i want to bring bret baier back. you know, bret, we were just talking about those 50 votes you need. you were talking about the relationship between senator jeff flake and democrat senator chris coons and how this maybe hinged on a relationship that they have a friendship. did you hear the president there? i don't know if we'll go on and get a vote. and now christopher coons. bret, i will come back. >> the democratic calculation hacaucus hadbeen cai investigation. i will say this i think yesterday's very long hearing was a difficult day for dr. ford, a difficult day for judge kavanaugh. i think it was difficult for the american people to see our judiciary committee in the senate so divided. and the tone generally so partisan. what i am encouraged by is that in a ante room back hall conversation first with senator flake and then with senator feinstein and then with many other senators of both parties, there was a broad agreement that this committee has been too divided and too partisan in this process and a hope that b

let's bring back our chief political anchor bret baier. this is both sides, bret. we have protests going on capitol hill and it's clear that mitch mcconnell is saying, look, this thing needs to go forward. >> bret: trace, that's about as heat you had as the senate majority leader ever gets on the senate floor talking about this process and how he feels that brett kavanaugh has been mistreated by the action of senate democrats and holding the original allegation since back in july and now this other allegation for more than a week. detailing how the "new york times" wouldn't go forward with the story because they had no corroborating witness to this latest accuser. so we are in a different place here in washington ahead of this hearing on thursday, which is going to be, as you can see, heated and much watched. >> trace: yeah. i know you and martha are going to be covering this thing. one ear on the road going on in the white house and one ear on the kavanaugh hearings. it's going to be a lot to cover. i'm struck by the fact that mcconnell was on there and he was tal

let's bring in the anchor of special report, bret baier. bret, what is your take on this? >> it's quite something. it has gone fast. i think the dynamic has changed, obviously, after this accuser came public. i think you are going to have a hearing. much like you had with anita hill and the clarence thomas confirmation process. i think you are going to have this accuser come up under oath in a hearing. when does that happen? it likely happens this week, if i was to put a bet on it. but -- you know, thursday, friday, who knows? the vote was scheduled to be thursday. there just doesn't seem, with all of these people coming out, not only democrats but you have jeff flake, bob corker, others announcing -- senator susan collins -- saying they should testify. i think you are going to have a push for a hearing. >> melissa: and we've got to this point in time where no one really believes what anyone else says happened behind closed doors. so it seems like it has to happen in front of the cameras. do you think there is an appetite for that? is that how it would happen? >> i think t

more on these developments, bringing in bret baier, the anchor of "special report." great to see you today. first of all, let's not miss what is happening thursday. two things that are huge in the news now. the president set to sit down with deputy a.g. rosenstein who may or may not be in trouble in terms of keeping his job. and then the he said/she said in the back and forth over the confirmation over judge brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. you say what? >> i say that will be a newsy day. i think rosenstein, this development of this story is quite something to watch. if you look at the beginning here. the reports that he offered his resignation. and then reports that he was going to resign or be fired. and then reports that he was heading to the white house. then reports that he was there for a normal scheduled meeting. he's not resigning. and then the white house saying he's going to meet with president trump on thursday. the evolution of this was something. now the justice department says he is the deputy attorney general, he's just returned back from the whit

bret baier, chief political anger and executive editor of "special report." this has not been without another day of drama. >> you saw the speeches, senator grassley saying there will be a fixed time that the committee will move forward with the vote. it looks like that is starting to happen, i don't see all the senators in the room. senator graham walked back in the room and said it was just grassley and graham and senator graham said look, it's you and me, let's vote. joking, but i think every buddy will get back in. eventually you are going to get a vote right now it seems 11-10, along party lines and the committee vote as we see it now. >> harris: can we talk about the we vote for lawmakers to go to washington to act on our behalf at some of them have decided they would rather walk out of the room and not participate? what is the meaning of nonparticipation at this juncture, does it matter to get it to a full senate on brett kavanaugh and the supreme court? >> it doesn't matter, but i think they will vote no in the vote on the actual recommendation. they

bret baier, host of "special report" is with us. here? >> hi, stuart. i think it is coming to a head here and that the republicans on the committee are going to move forward. if dr. christine blasey ford does not testify, they are going to move forward with a vote. remember, the committee offered not only public testimony but private, closed-door testimony and to send staff out to california to interview her and hear her side of the story. what started out as beginning of the week, yes, she wants to testify, she will do whatever it takes to get the story out, midweek, turned into why the rush? let's delay and let's figure out this fbi investigation request by the democrats. so i think that the republicans are coming to a head here and they're going to stand firm and move forward with the vote. stuart: if there is a full vote in the senate and there will be, it occurs to me it could be republican senators who vote no and finish the confirmation. he is not getting on the supreme court. senators corker, flake, collins, murkowski. they'
