charles coffey, contacted me to speak at the law school of oral roberts university in tulsa, oklahoma. anita hill, who is from tulsa, oklahoma accompanied me on that trich. -- trip. anita hill accompanied me on this trip primarily because this was an opportunity to combine business and a visit to her home. as i recall, during our visit at oral roberts university, mr. coffey mentioned to me the possibility of approaching anita hill to join the faculty at oral roberts university law school. i encouraged him to do so and noted to him, as i recall, that anita hill would do well in teaching. i recommended her highly and she eventually was offered a teaching position. although i did not see anita hill often after thee left eeoc i did see her on one or two subsequent visits to tulsa oklahoma. and on one visit, i believe she drove me to the airport. i also occasionally received telephone calls from her. she would speak directly with me or with my secretary diane holt. since anita hill and diane holt had been with me at the department of education, they were fairly close personally, and i beli

kendall coffey, former us attorney who worked alongside brett kavanaugh joins me with his take on thisate it. you know him personally. do you think he can be nonpartisan in his decisions and backup what he promises? >> i believe he will be nonpartisan and principles. he stated yesterday he would bring the cases with an open mind, possibly the only one in the room with an open mind and i think while he has a conservative philosophy to be sure, very aware of the supreme court's role in history as an institution and he meant what he said, he does not want it to be part of a partisan instrumentality associated with one party or the other. he emphasized too which i have not heard in many discussions that he wants to be part of a tween 9 member team, not affection of 5 justices consistently voting as a block. i think he sincerely means to work with other justices and listen to them and develop a philosophy that is best for the country. >> can i ask about him personally? when he was finally able to make a statement yesterday, to listen to him talking about his mom and his dad and his children

attorney, kendall coffey. let's go right to you, lee. you have been covering rod rosenstein for a year and a half now, since he initially got this job as deputy attorney general. tonight, i just want to play for you a short montage of a variety of pundits claiming per "the washington post" that this conversation about wearing a wire and getting other people to wear a wire, this is all just a joke. let's watch. >> if the words were said, it seems more likely they were said in some sort of sarcastic or exasperated way rather than as a serious plan to actually wire up and go into do this. this does not give any grounds at all in terms of any action of rosenstein's that justifies firing him. >> it makes sense to me that maybe he could have made a crack about it. >> it is important to see this story about rosenstein and the "times" and they are part of the declassification issue. >> laura: explain that. >> we have seen since monday when the president said he was going to declassify documents. over the last week, "the new york times," abc news

we're also joined by kendall coff coffey, a former u.s. attorney. that is quite amusing.'ve been hearing, it's coming, it's coming, there's something coming. i don't think mueller's office is leaking anything. they've been pretty tight. is this just a case of desperate wishful thinking on the part of the media? >> i think they thought we're now two months away from the beginning of the election. and they say you shouldn't have matters that might interfere with voting or the election or put a thumb on voting within two months. so this was a time when maybe something would have happened. but i think today what's happened is news reporting has become part of the adversary system. kendall and i are used to the adversary system. he's one of the great lawyers. he was my lawyer, in fact. once -- one side presents its view, the other side presents its view and then a judge decides. that's what's happening with journalism today. >> and, kendall, we're going to play -- we have a couple of sound bites. this guy has been around for a while now. but this is what constitutes reporting

but look for coffey vending machines to start appearing soon at gas stations and college campus, lookingines. >>> last-minute votes today at the state capital. coming up next a look at the bills waiting on the governor brown's desk that could impact everything from take-out food to children's menus. >> and in weather, lots of sunshine today across most of the bay area. the one exception, parts of the coast where you have some fog trying to regroup. coming up, we'll let you know if this plays a role in our weekend holiday forecast. that's coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> the state legislature wraps up its 2018 law making session today and governor brown prepares for layoffs. ktvu's tom vacar joins us from the newsroom with what is on tap to go into law next year. >> reporter: we won't know for sure for hours because there's a lot of procrastination and the loss day of the session. provided he signs them into law, here's what's likely to affect us. >>> reporter: on his desk ready for the governor's signature he will decide the following. if california becomes the first state to limit the use of plas

tommy, craig, shavon, hines, mildred coffey, knowledge kendricks, and valerie already left, and then christie alex randolph and eric mcdonald. so those are the last speakers. >> once again i come before you to speak about two issues that have two public comment cards. one would be the monroe situation. i have been here before you guys before speaking on this, letting you know that it would become a problem that will continue to spiral downhill if not addressed, and now when i came to speak in the first place, it was for students, and now we're up to 12. so i feel like i'm sounding a warning here, and nobody's listening. hopefully, with the backing of the rest of the people from the monroe community, y'all will listen and hear us, that this is a crisis situation, and it definitely needs to be addressed. this is a pivotal time for our youth. they are about to enter middle school, and they do not have permanency to develop a bond with their teacher. so i will reiterate that and i'm here to support the monroe families. i'm also here to support balboa families and our community at large.

kendall coffey and i understand the adversary system. one side presents its view of the facts. the other side presents its view of the facts and then a judge or a jury decides. that's what is happening with journalism today. wishful thinking substitutes often for capital analysis. >>sm laura: kendall, we have a couple of different george stephanopoulous sound bites. he used to work for thero clintons. he's been around for awhile. that is what constitutes reporting today. let's watch! >> the new york attorney general filed suit against the trump foundation which could lead to a criminal referral. manhattan district attorney considering charges against the trump organization. a trump facing lawsuits in maryland andti d.c. over the substitution of monuments clause and of course special counsel robertal mueller investigating possible collusion with russia and the obstruction of justice. will any off the investigations lay the groundwork for impeachment proceedings in congress? >> laura:nd nothing's changed. nothing's changed. we're reporting it breathlessly like this is all new stu
