Context —

So I asked you earlier to name three men that remind you of Democrats. So who are the three men who are Democrats and I would think Michael Moore comes to mind, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker. Who are your three? Who are the top three Democrats you think of? So anyway my point is that if the three men you think about, if you're a woman and you think of political people, the three Democrats you think…

Let's talk about Abu Dhabi now. When you think of Avenatti who do you think of? Stormy Daniels. Right? So Avenatti, Stormy Daniels. Avenatti, Stormy Daniels. It's impossible not to think of Stormy Daniels and therefore porn and porn stars.

So Avenatti has attached himself to this new headline because he's good at attaching himself to headlines. There he has apparently some new witness. He was going to say something about Kavanaugh. Now if you were on the side of fighting against Kavanaugh, so there were two sides. There's the pro-Kavanaugh and there's the anti-Kavanaugh of the Democrats mostly. If you're on the Democratic side and you're saying oh ho we've got this. We've got all the good people on our side saying let's do the right thing. Let's take the accusation seriously. You know we're on the side of the angels here. We're looking good. Wait we just joined our side. Michael. Who just joined our side? Michael Avenatti. He's on our side now. Michael Avenatti. The guy who's defending the porn star. Okay this is not helping our brand. This is not helping.

So the only thing that could make the allegations against Kavanaugh look less important and less respectable is Michael Avenatti. It has nothing to do with his talent. It has nothing to do with whether the person he's representing is telling the truth. It has nothing to do with that. It's just we make this automatic association with Stormy Daniels and because she's in an industry which has a low regard probably presumably on the left he just brings with it some psychological baggage that he's bringing to his new client who may not be a porn star. Probably not. But she's got a porn star lawyer as her lawyer. So that's not a good look either.

So in terms of the battle of the sexes I would say that the Democrats were essentially the party of women at this point. You know primarily the party for and about women. Again not saying that's good or bad. Just observing that there's a serious gender difference between the parties now. And which is not to say that Republicans are the party of men but they are the party that has men and has women who like men and it seems a little different than the Democrats.

So Fox News is reporting Rob. No that Rosenstein is, let's see that. Let's see that because I don't see that it's not on their website. That would be the top thing. Let's look on Rosen's. We'll find this out in real time. Oh my god. CNBC is reporting it. Rod Rosenstein is reportedly resigning according to CNBC. He's expecting to be fired and it could be immediate. So actually so Axios is the basi…
