>> ric grenell is not a racist and sexist. >> he has made plenty of comments on twitter and in publicontradict what you just said. >> i would disagree. i think he sometimes gets testy on twitter. i don't think it's fair to call him a sexist or racist. >> sandra: he has broad support from republicans, right, guy? >> he has broad support from republicans and also three democrats voted for his nomination out of committee. as well. and one other point. we have had democrats complaining that president trump is -- sort of dealing a blow to diplomacy because he hasn't put enough ambassadors in there complaining about south korea not having an ambassador. chris murphy a democrat from connecticut today was on twitter saying there is no ambassador to the eu or to brussels. and then they turn around and they are blocking eye ambassador nominees. if you don't think is he qualified vote no. enough of anonymous holds. get these people confirmed. the president won. let him install his people. >> sandra: one thing is for sure, adrienne as you heard at the top of this block, this is a frustration of t

once he got there, people non-controversial like ric grenell.y: these individuals, they have families at home. they have mouths to feed. they can't do anything while they're waiting on this nomination process? >> yes. brian: a lot of them will withdraw. ainsley: thank you, chadwick. mercyme is warming up over there. they will perform their hit, "i can only imagine." brian: bill hemmer who is here with loose hamstrings and quads. >> sandra and i were doing that. >> we've seen the footage. >> start after big week, folks. what is the word from north korea. so far it has been crickets. big vote in steel country tomorrow. why is this considered a close election? breaking news on the deadly helicopter crash. we're going to mars. join me and sandra in ten minutes, top of the hour on "america's newsroom." at causes . so your eyes will thank you. more than eye drops, dry eye therapy. theratears®. claritin and relief from of non-drowsy symptoms caused by over 200 allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real

ric grenell of knowledge, they blame it democrats, but the leader of the senate can do something abouts. i would expect dramatic hearings and posturing by the democrats. but ultimately both will get through. secretary pompeo has gone through and been accepted. i think miss haspel was implementing the laws as it was. i think she'll be approved and confirmed. but remember, this is up to the republicans. they are victims when it's convenient. but when they know they need to get through something, they will. this when we come in as well communicating these situations. charles: there is a lot of whispers that there will be more changes in the white house. to me it feels like trump 2.0 is focused on what he promised. whether you want to call it economic nationalism or otherwise in getting the job done. >> we hired a build as our president. when you look at trump tower made of glass and steel he probably didn't hire as many bricklayers for his clubhouse. you can be sure the president will surround himself with the people to get the job done. that's why with the new cia director designate he'l

the other thing is these people should start appointing people like ric grenell and start doing the job across the board by the way. i agree with you on grenell. >> this is the german country, the third or fourth largest economy. by don't we have an ambassador there? >> sean: i think we send herald. what do you think? >> i got another ambassadorship for geraldo. i'm going to send you where reince priebus wanted to send me antarctica. >> good one. >> so far we are doing okay with the penguins. >> sean: i think herald it woulgeraldowould do good in an . he would have a police siren. >> puerto ricans don't do well in antarctica. >> hope is going to do well. >> the thing about hope hicks, we can't overlook the fact that she was remarkable for her age. she was a steady presence. and i don't know, you know, i can't speak for other reporters, but she was my lifeline to the president. when i needed to speak to the president or i wanted to be with the president like the mar-a-lago meeting just a week and a half ago. >> sean: she was everyone's lifeline. >> she was everyone's lifeline. >> sean: t

102 fewer confirmations than the next closest administration of the as i noted before, blocking ric grenelling as ambassador to germany is putting our national security in jeopardy. today i like to highlight -- it has been almost 150 days since dr. polet nominated assistant secretary state of arms control, verification. verifying arms control including disarmament agreements and missile defense cooperation. we need her in place to fully represent the united states at upcoming international meetings to discuss syria's use of chemical weapons and to participate in april's nuclear non-proliferation treaty preparatory committee meeting. say that really fast. and yet senator schumer is holding her up, putting safety and security of the american people and frankly the entire world in danger. support assumer is blocking nominees indiscrimenantly. forces time-wasting procedural votes on nominees and eventually votes in support of them. just yesterday the senate had to waste precious floor time on universally respected nominee. terry done hue, who was confirmed 98-0, even senator schumer eventually

ric grenell is supposed to be our ambassador to germany has not even been confirmed yet. >> yeah, steveght. it shows the whole system is completely broken because in congress you have these ridiculous gerrymandered districts that are not representative. they literally spend half their time raising money. so they listen to donors, not constituents. they don't really understand polly properly. lobbiests are all over them. steve: sure. >> they pull the strings. the big point, what you don't have in congress is is the kind of populist, pragmatic problem-solving attitude that donald trump was elected to deliver. he didn't, he wasn't elected as idealogical candidate. he is about getting people together to solve problems. he is populist. we need more people like that in congress. rachel: steve, i will push back on you here, when you say congress, conflating republicans and democrats. if you look what the republicans in the house have done, for example, you're also conflating the senate and the house, two different bodies. one is dysfunctional. one is operating pretty well in tune with the pres

brian: how could ric grenell not be the ambassador to germany right now. >> first openly gay abrams andtheir platform and the things they are supposed to do. steve: welcome to washington, d.c. meanwhile rick saccone who brian talked to 20 minutes ago would like to represent the 18th district of pennsylvania. you were out stumping with him yesterday. >> i was. steve: you were seen at sara sara's candy. apparently being interviewed by a giant chocolate bunny. >> yes. much more credible than 78 of the news outlets out there. when they asked me a tough question i just ate it. it was great. ainsley: reporter was standing on the other side of the big chocolate bunny. on the picture it looks like the bunny holding out his hand. >> pretty classic. still more credible than cnn. steve: chocolate rabbit gave hard hitting interview and was clicious. brian: don, you were the winner yesterday in rick saccone because the polls have him trailing. >> livable, i think. so i was with a guy, great military background. great law enforcement background. great experience. this is someone we want in there. thi
