it worked for him, it worked for harry reid in 2010. he faced a similar tough well-funded appointment -- well-funded opponent and he went all around the vada and said -- nevada and said reelect me and you will keep benefiting from the fact that you have a leader of the senate representing you. host: matthew in new york, democrats line. we are running short on time, so quickly with your comment or question. caller: absolutely not. i don't care what party you represent. this is not a good idea. going back to this idea of earmarks is not good. it is just more corruption waiting in the wings. get rid of the big money, out of the super pac's, get rid of it all. going back is not a good idea. we should be a progressive nation. come up with better ideas. the corruption has got to go. host: that is met in new york. -- matt in new york. guest: that is an understandable view that a lot of conservatives and liberals will have. this was a practice that at times went sideways a while ago, and i know there are a lot of people that think that this is

but i heard harry reid say the most remarkable thing is they followed it. they did. have guns or riots. or stone throwing and i then say to say i did the stanford students i was talking to and said i know when i say that at least 20% maybe 30% of you. are thinking well too bad. there were a few riots. too bad there weren't a few stones thrown and so forth. i said before you come to that conclusion. i would like you. to look on television or elsewhere of what happens in places and times in countries where they decide there are differences that way. because rule the rule of law is not an absolute. and it is only one small part. of this country's values embedded in this document the constitution, but it is an important part. and that's all that's all i want them to do. it's called comparison and i believe though i'm biased because i'm a judge perhaps on biased. i don't think so. i believe that it is important for us. to maintain that respect for a rule of law that ever since andrew jackson refused. to carry out john marsh's opinion saying northern georgia belongs to che

a lot about judicial philosophies in 2013 harry reid broke senate rules to change senate rules to set the threshold for confirmation at 51. i said at the time you may be sorry you did this. neither of those moves played out as colleagues intended neither did the disgraceful firestorm that would visit upon justice thomas and jenny back in 1991. i'm not going to dwell on that episode tonight. there's no reason to we all know what the people behind the smear campaign revealed actually about themselves. but i'll say this i was inspired then and i'm still inspired today by the courage. the resilience in the faith with justice thomas endured those months and emerged with an appetite for service. still intact the very same grit that carried clarence through pinpoint. and savannah the same stubborn faithfulness that led him ultimately to keep faith. in both his church and his country even after they both let him down. in ugly ways as a young like man the same commitment to principle that compelled clarence to blaze and uncomfortable trail in washington. disrupting everybody's expectations all

>> that whole process started with senator harry reid, late senator reed, from nevada. and that's what held the door to that nuclear option. and that could change the dynamic. that's the fight that would try to change it for voting rights and it did not pass because as i mentioned, and the number is 50 plus one. so they have the numbers, but in this case they expect them to go pretty bold but as far as ideologically, i think you would see someone a little bit more to the left. >> harris: bret baier, thank you so much. let's light in with shannon bream. jonathan turley i was mentioning because he was here this afternoon with breaking news were outnumbered. people who lead sometimes get lost in the fray and we are so focused on the people who potentially could be on the short-list coming in immediately, we kind of glossed over the person who is leaving. what can you tell us about stephen breyer? the u.s. supreme court justice, a man, and how he has fit into this court. and what footprints he leaves behind. >> i can tell you personally he's a very congenial guy and he does

reid international airport. so certainly appreciate the central role that aviation place in the economy of las vegas and nevada. with regard to the aviation consumer protection role, it's been a major focus of my time as deputy general counsel. right now serving addressing the concerns we are hearing from the wave of complaints related to recalls. so ensuring where addressing those complaints, ensuring that we are pushing through with the 18 active investigations we have related to the failure for recalls. looking at some of the rulemaking discussed by chair cantwell this morning, and ensuring that we're really looking forward to making sure that consumers have the right information and are protected correctly by the airlines. in addition, on the safety front, working with the federal aviation administration to ensure that the safety related rules our top priority for the department and we do everything we can to support those efforts. >> thank you. i appreciate it. see my time is just about up so i have a quest

of course that simply followed what the former senate democratic leader harry reid did in 2013 on the executive calendar. that happened in february or march -- this is 2017. this letter was written in april of 2017. but if there's no more extended debate on this question -- i would invite the senator from virginia, through the chair. mr. kaine: mr. president, if i might respond. senator cotton, what angus said and i'm so glad senator lankford stayed in the room because you said we changed our position. i'm glad you put it up, because others were saying that without it. we are united in our determination to preserve the ability of noams engage in extended debate when bills are on the senate floof. we couldn't even debate this bill. you guys wouldn't let us. you kept using the 60-vote block on the motion to proceed so we couldn't get on the bill. in the five years since 2017, many of us have come to realize this is what we want, but the current abuse of senate rules is blocking us from having discussions about voting rights or about matters that you think are important. this is -- this

that's what your experience has been i'm sure as an aide to harry reid. >> absolutely. this is the nature of our polarized environment right now not to bring it back to the filibuster but it blocks anything the majority wants to accomplish. it never was supposed to be this way but that's the senate we have now. that's what republicans can be counted on to do for the remainder of president biden's term and the flip side of this, though, is that if donald trump were ever to come back to power or republican president come back to power, they would accomplish a lot. i mean, they can't articulate an agenda because they don't want to say what it would be because the things they seek to do are deeply unpopular. republicans want to give more tax cuts to the wealthy, they want to confirm super conservative judges and end women's right to choose and they want to enact massive voter suppression laws and cotfy trump's big lie but they can't say that out loud. the only thing they can do is obstruct and hope voters don't notice anything they want to accomplish. >> yeah, john said out

that was harry reid to a t. if you were lucky enough someone carried about and called his friend, he cared with you with every fiber in his being. the generosity extended far beyond things sartorial. a few years ago harry called up my wife and told her i sent you and chuck a special gift. the greatest thing. you are going to love it. it's a month's subscription to netflix . i didn't have -- iris didn't have the heart to tell him we subscribed for four years already. clearly harry wasn't big on new technology. he didn't text. he didn't mail. and as you know, whenever he called you he hung up so quickly you would think he was allergic to telecommunications. what harry was allergic to was the artifice of politics that he considered a distraction from his two passion. getting good things done in this capitol. harry never forgot where he came from. nor did he forget the people. his childhood friends and neighbors who just like harry early on struggled to get by. he kept up with so many of them. we remember hearing al

senator harry reid said in a 2008 interview that as long as he was the senate majority leader the nuclear option would never happen under his watch. "as long as i am the leader, the answer is no." he said, "i think we should just forget that. that is a black chapter in the history of the senate. i hope we never, ever get to do that again because i really do believe it will ruin our country."he was talking about 2005 when this side of the isle was the majority and we were going to change, there was an effort that we were able to diffuse in order to do exactly what we did today. in 2008, the majority leader said, we rallied against republicans who fought for the measure, saying it would lead to a unicameral legislature and it was purposely set up by the founding fathers to have different rules than the house of representatives. such a measure like the nuclear option would "change our country forever." and i am sorry to say, i agree with him.i agree with what he said in 2008. yet on thursday, on a nearly partyline vote, the democrats abruptly changed the senate balance of power. so here is t

practically speaking, though, because we are not going to get to ask her that, when harry reid ended the 60 vote tlesh followed for judicial nominees in 2013 republicans then used that as a pretext for ending the 60-vote threshold for supreme court nominees four years later. so i want to share what mitt romney said might happen if you end the filibuster now. >> there's also a reasonable chance republicans will win both houses in congress and that donald trump himself could once again be elected president in 2024. have democrats thought what would it mean for them, for the democrat minority to have no power whatsoever? >> what do you think about that? >> i don't believe that it will create the terrible consequences because i believe a lot of the things we're talking about are popular. i don't believe mitt romney himself if we passed voting rights act would vote to repeal that. i think there are senators like susan collins who would vote to repeal that. when you have fundamental legislation that is good and just repealing that becomes difficult. we saw the republicans couldn't repeal e
