i evoted against clarence thomas. when she decided she was willing to come forward, what i feel badly about is the inability to be able to silence the republican critics on the committee. what people wanted me to do was to gavel down other senators who were harassing her, who were harassing her. and i wish i had had the power or a way to communicate. but you may remember i got in shouting matches with witnesses who were attacking her. i got criticized at shouting at witnesses who were making these statements. but she deserves credit because it took enormous courage for her to come forward. the good thing about what's happening now and why i'm keeping up this college promise tour i'm doing, i go out and it's on us, i go to campus after campus, we're changing the culture. we have to get men involved. the biggest thing that will come from this is from men to stop thinking they can engage in loose talk about women and it not be damaging and be willing to step up and step in when they see it happening and not be silent. >>

probably one that i would love to publish that we did and was clarence thomas. we talked with him about his book. in the end he published with someone else. >> host: there has been a slew of big houses with conservative titles. >> no doubt. it's fascinating and interesting timing. within a month of becoming the president and publisher of regnery because everybody had discovered conservative books, random house started, penguin started sentinel. they didn't exist in the year 2000 and then five years later they were all actively competing for conservative authors. i think it has been healthy and good for us to have to compete with other houses to know that we need to be on our game and approve that there is a great competitive reason for an author to come with regnery. we've had others that have published with us and left to go to a big new york house and came back. we've heard from a number of authors that it was found to be published with the new york house but they confirmed what he knewiththe new widgets that regs the home for conservative authors and that if

he played a key role in the clarence thomas confirmation hearings in 1991. he was the top republican on that committee at that point. and he was one of the senators on the republican side that didn't want to reopen the hearings once anita hill came forward. so something that has been at the forefront of those issues a long time. mitt romney would be the number 1 person to look at. some people indicate that does mitt romney care about utah? he has these mormon ties. you look back to san diego with the multilayers and the car lift, is he too california vers versus utah. other people are chris steward and mia love, republican congressman from utah. she has a tough re-election from been mcadams. some think she might take a look at the race and think she could do better statewide than just in her district. you probably cannot rule out evan mcmullen. he ran for president last time as well. >> fascinating time in utah. today is the day that al franken is leaving the senate, huh? >> right. he has formally resigned. tomorrow we get two new senators, tina smith, the d

. >> thank you look at obama's state of the union, clarence thomas boycotted for a decade. >> how relevant is the state of the union address? half of our viewers didn't watch it. >> it is more of the same. >> more of the same. >> and even the people who watch them, it was sort of a pro-president audience. they gave him 70% combined positives in terms of a 48% very positive and 22% positive response to the speech. >> did he give enough red meat to his base in his speech. >> when he talked about gangs. that's when he got enamored. i wasn't so impressed with young kennedy. he couldn't -- he wasn't ready for prime time. even the substance of what he was saying was important. i think the delivery and the packaging, he wasn't ready yet. he needed to be refined and more ready. but i thought maxene waters was on point when he took trump to task on the things that he said. and bernie sanders also had important points to make. and jill stein came out and talked. >> does this show where is the unity in the democratic party. >> the democrats have an issue. you have a four-headed party right now. vario

david brock, who had made a name for himself two years earlier by attacking anita hill during the clarence thomaswell, it was a right wing body of opinion, which didn't like bill clinton and which was hell-bent to go after him. >> with backing from billionaire richard mellon scaife in pittsburgh, thespectatorhad begun a nonstop assault on the clintons that they internally referred to as "the arkansas project." the initiative began in the days following the death of vince foster in the summer of 1993. but the troopergate article raised the stakes. >> there was a great pushback from the clinton white house and its defenders. one of the lines that was used by the clinton camp is, "if this is really all true, where are the women?" >> it was two sentences buried deep within the article that would prove to be the biggest bombshell. brock wrote clinton had eyed a woman at a reception at the excelsior hotel in downtown little rock. he asked the trooper to approach the woman, tell her how attractive the governor thought she was, and take her to a room in the hotel where clinton would be waiting. while onl

this idea of will it really be year of the women like it was in 1992, that was in the wake of clarence thomasso interesting to see if that happens. you talked about the women running and women showing up in virginia. also saw in alabama particularly with african-american making difference in that race. so fascinating to see. >> so two things, one, i think she is right when it comes to where does this all go? where do we go from here? i think the two parties are in midterm elections about energy and enthusiasm within the base. the women's march is not for everyone but doesn't have to be. because if the democrats liberal base of the democrat party is fired up, that's a huge deal. and we saw it in the virginia state legislature. they won 34 state legislative elections, republican held. >> lost a seat in wisconsin they shouldn't have lost. >> donald trump won by 16 points. >> yeah. >> so i do think that that translation, if you -- frankly, i was surprised impressed that to joan's point i watched it on tv, and walking here to the studio, the rally was close to cnn studio. there were a ton of midte

. >> host: justice clarence thomas told a group recently, in this i country we have lost our unim. we have lost our oneness. that sounded like the way you're describing. >> guest: that's exactly. we need to assimilate the people that are coming in. >> host: so, the tea party came along in 2009. >> guest: right. >> host: what drew him to that initially? you got a chapter here "tea party warrior. pea pea. >> guest: he felt that, again there was this washington consensus of elite establishment republicans, and the tea party, he felt, was the vehicle for actually changing things, actually getting away from some of the policies, for actually doing things like reversing obamacare, which was a huge part of what the tea party was supposed to -- was about. reducing taxes. he felt that there needed to be -- that there was this revolution occurring at the base, which he thinks is happening again with trump, and that -- >> host: but some on the left has helped turn the term "tea party" into virtually pejorative when actually racist -- you see these groups and even in the middle of them -- stev

you and i sat there and covered the clarence thomas/anita hill hearings with an entirely male, all white male senate judiciary committee. that is unthinkable now. it was the year of the woman as many women were elected to the senate in the aftermath of that and more to the house that really helped fuel that change. but the piece is really important because we talked about hillary clinton of course talk add lot about the glass ceiling. there is this interesting and really important lucite ceiling, if you don't mind my using a corny phrase. it's actually relatively easy for women to get elected to legislative bodies from school boards to congress. but those executive roles are the ones they've had a much harder time cracking. and those are of course really big stepping stones to higher office including the presidency. so that's going to be i think the real significance of the 2018 elections. and just as with 1992, really fuel to leap forward in elected office. i think we'll see the result this year. >> a lot of people felt with hillary clinton's failed presidential race that that would sty

publish books and they haven't been able to publish all of them one thing we didn't publish was clarence thomas. i would've loved to publish them and work with him. in the end he publish with someone else. >> there has been a slew of big houses with conservative titles that. >> there's fascinating and interesting timing. within a month it seemed everybody could see conservative books. random house they -- others started threshold. those three did not exist in 2000. five years later they were all actively competing for conservative authors and conservative books. i think it's been a healthy thing. it has been good for us to compete with other houses that we have to be at our game we certainly had authors who published with us, left to go to new york and came back. we've heard from authors that was fun to be published with the new york house. but they confirmed what we knew. it's really the home for conservative authors on if you want a publisher who understands the conservative marketplace better than anyone else and who has an affinity for conservative authors because we do understand how that

many of us remember back in 91 when clarence thomas was having hearings and it was all white men on the senate judiciary committee. it was really interesting this week to see how that's changed. on wednesday, you have an appellate judge being questioned about several sexual harassment cases and had female senators questioning this judge about why wasn't this outrageous behavior, why wasn't this illegal, why didn't you find this clearly troubling contacts to the sexual harassment. and it was such an interesting dramatic moment is you have a female senator after female senator asking this type of question of a male judge who's been serving for a long time. but it's just to be dynamic compared to 91 when they were questioning and it was stark. it was stark. someone did a side-by-side and you would see that at least in the senate we've come a long way but which also reminds you that this were still talking about a white male judge and the prism that he was viewing these cases. >> the other game changing development this week was the appointment to the senate judiciary committee which is suc

she clerked for the supreme court justice clarence thomas. she served as associate counsel and special assistant to president george w. bush. i'm delighted to have her here. she willfor today is speak for approximately 20 minutes, then i will join her on stage for some question-and-answer, then we will turn to all of you for further questions and answers from her as well. with that, please join me in welcoming administrator rao. [applause] >> great. thanks so much to ted for inviting me to be here today and to brookings for hosting this event. event. every time i have a public appearance, i asked my staff and close advisers for jokes. i have to say, no one ever comes up with any. i try to joke about the fact that we don't have any jokes. my chief of staff has said to me, you are the administrator of the office of information and regulatory affairs, it is just not funny. so sorry, i have no jokes. we'll see if i can do better next time. basically, my remarks today, i wanted to discuss the regulatory reform efforts of this administration and to

the senate judiciary committee, many of us remember back in 1991 when clarence thomas was having his hearings and it was all white men on the senate judiciary committee. it was really interesting this week to see how that changed. on wednesday you had an appellate judge being questioned about several sexual harassment cases and you had female senators questioning this judge about why wasn't this outrageous behavior, why wasn't this illegal? why did you not find this clearly troubling conduct to be sexual harassment? and it was such an interesting dramatic moment because you had female senator after female senator asking this type of question of a male judge who has been serving for a long time. he's up for elevation. but it just -- the dynamic there compared to 1991, when they were questioning anita hill, was stark. someone did a side by side of those two, would you see that at least in the senate, we've come a long way. but what it also reminds you of is you're still talking about, you know, a white male judge and he had his prism through which he was viewing these sexual harassment

judges, done willet and jim ho who served as my chief judiciary counsel who was a law clerk to clarence thomas and served as solicitor general of texas. i'm proud they serve on the fifth circuit court of appeals. last, but not least, the president has worked to increase defense spending and shown deft leadership in handling a broad array of threats. i think that is in part due to the incredible team he has surrounded himself, rex tillerson and james madison, secretary of defense. they are a strong and impressive team and they serve the president and nation well by giving the president the kind of advice he needs to keep our country safe and to maintain america's leadership in world affairs. we know, for example, that under our military leader's strategy a, awth -- as authorized and enabled by the president himself, that isis, the terrorist organization, has lost most of its territory and many of its followers. this administration has also strengthened u.s. policy in iran which is the number one state sponsor of international terrorism. he's held syria accountable for crossing red lines when it

of earlier driven by the , average women felt at professor anita hill's treatment during the clarence thomas hearing. you know? outrage. like the growing fury, i felt as a freshman at howard university, watching how professor hill was so crudely taken apart because they didn't believe her. outrage, like that which is liken over 26,000 women, many of you, to reach out to emily's listst -- since the 2016 election. there are future state legislators, mayors, city counselors, members of congress, school board members, district attorney cost waterboard members. you name it. women are coming for it.
