ken starr joins us. to have you, thank you for coming on. >> thank you, good to be with you. >> tucker: so, you of course ran a special counsel investigation, watching one now inning progress. have your views on the existence of a special counsel changed? and are you impressed by what mr. mueller appears to be doing? >> well, my views haven't changed, there is a need for this mechanism. my views have hat changed, and i recount this in the book, in some detame, the independent counsel stance was the wrong way to go. we want honesty in government, that's in theory what it's all b i do applaud bob mueller for bringing the indictments against the russian individuals and organizations, those are powerful indictments. they're getting to the heart of what happened now, almost two years ago. but i also say this, those indictments do not read about collusion. they read about un rattal action by russian operatives. i have serious doubt there was an effect, we're a big can untry, we are a country that's a vibrant,

starr i value your opinion. i wanted to get a couple quick comments from you about the case that is happening now on the independent. i have been trying to follow this without any left or right leaning. -- arestions i ask is they admitting there is no collusion i hear into this investigation, what do think of that? what do think of president trump releasing documents and texts? would we really do that if there re?n't something in the if brett kavanaugh gets booted, will he lose his seat on the district court? guest: thank you. it iser, i think intriguing that lisa page, the former fbi agent has made the statement that she did and council cautioned that she was an important agent. i would not take that to the bank in terms of the overall investigation. let's see what happens in the investigation. that being said, i see no evidence whatever of collusion. i have seen lots of evidence of what we all know, and that is russian interference. great the contributions of robert mueller was the indictment of the russian of

what is your question for ken starr? >> caller: my question for ken starr is if he is saying fairness the mirror of all things than they think it is, why is he citing another explanation that mr. kavanagh is innocent of the accusation? i mean, the 65 people saying that mr. kavanagh was a nice guy and the only one that's important to the whole issue is the one that seems to have forgotten what happened that night. >> guest: well, i have a different perspective as you might imagine. or you are right. i do talk a lot about fairness and justice and that's what our system is designed including our political system. we do not want witnesses browbeaten, right? we would recoil at the so-called mccarthy hearings for now a half-century ago. as a nation we recoil in a position of power, abusing his power. power can be abused and we need to have checks and balances in order to prevent that. what i'm testifying to, kind sir, as i know brett kavanaugh. i know him and i work with him. it's not that i went out with him to washington nat

starr. everying in las vegas, democrat, good morning. >> caller: good morning. my comment is that i hear ken starr who's promoting -- kavanaugh's exemplary character -- but the same thing could be said for like ted bundy. well people who knew him or whatever, they stood up for his character even elected officials. they stood up. i'm not saying that kavanaugh is ted bundy, but i'm saying that they did didn't know the real ted bundy. you should. >> host: got your point irving. >> guest: with all due respect irving y emphatically disagree with the imharyn. a situation alwhere a person was carrying on activity as an adult. the most heinous kinds of crimes, and essentially living two lives. brett kavanaugh has been an exemplary public servant. ted bundy wasn't. he didn't hold office. he wasn't a federal judge who had gone through confirmation. ted bundy never went through as far as i know a single fbi background check, rather than six backgroundchucks. and so the real brett kavanaugh is the brett

what do you make, ken starr is back.l counsel in progress now, 20 years later. did nobody learn a lesson? >> no, that's true. and bob mueller gets much better press than ken starr. he has a smile, he gets along with everybody. people pour a bucket of mud over him day after day after day for years. when you scraped it off, it's like he is now, beaming ken starr, takingg it. is don't think it was a good idea. i don't think the idea of an independent counsel is a good idea. ken starr's point is more important. the bargain the democrats made with clinton corruption back in the '90s was not in the interest of american public service, but actually not in the interest of the democrat party either. it always worked out well for the clintons. after impeachment, hillary got a senate seat in a state she never lived in while poor old al gore couldn't get over the finish line in the presidential election line. >> we only have a minute left, this is a a deep question. it didn't work out, they skated on everybody, beat a bunch of legal

him the word smith of the starr report. >> martha: we will talk to ken starr on the "story" this weekather alert. hurricane florence is on track to be the worst storm to hit the east coast in decades. it's a category-4 and gaining strength. it barrels towards the u.s. meteorologist adam is here now on the latest update on the projected path and the timing of florence. that's a strong looking storm out there. >> yes, it's a big one. this morning it was a category 2 and jumped up to a category-4 storm. the strength is going to be sticking with us. this is a long ways off-shore. there is the eye wall. winds at 140 miles per hour. category-4. the projected path right now. south of bermuda, we have to wait a while until it makes its way to shore. by thursday morning, just off the coast. conditions begin to deteriorate in south carolina and north carolina. it will be an afternoon to overnight event with landfall for this system. winds still up to category-4 level which means 140 to 150 miles per hour. this be a major wind event. there is the category-4 rankings. it's likely going to stay ri

and working for the ken starr investigation.were able to investigate this, be part of some sort of pattern. but we don't know where it's going to go yet, rachel. >> the senate also tonight released transcripts of two calls/interviews that they've done with judge kavanaugh. one last weekend, one yesterday. and just as you've reported the transcript from the yesterday call with judge kavanaugh does show what appears to be republican senate staffers asking kavanaugh about these allegations. the way they stack up their questions to him on this matter shows them repeatedly referencing his work for ken starr, his work for the starr investigation at the time. the way they teed up all their questions to him about it, they seem very much focused on the fact he was working for ken starr at the time. is it clear was when he was exactly working for ken starr? is there any other indication why staffers would be looking into that relevant into asking questions about this? >> i'm not really sure. i do know i was were about 1:45. so we haven't

for the starr investigation at the time. the way they teed up all their questions to him about it, they seemed very much focused on the fact that he was working for ken starr at the time. is this clear this is when he was working for ken starr? any other indication why senate republican staffers are focused on that being relevant to asking him questions about this? >> i'm not really sure. i do know that i was warned when the transcripts do come out. everyone was expecting they might release the transcripts tonight, to pay close attention to the questions that were asked and how the questions were asked. almost to set some sort of testimony on behalf of kavanaugh and against these accusers. so as you read through these pages and pages of transcripts, you know, it's only the republican committee staff who are asking these questions. the democrats did not ask those questions. so it's something to be aware of as you're reading through these and we head into the hearing tomorrow. but what i will also will say is republicans on ca

host: what is your question for ken starr? guest: my question is, if he is saying that fairness and injustices are a true mirror of all things, and i think it is, that mr.ou citing kavanaugh is innocent of these accusations? i mean, the 65 people that are saying that mr. kavanaugh was a nice guy, and the only one that is important to the whole issue is the one that seems to have forgotten what happened that night. guest: well, i have a different perspective, as you might imagine. you are right. i talk a lot about fairness and justice, and that is what our system, including our political system, is designed for. we do not want them browbeaten. as a nation, we recoil at a united states senator in a position of power abusing his power. power can be abused, and we need to have checks and balances in order to prevent it. what i am testifying to, kind sir, is i know brett kavanaugh. i know him and i worked with him. it is not that i went out with him to a washington nationals game one time and he was "a nice guy," i with the various

here comes ken starr himself.g for brett kauf gnaw on the issue of these allegations of sexual misconduct. >> i believe when brett says it did not happen, and i believe brett based upon my seeing him. you kind of learn pretty quickly what a person's character is when you're in the trenches with them, right, day in and day out. for me, year in and year out. >> well, it looks like brett kavanaugh is getting a taste what was it's like to be a woman in america. particularly a woman in america who is accusing a man of sexual assault. as we saw even today what it's like to be debbie ramirez, arguably one of the most powerful men on earth, donald trump, goes after your drinking habits, goes of a your character, how messed up you are, how stormy daniels must have felt when the entire country went after her character. and at person, rudy giuliani, in the trump administration, went after her choice and her line of work to discredit her as a person. this happens to women all of the time. the personal is always political. and

ken starr lived to tell about it. he's here with us tonight.former judge and former independent counsel as we said in the whitewater and monica lewinsky investigations during the clinton administration. he also happens to be the author of a new book, look who's on the cover, called "contempt: a memoir of the clinton investigation." counselor, thank you very much for making us part of your tour. >> thank you, brian. >> i'm very curious to talk about a guy you know. robert mueller is probably the subject of more of this broadcast for someone whose voice we never hear than anyone else. talk about him personally. talk about how he operates and your opinion of how he has acquitted himself thus far. >> well, i think the contrast of the mueller investigation and the investigation i was charged with as i describe in the book is pretty clear. he reports to the attorney general of the united states. i and my fellow independent counsels were independent of the attorney general. what a huge difference that makes. and so the assurance that the american peop

starr i value your opinion.ted to get a couple quick comments from you about the case that is happening now on the independent. i have been trying to follow this without any left or right leaning. -- arestions i ask is they admitting there is no collusion i hear into this investigation, what do think of that? what do think of president trump releasing documents and texts? would we really do that if there re?n't something in the if brett kavanaugh gets booted, will he lose his seat on the district court? guest: thank you. it iser, i think intriguing that lisa page, the former fbi agent has made the statement that she did and council cautioned that she was an important agent. i would not take that to the bank in terms of the overall investigation. let's see what happens in the investigation. that being said, i see no evidence whatever of collusion. i have seen lots of evidence of what we all know, and that is russian interference. great the contributions of robert mueller was the indictment of the russian official

i will talk about that with ken starr.n the meantime, let's new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ markets are reacting to a report saying president trump will go ahead with $200 billion in tariffs on chinese goods. the majors took a turn downward. they had been up this morning. if we take a look at the charts, the s&p 500 is down 2/10 of an percent. rate the dow jones is down 2/10 of 1%. thating to the news president trump has instructed aides to proceed with tariffs on $200 billion more in chinese products. >> the whole market is in the crosshairs today. >> there were some other problems again, we have been a canadian cannabis company. there was news yesterday saying willthe u.s. officials still look to stop industry workers investments from entering the u.s.. canada legalizing the use of recreational marijuana in october. all of those stocks to turn for the worse. they had been in a massive run-up. people have looked to canada legalizing marijuana. forget that there is a federal statute making marijuana illegal. thank you so mu

judge starr would be the one who would be part of that process. i was not acting on my own. >> no. nope. that is not the way the reporters look at it. they look at it as you are the source, you are the one to whom they owe the obligation of confidentiality. starr's name has not come up. >> but i was, in turn, acting as part of that office and therefore, i guess the answer to your question is, because i can't do that or don't think i should do that as a matter of appropriateness, given that i was working for someone else who was running the office. i talked, of course, on the record and publicly. >> that answers that. you're unwilling to do it. i'll move on. you have said today you've never taken taken a position on the constitutionality of indicting the president. let me ask you has there ever been any statutory law on presidential immunity from an indictment or from due process of law? >> there's been justice department law it ha. >> statutory law is the question. has there ever been a statute that limited or protected the president against indic

. >> bill: explosive new accusations against hillary clinton from ken starr. about the former first lady. if you're turning 65, you're probably learning about medicare and supplemental insurance. medicare is great, but it doesn't cover everything - only about 80% of your part b medicare costs, which means you may have to pay for the rest. that's where medicare supplement insurance comes in: to help pay for some of what medicare doesn't. learn how an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by united healthcare insurance company might be the right choice for you. a free decision guide is a great place to start. call today to request yours. so what makes an aarp medicare supplement plan unique? well, these are the only medicare supplement plans endorsed by aarp and that's because they meet aarp's high standards of quality and service. you're also getting the great features that any medicare supplement plan provides. for example, with any medicare supplement plan you may choose any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare patients. you can even visit a sp

. >> host: we invite viewers to join in with judge starr democrats democrats (202)748-8000. republicans (202)748-8001. independents (202)748-8002 speaking of the judgment here

ken starr has written a book about his time investigating mr clinton — it's called contempt.ou. 20 years, why 20 years to get it out? i was not writing it all that time, i must say. i was otherwise occupied and frankly, eager to write about a very unhappy experience for the entire nation certainly for all of us certainly for all of us certainly for all of us in it. but the time had come. hillary had lost the election. we were coming up on 20 yea rs. election. we were coming up on 20 years. my memory was in danger of fading andi years. my memory was in danger of fading and i wanted this to be a memoir, a very personal account of what happened to our nation 20 years ago. you say that you felt besieged while you with a special prosecutor which i'm sure bob mueller, the current special prosecutor, as well. did you feel that bill clinton was coming after you in the same way that donald trump is going after special prosecutor mueller? yes, bill clinton was much more effective than the current president, i think. bill clinton was a person, is a person of great gifts and charisma, bu

therefore judge starr would be the one who would be part of that process. i was not acting on my own. >> no. no. nope, that is not the way that reporters look at it. they look at it as you are the source, you are the one to whom they owe confidentiality. starr's name has not come up. >> i was in turn acting as part of that office, and therefore i guess -- >> but it's yours to divulge. >> it's because i can't do that or don't think i should do that isn't a matter of appropriateness given i was working for someone else who was running the office. i talked, of course on the record. >> the answer is you're unwilling to do it. i'll move on. you have said today, you have never taken a position on the constitutionality of indicting the president. let me ask you, has there ever been any statutory law on presidential immunity from an indictment or from due process of law? >> there's been justice department -- >> statutory law. is there a statute that limited the protected the president against due process of law. >> there's been justice department law, but -- >> jus

but i represented people during the starr investigation, and i know how aggressive starr and kavanaugh were in terms of pursuing the president and other white house officials. so there has to be an inconsistency there. if his opinion has evolved, has it evolved because of political feasibility? and is that the reason that trump has proposed him? so these are issues that will have to be aired this week. >> when you say kavanaugh was really aggressive with your clients, can you give us some examples? what would it feel like to be in your shoes if you were facing him at that point? >> sure. well, i never dealt personally with kavanaugh but dealt with the starr independent counsel's office and kavanaugh was part of the leadership there. and they were very aggressive in terms of trying to pursue white house officials, in trying to push them into cooperating. in terms of threatening them. the investigation evolved from whitewater to travel office to monica lewinsky to gifts. and then you saw what the final report looked like and kavanaugh played a role in that because his memo was released.

starr was a mistake. howie: you said i have my regrets by attacks on starr's motives. you said -- told me you made a mistake in your dealing with cnn. where did you go wrong. lanny: i respect cnn. i have known jeff zucker for years. i respect them as journalists. i took this responsibility because i was unsure about the issue of the trump tower meeting. i thought there were other people who could have been in the room and it was up to journalists to go look at that. howie: did you ever confirm to cnn reporters this allegation about the trump tower meeting. lanny: i was never sure in my confirmation. i was uncertain. in fact i expressed my uncertainty, but not clear enough. i can understand they interpreted what i said as a confirmation and i have not blamed cnn, i blamed myself for not being more clear. in my mind i did not know the details about that meeting and i should not have encouraged any reporter. the lesson i learned. i'm not certain even on back ground i should not be asking reporters to do investigateddive work when i'm not sure. howie: does did bother you t

judge starr, let's go to you first.emember the 1998 like it was yesterday, and all that was happening at the time, bill clinton at the time had about a 40% approval rating, 42%, mid 40s. but after he was impeached, his rating approval numbers started going up, up. is that what you are thinking what will happen if the democrats go for the brass ring on impeachment? >> it could very well happen because the american people become a part of the message in my book, is be careful what you ask for. because i do think impeachment is held. as hell to go through for the american people and even though they are very strong feelings on one side and then on the other side, that is not our system. we have impeachment in the constitution. it's an important last resort. the country did not feel, as a whole, that bill clinton, for all of his crimes, and he committed crimes and we prove that he committed crimes, that he should actually be removed in his last year and a half an office. we have elections in the country, and those elections

ken starr thinks that sets a damaging coursegi for this country. he will tell uss why, next. >> please don't say impeachment anymore. when they say that, i say impeachment, impeachment. >> laura: you said you support impeachment of the president. >> it need to be on the agenda. >> bill clinton was impeached but not removed from office. >> laura: the midterms are fasta approaching. some democrats are having a tougher time hiding their obsession with impeachment. ken starr who led the clinton investigation calls the process hell for the country. he's out with a new book titled contempt, a memoir of the clinton investigation. we are joined by former u.s. attorney and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. judge starr, let's go to you first. i remember 1998 like it was yesterday. bill clinton had about a 40% approval rating, 42%, mid 40s. after he was impeached, his rating went up, up, up. is that what you are thinking might happen here? >> it could very well happen. the american people, part of the message in my book, is be careful with a you ask for. i

>> ken starr: no, the thing nais changing, huge outpouring and thank you for having these friends of brett kavanaugh on, who have known him for even longer, laura, than you and i have known him. i've known him since 1994. likewise, i can ark test in my interactions with him over the years, including as his supervisor, not once did i see any evidence of this kind of character, moreover, never reported in fact, to the contrary. the outpouring we're seeing now. i know there is a lot of noise, sort of on the other side, but that is politically inspired noise. the people who know brett kavanaugh are saying to a person, he is a person of complete integrity and strong character and you're so right in your comment that the character will come out, someone cannot year after year at yale college, yale law school and various courtships and professional life in washington, d.c., be a neighbor and yet be this kind of person who now is being described as a predator. this is just absolutely appalling. >> laura: reprehensible. >> i wish the senate had stood strong. i understand due process, but the

watergate, it took over two years but ken starr is right, if you look at the constitution it's reallyt depends on who you ask. i think that something that has to be cleared out and as ken starr said there was two presidencies, nixon and clinton in which they didn't indict but once the president leaves office, all that changed. >> with no not all along, those are the guidelines, before we wrap it up, a quick word on politics. even some big time republicans, mitch mcconnell comes to mind and there sound like they're worried about the midterms. some are even worried about the senate side. how do you see things playing out tonight as we speak? >> i'm not sure. it's hard to say. pretty competent couple struggle because it's typical for the party where there is an incumbent president to lose ground in the mid- term. that's a typical thing. were also seeing it huge, a voter enthusiasm gap. republican enthusiasm is high compared to previous years. voter enthusiasm is hi compared to most previous elections, but it's still not quite as high as the democrats and that's what will struggle with. >

pleasure to be here with my friend judge starr. is highly ethical, but also among the most rigorous -- i would say there is no prosecutor alive more rigorous than bob. i don't think given the nature of the fight that manafort put up, the seriousness of the crimes and the power of the evidence of those crimes that this deal would have been offered absent some very powerful evidence. in our profession and those who defend and prosecute criminal matters you only get a deal like this if you go up the chain. who is up the chain from paul manafort? he was the chair of the trump campaign. >> not many. >> don jr., roger stone, the campaign itself and perhaps ultimately the president. i think there is a substantial -- we don't know for sure, the judge is right. there's a substantial possibility that this evidence that manafort is offering will implicate somebody up the chain. >> judge, we heard alan dershowitz who has been positive about the president saying it's a huge win for mueller, opens up a lot of doors that haven't been opened. in t

where does ken starr put the odds president trump will be impeached? i'll ask him live next. stay with us. ork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. like the ones we teach here, every day. and customer service are critical to business success. comfort. what we deliver by delivering. but let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance. which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. see, they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and more affordable. thank you, dennis quaid. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. i'd tell you more, but i only have 30 seconds. so here's a dramatic shot of their tagline so you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless. sthis wi-fi is fast.t. i know! i know! i know! i know! when did brian move back in? brian's back? he doesn't get my room. he's only going to be here for like a week. like a month, tops. oh boy. wi-fi fast enough for the whole famil

let's go to our pentagon owe reporter, barbara starr. what are you picking up?> reporter: good evening. tensions are rising. russia has warned the u.s. military twice in the last week as recently as yesterday that russian forces and regime forces in syria are prepared to attack in an area where there are u.s. troops. this is along the border where iraq, jordan and syria all come together a place called atam. there is a buffer zone that u.s. forces help protect. the russian forces say there are militants inside of there and they want to go inside of the buffer zone and get them out. tonight a lot of concern that the russian military may be making their move and that u.s. troops could get caught in the cross fire. >> implications are enormous. barbara, thank you. want to go back to the senate judiciary hearing. senator carmella harris is asking questions of the supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh. >> my colleague asked you you said you were pretty confident the answer was no. so, frankly, if last night you had just said no or an absolute no even today, i think

so, joining us now is ken starr.book "contempt: a memoir of the clinton investigation." mr. star, great to have you here. >> hey, great to be here, alisyn. thank you. >> it's been 20 years. what took you so long to write this? >> slow writer. combination of circumstances. it was a milestone. and hillary lost the election. and so i felt given my own personal circumstances, it's sort of now or never. so i wanted to recall this. >> but you would not have written this had hillary clinton won the election? >> it would have been a different set of circumstances. i'm an old-fashioned person who wants the president to succeed. i had no interest in raining on a parade, but i did think this was important to share the historical record, especially, as it turns out, it has lots of resonance, lots of echoes from yesteryear being heard right now. >> it's deja vu all over again, for you, it sounds like, in reading this. there are so many parallels. you felt besieged while you were the prosecutor by president clinton's surrogates. y

bob woodward is our washington journal guest monday, "fear, trump in the white house", tuesday, ken starr joins us to discuss his book "contempt, a memoir of the clinton investigation". watch next week on c-span's washington journal. >> what does it mean to be american? that's this year's student cam competition question and we're asking middle and high school students to answer it by producing a short documentary about a constitutional right, national characteristic or historic event and how it defines the american experience. we're awarding $100,000 in total cash prizes including a grand prize of $5,000. this year's deadline is january 20th, 2019. for more information, go to our website, studentcam.org. >> and live now to capitol hill as the senate judiciary committee is holding a business meeting to discuss judge brett kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court and legislative items. we expect to hear statements from committee members. senator majority leader mitch mcconnell says he has to have a confirm nation vote before the supreme court begins its session in october. it should beg

. >> he was alleging that because he worked for ken starr and ken starr was going after then president bill clinton during the white water investigation, then the monica lewinsky investigation, then the impeachment process, this was revenge against him by the clintons and their supporters, it was a search and destroy mission that they came up. that was the conspiracy he was leveling. >> it was and i covered the white house in those days. you remember how tense this moment was and you remember the hangover. we saw it play out in the hillary clinton campaign. whether it's friends of hers who say that's what made her paranoid and defensive and we could go on and on about this, it's not relevant to the day. what he said there, he never backed that up. the democrats tried to come around a couple times, trying to say, what? they didn't press him on that because they wanted to do other things. trust me, i think we can all say from our reporting that you could talk to the democrats on this committee. they're not getting their advice from the clintons. most of them want to leave the clintons be

ken starr joins us in studio now.h us. >> thank you. >> we were just talking i think people forget because of where we ended up with the monica lewinsky story that this started with an investigation of an arkansas land deal. this was a real estate investigation first. i ask this question because i think it has some bearing on what's happening now with the special counsel, how did we get from white water to monica lewinsky? >> it was a long road. as i account in the book, willie, when we arrived or when i arrived in little rock, arkansas, my predecessor appointed by yant reno said, ken, move your family to little rock, you are going to be here for a long time. why? why would a failed land deal in arkansas -- because the investigation, as bob fisk, a very honorable and great person, terrific lawyer, had framed the investigation under the auspices of janet reno, it was very far flung. we were looking into the death of vincent foster jr., we were looking into webster hubble, some of these names from the past and his billi
