>> more americans watch nbc news than any other news organization in the world. and a very good sunday to you. i'm richard louie in new york city. welcome to the pulse of america right here on msnbc. we're going to get your voice and it can be heard in real-time. here are the stories we want your voice on today. protests in houston, while the legal fight takes a new twist. will the pressure cause the president to change his mind on the ban? >> putin is a killer. >> a lot of killers. we got a lot of killers.

you think our country is so innocent? >> controversial comments there from donald trump comparing russia to the united states. did that comment about killers go over the line? and then protestors shut down who planned speeches on college campuses and now conservatives are saying their voices are willing silences. are campuses ill tolerant to right-wing viewpoints. with tens of millions of people watching, will it be political protests that spill over to the big game. >> to voice your opinions, just grab yr phone or laptop, any digital device. log on to muls dot msnbc.com/america and that's where you can participate, by selecting your response. a reminder you can vote as often as you like throughout today's show and i want to share those results throughout the hour. up first, though, president trump's immigration ban still on

hold after an emergency weekend hearing. a federal court denying the justice department's request to reinstate the policy. over this weekend protests around the country and around the world against the executive order also, which brings us to our first pulse question of the day. agree or disagree: president trump will respond to public pressure and rescind the immigration ban? you can log on. let's get straight to kelly o'donnell in florida where the president is spending the weekend. and, kelly, it was a busy evening yesterday there as the president was trying to attend a gala. >> reporter: yes. his home has more most of the past 60 years hosted the annual american red cross benefit. and i learned in doing this story that the president of the united states is always the honorary chairman of the american red cross. so with all of that history, the president and first lady were attending that gala charity

event last night. and that is the kind of thing that can certainly be a target point for protesters to use their concerns about the immigration ban to try to stage protests around palm beach to get attention and they certainly did that. from trump branded properties in the area and some of those protesters marching as close as they could to march ra la go. but today quieter in those respects as far as protests go. but some new issues have developed based on an interview the president taped friday before leaving for his weekend here in florida. and it will air in full as a part of the super bowl coverage, but we have had an early clip that's gotten a lot of attention in the way the president responded in the always seemingly news making issue of how he responds to russia and vladimir putin. so today bill to riley is

getting attention for the back and forth over putin and some of the putin's conduct and the unexpected comparison the president made. >> do you respect putin? >> i do respect him. >> do you? why? >> i respect a lot of people. but that doesn't mean i'm going to get along with him. he's a leader of his country. i say it is better to get along with russia than not and if they help us in the fight against isis and islamic terrorism. >> putin is a killer. >> a lot of killers. we got a lot of killers. do you think our country is so innocent? >> reporter: the president is suggesting that somehow the united states conduct around the world could be comparable to what is known about russia a putin where political enemies have been assassinated.

that's drawing some criticism from fellow republicans who say that is just going too far. defenders of the say that he was mostly talking about the fact that putin is a substantial world figure. the united states has to deal with him and the president was just trying to keep sort of that that negotiator in chief background, keep all options on the table. but the suggestion that somehow the united states might be comparable in its conduct with crimes associated with russia and the leadership of vladimir putin, that has been a new issue that the president will have to answer for. more of that interview will be coming up. mostly today a quiet day for the president. he was at one of his golf courses here in west palm beach. expected to take phone calls with the secretary general of nato. that's important because nato is concerned about russian aggression.

>> thank you so much, kelly. kelly o'donnell for us there with the president. a different backdrop in new york city today as kelly was showing us there in florida. a rally in support of the president. >> it's nice to be at a gathering of people that is in support of the president. >> everything that he has done over the past ten days is amazing and we're very exciting about every single executive order. >> okay. so they're in support of the president. this is following yesterday's rally at the iconic stone wall monument, those pictures there with thousands gathered downtown in opposition to president trump's cabinet picks and policies. mor gone is outside trump power for us. morgan. >> reporter: richard, we're standing outside of trump tower where pro-trump supporters are standing outside showing support for the president.

i want to show you this interest face-off. if you could look on this side, you could see a group of people who are anti-trump protesters. they are holding signs up saying donald trump, release your taxes. this is part of an ongoing anti-trump protest. people who saying they do not support the president's policies. but still on the other side you can see where people in here they're chanting things like we love trump. they want to make sure that their support is also heard. >> thank you to much. morgan radford for us. we're also watching rallies across the country on sunday. coast to coast protests to oppose the president's executive orders and policies. we'll take you to houston where protesters gathered for another demonstration on saturday. hundreds attended a march downtown to the heart of super bowl festivities. and then this morning overseas

protesters marched to the u.s. con sew lat general to show sol larty against the executive order. washington dulles's airport welcome signs and attorneys await international travelers after a federal appeals court upheld a temporary stop to the president's travel ban. got the same scene this hour as well at chicago o'hare airport. we'll continue to follow all of that happening across the country and for the immigration ban, the last 24 hours as you could tell have been quite busy. here's where we stand. january 27th the executive order was signed. it revoked thousands of visas. more than 100 people were detained. but then the next day a federal judge grants a stay. a different federal judge halts the immigration ban nationwide. this prompts the justice department, just after midnight last night, to file an emergency motion toold that ruling.

that takess to this morning. the emergency motion to hold was denied. but there is more. what's next? by midnight tonight the two states that asked the seattle judge to issue that original restraining order, they must submit a reply to the appeals court. then before 6:00 p.m. monday, tomorrow night, the justice department must reply. this all just part of efforts from attorneys general in 16 states to up end the order on immigration. one ofsachusetts attorney general. thank you for joining us. as we laid out all the details, the seattle ruling came after the ruling from a boston federal judge that you were a part of that you were leading in terms of the lawsuit. ruled there not to extend an

earlier temporary injunction. what is next for your efforts, madam attorney general? >> well, great to be with you and i'll tell you where we're at right now. there is a nationwide ban in place imposed by the seattle federal district court that is very good because as a result now travelers are able to come into this country. vee sisa holders are able to co into the country and you see the amazing scenes over the weekend here at the airports. we are going to continue to press ahead. you see state attorneys general working together across this country. our case is in its beginning stages in massachusetts. we expect to be able to go forward and brief the matter. but the important news right now is that a federal natioide stay is in place. department of homeland security and the state department are complying with the law as they should and that is a very good thing. >> what is the next step and when will you do it for you?

>> here's where we're coming from on this. we knew we had to take action on behalf of residents of our states, on behalf of our state interests. i'll tell you what this meant for us. we had students that were overseas who literally could not get back into the country with this executive order. we had gifted research fellows from some of our major teaching hospitals who could not get back into this country. we had two college professors at the university of massachusetts couldn't get back to ma massachusetts where they have lived for a number of years to teach their engineering courses. this caused souch havoc to our t students and employers. i can't tell you the number of business leaders that came forward. that's why we filed this lawsuit. what the president did was discriminatory. it violated the law. it violated equal protection.

you can't discrime nate against people based on their national origin. it violated due process of law. because remember so many of these people were valid visa holders, including a man from iraq who was a military interpreter, served our country who would not have been able to enter the country yesterday. these are not dangerous people. >> i do want to in the time we've got. i want to ask you this question because the president as you probably saw was tweeting in response to what has happened in the last week. and he tweeted this. he says why aren't the lawyers looking at and using the federal court decision in boston, which is at conflict with ridiculous lift ban decision? how would you answer that question? he's basically saying the decision from the federal judge in boston, why aren't they following that one than the one in seattle. >> first of all, that's a preliminary decision. right now we have a nationwide ban imposed.

we will join with other state attorney generals. our job is to stand up for the constitution, to stand up for the rule of law and no president, president trump and his administration are not above the law. that's what was made clear in the court's ruling so far. that's great news. it is critically important. and unfortunately, we have an executive who doesn't seem to get it. >> let me ask you this. what state, because you're one of the 16, at least so far. what state are you watching now that where action may come out of their lawsuit or their efforts? >> well, richard, i talked to my colleagues across this country and you referenced the fact that 16 or 17 of us have already spoken out. many of us have filed actions. we are working together. this is an issue that deeply affects our states and our state interests and really more than anything, richard, this is an affront to the constitution. what president trump did was violate the constitution. so you will see a lot of advocacy, a lot of action and we

will continue to press ahead. we will go as far as we need to, but we are delighted right now to see what the courts have ruled so far. it is so, so important that in our system, our system that relies on three branches of government, that we have the access to the courts and the availability to take our case on behalf of american people to the courts to hold an administration accountable that doesn't seem to want to play by the rules. we will continue the work. it is so important. >> madam attorney general, thank you for taking time on this sunday. protesters on the streets of houston, we have been watching that. we're asking you, agree or disagree: president trump will ultimately respond to public pressure and rescind the immigration ban? log on and vote. ep one: point decisively with the arm of your glasses. abracadabra. the stage is yours.

you've got people in the streets here. this president has not brought this nation together. as he says he's working for his base. well, there are a majority of people that are outside of that base. and i think, you know, my best advice has been and i was able to say this to him directly, please, mr. president, you have to bring this country together. >> california senator dianne feinstein earlier today on the sunday shows. what you heard there is she is referencing what you have been seeing over the past three weekends. protests. and many of them across the country and around the world to rally against president trump. just this weekend there have been demonstrations in new york, boston, houston, london and elsewhere and the dissent

against this white house does not seem to be dying down. we're asking you, agree or disagree, president trump will ultimately respond to public pressure and rescind the immigration ban. go to pulse.msnbc.com/america. but first i want to bring a contributor, former spokesman for george w. bush and former communications director to senator chuck schumer. all three of you have been seeing a lot of activity. i'll start with you, mike, on this. every location, every weekend, are we going to see protests? >> i think you are. i think what you are seeing here -- we were chatting about this earlier. a corollary to what happened in 2010, which is a level of activism that is primarily encouraged by the fact that the president hasn't really done anything to bring the two sides together. historically after a president the president realizes i'm the

president of the whole country. therefore, i should do things to bring us together. the president has done the opposite of that. i think you're seeing the democratic party has not seen this engagement in quite some time. if you are watching right now, you have got congressmen running out of back doors and town halls. you have a congressmen escorted by police. i think we are seeing a level of abo aboutty viz m that is a long time coming. >> he does not want to be known as the presidency of protests. does this get under the skin for him? >> i think it's getting a bit under his skin only because we've seen in tweets that he's talked about these protests, t fact he's acknowledging there are pele out in the streets, en thoug he's claimed in some tweets that they were paid or he's called them thrugs, i thin

the idea is he's paying attention to these people and he recognizes there are thousands, if not millions of people who have voiced their opinion very loudly that they are not in support of him. i think he is encouraged by the fact there are a couple of pro-trump protests and that in some ways might make him feel like i'm keeping the promises to my constituents. which is what he's doing, the idea of the ban and building the wall, he is keeping his promises. but protesters feel that is making people come together because they feel as though all the things he said on the campaign trail are going to come to fruition. >> yeah. you bring up a good point because we have pro trump marches right now. for instance, right here in new york city today. when you look at this, might this will be rallying call to bring together his supporters, number one, number two bring together the republican cal party because there is so many

progressives in the streets so far. >> we have seen a lot of sound and furry. i ask myself how many of those supports were neutral to donald trump during te election and i think the answer is not many. i think we have a long way to go before we seehis engagement really start to translate into organization and true activity that could make a difference. namely defeat some incouple wants in 2017 terms. when we had the tea party in 2010, you saw business people, funeral parlor owners leaving their businesses to run for congress because they were organized and mobilized to do something. i don't believe we're there yet with regard to a lot of the activity that we're seeing. >> dianne feinstein, you heard what she was suggesting. bring the country together. why doesn't he do that, address what has been happening for his

first three weekends as president of the united states? >> because it's not part of his political persona. i would like to see that as a proud member of the republican establishment such as it is these days. but that's not who donald trump is. i don't think he's interested necessarily in healing the country. he's interested in getting his agenda through and getting his way. >> it's spreading because we're also seeing this with other members of the republican party that are protesting in front of john carlo's house but also protesting for instance with speaker ryan. he has to face these very same voices. do we see this then branching out to other leaders of the republican party just because they are supporting some strongly, some not so strongly donald trump. >> this is definitely branching out. i was just on the phone last week with a young man in d.c. who has set up a spreadsheet

listing all the republicans in a town hall in a way to encourage protesters to show up and they could have these face to face confrontations. so i should say progressive protesters are of course targeting republicans and really making lists of where they are going to be and passing it around but they are also targeting democrats, the ideas there are thousands of people outside chuck schumer's home making sure he knows his constituents want him to vote no on these nominees. i should say, i've talked to at least a couple of protesters who said i used to be focussed on protesting and other things and now i'm focused on making sure we have people to run in 2018. we have already seen that pivot of people saying we're going to actually be running candidates. >> mike, we've got to go. thank you so much. appreciate all three of you on a topic that i think we'll have an opportunity to discuss again. all right. for our first pulse question

today we have been asking so far agree or disagree, president trump will ultimately respond to public pressure and rescind the immigration ban. these are the results so far. overall 85% say nope. president trump will ultimately respond to public pressure, no, he's not going to do that and then we take a look at political party. republicans, a little bit more evenly split. but when you look at democrats and independents, strongly disagree with that. finally, when it comes to gender, men and women both disagree. men disagree a bit more than women at least on the data we have seen so far and then finishing off again 85% disagrees with that statement. mike morry hearsre saying it ist surprising to him. >> his response, our country is so innocent? that's the subject of our second poll question. agree or disagree: president

trump should apologize for that statement. imagine if the things you 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. the united mileageplus explorer card.

imagine where it will take you.

do you respect putin? >> i do respect him. >> why? >> i respect a will the lot of . he a lear of his country. i say it's better to get along with russia than not and if russia helps us in the fight against isis and islamic terrorism around the world, that's a good thing. >> he's a killer, though. putin is a killer. >> there is a will the of kilot. do you think our country is so innocent. >> president trump defending putin. trump's comments triggered criticism after that. this tweet from the deputy

editorial editor. never in history has a president slandered his country like this. >> there is no moral i kwef lensy between the united states of america and the murderous thugs in putin's defense. there is no moral equivalency there. >> that brings us to our second poll question for you. agree or disagree. president trump should apologize for his our country is so innocent comment. go to pulse.msnbc.com. for more on this, let's bring in steve clemens. you know, he gave that comment as you know so well, steve, in front of the cia. if he gave that comment in front of the fbi and in front of many vets across the country, i'm not so sure that he would have said what he did say.

>> well, i'm not sure what he did. he said it and the bottom line is the united states does not kill with impunity and vladimir putin has. that statement has to be walked back and restrakted by the president because it sends a very scary signal to our friends and allies around the country that we have a very different set of moral benchmarks that they can't support. so it's an extraordinary statement. i agree with brett stevens and ben sass that we have never heard a president say this. >> what is he saying, do you think? >> look, i think that this is new for donald trump. and i feel for him in a way because i think there is a lot rushing at him. he has certain views and convictions about america's power in the world and he is trying to present a tough, pugnacious, muscular presidency that is going to wrestle some

problems. he admires certain leaders. he's mentioned admiring kim jong un. but clearly he represents vladimir putin for that kind of strength. in donald trump's untrained mind in these issues, this is the way he sees it. >> steve, what is the end game? >> i think the end game right now, as you have been profiling, we have a couple weeks that have been really rocky. he has to stabilize relations with key allies. with everything unfolding in asia, with the concern that president obama expressed to trump about where north korea is going in its ballistic missile program, with the collision course with china, japan is a vital nation and we have to see whether he he beginning to temper his credit rick and his commentary so as to demonstrate that we could secure a

fundamental key ally. not hang up on them, but demonstrate we could have a mature solid relationship. that would give him a track back to achieve confidence not only of leaders around the world but key leaders in congress that doubt h rht now. >> we know secretary mattis in asia. there have been good reviews of what he has done there and he's really trying to calm those leaders of donald trump and his statements. does that work? because you kind of have a left hand/right hand situation here. >> general mattis was a rock star on friday in tokyo. they love him. there is an enormous amount of faith and confidence in our secretary of defense right now. and it is important that donald trump reafie that confidence and not undermine it. we will see this play out in a

few days. >> the conversation was reportedly said president trump had with the ukrainian president. can trump reassure ukraine of its commitment to a peaceful solution there? >> not yet. not with the comments that he just made about vladimir putin. i was vice president's last time to ukraine. that was the day that donald trump said that he would be willing to do some kind of nuclear deal with the russians. if that went well to waive the sanctions put in place because of the dissecting of crew yan and the taking of crimea. i think right now that words from donald trump in this particular case won't matter. actions matter much more to the ukrainian's who feel just about on the edge of everything right now and are somewhat petrified of the situation, given what they see is the very, very

ambivalent relationship between leading european countries and the united states. ukraine is not in europe. they are being supported by europe. they are worried they are at the end of a plank and no one is advocating for them. that is the key thing, whether donald trump will come around and support them. that will matter to the ukrainians. >> thanks for tling us about the key things as always. we have been asking you throughout this morning, rather afternoon, agree or disagree. president trump should apologize for his our country is so innocent comment. the one steve and i were just talking about. first off, overall for you, 9% disagree. 91% say, yes, he should apologize for that comment. most ang groups agree, except for people, those who are 25 to 34. it appears. but again 3% disagreeing there.

by political party, democrats strongly agree. republicans a slightly more neutral. but again the majority, 89% say yes. president trump should apologize. thanks for your input on that. of course we'll continue to follow what the results are to the end of the show. next for you, campus protesters shut down planned speeches by conservatives and we are asking you agree or disagree, college campuses are intolerant of conservative viewpoints. tell us what you think.

thanks for staying with us. protests at two college campuses in response to appearances by conservative speakers made headlines this week. one at nyu and the other at uc

berkeley where the free speech began in 1964. that was jack wine berg you see here. police asked him for his id. he refused. and they arrested him. weeks later, thousands protested on campus and they did it again and again. >> you have got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon believers, upon all the apparatuses and you have got to make it stop and indicate to the people who are running that unless you are free, the machine will be prevented from working at all. >> the iconic mario salve you there. since then, uncountable student gathering. then in 1989 this. on the 25th anniversary of the free speech movement, a six inch circle of soil surrounded by a six-foot circle of granite. the inspripgs on it. this soil shall not be apart of any nation and shall not be

subject to any entities jurisdiction. a symbolic free speech air space. like at stanford and penn state. fast forward to this past wednesday when angry demonstrations broke out at uc berkeley. at nyu, it was in response to actor comedian gavin mcginn nis. agree or disagree, college campuses are intoll rent of conservative viewpoints. log on. and joining us right now to discuss that a democratic strategist and a gop strategist. evan, answer that question for me. >> i think they're getting to be. when we're seeing this safe

space movement where if somebody says something that triggers someone and they can't tolerate it, they have to feel very safe and protected, it's countered the idea of college itself. college is about finding alternative viewpoints that you might not agree with, but being able to understand them and hear them. ruled that the american flag being burned is protected free speech. i personally hate someone burning the flag, but i will fight to the death of somebody's ability to do that. >> i have to disagree. let's b clear abo something. we're not talking about free speech. we're talking aut hate speech. milo was kicked off of twitter because he shamed leslie jones when he was in the new ghost busters movie. the hate speech is not protect bid the constitution and this is not someone that should be given a platform under any circumstances. if you are talking about someone who is looking to insight others to hatred, it is not something

we should be allowing on college campuses. >> four in ten mill len yals agree that people should be prevented from making statements to minority groups. are people getting too sensitive these days? >> i think it's clear that, look, millenials have been -- we have seen protest and action on unprecedented levels and we should be hearing that and we should be -- and our college campuses should be reflecting that desire to reflect our american values. >> to you, evan. >> i would say if there is hate speech and then there are hate actions. there is great to go out and protest and be involved in a political cause. but when you go out and rye yat and commit violence, that is absolutely wrong. milo is a despicable human being, but he has the right to be heard.

if you can't stomach it, you don't deserve to listen. >> but why is he given the platform to share just despicable thoughts. >> so you can understand alternative views and have a lessen from it. you can say, okay, this guy says x, y and z which i find offensive but i am listening to it and i disagree with it. >> it is so extreme that an alternative view is not the right way to describe it. again, a person who has been banned from twitter should not be allowed -- >> there are colleges that had protests over the culture appropriation of algebra. it is getting too hyper and oversensitive. >> just a yes or no answer. donald trump says because of these protests and the violence that happened here, he is going to pull funding. should he do that. >> absolutely wrong. >> absolutely not. >> spirited conversation. have a good super bowl sunday. there is still time to make your

voice heard on this topic. agree or disagree: college campuses are intolerant of conservative viewpoints. coming up for you, politics, protests and lady ga ga, all at the super bowl. this lovely lady has a typical airline credit card. so she only earns double miles on purchases she makes from that airline. what'd you earn double miles on, please? ugh. that's unfortunate. there's a better option. the capital one venture card.

with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, everywhere, every day. not just airline purchases. seems like a no-brainer. what's in your wallet?

we want to take you to some pictures right here in texas. arrivaling at dulles airport, rather not in texas but virginia right outside of washington, d.c. but the arrivals section there and also a response. as we watch these pictures from president trump and the immigration ban and it being reversed. he is saying just cannot believe a judge would put our country in pearl. if something happens blame him and court system. people pouring in, bad. again those arrivals coming into virginia. i have instructed home security to check people coming into our

country very carefully. the courts are making the job very difficult. again, responding to the federal judge in seattle who basically reversed his executive order. we have been asking this, college campuses are intolerant of conservative viewpoints. breaking it down by age, people 25 and over, well, they disagree. people younger than that were more neutral. and then the final scoreboard, overall for you, let's get you that number. here it is. 65% disagree. college campuses are intolerant of conservative viewpoints. 35% though do agree with that. thanks for your input on that pulse question. we will have another one for you coming up. with kick off less than three hours away, security is tight at the super bowl and you can now voice your opinion on our fourth and final poll question. yeah, we're going to talk about super bowl. agree or disagree, a politically charged atmosphere would overshadow the big game. agree or disagree?

thanks for staying with us. kickoff in houston hours away. amid the excitement on the field there are political tensions with protests taking place near nrg stadium the last two days. fourth and final pulse question of the day, agree or disagree? a politically charged atmosphere will overshadow the super bowl. logon to puls pulse .msnbc.com/america. let's go to jacob rascon to houston inside and outside the excitement to come. a lot of questions circulating leading to the super bowl. is the political climate affecting the celebrations? what are you seeing? >> reporter: this is a lively protest that's been going on a couple of hours. they marched over here near the

stadium. i think that their reality check is that over there where the stadium is, you have 70,000, 80,000 people, an additional tens of thousands of people who have come to houston. most of them are focused on the game. they're excited. they're having tailgating parties, eating food. this is a small group, 300 to 400 people, very lively, marching and chanting here for a while now. in fact, i'll pull one of them aside. tony, would you mind just telling me why did you decide to come? why is this important to be that the protest? >> it is very important cause we want to exercise our civil liberties that are trying this country, exercise this right when we have a president in the white house that's really leading this country on the precipous of hatred. and, more personally, i come from a country that has a lot of refugees in the united states.
