i know last year when you moved bills on harvey, it went better than what happened with hurricane sandy. and in this pending need after the hurricane here, do you think that -- [indiscernible] >> you will probably have to do a supplemental bill and moved past what kinds of bill the sandy bill a few years ago? the speaker: there were things in the sandy bill that members didn't think it deserved to be in a disaster supplemental bill. the harvey and maria bills were much cleaner bills and also we have plused up the fema accounts. so right now, fema has money in the pipeline. i think we are better prepared. you never know what is going to be needed until you have gone through a disaster. in the realm of possibilities, of course it is. they are disasters that we don't forget. we have the disaster relief fund. but sometimes big storms exceed those averages and we appropriately respond. over the last two supplementals, i think we had much cleaner bills getting the aid where it was needed and we are doing a better job omit gation and get -- the wrda bill is passing today which is water infrast

we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths.t do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were

those bills have been cleaned up since then. the harvey and maria bills are what i call much cleaner bills. and also, we have plused up the fema account. right now, fema has money in the pipeline. i think we're better prepared on the front-end of this. you would never know what's going to be needed until you've gone through the disaster. so is it in the realm of possibility we will have a supplemental? of course it is because disasters are just that. they are disasters that we don't predict. we have the disaster relief fund that operates on rolling averages, but sometimes big storms exceed those averages and then we appropriately respond. with the last two supplementals, which these members are very involved in, i think we had much cleaner bills that were focused getting the aid where it needed to be. more importantly, i think we're doing a better job on mitigation, trying to get infrastructure built. the wrda bill, water infrastructure, which is one of our better way for infrastructure, but also helps provide mitigation so that levees don

there is no way i could do .nything andee this with bill cosby harvey weinstein. it is a matter to be taken seriously. and have a system that is so unfair to the accused then we cannot really deal with what the real problem is. i agree. host: rick. hello rick. caller: my question is for the guest. why is the fbi done six investigations? how come they didn't bring this up? republicans are want to give all of the information. because they might be part of the investigation. so they had the information because all of a sudden they women -- either women are lying or something is going on. they had this prepared. and also, republicans are hypocrites. they would tell obama's domination -- they withheld upon examination for a year and their whining about what the democrats are doing? it was the attic the way they act. guest: let me correct you. all, probably the last when he was put on the court of appeals here in the district of columbia. and just like i was, with the various jobs you have in the government, you go through a different background check. so there's no way

bill cosby is in prison. >> those are high-profile celebrities. >> harvey weinstein is indicted.oming. >> joe, no doubt there has been a slew of high-profile white men that have been held accountable for sexual assault. it's taken way too long. but there are thousands of white men who benefit from white privilege who are still in positions of power, who are not held accountable. and the sentiment that people are expressing -- and i wanted bill cosby to be held accountable, just like i want any sexual predator to be held accountable. it doesn't matter what your race is, what your ethnicity is. if you are a sexual predator, should you be prosecuted and in prison. no doubt about that. but we should not be having a conversation about brett kavanaugh using words like youthful indiscretion and giving him the benefit of the doubt and not allowing the women to be believed in this situation if we're going to hold men like bill cosby, harvey weinstein accountable. >> who is not allowing her to be believed, though? many people believe her. many people don't. i personally don't know what hap

those bills have been cleaned up since then. the harvey and maria bills are what i call much cleaner bills. and also, we have plused up the fema account. right now fema has money in the pipeline. i think we're better prepared on the front line of this. you would never know what's going to be needed until you've gone through the disaster. so is it in the realm of possibility we will have a supplemental? of course it is because disasters that we don't predict. we have the disaster relief fund that operates on rolling averages but sometimes big storms exceed those averages and then we appropriately respond. last two splulls which these members are very involved in, i think we had much cleaner bills that were focused getting the aid where it needed to be. more importantly, i think we're doing a better job on mitigation, trying to get infrastructure built. the wrda bill, water infrastructure, which is one of our better way for infrastructure, it helps provide mitigation so that levees don't break, so bayous are built, so reservoirs are construc

the metoo movement is so important that folks like harvey weinstein are called out, that bill cosby are called out. but then it's weaponized, people with six different fbi background checks have shown to be a reputable person, one folks across the spectrum, both genders, you name it, all races, in which there is no pattern of serial activity, the presumption is he is guilty because that's the spirit of the age. that's wrong, it can happen to anybody and at some point we have to look at a life's work and judge it against someone else's end if i judge kavanaugh again avenatti, i will go a kavanaugh. >> harris: do you think a vote with just the senate judiciary committee, i know it's being reported that this is the big vote but it's just the committee, do you think the schedule should be upheld or should be there be any delay to take into account anybody else who has come forward in the last couple of days or even our? >> lets recognize that if diane feinstein had come forward, it would have been discussed confidentially. senator feinstein is reportedly the one that leaked it to the press,

who are upset over bill cosby's incarceration, they're upset because he hasn't been able to escape incarceration the way privileged white men have. >> what do you say to people like harveyuer -- >> losing your job is one thing but what people are saying is -- scan the internet. people are saying that bill cosby is being held to a higher standard than white people. and i'm saying -- >> and they're saying to this president and brett kavanaugh. and by the way, it was cosby's team that made the connection -- >> i've got to make the point because i don't want people to misunderstand what i'm saying. i don't want bill cosby -- >> let me finish because i -- >> what i'm saying is we need to raise the bar so that privileged white men are held accountable for sex al salt. we shouldn't be trying to get bill cosby off. we're -- >> i think we're there, right? >> no. >> we're not there at all? >> no. >> privileged white people are not now being held responsible for sexual assault? harvey weinstein. any actor in hollywood who gets accused, loses their job and career's gone without a burden of proof being established. no due process. >> you're totally -- >> hold on-a reva. just to push

saying that was when you saw top executives resigning, you saw individuals like the arrest of bill cosby, harveyo with my own personal journey and my personal story, it's a really unique time, but you know, now it's time to actually change institutions, and in order to do that, you have to elect new leadership, promote new leadership that actually cares about this issue, and that it's something that would factor into their vote. >> now, help me understand. you are running as a republican. to be a republican woman in the trump republican party, that's got to be a little bit weird at different times. how do you think about these issues? as somebody who's a strong pro-woman voice in a party that seems to not always be with you. >> well, i think my concern is that we should never politicize this issue. combatting sexual violence, combatting domestic violence should transcend politics, period. >> you have some of your republican colleagues who are now in the senate, murkowski, susan collins, jeff flake, do you have any words of advice or any requests or anything that you would want to say to the swin

i think this is a very serious issue in our society and we have seen this with bill cosby and harvey weinstein. the letter needs to be taken seriously. if we just jump and have a system that is so unfair to the accused, then we cannot really deal with what the real problem is. i agree with you. rick.hi, caller: good morning. my question is to the guest with you. i is sayinge the six investigations? how come they did not bring this up. i think what it is, republicans don't want to give out information because that might be part of the investigation so they are basically hiding the information. all of a sudden, they come up with 65 women. who comes up with 65 women? either the women are lying or some thing is going on and they had is already prepared. arealso, the republicans hypocrites. they would tell obama -- they withheld obama's nomination for a year and now are whining about what the democrats are doing. that is all i have to say. guest: let me correct you. speaking of the republicans hiding the information and the six back on a very -- six back on investigations. the last one wa

those bills have been cleaned up since then. the harvey and maria bills were much cleaner bills.have plussed the fema account. i am not sure we should feel as comfortable as the outlook was presented today. vonnie: the spread you points, we2.5 basis are away from crisis levels. how much are you concerned about it becoming a real problem and how much it is a specific problem for italy and that the european union needs to look at these deficit targets? >> my concern is that we have because ofitioned the exceptionally high spreads in 2011 and 2012 to consider spreads of 200 to 300 basis points are not crisis levels. as a matter of fact, the euro area is unsustainable if other things are equal. gives does theat european union have to be more lenient with countries that are finding it hard to adjust? that,ind it interesting in the way you pose your question, you left the ecb out of it. isa matter of fact, the ecb a major, biggest player determining how fragile government bond markets are. the ecb on its own, with a discretionary decisions that would be better suited for the euro area,

. >> let's not compare harvey weinstein and bill cosby to what's happened here. >> you're saying that society, media or someone is looking at these things through a political lens. >> i think this week was that way. and it shouldn't be that way. >> it hasn't been that way in the last year. i don't disagree with you about what you're saying about clinton and his behavior and -- >> it shouldn't be a footnote. what about those women? >> there was a huge investigation. brett kavanaugh worked on that investigation. and he was very strongly of the opinion that bill clinton needed to answer for what he did. >> do you know what a liberal democratic woman told me this week who supports brett kavanaugh because she worked with him for a long time? she said kellyanne, i'm so -- everybody is so emotionally drain orded or disgusted based the range of emotions. >> or both. >> or both. i feel badly for brett kavanaugh. i think the democrats could have avoided all of this just by coming forward earlier and asking dr. ford and/or judge kavanaugh in those private phone calls. this woman got a say becaus

i mean, look at what's happening with les moonves, look at harvey weinstein, bill cosby.ist goes on. >> the president. >> what about clinton? if you want to go there. what about bill clinton. what do you mean, come on? i don't want to go there. we're talking about kavanaugh and kavanaugh should be confirmed. >> noelle and mike, thank you to both of you for a spirited conversation. i appreciate it. >>> we'll are have much more on the breaking news at the top of the hour, why the woman who accused judge kavanaugh of sexual abuse has decided to come forward and tell her story on the heels of his confirmation vote. ♪ i put a spell on you ♪ yeah, because you're mine ♪ with chase atms serena can now grab cash on the go, all with the tap of her phone. ♪ stop the things you do no card? no problem. life, lived serena's way. chase, make more of what's yours. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist

also, by the way, the cases involve people like bill cosby, the harvey weinsteins, the cases involving the me too have allowed the american people to understand that there are real reasons why there are delayed reports of sexual assault and that the factors that would be dismiss i have perhaps for anita hill in 1991 where there's the victim shaming and the inn credulity displayed in people reporting these things will likely not be here to the same degree for dr. ford. it's sad that she will still face the anguish of having to testify and have her life on display, but she, unlike brett kavanaugh, is not chosen that particular role, she's asking to be heard, he's asking to have a lifetime appointment. >> so then there's this other strange wrinkle to all of this which is if it's just her memory against his memory, obviously the lawmakers will have to decide who they find most credible, but there was a third person who she says was there at the moment who witnessed it who was actually involved in part in the assault by, you know, laying on top of the two of them and that is this guy named

without getting into some of the debates about playboy parties in the 70s and bill cosby, i think hugh hefner was no harvey weinstein but the kind of sexual revolution he ushered in by placing sexuality and sex itself and sexual gratification and the orgasm though close to the heart of what the good life was supposed to be, it was not a restriction coincidence that that led in directions that have many women sitting up and wondering whether this is all that was cracked up to be. i'll leave things there. thank you. >> we're going to be able to take a couple of, maybe one question from the audience. we have five minutes left but i did want to vis-c-vis your last point which was talking about philosophy and one quote that i took away from iran's interview in playboy was she was talking about obviously hefner was unabashed, unequivocal, explicit component of hedonism and when i randy was asked about hedonism, she said the good is whatever gives you pleasure and therefore pleasure is your standard of morality. objectivism holds that the good must be defined by a rational standard of value so in a way, if hedoni
