that is his daughter ivanka as well.nstrations planned from some who feel it is not appropriate at this time. and during a moment of electioneering really with those mid—term elections coming up very $0011 mid—term elections coming up very soon next week. president trump decided he did want to go to pay his own respects to the 11 people who of course were killed while worshipping ina course were killed while worshipping in a synagogue in pittsburgh at the weekend. we will have more later on when he arrives in pittsburgh. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. another frost on the way for many tonight and that means where we have had cloud and some rain on the east coast, that will pull away, the skies were clear and the temperature will drop for a colder night than last night. in some parts of the west, there will be some cloud and rain moving in. western scotland, cumbria, the west wales and perhaps the far south—west of england. temperatures at their lowest point in the night. as we start tomorrow, m

ivanka as well. he has bristled in the past when asked questions that she deemed too personal to be asked, but she main shanes she should be taken seriously. you can't have it both ways. you are right that jared kushner is facing this moment of having to be in the spotlight for an issue that is very, very serious. >> that was one other thing he said that i was struck by. he was asked how does he respond to critics on a couple of issues. he said he only responds to critics who he respects. that's not how government works. >> the president can set it up any way he wants, but when the crown prince calls your son-in-law who is not part of the security network, you can't distance yourself for that. i want to come back to his portfolio in a minute. listen to this. we are in a mid-term and we go into 2020. the president is talking about 2020 a lot. listen to jared kushner's take as a politician. >> i wouldn't get against trump. he's a black swan and has been all of his life. i see in politics and business,

and lavishing praise upon ivanka as well. take me through this possible line of succession from nikki haley to dina powell should that come to pass. >> sure, well, dina powell is also one of these rare people in the president's orbit who, like ambassador haley, managed to leave this white house, you know, not just unscathed, but almost efven elevated. that's incredibly rare. both of these women left as of now, at least it seems, on their own terms, on their own timetable, without a cloud of rumor hanging over them. they were not fired by tweet. they were not pushed out. and dina powell certainly stayed in the white house's good graces and it does sort of speak to a truism of trump world which is that, you know, you can always leave, but you can possibly maybe come back if you haven't become an enormous source in one of these books or slam the president publicly. and it's worth keeping in meein the president has a very small group of people who he knew before he came into politics and who he really trusts. so if you are able t

protests under way right now in pittsburgh as president trump and the first lady, as well as jared and ivankaer are in pittsburgh to pay respects to victims of the tree of life synagogue massacre. the visit is notable for all of the public officials who declined to be with the president or who criticized his ongoing attacks on immigrants, among other issues. let's bring in our analyst and talk about this. susan hennessey, what do you think about the reaction we're eyewitnessing in pittsburgh right now? a lot of people have gathered on the streets. they're not happy the president and first lady are there. >> i think it does speak to their remarkable divisiveness of this moment. it's up to the congregants and families of the victims whether or not they want to meet with the president. i don't think that's a decision that should be made by politicians. whenever the president makes these kinds of con condolence visits -- and then going to a campaign rally and joking saying he was thinking of cancelling because his hair got wet. it's hard to reconcile with that person that was there to grieve with

roberts joins me from the white house. >> it was a little bit of a surprise as well that the president and first lady, ivanka, jared kushner as well as the secretary steven mnuchin went to the tree of life synagogue. we were told earlier today that he likely wouldn't go because it's still a crime scene investigators are still there. and certainly it can be very disruptive when the president comes to visit. but rabbi jeffrey meyers of the tree of life synagogue wanted to have the president there, so he is paying his respects to the 11 people who died in that horrific shooting. on saturday morning it was interesting to note that as the president's motorcade pulled up, they pulled up right in front of those 11 makeshift stars of david that had been placed out front of the tree of life to honor the 11 people who died inside. from here the president said he is going to go to a hospital. we are not sure which one at this point to visit with law enforcement officers who were wounded in that shoot-out when they responded to the shooting on saturday. they managed to keep the shooter inside the synagogue and prevented

that during the three at least he is very on presidential trump and the first lady as well as trump's daughter ivanka trump and her husband to reconsider or in pittsburgh right now. we also know that president today with the claim that he can defy the u.s. constitution and birth right citizenship what is the strategy behind this. well he clearly wants to fire up his face knowing that many of his supporters fluff his anti immigrant friends and he hopes that this strategy is going to pay off on election day but talking about this issue we have to say that it seems to be rather a political stunt and nothing more because this right was written into the constitution and it's very unlikely that could change this by only issuing an exact executive order you know that's true there was an interview with him yesterday saying that he could change the constitution by executive order which as you say alexandra now is not true or bureau chief in washington d.c. alexander phenomena as always always and thank you but here's some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world as thousands of central

as well. does ivanka fit into this picture as well. they -- separately, which is a not uncommon thing among high net worth couples as a way to keep their espns separate. >> there's nothing in the documents that we reviewed that have any direct relationship. >> you've taken a very complicated issue and made it very palatable, and pretty clear to understand. so well done on that. anything having to do with taxes is always difficult to maneuver. thank you very much for the conversation. >> sure. thanks for having me. >>> also for all of you, we want to make sure of the statement to "new york times." a spokesman for kushner's attorney, quote -- always following the advice of numerous attorneys and accountants, mr. kushner properly filed and paid all taxes due under the law and reg lakes. we have reached out for comment and have yet to hear back. >>> first off andrew brunson landed in the u.s. he's in and out left joint bay andrews, is scheduled to meet with the president in about an hour and a half. the president tweeted there was no deal

powell is said to be close to the president as well as his daughter ivanka and her husband jared kushner. while at the white house, powell focused in part on u.s. relations with israel and saudi arabia. she attended president trump's first meeting with the crown prince of saudi arabia, mohammed bin salman. nbc reports she was also involved with overseeing a $200 billion arms deal between the u.s. and saudi arabia. to talk about the significance of nikki haley step archer and the role of the united states at the united nations, we're joined now by rashid khalidi, the edward said professor of arab studies at columbia university. he's the author of several books, his most recent is titled "brokers of deceit: how the u.s. has undermined peace in the middle east." his next book, titled "the hundred-years war on palestine" will be out in may. professor, welcome back to democracy now! your first response. was this a shock to you like so many others? >> it was a surprise because she put such a nice face, and articulate face on a policy that is horrific in many respects. vis-a-vis palestine and a

he along with the first lady as well as ivanka trump and jared kushner will arrive in just a few hours. the president is expected to meet with injured officers and also victims of the synagogue shooting, but this morning, we're learning that state, local, and national leaders have declined, declined the white house invitation to appear with the president today. that includes pittsburgh's mayor and the county executive. >> and not just democrats. congressional leaders, democratic and republicans, turning down an invitation from the white house to visit pittsburgh with the prets. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, house speaker paul ryan, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, they all declined those invitations. last night, the mayor of pittsburgh said he tried to tell the white house that the city's priority right now are the families, the funerals. the first is today, not a visit from the president. >> our focus is the city. we'll be on the families and the outreach that they'll need this week and the support that they'll need to get through it. once we get past that, then i think there's

president trump will travel to pittsburgh with the first lady as well as ivanka and jared kushner. why today? he said it worked best for his schedule. he has campaign rallies every day this week. for some, it comes too soon. some say it could distract from the families of the victims. the funerals happening today. that's why the president is not accompanied by any leaders from congress. two sources said the top four leaders as well as republican senator pat toomey of pennsylvania received an invitation and all declined. they are not the only ones. either the mayor of pittsburgh and the county executive plan to be with the president while he is there. the rabbi of the tree of life has no plans to meet with the president, yet he may clear that the president is welcome whenever he likes. kaitlan collins is in pittsburgh where the president will be. what are you hearing about what the president is going to do and who he will meet with? >> it's a pretty big question mark for some officials in the white house who have been scrambling to put together a schedule for president trump when he

he along with the first lady as well as ivanka trump and jared kushner will arrive in just a few hours is expected to meet with injured officers and also victims of the synagogue shooting, but this morning, we're learning that state, local, and national leaders have declined, declined the white house invitation to appear with the president today. that includes pittsburgh's mayor and the county executive. >> and not just

>> the firstaughter ivanka trump is also going to be joining us as well as his husband jared kuner. the couple is jewish. ivanka did convert, but that's something of a tender topic. some are welcoming the president and his family while others are asking that he first condemn hate speech. the first family is due to arrive in pittsburgh close to 4:00 this afternoon. the early plan for their visit do call for a visit to that squirrel hill neighborhood that's home of that tree of life synagogue where1 peopleere shot and killed on saturday. this as the first funerals for the victims are beginning today. the president did talk more about his visit monday night in a fox news interview. >> i'm just going to pay my respects. i'm also going to the hospital to see the officers and some of the people that were so badly hurt. and i really look forward togo g. i would have done it even sooner, but i didn't want to disrupt any more than they already had disruptions. >> the white house says this visit will also express the support of the american people grievingh those in pittsburgh. the first famil

this is a neighborhood that very typically, it has 24-hour secret service detail as well as permanent barricades, ivanka trump, jared kushner also in this neighborhood, so they are used to the kind of security, but we saw that security even increased again today. the obama family is safe, jake. >> all right, suzann outside the obamas' home in washington, d.c.

ambassador really heap praise on not only ivanka but on jared kushner as well. she talked about the fact they've been so effective behind the scenes, talked about the fact that frankly they don't get enough credit for doing that, for brokering things like it is trade deal between mexico and canada -- >> yes, but does jared and ivanka -- jared and ivanka are two individuals. jared may have worked on the trade deal but ivanka didn't. >> she did specify it was jared. in terms of who's going to replace her, there's no name that's emerged to the top of the list. i can tell you president trump has said he is going to be naming a replacement within the next few weeks. he said if nikki haley wants to come back, she has her pick of job options here at the white house. so we'll have to see if that happens. this is certainly a big sea change here within the trump administration. >> she may want to come back to the white house. it just might be after to 20. we'll soon find out. kristin, thank you so much. joining me now, foreign policy expert and a visiting scholar at the c

as u.s. ambassador to the u.n. than his own daughter, ivanka trump. what do you think of that possibility? >> well, i know that obviously, as a father, he thinks very highly of his daughter. and, you know, with all respect to ivanka trump, i think that because of the demanding challenges for the united states in the world and specifically at the united nations, he really ought to go with somebody who has diplomatic experience and can hit the ground running when they go to the u.n. and i wouldn't pick somebody right now who is going to train up into the job. ask that includes his daughter, ivanka trump. >> nikki haley was a relatively outspoken at the united nations on human rights issues. is that something you would like to see from the next u.s. ambassador? >> absolutely. i think what you see going on in the world right now is a lot of authoritarian figures, whether it's erdogan in turkey, duterte and others, feel like nobody is minding the shop. feel like the united states has abdicated its role as a nation that is watching what is going on in terms of human rights. so whoever goes in there need

the press, but what i will say is that trump doesn't seem to listen to the first lady as well as his daughter, ivanka trump, as much as those family members like to say that he does. everything that we know about trump so far in his administration in his presidency is the last person in the room is who he most likely will listen to. so given that, i think that maybe american, some members of the american public want to hear more from the first lady, but i don't expect that she will be at odds that much with her husband. >> there are a lot of questions about how brett kavanaugh will flow, move into his new position as a justice, how he will be received by the justices already there. listen to justice kagan and what she said later last night about that. >> part of the court's legitimacy depends on people not seeing the court in the way that people see the rest of the governing structures of the country, in other words, people thinking of the court as not politically divided in the same way, not an extension of politics but instead somehow above the fray. >> areva, what's your reaction to what she's tal

executive with goldman sachs he said oh she would be a good choice but interestingly enough as well his daughter's name ivanka came up what about ivanka somebody called well she'd be a great choice said the president however then i'd be accused of nepotism he went on to say that c.n.n. would love the choice of a bunker trump as the ambassador to the united nations well that may be harpooned joke but certainly there are a large number of names that it appears that president trump will be going through along with the advice from his outgoing united nations ambassador nikki haley but very clearly the choice is going to be made quickly because the trumpet ministration wants to put the salt to bed before those midterm elections take place in november why can i thank you very much. norah rosen is a diplomatic correspondent for al monitor and joins us live now from washington d.c. as if she had a fair amount of clout and she in that position partly because when she started there was appeared to be a certain amount of uncertainty about foreign policy within the administration do you think that that has settled down n

as well as u-s ambassador to germany richard grenell. despite the president's suggestion that his daughter ivanka would be "dynamite" in the role...trump later tweeted that she will not replace haley. (grant) newly-confirmed supreme court justice brett kavanaugh wasting no time... as he joined the high court today for his first day on the job. the junior-most justice asked several questions about seven different occasions during his first day on the bench... justice kavanaugh was ceremonially sworn in monday night by the man he's replacing: anthony kennedy. justice kennedy was notably the court's swing vote -- kavanaugh is expected to vote consistently with the conservative bloc on key issues like immigration, abortion, gun rights and health care -- while outside, a handful of protestors persisted....exp ressing their outrage that kavanaugh has ascended to the nation's highest court after allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.

as well as the departure of u.n. ambassador, nikki haley and potential replacements, including his daughter, ivanka trump. let's talk about it with our team of experts. kaitlan collins, the president saying i think ivanka would be incredible. although noting that it would lead to accusations of nepotism, mainly because it would be nepotism. and then saying he's not sure there is anyone more competent in the world. he also did mention the former deputy national security adviser, dina powell, as somebody being considered. >> right. and with ivanka, he didn't say he wouldn't pick ivanka. he just said that would be the reaction. but he couldn't think of anyone better than her to do that job, saying that even cnn would like her there, at the end. it does sound like he's been watching the news reports about who could take that job. he kept saying, i heard ivanka, i heard ivanka. back to dina powell, someone who is pretty much viewed as a contender in this, and a pretty serious contender. she is already in new york. she has told people she believes this would be her dream job. and president trump saying there, s

as well. so was ivanka. rtant for you as an orthodox jew to see him and his family there. >> take away the word orthodox in that unites us all. those divisions are theological divisions. nothing to do with the fact that jews are not just a faith but really a family. that's really the emotion. that's what's being lost here which is what is so terrifying to me. it can't be lost. it is very important. the presence of jewish family members that close to the president of the united states, it's obviously unprecedented. the fact that people keep on repeating it. the fact that the president has jewish children, jewish grandchildren. the fact that his grandchildren are great grandchildren of holocaust survivors. i get the terrible sense that it's ratcheting up the anti-trump rhetoric more to try to demonize him as opposed to look at the obvious. is he clearly supportive of the jewish people and israel. one of evil horrible person was apparently angry about that the president is too good to jews in israel. ainsley: je

ivanka trump. we heard from white house press e as well, sarah sanders, and also the vice president. i just wanted to share this, too, because this neighborhood it's unfolding -- chelsea clinton also treated in the last hour or so "every day i am grateful to the women and the men of the united states secret service. thank you." you mentioned the corneille defect -- my phone is going off again. the coordinated effect that the fbi and all of these agencies have when working together. you mention the secret service. i wanted to hear that from chelsea clinton, as well. we're getting all sorts of alerts. as the journalist, you know -- john, we get reached out to with all sorts of information. i'm curious from the white house perspective, though -- and something like this, since we have already heard from three members, are we going to see something more coordinated from the president? you and i have talked about that opioid event today, but might we expect something else? >> again, i think the president will probably wait until we see them in person to make remarks about this. i have been
