yes and i would even say that president strom doubled down on iran accusing is it's of. accusing the iranian regime of sowing death destruction and care but he also made a very clear distinction in his speech and distinction between the randian regime and the ukrainian people he called upon all the nations out there to here to support speed iranian people so that seems to be a strategy here of course many critics of the trump administration will say that its goal is to bring about a regime change in iran but that is something that it's one of the nation has strongly deny it and alexander in the closing of president trumps america first policy there at the heart of his address at the u.n. who was the intended audience. well i think at the end this case he was addressing very clearly the american people and most of all his supporters as we know we are only a few weeks away from very important midterm elections in which the democrats are in the lead according to the latest polls so they have a good chance to win back the house and that is of course something that donald tru

it was during the clinton administration but that in for the senate, strom thurmond. you described strom thurmond in some kind of like interesting ways in this book. >> guest: he was a character. >> host: and there were others, but i'm very proud of that. i want to stay on mccain. you and i were both at the mccain funeral a week ago. i was sitting right behind you. it was kind of an interesting thing. jay leno was economy. you are on his right and rudy giuliani was on the left. go figure that whole grouping, just random. but mccains castaway but in my heart broke. and when i think about his -- casket went by. i had a long explained with him. weight on his trips to the security conference at least ten times and have continued to go there. that one executive committee of the conference but i highly -- how do we replace john mccain? >> guest: god and country will do it if it is doable pick us up to us, but there are a lot of good americans. there will never be some who spend i would have used in a prison camp like he did and turns around and comes back and forgives and w

soccer fans like nicholas back strom showing off his jersey next to it and 's aliverpool fan. alex ovechkin knows a thing or two about trophies. very excited to see the epl trophy. >> i think in every sport, you have some trophies, you have some cups and, you know, it's all about history. i mean, when you touch it, just, you know, you feel all the energy of what this cup means and, you know, lots of people want to see it and i want to see it, as well. >>> hey, byhe way, setting up nice l nicely, as getting closer to the postseason goal. u playererstand the need for urgency, because on saturday, the black and red play montreal, e team they're chasing for the final playoff spot. it is not a reach to say united is starting to enjoy a real home field advantage. >> the energy that the fans bring, you know, just like the players for the fans, i'm sure, it's very refreshing to go to a every timetadium and they go they make it lively for us and they make it fun for us and we have a great time out there playing. actually heard the drums? >> 100%. all the time. >> all about the fans. >>

letter from those four democratic leaders is accurate and proves true, they've committed, as jim kol stromd, basically treason. >> i mean, i don't know how legally they would term that. but what we see is a group inside the united states, inside our government, a bureaucracy that is literally working against this administration, literally working against the president of the united states. and what we saw, lou, before the election, and then after the election wasn't just a witch hunt. this was not a witch hunt. because if you look at all of the documents, what it shows, it was actually a silent coup. they were trying to remove a dually elected president of the country. the american people see it for what it is. we have the documents to prof it. there are more documents that i think are going to shock the conscience of our country once they come out. and once the documents are revealed, both the fisa, the bruce orr interviews as well as numerous text messages and the gang of eight dossier, the answers will be there and it will be up to the american people, not the democrats, not john brenno

and i tell a lot of stories of the senate and stories about strom thurmond and -- >> stephen: storiesut? >> yeah, that's why i-- no. voters-- i mean, we need more voters in america, frankly. >> stephen: anyone who might vote for you in, like, three years? >> i have no plans to run for anything. >> stephen: you have no plans to run for office. >> i doubt i'll run for office ever again. >> stephen: "you doubt." you doubt you'll run for office ever again. a lot of people put out books before they run for office. >> will you be getting rid of your beard? >> stephen: i have no doubt i will be getting rid of my beard. >> that, ladies and gentlemen, is a major announcement. this beard is disappearing. >> stephen: we have to take a break but we will be back with more from senator john kerry. stick around. any object. any surface. if you've got a life you gotta swiffer you act fast.an intruder... boo so do we. raid kills roaches 7 times faster than the next leading ant and roach spray. 7 times faster? [gasps] raid! get raid and get tough on roaches fast. sc johnson you need to power your welln

. >> we've come coma long guy from strom thurman. graham has been one of the most vocal supporters, and today he insisted he was not going to back grown speaking his mind. >> i know i'm a single white male from south carolina, and i'm told i should shut up, but i will not shut up if that's okay. because i get here the same way everybody else did. the people in south carolina voted for me. >> was that a cry for help? single white male? >> it was senator mazie hirono had told the men to shut up. so he was subtling telling democrats i see you and i'm not going to shut up. it was an interesting moment. >> looks like a draw with the gerunds, at lea genders. >> interesting how he's gone from the never-trumper who had to throw out his cell phone because trump gave his phone number away to being an advocate. today he said somebody's got to get the president's permission, i guess that's going to be me because he was the guy. >> margaret, let's have a little fun. who's going to have a bad week next week? with the fbi out on the trail, thousand

been hurting them i think people feel this is the beginning of a restructuring i think leslie wex strom does not want -- i don't think he wants his reputation on the line here or his legacy to be a losing stock he made so much money for people but i fear that the dividend is too high i fear that there is more changes to come that won't be positive strictly -- >> don't buy >> alan in north carolina. alan >> caller: hey, jim. booyah from north carolina. >> how are you >> caller: i'm doing good. we are holding in there. >> yeah, i hope so >> caller: yeah. the question is regarding duke energy with all the flooding we have had, it's hit their coal ash holding sites and they don't even know the extent of the contamination until the water recedes. is it a good time to get out >> no, you don't need to do that one of the things great about utility companies is as much as i know that the stories read tirably, i think duke will be okay and the dividends okay which is what matters. it's not one that i have been recommending people know i like american electric and i also reiterate i like dominion,

i promise you when strom thurmond voted for ginsburg he didn't agree with her philosophy and i don't think senator lee agreed with justice scale leah. senator lee has voted for a lot of republicans. i have voted for everyone presented since i've been here because i find them to be highly qualified coming from backgrounds i would expect the president in question to choose from. so as to your qualifications, how long have you been a judge? >> i've been a judge for 12 years. >> how many opinions have you written? >> i have written over 300 opinions. >> okay. do you think there is a lot we can learn from those opinions if we spent time looking at them? >> yes. i am very proud of my opinions and as i mentioned, i tell people don't just read about the opinions, read the opinions. i'm very proud of them. >> you were nominated by president trump on july 9th. my birthday, which i thought was a pretty good birthday president for somebody thinks like i do, at 9:00. by 9:23 chuck schumer says i will oppose judge kavanaugh. by 9:25 senator harris, trump supreme court justice nominee judge kavanau

strom thurmond voted for ginsburg. you'll never convince me it was because he agreed with her philosophy. i think he saw in her a qualified person. haulings voted for scalia, the same is true. 96 and 97 votes. what's happened? most of the nominees of the supreme court had never had a hearing. it was also just assumed if they're qualified and they're not hacks, that they're going to go forward. elections do matter. when it comes to president trump, elections do matter. now, about the law. and to my friends who have been prosecutors, i have been a prosecutor, i have been a defense attorney, and i have been a judge. every woman who's been victimized needs to be heard, count me in 1,000 times over. count me in for the proposition for every one woman who comes forward, only god knows how many women and children go to their grave with the abuse. if you don't realize that, you just don't know this area of life. but you're going to be heard in the united states. i had a young man accused of sexual assault when i was in the air

strom thurmond republican of south carolina said her allegations have been found to be -- christine blaseye forward, even. fatima. thank you for joining me. not personally, but institutionally, how do we keep getting it wrong and not figuring out how to listen to women? if a woman comes forward if an allegation, we don't have to litigate it in that moment. but why can't we listen and let this happen? >> well n 1991 we were in the exact wrong model of what do when someone comes forward. you know, professor hill was shamed and blames and her credibility was attacked. there's an opportunity now to send a different message, not just to dr. ford who was now come forward after being sort of drug out without her permission, but also sending a message to survivors everywhere that they can come forward and have the possibly of being believed. that they could come forward and be supported and that they could come forward and not experience retaliation and instead be supported and have changes to the problems they're actually naming. >> it's kind of strange 27 years later how many similarities there

proud of that and the law was signed during the clinton administration put the pen for the senate is strom thurmond. he described him -- [inaudible] he was a carrot there and there were others. i'm very proud of that. i want to stay on mccain. you and i were both at the mccain funeral a week ago. i was sitting right behind you. this kind of an interesting thing. jay leno is in front of me come you were on his right and rudy giuliani was on his left. go figure that whole grouping, just random. but mccain's casket went high and my heart broke. when i think about his role, like you i had a lot of his events for 10, when on this trip to the munich security conference at least 10 times and it continued to go there now an executive committee conference. i have a replaced became. >> god and country will do it if it's doable. it's not up to us. there are a lot of good americans that they will never be somebody to spend five and a half years in a prison camp like he did and turns around and comes back and forgives and works in a kind of manner. i think that was a gift. >> i think it was a gift and

the center there, you have joe biden and to his left is ted kennedy and to right husband right is stromay. >> we haven't moved that much. >> but think about it. who the reputations of those two men questioning anita. >> but that's the same kind of rb why senator collins feels that the president tweeting this particularly him with his own history so unseemly and saying we're trying to move away. if we're honest, he was the one that started the me too movement. he's the one that had women coming out during his election having frank conversations with their husbands and loved ones of what was happening to them. and women coming forward because of him. it's not just the fact he tweeted. it's his history of why we are at this moment today. >> i get the sense there's a lot of people who aren't fully gra p grassigras grasping this me too movement. i have seen some get lecture d y us their own staffers going you don't get it on this. it would matter if this happened in high school. this is a serious issue. >> yes, however, one of the things that has given much of the me too testimony respect is

. >> we've come a long way from strom thurman who would not get on the elevator.of the most vocal defenders of brett kavanaugh. today lindsey insisted he was not going to back down from speaking his mind. >> i know i'm a single white male from south carolina, and i'm told i should shut up. ly not shut up if that's okay. i got here the same way everybody else did. the people in south carolina voted for me. >> was that a cry for help? a single white male? >> you know what it actually was was senator ma sooe hirano a while back had told the men to shut up. he was actually subtly telling democrats i see you. i'm not going to shut up. it was an interesting moment. >> looks like a draw, at least today. >> lindsey has always been a free thinker, too. what's interesting is how he's gone from being the never trumper who had to throw out his cell phone because trump gave his phone number away to being a disciple, a spokesman, an advocate. today he said somebody's got to get the president's permission. i guess that's going to be me because he was the guy. >> let's have a lit

strom thurmond filibustered the civil rights act of 1957 for one day and we call him a racist. in a filibuster of fixing the voting rights act for five years and we have gone through two elections now and without the full protection of the voting rights act and you will have more stories this week about their little rally than the big problem of voter suppression in this country. that's the problem. [ applause ] >> and what we know from 2010 before trump ever got elected, we've had 23 states to engage in racist voter suppression. since 2013 we've had at least 18 or 19 states, there are seats in the united states congress today that they would not be seated if it were not for racialized gerrymandering. it was racism that tapped our political system long before there was any allegation of what russia has done! [ applause ] and the fact that we seem to only want to deal with racism when it's the wordszbo$ of rose barr or the march of alt-right, that is why we can't exercise it. because america seems to still be afraid to really face it. one writer said there were 250-some thousand

and he said here in the senate when he testified and the first thing he said to commissioner mall strom when he was over there in this week was agriculture has to be a part of any trade discussion. that, to me, is just an incredibly important thing for u.s. agriculture. as we all know here, dealing with the europeans and agriculture -- [laughter] has been a difficult issue for all the time that we can remember. and i can't tell you how gratifying it is for the e.u./u.s. trade representative to say that the first thing in these kinds of discussions. >> no, that's excellent. and i know the -- i think i can speak for the committee that we will help you any way we can many that regard. very quickly because my time is out, but the iraqi tenders regarding rice, we had a situation where in the past they have disregarded -- we'ved had bids that were actually lower, better quality rice. the iraqis went with other countries for some reason. we've reached a little bit of an agreement there. i guess what i would like is just kind of a yes or no, you help us hold their feet to the fire in the sense

was being nominated for chief justice. , how theally republicans killed it from the minority, was strom thurmond, who did something -- film festival, where he played these pornographic films that the supreme court had ruled not porn, protected by free speech, and the republicans played these constantly. he's a pornographer, while playing pornography in the senate building. , in that case, they didn't even have any real reason? it would not have changed the court's composition. with kavanaugh, we have the documents, we have the lies, the evasive answers. it is hard to say that feinstein was wrong to bring this up when there's reason to it. on a more broad point, as a job seeker right now, i sure wish every job interview gives me the of aitutional right criminal, in the face of the jury trial. about dueas talking process and all of these other things. it's a job interview. no one is asking for him to go to jail. all she is saying is she doesn't want a second person on the supreme court being accused of these sorts of things. host: let's go to vicki, calling from indianapolis on the democr
