5:00 am
to address the firestorm. >> i don't know about it. i haven't seen it. what report is that? i'll look at that. >> reporter: a senior administration official telling cnn flynn has no plans to resign, nor does he expect to be fired. president trump facing another big test over the weekend, north korea firing a ballistic missile into the sea of japan. as the president met with japan's prime minister shinzo abe, both leaders addressing the launch late saturday night. >> the united states of america stands behind japan, its great ally, 100%. >> reporter: meantime the trump administration is weighing their options on his suspended travel ban which could include writing a new executive order. >> we can appeal the emergency stay to the supreme court. we can take our case to the ninth circuit, we can continue the appeal with the panel or return to the district court and have a trial on the merits. all options are on the table.
5:01 am
>> reporter: as fears grow in immigrant communities after hundreds of people in 11 states were arrested last week, this as a white house advice ir reignites a conspiracy theory about voter fraud that has been repeatedly debunked without providing evidence. >> there are massive numbers of non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote. that's the story we should be talking about. i'm prepared to go on any show, anywhere, any time and repeat it and say the president of the united states is correct 100%. >> reporter: a whole host of questions expected to come up today as president trump meets with the canadian prime minister including nafta, the north american free trade agreement. our next guest says his former republican colleagues in congress aren't standing up to trump if light of o controversial positions. he is former republican congressman david gelany.
5:02 am
he joins us now. make the case your brothers and sisters on the gop side aren't standing up to the president? >> i believe in the gop. i want to see a strong gop. i want to see a strong country. i want to see the president succeed. a silence is notable. some are being silent because, frankly, they agree with him. there's a bell curve of ideology in both parties. others are struck kind of by paralysis, what do we do, given the president's occasional rants. some are negotiating with themselves over whether or not they believe the president is qualified or up to the task in this first month. some want to pass a republican agenda. to do so, they've got to be quiet. speaks spea er ryan wants to pass tax reform, regulatory relief, we're seeing silence from capitol hill. i think there are times you need to speak out. >> let's talk about that. that's why you wrote your piece. you believe that this balance of, well, i want to get things
5:03 am
done and i don't want him tweeting about me is keeping them from acting in conscience in a way you think is a mistake. >> it is. we need a strong article one congress and we need a congress who speaks up against a president who has shown in the past 30 days some very risky behavior as the chief executive. you're talking about two different profiles, one is they're scared their political career will be destroyed by a tweet from president trump. the other is stay silent and pass an agenda. president trump needs to stop creating such chaos for members of congress and fellow republicans. when i was a new member of congress, i was one of the early republicans to embrace marriage equality. i was beaten up pretty bad for it. there was a day on the house floor where a senior member came up to me and said, just remember, kid, you asked for this job. for president trump he needs to stop complaining and do your
5:04 am
job, stop taking on fake news, stop taking on the judiciary, stop taking on senators, john mccain, do your job. you asked for this job, stop complaining, do your job because republicans should be proud to have a republican president. >> he can go after whatever he wants, it would be nice if he was right. i don't mind him attacking the media. >> as i said, the purveyor of fake news resides in the oval office. >> i can't believe he hasn't tweeted yet about you, mr. jolly. >> michael flynn, what is your advice to your brothers and sisters in the gop about how to handle this? we know there are transcripts about communications. should they put them out? should we see whether or not flynn was telling the truth about what he did? >> they should. i think smerconish got this right. there has to be a steadier hand in the administration. we need to see more of the generals, if you will, general kelly, general mattis, we need to see more of the secretaries, less of the white house staff.
5:05 am
and on the flynn issue, at the end of the day, we will see turnover in this administration. bush 43 came into office with an electoral college, popular vote issue. a lot of people saw him as a weak, young president. nine months later we were at nation at war. at some point we can't be a nation so divided. and this is where trump needs a senior steady hand who prepares this administration for whatever comes next, the politics of a campaign can be fun. the fights can be something we have around the kitchen table. but at some point we're going to be a nation united and it's going to require presidential leadership surrounded by intelligent, thoughtful, steady advisers. >> you think we're going to see anybody get removed? >> i think you're counting the days. sean spicer is a great guy, right? president trump makes business decisio decisions. when you're being lampooned on "saturday night live," poor sean spicer. president trump has to say, look, is he doing his job or
5:06 am
not. flynn, who knows? >> obama got rid of a defense chief early on, had a guy who wasn't a good fit. >> sure. >> let me ask you something else. you talked about you can't keep exacerbating divides once you're in office. that's what this voter fraud stuff feels like, though. there's no question, look, propaganda needs a basis in truth. this is propaganda that you have three to 5 million people who voted illegally, all for hillary clinton and that's why trump lost at least california. there is no proof of that. that's a waste of conversation until they offer some proof. but you have to think that they're playing it up for a reason. >> they are. >> do you have concerns? they're not talking about voter suppression which could be more demonstrable fraud in our voting process. what is this doing for you guys? >> i think it's a broader perspective of president trump's leadership style. he has systematically
5:07 am
delegitimized all the systems we believe in, the electoral system, the media, the judiciary. he's doing so because he demands loyalty, not because of his policy prescriptions, simply out of being a powerful president. the way he demands loyalty, commands loyalty is to delegitimize every other institution we believe in. that's the underlying theme of frankly how he rose to power and how he's holding onto it. he demands his followers accept whatever facts he says. if you have accept those proffered by the legitimate institutions we've always believed in, that weakens trump's hand. >> americans are not lemings. the taxes, he doesn't want to put out taxes. there are not a lot of laws that make you put out taxes. there is an law in the ways and means committee, a guy named
5:08 am
passgrove asking kevin brady to do it. the republicans control the committees. this takes us back to your first point. do you think kevin brady has the gumption to compel the tax information from the treasury department, from the irs about the president and remove doubt about conflicts? >> i think trump should release the information. >> he es ooh not going to. >> i know he's not going to. i think congress should push him to. whether or not we're going to apply law to force revealing it, we'll see. this is a bigger issue. this is why i wrote the column. republicans have a chance here to show that they can govern. don't tell elizabeth warren to sit down, don't complain we're going to the nuclear option, don't try to hide the ball on trump's taxes. own unto the american people. if you're a republican, you believe in the ideals of a conservative platform, and the only way you can credibly offer that to the american people is if you stop hiding the ball on all this other mischief and this
5:09 am
rhetoric that we keep hearing from the white house and the silence from congress. >> sounds good from a well-tanned man who doesn't need to wear a tie anymore because he's out of the game. do you think brady would take on that heat? >> no. >> he's going to be friendless and will have the most powerful enemy in the world. >> no. it may not be his decision. dheems do this comes down to leadership decisions. they decide what to go forward on and what they're not. this is where i give speaker ryan a lot of credit. he has continued to try to engage in private council with the white house and has indicated as much. you see when president trump says a 20% tariff which is pa really a tax, i think paul ryan is talking him off that ledge a little bit. i don't think brady would have the ability to make that decision himself. he's a great guy, chairman of the committee, somebody i respect. ultimately this is a political
5:10 am
decision by the speaker's office. >> do you miss it yet? >> no, i don't. >> good to have you. alisyn. new england getting hammered by another powerful winter storm. schools in boston are closed today because a lot of snow is on the way. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray is live in boston with more. how is it looking, jennifer? >> reporter: just snowing very, very lightly here in boston. of course you can see people trying to get around behind me. the plows have been out in full force, working all through the night trying to keep up with the roadways. it was snowing hard during the overnight hours. you can see they let up now. they're also pulling double duty which is interesting because we have very strong winds on the way. winds can peak out at 45 miles an hour. with the heavy wet snow during the overnight hours, it could bring down trees and power lines. around portland is where we
5:11 am
could see the heaviest snowfall, the highest amounts. we could see up to a foot or more of snow there right around the boston area we've seen from two inches to six inches during the overnight hours, really not expecting much more than an inch or two throughout the day today. really winding down here in boston, but ramping up as we get into places like portland, maine and points north of that. >> thank you, please keep us apprised. we'll check in with you a little bit. other breaking news. nearly 200,000 people in northern california are being evacuated right now just below the oroville dam, the nation's tallest dam. why? a breach in its spillway. we have cnn's paul vercammen live in oroville with the latest. how is it going? >> chris, if you look right behind me, you'll see how it's
5:12 am
going. they're taking large rocks and bagging them up. those rocks will go into the hole in the backup spillway. actually two spillways that have been compromised, the dam itself is find. because of all of this, you mentioned those evacuations in yuba city, oroville. they described the scene last night as frantic chaos as the residents of these communities had to scramble out of here. they will learn a lot more about just how damaged this backup spillway is when the sun comes up. they'll be looking at it closely and trying to decide what more needs to be done. there is another storm on the horizon that does have officials concerned. they hope this storm will be a cold storm, one of the last ones was warmer and that was a two-headed monster because not only did all that runoff come down, but it also melted a lot of snow and that helped to fill up this ves voir behind the
5:13 am
oroville dam. >> paul, please keep us posted as they try to make progress on the huge sinkhole or whatever they call it. they'll be dropping boulders. >> this was not an engineering flaw. this dam and spillway have stood for a long time. it will be a look at part of our nation's infrastructure, how is it? how is it maintained? what does it need to be. big question. >> meanwhile, the white house is working to put the president's controversial travel ban back in effect. up next, democratic senator ben cardin joins us to talk about the future of the ban and why he believes it helps isis. in its roughest form, shaped and crafted by jared experts... into the one diamond she'll wear forever. and, jared makes her diamond's journey part of your love story... ...with a book of photographs documenting your diamond's creation.

i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪ ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose
5:16 am
asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com. bp engineers use underwater robots, so they can keep watch over operations below the sea, even from thousands of feet above. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better.
5:17 am
options and considering all of them. we can pursue further executive actions. all options are the table. the point i want to make to you, george, and your listeners, is we have equal branch ofs government in this country. the judiciary is not supreme. >> president trump's senior policy adviser there saying the white house is exploring new ways to reinstate its travel ban which, of course, the federal judge halted more than a week add go. the administration says anyone trying to block the ban is making the country less safe. joining us, senator ben cardin, the top democrat on the senate foreign relations committee.
5:18 am
good morning, senator. >> good to be with you. thank you. >> what do you think is next for the travel ban? >> it's hard to predict what the president will do. i was pleased to see the courts held that the ban will not go into effect pending the litigation and that he pointed out there's real merit this may be unconstitutional. the point is, the ban makes us less safe. it will be used as a recruitment by terrorist organizations. we've been told that by leaders in the middle east. we know it puts americans at risk when they travel. we also know we already do extreme vetting for the refugees coming into this country. it was inconceived and we hope we'll never see it again. >> i think this has become a democratic talking point. we hear a lot of democratic leaders tell us. the travel ban will be used as an isis tool. stands to reason, makes sense. but how do you know that? what foreign leaders have told
5:19 am
you that they've seen that in action? >> i talked to king abdullah from jordan just about ten days ago, he mentioned that, he said isis is losing its caliphate, losing its territory and they need to recruit to be relevant. we give them material for recruitment when we impose what is said to be a muslim ban. that's how it's perceived internationally. that's used by isis to say it's relevant to join us in this fight against the west. >> the president and his senior advisers say they believe the travel ban will keep us safer. stephen miller, one of his top policy advisers said something yesterday about presidential power that raised some eyebrows. listen to this. >> our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions that the powers of the president to protect our country are very
5:20 am
substantial and will not be questioned. >> what does that mean that the powers of the president will not be questioned? >> one thing mr. miller said is that none of our branches are supreme. that applies to the executive branch. we have checks and balances. the court is exercising that checks and balance. congress should weigh in on the immigration issues, also. we should pass comprehensive immigration reform. the senate did that a couple years ago. we need to do that and get that done. but the president does not have all power. his power is restricted under the constitution. he's subject to the constitution. >> when you hear his policy advisers say the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions that the powers of the president are very substantial -- to protect the country are very substantial and will not be questioned, what do you plan to do with that feeling that they believe that they will do something that cannot be questioned. >> mr. miller's comments have me
5:21 am
very concerned, the tone of his comments have me concerned. we should be working together with our international partners. we already have extreme vetting for the refugee programs. we know self radicalization could be one of our greatest threats where people radicalized born here in america. we need to work together to keep americans safe. the rhetoric from mr. miller does not help bring our nation together. >> michael flynn, national security adviser, what do you believe is his future? >> clearly we are concerned about the statements that he misled the vice president elect during a period of time ability his conversations with the russians through the ambassador. this is part of an ongoing concern we have as to why russia interfered in our elections, what was the motives behind it, what contacts did they make with americans. this is very much of a concern. we need an independent
5:22 am
investigation. i think general flynn, we need to know exactly what conversations he had with the russians during the transition period. >> on that note, tell us about the bipartisan legislation you are introducing in relation to russia that you and congress want to be involved, if there's going to be any easing of sanctions, you don't want general flynn, as i understand stand it, just negotiating this over a phone call. you all want to be consulted. >> senator graham and i, along with others, introduced legislation that would require the president to submit any release of sanctions to congress first, to give us an opportunity to take a look at what he is suggesting, a period for us to weigh in and perhaps either change his mind or take action contrary to what the president is trying to do so remove sanctions. it's similar to the iran nuclear agreement, the consultant required in congress before it could take effect so we can weigh in, the american people can understand why the president would want to eliminate
5:23 am
sanctions against a country that attacked us. we think this is the right role for congress and we're hopeful that this legislation will be considered shortly. >> please keep us posted, senator ben cardin, thanks for being on "new day." over to chris. for all the talk about drama within the white house and its staff, is the president really considering a shakeup? we'll get the bottom line from ron brownstein, the political professor, next.
5:27 am
national security adviser michael flynn going from no, i didn't discuss sanctions with russia to i don't recollect whether or not it happened has him under fire. talking about sanctions with russia before the president took office could be seen as wrong. let's talk about what's going to happen with the white house, the ples secretary keeps getting lampooned on "snl" for his combative style. is there going to be a shakeup. let's get the "the bottom line" with ron brownstein. do you think anything changes? >> you have different
5:28 am
categories. general flynn has a very specific, tangible, bounded problem that there is a growing consensus he misled other senior administration officials and in effect left them out to dry including the vice president. i think that's hard to survive in the long run. on the other sierksd reince priebus is facing sean spicer as press secretary and communications director, it's a different problem. you have an administration that has opened up with wobbles on the cart. the gallup poll yesterday was 55%. there's never been anything remotely like that. trump has shown he has no aversion to shaking things up. replacing his chief of staff this fast i think would more feed the sharks than dissuade them. >> let's look at the graphic we have of trump team power players as we know them. kellyanne, reince priebus, steve
5:29 am
bannon, jared kushner, his son-in-law, stephen miller who is making the rounds obviously yesterday, the first time he was sort of on the national stage. president trump, in fact, tweeted congratulations, great job representing me, stephen miller, though he misrepresented some facts. we have sean spicer and we have michael flynn, of course, his future is unclear at the moment. who do you think has the president's ear, of all these power players, how do you think all the power is being divided in the white house? >> i think the man with the plan from the beginning has been steve bannon. he has the broad eflt vision which i think president trump shares of realigning the parties along a new fracture, building a blue collar, insular party that views globalization around the world and elites at home as a threat. i think he is the one most in tune with the broad sense of trumpism and where trump wants to go. the upper reaches of the white
5:30 am
house remind me of the first white house i covered, ronald regan where you had jim baker, the brilliant kind of mainstream politician, you had ed meis, and you can put rooens priebus, stephen bannon and jared kushner into the same roles today. the difference is i think baker was a supreme political operator, probably the greatest of our lifetime. reince priebus is having trouble holding these different power centers in line and keeping them moving in the same direction. >> i don't think any of them would like being compared to bannon at this point. let me ask you something, ron, what do you think the reason is that the administration isn't doing more to highlight what it's been doing with business. this guy is meeting -- the president is meeting with the prime minister of canada to talk about women and wages. he's met with more business leaders, from small business, medium-sized business, specific industries than we've seen any president do in this kind of
5:31 am
period. it is never at the top of what they want to talk about. why? >> it's an area of frustration i think for republicans because they believe that is why he got elected above all, that it was voters who felt left behind by the economic change, in many cases bsly demographic change. he as a business person was most likely to bring back prosperity to these places that hadn't seen it. that statistic so arresting from the brookings institution, hillary clinton won less than 1/6 of the counties in the country, two-thirds of the economic output of the country. it is the places that feel left behind in the economy that elected trump. steve bannon had envisioned a realigning of american politics. there's a lot of ideology, a lot about immigration, a lot about trade embedded in that. i think those other priorities compete for time and space on the president's agenda and in their public messaging. no question that the economic focus has been overshadowed and that may help explain why he's
5:32 am
looking at this 40% approval, 55% disapproval in gallup. unprecedented doesn't even describe it. >> yesterday we saw that illustrated on the sunday shows. there was stephen miller, one of his top policy advisers, talking again about the vast voter fraud that went on in the 2016 election without presenting any evidence other than the anecdotal evidence that he has heard, as have many people, i've heard it for over a decade, the thousands of people on buses coming across the state lines from massachusetts to new hampshire to throw the election in new hampshire. he has no evidence of it. we invited him on our program this morning. he said i'll go anywhere any time to have this conversation, but he declined our invitation this morning. why are they continuing to beat this drum when all of the authors of the studies on which
5:33 am
they're basing their false claims say they're misrepresenting our findings? >> first of all, you had a chorus of leading republicans in new hampshire including the former attorney general, and one of the most prominent republican strategists saying this is completely groundless. not only is it no evidence, but it is affirmatively wrong. i think the explanation of why they are doing this, kind of the interpretation has evolved. it started, and people think it's personal pride. the president didn't want to admit he lost the popular vote, it had to be voter fraud. i think it becomes more clear this is something anti something else. this may be clearly about laying a predicate for tighter restrictions on voting, many of the things that the obama administration fought in court as states have tried to tighten access to the polling place. they may be paving the way towards supporting, and another round of bottles i think now and not only the state level, but potentially the federal level
5:34 am
about access to the voting booth. >> i tell you what, there you do have a potential fraud case to be made about voter suppression and what's been going on with laws around the country that are creating disparities. >> ron, thank you very much. always great to talk to you. >> thank you, guys. another important story, heroin overdoses have been speaking in one american city. dozens of calls in the space of just a few hours. so what families say might be behind the spike. that's next. you want to make your enamel sure to protect it,

5:49 am
wife went to check in as she regularly did with immigration officials. >> well, she went wednesday, as every year, just to do a normal check-in with i.c.e. for the past eight years she's been doing the same thing, checking in with them with no problem. what changed last wednesday and they decided to arrest her and then deport her. >> mr. maldonado, explain what happened, why this happened. again, here is a woman who was brought here at 14 years old through no choice of her own by her parents. she has two u.s.-born children. the trump administration has always said that they would prioritize the murderers, the rapist, not the people who were law abiding, hard working people. what was guadalupe's crime. >> her crime was trying to find a better life for her children
5:50 am
than she had growing up. if you're undocumented in this community, you have to use a fake social security number. she was arrested in one of the unconstitutional raids by our notorious sheriff here joe arpaio, given a criminal conviction. now under trump's new orders, she's a priority for deportation. anybody arrested for a crime before now falls within the net of a priority for deportation. we have to be careful about these new executive orders from president trump. >> how old are you children? >> my son is 16, my daughter is 14. >> how are they experiencing this family tumultuous situation that happened last week? >> well, they're heartbroken. you can see them -- they're strong, but inside we're heartbroken. i can't even explain how it is to be without my wife, go in the house and see the house empty
5:51 am
without her. it's really hard. >> your children have been able to see her? >> yes. they were with her when she got deported. they spent a couple days with her before she went back to her hometown, or where she was born. i shouldn't say hometown because it's not really her hometown. >> what does this mean? will the children have to cross the border and go to mexico to be with their mother? what does this mean? >> if nothing is fixed, yes, that's what it is. they have to cross the border to a different country to see their mom. >> what have they told you about that? >> well, we haven't really talked much because they left as soon as their mom got deported. so we haven't really talked about that. it's really hard. they're really strong. i admire how strong they are. but inside we're heartbroken. it is really unfair.
5:52 am
this is really sad you know. >> mr. maldonado, i though you said you believe women like guadalupe are now the priority for the trump administration. that's very different than what we've heard. she's not a hardened criminal, she's not a violent criminal. why is she the first? >> well, that's what's so dangerous about these new executive orders. they put into the priority essentially anybody who was here undocumented. our community could possibly be facing one of the biggest mass deportations in the history of the united states if president trump follows through in what he's written in his executive orders. this is the first deportation under president trump's executive orders. there could be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, like this family that could be suffering in the near future if we don't stop him and do something about it right now. >> mr. maldonado, this is what he campaigned on. he has legions of supporters who
5:53 am
say the initial crime of crossing the border that does, therefore, make them guilty of a criminal act. his supporters think that this does help secure the border. so what is the plan? >> no doubt. this is a declaration of war, these executive orders, on the immigrant community. the plan is for our community to come together, organize, educate ourselves about our rights and be prepared to fight to stop deportations. in the case of guadalupe, she didn't go down without a fight and neither did the community. those of us in arizona have been fighting quite a long time against the anti immigrant sentiment. seven people were arrested stopping the van in which she was in. we need more actions like that across the country. we have to do everything we can legally, everything we can politically. but when the time comes, we have to be ready to get down in the street and fight. >> guadalupe's husband, when will you see her again? >> we'll see. i don't know yet for sure.
5:54 am
we're going to keep on fighting until we bring her back. >> gentlemen, thank you very much. please keep us updated on the story. we'll follow it. >> thank you. tough stories out there. how about a little "good stuff" how about a little "good stuff" to start our weekoff. years in . impressive! current qualified lessees can sign and drive this chevy equinox for around $232 a month. plus, find your tag and get an additional $750 lease cash on select equinox vehicles in stock. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.
