of those, 56% voted for mr. trump and 41% for mrs. clinton. across the board, conservatives generally say they are thrilled with these potential picks although there some caution on the issue of abortion. neither of them has a long paper trail on that issue and that worries some. democrats have said they plan to oppose whoever the nominee is. these two judges sailed through the senate without opposition in 2006 and 2007. a lot of those top democrats who were okay with them back then are still on the hill and would be part of the vote this time. >> bret: thank you. who is your choice to be on the supreme court? let me know at @bretbaier. or on facebook at facebook.com/bretbaiersr. president trump says he wants to lower drug prices, make medicare and medicaid cheaper, and bring drug companies back to the u.s. the president met with pharmaceutical executives today at the white house. he says he's going to change a lot of rules and promises to and what he calls global freeloading. consumer confidence has taken a dip after a 15 year high right afte

mr. trump, isn't iraq our ally in fighting isis? i think so. it's their troops plus 6,000 of our troops that are now engaged in a bitter fight to reclaim mosul to get isis out of mosul. and so you are going to put a limitation on iraqi citizens and refugees coming to the united states? i'm sorry. i don't understand what sense that makes, mr. president. do you? do you understand what just did? here's a four-star general in iraq who is responsible for their special forces that are leading the fight in mosul right now. this man's family came to the united states for safety because of the problems that existed there in iraq. he cannot visit his family. and unless there is some sort of a waiver that has suddenly been developed for four-star iraqi generals, he can't go to the central command in tampa, florida, to work on a strategy for the rest of the fight. oh my god. what's going on here? what is happening? what sense does any of this make? foreign policy experts, national security experts, experts on isis, on radical islam all say the same thing.

what mr tusk highlighted was worrying declarations and what he seems to mean in that is donald trump's port for brexit, his admiration for mr putin, his doubts about nato. what mr tusk is seeking to do with his letter to eu leaders is to galvanise them to say they have to confront this changing world, they have to rally around to defend european unity, and he also says to try and defend that transatlantic alliance guide to convince the americans it is working. and tojon sopel at the white house. the remarks of donald truck —— task, but they have any influence at the white house? i'm not sure anyone in the white house would disagree with the white house would disagree with the sentiments expressed by donald tusk. i do not think they have any great love of the european union. when i accompanied donald trump on his trip to scotland the day after the brexit vote and he was saying what great news it was that britain was leaving the eu, i asked him, would you support the break—up of the european union? he said, it looks like it would happen anyway. i did not express any view one way or

she's widely considered the least contentious of all of mr. trump's cabinet nominees. president trump staying busy holding a couple of high profile meetings. first with ceos of several major drug companies where he suggested increase in production of drugs and a decrease in the cost to consumers. he also sat down with cyber security leaders making his case he is sticking to campaign promises on finding ways to defend against cyber hacking. >>> a fifty six attack caught on camera. now, this happened in south philadelphia. you see a group of men right there. they beat a man to the ground. once he was down they just kept on at him. police are now after these attackers. our dawn timmeney live along south broad street where it all went down. dawn. >> reporter: lucy it happened about half a block down from where i'm standing and police say if these four men would do something so despicable there's no telling what else they would do and that's why they want these guys off the street before they hurt someone else. the video is alarming. a 25-year-old man is knocked to the grou

is mr trump holding the support of people he would expect to? i think so, a recent poll came out saying 49% of the american public approved of these immigration actions and 42% disapproved so there is public support for this and this is something donald trump campaigned on throughout the campaign, this is actually a watered—down version of what he pledged to do in december 2015 which was an outright ban on all muslim entry, and he won and i'll write nomination with support from a majority of republicans on this issue, and he won the presidency with people knowing this is what he would do. if you talk to his supporters, they generally find that they are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. they look at the president and say he is trying to do something, maybe even the criticism he's getting now from protesters on the left and democratic politicians in congress, maybe that's a sign he's doing something to shake up the system. let me ask you, what is the chronology of the week coming forward 7 chronology of the week coming forward? what

before president trump nominated him to be secretary of state, mr. tillerson worked for one company, exxonmobil for virtually his entire adult life. and as he rose to become a senior manager and then c.e.o., mr. tillerson was personally involved in getting lucrative oil deals in a number of countries, including russia. in fact, during mr. tillerson's time as c.e.o. of exxonmobil, the company expanded its drilling rights in russia to 63 million acres. now, that is an area the size of wyoming and nearly five times the size of exxon's holdings in the united states. but mr. tillerson didn't just deepen the relationship between his company and russia. he also tried to protect that relationship by speaking out against sanctions on russia. as a reward for personally cementing exxon's relationship with russia, president vladimir putin awarded mr. tillerson the russian order of friendship. the stakes with u.s.-russia relations could not be higher. russia has invaded the ukraine, annexed crimea, bombed innocent civilians in aleppo and attacked our elections wi

mr trump won the support of millions of people in pennsylvania. here are three of them on how their man is doing. 0k... he is not your conventional president and he is not a politician. he is attacking it more like a businessman ordered —— would attack it. it is all happening, and i really admire that about him. he works very fast. it was an outstanding win. so many voters supported him. he really is coming through on his promises. he is checking one after the other.|j never checking one after the other.” never expected mexico to give us a cheque. i think the mainstream never expected mexico to give us a cheque. ithink the mainstream media framed it that way for people. that is not howl framed it that way for people. that is not how i took two main leg mean. the most important thing is to make out the most important thing is to make our country, our communities, our cities, safe. i know that mr trump does not have an exact plan to put on the table. he has repealed it and 110w on the table. he has repealed it and now they need to work on putt

. >> we knew it was coming from like two years ago when mr. trump first started to run for president. certainly didn't learn about it on an airplane. i mean, again, knew it was coming, knew it was signed friday morning. from day one in terms of the inauguration finishing touches, i have ho put it that way were being put on the executive order. as you can imagine, copy goes back and forth in their tweaked right up to the last minute or are adjusted right up to the last minute. i think probably thursday we found out it was going to be signed the next day. >> so here is what i am being told, jacob, about this from a senior administration official here at the white house. and that is that secretary kelly after his confirmation hearing was briefed about this executive order and again before the inauguration was also briefed. received copies as he mentioned of this draft, eo, the draft action, that we are told more than 90% similar essentially to what was ultimately in the final draft. 99% to be very specific. again, the administration pushing back

of those, whopping majority, 56% voted for mr. trump, 41% for mrs. clinton. conservatives are happy about both potential picks although they feel the record is little light on issue of abortion. some would like to see a paper trail. consistently the president said throughout the campaign and continued to say it in recent days he will pick someone who is pro-life. people who, that is their number one concern they will be watching closely for the pick tonight. melissa. melissa: although, how tough is the confirmation process going to be no matter who gets the nomination, shannon? reporter: democrats already signaled they're not waiting for the name. they don't care who the nominee is. this will be a tough bruising battle. we heard that from senate minority leader, we'll try to keep the seat open. we heard from oregon senator jeff merkley, democrat saying basically this. this seat is stolen seat. first time a senate majority stolen a seat. we'll use every lever to stop this. he will push to go 60 vote threshold. republicans win over a handful of democrats or con

we know mr. trump has failed to divest from his company as ethics experts have duly noted. every morne -- american should wonder if he designed this executive order with his own business interests at least partly in mind. this is the purpose of divestiture, to eliminate any possible question of doubt or possible mal intent. without divethsing from management and ownership, president trump's circumstances threatens the basic tenet of the rule of law that the government and all its actors will discharge duties in the best interest of the american people, not their self-interest or their interests of their cronies or the interest of their brand. i yield back my remaining time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. are there any further one-minutes? under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2017, the gentleman from texas, mr. gohmert is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. gohmert: thank you, madam speaker. might say, it is great seeing you in the chair, madam speaker. you're a natural fit. maybe we can do something abou

trump he's wrong on certain issues just as sally yates did last night. republicans on the other hand say sessions is a man of character, will follow the law and have no problem being the peoples attorney vs. the president's attorney. >> we need an independent attorney general. one who is committed to standing up for the constitutional and statutory rights of the disenfranchised and stand up for a president who in these short days has already violated his rights. i don't think senator sessions. for these reasons, i'll speak longer on the floor, i'm not confident. >> i voted for almost everybody that president obama appointed disagreeing with them on almost anything. i never doubted any of these people were bad people because they disagreed with me. the one thing i can tell the united states of america, in my view, that jeff sessions is a republican conservative who is a good, decent man who will follow the law as he sees it or try to take the country down a different road than president obama and his attorney general and that's what the whole election was
