bring back our panel, britt, marie, shannon and chris. thoughts on today on the afternoon? >> things have slowed down. we had this explosion of emotion from judge kavanaugh, and very much acting like -- behaving like a man who has been unjustly accused and outraged by the way he's been treated by allegations of misconduct. and we had this very special moment when lindsey graham basically fired a lightning bolt into the democratic committee hearing and so they were playing partisan politics and destroying a good man's career based on very little information, and making at the political fight that it had been, or that it clearly was, and that the republicans were fighting with one armed tied behind their back with rachel mitchell, the prosecutor from arizona doing the questioning. since then it's been pretty quiet. >> i wonder what happened to rachel mitchell, if she is still sitting in the room or if they wonder if they are coming to her next. the things they are focusing on, they want the fbi investigation and they've been shot down on that time and time again. we will see

charles: britt within you live,n washington, d.c. >> yeah.e block the other way and it's a little dicey. it's not that case now. around the park it used to be not the safest area in the world. this the past two years they pumped $2.5 billion in the area to make it cleaner. the statistic is alarming in d.c. i would have thought it would have been chicago. on august 58th there were 40 people shot in a seven-hour period. i've got questions for rahm emanuel. i think more needs to be done. charles: are you surprised? i'm not. my economic and investment philosophy begins with peace. when you have peace in the world and even a few years ago when we had the least amount of hostile deaths in the history of the planet, the world's middle class went up a billion people. that's got to be the ground foundation and i think it's working overall in this country. >> as long as the economy continue to trend the way it has been, that's one indicator of whether you can see petty crime, more serious crime. i would also look to baltimore because that's a city that

britt's when you view. we have kicked the can down the road for a while on china and the structural issues. when -- we need to face up to those issues. the question is to the right approach and it's a legitimate one. the concern i have raised is make sure we are clear about our objectives. is not just about buying more soybeans, which i would love for ohio, or lng. is about some of the structural changes to ensure intellectual property can be protected and we can have a true level playing field with the second biggest economy in the world. that is a tougher one. with regard to 232 and our mexico, onenada and would hope we could resolve those issues soon and move on to resolving some of the european issues and get the business of opening markets again by having some new trade agreements, which i know the administration is interested in doing. the u.k. and japan have been in the news, and some african countries and elsewhere. that is a part of the agenda we should pursue. thank you for your attendance and par

senator feinstein says she has given the fbi sensitive information with an allegation against britt cavanaugh. feinstein says about the source that the individual strongly requested confidentiality. they declined to come forward or press the matter further and i have honored the decision. i have however referred the matter to federal investigative authorities. multiple reports say the letter alleges sexual misconduct cavanaugh when he was in high school. the bay area news group says the woman making the allegations as a bay area resident. the fbi says they have put the information in cavanaugh's background file as a part of the nomination process. >> the owner of a northbay septic company will spend a year in jail for illegally dumping tens of thousands of gallons of human waste. carlos chavis brand petaluma septic services out of his home in penn growth. police say chavez would empty his 3000 gallon pumping truck into rohner parks public system through a manhole he does himself to avoid paying fees at a certified dumpsite. using hidden cameras investigators caught him doing it 326 times in 2

trump even floating the notion of a second summit with kim, something that strikes some people as a brittuse north korea's nuclear proliferation has continued unabated. it is also true that president trump has made clear he sees little use for multinational organizations such as the u.n. so he could be set up for a bit of a confrontation with world leaders on that issue. including other hot-button issues such as bloeglobal trade defense spending. and we'll also have to see if he says anything in these one-on-one meetings about the big news of the day, the fate of his deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and this ever evolving saga over his second supreme court pick brett kavanaugh. >> and they are there to talk about foreign policy and talk about trade deals and talk about north korea, et cetera. but administration officials who are at the u.n. today are being asked about the 25th amendment. they are being asked about rod rosenstein, they are being asked about other things happening within this administration that do not have to do with foreign policy. here is mike pompeo talking about

. >> britt, when you look at this as we said the other night, this is really -- it's about so many other issues. the fact that chris brought up, the decisions were made on this candidate, on this nominee long before we got here. this in many ways, as tragic as her experience was and we don't know what happened, we heard her story, it's a side bar. it's the issue that is being used to drive the wedge through this nomination. >> if you drill down, the underlying issue that undergirds all of these struggles over the supreme court nominations of peer that appear to be judicial conservatives when the balance of the court is in play, it comes down to abortion. abortion is a 45-year-old decision. we have been fighting about it ever since. it failed to resolve the question in the eyes of many people. it's the most enduring moral issue and split the nation horrible live. one of the worst things the supreme court has ever done. even if you like the result, the -- >> martha: we wouldn't be here today if it was known that he was determined to protect that. >> if he wrote a law review article or said

i agree a lot with what britt said and whatid you said, at thi hearing, i think it i think histrionicsere helpful it was not helpful, and the , the shouters in the w crowd. repeated interruptions were not helpful to the case. that they are trying to make, i do think it reflects an anger that they have over merrick garland, he had eight months before the election and could not get a hearing. it is an expression of that anger. i do think that this entire hearing process has been completely broken and it is winking performance art at this point. we do not get anything out of the hearings and i think that it is time for the democrats and republicans in the spirit that you were alluding to at the upset that john mccain spirit to fix the process. there should be an agreement between democrats and republicans for all future nominees on the document in question about what documents s are given. that should not be somethingdo that you are fighting on a case by case business. they do not really testify aboua what they think or what they really believe in, what do they think that to roe v. wade w

disclose this as a part of the confirmation process, to me the timing of this just seems a little brittt politically opportune. >> she says she sat on it because the woman wanted to remain anonymous, but then word leaked out. she did not intend to put this out there. rather she said that brett kavanaugh should be judged on the questioning and on his legal background and the kinds of things that he has written and rulings and the like. but when this got out, she felt like she had to bring to the democratic leadership. >> sure, and that makes sense and on capitol hill things leak all the time. the thing that kind of bothers me a little bit about the timing is historically if you look, sort of last minute surprises after initial hearing tsz are c concluded are not uncommon. anita hill's accusations came after initial hearings as did the charges regarding plagiarism for neil gorsuch when he was up for confirmation. so maybe the senator are wanted to do her best by the victim and respect her privacy, which i think is really important. but perhaps someone in the senator's orbit felt it on tha

. >> bret: britt, people might say he was really emotional throughout. but this is raw. his family, his person has been under attack as he said for ten days straight. this is something that obviously he is saying i have a story to tell. >> yeah. think of this way, bret. he's been around washington. he was on the ken starr investigating team. he's never been subjected to anything like this. he's been in the background. his confirmation to the circuit court of appeals was nothing like this. he's never experienced anything like this. and i know his father. i actually know christine blasey ford's father. i think his reaction when he spoke of his family, the emotion that came out in that. when you've been wrongly accused of something, it makes you emotional. no doubt about that. i don't think the emotion he showed here is -- diminishes his credibility one bit. it enhances it. this is the way a person who is likely to reacted to something who never experienced this before, who has never experienceit before and this devastating. >> martha: there's no doubt. it was like when i i

. >> you know, britt is right. kavanaugh came so well prepared to talk about the nominee precedent, just quoting democratic nominee after democratic no me and how they conducted themselves in the chair, whether it's kagan, ginsberg, talking about the things he didn't have to answer because they didn't either. very effective. i've never seen a nominee so well-prepared. alternately able to bore us and charm us and bore us and charm us. incredibly effective. i do think that amy klobuchar from minnesota is not running for president. she was roguely going from case to case trying to speed up through her list as it was a routine checklist of things she had to get through. what the best minds here on the democratic side want to do and senator coons up now might do this, senator cory booker was 16edding out fund-raising requests during the hearings yesterday is likely to do. so there's sparks before the end of the day for judge kavanaugh. what they wanted to do is raise the question, put him in the hot seat a little. democ

difficult spot of having to argue to voters that they should be -- >> dana: let me get your take, and then britts we wrap up. last week, on friday, would have thought that it would be likely you can get four or five democrats to go ahead and vote for kavanaugh because there is no real reason not to. do you think that has changed, regardless of what happens in this testimony? >> i think for claire mccaskill, things got a little harder in terms of being able to vote for kavanaugh. certainly come with her base and her supporters. there is another political consideration here, too, which is that republicans can't look like ogres and they can't look like they are brushing aside these considerations when it comes to persuading suburban women voters who are going to be watching how they handle this very, very closely. >> dana: brit, what should we be paying attention to the next 48 hours or so? >> first of all, i think, dana, that this is going to take a while. democrats will do everything they can to prolong the process. they'll want the fbi possibly to conduct some sort a full investigation, because

that is because of the standard established by britt hume.rian: one of the places you can find in norman's criticism of the mainstream media is on talk radio. we put together -- this is only 30 seconds, we put together a montage of the kind of things being said on talk radio. first is chris plant, a stepson of the bill finding who used to be at cbs. major: dear friend and colleague. brian: then there is rush limbaugh and sean hannity. this is what they say almost every day about what you do at cbs. >> the democratic boot lick schleifer, mommy wrapped, news media, they are bidding for them. >> the media is praying to the unstable. they are playing to the in firm. they are playing to the loosely coagulated in the frame. needese people really help. they have no, let's say, they don't want to adhere to truth anymore. that is a sad thing. brian: what do you say? major: i heard that during the campaign. when i met trumps support is at more than 75 trump rallies. i have given speeches on this. what i'm introduced as a nice introduction, but what you

saying they have to be there for britt —— religious reasons because president assad has enlightened themisrael as a threat, they are invited by assad to be in syria, they see a site as a huge ally for iran and they will be there despite their wishes —— the wishes of president trump. and have we heard from the iranians today with specific response to the israelis? not yet. in previous cases there has been absolute silence, they usually do not react, and after a few weeks we may hear an adviser here they're talking about it. but usually, in the immediate aftermath ofan usually, in the immediate aftermath of an attack, they go silent. grateful to her and many other collea g u es grateful to her and many other colleagues for —— for guiding us to the searing conflict. we've heard from president trump as us continues to ratchet up the trade war with china. yesterday america brought in tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese imports. this affects 6,000 products, including textiles and rice. and this means that if you put together all tariffs, around half of all chinese imports will now affecte

court of appeals for 11th circuit, britt grant and she was in my second class of clerk clerks. that's important because as i talk about my mom, she was a trail blazer in the law and overcame barriers to help women achieve equality in the law and i want to do my part as well not just because of her, she was an example to help achieve equality for all women to give them an equal place at the table in future opportunities and i think i've helped one small piece and i don't want to overdo it but i've tried to be proactive and to make a difference. >> what about minority outreach? >> in 2009 or 2010 after i was on the court for about three yea years, there was a hearing in the house appropriations committee with two justices going up every year and talking about the supreme court budget and testify before the appropriations committee to get money or to explain the need for money for the supreme court for the following year and justice thomas and justice breyer were there and they were asked about the seeming disparity with minority law clerks in general, african-american law clerks

britt kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court is in danger of falling apart after a new claim ofduct. according to "the new yorker" magazine, senate democrats are investigating a case during his college years. he denies the allegation. a woman who says kavanaugh assaulted her decades ago will testify before the senate judiciary committee. has won hiser woods first pga tournament in five years. he captured the tour championship in atlanta by two strikes. his career has been plagued by injuries and scandal the cost him millions of dollars in sponsorships. next up, the ryder cup in france that pits the u.s. against europe. global news on air and on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am emma chandra. alix: thank you so much's warning for the market talked about president trump, saying equity market resilience despite tariffs will embolden the president on all geopolitical friends and is potentially a miscalculation from sanctions that are tough to calibrate. joining us from munich is peter oppenheimer. this is all j.p. morgan try

anytime they start coming up with outlandish, you should investigate whether britt governor was running an underground cartel that makes the democrats look unreasonable. if they want to broaden as they should look at how it was at the allegations came forward and whether there was a coordinated effort there. or how it was that the letter sent to dianne feinstein was leaked to the media. if they want to expand it might not go into areas they would prefer. but any attempt to expand beyond the initial allegation, when each subsequent allegation that more and more ridiculous, a lot of people were critical of even the second allegation because it was so little support for the claim and a lot of reputation. i think what's important is the countries actually done with this circus. they're willing to give it one week so that the fbi can conclude things.but anything beyond that is difficult for the people to endure. >> all right molly, thank you very much. then the role of protesters. they moved one senator black and another senator to ignore. a contrast in the face of criticism. in the u.s. it'

innda: britt plays a role one of the best-performing stock exchanges in the world -- brent plays a rolenorway to find this stock market, the oslo stock exchange outperforming the global index. a big part of that has been the increase in the price of oil, but also, high-tech is strong there, including farm fishing. an interest in the oslo stock exchange. an interesting outperformance in a region that we think of us quite the opposite these days. the trade war reality is setting in for the u.s. and china, both sides sticking to their guns. in retaliation for the latest batch of tariffs, the chinese government has called off trade talks until after the midterm elections. mike pompeo offered some clarification yesterday. the president was not the one who started the trade war that would be the one to finish it. >> the trade war by china against the united states has been going on for years. here is what is different with the administration, to extent one wants to call this a trade war, we're determined to win it. us,da: sarah mcgregor joins leading bloomberg economic policy coverage in wash

. >> washington managing editor britt hume has the outlook from the nation's capital.going to be immediate. >> whether it is immediate or not one thing we are seeing is a series of evacuations from various civilians around washington. it is important to say we don't know or have no reason to believe the white house for example was facing any immediate or imminent threat, the same is true on capitol hill where they will be evacuating the building up here soon. nothing has happened at either of those places. this is one of those days we can say things will not again be the same in the united states of america. a terrorist attack that is the nightmare experts and others have warned about but some of us may have thought really could not happen on such a scale. this is remarkable. >> as we watch these pictures, the world trade center, 110 stories literally starting to fall. >> is gone! the whole towers gone! holy crap! it knocked the whole thing out! >> i hope i live. it is coming down on me. here it comes. getting behind a car. >> people need help. i don't think i am one o
