The president says the order is straightforward only common sense. Yarn have to be a lawyer. If you are a good student in high school or a bad student in high school you could understand this. Lou we will discuss the appeals process, the fate of the order and americas leftist judiciary with attorneys Josh Blackmon and david rifkin. Another big win for our economy. We haveeen working on it for several years. Lou and tell us a corporate friend of President Trump sunamerica but there are corporate detractors as well. We will call a few of them out here tonight. Good evening everybody, we begin tonight with breaking news out of iran ready u. S. Official telling fox news iran has launched a shortrange surfacetoair missile just about 12 hours ago. The missile launched from iran the same launch pad where iran conducted a Ballistic Missile test on january 29. Fox news is told the missile hit 35 miles away. This latest launch as i said coming about 12 hours ago comes on the same day a new report says the Trump Administration is now considering new executive actions to designate irans revolutionary guard and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. White House Press Secretary sean spicer was specifically asked about the Muslim Brotherhood during todays white house briefing. There is no one i can question the president s commitment to fully attacking and addressing the threat we face by radical islamic terrorists. He has made it very clear on the campaign in the first step is understanding knowing and proclaiming to the enemy is and hes going to do whatever it takes. That being said im not going to get ahead of any announcements we may or may not have coming in the future but make no mistake the person understands the threat that our nation faces and hes doing everything he can to attack it, rooted out and strike lou the governments of egypt saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates already designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The revolutionarguard is irs elite illitate unit and reports directly to Supreme Leader ayatollah. U. S. Officials estimate irans revolutionary guards and controls half of irans economy so declaring the revolutionary guard to be a terrorist organization would have a Significant Impact on both iran and its trading partners. New concerns tonight as u. S. Officials tell fox news that russia has delivered its largest shipment to date of missiles to syria, 50 surface to surface missiles with a range of about 100 isles delivered to the syrian port live in the past two days. U. S. Officials also tell fox this delivery could change the stakes in the middle east and perhaps u. S. Strategy as well. An update on some breaking news that we are following. The senate right now is voting to confirm senator Jeff Sessions as attorney general. That vote is expected to run 20 to 30 minutes. We will be updating you when session sessums has a final vote and is expected is finally and officially confirmed as attorney attorney general. We will be going to that live and we are watching it very carefully. Joining me to discuss all of this and the white house consideration of labeling irans revolutionary guard in the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist groups former ambassador to the United Nations Fox News Contributor ambassador john bolton. John its great to have you with us. Lets begin with first the vote that is underway now for senator Jeff Sessions held in such high regard within the Republican Party and being attacked mercilessly and many suggest capriciously by the left in this country. Your thoughts about his prospects of confirmation. Im delighted and i hope he gets a substantial number of democratic votes. Im sure he will. He deserves them. I was with him in 1986 when he went through really the character assassination by democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee on the occasion of the nomination of the District Court. He is a decent honest man and he will be a great attorney general. I hope this does wrap up and it will be cause for celebration. Lou turning to the Muslim Brotherhood the Iranian Revolutionary guard that would be quite some step on the part of this administration for the first time for the United States to designate both as terrorist organizations. Absolutely. Im having trouble processing all this happiness with thousands sessions. The revolutionary guard should have been put on the list years ago. They are the vehicle that funds and arms many terrorist groups including hamas, hezbollah. They are the people who put together explosively formed project tiles that were used against american troops in iraq when we still have substantial forces there and i think it would be a crippling move against the revolutionary guard. The Muslim Brotherhood as you pointed out and a number of muslim countries are to describe them as terrorists. They are different group, the smiling face of terrorism in western europe and the United States. There are some people who are part of the brotherhood who are not terrorists themselves. Vladimir lenin described them as useful idiots. They provide cover for the real terrorist activities so if these designations happen if a very significant step. Lou and it will have implications as well toward c. A. R. E. And other organizations in this country who embrace the Muslim Brotherhood. Right and i think its a recognition. We saw during the campaign and its now working its way through the governmental process to identify the threat of terrorism is an ideological threat. Its not an isolated incident lone wolves are homegrown terrorists were just people who are economically dissatisfied and give them a job and theyd be okay with this ideological threat. Its a wet ideological threat within islam and jordan calling it a civil war within islam so getting up United States on board in that conflict and clearly labeling these groups for what they are, terrorist threats is a significant step forward. It will have legal implications in this country and in western europe as well. Lou within the last 12 hours iran firing another missile, a shortrange missile surface to surface missile but nonetheless plotting if you will its position in the region and the notice given by the trump white house. Your reaction and what do you think should be the u. S. Response . Well i think one response would be to designate the revolutionary guard Corps Organization that i think there is no doubt that iran is testing the new administration. I do think they understand this is not barack obama but they still want to see how far they can go. The russians are doing the same thing. They report that you mentioned about russian missiles coming in to syria at the Russian Naval facility they are all seeing what they can get so the Trump Administration responds to eliminating its differences with the Obama Administration that are very important here. I think its critical that the response be clear and unambiguous and tough because this will establishhis administration that will allow the United States to be taken advantage of. Not by iran and not by russia and not by anybody else. Lou in the National Security concerns and vulnerabilities to the United States right now exacerbated the coast the Democratic Party in which the president is not being given his nominees to cabinet posts well behind what historically has been given and a new president complicating what is already a very complex world. Ambassador thanks for being with us as always in sorting it out for us. We appreciate it. Thank you lou glad to do it. Lou we are coming right back much more here tonight. Stay with us. The white house has made it clear to the judiciary the president wants his executive order in order to protect all americans. What we may not face an imminent threat today we dont know when the next that comes. The American People understand that hes doing everything he can to protect them. Lou the dean of republican strategist ed rollins is our guest here next. A group of retailers going political dropping Ivanka Ivanka trumps clothing line from their stores. The president and her father not happy about that. Happy about that. We w w w w w at bp, we empower anyone to stop a job if something doesnt seem right, so everyone comes home safely.

Creating a future of more money going back into the pockets of more families. Welcome to taxes won. H r block with watson. Come see us and get your taxes won. Lou breaking news tonight Supreme Court nominee judge neil gorsuch has apparently criticized the man who appointed him to the Supreme Court. President trump of course for pointing neil gorsuch. Gorsuch in a closeddoor meeting with democratic senator Richard Blumenthal and this is what the senator says judge gorsuch told him. Certainly expressed to me that he is disheartened by the demoralizing and poor comments made by president ump about the judiciary. Lou a personal note if i may judge to you, judge im disheartened a man as smart as you would Say Something as as senator blumenthal says you said in front of him, and man know to be your ideological and highly partisan enemy. I am dismayed that you would allow yourself to be so disloyal to our president , the man who appointed you and to whom you when my judgment a personal and public apology. Thats just my opinion. Joining me now veteran and president ial campaign ed rollins. I swear to you, that swamp down there eats the people of their principles at their core. I share you opinion there and i have Great Respect for judge gorsuch and i think what he needs to understand is its not his job to comment on anybody. Basically they can share and explore his judicial philosophy not he will rule but he certainly shouldnt be making comments about anyone who serves under the president of United States. Lou even senator blumenthal has to think less of him tonight for what he did. Blumenthal wasnt going to vote for him anyway so im not sure id waste my time but thats all part of the process. Lou indication of judge gorsuch it is deeply troubling. Sea mate hes only been there three days. Lou he had better make the most of the rest of his days there. Senator Elizabeth Warren been silenced by majority leader mitch mcconnell. She is running for president , shes trying to fund raise and she is acting just irresponsibly with her discourtesy to senator sessions. The bottom line is senator sessions is a great man and will be confirmed a few minutes as attorney general. Lou 37 yes votes and 44 we are told as he approaches what we expect to be and certainly hope will be his confirmation tonight this is an extraordinary man. I was on the Selection Panel in the white house and he was not confirmed at that time by a lot of very savage things that turned out to be dishonest. He went back and got elected attorney general became a very effective attorney general and came back to the United States senate where he has been very respected by his colleagues. At the end of the day you know this is partisan politics. Its worse to attack a man for the kinds of things they are attacking saying hes a racist when he is a long courageous career of being a significant supporter of civil rights and representing a state very well. Lou the ninth Circuit Court of appeals, we listen to it last night and we are going to be talking to a number of highly respected guest on the broadcast but i want your opinion with all that you have seen and experienced. I listened a short while to the arguments last night. I was dismayed at the Justice Department attorney and the way in which he appeared both unprepared and frankly not very animated before those judges that i was dismayed by the three judges because to a person they did not seem to have exact weight the constitution next to their chest and instead are talking nonsense, at least two of them. Dont forget those two are devoted on this issue. Lou i couldnt forget. They threw a republican in the mix to make it 21. My sense the only positive thing out of this is the president has the opportunity over the last couple of days to explain to the American Public he did this and yet the power to do this and they did this because theres a timeframe that had to take place here to reexamine the vetting process and in the meantime one of these people got into this process at this point in time and certainly the other side is trying to push people through the process. That would be a terrible part on this so i think hes fighting hard and i think its going to gain Great Respect and at the end of the day he will win this whether its shortterm or longterm but in the short term term lou senator Jeff Sessions has just been confirmed by the u. S. Senate as our next attorney general. The vote at 51 as im relaying this to you 51 votes and that is a very important vote and a very important man to be in the role of attorney general in the Trump Administration. Also one of the first borders of President Trump and someone who guided very effectively a lot of policies early on and certainly told him all the stakes that have been going on for the last year and the Justice Department will. I think he will be a great leader of that department which needs a gray shakeup. Lou this is a man who has a senator i have known throughout his career to be a man who doesnt take shortcuts. He stands on his principles. He is not swayed by well, by politics or expediency at any point. They were markable man in my opinion. Ed rollins, great to have you here. Speaking of remarkable men. And theyre sure to vote in our poll tonight. Do you believe the fate of the nation now depend largely on how quickly President Trump can start moving conservative judges into what is a judicial system dominated by leftwing jurists .
