and north carolina senator thom tillis.ut first, we have fox team coverage, the carolina coast with the latest on the rescue effort. but we begin with steve harrigan and a look at the damage further inland. steve. >> chris, 50 miles inland from where this storm made landfall there are arty parts some north carolina towns which are . families stagger to safety. this woman is asked why she is shaking. >> don't want to leave my house, that's my big thing. >> despite round-the-clock efforts, hundreds of thousands are without electricity. homes and businesses cut off, flooded or torn apart by the wind. >> will make it. it will start over. >> the only way to reach some neighborhoods is by 7-ton trucks he asked mike last used in the war in iraq. >> was never seen anything like this. we didn't anticipate it like this. we've just never seen it -- we've been here 11 years, we've never seen nothing like this. >> as the rain continues, more residents of north carolina soon be saying the same thing. an evacuation order has artie been is

then, we are going to ask tom tillis to say a few words. these are two people who love this state and the country. >> i'm going to say exactly what i said to you on the plane. i've been doing disasters in north carolina as an elected representative for now 25 years. i've never seen the preparation, coordination, and collaboration between federal, state, and local government like a scene -- i've seen prior to this. if we do half as good in the response as we did in the preparation, then north carolinians are going to be in good hands. the challenge is, quite frankly, going to be this. we are faced with things in this event we haven't been faced with before. the ability to have the coast guard and dod assets in this state, upfront, before the event, has enabled those at a local, state, and federal level to adjust what plans we might have had in place and deliver water and food and essentials in a way that we can get to any community in the state. without that level of collaboration, we would have people that are in serious, serious problems,

i'm going to call on senator tillis. >> mr. chair? >> senator tillis, senator lee, do you still want to speak? okay. out of the back and forth so we will go -- no, was it -- >> i move the previous question on senator klobuchar is motion. >> i don't want to quit something that you have just said if i could. >> is my motion in order? >> his motion is in order. can you withhold for at least two speakers? >> sure. as long as i won't lose my place -- >> you won't. >> very brief. you mentioned president reagan invoke executive privilege, what you neglected to mention was that this committee simply can't accept that in a letter from both republicans and democrats in this committee went to president reagan. i recall this very, very well because i was in those discussions, and president reagan said okay, you want it? this was on the rehnquist nomination, and we were given it. i would also note that one republican who voted for justice rehnquist in the committee once he saw the records, he voted against justice rehnquist. justice rehnquist was

senator tillis, miss mitchell for senator tillis. >> doctor ford, in choosing attorneys, did anyone help you with the choice on who to choose? >> various people referred me to lawyers i knew in the washington dc area. as you know i grew up in this area. i asked some family members and friends and they referred me to the attorneys that might know someone who might know someone and ended up interviewing several law firms from the dc area. >> did anybody besides friends and family refer you to any attorneys? >> i think the staff of diane feinstein's office suggested the possibility of some attorneys. >> including the two that are sitting on either side of you? >> not both of them, no. >> we heard a lot about fbi investigations. when did you personally first request an fbi investigation? >> i guess we first started talking about the possibility of a hearing, i was hoping there would be a more thorough investigation. >> with that investigation have been something you would have submitted to an interview? >> i would be happy to cooperate with the fbi, yes. >> what you have been happy to submit

i know you discussed it with other senators, brown, hiller, tester and tillis. in the institutes offed in's 2008 report as you know the committee states quote given the available evidence the committee recommends members of the blue water navy should not be excluded from the set of vietnam era veterans with presumed herbicide exposure. i want to be clear, you agree with that recommendation, correct? >> i agree that -- i am not a doctor. what i have talked with the chairman about is that we are going to do everything we can to make sure that those veterans are taken care of with funding and science and i pledge to work with the committee. my concerns were not one of saying absolutely no. because i grew up with those folks who fought in vietnam. it's certainly part of my family. i just want to make sure we get it right. we have burn pits that we need to deal with, camp lejeune, and i pledge to you to give this my best effort. >> well. i have to acknowledge that i am somewhat disappointed that you can give a yes or no. >> let me help you. can i help you a little bi

tillis. >> mr. chairman, i'll wait until i finish because i just want to enter some letters into the record. >> it wasn't clear that's what you were doing. >> i could go on. mr. chairman, i'd like to enter into the record four letters, one is dated september 18th, 2018, to you from all of the democrats on this committee. another is a letter dated september 18th to christopher wray, the director of the fbi and don mcgahn, counsel to the president signed by all the democrats on this committee. september 21st letter signed by chuck schumer and dianne feinstein to the president and a september 26th letter signed by all the democrats on this committee, all requesting an fbi investigation, because you did say all we have to do is ask and the implication being that if we asked, an investigation will happen and it certainly has not happened. thank you, mr. chairman. >> without objection, that will be included. senator tillis. >> thank you, mr. chairman. judge kavanaugh, thank you again for being here. i apo

yesterday evening, senator tillis asked you about rice v. cayetano where whether the state of hawaii could restrict those voting for offices of the office of hawaiian affairs which administers certain lands held in trust for native hawaiians to only native hawaiians. hawaii felt so strongly about the importance of its trust obligations, the people of hawaii voted to create the office of hawaiian affairs also known as oha in our constitution. it's not just a law, it's in our constitution that we created the office of hawaiian affairs in 1978. in answering senator tillis, you described the case giving it a different and grossly misleading sp spin. you disparage it had trust to native hawaiians and this led the state to create the office of hawaiian affairs and to decide who should vote for the leaders of that office, native hawaiians. you said the state, quote, denied voting to people who were residents and citizens of hawaii but were not of the correct race and therefore african-americans and latinos and asian-americans and whites were barred

senator tillis pointed out the document i put out to show all the things we have done along the lines of your questions. >> what would you have done if on july 30 the ranking member had raised this allegation with you? >> we would've done like we have done with every background -- f.b.i. report the comes from the white house with a nominee. and then subsequent to that, because maybe the fbi got done with that three months ago, we go through the fbi or information comes to us, then we have our investigators in a bipartisan way, both republican and democrat, follow-up on whatever those questions are those problems that have to be worked out. >> so bipartisan investigators could've investigated this two months ago and it could have been heard in a confidential setting without doctor ford's name being dragged through the mud. >> except for one or two conversations we had with the judge through investigative, democrats did not participate except in those two. but in those they did not ask any questions. >> thank you mr. chairman. >> mr. chairman. may i respond? it is my understanding that

>> the answer is yes, senator tillis pointed out the document i put out to show all the things we have done along the lines of your question. >> senator what would you have done if the question had been raised with you. >> we would do what we have done with every fbi report that comes from the white house with the nominee. subsequent to that. maybe the fbi got done with it three months ago. we go through the fbi or information comes to us, then we have our investigators in a bipartisan way, republican and democrats, follow up on whatever those questions are or those problems that have to be worked out. >> so bipartisan investigators could have investigated this two months ago and it could have been heard in a confidential setting without their names being dragged through the mud. >> except for one or two conversations we had with the judge democrats didn't participate except one or two and in those 2001 or two they didn't ask any questions. >> may i respond? it's my understanding that her story was leaked before the letter became public. and she testified she had spoken to her friends

[laughter] >> we sure have. >> yeah. so we'll, we'll make it. we'll start over. >> reporter: the only way to reach some neighborhoods is by seven-ton trucks last used in the war in iraq. >> ain't never seen nothing like this. we didn't anticipate it like this. we just, we never seen -- we've been here 11 years, we've never seen nothing like this. >> reporter: as the rain continues, more

i think it's striking that this bill that senator tillis and graham, senator booker and i introducedear ago when we were -- we were told initially when we introduced it, it would never get a hearing. it got a hearing. we were then told it wouldn't get a vote, it got a vote on the committee. and it came out with a strong 14-7. it's ready for action on the floor and i have spoken to the cosponsors in recent weeks. i think this latest development should give all of us a more concern about the viability of robert mueller's investigation. as lindsay graham himself has said, it is in president trump's best interest to have this investigation go all the way through to completion. i think it may uncover more deeply concerning materials or facts about the possibility of collusion between russia and the trump campaign. others in the senate believe it will clear president trump. either way, it is the only way the american people can have confidence that this investigation was done thoroughly and completely. >> let's talk about brett kavanaugh and thursday. there's another allegation that has co

senator tillis. >> thank you mr. chairman. judge kavanaugh, thank you again for being here and i apologize what you're going through right now. i've gone through a campaign and had a lot of smears but it appears and compels pales in comparison to what you are dealing with. one point i had to make from the outset, if you go back and look at how this committee process has worked, we have a lot of work to do. we've had members take it upon themselves to release confidential documents instead of respecting the process. we've had an allegation held for nearly seven weeks that would have given plenty of time to investigate, and particularly the american public, there is an investigation going on. the staff followed up on it, and in several different instances, the democrat declined to participate. they listened on one interview and, if they wanted to find other leads and other things to do, why not ask. if you are really trying to get to the fact, trying to do your job and investigate, we are investigating. i think in response to th

then senator tillis. >> to senator booker's point, the document has been approved through the committee process. it has been made public. i pledge to work with every one of you. if you have a document as to which a privilege has been asserted such that it's not public yet, i will work with you to try to make it public. let's do it. i think we can do this. it's not that difficult. we have done it several times. at least three times now. we can do it more. the privilege thing is real. this is not our privilege we're dealing with. this is the privilege that belongs to somebody else. the privileged nature of documents has been around for a long time. since the early days of the republic. the records, notes of the constitutional convention were sealed for 30 years. sealed 30 years. those documents didn't belong to anyone else. they belonged to those who attended that convention and participated in it. there were at least two from that list who were subsequently nominated to serve on the united states supreme court. no one demanded to my knowledge and no one could have gotten, notwithstanding

. >> senator lee, and then senator tillis. >> to senator booker's point, the document you are talking about has now been aproved. it's been made public. the process worked. i pledge to work with each and every one of you. if you've got a document as to which a privilege has been asserted, i'll work with you. we can do this. it's not that difficult. we've done it several times at least three times. we can do it more. the privilege thing is real, though. this is not our privilege we're dealing with. this is the privilege that belongs to somebody else. the privileged nature of documents has been around for a long time. since the early days of the republic. the records, the notes of the constitutional convention were ordered sealed for 30 years after the constitutional convention in 1787. i'm not sure the reasons why, but those who participated decided that was going to be the rule. sealed 30 years. those documents didn't belong to anybody else. it belonged to those who attended that convention and participated in it. there were at least two from that list who were subsequently nominated

president, i want to thank you and your team for coming down, governor cooper, senator tillis, senator burr, other representatives. i would especially like to thank the lieutenant governor. he came down the day after the hurricane to the operations center. things are still dire. over half of our county is without power. we have obviously had the river and creeks flooding, storm surge flooding in most of the state. they had probably eight to 12 feet of water. people have been displaced, and we are going to need help with shelter. the big thing is public safety. we haven't had trash pickup since wednesday before the storm. we are getting back open now. for health reasons, we need to make sure we get all of your help to expedite the boots on the ground. i know protocols and procedures, we've got manuals. i know the protocols and but as i look around -- anyone who has done training, you know training is one thing. we hope we will have continued support to have boots on the ground and help the people in our county and surrounding counties. i thank all of you guys and appreciate all you are
