garrett: yes. brian: in the history of journalism, were there many of you who made it out of the "washington times" and into big media? mr. garrett: others did. laura gelman worked at the washington -- she worked for the associated press. lorraine waller is a reporter in town washington. she was on the business desk. others did. peter baker and i are probably the two best known. peter baker was on the metro desk at the time. a sensational reporter. but there are others, and what did we share, we were very young, very aggressive, we were looking for a place to work in washington that would give us a place to do that work and move on if we could, and we all have. brian: nobody cares about this much today, but back in those days, as you know, everybody called it the "moonie paper." mr. garrett: yes, they did. brian: were you ever labeled that and did you -- when you were inside that paper, did the reverend sun yung moon have an impact on the content? mr. garrett: not at all. other than to finance it w

nbc's garrett haake is in the middle of it all in new bern, a city that's seen the worst of it, garrett. >> reporter: lester, this town is finally getting a break from that rain, after more than 24 hours of heavy rain coming down. but the dangerous flooding that we saw here today was actually the result of the storm surge coming you of out of the river behind me. it burst out of its banks overnight and invaded this town. an epic storm surge. more than 10 feet of water, overwhelming new bern. all day, rescues by boats and massive national guard vehicles. sergeant, what are you sen theing ie neighborhoods? >> just absolute, total destruction. >> reporter: first responders got hundreds of calls for help, racing into flooded neighborhoods at first light, searching door to door for anyone stuck inside. >> i've never been te terrified in my entire life, wondering what's going on, where the water is going to go, how high it's going to go, how we're going to get out. >> reporter: many families took shelter on second floors and higher, trying to survive. it was a long, wet, sleepless night for w

let's begin with garrett haake in hard-hit new bern, north carolina. garrett. >> reporter: kate, the neuse river is back in its banks, but there is so much flooding around this community. today we used a drone to get a look at some of the neighborhoods we haven't been able to get to on foot it. what we found a mile from the river was block after block of homes completely surrounded by water. some of it knee deep. some waist deep. all of it filthy and full of debris. as we flew that droen, you got a sense of the zal scale of this. now, back here on the riverfront we put the drone up again and had a chance to see the power of the enormous boats into houses on the riff front. kate, there has been some good news from the city of new bern today. they said they have completed 400 or so water rescues. everyone who called for help has gotten it. i spoke to the mayor tonight. he said the city has not seen a flooding event like this in 70 years or more. >> garrett, those pictures are unbelievable. thanks. and stay safe. some of the flooding we saw happened so qu

over to garrett haake, who's been listening to this and getting reaction himself in the hallway of, garrett, a certain member of our group here in new york just said this is the united states. i covered -- the united states senate, i covered for years. >> yes, uncharted territory across the board. listening to gram there, that sound bite could have come from any day this week. he's been judge kavanaugh's most vocal defender in the senate, making exactly this point over and over and over again. that if a person's career can end or life can end based on an accusation without proof, as he sees it, everybody's going down in the united states senate, and having been in the room for the last hour or so, graham has been visibly annoyed by these proceedings as they've gone on. we all heard him interject several times over last hour or so. even when the cameras weren't on him, he was fidgeting in his chair, looking armd the ro ing . he's made his feelings about this entire exercise abundantly clear. other colleagues are having a different reaction. i can tell you. that room, it's small, it's packed,

msnbc's garrett haake is live on the hill. garrett, i know you don't have a crystal ball but you certainly have an inside look. how's today going to unfold? >> stephanie, in about an hour, we will see a vote out of the judiciary committee here. it's unclear whether they'll discuss this in a committee hearing and then have a vote. as you laid out. we're looking at jeff flake as the swing vote on that committee. for a while it appeared yesterday, just sitting in the room watching the senator's reactions to what we are seeing, that maybe ben sasse, who's also on that committee, could be swayed. he was aghast watching dr. ford testi testify. now it seems flake is the only persuadable republican left on that committee. after committee votes, almost regardless of how they do this, they could report kavanaugh out favorably. they could report him out unfavorably. or they could report him out without a recommendation. mcconnell says he intends to start the process of moving towards a floor vote. basically you'd be looking at some proce

garrett, does anybody know where jeff flake is at the moment? garrett haake? all right. garrett may be getting information for us right now. so this is -- you're right, stephanie. five minutes beyond the vote and not having debates of senators of what's going on and there's leahy and graham and hatch and durbin who i see. >> remember, yesterday was extraordinarily emotionally charged and draining for everyone. you saw how upset graham was, flake was, dr. ford was. i mean, it was massive. and brett kavanaugh also performing for a party of one. lindsey graham got up, pushed hard defending brett kavanaugh and then kellyanne conway supporting graham. that's code for the president liking it. the president thought dr. ford did a very good job and he felt grim about that. and then he loved the fact that brett kavanaugh was punching down and punching hard. time has passed and every senator up there to do more than just perform for the president. they have to serve our country. we're 51% of our population are women. and if this senate committee decides we don't want more answers

you heard garrett lay out why he's coming on.residential power and the limits under the law, it's been a real question for kavanaugh from these democrats. >> right. i keep coming back during this hearing -- i'm not sure how much of this is democrats making a legitimate effort to shut down the nominee, and how much of it is a show for the base. making a point, basically. i think the documents debate yesterday provided that. cory booker relished that moment. >> self-referenced i am spartacus moment. to be in spartacus, don't call yourself spartacus, man. >> right, right. john dean is in that veain. this is an opportunity to spotlight presidential power. kavanaugh could be deciding subpoenas or other issues that has to dole wieal with this. this is an opportunity for them to put john dean in, a compelling witness, that can provide insights into where the mueller investigation stands and where it might go from here. >> there was the moment that was talked about on day two, i believe, between senator harris that happened overnight, ka

garrett, what is the situation where you are in new bern? >> reporter: ali, they are getting new rescue calls but i think not at the pace they were overnight. they got about 500 of those rescue calls and workers were out really at first light this morning in boats and trucks whenever they could to get people out of flooded neighborhoods. most of the flooding was due to the storm surge, which i'm pleased to tell you is not nearly as bad as it was earlier. you see some debris behind me. it was pushed up about 11:00 p.m. last night. when it got to the high tide today, it was not pushed up quite as far. you can see people are outside on bicycles despite the fact we're in the middle of a hurricane. ali, the storm surge has gone down but the wind and rain haven't stopped here. i'm living about 24 hours in your future. this started raining here about 3:00 yesterday afternoon and it really hasn't stopped since. we have had a little bit of a break in some of those bands, but the rain continues to come down here. 30,000 people in this town, 21,000 of

eric: garrett, thank you very much. arthel? arthel: thank you. for more now we'll bring in a former chief counsel to senator dianne feinstein. he also worked on the supreme court nominations of elena kagan and sonya sotomayor. is this a case of senator feinstein playing politics or protecting the personal rights of a woman who says she was sexually assaulted? >> well, it's clearly the latter. i worked with senator feinstein for ten years. she is not a woman who plays politics. she's a woman who has historically been very concerned with the rights and treatment of victims of crime. so she was condition -- she was confronted with a situation where these charges were brought to her, but at the same time dr. ford said please keep this confidential, please don't reveal my identity. senator feinstein chose to respect and honor that request. arthel: a couple hours ago dr. ford requesting to testify next thursday, this would hold up the scheduled -- the committee vote on monday. what do you think is the best way to proceed? >> well, i put together a lot

i want to start with major garrett. we should note you have a book out, "mr. trump's wild rides" a rollicking and insightful read. congratulations on that. >> thank you very much, jake. >> based on what you know of president trump, do you think rod rosenstein's job is in jeopardy, and separate question. do you think the russia probe is in jeopardy? >> i don't sense the russia probe is in jeopardy. i sense rod rosenstein wants a resolution of this, thought there would be one today. i write in the book about an episode involving the attorney general last year when he did resign, tried to resign. gave the letter to the president. and he didn't accept it. or he sort of held it in advance and the chief of staff intervened, then reince priebus, to dramatically stop that from happening. why? because jeff sessions wanted to resign on the day robert mueller was appointed special counsel. kind of a chaotic political environment that the chief of staff quite understandably wanted to avoid. we're sort of on that same vortex right now. one of the things i write in the book

reporter: major garrett, your book "mr. trump's wild ride."ou say this, this book is not trump's lies,t rancor, or flamboyance. why? major: because that is a fairly well covered aspect of the trump presidency. brian, i learned during the campaign that one of the biggest challenges come i mention this in the book about donald trump come as a political force, as a islity, american politics, every day there are 10-12 or more really interesting things. but there are also three or four really important things. as i worked every day covering this white house, and as i work for 60 months covering the campaign, the biggest challenge, what is it? important ande not relentlessly being distracted by the interesting. donald trump generates tremendous amount of interesting things. intentionally, sometimes. unintentionally other times p of the book is about what happened in the first year and a half on the trump presidency, that we are going to as a country be living with the looking back on 10, possibly 20 years from now. as if not turning points, differen

garrett, what's the latest? >> reporter: i'm glad we finally found the intersection point between my two beats on this story here, david. look, the latest here is actually pretty good news. there is no one in the city of new bern who is going to have to spend the night in a flooded home tonight who doesn't want to. the city says that over 400 calls for rescue have been answered. they have gotten everyone who was trapped in homes around this town out of those homes and into shelters. that's the good news. the bad news is there are still lots of neighborhoods in and around this town that are inundated with floodwaters. some of it had come from the river behind me, the neuse river, which is back in its banks tonight. but a lot has come from creeks and other sort of low-lying water that has risen up with the 30, maybe 40 inches of rain we've gotten here over the last couple days. it just has not stopped. we were in some of those neighborhoods earlier today. some houses surrounded by a foot of water, some places wate

it will be a long night here in new bern. >> you bet, garrett. a lot of people looking that the and wondering if they will be next. we want to go to the national correspondent miguel almaguer in oak island, north carolina. that's right in the path of where the storm is headed and if people haven't left, authorities say it is too late. it's time to shelter in place. let's get to miguel. what are you hearing and seeing on the ground there? >> reporter: lester, over the last few hours, the rain has have been coming down in sheets. it's fairly light right now but will get worse. the waes -- waves are crashing down. it's going to threaten the pier behind me. officials say we're not far from the expected bull's eye of the storm. officials say this could be just a preview of what is to come. tonight florence on the carolina coast. watch the water come in. >> reporter: with dangerous flooding underway, the storm surge is slamming on to shore. >> this is a powerful storm that can kill. today the threat becomes a reality. >> reporter: south carolina, virgi

joining us now garrett headache a -- garrett haik. lay this out for us. indica democrats are demanding an nsks. investigation. >> the fbi's background investigation of judge kavanaugh is closed. this letter was added to his file, which is kind of the way in which it became public knowledge after the fact. the fbi has done what it considers to be its due diligence. the senate doesn't really have any authority to ask the fbi to do anything. senators can go on tv and say they'd like to see the fbi do something, but it's an executive branch department. presumably the president or someone else in the justice department could put more pressure on the fbi to pursue this. senators cannot make this happen. it doesn't seem the fbi is inclined to do so at this point. >> two democrats on the judiciary committee are experienced federal prosecutors. kamala harris and amy klobuchar. i'm not sure that i think the senate judiciary committee is equipped to investigate sexual assault in the way that something that happened 36 years ago. you kind of need professionals on thi

jillian: that's for sure, thank you, garrett. the who done it continues, democrats and republicans alike are asking what did this op-ed actually accomplish? jillian: nebraska senator sasse say it is morality of the writer is in question. >> i don't understand the morality of the action frankly, i don't know if you would do, if you're worried that the president is paranoid, how can this do but drive up more par parnoia, the president has surrounded himself with very god people and doing good work and trying to persuade him to take longer-term vision, i think those people are doing good work by trying to help the president think further down the road, why would you write about it in the form, i don't get the morality of that. rob: list of officials who denied writing the op-ed keeps growing, we are now at 36. hurricane florence upgraded to category 2 storm, category 2 hurricane moments ago. people on the east coast filling sandbagses and prepare if for worse ahead of could be a fierce storm potentially striking later this week, vir

nbc's garrett is in new bern. ht >> reporter: row the river is in new bern, north carolina. it came across the front street and started toush further back into these neighborhoods. the good news is a lot of folks are boarding up homes and left. the man who lives in this home has been here 30 years. he's seen a lot of hurricanes. told us before he left town the only thing you can do when the wind speeds hit triple digits in your house is die. they are taking it seriously getting out of town. it will be a long night here in new bern. lester >> you get, garrett. a lot of people looking at that and wondering if they will be next. we want to go to the national correspondent miguel almaguer in oak island, north carolina in the path of where the storm is headed and if people haven't left, authorities say it is too late. it's time to shelter in place. let's get to miguel. what are you hearing and seeing on the ground there? >> reporter: leste over the last few hours, the rain has have been coming down in sheets. it's fairly light right now but will get worse. the waves are also smas
