2:00 pm
thank you for joining us, you're live in the cnn newsroom. let's begin with the missile launch in north korea. the launch comes just three weeks into trump's presidency, and experts say it's no kwibs dense that officials sty the missile traveled 100 miles before the splashed into the sea of japan. why would addressing the world, the president saying very little, but affirming that the united states stands behind it's ally, 100%. elise labbet has been following this since it happened. >> reporter: i think you saw just a very short statement by the president last month because he wasn't with his advisors,
2:01 pm
they haven't had a chance to huddle together and clearly i think that statement was really designed for prime minister abe's benefit, to show the strength of the u.s. commitment to japan, but obviously as the president talked with his advisors overnight, a little bit more of a stronger message coming out this morning from white house policy director, steven miller, talking on the sunday morning shows, take a listen. >> the message we're sending to the world right now is a message of strength and solidarity, we stand with japan and we stand with our allies in the region to address the north korean menace, the point is we're addressing a situation around the world that's as challenging as anything we have seen in our lives, the situation in north korea, the situation in yemen, these are complex and difficult challenges, and that's why president trump is displaying the strength of america to the withhold world, and that's why we're going to begin a process
2:02 pm
to build our defense capabilities. >> reporter: i think most important is building those defense capabilities, you saw jim mattis in the region, after all that bombast from president trump on the campaign trail, but reducing the commitment to south korea and japan, i think goading the situation in the election. this is a test for the first national security test for the president and i think it's really just the beginning, anna, because not only just north korea wants to, you know, make its presence known, test this new president, this missile program, this is a testi ining program, and while this was an intermediate missile, not that intercontinental long range missile that north korea has been threatening about, they're continuing with every test to start developing their missile capabilit
2:03 pm
capability. so administration officials have warned that if the united states doesn't respond, north korea could threaten the continental united states. so this is clearly one of the greatest national security threats facing this new president, anna. >> we'll wait to see what more happens in the coming days, when it comes to north korea's missile program, what exactly is the country capable of and what options does the country have in confronting an often hostile and aggressive leader. we athis missile went roughly 30 miles or so before it ended up in the sea of japan, we know north korea is capable of launching longer range missiles, what was the point of this one? >> for a while now, for years,
2:04 pm
but particularly under a young kim, north korea has undertaken a more aggressive missile program. this is sort of the new normal, where he will regularly test missiles. it remains to be seen, which missile, precisely which one it was, we might learn more over the coming day, we might pluck out some of the parts that crashed into the sea, but it's two steps forward and one step back, they have failures, but they have made progress, moving from liquid fuel to solid fuel. they have range and not all the missiles are the same. i know that there's this emphasis on intercontinental ballistic missiles because some day they may be able to reach the u.s. i think it's a mistake, because
2:05 pm
it both understates the threat and it overstates it. it overstates it because i don't think they're going to have that capability for a while. and it overstates it because we have thousands soof u.s. troops more than 20,000 troops in south korea and japan. so they don't have to test an icbm, those people are in the crosshair, theoretically. >> we did hear kim jong-un on january 1, saying they should have an icbm ready soon, was his word. what can you tell us as for as what you know of their missile program right now? int spell it out loud and clear, does north korea have a missile that could reach the snu.s. >> i have been skeptical about this, it was supposed to happen by 2015, it didn't happen by
2:06 pm
2015, not all missiles are as easy to produce. a ballistic missile that enters into space and actually comes back into the atmosphere, that's the most difficult of all. it's one thing to launch a missile over the horizon, it's another thing to launch a missile, taken to the tip of safe, have it re-enter and deliver it's package where it's supposed to. it requires the highest levels of engineering reliability, so that's why i say, both, i'm not so worried about the icbm thing, but also, that's not -- should be the focus. if they wanted to, north korea could put a bomb on a plane, which all first generation nuclear states use as their delivery platform is planes not missiles and they could drop a bomb in south korea o'japr japa. so the danger is already here. the question is what are you
2:07 pm
going to do about it? this president has a chance to do something new that others haven't. and partly that's just because he's the new guy in office, so he gets sort of a do over on everything he did before. so he could on sanctions, we have had lots of sanctions, i don't think that's a game changer, that's a deal to be made here, obviously that would be very difficult. >> what leverage does the u.s. have? >> i don't know so much whether it's they can punish him anymore. because we're pretty -- i have friends on capitol hill who say we can still sanction him a little bit more. but essentially you're squeezing a stone at this point, there's nothing gigantic that's going to change the situation, because it's china they depend on economically, not the united states. so we could rally our allies and support them, that's what they've been doing the last couple of days, but what we can do is say, if you decide to freeze or change your newauclea
2:08 pm
behavior, but if you stop doing this, you can be on a path that's a better path for you. >> hasn't that been tried before, where back in the earlier 2000s, there were these two-party talks, around the mid 2005 to 2009, and it's not been effective. they clearly have the agreed frame work from the 1990s, so we had an agreement with north korea that was negotiated under the clinton administration, in which north korea shut down and froze it's nuclear reactor, so it wasn't producing anymore material, and it froze their ballistic missile tests. that agreement held on for a few
2:09 pm
years, but it broke down, but for those eight years, that program was frozen and those tests were frozen. and frankly i prefer that situation than an unckoconstrai missile program. obviously this is a preferred option. >> before i let you go, jim, do you think president trump would take the unprecedented move and meet with kim jong-un? >> i think with both of these guys anything is possible. in some ways, they're both known for being brash and making wild statements and whatever. but i think they both played this so far, pretty cautiously. north korea did not test an icbm and the trump administration did not respond wildly, so i think there's actually some chance, it would be a mistake to go straight to negotiations, but they can begin quiet discussions and sort of test the waters, and
2:10 pm
then if things start to make progress, they could make it known. but that's one of the things they might try. it's a busy day mere in the newsroom, ahead in the shadows, fear sweeping immigrant communities across the west as uncertainty over president trump's travel ban looms and cities who want california to become a sanctuary state. and overdosed outrage, dozens of heroin cases in a single day, puts one american city on edge. we take you to the heart of an epidemic. you're live in the cnn newsroom.

2:13 pm
2:14 pm
federal immigration officials insist these are routine enforcements and targets active criminals. but many are saying the raids swept up those without records. you said last week to your senate colleagues and i quote, half of my family would be eligible for deportation under the executive order because they got a false social card, they got a false driver's license, they got a false green card, that's what you need to survive, to work. sir, what compelled you to say that, to draw attention to your family members? >> let me say this, anna and i'm glad that you're giving me actually an opportunity to make a very important clarification, at one time, obviouslying there was numerous members of my
2:15 pm
family that were undocumented and eventually they became legal permanent residents and eventually u.s. citizens of the country. there was a legal dissemination by breitbart.com, so many immigrants that come to this country have to secure a social security, driver's license or a green card in order to work. this is vital because we talk about nannies, women who take care of our children, gardeners, people who work in construction, this is a lot more common than americans think, because to survive, we do have a congress that have abdictated the responsibility so we can deal with the issue of illegal immigration, to get these people out of the shadowings and into
2:16 pm
the fabric of our society. >> there's this admission that people are using false documents to be in this country, which is why some people are demanding increased immigration enforcement. what's to stop people from entering the country illegally and using false documents to stay here. >> executive orders by the president are not going to make our nation safer, they're not going to bring jobs back and not going to help the economy. but the president has to move forward sooner rather than later with a comprehensive immigration policy. when you attack law abiding people, you're actually undermining our economy. we are the sixth largest economy in the world. when you attack immigrants, many of whom are law abiding, who work very hard, you're actually
2:17 pm
undermining the security of america. president trump is using this as a guide by expanding his criteria in order to go back to deporting mothers and fathers, and that's the values of united states or of california. >> 150 out of the 160 people they arrested in their raids were in fact violent criminals, some had child sex crimes on their records. assault, weapons charges, you're not saying they should be allowed to stay in the u.s., are you? >> let me be clear, there's no vagueness, there's no argument at all, whatsoever for many democrats or republicans from removing individuals who are dangerous elements within our own neighborhoods, within our own communities, within our state and nation. please move forward and go ahead and do so.
2:18 pm
be let me be very clear, i want to underscore the following, the vast majority of immigrants a s hard working people, law abiding and mothers and fathers, you have mothers, you have children right now whose stress levels are through the roof right now and that's not healthy for any child, and it's not healthy for any nation, when a young girl panics or is fearful when she waits on the curb side for her mother to pick her up from school, she will not arrive and pick her up because she's been deported by i.c.e. agents. >> i hear what you're saying and i can't help but be sympathetic when you describe children who are affected by all this. i come from a family of mexican immigrants into this country as well. a lot of people are calling it a
2:19 pm
sanctuary state, bill, explain how this would work. >> well, the objective is very simple, we're not going to allow the federal government and quite specifically, we're not going to be a cog in the trump deportation machine by commandeering our local tax dollars, our state tax dollars to fulfill the mission of the federal government, i'm keenly aware that immigration law and enforcement is the sole exclusive discretion of the federal government, they will do their job, but they will not be able to commandeer local police officers or highway patrol to full their jobs or fulfill the duties of federal immigration officers, that is not the purpose of police officers, police officers are to serve and protect our community regardless of who you are or where you come from. and there's a very fine line. we don't prevent imgrairgs officials from doing their job, they need to do their job. but trump is not going to use us as a cog in his deportation
2:20 pm
machine. we won't lift a finger, nor will we spend a single cent to do so. >> all right, kevin leon, thank you for joining us. straight ahead, you're looking at live pictures right now of palm beach international airport, where mr. trump is heading back to washington and what his senior white house advisor is saying about plans t tto reinstate it has we head there live. you're watching live the cnn newsroom.

2:22 pm
2:24 pm
a white house senior advisor defends president trump's travel ban. he says he's considering all options to reinstate the ban. president trump heads back to the white house for a meeting with white house senior advisors. what can we expect from donald trump and the administration on this ban and when? >> hi, anna, he did have several heated exchanges on several
2:25 pm
topics, on several of the sunday morning shows. that's the big question right now, the administration has said that they are taking various routes, they're looking at all options, the president told reporters traveling down here with him on friday that he could file a brand new order as soon as tomorrow, but they're actually talking about defying it in court. let's see what sean spicer said on friday. >> we have equal branches of government in this country, a district judge in seattle cannot force the president of the united states to change the laws and the constitution because of their own personal views. >> steven miller argued in that interview and many other interviews today that the president is entirely within his statutory and constitutional rights, he cited article two of the constitution, and he says his move is not reviewable.
2:26 pm
and that's something that the ninth circuit court of appeals did not agree with. but the question is how soon will any move come. coming up, the president's pick to lead the department finally gets a hearing date, but will his labor pick derail his nomination? we'll talk to economist ben stein. abdominal pain? but we said we'd be there... woap, who makes the decisions around here? it's me. don't think i'll make it. stomach again...send! 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.
2:27 pm
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. stay ahead of ibs-d... with viberzi.
2:29 pm
2:30 pm
and he also meets with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. now seven members of president trump's cabinet are confirmed, eight more to go on tap this week, trump's pick for labor secretary. that hearing has been cancelled four times. there could be some fireworks on this one, he's the ceo of carls jr. and he's also taken criticism for employees an undocumented immigrant in his home. he also has a long record of opposing government regulations, coming out against proposals for a $15 minimum wage, broader overtime pay and othering acts. there's dozens of things that come into play such as wage
2:31 pm
theft and -- >> donald trump has an amazing goal, to have campaigned the way he did, and then put this man for secretary of labor. the idea that you can say one thing and do another is embodied in the nomination of andrew puzder. >> joining me now, famed economist ben stein, ben, do you personally have concerns about ben puzder. >> he would not have been my first choice. i do want to say i love carl's jr.'s chicken sandwiches, they are great sandwiches, but he had a different mission as head of this giant company, to be able
2:32 pm
to keep prices low, he's obviously a terribly intelligent man, and his brief is to improve a lot of american workers. he is opposed to the $15 an hour minimum wage, almost everybody is opposed to that except in a very very left wing proposals, by the way, i'm not opposed to it. but the super bowl commercial, that cannot be seriously used against him, this is a man trying to sell hamburgers, it's certainly not wrong to show an attractive woman in a bikini to sell hamburgers. >> you can argue that he is sexualizing, objectifying women through those commercials, so there's a character issue there. >> could i stop you right there, madam? because that's what all tv is. all tv is sexualizing and objectifying women. and i have to say, as --
2:33 pm
>> doesn't make it right. >> it doesn't make it right, well, i don't know, maybe it the does make it standard practice in america. if you were to hold that against every person who's ever done it, i these you're going to be holding a lot of big people in the screen actor's guild and the motion picture academy responsible the too. i agree, it's a real problem, and the objectifying and sexualizing of women, especially at a very early age is extremely distasteful. but he was selling hand burg ii and to hold him responsible is a very -- >> puzder has talked about automation as the wave of the future, describing machine this is way, and i quote, they're always polite, they always upset, they never take a vacation, they never show up late there's never a slip and
2:34 pm
fall or an age or sex discrimination case. >> the thing is that's the wave of the future, if you look at the data, these enormous amounts of job losses in manufacturing have to do much more with manufacturing than with jobs being deported to mexico or to china. automation is just a fact of life, it's got to happen, that's just the way life is, i don't think him saying i'm going to fine all these people and have machines and robots take over at carl's jr., he might, it's already happening at mcdonald's. it doesn't mean he's a poor choice, he's just talking about reality. but th he's not a bad guy for saying the facts about what life is like in the restaurant business. >> i want to get into our
2:35 pm
expertise when it comes to the economy and how things work with unemployment and employment. puzder has written a number of opinion pieces blasting how the bureau of labor statistics, if you're trying to measure whether the economy is creating jobs, the unemployment rate alone is a poor indicator. do you agree? >> no, i do not agree, that has been a constant theme of people who don't know statistics where sell. as well as the ability to produce reliable statistics, and i think is that somehow they're manipulating the numbers and the numbers are unreliable, mr. trump has used the same theme and i don't think it's true. mr. trump was lucky enough to n
2:36 pm
inherit a very strong economy from mr. obama. i do think the economy is very strong, although i have very serious problems of obama's policies, his handling of the economy was quite good. >> ben stein, thank you for your time. still to come, the number is staggering, 52 overdoses mostly heroin in just a few hours in louisville. rachel crane went to louisville to talk to a mother whose son lost his life in his battle of 'diction. gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? mosquitoes are the ultimate field biologists, taking blood samples from every animal they bite. microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and study the dna they collect. using the microsoft cloud, we can analyze over 100 million
2:37 pm
pieces of dna in every sample, so we can identify where diseases come from and how they spread. with the cloud, what used to take 30 days now takes 12 hours, and every second counts. if we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks before they begin. we must be passionate. we must be bold. and never stop striving in our desire to make an impact.
2:40 pm
. it's a widespread problem in cities all over this country, but right now, we're talking about louisville, kentucky. in just 32 hours there, officials responded to 52 overdose calls. most of them heroin. that's more than double the number of calls they got in this same time frame just the week before. rachel crane is life in louisville, and rachel, what are you learning and seeing on the ground there regarding these heroin overdoses. >> reporter: those numbers that you quote, while very alarming, they really don't tell the full story here, the one that you get when you're on the ground speaking to people affected by this horrible epidemic. i spent the morning with two mothers who lost children to
2:41 pm
addiction. >> this is gabriel's ashes. i love you. i kiss him all the time. >> reporter: arlene rice knows all too well the toll the opiod epidemic is taking on this country. >> it's been very devastating to our family, we will never be the same, we will never be whole. >> reporter: she lost her son gabriel nearly four years ago to a heroin overdose. of her four children, three have battled substance abuse. >> he's the best boy. we always say, i love that boy. and he was the best kid. even up until -- we were close up until the day he died. >> reporter: janice's son jason has been fighting addiction for over 20 years, he is currently in a treatment center. >> the guilt is the worst, because you think, what did i do
2:42 pm
wrong? or should i have done this better or that better. because everybody wants to tell you do tough love. and until they have a child who has an issue with addiction, they don't know what that means. >> reporter: louisville, kirilen kentucky is the latest in the heroin epidemic. >> it just seems like there's nothing working or nothing being done. >> reporter: er doctors hire are swamped with cases. they handle 22 a die. many of those places are transported to norton aud doe
2:43 pm
ban hospital. >> it's a very good day in the emergency department, if i don't see a heroin overdose. >> reporter: his worst day, this past natural when he treated nine overdoses in one shift. according to dr. coauch, doctor are administering naloxone, a medicine used to treat heroin overdoses. th janice never leaves home without her narcan. >> i never got to tell him how sorry i was. >> reporter: how sorry you were for what? >> for not understanding his plight. >> reporter: arlene is now an advocate for those fighting substance abuse. >> there does come a point where you sometimes wear down, but
2:44 pm
then you get back up and you fight, you're like, i am not going to let this win, i will fight until the day that i die to try to ensure that one else's child doesn't die. i can't save all of them, but maybe one. >> reporter: now one of the ways arlene hopes to fight this is narcan. she has co-founded the foundation which has already distributed more than 3,000 of these kits. >> rachel crane, my heart hurts for that mom. thank you for sharing their story. still to come, austin, texas, in the crosshairs of the immigration battle. how a local sheriff is using

2:49 pm
texas. this hold up in state funds now puts several programs on the chopping block. >> reporter: this combat veteran, a u.s. citizen was on the ground in iraq in 2003. he came home only to fight another battle. ptsd. his coping mechanism was drinking which led to a dui. >> i was pulled over, given a field sobriety test, took a breathalyzer. >> reporter: he wants to go by scott and doubesn't want to sho his face because his lively hood is at stake. >> i did something wrong, i wish i wasn't caught in this political game of chess. >> reporter: it started with sally hernandez who rolled out a new softer immigration detainer policy february 1. >> when people are fearful that they're going to be deported or they're going to lose their
2:50 pm
families, they do not want to cooperate with police. >> reporter: under her policy, i.c.e. is required to fight a warrant when arresting immigrants. >> our focus is not on taking care of immigration business. it's on taking care of our community and keeping our community safe. >> the move enraged texas governor who cut off $1.5 million in criminal justice defense grants to travis county. he's also pushing a statewide sanctuary city ban. instead it put 14 county jobs on the. chopping block including social service workers and even the two staffers that run the veterans court program which can helps get a succeed chance. >> the program put it through a monitoring plan.

the end goal, recovery and a clean record which says needs to apply for jobs. now the future of the program is unclear. >> the system that i fought for is now the one that is causing me the greatest jeopardy. >> governor abbott points the finger back at the sheriff saying her policies could put dangerous criminalings out on the street. >> people in the united states illegally. >> governor abbott declined a request for an sper view instead forwarding this letter. our office will not continue to funnel state taxpayer dollars to a local government whose illegal policies reach the agreement that is the source of those funds. >> i am opposing the law and the constitution. >> it's devastating. it was a rash decision made by the governor's office without looking at the outcome, but it's harming the people who have the greatest need. >> rosa flores, cnn, austin.

issues. it could have a stronger effect to be positive if we can use this as a conversation of figuring out why we are allowing hate to creep into people's hearts instead of fostering love. >> as he announced his departure, hurst told viewers i don't know what my future holds. i only know i'm being called to something greater and need to move on to a new chapter. one that has not yet been written. now we know he's headed to public office. the next hour of cnn newsroom starts now. top of the hour, you are live in the cnn newsroom. president trump is enroute to the white house. he boarded air force one a short time ago after spending the weekend with the prime minister of japan. it was meant to get to know each other, but it's quickly been
