administration introduced stricter banking -- banking regulations known as dr. frank. -- dr. frank. president trump has been a critic. critics say erasing restrictions on banks could prompt the next financial crisis. let's go now to the heart of darkness read all began in new york area. you talked to former lehman employees. how do they remember those bad days? >> after listening to some of the former staff members, it seems to me that some people on the lower levels of the hierarchy were not aware of how bad the situation was even days before the bank collapsed. one of them told me that 2008 had been a good year for him. for a long time afterwards, people were so coming in to work although they cannot do anything area they were being told not to trade anything and many employees decided to let before everything really went downhill. surely a bank is because that doesn't vanish. is anything left? >> there were two separate bankruptcies. the first is lehman's holding company. the second was what remained of the broker-dealers. 10 years later, both the holding company and the broker-d

frank. i believe dr. ford. i may be wrong, but i believed her. and i believe kavanaugh dodged and dissembled, ranted and raved, filibustered and prevarica prevaricated. i did not find him credible. i don't believe boof is flaj lns, i don't believe a devil's triangle is a drinking game, and i don't believe calling yourself a girl's alumnius is being her friend. and i think drinking until you ralph or fall out of the bus or don't remember the game or need to piece together your memory the next day is more consistent with dr. ford's and others' testimony than his own. if dr. ford's testimony is true, i hope we can all agree kavanaugh has no business on the court. and i, for one, believed her. but set aside my own belief. as a prosecutor, i am horrified at what the committee has done. terminating the fbi background investigation before these new allegations were even considered. doing partisan interviews bipartisan stafferers, declaredly determined to force the nominee through. letting kavanaugh's alleged accomplice in the assault, the guy in the roo

frank. i believe dr. ford. i may be wrong, but i believed her, and i believe kavanaugh dodged and disemabled, ranted and raved, filibustered. i did not find him credible. i don't believe boof is flatulen flatulence, i don't believe the devil's triangle is a drinking game, and i don't believe calling yourself a girls alumnus is being her friend, and i think drinking until you ralph or fall out of the bus or don't remember the game or need to piece together your memory the next day is more consistent with dr. ford's and other's testimony than his own. if dr. ford's testimony is true, i hope we can all agree kavanaugh has no business on the court, and i for one believed her. but set aside my own belief, as a prosecutor, i am horrified at what the committee has done. terminating the fbi background investigation before these new allegations were even considered. doing partisan interviews bipartisan staffers declaredly determined to force the nominee through. letting kavanaugh's alleged accomplice in the assault, the

dr. ford is even on the list to be interviewed. >> cheryl, reflect on what frank said there. and what are your sources telling you in terms of who is in the discussion about who will be contacted? who will be on the list or not? >> so what our reporting shows is that senator mitch mcconnell, the republican leader gave don mcgann the white house counsel a list of four people to be interviewed. those four people are deborah ramirez who had accused judge kavanaugh of exposing had him is environmental to her when they were freshmen at yale, mark judge who is the good friend of judge kavanaugh who christine blasey ford says was in the room when she was assaulted. p.j. smith, another friend of judge kavanaugh and leeland kaiser, a friend of christine blasey ford who christine says was at the party. so that's what we know. the fbi presumably is working today to interview those people. i think there are very big questions about what will happen if those people raise names or incidents that ought to be further explored. how much will the fbi have -- how much leeway will the fbi have i

dr. ford, she is a sympathetic credible witness coming off as frank, honest and sincere. 51-year-old mother of two speaking out because of civic duty. and people watching it, she didn't oversell herself, she admitted to gaps in memory. here's the thing, fred, facts did not add up. the female friend that she said was with her said she wasn't there. four five people dr. ford said were there citing them by name, cannot recall the party. and dr. ford, fred, still cannot recall the home where the assault allegedly took place, how she got there, got home. no witnesses to say she told them about the alleged assault at the time, until she spoke about it at therapy session years later. >> my reaction is she was a very sympathetic witness, but she didn't bring with her someone who could corroborate her story of being nearly raped, but at least assaulted. nor did she bring in any evidence that would change where the case was before she testified. so that still exists. and, look, the ball -- i don't mean to laugh, but the ball is in democratic courts now because they're going to -- look, their strategy

frank somerville. >> i'm julie haener. senators want to hear from dr.ord but there is uncertainty about whether she will agree. we get more now from heather holmes. >> reporter: there are -- that she should testify before the senate judiciary committee. her lawyer reportedly sent a letter to the ranking committee members, saying dr. ford is worried about security. this comes as president trump and senate republicans rally to defend judge kavanaugh. >> hopefully, the woman will come forward, state her case. he will state his case. >> reporter: the white house, standing behind its choice to fill the empty supreme court seat, despite a sexual assault allegation being levied against judge brett kavanaugh. >> judge kavanaugh is ready to speak today. he wants to be able to clear his name. >> reporter: kavanaugh was said to be a lock as the next supreme court justice. you may not have to wait for that approval after a woman came forward, accusing him of sexually assaulting her when the two were teenagers. democrats and republicans on capitol hill set a hearing

was more frank about alcohol than he was on fox news, admitting, i drank beer with my friends usually on weekends, sometimes i had too many. but i never did anything remotely resembling what dr. ford describes. >> there's plenty of reason for people to think that this is a smear campaign. >> but doesn't that imply that the women are lying? >> it doesn't, it doesn't hold them in high esteem, put it that way. >> reporter: ford's attorneys have released her extensive written testimony. she is expected to say tomorrow, i believed kavanagh was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. when i did, brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. this was what terrified me the most. and has had the most lasting impact on my life. so you just walk around telling people geico could help them save money on car insurance? yea,that and homeowners, renters, motorcycle and boat insurance. huh.that's nice. what happens when you catch a fish? gecko: whoa. geico. more than just car insurance. see how much you could save at geico.com. i'm ok! stop fearing your alarm clock... with new*! zzzquil pure zzzs. a drug-free blend of botanicals with melatonin ...that supports your natural

dr. and father-in-law. evidently he was even now hedging his death. along with frank and her mother, the commodore siblings and children and various spouses constituted the first row around the bed. behind them were the grandchildren. as well as some of the great-grandchildren. so many people in all that there was not room for everyone to sit. several of the younger men stood in the back. the audience members will over warm and overtired as was unavoidable under circumstances over fragrant. might we open a window? one of the old antis in the row ahead of her turnaround.and risk giving me consumption? >> she gave alba a severe look. what can you be thinking? isn't your time here upon you? >> indeed she had six or eight weeks remaining in her pregnancy. all the more reason she would like to be made comfortable so the rest of the stay would not revolt and upstage the commodores final act by arriving on the spot. until recently, she had know little about childbirth. a woman somehow conceived through the act. she knew that but precisely how the baby was expelled as a myste

dr. henriques: you have to be a little careful as to what you say. to washington, frankt will always mark every step of my conduct towards you. he responds favorably. he likes that kind of frankness. jefferson has a very different approach in dealing with people. with his appointment as secretary of the treasurer, hamilton becomes the second most important man in the united states of america. critics believe he became the most important man in america because there is a view that still permeates that, basically, president washington was under hamilton's control. no hump -- no matter how often it said, matter how meant -- how commonly it is written, it is not right. misinterpretation of washington. ron is on target when he says hamilton gained in comparable power under washington because of thesident approved agenda he promoted with such tireless brilliance. jefferson was wrong when he charged that hamilton manipulated the president. washington is nobody's puppet. he can be soft-spoken, gentle if it is his province, he will not let anyone do it. as he influenced by hamilt

say may have information about the matter and also, frank, with the fbi who are trained investigators and interrogators to ask questions again of drr penalty of perjury. >> as you know, judge kavanaugh's high school friend mark judge is a key figure in two out of the three accusations against kavanaugh. he is willing to cooperate, he says, with the fbi. what would you want to ask him? >> i mean i think you would want to ask him a lot of different things. i know it is very easy for people like mark judge and others to say, i don't remember anything. but, you know, a funny thing happens when you are sitting face-to-face with a couple of fbi agents who are smart enough not to simply ask you so specifically, did you witness this particular thing happening in this particular bedroom at this particular party, you start by asking lots of general questions. i don't know if it will be the case that some of the things that the fbi agents will be asking about are those things in that surreal moment when you are senators on the democratic side asking about the meaning of various phrases in the yearbook. remember, the other thing coming on her

frank thorpe who's followed many of these. what can you tell us? >> what we're doing now is waiting to hear back from dr.ord's attorneys here, going through this counteroffer from the chairman of the judiciary committee chuck grassley trying to figure out whether or not this is a tenable solution for them, whether or not dr. ford can appear at this wednesday hearing. this was a hearing that she only wanted -- she wanted to do at thursday, at the earliest. and they want to push it back 24 hours. as you were mentioning, the ranking member of the committee dianne feinstein calls this bullying, says that what's another 24 hours for a justice that could be on the court for another 40 years? but you have a situation where dr. ford made a number of conditions that she wanted to be met and chuck grassley returned with -- and he met a couple of those conditions. but also came back, as you said, and said that he couldn't -- that some of those conditions were actually unreasonable. and one of those conditions is actually one that wasn't mentioned was the idea that dr. ford wanted to go second. she wanted to testify
