ryan kavanaugh says his family wasn't home when the hit happened. back in september, but says fedex soon sent a third party assessor to evaluate the damages. their first assessment was very like exterior, like we'll replace the paint that was chipped on the garage. we'll replace this one section of the gutter. and then we counted like 4 or 5 roof tiles for how much? i believe the original assessment was right around $1,200. kavanaugh, who says he has worked construction for over 20 years, tells us he knew that amount seemed off, so he hired his own contractor to look beyond the exterior damage. the original assessment that we had from the roofer was close to $80,000. and then once we got past the roof assessment and into the structural d damage anthe interior of the jots that were cracked and stuff, that the last assessment we got was $113,000. at that time, the homeowner says fedex sent a second evaluator who came back with a $5,800 assessment. but kavanaugh says the main damage is in the attic and the framing that connects to that part of the roof

harris tried to destroy kavanaugh. kavanaugh won. they're trying to destroy trump. literally trying to kill him. he's going to win. as to liz cheney, she is selling out conservatism to stay relevant. she got waxed in wyoming, got defeated like a like a drum beat like a drum. and she's campaigning with kamala harris. you're telling me you're pro-life and you want this lady to be president who believes in abortion up to the moment of birth? you're telling me you believe in a strong military when she advocated getting out of afghanistan, the last person in the room with biden. you're telling me you believe in energy independence and you want her to be president? stopping oil and gas drilling? so liz cheney, don't listen to her. she's selling out conservatism to stay relevant. she's not relevant in terms of conservatism. she's no longer has a voice as to as to the senate. they're trying to destroy tim sheehy. now, who's leading in montana, a certified war hero, navy seal, wounded purple heart, bronze star with valor. they're accusing him of lying about his military reco

kavanaugh says he just wants his home to go back to how it was before the incident took place. earlier this morning, we reached out to fedex, but no one has responded to our request for comment or to our questions about their policy when it comes to delivery drivers using private driveways during deliveries in brentwood, hilda gutierrez, nbc bay area news. hilda. thank you. we are learning new details about a tragic car crash in piedmont. the lone survivor is 20 year old jordan miller. his father tells us he's a business student at the university of wisconsin in madison. three others did die in this crash. all were 2023 piedmont high graduates early wednesday morning. they were in a fiery crash while riding in a tesla cybertruck. a mushroom warehouse is in pieces after a fire in morgan hill. this happened at around 7:00 this morning at an office on hale and san bruno avenues. crews say it then spread to the nearby monterey mushroom warehouse. it did destroy about half of that warehouse. the other half is untouched. thankfully, no one was hurt. firefighters are still investigati

i was just struck by the comments referencing now justice kavanaugh because to me, i remember reporting on that moment at the time and when he came out during his confirmation hearings and he was angry and he was furious and he was fighting, denying the charges of sexual misconduct against the women who had made them, and that was the moment that turned the tide for him in a positive way. that was what republican senators responded to, and more relevant that was what then president donald trump liked to see. he wants to see someone who fights against these charges, and denies them and gets angry and is defiant, much the way he has behaved when he has faced similar allegations. and so, if you're performing for an audience of one, which, again, these members need to perform for an audience of slightly larger than one, this is what president-elect trump wants them to do and that's why i think we should expect, regardless of the police report and any other details that come out, that's what we should expect to see going forward. >> chris, yesterday it was gaetz, today hegseth, how helpful a

kavanaugh says fedex is refusing to cover anything beyond $5,800 in damages. so he says he hired an attorney that sent fedex a demand letetter. kavaugh says he just wants his home to go back to how it was before the incident took place. earlier this morning, we reached out to fedex, but no one has responded to our request for comment or to our quesestions abt their policy when it comes to delivery drivers using private driveways during deliveries. in brentwood. hilda gutierrez, nbc bay area news. okay. thank you. hilda. check your fridge. a produce company is recalling cucumbers in dozens of states, including california, because of salmonella concerns. sunfed said its whole fresh american cucumbers could be contaminated. the recalled cucumbers were packaged in these bulk cardboard containers marked with the sunfed label. they were sold from october 12 through november 26th. the cucumbers were distributed in 26 different states, including california. parts of canada also impacted. so far, 68 people have gotten sick from the cucumbers. 18 of them hospitalized. r

justice kavanaugh: the other side says that the common sense is really captured by the residual clauseigin: your honor, let me make several points about that. justice kavaugh: and let me just finish. mr. feigin: okay. justice kavanaugh: and the residual clause, of course, in johnson and davis was -- was declared unconstitutional. and that -- the other side says what you're -- and -- and, by the way, it was pointed out that that would lead to absurdities, and here we are, and that you're trying to jam cases that would have naturally fit under the residual clause into the other clause. so that's what the other side is suggesting you're doing. mr. feigin: if i could have a second, several points on that. number one, i think he's trying to have it both ways. he's arguing that congress wouldn't want -- have wanted this to be a crime of violence at all, and he's relying on this residual clause argument. as to the residual clause argument, this isn't a case about potential risks, which is what the residual clause covers. this is a case where we know somebody dies. i think the court has not re

. >> do you think it will feel like like the brett kavanaugh confirmation process. you know, republican senator bill hagerty actually brought up the kavanaugh hearings today. >> yeah, i mean, i think it's going to be like way more intense because if you think about it again yes, hegseth was not charged with that. he also wasn't exonerated, as you mentioned. but the military has had an issue with sexual assault that they've been trying to address for a number of years. and now you're putting a guy that's potentially guilty of that in charge of the pentagon. and so i think that the hearings are going to be pretty brutal for him. um and, you know, we'll see what comes out of that. and keep in mind, if there was any other potential victims of hegseth, i'm not saying there are but if there were, they may come out in the next couple of months. and so this could get this could get pretty interesting again. and it should be looked at very hard because again, this is the military we're talking about, not some small government bureaucracy, but probably the most important func

you know, he has now become the kavanaugh figure or whatever we want to call it that the spotlight isvin cramer saw him concerning how concerning this is. lisa murkowski and susan collins, can he get all three over the edge or do senators, just they don't want this to turn into a circus. they don't want another kavanaugh hearing situation and don't think somebody like him is worth it to put them through another situation like this. so far, though, from the trump campaign, from the trump team, they are solidly behind him and excited about this pick but i do think that senators are concerned now that it will turn in to another just is this person worth -- are his qualifications worth him actually getting this role and us putting up this fight? >> yeah. there is the sort of question that everyone is wondering yesterday which is does the fact that gaetz has bowed out, does that help pete hegseth or hurt him? on one hand you could say the sacrificial lamb has been sacrificed but now you can say all of the spotlight is on hegseth. what is the overall mood in terms of these announced picks?

now here's where i have to ask because i remember the fbi investigation into brett kavanaugh and i remember reporting in the "washington post" on how surface that investigation was. i'll just remind everybody. the trump administration, this is according to the -- the "washington post," the trump administration protected kavanaugh from facing a full fbi investigation in the wake of serious allegations that he sexually assaulted two women. at least eight senators cited the fbi's findings when they voted to confirm the justice. it effectively provided them cover to vote for this notion of an fbi investigation. >> it was a total farce. they set up a hotline and they never even pursued most of the leads that were coming to the hotline and then you had actual woman in the kavanaugh investigation who were contacting members of congress and saying we have information and nobody was following up on it. the idea you can say that we can rely at this point on the fact that there's going to be an investigation, i mean, give me a break. i think what you'd want to see is, let's see the underlying informat

accusing justice kavanaugh of doing something in high school. they hit it from us, they gave it to us right before we voted. i think she had something to do with that. it was feinstein and harris. and harris try to destroy kavanagh. kavanagh one. they try to destroy trump, literally trying to kill him, he will win it. as to liz cheney, she is selling out conservatism to stay relevant. she got waxed in wyoming, defeated like a drum backbeat like a drum and she is campaigning with kamala harris? you are telling me you are pro-life and you want this lady to be president. >>> who believes in abortion up to the bone of birth? you tell me you believe in a strong military when she advocated getting out of afghanistan, the last person in the room with biden? you're telling me you believe in energy independence and you want her to be present -- president, stopping oil and gas drilling? so liz cheney, don't listen to her. she is selling out conservatism to stay relevant. she is not relevant in terms of conservatism. she no longer has a voice. as to the se

reminds me what happened to brett kavanaugh. >> reporter: so we are watching republican senators tryplay the sexual assault allegations and also try to compare them to that of then-justice number any brett kavanaugh. i think it's important to point out the ways these two instances are different. in the kavanaugh case, the witness in in that instance went before the judiciary committee that is definitely not where we are in this process now. but in the instance of hegseth, there is the payment, the settlement that he made to this accuser, his lawyer has said that was to protect his career. but also there is the police report that nbc news was able to obtain overnight that really goes into much greater detail than previously had been known about this allegation, and so certainly there is a lot of questions that senators might have as they go into these meetings and certainly that the public should have as hegseth's nomination continues to progress. >> meanwhile, lawmakers on the house ethics committee deadlocked on whether to release the report on gaetz. is that the end of the road for

. >> justice kavanaugh. companies typically d. all of these things will be put into play.ding a language goes to how probable it all is. ld adopt a regulation that says what it currently says about risk factors a added and by the way if you are identifying possible future events that c create harm, you also need to identify those events have occurred in the past >> is at a guess? >> they did not do that when it promulgated item 106 j last . it did not include episodes of data misuse to what happened to be disclosed. they shied away from requiring previous occurrences, precisely be companies complained about the burden that thatld impose. >> it is about more than just the regulatory context. it makes it not easily acceptable to a categoric rule adopting the virtual certainty test wheret is nobody's choice it is hardor me to see why we would do that. assume for me t think that the ninth circuit rules too far and i think your rule goes too r. very hard to articulate what the line is and i can put it this way it seems like the hardest hypotheticals are ones where the risks are

they will have more useless disclosures potentially of this. >> justice kavanaugh.ou said there's no fair notice issue here. i guess because i'm not really seeing that because all the hypotheticals illustrated a of uncertainty when the company would be required to that goes back to the question i raised which is why can't the sec just write a reg. it's verple to add to 105 something l when the company discloses the risk of a future event that could cause harm, also disclose any past >> could the sec do that? >> the could always be clearer in this regard and maybe it could some d but i don't think the sec feels that it >> why does the judiciary have to walk the plank on this and answer that question when the sec could do it, tall uncertainty and of the theticals that have arisen which in turn just f speaking to myselfs a lot of questions for companies about what they don't and t, ofe and course, going forward, looking backward they will be stu with liability. going forwahey are going to disclose everything in which defeats the whole at least as i understand the whole

i mean, look at one of his first supreme court justice picks, brett kavanaugh, who we forget. remember, brett kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault. we listen to dr. christine blasey ford. we heard all the things he had done. and then find out after the fact that they stopped all of the other information about brett kavanaugh into a draw. these are things that donald trump likes. birds of a feather flock together, and that is what this cabinet is. >> to daniel's point, even if you wanted to kind of give trump the benefit of the doubt, which would be absolutely insane, you can say that hegseth's allegations came out after he was nominated. maybe he was a high enough profile, people didn't necessarily know he had these issues. elon musk, linda mcmahon, rfk junior, and trump himself, all of their accusations and allegations were all known to everybody, and therefore you can't say that trump did not know about their allegations and accusations, like you could with hegseth . >> i think with donald trump it is some kind of manly thing. like what you're doing? this is what i did. t

well, judge kavanaugh at the time he stood firm. he he looked the camera right in the eye. he pushed back against those allegations. he was confirmed, and he turned out to be a spectacular justice, an excellent justice of the united states supreme court. so these smears happen. i mean, it is it is. there is a pattern here of smearing people who the who president trump has nominated to. i know that we are at the point where we can describe either of these incidents as smears. i think the argument that seth's lawyers are making is that he wasn't charged and that there's no active case here. it's not a denial that nothing happened. >> i mean, a smear suggests they're a smear suggests that somebody went back in time and called the police retroactively about this alleged sexual assault. >> right. i mean, also, many people on the record from before this from 2017. >> right. and look this also plays very strongly into how sexual assault cases work. over 80% of sexual assault is not charged. so i think that, you know this goes down the path of how in many cases, there are women. th

years ago on a television show called "the circus" that we hosted together, we covered the brett kavanaugh nomination. i remember very vividly going up in the closing days of that, flying up to new hampshire, spending time with you, chasing susan collins around. the sound of susan collins, lisa murkowski, others, expressing deep concerns, grave concerns, real serious concerns, and in voting for the nominee anyway. that is what the since memory is that and the ptsd is that, which is you can be cynical and say, a moment where she is concerned about something, she is quite likely to overcome those concerns and do the things she is concerned about. i have sent here for the last-- since last wednesday, when the immediate reaction of a lot of people was, these three nominees, tulsi gabbard, gaetz, and obviously gaetz, are uncomfortable. they will never get confirmed. i have spent the time since then in maine, searching for someone who can point to an example with the republicans in the united states senate have ever stood up to legitimate, hard-core pressure of donald trump. i am still waiting.

brett kavanaugh in the george wrnlgts w. bush administration.he's made gestures towards the center. they have hope in her and how much despite engaging with the left wing justices she sends up more with the justices on the right 90% of the time. voting with chief justice roberts and kavanaugh. hope springs eternal. never know where someone's going to go. right now so much attention on clarence thomas, who's 76 and sam alito 74 with people thinking will they leave now that drnt is onald trump is in office? not eager to leave but might be enough pressure to go while a like- minded republican is there in office. >> and speaking of that, he may have opportunities to reshape the court even more to his liking than he already has. how could that impact the direction that the court takes for the next generation? >> everybody talking about how it could get even more conservative. it's hard to know how much more. given they've already reversed half a century of abortion rights when they reversed roe v. wade and enhanced gun rights. they've rolled back the

. >> coming to take the first example justice kavanaugh, it's hard i'm not looking for comment on the specific example tort you know in advance multiple other people are also discharging into the same waters when you're going to have crossed the line. >> i don't think that concern can justify throwing all these out across the board. >> justice gorsuch question was i think and the chief justice of combining the water quality standards in the effluent limitations part of what we have to do is to figure how they fit together b1 c it strikes me but congress ensured more effectiveness and fair notice was to say the end is quality standards such as this, discoloration of fish, marine communities et cetera but the memes to the end were affluent limitations which would both be as a chief justice said more effective and fair notice. if they are not tight enough epa's mechanisms to tighten them up. what is wrong with that bleeding of the two things together? how does that hurt epa if you want to say that if you want to respond to that house at harm epa's ability to regulate if they have to do i

it just feels like donald trump is cultivating people around him he nominated brett kavanaugh, credicallyied the claims. two-thirds of the majority on the supreme court if you include clarence thomas. there is something happening with republicans where all the things that qanon claimed were true, right. they were saying that that was true about democrats. but here we are. what does this stay to women? >> yes. that's a good point. and i think, look, these people are in the highest levels of the law. like attorney general, you are setting the law. and on the federal level. and then you have someone who has numerous allegations and venmo and i think what's the most interesting in a weird way it seems clear at some point trump realized this wouldn't if go through because he had somebody else teed up. >> a woman all teed up. it's clear it was deliberate. he looked for another florida person, this time a woman. >> right. and i think ultimately, look, it's modeling a kind of bad behavior. part of trumpism is giving this permission that you don't have to care about people, right. that you can kin

i remember the fbi investigation into brett kavanaugh and the reporting in the washington post aboutemind everybody. the trump administration, according to the washington post, the trump administration protected kavanaugh from facing a full fbi investigation in the wake of serious allegations that he sexually assaulted two women. at least eight senators cited the fbi's findings when they voted to confirm the justice. it effectively provided them cover to vote. >> it was a total farce. they set up a hot line and never pursued most of the leads coming into it. then women were contacting members of congress and saying we have information, and nobody was following up on it so. the idea that you can say, that we can rely at this point on the fact that there's going to be an investigation, i mean, give me a break. i think what you'd want to see is let's see the underlying information to this report. let's see the interviews, see what the written testimony was from the witnesses and hear from the witnesses to the extent we can. don't just say we're going to rely on what the fbi has done. we

it reminds me of the brett kavanaugh confirmation when they accused him of rape at a party and it turned out to be a lie. look what they put him through during the confirmation process. matt gaetz, it is possible, but why wasn't he convicted if they have this evidence against him? i would like to see the report. it will probably be leaked, is my guess, and we will find out. but i love the pam bondi pic from florida, a great pig, actually better than matt gaetz. matt gaetz is a super intelligent person. i think i would like to see him work with ramaswamy and elon musk because he is a super intelligent person. host: regarding pam bondi, what is it about her that qualifies her for the job? clearly, she was florida's attorney general. are there other things? caller: she has a lot of integrity. she is a patriot. she is on the same page with make america great again. i think she will align with the trump agenda. and he trusts her, has known her for many years. i think she is full of integrity and will be a great pic and she should fly through the confirmation process. god bless america. god bl

alicia, i would note to your point, to your question, maybe i just think back to the kavanaugh hearingsings and senators had pointed question, one of them kamala harris, and a lot of things that were said then came back around and were foundational for kind of reporting and what not. so, look, get your questions ready, senators. get the questions ready, but i just think these people are going to get confirmed. >> okay. so that is what republicans are doing as they gear up for a new administration, but, next, the candidates emerging to lead the democratic party into the future. you're watching "the weekend." ♪ ♪ >>> the next chair of the democratic national committee will have a big job on their hands, leading top-level infrastructure, organizing fundraising, all for democrats ahead of 2026 and 2028 elections. they also will be in charge of shaping that process in 2028 -- really 2027 for the primaries. so far two contenders officially have thrown their hats into the race, martin o'malley and the chair of the democratic arm ken martin. ken martin is currently a dnc vice chair. nbc news ha

quite the contrary. >> because we're not talking about brett kavanaugh here. we're talking about matt gaetz, who is a different animal entirely in terms of politics. >> 100%. >> not just in terms of the sexual assault allegations and the swirl, but what he represents in terms of dismantling the federal government and weaponizing the justice department. given that, john, we had ali on talking about the back and forth in the house ethics committee. there's this report that has this potentially explosive material in it. a democrat on the house ethics committee could go to the floor of the house and enter it into the public record. it would be a branch of protocol like we've never seen before, but it is allowed and it would put it in the public eye. i sort of understand why democrats see themselves as the guardrails of protecting institutional integrity, but we're also talking about matt gaetz at the department of justice. >> right. >> do you see any way in which democrats start playing a different kind of baseball in this moment? >> i think it's as much about the

don't don't forget when brett kavanaugh faced his allegation, what donald trump say, he said, this is a very dangerous time in america for men. that was his response to christine blasey ford. so you could see some of that certainly from the top. i think they're going to be other issues that are probably the pivot here. >> let's talk about rfk jr. the president elect's choice to lead health and human services when it was announced on thursday, some of the pushback was about the vaccine skepticism. some of the conspiracy theories around fluoride, as well but former vice president mike pence released a statement calling the nomination an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of pro-life americans who have supported the republican party and our nominees for decades, urged senators to oppose him. what's the value of his opposition and in this context yeah, that was fascinating, right coming from that angle, essentially it provides a more congenial or acceptable reason for republican senators who might harbor doubts about

yes. >> justice kavanaugh? >> you said there's no fair notice iere. i guess -- i guess i'm not really seeing that, because all the hypotheticals have illustrated a lot of uncerta about when a company would be required to disclose a not. that blends back into the question i rairlier and the chief raised, whichy can't the sec just write a reg? it's very simple, i think, to add to 105 something light, w -- when the company discloses the risk of a future event that could cause harm, also disclose any past occurrences of that event. >> i think -- >> why -- could the sec do that? >> the sec could always be clearer in this regard, and maybe it could someday, but i don't think the sec feels that it hasn't already wrten the regs. >> well, why -- i mean, why does the judiciary hawalk the plank on this and -- and answer that question when the sld do it with all the uncertainty and all the hypotheticals that have arisen, which, in turn, at le i see it, just speaking for myself, raises a lot of questions for companiet what they have to disclose and what they don't

think brett kavanaugh. >> i think that if they want a speedy consideration of this nomination, there's uh- we've got to have as much transparency as we can have. >> the ethics committee report has become a big issue because gaetz abruptly resigned from congress after his nomination, which ended the committee's jurisdiction over him. gaetz denies all wrongdoing. a department of justice investigation into the allegations ended with no charges. >> 511 in the accuweather forecast. it's a busy morning. tracking the heavy rain in the north bay and some strong winds in our hills right now in the north bay. we have winds close to 50mph. even in the oakland hills. you're feeling that strong wind right now? 40mph. and throughout the day, winds at the valley floor, at the surface where most of us live and work, they will pick up as well. winds right now strongest along the coast and in the north bay. we're gusting to 24, and half moon bay 32. is that current wind gust in ukiah? a wind advisory is currently in effect for the entire bay, shoreline, the coast, and in the north bay. for those strong

and this is really approaching kavanaugh proportions. they're trying to do to him what they did to kavanaugh. and the answer to that is, let the guy speak. he deserves to be able to address this himself. he deserves to be able to lay out his vision and the president's vision for the doj. and i look forward to that. and listen, as i said to president trump, i'm going to help in whatever way i can to get the president the cabinet that he wants and deserves. this take gates out for a second. just talk about all these guys and women that are up for this, these cabinet positions. i saw your colleague tuberville hold up a sign on the senate floor with a big zero zero democrats in the senate voted against any of biden's cabinet nominees. zero. and look what these nominees did in biden's cabinet. they wrecked the country. they blew open the border. they spent trillions of dollars. zero. democrats were against them. a republicans comfortable voting against president trump's picks. i sure hope not. i mean, listen, i think that the president deserv

kavanaugh that grabbed a lot of headlines.- rather, the trump transition team and former congressman matt gaetz decided it wouldn't be worth putting him through the next few weeks having these incessant headlines. instead having him step aside and put somebody else up for the job. >> what happens to matt gaetz? does he go back to his congressional seat? was he promised something by president trump? we'll see in time. ken, let's look at the new choice, pam bondi, attorney general in the state of florida, the first female attorney general in that state, a defender of donald trump during impeachment both as an attorney and on television. what else do we know about her and how justice is feeling about this choice? >> well, one reaction i got from inside the justice department last night was this is matt gaetz with a better legal resume. the legal resume is significant, willie, and guys, because pam bondi was a career prosecutor down there in hillsborough county for many, many years before she was elected florida's first female att

we saw it with brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. we've seen it with other positions.of the questions this also raises, a report like this, is whether or not oftentimes in a position like justice department, attorney general, head of dod, head of intelligence, can things like that be used against the person that is in the position of power by foreign adversaries. information like that. so that's a question i think these senators are going to have. >> and it's a question that's going to divide house and senate power. because the senators may request that information but is the house ethics committee going to get it. you set a new precedent where all the information is able to be gotten by the senate. >> the fact that gaetz does not have great relations with a lot of republicans. >> before we go to break, the control room, don't get mad. i want to play this sound bite to remind people who kevin mccarthy said april 9th about matt gaetz, who led the charge to push him out of the speaker's chair. >> i'll give you the truth why i'm not speaker. it's because one person, a mem

i think having younger gen x justices who would work with barrett and brett kavanaugh could shift theight word just by creating a new dynamic. instead of having them bitter and angry and expressing their cello opinions, you might have five or six justices all willing to join together and shift the court right word. when they are in their 50s, they are all speaking the same language, they all came up in the same federalist society. they have a shared vision that they are going to pursue together. >> let's talk a little bit about the biden administration. one of the key points was to try to counteract with the trump administration had done and right now there are currently about 20 or so judicial nominations that are pending at the senate. and the democrats push these nominations through and if they are successful in doing so, what would be the consequences? >> they absolutely can if they grow a backbone and are willing to do so they are handing them over to donald trump and we know the kind of point he is, one of the judges he appointed during the last presidency interfered with the cl

desde octubre del 2023, residentes de la calle kavanaugh driving east palo alto han estado exigiendoores manejen a alta velocidad. el vecino aquí a 2 casas. el carro se se se metió hasta su hasta su jardín y pues entonces es lo que pasa que van a alta velocidad, pierden el control y se estampan contra las casas. ante la preocupación de esos residentes en marzo, nosotros nos comunicamos con el alcalde antonio lópez y esto fue lo que nos dijo para ese entonces implementar esos topes. ya para otoño tiene mi palabra, ya para otoño tendremos esos topes. el viernes nos volvimos a contactar con él. si había dicho que para este otoño e decía que daba su palabra, que para este otoño iba a colocar los topes. ya estamos a finales de otoño. cuál es la respuesta para estos residentes que aún no les ven? si no, desafortunadamente. mil disculpas. es algo que la velocidad del gobierno, desafortunadamente no mueve a la al. al paso que esperamos. yo personalmente me frustra que si les dije que iba a ser el otoño, aunque aseguro que hace un mes finalizaron negociaciones con una compañía que realizará e

that gathering to discuss in the incarceration of women and girls is anecdote to white supremacists kavanaugh shit show. professor, did i read that correctly? >> thank you for reciting that. i really here today to talk about research and in prison conditions for incarcerated pregnant women. >> where you speaking for johns hopkins when you sent this out? >> i was not speaking for johns hopkins. >> well, i'd like to solve this problem, professor, but we're not going to salt lake with that kind of attitude. thank you, ladies, for being here. i appreciate the courage that, that it took to come forward today. >> yes, sir. >> thank you. >> as tempted as i am, dr. sufrin, to take the bait, my suggestion is that we return to the substantive matter at hand, which is the widespread abuse and mistreatment of pregnant and postpartum women in america's prisons and jails. and i'll yield to senator booker. >> thank you, mr. chairman. there's a wide room here for bipartisan work, and i'm grateful for my experiences with the first step act when we came forward on these issues and found from the white house, t

if you remember, clearance cler clarence thomas and bret c kavanaugh, they are all rumors, we have to look at facts, we have to help president trump, he will not pick a criminal. he will i ha vet everyone, i long for look forward to working with them. and backing them as long as facts are there. larry: senator, will matt gaetz get a fair hearing, i know he will did office to office, as you know he served to judiciary commit first his many terms, he is a sharp tongue conservative, i don't know. allegations seem to crop up, the justice department the weaponized lawfare justice department, of joe biden and merrick garland, that originally put this stuff out, and sir, they koofn couldn't find anything they dropped changes that tells me there is something fishy, the question, does matt gaetz date get a fair hearing. >> i do, i may be more bullish on this i believe that president trump ran on idea that he and a band of disrupters would come to washington take on permanent washington and reforms we need are not just legislative, they have to come from you know change agents there are leading

. >> starting with neil gorsuch, just weeks after taking office, then brett kavanaugh in 2018. and finishing off with amy coney barrett just a week before election day. >> we were looking in that moment at the cementing of a super majority of conservative justices with great fear. because we knew the potential would be very quickly to overturn roe. >> the supreme court has overturned roe versus wade. >> i'm here because i'm absolutely ecstatic that roe has been overturned. >> president trump's appointments to the court are probably his lasting legacy, going to long outlive donald trump. going to long outlive his memory, because a lot of the justices, the appointed judges, are fairly young. >> one of trump's most consequential legacies, a huge win for trump and his conservative base. >> for 54 years, they were trying to get roe versus wade terminated. and i did it. >> but the reversal of roe would become a loss at the ballot box. blunting the expected red wave in the 2022 midterms. and being very unpopular with voters as trump approaches 2024. >> he doesn't know how to talk abou

authoritarian that even very conservatively collectivists at wayland who helped push through brett kavanaugh's confirmation lasted it today is a cockamamie scheme and implored speaker johnson not to let it happen. you can guess how that will go over. how willing are the republicans on capitol hill to abdicate that much of their power to trump. a georgetown university professor and he joins me now. since we talk about congress, wanted pick up on something sherrilyn ifill said about calling your senator, senators and members of congress, the correct number is 202-224-3121. let's talk about this. recess appointments have actually been the site of a lot of contests over time. maybe set up the background the status on recess appointments. >> as you mentioned, you have to think about this in terms of the 19th century, technologies and transportation were congress would frequently be in the capitol for a few months then they go back to their home states for a number of months. if the secretary of state passed away during that time, you don't want the country to be without a secretary of state. the pr

i think having younger, like gen x justices, who would work with amy coney barrett and brett kavanaugh, could potentially shift the court right ward. instead of having alito and thomas expressing their bitterness. you might have have some willing to shift the court rightward. when they're in their 50s, they are saying the same thing. they have a shared vision that they're going to pursue together. >> leah, let's talk a little bit about the biden administration. one of the key points the biden administration had done. and right now, there are currently about 20 or so judicial nominations that are pending at the senate. can the democrats push these nominations through during this lame duck period? and if they aren't successful in doing so, what would be the consequences? >> they absolutely can, if they grow a backbone and are willing to do so. i think it's important to fill the vacancies. of course if they don't, they're handing them over to donald trump. and we know the kind of appointees. one of the people in last session was aileen cannon, who basically stymied the process. another it

i don't know enough about brett kavanaugh yet to to say, but these were two people who were attorneys for presidents and dealt with frivolous lawsuits and felt that the power of the presidency was being held back by lawsuits. so they over reacted it seems to me and i think there will be a correction i know they'll a correction because the other side doesn't want side. they don't like to have that kind of power. there is nothing in the constitution that should lead us to presume that president should have immunity, that other citizens have. there is no kingly power other than the pardon in the constitution for for for a president. as such. the second issue that you brought up was, again, me the the senate. just the fact that we have a president the felonies write felony people that serve their time who are disenfranchized. yeah so i think i mean the that the president has i think the founders believe that the public would be unlikely to elect someone like that, but they didn't rule it out. i think in part because they also understood people could be wrongfully convicted to the the part
