"outnumbered" starts right now. >> harris: fox news alert, all eyes right now on the fbi as the investigation against judge kavanaugh could end as early as today. the senate closes in on a confirmation vote for the president's supreme court nominee. majority leader mitch mcconnell vowing no more delays. this is outnumbered, and i melissa francis. here today is harris faulkner, fox news contributor lisa boothe, host of the intelligence report on the fox business network, trish regan, and joining us on the couch, former communications director for senator harry reid, democratic strategist and founder of summers strategies, jon summers. he is outnumbered. >> welcome! >> jon: thank you, good to be

here! >> harris: harry harry reid, ts will be interesting. a >> jon: [laughs] is a great guy! speak of the pink tie looks fabulous. we are off to a good start. >> jon: thank you! >> i will see see you all late, then! >> melissa: sit still, here we go. the fbi could complete its probe as early as today, as senators decide how to proceed on the confirmation. mitch mcconnell send by his promise to hold a vote on the floor this week. accusing democrats of plotting to delay the process. minority leader chuck schumer says that's false. >> our democratic colleagues have made it abundantly clear that they will never, ever be satisfied. the senate will vote on this nomination this week. >> the majority leader knows, he knows, that it was republicans who caused him to delay.

everyone, everyone, everyone, including the majority leader himself, knows that kavanaugh is a deeply flawed candidate. >> melissa: meanwhile, president trump last night ramping up his criticism of dr. ford, questioning her allegations against judges kavanaugh and the commander-in-chief tweeting this today. "i see it each time i go out to rallies, in order to help some of our great republican candidates. voters are really angry at the vicious and despicable way democrats are treating brett kavanaugh. he and his wonderful family deserve much better." john roberts has more on this. it john? >> good afternoon to you. the president getting some blowback for members of his own party after that rally in mississippi last night. the president defending judge kavanaugh, taking the opportunity to point out some inconsistencies in christina blasey ford's story and testimony before the judiciary committee. but the outwardly mocking tone with which he did it left some crucial members of his own party

with misgivings about what he said, and not just how he said it. >> "i had one beer!" well, do think it was -- "no, it was one beer!" how did you get home? i don't remember. how did you get there? i don't remember. where was the place? i don't remember. where how many years ago was it? i don't know. i don't know! what neighborhood was that in question are gotta know. where's the house? i don't know. upstairs, downstairs, where was it? i don't know. but i had one beer! >> retiring arizona senator jeff flake a critical swing vote on the confirmation, and the senator who prompted supplemental fbi investigation into judge kavanaugh, was outraged by those comments. as was another crucial swing vote, the main senator, susan collins. listen here. >> there is no time and no place for remarks like that. to discuss something this sensitive foot, at a political

rally, is just -- it's just not right. it's not right. i wish he hadn't have done it. it's kind of a folly. >> the president's comments were just plain wrong. >> at the same time, all of this is going on, the judiciary chairman chuck grassley's pointing to a sworn statement from christine blasey ford's former boyfriend who says she was not afraid of flying, had no fear of closed or confined spaces, and helped prepare a friend to possibly take a polygraph test which directly contradicted what she told the committee. >> have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test? >> never. >> the fbi has got until friday to complete the investigation. it could be delivered as soon as it's afternoon. nobody is really quite sure. they have talked to a number of witnesses, including kavanaugh's friends marked judge and chris garrett, who also dated christine blasey ford for a time during high school. they also have interviewed ft.'s

friend that we live keyser. if they are going to interview ford and/or kavanaugh, it might be that they rely on the sworn testimony before the senate because there was hours of that. jeff flake, who was a crucial swing vote here, after saying that he be prepared to vote for kavanaugh after a full fbi investigation, is now saying "well, i want to look at who the interview before making up their mind." if he files a motion today, we could get a vote on saturday. that would be the earliest it could take place. >> melissa: right now the earliest it could happen a saturday, no matter what? >> correct. mitch mcconnell has to file the motion for closure of according to senate rules, and there's a certain amount of time after that. that kicks it back to saturday. >> very interesting, john roberts. thank you for that report. let me bring it to the couch. so much to dig into, john. really, from political point of view, for me what point of view, all that matters is what that matter

moderate republican base thinks of. jeff flake has been true to his name with the back-and-forth from day one. what is your bet on what happened? >> jon: he is a little bit, and we can expect for him to vote in favor of moving out because he will probably say "it will only be right to have the debate, so let's hear them out and let everyone have an opportunity to talk about that." and what will really matter is actually how he votes when it comes to a final vote. >> melissa: do you think you will let murkowski and collins go for us, and that gives them some safety? also puts him in a position of pressure? >> jon: it's a great question. they are altogether. the difficult thing here is the lack of transparency. mcconnell said yesterday "we are not going to release the fbi report. we are not going to let everyone see what came out of it." the democrats are asking for a briefing from the fbi, and their findings help them better understand what they got out of it. right now, mcconnell is saying no. if you want people to believe in

this process, it's got to be a transparent one. >> melissa: has been completely political. what people see from the outside, every part of it on the republican side and holding mary marek garlington said, it's all political. >> jon: it start out that way, but in this particular case, they said they're not going to let them sail the documents. >> they turned over more documents than any other supreme court nominee before. center dianne feinstein, we set on these allegations for weeks and then chose to weaponized them at the 11th hour. that is not true. jeff flake has the most appropriate last name is anyone i've ever known. the reality is, it's ridiculous that we've even gotten to play that there was a hearing based on allegations. or in fbi desiccation based on the allegations. could you go through each one, none of them has credibility whatsoever. the only thing consistent about her story is that it has been

inconsistent. you go through it, originally it was mid 1980s, and then somehow she narrowed it down to the summer of 1982. her polygraph letter alone gives two different accounts of how many people were there. then you go to the most recent things that don't add up, she lied about her fear of flying, turns out she flies across country every single year. she has flown to hawaii, costa rica, french polynesia. >> harris: those are really long flights. >> lisa: also, you look at what was recently revealed by good investigative work which should've been done weeks ago when this first came out, the whole lie about the second door. "i had to go to marriage counseling because my husband and i got into the fight because of the trauma of experience. i needed a second exit." turned out it was a business deal. they create a whole other room that needed a second entrance for renters and for a marriage counselor. none of it adds up. >> do you think it's one big lie? for political purposes? she doesn't want to see him in court? >> lisa: i think we should not be making this on an ocean. yes, she was emotional in front

of 20 million people. that does not mean she is credible. we should look at the totality of the facts, and they don't add up, to back up her story whatsoever. i find it terrifying that we have gotten to this point and she has remained unquestioned by the media. and has been through a conference before. >> jon: she's also unquestioned by the fbi. >> she did three hours of testimony, what left is there to say? she said it all. >> harris: i would step in and say this. a lot of what lisa said, we have learned from -- at least the latter part -- from the fbi investigation. or at least what is being leaked or talk about that's coming out of it. which is ironic, right? because democrat said that's what they wanted. they wanted an investigation. it has been this whole thing about the testimony in front of the hearing where dr. ford said she never coached anybody on how to take a lie detector test,

juxtaposed from what we are learning now. in the fbi investigation, supposedly, reportedly, that there is a conflict there. i think it's ironic that democrats -- they wanted an investigation, which, by the way, is the right thing to do if we look at history to tell us how we move on from these points. right? so it makes sense. but there may be things that come out for both of these individuals that still helps either side retreat to their corners. the fbi's job is not to give us a result. it's possible that we will get information about somebody lying or somebody this -- it will only help people become more entrenched. which means we will probably see a vote by friday, if you look at it that way. >> i think that's optimistic view. i'm fearful that this will go on and on and on. and that there will be delays. i think there are a lot of people that are so invested in this that want to actually see this as a midterm issue.

right customer gets went to be an issue no matter what. obviously. regardless of what happens. but there might be -- some people, even i could say on both sides, melissa, that actually would be interested in seeing this side of the issue. are you going to motivate your evangelical base to get out to the polls, because they want to see a conservative there on the court. you are also going to motivate folks on the left. that may be, said to say as we talk about politics as usual, part of the -- >> thinking speaking motivate,s using it at the rally hit last night. here's lindsey graham reacting to that. >> whether you like it or not, i really don't care. here is the point -- i have seen what happened to these women. in 1998, they came forward. i don't like with the president said last night. i'm the first person to say i want to hear from dr. ford. i thought she was handled respectfully. i thought cavanagh was treated like crap [boos]

yeah, well, boo yourself. [laughter] >> melissa: it's divisive on every side. jon, do you think this is how it goes from now on? >> jon: i hope not. i hope, again, when he talked about the transparency of the fbi, it's not really an investigation. they have bare report. i hope that gives us some clarity. i think we need to believe women. we need to take these allegations seriously. and we need to hold people accountable, whether he is guilty of doing what she says -- i understand, but i think it all comes back to the information. everybody's making this accusation that it's all politically motivated. we have to remember, she came forward with these concerns well before he was the nominee. when he was on the list -- [crosstalk] she didn't know that it was going to be him. >> harris: a democrat congresswoman, who did nothing with it. she sat on it for just long enough, and i don't know what just long enough it is by the way. add that long enough, plus the other long enough, and it was

just long enough to get us to the 11th hour. by the way, in this #metoo moment, you got women making decisions for another woman. when this is settled, i need we have to come back to that you part of the conversation, jon, and talk about who owns that power. >> jon: i think that support, and i think we have to be careful before we -- >> it's wrong, though. they are doing a supplement a background check, which is essentially -- >> harris: the president calls and number seven. >> is a supplemental background check. the same thing they did was clarence thomas. it's routine, and we probably won't find out the results of that because it's also -- >> here's the -- >> lisa: i want to add this. >> the absolute have shown her no respect. the reality is, if this woman is at the point -- >> harris: that's the point i was making. >> she's being victimized again. if that we alleges happened. all over again. it was silenced by the democrat democrats.

senator booker, kamala harris, they get on their soapbox. saying "i believe you." and by the way, this administers and is awful. they never let her spoke. she's being victimized all over again. if this is exactly happen. >> melissa: we have to go. deputy general rod rosenstein said that he wants to secretly record president trump and try to remove him from office, according to a bombshell report. he designs all of that. whether or not he will be fired amid the probe. "the new york times" reports that the president did tax schemes in the 90s for a financial benefit. whether it will be damaging, or whether he will it win the anor battle with the media? >> most of them, that i can tell you. fake news. ♪ >> tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about?

>> this is being denied by his attorney, his press secretary, and by him. they are just trying to goad the president deceiving them so they can get his tax return. haven't they learned yet that president trump always gets the last laugh and the upper hand in all of this? >> melissa: the white house pushing back on a "new york tim" report alleging that president trump helped his

parents evaded millions of dollars in taxes during the 1990s. the report scrutinizes fred trump 'his business empire. that's the president's father. have you transferred assets to his children, saying in part "mr. trump won the presidency proclaiming self to make himself a self-made billionaire. he said his father provided almost no help." the times are investigation said that he received the equivalent today of millions of dollars from the empire, starting when he was a toddler and continuing to this day. president trump also blessing a report, much reading this. "the feeling "new york times" did something i've never seen done before. they use the concept of time and value of money in doing a very old, boring, and often-told hit piece on me. added up, this means that 97% of their stories on me are bad. never recovered from bad election call!" david lee millet's life with us in new york in their news and

with legs on this. >> "the new york times" report not only disputes his claim that he'd turned a million dollar loan from his father into a $10 billion empire, but it alleges that he used questionable means to avoid paying taxes. the times report ghosts so far as to say that much of the money came to mr. trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. he and his siblings shut up sham corporations to discuss millions of dollars in gifts from their parents and interviews. the paper says much of it was set up to avoid gift and inheritance taxes, and according to tax experts, methods were improper or possibly illegal. one section of the story says, and i quote, "by each 3, mr. trump was earning $200,000 a year in today's dollars from his father's empire. he was a millionaire by age 8, and by the time he was 17 his father had given him ownership of a 52-unit apartment

building." the paper says the article is based on interviews with former employees and advisors of the president's father, as well as 100,000 pages of documents, including 200 pages of tax returns from a fred trump's business interests. the report did not rely on president trump's tax returns, which mr. trump has declined to release. a spokesman for the new york state department of taxation says the agency is now reviewing the allegations in the times article and is vigorously pursuing all appropriate avenues of investigation. the white house, in a statement, said the irs reviewed and signed off on the transactions, adding "perhaps another apology from "the new york times," like the one they had to issue after they got the 2016 election so embarrassingly wrong, is in order." the president's lawyer, he has called the allegations a fraud and tax evasion. again, quoting, 100% false. harris? >> harris: david lee miller, thanks. i will go to trish first,

because you had a question. >> trish: yeah, i'm wondering -- if he was three years old making $200,000 a yea year, how somehow he managed -- one brilliant 3-year-old, right? >> i would have loved that. [laughter] it >> trish: it's presents unfairly by "the new york times." they would be going after the parents. there would be single because it was the father who was doing this improper accounting." but the reality is, i think the story has been out there for some time. it has always been disputed, how much money did he inherit or not inherit. the truth is, harris, no one cares. >> harris: i want to step in for one second, melissa, to take you on point on that. because this story is 40 plus years old, and it would be posthumously, unfortunately for the president's father. so what's the point? if that's where the true look was, was a point of doing it now? >> to goad him into giving over his tax records? i don't know.

i think we are in an environment where everything you can find, anything you can develop on this president or anyone associated with him, is golden. >> harris: i want to ask you, money melissa, which is what we call you sometimes. [laughter] how is it that you can -- value of the money of a 3-year-old? how does that work out? >> melissa: actually, i don't think any of that matters, because all of these are so enormous whether they are in today's dollars are yesterday's dollars or 1800s dollars. was interesting to me is, i read the article -- i went "how in the world that they know this information? who would have this?" you had to have stolen the files, or be someone who was working on it. that's when i immediately came to the idea that, if he screams or has a lawsuit, they are going to say "well, exculpatory evidence. if they had over your tax returns." a big hat tip to "the new york times," because i

think that the exact tract they are trying to play with this article by putting out there what they are hearing and hearsay for people who supposedly work with him. the only way he can challenge it is to turn over his tax documents, which is what they want. but no one cares. >> harris: jon, you and i have never met before. something you should know about me is that i often say, to democrats in particular, that y'all like to jump the shark a lot. this is one time where you are not hearing a drumbeat from democrats is much as you normally would. maybe because they are teeing off right now and what's happening on the kavanaugh fron. what should they be doing in their lane, at this point? a 40-year-old case, basically involving the president's fathe father. >> jon: i think they continue to keep the eye on the ball, continue to watch kavanaugh, keep their eye on the ball for issues that matter to the american people, like health care. which is one of the number one voting issues coming up in the midterm election. i think that's the most important piece. with respect for people caring

about something that's more than 40 years old, i don't think it really does matter. >> harris: were at a juncture that we care about something that old, already. >> jon: i don't know that people care specifically about that number is or what happens. i think we care about what the truth is pray that's a problem we have with this president. regardless of where you sit on the poetical spectrum, i think there is broad agreement across the country that this is a president who has a passing familiarity with the truth. i happen to believe he lies a lot. some people happen to believe that he might lie a little bit. the problem is, he's the president of the united states. he's the one setting the example for our children. you should live up to a higher standard. we can it have accountability in the white house, but at some pot it matters that this president has -- >> harris: you know it would just oppose all of that, though? if that's where you sit? how can you better the economy that it already has? what's a answer in november or 2020? if you ask most americans -- and

i have recently -- the answer back is "just make my life better and different than what it has been." and they don't care about a lot of this stuff that you don't have subtheme evidence for, but if you like the president isn't telling the truth. >> jon: it's been proven, though, harris, that he is not told the truth on many occasion occasions. hold on, he has talked about -- >> harry reid had traveled with the truth. he lied about things and felt no remorse. >> harry reid had trouble with the truth, he lied about it and had no remorse. "the new york times" has trouble with the truth. they ran the fake piece about nikki haley, turns out it was the obama administration the head ordered these curtains, not her. also, they were the ones that ran the byline with an anti-trumpet activist in the story about this bar fight and ice throwing, like anybody cares about that. i think those guys have trouble with the truth.

>> jon: those are all great whataboutisms. harry reid is not the president of the united states. "the new york times" is not the president of the united states. it also matters what brett kavanaugh says when he is testifying in front of them. >> and he has been truthful. >> jon: he's been caught in many inconsistencies. absolutely. >> lisa: when nbc removes things they said to make it look one way. >> jon: i happen to watch the whole thing. >> lisa: i did, too. i watched her three hours which is why she does need to speak to the fbi. >> harris: jon summers, welcome to "outnumbered"! >> harris: we will move on and come back. hillary clinton lashing out at this me the spring court nominee now. why she is laughing at judge kavanaugh's claim that the accusations against him are part of a campaign of political revenge by the clintons. plus, rod rosenstein's fate up in there after an explosive report that he wanted you secretly record the president.

recording the president and using the 25th amendment to remove him from office. rosenstein has denied that report, and his interview with house republicans is set for next thursday. some republicans also plan on questioning the doj's number two over the department's handling of the clinton email case and the trumpet russia probe. meanwhile, a former doj official involved in both of those investigations is again lashing out at the president. fired fbi director james comey telling a packed house in baltimore "i don't think the president is mentally competent. i think he is morally incompetent to be president." well, there you go. he really doesn't mince words, trish. >> trish: no, he really doesn't like him. this is the same rhetoric we hear over and over again, right, melissa? that somehow this president is so flawed that he's not worthy of any positive adjectives, shall we say, from any member of the left. or respects. this is not even unusual, if you

think about how republicans are traditionally, and conservatives, painted. they're sort of a "lousy person." or perhaps "not of upstanding moral character." or somehow you are racist, or a misogynist. the sexes. islam a foe but. this is how it they are paged over and over again. with this particular president, it has gone to the nice degree. i don't think you ever thought it possible. >> melissa: will he bring it back to the rosenstein issue here, harris, when you try and dissect relationship everybody assumes that the present was about to fire him. but if you look at different things, for example, like -- rosenstein is the person who cultivated kavanaugh, brought him in, helped select him. he was there when the hearings began. honestly said, maybe it's possible that it's a wrong read on their relationship. maybe they've gotten cozy. >> harris: if you look at this

in its totality, rosenstein plays a role in the investigation with bob mueller. remember what's happening when the conversation was "as the president going to fire rosenstein?" a couple things have changed. you've got james comey, calling into local public radio saying that he thinks investigation is in the fourth quarter. just today it's being reported that, again, mueller is letting go of some of his attorneys on the investigation. that seems like it might be wrapping up. so i go after rosenstein if you don't have to, politically? you know it's going to hurt you. i give the president a lot of credit, because he and his team have to be looking at us and saying "wait a minute. if we let this play out, this is really interesting. mueller is not letting people go because he doesn't like them." remember which team many of them on. right customer politically cost mark reportedly. >> melissa: jon, i see you nodding your head to that. >> jon: i have a hard time believing that he's going to fire rosenstein. it does make a lot of political sense. i think he would decide what he saying now, that he wants to let kavanaugh out. he would do it now while

kavanaugh is playing out, because there be such a great clutter of news. >> melissa: that's a great point. >> harris: agreed. i saw you nodding when i brought up the attorney. they're going home. >> jon: that's right, it does appear as though they are winding down. what winding down means, i don't know exactly. i don't know how many attorneys they have. but it seems like it is starting to wind down just a little bit. >> lisa: we have a moment of agreement. [laughter] >> harris: kumbaya? >> lisa: and fired up this week, so i apologize, yell. your nice guy, i talked to in the greener before this. first of all, james comey, bye-bye. regarding rosenstein i would agree. i don't think present trip is going to fire him, nor do i think it's the best move politically. however, i do have a problem with him, because he was the guy who laid out the beautiful case for firing james comey. president trump listened, fired him, and then rosenstein appointed a special counsel as part of an obstruction of justice. i have a problem with that.

it does make sense to me. >> melissa: maybe one day we will understand all the detail.

i mean, really customer gas. it deserves a lot of laughter. they give us a lot of credit. [laughter] 36 years ago, we started this against him. >> [laughs] back at yale. a speaker even before, and high school, apparently. [laughter] >> harris: i'm going to borrow that laugh the next time my kids asked me for a third household pet. mrs. clinton also took aim at president trump, and once again, his supporters. watch. >> he has been a racist, he has been sexist, he has been islamophobic, he has been anti-lgbtq. there is a long list. i don't think it is useful to say "we figured it out, this is what he is." he has a view of america that is incredibly constricted. he talks to that of america.

>> harris: if you start the sentence with "he has a view of america." it would've been different for millennium calling. note this gets? attention for hillary clinton. >> jon: i don't think that's what she was looking for, she was going to get that attention no matter what she said. >> harris: coined the president names? >> jon: if you follow his actions and his words. we look at how you responded to charlottesville, saying "there were good people on both sides when clearly this was a white supremacist thing. >> harris: does that help your team to have the loudest voice those things? >> i don't know that she is the loudest voice. >> harris: who who has come a pelosi? >> jon: [laughs] we've got obama out there that is still well-liked by loud people, both on the democratic side as well as among independents. they are even some republicans who like him a little bit, too. i think his voice, probably, at this point, carries a little bit more weight. >> harris: can you imagine him saying those things?

>> no. a >> jon: he would say it in a softer way. he wouldn't say those things. >> one thing she mentioned was taking a shot at president trump's inauguration size. gets a big hers was? oh, wait, none. because she lost. she didn't have one. >> jon: but she wasn't out there boasting about millions of people. >> lisa: she couldn't, because she lost. she didn't have one. she also said that ford's testimony was credible and convincing. guess who she didn't find credible? her staffer who went to her about the sexual harassment, grabbing her soldier shoulder. yet she kept him on staff and moved a 30-year-old staffer elsewhere. it sounds like she only listens when it's convenient for her politically. >> harris: you know, hillary clinton did leave it there. she was just going to call the president names. she was also a way to talk about kavanaugh's judicial temperament. here that is. >> for anyone who believes there is such a thing as a judicial

temperament, and that we want judges, particularly those on our highest court, to approach issues, clients, and defendants with a sense of fairness, that there is a lot to be concerned about. >> melissa? >> melissa: i think she kind of gets -- this is the mistake that i think democrats make on the left from the beginning to the end of the speech. when you are kind of categorizing an entire group of people, and i didn't think she is putting kavanaugh in that category. it sort of like, if you don't like the outcome of democratic policies, if you don't like mathematically the divide between rich and poor has gotten greater, if you don't like the slow gdp growth in the way it took off with this president, you're automatically racist. you are evil. they bring out the name calling, that makes you horrible person. it's the people that hear that, they go "i know i'm not a horrible person." and they're not listening to anything else they have to say.

you alienate some new voters and people. that's what she did. it's similar to the brett kavanaugh thing. >> harris: what do you call people that actually have a great economy haven't done i can have grade one? >> jon: isn't it interesting question. >> successful. >> harris: we are waiting a white house briefing right now where we could get a reaction to the brett kavanaugh controversy and other controversy. we will bring you that lives as it happens. top of the hour. 1:00 p.m. eastern. president trump holding rallies and energizing republican voters across the country ahead of the midterm elections. new polling is showing that the g.o.p. is gaining ground. can the commander-in-chief help this power hold onto power in congress? take a look. >> the only reason to vote democrat is if you are tired of winning. ♪ ♪ come to my window. ohhh.

>> more "outnumbered" in a moment paid let's touch base with harris to find out what's going on at "outnumbered overtime." sp1 as you know, we are getting ready for the press briefing that is set to happen in a few minutes. we'll take that life as it does. we will also take a look at the fbi, looking to wrap up its investigation into the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh perhaps as early as today. also, dr. christine blasey ford's ex-boyfriend has come forward to dispute parts of

her testimony that she gave to the senate judiciary committee. we'll get reaction from both sides of the political aisle. this will be fiery, i'm sure. congressman andy bigs, republican david sisson laney, democrat, they will both be with me. president trump is going after "the new york times" come after they accused him of tax fraud. whether he is right to call it a hit piece, with its release before the midterms. i will see at the the top of the hour. >> america is winning again, and america is being respected agai again. may be respected like never before, because we are finally putting america first. exactly five weeks from today, all of this extraordinary progress is at stake. it is at stake. i'm not on the ballot, but in a certain way, i'm on the ballot. so please go out and vote. go out and vote. >> there is president trump

urging his supporters to vote for republicans in november at a rally last night in mississippi. this is a new quinnipiac poll, showing that the democrats lead in the generic house ballot is shrinking weeks before the election. he had a lead that is down in early september. when it comes to the senate, 50% of voters said they want to see democrats took control of the upper chamber. 43% say they will our publicans to give their senate majority. jon, i'm going to go to. one of the posters for the poll says the big blue wave has lost some of its momentum in these house races. have they lost, have you guys lost her wave? >> jon: not at all because democrats are still had. they can be lost. that doesn't mean there publicans are -- >> lisa: but is it a wave? >> jon: there's still a ways. we can't take it or granted. if make sure our voters come ou. as you all know, polls always tight as you get closer to election day. this is in this price anybody,

certainly not to me. the last point i would make is that these national polls don't really mean a whole lot. it's really all about what is happening in those districts, and in those states. how people who live there are actually feeling about iv incumbent or the candidates on the ballot. i can tell you for my own experience with harry reid, polls everywhere were wrong. we had national pundits everywhere saying that he wasn't going to be reelected. and yet, he was. >> lisa: they were pretty wrong about sean, too. in some of these reasons, you look at north dakota, kevin kramer open up a ten-point lead on heidi heitkamp. that's a big competitive race. missouri, there was a poll regionally showing josh hawley up 2. you even look at new jersey, surprisingly, and that races with -- the senate races within the margin of error. a lot of these polls are citing where people are influenced by kavanaugh. how much of an impact do you see that playing out for democrats? >> jon: as he talked about earlier in the show, i think it drives up the base on both sides. it will be an important thing. the most support is young

people's minds right now according to the most recent polling's health health care. that is going to be a big issue. battleground states like nevada, with dean heller, who has flip-flopped his position in health care that's going be a problem. >> trish: i think kavanaugh is a big issue. if he doesn't get confirmed, if we see collins and murkowski vote the other way on him, republicans are going to be really mad and they are going to be storming out to those polls. it could be a big turnout for conservatives. that is what i think. i agree that it is mobilizing somewhat for the left, but not as much as it is for the right right now. >> melissa: they were already entered is mobilized. that's the thing that was really handicapping those senators coming into this, that there wasn't a huge issue. now this is kind of created one. to worry about it backfiring? >> jon: no. [laughter] >> we will end on that. a short concise answer. we are awaiting the start of the white house press briefing, and we are going to go there as soon as it begins.
