>> we certainly hope he is going to be confirmed. his family has suffered. >> this shameful shameful smear campaign has had a new low. >> the confirmation battle is heating up. >> a battle indeed and brett kavanaugh is not backing down. sitting with his wife ashley for that exclusive with martha maccallum the judge denying wrongdoing. >> i never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school, not ever. i always treated women with dignity and respect. listen to the people who have known me best my whole life. >> reporter: he says he won't be intimidated into withdrawing his name. >> i want a fair process.

i know i am telling the truth. i know my lifelong record and i'm not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process. i have faith in god and faith in the fairness of the american people. >> reporter: it was clear that this has taken a toll on the family. >> it is very difficult. very difficult to have these conversations which we had to have on broader terms. >> reporter: he will appear before the senate judiciary committee after the first woman, christine blasey-ford testifies against him about an alleged high school incident. mitch mcconnell says there will be a vote on the nomination is democrats call for a delay and chuck schumer calling for an fbi investigation. >> if you really believed these

allegations are part of a despicable smear job, why don't you call for an fbi investigation? >> reporter: adding to the allocation, in a college incident reported in the new yorker stormy daniels's lawyer claiming he has a new client with new allegations about brett kavanaugh. it will be quite a week. heather: exhausting is the word when you have them jumping into the fray. despite the left's attempts to shatter brett kavanaugh's character he still has support where it matters most, the senate but as lindsey graham warns the chamber is in a bad place right now. >> they knew about this since july 30th then chose to do nothing about it. for them to complain about the process, the allegation, this has been the worst low point in

the senate for me and that is saying a lot. i never thought it would get this bad. we will have a hearing thursday and have a vote soon after and the take away from the call when it comes to donald trump there are no boundaries, no rules. whatever you need to do to destroy him or his agenda is okay and that is very sad. >> the confirmation remains razor thin. we have more on this coming up. rodriguez and stein still has his job at least for now. donald trump previewing their face-to-face meeting set for thursday when he returns from the un general assembly. >> we will be meeting at the white house and determining what is going on. we went transparency. i look forward to meeting with

congress and let the american people judge for themselves. if he does not there are a number of us that are standing by with impeachment documents and said we cannot have this kind of activity continue at the doj. >> he said he was being sarcastic when talking about secretly recording donald trump and invoking the 25th amendment. donald trump set to double down on his america first message when he addresses the united national general assembly this morning. the president making waves at a gathering of world leaders with a major announcement concerning north korea. john roberts has details. >> meeting with south korean president moon, donald trump announced he will hold another summit with kim jong un. >> the location is to be

determined. we are both looking forward to having it, it will be between north korea, the united states, similar to the format we had before but in a different location. >> the white house remains concerned kim is not making enough progress on denuclearization. >> how long do you leave the door open before we >> to join our pressure campaign to thwart iran's torrent of district of activity. >> at the same time he is calling out he ran's continued bad behavior the president is leaving the door open to meet with iran's leadership. secretary of state mike pompeo saying donald trump is willing

to meet with president rouhani and even the ayatollah amini. rouhani taking a not so veiled swipe at the president. >> we tend to build bridges instead of walls as racial discrimination in the no phobia make it easier to build walls and not bridges. >> the united nations in new york, john roberts, fox news. >> the suspect is in custody after an american diplomat is found dead overseas. the state department confirming the and identified foreign service officer discovered lifeless in an apartment in madagascar. it is unclear how he died but local police say an

heather: the headline says rod rosenstein suggested he discussed the 25th amendment but then you have rod rosenstein saying based on my personal dealings with the president there is no basis to invoke the 25th amendment. his job in question right now. you think it is do or die. >> absolutely is. he will try to defend himself against this new york times article and probably call fake news. he will say there's misleading facts but interestingly he probably won't or hasn't explained what is misleading about the article or whether it is the just of the article he finds untrue so he will try to stay on as long as possible. the president is calling him and to give him a chance to say did you say this? do you think i should be impeached? what is your evidence to prove that? the president and white house is trying to walk a fine line.

democrats would love to have the president remove him from office and use that as a bargaining chip or even galvanizing call to action against republicans in the midterms. there are political ramifications. heather: do you think democrats and some republicans that are not pro-donald trump are trying to get them to make movement on rod rosenstein? >> they would love to set that trap. the white house at this point is a little smarter than that. we did see some articles of impeachment introduced against rod rosenstein because he refused to come up with documents behind the fisa warrant about the russia investigation.

my guess is he will survive thursday but i don't see him surviving long after that. heather: that is another question. in terms of whether or not rosenstein was being sarcastic which he claims he was being sarcastic in terms of the wire donald trump himself cracked jokes that perhaps he shouldn't have in the past, the left is accused constantly of having no sense if you were when it comes to donald trump so perhaps rod rosenstein was being sarcastic but you talk about the fisa warrant been declassified and made public donald trump seems prepared to do that and rod rosenstein said don't do that. >> maybe there is a reason why, it would make him look very bad or the evidence he used for that warrant is based on a suspect dossier paid for by the clinton

foundation and has a sinister background. washington is the swamp. rod rosenstein will try his best, he came out swinging and supportive the president and when he realizes he lost a lot of allies on the other side of the aisle swung way to the other side trying to score democratic points and this is where we are. heather: where we are in terms of brett cavanagh categorically denying sexual misconduct allegations. are the left as resistance tactics to destroy the supreme court nominee's career setting a dangerous precedent? >> they are. whether you are talking about last-minute allegations particularly the one in the new yorker with less substantiation than the previous allocation by doctor ford.

no substantiation, we are seeing democrats are being true to their word. if you are number one brett cavanagh's name was flooded he was nominated they said they would stop at nothing to keep them off the bench. we have seen the tactics coming out. i think everyone wants to hear doctor ford testify thursday. they went to hear brett kavanaugh testify that there is fear about giving into these delay tactics opening the door for very incredulous allegations to come forward. heather: think the league needs to be investigated, senator feinstein did a huge disservice to doctor ford and brett kavanaugh in the way it was presented when she had ample opportunity beginning in july to take this to an investigation. behind-the-scenes and bring it forward. there is a lot to discuss and we will see what happens thursday. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. the time is 20 minutes after the top of the hour. teaching kids about whiteness

is this overreach or is it necessary? >> i think it is necessary but we haven't gotten to the point that we can tackle this problem at the level it needs to happen. the fact that law enforcement entities, the faa, don't have the ability to mitigate these drone threats is pretty absurd. they should already have the authority to protect our national interest and citizens and to be able to shoot down any rogue drones that may prove a danger to our country. heather: how real is the threat? this is what secretary nielsen said to congressman mccall, the threat is real, commercially available drones can be employed by terrorists and criminals to deliver harmful substances, disrupt communications and conduct illicit surveillance, our hands are tied when it comes to regarding americans against these threats. >> it is not a matter of if but

when an attack will take place. remember recently there was an attempted assassination on the venezuelan president and he almost died from a drone attack and that is the type of situation we will see more and more and that attack alone helped trigger these, looking at mitigating these threats because it is so imminent. when you think about it for years isis has proven this is an effective mechanism to attack others on the battlefield. we need to get ahead of the problem and for congress to look at this as a real imminent threat like it is. heather: you said at the beginning of the conversation you don't think this is enough. what else do we need to do? >> we need to allow law enforcement to do its job but at the same time we need to help look at implementing more technology and innovating this. right now as it relates to drone technology there are a number of

different organizations trying to develop all-encompassing solutions to mitigate the threat and one of the things that is interesting now is the faa is working on remote identification and that is the ability for law enforcement to be able to track a drone in flight and be able to see where it is flying and retrace those steps should it be found to be a threat. things like that will be really important going forward and to give law enforcement the ability to stop any type of attack in the future. heather: a good time for people to pick up your book thrown warrior for sure. thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. the time is two minutes until the top of the hour, one of the best pictures in a major league and he is officially a us citizen. felix hernandez's priceless reaction that will make you proud to be an american. lucky to be alive, the shocking
