it's going to hurt people, 14,000 new yorkers, 420,000 people already hurting by it. so this is no joke. this is real and it's going to hurt people. and he goes further, he says he's going to shut the border down. the border will strangle the economy of south texas, of new mexico, of arizona. over $558 billion worth of goods cross the border from mexico. and about another $243 billion of goods are exported to mexico from the u.s. over $800 billion every day of goods cross the border. 500 million people come through every day. it will strangle the border. it will hurt the economy. >> he's not going to do that, for that reason, right? i mean, it's an idle threat, don't you think? >> this is a street corner threat. >> yeah. >> he's trying to threaten the democrats. i think the democrats have offered a good deal. the republicans in the senate sent over a bipartisan deal. >> right. >> that attempted to prevent the shutdown. and he refused to take it. >> in objective sense it looks like democrats have a stronger bargaining hand here, nancy pelosi can pass the bill to reopen

he bought the new yorker, and the new yorker is an immense success. si hadn't bought it -- >> we shouldn't skip over the fact that your son, everyone, who's been here on many occasions, we've talked, is now working for the new yorker. >> staff writer. >> let's switch to september of 1995. the name is barack obama. and he's talking about something called dreams from my father, let's watch it. it's about 41 seconds. >> when i was elected, as i write about in the introduction, when i was elected president of the law review here at harvard, that generated quite a bit of publicity. immediately there's this entire industry of agents and folks, who if you get your little 15 minutes of fame, they'll call u and see if we, i suppose conscious make some money on it. and i think the idea that they had initially was sort of a -- sort of a feel-good story, young black man, successful. and then i had to explain to them, this is kind of complicated, you know? what's going on here. >> when did you first meet him? >> well, i didn't meet him until sometime that spring.

you have a couple new yorkers in there. nancy pelosi is no shrinking violet at all. she may be one of the few not intimidated by the president. the only silent person was the vice president. if there was a tie in the senate, he will have to speak. i didn't hear him say a single word. >> he was probably thinking is there a trap door i can hit and fall through the ground? jeff, thank you. now let's go to capitol hill to our phil mattingly. what was your take away? >> this was entirely predictable. talking to aides over the course of the last 12 to 15 hours, they expected something like this. they expected it to happen behind the scenes. i talked to a democratic senator who the open question, this was closed press. there were no cameras coming in. his question was how big of a show is the president going to make this? the expectation is something like this was going to happen. it was not supposed to be a meeting where a deal was made, but it was a point of people putting stakes in the ground and covering these issues for so long and so well. these types of meetings and

adam davidson, staff writer of the new yorker, joins me now. you wrote that. you got a lot of push back. people have been talking about, we've been talking about the end forever. it's one of those things like the jar lid, you try and try and at some point it pops off. where are we now? >> i think that where we are now is where we shifted to that week when they raided cohen's office. basically before that, it was still possible to imagine this would be a fairly limited examination of trump's campaign and its specific relationships with the russian government, and that it would not look at financial matters at all. if you remember, that was what trump's legal team was arguing. there was academics and others saying, yes, yes, mueller should stay only on this one narrow question and it should be mueller looking into it. what we learned that week back in april when cohen's office was first raided is that, no, this is going to be a multi-pronged investigation. first of all, it's not just going to be mueller. it's going to also be the southern district of new york, a

this was after the first moonves story came out by farrow and "the new yorker."s about this? >> our editors were interested in how serious cbs was taking its own allegations of misconduct by both les moonves and broader cultural problems at the network. so that really got the ball rolling on just finding out a lot more about what the investigators had uncovered. in large part prompted by the stories in "the new yorker" and in "the washington post". >> so it's a sense of stories building on one another. >> yes. >> and a sense of momentum as a result. it does seem like there's this rot inside cbs. is that fair to say? >> you know, when -- after amy britton and i did the charlie rose story at "the washington post" asbestosbout a year ago, wanted to follow up about cbs, what did people know? and that's when you find out it's not just about the individual behavior of one person. it's about a system that enables that behavior. a store system that says if this person is a rainmaker, they can behave in whatever way they want, that people look the other way. a series of m

but as a former new yorker i think seven years how do you feel about the n.y.p.d. acquiring fourteen drones with cameras on them do you feel comfortable with this new acquisition. now but it's not because i feel like they're am worried that they're going to get there. on the heads of the drones and come after every one i just know how the n.y.p.d. works. and i i have a feeling that either i mean i would put good money down that either somebody is going to get drunk probably the guy who took the picture of is drunk with the body cam and will probably drive it into something more they will not keep track of it or they're all going to hacked i mean a guy rick you know like people have literally stolen tanks and driven them in the street so. i mean i think it's i think it's i don't know that it's as slippery of a slow as some people are making it out to be i mean it's not they're not going to neighborhood you already have you know. helicopters buzzing neighborhood we're not talking about these are just the people crews are going to the mat and there are more of your kin

jillian: let's start off with the headline from the new yorker which reads, quote, senate democrats investigaten of sexual misconduct from brett kavanaugh's college years, what did you make of this? >> well, there are many inaccurate stories related to the kavanaugh hearings, i think the new yorker took the case with this story mostly because even though this was a female person who came forward and accusing kavanaugh, there was no proof to her story, all the sources that she said were there, all of them said it didn't happen, kavanaugh didn't have a chance to speak for himself. so i think it just proves when it came they didn't really care about the facts or sources, they really just wanted a narrative to turn autoa certain way. jillian: this is what "the new york times" reported, quote, the times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate story and could find no one with firsthand knowledge, ms. ramÍrez contacted yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told them soft them that she could not be certain that mr. kavanaugh was the one wh

, you might be really ablely for because i've been puzzled in my time in erie as a transplanted new yorker who lived in sort of colorado, new jersey. given that these districts in western pennsylvania do very often go for republicans, i wonder if you'd be willing to speculate or speak what you know on how and why that is, given that these areas are very high percentage social services recipients, a lot of retirees, people living on those kinds of fixed incomes. those sorts of things because i had spoken to my peers in erie for eight or nine years about how i perceived their community to be pretty racist. kind of jim crow. had a very clear red line segregated areas that confused many me. i hadn't seen that in other players. lo and behold almost a year ago in "usa today" erie got the distinction of being the worst city in america to be black in. they rated them, you know, one through five and erie got number one. the homicide rate is setting a record here in erie this year. my property values have been nose diving since about 15 minutes after i bought them in 2009. and it's just puzzling to
