since trump won the u.s. election, netanyahu's far-right government has announced the construction of hundreds of settlement housing units -- as well as the first brand new settlement in two decades -- in the israeli-occupied west bank. trump's pick for ambassador to israel, david friedman, is a longtime political and financial supporter of israel's settlements, which are illegal under international law. netanyahu is a close friend of the kushner family, jared kushner in advisor to president trump and also his son-in-law. in washington state, lawyers are suing the federal government over the arrest and detention of daniel ramirez medina, who was arrested friday by agents with immigration and customs enforcement, or ice, even though the 23-year-old has permission to live and work in the united states under president obama's daca program. that is deferred action for childhood arrivals. his lawyers have called his detention unprecedented and unjustified. ramirez was arrested when ice agents came to his father's

how come trump knows manafort. why are they all knowing each other is my question, to start with. >> you know, i spent a fair amount of time writing political satire, and when you list things like that, i can't answer that question. roger stone has been at donald trump's side. i remember him escorting trump onto a convention floor several conventions ago when he was going to run for president and we thought it was a joke. the question about paul manafort, who was engaged in helping prose, you mentioned soviet. it's funny i had that same instinct to call them soviets. prorussian ukraines. there's entanglement. one of the things that helped trump is the different skeins of this raise so many questions that it's hard to focus on any one strain and say that's what we have to question. the question i think really comes down to the senate republicans who have looked at trump as their instrument for getting a lot of good things done and have tended to overlook a lot of things. are they beginning to see this as a series of

. >>> trump watch. tuesday, february 21st, 2017, the danger of heading too far right even in this good country is you meet some strange people. these are oddities on the bad side. they are not the country's worry right now. the beehive that's buzzing today is on the hard right. it includes the sort of people donald trump aroused from under their rocks during the last campaign. i refer to those captivated early by his condemnation of barack obama's a guy whoo snuck into this country from east africa, build up a phony resume in and where trump said no one knew him and traveled underground to such places as harvard law school and the white house all the while pretending to be this guy born to a kansas mother, grandson of a world war ii combat vet. he began beating the drum about rapists sneaking in from mexico and pushing for a ban on muslims sneaking in here to terrorize. trump has no one to blame beyond himself for the image he's projected of something comfortable with people who championed a view toward

trump: so, sit down. donald trump did not get a standing ovation. they leave out the part, they never sat down. they leave that out. my first major speech was at cpac. probably five or six years ago, first major political speech. and you were there. i loved it, i love the people and the commotion. they did these polls where i was -- i went through the roof and i was not even running. it gave me an idea. i got concerned when i saw what was happening in the country. and i said let's go to it. it was very exciting. i walked the stage at cpac. i will never forget it, really. i had very little notes and even less preparation. so when you have practically no notes and no preparation and you leave and everyone was thrilled, i said i think i like this business. i would have come last year but i was worried that at that time i would be too controversial. we wanted border security and a very, very strong military. we wanted all of the things we're going to get. people consider that controversial, but you did not consider it controversial. [applause] pres. tru

trump and the prime minister. all of this on secretary of state rex tillerson's first day on the job. we have live coverage from europe to the middle east to asia. we start with ian lee in jerusalem with the surprising white house pivot on israeli settlements. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, christine. for many of us who cover israel, this did come as a bit of a shock especially since it seemed like the trump administration was giving the israeli government the green light to expand settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem. they announced over 6,000 settlement units since trump came into office. then we get this statement from the white house. while we don't believe the existence of settlements are an impediment to pieeace, the expansion beyond the current borders may not be helping in achieving that goal. we are starting to hear from israeli officials. the deputy foreign minister came out shortly and said that the current israeli government was elected to act on the jewish people's right to b

in trump world, enemy of the american people is an enemy of trump lies. i have been on trump's enemies list since he told his first lie about president obama's birth. it was a pretty short list in those days, and trump's media enemies list remained a very short list after he began his presidential campaign, and the news media prized access to trump. there was nothing better for your ratings on tv than a donald trump interview. an interview that i never got because i was on that enemies list from day one. and donald trump knew. he knew very well how an interview with me would have gone. it wouldn't have been one of those interviews that i was conducting in the hope of getting him to agree to come back for another interview. he attacked me on twitter every chance he got. he threatened to sue me on twitter and i wore every one of those tweets like a badge of honor. a badge that said, enemy of trump lies. and tonight the good news for america is there are more and more of those enemies of trump lies in the american news media every day. and yes, better late t

during trump's upcoming state visit, sobbing trumps racism and sexism. trump's racism and sexism. to talk more about trump's foreign policy, we are joined by ststephen walt, international relations professor at harvard university. his recent piece in foreign policy headlined "trump has already blowown it." how has he blown it? >> i think you could argue t tht trumump had a an oppoportunity e was elected d to move an americn foreign-policy in a somewhat different direction, and it would have been -- there would have been substantial public support away from military interventionism, trying to get a more even distribution of labor with some of our key allies, working for economic arrangements that benefited main street as muchch as theyey bened wall strtreet. so hee could have done that. of course, he has d done the opposite. he has been picking fifights wih some of f our traditioional alls anand doing t that to no good purpose, with no real end in mind. he is an explicit totally -- inextricably continue to defend the bad behavior of vladimir putin and has

president trump: i have a judge who is a hater of donald trump. he is a hater. be judge, who happens to mexican, which i think is fine, i think the mexicans are going to end up loving donald trump when i give all these jobs. amy: that was donald trump attacking another judge for his mexican heritage. he then tweeted up a furious storm on saturday talking about judge robart. how unusual is this?s? >> we certainly have not seen this in the past where you have a president or his administration individually attack judges and their decisions. yes, they may attack their notsions, right not -- but individually challenge the judg es. i think it shows the deliver it disregard -- deliberate disregard from the administration to the principles of our democracy. there are three equal branches that apply checks and balalances on one another. amy: that adams, they did for being with us. adams is also legal director for the northwest immigrant rights project, which filed the suit along with the american immigration council l and the nanational immigration project f the national

than trump himself. does that make it easier or yarder to work with others in this administration. >> democrats haven't been able to crack the code with this guy. there is a lot of energy in their base. he won the election. despite all these controversies he keeps plowing ahead. what we will see today is donald trump having fun. he likes going out on the stump, likes the adoring crowds. likes bragging about his victory attacking democrats and hist media. i think he krz himself the bess messenger of his administration and he is going to go out there and deliver it the way he wants to deliver night do you think he is making progress on his initiatives? >> that's the huge question. there is a lot of frustration i think on capitol hill that instead of talking about tax cuts, obamacare repeal we are talking about donald trump's tweets, about him calling the media the enemy of the american people. it is a hard for republicans to drive a coherent consistent message when he keeps come out and saying these outlan

it was vintage trump. the trump people voted for the outsider, thursday trump was dismantling the hostile media in the briefing room and shouting to his base, to the deplorables and they loved it. the media, not so much. they whined, they moaned and generally offended by the event so much so they failed to cover a far more important moment later in that day. after the epic press conference, president trump signed legislation that rolls back onerous regulations on the coal industry, therefore freeing an industry to hire more americans for jobs right here in america. west virginia, kentucky, pennsylvania, ohio among others. >> president trump we thank you very much for everything that you've done for us, everything you're doing for our industry is very much needed. i've been mining in this industry for 40 years and this is a very exciting time for our industry. eric: you see, that's where the trump rubber meets the road, jobs. so far tens of thousands of american jobs trump saved and created are what really

we know it's not trump. i figured -- i was, like, let me show you the current standings of what we have here, all right? ( laughter ) so, as you can see, for week three, we have a whole bunch of people, donald trump's still stuck in number five spot, but there is been a lot of movement in the top three and that's what we'll share with you today. at number three, we have jay jarvanka -- jared and ivanka trump. ( laughter ) in the number two spot, fox news, or as trump calls it his daily briefings. but the number one spot in this week's edition of who's the real president goes to -- ( drum roll ) ( cheering ) ( booing ) >> trevor: steve bannon! yea! steve! yea! yes. donald trump's chief strategist who is the rormer radical editor of breitbart and the author of the best selling biography if eczema were human, the steve bannon story. ( laughter ) we've heard so much about the power and influence steve bannon has in the white house. >> where did the term muslim ban come from? >> how did the president decide the s

and nbc news reports investigators have determined while some trump campaign aides and trump business associates were in contact with russians, there's no indication those russians were all intelligence officers. according to "the new york times," one person picked up on the calls was trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort. manafort told nbc news he had, "no contact knowingly with russian intelligence officials." president trump responded to the story this morning on twitter, writing "the fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred." and "this russian connection nonsense is merely an attempt to cover up the many mistakes made in hillary clinton's losing campaign." like precious bodily fluids from dr. strangelove. and another setback for the trump administration, late today, the president's pick to be labor secretary withdrew his nomination. andrew puzder pulled out after it became clear he didn't have the republican votes he needed to win confirmation. joining me right now, "washington post" white house correspondent jenna johnson. "the new

trump helped his case. he stuck it to the media. good for him. you have got the 30% to 40% of people who don't like donald trump, and that re-even forced their view of him. the question is, what about everyone else, the people who voted for obama and switched to trump. i don't think he's helping himself with those people. i don't think constantly obsessing over the minutia of media coverage is helping him in any way, shape or form. it's not going to help him get his policies passed, it won't reinforce a sense of stability. it won't help him with republican senators who are having questions. >> before it counters what he seize as a negative media negative. isn't the distaste much deeper than that. don't most of the journalists dislike this presi they think some of his policy positions like immigration are extreme. >> maybe. let's agree that the main supreme media tend to lean left. when george bush was elected and started in 2001, lost the popular vote and won the electoral vote. we didn't have anything like

and sordid donald trump. he lost the state of new hampshire by a narrow margin in the general election, but he won the big prize, in ajourney the general election, but he won the big prize, in a journey that started here, in more ways than one. new hampshire, iwant here, in more ways than one. new hampshire, i want to thank you. we love you. you started it. remember, you started it. a minute left of this half of outside source. i will quickly show you a report from a chinese village featuring a pretty impressive commute... until recently a trip to work or school meant scaling and 800 metre cliff face. have a look at this. scaling an 800 metre cliff face. have a look at this. translation: stay with us on outside source. in our sports section we will look at downhill mountain biking and downhill mountain biking and downhill skateboarding. that is coming up in five—minutes' time. stay with us for that. hello. our weather may have turned colder, reaching for the gloves and scarves again, but spare a thought for

trump. anybody who doesn't understand that and writes against that fact is just reporting inaccurate information. howie: you told sean hannity on the radio that the media are inciting mob mentality. that's a very strong charge. you think negative media coverage could lead to mob violence. >> did you see the martyrs at the airport, the conscientious civic participants. protests are part of our first amendment. howie: we have seen this in some of the urban riots. >> why don't they go and talk to -- they are the media. they already missed america. they don't understand america and thup their nose at most of america and you know that. america didn't go to the ivy league schools like the media did. there are some people in the media whose dry cleaning bill for the year is basically what some people earn in the cities and counties where donald trump won. fast forward, why don't they go and see who is going to benefit and talk to the people who are tactically going to benefit from keeping the facto

trump 45%. does trump know pence better surrogate for him than he is himself? >> we are starting a poll, in this poll, trump most popular person. bernie sanders is most of the country -- >> pence is most popular in the administration. you look at bannon, he is down 20%. the people negative 2 or 3. >> those people are having trouble going to speak to people now. >> michelle, this is true. he is like dart va dar. >> right. >> he is sort of the tough guy in the white house. kellyanne has had her problems. but pence says yes, i believe in nato. so we get more gas, these are the -- why isn't the president says the smart stuff? >> because the base doesn't want to hear from him. that's not what he got elected for. he is calm, he is stable. when everybody else in the administration is operating up here, hearing his even his tone of voice, can be very calming which is surprising. because prior to the election one would have thought, given pence's idea, people would not find calm in pence. but that's what he has given them. >> that's what's bizarre, i think cheney was --

or any former staffer for the trump -- with trump? >> so i agree with your previous guest in saying, you know, the senate intel committee, they've said they're going to take this up. that is where you do investigations like this. i think to call for a 9/11-type commission is overkill on this. i think we need to get to the bottom of this. these are answers we deserve. ultimately specifically on the flynn thing, i think the cover-up in this case is far worse than the crime depending on what was discussed and in fact, later, you know, find out he talked to the fbi, we want to know if he told the truth to the fbi or not. if he lied, in fact, that's what can lead to a lot of trouble. so i think the senate intel committee is perfectly capable of getting to the bottom of this, answers that we need and i think we'll get them. >> i've been pointing out every night that jeremy bash who worked for cia director panetta, secretary of defense panetta, i sort of look to for guidance on this, he said that he had no -- he would expect or have no probl

trump, well news flash, donald j. trump is president. >> kind of like he did on the campaign trail, right? when things would get rocky he would go back to the people. he would turn back to the base. he would have his giant rallies and his speeches where he would kind of go off on tangents on poll numbers go off on tang engts making fun of hillary clinton and whatnot. and it energized him. and kind of energized his base. he's had a rocky start here inside of official washington. it's a return home for him. there are those thinking this will energize his supporters and maybe help him get back on track a little bit. >> eric, now do you, the president in south carolina, north charleston at boeing was praised for his delivery. for being relaxed. staying on message there. do we have an idea of what we're going to hear today? are we going to hear what tom just suggested quite possibly may be more tax on the media? >> yeah, absolutely. this is going to be sort of vintage trump. he's going to be talking about jobs, complaining

what has he learned from trump. he joined me now. >> you are big billionaires, you guys understand leverage very effectively. how do do you believe president trump is using leverage in negotiating so far his first 30 days as commander-in-chief? >> the first thing trump recognized in the campaign, and i think it's not just unique to the united states, it happened in britain and canada, in france and switzerland, in columbia, the body politic people who vote are sick and tired of politicians. they've had enough bs. they want people who are operators to run government, that make promises they keep and that was the groundswell that elected donald trump and he is doing exactly what he said. not everybody is comfortable about it. it's the first time in a long time a politician actually kept their promises. that's that's what such a shock to everybody. jesse: people are very uncomfortable with politicians keeping promises because it never happens. one of your colleagues in shark tank, mark cuban, very vocal critic of trump

campaign and the trump business. according to u.s. officials familiar with the matter. and both the frequency of the communications and proximity to those close to trump raised a red flag to law intelligence and law enforcement. and according to these officials, the communications were intercepted during routine collection of information targeting russian officials and other russian nationals known to u.s. intelligence. among those regularly communicating with russian nationals was then campaign manager paul manafort and adviser michael flynn according to our sources. officials say communications between representatives between foreign governments is not unusual. however, due to the frequency and level of the trump advisers involved. investigators have not reached a judgment on the intent of those communications adding to those u.s. ambassador were concerned that were intercepted communications between russian officials before and after the election. discussing their belief that they had special access to trump. now,

donald trump treated this. our first guest tonight is here to talk about the iranian provocations and the trump administration focus on radical islamist terror. joining us ambassador john bolton. do you think there is any way the irans will pay attention? >> when you name specific individual and companies, simply new come any, new false fronts appear. freezing asset in the united states, if the iranians learned anything once obama unfroze all their assets, they are not going to leave anything here to freeze. what's most significant are the statements made by president trump, national security advisor principle saying this puts iran on notice. i think what it put them on in the about is the obama nuclear deal is a heartbeat away from being ended. and the president himself saying i's not taking any options off the table. for the first time in 8 years there is a credible threat of military force. if donald trump has shown anything in the past two week it's his credibility. if there is the slightest chance iran wil

during the campaign, donald trump talked about a case involving trump university. and he called the judge a mexican using basically an ethnic slur because the judge is actually from indiana and said he was not qualified. this could be the start of a big challenge, not just to the judiciary but to the whole idea of checks and balances. >> that's what i wanted to talk to you about. in many ways some observers have been saying that the courts it seems are taking up, taking up the challenge essentially of this presidency that a lot of the pushback is going to come from the courts rather than say for example, congress. >> i think that was going to happen initially because this executive order in particular was so sweeping in what it is trying to do that it raised constitutional questions. congressmen right now who may question trump will tend to hang back. they're hoping he can be contained. in that sense, the court fight is sort of the first round of that attempt. >> when we look at all these protests that have been happening outside mar-a-lago, we're reporting a thous

having said that, trump, i believe that trump believes he needs someone, a straw man. someone to blame because there's not a hillary clinton out there. >> an opponent. >> we make the most easiest foil for that. our problem tends to be is people believe we spend too much time focusing on what he says about us. they would like to see us spend more time on what he's doing. does that make sense? >> it does. i would argue some of his actions, what he is doing is attacking the media. >> that's true. >> it's more -- go ahead and i'll make my point. >> we're caught in a really bad position in the way that i see it. we're not the enemies. we work very hard to bring the truth to the people. the people need a free press. it's a vibrant part of a democracy. >> carl. >> look, trump is an enemy of the truth. that is what we know from his presidency thus far. he's not interested in the truth. he's not interested in the best attainable version of the truth, which is what real journalism and reporting is. he's not interested in fact based debate. what we are seeing already are actions

in the trump column? these things were set in motion before president obama were set in office. -- president obama was in office. because of the red line, because of one thing after the other. and begun to say we are not sure if the united states has the same kind of -- have our back like they used to. amy: particularly in the period when kerry was secretary of state to deserve more credit for having the u.s. be a voice within our alliances and relationships that people still can turn to. but a lot has been going on with our allies at the same time during the obama years, the whole questioning of the european project. he should to say, oh, have just yelled at all the europeans. i do not know that that would have done anything. but i think that in the in the obama period, obama was a voice that people listened to in a considered way that people don't know what to make of. charlie: he certainly didn't call nato obsolete. [laughter] julia: but we have gone from one extreme to the other. i wonder what practic

mr trump's attitude to judges — trump talked of "so—called judges.". it follows the court's decision to rule out the president's travel ban on people from mostly muslim countries, and further bitterness between the president and some in congress. are these teething troubles — or a sign of how the next four years are likely to be in washington — with the president attacking the other pillars of the us constitution? where do you think we are now? well, i think, what happened this week is reflective of the fact that trump clearly has a hazy view of the constitution, and separation of powers, and the checks and balances that are the hallmark of the us critical system. the appeals courtjudges sent a strong message to him saying, you cannot invoke national security concerns. are these teething problems? to some extent, there is some of that going on. remember when he issued the executive order on immigration, he did not have key appointments in place, and the fact that he has now said that he is considering rewriting the order and making it more narrow,

trump later briefly spoke e to reporters at the white house. mr. trump: it is a political decision. we have a situation where the security of our country is at stake, and it is a very, very serious situation. >> thanks, guys. mr. trump: this is just a decision that came down, but we wiwill win the ce. amy: t the ruling was a major victory for the state of washington which took trump to court. washington state a attorney general bob ferguson called the ruling a victory for the u.s. -- u.s. constitution. mr. ferguson: we have seen him in court twice, and we are 2-2. that is number one. in my view, the future of the constitution is at stake. that i is at stake as well. and, look, we respect that the president has broad authority when it comes to issuing executive orders, but they still have to follow the constitution. does s have a choice ---- he can cocontinue to fight this, or he can tear up the executive order and start over. counsel -- i would strongly counsel him to continue the letter. amy: the trump administration now has 14 days to ask the full 9th circuit to review the decisio

easier to go after trump. >> of the most severe trump -- joy behar does the same thing. they didn't like trump from the get go. it is a rough thing when you are trying to say i think it would be good. then they say this is why he is terrible. >> i feel bad for poor chad. >> how do i handle this. i think canceling the oscars would be bad for us. >> probably should cancel to spare hollywood the embarrassment. >> cancel half of the oscar. >> on the internet, right wing has all sorts of hashtags. you can have fun with what whoopi said. it has merit. powerful analogy. >> it is wrong. >> compared to the taliban? >> didn't he say shut up to the media? >> religious preference in terms of immigrants. forgot about that. >> what about demeaning remarks about women. >> you are actually comparing that with the taliban. >> i am saying i think whoopi goldberg wanted us to think about the kind of attitude, bullying we are seeing. >> when we think about it -- >> just like the taliban. how stupid the analogy is. >> you can argue that. it is clearly hyperbole as dana was saying. >> i am po

but does trump know what that means. and therefore it becomes an erratic thing, that they can't predict. nobody can actually put their money into a particular direction because they don't know what he means by america first. and they don't think he knows what he means by america first. whereas the russians seem to know exactly what they want. and then what happens when you get all these countries who say france first or russia first, america first, all these nationalist regimes. if they're all saying their own country first, then who wins out of that. because it doesn't-- it's not grounds for an orchestrated meal. >> that raises i guess a broader point which perhaps is pertinent now in a way that we hadn't really considered in t in the last 20 years what it means, what is the role of america. and is it-- is it show america's duty in the post cold war, world, to be the upholders of a foreign policy that is built not on individual interests, as malik was suggesting but on something more broad than that? >> i think the u.s.

since trump won the u.s. election, netanyahu's far-right government has announced the construction of hundreds of settlement housing units -- as well as the first brand new settlement in two decades -- in the israeli-occupied west bank. trump's pick for ambassador to israel, david friedman, is a longtime polititical and financl supporter of israel's settlements, which are illegal under international law. netanyahu is a close friend of the kushner family, jared kushner in advisor to president trump and also his son-in-law. in washington state, lawyers are suing the federal government over the arrest and detention of daniel ramirez medina, who was arrested friday by agents with immigration and customs enforcement, or ice, even though the 23-year-old has permission to live and work in the united states under president obama's daca program. that is deferred action for childhood arrivals. his lawyers have called his detention unprecedented and unjustified. ramirez was arrested when ice agents came to his father's

trump during the campaign. as you heard in michelle's package, things like he was considering recognizing the independence of crimea. that was extremely worrying to ukraine. so i think in the context of the comments from the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley this week and what seems to be a slight shift in mr. trump's stance when it comes to sanctions on russia, they will be looking for clarification of that from in trump, from the white house. obviously there is pressure from mr. trump's party, john mccain urging him to arm the ukranian forces, to send lethal aid. the white house did not know whether or not mr. trump would be keen on that idea. so there is a lack of clarity, both confusion about where mr. trump stands on russia and on the issue of ukraine and the violence there escalating all the time. >> tell us about that. what is the situation on the ground, how bad is it? >> it's extremely serious. this is what the international monitors described it as unprecedented level of cease fire violations th

your thoughts on trump? growing up, you see these different things. , in he became the president think k a lot of people were shockeked. for a man with three daughters, i see thehe way he talks about women, the women's movement, i don't agree with a lot of the ink he says or does. you think about building the ,all when the wall is built when so many things are done by them, i disagree with his policies and terms. i hope he realizes it takes everybody to have a place like america. people from chinese, african, italian, irish,'s and wish, it native-- spanish, american dissentnt. it takeses everybody. i do not think he thinks about the choices and the mindset he creates for young people that might disagree with somebody. your brother was also in the headlines. five teammates of his and him, they said they will not visit the white house for the super bowl celebration as a protest against donald trump. your thoughts on it. his decision.port when a person has to deal with , i think a strong person, i definitely ag

donald trump, president trump, taking to twitter in a series of fiery and brash tweets. i'll read it for you. tweeting, when a country is no longer able to say who can and who cannot come in and out, especially for reasons of safety and security, big trouble. that was just the first tweet among many. donald trump in his tweets also calling the torder of the judge in seattle ridiculous. it wasn't the only time that the administration used such an adjective to describe that order. in fact, last night, a statement was released by sean spicer, initially calling the order "outrageous." then that word "outrageous" taken out in a subsequent statement released and the white house saying this last night. at the earliest possible time, the department of justice intends to file an emergency stay of this order and defend the executive order of the president which we believe is lawful and appropriate. the president orders intended to protect the homeland and the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the american people. the administration remaining steadfast that the

they met with president-elect trump. is there a sense that maybe that meeting was just smoke and mirrors? >> i think there's a philosophy for some to stay in there. and to see if they can affect change, right? we have elon musk who is staying attached to trump with the hopes of impacting policy. however, you have someone like travis from uber who just from pressure from his own company and the public, had to step down from being in trump's group. so, i think it's going to be a lit boiflt of both. you're going to have some folks who stay in there and see if they can really have impact. and i think elon musk believes that getting in there and partnering is going to help impact policy. so, we'll see. he might be the type of executive that can do that. and certainly, trump likes to surround himself with great minds and popular people. and it's going to be an interesting mixture, i think. >> abinteresting mix, absolutely. we've been saying that a lot lately. thanks for being with us. appreciate it. >> a pleasure. >>> a legal

the question becomes when did trump know it and why did trump trump -- >> eric: the same thing greg pointed out. there was a tape of president obama saying after the election there will be a lot more leeway. >> juan: that's basic politics. >> greg: this could be politics too. a guy in transition into a role of saying we'll talk to you about it later. >> juan: you can't undercut policy. >> greg: he may not have. we don't know. >> eric: ahead, relations with israel, our strongest ally in the middle east, have been greatly strained during the obama administration but thankfully it's a new era now. here what prime minister benjamin netanyahu and president trump told the world today and a joint press conference from the white house. ♪ my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got... ...allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. it's good to be in, good hands. ♪ >> dana: benjamin netanyahu made his first visit to the white house and more than two years today. relations between israel and the uni

there is no presidential donald trump that's that different than candidate trump. this is what you're going to get is a president who promises and pursues big change but also gets in a fight with meryl streep on twitter and the cast of "saturday night live." leaders around the world are still adjusting to exactly what that means. >> ron brownstein, thangreat toe you with us. thanks. >> we're going to have much more ahead on the court battle over president trump's ban. >> i'll talk to one of our legal analysts about why the ban's suspension may increase the confusion about who will be able to enter the u.s. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me. they keep telling me "drink more water." "exercise more.

number one idea from trump. bans and registries only affect foreign nationals, so if you're an american citizen like me, nothing to worry about. >> wear are american citizens. >> oh, (bleep). it's japanese american george takay. >> because we look like the enemy, we were treated like the enemy and imprisoned. >> okay so it happened once! the law of interminate has never technically been overturned, but that could never happen today because now we have smartphones. oh, what i just said was so real. it's like i always say, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice other places, also. keep your trks tigh t tight and. next week, the record on jeff sessions. just because someone says something racist, is it? think about it, see you next week. >> trevor: hasan minhaj, everybody! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) this is lynchburg, tennessee. this is how many people were born here. this many are fifth generation. this is how many are named hiawatha kitty mcgee. he keeps the town dry. they'd prefer it a littl

trump. i can't resist. [laughter] >> that's coming up. facetious? of course. the senators are expecting to confirm steven mnuchin as treasury secretary later today. marsha blackburn is with us. he's the guy we need to put in place to get the tax cut early. this is a vital piece of the puzzle, isn't it? >> it is a vital piece of puzzle, stuart. yes, getting him confirmed and in place will allow some of the wheels to start turning. you're right. people want to see what is going to happen with the marginal rates for individuals, and they also want to know what the plan is going to be for corporate tax rates. >> and that's a part of the reason why the dow will open 50 or 60 points higher in new record territory this morning, but i have to ask you about this, marsha. the mainstream media absolutely not shy about his disdain for national security advisor general michael flynn. here is the headline from the times, quote, turmoil at the national security council from the top down. if i'm reading the

trump: absolutely. incentive was taken out of the real estate industry. when the values went down -- and they plummeted, they absolutely plummeted -- billions of dollars worth halfate is now the billions of dollars. charlie: the crisis came about because a lot of savings and loan splendid money to developers that were bad loans that should have never been made. mr. trump: that's true, but a lot of that was exacerbated. a lot of loans that could have been good loans were made into bad loans because of the 1986 tax law change. what that dude is all of a sudden you have resolution trust, and you pay billions and billions. $5 billion inve taxes, we are now paying trillions of dollars. charlie: ron perlman the other day made a billion dollars or something. mr. trump: he is a good man. i hope you didn't make a lot of money -- hope he did make a lot of money. but the government passed a stupid law. charlie: here is the other side, people with great youepreneurial gifts like did there gets extended too far. whe

a busy weekend for president trump. just hours away from his campaign-style rally in melbourne, florida. we'll bring it to you live as it happens. and retired lieutenant general keith kellogg, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton and lieutenant general hr mcmaster. this comes after the president asked for the resignation of michael flynn. cnn's washington correspondent ryan nobles. according to a senior administration official, john bolton is gaining the support of trump staffers. tell us more about these candidates. >> i think it's safe to say that john bolton is the front-runner to replace michael kelly as the national security advisor but the same officials telling us that bolton is rising up the ranks, they're saying nothing is official until donald trump formally makes that decision. bolton has the resume for the job, the former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and former assistant attorney general but he's a little controversial. you remember when he was appointed during the bush administration, it

trump. what he said about vladimir putin stunned even fellow republicans. >> will i get along with him? i have no idea. >> putin is a killer. >> a lot of killers. we got a lot of killers. you think our country is so innocent? you think our country is so innocent? >> i don't know of any government leaders that are killers -- >> well, take a look at what we have done too. made a lot of mistakes. >> putin is suspected in the murders of political adversaries and journalists, a comparison rejected by prominent republicans. >> i don't think there is any equivalency between the way the russians conduct themselves and the way the united states does. >> ohio governor john kasich tweeted, there is no equivalence with the brutal regime of vladimir putin. wyoming congresswoman liz cheney called the president's suggestion deeply troubling and wrong. and one of the challenges for republicans, richard, is that they are dealing with this issue of the president being critical of a specific judge and the cour

this is about trump versus trump and trump versus facts. and it sets a collision course. what will president trump do when his own national security experts present him with facts he doesn't like? white house aides are still working on that new revised travel ban. will they listen to dhs explain why the seven countries in their old ban are not top threats for immigrant attacks. and let's remember trump says he likes his new head of dhs. >> our new and brilliant leader at dhs, general john kelly. general kelly, by the way, has done a fantastic job. fantastic. general kelly, we have great, great people. general kelly now secretary kelly. he's really doing the job. you're seeing it. >> doing the job. well, this is part of the job. here are the facts. breaking news tonight from general kelly's dhs, a memo that was leaked to the ap. fact number one. restricting immigration solely by citizenship unlikely to predict terror attacks. fact two. the largest source of terror attacks in the u.s. are american citizens, not foreign immigrants. three, most of the countries that have sent

he took out a full page ads essentially condemning trump's immigration policies and never mentioned trump's name, but it looked like an anti-trump statement. so some of these executives are kind of sissies about trump are they not? >> well, i think they're bul bullied by the loud mouth faction of their employees. there's always been on the trump side a market for popular views, nascar, country music, college football. i could go on and on. what's the most popular cable news network. david: i love that wink. thank you for that. but, bruce, on the other hand you have-- just this week, burlington coat factory came out and said they're going to drop ivanka products, so the anti-ivanka stuff is continuing. >> i suppose. i mean, it all depends on what's in the news. the grammys will give an up-tick in sales to people who are not even well-known. what i'm going to be watching for to see if red box rentals and digital downloads from russia with love start to pick up, given what's going on in the white house. david: john, you are always talking about how the marketplace is 300 million strong marketp

>> anderson, here's what donald trump has done. he's not only attacked the american judiciary, he's set a litmus test, in fact, a set of litmus tests that his nominee has to be quote pro-life end quote, quote very pro second amendme amendment, and quote a conservative. and having set those lit mutt tests now this nominee has a very unusual maybe unique obligation to show his independence and he's failed to do so so far. >> senator, can i ask you a little about what you learned if anything about judge gorsuch's judicial philosophy? is he pro-life? will he vote to overturn roe v. wade? does he believe there's a right to privacy in the constitution? >> he avoided explicit or direct answers to those questions as well, a important as his answers on the independence of the american judiciary and his coming to the defense, equally so are his commitment to privacy rights, which he did not explicitly state, his commitment to roe v. wade, which is well established, long accepted precedent. he says he has a respect for precedent but is unwill

donald trump i wasn't a big fan of donald trump. but he has the right to appoint cabinet members who reflect his views and philosophies and that's what he did with her. >> the word generosity i don't think i would use for this. donald trump said he was going to drain the swamp. kennedy: who single handedly fund the new york city ballet. >> i think that was part of the stand against her that she was just. >> the republican donor type which is a huge factor. >> i feel bad for joe biden. 8 years as vice president, he didn't once get to cast a tie-breaking vote. kennedy: the failed indiana governor who wasn't going to ascend to the gubernatorial mansion. president trump has a response to the claims he's too cozy with putin. he tweets, i don't know putin. but obama can make a deal with iran in terror, no problem. bill: putin is a killer. >> we have a lot of killers. you think our country is so innocent? kennedy: republican and democrat lawmakers have cop out against what president obama said saying it was wrong to make moral equivalencie

>> president trump: i do. >> bill: why? >> president trump: i respect a lot of people. that doesn't mean i'm going to get along with him. he's a leader of his country. i say it's better to get along with russia then nods. will i get along with him? i have no idea. >> bill: he is a killer, though. putin is a killer. >> president trump: there are a lot of killers. do you think our country is so innocent? >> bill: i don't know of any government leaders that are killers in america. >> president trump: take a look at what you have done too. we've made a lot of mistakes. i've been against the war in iraq from the beginning. a lot of people were killed. a lot of killers around, believe me. >> bill: you mentioned isis. can we expect, we the american people, more u.s. military action against isis? >> president trump: i hate to be evasive, but i don't like talking openly about it. i can say this, isis is bad. they are evil. they cut off heads of christians and muslims and anybody else that gets in their way. they drown people in a steel cages. this is not since the medieval times

that's right, trump mosun. we want to show our appreciation to america for what they're doing for our boy, that's why we named him trump. then, despite being initially approved, early in january, their visas were revoked. they were in iraq. two yearly dillabrine was in the united states. his father said they didn't give us visas because they thought we would go there and stay. we want to finish our son's treatment and then return home. cnn did reach out to the state department for comment and are told, quote, we are not able to discuss the details of any visa case. then things got even worse. >> i'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the united states of america. >> reporter: president trump likely made it impossible that his namesake, along with mom and dad, will travel to the united states anytime soon. >> that's what we're afraid of, is they have to wait 90 days, and he doesn't have that. he needs his surgery as soon as possible. >> what's the sentiment or the emotion
