky was falling in the 80s because justice kennedy was nominated. the sky was falling in 82018 because he was retiring. in1990, the got them back togetr again. this time the sky was falling will sure president bush picked someone whose record was very troubling. this prudence would surely threaten to undo advances made by women, minorities and other disadvantaged groups. this would mean ending freedom for women in this country.
4:31 pm
talk about wearing out the volume was future justice, dav david, by the way. one simply said, listen to this, scott, stop that or women will die sooner or women will die. he would go on to become a favorite justice of the same groups. it has still never occurred to them their crystal balls checked. the same unhinged out every time scare tactics, every single time. these people are the far left version of the broadcasters spent 20 years predicting different days before the end of the world. raising money and a new day every time he was off.

justice scalia was unfit justice thomas hated the rule of law, justice was also for the rights of women, it is all one give big scam directed at the american people. in 2005, he cut a television ad that tried to link are now chief justice of the u.s. the violent bombing of an abortion clinic. how despicable can he get? before this ad was pulled off the air, is that john roberts would excuse violence against other americans. chief justice every town no matter how upstanding or how qualified, no matter their views were record, every nominee it's the same treatment so long as the president who nominated them is not a democrat.
4:33 pm
as long as the president nominated them is not a democrat. but when democrats nominate people, none of this happened. when we confirm justice ginsburg and breyer, i don't require remember any sanders being stalked. i don't recall weeks of character assassination. we confirm justice taken, i don't recall the mainstream media declaring the death of democracy. for half a century, we've seen double standard. when a democratic president makes ake nomination, it is the nonevent by comparison. the coastal political class and their friends in the media are going on like normal but whenever a republican nomination

declaring comes announcement today is a death sentence, a death sentence. and white patriarchal premises now have free reign. the actual nominee was so irrelevant to the dam he literally forgot to fill in the blank, forgot to fill in the blank. the first line of the press release condemns donald trump's nomination of next x to the supreme court. it saved so people can writing the bingo cards right now. we already know every outline, unhinged attack we are going to hear. biden has already cut to the front of the line. yesterday he offered the
4:36 pm
following assessment prior to learning who he was assessing, quote, women's rights as it relates to everything from mental health care is going to be gone. former vice president biden yesterday. good luck deciphering what he is trying to say. it sounds like more of the same old junk. perhaps the nation will soon watch this man in his late 70 70s, condescend to explain women's healthcare to resident trump indicates he is considering. fortunately, the far left scam artists do not get special interest groups fundraising appeals, do not get to vote. the fate of this nomination will be determined by the u.s. sanders from the american t peoe elected to do job.

a fair hearing, a fair process and a fair vote on the actual nominee forget about fill in the blank. >> madam president, our adversaries information, this information in our society and seek to influence our elections. vladimir putin will stop at nothing to diminish western democracies, research in china wants to take america's place on the world stage but the greatest threat to our democracy right now does not come from any foreign capital, it comes from our own. the greatest threat to democracy in america is president donald daump. yesterday at a news conference, president trump refused to commit to the peaceful plans for power should he lose
