i would like to recognize the ranking member, senator cardin. sen. cardin: as i said before and i repeat again, i want to thank the committee for the fairness in which you have allowed these confirmation hearings to go forward and the ability of our members to be able to question mr. tillerson and to ask additional questions. i thank you for your fairness, including the ability to schedule today's business session. a couple preliminaries, if i might. first, i want to note there are severe weather conditions throughout the country preventing some of our members from being here. for example, senator murphy had planned to be here. his flight was canceled. he is on a train heading toward washington as we speak and he will not get her for a couple more hours. i wanted to point that out. because of the weather conditions, some are not able to be here. we're trying to work out plans. so that some can change their proxy vote to their vote in person later on as long as they get here by this evening. a couple points i want to bring out. one is that there was a

schumer: senator ben cardin. mr.din: we are here tonight to make sure that this executive order is repealed and never becomes effective here in the united states of america. this executive order on immigration and refugees is reckless, it's dangerous, and i am ashamed about that executive order. it's against the principles of our nation. it makes us less safe. when we rely upon our allies to help us, we are isolating america with this executive order. we will not allow this nation to impose a religious test as to who can come to america. that is not the united states that we love. we are going to speak out and do everything we need to make sure this does not happen here under our watch. we are united to say no to this type of action. we're going to be here tonight, we're going to be on the floor of the senate, we're going to be on the floor of the house, we're going to take this debate to the american people. what you see here tonight is happening all over this country and people are standing up around the world. the

cardinal dolan. [cheers] [applause] cardinal dolan: let us pray.praise you god and father of us all, sovereign of all life, for assembling us to proclaim the dignity that each human person and the sacredness of all human life, thank you heavenly father for the gift of a nation where life itself is considered an inalienable right and where the dignity of each human person is a self-evident truth. our prayers are the more fervent as they rise from christians, catholics, orthodox, people of all faiths in this one nation under god. our supplication this afternoon is the more hopeful as we rejoice in the solidarity of hundreds of thousands who believe so ardently in the civil right of the innocent baby in the womb deserving full protection of the law and the right to life. our praise and intercession is powerful as we make it in the most holy name of jesus, the son of god incarnate in the womb of his blessed mother, our savior who reveals himself as the way, the truth, and the light. who lives and reigns forever and ever. amen. [cheers] [applause] [laug

cassidy: thank you, senator cardin. mr. cardin: my pleasure. turning away those at the border will do nothing to make america safer. such cruel action will inevitably bring harm and potential death to survivors of violence and torture, including many women and children, while undermining america's values and damaging our relationship with our allies. and why the president would deliberately pick a fight with the president of mexico is truly puzzling. not to be outdone after embarrassed by the president of mexico's cancellation of his visit to washington, the president doubled down and had the audacity to suggest that the cost of constructing a border wall should be passed on to the hardworking american families, not once but twice. first by inserting it in the budget. that's taxpayer dollars. pay to build a wall that won't work. and second, through a tax on mexican imports which will be paid for by american consumers. all the while he continues to build smoke and say we will still find a way to have mexico ultimately pay for this dream wall. it

and the cardinal said, well, holy father, it was written by john boehner. he is the speaker of the house. he is really involved in helping kids in d.c. get an education. i have a number of programs i'm involved with in washington, d.c., helping kids of all stripes get an education. and the pope says, all right. i will come. so the cardinal runs out of the room, calls me, and says, boehner, you cannot tell anyone, but he is coming, he is coming. so he comes, and it turns out, at the same time this meeting happens, my daughter tells me she is pregnant with my first grandchild. so, the cardinal and others began to work the vatican over to try to get the pope to baptize my grandson while he is here. and so, you might guess -- you might not know this or think about this, but the vatican has this 200 year head start on bureaucracy over the united states. they are really good at this. so after months of conversation, they finally came to me and said, listen. the pope will be happy to bless your grandson, but we really don't want to do a baptism. all right, fine. s

[chatter] it up for us given the cardinal.cheers] isn't that amazing that the vice president of the united states addressed the march for life? [cheers] know, it is the first time in the history of the march for life that we had a vice president address us. what an amazing gift. >>. is good -- god is good! >> god is good! >> backstage, we are frozen right now, pending the departure of the vice president, but very, very soon, in i would say 30 seconds, we will have cardinal dolan here.

cardin. sen. cardin: you pointed out that you would treat an american company dealing with foreign markets equally, even if it is a trump enterprise entity. you are taking an oath to defend the constitution of the united states. there is the all moments clause -- you have to make sure if you are dealing with a trump entity that it is not getting a favor in exchange for trying to influence the president of the united states or the trump administration. so, how do you go about knowing there is no special breaks being given to a trump enterprise if you don't have full access to that type of information? steven mnuchin: i think we all acknowledge this -- we are in a unique situation, we have a president who has a vast amount of money best -- sen. cardin: but he is not doing what every other president has done. setting up a blind trust. that is what is required. he is not doing that. how do you come if confirmed, to theth compliance constitution to make sure a trump enterprise is not getting special tr

another good primary source is a book ofook -- secrets called the matter -- vatican cardinal.clear that the vatican was ambivalent about mussolini primarily because he was a popular. but what they dislike about was because -- what they dislike about was lenny started for two reasons. the italians had no interest in persecuting the jews on the whole. they had a long tradition of tolerance before the jews. the jews. the vatican. the whole thing was completely at odds with the italian society , should build itself. the other reason they tried to get was a lenny was because he brought italy into the war. most times you want to be involved in it. so the idea was that italians were losing their dignity. one of the interesting things i spiesd in the church of whether documents from roosevelt's on board. ongoing -- envoy. there is mention of a secret radiolink between roosevelt and the pope. when i talked about how this would go down. there is a chapter of my book the attitudebout toward mussolini and i would refer you to that if you're interested. >> i know i saw a question over here

she lead the cardinals with 17 points. stanford won the free throw battle after that, but cardinals win 72-68. a brilliant 19-3 overall. 9-1 in the pac-12. vandemeer enjoyed pat summit with their only win on friday. >>> another historic match up in the men's final at the australian open. roger federer against rafael nadal going for his 14th. he is 1-3 and nadal in the far court somehow gets the ball, they return a winner. nadal wins at 6-3 to even the match at two each. this is the marathon point in the deciding fact with federer to take 26 shots to decide the point. finally with an incredible effort by federer. >> match point now, federer is serving, his shot will catch a piece of the baseline. nadal asked for a review and the call was upheld at 35 federer wins his record 18th grand slam title. his fifth australian and first major since wimbledon in 2012. he is also the oldest man to win a major since ken won the australian at the age of 37 in 1972. so it has been an australian open for both the men ice and women's -- men

another primary source, though, is a book called " secrets of a vatican cardinal."it's very clear that the vatican is ambivalent about loosely -- mussolini primarily because he was so popular, but they really disliked about mussolini the problems they had with mussolini developed for two reasons. first when mussolini started pursuing racial laws. the italians had no interest in pursuing the jews at all. italian catholicism had a long tradition of tolerance for the jews. so, the vatican just thought the whole thing was completely at odds with the italian society, which i felt itself really an exempla. the thother was when he brought italy into the war. so, the idea was italians are losing their dignity by being in bed with the germans. one of the interesting things i found in the roosevelt library is i found documents from e holy seeconvoy to th talking about the role pius the 12th had played in the coup which top of mussolini in july 1943, and there is mention of a secret radio link between roosevelt and the pope, which they talked about how regime change was going

with that i would like to recognize a distinguished ranking member for his comments, senator cardin. >> well, mr. chairman, as i have said during the hearings and i repeat again, i want to thank you for the fairness in which you have allowed these confirmation hearings to go forward, and the building of our members to be able to question mr. tillerson and to ask additional questions. and i thank you for your fairness, including the ability we had to schedule today's business session. a couple of preliminaries if i might. first, i want just the record to note that there are severe weather conditions throughout the country, which are preventing some of our members from personally being here. for example, senator murphy had planned to be here by now. his flight was canceled. he is on a train heading towards washington as we speak and will not be able to cater for a couple more hours. so i just really points out that we've had members who wanted to be physically present, but because of the weather conditions they're not going to be able to. we are trying to work out accommodations in our
