let's go to the white house for, and cnn white house correspondent kaitlyn collins.

and kaitlyn did hit the ground running like an milk gold medalist. she built our constituent services operation from the ground up. i'm proud to say that today, 11 years later, it is an operation that is second to none and one that thattoringians across our state know they can rely on for help. it is oregonians who know that if they are in a bind, the team that they can call is my constituent services team and often that's kaitlyn specifically. in the beginning days, we were in the middle of the mortgage crisis. that crisis was forcing oregon families out of their homes, so they couldn't afford the balloon payments or the doubling of the interest rate at the expiration of a teaser rate. they couldn't pay the high rate on the triple option loan, and they were desperate, and they called kaitlyn. kaitlyn was the point person on our team fighting to keep roofs over their heads. she was the one who day after day had to consult with them in that very stressful situation where often a mortgage company was simultaneously telling a family that they will be ev

but they were all struggling to figure out why would you -- as kaitlyn said, why would you do this now? you've got so many things on your plate, and i'm sure that that message got communicated back to the white house. >> why would you do it anyway, because it raises optics, even if you're doing it at no profit. get over it. it raises the optics of conflict of interest and trying to benefit from your office and all of that, plus why do this this when republicans are furious about syria, and many of them very unhappy with what they're hearing from the house testimony about ukraine testimony and rudy giuliani and trying to be loyal republicans and bite their tongues. he keeps poking them. >> it's very difficult to find republicans saying very positive things about this, unless you're talking about the two florida senators. but generally speaking, when it comes to impeachment they're talking just about process and not about substance, because to undercut the process seems to be their best defense. when it comes to syria, you've got everybody up to the senate majority leader saying absolute

agenda item number four, which is a report the deputy director, kaitlyn azevedo. >> good evening. before i get into the report, i have highlighted a couple of areas i will discuss. i wanted to make mention we have seen an increase in complaints especially in the north beach area. folks, obviously performing on the street, and an inspector in the district has been responding and we have been moving that along to sfpd and reallocating those. just make mention of it. on page three i will mention arena s.f. we did get complaints, to complaints about them over a weekend and inspector did respond and he did find them out of compliance. he worked to bring the volume down, and then into compliance. we did issue a notice of violation for them being in excess of their salmonella. page 5 -- their sound limit. page 5, i've have located jackson, they place of entertainment they have three sound complaints, excuse me to sound complaints this past weekend and the inspector, upon responding to the complaint they found their front door open so they were given a verbal warning for the front door be

let's go to the white house for, and cnn white house correspondent kaitlyn collins. facing pressure and also scrutiny as this probe intensifies. >> reporter: essentially what he's arguing, brianna, is the rush to sit down with these officials but one former official doesn't seem to think it's happening too soon. kurt v lochlt ker, former special envoy to ukraine after he resigned last week after getting caught up in this scandal has agreed to sit down thursday for his deposition. the question will be how much he will say and whether or not the state department will try to limit it. >> and it's a disgrace. >> reporter: tonight secretary of state mike pompeo is following president trump's lead, accusing democrats with questions about ukraine of trying to intimidate and bully state department officials into giving rushed depositions. the secretary of state writing in a letter, i will not tolerate such tactics. the three democratic chairs fired back quickly, saying pompeo should immediately cease intimidating department witnesses in order to protect himself and the presi

kaitlyn, thank you so much. evan is back with me. we are joined by michael gerhart. susan glasser, as well. michael, how -- do -- do these two arrests today of rudy giuliani associates, does it complicate the impeachment picture that is happening on capitol hill? >> i don't think it does yet. we may -- i think we'll need more information about who knew what about what they were doing, who was involved with it, who might have sanctioned it, who supported it. so we've got to do fact-finding. this is actually a perfect illustration of why in an inquiry held by the house more fact-finding is needed and the house can undertake further investigation that will include determining the extent to which giuliani was connected with these people or these people were connected in some way with the president. there's no evidence, as all of you have said, thus far indicating any connection between them and the president, but it's within the house's jurisdiction, so to speak. it's power to look into any possible connection. >> susan, this puts the spotlight squarely back on rudy giul

heading out to minneapolis, the president had an exchange with a bunch of reporters, including our kaitlyn this? >> i don't know. i don't know how he knows these people? >> reporter: they're his clients. >> he has a lot of clients. i just don't know. i haven't spoken to rudy about it. i don't know. >> what do you think? as far as we know, rudy giuliani, as of right now, is still the president's personal attorney. >> he didn't come out and say this is an outrage, this is disgusting. there is nothing to this. >> witch hunt. >> i read this indictment and it's ridiculous. you know, this isn't throwing under the bus yet but is driving it pretty fast, i think. >> let's remember, over the past year, there have been efforts by people close to the president to try to get him away from rudy giuliani. >> right. >> warning him there were problems that perhaps he didn't know about. bill barr, who took office in february was briefed on this case, wolf, because it was already ongoing and we know one of the things that happened in the last few months was that bill barr was keeping his distance from rudy g

it's been both kaitlyn and crystal have been really great at educating them on any changes within staff and showing them the map of our permitted places and we are working with each permit officer directly on any enforcement action. so they've been super engaged administratively. but i agree it would be great to see them in here. >> you know, we've all been doing a lot of thinking around our mandate beyond just the regulation of night life but also the promotion of night life. and there are a lot of moments where when we are listening to different groups, tonight was really beautiful. we had someone from calle24 and we had the wharf fest. these are legacy businesses. there's a lot of history there. and i'm starting to become more curious what their outreach strategy includes. as we think about how we create a platform for promoting night life as a city agency, i think we need to incorporate more learning in our permitting process around what our permit holders and what people are doing to just engage at this point. i want to have an understanding of it's like street team activities, is

kaitlyn with the university of maryland. my question is given the discussion at this conference about how basically there's going to be a lot of space agencies moving toward the moon and mars in the next decade, is there any discussion of an international agreement or collaboration of some sort that might establish a clear planetary protection standard for spacefaring nations such as the ones on this panel? >> please. please. >> can i? well, for example, jaxa is right now planning a mission not to mars, itself, but to martian moon. and, i mean -- and that is a sample return mission so that we have to abide by the rule of planetary protection and just recently, we have submitted an idea to clear or make a new rule about the planetary protection from mars' martian moon and the forum for that is cosper which is international forum for scientific -- i would say of science and that kind of discussion is going on right now. >> i would add to that, you know, the outer space treaty which we all on this panel have agreed to says that

you know and yeah, it's not just about the detectives it really follows kaitlyn -- >> seth: dever >>being brought up in the foster care system and her life's just beginning to be hopeful, and she's attacked in her new apartment. and so it follows her and her experience she went to the police it took a lot of guts to go and report it. and they ended up accusing her of a false report. so it was just trauma upon trauma for her, and then concurrently these two detectives are kind of moving toward proving her innocence >> seth: it's a really -- it is also, you know, not just a heavy subject matter it's really an interesting narrative structure because it does have these two things sort of coming together and -- and while it's very serious, obviously, one thing that i thought was cool is you do have a kick-ass car in the show [ laughter ] and i think all detectives should have a kick-ass car and that is yours. [ laughter ] did you enjoy driving it >> oh, hell yeah i loved that muscle car. i mean, it's a gas guzzler, which is not cool, but it was -- it was fantastic and it's very representa

let's go to our white house correspondent kaitlyn collins. i understand you're get something reaction. >> yes. well, so far, the white house has been arguing this process was unfair to them and democrats needed to vote. now that this first formal vote has happened, the white house putting out a statement from the press secretary saying essentially they still feel the resolution, the rules laid out in that resolution, the groundwork for what you're going to see over the next few weeks is unfair. it's a long statement saying, quote, the president has done nothing wrong and democrats know it. they go on to say that today's vote has, quote, done nothing more than enshrine unacceptable violations of due process into house rules. they name speaker pelosi, adam schiff, and essentially say they've conducted behind closed door meetings, blocked the administration from participating and now voted for a second round of proceedings which they feel leaves them on out of the room. they are making this argument that for the last few weeks, we've seen closed

>> i see a lot of andy cohen fans i'm looking for one lovely lady who i think is an al roker fan kaitlynyou do? >> i do. >> can we clear the song >> okay. where are you from >> i'm from peoria, illinois, >> have some fun. clou day ♪ ♪ when it's cold outside i got the month of may ♪ ♪ i guess you'll say ♪ what can make me feel this way ♪ ♪ roker, roker roker >> wow. >> i love it >> that was amazing. >> wow >> she's awesome. >> you got a new theme song. >> i have never been serenaded on the plaza before. >> she's going to be singing all day, roker, roker. >> what's coming up, roker. >>> how about this from "mary poppins" to "the sound of music," and a secret whistling talent, julie andrews is spilling all in her new memoir we'll talk to dame andrews about some of the best stories she's finally sharing from her legendary career, not only coming up in this hour but the third hour of "today" as well. >> he's got the food, he's gotog he's going to teach us a little bit. >> quest love does not sleep by the way. >>> al mentioned in addition to the dame, a former truck driver who switched gears i

kaitlyn doyle is ready for her closeup. >> right center, center on the left -- >> reporter: at her regularhe nationwide chain offers only microtreatments, not surgical procedures like botox and fillers in a casual setting similar to a hair or nail salon. >> i'm going to be doing a little bit of botox around the crow's feet. >> i don't think that we should feel like we're in a clinical, cold environment. it's self-care, and it should almost be something enjoyable and fun. >> reporter: while social media inspires many to seek out cosmetic procedures, it's also filled with customer reviews of various companies showing the damage that can be done. >> fortunately the vast majority of the time in any setting, these are safe, and they're done properly. but the public needs to realize that this is medical care, and things can happen with medical care. >> the president of the american society of plastic surgeons -- >> within intersections, you can lose skin. you can get gangrene. you can get blindness that require in a moment treat. >> reporter: by law, injectables must be ordered by doctors. many

joining me now to discuss from south carolina is kaitlyn dawson. former state republican party head. and a former chief of staff to u utah republican senator. and senator, i want to get your take on the drama that took place on wednesday. is that a winning strategy? is that the new strategy for the republicans? >> well, i'll tell you, i have friends that were there doing it. the president mentioned them yesterday in south carolina. it's a winning strategy for them. i think what gets lost in these conversations that boyd and i understand is these people have to go home and run for primaries. and that will be primaries mixed into the democratic process of somebody trying to get nominated for president. donald trump's virtually won the nomination from the republican side. so this loses the fact a lot of our team has to be re-elected in primaries to be elected to a general and live through the summer to fight out a president's race. a pretty good strategy. we see the base getting firmer and firmer for president trump. right now as a political operative

kaitlyn tallmidge has written a book about nuclear competition between the united states and china. david dahler has a paper about china's belt and road initiative, and mark harlan and leah dreyfus have written a paper about china's overseas basing ambitions, and we have with us today chung lee who has written about xi's transformation as a populist and what that means for china's foreign policy. jamie has written a great paper on the shift in china's legal development and the growing role of the party in that, and then rush has contributed to a prior tranche in this series which was focused on continuity and change in china's foreign policy and what role president xi has played in it. and so has audrey as well where her focus has been on economic state craft. so let's jump right in and rush, i want to start with you because i think a lot of current debate about the united states policy toward china and also how many other countries around the world are reacting to china's rise really turns on what you think china wants, what kinds of resources and risk china is willing to wager to
