process the democrats have blocked that by sitting onto this over six weeks they hid it from the american public and other members of the senate judiciary committee there is nothing fair about that at all and i agree when he writes to the senate and says he will not be intimidated and will not withdraw it is time to hear from him and doctor ford and then it is time to vote there is no reason for any additional delay. it is certainly difficult to investigate a claim where there is no investigation and no witnesses but i will say looking into this with what the judiciary committee has done, their staff has pursued every name mentioned , everything in writing in those investigations is given under penalty of perjury. not much cooperation from the democratic staff at this point and that they don't have the same penalties if not answered truthfully. to all of those witnesses that turned out not to be witnesses but both will be heard. chairman grassley has done everything he could to establish a fair set of ground rules where doctor ford is comfortable and doctor kavanaugh - - judge kavanaugh can pres

how did the american public feel about that? >> they agree there should be cameras in the court. 64% support cameras in the court for televising oral arguments, and it is a serious issue. it is not because the public has a right to know where people are -- it is hurting the institution because they are looking elitist when they say what we do is too complex for you to understand, and it gets mischaracterized. people do not care to hear that. forhe survey was conducted c-span. we appreciate your time. thank you for walking us through it. >> this weekend, flagstaff ourona with the help of cable partners, we will explore the literary life of flagstaff. located 80 miles south of the grand canyon. today at 7:00 p.m. eastern on book tv, the book "grand canyon: a history of the national wonder and national park." >> a quarter of the way into the grand canyon, is start 70 miles east of here, and goes to hundred miles to the west. right here is where the canyon starts to widen and deepen and turn into the classic views you see in most pho

how does the american public think about that? >> they agree that there should be cameras in the court. 64%. it's a very serious issue. it's not because of public having to have a right to know. it's actually hurting the institution because they are .ooking elitist look back at some of the major events this past month from the australia parliament, including the removal of the prime minister. this is 30 minutes. ♪ hello. a look with the latest edition of the australia

untold about this, that there are many people going on the radio, making these arguments to the american public, both for and against intervention. steve: how many americans had radios in those days? prof. byrnes: the numbers i have seen are at least 75% of the national population, and over 90% of urban areas. more in the north than the south, but generally speaking, the vast majority of people had a radio or access to a radio from someone they knew, someone in the family, a neighbor. so it was incredibly widespread by world war ii. by 1940, most people get their news from radio. more than 50% got their news from radio at that point. steve: were they relatively inexpensive? prof. byrnes: i don't know the exact cost of a radio, when you are talking about the fact that this is still during the great depression, the depression is not over yet. the united states did not pull out of the depression until 1940 or 1941. the fact that that many people had them despite the economic hard times meant they had to be basically an affordable item that was beyond a luxury and , more a commonplace household ite

my colleagues talk about what our duty to the american public is. our duty to the american public is to evaluate a candidate on their body of work. but we're not being able to do that why? it's unprecedented to think that this committee has ceded its role to a partisan outside lawyer. here we're about to go forward with just 10% of this person's record to evaluate. to base our questions on, to investigate. 90% is being withheld. just common sense would say that that's not fair, that's not right, it undermines our ability to do our job. it is just plain wrong.lisa ric. >> thank you very much. chairman grassley, senator feinstein, members of the committee, i'm really honored to join lisa blatt and rob portman in introducing brett kavanaugh in the hearings to consider his confirmation as a justice of the supreme court of the united states of america. my personal relationship with judge kavanaugh goes back 17 years to our time as white house colleagues in the administration of george w. bush. those are remarkable times and i loved serving. they were, how

>> the details of the agreement have not been made public because it's yet to be finalized and the president has not communicated to the american public what he believes they will get out of this agreement in part because it's not final but what's also not final is whether or not he can actually make this agreement without the support and approval of congress. he keeps saying that he can but that's not yet clear. we know that lawmakers overwhelmingly want to see canada involved in an agreement involving nafta and whether or not the president will be convinced to alter his original plan is not yet clear. >> we heard about that, too, during the time of the senator's memorial, during the time that the president with as alone tweeting about that as well and he'd been threatening, you know, congress when it comes to that. interesting enough, when it comes to that tweet, addressing members of congress, many of them there's lawmakers sitting in the national cathedral. jeff? >> he said in that tweet, congress needs to stay out of these talks with canada. clearly he's not looking for any feedback from lawmakers about what he's doing wit

the american public is more confident and optimistic today because of the leadership. president trump is moving towards a positive free market capitalistic society. >> we do note dynamics, the result of obamacare where many people are being moved to medicaid, the local program. that's a top issue. i think one of the ironies of the economy doing so well, it's starting to drift "respect to importance in november. check, i have got a job. check, i have been given a raise. now healthcare and corruption are moving up to be big issues. isn't that an interesting die ma'am snik it's an interesting juxtaposition. >> there is a host of things voters care about. i think they ar -- i think theye exhausted by the ongoing drama they see in washington, d.c. the question am i better off than i was two years ago. the answer will and reexpounding yes. -- a resounding yes. on this economy thing, comparing obama to trump. the reality is the economy succeeded in spite of barack obama. barack obama expand the federal register by 21% when it came to regulations. donald trump shrunk it by 35%

how does the american public feel about that, and how is that changing? >> they absolutely agree that there should be cameras in the court. 64% say they support cameras in the court for televising oral arguments, and it's a very serious issue, and it's not actually because of, oh, the public has a right to know or, you know, people are feeling, oh, it's not cool, my taxes pay your salary. it's not that. it's actually hurting the institution, because they're actually looking elitist, essentially, when they're saying, what we do is too complex for you to understand and it will get mischaracterized. people don't like being told that. >> adam is a senior strategist with psb who conducted the survey for c-span. we appreciate your time this morning. thanks for walking us through it. >> thank you. >>> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies. and today, we continue to bring you unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court, and public policy events in washing

they are tremendously worried about because so much of this is political and it is about how the american public will read the claims that trump was linked up with russia as they approach those november elections. that is the primary concern right now. >> so we dug into the micro there. so many new lines that constantly cross each day. but let's look at the big picture of how people view this investigation, how they view the president of the united states. first looking at the special counsel approval rating there, you see 63% of people support the mueller investigation. another bomb that we like to show, again this is an abc "washington post" poll, the president's job approval numbers and you see 60% of americans disapprove of the president's performance at this point. 36% approve. which is within that window of his base. but given those numbers, what are your thoughts heading now into the midterm elections in november? >> well, we are still more than two months out, just over two months out from those elections, but that polling is significant. the disapproval is very high. but the approval ra

know there, they are about following the leads, doing the things that are important to make the american publicthe things that give the american public confidence in the system, regardless of certain aspersions that have been made. i'm confident they will follow these leads and try to do what's right. getting down to the truth so that there's not more questions rather than answers at the end of this is critically important. so the american public has confidence in the judiciary and the people that sit on the bench. >> and you're basically echoing what james comey wrote in this piece. he says despite all the lies and attacks there really are people who just want to figure out what's true. the fbi is full of them. paul, i have to ask you about the crucible in which this is happening. we all know well the back and forth that's taken place between the fbi, the department of justice and this white house. how does this effect this if not directly atmosphere clee as this investigation concludes? >> the fbi has 35,000 employees, it remains for all of its problems the world's best law enforcement agency

concerns about information and background on judge kavanaugh that hasn't been made available to the american public and push that forward. currentlye do we stand on the completion of a farm bill? guest: the senate farm bill, i worked hard on the bill. i think it is a strong bill and would help farm country and rule america -- rural america. we are in conference committee out differences. there are differences around commodity programs and conservation programs. we really need a bipartisan bill likely past out -- passed out of the senate. i just talked to some minnesotans who remind me they are struggling, especially with the retaliatory tariffs. they need a farm bill. host: 20 think the resolve will be? guest: there could be good resolve on the democratic and republican side because farm issues have been traditionally bipartisan. we don't have many days to get this done before september when the farm bill expires. the good thing is that the funding will continue through the end of the year. we do have time, but it will peak rate to get this done -- it would be great to get this done in the next cou

when he said build the wall, we know this, the american public knows it. oved from the middle of the pack of 17 candidates to number one. it carried him across the line. this is the most important issue we're facing to most of americans. look, our economy is robust. it's growing. we've done the tax reform and the regulatory reform but because we haven't built the wall, we can't say we kept our promises. we've got to keep our promises, the border wall is job one which is why i introduced my bill and i talked to people in my conference. lou: without a wall, you guys stand for nothing. >> that's right. lou: and you know that, and you've been saying it yourself. >> yeah, yeah. lou: and this president has done everything he can to get that done, and frankly, just so everybody understands, mitch mcconnell and the establishment gop, the rhinos, and paul ryan have decided to destroy the republican party in these midterms, and it's nothing short of that, and there you have it. >> lou, let's talk about one other aspect of that. when president trump talks about a shut

the american public has the right to make that judgment because this man will be on the supreme courtor 30 years. john: big deal. >> but so is the rod rosenstein thing. we have to make sure he testified under oath and the american public have to see whether he is telling the truth when he said he did not try to invoke the 20th amendment and did not want to wire the present. that's a big deal to. john: honor to have you on. thank you for your time. take you to the markets. our own connell mcshane is on the floor of the stock exchange. >> records continue with the dow jones industrial average at eight of nine sessions for the upside today. strength in the economy as a theme of writing concerns about a trade war people might have. the s&p 500 did share weaknesses into the close today but in terms of where we found the strength there were a number of places and will highlight the high crime stocks. talking first about the american airlines. they became latest to raise baggage fees which consumers might not like it but it's good for the bottom line. delta, united and jetblue going in that

saying the job of the committee is "to serve as fact-finders, to better serve the american public, and the weight of the government should not be used to destroy the lives of witnesses who come forward to testify." but the big question tonight remains, will christine blasey ford appear at all? what if professor ford doesn't show up? >> we need to plan this around her schedule. if there is any belief that this is a woman who has endured a sexual assault, has put herself out there, is prepared to come and testify before the american public about one of the most powerful, potentially, people in the united states government, you would think there would be some level of sensitivity. >> mary bruce back with us live tonight from capitol hill. and mary, so many pointing to the very personal questioning of anita hill so many years ago. you showed just a moment of it there, about her allegations against then-nominee clarence thomas. but many senators know this is a much different time, a much different era now, and many of these senators are up for re-election. the stakes leading into the midter

>> well, the accountability -- you know, the american public wants to know a lot of things all the time. we can't provide them with everything, but we try to give them a window into the thinking and the operations of the white house. the presidents want to keep as much information back as possible, we want to get as much information that we think the american public wants. one of the things that is interesting about this particular president that i haven't heard other journalists say this, but i say this, i say people criticize donald trump for using twitter so much. as a journalist you should love it because you get the president's thinking every single minute that you never would get with any other president. >> the difference is that you can't then ask a question or counterchallenge that in any way and that's probably where the tension comes. >> yeah, that's where the tension comes because we get the information, here is his position on whatever it might be at that particular moment, we can't question him directly on that, again, but nonetheless, we still get a chance somewhere else

by the way, by the time we got past him at two thirds of the american public was for it because the president of the united states, does it than just as good, stood up and talk to the american public about what was going on and why it's important. unless we have that, i'm sorry to say that congress can do it. governors and mayors can do it. >> i am with added on the point that i agree that trade agreements have to be sold in your economics ground. but the strategic sender pinning of these agreements can't be ignored and if you're looking for a case in point, you can care to raise that in a series of agreements, trade and other commercial agreements. that is not the point of the exercise. it is limited sense. the point of the exercise for china is also the creation of a sort of china centric land-grant with distribution outlet for china's manufacturing overcapacity as well as political and security outlets because china's security interest followed its trade flows. so now when you talk about the rest of asia or with europe, which hopefully china would join, but let's put first things first. it

and the american public knows it, too. the american public thinks the supreme court treats corporations more favorably than individuals compared to vice-versa by a 7-1 margin. 49% of americans think corporations get special treatment there. let's look at where you fit in. a republican political operative your whole career who never tried a case. you made your political bones helping the salacious prosecution of president clinton and leaking information to the press. as an operative in the second bush white house, you cultivated relationships with insiders like nomination guru leonard leo, the federalist society architect of your court nominations. on the d.c. circuit, you gave more than 50 speeches to the federalist society. that looks like auditioning. on the d.c. circuit, you showed readiness to join the roberts with big political wins with republican and corporate interests. unleashing special interest money and protecting corporations from liability and helping polluters pollute and striking down common sense gun regula

>> the american public will judge that. but come up with a report. what happened to those ethical attorneys who should have the sense to call this the nonsense and and the corrupt special counsel? >> you need someone other than rosenstein who has a stake in the . lou: what about alan dershowitz, legal professor, scholar of law and how about your standing? should not the special counsel. right now? >> i think it would politically backfire. ethically, it would make sense to take rosenstein off the case right now as a conflict of interest becomes lawyers have the opportunity, if they choose to, to go into a court and seek recusal. lou: this is more than a conflict of interest. if a confounding fact and integrity it's in the guise of a special counsel. >> in america will judge them harshly, as they did with clinton. lou: do think it's hypothetical? >> but it backfired for the republicans. lou: let's focus on this. should be disputed now? >> rosenstein should be taken off the case. he should be recused. lou: that as close as we get. thanks so much for ala

passed,ime we got nafta two thirds of the american public were for it. because the president of the united states, he was not perfect, stood up and talked to the american public about what was going on and why it was important. that, governors can't do it, only a president can do it. >> i would add one other point. i agree that trade agreements have to be sold. the strategic underpinning of these agreements can't be ignored. inyou are looking for a case point, think about china. it,could characterize that's not the point of the exercise. exercise, china is also the creation of a sino centric landmass. with distribution outlets for china's manufacturing, as well as political and security outfits because china security interests follow its trade flows. when now when you talk about a plural lateral agreement with the rest of asia or with europe, hopefully which china would join , how would you sell that yucca -- that? once you get over the economic hurdles, it is real bad news. strategiche importance to the united states and to our national security and ulti

now the american public also won't find out about the sanctions until they are imposed as they lack is this see a lack of transparency and we're talking about as not a cause for concern. i think it is i think. you know it's again unfortunately don't know what kind of sanctions are going to be imposed if they are going to be imposed it's going to impact people lives investments on businesses potential potential. and then how do you interpret. this information. from a different narrative how do you interpret. shuji contributions through lobbying groups that are basically influenced heavily by multiple different countries could be could be from south america could be from israel it could be from. you know from saudi arabia could be from any country that have their own lobbying groups here that have a direct impact on on policies and think tanks and everything else i mean that's to me it's just as dangerous in the in the potential. medaling of the information and democracy democratic principles and why do you think president trump signed this order now what have been the driving factors. i

undercut the important work that are federal agencies are undertaking right now to protect the american publichen it .omes to environmental racism he is somebody who would absolutely shift the court to the right. justice kennedy was by no means a progressive on the court, but his vote was in play. in fact, in about 50 cases concerning civil rights matters, he and roberts were on opposite ends of the spectrum with brett kavanaugh we can expect 100% of the time will likely have five areervative justices who turning the clock back on incredibly important areas for minority communities in our country. juan: before we get more deeply into his actual record, this whole issue of the documents and the trump administration not wanting to release 100,000 documents from his time as a staffer in the white house, and the bush white house. i want to turn to then-senator jeff sessions speaking in 2010, when he was the senior republican on the senate judiciary committee. the same issue arose back then. he warned he would not allow confirmation hearings to go forward for president obama's supreme court nominee

way that is nou do it in way with lot of respect that's what everybody, i think that's what the american public wants to see. >> dickerson: all right. now on to the business of next week. on the question of iran, i spoke with the british prime minister on friday who said the deal is working, that the u.s. has removed itself from that the u.k. and rest of the signatories are going to still do business with iran. does that mean they will face sanctions from the united states >> they have a decision to make. our decision was that hundreds of billions of dollars was going into iran and in return they were having ballistic missile testing they were selling arms to terrorist fighters. they were basically continueing to support terrorism, what we said we're not going to give you money to do those bad things. the europeans have a decision to make. and i think that decision is already being made. if you look, they are dropping business from iran left and right. iran's economy is plummeting and it's because they can't continue to sustain this. yes, we will have decisions to make in terms of whether they

like they're going to be used and it's a broad threat to freedom in the united states for sure the american public this is another quote an interesting aspect of this they the american public won't find any sanctions until they're actually imposed is there a fear that there's a lack of transparency there that that may be a cause for concern to you. sure and that's another problem with these things is that they they typically. don't get covered for a long time what the what particular abuses are and by the time they're discovered a lot of damage can be done you know ultimately this stuff one step in the courts and you know hopefully they get thrown out but like i said you know a lot of damage can be done in the meantime and also that you start to get a lot of self-censorship you know some people will say well you know i could get in trouble for this so i won't do it is there anything to be said about the timing of this you know the why do you think donald trump a sign the order not the midterm elections are what coming up and a couple of months time closer than not the driving factor is all of this

the american people to know what he really thinks. nonetheless, the judiciary committee proceedings are going forward, even though the republican majority has taken great pains to shield a great bulk of kavanaugh's record from the american public. since they're in the majority, they can do this against the will of all the democrats and probably much of the american people, but it is so wrong. let's review what we already know about this nominee. for the bulk of his career, brett kavanaugh has been a loyal republican foot soldier who has consistently found himself near the center of the most heated partisan legal fights of the past two decades. from the star report to bush v. gore and through the myriad controversies of the bush whitehouse, brett kavanaugh was front and center representing the political interests of republicans. his service as a partisan warrior was rewarded with a judgeship where he immediately began to establish a jurisprudence far outside the judicial mainstream. as a judge, he ruled against commonsense gun safety measures. he ruled against commonsense environmental protections. he consistently ruled against rule making powers of independent agencies, going so far as to claibl the cfpb, the consumer financia

how does the american public feel about that? guest: they absolutely agree there should be cameras in the court. 624% say they support cameras in the court for televising all arguments. it's a very serious issue. think theecause they public has a right to know or people feel it's not cool. it's actually hurting the institution because they are looking elitist. do isre saying what they too complex for us to cm and people don't like being told that. rosenblatt is a senior strategist and conducted this survey for c-span. wasson joins us. how are things shaping up on capitol hill one-month away from another government funding deadline? card the government shutdown situation is president donald trump. she has repeatedly called for a good government shutdown to get his border wall funded. at this point, congressional leaders are not sure if he will try to provoke that. talking to associates about the possibility, thinking it's a good political move. over immigration before the midterm election. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and

by the way, by the time we got nafta pesco two-thirds of the american public would for it. that's what the polling said. because the president, he wasn't perfect, stood up and talk to the american public about what was going on and why it was important. unless we have unsorted say congress can't do it, governors and mayors can't do it. only a president can provide that leadership. >> i would add one of the point, which is i agree that trade agreements have to be sold in the first instance. economic grounds. but the strategic underpinning of these agreements can't be ignored. if you are looking for a case in point, think about china's belt and road initiative. you can characterize it,, agreement, trade and other forms of commercial agreements with various central asian countries. that's not the point of the exercise in this limited sense. the point of the exercise for china is also the creation of a sort of china centric eurasian landmass with distribution outlets for china's manufacturing overcapacity, as well as a political and security outlet because china's secret interes

president obama stood with dignity and brought to the attention of the american public things we neededa profound way. and one of the things was this is not normal and we should become accustomed to this. it is not the way it is. >> well, right on that. president obama certainly back on the campaign trail with the time we are seeing more progressive candidates. they are beating out establish. incumbents. we just saw that in massachusetts. how is president obama dealing with this? >> well, president obama is not a crazy liberal. and i think that the president does have a unifying message and a unifying tone, which the incumbents are losing like my good friend, michael, in boston. so i understand people want some change, but i've got to tell you, i don't know if you can find a vote that has been cast in the last 20 years that would not be traditional democratic positions on labor, on women, contraception, the whole nine yards. but then there are people in our party who are challenging just because they say we need a change of personnel, i guess. and that is something that we're going to s

but the american public really is expecting something more. the american public wants to know about what happened. and they want to know that the senate takes this seriously. and moving forward on this at this pace with this kind of sort of black hole of a process being foreseen by many of us, we are really under the impression that the senate doesn't take this seriously and doesn't see this as part of their core responsibility to the confirmation process, to the court, and to the american public. >> one of the things you're hearing from senators and some of judge kavanaugh's allies is there's no way to get to the bottom of this. this was 37 years ago that dr. blasey ford doesn't even know exactly where it was or what day it was. that the charges are vague. and this might even be a case of mistaken identity. >> that is not for a layperson to determine. that's why you have investigators who are experienced in these situations. >> and what advice do you have? perhaps no one in the country is in a better position to give dr. blasey ford advice tha

very clearly, everyday the question before the american public is did kavanaugh do it or not. y were democrats are winning and republicans are losing. no one is talking about the economy. >> thank you, see you tomorrow morning on fox business. environmentally-friendly packaging for restaurants. and we've grown substantially. so i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. and last year, i earned $36,000 in cash back. that's right, $36,000. which i used to offer health insurance to my employees. my unlimited 2% cash back is more than just a perk, it's our healthcare. can i say it? what's in your wallet? touch shows how we really feel. but does psoriasis ever get in the way? embrace the chance of 100% clear skin with taltz. up to 90% of those with moderate to severe psoriasis had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. most people were still clearer after one year. with taltz, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. don't use if you're allergic to taltz. before starting, you should be checked for tub

the more information comes to the american public the better it is for the american public and very goodonald trump as well. heather: we have key democrats saying donald trump is releasing material he knows will benefit him, selectively releasing certain material and what does that tell you? that somebody's worried about it? >> that is right. they must know that is in there and why they don't want it out there. would it be great if this came out 12 months ago. more information is better. if you have an allegation the 2016 election was corrupted by that. i am not sure how much the american people trust the experts in washington dc anymore. >> on both of these issues. >> that is what we are having on monday. >> we need to have you back to talk about it. appreciate it. tornadoes causing a path of destruction in the wake of hurricane florence but several touching down in virginia ripping off roofs and killing one person. allison barber live in dylan, south carolina where people are trying to pick up the pieces after the storm. >> that death toll number seems to continue to climb, the rain ke

. >> outraged to lack of public access to thousands of documents related to brett kavanagh. >> by what authority could he possibly be denying to the american people information about a man who is seeking a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land? >> democrats making a very public show saying they would break senate rules and release the documents on their own. >> i understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from the senate. i openly invite and accept the consequences of my team releasing that e-mail right now. >> republicans calling the move a political stunt to interfere with kavanagh's nomination and making clear the documents in question had actually already been cleared for release and calling out those across the aisle. >> running for president is no excuse for violating the rules of the senate. >> reporter: the newly released documents once deemed confidential include this e-mail in which kavanagh discusses abortion writing i'm not sure all legal scholars refer to roe as the settled law of the land since the court can always overrule precedent. democrats saying it called into question kavanagh's view of wh

by the time a gun, two thirds of american public was for it. he was not perfect. those have been just as good. stood up and talk to the american public about what was going on and why it is important. , the congressat can't do it, governors and mayors can do it, only the president can provide that leadership. >> i would at one other point. i agree that trade agreements have to be sold in the first instance. the strategic underpinning of these agreements can't be ignored. a case in looking for point, think about china's issue. in can characterize it agreements, trade, and other forms of agreement with various central asian countries. the economic point of the exercise is limited. the point of the exercise with china is also the creation of a landmasshina centric with distribution outlets for china's manufacturing overcapacity. andell as a political security outlet because china's security interests follow trade flows. aw, when you talk about plural lateral agreement with asia or europe, which hopefully china would join, but first things first, how would you sell tha

how does the american public feel about that? guest: they absolutely agree there should be cameras. 64% say the - - they support cameras in the court for televising aural arguments. it is a very serious issue. it is not because the public have a right to know or my tax pays or salaries. it is hurting institution because they are looking elitist, when they are say what we do is too complex for you to understand and they will -- people not -- to not. people do not like being told that. host: we appreciate your time this morning. walking usor watch through this. . if confirmed, he would be the president second nominee to take a seat on this nation's highest court. here in washington, d.c., in 1965, judge kavanaugh attended y clerked for justice kennedy and played a key role to identify george w. bush's judicial nominees. now we hear from the nominee and his own words at his earlier confirmation hearings and at two conservative think tanks in washington. later, we will hear from those he know him best -- legal scholars, former law cle

difficult thing to accomplish. >> i hear you and i agree with you that this was a message to the american public when this person talks about the adults in the room. it may be cold comfort, but americans should know there are adults in the room and we recognize what is happening and we're trying to do what's right even when donald trump won't. yeah, he won't like any of this. i mean this is, you know, for somebody that is naturally paranoid, whose naturally, their first instinct is that people are out to get him, and now feeling, i can only imagine that he feels like the walls are closing in. i think that you are -- the outcome of that was donald trump winning the election, that is one thing to point out. i don't know what all of this adds up to. i also think that one issue that i take with that op-ed, we the grown ups in the room, because i don't know what this person is, they are a policy person in some way. they are saving the country from. critics would say there is still 500 kids that have not been reunited. it is not clear what this refers to. i don't know how much you can derive from what

does the american public view the supreme court is partisan? >> they do. they are seeing this fight for the nomination in a very partisan context. although i know generally, but the court is it is based out of washington dc. they assume that they behave like democrats and republicans and congress, provides no evidence to the contrary. >> how does it compare to previous times that you pulled the american public? >> is a very dangerous worrisome trend. we have been asking the since 2011. first about the health care reform hearings and later, about same-sex marriage asking whether or not people view these decisions. decisions's recent put the party between democrats and republicans. it is a to-one margin. very dangerous for the institution itself. >> beginning of the confirmation hearings, when were you in the field? >> the poll is. the plus week. >> to people feel connected to the supreme court in their daily lives/ >> they definitely say that the court has a major impact on their lives. 91% say that there is a lot of concern. we asked them what comes to min

and to also share that information with the american public so they know what they are getting in the next member of the supreme court. >> worked up excessively. i want to play you with one of your colleagues said. >> people are going to pretend that americans have no historical memory. so the fact that the hysteria has nothing to do with you, we should ask, what is the hysteria coming from. it is coming from the fact that we have a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of supreme court. >> do you think people are being hysterical? >> well, we've got a couple of issues with that. once, i think it is a mistake to refer to women using their voice to protest, to refer to them as hysterical, there is a whole line of discussion and writings and how the word hysteria has been used to talk about women owning their power. putting that aside, i will say this is a hearing that was held today that we were given 15 hours to review 42,000 pages of documents. 100,000 pages of documents that no other president has done this, but this president has applied executive privilege to deny us to have ac

i believe the american people have a right to have these concerns. i also believe the american public a right to full and candid answers to the questions that are presented to you during the course of this hearing. i will be paying very close attention to your testimony, and i think you know the american public will be paying very close attention to your testimony. thank you. >> senator graham? >> am i the last person? >> yes. but don't forget, we're going to hear from the nominee and his introducers before you can go home and go to bed. >> okay, thank you. [ laughter ] i was going to ask you to take me to dinner, but that's not going to happen. >> you know the answer to that. >> that's right. [ laughter ] so to my colleagues, i look forward to working with you. i think you have to be blind as to what's going on here. you know justice briar, i guess you can't say anything. where did he come from? he was ted kennedy's judiciary person. where do you think republicans are going to find a judge? the whole argument is, you can be a conservative republican president but you have to nominate

president grover cleveland underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, a secret cap from the american public for more than 20 years. next on history bookshelf, talks about his book, "the president is a sick david: hi, i'm david cowan, president of the museum of american finance. welcome back to our lunch and learn series. welcome to the university of central oklahoma and professor alan arnold. the okies are in the house. thank you for coming. please join us again, everyone, next week on the 26th we're going to continue the lunch and learn series. the director of the rothchild archive will be here, melanie. this is an historic banking house. again, a week from this thursday.

these records are posted on the committee's public website and available to the american people. as a result, we have provided unprecedented public access to a record number of presidential records, and did it in record time. the most sensitive presidential records remain committee confidential under federal law. just as they were during the nominations of justice kagan and neil gorsuch, but we have expanded access to these documents also. instead of just providing access, to committee members we provided access to all 100 senators. instead of providing access to very few aides, we provided access to all committee adies. instead -- aides. instead of just physical binders of paper, we provided searchable access. this is access to committee confidential material. i would also like to add that my staff set up workstations and have been available 20 47 to help those senators not on committee covenantal materials, but not once -- one senator showed up. i guess senators complaining about lack of access -- [yelling] documents were not really interested in seeing them. i want to emphasize

jillian: do you disagree that the american public deserves to know who is saying? would have been congress, judiciary committee because the congress is complicit in propping up this administration, there are so few avenues left for actually airing concerns and letting people know the truth. jillian: joe, is this a matter of national security when you have someone in the white house who is saying these things and wants to remain anonymous, i don't know, i feel like a lot of people in the american public that think if we are going to be successful here in this administration and we want the country to succeed why are you trying to undermine what the president is doing for us? >> well, even playing devil's advocate if you don't like president trump and if you don't think who is right, you still want to judge him fairly, in order to do that you have to assume that the policies are being carried out, you know, full. the constitution gives executive power to the president of the united states not his staff, this is not something that any president prior to him has ever h

very clearly, everyday the question before the american public is did kavanaugh do it or not. mocrats are winning and republicans are losing. no one is talking about the economy. >> thank you, see you tomorrow how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we're changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning today. book now at lq.com. a town where almost half the population is self-employed. this is stonington, maine, lobster fisherman is the lifeblood of this town. by 2030, half of america may take after stonington, self-employed and without employer benefits. we haven't had any sort of benefit plans and we're trying to figure that out now. if i had had a little advice back then, i'd be in a different boat today, for sure. plan your financial life with prudential. bring your challenges. i saw my leg did not look right. i landed. i was just finishing a ride. i felt this awful pain in my chest. i had a pe blood clot in my lung. i was scared. i had a dvt blood

i believe the american people have a right to have these concerns. i also believe the american publicright to full and candid answers to the questions that are presented to you during the course of this hearing. i will be paying very close attention to your testimony and i think you know the american public will be paying very close attention to your testimony. thank you. >> senator graham? >> am i the last person? >> yes, but don't forget we're going to hear from the nominee and his introducers before you can go home and go to bed. >> okay. thank you. i was going to ask you to take me to dinner but that's not going to happen. >> you know the answer to that. >> you know that, that's right. so to my colleagues on those -- i look forward to working with you. i think you've got to be blind as to what's going on here. have you heard of justice briar? do you know him? you can't say anything, i guess. where did he come from? he was ted kennedy's senate judiciary person. where do you think republicans are going to go find a judge? the whole argument is, you can be a conservative republican p

our efforts to outreach in gauge the american people especially in light of what we see of transform ational change in the u.s. and the awareness of the american public about the palestinian rights violations of the state of israel as a nuclear buying power thirdly the panic in his and about the i.c.c. and the pressuring. of the situation to a good civilly attack the i.c.c. only indicate for us that we are on the right track and yes the i.c.c. is ineffective and it is up to the i.c.c. and international system to give the palestinians what they deserve it is our right and responsibility to use these international organs and we promise you we will use them thank you for taking the time to speak to us not as the head of the palestine liberation organization that occasion to the u.s. he was joining us from ramallah in the occupied west bank thank you for your time. by human rights watch has accused the chinese government of conducting a systematic campaign of rights violations against turkey muslims in change on province iran has the details. just practicing islam has become a problem for the chinese government. this man says he survived what the governm

the more he gets out, the faster he gets it out, the more the american public will be educated about level of obscene corruption. that is frankly what the department of justice and the f.b.i. are terrified of. it's also precisely why particularly given the new revelation, the reporting by catherine herridge, mr. meadows' revelations. look, rosenstein needs to be fired tomorrow morning. that is the answer. that fixes about 9 i 10 -- 9/10 of the mueller hysteria and the corruption with the f.b.i. the president should get up in the morning and the first order of business is fire rosenstein. get it over with. >> lou: the politics make it difficult in his calculation. >> it does. >> lou: i think at some point decency has to prevail here. and it's not going to be assisted by either mitch mcconnell or paul ryan because they just as soon this president not succeed. >> your analysis is correct. but rosenstein is sitting on top of a criminal conspiracy. he has got to go. >> lou: and at this point, how does that happen? >> rosenstein would be fired. the president has grounds for it. look, rosen
