Working to destroy donald trump, and that hit shelves today. Its tuesday when jasons book is about to drop. Jason is my first book ever. I cant wait to give one to marie. Harris she says he brought us a copy. Marie i will email him my thoughts. Melissa this is going to be a fun show. Harris i guess we better get started because the anticipation is killing me. Judge Brett Kavanaugh attending meetings of the white house for the second straight day now. And he says hes ready to go before congress and clear his name after new claims of Sexual Assault focusing on an incident that happened allegedly nearly 30 years ago. His accuser is Christine Blasey afford. If we are still waiting for confirmation that she will accept the invitation from the Senate Judiciary committee to tell her story, she has yet to do so we are told. Yesterday President Trump said the process should play out, but standing behind his nominee. He is one of the great intellects and one of the finest people that anybody has known. You look at his references, ive never seen anything quite like it. So theyll go through that process and we will get it done. If it takes a little delay, it will take a little delay. It shouldnt certainly be very much. Harris now said democrats are accusing republicans of rushing to have these new hearings without a full investigation. Peter doocy life for us on the hill. We have learned that the Judiciary Committee staff has reached out to a lawyer representing kavanaughs attorney Christine Blasey afford multiple times and so far, they received radio silence about the invitation to come testify on monday. If the hearing does happen as planned next monday morning, perhaps paying closer attention will be the republican lawmakers who remain undecided, we just caught up with one of them, Lisa Murkowski from alaska. She told us i think what we need to do, what we all need to do is not speculate on how she will perform. Whether she will be credible or whether he will be credible in his responses i think we should allow for the committee to assemble for the individuals to be heard and in fairness we should make our determination. Another undecided republican senator Susan Collins just told us about an idea that she thinks could quiet claims of the Senate Judiciary committees republicans which are entirely men are the right people to be asking questions about this matter. Collins says may be the opposing counsel for kavanaugh and his accuser both women could start out with a questioning before moving on to lawmaker inquiries. But democrats are not satisfied with any kind of questions that lack information provided by a fresh fbi background check. Chuck schumer the minority leader in the senate just did this on the floor of the senate, said we have two diametrically opposed stories, professor ford is telling the truth. But if you dont want the hearing to be just a he said, she said affair, an independent investigation and a background check by the fbi is essential. However, the fbi is now saying that they did their job already. They got this letter filled with accusations about judge kavanaugh and when they did, the fbi forwarded this letter to the white house counsels office, the allegation does not involve any potential federal crime, the fbis role in such matters as to provide information for the use of decisionmakers. But republican senator tim scott was just asked in the hallway a few minutes ago if his support of kevin ike a change of these allegations are proven true and he said of course. So he is preparing for next mondays hearing at the white house and has no room for error. Harris just real quickly because this is something new. Dianne feinstein says she wants more people at that hearing. Just getting that note now from the senators office. Look at this look like, with the source another delay or what you hear in . We heard yesterday from texas senator that he would be satisfactory just to hear kavanaughs side of the story, but the senate rules to allow hearing like this for cooperating witnesses on either side so that somebody could potentially backup each side that counts with something they thought they heard at the time. There does seem to be a great appetite on both sides of the aisle just to get as much information as possible out there adhering. The difference between the two sides would be the republicans want to get it all out there right now, they want to have that hearing on monday and then they want to vote next week on kavanaugh where is the democrats want to delay the hearing, delay a vote until a full fbi background check has been redone and not something that could take weeks or months. Harris thank you very much for taking that story, we appreciate it. Jason chaffetz on the couch now, would you make of it all . Jason i think the democrats from the onset has said they will go to any lengths to make sure they delay and defeat this nomination. This doesnt strike me as a big choreographed, nevertheless if she has an allegation and she wants to air it out which is not totally in the clear yet, the idea that she wont return the calls from the Judiciary Committee, that is not accepting a monday hearing date, i worry that here we have such an important appointment, we had months in the making for the fbi and everybody to do their job and yet the democrats chose not to share this information with the fbi, they chose not to share this with the rest of the Committee Even other members and at some point, you have to look at the pattern of behavior in a pattern of behavior for judge kavanaugh is one of accomplishment and being an upstanding citizen and hes got decades to point to where he is been a responsible person. Harris because ive seen some who were not, i want to be careful to shoes my words very carefully because as alleged victim, anyone could understand why she wouldnt want to be put in that spotlight. The last couple of days, always seen as the loops of them of amida hill on capitol hill and what that was like with some of the same group of men who were still on the hill now. Its a tough go round i would imagine, im not in your shoes on the hill as a former congressman, thats a tough position to be in. Jason theres a way to do that. She doesnt want to have a public hearing, theres a way to either with Committee Staff for even with some members. The closeddoor hearing. Its more difficult and less she can request that. This is such a public issue. Harris are you concerned about this becoming a circus if they both sit down. Jason we are already past the circus. Harris if they Start Talking about stuff on air in the middle of the day. Jason want to be as sensitive as they camped at the same time, it does feel a bit choreographed. All over social media was scrubbed, she met with an attorney, last night senator graham rang up an important point, if she didnt want this to come out, didnt want to be publicly testifying, that was the original story, then why did you get an attorney and why did she take a polygraph test, but her social media can scrubbed . Melissa maybe she got pressure to that point, we dont know the story. I would say that i dont think testifying questioning behind closed doors will do the trick at this point. Harris is it a trick to get to the truth or what politically will go forward . Melissa the trick is to understand the truth and that if theres one thing from sitting on his couch during this hour of the day is that we see a lot of those hearings capitol hill and while they may not have that moment that gotcha moment, you get a sense for who the person is as they answer the question. For example, the two women that were on marthas show last night i thought came across as honest and not contrived and compelling. I think if we see her sit down and we see judge kavanaugh sit down, everybody can make up their mind. Harris we know that sometimes is more about the histrionics and the pomp and circumstance and that actually doesnt get us closer to the truth, why do we all need to see it . Like at the people that weve elected and tries to go do this job on the Senate Judiciary committee get that done behind closed doors . Marie and then release the transcript to the public. Melissa we want is he in a black and white for ourselves, i think you have to hear the tone of someones voice. Harris what part does the public play is what im asking. Melissa is whether or not you believe them. Lisa how do you get to the truth that she didnt remember key details because i have been 36 years ago and she doesnt know how that she got there, didnt know who where she was or which month it was. I did get to the details when she cant even remember those key details which to me raises questions about the veracity of the most critical claims she is raging which is what allegedly happened. So i have questions here which is how do you get to the bottom of it if she doesnt even remember the details of what frustrates me about two era is that her life is in the only one who is hanging in the balance right now, so is judge kavanaugh so we better get this right when you have democrats like Kirsten Gillibrand who say that women will actually die if judge kavanaugh is confirmed, when democrats were against president toms nominee before he was even named, when there was obstruction from the beginning, when democrats tried to filibuster kavanaughs hearings, how do you ever get to the truth when that is where one side of this is coming from in the Mainstream Media which is basically just an extension of the Democratic Party . Harris to your making a better point for me and that is what environment do you think somebody who normally isnt on National Television is going to better be able to drill down and help you get to the truth . One of that is fraught with people trying to find their seats thats a crowded in there or pump crowded area where the professionals will sit down . We have prosecutors on the Judiciary Committee that are very good on both sides of the aisle. Im just wondering with that better be served up to just leave it up to what feeling do you get . Marie it is going to be very hard in that hearing on monday to determine what actually happened at this party 36 years ago. We probably never going to know if he was there if this happene happened. But what the senate will do as they will listen to her story and they will listen to his and they will consider this as part of the larger package of evidence they are considering as they decide whether or not to vote for him. Clarence thomas confronted his confuse her and he was confirmed so theres a process. He deserves to be listened to. Harris we know the fbi has given its material even though we didnt have much evidence and it reportedly to the white house. We also know the statue of limitations ran out on the so democrats are sincere in pressing for justice, where will they be it for instance the name gets pulled . Jason if they were sincere about doing this, they wouldve turned over the information when they received it. Marie dont question the sincerity of democrats wanting a woman to be heard. Wanted to hear the story of christine. Lisa democrat said women will die of judge kavanaughs confirm. Jason i will tell you as a chairman of the oversight committee, we had alleged victims of sexual abuse, Sexual Assault and we really defaulted to that woman or the man, every once in a while but the woman do you want to do this in public, do you want to do this behind closed doors and inevitably they wanted to get their story out but not everybody wanted to have 100 cameras blasted out on National Television and sometimes we let professional staff from both sides of the aisle to a transcribed interview and that seems to be a better format. Im just saying its an option. Melissa it would if politicians were going to be political but we all know that everybody on both sides are going to Vote Along Party Lines and i really doubt the sincerit sincerity. I think they know whether they want this judge or not for myself, completely open mind, i want to see for myself. I think you can tell when someone sits there and if shes brave enough to go, she deserves to be hurt, lets them both. Harris what melissa is saying is where voters might be ahead of the midterm and not heads out on monday. What a great discussion. Didnt solve anything. They use words like angry, furious, volcanic. What a revealing new surveys as about how the network news media, some of them portray the president. We will debate it. Plus, the firestorm over the president ordering the release of documents related to the early stages of the Russian Investigation. What exactly is being released and whether democrats claim that it threatens National Security are overblown. Stay close. They are just getting started. While i was in the navy, i decided that i wanted to go for Electrical Engineering and you need to go to college for that. If i didnt have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. Which is the main reason i left the military. Everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. And i get to do that. I get to provide that for them. Melissa fox news alert, expecting the polish president of the white house. The polish leaders First Official visit to washington comes just over a year after president toms historic visit to warsaw and as poland is asking the pentagon to permanently base u. S. Troops in poland as a deterrent to russian aggression. In we will hear from the president during his Oval Office Meeting with the polish president that is likely this hour and then the president will later hold a joint News Conference where both are expecting to be asked about the kavanaugh nomination, new china tariff, and a whole lot more. You will see right here live what happens. Fox news alert, on another topic, the president may be asked about his meetings today. His decision to order the declassification of documents related to the Russian Investigation, republicans believe this information could shed shed light on allegations of bias in the Justice Department and the fbi. They include a portion of a secret surveillance warrant, application on former Truck Campaign aide carter page. And all those Text Messages related to the Russian Investigation from several current and former fbi and Justice Department officials. Including former fbi director james comey. Key democrats calling the move and abuse of power and saying it endangers National Security. But hows intel chair devin nunes called those concerns overblown. Here he is with Laura Ingraham last night. Is laughable that theyre saying this is going to somehow endanger National Security. This is all transparency from the American People, this is all the information that the American People will need to see because for two years, weve been forcefeeding this russia koolaid to the American People so much that was that they have the media involved with it, the poor American People, i feel bad for some of these people who are part of this Resistance Movement who actually believe that the president is under control by the russians. Melissa chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge has more from washington. In the last hour, we have learned a new information at fox news about the ticktock of how this process will work. A source close to that process told us the right outcome of the intelligence agencies are taking these records that they will order to be declassified and theyre doing their own review so they can come up with recommendations about what needs to be redacted in terms of protecting the sources and methods. Im told that once i review processes over, a reporter memo will be sent to the white house with those recommendations for redaction, a fancy way of saying some parts of the records would still be blacked out but ultimately, it is the president who has the ultimate declassification authority, he can accept these recommendations for redactions, he can accept some of them were he simply accept him to the mall and just ask for all of the records to be released to the public with no reductions whatsoever. Weve also learned is this has divided along political lines in terms of the support for this decision, what we heard from the ranking democrat adam schiff is that he called this an abuse of power. Hes also said that he believes fbi and Justice Department leadership have reservations and that he described it as a redline to be crossed if these records were fully declassified without any redactions. So we are getting a sense of the process now. The government officials remain reluctant to talk about a timeline. Their best guesstimate at this point is that some records may be available within a matter of days but they also caution that we are dealing with the federal government that does move awfully slowly. Melissa Catherine Herridge, thank you so much. A great reporting is always and i just want to mention to our audience that we use on the bottom of your screen with the arrival of polish president as well as his first lady and you see there,
