and that apology is not accepted. >> is there anything she can't do? she is so good. >> i hope that gave you a smile there. make great memories today. "inside politics" with jon king starts now. a very busy first two weeks. a judge blocks president trump's travel pan. >> we're very happy about that. >> also early cracks in republican unity. >> i don't want any additional spending on anything. >> on the stage.
5:01 am
>> good start or rough start, that is a debate, but he is different. >> i want to just pray for arnold. >> the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. >> welcome inside politics. after losing last night when trying to restore the controversial travel ban. that comment from the president last night, but his attacks on a judge who ruled against him have republicans cringing. he is keeping most of his big promises but it will take more than the stroke of a pen.
5:02 am
another early lesson, trying to sort through blunt talk, conflicting tweets and messages. >> get with the program or they can go. >> the competing power centers are fascinating from daughter ivanka, to steven bannon. >> it is a stunning thing that a white supremacist, bannon, would be a permanent member of national security council. >> jewelly pace of the associated press. it is super bowl sunday. i make no secret where i stand. but the fan has to wait. it is a first for president
5:03 am
trump, and on this day, he will share his views on vladimir putin and throws the red, white, and blue under the bus. >> do you respect putin? >> i do, why? >> i respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean i'm going to get along with them. he is a leader. >> putin is a killer. >> we have a lot of killers, you think our country is so innocent? >> let trump be trump is what supporters say. break out the laptop or the smart phone, let's make this a presuper bowl do it yourself fact check. you can look online at carnage because of russian war plains.
5:04 am
last night they called the president's remarks dilutional and dangerous. jim sciutto says the president's remark is as bizarre as it is untrue and it wasn't the only eye popping thing he said yesterday. i have been here since the final months of the reagan administration and i cannot recall an american president equating the united states, especially this behavior, can you imagine if two weeks into his administration president obama said this? >> you remember the outcry when he traveled around and talked about things that were not so great. he would take about slavery and
5:05 am
missteps in the iraq war, and they called it the apology tour. and what was so striking about what president trump said here is this is a line that you hear from putin sometimes. he will say, you know, why does the u.s. hold themselves above everyone else. you see president trump essentially buying into that line. >> no one is claiming that he is perfect, but in the con dex of what we see, what we have seen in syria, i'm waiting to see this -- you roam the hills on capitol hill all of the time, i see john mccain's head popping off, but what about other republicans who are trying to be loyal, but something like this has to strike them as appalling. >> after last weekend's appalling moves on the travel
5:06 am
ban and other things, they went from being outraged to pleased by saturday. they were trying to explain what was being done. on a monday it happens all over again. we wonder how many weeks of this, this is week three, can they take of him saying these things. will we get our obama care fixes, tax reform, and these other things -- >> will they ratchet it up and point it at trump. but to say that russia is not
5:07 am
our friend some are concerned about leaving their training attacks on russia. will this change, and the leadership approach. we will probably hear the john mccain's of the world raise their concerns, but paul ryan, will he join the criticisms. it will be a real tonal. >> people they don't take is literally. you know the president will say things to deal with the debate. the reason he lost the popular vote is that three to five million undocumented flooded the pools and votes. check with your secretary of state, check online, check with your member of congress, they all think this is a crock.
5:08 am
>> there is a criticism that you say things that you can't back up factually. as a president, you say there are 3 million illegal aliens that voted, and you don't have data to back it up, some say that is dangerous. >> many people have come out and say i'm right. >> when you see illegals, people not citizens, and they're on the registration rolls been question be babies, but if you look at the registrations, there's illegals, dead people, it's a really bad situation. >> at the end, it is tratt mark trump con flating. look at the registration rolls. he says three to five million people voted has anyone with credibility come out and shown the evidence that three million people voted illegally.
5:09 am
>> no. absolutely not. as we know from covering him. some people are saying that is sort of the way he begins floating a conspiracy theory with nothing to back it up. he he said that about the president's birth ser ticertifi. he says things that distracks from what could be a very positive core promise from him. >> we have a chance to have real debates. have real debates, and instead we get down these rabbit holes.
5:10 am
>> this continues to be a problem that afflicts the president. he continues to use the word illegals, it's as offensive as it gets, and for o riley to use the term "illegal aliens." still, that kind of talk distracts and people will just hear that that that alone -- >> from are people that think you should call it out, they came in illegally, and you should continue to say that. illegals is the problem, and that will get them in trouble with immigration advocates. >> another place i thought we should take the program. the travel ban was blocked.
5:11 am
they issued is a stay which in legal term social security a block on the implement station. the president tweeted the opinion of this so-called judge is ridiculous and will be overturned. so-called judge, and you have a story on the wire right now. they called it outrageous, and the president's own lawyer said you decent that. >> it shows the limits of influence they have. they pulls this word out of a statement late on friday night. by saturday morning the president has a tweet that goes further, directly at this judge. what i think is so interesting is the president's best moments are when he announced neil
5:12 am
gorsuch, it was very traditional rollout, and democrats are now seeding on the president's words about this judge and using it as an opening. they say this proves we are dealing with a nat swrae question the. >> ghie back to tthey go back t hispanic heritage he attacks, and as a parent, the so called teacher, police, or this. there is a respect there. he sees a constitutional crisis they say this gorsuch nomination is a referendum.
5:13 am
they will hang it on the neck of gorsuch and unless he make it's clear he is independent, and not there to serve trump, democrats have to stand in the way if they have concerns. >> it is fascinating, two weeks in, judge gorshuch wrote strong rulings on executive power. everyone sit tight, more to talk about. looks can be deceiving. all of those executive actions don't mean campaign promises are being kept. and lawmakers say the darnedest things. >> thank you for still accepting
5:14 am
our refugees. >> president obama said america would accept 1200 refugees. steve, i think that was bad, was that bad? >> no, it went just according to plan. >> whose plan? >> no -- tresiba® works like my body's insulin. releases slow and steady. providing powerful a1c reduction. i'm always on call. an insulin that fits my schedule is key. ♪ tresiba® ready ♪ i can take tresiba® any time of day. so if i miss or delay a dose, i take it when i remember, as long as there's at least 8 hours between doses.

5:18 am
welcome back, obama care, the travel ban, all executive actions taken in the first two weeks. for the president, promises kept. >> on every front, we're working to deliver for american workers and families. you, the law abiding citizens of the country are my total priority. your safety, jobs, and wages guide our decisions. we're here to serve you, the
5:19 am
great and loyal citizens of the united states of america. >> action, but it's not that easy. the travel ban is tied up in the courts. replacing obama care has republicans in fits. the price tag too big for many to swallow. >> if you build a wall without using technology, individuals, drones, opt visions, you're not going to security the border. taxpayers are paying a lot of money right now. one of the biggest problems is the enforcement of existing law. >> there is no disputing the new president is up to a fast start. to that point. the conversation that we're having earlier, slow down, two weeks in, we're writing in pencil, we're not using ink right now, but the early stages can say something about the tone, especially given the deep
5:20 am
divide in the country. i was struck by your piece this week about the concept -- skepticism of the wall. you had half a dozen people on the record saying no, mr. president. >> they were very concerned about the price tag. they were unnerved because there are proposals flying around about adding to the deficit. big numbers, creating a wall, $12 billion to $15 billion, likely not to be off set by spending cuts. it is run on fiscal discipline, on the concept of pay as you go, budget cuts, adding new spending, just talking to republicans. are you concerns about the price tag? a lot said yes, i am concerned. that just shows a central campaign promise of donald trump
5:21 am
to build a wall. a lot of people do not think mexico will reimburse. >> you sign an order saying speed it up, the obama care executive action to slow it down, but you wasn't do a lot without congress voting. repair has snuck into some conversations. saying wait are you pulling a fast one on us? >> there is a miscommunication or misinterpretation of what we're saying. we want to repair the american health care system. the best way to repair it is repeal and replace obama care. it's not an either or. >> we all need editors. >> i think as we go, no one
5:22 am
would say he campaigns in poetry, but what these cheexecue orders were good for is keeping his campaign pledges. he hit health care, immigration, trade, but you're seeing that he can't just unilaterally do this. he has to go to congress on any of these issues, and that's where the challenge is. so far his outreach has not been stell stellar. he spent his vice president to the hill with a conciliatory message. he said i know there was mistakes, we'll get better. it will be tough for them to push things through. >> we're two weeks in. this does matter if you're a
5:23 am
member of congress, you can look at his ratings, only 44% approve, 53% disapprove, that's the election. if you look at it there, that is november 9th. . >> there are very few things that trump has done to reach out for those that did not vote for him. >> it goes both ways. people opposed to trump have not offered to give him a chance either. >> i'm not sure he will reach out to other people, i think he
5:24 am
enjoys having opposition on capitol hill and people in the country. i don't think we will see him doing a lot of reaching out. there are midterm prospects coming up fast. the travel ban, the wall, we'll have congress action, but he can, regulatory wise, he signed into action, we'll see what happens, but that has democrats mad at him because he says they will roll back much of thele financial regulation. consumers will get choices. >> that will be interesting to watch. it gets harder for others to understand. it was a bed rrock achievement.
5:25 am
elizabeth warren and progressives on the hill will be furious about this. the president will try to do things on obama care and the wall. those from border districts in texas and arizona. and a hudson valley in new york who at a retreat a few weeks ago said we could not go after planned parenthood. it will create thousands of new donors. it is those types of house republicans in swing districts that will be a problem for the president in all sorts of ways. it will be, those are the type of people who lose. >> you added the swing district, the conservative tee party guy.,

and my life is basketball.west, but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years. until i learned more about once-daily xarelto®... a latest-generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective. targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines.
5:28 am
xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto®. insurance changes? xarelto® has you covered. abdominayou may have ibs. ask your doctor if non-prescription ibgard is right for you. ibgard calms the angry gut. available at cvs, walgreens and riteaid.
5:30 am
we all know that old habits die hard. president obama kicked his smoking habit, donald trump's twitter addiction is still going. justifying an executive order like this one on monday -- if the ban was announced with a one-week notice, the bad would rush into the country. or attacking what he sees as a biassed mainstream media. the fake news at new york times
5:31 am
still lost. not exactly true. has it changed his pension for injecting new york attitude into stately washington? >> we had tremendous success on "the apprentice," and they hired arnold schwarzenegger to take my place, and we know how that turned out. the ratings went down the tubes and i want to pray for arnold if we can. he also said "what the hell" to his critics. that is galling, not presidential. they say that's who he is, he throws pc out out window, and that's how he got elected. what have we, your former and
5:32 am
karnt -- >> his advisors are frustrated because they worked hard. one problem that average americans have is you get the sense that when they're on stage or in public, they're not saying what they would say when they get in the car with their aides or advisors. her aides were saying if you could see her in private, she is a different and funny person. what people like with his tweeting and public pronouncements, this is who he is. when he is in the motorcade, he is saying the same stuff and they like that authenticity. >> but it is still a risk that twitter, of course you look at some of the polls, a lot of voters don't want him to
5:33 am
continue the tweets. he says he is talking to the voters, but he is talking to his voters. he thinks if he can keep his 40 plus, he is okay. can you governor with 40 plus. >> you can't get republicans reelected in 2018 for 40% approval ratings. that could lead to big democratic gains. start building a wall, make other changes, talk to iran, he is doing it. it is particularly chaotic, but you have a lot of churn and policies and proposals coming out. you're trying to work something complicated through congress. there is an art to selling that
5:34 am
to the public. you have to look at distractions. and you have to put people on your pace. how will those efforts line up with a president who can't seem to stay focused and on message. >> will twitter be used to his advantage. some people that will waiver. they will start to attack them on twitter, maybe it is a discipline tour. it could put off some folks, what will some of the key issues be when they have to. >> the world is digesting it as well. let's put the cover up there, it's not a nice thing, it's not
5:35 am
a nice characterization of the new president here, but they put on the cover steve bannon. he, the great manipulator. everyone here has done reporting on the competing factions in the add might be strags. steve bannon is clearly america first. he was in the room when the australia call was made. he said this is a bad deal taking these refugees in. you hear ivanka getting to her father because say could reverse lbgt. >> there are several ways the factions break down. nothing to see here, folks, everyone gets along. even if you accept that at face value, which you should not
5:36 am
necessarily do, another way they align is -- then it was a huge wall street fax. they come on a progressive impulse of ivanka or another advisor that pushes them to the left. >> rch sit tight, next, a trump state democrat picks a fight and an effort to replace obama care. . and now much of that same advanced technology is found in the audi a4. with one notable difference... ♪ the highly advanced audi a4, with available traffic jam assist.

5:41 am
might need democratic votes. these are ten democrats to watch closely as we go forward. all on the ballot in 2018. now if you're tammy baldwin, trump just barely won your state. maybe he doesn't have as much sway as he would like. but we move this way, look at these trump margins. they probably have to worry about the people back home. and the president's popularity. republicans have 52 votes in the senate, they need eight democrats. votes to replace obama care, this is where the president will look. the question is can the president sway them? here is how his press secretary looks at it. >> the president met with joe
5:42 am
manchin. we agree with the senator on that one. >> trump's democrats, a smart -- we said things the white house has done that are not so smart, that is a way to start the conversation if the president can hold his supporters in those states when it comes to the judge, when it comes to replacing balm care, trade deals. >> most immediately, it's the supreme court fight. in that interview on thursday he stalks about the big five. he is not dining with them on a regular basis to talk strategy and make sure they're getting the space they need, make sure he is conscious of what they need to do.
5:43 am
they have big personalities, their own siidentities, they ca work both sides of the isle. they need to give the democrats the space to do whatever they need do to help get reelected in 2018. it is a big concern. >> are groups going to give them that space. you talk to members of congress about the phones blowing off of the hook, they say they want to block trump on everything. >> i talked to senator manchin about this issue and he said he gave a stark warning to the base saying if you want to be in a "super minority." i take that very well. and this is the challenge for democrats and republicans. they have those five democrats
5:44 am
that could very well lose but this is a very liberal and progressive caucus. the energy with the elizabeth warn and bernie sanders wing. >> republicans could not block everything. they got the tea party. their base got mad, the numbers weren't there, but you had a resolve. >> yeah, up in 2018, you look to 2020, some of the ambitious democrats that want to run for president, they're getting pulled in the opposite direction. they voted against a lot of trump's cabinet nominees. you sort of wonder if these will be the votes in a democratic primary or a presidential race, where were you. you have two competing wings
5:45 am
really pulling at the senators. >> you look at 2018, the states, imagine donald trump showing up in your state, a stay he won by 30 or 40 points and have a big rally for your opponent. that is a tough landscape. >> it is tough to think about the cycle, it's a long time to 2018, but the first midterm of a new president is usually very bad for the president and the party. but senate democrats have terrible math going in and if you just look at those states, they could very well lose seats. >> the course of the economy and candidate recruitment will be the biggest -- >> shumer said if we can hold the popularity rating to around 35%, we can win the senate, if it goes into the 50s, we're in trouble. >> and the president is aware of
5:46 am
this, and one of the questions is the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell changed it, democrats have to vote to proceed. it ask a nuclear option. this is unsolicited advice. >> if we end up with gridlock, i would say if you can, mitch, no nuclear. it would be a shame if a man of this quality was caught up. i would say it's up to mitch, but i would say go for it. >> i just love, if you can, mitch, go nuclear. >> it will be hard for him to not go nuclear. he doesn't want to, he accused harry reid of doing the same thing.
5:47 am
he will element certainly have to because of that pressure. >> you live in interesting times. >> up next, our reporters usually empty their notebooks, this week, think playbook. >> jon, i'm here with some of my new friends in downtown houston. i spent three years as an atlanta falcons player even though the patriots have the best quarterback on the planet,ly tell you why my falcons have this thing. finally, this is the 51st season for the atlanta falcons, and this is super bowl li, this is the year they get it done. i love you.
