Hearings for the Supreme Court begin tomorrow. Republicans are confident in victory. President trump is ready for a win to taught on the campaign trail. Three democrats on the Judiciary Committee are ready to signal to their base they have what it takes to be the partys standard bearer for 2020. White house correspondent jeff bennett and justice correspondent pete williams. Pete, i want to start with you. As you look to this hearing, do you think there is any chance that a democrat lands a real blow in an Opening Statement .

We do tli were goi think were an update on their status at the press conference. The next priority is finding out how this happened. Table rock lake, its near branson, missouri. If you are familiar with that area, its a hot spot for tourism in the summertime for families and church groups. There were a lot of camps out there. The duck tours have been in the area for nearly half a century. They go theyre on land and they go into the water and back out on land.

Thank you, rachel. Well, as i say we begin with the breaking news reporting in the Washington Post tonight. The Washington Post is reporting, quote, the turkish government has told u. S.

With the breaking news reporting the Washington Post tonight. The Washington Post is reporting, quote, the turkish government has told u. S. Officials it has audio and video recordings that prove the Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate this month according to u. S. And turkish officials. The recordings show that a saudi team detained khashoggi in the consulate after he walked in on october 2nd to obtain an official document before his upcoming wedding and killed him and dismembered his body.

The president began his day with a phone call to fox friends, and even the president s best friends at fox friends was surprised to hear him say this morning that u. S. Relations with saudi arabia are now, his word, excellent. Whats at stake with u. S. Saudi relations, sir . I would say they
Clear weve absolutely got to secure the border. Im hoping this committee will be able to come up with a proposal that we can all support, that the president can sign.
