Secretary of defense here tonight. We know last week he made a Surprise Announcement at his first thank you rally saying yes hes indeed choosing general james mattis for defense secretary. But the fact that two will be up on stage together, certainly notable, especially given that is the military friendly town. So donald trump hoping to cash in on the energy here almost to validate his pick for Secretary Of Defense. And we know trump has many thank you tours and rallies ahead. Just two this week alone and thursday hell be in iowa and friday in michigan. You heard him taking credit for what he said is a 50 billion investment by softbank. What are you learning about this . Reporter i have to say not a lot of detail coming from the Trump Transition Team or the company tonight. But certainly a little
showmanship on the part of the president elect today really trotting out on the ceo of the company and trump towers there before cameras gathered. Contours of the deal are 50 billion investmen
Reporter no other gun man is found. At this point it looked like he acted alone. Reporter officials wont say if the suspect was targeting someone on an arriving flight or if hes cooperating. Randi kaye, cnn, new york. Lets get much more on this. I want to bring in jeffrey thomas, an aviation perspective, joining us from skype. Great to have you on the program. We want to talk about Airport Security to start off with. Should we be alarmed that this individual was able to check in a firearm when hed already flagged himself up to authorities . Absolutely. It is a troubling background to this gentleman from what has been reported to us. The fact that he had some problems apparently, allegedly, and then indeed checked this
firearm with his checked baggage which of course is allowed in certain states of the United States. And that was nothing illegal this doing that. However of course what transpired of course was a terrible tragedy. But the problem weve got here is that although some cases
Then President Obama had seven new cabinet level officials confirmed. Trump only as of right now has two. Do you think that youre going to be able to stop some of his nominees, or are you just trying to slow down the process . Well, let me say this. First, this cabinet is unusually unique and a lot different than others. We call it the swamp cabinet, billionaires and bankers. The number of wealthy people, the number of people rife with Conflicts Of Interest and the number of people who have disagreed with what trump has campaigned on is so much more than just any other cabinet weve seen, and so that means they need thorough review. Thorough review so they dont have Conflicts Of Interest, thorough reviews so we know, for instance, is dr. Price going to try to privatize or end medicare when trump campaigned against it . And and are republican colleagues, i dont blame them with this cabinet, have tried to rush it through. Advise and consent does not mean
very easily be confirmed who have
Election, havent provided anything to lead me to believe or should lead you to believe, and i continue to see reports coming from Media Sources saying when they checked in with Law Enforcement or Intelligence Community sources. Theres nothing more than has been previously reported over and over again. So at some point you do have to ask yourself what are you actually looking for . How many times do you have to come to the same conclusion before you take the answer . Thats what im saying. Mara . Just to followup, did you personally reach out im not going to say what we discussed internally. We did our job about making sure that when people had reporters had questions, we let them know what subject Matter Experts were available to discuss the accuracy of a newspaper story. Mara . Im sure people will come back to the budget question, which is during the campaign, the president said he was not going to touch medicare, social security. Treasury secretary repeated that. Sounds like the direc
I wont sugar coat this, this is a disappointing day for us. Democrats are declaring victory. Today is a great day for our country. Its a victory. Tonight, senator Bernie Sanders on how it fell apart after seven years of promising repeal. Real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. [ cheers and applause ] and where we go from here with Michael Moore. I think we have to let obamacare go its way for a while. And another escalation in the devin nunes debacle when all in starts right now. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated. Good evening from los angeles, im chris hayes. Obamacare is alive and trumpcare is dead. And the Republican Party with control of the white house and majorities in both the senate and House Of Representatives is reeling tonight after failing to
achieve what has been their single biggest goal for the past seven years and the numberone agenda item of Donald Trumps presidency. Minutes before it was due for a vote
