foreign leaders. a heated phone call with donald trump and prime minister malcolm turnbull. many of the refugees from muslim majority countries listed in president trump's travel ban. obama administration agreed to accept more than 1,000 refugees now detained by australia which does not accept refugees over crime concerns. >> our sources say president trump kept telling the prime minister the deal with the previous administration was a bad deal and one of the refugees would turn out to be the next boston bomber. the source says as the australian leader pressed mr. trump on the refugee issue, the president told aides he wanted to end the call. he did so when the prime minister tried to change the subject to fighting isis. a source familiar with the circumstances says the president was fatigued from a long day of conversations with foreign leaders.
2:01 am
conversations including tense moments. after the story broke, turnbull said the conversation ended courteously. we also have new information on president trump's phone call with mexican president nieto. that came last friday after nieto canceled a visit to the white house over the repeated demand that mexico pay for the border wall. an ex-erpt of the phone call says donald trump offered to help with the drug cartels. he said you have tough hombres in mexico you may need help with. we are willing to help with that big league. they have to be knocked out. you have not done a good job knocking them out. mexicans would say we have not done a good job of stamping out drug addiction in the united states. >> that differs from the early
2:02 am
reporting from the ap and others suggesting that trump was thinking about a hostile incursion into mexico by u.s. troops to hit drug cartels. those were based on inaccurate based of a call written by aides. one government official who spoke to cnn described trump as naive to think he will have great relations with all world leaders. specifically if he responds with a tantrum when confront odd ped policy. white house raising stakes on iran. michael flynn lashing out for conducting a recent missile test. listen to the warning with tehran after taking a shot at the previous administration. >> president trump criticized the various agreements with iran and the obama administration as well as the united nations as being weak and ineffective. instead of being thankful to the united states in the agreements, iran is feeling emboldened. as of today, we are officially
2:03 am
putting iran on notice. >> iran's defense minister confirmed his country carried out the missile test, but did not violate international agreements and warns iran will not allow outsiders to interfere with the military affairs. let's get the latest from cnn's frederik pleitgen. he joins us live from london. you have been a rare reporter inside and talked to people in iran and see first hand, fred, this warming of relations between iran and obama administration and now the administration telling tehran you are on notice. >> reporter: it was interesting. we were in tehran a week ago, christine. we talked to people and asked them. how do you think the relax reres with the trump administration will evolve. especially with the nuclear agreement being a bad deal.
2:04 am
it was interesting. iranians were saying, look, we don't know what donald trump is going to do. we need a wait and see approach to trump and see what he does when he comes into office. one official said this man is a non conventional politician. maybe he would do business with iran. they have to rethink that after the comments from the national security adviser. one thing we heard time and again is the iranians saying if the new administration thinks iran will back down from stances or policies, it is mistaken. iranians willing to risk confrontation with the united states also over the issue of ballistic missiles. >> thank you, fred. keep us posted. confirmation hearings for neil gorsuch expected to get under way in six weeks. the president is warning democrats not to obstruct the confirmation. he is urging the senate to deploy the so-called nuclear
2:05 am
option reducing the 60 votes needed to a simple majority. >> if we end up with the same gridlock longer than eight years, in all fairness to obama f we end up with that gridlock f we can, mitch, go nuclear. that would be an absolute shame if a man of this quality was caught up why in the web. it is up to mitch. >> democrats are divided how far to take the fight over the nomination. we also learned the first phone call made after gorsuch was to judge merrick garland. the stone walled pick for the supreme court. his spokesman said gorsuch made the call out of respect. >> a lot of politics to discuss with eugene scott. what is remarkable is the news
2:06 am
flow is nonstop. so many developments here. let's start here with mexico if we can. i want to talk about australia. we are getting a read out of the call with the u.s. president and mexican president on friday after the tense standoff. a standoff over the wall and who would build the wall. what do you make of this of the united states president saying you are doing a bad job and the military is failing. we could come in and help you. >> certainly people on that side of the border view it as a threat and confrontational. it is hostile. that is not usually the first approach dealing with an international conflict. we may send our troop there is to handle something we think you are not handling. it is interesting because you have to listen to how trump is criticizing mexico on so many issues with national security and drugs and trade. i don't know what is being done to improve that relationship.
2:07 am
>> what is odd about the mexico relationship is that jared kushner and others have a good relationship with foreign leadership. is this trump being a brash new yorker and not used to the diplomatic nice ? >> that is what twe saw with th australian prime minister. people familiar with policy making are shocked by the deal. they look at these issues such as drugs and immigration and national security and say we are all in it together. >> what is interesting is the optics from the mexican side of the border is the big american bully picking on mexico. it is the drugs that -- the tryi drugs and money and guns flow.
2:08 am
if you are thinking of it from president trump's perspective is the border is weak. >> all of this aside, will it be effective? he wants a wall built. he wants a border tax. he wants all of these things. he wants tax reform. are these things working against him? >> he cannot get the mexican president to sit down with him. that is the first start in how you start to solve the problems. we have been reporters in the southwest. one of the things that frustrates many down there, they don't think americans are taking responsibility for their role in creating some of the challenges as you mentioned as our role in the drug war. >> absolutely. let's talk about australia. that remarkableme. the president having phone calls with leaders around the world. an ally. a friend. that detail is fascinating. >> i was fascinated by some of
2:09 am
the conversations which reveal how much trump doesn't understand the international agreements and foreign policy. when he tweeted, he said it say dumb deal, but i'll study it. it made it clear that perhaps he wasn't completely aware of the role that australia has played in helping us receive and vet refugees. a lot of criticism. not a lot of facts. >> a strong ally. >> you are talking about a pivot to chinese influence. >> you must be. right after everything with tpp, there is concerning and questions about where we go moving forward. >> the busiest man in television. >> we will talk to you about the confirmation hearings. a new protest at uc berkeley. a peaceful demonstration against a planned speech by right wing

protester milo yannapolus. we have kyung lah in the middle of all of the clash. >> reporter: christine and miguel, among a wave of post-election protests, students here at uc berkeley organized one with the protest outside the student union. it was to stop right wing speaker. about 1,500 students gathered here with the goal to stop him. saying that he is not free speech. he is hate speech. so, at some point the protests became violent. barricades used to smash in the first floor unions of the student union. protests set fires and faced off with police who had to use tear gas. the university says about 150 outside agitators of the 1,500
2:11 am
who showed up. that is who they are blaming for the violence. six people were injured. it became so violent, they had to cancel the event. the irony here is that uc berkeley in the 1960s was the birth place of the free speech movement. that was for students to have the right to express political opinions. miguel, christine. >> thank you, kyung lah. a somber moment for the trump presidency. greeting to meet the remains of the soldier killed in yemen. what we are learning about that man's sacrifice. if your sneezes are a force to be reckoned with... you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief.

2:17 am
and grenades. one of the air strikes against the building where the s.e.a.l.s are taking part, 14 were killed. as you mentioned, there was a fat fatally wounded s.e.a.l. an aircraft sent to aid the s.e.a.l. obtained a malfunction and destroyed by a u.s. air strike. a couple things went wrong. military officials say the information with the hard drives gathered is already yielding valuable intelligence. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is considered the most capable franchise and directed terrorist attacks in the past. including the charlie hebdo attacks in 2015. thank you, ryan. >> to business news. reports overnight that google,

app apple, microsoft, facebook, drafting a letter to the president opposing his travel ban. r ricoh founder broke the news to don lemon. >> i think what is different is they are trying to involve not just tech companies, but a range of companies. manufacturing companies, media companies. they don't want to make it tech versus donald trump which it has become a little bit. they want to involve lots of companies involved in it. they are supportive of immigration and it is important to businesses and the core values of the company. >> microsoft declined comment. apple considering a lawsuit against the ban. saying it is considering a suit. it is in a tough spot. $230 billion overseas. trying to protect shareholders and employees. on the one hand, many of the companies want a seat at the

2:21 am
try laxatives. been there, done that. my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know. tell me something i don't know. vo: linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under six and it should not be given to children six to seventeen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.

2:25 am
he's a stupid guy. donald trump known to have a good relationship with brady and kraft. goodell chose not to talk about him. he said he hopes the super bowl brings the world together. here in houston, one of the cool things about the week is the nfl experience. a giant football theme park. i went and took part in the festivities this week. so many fun things to do. run obstacle courses and run the 40 and i may have come in fourth in the race, but i was running my heart out. i think it was a 5.9 40. i also kicked a field goal. knocking down the 20 yarder. tons of fun in houston. one of the coolest events here at the nfl experience which is behind me at the convention center. >> the kick is good. >> the field goal was impressive. we will work on that running, andy. goodell, he has to bring an

2:35 am
so. we asked them how they thought the relations with the trump administration would evolve. they said right now, we have a wait and see approach toward donald trump. they would hope the rhetoric from candidate donald trump would be different once he came into office. it looks like there is a potential for the confrontation after you had an easing of tensions during the obama years. one of the things the iranians are saying they believe they have the right to conduct these ballistic missile tests because they say the missiles they he are te are testing are not capable of nuclear warheads. they don't violate u.n. resolution. a lot of tension with washington and tehran. it could get worse over time. >> fred, thank you very much. confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee neil

2:37 am
mascinations in washington is eugene scott. we are in constant crisis mode with the president and administration. he has giant goals as well. repealing health care, putting something else in, tax reform. is this all getting in the way? >> it seems like it. he definitely has tried to do a lot within 13 days. not even two full weeks. a lot of that has been hit with criticism. there's been a bit of push back if he will actually do what he said he wanted to do. i think he and his supporters are surprised by how critical people, including members of his party, have been on things he campaigned on. >> there is a realization in my world, you know, covering wall street and business, tax reform is harder than they thought. there are disagreement was the house and senate and theme president. we say the trump trade fades.
2:38 am
the oxygen is sucked up by protests and concerns of the travel ban and the like and not necessarily a push toward tax reform. >> it is different from business. it is not like i'm the boss and this happens and it is going to happen. there is push back. you have constituents who are on twitter as much as you and don't have a problem letting you know and your subordinates they don't support what you put forward. >> he still doesn't have his full cabinet. when does this start to become a problem? obviously betsy devos is coming up possibly today. >> she is in jeopardy. >> they are trying to get one. democrats are focusing on trying to get the republicans and some of the battleground states that almost went blue to vote against betsy devos. the challenge is one of the biggest challenges that devos had. she has given to so many republicans, especially even in the senate, that their allegiance is not clear. people are worried they cannot
2:39 am
convince the senators to vote against her when she supported them. >> teachers union against her and labor unions against her. eli brode, supports charter schools. he wrote a letter saying she is not qualified. some of the senators on the record against her say she doesn't demonstrate she hasn't made public schools succeed. that is the bulk of the job. >> i think the very important point you need to understand few senators are questioning her commitment to education or children. what everyone is questioning is her experience and her commitment to public schools. recently this week, there is a concern aboutplagiarism. if she is able to lead is problematic. >> you have mnuchin and price. at some point you start to run into serious problems here. the democrats are trying every
2:40 am
trick in the book from weak position. will they be effective? >> they say they are responding because they say republicans tried every trick in the book. trying to force the nominees in without completing all of the paper work they need to vet the people. as we talked about a bit, these are not people most of us know. these are not people we're familiar with. there are so many questions. answers are turned in less than 48 hours before hearings. >> i'll put you on the spot here. president trump, the diplomat. >> okay. >> where does he stand on this? is he the game changer disrupt er or is he naive and making mistakes with global leaders? >> he has not had global leaders in the last five days speak out affirmatively on international affairs. when you look at diplomacy of building positive relationships, he doesn't have a huge track
