even they support vinita gupta. vinita gupta is one of the senior justice department officials who is not confirmed in this administration because republicans are not only blocking her nomination, they are slow-walking it through the senate. they're trying to trip it up, trying to keep her from being confirmed. and here's the thing. here's why this is all worth knowing. ready? who do you think is the republican senator who is leading the charge against vinita gupta and has stopped her from being confirmed thus far? so, merrick garland doesn't have any of his top people there with him at the justice department. vinita gupta's going to be the number three official at the justice department. she's not there yet. why is that? well, there's a republican senator taking point on this, leading the charge to try to keep her from being confirmed. who is that? it's a senator from texas. a senator from texas who used to be attorney general of the state of texas. it's texas senator john cornyn, who, when he was attorney general

i think vinita gupta will get through.e called the republican convention three nights of racism, xenophobia and outrageous lies, that is what every democrat was saying. if that was a bar to confirmation, there is no democrat on capitol hill who could have made it. it depends what you said and how much other people in the party were saying the same sort of thing. >> my frustration is they call it "a mistake." to me a mistake is calling someone by the wrong name. it's not making a series of calculated decisions to help yourself. then that is saying i regret it. i'm deeply remorseful makes it all go away. i got two guys really smart on the politics. let me ask you about 2022. roy blunt announced he is retiring. we've got a lot of open seats. ari start with you and then to byron. the map looks tough for senate republicans. >> no, i don't think so. by my analysis, by the most liberal analysis you can find to say what is a race one party can steal from another? i think there are nine seats could be competitive. the democrats you

. >> vinita. tracy -- >> reporter: in parliament a lawmaker shared the names of women killed in. uk this year. among them six who perished the same week sarah went missing. for david chunnen, who cam pained to overturn his mother's sentence for killing his abusive father, there's a lot men in britain can do to better understand and aid women's plight. >> it's time for misogyny to be recognized as a hate crime. she's are offensive acts on a sliding scale that creates harm and violence and trauma for women throughout their lives. they all have it in common, and men are mind to it. >> reporter: the scenes of police arresting masked women holding a vigil despite covid rules sparked anger nationwide. and politicians from all sides demanded an explanation. the met said they hadn't wanted to act. >> but we were placed in this position because of the overriding need to protect people's safety. >> reporter: sarah evard's family said their daughter was beautiful and bright, a shining example to us all. and the senseless tragedy of her death, many hope her memory may guide the way for other

so that's where i think this new justice department, kimberly clark, vinita gupta, the people being puto the justice department right now by joe biden, have to be aggressive about this because republicans aren't going to stop. >> we have seen activist civil rights divisions in justice departments in the past, in recent american history. there's no reason why it can't happen again. both of these gentlemen have agreed to stay where they are while we slip in a commercial break. coming up an early delay in the trial some are calling the most important in our modern history. we'll talk about it when we come back. these folks don't have time to go to the post office they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. overspending on a retinol cream? get a 4-week trial plus postage and ajust one jar of olay retinol24 hydrates better than the $100 retinol cream. for smooth, bright skin or your money back. olay. face anything. and try new retinol24 max. >>> i see these

and by the way, this is an argument for getting kristen clark and vinita gupta confirmed. they know what they're doing on hate crimes and we need to get them through the senate. >> that's a great point. thank you very much. those are two nominees who would be deputies at the justice department. >>> a few weeks ago i called out republicans for claiming to be the party of the working class while staying silent on the union fight happening at amazon. now we have an update, an important one, from none other than marco rubio. you're going to want to see this. that's next. want to see this that's next. r? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonial penn? -i am. we put it off long enough. we are getting that $9.95 plan, today. (jonathan) is it time for you to call about the $9.95 plan? i
