"for the record" with greta starts right now. breaking news "for the record" president trump warning iran saying not guilty is off of table. iranian hitting back calling donald trump inexperienced. what happened next. the commander in chief defend willing tough talk. trump says don't worry about it. does new secretary of state feel the the same way. is trump fighting for freedom or attacking --

a stunning day at the white house. a day when the president through out the rule book on foreign policy. >> -- nothing's -- nothing is off the table. >> that come two u.s. officials tell msnbc sanctions could come as soon as tomorrow. president tweet iran has been put on notice for firing the ballistic missile for the terrible deal u.s. made with them. continue to missile test. some republicans a -- applauding

the president's tough talk. >> -- and i think you're going to see a coordinated multifacet effort to push back and i support that. >> get test them so this is not a friendly country that has global peace or national security interests in their mind. we have to tough on iran policy. >> some democrats are saying the president should respond to iran but disagree with tactics. good morning to you. >> unveil new economic sanctions as early as tomorrow. it comes in response to iran's

testing of ballistic missiles. the american officials tells us this is separate from the existing iranian new deal. they insist it did not violate deal because it was not cape l of delivering the war head. the claims are baseless and provocative they say. nothing is over the table, visa vi iran. the new sanctions follow the warning from national security adviser miker flynn. this a dramatic -- crisis of president trump's young -- in

favor of additional sanctions on iran accusing the administration of appeasing that country. greta. >> peter, thank you. breaking news out of new york city. these are live pictures immigration order. the protests organized by group of yes me -- as we mentioned today, secretary of state rex tillerson spoke by phone. today he told employees he respects the work and reply on them but changes could be coming. >> as secretary i deploy talent of the state department's resource as possible. traditionally done in the

department. change tor the sake of change can be counter productive and that is not my aapproach. >> susan paige, and -- first to you, dealing with the banter back and forth between the president and the prime minister of australia because we have added issue with possibility of sanctions with iran. what do you think? >> well, you have not only this eskalation of the world of words with the iran a country not one of our friends but you have troubling situation with australia which is one closest allies that stood with us since world war ii. we have the suggestion from the president trump that he is looking at a deal that will

struck to take some refugees that australia is holding on island to vet them and bring them into the united states. you have all of this turmoil on the foreign policy front. that's not the mention the joke that the statement that the president made in just to mexico suggesting he may send in u.s. military to take care of drug cartel. there's a lot the rhetoric whirling. >> this seem distressing this back and forth with the united states and the president and iran. we have had a lot of trouble with iran. now they are testing a missile. are claiming it does not violate the un resolution. are we heading for trouble? >> it's too early to tel it's n unusual whea new

administrationomes in that the adversaries will take action to see how they are going to react. that was a strong motivator for mike flynn to come out strong because trump all through the campaign ha promised to be a strong leader. had promised to act more decisively and harsher than the obama administration. so i think they view it as their first test and they wanted to come out and say all right, that's it. you're on notice. now woe're going to do somethin about it. the idea that not take military off the table, every president says that. it's prudent to do so.

where they are going to sanctions and that's going to garner support on capitol hill. >> -- so the sanctions now we're saying the sanctions are separate and apart from the iranian agreement and iran is saying this missile can't carry nuclear war head. the talk back and forth is not good talk. iran seeming to testing our president. they started it. >> this will not be the only nation to try the to test new president. that's not usual either. it's customary to see how far they can go with a new president. this is consistent with the tone donald trump took during the campaign.

he said he was going to get tougher on iran. people have been watching to see if he which is dismantle the nuclear cord. at this moment does no-go to that agreement. there is separate issue. it's a little different. it reflects a new and tougher town when tone when it comes to iran. >> thank you both. more from the phone call. officials telling msnbc news that the blunt and ended -- the next boston bomber to send 1,250 from australia to america. president trump called that deal a dumb deal.

unnecessary and frankly harmful. here's what president trump said today. >> when you hear about the tough phone calls i'm having, don't worry about it. just don't worry about it. we have to be tough. it's time we be tough. we're taking advantage of by every nation in the world. the not going to happen any more. >> with me, nicholas, now professor at harvard. ambassador, the president says don't worry about it. i guess don't worry about it if you look at is solation, we have other issues with mexico, not ally and now this war of words with iran your thoughts on this. >> you don't try to make it a

public disagreement because australia is a democracy. germany, there's been a battle of words with the germans this week, also democracy. i don't understand why you would want to embarrass your friends in public. that's what president trump did with that tweet. it hurts prime minister at home. he ought to get tougher with vladimir putin. he person spoking the war in ukraine. he interfered with our election. on counter terrorism, they came from north region of russia. that's whe president trump should be tough. it's a strange world when president tough with allies and not tough with our adversaries. >> i have not yet seen whether other allies have responded to

this warning, better word to iran, have you sign indication how they are rep responding to it, should we looking for a response? >> well, i think that the trump administration is right to be concerned about iran. iran's a troublemaker, in yemen, iraq, lebanon and gaza, they are a problem. we have to strength our relationships in order to -- it would have been smarter for the military not put general flynn out. gone to allies and enlist stronger support on ballistic missile issue. there's also a private channel through iranian foreign

minister. i hope the administration is warning the directly because iran deserve to have that kind of conversation with the administration. >> do you you ni lateral -- >> for investment purposes, it's meaningful if united states strengths the sanctions. they would be more perful. to get co liegs together. in the same policy and obviously, to brief congress and get congress engaged in this. there's time to do this even if it take another week or two to have a more effective strategy

if sanctions is where they are heading. >> ambassador, thank you. thank you. more on the reports that president trump -- will head stabilize or add more fuel. plus another trump campaign promise. could it effect the next election and big time. leader nancy pe losscy making headline about steve bannon. that's ahead what powers the digital world? communication.

. nbc reported new sanctions could come as early as tomorrow. >> i would be in favor of additional sanctions on iran.

i think the last administration appeased aran far too much. iran, don't forget, a is the largest greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world. >> tonight -- this warning coming after the government 13 days from now israeli president will meet with president trump at the white house. >> ambassador is israel form former -- good evening sir. >> good morning, greta. >> stop with the settlements.

>> the prime minister will come to meet the president. they will discuss all of the issues. that palestinians are not negotiating that's ob sta kal. willing to sit down and negotiate with us. >> can you -- can you confirm that the white house is having a conversation about the settlement with israel. >> the prime minister will meet the president and they will discuss all issues. in the past, this is not the real ob sta kal. >> i assume you have seen the

news today that president trump is warning iran and threatening sanctions. i know iran has been a threatening neighbor to israel. i assume your nation wants to get tougher on iran; is that right? >> i think the international community apply more sanctions on iran. last tuesday there was a meeting about ballistic missile test of iran, the security council could not reach an agreement about the resolution. they are watching what's happening in the iran, in the previous tests, the missile should be right of the map, more sanctions would be helpful to the stability of the middle east

and entire u.s. >> why do you think that iran launched that missile? it's going to be provocative to the new president. >> they are trying to test the new administration. for them they will continue to do that. today it's clear continue to with ballistic test. what happening in lebanon, in yes m yemen, iranian are fuelling -- using commercial airlines to -- it's part of a global plan to develop the alkts to make sure there's organization active in the region. >> there's tno surprise that president trump is moving through a lot of campaign

promises. one of the campaign promises is to move u.s. embassy. how important is that to your nation. do you think that's going to be discussion between prime minister and netanyahu who going to be white house in the week? >> -- in the day of king david wee would be happy to hit if the u.s. would do it, we would see many countries following the u.s. for us jordan would be the capital and see that embassy moving to jerusalem. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. white house telling president trump met at white house today. deep admiration for the people.

"the washington post" asked madman theory may apply to president trump. to keep adversaries guessing about your next move. nice to see you, sir. >> nice to see you greta. >> what do you think of the president's foreign policy? >> i have a trouble with this being the madman theory. i have listened to the tapes with nixon talking about it. nixon himself never portrayed himself with that kind of behavior. i think they are similar person personalality.

mr. trump is out front with his. nixon was shy. it's a fine that the current president does not know what he's doing. he trying to take practices that worked in business and apply it to government. and it's different form and different world. >> the other way it was done has gotten us into heap of trouble in the world. we have nations with nuclear weapons and he looking at business construct, i think, in doing -- putting financial pressure on it. i'm not endorsing the methodsology. at least a good portion of the american voters want to try a

new method. >> that's an argument he can make. the americans are not happy with this approach. it would be a very small minority that thinks this kind of tactic is acceptable on the world stage and it's never been the norm. in fact most foreign leaders try to stay away from people who play it this way. that could happen if he is not accepted by his peers in the international community. >> former secretary of state kiss jer said no -- >> i think that's an understatement. i wuss thinking, when i driving over here that the records of head of state calls are the only calls for sure are recorded on th sides.

take campaign promises. one of them has to do with the so-called johnson amendment which prevents church from being involved in political activity. do you anticipate he going to try to wipe away the johnson law? >> it sounds like that's where he wants to go. there are a lot of unanswered questions about what this means. the johnson is named after lyndon b. johnson. it's not year clear whether president trump want to eliminate the application of the johnson amendment to religious institution or churches or 501 c 3. we look forward to finding out what he wants. >> he would be asked a lot about the issue now that president

trump put that on the table today. all right -- >> it seems like a legislative issue. given that this seems to be a legislative issue that the president is pushing. >> which may wind its way into the supreme court. row v. wade. is that case likely to be reversed? >> i don't know. these things are difficult to predict. virtually given that case was decide two years after i was born. people are speculating to what extent that may happen. my focus in doing our job in reviewing nominees to the supreme court is on a broader

set of issues. i'm interested in the overall approach that someone would take to interpreting the law. i want to know if they are going to look at the law and find out what the law says. i also want to find out whether they're an originalist. are they willing to go back and construing the devision of the language how it was understood when it was draft and ratfide during the constitution. >> how do you define out of the mainstream. i see democrats are saying there's a code, i don't like the other guy. >> i'm not sure what they mean when this say that. i have spent hours pouring over

his opinions. he writes them in a way that's humorous. i see a consistent with the text. judge gorsuch starts with the understanding there's a right answer to the case and wants to find out what that is. he wants to find that outcome. that's what we need on the supreme court. >> how do you define advice and consent. >> it's a task given the united states senate to confirm or not con firm. it's a shared appointment power. the president has the power to nominate. consent of the senate only if we confirm the nominee is the person appointed does the person take the position. that's what we're going to be called upon to do with judge

gorsuch. that's the function we perform with lower court judges and others who require confirmation. >> merrick garland could have got on a hearing. >> thanks senator. democrats are split on judge gorsuch nomination to the supreme court. some are vowing out right -- >> i don't think it's in their interest. the next time they want to protest or complain about something, it's going to sound like white noise. i think you should reserve actions for actual things and not for a myth.

i remember we lost house, senate and the white house, it was ugly and a hard to see as conservative watching that as well. >> hundreds of protesters showed up outside of town hall rallying against president trump executive order. nice to see you senator. >> nice to see you, greta. >> the democratic base wants you to block this nominee nor the supreme court. as a practical matter, the republicans are going to put the nuclear on the table -- what do you say to democratic base. >> i say to them that the most

important issue in this confirmation is whether this nominee, judge gorsuch is going to rebuild the gang of five, scalia/roberts contingent that ran amuck, republican election interests and right wing agenda with very little regard with respect tor precedent or originalism and texturism just to -- it created decisions like citizens of united, hobby lobby that put corporate religious rights on ton of human rights. we have a lot to explore, doianr

that go back as a court. >> let me quote president obama from 2009 when he says elections have consequence and let me do mathematics with you, you do don't have the votes likely unless somethi incredible pops up at the hearing you're not likely to block the nominee, if they have to vote nuclear option, they are going to do it back at you. you have explain to the democrats why you're not going to win. how are you going to do is t. >> they may well put the option on the supreme court. one of the reason he did not include nuclear option in the last time is because there was sense from the republican side that was too much.

there were going to be mad ass hell if they d is lower court but the leave supreme court alone. if they turn around decide to touch it, it's simple a matter of convenience because the shoe has moved to the other foot, i think they have explaining to do. they have difficulty getting there in caucus. it's not something that easy to predict. >> have you made up your mind. i want to see if egoing to stop behavior of the republican five judges and become out doing bidding of the corporation and republican interests and does the far right social agenda. they have to be judges. all republican appointee, they have to stop. >> i can tell you, that many people in the twitter universe, have made up theirs minds

whether they are for him or against him. that's sir, our nation we take sides don't wait to see what someone has to say. >> that's learned behavior from watching what happened the last time it was five appointees and they ran amuck. i don't mind a judicial conservative. crashing through president and crashing through text and serving special interests. >> i'm going to take the last word, for everything democrats complain about, republicans on this i can dredge up the flip side. this has note been our finest moment. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. up next minority leader nancy pelosi underfire after

helpful if achieving peace. including with prime minister netanyahu when he visits with the president. nancy pelosi. >> to have a white supremacist named to the national security council while chairman and director are told don't call us, we'll call you. it's a stunning thing that white supremacist, bannon, would be a member of the national security council. >> nick, the leader calling stephen bannon a white

supremacist. not particularly helpful, is it? >> look at the facts, he considers himself a nationalist. it's fair to consider who is -- it's seems like calling him white supremacist is say he k k k. a rhetoric was a popular website for white nationalist. his own views, senator views in the past, he says he nationalist. he described skin head movement is not helpful to his version. but he is quite about his views and we're not sure how to describe himself. >> lynn, your thoughts on this.

>> he and other democrats are trying to brand bannon as a very unpredictable person behind the throne who is pupper master of president trump. if somebody is seen as pulling his strings. i think this kind of language being used by democrats in order to draw spotlight on bannon and there was crafted by assent to having walking privileges. >> how helpful is this, lynn? 're all this name calling. both sides, i can list of this stuff. >> so, i think the taking this

day-by-day and most people really don't know bannon couldn't identify him, he is not that well-known. keep going back to the democrats wants to fine him before he has a chance to define him have chance to define him more. >> a lighter topic, feud between trump and governor schwarzenegger. >> we had tremendous success on the apprentice, when i ran for president i had to leave the show. they hired a big, big movie star, arnold schwarzenegger to take my place. we know how tho turned out. the ratings went down the tubes. it's been a disaster and i want

to prayer if we can for arnold for those ratings. >> schwarzenegger quick to respond. >> donald, why don't we switch jobs, i take or tv and i take over your job and people can sleep comfortably again, hmm. >> it became topic on capitol hill. >> did he do the accent. i'm not go to comment on this stuff. let's talk about policy. >> he need the job that made me feel uncomfortable. i'm not worried about arnold's ra ratings or his old shows. >> looking at that when he went off on arnold schwarzenegger, i thought, god, you may want to

intervene here. >> let ask you this, what do you think about this? >> have you ever seen pro-wresting matches, that's what we're seeing there. we have seeing president trump use national prayer breakfast to have a fake fight to get the show up. that's what we're seeing right there. >> i will say this, it puts a higher profile on the national breakfast. we are skk the speaker of the house about it. >> who would have thought that the national prayer breakfast would be venue for trash talk. >> we got that now. nick, you know this, this is annual event and an important one. the issue about doing away with

johnson amendment. that's important discussion. >> yes. it prevents big foundation and schools all 501 c 3 charities from being involved. if you get rid of johnson amendment in whole sasale, you giving them -- i can imagine them taking a more tailored version aimed at churches and churches around the country that define this ban. there are pulpit movements and election season efforts to dare the -- assuming it doesn't happen. >> where it president obama these days? >> he was still in california on vacation. watching events closely.
