>> whether it's about regaining power or exerting it, political movers and shakers are out in force this weekend at the conservative action political conference just outside washington. we are waiting to hear from scott pruitt, the new leader at the environmental protection agency. >> and in atlanta, georgia the cross roads of the south, the democrats, are they cross roads themselves. this is the dnc winter meeting where they are now trying to pick their new chairman. they have just finished voting for the first ballot on deciding who will lead them into battle

against trump, the white house and the republican majority in congress. certainly they try and regain some seats in congress come 2018. we have heard a lot of fiery speeches for more than a half dozen folks hoping to become the next democratic national committee chair. jonathan who wrote things down so well at the beginning of the show, there we bring back in professor to explain what's going on inside the dnc meeting, how are you doing, sir? >> hey, there, this is round wasn't of the voting as we speak they are counting the ballots, paper ballots, i will have a little more on that later and also breaking news, indiana mayor announced during campaign speech that he's actually withdrawing his name of names, the field of candidates is down to six in the first round of balloting that's being counted right now. let's talk about the two lead

candidates, as for the apparent front runners, the first candidate to speak during campaign speeches was tom pérez who served as labor secretary under president obama and enjoying strong support from the democratic party establishment. listen. >> a united democratic party is not only our best hope, it is donald trump's worst nightmare. >> the other front runner minnesota congressman keith allyson is -- ellison with the young base. skewing too much to the left may hurt winning back the support of the working class that. >> they have to regain the status as the party of the people, the working people, the right to everyday people, but to do that they can't do so far left on some of the social

issues that they're alienating a group that tends to be more religious. they are counting paper ballots, the process taking longer than expected. originally they were handing out wireless devices but moments ago interim chair donna brazile announced that she wanted to go with the traditional paper ballots presumably out of an abundance of caution because for one thing she didn't want to have to rely on wi-fi connection and also a more importantly she she wanted to have a paper trial so that each name and signature of the voters could be verified. back to you, leland. >> wow, lots of news coming out from there inside the convention hall with jonathan, jonathan, as you so appearly explained, if

nobody gets to 50%, they go to ballot number two, we will go back and check with you as the results come out. thank you, sir. now to elizabeth who is perhaps a slightly more united group than the democrats are here in atlanta. >> slightly more united but we still are getting a ton of energy, cpac is wrapping here today. the speaker is new epa chief scott pruitt and those attending the conference getting a chance to weigh in on the top conservative issues. fox news correspondent is live with more, hi, lori. >> it's always a hot topic and although it's not a presidential year, it is giving us a glimpse of the ideas and priorities in some of the involved conservatives in the country. >> this year there's more issues, instead where you get a ballot and how the folks feel about that, that was the big news and nothing else came out of it.

>> poll members 1500 participants and if the country is on the right or wrong track and if they approved of the president's use of twitter and if they approve the job that president trump is doing. >> i somewhat approve. getting used to the office of president. >> there was a question towards the end on what type of conservative you are, i hope that everybody will say traditional reagan conservative. >> i think it's going to show what the future of the conservative movement has in store. as the results pour in, we are sort of looking at the future of not just our party but conservativeses in general so looking forward to see what they look like and i will be there to see it happen. >> liz, just behind me the new epa administrator scott pruitt is expected in about 30 minutes, he's one of the final speakers

before the poll results are announced and, of course, cpac. >> thank you so much, leland. >> back here in georgia, you have two things really, not only the battle for dnc chairperson but also the battle to fill the seat of now hhs secretary tom price, 17 candidates in that race and the guy who covers them is greg with the atlanta journal, constitution a story newspaper not only renowned here in atlanta, but we will get the story that john theab brought us, you had the idea covering the dnc and there's a guy name pete which last name nobody can

pronounce who is the mayor of south indiana. he withdraws during his nomination speech, if you will. the establishment tom pérez endorsed by the obama establishment and then keith ellison, first muslim in congress, darling of the bernie sanders as the other option. >> i'm going to try to pronounce the mayor's name. he dropped out just now in the middle of nomination speech and didn't endorse any of the other candidates. >> you have to almost thing that fictions in or something. >> he was going to be the consensus, the third wave candidate, nobody can backed up ellison or pérez, he was going to be the guy. now, you have exactly that. a mainstream candidate in pérez versus a progressive candidate in ellison and they are all trying to say it's not a e replay of 2016 inside the building line it seems like a replay of 2016.

>> elizabeth brought up a great point, inside that building just before the voting they played a long video from hillary clinton talking about sort of her thoughts of the direction of the party and what she thought that was important. how did that play n some ways you think that going back to 2016 is not where the democrats wanting to. >> no, there's a lot of rumbling specially among the bernie sanders, the green ellison supporters and every time bernie sanders' name is mentioned, there's applaud. the party can't move beyond 2016. >> how worried are, if you will, the establishment democrats that if they keep ellison, a big part of the democratic wing and the democratic base namely the jewish money that's such a strong supporter of the democratic is going to lose, leave, we heard from alan who wrote a fiery op-ed, antisemite, he was a supporter of lewis and

i'm going to leave the democratic party and i'm going to encourage to if they elect keith ellison. >> having the progressive is saying they are going to leave if pérez gets elected. they are dealing with on going turmoil and i don't think this is going to settle it. inside that building as well you are seeing from a lot of grassroots groups who are trying to mount challengers to quote, unquote, candidates. >> you could have democrats in congress come 2018, fascinating, history doesn't repeat itself it rimes is what mark twain said. >> exactly. >> one of the first look at how the elect reat is responding to the election of donald trump is going to be right here. in your own home congressional district, tom price is now headed to washington to run hhs and and you have a special run-off election, 17 possible candidates. give us a sense of how the people are positioning

themselves, are they the antitrump candidates or are people saying i'm going to take trump on and who is lining up behind trump? >> people who barely mention trump's name who are much more establishment minded candidates. >> this is a swing district. >> this is a swing district, 62% for tom price so a pretty establishment republican district but at the same time trump only won the district by 1 point. so this is why it's seen a dry run for what 2018 could look like and you have five democrats won this former congressional, john assa, the car lick of democratic fundraising circles, he's raised close to $20 million in campaign in two months. says how much democratic energy is out there. he faces a very long shot. i mean, this is a republican district that republicans should -- should win. >> if there's anything republicans learned in 2010 and in 2016 is who knows what happens specially 2014 as well.

greg, we really appreciate you being here. we should get results in a while. >> any minute. >> people threatening to leave and we will see who marchs out. >> all right. >> great having you. president donald trump speaking of him, is going to return to familiar territory, prime time television with a joint address to congress on tuesday, we saw a speech at cpac, we are told the speech to congress maybe a little bit different. the president is spending the weekend at the white house, not at mar-a-lago preparing for his week ahead and this big speech, kristin fisher live back in washington with what we can expect from the president, we keep hearing this idea that it's going to be a unifying speech but we heard the very same thing about inaugural address and some would argue that perhaps didn't live up to his promises, kristin. >> that's true, leland, right now one of the big things the white house is talking right now is a report that we just put in and out the washington post and

the white house is calling it falls and ib accurate and what this report claims is that the trump administration has reached out to members of the intelligence community and members of congress to include them to reach out to the press and counter all of the stories about allegations of members of the trump campaign having constant contact with russian officials, but a senior administration official says that actually it was the other way around. members of congress first reached out to the white house to say, hey, we are already speaking to members of the press to set the record straight, so the white house pointed them in the direction of other reporters who are asking similar questions. all of this is happening one day after members of several news organizations were excluded from an off-camera briefing and at the briefing white house confirm that had the white house did ask the fbi to clarify their assessment about the trump campaign and russia to the prez. spicer said, that quote, the fbi

is saying we are in the intelligence business, we didn't think that the story was accurate and we want you the white house to know, so our answer the great, reporters are calling us, could you let them know. again, the white house said they never inciggated asking members of congress to do the same. the other big thing president trump preparing for speech in congress. white house said that they think it's going to be optimistic speech from the president and we heard in inaugural address and expect him to highlight some of the accomplishments that he believes since taking office in late february and talk about the same things that he did at the cpac yesterday and talk about the nomination of judge gorsuch, executive orders on regulatory reform and ongoing attempt to secure our border.

>> let me say this as clear as i can, we are going to keep radical islamic terrorists the hell out of the country. we will not be deterred from this course. and in a matter of days we will be taking brand-new action to protect our people and keep america safe. you will see the action. >> looking ahead version 2.0, if that's what you want to call it, version 2.0 of immigration order is expected to be signed sometime next week. we are told that will likely happen on wednesday which leland, of course, one day after his big speech to congress. kristin fisher, thank you, elizabeth has more on this from cpac.

>> that's right. joining me to talk more about what we can expect from donald trump's speech on tuesday night and what cpac means, usa today says washington bureau chief. thank you so much for joining us. >> great to be with you. >> you know, i want to preview what you foresee on tuesday but before i do, i want to talk to you a little bit about cpac's past and what is your take away from cpac last year. >> ronald reagan was the last president to go to cpac in his first year as president, that was 1981. the first cpaci covered and the difference in cpac is pretty remarkable. it was seen as a wing of the republican party and republicans at that time were a wacky wing. one of the interesting things that, i think, we saw president trump's speech here the degree to which he is putting his own stamp on the conservative

movement n. some ways on trade and some other issues, donald trump does not have the traditional conservative position on the issues and yet no protests with him. he got an extremely enthusiastic reception. >> he spent a few minutes talking about the fake media and i thought he wasn't going to necessarily follow anything scripted and a couple of minutes in he went to scripted speech and he talked about immigration and regulation and he talked about health care and he did receive, i would say, innovation for every point that he brought up. it was an enthusiastic crowd and like you mentioned, it wasn't just necessarily a group of conservatives, it was different people from all across the right, if you will. >> the republican party at this moment is pretty united behind president trump and that's remarkable because he did not have the support of the party establishment when he ran as president.

at the moment, the democrats are being pretty divided and the republicans being pretty united. >> i think it was in your one of your pieces where you said he does have the support of republicans right now but he's not gaining the support of democrats right now and looking ahead, tuesday, he needs to address them whether or not they support him. how does he do that? >> traditional we expect them to be the time where new presidents try to expand their reach, appeal to voters. he's not really followed that script. he has very little support among democrats and reasonably support among independent, his support among republicans is as strong as reagan was at this time. it's as strong barack obama in a month of presidency. the question is can he get legislation through congress and big things done. if he doesn't do better among some of the people who didn't vote for him in november. >> how does he do and and also when he talks to congress typically he paints sort of a wide picture. he can be a little vague in some of his issues and i think some

of those lawmakers want to hear descriptive and very tangible details going forward, how does he do that? >> you're exactly right. it's gone beyond to specifics about what you want to repeal and replace the affordable care act, what exactly should we do. you want a big tax reform bill, we know that's one of the administration's top priorities, what exactly is going to be included in that. what do you do about the border tax which is a proposal that divides some republicans, one thing that both sides are going to want to hear in speech to congress on tuesday is more specifics about exactly their take on some of the issues that he talked in broad terms. >> that could mean in increase in price on consumer on array of goods. >> he could and, yet, we know from the new treasury secretary that after the affordable care

act debate they want to move directly into tax reform in the summer and fall and that is a really aggressive timetable for a new administration. >> aggressive timetable for anybody, but we will be watching and then we hope to have you back, we appreciate appreciate it. >> glad to be here. >> we have been waiting for scott pruitt to take the stage here at cpac, there's still a crowd here, we joust heard them hearing it's the last day. the straw pull will take place in about an hour. a little bit of a delay here at cpac but people are sitting around to hear him speak. once he takes the stage we will bring it to you live. >> things behind here as well in atlanta as the vote counting is underway at the dnc winter

meeting for them to chose a new party chair. they are actually counting paper ballots, they have to count them twice and see if they get it right. you see, they're talking about their future. we will get reaction as the votes come in has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®.

it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death,

even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®.

>> all right, this is the fox news alert, we have been anxiously awaiting the epa administrator scott pruitt to take the stage here at cpac, he's addressing a very enthusiastic crowd. he's the key ♪ ♪ and the last one before the straw pull. >> and so leading the epa, sending that message across our agency, i've emphasized three very important thicks as i started leading the epa, number one we are going to pay attention to process, rule-making matters, we are not going to have sue and settle, we are not going to lead that agency in a way that regulations through regulation, we are not going to bypass rule-making. we are going to advance issues. so process matters. [cheers and applause] >> but as we engage in real rule making, we make sure we dent use to courts to regulate, we will do so with a keen attention.

rule of law matters. sometimes we think it's a academic or legal content. it's not. there's a phrase that i love to use, let's rest. it provides certainty to those regulated. those in the industry should know what's expected of them. those in the industry should know how to allocate the resource that is comply with the resources, we are going to conduct and beat -- pay attention to the rule of law because we what to do what, operate in the right frame of work in the law and not outside of the law as it has happened. [cheers and applause] >> so process matters, rule of law matters but let me tell you this, what really matters a lot is federalism.

we are going to once again pay attention to the states across the country. i believe the people in oklahoma, in texas, in indiana, and ohio and new york and california and all the states across the country, they care about the air they breath. so pros ceses, rule of law and cooperative federalism, that's going to be the heart of how we do business. as we look for the next four years, i think what we should do is recognize that we should have hope and optimism, that -- that we are going to go out and see a trajectory, a new day of freedom, you know there are

certain times in history where you're living them, you know that the time that you're leaving is not going to impact many generations but generations in the future. we can look in the past and the world war ii was a very important time that impacted generations and decades, 1980 was one of those, we know the regan revolution brought substantial change to this country and sent us on the course towards freedom. i will tell you, 2017 is a time that is going to set the trajectory of his into the future. we are going to restore power back to the people, we are going to recognize the regulatory uncertainty and the regulatory state needs to be reigned in, we need to make sure they are recognized and we are going to do the work that's important to advance freedom and liberty to the future. it's an exciting time. [cheers and applause] >> so i hope as we close this time at cpac, that as we leave

here we have much more to do. we have already begun, as we go out into the rest of the country, know this, the folks in washington, d.c. have a new attitude. an attitude that no longer is we are going to dictate to those across the country and tell them how to live each and every day, it's an attitude that says we are going to empower citizens in the state. it's an idea, federalism and believing in liberty. [cheers and applause] >> we are not going to have managed liberty anymore, we are going to believe in the constitution and do the work that's provided here in washington, d.c. i look forward -- [cheers and applause] >> i look forward to coming to see you in the in the state as we make changes and deal clean power plan, as we roll back the regulatory state, we are not going to just do that for washington, d.c., we are going to come to ohio, and

pennsylvania, and all across the country and celebrate with you as we make those changes. i look forward to seeing you, i look forward to partnering you and i look forward to a prosperous and exciting next four years, god bless you. >> we heard him say that he wants to restore power back to the people, his biggest role was to roll back regulation. he says it's going to take some time and a lot of changes that will take place at the epa. he said he wants to be a good listener but he does obviously want to make regulation so that they are regular.

there's a lot of work to be done but we heard scott pruitt speak to the crowd, or very enthusiastic crowd. we are obviously here live. we will be back with much more after the break

. . .

>> welcome back to atlanta where the democratic national committee is meeting here to try and pick a new chairperson. a lot of folks will tell you that it's really a proxy war for the future of the democratic party. if you want proof that the democrats are divided, well, check this out, on the first ballot they couldn't figure out who was going to be their chairperson for a little perspective on this let's bring back in robert patillo. cbs radio 1380 on your a.m. dial.

mano a mano. >> yes. >> ellison was behind pérez and now it's essentially the establishment, the obama folks behind tom pérez versus keith ellison and the bernie sanders folks. what's interesting to me is that ellison is the progressive part of the democratic party and represents a progressive part yet you who identify as conservative democrat says who it's who you want. >> ellison represents a heard that hasn't been heard in the last eight years in the democratic party. when you hear issues for the african americans, we will get to you and we just ran out of time. >> even president obama? >> the democratic stopped putting money in county organizers. >> do you feel like the democratic party has taken the black vote for granted at some level? >> you get 90% of the vote every

election cycle no natter what you do you start taking them for granted and what you're saying now is the ellison effect that the group of voters say we are going to lose, let's lose being at the front of the line and if we put progressive issues we can win for the future. >> the main political reporter down here noted something that's unusual, we haven't seen in in a long time in politics, first of all, the democratic chairperson election is an election, it's not a coronation, if you will, and on top of that, you've got the factions, hey, if my guy doesn't win, i'm walking, what does that say about how divided the democrats are right now? >> the same thing that the the democrats went through 2010. they eventually four people like eric canter, forced people like john boehner out of office because the more conservatives won. >> you're not necessarily

looking for a more liberal part of the democratic party, you're simply looking for a what, more accessible part? >> a part of the party that's that spends more time talking to donors -- >> that's what you would say tom pérez really represents. we have a live shot from inside the convention center. we weren't allowed to do the show inside. we do have a camera there. you can see tom pérez there working the front area of this room and that's where we think the balloting is going on. it appears as though they are now on the second balloting and then you're going to have the counting of the votes, the paper ballots and took about 20 or 30 minutes last time for when they collected all the ballots to them counting it twice, checked it and then finally came out with these vote totals, i'm interested, robert, from this

perspective as you're watching this go on, do you feel your voice, the voice of conservative democrats is being heard inside that room? >> well, it's a small faction in point in time. people who are baptist, pro-life democrats, prounion democrats, their voice has been put to the fringe because the money in the party are coming from think tanks. >> folks who are interested in climate change and gender rights and these kinds of issues that may not represent the bulk of the party. robert, we appreciate you being with us and staying with us. stick around, we are going to see it's your faction that decides to walk out or whether it's the establishment folks, if mr. ellison wins, he's leaving, he's leaving as well. we are going to go back inside this room. i understand -- i had trouble hearing in terms of what we are getting sort of a game of telephone as it comes outside from inside the convention center.

they are now starting to count the votes, there's donna brazile, the interim chair who took over when debbie wasserman schultz was forced out over the wikileaks controversy, is she announcing the votes? let's listen in for a second. she's announcing that they are starting to count the votes. you made an interesting point when it came to this, we are now back to paper ballots, they decided not to use any kind of electronic devices and in so many ways this does feel like smoke-filled bathroom politics with the same names coming back over again. >> well, after debbie wasserman schultz ran the party into the ground, the dnc convention, donna brazile, marshal, mayor franklin so on and so forth came in and saved the party, saved the convex, but when it's time to run for party chairperson,

you don't see the same voices reflected. you see the establishment voices reflected. when you have people that after run state party not having opportunity to have voice and you see the splintering that takes place. >> a lot of the folks who are running the party, state chairs, congressmen, the senior part of the leadership are the folks that were around when you were in high school. >> i was in high school, i went to visit congress and i went and hung out with tim waters and now i'm in my mid-30's and those still people are still in congress. we are not getting the new voices, new blood in and there's effort to tamp down those individuals. >> we have to run, robert. anybody who knows what a hard break is you and radio. >> yup. >> stick around, we will see what happens as we get the results of the second balloting here from a very divided house among the democrats, certainly not what you're seeing there at cpac. >> yeah, absolutely, we are

starting to wrap up here at cpac, epa administrator scott pruitt just got off the stage, we heard him speak for about ten minutes, a lot about rolling back regulations and he's an open door and wants to make epa efficient. he's now speaking with the crowd. he has a q&a and half an hour away from the straw poll, of course, we will make time to listen to sheriff clark before it's all over. we will give you the straw poll results as soon as we get them. and when we come back, it's almost time to roll out the red carpet and we will talk to our in-house expert on what to expect on one of the most anticipated award shows. you have probably seen this video across the country. members of country face crowds of constituents.

picking up for kyle. here you go.

you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong? so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? you want the whole thing? yes, yes! live whole. not part. aleve.

>> well, congressional recess maybe behinding down but tensions may be running high with constituents in town halls, hot topics include the fate of obamacare as well as russian experience in the 2016 election, joins us live from new york with the very latest, hi, bryan. >> some lawmakers are avoiding the confrontational town halls altogether which have been going on for weeks, republican texas citing public safety concerns, others like new jersey have choosing to have telephone town halls instead. now, really saturday morning, this morning, alabama representative hosted a town hall at city hall in hoover, alabama. mr. palmer spoke to the crowd overflowing to the outside, popular topics at all of the town halls are obamacare,

immigration and climate change just yesterday a couple hundred protested outside of a hotel where senate majority leader mitch mcconnell was meeting with republicans in his home state of kentucky. now, some constituents are hosting town hall meetings themselves and inviting lawmakers to attend like in las vegas where an empty suit stood in as re -- replacement. he says he doesn't believe they are paid protestors. >> not to my knowledge and this is the 41st in-person town hall meeting i've held and i never experienced paid protestors and i don't think that was true the other night. >> a left-leaning group called indivisible is organizing activists to go town halls an publishing a handbook on the way

and giving step by step on resisting president's trump agenda advising folks to be polite but persistent. pittsburgh area congressman murphy did not host a town hall citing the guide. >> it's orchestrated where they will sit and boo when the congressman talks. they are told not to give up the microphone. it's in the just republicans, the nation's most vulnerable democrats up for reelection in 2018 are avoiding town hall meetings as well. leland. >> bryan in new york, as they elect their new chairperson, ballot number two underway right now results as we have them. and now onto a little bit, shall we say, lighter news. on the eve of hollywood's biggest night, celebrities are

going to step into the political spotlight for sure. we are going to preview might happen at the oscars coming up >> it is a very different year and it is time to show up. [cheers and applause] >> it's a singular time in history, it's time to engage. what'd you earn double miles on, please? ugh. that's unfortunate. there's a better option. the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, everywhere, every day. not just airline purchases. seems like a no-brainer. what's in your wallet?

i did... n't. hat? hey, come look what lisa made. wow. you grilled that chicken? yup! i did... n't. smartmade frozen meals. real ingredients, grilled and roasted. it's like you made it. and you did... n't.

>> politics aren't far from anybody's mind, hollywood celebrities are opting for political speeches over acceptance speeches, instead of a traditional oscar's party the united talent agency in los angeles held a rally for immigrant rights featuring michael fox and jody foster and now we wait for the acceptance speeches at the oscars, for a preview we go to liz. >> that's right, politics in the oscars are not exactly a bran new phenomena. they use platform for as long as we can remember. but we have a senior assignment

editor who is not only a huge attribute here at fox but also an oscars expert and he joins us now. thank you so much for joining us. i want to start all the way -- i want to get some predictions, if i can out of you. >> absolutely. >> i want to start with best picture, if i could. >> great to see you, let's start with oscar history lesson. back in mid-20 century classical musical, gg, west side story and my fair lady and, of course, the sound of music, one more film is going that join that list and that is la la land starring ryan gosselin and emma stone. most academy voters seem enchabted as well. record tieing 14 nominations and most of the major precursor

prizes. >> i love it. best pick on best actor and actress. >> ben's babely brother versus denzel washington as we might say on election night. the race is too close to call but the edge has to go to denzel washington. he won the tony award seven years ago and he's a hollywood favorite. denzel already has two oscars for glory and if he wins, fourth to win. >> i want to ask you supporting actor and actress, if i could. >> probably emma stone.

tough competition. supporting actress ali in moonlight takes supporting actor. supporting actress, viola davis in fences. she's terrific. she has the oscar in the bag. >> all right, we love having you on every year we love hearing predictions and, of course, we can't wait for the show. >> great, elizabeth, thank you so much. >> all right, leland, i want to bring you in with a confession, i have not seen any of those movies. >> well, if only we have about five seconds, i haven't watched any of the best picture nominees

kelly: we are awaiting results from the cpac straw poll as the annual conference comes to a close. the poll going in a different direction this year since there is a republican president in office, the focus shifting to president trump's job performance and policy questions instead. hello, everyone, welcome to a brand new hour inside "america's news headquarters," i'm kelly wright. julie: and i'm julie banderas, one day after president trump received a rousing reception at the conference, president trump's team also helping to push his agenda at cpac, his epa administrator, scott pruitt,
