day." what grade would you give president trump? what how do you think he is doi? facebook.com/seanhannity, here is martha. >> martha: breaking tonight, just off our powerful town hall on the new trump administration immigration orders, a closer look at what actually happened now. 15,000 new agents will form the backbone of this new force. new questions tonight over how the rewrite well or perhaps won't be all that dramatic, since the obama administration oversaw deportations more than the bush and clinton years combined when he was in office. just hours after homeland security released those directives, secretary of state rex tillerson has a possibly tricky trip to leaders to talk to leaders in mexico city. how dumb i curious how some of was communicated at the

white house on day 34. >> i would argue that we have a very healthy and robust relationship with the mexican government, mexican officials. i think they would echo that same sentiment. >> many officials have said that they are not going to accept the directive that was put out by the white house yesterday. they may not take anyone that is not a mexican immigrant. what are you guys going to do? >> i think second tillerson and secretary kelly will have a great discussion down there. to walk through the implementation of the executive order. i feel very confident that any country who has a citizen that comes into this country that we send back will make sure that they comply with this. >> martha: speaking this hour in guatemala --

>> they will be affected by these new guidelines. under the broader policies, the number could be in the millions. let's begin with what is not changing. first, under president trump's plan, deferred action for childhood arrivals will stay the same, meaning illegal immigrants under the age of 31 often referred to as dreamers, who came to the u.s. as children will still be allowed to legally work and go to school. like the obama administration, this administration will not go after illegals at sensitive locations, like churches, schools, hospitals, or public demonstrations. the focus will still be on

deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes. here is what is changing. the definition of criminal aliens will expand to include things like drunk driving, shoplifting, and any violation of immigration law. experts say that is a wide knowledge that could technically apply to anyone who illegally cross the border. although, dhs and secretary john kelly emphasized there would be no mass roundups. there will be expedited removal, instead of waiting months or years for deportation cases to make their way through the legal system, the courts would largely be bypassed. border agents and immigration agents would have wider latitude to decide whether someone should be deported. the plan is to hire 15,000 more agents but that could take time, considering 2 out of 3 border and customs applicants feel the polygraph test. we are already 2,000 agents under staffed. for context, there were 869,000

deportations under president clinton and 3 million under president obama. the current administration is hoping to get that trend moving up. martha. >> martha: thank you. joining me now the reaction to all of us, governor mike huckabee, fox news contributor and two-time presidential candidate. an austan goolsbee, economics professor at the university of chicago. he served as chief economist to president obama. welcome. good have you here today. some of these details still sinking in and being sorted through. governor huckabee, let me start with you. what did they say to you? >> i think it's as donald trump is keeping a campaign promise, one that the american people elected him to do. let me ask a simple question. do you lock your doors at night when you go to bed? of course you do. you do, often does, so do i. why? because we don't know who is going to come through those doors. donald trump is locking america's doors at night and he says if you would like to commend, knock on the door, we will come to the door.

just like in every neighborhood, we don't open the door and invite everyone and who knocks on the door. we'll check these folks out and see. that is common sense. i don't know why they're such an outrage about it, except that it is manufactured outrage because nothing all that different is being done except enforcing the law, especially on those who were breaking the law by committing violent acts. >> martha: austan, going through so many of the stories and so much of what was written about it today, in most cases, a lot of news outlets don't use the word illegal immigrant. they are not describing these people as here illegally. they are calling them immigrants. that is not the case. we are talking with people that are coming to the country and state here illegally and have committed crimes. those of the first people who are on this list. i can tell you, from florida last night, most people are okay with that. >> well, i don't know what news report you are referring to. >> martha: "the new york times." front page.

>> undocumented immigrants, rather than illegal immigrants. >> martha: it is illegal to be undocumented and to be in the country. do you see that? >> i understand that. the reason those outrage is not that donald trump is fulfilling a campaign promise, i decided as he directly violating a campaig. he came up with this plan during the campaign and he said there would be a deportation force and that they would round up millions of what he called illegal immigrants. and there was massive outrage at that plan and has republican opponents in the primaries said that that would cost tens of billions of dollars that could be better spent on law enforcement at in other places. he backed away from that pledge in the campaign and now, he is back. >> martha: austan, we have all -- people who run for office in this country, we don't expect if

they will carry out exactly the language they spoke about when they were run for office. however, what he is trying to do is put the law on the books to enforce the laws that are on the books to remove people who are for example, to expand the role of the debate combined to include people like drunk drivers, due to how many people who have been by illegal immigrants? >> there is nothing wrong with finding criminals and violent criminals and deporting them. that is supported by most people in the united states. what has happened here, they have redefined it so that they will literally be coming to the interior of the united states, getting people who have been in this country for 20 and 30 years, that have kids that are citizens, and we are going to spend more than $10,000. deportation. >> martha: you are concerned about the cost. it sounds like the economic advisor to the former president it's very concerned about the cost. that is where the bottom line concerns him.

also -- it is going to be used. i want to get governor huckabee back in here. your reaction? >> first of all, austan, i have to ask you. you are talking about how much it costs if somebody gets rounded up. the president has made it very clear. they are not going to go out there with lassos and start rounding everybody up. they are going after criminals, criminals, people who have murdered americans, people who have committed crimes, beyond the crime of being here illegally. let me surprise you with something. i support the concept of daca. but i didn't supported president obama did it was that he did it with executive order rather than going to the congress and getting the law changed like he is required to do. i think donald trump is going to deal with the immigration issue but i think he is going to do it in a truly conference of way, starting with enforcing the existing law and acting that it means something in america. we have pretended that we just

didn't have borders. 80 to 20% of americans want this law enforced more than it is being currently in force. >> martha: left that, austan. >> i will say, if you have $30 billion to spend on law enforcement, you'd be better off going after violent criminals. not the grandmas. >> martha: that sounds like the plan. we will see what the action does. piece by piece. thank you very much, austan goolsbee, good to have you here. governor huckabee, great to see you, as well. stella had come after bruising electoral losses, to the democrats see a move further to the left, as their solution to their issues electorally? the party beginning to emerge. brit hume is going to react to that. plus, g.o.p. lawmakers find themselves on the receiving end of some pretty angry constituents across the country. as we learned in our town hall last night, it may not just be

democrats who are angry at these republicans. that debate with chris stirewal chris stirewalt, right after this. >> is there anyone in congress that you are disappointed and so far? would you like to give them a message? >> how much time do you have? [laughter] >> i got about 48 minutes. go ahead. ♪

♪ >> martha: is there anyone in particular in congress that you are disappointed and so far and would you like to give them a message tonight? >> how much time do you have? [laughter] >> martha: i have about 48 minutes. go ahead. [laughter] >> i would say we finally have someone in an office is doing something probably not even -- the last president i can think that it's done anything like this was abraham lincoln, who was trying to reunite the country. that is what we have voted for him to do. that is what he is doing. congress isn't getting behind us. i say, term limits. that way, you can clean house, just like he is doing, drain the swamp. there is too many in there right now that are not doing their job. >> martha: last night, just wondered if the fired up of voters in the town hall. she like many loyal republicans

are wondering why it is taking so long for congress to get behind key pieces of of the president's legislative agenda. just today, president trump admitting big moves on top issues like tax reform and obamacare repeal and replace. it may still be a month away. >> president trump: before we do the tax, which is actually very well finalized, but we can submit it until statutorily or otherwise, so, we are doing the health care, moving along very well, sometime during the month of march, may be made into early march. >> martha: all that raising the question, can g.o.p. lawmakers live up to the expectations of their voters? chris stirewalt, charlie hurt, and jessica tarlov, thank you to all of you. we heard quite a bit of that last night. we ask from so many questions about president trump and immigration. they kept bubbling up, chris and to sing, we are happy with him. we are thrilled with him. we are not thrilled with the

folks on capitol hill that promised us things like tax reform and repeal and replace. >> would you live in a culture where you wanted now, now, now, when you tell somebody, we need 100 or 200 days to do something, it sounds like an eternity. the problem that the republicans on the on the hill are facing, they want to accommodate for president. they are afraid that they might challenge them in primaries. they want to give him what he wants. if the administration is trying to figure out what it does want on things like obamacare. the president is right when he says his tax plan is ready to go. getting the other pieces in place in advance, the hill wants to accommodate him, he has to start calling the plays. to be when they are pretty impatient and they look at president obama getting the stimulus done by february 17th, 2009, which was a pretty big action. they want to see the things that they care about the most. tonight, we will talk about the transgender bathroom law. i think that for many of them, they would like to see the other

stuff first. >> it is a real thing. voters have a legitimate -- right now. how many times have republicans voted again and again to repeal obamacare, knowing full well that president obama, even if i'd gotten all the way through, he would have vetoed it. now, they have a president sitting in the white house who is willing to sign it, and suddenly, they don't pass obamacare. it is a problem with politicians making promises they can't keep. it is particularly a problem for republicans, donald trump originally, the reason his campaign was so successful is he started out running against republicans. he almost beat republicans worse than he wound up eating democrats. he has people behind him. >> jessica, you look at the record so far, i know chris is said that people need to be more patient. i think there is very little patients out there. as charlie points out, i remember interviewing lots of republicans on the hill over the

obamacare issue. i would say to them, what is your plan? we put it on the president's desk ten times over. whatever happened to that? >> i have no idea. it might be in some lockbox that is being guarded. all of those obamacare plans that were not in the end -- i agree with what has been said so far on the panel. i understand why the voters are angry. donald trump has most -- has said 100 times, i'm going to do x. that is when you have checks and balances. you have to work with other people in the government. it is not that easy to repeal something like obamacare. these voters, now that they have been told that they can keep the pre-existing condition clause, they can stay in their parents insurance until they are 26, parents can know that they are protecting their kids, they don't want to lose that as it makes it more complicated. also, donald trump wasted a good week and a half to two weeks without travel ban and the terrible rollout. that became the main conversation and there was no room to do anything else at that

time. why is he could have been pushing tax reform, when the economy, the only thing right now that americans are looking at him approvingly about. he was spending time saying he was going to ban this guy and that guy. >> it is a valid point. remember, the other point in all of this, you got to know what you want to do. you get a new president, there are plans in congress. paul ryan, i'm sure, could get a white board and write out all of the things that he wants to do. if the president doesn't baguette, if you don't have an agreement between the white house and the hill about what they want to do, it is going to blow up anyway. building that agreement is really what they are doing. >> martha: he is a great dealmaker, charlie. get both sides. bring him into the oval office. nobody is leaving until we start getting moving on this. i think there is frustration. >> i think that that is obviously his ammo, i get tired

of hearing people complain about the travel ban. he got the policy right. so there was a little problem with the rollout. i don't think -- that is the least of america's problems. >> he did to get the policy right when he started off with green card holders. >> putting a pause in immigration from countries that are hotbeds of terrorism. that is a good thing for that as of the voters want. in terms of going forward, in terms of figuring out the taxes, figuring out obamacare, he got into all that trouble a couple of weeks ago, saying we got a replacement for obamacare. then, on the hill, republicans are like, we don't have that replacement yet. that was him saying, look, you are going to have it done by this time. i think that going forward, we will see more of that. i think harping about how it gets done is a waste of time. >> martha: thanks, you guys. good to have you all here. still ahead, a new chapter in the ongoing battle between

president trump and the media. we will show you the rallying cry of one major newspaper. up next, brit hume on the battle for control of the democrat's future. just how far to the left they think they need to move. the race for the chair comes down to keith ellison and tom perez, two men equally opposed to everything donald trump. >> you don't go to a knife fight with a spoon. ♪ ♪(music plays) ♪ heigh ho ♪ heigh ho ♪ heigh ho heigh ho it's off to work we go here's to all of you early risers, what's up man? go-getters, and should-be sleepers. from all of us at delta, because the ones who truly change the world, are the ones who can't wait to get out in it.

♪ >> martha: democrats are gearing to take up a new leader of the democratic national committee after the ouster of debbie wasserman schultz. donna brazile, who also ran into some headwinds. the two frontrunners, though, may say quite a bit about where the party believes they should have next. tom perez, labor secretary under president obama, and controversial minnesota congressman keith ellison. the two men who are poised to contend for this post. here to tell us where the party may be lurching in this direction, is ed henry. >> good to see you. we have seen ultraliberal

senator elizabeth warren, thrilled to make her the face of the party ahead of the midterms of 2018. that will play a major role in deciding whether or not president trump will be able to get his agenda through congress. they may be getting a bigger gift with democrats on the verge of an even more return. voting saturday to see who will be the next leader of the dnc. the top two contenders, as you noted, hard-core liberals. former obama labor secretary tom perez and congressman keith ellison, the first muslim-american and the house, who has had to distance himself from the controversial nation of islam leader. president trump tweeted today, "one thing i will say about rep. keith ellison, in his fight to lead the dnc, is that he was the one who predicted early that i would win!" >> this man has got some momentum. he better be ready for the fact

that he might be leading the republican ticket. >> laughter, watch senator bernie sanders, designs are going around the dnc. "the wall street journal" reports that sanders allies have been quietly taking control of state democratic parties all around the country to make the more liberal and populist. former dnc chair said, is this party going to push us too far to the left? only if they start going after incumbent moderate democrats and primaries like the tea party dead. it turns out last week sanders advisors opened the super pac to yes, begin taking on democratic incumbents and primaries. that raises questions about whether they will eat their own or focus on taking on president trump. >> martha: very interesting. ed, thank you. joining us now as brit hume, fox news channel senior political analyst. it is fascinating to watch this emerging, as we look for new leadership, nobody thought they were going to have to deal with

this. >> that is right. they didn't expect he would have to do with donald trump. i don't think money expected bernie sanders would go as many dial my car as he went. he gave hillary clinton quite a race. i think the bernie sanders-elizabeth warren-keith ellison wing of the democratic party is where the party's heart is, that is where the energy is, the drive, the passion. it is possible tom perez, the obama labor secretary might he had won this chairmanship. that doesn't disguise the fact that this is a party that wants to go left. that is where it's hard to is. it may be where the party goes. it is not common for a candidate or leader who represents the outer edges of the two parties to lead them to victory. in this day in age, this era, who knows, martha. >> martha: you look at the places where they lost the

presidential election, western pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, the blue-collar rust belt areas in those counties that voted for president obama twice and then, flipped and voted for president trump now. you ask yourself, what should they do to win those voters back. you gotta scratch your head if they think that this is the path to expanding their party again. >> i think that's right, martha. the other way to look at the equation, hillary clinton failed to turn out to key cork and stick and worked constituencies of the democratic party and the way that president obama did. she couldn't fall back on the extraordinary turnout from blacks and latinos and the way that he did. the result was, she was vulnerable to an upsurge on the republican side of the votes from the key blue-collar areas that you just described. i suppose you could make an argument that if they have a candidate of the left who stirs the kind of passion that

barack obama did, they can run back in spite of the losses they suffered. i don't think it is a powerful case. i suspect that is what the thinking may be. >> martha: when you go back and dissected more, you pointed this out, the anger that was filed by bernie sanders supporters over this whole super delicate issue, hillary had locked up most superdelegates before people got a chance to vote. they thought they debbie wasserman schultz was helping her. as you point out, brit, that may be a dangerous road for them to go down here, as well. >> it is worth remembering where the superdelegates came from on the first place. back in 1972, george mcgovern, who had been the leader of a commission to reorganize the democratic party's nominating process, a process he learned of the process of designing it really come i got the nomination and got slaughtered in a landslide by richard nixon. they got jimmy carter and to power in the watergate of 1976. he was wiped out in 1980. the party leaders felt the

democratization of the process that have led the grassroots campaigns of mcgovern and carter needed to be reined in it so wouldn't put up anymore losing candidates. they gave the party leaders a bigger voice by making them superdelegates, hundreds of them. they were a bulwark for hillary clinton. their job, the whole idea, you didn't want to get some candidates on the fringes stealing the nomination and leading to a landslide defeat. they did what they were supposed to do, protected hillary clinton, but she ended up losing. the case for them is now among the rank and file democrats. they are weekend. bernie sanders complained about them all the regular primary season. they may be on the verge of scrapping that. that would open the way for candidates on the left to sweep the nominations and then, who knows what will happen. >> martha: just a few seconds left. i want you to weigh in on this issue of the inner fighting of the g.o.p. over obamacare. this is what we heard so much

out from the people in florida last night. are they ruining it for themselves, having finally achieved what they want? the white house, house, senate? >> martha, it is way, way too early to be talking about that. this congress is a month old. this presidency is a month old. this kind of legislation on taxes and obamacare repeal and replace is very intricate. it was going to take a while. people need to calm down a little bit and wait and see what happens. the republicans may fail. they may not be able to get these bills. if they do, it will be a big failure for them and the administration. it is much too early to be overreacting to what is not happened so far. >> martha: it feels like they have been spinning their wheels for eight years. >> they have plans but when you don't have the dash when you can't -- they pass a lot of obamacare were peelers.

they never had a replacement failed to pass. that was always going to be hard. that is what they are struggling with. >> martha: thank you, brit. good to see you. coming up, the new head of the rnc earned the respect of president trump when she supported him despite his public view of her town with her uncle, mitt romney knee. joins us exclusively. plus, another dustup between the press and the president, is the media going too far in describing admission in the age of president trump? we will have both sides of that debate with mollie hemingway and marie harp. >> as long as i have been i live, as long as you have been alive, and a leader of free world has publicly spoken this way about the

>> martha: and tonight's media conflict segment, the president receiving fresh ammunition for from a couple of out fleets. first, this nbc host who is

forced to clarify the comments she made this morning. watch. >> i think that the dangerous edges here is that he is trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts. it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. that is our job. >> martha: then, there's "the washington post" unveiling a new slogan under the head, "democracy dies in darkness." for more on the followed, we go to trace gallagher for what happened. hello. >> hi, martha. when the msnbc host to set it as the media's job to say exactly what the people think. the audience was and is forgetting. some tweeting, "all right, i watched you say is life on the air with my own ears, it is what you think, your show is

daily. you just finally admitted it." this, "i believe that you believe that." , others called her on it, saying the truth without. that led to her, the the daughter of jimmy -- today, i said it is the media's job to keep president trump for making up his own facts, not that it is our job to control people think. then, she added, of course, that is obvious from the transcript, but some people want to make up their own facts. dad. a sad being servant president trump's frequent twitter signoff. this is a response to president trump. the paper which is a frequent recipient of the president's wrath has said "we thought it would be good, concise value statement that conveys who we are to the many millions of readers who have come to us for the first time over the last year." others believe the model has everything to do with trump and

even mocked the ominous tone, a writer saying, "democracy dies in darkness is something i sincere goofball would say in a preston sturgis movie." the post points out that bob woodward has been using the darkness dies phrase for many years. martha. >> martha: sad! thank you, trace. joining us now, mollie hemingway, senior editor at the federalist. marie harf, former obama administration official. welcome to both of you. mollie, some perspective on what we just heard. >> michael kinsley famously said that a gaffe is when a politician accidentally tells the truth. i'm really glad that she was trying to say that the media should be holding politicians accountable. but she accidentally said was the obvious truth that we have a media complex that to push narratives with a partisan agenda, manipulating facts. that is the entire problem that we have going on here. we see the differences in how they treated the obama

presidency, versus the term presidency. the carrying of the water for the iran deal. the hostility. all of these problems that we see, that is a big reason why we have problems with media credibility. >> martha: why wasn't the motto for "the washington post," marie, during the last eight years, that democracy dies in darkness, as dire and dramatic as that is? >> i agree that the media, parts of it, can be incredibly self-important at times. seeing how they have covered this story over the past few weeks, has had some evidence for that. i don't think that we can overlook the fact that president trump, both as a candidate and president, has used language in describing the media that goes beyond what other president has used. calling them the enemy of the american people is really a pattern. when he is pushed by somebody, the judiciary, the media, congressional republicans, he blames them -- >> martha: i was looking at a

list today, the examples for how other presidents, including abraham lincoln and nixon had much more difficult relationships of the press. i think we all in some ways have to accept that the way that president trump communicates is a bond of bluster. we watched him slice and dice people throughout this campaign and a way that i don't think we have ever seen before in terms of the language that was used. maybe that has rough and tumbled up the entire dialogue a little bit on both sides. however, mollie, you watch the news conference last week, last thursday, everybody got their shots. they are bringing skype and, allowing reporters who have never been in the room before to have their moment, ask their question. that has to be taken into account here, as well, doesn't it? >> there is a real problem with media credibility. there is a new house post poll that shows only 5% of trump voters think the media are anything other than hostile to

them. we have the proof of how biased the media was throughout the 2016 campaign and what -- what "the washington post" should be doing is reforming who it hired, who would promotes, how it frames stories, how will that understands the issues of the day. instead, the slogan slogan. that is not meaningful change. the fact that they waited until the term presidency to say that they will do their jobs a journalist is precisely the problem. we needed to have them do a good job throughout the obama presidency. >> martha: final word, marie. >> they were stories in the press that i hated in the obama administration. it wasn't easy for us compared to what is going on now. but we have a president who calls the price the enemy. and that is why a lot of trump supporters don't call the press -- trust the press. the the president is telling them not to. instead of saying, free and independent, you have to look at the truth. sticks and stones and all of that. we will see. >> martha: thank you, good to

see you tonight. coming up next, our exclusive with ronna mcdaniel, the newly minted head of the rnc. the first woman in 30 years. she tells us how the g.o.p. plans to fight the perception that they are leaders aren't not acting quickly enonononono

chair of the michigan republican party. i saw the movement firsthand when he came into our state. he made michigan a battleground state because he came to the voters of our state. he said, i was talking about jobs in and the economy and trade and how you needed a champion in washington. i was there also have michigan turn red for the first time since 1988. to see president trump in the white house. >> martha: obviously, much has been made in the democrat side of the war on women. how instrumental do you think you can be as a woman running the rnc? >> first of all, i look at donald trump as somebody who is a champion of women. his daughter, ivanka, is a role model. i have a 13-year-old daughter, she is somebody that i .2 as a business woman and a mother who balances all of those things and who is fighting for women in the workplace. you have kellyanne conway who ran the first successful presidential campaign in the history of our country as a woman.

president trump coming to me and tapping me to be the rnc chair. donald trump is a champion of women. he recognizes that we add to the conversation and that certainly something that i will be reaching out to them and i all across this country. >> martha: we just got through the presidential election a few months ago. in your business, at the head of the rnc, you will be all about the next election. there is much being set about the fact that the g.o.p., a lot of the leaders on care, capitol hill are dragging their feet on some major issues. a lot of people expected faster progress on things like tax reform, they expected they would be ready with repeal and replace. how do you feel about that being out there in the next battleground for campaigning? >> the democrats are dragging their feet on capitol hill. we have seen unprecedented obstruction by democrats. he still has eight cabinet nominations that he needs to get through the senate. they are preventing our

government from functioning at the level that the american people deserve. president obama never faced thi this. to see the democrats do what they are doing is so wrong to the american people. they deserve a government and president trump deserves that. he was elected --dash go >> martha: my question was on your side of the aisle, in terms of the g.o.p. people wanting to see much faster progress. i did a town hall last night in florida. one of the things that was loud and clear is that they are less concerned about president trump and more concerned about republicans getting stuff done in congress when they have the opportunity. >> they are working as hard as they can as they deal with the obstruction of the democrats. we have seen the democratic appointees being made, the nominations going throughout two in the morning, senators are staying late so they can get it done. >> martha: that is not preventing republicans from coming up with an alternative to obamacare. >> they are. speaker ryan is focusing on that. they are focusing on deregulation. look at with a trump administration has put forward in the first 30 days.

the keystone pipeline is back on track. we have focused on deregulation of the coal industry, so, jobs can come back to that all-important industry. tpp was finding better way to do by lateral trade deals. a supreme court justice nominee in judge gorsuch. >> martha: i hear you on all of this -- >> they will be keep focusing on supporting our president. right now, we've got to get our government running, 73% of americans are saying democrats need to work with president trump to get our government running. >> martha: in order to get the government -- i am pushing to know whether or not you are concerned about that, whether that is something you have been speaking about with members of the republican national committee? there are republicans who are pushing back against the repeal of obamacare. they are hearing it in a town house the country. what would your recommendation be for those republicans? >> i think the republicans are

gathering the facts. they recognize that the democrats broke the american health care system. constituents are concerned and they are going to take the time to make sure they do it right. not rush things through, like the democrats did. which is why we are dealing with a mess right with obamacare. as a republican congressional leaders and senators are going out and talking to their constituents, they are listening to their concerns. we are all better served and we have a dialogue in a discussion, with something as important as health care. they want to come and fix with the democrats broke. >> martha: ronna, thank you for much for talking with us tonight. congratulations on your new post. >> thanks for having me. >> martha: vice president mike pence taking an even larger role in the trump administration. we will tell you why his remarks at
