clothes for the press conference. sorry, i borrowed your clothes. is any of that yours? the chest hair is mine. dave, you threw for more than 800 yards in the first two games. you can wear whatever you want in the post game pressor. that is a harvard guy. not what you expect from ryan fitzpatrick. andy scholes. great stuff. thank you. romans. thanks, dave. serious trouble facing the president s supreme court nominee. a vote on the nomination should wait after a woman publicly accuses kavanaugh of sexual misconduct decades ago. and in the aftermath of hurricane florence. hundreds more waiting help as the ongoing threat of flooding remains in the carolinas. is not a screensaver.
sure who is that shaking the president s hand? i can t make out from the back. can you, jeff? i didn t see who that was. i can t see it at all where i am. so i ll have to leave it to you. all right. geoff bennett is in brussels, can t actually see the class photo. craig melvin here in new york city, able to make out all the faces except for that one. i do want to continue our conversation about judge cavanaugh. for the second time in four minutes, i m going to put you on the spot. the crept justices on the supreme court, all of them attended either harvard or yale. judge kavanaugh is a yale guy. you are. if wikipedia is to be believed, you re a harvard guy. why is it all our justices have gone to the most elite schools in this country, and how does that affect the way they might be interpreting our laws?
reform, before that health care. he s with the president on trips. he sits right there by the oval office. looks at everything coming in and out of the oval office. harvard guy, road scholar, son of a road scholar. somebody very involved in the policy making piece of the white house. when we talk about inner circle rob porter is in it. it is significant that he s leaving. it is significant we don t know about his security clearance. it is significant we don t know when he s leaving. the white house talks about a smooth transition. he could be in the west wing a little while longer. phil rucker, does the white house have a vetting problem? i held up one night, the form i had to fill in before i could go to work in the white house, before i could have access to a fraction of the kinds of things that rob porter would have seen as staff secretary. and the better name for people to understand this job is the person who has eyes on the access to the things that the only other person gets t

other trade negotiations here. i believe it s usda. our responsibility if they grow it, we are selling it. they are pro-nafta, you want to see changes. you told the president don t rip it up. no, nafta needs to be modernized like anything 25 years ago. we think it would be bad policy if we withdrew. you told the president that? yes. um. um. brian: mr. secretary, who is the president you know? is he a guy who listens to what you are saying? absolutely. this president is a bold, decisive, focused decision maker but he also leaves a little door open in the back for his mind to be changed. he listens and i think the nafta discussion was a great example of that. are you looking forward to this today? i am, it s going to be a big day. brian: 7,000 people there. secretary of agriculture will do the introduction. i know the president values your insight. thank you. brian: coming up next hour alan dershowitz. maybe ainsley will sing.
