the guest was nigel farage, and andrew neil began by asking him if he agreed with the president's decisionrian refugees indefinitely from entering the united states. you know, there are seven countries on that list. he is entitled to do this. he was voted in on this ticket. i didn't ask if he was entitled. that's not my point of contention. i asked you if you agreed with it. well, i do. because i think that if you just look at what is happening in france and germany, if you look at mrs merkel‘s policy, on this, which was to allow anybody in, virtually from anywhere, look what it has led to. the former leader of the united kingdom independence party went on to discuss his views on immigration, and on the government's process for leaving the european union. and the interview produced a strong reaction from viewers, many of whom have objected before about the frequency of his appearances on bbc news bulletins, and programmes such as question time. two viewers recorded their thoughts for us on camera. the aim is balance and this isn't balance. this is a platform. his constant appearances on tv

we're shortly going to take you to our election special programme with andrew neil, covering the resultsp of some of the day's other news.

we're shortly going to take you to our election special programme with andrew neil, covering the resultsthe by—elections in stoke and copeland. but first, a round—up of some of the day's other news. iraqi security forces have made a breakthrough in their offensive against so—called islamic state in iraq's second city, mosul. they've taken the city's airport, a key staging point in the battle to drive militants from the western half of the city. our correspondent quentin sommerville was there as iraqi government troops fought their way in. before the attack came the rockets and artillery. it's day five of the offensive to retake western mosul. slowly, the forces make their way past a suspected is car bomb, torched en route. these armoured columns are now moving forward to mosul airport. the attack for the airport is under way. all night long, we've heard coalition aircraft and iraqi artillery slam this area just to the north of us. the onslaught had cleared this village of is fighters and civilians. it's eerily quiet as the men proceed on foot. a local man tells the special forces there w

andrew mcbride. you worked with neil gorsuch. tell us about him. >> i had the accomplish of working with judge gorsuch. he's a tremendous guy. i think you heard the real neil gorsuch in his statement. he is understated. he is humble. for a resume, that's stellar. he is a very reserved individual. he was always a pleasure to work with. and as you know, in washington judy, there can be sharp elbows among lawyers who are working for the same climate. 2456s never ththat was never t . he added to the prurk. i followed him on the bench. his rulings remind me a lot of justice scalia in a number of ways. justice o'connor i got to know justice scalia a bit. i think judge gorsuch has a bit of that libertarian streak that justice scalia had in the first amendment area both freedom of religion and freedom of the press and fourth amendment area where he's made some privacy decisions that might have surprised some conservatives. >> elizabeth wydra what's your take. lilibertarian streak in part. >> i have questions on his records on reproductiv

'saved money on motorcycle insurance with geico! goin' up the country. bowl without me. frank.' i'm going to get nachos. snack bar's closed. gah! ah, ah ah. ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. why do so many businesses rely on the u.s. postal service? because when they ship with us, their business becomes our business. ♪ that's why we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. ♪ here, there, everywhere. united states postal service priority : you >> neil: all right. rand paul is concerned about who is leaking this stuff out of the white house. so is judge napolitano before any of this came to light. this is the biggest sin of all. >> i agree with what he said. think about general flynn's background. his last job in the military was as director of the defense intelligence agency. that's the military spy. the chief spy f

neil: andrew, among the first to come out even sight unseen on this nomination was senator jeff merkley of oregon, democrat was trying to mount a filibuster before even getting wind and word of psident trump's pick here. and he freely aitted it was payback for the way republicans handled barack obama's choice of merrick garland to replace scalia last year. he freely admitted that. i'm going back to that time and hearing, all right, republicans justified it at the time saying they were just imposing the "biden rule" which is in the final year of a president's administration, i think the gist of it was, you wait for the new person to come in. having said that though, the old game of tit-for-tat, someone has to stand up say this is getting old and this is getting stupid but they don't. i'm wondering if that is not only imperilling this judge's process but we see good cabinet picks, if you like, don't vote them down. don't play the games where you are not going to the committee hearing or playing parliamentary rules to avoid the inevitable. >> neil, first to good to be with you. i get the w

andrew liveris of dow chemical told neil cavuto he is for the border adjustment tax, if you make things in america they will not be taxed going out of america. we got a hint on the president's infrastructure plan, when asked, sean spicer said you will hear more about it during the president's joint address to congress next tuesday. let me bring in our political panel because there was a lot said here. ed martin, missouri gop chair. formerly, ed is not in his seat yet. let me go to christie setzer who is democratic strategist. we found this interesting from a business network standpoint. it appears to battle between retailers who are desperate not to see the border adjustment tax and manufacturers and looks like donald trump is siding with the big manufacturers with whom he met today. >> of course he is. he is always going to side with the big manufacturers whether small business or workers. i thought one the more interesting questions was asked at white house press briefing, talking about a meeting with manufacturers, he was asked, sean spicer was asked whether the afl-cio was insited t

andrew. a reminder that we will follow the confirmation process, of course. the senate hearings for judge neil gorsuch to be the next associate supreme court justice. we will have live coverage on the c-span networks when that process gets started. the nomination of judge gorsuch was the subject of this week's weekly addresses by the president and democrats. we will hear first from president trump. this week, senator edward markey representing democrats. bo

we're showing video of the president signing things and over his right shoulder is andrew liveres of dow chemical who told neil he agrees with the border tax, levied on imported goods and parts but not levied on exported parts, and yesterday during this hour, a reuters interview with donald trump broke and he specifically said this will bring factories back to the united states. is gary cohn who supposedly according to axios said to other ceos the white house does not support house gop border taxes version, is there confusion or disagreement? >> yes, and there is not -- i truly believe that the border adjustment, the border tax may be a bargaining chip. liz: hold on one second, sorry to interrupt. we have the president meeting with the president of peru, hold out, bret, one second. >> thank you very much, everybody, it's a great honor to have president chuzinski with us from peru. we have great relationships, better than before, and i have known him for quite awhile through reading about the work he's done, and i believe he's here to get an award at princeton for what, explain, please? >> being an alumnus who

. >> neil: so i'm listening to my good friend, andrew napolitano.st big picture view of where this whole thing stands on this vetting. i mean, brilliantly so. so judge, i'd like you to repeat everything you told don imus. the gist is this. you were getting a sense listening to the judges and the questioning that they might not go along with the president on this one, right? >> before the oral argument, i was convinced that they were going to dismiss the case because the state said washington and minnesota cannot show that they as states were harmed by anything donald trump did. that is a precondition for bringing a case in federal court. that the plaintiff can show harm caused by the defendant. but after hearing them yesterday, they're far more interested in the policy issues of why president trump did this, which is an inappropriate inquiry for the courts. their job is not to second guess the president. not to say if this is good policy or bad policy, if it's grounded in evidence or not. their only job is to say whether or not his behavior was cons

. >> neil: real quickly and i'll take this up with my friend, andrew napolitano. him the judge. one of the things this vetting plan has cooked up is hiring 10,000 to 15,000 ice agents to crack down on this and to make sure those illegal criminals that are here get out of here. i can imagine the mexican government still being leery to take them back as cuba was its boat people, largely criminals in the late 70s. >> mexico doesn't refuse to takes their folks back. the idea of hiring more people is basically -- this is what the new memos say -- is the immigration law is back in business. mexico will take back their own nationals. >> neil: so we might not take anyone that you just sort of force on us. >> mexico will take their own citizens back. if they're in the united states illegally, mexico will take them back. there's no evidence -- >> neil: you don't think they'll be completely uncooperative on this? >> no. they may not be as cooperative as we want. they may not man the border posts or take people back as easily as we want. they may not make it easy but they'll

andrew napolitano. this is a fascinating homage he paid to antonin scalia. i'm talking about judge neilch who is now the nominee to the supreme court. and he mentioned another jurist. >> he mentioned a jurist who occupied the same seat as justice scalia. that's justice robert jackson. the most conservative democrat ever appointed to the court. he was franklin roosevelt's attorney general when franklin roosevelt appointed him to the supreme court. he was nominated, confirmed and sworn in two weeks. leave of absence from the supreme court to become the chief american prosecutor at nuremberg and returns back to the supreme court. he went toe to toe with people who had an education like judge gorsuch and he was just as articulate and compelling and he never went to law school. lou: it says a lot about neil gorsuch that he would have such high regard for the man who had such an extraordinary career as you outlined. this is a fascinating fella, this gorsuch. and it's going to be a test for him without question. >> whatever you think of donald trump -- lou: let me clear up that mystery. i like

neil gorsuch to carry on his legacy. joining us now is fox news, sr., legal contributor, judge andrew napolitano. >> i have a static over this, tucker. he is probably the most worthy jurist in the country to fill the shoes of antonin scalia for a couple of reasons. a healthy skepticism about the ability of the government to regulate the economy and regulate our personal lives. i'm so sorry that your prior grassed really didn't know what she was talking about. she should welcome somebody like neil gorsuch because he interpreted the first amendment to mean what it says. congress shall make no law interfering with the free exercise of religion. whether it is a mom and pop operation or a corporation or a bigger corporation, you are exactly right. the government cannot force you to give a benefit to your employee when the giving of that benefit violates your religious beliefs and when the employee can get the benefit elsewhere. and the supreme court upheld that decision of judge gorsuch. that is a small picture that i am happy about. the big picture is judge gorsuch as you know embraces the idea of original is in which simpl

neil gorsuch. who is this judge, what are the objections against him and would he be a good replacement for judge antonin scalia. judge andrew napolitano joins us. i have been waiting to talk with you about this nomination. philosophic a, for people who embrace liberty and freedom, what does this judge mean? he's a worthy successor to justice scalia. he's a small government person. is he a libertarian? no. but he's refreshingly sceptical of the government. if the epa wants to regulate a mud puddle in your backyard under the present state of the law, you have to demonstrate to the court why they abused their discretion to get on your property and to regulate the mud puddle. under judge gorsuch's version of the law and justice scalia agreed with this. the epa has to justify what they are doing on your property and woo where their authority comes from to regulate the mud puddle. this is not an academic argument. because with the deference that the e.p.a. gets, they almost always win. we read about the supreme court opinions when the epa is thrown out. but it's rare. they win 98% of the time. under judge gorsuch's version, the e

neil gorsuch. among the five democrats who attended four are up for re-election in states trump won last year, the top democrat turned his attention going after labor secretary pick andrew puzder. he has an amazing goal to have campaigned the way he did and then put this man as nominee for secretary of labor is idea that you can say one thing and do another and get away with it is in the body of andrew puzder, probably the most anti-worker nominee to the department of labor ever. >> senior congressional reporter manu raju, why say no? >> they disagree on whether it's raising minimum wage, workers' rights, so this is one of the more polarizing picks, and some on capitol hill believe it could be the hardest nomination to get through, not because of how vigorously opposed democrats are to his nomination but also some damaging liabilities from puzder's past namely the fact that he revealed earlier this week that he hired an undocumented immigrant as a household employee only later to pay back taxes. republican senators who sitting the key committee who will hear his confirmation nomination next week are still with holding their support including susan collins of maine sayin

neil: mr. liveris, pleasure having you. thank you for your time. dow chemical ceo andrew liveris, very key player in the whole manufacturing turn about in this country and he is helping this president lead that effort. all right, so you heard of who's who of manufacturing corporate america. they have been on this show. they have been on my colleague and friend trish regan's show. they joins me right now. to a man or woman, trish, good to see you, whether 15%, whether 20%, a heck of a lot lower than it is now and we'll hold back on layoffs if this comes to fruition. what do you think? >> without a doubt anyone in business is not going to look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to tax cuts. whether it is 20% or 15%, sign me up. neil: yeah. >> in reality we have, when you factor in the state and local level taxes as well the largest corporate tax rate in the world, and if you want to be competitive in today's word, then you have got to recognize the fact that other countries are more competitive than us when it comes to taxes. so from their standpoint they're looking at

andrew puzder for labor, mick mulvaney for omb show that yawning gap between the president's audacious promises to working america and the practical reality of his administration. >> also today, judge neil gorsuch, supreme court nominee continues making the rounds here on capitol hill. south carolina republican senator lindsey graham on fox business today predicted gorsuch will get more than 60 votes because he is so well-qualified. today, judge gorsuch will meet with senators kennedy of louisiana, wyoming, young from indiana and iowa, all of today's expected meetings are with republicans in the senate, but he has made a lot of outreach to both republicans and democrats here on capitol hill. >> jenna: thank you. >> jon: joining us now for more on all this, chris, deputy online editor for "the weekly standard" and political reporter for "the daily beach." we are waiting for this news conference between justin trudeau, canadian prime minister, and president trump and just about an hour, betsy. these two are political opposites, but they seem to be on the same page and a lot of areas, at least for this visit. >> that united states relationship with canada is one of the consistently good pa

neil and brady. further guidance will come soon. a few personnel announcements. today the president sent the following nominations to the senate. rachel brand of iowa to be associate attorney general. steven andrew ingel of d.c. to be assistant attorney general and rod osteen to be deputy attorney general. on another note, yesterday we talked about reporting of the president's executive order protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry. i want to draw your attention to some polls that have come out on that subject. for all of the his tieysteria, as a whole have positive reaction to the action the president is taking. there is a clear majority of likely u.s. voters for a temporary ban. a reuters poll found that 66% of americans believe that united states should limit the refugees for the safety of the american people and are are the president's top priorities and most americans agree with the steps he is taking to keep our country safe. further today the united arab em rates foreign minister voiced his support for the president to tags national security so seriously.his support for the po tags national security so seriously. i know there is a question on monday regarding iran's firing of a

. ♪ ashley: president trump picks neil gorsuch to fill antonin scalia's seat on the supreme court. here is what judge andrewto say about that. roll tape. >> i would say that even though he's not as outspoken in his 49 years as justice scalia was in his 79 years, just the little that we know about him is, he is a western, leave me alone conservative, person who loves, values the land, is skeptical of government, but is so devoted to the constitution that he will produce decisions with which he disagrees for the ultimate out come as long as the process is pure. why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop tak

[inaudible conversations] neil all right, the president signing executive order. that doubles down on efforts he's made to make rules and regulations under control in waington. this one will form a tax force to evaluate all existing regulations and look at ways to get rid of the ones that have lived up their usefulness and also focuses on eliminating costly unnecessary rules, but again it's part of the commitment he made of ceo's in toe, some of the same ones that are here including to andrew, rules and regulations are choking his business and other businesses, in fact, on his very show, he was telling us that sometimes big tax cuts and a big slash in regulation, he would choose the ladder, big cuts in the regulation and it's killing a lot of colleague businesses. earlier an interview that he gave to reuters that's getting press and attention in which he sort of fine-tuned his nuclear stance that the u.s. goal is to have a nuclear arsenal at the top of the pack, what got the attention is to say that i am the first

andrew. a reminder that we will follow the confirmation process, of course. the senate hearings for judge neil gorsuch to be the next associate supreme court justice. we will have live coverage on the c-span networks when that process gets started. the nomination of judge gorsuch was the subject of this week's weekly addresses by the president and democrats. we will hear first from president trump. this week, senator edward markey representing democrats. both mentioned the nomination of neil gorsuch to the court. trump: my fellow americans, this week, i nominated neil gorsuch for the united states supreme court. he's one of the most qualified people ever to be nominated for this post. he is a graduate of columbia, harvard, and oxford. he is a man of principle. he has an impeccable resume. he is widely respected by everyone, and his proven track record upholding the constitution makes him the ideal person to fill the vacancy left by the late, great, antonin scalia, a truly fabulous justice. 10 years ago, the senate unanimously approved judge gorsuch plus nomination to serve on the 10th circuit
