worth sending.th thanks again for a great week. we're looking forward to seeing you on monday. guess who's next?? you know the answer. sean hannity, we turn it over to him. have a great weekend. ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity," that is a fox news alert at this hour. due process? the presumption of innocence? the rule of law, common sense, are on the precipice of a monumental victory. but let us be clear, this has been an extremely ugly, scary, frankly despicable 22 days. there is hope tonight. today, in what became an extremely powerful and historic speech on the u.s. senate floor, susan collins of maine announced her support for judge brett m kavanaugh. but more importantly, it was hed explanation of how she arrived at her decision that was soex impressive. senator joe manchin followed her lead.si kavanaugh looks poised to be confirmed as the next u.s. supreme court justice.

coming up tonight, we'll review how senator collins bravely restored sanity and order to the u.s. senate. predictably, the left in a full meltdown mode, it is very ugly, they have been exposed. they tried to ruin a man's life for political gain. they turned the confirmationpr process for a u.s. supreme court into a circus. something, frankly, befitting of a banana republic. with 32 days until the all-important mid-term elections, it is time as a country that we examine everything that is at stake for this great country of ours. this kind of lawless, shameful behavior, not only should it not be tolerated or accepted by we, the people, it's got to stop. and we could never forget how we now have a group of people thate have embraced smear, slander, lies, bludgeoning to literally smashing and slashing basic rights that have served us well. sit tight, the weekend is almost here.

not yet.t, kavanaugh's vote is tomorrow. it is time for tonight's friday breaking news, openingor monologue. ♪ before i get to the breaking news, and there is a lot, i want to take a minute, i want to say something. i have never witnessed a speech on the u.s. senate floor that was as powerful as the speech today given by senator collins of maine. her remarks today, i have been in talk radio 30 years tomorrow, incidentally. i begin my 23rd year here at fox news channel. it was, frankly, the best speech i ever witnessed in the u.s. senate. it was an example on how all senators should make decisions and conduct themselves. senator collins was methodical, thoughtful, respectful, clearly did her homework, laid out her judicial philosophy. that of judge kavanaugh. she showed a grasp of theva constitution, supreme court precedent, and gave a chilling and sad description of the

environment that we're all living in today. it was truly a modern day profile in courage. frankly, i don't know susan collins, and i don't know her well at all, i don't getno impressed that often. the speech today, frankly, blew me away. she should be proud. frankly, it had a lot less to do with her decision, although that's very important in all of this. than the pure human decency, fairness, and process that she employed to get to her decision. let's take a look. >> today, we have come to the conclusion of a confirmation process that has become so disfunctional, it looks more like a character of a gutter level political campaign than a solemn occasion. judge kavanaugh has received rave reviews for his 12-year track record as the judge,

including for his judicial temperament. the american bar association gave him its highest possible rating. in evaluating any givencl claim of misconduct, we will be ill-served in the long run if we abandon the presumption of innocence and fairness. i listened carefully to christine blasey ford's testimony before the judiciary committee. i found her testimony to be sincere, painful, and compelling. the four witnesses she named could not corroborate any of the events of that evening gathering where she said the assault occurred. g none of the individuals professor ford says were at the

party have any recollection at all of that night. the facts presented do not mean that professor ford was not sexually assaulted that night or at some other time. but they do lead me to conclude that the allegation failed toat meet the more likely than not standard. therefore, i do not believe that these charges can barely prevent judge kavanaugh from serving on the court. mr. president, i will vote tong confirm judge kavanaugh. >> sean: i have not always agreed with senator collins. even some things she said in her speech i disagree with in terms of precedent and the law. that's not the issue. she bravely restored common sense, decency to the u.s.

senate and led by example. and she had to stand up to a very angry left wing mob, and she stood for principles that make this country great. showed real courage. she took the process from the beginning seriously. she protected the sanctity of the u.s. constitution. due process, presumption of innocence. and in doing so, she exposed what is the hyper partisan frankly destructive nature of so many smear merchants that existt on the left today. and by the way, there are some on the right, too., senator lindsay graham who's going to be joining news a few minutes with senator ted cruz, he also deserved a lot of credit. his powerful moment lit a fire for truth, justice, and decency in the country. many democrats proclaimed theiro opposition to judge kavanaugh within seconds of his nomination. others upended the hearings with endless interruptions, grandstanding, the worst of the

worst. worst of all, many democrats actually went along with accusing brett kavanaugh of even being a rapist, a gang rapist. no presumption of innocence at all. drugging girls routinely at parties. they called him evil. compared him to bill cosby. men were told to sit down and shut up. zero corroborating evidence. based on 36-year old claims that were backed up by nobody. the republicans took this rightly serious, it's a serious topic. lawmakers, some of them didn't care. they wanted to ruin a man's life and his reputation forever. and i'm pretty certain tonight, brett kavanaugh, his wife, his two young daughters, i'm sure they'll never be the same again. we as a country, could not reward this madness, meanness, insanity.

now many on the left are lashing out at senator collins, predictably.sh an opinion website owned byy univision called splinter, published a piece entitled "bleep susan collins." it's all over the place. don't even read social media. nut job, so-called comedian kathy griffin, had the severed head of donald trump, telling collins to go to hell. the official twitter of the women's march published this picture, calling her, "a rape apologist." this is so over the top. so, so despicably ugly and disgusting. what are too many of the same people claim to have a monopoly on compassion for women, minorities, humans, civil right rights? wouldn't they be showing outrage if any conservative in a this country ever said and did such things? very dangerous time for this country.

weeks prior to her speech, susan collins had left wing activists sending thousands of coat hangers to her office. made threatening, derogatory calls to her staff. tried to bribe her with a crowd funding campaign.th angry mob of left wing protesters harassing senators all over capitol hill. this is now getting dangerous. take a look.da [chanting] >> shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. >> [chanting "don't put a liar on the court"] >> [chanting] >> [chanting "believe where

men"] [chanting "believe women"] >> sean: let me say something, i believe that people should be close to their elected representatives. it's sad what i'm about to say. before somebody gets hurt, or worse, these office areas of o elected officials need to behe closed to the public. sad, but it needs to happen. this is now dangerous and out of control. and of course the left predictably, acting out in ways on tv that are frankly unconscionable. many cases on so-called news networks. take a look. >> when, not if, when judge kavanaugh helps them to chip away at civil rights, voting rights, womens' rights, abortion rights, i don't think it's going to sit well with the country. >> don't forget these people would go to church and then go to the lynching after clothinghu themselves in morality. that's what we see today. >> clearly the republicans don't care about the truth. they didn't want an investigation into who brett kavanaugh really was,

that was gutness. unfortunately, we are where we are. this is a travesty for america. >> the problem with america right now is that we've lost the moral compass. >> sean: for the last 22 days22 we, americans, have witnessed what is an unrivaled insanity, a madness that's taken over. and it's now shaking the very core principles that every oneri of us, doesn't matter about politics, should be holding near and dear to our hearts. rule of law, due process, presumption of innocence. democrats, well, are we going to reward this behavior? shouldn't people be facing consequences for what is reckless actions?ac senator feinstein may be the subject of an ethics probe, who leaked professor ford's letter. now a witness tampering investigation should take t plae after claims that one of professor ford's close friends,o who she listed to corroborate her story, admitted to the fbi she was being pressured into altering her statement. all of this aside, in 32 days,

there is now -- we've all learned something. there is something a lot more profound on the ballot than anybody is talking about or telling you. on the one side, we now have one party in america, i want to purposely exclude joe manchin of west virginia. that had become a party, that has been overtaken by the far left. they don't even have room for joe lieberman in this party. remember what they did to him in connecticut. i've known him for decades. one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. we have now witnessed in 22 days a party that clearly stands for a type of government that is alien to everything that this country we love was founded on. a party rejecting and simply just hating what we all thought we agreed on. core, basic, fundamental principles. rejecting even our constitution. demanding full and complete conformity.

if you don't agree, god help you. a party of blatant double standards that can remain totally say lent about gross allegations against keith ellison, bill clinton, they love the clintons but pretend to care about women's rights. obviously selective moral outrage. it's a party that envisions ideology and agenda, spread through the courts.da they want activist judges, they want legislation that they could never get passed themselves done from the court. they don't want separation of powers. coequal branches. this is what made this confirmation process so political. it shouldn't matter tonight, there is zero gloating here, or i wanted brett kavanaugh to win. because i thought he deserved the position. and i thought i agree with his judicial philosophy. i don't care if you're a republican, democrat, liberal, conservative. what we have been watching the last 22 days in this country,

this is not justice. in 32 days from now, human rights will be on the ballot. treating every american withn fundamental fairness, respect, equal justice under the law, equal application of the laws. that is on the ballot in 32 days. think of the sacrifice of our founders, our framers, in 32 days, after what we have now lived through, this will be about affirming american history and values that they all fought, bled, died for, sacrificed for us. due process, presumption of innocence, why is that ever political? constitutional rights, civil liberties. in 32 days, you, we, the people have a choice to reaffirm these values, these principles that so many brave men and women fought, many died for. those who understood the values of freedom and justice, made

this country great and served ua well. in 32 days this election is about preserving all that is good and right and just in this country and taking a stand for future generations for our children, our grandchildren.n. what we have witnessed unfold, these last 22 days is absolutely the single most despicable display of guilt by in 32 days, this is also about your life. right now, you ask yourselves, are you better off than you were two years ago?r because by every reportable, objective, discerning measure, this country is now in the middle of a recovery and boom that is the envy of the world. we learned today, unemployment in america, the rate dropped to the lowest point in nearly 50 years. 1969, the mets won the world series, it's now 3.7%.

we learned that hispanic unemployment matched the record low. add to that historic low for african-americans, asian-americans, women in the thrkplace and youth unemployment. record low unemployment in 14 states. look at manufacturing. manufacturing is now near an all-time high. this 400,000 new manufacturing jobs, jobs that the last administration said were never coming back. consumer confidence at an all-time high.ni four million of our fellow citizens, forgotten men and women we talked about so much of in 2016, four million fewer on food stamps. four million jobs created. eight million americans out of poverty. the promises of the president that he keeps, his tax cut, the largest in history. border wall construction, $3 billion already spent, he's keeping that promise. the promise on nafta, that we get better trade deals, pulling out of obama's catastrophic

iranian deal. look at the progress on the korean peninsula. i don't see missiles flying over japan.re he's opened up what will be the might and prosperity for all of america that could literally help bring about more peace than we ever imagined. that is, of course, the engine of our economy. we have more energy, natural gas, oil, and coal than all of these other countries combined. for all of you never-trump republicans, i have a message for you. if you had your way,y, none of this would have happened. and by the way, i'm talking about you so-called conservative republicans, who said "i'll never vote for trump." well, you can't take your victory lap tonight. you know who you are. you are the ones out there podcasting, writing books that no one buys, self-promotingro johnny-come-latelies. you owe the real conservatives in the country an apology.

if you had your way, none of this would be happening. tonight as the horrific kavanaugh confirmation process demonstrated, this election is about so much more than undoing these incredible two years. i've said it before, i'll say it again, i'll shout it from the mountain top if i have to, thehe single most important mid-term election in our lifetime. joining us now, a man who deserved a lot of credit for this moment, senator lindsey graham of south carolina. senator, i'm happy -- >> thank you. >> sean: i'm happy about the'm success this country had. you told me when i saw you in washington, i said, what's susan collins like, i asked you the question. you said, she is somebody that will look at every fact, nobody will sway her, and she will decide, i think that was the most powerful speech i've seen on the senate floor. >> well, it's historic. it changed the trajectory of where we're headed in the senate

in terms of confirming judges. she adopted the rule of law, rejected the rule of the mob.he if i had to tell somebody a good reason to vote for judge kavanaugh, i would ask them to look at susan's speech. it was incredible in detail. forcefully delivered. she didn't look like she wasiv pained. she hated what happened to the process but she was confident that judge kavanaugh was the right guy at the right time. i think she saved the senate and the judiciary from sliding into the abyss. >> sean: you know, senator, i argue i don't think we would be here without your courage. but, no, i've known you a long time. >> [chuckling] >> sean: we've had our disagreements publicly and privately. >> i'm sure we will again. >> sean: thanks, senator. i can't wait for the next battle. >> me, too i'm getting tired of the lovefest crap. [laughing] >> sean: there's a lot more onon the ballot in 32 days. am i wrong?2 i'm worried about what i've been witnessing. >> there's two choices, the

susan collins way oror the protester way. who do you want to run the government? conservatives aligned with senator collins, trying to work toward empowering people, making us safe, more money in your pocket. or do you want to turn youret government over to people who just yell and spit on you. to me, this is a really important time in american history. it's now all about kavanaugh. before it was about a lot of things. now it's pretty simple. if you vote for the democratic party, you're turning your government over to people who follow you around, spit on you, try to intimidate you. if you keep the republican party in place, that means there will be an alliance between susan collins and others to keep us safe and make our lives better. that's a pretty simple choice. >> sean: you know, senator, i really believe this, after what we've witnessed now, and this has been building. you guys, you have to clear the halls, where your offices are. >> yes. >> sean: i honestly fear

somebody is going to get hurt here. >> me, too. i've never, you know, we've been, you know -- the one thing i like about senator collins, if you think can you change her mind by yelling at her and showing up at her house, you're dead wrong. again, i want to compliment her for stopping what i thought was the closest thing to mccarthyism in my lifetime, that a man is guilty until proven innocent, facts don't matter, smearing him equates to him being disqualified. she stood tall. the best thing that happened to a good man is for a strong woman to come to his aid. that's exactly -- susan came to the aid of an independentt judiciary tonight. >> sean: is it true that senator is going to be able to make it to walk his daughter down the aisle, you worked that out? >> i think they have worked it out. i want him to be able to do both. but we're human beings is the point. we're not perfect. b judge kavanaugh is a human being. and it's all going to turn out well, god bless susan collins and jeff flake. >> sean: honestly, those that

stood up for due process, those that stood up for the presumption of innocence, i thought would be something we all agree and apparently this is how bad it's gotten. senator, you served your country well in this process. >> thank you. >> sean: thank you for all you did. >> see you in november. >> sean: more to get to when we come back, senator ted cruz joins us as this breaking news night continues. we're glad you are with us. ♪ and an ice plant. but we brought power to the people- redefining what that meant from one era to the next. over 90 years later we continue to build as one of the nation's largest investors in infrastructure. we don't just help power the american dream. we're part of it. this is our era. this is america's energy era. nextera energy

♪ >> despite the turbulent, bitter fight surrounding his nomination, my fervent hope is that brett kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in the m

supreme court. so that we have fewer 5-4le decisions, far fewer. so that public confidence in our judiciary and our highest court is restored. >> sean: more senator susan collins criticizing theor partisanship throughout the kavanaugh confirmation hearing, her hope, that justice kavanaugh will restore confidence in our system. here with my reaction to all of this news, senator ted cruz of texas. in 32 days are you on the ballot. >> yes. >> sean: going up against, what's his name, beto o'roarke, i keep reading a cult figure.. in spite of awful things he's written about women, a, and apparently according to a police report got a dui and lied about leaving the scene of an accident, according to the, report. how would he vote in the senate, would he vote for senator schumer, would he have voted against judge kavanaugh?

>> beto o'roarke is a hard no on brett kavanaugh. he was a hard no before the allegations, he's a hard no now. he's running a hard left campaign like elizabeth warren, bernie sanders. i think this is kavanaugh fight shows with the stakes are internet races across the country. today was a very good day. tomorrow, judge brett kavanaugh is going to become justice brett kavanaugh. but we won by the slimmest of margins. it's why this election matters, why it matters that we come out and stand up.. the smear campaign we have. seen, particularly in the last two weeks has been a new and disgraceful low for the united states senate. it's not acceptable to just go after and slander judge kavanaugh, slander his family. treat his kids to this kind of horrific abuse. it's not right. >> sean: senator, i live in

new york, rough and tumble, of new york. probably a little more street wise than i should be in life. but i'd rather live in texas, because you pay no state income taxes. and new york state -- >> we'd love to have you, sean. >> sean: i want to ask this. you've been in rough and tumble races. you and the president haveum disagreements. you have supported the agenda of the biggest tax cut, securingg our borders. >> absolutely. >> sean: conservative originalists on the supreme court. you are known for your knowledge of the constitution. what do you make of the dangers, if this behavior were to be rewarded? >> well, what we've seen in the last two years is the extreme left, is just filled with rage, they're filled with anger, they're filled with hatred for president trump.pr it's spilling out, it's spilling out in nasty and angry protestss during the kavanaugh hearing. first day of the hearing, 70 people were arrested with the

active complicity of democratic senators.f just yesterday, 300 people were arrested at the capitol. we're seeing this anger, this bitterness. you know, this week we had some one send white powder to our campaign office in texas that ended up having hazmat and the fbi called in because the concern was that it was anthrax. it turned out to be negative. but we're in this environment where there's an anger, a rage, a fury, and it's wrong. it is wrong to just smear some one's character like they have done to judge kavanaugh. for that matter, it's wrong to do what the democrats did to out dr. ford. she asked that the allegations be kept confidential. the congressional democrats didn't care, they outed her against her will. that is wrong. we have to find a way to disagree with each other but still engage with civility, treat each other with decency like human beings. >> sean: you know, you were in a tough primary with president trump. p it's not beanbags. >> sure.

>> sean: you gave, you took. you said at a debate at the end of the day -- you were asked, well, why did you make the decision to go along with the president. you said, because i'm hereer to represent the people of texas. seems like that campaign -- i know the president is a disruptor, he breaks a lot of dishes, but we see the results,, don't we? and you put the people of your state ahead. nothing ever has been this bad. i've never seen things this awful. >> the anger, the fury, the frankly threats of violence are really disturbing. >> sean: due process! >> senators, people showing up at their house, threatening their family. it's not good for the country. and you look at this hearing, the basic principles of due process, as you said, the basic principles of the presumption of innocence, you're innocent until proven guilty. you know, listen, once these allegations were made they were serious. they needed to be treated with respect. we needed to have a full and

fair hearing, and we did.. we needed to give dr. ford an opportunity to treat her with respect and we did. but also we needed to give judge kavanaugh an opportunity to defend himself. sct and he should have been treated were respect and he wasn't. the democrats couldn't, instead, they did theatrics and mock outrage. they were shocked -- shocked that teenagers drink in high school and college. goodness gracious! and they were even more shocked that 17-year-olds say stupid things in their yearbooks. it was a ridiculous circus. they were willing to smear a good man and his family for political ends. that's not america. >> sean: and no corroboration, no corroboration. >> yes. >> sean: let me ask you this. i watched you and i know your wife, heidi, get run out of a restaurant. we've seen it happen to secretary nielsen. pam bondi, sarah sanders, mitch mcconnell. it's happening on a daily basis. i don't think you should leave the halls of the senate open.ay and i'm saying that for the

safety, protection of people we elect. i fear for everyone's safety at this moment. >> there are a lot ofaf senators who are having that conversation. monday night, heidi was up in d.c. and the two of us went out about 9:00 at night to do a date night, two of us, we don't get to do that very often. we showed up at a restaurant that we love. it's a delightful restaurant. unfortunately somehow the protesters were there waiting for us as we walked in, they surrounded us, they screamed atu us, they basically shut down the restaurant and they made it impossible to have dinner.t so heidi and i got up to leave, they blocked her from getting out. when we left the restaurant, this actually has not been reported, but we left the restaurant, went out the door and around the back alley. this mob of about 15 screaming leftist protesters chased heidi and me down the alley screaming and yelling at us. a waiter from the restaurant let us in the back door to the kitchen. and we took shelter in the kitchen with this screaming mob outside. now i'll tell you a happy

ending, about 10 minutes later the police arrived and they removed the protesters. and i asked heidi, well, what do you want to do, go somewhere else?? she said, no. i like this restaurant, let's go have date night. we went back through the kitchen, sat down at the same table and had a delightful romantic dinner. just the two of us. >> sean: [laughs] good ending to the story. senator, you've always stood up for the constitution, deeply held principles of due process and presumption of innocence. and your election is important in 32 days. we wish you all the best. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, sean, everyone come to tedcruz.org, stand with us, we're fighting for the country. >> sean: when we come back, democrats, members of the media, have a complete meltdown after senator collins' historic speech. we'll play you the tape, get s reaction from tammy bruce and herman cain. t they are next. stay with us. busy breaking news friday night. ♪

>> sean: more atox to ant's big breaking news, sarah carter and author of "liars, leakers and lies" the host of justice, judge jeanni >> sean: here with more reaction to tonight's big breaking news, sara carter and author of "liars, leakers and liberals" the host of "justice," judge jeannine pirro.da sara, in news, we have oneed senator, senator daines, supposed to be walking his daughter down the aisle. but from what i understand, they have procedurally worked it out, lisa murkowski votes present, that allows him to stay where he is, i assume will be the case? >> yeah that, is the case, sean.

i think it's great news. you know, we understand how important this is, of course, he wants to walk his daughter down the aisle. but the vote is extraordinarily important and historical. i think what we saw today was an extraordinary moment in historyt one that we haven't really experienced. particularly with senator collins' speech. so i think people are taking this very seriously. tomorrow is another historical day. and i think the american people for once, right now, are unified behind kavanaugh, not everyone, but a lot of people believe that judge kavanaugh should be nominated. >> sean: judge, a lot of people, there's two stories that i like to tell about you. one that i will never be able to tell about what a courageous human being i know you to be. the other one is, how you, as a prosecutor, you spent a career going after predators. there are evil people in the world. there are rapists, there are men

that will drug women, abuse women, abuse children. this was your passion, for your time as a district attorney. and when you see -- look at the story about, well, almost every weekend they would drug girls e and line up in the halls, gang rape these girls. >> um-hum, um-hum. >> sean: it gets repeated everywhere. >> sean, i'm here in washington, it was repeated m everywhere. it doesn't matter if it's true. i'm here in washington andns people have breathed a sigh of relief after hearing susan collins and her recent, deliberative, lucid argument and a rebuttal of everything with the democrats, as i call them now, demon rats, have been saying. in essence, what happened today and what will happen tomorrow, is that the united states senate will stand up to the hating, resisting, obstructing,

gansta-like individuals that want to put a stop to the democracy. and just as susan collins did that, in november, americans need to put a stop to the lunacy. >> sean: we came this close to rewarding no due process, no presumption of innocence, no rule of law of which our great constitutional republic, it has served us so well. if that won the day, and it came close, scary to me. >> very. and i still fear for the country, sean. if we don't make sure that we vote, then there's going to be a problem.e sorry, sara. >> it's okay, judge jeannine, i agree with you wholeheartedly. it was scary. but something else came to mind today, sean, to me. we live in a great nation. it didn't happen. and this is the reason why, people come from all over the world to be a part of this

great country because of our constitution. because of what we stand for. today our government showed that with methodical thinking, what susan collins did, senator collins, and how she laid outin her argument, using historical precedents, and really looking at the facts, i'm calling it for what it is, this is an innocent man, this is an innocent man, and he was being framed to some extent by the democratic party, and we stood up to that. and as a nation i think we really superseded that fear. we showed that we can do it and move forward. and i think that's what is important here. >> sean: sara has,po and john solomon and others, huge couple of breaking news stories next week, i can only mention that. >> right. >> sean: it's going to be big. you want to tune in. don't forget, judge jeannine pirro, tomorrow night, 9:00 p.m. on the fox news channel. when we come back, ed henry with a live update on tomorrow's

. >> sean: here now with an update to latest reaction to senator collins powerful speech on why she will vote to confirm judge kavanaugh, fox news chief correspondent ed henry. one dad will walk his daughter down the aisle. >> new tonight, lisa murkowski said she cannot get to yes on kavanaugh but she will vote present so that senator daines who is walking his daughter down the aisle in montana doesn't have to race back to washington and vote yes. so a show of comedy after an ugly process. neither vote in the end is going to matter. judge kavanaugh has the vote to become justice kavanaugh giving president trump a major victory.

two pivotal votes turned on this. susan collins blistered the left for in her words using dr. ford for their own political purposes. former obama aides saying they are going to knock her out of office. donald trump jr. tweeting the fight is not over. so he is urging republicans to turn out in the mid-terms to preserve the gop majority in the senate. there has been a surge in republicans over the kavanaugh issue. and the final vote is expected tomorrow afternoon. >> sean: ed henry in washington tonight. thank you. we have a lot of breaking news we're getting to next week. i can't even get you a preview of it now but it's big news. today is a victory by a slim margin for core fundamental principles, the rule of law,

equal application of our law, due process, presumption of innocence. it's a big day. but considering so many do not support that, it scares me. laura ingraham is next with mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader. see you monday. >> laura: hello, from washington, i'm laura ingraham, this is the "ingraham angle." tonight, senator susan collins driving what could be the final nail in the coffin for the democrat's resistance against brett kavanaugh. senate majority leader much mcconnell will join me exclusively in moments revealing what he said to collins in today's lunch meetings just moments before she said yes to kavanaugh. and the me too movement is hitting the board room. but not in the way you might think. raymond arroyo is here for friday follies and you want to stick around for diamond and silk. it's not friday without diamond and silk. but first, the
