So what the in the world does that mean . Lets get to it. There is breaking news on three americans this hour. First to the senate where leaders have just voted to confirm President Trumps secretary of state nominee, Rex Tillerson. That is a live look on the floor now. Tillerson will enter the state department facing a full plate of Foreign Policy issues including iran. Also breaking in the last few minutes, the Trump Administration issuing that warning to iran over their recent missile tests and what the administration claims are other actions against the United States and our allies. The warning minutes ago from the president Trumps National security advisor, the retired general, Michael Flynn. Iran continues to threaten u. S. Friends and allies in the region. The Obama Administration failed to respond adequately to tehrans malign actions, including weapons transfers, support for terrorism and other violations of international norms. The Trump Administration condemns such actions tha
Democratic party have any credibility left . Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Bill hi, i am bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. President trumps speech to congress, that is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. Th it was well received, 78 ofof those watching the speech felt it was positive, just 21 , negative, according to a cnn snap poll. Also, when asked if the president made you feel more optimistic or pessimistic, 69 said optimistic, just 28 pessimistic. Now, snap polls like that are based mostly on emotion, and the sample was 33 republican, 28 democrat, 39 independent. But there is no question that fairminded people came away from the speech impressed t at least most of them. Of course, that didnt stop the antitrump brigade. It will be a notable thing that the president spent a big portion of what was, in effect, a state of the union trying to tell the country what vicious, murdering criminals immigrants are. Ri h
Work. We have no choice but to make the plan better for all americans out there.

Have been too quick to characterize mr. Bushs comments come as a personal slight to the new presidency. Here are some of those comments. Did you ever consider consider the media to be the enemy of the American People . [laughs] i considered the media to be indispensable to democracy. We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. I mean, power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive. It is important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere. By banning people from seven predominantly muslim countries from entering this country, do we make it easier or harder to fight the war on terrorism . Well, i think it is very hard to fight the war on terrorism if we are in retreat. I think we learned that listen, if the United States decides to pull out before a free society emerges, it is going to be hard to defeat them. I want to make sure you understand, argue for or against the ban . I am for an immigration policy that
Clarity on how the government plans to treat imports and exports through tax policy. Look, investors like the rest of america seem to be focused on tone here, not substance and the market may see a president who may be willing to compromise on some issues.

Fundamentally, though, im talking to people every day who are in and out of the market who are nervous that stocks are just too expensive. But their voices are not very loud right now. The bulls are winning the day. Wel
