overshadowed by a missile launch by north korea. officials say the missile traveled roughly 300 miles before splashing into the sea of japan. state media now reporting this test was a success overseen by kim jong-un. last night they put on a united front while addressing the world and the president saying little but affirming the united states stands behind its ally. let's brung in elise lab bottbo. >> they are not mentioning the test. this morning we heard from the white house policy adviser who conceptually said that the u.s. is going to increase its

defenses and show resolve. take a listen to steven miller. >> the message we're sending to the world right now is a message of strength and solidarity. we stand with japan and with our allies in the region to address the north koreaenm menace. we're inheriting a mess. the situation in yemen. these are complex and difficult challenges. and that's why president trump is displaying the strength of america to the whole world and why we're going to begin a process of rebuilding our depleted defense capabilities. >> certainly a lot of challenges for this new president. one of the gravest national security threats that this president is facing because u.s. commanders have said within a year not only would north korea have a nuclear weapon, but could also have that intercontinental missile to marry it together

that could deliver a nuclear weapon to the continental united states. so what are the options? you have seen the obama administration operate paushs. not wanting to negotiate until it agreed to give up nuclear weapons. . that was not successful. a lot of critics have said that that delayed into a much more robust north korean nuclear program. so the administration has a few choices. that habit worked tr. that's what the u.s. is doing with that missile defense shield. i think this is wub of the things he wants to do is put more pressure to use influence with north korea to abandon their nuclear ambitions.

i really think we're going to continue to see the north koreaen threats ask this is just the beginning because experts and officials have said in addition to trying to test this new president and make sure that everyone notices north korea, it's also a missile testing program. . and with every test, this was intermediate range muscle. but with every test that north korea does, it continues to improve its missile capability. that's a real concern for the united states. >> we're learning this is apparently a new style strategic system they were testing out. >> let's talk about the president's response. thanks for being here. this is trump's first major test. he's been in the white house for just a few weeks. how do you think he's handled this situation so far?

>> he handled it last night. he said they are one of their greatest allies. he was with prime minister abe this weekend. but i think it helped. they can say we have to deal with this. we're we can talk it through. i do think what north korea will not be able to develop an intercontinental missile to reach the united states. the missile they fired only went 310 miles or so. it's a lot further to get to the united states. but as your reports says.

that would reach united states and president trump said they are not going to be allowed to do this. this is very similar to what the united states faced with iran. and we saud they are not going to have a nuclear capability. the question became what are the options. the only two options seem to be if you learn to live with the bomb or you take it out. those are not good options. donald trump hasn't liked that option or that result. so i donlt know if thhe will or not that's the most obvious way to see if you can negotiate with the chinese taking the lead on it. if you can negotiate a settlement prevents them from going to the ballistic missile.

>> if you were advising trump, it sounds like that's the direction you'd point them in. getting the chinese involved and trying to create some kind of leverage through that avenue. >> right. but all these things are complicated. president trump came into office vowing to reverse our trade relationship with the chinese. we have a huge trade deficit with the chinese. the chinese have been very unfair. he's made it clear he wants to put on protective tariffs. if we did that, the hopes of intervening probably goes down the tubes. this stuff is complicated.

the best thing that can be said is president trump has got some heavy weights in office now at state department and defense department and he's starting to get his team together. i would think instead offen engaging in tweets about this, i would think he would take it indors and have some very quiet opinions of how to figure this out. >> that's the launch he tweeted about immigration. >> he was very careful what e he said. >> are you surprised? >> i'm pleased because it's a better way to conduct diplomacy. but in recent days, we have seen him moderate on several issues on international issues some of his critics saying he's caving to the chinese.

he's going to be under a lot of conflicting pressures from within his own party and the conservative base within the international community. these things are best taken indoors inside and very quietly work it through your allies to see it they come up with a united policy and go to work with them. >> thank you so much. >> take care. >> you too. have a good weekend. immigrants families rattled after the string of raids. some now pulling their children out of school. up next, what president trump has to say about those raids while he's not tweeting on north korea, he's tweeting on this issue. and how an immigration reform advocate plans to help some of these families living in fear. you're live here in the cnn newsroom.

president trump is defending immigration raids. he calls it a a crackdown that fulfills a campaign promise. more than 500 undocumented immigrants are in custody. protests are erupting over this, yet immigration officials insist that the raids are routine enforcement and mainly target violent criminals. advocates aren't sure about that saying the raids swept up many without criminal records. let's talk it over with the co-founder of define america. thank you for coming on for us this weekend. what are you hearing from some of these undocumented immigrant families? >> people are terrorized.

they are living in fear not know figure their families are going to be split apart forcefully. . this is the third week in a row since president trump took office where we have had massive protests around the country. clearly he is not making policy that is making people feel safe. in many ways he's ripping apart the fabric of our country and it is inspiring to see so many people take to the streets. but as someone who is the daughter of former undocumented immigrants, i understand that fear from when you didn't know if your mom or dad was going to come home or if they were going to have employment to make sure there was food on the table. and these are families that have been in this country for years, for decades at times at the compassion that it we're seeing from allies around the country is incredible. but the terrorizing that is intentional coming from this

administration should absolutely i think force everyone to understand that we have a moment where we can either sit back and accept these policies moving forward or we can get involved in an electoral way. that's why i'm running for dnc chair. because elections have consequences and the democratic party is going to be that infrastructure. a lot of different institutions have roles to play. . the aclu does an amazing job in the courts, but the democratic party is how we stop trump. we need to be as strong as possible for the resistance. >> remind you that president obama was call ed the deporter n chief. so he was a democrat. he implemented policy that affected these people just as we're seeing now. it was i.c.e. officials who tell us the raids that were carried out were planned under the obama

administration. so to play devil's advocate, why blame donald trump for what we're seeing. . >> the tone that it donald trump set in not just the election, but since he's come into office has emboldened this agency. when we hear that it is not just undocumented immigrants who have committed a crime being swept up, but these are undocumented immigrants across the board who are being swept up. there's not the kind of smart targeting that was coming from the obama administration. of course, everyone wants to feel safe and make sure if there's someone who has committed a crime or multiple crimes, they are in the system. and going through a process. but to just put an entire net over a community and start knocking on doors asking people to show their papers, in this environment, can you imagine the fear of children in these homes, of not knowing it their parents

are going to come home that evening. not knowing what their next day is going to look like. this is why we need to have a smarter more focused immigration policy and it needs to also understand the contributions that immigrants make to this it country. from the rhetoric we saw in 2016 throughout that campaign to how he is operating as president, it's very clear if there's no understanding of the contributions that immigrants have made to this country from a very start to the contributions they are making now in making sure that we are actually creating new jobs. >> if you were to be leading the democratic national committee, what would you suggest democrats do? obviously, they are in the minority in congress. >> they are. this is why it is so important that it we do everything we can as a party to shore up our infrastructure, to make sure that the energy and the passion

that we are seeing in the streets that people know that the democratic party is a home for this resistance. the institution that is going to be able to stop donald trump, whether it's through taking back congress, taking back the senate is going to be the democratic party. it is important to keep having these protests and recruit new candidates. it's important to make sure that the voices are heard in opposition. but the only way we defeat this administration is going to be through electoral politics. so the contractic party has some work to do to be a more welcoming home to these activists. so to all of that it energy that's out there. elections have consequences. and i think we are now all seeing the consequences. that's why there have been massive protests over the past three weekends, but we have to funnel that energy into a solid infrastructure. we have to funnel that it energy into recruiting new leadership and funnel that energy into

making sure we are defending the policies that actually make our country stronger, not rip us apart in what donald trump is doing. >> thank you for coming on. still to come, a mexican call center operating inside the u.s. is swarmed with phone calls from undocumented immigrants fearful of deportation. we'll show you how this center is managing some of those pleas for help, ahead. you're live in the cnn newsroom. it is one of the most powerful tools our species has created. and now we unleash it on your taxes. hello my name is watson. yep. h&r block and ibm watson together. come see us and get your taxes won.

clothing and access sis. that's nordstroms loss. because these are high quality products. . in fact, i'm wearing one of her bangles right now. it's beautiful. it's shimmery. it's elegant. and at $39.99 it's unbelievably affordable. don't even get me started on her shoes. because these babies are a head turner. >> any other questions? >> just mentally, are you okay? >> are you kidding me? >> you better run. you don't have a chance.

live from new york it's saturday night. >> in case you missed it. there you have it. let's talk about "snl" with bob garfield. good to have you, bob. first, that shear energy of her performance there, is this war now between "snl" and the trump white house? >> is it war, yeah, i guess it's war. she's joking about light terrorism and this is light war. as hilarious as it is, it's what's underlying it is not funny. it's horrifying, it's alarming and altogether despicable. >> does what we're seeing here while it's satire, you mentioned there is a serious nature, some of the content that's being made fun of here. does it hurt the credibility of the white house?

>> well, who knows. the campaign was able to make its message heard in spite of reality in facts and truth and as of the most recent polling, 40% of the electorate seems to approve of the first three weeks of the trump administration. that's a pretty large percentage considering what we have witnessed. one of the reasons they have approval is because of a campaign to marginalize the institutions. the judiciary, but most particularly the media. there's been a a campaign to discredit the media, to call the product fake news. what the media has done is nothing more than call out the

president's lies, call out the dlulgs delusional references to nonexistent voter fraud. the press by doing its job has in some ways played right into the white house's hands. ultimately not funny. >> let's take a listen to another skut. this is the people's court skit. >> i read the ban. it seemed rushed. and i decide three court cases in an hour. i see no evidence that it will help. so i'm sorry to say -- >> i want to settle out of court. >> mr. president -- >> they always settle. >> no, u won't. let me just say you're doing too much. i want one day without a cnn alert that scares the hell out of me.

>> so judging from the laughter, the actress playing that judge hit a chord with those lines. what were your thought when is you saw that? >> i was thinking exactly the same thought. u would like to live in such a day as well. i haven't had one in three weeks. and the people's court sketch is a reference to his attack on the judiciary and court of appeals that upheld the lower court's stay of the muslim ban. and what's really scary about this is notwithstanding the satire is that the administration seems to be setting the table for things to come. to setting the table to win the inevitable terrorist attack, to blame it on the media and play to the 40% i referred to earlier

and say, a-ha. that's when truly authoritarian, dangerous thing cans happen. and it's why i'm grateful that saturday nugt live is able to get across to america what in some ways the mainstream media have not been able to because so many people discount every word that comes out of our mouths. >> we'll have to lee it there. thank you for coming on. >> thank you. coming up, president trump's white house adviser repeating claims that there was widespread voter fraud in november's election without a shred of proof. why is the white house sticking to this story? we'll debate it, next. you're live in the cnn newsroom.

has been a struggle. i considered all my options th my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent

insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death,

even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. i'm raph. my name is anne. i'm one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. don't let unanswered legal questions hold you up, because we're here, we're here, and we've got your back. legalzoom. legal help is here. legal help is here.

vote, which is ans a stonishing statistic. >> hold on a succeed. you claimed again there was illegal voting in new hampshire. do you have any evidence of that? >> george, go to new hampshire. talk to anybody who worked in politic there is for a long time. everybody is aware of the problem in new hampshire. >> the president is backing miller's interview tweeting, congratulations, steven miller, on representing me on the sunday morning shows. great job. no proof of that voter fraud he spoke of. let's bring in my panel. ben ferguson and also a "new york times" contributor. ben, the white house has offered no evidence of this massive voter fraud. they speak of election officials and said there's no evidence of large scale fraud. why would trump continue to make this completely baseless claim? >> u think there's one of two thing its here. either they do have information and will put it together in a major way moving forward, or it's time to move on past this.

there is definitely potential in had this country for mass voter fraud, but i have to say looking at the information, i'm not seeing any real evidence and showing that there was some sort of major voter fraud here. there are people registered in two states. that is potential for voter fraud. and new hampshire i worked on presidential campaigns. they do have a lot of people that are bussed sbo that state. was there thousands upon thousands illegal voters, you have to back that up with substantial evidence moving forward. otherwise people are going to start look iing at this issue a saying, i just don't trust the white house on it. they need to back it up if they have this evidence. they need to do it very soon. >> the president spent the weekend. with the prime minister of japan. it could have been the perfect opportunity to step away from these claims to move on to other things yet they doubled down. it doesn't seem like an accident. is this their u strategy? >> there's only two options.

either trump is delusional and really believes that 3 million illegal immigrants voted for clinton and then did the bowling green massacre and took a bus to chicago and kill ed two people during president obama's farewell address, all of which are alternative facts. or he's a pathological liar. he's seen as an insecure fickle man seems obsessed with sizes. . the size of his fingers, his hands, the crowd size, favorability ratings, which are all small. >> what does this have to do with anything? >> he's doubling down on this because of his ego and the worst part is is steven miller and bannon, who are extremists, they are going to use this to attack the voting rights act. because miller was the right-hand man of jeff sessions, our new attorney general, he was

an inconsequential piece of legislation. they are going to use this to attack the voting rights. >> go ahead, ben. >> there's a significant number of americans that think it is absolutely appropriate to be able to show proof of who you are before you vote so that there is not as much voter fraud or even potential for voter fraud. we show i.d. zs for everything. the building you went into today, i bet you showed an ud. when you get on a plane, you go to an i.d. americans are happy to be able to show who they are to protect their own bank accounts. why wouldn't you want to protect your vote. liberals just like you say this every time. >> i'm an american. >> the racist idea, it's protecting the vote of every minority, everybody in america.

you want to protect that vote. why would you want someone's vote to be taken away. >> north carolina so-called judges reviewed the republicans crackdown on this voter fraud that doesn't exist. they said what the voter fraud protection act was for them was actually to limit the votes of african-americans specifically with surgical precision republicans went after african-american voters. the scary part here is miller and bannon will use the fickle ego of trump to promote voter suppression. that's the scary part. >> you always go back, and this is the reason why you guys lost the election, thank the lord. every time you don't like something it's racist or bigoted instead of looking at what the american people have said about this. the majority of people are in favor of protecting their vote by showing who you are. that's not an extreme idea.

>> we already do that. the majority of the people voted for clinton, not trump and trump has the lowest favorability rating in modern history. maybe you want to switch parties. >> we're going to leave it there you guys. >> alternative facts. >> we have been discussing this since the initial voter fraud claims came up, but we appreciate the ongoing discussion. it's not us putting this in the media discussion. it's the president who continues to bring up voter fraud and he did say he was going to investigate it. ben, why do you think we haven't seen a formal investigation that it he initially said was going to be coming? >> as u said earlier, i think they have to do it very soon. it's important when you say something like this to back it up. i'm a realist when it comes to these types of things.

if the white house does have the evidence that they claim they have, they need to make it clear to the american people and move forward with it quickly. if they don't, they will start to lose people who will say, hey, you made a major claim. you did not back it up. you have to do this soon otherwise you start to lose people in this country and their support for you. that's how politics work. >> that's a good place for us to take a break. thank you both for being here. we do appreciate the feisty debate. flight attendants are now coming together to fight human trafficking. up next, how a group of flight attendants helped bust a trafficking ring and set free 82 children. that's next in the cnn newsroom.
