Using the comedy central In October, two thousand eighty probably said, rose World news headquarters in New York. This is the daily
with Retinal here tonight and caught up NBC nightly news left the whole Jazeera everybody. I know I know I know, there's not much news these days, but we'll find someone to talk about will buy something. First, let's catch up on today's headlines. You know those emergency emerge that you give your phone like three m, sometimes is the missing child. Sometimes it's a natural disaster will now
it could be something worse. Americans nationwide will risk even alert on their cell phones from President Tromp, but it won't be. A personal message: it's the first test of a national presidential alert system will lead any president issue, a warning about a crisis that could include the missile launched by another country at the? U S or us soon army. This is trumps dry. You realize is a tweet. He can force everyone's read write like your phone will be like I'm on Fox in France seven a m enjoy oh and also its tanamis. Coming sad, play. Frankie Frankie. I am glad that they didn't give this to President Obama cuz. I would have taken ten minutes to read it: You knew the Miss Alice coming my fellow Americans moments ago, and we did with
I don't know why you, the messages are in these acts, and I don't know how that works, but I think you know one of the one of the things I most worried about is that trump disaster alerts will hopefully lead to more casualties because half the country hates him so much though refused to evacuate as a protest. I'm not leaving those floods zone until he released as these tax returns, who is moving on Amazon said it will be raising its minimum wage for all employees to fit in dollars an hour, and I think that is great new. It also means that Jeff Baisers went from having all the money just most of the money, and the timing of this is really interesting. Z, Amazon announces higher minimum wages where everyone, just as they unrolled they knew cashier. This stores yeah that's what they ve done. What you doing, I was only like. That's all agreed, you pay our cashiers fifteen dollars. An hour is the right.
To do and then almost like, but you just don't have cash? Is that, like all look at the rules, are giving out ass, she is unlimited. Maximum whether by moving onto entertainment, news netflix, do you want to know what happens next turn to pay? Seventy three netflix, reportedly developing choose your own adventure style programming that would actually allow people to pick the store line of a show Netflix to anthology black me are said to be the first programme planning and interactive episode for its fit season. This, in December a more choice on them, Ex already spent four hours from choose? What I'm gonna watch now have to spend another four hours. Choosing the plot- and to be honest, I don't actually know how I feel about this idea. On the one hand, I don't know if I want to stress of having to choose how the story goes. You know, like now James Bond,
need my help to defuse the bomb is like which why a troublemaker don't know James. I was one of networks and chill on the upside, though you don't have to worry about. Sport does anymore because it'll be like, I can't believe the monster killed. Bargain stranger thing you like. Maybe your story, my burden, they are Mary Lazarus. Let's move on top story, Brett Cavenaugh Supreme Court in Germany and worlds- wrist calendar enthusiast. In addition to the sexual assault claims against him, people zeroing in on another reason, cabin or may not be fit for the Supreme Court, and that is honesty along with a complexion that looks good in black honesty is one of the things you most want in a Supreme Court justice and there are more and more size of Kevin. I might not have enough of it, especially when it comes to these history with drinking, because Cavanaugh me make it seem like
had a casual relationship with alcohol, but it turns out the two of them were: probably more than just friends. Cabinet has acknowledged, sometimes drinking too much as a young man, but former classmates of governors are saying he's being misleading about how much you drank back then and his belligerence when he did a college com. Made of Cavanaugh Charles Chad, Luddington said: Cavanaugh, try to deceive the Senate by downplaying his drinking habits. Luddington. As on multiple occasions, he saw Cavanaugh staggering from Apple consumption, Charles letting didn't want the Yale with break out. In our says they one last occasion, I purposely socialize with bread, eyewitness and respond to a semi hearthrug mark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing beer and the man's face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail down,
Cavanaugh. My might not be fits of servants Supreme Court, but I think we should nominated to serve in the next season of Jersey. Shore is sounds right because the stories pretty wild it turns up in nineteen. Eighty five Cavanaugh unease friends got into a bar fights that got so rowdy the police got cold in, and the police filed an official report and here's the thing it's one thing to get into a fight. It's another thing to get into a fight with the cops are called and that a fight with the cops, are called on a white guy. Do you know how bad a fight has to be for the police to get an Ivy league school in the eighties like rich white male heyday, I mean every decade as but no one was extra good for them and personally, I would never want to see bring Cavenaugh get into a fight. You know we super will be like hey bro
you wanna programme, because I swear I'll. Let you know what I did. I just iranian Mcgowan. First September, twenty five September, twenty per drinkin, do raise at the borders of visual, thereby girl. I had please said, Outbreak Havana, Mister. Like beer, mister, I might have exceeded the legal limit. A little bit allegedly Garland show Bob rule we hit. Someone in the face with his drink in the reason cabinet was fighting is probably one of the greatest stories of all time, loving, to tell me that they are times he witnessed Kapital getting into a bar brawl. After a Jew, be forty concert. They saw someone they thought of the badly singer. The man said he wasn't until the three of them to stop. Look
at him, Javert apparently became belligerent. Read them said you for something. Through the bit through the ice at the guy. The guy. Understandably, even though he had been aggressive and response found. That was little one step too far, so here to swing bread at that point, Chris Dudley, who had his drink in his hand, proceeded too smashed up against the guy's head. Ok, now, if you're lost its probably because you're not because you see this is gone from a stock status Supreme Court hearing to a wild one thousand nine hundred and eighty five story, where future Supreme Court nominee and his friend Dudley a future NBA player got in a fight with some guy because they thought he looked like the lead singer of the reggae band Ub40.
Wait another story so where you can make up any detail and it would be believable if you like and then Cavanaugh Personal off, and I was right not to become the rule of IRAN. You don't notified by the way. I also feel bad for the lead. Singer view be forty right, because everyone covering the story just keep referring to him as the leads of you before he has a name. You know it's you be. I'm pretty sure like there's a name if you're throwing a drink in someone's base because been not the lead singer of you be forty, you either someone who drank a shit tongue or you're, just a crazy person, is one of the other and then again him raging as a young man. Doesn't it Fi him from serving on the Supreme Court's bite, but brick cabinet lying about it to the Senate is what should be of concern and for more on this and the legal ramifications of all.
We turned to a man who has been represented by many lawyers. Michael cost. Every On the one hand, on the one hand you have read cabinet who says that sometimes he had too many barriers, but on the other hand, you have all these witnesses who say that he was a belligerent, drunk drink way too much. What do you make of this well Trevor this term too much gets thrown over hounds too much it. It's all a matter of perspective. If a dad posed ten pictures of his kid on Facebook, that's Sid are normal. But if I posed ten pictures of his kid suddenly it's too much and I have to leave the park, is the same with bread, cabinets drinking ok, but as a Supreme Court nominee Cavanaugh has a duty should be honest, and it seems to me that he was a bit disingenuous about what kind of a drink he was sure of her. I want to say this guy
because you're my boss, but what a dumb ass thing to say, you can't accuse Brett Kalvanov, hiding the truth because up he was as drunk as everyone says. He was then we can expect him to remember what happened because Sober Brett can't remember the things drunk Brett. Did they meet briefly? around beer number, five, they shake hands and they go their separate way. So you're, then that we can't ask him questions about things that he was too drunk to remember, see now you're getting it. We can hold Bruce Banner accountable for fight started by the hall one is a mild mannered middle age, white guy in the others, and aggressive person of color, If Congress put Bruce Banner
under oath and ask them doktor banner. Have you ever smashed anything he'd have no idea because Bruce Banner doesn't smash hawks ouch, sober or drunk under the law. Red Cavanaugh would be held accountable for anything he did and change. That is I guess the Supreme Court in the meantime why the hell is sober, cabin being asked about what drunk cabin. I did the guy who should be understand is the guy who picks a fight with a mob not being zig immorally Where were you not suggest? Yes, let's get Cavanaugh shit faced roar
I can live. A keg of Mattie line have vine steam tap that thing and let ready go to town, and I guarantee you the truth. Will flow right out of a sober guy is embarrassed about what he did when he drank too much but a drunk. I can't wait to tell you all the trouble he got. It actually effectually. A pretty amazing idea across the dont. Give cost of the credit give drunk my The credit. Where are you? Are you drunk and even drinking a work? Why don't you ask me tomorrow
I promise I won't why drunk Michael cost. Everyone support for this by gas comes from see you now a pike serious created by Johnson and Johnson and the American Nurses Association. Nurses are clear this too, the suffering climate change, violence, allergies, the gaps and care. What's her home life, what do you have to eat? They see where things while apart social isolation and loneliness and the risk of being alone at an older age is pretty high, and in addition to having that inside around where it's not game, they frequently have a really good idea about what a solution might look like. I'm shot a butler, I'm a nurse economist and health tax specialist
and I am so excited to share the stories of nurse led innovations that are changing the healthcare game. With see you now download and subscribe to see you now, wherever you get podcast. It is an award winning journalists and Anchor of NBC lightly NEWS would lead to halt and Dateline NBC. Welcome left off welcomes the sharp eyes this. Thank you very much to thank you, Miss desk
that you stand. Is that the thing I do a lot of state? I have a very fancy des, but now they have me stand yeah like is wrong, and I like it. I come home like anybody else. My my feet are killing me right. The days of sitting are gone, my no it's more. You know each project more and I like it. I like you. I like you that, like the uneven away, you're gonna be a language this second, we never know something we have to carry this cool studio will always there's your everyday. When I hear what do we do here right there over there, let's less first congratulate you Oh, you want and Emmy last night I congratulate you for an interview I done with President Obama the night he gave his farewell to the country we travel within the Chicago right went through his favorite. The restaurant in Hyde Park in Chicago sat down and is where you were doing. The enemy of the clock is counting down because we have to get him out of there showing it to a speech. Is nine
experts, but we won and Emmy for it. I'm assuming you won the Emmy for not crying during the interview is that we have been asking this question. I mean this is something that comes up all the time. You know you hear people saying that the rule media, the news, media liberal from even said the other day said all the union's people. I call you democratic liberal Democrats. What wow you respond to the idea that, as as news people, you can report on the news and still have your personal Some are politics that we may or may not Nancy, really a question, as I tell people what time we're living human beings. You know we have feelings about everything, I've opinions about a lot of things, some things I I don't know- and I have said I think it's healthy to sometimes say I don't have to figure out immigration or whatever that whatever it may be, but we're professionals At the same time, they may I enjoy a spirited it. Actual you know, debate through I like to hear smart people talk about issues and you realize is often there's no right answer and that's kind of the attitude I bring to the new set every night, but must that, most of that you know you just can't let it go and
on the other. We have to ride to do our jobs it it's hard when, when your haters are in the White House, because there was a those tweets that present trump sense and this was an in August right where he said what's going on. Cnn- is happening to different degrees at other networks to with one oh He said with NBC News being the worst. The good news is that Andy lack. He is about to be fired for incompetence and much worse. When less to halt, got court fudging my tape on Russia. They were hurt badly. Why such facilities must take. While the put then context, I was actually ghetto slept in forcing opened phone cinema honey, I about by the programme, and you know it is If I did who was at that point, I think it was fifteen months after the inner rights, and they aim to be just a well on the same page is the end
that in many ways has shaped what's happening America right now, you sat on the president's and he basically admitted to firing. James call me because of the Russia Investigation, which has now come to bite him well, he he acknowledged the rush. Investigation was on his mind and then we it was. It was a guy spirited conversation, he there no trick. Questions arise very up front about out why he wanted fired and in the early reports where he thought it was a good interview? How do you not tweet back? when the president trees, you sing you we light as a journal. I you know, that's that's foolhardy gamers as a journalist, you can't get into that because you know do news every day that sometimes makes people uncomfortable will do stories that may challenge your worldview or challenge what you ve always thought, something to be right and have you got in the position of responding to every critic of something he reported.
Would be a ticket out a role? You don't look, so am I gonna get into it with the present United States. Let's talk about the journey. You ve taken on the news. It's been really interesting to see some of the stories that your covering, particularly with regard to criminal, just perform in all, when Meek Mill wasn't prison. You were one of the first and few news programmes that reached out to him in prison. You conducted an interview with him over the phone and then when he came out, you touch space with him again. Why is it so important for you to catch up on these stories? Because I noticed that a specific focus on this, because think there's a moment in time here were both red and blue, both Republicans democratic starting to understand the need for criminal justice reform. That's one of the few things they can talk about and find some common rob? Make no story was there? You know you serve time for crimes who was convicted of, but then the pre got caught and what he thought was a probation trap right did you get your on probation and you do something, and then your back
can ride. You can make we're never get out for more time, and so he was that it was a fascinating story. He had near the celebrity. It of course put this on the down the front burner and you re rice, smote him on the phone, times interviewed him and then There I mean literally there is he came out and I you know he was waste away in a helicopter. He was at the seventy six. First game that day- and we interviewed him within hours of that, but he's one of many, people who have brought a lot of attention to this end and something that I become more more passion about right, utmost your passion in the story, Cover and in the manner you cover the men as well, because you know you, you started taking yourself. From the desk, but have also noticed that you started taking the news to the people which is really interesting, you're embarking on it. On multi state tour right now, we're going around the country speaking to people who you reporting news about, which is an interesting way to do it, voicing the news as being in a place you making its
like the news is where the people actually are. What are you doing you I'm a reporter, some always more comfortable in the field. I always tell YO young journalists that nowadays I want to be an anchor Sunday. So that's great, I said, began to see you know the most exciting. Fulfilling moments in my career have not been sitting at the desk. They ve been out in the field I talked so I do take the broadcasting and road to major storage of hurricanes or attacks or whatever mayo going on, but so are so important to go. Visit communities when nothing horrible is happening. I was local news for twenty years, and you know you have a community and weather was LOS Angeles Chicago. You know yet a community. I speak to the whole country every night and it's important to you now get out of New York City loved here, but some people described as a bubble to get out look at story, that may resonate across the country. We are playing out and the unique way in her eyes. I did so this authority we ve done. This will go next week will be in a different city every night and on doing stories that are important in those communities but again ones that in a may ring familiar to others. Do you find
when you go to these communities that people hunger for the need to be like this That should be seen is that it is not a big thing where they go while less to hold with the National NEWS you're talking to me in a small town that no one really important, because I thy bristle when, when people start thinking of this, this big, authoritative Ankara job like we're on some kind of alter, we're not in our reporters and I'm lucky to be the chief reporter. If you will every night flights, But I want people to know that this the broadcasts we want the broadcast always be relevant to be modern tube, to touch people to cover the stories that their thinking about and and to do that. We really have to have to get out. So it's in. I was it's. It's no brainer for me as a reporter. I liked to be where the people are where the stories are being made, and I think it makes me better than I do
