john clune, the lawyer for debbie ramirez, tweeting this from debbie ramirez, quote, thinking of youne. they want us to feel alone and isolated, but i'm there, wrapping my arms around you, and i hope you feel the people of this nation wrapping their arms around all of us. holding you up in spirit. that from debbie ramirez. >> and once again, the more that this hearing becomes about that, about the movement of women who are sick and tired of men abusing, harassing, degrading them, the more beneficial this is to the democrats, to professor ford, to the debbie ramirezes of the world, and the more it's specifically about brett kavanaugh and the allegations against him, the more it's beneficial to kavanaugh. when president trump comes out and makes it about the movement, he hurts himself and he hurts brett kavanaugh. >> and i know you want to weigh in, senator, but the mood today with the me too movement is a lot different than it was in the early '90s. >> i get that. and i think what republicans believe is that democrats, for partisan and for political purposes, have weaponized the me to

i think that debbie should go to the u.n. she is the ultimate diplomat making people from -- not only across the united states but across the world who came to san francisco welcome the way she extends programs. really and truly brought the world to the commission office and department offices. thank you for all that. it was a beautiful event. kudos to everybody who worked on that. it was wonderful. >> the newest commissioner will chime in. i didn't get to make it to all the events. the one that really stands out in my mind was the reception at the department had. i came early and i stayed late. it was an opportunity for me to talk to a lot of members of the department at every level that are doing so much great work. everyone was excited about that week. the thing that really stood out to me was the incredible moral and enthusiasm of this department. it real see stands out. it really impressed me. i think it's what motivates everybody to do all the great work we're doing. you all are very enthuse attic anenthusiasticand it s

i discovered debbie was very worried about fitting in.he felt everyone at yale was very rich, very smart and very sophisticated and that as a puerto rican woman from a less privileged background she was an outsider. her response was to try hard to make friends and get along. based on my time with debbie, i believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward and i cannot imagine her making this up. based on my time with brett, i believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that debbie described. >>> that's brett kavanagh's freshman roommate at yale. he believes brett kavanagh's accuser over brett kavanagh. and so brett kavanagh's credibility is on trial and he lied yesterday on fox news. he lied about being a legal drinker in high school. he never was. and he portrayed himself as a light drinker when he tried to and maybe succeeded at drinking a keg of beer senior year. his best friend mark judge, who dr. ford says was a witness and a participant in brett kavanagh's sexual assault on her, wrote a book about being a

harvey and debbie had big plans for that boat. they'd talked about it ever since their first date. >> he says, "what do you want to do when you retire?" and i said, "i want to sail all over the world." >> reporter: it was her dream of a lifetime and now debbie actually found the man who shared it. they married at the dawn of the new millennium, right here on the front porch of their new texas home. all that adventure to look forward to. and now harvey had invited steven to go along as chef on their beloved yacht. steven moved aboard, lived with them on the boat. but before they set sail, there was some work to do. >> he had bought this kind of basically old rusty tub, right? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> reporter: greg labano helped harvey fix up the old tub. greg fashioned all the stainless steel trim. felt a connection with harvey too. >> he was a wall street guy, investment banker. rejecting society. >> a little bit like you had been. >> yeah, yeah. i'm an outlaw mentality. that's why we bonded, you know. >> reporter: though as greg

ford or debbie ramirez are taking questions. you're never going to find out what really happened, or you're certainly not going to find out any corroboration. it makes it a lot easier to just ignore these women if they're going to yes the actual women and judge kavanaugh. >> mr. clune, i know you said you want and your client wants to speak to the fbi and would happily do so under pain of perjury in order to have this matter investigated properly. the white house and the republicans in the senate seem adamantly dug in against that process. they do not want the fbi to reopen its background investigation of judge kavanaugh. if they will not budge on that issue specifically, how -- how else would you want to proceed? if the fbi investigation isn't going happen, what do you think should happen next here in terms of having your client treated fairly and having this allegation considered fairly? >> well, first of all, i think that would be a real failure on the part of the senate judiciary committee if they were not to open an fbi inv

ford and debbie ramirez. but to stand up also for sandra bland and just a little girl who right now does not have food in her refrigerator and the ability to live in a safe society where gun violence is not something in her community. all of those issues must come together. if you call yourself a feminist, it cannot just be about one issue. it must represent all of our issues. [cheers and applause] and i will say to you as a black woman and a mother of a 19-year-old young black boy, that black people, black women particularly must be censored in this discussion in order for us to say that anyone is free. if black women are not free, no one is free. [cheers and applause] and i am so proud to bring someone to you today who is not just a friend who i love in general, but a trailblazer, someone new in the spirit of harriet tubman and sojourner truth and so many who came before her decided to stand up and say me too. a long time before it became popular, before the cameras showed up, before people began to talk ab

thank you, debbie, thank you everyone for being here. next week, san francisco will be getting a lot of attention, a lot of attention for the right reasons, for someone that we need to start focusing on action for now, and that is dealing with the fact that climate change is real. we are struggling in, you know, this country now sadly because we have a president who basically doesn't believe that that's the case, that doesn't believe we should be focusing on pushing forward innovative solutions and new ideas for the purposes of making sure that we are leaving this planet for the next generation better than we found it. dealing with the problems of today are definitely important, but what about the future? what happens when we are in a situation where we're not making the right decisions today? fortunately, san francisco has always been a global leader in environmental issues, and we have champions zero waste policies, advanced clean energy initiatives, pushed for public transportation to cutback our emissions in our home to some of the m

i do believe debbie ramirez's account.they were and hopefully they will speak truthfully to the fbi. >> and liz, you see a college friend of yours on his way to possibly a big job, as big a job as you can get really, and he starts having to talk about his drinking publicly and he understates that it, why wasn't that something you could just let slide? >> because that was blurring the difference between truth and falsehood, and for somebody who is a federal judge and in line potentially to be in the highest court in our country, there can be no blurring of truth and falsehood. there can be no alternative facts. we need somebody who stands by truth and justice. >> and lynn, certainly there are dozens of other yale people who certainly saw the same thing you did at the same parties. they're not coming forward. what made you decide that you couldn't just sit back when you heard brett kavanaugh say these things? >> well, i tend to agree with liz that it's really important for people that feel that there's a need for truth in to

is it the white house position that debbie ramirez should testify before the senate on thursday? >> i have the same reaction, that is a new position and it's certainly not the position as far as i'm aware of charles grassley, the chairman of the judiciary committee and the republicans who run that committee. everything they have done is to try to keep that hearing as narrow as possible to his word against her word. if this had been a legitimate real investigation, there would be other witnesses. debbie ramirez would be one, mark judge would be an obvious person to call as a witness, you know, the guy who was allegedly part of the assault on ms. ford. i mean, this is -- that's how you do a real investigation is you try to get corroboration or the lack thereof for multiple stories. i have seen no interest on the part of the republicans who run that committee in calling ms. ramirez, but that would be an appropriate way to deal with it, i certainly agree. >> it's also very possible that the president will not second that notion on twitter this morning or later today in that, in fact,

debbie ramirez, we see you when we believe you. anita hill, we have seen you fight for 27 years so that this wouldn't have been for anyone else. we have always believed you. since #metoo rabbi will comment naming and speaking aloud their experiences uninterrupted. the survivors sharing their pain, bravery and anger has begun to change the way survivors are heard and believed. it has led to extraordinary moments of individual accountability that seemed impossible only a few ago. get these moments of individual accountability are not the lasting change we need and deserve. this moment reminds us that the #metoo movement is a sea change in our culture. one moving every institution, workplace, schools, churches and our senate who believe us. this movement -- the survivors are more than their stories. survivors are strategists, leaders of organization. survivors are organizers and the venus to rethink how we shape every single system and what we could do differently in every step of our journey to end violence. repeat after me. from rob

but they do plan to reach out to that accuser, debbie ramirez, to see what story she has to tell, but there's no sense of whether or not she will come for the thursday hearing, which right now is slated to just have two witnesses. just have christine blasey ford in the first panel, brett kavanaugh in the second panel, responding to her accusation that he assaulted her back in the '80s when they were in high school, but nevertheless, very turbulent at the moment. republicans plan to push ahead. the leadership in particular is trying to make the case that this is all appearing to be a political effort to drag down brett kavanaugh with unsubstantiated claims. whether that works with their swing voters remains to be seen. a lot will be determined in the next couple days. >> before you go, can you clarify something for us? this new yorker piece talks about some congressional staff on the hill knowing of these claims and allegations by debbie ramirez, that college student at yale with kavanaugh, before the new yorker story broke. democrats and republicans. what reporting do you have on that

roche, a close friend of debby ramirez, says he has no knowledge of the incident she describes, but thatbelligerent when he was very drunk. >> when he was at yale as an undergrad, he joined a fraternity. >> reporter: haley reported deeply on judge kavanaugh's time at yale. >> this is a fraternity that heavily, heavily drew from the athlete scene at yale. so brett kavanaugh is this guy who liked to play basketball, wrote for the daily news, was a big fan of the crowd. >> reporter: one picture appearing in the "yale daily news" during the years of dke members, but not kavanaugh, raising a flag made from female student undergarments, it indicates the sort of fraternal high jinks some say misogynistic activities carried out by members of dke during judge kavanaugh's time in the fraternity. >> it was sort of a lot of hi jinx and a did h de bauch re. >> reporter: many described dke as a hard-partying fraternity. most had positive memories of kavanaugh, but not all. one woman called him an aggressive, obnoxious drunk, saying his fraternity was misogynistic. one classmate who was in the same sec

speaking of debbie ramirez, president trump is dismissing the claim. she said judge kavanaugh exposed himself while they were students at yale university. kavanaugh denies the accusation. here's what the president said a few moments ago. >> i look at the second accuser and she has nothing. she doesn't even know -- she thinks maybe it could have been him and maybe not. she admits she was drunk. she admits time lapses. >> joining us now from capitol hill, senator, thanks for joining us and let me get your immediate action going after debra ramirez, the second accuser. >> it's good to talk with you. these are serious allegations. many of my colleagues and i are clear. we need to finish the background investigation. the fbi needs to reopen it and take a look at the allegations. put that information together and provide it to the senators so we can have a fair and open hearing and have all of this information before us. >> have you announced how you are going to vote on judge kavanaugh's confirmation? >> i have. like the previous confirmation, i take my adv

ford motor debbie ramirez are taking questions, you are never going to find out what really happenedor any corroboration. it makes it a lot easier to ignore these women and question judge brett kavanaugh. >> mthe white house and the republicans in the senate appear adamantly dug in of that suspect. if they will not budge on that issue specifically, how else would you want to perceive if the fbi investigation is not going to happen, what do you think should happen next here in terms of having your client treated fairly and having this allegation considered fairly. >> well, first of all, i think that would be a real failure on the senate jeb buudiciary commi. the only way that is actually not a partisan process is for the fbi to do the investigation. that would be a failure on the part of the senators if that's the route they decided. if they decided to do something like or not do something like that in just go forward, i would have to talk to the senate judiciary committee of the fact they refused to get on the phone with me and talk to me about what other options they may have in min

he came forward today for one reason only, to support debbie ramirez. he said he's trying to do the right thing. he said this is not his story. at uc berkley, waynerema"abc 7 law school professor who spearheaded the recall of judge aaron persky is launching a political action committee to target politicians who commit or ignore sexual misconduct. michele dauber is calling her pack the enough is enough voter project and will aim to block lower level politicians from ascending to higher office. dauber led the campaign that ended with voters ousting judge persky over his sentencing of brock turner for six months in jail for sexual assault. >>> we are getting word of a third woman accusing kavanaugh of sexual assault. attorney michael ah naughty who represents porn star stormed in her hush money case against president trump says he has a client who is accusing kavanaugh as well. ah naughty said she has had multiple security clearances from the u.s. government and witnesses will confirm her account. her name is expected to be released within the next two day

ford is saying and now what debbie ramirez is saying. over the last 12 to 14 hours, and that's significant. before that, you did a series of interviews where you said that what clarence thomas was accused of doing happened in the workplace as a professional in the years very soon before he was nominated to a supreme court seat and that what happens in high school should be treated differently. you did feel that way before last night? >> i absolutely -- and i still feel that we have to be very careful, we need to be -- we, as in those of us who support the me too movement, we need to be deliberate and judicious before we start applying labels, before we call someone a sexual predator, i want to make sure we are actually hitting the mark. and i was not convinced that a one-time encounter with a drunken 17-year-old fit that bill. yes, drunken 17-year-olds can make bad decisions but they can then move into become mature, productive, respectful citizens. but in this particular case, the difference was that with clarence thomas, we were talkin

you know, debbie is someone that i work with. i was her supervisor. a victim advocate and walked through the court system with women, went to the scene of domestic violence incidents, and unfortunately this was part of what we saw is people questioning their credibility. and i think that it sends the wrong message to victims that, you know, that they should just stay silent. and i think that's just the wrong message to be sending. >> judge kavanaugh, lisa, was asked about deborah ramirez's allegations last night. here's what he had to say about it. watch this. >> i never did any such thing. never did any such thing. the other people alleged to be there don't recall any such thing. if such a thing had happened, it would have been the talk of campus. the women i knew in college and the men i knew in college said its inconceivable that i could have done such a thing. and "the new york times" has reported that just last week, the person making the accusation was calling other classmates, saying she was not sure that i had done this. >> lisa, why do you be

. >> well, you know, he can say debby's drunk over and over again debby was drunk, debby was drunk, butthat does nothing to take down dr. ford's claim. dr. ford's claim sounds sophisticated. no reason to believe. pretty sound, documented -- not documented. pretty particular. they locked me in the room, they turned up the music so my screams wouldn't be heard. they threw me on the bed, jumped on top of me, rubbed himself, put his hand on my mouth, a lot of detail. >> yes. >> no exculpatory. i was drinking, i forgot. that story that she told senator feinstein and congresswoman eschew. >> and she also told her therapist, she told her husband. >> years ago. >> yes, taken a lie detector test. there is corroborating evidence. what do they do? the president tried to attack her the other day. that didn't go so well. you're right, now he goes for a different person, but what is he going to do about that woman sitting in front of the cameras on thursday who looks poised, who looks sane, who looks completely credible? how is he going to erase that? i don't know how he does that. i think she gets u

ford, debby ramirez or the allegations we've seen in the last 24 hours, there are as many questions, if not more, than there are answers. why wouldn't people want them answered? >> i think what everyone that the table would say is this could have been resolved potentially with mark judge. but they're so afraid to call him. the fact that they did not in a case like this, an issue like this, call someone who is in the room -- how often in a sexual assault case or an allegation do you have a witness? and even a per that's pant, a third person? it's so rare and so should not have done any kind of interrogation of him. even if it's not on camera. just some affidavit with committee staff. preferably with the fbi. is really malfeasance. >> if not for politics, for kavanaugh and his family's own name, i find it striking when brett kavanaugh and his wife ashley did the fox news interview the other night and his wife was directly asked would you want an fbi investigation to clear your husband's name, she looked at her husband, he took the question, and pivoted and didn't answer. >> this is so

ford and this allegation from debbie ramirez.ly into how this was already on track to potentially affect how women view the republican party. can you break down for us in your view of the potential consequences for the gop pushing forward with this confirmation in light of the new information? >> i think the question is sort of it remains to be seen obviously this pushes it into brand-new territory here but we seen a couple things happen already with the politics of this. already before there were any allegations before any of the sexual allegations emerged what you had was the most polarizing before allegations this was basically about the same number folks were for it as were against it and we saw last week came out a couple days ago after the first accusation that public opinion moved slightly against kavanaugh, was 34% supporting the nomination, 39% opposing it so obviously this immediately raises the question if you throw something else into the mix here is it going to take that opposition and raise it further? because i thi

we believe you, debbie were mayor is. we believe you, anita hill. we believe you, unnamed survivors, and we care. we care because every single survivor of sexual violence deserves someone, many someone's, to care, and at the very least, listen to them. but we also care because we can draw a straight line between the unchecked behavior of a 17-year-old young man and the misogynistic and compassionate hyper politicized believe of this berry grown man, who apparently still doesn't believe women have the right to bodily autonomy. we believe you, dr. ford, because we are you. survivors,vement of not just because of what we have come through, but because we are constantly trying to figure out how to survive. but what makes us a movement is that we are figuring it out together. they would love to make people believe that this is a movement that speaks out and targets individual bad actors, when in fact, our true goal is to dismantle the power structure that allows these bad actors to grow and faster -- to grow and .ester the supreme court of the united sta

that's debbie ramirez. around the time murkowski said that on tuesday, the president forcefully rejected ramirez's allegations. >> now a new charge comes up, it might not be him, there were gaps. she said she was totally inebriated. she was all messed up and doesn't know it was him, but it might have been him. oh, gee, let's not make him a supreme court judge because of that. >> one senior republican senate aide says those comments were not helpful. a source says republicans have tried incredibly lightly to keep moderate gop senators on board. the president wasn't exactly playing along later when he said democrats are playing a high-level con game. pray for brett kavanaugh and his family. >>> president trump returns to the u.n. for a series of meetings with world leaders. benjamin netanyahu of israel, shinzo abe of japan, and britain's theresa may. he will chair a security council meeting focused on iran. tuesday he addressed the u.n. for the second time as president. and after repeated claims that the worl
