that will do it for me. a lot to do today, ali. >> a busy one. just in the last hour, developments in the investigation into that terror attack in london as police continue to make raids and arrests. for the first time, we're getting a look at two of the men behind the assault. police identified them and released these two photos a short time ago. plus a new chapter this afternoon in the one sided feud between london's mayor and

president trump. last hour, sarah huckabee sanders tried to explain why the president called the mayor out on twitter. >> i have to be honest, since saturday night, my focus has been working closely with the police, with the government to do with the horrific attack on saturd saturday, time to respond to the tweets from the president of the united states. >> that's why it is a one sided feud. kristinweller is standing by at the white house. let's start with you, matt. what's the latest? >> as you just mentioned, we have the names of two of the three perpetrators. again, all three were killed just behind me right here b borough market in downtown london.

khuram shazad butt is a british national and the other is rachid redouane and has given his identity as moroccan or libyan. police are trying to pin that down and they're trying to find the identity of this third attacker. they don't know that yet. both the two men were identified are from barking in east london. as you'll remember, we were talking about this. that's where the police have been knocking down doors and conducting raids and 12 people have been arrested there. two of them have since been released. this is about to be a nationwide manhunt. we'll see a lot more raids. these two suspects and the naming of them, they're creating not just a national nightmare for all of britain but a political nightmare for theresa may, the prime minister. one of these guys, the first one, mr. butt, he was known to police. so of the three attacks happened in britain over the last three

months, all three attackers all have connections to the police. they were suspected of possibly harboring radical sentiment so that's a lot for theresa may. she came out earlier and said she was suspending her campaign ahead of the election on thursday for one day. today the campaigning has picked up again. she said we need to re-evaluate how we deal with extremism. some say she was hole secretary for six years before she was prime minister. so any of the law enforcement arrangementes in britain were of her own and she has only herself to blame. the head of the labor party has taken direct aim at theresa may.

she called this election a snap election to create a better position for her ahead of brexit negotiations. now it is all about terrorism and security. >> i want to take us back in time. the president tweeted this weekend, at least seven dead and 48 wounded and the mayor of london says there is no reason to be alarmed. he was referring to a statement by the mayor of london that i want to play for you. >> just like terrorists are constantly evolving, finding new ways to disrupt us, harm us, attack us, the police are finding new ways to keep us safe. londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. no reason to be alarmed. >> he was specifically referring to an increased police presence in london being alarmed. not saying one shouldn't be

alarmed because of terrorism. that question came up at the briefing in the white house. >> the white house on defense, defending the president's response to that tweet from the mayor of london. the president, we typically see him try to strike a very strong stance in the wake of a terror attack so this weekend was no different. he was criticized for taking the mayor's comments out of context. sarah huckabee sanders was pressed on that today. >> the president directly misrepresented what the mayor of london said. >> i don't think that's true. i think the media wants to spin it that way. >> he was saying there is to reason to be tikd a city? do you think that's what he was saying? >> i think that the point is there is a reason to be alarmed. we have constant attacks going. on not just there but across the globe and we have to start putting national security and global security at an all time

high. >> so the administration is standing by the president's tweets. and using it as a way to press the president's agenda. of course, he is calling for this travel ban but also extreme vetting to try to crack down on would be terrorists. no doubt this will continue to be a source of debate for this president, for this administration, as his tweets come under increased skroot notice what is a very busy week. remember, he was talking about infrastructure earlier today. the white house wants to be focused on his agenda. and yet dwenl, they're playing defense over some of his tweets. >> what happens in that room when something like that happens? when a reporter will asks something everybody knows was a tweet that was misrepresented by the president and then you get an answer that sarah sanders huckabee said they want to spin it that way. >> i think that's why you see so many follow-ups. you see follow-up.

that's why there were so questions centered around this and there might be more in the coming days and weeks. whether it is sarah or sean spicer trying the pin them down on what the president's intentions are. >> at least today they didn't bother not saying it was ban. they used the word travel ban. great reporting from london. you and i spent late saturday together reporting on. this we'll come back to you as well. let's take a broader look at the terrorism side of things. i want to bring in the former fbi agent for counter terrorism, the author of anatomy of terror. this really spells out how we came to be in the situation that we're in today. the information that you got the so far, that you've heard, one of the two attackers who have been identified was known to police. we knew this in manchester. we knew this in the westminster

bridge. what do you make of this in. >> it is just an indication how overwhelmed intelligence services in europe and the united kingdom are. you have more than 3,000 individuals that they are monitoring and it is impossible to monitor all these people the way you should. >> we've heard it takes 20 plus law enforcement official to deal with one person. >> and you have 24 hours and electronic surveillance and people monitoring the wires and analyzing and translating. it takes an army of people to monitor. i mean, honestly, probably 20 to 24 individuals to monitor one person. so it's impossible to monitor all these individuals. and at the same time, we have a situation where we collect almost everything. so we have an amazing hindsight machine. so after something happens, oh, yeah, we knew about this guy or he has been on the radar of

intelligence services. in the uk you have more than 800 people who went to the conflict zones in iraq and syria. 20% or more went back. then you have the regular suspect that's they have been monitoring for a while because they are involved in jihadist and terrorist activities. so the balance between them will. >> we hear leaders saying, we heard theresa may saying we'll have to rout out extremist. what does that translate to for people like you on the ground with the fbi? or the cia? what does that mean? >> well, i think theresa may did something good by putting four points. now we're not talking about, yeah, we want to eradicate them. how do you do it? so first, terrorists have sanctuaries. operational sanctuaries and now we see it in syria, we see in it

some places in iraq, we see in it libya, somalia, yemen. these things, you and i talked about at length. it is basically mention in the many different chapters in my book. you sblook these things. but also there are ideological sanctuaries. they need to be come batted. they come from countries considered to be allies. a few years ago when the prince was in charge of the security in counterterrorism in saudi arabia, he did a great job in drowning these voices but now it seems they are coming back and creating a threat that goes all the gray southeast asia to the middle east to africa, to london, to europe, to the united states. >> we need to counter this. and i think theresa may talked about countering it. and then we have to countter narrative that is political.

>> then requires an element of something we are never prepared to engage in when these attacks happened. an element of empathy. not sympathy. but understanding how normal people, the guy from manchester was a business student. how did he end up strapping something to his body and blowing himself up? if we don't really ever understand this, we're not going to solve it. >> you're spot. on there are political incubators. we cannot put our head in the sand and say there is no theological incubator feeding this. when you have people in some middle eastern countries, you know, saying directly or indirectly can be used by isis and al qaeda to brainwash people to do exactly -- >> but they believe they are following islam and if they do, good things are happen. >> and they are true believers the what they believe he islam warned them to do.

you count per by having a very difficult discussion with our friends, and especially our friends in saudi arabia, to be honest. a lot of the narrative, a lot of the ideology, coming from there. and i hope the prince will be back to at least take charge of the the counterterrorism efforts and do the magic did he before in countering the spread of this narrative. >> do you think there is any validity to thinking, we spent a lot of time thinking about al qaeda and isis and then they take credit for these things. it's not clear what the operational relationship is between these guys in london and isis' head office that has taken responsibility. how should we be thinking about it? >> i don't think we should think about organizations. they don't matter. we have to think about the ideology. it is the ideology of bin laden. it is bin ladenism. it is the interpretation, the

new interpretation of islam regardless if it comes from al qaeda or isis. remember, isis used to be a branch of al qaeda. so let's focus on the ideology. let's not drown ourselves in the issue of organizations. it doesn't matter if isis was behind the particular fatwa. >> right. they were willing and able to carry it out. >> and people are listening to this ideological and political argument and carrying on these attacks in behalf of terrorist groups. >> people will ask me who you are. he is the author of two good books. the first book, black banners, between two of them, i've learned more with terrorism from you than anyone else. >> thank you. always a pleasure. thank you. i want to bring in the foreign policy and security analyst. related thing going on. a number of our allies in the middle east got themselves into

a spat overnight. i want to put tim ma'am and show our viewers. this centers around qatar. it is a little blip around sad sad and that's often how saudi arabia thinks of it. that they should be able to determine their foreign policy. so qatar has done something that has upset all the neighbors around them and they've all broken off will relationships. saudi arabia, bahrain, yemen, and egypt, which normally doesn't fall into that category. they're not letting they will fly over their air space. >> i think this is not just a skirlish or a fight between friends. this is the equivalent of a diplomatic nuclear bomb that went off last night. we've seen in the past, saudi arabia, where i lived almost two year i 201 and 2011, we've

seen they have pulled out their bassador from qatar. we saw it again in 2014, there was a sxrip the ambassadors were pulled out. this time it is. more significant. not only have they pulled out their ambassadors. they've completely shuttered their embassies and more important, they've stopped all air travel in and out of qatar. so qatari commits are in the five states have to leave within two weeks. any citizens, any to get out in two weeks and really significantly, the border, there is only one land border between qatar. that's with saudi. their food gets through that border. >> i don't know had a the number is but we may have 100,000 trumans in qatar. that's the forward operating base. >> i think qatar was very successful getting the u.s. to have a base there.

i think they understood that. that will be the point of contention for the united states. we clearly just had the president in saudi arabia, he had a very big show there. and saudi arabia is throwing gauntlet down this. they're accused of supporting isis, al qaeda, but really the muslim brotherhood is what is getting all of these states -- >> which qatar does have relations with. no question. they have relations with them and with hamas. and that's been known for a long time. >> a lot of the stuff is not new. what has particularly gotten tumd skin the of gulf states is that al jazeera which qatar owns has very, they would consider damaging and bad news coverage for them that's very critical of the states. egyptians would blame al jazeera for part of the uprising that i saw myself when i was living in the region in 2011.

this has been brewing for a long time, this is equivalent of a diplomatic nuclear bomb. this won't be resolved any time soon and they'll say we're going after them to enable terrorism, especially isis, and that's what they'll pledge. >> some would argue that's a rich accusation with where it's coming from. in the past these have blown over. when al jazeera started it, saudis didn't like it. it blew over. qatar established diplomatic relations with the israelis and the same thing, it blew over. some are saying this is more serious. >> it seems more serious when you're saying the citizens have two weeks the get out. qatar airways, i've flown a million times thargs shutting down their land border. remember, qatar is hosting the world cup in 2022, i believe it is. i think they have the olympics coming there as well. all the food they're importing. everything goes through that

land border in saudi arabia. so toouts weergs in a little pickball what we're going to do about our military base. my prediction is that you'll see the saudis, especially probably the emirates. i don't see that happening. this is a power play here. saudi is telling qatar, get a line or you're completely cut off and they've chosen completely cut off. >> thank you for joining us. coming up next, the president's $1 trillion overhaul. and is it or isn't it? president trump may be calling his executive order on immigration a travel ban. bundle he have one in the west wing is on the same page. and kellyanne conway's husband takes a swipe at her boss. -when? -friday. we gotta go.

the supreme court is decide go whether it should take up president trump's travel ban. donald trump might have just made it a whole lot harder for the justice department to make his case. he sent several tweets including three this morning all referring to the travel ban. over the weekend he tweeted about the ban in the wake of london terror attack and today he called out the department of justice and said the new travel ban is watered down and wants them to expedite the supreme court hearing. one of the biggest issues is whether or not it discriminates against muslims.

the white house has tried its best to not call it a travel ban despite the president's own words in the past. >> i don't think the president cares what you call it. a ban or a restriction. he cares that we call it national security and we take steps to protect the people of this country. it is real sim. mr. everybody wants to get into the labels and the semantics of it but he is trying fregt citizens of this country. the danger is extremely clear. the law is very clear and the need for this executive order is very clear and the president's priority and protecting the people is very clear. full stop. >> it's not a travel plan. >> i want to go back to the issue of this travel ban. >> first of all, it is not a travel ban. >> this is not a travel ban. this is a pause that allows to us better review the existing refugee and visa vetting system. >> when we use words like travel ban, that misrepresents what it is. this was president trump's tweet yesterday. with a one-week notice -- he

says it is a ban. >> he is using the words the media is using. hold on, hold on. >> kristin welker asked that question back then is back with us. the white house, again, saying the media created this whole idea. but it was the white house's words. this came up again today, obviously. >> reporter: that's right. the president was very clear. this is a travel ban. that was part of his tweet storm that you just referenced. and the problem, the challenge for the president politically but more important legally, is that all of his tweets could be used as a part of the argument. and one of the key issues is, is this travel ban aimed at discriminating against muslims. and the administration has argued rgs it is not. and yet the president himself saying that the new version of the travel ban is the politically correct version. so all of this could be used. one of the interesting developments today, and twists to this, is that the husband of

kellyanne conway, one of the president's top advisers, weighed in. let me read you one of his tweets. his first one reads these tweets may make some people feel better but they won't help osg get five votes in scotus which is what actually matters. sad. he did have some tweets following. perhaps he got some back lash. he said to be clear and in response to inquiries, i still very, very strongly support potus, his executive order and of course my wonderful wife. every sensible lawyer in whco and every political pointee would agree with me, the point cannot be stressed enough that tweets on legal matters seriously undermine administration agenda and potus and those who support him, as i do, need to reinforce that point and not be shy about it.

some outside counsel. he was being eyed as potentially coming into the administration, working at the justice department. that looks like it is not going to happen. and yet he is being very vocal about the fact the president could be undermining his own agenda with these tweets. >> and kellyanne conway on the "today" show derided this obsession with covering everything says on twitter which is where he mostly talks to us. good to see you. coming up, the president's big plan to fix crumbling roads and bridges and his move to privatize the air traffic control system.

when donald trump was running for president, he laid out an infrastructure plan. a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan and he started to tell us what it looks like today. the president announced his proposal to privatize and modern ties u.s. air traffic control system. >> our new plan will dramatically improve america's air traffic control system by turning it over to a self-financing nonprofit organization. this new entity will not need tax payer money which is very

when people hear that. they don't hear that too often. under this new plan, the federal aviation administration will focus firmly on what it does best. safety. >> all right. i want to bring in hallie jackson in on this. we've learned that he will travel to ohio to bring in more of his infrastructure plan. as an economics guy, i don't like things called self-financing because there's no such thing. the point is removing infrastructure, removing air traffic control from the public tax bill and figuring out different and more creative ways to finance it. >> reporter: exactly. via the private sector and that's what you saw folks talking about. in the east room of the white house. the president as you noted rolled out what they're calling infrastructure week. the series of, let's call them principles. while the president did sign some documents, that wasn't a bill. nothing is being handed over to

congress as a package. this is a rollout of the president's priorities. and the principles that he wants to be pushing when it comes to infrastructure. so let's get that part of it clear. what today was about is essentially taking what members of congress have been pushing when it comes to the air traffic control system and making that part of president's agenda when it comes to air traffic control. one of the driving influences behind. this you saw if you were listening carefully, the president joke with who gets the first opponent this when he was signing those documents. let me share a little bit about what congressman shuster had to say. there's been some back lash from democrats. you is a y asked him to respond. he says this is not a real plan. how do you respond? >> it is very much a real plan. 60 countries around the world have done this already. our neighbors to the north,

canada, have been doing it 20 years. they have the most advanced technology in the world. they're as equally safe flying in their air space, the send largest air space in the world. this is a real plan. this is just, senator schumer, this is a new way of thinking. people in europe and around the world. >> this has a lot of republican support marks jort leader kevin mccarthy was in the room. senator cruz was there for the rollout of the plan. it is not a done deal in congress. it is not sealed in any way. and you mentioned the president's trip to ohio to talk about inland waterways. you will see every day this week the president trying to focus a specific element of infrastructure and part of it is to gear up on the policy side. particularly after a couple weeks. since the president has been, as we've seen throughout this administration, dogged by questions about russia, jim comey. all of it as jim comey testifies on thursday.

another major component to this week as well. >> well, the media can walk and chew gum at the same time. we can be in ohio covering the president and cover jim comey. we can do it all. thank you very much. our chief white house correspondent. i want to bring in robert crandall. you may remember his name. he was the former cia of american airlines. robert, are you there? >> i'll here. >> you like the idea and you pointed to kaecanada as well. in 1999 you said we need to look no further to canada to see the benefits of privatized air traffic control. tell my viewers who don't know what the benefits are. what they are in your opinion. >> well, in the first place we ought to make clear. this is not privatization. this is changing from the faa which is supported by a combination of taxes, different kinds of taxes, all tax supported. into a nonprofit, a user funded

system. so the people who fly the planes, the airlines, and the major private jets, people who fly private jets and charters and so forth, they will pay for the air traffic control system by paying fees. so it is a fee-based system. the faa will continue to be in charge of safety. and they will supervise the what is called an air navigation service provider, who will run the air space system which will be supported by user fees. 55 countries around the world have already done this. canada did it many years ago. the strems universally more efficient than our own and there are two benefits. number one is supported by the users of the system who also sit on the board, and therefore can

influence how that system is managed. and second, it can sell bonds because it is a self-sufficient enterprise, it can sell bonds and therefore, it can fund itself 10 or 15 years into the future and buy the right kind of equipment. >> the airlines were supporting it. when you were head of american, they're supporting it. what is in it for the airlines? why do they care in. >> the airlines suffer all the delays and inefficiencies that are caused by an air traffic control system that is hopelessly out of date. you carry in your pocket and i carry in my pocket a satellite based directional system. today, the air traffic control system operated in the united states, still relies on radar. it is based on 1945 technology as opposed to 2017 technology. for somebody to say this is not a plan is simply utter nonsense.

we've been on this since al gore first brought the idea in the clinton presidency. and the plan that shuster has laid out in his legislation is essentially a company of what has been done in 55 other countries. this is a plan. it is a plan that will provide better, safer, cheaper service for the united states. it is badly needed. >> good to talk to you. thank you for joining us. robert crandall is a former cia of american airlines. it's official. montenegro is part of nato. if you know nothing about it, allow me to remind you of this. ten days ago when our president shoved past montenegro's prime minister to get into position for a photo op and a nato summit in brussels. speaking of nato, trump caught his own national security team by surprise when he failed to state his commitment to nato central principle article 5

was with megyn kelly. >> do you have something damaging on our president? >> translator: well, this is just another load of nonsense. where would we get this information from? do we have some special relationship with him? we didn't have any relationship at all. there was a time when he used to come to moscow but i never met with him. >> i'm joined by politico correspondent michael crowley. anything in that interview that surprised you other than the dismissive tone toward the media that we've gotten used to in the united states? >> not really. and that tone wasn't surprising either. that's classic vladimir putin. who actually, in russia, rarely has to account for ordeal with tough media questions. so to see him sit down and take hard questions, i guess, that in and of itself is kind of unusual. but in classic putin fashion, he doesn't give any ground. the thing strikes me with the

interview is the way he revels in all the attention. what vladimir putin has wanted since he became president of russia is for russia to regauge respect that he felt russia had lost on the world stage. he must love being at the center of attention and having all of america fascinated by what he says. what will russia do next? that is putin winning in his own view. >> we have heard some reporting that some key members of the president's inner circle, including the secretary of state tillerson and general mattis and general mcmaster all tried to get donald trump at the nato meeting to reaffirm support for article 5 which said that an attack on one country is an attack on all countries. ironically, the united states is the only one that ever need that had when nato affirmed its support for that. now we know wasn't just that donald trump wasn't mentioning it.

he was deliberately avoiding saying it. >> yes, ma'am, there was a prepared affection had him aif i recalling his commitment to article 5 and he did not proceed passage. i was there in brussels after trump was there. i spoke with officials at nato headquarters. there was definite surprise and concern and some alarm over this. what we have right now, and this illustrates it very nicely, this strange dynamic where the key foreign policy officials around trump at high levels like mattis, tillerson, mcmaster, they're pretty conventional in their views. the foreign establishment policy per se. not so different from the kind of policies you have under hillary clinton or jeb bush. then the president they report to as his own very different views. and they tried to steer him. he goes his own way and this is a dramatic example of that. >> good to hear your analysis. thank you. coming up, outrage in d.c.

this is not seeing symbols of hate that are very deep in the african-american community is something that we denounce in our city and we want to send to that we don't take it lightly, we're investigating these incidents fully, and they actually may have seen something that will lead us to the people who are doing this. >> secretary, no messages were left, nothing -- there's nothing other than these nooses, not that that's not a strong message in and of itself, but you have no information at the smithsonian yet of the motivation or who might be this behind this is. >> that's true, ali. the investigation goes on as the major sayor said so eloquently y the park police. as you said, ali, there's a very strong message, a message of hate, of depravity, and a message of threatening and we can't stand for this. these are institutions. the martin luther king memorial which was affected by one, the

nation, that we have locked arms and spoke up loudly and strongly and immediately against these types of acts. my government, for example, our residents, are working with my mayor's office of religious affairs and our office of human rights. we have one of the most robust human rights laws in the nation. so we have this -- classes of crime that would be considered hate crimes. we investigate. we enforce and we punish people who violate our law. >> david, though, you got to find somebody first. you at the museum are in the business of creating dialogue, of creating understanding, as you said, so things like this are anathema to what you do. what can you do about this? >> well, the first thing we did was to contact the park police and they're doing a very professional job at the investigation. but i would say the most important thing for the smithsonian to do and all cultural institutions is to do more of what we do so well.

and that is to offer information, to offer understanding and to try bring people together to unction things better all around. >> mayor bowser, there's something else going on in washington, d.c., it's unrelated to this, but there are signs that are purported to be by the immigration service warning people that they better, what, report others? >> exactly. so, last week, we saw some fake signs in several neighborhoods across the city, and they were pretty professional looking signs. they were posted to trees and lamp posts. >> yeah, we're looking at pictures of them. they look official. >> yes. they say they're from i.c.e., the immigration service. the federal service. and they also have a fake d.c. logo on them. and what they say is that they're trying to scare residents of the district and -- and tell them that there are going to be immigration raids in their neighborhood. so what we said clearly to our residents, these are fake, they

didn't come from d.c. government and did not come from the federal government and i.c.e. issued a statement saying the same. so, i advised our residents to tear those signs down, get them off our trees, off our lamp posts. i sent our public works officials out as well and we think we have them all down, but it's just a reminder to us to be vigilant. these levels of fear and anxiety aren't fair for any person to live with. our city protects our residents and our human rights law. >> i like having you both on th this is the topic we'd be discussing. what interesting times we live in. mayor bowser, thank you for being with us. secretary skortskorton, thank withdrew for being on the show. >> my pleasure. >> next time we'll have you on, we'll be talking about cheerier things. >> that would be great, amen zblchl. up next, powerful words from london's muslim mayor in the wake of the weekend's deadly terror attack. rumor confirmed. they're playing. -what? -we gotta go.

the london attackers have is not just perverted islam, and attempted to impose that perverted interpretation of the faith on others, they've not just harmed those whom they physically attack, or whom they terrorize, they cast shadows of suspicion and shame and sometimes blame on muslims everywhere. when something like this happens, muslims confront the same shock, horror and outrage as the rest of society. it's in this climate that so many call upon so-called

moderate muslims to spook oeak . most muslims are moderate and practice a faith in its very tenets looks like christianity or usi judaism. the atrocity committed by strangers who killed others in the name of islam. as many times as i have had to do this, it never feels normal. as i was anchoring a bright boo breitbart reported tweeted there would be no deadly terror attacks in the uk if muslims didn't live there. that reporter was subsequently fired but said her work told the truth about islam and muslim immigration. the savagery we saw in london and seen all too regularly is hard for anyone to comprehend, but it's uniquely difficult for muslims who are proud and active participants in civil society. here's what london's muslim mayor, sadiq khan, had to say about it. >> i'm angry and furious that these three men are seeking to justify their actions by using the faith that i belong to

justify their actions. >> i, too, am angry and furious as are so many muslims around the world. while no one asked me to say it, i will, these culprits are not acting in the name of any faith of which i'm a member. thank you for watching. "deadline white house with nicolle wallace" starts right now. hi, everyone, it's 4:00. if you're alarmed by what you saw from president trump on twitter over the last 24 hours, then buckle up. the white house today doubling down on the president's harsh words and misrepresentation of the language used by the london mayor in the hours after terrorist attacks on his city. and the white house comes full circle on the travel ban saying it is, indeed, a ban. and despite the fact that its only legal road blocks, the president maintains it's necessary for our national security. >> look, i don't think the president cares what you call it, whether you call it a ban, whether you call it a restriction. he cares that we call it
