we hope to be joined shortly by tom goldstein, founder of scotusblog.com. and we welcome all of you to the program. marcia, i'm going to start with you. we keep hearing it's down to two individuals. this is after 21 names that president trump gave us back during the campaign last may. what are we to make of the finalists, if that's what they are? how are they different from the% long list we originally saw? >> well, i think the original list really did contain very solid conservative judges on it, either on federal appellate courts and even on some state supreme courts. the two now that we're focused on, judge gorsuch, who is in colorado, and judge hard man, who is from pennsylvania, he sits in pittsburgh. gorsuch sits in denver, i believe. they are-- they've risen to the top, i think, especially because they seem closest to justice scalia's jurps. judy, if you recall, president trump said during the campaign that he wanted to appoint someone who was like justice scalia, the late justice scalia. i think that judge gorsuch really is closest to justice scalia

here to debate, brooke brooke goldstein.rooke, glad to have both of you with us tonight. thank you for being here. brooke, let me start with you. what is your take on this? >> you know, my take is that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the laws of cause and effect. moving an office to jerusalem is not is what is going to cost islamist violence. it is even the mom's preachingh and violence as a legitimate response to hurt feelings, preaching reestablishment of the caliphate and throwing the jews into the sea is the direct cause of arms. you know what else? cartoons of mohammed. the failure to mutilate the genitals of young females. the education of women and the western world. it also angers islamists. just like we don't appease islamist in those categories, we certainly do not appease islamists when it comes to directing the foreign policy of the united states. i think it is a wonderful move. it is totally in compliance with not one, not two, but three acts of congress, including the jerusalem embassy act of 1995 th

joining me pete williams and tom goldstein, joining us from l.a. pete, we're hearing a couple of names, top three contenders? >> top two, top three. neil gorsuch a judge in denver, 49 years old, federal appeals court in the tenth circuit. they all have the same thing in common, all white males put on the federal appeals courts by george w. bush. secondly thomas hardiman from pittsburgh, he is 51 years old. he is a strong believer in gun rights, has written several opinions and sort of expanding the definition of the second amendment and so we're told those two have the inside track and then a third person who is mentioned by the people close to the president is william pryor, who is perhaps the most conservative, 54, from alabama, as is jeff sessions, the nominee to be attorney general but he said some pretty strong things about the roe v. wade abortion decision calling it the worst supreme court decision and atrocious decision that legalized murdering young children, so he might be i think the thinking gs right now the toughest sell politically. w

talked about education and with the incredible work he's down the hampton foundation stepped up and goldstein with in their moonshot hey, we're there too i understand this is initiators we want to step up as well and then they were able to get together with nickel who him not only a good enterprise but loves the city and stepped up and said we can join this effort today of course, all there that i was talking with life on the line and mark and mark saying is it fair to say foundation, of course, we're doing in you have us involved in education that's directly because how could we succeed with our school district in ante our kids better when they can't learn in the environment when their homeless and families they stepped up big all and all this all came together as a $5 million commitment to match the cities additional $5 million effort to come and create a collaborative effort in doing so well when this effort starting revealing itself and the school district was saying yeah, we'll do a little bit of work here mark and life on the line said that still is not enough not worthwhile of what in

we also had appropriation testimony last november by general goldstein that said continuous combat operations and reduced overall budgets have driven readiness to historically low levels, and i look and i see senator cohen and senator dunn knowing i spent time with both of them and i admire them so much, but this isn't like it used to be. right now we have 1/3 of the army brigade combat teams are ready to fight in all types of warfare. the current air force is the smallest and oldest in the air force history yet only half of its fighter squadrons are ready to fight in intensive -- intensity combat and general mattis, your marines, the aircraft combat and aviators are at historic lows in terms of flight times. same thing for navy, requirement of 308 ships and we only have 274 so this is not like it used to be. i would only say this, that i really believe that we'll have to re-look at the priorities that we have in this country. and i enjoy quoting president reagan when he first came in. he said, quote, starting by considering what must be done to maintain peace and review all of the possible t

here with us to explain it is family attorney amy goldstein.ake resolutions and we're all happy about our new lives in the new year but for some people it's not a fun time of year. >> well, people don't like to file for divorce during the holidays. so from basically from thanksgiving through new year's people like to hold off on starting the divorce because they want to try to keep the holidays a happy time for their family. so a lot of times people come in and talk to the attorneys before the holiday start. but they'll wait until after the holidays are over before they really start the process going. >> and i think that's amazing that they can sort of be that mature to say we'll come in, discuss this, wait it out, enjoy the holidays i say with air quotes and then we'll come back. >> right. >> how do they do that? that's their reasoning for that pause? usually kids? >> yeah it's usually chirp that they don't want to, you know, kids will always remember when the divorce started because there's a lot of intensity and there's lot of tension when t

guest: first of all i think it's exactly right which is why i was so right on with what the fred goldstein the political scientist say your file -- grandfather's leadership with the political hand. as a bridge player the hidden hand, no one knows what cards he has until the game is over and he puts them out there. you are right the long game was a huge part of his leadership style. i think the longest lasting thing was the bipartisanship to get that infrastructure projects through set the table for the ability to realize that big things can be done with both parties. i think i was a big deal and his interaction with the soviet union and how he did it open the door to a lot of diplomacy and change in the geopolitical structure in europe. >> host: can you imagine inviting vladimir putin to the united states? >> guest: i think we should imagine it. we don't know what's going to happen and that's also relevant because obviously that comes into focus right now. think khrushchev is a lot like putin in the way that he acts in the way he is nice and not nice and everybody at the beginning of their

[ light laughter ] our next holiday teen slang term is "manger." it's the makeshift bed you have to use when your parents have guests over for the holidays.

we also heard in the 112th congress from david goldstein, a former republican house committee chief of staff, who testified that, quote, administrations under both parties have reviewed the aggregate impact of regulations and found their benefits to have exceeded their costs, and not all benefits are quantifiable, end quote. their testimony is bolstered by the office of management and budget's 2016 draft report to congress which notes that estimated annual benefits of major federal regulations reviewed by o.m.b. over the past decade, estimated annual benefits of regulatory protections are between $269 billion and $872 billion. while regulatory costs are between $74 billion and $110 billion. mr. speaker, i oppose this amendment, once again, because it focuses only on the cost of regulatory protections, while completely overlooking the monetary benefits of these critical rules. and for that reason i oppose my colleague's amendment and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time -- the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virg
