so she's an obama holdover, correct? the dhs acting secretary? >> that's correct. >> laura: that is a problem. don't you think? that's a big problem. >> it's just simply pushing the problem over to the plate of the incoming secretary, hopefully incoming secretary to make the decision, to make the tough decision four months before the mid-term elections. frankly it doesn't make sense. the time has come for this temporary status for these folks to end. the reasons have been given the last 18 years that they've been allowed to be here and have been -- they received teach reign, too little reign. coffee rust. the reasons are ridiculous. >> laura: yeah, that has to come to an end. how about the assistant secretary of homeland security's tenure to come to an end. we need that to come to an end. just like in the state department, it's happening there as well. the president's mandate, his views, his policies are being thwarted by obama holdovers or by career bureaucrats in the state department. this is really thwarting democracy, thwarting the election r

>> president trump doesn't like to keep obama holdovers and that's what she is.s nice things about her now. he criticized her sharply during the campaign. the thing with powell, as austin was saying, he's basically janet yellin-light to a degree. he's going to be dovish on interest rate hikes. he's not going to jack up interest rates. this way trump can both get sort of yellin's policies, plus put his own republican person in there. this is not a hard core, we really want to be more strict on how they do business. he gets the best of both worlds. he is going to be gentle on interest rates. i think that's how it came down to powell who, as austin said, is not an economist, is a wall street guy, is a lawyer. it's a little tradition change. it is also traditional for the president to renominate the fed chair. so we should note it's very unusual he's getting rid of her. >> she's from queens, an academic. gary cohen's name was in the mix, clearly a wall street guy. kevin warish currently worked with dan muller. so he was going to pick somebody that's a little more wal

the one thing he's not is an obama holdover. we know that president trump doesn't want anything, anyone that touched president obama. the thing that is so important is for the fed to maintain their independence. for years, for decades, since the fed's inception, we have known they have been completely independent of politics, or at least tried to be. we also know the way president trump likes to govern, likes to lead, and so we're only hoping that he's not going to be in a position where he picks up the phone, hey, jay, remember, i gave you that job, guess what i need. we're hoping that independence stays. >> the presidency and fed chair are meant to be kept separate. you don't want a president influencing rates generally lower. presidents like rates to be lower. people like that, the stock market depose up. we know the president talks about the stock market run about every week if not more frequently. we do too, by the way, so it's okay. he campaigned about not liking these low rates that janet yellen. i'm sure he's going to wan

the director quit on friday and named his chief of staff, a democratic director holdover from the obamaor. but the president named budget chief mick mulvaney to run it. question, when the agency returns to work tomorrow, who is in charge? >> senator thune: i think mick mulvaney will be in charge that i think very much it sounds like now the justice department has come out in support of the president's position on this. ultimately this may end up in court, but the cfpb was created as an agency in the first place that had very little accountability, very little transparency, really no oversight to congress, it is an agency that needs to be reforme reformed. i expect that mick mulvaney will be on the job and he will be calling the shots over there. >> chris: there is, as you well know, competing interest here, because yes, but justice department says the president has the right to put him in the job. on the other hand, under don frank, the way the law is written is the deputy director in terms of a vacancy becomes an acting director until the president nominates somebody who was confirmed

president wanted mick mulvaney in there and not the designated deputy of somebody who is a holdover for the obama administration. they don't like this watchdog agency. they think it is a rogue agency and they think it goes way too far from the original premise which is to protect consumers and obviously, democrats com meetly disagree with that and they say show us the evidence and we haven't seen any yet. >> we have a current employee of the cfpb and we'll get a look at this coming up in the show. >> speaking of, dana bash, let's talk about the to-do list and the right to pass tax reform and they want to do this by christmas. we believe the senate will vote on their version this week, but talk to me about the holdout, the wild cards and who this may come down to. >> you know, in the past when we've been talking about obamacare there have been probably three or four senators that we have been focused on as the make or break. as you can see there on the screen, it's a bigger group now that will make or break. one, ron johnson as you see on the left just adamantly opposes the tax bill right now, but

two bosses showed up for work today, a holdover from the obama administration says she should be the acting director of the agency but the president has appointed his budget director, mick mulvaney, to run the agency in the short term. of course republicans have been trying to shut this down for a long time. now, the white house has said the agency has been unfair to consumers, but wolf, they struggled today to come up with much of a list to back that up. >> jeff, thanks very much. let's get more on the republican tax bill as the senate moves toward a key vote this week. we're joined by our congressional correspondent sun land surveillanhr fatty on capi. >> reporter: republican senator steve dans from montana saying that he has concerns about this bill. he wants to see changes made to it before he could potentially support it. this is such a crucial week for republicans, pushing for it on this bill. republicans in the white house are trying to find the votes necessary to score their first legislative win of the trump administration, but the votes at this moment are not there yet. >>
