A woman said, who was your harvey weinstein? and next day, the me too. and this movement out of nowhere, the weinstein stories and its had a lot more power than i think anyone predicted. every time i thought it was slowing down, its sped up. this is the backlash. this is the backlash. what so many men in this country, frankly, have wanted to see led by the president and s.e., you were right. you called this in july and made me realize with the column you wrote that the me too movement backlash w...

You and me. we have just been through an emotionally fraught cultural trauma. whether you were with brett kavanaugh or against him, there is an anger in this country. its on both sides, believe me. and it isnt going to just evaporate. take a look. youre seeing it right now. the senate vote may be done but mark my words, the ripple effects are just beginning. for the latest, let me bring in cnn congressional correspondent phil mattingly. phil, we look at really dramatic footage right now of those...

I think to something hillary mentioned earlier. i dont like the rhetoric weve heard from the president about professor ford either and i would caution republicans not to go after her because, one, its wrong. two, i dont think its in their best interest and i really tried, s.e., and hillary, not to just talk to folks in washington and reach out, especially to women and find what theyre thinking and taken and undecided on the senate race. who told me, i dont like old accusations. i believe in due ...

>> i understand. it is important to remember and point out, chuck schumer and other democrats from the beginning of the process made it quite clear the democrats would do anything and everything to stop judge kavanaugh. as s.e. said, that would apply to any person donald trump nominated because of one word, abortion. these democrats are doing anything underhanded they possibly can to stop another supreme court nominee and justice that would protect and support roe v wade. >> we did not do this. ...

War before they actually denuclearize but s.e., i dont blame them for actually questioning whether to trust the united states here. the most recent example of denuclearization that they have to look at is not the libya model. its the iran model under which iran gave away most of its nuclear program and guess what? we backed out of the deal. so, we do not look like a credible interlocutor here. >> what do you think trumps next move will be? >> i think that the president is so thirsty to show that...

Much about it. and so i imagine his reaction was natural. well, sure, okay, whatever they want to do is fine with me. it was remarkable to see his restraint and discipline and his civility when talking about professor ford, for example, as a credible witness. but i think all of that just shows how confident he is in brett kavanaugh. i dont think that showed sort of a, im losing the grip here. i think hes that confident in brett kavanaugh. that whatever happens over the next week, as historic as ...

Dissect. >> i dont know. i dont know. >> i know. lets bring in david axelrod, former senior adviser to senator obama and host of cnns s.e. cupp unfiltered. >> i was struck. not recalling a party in high school doesnt mean it didnt happen. im not sure i recall a gathering of six friends in a house. he seemed to be saying they dont recall the gathering of friends so it didnt happen. im wondering what you heard yesterday and how you think these senators will vote. >> well, let me start by saying im...

No bringing mark judge, as you mentioned, john, before the panel. one person who she named as an eye witness to this incident, there is no explanation for that. this man is going to get a lifetime appointment on the supreme court. and you would think for the sake of the country out of respect for dr. ford and for his sake they would want to do everything possible to get to the bottom of this. and it really looks like the judiciary committee just wanted to check the box. they had to hear from her...

They could say lets have more fbi questions. s.e. said were the ones that have to decide. but its not us who has to decide it. it is those four senators. what are they thinking this morning, david? >> she gave very compelling and very detailed testimony. and she was very powerful. and i think the decision that was made, the political decision, was to go tribal and to -- and i said the most telling exchanges were, you know, lindsey grahams sort of outburst there where he turned to the republican ...

Columnist, s.e. cupp, and mark preston is here, cnns senior political analyst. frank, you heard what he said. it seems that maybe even jeff flake isnt sure what brought about the turn about, if you will. what do you think, though, made the difference with jeff flake and then -- and other republicans that then got on board with something that they were not on board with, at least publicly, which was more investigation? >> well, i think jeff flake has been struggling with this for quite some time ...
