ushed from the wind >>> within the republican party the highest phone numbers -- 92, 93%.l numbers ever. ever. isn't that crazy? i actually asked them. i said, did they do polling when honest abe lincoln was around? you know what, nobody's been able to give me that answer, but i'm assuming they did, okay? so we can say we beat honest abe. >> president trump making that argument last night in indiana. my poll numbers, they are through the roof. the last six months it's been that high. in the hull that's not great. if we're going to keep it around there, we have a shot at holding onto the house. that has been the story. this morning along comes this, brand-new poll. abc news washington post, the president's a prafl, just before%. there are no republicans telling you they think they can hold onto the house if donald trump's is at 36% or is anywhere near 36%. look at this. only 24% say they strongly approve. one says more than double. over 50%, outride majority of voters in this poll saying they strongly disagree with the president. so it tends to be there. it's not just being

fuzzy but kavanaugh pulled down his pants and exposed himself to her and thrust in her face and s ushed him away and inadvertently touched him. the new yorker was not able to fi anyone that can coon ra coroborating the claim. this comes at a pivotal moment for kavanaugh and the white house flatly denying this nev happened and kavanaugh says this is simple slander. >> it's thursday's hearing with the first accuser happens as schedule, will anyone else testifybesides ford and kavanaugh? >> that's one of the things thai isn't clear about the hearing but the two sides haven't agreed on that. she wants to bring more witnesses. and trauma experts that could explain why she didn't report this sooner but ke dow that mike judge, the other person that dr. ford alleges was in the room at the time, had he will not be subpoena. >> tonight larry hogan will face-off in the only debate of the maryland governor's race. the candidates will take questions fm several journalists from the washington post, the baltimore sun and t harold mail. it will be onublic television at 7:00. >> this week the news 4 ite

but the politics of it will rule. 15-year-old girls don't go to their parents ush s usually. they certainly don't go to the police or as trump suggested the fbi. this is absurd. and as far as even her memory goes, this was not a rape, this was not penetration, this was, you know, two drunk kids abusing her. and this changed her life she said for many year. senators will have to decide whether this disqualifies this particular man, brett kavanaugh, from sitting on the court which is supposed to be the moral touch stone and legal touch stone of the american constitution and to protect our rights. that is a very difficult challenge that the senate has, but it is a very high standard. it is higher than most qualifications for even government jobs. so we'll have to see. i suspect mitch mcconnell is right, the republicans have the votes. but it is very divisive and it is simply going to underline again the sharp divisions, increasingly loud and boisterous, between this white house and its opposition. >> the president as you point out believes that he does have the votes with the se

ush white house. >> i am holding over the nomination. sen. blumenthal: mr. chairman, i moved to adjourn. you ruled that our hearing that my motion to adjourn was out of order at that time. i believe it was pending before this committee and so i moved to adjourn. we lack the time, we lack the documents, and we need witnesses before we can proceed further with this meeting mr. chairman. sen. grassley: i have already taken the action of holding kavanaugh over. i would entertain your motion but as long as we have a quorum here -- sen. blumenthal: with all do respect, that motion was proper before began business. sen. grassley: you did not have the floor, i had the floor. sen. blumenthal: the motion was pending and i asked for a vote on it to proceed with any business. sen. grassley: just so anybody understands, the reason i want -- we have some people because of the weather situation in the southeast that wanted us to get some things done before we -- so that is why wanted to take the motion that i did on kavanaugh. sen. blumenthal: with all do respect -- sen. g

in the meantime, larry o'connor, associate editor of "the washington times" joins ush tonight.rry, nbc has changed the story just within the last 24 hours. initially andy lack said we had no on the record evidence or claim of any alleged victim of harvey weinstein. that is why we didn't run the story. >> they could not run it because he would not go on the record. >> tucker: now the script from last summer where rose mcgowan is quoted saying on the record that he abuse me. now he is saying we had no on camera on the record accusation. a, shouldn't he admit that he lied? and b, you do not need an hour on the camera account to run it. >> of course not, when you have harvey weinstein basically apologizing for the sexual assault against the one victim that blew the story apart. also, can we pause for a minute and check the irony about nbc news not running the story if somebody does not go on the record, how many an honest anonymously sourced information have they run about the trump administration? none why is it different here? of those anonymous sources go on the record. and -- >

water are t ushing down street just the rain. there is so much rain coming down. and it is getting tossed at 70 to 90 miles per hour down this street. so, clearly, we have moved into the parking garage and i am no nger standing out there. it is crazy, guys. >> if i mayti med, dylan, holding that yellow piece of equipment. it's called a kestrel. it's an anemometer, whenou see that bug in the corner, that's a live feed from that. >> so it's 83 miles per hour? >> that's a wind gust of 83 miles per hour. >> dylan, beef c. looking at dylan is making me extremely nervous. >> s t isking about this much rain. she has seen a thing or two in her day. now the storm is going to par there and we are going to see rain for days? >> that's right. again this is only a category 1 storm. as we have bn saying for the last several days, don't pay attention to the category. that's really something tha ves you a false sense. f securi >> you pointed this out. sandy was a category 1 storm, and look at the damat did to the folks onhe east coast. nbc's garrett haake is in new bern, north ca

administration, i think it's doing a great job, i think they have a blind spot on this, and the are ush to remove our forces is strategically misguided itch ooh you that would hurt us and our allies would wonder where u.s. credibility went. so i look forward to is strg a much more detailed conversation on this before your vote. thank you. >> thank you. senator blumenthal. >> thanks, mr. chairman. thank you both for your service, and tour families as well. general abrams, i know you are very familiar with the attacks on this country by north korea, attacks in the cyber domain, one of the most prominent occurred in may of 2017, wanna cry, which was attributed to the north korean group impacted 2,000 victims in all the countries. i'm sure you are familiar with the details. would you agree with me we need to do more to make north korea pay a price for this kind of cyber attack? >> senator, i think that we should continue to remain vigilant and hold anyone who conducts cyber attacks against our country accountable for their actions. >> are we doing enough now to hold north korea accountable?

if there was a realistic 60-vote ush thement, it would p president for nominating someone who could get those 60 votes. but look, the political climate is extraordinarily divided. that is a factor, to some extent a function of the trump presidency, and to some extent a function of what senator mcconnell did to the garlands nomination. the garland nomination. i think we will always look at of donalds the era trump. he looms large over the landscape. but i think the most powerful figure over the last 10 years has actually been senator mcconnell, and i think he has been quite destructive. host: but go to alex: from lexington, kentucky, and alex supports judge kavanaugh. i support, yeah, judge kavanaugh, but i can tell you this, i do believe dr. ford was assaulted by something, it is called indoctrination of the colleges, and moving to liberal california. we have already had six investigations by the fbi to prove his character. how much more money to we have to waste with another investigation from the fbi? it is obvious this woman is mentally ill. she can speak with a raspy voice like this
