secretary mattis, for example, and for the sba administrator, linda mcmahon, folks who i met with and after their confirmation hearings i viewed as qualified and competent but i haven't hesitated to do my job and vote against those who were unqualified or had significant challenges, clearing ethics background or policy position i think are outside the mainstream. i'm glad that he's moved quickly to nominate someone for secretary of labor but i don't apologize for one minute for standing up against some of his more extreme nominees for the cabinet. >> senator chris coons of delaware. appreciate it. >>> up next, much more on president trump at times contentious lengthy press conference this afternoon. we'll be right back. their experience is coveted. their leadership is instinctive. they're experts in things you haven't heard of - researchers of technologies that one day, you will. some call them the best of the best. some call them veterans. we call them our team. i've been blind since birth. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. learn a

what about the department of education, hhs, ufda, the sba. lives of the people. what about the fbi, the dhs, the sbc, the sec, the faa, the atf, the department of energy. the list gross, right? ... a so that the states can retain the integrity of the constitution and maintain the federal government in its limited and it's few and defined authorities. look at this. in 1830, we were experiencing many of the things that we are experiencing today. a federal government coming outside of its box, the states trying to push it back again, some people thinking they should do these things and some thinking they should not. it is a part of history called the great debates of 1830. and in this great debate, john calhoun is going to try to help us understand the power of the word reserved. he said the doctrine to the rights of protecting their reserved powers. that is a bold statement declaring that they have a right to do something. why would they have a right to protect the reserve power, because they are reserves. let's look at the word reserved. it needs to exercise domin

, for example, we have a longstanding government entity called the small business administration, the sba. here's the idea: in the united stateses-- it's been going on for decades-- small business complained that there wasn't a level playing field. when they competed with big businesses, they had disadvantages. and they wanted to have a better shot at succeeding as a small bususiness, so ththey wanted the government to set aside money and support to help small businesses--not available to big ones--to help thehem compete more success... and we have that. the small business administration gives grants, makes loans at a subsidized rate to help small-- the idea being, america's better off if it has more small businesses than would otherwise be the case. we do the same thing with minority-owned businesses for the obvious reason. here's a thought: a worker's self-directed business administration. why? because the american government would like to see these kinds of enterprises develop and grow. and why that? here's a democratic thought for you: if the government supported that, helped to devel

i think the democratic sbas where republicans were in 200 w49 obama came n they want their party to fightl see, i think, a vast majority of democrats doing. that but given the nominee, given the person who gorsuch is and the fact that he is viewed as a reasonable juryist, he is ruled as largely in the line -- in line with scalia which does not shift the court dra matly to the -- dramatically to the right, i think we'll see democrats coming over and say give this guy a chance. at least give him a chance for a vote. and, you know, we may not get to the place where mitch mcconnell has to go nuclear. because they may be able to get to 60 without that -- without going that far. we don't know yet. and there are some indications that, you know, the usual suspects, the mansions of the world, the folks in red states are going to give him a chance. zbh all right. let's hope. so because such a small things working add up to big things over time. thanks to awe. next, white house source telling cnn the president is upset with the way the travel ban has been handled s a power struggle brewing? as a con

the usda. most of it is usda. a little bit sba. most usda. does it work? does it help you do what you want to do? does it need to be spent in a different way? there are billions and billions of dollars every year flowing into rural america from uncle sam. is it being spent the right way? does it help you? >> the short answer to all of that is yes. in some ways the federal dollars do work, they do help. as i said earlier, sometimes we need directed in a more strategic way. and it needs to be directed with more voice from the local community. and you may say that exists, but we really need to have that push down even further. it also needs to be more accessible. directly to organizations that are closer to the ground. you might say local government is that entity. a lot of times local government many some of the rural communities and our small towns don't have the capacity to access those dollars. so that requires either some capacity building or structuring the dollars in such a way that local community, that local town can access them and really put them t

the law and constitution. will is no constitutional right for a citizen in a foreign country who has no status in america to demand entry sba our country. such a right cannot exist. such a right will never exist. this is an disagreement between those who believe we should have borders and controls and those that don't. that's the essence of this debate. the bottom line is the president's powers, in this area, represent the apex of executive authority. and we have multiple tools across multiple fronts to ensure that we're preventing terrorist infiltration of our country and to ensure that those who enter our country share our values and support our people. something supported overwhelmingly by the vast majority of the country. >> it sounds like you're calling into question the legitimacy of the judge. >> i'm calling into question the accuracy of the ruling. for instance, the district judge in seattle said that there was no indication of terrorism from these seventh countries and our country. that is a factually false statement. there's at least several dozen, perhaps many more than that, cases of terrorism from these countri
