because then you would have seen the anger that lindsay graham unleashed. >> i think the way the formatent for them and this is what the president and a lot of his aides were upset about, the five-minute chunks of time where she would start asking questions and then she would stop, so when she got to build a line of questioning, she was redirected. brett kavanaugh came in and saved it for himself in the minds of the white house. the white house is feeling good, they are feeling confident but not completely over the top. they are certain they don't know they don't completely have the votes yet, and as of now they don't and they felt like this was all wrapped up and then the allegation came out a couple weeks ago. they are not counting their chickens yet. and yesterday people were talking about the audience of one, and i heard this from a lot of sources and people. it's true this was an audience of one in terms of not having the predicate bait in brett kavanaugh, and there's still an audience of senators, right? there's still the senate math. this is not just about does president trump li

she should be heard, but i talked to senator lindsay graham

>>chris: senator lindsay graham, thank you.ank you for your time during a tough week in our deepest sympathies on the loss of a dear friend. joining me now from illinois, another member of the committee that will be questioning brett kavanaugh, dick durbin. the number two democrat. democrats have tried a variety of efforts to upended the confirmation of brett kavanaugh but the argument that there's a midterm and that president trump is under investigation. he wants to see millions of pages of documents from when he was secretary for president george w. bush. the white house has now invoked executive privilege to withhold 100,000 pages from one brett kavanaugh worked for the white house counsel. i think it's fair to say that none of that has worked. the question is why is it that democrats have so far been unable to gain any traction against judge brett kavanaugh and the public debate? you don't seem to bless. [indiscernible] >> let me just at the outset before we get into that. i joined with lindsay graham, every word he said a

republican lindsay graham and democrat dick durbin. plus, trade talks with canada take a tense turn. >> i think canada very much wants to make the deal and i think will be on a very good for canada if they do and not good at all if they don't. >>chris: on this labor day weekend, we will discuss what a new master means for america's workers. with the head of the country's largest group of unions, afl-cio president richard trumka. only on "fox news sunday". then the >> twitter and facebook are really treading on troubled territory. >>chris: we will ask our panel of white house talk of regulating google. for what it claims is political bias in its search service. and our "power player of the week". country music legend dolly parton on giving books to billions of children.

that's when lindsay graham came roaring back for the defense to get rid of the prosecutor there. i think that question continues because of the aba overnight, alisyn. i think you will hear when the judiciary committee meets today for the scheduled committee vote, i think you are going to hear a lot of conversation from the democrats about the need for an investigation again because the aba is calling for it. >> do you have any sense as to why -- the easiest thing in the world would be, yes, let's do an fbi investigation. >> pick me! i have an answer. >> what? >> he doesn't want an fbi because of what it would find. >> it doesn't sound that dangerous. mark judge, a good friend, who was a sole witness, but he can't remember anything -- >> he says he doesn't recall that, but nobody has asked him and he has not been cross examined on what he does recall. >> his girlfriend that describes -- yeah, there's a lot of information that has not been submitted to the committee. the girlfriend of mark judge is willing to testify about what he told her. we don't know if it's about the calendar.

>> dickerson: scott also spoke with two republicans who are strong supporters, south carolina lindsay graham and louisiana's john kennedy. >> could either of you change your minds depending on what the fbi report comes up with? >> of course. >> open mind? >> absolutely. >> i said going into the heari hearing, i talked to judge kavanaugh, i called him after this happened, the allegation. said, did you do it? he was resolute. determined. >> senator graham? >> my mind is made up about brett kavanaugh and it would take a dynamite accusation, here's the deal. dr. ford, i don't know what happened, but i know this. brett did not -- everybody she named couldn't verify it, it's 36 years old, i don't see anything new changing. >> be sure to tune town "60 minutes" tonight for more of scott's interviews. 7:30 eastern, 7:00 p.m. pacific after football. we are joined by arkansas republican senator tom cotton. welcome, senator. >> after watching the hearings, you are supporter of brett kavanaugh how did you process the new information that came out in the hearing? >> well, john, first off let's understand

it is absolutely fundamentally totally wrong and republicans have got to step up like lindsay graham and call it out for what it is and make sure this person is now sitting on the supreme court. >> sean: senator graham had his finest moment in congress. he gave a great speech today. >> i can't believe we're saying that, but bravo, lindsay graham. >> reporter: amazing. we've got a lot more. i will remind you that 39 days, there's so much at stake. really, this is the party you want in power, after what we're witnessing? we come back ed henry in washington with a live report. the latest on kavanaugh's nomination. also, matt schlapp and much more to report on this busy breaking news friday night. these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the amazing services of the post office only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never

is goes back to, lindsay graham, that was a great part of the speech. we're going to get out there because we're not going to reward this kind of behavior. there will be plenty of people in this country w will react just as angrily. if it looks like you're jamming him through and ignoring the testimony thimorning. >> opened the my republican colleagues, if you vote no,ou are legitimizing the most despicable thing i've seen in my time in politics. that was a message to flake, collins, murkowski, any of those. he was laying down the line that mitchon mll will make the votto them to have tomorrow. >> donald trump's wing man. lindsay graham. >> i want to know at what point did they decide to dump rachel? >> rachel mitchell is with us no longer, apparently. becausee you have kavanaugh c out there and throw away the script. he had a pre-prepared self-incrimination. forget it. i wonder did that inspire graham to say me too? forg rachel, forget this attempt on seem like we're goino e completely measured with respect to each witness and let this guy get punched

it is absolutely fundamentally totally wrong and republicans have got to step up like lindsay graham and call it out for what it is and make sure this person is now sitting on the supreme court. >> sean: senator graham had his finest moment in congress. he gave a great speech today. >> i can't believe we're saying that, but bravo, lindsay graham. >> reporter: amazing. we've got a lot more. i will remind you that 39 days, there's so much at stake. really, this is the party you want in power, after what we're witnessing? we come back ed henry in washington with a live report. the latest on kavanaugh's nomination. also, matt schlapp and much more to report on this busy breaking news friday night. as one of the nation's largest investors in infrastructure, we don't just help power the american dream, we're part of it. this is our era. this is america's energy era. nextera energy. this is america's energy era. if you're waiting patiently for a liver transplant, it could cost you your life. it's time to get out of line with upmc. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don'

it is absolutely, fundamentally, totally wrong and republicans have got to step up like lindsay graham call it out for what it is and make sure this person is now sitting on the supreme court. >> sean: senator graham had his finest moment in congress. he gave a great speech today. >> i can't believe we're saying that, but bravo, lindsay graham. >> sean: amazing. we've got a lot more. i will remind you in 39 days, there's so much at stake. really, this is the party you want in power, after what we're witnessing? we come back ed henry in washington with a live report. the latest on kavanaugh's nomination. also, matt schlapp, pam bondi, and much more to report on this busy breaking news friday night. u plan for, some just...

(vo) check your r

lindsay graham from south carolina also a member of that committee has suggested something. this is similar to what happened with clarence thomas and anita hill. they had closed the hearing and then the allegations about anita hill came forward and they reopened it. were in this gray area. it's often said history doesn't repeat itself, but sure does rhyme. they have to be very careful about how they play this. if they misplayed this, we are in the me too era. democrats can turn this around and use this as a wedge in the midterms. let's look at the detailed timing because the election is hugely critical, particularly when we are now seeing signs that the senate itself once considered to be invulnerable, now maybe. what's the timing, how long can the process go on, cannot be completed before the election? >> certainly before the election year but the math is denying republicans, 49 democrats. if people like jeff flake or other start to peel off, two senators we haven't heard from our lisa murkowski of alaska and susan collins of maine. they probably are really looking at this.

you will go forward and see the testimony -- i think lindsay graham came forward and said what could i possibly do if one person denies it? it's very clear there's a reason they do not want to have anybody forward to bolster dr. ford. >> it's just professor christine blasey ford and kavanaugh scheduled for thursday, this new allegation draws questions into that, because there's somebody who could say whether or not it's true something like this did happen, and there are other reports about allegations about mark judge who the senate republicans have chosen to believe his denial he was in the room. >> as this expands and the other allegation will be included, and the senate's decision not to call other witnesses is problematic and saying they are not interested in a inquiry into the truth. one of the people that dr. ford named said who had been a life long friend said she had no recollection of judge kavanaugh or the party, and that's a significant fact as well. >> yeah, we will talk about that. i think it's significant brett kavanaugh is producing evidence that he thinks is not there

otro senador que fue confrontado fue lynch --lindsay graham republicano, por carolina del sur.que aunque no recordaba la fecha exacta querÍa saber si le creÍa. resulta respuesta de graham fue la siguiente: lo siento mucho. hable con el fbi". carolina: asÍ como que hay algunos que estÁn en contra de que kavanagauh llegue a la corte suprema, tambiÉn tiene algunos a favor. hablamos con uno de ellos en la costa este de la "ediciÓn digital" y le pregunta por los argumentos que la llevan a apoyar al juez. >> bueno, muchas gracias por la invitaciÓn. te puedo decir que es difÍcil decir si pasÓ o no pasó. pero lo que sabemos es que no hay ninguna evidencia que puede comprobar muchos detalles solamente se sabe una parte y lo que encontramos ayer despuÉs de su testimonio y despuÉs a través de las preguntas de la fiscal, es que no hay suficiente evidencia para traer cargos, no hay suficiente evidencia para daÑar la preocupaciÓn de una persona que despuÉs de 12 aÑos ha servido como juez judicial federal ha tenido un rÉcord impecable. y en las Últimas dos semanas del proceso de confirmaciÓn

we touched on this earlier, senator lindsay graham said it was all about midterm politics. an fbi investigation of a 36-year-old allegation without specific references to time or location, before professor ford will appear before the judiciary committee is an un -- >> our correspondent sarah west, she said the senate commissioner, chairman chuck grassley, the chairman of the committee is sending a later to prothe i sorry fofessor ford's to interview her here. they are trying to go to great lengths to be accommodating. it is up to you. but it does not deal with the threshold question of her legal team says no testimony until you have some sort of investigation. >> also they're not willing to budge on the timing either. you notice from chairman grassley's statement said the invitation for monday still stands, so grassley is doing what he can to be as accommodating to the woman as possible, to dr. ford, but not on the timing as of yet. and the midterm politics, the president is right when he says that the supreme court is one of the reasons he got elected. that scalia seat was

senator lindsay graham said this is how you would do it, you would just hear from these two witnesses. that's not always the case, certainly not if you want to get to the truth. we have a second witness, one that wants to go before the economy, the third person that was in the room at the first incident or the first allegation of attempted rape. and they should be forced to make their statements under oath. no in the distance of merely submitting something publicly, but they should be tested under oath. this is what the senate would do, this is what any tribunal would do, if it was interested in getting to the truth. but the interest here on the gop side is just cnot to get the tr but to get confirmation at any cost. we're all pressed to get the answers here. i'm not impressed by the idea of somebody who may have committed attempted rape sitting on the supreme court of the united states. >> if you could weigh in on the succession here, if rosenstein were to leave and the solicitor general presumably could take over the mueller probe, except that he might have a conflict of interest be

i was really struck by an instagram picture she posted the other day of her, lindsay graham and joe lieberman saying i miss you dad, uncles forever. it's so fascinating to see that level of bipartisanship. joe lieberman served as a democrat leader and independent but you don't see -- and i'm -- i'm kind of driven back to the vice president biden's eulogy in arizona. you don't see this level of bipartisanship and decency. it's really an end of an era and looking back to this week's primary race, it's already gotten so ugly and it's truly -- i mean, i would argue that mccain's death is just an end of a time of civility and decency and politics and right now it seems like it's gotten so ugly at this point. >> and reflect on what julia is saying there. will this be forgotten come sunday? this very idea of what john mccain represented snit's been talked about certainly since his passing. how long will this halo be here for? >> i think julia is correct. it's an end of an era and they're using this moment of john mccain to contrast and stark relief in politics today. every time we see in the foresee

i will say a hat tip to lindsay graham. his soliloquy was absolutely perfect.y staff will kill me on this. he also said if the republicans keep the majority and he's the chairman of that committee, i guess he's next in line if chuck grassley wants to step down running that committee, things will be different, i'm paraphrasing here. what did he mean by that? >> i think what he meant is there will be a return to fairness in the seat. i don't fault anyone on the republican side for what they have said and done, but i think what graham is saying is he voted for sotomayor, he voted for kagan, who was not even a judge, and got to the supreme court. and what he's saying is a president has a prerogative, president obama had the prerogative and president trump has the prerogative to pick a nominee. they have picked an absolutely stellar nominee. you get these last-minute kinds of attacks and in the old world they used to call this a political roar-back. that's when you throw out an accusation that's uncorroborated in the 11th hour and you hope it will stick. unfortunate

. >> reporter: -- sarah sanders tweeted, "lindsay graham has more decency and courage than every democrater of the committee combined. god bless him." this morning, all eyes were on christine blasey ford. capitol hill glued to her emotional and raw testimony. even republicans calling her credible. the president watched as he flew back from new york aboard air force one. and he was asked about it when he returned to the white house. >> are you considering a new nominee? >> do you believe her? >> reporter: inside the west wing, aides worried it wasn't looking good for kavanaugh. an assessment also made on the president's favorite news channel. >> in the middle of the afternoon, it's a disaster for the white house. >> reporter: during a break in the hearing, democrats stepped up their demands for an fbi investigation. >> the fbi must investigate and the refusal to do so is tantamount to a coverup. >> reporter: and while republicans worried about ford's testimony, senator lindsey graham said he remained unconvinced. >> a nice lady who has come forward to tell us a hard story that's uncorrobor

on the other side, republican senator lindsay graham made it clear that he will be backing judge kavanaugh'smore compelling defence of one's honour and integrity. then i did for brett kavanaugh. he looked me in the eye and he was mad and he should have been mad. he could tell you where he was at and what he was doing during high school in a way thatjust blew me away. brett kavanaugh and women. if you are a gang

in moments senate judiciary committee member lindsay graham. first, ed henry ins jo us from the north lawn of the white house with late breaking developments. >> breaking tonight, this senate hearing next monday is very much up in the air. judge brett kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court hanging in the balance. since his female accuser has not yet confirmed that she will appear before the senate. and his male friend, who may be the only eyewitness, who says this never happened, has already told the senate he's not going to appear. kavanaugh spent his second straight day right near, prepping for sworn testimony, where he will deny there was a sexual assault. practicing here at the white house where president trump said his nominee and his family simply do not deserve these attacks. kavanaugh's friend said again today, he has no mem rift alleged incident, but has rsvp'd no to the senate, he does not want to speak publicly, other than saying i never saw brett act in the manner dr. ford describes. her attorney today revealed they claim this

on the other side, republican senator lindsay graham made it clear that he will be backing judge kavanaugh'sation. i have never heard a more compelling defence of one‘s honour and integrity. then i did for brett kavanaugh. he looked me in the eye and he was mad and he should have been mad. he could tell you where he was at and what he was doing during high school in a way thatjust blew me away. brett kavanaugh and women. if you are a gang rapists when you area if you are a gang rapists when you are a sophomore and a junior in high school, you do not let it go. every woman who actually knows brett kavanaugh woman who actually knows brett kava naugh has woman who actually knows brett kavanaugh has come forward to say he is not that kind of guy. he has been at the highest level of public service under tremendous scrutiny six fbi investigations and we missed the sophomore, junior, gang rapist. we did not rape is —— we did not miss it. it is a bunch of garbage. we can now bring you live pictures of where the vote is due to take place anytime now. the tension is building. it is a hugely significan

her, and another thing that may make her more afraid to go before the committee, is people like lindsay graham talking dismissively about her, and at one point one of his questions would be who paid for her lawyer and who paid for the lie detector test as if she is some sort of democratic plot as if she could not afford her own counsel. you heard somebody say that she may not want to testify is telling. grassley also said she sounds mixed up. even though grassley is giving the appearance that he is being accommodating saying he wants to make her comfortable, it's easy to see that the gop senators are more prone to believing him than her, and they want to set up the he said-she said and take his word. >> she has 24 hours. the deadline is 10:00 a.m. tomorrow for her to decide if she wants to do this, and then if she does not, it sounds like the monday hearing is canceled for brett kavanaugh as well, and it sounds like that's the direction that chuck grassley would lean in, and then they go to a vote. so they would by definition be voting without all the information. >> right, that appears to be

and i think the expense lindsay graham, the defense of him. there is a lot of criticism as dr. ford's testimony was unfolding this morning. we saw him defend himself. i think it has hardened the relve of tho expecting to support judge kavanaugh. the question will be, and he was walking through the intricacies of what happened with the committee. that makes the central player here itthe n probably 12 hours. this committee vote is scheduled for 9:. could potentially put the brakes on it because the committee is 11 republicans and ten democrats. so a eyes are on him. they've been paying very close attention. if they do get this out of committee, favorable or not nargs way that doesn't allow it to be filibustered on the floor. there is one scenario to allow that there has been a plan to push it if you have speed ahead to the senate floor. it is ranked number one. in college, two things. a, i studied. i was in cross campus library every night. and b, i played baskethall for junior varsity. i tried out for the varsity. the first day i arrived on campus we had captains rkouts. played

but i want to quote one of my colleagues, senator lindsay graham in a book that he wrote in 2015 when he was describing his own service and very distinguished naval service as a traveler. i'm not under oath. he said, quote, of his prosecutions of rape cases, i learned how much unexpected courage from a deep and hidden place it takes for a rape victim or sexually abused child to testify against their assailant. i learned how much courage from a deep and hidden place it takes for a rape victim or sexually abused child to testify against their assailant. if we agree on nothing else today, i hope on a bipartisan basis, we can agree on how much courage it has taken for you to come forward and i think you have earned america's gratitude. >> thank you. >> now there's been some talk about your requesting an fbi investigation. and you mentioned a point just a few minutes ago, that you could better estimate the time that you ran into mark judge if you knew the time that he was working at that supermarket. that's a fact that could be uncovered by an fbi investigation that would help further eluc

lindsay graham is a republican from south carolina, welcome. do you feel the president and the feds are giving you everything they can? >> he called at 5:00 and said do you have everything you need? anything we are not doing for south carolina he would like me to do? he told tim scott and the governor, i'm pleased with the trump administration's response to the impending hurricane. what i'm worried about his people being responsible for themselves. the government can only do so much. if you don't leave in the next 24 hours you are going to get caught with no power. if you get hurt no one will help you so leave the areas in question. i worried people misunderstand what is about to happen. hugo. estate away, strong winds. matthew a couple years ago soaked the state. this is a 1-two punch. you are going to have torrential rain and category 3 winds and it could stay around for a couple days. there is no place in south carolina or north carolina for water to go. we are waterlogged. i'm worried about flooding and wind damage and if you don't leave no

what the democrats did - lindsay graham brought it out perfectly when he said dianne feinstein had this for 20 days and you are sitting there, judge kavanaugh, interviewing you and guess what? she is setting you up at the same time. doctor ford had a lawyer that was recommended by senator feinstein and you look at the whole thing and when i see spartacus asking the type of questions he's asking on the committee i am outraged that they went after judge kavanaugh without any degree of respect or decorum. this was designed to delay and to destroy this man's character, his name and actually, lindsey graham was right. i've said this before but this is a war. they view this as a war. we view this as a process. lou: there is any confusion in your conference about what you have done by permitting paul ryan to remain a speaker, what you have done in the senate by permitting chuck grassley to manage that like a - i don't know, society it is, i would hope, been a revelatory day. the terrible thing it seems to me and all of this is the family of judge kavanaugh, along with the judge himself. he's b

south carolina republican senator lindsay graham sits on the senate judiciary committee and he does plan to be at the hearing this week. here is what he said earlier today on "fox news sunday". >> i'm going to look at this from a prism of being reasonable and fair to judge kavanaugh. everything i know about judge kavanaugh goes against this allegation. i want to listen to dr. ford. i feel sorry for her. i think she's being used here. i will do the following: listen to dr. ford, compare that to everything in the record, and make a decision. eric: what can we expect? garrett tenney live in our washington newsroom. what details still need to be worked out according to the dr. ford's lawyers letter that they still need to negotiate >> the agreement is for her to testify along with judge kavanaugh on thursday and what's still being worked out is the format of that hearing. importantly who will be asking the questions. now, will this be outside attorneys which is something the committee has been asking for or will it be the senators themselves which dr. ford's legal team has been asking for. w

. >> lindsay graham the other day was saying that the president should fire him, and i think a few otherst and said as well, hey, listen, it's a foregone conclusion. >> there's a few things to take note of here. first of all, he went back to his confirmation hearing, which was the reason why he ended up recusing himself. so it's interesting that he's going back to see what testimony he offered then, so that they be something that's going on in the legal team. >> do you think that the president may have rewatched it? >> you're right, there's no filter. but the other thing is i think jeff sessions is going to have an opportunity to rewrite his history a little bit and he may be the one who says i stayed, i dealt with this president, but i stayed because i wanted to protect the mueller investigation. that's the only way -- i'm not saying it's true. listen, from a certain perspective, he's done everything the president wanted. he did that horrible policy separating children from their parents. he is not making any -- doing anything to help criminal justice reform. so he's doing the president'

want to make a quick note here, that during trish's show, lindsay graham, the gop senator, said couple of things, that it is very hard to decide because even after brett kavanaugh speaks, where did this happen, when did this happen, how did christine blasey ford get home that night and he also said god help anyone else who is nominated for supreme court, but we should mention president trump did get neil gorsuch through to the supreme court without too much drama. certainly there was pushback from democrats but let's break it down as we await brett kavanaugh, moments away, with five minutes past the hour, former aide to senator chuck schumer, chris hahn and former gop senator george allen, who voted governor allen, on the appointments of supreme court chief justice john roberts and justice samuel alito. i suppose the first question really is what are your initial impressions of what you have seen so far and how it compares to your experiences back when you were a senator for the state of virginia? >> well, first of all, i think dr. ford came across as sympathetic and believes what she

you saw lindsay graham talk about i will listen to the lady but we are going to go ahead. looking like you are trying to rush the process, i think, comes with risks. i also understand people who argue that if mrs. ford makes an allegation and has not come forward to back it up that does cause damage to somebody's representation, and i think that for a very long time part of what has happened to the me too movement realigned the balance of power to some extent. we will see just how much, i think, with this case. >> what is the feeling inside the white house with this unexpected pothole they have hit on the what -- what was the fast track to the nomination? >> the same feeling they have had for several days. they are frustrated by it and the frustration has grown since the account emerged, and when the letter emerged they knew there would be more to come so they have been expecting it and not really surprised. the president has been pretty measured in his response, you know. we often talk about how he doesn't take advice and on this instance he is and he is not attacking mrs

she should be heard, but i talked to senator lindsay graham and he said that that can be done tomorrow so that we can proceed forward. >> >> reporter: andreandrea, as yow the calls on capitol hill are growing louder do delay the confirmation that was initially going forward. jeff flake says he needs to know more. senator susan collins says she certainly wants to know more about all of this, murkowski among others saying there are a lot of questions that need to be answered and they want to hear from dr. ford. right now, chuck grassley, the chairman of the judiciary committee, is trying to arrange follow-up phone calls with kavanagh and with dr. ford. but that's not enough for a lot of democrats, they say they want an fbi investigation and they want to hear from kavanagh. >> and we have more information from susan collins to susan page. susan collins has now tweeted that professor ford and judge kavanagh should both testify under oath before the judiciary committee. a phone conversation, something not under oath, something not in person is not enough that could jeopardize the thursday s

. >> let's play lindsay graham, because it did change the tone of it. let's listen. >> if you wanted an fbi investigation, you could have come to us! what you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open, and hope you win in 2020. you said that, not me. you've got nothing to apologize for. when you see sotomayor and kagan, tell them that lindsey said hello, because i voted for them. i would never do to them what you've done to this guy. this is the most unethical sham since i've been in politics. and if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you did to this guy. >> kirsten? >> i just want to say if a woman had done that or done what we saw today with kavanaugh, people would be saying that women are too emotional to be in leadership. >> if judge kavanaugh was as angry in her -- excuse me, if -- >> it is astonishing to watch these temper tantrums, and then what we're supposed to take this seriously. but i want to get back to what you were saying what the democrats are doing. the problem with the way you

as lindsay graham himself has said, it is in president trump's best interest to have this investigationrough to completion. i think it may uncover more deeply concerning materials or facts about the possibility of collusion between russia and the trump campaign. others in the senate believe it will clear president trump. either way, it is the only way the american people can have confidence that this investigation was done thoroughly and completely. >> let's talk about brett kavanaugh and thursday. there's another allegation that has come out against kavanaugh. this one reveals in -- revealed in the new yorker. in her initial conversations with the new yorker she was reluctant to characterize the role in the alleged incident with certainty. after six days of carefully addressing her memories and consulting with her attorney, ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections. i think most of our viewers know the story of what she's claiming by now. kavanaugh has denied it. do you believe her? >> i believe both dr. ford and deborah ramirez and i think it's important that th

on the post report, lindsay graham said this about the two men. >> this relationship is beyond repair, i think. the president has lost confidence in jeff sessions. >> and then politico posted the story saying trump was personally lobbying republican senators to pull their support for sessions as the nation's chief law enforcement officer and yesterday, bloomberg reported that trump had declared the attorney general safe at least until the midterms in november. while sessions remains in his job, the president did announce another exit from the west wing this week. a move made public in his preferred style on social media. trump writing on twitter, white house council don mcgahn leaving in the fall. mcgahn not told the announcement was coming. last week, "the new york times" said he's been a key witness in the mueller investigation giving some 30 hours of testimony. that investigation has been the target of trump's anger for several months now, attacks on the special counsel in law enforcement agencies. a rally in indiana last night, the president issued this threat. >> but our justice

. >> let me put up this lindsay graham tweet about barack obama.speaks about the good old days of his presidency, the more likely president trump will be re-elected. >> in politics, we know both can happen. but he's definitely going to fire up the democratic base and that is what is needed to win back the house and the senate. but there's a ying to the yang, we have to take the bitter with the sweet, there will be an opposite reaction. >> the gallop for his approval was under the average, it was 49.9%, he's fdr compared to trump, there were a lot of people who did more. >> in the last two years, it's gone up, and it's gone up since then. of course his objective here is to of course do no harm. but if we think this is just an anti-trump speech, it shows the smallness of trump, and the smallness of people defending him, because it was a pro democracy, a proi civi ivcivic engagement. you compare that to what trump did all week, he did that himself, his quote of the week, it's sad actually. >> historically, without precedent. a president criticizing a

senator lindsay graham saying the delay is a political move, tweeting requiring an fbi investigation before ford will appear before the committee is not about finding the truth, but delaying the process until after midterms. with me is edward lawrence, live in d.c. with the latest. reporter: president donald trump says he would have to make a decision about judge brett kavanaugh's future as a nominee if he hears credible testimony from christine ford. at the moment, ford again not testifying as of yet, still saying she would wait for an fbi investigation to be finished before she would come testify before the committee. the president would not outright say, though, if he believes ford. >> the fbi has been very involved with respect to justice kavanaugh. they know justice kavanaugh very well. they have investigated him i guess six times, and they have investigated him for this hearing. look, if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that will be very interesting. we'll have to take a position. but i can only say this. he is such an outstanding man, very hard for me to imagine that

is going to be delayed even looking at the statements that we've seen from chuck grassley and lindsay grahamlicans are aware this is not something they can just sweep under the rug at this point and now there's a name and an accuser willing to come forward and share her story this needs to be heard out so i think we're going to see what happens after that, when we've heard, when she's testified and when we've heard from kavanaugh again , under oath. that's going to potentially change the game and it means that republicans may have to find a new nominee before the end of the year which would increase difficulties in getting a new justice voted on and confirmed, but at this point there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered. neil: do you think it would actually come to that, kelly jane? >> i do, neil. i think it's very possible and i think that's honestly what the democrats had in mind. now this is a very serious allegation and it should be looked at but i have a lot of questions about the process here ms. ford actually called the washington post tip line in early july before ka

it's because of people like lindsay grey graham who should better. he lacks spine. he needs to do his job under constitution. he should bring people to the hill and swear them under oath, is the president fit to serve, did he give classified information to the russians in the oval office? we know he did. why isn't the congress checking and balancing this man under the constitution instead of making up this nonsense. it's crazy. >> governor, i want you to have the last word. do you think the president has a right to be paranoid now? >> he already was. i done thi't think this was goi change anything. a degr i agree with paul. congress has been enablers as well. it's time for them to accept the responsibility that there's a check and balance here. if they believe in that, they ought to be exercising it. to think that the mueller probe is in any way involved in this is just ludicrous. >> governor, great to see you. thank you for coming. paul, great to see you. thank you. >>> coming up, sentencing day for the so-called coffee boy. former trump campaign adviser george pap
