House where press Secretary Sean Spicer has wrapped up his Daily Briefing. Some calling it entertaining. Others might say it was a bit contentious. Reporter entertaining. One persons entertaining is another persons contentious. I think there was a lot of good information in the briefing there as well. And youre right, the decision that President Trump is going to make today on who the nominee will be to replace Justice Scalia on the u. S. Supreme court will be a big one that will affect the court for years because the two main candidates being looked at, tom has hardeman from the 3rd kreur kit court are 49 and 51 years old. They will be on this court most likely for a couple of decades, if not longer. Could be even three decades when you look at the age of justices on the Supreme Court right now. Sean spicer, during his briefing saying which ever nominee the president announces tonight, he believes they will get swift confirmation on capitol hill. Heres what spicer said. I can assure y

All whi lets get the latest m kevin corke. This relationship has seen more downs than ups lately, although youve heard many leaders over the past several years talking about the importance of trying to reestablish a relationship. Were talking about two countries that have frankly had their governments accuse the other of disruptive behavior and that is making things complicated as you point out as the secretary of state makes his way to moscow. The two diplomats meeting amid rising tensions. Each man says his side is committed to working towards a mutual understanding. Our meetings today come at an important moment in the relationship so that we can further clarify areas of common objectives, areas of common interest even when our tactical approaches may be different. We see some troubling actions regarding the attack on syria. We believe its important not to let these actions happen again in the future. Thats the voice of the translator for Sergey Lavrov.

Make no mistake about President Trump wanting American Forces out of afghanistan. Just how and when that might happen is still up for debate. That was a purpose of yesterdays important pivotal meeting here. A briefing given by u. S. Negotiators to the president. The president afterwards tweeted about it. He said this on social media. He talked about the conclusion of it. Just completed a very good meeting on afghanistan. Many on the opposite side of this 19 year war. Looking to make a deal if possible. After thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, a deal, that is a big f, key negotiators can agree on a withdrawal plan. Experts, as you pointed out, insist and all too quick exit would be a huge mistake especially when you consider the uncertainty of crafting a lasting deal with the taliban. I think the biggest risk for President Trump is that he would be downsizing the number of American Forces while the taliban has not actually done in response. We have not gone the tali
