you make the point that brooke shields had just posed nude at age ten, and she had been a child prostitutethe age of ten in pretty ba by. i was aware ofjodie foster being in taxi driver. it wasn't uncommon for young girls to be in sexualised parts. so, for your mother, she knew you were there, and you even called her, didn't you? and told her everything was all right? yes, i thought everything was all right. i was fine at that point. and in all that time, you have never been angry with her. it seems the only time you angry with her was for letting the police know. yes, i was immature and i was angry that she called the police because that really brought down a lot of difficult, terrible, horrible times. but she had to call the police. as a younger person i was angry, i wish she hadn't, because then it would have just been over, and instead it went on for a year. it went on for a lot longer, didn't it? yes. you said of the subsequent process, if i had to choose between reliving the rape or the grand jury testimony, i would choose the rape. yes, it was ten minutes. the grand jury, everyone w

it's a perfect time for the analysis of shields and brooks. 's syndicated columnist mark shields, and "new york times" columnist david brooks. welcome to you both. >> thank you, judy. >> woodruff: so, mark, some good numbers on the economy out today. jobs numbers impressive. president trump is saying it's all due to him. does he deserve this much credit? >> of course he does, because we learned from candidate trump these numbers are totally bogus, that we live in this big ugly bubble, that unemployment is actually 42% at the time of president obama. no, judy, i mean, the economic news is phenomenal. it isn't just good. setting new records in the stock market, 22,000. you've got the lowest unemployment rate in 16 years. you've got economic confidence. today, mazda a and toyota announced they're building a $1.3 billion plant in the united states. amazon 50,000 jobs hiring. if donald trump would get out of the way, if he was silent cal coolidge and just let the good news take over and say, wow, isn't that something? but motor mouth don has to keep

and, now to the analysis of shields and brooks. 's syndicated columnist mark shields, and "new york times" columnist david brooks. welcome. to so charlottesville, it's been almost two weeks since the tragedy there. it has risen in the headlines again this week, david. the president's in phoenix, he makes this passionate speech unscripted, defending the way he handled charlottesville, bringing on even more criticism. are we in the clear now on what this president believes about placism, about white supremacy and all of it. >> i think we're clearer where the republican party is. the trump campaign began seriously with the muslim ban. it continued with a series of racial things about the wall, continued charlottesville and the reaction. what happened is the racial winking and content, the identity politic has become a rising motif in the trump administration along with everything else like economic populism has fallen away. that meant the republican party at least some portion of it and i don't know how big has become more of a white e

mark shields and david brooks are away. let's start with the big news first.r reactions to the ouster of steve bannon. >> well, it's been rumored to be happening for several weeks now and i think this is just another example of the volatility and turnover in this administration, much of it based on petty jealousy and resentment of people who are getting in president trump's view too much press. >> sreenivasan: e.j.? i think that's all true. i also think it's the case a lot of this talk about trump as populist was always phoney, that bannon was the one guy in there on economic issues represent add kind of populism and is being pushed out. i think means that the trump administration becomes much more of a corporate republican place. he was also obviously radioactive on racial questions because of the alt-right breitbart's, the history of ethnonationallism. so i think the two forms came together to force him out of there. >> sreenivasan: does this change anything about the white house? we've already had reports tonight he's headed back to breitbart, there could b

that's "new york times" columnist david brooks, and "washington post" deputy editorial page editor ruth marcus. mark shieldsaway. and we welcome both of you. so you just heard two very different views from our earlier expert guests on north korea. you heard the president again commenting, david, and now senator risch. how do you assess the president's management of this north korea situation? >> unusual, i guess. it will come after the war in venezuela, apparently. i don't know what that was all about. there's been a consensus of how to dole with this problem. the north korean regime is extremely fiery, insecure and sometimes hysterical, and when you're around someone who's screaming and unstable, the last thing you want to do is add to the instability with your own unstable, hysterical rhetoric. so most administrations, republican and democrat, when north korea speaks like this have ignored it and relied on a sense the north koreans don't want to commit suicide. donald trump has gone the other way. the sense of neither party wants to go into a war is still there. but the psychological probabilities that yo
