roche tonight. know, what strikes you is he's got a really credible story, but is it the complete story? isn't it fair to kavanaugh to hear other stories? the fact we're going to tomorrow morning before the deadline they closed down this so-called investigation and they've never talked to him or 30 to 40 other witnesses that the parties -- mrs. ford and miss ramirez are talking about, have not been consulted. we, the public, have been misled by the -- what's going on in washington, by the president, by his party, that this week would be spent, the entire week, up to the entire week would be spent in a serious inquiry to get to the bottom of things and talk to people who are relevant. obviously, roche is relevant to the question of whether the, you know, kavanaugh's been lying and about whether he blacked out or not. whether he got -- couldn't remember things. and it seems to me we're on the verge of a vote that's going to tear this country apart because there are going to be a lot of people -- if he

one of the most relevant is james roche. a college roommate who now says he is 100% certain that kavanaugh lied under oath to the senate. this was roche overnight. >> this was a time when "animal house" was shown and people drank a lot. he went to parties and drank beer. many people did. there we there were within that environment, there were loud drunks and sloppy drunks and belligerent drunks. even by those standards, my memory of brett was he was on the far edge of this. he was notably heavier in drinking than other people. it was a long time ago. i can't say he was drunk in this state or not. i can tell you my recollection of my experience with him was that he was drunk frequently and it wasn't drunk to the point of having trouble getting up every month or two. it was frequently. i would say with some confidence at least once or twice on the weekends. maybe during the week. >> the important thing there that roche also said that was kavanaugh lied under oath about never having blacked out or failing to remember things aft

here is what james roche told cnn's anderson cooper. >> within that environment, there were people who were loud drunks and sloppy drunks and belligerent drunks. even by those standards, my memory of brett was he was on the far edge of this. he was notably heavier in his drinking than other people. it was a long time ago. i can't say he was drunk in this state or not. i can tell you that my recollection of my experience with him he was drunk frequently. >> in the earlier op-ed, roche wrote judge kavanaugh has shown contempt for the truth, for the process and rule of law and accountability. his willingness to lie to avoid embarrassment calls up the larger questions of sexual assault. roche has not been contacted by the fbi. >> the white house standing by president trump's mocking impression of christine blasey ford by denying he mocked her at all. >> how did he get home? i don't remember. where is the place? i don't remember. how many years ago was it? i don't know. >> that was tuesday in mississippi. press secretary sarah sanders issued a press conference defended the president as simp

we will be speaking to the roche and akzonobel ceo's later. analysts have been fairly afterstic about akzo even a warning from ppg. third-quarter adjusted operating income continued, 243 million euros. that is a bit of a miss on that number. 30 -- third-quarter revenue, 2.3 3 billion euros. billion euros. estimate was 2.8 billion euros. as i say, analysts have been quite optimistic, expecting price increases to partially costs.higher the ceo said performance in the third quarter should be in line with expectations. third-quarter adjusted operating operations andd third-quarter revenue continued. we're seeing a miss for akzonobel, manus. manus: it's not going to be a one-way street in regards to these markets. you have been on 2% across the equities space yesterday. we are just managing to get it back in the green. the u.s. stock market gaining the most in six months. they dropped back a little bit. i love the line from fidelity saying if you're looking for a smoking gun, it will come members.n these q3 dollar-yen, i tried to look for something

when you hear there's information left on the table, when jamie roche says i think i have information relevant for the fbi but they have not been contacted, are you comfortable with having a vote tomorrow? >> yeah, i am. this is not about drinking in college. if the story is about did somebody get drunk in college or drink too much in college we probably would not have anybody on the supreme court. >> it's about credibility and whether or not he told the truth. >> jimmy roche doesn't know whether brett kavanaugh blacked out. >> he said he had memory lapses. hold on. you know if your roommate has memory lapses. >> if you know that from 35 years ago, sorry, bull -- >> you don't remember if your friends had memory lapses? >> no, i don't. absolutely not. i don't believe the fact that somebody is coming forward that has an agenda. brett kavanaugh addressed this guy at the hearing and said there are things about this guy you need to look at and we aren't looking at that, and we are not looking at that redacted thing. all i am saying is we have gone from serious accusations of sexual assault

jaime roche and brett kavanaugh can't both be telling the truth here. this is not something that the fbi looked into. there are questions. there will be questions raised about whether or not they should. >> and for people who may not have seen the full interview 20 minutes that you just did with him, what stood out to you the most? what is the most important thing you think the american people learned from hearing from him? >> i think saying brett kavanaugh lied under oath. that is a serious claim to make. serious and new and specific. he says he specifically lied about his memory loss while drinking. brett kavanaugh then specifically lied about some of the terms he testified to to the u.s. senate. i think that has the most lasting significance. and then i think why he chose to come forward and perhaps -- and i want to give alysn credit for this -- does he worry he came forward too late. and his answer was yes. >> many witnesses in his view are scared to come forward because they are concerned about being attacked in public, as many witnesses have in th

roche believes his friend deborah ramirez. roche says he has not been contacted by the fbi, but willing to tell agents what he knows. >>> president trump mocking impression of ford. the white house denying he mocked her when he was mocking her. >> how did he get home? i don't remember. where is the place? i don't remember. how many years ago? i don't remember. >> that was tuesday in mississippi. press secretary sarah sanders held a white house briefing to rebut complaints and that there was a briefing at all is news. sanders defending the president as simply stating the facts. >> every single word that judge kavanaugh said has been looked at and examined and picked apart by most of you in the room. no one is looking at if the accusations made are corroborated or evidence to support them. the testimony by dr. ford was compelli compelling. you cannot make this decision based on emotion. it has to be based on fact. >> sanders defense followed senators taking issue with the president's tone. several crucial to confirming kavanaugh

joining us now is brett kavanaugh's former college roommate, jaime roche.t to start with the specifics. you say you are 100% sure that judge brett kavanaugh lied under oath to the u.s. senate in two separate areas. i want to go after them one at a time, if i can. you say you are 100% sure that he lied under oath about not blacking out after drinking. explain. >> i was brett's college roommate. we shared a room. we had beds 12 feet apart. and i would see him leaving to go to parties. having had beers in our suit. i saw him coming home from parties, unable to speak coherently. i saw him when he was vomiting in the bedroom and in the bathroom in the suit, and i saw him the next morning when he couldn't get himself out of bed. i am not a doctor. i don't know how you define blacking out. but, you know, like a lot of people, i had some beer in college as well. and i would say that those things are consistent with blacking out. >> do you have specific memories of judge brett kavanaugh when he was your college roommate not remembering things after drinking? >> i di

his 1983 yale roommate james roche talked about kavanaugh's college drinking on anderson cooper 360 lastight. >> it was an awful long time ago and i can't say he was drunk on this date or not, but i can tell you that my recollection of my experience with him was he was drunk frequently. >> roche said kavanaugh lied about the meaning of words in his yearbook. he also said he believes his friend deborah ramirez that accused kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a college dorm party. kavanaugh denied ramirez allegations. in a letter in the washington post connie chung wrote about her own memories of being sexually assaulted. in the letter to christine blasey ford, chung describes how she was molested by her family doctor when she was in college about 50 years ago. chung wrote she cannot remember the exact date or year but the details of the event are vivid and forever sered into her memory. chung thanks blasey ford for revealing her story about being sexually assaulted by kavanaugh in high school. kavanaugh denies the allegations. sexual assault and harassment may have lasting health repe

but there's also a james roche who i'm not sure whether you guys spoke to but he also was a college -- he was also a college mate of kavanaugh's and he as you just heard said a few things as we played our introduction and he said further about his recollections. let's play them. >> i would tell the fbi that i knew debbie. that i knew her to be an honest person. i have that no memory of any kind of her ever misleading or lying. i would say that i saw brett kavanaugh drink to excess with frequency and that beyond that it would be conjecture. my point is not to say that this happened that he's wrong and she's wrong. i can't know that. i wasn't there and the people that were there seem to be too afraid to come out or aligned with him in some way so i can't say that to the fbi honestly. what i can say is that he drank and he drank a lot and that is inconsistent with what he's saying now. >> so kate you were at that washington private school in that time and you have -- well, not in that time but off lot of contacts from there. what specifically were they telling you that you picked up on a

first we start with james roche. his strongest memory at yale during 1983 was his drinking. roche said he was stunned to hear his old roommate testify last week that he was a moderate drinker with no capacity for disrespecting women in his college days. >> brett stood out for his drinking. people drank a lot then. i drank a fair amount then. but brett's drinking was unusual. >> he's not that guy. i'm telling you. did he drink, yes. did he take take it too far, no. he had aspirations even back then to get into an ivy league school, go to law school, follow in the footsteps of his mother and be a judge. he was smart enough to know the consequences of doing anything that would jeopardize his dreams. >> he said he knew deborah ramirez and that he believes her allegations. you heard from kavanaugh's friend suzanne mat ton. she said kavanaugh is not that guy. she does not believe he sexually assaulted dr. christine blasey ford back in high school. cornell bernard, abc 7 news >>> the saneeo county district attorney's office is looking into a deadly tasing incident involving county

first james roche. he is going on camera to say his strongest memory during their freshman year at yale in 1983 was his drinking. he said he was stunned to hear his old roommate testify last week that he was a moderate drinker with no capacity for disrespecting women in his college days. >> brett stood out for his drinking. people drank a lot then. i drank a fair amount then. but brett's drinking was unusual. >> he's not that guy. i'm telling you. did he drink, yes. did he take tight too far, no. he had aspirations even back then to get into an ivy league school, go to law school, follow in the footsteps of his mother and be a judge. he was smart enough to know the consequences of doing anything that would jeopardize his dreams. >> roche said he knew the second woman to accuse him of sexual misconduct and believes her allegations. as you heard from suzanne, she said kavanaugh is not that guy. she does not believe he sexually assaulted dr. christine blasey ford back in high school. cornell bernard, abc 7

is very disturbing. > asha david said the fbi seems disinterested in speaking to people like james roche. why is that? why wouldn't they contact him or someone like him? >> you mean right now or back when -- before? >> he said this time and also even in previous background checks he's never been contacted. >> yes. so i do think it's important to understand that these background checks typically go back ten years. and so really the time when judge kavanaugh's college drinking would have been within the scope of the background check would have been in one of his earliest background checks, perhaps when you went to clerk for the federal courts or when he joined the starr prosecutorial team. after that it would have covered later and later periods of his life. so those college days those references probably would not have been within the scope of those interviews. that's just to the put that out there since those six background checks are mentioned frequently. in this one, i am you know, concerned that he hasn't been interviewed because you want the fbi to interview people like this can prec

and tonight, jamie roche, kavanaugh's freshman roommate at yale in the fall of 1983, came to abc 7 studios to dispute what the supreme court nominee told the senate committee last week. he says he's not been interviewed by the fbi by what he describes as heavy drinking by kavanaugh. >> brett stood out for his drinking. people drank a lot. i drank a fair amount then. but brett's drinking was unusual. as i was watching or listening to and then reading and ultimately watching the testimony, is that i couldn't believe what i was hearing, because i would be in that room and he would come down and he was slurring and yelling and making loud noises and, yeah, very drunk. >> he tells abc news that he knew debbie ramirez, the fellow student to accuse kavanaugh of sexual misconduct and believes her. here's the very latest from washington. >> this evening, the senate will receive the results of the fbi supplemental background investigation of judge brett kavanaugh. so i'm filing cloture on judge kavanaugh's nomination this evening so the process can move forward. >> reporter: the fbi was given until

so, chris, i want you to listen to what james roche -- this is brett kavanaugh's roommate at yale --about kavanaugh's drinking. listen. >> but there were even within that environment, there were people who were loud drunks, who were sloppy drunks, who were belligerent drunks. but even by those standards, my memory of brett was that he was -- he was on the far edge of this. he was notably heavier in his drinking than other people. i can tell you that my recollection of my experience with him was that he was drunk frequently, that it wasn't drunk to the point of having trouble getting up every month or two. it was frequently. i would say with some confidence it was at least once, maybe twice on the weekends. it may have even been during the week. i didn't socialize with brett, but being in the same room where he slept, i saw him when he arrived at home regularly, and i saw him in the morning. and i can tell you that he would come home, and he was incoherent, stumbling. he would sometimes be singing. he occasionally would wear this -- i think it was an old leather football helmet, and h

shery: i love that you call the same roche. .hank you -- a mirage thank you. let's talk about diversity. this is an idea that financial companies love to invest in and promote when times are good. but what happens when markets turn south? some are pushing for it to be a key priority through bull and bear markets. story to here with the tell us about how challenging and risky a time we are in. a bear market, what happens to these positions that are supposed to be there and people who are supposed to have these companies better reflect to be bought or population of the united states? nowight now that -- right diversity and inclusion is part of the bull market phenomenon, in a bear market companies shift their priorities that they used -- the funds they used to help -- bring in this quote, diversity and inclusion is a bull market phenomenon, the minute we had a bear market it doesn't go away but the intensity goes from 10 to one. we are talking about a senior wall street executive acknowledging, and one thing you pointed out in your story that i found alarming wa

particular of roger's writing is the thing way he talks about internal rather than external aspects i mean roche is perhaps the most well definitely the most political one of us but the thing that resonated physically with me was the wall more to do with. with how we feel about ourselves i mean the walls between friends and relatives and so on rather than a global big political statement. since. the wall was among the most acclaimed concert presentations of the one nine hundred seventy s. so it revolutionized rock stage shows and architecture. plays the band entered another phase when roger walter's left in one thousand nine hundred five i mean bickering and exhausting legal disputes among the three remaining band members soldiered on with guitar player david gilmore calling turner. in two thousand roger waters and david gilmore and started talking again with nick mason mediator and there's a funny thing with being a drama drama cut count operates on his eye so he. tries very hard to make things work and i don't think we i don't see myself as a peacemaker but i do see myself as someone who tries

>> reporter: roche said that testimony drove him to come forward. >> it surprised me a lot to hear him say that he never blacked out, because, you know, i would be in the room and he would come down and he was slurring and he was yelling and making loud noises and, you know, yeah, very drunk. >> reporter: it was always going to be a challenge for investigators to find corroboration for allegations so old and where some of the key possible witnesses were admittedly drunk. but the speed and the political pressure on the fbi here seems to have left some possible witnesses unheard and perhaps some stones unturned. george. >> okay, terry. thanks very much. >>> we're joined now by high school friend of judge kavanaugh, suzanne matan. we saw you behind judge kavanaugh at that hearing. you've known him since high school. >> yes, i have. >> and you actually show up a fair amount in the calendar of the summer of 1982. >> yes. >> how often did you see him that summer? >> i saw him regularly throughout high school. weekends and, you know, during beach week, and so i spent a fair amount of time wit

and here -- this brings us to james roches tweet tonight. and he said i just heard about another classmate at yale who reached out to the local fbi field office to describe kavanaugh drinking, a nasty drunk, definitely blackout and gambling, no reply. and maya, that's one of what now is several people from yale who had information and wanted to bring it to the fbi. >> yeah, and i think lisa and jill are absolutely right. and i would say it's even worse than we're talking about it right now because they didn't even apply a presumption of innocence to kavanaugh. thaw applied a presumption they were going to approve him no matter what. and that point is the most important, as if they intentionally ignored evidence that someone who is being considered for the highest court of the land may have actually lied to them under oath. they refused to look at it. when they said they would reopen the fbi background check, they tied the hands -- not they, the white house, let's be clear. they handcuffed the fbi. they handcuffed the fbi. so we're talking ab
