things like Ãbtrump was Ãb i'm sorry, kavanaugh. [laughter] was inspired by reading the brethren in terms of coming a judge and he listens to country music sort of who he is and now as a person that kind of stuff is good. it also just the way in which republicans were working behind the scenes which is something we were able to get at somewhat but we certainly were interested in we wanted to really do the tick-tock of this of how everybody was getting ready for these hearings and then preparing i feel like they had a lot of good stuff on along those lines. unfortunately they are so clearly partisan in terms of they have a clear agenda and make no bones about it. i think that is still unfortunate in that you can't just take their book on the merits of writing a dispassionate book because they have a real estate. >> from what we understand they did not call christine blasey ford and ask her comments on the things about her in the book. >> i have one more question before i do i want to present m. after we finish here robert and kate wi

judge kavanaugh, now-justice kavanaugh, was narrowly confirmed on a largely party-line vote. but it was a memorable fight, so why did you two choose to retell this story in a book-length form? >> guest: carrie and i were both involved in the confirmation battle, working on the confirmation, covering it as journalists. we knew that we had a good story here, we knew that we had good access, and we wanted to lay it down, get the record down. and so we interviewed more than 100 people including the president and various other people at the white house, supreme court justices, people in the senate, and we are so glad we did because this was something that gripped the nation last year. and when you're in the chaos of it in the moment, it's worth reflecting on after the dust has settled about lessons to learn from it, what were some of the things that happened behind the scenes, and we're really glad that we got to do it. >> guest: that's true. i think for me in particular, i saw the remay of many of the events from the types of attacks even going on before the confirmation got craz

i'm starting to wonder if kavanaugh even ups what parties are. shows up to his grandma's birthday party -- happy 90th, grandma! no, brett! we said bring your famous "dip"! ( laughter ) ( applause ) if it's true, it would explain why kavanaugh wanted to be a supreme court justice. he gets to wear a robe all day. easy access! the job he should have should be an astronaut. it would be a disaster if he was to meet aliens -- join us at our welcome party. did someone say party? no! ( laughter ) as has become normal in the age of trump, reactions to this story have become as partisan as everything else. >> this new report prompting democratic candidates for president to call for kavanaugh's impeachment. kamala harris who serves on the senate judiciary committee tweeting he was put on the court through a sham process and his place on the court is an insulto the pursuit of truth and justice. republicans saying democrats need to move on. >> tropical storm nobody they don't want time peach and at some point they just have to let the anger go. >> trevor: yea

kavanaugh, do solemnly swear. >> reporter: now almost a year after justice kavanaugh was sworn into the supreme court, house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler is calling for a renewed inquiry. >> we're going to start looking into the adequacy of the investigation, upon which the confirmation was premised, when the fbi director comes before us next month. >> right. >> and the president has asked the doj to come in and rescue kavanaugh, but, of course, the doj is not the personal attorney for the president or any supreme court justice. now, a supreme court spokeswoman said that justice kavanaugh had no comment on the new allegation against him or the calls for impeachment coming from some democratic candidates for president. and wolf, only one justice has ever been impeached. that was way back in 1805, and that justice was never actually removed from the bench by a vote from the senate. wolf? >> all right. jessica, thank you. joining us now, senator richard blumenthal. he's a democrat and serves on the armed services and judiciary committees. i'll talk about justice kavanaugh in a

kavanaugh declined to comment to nbc news, and kavanaugh delivered a broad denial of misconduct during his confirmation hearing last year. >> you can imagine this triggered a lot of reaction. here's how 2020 democrats are responding to it. elizabeth warren, kamala harris, beto o'rourke, julian castro have called for kavanaugh to be impeached. joe biden, amy klobuchar have called for further investigation. pete buttigieg said if kavanaugh doesn't resign he should be impeached. trump twooeting out now the radical left democrats areft brett kavanaugh again talking loudly out of their favorite word impeachment. he is an innocent man who has been treated horribly, such lies about him. brett kavanaugh should start suing people for libel or the justice department should come to his rescue. the lies being told about him are unbelievable. false accusations without recrimination. where does it stop? they are trying to influence his opinions. can't let that happen. the president also suggested that the threat of impeachment is meant to sway kavanaugh's opinions on the bench adding quote, this is

kavanaugh was confirmed any way. why? because not a single allegation against him turned out to be true, not one. and so they their only lasting effect was to traumatize brett kavanaugh's wife and children. yet, the left never to this day apologized for their dishonesty or their profound cruelty nor did they accept defeat. they never do accept defeat. why? because when politics is your religion, acknowledging reality looks like sin and so it continues. over the weekend the "new york times" revived the attacks on brett kavanaugh. the newspaper ran a story excerpt from a book written by two of its reporters that claimed that while in college more than 30 years ago, kavanaugh exposed himself in effect to another student while drunk at a party. it was the flimsiest kind of charge. where did it come from? it came second hand from a single classmate of kavanaugh's, a man who worked as a left wing activist, later worked for the clintons, in fact. 20 years ago, no credible news organization would have run a story like that on the

, ramirez claims that she and kavanaugh were both freshman at yale in the early '80s when kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a dorm room party. she told "the new yorker" she remembers kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. ramirez admitted she was inebriated and there are gaps in her memory, but said she remembers kavanaugh standing to her right, laughing, pulling up his pants. at the time kavanaugh called it a smear and denied it ever happened. still, it's kavanaugh's laughter that his original accuser remembers, too. >> laughter. the uproarious laughter and the multiple attempts to escape and the final ability to do so. >> reporter: christine blasey ford testified last year that when she was in high school, kavanaugh and a friend locked her in a bedroom while they were at a party. she said kavanaugh held her down on a bed. >> he began running his hands over my body and grinding into me. i believed he was going to rape me. it was hard for me to breathe, and i thought that brett was accidentally going to kill me. >> rep

dad congratulated brett kavanaugh's dad on confirmation. if you don't have your own dad behind you, that certainly raises questions. >> tucker: it does raise some questions in the parking lot of the burning tree country club in washington. >> right. >> tucker: lisa, good to see you tonight. >> i could go on. >> tucker: me too. good to see you. richard goodstein joins us tonight. good to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: ily lisa raises an important question. the story comes out over the weekend and the media jump on it. the candidates jump on it. it comes to this conclusion that we need to impeach brett kavanaugh and then the newspaper itself admits in effect that the story is a crock, actually. that the supposed victim doesn't remember it. says she is not a victim. isn't it time then to say oh, wow, now i have new information? i guess we can't impeach him. why isn't anyone saying that. >> let's talk about the facts. the victim hasn't spoken to anybody. the people she should have spoken to were the fbi. the witness who matt stier wh

it's really important that kavanaugh recognizeor this and kavanaugh, in a sense, take the page out of the book of clarence thomas. kavanaugh, remember that these are the people who tried to do t this to him. the good news is he now has a lifetime appointment on the bench, and he has a long time, in a sense, to teach these people a lesson that they will never forget. >> laura: kerry, if the president has another supreme court pick, what should he take from this experience? be careful, moderate judicial temperament? >> you don't negotiate with terrorists. do not give in to this kind of behavior. in fact, he should just keep doing what he has been doing. we need to appoint judges that are going tot e be faithful to e constitution and do continue to vet them for what we all know they need which is courage. any courage on the bench to stand up to these kind of attacks and make it through the confirmation process. if they have done this to kavanaugh, what do you think they do the next time? especially if he is replacing a liberal judge. heads exploding. >> laura: notre dame. notre dame prof

that or even in these meetings setting down with brett kavanaugh as well. senator feinstein could have done it then. >> tucker: part of this is a little confusing pause we know he is not going to be impeached. this is a lifetime appointment. probably nothing you can do about it unless we learn something very dramatic. on the basis of whatee just learned of course is he not going to be impeached. what's the point of this exactly do you think? >> i think there is really two things going on here for the left. one it's about abortion. we heard debra katz who is one of christine ford's attorney said as much. wanted to put an asterisk above brett kavanaugh's name as he -- when he takes the scalpel against roe v. wade, boorlings. kirsten gillibrand said women were going to die as a result of brett kavanaugh if he gets confirmed. we knew this is about abortion and then it's also about intimidation as well what democrats want to do is send a message to brett kavanaugh that, you know, don't take any action against issues like abortion or else. we also saw that with s

the new kavanaugh battle. "the new york times" reporting the supreme court justice was again accused of inappropriate sexual behavior as a college student. now some democrats running for president calling to impeach kavanaugh. but president trump jumping in to defend the justice. kavanaugh's defenders saying the "times" left out key information. >>> the drone oil attack. the state department tonight pointing a finger directly at iran. a coordinated strike from the sky on the world's largest oil processing facility in saudi arabia. >>> the deadly police takedown under investigation. authorities firing at least 154 rounds before killing the suspect. a bystander hit. did police go too far? >>> the wildfire threat in the west as we come on tonight. red flag warnings in several states as high winds fuel new fires. >>> trouble in the tropics. the hard-hit bahamas spared by humberto, but the threat is not over yet. >>> taking the field. the nfl player accused in a new lawsuit of sexual assault, making an immediate im

kavanaugh from his time as an under graduate at yale. nbc news has yet to hear back from kavanaugh. he has denied other allegations previously. for more, let's bring in dakell o'donnell. >> reporter: it's certainly a difficult time to have this issue come back for kavanaugh and his family. and it's politically difficult for everyone involved, because it is, of course, a painful period for the women who have brought these allegations. and it's painful because of the nature of the subject matter. it is also a very animating political issue on all sides. and you can argue that that may get people inspired to act. for kavanaugh, in a practical sense, he has a lifetime appointment to the court, business as usual in many respects. there is the threat of impeachment in a very theor theoretical sense because the real likelihood of that seems very remote as we stand here right now, because the kind of allegation that has really been made here is very similar to what was dealt with in his confirmation hearing, certainly part of the allegation that is being talked about here by democrats in pa

"the brett kavanaugh lynch mob can't let it go. the democrats want to preach this narrative can frame court justices over a new sexual misconduct allegation, so shady, even the newspaper doesn't seem to believe in it. maranda is here right now come right next to me on the mezzanine. welcome to the program for the first time. why did you call this latest allegation against kavanaugh "shady?" >> it is. "the new york times" has walked back to me. they have admitted that this so-called new allegation, the victim doesn't recall it and doesn't want to talk about it. did not even talk about it to the reporters. the so-called witness, alleged witness to these incidents 35 years ago with brett kavanaugh who has done mike was supposed of expose himself to a young female student who can remember, the witness to that is a clinton connected lawyer who would not talk to the journalist either. this is just not a story, and it is pure and simple journalistic malpractice for "the new york times" to dress it up as if it's a fresh allegation against

word over kavanaugh. so you don't have a perfect comparison in the sense of the believability that when you look at the favorability of thomas after the anita hill hearings it's a different picture from last year. >> people have asked did you speak to justice kavanaugh? is we were on our way to walsh in ten -- washington but wete couldn't agree on the terms we felt comfortable with was that he didn't feel like we could. >> do you want to tell us about the disagreement? schenectady debated whether to talk about this but it is what it is. he wanted us to say we haven't spoken to him. he even went to negotiate the phrasing of that where we are willing to say nothing, not to talk spoke to port our sources if you wanted a lion and mayor saying we did not and we felt like misleading the readers in a book that deals with issues of truth that would probably not be a good step forward. >> interesting. speak to the microphone went out. >> he said he had t we had to he in there saying that we didn't speak to him, bu

kavanaugh was confirmed any way. why? because not a single allegation against him turned out to be true, not one. and so they their only lasting effect was to traumatize brett kavanaugh's wife and children. yet, the left never to this day apologized for the

there is a cloud over brett kavanaugh that will be there -- >> there is a cloud over brett kavanaugh thatt will be there forever. john. >> this is the real agenda that's going on behind this, it is not about standing up for women's rights, this is about peoples. who want to deny the results of the 2016 election. president trump says he would apoint conservative justices like brett kavanaugh, the tems can't stand that so they're triping to undoing the election and undo the people he puts on the bench. this is a misuse of the subpoena power to attack and judiciary and browbeat politically justices to try to get them to vote the way they want. this is something that we in our country have reject since the jefferson administration and the democrats want to turn the impeachment power back to a club to beat up our federal judges, that is something that would end the rule of law. >> i keep saying it is shocking but given what we were all discussing a year ago, it shouldn't be shocking at all. we had that speckle on capitol hillll that was really about shw boating for a lot of the senators o

there's a new allegation of sexual misconduct from kavanaugh's yale years. details from two "new york times" reporters. they also say they have new cooperation for an allegation that surfaced during kavanaugh's confirmation last year. >> we have seven corroborating sources, including two class mates from kavanaugh's year at yale. >> justice kavanaugh is declining to comment for now, although he has adamantly denied all allegations of sexual assault in the past. >> i've never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school, not in college, not ever. >> kavanaugh declining to comment ask now president trump is certainly commenting, standing by his pick to sit on the supreme court. i want to start with stephanie gos with an exclusive interview. steph, to you first, it's important to note that "the new york times" now points out friends of the student involved in the new allegation say she does not recall the incident. >> and that's real a point that's made in the book, which i have read. now, the details of this allegation are that a male fellow student at yale c

cory booker, brett kavanaugh should not be a supreme court justice. julian castro, he should be impeached. the correction here, antoine, when we're talking about a democrat, the same voices would say this needs to be investigated further. when you're talking about brett kavanaugh, they say kick him off the court right now. >> well, rob, again, i will you to what i said is carry-forward from kavanaugh's historic hearing. four of those people who you listed on the screen are u.s. senators who in some way, shape or form participated in the conversation before, in the hearing before. be the to i think was in congress when kavanaugh was sworn in. castro was different. i think in these situations, the facts are very important. you have to follow the facts. i think vice president biden and amy klobuchar took a safe approach, some would say they didn't go far very quickly but i think they took a pragmatic approach. rob: they certainly did more so than the others. let's take a look at the president on this. brett kavanaugh should start suing people for lie l b

i don't know brett kavanaugh. but i was a secret service agent at the white house when a lot of people who did know him were there who i have spoken. to say brett kavanaugh is not only a good man, he is a great man. i can't vouch for him personally but i can vouch for the people to know him. what is happening to this guy is a disgrace in this country it. is an embarrassment. this guy has to go to his church and look at his fellow members of his church and family while these reports are being written about him in the paper. this is a disgrace. brian: i just think it's important for people to understand they wrote the story and then they amended the story but they stick to the story and the quote was the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the episode. now, this is all part of a book. we all know the newspapers oftentimes will take an excerpt from a book and they will say it's a big book and excerpts whether it's kiddy kelly or andrew pollack who was just on and the "new yor

, i mean, they never interviewed kavanaugh. they never interviewed christine blasey-ford. they never interviewed 25 names deborah ramirez gave them to corroborate her claims. reporters now later, less than a year later working on this, are able to, in fact, find seven different witnesses to corroborate her claims. fbi never bothered. all of this is prompting a revisitation of the kavanaugh confirmation debacle which happened roughly this time last year. it's resulting in new calls that kavanaugh should, perhaps, be impeached from the high court. for among other things lying under oath during his confirmation process including about some of these sexual assault allegations. one of the prominent democrats who's now making that call that kavanaugh should be impeached for lying under oath is california senator and democratic presidential candidate kamala harris. and she joins us next. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. you wanna see som

kavanaugh adamantly denies the claims. joining me with all the details is nbc white house correspondent kelly o'donnell. this really appears to be a major new development. what is the latest you're hearing. >> reporter: if everyone remember whz brett kavanaugh first came on to the national scene and his confirmation hearing was so divisive because of allegations back during his high school and college years some 30 plus years ago of being too aggressive with sexual interactions. brett kavanaugh denied any -- claims made by another woman who was a classmate at yale. that didn't really develop into a full part of the investigation of the senate at the time. here we are more than a year later. and there is a new book that examines the kavanaugh confirmation. and there is new reporting from nbc news that goes back, as well, and looks at some of the allegations from that time. nbc news, our colleagues have been working on this and have been able to find that there were other instances, another allegation separate from what we k

brett kavanaugh was confirmed and he was done. he had done his part. he had no interest in revisiting it. >> in the article you say brett kavanaugh didn't agree to an interview because you couldn't agree to terms to the interview. what terms did he want? >> we had back and forth with the supreme court spokesperson about this. ultimately he wanted to be able to have a say that he declined to comment for the book and we weren't comfortable doing that if we were going to find a meeting with him. >> to deborah ramirez, this story is a cultural story. it's kids from different backgrounds who found themselves at yale. she felt disconnected from the start, and then this experience, as she tells it in the book, completely changes her sense of her position at yale with these people. >> and i think what's important is that, it was important for us to flesh out her story because, one, it was never fully explored. she never testified and we never had the chance to hear from people who were trying to reach the fbi who had corroborating evidence to the extent that t

kavanaugh with his stuff, right? so a chorus of 2020 candidates scrambled to be the first to insist that now they have the goods and he must be impeached. but then the "times" dropped another bombshell updating its reporting with an editor's note explaining the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the incident. that's a very important element to include in this story if you want to make any attempt at telling the whole story here. so, in a moment. authors mollie hemingway and carrie severino who wrote the first book on the kavanaugh hearings but first our chief breaking news correspondent with the back story here trace gallagher. >> martha, let's begin with the man making the allegation. you mentioned his name is matt stier a former yale classmate of brett kavanaugh. the "new york times" article describes stier as someone who, quote: runs a nonprofit organization in washington. the "times" left out that stier worked for president bill clinton's defense team during the white wa

once kavanaugh was confirmed, his work was done. once he was on the court, he had no interest in making this a public issue. >> in terms of your reporting and journalism, you confirmed his account with what you say are two government officials. >> we have several senators' offices who were made aware of this at the time. >> it was also written in documents in letters that dr. ford prepared for the fbi and others have heard about it as well. >> and the fbi just opted not to -- >> not to follow up. >> not to follow up. not to go down that road. >> right. >> which was consistent with a lot of -- this was a circumscribed investigation and they decided not to include the max stier allegations. >> christine blasey ford got so much attention because she testified during his confirmation hearings. during that hearing there was a feeling of, if only we could talk to her friend who she went to the party with. surely the friend could corroborate or deny what happened at that party or her memory of it. you did talk to that friend. is it fair to

judge for such and judge kavanaugh. great men. the most important thing a president does, and i disagree with this by the way. i disagree with a lot of things, because i think the most important thing is a military and protecting our country. [cheers and applause] if you listen to the so-called vessel tell you what, why they elite? they do better than we do, we have better houses and better everything. and then they say, the elite. the super elite. i have always taken offense when somebody said, president trump is tired of listening to the elite. and i still know, i'm more elite than them. [cheers and applause] if we go by the old standards, better houses and better schools, made a much more money, lived a better and made more money and then i decide, to run for president. and i will be honest, what we have to put up with from these people and others, is the single most best decision i've ever made of. could not be happier. i could not be happier. after years of building up other countries, we are finally building up our country.

once kavanaugh was confirmed, he was done. that's why he hasn't talked about it. >> did you look into the fbi investigation. to what degree did you find that they've spoke people these book two. i think that so many people felt frustrated by this process thought that that was unfinished business. i think basically what you have here is they wanted to the cup republicans wanted to fast-track, it was very much work on his mission to get it done and get it done before the midterm and before the court resumed. so they had no interest in dragging it out any further on the other hand you have a culture enemy to moment that has these close allegations i think they need it to at least do some kind of dutiful thought to additional look into these allegation but they also didn't want it to be as alien, calling it a fishing expedition that went on indefinitely. so they kind of established a very circumscribed investigation that was directed by the president. thus for the orders came from. i think you are actually a lot of confusion there

why did they not speak to christine blasey ford or kavanaugh? that must be the first investigation the fbi never talked to the accuser or the accused. >> tucker: i can't answer that. i think in the case of christine blasey ford, she didn't want to talk to them. she was clearly -- >> that wasn't a choice of hers. >> tucker: i agree with you. i am certainly not here to defend the fbi on many levels.
