>> that was eric williams. >> reporter: eric williams? who was eric williams?ney with an office right across the street from the courthouse. in 2010, he was elected by the people of kaufman to be justice of the peace. shannon hebert worked with him said he had a sharp legal mind. in fact, he was a member of mensa, the organization for people with super-high iqs. >> he was a great judge. i liked having him in there. he would understand the law. i thought he was very fair. >> i mean, everyone respected him >> reporter: williams, married for 15 years with no kids of his own, was a strong advocate for children and specialized in child abuse cases. lt. jolie stewart often worked with him on those cases. >> how do you think he was perceived amongst his fellow colleagues, other attorneys? >> i think that he had a lot of respect with his peers. he was kind of the go-to guy for family law. >> i know he had a love for children. >> reporter: tera williams-bellemare knows that better than anyone. she's eric's sister. >> he was a good uncle to my kids. never missed their bi

you know a disturbing study to talk about that is our science correspondent eric williams right here the big table with me so which of the dangers that were just mentioned there which of those pose the most immediate danger to children still and i think of the 4 dangers that were really mentioned in the report which is food supply air pollution then the question of infection a spreading infection and the question excuse me and then the question of of other environmental damage i think that infection is the one that is that going to be actually the most pressing issue because as we see as temperatures rise it raises the range for us for serious trotting diseases that up until now remain in the tropics it allows them to migrate into more moderate and more temperate zones and for example we see the expand in the expansion of of the range for miskito as which can act as vectors for diseases like malaria or or dengue fever or west nile virus and at the moment for example in southern europe we're only seeing a couple 100 cases of that every year but if temperatures rise dramatically then t

one of the things that i would add to that is eric williams' 1944 classic "capitalism in slavery" is a fantastic book reissued in 1994. it is still in print. there's a reason it's still in print because historians have been talking about the relationships among slavery, white supremacy, and capitalism for a very long time. and you can get into these little debates about little tiny things that just don't matter, right? it seems to me that the connections there are so apparent and so obvious that trying to deny it is utterly useless. nevertheless i also join in saying i don't know what happens next. i can tell you about 500 years ago, but the future is hard for me. >> i'll also say that i want to be very respectful of that question, and at the same time i think that the work that's represented by many of the scholars who are actually trying to historicize that question rather than just sort of allowing it to be a kind of timeless relationship, that the work of historicizes sort of speaks to the very complexity of power but also the very complexity of the antithesis of power, right? an

eric: attorney general william barr is weighing in on the case of jeffrey epstein.oking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering seven things every medicare supplement should have. it's yours free just for calling the number on your screen. and when you call, a knowledgeable licensed agent-producer can answer any questions you have, and help you choose the plan that's right for you. the call is free, and there's no obligation. you see, medicare covers only about 80 percent of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. that's why so many people purchase medicare supplement insurance plans, like those offered by humana. they're designed to help you save money and pay some of the costs medicare doesn't. depending on the medicare supplement plan you select, you could have no deductibles or co-payments for doctor visits, hospital stays, emergency care and more

again, law enforcement sources that have talked to nbc news, myself, pete williams, eric leonard at knbc, have said that the gunman is dead. as far as a motive, at this point still trying to sort out the crime scene. trying to security search warrants or get the search warrants so they can get more information and background on this student. he's 15 or 16 years old, and is a student at saugus high school. at this point, still unfolding. still trying to chase strands of this investigation. >> do we know how law was able to -- law enforcement was able to locate theis young man? >> as with everything, initial reports from the scene where people see somebody -- according to the early tweets, it was a male asian dressed in black clothing. there were reports that after the shooting from a nearby elementary school that at a home -- there's other reports that he was found at the school location. that's another piece of the puzzle that will hopefully be put together in the next hour or so when the sheriff and others address the media. >> andy, hold on for a second. we want to bring in connecticut

eric: i'm arthel neville. last week the house intelligence committee heard testimony from former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie yovanovitch acting ambassador to ukraine, william taylor, and deputy assistant secretary of state george kent. >> there is now ample evidence out there, you know, that there was a corrupt deal being cooked up, the three witnesses you saw in public this week of course were important because they could give context to what has occurred. >> none of them were on the july 25th call in question. none of them have first-hand information of that call. none of them are aware of any criminal activity or impeachable offense. i think the impression of the american people is what is this about, and why are we here? arthel: we have live fox news team coverage with kevin cork standing by the white house. but we begin with mark meredith in our washington bureau. mark? >> good afternoon, arthel. on tuesday lawmakers will kick off the second week of the public hearings for the inquiry. eight people are scheduled to testify between now and thursday, and the hearings come after the committee released transcripts of additional testimony over the weekend.

eric remembered as. the the call transcript is as published on september 25th is complete and accurate will both of you attest that miss williams i didn't take a word for word course accounting when i 1st saw the the publicly released version it looks substantively correct to me internal than i think i certainly would describe it as substantively correct i think in your testimony your deposition he said very accurate correct ok and you flagged a couple edits are current of him and i think you had barisan a on page. on page 4 where the president's lensky was was talking about the company mentioned in the issue i'm sorry could you say that question in your testimony you explained that you offered an edit that on page 4 of the transcript that was ultimately published you you thought president selenski mention the word barisan oh i had in my notes i know that's what he said ok and miss williams and i was on page 4 correct correct miss williams i believe after your deposition you went back and checked your notes and you had president selenski using the term or is meant as well is that correct that's correct. but that came up on a di

eric holder and an msnbc contributor. matt, not surprising, it's one of those trump stories where it is both shocking and not surprising of course, of course. he asked williamript of the phone call with the president of ukraine came out and have him simply absolve donald trump of any wrongdoing. >> that's exactly wright, lawrence, it is a completely inappropriate thing for a president to ask an attorney general to do. but you could see why trump would do it and actually follow through and grant that request given that this is basically what barr did around the release of the mueller report, where he held a press conference despite the underlying evidence of the report finding no such things. he talked to the president about that report, obliterating the line that's supposed to exist between the department and white house, and you can understand why the president would think, well, look, this is just the kind of favor bill barr regularly does for me, so i'm going to ask and i expect that he'll do it. and i think the fact he said no, that bill barr has been so willing to kind of sacrifice his own reputation for trump in the past, that he wouldn't do it here s

eric holder. he did some really hard investigations. democrats are not seeing the same thing done when it comes to what they see as the politicization of the justice department under williamarr. >> gregg: despite what democrats want, inspector general michael horowitz has been focused on very real misconduct. the trump campaign associate was spied on by our own federal government with a pfize fisa wat with the help of christopher steele. on verified largely phony dossier. of course, christopher steele wasn't feeding his so called intel to the fbi. he was also prodigiously leaking it to the press and according to a new report, christopher steele allegedly handed his anti-trump propaganda to the media as political revenge. he was angry that hillary clinton's email investigation had been reopened and made public. a few days ago, president trump said the findings of the upcoming report would be historic. those are his words. in just a few short days we will know exactly why. joining us now is the former trump campaign associate targeted by the fisa warrant, carter page along with fox news contributor sara carter. good to see you both. carter, those named in the ig report get

eric holder. he did some really hard investigations. democrats are not seeing him do the same thing when it comes to what they see as the pollicization of the justice department of william the senate and house have asked inspector general horowitz to do a number of investigations including whether jeff sessions violated his recusal into the russia investigation and how william barr handled the mueller report. horowitz has taken a pass, in part because robert mueller was investigating. the ig has a different role. the ig looks at whether people have followed the rules. democrats have also said he spent a lot of his time investigating obama appointees like james comey and andrew mccabe and things that happened in the 2016 election. he's not looking hard at things that a.g. william war is doing right now. >> ken dellinian in washington. thank you. the push to get women in office. republicans only elected one new female member of congress in 2018. >> i think it kind of lit the fire in people's bellies. >> you guys got shellacked. >> we elected only one new republican woman. >> so what lessons have they learned? chris jansing will show us a bold new strategy to elect more wo

williams told investigators president trump's insistence on pushing political investigations during that 25th of july phone call seemed unusual and inappropriate. this is from a pence person. for more i'm joined by eric swalwell of california, a member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, it's great to have you on again on this eve of this week. >> thanks, chris. >> after all this sort of dodging and weaving by the republican members of committee arguing you don't have firsthand evidence, this week is all firsthand evidence. i've counted at least five people testifying this week who were on the phone listening to the president talk about this swap of dirt for u.s. military aid. >> chris, so far the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukraines to help him cheat an election. the complaint that i've heard from the republicans all last week is that you don't have anyone who heard the call and you don't have anyone who talked directly to the president. this week, tomorrow, starting with tomorrow, we have three witnesses who actually heard the call. one witness thought it was inappropriate, another moved that call into a top-secret server because he t
