developments for us. good morning. republicans are threatening to go nuclear. >> a lot happening this morning. yeah, exactly. what that means is that lawmakers want to lower the threshold and require fewer votes to get gorsuch confirmed because they don't have enough democrats onboard. that's happening while the white house focuses on foreign policy with jared kushner arriving in iraq today. a senior u.s. official tells nbc that presidential son-in-law jared kushner made an unannounced trip to iraq with the joint chiefs chair. reuters reports this morning he's not there. it comes as the white house responds overnight to kushner's vast real estate holdings. his attorney says they're, quote, unlikey to pose the kinds of conflicts that would trigger the need to divest. this as trump welcomes egypt's controversial leader today. and china's president later this week, with this message. >> they need to put pressure on north korea. the only country that can stop north korea is china. >> back home, the sfat takes a

committee vote on supreme court nominee neil gorsuch today. republicans promise confirmation by the end of the week. >> how that happens really depends on our democratic friends. >> they may lower the threshold to 51 votes, a simple majority, the so-called nuclear option, if enough democrats don't support. >> when a nominee doesn't get 60 votes, you shouldn't change the rules. you should change the nominee. >> the russia investigation continues this week. the senate's reportedly not ready to give former national security adviser mike flynn immunity. >> it's not uncommon, but i think it's premature. >> now, that's the senate's investigation. remember, the house is doing their own. it's the one embroiled in all the controversy about the classified documents and who saw them and who didn't and what's in those documents. and democrats argue it's all distract from the question they want to get to the bottom of, where there people in the trump campaign working with russia to

influence this election. that's what the investigations are focusing on. the white house says no, some on capitol hill say maybe. they want more evidence. back to you. >> tracie potts live from washington. thank you. there's a lot of economic data out this week that can actually back up president trump's claim that the economy is continuing to expand. >> scott mcgrew joins us this monday morning. >> good morning to you. a short time from now, we get the latest manufacturing data, the ism. last month's read was very strong. some of the strongest numbers we have seen in more than two years. ism measures 300 different companies for how many people they employ, how much they make. another measure, the national association of manufacturers. it looks at confidence, how factories feel about the future. that's the highest it's ever been. now, wall street will be looking at that, plus friday's jobs numbers. second jobs report in the trump presidency. dow fell again friday. nasdaq slightly lower. today is the first business day

of the second financial quarter. as for the job numbers, friday, when president was candidate trump, he often said the job numbers were fake and made up. last month, sean spicer said out loud the president no longer thinks that now that he's president and the numbers are. the exact quote was, the numbers were phony in the past, but they're real now. we haven't seen a lot of ipos, compared to years past. on friday, palo alto cloudera filed papers. it's a well thought of company. he's head of security there on an interview on press here. you know who we haven't had here, and pretty reasonable to assume we won't, that boss baby. he was number one at the box office over the weekend. although, rotten tomatoes gave it something like a 46%. i went out and saw "get out" the horror movie that everybody is talking about. well worth it.
