law, we made that very clear over the past couple of weeks, you are an attorney by training, you were an attorney general in your home state of connecticut, that notion of being innocent until proven guilty is probably coursing through your sceveins every day. so given that, doesn t senator colins have a point, that there was no proof, so should judge kavanaugh be given the benefit of the doubt? what is your response to that. the presumption of innocence is central to our judicial system, our sense of fairness, and our constitution. but there was a lot of powerful and credible proof here. not only the testimony, absolutely riveting, and powerful, from dr. blasey ford, but the polygraph test she took, the prior consistent statements that she made to her therapist and her husband and to friends,
heidi heitkam, murkowski, colins, what are they going to mudo? i believe that the senators that are in the red states, i think if they don t vote to confirm kavanaugh i think they are going to be in big trouble in this election because one thing that s happened, you know, republicans are happy with the economy every american should be happy with the economy, right? yes. but what you re seeing republicans are waking up thatfi this resistance movement, everybody thought this was a joke like a term off of star wars, they are starting to see now because of the a situation that judge kavanaugh is in, what many of us have been dealing for the last 2 years. okay. all right. and congressman nunes, you are going to stay right here, more to get to, i want to know where we are in the fisa warrant investigation, when are we going to see accountability from people in law enforcement and deep state and we will get house intel in a moment, more on the kavanaugh controversy, dan bongino watc
that s i think what s creating this tearing apart of our country that jeff flake was talking about. he s seen they re incapable of having that empathy too. in a political context. so the pressure s on in a very big way. is this predicated on flake, murkowski and colins? absolutely. they clearly feel the pressure. you could see that clearly jeff flake had heard the testimony from dr. ford and sat through the entire day of testimony, but those women going in there, in the elevator, and really making him sit back and take a stand, clearly that was the that was the tipping point, for him to say, okay, stop, time-out, let s let the fbi come in and listen to this, and hear the big question is going to be whatever the findings are from this fbi investigation, how impactful will it sway right. any opinion that senators have right now today, prior to that investigation, will it in any way sway them. i d like to hear from the republican women. where are the republican women
since last friday. guaranteed that kavanaugh will be on the supreme court in the near future. he didn t say. he said he promises there will be a vote. listen to colins. sorry murkowski said it would be nice to have an fbi investigation. i do not believe he is going repeal roe v. wade. she seems to suggest he has the votes. he must have your vote. are you still undecided? i am. how can i decide before hearing the testimony of professor ford? is christine ford the only thing that leaves you undecideded on him? i m close. i m very close. i m not all the way there yet. and professor ford deserves to be heard. translate that. she s close.
investigation that will never happen as a delaying tactic and push it past the midterms. tonight, the three key republicans who are the swing votes. you see them there. they are all saying that dr. ford should testify on monday. corker saying if she doesn t show up the senate should move forward to vote on kavanaugh. colins is saying it s my understanding that the committee offered to hold public private session, whichever makes from ford more comfortable. that contra tickets a claim that dr. ford is being pressured or forced to testimony. chairman grassley is saying he is doing everything to make this as easy as possible. watch. where i m focused right now is doing everything that we can to make dr. ford comfortable with coming before the committee. either in an open session, closed session or a public or a private interview.
