issue decision after decision that runs so flagrantly against public opinion. and so you sort of have to ask yourself what motivates that, how could they possibly wake up every day and sort of get so excited about taking on 80% of the country on issues from guns to abortion to voting rights. and what they've done is to a person they've convinced themselves that they are the persecuted minorities in this country and that they are the aggrieved party. maureen's column didn't even get into brett kavanaugh who famously tried to say that christine blasey ford's allegations were somehow revenge for the clintons. but there is this sense of grievance among all the conservative justices that i think motivates them to continue to plow forward and just tune out all these calls for ethics reform no matter how loud they grow. and so in one sense dick durbin is correct, that john roberts does have the power in his hands in dick durbin's words to do something about this. but john roberts doesn't have clean hands on this issue either. we've read the reporting about jane roberts and her clients that haven't been disclosed. and this goes to the flaws of
acting the way they've been acting. do you think, though, that they're clearly staring in the reflecting pool all day everywhere, all day every day, alito quotes things that have been said about him everywhere from newspaper coverage to coverage on this very network. they're obviously -- i don't know how they're getting anything done. i understand that they are a little behind. it's because they're sitting around watching cable all day. do you think we're getting to a point where the people who can, people like senator blumenthal, people like durbin, will do the things they need to do to have a real congressional investigation? >> well, first of all, i agree that maureen dowd column was quite delicious. maureen likes to put her political subjects on the couch, so to speak, and famously talked about obama as spock-like. but i think she really nailed it in terms of what's going on in the heads of these republican justices. if you take a step back and think about it, what these republican justices are embarked on is a pretty remarkable thing in terms of their willingness to spit into the political wind and
comfort for me, that maybe it is him saying hi or it brings me back to that moment of the day of his funeral where things were really hard. and there was such an emotional journey, but that rainbow centered everything and was, look for me there, here i am, hi. >> my thanks to the iconic martins tavern in georgetown where you heard luke went with his father. the book is "look for me there" out today. and to luke and maureen, no matter where you are in the world, you are always part of the nbc family. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online on facebook and on twitter at mitchell reports. lindsey reiser is in for "chris jansing reports" right now. good day, everybody. i'm lindsey reiser in for chris
my father and worked his way through college, and it didn't fall on deaf ears, and i was shaken up by it. >> anyone who has lost anyone close to them, this is a book that can help. it is not easy about your mom. your mom is still here doing great. maureen is a force of nature. i love her to death, i know you do, too. how's this changed things for you two? >> when one parent dies, your relationship with the surviving one for the child always changes. in my case it was this mix of you're now the sort of man of the house. there are all these logistical things that dad used to also take care of and sometimes it's, you're my son, just do it. so it was trying to navigate this pattern of where really are you in the structure? and also as a mom, she was more sort of the disciplinarian where my dad was the good cop/bad cop. he was the easier guy to get along with at some points. but then i realized when i started traveling -- my mother was a peace corps volunteer at a
>> janice: a beautiful day. i have friends with me, who is your name? >> peggy harvard. >> janice: is this your first trip to new york? >> much. >> janice: you are famous on tv. are you sisters? >> that is my mother-in-law. >> janice: beautiful, my friend. >> she is taking me on vacation. >> maureen and bob. >> janice: michigan fans? what happens if they win today? >> if they win the 16, they go to the elite eight. >> janice: good luck. quick check on the forecast, it is beautiful in new york. that is the main thing, tornado report outside of los angeles yesterday. first time tornado in l.a. county since 2021 in september. quick look at the forecast for today and tomorrow. severe storms for southern plains and mississippi valley. foxweather.com. say hi.
though, chris, that really resonated for both maureen and for allen, for maureen, it was those victim impact stories, the father whose child died of a fentanyl overdose, tyre nichols parents sitting there. and for allen, it was the moments talking about jobs, manufacturing, kitchen table issues that so many voters we talked to here in pennsylvania bring up every time we ask what their priorities are. >> exactly the message he's taking on the road. >> i have to ask you about mitt romney, he sees george santos, and says you don't belong in congress, and on the way out, here's what he said. >> look, he's a sick puppy. he shouldn't be there. given the fact that he's under ethics investigation, he should be sitting in the back row and staying quiet, instead of parading in front of the president and people coming into the room. i don't think he ought to be in congress, and certainly shouldn't be in the aisle trying to shake the hand of the
