but not mitt romney, he doesn't care at all. mitt romney is on a long course.t a lot of republicans in red states they betrayed their own voters. given the finger day after day, after day. how long will republican voters put up with this? gonzalez is one of the smartest journalists in the country he joined just to analyze this. figure so much for joining us, i know if you notice this but it seems like the republicans who spend the least amount of time even trying to represent the voters are in the republican states. >> that's right, right. that's true and it's a real problem and it raises a lot of important questions. i think spencer cox's case is very illustrative of his relationship between woke capital and progressive ideology. what explains the bizarre behavior of guys like spencer cox, and mitt romney who consistently side with the people who want to sexualize her children, the so-called rumors. like you pointed out, it actually tends to pay pretty well. for example, spencer cox financial disclosures from last year said that zion bank corporation is his ba

mitt romney is not alone. of course, neither spencer cox, it turns out a lot of r republicans in red states serially betrayed their voters. give them the finger. day after day after day. the question is how long willhi republican voters put up with this pedro gonzalezs i, one of the smartest journalists in this country. he joins us now tous assesst this trend. nathanks so much for coming on . i don't know if you've noticed this , but it seems like the republicans who spend the least amount of time even trying to represent their voters are in the strongest republican states. right? right. r yeah, that's true . eaand that's a real problem and it raises a lot of important questions. and i think spencer cox's case is very illustrative of this relationship between woker capital and progressive ideology. you knowog what explains the bizarre behavior of guys like cox and romney who consistently side with the people who want to our children, these so-called groomer's? well, r r like you pointed out,t actually tends to

"tulsi gabbard is parroting false russian propaganda," wrote mitt romney of you call.t lives." ludicrous but still alive agreed. he said tulsi gabbard is a "russian asset" who belongs in jail. now this kind of stuff flies around the internet all day long and most people kind of shrug it off and keep moving but tulsi gabbard does not seem like she is going to. she is on the verge tonight of taking legal action against both mitt romney and keith olbermann. we should tell you, you probably know, kelsey garrett is a u.s. army reserve officer entering just tonight to explain her decision. congressman, thank you so much for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: how do you plan to respond to this? >> first of all, let me say i took an oath, as you mentioned, i still serve in the u.s. army reserves, today i am a human lieutenant colonel and 19 years ago when i listed in the military i took an oath to defend our constitution. i took that very same oath when i was elected to serve in congress, where i served for eight years. senator mitt romney has taken that oath, as has eve

mitt romney will brief us today at noon on where he thinks we are.porter: are you optimistic it can be done before the easter recess? sen. mcconnell: we will see. hopefully. reporter: on iran, it seems as if it is possible you will be voting on some sort of disapproval resolution in the next six months, who knows how long it will be. i guess i want to get your thoughts on where they are. you have been briefed a number of times. i guess the question i have is do you think the maximum pressure campaign the trump administration had worked? some say it didn't work. if not, what is the answer? sen. mcconnell: this is one area i want to complement the previous administration on. [laughter] i think the strides that were made, the abraham accords, they are really noteworthy, and had they been made and some other administration, they would have gotten more praise. what the previous administration was able to do is break the stranglehold between the gulf states and morocco with israel to get normal diplomatic relations. part of that was getting out of the iran

so so mitt romney famously dodged the war in vietnam. he's a coward. i you serve in the us military so you talk to people who also c serve and who mightal be called to fight this war against russia of the people a who are currently serving the u.s. military, how many believe that raising questionsis aboutea whether a war with russia iss a good idea constitutes treason to a lot of your fellow officers? think what you said is treasonous. not a single person that i know that i've had the privilege of serving with and even thoseow who i don't know personallyak who takee this oath to support and defend our constitution, to be loyal to our country wearingw the uniform, knowing that we can be called toe give our livs in service to our country at any time. i'm confident in saying a that they would not agree with his accusations. you know, h i'm not i'm not surprised at all the people who actually face the risk we neednd the conversation. so how do you think you might react too this ? we'll see. we've sent out these cease and desistnd letters to both senator ro

i'm going to ask him about this new theory about mitt romney and what he might be up to leading into 2024 given his vote for judge jackson. newt, before we get to that, the reaction to this entire deal with what biden is trying to do with the country, the democrats' plans is to just go full steam ahead. there's no recognition that maybe it's time to tack to the middle or work with republicans on some of the issues like the border that we just talked about. it's just full steam ahead on leftism. >> well, look, i mean if you regard what we're seeing as basically a secular religion, they don't have any room to negotiate. they can't, you know -- what they're doing they think, oh, they are sort of divinely inspired by their own brains, they can't back off. we were warned about this in 1972 when he said the liberal ideology had become a liberal theology. that's 1972. it's all gotten worse. it's all gotten sicker. donald trump was exactly right. in michigan the other day when he pointed out their transition on transgender is virtually insane. they'd have children doing things that might be

mitt romney, lisa murkowski and susan collins. in the day, jackson earned praise and criticism as a judicial committee members spoke one by one. >> our nominee embodies the highest ideals of our judiciary and the legal professi. i know that is going to fall on deaf ears with some members of this committee. members who unfortunately cared more about seeing their soundbites on social media. >> i can say definitively i like her. i think she is a good person but i cannot support her. when you look at her record and a depth, her consistent policy position i the sentencin guidelines are outdated. they are too harsh and criminals are over sentenced. i have to say i could not disagree with her more. stephanie: the vote to confirm jackson is expected to take place later this week. leading climate scientists warned governors -- when governments are falling short on lowering the planets temperature. the united nations panel said global warming could increase the century by twice the limits agreed in 2015. it called for urgent action this dec

to my colleague senator mitt romney, you are your father's side. this week marks 54 years since he shot rang out in memphis tennessee claiming the life of doctor martin luther king. an american who spoke with greater moral clarity than nearly any other in our history. : : city striking : he said like anybody i'd like to live a long life. longevity has its place, but i'm not concerned about that now. i just want to do god's will. and he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. his next words proved prophetic. dr. king said i've looked over and i've seen the promise land. and i've seen the promised land.i've seen the promised i may not get there with you but i want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. ricky jones said she thought about that when she realized the judiciary committee was voting on judge jackson's nomination on the anniversary of doctor king's death. it felt like a prophecy had come to pass. doctor king didn't make it to the promised land but judge jackson's ascension brings us closer to that for place. i

to my colleague senator mitt romney, you are your father's son. this week marks 54 years since the shot rang out in memphis, tennessee claim be the life of dr. martin laoser king, an american who spoke with greater moral clarity than any other in our history. the night before he died, dr. king spoke at a rally in support of the city striking sanitation workers. there was tension in the air. from the moment he set foot in memphis, he'd received a barrage of death threats. as dr. king spoke to the crowd at the mason temple, death was on his mind. he said like anybody i'd like to live a long life. longevity has its place, but i'm not concerned about that now. i just want to do god's will. and he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. his next words proved prophetic. dr. king said i've looked over and i've seen the promise land. i may not get there with you, but i want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promise land. ricky jones said that she thought about dr. king's prophecy when she realized the judiciary committee was voting on

and mitt romney enters the debate over student loan forgiveness with bribery allegations. >> [inaudible] >> i will explain why mitt's outrageous attack is actually a good development, when all in starts right now. >> good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. it's hard to think of a more insanely flagrant violation of the basic international order than bombing a city while the un secretary general is there on a peacemaking mission. that is exactly what happened today. russian forces apparently bombed the capital city of kyiv, while un secretary general antonio gutierrez was there for talks with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. ukraine's foreign minister's condemning it as a heinous act of barbarism. it is quite a provocative act of violence as the war enters its new phase. because remember, it was not supposed to be like this. and not just according to me -- that's according to putin. russian president vladimir putin was very clear from the beginning that this was not going to be a war. back in february, he gave a long speech where he called it, quote, a special military opera

guest: at this point, we are waiting on what senators lisa murkowski and mitt romney decide to do on jackson. jackson doesn't need their votes for confirmation, she looks like she is on a glide path to the supreme court right now. but we are waiting to see how much bipartisan support she gets. murkowski and romney appeared to be the holdouts of potential republican senators who will back jackson. host: josh wingrove, what are you watching on the confirmation front? guest: i think they breathed a huge sigh of relief when senator collins expressed her support. there has been frustration building in the administration, bordering on indignation, the attacks from some of the senators were off-base, low blows. judge jackson was not getting the fair shake from republicans the white house wanted her to get. of course, hanging in the air were a couple of certainties on the democratic side. it all the republican line up on one side, they have themselves a problem. you felt the blood pressure come down a little bit after senator collins came forward. there are still some question marks around i

kennedy, attorney general, his brother had been president, hillary clinton had been first lady, mitt romneyy were familiar to voters and they were able to make a case to voters in new york and in the case of romney to voters in utah they were able to bring their experience to bear to represent their new state. the ones who run into trouble are the ones who don't have that stature or who don't have any familiarity with the residents of their new state and have to keep explaining over and over that, well, yes, i used to be a senator from tennessee but now i want to represent maryland or used to be the governor of massachusetts, now i want to represent new hampshire. those folks have a much harder time overcoming the label. >> with regard to dr. oz clearly fits into that celebrity label, nationwide he has a profile, there was polling released this week, pennsylvania voters were asked does the fact that dr. oz only recently moved to pennsylvania bother you a lot a little or not at all? 26% said a lot. 25% said a little. let's call that half the republican electorate and 48%, 48% said not at all

mitt romney, susan collins and lisa murkowski. joining me now is msnbc host and former chief spokesperson for vice president harris, symone sanders, and national pr and legal affairs correspondent, nina totenberg, and former federal prosecutor, paul butler. ali, i want to start with you. did i get the play by play there correct? >> you got that right. we are just waiting at this point for senator rand paul to vote. senator graham came in late but did cast his no vote ultimately, and the rest of the votes shook out like we thought they would, and all 50 democrats coming in behind the historic nominee, and senator mitt romney and senator susan collins and lisa murkowski, we knew those were the three republicans willing to vote necessary on the nomination. if you look at the shear scope of this, this is what democrats set out to do 30 days ago when ketanji brown jackson was officially nominated by the white house. they wanted to make this a speedy confirmation process, and they wanted it to be bipartisan and to be done before they go

who said owed mitt romney and apology. administration's approach, russia i think was something i never thought. i think russian behavior has not changed and whether they call themselves communist or something else these days consist with these problems that have been problems all along. i don't want to give vladimir putin credit however. who would ever have accepted the germans in a social democratic chancellor doing a complete flip-flop on energy and providing weapons to allies who would have expected them to say we ought to be in nato the good think that has come out is it reinforces the importance of nato which the previous president was skeptical at varioust times and the reason fr nato, margaret thatcher said the purpose was to keep the russians out in the americans and the germans down. i don't thinke we have to keep the germans down anymore because it looks like they were having an epiphany as a result of this invasion. >> what is the future of u.s. russia relations? seems like there is talk about the russians are t

as republicans left the chamber, one of them, senator mitt romney, stood alone.and two other moderate republicans-- saying jackson is qualified and the confirmation process broken-- joined all 50 members of the democratic caucus in voting yes. jackson's qualifications are out of supreme court's central casting. top ivy league and legal credentials; nearly a decade of experience as a federal judge. >> i stand on the shoulders of so many who have come before me. >> reporter: her confirmation hearings often were heated. >> no, senator, i didn't say "versus." >> that's exactly what you said! >> reporter: republicans say she's soft on crime, and extremist. >> based on her record, i believe she will prove to be the furthest left of any justice to have ever served on the supreme court. >> reporter: replacing justice stephen breyer, jackson won't change the balance of the current, solidly conservative court. but as the first black woman, her perspective and experience could have influence, and her voice already is being heard. now, for now, she's still judge jackson. she

i'm going to mention mitt romney for a minute.as a time when the idea of republican was a kind of almost elite sort of or bane sort of idea. that was what a republican was when i was growing up. he would not make it in the republican party today. the people like the guy that is fog horn leg foreign is the party now. i don't think that's because of trump alone, do you? >> no, i think look -- since world war ii, there is two trends in the republican party, governing and joe mccarthy wing, conspiratorial and not concerned with governing, often raisest. a lot of us thought the eisenhower was a dominant gene. i think we were proven wrong. i think the party is what the party wants to be. it's a strong intellectual party. which i mean, used to say we're a party of ideas which may have been more self-flattering than true but at least you're aspiring to be that. now there is no pretense of that. >> yeah, i mean, mitt romney sticks out so much in the party. he did the 47% thing which was bad and tacky and helped him lose the election. at le

senators lisa murkowski and mitt romney announced they will vote for jackson. susan collins said she would also. all 50 democrats are expected to support the historic nomination. republicans who oppose her say that she's soft on crime. >> if you are a criminal, you would be lucky if your case is assigned to judge jackson. >> to say she's an extremist on crime belies the fact she has law enforcement group after law enforcement group supporting her. these are just lies. >> democrats say jackson should be confirmed by the senate later this week. >>> and police in sacramento have arrested a man in connection to a mass shooting that left six people dead and 12 others hurt over the weekend. authorities say 26-year-old dandrae martin is a related suspect in the case. this is a mugshot from a previous arrest. he's facing assault and firearms charges but not murder. detectives say they found one handgun while searching three homes in the area, but at least one other suspect remains on the loose. last night the community held a vigil for the victims. they're calling for

senators lisa murkowski and mitt romney announced their support yesterday joining senator susan collins. when senator murkowski was asked about her decision the alaska native lamented. >> don't you think that we should try to -- try to make the decisions on what is right overall. but we're strapped into it we're so -- we're so divided now. we are to that point where it's almost automatic >> meanwhile former president barack obama will return to the white house for the first time since leaving office he'll join his number two, president biden, to celebrate the success of the affordable care act now, that big event will take place in the rose garden this afternoon. steven >> all right, brie, thanks for that update. >>> it was down to the wire in new orleans with the national championship at stake. >> and harris steals it, gives it up, up and in >> north carolina was up by as much as 16 in the first half, but kansas stormed back in the second outscoring unc by 18 points in the stretch. down 3 and comes up short, kansas is the national champions with 72-69 win the jayhawks completed the lar

you have lisa murkowski, susan collins and mitt romney all supporting judge jackson.c members? that evenly divided judiciary committee, i should point out. you were 11-11. >> well, first, i appreciate their courage. these are thoughtful senators that have worked with us on infrastructure and so many things. ability to understand every opinion impacts real people and how she showed that grace under pressure when she got hit upon and attack and she was just sitting there looking strong. and i think they saw something else, which we realized after the hearing. because of that grace under pressure, because of that historic moment, many polls showed something like 66%, two-thirds of the american people thought she belonged on the bench. i'm very, very honored to be part of this committee and excited about that moment when judge jackson, no matter what attacks were lodged against her, she stood tall and she's going to walk in to that court house with her head held high and every little girl and boy in america is going to know anything and everything is possible. as the firs

lisa murkowski of alaska, who had voted for judge jackson in the past and mitt romney, who hadn't.ng about his thought process and what changed to get him to yes on judge jackson this time around. here's what he told me. >> yeah, in the prior conformation, i was concerned she was outside the mainstream and as a result of our meeting for an hour together and reviewing her testimony before congress, i became convinced she's within the mainstream. she's also highly qualified, intelligent, a capable person and i wish her the very best. >> reporter: you hear again the importance of the personal meetings. romney said he, like collins and murkowski, is concerned the nomination hearings are getting more and more politicized to the point it mightby impossible for one party's nominee to be confirmed by a senate controlled by another party in the future. certainly something a lot of folks are concerned about. >> indeed. thanks so much. and in the next hour, former president obama is going to return to the white house for the first time since he left office to deliver remarks about the afforda

he was less interested in supporting her for a supreme court nomination but on the other side mitt romneya personal meeting, taking the time to dig into her jurisprudence and coming out in favor. collins and murkowski both, murkowski in particular is known on capitol hill as being extremely difficult to lobby on things like this. you give her the information, you give her the answer to every question she asks and you wait for her to make a decision and that's the way the white house played this with judge jackson, making her available for a personal meeting in private and for follow-up questions and the results have borne few here in this bipartisan vote expected this afternoon. >> one final point to you, garrett, about all that is i think an unwritten story is the role of doug jones, the former senator from alabama who knows the senate, he knows his colleagues and was the so-called sherpa walking her through the process. she was reportedly very good when she was getting confirmed for the previous court last june. that was one of the recommendations that went in her favor when the preside

two more republican senators, lisa murkowski of alaska and mitt romney of utah, both announcing they will vote yes on her nomination. let's get right to rachel scott, live up on the hill tonight. and rachel, this means at least three republicans will vote with the democrats to confirm. >> reporter: yes, david. the president wanted bipartisan support and tonight, he has it. senator lisa murkowski just moments ago announced her support for judge jackson. in a statement praising her, quote, judicial independence, demeanor and temperament and the important perspective he would bring to the court. murkowski attacking the, quote, corrosive politics around this process. and mitt romney announced his support for judge jackson, as well, calling her a well qualified jurist. now, those two republicans will be joined by senator susan collins in their support. all three now voting yes for judge jackson's confirmation. the senate judiciary committee is on track to vote that nomination out of the committee tonight, bringing it to the full senate for a final vote by the end of the week. judge jackso

three republican senators broke with their party to vote for jackson, mitt romney of utah. susan collins of maine. and lisa murkowski of alaska. there are a number of other important firsts. it will be the first time two black justices are on the supreme court at the same time, and the first time there will be four female justices. cbs' jan crawford is on capitol hill. good evening, jan. >> reporter: well, good evening, norah. you know, judge jackson's confirmation was contentious, but it was never really in doubt, and now with today's vote, she'll take her place in history. >> the yays are 53, the nays are 47. >> reporter: with vice president kamala harris presiding, judge ketanji brown jackson made history. ( applause ) the 51-year-old, who wrote in her high school year book she hoped to be a judge, will be the supreme court's first black woman justice, fulfilling a campaign promise by president biden. he watched the vote in the white house with jackson, and senate democrats celebrated. >> we are beginning to write another chapter in our nation's quest for equal justice u

[applause] >> that was mitt romney as the lone republican left standing on the republican side of the senate and clapping on the republican side of the senate. that is how it estate, april 7th, 2022, will always be remembered in washington. for the rest of their lives, everyone who is in the senate chamber, the senators, the staff, the visiting members of the house of representatives, the spectators in the gallery -- wonderful will be joining us later -- the reporters who were there, they were all for the rest of their lives telling the story of what it felt like, saying what's the history felt like. it will be remembered as a day when did most of the united nations countries of the world 's voted to expel russian from the human rights council. history was made way 93 countries voted in favor of expelling russia from the human rights council. 24 voted against, 54 abstained after, as the new york times, reports, that the kremlin had warned it would consider votes in support of the resolution or even abstentions as unfriendly acts that would have consequences for its relations with thos

that includes your former boss, mitt romney. what do you make of that kind of rhetoric and the silence from the gop leadership? >> look, i think that there are two big things sort of happening. there's this craziness inside the republican party. and this is what putin is doing. he's calling a jewish president of ukraine a nazi. these are not un-related. because it is a tactic of pro-autocracy movements, which is what the republican party has largely become, to make these wild accusations. because then it makes any accommodation with the other side to impossible. it then makes it morally -- not only permissible, but you have a moral obligation to destroy the other side, if they're nazis, you must destroy them. if they're pedophiles, you must put them in jail. and this is just another evidence of how the republican party is falling in line with this autocratic playbook. >> and stewart, i want to put out footage of senator romney being the lone republican clapping after his fellow republicans leave the room after the confirmation o

know his job was a black rock question he was the head, you can't make some of the soap, that's mitt romney's. >> figure my successions i'm just saying this. mitts, the senior advisors are very important in the white house and he nailed it in that comment. >> you can hear more of this, larry kudlow 4:00 fbn, good stuff they give a much. he rips right off the top. i always end up applauding. all right, trey. >> trace: nobody rifts better. elon musk said he is gotten commitment letters to provide more than $46 billion in financing to buy my twitter, meanwhile a record-setting revenue drum for tesla over his hostile takeover bid for my twitter kelly o'grady here with more on that kelly hello. >> hello, trace, thank you for having me. elon now has the money to buy twitter, is a pretty uncharacteristic moving test learnings yesterday he stayed silent on his bed, that's not what we're used to from elon, but clearly he was busy in the background. in the new sec filing he said he is putting up 21 billion in equity himself and secured 25.5 billion in financing for a total of 46.5 billion. the filing s

i've great confidence in mitt romney, i disagree with him on some policy issues but he is a very goodou are running for reelection and we have a big white house that doesn't celebrate the affordable care act. your opponent is running against you and we pointed out again and again, that you tried to dump the affordable care act no fewer than a dozen times you have not held that back you argued. is this issue worrisome? >> not more. i did vote as you indicated and i did it because we ran the 2016 election on that, we did not deliver on that promise just because of one vote in the united states senate and the law of the land of obama we will try to improve as we can but i don't see it as an issue because we are not running on a platform, we are running on a platform of improving healthcare in the united states. i thought with his administration to get 65000 iowans continued for another year on the relatively cheap transition program. or i am fighting to the grassley wyden bill to get prescription drug prices down. which will save the taxpayers $95 billion in the consumer $72 billion. it

next a tribute from the man who replaced him, mitt romney. this runs about ten minutes. >> i rise today to honor and celebrate the life and legacy of an extraordinary man, a giant among senators and a dear friend. senator orrin hatch. a man of vision and unparalleled legislative accomplishment as the longest-serving senator in utah's history's unwavering dedication to the stateur and country during four decades of public service will be remembered for generations to come. fewer have left such a remark on the united states senate. he did this through his legislation and through the relationships with other senators, he did it through bipartisanship and his relationship with presidents in both parties. like his good friend, ted kennedy, he was a lion of the senate. i know there have been a number of senators who take responsibility for accomplishing many things, but i don't think there's been a better legislature that has gotten more done legislatively van orrin hatch. a judiciary, fundamentals of the economy and character are more elevated and

why would he even want mitt romney's endorsement at this point?ke lee if he expects to win this race. the reality is that most utah's want to replace mike lee. that includes democrats, independents and romney republicans, center-right, pro democracy republicans. mike lee is in trouble. he only has support of the far-right. the reason why he got so involved in this effort to overturn the election because he was pandering to the far late. he is an independent to unite from the republicans and democrats. the majority of the state wants to replace mike lee. he is very concerned about the. -- >> looks like we might be having some problems with evan mcmullin right now. so, what we will do right now is go to a commercial, if we can. if not, we can wait and see if not we can get evan mcmullin back. nope, still no evan mcmullin. 're clearly different. you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher. (othe

i did chat with mitt romney and i think he would make an excellent senator and i believe he will be the next senator from utah. can he do what i do? probably not because i have been here long enough and i have chaired three major committees and the most viable committee in the congress right now, the finance committee. that takes time and seniority to get there and an awful lot of hard work. he will still be effective because of who he is and his reputation. and how hard i think he will work. it is not given, but i think he has a really good chance of becoming the next senator from utah. host: in your 1976 campaign, your first one, your campaign slogan was, what do you call a senator who has been in washington for 18 years? you call him home. who came up with that? sen. hatch: i think i did. it could have been some of our advisors. keep in mind, senator moss was a nice man but he was a total liberal. he was not acting in the best interest of utah, or really the country in my opinion. that is why i felt he needed to be called on. host: here you are 42 years later. at the time, when you c

it's interesting, we just noted mitt romney becoming the third vote there, mitt romney was instrumealng this deal happen. he has become the -- we have talked a lot about joe manchin. noon the republican side, it is mitt romney who is willing to actually cross the aisle and he is seen, by democrats, as somebody who they can deal with and is an honest broker. judy: the administration has been sweating this. they say they will come back and ask for more because they worried about filling the needs that are out there. tamara: one of the big things this bill is lacking is funding for the global effort to vaccinate the world. it is not just producing vaccines and shipping vaccines, but it is also getting shots in arms. that has been a real problem and concern. the administration is saying some of those programs are going to have to stop right away without the funding. but what this does contain on the domestic side is much needed funding that the light has been raising alarms about. for instance, and they have not really talked about this explicitly that much, but in an interview i did with

ketanji brown jackson's confirmation the alaska senator, lisa murkowski, and the utah senator, mitt romneyve just confirmed their support. the maine senator, susan collins, already committed her support last week. nbc's senior national political reporter, sahil kapur is live on capitol hill up until this point democrats had a razor-thin margin to get the nomination through. >> it's looking a little less narrow with the addition of lisa murkowski and mitt romney who announced during that procedural vote that they would be joining all democrats and susan collins to vote to confirm ketanji brown jackson to the supreme court this vote was merely procedural. she still has to go through the bridge wringer in the senate as early as thursday. the writing is on the wall ketanji brown jackson will be confirmed to the supreme court and almost certainly on a vote of 53-47, all democrats plus three republicans. this, of course, comes after the judiciary committee deadlocked 11-11 on a party line vote, which forced this extra procedural hoop on the senate floor. the practical impact is minimal. they had

senator mitt romney stand up for what he knew was right.e the kind of folks that people want to go out and vote for. and so i think that we have to make sure that people across the country, that we have a real conversation and not letting the voices of the few bubble up to the top. but also understand that qanon is a real conspiracy that has become a true faction of the republican party, and that's not something that's going to go away in one cycle, in two cycles. folks got to figure out -- that has been embraced. folks who are members of the proverbial qanon caucus, they sit on committees in the united states congress. how are we going to address that? >> we have an information pandemic in this country. go ahead, tara. >> i was saying this qanon nonsense has metastasized over to our brethren over in the uk. so, this is not just a problem in the united states becoming an international problem, and we cannot ignore that. and when you have republicans, over a quarter of republicans who believe in qanon, it's become as popular as some religion

that includes senator mitt romney who voted against judge jackson when she was confirmed with the dce lisa murkowski, who admitted her decision could hurt her politically. >> everybody else is thinking about is, you know, how does this play, how does this play? in fairness, i assume, i have assumed a level of risk in doing this because it is a position that my conference has not taken. but you do, you take that risk, and that's just the way it is. >> a few days ago, senator susan collins of maine had become the first republican to say she would support her. and majority leader chuck schumer will file cloture on the nomination. senator lindsey graham, he had voted in favor of judge jackson with the dc circuit court, less than a year ago. he took things a step further yesterday. >> now, all of us are in politics over here. again, i'm inclined to vote for judges of the other side, but this choice of judge jackson was really embraced by the most radical people in the democratic movement. if we get back the senate and we're in charge of this body and there's judicial, we will telegraph co

and as mentioned, mitt romney of utah. did that surprise you?a welcome surprise. but it wasn't that long ago that over 90 senators confirmed justice ginsburg and. justice scalia. so um having three rather than 33, or 43 is still not saying very much i guess so. and isn't it a bit odd that mitt romney did not vote to confirm jackson on the u. s court of appeals in washington, d c last year, but then gives her yes. for the supreme court. why the flip flop? do you think i think he's my guest. i don't know. but my guess is he's concerned about the direction that the republican party is moving in, particularly on race relations, which is really i think that major fulcrum of the partisan divide so we now see that, um, well in the 19 eighties among life voters. racial resentment among democrats and republicans was pretty much identical. now there's a 40 point difference between what republicans like democrats in terms of racial resentment. so this is, um i think this racial relations racial attitudes are really at the heart of what's dividing the count

next, a treatment from a man who replaced him, mitt romney. this runs about ten minutes. >> i rise today to honor and celebrate the life and legacy of an extraordinary man, a giant among senators, and a dear friend, snore orrin hatch. he was a man of vision and unparalleled legislative accomplishment. as the longest-serving senator in utah's history, he is unwavering dedication to our state and country during four decades of public service will be remembered for generations to come. few individuals have left such an indelible mark on the united states senate. he did this through his legislation. he did it through the relationships he had with other senators. he did it through bipartisanship. he did it through his relationship with presidents of both parties. mike is good friend ted kennedy, he was a lion of the senate. now i know there been a number of senators who take responsibility for accomplishing many things, but it don't think there's ever g been a legislator that has gotten more done legislatively than orrin hatch. our judiciary, the f

senator susan collins, lisa murkowski and mitt romney were the only republicans to vote in favor. majority leader schumer was forced to discharge the nomination to the senate floor after the judiciary committee was deadlocked by a partyline vote. a final confirmation vote on judge jackson could come by the end of the week. the senate majority said it was unfortunate the senate had to vote to discharge the supreme court nomination and went on to outline the qualifications and judicial record suggesting she's more prepared to serve on the court then perhaps any nominee in living memory. >> madam president, it was just a short time ago in the senate judiciary committee that we voted to advance the nomination of judge ketanji brown jackson. the nomination will come for the senate. judge jackson is an outstanding nominee. she's earned support across the political and ideological spectrum and her qualifications areo second to none. most importantly, the record on the bench is one of evenhandedness, impartiality and independence. despite this, not a single republican on the judiciary com

that's because alaska senator lisa murkowski and utah's mitt romney said they will vote to confirm the historic nomination. along with susan collins, that makes three republicans who will support the nation's first black woman to the highest court. chuck schumer said a final confirmation vote will happen >>> ers lot more news ahead on the cbs "overnight news." here's to real flavors... real meals. real good. all of knorr's high quality pasta and rice sides are now made with no artificial flavors or preservatives. knorr. taste for good. how did olay top expensive creams? by staying on top of our game are now made with no artificial flavors or preservatives. with derm-recommended ingredients in every jar olay regenerist with niacinamide has hydration that beats the 100, 200, even $400 cream for smooth skin, try retinol24 for visibly firm skin, get collagen peptide for 2x brighter skin, get new vitamin c can't top this skin shop now at olay.com (woman) oh. oh! hi there. you're jonathan, right? the 995 plan! yes, from colonial penn. your 995 plan fits my budget just right. excuse me? aren'

how did you wind up with a governor like that and a senator like mitt romney? you know what's funny about our state is the dynamic they're shifting to be honest. i mean, the democrats here don't even believe in their own party anymore. they are constantly infiltrating infiltrating our p, messing with our primaries in twenty twenty the former democratic chair told everybody in the democratic party to join the republican party to mess with our primary. and so they're trying to water down and they're trying to really break in and mess with our own primaries. t >> but spencer cox and mitt romney aren't simply liberalsre who are working for the agenda of the democratic party , don't they ? are they have unmasked undisguised contempt for republican voters? i mean, it's just bewildering to watchew the loathingilderinge for you and your party and and that's what's difficult. i mean, we want the party to be a big open tent. we want there to to be room be r different ideas and different opinions. but they have to fall within the scope t of what we believe as republicans.
