The bill air businesswoman hasbi been criticized for her perceived lack of knowledgef about public education. President trump is expected to announce his choice to fill thee vacant seat on the us Supreme Court. The front r such and thomas hard man. He said he had a list of 20 judges or so and now well see if it comes down to what the reports lead you to believe. Jeff letterer letter is on skype. Jason up on skype. Did i get that right. Ght. You did. We have the two names floating around for the Supreme Court, any surprise there. Se you never know, its donald trump. There could be a head fake going on with these two. Wo. However, i do hear many conservatives, many conservative groups confirming that its for sippy think thats because they really want him to be the nominee and he very well couldwl be the appointment that donaldpn trump seeks. Tm theres a lot of good reasons for both of these picks. Ks. Chief among them really just start at the very beginning isg their age. Theyre some of the youngest ones put up for quite sometime and that meansns that they will be there for many, many years to come, many decades to come. Let me let you jump in there and comment. What do you think about these two. I think one thing we can all agree on is that by partisanpart cooperation is out the door with this administration, with thiss congress and with these participants. That may not lead to a supremeue court pick that we all agree on, but its certainly not going to solve the problem of bipartisan government that the American Voters should expect. Xp well, lets talk about that because it kind of works both ways here. Re we as some deps, jeff americalyr threatening that theyre going to filibuster or block the nominee of President Trump as they said they werent going to about president obamas. Obam today i dont recall a lot obstructionism, during presiden obamas by republicans at thatui interest post office. Inte the democrats arere adamant that they dont want some of these nominees. No well, theres certainly been a statement by President Trump and by other republicans that there has been a lack of cooperation between the democrats and the republicans, all of which i agree with. And that is continuingcont dramatically in the first tenirt days of the trump presidency. Jason. On. Thats absolutely false. Cant even say that with ait straight face. St whats going on here are thethe democrats are acting like a purple faced toddler flailing his arms. S ar ive never seen anything quiteyi like this. This weve never really had anythingy like this. When you look at the confirmations that the senateat has t done for the last 40 year of presidencies, donald trump has the least and mainly this ih because of obstructionist walls at every corner, at every turn of the proper process certainly not for a lack of donald trump trying tt pass initiatives, put people up for nominations. The acting attorney general exactly what she deserved. Eser start with Richard Nixon as president. So the fact that she was an obama holdover is not a partisan issue. I dont think its just the fact that she was a holdover, it is that did not up hold what the president ordered her to do. Thats absolutely right. Ig there was nothing she did not have any legal basis for her resistance to President Trumps we cant hear youear when youre both talking at thet same time. Jason let me finish your thought and then jeff we can hear from you. Sure, it wasnt type of a legal argument whichwc would be in her job description. All it was was her not really believing personally or on any kind of quote, unquote moralquot grounds that she wanted to up hold the president executive order. In position or in any other a position that would be grounds for firing and thats exactly what happened. Happ jeff, well let you finish. Go ahead. I think attorney general affiliates was wrong when she focused on the policy and notnd the law. But its an understandable humanerror of judgment. The quick roleout by the Trump Administration is also a human frailty and until we get to theo point where were all willing to give each other the benefit ofbe the doubt were not going to lnt on the peoples problems. Gotcha. All right. Well leave letter letter and jason kelly, thank you for joining usus tonight. A good scussion there. Thank you. Disyou. Theres a lotto owe i want tot point something out to dan a been take you also appointed by president obama in his positiont as us attorney. We should point that as well. El. Theres a lot of confusion over the execution of the immigration order. Tonight we have a little bit bit better idea of how security plans to carrie it out. Tom fitzgerald joins us with the latest on this. Good evening, shawn, good evening jim. What this is about is this 72 hour story thats been going on about the secretary of the department of Homeland Security, the story being was that retired general john kelly was somehow either forced out, blocked out, frozen out from this policy making, executive order that went into effect on friday. Frid now three days have passed since this thing was signed. Today was the first time we kelly himself and what he told us today was a very differentife version of this narrative that has been going around town since friday. Now, contrary to all these media stories, general kelly says that number one, not only was he not caught off guard by this executive order, but that Homeland Security staffers notae only helped write this, but that he himself saw two drafts of this first on wednesday and then learned on thursday that it was going to be signed on friday. The general says the bottom line in all this, if people are out there saying that he somehow was somehow not involved in any of this, listen to how he put this. He says, that was not the case. We did know the eo was coming. Mg we had people involved in the general drafting of it. You know, clearly it was this whole approach was part of what about for a year ortud two. Two. So we knew all that was coming. Another point about this. Shawn and jim, you know how youve heard over and over again, the critics of this havee called it a refugee ban. Right. It an immigrationigra ban. We got some numbers today. I it turns out the actual numbers from customs and Border Protection in the department oft Homeland Security, there havehee been hundreds of refugees fromeg these seven countries that havea come in and part of this is on the white house because they put out a statement that only 109 got in yesterday. It turns out that was not only wrong, it was way off. Off. The numbers we got today, 872 rev geez have been allow in under the individual waivers. These numbers are going to up as es Homeland Security said theyre going to update this. Typically have Media Conference every Conference Calls to plane this. None of that. Ha as theyve been roling this out, as theyve been roling this outs they didnt do any of this. This they should have done it because a the mr. Of the misinformation is out there is on their ownwn house right now because theyey didnt explain this thing before they roled it out on friday. A lot of the people in thiss building didnt know how this was going out. They admitted today that thethat communication on this has been terrible. Not only to the public, butubl inner agency as well. And also to these airlines. Somehese of of these people hado work on getting flights. They are three days into thisths better than they were on friday. But they still admit today theyy have a long way to go. Chalk it up to theres a learning curve here. Theyre all new at this. The white house we he m controversialette executivexecu action on immigration. They may issue new guidance that would soften changes to the president s executive order charley queue mar, you support the immigration ban, tell us why. That is correct. The number one responsibility or the president of the country isy to protect the lives of his citizens. The first time we have a president who is following what he actually said in the campaign, that we need to dodo extreme vetting. We should not allow rev geez, even though hes allowing some from syria because our enemy has openly declared that they are going to infiltrate refugees ane send the terrorists in the guys of the rev geez. So to me its pretty obvious, Pretty Simple that the number one job for the president of the country is of his citizens. Critics will say if that was the number one job and thats what the president wanted to do thish would have included pakistan, afghanistan and saudi arabia. I agree with that. I think these seven countries got picked from a time before where obama had also selectedl these seven countries. We are of the opinion, republicans in the coalition isa definitely of the opinion that i both countries i arabia and afghanistan and pakistan shouldt be included in that list. T one of the items that a lot ofof people who oppose this are,are, theyre going back to the whole idea that there is a test for, a litmus test for religion when it comes time to activating thehe Refugee Program and testing people who are religious minorities in these countriesoun which would be anybody but muslims. This is a religious issue here . E its not a really a war issue. They have declared a war issue on us. Its pretty obvious if you have a christian there in those countries and you are a victim of terrorism using that logic if you were a pieceful muslim in those countries and youre alsoo dealing with the same hardships there, shouldnt you be given gv consideration as well . Well, i mean take it case by case theyhy are probably having resolutions case by case as well. Overall these are seven countries where, except for oner i guess iran that has decared a war on the United States and israel. That country in itself is thatt way. But the rest of the countries are pretty much without government. Theres so much law less in in those countries so it is really not effective functioning government and how could youyou expect any of those to do anyto kind vetting, which our president hich wants to do. All right, kelly queue mar w, appreciate you coming on kel ann sharing your thoughts. Ur thank you very much. Thank you. Thank lets talk a little bit morelk a about the the forecast. Another pretty warm day outday there for the last day of january. She cant help but notice Tom Fitzgerald in his live shot had gloves on. He wears those all the time, though. It is a little bit breezy. I would say that, jim and shawn much as the sun goes down and even though we may still be in the 40s and 350s. Hes a hand model. El. Does he know that because itt think that would please him greatly. We had a mild day, but the b wind is picking up a little bit and these nights still are chilly. Were going to head down to the 30s that is for sure. We did top out at 56 after starting the morning in the 20s with some light snow across theo northern suburbs that did not cause any problems. Bwi52 and its more typical ofil what we might see around here ia the middle of march. So its been a pretty easy month to deal with only 1. 4 inches of1. 4 snow at Reagan National so far. Im not sure whats up with the gloves with tomorrow, but youre right. Id be wearing gloves if i wenti out right now, too. Too. Heres a look at tomorrow, more clouds around, but not as coldas of a start. Well have 46degrees by the noon hour. By 4 00, around 50degrees some places may top out in the 60s. Not as sunny or as warm as todaa was. Well send it back over tok jim and shawn. We know that President Trump is a businessman and hes also tell you that hes a who he man and hes building up anticipation as he tells us his pick for the Supreme Court. Well tell you everything you need to know about those nominees when we come right back new year, time to get rid of stuff. Simplify, declutter, unplug, purge, or even quit cold turkey. I raise turkeys without growthpromoting antibiotics, hormones, or steroids. If youre looking for little ways to simplify life, feeling good about what your family eats is a Pretty Simple place to start. My name is tammy plumlee, and i raise honest, simple turkey for shady brook farms. Less than two hours we know thc president s pick for the us Supreme Court. Sources have confirmed the two finalists are judge for such anh judge thomas hard man of the Third Circuit in philadelphia. Foxs ronica cleary outside theo Supreme Court with more on thisi one. Reporter we have an idea, of of the two finalists they seem to be rumored as what thethe president had selected and thend on monday, just yesterday, the president spoke about the fact that he said he knew who he was going to pick. He told us just a little bitjust about that person, whoever it may be. Take a listen to what he said. We have a big decision that i may have made, a very big decision on the United Statesd Supreme Court that is going togn be announced tomorrow night fror the white house at a person who is unbelievable highly respected and i think you will be very impressed with this person. Not telling us too much, but certainly saying the person is credible and venerable. Vene lets take a look at the two names you mentioned a little bit earlier. These two federal appeals courte judges who have been reportedly the final two in the selection process. The first judge kneel for such,e to tell you a little bit his crucial. He has ruled in favor ofor companies objecting to religious grounds of obama mandates to provide female contraception. A controversial ruling from fairly recently back. And then judge thomas hard man he has supported gun ownership rights. He serves alongside president trims sister, judge mariondge trump barry. Theres no surprise that th issues like gun rights, supporting those churches and organizationings that have religious objections to things like obamacare mandates. Of course the democrats are saying this is not going to bee an easy process, really responding to what the republicans made a quiteuite difficult, after nominating mere it garland theyre sayingthey theyre going to fill busterbust whoever President Trump names tonight p if its in the going to be meric garland. Garl that seems unlikely. Thank you very much. An its going tok be interesting o see. What is interesting about those two gentlemen, theyre both relatively young. P one of them is indeed confirmed they could be on thed Supreme Court for quite a long time. Donald trumps sisters mariop trumps barry, federal courturt judges are forbidding from politicking.
