gorsu gorsuch, the regulations. the things that he's doing. the media didn't elect him. people elected him. the people deserve to know exactly what he's doing and when it's constant barrage of everything negative, not talking about what the administration is doing, the people tune out. they don't believe the media. >> i think the challenge we face is when we're fact checking president trump, it's perceived as being an attack against him. >> he's gone straight to twitter and he can talk to the people and he comes out and has a press conference. he wants the people to know what he's working on and what he's doing. the people want to know that. the people want to know what's going on. honestly, i'm tired of hearing about all this. i'm really tired of it. i know other people are tired of it too. let's talk about what's going to get this country back on track and create jobs and the committee. that's what people have to care about. that's what people want to talk about. they're not talking about this stuff. >> great to see you in person. brett, will, thank you very much. quic

. >> senate democrats say judge gorsu gorsuch's criticism of the president may not be enough to get them to vote yes on his nomination. jan crawford looks at the context behind gorsuch's remarks. good morning. >> good morning. in an interview after the meeting, bloom enthaul said gorsuch's concerns weren't going to be enough to sway his votes and he suggested gour such should make his comments publicly and more. it is highly unusual to see a nominee criticize a president who nominated him. what makes this more unusual is it is nothing new to see a president complaining about the judiciary. conservative justices who were sitting right in front of him during the 2010 state of the union address, and president clinton suggested at one point he would ask a lower federal court judge to resign over one of his controversial decisions. in fact, one president, franklin delano roosevelt tried to change the entire composition of the supreme court because he was so unhappy with its rulings. so that's why i think you see some outside groups suggest this issing in more than a ploy for the white house t

. >> and pressed for their vote on behalf of supreme court nominee supreme court justice kneel gorsu gorsugor gorsuch. i think a lot of them aren't going to vote for him and that's a shame. i don't think they're being honest. >> president trump spoke for the first time by pho elected president with the chinese president. you might remember during the transition president trump cast some doubt on that "one china policy" by taking a congratulatory chent. >> i remember that call. thank you very much. >> president trump and prime minister abe will hold a joint news conference today at the white house. >>> the senate stayed up late again last night confirming another of the president's cabinet nominees. it was around 2:00 a.m. eastern time when senators approved tom price's nomination as secretary of health and human services. the former house budget committee chairman is a leading opponent of obamacare. democrats say price has repeatedly bought stock in medical companies creating a conflict of interest. every republican senator voted for ic support him. >>> the white house says kellyanne

comments in "the new york times. " there he argued it would be impossible for him to discern judge gorsu gorsuch's judicial independence when they met in person. why? because judge gorsuch wouldn't say how he would rule on certain issues or on certain government actions. this is an irrelevant, wasteful distraction from our consideration of judge gorsuch's sterling rorld and the merits of -- record and the merits of confirming him to the supreme court. last month i warned that the left would use these diversion tactics in an attempt to discredit the president's nominee. surely before judge gorsuch's nomination was announced, i predicted in an opinion piece in "the washington post," that advocates and interest groups would want to know how the nominee would decide particular cases before those cases ever reached the court to make sure the nominee is on the right team. i was right. our nation's founders would have been embarrassed by such questions. instead, the questions we asked should focus on whether the nominee will interpret and apply the law faithfully and neutrally no matter what th

ashcroft: i think it would be a national tragedy if a ch'son of neil gorsu capacity and character wereis impossible that he will be denied confirmation. the question is basically how do the democrats in the senate want to impose on america, and how much delay do they want? those who say that this tips the court one way or another, in some ways, that is overestimated, because in replacing, obviously, one of the most renowned jurists in american history, he is closer to being a carbon copy of his replacement, of the person he is replacing, than anyone i can remember. so this is going to pretty much restore or the court was about a year ago. david: general ashcroft, if possible, put aside partisanship. there has been, it seems like, increasing rancor surrounding these nominations for the supreme court. it is an important job, but is all of this back and forth, and it is on both sides, is it doing us any good in getting better supreme court justices? gen. ashcroft: well, i cannot imagine a person of higher capacity or talent being nominated than judge gorsuch. and not endorse the rancor, i

wade, and he has found a potential ally in judge gorsu ch. americand gives every reason to be concerned that the basic protections to keep families safe and productive will be at risk if he is appointed to our nation's highest court. now, as the trump administration wages its assaults on our core democratic values, we needed justice who will uphold a constitutional rights of all americans and not improperly expand the influence of corporate interests. on the campaign trail, donald trump told supporters that he would use an ideological litmus test to select a nominee who would advance a far right-wing agenda from the bench. president trump has delivered, and he has nominated a candidate for the supreme court who is outside the judicial mainstream. so, we must ask ourselves, who will stand up to president trump? his cabinet of big oil, big banks and billionaires. it will not be republicans in congress who are rubberstamping all of the present's cabinet nominees and policies. donald trump railed against a rigged political system but make no mist
