lost night trump held a pointless rally in florida which got road block conch across news. there was one thing he said while warning about the danger of refugees that caught people's attention. >> you look at what's happening last night in sweden. sweden. who would believe this. sweden. they took in large numbers. they're having problems like they never thought possible. >> oerh no, what happened. did someone blow up sweden's

most famous landmark and if they did, what was it? there was one problem with what the president said. this sums it up. >> we start this news plea from sweden to the u.s. government asking what is your president talking about? >> after bewildering officials in sweden, president trump is explaining a remark he made over the weekend where he suggested a terror related incident had taken place in the country. >> we're getting a look at the potential candidates to replace michael flynn after robert harward turned down the job. thousands of people are expected to protest donald trump's immigration policies in an effort called not my president's day. hey there, good morning. it's monday, february 20th. president trump has been in

office one month and this morning the white house is still trying to put key chess pieces in place after firing michael flynn last week. and we're look the draft me moments for new deportation and immigration time lines. kelly o'donnell has the details. >> reporter: good morning. president trump is playing headhunter in chief trying to fill one of the most important jobs in his white house team. and at same time they're formulating new policies that will be central to one of his top priorities. behind the scenes at the president's maurg home, frump is interviewing four job candidates to preplace if national security adviser, michael flynn. the white house chief of staff insisted the president's choice will not be forced to keep flynn's national security council team. >> the president said very

clearly that the gnaw nsa director will have total and complete say over the makeup of the nsc. >> the trump administration is poised to roll out new enforcement plans on immigration. >> general kelly, now secretary kelly he's really doing the job. >> new draft memos signed by secretary kelly from the department of homeland security read like a blueprint for the president's priorities. at a saturday night rally mr. trump emphasized deporting criminals. >> get them the hell out of here. >> reporter: the draft memos, a get tough approach recommend hiring 10,000 officers and agents, deputizing qualified local la law enforcement to assist with deportations. expedite the removal of undocumented immigrants in the u.s. for two years or less. undocumented parents who pay smugglers to bring children into

the country could face prosecution. immigration advocates are worried. >> if these memos go forward and even if they don't, their intent to create fear and chaos in communities across the country. >> reporter: trump administration officials are pushing back saying these memos are only drafts that have not been signed off by the white house. and while some components might be accurate, revisions are still being made. >> thank you for that. president trump has left one european nation collectively scratching their heads after seemingly alluded to a terrorist attack in that country to justify his travel ban. this during a rally in florida over the weekend. >> we've got to keep your country safe. you look at what's happening. we've got to keep your country safe. you look at what's happening last night in sweden, sweden. who would believe this? sweden. they took in large numbers, they're having problems like

they never thought possible. >> so there's just one problem with the president's claim, no attack actually happened on friday night in happen. as one swedish tabloid pointed out to the president, some incident did occur that night but they range from a man setting himself on fire in stockholm to a portion of the highway being closed due to weather. one popular singer experienced technical problems. but pretty much a quiet evening. we leasing a statement we don't have any information what trump was talking about. we've asked for an explanation. carol built was also asking for an explanation, questions abound. the white house looked to clarify the president's claims of one official telling reporters yesterday that the president was talking about rising crime and recent incidents in general and was not

referring to a specific incident. the president trump tweeted, this was in reference to a story broadcast on fox news concerning immigrants in sweden. that was part of a story on friday night with a documented fi film make h maker. >> perhaps no nation on earth is for committed to accepting foreign immigrants than sweden. 2016 alone the country accepted more than 160,000 asylum seekers. they're not able to wrk, they're at least able to create crimes. quite a few of them. this film maker went to sweden. >> see the violence spreading across sweden to the cities? >> at least one or two times a week. >> and let's say five years ago how often would you say it is. >> three times a year. >> the sweden snafu by the president marks the latest.

>> i bet there was very little coverage. i bet it's brand-new information to people that president obama had a six-month ban on the iraqi refugee program after two iraqis came here to the country, radicalize and were the master minds behind the bowling green massacre. >> i don't think you have to look further than the families of the boston marathon in atlanta, in san bernardino to ask if we can go further. there's steps that we can take and the president is going to do what he can to make sure that country is as safe as possible. >> spicer later said he meant orlando, not san bernardino. john mccain is warning democratic leaders around the world about a new ethnic night nationalism that's moving across the world. now speaking at the munich security conference, mccain

invoked one of the gatherings founder, how woshld events today would be alarming and all too familiar for his generation. >> they would be alarmed by an increasing turn away from universal values toward old ties of blood and race and sectarianism. they would be alarmed by the hardening resentment we see towards immigrants and refugees and minority groups, especially muslims. they would be alarmed by the growing inability and even unwillingness to separate truth from lies. they would be alarmed that more and more of our fellow citizens seem to be flirting with authoritarianism. >> senate mccain is on the cover of the new issue of new york magazine in which he says, the dang is not trump taking too

much power. the danger is the polarization of america. this morning mike pence is meeting with top officials in brussels. he spent the weekend meeting with world leaders in munich with the goal of reassuring allies that the u.s. is committed to maintaining international historic partnerships. joining us now, nbc foreign n w correspondent. have they been able to put them at ease over their concerns? >> reporter: this is the final leg of what some have dubbed the vice president's european reassurance tour, trying too calm allies about concerns whether his boss supports nato, truly committed to european security. this morning actually he met with the eu's foreign policy chief and someone shouted a question at mike pence asking if

president trump is really truly supportive of the eu. he didn't answer the question, he ignored it. but it reflects some legitimate concerns on this side of the atlantic about what the policy is. european leaders don't live in a bubble. they've watched with alarm donald trump's rise, they've seen his pronouncements criticizing nato, supporting russia at a time when europe wants to see a weaker and more isolated america. did mike pence succeed? he certainly said all of the right things. but i think the jury is still out. will the actions of the white house mirror mike pence's words. that remains to be seen. >> lucy kaf november live in belgium. iraqi forces have we again their latest effort. it comes as the trump administration faces divisions over revealing information ef

over its efforts to fight the terror group. during thursday's news conference president trump pushed back when asked to offer up details of his battle plans. >> i'm not going to tell you anything about what response i do. i don't say i'm going into mosul in four months. we're going to attack mosul in four months. then three months later, we're going to attack mosul in one month. next week we're going to attack mosul. mosul is very very difficult. you know why? i don't talk about military and i don't talk about certain other things. >> but yesterday the u.s. central command announced the beginning of the operation to retake mosul. lieutenant general stephen townsend said the battle would be a tough fight for any army in the world. during the campaign president trump hammered obama for announcing operations before they got under way. ton saturday president trum

said a plan will come within a couple of weeks. replacing the health care law will required 60 votes in the senate. republicans have a 52 majority so that means they'll have to wrk with the democratidemocrats >> it's time for the senate democrats to take responsibility for obamacare and work with us to replace it with new reforms to replace this nationwide health care tragedy. i said to the republicans, you want to do something great politically, don't do anything, sit back for two years, let it explode, the democrats will come and beg for us to do something but we can't do that to the american people. we have to fix it and we will. still ahead, malaysian authorities are searching for now more supports in the king of

final. the president spent sunday entire viewing. being vetted lieutenant general hr mcmaster, robert kas len jr., keith kel log, a retired general serving as acting national security adviser and former u.n. ambassador john boll on the. retired vice admiral robert harward opted not to take the job and former cia director made it clear he couldn't take the assignment unless he picked the staff now led by a number of people chosen by flynn, many of whom have been widely criticized as unqualified. "the wall street journal" reported that the president wouldn't guarantee full control over staffing but the white house vehemently denied that. >> the new director can say i don't want steve bannon as a member of the former national

security council? >> the president said very clearly that the new nsa director will have total and complete say over the makeup of the nsc and all of the compone t components of the nsc. there's no demand made by president trump on any candidate for nsa director. >> at all. including getting steve bannon out. it's unusual to have a political operative in that role. >> those reports that you're siti citing, more fake news stories that are untrue. >> top officials remain concerned about the trump's relationship with the intelligence community that serves him. >> what do you hear on the moral front? >> obviously it's not a good situation because there is a lack of trust between the president and the intelligence community and between the intelligence community and the president. and you know, every time he demeans the intelligence

community or accuses it of leaks or accuses it of doing things that it's not doing, that obviously impacts on the moral of that, of that institution. the last thing they need is to have a president who questions their patriotism to this country and to him. >> and amid questions over the president and his staff's tie to russia, the "the new york times" reports that some of mr. trump's associates are working behind the scenes on a way to lift sanctions against russia, coming in the form of a peace plan between russia and the e crane. among those pushing, the president's personal lawyer michael cohen and one of the president's business associates. the men told the paper they have not yet spoken to the president about it. here's vice president pence speaking on the russian-ukraine relationship in munich over the weekend. >> with record to ukraine we must hold russia accountable and demand that they honor the minsk

agreements. >> meanwhile the administration is still being pressed over allegations that the trump campaign has repeated contacts with russian intelligence during the elections. >> can he say definitively that nobody on his campaign, nobody that he's been associated with had any contacts with any russian agents? >> no. first of all, the answer is no and we don't know of any, any contacts with russian agents. i know what the intelligence committees in the house and the senate were told by the fbi. and i know what i was told and what i will tell you is that story was total ba lony. >> can the americans be confident that the congress can investigate this president if

necessary? >> i hope so and i believe to. more hope than belief. >> to our german friends, you're next. to our friends in france, they're coming after you. and to my friend mr. laugh rof, i hope you finally suffer some consequences of what you and your regime have been doing to democracies in 2017 is going to be a year of kicking russia in the ass in congress. >> we're getting an inside look at how the russian government is watching all of this on the international level play out. joining us now from moscow, chief global correspondent bill neely. you heard senator lindsey graham, one of the harsh comments directed toward russia. what have you learned in terms of russia's reaction to how this is playing out. >> reporter: well the kremlin is actually watching events in washington closely with growing alarm. they actually want president trump to succeed because he might lift u.s. sanctions on

russia. but the kremlin is also trying to get inside his mind. behind the walls of the kremlin, they're preparing vladimir putin for a first meeting with america's president. >> everything is under preparation. >> reporter: compiling a dossier on donald trump's mental strengths and weaknesses. >> so describing the psychological part of trump, especially based on the last two or three months. >> reporter: the kremlin experts believe mr. trump can be naive. >> he doesn't understand fully who is mr. putin. he's a tough guy. >> reporter: he picks risky fighting they believe like with the media. >> he's dancing on thin ice. it's a risky game. >> reporter: and relies on his intuition more than his advisers. >> he should listen to the people, especially in the areas where he's weak. >> reporter: the kremlin is watching president trump's problems over russia, including

losing his national security adviser with growing alarm according to putin's former prime minister. is he laughing in the kremlin? >> absolutely not. it's very serious and the team is nervous. >> reporter: in the kremlin they want president trump to end u.s. sanctions against russia and to improve relations. but they're worried that signs that he's getting tougher on russia and may not deliver. many believe har lineders in america want to sabotage the president and his russia plans, some even talk here of a conspiracy. >> against president donald trump. they want to overthrow him. >> reporter: they want to overthrow him . >> yes, absolutely. >> reporter: well so far no date has been set for that first meeting. some thought it would be in april or may.

vladimir putin is preparing for a pragmatic deal maker in donald trump and he's not preparing for easy talks. >> definitely not the end of this ongoing saga between washington and moscow. bill neely love in moscow. the white house says that president donald trump is sirius about the press being the enemy after the commander in chief tweeted on friday, the fake news media failing "the new york times," nbc news, abc, cbs, cnn is not my enemy, the enemy of the american people. reince priebus said there's no mystery to the president's words. >> should we take that seriously from him? >> i think you should take it seriously. the problem we've got is we're talking about bogus stories like the one in the "the new york times" that we've had constant contact with the russian officials. the next day "the wall street journal" had a story that the intel community was not giving the president a full intelligence briefing. both stories grossly inaccurate,

overstated, overblown and it's total garbage. so we spend 48 hours on bogus stories and the american people suffer. >> the enemy? >> well the theory is that the press is supposed to be a free forum of information to speak to the american people. i think it ought to be accurate. >> but members of the president's party gis disagree with the white house and so did one of the highest ranking members of trump's administration, defense secretary james mattis. >> sir, president trump has said that this week that the prez is the enemy of the american people. do you agree? >> i have had some rather contentious times with the press but no, the press, as far as i'm concerned, are a constituency that we deal with and i don't have any issues with the press myself. >> i hate the press. i hate you especially.

but the fact is we need you. we need a free press. we must have it. it's vital. if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. and without it i'm afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. that's how dictators get started. >> that's how dictators get started with tweets like that? >> no. they get started by suppressing a free press. i'm not saying that president trump is trying to be a dictator. i'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history. >> members of congress returning home for a week long legislative process. western new york state representative tom reid was met by a crowd so large the event was moved outside to the parking lot. >> i'm here to listen on your ideas on health care first.

let me go -- let me throw one out that i'm very supportive of. how about, how about our conversation -- where do people -- where do people stand -- [ crowd chanting ]. >> and in south carolina representative mark sanford and senator tim scott were on a defensive at a joint hall where they faceds 200 people who grilled the legislators for four hours. concerns from health care to taxes to education. meanwhile a democratic super pac launched paid social media designed to inform voters who know about republican held town hall events. the ads will target people who are likely to become more politically active in the aftermath of recent protests. still ahead, an explosive blog post catches the attention of uber's ceo. he's ordering an investigation.

amid escalating tensions between the united states and iran, i rainian foreign minister sat down the richard engel on the sidelines of the munich security council. he had strong words about president trump's travel ban calling it quote absurd while questioning the message the u.s. is trying to send with it. >> this was the single most important help to the extreme iists because it provides them with the rallying ground to attract new followers. >> despite the president's

declaration that the iran nuclear agreement is a bad deal, the foreign minister said iran is not interested in renegotiating and opening a quote pandora's box. >> the nuclear agreement was not based on mutual kafd but mutual lack of confidence. if the agreement is violated when iran has the right to go back to its problem. >> he also warned that rhetoric from the trump administration, the on notice threat is ineffective. >> iran is used to this type of language from the united states. we don't respond well to this type of language. would work much better if they used the language of mutual respect and interest and that would make iranians respond positively. protests continue over president trump's immigration policy. thousands across the u.s. spent their holiday weekend rallying in a movement called not my

president's day. then in london, a petition that garnered two million signatures gets it day in parliament today. joining us from london, matt bradley. matt a good day to you. i think we've got thousands expect theed at this rally toda right? >> this could really be the rip roaring debate, the kind of thing for which the uk parliament is famous. you can expect some angry lawmakers when they get going debating donald trump's state visit. but what you probably won't see is a vote or some kind of final decision barring president trump from the state visit. this debate is a response to a petition that got a stunning 1 million 858,000 digital signatures demanding that trump be disinvited to britain for the state visit. that number could still grow, far exceeding the 100,000 signatures needed to get this proposal to the house of commons

floor. but this petition only requires that parliament take up to topic for debate. teresa may said she's going to proceed with the visit as plan. buckingham palace has said nothing. the u.s. president hosts state visits but this british state viz is an extraordinary event. trump would be hosted for a meal by the 90-year-old queen of england. you'll hear a lot of insults about trump, lively debate but probably you can't expect the government to change its mind. >> interesting to match. thank you. a look at the storying happening in the day ahead on "morning joe" and that's going to start in a few minutes anyway. ♪ heigh ho heigh ho ♪ ♪ heigh ho heigh ho it's off to work we go here's to all of you early risers, what's up man?

i discovered a woman my family tree, named marianne gaspard. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. ancestry really helped me fill in a lot of details.

so before we toss it over to "morning joe" we'll bring you a check on the stories. >> president trump continues the check for his national security adviser. kel will o'donnell has more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. of course this is a long holiday weekend. the weekend set aside for presidents and donald trump is working in his florida home. and we're told by senior

officials that he expects to do more interviewing at a series of meetings this weekend in search of a new national security adviser and it's the president east hope he can make a decision within the few days but it's possible he may have additional candidates to consider. also we can tell you that the president has been having meetings related to oba0 bobama looking at how to bring together new ideas to roll out a replacement. and before the day is over the president will head back to washington and this week it is expected he will have a new version of his seven country travel ban, one that takes into account the core challenges that have put that on hold for now. so it will be another busy week for the president when he gets back to washington. >> all right. thanks to kelly o'donnell for that report. meanwhile thousands are expected to take part in a series of not my president's day rallies. scheduled in a dozen cities.

a special honor for john f. kennedy, the forever stamp featuring the 35th commander in chief will go on display and available for that is extraordinary! that does it for us on this monday. "morning joe" starts right now. thomas jefferson, andrew jackson, and abraham lincoln, and many of our greatest presidents fought with the media and called them out oftentimes on their lies. when the media lies to people, i will never, ever, let them get away with it. i will do whatever i can that they don't get away with it. thomas jefferson said nothing can be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth,
