abby phillip live at the white house. where are we at one minute after 6:00 on the east coast, abby? >> reporter: good morning, john. just yet brett kavanaugh spent the second day in a row here at the white house and we learned he spent that day preparing for questions over his personal life for preparation of what might be a hearing in front of the judiciary committee. republicans have to decide if they are going to heed the concerns of brett kavanaugh's accuser of christine blasey ford. >> she's not prepared to talk with them at a hearing on monday. >> professor christine blasey ford calling for the fbi to investigate her allegation that she was sexually assaulted by judge brett kavanaugh in high school before she agrees to testify. ford's lawyers writing in a letter to chuck grassley that a fbi probe will ensure that the committee is fully informed. >> for the last 48 hours she has been deflecting death threats and harassment and trying to care for her family and determine where they are going to sleep at night, and ri

that's interesting, abby.s the part that's really getting most people's attention and this is what the president tweeted. these were his words about the administration's response to past hurricanes. we got a-pluses for our recent hurricane work in texas and florida and did an unappreciated job, great job in puerto rico, even though an inaccessible island with very poor electricity and a totally incompetent mayor of san juan. we are ready for the big one that is coming. is that, abby, what the anonymous op-ed writer was referring to in terms of the amorality that the people around the president feel when he has such a tone deaf response and doesn't mention the victims? what are the people in the white house saying about this? >> yeah, i think that that is probably right, alisyn. i don't know what exactly is in the op-ed writer's mind, but i do think there is this sense among people close to the president, you know, sources around the president are very open about the idea that he has a hard time expressing empa

. >> abby phillips, stick around at the white house. we appreciate it. want to bring in john avalon and cnn political analyst, jackie kucinich. seems to me now that we are five days into this that we are in the middle if not the end of a well played out strategy, for the law from dr. ford's attorney and mitch mcconnell. you have a very narrow option to tell your story, but we are going to give you that option under terms that are excruciating. jackie, you can tell your story but only if there are no other witnesses and only if there's not or never an independent investigation and only with the knowledge that the president of the united states is telling you i am inclined to believe the story, and all those things are stacked up as they weighs her decision, and even if she tells her story most likely kavanaugh will get confirmed. >> all that is accurate, john, but the other thing she will have in her favor should she decide to testify is the optics. let's not forget what a risk this is for republicans if she does sit down and tell her story, and right now

abby huntsman is the show's newest member.he was previously an anchor at fox news and is also the daughter of former presidential candidate and current u.s. ambassador to russia jon huntsman. anchor jessica castro spoke to huntsman this morning and she said it's a homecoming. >> look, it's a dream come true. i started my career at abc so to be back here is so fun and to be at that table, a show i've watched since it came on the air over 20 years ago, it's still surreal to sit there, and i lean over my shoulder and i see whoopi goldberg and i'm listening to her and so much about the experience is -- i'm trying to take it all in. such a cool one. >> "the view" is now in its 22nd season. you can watch abby along with sunny, joy, whoopi whoopi whoopi w and adding another conservative voice on the panel of five. >> i've been watching a little bit before our show and it's a panel of very strong opinion, and it's interesting to watch her any time there's a new person come on navigate their way through those personalities and try to f

abby: again, the democrats will have their say again today and they-- especially for booker who's looking for potential 2020 run for david, we will have you back to talk about more.

abby phillip live at the white house, abby, thank you. >>> more on the kavanaugh nomination this week. at least one democrat promising sparks will fly at the judge's hearing. suzanne malveaux joining me now. what else are lawmakers saying about this situation? >> you can bet that sparks are going to be flying and he also says there's going to be a lot of heat when it comes to this very issue. he also is going to be saying that there's going to be controversy as well. now, it was just last week i spoke with both senator dianne feinstein, the top democrat on the senate judiciary committee, as well as senator durbin. they said they really wanted to know quite a bit from kavanaugh in the hearings but also the private meetings that they were both frustrated for what they see as a lack of transparency and these lack of documents coming their way. kavanaugh has an extensive legal record as the federal judge for the u.s. federal court of appeals in the d.c. circuit. having issued more than 300 opinions and dissents, he's really an open book. but it's his time as white house staff secretary th

abby phillip, thanks very much. let's discuss with sunlen serfaty, abigail tracy, ron brownstein, and nia-malika henderson. nia, if we can, we had christine blasey ford's attorney on, and she went into detail describing why her client thought, and i'm saying exactly as she said it, why her client thought she might die during this alleged account. let's listen to her account. >> the reason she felt he might inadvertently kill her is he had his hand over her mouth, and she was having a difficult time breathing. and he is larger and he was pressing his weight against her. and so inebriated, he was ignoring the fact she was attempting to scream and having a difficult time breathing. and she believes that but for his inebriation and his inability to take her clothes off, he would have raped her. >> we learned this morning, nia-malika, that ford is willing to tell the story, to testify under oath in public before the senate. if that happens, you have the remarkable circumstances where you will hear that account from the m

and then i remember she ran out and she said, abby!e and we just hugged each other for like the longest time and i just felt -- i felt so happy. >> remarkably five years after that difficult ordeal abby has forgiven her captor and says she's feeling whole again. she's making a new life for herself and mostly she wants people to know that a devastating situation doesn't o. >> extraordinary. >> she has this presence of mind. >> s he pleaded guilty. he was never charged with counterfeiting, but he had so many other charges. he will most likely spend his rest of his life in prison. >> she really got to you, didn't she? >> she's the same age as my daughter and hearing her talk about what she went through grabbed me by the throat. she's remarkable and she's resilient and she's moving on. >> she has a story to tell. >> she sure does. more tonight. >> yes, yes, don't worry. i'm going to plug it. you can see deborah's exclusive interview with abby hernandez on "20/20" tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on abc. we'll be watching. >> looking forward t

abby philip joins us again there.get lost, and it shouldn't, in the headlines just made against brett kavanaugh. he said we're working on a second with kim jong-un. >> reporter: that's right, poppy. one of the first headlines that the president made was talking about north korea. he was here at the united nations a year ago calling kim jong-un the rocket man. today he is strike a much more optimistic tone. >> moving very well. the relationship is very good with north korea. we have made things in store. looks like we'll have a second summit quite soon. as you know, kim jong-un wrote a beautiful letter and asking for a second meeting and we will be doing that. secretary pompeo will work that out in the immediate future. >> reporter: he has been eager to set up this second meeting between him and kim but there are real questions about the key issue, denuclearization. it will be a key opportunity this week when we'll see it han hear much more from president trump. he is meeting with south korean president today. north ko

but again, as abby says, this is not a president who wants to know about those distinctions.t to challenge him because that insecurity as a leader and as a person will rear its head. >> i'm so glad you brought that up, david, because yesterday it was hard with brock long when we interviewed him not to hear some victim blaming. he said, well, some of this is on puerto rico, you have to be able to help yourself. but in a national crisis, in a national emergency, we actually rely on our federal government to help us. that's one of their sort of mission statements when we can't help ourselves and knowing there were infrastructure problems, which everyone did, getting in place sooner. so you're so right to point that out and we hear that again echoed in president trump's sentiments. >> this is from the new cnn poll. this morning just released a few minutes ago we have americans' impression of the russia investigation of rby robert mue. i think voters' impressions of robert mueller have improved over time. it was 41% in june, 47% in august, 50% now approve of the job robert mueller

abby, thank you so much.lly appreciate it. >> how is all this playing out or impacting the people who have the final say here? which is to have the vote, yea or nay. mitch mcconnell is signaling that in no uncertain terms he will move forward with an up or down vote on the senate floor, but all eyes are on these three possible republican holdouts, these three republican senators that are really in question, have been from beginning but especially today. sunlen serfaty has that on capitol hill. what's the latest there? >> well, kate, certainly as mitch mcconnell pushes ahead and says he is pushing ahead with an up or down vote some time soon, he said some time in the near future on the senate floor, as he says that, though, it certainly is significant that these key swing vote senators, of course, we talked about them a lot in recent days, like like lisa murkowski, she made a significant statement this morning to my colleague manu raju which is not in line with the rest of her party says, indicating she believ

all right, abby. thanks for the reporting. >> again, judge kavanaugh is behind abby. he entered the white house about a half hour ago for the prep in case the case happens. let's brin in jeff. let me begin with you. as you live and breathe all of this, and i'm just wondering if you think that the analysis that we're hearing more and more of, that it seems like the more hesitation that comes from ms. ford and her legal team in terms of testifying on monday, the more and more they say no, no, no. that's too fast. et cetera, the more emboldened it makes republicans. i mean, you have heard a marked change in tone from senator corker, from senator flake. lindsey graham's quote this morning in "the washington post" saying this is a drive-by shooting for kavanaugh. let her be heard, but we have to get this done. how do you see it? >> you're absolutely right. you see that with the senators, the key senators that you just mentioned. also senator susan collins, encouraging dr. ford to come and testify. so i think it has given republicans sort of the momentum back on this nomina

suggests he's not, that's big trouble for him as he moves forward into trying to get reelected. >> abbyumber for independents, this is also obviously critical. so it is now down at an all time low according to our cnn poll at 31%. it had been 47%, his approval rating among independents back in august, now it is at 31%. for republicans it's gone from 88% to 82%, but the independent number is interesting because obviously the white house can cherry picks what polls they look at, they often cite polls that don't meet our cnn standards so we don't use them, but the number for independents has to be getting the attention of people in that building behind you. >> yeah, absolutely. i think that the white house takes it as a given that the president's approval among republicans is probably going to be pretty steady, but the big question mark is always independents. what's interesting in the last couple weeks even as we've seen these poll numbers showing a trend downward for president, he has been growing increasingly frustrated that he's not getting enough credit for the economy. you've been he

. >> let's go to abby phillip at the white house. abby, you know, it was so notable the measured tone and the deliberate word choice that the president made yesterday when talking about kavanaugh and these allegations. not attacking the character at all or insulting or even questioning the claims of his accuser. the strategy you're hearing will be what going forward? >> that's absolutely right. some people even wondered how long something like that could last, but it is part of a strategy that the white house is at least at the moment trying to execute. which is that they want kavanaugh to defend himself, but they want to avoid being perceived as attacking the alleged victim, attacking his accuser in this case. in order to do that, they're relying heavily on women. women who say they knew kavanaugh at that time in his life, who maybe went to school in the same area that both of the parties here involved went to school in suburban maryland. there was a list that was circulated late last week of 65 women who vouched for kavanaugh's cha

i have to say, i'm with abby there.g . >> i hear from you more often than not. >> i know. i left phoenix for a reason. i can't take

abbie phillip has more from the white house. we heard his comments last night during the rally. what did he have to say on twitter just now? >> reporter: president trump seems to be pivoting a little bit in how he is dealing with this issue. he is tweeting this morning and criticizing his political allies for the attack on brett kavanaugh. he says brett kavanaugh is a fine man under assault by radical left wing politicians who don't want to know the answers. they just want to destroy and delay. facts don't matter. i go through this with them every single day in d.c. now, this comes after president trump spent much of the week trying conspicuously to avoid attacking brett kavanaugh's accuser. he's still doing a similar thing in this tweet, but is now pivoting towards the democrats, launching a political attack on his nominee. there is also a new interesting development happening both on white house staffers and allies of brett kavanaugh. this new theory this might be a case of mistaken identity and why ford is accusing brett kavanaugh. we're seeing a little bit of a change here i

let's go to the white house where abby phillip joins us. what is the feeling in terms of the power controversy about these document this is. >> well, good morning, poppy. the white house is looking at this as the opportunity for judge kavanaugh to introduce himself and they feel despite all of this talk as ariane just talked about, the documents being the subject of such controversy among democrats, they don't think that controversy has touched kavanaugh at all. it's being seen as a bureaucratic dispute that ranks-and-file folks watching this hearing, maybe tuning in, won't pay attention to. in other words, brett kavanaugh according to the white house's view of this, has an opportunity to lay himself out to the public without having been damaged by what the white house thinks is such an in-the-weeds controversy that it has not affected his nomination. that being said, we will see him talking about his personal life a lot today. the white house is looking for clues as to where democrats will be going with their attacks on kavanaugh later in

abby phillip is at the white house. what are you hearing from the white house? we know kavanaugh is there. you can imagine at least what one topic is for them today? >> that's right, kate. kavanaugh is in the building as of right now, and it seems very much that he's preparing for what seems to be a likely possibility that he could testify. now, we came into this day with a lot of people wondering how the white house was going to address these allegations. this is a president who in the past has sought to push back on allegations like this when they have been lobbed against other people close to this white house, like his former staff secretary rob porter and others. the president, we know, is privately annoyed by all of this. he believes his nominee is being railroaded by what he characterized as old allegations. but what we're seeing publicly is the white house saying let's hear both sides. let's have brett kavanaugh testify and let's have his accuser testify. listen to kellyanne conway talk about that this morning. >> she should not be ignored. she should tes

let's bring in abbie phillips, david and jeffrey tubin. jeffrey, i want to start with you because with all due respect, that's not what he's going to be getting today. we're going to be getting impressions. impressions of how judge brett kavanaugh comporting himself and how professor blasey purports herself. this is not a fact finding mission. >> no. this is a political enterprise designed to get brett kavanaugh confirmed. this is the bare minimum that chuck grassley and the republicans have agreed to do to satisfy what they think are or they hope to satisfy the waivering votes in their conference. that's all this is. this is not an investigation. if this were a legitimate investigation, they would be asking a lot more witnesses questions. they would have the fbi doing independent fact finding. the only investigators who were working on this hearing are the republican staffers whose job it is to get brett kavanaugh confirmed. so, yes, we are going to learn something. yes, this is going to be a dramatic day. but, no, this is not a real inve

let's talk a little bit, abby, about this.ee conditions that the republicans put forward as phil accurately pointed out, professor ford and her team, her legal advisors are not happy with it. they don't want to do it on wednesday, maybe thursday. they don't want her to go first. they want her to go second and kavanaugh to go first and they want senators to ask the questions, not outside counsel. >> yeah, i think those are pretty -- i think the third of those issues is perhaps the biggest one. it is the dynamic of an outside person. who will this person be? what will their political leadings be? will this kind of set her up to be cross-examined as if she were in a courtroom but in an unfair way in which kavanaugh might not be examined as well. but i do think it feels like there's still movement forward, that they are getting -- inching closer to something of a compromise. i think that creates truly a perilous moment for republicans and for this president around this testimony. i think the fact of her sitting in front of the sen

abby phillip joins me there. quite a night in montana from the president. a lot of focus on the anonymous op-ed by one of his senior staffers in the "new york times" but interestingly a lot of talk about impeachment from the president and the fact that he pointed his finger saying if i'm impeached, it's your fault. meaning don't let democrats overtake the house. that's right, poppy. it seemed very much impeachment was top of mind for this president who has spent so much of this week dealing with a lot of blows coming at him, first from this bob woodward book that implied that the president's aides were trying to undermine him regularly then from this op-ed that was also reportedly written by a senior official in his administration also talking about ways in which a silent group of people trying to undermine him work every single day in this administration so the president using that to make a case to hiss supporters that they should be worried and come out to vote but he renewed his calls for the "new york times," using a national security rationale, to tur

abbie jones, san francisco"it definitely crosses my mind, it's a big concern, but i think it's the most practical way to be getting around so it didn't stop me from getting on bart itself."michelle kingston, mkingstonnews"now on top of all of this, bart says they are looking to fill about two dozen positions within their department, but for now, again, you'll likely see less officers on your commute.in walnut creek, michelle kingston, kron 4 news."

abbie mcmanus scored it. the keeper misjudged the bounce, perhaps both at fault. painful, though.other games... in super league next season. 30-0. they needed to win by 11! in the premiership, leicester tigers won 19—15 against sale. seventh in the table. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. this is bbc news. the conservative party conference currently under way in birmingham. and the international trade secretary liam fox. and rejected claims that she does not believe in brexit. her chequers plan. the chequers plan as it is currently constituted is dead, isn't it? no, it isn't. forward. neither of which were acceptable to the uk. the vote of the british people. away from the rest of the united kingdom. neither of those was acceptable to us so we said no. we would put our plan forward. and ireland, protects jobs and our union. there is a very comprehensive explanation of chequers. you say it is not dead but resting. any substantive way to alter your plan to get an agreement? what i have said to the european union is very clear. they have some concerns

thanks for coming in. >> thanks. >> you have -- abby laid out who has been released. a million pages from kavanaugh's past as white house attorney, a federal judge. make the case you need more. >> this process that will take place this week is a sham before it gets started. you have to go back to how kavanaugh was selected. this is the first time that you have seen a supreme court nominee put forward after a president named explicit litmus test in terms of who he would pick. would only pick people that would overturn roe. when they settled on kavanaugh, it turned out he had the longest paper trail of any nominee in supreme court history. mitch mcconnell warned against trump picking him for that reason. trump ignored that and picked him anyway. when the archivist said we won't be able to reduce all his material until late october, senate republicans said we will hold it on september 4th anyway. as a result, there's 3.5 million pages of documents being concealed that senators have not seen prior to this hearing getting under way. at this point, you have to ask, what's t

abbie phillip is at the white house today. let's start with the president's primary focus right now, which is on confirming judge brett kavanaugh. we will hear from him on thursday when he testifies before the judiciary committee. we do not expect to hear from him and his wife in a tv interview as we did last night, though. >> reporter: that's right, jim. that is one of those things that is preoccupying president trump, despite being here in new york for the united nation's general assembly. he has been pushing his aids over the last several days to get more aggressive in combatting some of these allegations, even as a second woman is now accusing brett kavanaugh of some behavior when he was younger in his college days. one of those signs of how president trump is pushing his aids to go further is that interview that brett kavanaugh did with fox news last night with his wife. he sat down for a lengthy interview going into many personal details about his personal life and denying many of the allegations. >> the truth is i have

. >>> i want to bring in white house correspondent, abby phillip, and david chalian and jeffrey toobin and this hearing is happening today. you can already see security milling about here, and there will be a smaller room than usual, which might paint a different picture than what we have seen in these type of hearings. david, before we get into the back and forth here, on a scale of 1 to 10, what are we looking at in terms of the impact here, the historical precedents? >> i clearly remember sitting in my college dorm room watching the anita hill hearings in 1981, and it's one of the political hearings in my life that made we want to get into the covering of politics. you know what a supreme court seat means. this is about reshaping in a more reliably conservative direction the balance of the court for a generation to come. so you have very high stakes around what this means for impacting american families going forward. there's little doubt about that. politically what it means that it is happening so close to an election, donald trump's report card coming up in just over five weeks

good morning, abby, to you. i don't know. what struck you most last night? was it the fact that the president said, seeming a little bit -- it's your fault if i get impeached. was it he spent so much time talking about this op-ed that was bad for him and talking about impeachment that would be bad for him? >> reporter: maybe it was a lighthearted joke. maybe it was a signal to his base. it seems impeachment was on his mind. it could be because this week has been a tough week for the president. he faced bob woodward's book and some of the revelations in there about what his own aides think about him. then this op-ed. the president may or may not have been sending a signal that this taken together is a good reason for you all to get out to the polls. but he is not laying off this anonymous senior administration official who still has yet to be identified despite what some characterize as a witch hunt going on in the white house right now. he did call on "the new york times" for national security reasons to turn this person over to the government. listen. >> no

abbie phillip joins us this morning. the white house standing by brett kavanaugh, really happy with that aggressive, defiant performance last night. what more are you hearing this morning about how confident the white house feels that they have the votes here? >> reporter: that's exactly right, poppy. we saw this morning white house officials fanning out to defend brett kavanaugh, to reinforce that the president saw him as giving a strong performance, a strong defense of himself yesterday in that testimony and they're saying they feel optimistic about where we're headed in terms of the final vote in the senate. but they were asked this morning if they have the votes of some of the key senators who are on the fence. susan collins, lisa murkowski, joe manchin of west virginia and others, and the answer was not exactly 100% yes. listen to one of the people leading the brett kavanaugh nomination process about that issue. >> at this moment, i cannot say for certain that we do. we think that judge brett kavanaugh's testimony c

abby phillip is there. there any reaction, first, from the white house on these new poll numbers out today? >> well, hey, kate. the white house hasn't responded directly to these poll numbers, specifically, but it's important to note that president trump over the last several days has been talking about why he's not getting more credit for one thing, the economy. these poll numbers seem apparently to reflect that despite the fact the economy is roaring, despite the fact that many americans give him credit for it, his poll numbers continue to sink low. and as you just mentioned, this is a white house reeling from a number of controversies. bob woodward's book, two former trump aides who faced criminal charges in the last several weeks and this then anonymous op-ed. you can tell president trump is frustrated the economy is not ruling the day and it's perhaps being overshadowed by all the rest of this controversy happening around him. >> on the woodward book, sarah sanders made it clear that they are trying to

. >> you've had so many hosts, abby is coming on. all week. >> two young heavyweights. i love it. i'm very friendly with meghan. we go out to drink although she can drink me under the table. i have a half a glass of wine, i'm asleep. this one, she can knock it down. >> the mccains, a thing for that stuff. >> and abby i» a little more lady-like. >> you look back over the ones you've. dozens. who are's top, three, four, five people you just love? >> meredith vieira, number one. my girls -- leave those out. >> not the -- >> whoopi and i are pals. >> exactly. >> we used to -- we're pals also. who else is there? rosie was -- hurricane rosie. she's a pal. she's one of the reasons, you know -- look, remember when she had that big fight with trump on "the view" flipped her hair over and went after the fact he didn't have any money? that really ticked him off, boy? he went back at her so vois viciously. anybody wants to know the real donald, watch that year. so evil and mean attacking her physically, about her body, about her looks. evil. nasty. >> yeah. well, you know, i think

abby phillip at the white house with the latest, thank you. it did not take long for the mayor of san juan, who the president yesterday called totally incompetent, to respond to this morning's tweets. she writes this is what denial following neglect looks like. mr. president, in the real world, people died on your watch. your lack of respect is appalling. leyla santiago joins us from puerto rico. what are you hearing there? >> well, listen, it's not just words like appalling. it's words like shame. people sort of in disbelief that anyone would believe that the number 3,000 is not real. given the devastation that came after hurricane maria. i think it's really important here to talk about these deaths. i mean, we have been here on and off for a year after hurricane maria. and yes, there were deaths immediately. people who had a stroke or a heart attack and 911 couldn't get to them with 150-mile-per-hour winds slamming the island. people who a tree fell on them. people who drowned in floodwater. and now, the number 3,000 is looking at the bigger

. >> joining me now abbie phillip with the latest. question here, is the white house going to focus on the positive in effect bolstering the president's credibility. you heard him taking issue with the accuser's story. where is the white house going to be on this, focussing just on brett kavanaugh or will they attempt to undermine the credibility of the accuser, too? >> this is exactly the line that the white house is trying to walk. but what we can tell from what our sources are saying is that this is going to focus on brett kavanaugh's relationship with women. we have already seen some of that coming out in the last several days. there was a list put together of 65 women who attended schools in the area around the time that brett kavanaugh and his accuser were in school in suburban maryland at that time. the white house has been in touch with many of those women and they say many of them are willing to public about their defense of brett kavanaugh. there is talk of this week organizing a press conference. now, the key here is a posi

>> abby for us at the white house. with me now to talk about all of it, john avalon and from "the new york times," alex branson. good morning. >> good morning. >> to say publicly when reporters asked him, yes, he thinks jeff sessions should investigate, to use the justice of department resources to investigate who within the administration wrote this. is that for real or is that just sort of pr, clever way to try to fight this? make some headlines? >> i'm sure the president would like to see an internal investigation, whether justice decides to launch it and under what criteria. >> they say national security. could justice -- can you see them actually launching an investigation into this? >> short answer, no. >> all right. >> the reason they keep invoking national security, the traditional law that administrations invoke when they're on leak hunts is the espionage of 1917. they have a shoe hornet into that parameter to have that fit. there's no indication in the op-ed that anything like classified information or nation

. >> but fans already know abby's replacement and she's talking all about her big promotion on set towhat was it like for you when you got that phone call and they said you're in? >> to be totally honest with you i started crying immediately. i was just like i did it. and then i called my mom and she was just so happy and she was crying and i was crying and it's great. >> diona reasonover just hit the guest star jackpot. she was visiting forensic scientist kasie hines last season. now she's a full-fledged cast member. >> never get on agent sloan's bad side. >> you're coming into this cast. were you nervous? >> i was so nervous. i was like freaking out on the way up. i was like i should have had someone drive me. >> i think it's fantastic. she's find a whole different spin and she has her own thing going and i think that's what the show needs. >> is there any kind of newbie hazing going on? like how do you welcome a newby on a very seasoned cast? >> we give them lots and lots of dialogue. >> with the show heading into its sweet sixteen season, wilmer tells us expect lots of action. >>
