well, i hope she does not do that, i hope that is not her mindset. that she has much room to make further concessions from the chequers plan. there are people who think that the chequers plan was a plan too far. with respect, that is the point. she will have to. otherwise, the whole thing will break down. we have heard from emmanuel macron, french president, we have heard from angela merkel, their message is quite simple, we in britain must understand, you cannot cherry pick the bits you like of the single market, we will not allow it, and if you insist that that is the basis of your plan, the plan will fall. well, we will have to see whether that is just tough talk, and it was tough talk, but is it more than that? or whether. .. you still think the eu 27, that of course are negotiating via michel barnier, they might be bluffing. do you think that? it is possible. this is the way in which many negotiations take place. i don't know, but we will see. but if the eu maintain the position that they set out in salzburg, then i don't think that the chequers

this is something i hope every senator pays attention to. i know people across the country saw repeatedly. that is the fact that kavanaugh clearly does not want an investigation. he does not want the facts, he doesn't want other witnesses to be brought in. he certainly doesn't want anyone with the other women to come forward who are willing to come in and testify under oath. he wants toqu brush through this as quickly as he can with as little information as possible. mr. president, is that how somebody ask ask who has nothing to hide? is this with someone who is innocent would do? i want to closeby by saying, i believe doctor ford but i want to say that aside to make one more point. maybe they sawe that doctor ford was credible and maybe they saw that kavanaugh was credible. i just don't know who or what to believe. message to those. yesterday's hearing does not have to be the final word. there is absolutely no rush. none. zero. we have opportunities to slowdown. let it go the way it is supposed to. they may have scrambled to rush but we do n

i hope jeff can get there. i would just stress again, this man has led an incredible life and everything they are saying about him is made up and it comes out of the left field. it's not corroborated. please don't take away everything he has done. he's number one in his class, ever since he's done anything. if we go to the floor of the senate, -- if you live in these trump states, good luck to you. >> if you look at the emotion of today, and all that happened, -- my best friend from third grade, his name is john gomez and he called me yesterday. he said hannity, you always say every 2-4 years, republicans are racist and sexist and my whole list as he calls late. i think i understand a little more now because when you say these horrible things, and now we have gotten used to it, we expect it, it's like my father was killed all over again. elect republicans and black churches will burn our or cross will burn. republicans don't want to count african-americans in the census, al gore said. this has to stop, senator.

i hope so but it is important to remember thejewish community, large sections of it take an entirelyrent view on some aspects and i know the media sometimes focus on some of the mainstream jewish organisations and forget there are many other people in thejewish forget there are many other people in the jewish community forget there are many other people in thejewish community who do not necessarily subscribe to those views. it's important we hear everyone's views and concerns and ta ke everyone's views and concerns and take into account all points of view. but yes i hope we can move on now, the labour party has a proud tradition of standing up against racism ever since we were founded. we have stood shoulder to shoulder with the jewish we have stood shoulder to shoulder with thejewish community against the fascist and anti—semites and fascists in the national front. the fascist and anti—semites and fascists in the nationalfront. and we actually confronted the national front on the street, myself and jeremy corbyn. for me the concern is the rise in the far right in this country and ac

i hope you like it. >>host: a couple more calls carolina go-ahead 40 to my for youu like your my understanding is that cherokee biggest attraction to betray them with the trail of tears do you have a response to that? >> think that happened i'm not an expert so a lot of people feel they are betrayed but ultimately expunging them from the area. but yesterday than to that people come illegally we are attracting people so we stop on expansion. the issue why not? i am not so that was in oklahoma for example people to carry around the 2080 went the jackof presidency for them to be located to all. please go ahead last chance. how did the war of 1812 and up ending? >> so god knows your out from the battle of your to say we didn't have satellite television but those to be represented in this conference so with the battle of new orleans the word comes back about the treaty as a national celebration but jackson didn't buy it he thought if they were going to come back again or she would never have shot because ever

no clint had a gun i had no gun i hope put him in the trunk and you have no gun. and what were your options oh i'm not going to win now that i think back on it i could win i love it easily that's what i think i want my god i just seen this guy kills one person and he could easily say ok i gotta go take care of these people who are just dismissed all the cops are after us. i was thinking of it. in the meantime does this victim is moaning in the trunk. so didn't you feel like i need to help this guy more what am i going to do to save him by myself other than contact the authorities. she didn't do that either. so i looked at it was already. bored after sitting in the car thinking i could i can call my own one or i can just inform someone mostly guess what i had says something actually i do say some of the hospital i salute and we could just drop my boss out the most room and take off this somebody else person he should've just haven't heard out of the cameras on the hospital. it is so tight next out there. and. they took him up there sort of creek. and only put him ou

and i hope that the senator will reconsider his decision. because no senator deserves to sit on this committee, or serve in the senate in my view if they decide to be a law unto themselves. and willingly flout the rules of the senate and the determination of confidentiality and classification. that is irresponsible and conduct unbecoming a senator. >> just some of today's confirmation hearing and other activities happening at the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. the hearing in a recess now for lunch and senators will also be participating in two votes on the senate floor. so the break may be extended. and the hearing continues tomorrow. at 9:30 a.m. eastern time. lawmakers will be hearing them from outside legal experts, including john dean. who was white house counsel during watergate. if you missed any of today's session we'll be showing it again in its entirety tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span 2. directly threatens all of the equality and freedom not just for the hispanic community, but quite frankly for all americans. his pas

president, the most striking thing was this and this is something i hope every senator pays close attention to. i know it's what people across the country so vividly and repeatedly. the fact that judge kavanaugh so clearly does not want an investigation. he does not want the facts to cumo and other witnesses to be brought in who could corroborate his story and help clear his name. he doesn't want anyone to hear from the two women who have come forward with their experiences regarding him and who are willing to come testify under oath. he wants to rush through this as quickly as he can with as little information. mr. president, is that how someone acts if they truly have nothing to hide? is this how someone behaves if they want to clear their good name? is this what someone truly innocent of everything he's been accused of would do? i close by setting aside what i thought of the hearing. i believe doctor ford and thought she was telling the truth. but i want to stop that aside. maybe some of my colleagues watch that i didn't see it the same way. maybe they thought doctor ford was credible an

and goes on to say i hope to be able to put this up as one of my crowning achievements that i was ableis truly a cancer in our country. they used carter page as a foil in order to surveil a candidate for the presidency of the united states. all of that in quotes. but, former cia director and trump critic john brennan says leaders of the intelligence community have an obligation to block the president's order. watch it. >> i think christopher wray, director of fbi and dan coats director of national intelligence as well as rod rosenstein overseeing this investigation should push back against any directive that is going to have negative impact on our capabilities if mr. trump and the white house does not relent, i think they have some decisions to make, whether or not they are going to just not follow that direction and be fired or to resign. >> harris: tough part of my job is first do i go to kennedy who is nodding or charlie who is taking notes? kennedy? >> kennedy: i think if john brennan wants to completely obliterate the idea that there is a deep state, he needs to stop talking.

i hope you never get it. i hope the american people can see through this sham.t you knew about it and you held it. you had no intention of protecting dr. ford, none. she is as much of a victim as you are. god, i hate to say it because these have been my friends. when it comes to this, you're looking for a fair process? you came to the wrong town at the wrong time, my friend. do you consider this is a job interview? >> the advise and consent role is job interview. >> do you consider you have been through a job interview? >> i've been through a process of advice and consent under the constitution. >> would you say you have been through hell? >> i've been through hell and then some. >> this is not a job interview. >> yeah. >> this is hell. >> -- >> this is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap. your high school yearbook. you have interacted with professional woman all your life. not one accusation. you're supposed to be bill cosby, when you are a junior and senior in high school and all of sudden you got over it. been my u
