mischaracterizing the comments and has used his twitter accounts to criticize the both senator blumenthal and mccain. mccain has not formally responded to the tweets. >> thank you. a lot going on here. let's talk to our political panel with us now as paul who is a former president advisor of george w. bush and director of programs for the act and institute. in a fox news contributor. this senate confirmation process has been a lengthy spectacle. it has taken forever. democrats screaming loudly at every turn. what is the point? the point is that we are a democracy and a two-party system. it is right, reasonable and responsible for the opposition, and i hope it stays the loyal opposition to make their points. at that juncture juncture it's up to the

senators to vote. as we saw virtually every case the confirmations have been narrowly done. the most narrow one of secretary divorce who needed the vice president to get her through. this is the process, it's messy, i think it's important that we have it. >> you don't think this is just a lot of noise trying to fire up the base and keep them motivated and satisfied against their constituents? >> that is undeniably part of it. the larger part of it is expressing their worldview, and however many might disagree. >> paul we'll talk about the travel ban for a second. the administration claims they have plenty of options after the ninth circuit court of appeals, how do they do this, do they rip it up and start over? if they try to advance it it

gets to the supreme court and is a four, four split the white house still loses right? >> it's true. i do not claim to know what they're doing in the white house but i think the advice they're getting is very good about starting over, breaking up the order into several orders, making it ironclad annoyed that you'll probably never get through the ninth circuit. eventually you will get to the supreme court. i have no doubt the president will win. the opposition if you read the reports certainly democrats expected trump to do things. they were prepared to stop him just as we can and i'll go back to the cabinet appointment. i agree that they have a right to object. what's what's happening is the base of the democrat party is controlling this party and they are saying they want to stop every single thing trump does in any way they can. at some point that is not loyal opposition. and and you don't win a majority that way. >> and doug we can go back to you for your side this, is there any way the democrats can win this battle? >> i don't think they're gonna win. i think what paul suggested is exactly right.

they're gonna start over, they're going to do discrete initiatives that will pass constitutional muster. it's undeniable the president has a constitutional right to do this. the problem is the last order was done too quickly and wasn't sold to the american people and it was overly broad. that being said the he a real question. the opposition has to be loyal opposition just for the sake of opposition at the outset. it's not healthy and it helps our adversary. >> let's talk about michael flynn for second. national security national security advisor in for a couple weeks now. we have this alleged conversation with russia that everybody is talking about and it's getting a they into much of this thing? >> i don't think the media is making too much in the sense that they're asking these

questions. the thing is is stephen miller didn't respond any pull some weight today and defer to the vice president and other white house officials and we talked about early next week, i think were looking at a monday or tuesday that we'll do more about it. i would not know how to read more into it other than what we heard. >> i would remind to. i think it's worse. but, they have on tape a conversation with the russian ambassador where he apparently talked about sanctions and made it clear that he wouldn't and shouldn't and apparently didn't, given that, the fact that he did not tell the truth which he is now acknowledge makes a his effectiveness as national security advisor much less. i think the president would be best served and the vice president seeking his resignation and appointing someone who is less tainted and has none of the ties to the

russians that general flynn has. >> it's an interesting start. president trott meeting with israeli prime minister this week at the white house. they spoke spoke about the possibility of moving the embassy in israel to tel aviv to jerusalem. looks like president trump may want to do this, but a lot of people are worried about what kind of message it will send around the world. this is going to be stirring the pot? >> it could be. the problem is the president said he was absolutely going to do it. then he said he was going to make it a lower priority, then, then he said he was slowing down. i think there is a credibility state department is right. if you do this quickly could lead to a third and it could lead to conflict in the middle east. so the president a prime investor have some thinking to do and work to do to revise the

peace process and climb to a clear policy on settlements. once and for all they need to come to a decision about where the embassy should be. i think it should be in the city of jerusalem. >> thank thank you for joining us tonight. we appreciate it. this is a fox news. president trump arriving back in washington, d.c. after spending the weekend at the mar-a-lago club in florida playing golf with the japanese prime minister. that is marine one right there. it looks like he's still on air force one's. i guess i'll pick them up from joint base entries. the president back in d.c. tonight. working and doing a little bit of diplomacy as well. >> president trump not only sparking protest in the street, but opposition from within the federal government. how some
