basically this was a tough meeting with nikki haley. she went with the president and went to the protection camp for certifica certificate civilians and they started chanting, silva is a killer, down with silva ker. but also cheering welcome president trump. president trump welcome. and there were signs praising president trump calling him, you know, a mediator, someone who cared about hue hand rights. these people looking for the united states to do something about this brutal conflict. nikki haley heard stories from women about them being their children being thrown in fires. being killed forced to drink the blood of enemy forces. it was really horrific stories that she heard, brooke, and she was hear to tell president ker to cut out the violence or the u.s. would have to rethink support for him. >> i have a dear friend living in south sudan and trying to help in the mission and he was forced outi as well. i'm sure you are able to go along. elise lab b elise labott thank you so much. >>> coming up next here on cnn a rock tossed from a

tell us what nikki haley shared with you. >> well, brooke, it's been an incredible week with nikki haley. we've traveled to parts we haven't traveled before. she went to ethiopia to south sudan to look at the conflict there. then we've been throughout congo visiting dispoliced people stuck in a camp they can't leave because violence surrounding them. and nikki haley said she came here to africa to get a firsthand look at how these nations with conflict and instability, with humanitarian disaster, can become a breeding ground, if you will for terrorist groups. and in fact she's come here to prevent the next situation where we found in niger where u.s. serviceman was killed where threatening the united states. take a listen to secretary -- excuse me to ambassador nikki haley. >> you know, you said -- you made the argument why africa is important to americans. you have to solve these problems before they erupt. because we could be looking at the next conflict zone that is going to turn into a safe haven for terrorists. and we have seen that happen in other places too. >> you know, it's so i

general assembly seemed over the top for nikki haley. she did a star turn that week. >> although the mike pence comment in the story where the vice president had to essentially chastise the spokesperson for tillerson for saying, i didn't say that and he said he speak out of turn, there's an appearance of tension between nikki haley and mike pence apparently. >> that comment in this whole strange story -- >> i'm thinking entreprenenew h 2024, for haley when i hear pence. >> pompeo in terms of policy fit, a distinctive being with the president, easy to imagine that. he would speak for the president in a broader way tillerson can't. >> speak quickly to this issue, you can have an acting hhs secretary and not worry if you're going to make a change at the state department it has to be fairly deliberate before you make the change? >> absolutely. the president does have the ability to put someone in an acting position confirmed by the senate. he doesn't have to stick within -- >> could he make pompeo, he could make pompeo acting because he's be

that's something. >> i'm fully intact. >> nikki haley say member of this cabinet. she's going to be here in washington today. she's very involved in these national security discussions and very involved in the drama that's taking place behind the scenes and trying to figure out this president's response to issues like north korea and the iran deal. she's front and center in that mix so she may not physically be in d.c., she may not be the one that everybody's gossiping and speculating about all the time but she's in the middle of this. >> then evan, what's your thought here? for nikki haley to say i want to stay away from the drama, there's zero chance that's true. >> she wants to publicly stay away from the trump. and she wants to have that distance because washington itself -- >> but she doesn't have that distance. >> on paper she does. and i think that's the perception she's trying to playup. nikki haley is intimately involved in this administration's foreign policy and she has to be by virtue of her position. she was involved in syria and our response to gassin

why did nikki haley go there? talk about the protest that occurred there. dispatchedley was they're basically as the result of a speech last month that president trump gave to african leaders at the united nations. it was a very tone deaf speech wherere he and fact lauded the achievements of an african country that doesn't exist, nambia. in the speech, he also mentioned that there were conflicts in the democratic republic of congo and especially south sudan that needed tending to that he was dispatching nikki haley to do something about it. what it was was never exactly clear. she was on something of a fact-finding mission. she met with south sudananese refugees in ethiopia. as you mentioned, she went to one of these protection civilian sites in south sudan where there had been internal -- internally displaced people basically stranded there for years since the civil war broke out in 2013. things got heated and she was escorted out of the camp. amy: so explain the situation in south sudan. >> in december 2013, the president a south sudan launched and ethnic

haley had earlier met the president to discuss ways to end the four year civil war that's displaced millions of people have the morgan reports from juba. the united states backed south sudan when it became independent after a friend of mine twenty eleven but for more than three years now south sudan has been locked in a civil war the us ambassador to the un nikki haley hopes to convince president salva kiir to make peace i didn't come here to talk i came here to basically say the time for action is now we're not waiting anymore we need to see a change and we need to see it right away and there's nothing that they can say at this point we have lost trust in the government and we now need to regain that trust and the only way to regain that trust is through the actions of taking care of all of the people present here is the president of everyone not just one tribe not just one group fighting broke out in south sudan in twenty thirteen when president here accused his former vice president riek machar of a coup a peace agreement supported by the us was signed in ten to fifteen but there

on this speech what do you think my life may be nikki haley speech for new york and speechwriters had a finger in it but i seriously doubt whether nikki haley the former real estate account zelman the whole said to r t the nikki haley's experience in foreign affairs was a few visits to the international house of pancakes as i might use for i wish i had said. that's a great that might be stretching it but this speech was obvious. bellicosity it does more than just question the u.s. is reliability as a partner europe had an eight year honeymoon with obama and to be fair if this was hillary clinton leading this decertification they would probably be getting in line for it but if trump and they need to be rove they're reminded again after george bush now again with trump that every four years they face the prospect of being. stuck with a us that they simply can't at least values wise align with but more than that this is a big threat once again the us is the world's biggest problem with anti-proliferation nuclear proliferation efforts around the world they keep sabotaging this again we sa

nikki haley has said one thing and the president has said something else. you speak to diplomats in other countries it's very clear that people look and see what the president says and wonder if it's true and then run around and talk to the cabinet secretaries and their staffs to find out what the real policy is. >> robert costa, let me bring you in and ask you, one of the things i heard really irritated this white house was the reporting on the notion that tillerson was asked to review nikki haley's job performance. i heard from two white house sources they found that particularly offensive. i wonder, one if you heard any rumblings about that and, two if you have any assessment about how nikki haley ends up staying in the president's good graces, even though she parts with him sometimes, while tillerson seems to have really no running room to ever disagree with the president. and when he does, he gets called out on twitter almost immediately. >> ambassador hailey has become a popular figure in this administration. that's not to question nbc's reporti repor

well daryn let's remember that first of all nikki haley is about the house she is the highest u.s. official to visit down from the company's creation and this visit comes after u.s. seems to be taking a slightly tougher stance on south sudan and a previous obama administration in september or two government officials and one former chief of staff has been sanctioned by the u.s. government and they've threatened to withdraw eight u.s. contributes about more than seven hundred million dollars annually in aid to eight organizations here in south sudan and we're talking about a country that relies heavily on aid more than six million people have the population rely on humanitarian assistance and nikki haley made it very clear that she's she's going to talk to the president in fact she already did and she made it very clear that she's the she's that she's going to stress on humanitarian action as access is going to stress on protecting aid workers eighty two aide workers have already been killed in south sudan's conflict and more than a dozen have disappeared or have been abducted so sh

ambassador nikki haley. the story citing a senior administration official who says when it comes to the issue of north korea, nikki haley is seen as the most effective doip in that crisis. quote, rex hates her. he bleeping hates her. i want to get your thoughts. are you hearing anything like that from your reporting and your sources? >> yeah. there's been a sense that rex tillerson has been looking over his shoulder at nikki haley for quite some time now. i point to an interesting line in an nbc report this week, that the secretary's own spokesperson had volunteered that, i guess mike pence had asked nikki haley, or rex tillerson how he thinks nikki haley is doing, sort of volunteered that on the record to a news outlet, a very unusual shot at a top official in the administration, so there's a real clear sign that there's tension there. haley's been talked about as a natural replacement for tillerson. >> unfortunately, we're out of time to discuss it. thank you guys for joining us this saturday afternoon. >>

ambassador nikki haley says that if the u.s. isn't careful, we could face a security threat here at home from extremists in africa. coming up, hear from the ambassador as she finished up her three-nation tour. k on audi. and this guy is just trying to get through the day. this guy feels like he can take on anything. this guy isn't sure he can take it anymore. unwavering self-confidence. stuck in a 4-door sedan of sadness. upgrade your commute. ride with audible. dial star star audible on your smartphone to start listening today. they always refer to me as master sergeant. they really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on very quick very prompt. i feel like we're being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life. usaa, get your insurance quote today. will people know it means they'll get the lowes

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley. thanks for joining us. the german foreign minister said yesterday he believes decertifying the deal puts us more on a path toward war. echoing president obama's comments. how do you respond? >> iran is not saying death to germany. they're saying death to america. you have to look at the fact that this is not talking about the deal. this is talking about u.s. law. and what u.s. law says is every 90 days, you have to re-evaluate and see if it's still doing and still proportionate from what it was supposed to be. you look their support of terrorism. the ballistic missile test. you look at all that they're doing with arms sales and all that, they are not proportionate to what the concessions that we gave them. it's something we can make better. >> you have had the president's military advisers saying iran has been complying with the deal. let's take a look. >> do you believe it's in our national security interest at the present time to remain in the jcpoa? that's a yes or no question. >> yes, senator. i do. >>

and so you have someone like nikki haley who is a talented speaker. she's been effective in her role as am bos dobassador. nothing will prevent president trump from undermining or undercutting his own secretary of state on any given date whether it's through twitter or whether in remarks somewhere. so that i think will fundamentally alter how other countries see the united states as well as the role of the secretary of state over the next four to eight years. >> we know president trump is paying attention to this. we know it because the president is just tweeting again specifically about this story. specifically about nbc news. and specifically about the remarks that secretary tillerson just made. the president says the story has been totally refuted calling it fake news. let's just point out a couple of critical issues here. secretary tillerson did not refute directly that he, in fact, called the president a moron in earshot of others. the secretary didn't refute that. the secretary also did not refute that he perhaps threatened to resign, only sayin

nikki haley hopes to convince president salva kiir to make peace i didn't come here to talk i came here to basically say the time for action is now we're not waiting anymore we need to see a change and we need to see it right away and there is nothing that they can say at this point we have lost trust in the government and we now need to regain that trust and the only way to regain that trust is through the actions of taking care of all of the people present here is the president everyone not just one tribe not just one group fighting broke out in south sudan in twenty thirteen when president here accused his former vice president riek machar of a coup a peace agreement supported by the us was signed in ten to fifteen but there was more violence less than a year later forcing my charge to flee the country in september this year the u.s. sanction to government officials and the former military chief of staff put the reeling the peace process but south sudan's government now says it's ready to work for a deal. the president also assured her actual into the ambassador that the government w

it is the same thing for africa. >> nikki haley on her toughest mission to date. going head to head with african strong men in south sudan and con congo. >> i know what they're capable of and what they're not capable of, so when they start to talk about what they don't control, i remind them they do. >> and reminding them the misery they're cause ng their countries could produce the next terrorist haven to launch attacks against the u.s. after the ambush in niger that killed four american soldiers. in syria, a new u.n. report found president assad repeatedly used chemical weapons. sarin and mustard gas, against his people. >> that is the most unconscionable act a dictator can do. >> when is the u.s. going to step up? they say that it's time for him to go. and make sure he goes. >> the united states has been very clear. there is no future for syria with assad. >> when does the future start? >> first of all, you've got russia holding their hand. so it's not as easy as saying we're going to go and take assad out. you've got russia holding their hand. basically allow

. >> from your reporting, is donald trump taking his iran advice from nikki haley and shawn hannity? >> yes, he does think highly of nikki haley, and she's a name that comes up as a possible replacement for tillerson. and this is clearly a position that donald trump is eyeing to fill. everybody i talked to in and around the administration is not holding their breath that rex tillerson will be in the job in the long term. the idea he turns to outside voices for his iran policy makes complete sense. what i want to touch on quick, the way in which trump has tried to tap down the idea that he's losing control of his administration, having kelly go out for a briefing, and that fuels the idea that he wants him to quell the talk when he is struggling to deal with the points domestic and internationally. >> he has not replaced john kelly in homeland security. >> if you leave the equation with nikki haley and sean has not -- >> does she have foreign policy? >> she works closely with partners in europe, nato -- >> you think she would be perfectly suited to give advice -- as the iran whisperer.

ambassador nikki haley. these names are everywhere. >> and that has got to make secretary tillerson's job even more difficult. it's no fun working at the state department right now from the top on down. but then think about that. yes, we already have two vacancies. if you use either pompeo or haley in this position, who becomes the next c.i.a. director, the next u.n. ambassador? you have confirmation fights. meanwhile, north korea is still a threat. meanwhile, we still have to deal with what the decision is going to be on this nuclear authorization of the iran deal. it's a tough time right now. and it's tough to recruit people to this administration. >> and erica, just to close this out, this whole experience, watching the secretary of state this week, its indicative of how you don't have a personal rapport with this president, you're probably in trouble? >> that's absolutely right. with tillerson as well, as you'll recall, back to when he initially got confirmed, he had trouble winning the hill over. and th

public, then he doesn't certify it. >> >> is public: possible nikki haley tipped the administration's hand yesterday, praising tom cotton's understanding of the iranian regime. cotton met with the president today and has repeatedly called for the administration to abandon the deal. >> frankly that deal is an endorsement to the united state united states, and i don't think you've heard the last of it. believe me. >> two weeks ago, the president called the iran deal in embarrassment but experts warn that doesn't mean he's any more likely to abandon the accord or have the final say on it. stick out the final decision will go back to the congress under the terms of the corker legislation. and it would give congress 60 days to make a decision about how to respond to the president's decision. that presumably the agreement is not in u.s. national interest rates stick with plenty of criticism on capitol hill in particular if the president were decide to pull out of the deal, jack reed, senator from rhode island, democrat, think it would be a costly strategic mistake for the u.s. he said it wo

nikki haley about that later in the program. first, executive orders. they stop the subsidies to health insurers that help low-income americans afford their coverage. that could cause premiums to jump by 25%. the deficit takes a hit. more people will lose coverage. about 7 million americans benefit directly from the subsidies. many more will feel the squeeze. a point hammered home by nevada's republican governor. it's going to hurt kits, families, individuals. it's going to hurt people with mental hemt issues. it's going to hurt veterans. it's going to hurt everybody the. after his one-two punch, the president invited democrats to fix what he's breaking. >> the democrats should come to me. i would even go to them, because i'm only interested in one thing. getting great health care for this country. >> we're joined by democratic thank you for joining us. you heard the president. he wants to talk. will you? >> i think we're a little far down the road for that. before we go into him and that this sunday morning, we have to be prayerful for what schaaping i

you have also got tillerson disparaging or at least weighing in on nikki haley's job performance. i had held out the national security team as sort of a bright spot, an oasis in an otherwise kchaotic, dysfunctionl administration. are they just better at hiding it? >> yeah. they had a stronger immune system i think but they are starting to get infected by the chaos disease that's run through the west wing. you know, there's the old saying it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. so there is something kind of satirical about this that's actually incredibly reminiscent of an episode of "veep" or something. you can't believe the secretary of state is having to go out and address reports that he called the president a moron. if john kerry had maybe just used a kind of lukewarm descriptor for barack obama, we would be talking about it for days. like daylight between kerry and obama, this is amazing. here you have the secretary of state not even denying he called the president a moron. but i go back to it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. unfortunately, what's laying be

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley. welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you. good morning. >> let me start with the nuclear deal and what the president has proposed. defense secretary mattis said he believed the iran deal was in the national security interest of the united states. chairman of the joint chiefs, general dunford says iran is complying with the deal. are they wrong? reports indicate that you have been advocating what the president did more strongly really than anybody else in the administration. why are they wrong and you're right about this? >> they're not wrong. when you talk about compliance, that is with the international agreement that was supposedly made. what we're talking about is all of the factors that go into u.s. law. u.s. law asks every 90 days for the president to decide is it still proportional for the threat. and when you look at the threats and you look at the fact that they're the number one state sponsor of terrorism, you look at the ballistic missile tests they condition, you look at the arm sales, you look at all the trouble t

nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. is the cabinet rank official, but she needs to be working with rex tillerson hand and glove. and there have been separations in public messaging on core issues. that only feeds into the questioning about positioning to succeed him at the state department. >> sabrina, given the push-back that we have heard from the state department on this nbc news reporting, seems kind of likely that's what rex tillerson is about to do. >> yes, i think you have seen from a lot of trump cabinet officials who found themselves in trouble, more of a dear leader approach as you might call it. but i think one thing that rex tillerson faces by way of a challenge is, unlike other cabinet officials, he doesn't have a lot of allies in washington. it's easy to forget that he had a very contentious confirmation hearing and was narrowly confirmed by the senate. it was 56-43. he received the most no votes in senate history for any secretary of state. so unlike, for example, when there was a very public feud between

ambassador nikki haley now thanks for mentioning her political report it that nikki haley was the key force behind trans the ron paul a c do you agree with that assessment well you know to call nikki haley the author of anything requires some examination because she herself is authored by neocons she has no foreign policy experience i've called her the pancake lady before because her foreign policy experience is limited to eating out at the international house of pancakes when she was governor of south carolina so the neo cons of essentially rick rented the space in her brain and sheldon adelson the pro israel billionaire las vegas casino baron that i mentioned before actually donated two hundred fifty thousand dollars straight into nikki haley's campaign coffers last year so the influence on her is enormous from the neoconservatives then you have john bolton bombs away bolton someone who helped direct negotiations with north korea in the bush administration has pushed for war with iran i actually ran into john bolton at the dulles airport nearby and started a quick conversation with

haley had earlier met the president to discuss ways to end the four year civil war that's displaced millions of people it but morgan reports now from juba. the united states backed south sudan when it became independent after a friend of mine twenty eleven but for more than three years now south sudan has been locked in a civil war the us ambassador to the un nikki haley hopes to convince president salva kiir to make peace i didn't come here to talk i came here to basically say the time for action is now we're not waiting anymore we need to see a change and we need to see it right away and there is nothing that they can say at this point we have lost trust in the government and we now need to regain that trust and the only way to regain that trust is through the actions of taking care of all of the people present here is the president of everyone not just one tribe not just one group fighting broke out in south sudan in twenty thirteen when president kiir accused his former vice president riek machar of a coup a peace agreement supported by the us was signed in twenty fifteen but th

ambassador nikki haley. >> ambassador: if he thinks the situation is not in the best interest of the american public, then he doesn't certify it. >> reporter: it's possible that hayley tipped the administration 's hand in a tweet yesterday, praising arkansas senator tom cotton's clear understanding of the iran regime cotton who met with the president today in the oval office has repeatedly called for the administration to abandoned deal. >> president trump: frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the united states and i don't think you've heard the last of it, believe me. >> reporter: two weeks ago the president called the iran deal an embarrassment but experts warn that doesn't mean he's any more likely to abandon the accord or have the final say on it. >> the final decision would go back to the congress under the terms of the cardin legislation and give congress 60 days to make a decision about how to respond to the president's decision that presumably the agreement is not in u.s. national interest. >> reporter: as you can well imagine there's plenty of criticism on capitol hill

they also vowed to continue the missile program that nikki haley was critical of as well. yesterday identithe leader came and said u.s. is very angry because iran is winning specifically in places like syria and iraq. we saw president trump come out last friday saying he wants to curtail. we've seen that in the past couple of days in the -- iranians saying they're going to continue that and the missile program and also say they're going to stay in the nuclear agreement despite some of the rhetoric comes from the united states, but also calling specifically on the europeans to be by their side. they believe it's america that is actually isolating itself in this matter. they do say the nuclear agreement is in jeopardy but for now they want to stay in. the overarching message is right now look we are winning here in the middle east and america is losing. >> it would appear a don fron tati confrontation on the horizontal. >>> there was talk of leak, it will impact ted cruz's dry cleaning bill. after an animated exchange between sessions and democratic senator al franken, it wa

nikki haley has proven herself, i have not problem with her. but till irson, er son i have ne right now. remember he said, i'm not going to recertify, he said, and i may pull us out of this altogether. that is what i recommended. this deal has to be killed in the interest of national security. lou: turn to travel ban. the same district court judge in hawaii lifts his ugly legal head ahead, and blocks a president carrying out his duties too duto protect the nation. >> this is a farce, this is say joke, the laws have been clear and reiterated there is one individual who gets to decide who comes in and what standards based on national security. we vet those individuals it not a judge in hawaii or 9 district circus in san francisco, if is president of united states, and clear that supreme court shares that opinion and immigration moratorium will stand. lou: and one other development today, i want to take up with you, if i may, that is -- >> a big "newsday." lou: it is. we're getting it all covered. the fbi letting us know, that there was an investi

if you have pompeo move over or nikki haley move over, you've moved the empty seat from one cabinet c to another. the kind oft know chaos we have seen in the first 10 months is something that a lot of people who are not already part of the administration can stomach3 . marty: thanks to you both. shery: we have to go to breaking department has. jets were sold 80% below fair market value. we knew that the commerce department was backing boeing, an american exporter and sole producer of commercial airlines. they recommended a enormous tariff on sales of the canadian bum barnier -- bum bombardier. --y are proposing eliminate they're proposing duties on those jets which are below fair market value. of canada isu visiting donald trump next week so that will be a subject of discussion. shery: we will keep a close eye on those breaking headlines as we get them. for now, let's get a check of the market. we are seeing the benchmarks going into the red. abigail doolittle has the latest. abigail: we have small declines for the major averages. pause from the bullish momentum we have seen recently.
