correspondent kevin cork is at the whi us how it went. >> reporter: for president obama, today's remarksrsity of chicago were less about the scholarly pursuits of constitutional law than they were an overt attempt to try to shame senate republicans into giving his supreme court nominee, chief judge merrick garland, a confirmation hearing. >> not only are they not willing to hold a vote at this point, they have refused to hold hearings on judge garland. and in some cases, mitch mcconnell and others have said we will not even show the courtesy of meeting with the judge to find out what he thinks. >> reporter: the president choosing the school where he taught constitutional law as the very backdrop to make the case that garland deserves an up or down vote. meanwhile, for garland, his time on capitol hill of late has seemed a lot like standing on a beach during a rainstorm. wave after wave after wave of meet-and-greets with senators, fitting for a nominee whose possible confirmation to the high court remains the epicenter of a raging political storm. >> i regret for the sake of this very goo

white house correspondent kevin cork is traveling with the president in germany right now. get back to syria. because this is a story that's kind of been bubbling up all day long. you know the number of troops when he would officially announce what can you tell us what's coming from the president? >> it's very interesting, harris. keep in mind, we're only talking about 50 on the ground in syria battling isis. you pointed out the audition of 250 u.s. forces in syria battling isis. that would increase to 300 the total number. that's six times the number we have on the ground battling isis in theatre. that's crucial when you think about the fact that this is a president who previously hoped to end the wars in iraq and afghanistan, and who has been successful in doing that. this adds to the dangers and responsibilities of the pentagon. harris? >> you look at the timing of things and the whys of things. why call for troops now? they've been doing horrific things for two years or more, isis. >> yeah. it's a great question. listen. here's what i can tell you. i've talked to senior

ken kevin cork is live at the white house they've don't want big brother on the boxes. >> reporter: oneerspective less is more. less regulation, less fixed costs equals more competition and hopefully more money in your pocket. i love the graphic you showed. if you're dropping more than 200 bucks a year on a cable box, box that probably only costs a few bucks to make, that make your blood boil so the white housing tries to change that. listen to how the president described what he is trying to do in get can federal agencies to look for more ways to cut costs and havemer innovation. he talked earlier today. >> the cable or satellite box is just one example of an area where, because it's been tied to the provider, and you rent it, and consumers spend billions of dollars on this every single year there hasn't been much innovation. >> so, effectively he wants to get ail the federal agencies, 12 of them to try to do the same thing, look for ways to cut costs. >> the reaction to the plan? >> reporter: yes. pretty much like you might expect, especially from industry groups. here's what one grou

. >> fox news white house correspondent kevin corke is joining us this morning from saudi arabia. porter: hey, good afternoon, from riyadh. you're right, quite the contrast in the welcome for the president. i guess relatively understated, i guess compared to the welcome for the other gulf members. it's down to business today as the gcc summit rolls on. a lot has been made of the deterioration in the u.s./saudi relationship, but to be fair it's not great, but more strained now, in particular because of the president's recent turn to tehran. but today, national security council adviser ben rhodes said the only way to increase security in the region is to engage diplomatically, even with countries with whom you disagree. >> the violence that we see in yemen, in syria and iraq is not in the interest of anybody. and that in order to resolve these conflicts there has to be a diplomatic effort with the iranians. >> reporter: i want to also remind you that the 9/11 topic did not come up in conversation yesterday between the president and the saudi king. he said ben -- ben rhodes said, look

kevin cork joins us live from saudi arabia, what's the very latest?adh. the president's visit to the saudi kingdom comes amid growing tensions between washington and riyadh. it's not just the 28 pages of the congressional 9/11 report that has so many people talking. it's also this perception that the u.s. has a shrinking security posture here in the region to say nothing of the perception that the president has actually turned toward tehran in his relationships in the region, most notably because of the iran nuclear deal. ash carter today said that gcc partner, the gulf cooperation conference numbers should never defend against gcc members against any and all aggressors. >> well, in iran, i noted that the united states shares with the gcc partners the view that even as the nuclear accord prevents iran from obtaining the nuclear weapon, there are many more issues to be concerned with regarding iran's behavior in the region. >> yeah, no question about that. by the way, carter's comments underscoring the security conversations which will certainly be ong

kevin corke is in germany. what's the president thinking in terms of this move. what's behind it. do we know? >> the president has repeatedly said that if you have see changing conditions in the strategy against isis, it's usually a reflection of change conditions on the ground. what the president has gone on to say if you see changes you will see more of it. apparently it's working. so the president made it clear there would be more americans joining the fight in isis against syria. >> a small number of special operation forces have been successful in helping move is i will * out of key areas. we are sending additional forces to help keep up this momentum. reporter: the president making the point that they are there to help drive back isis. this decision poses an incredible risk for the women and men tapped with this assignment, plus politically for a president who said he would like to end the wars in afghanistan and iraq. he continued to collaborate stop security cooperation. he's talking trade during this time here in germany. you may remember last week we heard from defense s

kevin corke is live in the saudi capital. kevin, how damaged does it appear the relationship is? obviously a lot of talk about the 9/11 papers and other things on the table as well. reporter: i don't think there is any question about it, really. it is sort of a good news, bad news situation, martha. on one hand good news is they remain security partners. they have a major security croptive between the u.s. and saudis so that won't change. but the bad news, you add it all up, you talk about the 9/11 report from congress, those 28 pages in particular, the ongoing battle against isis in syria and deconfliction efforts say nothing by the way iran nuclear deal and you really get the sense there is separation between these two allies we have not seen in many, many years. being here in riyadh, we're left with the sense that leaders are holding out hope that the next u.s. president might restore relations with different approach than mr. obama. naturally the president is hoping to allay those fears during his visit this time. but iran, as you can probably guess, is wasting no time in tak
