guess what, judge cavanaugh deserved it and didn't get it. and he fit the profile of the loan bomber because he lived with his mother. i didn't know at the time but he was listening to my radio show and i was saying, that makes no sense. it turned out he was a hero. and he at least gave him a fair shot at the presumption of innocence. by the way, you might remember the duke lacrosse team who was falsely smeared. on our show, we didn't rush to judgment. i took the time to go and meet with some of the kids and their families to do some investigative work. let's not forget what the left dated in ferguson. darren wilson was never charged in his career was ruined anyway. all those officers were wondering what happened with freddie gray. how many times did the president of the time, obama, rush to judgment. so many people on the left, if it fits their political and ohmic agenda, if they can get cheap political points, they rush to judgment. no presumption of innocence ever with these people when it comes to politics. so yes, michael avenatti deserv

before we voted on justice cavanaugh on that saturday, i called dr.oyd and prayed with him on the phone before i cast that vote. that noan enriched life one can replace. want to thank my church and pastor. sister, allher, my of my family members that are here, they have turned out in full force. you supported me, loved me, put up signs. you have done everything for me. luke, jake, anna. i have all these cousins. raise your hand if you are a cousin. the official staff has been so wonderful. they do the heavy lifting. they do the work every day in my office. if you are official staff, raise your hand. these are great folks. the campaign staff, incredible. gon, as wehat magawa called it, the make america great again bus. we were successful today but it is because of the staff that is behind me. thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. , put upat waived signs signs, called their neighbors, text messaged, thank you very much. it doesn't happen just with a candidate. the republican party, lucian smith and his group, they were wonderful. the republican

to question judge cavanaugh and go into a discussion as to the legalities, that's how it looks going forward, that's coming up in the circuit court for the district, but for those who, i'm presuming him guilty before you have any evidence at all, that's outrageous and people who were so worried because people coming from sudan weredenied the right to the airport, they didn't give adamn about the rights of judge cavanaugh . >> . >>. >> allowed the congressman to finish please. >> you still have another 30 seconds. >> i appreciate that, thank you very much. so goes my point, but i'm saying here is i try to be consistent and whether i agree or disagree with judge cavanaugh, i would not be presuming him guilty without any evidence whatsoever, that's wrong. that to me is why so many people, 58 percent of independents thought he was treated badly. >> since we're talkingabout kavanaugh , i wasn't intending to go there yet but it's now been opened, i go to you miss gretchen. some people argued this wasn't a criminal trial, there's a presumption of guilt on him that virtually overwhelmingly w

it was in the ugliness during the cavanaugh thing. i am a pretty tough, he is tough. he comes home during the cavanaugh hearings and it is 5:00 in the afternoon i haven't brushed my teeth i'm sitting in , his easy chair watching tv. we have several rooms. i am watching fox. he hasn't been home for like a week and he walks in and he says i stand up he didn't even know what was going on. people are so -- we are so worn out by it. what you do when you're worn out by stuff like this. you just go back to first principles. i don't know if we know how to measure that. do you feel? , depending onr the waiting and all that jazz. we don't know how to measure this. not brushing your teeth all day and staying in the rope. robe.ying in the roles needleheir pointing. with a look at that group. [laughter] james: i call and said, is this guy, is he cool. he said he is one of the finest people i will ever know. i said, that is good. i don't think they could pay me. and furthermore, i don't think he can pay my expense. said, james, you must the goal. you are a member of the kennedy gen

guest: last month there was a slight uptim and the republicans spun very hard that the cavanaugh justice hearing were a mistake. now that whole thing turned out to be completely false. and the press coverage admitted the tone of it was the press was coming back. the polling was clear. it was a slight uptick. host: what were the impact of the hearings? guest: one could surmise it could have helped him in the red states. at what cost? we saw the backlash intensifying in these educated suburban districts where white women were driving it. host: what should they think sinema? guest: arizona was ground zero. in 2018 when he made his big statement, the big speech before election day was about imgation. who is aned joe arpaio local hero tosome. and flake was hounded out of the senate for being too anti-trump. that seat was vacated and along a democrat who picks it up. it shows you in the state where trump tried to stoke conflict around his signature issue. aller: i'm a disabled veteran. d i watched the 707 take his last appointment. so i could do the six-month cruise and everyone said why did y

. >> the effect of the cavanaugh hearing? who was upset about how cavanaugh was treated. he became the victim. they play that totally wrong. you really do have to have a lot of courage to stand up and admit you don't have the numbers. that is what the democratic candidates should've done in about july. he would not have become a victim meant. by the time of the election there were people motivated to go help the victim. you thought it would've been mrs. ford. >> no. >> we see that democrats who were in red state -- states lost their's seat. joe mansion in west virginia was reelected. >> so quickly, who won? blue or red? >> it is a tie. >> nancy now rises to the top of the heap. we will get to that next. all right. >> all right. back to you. >> i think he got cut off their but the mayor said that chuck schumer was going to drive for huber. >> one thing is that they gained control of the house and subpoena power and oversight. that will be a significant change. >> they will also be able to stop some legislation that comes out of the senate. they could also force a negotiati

he voted dagainst an cavanaugh and he embraces the idea of ope borders and sanctuary cities.don't have the luxury that you're soon-to-be hopefully colleague had with the libertarian, hean still have a lead, i love libertarians and really do. i have several libertarian streaks and make the problem is they're siphoning away boats fo you and that only helps cho donnelly so i'm asking my libertarian friends in indiana to vote for you, joe donnelly, he also didn't vote for either supreme court justice. he didn't vote for the tax cuts did he? >> no. it's basically thee same thing. both of our races have been dominated by chuck schumer pouring in all this negative advertising. selfless more government that are ready and willing to pay fo and shoved all that data onto our kids and grandkids. i think it's all coming home to roost across the country. you cannot win these racist by trying to tear down your competition especially when you got bad voting records like bot koester and joe donnelly. >> watching both of you, these are two very red states that have democrats that are totally a

it was always pre- cavanaugh. it was never better than one in three that they could get a majority in the senate. .. .. nobody can ever prove me wrong but i'm convinced the word deplorable cost a half-million votes somewhere along the way you could blame our campaign for making mistakes and they certainly made some and democrats can blame jim called me and the fbi. they can blame the russians, but all of that is so easy, so convenient to blame these things that rather than may be the parties got some problems and maybe yes america is changing. it is changing. it will continue to change. absolutely. but maybe i hadn't changed at quite the pace they thought it was and may be triggered a little bit of a backlash out there appeared where democrats have to think about the consequences from an economic consequences of things that they push. whether you look at the clinton administration and trade and think okay, maybe you folks believe free trade is the right way to go when nafta was a good thing to do an all back, that

that sort of plays into what are the critics of the people going after judge cavanaugh. >> and that's the same sort of situation. >> julie ended up backing up in an interview saying he spiked the punch and participated in these parties, but it does show you that in that overheated atmosphere, the public and the politicians have to be very careful about these explosive claims that there is no corroborating evidence. >> he's pursuing it and it's important to stick to the facts. in florida, two candidates try to win over miami voters where the district is increasingly purple. you have wealthy neighborhoods, many cuban-americans there and a lot of folks who fled new york and new jersey for the sunshine state so it's a very interesting mix of florida voters. and it's making for quite a race between maria salazar and donna show layla. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ a peaceful night sleep without only imagine... frequent heartburn waking him up. now that dream is a reality. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? bi

i think right after that cavanaugh supreme court fight. i was referring to as a color enhancement event. it made the red redder and the blame -- and the blue bluer. it did a lot of motivating. and given that the democrats were already incredibly motivated going in and it didn't benefit democrats so much in the suburbs. where republicans gained enormously in the states where they, in the red states and i think the president's his focus, on the wall and the caravan. on cavanaugh. i think it made a real difference in a couple of the u.s. senate races and it didn't do anything to help them or did very little to help them if it did anything at all. -- at all in the suburbs and congressional and other things but it really helped on the u.s. senate level. turnout, be really careful about what you say and write about turnout. because we know it is big and it went up. winner that. but the thing is, there are whole lot of votes that have not been counted yet. california and some other states are notoriously slow at counting votes. we do not know any

joining me now to discuss this jim cavanaugh and anthony roman. jim, you are the best business when it comes to covering the subject. i hate it when you come on. walk us through this. this all unravelled in a matter of minutes. it's an ongoing investigation. what are investigators looking for? >> it's going to be a massive homicide scene. 13 dead, they'll take their time to process it all. the shooter is dead. they'll go back and see if he had any accomplices or his motive. the reason for that is not only for the victims and the families, but to see if you can stop the next one. this one is over if he acted alone, but can you stop the next one? as a uniform cop i've been to bar shootings. it happens. it's a wild scene. this sergeant is a hero. he went in first. the trooper, as well. we call the doorway -- we call it the fatal funnel. when you come in, the shooter is inside. he knows you're coming in. he had a 45 glock automatic pistol. he unloads that and you can carry 10, 14 rounds in a pistol like that. you can unload on the sergeant and if he h

we're not talking about cavanaugh anymore. it's not headlines. we don't talk about t when obama got elected, pretty much everyone in the contry, people who now have voted for trump, were on his side. people wanted change. and we kept getting 5% change. we kept getting incremental change. and people are fed up with it. the affordable care act, republicans have already dismantled it. they took the mandate away. >> they have not dismantled it. there are millions of people in this country because of medicaid expansion that you get from the affordable care act that have health insurance. you have lily ledbetter passed in the first 100 days. >> true. that's all stuff that could easily be undone by the republican party. >> let's -- this whole pooh-poohing the legacy of an individual. they had the majority for two years. they had a majority for two years in the house and senate. in the house and senate, you actually had the affordable care act. you have people who are now covered -- did you know that -- c-sections were not covered by blue cross and blue

kennedy is replaced by cavanaugh, who is part of the group of rightist republicans on the court who areical right and bolshevik in their decision. that the republican revolution wants to do, the supreme court will rubberstamp it and that is new. that is new as just an x number of weeks ago. we have a anything compared to what is coming if the republicans are able to win this election. amy: trump succeeded in doing something quite unbelievable. last week in the middle of the night, i think it was one of his 3:00 a.m. tweets, he said "republicans are doing so well in early voting and at the polls and now this "bomb" stuff." this was in the midst of the letter bombs being sent to the obamas, the clintons, george soros, maxine waters. it read like a trump's list. trump said "now this bomb stuff happens in the momentum greatly slows. news not talking politics. very unfortunate what is going on. republicans go out and vote." he understood he could not bring up the caravan in the midst of this letter bomb attack. but then you have the killing of the african-americans in kentucky. yet the worst

the cavanaugh hearings. and the complete abuse of brett cavanagh and the entire process.id really help. i have not seen the news about two women having lied completely made it up. you're just not seen that story anywhere. it's outrageous that the second woman cames up i have a problem i was with her. she have a swimsuit on. that was in the grassley report. even the dr. ford story shows that it might be there. she was able to raise over a million dollars for the legal service. this wasn't necessarily a situation that was to the benefit of transparency they almost are in this guys life and it was a lie. they have made the referral to the department of justice. whether or not they get prosecuted. and you are looking at an attorney general who is on his way out now. you're not just cannot make stuff up. how close was texas. he won his seat remember he was mocked. for his war injury on saturday night live. i think marginally. he is in more than he should've been. i think we went over across the red line. i worry about the next guy are the next woman that was working their way

rhetoric you know obviously the the the some of the the the issues involving women that think the cavanaugh nomination the supreme court nomination that really galvanized a lot of women i think -- to actually go and vote in that clearly played a role here in many people's minds so i think it was a factor to continue to be a factor although at the end of the day -- you know a lot of these races went down similarly to the way the two thousand sixteen presidential election went between -- trump and hillary clinton of course i agree if if you were going to give the suburban and urban female voters what would you tell. well far be it from me to give trump advised i don't think he would take advice from a washington post reporter but i think that -- you know obviously -- trump has to make a decision he can continue to govern the style that he has -- which is to be deliberately provocative polarizing to intentionally alienate a lot of people but also win some real die hard fans -- or he can try to reach out and be a more -- bi partisan figure someone who is less abrasive someone who is less intere

changing any about those who are that was my one goal suspicion is not i mean in some ways i think cavanaugh. hearings actually provide kind of a good divide of where we would see some of these divisions so with me to movement the idea would be looking at kavanagh as an example of of someone speaking from within a credible accusation in terms of what he had done this would be support would be mobilizing. but for many of these other women what they're looking at this is they're saying this is being used for political purposes so they look at the the session and they at the hearings and they say to themselves it's more like a struggle session than a hearing in many ways while looking and saying there's all this attention here versus say someone like. ellison or and then some other individuals with accusations about sexual improprieties with women that the me too movement doesn't seem terribly interested for many of them they kind of categorized me to movement as just like black life matter or others groups that may have had a more broader base that effectively just shifted pretty much to the d

i he is already talking about impeaching trump and cavanaugh. area i think they could make a deal. t immigration. the president wants his border wall funding. and it seems to trade on those things.et i don't see the democrats wanting to give trump a victory. if he got it, he should. do you agree with bill on that. i don't think they really want to deal with that. i think the issue is can it be the extension of the program it will probably comene up to the supreme court within the next year or so. and if they uphold the president's decision than the democrats and republicans are gonna be in a position where they may have to negotiate. >> what about the dilemma that they might face if mueller comes in. nothing really major. the democratic base may say see, we still got something. they may have to make an interesting call. they may want to actually run against impeachment. if they try to make much ado about nothing but the tax returns. and profiting from his ventures. that actually play while for trump? >> i think it might be the one reason. making

expanding our senate majority the voters clearly rebuked the senate democrats for their handling of the cavanaughrings. that was a big factor. >>reporter: shortly after the news conference the trump administration received the resignation of jeff sessions as attorney general. is playing replaced by his chief of staff, matthew whitaker time a a vocal critic of robert mueller. >>> today gavin newsom will serve meals at saint anthony's -- an organization that feeds the homeless. is getting ready for his new job in sacramento. he may not be moving to the governors mansion. he reportedly hesitated when asked if he plans to move into the home near the state capitol. he is hinting that his wife and children would be happy to stay in their current home in marin county. >>> the woman taking newsom's current job is eleni kounalakis -- california's first female lieutenant governor. >> this was the program for texting. we texted 1 million women across the state of california. wear she met with me at her campaign office in the campaign office the day after being elected the first lieutenant female governor. i

another cavanaugh accuser by the way facing potentially severe criminal punishment over a false claime of the supreme court. and coulter is here next to break it all down and, what it could mean for the midterms. >> laura: brett kavanaugh might be sitting on the supreme court but the fallout from this confirmation battle is far from over. just hours ago, senator chuck grassley made another criminal referral to the department of justice, concerning an unnamed accuser who made rate allegations against kavanaugh. the unidentified woman admits she "just wanted to get attention" and that it was "a ploy." joining me now is and coulter. the convention here is that republican enthusiasm over the kavanaugh controversy was waning. what do you think about that the last few days of for the vote? >> liberals are crazy, and they've been going through a two-year tantrum. but this one really takes the cake. that letter she wrote reads like, penthouse letters, the detail of this gang rape, and then this woman in kentucky claims that she was the one who wrote it. it gives her name and, the senate judic

she later admittance admitted t the author and had never met cavanaugh kavanaugh.ey has made similar referrals to julie slotnick. this would radically change the way drug crimes were treated in that state. correspondent doug kennedy shows us how. >> and historically we've seen that the present doesn't work. >> keith bigler has been treating addicts both in and out of prison for 25 years and he says incarceration often gets in the way a real recovery. >> addicts really need some form of treatment if they are going to stay clean. >> correct. the threat of punishment is good for a lot of people in society, an overwhelming majority but when it comes to addicts they don't think like average people think. >> right now ohio prisons are 30% over capacity and that's one reason why be clear is facing this. >> ohio issue one would also prohibit sending people to prison for noncriminal parole violations. it would set aside a large percentage of projected $100 million savings for addiction treatment. it's a proposal that would provide a lot of pushback. >> it's not only law-enf

>> i believe in the best person for the position, right after cavanaugh and kavanaugh got anointed tos old position was given to a woman, which no one even spoke about at all. but president trump said that, it wasn't because she was a woman, he gave it because she put the bell and she was a best of the position and that's why she hired her. >> martha: so as a woman, why is that important or not important for women to be in the is rolls? >> women are unique, and we don't just understand women, we understand men and children. we do everything, we are the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. without women, everything would tank. so the next president, even though i wanted to be a democrat, i think women should be next. we should really say that we got necks because women have the unique ability to rule and to lead and to govern with integrity. you would not have a "me, too" movement. >> martha: oprah winfrey was talking about being independent and voting the way you want to vote, not being influenced by anybody out there, all of that. i'm influenced by statistics. right now we h

figure in american life did or said something that he or she didn't say or do, imagine during the cavanaugh hearings, if the day after dr. ford's testimony you had had a situation where video appeared, where it looked like brett kavanaugh was partying at yale 25 years ago, some grainy tape or fake audio of chuck schumer huddling with mike al avanatti and outearns trying to roll out different attacks. where with the walter cronkite be in american life that can starved up and tell the men people, we consults these folks and this audio is fake. this video of is fake. as we collapse the distinction between straight news reporting and editorial/commentary reporting i think we'll rapidly spiral toward a world where the assumption is that almost everyone who is speaking in this moment is an advocate. and in that moment i don't know how you actually bring the american people back together. one more stat and then i'll let you have the podium back for questions. one more stat i think we need to have in common -- actually want to do six of them and want get away with that. i promise. >> [inaudible] >>

the closing argument about cavanaugh and the caravan but also the economy. just talking about it, look at this abc "washington post" poll. 65% of the public has a positive view of the economy. highest level of optimism since 2001. the president said in these rallies if they score big wins, they will take a wrecking ball to the republican recovery, gas in the senate, g.o.p. has it up at 51%-49% edge. prognosticators like nate silver of 538.com hedging, saying democrats are clear favorites to win back the house, but it's not for certain. his models show a wide range for how many seats they may pick up. they need to flip 51 seats to take majority. listen. >> most are above 23 which is what they need to take the house, but no one should be surprised if they only win 19 seats. no one should be surprised if they would make 51 seats. extreme the profitable based on how poles are in the real world >> greatest political movement of all time in this country. it's an incredible time in america. jobs are soaring. wages are rising. poverty is plummeting, and more america

there is some discussion that they might reopen the investigation possibly in the perjury of judge cavanaughughts on that? >> my thoughts on it are that with everything that's been coming up, everything, every accusation that's been made, none of it stuck, they don't find any problems with his record of 12 years on the d.c. circuit court of appeals, everything a threw at him personally, nothing stuck to the wall, it just seems to me they are going down a wild-goose chase. they can do anything they want to. but to say after four days and 100 days that he was before the united states, four days of hearings and 100 days before the senate before he was approved that was a third longer than the average supreme court justice has. if they think they can bring something out, let them go to it. but i think they are barking up a tree. >> martha: senator chuck grassley, thank you very much. always good to see you. thank you for being here tonight. >> thank you, more thought. >> martha: coming up next, congressman ron desantis standing by live as he hits the home stretch in his race for governor of flor

been indicted, was too corrupt for even the clintons, somebody who said he wouldn't vote for judge cavanaugh going to based on the issues and i think ultimately, cindy hyde-smith gets reelected to the senate. >> harris: you and i have talked before about how the rnc doesn't get into the nitty-gritty on these local races but it's mississippi which has a particularly horrible history when it comes to hanging. i'm wondering, how do you deal with that kind of a comic? is that something you at the rnc would weigh in on? >> you know, i spent time with cindy last night, she said obviously those comments were not intended that way, she said that choice of words was not intended in any way to bring up that history, that's not something she is going to do as senator, she is going to represent every mississippian, people there know her heart and her values and democrats are using this to divide and she wants to unite. >> harris: did she say it was a joke? >> people there know her, she served in the senate and the secretary of agriculture, you know that is not at all what she intended with those comment

for it to continue to do what he does best, which is nominated excellent judges, like he did with cavanaughnd neil gorsuch. they have purview over the judicial branch by being able to nominate and also advised on some of these judges. >> leland: okay, but you still haven't answered the question. what is wrong and handily in your mind with the president going after the chief justice on twitter? we know that he has complained about them. i do you want me to do or i'm going to ask more judges to the supreme court. what's wrong with doing that in public? as the president is doing now. >> like i was trying to tell you a second ago, you have two unequal branches who are often at odds with one another. there are lots of historical precedents. that this is counterproductive. at a moment when you have people trying to politicize every institution of government, this is counterproductive for him and for his agenda. it would be better for him to focus on how he would be able to be successful and how he has been able to put in judges who actually do their job. >> leland: he certainly has never shied aw

lucy cavanaugh reports from london. >> reporter: a sad moment and a tragedy. that's how the head of the european commission described this day in brussels, a day which saw european leaders approve this divorce bill for britain after a messy year and a half long battle. the united kingdom is set to leave the european union in march, but it's not a done deal yet. prime minister theresa may has to sell this deal through a very skeptical british parliament. >> the deal we have agreed today to unlocks a bright future for the uk. >> may spoke after the eu unanimously approved a 600-page treaty which sets out the terms of the exit from the eu. it settles britain's $50 billion divorce bill. it also protects the rights of both uk and eu citizens and leaves the irish border open. but, again, getting this deal through parliament is going to be a very uphill battle. there is something in this deal for all sides to dislike. prime minister theresa may has promised a vote before christmas. the fate of her government now hangs in the balance. lucy cav nasanaugcavanaugh, nbc.
