confirmation vote saturday. have more tomorrow night. thank you so much for being with us, and let not your heart be troubled, the news continues, and laura ingraham is standing by with this motion fired by mcconnell. it means the game is on. let us see where they stand. >> laura: absolutely. this will be an exciting end of the week, into the weekend with how these votes will go down. things are looking up for brett kavanaugh, and will be looking forward to covering every aspect. it's been fun to have you in washington. i don't know what we will do for fun without you. >> sean: it's all yours, the swamp, the sewer, the whole bit. i can't take it anymore. >> laura: hannity, you go back to real america in long island. >> sean: the high taxes swamp, the new york. >> laura: s the oceanfront swamp. [laughs] >> sean: you are way overpaid to say that brady got to be kidding. >> laura: the gender pay disparity comments, i'm feeling a trigger coming on.

i love having you on the show. >> sean: have a great show, i hope you are right in the optimism. we'll see, i don't have a lot of faith in some republicans. >> laura: it was great to have you here. you have a great tripp home. welcome to washington. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle." breaking news that sean just moments ago. mitch mcconnell announcing that the senate judiciary committee has received a supplemental fbi background report on brett kavanaugh and we are also told that individual senators will be reviewing thegh contents in less than 12 hours from now. we'll keep you updated as they come in. alsoso tonight, is dr. ford's story really falling apart? we expose key inconsistencies to her testimony tonight that others have, well, decide to look the other way. we'll also delve into the backlash against president trump for his comments about ford.--

plus a body language expert -- i love that -- is here to take us through some of heror more revealing answer from last week's hearing. i hope she doesn't dooe that to me. the body language thing. i don't want myself to be analyzed. if these allegations against him are proven false, what are judge kavanaugh's legal options? one of the nation's top defamation lawyers will be here to tell us. first, the kavanaugh wake-up call the g.o.p. needed. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." as ugly and vicious as the war on brett kavanaugh has been, it might actually prove to be a gift for republicans. more fair-minded americans have grown weary of the democrats' perpetual intimidation tactics and stalling games. and i think they are beginning to see the smear campaign for what it is. as a result, the g.o.p. is more energized than they have been since, i think, right after the 2016 election. they want republicans to stick together on capitol hill, not back down in the face of this

leftist mob squad, and they want them to fight for what's right, which is what the president did last night in mississippi. >> how did he get home? i don't remember. "how did you get there"? i don't remember. where is the place? i don't remember. how many years ago? i don't know. i don't know! what neighborhood was at? where's the house? i don't know. upstairs, downstairs, where was it? "i don't remember, but i had one beer." >> laura: of course, he nails it. totally nails it. a slap in thee

to doctor for but women in general. >> laura: s it you are mean, you are attacking victims, you don't have any empathy. no, he's making very shifty claims and accounts that were based on an uncorroborated memory. remember last week he said, she came off as quite credible. but after that mitchell report comes out, we begin to weigh what she said t initially to wht she said before the committee, and it's a whole different i story. president trump is speaking straight to the american people and he's reflecting their feelings, their frustrations about the whole thing. and frankly, no republican even comes close to being as effective as president trump is. after two bruising and a very nasty weeks, i actually see some good emerging. the kavanaugh battle has pulled the curtain back on just how

unprincipled and radical the democrats have become. a midterm that was once all about mueller's russia probe to what has now become a referendum on politics of personal destruction, due process and the presumption of innocence. and, president trump's fighting spirit has become contagious. even among some in the g.o.p. establishment. >> this has not been a search for the truth, this has been about>> search and destroy. t >> it's time to put that embarrassing spectacle behind u us. the american people are sick of this display that has been put on here in the united states senate. u >> whether you are a trump republican, bush republican, libertarian or vegetarian, you are past. i've never seen the reporting party so unifying as unified at

now. >> laura: with the exception of a a few holdouts, they are united. i think they were as united as they have been since 9/11. even the establishment types, the ones you just heard. i don't think i remember a time that they sounded better. because i recognize now that even a moderate bush republican like kavanaugh can be treated this way, any republican is. vulnerable.er now, how are the voters processing all of this? here are some of my colors from today's radio show. >> i heard the president last night, he wasn't mocking her, he was telling her exactly with the american people need to know. >> when the fbi report comes out and says he wasn't there, nobody is trying to repair this man's credit.en >> my parents have their entire lives voted democrat. my parents aremo livid that a democrat is trying to destroy a

good man's name. they voted straight ticket republican and they are never going to look back.. >> laura: meanwhile democratic enthusiasm seems to be waning a bit. according to an end npi pole, democrat said it was very important but now that number is down to just two points. the attacks against kavanaugh in the ongoing smear campaign have awakened the republican base and not a moment too soon, and it's resonating far beyond the base, i think. president trump said as much last night. >> they are destroying him and it destroy his reputation and we can't let that happen. we can't. i want to do what's right for this country. it's a very important time.n the democratic party has become too extreme and too dangerous to

be trusted with power. that is why you must vote republican on election day. you have to go out and vote. >> laura: like i said before, a lot of the fair-minded builders, people who are not obsessed with politics every day but basically have a pretty good barometer on what's right and wrong. these people are thinking, if theat democrats can poison the confirmation of a qualified judge with a clean record, an exemplary judicial record, mike kavanaugh's, imagine what they are going to do if they actually get power back, they are back in power in the house or senate. a new fox news poll indicates that the kavanaugh fight is having a big impact on some key and senatorial. kevin cramer is now leading heidi heitkamp by 12 points, 53-41. last month he was only up by

four, and the missouri senate race is all tied up at 43%. three weeks ago, incumbent senate democrats claire mccaskill was up three points on josh holly but no longer. and in tennessee, the senate contest there, marshall blackburn is up several points ahead of phil branson by a 43% margin. my friends, brett cavanaugh is not someone that i've known for 28 years, i know deep in here that he deserves a seat on the supreme court. i can't think of many people who deserve it more than he does, as a matter of fact, but no matter what happens next, the democrats have revealeds themselves and their slimeball tactics to the american people. ini the midterms, i think millions of people will have a

stark choice to make. do they want a green light, more ofcs this shameless a scorched earth politics for convenience? or do they want a candidate who stands and resolve for something better, like decency and due process? and that's the angle.. joining c me now is dave bossi d chris hahn, former aide to chuck schumer. all right, this fbi report was never going to makepo a differee to the democrats, but can't you just admit now that this was all about delay at this point? they weren't ever going to vote for a kavanaugh anyway right? >> there might be two or three that were considering it, and we will and when you filed a cloture in the senate, that means something, when i was

there, and i think it still does today. we will see what happens in the next day or two, and i would think that he probably has the votes. after that angle and what this means for the midterms, i find it hard to believe that this will bring out more republicans thatan ordinarily come out anyw. republican base pretty solid, and that base fluctuates dramatically. i also find it hard to believe that blue-collar americans will rally behind a prep school guy that probably reminds them more of ted mcginley's character and revenge of thehe nerds then- >> laura: did you hear the voters in west virginia last week, and nevada and mississippi? this is not exactly like new england here.

we had seven republicans, and conservatives. kavanaugh is a proxy for the 2016 election, it's a proxy issue for the democrats. it isn't about him drinking too much, who doesn't drink too much in college? they look like a bunch of tea totaling -- there are three of them at least, in the way he discussed christine ford last night and mississippi, and the three republicans that are pivotal all criticized him. but the watch. >> the president's comments were just plain wrong. >> i don't approve of the comments last night. i thought that they were wrong and extraordinarily unfortunate. >> it's appalling. >> laura: are they going on a road show?

they are joined at the hip. >> laura, can you hear me? i couldn't hear chris hahn at all. >> laura: it was just basically a series of sound bites. >> no, -- we have three republicans that are critical. flake, michalski, collins. they were not wild wild about e president's comments but that won't moveo their vote one wayr ite other. this report is going to be criticalg,. but that does not bolster christine ford's credibility at all. >> it's all about the report, they've been critical with the president in the past and still voted with him. i see the cloture vote and that concerns me.

if i was at mikado and i was filing cloture vote, collins and flake were very critical on this boat. i think i would have made that call and whipped those boats between four i made that motion. back to the original discussion about the midterms, laura, i really don't see this lasting, especially if he is confirmed over the weekend. i don't think that 30 days from now that this is still an issue. and i don't think that scotus voters, people that come back and vote for supreme court justices -- >> the court was an important part of christian conservatives and conservatives. i disagree with you. i know it's the law, but, -- dave, there is a gremlin in youo

ear piece. f we are talking about collins, flake and murkowski. i don't think this will make christine ford's testimony any more credible but do you think they will block the president on this for any reason at this point? >> i don't think they will do that at all. this is why the president got elected, it's very important to the republican voters across the country, they sent donald trump to the white house. they are going to get kavanaugh through, and we've seen a bump with polling throughout the country. one of the important things that republicans need to wake up to is the chaos. the chaos that this democrat party is involved in. let's look at the last two weeks, the chaos of washington and america. that's what you get with a democrat majority in the house. you get this every single day, nothing else. only trump derangement syndrome and the ability for them -- use

subpoenas and deposition processes and rake people over the coals and ruin their lives just like they try to do to brett kavanaugh. >> laura: let's go to professor turley. the senate has their hands on the fbi supplementary background report on and kavanaugh but the democrats are waiting for the findings. they've already made up their minds. listen to cory booker today. >> ultimately, not whether he's innocent or guilty, this is not a trial, but ultimately, enough questions are raised that we should not move onto another candidate, and that long list put together by the heritage foundation and federal society move on to another candidate. >> laura: we will get right on that. joining me now is jonathan turley. how damaging is at that the democrats have seemingly abandoned the idea of fundamental fairness and due process?

i take this away from the republican democrat prison and look at it just as, what are the facts sir or ma'am? >> they are acting as a factng finder, there is an element of fairness and decency that has to comeer in. so what is your standard? so a clear preponderance standard means you're a 75% standard of your decision. you say that on this, could you even say bye preponderance that it tips either way? if you believe both sides equally, so it under any of those standards it's very hard to vote against kavanaugh unless you go with senator booker's idea. >> laura: one accusation, uncorroborated is enough to knock you off. >> the senator 's kept asking

him what type of justice would you be. what you want of justice that follows the standards of the senators are suggesting? >> laura: i wish that point was actually raised last week at the hearing. of course theyam wouldn't. many of these democrats are in favor of prison reform, and sentencing reform. the idea of redemption and clemency in general. it is a bit of a turnabout, do you think that the fbist investigation itself -- it's not going to become public, it's some weird process, but only one copy. it's like the trans-pacific partnership. so it's one copy, and i guess they have an hour each, only nine staffers will be able to

look at it. that's about to be made public and mitch mcconnell really wantsli to ensure it is not made public.he is there wisdom to keeping this within the senate? >> is certainly right about keeping it out of the public view. this is not a sherlock holmes novel, this is not the conclusion at the end of a gotcha where we find the lead pipe in the dining room with the body. these are basically raw statements, and, these are fbi agents going into the field and saying, that's what this guy's side. they often put in a lot of stuff that they may doubt because you want to bring all of this datam. into the system. it's not fair to a person to have that type of raw information released.el it's not fair to judge kavanaugh and it's not fair to all the other nominees. these things have not been made public in the past.

>> laura: it's like the anita hill thing, they said they looked into it and could find no cooperation but then that was leaked. that was never supposed to see thery light of day that they trd to push it onto the public and that ended up doing what i did to that nomination, and ultimately, obviously the confirmation went through. thanks for being here. the 19's accusation seemed to be collapsing on every front. we will detail those points next. plus the top defamation lawyer will join me on what recourse kavanaugh might have if those claims bear no fruit? stay there.

>> laura: christine ford's story is falling apart. first, ford's ex-boyfriend and high school friend may have exposed some blatant lies around her polygraph test. and do you remember our bizarre story about wanting to doors on the front of her house? while the remodeling project prompted her to reveal the allegations back in 2012 both to her therapist and her husband. now a policy investigation found discrepancies in her timeline. records indicate the double door renovation took place in 2008, four years earlier. joining us with more as victor david hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution. all right, you have made this point that there is a big difference between credibility based on facts and personal

empathy. explain how these latest details illuminate that point? >> i think coming into where we are today, she wasn't able to locate the supposed assault or the time or the date and she had the early 80s, mid 80's, 80s, she was a young teenager, unmated teenager and a little bit older. then we had the collapse of the sixth accuser, the fifth, fourth, third and second, and now we have the boyfriend come forward. our own testimony where she admitted she flies regularly is corroborated by the boyfriend. and people in palo alto have two doors for one purpose. not because they are claustrophobic but because they want to have extra income and have a renter come in. i don't think she ever thought she'd have to come forward at all. she would write this anonymous writ and then that would cast

doubt and that might panic the republicans and kavanaugh would withdrawal. but it's sad because she gave one to many narratives. she gave a narrative to dianne feinstein, she give a narrative to her testimony and she butted up against a pretty seasoned prosecutor. those narratives cannot be reconciled. they are mutually exclusive and accountable, contradict eachiv other. whether it's on the lie detector or the circumstances about flying or particular names, here we are where it has collapsed. >> laura: to illustrate how the left -- they substitute a motion for a reason. they want everyone else to buy into it as well. so jennifer granholm, one of your favorites, said this a few days ago. >> what's so frustrating about this is what you have a woman gets up there and takes an oath

and comes across to most people as incredibly credible. >> ni'm not sure that's the rit thing to say but, amazingly credible. >> laura: incredibly credible, amazingly credible. >> that comes right out of the french revolution, not the history of american jurisprudence. no reasoning and i think the fact that she was empathetic only get you so far. cory booker was right because it's not about kavanaugh, it's not about trump, it's about raw, sheer politics in the arena. the democrats are saying, we've lost the senate, we've lost the house, we lost the presidency and we will lose the supreme court. we are going to bet the farm so tong speak, and we will use

revolutionary tactics. this election is a referendum on whether you believe you can swarm a senator on the way to work or you can get in the face of a senator in an elevator or bother somebody in a restaurant. >> laura: that's accepted behavior in washington, no matter where you go. >> that's right. that's the existential referendum. are you for due process or revolutionary fervor? are you for reason or for emotion? are you for custom and practice of the u.s. congress? i think there's one other element and i think they are really angry because it's kind of a self-inflicted wound. okay, that's what a president does and when he wins, he picks people.

and they would be a lame duck at at made it the biden wall. and harry reid -- >> laura: it's all coming back to bite them. the truth, it ultimately wins out in the end and comes back to bite them. thanks so much victor, great to see you asou always. so if all the stories are proven false, what recourse could judge kavanaugh have? or can swarm their way back into power? tom claire is one of the country's preeminent attorneys and defamation cases. can kavanaugh pursue a case here if one or either of the claims is false? >> there is so much contact out there and reckless speech starting with the accusers and the media who are repeating

these uncorroborated and baseless allegations without knowing whether it's true or false, it's as lewdly reckless. celebrity lawyers who are jumping in front of cameras to repeat the stuff, he h absolutey has recourse. it's the only thing we can do in our system to make a claim. >> laura: yesterday he set up, i talked to someone in -- well that's the crime. it is not enough for a defamation case, could it be? >> it absolutely can be. we were falsely accusing anyone of a criminal act, for drugging something with the purpose of sexual assault, and if that was made recklessly, there is plenty of elements of recklessness and judge kavanaugh should absolutely keep those options on the table. >> but don't we have horrible laws in this country who are public figures who are malignedf

i'm a public figure, people can say whatever they want. but president trump actually spoke about this last night. n i want to play it for you, watch. >> president trump: we better start as a country getting smart and getting tough, and notf, letting that stuff back there, all those cameras, tell us how to live our lives. fake news. we have the worst libel laws everywhere in the world. they can say whatever they want but we can't sue them because if you are famous, we can't see. think of your son and think of your husband. >> a false statement and you say it knowingly. you pack say recklessness with malice? >>al malice means the speakers

knew it was false or active recklessly and making that statement. and that's all you gote here. our sorts of red flags, all sorts of reasons that people should be pumping the book breaks but instead everyone is diving in front of cameras and destroying this man's reputation. >> iff he is a confirmed supreme court justice, and he's not going to be filing a defamation case. >> i wouldn't think so but -- >> laura: mark judge could perhaps. he's not a public figure. >> but even justice cavanaugh, and i do certainly hope he's confirmed because he deserves to be but even then his legacy will be tarnished by this. he will never know, and his great grandchildren will never get a chance to meet him, but they will read about him. >> laura: so you think you should pursue this even if he y makes it to the court? >> i think he ought to keep it on the table. >> laura: tom, this is

illuminating, thanks for making time for us tonight. up next, a special kavanaugh addition of "seen and unseen. you don't want to miss this one.

b letter lks. some of these lines say, pass out in john... which is in the shower, pass out on garage floor. >> laura: who doesn't do that? >> no, because you wet the bed. i would love to get the full hearing of what these mean. we won some friends of mine say that describes various things on weekends. it's >> i love mr. scott's wee wee and orange on rug? i'm not even going there. and then there's pictures of her at underaged parties where there's binge drinking going on in the caption, we were talking about underaged girl. at they were not all complying with the nuns in the evenings, this was kind of fast times at

holton high. they were chasing boys and drinking booze. it was the culture of the space. i don't like looking at anyone's yearbook. >> laura: but if you are going to come through kavanaugh's yearbook which i think is good, then -- it's just kind of a snapshot for someom uptimes. >> what's good for the goose is good for the gander. and i will share this later in the week and we will get your boyfriend to call in during the segment. >> laura: all, well, peter, don't call. >> the president is taking credit for comments that he made about the ability of dr. ford's claims. we attached those to c dr. fords with some context. watch this. >> president trump: how did you get home, i don't remember. >> has anyone come forward to say to you, remember i was theer

one that drove you home. you described this as being near the country club, wherever this house was, is that right? >>ha i would describe it as somewhere between my house and that country club. >> how are you able to narrow down thehe time frame? >> t i can't give the exact dat. be too d but i only had one bee. >> i had one beer and brett and mark were visibly drunk. >> laura: raymond, what do you think of the impact of that? >> like you, most americans are looking at this and this is like president dangerfield. trumps timing is funny -- >> laura: that was not scripted. >> laura: it's feisty and fun, people of this. it's very risky for brett kavanaugh's nomination. they are looking at donald trump

all along. he's been presidential reserved and solemn. >> laura: i like that part. >> i know you like it but it may push some of these senators in the wrong direction. it's great for midterms though. >> laura: some hollywood stars are planning a rally in d.c. tomorrow. how ridiculous. >> while they are very upset. this is alyssa milano, listen to what she said. just watch. >> whereas trump might say that white men have a very difficultv right now, i'm saying that women, young people have had it difficult for generations and generations and generations. we will not be silenced any longer. if that means that men have a hard time right now, then i'm sorry, this is a way the pendulumum has to shift. >> laura: sorry raymond.

>> i guess we are out of luck. >> laura: i have this to say to alyssa milano. who's the boss?>> donald trump. sorry, that's a president. >> they are also staging a walk out across the nation. remember this happened a few weeks ago. they wore black and walked out of their place of work. nothing says i want a good supreme court like leaving your job in the middle of your day. so that's what they are doing. but we will cover your data and bring youra full coverage. >> laura: if you saying, maybe i will show up. other than that, i'm not sure i like your political comments. >> laura: let's keep in touch. coming up, pretending crying. a baby girl voice and inappropriate smiling. those are justin some of the things that a body language expert says stood out when christine blase ford was testifying. she joins us next.

>> laura: our next guest is ano nonpartisan and unbiased body language and communications expert. she spent decades as an expert witness for criminal and civil cases and she's mean and objective for the anger "the ingraham angle." lillian, thank you so much forre being here, i find this entire topic fascinating and i love it. i want to take you through a few moments from christine ford's testimony and get your reaction. the first step for her comments about her therapist notes. let's watch. >> did you show a full or partial i set of those marriage therapy records to "the washington post"? >> i don't remember. i remember some summarizing for her what they said, i'm not

quite sure if i actually gave her the record. >> so it's possible that the reporter did not see these notes? >> i don't know -- i can't recall whether she saw them indirectly or if i just told them what that she said. >> it's fascinating because first of all she uses that little baby girl voice that she uses when she's feeling vulnerable or caught it, so to speak. you see her having her head to the side which is a very vulnerable body language position, and she doesn't seem to remember what happened actually two months ago, but she can certainly remember what happened with cavanaugh. so it's fascinating to see what happens.ki she is looking down, so in terms of the situation it's not raining true. she's not being forthright here for some reason. >> laura: there is another moment where she is talking about her best friend, leland

keiser, she had reported was in the house at the time of the alleged assault. and t she was questioned about ms. kaiser. at do you have any particular issues to subscribe to leland? >> he has significant help, and she let me know that she needs to her lawyer to take care of this for her. >> laura: talk about throwing it under the bus, forget the body language but, what about way she looks and appears, and her vocal inflection at that moment? >> laura: her vocal inflection is completely different, like she's saying, i'm really happy and she doesn't show happiness for her friend. and she does there were under the bus, talking about her health problems and then the

fact that the lawyer wants to get involved, may be against her for exposing this. this is quite personal information. then you see her head down and she's looking down, she's not confident in terms of what she's saying and it's very disconcerting >> laura: now another moment is when she is discussing the polygraph. it's a pretty big deal, just happened a couple months earlier when she sat down for a polygraph. >> review audio and video recorded when you were taking that test? >> okay so, i remember being hooked up to a machine, being placed onto my body, and being asked a lot of questions and crying a lot. that is my primary memory of that test. i don't know, i wasn't listening to every detail about whether it was audio or video recorded. >> laura: that's not even

getting into the grandmother's funeral time-stamp on that. so what are your thoughts there? >> two things, laura. first of all, so you are in trouble. you are not communicating straight forward to a very easy answer and there's a problem here. >> laura: again. if you are answering truthfully, would your eyes a lock on the questioner? a lot of people look away when they are telling the truth. >> that is true. of course because they are not functional. but she's talking about the polygraph, she doesn't remember, and this happened as you said recently in her lifetime, not 35 years ago. >> laura:: i'm checking my body language to make sure -- i'm looking straight, forthright.

all right, thank you so much. coming up, the democratic staffer caught today after criminality against them and the shocking accusations, next

♪ >> i don't want to know, not so much about >> if i wanted to turn abuse of the process because this will be the new norm, god help us all. who would want to come before this committee if we are going to do this, i hope they don't get away with it. >> earlier this evening, capitol police arrested former congressional staffer jackson costco, who allegedly docked at a handful of republican senators and then posted their personal

info online. jason chaffetz was himself a target of the left intimidation tactics will he wasoi in congres and he joins us now. thanks for being with us tonigh tonight. and -- >> this is how the deep statee acts. it's a resistance movement, it scorched earth and what's interesting about this case, this personn is not just charged with putting mike lee's telephone, address and phone number, he had three senators out there. also identity theft, second-degree burglary, false identity and police went out of their way to say, there are probably going to be more charges. >> laura: we were talking

earlier jason about making people pay who alleged these defamatory falsehoods, whether it's against a judicial candidate, knowing that the thing is so outrageous or false or recklessly referencing it, that people have to either be penalized severely or it's going to keep happening. and, you have to go on the offense against these people. >> you have to see these people behind bars. you have to prosecute him and put him in jail. they know he won't get arrested, they won't get prosecuted and they won't even get fired. >> laura: wasn't it during obama that one of those state department employees, and,

just trolling for personal information. i bet it's a lot more common than we know. even just the ones we find out about. final thoughts? >> we did that with the whole irs investigation, and, nobody went to jail and nobody was charged and the federal government, the federal employees all know this. they know they can get away with it. >> laura: that all has to end, the tyranny of mediocrity is one thing that the tyranny of criminality in the bureaucracy as a whole other ball of wax. jason chaffetz, thank you so much. and cnn on the receiving end from some hard truths of a journalist giant. that's next.

.. so i can buy from

enterprise car sales and you'll take any trade-in? that's right! great! here you go... well, it does need to be a vehicle. but - i need this out of my house. (vo) with fair, transparent value for every trade-in... enterprise makes it easy. >> laura: veteran journalist ted koppel turning his fire on cnn much to the media reporter brianel >> reporter: veteran journalist ted koppel turning his fire on cnn much to the media reporter's

surprise. >> the ratings are up, you can't do without donald trump. he would be lost without donald trump. cnn's ratings would be in the toilet without donald trump. >> who invited him on this panel. i will leave it there. shannon bream and the fox news at night fantastic team are here to take away all the new developments on capitol hill and beyond. shannon: there are some new ones, thank you very much. of fox news alert, the countdown is on and the confirmation vote is set to confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme court, still awaiting the release of the be i report but the senate majority leader is a short time ago the senate will receive it tonight. welcome
