confirmation set off a bitter partisan fight in the senate, and it sparked a national dialogue about sexual assault when christine blasey ford accused kavanaugh of attacking her 36 years ago when they were teenagers. >> on friday four key senators made their intentions known following an fbi investigation into the claims against kavanaugh. arizona republican jeff flake said he would cast his vote for kavanaugh, alaska's lisa murkowski said she would not vote for kavanaugh. but maine's susan collins announced she would vote yes giving republicans the 50 votes needed for confirmation. after collins' announcement, west virginia's joe manchin became the lone democrat to say he would also vote for kavanaugh. paula reid will have reaction from the white house, but we begin this morning on capitol hill with nancy cordes. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, michelle. well, republicans are relieved, but no one is popping the

champagne corks just yet. they will save that until after the final vote later today. democrats are still on the senate floor at this hour railing against the nominee and against an fbi inquiry they view as incomplete. democrats spent the night trying to get their gop colleagues to reconsider. >> is this someone who could sit on the highest court in the land? >> reporter: but judge brett kavanaugh's confirmation was already all but assured after republican susan collins of maine made this announcement. >> mr. president, i will vote to confirm judge kavanaugh. >> reporter: her decision came at the tail end of a brutal and polarizing 88-day nomination process. that was rocked by a series of sexual misconduct allegations against the nominee late in the game. >> senator collins, please vote no. >> reporter: protesters tried to

drown out collins and west virginia's joe manchin. who, on friday, became the first and only senate democrat to back kavanaugh. >> i believe dr. ford. something happened to dr. ford. i don't believe the facts showed that it was brett kavanaugh. >> reporter: kavanaugh is a 53-year-old appeals court judge and former white house lawyer for george w. bush. his confirmation today would give conservatives a 5-4 majority on the supreme court. he fervently denies pinning down christine blasey ford and groping her in 1982. >> i have never done this to her or to anyone. that's not who i am. it is not who i was. >> reporter: ford made the allegation, anonymously at first, before kavanaugh was nominated. >> i was pushed onto the bed, and brett got on top of me. it was hard for me to breathe, and i thought that brett was

accidentally going to kill me. >> reporter: a limited fbi background check last week did not find solid proof for her claims. >> the four witnesses she named could not corroborate any of the events of that evening gathering where she says the assault occurred. >> reporter: but senate democrats argued the fbi was prevented from interviewing corroborating witnesses. >> the least this body could do was pause for a moment and not do a sham fbi investigation. >> reporter: ford's lawyers told cbs news she is glad she came forward even if kavanaugh is confirmed. >> she's given a voice to hundreds of thousands of women across the country, across the world, who have been sexually assaulted. so those survivors have a voice, and they can look to dr. ford as someone who had the courage to stand up.

>> reporter: and those lawyers put out an additional statement late last night after it appeared that kavanaugh's confirmation was all but assured. they said, quote, we believe christine blasey ford and we fully support her. senators claiming to want a dignified debate should not repeat lies constructed by the judiciary committee that were cynically designed to win support for judge kavanaugh. anthony? >> nancy cordes on capitol hill where the debate is continuing before the vote. capitol police say they arrested 101 demonstrators on friday. dozens were taken into custody in the senate office buildings. 16 men were arrested when they blocked the street outside the supreme court. meanwhile, protesters gathered outside the portland, maine, offices of senator susan collins on a nearby building someone hoisted a me too banner beneath the american flag. before the senate cleared the way for brett kavanaugh on friday, president trump blasted the protest that is have taken

place during the confirmation process n. a tweet friday morning the president referred to the demonstrators as, quote, paid professionals who were trying to make senators, quote, look bad. he also called them troublemakers. mr. trump has not spoken publicly since gaining the assurance that he will place another justice on the supreme court. paula reid is at the white house with more. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning, michelle. after a week of protests and uncertainty here in washington, an official tells us the mood inside the white house is one of happiness and relief now that they know they have secured enough votes to confirm judge kavanaugh to the supreme court. but even with the support of senators collins and manchin, we're told the white house is not resting on its laurels and they're going to hold off before celebrating until after the vote later today. but before collins made her announcement, the president tweeted he was very proud of the u.s. senate for voting yes to advance the nomination of judge

brett kavanaugh. but surprisingly he hasn't said anything since the collins announcement. the one official reaction from the white house came from sarah huckabee sanders who tweeted, thank you, senator collins, for standing by your convictions and doing the right thing to confirm judge kavanaugh. vice president mike pence also tweeted his support for kavanaugh yesterday calling him one of the most qualified judges ever to be nominated to the highest court in the land. vice president pence often oversees important senate votes. he oversaw the confirmation vote for justice gorsuch and is expected to participate in the vote later today. the president and his allies have been using all the controversy surrounding kavanaugh on the campaign trail this week to encourage his supporters to vote in the midterms. at a rally in minnesota thursday, the president accused democrats of trying to destroy judge brett kavanaugh. and while the kavanaugh confirmation process certainly hasn't gone as the white house hoped, the upside was that they

were seeing this as sort of something that was motivating republican voters ahead of these critical midterms. and what's unclear is whether or not the president and his allies will be able to sustain that momentum once kavanaugh is confirmed. dana? >> paula reid, thank you very much. the other big news out of washington, the labor department released its september jobs report on friday. it showed employers added 134,000 jobs last month. that dropped the unemployment rate to 3.7%, the lowest it's been since 1969. for some perspective on the kavanaugh confirmation, we turn to bob. when the dust clears after this brutal 88-day nomination process, where is our government going to be? >> i think this was one of the ugliest things i've ever seen. i've been covering politics for years. you knew it was going to get ugly, but i didn't think it would get this ugly. and both sides are really

blaming the other. they agree we've hit rock bottom. >> paula mentioned it, the idea of the midterms and what this does for both republicans and democrats and igniting those groups to go out and vote. going into the midterms, have we ever seen an election with this much scrutiny and this much focus on how many people will be out to vote? >> no, no. in the last midterm in 2014 only 36% of people showed up. that was the lowest in seven decades. 2018 is going to be very different. i think both sides, especially the left but also the right now, very engaged. i think this will be the closely watched midterm, and a lot of people will show up at the polls. >> even though it's a month away and the news cycle we see constantly changing? >> yes. i think this vote yesterday and today, it's historic. people will remember it and they're going to show up at the polls one way or the other. >> how intense was the pressure in the red state democrats? >> it was a nightmare scenario for them. either way they can't win. they're in tough re-elections, like joe manchin, heidi

heitkamp. this, i think, in a way helps the senate republican majority because of the math. there are a lot of red state democrats who are up. however, it hurts house republicans and their majority because those are a lot of swing districts, suburban districts. this doesn't play well. >> well, how do you think it affects the midterms at this point? the sense going into this battle on the hill was that there was momentum on the democrats' side but then you started to see numbers that suggested there was republican momentum because of this battle. where are we left, do you think? >> the polls are pretty even. basically this united the republican party, even the people who -- republicans who don't like trump. i think it just gets the engagement level up. overall i think that republicans had to win this otherwise the base would have been deflated. but democrats say, listen, this helps us big time and this is going to cause -- i mean, democrats haven't showed up to vote in the midterm since 2006. i think this will be different. >> we hear so much talk over the

last week. we've heard it about this idea. it is supposed to be that someone on the supreme court is nonpartisan. but now you look at a vote like this and people are talking about the idea it isn't 60 votes. you just need that one extra vote. so has this process become partisan in that regard that you don't have to sort of find a supreme court nominee that's in the middle? >> absolutely. this has changed forever. let's say the democrats win the senate and there's another opening in the supreme court, chuck schumer is not going to allow that nomination to come to the floor. >> we saw this with garland. >> and the democrats were the first to change the nomination process from 60 to 50 and republicans then did it for the supreme court. so this is just an ugly, ugly process that i don't think will be changing anytime soon. >> there's a lot to mull over here. you have women voters, you have conservative voters. i'm just curious the average voter out there, what lessons have been learned here? >> well, i think america lost in this debate.

i just think it was a really low point for politics, and i think that even though a lot of people are going to show up, i think the average voter -- why does this have to be so contentious, the independent voter? the base, they know, they were engaged and that's why they'll be engaged in a month. >> bob cusack, thank you very much. >> thank you. tomorrow morning on "face the nation" here on cbs john dickerson's guests will include maine senator susan collins whose support tipped the senate in favor for brett kavanaugh, and we'll also hear from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. in chicago a guilty verdict in the shooting death of a black teenager by a white police officer marked the end of an incident that heightened racial tensions in the city. on friday jason van dyke was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2014 killing of laquan mcdonald who was armed with a knife. van dyke will be sentenced late they are month. dean reynolds tells us more. >> reporter: the 40-year-old police officer with 17 years of

service in chicago's toughest neighborhoods was stoic as the jury verdict was read aloud. >> we, the jury, find the defendant, jason van dyke, guilty of second-degree murder. >> reporter: conviction on a charge of second-degree murder plus 16 counts of aggravated battery for each of the 16 shots he fired into 17-year-old laquan mcdonald on that october night four years ago. >> and now we can go home tonight and sleep knowing that laquan is at peace. >> reporter: van dyke shot mcdonald six seconds after arriving on the scene. the only officer to shoot suspect who brandished a knife and refused to drop it. having watched this dash cam video of the incident repeatedly and heard van dyke's pleas that he feared for his life, the jury declined to find him guilty of first-degree murder with a potential life sentence. this woman was the lone african-american on the panel

which deliberated for seven hours. >> we looked at all the evidence and we ruled on it accordingly. >> reporter: dan herbert is van dyke's lawyer. >> he was sacrificed by his leaders, by political leaders, by our supposed community leaders, and it was all for one reason -- to save themselves. >> reporter: the case exposed deep racial divisions within the city and between the police and minority residents. the video came out a year after the shooting and only when a judge ordered it released. the episode tarnished the reputation of the mayor, cost the police superintendent his job and forced increased oversight of the police department. scattered demonstrations materialized around town, but the guilty verdict against the white officer appeared to cool passions an acquittal would have stoked. his bail revoked, his life in ruins, van dyke was led away by deputies. a mug shot, his personal ticket

corroborate those claims. >> but this week's "time" magazine cover says it was a watershed moment for victims of sexual abuse. saying in part to young men it was a message that drunken violence could shadow them all their lives and to victims ford's testimony was an invitation to speak up. haley sweetland edwards is here to discuss. >> thank you for having me. >> it's great to have you here. that image on the cover, her lasting impact -- first of all, the image is lasting but also you write she is lasting in making this historic moment. >> right. i think it's important to remember in times like this history isn't linear and cultural moments don't happen linearly. you have these big moments. you have her step forward and sort of display the kind of personal courage that we saw that doesn't necessarily -- we may see brett kavanaugh

confirmed today, but that doesn't necessarily mean that was a failure. or that we aren't having an important conversation as a country. >> there's an important comment that we heard over and over again, we believe her and yet we believe him. somehow she was mistaken about who it was that attacked her. when you look at that do victims of sexual assault come out in a better place? >> i think absolutely. right now after her testimony 45% of those polled believe her. you think about 1991 when anita hill came forward. in that almost 60% of americans believed him over 24% believed her. so we are at a different moment. people are coming forward. people are speaking out. you've seen this outpouring of support and anger --

have happened to you, who else was present? how would you be able to corroborate those moments? and those are conversations we need to be having as men and women in our country of what is acceptable, where do we set that standard. one thing is for a criminal trial for due process and things like that and there are standards of evidence and another thing is for job promotions and bestilg honor upon people. >> but either way the debate continues and will for some time i'm sure, haley. we thank you, haley sweetland. for as much food as many americans have to eat, our diet is still quite limited, we're told. just ahead the story about some of the most important food you never heard of. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." i wanted more from my copd medicine...

really that everybody is not just the 99% in los angeles or new york but everybody on the planet through crowdsourcing, through influence, through inspiration, through this movement we can inspire other like-minded chefs and their farmers and their audience, diners, to participate in a way that makes sense to them. and like that, we can truly bring good food to everybody on the planet. and if we do that while taking care of the planet, we've done something amazing and that gets me out of bed every morning. >> reporter: now all of this is in support of the united nations goal to end hunger by the year 2030 and the organizers hope to take the food forever experience around the entire world. i have to be honest, when you think about preparing for the future, you think about going green or buying eco-friendly products, you never think about the future of food. this is is a good thing. >> i can tell it's good by the big bites you were taking.

always fervently denied. democrats view that fbi investigation as incomplete because neither kavanaugh nor his most prominent accuser, christine blasey ford, were interviewed. but many republicans argue that at the end of the day there just wasn't enough evidence to disqualify him. senator susan collins who remained undecided until friday ultimately reached that conclusion which she outlined in a 44-minute speech on friday afternoon. here is what she had to say. >> as those who have known him best have attested, he has been an exemplary public servant, judge, teacher, coach, husband, and father. >> reporter: two other republican senators, jeff flake of arizona and lisa murkowski of alaska, were also on the fence until friday when flake said he would vote to confirm kavanaugh but murkowski said she couldn't

potential. >> reporter: is it just that our palettes have gotten more sophisticated, do you think? >> gosh, that's a tough question. i think maybe our palettes have gotten more sophisticated but, also, for so many years the red delicious -- it's about color and shape and red represents ripeness and so what looked good on a shelf is what people would buy. >> reporter: created in the late 1800s in iowa the introduction of the red delicious apple redefined a whole category of fruit. author and apple historian rowan jacobson. >> i don't think we'll see an apple as iconic as the red delicious again. i think that's probably a good thing. if you think about it red delicious was the icon of kind of like the 1950s america which was very homogenous. by the 1980s red delicious was completely dominant, maybe 75% of the market, and growers back then believe that americans would never buy an apple that wasn't all one color. so either red, golden, or green.

then new zealand started growing an apple called the gala. >> reporter: the gala not only looked different but tasted different. the fruit was really sweet and had a crispy texture to munch on. once americans took a bite, there was no going back. >> that did not exist in any of the american apples, and it very quickly became an increasingly popular apple to the point that as of this year it has finally surpassed red delicious to become the number one apple. really at this point red delicious' last market is export. what's happening is u.s. consumers have caught on to the fact that it tastes terrible but there are still parts of the world that haven't figured that out yet. >> you want this variety? is it good? >> reporter: as the american consumer began rediscovering the apple, the demand for taste trumped appearance. and the apple industry had to find a way to adapt. >> every time an apple grower has to learn how to grow a new

apple, it's a challenge. so they all have their own idiosyncrasies. >> reporter: cornell university horticulture professor gregory peck. >> the majority of apples are bred through conventional means. it might take anywhere from three to seven years before that seedling produces apples and it can be evaluated. so right there it's a very long process. >> reporter: a long process that has created over 7,000 varieties of apples being grown today making the core competition that much tougher. >> i don't think gala's reign will be very long. it just passed red delicious after really decades of slowly climbing, but there's another apple on the block that's kind of like the third wave of apples. >> reporter: skyrocketing out of fifth place is the apple expected to dethrone gala within the next ten years. >> the honey crisp is definitely taking center stage and changing

the industry. consumers are willing to pay $3 a pound and not 99 cents or $1.50 a pound and that has changed the industry in a major way. opened the doors for other varieties that taste better. supermarkets and distributors are realizing people will pay for a better apple. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning saturday," don dahler, hopewell junction, new york. >> he actually took down the red delicious. >> he did. >> what a swipe. doesn't that taste good? >> 7,000 varieties of apples? >> that blew me away. i had no idea. >> i used three in an apple pie and thought i was crazy. >> red delicious heading down and this guy kicked him. for nearly 50 years monty python's irreverent humor. now eric idle is out with his side of the story in what he calls a sort of biography and is sharing some of his stories with

>> these two drinks we're offering in our new bar menu at market table. the first is a pineapple punch where we infuse tequila with grilled pineapple. >> my favorite. >> nothing wrong with that. >> and our family nothing goes to waste. we use the pineapple that was grilled and infused with tequila in the barbecue sauce with the ribs. >> this is really good. >> you talk about family, coming from an italian family i think we would all expect you to want to be into food, but when did you get serious about cooking and knowing that was a future? >> there were so many steps along the way, but, really, it was just inevitable, i think, coming from south philly. everyone once worked in a restaurant. my first boss was a chef, and so when we had a house down in wildwood on the jersey shore and i saw this boat that i wanted and it was a little row boat and i was 12 years old and i asked my parents for money to buy this boat. they said, why don't you get a

job. and so the closest business was a restaurant. it was called captain mack's in north wildwood, new jersey. >> what did you do at captain mack's? >> i scrubbed the floor mats and these huge pots that they used to make the clam chowder and the turtle soup in. >> starting at the bottom. >> did that give you an appetite for being in the kitchen? >> what it really did was taught me a work ethic and the most important question which is, i think, in life but also in business is what's next. and that question that i had to ask the chef was what's next, chef, and that turned into peeling potatoes or peeling onions to making sandwiches to eventually being able to put my own chef coat on. >> so you went from philly to new york? >> in new york i made some pretty strong connections. i worked with great people. one of the most important connections i made was with my business partner mike price. >> yes. >> and we worked together at a restaurant on 56th street,

symphony house. >> plating salads, right? >> i was the salad guy and he was in culinary school. and that was it. >> and next for you, you finally were able, also, to open your own place. you and mike together. >> yes. that was a real dream come true and, you know, it's a story of trust and love and risk. the restaurant business in new york city is not easy and it's ever changing. >> how do you succeed? >> well, we inspire each other and we aim to remain relevant by doing what we love. we focus on positivity versus competition in our relationship, and we really drive each other as chefs and as business owners. >> and with market table, one of the places you have, you think normally a place after a decade going out of business or it's just going to go away. instead you have sort of -- you're redoing things. >> we had the space and we had a

perfect opportunity to create a bar vibe. and when i said how dining shifts, our restaurants have never been something as pretentious but they've always been something about experience. and so in order to have a bar experience we really wanted to make a very casually sexy alternative to going out to dinner. and when you walk into a restaurant that's a bar, then it's kind of under promising and over delivered, right? what am i going to get into here? but then, you know, when you get brought to your table, that's your table for the night, and the focus is on you. in the true sense of hospitality that's what we wake up and strive to do every day. >> well, we have filled your table today. but as we have you sign the dish let me ask you if you could fill your table with a few people other than us and share this meal, who would it be with? >> absolutely my mother.

my mother and i would hope that she would say her mother, my grandmother, and then her great-grandmother. i got to spend a lot of time with my mother this summer, patricia, and she was a huge inspiration. >> chef, thank you so much. and for more on chef joey campanaro go to our website at cbsthismorning.com. and now here is a look at your weather for the week. up next in our saturday session, rainbow kitten surprise. that's their name. if it doesn't grab you, their live show will. we'll talk with the band who just sold out their entire north american tour. about how that name came about. and they'll perform right here
