anderson cooper has her story for "60 minutes." >> the polls say you can't win. >> translator: yes.d that brexit wasn't going to happen. that donald trump wasn't going to be elected. wasn't even going to be his party's nominee. well, they're saying that less and less now. they are much more cautious, much more cautious now. >> reporter: the nationalist policies marie le pen embraces are gaining supporters throughout france and around the world. she's hostile to free trade, rejects open borders, and says globalization, promoted for decades by france's political elites, is destroying her country. so how do you explain what is happening? did leaders go too far? >> translator: yes, yes, of course they've dwogone too far. globalization has become an idealology with no restraints. now nations are forces themselves back into the debate. nations with borders we control. the people that we listen to with real economies, not wall street economies. but rather factories and farmers. and this goes against unregulated globalization, a wild, savage ob >> yes, savage, of course. wild globalization

in fact, they quote donald trump in an interview with anderson cooper where cooper says look at, is this the west anise lam? not radical islam. he says i can't sort it out. you've got to read the opinion to understand the historical context is very important in when a federal district court or a federal appeals court makes a decision. that's exactly what has happened in every case so far. >> so richard, you believe this second one is enforceable. if that is the case, what happens to the first executive order that is caught up in court? would it dismiss it immediately or would it still be on going and the trump administration would have to answer it if indeed what you believe is the second one is enforceable and will make it through the appellate process. >> watching this administration is a challenge and listening to them day to day, kings had change from day to day. if there are true legal minds directing the white house at this time and if this travel ban is enforceable, then should dismiss and withdraw the first one and shouldn't proceed with nap the other day the president gets up in

a former adviser spoke with anderson cooper last night and said in his case, any contact with the russianassador was incidental. >> speak to the russian ambassador for more than ten seconds. >> never more than, again, i don't want to talk specifics, but i can assure you, i've never spoken with the ambassador more than ten seconds. yeah, that's a safe statement. >> i want to bring back a a cnn national security analyst who's joining us on the phone. historian professor, julian. good to see you. and here, hopefully steve as well. while the president making accusations of his pred seecess still in the forefront is this growing web. involving people on trump's campaign or continuing to be in the white house. who have had meetings in the past. with the russian ambassador, you're looking at the faces of them, including the son-in-law, who's a key adviser, a senior advisder now and then michael fn lost his job over not disclosing enough about this meeting with the russian ambassador. this investigation is continuing to widen. is it going to continue to be a distraction for this trump white house

listen to what he told our anderson cooper when asked about whether in his reporting was indicating that surveillance of trump tower. >> if we do that, that would be a fantastic story. i would not be here with you, i would be at home writing it or reporting it. we have said that these communications were russians talking to each other about trump associates. we know there were intercepts with the russian ambassador who was on the phone with michael flynn the former national security advisor. flynn was picked up as he was talking to the russian ambassador who is under surveillance. but this is all routine work by intelligence agencies and the fbi. this isn't that they especially put the trump campaign under surveillance. we have no evidence that that happened. >> can we just put that "new york times" report to rest, jeffrey? >> i'm listening to the reporter, he confirmed exactly what his story said and what i'm saying, that the fbi was leading this investigation, and they came across trump associates and they were investigating them. i didn't say trump tower, i said trump associates that

here's anderson cooper to explain how you can nominate the hero in your life. >> ready to rock?yes! >> bring it in, girl. >> yeah! >> every year, cnn heroes honors everyday people doing extraordinary work to change lives. >> i'm so proud of you. >> we crossed globes to tell the stories of these amazing heroes. but we can't do it without you. we need you to tell us who you think should be a cnn hero. >> look at that, it's fantastic. >> you can nominate someone in just a few simple steps go to cnnheroes.com and fill in the form to tell us about your hero. it's that easy. you can help make your hero a cnn hero. and shine some light on their amazing work. >> well saturday night live is back with a brand-new episode tonight. and comedy fans will be watching to see if alec baldwin returns as president donald trump. the actor says when he was first approached for the part, he didn't hate trump, he just wasn't interested. how did it all come together? here's jeannie moos. >> it's the impression -- >> i deeply apologize. >> that's left an impression on the american psyche. if you think a

talking about what leigh martinez just mentioned, trump telling anderson cooper about his personal thoughts, this is last year before he even became president.>> i'm not surprised, challenging this was more difficult than challenging the previous version, the previous version had religious discrimination within it to the words of the order. the new order made a few changes removing the explicit language and also creating a provision that allows them to exempt certain people from the ban. the white house try to rely on the provisions to say this is a new thing it is not as discriminatory the hawaii court and maryland court did not buy it and as you say they are using language by trump and language from rudolph giuliani to show that it is essentially the same anti-muslim thing. >> they are trying to answer the word of intent right?>> exactly, for them to succeed the challenge says this is religious discrimination they have to prove there is a religious discrimination intent behind the ruling. >> now that he has said these things and his advisers said these things there is no way to unring the

. >> comments like that and also comments made in interview to my colleague anderson cooper. widely criticized at the time. did the strategy backfire. >> i need to set the record stating. he's talking about this administration standing up and keeping people safe. when you look at mandate that the president won by this year, clearly ran on, discussed heavily on the campaign trail. what is interesting from the ruling that we saw, statement put out by judge watson, wasn't taking issue with the legal terms of the executive order. really sounded like auditioning for nanny state speech police rhetoric. really sounded like someone very bitter that democrats lost on november 8th, didn't seem to be speaking to what this is attachment administratiat all. administration feels good they fixed bill, tailored it to go by and released ahead and for the night before, looks political on its face. >> regardless, this time it seems like president and advisers held accountable for their words mark. >> we often talk there's campaigning and governing. anybody running for president has a tough tran

and in esquire, the piece in details and anderson cooper had been a segment, an hour long documentary and a pitch or story, to the kids out there, that is what they would say. and what they produced was solely about the sensational side of the life focusing on violence. and you come across as an honest guy, the project. he would be willing to answer any question, he was hoping to do something meaningful. and long lists of questions and bart and i had a relationship and an enthusiastic about the project and stopped responding each the relationship between gabriel and i continued. his letters have other people, surfacing meteor reports in the prison system come out of the texas prison system, the federal system, when the country, one of them was in north carolina, another in florida and louisiana. started to come to laredo, texas. and anyone would see me. the homicide detective, there was a gigantic law enforcement complex with a lot of people, people in dea, all levels of law enforcement, the local district attorney, there were a lot of people who knew about the cartel, law enforcement

those words when he said to anderson cooper i think islam hates us.d many more coming back to haunt him in these rulings. >> they have been cited by the judges. we have also seen recent interview from trump aids cited by the judges. he was on the interview circuit a few sunday mornings back. trump praised miller but it's been millers words used in the court briefs. >> legally this is going to get sticky because this is an extension of legislative intent but a counter argument is going to be so if this executive order is going to be written by obama that's okay so legally it's going to be something but is there a message in the messaging strategy of saying anything and it's okay all is forgiven with trump? is this a lesson and sometimes the words can come back. >> it is. he stays in campaign mode the whole time. now the words do matter. the words are being followed and they have impact. i don't know that he can control it though. you don't see him modifying himself very much. certainly the trump tower thing is an indication that got him in trouble. thi

anderson cooper spoke to planned parenthood president earlier. >> i know paul ryan said we're being defundedt we don't have a line item in this budget. what he's saying in this legislation is that the millions of folks who count on us now for preventive health care, birth control, cancer screenings at planned parenthood, would no longer be able to come to planned parenthood, and we wouldn't be reimbursed for that care. it's also important to understand from this legislation and remind folks that abortion services are not paid for by the federal government. so what they would be blocking women from getting from planned parenthood is the services that help prevent unintended pregnancy in the first place, which is birth control, which is our specialty. >> have you gotten any assurances from moderate republicans who plight might bed to planned parenthood's funding being tied to this bill? have they told you they would try to oppose it in its current form? >> absolutely. moderate republicans all across the country, and even traditional conservative republicans who believe that the government shou

>> last night in a sitdown interview with anderson cooper house minority leader nancy pelosi was asked what if it turns out there is no concrete conclusion in this investigation? pelosi said it's not damaging at all because she says democrats know there's plenty of connection but there's still the question of criminal violation. she also didn't mince words when asked what she thought of president trump's first two months in office. >> ineffective, they have accomplished nothing. [ indiscernible ] deflector in chief deflected from the fact that he hasn't produced a jobs bill hasn't produced an infrastructure bill has accomplished nothing. and he just has to deflect by coming up with bans on certain religions coming into the united states and deflects to the president of the united states wiretapping. >> president trump is expected to take his first foreign trip in may. he will travel to brussels for a nato meeting where white house press secretary sean spicer says the president is going to, quote, reaffirm the u.s.' strong commitment to nato. during his campaign, mr. trump accused nato

carter page has gone out exclusively to your colleague chris hayes and anderson cooper and done terrible interviews. and trump revealed in the "new york times" just goes nuts when carter page is on television. he's been very, very quiet in other ways, carter page. he goes on tv and he talks about this stuff. carter page is in my mind probably going to be the one to do the most talking. manafort is too smart to do anything stupid in this realm. >> david corn, if somebody was monitored in trump tower, the guy on the 34th floor is paul manafort. who is the weak link. >> you don't want to speculate. i want to be fair, even to these people. i will say what we know publicly, paul manafort is you find investigation for cypress issues, ukranian corruption. and if the ap story is true, it seems he didn't register as a foreign agent and he should have. all the people we know out there that we know of, he seems to have at this point in time the most legal liabilities, this which might make him the voes have you looked. i'm sure he has millions saved away. >> malcolm, you have roger stone volunteeri

reporter on with anderson cooper, said nothing said anything to what you're using or others. >> also guardian, heat streak. >> those articles don't say what they said but sorry. andre. go on. >> that was jack. >> no you. i wanted you to jump in on that. >> crickets. >> i got the floor. >> now crickets. now's your chance or move on to jen psaki. >> first thing i would say, we fwhoe there was fisa warrant given in october but more than that don, i watch a lot of cnn and i think the average person watching tv, no matter what channel, almost like they can't tell you difference between iraq and iran. there's so much information there. did russia hack? haven't seen prove, continue to hear for months and trump tower, did it have surveillance, think people confused with what the real truth is, so much information overload and all waiting to see when the other shoe is going to drop. >> who is responsible for that confusion? do you think you are for trying to make sense of something that doesn't make sense, defending indefensible. do you think maybe you and other people should say maybe the pr

there was an interview on anderson cooper several weeks ago with the head of the imfrags and naturalization services. basically said we're already doing the types of screenings they are pretending to want to do with the ban. this is all against muslims, period. >> let's talk about the breaking news that we're learning, u.s. attorney, former now, former u.s. attorney preet bharara said he was fired after he declined to resign after it was requested by the justice department. how do you see this replacement of u.s. attorneys in a different light than perhaps past administrations, is this being handled differently than what we've seen in the past? >> all presidents come in and look if it's an object sit party. switch over and they ask u.s. attorneys to resign, so they can replace them with people they're more familiar with. so there's really nothing new there. what's interesting about mr. bharara, is that the president, as far as we understand, asked him to stay on. so what's curious here is what's changed an why did the president offer essentially to extend him and then take it back? other th

cnn's anderson cooper said he submitted president trump on twitter, let's look at more of the liberalsident on twitter, don't tell them. >> you can do that? >> when you get annoying people tweeting you don't want to delete because that tells them you've deleted them, so if you just need them, they think you're still following them and you don't actually see their tweets. if i just don't want to have that drama in my life. >> that drama, you have to accept that he's president. >> of course i do, i have great respect for the president. i just don't need to follow him on twitter. >> sean: there is your fire, balance, unbiased journalist, maybe they should stop pretending and be who they are, radical lacy leftist activists on tv. national syndicated radio talk show host who is laughing and former white house process. ari fleischer, is not fair and balanced or are they opinionated with mark poor mika, somebody get her a stiff drink or a pent, help her out >> as a former pres secretary, my job is to deal with all reporters. let me also add, republicans always have to work twice as hard as d

right after the trump speech, anderson cooper replayed the applause that congress had given a navy s.e.a.l. widow. as she stood up, some people dismissed it as cynical. my dad was in the military. that moment moved me. it moved a lot of people. i said this. >> he became president of the united states in that moment. period. there are a lot of people who have a lot of reason to be frustrated with him and to be fearful of him and to be mad at him. that was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in american politics. he went back to being coo coo for cocoa puffs crazy. i could move on, but i want to talk about this. in case it's not clear, i still oppose trump and i'm afraid of trump. when i said he was presidential, that was a warning. i saw him as a serious threat from one. everybody was laughing at me and i was begging people to listen to me. this guy is as serious as a heart attack. i thought he was a threat then and now. today. by now i think you know something about me. i'm an emotional guy. i'm an emotional guy. i am. i cried more on cnn than anybody else times 50. i'

here's what he had to say earlier to anderson cooper. >> not just a media game.nobody really cares that it's a failure of trump or a failure of ryan. what the american people are asking is how does it happen. that we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people as right. and i'm talking to you tonight 50 miles away from the canadian border. we can get there in an hour. they manage to provide health care for ever man, woman and child in their country and at half the cost of person than we do. the cost of drugs significantly lower than in the united states. so the question is why are we not moving forward with a medicare for all, single payor program guaranteeing health care for all people which would be more cost gekt i have effectivee currently have. >> the bill likely would have suffered a lopsided defeat. many moderate republicans stood strong in opposition to it in defiance ever tof the white hou. take a listen to congressman mike turner speaking to kate boldu bolduan. >> it certainly is a process that is worthy much continuin

john berman here in for anderson cooper.d trump associates during and after the campaign. one after the other after the other. just weeks ago, president trump flatly proclaimed he had nothing to do with russia and no person he deals with does. well, his attorney general did. today, he recused himself from any campaign investigation because of it. tonight, we are learning other advisers did, too, during the republican convention. cnn's jim acosta has that. he joins us from the white house. what are you learning? >> reporter: that's right, john. we understand from talking to a former natna

the reporter was on with anderson cooper.thing in there said to what you're using and other people are using and sean spicer -- >> it was "the guardian," heat stre"heat stree street", and others and he talked about that today. >> those articles don't say what they said. andre, i'm sorry, go on. >> that was jack. >> no, you. >> you -- >> i wanted you to jump in on that. >> crickets. >> i've got the floor now, great. >> now crickets. now is your chance. before we move on to jen. >> first thing i would say we know there was a fisa warrant given in october. but more than that, don, and i watch a lot of cnn, and i think the average person that's watching tv, no matter what channel they're watching they can't tell you the difference between iran and iran. was it hacked, was there surveillance, i think people are confused to what the real truth is because they've had so much information overload and we're all waiting to see when the other shoe is going to drop. >> who is responsible for that confusion? do you think that maybe you're

tonight -- anderson cooper, musician and actress reba mcentire, the westminster dogs, featuring the 8g meyers. this is "late night." how's everybody doing tonight? [ cheers and applause ] that's fantastic. in that case, let's get to the news. vice president mike pence today cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm controversial education secretary nominee, betsy devos. and if you don't know what that means, you're probably betsy devos.

so, when you have a guy like carter page, interviewed by anderson cooper last night, admitting that he ran into the russian ambassador at the convention, that's essentially a noncontroversial action. in the context of what's going on and because it wasn't disclosed and because the trump administration is defensive and evasive about it, it makes it look very suspicious and feeds into this narrative that the trump administration is concealing more contacts with the russians. and it fuels calls for further investigation. >> right. it does seem to do all of that. i'm glad you brought it up because, eugene, what do you make of carter page's explanation that he was, quote, an informal, unpaid adviser. does it matter? >> well, it doesn't matter to people who are very concerned about his involvement with the campaign and his relationship with russia. one of the challenges, i think, page is facing is that he initially seemed to hype up the role of his involvement in the campaign when it was convenient. now that it seems to be causing some concern, he's way a bit. what i think most americans who
