believe survivors. >> i could not conclude that he is the right person for the court at this time. >> and so i say to every american that is hurting tonight, every american that's angry tonight, tomorrow we face a defeat but we shall not be edefeated. ♪ this is "new day weekend." with victor blackwell and christy ford. thesont vote today to confirm supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh. >> democrats pulling an all nighter as they continue speaking against cavanaugh's nomination. >> senator joe mansion of west virginia. >> we spoke with mansion after

he announced his plans yesterday. good morning to you, are you hearing this hour? >> democrats have spent all night criticizing this nominee and supporting the accuser as she said in her sworn testimony that brett kavanaugh tried to rain her when they were teenagers. these are words that there being sited throughout the night, including senator jeff merkley. this is not going to change the outcome of today's vote later this afternoon when the senate is expected to narrowly confirm this nomination. unlarge part because of the belief by republican senators that judge kavanaugh is correct and believing his denial that nothing lat had happened.

one of them is a democrat who i spoke with yesterday and i asked him correctly do you believe christine blasey ford's story and he said there's nothing to corroborate. >> do you believe the allegation snz. >> i believe dr. ford. i don't believe the facts show it was brett kavanaugh. >> you thing it was somebody else? >> i think something happened to heir. >> there's no way lat that wed see. >> joe manchion is up for reelecti reelection in a very close race and the only democrat to vote. and the own elarepublican raised sear wrs concerns about his temperament.

and that not confident he can raise above nonpartisanship. she said she would vote present on the floor because of one republican senator from montana, steve gains who is walking down his daughter town the aisle at her wedding and will not be able to return via vote this afternoon. so they want to keep the vote margin at two votes and make sure there's not one that's a deciding vote. so a 50-48-1 vote. and he'll narrowly confirm. >> thank you. and i think the fact that the suspected confirmation could shift the supreme court for the first time in decades. and joan, thank you so much for being with us. no confirmation, as we

understand it, has been so na narrow historically. >> my fervent hope is that brett kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in the supreme court so that we have far fewer 5-4 decisions and that public ono confidence in our judiciary and our highest court is restored. >> i believe judge kavanaugh is a good man but unmy conscience, because that's how i have to vote at the end of the day with my conscience, i could not conclude he is the right person for the court at this time. >> joan collins has said that

her hope is that kavanaugh will work to lecithssen the division. do you think he's capable of that? >> we don't know how this whole ordeal has efected him and he may feel the need do that since that first set off hearings after the back drop of sexual assault against hum. but going into it he was not positioned to lessen the division, he was positioned to intensify the division because he's far more conservative based on his record than the justice who who's succeeding. anthony kennedy was very flexible on things like abortion rights, affirmative action. everything in brett kavanaugh's record and everything this administration wants would indicate who's farther to the right, deepening a 5-4 split. just so you know this court

already was made up of five conservatives apointed by c republican can conservatives and anthony kennedy did indeed straddle the middle. i think it was much more assprational than reality based. again given where he was already on his record. >> there has been so much passion on both sides of this leading into it. do you think he will approach his written opinion with a more measured tone perhaps? >> reporter: i think that's what might happen here, christy. because i've actually known him since the '90s. i covered him back in the days when he worked with ken starr in the independent counsel

investigation against the clintons which he referred to in that very, very fiery speech a week ago. and i think what we know of brett kavanaugh and the whole sweep of history is that he wants to lower the temperature even though you're exactly right that it's difficult to see that he moves at all to the left in terms off actual bottom line votes, i think he's in a position to want to instill confidence in his colleagues, the american public andfulo lawyers. that thinking was a bit behind the oped he wrote for the wall street journal where he stressed that he was independent, that he could be neutral, someone different than that man who testified the previous thursday. soi think he will be trying to

send signals with his other eight justices and a more measured approach but will that actually make any difference from where he would have been before? it's hard to know at this point. >> and a lot of people are watching very closely roe verses wade. is it vulnerable, to you believe? >> very vulnerable. because anthony kennedy was the fifth one. president trump wants it left to states, which as you know would mean many states would try to ban abortion, even though plenty would still allow a woman but it would be a patchwork across america and that's what donald trump has urged is state discretion no matter where the state wants to go. so i think that's something that

brett kavanaugh can could change in america. he could roll back roe v wade. but i thing what we're going to see in the near future is much more latitude for states to regulate the abortion rights. >> senator murkowski also said it's so critical we have that public confidence in at least one of our three branchs of government. do we know how the current justices areredy to receive kavanaugh? >> all of the current justices worry about public confidence in the institution. chief justice john roberts speaks about it all the time. he has said he fears any justice who emerges from the kind of polarized, political process we had even before brett kavanaugh

could be seen as a political justice, a politician on the bench, rather than a neutral umpire, which is the phrase the chief has often used. i think not a single one of them, even those who have good friendships with brett kavanaugh like what's happened here. they don't like the very harsh spotlight it's shown on the supreme court and its people. i think they'll receive him and at least try to put up a good front. i don't think there would be any public light that would cast light on this whole ordeal. but you're not quite sure until you start to puck up signals what sorts of tensions will be there. there's been tensions with other new justices. but bottom line they try to close ranks against people like us in the media and critics.

>> and real quickly. who becomes the moderate voice here? >> on paper the justice who is in the center unterms of being the median justice would be chief justice john roberts who is already in a powerful position as chief. but who's no anthony kennedy. his volt will not be in flay ruth bader ginsburg the way anthony kennedy had been. but i think he's so invested in this court appearing neutral that you might see him inch a little to the left just to have a little bit more consensus on what is a deeply, deeply divided bench. >> always appreciate fwlour site. . >> president trump has stayed silent so far about the pending

confirmation of brett kavanaugh. but what will he say to his supporters in kansas now that his supreme court justice is hours away from confirmation. does she regret coming forward? her lawyers are speaking with cnn. what does it take to make digital transformation actually happen? it takes dell technologies, a family of seven technology leaders working behind the scenes to make the impossible... reality. we're helping to give cars the power to read your mind from anywhere... and we're helping up to 40% of the nation's donated blood supply to be redirected to the people that need it most. magic can't make digital transformation happen... but we can.

see, we said we're going to take a slide because it's so beautiful. >> this is a albuquerque international balloon festival. i've always wanted to go. in october. i won't be for this weebd. >> but it is a sight to see. we thought you would like to see something pretty and glowing and

happy. >> the launch of the seven-day festival where they will tlurch synchronized music and this starts the opening ceremonies. absolutely beautiful. >> so president trump is likely going to be in kansas when his second nominee to the nation's highest court is confirmed. he does plan a campaign ral ea in topeka where his highly unusual silence on the events of the last day and night are expected to be shattered. cnn's joe john is at the white house. good to see you this morning. what are you learning? >> what we know obviously is there will be that final vote today on the nomination, which is a very big deal at the white house. the president has been relatively silent. we haven't heard a lot on

twitter except congratulations on the senate deciding to move to this final vote. we know the president hasn't always helped himself when talking publicly about this nomnaugz. he was widely slammed for mocking dr. ford in a speech. so all of those reasons taken into consideration, what we know is they're paying close attention. he was in the oval office preparing to sign the reauthorization of the federal aviation administration's reauthorization bill and he asked those members of congress if he aunted to sit and watch that very pivotal speech by the senator from maine, susan collins, as she took the floor to announce her reasons why she would vote for the nomination. all indications are putting republicans over the top.

flrs president has been described in a good mood. as we move forward. and it's not just that. it's some of the other things that have been going. the president is said to be very gratified by the fact we're seeing some of the lowest jobless numbers in something like 49 years. he's made some headway on his promise to change nafta. but the thing for many of his supporters is getting another conservative jurist on the supreme court. it's also important to say there's been a lot of taeactivi and energy put into the other side who have concentrated on this nomination and protested against it here. we expect more of that today. all of this in anticipation moving down to the midterm elections in november and that is of course where it all

counts. >> we appreciate it. thank you. >> amy, welcome back. and how much of this. he's going to get brett kavanaugh at the start of the week he announced canada joining this new multilateral trade deal. unemployment down at a 49-year low. how much republicans will transfer to them? >> i think they thing this is very helpful. there were a lot of people saying what is he doing? he's really hurting us but this comes at the right moment forthem. they think this will translate into a lot of votes. if he abandoned brett kavanaugh, moved away from him, i think lot

of republicans felt that would come at a great cost to the republican party, a month before the midterms. this coupled with the fact he got two justices in, coupled with with the fact the economy is going well. this is something they can campaign on in the days ahead. >> so does this loss then hurt democrats? >> i think that a lot of tms i've spoken to this week say we may have lost the battle but won the war. they are essentially talking their anger and whether the kaungsernation from the last couple of weeks and applying it to november and touting high fund raising. they're saying the energy right now is behind them. that lot of people learned their lesson from 2016 and that every vote matters. and so i think a lot of this is going to help them. they think it's going to lead to

the blue wave we've heard so much about. >> so they still have confidence in the blue wave. are there any indications that the campaigning for the court. we saw judge kavanaugh do this unprecedented television interview. we saw him just yesterday with the oped try clean up some of the things he said on september 27th when he testified. that this is the new play book and that senators are resigned to that? >> i think there is a case for that. i think a lot of people are saying that there are campaign ads that are going to be remade, like the flake moment in the elvaurt.

it helped giver mannequins and joe manchin cover. a lot of democrats said we got played. we got rolled. because we should have gone for a vote last week when the vote was uncertain. we could have called mitch mcconnell on his bluff. what the investigation did was allow for susan collins and joe manchin say we could go forward. so i think there's a lot of anguish going on within the democratic party to figure out what happened and why they didn't have a strong enough message in the first place. >> democrats have held the floor overnight. several senators delivering speeches. we saw senator of oregon, tina smith of minnesota a few moments ago. kirsten jill brand of new york. and we heard from senator

collins, amy, in her remarks yesterday. she just blasted the process. we 3rd same thing from senator graham and several others on either side of the aisle. is there any change that's coming? are they going to return to the 60-vote threshhold so they don't get the party line vote? >> i don't think there's much change coming. the biggest moments of the last week was on "60 minutes" when you talk about senator flake talk about how rooted the parties are and there is no movement and that he probably wouldn't have agreed to this investigation anyway if he was up for reelication. and i thing this is a problem. i've from lot of people saying this is why we should have term limits for law makers.

it does give them a chance to vote their conscience and not along party lines. it's a divided nation. it's now a divided congress. it will be a divided court. it's reflective of where we are right now in a political system. >> good to have you. >> thank you. still to come the first lady rounds out her first major solo trip abroad. we liberty mutual saved us almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance.

. 30 minutes past the hour and you're up early on a saturday and we appreciate it. first laudy milania trump is on the last leg of her african tour. she's in egypt. this is part of the first lady's be best campaign, focuses on children's health care. >> kate, thank you so much. help us understand what's happing there today. >> reporter: sure. it's actually four countries in six days and we just touched down in cairo, egypt. she spent some time at the palace. then she moved on where she did

a meet and greet with u.s. embassy staff. there are about 50 or so americans working at the embassy here. 2,000 staff total. but certainly an interesting few days. yesterday we were in kenya. the day before that, malawi. a bit of a whirlwind. the first lady did take a safari yesterday in kenya and i guess there was controversy brewing about her outfit. she wore a white hip-hop style safari helmet. which looked very chic but some people took offense to it because it wasn't necessarily good memories. some people are calling it a misstep. but besides that she had a morning filled with with laughter and smiles feeding baby

elephants at a wildlife preserve. this is certainly the most relaxed and enjoyable moment for the first lady in terms of having fun while the elephant bumped into her. she had to steady herself and there's a rlot of laughter. >> do we know why the first lady chose africa for her first lady tour? >> reporter: her staff says long ago around the inauguration decided when she made her first solo trip, it would be to africa, given what the president's comments were about some of the countries here and referred to them in a derogatory manner. it is an interesting choice. she's working with usaid, a book donation.

a number of countries are assisted by usaid. and they received a bunch of cuts from the trumped a mun stragz. so again an interesting partnership. but she's also talking about be best and focusing on children. we've been to a number of schools, children's hospitals, orphanage yesterday. so thinking about the well being of children in africa. >> so kate, real quick ela, has she been asked about any of her husband's policies on this trip? >> well, you know that's a great question. we have not had a real chance to have a press conference on the record. flrs were brief remarks she made in guiana, the very solemn former slave castle where slaves

would be cast off into ships. other than we have not had the chance to talk to her. and i think we're hopeful, otherwise the eare marks have been to the embassy and to the country. talking about howbate forful she is to be there. very much related to just her travel and not what's happing at home. >> you've been watching this from the get go, i'm sure. her testimony has been ridiculed but christine blasey ford's lawyers say she has no regrets about coming forward with her sex allegations against brett kavanaugh.

assaulting her in high school. >> ford's sister in law says the testimony at the senate hearing and president trump's rea to it at a rally has caused dr. ford more pain. >> i think when her sexual trauma involved being laughed at and helpless and she's been laughed a by the president of the united states with people applauding and laughing. so i can only imagine she is feeling a whole host of intolerable, terrible feelings right now. >> dr. ford's lawyers say she has no regrets about testifying. they're blasting senators about false claims on the fbi investigation. >> have you heard any regrets from her about coming out the way she did? >> i don't think she has any

regrets. i think she feels like she did the right thing and provide it to the committee so they could make the best decision possible. i don't think she has any refwrets. >> know eing what you know now, could this have been done in a different way with regard to senator feinstein, the fact that she didn't tell anybody. she says she was abiding by the wishes of professor ford. could it and should it have been done differently? >> i can't speak the pross. what i can speak to is when viktsms of sexual assault and violence go to their congress people, to their senators and they ask for their information be to kept confidential, i think that's a request that needs to be requested. victims get to choose when and

how and when it their allegations get public. if we look at things that went wrong, there are many. but i think senator feinstein respected the wishes of her constituents and that was the right thing to do. >> and does professor ford feel that way? >> oh absolutely. >> the crowd, who were big trump supporters applauded. for did she see that? >> she did. it was very hurtful taz would be to any woman, any survivor who had the curage to come forward only to be mockd and belittled by anyone but certainly by the president oof the united states. it was upsetting. it was hurtful.

>> the fact that during her testimony, she told the committee she wasn't clear that there was an offer to you, her legal team from the committee to have the committee fly out to california and have a private conversation with her, interview with her as opposed to flying her for a public hearing. is that true? >> no. we, as her counsel, informed her of all options. we showed her all of the correspondence and what they were offering was to send staffers from california to interview her. she wanted to speak to the committee mmbers themselves and i think what you saw in the hearing was she got a little confused and thought senator grassley was suggesting he himself would come to california, which is not what he offered at all.

>> she has lawyers, you two, who are democrats, who wanted to have a public spectacle. >> that is such a ludicrous accusation. it's such a distraction and deflection. our client was advised of every single option, sheau every communication. she's a smart woman. she wanted to speak to members of the senate judic yare, not on his staff. >> would professor ford like impeachment proceedings to begin? >> she has not asked for anything of the sort. what she did was to come forbward and testify and agree to cooperate with any investigation by the fbi and that's what she saw to do

>> so she does not want him to be impeached? >> no. >> and still ahead the chief of interpol is missing this morning. and now report that his wife is getting threats. when did you see the sign? when i needed to jumpstart sales. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage. and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com.

>> in the last few moments we've heard from the french interior ministry which is saying that mr. meng's wife still in france has been subjected to threats over the telephone and social media. no news as to where those threats are coming from. now she says her husband was last seen at the end of september, the south china post says he was taken away when he arrived somewhere in china and now being subjected to an administrative investigation by the chinese comwrnest party but no official confirmation on this at all. indeed broadcasting the news of his disappearance something that

the government does not want to see. and we have video of our own broadcast when his name and photograph came up during the broadcast earlier today. and as a consequence, there's a great mystery surrounding his wrblts. and possibly has been brought back for consul tagsz. no kind of confirmation at all as to where he's gone or why he has disappeared. there is speculation he may be subjected to some kind of intearigation similar to the famous actress who disappeared for three months and being released but only payments of alleged back tax.

but there's no official line at all. >> glad that you are on to it help us understand what's happing. thesic secretary of state making a stop on the way to -- with shinzo abe, after that he will head to pyongyang where he'll meet with north korean leader, kim jong-un. they're likely to discuss denuclearization and possibly a another summit between kim and trump. we'll follow all the developments. we'll get you the latest from washington. your insurance rates skyrocket after a scratch so small
