Page 64 - Murkowski News Today

About the book that he wrote and all the rest and i think thats a problem. i think there are a lot of other people that republicans would like the have interviewed. i think judge may be problematic for them, and i think thats behind a lot of this. >> i think flake is giving them a permission structure to essentially say the process isnt perfect, none of us are perfect, were never going to get clarity, even if we bring in the fbi. >> besaw that. >> yep. >> and i feel like that might be relevant t...

Soldiers death in a rack. i hope that is in the back of his mind when negotiating with this regime. jillian: appreciate it. rob: lets check in with brian kilmeade with what is coming up on "fox and friends". >> a little reluctance to talk to me when the show starts. i understand that, we are talking about the ultimate showdown today, zillions will be watching as brett kavanaugh tries to testify before -- we will see if doctor ford shows up and is able to elaborate on her story. what about the mu...

Feels a kindred spirit with him, but hell cut him loose if he thinks he needs to cut him loose. the other side is, youve got a lot of republicans, maybe three or four, in that camp in addition to susan collins and murkowski and jeff flake that are taking a wait and see approach. if she comes off as super compelling and he doesnt, it could be quite a development. think about if youre brett kavanaugh today. you could either by tomorrow morning be on the court or you could be a punch line in an ast...

Rooms where passed out girls were in the rooms. you hear it over and over and it lends credibility to the dr. fords statements. it will be an interesting day. not a good day for her. it is tough for her as she relives it. i hope people recognize that. >> michael, the argument is no one will ever throw their name in the hat for the supreme court ever again because of this process. sarah, it has come down to really math. there are three senators. murkowski, collins and flake. we have not heard a l...

Senators murkowski and collins in particular is when lindsey graham says that professor ford is almost as much of a victim as you are, judge kavanaugh -- >> mmm-hmm. >> painting judge kavanaugh as the real victim here and not professor ford, who is so emotionally and persuasively testified to the trauma that she received this morning. and then you see on the other hand someone like brett kavanaugh, who is exhibiting much more anger and vitreal and defiance than we saw in his previous hearings. a...

Hiccup. but again, those are not the people you should be looking at right now because those are the people who have already made up their mind. the people you should be looking at are the ones who havent said anything. not just flake, not just murkowski, not just collins. by the way, there was a fascinating photo of senator feinstein and senator murkowski talking in the capitol hallway yesterday with senator feinstein and her power move essentially, her arm leaning over the wall and almost towe...

What does that say to young men of what lives they should leave, and what does that send to susan collins and murkowski and jeff flake. if his goal is to get brett kavanaugh confirmed, did he help? >> i dont think he helped his cause yesterday. im not sure he hurt his cause. the three key senators you just identified, i am not sure they watched the presidents press conference and got closer to a no vote on kavanaugh yesterday. i think their votes are going to hinge very much on todays historic h...

Of the conversation privately are not going to be testifying publicly, and so i think its going to create a lot of uncertainty for both kavanaugh and for ford in terms of what kinds of questions they might get from the senators who are on the committee. the white house is genuinely worried about this. they think this hearing is something they cannot control, which is true. the reception that these individuals will get in terms of their credibility from these three moderate senators, flake, colli...

Generation, a domineering lbj looming over a senator back in his way. i did recall that. those are two of the key players here. a lot of people in washington do believe that this vote now rests on senator lisa murkowskis shoulders in a lot of ways, the speculation being, at least from folks i talked to, that senator flake will look to what senator murkowski does and may join her if she does oppose brett kavanaugh. again, were at the point of much speculation. nobody has a great sense of what wil...

Steve: watch on the house side sound biting from politicians at least with this professional it should be very specific on the questions she will ask both parties. ainsley: another politician got heckled at a restaurant. this time senator ted cruz and his wife. they were eating together and then this huge crowd came and heckled them inside the restaurant. watch this. [chanting: we believe survivors] ainsley: screaming. steve: that was a group called smash racism d.c. a branch of antifa, with the...
