and michael avenatti becomes the new star of the democratic party. should they be rewarded for what they have done? this has been a national disgrace. when you don't have the presumption of innocence. thanks for joining us, we will be back tomorrow night with mor more. g laura is next. >> laura: do you think nancy pelosi sleeps with her gavel? some people have a teddy bear or blank>> e. a >> sean: if you give her gavel, ashley will hit you and me in the head with it, i'm telling you. >> laura: you had a fantastic show tonight, we miss you in washington though. >> sean: while i missed the swamp, but i'm here in the high tax swamp. >> laura: welcome to "the ingraham angle" ." kavanaugh cleared, according to a supplemental fbi report that every senator has a red at this hour. in moments, we will show you how

the left is lashing out in g response. we will get exclusive reaction from the white house when kellyanne conway joins us live. marilyn matlin makes a rare television experience and match lap will be along as well. and one week after his fiery defense of judge kavanaugh became the rallying cry for conservatives, lindsey graham joins me tonight on where things stand now and where they go from here. plus, a "the ingraham angle" investigation. we've beento doing some investigating and to just how christine ford's name was leake leaked. but first, the democrats desperate salvage operation. that's the focus of tonight's angle. after another week of delay in the kavanaugh saga, the fbi supplemental report is in and it appears the democrats have lost another one. >> what we know for sure is the

fbi report did not corroborate any of the allegations against judge kavanaugh. >> laura: given the undecided hamlet figure jeff flake so the report does not contain any new core operation. while susan collins calls it very thorough. let me say again, the report, all 46 pages of it apparentlyer produced zero corroborating evidence to back up the accusations of kavanaugh's accusers. but as we come to expect, a straightforward factual revelations have zero influence on democrats going wild across america. for instance at the university of vermont they held a "cancel class and cancel cavanaugh kav" rally. how clever. and here inp washington, d.c., the hate machine was ramped up to full throttle. >> our democracy has been

hijacked by the powerful. i am angry but let me make it clear, i have a plan. >> laura: but isn't anger most effective when it becomes a chance? >> we are. we are. about two. about two. we need to. we need to. everyone. everyone. to pay. to pay. attention. attention. >> laura: and what would a w protest to be a few hollywood heavyweights? model emily rutkowski showed some outrage and midriff and that comedian amy schumer was as usual politically understated. >> a vote for kavanaugh is a

vote saying women don't matter. let's and stay together. let's fight, let's keep showing up. >> the good thing is when she was arrested she didn't have to put on prison garb, she was already wearing it. all over the capital there were roving protesters accosting senators. they attempted to bully senators like joe manchin of west virginia into casting a "no vote >> i don't understand why you can't look me in the eye. >> i'm looking at right now. >> how are you not listening to what i'm saying. >> laura: i love that. why are they always saying, look

at me? we see you, believe me we are averting our gaze. the democrats brazen tactics, i think they are a total turnoff. americans don't like this stuff, most people just want things to calm down. rasmussen's daily tracking poll had the president's approval today at 50%, not bad. a new ivv poll finds that at 40% which is a gain from last month. even better, that shows the supercharged enthusiasm is on the republican side. the democrats advantage tank from 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 inha it. as we noted by the white house, the fbi did not interview brett kavanaugh, nor did the fbi

interview dr. christine blasey 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 reduction be made public. why shouldn't all of america see the facts? >> laura: i think feinstein should have worn a white scarf or surrender. wouldn't that have been more appropriate? democrats wanted a witch hunt and it fizzled over lack ofth evidence. the facts americans will now focus on i think are the ones the left fear the most. the economic record of donald j. trump. jobless claims have dropped into a 49 year low. we now have 4.2% gdp growth with projections now to match or exceed that in the coming quarter. manufacturing jobs, remember president obama said they were never coming back, they are

growing at their fastest rate in 23 years.ac trump's republican party is actually offering something called results. also on foreign policy, trade, the agenda that people voted for for. meanwhile the democrats offer americans only this. >> why aren't you brave enough to talk to us and exchanged out with us. don't wave my your hand at me, i wave my hand at you. how dare you talk to her that way. >> is it over yet? there we go. well the door has closed but democrats are still howling or screeching. you just heard that. again, none of this is a governing agenda, is just more chaos and harassment, and anger and agitation. you really want to vote for more

of that in november? that's the end goal. joining me now is code pink's aerial gold. jennifer mascot, and a former advisor for both president bush and vice president cheney, mary matlin. let's go to you first ariel. they complained they wanted the investigation and they got it and now they are whining that it's not enough. zero corroborating evidence, or a six pages. >>o i think the real question s why so many women republican senators are not caring about the experiences of women. 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, was that the new tactic?

>> you know the sound of the screaming, do you think anyone finds that in any way enticing, influential, attractive, convincing? the screaming is not convincing. it's kind of just, cover your ears. i don't know how you guys think that's working. obviously you guys flamed out on this effort. >> we saw over 300 people arrested today, thousands of people taking over the senate building. this was people powered democracy in action. >> laura: do you guys have any jobs? i know you are code pink, do you get paid by code pink? >> i am on staff yes. >> i assume most other people there are taking time off work or mom and dad are paying their bills. >> i am myself the mother of two children. my daughter is 15 and i shudder to think of what this means toge

her, the message that she is getting -- >> laura: so you are worried that your daughter will not beto able to what? >> i'm worriedau that my daughtr is getting a message from congress that her experiences and her safety is not importantb be one so is it about abortion? are you worried that your daughter will not be able to get anld abortion? >> i'm also worried that my daughter will not be able to control her own production. mary matlin, you don't do a lot of tv but you know brett kavanaugh, you've known him for years. it wasn't like he was a trump republican, he was a bush appointee on the d.c. circuit. you saw this play out today. there's a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of anger and agitation on the left. they feel like they have momentum even if they lose the fight against kavanaugh. how do you see it? >> this is anarchy, not civil t discourse. it's anarchy and disk destruction of the culture.

we are specifying sissy-fighti. we've gone from not needing man, today's feminists want to castrate men and emasculate men. you know what will affect generations to come when men are behaving like sissies and women are behaving like anarchists and that's the definition of successful feminism? if you want to stand up for women, what about sweet little ashley cavanaugh who sat outside president bush's office, thecl epitome of class and decorum, and bret, who had the hardest job by my estimation in the white house, this staff secretary who practiced absolute unequivocal discretion and decorum. his friend who is a friend of ours is being attacked onro

facebook. they will probably run him out of there. because he attended the hearing of brett kavanaugh, whose wedding he was in and has been friends with for over 20 years. this transcends politics, this is really about culture and people are sick of everything from this itty accuracy that is infusing and in permeating everything in our culture, from football to public restrooms. you can't go anywhere. you can't go to a football game, you can't go -- >> laura: you can't do anything. go ahead. >> of the many incredible miraculous things that president trump has done, and it's nothing short of a miracle what he's gotten done, but he's done it in the face of constant thwarting and lying andnd salacious nests and of these viral attacks, and they are chasing his cabinet members and

staff out of restaurants. they are sending private information of senators. he has exposed the hypocrisy and ineptitude of the loyal opposition. people are tuning in and they are saying, who are these people? like i'm in new orleans and i'm like, who is this blumenthal guy or, ellison, what is the standard? you have a picture of your wife or your girlfriend being beaten up and you have medical records and no corroboration on brett kavanaugh and you are destroying his life. people will transcend politics. >> laura: jennifer, the cover of "time" magazine which you have probably seen, and we will put it up on the screen so people see it. it's a letter to white women who support brett kavanaugh. we need you to stand with women who are breaking the silence despite of their terror and shame. i believe inside of the bodies of those women who were laughing at the rally were other impulses

and feelings they weren't expressing. time is short. call your senator and stop laughing and start fighting. so it's kind of like, you white women, how dare you laugh at survivors? how dare you dismiss survivors? and that's kind of an emotional thing. if someone is a survivor of sexual assault, no one should laugh at them and no one wants to laugh at them. but this is not how a lot of fear minded people are saying this particular case. >> so judge kavanaugh is an excellent resident he himself has a lot of care for women. he's done an amazing job of men touring us in keeping up with us over the years. >> laura: we all know that, and i don't mean to interrupt you but, anything you saw when you are working for him? he was a judge for 12 years so 36 clerks? >> 48.

>> laura: anything you saw in his behavior toward the more than half of the clerks being women that w would give you paue about the way he treats women? >> absolutely not. nothing -- nothing anywhere close to anything like that. absolutely patient, gracious and respectful, aboveboard. >> laura: so are you shocked to hear these>> allegations when they first were reported? >> it was shocking. he hasn't along the way categorically denied them and they are totally inconsistent with everything i've known about him or seen in his presence. he's been an advocate for fair lawor and fair application of te law and women and men and training of the next generation of lawyers.on if the senate confirms him into the supreme court, he will apply the constitution fairly and try to look forward to justice for all americans. >> laura: all right, ariel, what'san next for code pink? >> we are not done. we will be out there again

tomorrow in the the next day. >> laura: doing what? >> we will be out there in the halls and the streets, calling for somebody -- for him to step down and for s us to have a nomination of somebody with a different temperament, of somebody who hasn't lied under oath. d somebody who doesn't have these accusations. and there are tons of people that have squeaky clean records that we could see being nominated. >> laura: so you would be in favor of amy coni barrett? >> i'm not saying i would be favoring them specifically but i think that's a more proper nomination. >> okay we have that on the record. amy coni barrett, more appropriate appropriate then brett kavanaugh. i love this panel. thanks very much. here with reaction on how the white hot house this feeling, we are joined by counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. thank you so much for being here tonight.

and staying up late for us. any concern for the white house about where there's a vote count stands right at this moment? we don't know about flake. collins seems like a "yes" and murkowski, no clue. >> we are feeling very confident that everything the democrats and even dr. ford have asked to be done in terms of major accommodations over the last two and half weeks have been done. the fbi supplemental iss completed, and this is the seventh -- count them, seventh fbi vetting that's been completed on judge kavanaugh including to justice calendar years. t and now it's time to vote. i'm not going to get ahead of those who are still sitting onil the fence but i will tell you that there are some red state democrats that have some terrible decisions to make. they either have to accede to the will of their voters who want judge kavanaugh confirmed and they want that ninth street filled in this united states supreme court, or they can be complicit with the process that has been fraught with hysterics

and hyperbole and hyperpartisanship and hapless democrats trying to undo election results from two years ago, trying to slow down this to get ahead of the midterm elections this year. they have to decide whether they will be part of that leftward drift. they own all those protesters if they vote against judge kavanaugh. they own all the c hysterics and all the craziness that you see there. i think we will have the votes and he ought to be confirmed. what happened in our culture, mary mary matlin is aptly correct. it won't go away. >> laura: they are out there tomorrow, they will be out there and theyth have the right to protest. this is america and you have the right to protest as long as it's civil and people don't get hurt. >> but it hasn't been. >> laura: richard blumenthal, my home state and connecticut saids. this today about the process, killing anna. let's watch. >> it strikes me as a neglect of

the fbi duty. but 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 today, that this investigation was circumscribed artificially. the deadline was artificial. the real facts didn't get out and this was a rush job and frankly a con job. that's what the left and the protesters were saying. >> he lied about his service ine vietnam, he didn't serve in vietnam but during vietnam and that's not just the difference of a word. this is somebody w that set rigt behind it mazie hirono of hawaii last week when she said, i just want to tell the men of america to shut up. and he smirked. that's one thing i agree with with her, he should definitely stop lying about the fbi and its investigation and with the white house did or didn'tit do.

the people that dr. ford herself claims could have corroborated her allegation were part of the fbi supplemental investigation. and guess what, they couldn't corroborate her allegation it turns out. you have a senator come forward respectively and say, one of them said there's not a hint of any t misconduct and the allegations have not been corroborated. but the point is this. there is no nominee that president trump will put forth that will satisfy liberal blumenthal. >> laura: know this is about the midterm. >> this is about the midterms but, by the way, i want to thank all these crazy liberals because they found something that i wasn't able to do. they have energized desperate republicans. there is no question about it. but i want to tell these folks, of course they have the right to protest and the first amendment said you can act crazy also.

but to coin into phrases -- the time is up and move on and they all talk about that. >> laura: kelly and, thank you so much for making time for us tonight. up next we solve a major question on the table about this ongoing drama and we will answer it.

>> laura: is a >> laura: as a confirmation vote for a kavanaugh look set for this weekend, we can't forget what happened at the very start of this whole fight. most importantly, how did reporters get their hands on christine ford's account in the first place? "the washington post" says that ford made the initial contact through the anonymous tip line. only after she had built a report with the reporter emma brown did for decide to come forward and give her on the record account. but i want to play this moment

during the hearing which really jumped out at me when i first watched it that i don't think is getting enough attention. ford was asked about the decision to come forward and said this. >> ultimately because reporters were sitting outside of my home and a reporter appeared in my graduate classroom, and i mistook her for a student. and she came up to ask me a question and i thought that she was a student and it turned out that she was a reporter. >> laura: at "the washington post" in a statement to the "the ingraham angle" tonight reaffirmed that ford came to them solely through their tip line and it was a reporters from other outlets that confronted ford at her home in place of residence. so where does that lead leave us? remember senator feinstein was confronted about possible leaks last week and had this kind of interesting exchange with

senator john cornyn. >> can you tell us that your staff to not leak it? >> i don't believe my staff would like it. i have not asked that question directly but i do not believe they would. >> do you know that, as you asked your staff? >> i just did. jennifer reminds me that i've asked her before about it, and that's true. >> 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. and it seems to be the authority on the question of weeks. we take the post at their word that their involvement in this story came totally through the tip line, but what we are less clear on tonight is, how the other reporters found themselves in possession of ford's identity? it's strange. we reached out to feinstein's office for clarity and as of 5 minutes ago they had not

gotten back to us. here to react, howie kurtz, a host of "media buzz" and match lap. how, let's start with you. assuming the post is being honest here, how do we think all these other reporters found out about ford and her account? >> extremely strong circumstantial evidence that it came from feinstein's staff because staff doesn't tell the boss that i'm about to leak this. and look where it went. first it was an anonymous letter, then "the new york times" that it's aboutt a woman in some sort of thing. then it was a buzz feed reporter at a liberal site which went to ford's home and where she was teaching. finally the new yorker gets the actual lettersh and publishes it and it was at that point that ford said, people know who i am and generals know who i am, i'll tell my own story. >> but the idea that some person might christine ford, how can i get this, i will just type it on the anonymous tip line.

something about the story doesn't add up. given the importance of guarding these documents, uncorroborated allegations to the senate judiciary committee, to avoid this happening again, shouldn't it be the case that the cell phones, emails, text whether deleted or not, are preserved. any text you to lead, you can get that back. all of those are preserved andio we find out any connections between the feinstein office in "the washington post,"hi specifically friendships and romantic relationships between feinstein's people and the post. >> after thomas and anita hill, there were some learnings. one is when you go back and look at this fbie report, only senators can look at it. either dr. ford is a terrible victim in all of this for dr. ford in combination with these democratic staffers and members, and may be the democrat

that started this whole thing and maybe with the lawyers who they found for her, they were trying aggressively to push dr. ford to be public, so they were actually leaking on dr. ford to get her out there because they wanted the emotions of that hearing. that's what they wanted and they thought that would derail it all. and they got the opposite. >> "the washington post" responded to us today by sayingy no one linked anything to us. she ultimately decided she was willing to put herpu name on the record after reporters from other outlets appeared at her home and workplace, at which time chose to publish her story. again. does thats ring true? >> it's true that "the washington post" didn't go with the story without on the record interviews and try to do a legitimate investigation. i've covered so many of these stories, what happens is, it becomes like an open secret. a source tells one reporter, or the reporters talk to each other and nobody quiteit wants to go with itth because it's an explosive allegation and they don't have the complainant on

the record. eventually it gets out there and someone goes and tries to ambush the person or hang out for a stock them, and that is how eventually it comes about. i believe christine ford was pressured to go public. >> laura: there are things we have to focus on here. this is also regarding whether the triangle -- the devil's triangle. this was chris cuomo and don lemon last night, let's watch. >> how does he sign it? >> he finds it ffff. >> he sure likes making fun of that stuttering guy. >> that is not stuttering. that is not stuttering, do a google search. and devils triangle is not a drinking game. he knows that and everybody else does, except for maybe some sooners who want to believe him. >> laura: other tweets -- this is really fascinating tv.

other tweets, it's over, jeff flake. oh, yes. if it was a drinking game, it looks like in this report, this is a drinking game guys. apparently you are a bunch of geeks who have never played it. >> you have to give don lennon some credit. he accused me of being racist because i criticized kamala harris andha cory booker for thr outrageous behavior. it's racism. but it's okay to pick on a catholic? >> laura: didn't they say that relationship went down in a black hole some months ago? >> that could be racist, too. >> the eye much more careful with my fs. fantastic segment, we will stay on the leak issue by the way. one week after his explosive

senate remarks became the rallying cry for conservatives behind judge kavanaugh, lindsey graham stops by and tells us where things stand tonight. don't go away

>> laura: >> laura: the man who is really led the galvanized efforts behind the g.o.p. is lindsey graham. in one week after his fiery call to arms, i loved it. the center senator is feeling e confident than ever after reading the fbi report on kavanaugh. senator graham joins us to talk about that and more. what other games can we c expect from the democrats before this thing goes to the final vote? >> think of the dumbest idea and they will do it. if they ever write a book about overplaying your hand in politics, this is in your first chapter. the fbi reports, supplemental and background check and the interviewed nine people. they followed suit the direction of the three senators who ask for more fbi investigation. he came back very good for judge

kavanaugh and i would expectot these three senators will voteho yes. i hope they will because that's what they asked for. >> laura: the complaint from thee left, there are a lot ofew them. we have a few senators, a few of your friends and others who commented on it. >> it's obviously a cover-up. at the trump white house, working with the republican leadership inn the senate have deliberately circumscribed this investigation. they make a mockery of the constitutional requirement that the senate provides, and gets advice and consent. >> that's an investigation, it's a bleeping investigation. the reality is, that's not a full and thorough investigation. >> not full and not thorough, they did an interview kavanaugh or ford or deborah deborah ramt second cousin twice removed. >> this is your view of thema

senate the role, to take a good man's life and turn it upside down and betray dr. ford's trust, do everything the world to destroy him and hold this seat open past the midterms. it's despicable and it will blow up in your face and i hope it does because he will get on the cord. they have no idea what the fbi and supplemental investigation was about. they made up their mind to vote no before anyone said hello.he so here's what the three senators asked for. that the people named that ford would interview the fbi, and ms. ramirez would be interviewed by the fbi. that was done plus four or five other witnesses. the results are in, senator senator collins and senator flake said they thought it was thorough t and fair and these two people who are my friends have no idea what they are talking about. and let me tell you, my friend bob, what you all have done is [bleep]. >> laura: whatau you talk aboue

emotion that drove christinene ford in the country rallying behind her, and it seems like he's taking this into kind of a midterm post. let's watch. >> dr. ford came forward and one america's hearts. and our republican colleagues were upset because that might derail the headlong rush to put judge kavanaugh on theh supreme court. >> laura: your headlong rush. you are rushing this because you want to get it through as fast as possible. it could be more of an investigation but this was emotionally based. and you saw those professors on capitol hill, lots of women. they promised that they are going to keep doing this. we will keep hassling you guys in elevators and cornering you in the hall and the protest culture which is talked about at the beginning of the show will>> continue. >> it won't work with me. i think my colleagues are still offended as to senator schumer.

i've never been moreou disappointed in you and your party. if you are the ones that know about dr. ford's accusations in july and she requested to remain anonymous. it was somebody on your side that leaked it to the press for political purposes. somebody -- her own lawyers who were advised to be appointed by his senator feinstein, but apparently never told dr. cord that we had been not -- please and abuse this woman anymore. her accusations have not been corroborative. time, place and location, wed don't know anymore now that we knew before. the people she named don't know what she's talking about. it offends me that senator schumer would continue to abuse dr. ford. they are the ones with the politics. i voted for it so the mayor and megan, but this is the defining moment for the 2018 election, it's unfair. >> laura: let's talk about repercussions, what happened.f

either the filing of false affidavits, although that can be proved. but what about to this leaking issue? we talked about that on the show tonight before your parents.s it seems like someone is note telling the truth here about what happened on the senate side. do you believe what dianne feinstein said when she said, i didn't ask anyone and then said, they take it -- they tell me i did ask them. no one on my staff linked tot this. >> i believe dianne feinstein didn't like it but i don't know about her staff. she hates trump as a politically active will lawyer and she was not told about about our legal team.n i know somebody on their side leaked an anonymous letter without a postmark. >> so why not secure their emails and texts, leaking confidential information -- you are going to do that tonight? >> anyone who did this will pay a price. the people who expose my name or

senator lee or senator hatch, that person will make sure it never happens again in the best way to make sure it never happens again is to punish those who did it. >> what's less and do you think the president should take out of all of this? is there a moment where the party finally in my mind got unified behind with this president wants to do? of the is on fire, great judges and nafta renegotiated. what's next? >> if you appoint a good person gets destroyed in a despicable manner, and you fight for him, people will like you more. whether you are trump, republican, libertarian or -- you are all together now thanks to it a specific attack. it is r with the president want- i want the president to know. do the right thing and you will fight for it. kavanaugh will be on the bench and those that try to destroy

him will be looked at and they will pay a price. i think this will help us in the midterms. i hate that this is what it took to help republicans but to the other side, you made the biggest mistake of your life. there are three republicans and you are all friends of mine. if you were a "yes" before this debacle, please be a "yes" no. he's a good man, seven fbi investigation and 156 people interviewed over the 2016. >> but you warehouse impeachment manager back in 1998 and democrats are pledging, some, that if they take the house, they could very well much, but i will watch it. do you think that will happen? >> i think the democratic party has been taken over by irrationality. hatred is there only platform and it's not about who they

like, it's who they hate. i don't believe in america that you have to prove yourself innocent, that you are guilty just by the accusation that there is no requirement to cooperate because you are republican. if the democratic male nominee were treated by republicans, every media outlet in the country would be up in arms. >> laura: joe manchin, do you think you will vote yes or no? >> do i think you will. >> show is my vote. >> laura: lindsey graham, thank you so much for being with us.bi brett kavanaugh's background check came out clean but for democrats, that's really not enough. next, two former fbi agents give us insight into how this investigation likely played out. behind the scenes, don't go awa away.

>> this set of interviews is at best, >> that interview is at best,

most charitably, woefully incomplete. to put it bluntly it smacks of a whitewash, even a cover-up. >> the most notable part of this report is what's 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. >> two nights democrats are certain that the fbi did not conduct a full investigation into the still on corporate charges uncorroborated charges against kavanaugh. and, he's a former fbi national spokesperson and special agent. steve, i want to start with you. what do you make of the democrats complaint that thiss couldn't be a complete investigation? only five days and given the

timeline? >> let's start with the reality. and, that if the fbi would have spent two weeks, they would have wanted seven weeks. if the fbi would've interviewed a thousand people that would have wanted 2,000. if they went back to grade school, they would want preschool. so let's start with that as a reality. it was a surgical investigation of focusing on specific allegations that were made. that's what they sent out to do and that's what they did. kind of end of story but it's not the end of the story. we both know that. >> ford's lawyers today file basically their own protest in a letter. they demanded that ford be interviewed, the report is done but it's like founded in fury and signifying nothing at this point.

they need to interview ford's husband, and of course her. without that, is there any way, shape or form that this could be reopened at this late date? or is this just a silly howling at the moon at this point? >> it sounds to me as a ford's attorneys need to be explained what is hearsay. because interviewing people that weren't present, and it's not relevant to a fbi investigation. this case will not be reopened for the simple fact that this is investigation number seven, and it's not a lien report. 40 solid pages and single-spaced type, a lot of information just like steve said. that is narrowed down to the surgical information.

>> the argument is, they have all they need for all the testimony and all the investigations proceeded. i was hoping they would interview her because she has told a penetrative exhaustive, face-to-face impartial investigation. and that would have been, we are dealing with a very sensitive area with people who allege theses, kind of activities but nevertheless i'm sure the bureau would have done this. it would have been a good thing to do. >> laura: john, 15 seconds. we only have one copy of the report and send stress get a half-hour to review it. not fair or unfair? >> i think it's fair, these are the rules that were set up under

president obama. they could read 40 pages in a half-hour. >> okay, speed read. and i have a question, where today's send it sitting senators? and what does the next 48 hours look like for the cavanagh confirmation vote? a live report, next.

♪ >> laura: it has taken a while but we are now i >> laura: well, it's taken a while but we are now in the final 48 hours before confirmation vote for brett kavanaugh. there's still a number of key votes ahead. we have gillian turner, what else can you tell us? >> tonight all eyes remain laser focused on the key republican swing vote. collins, murkowski and flake. so far they spoke positively about the fbi report but murkowski says she needs more

time, something in short supply for the pressure cooker that is capitol hill tonight. >> this process has been ruled by fear and anger, and underhanded gamesmanship for too long. it's time for us to stand up to this kind of thing. >> this is about hijacking our democracy. i am angry and i own it. eco-a new ranch in the plans, senator steve daines of montana said he wouldn't be available on saturday at any point, even if there was a vote for kavanaugh who he strongly supports. he is said to be in montana, walking his daughter down the aisle. recently told fox news that with the fluid timing of the fbi release they couldn't avoid a potential schedule conflict. but fox news can confirm that he spoke directly tonight with cavanaugh. he made arrangements to get him there and across the finish line as needed. without him on the hill, he

neededan every one of the 51 remaining republicans. murkowski and collins were two of t the three. now the senate is slated to convene tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. and by rule the procedural vote is at 10:30 a.m. if the senate invokes cloture, they have 30 hours max. if theyho take all of the 30 hos that puts them to about 5:00 p.m. for the vote. >> are you covering the protest tomorrow? >> if you need to wear a bike helmet, some sort of protective gear tomorrow. and we will be right back with the last bite.
