president trump citing they can provide a lot of jobs for americans. keystone and dakota pipeline projects advance for government approval. day two, right? >> it is only tuesday. [laughter] >> we have a bunch of initiatives. the keystone thing was a big republican versus democrat issue. >> we have been on air for almost six years. we've been talking about that pipeline for about that long. democrat strong people along saying they had all these permits to review and they needed more time. epa don't do reviews concurrently. they were sequentially. the epa said it they needed more and then the state department. hillary clinton was using it as a way to hold off the unions from being mad at her and she had to make a decision. side with the climate wing of the party or go with the workers? ultimately the climate change

folks -- there was not good logical reason for them to deny the keystone pipeline permit. today you saw keystone pipeline, the company, saying they will reapply. one of the questions i had is do they have to start over in the permit process? looks like they were able to pick up where they left off. >> trump administration so they were going to expedite the approval process. trans canada, may be about an hour ago, they were thinking president trump in saying that pipeline would create thousands of well-paying jobs and add $3 billion to u.s. gdp. democrats have to like that, right? >> i think environmentalists have a complaint but i would argue this, you know what? go right ahead. let's see what happens. to my mind, you know, digging up these oilsands which are very difficult and expensive and potentially damaging to the

environment, especially drinking water, and a republican governor, by the way, objected to this initially prayed we will see what happens. my key complaint. >> canada. >> no big jobs going to come from this. >> trump cited 28,000 jobs. trans canada, the owner of the pipeline, said thousands of well-paying jobs. the oilsands are in canada. >> that's what they were doing in canada. you have to transport it. considered such environmental threats. >> in two days, he's accomplished possibly more than former president obama accomplished in many, many years. >> that's what happens when you don't play golf. i want to address what i call the pipe lie. before the left freaked out about keystone, there were 2.4 million miles of pipe in the united states. at 72,000 crude oil lines.

they exist in america already, and remember how much safer it is to transport oil by pipeline rather than railcar. and if you hate pipelines for oil, why aren't you protesting against indoor plumbing. maybe you should start transporting your indoor sewage by trains from your bathroom to go right across your living room out the door, carrying your poo-poo. that's more dangerous. the pipeline is entirely underground, doesn't cross any land owned by the standing rock tribe three doesn't endanger water. you are moving the water inlet from the pipeline. trains are transporting oil owned by the tribe, the standing rock reservation, they don't mind. there are already eight pipelines underneath the lake. the u.s. army corps of engineers met with these 55 tribes about 600 times.

or 400 times. it's not about the tribes. it's not about the oil. it's about activists using this as a way to go after fossil fuel fuel. >> if the u.s. is paying for the pipeline, you've got to use u.s. steel. >> i like it. consistent with things donald trump said during the general election. hillary clinton's own state department, the keystone pipeline was heavily reviewed. hillary clinton's own state department said they would be minimal impact on the environment. what i think more broadly this is is the fact that president obama's days of hamstringing the economy in the name of environmentalists is over. numerous ways president obama with these roadblocks in the way of energy expiration and job creation using the clean power plan to try to shut down the coal industry. roping of federal lands to energy development, shutting down the pipelines, we know that would create jobs and create energy in the country.

those days are over. president trump alluded to when he was running for president. >> also today the president met with ceos of the auto industry. he said he would curtail environmental regulations and make it easier for them to build plants in the u.s. >> we are bringing manufacturing back to the united states. we are reducing taxes substantially. we want regulations but we want real regulations that mean something. we're going to make the process much more simple for the auto companies and everybody else who wants to do business in the united states. i think you're going to find this to be from very inhospitable to extremely hospitable. i think we will go down as one of the most friendly countries. >> the automakers expressed optimism after the meeting. >> we are excited about working together with the president and

his administration on tax policies, regulation and trade to create a renaissance in american manufacturing. >> huge opportunity working together as an industry with government that we can improve the environment, improve safety, and improve the job creation and the competitiveness of manufacturing. >> greg, i think you and i both agree. i think the idea of an important fee, border tax, don't like it. part of the trump plan to keep jobs here. here's a different way of going about it. reduce regulations, make it cheaper for them to produce here. >> there's positives and negatives. tax relief, regulation, hooray. tariffs, who. protectionism is not capitalism. does nothing about automation. he's moving quickly. i -- i hate to say it. he could save humanity because in the future, automation is

going to turn this country into a crazy world of joblessness. they've got to figure it out. you're going to have a vast population of starving, unemployed millions. talk about dystopia. that's something you've got to think about for the next 10, 20, 30 years. >> do you really believe those executives, just like the union guys yesterday, come out and say these nice things about trump. that this is going to transform the american economy or are you witnessing stockholm syndrome. these people come out having been held hostage by the giant new president and his twitter tr feed. >> he is promising to reduce costly regulations and let these companies have more of their own money. that is not stockholm. that is christmas. >> i wonder who saved the american auto industry. thanks, obama. oh, my goodness. you mean the american auto industry was not doing well? the american auto industry right now is doing very well. what they are fearing is that they are going to be --

>> the american taxpayer saved the american auto industry. only to put them out of business. i'm sorry. we had record auto sales. >> let me talk about one of the regulations that i think those executives are counting on to be changed and that's the cafe standards for this is the fuel mileage per gallon. i haven't driven and seven years. can you tell? those are regulations that because of the way technology is an physics, in order to meet that quota, you actually have to make cars lighter. when the ceo of gm was talking there about safety, talking about the importance of making sure our cars are going to be safe enough. do your point on automation, every single one of those ceos has a driverless car technology plan. that kind of innovation is not going to be stopped. i don't know how he's going to save innovation. >> i will contend the only way to save the u.s. auto industry is by reducing their burdens from regulations and costs to

produce and cars here in america. >> reduce their burdens of producing cars in detroit. >> it is not just the auto industry. moving some of these regulations is going to help businesses. in for the first time in our nations history we have more small businesses going under. regulation after regulation, hamstringing businesses, making it difficult for them to survive and thrive. i think it's going to benefit everyone across the board by removing these burdens. i think this is what donald trump talked about the entire election with helping the working class families, helping working-class americans and getting the economy moving agai again. so far, he's delivering. >> isn't helping the working class or the titans of industry and helping the big boys on wall street at the expense of the working class who have two --

>> do the unions represent the working class? yes or no? they went out of their way to say it's fantastic. i can't remember the aftershave they used. they went out of their way to make it seem like it was magnificent. >> how does that help working-class americans to shut down businesses across the country? there are no jobs. >> i don't think we are short on jobs with 4% unemployment. >> shutting down businesses, shutting down opportunity in this country. >> i have no objection to more jobs even on top of the fact that we are almost at a full employment economy. you've got to breathe the air. you want some regulation. you want to make sure you do away with unnecessary regulation. >> we've got a go. sean hannity will sit down with president trump at the white house on thursday. mr. trump for the hour at 10:00 p.m. eastern. coming up, the president is set to make of big government announcement very soon, his pick

republicans. you look at somebody like gorsuch, you could make the same argument. >> my money is on ted nugent. this is an important issue for voters. 21% said the supreme court was the number one issue. they decisively broke for donald trump in the election. tactically it's marked for donald trump to put the supreme court nominee next week. he is trying to move through his cabinet choices as well. it's going to be difficult for democrats to fight these battles simultaneously. there are ten democrats and states that donald trump won. five of those states he won by double digits. if these guys -- what fights do they want to use their political capital on? introducing the nominee next week muddies the water to make it difficult for them to narrow in on these different votes. >> i think the democrats have made a tactical, strategic error to try to block all of the cabinet nominees are slow them down. rather than picking two or three they could've had. instead they are fighting on all

impossible task because no matter what decision he made, there was going to be massive criticism. imagine, first of all, doj loretta lynch set comey up. she hamstrung him. sitting on the tarmac with bill clinton. >> wasn't that after comey's announcement that he was not going to go ahead? >> she put the decision-making at the feet of comey. he was facing an impossible task. imagine if he had recommended an indictment for hillary clinton. how would that play out? he would be derailing the election. >> well, now comey has, i think until 2023. he's going to be there for an extended period. he is going to be in charge of the ongoing investigation to trump's ties to russia. paul manafort was under

investigation by comey's fbi. >> we found out, "the new york post" reported that the fbi investigation into general flynn was being dropped. fox confirmed that as well. however there are others involved the investigation come as you pointed out. i think it's great that comey can stand because i'm guessing they are knee-deep in investigations of the clinton foundation, not the emails anymore but the foundation. i think they are going to find a lot more. if comey, and dana would know this, if comey has the support of the agents, the fbi agents who worked so hard to put these investigations to together. >> apparently so. you don't really hear otherwise. i think a 10-year term for an fbi director makes a lot of sense. if donald trump had chosen to replace him, it would be a seismic event. not a headache the white house needs to worry about. obamacare, taxes, supreme court nomination and other things they

need to get done. if i were james comey, now that he knows that he has the support of president trump, i would seek an audience with the president and ask for more resources, not to talk about the clintons or the ties to russia but remember jim comey a year and a half ago said on "60 minutes" that the fbi has opened investigations in all 50 states with concerns about isis. the fbi has -- they are spread too thin and they need more support, and i would ask for it now. >> with regard to the agents you are asking about, especially special agents in charge brit hume made the announcement that he was saying to his most senior fbi agents what strikes me about this is you go back to the campaign and rudy giuliana, -- rudy giuliani. they were putting pressure on comey and even trump said he thought comey made a mistake in the investigation of hillary clinton. seems like now trump is a comey
