connell, that just can't be right. think of all the other things -- the other i'll call them content distinctions because they are the trademark law makes. section 2 prohibits the registration of any mark that's falsely suggestive of a connection with persons likely to cause confusion, misdescriptive, functional, a geographic indication for wine or spirits, government insignia, a living person's name, portrait or signature. you couldn't make any of those distinctions in a public park. and yet of course you can make them in trademark law, can't you? >> all of those other distinctions are viewpoint neutral and advance the commercial objectives of the lanham act in terms of producing -- >> well, these might be viewpoint neutral but they're certainly not content neutral, and yet we would -- i mean, i think that a challenge to many of these would fall flat. >> on what basis? >> because how is trademark law supposed to function unless it can make these kinds of distinctions? >> i'm suggesting that those sections would surviv

what connell meant to say -- >> does connell have a brother? is this his brother? >> sorry to interrupt. neil: that was very valuable insight. >> thank you for that. >> you're welcome. neil: blake bu, is he traveling with president or at the white house right now? blake, i mean, you know, it was interesting when i caught mitch mcconnell and speaker ryan talking about their shared goals here, more than a few times they pointed out, you know, there is a house and there is a senate and we're all on the same team but we all have different jobs. i'm kind of cutting to the chase here, to sort of say, did i read into that this isn't just the trump show? >> look, this is a republican house, a republican senate, a republican president. so you think they would be able to get republican ideals through but, as we have consistently seen here from mitch mcconnell, paul ryan, it appears there will be a little bit of give-and-take here with certain issues, especially potentially dealing with the budget. as you know, there are some fiscal hawks in the house and throughout the repub

connell mcshane with the latest from trump tower. connell? reporter: it is interesting, neil, stevenson come and gone from trump tower and didn't say anything to the reporters gathered in the lobby on his way out. there is a lot with the conversation between he and president-elect around the proposed merger, $85 billion acquisition of, by at&t of time warner but the white house incoming president secretary sean spicer in the conference call as you look at the stock prices involved in both, time warner and at&t both a little bit higher today, sean spicer the conference call he holds with us reporters each morning was asked about that about an hour or so ago, he repeatedly said that the focus every time mr. trump gets together with one of these ceos is on jobs. how do you create jobs? that is the general toons. that was the topic here. doesn't mean they didn't talk about the merger. that wasn't the primary discussion topic, obviously jobs and mergers and acquisitions go together. anytime there is a large acquisition of this type, off the times

remember,connell: bill clinton said last year, it is the craziest thing you've ever seen. eight out of 10 americans want it either repealed entirely or dramatically changed. if hillary clinton were president and chuck schumer were the majority leader, we would be revisiting obamacare. the status quo is unacceptable. if hillary clinton was president and chuck schumer where majority leader, we would be moving toward a single-payer system. that is not our view of how this should be handled. but status quo is completely unsustainable. >> can both of you speak ?pecifically about your agenda can you say that the republican party, in the majority now, will not take actions that add to the deficit? we're not going to have higher deficits from actions you are taking, whether on taxes, obamacare, infrastructure? whenever anybody comes in and they have all the power, it is easier to borrow and there's a lot of pressures to pass out goodies. can you make that commitment now that at the end of the year you won't have passed more deficit spending? representative ryan: we are fiscal cons

joining me, republican strategist ford connell. i get, 70 lawmakers choosing to skip what is a phenomenal tradition. a tradition that gives me goose bumps he time it happens. that's their own business and potentially they may pay the price for that. but, ford, are we as divided as they want us to think? >> no. we are not. donald trump won 31 states and 2,600 counties. i think the problem is donald trump is speaking to the american people. and those who feel forgotten by the elitist government of the last 8 years. he will come through the first 100 days like a sledgehammer. trish: toda what did you think,a democr yourself, those 0 people who basically said we don't want to be there for the tradition today. >> i personally think it is wrong. i would tell my member of congress friend whom i know that i disagree with the decision they made today. i understand people have strong feeling, that they may not share the vision for the nation with now president trump. but at the end of the day we have to rub that we are all americans. these m

connell. >> thank you, mr. chief justice, and it please the court. if our client, mr. simon tam, had sought to register the mark of his ban as the proud asians and we would not be here today. like he did not do that. instead he stopped to register the slant. >> suppose he had the hypothetical case, the facts are largely parallel to these other than the band are not asians. they use makeup to exaggerate slanted eyes and they make fun of asians. could the government under proply drawn statute declined to register that as a trademark in your view? >> they could not. >> the first amendment protects absolutely outrageous speech insofar as trademarks are concerned? >> that is correct. >> i think you have to take that position spirit we take that position because -- [laughter] >> -- because marx constitute both commercial speech and noncommercial speech and the disparagement clause specifically targets the noncommercial speech and denies registration to marks that only express negative use. >> but in your view the congress could not draw a statute, even different to this, to

liz: connell, thank you very much.isten, we need to keep gging dipping back into this hearing on capitol hill. that is rex tillerson, secretary of state candidate. donald trump want him in there. he is the former ceo of exxon news. all day long it has been absolutely fascinating. these things tend not to be fascinating, talking about climate change where he said it is real. there is a risk of climate change, whether he will be tough on russia. the former exxonmobil ceo rex tillerson now counted in its sixth hour of the senate confirmation hearing right now. he is being questioned by democratic senator from new jersey, bob menendez. senator johnson is there too asking some questions. peter barnes in washington, d.c. what are they talking about right now, peter? reporter: liz, you're right all about that. a lot of news about this tillerson hearing. he was dip low mastic and forceful about his past ties to russia while at exxonmobil. whether he will have conflicts with russia. >> i have no reservation from my clean break

connell, where did your earmuffs go?ght they were fantastic. >> well, i didn't think i looked that tough wearing but the point about jack, he's a big deal in international business, he's the head of alibaba, this giant company that has been compared to amazon, compared to ebay over the years, he says he has plans to help create a million jobs over the course of five years. basically by connecting u.s. companies to china. alibaba tweeted after the meeting between mr. trump, alibaba wants to create u.s. jobs by helping u.s. small businesses and farmers sell to china's 300 million strong middle class. he added these comments. >> you just know what happened with fiat where they're going to build a massive plant in the united states in michigan, and we're very happy and jack and i are going to do mr. trump was asked about today had to do with his son-in-law jarod kushner. now, we've confirmed at fox mr. kushner does, in fact, plan to take a job at the trump white house as a senior adviser. what trump will say, though, is that

connell, how's he going to do it? >> reporter: you know, it's interesting, trish, this was the original topic of the news conference in december whether it was scheduled. when we knew to your point that russia would dominate and it did. but the question of separation from the business interest of mr. trump was addressed. we used the word separate, isolation is what was used by mrtrumand his lawyer. nobody is using the word divest. he's not selling assets. he's not going forward with a plan to divest from all the assets he has around the world with officials saying that would not be realistic. instead he explained what he is actually doing this way -- >> what i'm going to be doing is, my two sons, who are right here, don and eric, are going to be running the company. they're going to be running it in a very professional manner. they're not going to discuss it with me. again, i don't have to do this. they're not going to discuss it with me, and with that, i'm going to bring up sherry dylan and he's going to go, these pa

more now from connell mcshane. reporter: good morning, nicole. donald trump has his first news conference in six months behind him and this one was a doozy as mr. trump for the first time said rational likely was indeed find the hacking of the democratic national committee, but he denied indolence certain terms that the russians somehow it seemed compromising information about him. then he went off to the news organizations reporting on it. >> as far as penn state, the feeling pile of garbage, i think they will suffer the consequences. they are dr. sra cnn going out of their way to build it. >> president-elect. >> no, not you. >> can you give us a chance? you are attacking a news organization. reporter: one other big issue addressed by mr. trump is the talk about putting assets in a trust rather than selling them off completely and giving control of the business to his adult son, john junior and eric. the vote. the votes associated with outcome in the business will not be involved in many foreign deals in the profit made it trump hotels and forei

thanks very much, connell mcshane.ust to let you know, we have no hard numbers to go by you're going off my memory which is always dicey, this entire joint press conference lasted a little under 20 minutes and the average of barack obama's was just a little under 60 minutes. now, i'm not saying that means anything. this is recent phenomenon where two leaders are talking and addressing the press. the closest analogy i can make timewise to that for answering reporters questions is john kennedy in terms of brevity and rat-tat-tat nature. more formal were richard nixon on down. having said that, rapid-fire questions not going on and on a and if you didn't feel like going on and on entertaining it, that is uniquely presidential choice, and likes of which we have not seen since john kennedy. blake burman at the white house with reaction on that, timing and otherwise, blake? reporter: neil i was bringing up that exact point. this thing felt like it flew by. 20 minutes. brief statements and two questions total. a whole lot of
