republican. former secretary of state madeline albright and stephen hadley. then we'll tagckle the lega dimensions of the travel ban. is it constitutional? will it go all the way to the supreme court? slurs and desecration. anti-semitism seems to be on the rise in europe and the united states. i will talk to france's bernard about what he is witnessing and why it's happening. but first here's my take. after his spat with mexico, after the travel ban, last week donald trump did something unexpected. he be ut put in place a policy i agreed. he placed a smart check on federal regulations. i agree in the main with some important points of his program,
7:02 am
tax reform, infrastructure investment, deregulation, civil service reform. the larger question i keep asking myself is does donald trump want someone like me to agree with him? the trump white house has decided the best way to deal with any institution that might stand in its way is to try to delegitize it. the president says the media is now the opposition party. his chief strategist urges the media to keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while, unquote. sean hannity, the fox news host who has become an unofficial spokesman for the white house describes the media as a bunch of overpaid, out of touch lazy millionaires that has nothing but contempt for the people that make this country great. if we are to listen to america, almost three million more americans did vote for hillary clinton than for donald trump.
7:03 am
as for which of these groups makes america great, i'm not sure what criteria to use, but if it's generating wealth and contributing to the gdp, it's not even close. t the 500 counties won by hillary clinton produced 64% of economic output while the 2,600 counties produced by trump produced 36% of gdp. the much maligned urban elites may be out of touch but they still pay its bills. they compared how much each american state contributed with the funds they received from washington. the basic pattern is simple. it's blue states, which voted against trump in 2016 that fund the red states that voted for him. this is not the way i think we should look at america. we're living through times in which economics and technology separate us. some people in places prosper
7:04 am
while others languish. the goal should be to use politics as a mechanism to bring us together through good public policy and enlighten public discourse. the truth is there's no real americans and fake americans, just americans. there is real news and fake news. most presidents begin their tenure by trying to reach out to their political opponents signaling they want to represent those that didn't vote for them as well as those that did and try to bring the country together. donald trump has made almost no effort in this regard. simply asserting that the country was divided before he was elected and absolving himself of any responsibility for unifying it. the challenge for the media must be to ensure that we don't mirror trump's own attitude of hostility. we cannot absorb and reflect that negativity. we are not the opposition. we are a private institution
7:05 am
explicitly protected by the constitution that's meant to hold government accountable and to provide real information to the citizenry. i hope to do that in a trump tenure. along the way, when i have to, i will disagree vigorously with the president. just as important, when warranted, whether he likes it or not, i will agree with him. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my washington post column this week, and let's get started. on a friday night james robart temporarily blocked president trump's executive order. in response, donald trump, of course, tweeted. the opinion of this so-called
7:06 am
judge, that essentially takes law enforcement away from our country is ridiculous and will be overturned. as it turns out, not yet. overnight the nineth circuit court denied an emergency appeal by federal government lawyers to overturn the decision. what happens next? how to make sense of this mess? to discuss it joining me here in new york is a presidential historian who teaches at nyu and in washington, a constitutional law scholar. jonathan, take us through this just procedurally so we understand what's happening. as i understand it, these are federal judges but now it gets appealed where, to the full -- first they have to issue real rulings. then there has to be an appeal to the full bench of the circuit courts and then to the supreme court? take us through. >> what the nineth circuit did
7:07 am
is said we're not going to issue an emergency order that you're seeking to stay the lower court. that's not too surprising because the other side had not been heard. what they ordered was expedited argument. they told the washington state attorney general to put in his opposition in a very short period and then for the united states government to file their papers by monday. at that point, the court is prepared to rule on the merits, theoretically. this is a temporary restraining order, a tro. those are not normally appealed. those types of things are disfavdi disfavored. it's possible for the court to say we don't want to rule on this letter. because this is such a matter of great national importance, the court could reach the merits.
7:08 am
roba a robart's decision could be reviewed without a written opinion. >> let us understand it procedurally. that would be a circuit reviewing a federal judge's opinion. at that point does it go to -- i guess i'm trying to get at is how soon could this get to the supreme court and is that inevitable? >> depends on the parties. they could try to appeal from the panel decision or instead of going for the inbank, they could go directly to the supreme court. depends on which party the loser is on the appellate stage. because it's a tro, it's a bit odd. this is normally not the course that an appeal takes. they could seek a fill court in front of the nineth circuit if they lose or go directly to the supreme court. that's obviously going to happen very quickly. the nineth circuit judges gave both parties a very, very small window to file with them so they can look at this and render a
7:09 am
decision. >> tim, what do you make just politically of the president of the united states tweeting in response to this judge's decision? >> every presidency starts with problems. there's always course corrections. the really great presidents are the ones who make it seem like the mistakes were made by other people. by tweeting, as he does, president trump is taking away from himself the firewall, the mystery, the aloofness that has helped his predecessors skirt responsibility. it's hard to predict him. he may find himself regretting the fact he's always removing the plausible deniability. the fact the u.s. military
7:10 am
pushes back about torture and water boarding and then he tweets he still believes in torture. the fact that the independent judiciary pushes back and he goes against the judge, attacks the judge. if he's not careful, he's going to find himself with a king lere problem where he is ranting and raving against the weather and seems to have no control over the actual policies followed by his administration. >> i think about the first point you made. you look at president eisenhower or president reagan, they had this teflon appeal but partly because they had this sense of aloofness and they could blame any bad decision. that was bad advice i got. >> ronald reagan, he had an almost unworkable white house system where you had three chiefs of staff, baker, dever and meeks. he managed and had trouble with his budget director and yet he managed to convey the sense of
7:11 am
confidence and leadership despite the course corrections. despite the mistakes in first year of government. that's where we get the term teflon president. trump has to be careful because if he continues to act this way and has tantrums, public tantrums on social kblemedia, i will be hard to explain that the corrections aren't anything against his own wishes. if it looks like he's losing his own battles inside the administration, he looks weak and incompetent. >> fascinating. stay with us. we'll talk about the substance and merits of the case but also does this all remind you of a president named richard nixon and his uses of power? tim was the former director of the nixon presidential library. we'll tell us. hey! we're doing ! taking off with me! hwe'll tell us. e'll tell us. to its feet. ng m you missed it buddy. (rich) why does he do it? for glory? notoriety?

7:14 am
hey, ready foyeah. big meeting? >>uh, hello!? a meeting? it's a big one. too bad. we are double booked: diarrhea and abdominal pain. why don't you start without me? oh. yeah. if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi, a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both diarrhea and abdominal pain at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have or may have had: pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a blockage of your bowel or gallbladder. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain.

(vo) try beneful healthy weight with chicken. with real chicken as the number one ingredient.
7:16 am
we're back with tim and jonathan turley. jonathan, i want to ask about the merits of this case. you with or the show last week. your basic argument is the president had broad authority to limit immigration. when i looked at it, what i'm struck by is the federal governments argument, the trump administration's argument seems to derive from a 1952 statute. it seems to me that congress passed the immigration and na naturalization act to override that 1952 law and say you cannot discriminate on people on the basis of their nationality. you can't have a blanket hold on a category of people like that.
7:17 am
this executive order does seem unlawful in that sense. why doesn't the aclu have a strong case? >> there's compelling arguments on both sides. please keep in mind even if a single provision is struck down by a federal court, there's long standing doctrine that they have to minimize a degree that they set aside executive order. the law does still favor president trump. a judge in boston seemed to reach that same conclusion. we have a division between these two courts. the problem with the 1965 law is that it really doesn't override the 1952 law. what it was meant to do is get rid of numerical quotas that favored europeans. it did note that you cannot
7:18 am
discriminate on the basis of nationality. the problem is threefold. the law has no applicability to refugees. it applies to visa holders. the law was amended again to say procedural changes do not fall under discrimination provisions. they crafted this as a vetting procedure change. finally, it's important to keep in mind that nonhfr citize-citi outside the country don't have standings to raise many constitutional questions. that would be a barrier for many of them. what does that mean at the end of the day? it means there's compelling arguments on both sides. i do believe that president trump has the upper hand in terms of the president, but it's also important to keep in mind this is procedurally a little bit wicked. a tro is not how we look at these issues on the court of appeals. >> it does feel like this is likely to go to the supreme court. tim, i want to you a point,
7:19 am
shades of nixon. it was a point that nixon said if the president does it, then it cannot be illegal. people forget nixon was a highly skilled lawyer. he was expressed this view that the president has broad latitude. >> he does in national security policy. the problem for trump is he has a unitary government theory. he doesn't recognize the three branches of government. richard nixon knew there was three. in the beginning he tried to lead while maintaining respect for the branches of government. the challenge for president trump and his team is to figure out a way to work within the american constitutional system. in the end, richard nixon couldn't. it didn't happen fast. his great crime against the constitution took about a year
7:20 am
and a half to start. >> bottom line, what does this tell us? you look at this as a historic. >> the bottom line this tell us that our institutions are strong in the united states. if this were some kind of banana republic, president trump would have no pushback from any institution. the courts would have just followed or he would have removed the judge. the u.s. military pushed back on torture. for people around the world, this is a test of our institutions and so far the american institutions have passed the test. this was a great week for the u.s. constitution. >> fascinating conversation. next, former secretary of state madeline albright. former national security advisor stephen hadley assess the first two weeks of president trump's policy. the decisions, phone calls and the tweets. wireless bill. introducing t-mobile one. now with taxes and fees included.

7:24 am
7:25 am
the national security advisor under george w. bush. what do you make of this first two weeks of trump's foreign policy? what's your general reaction? >> well, i have to say, my general reaction is it's been fairly chaotic. that it's unclear in terms of what some of the bilateral diplomacy that's taken place. what the effect has been in terms of the telephone calls and also the tweeting. also, i think, in many ways, the big issue from a foreign policy perspective has been the immigration question which i have to say was not -- was really unprepared and didn't look into the unintended consequences of it and was based on untruths. i'm having some trouble with this first few days of the the trump presidency. >> steve, teething troubles or more than that?
7:26 am
>> i think the role out of some of these executive orders has not been as smooth as it should have been. the mechanics were not worked out. it's pretty clear. i think you need to step back and ask what was the trump administration trying to do. we have to recognize this was a populist movement. a political insurgency that captured the white house. we haven't had this happen before in our history. i think what they wanted to do in this first week or two is through the executive orders, roll out a set of policies that were consistent with the program on which they campaigned to send the message to those who supported the administration that they were true to their word and they really were going to shake up the situation in washington because that's what they feel they were elected to do. i think the mechanics left a lot to be desired, but i think what they were trying to do was get out the policies. send the message to the country,
7:27 am
business will be done differently and send a message to those who rallied to mr. trump's cause that they are true to the commitments and the issues that he raised during the campaign. >> madeline, lot's been said about the bans. let me ask you about the next big one strikes me as the idea of putting iran on notice. i was always taught in graduate school, two things are very expensive in international relations, threats when they fail and promises when they succeed. if you put iran on notice, what does it mean exactly? >> well, i think that's the real question. by the way, i can't visualize my friend steve hadley running into the press briefing and saying we're putting iran on notice. that's more than mechanics. i do think that the question here is what does it mean because they're talking about some more sanctions.
7:28 am
congress is also talking about that and saying nothing is off the table. i think the question is what is really meant by this, have they coordinated some plan? is it about the missile firings? where are they on the nuclear deal? a number of questions that were not answered in that rather rapid entrance by the national security advisor into the press briefing room. >> steve, do you think there's a kind of return to normalcy taking place. if you look at statement on israel, the israeli settlements, the statement is the kind of statement the white house has made for 40 years. we don't think settlement activity helps the peace process. on russia you look at nikki haley, very tough condemning russian aggression. are we now beginning to see a kind of return to normalcy or
7:29 am
consistency and foreign policy? >> well, i think we're seeing some modifications to some of the statements that were made during the heat of the campaign. i think that's been a process that's been going on for a number of weeks. president trump has modified some of his statements, particularly, about things like alliances and nato. of course his cabinet appointments have made in their confirmation statements that are in line with orthodoxy. i wouldn't go too far about that. on iran they campaigned they wanted to push back against iranian activity in the region. i think what lieutenant general flynn was doing was putting that marker down in response to that missile test that it is going to be a different attitude toward iran with this administration.
7:30 am
they began to give content to that. on the settlements it's interesting. his formulation was they're not a barrier to peace, which is a formulation they have used before and is different from what, for example, the obama administration said. then they talked about no new settlements and no expansion of existing settlements beyond build up areas, beyond their current boundaries. that is a formulation that goes back to a formula of settlements that we developed during the bush administration that the obama administration rejected, going for a much more ambitious freeze. within the context of that statement there's a suggestion of a new approach give whan we've been doing for the last eight years. i would hope a return to the approach we had under the bush administration. >> both you have stay with me. we're going to come back. next we're going to talk about
7:31 am
the fact that steve bannon now has a seat at the table on the national security council. is that appropriate for man whose job is purely political? we'll discuss that and more when we come back. the world is full of surprising moments. they're everywhere. and as a marriot rewards member, i can embrace them all. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts at members.marriott.com. whfight back fastts, with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum -tum -tum -tum smoothies! only from tums

stephen bannon, the president's chief strategist that's been wildly criticized for being white nationalist. as of last weekend he has a seat at the immensely important national security council meeting. at the same time that president trump put him on that committee, he took the same status away from the top intelligence official and the president's top military advisor. what is going on? let's bring back former secretary of state madeline albright. is it significant, this is the
7:36 am
first time, to my knowledge, that a political advisor has been placed at the table. sometimes they have sat and watched the discussion but the first time an add vvisor like t has been put at the table. >> the precedents are mixed. president bush said he departments wadidn't want carl at the meetings because he didn't want national security sdidecisions made on political considerings. mr. axelrod sat in on a variety of meetings. he didn't have a formal seat at the table but he certainly was in the room and was able to observe what was going on and comment. presidents do this differently. i think in defense of what president trump has done, mr.
7:37 am
bannon is not just his political advisor. he is his chief strategist. we need some strategy in terms of national security making. i'm less concerned about it than a lot of folks. i think it's a broad table that mr. trump has set. >> what do you make of it because it does strike me that some of the -- the actions of the administration, for example, the combative tone with australia on the issue of refugees. that does come out of steve bannon's word that the president might share. >> i have many more problems with it than steve does. i think that it's a very unfortunate image because, clearly, mr. bannon is more than
7:38 am
a strategic advisor. i think he's the person that's pulling the strings and to have him be in this kind of meeting, especially the principals meeting where there's supposed to be pre-discussion and also a real sense of respect for dissent and having people in there that are experts as for instance the chairman of the joint chiefs and the intelligence people. it depends on the fairness and stature of the national security advisor. i think the questions about how these people all relate to each other is something that's very important and very different from mr. axelrod sitting in occasionally. i think the influence generally of mr. bannon is passing strange, if i may say so, given his background and his approach to national security policy, his
7:39 am
admiration for lenon. a number of things that trouble me about him him in these all important national security meetings. >> let me ask you about the policy that comes out of this process. when you look at something like this travel ban, the temporary ban, the seven countries. among them is iraq. you know very well because you negotiated the treaty with iraq. what that means is that iraqi army that's fighting isis and allied with the united states in coordination with american advisors is being told that they cannot visit the united states. people who are putting their lives on the line to fight isis and support american foreign policy are banned from visiting the united states. that seems like a pretty screwed up policy and there surely should have been a process that you said here are general
7:40 am
objectives, but it's probably a bad idea to have a blanket ban on iraq given they are fighting right now. >> i completely agree. terrible mistake to put iraq on that. this is a group of people that fighting and dying every day to fight isis for our common security. i think it shows the problem. the problem is in opening days of administration, the only entity of government that's actually safed is the white house. you know you don't have cabinet secretaries in place. you don't have the deputy secretaries below them in place. when you do that and run it strictly as a white house operation, you're going to make mistakes. this one was a doozy. if it has been vetted around in a fully staffed state department, defense department, i can't imagine the defense department wouldn't have come in and said wait a minute. you don't want o put iraq on that list. it was clearly a mistake. no question about it.
7:41 am
it's the kind of thing you're going to have until this administration gets fully staffed and starts having a set of processes that are inclusive and includes the departments of agencies. the sooner that happens the better. >> i hope they have learned from the mistakes they made on all of this and there will be a process that does what steve has been talking about. these decisions are too important to be half managed in way and too many people lives are affected by it. the question is have they learned. i was very surprised in listening to the press briefing how proud white house is about all the actions that they took this week. i would say they should be very nervous about many of them that they took that's created fairly chaotic situation. i so hope that steve hadley's advice will be taken on how this should be done. >> you had much bigger problems with the travel ban. i saw your tweet about

volunteering to register as a muslim even though you're raised as a catholic and discovered you were jewish halfway through your life. >> i really do think that this is not america where we ban people by religion and make it so difficult to come here. this is kaa country that's base on diversity, and you and i are proof of it. >> thank you. thank you both for a fascinating conversation. always a honor to have you on. up next, a new study says anti-semitism is on the rise around the world and in america. what is going on? we'll be back in a moment. ♪ you know how painful heartburn can be. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief, try doctor recommended gaviscon. it quickly neutralizes stomach acid and helps keep acid down for hours. relieve heartburn with fast- acting, long-lasting gaviscon.

offered up the following analogy. the campaign turned over rock and a lot of stuff began crawling out from under it. he was referring to trump's bid for presidency and the simultaneous rise of anti-semitism in america, especially online. the government is out with a study that details a world wide rise in this brand of hate. by next guest says he's seen a similar rise in recent years in his country, france and europe, more generally. the genius of judaism is his eloquent new book. he talks about something called bds, which might not be familiar to all of you. it stands for boycott divestment sanctions. it's the rallying cry for those on the left who want to use those tactics to punish and put pressure. pleasure. >> thank you.
7:48 am
>> you taub abolk about the ris anti-semitism in america. >> yeah. >> i've been surprised by it. tell me how you see it. why and how is it risen? >> i saw in america, i'm sorry so say as a foreigner, but accept my witness. the witness as a friend of this country. two examples, on the left and on the right. on the right a lot of things which has been said and liberated during the last campaign. not necessarily by the president except that when he reminds, when he calls the jewish name of one of your colleagues, john stu stewart. >> he did with -- jon stewart of the daily show. why don't you talk about your real name? >> why don't you take pride of

your jewish roots. around him, among his voters or part of his voters, there was something like return of the repressed. on the left side, the campaign, the world campaign called bds and i want to say to the followers of this bds campaign, i want to tell them from the bot d tom of my heart, this is an anti-semitic campaign. this campaign takes its roots long time ago, 60 years ago in the fringes of the dying. the first time when boycott was recommendsed against israel, occupy territory, germany taking shelter in iraq or syria and building this campaign of bds.

7:51 am
this means normal political and you have inside israel a lot of brave female and male militants who say that. i would ask dop y, do you think there's space in the middle east for a jewish state or not? the question is do we demonize, do we delegitimize israel as such? >> do you think this explosion of anti-semitism, is it a flare up that you think will die or is it the sign of a new and worrying trend is this. >> it is the sign of a trend. the hope is not that it will vanish. the real hope is the decent democracy will find way to contain it.
