he nominates gorsuch. gorsuch gets confirmed, and this case gets moved to the supreme court a week later. it jumps all other cases to get heard a year later. we know that this is the koch brothers and all of those folks who do not want unions to have a voice representing people, because they know, historically and even now, if a person is actually represented by a union, they have better wages than if a person is not. they also do not want us to do the kind of political work that we do. to answer your question directly, what we know is that if there was no pr campaign for -- or anything else, probably what would happen is that over the course of a year or so, the people who are fee -- they would get those choices fair directly, and about half of them would say we do not want it. union, of the our 1.7 million members in our union, there are about 87,000. very few in the small district, k-12 sphere. probably half of them. this is what we know will happen because we have already seen it. the koch brothers and

and this going to overturn essentially a -- if gorsuch rules in favor of it, unless neil gorsuch a closetember or a member of the afl-cio, i think this goes in the conservative favor. union membership is in decline. charles: could it be a wake-up call to unions? >> they had a big signal since freedic's case that smooth like this was coming. -- that something like this was coming. >> dan il, i remember we used to look for the union label, all right. thank you appreciate it. charles: coming up, federal reserve, warren buffett help to kick-start the market rally, i'll tell you what it's all well next.od -- all about next. berty did wha? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. big thinking in the finger lakes is pushing the new new york forward. we're the number one dairy and apple producers in the ea

now the dissent by justices thomas, alito and gorsuch, partial dissent from the granting of a stay on travel ban 2.0 said of course the granting of the state totally means the applicants have a likely success on the merits but there's nothing saying that in the opinion from the supreme court so we will get a look at whether the votes on the stay -- stays -- have something to tell us about what the justices think about the merits and the merits, remember, include can these cases be litigated at all, does the statute bar a form of national origin, discrimination something that would be significant in future cases involving future presidents and future classes of immigrants from other countries not involved in these travel ban cases at all. then also the establishment clause question. so it mabel some of the justices that have voted for stays thought the balance of the equities lodge with the government but the government may wind up losing on the merits. so this is queued up for the end of the term, i would expect it to be argued in the april setting and it should be very interesting to

gorsuch gets confirmed and this case most of the supreme court in week later. we know that this is the koch brothers and all of those folks who do not want unions to have a voice representing people, because they know, historically and even now, if a person is represented by a union they have better wages that if a person is not. they also do not want us to do the kind of political work that we do. to answer your question directly, what we know is that if there was no pr campaign for anything else, probably what would happen is that over the course of a year or so, the people who pay a fair share would get their choice very directly. probably about half of them would say we do not want it. of the 1.7 million members in our union, there are about 87,000. this is what we know will happen because we have already seen it. the koch brothers and others have announced their going to spend $400 million to break us, to break teachers unions, and try to undermine and destabilize public schools. their words. they are going to do a bit public campaign that says you want a

now, the dissent by justices thomas, alito and gorsuch, sort of a partial dissent from the granting of a stay on travel ban 2.0 says, of course, the granting of the stay totally means the applicants have a likelihood of successful demerits, but nothing saying that in the opinion from the supreme court. so, we will actually get a look at whether the votes on the stay stays, has something to tell us about the justice's merits. and the merits include can these cases be litigated at all. does the statute bar a form of national origin, something significant in future cases involving future presidents and future classes of immigrants from other countries not involved in these travel ban cases at all. and then, of course, also, the clause question. so it may well be some justices that voted for stays, thought the balance of the equity is lodged with the government, but that the government may wind up losing on the merits, or maybe not. this is cued-- queueked up and interesting to see not just the arguments, but from the justices. >> could you elaborate on what the argument is that the establ

the dissent by justices thomas, alito and gorsuch, from the granting of a stay on travel ban 2.0, said, of course, the granting of the state means the applicants have likelihood of success in the merits. we will get a look on whether the votes on the stays has something to tell us about what the justices think about the merits. the merits include can these cases be litigated at all? does the statute bar a form of national origin a form of discrimination something that would be significant in future cases involving future presidents and future classes of immigrants not involved in these travel bans at all? the government may end up losing a lot of merits. or maybe not. this is queued up for the end of the term. i expected to be argued in april. it should be very juicy to see, not just the arguments made, but the questions made by the justices. >> can you elaborate how the establishment clause does not apply to the government in these kind of cases? william: i'm not sure that i can capture it.

we think mitch mcconnell and cornyn and those guys deserve a lot of credit for the gorsuch confirmation. they moved quickly and got it through in the face of very nasty opposition from the left. that is something we really respect and will remember. steve: you don't control the president's schedule, but barack obama -- mr. phillips: we tried to. steve: they did not put him out there a lot in 2010. is it helpful or hurtful to have donald trump on the campaign trail in october and november? mr. phillips: he was an effective advocate in the state of the union. i watched that speech. it was effective. that is the message americans need to hear. i think the president made an effective case, also vice president pence in west virginia. bill, you mentioned west virginia? he was an effective advocate there. i think he is in pittsburgh friday night. i do think on this issue they have shown they are effective spokespersons. steve: but he did not campaign in virginia for the governor's race or in alabama? mr. phillips i think it is most : effective when an administration campaigns on the policy, be

moved to the supreme court, and although his time on the bench was short, just 452 days, only neil gorsuch and thomas johnson have served less time. there will be a test later about who thomas johnson was. even though he served such a short time, his opinions helped to codify the new deal order. his most important duties occurred with america's entry into the second world war just three months into his first and only term on the court. in fact, most of his supreme court tenure was spent working for the president, designing procedures and agencies that the justice would soon oversee when he left the court in the fall of 1942. his two wartime positions, first director of economic stabilization and then as director of mobilization were designed to take advantage of byrnes' rare combination of a savvy political mind. with the threat of totalitarianism abroad, fdr always demanded a place by his side for jimmy byrnes. only byrnes worked so diligently, persevered and remained so committed to the success of roosevelt's revolution as byrnes routinely describe the new deal. only on byrnes did roosev

even gorsuch wasn't the smartest guy, he wasn't a rhodes scholar.his background was a real problem, he had some difficulty acting upon it. i think it's important to note that the fact rob porter was working on an interim security clearance was a real problem for john kelly, and he had told confidantes in recent days that he wanted to work on not only porter but everyone else in the white house continuing to work on security. >> we'll continue to talk about that in the days ahead, because rob porter deserves a top of the list in the spotlight, but there are a number of other aides who still don't have security clearance a year and a month in, and if they can't get one, the chief is right to think they can't get one. >>> next, omarosa turning on the president. >> should we be rude? >> don't say that. >> because we are worried, but i need you to say no, it's going to be okay. >> no, it's not going to be okay. it's not. try polident. the four in one cleaning system kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria, cleans where brushing may miss. helps remove stain

if you are reading the tea leaves it is reasonable to consume on desk include justice gorsuch is in the driver seat. but with this particular issue looking at his voting record he may side with the conservative wing on the court but just to back off a little bit the petitioner is a public employee in illinois he is not a member of the union because of illinois law and that bargaining agreement he has to pay out of his paycheck so the basic argument is a violation of the first amendment rights to subsidize the activities of the union. why? because it is in despond -- undisputed so here the issue is the fees are used for collective bargaining so if the other party is the state that essentially try to affect public policy with the pension benefit with contraceptive coverage or a teacher arguing about merit pay so inherently with any collective bargaining that is a form of engagement lobbying with the government if you don't like the position it will take it is unfair to violate the first amendment to subsidize so on the other side to say it is okay with that decent argument that everyone a

now with neil gorsuch on the bench, he's expected to cast the dividing vote and if it does, it couldpeed up the rapid decline. we'll have to wait for the court's official decision in the coming weeks as gorsuch stayed completely silent throughout today's hearing. neil? >> neil: thanks very much. we have illinois' governor here with us. his state is on the front lines in this battle. i hear from the union workers that are saying, wait a minute. this is a not so veiled attempt to crush the unions what do you say? >> i say no. i filed this lawsuit when i first became governor because it's about freedom of speech and freedom of political association. it's unfair for a government union to force government employees to pay dues when many of them do not agree with the political positions of that union and in fact all government unions, by the nature of their work are political. 100% in everything they do and restoring freedom of speech is critically important. >> neil: the unions will come back at you and you heard this argument of the workers, the beneficiary of those due-paying members an

justice gorsuch didn't say anything today. justice kennedy was active and suggested he thinks that this rule should be changed. indirectly, it would hurt the unions. the question would be, if people don't have to pay the dues, why should they? if they get the benefits without paying the money, a lot of people wouldn't pay. >> certainly would have an impact. thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> always a pleasure. thanks. >>> now to the wet and cold start to our work week. earlier today there was a lot of rain across much of the bay area and even this. a dusting of snow on some bay area peaks, including mount hamilton in the south bay. this is what it looked like around noon today. for more on this winter storm and what's coming up next let's go to our meteorologist rosemary orozco. >> we expected this cold storm to drop snow levels down to 2,000 feet at some point. that's what we're seeing over the sierra. southern california may have the grapevine impacted tonight. here is a look at what's going on across the bay. we start

it's trump is expected appointee justice neil gorsuch will break this tie by ruling against the unionsright-wing and conservative donors have poured money into this case and other efforts to weaken unions. "the new york times" had a big piece about the conservative donor base around this case. can you talk about the importance of this case? lee: this could be the most devastating blow to progressive politics since the citizens united decision. and it case goes through looks likely with neil gorsuch on the supreme court that he will decide in favor of the plaintiffs, it will allow, as you mentioned, right to work rules for public sector employees nationwide. that means that even for members and nonmembers of unions, unions can no longer withdraw what is called agency fees. that is the money deducted from a pay check to represent workers on a contract. as we have seen on the private sector side, many unions enter a death spiral and it becomes harder to retain members. there are opt out campaigns. members leave the unions. because public sector unions, teacher unions in particular, are so

not many of the issues have gone through the court with gorsuch on it. which is why many people are looking at this with a lot of curiosity to see what happens. on one hand this is a trump appointee. we remember the roller coaster that proceeded the appointment. so it is going to be very interesting to see what happens and to see whether he follows in the footsteps of scalia or goes a different way. >> away heard from a commentator say this is a stall. it could be. >> we're all waiting to see what happens with the russia inquiry. we're seeing more indictments coming in. we're seeing turmoil coming down the political pipeline. any delay is a good delay for the daca recipients. >> thank you, professor. >>> coming up, new information about the florida school shooting that left 17 people dead. up next, the investigations now underway and the response by law enforcement and emergency medical responders. >>> an update on rex, the german shepherd called a hero for saving his owners. >> tracking a slide on stocks after we opened the session with much better numb

justice gorsuch will be a tremendous justice.nor to get to know him in the process, and the presidents of electing him to be on the supreme court. what stood out in his record was his track record on speaking about administrative law. you mentioned chevron, some people have heard this idea of chevron deference. it is a reference to a supreme court case from 1984, which is the case often cited by courts to give deference to unelected agencies, determinations as to what the law is. in other words, it is a statute in theory, and do the stand consistent or not with the statute. the courts are increasingly preferential with unelected agencies. the legislature under article one of the constitution, not in and an elected agency had -- unelected agency head. judge gorsuch wrote a concurring opinion on the idea of chevron, whether it was constitutional. a well-written opinion cited by many. it was his standout opinion at the 10th circuit. his view was that courts ought not defer to unelected agency heads. it is records to say with the law

and since then neil gorsuch has joined the course. and it's believed he'll provide the 5th vote needed to vote against the union. >>> there'll be a rally on the steps of city hall for those who want to show support for the union. >>> north korea may be willing to hold talks with the trump administration. south korea's president announced that north korean representatives said they are willing to talk with washington. sarah huckabee sanders said the u.s. will wait and see if north korea is serious about taking steps towards eliminating its nuclear program. president trump imposed new economic sanctions against north korea. >>> president trump has set a preferred date for a military parade. the president wants to hold it on veterans day. this could have soldiers marching and tanks on pennsylvania avenue. democrat call it a waste of time. he was inspired after watching a bastille day parade in france. the procession would run from the white house to capitol hill. >>> lawmakers are using a window of opportunity to get the fcc to change it

justice neil gorsuch is expected to be a pivotal part. in 2008, it was deadlocked, 4-4, following the death of justice scalia. >> how do you go about courting the king of basketball? pretty creative. >>> a company rented three billboards on a highway near the cavaliers quicken loans arena. it shows a crown on it. it says, complete the process, getting the idea? the final one says loud and clear #phillywantslebron. >> it was a late night idea, let's take out a couple billboards. let's do them in philly, if we do them in cleveland, he'll find out about it. if this in any way helps him come to philadelphia it will be a great investment. >> the company says it hasn't heard from lebron yet. the billboards will be up three months in an in that time hopefully he will see them or someone will tell him about them and maybe he will like the idea. >> can you stand the potential here, nfl super bowl champs, lebron possibly coming to philly. this is insane. this is a position the sixers could really use, glenn. >> that's right. combine him with simmon

he was not my choice to be president but i am thankful he put neil gorsuch on the bench.mber 29 you write, the gains conservatives have seen have come from the trump administration but president trump himself has been an undisciplined distraction. the gains have come in spite of the president rather than because of him, and you go on to warn that you think it could set conservatism bam. -- back. so where are you? >> i think when he does good things, he should be praised, when he does bad things, he is set back. he has done good things, his administration has done good things. but i do think ultimately you risk getting conservatism and evenie v evangelicals set back harder to be a role model. you want your kids to see somebody who is a good influence and he fights. i don't want him to fight that way. i believe they need to be held accountable until the last day and they don't need to fight that way. >> talking about democrats in this next sicycle, the progresse wing of the republican party are deeply skeptical about how schumer and others are behaving with regard to trump.
