mr. kavanaugh in his freshman year that echos ms. ramirez's allegation. a classmate, max steer, saw mr. kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student. mr. steer, who runs a nonprofit organization in washington, notified senators and the fbi about this account, but the fbi did not investigate and mr. steer has declined to discuss it publicly. we have corroborated with two officials. nbc news has confirmed that members of the judiciary committee were aware of max steer's allegations at the time of the confirmation process. the new book makes one more important point about that story. the book gives the name of the woman involved in that story and then specimenifies that she, quote, has also refused to discuss the incident though several of her friends said she does not recall it. the "times" later on sunday added that line to the end of the paragraph about max satire's accusation. that line reads, the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the end. leading off our discu

mr. kavanaugh onto the supreme court?only when he had a drinking problem when he was younger which led to these sexually assaults. i didn't think he was qualified because i thought he does not have the temperament based on his behavior in the hearing. i disagreed with him about you know he's fundamentally and here is something that goes by the arc of is life, he's sort of a bully for people on the wrong side of the track. the women he abused were women he got drunk he thought he could take advantage of because they were not as big and powerful as he was. and then if you read his opinions, particularly this one about the little girl in texas who needed an abortion, there is a disdain in his writing voice for people who are less affluent and really lucky in life as he has been. and that's why i thought he was not qualified. i don't know about the baseball ticket. i was overwhelmingly convinced that he did not belong as a justice of the supreme court. he's obviously a brilliant guy. no one had a god giving right to sit on th

mr. kavanaugh with his pants down at a drunken dorm party," where friends pushed his genitals onto a female student. his claim never investigated by the fbi. the shocking story strikingly similar to an allegation made by another yale classmate, deborah ramirez, at the height of kavanaugh's confirmation battle. ramirez alleged kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a different party when they were both drunk, and when she shoved him away, she says she was touched without her consent. kavanaugh flatly denying that and all allegations of sexual misconduct. >> none of the witnesses in the room support that. the -- if that had happened, e been the talk of campus. >> reporter: kavanaugh is not commenting on this latest charge, but his defenders call it a political smear and point out that "the times" article, adapted from a new book out this week, originally omitted a key fact which editors later added. the book says that the female student stier described, quote, "refused to discuss the incident" and "several of her friends said she does not recall it." >> they've just announced there's a correctio

mr. kavanaugh with his pants down at a drunken dorm party where friends pushed his genitals on to a femalent. >> trevor: goddam! every college story we hear aboutbeck makes him seem worse and worse. it's always something about him exposing himself. he's lucky that mike pence horse wasn't around during his college career because you see what they do to carrots, y'all! ( laughter ) and you know, when you hear stories like this, it's hard to believe someone like that could ever go on to the supreme court. it must be even harder for people who actually went to school with kavanaugh. can you remember their conversations? whatever happened to balls-out brett? actually, it's justice balls-out brett now. ( laughter ) now, here's the thing, this story is messy and what makes it messy is that the woman who this allegedly happened to says she doesn't remember any of this happening, but the guy who says he saw it says she was so drunk at the time he's not surprised that she can't remember it. we may never know for sure what happened that night especially since the f.b.i. never even investigated it, wh

mr. kavanaugh. it's like the old adage about the prosecutors. they would impeach a ham sarnd witch at this point. as long as it's republican or conservative. lou: i think they are far more vile and vicious than all that. this is a concerted attack on the presidency of the united states. at this point the republican party, the republican party and the conferences on the house and the senate sides both ought to be ashamed of their response, their lacking of a response in defense of this president and law and order. >> it's even worse than that's. you have the coup targeting donald trump. they tried to overthrow the senate with intimidation to stop kavanaugh. so they were attacking the institution of the senate. and now the target is the supreme court, threatening impeachment based on more lies and smears. this not one institution under our constitutional republic that is not under assault, a vicious assault by the hard-core left which is taking control of the establishment here in washington. lou: talk quickly -- we are running out of time as alwa

mr. kavanaugh as my attacker outside of therapy. this changed in early july 2018. ing that brett kavanaugh was on the short list of a list of very well-qualified supreme court nominees. i thought it was my civic duty to relay the information i had about mr. kavanaugh's conduct. >> sandra: i remember you sitting here watching that. >> we watched it together and i looked at you and said she is very credible and i looked at you five hours later and said he is very credible with the forceful denial. so one way to look at this is do we care what her motivation was now because it's history? he has this lifetime position on the court and the people that hate will no matter what he does or was there some unlawful behavior like lying or misleading under oath the d.o.j. should be concerned about? why would that come out of the mouth of that woman's lawyer who was her protector and representative? >> bill: terror watch list it violates the constitutional rights on those listed on this. >> this is profound. the f.b.i. has put 1,100,000 names on the terror watch list. you are on

mr trump tweeted that judge kavanaugh should "start suing people.false accusations without recrimination. when does it stop? they are trying to influence his opinions." last year, judge kavanaugh denied accusations of sexual misconduct made against him by two women during his confirmation to the supreme court. the fbi conducted an investigation at the time, but according to the new york times, these latest allegations were not among those investigated. joining me from washington is our correspondent, david willis. david, bring us up to speed on these latest accusations? judge brett kavanaugh latest accusations? judge brett kava naugh was nominated latest accusations? judge brett kavanaugh was nominated to the highest court in the land, the us supreme court, by donald trump in july 2018. it was a highly contested and highly controversial confirmation hearing before the senatejudiciary confirmation hearing before the senate judiciary committee. confirmation hearing before the senatejudiciary committee. you mentioned there in your introduction that two

mr. kavanaugh was a federal judge. two were classmates who learned of it days after the party occurred, suggesting that it was discussed among students at the time. "the new york times" reported on another allegation that kavanaugh exposed himself to a female classmate during his time at jail, and a witness notified senators and the fbi about his account but the fbi did not investigate and mr. stier has declined to talk about it publicly. the times said the female student involved in the claim declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the episode. kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegations from ford and ramirez and had declined to comment on the new allegations. trump has been vigorously defending kavanaugh on social media. meanwhile, six of the democratic presidential candidates have called for kavanaugh's impeachment and trump responded just in the last hour. >> look at what they're doing today to justice kavanaugh. they're calling for his resignation. they're calling for his impeachment. th

mr. kavanaugh during the confirmation process, not as many as have been made against president trump nor contemporaneous, but a significant number of credible allegations asserted. and the senate chose to reject them. and there is really little reason to believe that they would do anything other than that at this time. perhaps a more constructive use of our time frankly would be to pray for the good health of justice ruth bader ginsburg. >> i think a lot of us do that on a daily basis. i do want to pivot and pick up on what former attorney general eric holder has laid out and why he thinks that president trump could face prosecution after he leaves office. here is what he said. >> i don't think there is any question about that. we already have an indictment in the southern district of new york. relative to the payoffs. michael cohen is already in jail with regard to his role there. individual one is the president. and it would seem to me that the next attorney general, next president, is going to have to make a determination. >> you publicly supported impeachment after the mueller hearin

mr. kavanaugh with his stuff, right?chorus of 2020 candidates scrambled to be the first to insist that now they have the goods and he must be impeached. but then the "times" dropped another bombshell updating its reporting with an editor's note explaining the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the incident. that's a very important element to include in this story if you want to make any attempt at telling the whole story here. so, in a moment. authors mollie hemingway and carrie severino who wrote the first book on the kavanaugh hearings but first our chief breaking news correspondent with the back story here trace gallagher. >> martha, let's begin with the man making the allegation. you mentioned his name is matt stier a former yale classmate of brett kavanaugh. the "new york times" article describes stier as someone who, quote: runs a nonprofit organization in washington. the "times" left out that stier worked for president bill clinton's defense team during the white water in

mr. kavanaugh with his pants down at a drunken party where friends pushed his genitals on to a woman.they could verify the story, all i can say is ask brett. brett aka supreme court justice kavanaugh declined to comment. but the book the article was written from said the female student stier described, quote, refused to discuss the incident and several of her friends said she does not recall it. that detail not included originally in "the new york times" article but added in an updated version, leaving the president to tweet they're looking to destroy and influene his opinions, but played the game badly. they should be sued. the allegation is similar to ones made during justice kavanaugh's hearing by another yale classmate, deborah ramirez. in testimony given by dr. christine blasey ford during the confirmation hearing that he held her down and groped her at party when they were in high school. >> i believed he was going to rape me. thinking whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit. >> the fbi at the time of the hearing investigated those two allegati

mr. kavanaugh with his pants down, blah, blah, blah, whom apparently they did not talk to. they notified senators and the fbi by the super but they not investigate. the post corroborated that with two officials who have communicated with this person. your question to me, how would they have known what anyone was thinking if they didn't talk with him? you know, this reporter for the post because it journalistic malpractice. you can call it whatever you want, but what it is is an allergy to the truth. that's a problem. because they can write, i guess, what they want in the book. the editors can deem it to be interesting, and they should do fact-finding. i don't want to through the publisher under the bus because i don't know who that is. we don't have an advance copy of "the education of brett kavanaugh," the name of the book. but we do have access to some of the editors of "the new york times." if they were looking, fact for a fact, what was in the book and what is claimed as fact in the article they wrote, how could they miss the glaring error like this? >> alex: even in th

mr. kavanaugh is a good man. i wish meese democrats would let there trump do his job.e spend so much money investigating and there's nothing to it. it's just a bunch of lies from the democrats. they're nothing but a bunch of trouble. if they don't get this country straightened out, we're going to be doomed. you've got a bunch of idiots up there. host: ok, robert in indiana, your thoughts there. we'll go to spokane, washington, a republican. caller: we're on tv? host: yeah. caller: good morning to you and good morning to the americans as well. i have a question ever since i saw the opening questioning of the selection committee for the supreme court position which kavanaugh is running for. i happened to catch all of kamla harris' questioning of justice kavanaugh, this was a week before the ford letter was released to the pun. -- to the public. kamla harris kept drilling him, do you know or do you have a association with such and such a person at such and such a law office and kavanaugh replied, i don't know. i don't know. that's a very open question. you think about it,

mr. styer or his unnamed friends, and we never received an allegation against kavanaugh like the one referenced in the report over this weekend. after interviewing eight people related to the ramirez allegations, not once was mr. styer's name mentioned. had my staff received substantive allegations or had he approached me or my staff, we would have attempted to take a statement and interview him. but the alleged victim who also didn't speak to these writers apparently does not recall the incident. that's a point that the "new york times" failed to include in its official coverage. now, it happens that accountability is a cornerstone of democracy. i welcome scrutiny of my work. i frequently refer to reporters, journalists as the police of our democratic system. but today i'm reminded of a very old adage, who will watch the watchman? this week's report includes some embarrassing, irresponsible missteps, mistakes that weren't serious self-reflection. a year ago after the interviews with dozens of people, "the new york times" couldn't even corroborate the allegations laid out by miss ramirez and de

kavanaugh. i'm sure it is just a coincidence that mr. dan bongino was on earlier and had some things to say about this latest allegation. >> "the new york times" is a disgrace. this is not a newspaper anymore, okay? let's put that to bed. this is not the paper of record. this is the paper of hot garbage. if you're going to an excerpt from the book, an excerpt may take the part where the alleged victim has no memory of the incident. what is happening to this guy is a distrace in this country. this is embarassment. he has to go to his church, look at fellow members of his church and family while reports are being written about him in the paper. this is a disgrace. katie: it's a disgrace. the facts for a long time have proven otherwise. they're still running with the same story. steve: they're running with the story. the victim does not remember a thing. the guy i referred to who made the accusation won't talk about it. katie: no victim then, if there is no -- steve: apparently their account of his memory is based on what other people say h
