kiersten, did you want to add anything to that? >> always. thank you very much. and thanks very much for the opportunity to be here and for this conversation. so you asked a lot of great questions, and there are a lot of different ways to look at it. i'll take two pieces to this because you talk about critical infrastructure. one of the key issues that the commission looked at was how do we define critical infrastructure? and the challenge that we have now in an interdepend world, and particularly in the internet of things is how we all rely on each other. so when we define critical infrastructure as it's been defined over the years, it very much has the boundaries around it. scott knows this better than most given the industry he's in. we talked a lot about how technology and innovation can start to blur those lines, and some of you have heard the analogy i used from one of the commissioners who talked about a goal of uber timing the traffic lights in san francisco because they can saturate the roads, but the last thing he wants to be classified is as critical i

kiersten, do you think that's right that he's trading up? even though he's trading up, he's still talking about north korea, going to war, he's still tweeting about things. there is still all this chaos, and so, i don't know -- >> i don't know. i think maybe that's true, but it doesn't seem to have affected his behavior that much. look, we've watched him fighting with nfl players for the last few weeks. so, this is not somebody who necessarily has changed the way that he's doing things regardless of who is around him. and, you know, i don't understand tom barrack's relationship with him because he seems like a pretty reasonable person. >> he is actually. >> when he talks about the president, i don't quite know what he's talking about. you know, he was saying that he -- he's just doing such a terrific job and such a great job. i'm curious to know what he thinks that the president is doing so well. because i think most people, you know, who are political observers and even people who don't -- who want to see president trump succeed feel that p

and madam secretary kiersten yelkin. she is the latest in a number of women that president trump has elevated, gave women a chance in new york real estate when no man would. in his corporation. his campaign, his white house and cabinet. such a juxtaposition to think about what the two parties are dealing with. this is a president who says when i'm going to empower women, how am i going to do that? he signs an executive order that helps. they have no health insurance, it's huge. he is out there with truckers and others in pennsylvania promising them middle-class taxt that's the way you empower women. you help them when you are in a position to do that. these people in hollywood failed. this president is succeeding. >> sean: last night before the president arrived for the interview, i can't let you go without an important political question -- i went through the crowd. you might argue this is a pro-president crowd because they were there, i asked about the president. they love the president. and i asked about the republica

football in the bundesliga tonight show take on minds and hope to jump into the top for the girls and kiersten side how they typically inconsistent starts the season but there are notable signs of improvement for the sporting director the home game with months is particularly important. shouted coach dominica to desk and sporting director christine heigl a feeling upbeat before the match with titles explode minds' title move from eyes to shout to last year but his first season was a flop with shock of failing to reach europe this term things may be looking up if last weekend's to no will it has a bilin becomes the norm shelter in good form as they look to down heigl's old side . certifiably have an acquittal it always feels weird even if personally i wanted nothing else than a shell to win even if it is against mines of course i wish mine's all the best but only shell can say it's a shocker hydel took a risk in appointing thirty two year old to disco as coach for the season to discord only coached eleven games in the german second division with the hour before getting the call but another win

challenger kelly ward and behind the leading democratic challenger congresswoman kiersten cinema ever since that august poll i think people have been expecting him to bow out of a reelection so the polling numbers you think really had something to do with it it's just not the toxic environment that he was talking about politically i think that the polling kind of helped to reinforce his concern about the challenges that faced him and whether or not facing the president and a constituency in arizona that loves president trump facing them and possibly going down in flames i didn't think i just he didn't want to experience that so how much is president trump in your opinion responsible for this climate that jeff flake was talking about today in arizona. well i think nationally. this climate has been evolving for the last couple of decades particularly as people with money have been empowered more and more through the supreme court decisions that you know money equals speech but i'll tell you here in arizona specifically i can tell through experience it has been here for decades and then

. ♪ my name is kiersten and i live in los angeles, california, with my husband and my 12-year-old son and my 8-year-old daughter. i left my job to stay home with my kids, and then my husband lost his job, and so we desperately needed something to help pay the bills.

one of the relationships i cherished the most was senator houston gillibrand of new york -- senator kiersten gillibrand of new york. we do have very different -- policy ideas on probably 95% of the issues out 5%re, if you can find that of the policies and issues you want to work on together, then we work on those issues. if we share those passions, why not? when we are outside of the senate, we don't talk politics, we talk about our family. i value that. army background and served in iraq driving supply convoys. tell us about that. were there hair-raising moments? >> there were a few. this was the beginning of the war, the early part of iraqi freedom one. wen we got into country, were permanently stationed in kuwait at cap marathon. what we did was pick up supplies from the ports and warehouses and we would push as far north as baghdad international airport and log-based sites. we would pick up those supplies and deliver them forward or the warriors upfront. there were some issues that we had a long way. whend not been in country -- that long when we got our first mission to drive supplies i

. >> i don't know, kiersten, sometimes it sounds like all of hollywood was silent, and this was an open secret in hollywood, and i don't know if people knew about the rape accusations, although rose mcgowan is saying they did, and everybody turned a blind eye to what he was doing and that seems obvious. >> the question is what did they know? you have people like george clooney saying yes, he was a dog, saying maybe he cheated on his wife and didn't know that he was sexually assaulting people or raping people, obviously. and then you have people like jane fonda who came out and said she did know hae was doing this and found out about a year ago and regrets not saying something. there's the question why people don't say anything, and she said in that case it was because it didn't happen to her, and she didn't feel it was her story to tell. i think that people are afraid to take on really powerful people. that's often what it comes down to. what power do these people actually have over harvey weinstein. the people that have the power are his board, and the people that knew he had settlemen

she played a starring role in some of the reports that criticized the government for their response, kiersten has been nominated by president trump to run the department of homeland security, which is a $40 billion bug, 240,000 employees and it encompasses 26 agencies, including fema. if confirmed, she will take charge of homeland security department and fema and automatic rest of it. at a time that already feels like de ja vu. this was gabe gutierrez reporting nor nbc nightly news. >> this helmet camera shows the urgent mission the military in remote parts of puerto rico, children waiting for water. now people are getting so desperate, people say they are breaking into sealed off wells on the u.s. superfund list, sites so polluted the government considers their cleanup a priority, even though there is a clearly mark danger sign, people are willing to risk it, ripping off this fence. this man from chicago comes here at night to find water. >> we're drone wered in sweat, we need to cool off some kind of way, there is no electricity. >> reporter: luis ortiz is filling up a well the e deemed as

. >>> kiersten. >> i think people are quick to assume that everything george bush was saying was about donald trump. i don't think that was probably the case. you would know better. you played the clips he was talking about. another thing he said, too often we judge others by their worst examples when we judge ourselves by our best examples. and, you know, i think we're all guilty of doing that. and i think he is talking about the discourse that we have in this country that it's donald trump isn't the only one who's guilty of demonizing, as president obama said, people demonizing their opponents and that things really seem to have devolved. since he's president, he's playing a big role in that. he's not setting a good standard. it's something that's infiltrated all parts of political discourse. >> i was interested in the way bush focused on nativism. this is something i think we all recognize ed during the 2016 election. there's no signs of it stopping. but it needs a better name for what donald trump is doing. in his speech at the heritage foundation this week i saw him frame the issu

last thursday, i probably nominated kiersten nielsen to serve a secretary department of homeland security. i urged the senate to quickly confirm this tremendously qualified nominee, and i also asked for my other nominees did he have approximately half the number of nominees confirmed by the senate. the democrats have terrible policy, terrible, and very good at obstruction. the one thing they do well, the policy is no good and i'm not even sure they're very good politicians because they don't seem to be doing too well. that could be because of their bad policy. but they are great at obstruction, and we have half the nominees that president obama had at this time. it's very unfair. they are taking everybody right after the final moment. in many cases, confirming that with tremendous majorities. but they are bringing them out purposely. they are bringing them right down to the final. we have people that are totally qualified that are going to pass that are going to have to wait a long time because it's total obstruction. i can say the same thing with our judicial nominees, our judges. we hav

. >> kiersten? >> but they were communicating with the mercers who were the biggest supporters of trump. the idea this is some rogue group of people that aren't somehow connected at least to people who are decade to electing donald trump. i also think, sort of to what josh is saying, they don't have to have been the biggest operation or the most influential. the point is they were there, they were somebody a reporter was brought in to meet. they clearly were part of the trump campaign. they don't have to have been super powerful or even good at their job. >> this entire discussion has been very in the weeds. we're not going to get to the facts of it on this panel tonight. now, the one who may get to the facts of it is bob mueller. the problem that the trump campaign and the trump administration now have is that this is another drip, drip, drip, another dot on the leopard when it comes to this ongoing investigation to colluding with russia. it is a story that despite attacks at a gold star family, de

i am going to be very proud to announce my nomination for the next secretary of homeland security, kiersten neilsen. i promised that my highest priority would be to secure america's home land. i pledged to protect our country from the many threats we face from all around the world to keep our people safe and secure at home, and to give our full support to the men and women of law enforcement. for the first six months of my administration, the department of homeland security was led by the great four-star general, john kelly. where is john kelly? stand up, john. a mean. marine. he's a proud marine. he's done a great job. secretary kelly led the department to make historic strides in all of its critical missions from immigration enforcement, to guarding our coast, to enhancing our resilience against natural disasters and emergencies. he's one of the finest people i've had the privilege to know, and we are deeply fortunate that he is now here at the white house as our chief of staff. do you agree with that? >> yes, sir. >> i do, too. >> that was a close one, right? during john kelly's time at

candidate for the general election who wasn't very competitive and i'm good friends with congress woman kiersten cinema who would make a great senator, exactly the point of my piece that we shouldn't be celebrating just the pharaoh partisan victory of campaigning one seat or losing one seat in thea. we should be looking at this, democrats and republicans as patriots and asking whether what jeff flake has been saying about our presidenten in p isn't true and something that calls us to action and to work towing in a way that strengthens the role of the senate going forward. >> senator, good morning, harold ford, let's turn to issues for one moment, two of them. how are things going with the negotiations between carden and corker around iran, around iran and two, we had keir simmons awaiting general mattis' visit anticipating president trump next week. where do you stands there and what is your thinking of diplomacy? we are getting reports it's failing on the north korea part. >> well, harold, i am very concerned about the ways the president has under mined his secretary of state, secretary rex til

president trump announcing he will nominate deputy chief of staff kiersten nielsen to lead the department of homeland security quote i will call upon the city to confirm this tremendous a qualified and talented nominee. the president said during a ceremony in the east room of the white house. read the rest of that story in the hill.com. also from fox news, they directly to become an american woman and her family from afghanistan where they were held captive by a taliban affiliated group appeared to write a snag today with official told foxnews the woman's husband is refusing to board a plane out of the middle east. caitlin coleman was 32, seven months pregnant when she and her husband josh when were abducted in afghanistan in 2012 by the haqqani network. the couple in the three children also were born in captivity were freed today and negotiate release according to an official from fox news but mr. boyle refusing to board an american military plane in pakistan fearing he will be arrested and that's according to a a u.s. official. some officials say mr. roberts is fearful of perhaps being

i'm wondering, i know gabe, you think that the new department of homeland security position filled by kiersten kneelson is maybe a sign he's leaving. she's close with kelly. maybe she's shoring up the president around the cabinet for what might happen next? >> i think general kelly has made a big difference in the white house when you look at the staff. he's the chief of the staff. he's not the chief of the president, and even -- the chief of staff trying to keep the president from going a place he wants to go, that's new territory. presidents are in charge of their chief of staff. general kelly has made a big difference looking down, but it's unrealistic thinking he'll be able to change the way the white house operates. you've seen it in the previous story on the congressional investigation and the house intelligence committee. he's isolated even from republican members of congress who are inclined to try to protect him. >> gabe, i want to ask you about a detail in the story. that is the steve bannon has told people he believes donald trump has only a 30% chance of finishing the full term. th
