one was when they traveled to india together and they went to visit the taj mahal and justice scaliadescribed how he watched justice ginsburg listened to the tour guide to describe a love story behind the building of the taj mahal and he said he saw tears start to stream from her eyes and as he told me that, i'm 98% sure i got a tear not related to an opinion or dissent. [laughter] the other story he likes to talk about was parasailing, justice ginsburg when she was a young 70-year-old was in need of our day legal exchange standing in a hotel looking at the water and saw all these people parasailing. she turned to her husband and said that looks like fun. we should do that. he said are you crazy. if you do that, i will remember you to our grandchildren. the demon that was the host said i will go parasailing with you. his wife was equally horrified and said if there is a there's t and they can only save one of you, it's better not to be you. [laughter] , so they went parasailing and they had to wait because the dean was a normal sized human being. [laughter] off they went and plopped

that were similar even though justice scalia was a generation ahead of him. alayna kagan is trying to become a partner to work on things together and that ground is similar to brett kavanaugh. they knew each other from social activities in the chevy chase maryland dc area, belong to the same club so there is something their too. >> they both like beer. i couldn't resist. that was a cheap shot. i am sorry. it was a long day, there was a fire alarm. >> if you had to pick some adjectives to describe john roberts to somebody, how would you describe it? >> determined, focused, smart, strategizing, controlling, very controlling, very aware, devoted, always prepared, always prepared, and excellent oral advocate and he shows up at the bench always prepared for cases. most of them do but not all, all the time. he likes things to be predictable. he likes to know what is going to happen. he is not a naturally spontaneous man. when we heard him say in november that line to rebuke donald trump, there are no obama judges, no trump judges, no bush or clinton judges i think

similar in the justice scalia was a generation ahead of him. and i think that they are trying to become more of a partner to work on things together, and i have to say his background is also similar to brett kavanaugh. they knew each other from social activities in the chevy chase maryland and dc area, belonged to the same club, played poker at times, so there is a bit of a fellowship there. >> but does he like beer. [laughter] i couldn't resist. i'm sorry. i'm sorry. [laughter] it's been a long day. there was a fire alarm. [laughter] if you had to pick some adjectives to describe john roberts to somebody who doesn't watch the court or go to oral arguments, how would you describe that? >> determined, focused, smart, strategizing, controlling, very controlling, very aware. a real history buff, loves history, devoted to his family. always prepared. he was an excellent oral advocate and he shows up at the bench always prepared for cases, most of them do but not all, all the time. he like likes things to be predictable. he liked to know what's goin

ginsberg: i will give you a taste of scalia-ginsburg. it opens with scalia's rage aria.undelegated in style. he says the justices are blind. how can they possibly spout this. the constitution says absolutely nothing about this. and then in my coloratura soprano voice, i answer, dear justice scalia, you are searching for right lines, but problems don't have easy answers, but the great thing about our constitution is like our society, it can evolve. that sets up the difference between us. the plot of scalia-ginsberg is roughly based on the magic flute. [laughter] jus. ginsberg: scalia is locked up in a dark room. he is being punished for accepted dissenting. [laughter] jus. ginsberg: i then emerge from a glass ceiling. [laughter] [applause] jus. ginsberg: to help him pass the test he needs to pass to get out of the dark room. then a character left over from don giovanni. he said, he is your enemy. why would you want to help him? i say he is not my enemy, he is my dear friend. and then when we sing a wonderful duet -- [laughter] jus. ginsberg: that goes, we are different, w

[applause]. >> justice scalia is locked up in the darkroom,. [laughter].xcessive dissent. [laughter]. and i entered the darkroom with feelings. [laughter]. [applause]. i told him i was there to help me pass the test he must have. and why would you want to help him. he is your enemy. and i explained he has brought my enemy. he is my dear friend. and then we see wonderful duet. [laughter]. then goes like this. we are different and we are one. an impartial legal text, but one in a reference to the institution and for the united states constitution. [applause]. [applause]. >> i know this seems like a very short time but we already exceeded it. and i think the justice and her brother first, and all of the people here who has waited so long to come. this is been a lovely morning and thank you justices.

[laughter] do you ever sneak away to shoot a few hoops in the day? >> i like to ride my bike and grow and ski. i'd liki like to do a lot of th, run. occasionally i will go up there. my old boss, byron white who is now forgotten but i would like to remember him a little bit fro,first of justice from color. two special places in the court i think of him and that is one. he was one of the great athletes of his day, rogue scholar, highest-paid nfl football player beating russia. i don't think that will happen again on the supreme court. it would be neat if it did. anyway, he had a mean game of horse. we would go up there and play. when he was younger he used to elbow the clerks and take them down. by the time i got there

i got a call from missus scalia, in jesus we are about to have the first scalia law clerk reunion since my husband passed. would you be my dave for the night. >> and i said of course. about halfway through dinner, my bloody, the big grin on his face.

decision i made in my entire political career was to not fill the supreme court vacancy when justice scalia passed away. that was the beginning and we have the exclamation point here three years the public would be interested to read about, that's why the president and i collaborated on this paperback. >> sean: i was surprised president obama left so many vacancies and didn't fill those vacancies. >> i will tell you why, i was in charge of what we did the last two years of the obama administration. >> sean: i will give you full credit for that and take a bow. congratulations on the vote. -- book. we will be watching very closely in the senate. do you see any possible affections? >> i doubt it. there is zero chance the president will be removed from office and i'm hoping we'll have no defections at all. >> sean: senator mitch mcconnell, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> sean: when we come back, eric holder. he's actually saying bill barr is unfit to lead the doj. we have his history. obama's former attorney general may want to take a real hard long look in the mirror before makin

scalia said this -- secretary scalia said this, these job numbers, lowest unemployment rate in mississippi and america's history, the -- history, the highest employment rate. what's important to note, these things don't just happen. it's not just happenstance. it's the fact that good policies work. they work for mississippi's economy and they work for america's economy. and so i just want to thank you very much for your leadership on regulatory reform, your adership on cutting taxes, lowering regulations and the trade deal. it's making a difference in my tate and across the country. >> i want to build on the momentum of where we are. we've lowered regulatory costs of $50 million over three years. we're going to double that in the year 2020. what that looks like is about $220 billion of savings to the economy per year. so substantial growth from deregulatory initiatives. that's about $3,100 per family that's going to benefit when we're all said and done, when the president and the vice president are all said and done, of real money in households' pockets. that looks like about three mortgag

mike, thank you as well as jeanne scalia, the director and the rest. thank you very much. it's been an incredible period of time economically for our country. probably the best ever. we have the best unemployment numbers in over 54 years. we have the best numbers for african-americans. this came out today. african-american, hispanic, asian-americans. numbers for women are at a record number. if it keeps going like this it ill be very shortry be historic. nobody would have believed it. frankly in the campaign, i would have never said it. but i felt we were going to do very well. that's despite the fact that we're paying interest to people that have their money in the bank. so they have a great competitive advantage. we're by far and away the most successful economy anywhere in the world. we're doing better than any other economy in the world. and you know, we've created many trillions of dollars of wealth since the election. other countries have lost many trillion yons of dollars. we're by far the largest economy in the world. and that was going to change for many years the

as well as secretary scalia, secretary chao, acting o.m.b. director russ voke and acting director chris. thank you for being here. it's been an incredible period of time economically for our country. probably the best ever. we have the best unemployment numbers in over 54 years. we have the best numbers for african-americans, this came out today again, african-american, hispanic, asian american, the best numbers we've ever had. numbers for women are at a record number. we think that it will probably if it keeps going like this, very shortly be totally historic. but there are numbers that nobody ever believed possible. nobody would have believed it. frankly, in the campaign. i would have never said it but i thought we were going to do very well. that's despite the fact that we're paying interest to people that have their money in the bank and other countries are not so they have a competitive advantage. yet we're by far, far and away, the most successful economy anywhere in the world. we're doing better than any other economy in the world. and

colleagueue -- my old who i miss quite a lot, justice scalia -- used to have a line is that if you take this personally, you are in the wrong business. i think that is basically true. we are dealing with important matters. of course we are going to criticize each other. of course we are going to tell each other, you got the law really wrong today. that does not mean we can't think the other person is operating in good faith and a good person. -- it seems to me you can have good friendships with people you disagree with. for that matter, not everybody you agree with you like. [laughter] if you don't like everybody you agree with, you should like some you don't agree with. i think we all get that. one of the things that binds us together if there are only eight other people in the world who know what my job is like. where you cannot talk to a lot of people about it. in that sense, it is a tight community. it is just the nine of us doing this. we are the only people that can understand what the experience is like. you try to do other things. we have a lot of lunches together. arguments and

my predecessor, antonin scalia, smoked a pipe at his confirmation hearing. i don't think we are likely to see that again. my old boss, byron white, his confirmation hearing lasted 15 minutes. so did mine for the tenth circuit. [laughter] david: things were a little different the next time around. justice gorsuch: and during the confirmation process, i was truly surprised, david, at how many people thought a judge is just a politician who wears a robe. and should promise to do certain things, and rules certain ways in cases they have not heard. everybody has told me, you must abide president, follow precedent, and tell me their favorite precedent. then they tell me something they don't like. i meet with one it is one thing, i meet with the other and it is the exact opposite, of course. and it's one thing to think that judges occasionally, mistakenly, and follow their personal preferences over the honest views of the laws de' demand, and it's another thing isirely to think that it the way it should be. and then i got to learn it and think about the subject mor

, the father of justice scalia. the nicest man you would ever want to meet but he believed you should not be allowed to teach in college as if accused and being accused was enough. being accused was it and if you defend it as i did. i was very anti-communist. i grew up in a house where we hated hitler and hated stalin. i was very anti-communist but because i defended the right of people accused of being communists at brooklyn college the president of the college refused to recommend me to law school. i was called fellow traveler, pinkoh, much like today. i'm going to fight the sexual mccarthyism of today with the same vigor i thought the political mccarthyism of the 1950s in 1940s and i'm not going to rest until the truth comes out. there will be several trials. she has sued me for defamation. i have sued her back. david boys has sued me for defamation and my legal team is considering the option of suing him back. curtis sliwa called me a pedophile. i will be suing him. bringing him to court. another person who hate

i had breakfast with antonin scalia once with 12 other congressmen. and the topic was restoring the constitutional balance of government. and school lee said you've got all the power you need in the constitution. don't look to the supreme court. in one of my colleagues said but impeachment is so unwieldy. and by the way he was talking about obama when we were in the majority. and scalia said i'm not talking about impeachment, you have the power of the purse. you find everything you hate obama doing. and the democrats are about to funds everything that trump wants to do. this literally the same week, may be the same day they are going to vote to impeach trump, they are gonna fund another cr that does not cut 1 penny from his budget. kennedy: and they've had this umc a deal done for some time, but nancy had to pull it out of coin purse to prove that congressional democrats are actually doing something. and i really feel like this is a page of the presidents book. he is very good at deflecting bad as well as some other things and you can call me on this.

maria: of course, we will steve can jean scalia and i want to get his take on the supreme court as well, he was spot on earlier, jon, talking about the economy and what's going on in markets, let's take a look at markets, all major averages closed at record territory, record highs, the dow finishing up 31 points, s&p up 1 point and nasdaq up 9, all good enough to put us at all-time highs, investors are getting worried about fedex, shipping giant lowered second -- lower than expected second quarter results and lowering 2020 guidance, changing shipping habits and competition of amazon being blamed for the slump, big move on the stock and you wonder what it tells us about other companies in broad environment. >> right, under some circumstances you can look at this as troubling news for the global economy if there's less shipping going on, it shows, it's a sign that the global economy is slowing down, i think that's not completely what's going on in the case of fedex, fedex has some company specific issues, one it's dealing amazon as a customer and another has been struggling to compete aga

scalia is lecture was rule of law and the rule of laws.hat is your assessment of the rule of law in this country? >> if you cannot tell i am an optimist. i want to share a few facts on this one. if you figures. bear with me. people say to me, i meet pessimistic people. the courts this, the supreme court that. i say we can quibble about this or that case. but should we step back just a minute and look at the forest? let us stop focusing on the tree. i will get to the tree i promise. but let us look at the forest first. in this country, every year there are 50 million lawsuits filed. we are a litigious bunch. i'm not talking about your parking tickets. [laughter] i'm not counting your traffic speeding tickets. that is another 50 million. just 50 million lawsuits every year. i'm going to move to the federal court system because i know that system better. the numbers in that system are probably even more impressive. of all of those cases that went into the federal court, 95% are resolved by a trial court, judge, and jury. done. that is the end

so scalia's lecture was the rule of law as a lot of rules. what is your assessment of the rule of law in this country? am, if yousuch: i can't tell, an optimist. i want to share a few figures. bear with me. -- i meet to me pessimistic people and they say, oh, the courts this, the supreme court that. quibble about can this or that case, but shouldn't we step back just a minute and look at the forest? let's not focus just on the tree, i will get to the tree and a minute, i promise. but let's look at the tree first. in this country, every year, there are 50 million lawsuit filed. i am not counting your parking tickets. [laughter] i am not counting your traffic/speeding tickets. that is another 50 million, ok? 50 million lawsuits every year. i am going to move to the federal court system because i know that system better, but the numbers in the state court system are more impressive. of all those cases that wind up in the federal court system, 95% court, aved by a trial judge and a jury. done. that is the end of the case. i represented many losin

the father of justice scalia, and the nicest man you ever want to meet, but he believed that people should not be allowed to teach in colleges if they were accused, and being accused was enough. being accused was it. and if you defended, as i did dish was very anti-communist, drew up in a house where we hated hitler and hated stalin and i was not a -- i was very anticommunist but because i defend ted right of people accused of being communists at brooklyncome, the president of the college refused to recommend me to law school. i was called fellow traveler, a pinko, much lick today, and so i'm going to fight the sexualing mccarthyism of today with the same vigor i fought the political mccarthyism of the 1950 and 1940s and won't rest until the truth comes out. soso there will be several trials. she has sued me for defamation. i'm sued her back. david boyce is now sued me for defamation and my legal team is considering the option of suing him back. curtis schliewe would called me a pedophile. we are going to be suing him and bringing him to court. another person who hates me, writes blogs abo

>> senator mcconnell proved to us with the vacancy of antonin scalia on supreme court that he would ignore logic and common sense and senate tradition. he announced he would switch his position 180 degrees if the same thing happened to president trump. so the starting point is not good. it takes four republican senators who care enough for the senate, for all of our colleagues to say, let's do this properly, readless of the outcome, whatever it may be, at the end of the day, let's turn around and say, as alexander hamilton promised, the senate is the right place for this trial. >> brennan: we know the votes don't appear to be there to remove the president. when it comes to the process of this, democrats do get a say. it does take as lindsey graham has said, 51 votes to approve a witness. do you plan to call them and who do you want the hear from? >> i can tell you, where i'm standing, if it's a true trial, there needs to be evidence, and we have had an effort by the administration to deny any evidence to the house of representatives, documents, witnesses. at one point chairman nadler invit

he promised them he would appoint scalia-like justices. he delivered. he promised he would support religious liberties, he has delivered. and his faith and opportunity initiative he has currently in place at the white house is a great sounding board between social conservatives and this president. look, billy graham may have been the driving force for christianity today, but that outlet is now driving under the influence of left initiatives, and there is no disputing that. you look on their website, the stories they write, they do have a left leaning slant. let me say this i don't see a problem with that. republicans don't corner the market on christianity. there are christians that lean-to the left, those that lean-to the right. this happens to be an outlet that does lean-to the left. and that is perfectly fine. you can be a christian and have conservative views and be a christian and have left leaning views. to say this is crack with evangelicals and president trump is completely inaccurate. social evangelicals of this country still stand behind trump
