mitch lynn starred ogm, one of moon's favorites, a place where traditio traditional cuisine is given a modern makeover. >> joining us is korean american strategist -- while my buddy knows -- he's not what i would call an influencer. i need her to understand -- >> how long have you guys known each other. >> i was 19. >> he's way more formal in korea than in the u.s. >> his koreanness comes out. >> cheers, guys. >> cheers. >> it was great. >> nice to meet you guys. >> so your work is especially like building brands, knowing what the cool kids are into. i guess, tie brands to consumers in the most natural way possible. >> but to do that you have to understand the culture well. >> you have to be a part of it to be a consumer. >> from what i understand, cream culture is a bit of a paradox, one super traditional, but also super modern. i'm seeing that play out in the field here, for dinner we are having brace your ribs, and a famous korean korean rice dish -- they're elevated and refined to their purest form. korea is evolving, but mow? where is it going next? >>eeia was a poor undeveloped

. >> okay and, mitch, lynn wants to know this why don't airlines adopt requirement like cdl medical serment, commercial driver's licenses and doctors who do that may not be the person's private position. that program modelled now after the faa's program will be a requirement to have that independent physicians actually giving that information to the government. you can't always get the information that you want from the individual though and that's the -- that's the crux of this matter is that all of these, commercial driver's licenses faa pilot certificates and all of this requires the individual to give to the system. >> all self-reporting. >> and, here's another question. couldn't airlines move to drone technology if something happens like this someone on the ground comes online and takes over? >> well let me put the question back to the person that asked it. are you comfortable with not having anybody in the cockpit or just one person in the cockpit? i think the answer is not so much. >> i wonder if they mean more in overriding strg strange is happening, and someone on the ground ta

but the true upper hand is with mitch mcconnell who has the power to call the vote. >> lynn sweet, thanknnell sounding very confident at the voters conference this weekend. >>> and now the ramifications of hurricane florence getting wars. -- getting worse from conway. >> reporter: good morning. the water is starting to creep into these neighborhoods, and it's only going to get worse. coming up after the break, we'll tell you how high the water is expected to rise. you typing in the coordinates? no, i'm paying my brother back before we get going. he scored me a billy big mouth bass. the singing wall fish? for the man cave. i love those things! [take me to the river...] [drop me in the water ...] secure mobile banking from navy federal credit union... our members are the mission. douglas! we're running dangerously low on beans. people love your beans, doug. they love 'em. doooooooooug! you want to go sell some tacos? progressive knows small business makes big demands. doug, where do we get a replacement chili pepper bulb? so we'll design the insurance solution that fits your business. it's

lynne cheney. >> lindsey graham and nikki haley, and mitch mcconnell all saying the same thing. >> right. >> youw that is quite a quartet. >> a senior u.s. defense official tells cnn this incursion already had a detrimental effect on our counterisis operations. how likely is this in the aftermath of this and peter who if not the kurds would jump in and help the u.s. if and whn that happens? >> well, one of the reasons we supported the kurds, the only force with sufficient ground capacity to take out cities like raqqah. talking about a 60,000-person force. the answer is, you know, we don't have allies like that in the area. but, you know, officials of the united nations have put the number of isis fighters that remain at 20,000. so they haven't all disappeared. they're biding their time, coming back in places like iraq. so you know, we face the real possibility of an isis resurgence and have seen this movie before where were americans forces pulled oust iraq end of 2011 helping pave the way for isis to take much of the country. >> peter bergen, thank you for your insight in this part of the world

unfair nor inaccurate to point out that the president has been tougher on mitch mcconnell than putin or nazis in the last 24 hours. lynnh that? >> i do. >> the president doesn't have a problem bullying his own republican colleagues or even calling out cnn, the washington post, the "new york times" as an enemy of the people. yet, the white supremacists are not the enemy of the people? >> that goes to what i'm saying. jeff sessions, republican senators, the reason that i am critical and others are raising questions about why he didn't call out white spremists isn't because he doesn't know how to. we know, as you just mentioned, he clearly knows how to call out people. he did not want to do this is telling. he has had time to correct. he has been talking far more to the united states press corps in the last few days than he has in weeks. he had a conference on monday where if he does not address white supremacy -- i just want to underscore this. this is not just a clash of two sides where we're not sure why it started or it was a protest over something else. this was a rally call by white spremists. >> lynn sweet, appreci

really agree with the unhinged conspiracy theorists such as pro trump attorney lynn wood who was calling for the arrest of mitchreason and predicting vice president pence will face execution by firing squad. it's difficult as we've noted before on this show to distinguish in this era among those who lie for opportunity reasons, those worried about facing the wrath of president trump. they put their career survival ahead of their constitutional obligations. those who are not quite smart enough to understand what they're doing. and those who have psychological needs that i'm not qualified to diagnose. what is clear is that while joe biden will be sworn in on january 20th, the united states is in a dangerous place. with too many members of the current ruling party, the republicans, throwing in with the lynne woods. siding with insanity over objective fact. and the momentum seems to be with them. not with the mcconnells or cheneys, thunes, romneys, sasses. what do you think would be going on right now if congressman kevin mccarthy, the house minority leader were speaker of the house? you think the house of represen

appearing to be, as mike pence and mitch mcconnell are, really unsympathetic to this, and having already made up their minds because he's going to win because as lynn says, the math is in their favor, i think does them no favors either. i think whether he gets confirmed or withheld, neither side got through this cleanly. and i think both sides are going to look as if they mishandled this. >> a quick point here. >> quickly. >> two words, al franken. the democrats jumped on him, jumped on their own, very controversial, but they took swift action, controversial as it was at the time. so i don't know, you can't really say that they're not very aware in this era of "me too" of taking action. >> they're not aware of keith ellison, the dnc is not independently investigating. they're investigating him themselves. >> let me talk more about brett kavanaugh, the situation at hand, page. the president has insinuated ford is lying about the attack because she and her parents didn't file a police report 36 years ago. as an attorney, what do you make of that argument? >> ana, it's very familiar. defense lawyers for defendants charged with a crime like this will o

gorsuch's confirmation, they got rid of the filibuster, and mitch mcconnell used the nuclear option, and what are the options for democrats at that point, lynn? >> one option is to first hold careful carefully, hold in the group the senators up for re-election who are targeted by trump and most particularly senator heidi heig heitkamp. and so, another thing that the democrats can do as using as l rallying cry for 2018 and maybe spilling into 2020 to use to get votes, but it is going to be hard to stop the process from going on and with it sooner or later a vote on the trump nominee, because mcconnell controls what is called. on the other hand, he won't call a vote unless he knows that he has the votes. if he has 50, do not underestimate the anger of democrats at mcconnell and his kind of the self-righteous comments a little bit about the obstructionists when he stopped president obama's pick merrick garland as matt noted and made up a rule to impose, that we can't do it in the last year of the presidency. and the democrat s as are sayin hey, we have an election in 2018 and this is an election year, and we can't do it in 2018 even though it i

lynn talked about of republican establishments. names i heard most often was a loathing of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell.stance now, i don't know if at the end of the day the republican voters of alabama or the voters at large will go ahead and say the voices of these women who have come out and said that roy moore either pursued them as teenagers or assaulted them matters less than having a republican house, i don't know if they'll say this. i think there is something to the idea that they're willing to accept anything not the status quo. every single republican and democratic lawmaker is going to be asked if they're comfortable having that man brokering des with him and working with him on legislation. >> moore's lawyers made the argument it's a conspiracy between the gop establishment and the accusers. somehow they got around a table and decided to take him down. i want to talk about something else. the president before he went out golfing tweeted renewing his fight with lavar ball. you saw these tweets this morning accusing lavar ball of being a poor man's version of dob king but without the hair. ag

. >> you call him a modern day lynn d johnson in your opinion piece but there's a huge divide going on with this bill. how does mitchell bridge this gap and what is it about his reputation that everybody is still pretty confident, not everybody, but many people are still confident that he can get these senators in line. >> johnson spent most of his time in the majority trying to get legislation through. mcconnell has never really done that. he has been someone who has spent his entire career as a leader obstructing. this is a very different task. this is about stitching together different factions of your party to do something rather than to say no and it also entails having some kind of public role as an advocate for the bill. so that little moment is exactly the problem. he's not saying why this legislation is good, why americans will benefit from it. he's saying health care is complicated. that's not very compelling when on the other side they're saying 22 million people have about to lose their health care coverage so i'm not convinced he has the skills that it takes to be something beyond an obstructionist. >>

senator majority leader mitch mcconnell will not not move towards the lynn. and there's problems with bill. controversial abortion language na democrats don't like and they're holding up that bill. so we do know from democratic and republican sources, though fred there could be room for compromise on that human trafficking bill. that means that this could potentially pave the way to hold a vote on loretta lynch's nomination some point next week. >> we'll see. thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> still ahead -- brand-new video of a man stealing a gun from walmart just moments before a police officer rams his cruiser into the man walking on the street. but that's not the only thing that's new. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help. all t

because mitch knows all too well, senator mcconnell has been there for a long time, he knows how this game is played, and he knows that if you don't spend the money, everything that lynnust said, i won't repeat, but he knows this. so when he is saying what he is saying, he is being disingenuous. in order to sell it. the president came out and owned this. he said he would be happy to shut it down. said it was his shutdown. >> and it is difficult to walk that back. >> well, no, how do you walk that back? >> i mean he is saying it, and so are other republicans who are supporting him, who are saying, yes, it is on the democrats, you own this. but the president said he owns it. >> but fred, he has walked everything back at one point or another, since he's been there. since day one. when they showed his picture and said that the inaugural crowd was the largest ever. they create the facts. and then they want us to report them. it is a long cry from where it was, when reagan, larry said, speak, don't tell us how to stage the news and we won't tell you how to report the news. this administration wants to stage it and change how it is reporting. this is not news. this is how tr

lynn park, kansas says "no. and when you say no one is willing to talk about it. have you heard ron paul or mitch daniels?ng about it are obama and his administration. where's harry reid, nancy pelosi and the president on his state-of-the-union address? pete in florida writes "of course not but they will while each party points its fingers at the other for their incredible dishonesty. incompetence and lack of character. what a charade." you want to read more on this go to my blog, cnn.com/cafferty file or through our post on the situation room's facebook page. >> thanks, jack. thanks very much. see you tomorrow. it's a bird, it's a plane, and no, they're people flying almost. jeanne moos is next. this is an rc robotic claw. my high school science teacher made me what i am today. our science teacher helped us build it. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller. over the last three years we've put nearly 100 million dollars into american education. that's thousands of kids learning to love science. ♪ isn't that cool? and tha

mitch daniels could be back in. >> hrudey giuliani told piers morgan he'll make an end by the end of september. don't forget there's a former vice presidential nominee whose name happens to be sarah pay lynnghing in. >> absolutely. there's a lot of money on the sleens, a lot of accomplishment republicans still looking for a candidate. my guess is we're see a couple more candidates and the field will probably settle down. >> she means bush republicans who don't like rick perry, and other republicans who are establishment who don't like, for whatever reason, mitt romney. >> what whaer's what it's going to come down to, h 1/2 or 5 months. we have a long way to go before the first person establishes the first caucus. >> not that long. >> it's five months away. >> goes quickly. okay, finish your thought. >> but i really think is going to happen when it comes down to actually pulling the lever or handing in your card, people are going to say which of these people can beat barack obama? and the ideology and all the other things are going to fade a little bit into the background. forefront will be what do the head to head poles say. >> h who's more of a threat front-runners right now whether it's

mitch mcconnell can run it up. the kae for alison grimes. a long way to count, just starting. there's your first blue county starting to come in in the frank lynn just attainy percentage of the vote. >> the number are just coming in from those polls that are closed. all the polls will be closed at the top of the hour. we'll have a better sense of what's going. on we'll have some exit poll information. we'll be able to share with our viewers. let's go back to you. >> let's talk more with our panel. why has the race been close? if this is a republican area in a republican state. >> well, it's anti-washington versus anti-obama. mitch mcconnell has been a fixture in washington for three decades. people hate washington. and it is the same in kentucky as it is everywhere else in the country. the question is, between, you know, grimes, he has attached her to obama at the hip so it is the lesser of two evils for these voters. and he could survive it because he is going around the state saying, look, i'm going to have a lot of authority, a lot of power, particularly if we take over the senate. i can do things for this state. he did have very hey negativ
