gloria allred, we have two cases here. can you explain how this will pan out?80 women who have gone public with accusations of one kind or another. what is going to happen? i believe it is a deal 90 women who have gone public. right now the two felony charges pending against him, on which he was arraigned this morning, rian relation to two victims. —— are in relation. however, 80 or 90 have spoken out. it could be that at the trial, other accusers whom the prosecution have asked to testify, who would also be able to testify to same or similar types of behaviour, that they would testify harvey weinstein engaged in as to them. and that is what happened in the criminal case involving bill cosby. five what we call prior bad act witnesses were permitted to testify. i represented three of the five accusers who were so three of the five accusers who were so permitted. there was a scorched earth type of defence where there was an attempt to smear them and discredit them by the defence, it didn't work, the jury convicted bill cosby and something very similar may occui’

. >> actress in a that'sia joins me now along with her attorney gloria allred.n some time to join us. what is your reaction having seen the arrest of harvey weinstein last week and the defenses that his lawyers are putting out in this case? >> i think it's a very complex situation. my first reaction to the visual images were, you know -- i -- i felt very uncomfortable and i find it sad and the first thing that came to my mind were children, you know, seeing their dad handcuffed and i don't think anybody could feel good about that having kids see that and being that kind of situation. so that's -- that was my first reaction. >> so you empathized with him as a human being going through this situation on friday, i would say, apart from your history with him. you've alleged that he basically tried to get you to exchange sex for a potential career opportunities? >> i think -- you know, i received script the day after the incident and i call it the shut your mouth script and i -- i believe that abusing your power to such an extent is extremely violent against a woman

to that, gloria allred an attorney who has been representing many women who have alleged improper sexual advances from harvey weinstein -- she had this to say about that. >> what happens now is that this is only the first day. he has a very experienced defense attorney, but there is a process. he will get a fair trial. for me, the question is will the victims also get a fair trial? those persons who are named as victims as the criminal case? he is released on bail. his passport is taken. so he is going to be very closely monitored. this is a process. >> it is a process that is expected to go on for some time, david. and as part of that process was the deal that he made that he would be out on $1 million cash bail. he does have a gps which is monitoring his whereabouts but he has been given permission to go between new york and connecticut, where he also has a residence. but anywhere outside of those boundaries he will have to get permission from law enforcement authorities in order to do that. again, this is beginning of what is expected to be a very long process for harvey weinstein. >>

our deterrence if you cross the red line of allred lines and use a nuclear weapon, we will respond overwhelmingly. we want to make sure it never happens. building low-yield task particular call weapons is a mistake and we need to increase the dialogue between our country and russia and china and north korea, to make sure there is not a miscalculation. but overall, i think this is a good product. i look forward to the amendment debate. and i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. thornberry: i yield three minutes to the chairman of the subcommittee on readiness, mr.wilson. mr. wilson: i rise in strong support of h.r. 5515, the national defense authorization act for 2019. i appreciate chairman thornberry achieving a bipartisan success in the committee with 60 yes votes and one no vote. this bill contains significant policy and funding initiatives to provide the military resources necessary to assure readiness. the bill authorizes additional funding for equipment and weapons systems maintenance, spare parts and training needed

the accuser's attorney gloria allred said the client was assaulted multiple times by associates at aer in 2017. court papers say brown and his associates are actually -- brown's associates barricaded the victim inside the bedroom. the client has spoken to the police but no charges have been filed. nbc has reached out to brown's management but received no response. brown is no stranger to legal troubles. most notably in 2009 following the beating of his then girlfriend pop star rihanna. >> a polish highway was shutdown by a sticky situation. a tanker carrying 12 tons of liquid chocolate flipped over. you see the sugary mess covered all four lanes of the highway. officials reportedly described the slippery surface as a worse hazard than snow. firefighters cleaned it for hours. they had to use steams of hot water to melt all that stuff off. it remains unclear what caused the accident. the driver was treated for a broken arm, fortunately no one else was hurt. >> break out the fondue with the chocolate. there is a panda reminding us no matter how you fall, you always get back up. this is

democrats will target this race with colin allred. in texas those are the stories tonight.adlines, you said historic. in the democratic race for governor stacey abrams becomes the first black female nominee for governor. she won overwhelmingly over stacey evans. abrams was the favorite, not expected to be by this margin. the theory behind the abrams campaign, you hear so much about democrats in the trump era, win back trump voters, win back republicans, reach out to folks who have maybe given up on the democratic party. abrams says basically it's about exciting democratic constituencies, democratic voters, nonwhites, young people, single women. it's not necessarily about reaching out to trump voters, it's about expanding the democratic pie. her opponent, we'll find out. there's going to be a runoff on the republican side, cagle and kemp. in kentucky, democrats have a chance to flip a congressional seat in kentucky. this was the candidate recruiting by the democratic campaign committee in washington. this is the woman who won, an upset. amy mcgrath, a former fighter pilot. s

. >> summer's lawyer is gloria allred who of course just won the only conviction currently.omeone saying me too has gone too far, i want you to know there has been only one conviction. if i were donald trump i would be very, very scared. >> right. and summer has a legal team with multiple lawyers as you mentioned. gloria started this off with her in 2016. it was also, if we are going to get into the weeds, it was counter-suits of defamation against mr. cosby that initially led to the disclosure around the quaaludes that then led to the criminal case. you are both making -- go ahead. >> in the same way, the cosby allegations were out there. people knew them. in the same way that before the me too moment we were talking about this stuff. we knew it. we simply as a society didn't care to treat these women like their stories mattered. we are in a different place now in 2018 than we were in 2016 when it first came in. >> right. and to end on the same song we began with from liz, wait for the kicker. maybe we'll keep waiting for the kicker. thank you both. jess mcintosh and liz pl

our approach should be the nuclear weapons are the red line end to allred lines. there is no such thing as a tactical nuclear weapon. even these tactical nuclear weapons that the gentleman talks about russia having i think are some hundred times over more powerful than the bomb that was dropped on hire shisha. what we need to -- hiroshima. what we need to communicate to russia is, if you use a nuclear weapon we will respond with nuclear weapons. so don't. we don't need to build small nuclear weapons so that military people can start to imagine a survivable nuclear war. and this is the way people used to think in the 1960's and 1970's when we came tiptoeing up very close on more than one occasion to stumbling in to the conflict to end all conflicts, a nuclear war. if we start buying in to russia's philosophy that a low-yield nuclear weapon is like a manageable thing that you can use in a combat situation, that doesn't necessarily lead it a broader nuclear weapon, we are running the risk of creating the very thing we're trying to prevent. we need a deterrent. we hav

collin allred, who the new triple c has put on our red to blue program, which means we think it's theitive candidate. he's a tennessee titans, former nfl player. went on to become a successful lawyer and just grew up in this district and really embodies the district. >> martha: hillary clinton as we said it had a big event. i think it's interesting because she said that she thought that women who voted for trump were just listening to their husbands and she thinks women should not be afraid to elect a woman and yet in the new york race she's not backing cynthia nixon, she's backing andrew cuomo. what's that about? >> i can't speak to her decision. i just know that governor cuomo and secretary clinton go way back i can't really speak to that. i know that our democratic candidates feel very strongly about earning the trust of every voter whether they voted for trump or secretary clinton, and we won't be able to win back the house without their support, so we are working and earning their trust. >> martha: it's going to be fascinating to watch. thank you very much. good to have you here

surprise, i received letters of encouragement from hillary clinton, from linda ellerbe, and from gloria allred an early age, she was a girl you can say had a moral compass. that is so say, she knew what was right and what was wrong. her mother, doria, was very instrumental in that. even at schools. she would, for example, organize demonstrations against the gulf war. she would write letters to companies complaining about their sexist advertising. so way before she became a public figure she was an activist. >> and she actually went on to become an advocate for women at the u.n. and i think when you see her talking about issues like this very close to her heart, you get a real sense of the passion and the determination she has to see change in the world. ♪ >> translator: i used to go to school. i would hike too back because i dropped out. >> getting water for the family, she gets to school late. also getting sick regularly because of the water infections. >> i'm so sorry. this is the water that she's going through all this work to get. keeping her out of school and making her sick as well. so t
