well you let it to exactly where i wanted to go. after just months to confirm her to the bench, you have senator lindsey graham having this to say about the nomination. quote, the radical left has one president biden over yet again. you know this isn t his topic. your thoughts on what is motivating this commentary? well, i think the supreme court fights, unfortunately, have become in many cases, a part of affairs. even though historically we have seen many examples where the supreme court nomination isn t really fights. in my conversations with senior republicans today, with republicans on the hill, senior staff. i think it is very clear that republicans understand a few things are at play here. first of all, just jackson is going to be confirmed. second of all, it won t shift the balance of the court. i don t fully respect rare
he keep that momentum? and newt gingrich, by the way, did not use this opportunity at the podium to say congratulations, governor romney. nor did he even call the governor to concede florida. he just moved right on to the next stop. what does that mean? ashleigh, there s a huge buzz over facebook going public. you want a piece of the action? yes. you may need a lot of money to get in on the hottest ipo ever. christine romans is going to let us know if we can get in on the action. and this dash cam video. one officer watches as his partner swims to a sinking car. zero in. there are two women in the back, and they don t know how to swim. look what he did. you re going to find out from this man s voice what it was like to rescue these two women from that lake in texas. on the heels of that, ashleigh. knock knock. knock knock. who s there? the fbi with a chain saw tearing down your door. why? oops, by the way, it was a mistake. we ve made mistakes about the fbi be
but kind of a shake-up. gallup and show them on the screen, gallup released some republican primary data. rick perry, 29% ahead of mitt room romney, by 12 points. it s a flip-flop. sustainable? what is this? is rick perry the new front-runner? there s a case for that. this is a new poll, this is a poll less than two weeks since rick perry made it official. it shows rick perry is the national front-runner. a couple of caveats, the nomination isn t decided on a national poll, it s decided on who wins the contests in iowa and new hampshire, so that s important to take into consideration. of course, rudy giuliani, remember, was the national front-runner you read my mind. around this point. and hillary clinton, by the way, was the national front-runner far later into the fall in 2007 and we know how that turned out. maybe if i m mitt romney i m feeling pretty good that you
his memoir, dick cheney with his memoir. do you have to write a memoir? what do they get out of it? do you have any sense? is it to get your side of the story out? is it the first cut of history? i think it s some of that. we ve seen bush, you know, has not been received well in terms of the reviews of his presidency. i think i do think it s interesting, the connedie rice bit, it s only the girl that cries? tearfully admitted. that s not the last we ve heard of it. i want to play one thing. dick cheney. he writes after undergoing heart surgery in 2010, he was unconscious for weeks. during that period he had ra prolonged vivid dream he was living in an italian villa. can t escape the mainstream media in his vivid, conscious dreams. what do you make of that?
