brett: thanks.urces telling fox news president trump nominate seventh circuit judge amy coney barrett to the supreme court. announcement just minutes away. shannon, there are a lot of people already stepping up. obviously he's from indiana but colleagues, friends have sort of before, when she was going through the process the first time, now they are back saying why she would be the perfect choice today. >> as i mentioned earlier, the article written, who doesn't share many of her views, harvard law professor writes the interesting piece saying when we were clerks together on the court, one or two people were just miles above everybody else and she was one. he talked about how he would go to her very difficult complex statutory textual interpretation questions and he knew she was the best at that. so he talks about how even though he's grieving over the loss of justice ginsburg from the bench and doesn't want to fill the seat by president trump, he admits and says she's plainly qualified, she's a br

it all crescendoed with brett kavanaugh.hen harry reid change the rules, it change the entire nominating process. what i fear over time is that if we don't turn it down a notch , that good men and women will be more reluctant to be a judge. because of what you have to go through. think say this -- i brett kavanaugh having survived was a great thing because it shows that these tactics did not work. host: we want to be respectful of your time. can i give you one last question? if it is not an intrusion on your schedule. i know you have other things and we don't want to keep you from it. earlier in remarks, you mentioned more than 300 special interest groups and a few of their colleagues have voiced support for the idea of expanding the number of justices on the supreme court. this would not be the first time it was ever discussed. i think it was a century ago during the new deal, there was a , from myking plan recollection, about the switch in time that saved nine is the phrase. there has been a discussion once before at least

the same individuals who tried every conceivable dirty trick to obstruct justice neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh are lining up, lining up to proclaim the third time will be the charm. >> by a modicum of decency and honor leader mcconnell and the republican senate majority have no right to fill it. >> the big question does mcconnell have the votes, he says he does but only two democrats need two additional, to defect, which you see. cory gardner who is in question now says i have and will continue to support judicial nominees will protect our constitution will not legislate from the bench and uphold the law, if a nominee puts forward i will vote to confirm. shook grassley signaling his support saying once the hearings are underweight is my responsibility to evaluate the nominee on the merits just as i always have, joe biden continues to refuse to list his own potential candidates as his running mate wade enduring instagram interview. >> whoever is elected to make the decision about the supreme court period. period. that is how it should be. >> today it is all lies on mitt romney was ver

this is the exchange between her and brett kavanaugh back then. would gather witness statements. do you have witness statements? >> i don't want to debate with you how they do your business. are you willing to ask the white house to do it and say yes or no and then we can move on. >> six background investigations. >> as it relates to the recent allegations, are you willing to have them do it? >> the lis witness testimony, no witness supports that i was there. >> i'm going to take that as a no and we can move on. >> martha: it takes you right back to how tense it was back then and you have to feel for what's coming with these potential candidates and what they're going to be put through. >> not only was it tense but unjust, unfair, and dishonest. there were a number of smears that were launched against brett kavanaugh and his family that ended up not being true. the media blew up all of the allegations against brett kavanaugh but when the senate judiciary committee issued a 400 plus page report showing the detailed investigations of every single on

what got me going is i have known brett kavanaugh for almost 20 years. i know him to be one of the most capable people any republican president would nominate to the supreme court. here is the one thing that united the party. he was the private secretary of president george w. bush. he met his wife working for the bush administration. president bush was on the phone day in day out, patching for cap. - vouching for him. group, thethe bush mccain group ann romney group. all of us believed that anybody on the republican side would have put brett kavanaugh on their short list. we saw thisened was as an attack on us, conservatism. we saw what they were doing to line of wanting power too much. it in terms of an offense betrayal friend and a of what i had tried to do. thomas and alito through this every republican conservative is a racist, lovable law. -- blah blah blah. why is it always our people? what i said that day i meant, that i looked everyone in the eye and said i never would have done this to your nominees. i would not have picked soto meyer or kagan

attorney for utah brett tollman joining us now to react. >> good morning. thank you. jillian: were you surprised when you heard this. >> look, it's no mystery that senator romney does not like this president. and i think if he had any chance to frustrate him without compromising some basic fundamental and foundational beliefs that he has, he probably would. but, at this point, i think it tells you how important and vital this nominee is and how the republicans have a purpose here in trying to preserve the constitution in their eyes. todd: take a look these are the likely scotus nominee breakdown as it stands there 51 g.o.p. senators in favor. do you see any land mines that could derail confirmation? >> well, you know, we didn't see anything coming with kavanaugh. and if you look back at sort of the history of the nomination process, the democrats have been very open about their attacks on these nominees from bourque and thomas to kavanaugh. so, you know, it's anybody's guess what is going to happen, but i will tell you there are some nomine

jonathan mattingly, detective brett hankison and myles cosgrove. the families are demanding at minimum they get second-degree manslaughter but we say it is possible that some are all three officers may not be charged with any type of homicide. we are about to find out. so far one officer was fired for wildly shooting in taylor's apartment. the other two are still on the job. a new development. sergeant jonathan mattingly involved in the warrant and the footing death the fox affiliate in louisville report that mattingly wrote strongly worded e-mail to colleagues in the early morning hours yesterday writing in part you do not deserve to be in this position. position that allows thugs to get in your face and yell, curse and degrade you. throw bricks, bottle at you and expect you to do nothing. we know we did the morem moral thing. the attorneys say they will likely say it was self-defense. they were fired at first by her boyfriend who said he thought the intruders were breaking in. no matter what the grand jury decision is not a conviction or a verdic

remember how close it was for brett kavanaugh. and i think you have to ask yourself: would lisa murkowski of alaska, susan collins of maine, would some of those republicans who are on the edge vote for anyone that the president nominates at this point given that we're, you know, the president's first term has almost come to an end and we don't know what the outcome of the election would be. so i think that's a fair question that we have to ask the other thing is is this a practical matter the supreme court's new term will start in just a matter of two weeks. the first monday in october is the traditional time so what it means is we are going to have a supreme court that will have an even number of justices and the last time that happened, when justice scalia died, you know, the court kind of scales itself back. when you face the possibility of these tie votes, you know, it's harder to trance act a lot of business on the other hand, it leaves the conservatives now with a determined majority on the court. even though it's just eight

she was an aggressive questioner of brett kavanaugh. would be in that role presumably for democrats on the committee if we get a process going with the trump pick as soon as saturday. so think about that and how it changes her plans and the democratic ticket's plans campaign-wise. she can do a lot less of this and a lot more sitting around at a committee hearing in washington after this. attention veteran homeowners: record low mortgage rates have dropped even lower. at newday, veterans can shortcut the refinance process and save $250 a month. $3000 dollars a year. with the va streamline refi at newday, there's no appraisal, no income verification, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $3000 a year. my wife and daughter had been killed in an automobile crash, and lying in the bed were my two little boys. i couldn't have imagined what it would've been like if i didn't have insurance to cover them immediately and fully. forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months t

they reopened the clarence thomas hearings in the fall of 1991 after they heard -- same thing with brett cavanagh and christine ford it just because you submit someone to the judiciary committee does not necessarily mean this is move sailing. keep in mind what happened with harriet myers, former white house counsel george bush nominated, she had to withdraw, they defeated robert bork, president reagan's nominee on the senate floor in 1987 and douglas ginsburg was nominated. he had to withdraw. that is how we ended up with anthony kennedy. if they do the bidding process, it does take a wild. to do that in 40 days or so it depends how quickly donald trump wants to move even though he put up a list of potential nominees. shannon: some of the nominees on his list including the old and new list, he met with them before they went through this process last time around, brett kavanaugh -- we will see if that impact so republicans hold to gather the vote with the issue of filibuster. >> it will be a question if they have the votes. the math is very important. the breakdown in the senate is 53 rep

even when brett cava naugh was nominated, that she was in line even when brett cavanaugh was nominated at this. more than anything, we are surprised at the timing and the tone the present use. well folks in some states are actually already voting. she's a popular pick of the conservatives, and we're going to see what comes out of these hearings. how well—qualified is she? you may not agree with her politics or some of the rulings that she's handed down, but she is widely regarded as being an extremely well—qualified judge. yeah, ithink an extremely well—qualified judge. yeah, i think this nomination today is more about the politics. she is in fact perhaps qualified. she's served under the late justice, in fact perhaps qualified. she's served under the latejustice, she served under the latejustice, she served in indiana, so she's in many ways quite qualified, but the questions are about the of this. frankly, justice ginsburg was a staunch advocate for women's rights, so staunch advocate for women's rights, so to replace a justice ginsburg with a conservative jurist raises some questions

against brett having a new sexual misconduct allegations president trump coming to his defense they'regoing to be dealing with credibility issues around judge cavanagh this was a candidate that was a bad choice even before the allegations came out there are still really over the brett kavanaugh nomination i didn't trump has appointed more federal judges supreme court judges then anyone almost in history but this is going to be the most rancorous the most i mean you are going to see her and anger president said last night that he wants to appoint a woman good luck for her good good luck for her her family what they're going to put her through i can only imagine. but with ginsburg seat open we're seeing the exact same situation as when antonin scalia died back in 2016 but the sides are reversed eventually trump was able to appoint a conservative to fill scalia's position but that was only after a long struggle between former president barack obama and the republican dominated senate now the democrats are preparing for payback 4 and a half years ago republicans invented the principle that

his name is brett hankinson. that officer who fired at least ten shots blindly police said into breonna taylor's apartment. the other big thing the ballistic report. rep the attorney general here said just before he put the case before the grand jury, he had just received the ballistic report. went to the fbi, had them review the ballistic evidence and said that was an important part of this case. we'll see if he's going to expand on that whether or not he'll give details about that ballistic report. exactly who fired what shots. that's a key part of this investigation. perhaps we'll learn more about that. we're moments away from a decision here from the grand jury as we await, again, that's supposed to take place any moment and then we're expected to hear from the attorney general. brianna? >> that ballistic report is so important here, shimon. right? we're talking about a number of bullets. i think ten, or thereabouts, from detective hankinson and then you have, i believe, the two other officers who also fired

do they go on a character assassination as they did with brett kavanaugh?nk it is risky especially with suburban women out there watching and a big voter group up for grabs but we are not going to know about the impact of this nomination and confirmation until the process is done. paul: my view would be, i don't know the impact on the election but it is too important constitutionally not to go ahead. so go ahead, confirm and see what happens. still ahead, presidential nominee set to square off first debate with joe biden, a tremendous advantage when they take the stage in cleveland. a panel on the expectations and what's at stake in tuesday night showdown. next. ♪ all eyes are on cleveland were president trump and democratic nominee joe biden was were off tuesday the first three presidential debates. the first one moderated by fox's own, chris, the two candidates on the supreme court, the coronavirus pandemic and the economy, recent violence in major cities among other topics. what should we expect as the president and former vice president take the debate

brett o'donnell and jennifer palmieri, thank you so much. >> thank you.'re welcome. >> woodruff: in the day's other news, ndemic's human cost came into stark new focus, with one million people deade. worldw that includes 205,000 deaths in the united states. and the head of the world health organization warned, there is no enin sight. we will talk to a top w.h.o. official after the news summary. there is also fresh evidence of covid's economicost. the walt disney company says it is laying off 28,000 workers at its theme parks in california and florida. the florida sites have reopened, but with restricted attendance. the california parks remain clos. hundreds of thousands of students went back to elementarc ol in new york city today. their return had twice been delayed. in brooklyn, children wore face masks and had their temperature taken at drop-off. but, mayor bill de blasio also announced that the dailyate ofsi pove covid tests rose above f 3%or the first time in months. >> obviously, everyone isab concernet that. that is something we all have to work on

she's getting pushback in maine for the brett kavanaugh decision and voting for brett kavanaugh. some of these can go either way and not only that but it fires up both bases. let's make sure not only on the right side of the left will be immensely fired up to make sure they get control of the senate. ideally in their view, they have this chance to block or possibly move forward with this justice. >> tucker: a dramatic season just got so much more so. thanks so much, i hope we see you next week. an opinion host with the hill newspaper, we were happy to have him on tonight. what do you think republicans should do after they pause and acknowledge that a human being has passed, someone who served in the court for 27 years but as a political matter, what are they go now? >> like you said, that is the question being asked in washington right now. he made a key point, this puts the issue of the court front and center in every single election, that could be great for some republicans which are on the cusp in certain races, it could be terrible for somebody like susan collins. already whi

brett? >> live on the north lawn, thank you. says president trump should wait on the supreme court pick. biden will not however say whether he would push to add to the number of justices on the supreme court if he becomes president. he was correspondent peter doo peter doocy. >> stayed home in delaware today as running mate kamala harris hit the campaign trail in flint, michigan. >> should democrats pack the court? >> that's what some democratic leaders want to do. fed states of the supreme court and fill them with liberals. by then use to stand firmly against the idea. but now he is tight-lipped saying last night it's a legitimate question. let me tell you why i'm not going to answer that question because it will shift the focus. that's what he wants. that nonanswer says a lot to set a majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> former vice president biden himself refused to rule out that he would pack the supreme court supreme court. >> that would require a major change to senate tradition which d

grand jurors did indict brett hankinson for blindly shooting into an apartment, endangering taylor's neighbors. night has now fallen in louisville where protestors are continuing to march in the streets. we have a live look right now. we also are hearing reports now confirmed reports that a police officer in louisville has been shot and kil

we saw it with brett kavanaugh. several senators said they would be voting against brett kavanaugh yet they changed their votes when the time actually came. i don't think democrats can depend upon the republicans doing the right thing. very clear they made that very clear given the statements that have been issued to date. >> if they can't rely on the republicans, what are the options available to democrats going forward? >> i think chuck schumer put it best when he said all options are on the table. if they're successful in winning back the senate come this november, i think you will see them considering packing the court which is the equivalent of extending the number of justices on the court. there's no supreme court mandate and we've heard many others talking about expanding the court, not only to 11 but maybe 15 jurors. we've also heard talk about eliminating the filibuster and even giving statehood to washington, d.c., and potentially puerto rico which will give democrats an opportunity to pick up some additio

ultimately filled by brett kavanaugh. as to who the president will pick this time around, we will know within days. president trump today acknowledged it might come after the election but that his preference would be to have a vote on his supreme court nominee by november 3rd. >> we have plenty of time to do it. i mean, there's really a lot of time. it sends a good signal. it's solidarity and lots of other things. i am just doing my constitutional obligation. i have an obligation to do this. so i would rather see it before the election. >> the front runners to succeed ruth bader ginsburg according to sources close to the white house are judge amy coney barrett of the seventh circuit court of appeals. george barbara lagoa of the 11th circuit, and judge allison rushing over the fourth circuit said to be a favorite among evangelicals. >> we are looking for someone who's brilliant, really understands the law and abides by the constitution. and a good person. we are looking for a good

harris raise her profile questioning justice brett kavanaugh and barrett's hearings will mark the first time the vice presidential candidate is part of that committee. biden is heavy into debate prep, only pausing for a fundraiser tonight when he promised he will make the case against trump's reelection in tomorrow's debate. if there's one indication how fixated on this debate biden is he's issued no reaction to yesterday's new york times or put a legend donald trump avoided paying income taxes for years. the first reaction from the ticket came just one hour ago from kamala harris. >> first thing i said, did you say 750.00 i couldn't believe it. >> biden will likely make his first comments on that tomorrow. in cleveland. >> joe biden may be steering with addressees acting judge barrett but kamala harris who sits on the senate judiciary committee and is expected to bring plenty of heat for the nominee in next month's confirmation hearing is speaking out. >> i'm going to be looking at the issue of roe versus wade and whether there's going to be an adherence to precedent and an adherence t

if you remember, she voted against brett kavanaugh just a few years ago. so they're certainly lining up. but, remember, mcconnell needs to hold his conference together. but democrats need four republicans to cross the aisle and vote with them. right now they only have two. and these statements are really interesting because essentially what these two women are saying is they are not comfortable

brett thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks guys. ainsley: thank you.esn't have a recipe in the cookbook because she doesn't cook at all. >> [laughter] jillian: good morning. let's start off with this story though. kentucky's attorney general will release grand jury reportings in the be an a taylor case tomorrow comes after one of the jurors sued to make it public. louisville has seen days of protests after no officers were directly charged in taylor's death back in march. the former detective was charged with endangerment for shooting into nearby apartments and he pleads not guilty at his arraignment yesterday. >> negotiations set to resume this morning on a new coronavirus relief package. house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steven mnuchin agreeing to more talks after speaking on the phone. it comes as house democrats unveil a separate $2.2 trillion plan and includes another $1,200 stimulus check more money for the paycheck protection program, and restoring the $600 per-week unemployment benefits that expired this summer. >> today georgia

i bring in our panel brett is a former prosecutors and parks on the trayvon martin case. i want to gove kentucky attorney general announcement today. >> according to kentucky law the use of force was justified. this bars us from pursuing criminal charges in miss breonna taylor's death. criminal homicide encompasses the taking of a life by another. while there are six possible homicide charges under kentucky law, these charges are not applicable to the facts before us because our investigations show and the grand jury agreed that mattingly and cosgrove were justified in their return of deadly fire after everything been fired upon by kenneth walker. >> so we have brett tolman an darrell parks. darrell if i could get your thoughts about this news? >> i think it's a tough case that the news that the attorney general brought forth. the black community hears this but the problem is we've seen so much of the facts that happened in this case and although we don't know what the matter in which the case was presented to the grand jury it seems to most of us in the african-american

these are a lifetime appointment and we certainly saw a lot of protests here on capitol hill with brett kavanaugh. there was a very dramatic scene and we certainly sound with clearance thomas and anita hill and they reopened the clarence thomas hearings in the fall of 1991 after they heard about anita hill in the same thing happened with brett kavanaugh and just because you submit someone to the judiciary committee, that doesn't mean that this is smooth sailing. keep in mind of what happened with harriet miers, former white house counsel who president george w. bush nominated, she had to withdrawal and going back a little bit further they defeated robert york and president reagan's nominee on the senate floor in 1987. douglas ginsberg was nominated and he had to withdrawal and that's how you end wound up with anthony kennedy. it takes a while and they can get it an it done in 40 days or. >> shannon: yeah, we know that some of the people who are nominees on his list including the old and now the new list, he's met with them before and they've gone through the process last time around wit

and a little caveat on what brett said. donald trump, president trump, tends to go back to the things that work for him. what worked for him was his style in the primary debates many 2016. he lost all three general election debates 2016 by every fair call other than the call in polls, so i would guess he's going to go back to the style of the primary, which is deminnish, debate and denigrate and i think that if he does that, the american people will be very disappointed. >> i'm curious, brett, since we know that donald trump won the coin toss, if you will, he will be offered the first question. how does he come out of the starting gate? what will be, will he be as robert just described? >> well, i think he's got to come out of the starting gate on offense and go after joe biden and try to make this a choice election, not just a referendum on himself. and there's lot of opportunities for it and i think that we'll have to see how biden handle a real test like this. he's not done an inbly tough interview up to this point in th

brett said he was for the travel ban and brett pressed him a few times on that.ntinue uselessly said joe biden walls for the travel babble. a lot of back and forth and dodging. brian: brett was just as the trump mur to have who came after that. that's the only way to get progress if you allow people to continue to say things that make no sense. meanwhile, carly shimkus is here to tell us what's happening in the news. carley: that's right. we're going to start here with a first alert. at least 10 people are dead in a mooive wildfire in bute county, california. making it the state's deadliest wildfire this year. 16 people still missing. firefighters say more than today the four former minneapolis officers charged in george floyd's death will appear together in court for the first time. chauvin. king, -- all face the judge. first time he will appear in person. he dolls remain behind bars. other exofficers are free on bail. protests are expected outside the courthouse today as the judge weighs moving the trial out of minneapolis. will decide whether the former office

brett kavanaugh in particular.he's giving herself liberal room here to decide that she's either going to vote for a trump nominee, even if there's a democratic senate or, in fact, i read that statement as not committing either way as to whether she would abstain from voting or vote against a trump pick if, in fact, he has one before the election or after the election in a lame duck and there is a biden win. so she doesn't officially commit herself to voting against the trump pick if mcconnell goes against her wishes, which i'm pretty sure he will. she just says i don't think it should happen. >> she's saying what she'd like to see happen. she doesn't say what she'd do dependent on what happens. there's an important discussion on the calendar for the supreme court. we all lived through this pandemic. a week after the election, there's taking up bam obamacare. how significant of a driver might that be when the president talks about trying to push this through before the sflex. >> -- election. this is incredibly signi

the officer, brett hankison, will face three charges of wanton endangerment because some of his bullets went through ms taylor's apartment into a neighbour's flat. no officer will face charges for her killing. here's the attorney general, who led the investigation. i understand that miss breonna taylor's death has become a part of a national story and conversation, but we must also remember the facts and the collection of evidence in this case are different than cases elsewhere in the country. each is unique and cannot be compared. two other officers, sergeant jonathan mattingly and detective myles cosgrove, also fired their weapons. here's the attorney general explaining why they won't be charged. detective cosg rove and sergeant mattingly werejustified in returning fire, because they were fired upon. i'll leave it to others to make determinations. we have vigorous self defence laws in this state, and that is something that existed prior to this case. i'll let others make judgments about that. this is breonna taylor. she was a 26—year—old emergency medical technician. in march, she was

detective brett hankison fired his weapon 10 times, including from an outside sliding glass door, and through a bedroom window. some bullets travel through apartment 4 and into apartment 3 before some exited that apartment. at the time, 3 residence of apartment 3 were at home. including a male, a pregnant female, and a child. >> the grand jury determined that officer miles cosgrove and mattingly shot in self-defense and were not indicted. according to the kentucky attorney general, cosgrove filed the fatal shot but it was determined officer brett hankison fired blindly into several apartments and recklessly endangered taylor's neighbors. the officer was fired back in june, he is facing up to 15 years in jail, on those three charges. the attorney general, appeal to the community afterwards, to let justice take it's course. >> i understand that ms. breonna taylor's death has become a part of a national story and conversation. but we must also remember the facts and the collection of evidence in this case, are different than cases elsewhere in the country. each is unique and cannot be co

hisjob shots, brett hankison, he was fired from his job and shots, brett hankison, he was fired fromnd went on in that apartment in the killing of breonna taylor, no punishment. that happens all too often. there is in the united states something that is called qualified immunity. that often times gives police officers, where they are not held accountable and he comes to civil culpability, criminal culpability, and that is we are seeing here. on the one hand, officer fired, it is clear something we nt officer fired, it is clear something went wrong, and yet there are no charges for her murder when he simply shoots bullets to another home and he charge for that. we also know there are $12 million, a lot of which are lawyer fees which will not go to breonna taylor's family, it does not come from a policed deferment budget, does not happen from a police department insurance policy, instead, it is from... breonna taylor is could be paid back —— family is going to be paid back for the mercy of a family member. —— murder of family for the mercy of a family member. —— murderof family member.

only charges brought by the grand jury where 3 counts of wanton endangerment against fired officer brett hankinson for shooting into a home next to briana taylor's home that had people inside yeah that despite taylor getting shot multiple times by officers who burst into her home. >>on march 13th during a narcotics investigation. news nation reporter nichole berlie is breaking down all of the latest developments. >>after 6 months of investigating an announcement from kentucky's attorney general on the briana taylor's death investigation, a grand jury voted to return an indictment. >>against detective hankinson for 3 counts of wanton endangerment former police officer brett hankinson indicted by a grand jury after the attorney general said he fired 10 bullets some of which went into an apartment adjacent to briana taylor's. >>the attorney general saying 2 other officers jonathan mattingly, and myles cosgrove both fired shots that march night, including what he called the fatal shot that killed 26 year-old taylor, they're not being indicted our investigation found that mattingly in cars gr
