said he'd slow cooking positive fully into the future so he's confident that he gets the vote off miss collins and with that mr kavanagh's fate will be he will be the next or another supreme court judge but that all waiver of those talk us through the. republican senators and which way they are likely to go. yeah the waivers were jeff flake that's the senator you remember who was confronted in the elevator very impressively by two women by two survivors of sexual assault he already announced that he will actually vote for the confirmation of mr brett kavanaugh so there is no weakening anymore. by jeff flake lisa murkowski the g.o.p. senator from alaska she also came out with a decisive statement and said she will vote against mr cavanaugh so the question is and the wiggle room here is with susan collins who is speaking right now and who will decide if she goes with or against mr given all and last but not least joe mentioned democratic senator who voted in the last vote today to get the vote out to the senate floor tomorrow for that to happen so that's the democrats senator democratic senator

it was dan rather going to facebook to say -- so collins misses her moment to be a hero.veteran journalist, and i'm not sure it's the job of journalists to arbitrate heroism. to be a check on power certainly, but did that strike you as odd. >> he mass disagree, but i would say he's embraced a more progressive identity in the past he two years since he's not a full-time nightly anchor. that's fine, but we need the down the middle news anchors as well. opinions are easy to find. bringing the facts is a lot harder. >> brian, thank so much. i appreciate you being here on a very, very big busy night. for much more on this, watch "reliability sources" tomorrow morning at 11:00. that's it for us tonight.

missed. stuff about collin kat next about having him come to the white house. that's an important thing. greg: >> this made me mad. i don't understand whether you agree with him or not i don't understand why he was tweeted this way. all of a sudden celebrities can't go into the white house. they been going to the white house for years. obama had a trillion celebrities in. a were not all policy experts but to talk about issues and give their case and this guy is saying his piece and no one can stand that this guy has a different opinion from most people in hollywood and most people in the mainstream media so they have to take them out or paint them to be psychotic and a maniac and he is ill and they make fun of him. maybe you did not like the segment but don't talk to me about how this guy kanye is disgracing the oval office when you defended bill clinton. save it for another time. no one did there what bill clinton did their. greg: tyrus. i do think there is some truth about the father thing because when kanye is talking to drop i believe that he sees him as a father figure. tyrus: right

susan collins and missa miss --a murkowski. you go from 100 senators to 99. 51 republicans to 50. so they need to keep all of those republican senators together just to get to 50 votes, unless they get joe manchin involved here. for a long time we have not thought joe manchin would be the deciding vote unless the republicans could demonstrate they had the votes. with only 99 senators present, you can't have a die. the vice president can only cast a vote if there be a tie. so that those that scenario out the window. here is the timetable. the procedural vote tomorrow. we are told steve d air, nes will be there. and 5, 5:30 is when that final confirmation vote would be taken. kennedy: we have been reading today that senators flake and collins said they can't see any corroborating evidence. so you could assume the implication is they are moving into the yes column. if you are the last holdout, do you get something pretty great from the president? is there some benefit to being the last yes? reporter: some people think that's what's going on behind the scenes. that they are trying to

>> i think senator collins is missing the point. these this was a tremendous opportunity. for her. and for other people in power to say these this is a moment that requires a different kind of leadership. the experience of sexual assault is both very personal. but it's a collective experience. that's why all of us were telling our stories. we were saying look at us. look at me. and by looking at me, see all of us. as the country. and do something which you have been your power today to signal to the country you will help change the culture. that doesn't believe us, that forces us to provide all the evidence. that starts out by assuming that our stories are not real. and that really fundamental fails to understand the nature of sexual violence and the nature of trama. that lasts for decades. >> the problem we had a generational issue was balanced against a generation of jurisprudence. just to get something out of the way. who was paid? either of you. >> nobody was paid. >> were you paid? yes or no. >> of course not. >> did anybody have signs made for them? in a professional way. >>

collins. sorry to miss the opportunity to meet with you. i want to thank you for hitting the ground running and getting the work done and thank goldman who supersized the issue in the room. this is the least my brain has hurt in this room ever, i think though alan always does his best and is the whole argument we just heard is a complete logical fallacy on the order of here's a snowball so we don't have to worry about warming or it's a nice day at the beach therefore we don't have to worry about coastal infrastructure. ultimately, all of these issues require us to use our brain to use science to understand the status quo is going to change and because it exists today, doesn't mean we can make our planning decisions based on that. it's analogous to the physician in world war ii in that we kept our head in the stand until we were hit. the problem with climate change by the time we're hit it will be far too late for investment institutions' actions to be important. we support this but believe you need to move much faster. the report just in ev

osaka missed last weeks wuhan open but she rattled through this match and will face america's danielle collinsord for the largest ever wave surfed by a female. the 31—year old conquered the giant 20.72—metre wave, or 68ft for those of you of an imperial disposition, in portugal back injanuary this year, but the record was only officially announced on monday. the achievement was declared at a special ceremony overlooking the waves at nazare in portugal where the record was set, with an adjudicator from guinness world records presenting her with the official certificate. gabeira's record is notably impressive after she nearly drowned while surfing the big waves at nazare back in 2013 after being knocked unconscious while competing. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me marc edwards and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello. after a rather chilly start to october, it will feel a bit warmer for many of us in the day ahead. there's an area of milder, warmer air that's been moving into the uk between these two weather fronts. but the wea

what we saw today in the way he spoke to in the way he treated this reporter miss vega as well as another reporter kaitlan collinscries something else at a time when i have women leaving voice messages, i know other reporters do, expressing their displeasure about what's going on in washington all of the time. we have midterms coming up. i think that is a perilous approach for this president as he is trying to defend. he had another person close to him or that he has nominated or who is on his team or he wants to be on his team who is being accused by women of mistreatment. >> phil rucker, a look at the numbers shows that this nominee's support is slipping and kavanaugh is underwater in all cases. we kind of put together a sum of the polls. this is qpac. no 48, yes 42. should the senate confirm? the next one is also quinnipiac. blasey ford, who do you believe most? by seven points blasey ford over kavanaugh. and this was a big one. almost seven in ten americans support this re-opening of the fbi background check. so perhaps it's numbers like this and coverage like we have witnessed in the first 28:30 of this broa

collins, a keynote in the kavanaugh nomination. she's facing enormous pressure from washington and her home state. how will she ultimately vote? >>> breaking news. republican senator steve danes of montana has announced he's missor judge kavanaugh. republicans cannot afford to lose more than one republican senator if all democrats vote no, and one of the biggest question marks tonight for the republicans, senator susan collins of maine. paula sandoval is out front. >> vote no on this confirmation. do not turn a blind eye. >> reporter: from the halls of congre congress, to the streets of portland, maine. senator susan collins is getting an earful. the senior republican senator from maine, still undecided, could be the key vote that decide it is brett kavanaugh is confirmed to the supreme court. >> good afternoon, senator collins' office. >> reporter: that's why the phones in her home state office and stopping by, a final attempt at making their voices heard. most of the people we encountered today seem to an pose kavanaugh's appointment. >> my main american concern is honesty and temperament. i know she's in a position of influence right now. >> reporter: voting yes on kavanaugh may be welcomed by collins' fell

appears to be designed, you know, carefully to give susan collins and jeff flake an excuse to vote yes for the nominee. the one thing that we keep missing is about no corroboration, and no corroboration is that it does is set up a false choice here. the testimony from christine blasey ford was evidence. it may not be corroborated by other witnesses in the room, but it was evidence, and the republican senators whether they have corroboration or not, they have to be faced with with a choice of whether they believe her or not, and so they don't want to answer that question, so they have come up with a new dynamic and investigation that does not ask the right questions and to get the right answers, and so it is an extremely cynical act by everyone involved. >> the fbi investigation that was a one-week extension may have helped judge kavanaugh more than anything else, because it is the white house the excuse that they had an extensive investigation considered thorough by senator kol lins so far until she has read the actual interviews. thank you, daniel miller and peter alexander and daniel goldman and kasie hunt. and senator richard blument

collins speech. it was an important speech. i wonder what you thought of it. >> started talking and i started yawning. i realized i am missingething huge. i am not trained to hear it. we spent so much time with short, loud trumpian speeches. this might be the most important speech i have heard in years. she was not just defending kavanaugh. she was defending hourly system and trying to preserve the institution. she was like previously in the government. she went from the beginning to the present time and took us through the resistance and his legal background. she was a hammer of reason going through all of this stuff. she brought us from the start to the finish providing cover for everybody else. she spoke not for kavanaugh. she was speaking for us. i go to twitter because i see other media making jokes about her. male reporters mocking her because she is slow or boring. but they are dumber than me for doing that. they are making fun of a woman. a brave woman. she'll be harassed for the rest of her life. >> she decided to do it on merits. this was not a partisan decision for her. >> it should not be this close. the media ha

collins hit it hard off the top. >> did you kill your wife michelle? >> no, sir. >> were you there when it happened? >> no, sir. >> reporter: what about jason's missinghpuppies that match the shoe print? he no longer owned them. >> are those the shoes you had on november 2nd? >> no, sir. >> they were all ratty. >> reporter: they were all ratty. told michelle to give them to goodwill. as for the night of the murder, after she checked into the hotel, he left his room twice. the first time to get a power cord for his laptop. >> i was going over the sales call i had the next day. >> reporter: the second trip he testified was to smoke a cigar. >> i had to go outside to smoke a cigar. i also wanted to look at sports schedules and some standings and so i wanted to see if i could pick up the "usa today" as well. >> reporter: the newspaper run explains why he was seen at the lobby round midnight. >> between the time you smoked the cigar, went back upstairs and went to sleep, did you leave the room until the next morning? >> no, sir. >> reporter: the next morning he realized he had left e-bay printouts on the computer at home. they showed purses thinking of bu

miss that. mary, though, obviously plenty of reaction to all of this and already some speculation about who may run against senators collins and murkowski. >> yeah, the fallout was swift here. on twitter we saw obama's former communications director asking who wants to run for senate in maine? there will be an army of supporters with you, and we saw ambassador susan rice quickly tweeting, me. and then sarah palin also chiming in with her message to a fellow alaskan saying, hey, lisa murkowski, i can see 2022 from my house. >> we'll see how it all plays out. mary bruce, thanks so much. we appreciate it. >>> as we said, assuming kavanaugh is confirmed, it is a major victory for the president getting a second justice on the supreme court. >> abc's white house correspondent tara palmeri has more from the white house with how the president is responding to the swing votes swinging in his direction. hours before the likely confirmation of judge brett kavanaugh to the high court, president trump taking a victory lap with just a tweet saying, very proud of the u.s. senate for voting yes to advance the nomination of judge brett kav

(avo) living longer is possible. it's tru. keytruda, from merck. ask your doctor about keytruda. >>> done deal. key republican senator susan collinseme court. >> i will vote to confirm judge kavanaugh. >> and the gop is now facing fierce backlash from women and political opponents. senator collins is here to explain her vote, next. and we'll get a response from judiciary committee democrat maise hirono in minutes. >>> plus, final stretch, with a month to the midterm elections, both sides are trying to get out the vote. > will the bruising fight for the court rev up the

. >> collins and manchin, along with republican jeff flake, all voted to advance the nomination. but senator lisa murkowski of alaska quietly voted no. >> miss murkowski. >> she later told reporters, it was the most difficult evaluation she's had to make, saying, he's not the right man for the court at this time. and the vote tomorrow to confirm brett kavanaugh will occur tomorrow afternoon. we expect potentially one republican senator, steve danes, to not attend that, because he's walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding. so he will be confirmed tomorrow by probably a 50-49 vote. this would be tying one of the narrowest margin for any supreme court nominee in history. and wolf, in the aftermath of all this, this is now heading to the election. expect a furious fight over the fallout of this, and joe manchin, the democrat who is up in one of the toughest re-elections in the country, i asked if he's concerned, his base may revolt against him. he said he was not doing this for political reasons. wolf? >> manu, very dramatic moment indeed. meanwhile, president trump is keeping a rather low profile, at least today, staying off camera a

miss murkowski has said she will vote against it. what are the chances of that he will be defeated? it looks right now like it is going forward to confirmation. changesif susan collins her vote to vote no, he could still advance as long as joe manchin and jeff flake foe yes and vice -- both yes and vice president mike pence comes into rate vitae. we would need -- comes into break the tie. we would need two senators. david: thank you. we want to go to brazil. gounderstand there are does candidates who might make it through to the last round of voting. >> we have two front runners, doir bolsonaro and fernan haddad. has are looking, bolsonaro 35% of votes. they will go on to a runoff at the end of the month. one further question, we do not know very much about the candidate. we do know what the workers party would do. do know something about polson's economic advisor who trained in the university of chicago. he wants to privatize everything. what we do not know is if jair bolsonaro will go along with these ideas. voted against ideas his economic advisor is now proposing. it is unclear how long this alliance will last and if this will move forward with investors -- with

. >> if you missed it and you probably didn't but it is worth recapping susan collins voted yes.yes. jo manchin yes and lisa murkowski voting present, effectively a no vote siding with the democrats. >> the moment that will be reviewed and referred to for years to come was susan collins's floor speech as we waited to find out until the end when she told us how she was going to vote but the content of her speech stands out in the story. let's take a listen to what she had to say. >> brett kavanaugh has received rave reviews for his 12 year track record as a judge in evaluating any given claim of misconduct we will be ill-served in the long run if we abandon the presumption of innocence and fairness. i listened carefully to christine blasey-ford's testimony before the judiciary committee. i found her testimony to be sincere, painful, and compelling. to that leaker, who i hope is listening now, let me say that what you did was unconscionable. you have sacrificed her well-being in a misguided attempt to win whatever political -- you think you are -- i do not believe that these charge

nothing had been missed if he reads this report as he suggested in some statements today and doesn't find anything new i would think jeff flake is likely to support kavanaugh. but susan collins, lisa murkowski really the wild cards here. >> susan collins earlier in the day went back a second time. he said she didn't see corroborating evidence. >> and she said the report was thorough. she thought the fbi investigation seemed to be thorough. that would suggest she's satisfied with where things sta stand. >> she's been signaling from the beginning saying he would not overturn roe. describing the fbi report as thorough, you can say a lot about an investigation of nine or ten people but thorough would not be the hill you want to die on in describing this report. >> and if you assume susan collins and jeff flake are yeses, lisa murkowski is probably not going to be the odd man out. >> if two are yeses, it's all over, he's confirmed? >> and that frees up manchin to jump in. >> heidi heitkamp, a democratic senator who had been undecided today announced she's voting no. listen. >> if this were a political decision for me i would be deciding this the other way. but there's an old sayi

collins hit it hard off the top. >> did you kill your wife michelle? >> no, sir. >> were you there when it happened? >> no, sir. >> reporter: what about jason's missinges that match the shoe print? he no longer owned them. >> are those the shoes you had on november 2nd? >> no, sir. >> they were all ratty. >> reporter: they were all ratty. told michelle to give them to goodwill. as for the night of the murder, after she checked into the hotel, he left his room twice. the first time to get a power cord for his laptop. >> i was going over the sales call i had the next day. >> reporter: the second trip he testified was to smoke a cigar. >> i had to go outside to smoke a cigar. i also wanted to look at sports schedules and some standings and so i wanted to see if i could pick up the "usa today" as well. >> reporter: the newspaper run explains why he was seen at the lobby round midnight. >> between the time you smoked the cigar, went back upstairs and went to sleep, did you leave the room until the next morning? >> no, sir. >> reporter: the next morning he realized he had left e-bay printouts on the computer at home. they showed purses thinking of buying o

collins -- i put this in the fact box -- said "we need to see who we information." seems like it might've come from their team. that's important to know. >> steve: missesle impact on her and her family. why? entirely because of the actions of someone on the democrat side. it's only democrats who had the letter, who had the information. we can argue, but we know one thing for sure -- it was a democrat. the other thing i say is that susan collins' speech on friday when she was announced at -- >> harris: on the senate floor? >> steve: it was one of the most impressive things i've ever seen. i found it very moving, she took her rule so seriously, and from the other senator to dismiss her -- i think it's so ridiculous. that speech was a model of how a senator should behave on such an important question of confirming a justice. all the senator should follow it. >> can i add something to that very quickly customer key front of mine boil this down as facts versus feelings. what i thought when we heard on friday, when we were on the couch, senator collins was going to give the speech. i assumed that she was going to be a "no" vote and she was going to make a ra

with one present and the missing vote there would be senator gaines, he is at his daughter's wedding and his vote would not make a difference. and the main get is senator susan collinsassioned speech on the floor set the tone for the vote. sara sanders, the white house secretary took to twitter to offer a personal thanks. thank you, senator collins for standing by your convictions and doing the right thing to confirm judge kavanaugh. speaking of, we've heard this morning that the president has, in fact, had a chance to speak with his high court nominee. >> the president did speak with brett kavanaugh. i know it's one of these moments, again, that i'm incredibly proud of working with this president who has stood by judge kavanaugh, has really made it a point to explain to the american people why judge kavanaugh is the right person at the right moment for the court. it's such a huge win for the president, but not only for the president, but for the nation, for the american people. >> now, the white house is expected to be fairly quiet ahead of the president's trip to kansas for that big rally over in topeka. we'll have live coverage and a white house official told me
