essentially he said, one of the things i warned him about was if you find yourself taking action unilaterally, if you find yourself taking action with people who only agree with you, you should stop and ask yourself, what am i doing? what obama was able to do, whether you agree with everything he did or not, what he was able to do was to build really effective coalitions of people who didn't always agree, but he found the common denominator. the other thing i think we should be paying attention to, and i was watching the signing disappointedery with our own legislators, right -- nancy pelosi is from my state. and or does seem to be the sway onwhich folks are going business as usual, as if they are just participating in pomp and circumstance and not actually grappling with the weight of this moment. i'm concerned about what the resistance will look like in the democratic party. and i think all of us should be concerned about that. quite frankly, there are at of our democratic legislators who did not attend this inauguration today, and they should be commended. and then there are a majority of

about the message of a populist movement, and he can put out all these executive orders for unilateral actionbut what we have yet to see is whether he can build a coalition and get these things done. he will have to do it with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. one of the things i think the supreme court fight will allow him to do is establish channels and team up with capitol hill for getting a big priority done. if he can do that effectively, that will bode well for policy agenda he wants to execute. this white house is that its very beginning stages. they do not have much of a coalitions operation. -- even a communications they have a lot of work to do. charlie: the washington post had a fascinating piece yesterday, in which you got an inside look at how it is. circlingp with his particles in the paper he was interested in and wanted action or a response to. of his modussense operandi in the white house. discussed, hee sees disruption and tweets as power and away a rattling washington. he creates challenges for himself in this town with his mo. we look at the new controversy about alleged vote

he can talk about the message of a populist movement and put out orders for unilateral action but what we have yet to see if he'll be able to build a coalition and he'll have to do that with mitch mcconnel and paul ryan and one thing the supreme court fight coming up that will allow him to do is establish channels and team up win capitol hill for getting that done. if he can do that effectively it will bode well for the policy agenda he want to execute. but right now this white house is at its very beginning stages. they don't have much of a coalition's operation. they don't even have much of a communication's operation beyond a press secretary. they have a lot of work to do. >> charlie: the washington post had a fascinating piece i think yet, robert, you got an inside look at how it is both trump with his pen circling articles in the papers he was interested in and wanted action on or a response to. give us your sense of his modus operandi in the white house? >> trump sees disruption and tweets as power to rattle washington. he's creating challenges in his town with his m.o. we look a

put out all these executive orders for unilateral action.is what we have yet to see whether he's going to be able to build a coalition to get these things done. do that with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. and one of the things that i think this supreme court fight coming up will allow him to do is sort of establish some upthose channels and team with capitol hill for getting a big priority done. effectively,that then i think that will bode well for some of the policy agenda to execute.s but right now, this white house is at its very sort of beginning stages. they don't have much of a coalitions operation. much of a even have communications operation beyond the press secretary and key staff. of work to do lot to put some of that in motion. >> the washington post had a fascinating piece, i think it yesterday, robert, in which you got a real inside look at hisit is, both trump with pen circling articles in the papers that he was interested in wanted ad action on or response to. of how -- hisense operandi in the white house. >> well, as much as

so back then it was unilateral actions, people defending their own territories and their own economies. what happened was that the domino effect of those measures wiped out two-thirds of trade. two-thirds. that's huge. if that happened today, it would be a catastrophe. today there's rules. >> when the trade deals were being signed, many decades ago actually, the united states represented 60%, 70% of world gdp. today it's just over 20%. actually they've been slow in terms of addressing policy like border taxes. v.a.t. has sprung up around the world. the united states has done nothing about it. so there's an asymmetry now as far as the united states is concerned. these are the countries allowed to drop corporate tax rates, the united states ends up with high corporate tax rates and no border controls. is this unfair to them at the moment? this is what donald trump talks about. >> we have to be mindful of the impact trade has. one thing that has not been discussed is unemployment. trade is responsible for two job losses out of ten. the other eight are not lost because of trade. they are l

michael: to take unilateral actions that raise barriers on ports from china to the united states. charlie: -- exports from china to the united states. charlie: the very thing donald trump threatened. would give china license to retaliate and imitate, both of which would have a dramatic impact on our economy. charlie: donald trump says america first. ourael: all of us believe job in government is to pursue u.s. interests first and foremost. it really depends on how you are.e what those interests we have benefited enormously over the last 70 years from setting up a set of rules for the international economy that has allowed capitalism to flourish and our exports to flourish, and if that is going to be undone in the name of america first, it's going to be bad. what about the claim that china is not on a level playing field? michael: one of the things that china is they are very disciplined in pursuing national self-interest in the most narrowly defined sense. charlie: china first. anyael: without taking responsibility for the international trading system. we have pressed them to take

linkedause it would be -- the unilateral actions that would raise barriers.hat is a thing that donald trump has threatened. that would then give china license to retaliate against us, to imitate us. both of which, we would have a dramatic impact on our economy. charlie: donald trump says he believes in america first. >> but i think all of us believe that our jobs in government are to pursue u.s. interests, first and foremost. it depends on how you define what those interests are. we have benefited it honestly over the last 70 years from setting up a set of rules for the international economy that has allowed capitalism to flourish, markets to flourish. our exports to flourish. and if that is going to be undone in the name of america first, it is going to have an impact. charlie: is there an argument to be made that the -- that it is not a level >> playing field? absolutely. one of the great frustrations is that they are very disciplined about pursuing their national interests in the most narrowly defined sense. china first, without taking any responsibility f

. >> he should not try to go it alone with unilateral actions with executive orders. he should sit down with the new congress and find out where we can work together. president obama uses pen and phone and executive orders to exceed his power in our perspective. everything that president obama did by executive order this new president can undo. we would like to see these things undone and we'd like to see power restored to the people in the states not the federal government. that is what this new president is doing. >> it's awful when president obama is doing it but great when president trump is doing it. >> two things. what paul said was correct and what donald trump is doing is undoing what president obama did, which did exceed his authority, particularly on immigration. he had no authority to do that. in fact, the courts have knocked him down for exceeding his authority. that's one. two, he's doing executive orders consistent with what congress would like to have done. as opposed to being frustrated by congress and not being able to get things done then going over

>> well, with congress in the past, in a bipartisan way has said, before a president takes a unilateral action, that president ought to consult with congress. my hope is, i know all the democrats would agree with that, i hope the republins would as well, that we would put the president-elect on notice, if he wants to take actions that would change course on russia, he owes it to confer with congress first. this is something, you have senator mccain, rubio, senator graham, this is something that crosses can both sides of the aisle. we know that mr. putin's activities in terms of interfering with our elections, his activities in terms of barbarism in syria, this is not something that should be rewarded, this kind of bad behavior. >> mark warner. just to reiterate, you are going to vote to support mike pompeo? >> i am. >> as the ranking democrat -- >> he's got to make sure he's got all his answers in, the written answers, all his paperwork in, but his written answers, as well, to members who have asked that question. >> that is a critical nomination that's going to fly through, all things being e

. >> what would cause a trade war would be to take unilateral actions that raise barriers to exports from china to the united states. and-- . >> rose: the very thing that donald trump has threatened. >> and that that would then give china license to retaliate against us, to imitate us, both of which would have a dramatic impact on our economy. >> rose: donald trump says he believes in america first. >> look, i think all of us believe that our jobs in government are to pursue u.s. interests, first and fore most. and i think it really depends how you define what those are. we have benefited enormously over the last 70 years from setting up a set of rules for the international economy that has allowed capitalism to flourish, markets to flourish, our exports to flourish. and if that's going to be undone in the name of american first, it's going to have an impact. >> rose: is there an argument to be made that the chinese have not played fair. >> absolutely. >> rose: that it's not a level playing field. >> absolutely. look, i think one of the great frustrations with china is that they are

in unilateral action and pressuring the main to do one thing or another. what you need to know to europe for next week. -- you're up for next week. in french politics, they decide on their party on sunday. and the british house of congress trickling -- triggering article 50 next tuesday. joe: and we will be looking at articles from the federal reserve, including job reports from the trump presidency on friday. most of it includes the 10 days in january that he was president. watch those central bank decisions, including the feds not expecting a hike, but it will be interesting if they set of march. scarlet: and we get more earnings. we get earnings releases from facebook, amazon, and apple. this is with the nasdaq near record highs. no shortage of market capitalists for next week. that's all for us, think -- thanks for watching. retired marine corps general james mattis was officially sworn in today is the 26 u.s. secretary of defense. the president had said earlier that he believes hearts interrogation techniques are effective. theident that is has -- pre

one of the thee cease for the financials, president trump has shown he will unilaterally take action. he is a real estate investor. he is going to attack dodd/frank. >> i don't care if he attacks dodd/frank. >> are you sure? >> not with the stocks i own. i have citi and b of a. >> it doesn't matter? >> it is great. >> it will be a help but that's not part of my investment case. of course, i care. that's not why i own it. that's a bonus. >> quit arguing. i just tried to show you the promised land and you fight me. >> i own them. they are all discounts to book. if dodd/frank happens, great, it will increase my portfolio that much more. >> aren't the financials going up more because of the prospects of reflating the economy, inflation going up, interest rates? >> that's part of it. >> more a part than rolling back dodd/frank. >> there are three main things, exactly what you just said. and what steve said about book values. i was saying that yesterday. absolutely. if you roll back any part of dodd/frank, that's going to make it easier for banks to lend. that's where they make their money.

this was a unilateral executive action.ience at obama's announcement may have applauded. >> it's all about coal. >> but from other quarters -- >> fight those who believe they -- >> -- the reaction was anger. >> our nation's coal miners provide affordable, reliable electricity that continues to power america. >> and the anger wasn't contained to coal. president obama's old law school professor and mentor laurence tribe, who it must be said was representing a coal company, had compared obama's tactics on climate change to nothing less than -- >> burning the constitution of the united states. >> those who would argue that any actions i've taken have been contrary to my legal powers are wrong. and we've taken it really seriously. and i make no apologies for it. >> despite the president's confidence, the clean power plan hasn't gone into effect. more than two dozen states sued to stop it. the supreme court ordered the implementation delayed until the appeals play themselves out. and now, president-elect trump has vowed to rescin

essentially he said, one of the things i warned him about was if you find yourself taking action unilaterallyle who only agree with you, you should stop and ask yourself, what am i doing? what obabama was able to do, whether you agree with everything he did or not, what he was able to do was to build really effective coalitions of people who didn't always agree, but he found the common denominator. the other thing i think we should be paying attention to, and i was watching the signing disappointedery with our own legislators, right -- nancy pelosi is from my state. and or does seem to be the sway onwhich folks are going business as usual, as if they are just participating in pomp and circumstance and not actually grappling with the weight of this moment. i'm concerned about what the resistance will look like in the democratic party. and i think all of us should be concerned about that. quite frankly, there are at of our democratic legislators who did not attend this inauguration today, and they should be commended. and then there are a majority of senate democrats who didn't participate. par

should not allow actions that would dictate peace terms or recognize unilateral palestinian actions but encourage the parties to figure out a path forward. we've all been disappointed by the lack of progress on this issue. how could you use your role as u.n. am bass kor to help find -- it may not seem like it's right around the corner, but we always have to be trying to help find a path toward achieving the goal that we've had for so very long? >> i think as important as it is for the united states to see israel as an ally, it's just as important for us to want peace in that error. i think it's important that we support coming to the table, that they continue to have those discussions. and that we encourage other security council members rather than putting forth or allowing resolutions like that to instead show their support for how they want the two to come together and have those discussions. >> senator young asked you a question about your having a discussion about syria, and about why there had been insufficient action in syria. he pointed out russia over and over again vetoed secu

should not allow security council actions that would either dictate peace terms or recognize unilateral palestinian actions but find the path forward, i think it was reported out unanimously, we've all been disappointed by the lack of progress on this issue, how would you use your role as ambassador, may not seem like it's right around the corner but have to be trying to find a path toward the goal that we've been achieving for so long? >> i think as important as it is to see israel as an ally, it's important that we see peace. it's important to encourage other members to -- instead show their support in how they want the two to come together in those discussions. >> senator young asked you -- you had a discussion about syria and he pointed out that russia had over and over again vetoed resolutions about syria and really wasn't a surprise, it was probably understood they would veto them but there's still a value in putting the resolution on the table even if a security council member is going to veto it just to see who is going to stand stand up and who won't. >> russia did it with resp

the failings of obamacare and ticked through their upsetness with the president for acting unilaterally on actions. what they're talking about today, executive actions on day one, unclear whether or not that's going to involve obamacare. most lawmakers coming out says those executive actions will not be designated for obamacare. and the very criticism house republicans have lodged, leveled against this president, namely that he hasn't been acting in a bipartisan way, they are starting things off with mike pence speaking directly to house republicans. in some ways doing the things say so successfully ran against the president for. hallie? >> it wasn't just the affordable care act but clearly that dominated the discussion among reporters and with house speaker paul ryan and others. you heard vice president-elect pence asked about russia. he clearly backed up his boss, right? >> yeah, well, it was somewhere between a backup and a dodge. he was asked to endorse speaker ryan's view on julian assange. he said we'll be receiving those briefings. they received their intelligence briefing on russia. he con

to legislate the president's misguided policies for him , he increasingly resorted to unilateral regulatory actions to legislate by executive fiat. it is time to say never again. the reins act, in one fell swoop, puts a stop to abuses like president obama's and assures that congress, the body to which the constitution assigns the power to legislate, has the necessary tools to block the most overreaching regulations and mandates on the american peoplement this motion to recommit seeks only to distract from the urgent need to reform our regulatory system and reduce unnecessary burdens on the public. when health care reform regulations are adopted, they should be adopted with approval of this body. i urge all of my colleagues to support this bill, reject this motion to recommit, and show america that congress can act for the good of job creators and all americans who desperately want and need jobs. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia yields back. without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. the question is on the m

>> right, immigration certainly is one area where because president obama acted unilaterally and through executive actionit's easy for this new administration to do the opposite. i look at obamacare and the impact of what the repeal of the affordable care act is going to mean for california, which invested heavily in the affordable care act from the very start. and the big question here is going to be is president trump's approach going to be we're going to let california do this their thing? i don't agree with what they're doing but as someone who respects states' rights and federalism, i'm going to let them do what they want to? or take a heavy-handed approach saying, we're going to move in this direction whether they like it or not? >> that's where the stakes are high. talking about $20 billion in federal funding goes to california. 4.6 million people in the aca here. >> have there been any serious discussions donald trump is going to let california do its own thing? >> i think if he is truly someone who respects the federalist system -- again, we're talking about ideological issues. donald trump clea

these are actions he can do unilaterally to show a change in the course of direction. we heard from the speaker of the house in congress he'll be invited to speak to the legislature in february. >> we a cocktail, happy hour reception, kind of a charm offensive. a little bit different than what we've seen for the past eight years. how important is that for the continue to do, this outreach on capitol hill? >> it's very important. these leaders have to get to know the president and more importantly the president has to get to know them. it's got to be a working relationship, adversarial at times for sure but the president has to put down some markers and then he also has to invite them to the table. this is a transactional president, more than an idea log or a politician. if you're at the table, you're going to be able to be heard but if you're not there, you're not going to be considered. if democrats are smart, follow what the unions did, listen to m, and if you can reach out your hand, let's do it. it's better for them and better for america. >> we're watching on our

with the republicans in congress and instead, relied mostly on executive orders and actions and discussion to unilaterally dictate federal law. now the donald trump won, he's realizing his legacy could all be gone by the stroke of a pen as soon as donald trump takes office. take a look at the major obama executive branch policies that trump can overturn. immigration, easily can undo childhood arrivals executive order which basically granted amnesty to over 1 million illegal aliens. he can catch and release that policy that looks criminal illegal aliens roam free. sanctuary cities. now president trump can push back on states and cities that refuse to cooperate and enforce federal law. refugees, president trump can stop thousands of people from countries with ties to terror from ever entering the country. the iranian nuclear deal, he didn't go to the senate, the trump administration can take steps to get out of that agreement with the number one state sponsor of terrorism. climate change regulations like the epa's clean power plan and the paris claimant agreement can easily go bye-bye. then you go over to c

way in a discussion that between two parties, that anyone can just find one party unilaterally to one course of action the other parties are saying. should plant have a say in what type of brexit happens? the prime minister has said at the end of this process that there will be about, they will also be extensive debate on the great repeal act, the great repeal bill which will look at the whole body of european law, to say parliament isn't involved in this process i think is not quite right, parliament is very much involved. but it's because it's a two—way process that some of the claims made by the prime minister in her speech last week need to be tested. the bar she has set herself is that she can negotiate outside the european union, the same level of access for out union, the same level of access for our goods and services, notjust about tariffs but common standards and the rights of access, outside, that we currently enjoy inside. it's perfectly legitimate for mps to press her on how she's going to do that and critique her she fails to do that. you will boat personally to trigger article 50? i res

action. the question is are you willing to act unilaterally?re almost back to the big question of the early bush years about preemption. are you willing to risk a very bloody conflict, one in which you could easily lose soul, becausebecause it is only 40 or0 miles from the north korean border and the north craend could attack it with conventional weapons easy leap. are you order to put that at risk in order to stop the hypothetical that north korea would launch a nuclear weapon at you? >> rose: the french actress lapierre is wrapping up a very impressive year. he starred in two films in 2016 that have earned her remarkable acclaim. one is called "things to come" the other "elle." >> they all have so multiple layers, and none choose to be nice-- not nice. not necessarily likable persons, nor are they unlikable persons. the situations are sometimes likable, sometimes not likable. and that's what makes the individual the product of situations, whether it is historical, political, sociological? and i was, also, privileged to work with people who wa

in a dramatic move, the president would sign an executive order, acting unilaterally and cutting out congress. >> there are actions i have the legal authority to take as president. tonight, i am announcing those actions. >> he's going to go forward "with or without congress," that's his phrase, "with or without congress." he's given up, he's given up. >> thank you, god bless you, and god bless this country we love. >> narrator: immigration was only one of the president's executive actions. he also moved on climate change... >> president obama signed a landmark climate change deal on his final trip to china today... >> narrator: ...gun control... >> executive action on gun control... >> narrator: ...worker pay... >> president obama announced a sweeping change to the country's overtime rules... >> narrator: ...and the environment. >> president obama says the keystone xl pipeline project is dead. >> no to keystone. >> this creates, like, this sort of next big war between the republican party and obama. that is, that obama has, is no longer listening to congress. he's ignoring the will of congress, and that he's becom

what he also knows has already taken action, to reduce the changes experienced by women and putting extra money into that. >> will the prime minister consider unilaterally guaranteeing the right of eu citizens living and working in the uk. by taking the moral high ground for the strength going forward in negotiations could always return to the issue of reciprocation by the eu which is necessary, major in those negotiations. >> the concern my honorable friend has raised with this issue but my position remains the same. i expect and intend to guarantee the rights of those living here in the united kingdom but as the british prime minister it is only right to give consideration to provide the case system living elsewhere and what would be the remaining 27 member states of the eu and that is the arrangement. as i said in my speech last week i remain open to this be an issue we negotiated at an early stage in negotiations is a good number of other europeans want that too. we are doing this at an early stage. >> doctor lisa cameron. >> thank you, mister speaker. as char of the parliament for disability, we have an important report into the government's employ

there will be some sort of executive actions of president trump of the early days of his administration potentially using the power that the president has to unilaterallyve tariffs on certain good. certainly during the campaign, trump was specific on china and the possible of fix on jobs. i also spoke to a policy expert here in china, a chinese expert inside some of those meetings ahead of the inauguration, there is a real concern here in china that president trump could spark a trade war, something that the chinese's economy and politicians certainly would not want. >> robin >> how a? >> he's talking about concerns of executive orders, is what they are focused on and that maybe the trump administration and more importantly what will be the chinese's response, retaliations perhaps? >> certainly, if they are raising tariffs of negotiations happening will be that china will retaliate against the u.s. and many economists of any kind of escalating war will be bad for the u.s. and chinese economy but also for the global economy. there is another option that president trump warns that they maybe raise tariffs. that's something that chinese experts or a chine
