Base. >> neil: you know what is a final epithet, the friends of brett kavanaugh from high school had to write a letter clarifying the meaning of the term "devils triangle" and with us not a sexual reference. i thought that was a metaphor for this entire thing. >> that sounds about right. you know, the rhetoric and the things that u.s. senators are discussing in public hearings, i cant say weve seen anything like this in recent times. maybe it goes back to the clintons, describing the affair that...

I think what was shocking to me was getting up under oath and with a straight face saying that these things were true when he knew and when a lot of people knew that that was not the case and it was a suggestion that if i just say this nobody will challenge me, that nobody will stand up and take the risk of saying what we all knew to be true. and i think what really got under my skin with this was that really we werent talking about bretts drinking, and we werent talking about his saying bad thi...

Memory of brett was he was on the far edge of this. he was notably heavier in drinking than other people. it was a long time ago. i cant say he was drunk in this state or not. i can tell you my recollection of my experience with him was that he was drunk frequently and it wasnt drunk to the point of having trouble getting up every month or two. it was frequently. i would say with some confidence at least once or twice on the weekends. maybe during the week. >> the important thing there that roch...

Throwing, then the devils triangle. whenever you tried to accuse somebody of something, it was couched in safety language. i didnt see it happen but i heard about it from somebody else. then when the fbi chases it down, theres absolutely nothing there. like flimsy structures in a really bad country, they fall apart at the strongest wind. the other lesson, you have to ask why some people kept their heads down during this, even of the claims became more ludicrous. why didnt anybody share the risk?...

Suggesting something else. usually takes something of pretty sensitive nature for them to redact something. >> you know, i thought a lot about it. i cant think of anything. you know, again, its a very long time ago. its possible that im forgetting something but nothing comes to mind. >> okay. so whatever issues hes talking about, youre not sure. you also said that when judge kavanaugh was asked under oath about certain terms in his yearbook, boofing and devils triangle, he said those were about ...

In which you might hear those words, the way that he described the way they are defined, and the way that they are defined, theyre not interchangeable. so i heard them talking about it regularly. i think that contributed to some of my feelings about the fact these guys treated women in a way i didnt like. but im not a specialist in language. i wasnt the only person who heard it. i was surprised when i heard him say he meant those things. thats not what they meant. >> some people hearing this mig...

Define the phrase devils triangle had no hidden meaning. to quote the end of their letter, it had any sexual meaning if it did in the 80s, we didnt know it. thats what this became. more after this. maine, a town where almost half the population is self-employed. lobster fisherman is the lifeblood of this town. by 2030, half of america may take after stonington, self-employed and without employer benefits. we havent had any sort of benefit plans and were trying to figure that out now. if i had ha...

Whether kavanaugh was accurate about the phrases in the yearbook. >> devils triangle. >> drinking game. that refers to gas. we were 16. >> in isolation, who cares, but that is a pattern of lying under oath while being a sitting federal judge, thats a problem. goes again to what the fbi was able to look at. freshman year roommate saying this. >> i was shocked when i heard that because those words were commonly used and they were references to sexual activities. >> then there was this man who shar...

Special inside knowledge here, but i was shocked when i heard that because those words were commonly used and they were references to sexual activities. if you think about the context in which you might hear those words, the way that he described the way they are defined, theyre not interchangeable. so i heard them talking about it regularly. i think that contributed to some of my feelings about the fact these guys treated women the way i didnt like. but im not a specialist in language. i wasnt ...

It is unbelievable. if you were in college at that time, those words were not uncommon. you know, theyre impolite and rude, but they were used and they were used in a context that was not consistent with what brett said under oath and a lot of us knew it. >> you have specific memories of brett kavanaugh using the word either boof or the phrase devils triangle and havent it not relate to a drinking game, for instance? >> yes, i do. >> so he says that is the case. he says it is a drinking game. th...
