casey, let's start with you. senator sessions was grilled on civil rights, women's rights, hate crimes, immigration, his ability to say no to donald trump. the muslim ban, torture, russian hacking, freedom of the press. what so far has been the major headline? and is there anything in there that could potentially, if not derail his confirmation, then pose a hurdle? >> at this point katie i think the short answer is we haven't heard anything that stands out as something that's really going to be a sticking, tripping block for jeff sessions on his road to confirmation. now, that said, before we go through a couple of those other issues one thing that we did see some late focus on was senator al franken's line of questioning. what franken did was essentially press jeff sessions on his history fighting for civil rights. so jeff sessions, the trump transition team have worked very hard to highlight areas of his resume when he served as alabama attorney general and in other roles fighting on behalf of civil rights. ess

and live on capitol hill, casey hunt. she is where the hearing for the education nominee betsy devos will get underway a little bit later today. kristen let's start with you. trump is brushing off the negative polling. tell me what's going on within the transition. is there some concern about where he stands right now and his ability going forward to unite this country? >> reporter: that's right. donald trump is brushing off those polls, katie, saying they are yet another part of the rigged system. but when you talk to transition officials they stress a couple of points. one, that his inauguration will be focused on unity. that's going to be a big theme that we can expect. and internally, they try to kinds of shift the narrative away from some of what the president-elect has put forward publicly. for example, when it comes to this big rift with the intelligence community, you see president-elect donald trump doubling down. and of course outgoing cia director john glennen slamming him overnight hadn his exit interview with

kristen welker and casey hunt. we're going over to the former homeland security senior executive and former border patrol agent who spent years infiltrating many of mexico's smuggling rings and drug cartels. he's also the author of "the hunt for mon singh" and "the shadow catcher." let's take a listen to what he said a few minutes ago. >> most of illegal immigration is coming from our southern border. i've said many times that the american people will not pay for the wall. and i've made that clear to the government of mexico. i will notal allow the taxpayers or the citizens of the united states to pay the cost of this defective transaction. that nafta, one that should have been renegotiated many years ago, except that the politicians were too preoccupied to do so. donald trump campaigned on the wall. he said he was going to build the wall. one of the first things he did was say, i'm going to build a wall and he signed executive action to do that. that shouldn't come as a surprise. my question to you is, what does t

i want to bring in casey hunt at the white house for us. good morning to you. let's talk about the backlash against the executive order of president trump and what he signed. >> good morning. growing backlash this morning to that executive order that president trump signed yesterday. it puts a temporary ban on immigrants from certain countries. he calls it s it extreme vetti critics say it amounts to a ban on muslims. fallout this morning from president donald trump's move to make good on a divisive campaign promise. >> new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the united states of america. >> reporter: at the pentagon yesterday trump signing an executive order to ban immigrants from these predominantly muslim countries for the next 90 days. >> we don't want them here. >> it stopped short of an all-out ban on muslims. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> reporter: but it sparked outrage. the aclu
