i told the story, where was i?i was on something or maybe a speech and it's a gross story but the last time i was on coming out of a [inaudible] with my mom six years ago the escalator was broken and you know why it was broken? yeah, you know why. anyway, it was human caused. [laughter] it was full of stuff. human stuff. that is the problem. it's sad that a beautiful city is becoming a latrine. is that too strong a word? [applause] the problem is it's a fear of -- concern is now being construed as passing judgment. you can be concerned about somebody's mental health and that's not passing judgment and i talk about that institutionalization my the deinstitutionalization has been a problem for new york and united states and i'm not passing judgment but expressing concern for people on the street with serious problems but the express concern about that were somehow passing judgment on people and you're an awful person which that's been a big barrier. >> beginning of lawful people in your book you suggest that maybe th

i was. skinny little introvert. i had a speech impediment and tried to talk but a lot of people didn't understand me and my body told me i belong with the boy but my thoughts not mine with me and that i belong with the girls. and i didn't know which way to go i wanted to be like my sisters i thought i should be like my fifth to earth and my older sisters started wearing makeup. and it was some of her makeup in the bathroom. and then in the sixth grade when i was. on the formerly teen and we had a new diving. he would do when he had a chance he would play with me he would fond o. me and. trying to get me to have interaction and just continue to play with me. a map he should cheer into a room. for just a moment. come on criminal and get you into a room back here you're going to keep moving around come on a quiet bad dog bad hold one moment i will. silence the da. da da da da da they do lay down. go lay down first off my name is. i'm an author i've written eight books so far three of them to do with transsexuality i was

i was the strongest internally i had been in my entire adult life, and i was getting out of prison at 50. i dealt with my trauma related to incest and domestic violence. i addressed my substance abuse issues, and i had gained a real sense of self-worth, but instead of feeling confident and grateful, i felt scared and hopeless about getting out of prison. i would like to tell you that my fears were unwarranted but i can't, and unfortunately, my experience returning home is not unusual. my passion is empowerment and helping others coming out of jails and prisons and creating a more inclusive system for people coming out of jail and prison like me. i want to become a member of the reentry council to further assist in making systemic changes in order to better support justice involved individuals reentering our communities. san francisco is far and ahead many cities, but there's still a lot of work to do. i hope to help and lead initiatives for more reentry navigation, and once i'm off paper, i want to go into the jails and prisons and work on actually what i heard when i first landed in

i was asked to do so, and i did. work itself was interesting, and at the time it appeared that the sexual overtures which had so troubled me had ended. i also faced the realistic fact that i had no alternative job. while i might have gone back to private practice, perhaps in my old firm or at another, i was dedicated to civil rights work, and my first choice was to be in that field. moreover, at that time, the department of education itself was a dubious venture. president reagan was seeking to abolish the entire department. for my first months at the eeoc where i continued to be an assistant to judge thomas, there were no sexual conversations or overtures. however, during the fall and winter of 1982, these began again. the comments were random and ranged from pressing me about why i didn't go out with him to remarks about my personal appearance. i remember his saying that some day i would have to tell him the real reason that i wouldn't go out with him. he began to show displeasure in his tone and voice and his demea

i knew i was in trouble. i looked at the space next to me in the bed. she was there. boxers and it ran out of the bedroom. i saw the shower... "will you be among?

would reveal whatever it was going to reveal. i didn't expect it to be as long as it was going to be, so it's a little bit stressful. >> have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who's looking to take a polygraph test? >> never. >> did you pay for the polygraph yourself? >> i don't think so. >> you know who did pay for it? >> not yet, no. >> you have a handwritten statement that you rode out. did anyone assist you in writing that statement? >> no. you can tell how anxious i was by this terrible handwriting. >> did you -- we touched on it earlier. did you know that the committee has requested not only the charts from the polygraph test, but also any audio or video recording of the polygraph test? >> no. >> rio audio and video recorded when you are taking that test? >> okay, so i remember being hooked up to a machine, it being placed onto my body had been asked a lot of questions and crying aloud. that's my primary memory of that test. i know he took laborious detail in explaining what he was going to be doing, but i was just fo

>> i was meeting with attorneys, i was interviewing various attorneys and the attorneys asked if i was willing to take it and i said absolutely. that said, it was almost as anxiety provoking as an airplane flight. >> and you've talked about your recollections and seeing mark judge at that safeway, if there had been an appropriate reopening of this background check and fbi interviews, would that help you find the time period if you knew when he worked at that safeway? >> i think i would find it helpful if i could be provided that date through the irs or anything. >> i assume that's true, but under federal law, but statements made to medical professionals are considered to be more reliable, there's a federal rule of evidence about this. you told your counselor about this back in 2012, is that right? >> my therapist? >> uh-huh. >> my individual therapist, correct. >> and i understand that your husband was also present when you spoke about this incident in front of a counselor and he recalls you using judge kavanagh's name, is that right? >> yes, i just have to slow down a minute, because

i don't think that it did. is it was important symbolically but mass incarceration, school-to-prison pipeline, these things have not diminished. in many ways they've increased. >> do you see trump as a reaction to obama? and if so, why? >> i see trump as a reaction to obama because trump gave permission to the resentment that was roiling under the surface. >> resentment of what? >> of black advancement. of black uppityness. to use the jim crow analogy, you will step off the curb when i come down it. you will not look me in the eye. his racism is explicit and undeniable and this that wasn't a deterrent, i think white supreme to look hard at. why was that not a deterrent to you. >> robin diangelo, thank you for talking to us. >> you're welcome. >> an uncomfortable message but an important one. >>> next week marks the start of the u.n. general assembly here in new york when world leaders descend on this city. i will be talking to some of them from iran's president hassan rouhani digging into whether the iran nuclear deal wi

what she was looking like. but i wanted to have a sense of what laurel was feeling internally. >> host: describe laurel? >> guest: physically or always? i'd picture has a kid that is lost. but had not always been that way, she was very grounded before she left mississippi. she was with mom, grandma, very connected to her grandmother. her dad was very connected to the land.nd and she was a great big sister to her little brother. and then her world literally got washed away. with it, the grounding. so with that comment beneath the meth moon her looking back in this place of finally no longer being addicted. it is still her longing. so with the washing away comes this longing to kind of have an ordinary life again. and trying to find that.she becomes ta cheerleader, she ge a boyfriend. she gets a best friend and she tries to be this teenager. and then it turns out her boyfriend is using meth and gets her addicted. it's kind of turned her life around. and of course, the heroes tjourney so with that comes the character mo

i, on my own, new i was going to w i wasollege -- kne going to college and i did, but it was not with support from my family. so i am kind of unique that way. but not too different than most women in the 1950's, i think. we grew up to be wives and mothers. kathleen: and how did you first become interested in politics? ms. woolsey: well, i have always been an activist of sorts. if i am interested in something, i get involved in it and i always have, for some reason. and i was elected in the ninth grade to be the vice president of my junior high school girls' club, but to me that was not politics. i was just interested in what was happening with the big school, so -- yeah. and over the years, if i am part of something, i am a really good team player, but when the team starts falling apart or the leadership is not going right or eventually, i become the leader. earlyen: did you have an mentor, someone who might have inspired you to pursue a political career? ms. woolsey: no. i didn't. was -- well, i was well into my 40's when i ran for city council, and then one of the city council membe

[laughter] >> would you fix your tie, please? david: well, people wouldn't recognize me if my tie was fixed, but ok. just leave it this way. alright. ♪ david: i don't consider myself a journalist. and nobody else would consider myself a journalist. i began to take on the life of being an interviewer even though i have a day job of running a private equity firm. how do you define leadership? what is it that makes somebody tick? your stock is up 70% this year. is there one thing you think is responsible for that? 70% is pretty good.

i was born in peru and i came to this country when i was ten years old my mother was american. my father is peruvian and every time i went back to peru after that it was you are not really peruvian. you are an american and not really one of us anymore. do you have this experience?nc >> i grew up with that. i grew up with a sense of shame both ways. shame i was chinese and a school that was primarily white and the shame when i went to among family friends who were chinese at a restaurant or any situation run chinese people that i cannot speak chinese and i knew nothing about china. i had trepidation because people would say you know nothing and you got it all wrong and even my mother had said when we first went to china that this is how naÏve i was. they said when we go what if they think i'm one of them and they won't let me come back. she just said, you know, they look at you and the way you talk and walk and they know you don't belong. later i would see claims and people claimed i was so chinese in my chinese did improve because i had half-sisters who speak nothing but chinese

i think her demeanor was very fake. i think it was very practiced as a victim. i think someone that has had a dissertation and in before a panel and a wife and a mother is assertive and aggressive and not passive and scared by the child. i think the american public has to look at it in that content a scaredhe is not little housewife hiding behind the kitchen, but she is a very accomplished, dynamic woman. she did not come across as that today. host: you don't believe her testimony? caller: i think it was not genuine. i think it was practiced. i'm a psychologist. or doesshe practices so shend of meditation can pass the lie detector test. i'm also concerned because i was thinking about her motives for doing such a thing. putting her family, her life and her country on the line, that perhaps she was being blackmailed. if you need ane investigation from the fbi, it would be want to protect her from outside forces that might be trying to destroy her and her family. host: let's go to the democrats line. belize in new york city. caller: hello. i agree with the first cal

no, i was just joking about that. not a lot because i spent a lot of time being of my brother when he was little. how are you? it's a pleasure to meet you. now, with my brother i figured out at a certain point when we were growing into our teenage years, he stayed little only so long and he was going to be bigger than me at some point that's when i went to him and said we've got to stop fighting . we're too big to fight anymore. we have to argue and we have to show how our minds can be each other. to this day he still regrets. he was waiting to beat me up today and i stopped thegame . it is hard, isn't it? because there are so many cultural influences. even when kids are small, about what toys they should like. the boy toys versus the girl toys, all of those things. but i think feminism rightly defined is respect for women. [applause] and that requires your insistence. it requires making sure that when women talk or men talk, your child learns how not to interrupt. it means teaching him that listening to people's ideas

i was blown away, i got to tell you. i really was. s. . . not that type of person, but i was... yeah. yeah. you never crossed someone's path for nothing. was... yeah. yeah. you never crossed someone's path for nothinglj believe someone's path for nothing.” believe that. i believe that too. did you regularly enter the lottery? no, never. that day something... i had that feeling i have to buy a ticket because i was already helping people a little bit, but i was working, i had my kids. isaid ifi win this means it's going to be for me likea win this means it's going to be for me like a salary. honestly i was not surprised to win. in my mind i was thinking, i have to do it, i was sure about that. so i was just do it, i was sure about that. so i wasjust coming to do it, i was sure about that. so i was just coming to confirm, you win, you were right. rachel grew up in a poor neighbourhood of montreal, but she was soon to leave that behind. what's all this? some of these mementos, these incredible photographs you've got, presumably all to do w

i don't know. it was from behind so i don't want to put that solely on him. >> okay. >> miss mitchell, i don't know whether this is fair to interrupt, i want to keep people within five minutes. is that a major problem for you in the middle of a question? because i don't -- we have to -- i've got to treat everybody the same. >> i understand that. >> can i go to senator feinstein or -- >> yes, sir. >> i didn't see the light was red. please do. >> senator feinstein -- >> i gwinnedidn't get to -- >> we're going to come back to that. >> i see. okay. >> when she comes back -- she'll come back and ask you -- >> for the benefit of dr. ford, i think she'll continue that after the five minutes here. >> okay. >> mr. chairman, i would like to begin by putting some letters in the record. >> without objection, so ordered. >> thank you. >> if you want to tell me -- >> 140 letters from friends and neighbors of the witness and a thousand female physicians across the country. those are what the letters are. i want to thank

i mean, she was something. you know, when i launched my line, it was a hit right away. s and that. and i held back. i said, "no, let me concentrate on the apparel." - max factor did not want you to go to kmart. - no, they did not. no, they said, "it's not your customer. please don't. we don't want you to." so, we're gonna take a pause right now because i want to understand this. you are a get-along kind of person, and here you got max factor that, you know, they know exactly what they're doing, they are rooted in their business, and you come along with no business experience. they say, "don't go to kmart," and you say, "i'm doing it." yeah, you know, you're good, because that's an interesting thing you talk about. but what we did, again, is i talked them into cross-merchandising. so, "look, let's put my fragrance in kmart and we give a little sample of my fragrance when they purchase something, and it's gonna up the sales of my fragrance." and it worked. you are an incredibly elegant person. do you wear kmart clothes? yes, i do. mm-hmm, i do. - you invested-- - oh, i hav
