Trump was sworn in. Contradicted those made by Vice President mike pence. They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States decision to expose diplomats. What report is that. A senior official telling cnn. He has no plans to be resign. North korea firing a Ballistic Missile into the sea of japan. As he met with shinzo abe. Both leaders addressing the launch late saturday night. The United States of america stands behind japan, its great ally, 100 . Meantime the Trump Administration is weighing its options on the extended travel ban which includes writing a new executive order. We can take our case on bond to the next circuit. We can continue the appeal with the panel or return to the District Court and have a trial on the merit. All options are on the table. As fears grow after hundreds of people in 11 states were arrested last week. This as a white house advisor reignites a Conspiracy Theory about voter fraud that has been dedunked without any evidence. Thats the story we should be talking about and im prepared to go on any show, anywhere, any time and repeat it and say the president of the United States is correct 100 . Today the president meets here at the white house with the canadian Prime Minister along the topics of discussion, nafta, the north American Free trade agreement. Lets discuss for you. We have cnn political analyst David Gregory and cnn political analyst and reporter for the new york times, alex burns. For all the intrigue surrounding Michael Flynn theres a simple question that will get you to the root of it. We know that the communications between flynn and the russians were being monitored. Its multiply sourced. Theres lots of communications. They say they have them. Its an answer to whether or not he was discussing sanctions with russia and how . Do you think well see that . Well find out whether or not the president thinks were going to see it. The question here is not just whats in the transcripts and a assume the president has already seen it. He and his top advisors were making a decision. He said he didnt know what report people were asking him about. What report . I havent seen it. The president has the best Information Network in the entire world. So i assume hes going to find out. If he doesnt know right now hell find out a minute from now and make a decision. Thats what is going to tell the story. Also can get folded into and into other important issues like taxes. It does get some what into this larger question of what went on with regard to the election. What connections do they have to trump, financial and otherwise and how does this all fit into it . It is an important piece of a much larger puzzle. And if we want to make sure that we dont see any of this until the full puzzle is known it may be awhile. Interesting to try to determine what is President Trumps breaking point with some of his staff to whom he is loyal. The logan act is an obscure law rarely used. Why would this be the breaking point . Well, for a couple of reasons. This young aid out on the sunday programs yesterday couldnt have been more imfattic by what he didnt say when he was called on to defend kellyanne conway. Just so people know how he deflected let me play this and then you can make your point. Does the president still have confidence in his National Security advisor. Thats a question you should ask the president. The question you should ask the chief of staff. Im here as a policy advisor and my question is the policy questions that you have. The white house did not give you anything to say other than that. Its not for me to tell you what is in the president s mind. Thats a president for the president. Whats so interesting is this is a crowd that doesnt like to do washington as usual. By him i mean general flynn so theyre not defending him. Theyre obviously talking about what they want to do with him. The Vice President by setting him out there to Say Something that wasnt true and im sure the president wasnt loyal to flynn. You have other aspects too and its lead by miller thats at work and you have a sense that youre not very unsure what he is doing and tweets this language about foreign affairs. Lets put up what they wrote about this. Three weeks into the Trump Administration council and Staff Members get up in the morning and read trumps tweets and struggle to make policy fit them. Some staff have turned to encrypted communications to talk to their colleagues after hearing mr. Trumps top advisors are considering a Threat Program that could result in monitoring cell phones and emails or leaks. What do you make of that in terms of what the daily reality is there versus past administration . We have seen things like this in past administration. Not quite the National Security council like this but you do get to a point where an administration is in a burnger mentality and deeply paranoid about leaks. It just usually doesnt happen three weeks after. The president trusts very, very few people. He is surrounded by people that trust very, very few people and detached and alienated from the Civil Service and i end up being such a key man on a situation like this. Its the president s conduit de may be a difficult person for trump to get of all the pressure in his administration and without. On the world stage obviously President Trump was at a dinner with Prime Minister abe when he got word that north korea launched a test missile. Well, now what. Now we see he could make a quick statement and say we stand behind japan 100 . This is where a lot of his statements over the course of the campaign now come together and where he suggested on the campaign trail maybe south korea should have nuclear weapons, ill be so tough on north korea. Now you have a bad man in north korea that calls his buff. Theres no defense doctrine there. Theres no Foreign Policy team in place. Were not sure how this interacts with a complicated relationship with china that candidate trump also talked about. They have influence over North Carolina north korea. Its also as if there was a pop quiz and we have a student that really wasnt ready for it. You have the un Security Council. You have its members there including the u. S. Asking for an emergency meeting. Isnt that the right call . Its actually a case of deliberate restraint on the part of the administration. Good moves all around. And i thought creating a joint response. Theres no question that north korea has come up and have a coordinated response. Its not an easy question. This is a medium term missile and not quite as proactive. And underscores the importance of a National Security advisor. This person coordinates all the information and how it gets to the president and who the president is listening to and i think that becomes an important question in the Administration Given steve bannon and steve miller and all of whom have some perview over foreign affairs. Stick around if you would. The white house once again renewing false claims of widespread voter fraud in the president ial election. Why do the president and his senior advisors keep talking about this but not presenting any evidence . Our panel takes that up next. Dont pay hundreds more for taxes and fees on your wireless bill. Introducing tmobile one. Now with taxes and fees included. Get 4 lines of unlimited lte data for 40 bucks each. All unlimited. All in switch to tmobile today. Oh, its actually. S your sfx short balloon squeal its ver. Sfx balloon squeals ok can we. Sfx balloon squeals im being so serious right now. I really want to know how your coffee is. Its. Sfx balloon squeals hahahaha, i had a 2nd balloon goodbye oof, that milk in your coffee was messing with you, wasnt it . Yeah. Happens to more people than you think. Try lactaid, its real milk, without that annoying lactose. Mmm. Good right . Yeah. Lactaid. Its the milk that doesnt mess with you. The president s senior policy advisor Steven Miller claims that thousands of voters would bust in from massachusetts to New Hampshire. I can tell you this issue of busing voters in to New Hampshire is widely known. Its very reel. Its very serious. This morning on this show is not the venue for me to layout all the evidence but voter fraud is a serious problem in this country. Lets discuss this and much more with our panel. Alex, i have heard that urban myth. I used to cover New Hampshire. I was a reporter in boston and there were all of these stories for voters being bussed across state lines, liberal voters from massachusetts coming into New Hampshire but theres never been any evidence except for what the former attorney general of New Hampshire, a republican, just tweeted out recently in which he said let me be as unequivocal as possible. Theyre baseless and without any merit its shameful to spread this. So the people in charge that would be monitoring things like that have never seen the evidence. Why is the white house continuing to beat this drum . I saw the former New HampshireRepublican Party chairman to proof that only one person crossing the border illegally. Theres a couple of things going on here. First the imperative on behalf of the white house staff to cater to the boss. Steven miller knows that donald trump is watching him on the shows and doesnt want to see him backing away at all any statement that the president has made. Heres what he has done is he goes over on a limb and never comes back. The second part of this which is more concerning to democrats and moderate republicans is the prospect that the white house is laying the ground work for the way the elections are run in the country. You have seen this in New Hampshire. I was talking to the state Senate Majority leader saying theyre planning to pass new restrictions on who can vote in elections and what kind of procedure do you have to go through. It is a Conspiracy Theory. It is an urban myth out there. It creates an environment where that crack down is maybe a little bit more possible. He didnt want to come on and test this proposition. Its because it works. You do have a mess and the government doesnt run the elections. And you have long registrations. You have every problem that was mentioned. Its about the degree of the outcome. Nobody can show that theres fraud and theres lots of sloppiness and this works for them. Its exactly where were going to end up which is a lot of discussion and these false accusations float around in the air and that gives different county commissioners and secretary of states, state legislatures all they need. Everybody knows theres voter fraud so lets do around with early voting. Lets restrict access to the ballot and make it almost impossible to get registered and stay on the ballot and so forth. When you have it done at the county level obviously you have thousands of voter systems that are out there and it provides a layer of security and volunteers and mixed systems and provides a level of security we would be so quick to dismiss. Lets talk about Something Else that happened last week and got a lot of attention over the weekend and that is the sweep of undocumented people here. Theres a feeling from democrats that hes stepping it up. These widespread raids is what his Campaign Promise was and then theres the white house of saying no the raids are not stepped up however President Trump does tweet the crack down on illegal criminals is the keeping of my Campaign Promise. Others are being removed. We have coming up in the program the husband of a woman who is none of those things. She is a mother of two. She was brought here as a child. She was deported from arizona to mexico. So what is going on . Well, you have an order thats increasingly going to become controversial based on who is kicked out of the country. If there are removal orders that have not been enforced before its going to depend on who they are. I dont think americans are going to object if you have criminals in the country that have been deported and are still allowed to be here. Felons, violent people, there will be consensus around that. When you start getting into the business of children of Illegal Immigrants and others that are more sympathetic thats going to hit people differently and were in the early stages of that so the information we get about who is being deported and the profiles of the people i think are really going to move the politics of this because theres no question that they want to make a tough stand on immigration. Theres the early reporting on it that this is actually the rates they have been doing and some called more than this latest sweep in effect. This is absolutely what were used to seeing. Usually the white house makes up these facts and then they say we wanted this. This time its actually happening. Theyre just owning the status quo. I think the key term that david used was orders being enforced that werent enforced before and that that would be a big political story and policy story. Its not clear thats what were dealing with here, right . I was talking to a fairly prominent democratic immigration advocate saying look theres going to be a lot of things that happen under the Trump Administration that were already happening and scan in a different way and disturb people in a new way because its the Trump Administration. It doesnt mean its new and different. The woman who is their case study with illegal voting and she is doing 8 years in jail and then she has though the been undocumented. She is a legal president here. But she eventually checked the box saying she was a citizen. That was the crime. But she was registered gop and voted for romney she says so it blew out of the water there, David Gregory, oh, this is the test case. This is the illegal voter weve been telling you about. We should connect this to before. Steven miller was on the rampage with unverified claims of voter fraud and one of his jabs is you have all of the undocumented immigrants voting on our election. Lets put the Bigger Picture here that the whois is painting. He talked about Illegal Immigrants and voter fraud and talked about in defense of the executive order this is a fight between people that want secure borders for our country and those that want no borders at all. Thats what theyre doing is saying all of these people dont want any borders at all. One last note, the kansas secretary of state also made this his cause. He talked about it a lot. He has charged nine people. So that is the widespread voter fraud. He charged nine people and i believe that the majority of them, the majority are republicans. And making his case. Were still trying. Thank you so much. Nearly 200,000 people in Northern California were told to evacuate and for good reason. There was a hole. I mean, thats putting it lightly discovered in the nations largest dam. The threat for the towns downstream, next. The concern is a 30 foot fall of water that could develop. Well give you the details. vo maybe it was here, when you hit 300,000 miles. Or here, when you walked away without a scratch. Maybe it was all the times it got you safely out there. Or all the times it got you out of there. Maybe it was the day your baby came home. Or maybe the day you realized your baby was not a baby anymore. Every subaru is built to earn your trust.

We are expecting those winds to increase. 55 Miles Per Hour later this afternoon. Thats going to be the trouble. All yesterday afternoon overnight this big, wet, heavy snow fell and it is weighing down on the branches and the power line thats when were going to see power outages. As far as snowfall its basically wrapping up from portions of massachusetts. Well see maybe another inch or two here in boston. When you factor in the winds this afternoon its going to get nasty. Also to the north around portland thats where the worst of it is going to be. They could see a foot of snowfall today. So blizzardlike conditions for hours. Were also going to see flight disrupted all across new england. Allison is going to be treacherous today. Thank you for the warning. Stay warm.

Youre going to see the meeting of the un Security Council and test lined another Ballistic Missile over the weekend and travelled 300 miles before crashing into the sea of japan. What will President Trump do . Is he going to work alone or work with others . What are the factors . We already have the first part of the answer. President trump did a joint press conference with abe of japan. They are meeting at the time and theres word of this un Security Council meeting that will be there tonight. That seems to be the normal way this will be responded to. What are you hearing . They are equally concerned about north korea they will go to this un Security Council meeting and they also heard from the russians saying they are against this missile test by north korea. So you can see an alignment of forces here that perhaps can help President Trump win his argument or strengthen his position, the United States position in the un Security Council but china and russia are looking for things in the United States right now. China wants the one china policy to be recognized by the United States. Theyre also saying that they see the dispute and north koreas missile testing as something between the United States and north korea. North korea and south korea. So while they have a large amount of trade with north korea and could have a significant influence its quite clear that theyre going to be looking for china from the United States before they would cert that kind of pressure. Thats behind the scenes and also russia waiting for so many answers on so many issues from the United States. Yes theyll help but what is the price. What do they want. You have china, russia, the u. S. , france, all in the same room. Lets bounce to the russian situation. The word of the krelim is mum. With the white house we do know that the communications are being monitor so there are transcripts of what took place between the russian counter part and mike flynn before the administration took place. How big of a deal do you think this could become . Well, i think this is going to become a very big deal chris and seems to be growing by the day. Over the weekend we saw the white house apparently on the sunday shows almost seek to distance themselves from National Security advisor Michael Flynn. The rejection or denial of any discussion of sanctions between flynn and the russian ambassadors i would see that as a form of denial but you can be sure that every single phone call that takes place on a landline from a Russian Embassy around the world is russians working for the fsb or internal Security Services so theres a record there of what conversations will take and its probably never going to see the light of day. Its whether Michael Flynn was telegraphing future u. S. Policy or indicating that the sanctions might be lifted before President Trump was sworn in in office. Were seeing it now getting into a political issue. Clearly its been embarrassing to the white house. Particularly to Vice President mike pence that went out on a limb and defended flynn and stood by him and vouched for his denial and to see Michael Flynn roll that back and say i thought i didnt talk about sanctions but now im not sure if i can remember whether or not we had the conversations about sanctions. That reflects badly on the entire White House Administration and i do think chris on all of these international Foreign Policy issues we are seeing an effort and whether thats the effort of secretary tillerson or mattis were seeing an effort to adopt a more pragmatic and more professional and president ial tone, chris. Whenever somebody steps back from it didnt happen to i dont recollect its such a turn. So next we have the canadian Prime Minister coming to town on a political background there. Some what wellknown and stands in opposition and a lot of trumps policies but decided to get along. Theres more of an increased pressure on the northern border because of the concerns about the southern border. What are we looking at for this meeting today. It is a meeting as you said. And whatever their background. When you talk about as President Trump has raised the issue of ending or reopening the trade agreement, this does have canadians worried. It worries the farmers there. So much of the sort of farming industry. Some of it happens across the border. You have cattle for example that the canadian Cattle Crossing into the United States during the winter and back into canada to be exported and then reexported and back into the United States. So you have the farming industry in canada. Worried that their interests may be sacrificed the border agreements and while they have differences and certainly philosophically. The last big event on this week is the upcoming meeting with benjamin netanyahu. The israeli leader when he comes to the United States, the white house looking for good headlines at this point after a couple of rough weeks. Can they expect some out of that meeting . Its interesting. This is another area, chris, where we have seen the real shift to a more pragmatic tone when donald trump took the oath of office. It seemed they announced they were building 6,000 more homes in various settlements in a space of two weeks they announced they were going to build an entirely new settlement. Thats the first time they had done that in nearly 20 years but then we saw something of a shift. President trump came forward and said hold on a second. We dont think its very helpful toward peace efforts to continue building those settlements. That may sound soft but its more in line with the rhetoric that we heard from the obama administration. He also appears to be dialing back on a promise to move the embassy to jerusalem. And potentially this does give Prime Minister netanyahu that he is the only one that can navigate the waters in terms of negotiating.

A 12yearold was shot in the head saturday night as she played on a School Playground and then less than a half hour later 11yearold was also shot in the head while she sat in the back of her parents mini van. Both girls are in critical condition. Police say the gunman is in custody. Officials in louisville kentucky say the number of heroin overdoses doubled in the past week. 52 calls in a 32 hour period. Thats not new. That city dealt with nearly 700 overdoses in january. The mayor is responding hiring 150 officers all while working with several federal agencies. They say the antidote isnt working. Wasnt working as well new batches coming. A spike in overdoses. People testing the product. Its real. The problem can dominate a family. So the grammys were last night. The 59th annual grammys. I stayed up for part of it. The biggest stars took the stage and there were a few political statements made. Some clothing that was worn. I just want to thank president agent orange for all the evil you have been giving throughout the United States. No hate. She just said no hate. Here to discuss, cnn media analyst bill carter. Great to see you. So bill, the most political grammys in a long time or just par for the course. They usually have some message and everybody expected this because the industry doesnt like the president. It was not over the top. I thought it would be everybody saying something but they didnt. It wasnt overwhelming. The show had other problems. There was a lot of technical problems. Adele had a melt down. She swore on the air and they this to bleep it but then she sang well and won the big award. Buster rhymes was there and used the words agent orange. Its a real return to a politically charged urban hymn which the tribe was famous for in the 90s. What impact can it, you see him singing the lead of that song. What impact can the music have above and beyond whatever politically charged statement is said at a show. Theyre not only the ones. Kendrick lamar, beyonce, many other performers expressed political messages in the past years and what we saw was a lot like lady gaga performing at the super bowl. Trying to be above the current political fray. We saw katy perry in front of the constitution. We saw a make America Great again dress. But for the most part though people mostly staying above the fray. There you go. Very interesting. Lets talk about saturday night live. And nordstroms decided to stop selling. These are high quality products. Im wearing one of her bangles right now. Its beautiful and shimmering and elegant and 39. 99. Its unbelievably affordable. Okay . Dont get me started on her shoes because these babies are real head turners. Thats her real leg that she hoisted. That wasnt a prosthetic. She gets points for being limber. Absolutely. What do you think is going on with snl . Theyre on a role. They came back with that bit. They opened the show with it. The only thing is they repeated a little bit. There wasnt a surprise. It was very funny but didnt have the element of surprise. They held the trump bit until very late in the show. I think they didnt want to sledge hammer the politics too much. Didnt want to sledge hammer the politics. The show is mostly politics. Now this is the first skit they have done that unless youre just trump follow people are questioning whether or not it went too far or was in good taste. Kellyanne conway and a couple of movies were layered in there. Whats your take. I do think its maybe going to get blow back because people are going to say its too much. A crazed killer with a knife. Also we heard that i heard the fatal attraction thing but thats not what she relies upon, her feminine wiles. Theres other ways to parody her power. That made the skit funnier and certainly not as harsh. They did talk yesterday after that sketch in real life. Theres this idea that by having the feminine characters playing these men it gets under trumps skin and i wonder how much snl is doing that on purpose. Although they are also wildly powerful women so i dont know how it undermines him. The family court skit, what did you think about that . I found the circuit judge it was very clever and ill see you in court so the Peoples Court and i did i loved the judges line about id like to have at least one week where theres not a c one day. That was not so much the punch line. No, the real thing. For this show, snl is really speaking at this point to half the country. I think this show now is speaking for half the country and rating well because of it. Its reaching more than 10 Million People a week. Some of the highest ratings in years but because its speaking to a niche. The half of the country that is anxious about a trump presidency. If he had that conversation and lied about it he needs to go. The message were sending to the world is strength and solidarity. The United States of america stands behind japan. The real answer to curtailing north korea is china. Voter fraud is a serious problem. Theres not evidence. Its a lie. The president of the United States is correct 100 . The Supreme Court is our last refuge against the president that overreaches. Were going to
