You say that these people were the pillars of the synagogue. talk to us about that. >> not just the synagogue, don. the community. so i personally knew cecil rosenthal. i knew jerry rabinowitz. and i knew rich gottfried. ill start with rich. rich and i were colleagues. we work at a federally qualified health center, community health center that is dedicated to serving everyone regardless of their income, regardless of what they look like, how they pray, the problems they may have encountered in ...

Theres no corroborating evidence for any of the accusers now. but maybe in that fbi report, theres something. i dont know. but do you think that any of that matters, and what is to prevent any senator from going to the senate floor and reading the reports out loud? >> reporter: it would be a surprise and a definite break into quorum. theres no question about it. look, i think one of the issues that senators have been trying to figure out to answer your second question first is if this is all to ...

For the pause in the hearings? >> i think that what lindsey graham is doing is trying to get out in front of this in a different way. because we see the call of lots of republicans saying, you know, this is 30 years old. this doesnt make any sense. but now hes saying im willing to listen. and i think that theres going to be this growing quorum of people saying she needs her day to state her story. thats whats really important here. so she needs to have the ability to say this is what happened to...

To believe me they wont give them the quorum the first time. >> the first time but it would be hard to imagine them holding out for a long time. david chalian, i thought it was telling, the first words out of dianne feinsteins mouth there, she was saying were staging a silent protest yet were going to attend and vigorously question kavanaugh at this hearing. to me that illustrated how little power democrats really have. >> as nina said, this is what you do when you dont have the votes. when you ...
