Breaking U.S. Senate votes to advance the nomination. Is that the case? Let's see if CNN agrees with you random person. CNN says the vote is underway. Susan Collins is a yes for now but we'll announce her final decision later.

I think it's smart for all the people who are undecided. Now Kavanaugh was not just confirmed. I believe the vote was for cloture. Remember I told you before that we've learned so much about our government because of the Trump years. Did you know what cloture meant last week? How many of you knew what a vote for cloture, C-L-O-T-U-R-E, how many of you even knew what that was a week ago?

Now my understanding is it's a vote to close the debate so that you can later have the real vote. So it's only a vote to stop arguing. It's not a vote that's the final vote. So this vote if it went the way that we think it did or will means that they've agreed to vote tomorrow.

Why am I not watching the vote? Because I'm doing this. I'm doing this and I didn't think there was any mystery about the cloture. For me it seemed that it was obvious that they would vote to have a vote. That part seemed easy to predict. 51 to advance. All right that sounds, there are enough votes to advance. They just got 51 votes. Manchin and Murkowski flipped.

Now voting to close the debate doesn't have to be the same as voting for it because you could vote to close the debate and then vote against the proposition. There's nothing wrong with that. So there's still a little bit of mystery.

Let me ask you this. You know that I predicted from the start that Kavanaugh would get confirmed. How many of you didn't believe that? Because I think at this point it's sort of a done deal. Did it help you at all that I was confident in this and that my predictions have been pretty good so far?

So my prediction was that Republicans would say unless there was some new information about Kavanaugh's past, my prediction was that the Republicans would go with they would take the win and they would look at the bigger picture which is we can't have a world in which this sort of accusation derails somebody. So to me it seemed like they would favor the bigger picture. And the bigger picture is you can't have a world where uncorroborated accusations of 17-year-old behavior ruins your career when you're in your 50s.

Yes so they have agreed to the vote only. That is correct. But I think it's pretty safe to assume that the vote's going to go in the same way. Historically it's the litmus meaning that if the cloture vote goes one way the vote itself will go the same way. So the vote tomorrow at 4 p.m.

You may be wondering where I will be tomorrow at 4 p.m. because I won't be Periscoping at 4 p.m. I will be delivering the eulogy for my stepson, my 18-year-old stepson who died on Sunday because of a fentanyl overdose. Maybe from China. So fentanyl China, the country of great shame. They should bow its head in complete shame is likely the cause of the death of my stepson. Not certainly but likely. And they must live with forever shame for being that country. Fentanyl China. I'm always going to put that name in front of them. They're just fentanyl China. They're not even China. Fentanyl China. That's the first thing you think about somebody who's killing 30,000 of your people a year.

If China is killing 30,000 people a year or something like that with their illegal fentanyl then I think fentanyl should be their first name. Not a good assumption says JP. Well I don't know which one you're making but apparently much of the illegal fentanyl comes from China. There's other stuff coming from other places south of the border as well I know.

At three o'clock they will say their vote. What's that mean? Will that make it into your eulogy? No it will not.
