these are sarah's words, spoken by an actor.hey just sit there and have a couple of drinks, have a couple of puffs of cannabis, get up and dance and they try and get into the bedroom by grabbing us like around the belly, and when you do that against the door, "no", they still try and drag you though to the bedroom. basically, they think that, like with them having a load of money and they're married and they've got kids and all of that, that they can go for younger... like our age, and have sex with them for like forty quid or a tenner or something like that. in the new year of 2014, sarah told the police she'd been raped by abdul minoyee, the same man heard arguing on the 999 call three years earlier. ever since i've kept to myself. i haven't told my dad, my family members. i couldn't bring myself to tell anyone because i felt ashamed, embarrassed. and people were going, "have you ever been raped?" well, i bloody have! now i'm telling you, it's proper horrible. i need somewhere to go, to be safe. a police officer took sarah on

norm: thanks, sarah. for those of us who have known molly since she was a very young person hereworking at brookings, i want to add how lucky brookings is to have her back. this is not just a superb book, but if you have read all of her observations on the website and in other places, she has fulfilled all of the promises we saw when she was an intern. here. second, one of the things i do on a side is i am a consultant for the hbo series "veep." it has been a challenging year. [laughter] norm: in we have a challenging " is ahead because "veep satire, you take reality and push it to a point of absurdity. when you start with absurdity, it really does become more difficult. on the question that sarah asked, we all know about the old saw you should not watch law or sausages being made. i used to say when we were writing the book, "the broken branch," i had a friend at the university of iowa that went to do a tour of a meatpacking plant and said, "congress is much worse." it has only gotten worse. -- dean hell

remember when sarah huckabee sanders first spoke about this, she didn't know.he didn't know if the president weighed in, she would find out and get back to us. today, she says he weighed in, "the washington post" reports he dictated. the large question here is, someone should explain, and i truly don't understand this, why is the white house pursuing a strategy here of drip, drip, drip, instead of marshaling all the facts and coming out with a complete story to your point about "jaws." like, tell the entire point of this movie now so we don't learn something new every night and go back and say -- i think it's a significant problem. the other question i have is how did jared kushner allow president trump to dictate that statement? obviously, jared kushner's concerned about his own legal ramifications here. but how, since this entire thing started, with he and his legal team going back to discover the additional meeting with the russians, to reapply for national security clearance, and it all began with that e-mail. and jared kushner had all the facts. so now we

sarah, cliff. perhaps you could tell us, how republicans' decision to use reconciliation to pursue repeal and replace of hasaffordable care act affected or might have affected the debate as it played out so year?is >> great well thank you so much for having me, congratulations molly on the fantastic book. echo your amazing timing, holding this last week could bit been a little challenging getting us all in one room, but you seem to have chosen the one somewhat slow on wood week in washington we've had this year, but that will probably change by the end today. [laughs] so yes, exactly. and our newsroom whenever we would declare it a slow news day, someone gets fired from the out. house it turns so i want to just comment a little bit on what we've discussed so far and then get of reconciliation we've seen in 2017. and, you know, i just want to that,hat norm was saying you know, someone who's covered not quite as long, but has been covering this healthcare debate since 2009 when the democrats began wo

john decker. >> thanks, sarah. hurricane harvey appears to be bearing down on the southern part of the u.s., specifically texas seems to be in its cross hairs there. no replacement yet for general kelly at the department of homeland security. first question. does the president plan to name a replacement for him any time soon? and second of all, is this problematic in terms of dealing with hurricane harvey, the fact that there's no one at the helm right now at dhs. >> there's certainly someone at the helm. we have acting secretary elaine duke who's watching this closely, very involved in the process along with the acting director for fema and again, i think that we are in great shape, having general kelly sitting next to the president throughout this process, and probably no better chief of staff for the president during the hurricane season, and the president has been briefed and will continue to be updated as the storm progresses and certainly something he's very aware of and will keep a very watchful eye on. and
