my over 30 years as a talk show host the phones ring when you say something that s really divisive is because people love the fight. howard: ding ding. and whether it s a democrat or republican, they love the fight. the media cothat, and do that, and everybody profits off it whether monetarily or politically. we see that now more than ever, and i would have to say that a it s sad, because i do agree with something justice breyer said in his remarks after his announcement of retirement, was that this constitution for our founding forefathers, this belief, that s what really holds us together as the experiment howard: i want to slip in one more thing because there s a lot of chatter about maybe kamala harris would be named to the high court. let s take a look. we re just having a little fun with the kamala thing, right in. [laughter] is this crazy? well, you know, it isn t crazy. what does it say about the vice president or about, i don t
whatever it is that you want to talk about. look, i think jen psaki does a great job for the president, but a lot of this, howie, it comes from the if top. this is president biden s decision. he has to decide how he wants to interact with the press corps. i think he should do it more. i think longer form interviews would probably be a good idea as well. i think the shouted questions doesn t work as well for him. howard: the sound bite age that we live in. yeah, that s true. howard: biden has been caught on hot mics before. does he not know or care whether he s cursing or insulting somebody? well, it s interesting you bring that up, because i think a lot of democrats thought that him getting picked up on a hot mic saying that about obamacare thought of him as a great hero, right? that was something they thought, yeah, it is a big f-ing deal, right in they were all so excited about it. and there was this article in politico this week that said this exchange with peter doocy and his n
right? so doocy said is inflation going to be a problem for you in the midterm, and instead of saying we are concerned about it and that s why i m doing x, y, z, in fact, peter, that s why i m having this meeting today, and i m top of it, and then you wouldn t have had any of this this. howard: one of 27 ways he could have handled this. i know you remember when george w. bush, thinking he wasn t being heard, called a new york times reporter call but the best part of that exchange was he said it to dick cheney, the vice president, who looked over and said, bigtime. howard: i remember that. we dealt with that for years. obviously, the president felt bad about it. eye thought president biden and peter doocy handled it perfectly. make a call, blow it off. howard: yeah, i m glad that widen called him biden call
battles. but what really matters is that people understand the constitution and interpret it faithfully, because that is important for all of us regardless of whether we re male or female, black, brown, white. this is what unites us as a country, is our constitution and our founding principles. and anyone can lay claim to that and should lay claim to that, and it s not about what genitalia you have or what skin color you have. howard: well, that s a good point. but since you brought up clarence thomas, it was george w. bush naming him to replace thurgood marshall. leslie, why are emotions running so high in this media debate when everybody knows it s virtually certain that a 51-50 with kamala harris breaking the tie in the senate will confirm whoever priden nominates? and just president biden nominates? and just as the democrats lost with the battles over merrick garland and amy coney barrett and it doesn t change the 6-3 balance of the court? ah, howie, one of the reasons
