Commission continuing to do its work and there is a pledge from this administration to stop bump stocks that tool that was used in the las vegas mass shooting. but that s part of why the president was asked this question and part of why it is so much of our debate. alec. kelly o. thank you for keeping an eye on every from the white house for us. let s go to ned price, national security analyst. welcome to you. i want to reminds our viewers we are waiting for a news conference or a briefing if you have, by the public safety official there on the scene. we are waiting to get the facts and figures and know specifically how many people were injured, how many people may have been killed and any details they want to share with us about the isn t who is now in custody. as you take a breath of the situation, ned, what comes to mind as you hear the situation from today, and you hear the talk of good guys with guns being put in places to keep out the bad guys with guns, those including churche ....
Issues that had been raised about kavanaugh for his legal opinions as well as the issues about the allegations of dr. christine blasey ford, and the character issues around brett kavanaugh. after she made it clear there would be enough, even though it s just a two-vote margin, the white house, of course, erupted in cheers and the west wing offices relieved that they will get their nominee on to the high court after a difficult fight. today the president hits the campaign trail himself heading to topeka, kansas, where we will expect to hear some public reaction for the first time about all of this, and that may come after the final vote late today. alex? all right, kelly o. at the white house. long day ahead. we will see you again. thank you so much. also new today a report that u.s. congressman jared nadler is promising to investigate brett kavanaugh if democrats win control of the house in november. joining me now, congressman meeks and member of the foreign affairs committee and ....
The most interesting open question at this point. remember, as of friday morning last week, he was a yes vote. and then he switched to wanting this fbi investigation. between what we heard from him this morning, the idea that he appears at least initially satisfied with the fbi investigation, and his initial yes, the longer he goes without saying more, without coming out as a firm yes and without appearing in front of cameras, and believe me, we ve been looking for him all day, that makes me think his support is maybe not as strong as it appeared last friday. so while things appear to be moving in the direction of a kavanaugh confirmation, most of the day here today, i wouldn t say the momentum has turned the opposite direction but it s slowed down. there s more of a question, despite the ticking clock towards that first vote tomorrow morning. i m a train wreck fan and recognize amy schumer there on the left. i want to bring kelly o. into the conversation. we ve got collins, murkowsk ....
Is a no vote. how many more votes can kavanaugh lose and still get confirmed? he can lose two and then mike pence would break the tie. so if manchin if manchin holds, and i think it s probably more likely than not he does. i have a hard time seeing joe manchin being the only democratic no vote. that gets us back to a situation where one of these republicans can still vote no and mike pence could break the tie. so you still need two of these republicans to come over to no votes to stop this thing. kelly o., bring us up to speed on what you re hearing. you ve got great sources on both ends of pennsylvania avenue. what do you know? some interesting things to look at are some of the dynamics here. joe manchin, democrat of west virginia, will not, i am told, make his position known until tomorrow. so he will not do what height heitkamp is and put the pin in ....
Sovereignty, incredibly important. and so there s a dynamic amongst this remaining group that is both political and personal. and we don t yet know if they re sharing their strategy but that is often the case in the final hours where if one person sort of needs to take the lead politically and do something risky, they may do it knowing they have cover from someone else. for example, if flake has to vote no for his conscience perhaps but he doesn t want to be a conservative who tanks this nomination, he might try to have the friendship of a democrat across the aisle vote in his place. you know how that sort of math could work out. we don t have answers to this yet, but that s some of the pressure that s being brought to bear. and for your people magazine moment, amy schumer is a cousin of chuck schumer. there s a family connection there as well. it all comes back to six degrees of separation, eugene. kelly o. is talking about alaska. of course, having been a palin staffer, i know al ....
