i would say a huge factor was then-majority leader harry reid's abolition of the judicial filibusterack in november 2013. what this meant is that if you have control of the senate, you don't need any votes from the other party. democrats had launched the filibuster against president george w. bush's appellate nominees back in 2003. republicans, under obama, returned the favor to a much lesser degree, and harry reid said, enough, abolish the filibuster. what that means you can get to a final vote on these nominees without clearing the 60-vote threshold. host: looking back to the appointees from the bush administration, clinton, -- clinton, bush and now the obama administration, and the --bers that the trump president trump's first four years, or first three years of the white house, can one look at those judges appointed by president obama, president george w. bush or president clinton and say, well, these were clinton judges or bush judges, and they rule typically in this sort of fashion? guest: well, that's a big question. i think it would take a lot of study to really explore that.

i was with harry reid recently and harry reid said that he admired lindsay graham as a john mccain republicant that now he's become running for re-election in south carolina trying to get re-elected republican. is that fair? >> i, you know, i can't gauge a lot of this because i don't know what's going on in south carolina. i haven't really politically kept up on a lot of this stuff. lindsay's a member of our family, and i love him regardless, and he will always be -- he and i are the same age, but i feel like sometimes he's my fifth child in many ways. i love him to death. >> presumably, occasionally, you have guidance to offer your children. do you offer your fifth child advice? >> i have offered advice. >> i'm sure you won't share that. >> it isn't after the living, it's the dead. he's continued to go after senator mccain including this bizarre thing where he was in asia and the white house ordered the military to cover the name of the "uss john mccain" because they thought it would disturb the president. how did you react when you heard that news? >> well, here's how -- exactly what i felt

i have tori say, working with harry reid, for many years, was an opportunity to again, work across the american people. many of you on both sides of the aisle i'd like to mention but i don't want to ruin your career while you are still in office. [laughter] was a chance to honor some of ma personal heroes, jack nicklaus, arnold palmer. address a joint congress for the first time. i never wanted this to be about me. when i got to the speakership, i became to the realize this. i remember the weeks leading up toi the 20th election, they wanted me to sit and pose for a cover shot. i was honored but i declined. the lead case and i declined. finally they sent a photographer to chase me around chicago. finally i grabbed the shot of me and put it on the cover. it turned out fine. i feel the same way about the portrait today. it will be on the wall but it's my hope that when the citizens see this in the speaker bobby they'll think, is not about me but theut things we stood for during my time here on the capital. it doesn't cost anything to be nice. i'd like to think we are able to disagree with

and cbs news also confirmed that harry reid was among the democrats bloomberg called this week to inform them he was thinking about running for president and thinking about running in the near future. former new york city mayor michael bloomberg is close to entering the 2020 presidential race. >> i think there's an awful lot to be said for experience and accomplishment. >> reporter: earlier bloomberg said he wasn't running, pointing to an overlap with joe biden. >> we would have split the votes. why not just stand up and say no? >> reporter: with biden slipping in the polls, the 77-year-old billionaire sees an opportunity for him to be the moderate democrat. >> i have my reservations about the people running and the way they're campaigning. >> reporter: bloomberg is a former republican and independent who registered as a democrat last year. he ran new york city from 2002 to 2013, and since then has put his billions behind popular democratic issues like gun control and climate change. >> certainly adds another dynamic to our backdrop. >> he would have to have a strong platform for him to

i have to say, working with senator harry reid for many years was an opportunity, again, to work acrosst things done on behalf of the american people. many of you on both sides of the aisle i can mention, but i do not want to ruin your career while you are still in office. [laughter] it was even a chance to honor some of my personal heroes, jack nicklaus, arnold palmer, and to welcome a pope to the u.s. capitol to address a joint meeting of congress for the first time. but i never really wanted this to be about me. you know, the closer i got to the speakership, i came to realize this. i remember the weeks leading up to the 2010 election. "time magazine" wanted me to sit and pose for a cover shot. while i was honored, i declined. they had the editor call my staff and plead the case and i declined again. finally, they sent a photographer to chase me around ohio in the weekend before the 2010, and finally grabbed a candidate shot of me and put it on the cover. it turned out fine. i kinda feel the same way about this portrait today. it is my image that will be on the wall, but it is my hope

this success is made possible by harry reid, who eliminated the threshold for filibustering judicialominees. >> by employing the nuclear option, they are now facing the consequences of that. >> the nuclear action has supercharged -- when the american bar association gave a not qualified to sit on the night circuit. they accused him of bigotry against the lgbt community. >> it is my fundamental belief that all people are created in the image of god. >> his integrity is absolutely unquestioned. >> he is rejecting all recommendations. >> that does not mean that they deserve an official seat at the table. in this circumstance, it reveals that they do not. >> that's one of the reasons of the trump administration is making sure that his court appointees are young and eager for a lifetime on the bench. bret. >> bret: doug, thank you. stocks were mixed today. the dow lost a fraction. the s&p 500 was up to. the nasdaq dropped 24. and tonight's democracy reports, joe biden is in fourth place in iowa. it's now the third poll that puts him in iowa. president trump carries into next year's electi

but remind me when you talk about the media and they talk about the sucker punch, remember when harry reid suggested in 2012 that mitt romney never paid taxes, and they were all like, you probably didn't pay taxes. he was not able to counterpunch. >> juan: greg, if you think about him he didn't do this, he did! he committed a crime -- >> greg: he didn't commit a crime, one -- that's obvious! >> jesse: we've been through this in the -- radical democrat ilhan omar on the trail with bernie. that's next. hello mom. amanda's mom's appointment just got rescheduled - for today. amanda needs right at home. our customized care plans provide as much - or as little help - as her mom requires. whether it's a ride to the doctor or help around the house. oh, of course! tom, i am really sorry. i've gotta go. look, call right at home. get the right care. right at home. it also has the highest growth in manufacturing jobs in the us. it's a competition for the talent. employees need more than just a paycheck. you definitely want to take advantage of all the benefits you can get. 2/3 of employees said that t

harry reid who is someone who honors the tradition of the senate, has said that this needs to be done. i believe that it needs to be done. not just to get progressive legislation, but to make sure the senate is more responsive to our democracy. it cannot just be a place where good ideas go to die. it should be a moderating influence, but now it has become a total brick wall. which is one reason why it might be a good idea to nominate a veteran from the industrial midwest to see to it that mitch mcconnell is no longer the majority leader of the senate in the first place. [cheers and applause] >> we have a question from jonathan. how can universal health care be obtained while the insurance industry and for-profit health care lead the population? jonathan. mayor buttigieg: the insurance industry is fighting my plan because they don't want the competition. they like things the way they are but it is not working. -- we had tremendous project progress with the a formal care act. able i care about have been saved by the affordable care act, but we continue to have the problem of people who
