1:00 pm
clean as the driven snow. maybe not quite. >> okay. remember if you have your own hit or miss tweet it to us. thank you to my panel and all of you for watching. we hope to see you right here next week. >> we begin with the official announcement that supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh accuser, doctor christine blasey ford will testify in open hearing before the senate judiciary committee thursday morning at 10:00 eastern time ford claims kavanaugh sexually assaulted her during a high school house party in early 1980s. he denies the allegations. hello everyone and welcome to brandon our inside "america's news headquarters", i am arthel neville. eric: hello everyone i am eric shawn. the white house standing by
1:01 pm
judge kavanaugh was also expected to testify on thursday about doctor ford's allegations against him. that is others who reportedly were at the party said it they do not remember anything about it and cannot corroborate the account of doctor ford. lindsey graham says the testimony of ford will not likely affect his vote. >> you cannot bring in a criminal court you couldn't even get a warrant. what am i supposed to do? go ahead and ruin this guys life based on accusation, i don't know when it happened or where it happened. and everybody named in regard to being there said it did not happen. i am just being honest. unless there is something more, i'm not going to run his life over this. eric: garrett tenney standing by on these late breaking development. >> we have important details this past hour when the committee made the announcement. it will be an open hearing thursday at 10 am and christine blasey ford will testify first followed by judge kavanaugh. it is important because it was
1:02 pm
an issue that the two sides were divided on. there is still a lot we do not know about the hearing. how many rounds it will be, how long and who will do the questioning? the senate judiciary committee has offered every female outside attorney to the question but the team of doctor ford wants the senators to be the ones doing it.the senate judiciary committee has already heard from four other people that doctor ford said is that the party and all of them say they have no memory of the sticky place. lawmakers are trying to figure with the standard of proof is in the case. they conceded they really do not have any way of knowing the truth of what happened 36 years ago. >> in terms of direct evidence, probably not. the only alleged witness, a judge said he court has no recognition of what occurred.
1:03 pm
that evening. and republicans refused even put him on the witness list. so we could have asked any questions about what he remembers.eric: at this point the republican leaders on the committee have said it is not likely there will be any other outside witnesses apart from judge kavanaugh. the others say they believe her story and that the burden is on judge kavanaugh to convince them otherwise. >> i believe her. let's put it that way. there's credibility to her story and i'm going to make sure that the democrats at least want to make sure that she is able to come forward and there's nothing for her to gain by even coming forward with this. reporter: it is worth noting goal is what happens at the hearings that his confirmation hearing for the process has already been delayed to the extent that it appears it is likely republicans will not be able to reach their goal of having him confirmed and ceded by the supreme court next term
1:04 pm
which begins october 1. eric: thank you so much. arthel: on mored new developers we have francesca chambers, a white house correspondent at the daily mail. francesca good to see you. first i want to start with information i'm just getting in from mike emanuel. our capitol hill reporter. an anchor at fox news. this is a letter to president trump from senator schumer and feinstein requesting president trump to direct the fbi to immediately and thoroughly investigate and provide to -- information to the senate. reporter: it's been a question the entire time that senators have had in others. which is why the president did not direct the fbi to start an investigation. the president could do that if he wanted to. and he said earlier this week that he does not want the fbi to investigate only because the fbi doesn't want to investigate the fbi having said that this
1:05 pm
is not the sort of thing that it would look into with its job is to make sure that they are coming from a different standpoint. but when it was a to hell with clarence thomas asking why the fbi cannot investigate now. arthel: this was a busy day because he had three attorneys for doctor ford on a morning call with the senate judiciary committee staff members. during the call, the attorneys deborah katz, lisa banks and michael -- that allegedly on the books at least at this point. what is likely to happen between now and then? not only inside the senate judiciary committee, we talk about both parties.but as well as judge kavanaugh and doctor ford's respective teams. >> it is hard to say what can happen between now and thursday because things change so many times this week. originally it would be monday then there was talk about
1:06 pm
wednesday but now it seems that both sides have agreed that thursday will be the day that this testimony will occur. of course, between now and then, like i said, a lot can happen. with the president who was in new york this week at the united nations, by moving this away from that timeframe it will help the white house be able to focus on the issues that it wants to be able to focus on from a local stage and not have to focus on this dispute between brett kavanaugh and whether or not he will make it to the supreme court. arthel: a letter pressing issues in the world stage indeed. the committee will not subpoena mark judge, who was allegedly in the room of the alleged crime or assault. and committee members at this point are not saying who will be asking the questions. if it will be the senators themselves, which they would normally do or if there will be a staff attorney or independent attorney.francesca, what do you think -- i hate let me stop
1:07 pm
for a second because this has become very political but it is a very personal incident and situation here on both sides. that said, what is the political benefit or liability for either scenario that i just pointed out? >> well, the liability at this point for republicans is that they could be seen as being too aggressive towards christine blasey ford when she takes a stand and testifies. at this point we believe it will be before brett kavanaugh and it could present a major liability for them. particularly with midterm elections so close and that is something that the white house is absolutely considering and democrats too. democrats believe that they can push it off long enough they will not be a vote on capital before midterms.if democrats take control of the senate then they can potentially force the president to put someone else forward instead of brett kavanaugh who they feel might
1:08 pm
align more with their beliefs. of course republicans for the same reason would like to take a vote for the midterms, before the october 1 date so they are not forced anyway into that position. arthel: you're doing a great job swinging along with me. there is a commodity vote, that is not happening. will likely push a confirmation vote on the floor beyond the date which is the start of the supreme court term he will this cause a stink and if so, who will be raising concerns here? >> is tricky because they often campaign in the month of october. when they are up for reelection. mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader, has already taken that off the table. he says the senate will stay section. but there will be a reduced
1:09 pm
schedule. a lot of lawmakers are looking to get back to the district including republicans. in order to be able to campaign. so it makes a vote complex for a number reasons. arthel: francesca chambers, so good to see you. thank you very much. >> good to be here. eric: the president's allies asking them to hold off. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein could have a negative impact on supreme court nominee kavanaugh process and nominations. the neocons reported on friday after the president fired james comey last year, rosenstein suggested secretly recording this talks with the president and perhaps using the 25th amendment to try and remove him as unfit for office. rosenstein has disputed and denied the report calling it untruthful. here's the house intel chairman republican congressman devin nunes. he spoke to them whether or not he thinks rosenstein should stay or go. >> the answer i think is no.
1:10 pm
for now. >> rod rosenstein should have a day in court however, if rosenstein really did talk about wearing a wire that for sure he should be fired. eric: ellison barber now has more on all of this from near the president's golf club in new jersey.reporter: we are finally here from the president on this. he says that this is a sad situation and something he thinks should be looked at. >> he was hired by jeff sessions. i was not involved in that process because you know they go out and get their own deputies and jeff sessions hired him. we are looking at it geraldo, it's very early, various reports have been coming out. and we will make a determination and i'm sure that it will be very early on but it
1:11 pm
is certainly a very sad story. reporter: there has been a lot where he reportedly talked about wearing a wire and invoking the 25th amendment. he's not denying that these are said but fox and other media outlets have said that the comments were made sarcastically. the new york times a standing by its reporting. they say the story is based on months of reporting and quote - the doj claimed rosenstein was sarcastic when he suggested he wear a wire on trump is not supported by our reporting. rosenstein says the times report is factually incorrect. the deputy attorney general oversees a special counsel russia probe. some say the report could be used to justify firing mr. rosenstein. democrats like senator chuck schumer say that cannot happen. senator schumer says it would
1:12 pm
be corrupt. others say if it true it would press be appropriate for rosenstein to lose his job. but they are same right now they should really just wait and see. the "washington post" reports of president trump told several people on friday and saturday that he does not plan to fire the deputy attorney general. eric: thank you so much. arthel: this week nick city facing a security challenge of epic proportions as president trump and other world leaders arrive for the united nations general assembly. the state department diplomatic security service calls it their super bowl. a look at the preparations. jackie heinrich is live at the un. reporter: hi, arthel! security kicking up a notch as
1:13 pm
the president makes his way here. although there is no credible threat law enforcement is working to protect dignitaries and the public from dangers like poison, drones and even hacking. >> the diplomatic security service calls at their super bowl pair the largest effort each year. when law enforcement and the state department protect world dignitaries as they descend on new york for the united nations general assembly. >> we seem right now is the culmination of nine months of planning. reporter: for monitoring threats against attendees and vast surveillance systems. is a big job involving about 750 people working in tandem with 15 state and federal partners who tie in their systems as well. >> monitor real-time. we look at historical information. we also at the end look at what's coming to the country. >> anticipated that is half the battle. the other keeping a secure watch in operation. >> it is a huge network. >> absolutely.
1:14 pm
it's significant bandwidth. reporter: it means preventing hacking. >> it's a security issue. foreign surveillance of dignitaries, obviously, physical protection of the dignitaries while they are here. reporter: of course none of this would be possible without the nypd taken the lead on staging the operation. they call it a herculean task outfitting the city with vehicles, barriers and concrete blocks. this runs through next week. arthel: it is deftly an impressive operation all around. in the city and you see it it is in place. jackie, thank you very much. eric: a lot of times you see the world leaders going past each other in the lobby of the un. it is just really unbelievable how they do that. in four days millions will be watching the supreme court confirmation. christine blasey ford taking the oath and tell her story and
1:15 pm
brett kavanaugh responding to allegations. how this is affecting public support for the supreme court nominee. plus reversing course on releasing classified documents related to the russia investigation. >> i read every bit of the information and 99.9 percent of it has nothing to do with him. but i've seen all of it. without the exception of one document i don't think anyone's mind will be changed when they read this stuff.
1:16 pm
1:17 pm
1:18 pm
1:19 pm
eric: the wife of bruce ohr reversing course. nelly, a one time employee of fusion gps, will go before the house judiciary committee. after repeated invitations to do so. congressman bob -- >> she is cooperating, we have a date for appearance before the committee for an interview on october 19. eric: this comes as the president is rolling back his pusher lease classified documents that are related to the russian investigation. so will we ever see them? a former cia station chief and
1:20 pm
contributor, joining us now. does the american people deserve to know the whole truth?the concerns and actions taken by officials to obtain fisa warrants and more. >> i think the present to the right thing by tapping the brakes on declassification. just to allow the review process to carry on and proceed. so we can take into account concerns about sources and methods from the fbi and from allied foreign partners and the present refer to think those are probably the united kingdom and australia based on what we know about the papadopoulos investigation. this is raw intelligence information. we also have to be careful about assessing it. eric: you say it is raw, you
1:21 pm
have done this you've seen it. what is it? is it just reams of interview reports and are they actual reports? what you suspect is in there? >> i suspect with a pretty high degree of confidence that it is intelligence reporting from human sources as well as possibly signals intelligence that was picked up on the persons of interest. essentially, we talking about three people in these documents. bruce ohr, george papadopoulos, and then the third be carter page. carter page is under investigation as early as 2013 for contact with russian intelligence. eric: maybe they were tapping a cell phone, look at email. do still steam open envelopes like they used to do? >> is old school trick. i think these days we are looking at cyber intrusions into peoples email and such. papadopoulos, he joined the trump campaign in march 2016 and then he was meeting with this infamous professor who
1:22 pm
reportedly introduced papadopoulos to the niece of vladimir putin. she turned out not to be his knees but he was the one that a month later when papadopoulos told the australian high commissioner to the uk that the russians had told him that they had thousands of clinton emails. that is really one of the triggers for the investigation of the first place. eric: we know about the professor. would we know if they were trying to set him up? if it was a fake set up, they are pretty shifty fellas. what do we know about the professor and other things that have not made public yet? >> they could certainly be information about surveillance of the professor. his contact with russian officials at the embassy in london. those will all be very sensitive and potentially, could be a problem for our sources and methods which are just, that is the secret part
1:23 pm
of this. the problem you run into with raw reporting is usually we want to pass on analysis without the raw reporting which contains sources and methods. very rarely, anyone in a position to make executive decisions want to know anything about what those raw sources. that is risky business. eric: can they release, because you get back and a whole page is black. you think were they trying to keep secret? it is one thing to protect a source with a name. it is another to say it is a method. there is a wiretap or overheard. but what internation will cause the government to blackout whole paragraphs and pages of things? >> we've seen already there been multiple releases with documents for carter page. there is an ongoing investigation and some sources may still be operating against russian intelligence and doing other things to report on russian intelligence.
1:24 pm
we do not want to do is cause those sources to be put under distress. and i can say the first people to read this will be the russians and they will be scouring documents to be found out who the sources are. eric: we certainly would not want to endanger any source or anyone's life or anything like that. finally, what you think will happen at the end once they scrub some of that sensitive information? >> i think represent of gouty says he read it all and it will not change anyone's mind. i think he is a very astute reader of intelligence. and i put a lot of credence and his overall assessment. i think we have to wait to see but i think what he saying says cells it makes a lot of sense to me and i think the present have to look at the benefit of releasing the documents as a potential cause i think that is what the president is doing right now. eric: good to see you as always. over cia station chief in
1:25 pm
moscow, did you have to have your food flown in from america to make sure that it was tested? >> no, actually did eat russian food. and actually drink tea with russian intelligence on occasion. eric: thank you for that! and thank you for your service. >> thank you. arthel: thank you, daniel. big changes can becoming concerning who gets a green card for the trump administration proposing a crackdown on a class of administration appeared what they want and who will be affected? plus christine blasey ford who accused brett kavanaugh of sexual assault, decades ago, is now set to testify before the senate judiciary committee. this, as a recent fox news poll shows judge kavanaugh is losing support among certain voters. >> this is not a woman that is confused, mixed up in something she has carried with her. she will share her story and i think that the american people
1:26 pm
need to listen. se extra years? well, you have to start planning as early as possible. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, of retirement. i don't have a whole lot saved up, but i'm working on it now. i will do whatever i need to do. ♪ plan your financial life with prudential. bring your challenges.

1:28 pm
1:29 pm
1:30 pm
the senate judiciary committee confirming today that doctor christine blasey ford will testify in public. under oath at the witness table at the senate hearing room on thursday. she is expected to outline allegations a supreme court never not. sexually assaulted her during a high school party in the 1980s. he has strongly denied it. and other reported witnesses cannot cooperate her claims. this comes as public support for judge kavanaugh does, right now, seem to be winning. on a new fox news poll sq registered voters if they would vote to confirm kavanaugh, 40 percent said yes. it is down from 45 percent last month. 50 percent say no. it is up from 46 percent last month. we have a constitutional law attorney and director of public policy for the james dobbs family institute joining us.
1:31 pm
this is going to be big. i mean absolutely riveting, constitutionally important. what are you looking for, what can we expect? >> it is really important for the constitution and for precedent. regardless of the outcome here. we need to remember especially the american public, what a context really is. it is not a criminal trial. this is not anything where we are actually determining really, the truth of the allegation. i do not think it can happen in a senate confirmation hearing. senators need to judge the credibility of brett kavanaugh and determine, is he competent and fit for the supreme court? the burden of proof here absolutely has to still be on doctor ford. for her to come make this type of allegation in a senate confirmation hearing setting, the constitution still requires the due process protections are in place even though the sun is a political bridge. includes confrontation of
1:32 pm
witnesses and generally fundamental fairness. we look at the poles that you just talked about, the fact that we do not embed this element of direct democracy for the american voter to actually confirm a judicial nominee, it is in place for a reason. we hope that the senate actually understands what the obligation is here when they look at the merit of brett kavanaugh which is astounding. he is impeccably credentialed judge with over 300 written -- they've never had this type of allegation or anything ever occur. more documents have been given in his hearing than any of the five previous judicial nominees. there is no reason for the senate not to confirm unless dr. ford can't cooperate her allegations and give them a very good reason to believe her credibility. eric: apparently that cooperation was not there. so when she says was in the room says he does remember it and does not want to testify.
1:33 pm
and some other people that she told the "washington post" can corroborate her story, they have been unable to do that too. her side saying of course he did not know anything at the time because she did not come out for decades with this. so when the senators are in the room and we as viewers are watching on thursday, she may likely be emotional, she may likely detail very painful, extremely painful specific detailed experiences about how she felt. surely democratic senators will likely try to get out of her. so how do you weigh that with what everyone expected would be judge kavanaugh defend himself but beyond that, probably talking with the issue of sexual assault as well as due process as you point out. >> and this really becomes a turning point for america here. particularly for women. myself as an evangelical christian and representing the institute which will encourage everyone to get out and vote and make sure that your vote is heard. this matters to the future of america because we can certainly sympathize with any alleged victim we also have to
1:34 pm
remember that due process protection and fundamental fairness and truth are really in the interest ultimately, of justice and the american system of law. for the me too movement to presume that almost every man is a sex offender it is up to him to prove that he did not do whatever the allegation is, it is setting a very dangerous precedent for legitimate victims and also for the process. women need to understand that we can be pro-woman, we can be pro-men and we can be pro-the constitutional protections. of course democrats will try to elicit the emotions. that is what they thrive on, emotion rather than logic and the law. we need to make sure in the midterms we are voting for people that will understand and recognize that the constitution protects everyone. regardless of gender, regardless of allegation and that we can be both pro-men and for women. eric: finally, did we have to be here in the first place?
1:35 pm
there is a piece in the weekly standard, we had greg in with us on the noon hour this is what he wrote about dianne feinstein. he writes, she could have and should have handled the concerns in the normal protocols. the process is specifically designed to protect interest of accusers and nominees. the goal is to pursue the truth not political advantage. she chose not to handle this. according to procedures. has had terrible consequences for all the individuals involved and has the lasting damage to the senate and supreme court as institutions. i concerned about that and do believe that is the case? >> absolutely. i would agree with that we have seen senator feinstein in particular, they have played delay tactics and political
1:36 pm
posturing throughout the whole confirmation process. it would be no different regardless of which one of the 25 they were on the original list of president trump. regardless of who the nominee was, democrats looking for delay tactics. remember, this is not just about brett kavanaugh. it is about losing majority on the supreme court that they manipulated to drive their political outcome for the last 50 and 60 years. that's was realistic enough for the democrats are pushing for, no matter what nominee the president would move forward. they're trying to delay this until the midterms to hopefully get a majority in the senate. conservatives and anyone genuinely interested in the rule of law should not allow that to happen and should not allow this type of precedent to be set. to use assess political manipulation instead of understanding what our law is really about. we make the decision in 2016 with electing president trump. he is to determine who his nominee is. all people should be doing is look at the facts on the record
1:37 pm
and confirming judge kavanaugh because he is truly a credentialed and he absolutely should be confirmed. eric: their duty to advise and have a vote whether you agree with the presidents choice or not. that is their duty and they will certainly have the challenge on thursday. thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you, eric. arthel: the trump administration proposing a shakeup of the green card system. new rules that will sharply restrict green cards for immigrants receiving welfare. the ministration says the new guidelines promote self-sufficiency. william longeness is live with more. reporter: the current rule dates back to bill clinton. and it is not taking immigrants that depend on taxpayers and government subsidies to support themselves. for years officials considered the so-called public charge rule vague and unenforceable. this week the trump administration proposed new regulations to clarify.
1:38 pm
immigrants who apply for a green card or work permit do not need public assistance or become a financial burden on taxpayers. the new rule says immigrants are ineligible if they have taken any government welfare benefit, federal, state or local in the last three years that means food stamps, cash assistance, medicaid, housing or energy subsidies. totaling $2000 for an individual, $4000 for a family. saturday the dhs secretary said this in a statement. those seeking to immigrate to the united states must show they can support themselves financially. the proposed rule will implement a law passed by congress intended to promote immigrant self-sufficiency and protect finite resources by ensuring that they are not likely to become burdens on american taxpayer. but opponents say that the rule is outrageous. that it will benefit wealthy immigrants and it will hurt those who work for minimum wage and need government help to get by. our federal government should not be in the business of penalizing low income parents.
1:39 pm
punishing kids or targeting immigrants who work hard, strengthen our economy, pay taxes and play by the rules. that is from eric garcetti. right now 9 million immigrants receive subsidies. opponents say can be double that number because those who have children who are getting welfare, will voluntarily cut themselves off because they feel they will not be able to get a green card. they say numbers could be billions of dollars. not paid out in benefits. a fight is ahead, there will be a 60 day comment period. it could become law without congressional action. back to you. arthel: we keep an eye on it. thank you. eric: across the pond there is backlash against brexit. some european countries are not on board with the plan from theresa may to leave the european union. plus president trump scheduled to speak at the un annual general assembly session this week. coming up, we take a closer look at what we can expect from
1:40 pm
the presidents major speech.

united nations general simply for the second time. and he faces a series of international challenges. from north korea, china and iran. gillian turner is in washington with more. reporter: the trump foreign policy team in new york city today. for participation in the 73rd meeting of the un general assembly. president trump gearing up for what will be the second major address delivered to the global gathering as nations. some of this year's theme may sound familiar. >> united nations has tremendous potential. but it has not lived up to that potential. reporter: the present face backlash lester for wet some countries thought of as
1:45 pm
criticism. but we are told that this is not a deterrent and they plan to hammer home to america first foreign policy. top parties to highlight what they believe are the foreign policy successes. top of the list? north korea. >> the ministrations position is not changed in the time we entered this discussion. we talked about particular facilities, particular weapons. the conversations are underway and we are hopeful that we can deliver this outcome for the world. >> iran also features on that list. because europeans have a decision to make. i think the decision is already being made. if you look, the drop in business from around left and right. iran's economy is plummeting and it is because they cannot continue to sustain this. we are not giving them a pass. reporter: since then they've all taken to the streets with the same message. they recommitted to america first. every time u.s. interest and priorities rub up against those of the international community, they assisted the trump administration will choose the united states. eric: thank you so much. arthel: for more on this and what we can expect at the un,
1:46 pm
the president of iris independent research, doctor grant. thank you for joining us. >> good to be here. arthel: earlier today the former governor of new mexico, richardson told eric that although some progress has been made, north korea is not doing enough to denuclearize. what will the president say about this in his address to the un? >> i expect him to give some praise to the un and to the security council for sticking with the sanctions enforcement. he owes a lot to the ability of russia and china to stay on board. and that said, we know that president moon will be around as well. and i suspect he has some items to share with president trump from the meetings last week. and pompeo said if you read between the lines, there is a lot of talking going on. he mentioned specific sites and so, i think there is still a lot going forward with
1:47 pm
denuclearization and i think it is on track. arthel: on track. okay, let's talk about iran. should the present me with iranian leadership and what is the likelihood of a sideline meeting between the president trump and present rouhani? >> iran, what a question! president trump has said all along, that he is willing to meet with any world leader if the talks can be constructive. so i assume it means he would meet with president rouhani. he would presumably meet with the supreme leader ayatollah if he were there. but that said, i do not expect it will happen. i do not see either the gentleman and iran wanting to want to talk to trump or the basis for cooperative action. now, there is strong back channel communication. probably through a european intermediary because the european is pulling out of iran and i think the sanctions and
1:48 pm
the exit from the iran deal is having impact. arthel: some european allies are concerned about the exit. so they will be watching to see and hear with the president says on that. let's talk china. with the u.s. and trade war with china, where he expected to hear from the president about china? >> this is a great question. and i will be listening to see how much he talks about china. the fact is that president trump has chosen this moment we have a strong u.s. economy to try and reset that long imbalance. our trade deficit has been going up ever since china joined the wto in 2000. but i'm curious if he will take a swing at china. or if he wants to keep the trade war in bilateral channels. and don't forget, that our european allies also feel the sting of this trade imbalance with china. so donald trump is on very solid ground here.
1:49 pm
as he seeks to find a better relationship with china going forward. and to make things more even. we cannot go on like we have been for the past 20 years. arthel: quickly, will the president take the opportunity to warn russia and other bad actors are interfering in our elections? >> i think he will. he will say, north korea, china, russia, iran, stay out of the midterm elections. i do expect them to say that, absolutely! arthel: doctor grant, you have a lot of confidence. i'm just saying! [laughter] thank you. >> thank you, arthel. eric: uk plans to leave the european union, right now is at a standstill. they are taking to the streets. they're marking two years in favor of the divorce. can they get a do over brexit? we will go live for what some are saying in london, next.
