in terms of whistle-blower protection, i call on chuck grassley to just get out there now. i worked with him on the whistle-blower protection act many times. where is he? where are these republicans? they know, they say quietly according to republican friends of mine, that they're just disgusted, troubled and worried. get out there, put your country over your party. this whistle-blower complaint is so clear. a republican inspector general said it was credible, and we have a president who is breaking the law and we have his minions covering it up. it's up to the republicans to do what the republicans did during the nixon days, step out and lead the way here for justice. >> i believe the expression that you were referring to was a fish stinks from the head. i believe that was it.

chuck grassley used to stand up for whistleblowers all the time. where is he now? is the so-called whistleblower caucus going to get engaged and get the facts? >> especially since president trump has already labeled them as partisan, which we don't know that he knows who the person is. >> we're not in ideal circumstances, the most of the obvious thing in the world. what i mean is, this whistleblower's identity, i'm not sure it can be protected now. it's not the press's fault, it's not anybody's fault, but the fact that the trump administration mishandled this thing the way it did. we don't know what the whistleblower thinks, but the reporting is they want to testify. >> wants to speak to congress. >> wants to speak to congress. does that person believe there's a way for that to happen and not have their identity known? if they think that, they're

chuck grassley said on the senate floor. all the news that's fit to print.ver -- how could any novice editor think it was fit to print unless he or she had a book they wanted to move. >> the two "new york times" reporters got a contract to write a book full of dirt on brett kavanaugh. they failed to find any. if you don't find information to support the allegations that are out there, they should have the honesty to report it. they should have something in the book that is blockbuster. they have quotes on the record about how she didn't believe her friend. we first reported that in detail on justice on trial. that's block busker stuff. they chose to release this other information that turned out to be wrong instead. lou: let me get your sense of two things. what is -- what can we do to stop this kind of politics of personal destruction on the part of the left? frankly, left or right, it's got to stop. >> it absolutely need to be taken seriously. one of the things that's interesting is nobody has been held accountable for what they did to kavanaugh last year.

not even anything for the accuser himself. >> neil: we are monitoring chuck grassley on the senate flooring at "the new york times" story that since had to be clarified concerning another accuser that brett kavanaugh had assaulted her in college. turns out the accuser doesn't remember the incident or the alleged assault and their much bee might do you hear about the case that can be proven. grassley himself said, who will watch the watchmen when stuff like this happens, referring to the press in this country. we are following that and also following the ongoing strike into its first full day involving 50,000 general motors workers who are pushing for better conditions, better working conditions, better pay and better benefits. >> neil as we speak, the lieutenant governor garland gilchrist of michigan is here right now standing by these picketers. also the negotiations are going on a few miles from here, and that will happen behind closed doors. and because of the strike in part, and a key sticking point right now is gm's footprint in mexico. and according to our source so far as refusing

you wrote a letter to that is effect, i think -- is it true, did you write a letter to senator chuck grassley try to get him to investigate or look into this? >> i've been told by chairman grassley, senator grassley was the chairman at the time of the judiciary committee to direct credible allegations to the fbi because that's who was investigating. mr. steyer had tried repeatedly to contact different folks who he knew he reached out to me late that week a second time and asked for my help. he was very concerned about not having this public because he runs a nonpartisan organization that does great work here in washington. so i sent a letter directly to the director of the fbi, but i copy ed that letter to both the majority and minority -- the republican and democrat leaders of the senate judiciary committee. as you well remember, alisyn that week of that additional background information that senator flake's dramatic action made possible was a somewhat chaotic week where it was difficult for many folks who were trying to get information into the fbi to contact them. ms. ramirez's attorneys g

had a great meeting with chuck grassley, johnierness, mike brown. we had -- kim was there. we had some terrific people. john thune. we had a meeting on ethanol. we had a meeting on guns. separately and different people. i think we made some good progress on background checks and guns. i think we had a great meeting on ethanol for the farmers. i think we had our ethanol meeting was great meet, let's see what happens. but there's been nobody better to farmers than donlt trump, that i can tell you. i think we made a lot of progress on ethanol. i think we made a lot of progress on guns, yes. >> [inaudible] president trump: at some point, certainly they wanti think it it will happen. we will see. kim jong-un, i think something can happen, yes. reporter: on the military. are puttingys you national security at risk. democrats are calling for a vote to overturn your national decision. what is your response? pres. trump: the border is being built. we need the wall for purposes of national security. the military is behind it all the way. any project that may delay, it is only a delay

we'll also show you remarks by senator chuck grassley, a member of the judiciary committee who chaired when justin kavanaugh was

chuck grassley said on the senate floor, all the news fit to print. could any -- i don't know, novice editor ever imagine that was fit to print? how could any cub reporter think that was fit to print unless he or she had a book they wanted to move. >> these two "new york times" reporters got a contract to write a book full of dirt on brett kavanaugh. they failed to find any, and they pretended to have it. it's important to have the honesty to report it. they have on the record from leland keyser that she doesn't believe her friend. that's blockbuster stuff. they choice to release this other information that turned out to be wrong instead. lou: let me get your sense of two things. what can we do to stop this kind of politics of personal destruction on the part of the left? left or right, it's got to stop. >> it absolutely need to be taken seriously. one of the things that's interesting is nobody has been held accountable for what they did to kavanaugh last year. there were criminal referrals sent to the department of justice. none of the senators have

chuck grassley has long been a champion for whistleblowers.t will be interesting to see if those in the republican party can call out wrongdoing in the government, if they're going to be protected. >>> the internet was not happy with "the new york times" reporting on the identity. canc cancel "the new york times" on twitter. > >>> the number of refugees allowed into the u.s., will hit a record low. new rules from the white house, next. - in the last year, there were three victims of cybercrime every second. when a criminal has your personal information, they can do all sorts of things in your name. criminals can use ransomware, spyware, or malware to gain access to information like your name, your birthday, and even your social security number. - [announcer] that's why norton and lifelock are now part of one company, providing an all in one membership for your cyber safety that gives you identify theft protection, device security, a vpn for online privacy, and more. and if you have an identity theft problem, we'll work to fix it with our milli

i spoke to chuck grassley about the concerns being raised, about the whistleblower. grassley has long advocated for whistleblower protections, and i questioned the accuracy of this whi whistleblower? it's also being said this whistleblower may have been involved in treasonous activity. >> since i know a lot of whistleblowers, i suggest the whistleblower come and talk to me. >> is that an appropriate use of office, do you think? >> would you maybe, through your news media, you can -- i think we'll go up here. through the news media, maybe you can get the whistleblower ploer norks r any contact with the president not call it contact in any way. one democratic senator wants a bipartisan investigation on his committee to look into the matter. >> that's why we need to see the transcripts. so before we make a full judgment, with the idea that potentially the president of the united states is trying to influence american aid contingent on trying to get dirt on a political opponent, i hope that's not true. >> warner would not say if it would mount to an impeachable offense,

senator chuck grassley was the chairman of the judiciary committee during the brett kavanaugh confirmation. take a listen. >> when they refer to reporters, journalists as the police of the democratic system but today i'm reminded of a very old adage, who will watch the watchmen. >> you been in the news business a long time. how high does this failure go? >> it is hard to know but there was a time not many years ago when the new york times simply would not have done anything like this. i remember nearly days of the reagan administration in the 80s one reporters for the washington post were editorializing like mad in their coverage of reagan, donald trump -- president reagan's economic program being battled in congress and the new york times didn't do that. they covered it fair and square straightahead and that was the way the times was in one of the things, kind of a national treasure really because it was a newspaper with enormous reach, huge circulation, big market, bureaus all over the world much of which it still has. what has changed is the long-standing tradition of neutral news cover

signed: chuck grassley, president pro tempore. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the senate stands adjourned until 12:00 p.m. on tuesday, >> now back to live coverage of the award ceremony with hillary clinton. >> everywhere she has spoken out in the strongest terms against the scourge of human rights abuses from the civilian deaths in syria to the human rights crises in venezuela and north korea. to the treatment of migrant children at the us border and the persecution of people in myanmar and so many other abuses, and most recently she declared climate change a growing extremely serious threat to human rights. as she has rightly said we can only attain peace, security and sustainable development for all societies when we advance the dignity and equality of all human beings now for the citation, for her leadership and humanity and dedication. for being a voice for the voiceless and an advocate for victims of human rights violations around the world and recognizing the rights of women, half the population of this wo

senator chuck grassley, who obviously ran the kavanaugh hearings addresses everyone. >> took 25 written out the information we received, including some of the ugliest of plans. in the end, there was no credible evidence to support any of the allegations. my office never received anything from mr. stier or his unnamed friends. after interviewing eight people related to the ramirez allegations, not once was mr. stier's name mentioned. >> mollie: there were all sorts of allegations. this one we are told was told to to senate democrats. they didn't even credible as though julie allegations. if it were something that did need investigations and the senate democrats didn't think that, that is really saying. he has never said that he's talked to the actual majority. >> susan: he wrote a letter saying that he would like the fbi. if you are venting a supreme court nominee, you ought to follow up on an allegation. the u.s. senator says this is worth doing. >> mollie: no, he knows how the allegations are set up. he was part of the discussion about that. you don't want to make any allegation. you d

senator chuck grassley has long channelled whistle blowers. my hope is that senator grassley will prove his continued commitment to the idea that whistle blowers help keep our country accountable and open. he also will press for that. >> let's talk about why you're there in iowa. you're campaigning and i have to ask you, we know the doj is involved in advising the dni to withhold the whistle-blower complaint from congress. is attorney general bill barr trying to cover up the president's wrongdoing? senate judiciary committee. >> that would certainly be the implication. yeah, i'm on that. i was very concerned about some of the actions that the attorney general took. the ways in which he slow rolled and mischaraterized the mueller report anything. he is not president trump's personal lawyer. that honor belongs to rudy giuliani, among others. we all saw how rudy giuliani conducted himself on the chris cuomo. allowing radio psy sense should be press are for transparency. >> senator koomts, thank you so much. good luck. >> thank you. great to be wi

senator chuck grassley was the chairman of the judiciary committee. >> i think when we refer to reportersournalists, as police of our democratic system, but today i'm reminded of a very old adage. who will watch the watchmen? >> mike: if you've been in the news business a long time, how high does this failure go at the newspaper? >> when "the new york times" simply would not have done anything like this. i can remember back in the early days of the reagan administration in the 80s when reporters for "the washington post" where editorializing like mad in their coverage of reagan economics, which was being battled about in congress. "the new york times" didn't do that, "the new york times" covered it fair and square and straight-ahead. it was kind of a national treasure really, huge circulation, big market and bureaus all over the world to come up much of which it still has. what's changed though is that long-standing tradition of neutral news coverage is gone. and the times now find itself in situations where it pursues as it did for example the trump-russia collusion story which was, it t

and chuck grassley said he'll defend chuck at all cost and we're going hear more about this big correctionbsolutely. griff jenkins thank you and we're going discuss basically where we go from here. you know, you have donald trump saying, kavanaugh should sue for liable we have joe billedden saying well we're republicans pressuring the tbig to under investigation or not investigate where do we go from here? >> look i would say this has a major walk back by "the new york times." this is a story that was not vetted. the alleged victim was not the person who brought this to the attention. she, in fact, she has friends who say she doesn't recall the incident, i mean, that was really borderline negligent reporting not negligent reporting look what you said is true. could brett kavanaugh have a case for defamation that the hard case to prove. is he going pursue it probably not. probably just speak to continue to vet these stories you know to make sure they're attacked and especially when they have no credibility. and look as far as the deems they jumped onboard without actually having information

there were also two criminal referrals by senator chuck grassley and the left's latest attempt to derailupreme court justice brett kavanaugh and to intimidate the supreme court of the united states. neither of those criminal referrals have been charged. why is the justice department apparently so uninterested in justice when it comes to their own? well, joining us tonight congressman louie gohmert who serves on the house judiciary committee, a member of the house border security caucus and the influential freedom caucus and a great american. congressman, great to see you. >> great to see you, lou. lou: i have to ask you, i mean, what goes through your mind when you listen to horowitz, as you have, and hear this -- i mean, it's just blather. it means nothing. and this whole -- sorry -- process has been basically it seems orchestrated to give everyone who is guilty and culpable of crimes against the nation sufficient time to hide their tracks, to bury evidence against them, and to cover up completely what is the worst scandal in american political history. >> i agree with you on all of tho

in june the state department wrote chuck grassley that the departments diplomatic security has issued3 violations and seven infraction incidents, and that the number will likely change as their review progresses, if diplomatic security notes that they mishandled classified information that could make it more difficult for that person to receive a security clearance in the future. as it has been going on for years, senators are pushing the state department to finish this review quickly. calling investigations from the fbi and from congress. >> bret: live at the state department, thank you. the stocks are up today, the s&p 500 finishing 19, and rose 60. in international news, it is just after six and october 1st, and a big day there and in china, it is the 70th anniversary of the communist party taking power. protesters in hong kong calling it a day of grief. and preparing for what could be more violent demonstrations. greg palkot is in hong kong today. >> hong kong residents forming a human chain along the waterfront monday night, their chant was fight for freedom, stand with hong kong

sat around, chuck grassley was there, joanie earnst, a group of great peek. -- people. >> does it make sense democrats are going after one of their own, after biden's gaffes when something like that could be a unified attack against trump, no? >> it will be. it is a question of time, right? part of what is the benefit of being incumbent is you step back, generally, in this case president trump won't face much real opposition in his bid for re-election on the republican side, so the democrats are going to sort of box with each other and give the president time to take shots like that. let's not kid ourselves, the time will come when the president's rhetoric like that, dments about being orange because of light bulbs and first clip that you showed was his sort of -- part of his climate change, anti-new green deal shtick he does. whichever democrat has the opportunity will use all of that no doubt as a way of trying to make the case to the american public that president trump isn't fit to be reelected to the office. >> thanks, guys. >> thank you. >>> another tropical storm is gaining stea

apparently reported to senator chris coons, a democrat, who advanced it to the fbi, copied senator chuck grassleyote, and then it went nowhere. >> yeah, we're told we saw this letter, it went to the fbi cc-ing the judicial committee. he told christopher wray, the fbi director, about this. according to coons' office, there was no conversation with the fbi afterwards, they simply acknowledged receipt of this letter. you'll recall at the time there was a flurry of allegations coming out against brett kavanaugh. it was unclear what was real, what was not real. it opened up this vicious partisan debate which led to a second hearing for the woman who made these allegations that kavanaugh apparently did that he denied at a party in high school, and that led tie supplemental background check investigation, a second fbi investigation. the question now was that a limited investigation? we know it was limited. was it too limited, is the ultimate question democrats have been raising since then and continue to raise, and now you're saying you're hearing those presidential candidates saying, it's time to impea

. >> reporter: also yesterday, chuck grassley defending kavanaugh vigorously.t clear that anything will come of these calls from the 2020 democrats but one thing is for sure, we're probably going to hear more about it today. it's a big correction. heather: yeah, i mean, once it gets out there, the correction never gets as much coverage as the original story. but hopefully it will this time. thank you very much, griff. well, senator ted cruz was one of the lawmakers inside last year's hearing with then nominee brett kavanaugh and his initiale ford. and he said this is part of the same circus we saw during the confirmation process. >> they apparently spent 10 months with undercover reporters trying to track down every person that went to school with justice kavanaugh 30 years ago. it's an amazing level of reporting, trying to dig up any dirt they can on the guy. i think that follo follow up wie rarrather shameful circus we sa. we held a hearing, we invited the principal witness to testify. i think this article shows the obsession with the far left, trying to smea

we can also look at chuck grassley, senator grassley. as far as fusion gps is concerned, sean, they are the epicenter, the epicenter of what i call a soft coup on the president of the united states. absolutely what devin nunes is doing right now what the congressman is doing the right thing by suing them. because they have to give us information. this appears to be the only way is by suing people like this in court and companies, this private entity which was working with the russians. we know they were connected and we know they were connected to the russian attorney, remember that went to go meet with don jr. so we know that all of this was happening. and of course, christopher steele. and we also know that comey isn't telling the truth, like you said, as well as john brennan, james clapper, samantha powers, -- >> sean: susan rice. >> susan rice. >> sean: and barack obama, barack obama. >> they need to be held accountable. >> sean: this would be his counterintelligence investigation. congressman, we are expecting a pfizer report from t

we had a great meeting with chuck grassley, mike rounds. we had kim was there. iowa. we had some terrific people. john thune. we had a meeting with different people. i think we made some good progress on background checks and guns. i think we had a great meeting for the farmers. i think we had our ethanol meeting was a great mealing. there's been nobody better to farmers than donald trump, that i can tell you. i think we made a lot of progress on ethanol. i think we made a lot of progress on guns. >> when do you expect to have a plan? >> you meet kim jong-un sometimes this year? >> at some point, yes. he will certainly they want to meet. they'd like to meet. i think it's something that will happen. we'll see. kim jong-un, i think something can happen, yeah. >> what about the military. we're putting national security at risk and democrats are calling for a road to overturn your national emergency. what's your response to that? >> the wall is being built. we need the wall for purposes of national security. the military is behind it all the way. any project that they may

. >> and it turned out it was just an accounting area, but you had chuck grassley saying heads should roll. we move from $16 muffins to millions of dollars of military funds that were used to fly planes to this airport in scotland for a refueling that cost the taxpayers more money than it should have simply to keep an airport in operation to help the president's scottish golf course. this follows what happened earlier in the week when he diverted money from the military, military schools, day care centers to fund his wall. for a president who talks about being pro-military, he's often anti-military. >> sir, isn-- sarah, isn't this some cause, some challenging prospects to at least say this is going to look bad to voters, this is going to look hype critical, and it is absolutely a credit cards contradiction? aren't they concerned about the political fallout that this may have with voters? >> i wish they were concerned, but no, i don't think they're concerned. i think mainly they're focused on figuring out how they can o stay on team trump as clearly as possible and demonstrate to voter

this was a whitewash designed by chuck grassley and mitch mcconnell to get brett kavanaugh confirmeduickly. the fbi was given a completely impossible assignment of doing a thorough investigation in a ridiculously short period of time, which they did not do, because they couldn't do. and what we're seeing now is that there was a lot more they could have done. could they have proved, for sure, that brett kavanaugh had lied about his relationships in high school and college? i don't know. but this was a fake investigation designed to get brett kavanaugh confirmed. that's what it didp. but the truth about the allegations is certainly unknown. >> so what's going to be the impact, if any? because you see these democratic presidential candidates now saying he should be impeached. >> zero. nothing. brett kavanaugh is going to be on the supreme court for the next 30 years. that's what this is going to be. you know, mitch mcconnell, you know, phil was talking about the long ball. mitch mcconnell has always had his eye on the long ball when it comes to the judiciary. he is doing anything -- the
