at today s sessions hearing. the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus. major holes in tillerson s sanctuary. were we lobbying before or against? i m a germaphobe, believe me. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. there are just nine days until donald trump becomes president of the united states. today we were inundated with news, much of it disturbing, about what to expect when he takes office. in fact there was so much news today it is, frankly, impossible for us to fully cover what we saw and heard, which may well have been the point. we are going to aggressively cover the issues we have deemed most important and they are big ones. among them, the president-elect evoking nazi germany to characterize u.s. intelligence agencies, offering kind words to the russians who the intelligence community believe hacked the dnc and clinton campaign. trump s secretary of state pick exxonmobil ceo rex tillerson possibly ly ....
reporter: yeah, wolf. as you said. this is going to be a campaign-style rally here in phoenix. one of several the president has held since the inauguration. it s actually going to be the furthest west that donald trump has gone since becoming president, and we should expect some familiar faces on hand with him. the vice president, mike pence. his chief of staff, john kelly. it s also notable who is going to be absent from this rally. arizona s two republican senators. both john mccain and jeff flake, very critical of the president. both of them had very harsh words for him after his response to the violence in charlottesville at that press conference in trump tower one week ago. and the president didn t hesitates when responding to that criticism, specifically from jeff flake. he took to twitter last week saying that the arizona senator is weak and a non-factor in the senate. and praising his potential gop primary opponent dr. kelly ward. it s unclear whether or not dr. the ....

he s made comments about the assassination of journalists and he s joked, his administration says it was a joke about murdering somebody whether he he was younger. this is somebody who is not a traditional leader ally like you might see in other parts of the region. yet, the president and white house have talked about this friendly relationship between the two. i think you saw that here in manila. the two toasting. at one point duterte singing a love song in honor of the president, getting up on stage and delivering this duet with lyrics like you are the light of my life, the half of my heart. so clearly the two of them working on this relationship. the president seeming to hope the good chemistry leads to good policy. again, questions on why no mention of human rights abuses here. that is similar to what we saw from president trump in china, for example, and on past overseas trips. i m thinking of the one, for example, over to saudi earlier in the year. back in may. the white hou ....
