crowley: tremendous. she wanted to do things and get things accomplished and worked on behalf of the mutual interest of our constituents. i have a relationship with chuck schumer, and senator gillibrand as well. but i have a special relationship with hillary clinton. that stems back for her staying at my house when she was doing a tour. she stayed overnight, got to know myself. we have a new board son in the name -- naval academy. she's blown away by that, this little guy she held in her hands is now in the naval academy. it was a genuine relationship and friendship, as well, i maintain to that day. steve: why do you think she lost? rep. crowley: it's a question often asked to me. she did win the popular vote by 3 million, but president trump became president of the. i recognize that. with, failed to connect we as the party, and she is the candidate, to connect with people's lives and what they were dealing with. the opioid abuse, when we bailed out the big banks and saved the big three auto companies, we

crowley: my dad was, my dad was about response ability.oth my parents knew it was a major sponsor ability. -- sponsored -- major responsibility. my dad knew it was pretty big. i would describe it as being in the aaa or minor leagues when it comes to elected office or politics. going to congress was the major leagues. my dad was very in tune with what that was all about. my mom was just very proud. but my fatherl, more than my mom was very in tune. this meant international relations. it meant supporting the military. it meant the budgets. it meant so much in terms of what you can do for your constituents back home and make life for them better. steve: can you explain how the seat opened up and why you decided to run? rep. crowley: it was 1998. my predecessor decided not to run. i was selected by the community of vacancies to fill the vacancy and run in his place. i was preparing to get married in october of that year, which we did. coming

joe crowley, joe crowley. at the very end, "the new york times" turned around and said he did it show up -- did not show up to a debate and did one tweak at joe crowley for not showing up to a debate and sending a circuit, which is absurd. they did not see her coming? why? they are biased. yes they have a bias. it is in favor of politicians, the rich, the corrupt. it is not a conspiracy -- there are good people who work there. there are good people who work across the media. we are not the right wing. we don't call you the enemy of the people. we want you to do a better job. we want you to get to the truth and stop calling things 50-50 when they are not 50-50. climate change is an easy example. let me give you a different example. deficit. how many times do reporters in this city repeat the talking point that republicans care about deficits? there is no basis in reality for that. ronald reagan doubled the deficit. george w. bush took a surplus and turned it into a $1.4 trillion deficit. clinton took a deficit

michael crowley, do you think there's a growing gap between what the u.s. intelligence agencies know and what they're telling the president and what he is saying? >> well, you know, i think that it's not possible that u.s. intelligence agencies are telling the president that things he's saying in public. i just find it incredibly hard to believe that, you know, intelligence professionals are saying that the saudis are innocent until proven guilty. i think it's reasonable for us to take some of the reports coming out of turkey with a grain of salt. the turkish government has a lot of problems of its own, including its fidelity to the truth and information and some of its state media outlets are dubious. but there's a clear picture forming here that is not the one that the president is peddling. and i can't believe it's the one u.s. intelligence agencies are seeing. and i think it's got to be dismaying to intelligence officials to see the president characterizing the story in a way that does seem at odds with a lot of persuasive facts. that said, you don't ge

monica crowley. not monica lewinsky, monica crowley. he went on to make -- be the toast of global society. poor monica lewinsky, always to be called the woman with the blue dress. that's why the power differential matters. that's why these feminists today are total frauds for continuing to prop this up. >> you are pointing to really important dynamics. the feminist movement was supposed to be affording all women the opportunity to make their own choices, whether to get an education or go to work or stay home with their children. right? but over time, it became such a politically charged movement of the left that they began applying the double standard. so the democrats are all for me too unless and until it hits one of their own, like keith ellison or bill clinton. in which case, 25 years ago, however long it was, they circle the wagons around bill clinton because he was right on the issues, particularly on abortion. >> laura: ladies, ladies. we have to leave this. i want to get your thoughts on another issue. the left i don't think was

joining me from new york city, "new york times" opinion editor, monica crowley.t's the end goal for the left ear? >> you know laura, this was george orwell's dire warning coming to pass on that's not an overstatement. the founders made the amendment protecting free speech, the first one, for a reason. you cannot have a truly free society if free speech is infringe judged or sby the president which the first amendment was designed to guard against or by these roving mobs of leftists that control the media and the narrative they use, fear, intimidation, extortion, blacklisting, boycotts and so many other manipulative ways as hammer against anybody whose speech they disapprove of. it is a form of totalitarianism, and if we don't watch out we will end up like europe where free speech is essentially out the window. >> laura: monica, it always ends up boiling over. they tried to do this even with the issue of abortion. the supreme court comes in and finds a right in the constitution that's not there, roe vs. wade. 45 years later we are still debating roe vs. wade, with

thank you to my guests john crowley and jess brammar. back for a longer look at the papers at 11:30. but for the moment, thanks for watching. goodbye. good evening. after a bright start to monday, cloud started to this read its way in from the west. this is how it looked for a weather watcher in western scotland earlier on. there was some late sunshine in london, but even here, the cloud spread from the north—east. and if we look at the recent satellite picture, you can see the way the cloud has been piling in from the atlantic. this stripe of cloud actually runs quite a long way back into the atlantic. it separates warm airfrom the into the atlantic. it separates warm air from the south from cool air in the north, and for most of us, it will be warm air we feel the effects of wild beast some of the next few days. so with the cloud that has been rolling in, some warm and moist, so we will see some outbreaks of rain. pushing outwards, turning mistaken murky for some coarse sand hills in the west. and even where the sky is clearly turning

steve: congressman joe crowley, thank you for your time. >> space -- c-span also set down with retiring congressman gene green to discuss his political. he served in the house its next 93. this is -- since 1993. this is a half an hour. steve: 26 years in the house of representatives, you decided to retire. why? rep. green: 20 years before that in the state legislature and 46 years in public service. i've been married 48 years. only had two years. we decided we wanted to spend more time with our family. four grandchildren that don't live in the houston area, two of them live in south texas, six-hour drive. two of them lived in omaha, nebraska, which is a two hour flight. it's a support system for your children. steve: how did the texas legislature prepare you for congress? rep. green: it prepared to negotiate, having people from different walks of life. i come from an urban area in houston. and in texas, we have a large rural area. i had no idea of agriculture except i like to eat. you get to know them. lature meetsgis only every two years for 130 days. whenever the house is in allion, e

but asjoe crowley has been finding out there's massive demand for it right now.bit of broken ground. this is perfect habitat for them. in recent years a new fishery has opened up on the south coast. the target species may be small, but the money involved is anything but... couple of good ones there. and this is the fish that's in demand — wrasse. now this one in particular is a ballan wrasse but all sorts of wrasse and lumpfish are sought—after because they're so—called "cleaner fish". cleanerfish provide a grooming service for other fish, removing parasites and dead skin, which has made them very attractive to salmon farmers in scotland. in recent years scottish salmon farming has struggled to control sea lice — small parasites that feed on the farmed fish, weakening or killing them. one solution is putting cleanerfish in the pens to peck the lice off the salmon. as a result, there's significant demand for wild caught, live wrasse leading to prices of over £50,000 a tonne, making it i for lb the most valuable fish in europe. they're very close in? yeah, they are

and coming up — on inside out: joe crowley reveals how the salmon—farming industry's demand for livet the most valuable fish in europe. in the past half hour, the uk, france and germany have issued a joint statement condemning the death of the journalist jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul ‘in the strongest possible terms' it comes as pressure grows on riyadh to explain the circumstances surrounding the death of the prominent saudi critic. turkish officials say they have evidence he was murdered, but saudi arabia is claiming he died in a fist fight. in their statement the uk, france and germany say ‘more efforts are needed and expected towards establishing the truth in a comprehensive, transparent and credible manner.‘ meanwhile, the us president has said he is "not satisfied" with saudi arabia's account of the death ofjamal khashoggi. president trump had previously called saudi's explanation "credible" and termed it an "important first step." well i spoke to professor scott lucas —— a professor of international studies at the university of birmingham —— and asked

11:30pm, we will be taking another look at the papers with our reviewers, business journalistjohn crowley and jess brammarfrom huffpost uk. stay with us for that. good evening and welcome to bbc news. more than 200,000 people are now in need of urgent help, following the earthquake and tsunami which struck parts of indonesia on friday. at least 844 people are confirmed dead, but that number is expected to rise. large parts of the coastline of the island of sulawesi were destroyed by the 7.5—magnitude earthquake. many areas outside the main city of palu are still cut off. people there had no warning of what was about to happen, because the country's tsunami alarm system wasn't working. 0ur correspondent rebecca henschke reports. from above, you get a sense of the scale of the destruction here in palu, and the huge task for rescue workers. in palu, more than a8,000 people are unable to return to their homes, many of which lie in rubble. this used to be a road. the residents say the ground rose several metres, swallowing homes and leaving huge rifts along it. translation: the soil somehowjus

joining us monica crowley -- monica we have so many things to get to. so glad we have you. do democrats really believe this extreme behavior is going to carry them to victory in november? where is the line drawn or is the line gone is this. >> the left is either engaged in performance anger or destruction theater. or they are engaged in inciting violence against those with whom they disagree. we've reached a tipping point with the leftist shooting up the baseball field and nearly killing steve scalise. that act of violence i thought would wake up people on the left that they can have their radicalism and try to fundamentally transform the nationan but i thought they woud back off from their incite meant to violence and instead what we've seen is they've actually ratcheted up. because they think it works and inin fact it has not just here t elsewhere around the world. they not backing off. they are actually ratcheting it up. >> laura: this started during the campaign. we saw what happened when he planned to go to chicago. they basically threatened him out of chicago. threate

we saw that in the victory over joe crowley in the primary.ut as you move into more rural areas, you find more moderate center democrats, more representative through andrew cuomo. this is something we're going to see increasingly in the democratic party from 2018 into 2020 as the party tries -- raymond is in burlington flats, new york. go ahead. and rncwhat does dnc stand for? dnc could be democratic national committee are democratic national convention, and the same thing for republicans. rnc could be the republican national committee or the republican national convention, as we get into 2020. host: you talked about republican strongholds in new york state. how does new york city play into that? it's mostly a stronghold for republicans. the 27th district upstate is a republican stronghold donald trump won handily. you can see some republican strongholds on long island, but new york city remains a bastion of liberal, democratic power, except for the 11th district, the district primarily on staten island, where we are seeing an interesting race

joining me now with reaction, mark penn along with monica crowley from the london center for policy research. great to see both of you tonigh tonight. mark, i want to start with you. we've seen some of the left claiming the party didn't really work hard enough to defeat kavanaugh. is there any hope here for some calmer heads to prevail before the midterm? >> i hope so. i mean, any postmortem, likes lindsay coleman susan graham became antagonized and sided with trump. if democrats are going to win, they need to pull over the moderates. it's a moderate country and those of the people who decide supreme court nominations and elections. >> playing the video of them clawing at the door, and it's funny. secondly it's shocking. i volunteered at the clerk, and to actually be at the door of the court with these friends and reactions, i've never seen anything like that. never. >> i'd like to see more democrats upholding our institution at this critical period. our country is all we have in the most important thing is to bring a sense of national unity when things are decided, and i think more democrat

crowley did not get past the primaries.mportant enough to be a factor when people over the next leadership changes? rep. blumenauer: well, therep. blumenauer: second-tier and th ird-tier issues, we do not have a stranglehold with democrats the way republicans do. they allow us to vote on things that are popular and supportive. they do not have to make it a top priority -- they just do not have to put the kibosh on it. democrats going forward on the judiciary committee, on the ways and means committee, on the veterans committee, there are opportunities for them to do this, and these are some of the easiest things to do in the first six months of a new congress, because they are supported by the public, the legislation is already keyed up and ready to go. it is one of these areas of progress that will show that we can get our act together and move forward. it does not have to be the top priority. it is simpler than health care or global warming, and it is supported by the public. i think it is a no-brainer. i think it moves i

here with me now to discuss, we have monica crowley, a senior fellow at the london school for economics. thanks for being here on the first night. is she running? is that why she did this? >> i don't think today she is running. i think she didn't have the day she expected to with the release of that statement from the cherokee nation. she never claimed to be part of the tribe. she was clear saying i have a relative that was cherokee that was proven out by the test. but it's something she fed the gop where they can talk about this instead of talking about the issues. i worry this is a waste of a tremendous political ad. for over five minutes she is talking about their history and overt racism out of the republican party over this, and mimicking native americans which is offensive. trish: i think the concern is as well, you don't want to falsely present yourself as one thing so you get certain advantages in life when maybe you are really not, man today? >> this proves donald trump is running the table and he's defining all the terms in politics and culture. she felt she had to respond. fo

>> laura: joining us now with reaction, monica crowley and leo tir rel. we don't lend much if any credence to anonymous allegations, if you're going to make an allegation like this, you have to put your name to it. but can you see the danger of the believe everyone mantra that was created on the left during the kavanaugh saga? especially as espoused by booker himself. >> sean: >> >> i don't see the similarities between this anonymous person p i am willing to give this person legal representation. if he comes out. i want to take him to the police department and i'll represent him so he can give a complete confession. >> laura: confession? >> he's accusing corey booker, let's not compare this person with professor ford who came out, who spoke. >> laura: it's not ale confession. >> accusation, he's accusing. i'll give him free representation because i don't believe t it's a smear campaign. >> laura: monica. >> well if this accuser wants to become public, and i believe we should respect an accuser's wishes on this, unlike what the democrats did to christine f

i took a writing classroom john crowley is one of the great authors of our time, and i felt of sensibilitythat i had not necessarily filtering of the classes. i guess that since of comfort if you want to put it positively, pickiness. you want to put negatively, i should not constrain myself, i shouldn't try to get myself in a situation where i can be constrained what i can investigate. so going into program was one way to do that, so i found once i got to new york there was a class taught by edmund epstein was one of the original joycean i guess. he'd been studying that sense the 50s. it was very daunting. it still is, but he had encyclopedic memory. he could actually seeing entire operas from memory by himself and had conducted them. he was very attuned to the music of choice so i had this influence come in even while i was programming. ultimately, i guess i acted as a siren song to me and decided i wanted to pursue it as a career. and even then after so many years, feeling constrained by the rigidity of technology i can start if you constrain by the loosey-goosey notice of the literature

colleague, at least in the house, who herself is a history -- she won a primary over congressman joe crowley. she's on the ballot for congress this november and she joins me now. how are you? >> hi, i'm well, how are you? >> how are you feeling today? >> well, frustrated, upset, disappointed. but i'm also fired up. i think that we're going to be really committing very hard not to just organizing through november, but also organizing through the next four, six years, i think, and we really just need to take this country and bring it back to the basics of democracy. >> i want to -- i want -- this is a theme today from republicans about all these protesters there. to me, i sort of feel like yelling at an elected representative is literally the definition of a free society, in a literal sense. that's what a free society is, you can yell at somebody in power. they didn't like it. i want to play you chuck grassley talking about mob rule and get your response. >> they have encouraged mob rule. when you hear things about get in their face, bother people at every restroom where you can find a cabinet

cortez crowley huge upset, joe expected victory. looking for a different job in november. have been there moments where fair estimation is she has not been ready for prime time and her messages have been eyond what a lot of mainstream democrats feel comfortable with. o that end, where do you feel have you fall in the political spectrum for democrat? a tea-party like defining moment, where it was several years ago for the republican. do you align yourself with her policy, feel comfortable with socialist? where are you? mrs. grechen shirley: i'm i'm itely not a socialist, families.r working i was never planning to run for office. up and me mr. king gets says he is bipartisan, look at his voting record. votes with donald trump and the republican party. he votes against labor 60% of time. voted to take health care away district, didn our protect us against taxes going up. voted against equal pay for wom is against, actually supports having muslim americans surveillance, he is against marriage equality. viewpoints.tremist i am running because i don't agree with this viewpoint.
