christine: i wanted to abolish the death penalty. en i started law school, the death penalty was the truth of criminal law and for personal, religious and other reasons i wanted to eradicate this penalty -- in eradicating this penalty in france. unfortunately, when i finished, my law school where i graduated and could have joined the group, the death penalty had been abolished. david: did you practice in france? christine: i did for a few years. like many lawyers in those days, you had to do corporate, antitrust, labor. the french president elected was a socialist. the government came out with lots of very hard labor rules to benefit the unions and workers and all of that. most of our clients were american companies invested in france and i was busy. david: were there many women lawyers in france in those days? christine: no. one reason i joined was the managing partner was a woman and she was a role model to me. david: baker mckenzie was one of the largest -- in the world and it was based in chicago. at some point, how did you get to

christine: i was really bad, actually. david: you were also interested in synchronized swimming at that time? can you explain what that really is and how you came to be on the national team? christine: the athletic activities have to do with the riots we had in 1968. students were taking to the streets, my parents were terrified i would do that. they allowed me to go to the swimming pool so i could skip spend all my time by the pool. i enjoyed swimming. gradually one day after the other i became interested in synchronized swimming was brought together girls, so it is teamwork, that is required music and a liking of music, and i had always liked music, and discipline and methods rely joined the team at the time. david: so with sciquest swimming, you became a member of the national team of france. did you do the olympics? christine: it wasn't an olympic sport at that time. david: do you still do swimming? christine: yes, including this morning. david: wow, how do you have time for that? christine: i get up at 5:00. david: oh,

christine: there's a lot of ego food i have taken. david: how did you get to be the head of the entire firm? christine: it is in those situations a woman arises. david: with synchronized swimming, you became a member of the national team of france. christine: i did european championship and many international events. david: you experienced a lot of discrimination. christine: when i used to deal with law firms. i was told back in those days that i would never make partnerships because i was a woman. >> would you fix your tie please? david: people wouldn't recognize me if my tie was fixed, but ok. just leave it this way. all right. i don't consider myself a journalist. nobody else would consider me a journalist. i began to take on the life of being an interviewer, even though i have a day job of running a private equity firm. how do you define leadership? what is it that makes somebody tick? many people don't know what imf actually is. christine: the international monetary fund was set up 75 years ago by 44 men -- no women in those days

christine: i had a very classic education. udied, you know, the basic subjects i suppose everybody studies, which is french, math, english, geography, history, chemistry, and physics. plus some sports, which were not so important in those days in france. david: but very often, leaders in france go to certain schools. and they go to these great, prestigious schools. did you go to one of those schools? christine: no, i failed , miserably. david: because? christine: because the first time, i was in love with somebody who was going to become my husband. and i did not study very hard. and the second year, i did study really hard with a group of others who studied equally hard. and i totally missed the date of registration to actually take the various exams. david: so you became a lawyer though. , and what propelled you to want to become a lawyer? christine: the death penalty. i wanted to participate in abolishing the death penalty. when i started law school, the death penalty was one of the tools of criminal law. and for personal, r

christine: i loved it. i really loved it.s a massive change in my socially,aphically, financially as well. david: i assume the income was -- christine: it was divided by 10. it was aed it because job i most enjoyed in government. i was selling funds around the the prime minister new i was this strange animal coming out of private sector and life and corporate life. he had respect and i had huge respect for him. david: when sarkozy does get elected president -- christine: i had no clue about. he asked me to become minister of france. a hotw it was going to be potato anyone at somebody who was international. said give her another job. you where the first woman to be the finance minister of a major company in western europe? christine: i was the first in a g7 country, of many countries actually. david: you were a lawyer by training and you are in charge of finances for france. did you have any background? were you worried about not having background or did your job as a minister of trade help you? christine: my whole background

i feel for christine blasey ford, i know that family too. washington is a small community. silenced, though. >> did republicans in this process do anything to tell women we support you, we want your vote? >> on the front end there was some of that but there was a very conscious decision to go full on behind brett kavanaugh and to not take into account a lot of the fallout that this might cause. i think they were walking a really hard line. i don't even know what to say. if you ask them, they're going to say, well, you know, these couldn't be substantiated. i'm just telling you what -- >> i don't want to suggest that all women care about are things having to do with sexual assault. they care about the economy. >> they care about fairness. >> look, everyone knows they could have done a full fbi investigation, et cetera, et cetera. but i think what really happened here in this process is, and let's just be honest about it, right, kavanaugh was having a really tough time. and then -- and i think there were republicans who had a tough time with kavanaugh. and then donald trump d

of a president from supreme court nominee earlier i spoke with christine pelosi democratic strategist i asked her if brett kavanaugh is now guaranteed is nomination. well starting in july when the vacancy opened up and the the announcement was made that judge cavanagh was going to be the president's choice for the supreme court we knew then that it was quite likely he would be confirmed elections have consequences the republicans have the senate and so it was quite likely that that was going to be the path at the time we debated whether or not we should put a lot of effort organizing effort into opposing him and we thought that because the stakes were so high it was something that we really needed to do on their day in terms of the senate to let people know what was at stake in terms of women's rights voting rights labor rights and also in terms of the house because there are times when the conservative supreme court will make a ruling and then a progressive democratic congress will counter it remember the first bill doctor for barack obama signed as president of the united states dur

i want to bring in cheryl, a friend of christine blasey ford. good evening. i'm so glad you could join us. i really appreciate it. i know that you -- >> thank you very much. >> this has to be an incredibly trying time for christine blasey ford. she's inspired protests, people not only in washington but all over the country, people have been coming forward telling their stories. i know you haven't had much contact if any with her since after the hearings. but how do you think she's handling all of this? >> you know, i think as unflapably as i think she handled having to sort of bare her soul in the most enormous glare of both the media and the american public. she's an unassuming straightforward, honest person, and i am certainly hoping that what she's doing is avoiding the media as much as possible and trying to return to some normalcy in her and her family's life. i think that will take a while. i really do. she certainly sacrificed a lot to come forward. >> and you're a friend and you were there for her right after her testimony in front of the senate judici
