>> sean: welcome to hannity, fox news alert. 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 kavanaugh. but more importantly, it was her explanation of how she arrived at her decision, that was so impressive. senator joe manchin followed her lead. 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, very ugly, they have been exposed. they tried to ruin a man's life, they turned the confirmation pros wes 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 stick for this great country of ours. this 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 that 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. kavanaugh's vote is tomorrow. it is time for tonight's friday breaking news, opening 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 the 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 get 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 could be firmation process -- 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 given 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 with its she named could not -- with its she named could not corroborate any of the events of that evening gathering where she said the assault occurred. 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 president -- 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 to 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 to 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 xwam many. 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 exist on the left today. and by the way, there are some on the right, too. senator lindsay graham, 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 proclaim their opposition to judge kavanaugh within seconds of his nomination. others up ended the hearings with endless interruptions,

grandstanding, the worst of the worst. works the of all, many democrats actually went along with accusing brett kavanaugh of even being a ist, a -- a rapist, a gang ist. no -- rapist. 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. an opinion website owned by univision, splinter, published "bleep susan collins." nut job, so-called 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, quote, a quote rape apologist. so over the top. so, so despicbly ugly and disgusting. many of these same people that claim to have a monopoly of compassion, women, minorities, human, civil rights, wouldn't they be showing outrage if any conservative in 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 comments to her staff. tried to bribe her with a crowd funding campaign. angry mob of left ring protesters harassing senators all over capitol hill. this is getting dangerous. take a look. [chanting] shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. >> i'm very much concerned that we have -- [all yelling at once ] [chanting] [chanting]

>> 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 elected officials need to be closed to the public. sad, but it needs to happen. this is 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 works men's 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 clothing themselves in morality. that's what we see today. >> clearly the republicans don't care about the truth. they did one 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 days we, americans, have witnessed what is an unrivalled insanity, of madness that's taken over. and it's now shaking the very core principles that every one of us, doesn't matter if 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 recness actions? senator feinstein may be the subject of an'ics probe, who leaked professor ford's letter. now with it tampering investigation should take place after claims that one of professor ford's close friends, 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 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. 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 outranl. envisions ideology, an agenda, spread through the courts. 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. this is what made this kwon firmation process so political. it shouldn't matter tonight, there is zero gloating here, or i want to -- 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 with fundamental pair 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 thought, 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 us 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. what we have witnessed unfold, these last 22 days, is absolutely the single most despicable display of guilt by accusation we have witnessed n32 days, this is also about your life. right now, you ask yourselves, are you better off than you were two years ago? 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 african-americans, asian-americans, women in the workplace and youth unemployment. record low unemployment in 14 states. look at manufacturing. manufacturing is now near an all-time high. 4 pun,000 new manufacturing jobs, jobs that the last administration said were never coming back. consumer confidence at an all-time high. four million 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 cat sfrofic

iranian deal. look at the progress on the korean peninsula. i don't see missiles flying over japan. 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. of course the engine of r economy. we have more energy, natural gas, oil, and coal than all of these other countries come bind. for all of you never-trump republicans, you had your way, 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-promoting yourself pro trump, "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 grated, this election is about so much more than undoing these incredible two years. i've said it before, iel say it again, shout it from the mountain top if i have to, the single most important mid-term election in our lifetime. joining us now, a man who deserved a lot of credit for this moment, senator lindsay graham of south carolina. senator, i'm happy -- >> thank you. >> sean: i'm happy about the success the country has had. you told me when i saw you in washington, i said, what's susan collins like, i skpt 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. if i had to tell? 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 was 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] we've had our disagreements. >> 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 on the ballot in 32 days. am i wrong? i'm worried about what i've been

witnessing. >> there's two choices, the susan collins way or 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 your 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 f 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. 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 independent judiciary tonight. >> sean: is it true that senator dains 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. 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 food 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 new november. >> sean: more to get to when we come back, senator ted cruz joins us as breaking news night continues. we're glad you are with us.

i'm ready to crush ap english. i'm ready to do what no one on my block has done before. forget that. what no one in the world has done before. all i need access, tools, connections. high-speed connections. is the world ready for me? through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. fight surrounding his nomination, mier if vent hope is that -- my fervent hope is that

brett kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in the supreme court. so that we have nar fewer 5-4 decisions, far fewer. so that public confidence, in our judiciary and our highest court, is restored. >> sean: more senator susan collins criticizing the partisanship throughout the kavanaugh confirmation hearing, her, hope that justice kavanaugh will restore our system. senator ted cruise, 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 know on brett kavanaugh. he was a hard no before the allegations, he's a hard no now. he's running a far left campaign like elizabeth warren, bernie sanders. today was a 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 cop 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. feet 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 have disagreements. you have supported the agenda of the biggest tax cut, securing our borders. >> absolutely. >> sean: conservative originalist on the supreme court. you are known for your nl of the constitution, your knowledge. 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. it's spilling out, it's spilling out in nasty and angry protests during the kavanaugh hearing. first dave of the hearing, 07 people were arrested with the active complicity of democratic

senators. just yesterday, 300 people were arrested at the capitol. we're seeing an anger, bitterness. you know, this week we had some one send white powder to our campaign office in texas that ended up having haz-mat and the fbi called in because the concern was that it was anthrax. 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 on to judge kavanaugh. 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. >> sean: you know, you were in a tough primary with president trump. it's not beanbags. >> sure. >> sean: you gave, took.

nudz 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 i'm here 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. needed to be treated with respect. we needed 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 we need to give judge kavanaugh an opportunity to defend himself. and he should have been treated were respect and he wasn't. the democrats couldn't, instead, they did theatrics and mock outrage. shocked, shocked that teenagers drink in high school and college. goodness gracious. and they were even more shocked that 17-year-olds say stew pild things in their year -- stupid things in the year books. its was a ridiculous circus. they were willing to smear a good man and his family for political ends. >> sean: and no corroboration, no corroboration. >> yes. >> sean: 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. i don't think you should leave the halls of the senate open. and i'm saying that for the

safety, protection of people we elect. i feel for everyone's safety at this moment. >> there are a lot of 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. unfortunately somehow the protesters were there waiting for us as we walked in, they surrounded us, they screamed at us, they basically shut down the restaurant and they made it impossible to have dinner. 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 left interest 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 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 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: good ending to the story. senator, you've always stood up for the constitution, deeply held principle's 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 tomorrow to tedcruz.org, stand with us, we're fighting for the country. >> sean: democrats, members of the media, have a complete meltdown after senator collins' historic speech. we'll play you the tape, get reaction from tammy bruce and herman cain.

>> sean: almost immediately

after sewer san collins finished her historic speech, members of the abusively biased news media, the ones that hate trump every second of every day, every minute of every day, every hour of every day, they began their freakout, predictably. take a look. >> now we know, here yet another institution broken in the time of trump, the supreme court. >> the supreme court is headed into a crisis much legitimacy. when, not if, when judge kavanaugh helps them to chip away at civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, abortion rights, i don't think it's going to sit well with the country. >> he promised he would be a hardcore partisan, that's the one thing he didn't lie about. >> the message to survivors like dr. ford, we don't want to hear from you. two, if we have to hear from you because we're forced to, we're going to rig it so that there is no fbi investigation. >> let's not forget these people would go to church then go to the lynching after clothing

themselves in morality. that's what we see today. >> sean: joins us tammy bruce, chairman of the america fighting back pac. former presidential candidate himself, herman cain. tammy, you have had a powerful voice in the debate, it's been pretty amazing to watch your comments. >> thank you. >> sean: senator murkowski said she will vote no on kavanaugh, impropriety has become avoidable f you make enough accusations, one side can create enough fire, that guilt no, presumption of innocence. to me, that's scary to me that, logic. >> it should be. it's unfortunate, you're right, susan collins' speech today, was wonderful, was surprising for me, supporter of the president, and against the swamp. it's amazing to be supporting susan collins and lindsay graham and mitch mcconnell. this is where recognizing the commitment to the val ohs that

make this -- values that make this country great are important. i'm not saying lisa murkowski doesn't do. that we are all individuals, have had a different life experience. it is a warning to every single american that these kinds of arguments will resonate with people for various reasons. we have got to stay vigilant. we have dodged something that is very important. only the beginning, sean. >> sean: i agree. >> now we have to look toward, in the after math, things like the american legacy media, it really is dead in a way. there's no ability to report other news during this frame work. they could only focus on kavanaugh. >> sean: i said journalism is dead in 2007. >> if anyone doubts it, they have their proof right now. this is very important thing. at the mid terms, they're key, but it continues. this is a re formation of the country. and while i would rather this didn't happen to the judge and his family we must see this as

an opportunity to continue on with the bat unless front of us and we will prevail. it is the american way. >> sean: america should have a very bad taste in its mouth tonight, and there needs to be a hangover and moment of sobriety here. so we can begin the process of what do we want as a country. herman cain, i remember when you were running for president, and i remember a whole series of accusation after another started flying after you, and i remember because i've known you for many years, you're a friend of mine, i remember saying i don't believe it. you didn't have the money to fight back, you bailed out of the race. after that day it all went away. it was political, nothing was said again that i've heard. >> that's because i didn't have the money as you indicated, to basically file three lawsuits at the same time. and here's another thing to remember about what happened to me.

every week they drug out another accuser. when we got to number three, i knew that the liberal media mob had already made up its mind. susan collins, i applaud what she did today on the floor of the united states senate. she put the integrity of the supreme court and the integrity of the united states senate above the liberal media mob. i applaud her for that. mitch mcconnell did the same thing. lindsay graham did the same thing. along with others. the liberal media mob has not won. they didn't win today. >> sean: i don't really know her. i disagreed with her a lot. i was surprised to see. i saw somebody that, maybe i didn't know the person, maybe i disagreed on politics, i saw something that i think, it's a watershed moment for the country. >> well, sean, i have a column coming out at foxnews.com

suggesting that with this experience, imagine what we can do if the establishment gop puts down its fists and works with us to keep america great. imagine being able to work together. you had george w. bush and condoleezza rice calling sno senators to support kavanaugh. it was enlightening and exciting and isn't it time that in looking to the future that we come together, and continue to work this way. >> last word, herman cain. >> well, the liberal media mob, if things play out tomorrow, did not win. and that is a great thing for the united states of america. >> sean: we better be, there's way too many people, though, that were willing to forego simple, basic, core fundamental principles of fairness, decency, due process, presumption of innocence. that ought to scare every american. i hope they pay attention to that. >> this is just the beginning.

>> sean: i agree. you're right. it is just the beginning. when we come back, judge jeannine pir re weighs in and today is the day you're going to get motivated...

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 history. 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 the 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 you about. one that i will never be able to tell about what a kor ranlous human being i know you to be. courageous. but the other one, 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 and line up in the halls, gang rape these girls. >> um-hum, um-hum. >> sean: it gets repeated -- >> sean, i'm here in washington, it was repeated everywhere. it doesn't matter if it's true. i'm here with a, and people have breathed a sigh of relief after hearing senator susan collins and her reasons, deliberative, lucid, argument and rebuttal of everything that 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,

recertaining, obstructing, ganst-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. sorry, sarah. >> 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 out 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: sarah has, 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 senate vote, historic senate vote. so i can buy from enterprise car sales and you'll take any trade-in? that's right! great! here you go... well, it does need to be a vehicle. but - i need this out of my house. (vo) with fair, transparent value for every trade-in... enterprise makes it easy.

>> sean: an update, latest reaction of senator collins' powerful speech on why she'll vote to confirm judge kavanaugh as well as what we should expect tomorrow, ed henry, well, one dad looks like will walk his daughter down the aisle, that was in jeopardy for a while. >> new tonight, republican lisa murkowski said she cannot get to yes on kavanaugh but will vote "present" so that republican senator daines, who is walking his daughter down the aisle in montana like you said, does not have to race back to washington and vote yes and cancel out any no vote by murkowski. a show of comedy after a pretty ugly process. neither vote matters. judge kavanaugh has the votes to become justice kavanaugh giving president trump a major victory. two pivotal votes turned on this, one republican, one

democrat. the republican, susan collins, blistered the left for using dr. ford for political purposes. the women's march is attacking her. former obama aids say they'll knock her out of office. only democrat voting with them, is joe manchin. donald trump jr. feeting tonight the fight isn't over, democrats already planning, he says, to try and impeach justice kavanaugh. urging republicans to turn out in the mid terms to preserve the gop majority in the senate. there have been polls in republicans a surge in republicans over the kavanaugh hearing. final vote expected tomorrow. >> sean: ed henry, thank you. we have lot of breaking news next week, i can't give you even a preview have it now. but big news. today was a victory, albeit by a slim margin, for very core fundamental prims. the rule of law, equal justice under the law, equal application

of the law, due process, presumption of innocence. a big day, but considering so many don't support that, it scares me. let not be heart be troubled, >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the month-long saga turned nightmare of brett kavanaugh's supreme court confirmation process finally coming to a conclusion. the senate voted narrowly today to move the decision to the floor. that means the final vote on this, on kavanaugh, will take place tomorrow. probably tomorrow afternoon. this is almost over. democrats made one final push against kavanaugh this afternoon screaming protesters swarmed the capitol. famous journalists went crazy on twitter and dianne feinstein, the 85-year-old ranking democrat
