he was -- i met brett kavanaugh. he work for ken starr, i was a less smart and less young writer doing legal analysis of the star report and impeachment proceedings, and the starr moment ways a real turning point for brett kavanaugh. in law school hi friends had a vague understanding he was guy who what consecutive, probably republican, but he wasn't hugely conservative. wasn't the standout conservative on the campus. in fact, he was the first year law student that fall when the bork nomination was being debated and nobody can remember him expressing a view on that, which was the talk of the cam pulse. judge bork had been an steamed professor at jail law. he was a good, solid law student, not a law student that any of this pastes thought would end up on the supreme court one day and then an amazing piece of luck came his way. he had been clerking for a perfectly respectable judge named what at the staple g.o.p. an opportunity arose that changed his life. there were some judges who are feed ever judges, who regularly

the confirmation process after that astonishing day that we all remember when blasey ford and brett kavanaugh testified about her allegations and the fbi was doing i would say to quickly concluding its investigation and judge kavanaugh seemed to be hurdling and in fact was hurtling toward confirmation. i've been looking for the right book to ride for a few years now writing a book was on my bucket list and the kavanaugh confirmation exploded tonight tonight.two things. one was here's a great behind-the-scenes story for all the fantastic reporting that my colleagues have proposed around the cabin on nomination. it's a great worry about what's going on behind the scenes here and the second which i will talk about more is that this is a story that is bigger than brett kavanaugh. so story about the court and a three decade long conservative effort to find. lisa: control over the courts which is what was achieved with the kavanaugh confirmation. so i hope when you read the book that you will decide that i've achieved both of those goals that i have taken you behind-the-scenes and that i have told

it was brett kavanaugh. w n president trump surprised all of us and became became president trump, brett kavanaugh homicide a problem. he wasn't on that list. one of the people i report in "supreme ambition" who went to bat for him was justice anthony kenned he had clerked for justice anthony kennedy. desperate eveto convince justice kennedy that it would be safe to retihe, and wn justice kennedy came to the white house to swear in neil gorch, president trump's first choice to the supreme court, he asked for some time alone with the president, and he suggested that there was a name missing from his list. and lo and behold, a few months later, brett kavanaugh's name turned up on that list. >> woodruff: how unusual for a justice of the supreme court to go personally to the presiunt astice kennedy did? >> it's quite unusual it was a very unusual intervention from a sitting justice. justices can say nicthings about people, but this was particularly effective, and it' an illustration of justice kavanaugh's abilit

and i never saw any sign that brett kavanaugh would do something like that.when a high school uas with high school and i would think that you would sort of assume, as i was sort of a bad actor, around women or bad acting in similar ways, lease some high school friends would see, oh yeah, i remember since i was a little bit whatever. in the sense that is quite a think, a strong quote on his side that was little lot of people who knew him in high school, women who knew him in high school, came forward to speak up for him. >> we look that there will actual efforts by high school friend who get out into the public record that they felt this way about him. we spoke with one individual who said that there would-be maybe five minute her whole live who is she would come out to defend their integrity and honor and maybe only one in the he was one of those people. the people who knew him, seem to speak in the same way about him. people in knew him well and he also so low people will alumni of cult norms which was school the christine blasÉ ford went to sign a letter in

so, it was a big lift to get brett kavanaugh onto that list. the justice he replaced, justice anthony kennedy, for whom he had clerked. justice kennedy, i report in the book, took the president aside and said there's somebody missing from your list. >> okay. ruth marcus, author of the book "supreme ambition: brett kavanaugh and the conservative takeover." also msnbc analyst and also with the "washington post." what else? thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >>> traces of communications of the president's personal attorney. how rudy giuliani's phone records could draw others into the impeachment inquiry. e records could draw others into the impeachment inquiry. the annual enrollment period is here. the time to choose your medicare coverage... begins october 15th and ends december 7th. so call unitedhealthcare and take advantage of a wide range of plans with a variety of benefits... including an aarp medicare advantage plan from unitedhealthcare. it can combine medicare parts a and b, which is your hospital and doctor coverage... with p

kagan is trying to become a partner to work on things together and that ground is similar to brett kavanaugh. they knew each other from social activities in the chevy chase maryland dc area, belong to the same club so there is something their too. >> they both like beer. i couldn't resist. that was a cheap shot. i am sorry. it was a long day, there was a fire alarm. >> if you had to pick some adjectives to describe john roberts to somebody, how would you describe it? >> determined, focused, smart, strategizing, controlling, very controlling, very aware, devoted, always prepared, always prepared, and excellent oral advocate and he shows up at the bench always prepared for cases. most of them do but not all, all the time. he likes things to be predictable. he likes to know what is going to happen. he is not a naturally spontaneous man. when we heard him say in november that line to rebuke donald trump, there are no obama judges, no trump judges, no bush or clinton judges i think he was waiting his moment to say that. it was not off-the-cuff. is not a man who speaks off-the-cuff, very studied,

>> i think this is a little bit different than brett kavanaugh.ut at the end of the day, i do think most -- most senators fall in line with their parties. but i would still keep a close eye, particularly on susan collins and lisa murkowski. and mitt romney on the republican side. and keep a close eye on doug jones and joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. i think they have particular leadership, particularly those republican swing state senators. they have a lot to consider. they can't simply win their elections by maintaining their base. they have to actually win independents and moderate voters, in order to survive politically so they have to walk a very fine line here. as i say watch collins and murkowski, those two in particular, have been known to break from the party from time to time. >> ross, let's talk about the battle that's playing out in the court system as it relates to president trump. the d.c. circuit court of appeals set to hear arguments in both the cases related to the house's access to the mueller grand jury details, as well as dmn do

[applause] >> happy to have you here. >> let's get right into it. we had an upbeat view of the us economy and complaints about the global economy. let's start with the us. despite everything we have seen a slowdown in us growth this year and a slump in manufacturing, decline in business investment. from your perch, what is your outlook for the us economy in the coming years? >> the us is in a good place. people in this room have contributed to that, the longest in history, expansion, lowest in the last 50 years. to see that wages, and low-paid workers out facing w

activities of democratic self-government and the person who wrote those words is now justice brett kavanaugh in upholding the constitutionality of a federal statute that denies foreign citizens the right to participate in our elections by spending money on electioneering or by giving money to pacs they have long been forbidden to give contributions to candidates and the reason for that is because that denies us our right to self government and then judge now justice brett kavanaugh was so correct in saying this that the supreme court which as you know has taken campaign finance case after campaign finance case to talk about the 1st amendment summarily affirmed here that is they don't even need to hear argument to know that it's constitutional to keep foreigners out of our election process and professor feldman you were somewhat of pietschmann skeptic at the time of the release of the mullen report were you not it was what's changed for use or. what changed for me was the revelation of the july 25th call and then the evidence that emerged subsequently of the president of the united states in

one of the details is entitled supreme ambition, brett kavanaugh and the take over.e done a lot of reporting. how do you think he will handle this trial? >> he will try to be as low key and unobtrusive as possible. that's what chief justice renquist tried to do during the clinton trial. he's very worried about the role of this court, the inkriesi ing sense this is far s-- he does n want the country to think of the court as a bunch of trump and republican justices. he will do as little as possible in terms of substantive rules in the impeachment trial when it happens. the book is called supreme ambition for two reasons. it's about justice kavanaugh but the movement to finally after 30 plus year of judicial nominations, to cement this conservative majority and the lengths they were willing to go to do that with justice brett kavanaugh. the reality is that long after we're done with those two thing, the real legacy of president trump is going to be on the federal courts and in particular his ability to do what republican presidents have been trying to do for years which

but he voted for all those policies, for brett kavanaugh. twitter is having a field day with this jeff flake op-ed. i can't give him any credit. i don't see any current republican senator feeling pressure from someone who's no longer in the senate and when he had the possibility voted with all of trump's policies. >> you don't think this is going to connect with republicans in the senate? >> i tend to agree -- i like the conservative policies but i tend to agree. justin amash is the hero here, somebody who left the party but he's going down fighting. he didn't walk away because he was afraid he couldn't get reelected. i can write an op-ed, there's opinion leaders and other conservatives who can opine and urge republicans to do the right thing, as hopeless as that may be. if jeff flake were still in the senate, if he fought to keep that seat, then maybe you could have a coalition of republicans, maybe a mitch mcconnell, maybe murkows murkowski, maybe jeff flake, get three or four of them together, team up with some moderate centrist democrats

the interesting question now if all is available about christine ford and that allegation in brett kavanaugh if he were just, say, a judge in the district of columbia and somebody gave you that information is it enough to publish a story? do you find -- >> all women deserve to be heard! >> okay. was it sufficient? would it have met your standard at the new york times to publish that. >> i think the reason your question is so interesting is it is your paper, the washington post that did publish what really was exactly that story. >> in the was in the midst of a supreme court nomination. i'm asking a different question. in terms of go through your book and i mean this, i teach a journalism seminar and i'm going to assign that as a manual about going through a really difficult case, the brett cavanagh case as it unfolded was very very difficult. i wonder whether everything we know, the precision and there is some precision but there is in precision and there are not the corroborating witnesses that you wanted in your work on weinstein. i am asking, would you have published that? >> that was par

brett kavanaugh, ass hole. can i say that on book tv? me. >> you're getting up thumbs up from c-span. >> brett kavanaugh, teenage ass hole, alcoholic, we all knew guys like this. did a lot of really crappy stuff. then went on to lead a very upright life, was apparently an unbelievably fair boss two women, promoted women, made sure his office was 50% women when he was Ãbhis clerks were 50% women. is there a statute of limitation? should we have said, brett kavanaugh, teenage ass hole, how many of us were teenage ass holes? should we have said okay, enough. a lot of these cases that go back 2030, 40 years, should we decide statute of limitation, enough? i think we should definitely consider it. i'm not trying to dodge, i don't know the answers to these questions. i wrote the book to try to figure out why we have such a hard time talking about this. for a lot of this stuff, especially when it comes to things people said in the past. we need to set a date and say whatever happened at this point, it might be 2017, this stuff is really new. wh

be much more concerned about the president's court choices, such as the supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. women oppose kavanaugh's confirmation by a 16-point margin. so there are certain issues here that seem to galvanize women more than men, at least differently. >> so i always do this to you. you don't have a crystal ball, but what can you predict? no pressure here, about the 2020 presidential election with these numbers? >> well, as you know, my crystal ball broke a long time ago, but listen, for now, we don't know how women will vote in 2020. we don't. but we do know this. these days, the vast majorities of women are lining up with democratic values and candidates. they have become the dominant political force in american voting. and the more cohesive women are, here's the hint, the more cohesive women are in 2020, the more that their votes will determine the winner. and for these reasons, kira, we can expect that whoever addresses women's concerns the best of 2020 may have a key advantage in that election. >> wow, female power. >> yep! >> all right, larry gursten, as always, thanks

but the republicans need this race to be nationalized. >> you mentioned brett kavanaugh.failed for the republicans. >> if you flip it on its head, does this also have the potential to rile up democrats such that it's a wash? >> yeah. i mean, you could make the argument any way here. but at the end of the day i don't think we can underestimate the president's ability to brand and sell. i do think that impeachment is going to become basket of deplorables 2.0. this is a way for republicans to highlight liberal condesencion. she was going to be voting for impeachment, people almost revolted. there were fights breaking out in the audience. >> and she gave one of the most brilliant and engaged answers which is textbook for what the democrats are going to be able to say. >> it still remains to be see what the fundraising outcomes are this quarter and if it actually is galvanizing republicans in the way that white house and brad pascal are claiming. but, you know, trump is clearly buoyed by data that this is intensifying republican support. i had one senate aide tell me last week

after watching the disgraceful way that a wonderful man brett kavanaugh was treated -- >> a possible democratic defection. >> there's nothing that turned up that truly is impeachable. >> the new jersey democrat reportedly feeling the heat from the president. a democratic official telling nbc news they expect van drew to leave the party. each with his anticipated no vote, impeachment on track for a trial in the senate. trump aide downplaying reports that white house counsel pat cipollone i will lead the defense. >> the president may have a number of attorneys helping him. >> as the president senate allies advocate for a short trial without calling the bidens to testify. >> i want to end it. i hate what they're doing. >> graham is open to hearing directly from rudy giuliani. who met with the president after returning from ukraine. but outside the impeachment process. >> rudy, if you want to tell us what you found, i'd be glad to talk to you. >> each if some of his congressional allies question his trump. >> i didn't know why rudy was in the ukraine. >> nbc's hans nichols reporting. tha

so, all of these complaints were brought against brett kavanaugh initially having nothing to do withwhat he said in response to the allegations by the professor for but rather some of the things he had said about his record on the dc circuit. there have been several complaints and in the end there were scores of complaints. they were originally filed at the dwiththe dc circuit where bt kavanaugh had been sitting in the chief justice transferred them to the tenth circuit so what would appear to be a neutral arbiter would handle it, but the transfer itself was sort of meaningless because the justices are not covered and sure enough after several months the tenth circuit came back and said we have no jurisdiction here. he's a supreme court justice and there's nothing we can do. and that was appealed to a higher committee. >> still in the tenth circuit. they expanded the commission at that the tenth circuit. these were 81 appeals and just recently that commission rejected all of the appeals on the same grounds, but there were, well, there was a dissenting, one of the female judges on the

justice brett kavanaugh was so correct in seeing this. they didn't even need to hear argument to know it's constitutional to keep foreigners out of our election process. >> professor feldman, you were somewhat of an impeachment skeptic at the time of the release of the mueller report, were you not? >> i was. >> what's changed for you, sir? >> what changed for me was the rev haitielation of the july 25l and the evidence that emerged subsequently of the president of the united states in a format where he was heard by others and now known to the whole public openly abused his office by seeking a personal advantage in order to get himself reelected and act against the national security of the united states. that is precisely the situation that the framers anticipated. it's very unusual for the framers' predictions to come through that precisely. and when they do, we have to ask ourselves some day we will no longer be alive and we'll go wherever it is we go, the good place or the other place. we may meet there madison and hamilton and they wil

then-justice brett kavanaugh was correct in saying this because the supreme court has taken campaign finance case after campaign finance case to talk about the first amendment. summarily affirmed here, they didn't even need to hear argument to know it's constitutional to keep foreigners out of our election process. >> professor feldman, you were somewhat of an impeachment skeptic at the time of the release of the mueller report, were you not? >> i was. >> what's changed for you, sir? >> what changed for me was the revelation of the july 25th call and then the evidence that emerged subsequently of the president of the united states in a format where he was heard by others and now known by the whole public, openly abused his open by seeking a personal advantage in order to get himself reelected and act against the national security of the united states. that is precisely the situation that the framers anticipated. it's very unusual for the framers' predictions to come true that precisely. and when they do, we have to ask ourselves, some day, we will no longer be alive and we'll go wher

tough question on the senate judiciary committee during contentious confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh and william barr. toher campaign, she pledged prosecute the case against president trump. in london, the president criticized the french president for his comments on nato. president macron described the alliance as "brain dead." mr. trump called that very insulting. >> nobody needs nato more than france. frankly, the one that benefits really the least is the united states. with the clock ticking toward a general election in the u k, jeremy corbyn is standing by his claim that the country's national health service would be threatened by a post-brexit trade deal with the united states. that is despite president trump saying it will not be a part of any negotiations. corbyn has used the line of attack against boris johnson in the run-up to the december 12 vote. graduate of unionized student workers at harvard are striking today. last ditch efforts fail to produce an agreement. the union has been negotiating since october 2018. it seeks a 5% increase in salaries and stipends, as well as

plus, "supreme ambition"-- a new book explores how brett kavanaugh's fraught appointment to the u.s.ocourt was ju step in a plan to move the judiciary to the right. all that and more on tonight's pbs newshour.

because you have seen what they do with even a little taste of power but you saw what they did to brett kavanaugh releasing subjected him to and his family to and what they've done to this president and what they've done to the people in his life. democrats believe anything is justified if it can get them even a little bit of political power. trish: you did not radicalize this editor at breitbart that saying you did? [laughter] trish: she is telling cnn i was radicalize by stephen miller. >> it is all complete and total madness and lunacy. it's a waste of my time. it's a waste of the country's time and a waste of everyone's time. again, it is nothing to do with me. it has nothing to do with me and the - the reality is if you want to talk about the substance of policy and immigration and the reality is my family as have so many came here as immigrants to our country. the american dream is made possible and made possible by a system and a body of laws. you heard democrats talking endlessly and, i'll be at falsely, and sink amount easily about the rule of law for weeks now. they don't believe in the

and the person who wrote those words is now justice brett kavanaugh in upholding the constitutionality of a federal statute that denies foreign citizens the right to participate in our elections by spending money on election hearing, or by giving money to tax. they have long been forbidden to give contributions to candidates. and the reason is because that denies us our right to self govern. and then judge justice brett kavanaugh was so correct in seeing this at the supreme court, which as you know has taking campaign finance after case to talk about the first amendment. it is constitutional, and part of the election process. >> professor feldman, you were an impeachment skeptic at the time of the release of the mueller report, were you? >> i was. >> what has changed for you, sir? >> what changed was the revelation of the july 25th call and the evidence that emerged subsequently of the president of the united states in a format where he was heard by others and now known to a whole public, openly abused his office by seeking a personal advantage in order to get himself reelected at the

want that information hidden but who knows if these tactics will actually pay off remember the brett kavanaugh confirmation hearings the democrats called witness after witness after witness and the republicans seem to have been the big winners then these sexual assault allegations and heated rhetoric didn't win the democrats any points as the 2020 alexion edged nearer democrats stand to possibly lose pretty big from this whole impeachment fiasco after all the trouble is actually driven from office the red state in the rust belt base of trump supporters won't be pleased animosity between the 2 sides could reach a critical juncture and if they fail they could face ridicule for dragging the country through a pointless procedure wasting money and wasting time so what exactly are the democrats trying to accomplish by impeaching donald trump to quote an old american saying after wonder are the democrats perhaps cutting off their nose in order to spite their face caleb oppen r.t. new york. was the run faster 2020 us presidential candidate from the libertarian party to this the diddies clear what the

for example, instead of voting "yes" on justice brett kavanaugh's confirmation, she voted "present."isiana republican senator john kennedy today told us how he thinks the senate would like to proceed. >> nine out of ten senators, secretly, don't want to hear this case, and the tenth is iing. now, there are many of them that aren't going to say that publicly, but that's how they feel. >> garrett: chip, so far, murkowski is the only senate republican expressing concerns. might others join her? ter:eporter: well, we reached out to some republicans who have edcked the party in the past, including susan collins of maine and mitt romney of utah. aney did not get back to us. but keep one thing in mind, that even if some republicans join the democrats in voting in favor jo witnesses at the trial, that does not mean that they will ultimately vote in favor of removing the president from office. enat would take a two-thirds akte of the senate, and at this point, that appears to be extremely unlikely. major. >> garrett: unlikely indeed. chip reid, thanks so much. tonight, cbs news has learned gh

now you have , president trump ran on appointing pro-life justices and pro-gun justices, and brett kavanaugh has been against some gun regulations, and so you have a moment here where it does look like the supreme court has a majority of justices who might be willing to strike those gun laws down, and that is a real problem for progress with groups like this. even if they pass a law and get it through to the president, the courts might be another obstacle. >> for our viewers, you can follow the reporting if you go online and also on twitter. thank you both for being part of newsmakers. >> thanks for having us. announcer: democratic presidential candidate senator kamala harris attends a house party today at a residence in knoxville, iowa. our live coverage begins at 12:20 p.m. eastern on c-span. i wanted to tell you if i , what ihead in shame would say is very personalized reporting of these fellows. i think you ought to know that opinion because you are going to be discarding me down the road if i didn't tell you that. frankly,telling you that i think your industry is wrecking all of us. >>
