ndgth e perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. eric: well, more fallout from that federal judge's ruling to suspend president trump's order on immigration that is also now having a worldwide ripping effect. u.s. customs and border patrol saying it is business as usual, and the state department has reinstated any visas that had been revoked. international airlines at this moment have begun allowing the residents of those mostly muslim countries affected by the order. they're now being allowed to travel to the united states, and this means the president is lashing out at what he calls an outrageous order. i'm eric shawn and welcome to a brand new hour of america's news headquarters.
2:01 pm
arthel: and i'm arthel neville, president trump firing off a new tweet just moments ago. here it is. because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. a terrible decision, the tweet reads. meanwhile, the trump administration has pledge today appeal the ninth circuit court immediately. all of this setting up a possible legal battle that could end up in front of the high court. we have live team coverage on this. garrett tenney is at the president's estate in palm beach, but we begin with molly henneberg in washington. so, molly, let's start with you, and tell us more about what the judge finds here and how he finds the executive order to be unconstitutional or not. >> reporter: he didn't write in his order that he found it unconstitutional, arthel. u.s. district court judge claims that the plaintiffs in this case had legal footing to challenge the executive order, so he agreed to a temporary
2:02 pm
restraining order, or tro, because he said the states, quote, have shown they are likely to succeed on the merits of the claims that would into ee them to relief. the states are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, and a tro is in the public interest. robart, appointed by president bush, says his tro applies nationwide. this is at odds with the decision of another federal judge in massachusetts who said the trump administration did have the authority on national security grounds to apply extra vetting measures to travelers coming into the country from those seven nations mentioned in the executive order. arthel: molly, meanwhile, what does the d. of homeland security do now? >> reporter: for now, the department of homeland security is following the seattle judge's order. dhs said in a statement, quote: in accordance with the judge's ruling,dhs has suspended any and all actions implementing the
2:03 pm
effective sections of the executive order. the order is intended to protect the homeland and the american people, and the president has no higher duty and responsibility than to do so. but the attorney general of the state of washington, one of the plaintiffs in this case, says he will, quote, make sure president trump honors the judge's decision. >> it's obviously a historic decision and an important one for the rule of law and for the people of the state of washington and the people of our country. i said from the beginning it is not the loudest voice that prevails in a courtroom. it's the constitution. >> reporter: now what happens? it's likely that this case will go before the ninth circuit court of appeals and then possibly up to the supreme court. arthel? arthel: molly henneberg, thanks. eric? eric: as the white house prepares to fight that ruling with the justice department
2:04 pm
going to the ninth circuit, the president is expressing his frustration with the federal judge criticizing him with more tweets this afternoon. garrett tenney is live from palm beach, florida, where the president is spending the weekend. hi, garrett. >> reporter: hey, eric. if you want the know how president trump feels about something, you often have to look no further than his twitter account, and today it's clear he is not happy with judge james robart. twice today he has criticized the judge's ruling, beginning this morning. he sent out a series of tweets in response including: when a country is no longer able to say who and cannot come in and out especially for reasons of safety and security, big trouble. he also added: the opinion of this so-called judge which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country is ridiculous and will be overturned. then just an hour ago, over an hour ago he returned to mar-a-lago, and he tweeted: what is our country coming to when a judge can halt a homeland
2:05 pm
security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into the u.s.? now, the white houses has indicated it plans to immediately begin the process of getting that judge's order overturned and getting the president's executive order reinstated. now, that is just one of a number of things the white house is dealing with, and today they say they have a number of big issue plans coming up for this next week that they are preparing for. this past hour the president also had a couple of phone calls with international leaders. italy's prime minister and ukraine's president. tonight though he and the first lady will dress up for the 60th annual red cross gal la at mar lag go where they will be attending. eric: all right, that's a big event. thanks so much. arthel? arthel: meanwhile, thousands of protesters taking to the streets across the country today as well as around the world denouncing president trump's immigration policy. marchers in washington taking their message from trump international hotel to the supreme court.
2:06 pm
and there are dueling protests at the los angeles airport, we're talking about both supporters and critics of the ban. and now a protest march against president trump is getting started this hour in palm beach, florida, where the president -- as garrett just reported -- is spending the weekend. steve harrigan joins us from west palm beach with the latest there. steve? >> reporter: arthel, the crowd has been gathering steadily for the last hour or so, about 5-600 people now. that number's expected to grow to perhaps a couple of thousand, so large that the initial organizer of this march towards mar-a-lago, donald trump's club here in west palm beach, initially backed out and turned it over to more seasoned organizers. there's a pretty heavy police presence along the road. the protesters have homemade signs and they are chanting, but they are not blocking the roadways. at mar-a-lago club tonight is a red cross ball. president trump is expected to app tend, and these protesters are going to march there to try and get as close as they can,
2:07 pm
but they're not likely to get within a mile of the club. this protest mirrors several others throughout the country today in philadelphia and in houston as well, also protests overseas including a large one this london, several thousand people going out in the street in downtown london to protest both recent u.s. immigration policies as well as a possible state visit by donald trump to the u.k. sometime later this year. arthel, back to you. arthel: steve harrigan, thank you very much. eric? eric: arthel, vice president mike pence giving his support to president tr pick just a few hours ago. early this afternoon he spoke in philadelphia with members of the federalist society. the vice president praising judge neil gorsuch's record and calling confirmation of the appeals court justice essential, he said. in his words, to reaffirm the primacy of our constitution. [applause] >> this is a historic time for our country. we're on the verge, literally,
2:08 pm
of reaffirming the supremacy of the constitution and our nation's supreme court. we're giving a new voice to the age-old vision of our founding fathers. we're rededicating ourselves and our country to the timeless principles that they proclaimed only a few steps away from right where we're standing today. eric: democrats have threatened to block gorsuch's confirmation by filibuster. if that were to happen, republicans would need to muster 60 votes in the senate in order to get him confirmed. and be be sure to tune in to fox news sunday tomorrow because our chris wallace is live in houston at the super bowl. he'll be interviewing vice president pence about the first two weeks of the new administration. catch fox news sunday right here on the news channel at 2 p.m. and 11 p.m. eastern, but also it's on in the morning on your local fox station, but you can always catch it right here if you missed it or want to see it twice. arthel: this is a fox news alert.

iran launching a new military exercise issuing a warning to other nations. an iranian military official saying, quote: if the enemy does not walk the line, our missiles come down on them, end quote. this a day after the trump administration imposed new sanctions on tehran over the country's recent missile test. be rich edson reports from be washington with the latest. >> reporter: the trump administration has sanctioned more than two dozen iranian entities and springs, and officials warn iran they are preparing to enact more. iran launched another ballistic missile january 29th. an administration official calls that the trigger event for the u.s. to enact these sanctions. officials say the economic restrictions are a response to that missile launch and what they say are iran's support for terrorism and destabilizing activities. >> i think today's sanctions really represent a very, very strong stand against the actions that iran has been taking and
2:10 pm
make it very clear that the deal that they struck previously was not in the best interests of this country and that president trump is going to do everything he can to make sure that iran is stayed in check. >> reporter: administration officials say these latest sanctions against iranians are unrelated to the nuclear agreement. that 2015 deal lifted other sanctions in exchange for curbs on iran's nuclear program. the u.s. says iran's recent missile launch is in violation of a u.n. security council resolution. iran claims its missile program is only for self-defense and says it is unmoved by the trump administration's announcement. >> translator: today i can definitively announce that the backbone of sanctions on defense systems imposed by our enemies is totally destroyed. today we are completely self-sufficient. >> reporter: u.s. lawmakers say they are writing legislation to require even more restrictions against iran. the pentagon has also announced the destroyer uss cole has a arrived off the coast of yemen. the u.s. a accuses iran of backing rebel militias in that
2:11 pm
country who they say have attacked saudi, emirati and u.s. ships. arthel? arthel: rich, thank you very much. eric: uber, you know, they received a lot of flak in the wake of the president's travel ban. now the company is trying to help those who were directly affected. we'll tell you how coming up. arthel: yeah, and also there may be division among the ranks over the president's immigration act, actions. more on that and what happens next in the wake of the latest ruling. plus, the homeland security director newly implemented is speaking exclusively with fox news defending the need to build a wall on the u.s./mexico border. what he says it will be beneficial to both countries. >> i'd like to think that we can make common cause with the mexicans, because once again, all of this has a tremendous impact on their society. on their people. huge numbers of people that have been killed in the last 15-20

as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis
2:14 pm
call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

2:17 pm
department and the department of homeland security reverse course on foreigners with valid visas. the departments now allowing them to travel to the united states, so what's next for the president's immigration policy, is the question now. and is joining me to talk about that is daniel hall per, washington bureau chief for the new york post. daniel, let's talk about what's at play here. is the president being pugnacious, hell bent on fulfilling a campaign promise, or is the president really about the protection of the people of the united states, and is he within his legal limits and rights to appeal? >> well, it could be a little bit of all of those things and be, of course, he's in his legal limits to appeal and to challenge the court ruling. obviously, this judge's say is not the final say, and it'll probably go to higher courts especially since all the courts don't agree on what ruling is at this level. i think we're going to see a lot of legal action. obviously, it's a little strange
2:18 pm
to see the president of the united states attack a judge who may be ruling or has ruled on his, on his executive order. it's not -- lawyers, i think, wouldn't advise that, but, you know, it's probably within his right to do so, and it will be decided at some to point through the legal system. for now it's, obviously, on hold, and people are able to travel at will even from those seven countries affected by the ban. arthel: and you say it's strange to witness this, is so let's talk about that now. how does a potentially protracted legal battle affect the psyche of the public, also the propaganda of the radical terrorists and mr. trump's administration? because there's word that, you know, inside not everybody's on the same page. there are. >> yeah. look, it's a little hard to predict those things. you know, the administration's argument for doing this right now or last week, rather, is because we had to do it in order to prevent perhaps bad actors from getting in. now, of course, the cover's blown. everybody knows that this is
2:19 pm
what the president is trying to do, and it's -- and, you know, they're saying, well, people are going to rush in. in fact, people can't really rush in because you still need a visa, and it's still a long process to get in. it's a little, i think it puts his immigration policies perhaps slightly on hold. we're not really sure how the white house will react. it took a long time for a statement to come last height from the white house which, of course, says they're going to challenge in this court. so, you know, i don't want to start predicting what they're going to do, but clearly they're going to fight for what they want. i think it's worth mentioning that this is just a temporary ban, right? so the travel ban affects, you know, the refugee program which is somewhat permanent, but the travel ban for the seven countries, that's for a 90-day review period, basically, and that is a lead-up to another policy, this extreme vetting policy, which this executive order hasn't, doesn't take care of, right? so there's a lot going on here, and that perhaps slows down that
2:20 pm
process of them coming up with an extreme vetting policy which would be the result of this executive order. arthel: you know, i i want to show some live pictures there from downtown houston which is where all the action is, the super bowl is there tomorrow. but you have some people there outside of the convention center in downtown houston protesting the very subject that you and i are discussing right now, as we will note that not all americans are against the travel ban issued by the president via executive order which is now temporarily on hold. but there are people who are against it. that being said, if mr. trump's presidency is off to a rocky start, daniel. in what areas is he headed in the right direction? >> well, i wouldn't necessarily say that it's off to a rocky start. i think in certain ways he's been very successful in moving his agenda forward. he has done a lot that he said he was going to do on the campaign trail, or at least he's getting it started. a lot of these motions, a lot of these executive orders -- and
2:21 pm
he's taken over 20 since becoming president of the united states just a couple weeks ago -- a lot of them are these campaign promises, but also they're, like this executive order, a lot of them are sort of temporary, you know, we need to figure out how to rebuild the military so it's commissioning reports to figure out how to do these thing, we these to beat isis, we need to commission these reports. so i don't think we can say he's off to a rocky or successful start. we'll see. there's a lot of balls up in the air right now, and they're -- it's not really clear exactly how these things will come down. and it's definitely worth watching because there's just so much at play, and there's so many policies being pushed. but, again, because they're executive actions and not congressional laws, these aren't really permanent, and these are, you know, they're sort of a lot of moving parts here. arthel: a lot of moving parts, for sure, daniel, we'll leave it there. and is want to remind our viewers that our bill o'reilly goes one-on-one with president trump in an interview to air
2:22 pm
tomorrow before the super bowl, so be sure to tune in at 4 p.m. eastern time during pregame coverage on fox television network. and then get even more of their conversation on the o'reilly factor monday and tuesday at 8 p.m. eastern. that's all happening right here on fox news channel. eric: well, bill and the president, it's going to be better than the halftime show tomorrow. arthel: must-see tv, for sure. eric: homeland security secretary john kelly speaking out about keeping us safe. he went one-on-one with fox news. it was his first interview since the president issued that controversial executive order on immigration and the one on the border wall. catherine herridge met with the secretary at the u.s./mexican border where he toured the rio grande and saw firsthand the challenges of securing that border. >> reporter: this is one of the busiest sections of the southwest border on any given day. border patrol agents pick up at least 60 to 0 people who have entered -- 600 people who have entered the u.s. illegally. fox news traveled exclusively
2:23 pm
with the home ronald security secretary, john kelly, who came here to see the challenges firsthand. kelly says security will take a multilayered approach. there will be the physical wall and then parts you can actually see through because he says they'll rely on technology and things like sensors. kelly also set a very ambitious timeline. >> i think it'll be built where it's needed most first and then filled in. >> reporter: okay. >> that's how i'm looking at it. i really hope to have to it done within the next two years. >> reporter: secretary kelly also told fox news he wants to have a surge of resources to the border that would help expedite the processing of people who get into the country illegally. he said right now he'd like to see a system that would take about two weeks. that would be a deterrent, he said, not the two years which is how it works today. >> if we could surge the court proceedings, immigration court proceedings on the border and within the law do it very
2:24 pm
rapidly and do a rapid turn, then i think that alone would act as a huge deterrent for people who are considering making the trip up. >> reporter: kelly told fox he thinks the administration has the authorities they need to get started. he also said he believes the money will flow freely from congress. back to you. eric: all right, catherine, thanks so much. arthel: okay, eric. well, protest continues across the nation ini colluding at some of our -- including at some of our major airports. we're going to have a live report from lax coming up. also iran launching a new military exercise as it defies fresh u.s. sanctions. be how should the u.s. deal with tehran? >> the sanctions today, i think, are going to be very, very strong and impactful, and i hope that iran realizes that after the provocative measures that they've taken, that they understand that this president, this administration's not going to sit back, take it lightly. gas or bloating?

2:29 pm
arthel: iran responds to the new u.s. sanctions with a massive military exercise. the country is reportedly testing its missile and radar system. so how should washington respond? retired knave navy captain chuck nash is a fox news military analyst here with us now. captain nash, so you have iran launching new military exercises in response to fresh u.s. sanctions on iran which those sanction were implemented in response to iran's ballistic missile testing. >> right. arthel: what is happening here? is this merely a hard core game of bluffing, or is there something more serious with dangerous consequences? >> i think what the iranians are doing is they are trying to get in the face of the new american president. this is a test everybody pretty much figured that the iranians or someone would test him early, and it's probably not going to be a one and done. there'll probably be multiple occasions where president trump
2:30 pm
and his national security team are going to be tested. now, as far as this exercise is concerned, i think it plays in from the iranian perspective, it plays in very well with some of the demonstrations that have of curred in the united states -- that have occurred in the united states and what some of the allies have been saying and, essentially, what the media worldwide has been saying. and i'd like to read you just one brief statement from the iranian foreign ministry. and what they said was the amateur and irrational policies of the new u.s. administration will change nothing about the principles of iranian politics. in other words, the way i read that, arthel, is that they're trying to start with an information operation. this guy is an amateur, he's dangerous, and we are the principled, we're only trying to defend ourselves against this. so it's trying to weaken the u.s. position to try to get the american president to back off and be a little more conciliatory toward the iranian regime. arthel: well, i'm sure people
2:31 pm
will see the propaganda between those lines, and president trump is going to maintain his strong position as he wants everybody to know that there is a new sheriff in town, a new way of doing business. let me talk about this though, russia. as you well know, captain nash, a major supporter of iran. so do you see putin's fingerprints on this anywhere? is it vladimir putin testing trump by proxy? >> no, i don't think so. i think the iranians are operating pretty much independently, but since you bring up iran, a them, i think what with other -- arthel, i think we're going to see the iranians gaining access to more military technology from the russians. the russians have been working hand in glove with the iranians on their nuclear program, and i think we will likely see more options that the russians will explore to bolster that big thorn in our side. arthel: any way to stop that? >> unless, unless president trump can really cut some kind
2:32 pm
of a deal with putin, in other words, the relationship -- the new relationship that putin sees with trump has to be more viable and worth more than what he sees as what could happen if he uses his iranian leverage to work against u.s. interests. so really in this case it's not really up to trump. it's up to putin. arthel: i'm going to move on. i have a follow-up on that, but i have to get through some other things here, because when you said it's up to putin, i have a pushback on that, but let me move on. [laughter] captain nash, so you have president trump as well as his national security adviser, michael flynn, both putting iran, quote, on notice, right? >> right. arthel: what -- you have iran today, tehran saying, quote: if the enemy does not walk in line, our missiles will come down on them. so what could go wrong here, and what other countries could be dragged into this in terms of allegiance or, god forbid,
2:33 pm
military play? >> yeah. i think what that statement really is, is that's just more iranian bluster. when you look at the sanctions that are put on and everything, it still doesn't interfere with the $18 billion deal that boeing just signed. so, yes, there are sanctions. yes, we have a destroyer, the cole in fact be, over patrolling off of yemen, not in the gulf. there hasn't really been that much of a stepped-up effort militarily. but i think if the united states really wants to get into the iranians' knickers, they can do a lot of things, we could do a lot of things in yemen -- arthel: how so? like what, captain nash? >> okay. right now the iranians are backing the houthi rebels and the old president against the new president in yemen. we could back the saudi efforts that are taking place in yemen, and we could do more raids like our special forces raid that
2:34 pm
went in where the navy seal, chief petty officer was killed last week. arthel: how much coordination, though, would have to be in place for something like that? operations like that, what sort of coordination and is with whom? >> we would have -- well, we could do a lot of that unilaterally, quite frankly. because you've got yemen which is surrounded, big coastline, let's put it that way, where we could introduce special operations teams either airlift, parachute them in or have them come from the sea and do those kinds of things. we also have amphibious -- arthel: those kinds of things, but we're talking about boots on the ground there. >> you are talking about boots on the ground. it is an increased risk anytime you put boots on the ground, but covert operations could be the way this is done. and, of course, there are the opportunity to do clandestine operations which is where you're not necessarily trying to hide who did it, you're trying to hide the fact that the operation took place -- arthel: that something was done. exactly. captain nash, really quickly for
2:35 pm
me, why is it up to putin? how is it up to to putin? >> because he has to be the person who makes the assessment of how he wants to deal with president trump. in other words, does the relationship that he sees, is that of more benefit to him to have a positive relationship with the new president, or does he want to continue to leverage the iranians working against us in the gulf. what is, what works more in his interests. i'm sure president trump's going to reach out to him, and i'm sure president trump is also going to stay very strong against the iranians in the gulf. arthel: thank you for clarifying that and providing me with your answer, cap town nash. thank you so much for your analysis. >> thank you. arthel: eric? eric: we're now waiting to see when the trump administration will appeal that federal judge's order that suspended its temporary travel ban from those seven mostly muslim nations. the department of justice vowing to go to the federal appeals court for the ninth circuit following that order from the federal judge, james robart, in seattle.
2:36 pm
the suspension, though, not dampening opposition against mr. trump's order as demonstrators continue to hold protests for a second weekend in a row this weekend. and will carr is following one of them at the los angeles international airport. hi, will. >> reporter: hi there, eric. we'll start with something that we haven't seen at the protests here at lax over the last week, and that's a number of donald trump supporters who have come out here. they're being asked to stay on this side of the road because on the other side of the road there, as you mentioned, are several hundred protesters right now who just started marching all around the airport. we were just with them. take a look at what we saw. the protesters have been walking all over the tom bradley international terminal. they've been walking upstairs on the departures level as well as downstairs here on the arrivals. now, this is a planned protest, so many showed up not really realizing that the immigration ban had been suspended. so throughout the course of the day the protest has really
2:37 pm
turned into a general protest gwen president trump. many people protesting the wall, others protesting president trump's relationship with mexico. take a listen to what one told us. >> you know, the immigration issue, the initial ban. i know that the judge, you know, lifted the order, but i still feel like it's an issue that needs to be to brought up, because if he takes attention away from it, it's just going to keep coming back. we ought to stay focused that this is the country that it once was, you know, we're not banning people for no reason. >> reporter: as you might imagine, the donald trump supporters who are out here feel strongly in the opposite mindset. take a listen to one that we just spoke with. >> people know that california isn't all about the liberal side that wants him to fail, you know? he's not failing. he's doing everything he promised that he would do, and we want people to know the reason why we're here at lax is to let people know that what
2:38 pm
he's doing with this 90-day pause is making us safe again. >> reporter: and this all comes, of course, as the immigration ban has been suspended. that's created a lot of confusion for the international passengers here coming in to lax. we spoke with several coming through from countries that were never even impacted by the ban including mexico who told us they actually thought they would be stopped and not allowed to come into the unite, because everything they've seen -- into the united states because everything they've seen, when they realized they came here, they felt a sigh of relief. but again, eric, a lot of confusion from people coming into the united states internationally. eric. eric: all right, will, thanks so much. arthel: okay. an out of this world experience in celebration of tomorrow's super bowl. how astronauts in space may have set a world record. and patriots9' quarterback tom brady winning on the field x the secret may be in his tummy. we will fill you in on the tom brady diet.

2:45 pm
cheeseburger i had? [laughter] where am i on this diet? >> basically, should we be eating the tom brady diet is exactly what you're asking. my answer to that, honestly, is, no. i don't want us eating the tom brady diet. i think as a family physicianing we should be eating a well-rounded, a well-balanced diet. that's one that includes carbs and lean protein, that's got healthy fats, fruits and vegetables in it. variety is the key here. so, you know, i think it's quite interesting. it seems like it's working for him but, no, i don't remember this for the general public. eric: dr. marc siegel with sunday house call, he broke down some of this. he talked about night shade rebelling tables, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, and he says they cause inflammation or is thought to maybe cause -- >> in terms of why tom brady does not eat them. eric: that's why he doesn't eat them. you'd think that would be good for you. >> well, it's interesting. first of all, those are a lot of vegetables. this is the thing, many of the
2:46 pm
items that tom brady has excluded or apparently has excluded from his diet are maybe, maybe that's a good call. but they also have important nutrients. tomatoes have antioxidants and other things. so just because they're excluded doesn't mean they're not healthy. again, i don't recommend that. i think it's too extreme, i think it's too strict. i think we need a well-balanced kite for the general population -- diet for the general population. eric: something else i was surprise frommed at, no -- surprised about, no yogurt. >> it's got probiotics, calcium, and that's why extreme diets are not great for the general public. the other thing is i saw some reports, is tom brady's diet the key to his success, and i think it's an interesting point, but he's got so many great things going for him, genetics, all the years he spent dedicated on the field. i think this is probably one part of his regime and his overall success. but, again, i'm not recommending this -- eric: you know what else is off his list? blueberries.

3:20 pm
americans disapprove of the president's order while 45% approve but if you take a look at the white's broken down by party lines you will see the democrats and republicans are at 85% each on the way their party basically gives this order along party lines. what happens next as we continue? charlie hurt as a columnist with the "washington times" and a "fox news" contributor. waking g for the ninth circuit where it will likely be appealed. it's likely a very liberal panel. what will happen with the next step? >> it's hard predict to you are right it is a reliably liberal panel. i have to say it's fairly astonishing that there is even one federal judge sitting on a federal judge in united states of america who actually doesn't understand that the state department abiding bylaws set at the legislature, that the state department part of the guidance
3:21 pm
other the president has the authority determine who can and cannot come into this country. that's what the ruling basically says is that he doesn't think that the president has the authority and that is truly astonishing. if you get down into the meat of the wording of his ruling he talks about the fact that they are -- the terrorist that have actually committed terrorist acts in the united states came from many of these countries. first of all that doesn't get into how many of those people from those countries have been arrested and charged with crimes related to terrorism. they were stopped by law enforcement at the other thing is and this is what i think is so important about that, that's a judge getting in there and basically legislating from the bench. he is usurping the president's authority to run the state department in accordance with federal laws and he thinks he knows better than donald trump.
3:22 pm
eric: others would say judge robards appointed by george w. bush passed the republican senate 99-0. he is not doing this. he's looking specifically at the state issue. here's the ruling right here and is looking at specifically in his view the state suffered irreparable harm he said speaking specifically irreparable injury that these harms are significant and ongoing. he's not talking about the constitutionality of this at all. it doesn't have to do with the state department that the impact of course was that for now at least pending the appeal it stops the president's order. >> it is a very steep judicial hill he has got to climb to prove this argument that somehow this harms people and that somehow outweighs the president's responsibility to
3:23 pm
protect the citizens of this country by determining who is allowed and who is not allowed to come into the country. you know, i hope the judge understands this constitutional rights don't extend to foreigners. eric: with all due respect that's not part of his ruling. he's saying all right you guys i'm going to read you a paragraph from the ruling. he says quote charlie they have shown they are likely to succeed on the merits of the claims that would entitle them -- the states are likely to suffer irreparable harm. the balance of equities they were the states in a temporary restraining orders in the public's interest raising serious questions to the merits of their claim in the balance of equities favor the status and trump in the public interest. you may have a point, let's listen in balance it out and
3:24 pm
what happens later on this week. he could potentially say they don't have a case. >> well, my point though is that i don't think that any of that holds any water compared to the president's responsibility to determine the state department's responsibility to determine within the laws duly passed by the legislature and signed into law by the president to determine who is allowed and is not allowed to come into this country. that trumps whatever feelings or concerns states have about how this may look if a bunch of namby-pamby mumbo-jumbo that is not designed in any way to compare their presence responsibility to keep the country safe. another thing you mentioned that this judge is somebody who was appointed by george w. bush and was easily confirmed, i think that is a crucial point in all of this. a week after we have seen donald trump nominate neil gorsuch who is a true constitutionalist,
3:25 pm
it's evidence that republicans and conservatives in washington they don't have a very good record of picking good justices and good judges. this is a reminder of that and this is why donald trump is where he is today is because people are fed up with not just the democrats but also with republicans. eric: quickly the prediction has been on the supreme court. >> i can easily see that and it will go quickly because you could not come up with a more pressing constitutional issue than the fact that the president has the authority, has to protect without getting into the merits, the president has the authority to protect, to determine who is and is not allowed to come into this country and the state department has that authority. eric: charlie hurt always good to see you, thank you for your analysis tonight and it's fascinating as we are seeing the constitution up and this whole

3:35 pm
me the other side of that story for those who would be looking forward to another conservative justice. why would they want to applaud this choice? >> judge gorsuch is no doubt conservative. you are not going to get anything but a conservative judge but the reality is judge jamil is a mainstream justice. if congress makes the laws liberal he will make sure they apply them. that is judge gorsuch's applause about writing the law. arthel: there's no chance of politics getting into the mind of a justice gorsuch when it comes to making decisions? >> that's exactly right. he is a judge who understands the role and he's talked about it. if you go and look at his record and see whether he has policy preferences i think what you will see as he said the day the

3:43 pm
owens. he gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country and sacrificed his life. he's a hero and someone we should not forget. walk us through the challenges and the difficulties of this type of. it's been criticized by some in washington. what did he face, what do we face? >> eric qaeda have been on both ends of these types of missions. i've been a commander out on the ground leading these types of rates but i also served in the bush white house and its seen these types of missions and received a person's approval and consideration and given the green light so to speak. in my understanding in this mission both secretary of defense mattis the duly appointed secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs recommended to president trump that he gave the green light on it and that's exactly what should happen. before that recommendation goes
3:44 pm
to the president that goes through extensive staffing. when i was in the bush white house the concept and the general concept is briefed by president bush that he would delegate the actual execution depending on the weather in intelligence and other pieces. that's how it should happen. how it happened is kind of death by questioning and so often the mission was irrelevant or they put so many restrictions on what our forces could do that really hamstrung our operators in the field. eric: this operation apparently was planned by the obama administration. they just an goes through with it they were told. they were waiting for a moonless night and until the president was out of office and president trump was in office. >> that's right and what happens often once you are given the green light and i think president trump is exactly right to do so because the difference
3:45 pm
in conduct ring a drone strike and blowing up these compounds whether they are in yemen or pakistan or wherever and actually putting the guys on the ground even though it exposes them to casualties and to fire if the intelligence that we can pull off of the battlefield. that's in the former prisoners sometimes sometimes. that's in the form of thumb drives, computer disks. al qaeda is known for keeping meticulous records and in this case we were able to pull some sensitive information off the battlefield. unfortunately we lost a brave navy s.e.a.l. in the fight but that's the risk we all know we are taking when we go into these types of rates and i'm glad to see the green lights being turned back on whether it's in yemen or somalia or pakistan or afghanistan. we need to put al qaeda isis and others on there -- and hit them hard.
3:46 pm
eric: there's a very different as direction of what happened. apparently drones some say they heard the drones and mea tipped off leaders. the americans and emirates were in this. too found themselves in a gunbattle gun battle with al qaeda fighters who took the positions of houses a clinic at school and mosque with women and children as cover. the commandos were taken aback when some of the women grabbed weapons and started firing multiplying the militant firepower beyond the expected. the osprey aircraft involving the asp -- operation experienced a hard landing and had to be destroyed by an airstrike. you have been up in the front lines. look what happened with the. on bin laden. we lost a chopper. you can't plan for everything and these men and women are brave. they are courageous and doing something that many americans
3:47 pm
would never do and they are doing it in our name to fight terrorists. >> that's right and from what i understand happened in this particular mission is when our forces went in whether the drones were overheard or insertion was overheard often it's an isolated mountainous areas and we started getting chatter so to speak that the. was compromised. at that point the ground force commander that's a decision to make. he can abort the mission or press forward and in this case for a variety of unsure good reasons the ground force commander decided to press on. he took that risk. that's what he is paid to do and engage in a fight. the other piece is that often we are watching these areas with drones and what kind of count the number of potential fighters. if there are also women and children there and they take up weapons as well the enemy
3:48 pm
capacity could have easily doubled and really presented a very difficult fight for our s.e.a.l.s. at that point a commander can gauge depending on the type of mission. as a hostage rescue he's going to go in and be very precise or he can step back and call in air support and frankly kind of start leveling the place if it's so difficult. eric: sadly we did lose someone and it's the war on terrorism. michael walz has been on the ground. thank you for your insight on what really does go on. >> thank you so much. arthel: commander, thank you. what we are going to do is shake it off a little bit. we are one day away from the super bowl. have you heard about it? i'm sure you have to the lucky folks who get to go to the game up close in person, we will have a live report from houston.
