with us today, maura gay, a member of the "new york times" editorial board.h are msnbc contributors. so we have that and we have the sum total of today. you this week wrote a poignant personal piece in the opinion section of the "new york times" about your life experience. what do we do about the entire community of american women who look at a dr. ford, look at a maura gay and say, yes, that story, that's me. >> it is a sad day and difficult for those who are sexually assault survivors. i think there's a time to grieve, but i think there's a real risk here that people become so despairing that they don't participate and count and they don't show up to the polls. my immediate thought was let's not despair and linger in that let's actually organize and channel that into wins at the polling booth. the other thing that i would say is that i have been thinking a lot about my dad and his experience, you know, my father is black and my mother is white. my dad grew up in segregated detroit. he drank from a black only water fountain. when you compare the experience o

maura fogarty joins us from our asia business hub in singapore.ations between these two. well, some factions in the us administration are definitely trying to get these talks back on track. we have reports out in the last few days from various officials in the united states within the white house saying they are pushing and getting a little bit of traction moving forward a little bit on getting these talks on track. the talks they are referring to is a summit between the us president and chinese president at the g20 meeting in argentina at the end of november. if you remember, in august, there was a flurry of meetings between chinese officials and the united states officials. they were supposedly laying the foundation for the summit but then we had more trade tariffs getting kicked in on both sides and that was sort of put on hold. they are hoping if these two men can get in the same room, hopefully they can get a small win and ratchet down tensions a little bit. how they are going to do that, the latest trade numbers coming out of china, you have

in massachusetts, maura healey has filed a lawsuit over this very program. can go to your congressperson, there is an on bosman at the company -- an ombudsman at the company. recently the student loan on ombudsman resigned and the reason he is resigning as there is not much support for that part, and what we have seen is the current presidential administration has been more or less systematically dismantling everything that is helpful to people, so people would complain. you can actually go and read those complaints. they are very horrifying and hard to read in many cases, but i do not know if the cfpd is really helping people anymore. it kind of absorbs the student loan arm of the agency and claims that does not mean it is going to be changing program. i'm not think it will have much of a help. host: you reference a fed loan. tell us what a fat loan is. loan is a risk of the pennsylvania higher wasation agency that created in 1963 to administer state grant. time, it -- over branched out and got into servicing and lending of his own under a different name, a
