Hi, everyone. Happy Friday. It's 4 o'clock in New York.

Scrutiny on Capitol Hill today for the person picked for the job that was a controversial

revolving door in Trump 1.0 and is likely to remain a flashpoint in Trump 2.0.

That was until she herself revealed and narrated a detailed account of that time she shot and killed her own dog.

In a book that also happened to be rife with baffling inaccuracies.

South Dakota Governor Christine Nome was on Capitol Hill today before the Senate Homeland Security

Committee for her confirmation hearing.

Eight years ago, the person in Nome's chair was retired Marine General John Kelly,

and he broke with Donald Trump that day on a number of issues

from targeting Muslim Americans to Russian interference in the 2016 election and even the

border wall. Listen.

Well, you commit to ensuring that religion does not become a basis for U.S. counterterrorism

or law enforcement policy,

countries?

I don't think it's ever appropriate to focus on something like religion is the only factor.

So yes, sir.

General Kelly, do you accept the conclusions of the intelligence community regarding Russian interference in our election?

With high confidence.

A physical barrier in of itself, certainly is a military person that understands defense and defenses,

physical barrier in and of itself will not do the job.
