About an hour from now. And theres been no let up in the president s tirade against Jeff Sessions, he tweeted again just before sessions arrived at the white house. The president also tweeting he will reinstate a ban on transgender individuals serving in the United States military, and he cited medical costs and did ruppation. The natt meanwhile has delayed the next vote on a plan to repeal obamacare, scheduled for about 2 1 2 hours or so from now, well update the Health Care Debate here in the United States in a live report, thats coming up this hour as well. But lets start with the u. S. Attorney general Jeff Sessions who was there at the white house when the president launched his latest attack against him. And ill quote, why didnt a. G. Sessions replace acting fbi director Andrew Mccabe, a comey friend who was in charge of the clinton investigation, but got big dollars, 700,000 for his wifes run against Hillary Clinton and the represents drain the swamp. She got 700,000 from the de
Better. The president has put a great deal of focus on this. This president doesnt have the luxury of time. This president was forced to deal with it, unlike his predecessors who were able to kick the can down the road, talk about sanctions and things that havent worked. This president doesnt have that luxury. I dont think north korea is a partisan issue. I agree. I absolutely agree. Its something that everybody is concerned about and everybody is looking to President Trump what youre seeing from World Leaders is a concern that he is rushing to war and being erratic in his behavior. I dont think thats a fair analysis. This was an opportunity to do that on the trip. There is a concern, kristen. In some countries as you know, according to international polling, there is more respect for President Trump and more faith in the United States leadership. In russia, in israel, and in other countries but the world as a whole if you look at this according to pew, its down. So up in ally israel,
I think it will be very successful. What left wing groups and their democratic allies have done to judge kavanaugh is nothing short monstrous. I hope we can say no to mob rule by voting to confirm judge kavanaugh. Miss murkowski. Murkowski is a no. I am being told shes not voting to move forward. On this vote, the yeas are 51, the noes are 49. The motion is agreed to. I did not come to a decision on this until walking into the floor this morning. I believe Brett Kavanaugh is a good man. I believe hes a good man. It just may be that in my view hes not the right man for the court at this time. You are planning to vote yes tomorrow . Unless Something Big changed. I dont see what would. But this is a difficult decision for everybody. It really is. So anyway, did our best. Do you think hell get confirmed tomorrow . I would think so. The facts presented do not mean that professor ford was not sexually assaulted that night or at some other time but they do lead me to conclude that the allegat
Explosive and for the past 24 hours, it has seemed like his confirmation is in serious jeopardy. All eyes are on four key republican senators, jeff flake of arizona, bob corker of tennessee, Susan Collins of maine and lisa muir crkowski of alaska. All of them called for a delay in kavanaghs confirmation to hear from dr. Ford. But now all are wavering, that ford should appear on monday whether public or private before moving forward with a vote. President trump has remained mostly silent on the subject, something thats doing republicans a favor. The president spent the day touring parts of north and South Carolina after hurricane florence. About kavanagh, he only said that. Kavanagh is such an outstanding man, it would be very surprising if anything happened. This cabinet has been treated very, very tough. And his family is very, very tough whats going on. I think hes a man of great intellect and hes had an unblemished record. This has been a very tough thing for him and his family. Tha
