jeffrey: there are four key points.irst thing, i think the most important part is do they change the language describing on monetary policy? if they were to, that would be a big point. second is economic forecast. the longer run forecast for the employment rate. there is a change that is important. the third point will be how to characterize growth. i think we will get much of what we saw in his jackson hole speech. fourth, which probably moves the market, the dots plot. we have another year. i think we look at consolidation around 2018 and 2019. the longer run dot, the addition of the new members potentially brings down some of those figures. that could be a dovish outcome for the market. krishna: i think jeff is right. there is potential to look at the long-term dots and come to a dovish conclusion if you're inclined that way to begin with. if you think the fed is data dependent, there has not been any softness for them to give us any comfort on the dovish front. we think they will eventually do that and things will t

jeffrey represented himself in court.front of the judge, and the sherlocks say he went on the attack. >> jeff is attacking kathy with all these accusations. it wasn't procedure. >> what was the judge's attitude in your view? >> he was just like, i'll let it. oh, that's okay. >> reporter: they say jeffrey lashed out at kathy outside of court too, calling the police on her over and over again. he even, they say, grew violent towards his own mother in front of kayden. what did she tell you about what she physically witnessed? >> that daddy was pushing mia mom, she called her, on the bed, and pretending to go like this, and grandmother was crying. >> reporter: for the first time alison admitted kayden admitted to being afraid of her dad. >> we asked her, did you think daddy was going to hurt you? she said yes. >> reporter: a little over a year into the custody battle, kayden's desperate mom filed a restraining order. but her lawyer never filed a long-term one for kayden. >> i tried everything. the police are like, well, he's

jeffrey: there are four key points.irst things in terms of statement, the most important part is, do they change the language describing the stance of monetary policy? don't expect it, but if they were to, that would be a big point. secondary, economic forecast. the longer run forecast for the employment rate. there is a change their that is important. the third point will be how does powell characterize growth? i think we will get much of what we saw in his jackson hole speech. the fourth, and probably will move the markets the most, is the dots plot. we have two new dots, we have another year. i think we look at consolidation around 2018 and 2019. the longer run dot, 2021, there's more uncertainty. the addition of the new members potentially brings down some of those figures. that could be a dovish outcome for the market. jonathan: krishna? krishna: i think jeff is right. there is potential to look at the long-term dots and come to a dovish conclusion if you're that way inclined to begin with. having said that, i thin

>> she identified a guy by the name of jeffrey wilson. >> jeffrey wilson? turns out david actually met him first online. jeffrey was also in the army, based at ft. bragg, like the major. he went by the name "black stuntman." by now, deputy da billy west was monitoring the investigation. >> they were chat friends, chatting about the swinging lifestyle and that sort of thing. and david actually said, you need to meet my wife joan, and invited him to a swinging party. >> they all got together at a local hotel, just social that first time, no sex. >> there was a second swingers' party that both of the shannons and jeffrey attended. and at that party, he i think as well as others did have sex with joan. but after this happened, joan and jeffrey started seeing one another. >> that was okay, though, according to the rules the shannons had established, as long as it was just sex and nobody got romantically entangled. anyway, wilson was married with kids. there was no indication that his wife knew what he was up to on the side with joan. >> we started doing some one

hold on, jeffrey. how can you say that so definitively when we had one of his clerks on who says that he follows precedent and there's not a suggestion that it will certainly be overturned. >> the only people who don't think roe v. wade -- who are not saying roe v. wade will be overturned those who dedicated their lives to overturning roe v. wade. they suddenly discovered, wow, this is a great big mystery. donald trump outsourced the selection -- remember he has this big list of people, 20 people, 15 people, it's very -- to the federalist society. the federalist society is built on the idea of overturning roe v. wade, of declaring affirmative action unconstitutional, of saying that religious people can keep gay people out of their bakeries, out of their hotels, out of their restaurants. this is a platform of issues that that is what matters to them. that's why brett kavanaugh was picked. of course he's going to say i'm keeping an open mind. susan collins is free to delude herself into thinking that bre

jeffrey maybe you can answer that because both the you and the u.n. didn't send observers judy's election simply because they were they were saying that they were not going to be fair and free and they didn't want to be seen as indorsing resident yemeni now dad has been a lot in the days and the weeks leading to the vote there has been as i said earlier a lot of controversy and the opposition has been muzzled up firstly the opposition hasn't been muzzled if you look at the demonstrations the very the very vibrant media that we have in the maldives you can see that they're very active they've been campaigning across the nation and even internationally when it comes to the u.n. and to the e.u. you have you actually don't have either of them saying that it is not going to be a free and fair election in the maltese they're not saying that at all when it comes to the u.n. the only way that elections are over is can we dispatch them all these is through security council resolution and fortunately that didn't happen the maldives has invited. everyone to come

jeffrey what do you make of that comment there are several. the number really is not countable but there are people who are in exile where certain heard from some of them what you make about the numbers not because a lot of the time or so oh there's no charges against a lot of people there's no reason why they. can't and i would like to these people have been wrong and right. they've had threats instances that the threat of jail not by the government. armament that you are a part of one of the biggest problem i had last ten years has been that we have seen the very worst that our nation has to offer and finally the political discourse and that's laced with absolute bigotry. that will allow gangs and criminals to rule the country and we are in gangs and going to littles not to rule the country there's no shortage certainly certainly isn't gary more than another. you don't need to do not be little the threat that these people have received i'm not belittling the threat that they. live there under self-imposed exile because this is what they. kno

jeffrey what do you make of that comment there are several the number really is not countable but there are people who are in x. i know we're not heard from some of them what do you make about. the number is not countable because a lot of the time these are self-imposed there's no charges against a lot of these people there's no reason why they cast all. i would like to there's people have been going to shrunk and right they've had death threats instances that the threat of jail not by the government by hostile ireland armament that you are a part of one of the biggest problem i had last ten years has been that we have seen the very worst that our nation has to look for the blog just course of that's laced with absolute and bigotry a law that will allow gangs and criminals to rule the country and we opt. not to rule the country there's no doubt it is certainly certainly doesn't carry more than another. we do not be little the threat that these people have received i'm not belittling the threat that they are a new best friend lived up there under oath exactly because this is. no good i w

ok so when you heard the question from even we got an answer from jeffrey i want to bring in our. own looking for i want to under this new president president elect so here are two comments from people of what they want the government to focus on this is side impact who writes and we're hoping that it will mean a return of our fundamental rights as granted in the constitution the fear of being arbitrarily detained would not be the norm that he will work on cleaning up the judiciary and law enforcement were sorely in need of a system overhaul so that one person's opinion another person writes and this is what they are looking forward to in the next administration health care affordable accessible improving our living conditions livable wages we can't afford to keep destroying our environment and he wants honesty and transparency even how doable are these lists of things in this next generation in your perspective i think. i think over the last five years what was lacking over the last seven years in. political will and the commitment to not go up and to not. need instead the last s

this is within the control of the senate, jeffrey, and you know that. this is -- >> right. >> this is an article 1 issue. this is not an article 2 issue. the power of the legislative branch to confirm a nominee. they go through the process. it's their process. they make the decision. >> right. but it's the president's nominee. not only is it his call to call on the fbi, but if you don't think that he called chuck grassley and said, listen, let me tell you how i want this to go. this is my guy. excuse me? >> i disagree with you on the calling in the fbi, that it's incumbent on the white house to do that. >> why? >> in this instance, again, it's with the senate. >> but the senate can't do it. >> they can ask the white house to do that. >> right. they can ask the white house to do it. >> that has not happened to do that. they have not asked the white house to do that to date. >> i know. >> the senate investigates people and incidents every day. the senate has lawyers that handle these matters every day. >> come on. the judiciary committee -- let me talk fo

one keeps getting calls from the con man jeffrey cohen more appeals for him to pay money to free his share is one plays along with him my job there was a keep them on the hook. as i've been doing to me for the last three years i just want to turn the tiles keep them in a conversation i tell them i'm always going to give them the cash to formalize these deals. oh. gosh when are you. it's so hard talking to people that you know this ripped you off and you got to talk almost all just to keep them on the whole it's just so hard knowing that they're on the other so one. of the world wallace manila sin they're laughing at you. the fraudster jeffrey cohen is becoming disputes and aggressive to extract a final payment from his victim. is giving him the runaround. you're going to want. to say oh you're going to do it you're fired within seventy two hours. or were the people being scope with a small amongst bigger moans. but they have no mercy have any syndicates do you think would be one of the one time. i would say this about sixty groups in the police. have a need to vigils. hundreds or. i

jeffrey your eyebrows are up. is it the white house position that debbie ramirez should testify before the senate on thursday? >> i have the same reaction, that is a new position and it's certainly not the position as far as i'm aware of charles grassley, the chairman of the judiciary committee and the republicans who run that committee. everything they have done is to try to keep that hearing as narrow as possible to his word against her word. if this had been a legitimate real investigation, there would be other witnesses. debbie ramirez would be one, mark judge would be an obvious person to call as a witness, you know, the guy who was allegedly part of the assault on ms. ford. i mean, this is -- that's how you do a real investigation is you try to get corroboration or the lack thereof for multiple stories. i have seen no interest on the part of the republicans who run that committee in calling ms. ramirez, but that would be an appropriate way to deal with it, i certainly agree. >> it's also very possible that t

and that all makes sense and for every buyer there's a seller eccentric but the reason i ask and jeffrey to you you know in the both in the futures world you know that i used to regulate and in the equities world when you have big large huge trade you don't really market moving trades and they require that you do those at certain times and they even used to do that the o.t.c. space just so they don't push markets around so regardless of where these you know hundred lots in a sub wall at a big point came from you know does it and i know you don't like regulation in general jeffrey but does it make some sense in order to try and tamp down the volatility that we have with kryptos. are you going to do that is twenty four seven in crypto land i was is that going to be any change in that as the global assets are not traded on an international exchange i think i would just be a completely hopeless undertaking listen you've got you've got nick on here. this guy full of wisdom he's been there he's done that he's seen this what it is say twenty thirty times i have to year over year on the calendar

joining us on the phone is jeffrey toobin.we don't know whether paul manafort will cooperate with federal investigators. usually that's the case, isn't it? >> cooperation usually is the case. frankly, given manafort's lack of leverage at this point, i think prosecutors would almost insist on it. he has been convicted once. he is looking at likely being convicted again. both in the retrial in virginia and in the other trial in the district of columbia. he is looking at a disasterous scenario plus the legal fees and stress involved in going to trial again. the prosecutors are there. they are ready to try this case. they'll try it. it's not going to cost them anything extra. to give him any sort of deal, they're going to have to get something in return. the only thing he could really offer at this point is cooperation. whether he's had a proffer session with them meaning telling them what he would say if he did cooperate. that's something we don't know but it's very important question. it would be some -- cooperation deal at this

jeffrey maybe you can answer that because both the you and the u.n. didn't send observers judy's election simply because they were they were saying that they were not going to be fair and free and they didn't want to be seen as indorsing president a yemeni now dad has been a lot in the days and weeks leading to the vote there has been as i said earlier a lot of controversy and the opposition has been muzzled up firstly the opposition hasn't been muzzled if you look at the demonstrations the very the very vibrant media that we have in the maldives you can see that they're very active they've been campaigning across the nation and even internationally when it comes to the u.n. and to the e.u. you have you actually don't have either of them saying that it is not going to be a free and fair election in the maltese they're not saying that at all when it comes to the u.n. the only way that elections are over is can we dispatched them all these is through security council resolution and fortunately that didn't happen the maldives has invited. everyone to com

a sub wall a big point came from you know does it and i know you don't like regulation in general jeffrey but does it make some sense in order to try and tamp down the volatility that we have with kryptos. going to do that as twenty four seven in crypto where i was is that going to be any change in that of the global assets and not change it on an international exchange i think i would just be a completely hopeless undertaking listen you've got you've got nick on here. this guy full of wisdom has been there has done that his thing in this what it is say twenty thirty times i have two year over year on the calendar year we're still doing just fine actually people who got in and december right now are wondering where they think. that's that's that's where it isn't critical labby and i look at all these reports these days about. those dead bloodbath you know but you know i mean crypto has been the been declared you know hundreds of times you know i'm just thinking we're coming up to the tenth anniversary of the two thousand and eight financial crash and it was at that point that the white pa

. >> let's continue the discussion, cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin joins us. also cnn political analyst david gergen and kirsten powers. what do you make of this knowledge judge kavanaugh has been questioned about five accusations? again, nothing's been proven. he's denied it all. i'm wondering what your reaction is. >> i would really discount the two anonymous allegations. i just think it is really unfair to judge kavanaugh to expect him to respond to a, you know, the rhode island and colorado cases. i mean, they are so vague. they are not -- there is no accusers. i think they are in a completely different category from the three named identified and identifiable women who have all volunteered to testify under oath about what judge kavanaugh did. that is extremely serious. the other two i just don't think in fairness to him he should even have to respond to. >> kirsten, do you agree to hat? obviously, as i said, i want to reiterate, kavanaugh has denied both of these newly made accusations, or revealed accusations, i should say, as he has the others. do you t

thank you, jeffrey for that. meanwhile, david, when i think about what happened, what christine blasey says happened to her when she was 15 years old in a bedroom, it is chilling. and similarly, when i think about if this is a lie or a faulty memory, what has happened to brett kavanaugh's family, it is chilling. they both address that here in their prepared statement. here is christine blasey ford's. brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. he had a hard time because he was drunk and i was wearing a one piece bathing suit. i believed he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. when i did, he put his hand over my mouth to prevent me from screaming. there is some details we haven't heard before. here is what brett kavanaugh's written testimony says: i will not be intimidated from withdrawing from this process. the vile threat of violence against my family will not drive me out. i am here this morning to tell the truth. the truth is i have never sexually assaulted anyone. not in high school, not in c

but i agree with what jeffrey said before.don't know if it changes the long-term calculus very much. firing him before the election i think would be seen by most voters as an effort -- what it would be -- to decap tate the mueller investigation. i think most republicans on capitol hill would be reluctant to do that. if it is after the election, the president has made clear he intends to fire jeff sessions with lindsey graham sending him the key signal and take control of the situation. having the discussion of the 25th amendment cannot be helpful to republicans who have chosen not to have oversight on the president. >> abby, is it a matter of time before the president fires rod rosenstein? >> it seems that way. the president has wanted to fire rosenstein for a while and this story reinforces suchy narratives for the president, who has been paranoid about this stuff from the very beginning. first, the idea there are senior people in his administration trying to undermine him. second, the talk of the 25th amendment is radioactiv

jeffrey toobin, thanks.on't miss "full circle," our daily analysis on facebook, you can see it week noo knig nights, 6:25 p.m. on facebook. let's hand it over to chris right now. >>> i am chris cuomo, welcome to prime-time. should i stay or should i go? no joe strummer, but the clash between rosenstein and trump is in full effect. the deputy ag's fate has been in question all day. first, we heard he resigned. then he had summoned to the white house, then he met with john kelly, and then they decided to decide later. and what day did they pick of all days? so on that loaded day, we may learn the fate of judge kavanaugh and the russia probe. think of that.

let's bring in jeffrey toobin, joans by cubic and david gergen. david gergen, not only is this so consequential, as all supreme court nominations are. this is the president's second pick in as many years, this is 62 days ahead of the midterms in a hyperpartisan environment. how much of today will be about getting to the nuts and bolts and getting into the mind of judge brett kavanaugh and how much will be about grandstanding? >> i think this is such an epic conflict both sides will play to the public. the republicans will present this folksy appealing figure and talking about his family the night he was announced was appealing, that rollout was well done but the democrats will say look below the surface. what you don't see is a neutral umpire. he talks in his opening statement about wanting to be an impartial umpire and the opinions he's given tell the democrats he's anything but. he's a hard line conservative. he already has pre-set views and this is a contradiction that is a tension in the hearings. i think these will be tense because everybody

jeffrey toobin joins us now.r bar scene setting dynamism of this article, there's this nugget of news. let me read this quote for you. giuliani pointed out a little known aspect of the agreement that trump's legal team struck with mueller, the white house reserved the right to the public disclosure of information that might be covered by executive privilege. a deal? i'm not sure we knew too much about that. >> no, didn't. >> in the original deal, we will let you see 1.4 million documents, we will let you interview white house staffers, we reserve the right down the line to object to any public disclosure of material we think is covered by executive privilege. you, robert mueller, and your staff can hear the whole story, but we're not agreeing to everybody hearing that story. okay. fast forward ahead. mueller is going to write some kind of report. giuliani says, well, we may object to anything in that report that is covered by what we believe is executive privilege. rod rosenstein will get that report. rod rosenst

welcome back i'm still here with one of the world's greatest human rights lawyers jeffrey roberts and jeffrey i want to get on to julian assange and wiki leaks in a bit of course you've been a big defender of his but you wrote recently about the jeremy thought case the political leader here was done for ordering an assassination hugh grant was lately in a film about there's some legacy there. is a young barrister in the seventy's and the public have just come to appreciate this extraordinary story of the head of the liberal party ordering the death of one of his loved ones by an incompetent who killed the dog. we threw me was and he escaped but i thought it was try it was there at the trial and the one legacy when a juror actually spoke and said how they wanted to convict but through the incompetence of the prosecution and the bias of the judge was all in favor of the establishment judge give. something up they felt they couldn't and the new statesman published this and it was prosecuted i defended it but we were interviewing a jury but then made a law against it so jurors know secrec

let me bring in jeffrey toobin.nt to get to what we learned and didn't learn yesterday because of the dancing and dodging we see from all of these contenders of the court. it was a long day yesterday. at the end of the night last night, senator kamala harris of california grilled judge kavanaugh on whether he discussed bob mueller's russia probe, the special counsel's russia probe with a lawyer from a law firm that for a long time represented the president and that's castwood, benson and torrez. let's listen to this exchange. >> with all that you remember, you've been speaking about all sorts of things you remember, how can you not remember whether or not you had a conversation about robert mueller or his investigation with anyone at that law firm. this investigation has only been going on for so long, sir, please answer the question. >> i'm just trying to think v think do i know anyone that works at that firm. >> that's not my question. my question is have you had a conversation with anyone at that firm about the i

you mean a witness. >> a witness is what they call it, jeffrey. so he is the person that she says was in the room. we know a little bit about -- i mean, this is the only picture we can find of him on the internet, which is strange, number one, but number two, his writings from that time make him a highly unreliable narrator because he has written an entire book about what an alcoholic he was and how he was a blacked out drunk. >> i believe there's two drunks. >> one of them is called "wasted: tales of a genx drunk." he also wrote this, certain women should be struck rel lateral like gongs quoting noel coward. >> i think this deals with the issue that dana raised which is what's the format here. if you want to learn the facts about a confrontation between two people and you are a serious investigator you don't just ask those two people, you try to get corroboration or incrimination by other witnesses. will there be other witnesses? what about the soon to be famous mr. judge? he obviously would be someone -- and i don't know which way his testimony

we're joined by jeffrey tubin, josh dosse. jeffrey, if i can begin with you. clearly republicans, as manu was noting on the committee, do not want a dynamic where you have several white men questioning a woman who is claiming sexual assault. but you have a prosecutor taking that role. do you expect to see a prosecutorial like cross-examination here, tough questions not just for ford but also for brett kavanaugh here, to press them in a way that you might not see otherwise in a civic confirmation hearing? >> no. i expect that this lawyer will press ms. ford and not press brett kavanaugh. she works for the republicans. that's her job. it is her job to get brett kavanaugh confirmed. i don't think we should be in any doubt about that. and i do think it could mean potential peril for ms. ford because remember there are questions you could ask her in a respectful but firm way that could make her look pretty bad. you know, where did this take place. who else was present. what time of day? how many people were there? all of which she has said she is not entirely clear

. >> jeffrey toobin. >> i think we are an emperor's new clothes territory here. look at every account of the trump administration is the same. except in some detail. >> not -- not all of the accounts, certainly not the ones that are flattering from the sean spicers of the world. talking about michael wolfe, omarosa. >> every journalist that covers the white house. donald trump is uninformed, uncurious, irrational frequently, narcissistic and racist. all of that is -- and the question is -- >> homephobic and other stuff. >> also homephobic. so, you know, this is what the american people voted for. i don't think a lot of people who voted for him are shocked by this. i mean, you know, i mean, just -- >> it does seem like the daily turn. this is where i'm annoyed with this. annoyed at "the new york times" did this. to write an op-ed like this, that has a stature, resign and put your name on it because this is just gossip. this is gossip to me. >> jeff. you come out here. you state your peace. you say your mind. i respect that. right? someone to write a blind op-ed th

jeffrey tu jeffrey toobin, i will turn to you first.ident was uncharacteristically toned town when he made comments earlier today, but one thing that stood out to me was he said he felt sorry for brett kavanaugh. he could not use the name christine blasey ford. again, it seemed a situation where the president stands with the accused and not the accuser. it just seems to be a pattern. >> it is a pattern starting with himself, who is a multiple-accused abuser of women. you know, he said he felt sorry for brett kavanaugh here, having to deal with the accusation. of course, no sympathy for the alleged victim. but, you know, the fact remains that if she doesn't show up on monday, this confirmation is going through. even though the republicans have set up a structure that is very much rigged to help brett kavanaugh with no other witnesses, in other investigation, it is really a take-it-or-leave-it proposition for her. we will see if she takes it. >> rebecca berg, jeffrey does make a good point. because if you are christine blasey ford and wha

cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. carrie severino, at the judicial crisis network which is supporting judge kavanaugh. kirsten, clearly judge kavanaugh is categorically denying all the allegations. does it help him or hurt him going into thursday, do you think, to have done this interview? >> well, i think it will help him with the people that they were targeting which is the base. and so that's why they chose fox news. they knew it would be an easy interview and it would be a sympathetic interviewer which it was. i actually don't think he did that great of a job, if you're just an objective observer. repeating over and over that you want a fair process but not really answering the questions, i don't think necessarily bolsters him, but for the audience that they wanted to reach, i think it will have its intended effect which is to portray him as somebody who's being persecuted and it will rally the troops around him. that's what's really has kept the republicans on track is this fear of the base not turning out in the

we have jeffrey tubin back now.ey, the president showing some restraint, even reveling in the reviews of the restraint he showed. >> let's keep in mind that this woman was -- this woman. this girl was 15 years old at the time of this alleged incident. so what he's saying is this 15-year-old girl should have made this report. i mean, the fact that he is assuming that that is what any normal person would have done shows a complete lack of understanding about how these events are experienced by young women. the fact that there is a tremendous amount of shame, uncertainty, fear about reporting incidents like this, especially by someone as young as 15, you know, this just shows that they are going to go after her and attack her and attack her behavior and her motives and her behavior in the same way they went after anita hill, that this is getting closer and closer to what happened in 1991. >> we have abbie phillip at the white house as well. a marked change in tact from the president, a remarkable one here. what happene

out and you know democracy is the least worst option and in this case it seems to work but you know jeffrey talked about the strength of the institutions there i don't think despite the fact that we pulled off an election that those things will be credible that the institutions are strong and that's going to be the big challenge of them all these places from here first off the television strong which is a pretty crude parties and there's a lot of challenges you know those institutions are pretty weak now. so to people even have mentioned the challenges ahead and not being an easy task people are panelists of course this is well and jeffrey both are forecasting that there is a hard road ahead what do you make of that in terms of what the opposition has as a hurdle. i think without a doubt the task ahead to be difficult as we said band of different political parties is very different backgrounds. but i think our candidate i think the brand was probably is well placed to keep the coalition together he's sold it's man he's a dependable man was built a reputation around being around listening to

jeffrey toobin, the polling cnn did for kavanaugh wasn't good anyways. he had 38% of americans overall irrespective of party. 31% of women believed that kavanaugh should be confirmed. >> remember, too, that the issues that came up in his confirmation hearing, chiefly among them roe v. wade, and the claim that he will be a vote against roe v. wade by democrats, he did not take a position one way or another. the idea that the government can allow states to ban abortion is not one that's popular and that's one that democrats tried to associate him with very significantly. the idea that the democrats would pay a heavy price for opposing him, giving polling numbers like this, seems incorrec incorrect. >> makes you worpd if that gives them more wiggle room. >> makes it hard to imagine that this makes kavanaugh more likely to be confirmed. he may well be confirmed but this certainly doesn't help. >> you know, you live and breathe this stuff, as does jeffrey. >> yes. and i remember so well when anita hill then did come forward with her testimony in a very steady

nicki minaj helped jeffrey owens out and jeffrey donated the money and said i am extremely grateful tonic to nicki minaj. >> meghan markle is adding a new twist to all the pregnancy speculation. >> the duchess exited her limo wearing a sleek, black, long sleeved dress with her signature stilettos. tonight's look was form fitting with a belt around her middle. the outfit is a departure from the flowy top she wore yesterday. so how is meghan handling all the rumors of possibly being pregnant? >> i was there this evening. there was no sight of a baby bump. at one point she gave a wave to the cameras very confident and happy with life. >> harry did not accompany his wife at the opening of "oceania" an exhibition of art from australia, new zealand, the pacific islands. they are the same countries meghan will visit with harry next month. >> it's an opportunity for them to show themselves as team sussex. we know the focus is going to be on youth leadership, environmental issues and the invictus games. >> i love that. team sussex. >> it's a good one. >> it's fantastic. >>> coming up -- angrildash

jeffrey goldberg, thank you.at's the opening line of "hard ball" going to be tonight? >> mika has to know. >> it's early in the day. that is resolved and decided around 5:30 or 6:00 in the evening. lots more news. we live on "the new york times" and the "washington post." we're news driven and, you know, i think we always hope a story breaks around 5:30 or 6:00, the hottest story breaks the latest, we love that, then we go on the air at 7:00 and we break the news. so i can't give it to you now because i can't tell what it's going to be tonight. it will have to do with trump process. >> it's a process. >> it's all connected, joe. i was certain the night when the big omarosa broke that he would go omarosa, let's play hard ball. >> or les moonves. >> less is more. all right. still ahead on "morning joe," before brett kavanaugh was a supreme court nominee he spent more than three years working for ken starr, the independent counsel who investigated bill clinton. ken starr joins us with his new book on that era straig
