"wall street journal" reporter byron tower tweeted, quote, i asked cory booker if his remarks in committeetunned. he told me i was violating the constitution for being in his way. white house deputy press secretary raj shah called booker's comments "embarrassing." it turns out the emails are not at all. they showed brett kavanaugh was against racial profiling, telling colleagues he favors, quote, effective security measures that are race neutral, which prompted this, quoting brett kavanaugh did not want to racially profile people after 9/11. bravo, spartacus. ben shapiro road, cory brooker , reality, not a single element of this training is true. continuing to release confidential emails, and we are told that some of them have not yet been clear. >> shannon: trace gallagher, thank you very much. earlier tonight, senator chuck grassley stopped by the skybox where we have been reporting on the hearings this week to discuss today's dustup over the documents senator booker decided to release earlier this morning. >> it is true, they were requested late last night. we have to go to the departme

kennedy: cory booker as one -- >> every time cory booker, he's trying to be how can i be more dramatic. he's at the point where you have gone as far as you can go. kennedy: you are at the point where you feel it's a skit. i said the last few nights. you think this is bad. the next one is going to be insane. if this president has another appointment to the supreme court, i cannot imagine a whom he will pick and b what the reaction will be from democrats. but even the movie, spartacus, mr. booker you can't announce you are having a spartacus moment. other people have to do it. they were like no, he's the only spartacus. kennedy: they released all the stuff, there was nothing secret or confidential. >> it's like running for president doesn't repair you for being president. this process bears no resemblance to the work he's going to be doing on the supreme court. the fact that he can get through this and appear to be calm, who cares. kennedy: did you ever watch the navy seals shows on the discovery channel in they are not really going to be sitting in their under wear at 5:00 in the mornin

>> cory booker released this. the documents that were committee confidential are now postedon cory booker's website. there's no doubt that i agree with what john is saying. this is about showing a fight. that's what the democratic base is demanding. i think you are seeing the two people that are the most talked about likely 2020 presidential contenders on the democratic side of this panel are cory booker and kamala harris. kamala harris in questioning kavanaugh last night had a moment that went viral. she got a lot of attention in the overnight hours about questioning him about any comments he had with a lawyer or a member of a law firm about the mueller investigation, indicating she knows there's something there. her potential 2020 rival, cory booker, who sits next to her on the panel, comes out swinging this morning saying, i'm breaking senate rules, this is my only chance, i'm willing to get kicked out of the senate over this. you have one-- >> there are multiple issues playing out at the same time. you have in

senator cory booker stealing the spotlight at the brett kavanaugh hearing.s the political theater will only backfire on democrats. >> if you're going to choose a tv moment everybody is watching you better make it a good one. this was the goal for him. if he is on your 20/20 fantasy league you could be in a little bit of trouble. the democratic base has shown we fight. we want to fight. one thing they said yesterday was chuck schumer failed them on this nomination. donald trump has a lot to be proud of in this pic. brett kavanaugh has shown he is a judge with wonderful temperament. i do think when this vote is called he will get several democrats to vote with him. he will end up with 54 votes. heather: booker is one of several big names who hinted towards a potential run for the white house in 2020. a dozen house republicans calling out donald trump to declassify key fisa documents on the russia probe. they demand the release of the surveillance renewal applications used to spy on former trump campaign aide carter page. and interviews with doj official, the c

what did you think of that display by cory booker?g his job and, you know, i would take trey gowdy seriously if you could show me the clips back in 2015 and 2016 when he was attacking rand paul for filibustering on the senate floor. who was a presidential candidate or attacking ted cruz when he was a presidential candidate. this is an effort to undermine. >> sandra: he touted this release of documents, cory booker, that was already cleared for release and he called -- he was referring to it as his spartacus moment. >> what i don't understand is why any of the documents were ever withheld. it was confusing for the american people as to why a document on racial profiling was withheld at all. we know that 90% of the writings of brett kavanaugh haven't been turned over. senator booker was trying to highlight that. >> sandra: do you see democrats using this as a moment in some of these cases potential runs for the next presidential election, do you see them putting themselves on display and potentially hurting your party by doing so? >> we

jillian: cory booker is stealing the spotlight.ey gowdy calling out the senator saying it was all about 2020. >> i have known corey since i got to washington. that is not the cory booker that i know, that i watched on television. the shame of it to me is that is what ambition and presidential politics can do to otherwise reasonable people. someone trying to position himself as the front-runner to take on donald trump. >> a wonderful opportunity, the senate did, to have a robust, interesting hearing about judicial philosophy, whether you are a strict constructionist or minimalist, these are legitimate questions reasonable minds can differ. what i watched for the past few days was a bunch of people who want to be the nominee in 2020 and it is sad. jillian: booker is one of several names that hinted towards a potential run for the white house in 2020. day tuned for that. rob: an illegal immigrant wanted for murder in mexico was found hiding in the united states, us marshals find antonio at an apartment complex in south carolina. they

he has even said that he can understand why cory booker did it the way that he did. i thought that representative mike lee came right back and took the ir out of it. move forward. going back and forth. if it is true that cory booker knew that he was going to be able to release these documents because he had already been releasing them, what does this do for the conversation? >> well, the bottom line is that he took a very courageous stand. democrats have essentially no power, right? we have talked about this many times. >> harris: they are not the majority. >> andrienne: they are not the majority. they have to make noise. they have to be courageous. that is exactly what you heard from others. challenging the committee's decision. >> katie: you said in july that you were against it, they have all claims that they want to be thrown out of the senate, bring it on, grandstanding, knowing that the vote has to take place. they said in july that they were opposed to this nomination. it has nothing to do with the documents, transparency, it has everything to do with them doi

what that is an opportunity for, you saw some, senator blumenthal, senator cory booker walked out of the room as they gave their statements. a number of democrats exited, are they coming back, what's happening? we are in kind of a holding pattern and what happens next is that they are set to take that committee vote which would say that they will then proceed with judge kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court. it is a critical first vote, you've heard some senators and the judiciary committee get on the record already with their comments about which way they will vote. and what is specifically important here is that a man who is such a stickler for time, senator and chairman grassley is letting things breathe and others are offering up their time to let their judiciary committee members, their fellow members speak. i want to bring in now republican senator steve daines of montana, great to have you during this moment of breaking news. i'm talking about the technicalities here. first of all, tell me about what's happening if you will, and the tone on capitol hill around judge kava

you work across the aisle with senator cory booker of new jersey. what did you make of his so called surrender to senate rules? he's allowed himself to come if it's necessary to be expelled. we learned that documents have perhaps been cleared for us to see. >> i think the point of all of this is, clearly he is running for president. you've got to appeal to the far left end of the far left right now is in a rage over judge kavanaugh and the fact that this president would have the opportunity to nominate him and get them confirmed and the supreme court. it's all about the emotion on the left, all about these candidates already, some of the senate doing everything they can to appeal to that far left base. it's unfortunate because it really detracts from what should be a process that is befitting of a nominee of the supreme court. >> harris: i wrote down what you said, clearly he's running for president and that would make it purely political. let's do one more quick question on this and i want to move on and talk about the government shutdown potential

cory booker said he was ready to risk expulsion by exposing confidential e-mails. the republicans said it was all a big show. they said they released those e-mails at 5:00 a.m. but tonight that is still a detail that cory booker is disputing. >> bring the charges. i'm going to release the e-mail about racial profiling. i understand that the penalty comes with potential ourselfiou from the senate. >> reporter: but republicans called the move a political stunt, saying the documents in question had been cleared for release hours before the hearing, calling out those across the aisle. >> running for president is no excuse for violating the rules of the senate or of confidentiality of the documents that we are privy too. >> reporter: one of the newly released confidential documents disclosed by democrats, this 2003 e-mail from brett kavanaugh when he was working in the george w. bush white house. i am not sure that all legal scholars refer to roe as the settled law of the land since court can overrule its precedent. >> i think it was over stating something about legal s

together, all the way. >> laura: do you remember when cory booker found himself in trouble for apparentlyaking up a story about being threatened by a drug dealer in newark named t-bone? well, booker's at it again, invoking a fictional character. this time that brett kavanaugh's confirmation hearing. >> i did willingly violate the chair's rule on the committee confidential process. i take full responsibility for violating that, sir. and i violated it because i sincerely believe the public deserves to know this nominee's record, in this particular case, his record on issues of race and the law. this is about the closest i'll ever have in my life to an i am spartacus moment. >> laura: it wasn't spartacus but it was spooficus. >> i am spartacus. >> i am spartacus. >> i'm spartacus. >> i am spartacus. >> i'm spartacus! >> laura: i saw kamala harris down there. it's an email cory booker originally disseminated were already cleared for release but tonight he released more emails that were not cleared to try to write the -- right the wrong of the stunt earlier today. and they should have remained

>> some people wonder if this was a profile in grandstanding by cory booker.ot of republicans, he wants to run for president. we'll see. he put up this big fight. in the past couple minutes, cory booker is releasing what he calls, more quote, committee confidential documents. we reached out to the majority on judiciary committee, to see if that is in fact the case. we don't know, but he made a big to-do, he would be willing to be tossed out of the senate if in fact they felt he violated senate rule 29 which prohibits you from releasing these documents. keep in mind, they haven't kicked anybody out of the senate since 1862. only 15 people have been kicked out of the senate. melissa: we should be so lucky. in fact no, the whole thing, is what the score right now, in terms everybody watching up there? does it feel like the democrats are getting any licks in? has it changed anything? >> i just talked to chris coons, democratic senator from delaware who is on the committee questioned about brett kavanaugh 20 minutes ago. he said i pray i'm wrong about some of my as

cory booker appears to be running for president. >> the democratic senator releasing e-mails despite designation as committee confidential in what he called an "i am spartacus" moment. kavanaugh has written he favors race neutral security practices. senator booker calls the decision to release the e-mails an act of civil disobedience. >>> "the wall street journal" writes this doesn't change our opinions about judge kavanaugh and how the senate is willing to defeat a nominee. booker should be tossed off the judiciary committee. more from jessica schneider on capitol hill. >> reporter: dave and christine, the drama began to unfold when senator booker said he was willing to risk expulsion by disclosing confidential e-mails. republicans called it a show saying those e-mails had already been released at 4:00 in the morning. five hours before the hearing started. republicans further accused cory booker saying he was disclosing this to advance his possible presidential bid. >> sai'm going to release the e-mail of racial profiling. i understand the penalty comes with ousting of the senate. >

i got to get to this, cory booker. cory booker didn't even believe the statements as they were written and signed under penalty of felony, including that ofdi mark judge and others. >> the only person who has denied the event has taken place who said it did not happen is judge kavanaugh. mark judge said i have no memory. this is not it did not happen. pj smith says he has no knowledge of these allegations. that is not it did not happen. leland kaiser said through her attorney she has no recollection of being at a party or gathering where kavanaugh was president. that is not "it did not happen." >> here's what mark judge said in his statement. he says i have no memory of the alleged incident. brett kavanaugh and i were friend. i don't recall the party described. more to the point, this is what he didn't read. i never saw brett act in a manner he described. this is the person in the room with him. but cory booker looks into the camera and makes that statement. i can'tn take him seriously.d. that's one of the main reasons

cory booker being the latest to add some drama to it all, and, david, get your opinion how that willt this process? and how that is affecting sentiment there. not just on capitol hill, but within the country? >> first let's keep in mind that supreme court hearings are where u.s. senators envision themselves as movie stars and love to have their camera time and have their lines before the camera. second, let's keep in mind that democrats have a choice to make. particularly those in competitive elections this year. they can make voters in their state angry by not voting for kavanaugh, or they can make the liberal, progressive donor base upset with them and cut their money off so they can't run the campaign they need to run. so for senate democrats it is a very tough vote for some of them. at the end of the day, kavanaugh is going to win confirmation by bipartisan support. trish: and where does that leave cory booker who is telling everyone that he has confidential stuff that is not actually confidential? >> well, bad research on his part, but again, it gets back to facts don't have to

there is no doubt cory booker wants to be president for united states. for it for nearly 20 years now. one of the things we put together is a list in august of the top rankings. we had booker at seven. one thing we define booker is someone who almost seems like he is acting and i inauthentic. if president obama has the speeches that connect with people that take you sky high, cory booker doesn't have that. he will have to work on his act a bit more so it doesn't seem like an act. >> the style and substance. the republicans said we could release the e-mails. substance failed as well. >> i thought the entire performance was something that was more out of state senator than united states senator. >> harry enten, thank you. >>> a major shift for the u.s. commitment to syria. the state department's envoy says troops should remain until an enduring defeat of isis. that could take a long time although the president suggested a more imminent bupull out. i want to bring in cnn's fred pleitgen in damascus. there are dozens of american troops in and around idlib pr

[laughter] it's talking about the myth of cory booker.jersey he has been a guy who likes the spotlight. he used to camp out on the corner with crack dealers. he used to live in the projects. and some of that ride around with the bullet proof vest. some of that stuff is good as a politician because it shows that you care. when it becomes all about the speck ke spectacle of cory r i think i smell a phony here that's what i think i smell here. >> juan: look at that dagen, what do you think? i'm struck by the idea that the night before i finally get some of the documents unclassified at booker's request. some of the republicans say he shouldn't have said i am spartacus. open season on him. >> dagen: too much to ask for a politician to tell the truth and say i asked for the documents and i got them and here they are. instead, it's the rehearsed theatrics of cor cory booker not like a teenager toddler eaten a roll of toilet paper when parents trying to have cocktail party. >> jesse: did you steal that line from gutfeld? >> dagen: no. i'm workin

cory booker was just about cory booker. all cory booker was about was himself. got to do better than that. these voters in iowa, he is deploying staff in iowa already. they want more than -- from a potential nominee -- they want more than just somebody who is on an endless voyage to the center of themselves. >> shannon: both of them had gotten fact-checked on less than honest things that happened last week. this new poll says that american voters are giving president trump his lowest grade for honesty since being elected. 60 percent to 32% that is not honest. will it matter with his base? will it matter with a key group of independence? >> if you are a member of donald trump space, a hard-core believer, you ain't going anywhere, you are all in. if you are part of the third of the electorate that is all the way in, doesn't matter. he could lie, you excuse it because the democrats in your mind are even worse. the worse, the better, for trump because he has to defeat a democrats or destroy america. it's not that your votes don't count, they are baked into the cake.

brett kavanaugh's hearing marked by fiery exchanges by senate democrats and democratic senator cory booker of documents about the supreme court nominee once deeped cmed confidenti confidential. they are both here. good evening. this is senator booker releasing confidential documents pertaining to comments on racial profiling. watch this. >> i understand the personality comes with potential ousting from the senate. and if senator corbie believes violated rules, i accept my consequences. this is about the closest i'll ever have in my life to an i am spartikus moment. >> the lawyer overseeing the release of the documents both say they were cleared for release very early this morning. what do you make of this? >> well, i think it's a reflection of what a sham this whole process is, it's not transparent. there is tens of thousands of pages of documents that have not even been released with held. the national archives says it will take until october before they can go through these documents and the republicans are determined to ram this through to have some sort of hearing for kavanaugh before

we will listen to cory booker?y had 2% of his record to evaluate in 90% of it has been withheld from senators, 90% of his records over asking to evaluate a candidate and to have intelligent questions and insights into his record for we only have 10% of that record. we can go on and on about the numbers of documents the fact is we are about to proceed with a historic hearing. we about to proceed towards having a hearing on someone having a lifetime appointment on the important court in the land that will effectually so many of the areas of american life. from civil rights to women's rights to access to healthcare and all of this is being decided were going in with only having 10%, access to 10% of the body of work of this man's career. that seems to me common sense, 90% is missing right now but just common sense says we should have access to thoroughly evaluate this person were not asking for anything out of the ordinary and other have said before people can talk about a hundred thousand here but we've gotten far mo

up next, does cory booker regret this?the closest i will have in my life to the i am spartacus moment. >> and we also talk about the serena williams outburst next. ♪ carla is living with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of her body. she's also taking prescription ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor, which is for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus letrozole. patients taking ibrance can develop a a nute miracle, to the moisture-infusing gold series. we give more women great hair days - every day. pantene. who would have guessed? an energy company helping cars emit less. making cars lighter, it's a good place to start, advanced oils for those hard-working parts. fuels that go further so drivers pump less. improving efficiency is what we do best. energy lives here. improving efficiency is what we do best

this was for was cory booker's 2,020 presidential campaign.is fund-raising campaign yesterday and then it carried on into the discussion over the email. he's not the only member of this committee who is planning a run for president. his colleague harris is also thinking of running in 2020. she too has led a round of questioning that baffled or kept brett kavanaugh on his toes. this is in reference to any conversations that he might have had, he said that he had none with the members of the law firm that represented donald trump. this is not just supreme court politics, it is presidential politics in a way that i don't think is working out for some of the democrats. >> one of the documents that they released was about racial profiling. in it, brett kavanaugh writes an email in which he says that she be racial neutral. that doesn't seem too controversial? >> i guess i agree that there are politics beyond the supreme court fight itself. probably not just to go people, probably mostly democrats and the u.s. senate think that they ought to be presi

hearings marked by fiery exchanges between senate democrats and kavanagh and democratic senator cory booker pages of documents about the supreme court nominee once deemed confidential. so let's discuss now. commentators are both here. good evening. keith, i want you to hear this, this is senator booker's justification in releasing confidential documents pr taning to kavanagh's comments on racial profiling. watch this. >> i understand that that -- the penalty comes with potential ousting from the senate. and if senator cornyn believes that i have violated senate rules, i openly invite and accept the consequences of my team releasing that e-mail right now. this is about the closest i'll probably ever have in my life to an i am sparticus moment. >> that's dramatic stuff. senator grassley, the cha irman of the committee, bill burke, the lawyer overseeing the release of the bush era documents both say they were cleared for release very early this morning. so, keith, you first, what do you make of this? >> well, i think it's a reflection of just what a sham this whole process is. it's not transpa

cory booker admitted to groping a girl in high school in a stanford university column.n blueprints that flooded the internet has resigned after he was arrested. cody wilson charged with sexual assault in texas and fleeing to taiwan. he is free on $150,000 bond, made headlines after a judge blocked him from posting the gun blueprints online but skirted the ruling by selling them for any price. >> border patrol agents make a major bust and uncover 100 illegal immigrants stuffed in tractor-trailers, the two smuggling attempt happening in laredo, texas. no one was hurt despite one trailer reaching temperatures of 90 °, 114 people were taken into custody. rob: people in the path of severe storms as major flooding sweeps the parts of the us. jillian: factory workers risky by a bulldozer after they were tracked by floodwaters raised by heavy rain in new jersey, the threading system moves into the region today and we are getting the satellite pictures from nasa showing polluted carolina rivers spilling into the ocean after florence. look at that. rob: what is all that pollution

how about cory booker. did you watch the performance? he ran newark, new jersey into the ground, and now he wants to be president, right? what was the moment he said he had? i don't think so. i think we take curt douglas at his prime. he ran newark into the ground. now i dream of these people every night. the only thing i worry about is some total unknown nobody ever heard of comes along. but honestly, with what we have done on jobs, on our country, on our military, we are going to talk about our veterans. look in your case, energy, look what we have done on energy. who the hell can beat us? who can beat us? one of these people said recently, and they hated to say it. but trump has actually fulfilled more promises than he promised. it's true. look what we are doing. 4.2% gdp. er point is 3.5 trillion dollars and 10 million jobs. when i took it over, our country was headed south. we were going down. i said 4.2? you would be 4.2 negative. that's the way we were headed. perhaps nothing is more dangerous than the democrats push to abolish ve

cory booker's behavior? >> i can't comment on that chris . >>chris: why not? >> the rules of the ethics committee prevent any member from commenting on whether a matter is before the committee or not. >>chris: so you cannot deny this issue of what he did in releasing these documents is not before the company? >> i can't comment on that. >>chris: okay. final question and that is a general one about the kavanaugh nomination. does the president deserve difference from the senate when he appoints someone to the supreme court who is clearly within the judicial mainstream. here are the four current justices appointed by democratic presidents. ginsburg got 96 votes. breyer 87. sotomayor, 68. kagan, 63. all were clearly qualified and you went to law school with brett kavanaugh and you both clerked in the same courthouse in delaware. i can understand you don't like some of his opinions but isn't he clearly qualified and within the judicial mainstream? >> well chris, as i said in the hearing. i've known judge kavanaugh for 30 years and i know him to be an intelligent, d

one of the biggest moments was cory booker's moment where he said that he would release the committeeid release those e-mails. mitch mcconnell called it unusual and talked about a possible ethics investigation surrounding that. with me, our supreme court guru, joan bissics. cory booker said, bring it on, i know i'm violating the rules, but i think it's that important. >> yeah. it shows that he did actually violate some of the senate rules. that was a question that occurred yesterday, whether or not the documents that he did release were, in fact, confidential or not. what we do know is there were four documents he released that the committee had green lighted for released. he released more than a dozen other documents that were considered confidential. he also read from confidential e-mails in a closed -- during the open hearing as well, in which the republicans accused him of breaking the rules. john cornyn tweeting this morning that there should be an ethics investigation to look into cory booker's handling of this. clearly, this is something booker is open to, saying that he said b

cory booker wants to be known as a guy who fought it, even if it's losing. that's about 2020.ase energizing piece to this, i think. there's no question that that's on display, too. should be with something this close to an election. >> elections have consequences, says captain obvious. >> very quickly, lindsey graham two days ago said if you want to pick justices more in your liking, you need to win elections. if i was a democrat i would cut that and put it in ads and send it to every one of my base voters. he is right, that's 100 3 0e100. >> that's what turned -- has turned out for years many republican voters and not so much on the democratic side. this is what you are seeing. great to see you. thank you. >>> coming up, moments from now, former president obama is set to re-enter the political spotlight with a speech coming up in illinois. aides say it will be his sharpest critique yet of president trump. what's that going to look like? that's next. f hands. who wants customizable options chains? ones that make it fast and easy to analyze and take action? how about some of th

good to have y'all here, dan, let me start with sparticus moment, cory booker turned out willingnessfall on the sword as he was putting it was all an act that he had permission to release the papers that he claimed he was going to release in a very self-sacrificing mode. he had permission to release those the night before. >> yeah, we all remember kirk clowglas, cory booker as far as you can get from the bravery of that movie.
