senator klobuchar. senator klobuchar: thank you, mr. chairman. before i begin my opening statement, i wanted to respond to just a few things. one, none of that takes away from the fact that 42,000 documents were dumped on us last night. and i don't think anyone would go to trial and allow a trial to go forward or aa lou a case to go forward if one side got 4 ,000 documents the night before and the other side -- you can't simply review them. as pointed out by senator whitehouse, you have to review 7,000 documents every hour. that happened last night. senator grassley: let me respond without taking time away from you. democrats got exactly the same amount of money we did to do the work, the massive amount of work we had to do. we got it done at 11:00 last night. senator klobuchar: my point is no one could prepare and review 42,000 documents in one evening. we know that. no matter how much coffee you drink. and the second point is that it is true that executive privilege has never been invoked before to block the release of presidential records to t

i think brett kavanaugh regrets that exchange with senator klobuchar. i would if i were him.nt to give your opponent something to throw at you, but this thing is off the rails and it could be understood why he was upset. the guy broke down and cried twice when he talked about his young daughter praying for the accuser. he couldn't get out the words that he wanted to be like his father that he kept a calendar. this has been gut wrenching for kavanaugh and ford both. >> we are hearing everything from limited in scope to the president himself saying a free reign. do you see that a confirmation of kavanaugh could mean lost seats this mid-term election? >> no, i spent the other night with the wyoming county republican committee out here in new york 27. it's a seat that is now being rated a toss up by real clear politics and every republican in there is incensed about the way kavanaugh has been treat and coming out like never before. i think the democrats are going to be surprised about the backlash created by this. i believe that even though it's -- there is no blue wave. there is

. >> senator klobuchar. >> thank you, mr. chairman. judge, we are talking here about decency and you understand we have this constitutional duty to advise and consent. for me, when this evidence came forward, i decided that i needed to look at this and i needed to find out about it and i needed to ask you questions about it as well as others that were involved. so again, i'm not going to take quite the same approach as my colleagues here and talk about donald mcgahn or any of this. why don't you just ask the president, dr. ford can't do this. we clearly haven't been able to do it. ask the president to reopen the investigation. >> i think the committee, you are doing the investigation. i'm here to answer questions. i should say something, senator klobuchar. i appreciate our meeting together. i appreciate how you handled the prior hearing and i have a lot of respect for you. >> thank you. all of that aside, here's the thing. you could actually just get this open so we can talk to these witnesses and the fbi can do it instead of us. you c

rachel dratch as senator amy klobuchar. governor, what if this happens?eport comes back, it's basically all the same things we know now except the investigations have been done by the fbi. what then? >> well, i hope he's voted down then. i mean, i think -- as you know, i was not in favor of him to begin with, for a variety of reasons, but i do think that this is a moment that was really a watershed for people who have not been heard. when flake -- when senator flake was in that elevator and maria -- anna maria and maria gallagher said, look at me. are you telling me that my experience doesn't matter? women have felt that way for so long. and these two spoke for so many that the ability to have an investigation -- this is before -- of course, we knew that the investigation was going to happen, i cannot tell you the palpable pain that existed among people who felt like plowing over, plowing through women. we had the most credible witness we could possibly have and it wasn't going to be good enough. >> let's show that sound because you were referring to it a

amy klobuchar continuously asked him if he felt he drank too much in his high school career f. there were instances or moments that he could not recall. klobuchar was on state of the union with jake tapper and asked about whether she worried that the white house may have too much input into this fbi investigation. listen to what she said. >> it will be limited in scope. it's meant to the last for a week, i believe beginning last friday. the fbi is not tasked with doing that here. the president very much respects the independence of the fbi and feels they should be looking at anything they think is credible within this limited scope. >> that's obviously not amy klobuchar, but she was concerned and that it is something she had not seen before at the white house. may try to guide this in a favorable way. press secretary sarah sanders was on a sunday morning talk show and the white house does not want to micromanage the fbi, but openly said she doesn't know if don mcgahn had given a list dictating who they could and could not sbruf. >> lots of different messages. thank you so much.

amy klobuchar just moments away. and a national debate playing out in congress. >> you're telling me that my assault doesn't matter! >> this is hell. >> how will the passions impact the midterms, now just five weeks away? >>> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington, where the state of our union is searching for answers. judge kavanaugh and christine blasey ford are convinced they are telling the truth, but both cannot be 100% accurate, and now the fbi has until the end of the week to investigate per the senate judiciary committee. the fbi is reaching out to witnesses and intends to interview mark judge, who ford said was in the room when kavanaugh allegedly assaulted her. the probe comes after allegations made by three women, ford, zebdeborah ramirez and ju swetnick. saturday, prucesident trump sai the fbi has free reign to investigate judge kavanaugh, but he also cast the confirmation fight as part of a larger battle. >> a vote for judge kavanaugh is also a vote to reject the ruthless and outrageous tactics of the demo

you are going to have amy klobuchar on after me -- >> the president won't embrace it, though. you are not doing it. >> let me give you a couple examples. bipartisanship that is important, mccain and trump focus. we passed the national defense authorization act. i think all 85 senators voted for that. that was a mccain-led bill on the armed services committee. it was about rebuilding military, implementing a new strategy that the president put out. that was very bipartisan. right now, you follow this, chuck, we are working on appropriations bills. the first time since 1979 that we are actually working on getting appropriations bills done, republicans and democrats done in the senate, the president has been pushing that. certainly john mccain was somebody who believed in that. my point is, you are right, the message of working together, particularly in the memory of john mccain is important, but i think a lot of that is happening. do we have principle differences on some issues? absolutely we do. a lot of those have been with us for a while. >> how do you explain the president's

senator klobuchar -- >> you mentioned what i said. let me just -- i did say we should look at her cases just as we should on judge kavanaugh's. but -- but you neglect to mention, carefully neglect to mention and i think erroneously neglect to mention that the republicans asked for four minutes from her work at a civil rights work in the 1980s, long before she was ever even considered as a judge. you asked for that and we got it for you. that's the difference. >> mr. chairman? >> mr. chairman? >> before senator klobuchar speaks, we have 488,000 pages of documents. go ahead, senator klobuchar. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. few points here. number one, justice sote owe my i don't remember never worked in the white house so none of these privileges that we've been discussing are relevant. number two while i appreciate you granting my request, mr. chairman, on these campaign finance documents, this is all they were. this is it. this is how many pages. yet we have 148,000 documents that we can't talk about publicly and i will say th

we'll talk with senator klobuchar than in a few minutes. if brett kavanaugh ends up on the supreme court, or if he doesn't and he just goes back to the d.c. court of appeals, not just this sexual assault allegation levied against him during his confirmation process by christine blasey ford, but also this side of brett kavanaugh that he showed today in the hearing room, this will now be a part of the history of this nomination and of his role in history and his role as a judge. even if he steines d.c. appeals court, but especially if he goes the supreme court, kavanaugh's behavior today in this public hearing will change the modern perception of the court. in an indelible way, it will change the expectations for what judges are supposed to be like. now in terms of assessing the sexual assault allegation against brett kavanaugh, which was the cause of today's hearing, there was a pretty tight range in terms of things that were actually fought over in the committee room. one of them that was fought over and over again, and it's still unanswere

you'll have amy klobuchar on after me. >> the president won't embrace it though. so the president won't embrace it. >> let me give me a couple of examples. we passed the national defense authorization act. all 85 senators voted for that. that was a mccain led bill on the armed services committee. it was all about rebuilding the military. all about implementing a new strategy that the president has put out. that was very bipartisan. we have -- right now and you follow this, chuck, we're working on appropriations bills, first time since 1979 that we're getting appropriation bills, all of them done. certainly john mccain was somebody who believed on that part of the regular order. my point is you're right. the message of working together, particularly in the memory of john mccain is important. but i do think that a lot of that is happening. and do we have principled differences on some issues, absolutely we do. but a lot of them have been with us for a while. >> how do you explain the president's behavior and how he comported himself this week in regards to john mcca

. >> for klobuchar. >> thank you, mr. chairman. judge, we're talking here about decency, and you understand we have this constitutional duty to advise and consent. and for me when this evidence came forward, i decided that i needed to look at this and i needed to find out about it and i needed to ask you questions about it as well as others that were involved. so, again, i'm not going to take quite the same approach as my colleagues here and talk about don mcgahn or any of this. why don't you just ask the president. dr. ford can't do this. we clearly haven't been able to do this, but just ask the president to reopen the fbi investigation. >> i think the committee -- you're doing the investigation. i'm here to answer your questions, and i should say one thing, senator klobuchar which is i appreciate our meeting together and i appreciate how you handled the prior hearing and i have a lot of respect for you. >> thank you. all of that aside, here's the thing. you could you actually just get this open so that we can talk to these witnes

go ahead, senator klobuchar. >> thank you very much. mr. chairman. a few points here. number one, justice sotomayor never worked in the white house and none of these issues of executive privilege or other things that we've been discussing are relevant. number two, while i appreciate you granting my request, mr. chairman, on these campaign finance documents, this is all they were, this is it. this is how many pages. yet, we have 148,000 documents that we can't talk about publicly. and i will say they are illuminatin illuminating, it shows that the nominee has a limited view of campaign finance reform. in his own words. he says that his views on the first amendment are pure when it comes to this very important issue. now we can talk about that more in the future. but i do have a question. and that is yes, i asked for these documents, but i've also joined several letters led by senator feinstein asking that all the documents that we have in the committee be made public so that we can ask questions. and then finally on my initial point that i'm so focused on, the 102,000 p

obviously that was klobuchar from minnesota prior to durbin of illinois. but, mimi, what do you make of both of those moments? he had to apologize to the senator for asking -- for answering a question with a question and casting aspersions. and then durbin was left without an answer there. >> well, the first one with klobuchar was not him asking a question. it was him getting so defensive about the question she had asked. >> which was part of today's discussion. >> it was. others have said this, but i'll say it again. it is clear he is lying about the degree to which he did drink and frankly probably the degree to which he drinks now. whether or not he drinks alcohol isn't the central issue of whether he should be a judge, but whether he's lying about it is. and it goes to the truth of the main issue here, which is did you sexually assault dr. ford. and if he was so drunk that he couldn't remember it or couldn't control it, or, you know, just doesn't want to admit all of that, that goes to that central issue. and there is no doubt in my mind in that answer

his questioning klobuchar. i think one other senator, maybe coons, about what they like to drink. those are clear signs he's evading answers. and lying. his pushing back and interrupting and being rude to senators. his questioning klobuchar. and i think one other senator, maybe coons, about what they like to drink. those are clear signs he's evading answers. and lying. >> all right. jill wine-banks and kristine -- thank you both for being with us. >>> how is dr. ford doing one day after her testimony on capitol hill. two of her family members join me next. y members join me next. sooner or later, we all sign up for medicare. and like my dad, you might want medicare supplement insurance, too. uh oh, more research. no big thing. not with this website. unitedhealthcare insurance company created aarpmedicaresupplement.com to give you answers about aarp medicare supplement insurance plans insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like how this type of plan, also called a medigap plan, helps pay for some of what

. >>> joining us now, senator amy klobuchar. tonight. >> thank you, rachel. >> i have a couple things i want to ask you about. i want to talk about the now seemingly founderring, potentially founderring nomination of brett kavanaugh at the supreme court. before i talk to you about that, though, i also want to talk about this sort of national fire drill we had this morning when it appeared for an hour or so that the president was about to fire deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. it was sort of a wild ride in the news this morning, but i wanted to get your impressions about what happened there and your reaction to that. >> this was truly everyone's worst fear. we have this ongoing, important investigation based on our national security concerns with a man, rod rosenstein, who has been a u.s. attorney under both republican and democratic presidents, number two in the justice department, only recently announced indictments coming out of that investigation of 12 members of the russian intelligence gru involving hacking into state

. >> reporter: kavanaugh got especially riprickly from questioning under minneso senator amy klobuchar you'. >> you're saying there's never been a case where you drank so much that you didn't remember what happened the night before. >> you're asking about blackout. i don't know. have you? >> could you answer the question, judge? i just -- so -- that's not happened? is that your answer? >> yeah, and i'm curious if you have. >> i have no drinking problem, judge. >> nor do i. >> okay. thank you. >> we're taking a break now. >> reporter: after a quick recess, kavanaugh returned and immediately apologized. >> just going to say i started my last colloquy by saying to senator klobuchar how much i respect her and respected what she did at the last hearing and she asked me a question at the end and i responded by asking her a question and i'm sorry i did that. this is a tough process. i'm sorry about that. >> i appreciate that. >> reporter: republicans had opted to let prosecutor rachel mitchell do the questioning. >> have you ever engaged in sexual behavior with dr. ford, even if it was con se

the only one that did was klobuchar. yet they're still complaining about not having access to the documents. >> in fact, at one point, senator leahy had to concede that actually brett kavanaugh had not sent the e-mails. he wasn't on the one e-mail he was looking at. it was a clever ploy to try to get back around to the complaint that there are not enough documents but i don't think it made the sale. brett kavanaugh, he's been extremely compelling as my colleagues have said. they haven't laid a glove on him and it has separated the true legal scholars of america who understand our constitution from those of us that watch legal dramas on tv and think we know what we're talking about. the judge is getting a kick out of that one. really is amazing. when he quotes from the federalist papers, like almost a bingo game here for which one he's going to come up with next. what the democrats, one of the things they're doing, the democrats so far and you're right, stay tuned because there will be a lot of fireworks with the next you

and senator klobuchar had some questions for him on drinking. take a listen to this. >> so you're saying there's never been a case where you drank so much that you didn't remember what happened the night before, or part of what happened? >> you're asking about blackout. i don't know, have you? >> could you answer the question, judge? just so you -- that's not happened? is that your answer? >> yeah, and i'm curious if you have. >> i have no drinking problem, judge. >> nor do i. >> what did you think about that? >> pretty unprecedented. there were quite a few moments in today's hearing that were jaw dropping. frankly, my colleague lindsey graham launched into an angry -- at one point that was unprecedented in my eight years here in the senate. and i thought the opening moments of judge kavanaugh's very lengthy opening statement where he accused the democrats of a left wing conspiracy fueled by the desire for revenge by the clintons was very offputing. and not a very judicial temperament. that exchange with senator klobuchar was very striking. >> i

. >> senator klobuchar. >> thank you, mr. chairman. judge, we're talking here about decency, and you understand we have this constitutional duty to advise and consent. and for me when this evidence came forward, i decided that i needed to look at this and i needed to find out about it and i needed to ask you questions about it, as well as others that were involved. so, again, i'm not going to take quite the same approach as my colleagues here and talk about don mcgahn or any of this. why don't you just ask the president, mrs. -- dr. ford can't to this. we clearly haven't been able to do this, but just ask the president to re-open the fbi investigation. >> i think the committee is -- you're doing the investigation. i'm here to answer your questions and i should say one thing, senator klobuchar, which is i appreciate our meeting together and i appreciate how you handled the prior hearing and i have a lot of respect for you. >> well, thank you. all of that aside, here's the thing, you could actually just get this open so that we can talk

we hosted an event back in june which we had senator klobuchar speaking about this problem. had the ceo of "the new york times," the ceo of news corp. and the head of the antitrust division of the department of justice all speaking about this problem. so, it is not something we made up, but we have taken something of a lead in trying to shine a light on the problem. >> so what would facebook and amazon et cetera look like if they were broken up in what would be one way of doing not? >> guest: a facebook is relatively easy. they spoke thus far has not done much vertical integration. the purchase what's up, instagram, one thing that could solve some of the problems with facebook is to break those networks off so we have more competition. with google, while we have is a more complicated third of nested monopolies. otherwise it's all tied together. they have very powerful position in search. an e-mail. they have a very powerful position with android here to very powerful position with mapping and they sort of tie all these systems together so that they reinforce each other. sepa

chairman. >> senator klobuchar. >> mr.airman, there are other senators as well who may be interested in this negotiation on the republican side, and there's not really a set agreement here. all of us had already said we were voting no. it is simply senator flake working with all of us to say for the good of the senate and the good of the court, the american people deserve to have the facts followed up on. and i really appreciate his willingness to do that. and that is what this is about. this is simply about -- and, by the way, if senator mcconnell wants to go forward in light of that and we still have several senators that haven't said how they're voting on this nominee, i actually think this is very important what just happened right now. so it doesn't have to have an agreement. it is one senator who is standing up. >> senator. >> mr. chairman, i just want to express my appreciation to senator florida for allowing this process to move forward. there's some difference of opinion among us as to what exactly the fbi investi

senator klobuchar. >> thank you. before i begin, i wanted to respond to just a few things. none of that takes away from the fact that 42,000 documents were dumped on us last night and i don't think anyone would go to trial and allow a trial to go forward or allow a case to go forward if one side got 4,000 documents the night before and the other side -- and you can't simply review them as pointed out by senator whitehouse. you'd have to review 7,000 documents every hour. that happened last night. >> let me respond without taking time away from you. >> thank you. >> democrats got exactly the same amount of money we did to do the work, the massive amount of work we had to do. and we got it done at 11:00 last night. >> the point is that no one could prepare and review 42,000 documents in one evening. we know that. no matter how much coffee you drink. and the second point is it is true that executive privilege has never been used before to block the release of records to the senate during a confirmation hearing. so i will begin my opening statement but those are two points i do

with senator klobuchar, even more telling him.hing right at the heart of the matter -- >> have you ever gotten blackout drunk? >> and honestly saying he may not remember when he assaulted dr. ford. that was at the heart of the matter. instead of answering honestly, he attacked her. and he knows he cannot handle the truth. >> can i say -- >> sometimes in the national media, if you're accused of running a gang rape ring and you're innocent of doing that, it might tick you off. >> right. everyone stick around. we've got more. brett kavanaugh's future comes down to these four senators. why their votes are the deciding factors. we're going to go into who they are and how they might vote. stay with us. what?! -welcome. -[ gasps ] a bigger room?! -how many of you use car insurance? -oh. -well, what if i showed you this? -[ laughing ] ho-ho-ho! -wow. -it's a computer. -we compare rates to help you get the price and coverage that's right for you. -that's amazing! the only thing that would make this better is if my mom were here. what?! an

so a.b., we heard what senator klobuchar had to say. it's not normal to withhold these documents.would bring up interesting questions. chuck schumer went beyond that, calling that a friday night document massacre. is it going to make any difference what might be in those documents? do we have any idea? >> well, the democrats are going to argue that in previous nominations, like justice roberts and elaiena keegan who also worked in white houses for presidents, there's much more disclosure and then republicans will argue that kavanaugh was in a different position, and he's likely to be able to claim more, rightly claim more privilege. there is a problem though, and that's what the reporter mentioned, which is in turning them over, the bush lawyers recommended fuller disclosure and the trump administration decided to keep them. the 270,000 documents that were turned over are -- a lot of it includes really nonsubstantive things like schedules. so it's sort of a dumb talking point to give to the democrats to allow them to make that the headline of these hearings. it seems like that's s

. >> senator klobuchar? >> thank you, mr. chairman, judge. we have this constitutional duty to advise and consent, and for me when this evidence came forward, i decided that i needed to look at this, and i needed to find out about it, and i needed to ask you questions about it as well as others that were involved. so, again, i'm not going to take quite the same approach as my colleagues here and talk about don mcghan or any of this, why don't you just ask the president. dr. ford can't do this, we clearly haven't been able to do this, but just ask the president to reopen the fbi investigation. >> i think the committee -- you're doing the investigation, i'm here to answer your questions, and i should say one thing, senator klobuchar, which is, i appreciate our meeting together, and i appreciate how you handled the prior hearing, and i have a lot of respect for you. >> thank you. all of that aside, here's the thing, you could actually just get this open so that we can talk to these witnesses and the fbi can do it instead of us, and you've come b

senator chobe -- senator klobuchar: there may be -- there is not a set agreement. all of us already said we were voting no. it is simply senator flake working with all of us to say for the good of the senate and the good of the court, the american people deserve to have the facts followed up on. i really appreciate his willingness to do that. and that is what this is about. this is simply about -- and by the way, if senator mcconnell wants to go forward in light of that and we still have several senators that haven't said how they're voting on this nominee, i actually think this is very important what just happened right now. so it doesn't have to have an agreement. it is one senator who's standing up. senator grassley: senator cornyn. senator cornyn: i want to express my appreciation for senator flake for allowing this process to move forward. there are some differences of opinion what exactly the f.b.i. investigation would consist of. some of us think the -- it has been concluded and supplemented by this committee's investigation. others disagree with that, but i

federalist 47, when senator klobuchar mentioned yesterday, the cumulation of all power in one body is the very definition of tyranny. i start my separation of powers class every year with that exact quote that you read yesterday, senator klobuchar, because that's very important. 51, if men were angels, we wouldn't need government. so sorry, i've got eight kids. >> it's brilliant and i think that's a greatest hits list. if these were on spotify, i'd say you put together a list of those. let's close in the minute and a half i've got left, i gave myself an additional 30 seconds because of the two interruptions there. tell me how you were informed by federalist 51 and how that relates to your roll as a jurist now on the d.c. circuit, the role that you would play if you remember confirmed to the united states supreme court. this understanding that government is an exercise in understanding human nature. if we were angels, we wouldn't need government. if we had access to angels to govern over us, we wouldn't need all these rules, these cumbersome rules that make government so inefficient an

there is only one democratic senator asked for access to that, senator klobuchar got it. if you are interested in it, you could have been asking ever since august 25th, i believe. >> we've been asking to have those made public. i'm not as interested if i see this in a closed room where i can't talk about it. i want judge kavanaugh to see the e-mails which came from mr. miranda and -- >> give us citation of the documents and we'll get them for you. >> that testimony up there is true. 100%. >> can somebody read it? >> of course it would be helpful if we allowed the national archives time to complete their review. >> but i want to reassure you because you are asking important yes questions, what you have up on the board is 100% accurate. >> can somebody move it so we can see it here? >> i am concerned because there is evidence that mr. miranda provided you with materials that were stolen from me. and that would contradict your prior testimony. it is also clear from public e-mails that you have reason to believe materials were obtained inappropriately at the time. now, mr. ch
