somebody who he brought in to his administration. not somebody who is a career government worker. somebody who goes and works in a specific office, whether it's the white house or more likely if it's a career politician, a career government official rather, in one of the agencies who stays there no matter who the president is. >> so is this person, just going off dana's point, is this person a weasel or is this person a patriot? >> you know, i'm a little -- >> that was a sigh, a deep breath. >> i have gone back and forth on this in the last 24 hours. i'm a little more in this is an act of someone -- i don't want to call the person a weasel, but i don't think this is as brave an act as i originally interpreted it. what is this person getting out of this? if you're part of an internal kabul where you believe you're saving the country by thwarting the worst impulses of the president, what do you get out of anonymously writing an up ed? it doesn't really seem to serve the person's agenda. i think the right thing to do is to come out and bear witness to what you saw in the administrati

who's next? >> recognize some of the karkh er -- some of the characters in your book from the previous writing, and was wondering you talk about the decision to write the book, was it something that you had previous to meeting these individuals or something you felt needed to be done after interacting with them? >> so it was after. let me back your question up, though, to talk about character selection. so i selected six primary characters, but you could really say it's seven, a pair of cousins in there, or you could say eight, because there's a mom who is the protagonist of the last chapter, so six, seven, eight characters. i chose them to operate kind of like an ensemble, each one is playing a different instrument, if you will, to make together something more complete. so they are from different phases and places and times in the war. they are from different doctrines or periods of doctrinal organization in the wars. they have different periods of equipment, different enemies. the enemies chang

someone who is humble, who puts others before himself. and someone who is beyond well-qualified for the position of the u.s. supreme court. persons annexed ordinary -- is annexed ordinary person, but also a real person, and neighborhood barbecues, and he likes to coach basketball. he goes to church. he does all the things we do, including working to set a good example for his children, his family, and his community. honestly, he does those things better than most of us. with more dedication and more humility. this is the person that i know. this is the person who is an honorable husband and father, and dedicated public servant. the nomination process should be deal with those not qualified or suited to serve, , it seems anyone can launch an allegation without corporation or evidence and dismantle a person's career and life and the lights of their family members. this is wrong. i stand before you today as someone who spends most of my time working with women to help them succeed and build careers. i am so proud that brett has worked to fos

someone who is humbled, who puts others before himself. and someone who is well-qualified beyond the position of the u.s. supreme court. brett is an extraordinary person, as you heard all of us to, but he is also a real person. he comes to neighborhood barbecues and he likes sports, and he coaches basketball, as you have heard us talk about. he goes to church. he does all the things that we do, including working to set a good example for his children, his family, and his community. but honestly, he does those things better than most of us. with more dedication and more humility. this is the person that i know. a person who is an honorable husband and daughter and dedicated public servant. the nomination process should be one that we are not qualified or suited to serve. sadly this process isn't. it seems anyone can launch an allegation without corroboration or evidence and dismantle a person's career and their life and the lives of their family members. this is wrong. i stand before you today as someone who spends much of my time working w

who's telling the truth?vanaugh, if brett kavanaugh is telling the truth -- people keep saying to me what if it was your husband, what if it was your son, what if it was your brother? absolutely. i have those concerns. but it is not a one to one, for every girl out there, there's a boy who's been falsely accused. let's accused. let's get to the bottom of it. all parties involved deserve better. >> i would want to share every element of my life. when i went back to coach girls basketball. >> if you are admitting you went to play saga. >> here is the other thing, what we know that is political and shameful. the republicans are saying, we need to find the lady, a dame to ask these questions. go ahead, ted cruz, who is in a tight race. ask her questions. this is about the fact republicans know they have a poor record on these issues because they are afraid of what is going to happen in arizona or republican women are running in tennessee and this may be a debate question. that's what it boils down to. why are the

who is responsible? yes, the president's behavior if you believe the person who wrote this op-ed is part of that. but is congress in some way allowing this to happen? >> congress was much more responsible during the nixon years but it was a democratically controlled congress but not totally in the sense that southern democrats were conservatives and not unsympathetic with the nixon white house. what happened is the president wasn't ready for the job. he is not still ready for the job. he's remarkably put together a staff that is not as strong as it should be. he's got some good people but that place isn't running the way it -- it's understaffed still. it is just not running the way it can and should. >> you heard me float my half-baked idea to david chalian in the last segment that this can't be the author of this op-ed's end game. that this has to be one step of it that they would -- i would assume the author has thought out more than one step as a whistle-blower. do you think the author of this op-ed j

who was his intended audience for this? who was the publisher's intended audience for this? >> right. so washington -- as i said, he was born in 1880, so by 1930, that makes him 50. am i right? so he was a middle aged person when he was writing this book. and he was also a high school teacher at cordova high school here in washington. he taught arts, mechanical and commercial arts. so he worked with kids. he was married his entire adult life, but they never had kids. but he was working with kids. so he had concerns about the youth culture of his day. he thought there were too many unwholesome things going on. he was worried about movies and movie representations, particularly about african americans. and he also -- the book is a little bit nostalgic in the sense he admired his grandmother's friend in that generation. he admired the generation that lived through the civil war. and he wanted -- i think he imagined both white and black audience for this book. and the publisher marketed more or less that way too, although more to a kind of lincoln collecting writer audience. but

leaders who were not heard when these guys were accompanied by the ku klux klan and those who objectedaking a comparison saying, they're good people. what has become of us? our children are listening. our silence is complicity. i don't want to hear anyone now as we stand up in the face of this onslaught, the vast majority of the american people are with us. it is the story of supporting many brave americans who came out and spoke up from the earliest activities of trailblazers like marcia b johnson listed stood in the front lines of liberation. those loving couples who fought for the freedom to marry. ,t's all of you coming out living with pride, telling your stories. last week, in india, the country of india, it wasn't just what they did. it's how they did it. the supreme court unanimously decided to jerk human allies homosexuality. -- decriminalize homosexuality. landmark u.s. supreme court decisions giving people equality. [applause] folks, the rest of the world follows a -- us because of the power of our example. that is what allows us to lead the world. it resonates around the wor

who abuse their authority people who complain about their. femininity or masculinity as being simply a toxic boss and. talks impulse but there is something. which comes with the fact that a man who has this talks of toxicity that comes of. to be violent much more than. in unpleasant woman is likely to be a man with toxic masculinity who in many cases might have resources and therefore can be very controlling over men just because it creates a number of men who are in that position also because society allows it to be i guess that women with the potential to be toxic. sometimes help pick by the expectations of society well listen men society itself brings that out you know the guy is a calls out and fights who pulls out and. not in an innocent and a social way so the system. encourages. in this i know a lot of men who do not like. the kinds of stereotypes about men it's a harmful to women who actually find that they have to fight it just to be themselves you often mention the need to move men and the way it is presented now it's very broad bec

who have accused him are very, very credible women who have had federal jobs, who have had to go throughces. i've talked to people who are close with professor ford, and they say this is someone who's a psychologist, who's very smart, who understands what it means to remember things. and that wouldn't make up false accusations out of nowhere. so while brett kavanaugh is saying, i'm very credible, his accusers are also saying, i'm very credible. so tomorrow's hearing, i think, will be very tough for a lot of people to watch and weigh what person you should agree with. but i go back to the president. i think the president is going to be all about who looks like someone who is winning. president trump is all about winners and losers. and if brett kavanaugh goes in there and doesn't seem as though he's going to be aggressive, doesn't seem as though he's going to be someone who's going to fight tooth and nail, who has to go after a little bit these accusers, the president will not be impressed with brett kavanaugh, and that could mean that he would pull his nomination. >> let me go to john. j

who brought it up, who said under what circumstances should he be leaving, we don't know.ly rosenstein wasn't surprised, it would appear, by being summoned to the white house for this meeting this morning. now--well, i have one other things to say, but if we're out of time -- >> always time for you, pete. >> the other thing is this, if rosenstein leaves, then what we're told now is that the supervision of the russia investigation would be overtaken by noel francisco, who's next in time for attorney general, but since the attorney general is recused and there is no attorney general, that would go to noel francisco is acting director, and the acting attorney general for all other purposes would be callaghan who would be the next acting attorney general. >> we'll save that for the next hour, pete, thank you. really quickly, i do want to get to "the washington post" national political reporter robert acosta who i understand has some new reporting on the fluidity of this situation. what can you tell us, bob? >> reporter: it's really a different point of view right now from the

i do think i know who it is.you. >> well, do you want to tell us who your theory is? >> yeah, yeah. it is jon huntsman, i believe. pretty clearly, more likely than not. i'd put my money on it. it's jon huntsman. i've been thinking about this for the last couple of days. and i'm pretty clear. >> i should note that huntsman through his spokesperson has denied, denied that he wrote this, along with the many other denials. >> well, he didn't really. it was a nondenial denial. i don't have the words right in front of me. but he didn't really come out -- number one, he didn't say it, his spokesman did. and he didn't actually deny it, he did some circumlocution. so i would look at that. all the factors suggest jon huntsman. >> we'll have to leave an open mind on that because as i said we don't have the proof yet. but john o'connor, thank you. thank you for sharing both your experience and your theory. as we've been reporting tonight, attorney general jeff sessions has come the terms with the fact that his relationship w

i want to also thank a number of the commissioners who are here, commissioner myrna melgar who's hererom planning. i know that commissioner debra walker is here from building commission, as well as angus. people are working together to make sure that our departments are working together, that we are doing everything we can to create housing in san francisco, and this is one of the most creative ways to produce housing stock of rent controlled units here in the city. and so at this time, i'm not sure if there is any other speakers other than me, since this is just a directive -- oh, yes, thank you. thanks for reminding me. so someone who has been an incredible advocate, a fierce advocate in helping to support this particular program, my former colleague on the board of supervisors and someone who i truly admire, someone who's innovative and is really pushing to develop new, creative ways to provide housing, and that is supervisor from district four, supervisor katey tang, and so she's going to say a few words at this time. >> supervisor tang: first of all, i want to thank mayor breed s

what do we know about who the fbi plans to speak with and who they may have already spoken with or reached out to? >> sure, amon. we do know this fbi investigation as you mentioned before is quite limited. we know that they are going to talk to mark judge, the key witness who was allegedly in the room with mark kavanaugh when the sexual assault took place with dr. ford and two other people who dr. ford say were at the party. so there's three people, the fourth person is the second accuser, that's ramirez. she went to undergrad with mark kavanaugh, that's the allegation where he exposed himself to her. so where this goes and if the fbi does talk to dr. ford as you mentioned her lawyers say that they have not reached out yet. we're unsure if that's the plan if they're actually going to. i've been in touch with some sources on the hill who say they haven't heard yet if dr. ford is going to be part of this investigation or her testimony is going to be considered the evidence they need. >> it may not come as a surprise we're hearing two things coming out of the washington, particularly the whit

i want to mention one version who -- one person who is still wet crs and two people who have retired from crs. -- for those of you who have access to previous congressional orderlies -- the great walter balzac, probably the finest teacher of college and graduate students, just spent 50 years there and still loves going to work everyday. i think he is crazy, but all the power to them. and two retired staffers, one who worked on policy and one who is, as i used to say, my attorney. both of whom were nice enough, despite being retired, to come downtown at 8:00 in the morning. that is jean jones and mike campbell. i would like to acknowledge them. then i would like to tell a couple of stories. [applause] one more minute, i want to tell two stories about rob portman and steny hoyer. camp's portrait ceremony when he was retiring from congress and as chair of the ways and means committee, i was honored enough to be included and invited. senator portman came over. it was in the ways and means room, and a lot of the new members did not know senator portman. i of course did, i knew him when he

is in there because he's less sure of who he can believe, who he can trust, even in his own administration. to piggyback on phil's point, there are very few people -- people are denying being the author of his op-ed. they're not denying the substance of it. people inside and outside the administration are sort of playing the same guessing games. i didn't do it but i know five people who could have done it. >> i heard that. i didn't have the you-know-whats to right it, but these people -- >> this is not a widely held belief. not at all. there are some people who speak to the president frequently over the weekend try to get him off this to suggest that, like, this is not a good issue for you. let's move on. let's talk about something -- focus on the midterms, something you can sell like the economy. we saw a little of that today but that was mostly in response to obama's claims and the president thinking he's taking the credit for the economy. trump is fixated on this. and isn't going to let it go. >> the through line, frank, through this book is that donald trump is a liar. it opens with fa

but you work for a president who says all the women who accused him are lying. there have been a number of people -- >> don't conflate that with this and certainly don't conflate it with what happened to me. it would be a huge mistake. >> i'm not conflating it. >> let's not always bring trump into everything that happens in this universe. that's mistake number one. >> president trump said his personal experiences have formed his view of this. that's the only reason i'm bringing that up. he was asked about it. he said yes, it informed how i look at it. because i've had so many false allegations against me. that's what he said. as a survivor of this -- again, i'm deeply, personally very sorry about whatever pain you've gone through. >> thank you. >> but does that not make you think when you hear somebody like professor ford or other people make allegations, does that not make you think that these women need to be heard and even if there are not corroborating witnesses, absence of evidence. >> they should all be heard and they should be heard in courts of law and d

will save us how it feels that the terrorists who.

, republican or democrat, would allow somebody to get onto the supreme court who is this political, whoakedly claimed in front of the committee that this was all just a liberal, democratic, pro-clinton conspiracy. >> revenge for the clintons. >> revenge for the clintons, something he didn't have to say in order to defend himself against these specific charges. i would say i was a little surprised that there was as much concern about his demeanor as there was about the specific charges. >> so yesterday i felt like we witnessed -- there's a lot of ways to parse yesterday. but a lot of people felt like something was wrong and breaking. wrong in that it felt like there was a kind of torture that was being imposed on dr. blasey ford, the weirdness of the prosecutor who was hired and d then discarded and also just a sense that people -- that there's some kind of profound legitimacy crisis we're watching happen in slow motion. you're a member of that body. do you feel that way? >> you have to compare this back to prior similar hearings. the anita hill hearing you had 20 plus witnesses that wer

in order to be able to who moves the government up big or and who when we were before clinton and. what. depended on huge part of that. in the national news did also. complied with the mandate because we see that the attorney general is not reacting and she should have already started an investigation against the president and the president should be in jail right now so it depends on what to do shoes do and he's also been most traits that their national if you will not do anything in order to fight corruption. is not to the point. i think i'd just like to say that you know back in two thousand and fifteen jury the massive protests the street demonstrations that there were which eventually led to the downfall the street demonstrators were sort of working together which it clearly. from the east as well you know i know that they were really instrumental in bringing those street demonstrations together and there was fifty sixty thousand people down at the plaza the central plaza what i call a city every second weekend there was a huge number of people from what i've seen over the pas

who are in a situation where they have no voice and who will speak for them?m going to run for congress. i announced 13 days before the connecticut convention. at the convention, on the second ballot, i received the nomination, which was unheart of. everyone sat you don't have a network, and no one knows you. i had never run for office. i had no money. i was running against someone -- not incumbent, but someone who had a 30-year career in connecticut politics. i received the nomination. don't get excited. because i received the nomination and after a series of vote switches, i lost it. it was taken away by three votes. >> say it again. that's voter suppression inside the party. ms. hayes: i was on a screen like this, and the screen went black. the leader is tallying votes and then comes out and says that i no longer have the nomination. i'm two points behind. angela: i want to clarify, jahana. the republican party did this? ms. hayes: no, this was a democratic convention. i left thinking you know what, i still left with 49% of the votes. this is tremendous. i

all of the chickens are going to come to roost and all of these people who have been quiet, who haveey are going to pay for it. this is a moment in time and if they hide at this moment in time the rest of their political careers will pay. i hope there is republicans listening, this is not a grayish u, this is a black and white. at the very least you need to say, no, we're not going to not here. we need to listen. i believe kavanaugh is dead at this point. i would be shocked if he was ever a supreme court justice. >> mika, you know, you look at what some republicans said about al franken, for instance. >> yeah. >> what they said about allegations that al franken denied. >> yeah. >> and you start adding that up and you compare that to what's going on right now, again, it seems to me they are in a very difficult position. mitch mcconnell at some point he may have the votes, but at some point mitch mcconnell may have to look at the numbers. brett kavanaugh was already historically unpopular pick. >> yeah. >> you would have to go back quite some time to find another one that was as unpopu

else who may have knowledge or who's been accused would actually testify? >> the chairman of the judiciary committee has the gavel. but i hope that he'll listen to his colleagues. because he would do a disservice to judge kavanaugh, as well as dr. ford, and the members of the senate and the american public if he rushes to judgment here without an investigation. and it will cast a shadow and a stain on judge kavanaugh, if he is confirmed, as a result of this broken process that shattered the norms. it will cast a shadow on the supreme court as an institution. >> senator blumenthal, i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> joining me now, cnn political analyst and "usa today" columnist, kirsten powers. cnn political commentator and former communications director for ted cruz, wiamanda carpente and carrie severino with judicial crisis network. kirsten, the fact that there's now going to be this public hearing on monday, where both judge kavanaugh and ford will be able to testify under oath, it's obviously a hugely significant development. what are your concern

push me, who are critical of me, who want me to really operate at excellence.want the same thing. we want this party to operate in the spirit of excellence so that it is reflective to the people it's supposed to serve. >> and on that point -- [applause] thank you. on that point i want to say to [inaudible] because i heard you getting emotional, i know it's a tough job. i know it's a tough a but the reason i didn't want you to go is because i did not want you to go into blockbuster when you are netflix. i want you to have your own table. so i'm not saying that there's no benefit to you being there, but to me as your sister, the benefit is greater to you from the outside, what you can do to help reshape and reform that party. we talk all the time on our team there's an article and i hope you will read it in the harvard business review that came out a few years ago called "understanding new power" and the problem is it's an old power paradigm. we gave you a black stacy versus white stacy example, you have johanna and ayanna, we know that's an old power model. she'

let's talk about who jeff flake is. jeff flake is retiring, retiring republican senator from arizona. has been very critical, highly critical, perhaps a senator next to his former colleague, senator john mccain, most critical of president trump and what he's called his assault on our institutions. some say he's looking at a run for president. a potential republican candidate to vote against a republican nominee for the supreme court. >> well, if he's a potential republic republican. nominating to the court. so, no, but he did speak passionately about the need to treat this process in a fair way, in a nonpartisan way, so, that will be weighing on him, as well. the question is, you know, jeff flake is somebody who has absolutely no loyalty to the president. i mean, as you pointed out, he's been highly critical of the president, but the president has vilified flake in incredibly harsh ways, so, it's not somebody the president can call up and say, support my nominee. this will be a decision he'll make on his own. >> judge k

third woman, who is accused brett kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.ks about him being a teenage parties where he pressed himself up against girls and indeed tried to remove their clothes. that follows accusations of two other women, who will give evidence the senatejudiciary committee. brett kava naugh evidence the senatejudiciary committee. brett kavanaugh denies all of us. he is called the latest allegations ridiculous and like something from the twilight zone. the pressure is now in some ways on donald trump, who is watching all of this from the sidelines. but today ata this from the sidelines. but today at a news conference in new york, he stood by brett kavanaugh. his pick of the supreme court. he suggested that democrats were using as politically. i think when you really look at it all, it will not change any of the democrat's mines. —— democrats' mind. they have destroyed a man's recuperation and they want to destroy it even more. i think people will see that in the midterms, what they have done to the family and to these children, these beauti

but who he loved and who loved him anyway and who shared higher values with him, and it's a reminder that it's not just about right and left but that there are universal values that we all share. and i think john mccain, who planned all of these ceremonies down to the final detail, this is something that he wanted us to remember this week. >> we're watching the mccain family there line up all together to process into the cathedral. cindy mccain there with her son, jimmy, escorting her. we were talking about the former presidents. you saw a moment ago former president bill clinton, vice president al gore gathered there as well to pay their respects. and i remember, bob, you needled mccain about hillary clinton calling him her favorite republican. >> so, i asked him the obvious -- it was just the obvious question -- well, is she your favorite democrat? and he said, is this show being blanked out in arizona? >> right. >> well, we're watching now as they open up the hearse to bring in that flag-draped coffin into the cathedral. and it is, again, a ceremony that the senator himself helped

people who worked there. and it just made all the difference to the people that i spoke to that wanted to get clean and sober. they knew they had a place to go, and had people that supported them and respected them, and would help them when they needed the help. such a major difference in terms of the before and after photos, the look, the conversations. this is something that i know will make a difference. what we're doing right now isn't working, and i know it makes people uncomfortable. it makes me uncomfortable, but i feel like here in san francisco, we have to be willing to try new things. just because we don't want to see people shooting up, and we don't want to see the needles on the street doesn't mean it's going to disappear without us taking action to get to a better place here in our city. so it's going to take a lot of work, and this is one tool that is going to be so significant in helping us here in san francisco with state laws that get in the way of real progress. and so i want to thank our le

backlash comes from people who are generally, who are genuinely, fearful ofly, change. more often it's manufactured by the powerful and the privileged, to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep us helps themcause that maintain the status quo and keep theirpower and keep privilege. you happen to be come of age during one of those moments. it did not start with donald trump. he is a symptom, not the cause. [applause] capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years. a fear, an anger that's rooted but also borne out of the enormous uphelpfuls that upheavals have taken place if your brief lifetimes. the way, it is brief. when i heard amari was 11 when i he's startednd now a company, ha! that was yesterday.

i am glad that you guys are here and i'm happy for everyone who has signed the letter and everyone who has tried to sign the letter when they're not alumni and it's been really sweet and wonderful. >> thank you. >> i want to thank these strong courageous women that are standing with us. i want to thank senator hirano for her amazing leadership and willing to speak truth to power. >> this letter is signed by a thousand women. there are millions more who want to be heard on this very issue. i believe her because she is telling the truth and you know it by her story, by the fact of her therapist from five years ago. we have the therapist notes. she told her husband. if people knew that about her a long time ago. they told a friend a year ago before doctor cavanaugh was ever named. these are the hallmarks of truth. these are the hallmarks of someone who has to be believed because she fears of this person is confirmed he will do terrible things for american women. she is concerned he doesn't have a character, the integrity come the honesty to be a supreme court justice. i believe her becaus

there is a big distinction between the individual who works for the government who has access to the classified information and reveals it. that person is treated under the justice system very differently than how we would evaluate the media path role in that. jameel: i think the question is why. why should we deny was a blowers the protections we give to the press in those instances in which the disclosures are in the public interest? obviously there is going to be a question of some cases of whether they were in the public interest and some he has to make that decision. it has to be somebody independent of the whistleblower. it does not seem obvious to me that the system we all take for granted right now, which gives the press a certain amount of protection, although i think marty is right that we should not take that for granted -- it gives them section of east as a matter of principle, but denies it to whistleblowers does not seem defensible to me. sanford: a lot of our modern talk about this issue of national security disclosures does come from the pentagon papers case, where th

look, honestly, what we just heard is a man who is ignorant of his own privilege and who is protectingwn privilege. we live in a patriarchal society, we live a culture that values power, dominance, control and aggression regardless of the cost to society and it's harming our boys and men and president trump embodies this masculine society and unfortunately is in a position where he is a role model to young men and his actions are models to young men and it's a very scary time because of that. >> what should he have said? i know off couple of sons. what should the message be to young men and boys? >> really the message should be that we need to raise and socialize our boys to believe in everyone's equality. to value women as equals. to see minorities and value minorities as equals. to value women's stories and women's experiences. unfortunately, we live a culture where women are invisible in some and in many instances. where women aren't the protagonist of their own stories. where women aren't the central piece of the news. so when a woman comes forward and shares her story, her experie
