mr. mendes, welcome. a lot of what happened today was the so-called crowded trades that have been fueling the market up. whether they were financials, the infrastructure stocks. and others. sold off a lot. shall we be surprised? >> not at all. and thank you for having me. if anything is surprising, it is with each successive sell-off in the market as we go through time. the viciousness and rapidity. maybe it is because a lot of that is driven biaial goal rith will. the trump trades, deep cyclicals and financial that's have done fantastically. we get a pullback. >> you kind of separate out the president's agenda from the market ask you're looking at the economy and it looks pretty good to you. people say the trump administration might not be able to get 100% of their goals that shouldn't be news. this happens in every election cycle. i seems to me they remain committed to policy that's will be business friendly. deregulation which will be critically important to the financial sector which has been overregu

what would you say can be done on both sides to mend that relationship? mr. lewandowski: a great question. the president is right magnanimous in private. he has tried to have a relationship with these reporters. he has a good relationship with a number of members of the media. the reason i think he gets frustrated is because he knows these people and he does not think they treat them fairly. i think you will see continued outreach by the president and his team to develop those relationships so that they can have a better understanding of what that looks like. you saw the president give a 77 minute long press conference and somebody gets up from a liberal outlet -- this never happened in the obama administration. he never took a 77 minute long press conference. the president is so accessible, he just wants to be treated fairly. i think the way to do that is to bring people in who are covering him on a regular basis and having a better understanding of what both sides expect. if both sides agree they are not always going to agree on what the story is that you h

mr. trump was surprised by the disloyalties. how does he mend that relationship? >> we have seen a string of statements blaming others for the failure of the health care to advance. he started with the democrats and moved on to the freedom caucus. at no moint dopoint does he adm played a in the defeat. they need to bring these people in and talk about the next steps being tax reform. he can't afford another debacle. they will have to bring these people in and get buy in before they start the effort. >> how though. they have shown they are not going to back him just because they are republicans and he's a republican president. >> that's right. you are getting to the crucial part of his failed strategy. his basic line was to threaten them with primaries. they didn't think the threats were credible and didn't appreciate being bullied. by bringing them in before and getting their ideas and their asks and concessions into the original cake before it's baked, that's the best way to unveil a product that everyone can agree to. he has to show them more basic respect. it's

mr. trump is caught on a hot mike bragging about grabbing women without their consent. apparently the two billionaires now mended fenceman with huntsman to task a sensitive relationship. mr. trump had been a critic of jon huntsman mocking him on twitter as a light weight and weak. the senate still has to confirm governor huntsman but he sail through the process before in 2009. he was confirmed as president obama's ambassador to china. >> a lot of complicated relationships in washington these days. thanks. >> as we mentioned there was a dangerous situation overnight when tens of millions of americans found themselves unable to dial 911, this was a massive nationwide outage for at&t customers. and authorities were not happy about it. this morning the fcc is investigating the cause and nbc's jo ling kent is on the story for us. good morning. >> good morning. last night many at&t wireless customers couldn't get through to 911 services from their cell phones forcing law enforcement agencies to alert residents about alternatives for any emergency. when at&t wireless customers tried to dial 911 they got a busy signal i

mr. trump bragging about a sexual exploits. huntsman will now be part of the effort to help mend relations with the kremlin. >>> police make a disturbing arrest in the south bay. a youth pastor is accused of stalking several underage girls and investigators fear there could be even more victims. abc7 news reporter katie marzullo has more on this developing story. >> reporter: rajeev is accused of talking four girls. santa clara county investigators believe there are at least 19 alleged victims based on what they found at his home in cupertino. >> we saw he had a lot of photographs of these young girls almost in kind of a shrine on his wall. pretty scary stuff. >> reporter: investigators also found gifts they believe were intended for would be victims. they say sanhi had applied for jobs and volunteer positions at churches and schools that he handed out this business card to girls promoting his website and a book titled "jc makeover." the website, all about inner beauty and jesus. >> it's about finding people who are potential victims, cultivating people, trying to earn their trust. >> reporter: one 14-year-old girl reported sanhi follo

mended his position and that's being ignored. extreme vetting of hot beds of islamic terrorism and not a muslim ban. they have a political agenda of the guy who appointed them, mris not a surprise. >> martha: democrats, how will they do that in the road blocks? >> this is a stolen seat and that can't be said. >> martha: move on, that is over. >> having said that, margaret a i agree. jo judge gorsuch could be confirmed and he will be. but the idea that his confirmation will reset the trump for a fantasy. trump will not pivot and he's not going to. and waiting for the presidential trump is waiting for gado. the play will end. >> martha: do you agree, in terms of accomplishments and failures so far. >> no, everything trump tries to do will be met by a lawsuit and they will probably end up in the high court and they will be 5- 4 conservative majority and mr. trump will win and that's why democrats are on google trying to search for something to throw at him. >> martha: put the poll up while we are finishing up here. of the trump voters, 56 percent of them said scotis is the most important issue. if he wins here, they will feel good about that, no doubt. >> it is a

mr. chairman, and the members of the committee, for the many courtesies you have extended to mend my family over the st eight weeks. m particularly grateful that members have been so accommodating in meeting with me personally. i have found those meetings very useful in better understanding the concerns of the committee as the committee undertakes its constitutional responsibility of advice and consent. i know that i would not be here today were it not for the sacrifices and help over the years of my family, who you met earlier today, friends, mentors, teachers and colleagues. many of whom are here today. last week one of those mentors and friends, chief justice william rehnquist, was laid to rest. i talked last week with the nurses who helped care for him over the past year. and i was glad to hear from them that he was not a particularly good patient. he chafed at the limitations they tried to impose. his dedication to duty over the past year was an inspiration to me and i know to many others. i will miss him. my personal appreciation that i owe a great debt to others reinforces my view th

mending the relationship between the two countries. >> translator: i've always said it's much, much better to talk to one another and not about one another. i think our conversation proved this mr>> chancellor merkel is alluding to some of the comments candidate trump made about her during the campaign. more from cnn's tom foreman. >> reporter: even as the immigrant crisis was surging in europe, he said she was fantastic and probably the greatest leader in the world today. but as germany's angela merkel let more and more migrants into her country and "time" made her person of the year, donald trump tweeted, they picked the person who is ruining germany. >> i thought merkel was this great leader. what she's done in germany is insane. it's insane. merkel did a horrible job when she accepted so many. in germany they're going to have problems like you've never seen. they're having huge problems. >> reporter: during the campaign merkel largely kept her thoughts private. >> translator: i will not intervene at all during the u.s. american campaign. so we'll have to wait. >> reporter: when he won, she was magnanimous. >> translator: i offer close cooperation to the future president of

mr. speaker, i rise today to voice my opposition to the repeal and replacement of the affordable care act. i'll be the first to admit that obamacare has its flaws, but we should mend the law, not end the law. because of the a.c.a. we've seen the uninsured rate in nevada and in my district reduced by half. the g.o.p. replacement would not only drop 15 million americans from their insurance and raise health care costs on hardworking nevada families, but it would end funding for planned parenthood, taking away affordable health care services that so many women in my district rely on. ms. rosen: recently i received a letter from a constituent whose family has a history of breast cancer. she's so concerned that she and her daughter will stop receiving the regular cancer screenings that they need to survive. mr. speaker, it is unconscionable to vote on a life and death situation that will affect millions across the country. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from nevada seek recognition? >> permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> mr. speaker, i have a new name for th
