neil gorsuch when he announces neil gorsuch. yes, donald trump views all of these things -- always remember, what has donald trump spent his years in the run for the presidency being? reality shows, right? he's always staging his moves as power moves. so i think the calling over of comey, the sort of blessing of him, the like, hey, this guy, i can say that i'm famous and he's more famous, all that sort of stuff is very trumpian, it's very reality tv star, it's made for television moments, and he does tait a lot. for a guy like comey, when you're 6'8", you don't blend into the curtains anywhere. >> he should have just not gone. that is an area of deliberate examination here. we're hearing from comey's side and it's strange to believe he doesn't have any influence out of this message about the memo that came out, and this guy wittes doing this interview and writing this piece. he should probably come out and testify, we'll see what happens with that. the big question for him, maybe, is if you worried so much, if you were disgusted

he is probably going to try to draw from the same template that got neil gorsuch over the finish line as well. white house protection agency scott pruitt, going to replace half of them members on the scientific board, a broader effort of republicans changing the way that the agency evaluates the scientific basis for its regulations. in case you are wondering, yes, this is not going over so well with some of the folks actually on that board. robert richardson, a dismissed member saying this on twitter, today i was trumped. i had the pleasure of serving on the epa board, and my appointment was terminated toda today. some more fall out there, in case you're wondering what is happening with the president today, he has a pretty big schedule. he is going to meet with mike pence, the secretary of state, and each arm is mcmaster, a lot of people wondering what will come of those meetings today. we are not expecting a full read out, but we do have the press briefing coming up today at 1:30. i will be here for you, all the latest. back to you. >> jon: i will give you the first question. looking

. >> chris: now let's talk about neil gorsuch. probably the biggest legislative issue that is come up in these first 100 days.amer the nomination of neil gorsuch in the supreme court, the american bar association and top democratic scholar said that he was clearly in the judicial mainstream and a distinguished judge, president obama aboutr ad nominees were both confirmed easily but with the gorsuch, senator you led the first partisan filibuster in the history of supreme court nominees. that doesn't sell the cooperation. >> let me say this, so did judge roberts and alito under president bush get democratic id support. gorsuch was nurtured and performed by the federalist society.the am ideologically he is so far to the right and i think thee american people will see that ah we see, let me just say chris, you have to let me answer this. >> chris: further to the right then ruth bader ginsburg, conservative presidents can nominate conservative judges and liberal presidents are going to nominate liberal and isn't that what an election i

he obviously had neil gorsuch appointed and confirmed to the supreme court.ou could have made an argument at the 100-day mark -- in fact, i did -- that trump had done much better than he was getting credit for, and then he does this. it seems like, you know, he will grasp defeat from the jaws of victory. he has to have drama. he can't let well enough alone. and he can't remain quiet. i think that this is a guy who in many ways is childlike. i think that it's entirely possible that this story is not as nefarious as people think in terms of the russia angle. it could simply be that donald trump has a fragile ego, demands absolute loyalty, and has no impulse control. and frankly, you could argue that's more dangerous in a president than the notion that they were coordinating with the russians in advance of the election. >> if it is dangerous in either case, matt, is it dangerous enough that republicans on capitol hill will step in and say, enough? do they feel like it's time to say enough? >> well, i think that there's going to be -- that that is a process, obvi

now panel of attorneys on justice neil gorsuch and the effect of denominational supreme court. this from the meeting of the 7th circuit bar association held in indianapolis earlier this month. one hour and 15 minutes. spinet good morning ladies and gentlemen. thank you all for being here on this beautiful monday afternoon. my name is brian paul in appellate to turn all -- attorney here in town and i welcome you to the circuit conference. since we last met in chicago in 2016, a lot has happened if you haven't noticed. we have a new president and more recently we have a new supreme court justice. so what does this combination of events portend for the future? that's the question we will be a dressing here today. there is lots to discuss so let's get right to it. we have four experts from a crossed the ideological spectrum to help us sort things out. their resumes are law and their accomplishments are many as a result so we will leave as much time for discussion as possible. i'm going to be mercilessly brief and introducing them. i hope they will forgive me. first we have tim bish

(rebecca) the news comes as justice neil gorsuch is settling into his supreme court position.9-year-old appeals court judge from colorado was the subject of a bruising political fight in the senate. it resulted in a political showdown and a controversial rule change that could alter the way the senate will review future nominees. gorsuch returned the court to a narrow conservative majority. ( darya ) federal prosecutors have announced there will be no charges against the louisiana police officers who shot and killed a man last july. investigators say there is not enough evidence to prove that either officer violated the federal criminal civil rights law when they shot and killed alton sterling. sterling was selling c-d's outside a store in baton rouge last year when police responded to a report of a man with a gun... two officers wrestled with sterling... and after someone yelled that he had a gun... sterling was shot several times. police say that a loaded gun was later found in sterling's pocket.

lou: you can watch it now with chuck schumer as he leads these silly, bizarre the the if against neil gorsuch, a jurist of the greatest order and respect, and schumer acting like a venal, petty pall. >> gorsuch-like appointments will be appointed to replace any justices that retire. lou: in the senate the healthcare bill rests. apparently a number of senators want to begin anew. your thoughts on what we have awaiting us there. >> it's part of the sausage factory. senate pride being what it is. they can't say we'll accept the house bill. they will want to say, it's ours. the president is smart enough to know, get the thing done, spread the credit so the senators want to go on the next rose garden thing? fine. senators like to speak for a long time. lou: i'm sure all the times he was under reagan in the oval office. president reagan had the saying on his desk. you can accomplish much if you don't care who gets the credit. paraphrasing it. that's what he demonstrated. he was embracing the house leadership, the freedom caucus. the tuesday group. everybody represented. >> over the years they disco

so from the travel ban to the neil gorsuch nomination to the planned to defund planned parenthood. this is nonstop legal action, all interesting to follow but again, really exhausting. it's a lot to handle and we have 1,300 days left. >> speaking of the travel ban, the attorneys that brought those challenges scored a victory but there are some other suits out there. do they possibly face tougher hurdles? for example, i'm thinking of the one that the group citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington has filed. it has to do with the emoluments clause. charging that the president's failure to sell his business interests really put them in a blind trust, actually violates the constitution. how tough are the hurdles for that type of lawsuit as opposed to an immigration ban challenge? >> so in every lawsuit there are two big issues. one, procedurally, does this lawsuit belong before a federal court? are the plaintiffs the right plaintiffs to bring the case? and then the substantive issues like on the merits does this violate the constitution? here, before we even get to the meri

and mitch mcconnell used it to confirm supreme court justice neil gorsuch. gop senators wanted nuke option to bomb obamacare. they believe they have could apoll list it. some are concerned the nuclear option is a slippery slope because it upturns traditions and the way the senate works. >> you should need 80 votes to pass anything. kennedy: that's fine. i have no problem with that. i think the healthcare law sucks and i would like to see them turn it upside down. >> 's mcbill doesn't short cost of care or improve the quality of care. there are dozens of think they could have done such as removing state lines and allowing individuals to pull together. a reckon sail yaition process is what this nuclear option would do. >> the establishment is always telling us yes, sir they can't do -- telling us they can't do anything. we let the republican president, republican house, republican senate. they better do everything in their power and beyond to try to repeal obama care. the panel returns a little bit later. hillary clinton trying to make a comeback with an anti-

i would point out that president trump seems very happy with his appointment with neil gorsuch, but neil't come out of those confirmation hearings saying we need to look at liable laws. i think he's happy with the state of law in this area. i'd like you to forward some names of some judges that would tinker with the system. >> i don't think the president is looking for easy defamation suits. i think he's looking for a level playing field. in state after state, there are is a thumb that is on the scale to protect the immediamedia. they can say things with impunity and ruin people's lives and reputations. they have shorter statute of limitation an any other claim. in some states have held that the institutes that are enacted deprive from the right to a jury trial. it's incredible what these institutes do. the media is protects from answering questions in civil discovery in a way that other civil defendants are not. so i think the president has a point in asking not for easier defamation suts, but the level playing field. >> eric, you disagree. >> i think we can have that debate, but that's

. >> stephen: it's a little unsettling that he seems to know the exact date neil gorsuch is going to e careful, neil. trump found the strength to continue praising himself. >> i've loosened up the strangling environmental change wrapped around our country and our economy, change so tight that you couldn't do anything. >> stephen: yes, he's loosened the strangling environmental chains around america, especially those chains about global warning which is good news for the coast guard because soon they'll be able to patrol the coast of kansas. trump also, trump also wanted to take the opportunity to give the graduates some advice. >> now i want to take this opportunity to give you some advice. over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair. you will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve. >> stephen: for instance, look at me, i became president.

and they point to judge neil gorsuch as a real victory of theirs. they willderal judges end up appointing. it's becoming increasingly hard to stand by him given the political pressure out there and how much drama this white house creates. they are not making real steps to disassociate themselves or distance themselves from this president by and large. i hate to always look back, but the past is our best guide. paul ryan, including they kept saying over and over that hillary clinton was careless with classified information. they took that from james comey. they should not be allowed to classified to information. it's one of the reasons why they thought she wasn't fit for office. tweet, find everybody's and what about the time he said this? and now, given the circumstances . a given that he has done the same thing and admitted to doing it on twitter this morning -- that is an argument that can be made. what do the republicans do going forward? do they stand by their previous statements are that it is just partisan politics. his staff and donald , the

many have recently focused on his father's legacy and now his replacement on the court, justice neil gorsuch, father scalia doesn't dwell on that much. >> i have not been as affected by the public dimension of all of t but my memories of my father and my siblings is him as our father. yes, he was a very influential supreme court justice, but that's not what we focus on. >> he also shared with select committee something incredibly personal that used to belong to his dad, something his dad would carry daily. i'll let him explain that to you coming up on news4 at 6:00, when our full story will air. >> i shared it on my facebook page. fascinating stuff. >> fascinating family. >> for sure, and i'm looking forward to sharing this more personal side of thinks. -- things. >>> why this long walk to arlington means so much to the men and women who have been on their feet for weeks. >> this is news4, first at 4:00. >>> a group of veterans is raising awareness about mental health one step at a time. >> yeah, they journeyed 350 miles just to change people's minds about ptsd and suicides among veterans. t

they are watching paul ryan, and mitch mcconnell, who has done a terrific job with neil gorsuch moving him to the high court. but by god it is time for the republicans to act like they know what they are doing, and have triple-digit iq's and spines and follow this president's lead. >> you have to start with the spine, and willing to move on forward. it is not necessarily the iq to worry bwe have to do -- lou: really smart fellows would not be acting like your leaders. >> well, you are right. wwe have to understand we made a promise, no excuses will be accepted and we have to deliver on the promises, i think that leadership is hearing that from americans. but certainly we're hearing that as we go back home, and it is one of those times we have -- we don't have any time to waste. it is now the time that we have to actually deliver, and let us start with health care this week. and move on tax reform in weeks to come. lou: from your lips to god's ears, how many votes does president have from freedom caucus healthcare? >> we have all but one of our members supporting president now, we've be

. >> i think the important thing is for the investigation to go forward i think we need a neil gorsuch type of person for them to bring forward. impeccable credentials and experience and i think once that person gets in place if it goes forward as it should go i think this hysteria in the tornado as you mentioned will come down and move on to other things. >> would you give continued supports. >> i would hope that the acting director would continue with the investigation i would call for him to appoint someone with the bipartisan support. someone who is beyond reproach. i do not know him. i cannot comment. i take it's important that this persois someone who is determined the republicans and democrats they have confidence in. i think we will be all right. you mentioned that you felt like he didn't have the right temperament he has worked for both democrats and republicans. and up until the situation that he found himself in i think a lot of people would agree he did not handle it properly. but now you have former trump supporter who is a billionaire hedge funds guy. he was a donald trum

she was the exact same page, 49 going a few month -- bet that -- that neil gorsuch was. what expects the golden era to get nominated. >> that's right. now, of exhausted and with me -- except for if we -- halftime about miracle. we are talking about legacies in history. perhaps will agree is a historian, it too early to talk about the legacies of the sitting justices. process -- in my 20 minutes before opening it up to the audience. i want to ask you some things -- cherokee audience some of your learning about them. i need to have you -- when we talk about these people as jewish justices, we are using the convention here that they were born to jewish mothers. >> yes, that's all correct. >> to what extent are we talking about people who -- for whom jewish observance, spirituality, billy, was a significant -- appeared to you to be a significant aspect of their lives, up to the time that they served on the court, and while they were serving? >> their jewish -- their jewish because they had a jewish mother but a lot of people want to know -- this is the lead up to the questio

. >> sean: okay, neil gorsuch. energy independence. these are all conservative issues. are our breath friends -- george will has lost his mind. >> is a personal thing against trump, as an individual. there are two parts to the republican party no. different kinds of tax. you asked the republicans. they are more old-time reagan people. you have to get those two forces together. he ain't going to win 49 states. >> sean: he might if he brings jobs back. >> 49 states? california for example, they want to secede. >> sean: find! go. another great book. good picture if you and nixon. >> i was about 25 years old there. >> sean: up next on this busy breaking news night on "hannity"... >> this is not a situation any american president can ultimately tolerate. something has to be done about that nuclear program. >> sean: condoleezza rice sounding the alarm on north korea's aggression. she will join us in studio next. also later tonight, bill "top this" maher being criticized, he sunk to an all new low. we will get reaction from geraldo, monica crowley, when we return. t up to here

to allow donald trump to pick that swing, that important swing seat on the supreme court with neil gorsuchou. lou: and it looks if the rumors, if you will, not street rumors, but i guess the hallway rumors. judicial system are accurate in suggesting one of the justices refire as early as this summer. erin, let's turn to mcmaster,' l lie-- eli at bloomberg is saying a conflict of general hr mcmaster and the president of the united states. is this an overentitled general, who just cannot find his place? what is going on here in your judgment? >> well, i think in part the president should have known, having looked into mcmasters' background and i've talked to a number of nfc officials from the obama administration who actually actually saw this coming based on mcmasters' history in iraq and that he wanted to do some nation building, if you will. some of the different modeling that he came up with while he was in iraq. so, this absolutely clashes with some of the vision that donald trump was talking about on the campaign trail. so, of course, these two men were going to come to blows at some l

say they're willing to meet with republicans or why it's a problem to have a conversation with neil gorsuchchuck schumer backing anything there? i don't think so. the messaging from democrats, they're usually good messengers but they been overwhelmingly fantastic. they walked into a few traps, i think the party on the lawn will come back in campaign ads. even if it does get kicked down to the state, people are still worried about that. we know on a state level there are things like when you are federally protected to choose to have an abortion but on the state level, a woman in texas doesn't have the same rights as a woman in new york. people are aware of that and they know it could happen with their healthcare. harris: isn't that an opportunity evan, for the idea of across the state line and being able to buy insurance outside your state? that's where we could hear this in the next phase. i'm not hearing your party sell that. they were unified on the light beer, but i say that because now they have to be unified in the messaging. fifty out of 52. it's not impossible for republicans. you do

health care billing confirmation of the supreme court justice neil gorsuch has proven anything anotherdirector will be a partisan battle on the hill. let's dig right into this with my paddle -- panel tonight. the fox business network daily beast and weekly common as anthony fisher and brian morgenstern do republicans strategists of manhattan g.o.p.. welcome everyone. i don't know what it is about comey but he inspires so much hypocrisy on both sides. i've never seen anything like it but i'm not surprised it's ending like this for him. >> i love how people can unite around disliking him for what he did last july and what he did 11 days for the election. jim comey has been great at one thing and that is shutting up the reputation of jim comey. he's very concerned about how he looked to the american people and as mightily as he tried he looked like he was fumbling at the job. even last week the testimony which i personally think was one of the nails in his coffin, it was full of innuendo about this investigation into any potential collusion between the trump campaign and russia. rather th
