america merritt garland is viewed as centrist. but now the republicans majority in the senate is saying we won't even consider him. would you put these nominees in the same category as merritt garland? >> yeah, merritt garland is super anti-amendment and he's pro choice. >> that's it? guns and abortion? >> that's pretty important issues. those are pretty key issues. >> it's the cornerstone of my beliefs. >> i'm interested that there are litmus tests for conservatives. soy guess justice roberts who are others that are conservatives on court might not fit right now. tom, am i wrong? >> i want to know what you think of trump's proposal you have to take all 11 at once what do you think of that? >> fdr wanted to do something like this. >> they're very conservative. conservatives often say there's no litmus test. but apparently there is with trump. he said they're pro life. >> especially for the supreme court. >> that's a big one. >> i think this is a, this is trumpa at his most conservative. i think conservatives are going to be happy

judge merritt garland, come on out, we're going to do this right here, right now! just like the red wedding. but it's not just congress. even some foreign leaders, they've been looking ahead. anticipating my departure. last week, prince george showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. that was a slap in the face. a clear breach of protocol. although while in england i did have lunch with her majesty the queen. took in a performance of shakespeare. hit the links with david cameron. just in case anybody is still debating whether i'm black enough, i think that settles the debate. i won't lie, look, this is a tough transition. it's hard. key staff are now starting to leave the white house. even reporters have left me. savannah guthrie, she's left the white house press corps to host the "today" show. norah o'donnell left the briefing room to host "cbs this morning." jake tapper left journalism to join cnn. but the prospect of leaving the white house is a mixed bag. you might have heard that someone jumped the white house fence last week. but i have to give secret servic

. >> not saying they should choose merritt garland. >> you got it. >> the primary fights head west andave you ever seen one of these where mobile ballot boxes are being deployed, and it's getting a little too hot in one newsroom. a meteorologist asked to cover up on air. look at her dress. what do you think? after sparking a huge storm of criticism? that brings us to our question of the day. you heard her say really. do you care if your meteorologist wears a dress like that? do you want her to wear a dress like that? tweet me @dwrechencarlson. do you care if your meteorologist cares a dress like that. 77% say han, hope. don't care. wait until you hear what people have said to me about some of my clothes. that's coming up next. with usaa is awesome. homeowners insurance life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty they still refer to me as "gunnery sergeant" when i call being a usaa member because of my service in the military to pass that on to my kids something that makes me happy my name is roger zapata and i'm a usaa member for life. usaa. we know what it means t

judge merritt garland, come on out! we're going to do this right here, right now! >> david, in addition to being the president's joke writer in chief before you left in january to start working at funny or die, you were also his special sift a assistant as well. how much does this president enjoy this night? >> i think it's a chance to strike a little bit of a different tone than he normally gets to do in a speech. what always struck me was for the entire week that he's engaging with these jokes he's making them better. he really is. he's doing the speechwriter's job. i say this as a former speechwriter, better than his joke writers could. it's a humbling thing to be in the room with him and watch him do that. >> president obama really seemed to hit another home run tonight. >> absolutely. >> whatever the politics. >> no, he couldn't have gone out on a better note. so loose. edgier than ever. he's built up that along the way. i think it reflects the way he's been his last couple of years. more out there, more throwing caution to the wind. a great way to go out. >>

merritt garland is not the worst option that's available.a great option but older probably than anyone hillary clinton would put forth and i think quite frankly the time that we need to take the less bad option available to us. same thing with the nomination. good options are gone. look at the least bad option and i think garland is that option. >> less bad. is that really where we are? less bad. leon wolf, thank you so much. red state.com. come back. >> thank you, brooke. >>> coming up next here, 88,000 evacuees. 1,600 homes torched and little hope in sight as dozens of wildfires just continue to burn there. we'll talk to a man forced to make a harrowing escape by helicopter taking a duffel bag and his cat with him. >>> plus, the names are already starting to leek out but thus far plenty of thanks but no thanks. will donald trump punt for a running mate be more difficult than expected? >>that is until ou clips a food truck, ruining your perfect record. >>yup... now, you would think your insurance company would cut you some slack, right? >>n

and he also said that donald trump would have a better supreme court nominee than merritt garland. >>ank you so much. i appreciate it. great get. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, the graduation photo that's prompting an investigation now at west point. a group of female cadets posing with fists in the air, generating all kinds of backlash. why some say it goes too far. what do you think? you be the judge here. >>> fight for women voters is heating up. moments from now, hillary clinton is taking her pitch to virginia. will she respond to donald trump's latest attacks saying she enabled her husband's infidelity? stay tuned. ifor all the wrong reasons.gical you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin®. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. try zyrtec®. muddle no more®. i'm in charge of it all. business expenses, so i've been snapping photos of my receipts and keeping track of them in quickbooks. now i'm on top of my expenses, and my bees. best 68,000 employees

result of this ninth justice, so, you know, obviously the president would like to have judge merritt garlandomination rolled through but what about antonin scalia? >> brooke, you're exactly right. you're starting to see how important that fifth vote is either for conservatives or liberals. it's now crystal clear that on issues from abortion to immigration to health care to religious freedom, there just aren't five votes, what we might think of as the conservative position, and so i think that's why a list like this one from donald trump as the presumptive republican nominee i think is going to be very reassuring to conservatives and to potential conservative voters because it suggests that he's not thinking that far outside the box and that he really is looking at justice scalia's seat as a seat that needs to be replaced and filled with someone of similar ideological and moral values as justice scalia. >> i think you hit on the exact right point because as he's now floated this list, right, isn't this donald trump's way of talking to perhaps the more hesitant members of the conservative part
