that keystone is exempt from the buy american policy. you would not know that in kentucky last night. >> and as i was signing it, i said "where are they getting the steel? where?" and i said "you know what, if people want to build pipelines in the united states they should use american steel." that pipe is going to be manufactured right here. >>> ivanka trump, the president's oldest daughter, is getting an office in the west wing, a space, according to politico, next to senior adviser dina powell who was promoted to the national security council. ivanka will receive classified information and a government-issued communication device, all this despite not having an official government job or title in the white house. in other words, she will not be bound by the government's ethics rules. in a statement yesterday, ivanka said "while there is no modern precedent for an adult child of the president, i will voluntarily fall of the ethics rules placed on government employees." but because she is still listed on the trump organization web site

>> so simply put on keystone it was a priority. the president came in, he signed an executive order on it. he had talked about it during the campaign, and he made it a priority. he made it a priority for his team here at the white house, to get it done. not only the jobs, but incorporating u.s. steel and there's a lot of the things, but i don't think it's any simpler than he made it a priority for him, his team, this administration, the department of state, and others, and that's it. he recognizes the importance of that to both energy and to jobs in our economy, and simply got it done and i'll leave it up to the president once we go forward to see how it goes. margaret? >> sean, as the deal maker, why does the president feel that that this take it or leave it approach is the right one on health care? >> because i think he has done, i mean at some point you've listened to everybody. you've gotten all the other ideas. you've gone back and forth. you've incorporated them. you've assuaged them in some way, shape or form. you've updated

this is a small town. >>> so who will benefit from the approval of the keystone pipeline.visors the fund is up 37% in the past 12 months. thank you for joining us. is there any company's stock that as seen as the keystone is approved you will buy more of this. >> obviously transcount is the biggest ben factor. they have a $7 billion project of natural gas infrastructure that they're building out of the shale. that's a reason to own a company like transcanada. natural gas is a great way to play as well and we own transcanada and that's the reason why because the u.s. is the saudi arabia of natural dga. >> are you buying more or are you happy with what you have? >> we buy every day so we are buying more. >> any other pipeline companies out there -- this is a specific situation. they get the approval and they moo have on. anybody else that is well suited whether or not they build a new pipeline. >> all energy infrastructure comes i think are in really good shape. if you think about energy and energy infrastructure, it's like the cardiovascular system for the economy. if you d

liz: isn't it ironic democrats in 2015 tried to do something very similar, demanding keystone but canut rider in says you have to use american steelworkers an american steel and it was republicans who negated that. >> you always bring up the past. that was the past. this is now. liz: i can tell you that the steel-makers and anybody in infrastructure, those stocks have done unbelievable well adam, thank you very much. let us take a quick look at markets. the dow is struggling to hold on to dow 21,000. we're at 20,994. we're just down seven 1/2 point. look at the nasdaq that is just up about three points. the s&p 500 is, i'm calling that flat. definitely not flat? snap stock, snapchat parent, snap, snapping up shares again. it is day two of the snapping debut and the stock continues to spike and skyrocket although off the earlier highs. still up 9%. earlier today up more than 15 percent on the news that nbc universal invested $500 million into snap as part of the ipo. with all that said, is this company really worth more than $30 billion. charlie gasparino is here. >> by the way i think

tomorrow, i'm talking keystone pipeline. what are they doing, exactly, today. >> reporter: steph, i think this is part of turning up the pressure on republicans. i also think that he very much wanlts to do things like tax reform, re-negotiating trade deals. i was on the campaign trail with him or he was out holding a campaign style event earlier this week in kentucky where he was focused on things like tax reform. you could tell he was eager to get to work on that. there's an element of regret here that he took this on first. that he didn't take on one of those things that perhaps he could have gotten more bipartisan support for like tax reform and re-negotiating the deals. like infrastructure. he is going to be announcing he is moving forward with construction of the keystone xl pipeline. that is something that's been in the works for several weeks. it could serve as a diversion nar tactic if this vote doesn't go down the way he wants it to. look, i'm focused on job creation and thing that is are going to help the voters th

if fort fisher fell, this was the keystone of the defense on the cape fear river. you would actually pull a ship into the harbor most times. they did not have boats that were me -- that were meant for these beaches. you had to jump over the size of these boats. in 1864the soldiers were going to be pumped over water.e the waves would throw these boats over. it would throw their equipment out into the ocean. and then they promptly would have to try everything else. imagine these muskets being used. there are single shots. is of your ammunition completely flat. your gun is going to be worthless. this was a major undertaking. when they got to the fort, they ablezed they would not be to be attacked and captured with the forces at hand. the order to with draw was given. the soldiers were sent back to virginia. it was a major blow for grants and for lincoln. they realized that to stop the war, wilmington had to be captured, and lincoln told grant he was going to have to capture fort fisher because they would not allow another failure at fort fisher. inew commander was cho

. >> you probably saw the keystone pipeline i approved recently. and the dakota.ery importantly, as i was about to sign it, as i'm sitting there looking at the approval i said who makes the pipes for the pipeline? and i'm reading the order saying why aren't we using american steel? who makes the pipe. well, sir, it comes from all over the world. isn't that wonderful? i said nope. these are big pipes, they must have to cut them bauds they're so big i can't imagine they take up so much room, i can't imagine you could put that much pipe on ships. it's too -- it's not enough, it's not long enough. i say let's put that little clause in. add a little sentence that you have to buy american steel. and they said that's a good idea. we put it in. if they want a pipeline they use our steel. and they're willing to do that. but nobody ever asked before i came along. >> only problem is, that claim is not true. the white house confirmed weeks ago that trump will not require the keystone pipeline to use american steel. that keystone is exempt from the buy american policy butou wo
