. >> we are joined live this morning from capitol hill, matt, we saw steven miller make the rounds on the morning shows, a lot of surprising claims from him across the board. >> yes, so he defended these baseless claims about voter fraud. he also talked a bit about the travel ban and claims sweeping powers for the president to make this sort of ban on immigrants from the seven countries. obviously, the court has taken issue with that, but he said, look, the president's powers here are beyond question. and we know that he impressed one audience because trump tweeted out later in the day that miller did a great job representing him on the sunday shows. so trump was certainly happy with the performance. >> talking about the travel ban, there's discussion about whether or not the white house will appeal to the supreme court. will they go back and start a new travel ban that may try to include the language of the federal court? >> so many of us were expecting them to appeal the suspension of the ban and the supreme court right away, but they have not done that yet. they have kept that on t

it reports, officials swear the speech written by steven miller and others with heavy input from potus is decidedly more upbeat than his inaugural address using timist, uplifting. politico white house correspondent, with us once again tonight. also with us once again. its the white house kept and washington bureau chief, for urban radio networks, april ryan. welcome to you both. eli, here is the question. we remember, jfk, talked about this contemporaneously for ask not. because time and space have been compacted into 32 days. already remembered as the american carnage speech. i guess it has that bar to clear? that's what they want to do. they want to give cover to republicans in congress as you noted are out there at the town halls, wearing it, hearing it from their constituents this week. who are freaked out about what they're going to do. i think the president wants to come out and wants to sort of offer a unifying vision that can maybe give the republicans some space to operate. words to the public will seem cheap right now. also to some republican whose are already frustrated with

the aide in charge of this policy, steven miller, recently pledged that the new ban will be just like the old one. >> those are mostly minor technical differences. fundamentally you're still going to have the same basic policy outcome for the country, but you're getting a response to a lot of technical issues that were brought up by the court and those will be addressed. >> mr. miller must be new at this because by admitting that they're bringing out basically the same policy he makes it more kely judges will just block the new ban just like they blocked the old on challengers barely need the aclu when they have steven miller speaking off the cuff on live tv. and that whole fight is about whether the ban is blocked while it's ultimately tested in court. let's be clear. the supreme court could uphold the ban. but legal or not, the big news tonight is about this white house reaction which does suggest something more troubling for national security, an administration that appears at this hour uninterested in the facts even when gathered by their own national security experts at dhs. join

steven miller who works in the white house, came out over the weekend directly called the u.s. attorney for brooklyn i think it was when the executive order was being challenged in court the next day. i was a senior staff, vice president quayle, never would occur to me to go around and call a u.s. attorney i guess it's legal but there are procedures in place why white house staff political appointments are not supposed to call a line of attorneys in the justice department. they seem to routinely do that sort of thing and not think much of it. i think they're asking for trouble, not legal trouble but certainly political trouble. this is my general sense for the president on down haven't internalized what it means to be in the white house, what the ethics rules are, the norms of propriety are. you're allowed to devise policy, when you should work through cabinet secretaries. they're freelancing as i said i'm not sure anything will come of that. >> quickly on the press, and enemies of the american people, we heard from john mccain speaking up very strongly and some say that's pers

challengers barely need the aclu when they have steven miller speaking off the cuff on live tv. and that whole fight is about whether the ban is blocked while it's ultimately tested in court. let's be clear. the supreme court could uphold the ban. but legal or not, the big news tonight is about this white house reaction which does suggest something more troubling for national security, an administration that appears at this hour uninterested in the facts even when gathered by their own national security experts at dhs. joining me now on this important story, washington columnist for the boston globe, nicholas khristof pulitzer prize winner from "the new york times" and malcolm nance an msnbc analyst. malcolm, what is, in your view, the context of these facts now being presented formally by the dhs to president trump? >> well, the context is very simple. you have intelligence professionals who have done a very hard core analysis using all empirical evidence based on the best available information that comes from not just dhs but multisource, many agencies contribute to t report.

i mean, steven miller created another firestorm of controversy. the media saying that the administration should stop basically blasting away at the judicial branch. they're saying that the -- you know, trying to undercut the independent checks and balances. i think steven made something like the white house shouldn't be questioned on this. what did you make of that controversy? >> yeah. look, i think differences do all the branches of the government. let's put the shoe on the other foot. what if the judges had said the president is acting he is closing our borders. they're it's statutorially correct. there ought to be due difference for the representative powers of the branches. liz: yeah, judicial review has its place. but i hear what you're saying. absolutely. while the immigration order is being hashed out, there's new data coming in about the refugees from the seven terror hot spots. here's the latest. it shows nearly three-quarters of the refugees coming into the u.s. over the last week, they came from these seven countries. even before presi

. >> what about the messaging the steve bannon/steven miller it, the nationalistic rhetoric? we heard that in the inaugural address, we are hearing it might be a different tone tonight, more unifying. at the same time there's reporting from politico the new national security adviser tried to remove the terms "radical islamic terrorist" from the speech tonight because it offends a lot of the arab and muslim world, something diplomats and military have long tried to get out of the trump rhetoric and the president and steve miller his speechwriter refused and it will be in the speech. >> that's not surprising. than language will speak directly to his base and while the overarching tone of this is going to be more national in scope and more unifying as they claim it, there will be specific areas of the speech i'm sure which will be direct appeals to the base, whether it's using terms like islamic terrorism, or something else that connects his base to the speech. i think in the end -- >> the guests for instance in the gallery, victims of crime by immigrants to try to reinforce tha

miller on television yesterday, that the president will not be questioned. this white house -- this administration has some resetting to do, to nia mallika's point, should they be looking at this as a reset? this is a lot in three weeks. >> i think a couple things, yeah, it's amazing it's only been three weeks, on top of all the executive orders he's issued to turn back legislation or to change how we do business here in the u.s. there is a time for reset, and i think the surprise, although i don't know why we are surprised about anything any more, with donald trump, is that you got to do it, and you might as well do it now. also, with michael flynn, general flynn stepping down, you have to wonder if the flood gates will eventually open where donald trump has made the first firing, basically, and could that lead to other dismissals of folks that he doesn't think are pulling their weight, there's been a lot of talk about intrigue within the white house. and intrigue among senior staff, but once you see one go, you tend to see more go. i don't think we're goin

wondering how bannon and steven miller are affecting decisions on gn foreign affairs? having read bannon's background miller's pack ground, i'm wondering, you know, how that is how it affect trump or has affected trump's decisions affairs?n host: what in the background have you found out that concerns interests you most, kathleen? caller: sort of like he's all know he is all right, look at his background, miller as like, i'm not sure what miller is, he's got this background of like right wing on foreign s approach, ationalist so then you know, it's just sort pulling in on certain also this whole ulling down regulations for doing, working with other countries, like some kind of by trump regarding surean nations and i'm not what that memo was, but i just sort of read this brief kind of about this memo that went out and i'm just wondering and se i don't like bannon i don't like miller and somehow they're in there and sitting in security, you know, on this i'm security thing and sure they've got their feelers out and foreign affairs somehow. host: all right. got your point

this morning, steven miller, senior policy adviser, made it clear that the white house gave him not much to say on mike flynn and wouldn't say whether it is a fireable offense if you mislead -- if you knowingly mislead the vice president, which ultimately i think is a personnel matter between the president, his trust with the vice president, and his trust with the national security adviser. i think ultimately, that's what this is going to be about. >> never a dull moment. >> we know flynn and pence talked on friday, trying to contain the fallout. a lot to talk about on your show. >> nine minutes. >> catch that in nine minutes with chuck, 10:30 right here after "news 4 today." don't miss it. y27mky y16fy >>> all right, mr. trump. do you have one legitimate reason we need this ban? >> of course i do. it's so simple. the bad people, they're pouring in, and you see them and it's isis and san bernardino and chicago. i mean, look at chicago. it's hell. they're bad dudes coming in here, bad hombres, bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do. >> alec baldwin at it again, back as host for this week's

he also made reference to the 31-year-old steven miller. we've passed that this weekend. he did that series of television interviews where he said the president's authority will not be questioned. so we have two problems. a narrative over here which is what's russia's involvement not just in the election which we believe they were involved in, but in this administration, and the second narrative about the president not being questioned, not answering questions, and creating this misdirection campaign as this russian story gets closer and closer to the president who we know knew about michael flynn's situation as early as january the 31st. he doesn't want to take any questions. push it to the media. push it to leaks. push it to everywhere else, and i think he's not going to be able to resist the storm that's coming toward him. >> and michael crowley, to ask you about a competitor, this new york times story, "the wall street journal" story, excuse me, about the intelligence community not sharing tactics, methods, details. you can make the case they've been weaponized, oddly

. >> kasie hunt is standing by watt the white house, kasie on the travel ban, steven miller, top advisor to the president, he made news last night, he was on fox news. he said of that pending second order. in terms of protecting the country, those basic policies are still going to be in effect. basically saying we're revising this it only amounts to tweaking it. given that this was rejected by a court, what's the pathway there that the administration thinks it has to come down with an order that still accomplishing the same basic thing? >> reporter: steve, you showed how sean spicer explained what's going on. we are expecting this order could come out as early as this week at some point. clearly they learned the lessons in particular at process by which this was done. the last time it was dropped unexpectedly. one it did actually come out, all of the sudden you saw -- and i was here at the white house that saturday morning as the headlines were breaking and people were detained at the airports. essentially the goal is to avoid another scenario like that. steven miller was on the phone wi

miller in the white house says it's an understatement you're in control, what they worry about is, not everything is in control. and there's such an effort to show how there may be a mind spot at the white house that need to be fixed. for those people worried about the blind spot, the things that need to be fixed, what is your words to them? >> first of all, there you go again. you're talking about some people, those people, them, they. two are those people? >> you've not heard any -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> this is what you guys do. >> let's put it this way -- on conversations you have with say speaker paul ryan and lots of other leaders on the hill, when they talk to you, do they express no concern that things at the white house are maybe a little ragged on certain issues? is it constant praise that you get on the hill? >> what we hear from people on the hill is the same thing i'm telling you. the media is obsessed with a lot of false, hollow stories without sourcing that go to cbs news.com. news.com. rise above joint discomfort with move free ultra's triple action joint support

white house policy adviser steven miller was asked yesterday if deceiving the vice president was a fireable offense. >> it's not for me to answer hypotheticals. it wouldn't be responsible. it's a sensitive matter. >> reporter: flynn's attempt to apologize has not satisfied pence or white house chief of staff reince priebus, and his status remains tenuous. scott, today the president, reading from a list provided by white house present aides, called on two members of the u.s. peace corps. neither asked about flynn. >> pelley: major garrett at the white house for us tonight. flynn was with the president dining with the japanese prime minister in palm beach, florida, this weekend, when north korea test fired a ballistic missile. guess at mr. trump's golf resort thought they witnessed the national security team deliberating in a public dining room. the white house says not so. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: shortly after the missile launch, photographs posted on social media show mr. trump's national security adviser michael flynn and chief strategist steve bannon gathered around the president

i think that there was some recklessness here, and people like steven bannon and steven miller in the white house, who are major, very influential figures for trump, i think they are realising that they are in charge of one and not three branches of government, and that there is a legislative and judicial branch and this process is playing out through the courts as it should according to the constitution. what you make of donald trump's response to james robart, describing him as a "so—called judge"? is he undermining those checks and balances in the us constitution by using this sort of language? he is attacking the independent judiciary in an unprecedented personal way. presidents are often publicly disagreeing with rulings that go against them, that is a totally normal thing, but to call someone a so—called judge and say that he is imperilling national security for upholding his interpretation of law, which is effectively doing hisjob, is something you don't normally see out of presidents. i think a lot of republicans are also worried about this, from his own party. so where is

this is a coordinated effort behind the scenes by steve bannon and steven miller and others to do this. quite frankly. reporter: is there an opportunity for you guys to work with him or are you shifting toward, let's fight this guy at every chance we can? mr. crowley: i think it remains to be seen just what happens after hell week. and how long this will continue. it's unprecedented, in my 30 years of elected office, both the state and the federal level. i've never seen a president act like this. or an administration act like this. to unsettle the american population in a way in which they have, understanding that some actually agree with the policies he's taken, and they're excited about what he's doing, so-called following through on his campaign promises, but clearly there is incredible unrest and the unnerving of many within america. i would suggest even in his own party, as reflected by senators mccain and graham and others and 24 republicans in the house and the senate who disagree with the ban on muslims. the anxiety level is incredibly high. in this country. unnecessarily. and

miller, it is clear the trump administration wants a full-on fight. he said, he reiterated the position they had taken in the ninth circuit that the president's action in this area are beyond review. that will get the attention of all judges, especially someone like judge gorsuch. >> and the attorney general of washington, he said he can't wait because he wants to depose the administration officials and even left the door open to deposing president trump. >> that might be hard to get a president to subject to a court order to come and testify, it would cause major separation of powers and federalism issues. but we are in a brnd new world when it comes to this president in so many areas and in particular, as you interview demonstrated, in constitutional law. >> we are certainly facing that. only three weeks into the presidency so far. and the president had three weeks and a couple of days has been president, working mostly by executive order, executive action in these first three weeks as the congress begins to focus on obamacare and tax cuts as well.
