and watch that i'm really happy for you. brian: you added a different element to it. pictures. ainsley: lots of them. brian: that's why the book. you have to hold it with two hands. ♪ ainsley: can you open it up and see pictures of the family. >> that's dr. oz's favorite cake but -- oh there we are having desert. it's our entire life story i was talking to my sister yesterday and she said it's not like a cookbook it's like a book with 106 recipes. brian: is there a kavanaugh casserole? ainsley: what would you bake in that. brian: kavanaugh has everything to do with the casserole. everybody puts their stuff in it and defines what's in it. steve: there would probabliable according to the president of the united states a lot of bologna in it. ainsley: bologna and ingredients from the 80's.

expired. steve: president was in johnson city, tennessee last night. he weighs there on behalf of congressman marsha blackburn running for the u.s. senate. a vote for her is a vote for me. he taking aim at democrats trying to undo brett kavanaugh. >> the democrats only know how to obstruct, demolish and destroy. to hurt anyone to get their way. like they are doing with judge kavanaugh. [crowd boos] >> then they want to take a lot longer with the fbi. by the way, if we took 10 years, they would want more time. dianne feinstein. [crowd boos] >> she had this letter for months. and she didn't reveal it until everything was finished. then she revealed it and then she says we want more time. they have been trying to destroy him since out first second he was announced.

they know judge kavanaugh will follow the constitution as written democrats want activists left wing judges who will totally rewrite your law us. erase your borders. it's a little harsh but i think i will keep it democrats are the party of crime. how does that sound? it's true. brian: anyone who thinks that tennessee marsha blackburn is in trouble. you didn't see that rally last night. she was great. there is so much emotion in tennessee last night with the president. it is game on in a state that's normally ruby red. ainsley: he said the democratic party is the party of crime. he talked about senator blumenthal claimed he was in vietnam. turns out he wasn't. false claims. curie booker the paper he wrote about groping women in high school. he went after joe biden said he would like to fight him behind out barn because biden said he would like to

beat the hell out of him. and talked about pocahontas and elizabeth warren. she actually looks conservative now compared to the rest of the party. steve: it was a wide ranging speech. regarding mr. kavanaugh, yesterday, the president and the house did authorize the fbi to talk to anybody you want. go anywhere you want. be done by friday. mitch mcconnell said he would bet almost anything dems would be unsatisfied. at the same time senate democrats sent to the fbi a list two of dozen names of people they would like the fbi to interview. and debra ramirez who was the second accuser, back in the day at yale, sent them a list with 20 names on it. so, clearly, if the fbi were going to do that it might run past friday. brian: mark judge was interviewed yesterday. they didn't finish of the interview. reportedly when he was asked about the swetnick accuser that you are about to hear about now, julie swetnick, he just said there is absolutely nothing to it he doesn't know where that came

from. all she is doing is accusing maybe next supreme court justice of putting drugs in a punch bowl. ainsley: spiking. brian: yeah. as well as being a witness or taking part in gang rapes. aside from that i don't see sensational. ainsley: discrepancies in her statements versus the interview she had with kate snow. kate snow talked about that on air and said there were discrepancies and said. so statements, some of her statements didn't match up such as she said in her statement she became aware of his efforts, meaning mark judge and kavanaugh's efforts to spike out punch. in the interview she said actually i saw them neither punch bowl. brian: same thing. steve: listen to the written statement she had given was very damning. remember her attorney is michael avenatti. yet, in the nts in the nbc intet sounds like she has witnessed brett kavanaugh giving out red solo cups to a few girls.

watch that. >> in that statement swetnick said she became aware of efforts by kavanaugh and his friend mark judge to spike punch at parties. in our interview, she said she saw them near the punch but did not specifically say she saw either man spike it. >> did you see brett kavanaugh, you know, spiking the punch? >> well, i saw him giving red solo cups to quite a irfew girls during that time frame. i saw him around the punch i won't say bowls or containers. i don't know what he did. but i saw them by him. >> are there friends who remember these parties, too. >> i think everybody in the county remembers those parties. >> we haven't heard from those friends. so i'm asking, you know, are there people. >> yes. >> alive today. >> yeah. yes. >> went to those parties with you. >> there are people that know about those parties. >> this morning swetnick provided names of four friends who went to the parties with her. one of them says he does not recall a julie swetnick. another friend she named is

deceased. we reached out to the other two and haven't heard back. brian: she was assaulted but she says she doesn't know if brett kavanaugh walls one of the people that assaulted her. but, if he was, he should never be in a supreme court justice seat. true, is what she said true? steve: different from the statement. in the statement she had said that he was spiking the punch a as i as i remember it there she could not remember whether he did spike it but she said he was handing out red solo cups. ainsley: there were also other things that stuck tout to me. she said he had a very distinctive face. she called him mark kavanaugh and corrected herself correctly sorry, brett kavanaugh. so she mixed mark judge's name with brett kavanaugh, which could happen but it made me think just maybe she is not as close or doesn't know him as well as she is claiming. to say she did answer the question we were talking why is a college student going to a high schooler's party. she said parties age 15 to

25 at these parties. at community college at the time and kavanaugh was in high school. brian: it's just such a damning accusation. you would think there would be more to back it up before you sign up michael avenatti and become international news. you are basically telling someone -- i mean, that's a criminal offense to put drugs in somebody's drink and then to say you got online for gang rape and now she says i just saw people gathered around. ainsley: i'm so sorry if that happened to her. you can't go on national television and release a statement saying all these claims and when you are interviewed your story changes. her exboiferld was on with laura ingraham and claiming she is very litigious and always talked about lawsuits. he said she can't be trusted. he did file a restraining order in march of 2001. he actually didn't go to court because he and his family decided not to because he was worried about the repercussions and what she might do to his family.

he said she threatened to kill them and their unborn child. steve: i believe of the accuser she is the only one the fbi has not reached out to at this point. brian: some are saying should do you that, alan dershowitz told us yesterday i would start there start at number three and work my way backwards because he believes that's the least credible of all of them. ainsley: she did make unsubstantiated sexual misconduct claims against some of her employers. one of hers accused her of lying about education and workplace experience. steve: more of that coming up. plus, what happened after a ub 40 concert in 1985. it sounds like mr. kavanaugh threw ice on a guy. a friend threw a glass that cut a guy's face. ainsley: he hasn't confirmed that bar fight at college at yale when he was a junior and guy gets his right ear cut and goes to the hospital. evidence said kavanaugh threw ice and kavanaugh's friend threw a glass. brian: among the people who

went to bat kurt dudley played center one of the most dea dedicated guys. ainsley: those are the facts, you be the judge. steve: we could talk another 10 minutes on this. time for news. jillian: following a number of stories stearating with this. a passenger, hundreds of them, forced to evacuate after a fire breaks out in the wheel wells of a jet. more than 200 people taken off the delta flight at jfk airport in new york as crews sprayed it down. delta says avoided a takeoff to you guana. heading back to the gate when the fire started. thankfully though nobody was hurt. the man who tried to take off in a response plane taking off for good. escorted back to trinidad tomorrow after pleading guilty to burglary. aviation students hopped a fence and jumped on to a fence at melbourne airport last month. prosecutors say he acted alone and wanted to kill himself. once deported he will be put

democrat. so, i think it's just super, super important to just look at it and understand that women all around, you know, the country are watching right now but not everyone agrees with the left. ainsley: what did you think about each of the individuals, dr. ford and judge kavanaugh during the hearings? what went through your mind? >> well, so during the trial, you know, or during the hearings i wanted to take a step back and understand that, you know, dr. ford, you know, might be telling the truth but judge kavanaugh also is innocent until proven guilty. and so i decided to listen to both of their sides, you know, just with an open mind. and although i do hear dr. ford and i believe she has been through this hurt before, i don't believe as ethical and well-respected as judge kavanaugh is the one who hurt her. ainsley: you have said this is upsetting and disheartening, you say that sexual assault accusations

have become a weapon. what do you mean by that? >> well, so you see that the left is desperately trying to slow down president trump's agenda. you know, the more that these false accusations come out. it's kind of like the boy who cried wolf. you know, i think it's a disgrace to women who actually have been sexually assaulted to use them as a weapon to try to slow down president trump's agenda. ainsley: i know you were at the i stand with brett at that rally we saw during those confirmation hearings. what was it like to be outside and were you heckled by the other side? >> well, so i columbia. i have not been in d.c. what i can tell you is being on the other side, you know, in columbia on a college campus, you really see people give you dirty looks. ainsley: has it opened up conversation and dialogue among your friends, among the girls on campus? >> yeah. so that's something that definitely goes on, you know, especially girls in my

steve: that's right. and bernie sanders is in the news frequently. but now we are switching gears. remember this image of this flag it caught the nation's attention when it continued to fire off the tower in the middle of hurricane florence. brought winds of over 100 miles per hour. >> brian: the owner of the trying pan tower joined us on "fox & friends" to talk about that flag and what it represented. >> what we wanted to do when we put it up there was nothing more than saying this is america. we are proud of it and we go through storms together and we survive. we hang on and we rebuild. steve: that message of hanging on is what resonated with the criewls so he family they placed a bid of $10,900 to take home the flag in honor of their brother kevin who passed away on sunday. brian: here now to share their story high bidder himself mike crouso and the owner of the flag richard neil. mike, in particular, when

did you realize you wanted to take action on this? >> we first seen the flag and we didn't know about it until it was on ebay two days prior to my brother passing on friday. and when we seen it, and actually looked at the video from the actual storm and how that flag stood tall, stood firm and was resilient and persevered and found out it was named kevin, we said that's our brother kevin. that's what he did. he never gave up. always persevered and always fought even in the middest of the strongest storm. steve: richard, why is it you thought that auctioning this off would be a good idea? >> well, you know, there are so many people that spent a lot of time and effort taking care of people. it seemed that rather than hanging on the wall and just looking at it, let's instead turn it into good use help the people still outplaced from their homes even right now. >> are you surprised it raised over $10,000?

>> well, based on just the views and the way that people were paying attention to it as it was flying and it was having difficulty being torn apart, i knew it would pull at the heart strings like it did mine. brian: mike, now the flag seems to be in the news all the time. what does it mean for you and your family? >> well, again, our brother kevin was -- he was an incredible man, he never lost his composure even in the most difficult of times through his life. and that's the way we try to live ourselves. he battled through many, many situations and you know we all face battles in our lives and face challenges and storms. if we just are courageous and stand tall, stand firm, you will come through, you will come through stronger on the other end. brian: will you frame it. >> we are going to put it in a nice box frame. we haven't coach the exact words and a plaque but it's going to honor our men and

women who fight for our freedoms and our brother freedom. that's what the stand stands for perseverance, freedom and courage. steve: richard, why is it we had it on the fox news channel all the time a good gauge of how strong the winds were. why were people calling that flag kevin? >> well, we had a video feed that was showing all the time and as the lights got dimmer and it turned into white snow, the internet kind of kept going and there were 16,000 people chatting i think at one particular point somebody decide well, where's kevin. kept the ball rolling. steve: the internet named it. >> that's right. brian: thanks so much for sharing your story. >> thank you. >> great to be here. thank you very much. steve: 28 minutes after the top of the hour. president trump last night in tennessee calling out the democrats. >> ever since -- boy, they lost the 2016 election.

but at which time he made it clear when he opened up for questions, kavanaugh was on everybody's mind. ainsley: yesterday he was at the rally and he talked about the media and the left. listen to this and we will get your reaction. >> this weekend, mr. president, you said that it's incorrect to say you are limiting the scope of the fbi investigation. >> what does that have to do with trade? let's do that later but i will call you a second time. you are going back to high school because he had beer? now for you democrats, and i guess i'm including you too, the media, right? i consider you a part of the democrat party. i think the press has treated me unbelievably unfair. they are loco but that's okay. i put up with it. ainsley: he talked about it at the rose garden too. dr. gorka, what is your reaction to that? >> spot on. he is absolutely spot on. they have lost their minds. let's start with the kavanaugh hearing. we have people like cory booker who admitted to groping a high schooler. we have people like dianne feinstein who had a chinese

spy on her payroll for 20 years. we have people like richard blumenthal who lied about being a combat veteran in vietnam. and these people are going to sit in judgment over brett kavanaugh, who has a spotless reputation? look at what they have done in just the last 10 days. they are so desperate to stop this good man, this godly man, they have tried to accuse him of being a serial rapist. they tried to accuse him of trying to kill this woman, dr. ford. and now what's the latest charge when they can't make anything stick? this is like an snl skit. he threw ice over somebody 30 years ago in college. they are loco. it's unbelievable. steve: there was some sort of a police report filed but he was not charged. you know, you are right. it wound up in the pages of the "new york times" u sebastian, you know why the democrats are doing. this they would liking to

run out the clock, essentially. have the republicans lose control of the senate, it would be a tie and that way, you know, their agenda would not be changed. >> yeah. they have lost the will of the american people. donald trump became the president. they thought hillary was a shoe in. remember the night of the election the "new york times" 94% chance of winning. huffington post said 97% chance of winning. it was lock interested in for hillary. they lost, the american people decided that donald trump would be president, so what's their only hope now? to win the highest court in the land to a legislative body and gain political control through the supreme court. and that's why brett kavanaugh has to be taken out and we can't let it happen. brian: it's like this. i mean, you basically can blame the field. you can blame the refs.

the president is saying i will expand the fbi investigation but everything is going to end on friday. one thing telling he said listen, i'm used to the attacks. that's the way it is with this job. brett kavanaugh is not. i worry about other people. maybe like you could really identify with it. waiting for the nomination process to take place. and it never happened. they quit their jobs. they line up their background. they give into all of this they just wait, wait, and wait. and our government is working with an arm behind its back. it's not going to help republicans, democrats or the country. who watches brett kavanaugh and think it's worth it for them and their family to go forward with serving the government. because you don't get rich doing it. >> right. brian, look. i have been there. i was deputy assistant to the president, i had one journalist write 42 hit pieces on me in three months. they attack not only me, i get it, i'm a proxy for the president. that's fine. when you attack my wife. you attack my dead mother's reputation. you attacked my -- i had a

journalist who wrote a piece about my high school aged son being a traitor to the conservative cause. who is going to want to work in government? he is absolutely right. we have more than 300 political poinsettia that are being slow rolled by the democrats. that's not good for any americans, but this is how desperate the democrats are. steve: let's see if they do take a vote later this week could be procedural, could be the big one, sebastian gorka, thanks very much. >> thank you device. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian. jillian: we have a fox news alert. just moments ago first lady melania trump stepping off her plane arriving in ghana. it's her first stop on a week long journey through africa where she will spread her be best campaign for children. she will also make stops in thainand egypt. embattled democratic congressman keith ellison. the minnesota attorney general candidate is accused

♪ jillian: hope you are having a good morning so far welcome back. quick headlines now. minnesota is offering a nonbinary option on drivers licenses. starting this month drivers are k. choose from three options, male, female, or x for those who do not identify with either gender. oregon and washington already offer the nonbinary option. the new holiday will help those people who dointled identify aas a specific gender. 50 countries are endorsing the first ever international pronoun's day on october 17th. participants can do things like ask campuses to make pronouns optional in student records or hand out familiar threats. steve? steve: all right, jillian, thank you. prosecutors who question dr. christine ford last week released a memo on sunday to

senate republicans. the memo explained that dr. ford's case is far weaker than the standard he said she said case. brian: dr. mitchell gave says to. he said she said case is difficult to prove. this case is even weaker than that dr. ford identified other witnesses to the event and those witnesses either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborated those allegations. ainsley: joining us to react is fox news senior analyst judge napolitano. >> i was very critical of her performance. i thought that she actually fortified rather than challenged the credibility of dr. ford. and her questions to judge kavanaugh were so meandering that senator graham in the middle of it cut her off and said we are going to do the questioning. we all remember what he said. and then following him the other republicans did so. i just think she comes from an environment where it's

one-on-one prosecutor and victim. there is no cam has. there is no senate judiciary committee. brian: no five minutes. >> no five minutes which was preposterous. they should have given her all the five-minute seeing you meants at once. >> her goal is to decide is this victim credible and am i going to take the case and use the power of the state. in this case arizona where she is from, to prosecute somebody. you can't make that decision just by talking to the witness. in this case she had the opportunity to talk to the alleged perpetrator. but she didn't take that into account when she gave the memorandum. brian: judge, she did come to conclusions that are significant. that is there are a lot of things this woman cannot answer. >> correct. brian: no memory where this took place and how she got there and who took her home. they were laughing afterwards, you couldn't have heard anything going on and one thing she did is never asked how do you know brett kavanaugh? >> right. right. she should have asked that

or somehow dr. ford should have said that but, look, this prosecutor is applying legal standards and legal tools to what is effectively a political environment, which is what the senate judiciary committee was. yes, legal tools like taking an oath to tell the truth opportunity for cross-examination to the chair can rule. it's political. what is the impression at the end of it? the impression at the end of it were that both credible. who has the burden of going forward? again, it's not a courtroom, it's politics. steve: on friday we talked to lindsey graham and john cornyn both senators on the panel and they both appreciated what she did by asking the questions. essentially though, in her sending this out to the senate republicans. she is giving them talking points. judge: she is. steve: making the case you should feel okay with voting either way. judge: refers to herself as an independent observer.

she is not. her memo would have been more credible had she done that. ainsley: what about julie swetnick she was on with kate snow last night and avenatti's client she has a lot of holes. judge: i don't know if the fbi going to go. the president has unleashed the fbi. he doesn't tell them where they go. he tells them they may go wherever the evidence. brian: you believe the vote is going to take place on friday? >> you mean the confirmation vote? i don't think so. because of the 30 hours of debate. they may stop the senate judiciary committee proceedings on friday. but, according to our expert, chad pergram, that triggers a series of events. steve: procedural votes. >> correct. take four or five days. i don't know what the outcome is same five or six senators. a couple of republicans and a couple brian the fbi should be wrapped up. >> yes. the fbi should have been an unleashed to do this before the committee vote he had. and before judge kavanaugh

testified. very perilous for him be investigated after he testifies under oath. ainsley: thank you, judge. brian: crazy. 11 minutes before the hour. the fight over judge kavanaugh goes beyond the supreme court. >> this is about getting rid of donald trump. this is about making sure that trump is paralyzed in the administration following the mid terms in november. brian: he was just getting warmed up. more for him straight away. ainsley: todd piro is having breakfast with our friends in tennessee. hey, todd. >> it's not even 7:00 here and check out this crowd in the diner. what did you think of donald trump's speech last night?

todd: appalled at the treatment of brett kavanaugh, why? >> as a woman with a father and a brother, i'm heart broken for him. and i think it's despicable the way they have treated him. and it's awful that you can be accused of something in this country apparently without any evidence and the senate judiciary committee should be ashamed of themselves. the democrats and the republicans need to stand behind the president and behind brett kavanaugh because he has 30 years of public service under his belt and he deserves a lot better.

to get their way. like they're doing with judge kavanaugh. [crowd boos. and then they want to take a lot longer with the fbi, no, the fbi, they should take -- by the way, if we took 10 years, they would want more time. dianne feinstein. [crowd boos. >> she had this letter for months. and she didn't reveal it until everything was finished. then she revealed it then she says oh, we want more time. they have been trying to destroy him since the very first second he was announced because they know that judge kavanaugh will follow the constitution. and democrats want activists, left wing judges who will totally rewrite your laws, erase your borders and replace your values. it's a little harsh but i think i will keep it democrats are the party of crime. it's true. brian: the president also brought up some potential opponents like cory booker, like joe biden.

steve: blumenthal. brian: blumenthal and elizabeth warren. he doesn't call her that one of the key moments is going to be, you can talk about rhetoric and democrats and the president has a strong case to make. tfns going to come down to jeff flake. jeff flake said last night that he will be in the next. dialogue with the white house counsel's office to make sure that the investigation is up to standards. there is no good to have an investigation that just gives more cover. so, jeff flake go either way. instead of just going out. it's going to come out jeff flake, murkowski and collins. very simple. i'm not sure what he means or what he wants, he's the one who said just give me till friday. just do an investigation until friday and get out of committee. my hope is the president's remarks yesterday and what he said on the stump i told the fbi, follow the leads within reason. ainsley: what about manchin don't you think manchin will vote yes eventually or not until the very end. brian: not unless it decides anything. he would never break a tie. steve: exactly right. rush limbaugh says the democrats are strategizing

this way watch. >> about raw hatred of donald trump and making he is denied this court seat or any other court seat and making sure that trump doesn't get anything substantively done. this is about getting rid of donald trump. this is about making sure that trump is paralyzed in his administration following the mid terms in november. if anything, if anything ought to be inspiring republicans to vote, it is that. the democrats and the republican conservatives never trumpers are trying to destroy the presidency that was duly elected by the people in 2016. that's what needs to be used to generate turnout for republicans and kavanaugh is caught in this crossfire. make no mistake but it's trump they are aiming at. brian: he was going to break. steve: he was going to commercial. so the put in the white house thorlzed the fbi, you

know, we know it was just four people you were going to talk. to say talk to anybody you want. just make sure it's done by friday. senate democrats sent a list of two dozen names they would like investigated by the fbi. and, also, debra ramirez, who was classmate at yale, she apparently has named 20 people who she says witnessed these allegations that kavanaugh inappropriate. ainsley: another accuser julie swetnick was on can a w. kate snow yesterday on nbc. kate snow was asking her tough questions what you are telling me right nau there are a lot of discrepancies compared to the statements that you released when you really accused him of some things that now you are walking back. listen to this. >> i was physically assaulted in every way you could possibly physically assault a woman. it was horrible. i had no way to fend them off. >> you know what i'm going to ask. everyone is wondering if one

of those people was brett kavanaugh. >> i cannot specifically say that he was one of the ones who assaulted me. but, before this happened to me, at that party, i saw brett kavanaugh there. >> well, i saw -- i saw him giving red solo cups to quite a few girls. there was green punch at those parties and i would not take one of those glasses from mark kavanaugh -- brett kavanaugh, excuse me. i saw him around the punch -- i won't say bowls or the punch containers. i don't know what he did. but i saw him by them. brian: he was in line to gang rape people. then turns out huddled by doors. ainsley: kate snow said you said lines. >> no, i don't know if it was a line. brian: i know william rehnquist would not hand out solo cups. so there is a difference. steve: the part about all those other allegations, the gang rape and that he had

spiked -- that he personally had spiked along with mark judge the punch, that was all in sworn testimony that the senate had last week and that's what they were -- that's what was submitted and now that's why the people are saying she is walking it back because she has changed her story. brian: here it is, steve. did not actually see them spike the punch with alcohol. ainsley: standing around and passing out red solo consumption. i'm not saying nothing happened to her. we don't know that but to accuse someone of this and to say in sworn testimony this, this, and, this and then to go on camera and have a different story, this is someone's life we are talking about. he can't just accuse someone of that and then change your story. now, when we all watched him in the hearing and we watched dr. ford. everyone thought dr. ford was believable. he was believable. we all walked away saying it's he said, she said. who is telling the truth? what's the real story here? maybe we will never even know. there is no evidence. when brett kavanaugh was asked about that lady right there, he goes it's a farce. i don't even know this lady. and that, i believed. and then when we heard her

speak last night in the interview, and you see all the holes in her story and then you hear from her ex-boyfriend who says she loves to sue, very wil litigious, can't be trusted. she is fixed on lawsuits. listen to what he said on laura ingraham's show. >> not that i know of. she was always want being be to the center of attention. always do something major. impress me with everything. exaggerating everything. if anybody knows julie i know because i lived with her. everything that came out of her mouth was just exaggerations and she never mentioned that to me at all and something i was very surprised to hear this. actually i was actually surprise stood see her making these accusations because she had never ever mentioned that to me at all. for any minor issues that we had, she will always get into my face. and the first time i feyed that oh my god this is incredible. she would get right in my face and she would say hit me, hit me, richard, hit me.

and then she would say something like remember what happened to my ex-boyfriend. i would just walk away. brian: this is where we stand. if you were the fbi, you have to decide if you are going to interview her. then you have to decide mark judge the answer is yes. talked to mark judge yesterday, one of his best friends who has all these other problems. they didn't finish up. now, mark judge has a high school girlfriend. okay. now that high school girlfriend wants to talk about the mark judge she knows. really? is the fbi obligated to go talk to mark judge's former girlfriend from high school? this is where debbie ramirez some other people are witnesses do. they have to go beyond when debra ramirez is in black and white in the new yorker saying i drank so much i blacked out long periods and i had to think a week to make sure that the brett kavanaugh was brett kavanaugh. if you are the fbi, are you obligated to you go downtown list of the people that came out? also a wonder are there

people at yale that went toe school at brett kavanaugh that are not conservatives? and don't want to see a conservative on the court who might all of a sudden safe i saw brett kavanaugh drunk and doing irresponsible things? steve: it's up to the fbi to decide where to go. brian: they say they take their lead from the president. steve: the cover of the no, says place your bretts. 86% of g.o.p. women back him. according to a new poll. brian: mcconnell came out very aggressively we're voting this week. steve: going to vote this week he says. ainsley: judge napolitano doesn't think that's going to happen. steve: meanwhile as we said the fbi talking to witnesses in its probably of judge kavanaugh. our next guest, former fbi special agent says that can only help the judge. he will explain why next. brian: and former president obama just endorsed 260 democrats for the mid terms. one big name that didn't make the cut.

when were you first introduced to brett kavanaugh? how did you know it was brett kavanaugh? what was his -- the introduction? was it a good friend that was dating his best friend? were you dating his best friend? i know there was some intersection between their circles of friends. we need to get deeper into this to find out how does she know who brett kavanaugh is. she is making accusations it's decades later she identifies him. that's pretty vague in my view. brian: not even clear if they are going to talk to dr. ford again. not clear if they are going to talk to swetnick again at all. it's not clear how far they will go. with debra ramirez, they spoke to her, the new yorker second accuser. she has recommended they talk to other people. and then you look at democrats i wants to you talk to 23 people. when do you stop following the branches? >> you stop following the branches when you get to a dead one. in other words, if they talk to ramirez friend and she doesn't allow any information to come forward that corroborates ramirez story at all, that branch

kind of ends. did you go off on other directions, swetnick her allegations seem so incredible that i believe the fbi doesn't think there is any credibility to it. and after the interview last night it, seems there is no credibility at all. brian: when i get my report, tim, bowers the president gets his report and grassley gets his report and judiciary committee gets their report. what will i get? will i get summaries after every interview and the fbi agent's observations and conclusions? >> what you will get is what's known as fd 302s. it's a compilation. fbi's agent's recollection of the interview. and so the fbi agent's words will be in there. but there are not going to be any judgments on this. the person said this about this at this time. and these are the facts as presented to me. brian: which makes me wonder why you think it could help brett kavanaugh when everyone is going to interpret this differently. >> well, the reason i think it could help him is if there aren't more facts that are brought forward from

these interviews, that actually corroborate these allegations, then the innocent is still innocent. you know, if it was flipped the other way and we were in the soviet union where the innocent don't have to be proven guilty but have to be prove their own innocence, that's a different story. in this case if you can't prove guilt. is he still innocent. brian: unless you are chris coons that's the way you like it. you have to prove your innocence. tim, we will see how this goes. >> thank you, brian. brian: breaking news from amazon that impact hundreds of thousands of workers. plus this? anti-kavanaugh activists berating mitch mcconnell at the airport. he says that will not stop him from voting. shouldn't the vote happen this week as mitch promised? cailee mcenany and jessica tarlov will have different points of view on that standing next to that painting. ♪ why don't you just meet me in thehe middle ♪

jillian: good morning. back with a fox news alert first lady leamp arriving in ghana for first stop on week long journey through africa. spreading the message for be best campaign for children. the first lady also making stops in kenya and egypt. first solo trip overseas. another fox news alert now. amazon is raising its minimum wage for all u.s. workers to $15 an hour. the company just announcing starting next month more than 350,000 full time and part time seasonal will see pay increase. criticism was not paying. start lobbying for the federal minimum wage. former president barack obama is backing democratic darling alexandria ocasio-cortez along with 260 other democrats.

obama originally left alexandria ocasio-cortez off the list during his first round of endorsements. texas democrat bait toe o'rourke who is challenging ted cruz for his senate seat is still' not on his list. there is a look at your headlines. i will send it down to steve. steve: anti-brett kavanaugh activists berating republicans in an attempt to stop the vote on a supreme court nominee. look at. this mr. mcconnell, we know you respect -- >> walk away, ma'am. >> are you assaulting me? excuse me, am i being assaulted right now? >> why are you putting your hands on her. >> senator mcconnell do you always turn your back on women like this. steve: despite that harassment mitch mcconnell vows the vote will go on this week. >> the goal posts keep shifting. but the goal hasn't moved an inch, not an inch. the goal has been the same all along and so, let me make it very clear: the time for endless delay and

obstruction has come to a close. we will be voting this week. steve: after they get the information from the fbi. so is it time to vote on brett kavanaugh? here to debate we have spokesperson for the rnc kailey mcenany and fox news contributor jessica tarlov. i have a feeling you don't agree on this. jessica, after the fbi submits their investigation where they go out and interview all these people, will it be time to vote? >> i think it will be time to vote then as long as they are permitted obviously by the white house to interview as many people as they see fit. it seems like president trump is on that page from his impromptu remarks yesterday. steve: the white house has said interview anyone you want be done by friday. >> the ntsb report from yesterday that it shows that brett kavanaugh actually now is about debra ramirez's allegations before the new yorker story which contradicts his testimony from last week. steve: allegation. >> another allegation against him.

hopefully the woman who comes forward kelli benchman says she has reached out to the fbi twice and haven't gotten back to her. make sure the fbi is covering every single lead. after the report comes back absolutely it's time for a vote. steve: you know, kayleigh, it looks as if some of these activists who are not pro-kavanaugh people have been very effective. they were able to corner jeff flake. now they have cornered michigan mcconnell out at the airport. what do you think about that particular kind of tactic? >> i can tell you this, there is one person nowft be intimidated and it is mitch mcconnell. is he subject to these kind of protests, crazy protests all the time on immigration and other issues. as you said with the immigration protest, this is not about persuasion. this is about intimidation. this is the democratic party of maxine waters. it's a ridiculous tactic for these activists to be in an airport yelling that the republican party is the party of pro-rape. give me a break. and one of these activists was thrusting herself next to one of the agents by mitch mcconnell and yelling that he assaulted her.

my god so i'm going to continue. steve: you really focus on paul's writings? >> right. six of paul's 1 13 13 ebusiness epistles. weighs converted on the damascus road evangelical just. he went through the roman empire and wrote letter to them giving them instruction on what they should do and how they ought not stay divided and be a community for christ. and these letters, these epistles are great theological treatises that give us the meat of christian yangt. steve: great new book, jesus is risen. david limbaugh, thank you for being in new york. >> thank you. steve: straight ahead, the mother of a boy attacked by a great white shark is speaking out. why she says it is a miracle that he is alive today. what impact could the kavanaugh battle have on the mid terms? our next guest is a former democrat turned conservative, he says the left's behavior turned into

eyes to their dishonesty. you know, i actually think he is a really amazing president. i think the people in this country who support him are really good people but they have gotten a bad shake from the liberal media. ainsley: do you think there are other people feel the way do you and just being quiet about it people were too afraid to say they were supporting the president. >> this is what i say all the time in the campaign is that it is time for the silent majority to become unsilent. that he was really what's happening with the walk away campaign testimonial campaign and people are creating their testimonials and finding their courage to speak their truth for the first time. created a network of support. we have a walk away march in washington national of solidarity. ainsley: walk away from the democratic party and support us. >> absolutely. ainsley: patty wrote this two time obama voter. i not only walked away from the dems, i have run away as of today based on what i saw happen to kavanaugh. i am appalled by the behavior of our so-called leaders. and yams wrote this

liberal press can't quite go there. things like the new york times refusing to the print the debbie ramirez story, we interviewed dozens of people. can't find any corroboration. nbc said julie swetnick we tried to corroborate her story. things she said in the interview that differed from what she said previously. despite the fact he has some real points there, i'm impressed there are moments that some of this, become so blatant. the these are partisan attacks. there is not a lot of there there. said earlier we're talking about now, what his friend did at a fight in college and somehow that is a reason to malign someone's reputation and destroy their career. this is really getting ridiculous. brian: you know what? the president has been remarkably constrained. he likes to tyke on every fight whether rosie o'donnell, or justin trudeau.

here is sitting back. it is genius. the president is baiting them constantly. the white house given the fbi permission to expand its probe of kavanaugh. they will not just go over general drinking. i'm curious what they will get done. i'm impressed the speed they got through the emails. found on weiner's laptop. impresses the guy you're familiar with, supreme court justice thomas. so now, how quick can they get through this? >> well, remember, i love how the mcconnell put it, if you listen closely you can hear the goalposts moving. originally we have to have a hearing. outrageous we need a hearing. we had the hearing. we have to have fbi investigation. they're so pre professional and even-handed they can do it like that. senator coons, said give us a week. great we give you a week. democrats say artificial deadline. won't take long to go through it. they're very professional. they have all the witnesses in front of them.

brian: mcconnell will push for this week. carrie thanks so much. todd piro having "breakfast with friends" in tennessee. we check in with him for last time today.

[booing] brian: so what do tennesseans have to say about that? steve: let's check in with todd piro who is having breck was with friends as we see from the aerial view from the bing satellite. he is in johnson city, tennessee. >> it has been amazing all morning long. continues now. unbelievable opinions. let's begin with heather. you watched the speech, thought it was amazing, when it comes to

brett kavanaugh you call it a witch-hunt, why? >> i think would have done this to any candidate and democrats have agenda, they will try to block any condition date he puts up. >> abby, you also loved speech, but like heather you say he is being treated horribly, why? >> he already had six fbi investigations that we know were intense. time to let him do a job. he has done a great job. let his record prove for who he is. >> abby. thank you. owen, you were at the speech, you said the speech made you proud to be an american, now? >> i am not a trump fan, when i voted for him, he was under my skin. last night his speech was professional, polished. he made me proud to be an american. made me proud to say i voted for him. >> owen. thank you. kim you were at the speech, you thought it was awesome. like the ladies you say kavanaugh is being treated horribly. why? >> they are taking him to the gutter and crucifying him. that's horrible to see it

happen. >> finally jean. you were at the speech. you love the speech. you love the fact that the president referenced the military. that was especially poignant to you. yesterday was your late husband's birthday. he was a vietnam veteran. was so special to you, why? >> he was a trump supporter. trump is doing so much for our military and the va affairs. he is doing great. >> understood. before we go, i took a little poll before, who here in this diner right now was in the military or is related to somebody in the military? take a look at that show of hands. this is a america, folks. the folks here in this diner made sacrifices or related to those made sacrifices. this is why we have what we have. back to you guys in new york. steve: todd piro live at the diner in johnson city, tennessee. very nice. ainsley: democrats finished part of their investigation into that guy right there, democrat keith

in the dunk tank. brian: see him at night, 8:00 eastern time, he came from this show. ainsley: tucker started here. brian: very excited for your book out, called, "ship of fools." first things first. i've been dying to ask you. i watched you on cnn on crossfire, very serious situations. you know in four hours on "fox & friends," you're serious, you're fun, conversational, what did that do for you being in that format? how different was it? >> it was like boot camp. it broke down my dignity and rebuilt it. you know what i mean? became a completely different person. i never did a dunk tank on "crossfire." brian: total shame. >> total shame. total sincerity the hard etf show to host ever been, "fox & friends." steve: why? >> duration, time, range of stuff. you go from talking about the things at the very center of the national conversation to cooking. brian: cooking.

we'll have to pay attention. we'll elect someone you didn't expect, donald trump. by the way, what happened? people in charge completely ignored the lesson. refused to learn anything. continued to attack voters even more. ainsley: who in particular is in the ship? >> look, would say the people who made critical decisions on foreign policy and our economic policy and by the way our social policy over the past 30 years. you know who exactly they are. include many leaders of the republican party. almost the entire democratic party. by the way a lot of our business leaders who, profited, look, the problem is, the middle class and the country became a minority in 2015. nobody even noticed. it wasn't a news story. yet it was the critical shift of my lifetime. you can't have a democracy in a country that doesn't have a middle class majority and nobody cared! brian: he is redoing trade agreements. he is deciding not to get involved in conflicts it is beginning to build up the middle class. what you saw yesterday in the morning, rocketed up everyone's 401(k)s redoing nafta,

manufacturing left, workers no longer had a place to go. we might pay a little more for automobiles but have a reason to build things again. >> all that matters is the average person in the country feels like he is vested in the system. brian: or she. >> using grammatically correct pronunciation, of course. the point he or she could, feel like my life is getting better, my effort is paying off. my kids have a shot at a better life than i do. the average 22-year-old knows he or she will not make what his or her parents made. that is a disaster. you have to fix that. brian: liberal party, the democratic party has changed. you're not criticizing democrats. what you see now on the left really concerns you, because different than anything you see. >> it is terrifying. i grew up around liberals and california and washington, d.c., believed in free speech, due process and colorblindness. exact same people crush speech, deny due process, tell us the

most important thing about people is their dna and skin color. mirror image the way they were. it is terrifying and orwellian, threat to all of us, liberal and conservative. we should honestly speak up every time they challenge the basic american values. ainsley: you grew up in the d.c. area. raidsraised your kids in the area. brett kavanaugh, talk about him, we've gone from women accusing him of sexual assault not having any evidence, now questioning his friends at parties at bars. one guy says he had ice thrown on him with brett kavanaugh. this is the headline in "the new york times" this morning. kavanaugh was questioned by police after bar fight in 1985. they're going back to the '80s? >> i wish they told me that. i would have never supported him. questioned by police in 1985 throwing ice on somebody? it is over, man. this is the problem with so much of coverage, no self awareness at all. guy writing headline, kavanaugh questioned by police in 1985

or not. steve: asking people. brian: "new york times" walked away from that story but that could sink a supreme court justice, do you understand that? >> democrats don't control the senate actually last i checked. republicans, if i levy one criticism of them, they're too literal. they play along. it is lucy and the football. democrats acting in utterly bad faith. every person watching carefully know that. republicans responding this is not serious. he is a sitting federal judge. issued scores of opinions. brian: 309. >> thank you. if you disagree with reasoning or constitutional analysis tell me. don't tell me about a single word about his college drinking. it is stupid, irrelevant, i'm not playing along. that is what republican senators ought to be saying. steve: republican senators do not do which is the democrat senators do, stick together. >> exactlily. steve: republicans you have three or four -- >> they're not doing, this is what my book is about, they're not protecting their own voters. democrats wake up we're

representing people voted for us because they want something specific, in their case power. republicans are representing people who are reviled by almost everyone who actually has power. middle class is hated. they're not standings up for and defending their people. what is that? by people, by the way i'm talking about socioeconomic class not talking about ethnic group or identity politics garbage. i'm talking about people in the center of our economy. those people are hated by everyone in hollywood and finance. the republicans should be their protectors and they're not. steve: the brand new book comes out today, "ship of fools." back on the couch. >> i'm going. brian: see you on radio, but will you do the show from new york? >> all week. i love it. it is the big apple, man. eight million people. eight million stories love it. you particularly also your friends. ainsley: you're such a liar. brian: she is definitely the

brian: now i have a real job. ainsley: fox business network's susan li joins us with the latest. is this good news or bad news? >> it is great news, especially when amazon employs 250,000 across the u.s. it is for 100,000 they will hire for seasonal period as well. this is for everybody, full-time, temporary, part time as well. now the question is, is this something that amazon did willingly? brian: no. >> if you look at bipartisan issue they have been getting it from the left and been getting it from the right. this comes after bernie sanders introduced what they call the bezos act. tax big companies like amazon, walmart, mcdonalds for every dollar the employees take in federal assistance. $300 in food stamps, they will tax them $300 for the companies. this is going to be a big deal. do the comparison. $15 an hour, compare to the federal minimum wage, 7.25 an hour. compare that to the average retail wage, excluding

supervisors, $13 an hour. include the supervisors, 1dollars an hour. brian: here is the thing, susan. you wonder it will come out in the things we buy? will amazon pass it on to us? >> right. brian: do we realize profits they're making and doing right by their employees? >> we live in a great capitalist system, if they raise prices do we buy on website, lose revenue or sales? i'm not sure they want that. amazon can afford. crossed a trillion dollars in a market cap. second company in the world to do that. jeff bezos is worth $164 billion. ainsley: i think because of us. all those boxes on our front door. do you think people, are people willing to pay a little more products if they buy them on allison if they would having to go to the store and might be cheaper at walmart and target? >> we did price comparisons. depends what you're buying on amazon. some prices are cheaper. they're offering in bulk and wholesale pricing. some are more expensive.

you have to pay for delivery. brian: i love for the fact they're opening up stores, retail is not dead. even amazon gone to retail. >> whole foods. brian: absolutely. susan, thanks so much. meanwhile coming up straight ahead, look who is in our green room? steve's wife, kathy, coauthor of "the happy cookbook." so is tucker carlson looking for a free book. will he ever pay for anything. ainsley: bill hemmer, tucker has a book out. steve has a book out. you're next. >> like amazon.com out there, aren't you? brian: absolutely. >> congratulations, steve. looking forward to see our life. tucker always entertaining. where are we in the kavanaugh confirmation? everything you need to know coming up next. big trade deal. larry kudlow from the white house tells us why it matters to you. president trump racking up the political rallies. where he is going and why. sandra and i see you in 12 minutes, guys come see us on america's news room. we'll see you then.
