next, the committee heard from the former boss at the nda.he failure of this contract? i am the chief executive of the nda for the duration of this contract and i accept full responsibility for the actions during that period. we set out with the intent to do the bestjob we could and we did work hard, but it is clear that didn't go according to plan. it is a shared responsibility and although john is the accounting officer, the principal accounting officer, i have ultimate responsibility. i have two except it was our responsibility to understand the state of the sites and we believe their level of understanding was somewhat better than it was. i accept your candour on this but isn't it extraordinary when you had lots of technical people working for you that you didn't at least have an idea, given the scale of what was discovered during the consolidation process, that he didn't have some idea of the difference between your understanding at the time and what actually proved to be the case? two factors. first of all we have a small organisation w

with taxpayer money. >> and that people who came forward had to sign an nda as part of the process. >hey revealed what happened to them. they were force under to silence. >> so, legislation is now being proposed to change that as well as what you're talking about getting rid of the ndas. it does feel like things are changing. >> i hope so. >> thank you for sharing your reporting with us. chris? >>> all right. a lot going on today. here's a look at what to watch for. >> i'd do anything to catch your daughter's killer. i don't think those billboards is very fair. >> "rolling stone" raves. >> to solve actual crime. >> what is the matter with you saying that stuff on tv. >> four stars. >> you go, girl. >> this time you're not losing. >> in a renegade master piece that will get you good. rated r. >>> meanwhile, a big declaration by the united states government of the treatment of in miranmar. now ethnic cleansing, will that make a difference somehow. >>> and a former gang member is on a crusade to stop violence on the very streets that he, himself, terrorized as a teen. sanjay gupta has hi

right now, folks can write off their nda disclosures for sexual harassment cases. so all of this, i think, is part of a broader national conversation that has impacted every single sector outside of politics, inside of politics, and these are the conversations that are being had. >> the narratives keep on growing in number and great detail. and to you, eugene, on this, i want to go back to alabama for a second. as we look at some of the groups that will be key. one might also say that becoming more overlapping or more complex. when you look at the divide, there's not only the issue of millennial voters, there's the issue of single women and how they're voting as well as suburban women, and how they're voting. there's also a quarter of the population african american, and how they will vote and whether we will see the same sort of energy that came through in 2008 for president obama in that space. >> absolutely. but we need to be cautious in looking at these approval polls to determine how people will perform in the end. a week before president donald trump was vote

an allegation oftentimes and if the person who's been accused in the misdeed will tie them up in an ndans in return for money, you will not speak of this ever again, you will destroy all evidence. some women have done itthrou th the years because they didn't want to drag themselves through the mud. there's reason to do it. but this is a systemic silencing of women, that's bad, it's allowed the behavior to continue. but to get past that, it's hard, but it's very important, because when you get these allegations on the record, they're not going to stick the same way, you want the story to be bulletproof, you want to be fair. but when women are coming out on the record, with corroboration, it's bulletproof and it's having a giant impact. and that's how stories land. >> what did you think of -- >> charlie said a lot more. >> and he's your former colleague from bloomberg, i thought watching norah and gail, i just thought of them as sort of collateral damage, when mark's revelations came out. i wonder how you felt watching them and what you thought of their words and their performance this mo

we heard about the ndas through his company.from speaking to an attorney who has handled a lot of these cases is that these particular ones, these capitol hill cases, the ndas are so broad they include you can't talk to your family and friends about it. you can't talk to your therapist about it. you certainly can't talk to your colleagues or report it to the police or to the house ethics committee. so the limiting nature of what that means if you go forward and report it through the process, which you noted is the way that they're supposed to do it, then you are so limited in -- you give up so many of your rights to approach the problem from a different perspective. it really dissuades a lot of people from reporting at all. we know from congresswoman speier's office that 80% of the victims that have come forward to them in the last few weeks with stories, 80% of them did not go through this process because of what they learned it was going to be. some of them say they started the process and walked out, saying this is not going

they can either enter into the nda or proceed to trial.an appetizing set of options but that is the chase. and it's the choice here. at the end of that very long obstacle course you just put up is of course a federal trial and that is a very public event. you can see it right there at the end. federal civil case and that will be in the public. the reality is, is that most plaintiffs do not want to go through this ordeal and would rather it be over sooner rather than later and if confidentiality is required, a lot of them choose it. >> and that's what happened in the case of the second woman who accused john conyers. she filed this suit and then withdraw it after the judge denied her motion to keep it private. sabrina, quick last word to you, do you think conniers is going to be able to keep his post as the top democrat on the judiciary committee? >> i think there will be calls for him to at least step aside while the investigation proceeds. think the biggest question that will be facing lawmakers on capitol hill is what will be the line, i

. >> are nda >> nda meaning nondisclosure agreement. >> it's not just part of the problem because itgn it and regretted it almost immediately. they felt undervalued and treated unfairly. they compensated her for her therapy bills to deal with what had happened to her. when she stepped back, it happened right after the incident, she felt very, very sad and depressed, not in a good negotiating decision. and in the end she realized she had been given 107b8$,000 for a lifetime of violence. >> do they have legal standing? >> there's debate over that now. there are some who say you can break them and the consequences are not as dire as your workplace. >> i heard you say, katy, it's more than a he >> absolutely. with weinstein, the consequences were severe and swift, there was there. the advertisers pulled out. they couldn't support those people. in silicon valley, a lot of these investors own their own businesses. so where's the impact there? one i covered he had shut down his investment firm. >> i think for the reporting all of you have done, it's not just the courage for women to speak o

. >> the idea she would respect an nda a guy who attacked someone and wouldn't respect the nda of messified briefing, it devise reduality. >> clearly mr. caputo has feelings. there's also a larger conversation. it's not just those two alleged members of congress. we're seeing this from the hill to tech to media, to journalism. this is clearly a system that is working. and we have to examine our sexual culture, and how hour culture supports this type of behavior. >> and state capitols around the country as well. tallahassee as well. >> ohio has had resignations, my home state of kentucky, the speaker of the house just resigned. amanda's point resonates with me, but i don't think we do enough for victims in this countcup. if there's concern from a victim, that transparency would disadvantage them or hurt them or cause them any kind of life trouble, that's something we cannot overlook. >> let's talk about tax cuts. should republicans be optimistic do you think? >> they're trying really hard to be optimistic. >> collins and murkowski. >> you had ron johnson tonight, of wisconsin saying i

you did not need to sign an nda to get into this party today. up to 70 degrees, how about it? 68 for dulles and be to 67 above average for this time of year. unfortunately we don't keep it going, it's getting chillier out there and tomorrow will be a typical late november, we're here at december in 40 hours or so, colder air is moving in. we want you to know it will be back to normal chill. and we're on the cool side. certainly not cold. but they're trend back closer to where they're supposed to be this time of year. late tomorrow, we're lighting the christmas tree tomorrow night. about 11:00 tomorrow night, could there be a couple of spotty showers as our next frontal boundary comes through? yes, that could happen, no big deal. the weekend right now, still looks sunny and cool, next pattern change featuring much colder air maying rolling into town mid to late week of next week, but this week, still remains on the quiet side. that's a good thing. weather world is easy this week, shawn, jim, back to you. >> i like it when it's like that. thank you very much, sue >> visitors vio

out and said that she would like the ethics committee to free her client from the constraints of the nda so she can come out and tell her side of the story. pelosi actually made a reference to that, as well, today on "meet the press." saying the victim should be able to speak if she so chooses and be free and we'll see if the ethics committee or congress moves forward and allows these victims to speak. >> we'll finish with this to you, jeff. commenting on that very question. again, the allegations the 3-2 from buzz feed and one from "washington post" and looking over to the senate and the democratic compatriot of conyers and that is, of course, al franken. he sits on four committees. >> well, as we understand at the moment al franken has not signaled a willingness to step down and we don't think, based on the reporting that he's getting pressure from senate democratic leaders to do that. but we'll have to watch this space, though, as the days go pie because as nancy pelosi said in that statement, this is a water shed moment and the environment here is much different. >> all right, some m

the nda you showed on the screen, also some affidavits they said they had. they said they authenticated them with four people. they did not name anybody in the story. there are no named sources. obviously that has been another differentiator of some of these stories. "the washington post" had three people on the record. five people on background. again, just -- i would urge caution around this. we are trying to figure it out. we've also been in touch with leaders in the house. democrat and republican. they both say they know nothing about this potential settlement. it's not clear they would have had reason to have known about it. we'll also try to get in touch with the office of compliance to see what kind of notification they give to the leadership in the house. but that's where things stand at this hour. >> all right. thank you. we will keep on reporting on it. we'll wait for more information on it. kasie hunt in d.c. >>> stick around, everybody. breaking news. president trump and russian president vladimir putin just got off the phone. we're going to have

should nda's be used to cover up abuse or harassment.blic trail about what happened? >> all right. thank you all. we appreciate it. >> yes. >>> coming up jim nans and tow any romo are enjoying themselves in the booth this season. >> a game of hide and seek. [ laughter ] count to ten and come find me! >> that's fantastic. i have to give it major style points! >>> coming up behind the scenes with the newly team for >>> they go five wide here, tony, on third and eight. >>> they go five wide here. that's up for pressure off the top here. that's tony romo breaking down a play before it happens with the nfl on cbs. romo is a rookie in the booth and nancy is a broadcast legend. we met up with the team for the first interview of the season. >> this is my position for calling the game. and i just happened to be here today. >> you just happened to be on the 50 yard line. >> maybe 49 1/2 on the right side. >> yeah. pretty good. >> from high above on the 50 yard line, jim may have the best view in football. ♪ and this season, after nearly 30 years o

"fox5" marina marraco is live in northwest with he details. marina. >> shawn tomorrow could set tone for future assaults on metro employees and you'll remember thb viral video here of think a d.c. woman throwing a cup full of urine on a mets row bus driver back in august. now, for days metro asked for the public's assistance identifying the us is spelingt and she was eventually identified as opal brown. here she is leaving court a few days after she was arrested and she went before a judge and was charged with misdemeanor assault. she refused to show her face or make comments to the heedia and eventually shed bled guilty and tomorrow she'll be sentenced

single way, if we look at education, if we look at legislation, if we look at activating laws, ending ndasng the statute of limitations, if we look at men owning this issue. it will not be that if we do not galvanize our forces and really focus on actionable steps, because we have been here before, 20 years of women telling their stories. and i think in a way, i feel like -- and i know you feel the same way with racism -- it's stubborn, it's persistent, it's intra intractable, it's in the dna. i feel the same about patriarch and feel like they come from the same domination, power over, making somebody weaker, less than you. it's the same mentality. we have to do a much deeper, emotional psychological interrogation and self-evaluation of ourselves. how is it we elected a predator in chief who was an open white supremacist and bragged about grabbing women's genitals? >> and a bunch of women voted for them. >> exactly. how is that possible? part of it is looking at what is in this culture, like in the bottom layer of the culture that is allowing this to happen? and i'm going to go back to fam

i think the whole nondisclosure situation, the nda, where women, or whoever the victim's, is not allowedo say and gets a settlement for never telling her story. i think that is so wrong because that allows the perpetrator to do it again and again, and it ensures there is never anything done structurally to prevent this from happening. host: there are efforts in washington for sexual harassment training to be part of formal practices, does that change the situation at all? guest: i think -- i hope those efforts are successful. [laughter] what can i say? it is a moment where you feel the fix is in. they have figured out how to do this stuff, how to buy off victims, how to make the victims be silent, and it is very disturbing. it is a moment when you feel that politicians lead a life that is different from the lives of other people. host: let me ask you about sexual harassment training, overall. the do you think is ultimate impact of the training out there? guest: well, i would like to think that it is good, that it changes people, that it makes people more aware, and i hope it does. let's

copy of a july 2014 letter from the nuclear weapons council, where in response to section 3114 of the nda, they tell congress that the national nuclear security administration will begin the process of designing and building modular buildings for pit production at los alamos, because it meets those requirements. i know my staff has shared that letter with you, and i understand that senator reed may have actually raised it earlier in the hearing, as well, while i was at energy and natural resources. so i want to ask you, do you support the continuation of the plutonium pit mission at los alamos as endorsed by the nuclear weapons council for which you will be the executive director? >> thank you, senator. i -- indeed, i did -- and thank you for the letter. i had not seen that before. it's clear what the nuclear weapons council had decided. frankly, once i looked into it and saw the letter that this committee sent in response in september, i was a little surprised that nothing had happened. and, in fact, i agree with the -- your statement or the committee's statement in the letter that the -

we saw an unsigned copy of the nda that buzzfeed reports was the one applicable in this case that prevents the employee from talking to anybody, from talking to their spouse, to their friends, even to their therapist, as well as to the house ethics committee. that is the question next i think. there are several democrats already calling for an ethics committee investigation. this agreement prohibits the accuser from talking to the ethics committee. under the law. so very, very tricky situation with new light being shed on it today. >> want to go back to the first part of that statement you read. do we know of more recent allegations against the congressman? >> we are unaware of any recent allegations against the congressman, craig, so, you know, he's essentially saying i was an uni where that anything like that was going on. it is -- i found it to be framing that i think requires follow up questions. >> yes, i would concur. kacie hunt there for us on capitol hill. i want to bring in ruth marcus. ruth of course "washington post" columnist and, ruth, you wrote something that caught our atten

they also have tapes, and they also have documents, and they also have emails, and they slapped an nda, putting a muzzle on him. wait until he now discloses this. i'm imagining this is devastating. sebastian first. >> look, you've done the amazing mapping of all the corruption, the pay for play, the emails server and everything else. you can do it again for simply network analysis.ve look at who was in key decision-making positions for the last eight years. look at the connections between the directors of the fbi, comey, mueller, look at the ags holder, lynch. this is really important. look at who rob rosenstein's best buddies are for the last ten years, and the fact that this is still at top of the department of justice today in the trump administration. just the network analysis tellss you that there is something rotten in the heart of denmark, and it is now time to clean it out. >> sean: it is so extensive, i keep talking about this dual justice system, peter, it is the dossier, propaganda bought and paid for by hillary and the dnc. it doesn't make sense to give away our uranium, ev

they are not named in most of the cases because they were forced to sign ndas that prevent them after the fact from speaking out and sharing details. that, of course, is now something that members are rallying behind to change. they would like to change that through legislation but again, we don't know if that is going to happen. and i think the other irony is that you know, members have been talking about sexual harassment, talking about this issue for a long time. but it is sort of an open secret that i think still sort of prevents members from talking about it in an open way because of the rules and the regulations that are put in place. you know, the house ethics committee, for example, is something that members appointed to as a way of saying look, at least the process is playing out in the way it is supposed to play out. you know what's impossible task on capitol hill right now is to find a member, to find an aide who will praise the ethics committee process. no one will say yes, that is a good process and thank goodness that the committee is now going to look into this. this is

pennsylvania lawmakers are trying to revive the professions surrounding nda's in the state hoping to how freedoms to speak out more and not provide safe haven for harasser. >> in one should a feel they are alone and suffering in silence. >> reporter: pennsylvania state senators say it protects the accuser identity while naming the harasser. state senator anthony williams believes this will go a long way in stopping repeat offenders from finding new victims. >> those who are concerned about, will this put a deterrent to the agreement. i think that frankly more people will feel empowered to come out. >> there could be a backlash, in that there is no reason then necessarily for an employer or an accused person to want to go ahead and settle >> reporter: while the state bill is meant to protect victims in this cases, attorneys say legislation should be handled carefully to protect both parties. >> there is no actual determination as to whether or not someone has been unlawful ly harassed, and it troubles me that people would be able to then, talk about that against someone who is, not ha

. >> other thing with congress, these ndas where you can't talk about it, but conyers and his lawyer think she needs to be released. >> if you look at it in the context of the private sector world where both parties agree, that's strikingly different from mandating it upon staff in the government. >> we've got to take a break. thanks for everybody for being on the show. coming up, the end of a long day, a weird day. the "ridicu-list" is next.

the one that had the nda lifted.rting that tonight the democratic senator from the state of california dianne feinstein wants to speak with him prior to joining us now, the hills john solomon along with sara carter, i don't even know where to begin. the fact that this informant's name was released -- that is troublesome to me, but more troublesome, willou let you address this, john first, but more troublesome is the fact that the justiceg department is leaking, old, he does not have any information when i know that that is a lie. >> you are right. we have seen the attorney general jeff sessions tried to say that there is no connection between uranium one and to the russian bribery case. we have seen the deputy general say that he and two anonymous officials saying that, what we will say back is that i think people should turn into the hill next week we will show the fbi documents and what they learned in real time about the russian briberyct case and the connectin to uranium one. there will be no doubt about it when

we strongly urge the senate to keep this provision in the nda. second, i incurred this committee to push sba on its imitation of women owned small business third-party certification rules. have over 500w osb certified women in our center. finally, there should be a dedicated commitment to programs that are proven to provide capital to women business owners. congress should continue to support programs like small business micro loan program in the community development financial institution fund. chairman, ranking member and distinguished senators, thank you for this opportunity to president this testimony thank you so much to all three of you. i note that all three of you made reference to the capital situation in the access to it and those figures certainly aren't pretty as far as the capital that is received by women on maneuvers. the one anyone who has a passing economics the no's access to capital and free flow of capital is absolutely critical to the success of family of a business and indeed a nation and that is why america stands out so mu

. >> all right then, then would you and congressman conyers support releasing her nda, get this information out in the open? >> what i would support is john conyers continuing to do the right thing for himself, for the public and the constituents he represents. canningman conyers has indicated from day one he is not guilty of these allegations. a number of individuals i've spoken to have said that they've been in that office 20, 30 years. these allegations did not happen. what i would support is individuals who say that they have been harassed when some time of agreement is put in front of you, and i've been doing this for the better part of 20 years. if you say you were harassed, don't sign it, go to trial. >> then yes or no? >> then there aren't questions about should they have not signed, should we go back 10 or 15 years ago and say can we let somebody out of a settlement agreement. you shouldn't have signed it if you say you were harassed, you want your day in court. that's how it works, stephanie. >> then alas here we are. would the congressman support releasing her from her confidenti

if solomon reporting according to the memos obtained, the fbi informant that now has had his nda lifteder of this case gathered years and years of evidence of russia's plot to control u.s. nuclear fuel, which included the uranium one deal. and sara carter reporting that she has received a treasure trove of documents that in fact prove tonight the fbi informant has knowledge of russia's involvement in uranium one. also joining us now is the attorney for the fbi informant, victoria along with john and sarah. sarah, let's start with your report. a treasure trove, that is huge. >> it is. there's a over 5,000 documents which include emails, briefs, other documentation, memorandums that the informant had turned over to the fbi and justice department, and within these documents, it's very evident of russia's intention to enter the american market, energy market. and their intentions to acquire uranium one. >> sean: john, you go into extensive detail in a very long and hard hitting piece tonight and revealing piece, how the fbi informant -- you actually said six years, i thought he was only an

for, they're always going to protect themselves, that $15 million payout that's like having these nda's, that's how you protect. when you can pay off, and say, i'm going to pay you for your silence, maybe i abused you, sexually harassed you, raped you, if i'm going to pay you the money and you stay silent, they can continue the type of behavior. and congress, they're paying them off with taxpayer money. i'm sure that $15 million didn't come out of their personal pocket, right? >> how do we not know names? how do we not know what happened? names need to be named. the money needs to come out of their own personal checkbooks. this is wrong, when names start being named i think there was call on capitol hill yesterday if we start knowing names, maybe this behavior will start changing. >> are you willing to testify before the senate ethics committee? i would be, sure. yes. okay? if they ask me to. >> do you think that senator franken should step down from his job or if he fails to be expelled from the senate for his colleagues? >> i'm not asking for that. that's not why i came out with my st

sam clovis asked carter page to sign an nda.nd a few months later he told sam clovis he was going to moscow. he did not tell him not to go. when he got back, he briefed sam clovis, as well as a number of other officials on the campaign about his trip to russia. >> what you make of carter page? >> you know, carter page is another team member who was eager to use his relationships with the russians to help the trump team. and he even was asking the trump campaign what he should say when he was over there in russia. and just like george papadopoulos, he was trying to arrange a meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin. now this is a theme that we've seen throughout the campaign team. not just papadopoulos. remember, felix seder back in december 2016 is telling michael cohen if we can get donald trump and putin together, we can engineer this and make our boy president there is a theme of trying to get dirt on hillary clinton, trying to connect donald trump and putin. and of course failing to disclose it to anyone. >> there is

there's also this issue of ndas and legal agreements women have been forced to sign. preventing them from coming forward with their story. there is really an establishment. there's an entire industry around keeping people silent over these allegations. that also needs to be attacked and looked at. these incidents do not happen in isolation. they do not happen -- there are people that know. there are procedures in place. we really have to look at that as well in terms of how we can break through with that and start having an environment -- >> one thing i think is so important is that each side has to call out its own. because it's very convenient when a republican is a sexual harasser and democrats jump on him and vice versa. when this is going to start to change is when democrats like my colleague michelle goldberg call for al franken to resign. and when republicans call for roy moore to step down, face consequences for his behavior. until then, it's just part of a partisan battle. >> per version, that's what unites us. >>> is passing a foregone conclusion? the one, t

assert attorney-client privilege, whether you have the right to assert the contractual obligations in an nda in a ongoing investigation. this is an ongoing investigation in many of our interviews. >> so we now know that donald trump jr.'s contacts with russians, he is communicating with wikileaks that the hacked clinton e-mails. is this more smoke or do you believe there's actually fire here? >> well, i wouldn't use smoke or fire. remember where we started. we started in a place where there was a blanket unconditional denial of any contact with the russians. and not because the fbi or because the house or the senate investigations proved it, but because the media and donald trump admitted it, we now know in two separate occasions he had a meeting in which he met with russians for the explicit purpose of getting dirt on hillary clinton. and as of the publication oin the atlantic story yesterday i guess it was and donald trump jr.'s confirmation of it, he was in contact with wikileaks. for the same purpose. and make no mistake. wikileaks, i understand they're a complicate and hard to think abo

the second will provide a means by which you do not have to sign an nda.re will be a special victims counsel available. you will not be forced to go through mediation. at most sexual harassment cases, you go to the media or you file a lawsuit. on capitol hill, you cannot do either. host: we are talking with jackie speier. we are inviting our viewers to call in with your questions and comments. our phone lines are different this morning. (202) 748-8000 for women to call in. for men to call in. she will be with us for about half an hour. since she came out with this story, can you talk about the reaction you have seen and heard? guest: female lawmakers have said they have been sort -- they have been sexually harassed by colleagues. we have to find a way to deal with that. i am concerned with the staffers. staffers, female members of congress still have a job. staffers are often blackballed. she was a single mother with a young child, i cannot lose this job. she has not come forward. host: how does one become blackballed on capitol hill? guest: it is a gossip

ipo,nda: if you were to the next 24 months perhaps? 3-4 years from now. strategy. is that making you rethink your position in europe? >> there are two things which , and thealent passporting of our license in europe. if you think about a fast-growing company like transferwise come the challenge is to continue growing the business. if london becomes harder, that's going to hurt the company in london. passporting is critical for us. today we are licensed by the world leading regulator in fintech, that u.k. regulator, and we can use that license all over europe. now we have a business in all european countries and need to make sure we can keep doing business. we are looking at opening a european headquarters somewhere in europe to service our european customers. the u.k. headquarters will stay u.k. headquarters. haslinda: having said that, given brexit would make london a less attractive fintech hub, maybe singapore. >> it is still uncertain what will happen and how it will happen. uncertainty never helps business, so i think brexit will , andthe u.k. less e

people did speak out, but harvey weinstein managed to silence them and paid them off and made them sign ndasle bit about weinstein having looked it up last night. it is, i would say it is a different situation. the weinstein situation is horrendous and kevin spacey occasionally appears to make passes at people and i'm sorry... there should be zero tolerance. it is not 0k. language like... should be zero tolerance. it is not ok. language like... zero tolerance of what? of any kind of behaviour. do you mean you can't proposition someone? is that you are saying?” wa nt someone? is that you are saying?” want to get drunk and get off with a person occasionally. at work, in your workplace... no one is talking about that. zero tolerance and we are talking about kevin spacey when he was 27 and a 17—year—old... summer school student. there was no drink involved in that. nobody had... somebody said drunken encounters and somebody said zero tolerance. the reason i think it is nerve—wracking is because part of the fight for women's liberation was partly a sexual liberation and it was partly about having

i think the whole nondisclosure situation, the nda, where women, or whoever the victim's, is not allowedsay and gets a settlement for never telling her story. i think that is so wrong because that allows the perpetrator to do it again and again, and it ensures there is never anything done structurally to prevent this from happening. host: there are efforts in washington for sexual harassment training to be part of formal practices, does that change the situation at all? guest: i think -- i hope those efforts are successful. [laughter] what can i say? it is a moment where you feel the fix is in. they have figured out how to do this stuff, how to buy off victims, how to make the victims be silent, and it is very disturbing. it is a moment when you feel that politicians lead a life that is different from the lives of other people. host: let me ask you about sexual harassment training, overall. the do you think is ultimate impact of the training out there? guest: well, i would like to think that it is good, that it changes people, that it makes people more aware, and i hope it does. let's se
