democratic senators about their feelings on granting him that one-time waiver, and aside from kirsten gillibrand, who is very fast out of the gate saying she would oppose a waiver for general mattis, we don't see that sentiment building upon -- among senate democrats. you have seen a lot of comments from democratic senators might just very pleased with general mattis and his character and background. it is kind of interesting. he was kind of the only cabinet nominee that could have effectively been held to a 60 vote threshold considering that is the number of votes that a havelative waiver would needed. senate democrats aren't going to use it because they really think that general mattis is qualified him -- and they want him there. >> let's turn to rex tillerson. who are the senators we should be watching as far as questioning and what issues are facing this nominee? >> one word, russia. secretary of state has a litany of issues he is going to have to pick up. there are a lot of foreign-policy issues that will be brought up at the hearing by all of the senators. all of the foreign hotspots. but

insurance plan, means people with pre-existing conditions can't get health insurance anymore, and kirsten gillibrandnator from the state of new york had the senate vote last night on protecting women's health care access and the republican leadership defeated that as well. so it's important towns it's not only they want to end access to planned parenthood, they want to end access to care for a lot of folks in this country and i believe it's going to cause a health care crisis. we saw it in texas and other states. so every person who's watching, if you have been a planned parenthood patient or care about access to health care, you need to call your member of congress, senator, and call the trump administration.
