the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country, a terrible decision, end quote. that as protesters converge on palm beach florida where the president is tenanting gala for the red cross. hey, kelly. >> reporter: good to be with you, richard. another tweet from the president who asked the question why is the court ruling from boston which sided with his view not being used? so the president is not letting go of this issue, of his wanting to stand up for his immigration policy that he believes is to protect the country in the face of all these protests that included some near his home in mar-a-lago. at the same time we're expecting new steps from the white house to push back on this to try to

stop the judge's stay. we expect there will be a lot of back and forth, but the president also very personally took on the judge. >> reporter: late today protesters gathered near a trump brand condominium, ready to march towards the president's mar-a-lago resort home, while he spent hours at a west palm beach golf club. president trump reacted pointedly. the opinion of this so-called judge which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country is ridiculous and will be overturned. >> i find that a temporary restraining order is in the public interest. judge james robart appointed to the bench by george w. bush explained his decision with a stinging assessment.

i'm also to determine if the executive order is rationally based. and rationally based to me has to be grounded if facts as opposed to fiction. senator chuck schumer among demonstrators in new york city. >> dump trump. >> reporter: while the longest serving senator, patrick leah hee hit an alarm bell. the president's hostility ward the rule of law is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. meanwhile, veterans hospital pence visited the constitution's historic home, philadelphia. he focused on the president's nominee for the supreme court. >> judge kneel gorsuch is indeed a great successor to antonin

scalia. >> reporter: and we've seen it so many times from the campaign to this new presidency that mike pence is often hitting a different note when president trump is focused in something that is deemed controversial. also tonight the president is going to attend about the first lady the red cross gala that is the 60th anniversary that is hosted at his home. judging by other times when there have been events at his home, there are opportunities for the media to at least see the president and first lady which raises the possibility. perhaps he'll have something to say about this on camera tonight. we were told by white house officials that the issue of refugees did come up with president trump's phone call with the prime minister of italy. he also spoke wit ukraine's leader and they talked about the sensitive issue of russia. tomorrow more foreign leader calls as well. richard? >> kelly o'donnell live for us

in west palm beach, florida. ann thompson is in the middle of a group of protesters. this is near the president's mar-a-lago residence. >> richard, we've gotten up on a seawall here to give you a vantage point. you can see more than one thousand protesters coming down the street. they almost reached the end of their two and a half mile march. we don't have an official count. i can tell you i stopped and talked to palm beach county police. they say they haven't had to close any roads. by and large this has been both a polite and peaceful protest which is one of the goals of the organizers. as the people have marched along this route, some people have stopped to watch, and one of those people was a trump supporter a woman and her husband who had voted for donald

trump. and i asked them what they thought of what they were seeing here, and they said they thought it was ridiculous. they said he won the election and they thought these people are just afraid of the change that he is going to bring that president obama couldn't bring. and they are right about that. people in this march are afraid of the changes donald trump is bringing. i was talking to a man, psalm walker from 65 miles from here. he drove down and said he came because he doesn't want to see america go backwards when women, gaze and african-americans were second class citizens. >> thank you so much. from ann there in glad nra, lets go to california, six hours away by flight. also there have been protests at the airport at lax. that's where katie beck is for us.

katie you are watching two sides today, but i'm not sure if you can hear me. it looks like right now you're in the group that is against the executive order. >> reporter: that is right. and they are very loud and still very energetic. they've been here for most of today. lots of loud voices. with a very strong message, they are absolutely opposed to president donald trump's executive order on immigration. we have been speaking with folks all day on both sides of the issue. there were some pro-trump protesters here as well saying they support the executive order. joining me is this woman. this is your second weekend here. why did you feel it important to come back today. >> i'm here first and foremost for justice. the fighting is not over. the order issued yesterday by

james robart is wonderful. but overnight trump has already sort of been tweeting out insulting a federal judge calling him a so-called judge. i think it's really, really important to continue this momentum. the muslim ban is going to be played out in courts essentially, but it's really important that the judiciary knows what the people in the street are saying. >> reporter: what do you think of both sides showing up today. >> across the street, they were here last week, a very small group. today a couple more showed up. i think it's really important. we are having a national conversation right now, and i think the presence of trump supporters is part of that. >> reporter: lots of energy and protests still here at lax. back to you guys.

nbc live in los angeles. let's go to nbc justice contour pete williams. pete, you have news on a notice of appeal. >> we knew the government was going to do this. it was a filing before the seattle judge saying dear judge we intend to take the next step. they call it a notice of appeal. basically telling the judge they're going to go to the 9th circuit and trying to get a stay on his order. it's not technically an appeal, but that's the notice they filed. we expect that the request for a stay to the court of appeals out there on the west coast will be filed sometime in the next several hours, probably late tonight, maybe around 8:00 or 9:00 pacific time. and they'll ask the appeals court panel, three judges to put a hold on the judge's order so that the government can resume

enforcing the trump executive order. these sorts of filings, this request to put a stay on a temporary restraining order, these are rarely granted. maybe the court will say these ra exceptional circumstances. there's a standing panel out there that receives these requests. they can get together by phone and decide these things. they could ask for the states to respond before they make a decision. but this is simply telling us that the government intends to do what we knew it was already going to do. >> you've been saying watch the other states, and things will be happening. of the other states that e undertaking their own action and their own wor of condemnation for this, what have you been watching and what should we watch for in the coming days or so? >> this graphic is the number of attorneys general who have signed a letter indicating that they opposite the ban. washington and minnesota are the

ones that have filed. virginia has a lawsuit filed. massachusetts has joined a lawsuit. we expect other lawsuits to be filed by civil liberties groups. it's not just the states that are attacking this, it's also other groups and individuals. this is goekt on for a while. we may see this start and stop. this could go on for many weeks. >> all right. thank you so much. income tax's justice contour pete williams for that latest information for us. appreciate it. joining me is abraham hooper. you heard our reporting from nbc's justice contour pete williams there that the president at least has gone to the next step, the notice of appeal. what's your plan as the administration looks at fighting-topping its executive

order to keep in place? >> we have things this place challenges this ban on constitutional grounds. the whole plan is based on bigotry and pandering to the lowest common demon narrate in our society. the judge said there's no evidence that this ban prevents any evil doer from coming in. it's really terrible that the president, again, lies. i use that word li"lies". he lies when he says this muslim ban is preventing evil people from coming in to america. there is just no evidence to support that. but he keeps repeating it. and unfortunately it turns bigotry into policy. >> what are the actual specific steps you are going to take as the president moves forward in the trump administration to

basically reinstate the executive order if that were to happen, although as pete williams was telling us, not common that would actually happen. >> we have a lawsuit still in place. so that is going through the legal s. what we're telling people who've been stranded overseas, and we're not talking about murderers and evil people. we're talking about doctors, mothers, daughters. i got a call from somebody at george mason university who couldn't come back for the rest of the semester. we have attorneys on site at airp airports across the country. we're encouraging people to hop on the next flight to get here while this temporary restraining order is in place. get in before the justice department lawyers can shut the

door again. >> we're speaking with immigration attorney, we were speaking with her about how one iranian had come to the united states last weekend and bounced around to three other countries or so. and finally today was reunited with her family. what folks are walking in the streets for today is that story and stories like that. >> yeah. >> in support of that. abraham, when you see all these marchers out there, what energy do you take for that? >> well, it's amazing. th we had 20,000 people there that kind of spontaneous support. we're seeing that across the country and i think it's developing into a movement. >> there are groups against the executive order. there was a group forpresident

and the executive order. you heard from katie beck and she was reflecting on the rally at los angeles international airport right next to the opposite side of the argument. and they're saying we went through -- i went through the immigration process. i legally became a u.s. citizen and that's why i support the executive order. what do you say to them? >> that i say everybody we're talking about here has gone through legal process. refugees are vetted more than anybody on the planet. the people coming in o student visas, on tourist visas, business visas have all been vetted. they're not sneaking across the boarder. it's pandering to ignorance and bigotry. >> it's weeks long if not months long in process.

abraham hooper, have a good evening. next, more fallout from president trump's immigration ban and a federal judge's decision to put a hold on that. the president has weighed in on twitter expressing why he doesn't like that judge and his decision. our panel reflects on that. the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me. c'mohappy birthday! i survived a heart attack. i'm doing all i can to keep from having another one. and i'm taking brilinta. for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack.

>> i don't think it does. i think the american people are acan you still to this president speaking his mind. >> elise jordan we have and wade henderson. and a reporter from the boston globe. react to that question that was asked by george stephanopoulos, the undermining, separation the powers, the idea of three branches here. >> that is what we are seeing from critics that president trump woo go out and call someone a called judge would be something that many would find reprehensible. this is what's coming from the administration. they are saying his propensity to speak his mind and to speak what they call as frank adjus

justifies that. when we're talking about the act of a president, that's certainly something that will be -- certainly unprecedented for what we've seen from previous president you can't imagine president obama saying something like that. i'm sure there will be pushback. >> you can see the question during the confirmation hearing of neil gorsuch. so you have president trump who says this t so-called, the ridiculous word that was associated with thjue's decision. asking this neil gorsuch nominee for the supreme court, what do you say to president trump? you can see that question being asked, and patrick leahy says he'll ask gorsuch that question. how would he answer that and what would be the advice you would give him? >> mike pence did a fairly good

job of deflecting his answer and saying this is just donald trump basically with the same kind of hyperbollic language we've come to associate with donald trump over the course of the campaign trail. it's going to be a little difficult for a nominee to the nation's highest court to deflect a question like that. he's putting his nominee in a tough situation because he's challenges the legitimacy. >> wade, we've also just gotten some new video from a new interview that president trump did with fox news. i want to play a little bit of that and get your reaction. >> is there any validity to the criticism of you that you say things you can't back up factually and as the president,

if you say there are 3 million legally aliens who voted and you don't have the data to back it up, some people are going to say that's irresponsible for a president to say that. >> a lot of people have come out and said that i'm right. when you see people, bill, we can be babies, but take a look at the registration, you have illegals, you have dead people, it's a bad situation. >> wade, what do you make of his response there to bill o'reilly's question? >> richard, alternative facts are the new watch word of this administration so when in doubt you simply make up the facts. the last few days have underscored the importance of an independent judiciary. now we've seen discrimination against muslims and refugees

which may well end up in the supreme court. president trump has chosen a nominee to the court based on an outsourced program to the federal society and the heritage foundation and they produced a nominee that is a rubber stamp of the president's programs. we are deeply troubled by the record that neil gorsuch brings before the senate judiciary committee for review. in addition to his judicial mperament which is at issue, i'm concerned about work he did before he was on the bench when he was a principal deputy in the department of justice and had to oversee the civil litigation. there was one involving a challenge to the georgia id law. we had career attorneys who recommended the department go forward and challenge that law before it was put in place.

the political appoints which may well have included neil gorsuch overruled that decision, and it was verified and a report by the office of professional responsibility and justice. so we hope that will be one of the issues that the judiciary committee hones in on when judge gorsuch comes before them. we are really concerned that the president's reckless language, his effort to create facts where none exist, his effort to manipulate press and affect the perception of the american people, of the independents of the judiciary can undermine the values that americans share. >> i want to take it back to the issue of facts, the 3 to 5 million devote unquote illegals that were brought up in the discussion. bill o'reilly said you have to back this up.

"the washington post" will pick out five or ten tweets and say where are the facts to back up all these statements? will we see a situation where he won't have to? that's at least what he's saying in his answer to bill o'reilly that he doesn't need the facts. >> donald trump is trying to did he -- delegitimize the truth. i think this is an incredible worry, not just for democrats and everyone who's concerned about the integrity of the american republic. this is a pretty perilous time when you're looking at what he's trying to so he in terms of chaos within our american democracy. i think you look at the totallity of this executive order on immigration and a lot of voters are associating it with chaos. that's a huge narrative problem for donald trump going forward.

he has to be able to present himself as a competent president. americans wanted someone that they thought could go in and manage washington and manage government and make their lives better. and right now they're seeing a whole a lot of chaos that is not going to benefit donald trump politically in the long term. >> the white house press secretary said the way to understand donald trump is that he's going to put all the options on the table. he's not going to show you his cards. that relationship to foreign powers and the way he relates to them, iran, for instance, is that therefore a good application of this idea of chaos? >> i mean, it certainly depends on who you're speaking to. i would say all options being on the table woo only be good in a

world where we can agree all the options are based in fact, in a place when some of those options are based on myth and not backed up by facts, i'm not sure that's a world where people are expecting a rational leader to make decisions on that. so in a world where the options laid in front of him are based in truths and there's a baseline of truth that people agree on, then i think certainly y have opinions where something like iran deal or in something like him drawing a bright line on dodd-frank, or where people can disagree ideologically, but something where the options on the table are not based on evidence or like voter fraud, that's when you'll see pushback because that's a world that's based in myth and not in the truth. people in the end still expect

the president to legislate off of. >> it's also giving trouble for republicans because they have to answer to his statements and his assertions without fact. >> that's absolutely right. and i honestly think his purpose is more sinister than simply the creation of chaos in general. let's just take the constitutionally protected right to vote. the president announces there was massive fraud in the last presidential election. of course there are no facts to back it up. he appoints jeff sessions as his new attorney general with a clear demonstrated record of hostility to protecting the right to vote, certainly for african-americans and other people of color. and then he noimts neil gorsuch to the federal bench under the theory that he's qualified for the job without examining his record both as a judge but also as a lawyer in which he involved himself in cases with the department of justice that raise

real questions about his willingness to enforce the law in a meaningful way. when you add those three things together, the trump administration represents a clear and present danger to the constitutionally protected right to vote. >> you'll see the full interview during half-time at the super bowl. we have a bit of it just now. thank you all. have a good saturday evening. >> thankou. next, thousands gathering for an lgbtk rally in new york city. we'll take you there in just in time. plus the legal fallout from trump's immigration ban. i've made plans for later in case this date doesn't go well. likewise! but, funny story. on top of that? my mom is my best friend. uh oh. yeah. oop! there's the rescue text from my roommate saying she needs me. wouldn't it be great if everyone said what they meant?

day. >> that's right. in fact the crowds before energized. even before that rally was scheduled to begin, hundreds of people had already packed the scare and they've been lingering since the rally ended at 4:00 p.m. weir in front of the historic stonewall here in new york city. i want to introduce to someone who was here at that rally. andre, you said you were here earlier today. what did you think of the solidarity you saw? >> i was acceptance, belief, and hope. >> reporter: i heard some people say since november they felt like they weren't in a place of hope. do you think that changed today? >> i feel like it gave his a lot more hope and gave us a lot more acceptance of what's going on in the world and opening our eyes

to what we need to fight more, that's saving lives and not destroying them. >> reporter: it's that type of fight that you heard today, richmond. back to you. just one of the locations we've been watching across the country where protests have hit the streets calling out the executive order that came down from president trump one week ago. if you're just joining us, effectively at this hour it has been reversed in total. in addition to that though, president trump has now reached out in process to try to put it back in place that executive order. before i get to that, the president trump's self-described ban, the executive order has triggered some court orders across the country, not only the one in washington state. confusion at u.s. airports. last friday that's when the pen

hit the paper. individuals from seven majority muslim countries were refused entry. around 60,000 visas were revoked on that friday. and 109 people were detained at various points of entry across the country including airports. flash forward to this week, a federal judge throwing a temporary block on that executive order. that happened on friday, yesterday. and today's announcement from the state department that those visas that were revoked were back in use. they were legal again, you could enter the united states. now the justice department has filed a notice of appeal to that decisionment we just got that the only one last hour. that reporting coming from nbc's justice contour pete williams. one of the attorneys fighting the travel ban in federal court is here.

you were the one that came out and you stood on the federal court steps. you were speaking with chris hayes and you gave us the news of the stay. what do you think will happen with this notice of appeal? >> i'm hoping the courts of appeals will leave the injunction in place. that's the normal process. the district court has discretion. he or she is sitting there on the ground, decides we need to keep everything in the status quo. obviously this is a big case. but i think when the appeals court sees the issue, they'll say let's leave things in place. they'll look at the balance of harms. it's clear there's people overseas, family issues, they might be facing death or abuse. they need to get here. that's way more harm than what the government would suffer by allowing people to come. we're not talking about people

who haven't been vetted. we're talking about people who've been extensively vetted. >> if the appeals court says to washington state and the federal judge there that we're not going to keep the restraining order, that would be rare. >> it would just mean we need to go forward and keep fights. either way it's not the end of the case. there may be people coming here right now becausehey're allowed to. if the appeals court overturns it and they hit u.s. soil, the injunction we received out of brooklyn will still protect them. that injunction is nationwide from judge donnelly from brooklyn. >> it brings up a good point. we've got 16 states who have signed that letter and said we condemn this ban. we have a handful of those states that have undertaken action. we were talking about two so far.

supreme court, everybody's saying. what happens? >> you can never predict whether a case will get to the supreme court, butously -- obviously it's important. >> president trump tweeted a little bit earlier. why not focus on the decision coming out of massachusetts which all in all saying supports the executive order as it is. he's saying why not the decision be made on that when it comes to those with visas or refugees? >> the washington case was a broader case. that's why it's not applying nationwide. i would keep in mind the boston decision is one decision. the overwhelming majority of judges who have looked at this have found serious legal

problems. >> which states should we watch? >> i would be looking at new york, california, washington. there's going to be a bunch of states in play. what we're seeing is a real pushback, not just from civil rights lawyers, but from communities, state attorney generals. we're in a classic civil rights moment. >> this is going to be going on and on for a while, right? ? >> rig> thas from aclu. next president trump is taking steps to dismantle the wall street overhaul law. we're talking about dodd-frank. what will that mean for wall street? bought every day earned you miles to get to the places you really want to go. with the united mileageplus explorer card, you'll get a free checked bag, 2 united club passes... priority boarding... and 50,000 bonus miles. everything you need for an unforgettable vacation.

joop president trump took a step toward fulfilling one of his campaign promises to dismantle dodd-frank. part of the order here calls for a treasury department review of a rule that prohibits the kind of speculative investments that

contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. joining me is jared burn seen the. thanks if she being here. the question here to use donald trump's words, does this help the swamp more to does it help the fortune man and woman? >> this is much more swampy than forgotten men and women. he's going back on some of his campaign rhetoric about being the president who was going to fight back on wall street. to the contrary, this is precisely the policy agenda that helped inflate the housing bubble that in turn led to a great recession that we've pretty much almost climbed out of eight years into an economic recovery.

somehow people are convincing themselves we don't need these kind of regulations, we do. >> what will change these executive orders day-to-day? >> you need congress. for example, the dodd-frank law set up the consumer financial protection bureau. it was a very important institution that's put $12 billion to consumers who've been ripped off by financial institutions. however, within an executive order to agency heads you can instruct those at the security exchange commission to slow walk the complementtation of these regulations or go backwards. >> there is potential for improvement here. let's hear what he said and i'll get your thought.

in that sound former congressman barney frank says there are thresholds. he said i don't know if he need an executive order order to make these adjustments and it has been there those ideas for a couple years now. >> these folks are not talking about mentioned mending laws. some of the complementtation is more burdensome on smaller firms they don't have the personnel that can figure this stuff out. it's a complicated piece of work. nobody's saying it's perfect, but they're not talking about mending it around the edges. they're talking about getting rid of it so wall street can once again rip against these innovation tools. >> gathering at the white house, this seems anti-thet cal to what was happening during the

election. seems now there's more energy behind him and maybe they're saying look at the dow, it looks great. this is the right person for us this new president. >> you really have to think about who does -- when there's a rip roaring stock market and a parade of ceos coming out of that meeting, they were saying this was a great meeting because we shall going to get tax cuts. you have to ask yourself who are the beneficiaries of these policies? i'm here to tell you that not only were some of the big financial houses, the ones who took the economy down, but they were the ones who recovered first of all, and the ones who were the beneficiaries of the bailouts as well. who's being left behind are the working class people that helped get this president where he is today. >> we'll see if they're watching. how could the current

under arrest but in handcuffs, put in a police cruiser. we don't know if they were placed under arrest. for the most part, pretty peaceful demonstrations. i spoke earlier with the special agent in charge in houston with the fbi. he said the government encourages people to express their first amendment rights as long as they do it orderly. most othe security for tonight, richard, is downtown houston where all of the entertainment is taking place. thousands of thousands of people having a good time. a lot of law enforcement. the focus shifts to the stadium, the site of super bowl li tomorrow night. a massive police presence on the ground around the stadium. wide perimeters established. if there are any protesters or demonstrators who hope to get near the stadium they realize they will not be allowed to do so. a lot don't have permits. they will have to stay on public access sidewalks, not in the street blocking traffic or anything of that sort.

there will be bomb machine sniffing dogs, black hawk helicopters checking for threats in the air, looking down on the ground. perhaps somebody trying to get to the stadium in the air. that will be something they focus on heavily. in terms of people getting into the stadium tomorrow, the lines are very long. it could take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour to get through the gates into the stadium. they are telling people please do not bring big bags. they will not be allowed. only clear plastic bags with your personal belongings, umbrellas, poles, signs, none of that will be allowed. think of it as a giant tsa line. it will only take you longer to get into the stadium tomorrow night. so this is a massive security operation under way here. and as the department of homeland security describes it, this is a tier 1 event, a big national event. richard, back to you. >> and they're watching it for you. if it has three letters and has to do with professional sports, ron mott will be there whether

it's mlb, nba, or in this case the nfl. he always gets the good giggs watching this day, this evening, security measures. next, an update on the nationwide protests on president trump's immigration order. this one the scene at san francisco international airport. we'll take you to at locn when we come back. when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum -tum -tum -tum smoothies! only from tums

still our breaking story on this saturday almost 8:00 in the east. we have been watching protests in los angeles, west palm beach, florida, just some of the locations across the country against president trump's immigration ban that sparked a second weekend of protests as the justice department files a notice of appeal in defense of that order just within the last hour. nbc's anne thompson is in west palm beach, and katie beck in los angeles. how close are the marchers now

to mere law going. >> a small group of protesters came over the bridge. they weren't supposed to go over the bridge. they have stood outside and they are protesting here. you can see the police who are lined up here, palm beach county sheriff's police in riot gear with visors and helmets. you can see people going in. they first come over here. they get checked. then they drive into the property. it started about 7:00 tonight. but these people have been out since 6:00. they are adamant they want the president to hear their message. richard? >> i know it's tough to hear me right now. has it heated up at all now that they are face to face? >> i'm sorry, richard. it's really hard to hear you for

the noise. but there has been no effort by anyone from the trump administration turning out to talk to people. there have been largely more that want their voices heard. they want them to know they oppose it. they want that message to go over the wall to the president of the united states. richard. >> thank you so much. we have all been there. as soon as the lights come on, in such situations, folks start to amp up the volume. i thank you for that vote in mar-a-lago. katie, what are you seeing there? katie beck, i know you had an inflection point of crescendo. at 5:00, it looks like it has quieted down a bit. >> reporter: it has. it has been an eventful day but

it's winding down. what's left of the trump protesters are there across the street. but not very many. by and large it's been a peaceful day for both sides. so really a pretty good dialogue. >> thank you so much, katie beck there in los angeles. anne thompson as well. we have continued to watch what is happening across the country. we've got two reports, one in florida, one in california. we are also watching new york city. we had houston as well today. and the president reacting to what has happened today. not only the protests but, again, the full reversal of his executive order. this is his latest reaction within the last bunch of minutes. the judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. bad people are very happy. but of course the department of justice, the trump administration, as we were just saying, is moving forward to

rein state the efficacy of his executive order a notice of a people we'll continue to watch that on msnbc. for now, that does it for here. i'm richard louie. have a very good evening. good evening. live from the berlin wall. >> america has been attacked. we are at war. >> he don't just have egg in our face. we have omelets on our suits. >> for 50 years, tom brokaw has been telling america's story. tonight we tell his. >> you can take the boy out of south dakota but there's south dakota left in you. >> true. >> the war that defined him. >> you were born in 1940. >> everybody around me was going to war. i wore a helmet every day. >> desolate corner of iraq. >> the wars he's covered. >> what do you want to fight against? >> never thought we would be in iraq 14 years. >> the people he's
