senator graham: my cable is out. >> [laughter] >> senator graham -- senator graham: it literally is. >> the are throwing smoke now. you are cutting into my time. senator graham: you will get all you want and then some. >> actually i don't want to start with the obvious thing if you don't mind. senator graham: north korea. >> [laughter] jeffrey: no, i want to do our policy toward india. -- have noten spoken since this -- i want to talk about john mccain. i want you to talk for a minute. you were very close to the senator. friend, mentor, closest even something of a father figure. senator graham: brother. he hated that father stuff. jeffrey: nevertheless, i wonder how his death has changed you. senator graham: it put pressure to up my game. a vacuum is being left in the senate. when they write the history of the senate, john will be in the first paragraph. ted kennedy, people who were could findical, who way to move things forward. he was the keeper of the flame for the reagan view. we make history, we are not run over by it. america's values are our strongest asset, not our military.

senator graham: you are. you're suggesting the reason i got mad was for some political play. >> [applause] senator graham: the reason i voted for sotomayor and kagan is the reason i came to his defense because i thought he was being treated like crap. this is america. turn to don mcgahn and tell him if you are innocent, you want to continue to have your family torn apart. that was too much for me so here is the game here. when i am bogeying -- voting for two female nominees, i am smartest guy in town, i am the epitome of what a republican would be like. when i defense a muddy i know for 20 years, all of a sudden it is about lindsey. the reason i did what i did is because i wanted to let the country know if this is the new normal, god help the next person who follows brett kavanaugh. i want people to know in this country you don't have to turn and prove anything. if you are not asking for the cops to investigate, it is not not the way -- it is not the way to go. i have seen democratic senators say, i believe h

now graham says -- >> mr.nt, if you get mad at me, call me. >> reporter: now, a recent cnn poll showed graham with high marks from 59% of gop voters compared to that trump critic, jeff flake, who gets just 22% support. graham is trying to use that new popularity to help republican candidates like katie arrington in the house district in the charleston area. even as national republicans are now nervous about that seat, jake, dumping in late money to fortify her position in a district trump easily won. >> manu raju, thank you so much. >>> so this has been an interesting evolution, especially for some of us who have known lindsey graham for 20 years. i first met him on the straight talk express in 1999, one of the few house members who endorsed senator john mccain. what do you think john mccain would make of this, may he rest in peace? >> i think he would be very depressed to see lindsey graham going down this path. if anything -- if there's anything john mccain stood for, one of the many very important things he

graham. >> lindsey graham has fwon through stagone through stages in his life.ager during the clinton impeachment, which many people saw was a partisan thing to do. in 2000 he supported john mccain in that vicious primary. he and mark sanchez stood out down there, and then began the long period of lindsey, john mccain and joe lieberman. that's the lindsey graham that is in peoples heads, particularly journalists heads. but he was always a conservative. a funny thing happened to his friend mark sanford, which is sanford lost a primary because he was oppositional to trump. and early on in the trump years, there was polling in south carolina which showed that if lindsey graham continued toen a to be anti trump, he could suffer the same fate as mark sanford. he decided to do that. the last thing is a judicial nomination is one thing that unites the republican party, from the trump wing to the business wing. >> even some never-trumpers. >> yeah. so going crazy on this, it looks crazy to us, some of the things he said are outrageous, but it doesn't hurt him in the rep

lindsey graham did a tremendous job of calling this what it was.crats are reduced to talk about fart jokes in a yearbook, they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. this ended up a good day for judge kavanaugh. >> lou: i mean, senator whitehouse really will never -- >> of all people to be talking about person's ferocity. he -- a person's veracity. he is a joke. >> lou: he is a joke. if he were not before he is today forever more. he was ludicrous. >> it was a comedy routine and kavanaugh played it very, very well. going, the white house, basing everything on a newspaper article that he had read about stuff that was in brett kavanaugh's yearbook. so, it was a really, really two-part day. i had to say i thought the morning was very, very bad for republicans. i could not figure out the questioning of rachel mitchell. >> lou: five-minute alternates. >> lou: that didn't work for her. and she dwelled on the little stuff. >> obviously republicans resent how the democrats handle this and they want to see who told you to get this polygraph? did you

graham: we watch it with interest.mpact it has on places like china and india and the other issues going on are the biggest impacts. haidi: great to have you with us on daybreak asia. that was graham kerr. he is joining us from melbourne at the money and resources conference. shery: coming up, we dig deeper on sustainability and the future of mining with the international counseling on mining and metals. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> welcome back. asian stocks fall for a fifth consecutive session. let's see how the other markets are doing. this is sophie. >> we are seeing weakness from in sydney.arkets this is coming off a session low and heading south after the release we saw on monday. the aussie dollar is as it off the 42 month low we saw overnight. this is ahead of data that is due out. we were expecting the first rise in three months for that data set. we are checking in on the asset to hundred -- afs 200. this is the wednesday will call for the sector. that will kick off. when it comes to leaders, holdings are getting

s his tainted your country and tainted himself i heard it so clearly kimberly lindsey graham knows how to work an audience and he did it on fox news so he knows donald trump's going to see that and he will react to that i don't think he's reacted to it yet on twitter but he presumably will react to it sometime in the next hour or so. it's unclear whether or not the president has seen that interview but he has reacted in the last hour on twitter given the fact that the spotlight on the white house the relationship between the trumpet ministration for example the crown prince and cushion of the crown prince one notably saying he had his pocket at one point something widely reported the u.s. president donald trump is tweeted for the record i have no financial interest in saudi arabia or russia for that matter any suggestion i have is just more fake news we should put this into context for our viewers. has had some interest in saudi arabia that didn't just start when he was president was trying to maintain arms sales to prevent it from going that business us business going to russia or chi

lindsey graham, congressman gohmert, i will start with you if i may. senator graham, i'm almost speechless because i am not a person who is easily impressed by rhetoric. this man impressed. he, i suspect, reminded the republican members of the u.s. senate of their consciences. >> yeah. lindsey and i have had a lot of disagreements but i tell you what. lindsey reached down into his soul and he was righteous and he was right and he was defensive of a process. lou, i was having dinner today, we had a late dinner with a former president of the czech republic. and he said he had seen some of the hearings and things that were going on here. he said, "we always look to america as that light on the hill. we didn't always agree but we knew you were trying to do what was right and be fair. we're not seeing the light so much." i'm telling you, lindsey got light in him today. he was righteous. >> i'm sorry, congressman. >> go ahead. >> lou: this business they started with. well, first of all, it's not all light in the senate judiciary committee. >> no, it wasn't.

graham. graham. on sorry buried on very emotional about it. i was watching the whole thing and everyone is entitled to their opinion, and his opinion just holds so much weight. and it affects my life and our lives every day, and to know that he feels that way and he won't even give it a chance to kind of go through a process, the same process that he says that he wants, that he respects about the constitution. [applause] it's pretty disappointing. host: because this is washington dc, october 2018 and this is a senator at the center of this discussion. one of the big themes senator graham has been an exponent of his who the actual victim in whethercess has been, it is white men who are the victims or other people. what is your reaction? see, orhe victim i the victims i see are the alleged victim. we agrees of whether who perpetrated this, i think we all agree it happened to her. so she is very brave, dr. ford, to go up in front of the country and speak about it read i think she is a victim. there is no upside to what she is doing that is enough

all right pretty direct comments there from lindsey graham u.s. republican senator not not pulling his punches there as we just heard and he interesting lee enough is a senator who has been very close to to president trump politically what do you make of that couple of interesting points now the the question will his death i'm sorry to say has become the high sugar deal both in finance and politics into dimensions one detour have you two lives discussing the to improve the relations with the white house and they are getting what they want at the same time with the wind when the more you listen to senator lindsey graham and others for representing mainstream politics within the republican party i sense that this is an investment in our own drum platform toward the elections in november mitten returned and also in two thousand and twenty because lindsey graham is one of the strong candidates who would like to be taken seriously so there are several corners or several players who are betting on how to money relate and how to capitalize on her sugar i

today on talk to al-jazeera a conversation with dr richard graham as a car interest who treats people addicted to online games. graham thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera can you start by describing what happens inside the brain the kind of mental chemical process that goes on when you are immersed in a video game what happens when we're immersed in a video game is that the brain starts to activate the sort of exciting reward systems neurological pathways that are associated with excitement impressionable activities and of course it makes us want to keep doing that more more and so game designers and perhaps social media platforms have learned how to activate those systems to keep us in an on screen for as long as possible and obviously all cases

connorv -- graham v. was stating that it is the actual standard that should be applied, objective reasonableness. has reallyonnor shaped the way that police departments have framed the way that their use of force policies read, have framed the way that people are trained around use of force. some of the things that graham v. connor synthesized was this is not about looking at 20/20 hindsight in the situation, that this is what a reasonable officer would have done in the circumstance. since that decision interpreting tennessee v. garner, the ideas about graham v. connor, when you think about the awareness of supreme court precedent, you can think about the miranda decision. people have to give the miranda rights. everyone is aware of that. but i would say as a close second, even if they are not thinking this is about graham v. connor, in the way that police reports are written and people are being trained in police training of the use of force and when that use of force is justified is really heavily shape

what was senator graham's answer?wish i was on that golfing trip. >>> and a democrat, a 29-year-old woman still paying off her college loans is leading her race in a congressional district won by donald trump. what is going on here? >> i would say -- whooo! want to take your next vacation to new heights? tripadvisor now lets you book over a hundred thousand tours, attractions, and experiences in destinations around the world! like new york! from bike tours, to bus tours, to breathtaking adventures, tripadvisor makes it easy to find and book amazing things to do. so you can make your next trip... monumental! read reviews check hotel prices book things to do tripadvisor the meeting of the executive finance committee is now in session. and... adjourned. business loans for eligible card members up to fifty thousand dollars, decided in as little as 60 seconds. the powerful backing of american express. don't do business without it. >>> president trump asked republican senator lindsey graham if he'd want to serve as attorney

than lindsey graham is. do they like each other on the merits? perhaps. there's a transactional aspect of this relationship too. >> after lindsey graham was fired up as he was during those confirmation hearings. >>> as kavanaugh joins the court, republican senator susan collins is being pressed on why she trusted kavanaugh of his accuser in casting her deciding vote. take a listen to that. >> i do not believe that brett ca kavanaugh was her assailant. i do believe she was assaulted. i don't know by whom. i'm not certain when. i do not believe that he was the -- >> all right. i want to bring in betsy woodrougwoo woodroof. all three guests are msnbc contributors. welcome. a winning week for the president's base. they claim the voters are energized by all of this. we're hearing the term kavanaugh effect. how do they sustain it? what are we going to see in the messaging? >> that's a good question. the big issue is trying to assess whether the fall out will be either a durable, lasting, burst of energy or just a

lindsey graham said i'm not tired of winning. victory!like something that you would post after winning a football game. this is john cornyn, talking about bubbly for brett. again, i don't know that either of those two can compete with sarah huckabee sanders who talked about the supreme court being under president donald trump. submitting a tremendous legacy for the president. of course, talking about liberals and conservatives. because at the end of the day everything, bob costa, of surs is about donald trump in the eyes of sarah huckabee sanders and donald trump. it's not about the court or about the country. with that said, you know, we have spent probably five or ten times where we talked about the president's worst week ever. i would argue last week was probably the president's best week since being in the oval office. winning a very tough supreme court fight. unemployment at 3.7%. renaming nafta. getting anti-china provisions inside there was. launching sort of a holistic attempt to counter the rising influence of china over the past

talking as lindsay graham, that was the old lindsay graham a little bit, maybe, and i said to him, i was sort of surprised by it, and i said we are sitting at 1,000 people, and it's not off the record, but i said you know you are on the record, and he said save the tape. he will be held to that if this situation arises. that was an interesting moment. >> it was. the papers are up in the senate right now in a vault and senators will begin examining them at 8:00. we heard from a number of people on both sides and i don't know how many minds will be changed by what is in here. it seems republicans are not going to ask questions about whether kavanaugh was honest during the hearing or not, they just want rock solid proof. they want an admission from brett kavanaugh that will never happen that he assaulted professor ford, and he says it didn't happen. >> i will tell you we had senator flake at the festival the day before, and he, as you well know, is somewhat tortured by all of this, tortured by the tribalism in politics, and the impression i got from senator flake is he still will vote f

i'll hear from former senator bob graham who says the u.s. has p placated saudi arabia for nearly 20 years. then we'll hear from a professor who has contact with bin salman. and a journey from school teacher to prominent civil rights activist. plus actor paul dano tries his hand at directing to great reviews. we hear from him and his lead actress carrie mulligan in the film wildlife. >>> welcome to the program, everyone. i'm christiane ammanpour in london. the kingdom faces intense diplomatic pressure to explain the whereabouts of the missing journalist jamal khashoggi amid reports of his possible murder, the saudi kingdom continues to strongly deny any wrongdoing. without, though, providing any evidence or credible information about what happened after he entered the consulate in turkey. turkish investigators have now entered that consulate. it's the last place khashoggi was seen. meantime, the saudi crown prince mo ham mad bin salman is facing a direct backlash as an array of leaders and business partners pull out of his economic summit. th

we are here with senator lindsey graham. those people and many said i wasn't at the party and don't have reckless. >> we told that to the committee. the senators would like to double-check. ms. ramirez has refused to talk to us. her allegations wouldn't be printed by the new york times for a good reason. we'll vote this coming week. the fbi supplemental investigation should be done early this week. we'll have a final passage vote later in the week. i'm highly confident he'll be conif confirmed. he's a good man. he's the best choice president trump could have made. i'll tell you what will happen next if you will allow. >> please. >> okay, this is what's going to happen. i'll ask senator grassily about how this hearing process was hijacked beyond ethical aspects. the slash and burn aspects of it and abuse dr. ford's trust. we'll start with the following concept. dr. ford said at the hearing she didn't know the committee would come to california and take her testimony in a private setting. this is what she said. i just apprecia

>>chris: senator graham, thank you.lways good to talk with you and i'm glad to see you're back in a good mood. is it true, for all of this talk, are you going to play golf with the president today? >> yes. i'm not giving him any strokes. then, hope you win. you're a good man. >>chris: that may be the kiss of death. [laughter] now we want to hear from the other side, democratic senator ben cardin joins us. he voted against brett kavanaugh's confirmation. senator, welcome back to "fox news sunday" and i apologize for him praising you. >> good to be with you and lindsay and i work on many issues together. we certainly disagree on this one. >>chris: let's start with the bottom line. what impact do you think justice kavanaugh will have on the supreme court? how drastically do think he will move it to the right? >> this is justice kennedy's seat and he was a balancing factor. we are very concerned about protecting the progress we've made on healthcare issues. on women's constitutional rights. on protecting the mueller investi

it's seemingly nothing the president can do at this point would not get lindsey graham's defense.ect he would sit there being his lawyer if he makes that proverbial shot at someone on 5th avenue. this has been happening gradually for lindsey graham for some time, but since john mccain's death, he has fully and utterly just become donald trump's defense attorney. >> i would call your attention here to something that you wrote in "the washington post" here. we'll put it up on the screen. this is part of dana millbank's opinion piece. kavanaugh was a frat boy and dke was most notorious frat populated by jocks and known by multikeg bashes. they hosted tang, a speed beer drinking competition, and the keg sock, drinking was a big part of the culture at yale. there was feb club, a rotating party every night in february to get us through winter, green alcohol spiked our punch. we should note here you didn't know kavanaugh at yale, but how does his time at yale, how does his drinking days, why does that matter so much? >> well, craig i don't think it should matter, and that's why i was wri

it would never have been possible without the leadership and courage of julie graham and the graham family. another way of increasing access to nonopioid pain treatments is to encourage the development of new nonopioid pain treatments. i helped introduce two bipartisan bills to achieve that goal. these bills require the f.d.a. to clarify how nonopioid pain treatments can qualify for expedited approval and to clarify how it will assess treatments that reduce the need for opioids. provisions based on both of these two bills are included in this legislation so we can get closer to helping treat pain without the risk of addiction. on another front, as we work to provide health professionals with new treatment options, we must also make sure there are enough health professionals to provide substance abuse disorder treatment in communities that need them. there are far too many areas in my state of indiana and across america that lack access to meaningful addiction treatment and the trained professionals to provide it. earlier this year i worked with senators lisa murkowski and maggie hassan to

(laughs) ah... no, my lips are actually burning. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. see how much you could save at geico.com. it's too hot. oh, this is too hot, mate. >>> president trump reacting to columnist jamal khashoggi was killed in a fistfight. the explanation is with widespread debate on how the u.s. should respond. especially since saudi arabia is a important middle east ally. governor lindsey graham sits on the judiciary committee is joining me right now. senator, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> your reaction to the explanation. >> i don't think it's credible at all. it's ridiculous to believe 18 people would go to turkey to kill mr. khashoggi and nobody in the government know about it. this is abuse of authority. he was murdered

to the point of lindsey graham speaking out, that is critically important because lindsey graham is very lindsey and i met with the crown prince at the crown prince's residence in saudi arabia, along with two other senators and two other house members as he was ascending to this role. he was seen as this emerging western friendly brand of political leadership coming out of the middle east that we could work with. in reality, though, we have seen a continuation of abuse of human rights. we have seen yemen, we have now seen this, what will certainly prove out to be a murder that he had knowledge of. but at the end of the day, donald trump to the director's point has to choose between our relationship with saudi arabia or his relationship and jared's with the crown prince. that's where the tension will arise. the most dangerous thing we saw today, though, was this. an affirmation of the president willing to lie in moments of critical global national security. what he did by simply repeating the crown prince's talking points to the american people suggests that in moments of national securit

lindsey graham included. so big question here, you know, i mean, the arms sales is going to go through. the relationship is going to go through because there's one big black eye here that we're faced with and that is iran. dagen: the muddled response from this administration and the uneven response that we've seen since this all began, we need to be on very firm footing about the message, like lindsey graham said that we send to king salman about who should run the country. >> i want to disagree. i think the administration has been taking a difficult situation. these are people that behaved really badly, like so many of the people we've had to deal with. and they've got this challenge of how do you negotiate making them pay for it, making them feefess up to it -- dagen: but comparing it to brett kavanaugh was a misstep. maria: shifting gears for fiat chrysler, details on the auto automaker's car parts deal. a spooky box office debut, we've got it here on halloween. stay with us. (guard) what i've witnessed...

even republican senator lindsey graham is joking about.announced on "fox&friends" he is getting a test of his own dna saying he is iranian. here he was. >> come back in a couple of weeks and we'll take a look at who you really are. >> i'll probably be iranian and it would be just terrible. >> great people, bad leaders. >> not everyone was laughing. social media lit up. "both of my parents migrated to the u.s. what's wrong with having a persian ancestry? this comment is really off putting." that was from our senior media writer. that was retweeted 7,000 plus times. this is personal for you. >> yeah, i just thought the comment was extreme lly distasteful. i'm sure of the pirgs community, i know a lot of persians particularly back in california. when i saw this, i thought it was extremely off-putting from senator graham, distasteful. i understand it might have been meant as a joke. i think that's what his office is saying, it was mostly a joke, but it came across as -- >> you weren't laughing? >> i wasn't laughing and i don't think it was rea

the first one are graham crackers. anyone like graham crackers? >> i am sure you have all had a graham cracker. this is name for reverend sylvester graham. he is a real person who was very involved with spirituality and he connected spirituality with food and he thought that if you had a pure life and you ate certain foods, you would be closer to your spiritual ty, closer to god. so he promoted this idea of a diet that was very vegetable based, something that we think about today, as well. fruits, vegetables, whole wheats and encouraged his followers to avoid eating too much meat, milk, eggs, butter, cheese, things like that. but what he did that was so innovative. he created a new way to generate flour. a new kind call graham flower. we still have it today. and he made these biscuits that he would give to his congregation and people that followed him and they were good. they tasted good. they were connected to health. and so a company was born basically from this idea of we need to have a better way of eating food. the kind of graham crackers we

for nearly a decade he admits to crimes dating back to two thousand and nine sometimes detective graham stopped residence in broad daylight and dropped them on the side of the road. that's what happened to gary brown. you know if we don't. in about. age and you don't think about it took my money playing a long time well before you both know. we did hear about stuff like that oh i think a lot of us the feeling that for you they just took the money. hold on little girl . what did you think when he told you that the police stole that money plus our luggage that they were supposed to see. you know believe they were actually police it still is money yes but isn't that who do you think did it then when who they were i thought they left like a possum. and. they were monsters and they were. it was two thousand and nine and brown was driving up this street in west baltimore he had cash in his trunk which he planned to deposit at the bank but before he could get there ran into other plainclothes officers pulled him over. he say could the coffin go so up to the coffin i got all he begins to go thr

the linds graham reflecting the feelings of the base in south carolina and this is a lindsey graham who understood that the republicans rank and file are highly motivated by this and this is part of the culture war and the war in their minds for the soul of america for the next 30 years and not to say that he does not feel this as well, but he is a political creature and like everyone on the hill. and he understood just how motivated people were by this. i think that charlie has an interesting point which is to say that if the republicans win this, some of that rage will dissipate, and rage becomes joy, but thien it dissipates, and th democrats have may have the edge going into november, but right now the republicans are unify and enthusiastic and angry, and think they lindsey graham was channeling that. >> and what do you they the impact of all of this is on susan collins as we count down towards her decision at 3:00? >> well, you know, i mean, i don't know, i only understand this directionally which is to say the following, if a republican doesn't go with kavanaugh right now, and

made up his mind about this we've got a lot of members of congress talk about this but lindsey graham is significant because he does have the ear of donald trump he's a golfing buddy is a confidant he's a friend even it's often been said so lindsey graham being very outspoken on this might have some influence on don trump which is particularly interesting because the other key person all of this in the white house is jarred cushion a donald trump's son in law and advisor who has this grand plan for the middle east and george bush's entire plan as we will often report in the past is entirely based on m.b.'s and on the white house's links to mohamed bin salmon so we have this interesting tug of war perhaps beginning yes you have i mean following on to that apparently there is interesting reports in the u.s. media about what's actually going on within the trumpet ministration over what is a hugely divisive issue well across the world and certainly nation life there. right well it's one of those articles of the new york times does come up with quite often within from within the trumpet ad

leland: right after the interview and graham had a golf day. secretary pompeo wraps up a fourth date with kim jong un. closer to dismantling the weapons program. a search in indonesia for thousands missing after the massive tsunami. after hurricane florence brand-new tropicals dorm building in the gulf of mexico. adam klotz tracking it all. hi, adam. >> gulf of mexico this morning was a tropical depression. a tropical sir michael will move through the gold. a hurricane by the time it makes landfall. i will be tracking that coming up in my full forecast after the break. >> tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about? well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. these friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. so they scheduled at safelite.com. they didn't have to change their plans or worry about a thing. i'll see you all in a little bit. and i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> tech: being t

senator graham, putting aside the senate for a minute.ack in your past you were a house member. much harder read on the house. it seems like with all the retirements. 45. history not working with us. the house is more of an uphill climb. your thoughts on the house? >> well, i just left california. we got 14 republicans and the party chairman. there is a post-kavanaugh bond. if you are a republican and you are not energized by kavanaugh and the caravan you are probablily legally dead. our people have every reason to vote. kavanaugh reminded us what they would do with power. the caravan reminds us of how weakness invites aggression. this caravan needs to be stopped and president trump will stop temperature -- it. the better we do in the senate the better we do in the house. >> sean: seats in california, i identified 6 on website. they are very important seats. as it your senator. we wish you the best. the key to a great night on election night will be watching you hopefully get reelected in nevada. when we come back, the video of the day. a

graham goes on saudi arabia if you're listening m.b.'s is tainted your country can really help it following what's going on for us out of washington kimberly difficult to imagine stronger words from the likes of lindsey graham and also a very influential very listened to individual there in washington. absolutely and these are aqualung some of the comments that lindsey graham has been making in recent days not only was he one of the first republican senators to come out and say that this is a tipping point in the u.s. saudi relationship but also that it should have consequences at the highest level and so certainly lindsey graham echoing the feeling not just of republican senators we should note that is the president's party political party but also democratic senators in fact there seems to be a growing groundswell within congress to push back into restraint the u.s. saudi relationship in a very biting opinion piece in the washington post a democratic senator chris murphy from connecticut saying that the list of actions by the crown pri

lindsey graham is right about this. we know from talking to collins aide, she has taken this vote very seriously. she's been going back through not just the fbi report over the last two days but kavanaugh's previous judicial decision. she's been very dialed in. she's been the single most targeted by protesters up here. remembered she was thought to be a swing vote on the tax bill. the other giant controversial piece of legislation up here and felt like she was someone whose ear they could climb into on this last vote. i don't know if that protest was as effective on susan collins as folks would have liked. she's been under enormous pressure here. >> let me ask you about why you don't think that protest was as effective as they would have liked. i guess a few weeks ago now, it feels like a long time ago, when she was getting threatened with somebody running against her if she voted yes on this nominee. she said something of feeling like she was being blackmailed. does the anger on the other side, is she seeing it as not

and he's allowing -- nothing will define him, no one thing defines lindsey graham, but he's taking a lead on this, in a surprising way. >> he has, and i don't know what happened to the lindsey graham that i knew, because he hasn't been showing up lately, and, you know, maybe all these years, it was kind of a john mccain restraining order on lindsey graham and it's been unleashed and it's really, you know, it's surprising. it's not going to allow him to play that kind of independent role that he has played. >> it is possible the courts are this just nuclear holocaust of anger between both sides? >> yeah. >> where schumer and lindsey can agree on 70% of things in the senate, but on judicial nominations, it is, i'm pressing my nuclear button, no, i'm pressing mine? >> well, i think there's a couple things going on here. someone once told me, which has really stuck with me, that he can read the political winds better than anymore anyone. he does have a re-election coming up in a couple of years. >> 2020, he's up. >> and also, in addition to that, he also knows how to try to get what he w

lindsey graham was apparently trying to say that this has been done before. meaning the tactic of defending a man accused of bad behavior by attacking the woman he is saying it's not new. trashing women, mocking their claims was wrong then. and it's wrong now. but for this crowd, it always goes back to the clintons. judge kavanaugh went back to the clinton well himself last week with his testimony. remember he worked with ken starr back in the clinton days. >> this whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit fueled with an apparent pent up anger about president trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside left wing opposition groups. >> he wants to be a justice. there was no evidence for that claim of revenge on behalf of the clintons, are no evidence. but brett kavanaugh, lind a graham, they are both savvy enough to know that nothing pleases the president and the base more than a good old attack on the c

senator graham, putting aside the senate for a minute. back in your past you were a house member. much harder read on the house. it seems like with all the retirements. 45. history not working with us. the house is more of an uphill climb. your thoughts on the house? >> well, i just left california. we got 14 republicans and the party chairman. there is a post-kavanaugh bond. if you are a republican and you are not energized by kavanaugh and the caravan you are probablily legally dead. our people have every reason to vote. kavanaugh reminded us what they would do with power. the caravan reminds us of how weakness invites aggression. this caravan needs to be stopped and president trump will stop temperature -- it. the better we do in the senate the better we do in the house. >> sean: seats in california, i identified 6 on website. they are very important seats. as it your senator. we wish you the best. the key to a great night on election night will be watching you hopefully get reelected in nevada. when we come back, the video of the day.

criticisms that we are hearing from congress, and serious concerns raised from people like lindsey graham and what can you tell us? >> yes, that is right, chris. and jonathan who was in the room yesterday can elaborate on this as the president made the comparison of the way we were viewing the situation with khashoggi in saudi arabia with brett kavanaugh with here you go again with this idea that you are guilty until proven innocent. and we did hear the president saying about the situation that we of course need saudi arabia here for a variety of reasons in his eyes, and one as it relates to a new deal with iran, and in effect right now trying to crack down on iran, and one of the regional adversaries of the saudi, and the adversary of the united states, but separately, what is significant from the comments here is the fact that he is sort is of holding out. he is going to wait for the end of the week and see what happens, and get more details. he would not say whether they had audio or beyond that and if the fbi is involved and he keeps talking about the $110 billion de deal, and a fact

he and jared are not listening to lindsey graham so lindsey graham is going on the fox audience to say this is a bad guy and he's embarrassed me and the president for sticking up for them all this time and he has to go. that's very bold. it shows he's desperate to break through. but they're going to have to follow up in congress. i was heartened to see senator young of indiana who i have never seen come on tv since he was elected in 2016 come out last night and say sanctions should be on the table. mnuchin cannot go to the conference. and we have to consider canceling the weapons deal. >> in terms of political leadership, when you've got ceos across the board, whether it's goldman sachs, jpmorgan, roth child, viacom, not going to what saudi arabia likes to call the davos of the middle east and mnuchin is still going? >> yes, that's right. >> are the people steering our moral leadership corporate ceos, bankers nonetheless? >> well, good for them. they deserve credit for that. but it's not a substitute for the united states government taking a stand. and there are easy steps here. we sho

i believe there is a lot going on here, and perhaps nikki haley is looking at a seat if lindsey graham is attorney general and she wanted to get out before the mid-term turnover, and i believe there is at least a turnover in the house, and lot of speculation of what is going on in the u.n. office whether she is pulled forward for any kind of oinvestigation or hearings. she has also been at odds with t the administration, and in a careful way on many issues like human rights, like on sexual violence and that is going to become more difficult in the days ahead. and the last point that i would make is on ivanka and jared, and we will see if the president has ivanka in mind for ambassador. >> what an interesting appointment that would be, and jared kushner being praised and he has done a lot of things importantly, and some not so importantly in the administration, but to praise him for a middle east peace plan that is yet to be realized is quite over the top i would think that in her comments in the oval offi office. josh letterman, you have been covering the foreign policy to closely, and

lindsey lindsey graham thing i thought was kind of interesting because. the the american intelligence community had other candidates and i think that lindsey you know i think tucker carlson to the new and improved to lindsey graham these would be the cabinet and hearings but now lindsey is back with his neo con ideas and i think that is it's not because of the tragedy in in this case i'm going to lose because something clumsy exists that they're embarrassed by by now their relationship with saudi arabia and that's what's bothering them more than the death of. i think they would be happy to see. and replaced with mohamed bin i-f. the former crown prince who was the kind of the cia's man in saudi arabia have been openly said that he wanted he wanted to go well you know john and the boys had to do it you know we're going to do the man's name here but i think that if saudi or if the king sticks by his guns and refuses to remove his son then they will quietly be paypal that it papered over i don't expect u.s. support in yemen to decrease i don't expect the u.s

are you talking about a second he has been my friend for lindse graham. i have say that i think judge kavana be accept and on, but we have to see what the they will come back with a if you can be an exemplary and the three witnesses at this my whole life i heard you are now you are guilty until proven innoce that is a very, very difficult standa >> it's a very scary time for this i a very, very difficult time. what's happening here has much justic it really does. you can be somebody that was someth but somebody could accuse you of someth and you are in realm, you are truly that's of the very, very bad things taking place right now. say it? there not a message now, but you may have a message. you are going to see. he's an outstanding person. he's an outstanding man and for family i think he has been very brutal treated. i have been speaking to people. we are going to talk later. i don' to interrupt what's happen i don' to do anything to i drink and i never had a drink. i don't drink beer. i never had a beer. i'm not saying good or bad. some like it, i just

mr graham i think it's i mean i think i think you have rand paul you know here i think you have much more fun and that's authoritative it was a big moment for me here at lindsey graham say that he wants the same question the hell out of saudi arabia i was like why not the old car versus what have the game. i mean let me go all decided to go by almost freidman a ball there are some arab spring please don't. do that because i mean there's no this is this is political political but go ahead so much freedom was one old but i have followed in halls where you dearest reformist ideas coming from the lead over an arab state so he couldn't stand it for more than twelve dollars you know. and so will have been solid he he said let me let me just called it again you should be a. for to cross these prints but you should be a fool not to root for him or did for him because as you wrote down we humans would be driving us women would be driving and he would be killing and this is exactly what almost friedman was a routine for in his article in the house which is his future he's wounded which was goi

i will read you what the graham has said. —— lindsey graham.ident trump also said in that brief interview was that he wa nts that brief interview was that he wants congress to be involved in all of this. that does suggest he is trying to move it away from the white house that he does want senators and congress people to get involved in the about what should happen next and they have already launched an investigation. but that investigation could lead to sanctions and you heard the president, he wants to try to stop anything that could jeopardise lucrative arms sales and indeed sales of other things that he says and outs to hundreds of billions of dollars from the us. —— and outs. —— amounts. simply said it was a horrible event that has not got unnoticed. many in washington will be asking around the world exactly what action will he ta ke world exactly what action will he take then? let's get some of the day's other news. at least 60 people have died and more than 200 have been injured in northern india, when a commuter train ploughed into them

lindsey graham still firing back at people. >> don't mess with lindsey graham, listen to how he fired his support of brett kavanaugh. >> i am the first person to say i want to hear from doctor ford. i thought she was handled respectfully. i thought brett cavanagh was treated like crap. blue your self. jillian: you will hear that a lot today. he has become a hero among people who support brett cavanagh. look at these tweets, thank you for standing up for us, good job, mister graham, i am with you with lindsey graham, tell them like it is, you are my hero. he is angering some people but winning a lot of support as well. rob: he quoted james carville and people said it was his quote. i cannot believe how ridiculous. >> he clarified it was something james carville said. >> also a little bit ridiculous. teresa made needs to stop dancing. >> usually not a good idea when a politician stands in public and teresa may, you can imagine, take a look. ♪ a little bit of back story. she actually chose the song when she decided to dance as a way to make fun of herself for the video we played in afric
