A Hearing for the History Books: Ford Versus Kavanaugh

America On The Line | Sep 27, 2018

Today on America On The Line, host Jonathan Capehart talks about the news of the day with the Washington Bureau Chief at HuffPost, Amanda Terkel and WNYC's Legal Analyst and host of All Things Considered, Jami Floyd. They discuss the Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh hearings with the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. And we ask listeners: What did you think about the two people who testified? Did you believe one and not the other? And how do you feel about this entire process?

Also joining us for analysis of the political and personal drama of the hearings are: staff writer at The New Yorker, Susan Glasser, host of NPR's Latino USA, Maria Hinojosa and staff writer for The Federalist, Bre Payton. 

And, as always, we’ll take calls from listeners from across the country all hour long. We want to hear what’s on voters’ minds heading into the midterm elections. Give us a call at 844-745-TALK or tweet using the hashtag #AOTL.
