peter alexander is standing by. now that we may have some sense from the president himself that he may answer a few questions let's talk about what is royaling out there. although as we have seen in a break from tradition there often are peep who are called on who doesn't ask the questions that may be the vast majority of people otherwise in that room might ask. but let's talk about lineup of things that people want to get answers to. >> there are a lot of questions that folks are going to want to answer today. i'm told by officials here it's not entirely clear the president will be allowing for questions on this occasion. that's still to be decide as they indicate. their intention is to focus on the selection for the new labor secretary pick that nbc news is reporting basketball alexander acosta. some of the unique points of difference for him. he would be the first hispanic member this cabinet. the president has been criticized for a lack of diversity in his cabinet selections to this point so far. also unlike any

alexander: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: mr. president, i ask consent for five minutes. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. alexander: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i come to the floor to thank the senator from alaska and the senator from maine for this reason -- they are following a long and venerable tradition of the united states senate that too many senators do not follow. they are alarks despite their final view on the substance of an issue, the full senate to make a decision 0 on an important issue. it used to be that a motion to proceed to an issue was routine. it used to be that after a certain period of time we cut off the vote so that we could have an updarn vote -- up-or-down vote, 51, on an important issue. we've gotten away with that. but senator collins and senator murkowski have been the most consistent senators, absent circumstances, i am going to allow a vote to come to the floor so the full senate can make their decision. i thank them for that. as to ms. devos, i ask con

that is expected to be alexander acosta. after his first nominee andrew puzder withdrew yesterday. he is excited to be in the room, alexander acosta, we don't know if he's going to make any remarks. at the press is in attendance first two rows, as you can notice they are on bottom right of your screen, they have been left empty. it we don't have a whole lot of specifics on this news conference other than the president will step up to that microphone and we hear he will be taking questions. we are likely to hear a lot of different types of questions from the president. at that is expected to begin any minute now. harris, we have some news coming in as to how the g.o.p. members feel about this pick. >> harris: one of the things we're learning, the demographics as the first hispanic will join the cabinet for donald trump. the top g.o.p. sources close to the senator marco rubio, rubio and other hispanic leaders, g.o.p. and otherwise, are very enthusiastic, happy about acosta as the new labor pick. >> sandra: of course, rachel, t

chairman alexander, i have been clear. we will not go to this vote on the senators have received appropriate responses to reasonable questions and we are not there yet. so that's the first reason why i will be voting against this nominee, but there is another. and that is i have not been persuaded that betsy devos will put students first if she were to be confirmed. and i've not been persuaded she has the experience, the skills, the understanding or the vision to lead to this critical department at a time when it is more important than ever. there is so much about betsy devos's record over the years that we can look to what would make this decision from the decade she spent using her inherited fortune to influence republican candidates and push her extreme anti-student ideology to the failed education policy she fought for that siphoned money away from strengthening public schools for all students and toward taxpayer-funded private school vouchers with little accountability for just a few. to the work she did to reduce acc

general alexander: they do.reach out and give people, more than just me, people that can really read, they give them the chance to look at this and give advice. i think that was one of the great privileges and honors, to sit in there as one of the cyber listeners with the president and others and talk about it after the press left. i thought that was a great way to build on it, and you can see they are taking much of that input and others and continuing to refine that executive order in a thoughtful way. caroline: some of the other people they have looked to was the former mayor of new york, rudy giuliani, does he have the relative expertise do you think? general alexander: he has the management and leadership insights of how you bring industry and government together, and i think that is an important part of this. when you look at folks like rudy giuliani say what does he bring to the table, he can be one of the people who helps bring industry and government together, and that is as important as bringing in tec

i want to bring peter alexander in. in a moment, peter, or there was a moment in the president's news conference that has gone viral. it stems from this claim by president trump that i want to play. >> the biggest electoral college win since ronald reagan. >> now, i remember while this was going on, peter, you fact checked it live and sent us all the information. let's listen to that. >> you said today that you have the biggest electoral margin since ronald reagan with 304-306 electoral votes. president obama got 365 -- >> i'm talking republican. >> president obama 332 and george h.w. bush 426 when he won as president. why should americans trust you -- >> i was given that information. we have a very, very big margin. >> why should americans trust you when you accuse the information they receive as fake when you are providing information that is not accurate. >> i was given that information. actually, i have seen that information around. >> that wasn't the first time that president trump has made that claim. first of all

alexander's burns were treatable and he could have survived the blaze. but because corrupt hospital staff had purchased disinfectionant that had been diluted, it was ineffective. as a result, alexander couldn't fight the bacteria that took over his system. at the time, the first wave of protests in romania was under way. then prime minister victor was forced to step down and new elections were called. alexander's father founded an association for the parents who lost their children in the fire. we have to strengthen civil society to confront politicians. we have to be vigilant and hold our leaders accountable. for many in romania, that's a new concep the protestors returned with renewed vigor after the new leftest government voted in by just 40% of the electorate moved to de criminal lies some forms of corruption. the government repealed the de creek but the demonstrations continued with protestors demanding the government step down. the protestors include many young people. all i want is the money that i paid for my taxes to be used efficiently by the p

alexander hamilton and the play owes a lot to richard brookhiser. it is part of the large alexander hamilton exhibition at the new york historical society during it was 12 years ago, but it was transformative both in hamilton historiography and in the future of the new york historical society. in addition to curating that show, he wrote a 1999 book " alexander hamilton: american." as well as, " what would the founders do: our questions, their answers." he is had the dream job that everyone would like, you have one job for a long time as young as he is. he is had it for more than four decades. he is been the same place. he is now senior editor at the national review, for whom he began writing nearly half a century ago. he is a winner of the national humanities medal. i have the honor of being honored at the same ceremony eight years ago. it is a pleasure to welcome him for a reunion. he has written a wonderful book, "founders' son: a life of abraham lincoln". it is unlike any other than as been produced because it harkens back to the founding interva

he is said to be nominating alexander a cost as labor secretary. senior white house correspondent margaret is with us. two people familiar with the matter have confirmed alexander acosta will be the pick. who is he and where does he come from? is the dean. acosta of the florida international university law school down in miami. he has a really interesting background. let's go over it real quickly. any years ago he did serve on the labor relations board under george bush. brought on -- as the u.s. attorney for that southern district in florida, and as assistant attorney general, he had a lot to do with civil rights matters, among other issues, he has spoken out on the rights of muslims in the united states. this was back when he was an appellate judge. a rich history, much of which does not center around labor relations, although we believe he has many published opinions we will be taking a look at. he would be the first hispanic -- would alleviate some of the criticisms a president trump not naming enough hispanics to cabinet positions. vonnie: flo

and of course the -- alexander hamilton. he criticized thomas jefferson as a french revolutionary, radical, anarchist, atheist. hamilton selected some of the passages out of jefferson's own book, the notes on the state of virginia, and he used these passages to try to make the case against thomas jefferson. jefferson, tried to argue for religious freedom in virginia. we know jefferson and madison would be instrumental in bringing about the virginia statute for religious freedom. jefferson said, it does mean no injury whether my neighbor believes in no god or 20 gods. it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. to jefferson's supporters, this seems like an admirable statement of toleration. that people have the right to do whatever they want to do, so long as their rights don't infringe upon the rights of others. as long as you don't my pocket or break my leg. hamilton singled that out. as jefferson's disregard to the soles of his countrymen. elsewhere in the states of virginia, jefferson calculated that if you took all of

together for dinner and dealt with this difficult challenge of assuming debt and this idea that alexander hamilton had they were able to work out a solution. and if you don't know, james madison and thomas jefferson said we'll let it go forward in congress, but in exchange we want something. we want to move the capital to the shores of the potomac, the homeland of virginia. we have the capital in washington, d.c. largely because of the dinner that took place between those three gentlemen. i share that for these three reasons frars principals as we do our work and journey together. one, they led, they actually found solutions. they worked to the problem solvers. they didn't shirk their responsibility. they took that difficult challenge and said, we will do our job and find an answer to this challenge. and as we do our work here we deal with very important issues with respect to our future, environment, and national resources. we must have the same kind of attitude of finding answers, being problem solvers, and leading to make those decisions. secondly, i think this is in short supply in th

yes, in an alexander mcqueen down. cones on it, that is alexander mcqueen. for once you have done your homework. what you said in the first section is really true, you have these huge us stars who are their own planet, ego, and a minor royal walks into the shop and their knees go weak. not that they are minor royals. we understand the point exactly. that is the papers for the sour. —— that's it for the papers this hour. thank you, caroline and tony. coming up next, it is the film review.

that was nbc's peter alexander reporting. we have received two big announcement, the president will hold a news conference at noon today and the chairman of the senate judiciary committee has set march 20th as the day confirmation hearings will begin for supreme court justice nominee judge neil gorsuch. >> a story that has parents concerned about the health of their children. another d.c. elementary school is dealing with bed bugs. this time it's school. the situation is being monitored and miner will stay open. you may remember another d.c. school in southeast shut down for the very same reason. they have been going to another elementary school while their building gets a thorough cleaning for bed bugs and rodents. >> riots in the suburbs of france. this is the 12th day and today we saw rants of violence, accusations being leveled by police. >> and it could be a game changer in the treatment of autism, the new test that could give parents a head start and moreptions. o >>> protesters and police fought in paris overnight. tak

peter alexander brought it up at the news conference with the president.ed, not accurate, what the president said. back to what you said a moment ago about jobs. that's something we've heard again and again from this white house, this president, that we are losing american jobs. here is a clip of something he said at the press conference. do we have that? let me read -- do i have -- i don't have the words in front of me. he essentially talked about the need to bring back jobs to america and the fact that many companies have moved overseas. he took credit for bringing jobs back. he took credit for a lot of the auto manufacturers who in recent weeks have said they're going to bring production back here. does he deserve some credit at least for those what he calls deals? >> my view was you had an mvp quarterback in for the whole season, for seven years. in the last 30 seconds of the super bowl they wanted to give the guy off the bench the ability to tell his grandkids i played in the super bowl. he comes in in the last 30 seconds, they win the game, he says,

peter alexander at the white house. mike and susan are here. we are going to get to vaughn hilliard, covering the town halls in a moment. susan, donald trump was clear, he supports lgbt rights. why the turn around? >> first of all, like peter alexander was saying, this is a directive. no rights are being stripped away from anybody at this point in time because they weren't being implemented. several states, three or four states are suing over this directive. now, i think what we saw in donald trump's administration was betsy devos having a back and forth with the president on this issue. he was listening to different voices. but, at the end of the day, he's got, in light of going to c-pac this week, we wants to give back to the conservative movement. this is making it a state's right issue. he doesn't have to do much legislatively or through executive action. >> susan just talking about betsy devos. "the new york times" had an article about education secretary resisted signing off and told mr. trump she was uncomfortable because of the potentia

sergeant alexander blackman was convicted in 2013, and sentenced to life.sh whether he'd been suffering from combat stress at the time of the incident. let's speak to our correspondent, daniel boettcher, who's at the royal courts ofjustice. this is what his lawyers are arguing — that he was mentally ill at the time? yes, the barrister acting for alexander blackman said it was the impact of fresh psychiatric evidence that was at the heart of the appeal. this is the second appeal. the case was referred back to the courts by the criminal cases review commission, the body that looks into possible miscarriages ofjustice and during today's hearing the court was shown a graphic footage from a helmet camera showing a wounded insurgent on the ground. he is moved and shot in the chest and this is the video that led to the initial trial. now mr goldberg told the court that three experts agreed at the time he was suffering from a mental illness called adjustment disorder that impaired his ability to exercise self—control. alexander blackman has not been in court and ap

we expect the alexander acosta nomination to be made formally there, and wait and see if reporters get a chance to ask questions on a whole host of other subjects that have been swirling around this white house in recent days, scott. >> eamon, thanks. we'll be back to you then. >>> in the meantime, we mentioned the mainly averages range-bound today but going for these new records, at least out of the gates. >> yeah. and i think there is an important dynamic. david faber put a report out earlier today, talking about a big trader out there who put on this short gumballs, whatever the option strategy was. basically, getting very short the market on an institutional side, and we have seen the s&p rally significantly from 2300 to 2340. the question becomes, how many others out there, this rally is built on skepticism. how many big institutional players out there have put on these type of larger wagers, okay, that have to be as you go through strikes unwound and you see a short squeeze in the market. and i really believe yesterday that was a significant short squeeze. are there others that w
