found shelter in a fawning political rally in florida this weekend denying disorganization and disarray in the white house. >> i'm here because i want to be among my friends -- >> reporter: the president still does not have a national security adviser after retired general michael flynn was forced to resign last week for misleading white house officials about his conversations with the russian ambassador. trump met with four possible replacements sunday including former u.n. ambassador john bolton an keith kellogg, the acting national security adviser. robert harwood rejected an offer because the white house would not allow him to appoint his own staff. >> the issue with admiral harward never came up. >> reporter: reince priebus said the new national security adviser can have a free hand. >> the nsa director can do whatever he or she wants to do with the makeup of the nsc.

>> i also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. >> reporter: president trump's sharp criticism of skrept cal news coverage continued. in one tweet he called leading news organizations the enemy of the american people. on "face the nation" priebus said the president is right to attack the press. >> it's total garbage. we spend 48 hours on bogus stories and the mayor cab people suffer. i do think it's a problem. >> reporter: john mccain, a frequent critic of mr. trump said the president's language crossed the line. >> i'm afraid we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. that's how dictators get started. >> reporter: the president will unveil a second executive order this week. like the first, affecting the seven mostly muslim country, but unlike the first, it will exempt green cardholders and those traveling to america at the time of the executive order will be

allowed in under the regular process. in belgium vice president mike pence vowed the united states will continue working closely with members of the european union. in the last few days defense secretary james mattis visited four allies in europe and the middle east to smooth over the white house's message on foreign policy. chip reid looks at the effort by the president's most influential deputies to soften his rhetoric. >> good morning. traveling overseas, top u.s. officials are finding it necessary to go out of their way to calm our allies, reassuring them our commitments are unwavering. >> president trump came into office and has thrown now his full support to nato. >> on his first european trip as defense secretary, general james mattis sought to reassure allies who heard this repeatedly on the campaign trail. >> i will also be requesting that all nato nations promptly pay their bills.

the u.s. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. >> reporter: this morning general mattis touched down in bagdad for an unannounced visit to monitor the u.s. backed war effort against itis. shortly before his arrival the defense secretary distanced himself from these remarks made by mr. trump last month. >> always used to say keep the oil. i wasn't a fan of iraq. i didn't want to go into iraq. >> we're not in iraq to seize anybody's oil. >> reporter: it underscores the challenge white house officials face overseas balancing a cohesive u.s. message with a commander-in-chief who often speaks off-the-cuff. >> this is president trump's promise, we'll stand with europe today and every day. >> reporter: vice president mike pence was in brussels reassuring allies of the u.s. commitment to their security while donald trump was making this confusing as sergs about recent terror in europe. >> you look at what's happening in germany, you look at what's happening last night in sweden.

national security adviser is the most important. it is the national security adviser's job to bring the national security team together and present options and recommendations to the president. so it's an extremely important job, and the fact we don't have one right now is a problem. >> vice admiral horowitz said part of the reason he turned down the job is because he couldn't have his own team. we heard reince priebus say now they can have whatever they want. change in position? >> i think the kind of autonomy matters. it's important that the president of the united states is comfortable with your key deputies when you're national security adviser. it makes sense that the national security adviser would have to go to the president and say here is who i want to be my deputy, here is who i want in this job and that job, is that okay with you? but it should be non-negotiable that steve bannon is not on the

national security principals committee. it's the kind of autonomy that matters here, not just autonomy itself. >> are there different factions in effect developing in and around the national security council, michael? >> i think so. i think one faction is steve bannon, steve miller faction which sees an existential threat to the united states from islam, not just jihadist islam, but islam itself, and from china. that faction sees russia as an ally in the fight against islam and the fight against china. then you've got another group let by mattis and tillerson which is much more traditional national security. the views aren't that different from the obama administration. they see russia as a threat. and then you have trump himself which seems to believe that if there are direct let's to the united states like isis, we'll crush them. if not, we should withdraw from the world and worry about our own problem. there's three different views out there and u.s. policy has

not come together yet in a way that reflects all three of those and how all that's going to work. >> on that note, michael, if you look at the vice president's travel to europe this weaken, it seems like america's allies are deeply concerned about what they see as an incoherent u.s. foreign policy. what's your tark on that? >> they're hearing mixed messages. it's not just the iraq message we heard about oil. it's messages about russia. it's messages about the future of the alliance. hearing one thing from the president and hearing other things from the president's team. i think what's important to remember is that the person they really listen to, the person they focus on are the words of the president of the united states, less important to them what the others say. >> michael morrell, thanks very much. newly revealed security video from malaysia shows the moment when the half brother of north korea's dictator was assassinated. the video shows an attacker

wiping kim jong nam's face. he died a short time later. malaysia wants north korea's ambassador to explain his criticism of the investigation. malaysia's prime minister says he believes police have been very objective. adrianna diaz is following the story from beijing. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. north korea's ambassador says malaysia's investigation cannot be trusted. he's also denied that the man killed is, in fact, kim jong nam. this comes as we're getting a closer look at exactly what happened from the video that captured the incident. this chilling security camera footage shows kim jong nam navigating kuala lumpur's busy airport last month just moments before he is attacked. as he stands at a check-in kiosk, his alleged as as sins strike, a woman in a white shirt appears to wipe a cloth across his face with an accomplice

before both slip back into the crowd. kim alerts airport authorities and police who bring him to the airport's medical center. he later died on route to the hospital. >> four suspects has been identified. >> reporter: sunday malaysian police say they're working with interpol. seven suspects are at large, four of them, all north korea, left the country on the day of the attack. >> we have to assist in the investigation, so we have to collect all the evidence pertaining to the involvement of these people. >> reporter: four others are already in custody, including a north korean chemistry expert and both alleged female attackers. the women told investigators they thought they were pulling a prank for a hidden camera tv show. while north korea has denied involvement, south korea's acting president placed the blame squarery on them today.

the murder, he said, clearly demonstrates the recklessness and brutality of the north korean regime. this morning kim jong nam's son landed in malaysia, presumably to identify his father's body. as for the suspects in custody, they'll appear before a court on wednesday and will likely either be charged or released. >> adrianna diaz in beijing, thanks. iraqi forces pushed into the southern outskirts of muscle this morning, launching a new offensive to take the western half of the city from the islamic state. helicopters fired rockets and police moved forward in armored vehicles. the u.s.-led coalition is supporting the offensive with air strikes and advisers. last month iraqi troops took the eastern part of mows el. police say a man seen the photographed in northern indiana is the suspect in the killing of two teenage girls. police released the grainy photo after finding the girls bodies

interviewing candidates for that slot. >> how important is a national security adviser position and should voters be concerned there is no one in place right now? >> with the secretary of state and secretary of defense, the national security adviser is the most important. and the fact that we don't have one is a problem. >> u.s. officials are finding it necessary to calm our allies, reassuring them that our commitments are unwavering. >> north korea's ambassador says malaysia's investigation cannot be trusted. he also has denied that the man killed is, in fact, kim jong-nam. an impatient dog was done waiting for her owner and wasn't shy about letting everybody around in that nearby parking lot know it. >> like come on! get that sandwich a little faster, mom. [ horn honking ] >> dogs are like people. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and alex wagner. charlie and norah are both off

today. president trump is still looking for a new national security adviser after forcing general michael flynn to resign for misleading white house officials, including the vice president, about his conversations with the russian ambassador. john bolton, former u.n. ambassador under president george w. bush, army general h.r. mcmaster, superintendent general robert caslen and retired general keith kellogg, the acting national security adviser. the trump administration is expected to unveil a new executive order on immigration this week. this temporary ban will cover the same seven predominantly muslim countries but will not apply to green card holders and travelers on the way to the u.s. when the order is issued. hillary clinton's campaign manager, robby mook, has been calling attention to russia's influence on the 2016 presidential race. on twitter he called for an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate and

wrote in britain's guardian earlier this month, quote, we have to take action now to root out russian and other foreign influences before they become too deeply enmeshed into our political ecosystem. robby, good morning. >> good morning. >> white house chief of staff reince priebus said yesterday on the sunday morning talk shows there was no collusion between anyone involved in the trump campaign and with russia. do you buy that in if not, what questions do you want answered? >> i wish that were the case, honestly. this is a bipartisan issue, that foreign countries, particularly a foreign aggressor, like putin, could come in and influence our election. the more facts we learn, the worse it gets. donald trump learns his staff never spoke to russia. not only did our intelligence community intercept communications that his staff had frequently with russia, but donald trump was briefed on that and knew that had taken place

when he said it didn't. just yesterday "the new york times" came out with a story of a gentleman named felix sader, actually sent a proposal through trump's lawyer, directly to trump, bypassed the entire national security apparatus, proposing an end of russian sanctions in exchange for policy changes on ukraine. this is incredibly scary. and the big missing -- two big missing pieces here actually, we need to know more about what these conversations were with the russians and trump's staff. we have to see donald trump's taxes. >> do you think that's going to happen, robby? >> i think donald trump may be telling us the truth when he says that he's not invested in russia. what i think is going on is russia is deeply invested in him. you take away that russian money, the whole financial structure falls apart. congress has got to demand these taxes. >> let's talk about congress. they could subpoena his tax returns. are you confident republicans in congress leading these investigations will get to the bottom of this?

>> what's disappointing here, i don't think this is a partisan issue. i really don't. the idea that a foreign country has been able to burrow into our political system and favor one candidate over another should be disturbing to everybody. republican senator lindsey graham and senator john mccain speak out on this. one republican house member sign on to a bipartisan commission. everybody has got to get on board. it was the democrats in 2016. it's going to be the republicans next time. we should all be afraid of this. >> but, robby, team trump says this. listen, your candidate lost. deal with it. your candidate was out of touch with america. deal with t you are all trying to deflect and blame it on the russians. what do you say to that? >> i didn't bring up our campaign, whether it caused our loss or not. >> do you believe that it did? >> i think it could have. this is the key. no campaign manager, no candidate should ever sit at a table like this on a news program and say, i don't know, the russians might have been the reason we lost the election. it's not important whether they

were or not. what's important is that it could have been the reason and that should never happen again. >> but you think the influence could extend just beyond elections and into domestic policy. how and why is that? >> absolutely. look, what the -- it's very clever what the russians have set up. it's a whole system to disseminate information, propaganda news outlet. rt, hired -- they have a lot of american followers and through all these channels they push out information and actually influence our public debate. you'll notice when it comes to vladimir putin, when it comes to sanctions, these are things that used to have bipartisan support. now we're actually discussing, should we lift the sanctions, should we not? that's because of this russian influence. we've got to get it out. russia is just one country. 200 around the world. anybody can play this game. it's very cheap and easy. we have to make it hard and

there has to be repercussions to doing it. >> you liken it to watergate. >> someone broke into the dnc digitally. the president was lying about it, whether his staff was talking to russia and the more we learn, the closer it gets to the president himself and the scarier it get. >> this story certainly has life and will continue. >> thank you for joining us. how the country has responded to the president's actions so far. we'll check in with four americans we're following in our series we call "we the people." we'll learn their reactions to the trump presidency and why they all share a common feeling of hope. temperatures are expected to hit more record highs across the central and eastern u.s. in chicago, people enjoyed the spring-like weather yesterday. yeah, they d on saturday, the high was 70 degrees. dozens of cities broke temperature records over the weekend. dean reynolds is in chicago, where the high is expected to be 63 today.

dean, good morning. > reporter: good morning. it's been so warm here over the last couple of days that some of chicago's winter destinations, like this ice skating rink here, have had to close. chicago's lakefront shoreline looked more like miami beach over the weekend. >> we thought we were going to need lots of heavy coats and it's just gorgeous. we're enjoying it. >> reporter: three straight days of record highs have people trading their winter hats and coats for shorts and t-shirts. >> nothing i would ever think i would wear in mid february in chicago. >> reporter: golf courses in neighboring indiana opened a month early. >> puts a little extra pep in your step when the sun is out in the winter. >> climatology professor david robinson says a steady stream of high pressure has kept this winter's brutal storms on the west coast from traveling east. >> think of this as a mountain of air that's often sinking air and that creates clear skies, helps to warm things up with

increasing sunlight. it melts away the snow and it serves as a block to keeping some of the stormier weather out of the region in weeks. >> reporter: couple of weeks ago, subzero temperatures had mid westerners covering up head to toe by whatever means necessary. this one is one of my personal favorites. kind of a cross between nanuk of the north and yosemite sam. and while ski races and ice fishing competitions may now be in jeopardy, not all winter activities have been a total meltdown. hundreds showed up to this ice festival in ohio. >> i haven't read the long-term forecast but if this continues i'm going to be outside. >> yeah. >> no question. >> reporter: now the balmy weather is expected to continue through wednesday. and for those of you keeping score at home, chicago has now gone at least two months without one inch of measurable snow.

gayle? >> in the winter. wow! >> wow! >> dean, we are keeping score. who would think it would be warmer on the east coast and midwest than it is in california? >> advantage, new york. >> we like that. ceo is spending millions of dollars to get special interests out -- how the head of the kind snack bar -- have you had one of these? they're good,,,,

one month into president trump's administration, the nation remains deeply divided. >> i think he's doing a great job so far, other than the fact that he can't get his cabinet approved. >> if you did vote for trump, i'm having a hard time seeing how you would still remain supportive of him. i wake up every morning, scared to turn the news on just because of what i might see. ahead on our series "we the people," the hopes and fears of americans after four weeks of an

the kind healthy snack company is taking on special interests in the food industry.

this follow as clash with the fda in 2015. kind was told it could not call its fruit and nut bars healthy because of the amount of fat but the agency later reversed course. >> and now they're committing $25 million over ten years to commit an organization. it's called feed the truth. it wants to, quote, stop biased funding from influencing nutrition policy. daniel is ceo of kind bar snacks. they both join us at the table. good morning to you both. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> daniel, putting in $25 million of your own money says you are very serious about this. this is not just a photo op for you. what do you want to accomplish? >> i mean for over two decades, not just related to what you described, i've been concerned that sometimes the zealousness

to allow scientists and doctors and knew trishists to inform on public policy. it came back to bite us. they paid harvard scientists to try to deflect it from sugar and point the finger at fat. and it's not just sugar. it's every special interest who gets a little bit overzealous and does not think about what's in the best interest of people. >> didn't it throw you? first they said you can't call your snack healthy and then they reversed that. didn't that spur something? >> yes. and when i learned of what the regulation meant, i was like how can the current regulation -- you can have sa man or almonds and avocado and that cannot be

determined healthy and you have cereal with sugar and it can be called healthy. that didn't make sense to me. when we filed the petition it was really going beyond the issue -- we didn't use it on the back hand. it was more of like public policy. they were telling me that -- >> the last time that the definition of healthy was redefined by the food & drug administration was 1993, so it's up for redefinition. >> is it possible to rebalance this debate given how much money gets spent in lobbying by the various food industries? >> yeah. i mean i think -- i'm not sure most people are aware that every ingredient and every food group has a lobbyist in d.c. this is democracy. so they deserve to have a right to have a voice. just in 2016, 600 food groups lobbied the u.s. fo food & agriculture.

so this $25 million is a huge investment and it took a lot of hutzpah for dan ya to move this forward. the key is purposely doing it as a ceo of a snack bar company is having -- wants to be independent from anything going forward, which is why i'm here. >> so, deb, i hear about this a lot at home because my husband sam was your predecessor at the white house. where's the balance? it sounds leak there's a need for a more aggressive stance, but at the same time the food industry isn't going to change. how do you strike that balance? >> yeah. i think it's more we need to strengthen the science and we need to strengthen the information that the public has around what is hello the because you shouldn't have to be a registered dietician to go into the grocery store to decide what to pick up and put in your grocery cart. the average family spend 40s minutes in the grocery store and spends two minutes reading labels. you just throw your things in.

it's the responsibility of this entity, this new entity, feed the truth, is to really help strengthen the science and help make sure there's more transparency. >> to be very clear, i'm going to have involvement going forward. >> you've separated yourself. >> i'm going to only fund it and then separate it. i will have no role. >> you want to get it out there. >> they're not going to even be the board. they're going to appoint a board. for us, particularly with my wife's reaction, i thought i had -- she said, you're doing what? are you crazy? >> thank you very much for being with us this morning. the director of oscar nominated hit "la la land"" said
