it refers to brett cavanaugh's ambition. he had been positioning himself from back when he was a young prosecutor for ken starr to be on the supreme court someday. his colleagues on the appeal ts court used to joke about whether he was auditioning for the job when he put out another dissent or another concurring opinion. but it's also, in some ways, more important story of the ambition of the conservative movement that was finally brought to fruition with brett cavanaugh. of managing to get a majority on the supreme court. and so when brett cavanaugh's confirmation ran into trouble, conservatives and republicans in the senate were going to do whatever it took to get him across the finish line as one of the main lawyers involved in the confirmation, mike davis, told me cavanaugh was too big to fail. >> why did -- why did this matter to anthony kennedy? >> well, it -- brett cavanaugh has a actually remarkable ability to find extremely powerful mentors. one is just -- one is ken starr, who i mentioned. one is justice kennedy. a

this room would be empty if we had failed brett cavanaugh. brett cavanaugh lived a life that we should all be proud of. he worked hard and the way he was treated was the worst extremes i've had in politics. a lot of people would have pulled the plug on him. mr. president, thank you for not pulling the plug. [applause] and let me tell you why it's important. who would have been after brett if he had gone down? what conservative young lawyer would want to go through this if we had failed brett cavanaugh? so the child was right. when you run and you get reelected one year from now, one of the main reasons is that people in the conservative world believe that you fight for judges. god bless you. [applause] >> president trump: thank you very much. we can say that for everybody here. i don't think any of them -- i know you all very well and i don't think any of you had any thoughts of doing anything different at least in this group. i will say, and that includes mike, at that time we didn't know bill. he came at a good time. it was a tough time. bu

>> you know, the cavanaugh hearings and the political fallout from the cavanaugh hearings are a really contested issue because the biggest -- the biggest likely fallout was -- looked to be in the senate. but the senate -- the incumbent senators who voted against brett cavanaugh and lost were probably going to lose anyway. the most likely person who might've really hurt himself was indiana senator joe donnelley. but probably -- >> lost by a lot. not a little. >> but -- but looking at the others. >> yeah. >> he's the one who you sort of think, well, maybe might've been. so i think that the court is and it should be a galvanizing issue. especially, for those voters. especially now. what this book is about is the 30-year battle that conservatives have undertaken to gain control of the supreme court. to have a conservative court. they finally have that with brett cavanaugh on there. they have five solid conservative votes. so what are the issues of concern to suburban women? yes, they care about healthcare. but they also care about things like reproductive rights. they -- so there's a lot o

. >> jim cavanaugh, as you watch this footage, what did you think? >> it looks like some passersby maybe were in a fight with an attacker or you could have two groups fighting or you could have citizens intervening in an assault. like clint says, motive unknown. i've been to london and worked with the metropolitan police. i've spent a lot of time with them there and studied their violent attacks and firearms related attacks with atf. and just the way assaults occur and terrorist bombings and all of the things they've dealt with in firearms related matters, they have a lot of knife attacks and sharp-edged instruments attacks in england as a whole. much more than we're used to in the united states. we have more prevalence of firearms, they do not. their firearms laws are very strict. so there's a lot of knife attacks. police officers are often attacked with knives, machetes, axes. and it's a weapon of choice. and also as clint said, terrorists have used that weapon as well as firearms, vehicles, bombs. so we don't quite know, chris, how it started. and

i believe i have jim cavanaugh with me. jim also on the line. jim, of course, a former fbi/atf. jim, we've seen this play out time and time again. we're watching these pictures here, left side of the screen. another high school, students leaving. it is roughly 8:25 local time there in santa clarita, california. bottom right of your screen, a number of emergency responders there, number of paramedics. what appears to be a student on a gurney. at this point we're told seven victims, at least seven, their conditions are not known. jim, what are investigators doing right now? >> craig, the critical thing for the commanders on the ground is to stop the killing by locating the killer, the shooter who is, as far as we know now, very active. he's all clad in black, apparently, according to witnesses. is he hiding in the billing? has he tried to make an escape? there's a critical piece from the commanders, is this not an event that is over? is it still going forward? that's what they've got to do. some of these guys, craig, have no escape plan at all. they never come with one. they inten

jim cavanaugh, you've had so much experience with this. you know there can be a lost eyewitnesses, law enforcement included, who are not exactly sure the status of the suspect. >> right. the information flows all around the command post. there's lots of officers there. it's passed to the perimeter teams, you know, out to the investigators. just like pete's saying, sometimes it's a little bit not other totally accurate. the on-scene commander knows there are suicide attempts that fail, bullets graze the head or the chest. they get lodged under the skin. they misfire. certainly it could be so. but you know, it's a point we'll want to flesh out. but if he's alive he can be interviewed and some intelligence can be gleaned to stop the next killing. but the important point is he's not going to kill anyone else. and that's the major point for the moment. the school's still suffering with these students in the hospital in critical condition. it's over -- the for santa cla rclarita, but not america. as you discussed with frank and the fbi executive

jim cavanaugh, erin mclaughlin, that craps that wraps up this hour for me. i'm going to send you to chris jansen in new york. >> good morning. i am at msnbc headquarters in new york. my thanks to stephanie ruhl. i'm going to get you back to breaking news out of london where police are in the early stages of what they're calling an incident on the london bridge. the scene that you're seeing is not the london bridge. it's something called burrow market. it started on a small food market, stalls. it's turned into one of the most popular destinations for locals and tourists, alike, with literally hundreds of food stalls, restaurants, retail. it's just always a packed area of london. of course they have it blocked off now. but you can understand why if there was some sort of threatening incident, immediately there would be concerns because of just how dense it is always with foot traffic, with people there. let's go back to erin, who is -- are you on the scene yet? are you heading toward the scene, erin mclaughlin? >> i was just talking to a police officer there.

stomach supporting cavanaugh. we don't even have that so adam schiff and his team, however, met with there with a whistle-blower, we have had no access to the whistle-blower. never chuckle, we want to know what was the dnc's involvement in the clinton campaign and the involvement in ukraine and why did the ukrainians interfere inr election? wells i have out of the situation with hunter biden, how did he get 80,000 something dollars a month? these are just questions we deserve to have the answer to you before any of the circus is set to begin on wednesday. we should have those answers. >> sean: you have a list of people, including adam schiff, the whistle-blower, nellie ohr, hunter biden, joe biden, will any of your witnesses be allowed to testify? >> as of right now, we have none of our witnesses. look, we even put on -- the new folder. this guy was the democrats first witness but he came in, it didn't go very well for them, he came involuntarily, the transcript or how, why on earth would volker not be there quest

the cavanaugh case as it unfolded was very, very difficult work i wonder whether everything we know, the precision, and it is some precision but there's imprecision and there are not the cooperating witnesses that you wanted in your work on weinstein. i'm asking, would you publish that in the "new york times"? >> i think that was part of why we wanted to write about it. because the weinstein sort into debt being a case in which there was so much overwhelming proof that we felt that we had to -- we had to sort of take on a much harder case. the first thing i would say in answer to your question is that i don't think the fact that christine blasey ford doesn't remember everything about that night is the site of lack of credibility. i would say the opposite. [applause] when somebody, so when somebody -- >> so speedy i'm going to get to the answer to your question. when somebody is willing to acknowledge what they don't remember, we generally see that as a strength. but i think the reason we were so drawn to this is that there are basically three big questions about #me too that are tota

just because it's back in the news, kevin ou cavanaugh accuser christine blase ford. >> when i came forward i was not feeling courageous. i thought anyone in my position of course would do the same thing. i had at the example of anita hill, i had a responsibility to my country. >> laura: over the weekend the aclu gave her it's hero award. joining me now, this is conservative author and willmaker. i will reveal my others in a moment, but who tops your list today? >> i like your list. i had completely forgotten that infantile rhetoric and its back. the middle-aged woman with the voice of a 4-year-old. but yes. top of my list, probably alex for men who would be testifying very shortly. the policy disagreement here can be easily excavated from his own remark. when he said what disturbed him about trump and the phone call was, it would undermine bipartisan support to the ukraine. so the policy disagreement is very simple. he seems to have a ukraine first policy. and it trump has a ukraine first policy. so also on my list, who could forget adam schiff? he's a hero because he is the perfect set up

they lied about the russia hoax and the injustice against justi justi justice cavanaugh. every day they lie when they say they're journalists. they're not journalists. yet, they always want to criticize us. look at fake news cnn and all their phony reporting. well, this guy wouldn't have a job he's so bad at tv. the low-rated sten ographer he doesn't have a million viewers on his show and he's critiquing of our coverage of the impeachment charade calling it a conspiracy theory and maybe you want to look at what politico said on january 11, 2017 and read about alexander talupa and how successful they were in trying to hurt and then they had a guest suggesting president trump is using mind control on his supporters and humpty is taking orders from their fake news chief, fall zucker. the -- paul zucker. the news network channel is like attack the channel are successful. if it wasn't so sick it's actually funny and entertaining to me. to deflect from their own constant lying and conspiracies and own hoaxes, and of course their anti-trump bias every second of the day, they jus

cavanaugh denies the allegations. >>> a public school is reaching out on social media hoping to find affordable housing for some of its teachers. a twitter post said it still helps teachers who are unable to find rental housing. the bay area has the largest disparity between teacher salary and rental housing cost in our state. the average teacher salary is $65,000 and the median rent in the city is $42,000 a year. >>> colleges are considering cutting programs including culinary arts and journalism and facing another $13 million of projected deficits. they may need to cut classes before the spring term starts. they needed cut 100 instructors and counselors. they threatened on general education courses and under english classes and programs. >>> many people are starting their holiday spending. one group of adults is using extreme pressure. we will explain why they tend to go overboard and add to their debt during the holidays. >>> in the last seconds of the game, the san francisco 49ers overcame a 16-0 deficit. the come back that dominated the cardinals. we have highlights and reaction

president trump is responsible here for exposing the real nature of the democrats that we saw with the cavanaugh hearings and now this one. >> laura: that's fascinating and thankfully though, ladies, the helpless former ambassador had a strong man like congressman denny heck to stand up for her. >> i'm angry about how it is the most powerful person on the face of the earth would remove you from office after your stellar service. where is leveled against you constitute bullying of the worst order. >> laura: bullying of the worst order. that's the whole point. they are going after suburban women but suburban women can't be this naive to fall for this. >> it's very patronizing and offensive. she can hold her own. i actually think the president when he criticizes nancy pelosi, it's taking a measure of respect because they are worthy of being criticized. he has equal opportunity critic and you know she took a job, she's a big girl, she put her big girl pants on and she should be ashamed like tammy said for accepting that subservient role. she is not there to be patronize. >> she chose to be in the ar

it did not turbo charge the base like the cavanaugh issue did last year. and what the president did is he personalized the race so much. it is one thing to go in and rescue a struggling gubernatorial candidate and we saw that in kentucky and in louisiana. but he really made it about himself. do this for me. go out and vote for me. send a message to people nationwide and people in washington and that didn't work. >> and the president struggled to convert his basis of support for him and translate that and push that over to other republican candidates. >> obama had that problem, too. it doesn't translate. >> and right. and that is why i think as we prepare for this to head to the senate side, as we expect the house to impeachment president trump, what does that do for republican support there? the president has been relying on them and relying on fact he has the base, republicans know they need his base so that is something to think about. >> do you think it is a wash. >> i think it is a little bit of a wash. but the danger for trump is that people are just

i have taken on jeff sessions, bill barr and brett cavanaugh. i will take on donald trump. we need somebody to build up a coalition, not only in the interest of winning, speaking to people within the beauty of diversity who we are and knowing we have more in common than what separates us but building a coalition and beauty who we are in diversity and healing our country. i have lived in many places and many cultures and i know i have a unique ability to build back up the obama coalition and unify the country and the party and so important at this time. >> thank you, kamala harris for being with us. >> a quick programming note. tonight, another presidential candidate, senator corey booker joined "kasie d.c.," to talk about his debate performance and how he plans to gain more traction after not qualifying for the december debate at 8:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. >>> coming up, did you know rudy guilliani is now in the insurance business? i'll explain next. ss i'll explain next. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise.

conservative jurist believe that president ought to have such power that they might not overturn it cavanaugh may not overturn of given a chance. robert probably wouldn't. but if they did, they would be justified doing it because the left when they initially decreed it made things up through these so-called --hr and the constitution that weren't there to define a right of privacy that didn't exist as such in the constitution. so they just made it up and they have to make it up and you discuss this in detail in your book as you mention. but it is because they ultimately don't respect in constitution and danger in that constitution is not just abortion. not just their culture of death had had is very important. the tables are -- the judiciary as it is evolved since the major check on overreach by the other two branches and if the judiciary won't exercise that authority, then the other branches can get out of control. hasn't this been demonstrated particularly during trump two and a half three years in office with these obama appointed sorry chief justice are obama appointees where you have effo

. >> judge cavanaugh in the department of the navy opinion refer to that as an expert view and the court should give it appropriate consideration . >> to you all is the expert agency with respect to appropriations law and that's why all those cases often refer to gao opinions about appropriations questions so gao aspects expressly said the approval of a lower amount by congress is not a denial and that transfers several agencies not just dod under this authority had been approved by gao in the past where there had been a lower -- >> not yet the denial of a greater amount. so it's fascinating to me how these briefs are written and how the case is written. one starts them almost pre-election with the president promising a board of law and it's going to cost however billion and congress refusing to expend that many over and over it's to pay for that government shutdown, ultimately some compromise, some lesser amounts, some smaller piece and then you start with the item has to be specifically requested by dod and specifically turned down, it's almost like you're lying to each other. >> i don

. >> i think the model for what's going to happen this week is the cavanaugh hearings. it was a never-ending parade for about a week and a half. ♪ hi, my name is sam davis and i'm going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance. but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits and medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2018, humana medicar

london, nbc news chief global correspondent bill neely and former special agent and contributor jim cavanaugh. bill, can you give us the latest? i know it's still touch and go out there. >> reporter: yeah, good afternoon, katy. you will hear an alarm going off behind me and it is still a crime scene here. the police still in place. the blue flashing lights. this incident began at 1:58 so lunchtime in london when the streets were packed, when police responded to reports of a stabbing in a building. by the time armed officers got to the scene, the man had moved from that building, having stabbed a number of people. we think at least five. he was then tackled by very brave members of the public, by passers by, bystanders who wrestled him to the ground on london bridge. one managed to take the knife, a very large knife, from him. he then opened his coat and at that point there was a bit of panic because it appeared that he had some kind of suicide vest on underneath the coat. in fact, as police later said, this was a hoax explosive device. one man continued to wrestle with the suspect. armed poli

joining us for the hour, global economist at cavanaugh capital. futures flat after we saw a little weakness in the s&p 500. it was a remembrance day. 10 year treasury yield dips a little bit. yes, the gu -- the geopolitical risk was front and center but we are still waiting for any moves either way. one we gone as far as we can the optimism and markets? >> our view is that the markets are already pricing in trade optimism. the comments yesterday from chinese officials that the two sides will draft a phase one deal, the tariffs will be rolled back on a torsional basis. obviously, president trump is not on the same page yet. we think the markets could be vulnerable. the whole situation is still very fluid. we have not gotten a definite answer. there is still a lot of uncertainty going on. the markets are at record highs. we think that could be some vulnerability. good to see you this morning. there are vulnerabilities around, we have a big central-bank meeting with the kiwis. we touched on this several times. them to cut. many people are suggesting

he has lied about collusion, he lied about cavanaugh, he lied about the cover up, he lied about a whistleblower. if this thing keeps moving forward, republicans are absolutely right. adam schiff himself may find himself in the ministry. >> harris: we saw that one of her time with ken starr and the bill clinton impeachment. i talked with him about that. he said it's a possibility and we will cover it as it happens. meanwhile, president trump is claiming victory in kentucky after last night, despite democrats likely winning the governorship. too close to call still. democratic candidate andy she has declared victory, a leading matt bevin and the latest count. president trump tweeted this, that republicans "won 5 out of 6 elections in kentucky, including five great candidates i spoke for and introduced last night. matt bevin picked up at least 15 points in the last, but perhaps not enough. fake news will blame president trump. winning in mississippi governor race, however." president trump did not seal the deal pair let's listen and watch and i will come straight to you. >> it tells you that slavi

joining us now is jim cavanaugh, former atf special agent in charge, retired fbi special agent bobby chicone joins us, as well. the response to this thing was very, very fast. it was very fast moving. it was about an hour and a little bit from the time it was reported to the time that the police said they had neutralized the suspect. >> right. and that's the biggest change in law enforcement we've seen since columbine. we've seen these procedures put in place, we've seen active shooter drills, not only by law enforcement, by schools put in place. as was said earlier that training saves lives. as difficult as it is to have children have to do that kind of training, it saves lives. >> right. >> law enforcement similarly has changed their tactics, changed their mindset. it's now get there as quick as you can, don't wait for the s.w.a.t. team. don't form a perimeter. go straight in. when you get two or three uniformed officers, you can start taking action. we've changed the way law enforcement addresses these. and each of these situations you see them getting better and better. lasu is t

how can we trust these people who push obstruction, and justice cavanaugh and collusion. we can't. >> jesse: the media has no awareness. they cooked up a hoax for three years, that fell apart, the same week that falls apart, where mueller's thing falls apart, they cook of this whistle-blower scandal. they expect the american people to go along for another year of this question like the american people are busy and tired. what ambassador sondland thought about the inter-agency process with regards to a military age package to ukraine is not seeping into the consciousness of the american public. trump scallop numbers are up 2.6. independents are against impeachment. up ten points. in wisconsin, dana just mentioned, support against impeachment is going the other way. i just don't think these are really breaking through. in the morning i thought, wow, this guy has the goods. he has it on quid pro quo. he started answering questions. no quid pro quo at all with the military aid. in fact, trump never mentioned "security assistance." i don't want anything from ukraine. the only

person doing the questioning and republicans wsht hap warrant hap weren't hawpe how she questioned brett cavanaugh's accuser. i wouldn't be surprised if there was rethinking of the strategy here. republicans were not happy with the lack of what seemed be drive in his questioning. and i think that that is something that he can fix certainly, but it's hard as greg pointed out when there's not much of a case there. there's not much for him to drive at. >> and, jim, obstruction seems to be working. your takeaway. >> listen, republicans were crying hearsay today. the witnesses that could speak directly to the president's statements or desires are being blocked by the white house with the exception of gordon sondland. but to that point, you can argue that obstruction is working for the republicans. >> all right. thank you, all, very much. thanks to all of you for watching. anderson starts now. >>> good evening from washington. something happened here today that almost never does. when it did, it turned this already historic first day of televised house impeachment hearing into something far more. surprise

news is reporting tonight that the president's republican allies on the hill are looking at the brett cavanaugh supreme court hearings as a model, which would suggest that we're in for some, forgive me, some histrionics, some sort of carnival tactic. some sort of disruptive tactics. have you and your colleagues prepared amongst yourselves about how you're going to deal with that kind of potential disruption? >> well, i think you're right. that is always the hail mary pass by our gop colleagues. it's just to engage in circus diversions and character assassination. you know, they teach you in law school if the facts are against you, you pound the law. if the law's against you, you pound the facts. if both the facts and the law are against you, you pound the table. we already saw them conduct their faux civil disobedience where they became the first sit-in protestors in american history fighting for high crimes and misdemeanors. so it's just an embarrassment and a disgrace. i suppose it works only in a media environment where you're speaking to people who have no access to the facts and no access

we haven't seen the narrative come out, like for example, with cavanaugh. you know, that was probably the biggest televised hearing we've had in some time besides mueller. i think you're going to see both sides of the aisle creating their own narratives on television ads and really telling the story. and that's what's probably gonna be -- end up being more persuadable than anything else. but mitch mcconnell needs to see that maine's in trouble flipping, colorado, couple other states. >> that's what i think is important if mitch mcconnell feels he can't win seats. that, i think, is the only thing that gets republicans to vote to convict the president. other than that, you know, mcconnell's not gonna move. >> all right, guys. we're going to come back to this. jonathan, susan, bazle. you guys are all sticking around. next up, he's a key witness into the democrats investigation in the hold up of security aid to ukraine. what will gordon sondland say when he testifies in the impeachment inquiry? and what if he says nothing at all? i thought i was managing my mod

joining me, former atf special agent jim cavanaugh, and former fbi profiler clint vanzant. clint, what is going on? >> what is going on is that we have a lot of in this case young people in schools who have learned, unfortunately, from events just like you've spoken about that anger management is something beyond their reach. they look for violence to solve issues of anger, frustration, rage, whether they've been bullied, whether they can't get a date, whatever the case may be. they have learned from incidents like we've spoken about, they've learned from songs, they've learned from video games, they've learned from the news that this is one way to even the score, to take a weapon in where you expect there to be no other weapons, and then to act out against your anning tonist or act out -- your january tagnist or act out against totally innocent people because you want revenge. my friend jim conkavanaugh, he e a point that when you sound something that sounds like a shot, assume it was a shot. jim was an atf agent, i was an fbi agent. if we heard something that sounded like

most notably, brett cavanaugh obviously and the contentiousness around that nomination. but just look at the numbers as the white house put out a statement a short time ago. 112 judges to federal district courts. 43 judges to federal circuit courts. and the president today announcing ten more nominees for federal judicial roles, as well going forward. as evidence by the people already in that room where the president's holding what in effect is a celebration. you've got lindsey graham here, mitch mcconnell, the vice president, and many other members of the president's team. they really do believe that this is what sells with the president's base. as we evhave heard him say on repeated occasions, he said if this goes forward, if the democrats are to knock me out of the white house, however they try to go about it, either with impeachment or at the election box, he says the economy will tank and you will not continue to have these justices serving on some of the highest courts in the land. ali. >> yeah. the economy thing is a matter that is up for discussion. but he's got

first, justice cavanaugh, i want to make sure you have all of the relevant points in the nielsen memorandum. dhs's discretion to establish enforcement policies, the daca policy should be rescinded for several separate and independently sufficient reasons. she then gives the first reason. the legality question. 123a, go to page regardless of whether the daca policy is illegal, it was appropriately rescinded by dhs because there are serious doubts about the legality. regardless of whether concerns about the daca policy are questionable, there are sound reasons of enforcement policy to rescind the daca policy. 125a, whereto page she is discussing reliance, i do not believe that the asserted reliance interest outweigh the questionable legality of the daca policy. when you get to the conclusion on page 126a, for these reasons, i concur with and declined to do is -- disturb the decision to rescind the daca policy. we dealt know how she would respond if there was clear recognition that there was nothing illegal about daca. our whole memo is affected by the idea that this is one illegal and substan

when i see yovanovitch, grace, direct, clearly succinct, i think back to someone like cavanaugh, screaming, yelling, shouting. look at this juxtaposition. it really does show something that i think we can really see where sondland falls in the middle next week when he's up front. how is he going to behave when he comes under pressure for, one, having to again explain how his now refreshed memory is presenting new information to him and then to the public. >> we come back in a moment. the power of hearsay. how gordon sondland's testimony could be a game changerthat's taking place this coming week. e taking place this coming week. a wealth of perspective. ♪ a wealth of opportunities. that's the clarity you get from fidelity wealth management. straightforward advice, tailored recommendations, tax-efficient investing strategies, and a dedicated advisor to help you grow and protect your wealth. fidelity wealth management. and my lack of impulse control,, and protect your wealth. is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and

my brother unfriended me on facebook over cavanaugh.my sister-in-law broke her engagement over cavanaugh. >> one of the people that wrote me one of those letters was a guy. lovely guy. sounded really nice. worked on the west coast. he was a trump supported he had to take that fact off of his profile because no woman would go out with him. he'd been in the military. very intelligent. auntie met an awesome woman. he really liked her. they had a lot in common. they went on one date. all her friends and we will kill him. how can you do this? she walked out. in one date. and he said, i read some of the things she wrote. i think we have a chance. will you talk to her? will you be my go-between? so, why not? i said he's a great guy. she really had a blind spot for this. why is it if someone votes for trunk, i consider them the antichrist. surely there are guys that i agree with that didn't treat me well. so we had a long conversation. and i wasn't trying to convince her to go back to him. i said are you ever in a situation that someone you agreed with didn't treat you well and someone you didn'
