with clarencey thomas about the possibility >> me, how did you get to clarence thomas? >> i was introduced by a mutual friend. >> were the member of -- was the mutual friend a member of the law from work -- where you worked for to mark >> yes. >> you had expressed to mr. hardy you would like to move into government or out of practice? are you specific in what you wanted to do with mark >> i told him only i was interested in pursuing something other than private practice. activities the office of civil rights at the time were pretty controversial. heard testimony about the fact it was under court order to change its practice for carrying out its duties. some have suggested mr. thomas job ine an exemplary changing things. some have suggested otherwise. did the controversy surrounding the office detract from your interest in taking this job, or did you consider it? ms. hill: i certainly considere! it. i considered the fact that there was talk about abolishing the office. i considered all of those things, but i saw this as an opportunity to do some work that i may not get a

did you report to anyone else thomas at the time? prof. hill: i reported only to judge thomas. hairman biden: so at the department of education, your whole and immediate supervisor thomas?e prof. hill: yes. chairman biden: and what was your title? attorney advisor. chairman biden: attorney advisor. to interact reason with judge thomas in that the ity very often during day? prof. hill: we interacted regularly. chairman biden: did you attend thomas? with judge prof. hill: i would attend some of the meetings, but not all of attended.gs that he chairman biden: perhaps you would be willing to describe to routine ttee what a working with be judge thomas. prof. hill: well, it could -- i m not sure there was any such thing as a routine work day. some days i would go in, i might be asked to respond to letters that judge thomas had received, i might be asked to look at memos that had come from the various offices in the office for civil rights. if there was as meeting which judge thomas needed to attend, that he wanted someone there to take information or to help him with information, i

judge thomas: no i didn't. sen. heflin: on television? judge thomas: no, i didn't. i've heard enough lies. today is a day that is high among the days in our country. travesty. you spent the entire day destroying what it has taken me 43 years to build and providing a forum for that. heflin: we have a responsibility. involved, i had nothing to do with anita hill coming here and testifying. senator heflin: we are trying to get to the bottom of this. and, if she is lying, then i think you can help us prove that she was lying. -- that she was lying. judge thomas: senator, i am incapable of proving the negative. it did not occur. senator heflin: well, if it did not occur, i think you are in a position, with certainly your ability to testify, in effect, to try to eliminate it from people's minds. judge thomas: senator, i didn't create it in people's minds. this matter was investigated by the federal bureau of investigation in a confidential way. it was then leaked last week into the media. i did not do that. and how many members of this committee will like to have the , an

justice thomas: oh god, we had a hoot. when i arrived he said, you know, clarence, i was thinking that when a new member of the court came along that was more conservative than i was, i was going to leave. i think i'm going to hang around. [laughter] oh, gosh. we had a blast. i would tell them, i will sit on the edge and you can run through the inside of me, you know? [laughter] [applause] so, my job was to make him look moderate. [laughter] leonard: speaking of which, one person talked about the doctrine of stare decisis, a place where the two of you started on slightly different courses. tell us about your views on that area. justice thomas: i think people rules i mean, people will overstate rules, they will throughout stare decisis. but what is it? to what is it apply? does it apply different the under unwritten common-law verses written law? a written constitution versus a and unwritten constitution? stare decisis makes sense. if something is totally absurd, does it locked down the rules? i thought the best explanation

>> thomas: yes. >> anthony: i'm not doing any damage. i'm gonna go in, i'm gonna look around, i'm gonna see how things work. and i'll leave without disturbing anything. would most hackers say that that's okay? >> thomas: yes. yes. >> anthony: it's in the service of knowledge, that's -- >> thomas: that's okay for most the hackers in our communities. i was lucky, i got into a very big, big hacker community here in shanghai and met a lot of great mentors. >> anthony: started in business at 21? >> thomas: exactly. >> anthony: quite an accomplishment. >> thomas: i didn't go to the college. >> anthony: you didn't go to college? >> thomas: i didn't go to the college. >> anthony: why not? >> thomas: most professors are way behind the, uh, the -- the development speed of the communities. >> anthony: why? your -- >> thomas: because -- >> anthony: your country is so advanced in so many other ways, why in this area? >> thomas: it's a network problem here in china. uh, we have the gfw. it's a great firewall and i

judge thomas: mr. chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, as excruciatingly difficult as the last two weeks have been, i welcome the opportunity to clear my name today. no one other than my wife and senator danforth, to whom i read this statement at 6:30 a.m., has seen or heard the statement. no handlers, no advisers. the first i learned of the allegations by prof. anita hill was on september 25, 1991, when the fbi came to my home to investigate her allegations. when informed by the fbi agent of the nature of the allegations and the person making them, i was shocked, surprised, hurt, and enormously saddened. i have not been the same since that day. for almost a decade, my responsibilities included enforcing the rights of victims of sexual harassment. as a boss, as a friend, and as a human being i was proud that i had never had such an allegation leveled against me, even as i sought to promote women and into nontraditional jobs. in addition, several of my friends who are women have confide

this is from clarence thomas and committee members. the opening statements are from clarence thomas and committee members. >> the meeting will come to order. let me ask the capitol police, if there is not decorum, we will ask those disrupting this to leave. today the committee is hearing charges made against judge clarence thomas who has been nominated to be an associate judge of the supreme court. i want to speak very briefly about the circumstances that has caused us to queen these -- convene these hearings. we are here today to hold open hearings on professor anita hill's allegations concerning judge thomas. this committee's handling of her charges has been criticized. professor hill has made two requests to this committee. first, she has asked us to investigate her charges against judge thomas, and, second, she had asked that these charges remain confidential, that they not be made public and not shared with anyone beyond this committee. i believe that we have honored both her requests. some have asked how could you have the u.s. s

the first reverend aubrey book that spoke about thomas introduced him as thomas the tank engine, wants to come out of the station yard and see the world. we are 73 years late, but let's ta ke the world. we are 73 years late, but let's take him around the world!m isa let's take him around the world!m is a great way to freshen up the series, it gives you a proper story based reasoning for new characters to come in, characters with very different cultural backgrounds to thomas. yet, you are still doing it against the backdrop of this culture of the steam train, however much it may be loved, it's part of history. yes, it's very iconic, the heritage to thomas is very important to us. we remember that the reverend audrey was working right a routing relay. —— writing about a working relay. we wa nt —— writing about a working relay. we want diversity and gender equality for a young audience, but whilst we retain that modern makeover, we want to retain the world of steam. we wouldn't have the fat controller pulling out a mobile phone, but we like the idea of thomas travelling around the

thomas' confirmation hearings were done. two days later they turned over their relatively cursory report, the committee voted on clarence thomas' nomination, 7-7. that meant his nomination was headed to the floor with an uncertain recommendation. what actually broke this story open -- the whole reason any of us even know about these allegations and the controversy that ensued is because of -- nothing to do with the fbi. it has to do with nina totenberg, legendary supreme court reporter, today and frankly for your whole life. she had been the one in 1987 who broke the news at npr that douglas ginsburg had smoked pot. she's the one who blew up the douglas ginsburg nomination. she was also the one four years later who reported that professor anita hill made very serious detailed allegations against judge clarence thomas and whether or not most senators even knew about those allegations, the committee had that information and the fbi had even questioned people about those allegations at the white house's request. so the white ho

that was not a controversial part of the clarence thomas/e thomas/anita hill drama. that was too mundane apart of the process. but for some reason with this nomination of brett kavanaugh to fill anthony kennedy's vacated seat in the court, republicans in the senate and the white house as well they have decided they'll fight tooth and nail to stop that mundane part of the process from happening this time. i mean of course this allegation against brett kavanaugh is going to be controversial. this supreme court nomination was controversial before we got to this allegation against him. so, of course with an allegation like this, he's being accused of attempted rape when he was 17 years old. with an allegation of this nature at a time like this with stakes this high, of course you expect there to be drama and chest pounding and self-serving arguments and theatrics and all of it. fighting to make sure that the fbi does not look into this of his background history, tait is strange thing to say. >> orrin hatch says quote "the fbi does not do investigations like this." >> tha

they spend a whole year, perkins would take material out, thomas wol -- ask thomas wolfe to write a couple of sentence transition between the cut part and the other part of the book. and wolf would go home, write 1,000 more words and bring them in the next day. the scene about the death of his father is a great example of that it's seen through the eyes of tom's sister and it was so beautifully written that tom's editor just gave up and said we'll just keep this in the book. eliza, this is tom's father speaking, he said, and at the sound of that unaccustomed word a name he'd spoken only twice in 40 years, her white face and warm brown eyes turn toward him with a quick and startled look of an animal. eliza, he said quietly. you have had a hard life with me. a hard time. i want to tell you that i'm sorry. and before she could move from her white stillness of shocked surprise , he lifted his great right hand and put it gently down across her own and for a moment she sat there, bolt upright, shaken, frozen with a look of terror in her eyes, and suddenly these few words of regret and affection

the first book that spoke about thomas introduced him to his son and said, i want you to meet thomas the tank engine who wants to see the world. 70 plus years later without, let's take the world!m see the world. 70 plus years later without, let's take the world! it is a great way to freshen the series. presumably that gives you a proper story based reason for a new characters coming in and for characters coming in and for characters who have very different backgrounds, culturally, to thomas. and yet you are still doing it against the backdrop of this culture of the steam train, which, however much it may be loved, is part of history? it is. it is very iconic. the heritage site is important. we a lwa ys the heritage site is important. we always remember the reverend audrey was writing about working railway. we wa nt was writing about working railway. we want to make it relevant for today's audience. the the gender equality, we think it is very important for the young audience. while we try to retain that modern makeover, we want to retain the world of steam. we wouldn't have the fat c

against thomas. the fbi determined the allegations were unfounded, but thomas' nomination was sent to the full senate. weeks later mpr reported on it and hill testified again before congress. thomas denied the allegations. >> i have been wracking my brains and eating my insides out trying to think of what i could have said or done to anita hill to lead her to allege they was interested in her in more than a professional way. ben: thomas wasn't wrong, there simply was no evidence of the allegations other than anita hill's allegations, by her own admission followed thomas from the department of education to the eeoc, even though she had schedule a job protection. spoke with him on the phone multiple times after leaving the eeoc and said she didn't. she asked for job recommendation and told by aides if she came forward thomas might withdraw his nomination without the process going forward when. thomas was confirmed, the vast majority of americans thought thomas was more believable than hill. thomas was

thomas ‘s huge globally anyway. i mean, it is shown in over 100 countries, dubbed into over a0 languages. through our research, a little boy said that trains go places, thomas is a trend that he doesn‘t go anywhere. we thought, actually, we will keep him where but there is a whole world that he could explore. now that he is a storyteller, the idea is that he could be the eyes and ears of our young audience exploring the world beyond their back garden. young audience exploring the world beyond their back gardenlj young audience exploring the world beyond their back garden. i am intrigued! in terms of poor countries being involved, which destinations are we looking at? -- more countries. the new series is going to china, india and to australia. we had the movie recently, where thomas travelled the globe, five continents around the globe. he went to south america, through brazil, the amazon ra i nfo rest. through brazil, the amazon ra i nforest. lots of through brazil, the amazon rainforest. lots of different places

justice thomas: that would be my second part. this inaugural lecture and i am honored to have been thought of to be part of that. was amber when gregg, he phenomenal law clerk and i remember he and i were working on a case about automatic locks on trains, train cars and none of the other clerks had any interest in it but i remember gregg and i had stacks of books about train cars and the gauge on train tracks and it was one of the most fascinating things. gregg said some things, when he left -- left to come back to back and iame whenber him calling me supreme court justice cornyn asked him to come and talk to the texas supreme court and give some suggestions as to how they could streamline. he thought that was the biggest thing in the world area that was so great. thenlittle did he know justice cornyn would become attorney general cornyn. and asked him to start to become the first sg and he calls me and asks me what do i think. i said what, that is a dream come true and did he do it. he was phenomenal. something that judge jones

clarence thomas is a fighter. i remember meeting with him i don't remember the circumstance but is any of this true? >> know it's not. that's all i need to know. and the day he would respond to the charges of anita hill before he would walk down the hallway into the hearing room. i walked down the hallway with him and there were all the cameras and we can see way down at the end of the hall that there were a chance and noise to be made i thought this will be a tough tough day. as we got closer it wasn't who we saw there like the hearings for judge kavanaugh people screaming to stop those committee hearings from going forward. there were tourist. those that had saved for many years to bring their family here they couldn't get a ticket to the hearing but they knew judge thomas would be responding to the charges and they were at the end of the hall and they started a party to yell out his name we are praying for you. and then to sit down at the chair and confronted the senators.

need to know about justice thomas. first of all, read his autobiography. my grandfather's son. ou will find that it is a intellectually portrayal of his life. it is a tribute to his we call er and to what he american work ethic and diligence and the opportunities that this country offers to people that are always at risk. second, i will refer to a book friend professor ralph ossum wrote called understanding clarence thomas. it goes over his opinions until years ago when his quarter century on the bench that systemic intellectual rigor, fearlessness to the original bound by saying we're the constitution no matter what ome court decisions have said, and the insurance fluences that he's steadily wielded. by ecommends that book saying he's a marathon runner whose stamina has only been career on the s court. in the magazine city journal magnet a well known social at a timer -- magnet makes the same observations justicee influence that thomas has had intellectually on the development of the law and of course my favorite just

voters surged after the hill/thomas hearings. he had higher support among black voters than he did among white voters. so democrats, particularly those up in 1992, a year later looked at that and said a major part of my constituency, voters i'm going to be relying on to get re-elected are for this nomination. therefore, i can't be against this nomination. those were the key votes, democratic votes that actually got clarence thomas confirmed in 1992. now where are we 27 years late centre where are we? we know where it is, the swing votes, we've known all along. on the democratic side, if anybody is going to be peeled off to vote for this, it's the red state democrats. the trump state democrats like manchin. like donnelly in indiana. calculation for them, we show the poll earlier. if it's 34-38 nationally. 34 support, 38 nationally in a place like west virginia, a place like indiana, those support numbers a lot higher. unless those numbers move more significantly in the opposition direction, still that calculation holds. the questi

earlier, ian mccue, the new thomas and friends series producer, told me the thomas revamp will give other children's favourites a run for their money. i think what could the big and poor patrol don't have is trains. when a young audience loved trains. with thomas ‘s global adventure it is a fast paced series than ever before. a new theme song. diverse team. gender equality. great storytelling behind it as well. i think it is a enjoyable show for all. let's break this down and talk about gender balance because my four year rolled a lwa ys balance because my four year rolled always says why are they all boys saving the day rather than girls. what have you done about this? exactly that reason. we know from research that at least 40% of our audience are girls and in the past we have introduced a lot of female engines to the show they have always fallen into the background. so this time around, the big change for us really is we are bringing to make brand—new female engines to the show, and they will become part of the course deemed team cinema will have thomas is still the number one hero

clarence thomas lost 40 votes when he was accused of sexual harassment. how many votes will brett kavanaugh lose after being accused of attempted rape? professor ford will be testifying more than a year after the me too movement which saw fox news host bill o'reilly lose, and harvey weinstein charged with criminal rape and a long list of prominent men, most recently ceo les moonves knocked offtrack, knocked off their career paths. fired on the basis of sexual harassment or some form of sexual assault accusations. after more than a year and a half specifically republican senators susan collins and lisa murkowski, how will they decide that there still should be some safe employment havens left for men accused of sexual assault, and that those two safe havens should be the white house and the united states supreme court? is that what they will decide? we now have the only president in history who has publicly confessed to sexual assault and described his preferred methods of sexual assault. >> i'm automatically attracted to people, and just start kissing the

commissioner thomas? >> vice president thomas: i want to say the flier with all the information on it is fantastic. i wish more of our event organizers did this. >> we do the resident flier the wednesday before and go a block in every direction. so they call us -- me, first, before sfpd. on the back of the flier was an overview of the map. >> vice president thomas: thank you. well done. i think we may need to take your template. >> go wild. >> president tan: it's great that you have this number and contact information accessible. what happens if someone says it's too loud? >> i probably won't be there. i'm navigating the permits. but there will be eight shaw management security there and sfpd will be on site and i will be in contact with alisa, who is the event person at thirsty bear and leon o'toole, our contact at conga. sfpd -- i will call security immediately and they can get in touch with my client or i will call them and they will turn it down. >> president tan: okay, great. any other questions from

justin thomas and hatton and paul casey, three down againstjustin thomas and jordan spieth, they got it back to all square but it was an impressive birdie putt from justin thomas that got them that third point on the board for the us. room for improvement for europe in the four balls this afternoon. a format where, historically, they've done well. and you mentioned the four balls, changes from the captain is going on, have we seen more encouraging signs for europe?” think the encouraging signs for europe and perhaps the european spectators is thatjustin rose has been reunited once again with henrik stenson. they've enjoyed success in the past. taking onjustin thomas. it's all square in that match. a quick turnaround already, as we head into the foursomes this afternoon. rory mcilroy playing alongside mr ryder cup himself, ian porter, one down against bubba watson. as is webb?simpson. sergio garcia, a contentious wild card pick, playing alongside rookie alex noren. it's all square against phil?mickelson and bryson dechambeau. molinari and fleetwood a re and bryson dechambeau. molina

also for thomas bjorn, his wild—card selections. we know sergio garcia will there were question marks whether he should have been in the tea m whether he should have been in the team following his poorform, but he justified that today putting another point on the board for team europe. let's hear from thomas bjorn now. incredible afternoon for your. when we have not really had since gleneagles i guess. you know, there we re gleneagles i guess. you know, there were a couple of times where we threaten to have a great session that did not really materialise, but to see all blue on the board this afternoon is awesome. these guys have an opportunity to go and do stuff. and they came out really strong this afternoon. you know, this is one session of five. so we're happy with that, but we go back and we regroup for tomorrow. thomas bjorn looks happy. but fort furyk there will be some tough conversations. we already have the pairings, don't we? yes, we do. difficult conversations as you say. there might be some disappointed that he did not
