schumer said earlier today in terms of confirmations maybe we'll get mattis confirmed and general john kelley for defense and homeland security. and maybe we'll hold a hearing for mike pompeo, incoming cia director follow. that's about it. the trump transition is saying wait a second, in 2008, we had our political differences with incoming president barack obama but we confirmed seven of his nominees on the first saturday. i also, asked shawn spice bert first order of business in terms of what the executive orders would be. that donald trump when he becomes president will sign upon entering the oval office. he said they haven't figured out what the sequencing will be. some of the things donald trump has talked about is obamacare, sigs, and creating strong borders. likely wouldn't get to that meaty part of it until monday. he will sign some executive odds on friday, taking over the reins of power likely. i managed to spend the next hour inside the transition headquarters, john spicer took me on an exclusive tour, met the entire communications team who have been cracking out the information abo

by tillerson, by john kelley at homeland security, by general mattis at defense. i mean mattis and kelley both worked for me. they're extremely thoughtful. independent, strong minded people. i know tillerson from the boy scouts. and i've worked with rex for a long time. we've talked about international affairs. he's going to be an independent minded figure. so i take some encouragement from the fact that the president-elect has chosen to surround himself at least in these cabinet positions with very strong independent minded people. and my hope is that, my expectation is that they will give him advice and council straight from the shoulder whether he pays attention or not remains to be seen. >> rose: and then that's russia. you and i have talked about it before. i expect the president and you have a different view of putin. there is a real question about what is russia, where whra is the relationship between putin and the president. >> i am concerned about the president's apparent unwillingness to criticize the russians. he's acknowledged that the russians are beh

there is also a person in general john kelley who is the new home land security appointee. and i would like to just read something that give a background to this sort of mentality that is behind this in the new administration. >> our enemy is safage and offers no quarter and has a single focus and that is either kill every one of us here at home or in slave us with a sick form of extremism that serves no god or purpose, that decent men and women could ever grasp, st. louis is as much at risk as new york and washington, d.c. and so it is quite a singular way of looking at things, very all or nothing kind of attitude and that is very concerning to me. thank you for also, i want to thank you all for taking such care to consider this. and san francisco i think is going to be the most responsible county to be able to really face the issues, that you have already spoken to. thank you, particularly supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. >> okay. thank you. >> just a minute, miss hogan. >> public xhebt is closed at this time. thank you to everyone that has sent out quite frankly
