harris: on that note. love to do that to me. we ve been calling it swing among republicans, we learned that senator flake says he s yes unless something changes. three of the four voted yesterday in a closed term, murkowski voted no. that s where the score is part now. that matters because we are moving into where we are going to hear from senders on the hill today. we will hear from senator collins at 3:00 p.m. eastern. it really does matter what happens now in the next two hours. a lot of this conversation will continue to go on. we have to make sure we have to keep our guys melissa: we are distracted from real issues. present trump unleashing a democrats during a campaign rally last night in in the midf a showdown with judge kavanaugh. we will discuss the applicable impact of all this was just weeks to go into the high-stakes midterms. i ve said it, and i will say it as many times as you want to hear it. it s because of their policy that democrats are truly the
so this is a guy who knows plenty about the fbi. because it intensifies democratic support in a blue state. remember the rule. if you re playing out of position, you re a democrat in a red state or republican in a blue state, this is not good news for you. dana: all right, chris stirewalt, thank you. you bet. dana: tight senate race in tennessee, why the volunteer state is turning into a battleground. plus brett kavanaugh actually get an assist from senator jeff flake? i ll talk to missouri senator roy blount about that next. insurance that won t replace the full value of your new car? you d be better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i m gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we ll replace the full value of your car. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty sometthat s when he needs the way ovicks vaporub. s sleep. proven cough medicine. with 8 hours of vapors.
world of difference in the decision on brett kavanaugh. the fbi conducting a supplemental investigation at the request of arizona senator jeff flake and finding no evidence to support allegations of sexual assault. joining me now republican senator roy blount of missouri. he has read the document. as i understand it, you went back to look at it again. was there something you thought you had missed or were you on the fence about it? i wasn t on the fence about it at all. i thought the staff summary yesterday was pretty exhaustive. the new documents, about 50 pages of interviews. then i heard senator schumer saying all kinds of hints of misbehavior, so i went back to look at this document, but also to look through the previous six documents and there are no hints of misbehavior. one of the questions i always ask of everybody, including the candidate, is, is there ever been a drinking problem, drug problem? dana: that s the very first
question. if you re not the candidate, have you ever heard anything about this person that would concern us if we heard it? can you tell us three other people that we should be talking to that we aren t talking to? when we vote on brett kavanaugh tomorrow, he is likely to have been the most investigated nominee, not just for the supreme court, but possibly for any office ever with seven of these background checks, over 150 interviews, and over a long period of time. dana: it was only a week ago when the senator had found senator jeff flake kind of in their cross hairs. like why are you going to delay this? he was calling for the fbi investigation. john mccormack writing today in the week since the four kavanaugh hearings, no one has been able to disprove the unfalsifiable allegations but the extra week has very clearly helped clear kavanaugh s name. do you agree that this fbi investigate eight has been helpful in getting the republicans to the point where
judge kavanaugh, are going to suggest what you are doing now smacks of desperation. you know what s important here, wolf, is the facts. we have an interest as the united states senate to uncover all of the facts, to give the fbi the time that it needs as well as the authority and the resources to uncover all of those facts whatever it may be. and the person who is responsible for this fbi investigation, jeff flake, correctly and courageously asked for a fair, full investigation, ought to join us i think in asking for all of the facts. but senator jeff flake, the republican who pushed for this additional fbi investigation together with your colleague chris coons of delaware, a de democrat, they both said publicly, everyone said the investigation would conclude within a week. it is now almost within a week.
