but i think that the likability question is something that is going to come up probably a lot in the hearing. he is someone who people like. and, you know, but that's not really the point. you know, i really like ed. you know, you might be surprised by that. against all odds i really do like ed. i'm not sure i would support him for supreme court justice, but i won't tell you that until after the hearing. but it does end up being something that people talk about a lot, and i think perhaps that's probably why in addition to not wanting to meet with judge garland, people didn't want to have a hearing for judge garland because he is one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. i think that's not the right thing, even though it is something people will focus on a lot. >> i agree with the likability isn't the point. i do think, though, that one thing you can gauge by talking to somebody, particularly by talking to them about legal issues, is are they a good listener. are they willing to consider what you're saying. do they respond to your ideas respectfully. that's something that i think is i

i might pick him for that, but so i think the likability question is something that is going to comep probably a lot in the hearing. he is someone who people like and, but that's not really the point. i really like ed. you might be surprised by that. i rely do like it. i'm not sure i wouldupport him for supreme court justice although i will notell you until after your hearing. that's not really the point. but it does in the being something that people talk about a lot anything perhaps it's probably what in addition to not wanting to meet with the judge garland, probably a lot of people did not want of a hearing for judge garland because he is one of the nicest people you would ever meet. i think that's just not the right thing even though it is something that people will focus on a lot speaking i agree likability isn't the point. i do think though one thing you can gauge by talking to someone, about legal issues is are they a good listener? either willing to consider what you're saying? to the respond to your ideas respectfully? that's something i think is important not only for the

. >> part of me is, i like tom's age, i look at it likable but i don't have any kids," let's just burnnvironment, let the good times roll. >> is psychopaths too strong a word? >> their hypocrites, they were hippies back in the day and also many of them are hard-core to the right. >> tom: coming up, we're going to move on. andy levy is next. "halftime" with tv's andy levy is next. a brand-new episode of the "red eye" podcast is available now, subscribe on itunes and on foxnewsradio.com. ♪ >> tom: welcome back, time to find a but we got wrong and what we missed from tvs andy levy over at the "red eye" news deck. >> andy: how you? thanks for noticing my new haircut. really appreciate it. >> tom: you got a haircut. >> andy: whatever, man. it's the little things like that that could make this work experience so much better. the staff and i talk about that all the time. riedel, you said this is dreadful for democracy and you blame it on the democrats. you're not wrong but i think there's more blame to go around. >> it gives them a chance to be like idiots, we know who we voted for, a bunch o

i think i judge gorsuch does at the hearing, how likable he appears, how appealing will have a real impact which way senate democrats go. but again they face a challenge that the best option and the worst option both involve going down the same road for a distance, that is a filibuster road. and then diverging. >> is that right, the choices on how to lose? >> i mean, it is certainly a challenge. i mean, i think historically filibusters of supreme court nominees are practically nonexistent. in any way that is sustainable. i think there will be a 60-vote margin required, and i think there will be a lengthy debate. whether the democrats will decide to extend their filibuster long enough to provoke the nuclear option, i agree that their wrestling with that right now. christine may be closer to all this and the rest of us spirit to be clear i'v of networked atl on this nomination specifically but based on once i have worked on i think it's too early to make that determination. what happens in this phase in the process is document production. dozens of law firms, the nominee submitted a question

think the likability question is something that is going to come up quite a bit in the hearing. he is somebody that people like. that is not really the point. ed, i am not sure i would support him for a supreme court justice roll or it that is not really the point. that is something people talk about a lot. i think a lot of people did not want to have a hearing for merrick garland, not just because he is one of the nicest people, i think that is not the right thing. >> i agree that likability is not the point. i think one thing you can gauge by talking to the nominee is are they a good listener, are they willing to consider what you are saying, are they willing to respond to questions, i think that is something that is important for lawyers who have the experience of arguing for a judge. it also does show and-mindedness independents, i think the senate is not geared just towards so and you would like to have a beer with. but is this somebody would like to have as a good judge. i think he will impress in that way but we will see. open-mindedness. >> this is a political process. h

very likable. he comes off a little bit aw, shucks, charming.'t think he's going to mess me over. he is steady, genuine person, very bright, very accomplished, takes a job seriously and is going to uphold the law. the fact that he's been in the majority 90, 95% of the time goes to show you this is somebody who goes with the law and isn't an outlier or someone who's going to be writing crazy dissenting opinions and try to shape law based on his own personal viewpoint. i think he's doing a fantastic job. he's very difficult for them to try to derail or catch him or any kind of gotcha moment. >> dana: how do you think the democrats will play at? >> eric: you are seeing what they are doing. al franken, a couple other senators trying to give them a hard time. >> dana: you guys made fun of my gorilla metaphor. >> eric: i see a nice guy, almost one you can't complain at the republican or democrat. democrats want to say they pushed back hard. he is a safe pick. he's not going to be the wild, crazy right winger. kagan and justice soto mayor -- this guy c

was he kind of a likable guy? >> he seemed very likable. yeah. he was very approachable.d very nice. >> in fact, he had no problem sharing intimate details with kristen about his personal life. >> he had been married, and somehow the conversation, you know, goes into him telling me how he had found god. i made a lot of mistakes. i wasn't a great husband. >> you guys got into quite the personal conversation for having just met. >> oh, yeah. well, i mean, i was young, and i think that was normal, and he was drunk. >> not long after the party started, it abruptly ended. kristen's friend, hosting the party, got into a fight with her boyfriend. >> there was alcohol involved. it was a worry that it would get out of hand. >> everyone left, but not kristen. she was concerned about her friend and stuck around talking to the upstairs neighbor. so you were feeling protective? >> yeah. he actually said to me, he said, you're worried about your friend? i said, yes, i am. he said, you can go to my apartment and you can be close to your friend to call. >> she and the neighbor walked up

he has likability. it happened on the very program, we took his remarks saying he wasn't going to run. for the first -- i don't know -- ten minutes sounded like he was going to run. it's like okay, okay. oh, no. he sounded so disappointed and sad. >> like james coney. you thought he was about to indict hillary clinton and pulls the rug out. >> similar remarks. you can tell there was a big part of him that really wanted to run. >> i can understand -- my mother lost both of my brothers. they both passed away. >> i'm so sorry. >> i can't imagine how you survive that, how you lose a child. in the midst of that, to turn around and run for president, which is -- seemed like a daunting task. >> i would almost believe it was joe biden's decision. if it wasn't for the down fall of bernie sanders. what happened in the democratic party with the desire, the thirst that was so real to anoint a woman to the thrown. i would almost believe it was his decision but i don't. >> it would have been an interesting campaign.

, you have something in television called -- i can't even remember that, but it's basically the likabilityle. >> q score, i think. >> yes, the q score. i don't know where he felt his q score was, but he did very well as a witness. and god, can you imagine being up there for 11-plus hours? they give you a half an hour for lunch and about every three hours they let you go to the undescribed room that everybody knows you're going to. senator grassley makes very clear that you're going to. it is an endurance test. he'll be back at it tomorrow. i'm not sure it will be as long tomorrow as it was today, but i'm sure it will be at least eight hours. i saw him at one point this evening pop a pill. i assume it was a tylenol or something like that to get through the last two hours of his testimony. >> that doesn't account for you and me getting over the finish line tonight. nina totenberg who we spoke to 12 hours ago, thank you for staying up late with us. charlie sykes, thank you as always for visiting us in new york and staying up late with us. another break for us. coming up, the stock market has

he is likable. he made a lot of dad jokes that weren't really funny, but probably appealing. i think the big question here is what senator santorum said earlier today is what's happening behind the keenz. there are eight democrats they need to get in order to, you know, override the filibuster. i think democrats are going to push on this. they need to for their own purposes, and they need to galvanize the base about a range of issues. backing away will be seen as a bit defeatist. >> you don't think they'll get the eight votes? is that -- >> i don't think they will. >> really? >> i think democrats are going to keep pushing on this, and they're going to try to keep their people with them. >> senator santorum, if they -- the democrats filibuster, they don't get the eight votes, will the senate majority there change the rules, the so-called nuclear option? >> absolutely. you know, lindsey graham talked about being the gang of 14 trying to forestall the nuclear option back when the bush nominee was blocked. i was part of the nuclear committee. i wanted to deploy the harry reed nuc

i find the art of prague's alphonse mucha, who worked around 1900, incessantly likable. with the help of an abundant supply of gorgeous models and an ability to be just provocative enough, mucha was a founding father of the art nouveau movement. his specialty -- pretty women with flowers, portraits of rich wives, and slinky models celebrating the good life. but he grew tired of commercial art and redirected his creative energy. a short tram ride away in the czech national gallery of modern art is mucha's latest work, his magnum opus. mucha dedicated the last half of his career, 18 years, to painting "the slavic epic." it's a series of 20 huge canvasses designed to tell the story of his people on a grand scale. in this self-portrait, young mucha is the seer, a conduit determined to share wisdom of a sage slav with his fellow czechs. mucha paints a brotherhood of slavic people -- serbs, slovaks, poles, and czechs -- who share a common heritage, deep roots, and a hard-fought past. through these illustrations of epic events, czechs can trace their ethnic roots. mucha, with h

i'm very, very convicted and therein lies the issues of her not be likable all the time. >> what is fascinatingh you embody remarkably well, this is one way into a conversation about people who we know whose life is defined by and control by something they were born into. it is like they have no other way of seeing the world. they have no other prism. whether one likes or loathes them, you have to acknowledge the fact that they are who they are because this is what they were raised in, all they've ever been taught, what they're defined by. and in some ways as annoying as it might be, as disruptive as that might be in relationship to other people, one also has to acknowledge that it is how you were raised. >> it is how you were raised. >> yeah. >> and i find that, you know, the idea of spirituality and religion are definitely other faith-based -- faith-based movements, excuse me, is a very universal theme. it is very universal topic. i think it is nalt rtural for pe to want to sort of tap into some sort of sense of community where they feel supported and understood, and that they belong to a lik

tammy is a bright, compassionate, very likable person who will be, i believe, as great a partner in diplomacy if david is confirmed as ambassador as she has been a partner to him in life. during those weekends with the friedmans david and i had a lot of time to talk about things and i reached some conclusions about him that i think are relevant to his nomination to be ambassador that i want to share in just a few sentences. first, he is a patriotic, proud and grateful american. grateful for the opportunities america has given his family and him. second, he knows a lot about israel and cares deeply about its relationship with the united states. i'm confident that he will bring his considerable personal skills to bear to strengthen this very important bilateral relationship. as i suggested earlier, i don't think david dreamed he would be nominated to be america's ambassador to israel. he probably never dreamed a client who became his friend would end up as president of the united states either. the fact that he has such personal relationship with the president, trusting relationship, i think wi

years of we had eight barack obama, a kindred, more likable kindred spirit with hillary.survived those eight years. we would survive another four. i think four would be all it would be because americans tend to shift parties after eight or at the next 12 years. i figured we lived through eight years of obama without terrible damage and we could live with four of hers. with trump, might be ok, who knew? i was talking to a friend of mine in the commodities business about the volatility index. i said you have all of these greek letters and formulas about measuring volatility, measuring risk. he said let me tell you a secret. if you could measure risk, it would not be risk. jeff: that is very true. america does volatility very well, no matter where you come down. pretty much every candidate running in the last election cycle, maybe other than rand paul who did not last long. >> no, he did not. i did like rand. jeff: i wonder whether you see anyone in the future who you can get behind. >> yeah, actually, there were a couple of people i thought were fine. i went to see jeb bush

mine are reminiscenct of a very long individual who is very approachable, likable, easy to work with. i first encountered him at a place called bohemian grove. i was the guest of george h.w. bush, who is making a lakeside appearance. this is critical if you are aiming toward hoping to run for the presidency. they were both pushing reagan and were longtime members. there was a lunch after the speech, and the three of us retired as his guest, when governor reagan spotted us. he told the story about the barbary pirates in standing up to fight them, and when he finished, mr. president bush turned to him and said dam, he is good. fast-forward. next encounter with the governor was after he had taken the oath of office. the day after. i had been approached in late november. what i consider being the deputy director of central intelligence, and it was easy. i said hal, no. i was getting ready to retire. i was passing up promotion opportunities for people i had helped along. i went out to australia for a visit, got pulled out of a meeting, and he said you have to take this job. i said i was no

you are one of the most likable, easy going people i have met. i like travelling and working with you on this committee. i am not sure likability is the quality i want in this position. i want someone who is crusty, mean and tough because you are riding on 17 agencies that will want to be going in different directions and reporting to a president who may or may not want to hear what you have to say. can you assure me that not only are you changing hats when you go into the this job but you are going to hard in terms of your execution, in terms of what i think is the second most important job in the united states government, right now. >> well, achieving the level of belichick may be tough. i haven't seen any other nfl coaches achieve the level of belichick. >> the attitude and success. >> i hear what you are saying and i think the office and times demand it. we are not in a passive situation from a world threat. it has reached the level we cannot afford not to go at this with everything we have. >> and to put a point on this, the three most serio

even mark meadows said he's a charming guy and if this was about being charming or likable, he would have won this easily. the problem is this is about policy. the criticism you heard when i was in congress this week was that he never did a deep dive. he never was really into the details of it. and he so he never really found his way. the interesting thing, i'll pick up on what charlie sykes said, not only did the president seem relieved but a number of staff members i talked to told me essentially we're moving on and there was not the kind of feeling that i got in the obama white house when something went bad that they really felt it deeply. in fact, one senior staff member when i said so what do you do next meaning is it taxes? how do you recover from this? the answer was, i'm going to go home and spend a weekend with my kids. it's sort of a different feeling in that white house. >> i've also heard them speculating if the boss will exhibit phone control over this coming weekend. we shall see. chris jansing, thank you for joining our conversation. another break. our conversation con

not the most likable guy in the world. jim: it's one of the things that drew me to it.rathericult self-centered. he claims he is happily divorced. which does not ring true. but he thinks he is. he is living a rather selfish life in his own retirement with his hobby of running a camera shot. his legacy comes from the mother of his lost love, his first girlfriend, which throws his life into turmoil. he actually finds out through that, or we find out, that he's not as happy and as content as he claims to be. a point,the film makes the narrator says that we in our lives end up writing our own stories. and sometimes not very accurately. jim: yes, the stories we tell ourselves are the stories we told ourselves first. they are like chinese whispers, they get more and more remote from what really happened. he convinced himself that he's all right. when you dig a bit deeper, more is revealed. anthony: it's interesting because he had this little camera shop, like a hole in the wall. i love that little space. although i cannot imagine how he would spend the whole day there. it's a

to edit if you're if the going to say that around your kids, because that's the way sort of like likableow? talking about all of the bad choices we're making and stuff. >> yes, starts whether you're little. i remember doing story couple of years ago at a high school. first they would hand them breakfast in a bag because a lot of kids whether they go to school they don't -- they're not served breakfast inside their home. but one lady would always, you know, would hug every child who walks in. and i asked her why are you giving them a hug? and she said because a lot of them they don't get that at home. they don't get that validation to say you're special and you're loved and we want to start now, they can't do that obviously because of policies and hugging children. >> you can hug me, go ahead, it is hug your co-worker day. >> i hugged keith the floor director earlier. oh, my morning. >> and my turn. >> feeling loved. >> tv wife. >> i'm the side chick. >> this is how i roll right here in the morning. >> you guys have heard of the term meal prep, right? >> sure. >> like sundays, you see all

even mark meadows said he's a charming guy and if this was about being charming or likable, he would have won this easily. the problem is this is about policy. the criticism you heard when i was in congress this week was that he never did a deep dive. he never was really into the details of it. and he so he never really found his way. the interesting thing, i'll pick up on what charlie sykes said, not only did the president seem relieved but a number of staff members i talked to told me essentially we're moving on and there was not the kind of feeling that i got in the obama white house when something went bad that they really felt it deeply. in fact, one senior staff member when i said so what do you do next meaning is it taxes? how do you recover from this? the answer was, i'm going to go home and spend a weekend with my kids. it's sort of a different feeling in that white house. >> i've also heard them speculating if the boss will exhibit phone control over this coming weekend. we shall see. chris jansing, thank you for joining our conversation. another break. our conversation con

he's not going to be personally likable because people know he doesn't tell the truth.s where this is going to get him. when other things go bad later on, that's where he pays a price for this. >> i want to give you the last word. >> i think actually it is an issue about greed and perception. as this presidency continues and as the condition of the american people gets worse, when they lose theirealth care, when rich people are getting tax breaks and they're struggling to make ends meet and they look at the president of the united states, self-proclaimed billionaire who loves talking about how successful he is, and he's still drawing $400,000 from the federal government while everybody el everybody's condition is deteriorating, that could be a civil bullet perceptionwise. >> thank you very much. we'll stay on the story as warranted. up next, i'll take a moment to open up my inbox and tackle questions from you all, our viewers. e-mail me at ari@msnbc.com for next week's show. ition. this is one gorgeous truck. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actu

character who his own daughter calls, gives the nickname of muj 12, short for curmudgeon, not the most likable guy in the world. >> no, it is one of the things that drew me to it. he's a difficult man. and he's a rather self-centered man. and he claims he's happily divorced which doesn't really ring true. but he thinks he is. and he's living a rather selfish life with his own, in his own retirement. and his hobby of running a little camera shop. but then this legacy comes from the mother of his lost love, first girlfriend which throws his life into turmoil. and he actually finds out, i think through that, we find out that he's not as happy and as content as he claims to be. >> the film makes the point, and you say as a narrator in the film, that we all in the course of our lives end up writing our own stoverrees. and sometimes not very accurately. >> yeah. yes, the stories we tell ourselves are the stories we told ourselves first. so they get whispers. they become more and more remote from what really happened, i think. and he's convinced himself that he's all right but when you dig a bit deep
