that we just allow consenting adults between two people, and i think there are all kinds of people that have different arrangements in today's society. to say if you have more than one person you are a criminal or it's inherently bad, that's wrong. i don't think that holds the muster on the way things are today. >> valerie, why is it better to allow this? must be one of the 24 kids that you have wanting to get you, joe. i am sure that thing is always ringing off the hook. what do you want people to know about how you live because they are going to come at it jud judgment judgmentally. what do you want people to know? >> i think the hard part is they are criminalizing adult consensual behavior. for us, because we choose to be

together and choose to raise our family together and we view it as a beautiful thing, our kids get to grow up and have brothers and sisters, and have four parents, right, and we as parents get to have a whole unit to draw from, and then we raise the kids together, and i think that's the thing that people miss. they get hung up on the sexual part of it, or that there's some abuse or oppression, and that's not the case for us and many families we know. >> as you know when people see you the questions start popping, my phone is hot, i am sure my twitter feed is blowing up with how this works and why you want it, and they will find out in the story, and you are not the main focus because this is what is going on in flds, and there is another side, and thank you for coming on "new day" this morning.

hope you are well. >> thank you. >> you have to watch tomorrow night, secret lives, secret places, tomorrow 9:00 p.m. eastern on hln. you will see a place that you can't believe it exists and you will see how they live and why they say they are different. we have big headlines this morning. let's get after it. good morning to you. welcome to your "new day" if you are just joining us. alisyn is off, and poppy is j n joining me. up first, donald trump is declaring the new york terrorists should be executed. the president must be watching the show, because sending him to guantanamo, it doesn't bare out in prosecutions, and now he's saying the terrorists should stay in new york and he did call the justice system a joke.

we are learning stunning new details about the horrific attack in this city. the prosecutors say the plot was in the works for a year and that he planned to continue the murderous rampage all the way down over the brooklyn bridge and beyond. we have it covered this morning. let's go to the white house first. that's where we find joe johns. this is a stunning about-face. yesterday it was gitmo, and today it's staying here in the court in new york. >> we have seen this before from trump how he is sort of letting the public read his mind as he tries to make up his mind about the issues. picking up on yesterday's themes about the death penalty for the suspect in new york, and sending him to guantanamo bay. let's read the tweets. the first one, would love to send the new york city terrorists to guantanamo, but statistically that process takes

longer than going through the federal system. and then there's also something appropriate of keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. should move fast, death penalty, the president writes. this all follows on quite a day when the president really talked about all the issues surrounding what happened in new york, the terrorists attack, and even called out the democrats into a debate over immigration. >> diversity lottery, sounds nice. it's not nice. >> reporter: overnight president trump tweeting the suspect should get the death penalty, and he also said he should be going to guantanamo. >> send him to gitmo. i would consider that, yes. we want to immediately work with congress on the diversity

lottery program on terminating it, getting rid of it. >> the president calling for an end to the diversity visa lottery program, a program that allowed the new york city terror suspect to gain entry into the u.s. in 2010, and demanding congress get tougher on vetting for immigrants coming to the u.s., shifting it away from a family-based toward a merit-based. >> we have to get much less politically correct. we are so politically correct we are afraid to do anything. >> and the president blaming chuck schumer for implementing the program and endangering the program. >> and schumer helped to craft the bill in 1990, and schumer was also known of a bipartisan group to end the program. >> the president ought to stop

tweeting and start leading. it's less than a day than after it occurred and he can't refrain from his nasty divisive habits. he ought to lead. >> president trump venting his frustration that u.s. courts are too slow and too lenient. >> we have to come up with a punishment far quicker and far greater than the punishment these animals are getting right now. what we have right now is a joke, and it's a laughingstock. >> sarah sanders mischaracterizing the president's remarks when asked by a reporter. >> he said the system -- >> he said the process has people calling us a joke, and calling us a laughingstock. >> the president's comments and tweets after the new york attacks starkly different from his response to the mass shooting in las vegas that left 58 dead and injuring hundreds more. the president dismissing the

idea of discussing gun control as inappropriate. >> we will not talk about that right now. >> it took 24 hours for trump to reach out to new york's leaders after the attack, and the governor making clear the president's tweets are a distraction. >> the president's tweets, i think, were not helpful. i don't think they were factual. i think they tended to point fingers and politicize the situation. >> today is expected to be another big day here at the white house. the top item on the agenda is the rolling out of the president's federal reserve chairman. back to you. >> thank you very much. let's bring in david gregory and cnn law enforcement analyst, james gall yawn yo. first, let us celebrate. here's something we have not seen happen. we know the president often

watches this show, and we are grateful for his attention. we have been pounding on the facts about the idea that it sounds good to want to punish this animal, this savage that did what happened in new york city. everybody feels like that if your heart is pumping, but the idea of sending him to gitmo only fed a misperception of vengeance. the president said it because he was playing to feelings. hopefully after watching this morning and realizing he said something else. put up his most recent tweet, please. all right, would love to send the nyc terrorist to guantanamo, but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the federal system. there's also something appropriate of keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. should move fast. death penalty. good for the president, but this

is a big change. listen to what he said yesterday. >> mr. president, do you want the assailant from new york sent to gitmo. >> i would certainly consider that, yes. >> are you considering that now, sir? >> i would certainly consider that, send him to gitmo. >> the feelings of outrage, and -- >> but he changed overnight. >> he changed because the facts defy the intentionality. he said something else about the death penalty. there's little question that this particular perpetrator checks at least two of the boxes of the 1994 death penalty law, but saying it that way really made prosecutors upset. why? >> you never want an investigation and a subsequent prosecution to be tainted with things that are prejudicial. a lot of people were critical

when president obama weighed in on the cambridge professor arrest there, and they said it's hard to weigh in when it's a fair and impartial jury. when you look at the term enemy combatant. we go to 1812, we go to the war between mexico and the united states in 1846, and then you go basically to 1941, the attack on pearl harbor. there's a definite distinction between a state actor that attacks us and a person. again, the global war on terror, there's a nebulous view on how we treat these folks. are they enemy combatants? you can argue that. but they don't adhere to a state but allege ideology.

>> the president still potentially tainted the jury pool and discredited the justice sit upl in this country, the due process and that doesn't go away and that's significant. >> it's not the first time we have seen this president have a fairly small level of patience when it comes to judicial system. it has been a thorn in his side in many ways, we have seen it in the various tweets, and the gitmo thing plays into that, too. he doesn't like the slower pace of the judicial system. the fact that we have the slower paced judicial system than other countries, and we have separation of powers for a reason and that has become a frustration to the president. he makes his opinion known and he is, you know, not inclined necessarily to see that distinction between the branches

of government and say i shouldn't really weigh in on this because when he has strong feelings about something, he just says it, and especially when it has to do with a policy of his or a moment of crisis in the country, he's not one -- if he has a strong opinion about it to keep his counsel. >> what does that tell us about las vegas? there were really big issues to be discussed. james and i were standing next to each other out there in las vegas, and the bump stock was staring us all in the face, and they said not now, not now, respect the victims. here we have a terror attack, and the president doesn't come out of the box and address the victims and he addresses the policy of the visa and blames democrats. >> it's sad to look at the distinction. when we have the actors that commit mass shootings who are americans, we seem to have limits on what we are really willing to do as a country and what our political system is willing to do to try to get to

answers and prevent them from happening again. here there's such a focus, and that has been true on 9/11 on taking extreme action from war to immigration controls to torture to try and crack down on terrorists even though their impact is comparatively smaller outside of 9/11. i think the real focus now for the administration, for congress, is to look at the phenomenon here. somebody who comes here legally and gets radicalized, that's rare because america is a great country, and trying to do a better job monitoring somebody that can be acting alone, motivated not by a state but by an ideology, that's where the focus ought to be. unfortunately the president really thinks out loud, and when

you are president, you should be much more reasoned. i, for one, as a journalist and a citizen am offended to have to listen to the white house spokes persons come out and be untruthful about what the president just said and waste all of our time, because they are in a tough position where they have to explain the fact that the president said something that was outlandish. >> let's remind our viewers of the stark difference between the way the president responded to questions about the gun control and what could be done in the wake of the las vegas attack compared to what he said after the new york attack. first las vegas, look at this. >> we'll be looking into that. i am going to ask congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program. diversity lottery, sounds nice,

it's not nice, it's not good. >> the white house insisted, james, time and time again now is not the time to have the situation about gun control, why don't you, the media, respect the victims? isn't finding solutions the ultimate respect for victims? >> i think for even arden supporters of the president, it's hard not to see the contrast. that vegas shooting on october 1st, and then had the new york attack on october 31st. with that bump fire stock, that shooter out in vegas was able to basically do an equal amount of damage to the most dangerous, the most casualty-causing conflict we fought in iraq, which was the battle of fallujah november to december of 2004.

82 dead. 600 casualties, versus 58 dead, 500 casualties. it's unconscionable how you can look and draw such a start contrast to let's not rush to judgment to now in the wake of the terror attack where it's right away screaming death penalty. we all feel that way. most people in law enforcement, we go to that side, but we don't want the president getting ahead of the prosecution. >> one thought. he's go overseas to april, and one of the people he will meet there is the strong man that has taken everything that is the an 'tis sus of due process. what will he read into that? >> we will see. >> thank you. congress releasing some of the social media ads bought by a

russian troll farm and paid for in raoubles. how aware were these big social media platforms of what they were allowing on their sights. the ranking member of the house intel committee takes it on. linn to remove plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums. for healthy gums and strong teeth. leave bleeding gums behind with parodontax toothpaste. our recent online sales success seems a little... strange?nk na. ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. they're affordable and fast... maybe "too affordable and fast." what if...

ruble. ruble. president trump acknowledging facts this morning

that sending a prisoner to guantanamo may sound tough but it's unrealistic and uneffective. now he tweeted he amends his position, he thinks the new york city terror suspect should stay in new york, and he said our justice system is a joke. let's discuss with the top democrat on the house intel committee, let's start with that idea. the president is just wrong about guantanamo bay being a better way to get quick prosecutions of terror suspects than the federal judiciary system, and every metric proves that, and are you surprised he changed a position to face facts? >> i am not surprised that his initial outburst proved to be wrong-headed and ill considered. it's sometimes surprising to see him recognize that, although i am sure he would tell you that's

not the reason he changed it. >> let's take the words on the face. if you support somebody doing the right thing, sometimes you get more of that behavior. >> this is not the first time he has taken pot shots at our justice system. when judges ruled against him on the muslim ban, he called them so-called judges. these assaults on our mainstream institutions are having an affect and eroding confidence. that's a tremendous disservice. i don't think he deserved a lot of love for this. >> that seems pretty clear. let's go to what he's saying about your investigation as what he still sees as largely a hoax. he also said to the "new york times" i'm not under investigation, as you know, this has nothing to do with me. is that true? >> i can't comment on who is under investigation.

i will leave that to robert mueller to disclose or not disclose. >> why can't you talk about it? >> i am not permitted to talk about it. all i can tell you, chris, is that the people that were indicted, manafort and gates, obviously played deep roles within the trump campaign, and george papadopoulos, and the face there's no hint of collusion don't stand up. mr. papadopoulos was one of the witnesses on our list, and it's my hope that the cooperation agreement he reached with the government will require not only his cooperation with mueller's team but with congressional investigators as well. >> i am asking about the president, is he under investigation by your committee? >> our committee is not

investigating people in a sense of bringing about a prosecution, that's not our role. we are looking at the whole range of actors in terms of what kind of relationship did they have with the russians, and so we are not excluding anybody from that. we are determined, at least on our side of the aisle we certainly are, to follow the facts where they lead and we hope republicans are as well. mueller has a very different responsibility obviously, and there's a specific connotation to being a suspect in a criminal investigation as opposed to a witness or person of interests, and i will have to leave it to mr. mueller to answer those questions. >> the ads that were all over social media, we know the exposure was certainly in excess of 100 million americans. we are looking at some of them right now. a couple points. one is, do you believe they are being forthcoming, the operators of the sites in terms of how many ads they are sharing and

their desire to do something about it? >> i think they are certainly providing us with the evidence they have obtained and what they have discovered on their platforms. i think many of us feel because initially they didn't think there was russian advertising, and then there was some and tphe then there was more, and i think there's more to come. the big impact was the organic material, the fake pages that got people to like them, and then encouraged people to protest or rally. >> what can they do about it? this is one of those things that looks good on it's face, yeah, shut it down, none of this fake stuff? how do you see it as a balance with the first amendment? these sites are all about giving people opportunity. now you are asking them to sensor? i get that people like the feel of it, but this is a tricky thing to do, is it not? >> it is tricky, and there's very difficult questions here, but there are also simple

questions. one of the simple questions is, should we require that political ads carry a disclaimer the way they do when they are on your show or in print media, and i think the answer is yes. we are going to require that. there's a case where there's an easy bright line in terms of fairing out foreign government aimed at our elections, and while that's an easy policy line to draw, the tech companies can use our help in terms of the intelligence community when we identify russian troll farms, and if we can identify that to the companies it will help take down this propaganda. when we are talking about oeu ordinary russians or other citizens in other countries, they ought to be able to participate in social media.

how do those foreign entities try to comment. what about the affect of the algorithms in our society, and it may get us to focus on a platform but may do that because they have content that goes viral easy that makes us angry or fearful, what is the societal obligation? >> i see it. we look forward to seeing a path ahead on this. thank you for being with us, as always. why is the president taking on the u.s. judicial system in response to the new york city terror attack? by all accounts, it's working as it should. peter king with his perspective ahead.

the spanish/american war. >> i want to take you to one of the worst-performing economies in the world. the unemployment rate is only 35%. >> 11.5%. >> 45% live in poverty. >> the biggest bankruptcy in u.s. history? >> only 5% of the population has fled. >> but what is it like for puerto ricans, many have left for an easier life in the states, and more keep leaving, but not all. >> i'm so glad that clip began with you saying, it's america, right? it's important to remind people, 3.5 million americans there, and

they need to be treated equally to all those that went through the hurricanes in texas and florida. >> but they are not. >> you filmed that before the hurricane, and you have been trying to get in touch with the folks you were in touch with. >> they serve in the military, and they are americans but can't vote in determine their own destiny. now they are so in debt, mostly to hedge funds, the type of hedge fund often called a vulture debt that bought their debt and they are now administered by an unelected group of representatives of these hedge funds who can squeeze the place dry any way they like. they decide this much goes to schools, this much is coming out of retirement accounts, you

don't need this happen. the people owed money, they get paid first. whatever rate they want. >> the president talked about at one point forgiving their debt and wiping it out, and he doesn't have the authority to do that. i couldn't believe 11.5% sales tax, higher than here in new york. this is unsustainable for them. you talk about them having no power to control their own destiny. what do you want people to walk away from sunday night with? >> i am not a hard news reporter, but i would like people to watch this show and see who -- who these people are. meet them and hear them and admire the people who stayed, the teachers who stayed, the doctors who stayed when they knew they could make a better living for themselves in the states. they are determined to stay and fight it through and do what they can for their people. >> and there are incredible

individuals that have gone down there, like the chef who served 1 million meals. >> he's on his way to 3 million, and he served, as i understand it -- jose went down without any organization, and he went first. he had a -- oh, my god, i forget, he had a non-profit behind him, and when he arrived he had nothing but the desire to cook. the salvation army was asking him for food at one point. an extraordinary individual. >> the power of one individual. you have been outspoken on this and it has your mind working a lot now. sexual harassment culture pervasive, and being discussed, punishments, and being handed down for some of the folks

handing down the acts, and you have felt guilt for validating that culture? >> i spent nearly 30 years in the restaurant industry, an industry and culture that has been traditionally pervasively hostile to women. i celebrated that -- it was a very difficult 30 years, and in my first book that made my career, i think i -- i was so proud of having survived that i rom romanticized that culture and celebrated it in a way that i think unintentionally but it validated the worst instincts of meat head bro culture. >> first it's an acknowledgment and you are talking about it in a way many people wouldn't acknowledge. where is your head now on what

can i do, and how can i use my platform, my fame, to advance it in the other way. >> i think, unfortunately, it's unrealistic to expect people who have been in the business for a long time, men in particular, to change their hearts and minds. >> why? >> i would hope they do. >> why? why unrealistic? >> i am not that optimistic about the human race, and i do hope that people will have to consider what they see and how they behave. you know, people that stood by and observed harassment, coercion -- what we are learning now is that to stay silent has a real costs. you will be called into account for that. you will be asked what you did when you saw this. whether you have a good heart or not, i think the reality of the situation in this rapidly changing field is that people

will be forced to do the right thing. >> this is a moment of reckoning for sure across the industries, but is it a tipping point? meaning it went from roger ailes, bill o'reilly, harvey weinstein and mark halperin, and there are more out there. is it a tipping point where change -- i know you are not overly optimistic, but could this be a moment of actual change? >> any company, any restaurant group of any size that hopes to continue to make a profit are going to have to, have to, have some viable human resources, some avenue for women to go and have their complaints and their allegations addressed in a credible way. >> you know gretchen who brought down roger ailes, hr is not always there for you? >> hr is going to have to

change. a credible -- a credible, you know, outlet that could be trusted by people to go and say this is what happened, and i expect you to investigate it and do something about it. i think that's at least -- i think we can expect that, at least. >> is it incumbent on men and women in powerful positions and voices to come out and be uncomfortably honest for them -- it's not comfortable for you to say i did not stand up where i should, but do they need to say here's where i screwed up, don't do this? >> i think a lot of us will be rightly called out and we will have to say something. we were talking -- you know, we both have kids. i will have to talk to my daughter some day and she will ask me, what did you do, daddy, when you were confronted? what did you do?

which side were you on? >> we were looking at onesies for our son on the way, and i saw one that said feminist, and i said let's get this for our daughter, and my husband said, let's get that for our son. i was glad to hear that. >> good start. >> on sunday night, 9:00 p.m. on sunday, "parts unknown." >> you are a lot more than food and that's why your show is so intriguing. good to have you on. president trump wavering on where the terror suspect of new york city should be tried. he has faced the facts that his initial position is not true. taxes and more, next. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders

connect with medical teams in near real time... stay with me, mr. parker. ...saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that's the power of and.

accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment.

a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it. president trump commenting again on the terror attack in new york city amid concerns he is politicizing the issue, and he is. his latest tweets recognize that the facts don't support his furor. the idea that sending a terror

suspect to gitmo sounds good and harsh, but it's also unrealistic. he says that now. he uses that word. the president also looks at the criminal justice system and calls it a joke and laughingstock. president trump, though, however is saying at least the new york suspect should be tried here, and he also says he should be executed, something prosecutors did not want to hear because it can taint a jury. peter king of new york, always good to see you, sir. doing well? >> doing fine, chris. how about you? >> good. let me ask you, the comments, the turn about on gitmo, and you know your facts, and you know the prosecutions are better off in our federal system and gitmo is no expedient machine. >> i am not the person who

oppos oppos oppos opposed gitmo, if they are captured overseas, and you give them rights if they are in the u.s. itself. in this case, all it would do is delay it, on and on. again, the southern district of new york is efficient. the evidence is there, and to me it's the right thing to do and as far as talking about capital punishment, i understand why the president felt this way. i go back to the days of richard nixon and he called charles manson a murderer during the trial and almost caused a mistrial. whatever they say can cause a mistrial or have the trial delayed. >> we had the speaker ryan walk behind you and he has been quiet about what the president does. you have taken the time to talk to us on camera and we appreciate that.

do you believe our justice system is a joke? do people say it's a laughingstock? >> criticism here on both sides, when you have people from the left who talk about how it's pro police and anti-minority, and people on the right say it's a giveaway to terrorists. it is by far the best legal system in the world. i have not practiced law in many years but the adversarial system and the jury system, it's a great check on power. it does protect peoples' rights and gets the job done. on terror cases in new york, they have had excellent results. the bomber from last year, that has already gone to trial. >> if he's wrong on the facts, and he is impugning the integrity of our justice system, shouldn't that be called out by other elected leaders? >> well, i basically support the president on key issues and on this it's important for me as a

member and a member of congress to say there are imperfections of the legal system, and i can disagree with supreme court decisions, and sometimes prosecutors or defense attorneys go too far, but as your father served, he would say this is the best system we could every have, and it does the best to control it and bring justice. >> we are looking at the russian investigation and you have seen the first indictments, and the surprise obviously was papadopoulos cutting a deal because he lied. we could put up a graphic, if we wanted to, and you have have a dozen people that mislead about meetings with russians, with different degrees of severity of what that could mean to an investigator. in your estimate does this have nothing to do with the campaign in light of what we have learned so far?

do you think that's a fair statement to say this has nothing to do with the campaign? >> manafort indictment -- again, i am on the intelligence committee and i have to watch how i say that because we are doing the investigation, i have seen no evidence yet indicating any collusion. and there's statements from my kul cohen and john podesta, and i can go through all of the main figures, there's no evidence yet linking anybody to collusion, and even in the case of papadopoulos, the e-mails -- first of all the president did say he wanted to open up more relations with russia, and i can can understand why a staff person was thinking he's getting out front. and they said they could not do it, if you are involved in collusion, you are not going to clear it with the nato allies. and even the meeting with donald trump, jr., if anything that

shows there was no collusion, and the person was talking about the russian government helping and he's taking pictures of himself checking into trump tower, and the meeting lasted ten or 20 minutes. mistakes were made but as far as any collusion i don't see it yet but i am keeping an open mind. >> congressman king, thank you for opportunity to talk about it with us, and you are always welcome here. >> us guys from queens, it's the way we talk, you know. >> it's true. you have a better head of hair, so thank you. >> you are better looking than your brother. >> that's a low bar. >> john berman picks it up right after the break. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me?

full-bodied. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it.
