>> hi, heidi.it was a very abrupt would havehat been the second biggest takeover in the food and beverage industry ever. what our sources are telling us is that this deal was going to struggle from the start. when the proposal was made public just this past friday in new york, just two days ago, unilever came out very strongly rebuffing the basel saying there was no basis at all to continue saying that-- they severely undervalued the company. what we have heard happened since then is that the backers of kraft heinz, and that includes warren buffett, as well as brazilian investment firms, were fairly uncomfortable moving forward with a company whose management did not want to proceed with with from the talks. if you think about warren buffett, part of the way he does dealmaking is on a friendly basis, and he was quite uncomfortable we have been told trying to proceed with this deal if it was not going to be on a friendly basis. betty: it kind of feels like the cart was put before the horse spirit wh

heidi: heidi from u.s. post in denmark. you said yesterday that the u.s. would think about moderating its commitment to nato if european members of the alliance did not increase its defense budget, but what does that mean, exactly? does that mean that rocksolid support for article five does not necessarily stand, or you will withdraw troops from europe? can you elaborate on that? thank you. sec. mattis: the commitment to article five remains rocksolid. the message that i brought here about everyone carrying their fair share of the burden, the sacrifice to maintain the best defense in the world, was very well received. it was not contentious, there was no argument. it was simply discussion about how best and how fast can each nation reach it. i leave here very optimistic. we will take one more question just to show that i'm boss.

if you are senator joe donnelly in indiana, if you are sanity heidi heitkamp of north dakota, certainly, you are hearing from the president, you are hearing d voters in your own states. states where people believe in the role of law, believe in giving this man a full and fair hearing so he can be voted up or down in a way that is decidedly apolitical. look at what just happened to betsy devos, secretary of education, jeff sessions, new attorney general, swearing in today come a very moment for president trump. it is remarkable to me that not a single democrat voted for the them. five, six, seven listening to the constituents, think i might want to do the right thing and give the president the deference and the respect he deserves to fill his cabinet as he would like. we hope that the same politics that seem to have applied in these all nighters that the democratic senate pulled over this week will not apply to judge gorsuch. they will do the right thing and hear him through. look at his academic credentials. look at his judicial record, temperament. read those opinions. as president tru

people like joe manchin, claire mccaskill, heidi heitkamp from north dakota. are any of them likely to be peeled away and vote for this nominee? >> i think at the end of the day you mention will face enormous pressure from their constituents not to go ahead and go through the action of a filibuster. you mentioned bill nelson, up for tough re-election fight in florida, joe donnelly from indiana, up for tough re-election in his home state of indiana, joe manchin, who already said he will not take part in any type of filibuster if that happens in the u.s. senate. david: interesting. by the way we had a vote for rex tillerson who is secretary of state. he has to be sworn in but he is the secretary of state. mark warner, from virginia, virginia was not a trump state yet mark warner voted for rex tillerson. so did angus king from maine,t . he is independent but he votes with democrats. it is possible some dems could be peeled away for the supreme court nominee, if it doesn't happen, the question whether you're going to have so-called "nuclear option." i had forgotte

senator heidi heitkamp, joe tester, joe manchin. these senate democrats are facing tough re-election battles. so the white house had those senators over today to talk about a variety of subjects. the subject of the supreme court pick, neil gorsuch, did come up. as you heard there, he was asked about what senator blumenthal has been saying about what judge gorsuch said. and you heard the president there say, make this accusation that senator blumenthal is distorting his comments and he took this shot once again at senator blemmenthal resurrecting this old story from when senator blumenthal was running for election to the senate in the state of connecticut when he falsely claimed he'd served in vietnam. when he had not done that. that was something that the senator apologized for several years ago. but because of this controversy, the president is resurrecting those comments to go right after senator blumenthal. as you just pointed out, neil gorsuch's handler up on capitol hill, via the whourks from the white house, has confirmed to m

i talked to kevin cramer of north dakota who is certainly open about challenging heidi hydekamp.n passed over, she's at the top of that target list, and also people like luke messer from indiana, considering challenging joe donnelly. watch for those names to start to get more prominence as they start to decide whether or not to become candidates next year. zhoo that's the most important part. candidate recruitment. >> the interview with mitch mcconnell was so remarkable because you heard, if you listened, shot after shot sort of across the bow of donald trump. delivered in mcconnell's way, very lejts e gently without calling attention to itself, but, you know, disputing his characterization of the judge, saying the senate won't implement the travel ban, say -- disputing his characterization of putin, saying the senate doesn't want to take up the voter fraud investigation, and differing with trufrp on the nuclear option. you take all this together, mitch mccobble is very clearly saying to donald trump if you want to do any of these things, you're going to hit a brick wall in the f

joining me right now, heidi, usa today who's reporting for the front page tomorrow as well as republican strategist. this is a tough one, there's always a little bit of prejudice floating around in this country. we're a country of different religions and we try to get along. when somebody knocks over gravestones, you go wait a minute, something's going bad here. >> right, and that's putting a glass for the whole country on this phenomenon of what was once kind of a right wing fringe all right movement moving more into the mainstream. possibly gaining traction. and i don't think that people are calling donald trump anti-semitic, but asking him as a leader as a president of the united states, but they're asking him, what is your response to this? what is the imperative of your response to this as president of the united states? the numbers don't lie. there has been a spike. and i didn't believe the fbi. they have numbers too. >> even back in the '60s, i have political vikt ris, barry goldwater had people riding around in the country with rebel license plates to make the point. the wrong wa

three demomocrats backed tillerson's nonatition -- mamark warner of virginia, heidi heitkamp of north dakota, and joe manchin of west virginia. trump's nomination of tillerson has been widely condemned by environmental activist. klein said tillerson and other trump cabinet picks represent a corporate coup. the judiciary committee also approved the nomination of senator jeff sessions to be attorney general in a straight party-line vote. jeff sessions' confirmation has faced widespread protest over his opposition to the voting rights act and his history of making racist comments. on monday, about 10 members of the naacp, including president cornell william brooks, were arrested at a sit in in sessions of westby office in mobile, alabama. in january, protesters wore white footed robes and pretended to be members of the ku klux klan. sessions once reportedly said he thought the ku klux klan was "ok until i found out they smoke pot." on wednesday, protester from codepink disrsrupted the senate jujudiciary committee'e's m mee. >>>> the nomination isis approvy the committee and wiwill be --

joining us to discuss markets is heidi richardson from blackrock and dennis gartman, cnbc contributor morning to you both. dennis, i'll start with you. oil prices have slid meaningfully the start of this week. they're down again today. it's definitely weighed on stocks. the s&p on a sector basis, energy the worst performer week to date. what's your view on that recent move? is it something just a slight pullback or the start of something more meaningful? >> i think there's something material taking place here. one, crude is bidding for storage. clearly there's been increases in the supply of crude oil. the eia has reduced demand numbers for the coming year. and more importantly perhaps the hedge funds find themselves within egregiously large long position. so we've broken down technically. i think this is a meaningful start to the downside. i fear that something material is about to develop here. if we put into effect -- the market is disturbed by, as mr. forbes was talking about, the prospects of a border tax. i think that has pushed people to the sidelines who might have been bullis

and then you have democrats like heidi hidecamp from the reddest of red states.f politically miraculous that she's in the united states senate as a democrat from north dakota saying, whoa, whoa, whoa. that is what republicans are relying on is for those democrats who are from states where donald trump won and where democrats are not really usually representing them to say, okay, i'm going to give this -- >> to that point, again, the value of preparation, unlike some of the other roll-outs, the trump administration was ready for this one, and they have conservative allies who as we speak are airing television ads in these red states. ten democratic senators up in 2018 in states that trump won. we can show you the map. some of them, you know, trump won michigan just barely. trump won florida just barely. how much wind does he have there? when you look at heidi of north dakota and joe manchin of west virginia, that was 32 points in west virginia. if you start, republicans have 52. senator durbin is on the record saying he wants a vote and not filibuster. there are a

i'm joined now by conservative mp heidi allen, and heidi you believe the rules on disability benefits. i do. yes. ido. i yes. i do. iam yes. i do. i am a member of the work and in select committee, and to general work as an mp, and i spend a lot of time looking at how pip works. i think that many charities, disability charities, we should look at the pip process. and these rulings suggest that the scope of pip needs looking at again. that is what thejudges are pip needs looking at again. that is what the judges are saying and we need to accept the findings. we need to use that mechanism to look at the whole system. but can the country afford that? we are talking about 160,000 people. it is roughly about half a million per year. if i was in the minister's shoes, i would accept the minister's shoes, i would accept the ruling. i would take the process back to the drawing board, to the disability organisations. the government is doing so much work on the disability green paper, about how we can better support disabled people. and we need to make sure that the budget is there accordingly.

thank you, heidi. senator jim inhofe, senator pat roberts, senator dan sullivan, representative bob gibbs and representative lamar smith. we really appreciate you being here. and, of course, we have our new sba director, linda mcmahon -- [applause] we have a lot of very talent talented -- udible] today i'm signing two bills to promote women leading and entering the s.t.e.m. fields, science, technology, engineering and math. currently, only one in four women who gets a s.t.e.m. degree is working in a s.t.e.m. job which is not fair, and it's not even smart for the people that aren't taking advantage of it. it's unacceptable that we have so many american women who have these degrees but yet are not being employed in these fields. so i think that's going to change, and it's going to change very rapidly. protecting women with s.t.e.m. degrees and all americans with s.t.e.m. degrees, very important, but it also means you have to crack down on the offshoring, a tremendous problem, that displaces many of our b

somewhere in the middle are heidi heitkamp, senators joe donnelly of indiana and jon tester of montana. look for dianne feinstein as well. feinstein is no stranger to wrath over judicial nominees. she was a key ally for republicans almost a decade ago in the confirmation fight over judge leslie suffolk in mississippi. ton it goes on to point differential democrats, senator bill nelson of florida and tom carper of delaware. perennial swing vote senators chris coons of delaware and , alsondent of maine democrats to watch. mark in new mexico, a republican. what do you think? caller: hello? host: what do you think? saying to theas individual that questioned me that answered, i believe that doingmocratic party is andmuch of the wrong paying not enough of the right thing, which is their job, what they were elected and sent there to do. this isn't about them and their feelingstheir personal and so forth. this is about us, the american people. host: i think we lost that caller. let me move on to john in new york. an independent. your turn. caller: good morning. as a person with liberal leaning

i'm joined business heidi. first, let's try to do this. wa wha's going on with the positive reviews? i have tried to keep an open mind about him. i am not conclusive. when is it going to turn, is it more reasonable? yesterday, there's no way of seeing it as a positive event. >> both thing ks be true, when talking about a narrow sliver of the population in terms of his base. it is true, they enjoy watching our industry, 33-something per cent. >> the gallup poll before the election was 35-38. it's the same now. the same people that like him liked him before the election and they won. >> fine. they can be entertained by that. it can also be true that the category of everybody else can view it as a failure. looking at the same polls, chris, what's happening, not just the approval rating being low, but the disaplooufl rating. that's a big number. it's 59%, three times of the last three presidents. >> a couple days before the election, over 60. he's just about where he was, i think. we agree. he's about where he was before the election, right? >
