brian: kimberly? kimberly: good morning. my name is kimberly. i teach in a high school, enrollment in michigan. i teach world history, civics and government, current events, world cultures, and women's studies. brian: how many classes per day? kimberly brian: how many : five. students in each class? kimberly between 25 and 30. : brian: what is the difference between teaching in a rural school and a city school? -- my kimberly: our students have not had a lot of -- kimberly: our students have not had a lot of exposure to anything other than rural northern michigan for the most part. i was able to take students to chicago last winter, to go see the "hamilton" musical. and many of my students have never been to a big city before, quite a few of them had never been south of the 45th parallel, so, they have lived their whole lives closer to the equator. and quite a few of them were dumbstruck as we walked around the streets, with their heads up, looking at the buildings. and kind of in disbelief that there could be that many pupil -- that many people

kimberly, thank you for being with us.piece perfectly captured the rage i have been feeling about this for so long. you put it so well. could you take us through the specific areas of potential investigation that should be emerging from the mueller probe directed at the other side, but arts? what are the areas that should be looked at? >> thanks. you can make some direct comparisons. for instance, mr. mueller has handed off probe allegations and there have been charges now brought against mr. trump's attorney, michael cohen about campaign finance violations. if you go and look, remember it was the hillary clinton campaign that paid a law firm that in turn paid fusion gps to do the dossier. federal campaign law say you need to state who you are making payment to and for what purpose. this was funneled through a law firm and they falsely claimed it was for legal services. that seems to be a direct campaign-finance violation. why isn't there some investigation into that? if you are going to have one standard for all, it ought

kimberly leonard is joining us to talk about the efforts in congress. if you want to ask questions, you can do so. if you receive health care from an employer, call (202) 748-8000 . if you get health care via the aca, (202) 748-8001. everyone else, (202) 748-8002. one look at costs. if they were to put this bill into law, the congressional budget office, it looks at different bills and scores them, it says it would cost the government about $52 billion over 10 years. that is because the government would not be taking in a lot of these taxes that are meant to ultimately pay for obamacare. like i said, there have been a lot of delays in the taxes before. one of them that is included in this package, that i neglected to mention, is called the cadillac tax, which is supposed to apply to especially expensive health insurance plans. what has happened is that so many health insurance plans now qualify as expensive, cadillac plans, that really just apply to your average, middle income worker. a have been pushing that back along bipartisan lines for years. inis

inquiry into israel let's go live to our correspondent in washington kimberly hockett kimberly this is john bolton's first major address since joining the trumpet ministration and he's been going hard at the i.c.c. . oh there's no question about it in fact sort of really undermining its credibility saying that and pointing out that the majority or at least two thirds of the nations in the round the world don't recognize its authority that the united states believes it is rife with abuses that it undermines u.s. sovereignty and for that reason the united states says it will in no way shape or form respect any sort of attempt to prosecute u.s. citizens particularly with respect to alleged war crimes in afghanistan in fact arguing that if that were to happen the united states would take swift action today on the eve of september the eleventh i want to deliver a clear and unambiguous message on behalf of the president of the united states. the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court we wil

kimberly this was john bolton's first major address since joining the trump administration and he went to hide at the i.c.c. . yes he certainly did essentially what he's saying is that he has long held and many in the united states believe in the troubled ministration believes that it's rife with abuses it undermines u.s. sovereignty even violates the u.s. constitution that mandates a separation of powers and a check on those powers that none of this is possible and for that reason in the end many of those reasons alone that the u.s. will not recognize any attempt by the i.c.c. to potentially follow through with any sort of investigation into alleged war crimes when it comes to u.s. actions in afghanistan in fact promising very strict action if that were to take place in the form of criminal sanctions under the u.s. justice system the criminal justice system which could in fact mean sanctioning of individuals blocking entry into the united states and even criminal prosecution in the united states the u.s. is not a party to the rome statue came billy it's not part of the international c

halkett now kimberly realistically is there any chance this confirmation could be delayed or is that just the what the democrats want. no it definitely could be delayed and that is what is developing at this hour right now we have a vigorous defending of the nomination by the white house we are told that brett kavanaugh has been here on the white house grounds at some point spotted by a number of reporters i cannot confirm that independently but that is being widely reported it's not clear if he's left but certainly he has issued a statement through the white house saying that this is completely false in terms of the allegations the white house for its part is standing behind the nomination of brett kavanaugh as the republican chair of the senate judiciary committee where this nomination needs to be voted on before it can go to the full senate for a vote he is also saying that he is hoping to get to the bottom of this and wants to work through this and listen to the accusations but is only at this point willing to do that through telephone calls but i can tell you that that may not s

let's get to that because i think josh brings up a good point here, kimberly. the first sentence does read dr. ford accepts the committee's request to provide her firsthand knowledge of brett kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week. that is the way it reads. >> it is. i mean, it's certainly an indication that she wants to cooperate against the narrative being pushed by the opposite side that this is part of a democratic scheme to stall this nomination, but yes, there are very significant things that have not yet been agreed upon, right down to whether or not it will be a televised open session, which day it will happen, who will testify first, whether it will be dr. ford or judge kavanaugh, whether they be in the same room at the same time. we really don't know what the ultimate form of this testimony will come in, but it's clear that this is moving forward to what i think ultimately will have to be some sort of public airing of both sides in this matter. >> locklynn, have we taken a step back or just stalled based on what was released today? >> we're really in

to my colleague kimberly hell kid who's in our bureau in washington for us this hour kimberly so the f.b.i. has got free rein does that mean this potential for more awkward revelations and claims perhaps. there certainly is that potential but the way this process works is that the f.b.i. will conduct its investigation it will be looking into the claims made not only by dr christine blazin ford but also by deborah ramirez and potentially as well julie sweat nick two other women that have come forward with claims against judge kavanagh but this will be a very close process in contrast to the high drama we saw on capitol hill last week this then was the limited in scope investigation conducted by the f.b.i. is completed we believe by friday it will be referred to the white house and then sent to senators so if there are sort of further revelations peter it's unlikely that the public will hear about them at least right away having said that the white house is very concerned and we've heard this on some of the morning chat shows here sunday morning in washington talking about the leaking

attacks were civilians were killed how this certification could be made in light of those attacks kimberly you say there will be some pushback will pay or any of the senior member of government have to justify provide evidence as to why he's come to the judgment will he have to provide proof if you like of what they're doing. you know it doesn't appear to be required yet congress is the one that has the check and balance over the executive or the trumpet ministration and certainly they are going to be called on occasion up to capitol hill to testify and this will certainly be one of the things they could be. in questioning on given the fact that there are a growing number of democrats and republicans in congress who are going wait a second the actions of saudi arabia the u.a.e. do not line up with the statements of the trumpet ministrations saying that they are making their best efforts to reduce civilian casualties not only are we talking about the multiple attacks but also as a direct result of actions that are blocking humanitarian aid the trumpet ministration has has largely been silen

elections which could have a major impact on the trump presidency our white house correspondent kimberly how could reports accusing current president donald trump of capitalizing on resentment former u.s. president barack obama delivered a blistering attack on trump's time in the white house this is not normal these are extraordinary times and they're dangerous times obama is back on the campaign trail advocating for democrats in advance of a november vote that will determine control of the u.s. congress and offer what he believes is a much needed check on his successor the politics of division resentment and paranoia that's unfortunately found a home in the republican party. obama's fiery speech took aim at some of trump's most controversial moments as president losing his response to white nationalist protests in charlottesville when trump blamed both sides for the trouble we're supposed to stand up to discrimination and was sure as heck supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to nazi sympathizers. how hard can that be saying that marx's are bad obama's attack comes as trump is
