and you're hearing that from across the republican idealogical spectrum. it's not necessarily tea party. it's not necessarily moderate. you're hearing it from a lot of republican senators who just want to take a step back. >> let me jump in for one second. this is one of the fascinating challenges. for wow watching at home, there's a washington process. senators say slow down. and the leadership would say no, we reconciliation. we have to speed up. you're going to hear a lot of talk. you care at home, what's going to happen to my coverage. in washington, we have tuke about reconciliation and scores. >> speaking of home, this is a local story. if you look at the front page of every newspaper, pretty much every newspaper in the country, the headline is 24 million americans or 14 million americans in 2018, so that's why this is much more different. totally different than any other washington fight they're having. but the reality here is, the white house was bracing for this. speaker ryan was bracing for this. they can't completely trash the cbo report because

some people may think he is too idealogical for this job. it might opt for mr., for mr. scott.king at experience, this guy ran a bank, ran a big bank, brought it back. then went to the cato institute. that is where we are now. we should point out to the viewer why is this an important thing? i will tell you from a stock market perspective, the markets are up largely based on bank stocks going up. bank stocks are going up on the prospect of cutting dodd-frank significantly. >> rising interest rates. >> yes but dodd-frank is a big thing. i'm not advocating cutting dodd-frank. i'm telling you why they are going up. some parts of dodd-frank are necessary to be honest with you. that is why goldman sachs is going up if this guy gets in there, so you know, mr. allison, since it is a hot button name, this is a positive for bank stocks, just pointing that out. not saying go out and buy it. i'm trying to reduce this to investing decision here. primarily both of these guys are pretty idealogical against dodd-frank, which is another reason why bank stocks are going up. so this is what we h

he's had a murder of support from folks all over the idealogical spectrum. republicans can come out in his favor. independents, democrats. i hope folks look at him for who he is and the judge based on his own record. >> neil: seems like he has all the republicans with him, which is a good thing. even lindsey graham, who is not a fan of this president, said it's the single best thing that the president has done, referring to the judge's appointment s to the supreme court. where do you expect the fireworks to be though? over this business tie-in and how he relates? >> it's been telling about the judge's nomination process so far. there's not been all that many fireworks. that speaks to who he is as a juryist and who he is as a person. there will be talk from the democrats about allegations that he's pro business. look at his record, i don't think that stands up. clearly there's some resentment brewing on their side for the treatment of merrick garland. but it speaks volumes of him that the past few weeks haven't seen a lot of fireworks about him. >> neil: mayb

gorsuch himself has criticized the modern confirmation process as an idealogical food fight. >> lookingward to the hearings where i'll be asking him some tough questions. >> reporter: starting monday, senator al franken and as many as 19 others on if judiciary committee will get to grill gorsuch who will fill a seat vacated more than a year ago. >> i look forward with speaking with members on both sides of the aisle. >> reporter: gorsuch has degrees from columbia, harvard and oxford. democrats are expected to portray him as qualified but unfit. does viewing a seat in a partisan way undercut the authority of the court, which is not supposed to be a partisan body? >> just because the president who nominated him and the senate that confirmed him might have thought about it as a political seat doesn't mean the justice him or herself has to behave in a political way. >> i took the task of this nomination very seriously. >> reporter: committee chairman chuck grassley says he expects president trump's nominee to be sworn in some time in april. >> i think he's going to be an outstanding member

i don't think this is idealogical thing.ook at decisions like jones which we talked about, or decisions like kyllo, thermal imaging of a home, that a search under the fourth amendment? the supreme court look is at original history, it is equivalent to peeping toms which would be a search under the fourth amendment. the constitution is no less protective today of the people's liberties than it was 200 years ago. we look at crawford, the right to confront witnesses an not just have pieces of paper flying in evince that you can't confront reasonably. to cross-examine your opponent, fundamental right of the sixth amendment. look back to the original understanding, that informs us. or in the fifth amendment, justice stevens in apprendi wrote a very fine examination of the original history of the constitution and said, it's not right that an individual should be sentenced to prison, handed sentence on basis of facts a jury hasn't found. those are all originalist, if you want to put the label on it, opinions, everyone of them. look

and i don't think is an idealogical thing. i look at decisions like jones, which we've talked about. or decisions like kilo, the thermal imaging of a home. is that a search? the supreme court goes back and looks at the original history and says it's equivalent to peeping toms. the constitution is no less protective than it was 200 years ago or when we look at crawford and the right to confront witnesses. not just have pieces of paper flying in evidence that we can't confront reasonably. to cross examine your opponent, fundamental right of the sixth amendment. look back to the original understanding. that informs us. in the fifth amendment, justice stephens, wrote a very fine examination of the original history of the constitution and said, it's not right that an individual should be sentenced to prison on the basis of facts a jury hasn't found. those are all originalists. if you want to put that label on it, every one of them. look at powell versus mccormack. it's a very careful -- might agree or disagree -- a very careful exa

they were duelling it idealogically and a partisan way back and forth. they're both on the same front. darrell issa wants an investigation of the whole russian investigation. and tonight elijah cummings is calling for the resignation of the attorney general. there is an interesting sort of watergate whiff to this that republicans are beginning to join with the democrats and calling for investigation, which is very interesting because if you're in a swing district, which has become a swing district for darrell issa, you want to be someone looking for truth. and i think that's always a safe position. calling for an investigation is always the exciting way to say i'm out there for the people. i want you to have the answers. i want the answers. who doesn't want us to have the answers? that's a position that is much harder to take. keeping secrets. >> so this is how it's playing out politically tonight. we also have a full front of this waiting for our discussion, and that is national security, the military. with us tonight msnbc military analyst retired four

issue where there isn't any organic consensus where you have a environmental group that is very idealogical, doesn't want any new sources of industry, new sources of energy whether they're clean or not because they're anti-capitalism essentially and industry which has different set of views and sensible people in the middle who understand there are things that have to be done and better and worse ways to do these things, how do you deal with the broader politics with this and your nomination was met with, such not the word would be panic, terror, loathing? >> joy, celebration? [laughter]. [applause] >> i among the people you have to convince, not the people already on board. >> that is interesting, because i think this process of environment and energy over the last several years and what you described, we put on jerseys. we allowed ourselves as a country to buy into a belief that if you're pro-environment, you're anti-energy. if you're pro-energy you're anti-environment. or if you're pro-growth you're anti-environment. that is something we have to reject as a country. we do it better than

they were duelling it idealogically and a partisan way back and forth. they're both on the same front. darrell issa wants an investigation of the whole russian investigation. and tonight elijah cummings is calling for the resignation of the attorney general. there is an interesting sort of watergate whiff to this that republicans are beginning to join with the democrats and calling for investigation, which is very interesting because if you're in a swing district, which has become a swing district for darrell issa, you want to be someone looking for truth. and i think that's always a safe position. calling for an investigation is always the exciting way to say i'm out there for the people. i want you to have the answers. i want the answers. who doesn't want us to have the answers? that's a position that is much harder to take. keeping secrets. >> so this is how it's playing out politically tonight. we also have a full front of this waiting for our discussion, and that is national security, the military. with us tonight msnbc military analyst retired four

they were monolithically, they were, idealogical monoliths in this sense.eally believed, reagannites, believed in tax cuts produce revenue in the future. they were supplied siders. neil: stockman. >> he did at the time. he did at time of the. neil: then he discovered got a little nervous. >> yeah. neil: you're quite right, supply-siders, art laffer, who were advising treasury secretary reagan. >> look at the obama. their folks were all progressives. health care is the way of the future. we don't have that in the trump administration. we have gary cohn, liberal. we have steve bannon national alist. we have wilbur ross -- neil: steve mnuchin hinting we might not need to make this huge. >> that is another one. neil: worries me. >> steve mnuchin is smart man but he is a green eye shade guy, you know what i'm saying? you need some of that too. there are no idealogical -- neil: you don't have the crazy fervor behind it. >> no. and donald trump is idealogically mixed. that is what is coming out here. paul ryan has a whole other issue. the fact of the matter it is

i think for him it's idealogy. >> he made a case during that speech that he knows just what kind of mennd women donald trump took from the democratic party. >> that's the general election. he has to get there first. >> chuck todd, we'll be watching "meet the press." it should be another good one this week. we'll talk about the health care defeat and the push for tax reform. >>> today the united states military acknowledging a coalition airstrike did hit a location in the iraqi city of mosul earlier this month. witnesses say that strike killed more than 100 civilians. central command said the strike did hit isis fighters and equipment and it came under the attack of security forces. but one iraqi official is calling it a human catastrophe. an investigation is now underway. >>> uber temporarily has pulled its driverless cars off the roads after an accident in arizona. a self-driving uber suv struck by another vehicle making a left turn at an intersection. police blaming the accident on the other driver for failing to yield. there were two operators in the vehicle testing the uber at the t

the proposals that the freedom caucus made at the end of last week were not idealogical and they wereble. they would have made the individual market far more affordable, which is exactly what the president promised -- >> neil: so maybe they dodged a bull let. >> i still think we can get this bill through. i think the president wants it through and make health insurance affordable again. >> neil: we'll see what happens on that. always good seeing you, betsy. >> thank you. >> neil: the president is having his son-in-law to head up a new office to streamline the government, to make it run like a business. tell me where you heard this before after this. where's frank? it's league night! 'saved money on motorcycle insurance with geico! goin' up the country. bowl without me. frank.' i'm going to get nachos. snack bar's closed. gah! ah, ah ah. ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. >> neil: all right. to run it like a business. how many times have you heard presidents of bo

. >> it's an idealogical thing with the republicans and i don't think the president really knows what he's talking about. >> president trump is reaching out to skeptical republicans. in fact, even offering a bowl night for some conservatives. critics note the co the bill to see how much it will cost and how many people could lose their coverage. nevertheless, the plan passed two house committees today. >>> your trip on metro could soon be longer and more expensive. the transit agency is facing a $300 million budget gap. today a plan to hike fares and cut some service took a step forward. and those changes could be in place as soon as july. our transportation reporter adam tuss has more. >> reporter: at a time when metro is losing riders in droves because of safe track, the transit agency has now given preliminary approval to raise fares and cut service to close a budget gap. t it is not an ideal situation. >> that's the reality of where we are with the system. >> reporter: however, manager paul wiedefeld shaking off suggestions that metro is in a crisis. the public disagrees. metro bo

and pruitt want to do is return energy markets to the free market as opposed to one of the most idealogicalof the obama administration insist upon all these regulations because of theories. i'm a social scientist by training. science is not settled. these are political arguments to be had. there is nothing wrong with that. liz: he will fail in california on this. he is going to fail in california on this. >> california -- liz: california wants to a different -- thank god. i can say that because i grew up in l.a. where i used to look out at the santa monica and san gabriel mountains and they were brown. you couldn't even see them, sometimes the hollywood hills from smog. then the regulations were put into place and now you can ask any calfornian, ashley webster lived there. he said since then you can see the mountains. >> federal republic. that is democracy. so i hope that california and any other state can do what they want to do but nationally, i think the president is exactly right. i hope he will follow through. liz: ellis? >> hold on a second. air pollution doesn't live by state boarder

the prop here is trump is not very idealogical. i believe absolutely that he would happily work with democrats to pass any bill to get his agenda through. the problem is democrats are in a bind here. their base thinks that trump is l hitler, he's horrible. they're demanding that blood be drawn. i don't think they will allow this to happen. last weekend, we saw the congressional black caucus taking flak for speaking with the president. i don't think they're going to be holding hands and doing any cumbaya on anything. >> we'll wait patiently for the cumbaya. in the meantime, interesting sound from a familiar face, a familiar voice on all of this. i'm sure our viewers will recognize him. i want to play this sound and we'll talk about it in just a moment. >> obamacare has serious problems. deductible are too high. the cost of healthcare is going up in a much faster rate than it should. ideally what -- where we should be going is to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee healthcare to all people as a right. that's why i

>> paul ryan is a thoughtful, wongy, idealogical conservative.he doesn't have the experience john boehner had and some of the others at marshaling the votes and counting. i wouldn't call paul ryan a weak leader. i love paul ryan. everybody knows i love paul ryan. i am a big fan of paul ryan. >> he has been there what, 18 years. >> we can all acknowledge that. >> stop making excuses for him. he was the advice presidential nominee. >> here is the bigger issue as they now move into tax reform and look at possibly coupling with infrastructure. all of these things are interrelated. they were talking about obama care. there was a big tax implication to what that might do certainly to the wealthiest americans. as they go down to the bargaining table right now, you have to recognize all of these things are interconnected. if i am a republican, i would be sitting down and thinking about, what is the next course of action. the other thing that became abundantly clear is the level of divisiveness within the republican party. the fact that they have this muc

idealogies. >> bill: very progressive groups.r leftist. >> and he doesn't like trump. he has made that very clear. he said trump is going to be the death of democracy. he is the one that wants open borders. >> bill: we all know who he is. i don't think that most americans are aware on how involved he is on these demonstrations. i don't know, yesterday, some of the ladies didn't go to work. you showed up, right? >> i went to work, yes, i did. >> bill: a nice job, by the way. a very nice job. >> a good way to demonstrate my skills. >> bill: and we did a segment on it last night. i'm sympathetic. i mean, i want women to be treated equally as men. but i also know that there is a big political push behind this movement, and the push is coming from the soros left. >> and i asked some of the people who participated yesterday, is this a pro-women march or an anti-trump march? they pretty much admitted this is anti-trump. they won't let pro-life groups be a part of what they are doing. l a b bill: let's get down to a florida. as you know,

and then as for germany, i think what we saw is two people who just simply are idealogically opposed to each other when it comes to their world view. angela merkel has a pro-european world view, and i think we know this president doesn't believe propping up europe is necessarily in the best interests of the united states. >> a lot of body language reading going on over the last week between the two of them. let me move, chuck, to fbi director james comey, testifying before the house intel committee, highly anticipated, all eyes in washington across the country and the world really will be watching this. how much can we expect to learn? how much can director comey actually say about a possible investigation into russian ties with the trump campaign? >> i think at a minimum, i expect to hear him somewhat be unambiguous about the issue of the wiretap claim. that's number one. i think that's the most likely peels of ne piece of news he makes. it's an open hearing. he wants to take the position of he can't comment on an investigation as it's ongoing, i got to think he will do that beyond

most popular racist idea up until the civil war substantiating enslavement of people, were the idealogicals saying god ordained the enslavement of african people. the enslaved people had a different type of christianity, right? was more or less justifying. also shows -- i'll sea very quickly, that one of the earliest debates between racist ideas in america was the debate as to whether enslaved people could become clip. write about how you had slave owners who sometimes were -- many times were christians, sometimes were ministers, sometimes were just doing that of course for political reasons. but they were making the case that enslaved people are to barbaric for christianity when in reality, if they become christian, they'll sort of read passages about human equality and then try to run away. right? but then you had another group which were mainly missionaries, which were people like the first major character in the text who is cotton mather, a boston theologian who was making the case that black people could become christian and that we need to separate the body and, yes, black bodies can

gorsuch is very far to the right idealogically but he's a judge that you can see any republican approving of him. the rollout was effective. and usually supreme court fights kind of dominate everything politically, but this has actually been eclipsed by all these other fights they're having, and this is actually the one, the gorsuch one that's going the best for trump right now. >> let's watch this week, peter and sarah, thank you both for coming on. have a great rest of the weekend. >>> coming up, the white house rushing to distance itself from the trump's former campaign chairman. the new questions about paul manafort and his ties to a russian billionaire. so find a venus smooth that contours to curves, flexes for comfort, and has a disposable made for you. skin smoothing venus razors. at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this. 'a bit of this. why not? your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. which is what we do. crowne plaza. we're all business, mostly. this is not a screensaver.game. this is the destruction of a cancer cell by the bod

it doesn't idealogically satisfy the right or those that need health care. >> you had a fascinating conversation at 11:00. go to brad jaffes twitter, he's posted a clip of it, but he was making the argument that single parent addition single payer health care systems don't work because ultimately those people end up coming to the u.s. for better coverage. your argument was? >> three points. one, they don't work so much that canada, sweden, norway, denmark, great britain, everybody uses them. there's no other system that actually works to cover your entire population. there aren't -- there's no influx of canadians or swedes or danes coming to america. for advanced cancers that you can't get back there, you can come here to go to m.d. anderson or sloet kettering but there's no inflex of canadians coming to united states. grew up in canada. never knew anybody coming to the united states for a test. it just doesn't -- the outcomes are better because they pay for preventive health. so people live longer. the american insurance system rewards treatment. so if you're not going to be treated f you're he

find out how -- what bill you can get passed in the senate before you make house members walk some idealogical planks they are not comfortable with? >> you could do it that way. but you have to have consensus first. you have to know it can pass the house and the senate first. i normally don't like the idea of shrink wrapping a proposal and running it through both houses of congress and saying this is how it has to pass. if you are going to do it, and there are some circumstances where that kind of thing may be the only approach that can work. this might be one of those circumstances. you have to do the hard work of making sure you have enough votes. it's not enough to simply say we're going to shame you into voting for this or warning people, quite falsely, if this particular iteration of this particular bill doesn't pass that everyone is going to lose. that's absurd. that's no way to run a legislative process. >> i have to ask you one thing about president trump's credibility. he did a lengthy interview with "time" magazine on the issue of truth. again, this is an interview today, senator. ag

is actually calling upon the model of abraham lincoln essentially saying that there has to be an idealogicale federal bureaucracy. >> they could start by filling the hundreds of jobs they've yet to fill for their own appointees so they could put them in these agencies. >> the president's stunning wiretapping allegation puts front and center a fascinating new thing in the new washington. they say they're determined to ignore all the drama and just focus on passing their ambitious agenda, but there is no ignoring or escaping the drama. the republicans who wish the president would cancel his twitter account. no, they are going to be asked daily about his twitter misses. they're beyond thinking he will change his ways. they see the liablehood of that as about equal to the likelihood of the president curing his twitter addiction. >> after i a quick break, wolf blitzer. imy moderate to severeng crohn's disease. i didn't think there was anything else to talk about. but then i realized there was. so, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. he said humira is for peop

this is idealogical battle. this is trump's belief that jobs are more important than the environment. that's what we're going to hear a lot about today. jobs, jobs, jobs. there is a reality here about coal. coal production is down across the country. coal needs are down across the country. you'll hear a lot about that today as well. again, this is about rolling back obama's policies. i know a lot of people that supported president obama were worried, for example, that obamacare would go down in a ball of flames. that was sort of stopped. today you're going to see the rolling back of policy that it took eight years for president obama to land. >> jobs versus the environment, what are the critics saying? >> take a look at the sierra club. they put out this statement. this is deaf stating, what you'll see on your screen. the single biggest attack on climate action in u.s. history, period. again, a lot of people are looking at the paris agreement, is that next? that's the agreement between industrialized nations to

this is a -- he is not a conservative idealogical creature. we all know that.uch of this sounded like, well, the new hotness is dead, and the old and busted is talking about how the debt matters, which is discouraging to me. it seemed at times that he was daring both senate democrats and paul ryan behind him to sit on their hands for exact opposite reasons. it was -- this is our party now. >> he is different. he is different. all right. sit tight. next, a closer look at what democrats thought of the big speech and what they will do if the president they love to mock is a loose canon sticks to that disciplined script. sir! there's been a breach. we need your password so we can lock down the system. my password? yes, sir, we need your password. the password that i use? yes, sir, your password. there's been another breach! sir! right. okay. i-h-a... ...t-e-m-y-j-o-b-1. ihatemyjob1? wanna get away? now you can with southwest fares as low as 59 dollars one-way. yes to low fares with nothing to hide. that's transfarency. sfx: clap, clap, ding no one burns on my watch

difficult when they come against the reality is that there isn't really a basis because it's an idealogical it's to actually say illegal immigrants, you know, terrorists and foreign-born people, we don't want them in our country, which according to some of the statistics is high up on the value system of trump supporters. i think he is trying to appeal to his base. >> talk about that reality because based on the timing, we have that very important report that came out on friday. they're getting word that they're still going through on monday. what do you think about the way they're thinking in the administration? >> well, the administration, you know, sometimes you wonder are they moving policy out to change the subject from something else that's happening? are they moving policy out just to satisfy their base? are they just completely inept at doing this? there's a whole range of things that we all can ponder upon, but the hard part of this is that this is putting our nation at risk. general mcmaster, who is a new national security advisor, a brilliant strategyist, he went to the president

not just lack of idealogical diversity, what this means for them in terms of their ability to compete in an increasingly cut throat competitive employment environment. >> well, they're very, very rigid in their notions of how things should be. i think that translates well beyond politics to everything else. i hear employers complaining all the time about this generation of students because they hate to be challenged, they hate to be counter mannedded. they have been told you're right, you're right, you're right and that extends to their idea logical beliefs in these incredibly homogenous enclaves that we krublghtded for them in the ivy league, outside the ivy leg. again the minority of schools as jonathan says but a significant number of the schools that feed some of the employers, i think you have in mind when are you asking that question. >> you say the same thing for the business school. >> not so much. business school is much more pragmatic. i was in the psychology department atu va, in the school of liberal arts. things are much more idea logical, much more a about projecting an

>> idealogically president trump is very different from silicon valley.ment techniques not just in the campaign but in the white house, they were modeled explicitly off of silicon valley. this is the first candidate and president to come in i want to disinterest mediate all who used to keep me from the voters. >> he is disruptive, that's fair to say. >> it's interesting when he went in and met with the tech people, had the first massive meeting, everybody was saying they are not going to get along, they all hate him politically and i looked around that table and said wait a second everybody around that table is quirky and everybody can be angry and everybody has their own oversized personality and everybody around the table does not take no for an answer. i thought when i was looking there other than mike pence, i thought looking around that table, wait a second, of all of the industries donald trump can sit down and meet with, he's probably more aligned emotionally with those guys and women than anybody else. >> that's absolutely right. if you think abou

is it because of his idealogical bent? >> what your viewers should understand, president trump said in the past he want ad muslim ban. so a subsequent executive order that targets countries where terrorism is a major problem and there is no functioning government that would allow us to ascertain the backgrounds easily of those entering the united states that there should be a pause rig people in from those countries. but the courts are hyper focused on the phrase, muslim ban. therefore they think it is religiously-inspired and there is no reasonable purpose for keeping islamic jihadists out of the country in a way that would prevent everyone from that country from coming into the united states for a period of time. i don't buy it. it is not persuasive. but that is the problem the president is facing from these judicial activists who are not giving the president the benefit of a doubt that frankly they ought to under the law which in matters of foreign policy it's really, you have to go, you have to be on firmer ground to s

i mean, the president is one of the least pointed idealogs we've had. looking at 65% chance quote/unquote positive moment. >> certainly his lbj moment. back to the uk attack, didn't see a lot of movement in response to that. maybe showing we're growing sadly -- to these things. wait to see what the polls in france say if you see more attacks like this does that help marine le pen. there's a guy at goldman sachs put out a note saying it's not his base case scenario she wins, but sees a higher path to that probability than most of the market is pricing in at this point. is that something that maybe gets affected by what we saw in london yesterday? >> it certainly can. again, god forbid it depends if there were follow up. traders certainly will be watching that and playing into it. but again, we need some details. so far this looks like a one-off event, not necessarily a lone wolf. they did arrest seven other people. but doesn't look like a huge conspiracy yet. we'll watch to see where that is. >> art, we might be coming over to your post. don't go too far

in this country, in large part because he's developed a rpation for bringing judges across the idealogical spectrum together to craft strong consensus decisions. so yes, i was looking forward to his nomination moving forward but i don't blame you, judge gorsuch, for what happened to him. ultimately, this isn't about judge garland. if justice scalia had died one month ago, and we were here today with president trump's nominee, we would be talking about the same things, i think i and all my colleagues have asked tough but fair questions about your record, about your judicial philosophy and about your ability to understand the practical outcomes of these decisions and it's because we are deeply concerned about the roberts court's -- what the roberts court's rulings have done for the rights of americans. in one 5-4 decision after another, we have seen the roberts court go out of its way to answer questions not before it, to overturn precedents, to strike down laws enacted by congress, and to do all of this at great cost to consumers, workers, small businesses, to middle class americans, to tho

trying to shift the whole idealogical of the organization. you're absolutely right.his is something that normally happens, i call hogwash. stuart: you gave me every anchor's nightmare because when you're sitting here, you say, what is going on, and someone says, i don't know, you have got two minutes. two minutes to fill. you have to tap dance. but, lee carter, you came through, thank you very much. >> great to be here. stuart: check that big board. we're down almost 50 points. okay, this is important. coming up in the next hour, few minutes from now, we'll get oil numbers for you. that could affect the market. in our next hour president trump starts a meeting at white house. this time he takes on the opioid epdemmic. we'll take you there when it happens. remember oil numbers more important than usual, coming up in a moment. ♪ yes? please repeat the objective. ♪ thrivent mutual funds. managed by humans, not robots. before investing, carefully read and consider fund objectives, risks, charges and expenses in the prospectus at thriventfunds.com. stuart: update you on t

system ultimately emanates from, and any attack anywhere in that vicinity just brings home the vast idealogicalere between totalitarianism and free peoples. neil: it will raise, rich, this back and forth we go through about, you know, governments listening in on phone calls, trying to confirm what's chatter and what is just friendly conversation. it always comes up after incident like this. the administration of course has been on the receiving end of what it says, you know, spied on and what have you, that is going to be another drama to play out. >> that is just, there is always a balance to be struck there between vigilance against very real threat and between our system liberties. we've seen, you know, just in the newspapers this morning, neil, that the administration together with the brits, has banned certain devices from being carried on airplanes because of what intelligence about isis threat. apparently involving potential bombs and batteries of laptops. this is the world we're going to live in. we've been living in this world for a couple of decades now. and it will continue to and ul

the question john is not just will they replace him with someone from a idealogical feel but a more personies where that does lend to a more natural balance or pushback. >> reporter: there are two key changes. the business representatives i talked to, they don't want to get rid of the office all together. they accept that this dodd-frank created office inspired by elizabeth warren should exist but they say it shouldn't be a single regulate later. they also don't like the financial arrangement where the money is on autopilot from the federal reserve. they want congress to control that money. of course, defenders of the agency like warren said that just means more political pressure from business on the regulator. to be determined. >> thank you, john. >>> it's not just wireless carriers that are getting into the unlimited plan game. the surprise company throwing its hat into the ring. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free.

in this country, in large part because he's developed a rpation for bringing judges across the idealogical spectrum together to craft strong consensus decisions. so yes, i was looking forward to his nomination moving forward but i don't blame you, judge gorsuch, for what happened to him. ultimately, this isn't about judge garland. if justice scalia had died one month ago, and we were here today with president trump's nominee, we would be talking about the same things, i think i and all my colleagues have asked tough but fair questions about your record, about your judicial philosophy and about your ability to understand the practical outcomes of these decisions and it's because we are deeply concerned about the roberts court's -- what the roberts court's rulings have done for the rights of americans. in one 5-4 decision after another, we have seen the roberts court go out of its way to answer questions not before it, to overturn precedents, to strike down laws enacted by congress, and to do all of this at great cost to consumers, workers, small businesses, to middle class americans, to tho

this idealogically driven approach to brexit will be disastrous and divisive and it would stand as ablock to continued co—operation in the important fields of technology, research, medicine, security, science, art and culture. the prime minister needs to face down these brexiteers. will theresa may be able to meet the six tests? most of them, yes, because they're slightly motherhood and apple pie. one of the tests which it seems will be difficult to meet, that's the one i talked about, having to ensure that the uk retains exactly the same benefits as we currently enjoy. when you think about it that's difficult because theresa may has already said we are not going to be in the single market, not in the customs union, so having the same benefits is going to be very difficult indeed. labour make the point it was david davis, the brexit secretary who first suggested that's what the government would try to achieve, that would seem to set the bar very high indeed. so, you are thinking at the moment it's going to be very tough for mrsmay to meet that which means labour would, i expect, for

my premise is that bernie sanders is the idealogical force within the democratic party.the party or his supporters would. have i going too far with that? >> absolutely not. look at the dnc race for the chairman of the dnc everything was very far left. you have tom perez, who believes illegal immigrants have more right than american citizens when it comes to labor this country. keith ellison is extremely farthest are. the party really moved into that direction. hillary clinton in the primary had a lot of trouble because bernie sanders was moving to her left. she in fact was more centrist in terms of her history, had to move to the left as a result of winning the primary. of course there was a whole rigging thing as well but she had to it move her positions to line up more with bernie sanders in order to get his base to vote for her in the november election which by the way they did not. he certainly has taken the party further to the left as the country has gone more to the center. stuart: they're making a running. they're the noisy ones within the democrat party. >> yes.

at a complete stand still what to do for health care reform, mainly based on their fundamental idealogicalericans from medical debt, medical bankruptcy, and reason being because these insurance programs have forced patients, consumers in really narrow networks and restricted formularies. in addition to high premiums, high deductibles, high co-pays, if you need a specialist or need a medication outside the formulary, you pay a lot more, therefore the debt. ainsley: some people have to choose food versus medicine, diabetics, diabetes, it is expensive disease because the medicine so so, you have to have it to live but you can't afford it. >> people are not taking medicine how they're supposed trying to ration it but that doesn't work. ainsley: right. what can the president do to fix this. >> president trump was very clear. he gave specific examples how to rein in health care costs. what he he said, fda regulatione need to lessen them. it take as bill dollars to bring a new drug to the market. no wonder pharma has to charge so much. they start at billion dollar deficit. by lessening the proces

i think the freedom caucus should move a little and stop their idealogical purity, get on board and let'shealth care reform. i just, go ahead. go ahead. >> stuart, it is one of the biggest mischaracterizations entire debate that the freedom caucus has not moved. there are a lot of things conservatives don't like about the bill paul ryan is pushing. so many things. what the freedom caucus and conservatives said, deregulate a bit more, get rid of obamacare insurance mandates, roll them back, premiums go down we'll be okay with the let's of the bill even though we don't like it. the freedom caucus has budged, has moved. one thing they are insistent upon making sure premiums going down for the american people. if you know anybody subject to the obamacare increases that is laudable goal. they should be held up as heroes trying to make that happen. not bludgeoned. stuart: ted poe left the caucus. he wants republicans to be party of government. he wants something done. he wants a yes. what is wrong with that? wait a second. can't you bend, just in this one instance? you can't possibly, just come

it is non-idealogical.on data, bringing in business to help do things like reform the va and how to get health care to veterans. bringing internet to every american. this is very exciting and if anyone can do it he can. stuart: you think it can actually work? >> yes. he is already working working wn musk and tim cook and others who have been against donald trump but now they're working with within this framework. the only difference he says he wants government to be seen like a business. citizens are the customers. that is a little dangerous inthf you want to move mentality of really delivering product where we have the a say nature whether or not it is successful i think that is a very good way to go. stuart: it is a great way to go if you can overcome the politics of federal government bureaucracy, unions and the rules. liz: tim cook, elon musk. gary cohn is on the team, former executives of gm and microsoft. stuart: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. liz: come off of sunday church, didn't you?

where do you stand idealogically, philosophically, impact there. what are good discussions to have.e days or a week or we're still talking about it. steve: russian thing would be completely done now if it were not for that. >> i wish he would call me before he completed. look at me. i tweeted a nude selfie. i'm not exactly a pair gone of virtue. don't call geraldo. steve: you were not nude. you had on a towel. what were you drinking? >> just, should be st. patrick's day. my sister sharon's birthday. happy birthday. brian: that doesn't get you out of a present. >> we're seeing her and grandma. 9 years old in zare -- 98 years old in sarasota. actually i'm there in arizona. today i can be irish. steve: geraldo, thank you very much. have a nice weekend. >> you too. brian: let me tell you, you guys clearly haven't read -- ainsley: we don't know. asking. brian: hashtag sweeping social media challenging you to come up with the best name for liberal mascots. you're responses are hilarious. we'll share some of our favorites next. and some we don't like. ♪ ♪ when it comes to heartburn... trus

judge, do you agree there is nothing extreme or inherently idealogical when the supreme court said inadison, that it quote, it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is, unquote? >> senator, marbury versus madison is the cornerstone of the law in it country. >> sure. >> i don't know anybody wants to go back and reconsider that. i hope not. >> i feel the same way. last week "the new york times" reported that the primary line of attack against you is that you are quote, no friend of the little guy, unquote. we've had that come up time and again in these proceedings in the last couple days. harvard law school professor noaa feldman, who does call himself a liberal, wrote an opinion piece on the subject that appeared la week on bloomberg.com. he opens this way, quote, i don't know who decided that the democratic critique of a u.s. supreme court nominee, judge neil gorsuch, would be that he doesn't side with the little guy. it is a truly terrible idea. now, mr. chairman, i ask this column by professor feldman be placed into the record at this p

so how will you defend the department from partisan religion-based or idealogical hiring practices? we have a great department that has steered away from that stuff by and large through its history. how will you protect that? >> i have a great deal of respect for the lawyers in the department of justice. i think discrimination on the basis of religion in hiring is illegal anywhere. with respect to the impact of partisanship on hiring, we have the civil service protection laws which govern the department of justice and i think it's very important that everybody who is in a hiring capacity understands what the rules are. so i think training is a big part of that. i believe every employee of doj is supposed to be trained in a whole variety of laws that govern their conduct including the civil service protection laws. >> will this be a priority for you to assure that the department does not fall back into the predicament that it fell into under attorney general gonzalez? >> yes, senator. >> okay. science denial and specifically climate denial has been propagated by the fossil fuel indus

once again the same idealogical fault lines?i would say yes and what we will see here in the budget, and it will be interesting to see what survives and what doesn't. does the border adjustment tax survive this? does a carbon tax make its way in? those are things debated inside -- charles: who is pushing those things. >> i will tell you in a second. those are the things being debated. it is the biggest showdown yet of the trump administration. a lot of people thought it was reince priebus and steve bannon. that was on more picayune personnel matters. this is between steve bannon, national advisor, nationalist, former chief of "breitbart," with gary cohn number two inside the administration would consider a liberal. how he got in there is whole another story. donald trump has interesting and unique management style. he had a gut feeling from what i understand about cohn, about how he is. wanted to bring him in. now you see the idealogical fault linesman fessing themselves inside of the budget -- charles: let me ask you though. is
