she was eleanor roosevelt when eleanor was away. not a formal role but she was an advisor to him. >> i've never been above a shameless plug and you took the last great book title in no ordinary time. i know they are the words of eleanor roosevelt but we must use that around here once a week. there's no other way to describe this other than no ordinary time. >> people come to me tell me are we going to be okay. and i told a woman don't worry it was worse in the 1850s and described the countries suseeding and the states and she said but that didn't turn out well. so i went back to the turn of the century and teddy roosevelt came along and was able to take all that anxiety and fear and channel it into rational action. we need that leadership right now. >> what do we do about the destruction of instugzs that there's no question we're seeing and hearing? the federal judiciary and the media. it's odd that his sister is a federal judge and. >> for 14 years we came to know him throh this building and media. >> democracy depends absolutely o

that was the wisdom of the universal declaration of human rights that eleanor roosevelt pushed forward and it remains true today. i heard judge gorsuch testify the other day that no man is above the law. and that's an important tenet for our democracy. but unfortunately, we know from sad experience fairly recent that that's not enough. when the bush administration authorized torture and other abuse against detainees, torture was already a federal crime. and the problem was that the administration, and in particular many of its lawyers, had a different view of the law. so it's not enough to say that no man is above the law. according to the legal memos that were prepared at that time by bush administration lawyers, they believed that the law against torture allowed torture. this is sort of an alice in wonderland situation that we were in. and that's why i find that e-mail that senator feinstein pointed to, from mr. gorsuch while he was at the justice department, one of the most troubling things about his record. he was basically arguing there that the bush administration ought to interp

when franklin roosevelt was there because eleanor was gone a lot, his daughter, anna was gone.ike how a private company is done. she is sitting next to angela merkel. >> i would give her a pass and whatever helps him become a better president. i do question the national security clearance. >> her husband has national security clearance. she now has national security clearance without delineated responsibilities aside from her interest in working women. so she can be in on meetings that other people in the white house cannot be in on. she is privy to conversations with her father that others are not. i would be wary of this and ivanka's power. >> all of these people say to have the advisers without a portfolio who are able to go into meetings and leave and get into the president's ear and they are all competing in different ways. why is it the security clearance that for you raises a red flag? >> because it comes with a capacity to read anything that comes in. that's access to the national's highest securities. i don't know why she would be at the table with the head of the join
