new senate democratic leader chuck schumer doesn't want to lose his most liberal senators. here is schumer's explanation. >> let me talk about the cabinet. it is a cabinet unlike any other we've seen on two bases. we call it the swamp cabinet. billionaires and bankers. and it's very simple. there are more people with huge financial holdings which they have to divest under law so they don't have conflicts of interest. >> while burning the clock it keeps the senate from doing other things. other indications mike pompeo will be confirmed to be the next c.i.a. director and we expect that vote for tillerson in the foreign relations committee. >> bill: we'll wait for that. >> shannon: joining us now for more on that and other things steve hayes is a fox news contributor. good to see you, steve. you have an incredible back story you've written about
