a new start of the democratic party. should they be rewarded for what they have done? it is been a national disgrace. where you don't have the presumption of innocence. thank you for being with us, we'll be back tomorrow night with more answers. laura's next. >> laura: hannity, do you think that nancy pelosi actually sleeps with the gavel? you think the gavel is right there? people have a teddy bear or a bank he, like a blank key. the gavel. >> hannity: that she is going to hate you and me in the head with it. >> laura: oh, my gosh. sean, you got a fantastic show tonight. we are missing you in washington. spew and i'm glad be out of there but i am back in the high tax swap. >> laura: hannity, thank you so much. welcome to "the ingram angle," washington, kavanaugh is cleared. that according to an fbi report that every senator has read at this hour. and moments we will show you how the left is lashing out in

response. we will get exclusive reaction from the white house, kelly conway joins us live. marilyn matlin makes a rare television appearance and matt slap will be along as well. in one week after his fiery defense of judge kavanaugh becoming the rallying cry for conservatives, lindsey graham joins me tonight on where things stand now and where they go from here. plus, an increment angle investigation. we've been doing some digging into just how christina ford's name was leaked. stay here for that. but first, the democrats desperate salvage operation. that is the focus of tonight's angle. after another week of delay in the kavanaugh confirmation saga the fbi supplemental report is in. it appears that the democrats have lost another one. >> what we know for sure is at the fbi report did not cooperate

any of these allegations against judge kavanaugh. >> laura: even the undecided hamlet finger, jeff flake says the report doesn't show any cooperation while susan collins calls it very thorough. let me say again, the report, all 46 changes a bit apparently produced is zero evidence to back up the accusation of his accusers. as we have come to expect, straightforward, factual revelations have zero influence on democrats going wild across america. for instance at the university of vermont they held a canceled class, cancel brett kavanaugh rally. how clever. and brooklyn, new york, and bel air, maryland, there were similar calls to kill his nomination. here in washington, d.c., the hate machine was ramped up to full throttle. >> our democracy has been hijacked by the powerful and

they don't plan to share it. i am angry. let me make this clear. i have a plan. >> laura: but -- isn't anger most effective when becomes a chance? >> we are. >> we are. about two. about two. march! >> we need. >> we need. >> >> everyone. >> everyone. >> to pay attention! >> to pay attention! >> laura: who needs chance that rhyme anyway? what would anti-brett kavanaugh pro-abortion protest be without a few hollywood heavyweights. model emily showed some outrage and some midriff. comedian amy schumer was as usual politically understated. >> a vote for kavanaugh is a boat saying women don't matter.

let's say together. let's fight! let's keep showing up! >> laura: the good thing is that when she was arrested she actually didn't have to put on prison garb's. she was artie wearing it. all over the capital there were survivors, costing senators undecided about his nomination. they attempted at one point, you will love this, to pull a jeff flake and bully senators like joe manchin and to casting a "no" vote. >> as a survivor i don't understand how you can look me in the eye. >> how are you not listening to us? >> i am. >> are you? you're going to get into this elevator. how are you going to vote? tell me! >> laura: i love that. step back. why are they always said, look at me?

we see you, believe me we are reverting your gaze. >> the harassment tactics. i think they are total turnoff. americans just don't like the stuff. most people just want things to calm down. >> laura: the tracking poll has a presence approval at 50%. not bad. a new poll finds it had 40%, a four-point gain from last month. even better, that same poll shows that the supercharged enthusiasm is on the republican side. the democrats advantage, tanked! 11 points last month, to just two points this month. still, the democrats will not give up. >> the most notable part of this report is what is not not an i. as we noted by the white house, the fbi did not interview brett kavanaugh. nor did the fbi interview

dr. ford. >> given how limited these documents were and how limited the scope of this investigation was, we are reiterating our call that the documents with proper redaction be made public. why shouldn't all of america facts? >> laura: okay, i think you should have worn a white scarf for surrender. don't you think that would've been more appropriate? americans to have the facts. democrats wanted a witch hunt and it fizzled over a lack of evidence. the fact that americans will not focus on are the ones he left for the most. the economic record of donald j. trump. jobless claims have dropped to a 49 year low. we now have 4.2% gdp growth with projections now to match that in the upcoming quarter. manufacturing jobs -- but remember president obama said they were never coming back? they are growing at the fastest rate in 23 years.

trump's republican party is actually offering something called results. also one foreign policy, trade, the agenda that people voted for. meanwhile, the democrats offer americans only this. >> why aren't you brave enough to talk to us? >> don't you wave your hand at me. i wave my hand at you. >> how dare you talk to women that way. >> senator, do you believe woman? >> laura: is it over yet? there we go. the door has closed. democrats are still howling or screeching, you just heard that. again, none of this is a governing agenda. it is just more chaos, harassment, anger and agitation. and you really want to vote for more of that in november? and that the angle.

joining me now is ariel gold, a former cloak, clerk brett kavanaugh, a former advisor for both president bush and vice president cheney, mary matlin. first ariel, go to you. democrats kind of complain that they want an fbi investigation and now they got it. now they are wanting something that is not enough. what is enough? zero evidence, 46 pages, even susan collins says it is thorough. speak with him the real question is, why so many women republican senators are not caring about the experiences of women and specifically i was in susan collins office tonight with a bunch of protesters, most of whom were her own constituents and she refused to come and meet with them. >> laura: so you just barged in? is that your new tactic? >> why shouldn't consistencies

of their office representatives. >> that's out of the screaming earlier in the elevator, do you think anyone finds that in any way enticing, influential, attractive, convincing? screaming is not convincing. it is kind of just cover your ears stuff. i don't get how you think you that is working you got slammed out. speak out to my stomach >> we saw over 3,000 people arrested. >> laura: [applause] 300 people ! i have a question. the people of jobs? how do you guys do this? i know you get paid. do you get paid by code pink? >> i am on staff. >> laura: see that pay to do this. i see people or are either ther their parents are paying them to be there. >> i'm a mother of two children. my daughter is 15. i am worried for what this means to him her, the message that she

is getting. >> laura: you are worried your daughter will not be able to watch? >> i am worried my daughter is getting a message from congress that her experiences, her safety is not important. >> laura: is it about abortion? you were your daughter is not going to be able to get an abortion? >> i'm also aware that my daughter would not have the right. >> laura: i just want to know what we are talking about? okay, that is fine. mary matlin, you don't do a lot of tv anymore but you know the brett kavanaugh, you've known him for years. it's like he is a trump republican, he was a bush guy. a bush appointee on the d.c. circuit. mary, you saw this play out today. there is a lot of enthusiasm, lot of anger and agitation on the left. they feel like they have momentum even if they lose the fight against him. how do you feel? >> it is anarchy. this is not to civil discourse. it is anarchy and it is destruction of the culture.

in my day of feminism, there was a string that a woman needs a man. we talked about not needing men, to wanting to castrate men, emasculate men. do know it will affect generations, when men are behaving like sissies and women are behaving like anarchists. that to the definition of successful feminism. if you want to stand up for women, what about ashley's, sweet little ashley kavanaugh who sat outside of president bush's office? the epitome of class and decoru decorum. a staff secretary , unequivocal discretion. this huge record today. his friend was a friend of ours is being attacked on facebook. they will probably run him out

of there because he is attended the hearings of kavanaugh whose wedding he was in. they've been friends for 20 years. this is politics? this is really about culture. people are sick of everything. from the city accuracy that is using, every element of our culture. from football to public restrooms. >> you can't get away from it. >> you can't go anywhere. >> laura: you can't do anything. everybody has to be angry. go ahead. >> of the many incredible miraculous things that president trump has done. nothing short of a miracle. he has done it in the face of constant thwarting and lying in fallacious nests. these barrel attacks on him and his person and his people. they are taking cabinet members out of restaurants. they are sending private

information to senators. he has exposed the hypocrisy and the ineptitude of the loyal opposition. senator spartacus. people are tuning in and saying who are these people? who is this blumenthal guy? lsn? what is the standard? your girlfriend being beat up and you have medical records and you have no cooperation on brett kavanaugh. >> laura: it's a double standard. jennifer, i want to go to you. the cover of "time" magazine that you've probably seen. we'll put it up on the screens of people see it. it has a letter to white women who support brett kavanaugh. we need you to stand for women who are breaking this despite of their terror and shame. i believe inside the bodies of some of those women at the rallies where other impulses and feelings they weren't

expressing. time is short, call your senators. stop laughing and start fightin fighting. it is kind of like, you white women, how dare you laugh at survivors. how dare you dismiss survivors. that is kind of an emotional thing. if someone is a survivor, no one should laugh at them. no one wants to laugh at them and yet this is not how people are seeing it. >> my background -- judge kavanaugh is an excellent jurist and he himself has a lot of care for his woman. more than half of his law clerk for women. he has done an amazing job of mentoring us. >> laura: we all know that. anything that you saw when you are working for him. he was a judge for 12 years, 36 clerks? >> 48. >> laura: 48 clerks. anything you saw in his behavior

towards the more than half of the clerks being women would give you pause about the way he treats women? >> absolutely not. >> laura: nothing? >> no. nothing close to anything like that. absolutely gracious, perfectly above. >> laura: were a shock to hear about these allegations when they were first leaked? >> it was shocking. judge kavanaugh along the way, the entire time denied them. they are so inconsistent with everything i know about him. he's been an advocate for fair law unfair use of the law for women and men. i think of the senate confirms him, he will abide the constitution fairly and really try to look for justice for all americans. >> laura: area, what is next for code pink? >> hannity: has lost this round. >> we are not done. we'll be out there tomorrow.

>> laura: doing watch? >> we will be out there in the halls and in the streets calling -- for him to step down. to have a nomination of somebody with a different temperament. somebody who hasn't lied under oath. somebody doesn't have these accusations. there are tons of people that have squeaky clean records that we could see be nominated. >> laura: so so you be in favor of a very strong woman. seven kids. you'd be in favor of a woman? >> i'm not saying i would be in favor of one specifically, but it's about the nomination. >> laura: we got code pink on the record. amy is more appropriate than a brett kavanaugh. watch what you ask for. thank you so much. mary, great seeing you by the way. we want you one more. here with reaction to how the white house is feeling, kellyanne conway. kelly and, thank you so much for being here. staying up late for us. >> of course.

>> laura: any concern from the white house about where this vote count stands? >> we are feeling very confident that everything the democrats and dr. ford has asked to be done over the last two and half weeks had been done. the fbi supplemental is completed. this is the seventh fbi vetting that has been conceded on jeff kavanaugh including two justice calendars. now it is time for vote. we feel pretty confident. i'm looking to get ahead of those were still sitting on the fence but i will tell you that there there are some red state democrats who have a decision to make. tent that night seat filled they can go and be complacent with the process that has been fraught with hysterics and

hyperbole and hyper partisanshi partisanship. democrats trying to undo election results from two years ago, i just have to slow down this nomination to get ahead of the midterm elections this year. they have to decide whether they are going to be a part of that. they own all of those protesters if they vote against judge kavanaugh. they own all the hysterics come all the craziness that you see there. i think we will have the votes. he ought to be confirmed. by the way, what has happened in her culture, mary magdalene is correct. it won't go away when he is nominated. it's about dignity and integrity. >> laura: they are out there tomorrow. they've a right to protest. this is america a parody of a right to protest as long as it is civil. richard blumenthal in connecticut, my home state. he said this today about this process. let's watch. >> it strikes me as really and neglect of the fbi's duty.

the fbi is not responsible. i think the blame lies with the white house that straitjacketed this investigation. >> laura: you heard that throughout the protest that this investigation was circumscribed, artificially the deadline was artificial. the real fact and get out. this was a rush job. frankly a con job. that is what the left and the protesters were saying. >> well, he is lying and of course he has a history of not being able to tell the truth. he lied about his service and vietnam. he didn't serve in vietnam he served during vietnam. that is not the difference of just a word. this is someone who sat right behind her last week when she said i want to tell the men of america to shut up and he smirked. i guess he didn't understand what she said. that is one thing i agree with. he should definitely stop lying about the fbi and this investigation and with the white house did or didn't do.

the people that dr. ford herself says couldn't cooperate were part of the fbi investigation. guess what? they couldn't cooperate her allegation it turns out. you have these senators who have very successfully come forward. i think this is a thorough investigation. one said there is not a hint of any misconduct. that the allegations have not been cooperated. the point is this, there is no nominee that president trump is going to put forward that will satisfy liberals. there is no nominee that they will ever like. they had to admit that this is about the midterms. being of the midterms, i want to thank all these crazy liberals because they have done something that -- they have energized this. >> laura: five more weeks. >> there is no question about i it. these folks have a right to protest. the first amendment says you can

act crazy also. time is up and move on. >> laura: kelly and, thank you so much. up next, we still have a major question on the table about this ongoing trauma

>> laura: is a confirmation vote for a brett kavanaugh looks sad this weekend we can forget what happened at the very start of this whole thing. most importantly, how did reporters get their hands on christine blasey ford's account in the first place? "the washington post" says that she made the initial contact through the anonymous tip line. and only after she had built a rapport with the reporter, she decided to come forward and give her on the record accounts. i want to play this moment during the hearing that really

jumped out at me when i first watched it. i don't think it's getting enough attention. ford was asked about the decision to come forward and said this. >> ultimately because reporters were sitting outside of my home, a reporter appeared and my graduate classroom and i must occur for a student. she came up to asking a question and i thought that she was a student and it turned out that she was a reporter. >> laura: "the washington post" in the statement reaffirmed that ford came to them solely through their tip line and that it was under some other outlets i confronted her at her home and place of residence. where does that leave us? back to democratic members of the senate judiciary committee, remember senator feinstein was confronted about possible leaks last week and had this kind of interesting exchange with senator john. >> can you tell us that your

staff did not leak it? >> i don't believe my staff would leak it. i have not asked that question directly. >> do you know that? have you asked them? >> adjusted. pardon me? jennifer remind me come i've asked you before about it >> laura: well, the jennifer she referenced there is a woman named jennifer duck, her longtime chief of staff who now works on the judiciary committee for the democrats. it seems to be the authority on the question of leaks. we take the post as her words that their involvement in the story came solely through the tip line but we are less clear on how the other reporters found themselves in possession of her identity? it is strange. we reached out to her office for clarity and as a 5 minutes ago they had not gotten back to us. here to react, howard kurtz, the

host of media buzz. american conservative union, matt is flat. how would, let's start with you. so many post is being honest, how do we think all these other reporters found out about ford? >> extremely strong circumstantial evidence. staff members don't tell the boss, i'm about to leak this. looks where the leaks went? "the new york times" ," it's abt a woman. and then it was a buzz feed reporter, a liberal site that went to her home. and finally the new yorker gets the actual letter and publishes it. christine ford said, people know who i am. journalist know who i am. i will tell my own story. >> laura: matt, the idea that some person like christine ford, i will just type it on the anonymous tip line. something about the story just

doesn't add up. given the importance of guarding these documents, on cooperated from the committee, to avoid this happening again. shouldn't it be the case that they sell a phone, emails, the tax, whether deleted or not are preserved. you can get them back. all of those are preserved and we find out any connections between her office in "the washington post." specifically, friendships, romantic relationships between feinstein's people in the post. >> adam thomas and anita hill, there was some similar things. when you go back into this fbi report, only senators can look at it. i think we will have some learnings out of this. here's what we know. either dr. ford is a terrible victim or dr. ford in combination with these democrats and may be the democrat who started this whole thing on the

lawyers, they were trying to aggressively push her to be public. they were actually leaking on dr. ford to get her out there. they wanted the motions of that hearing. that is what they wanted. they thought that would derail at all. they got the opposite. >> laura: how we, "the washington post" responded to us today by saying "nobody leak anything to us. she decided she was willing to put her name on the record after reporters from other outlets appeared at her home and workplace at which time we decided to publish her story." again, does that ring true? >> it is true that "the washington post" didn't go with it without her interviews, the therapist notes at all that. they try to do a legitimate investigation. i have covered so many of these stories. it becomes an open secret. a source tells one report, may be a source tells two reporters. nobody quite wants to go with i it.

eventually it gets out there, somebody goes and tries to ambush the person or hang out or stalk them. that is how it eventually gets printed. i believe that christine ford was pop mike pressured >> laura: this was also regarding what is it called? "devils triangle" ." this was don lemon last night. let's watch. >> how did he sign it? >> he signs it, fff. >> boy, he likes making's to make fun that stuttering guy. do a google search. that is not stuttering. "devils triangle" is not a drinking game. if he knows that, everybody else does except for some senators. >> laura: left [laughs]

judge kavanaugh. jeff flake, it is over. oh, yes, it turns out it was a drinking game. other friends get sworn statements. apparently you were a bunch of geeks and never played it. >> you have to give him some credit, he seems to know a lot about it. he what is this for news? it is okay to pick out a catholic, that is one thing we learned through this process. what is this philosophy? drinking games, "devils triangle" ." that could be racist too. >> laura: a black hole? speak up when to be careful on my end. >> laura: of not going anywhere near that. fantastic segment. we will stay on the leak segmen segment. the investigation will continue. in one week after the explosive senate remarks became a rallying

>> laura: the man who is really lead and galvanize the g.o.p.'s efforts to rally behind judge kavanaugh's lindsey graham. one week after his fiery call to arms, i loved it! the senator is feeling more confident than after after reading the fbi report on brett kavanaugh. senator graham joins us how to talk about that and what is next, senator thank you so much for being here. what other games can we expect from the democrats before this thing goes to the final vote? >> they will do it. if they could write a book about overplaying their hands in politics, this isn't the first chapter. the fbi reports, the background interviewed nine people. they follow the direction of the three senators who asked for more investigation. it came back very good for judge kavanaugh and now i would expect

he senators to vote yes. i hope they will because that is what they asked for. >> laura: the complaint from the left. there are a lot of them. we have a few senators, a few of your friends and others who commented today. let's watch. >> it is obviously a cover-up. the trump white house working with the republican leadership in the senate have deliberately circumscribed this investigation. they're making a mockery of the constitutional climate. speak up that is not under investigation it is a investigation. >> laura: they didn't interview her cousin second twice removed. >> this is your view of the senate's role is to take a good man's life and turn it upside

down, betray dr. ford's trust. do everything in the world to destroy him. that does not advise consents that is despicable. it is going to blow up in your face. i hope it does because if it goes wrong he will get on the court. they have no idea of what the fbi supplemented investigation was about. they made up their minds to vote no before anyone said no. hear what they asked for, they asked that the people who named her got interviewed and miss ramirez be interviewed. that was done plus four, five other witnesses. the results are in. senator collins and senator flake but it was thorough. the thought it was fair. these two people are my friends and they have no idea who they talk about. >> laura: senator schumer talked about the emotion that

drove christine ford in the country rallying behind her, it seems like he is taken this in a midterm pose. let's watch. >> dr. ford came forward and one america's hearts. a republican colleagues were upset that that might derail their headlong rush to put judge kavanaugh on the supreme court. >> laura: the headlong rush? you're rushing this because you want to get it done as fast as possible. this was emotionally based and used by those protesters today on capitol hill, a lot of women. they took over the office building for i don't know how long. they promise that they were gonna keep doing this. they are going to keep tackling you guys in elevators and quartering you in the halls. the protest culture is going to continue. >> it won't work for me. i think my colleagues feel offended as does senator schumer. i've never been more disappointed in you and your

party. she requested to remain anonymous, it was somebody on your side who leaked it to the press for political purpose. her own lawyers who were advised to be appointed by senator feinstein, the most clinically active person apparently never told dr. ford that they were going to california to avoid any embarrassment. please don't use and abuse his woman anymore. her accusations have not been cooperated. we don't know anymore than we did before. the people she named, they don't know what she's talking about. it really offends me that senator schumer would continue to abuse dr. ford. they are the ones were playing politics. i voted, never thought twice about it. i tell you right now, this is a defining moment for the 2018 election. this is unfair. >> laura: let's talk about repercussions for what happens. he did the filing of false evidence, that can be proved.

what about to this leaking issue, we talk about on the sho show. it seems like someone is not telling the truth here about what happened on the senate's side. do you think what diane feinstein said when she said, i didn't ask anybody and then she said, oh, no, they tell me i did ask them. no one on my staff leaks it. do you believe that? >> i believe that she didn't only get better know about her staff. i do know this, or staff recommended to dr. ford who hates trump and is a politically activist lawyer, apparently dr. ford was not told by her legal team. somebody on their side leaked anonymous letter without -- >> laura: so are not secure the emails on their tax? >> here is what i'm gonna do. anybody who did this is going to pay a price. the people who exposed my name, senator hatch. that person is going to pay a

price. my goal if i am chairman is to make sure never happens again. the best way to measure never happens again is to punish those who did it. >> laura: what lesson you think the president should take out of all this? this was a moment, the party got unified. the economy is on fire. great judges. nafta was renegotiated. what is next? >> the president should take the following, if you appoint a good person who gets destroyed in a despicable manner and you fight for him, people will like you more. whether you are trump republican or bush republican, libertarian or vegetarian republican. we are all together now thanks to this despicable attack on a good man. here's what i want the president to know. do the right thing and fight for it and you will get rewarded. cavanagh will be on the bench. those who try to destroy him are going to be looked at and they are going to pay a price.

i think this is going to help us in the midterms. i hate that this is what it took to help republicans. to the other side, you made the biggest mistake of your life. to to the three republicans, you were all friends of mine, please be guessed now. everything about him, judge kavanaugh he is a good man. seven fbi investigations. hundred and 56 people. all of the stuff is garbage. >> laura: your manager back in 1998, i remember it well, democrats are pledging that if they take the house they could very well move to impeach brett kavanaugh. getting him convicted will be very difficult to do, do you expect that to happen if republicans lose the house and keep this saga going? >> i think the democratic party has been taken over by rationality, hatred is there only platform. it is not about who they like it is about who they hate.

the thought that you are guilty just by the accusation. if a democratic nominee were treated by the republicans as brett kavanaugh was treated by the democrats, everyone be up in arms. joe manchin, will he vote yes? >> if you listens to the people of west virginia he will. brett deserves your vote joe. he is my friend, i've known him a long time. the people of west virginia will remember it. >> laura: lindsey graham, thank you so much. brett kavanaugh and his fbi background check came out clean but for democrats that wasn't enough. up next, two former fbi agents give us insight into how this investigation likely played out. behind the scenes come i don't away.

>> this set of interviews is at best, most terribly, and complete. to put it bluntly, it is a

whitewash. a cover-up. >> the most notable part of this report is what is not in it. >> we had many fears that this was a very limited process having received a thorough briefing on the documents. those fears have been realized. >> laura: tonight senate democrats are certain that the fbi didn't conduct a full investigation into this charge against brett kavanaugh. what happens in an fbi investigation with this anyway? we wanted to hear from two men with decades of experience. steve pomerantz, the former fbi assistant director and from phoenix, the former fbi national spokesperson and special agent, great to have you with us. steve, i'll start with you. what you make of the democrats complaint that this couldn't be an investigation question are only five days and given the timeline. >> let's start with the reality here.

not one of them was ever interested in the truth to begin with. if the fbi would've spent two weeks, they would've wanted seven. if they would've interviewed a thousand people they would have 2,000. if they went back to grade school, they would wanted to go back to preschool. let's start with that is the reality. they did a surgical investigation of focusing on specific allegations that were made. that is what they did. that is what they set out to do and that is what they did. end of story, but it is not and we both know that. it is never going to end. >> laura: john, ford's lawyer today filed basically their own protest and a letter. they said that they demanded that ford be interviewed -- the report is done. that ford needs to be interviewed and brett kavanaugh again and that they need to interview ford's husband, her

various friends, and of course her. that without that, what does this all mean? this is just a big rush job by the republicans get this thing done. is there any way, shape, or form that this could be reopened at this late or is this just a silly howling at the moon? >> it sounds to me as if ford's attorneys need to be explained what is hearsay. interviewing people that weren't present, any comments you may have said is not relevant to an fbi investigation. this case is not going to be reopened for the simple fact that this is investigation number seven. it is not a lien report, 40 solid pages. single space type. a lot of information, just like steve said, every detail was narrowed down to what this very surgical investigation was. it is complete.

>> laura: steve, why didn't the interview kavanaugh again or forward? >> the argument is that they got all they need from all the testimony and old investigations. actually, i was hoping they would interview her because she has told her story more than once. but never been subject to a serious interview. a penetrative, exhaustive, face to face, impartial investigatio investigation. that would've happened had the fbi interviewed her. i know we are dealing with a very sensitive area when it comes with people with this activity but nevertheless, i am sure viewer would have done that. i think it would've been a good thing to do. >> laura: john, 15 seconds. they only have one copy of the report. fair or unfair that they get a half-hour to review what? >> i think it is fair, these are the rules that were under president obama. if they want to change the rules, by all means, they can read 40 pages and a half hour.

>> laura: guys, thank you so much. i've a question. what is the next 48 hours look like for the kavanaugh confirmation vote? a lab report is next.

♪ >> laura: it has taken a while but we are now in the final 48 hours before i confirmation vote for brett kavanaugh. there are still number of votes ahead. the latest and where we stand we are joined now by gillian turner and julian, what else can you call it? >> all eyes were on laser focus on the key republican swing vote. that is collins murkowski and flake. so far collins has said positively about the fbi report but she says she needs more time. something in short supply that
