but going back to this article, it says, as for barack obama, he did indeed ban immigration from iraq for much longer than trump's order bans it from the seven listed nations. and none of the people melting down today uttered a peep of protest. richard granell summed up it -- summed it up perfectly in a tweet. quote, obama took six months to review screening for one country. trump will take three months for seven countries. this article goes on, number five, trump's refugee caps are comparable to obama's pre-2016 practices. david french, who was touted as a spoiler candidate to keep donald trump out of the white house, during the presidential campaign, in other words, not a big trump fan, wrote a lengthy and clear-headed analysis of the executive order for national review. he noted that after the andtorium ends in 120 days, that's one section, it ends in 120 days, the other section is 90 days, another part says they'll have 30 days to produce a report, but it goes on to say, trump caps refugee admissions at 50,000 per year. which is roughly the same as president obama's admissions in

and so here we had barack obama stating, in no uncertain terms it's a red line and we won't accept it, but he did. now we have this refugee crisis across europe and the middle east because of his policies. all we have left is being able to claim no it's donald trump who is likely the killer of syrian refugees. and it's outrageous. liz: isis is all over that country right now. we just heard from security experts, you can't basically vet. women and children yes, of course. there is a civil war in syria has been an intractable problem. is it fair to go after donald trump with such harsh language? >> probably not. he's been on the job 11 days. but people will die in countries don't take refugees because america won't. it will be a problem. what we saw was an international agreement on chemical weapons and we took all the chemical weapons we were aware of at the time away from the syrian regime. russia is backing the assad regime. trump is talking about getting rid of those sanctions. what does that say about thousands and thousands of syrians. liz: the language and tone and rhetoric is in

democrats had a very big opportunity to reshape the court and have a 5-4 liberal majority, but barack obama, his pick, merrick garland, was blocked by senate republicans in the last year of obama's presidency and the winner ended up getting this pick in the presidential contest and donald trump won, now he's putting his pick on the 12th day of his presidency. >> what can we expect the democrats to do at this point, do you think? >> i think they're going to end up trying to block it as much as they can. of course, there is the filibuster still in the senate which would require a 60-vote threshold. but senate republicans who are in control of the senate can decide to eliminate the filibuster if they want, to go back to a simple majority. i think all indications are that donald trump's pick will get confirm unless something crazy ends up happening. that said, i do think there will be a fight. and one of the reasons that democrats will want to fight back is they feel like this supreme court pick was taken from them. >> all right, mark murray reporting for us. thank you. >> thank you. >> a

obama's executive orders on immigration. therefore they don't necessarily have the lasting impact he would like them to have. on this immigration order, news just coming in which is the first poll we have seen in which is the first poll we have seen since the order came into place last friday showing that 49% of americans agree with donald trump's immigration ban, a1% disagree so a lot of americans think this is a good idea. there aren't many moments to ta ke good idea. there aren't many moments to take a breath and consider what's going on, but let's take one of those right now. what have you been making the last ten days? unlike anything i've seen in us politics, if nothing else for the speed of which things are moving here, but there was this natty phrase that came up after the campaign which is that donald trump supporters took him seriously but not literally and journalists took him literally but not seriously. we have learned that both are relevant, take him seriously and literally because he is delivering on his campa

obama's deputies. and madam speaker, for those in the mainstream media, i think it's important to repeat that line. president trump's executive rder that didn't ban muslims but that ordered a temporary pause on people from certain countries from whom we had no information or inadequate information to vet the people that are coming in, it was based on security reviews conducted by president barack obama's deputies. white house counselor kellyanne conaway pointed out, the seven countries named in president trump's executive order are drawn from the terrorist prevention act of 2015. the 2015, quote, visa waiver program improvement and terrorist travel prevention act of 2015 named iraq, iran, sudan, syria. while its 2016 update added lib are a, somalia and -- libya, somalia and yemen. quote, these are countries that have a history of training, harboring, exporting terrorists. we can't keep pretending and looking the other way, said conway. moratorium is largely temporary. citizens of the seven countries --

and when members of barack obama's' own administration -- and i mentioned it before, cia, fbi, homeland security, they all said these people can't be vetted. so i asked over and over again why on earth are we bringing thousands of refugees from syria into this country knowing that isis wants to seed the population? to me, it seems like a common sense move, doesn't seem like it should be all that controversial, and yet you have the left at a fevered pitch of hysteria right now is that just because it's trump? all politics? >> i think that's exactly what it is. i mean, i think some of these people have simply lost their minds. i was talking to people about this last night and saying, look, are you going to argue to a machinist in michigan or a farmer in ohio that you want to have open borders with syria or with iran or with yemen? was that's, essentially, what you're saying. at the end of the day, you can protest and that's a great american way and i encourage if you want to, god bless you, go do that, but you've got to change voters' minds. i just don't think this is going to -- most of

don't they remember how they treated merrick garland, barack obama's choice for the supreme court. tit-for-tat. get over with it. deal with it. republicans saying this is very different. my point whether you're on the right or left. whether you're republican or democrat, this is not getting anything done. and this obestin nance is why why the markets are worried about anything ever getting done. a lot of that has to do with people communicating with each other, which seems to be alien concept intraand interparty. we'll get the latest from dhs secretary john kelly, many said was left out of the decision-making process on the travel ban, whatever you want to call it. he will clarify how his department will handle that. that it is not nearly as draconian as some said in the media. having said though, you would think, would think it is reemergence of the third reich how this was handled. this echoes the same security measures the prior administration took into effect and slow, not just freeze those trying to get into this country. dhs secretary john kelly, to spell it all out now. >> w

let us not forget that former president barack obama promised that he would bankrupt the coal industry. people are losing their jobs and dignity that comes with work. our communities are also suffering. fewer jobs means less economic investment and less hope. i encourage my colleagues to visit west virginia or appalachia and see firsthand what president obama's policies have done to our communities. it is heart breaking to hear the stoyrrs -- stories and see the faces of struggling families as they try to pay their bills. i stand today with those communities in rolling back the policies that have caused so much harm and pain. these new regulations would be catastrophic to the coal industry and all of the hardworking american families that depend on coal to keep heir energy costs low. and the shame of it all is that it's preventable. we must end this war on coal now. and that process begins today. i made a promise to my constituents of the second district of west virginia that i would fight for the coal industry and bring back jobs to my state. today is the first of many steps this cong
