those were caitlin's words to me. but she went on and she said -- and i quote -- going public with our stories opens us up to criticism ranging from victim blaming to accusations that we're liars and a. tension seekers, in addition to far uglier insults that i won't repeat right now. i know that coming forward and forever tying our names to one of the most terrifying, degrading experiences of our lives isn't a decision to be taken lightly, unquote. mr. president, sadly, caitlin is not alone, far from it. and she shared her story with me so her story can help others, so that i can lift it up, make sure it is being heard and help her make a difference. so, mr. president, this brings me to the question i want to ask here today -- what is this really about right now, in this moment, here in the united states senate? there's a whole lot of confusion, a whole lot of mud being kicked up, a understand a he whole lot of distractions. but what is this moment right now really about? not the question of this confirmation, though

to caitlin collins we go. to the white house. caitlin, what exactly does the order allow?rter: the bottom line, brooke this is mane to the punish people who interfere in the elections. it directs the national intelligence director dan coats to identify in a sense people meddling in the election and apply sanctions to them, recommending those to the treasury department. it directs them to conduct these assessments regularly up until the mid-terms to determine who could be interfering in an election to provide reports to the department of justice and homeland security and make the sanctions recommendations going from there. now, it's not just countries specific. they made sure to tell reporters that. it's not just about russia. it can be russia, china, any other country. it's not just about countries either. it applies to individuals, companies, anyone trying to interfere in election systems to spread this information to sway some votes. all of those people would be concluded here. but really the bottom line here is they want to send a page that they will not let election me

our colleague caitlin collins was reporting in the last few hours the president had been bragging inecent days about the positive coverage of his restrained response. the policy of restraint is over? >> yes. it's over. and we see on these, the tweets he sent out this morning that the gloves off at this point. i think the hope for this white house was, you don't need to rush this, so the president could have a contained and small window to contain himself and not go off on the victim as or the alleged victim as he is doing now. you saw kellyanne conway a couple days ago, basically say, we should hear her out. she doesn't deserve to be criticized or condemned. let's hear her out. you see even she is sort of changing her strategy here, maybe saying she is confused, mixed up, mistaken, iden identity in taking judge kavanaugh once he goes through these tweets. he usually keeps going, there is no pullback once he gets out there. >> there have been a couple. >> and the political risks here. initially, there was some concern about him alienating two female republican senators, who are the ke

for more on this, let's bring in caitlin owen, let's start where ellison just left off with presidentbama officially back on the campaign trail reminding everyone that he handed off a good economy. the unemployment rate, take a look at, this unemployment rate in november 2016 was 4.6%, in december of 2016 it was 4.7%. in january of 2017 it was 4.8%, then taking a look at job growth during that period, 172,000 jobs added in november of 2016. 180,000 jobs added in december of 2016 and at the start of new year and the new presidency 259,000 jobs added in january 2017, reminding everybody what ellison just reported, current unemployment rate 3.9% and in 2001, 1,201,000 jobs added in august, so the question is, how does president trump stay focused in adder articulate his contributions to the continued success of the american economy? >> i think that's a great question, republicans, congressional republicans especially have been trying to get president trump to stay on message for months now, ever since they've passed tax reform bill lowering the tax rate, they've been, you know, it's been

above all there is what i have deemed the little caitlin problem. they are determined to secure places at prestigious universities for their friends, family and children. and who can blame them. questioning the priorities of administrators or factors is not the way to gain those precious slots. the free play of ideas. it is not uppermost in donors mind. that she move on to bigger and better things. how do we change this. the search for truth is the faintest of human passion. nonetheless, it is worth trying to win the hearts and lives of big donors by making them aware of what's really going on in our universities. the most civic minded among them should be made to see that supporting elite universities is not the most fruitful youth of the country. there are in fact better ways to improve people's lives in to help ordinary average on special people i guess you could call them. i have a whole laundry list of causes that the big mega donors to harvard and yale could consider if you look on the website. i have listed them. but i think that we really ne

. >> in the document that the white house released, and you saw it, caitlin, the president specificallyacted text messages from people that he clearly doesn't like, james comey, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, lisa page, bruce ohr, all of whom he has gone after. >> people he fired or threatened to remove their security clearances or tweeted disparaging comments about them. yes, he does want to do exactly that. he wants to expose their bias and show they were out to get them, or show they believe it is unsubstantiated, that they surveilled the former aide, carter page. it is not just the president who wanted it released. it is his allies on capitol hill who have been pressuring him to get the doj to release these, and the director of national intelligence. they're not coming out today. they're going through the formal process of being declassified. to have them unredact, that's a keyword. we are going to read these text messages between the fbi director. it will be really something. >> yes. jeffrey, the president has the authority. he can declassify anything he wants. >> he could declassify

caitlin, we have shown all these men and women who are saying it wasn't me, and we now have color from within the white house that they are hand-delivering these denials to the president. >> yes. that's right, brooke. this is a president who likes these denials. we saw that back when the book, bob woodward book was published. the president citing those strong denials from john kelly and the defense secretary, and now the aides have realized the president likes the denials and every time these high-ranking officials are putting out these statements which they're scrambling to put out over the last few hours denying it was then who trashed the president in that unsigned op-ed in "the new york times," the aides inside the white house are printing out these statements and hand delivering them to the president. brooke, that's because the president is seething inside the white house today, angry and wanting to find out who it is that wrote this op-ed, calling him petty, ineffective, and ill-informed and saying essentially that he is not someone fit to be the leader of this country. brooke, t

but quickly caitlin, you're in the room. what was your biggest takeaway. >> reporter: the president's biggest argument here was that this is a man who does not deserve this. now, the president's exact quote. and president trump voicing sympathy for his family, for him, saying essentially that he should not be having to go through this, that it is a terrible thing that he is having to go through with this allegation. now, the president made no mention of the accuser's name. he instead referred to her as that woman and laid out essentially what he thinks next monday should look like. he said that the woman should come forward, state her case, and that judge kavanaugh should also have a chance to state his case as well. and then he said that the senators should be able to go from there and vote on whether or not they are going to confirm him. of course the president not mentioning christine blasey ford's name at all, but instead focusing on the democrats once again saying why was this not brought up three months ago, why does s

let me, i think, caitlin flanagan at the atlantic and david at the national review set up t conversationtty well for us. let me read you from the atlantic. the least we can do is put this confirottion on hold and if true, kavanaugh should be approved without suspicion. my own inclination is no. here's david french. if there isn't any coeration or external evidence outside of christine ford's three decades-old recollections, that's not enough for derailing the jurist no matter how fiercely they'reat believed. going to be the standard of berievability? are we? >> i think it's tremendously difficult. you have partisans on left including a democratic senat saying we must believe the testimony of the woman and it is anti-woman to challenge the accusations and partisans on the right thring out the names of their potential assailants without much proof, but what i think the difficult position justice kavanaugh or judge kavanaugh, excuse me, providian slip, is being put in is that in the current climate it is tremendously difficult for him to defend himself without being accused of being anti-wo

and we should also note, as caitlin palance has reported in all her great reporting this morning, thattrump's name has not come up at all in the courtroom. and you know, throughout much of this case. and so they are saying that the white house shouldn't be worried. john dowd, who used to represent the president of the united states, has always been saying that this case has nothing to do with donald trump. so what he is going to cooperate on is going to be pretty interesting. >> and clearly, that's the entire -- that's the whole -- that's the whole ball game. what is he cooperating on? that's everything. i'm remembering, i think it was a tweet. of course, it was if it came from the president. but on that remarkable day of manafort being convicted, and michael cohen being pleading guilty, gloria, the president at one point tweeted that unlike michael cohen, manafort refused to break. make up stories in order to get a deal. such respect for a brave man. >> right. >> i now wonder what -- if the president feels that confidence today. >> if he thinks manafort is so brave, i have a tweet --

caitlin owens from axios. the man who has a different take on it, from "the daily caller." could be jeff flake's way of providing a grudging. >> i think it was -- i think jeff flake is going to bas on this and i think ultimately what he was doing here is taking the opportunity to attack donald trump for his statements about the process. the president of the united states. and simultaneously come out and say that with a heavy heart, tomorrow were going to have inconclusive evidence about what actually transpired but in the end, were going have to make a decision and yes this will forever be steeped in doubt, whatever decision we end up making. it sounds to me like he is preparing his watchers for his yes vote this week. >> i don't know, neil. this could go either way. i think some senators, some of these key swing vote senators, lisa murkowski, susan collins, jeff flake, i think they are trying to watch the hearing with an open mind and we just don't know. tomorrow, there's going to be crazy fireworks on both sides. we don't know what can come out. i think flake was kind of

i think that what has really changed as caitlin said over the last couple days is you had four senators, four republican senators, collins, murkowski, corker, and jeff flake, all of whom had expressed concerns about moving forward without hearing from her. now that all four have said, look, if she doesn't want to testify, we're ready to move forward, that's what gives the white house a lot more confidence that if they can get past monday without an appearance by her, that the nomination will at least seem to have clear sailing to the end. >> but here's the thing. they kind of keep sticking in my craw, ron, which is hear from her by monday. this is, and every lawmaker on the committee and even beyond, are going to face questions about this. should they allow for more time? why should they be asking for the fbi, why should they be asking for the fbi to investigate? why does a deadline that is not congressionally mandated, constitutionally mandated, why does that deadline have to stick? that is the question that i don't understand why they can't answer. >> well, especially against the back

they say that 29-year-old caitlin rodriguez is the driver you see in this chase right here, and she wasn'tlone. >> going to be on u.s. 90. an infant in the vehicle. >> reporter: her infant in the backseat of that vehicle as the mother races through the streets. >> at least 100 miles an hour. >> reporter: the video only now being released. the incident from june. after police say they tried to pull rodriguez over for a traffic violation. watch as highway patrol throw out spike strips, but even that doesn't stop her. >> went off road. looks like she's about to wreck. no, she's still got it. >> reporter: driving into oncoming traffic, the car blows through a red light racing down the road until it rams into the back of that truck, the driver jumping out of the vehicle. >> she's got the baby and we're running. >> reporter: the mother sprinting away with her baby in the car seat as she tries to carjack another driver who has a child of her own in the car. officers arrive and take her down. >> the baby is safe. the baby is safe. >> reporter: the baby's safe. that is the key. rodriguez who had ou

i was annoyed at caitlin. when did you know -- what did she know about anything? she never kissed anyone, never felt anyone holding her and never known the moon. >> guest: no moon. so moon as you know is meth and she doesn't call that moon. that's part of her denial, of course, but for me also going back to kind of the surreal poetry of the narrative, it was actually more comforting for me to write moon all the time to instead of meth. when i was researching the book one thing i did not do was look at any photos of people who are addicted to meth. because i didn't want to have to imagine what she's going to look like, what she was looking alike. but i wanted to have a sense of what laurel was feeling internally. >> host: describe laurel that you envision. >> guest: so describe her physically? all kinds of ways? i envisioned her as this kid who is lost and that that always been that way. she was very grounded before she left mississippi. she lived with her mom, her grandma. she was very connected to her grandmother. her dad was very connected to the land, and she w

once it moves onshore it will weaken but be raining for days guys back to you >> caitlin, thank you.ing an impact on travel as you can imagine and tour imin the area you think the carolinas, a lot of people, contessa brewer, joining us now, i think myrtle beach. that's where you are right now >> yeah, in fact, joe, 18.6 million visitors come to visit every year right now, the place is a virtual ghost town look around. even the waffle house boarded up you know i've covered my fair share of storms. in any storms i cover, waffle house is the last one to close it's the first one to reopen often they stay up and rubbing through these hurricanes not this one in fact, this is a telling sign for this particular area because it's all boarded up and locked up, we just saw a disappointed customer come up, try the door handle, turn around and leave with an empty belly. here's what they tweeted out the command center they come up with what they call the waffle house index hey, green, waffle house is up and running. yellow, waffle house is serving a limited menu, they say it may be operating on fo

those were caitlin's words to me. but she went on and she said -- and i quote -- going public with our stories opens us up to criticism ranging from victim blaming to accusations that we're liars and a. tension seekers, in addition to far uglier insults that i won't repeat right now. i know that coming forward and forever tying our names to one of the most terrifying, degrading experiences of our lives isn't a decision to be taken lightly, unquote. mr. president, sadly, caitlin is not alone, far from it. and she shared her story with me so her story can help others, so that i can lift it up, make sure it is being heard and help her make a difference. so, mr. president, this brings me to the question i want to ask here today -- what is this really about right now, in this moment, here in the united states senate? there's a whole lot of confusion, a whole lot of mud being kicked up, a understand a he whole lot of distractions. but what is this moment right now really about? not the question of this confirmation, though
