and 22 hours, senate republicans say that's when the clock runs out on christine blasey ford's invitation to testify about brett kavanaugh. they insist they are being gracious and democrats call it an insensitive sham. >> i would tell her to do what's in her heart and what she is up to dealing with. it's a very unfair fight for her to come on monday where there are no corroborating witnesses and no facts have been found. the republicans have stated they will confirm kavanaugh and they will give her to moment to speak and they don't believe her. >> i want to make clear that we are expecting authorities to deliver a police briefing in harford county, maryland. at least three fatalities. we will take you there live when that happens. we begin with an impasse and a deadline. christine blaze blaze has until

10:00 a.m. tomorrow, shy of 22 hours from now to tell the senate judiciary committee if she will testify against kavanaugh. she said kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school. her legal team wants an fbi investigation first and other witnesses should be called for the senate hearing. she has not ruled out testifying if the republican who is run the committee refuse to yield. the gop plan holds out whether or not they appear and they plan to move ahead with a committee vote next week. the take it or leave it approach for a woman who alleges violent sexual assault is risky. they will not bend. phil matingly is live with the latest. phil, as of this hour, it seems this is up to professor fort. >> no question about it. there are two things true right now. first in talking to republican

aides, there is increasing confidence that if christine blasey ford chooses not to come in, brett kavanaugh will be confirm and they will move forward and take up his nomination on wednesday and move to the floor shortly there after. another thing is true. no one know what is christine blasey ford and her legal team are going to do. that's a level of uneasiness and the moment and the scope of the allegations were that to be aired out in a public hearing. that could change the dynamic not just of the nomination, but the conversation in general here on capitol hill about an issue that is this important. what you have is a lot of people who are uncertain about what happens next. you mention senate judiciary chairman, chuck grassley set the deadline to find out whether or not there will be testimony. that's what everybody is keying on right now. you watched this play out. things have been moving back and

forth and sternly worded statements positioning one way or the other. there is a real possibility that the testimony could happen on monday and right now it's both sides trying to play a positioning battle of who is in the best situation and the best set up when that testimony actually happens. >> part of that positioning battle to a protest outside senator corker's office who said she should come or he is prepared to go forward. it's not just the senators. you have raw political emotions as well. >> what was that? >> i'm taking note of the protests outside senator corker's office and emotions playing out not just among the senators, but advocates on both sides. >> no question about it. you talk to anybody paying attention. the stakes were enormous on this issue. the polarization on this -- >> i'm sorry to interrupt you, i have to go to harford county outside baltimore. >> the law enforcement partners

have been standing here before and stand here yet again today. many people have been affected by the events and the prayers and thoughts are going out to all those affected. we are so preliminary into this investigation. i know there is a million questions. we are not going to take any questions today. i know you have many, but as kristi said, it's important that we deal in facts. there are families that are harmed from today's event. we don't want to make it as if you can make it worse, you certainly can. we don't want to be part of that and want to release facts. please allow us the time to gather facts and share them with that. even though it's very preliminary and it's very limited. at about 9:06 this morning, a report came in from the rite aid distribution center of shots fired. immediately deputies and

officers, troopers and other first responders responded. we were on scene in over five minutes. arriving law enforcement, fire, and ems units quickly pard up together and got up and rendered first aid where appropriate. treating patient and an attempt to locate a suspect or suspects. i can confirm multiple wound and multiple fatalities. based on what we know and it's very preliminary, the lone suspect in this incident is in custody and in critical condition at a local hospital. it appears to be a single weapon that was used. a hand gun and no shots fired by any officers responding to the scene. we do not believe there is an additional threat anywhere to the harford county community. we set up a family reunification

center and the investigation is very early. i and our office will be happy to give you more information as it welcomes available. i ask you to keep victims of today's tragic event in your thoughts and prayers and i also have to thank our fellow 50 responders. we have responders from the federal government on scene within minutes. the dea and atf and state police. natural resources. the local municipal departments in bel air. you name it. as we have seen unfortunately in our community before. you can't have enough police and fast enough. we were fortunate that everyone worked and responded so well together. we were on scene and able to get as much aid as quickly as possible. that's what we have. kristi will put out a little later when we will have details. we will be as timely as we can.

we wanted to offer a few thoughts. >> can i get your name? >> sheriff jeff ga lrhler. >> i got off the phone with governor hogan and updated the governor on the incident so far as we know it. he offered all of his resources available under state government. we appreciate the maryland state police. all the allied agencies that responded. i followed this probably from the moment the call came in on the dispatch and listened to the radio transmissions. unfortunately in today's world we have active shooter drilling and drills and i can tell you and tell our harford county citizens that every agency performed at the top of their profession. the response from all our allied agencies was great.

our fire and ems responded with medical units so i am thankful to all the agencies that came out to help us today to get through this, which is becoming a too often occurrence not only in harford county, but the country. with that said, we really reach out to those families that are suffering right now and lost loved ones and offer our services as we begin to get them reunified not only with loved ones lost, but workers that have been displaced. i thank all our courageous men and women this morning. you suspecting that the suspect shot his or herself? >> we will not give any information right now. this is very fluid. we will provide you the informs as soon as we have it. follow our feeds and we will let you know when the next media briefing will be today and we will nail down the other details and give you a better picture.

>> you have been listening to the police briefing in harford county, north of baltimore. a horrific shooting and multiple people shot and multiple fatalities. we are at a rite aid distribution center in a warehouse not far from baltimore. we are tracking the investigation. the sheriff saying multiple fatalities and a lone suspect in critical condition in a local hospital and none of the official who is responded to the scene had to fire a shot. what more do we know about this? >> the first question you heard that the authorities did not answer was at least telling about what people are trying to get to on the ground there. the question was, are you telling us that the suspect shot himself or herself there in the building? the question about whether there was an attempt for this person to kill himself or herself and also a question about the gender of the shooter.

this started around 9:09 eastern time. it appears that the situation is secured. the reports that we have are five people shot. three people dead. not a lot more information there. it has been described by sources as a workplace shooting which could entail almost anything. about all we know, it's a distribution support facility for rite aid. that of course is the drugstore and pharmaceutical firm with which we are all familiar. we do know also that they locked the whole thing down and it doesn't appear like it's going to get back to normal any time soon as the investigation continues. back to you. >> appreciate the live reporting and we will keep track of the latest. a quick break here and back to the showdown in washington, d.c. the senate judiciary committee wants to know as they set the

willingness to budge and say it will be on monday and no other witnesses. take it or leave it. >> brett kavanaugh relies on her decision whether or not she will appear on monday. she has a difficult decision to make about whether she wants to continue holding out for an fbi investigation that is probably not going to happen or will she take the stand and keep this guy from getting on the bench. a lot of republicans felt if she were to appear on tv and tell her story, that would be the end of this nomination completely. in waiting and not doing anything and not going out there to share, people, republican, the white house feels like the moment is back on their side and he has a chance to get through. >> that's exactly right and there is a feeling among republicans they called her bluff. their posture almost immediately when she came forward was that she should be heard. they wanted to hear from her.

even kellyanne conway said this woman shouldn't be ignored. chuck grassley scheduled a hearing. it was dissimilar to anita hill comes forward. they feel they have been open from hearing for her in public or in private. they are feeling increasingly confident at this moment. we have seen things change so many times, who knows if that will last. >> they seem confident, but the four republicans we were watching viewed as most likely to bolt from the leadership, they seem on board with this for now. the priority is get kavanaugh confirm and get him on the bench before the november election. we don't know what will happen. it's risky for republicans. i put this on the table. not only will they not have the fbi hearing, but professor ford, her attorney said while dr. ford's life is being upside down, you scheduled a public

hearing that entereds interrogation by senators that are convinced she is mistaken and mixed up. people do this for a living who put witnesses under oath and say why just judge kavanaugh and professor ford at the hearing? why not bring in mark judge who she alleges was in the room. another person who was at the house? why won't the republicans bring them in under oath. 13 subpoenas in the benghazi probe and pushing the president to declassify documents because people need to be under oath or they need to be in the record so they have transparency, why won't they say any relevant witness had must testify under oath. >> they don't know where the direction goes. the democrats would be questioning mark judge who has a colorful past he has written about.

they said we know what mark judge is going to say because he submitted a letter. >> in the e-mail investigation, they subpoenaed three technology companies and they said that's not good enough. >> it's not likely to happen at this point. they want this stark contrast between what the professor would likely see and judge kavanaugh would say. they are clearly telegraphing who they believe. lindsey graham will hear her and move on. the mixed up quote is from chairman grassley. she has a big decision. >> senator hatch as well with the mixed up quote. judge kavanaugh said for the fourth day in a row preparing if are a monday hearing. he is going forward as though she is going to be on the stand. are they doing judge kavanaugh a service or a disservice by not having a full airing of this? if they don't have more of a

broader investigation, will he be tainted if confirmed? we don't know the answer, but it's extraordinary and we don't know how it will end. we don't know she is not coming. >> they are prepared. >> i think they are prepared to have kavanaugh testify alone even if she doesn't show up. i think it's a great point, will kavanaugh be tainted? they are concerned about that, but they are fine having clarence thomas on the bench because of what he has done to push the judiciary and the supreme court to the right over the past three decades and i think they would take that deal. >> the calculation is a lot of republican strategists andste pollsters with a giant gender gap. you can exacerbate the gap and lose more seats in november.

let's get a conservative justice into anthony kennedy's seat. that's priority one. >> people who are not part of the conservative movement and the judiciary finds the right together. these people hated donald trump and voted for him anyway and they would take kavanaugh despite the hits to his reputation. >> it's the holy grail. mitch mcconnell took that risk holding a seat open for a year. one reason he can go ahead with the strategy is they brought susan collins and lisa murkowski back in. they wanted to hear her, but if she doesn't come monday, we are ready to go forward. >> for she is not going to be part of the hearing, i think

that would be a very interesting and unfortunate turn of events. >> i think it's not fair to judge kavanaugh for her not to come forward and testify. both of them need to testify under oath. >> this is the democratic counter to that. has it mazy hirono from hawaii. i would like to figure out the best way to proceed and not the seat of the pants stuff. theying we have done everything we can to contact her. that is such, and i will say bullshit. i can hardly say it. you have an incredibly serious accusation. judge kavanaugh is a sitting judge who could be a supreme court justice. his reputation is at stake. you have the parties pointing fingers at each other. >> with murkowski and collins,

they are telling and she is losing support from senator who is could be in her corner if she were to tell her story. if her lawyers were asking for more time to prepare, saying this is traumatic and she is getting death threats, we have to take this slow. assuming the issues are not going to come forward which is unlikely to happen, things can really change if they need more time to prepare. absent that, i think this will move forward. >> the republicans are willing to vote without a full record. without the fbi review and you can have the hearing and say depending on your testimony, maybe we will ask for a review if we find you credible, but to have someone who she said was in the room not to testify under oath is striking, but republicans are comfortable with it. the summit between north and

reassurance of how kim is committed to complete. a lot of will be moon's return to seoul. he said chairman kim is keen to meet with president trump and kim invited mike pompeo back to north korea again. this standing in stark contrast to a north korea state media report earlier this week calling the u.s. demand for full denuclearization stub born. here's a quote the u.s. is demanding. forcing the drpk to act without showing movement. the politicians of the u.s. are persisting in gangster logic. the future totally depends on the stand and action of the u.s. here we are again. north korea again saying it will denuclearize. the south koreans are being

specific. this time they say there can be inspectors, but every official statement in the north korea media said they have to give to get. what's the give? >> that's a huge issue. what is the actual story. president man said that chairman kim wants to declare an end toft war. that would mean removing some 30,000 troops on the peninsula. that has been a non-starter here. i believe there will be a second meeting with chairman kim. it's a great photo op if it's here in the u.s. chairman kim never traveled here and that would be extraordinary, but it's unclear where this is going. mike pompeo, the secretary of state was blocked from going there initially. a lot of this is on their relationship. there is a key meeting at the un

between president trump and president moon. it could give us more of a sense of where this is going. >> there are no missile tests and everybody seems to be talking which is progress in and of itself. to the big question, denuclearization. i want to show you here. at least five times or six times just in 2018, chairman kim said he is willing to denuclearize. if you talk to the cia or intelligence agency, they said the stockpile continues. they said they want it back. the "wall street journal" said they pledged to dismantle and said the same thing in june. the north koreans are experts at selling the same horse twice and it's disappointing that an addition is hailed as a breakthrough when it was the only concrete result. >> they are selling the same horse and i think also very

mindful of the way in which he likes the show horse aspect of this. the pictures of the symbolism and the fact that they are not showing off the missiles and the weaponry and the parade they had. the president said that was progress, but the other progress is being made that is building up the arsenal. china and russia are skirting the sanctions. they are in some ways getting everything they wanted in addition a burnished sort of profile on the national-international stage. >> secretary pompeo talks of a deadline in 2021. he said let's get into a process. nothing wrong with a process because it's difficult. the administration of the past whether it's previous talking with north korea, they are skeptical about the process.

i will allow inspectors in. why didn't he say great. let's do it now. you have six weeks f. they come and you are taking this down, we will have a conversation about sanctions. here they come. invite them in. >> $100 said we are having the same conversation. the whole thing with leading inspectors in, we will lead inspectors in and see us taking apart this nuclear test site. these are sites they don't need. they can build in other places. we are chasing our tails and it goes back to both leaders wanting to have this show. they want to say we are working towards peace. republicans on the trail are pointing to trump and saying look, the president is creating peace with a long time nemesis of ours and they want to keep continuing and saying there is progress, but we are in the same place. >> test it the sooner the

people expected this volcanic firing like this to come for the with something strong. the president is pretty measured and said christine blasey ford should be heard from. that stunned aides who were bracing themselves for the president to have a more typical response. the president has been relishing in the positive response he's gotten and aides said because of that he will continue on saying this woman should be heard from and her accusations should be heard and she should testify on capitol hill. that's not what they were thinking when the woman was first published. the white house officials were calling him and cautioning him not to attack the accuser. they feared that would be his first reaction. president trump was kind of surprised by the calls saying why would i attack her? they went forward with a

measured response and john, we have seen that play out in the past few days. the bottom line is the white house officials are becoming increasingly confident that brett kavanaugh is going to be confirmed. they feel that unless christine blasey ford comes forward to testify, this whole situation is just going to be a blip on rat dar of his supreme court legacy. that's the view here. back at the white house, john? >> kaitlyn collins with fresh reporting. kaitlyn talks about the confidence at the white house. he asked the senate majority leader if he has confidence. he said "oh, yeah." this is john cornyn from texas. i wonder if this was his approach when they had big cases that try. when asked about to have outside witnesses including the man in the room at times telling kavanaugh to stop and other times egging him on. he denies them.

bring them in as witnesses. we had a hearing and that's what i call ri jacking the process to accommodate interests. that would be getting it under oath. hijacking? do they think they are on safe ground? >> these not the only one saying that. you wonder why. this is not going to be and they are leading the views go. they are at odds with what the chairman has been doing. he has been saying we want her to come forward and we will do this in four different ways. i'm not sure why they keep talking about this. >> largely speaking in letters so he is not before a camera. >> that's smart. >> it sounds like 1991 as

opposed to 2018. >> i'm not sure how that is. >> the roles are reverse and senate republicans are saying please just stop with the controversial language and tone it down. he has been reserved a& not goig after ford specifically. he is using reverse psychology and saying we want her to appear and come for the and tell us her story. republicans do not want that. >> we are seeing as it plays out on the 2018 campaign trail. most of the trump state dem can krats are being cautious. clair mccaskill said she will vote no. she said her vote is because of campaign finance and other questions about the record. she is clearly confident in a close race that her position, i assume she assumes that helps

her with women voters. another is nevada. the president is heading there tonight. the president travels with dean heller, the most vulnerable. i'm grateful for the effort of president trump and what he has done. the excitement we have. we have a hiccup here with the kavanaugh nomination. we will get through this and off to the races. the response is unbelievable. senator heller dismissed a credible assault allegation as a hiccup and predicted kavanaugh will be confirmed soon. we will have a showdown between the election in 47 days. >> he owes the path to being in the general election to donald trump. he had first been critical of the candidate and maybe a swing vote in different big decisions before congress, but now he has doubled down on donald trump. it's no surprise there that he is referring to it. in a dismissive way in the way a

lot of other republicans are doing as well. >> the only question i have about the role of the supreme court vote in the mid-terms is we are still a long way away. given the propensity we have seen to overshadow other issues, i wonder how many other controversies will they be between a potential kavanaugh vote next week and november. it seems likely to me and certainly possible if not likely that there will be many other issues that arise between now and then. they become more important than on the posture that could be months in the past. >> it's an excellent point. if the president doesn't like the controversy of the moment, he starts a new one. we have seen that happen time and time again. up next, we will continue that part of the conversation. the president is on the campaign trail heading west where he is hoping to salvage the senate seat in nevada. y? hi! cinturones por favor. gracias.

president trump heading west for a two-day campaign swing that takes him to nevada and missouri. the goal is to boost gop candidates and his own poll numbers that have taken a significant dip. republicans want an on message president. instead he tweeted this. where is the money for border security and the wall and this ridiculous spending bill. where will it come from after the mid-terms. republicans must finally get tough. attacking his own party when he is supposed to be promotinpromo. he is heading out on behalf of dean heller with one of the six toss ups. he is considered the most vulnerable senate republican when it comes to the battle for

the supreme court. let's look at the numbers. this is why this is so important in a pest of the salesmanship, if you will. the issues that matter in the race, the president comes in second after the economy. immigration and back to that in a second. here's the big deal. the president not in as bad of shape, but 50% disa pure. can the president use his split to gin up republican turn out or is the appearance ending up exciting democrats. a lot of ad spending is nasty. >> i have stage 4 cancer and i would be dead without health insurance. you promised to protect our insurance, but he voted to gut protection for preexisting

conditions. >> she skipped to to film a campaign commercial. >> she voted against holding the va accountable for mistreating veterans. >> she campaigned in hollywood with jane fonda. >> this is one of the six or that factor in and build a seat or two and can the democrats pull off what they thought was unthinkable and take the senate majority. >> this is risky. whenever the president comes in, there is a counter reaction on the left. the democrats get excited to vote. the president is going to stayses that heeraried and we will see if it pays off or it can backfire.

>> they will ask where the president is going. i open it's elko, but it's las vegas. the president fires up the resistance movement and the only shots republicans have is to get the trump voters out. they can't fult him for doing that. the central question, will trump voters going to rub off on other candidates. it didn't work for obama or bush. we don't know. >> if we have the president under 40. if he stays under 40 and several national polls have him under 40. the house is gone and the senate is at risk. the challenge is to use these rallies to try to go up in the polls and not stay flat or go down. bill clinton on election day in 1994 in the exit polls, his approval rating was 48%.

barack obama's first in 2010 he was at 44% approval rating and the exit polls, they lost 63 house seats and six senate seats. if the president is below 40, the republicans are going to get wiped out, period. >> part of the poll numbers, if you look into them for trump is about the independent voters. nevada has a lot of independent voters. 25% or something. what are they going to think about when they see trump there and heller clinging to him. you can tell rosen is really trying to make those votes two peas in a pod. it's all about trump. >> the president is going on the road and tweets where is my wall money. why won't republicans get tough? they need a focused and disciplined president. >> the president has been someone who campaigns to the base rather than the middle. he did what was unthinkable and

draws out people who had not voted in previous elections and got people to switch parties. many obama voters voted for trump. whether that can happen in the mid-terms, those voters tend not to vote in mid-terms and it will be more challenging. >> sometimes they said he's an independent president going after his own voters. thanks for joining us. quick break and wolf starts. have a great day.
