>> i'm wolf blitzer and it's 1:00 p.m. here in washington. we expect to hear directly from the president. he is speaking today in a law enforcement event in orlando, florida. today's speech comes after what may have been his best week at least yet for the president as he saw his controversial choice for the u.s. supreme court, judge brett kavanaugh successfully confirmed.

our white house reporter is joining us from orlando. the president's appearance is not are inially a campaign stop, but it doesn't seem to have that kind of feel anyway. >> wolf, the president has things on his mind other than law enforcement as he heads to give the speech to the gathering of police chiefs here, leaving the white house today. he was talking about kavanaugh and the mid-terms and going after democrats and trump has spent the past couple of days basking in the success of that narrow confirmation vote that put kavanaugh on the supreme court. he is showing no signs of switching gears and starting at the rally, trump previewed a central theme heading into the mid-terms using that example of the kavanaugh confirmation battle as a way to motivate republican voter who is may be complacent in television. we heard the same argument that the supreme court exposes democrats as being too extreme.

it's part of the effort from trump and his allies to try to compete with the democratic enthusiasm gap. democrats have enjoyed this enthusiasm for months now and this event is not political. it will be the first of several chances trump has to extend the victory lap. he has rallies on the books in pennsylvania, ohio and kentucky on saturday. lots of opportunities to keep up the rhetoric, possibly today included. >> the international association of chiefs of police representing about 30,000 law enforcement officials and 150 countries. it's an important meeting indeed. what do we know about the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he traveled with the president on that flight from here in washington to where you are in orlando. >> wolf, you know the conversation lasted about 30

minutes aboard air force one. there were other aides in and out of the cabin when the conversation was taking place. by all indications it was a positive conversation. he had said he had no prans to fire the deputy attorney general this morning. he had been advised and expressed an interest in not firing rosenstein before the kavanaugh confirmation was completed. that's done now, but no appetite that could blunt the momentum they think they have into the mid-terms. it's not likely we will see a change at this moment, wolf? >> we will have coverage of the president's remarks before leaving the white house. the president spoke about justice brett kavanaugh and the effect that his confirmation will have on the upsoming mid-terms in about four weeks. >> i think you are going to see

a lot of things happen on november 6th that would not have happened before. the american public has seen the charade. has seen this dishonesty by the democrats. there was no corroboration of any kind and went through seven fbi investigations. had nothing to do with any of this stuff. you had the last one. take a look at the last one. the things they said about him. i don't think he ever heard of the word. it was all made up. it was fabricate and it's a disgrace. i think it's going to really show you something come november 6th. >> let's get analysis. joining us now, the white house correspondent for reuters. shannon petty piece for bloomberg news. this congressional reporter for "the washington post." something he will be bragging about for days and days a second

supreme court justice, someone he nominated. >> in rapid succession. this is a double-edged sword of his nomination. it's going to fire up democrats who are really, really angry about the fact that they got him to the court and a victory lap for republicans who are going need to basically feel like they have to get a boost from this and protect his nomination or going to be happy that they won. who wins out is going to be a question of -- it's the turn out question. the classic turn out question in one figure right now on the supreme court. what trump said could have an effect. he is going to be boosting the campaign trail and we have brett kavanaugh. if he goes too far though in the rhetoric of this was a political stunt and made up, he could lose the suburban female voters. you heard the republicans say yeah, we support brett kavanaugh

and we find christine blasey ford believable, but that's not what the president is saying. >> he said it was a hoax ask a disgrace. he is riding high right now. a second supreme court justice confirm and 3.7 percent per unemployment and a u.s.-mexico-canada trade agreement. he has successes. >> coming at just the right time as he is about to barn storm the country. he is asking his advisers to get out there to campaign. i think he is also getting at yes, this will impact both parties and jazz up both parties. one party, the republicans were worried about lagging in enthusiasm and democrats were on fire. getting a boost was critical and that's why this was important. it's also because of how different the landscape is in the battle of the control of the

senate and the house. if the president dismisses the allegations against ford or seems dismissive of women and doing so, that could really adversely impact his party's chances in the ballot for the house. so many districts are taking place in suburban areas. where it may save them is saving the senate. so many are playing out in keep countries. >> she not mincing words saying the attack against drau was a disgrace and a hoax and a witch hunt. there was no evidence whatsoever. >> it feels like the republican party has given up on suburban women. the numbers were so terrible, particularly among superb an women conservatives, this really kind of adds to a bigger issue. there is the sense that there is enough white males they can turn out. when i talked to people close to

the white house and people in the white house, are you concerned about what this does to women, they are not concerned. they actually say they see support from women on this kavanaugh issue, particularly in that core base. another thing i hear from them is they know there is a lot that can happen between now and election day. to give you a sense of how long a month is in news years t has been about a month since the "new york times" op-ed. the senior official. is anyone talking about that and anyone remember that? that's how we could feel on this issue about attacks on women come election day. >> a lot of republicans feel they have momentum going into these mid-terms. democrats assumed they will win the house of representatives. is it a done deal? >> not a done deal. there is confidence on the side of republicans. not only donald trump who is talking optimistically about the chances the party has in the

mid-terms. it's mitch mcconnell saying what the democrats just did is what we were not able to do on our own. energize our base. the republicans are confident and the kavanaugh issue is playing both ways for both parties. the republicans feel it's going to help them in the senate. >> the fact that rod rosenstein flew down to orlando, the deputy attorney general who only a few days ago seemed to be ready to be pushed out because of the "new york times" story and suggesting he thought about the 25th amendment to replace the president and thought about wearing a wire to hear what the president said. the president is saying very nice things about him. >> all of a sudden is right. he was not happy with the story about rosenstein, but the whole story got pushed aside because of the controversy and it's showing strategy on the part of the president and the white house to not make rosenstein a

big deal. >> if the president gets rid of rosenstein, that is playing into it. any of his critics, not just democrats. the advice has been given to the president the whole way. let it run its course and hope it doesn't tick on stick on you. he is supposed to be on the hill and he will get grilled by the closest allies of the president. >> is it going to be open or closed? >> everything behind closed doors these days. we also get things trickling out and that may fuel the next cycle of what the republicans or the period decide to do. >> i was going to say, our reporting indicates that he is safe until the mid-terms. after that, it is widely assumed he will resign. if sessions is replaced and you have an attorney general, you can keep rod rosenstein or let the new attorney general put his own deputy in place. i don't think rosenstein is

going anywhere. it was lucky that trump was at the un when the story came out. he was very distracted and it gave time for the temperatures to go down. >> he checked it without it being this come to the white house and he talk and he was happy with them. >> running for the senate seat against bill bill nelson who will be with the president today in orlando. is that good for his chances of beating senator nelson or bad to show up with the president in a complicated state like florida? >> very evenly divided state, you have a senate race right now and you did see rick scott with the president. it helps and hurts. it does a bit of both. unlike every other competitive race in the senate battle where in a red state, a democrat is

running for reelection. rick scott has not invited donald trump to campaign with him. that is not the case in montan a west virginia and indian a. there he campaigned with the republican nominee. not so for rick scott. we will see if he invites him in. >> the president addressed the same group, this international association of law enforcement chiefs. 30,000 members. he caused a controversy by saying this. listen. >> when you see these towns and thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, thrown in rough. i said please don't be too nice. plik when y like when you protect their head the way they put their head. don't hit their head and they just killed somebody. you can take the hand away, okay. >> they had to issue a statement

saying the police are very helpful even of those who are arrested. they caused a bit of a concern. i wonder what he might say today. >> that has well as the other speeches he does. virtu virtually everywhere it's a political speech. law enforcement has been one of his big issues. he sees a lot of support there and he will not shy away from talking about political issues or be it about gentleness to people who are being arrested to his supreme court nominee and places like this. >> we will have live coverage coming up. thank you very, very much. there is other important news and hurricane michael. i said hurricane michael is hitting cuba. it's a category one storm and by the time it reaches the united states, it will be stronger. let's go to jennifer gray as she

tracks the hurricane for us. when will it make landfall here in the united states and how bad is it going to be. >> this storm could make landfall around the florida panhandle. this is a fast mover. it's going to intensify quickly. the reason for that is it's entering the warm gulf of mexico where it has favorable conditions. winds of 75 miles per hour with gusts of 90. basically impacting the western coast of cuba. portions of the yucatan peninsula. it is expected to gain strength in the coming days. category two by tomorrow and possible category three making landfall along the florida panhandle from that florida-alabama border all the way through the big bend of florida as a major storm. you can see it shoots off to the north and east, causing lots of rain across the carolinas once again and could even bring quite a bit to the mid-atlantic, including d.c. something to watch there. already pulling in a lot of

moisture across the keys and the west coast of florida. the gulf waters are very warm, in the high 80s and that will help the storm intensify and we have hurricane watches and stormwatches in place and we could see an eight to 12-foot storm surge where it's making landfall in the king tides that means that the tides are the highest of the year. they are running above normal and with this storm surge and the storm coming, it's going to make those even higher. here's the five-day rain accumulation. a foot of rain or so to the east and it could pick up an additional six inches of rain and this is going to be a fast mover. it's not just going to sit there like florence did. >> let's hope for the best. we will check back with you. remember, we will be standing by to hear from the president of

the united states and live pictures from orlando as he kicks off another week on the campaign trail and builds on republicans's momentum following the victory they had among other places at the u.s. supreme court. a well-known journalist visited a saudi consulate in turkey last week and hasn't been seen since. we have new details on his disappearance and what officials are now saying. with an ingredit originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

upcoming marriage. his fiance saw him go in, but never come out. they believe he was killed in the saudi consulate, but an official said that's false and the journalist left shortly after he visited. joining us in turkey, what are you learning? it's a very disturbing story, indeed. what's the latest? >> reporter: it really is, wolf. we did hear from the turkish president a short while ago, making stronger demands of the saud odd saudis we heard in the past, putting full responsibility if they are going to them to leave the consulate about an hour or so after he

entered. they need to provide that evidence to prove their claim. turkey has been through the evidence or clues it has access to going through various security camera footage, trying to look at arrivals and departures. also requested action from the saudis. it is of course inside these walls where the mystery disappearance does appear to have unfolded. that is walls that turks do not have access to. of course a week has gone by. what they are going to uncover remains yet to be seen. turkey is also looking into the arrival of 15 saudi nationals according to a police statement issued to turkish state-run news agency where the police statement goes on to say these 15 initials arrived the same day and went to the consulate the same day he disappeared and were

there around the same time and have since. it is believed departed the country. the family in saudi arabia did release a statement saying they believe his disappearance is being politicize ed politicizedy denying his fiance is absolutely beside herself. they have many more questions than those being provided at this stage. >> the saudis can clear it up quickly. they have closer cameras around that consulate and if he walked out as they say he did, show the world the video of him walking out of the consulate. >> and that is exactly what everyone is demanding that they do. it would seem to be very straight forward, should they want to clear their names. as long as they are not

providing the footage, they appear to be the main suspects. until they are willing to do that, no one is going to be able to or they are not going to be able to validate their claims that he did in fact walk out. that's so bizarre at this stage. they make the claim he left and would not provide any evidence to support it when it seems to be quite straight forward. >> a lot of focus on the 15 saudi diplomats that arrived and quickly left as well. a very disturbing development indeed. the noble opinions and our hearts go out to you and everyone who knows the saudi journalist. what are you hearing from his family and his fiance. >> sure.

to make clear, it was one of his children who has other children as well. that's to express the utter pain and disbelief. regarding the children and the family, they are writing the columns and he was asked are you sure you want to do this, he rarely expressed concern for his own safety. he would talk about the pressures on his family and the pressures on whether the travel restrictions and the pressures on his family and that weighed on him very, very much. those are coming from them.

he was a fantastic writer. even when they were critical of the crown prince, he took on the advisory role and he wanted the crown prince to listen to advice to steer the country in the right way and say go visit detroit and learn how a city is reforming itself and take the lessons back to saudi arabia. again, he was close to the saudi royal family and has been a journalist for 30 years. this is someone who loved this country and wanted the best for saudi arabia. you know him. he never wanted to be labeled as a political figure.

so share a bit more about this and how he worked closely about this in "the washington post." >> when the crack downs are happening and business people in social media figures, he was quote and he is close to people in washington. he was quoted in stories and why not have him write from his perspective what was happening and after a long period, he came out and said i left saudi arabia because he said it wasn't always like this. they are taking a turn that is very dark. we wrote on everything from the

role in the war and what they could learn from black panthers. we tried to shed light on saudi arabia. the idea that someone who was trying to explain not just in english, but arabic. he was passionate about writing in arabic. the idea that someone might want to silence him goes to show how important his work was and elevated his profile even more. >> quickly, i know you appealed to the u.s. government and the trump administration that has good relations for help. there has been a silence from the administration. what are you hearing from behind the scenes? for one thing, i want to commend those in congress for those who have made statements about what

happened with the case in calling for investigations and that pressure and that vocalization is coming from congress. ideally to have one voice and members of the trump administration speak out would be the best case scenario. for the good of all journalists and all who live in fear of these authoritarian and intolerant regimes, now is the time for the united states to step up. >> i would linike to see what jared kushner who has excellent relations with the crown prince is doing to find out about this missing journalist. thank you so much. good luck to the family and all your family at "the washington

post." you are deeply concerned, understandably so. we hope he is alive and found soon. thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> we will show you live pictures from orlando. you see the president's deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein who traveled with the president from washington to orlando. the president getting ready to speak before this group. we will have live coverage. stay with us. your insurance rates skyrocket after a scratch so small

live pictures coming in from orlando. speaking at the annual convention of the international association of police chiefs. we will take you there live once the event begins. just moments ago, the president did speak with a local orlando television station. cnn affiliate ftv and addressed the question of the upcoming mid-term elections. >> everyone wants my endorsement. i was 48-1 for the primaries and we'll do equally or almost as well. that's a good number to beat, but almost as well on the general elections. >> a democrat from tennessee, thanks so much for joining us. >> nice to be with you. >> looking back. you are a straight shooter usually. do you think democrats handled

the fight the right way as far as the supreme court nominee. what would you have done differently, if anything? >> i think you could have gotten dr. ford's testimony out sooner. it would have helped. less time for the republicans just to force it down. to do the curtailed fbi investigation which was just a sham. i think the democrats did a great job. they fought and had the information they got in my opinion. there were several stars on the senate side. the democratic side. the republicans were kind of questioning your history of government. they were so despicable in the way they treated dr. ford. none had the guts to question her. and then just the way they -- the bottom line is they considered what guys do when they are young. they get drunk and assault women. that was cool. that's a long time ago.

let's not worry about it. they came up with lies and excuses to say nobody was corroborated. nobody witnessed. the only witness would have been an aider and a better who was guilty as well. people involved in the crime don't come forward and say they did it. the judge lied and what happens in george town prep stays in georgetown prep. what susan collins said was dr. ford lied. she didn't lie. i feel very sorry for she and her family and what they have been through. what the republicans have called her a liar. >> the democratic voters were enthused going in, but we are seeing a lot of increased enthusiasm among republicans in your home state of tennessee as a result of the kavanaugh

confirmation. the justs a appointed nominated by the president. does that worry you right now? you think you could be losing some of the momentum going into the election. >> for does concern me, but i think there was a blue wave that was coming. the blue wave is still going to be there and it may be even stronger. there is obviously more republicans coming out because they got their backbone up about their beer drinking loving good ol' boy from georgetown prep being questioned about his past history of sexual abuse and his lies about what ffff meant and boof and triangle. some of them will make it more difficult for phil running against marcia blackman. he said he would have voted for him if he was there. i think i would stay out of it,

but he would balance the wave which was about 60-40 in favor of kavanaugh. >> we are showing viewers for the governor, rick scott introducing the president of the united states. he is running to try to become the next u.s. senator against bill nelson, the incumbent democrat. what does it look like right now? there is a competitive senate race. >> he's a competent man and a moderate. to be honest, he is not nearly as liberal and progressive as i am or as i would like him to be. we had our differences in the past. i served with marcia blackburn and but for her vote which was a signature accomplishment, she did zero good. her career in congress has been equally as non-noteworthy. she is good on jumping in front of a parade and putting on her leading the parade.

that's not what you need. tennessee is a great senators over the years. he could be a senator like howard baker and like sasser who become leaders in the senate and judge issues based on the issues not based on party all the time. >> for democrats do become the majority, what's going to be your main priority? >> we will be concerned about health care and jobs and cleaning up the corruption. i suspect i will be on the transportation committees as well. the abuses of the you will trump administration of which there are thousands. we will figure out what we can about protecting mueller and get information concerning his involvement with the russians. and the emoluments clause. senator blumenthal is the lead person. go forward to say he violated

the constitution by not coming to congress and ask for permission. he is taking money from chinese, saudis and turks at trump hotel and trump tower. his whole life has been a fraud. the "new york times" ran their piece yesterday. it has been a lifetime journey. paul simon could write to you about donald trump's story. it is full of fraud and that's what we will have to investigation. on transportation, we will look at a jobs bill and a transportation infrastructure bill. >> thanks for joining us. >> you're welcome, wolf. >> stand by to hear from president trump. he is hitting the campaign trail with a bunch of sharp messages against the democrats and being introduced by the florida governor, rick scott. our coverage is coming up. welcome to the place...

the president just started speaking before the international association of chiefs of police, the annual convention they have in orlando. let's listen in. >> the governor is your biggest fan. so thank you very much. also another one of your big fans, i will tell you that, is attorney general pam bondy with us today. thank you, pam. thank you very much. wherever you may be. she is in this big room someplace. thank you.

incredible woman. thank you as well to our deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein. the press wants to know what did you talk about? we had a very good talk, i will say. that became a very big story actually. we had a good talk. as hurricane michael nears landfall, we are working with state and local officials in florida to take all are in precautions and we urge all residents to be prepared and to heed local officials. i told rick scott, we are ready for you. we have already briefed fema and fema is getting prepare and it looks like a big one. can you believe it? it looks like another big one. we handled them well. we handle them very well. that includes the one that just left us in florida. never ends, but we are all prepare and hopefully it won't

be as bad as it's looking. it looked a couple of days ago like it was not going to be much and now it's looking like a very big one. we are prepared and good luck. today i want to extend my special thanks to orlando chief john menna and the police department for posting us in this great city. john. where is john? thank you, john. safe city, too. thank you very much. i also want to thank the board of iacp and congratulations to our incoming president. where is the chief? chief? i have a lot of respect for the chief. that means i have to be here next year?

is that right? looking like that, right? anything i can do, i'll do. very importantly. i want to recognize our law enforcement warns from around the world who traveled here to share their experience and strengthen the final cooperation and we keep deeply value your friendship and partnership. thank you very much for being here. thank you. this year we proudly celebrate the 125th anniversary of the international association of chiefs of police. great group. today i stand benefit you as president of the united states to tell you my administration will always honor, cherish and support the men and women in

blue and we are proud to do it. do it. [ cheers and applause ] >> working together, we have achieved extraordinary progress in the fight against violent crime. we understand that reducing crime begins with respecting law enforcement. for too many years, we have watched politicians escalate political attacks on our courageous police officers. and i've never seen it more than over the last few years. it's disgraceful. politicians who spread this dangerous anti-police sentiment make life easier for criminals and more dangerous for law-abiding citizens. [ applause ]

and they also make it more dangerous for police, and it must stop and it must stop now. before i took office, less than two years ago, our nation was experiencing an historic surge in violent crime. in 2015, 2016, additional 128,000 violent crimes were committed nationwide compared to the two previous years. that's a tremendous number of additional crime. over the same period, we witnessed the steepest two-year consecutive increase in murders in nearly half a century. but we are turning that tide around very rapidly, as you all know in this room. we are taking back our streets from drug lords, gangs, and crimes. we are being tough, we're being

smart. by the end of this year, murders in major cities are estimated to drop by close to 10% from their levels in 2016. and i have directed the attorney general's office to immediately go to the great city of chicago to help straighten out the terrible shooting wave. i'm going to straighten it out and straighten it out fast. there's no reason for what's going on there. [ applause ] i've told them to work with local authorities to try to change the terrible deal the city of chicago entered into with aclu, which ties law enforcement's hands and to strongly consider stop and frisk. it works and it was meant for problems like chicago. it was meant for it. stop and frisk.

and rudy giuliani, when he was mayor of new york city, had a very strong program of stop and frisk, and it went from an unacceptably dangerous city to one of the safest city in the country and i think the safest big city in the country, so it works. got to be properly applied, but stop and frisk works. the crime spree is a terrible blight on that city and we'll do everything possible to get it done. i know the law enforcement people in chicago and i know how good they are, they could solve the problem if they were simply allowed to do their job and do their job properly. and that's what they wanted to do. so, chicago, we're going to start working with you, as of today.

thank you. in the fiscal year 2018, my administration brought charges against more federal firearm defendants and more violent criminals than ever before in the history of our country. and to help former inmates become law-abiding and productive members of society, we are also working on a prison reform bill. very, very big and comprehensive one. and the best thing that could happen, i think we've already done, we have record numbers of jobs right now in the united states. there's never been a time where more people are working in our country than right now. and our employment numbers in almost every category are at record lows. they are record lows, african-american, best in history. asian american, best in history. hispanic american, best in history. we are doing incredibly well as

an economy and that's a great thing, when you talk about people coming out of prison, unable to get a job. totally unable to get a job. it's a hopeless situation. now they're getting jobs, to a certain extent and to a large extent, because we're doing so well, and employers are forced to take people that they maybe wouldn't have done, and some of those employers call me and get back to me, and they say, mr. president, it's amazing how good these people are. and not all of them, not all of anybody, or any category is going to be great -- >> we're going to continue to monitor the president. he's speaking before the international association of chiefs of police, their annual convention in orlando, florida. much more on this and all the day's important news coming up. our coverage will continue right after this break. brook bald we baldwin is standi. . allstate is adapting. with drones to assess home damage sooner. and if a flying object damages your car,

you can snap a photo and get your claim processed in hours, not days. plus, allstate can pay your claim in minutes. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

minutes can mean the difference between life and death. proposition 11 saves lives by ensuring medical care is not delayed in an emergency. proposition 11 establishes into law the longstanding industry practice of paying emts and paramedics to remain on-call during breaks and requires they receive fema level training and active shooters and natural disasters. vote yes on 11 to ensure 911 emergency care is there when you or your love one need it. land of blue jeans. muscle cars. bald eagles. and burgers. and while muscle cars lost their muscle. blue jeans got all skinny on us... i can't feel my legs. and bald eagles got, well, balder... oh no, is it obvious? ...no way are we giving up on burgers. that's why i created the all-american ribeye burger, made with 100% ribeye beef, fresh spring mix, and provolone cheese on a potato bun. that's a good looking burger. ribeye burgers are back, america.

try them today. hi, there. i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. thank you so much for being with me as justice brett kavanaugh takes his seat on the u.s. supreme court. the president is calling the accusations against the now-justice a quote hoax. a hoax. despite the fact that trump called on kavanaugh's accusers, called christine blasey ford a credible person and a fine woman. and as the president takes aim for democrats, for what he says what they did to kavanaugh, he is also slamming them for what may be ahead. there is talk of impeaching the new supreme court justice if democrats take control of the house come midterms. election day is now a month away. here
