ruth bader ginsburg will have to recuse herself. no question in my mind and i think donald trump will talk about that tonight. >> thanks for putting this out there, with the speculation that it will be that close of an election. i don't think it will be that close and she will have not to recuse herself. i think what's only surprising here is the candor, but let's be clear, i think we've learned that the justice's political leanings for a long time. >> you're not surprised to hear this from her? >> i don't think anyone is surprised and if you hear a lot of the dissenting opinions on the conservative and liberal size you will hear a lot more on the political leanings. citizens united was a very political, in my mind -- >> but you're talking about political leanings. this was personal. >> i think her comments were certainly careless, but on one hand refreshing because all of these judges' opinions are incredibly political. they deal with political decisions all of the time and let's drop the pretense of the robe and get pquit pretendi

remember last year ruth bader ginsburg had her eyes closed during part of the address. the cabinet with the exception of jeh johnson, they will be introduced as well. they will be walking in. jeh johnson is what they call the designated survivor. he is not there, but in the gallery, the first lady, michelle obama is walking in, with a nice round of applause. she has a bunch of special guests as well. >> the first lady remains incredibly popular. the politics go back and forth. there he is hugging the second lady, jill biden. she is very popular, and according to the president, probably also excited to leave the white house. >> there she is, she drove over with the president of the united states. dr. jill biden is right there. they're all applauding. there will be an empty chair there tonight as well, the deliberately wanted an empty chair for the victims of gun violence. >> that's right. governor malloy is also there, somebody who's also been very active in the push for -- >> here come the members of the cabinet. that's the secretary of the treasury jack lew. there's jo

supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg, she said some very tough things about donald trump calling him a faker, made it clear she has no great respect for the republican presumptive nominee. early this morning he responded, donald trump, and we'll put it up on the screen saying justice ginsburg of the supreme court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about this. her mind is shot. she should resign. is that appropriate for a presidential candidate to resign. >> i think the question is is it appropriate for supreme court justice to weigh in politically and i have to say absolutely not. it's very appropriate to defend your self when you're being attacked will this is something unprecedented, i would say unethical at this point. this goes to show you that the left when they are losing, they will lash out against anyone, ethics or not. >> is he also calling into question her mental capacity right now in that tweet? she's been on the court for 23 years. >> absolutely not. what he's saying is, everyone was shocked by the statement. they are talking about i today a

host: some of the speakers abuse -- views regarding ruth bader ginsburg. next week or from oscar on the democrat line. caller: good morning. i just think republicans are short memoried. you don't remember when 46 representatives wrote a letter over and above secretary of state kerry's head to the iranian ayatollah. and nobody criticized legislative branch for doing that. all of these republican representatives wrote that letter, 46 of them. and all of these republican today are criticizing one judge because it's the judicial branch. wrong were all of those are presented as an senators who wrote that letter undermining international affairs? overstepping the executive branch? it's very upsetting to hear these people call hillary clinton crockett. -- cricket. -- crooked. the only crooked guy is donald trump. when you apply for a job and they check your credit and you have bankruptcies, trust me, you will not get hired. america, wake up. host: we will hear next from michigan, independent line. christina. caller: thank you for letting me voice my opinion. we h

there's been talk about ruth bader ginsburg retiring. some on the left have encouraged her to retire while barack obama can make the nomination. there is a west wing theory that says president obama should try to convince her to retire now, replace her with a young liberal and replace scalia with an old conservative and cut a deal. season five of west wing. truth imitates fiction. if you look at the ages of some of the justices and do the math, it is likely the next president will get to work three nominees. ,ith nine people on the court that is a significant change. if you elect a republican, you get to work three lifetime appointments in one direction and if you elect a liberal -- the supreme court picks you could argue are the longest legacy any president leaves behind. host: littleton, colorado. tim is calling on the independent line. good morning to you. caller: i've seen you a couple times on c-span. i intend on buying your book and reading it. i love to read. i have a question about the evolution of the party. guy on thea young bo

this initial comments made by ruth bader ginsburg and trump quickly fired back. according to the "post" saying in a tweet that she should resign and her mind was "shocked." -- "shot." host: do you think this would be the end of it? guest: i hope it is not the end of it when it comes to the legal issue. first of all, i do not think there is any need and it is not appropriate to question the mental facilities or faculties of justice ginsburg. she has continued to write opinions.profound you can disagree with them, but there's no evidence at all that she is diminished in any way mentally. the does not take away from fact that she committed in my view a very serious ethical violation. non-apology, apology should not end this. the american people need to look at the supreme court and see its thes and not just great aspects of that institution. there are a number of flaws. i have suggested to major reforms. one of them is in code of ethics. the others i believe are too small. i've advocated for the expansion of the supreme court for 19 members for about 20 years. he ha

a president hillary clinton will appoint three or four more ruth bader ginsburgs. that will last for a generation. so this election is not about the next four years because a supreme court will frustrate anything any republican president will do simply by judicial fiat. and we have seen the four obama and clinton appointees to the supreme court go right down the line on the ultraleft agenda, not only on social issues but they have rubber stamped every regulatory overreach that has come out of the obama administration. that costs our country jobs, it makes us less competitive, and if we want to bring jobs back from overseas, we need to have a competitive, less regulated, less taxed business community, because we can't compete against the chinas and the mexicos and the indias if we add all these costs of regulations and tacks on top of everything else. that is what is going on in this election. we need support not just for the top of the ticket, but for the republicans who are running for the united states senate and the united states house of representatives. and on

and it's not that ruth bader ginsburg every time she votes thinks how would bill clinton like me to vote on this issue. t's just that she has shared a certain ideology with bill clinton and she was appointed as someone who shared that ideology, and she expresses it through her opinions. and you could say the same thing of scalia, who was appointed in 1986, confirmed by unanimous senate, and yet was perhaps the most partisan of the justices and the leered of the conservative wing. his death was a dagger to the heart of the conservative wing and that is why his successor is so controversial. host: let's look at another excerpt from your book. you say modern presidents have flavored their appointments as part of the political president's perceived need to accomplish, "balance." the result is that the court has become more rather than less polarized, more rather than less deeply divided, and more, rather than less, conservative. how does -- explain how the desire to seek balance has made the court more partisan in your view. guest: well, i think the appointments in recent years have been fla

the justice in question in this case is ruth bader ginsburg. it was not part of lawyers arguing before the court or opinion, they were just interviews about donald trump. and her comments criticized him. house speaker paul ryan was asked to respond. >> i find it very peculiar, and i think it's out of place for an appointed branch of government. that shows bias to me. those of us who are in the elected branch of government, who get elected to things, i think that's perfectly in the realm. but for someone on the supreme court, who is going to be calling balls and strikes in the future, based upon whatever the next president and congress does, that strikes me as inherently biased and out of the realm. i think that's something she should not have done. i don't think that shows she intends on being impartial in the future. >> josh earnest was also asked about it. >> does the white house have any concerns about that kind of language from a supreme court justice, or feel that it's appropriate for her to be making those kinds of -- opining in that way
