through the white house. and so mrs. bush had made sure that any of the resident staff that were still working in the white house, that had been there in the johnson time, were there to greet mrs. johnson at the diplomatic reception room door when she stepped in. and in addition, one of the butlers who had worked for the johnsons, mr. german, was now a part-time elevator operator that operated the president's elevator in the white house just a few days a he can would, mrs. bush made sure he was there, and he was the one who greeted mrs. johnson when the door was opened of the car for her to get out. and the way that mrs. johnson reached up in recognition to embrace mr. german and how he embraced her would really make you weep, but would also, the two last things that i'll just say about mrs. johnson's visit, her last vitsit to the white house, is mrs. bush wheeled here into the room on the ground floor which had just been repainted under one of the restoration projects that mrs. bush did, thanks to the white house histo

maybe mr. white can answer. >> pam sims. i'm a senior development specialist in house working on the c.o.p. program in marketing. actually, we work with the mayor's office of housing and community development and together they manage the program for us and yes, we together have a list of the c.o.p. holders. >> do you know the number we have? >> approximately 900 households. >> [indiscernible] >> it comes and goes because people get housed. >> yeah. we're reporting one to four parking are four units one parking? where do people park the car? >> what was the last thing you said? >> where would everybody else park their cars? >> yeah. >> the podium has a ratio of one to four. they'd be in the underground parking. the v.m.r.s within the tower will have the same parking ratio as the market rate. >> where do we expect the other cars to be? >> deputy director o.c.i.i. parking ratios are a tricky thing to balance because you have both the parking need for residents as well as the limited space we have but particularly in the dense u

mr. szoka: i just want to be clear for listeners regarding to 30. it was a republican bill written by chris coxe -- peter: enron white. mr. szoka: he was the -- peter: and ron white. mr. szoka: he was a cosponsor. chris coxe was the intellectual godfather. if you did not have section 230, you would be in a situation which is still the case in canada which still follows the common law, where you are only immune to liability as a third you are sticking your head in the sand. the reason the platforms floor states, isd because section 230 protects them not only for being liable for third-party content unless they share in authoring it, but also they are immune for exercising editorial discretion to moderate content for whatever reason. as long as they do so in good faith. and that good faith exception has been construed extremely narrowly by the courts to mean you cannot engage in anti-competitive content and then claim to 30. they will not second guess the decisions you make in moderating your content. peter: we are almost out of time. i want to get into the potential regulation issue that you raise. anothermark warner and fr

mr. white>> no. 10 yays, 11 nay. >> we set the vote to report out judge kavanaugh's nomination as 1:30 p.m. today. >> mr. chairman, point of order. mr. chairman. point of order. >> you're violating the rules of the committee. >> mr. lee. >> nay. >> mr. cruz. >> nay. >> mr. sasse. -- >> and it continues. mrs. feinstein no. >> okay. what we're watching right now is a denial by the senators on the judiciary committee. there's a question to see if perhaps there could be a subpoena put out for mark judge, one of the witnesses. >> yes. . but dr. ford claims was in the room when the attack happened. >> and so senator grassley and many oefz republicans decided not to allow that. and now they are trying to vote to see if they're going to have a vote for judge kavanaugh, which they said would happen at 1:30 eastern. we will continue to watch this. you can see this live on our >>> welcome back at 6:50 this morning. we are stim monitoring the senate judiciary committee hearing happening right now in washin

bush, so lots of expertise to tap into with you, mr. white.ou happen to know what's in the latest letter that kim jong un is having hand delivered to president trump and if you haven't gotten any leads on actual content, based on your expertise, what would you surmise is in the letter? >> i haven't seen the specifics. i think it's probably a warm note, a positive note, just judging from the u.s. reaction and south korean reaction which has been fairly pos tip. i don'testify.i don't think it'. i don't think it's threatening. my guess it's an attempt by kim to redirect and create some momentum going forward and get past some of the hurdles that exist in talks. arthel: meanwhile, we've got this parade we're talking about without icbms, everything is choreographed and deliberate. the head of the chinese parliament present. what's the message? >> arthel, i think the main message is communists love pageants. we're down to what used to be called kremlinology in the soviet days when you would say this person is two individuals away from the general se

next, christopher white discusses the confusion in the wheatfield, describing it as a turning point in the battle. the heritage center posted this one hour talk. >> our next presenter is mr. kristopher white. he has a master of arts in military history. he is a graduate of california university of pennsylvania with a bachelors of arts in history. he serves as the education manager of the american battlefield trust and some of his past experience includes five years as a staff military historian at fredericksburg and spotsylvania. he has been a historian for the recreation board and a continuing educator of allegheny county near pittsburgh. he is one of the cofounders of this book series, emerging civil --, as well as turningc is gettysburg point, the wheatfield.

white house. that is my question. >> mr. chairman, i'd like to bring you to the attention of the chair -- >> i believe i have the floor. >> senator cornyn. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for recognizing me. i haven't been in as many confirmation hearings as some of my colleagues, but this is the first confirmation hearing for a supreme court justice i've seen basically according to mob rule. we have rules in the senate, we have norms for decorum. everybody as you pointed out, mr. chairman, is going to get a chance to have their say. you've given everybody a chance to ask questions for up to 50 minutes. you've given them a chance to make an opening statement. any one of our colleagues can step out here and talk to the press and make whatever comments they want to the press and tell the world how they feel about this. but the fact is it's hard to take it seriously when every single one of our colleagues in the senate judiciary committee on the democratic side have announced their opposition to this nominee. even before today's he

had not had time to review tens of thousands of documents from kavanaugh's time at the bush white house. >> mr. chairman, we have been denied real access to the documents we need to advise -- >> mr. chairman, regular order is called for. >> -- which turns this hearing into a charade and a mockery of our norms. >> well -- >> and mr. chairman, i therefore move to adjourn this hearing. >> kavanaugh's views on reproductive rights and environmental protection have been under the microscope since the moment he was nominated, but one senator on the judiciary committee, senator ben sasse says opponents' hysteria has nothing to do with kavanaugh and everything to do with congress, tweeting this -- "judge kavanaugh doesn't hate women and children. judge kavanaugh doesn't lust after dirty water and stinky air. no, looking at his record, it seems to me that what he actually dislikes are legislators that are too lazy and risk-averse to do our actual jobs." >>> all right, ten minutes after the hour. time for an "early start" on your money. high-level players from facebook and twitter face congress today. th

does anyone really believe this is a magically happened since that exciting day when mr trump entered the whitethink so. is an argument about that. which you will have to revisit at some other time. thank you both. that's it for the papers this hour. i'll be back with ros altmann and david davies at 11:30. it's been a busy couple of days here and the weather centre, two storms in today's and the second one is still winding itself up to bring southern areas and even windier weather than yesterday. the rain across the west at least will start to ease, this is the storm developing quite quickly and we have still got the windiest weather to come in southern and eastern areas of england, and here also properly some of the wettest weather but it's been miserable across northern india, parts of ireland and wales and the southwest of england, the rain has hardly moved the last ten to 12 hours, now it will continue to progress slowly eastward so we will see that rain really tends to rain driving across east anglia and the southeast by the time we get into the early hours of friday and at the same time i

mrs. reagan, this is beautiful. i do agree. and remember, i was the only pastry man at the white house those days. and i would have to make 15, 16 of those and it's sunday noon. so i told mrs. reagan, i said, madame, this is madame, it's only two days left before the dinner. here comes the challenge. roland, correction, you have two days and two nights. you know, i still have the chill in my back today, right now as we speak, and i said, yes, madame, thank you very much. and i went back to my kitchen and start cooking sugar. for some of you who don't know what a sugar basket is, it's all made of sugar. we weave it like a basket and all. you can -- in my book "dessert university," there is a sketch that shows you how to make sugar basket. and then you have to make four tulip basket, so times 15. you can count how many sugar tulip that is. plus, i have to make cookies and many, many other things. the rest of the business don't stop, because of that. so she said, i have two days and two nights. now, ladies and gentlemen, here is when you know proud is. because, of course, it did happen and happened we

little people did the white stuff. mr shit out there. ya see this hosing incident. i would have to be almost foreseen. then a mafia how me to jump off your muscle. move it up the cheek for the. girls at school for. most of us who need to feel like we're too sad that it is i mean it would. mean the muscle said that it took us into other to fulfill the will so. yeah i do believe this to say i'll move. you know yes but i think a lot if there were a few to move us there are just. a shade not kidding when you come to our goal more money against your job read it right and don't challenge to the skills again tomorrow if you're not doing anything at all and around the world without telling you that. being based of elicit his is. on the same treatise and you will see people. reading some of them. without. me to the. us what. to think of is up i that's promote i want to change thing just because you must how did you start. this with him was because in truth was unless he was forced into place then you guys also from a large event you. think told us gene does this guy these ar

to move forward when the governments are not cooperating is this is the message that the the white house and mr bolton is trying to make is that we are not going to let you investigate our conduct the u.s. obviously has failed to provide justice to our clients we're talking about people who were tortured by the cia people who were held and tortured by the u.s. military they were not tortured by individuals acting on their own they were acting on behalf of the u.s. government it was a policy of the united states at the highest level of the bush administration that ordered the use of torture as a matter of a policy that is why the i.c.c. prosecutor said last year in november of two thousand and seventeen when when she asked to authorize a full investigation that the reason that she has to make this this move is because the u.s. failed to provide justice to provide credible thorough investigations that would provide the victims some of them are still waiting for justice years on end and still waiting for for that moment where they can see that the people who perpetrated torture against them are he

whow whow thank you, -- mr. white house: thank you, mr. president. i'm here for my customary time to wake up speech, but before i get into it, i just want to express my satisfaction with the turn of events in the judiciary committee as the presiding officer may know yesterday was a rather bitter day in the judiciary committee with a lot of anger and tribal belligerence and a nominee who was full of partisanship and conspiracy theory. it really was not a good day. but this is a funny place, and sometimes right after we've been at our worst something breaks that turns things in the right direction, and something happened in the judiciary committee today much due to the concerns and the fortitude of senator flake, so i want to give him primary credit. but i understand that the republican leadership has agreed that there will be a week-long delay in the kavanaugh vote on the floor and that the f.b.i. will be given a chance to do its job and take a look at the allegations that are out there about his conduct. that's not only a good thing for the senate be

white house. it details allegedly disparaging remark by some of mr. trump's senior advisers and there are concerns about mr. trump's behavior. late yesterday on twitter the president denied one claim that he called attorney general jeff sessions mentally retarded and a dumb southerner. david martin has more. >> reporter: white house chief of staff john kelly said of president trump, he's an idiot. it's pointless to try to convince him of anything. he's gone off the rails. we're in crazy town. defense secretary james mattis told close associates his commander in chief acted like and had the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader. kelly and mattis denied the comments, but the book is filled with derogatory descriptions of the president by senior advisers. woodward's devastating account is called "fear: trump in the white house." it hasn't been published yet, but the white house said it's nothing more than fabricated stories told to make the president look bad. woodward tried but was not granted an interview with the president. in a brief phone convers

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 they are 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. and we can talk about that more in the future. but i do have a question and that is that, 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 finally, on my initial point that i'm so focused on, the 102,000 pages of documents from judge kavanaugh's work in the white house counsel, i would like to know, mr. chairman, if you have another example of a

mr. vice president. so chief hayes-white, will you continue on with the deputy chief of administration's report. >> commissioner hayes-white: certainly, and just to give a brief response to vice president nakajo, no problem with providing that information. it should be noted that your colleague, commissioner alioto veronese just requested the last few academies, a breakdown. i'm going to shift that because as you noted, there are certain reporting requirements as it's related to race and ethnicity under the law, and she has all of that down better than i do, so we should be able to provide both of you with the information that you're requesting. should not be a problem. so onto the operations report, this is for the period august 1 through the 31. you have in front of you chief gonzales's lengthy report that captures that month. i'll give you some of the highlights. the pictures, i know you like, include some community events, the district ten safety fair, some strike team photos, and also some i.m.t., incident management tr

mr. rosenstein expected at the white house.utting up shop and that is where we find ourselves. vonnie: we are going to continue to keep an eye on that. let us have a quick look at where u.s. markets are trading. did not see a reaction to the rosenstein news. the dollar is a little softer. it had a few soft sections -- sessions last week. are back down partially thanks to the sterling and the euro. that is the yield curve now. we have the conference coming up with the fomc tomorrow. are back down partially in the u.s., wtirling andcrudee trading close to $73 a barrel. $81. trades close to the commodity index is rebounding and i will show you why. macro movers, commodities such as sugar are having a down day even as hydrocarbons are higher. does not seem to be much forward momentum on the trade front. guy mentioned other stories. dollar down a little as oil rallies where it -- rallies. this is "bloomberg." ♪ guy: this is the european close. italian sovereign yields were climbing as investors not convinced the government will stic

and james vanderbilt, writer, director, producer, and screen writer, and producer of "white house down." [ applause ] mr. rubinstein, the stage is yours. >> so mack, let's start with you. you've been chief of staff at the white house, so when you see all these movies or tv shows that portray the chief of staff of the white house, do they make him handsome enough do you think? [ laughter ] >> some are too tall and too handsome. >> but when you look at them on tv, when you watch various shows, do you think they are reasonably accurate in the way they portray what goes on in the white house or too dramatic? >> david, i think largely it does capture the white house, the ups and downs, the challenges, the fast pace. it is obviously traumatized. i always wished we had a script like "west wing," that would have helped. >> you served as social secretary and as head of protocol. as you heard earlier, "house of cards" adviser. so when they're doing "house of cards," did they call you up and say is this possible, is this accurate? how much input do you have and why are they concerned with accuracy, who cares if it

i would like for you to bring up mr. white statement yesterday, to the audience, and let them hear what he said. host: tell us, remind us what he said, for those who are not watching. caller: he made it clear that most of judge kavanaugh's 5-4sions ended in a decision. host: the point being? caller: he was the deciding factor in making everything that was important to most people a 5-4 decision. host: okk. dan, youngstown, ohio. republican. caller: i can remember when chuck schumer stood before the senate during confirmation hearings for democratic candidates. and he is a candidates should be judged only on their qualifications, not on politics. i want to make the point, there are a couple of supreme court justices who were nominated by more than 90 votes. that was not because the republicans all agreed with the politics of kagan for example, it is because they went along with what jack -- with what chuck schumer said, that qualifications are important and we should not play politics. when the shoe is on the other foot, he is

white house. that is my question. >> mr. chairman, i'd like to bring you the attention of the chair -- >> i believe i had the floor. >> senator corbin. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for recognizing me. >> i haven't been in as many confirmation hearings as some of my colleagues, but this is the first supreme court justice nominee i've seen courting the bob rule. we have norms for decorum. everybody, as you pointed out, is going to get a chance to have their say. >> yeah. >> you've given everybody a chance to ask questions for up to 50 minutes. you've given them a chance to make an opening statement. any one of our colleagues can step out and talk to the press and make whatever comments they want to the press, tell the world how they feel about this. the fact is, it is hard to take it seriously when every single one of our colleagues in the senate judiciary committee on the democratic side have announced their opposition to this nominee, even before today's hearing. it is hard to take seriously their claim that, somehow, they ca

. >> mr. white house. >> mr. blumenthal. >> mr. booker. >> mr. harris. >> mr.eated. now as i said, we set the vote for at 1:30 p.m. today. >> mr. chairman, point of order. >> mr. chairman, point of order. >> stop violating the rules of the committee. >> mr. flake. >> it continues. >> mr. kennedy. >> ms. feinstein. >> it violates this committee. it violates it. >> mr. blumenthal. >> no. >> ms. hirono. >> i object. the answer is no, no. >> mr. booker. >> ms. harris. >> they are not answering because this is so unfair, mr. chairman. >> follow the rules and customs. >> mr. chairman, the votes are 11 11 -- we have an agenda with ten judges who are ready to be vote. nominated the eighth circuit and a district court judges. we also have two bills on the agenda. we will hold over as 31-78. the justice for victims of lynching asked, we will vote on s2785, sponsored by senators durbin and grandma. of this bill combats offensive election interference by foreign adversaries by denying entry to any foreign national who has been deemed it to engage election interference. the

white house. >> push, push, push. if mr. n't relent, they have decisions to make. whether or not they will just not follow that direction and be fired or to resign. they have an obligation. they took an oath of office to the constitution from the united states and not to mr. trump. >> shannon: the panel here to discuss. leslie marshall, and larry o'connor. welcome to you both. the message is resist? >> well, i don't agree with him 100%. i agree is national security can be affected they do have to. they took an oath to the constitution and the people of the united states and the security of the united states. is this for political gain? a lot of people entered -- inside the intelligence community echo this. they need the time to investigate declassifying these materials. >> shannon: he said a number of people are trying to protect the president and using their power within congress and the executive branch. he said this is reckless and could give information to our foreign adversaries. >> john brennan says contempible things.

they pass along information to the white house on mr. kavanaugh. f the white house wants more information, all they have to do is ask. it is literally that simple. they ask the fbi to do more interviews, to collect more information, to do an investigation and the fbi does it. so the president, brian, in a shocking development, is wrong. >> matt, the president doesn't want the fbi involved here. he would very much like the fbi to reveal formerly confidential communications that could reveal sources and methods, conceivably. >> yeah, it's a bit ironic after a year and a half the president making repeated inappropriate demands of the fbi, one thing he won't ask them to do is investigate allegations of sexual assault. at the same time as you point out, he's taing this step using the powers of the presidency to advance his personal interests. what he's doing with declassifying this information. you have to go back to the fact that this fisa application into carter page has already gone through declassification review, and the national security profession

has attacked the president in a new york times article and suggested white house workers are resisting him. the anonymous author said mr trump is facing a test unlike any experienced by a modern american leader. president trump responded saying the editorial was gutless. our washington correspondent chris buckler reports. each day seems to bring new claims

mr. kavanaugh. at the white, the president did not seem entirely sure wd.t had just happe president trump: i'm going to let the senate handle that. hethey will make t decisions. they have been doing a good job, very professional. >>ie back in congress, awere offering to explain. >> some but got to play mr. trump. i guess that will be my j --ot somebody has go explain this to mr. trump. i guess that will be my job. >> delay is what the republicans were desperate to avoid but it looks like what they have got. hill, thisitol depicts grief in mourning. it has been a painful week for a bitterly disunited states -- united states. anchor: a brief time ago, i spoke with our north america rerter. anthony, anga inveson called for by senator flake. we now have an update on the innvstigation. >>tigation granted. the president just statement saying he was instructing the fbi toth reopen investigation into brett kavanaugh's background under the limits the senate judiciary committee requested. the judiciary committee said at m

mr. speaker, the white house proposed list of new tariffs includes head air hats and headgear. mr. higgins: a 25% tariff on these products were imposed, the largest head wear company in the united states and based in my district, would be hurt. based in buffalo, new err wra employs 800 people in 19 states. they supply official head wear for the national football league, the national basketball association, and major league baseball. r. president, you can't tariff your way your way to economic growth. a tariff is a tax leff have ied by a government no imported goods by placing taxes on foreign component parts. these products become more expensive for american consumers. the imposition of these tariffs are a a race to the bottom and will result in higher product cost force all americans. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, today i want to take a moment

out where things stand between the us and china and even whether they stand within members of mr trump's whited see that there were sort of gestures that talks renewing talks between washington and china, that was kind of called into question, because president trump said the us wasn't willing to back down when it comes to rectifying what he says is an unfairtrade relationship with china, so it is unclear where the talks stand at the moment now. the imposition of this list, it has been something we have expecting for some time now, so it won't catch the chinese authorities off guard but it will make the negotiating harder. time magazine is changing hands again, at the start of the year you might remember it was sold to a us media group, now it is being bought by the co—founder of sales force.com for $1790 million. what was it that meant that meredith didn't want to hold on to it? you know it has been a kind of awkward member of the meredith family, meredith is best known for lifestyle magazines like best moments and gardens time is a news magazine. when they bought the magazine brands under it

they pass along information to the white house on mr. kavanaugh, and if the white house wants more information, all they have to do is ask. >> two more things here, both on social media, one of them from steve schmidt who wrote this tonight. riddle me this. if someone is lying, dr. ford, and they know that lying to the fbi is a crime, why would they be asking for an fbi investigation? if a sitting federal judge is accused of something he denies with his reputation at stake, why wouldn't he demand one? and then finally, stephen dennis over at bloomberg news. if both kavanaugh and ford testify under oath monday and tell opposite stories, one would be committing the federal crime of lying to congress. would there be precedent for the fbi to then investigate? mimi, this is why we have you here. answers to any of these? >> well, absolutely there would be an investigation then or should be about whether one of them is lying. but again, you can't really get at that answer without going beyond the two people. the republicans are trying -- by tryi
