Building a wall between the u. S. And mexico. And building a relationship with russia. We talk with Reince Priebus and with john mccain. We hear from the first muslim member of the house, keith ellison. We will have plenty of political analysis, its all ahead on face the nation. Dickerson good morning, welcome to face the nation im john dickerson. Airports were flooded with protesters yesterday. After visa and green card holders from the seven predominantly muslim countries named in President Trumps immigration ban were denied entry. Some incoming passengers were held for hours. Late last night a federal judge issued a stay of deportations for immigrants in the country or in transit. Around the allies including the united kingdom, france and germany condemned the action. Iran and iraq have threatened resip owe cal actions against the United States. We begin with the chief of staff, Reince Priebus. Good morning mr. Priebus. I want to start with the message this sends this. Is the first move donald trump has taken with international reaction. Is this americas first message . Absolutely. Yesterday, what people need to understand is 325,000 foreign travelers came into the United States. About 109 of those people were detained for further questioning. They came from the identified seven countries that the Obama Administration and both houses of congress have identified as countrth terrorists. They were asked questions. The vast majority of the people were released. A couple dozen people remained for further questioning. My suspicion is those people will move on as long as theyre not dangerous and perhaps a couple of them will be further detained because its determined theyre dangerous for this country. This was a promise that president elect President Trump made. Its a promise he will keep. Hes not willing to be wrong on this subject. We need to do our best to be vigilant and protect americans. Dickerson there was another 170 or so stopped before getting on planes. Hats right. Dickerson let me ask you about green card holders. There is confusion about those with lawful permanent residence in the United States. Our understanding is they will get extra scrutiny if they come in the seven count, correct . The executive order itself is not placing further burdens on people with green cards. The reality, this is where people get confused, a customs and Border Control agent has a wide discretion in asking questions and making sure the person coming in is not dangerous to americans. What im trying to explain , if youre a person with a green card for whatever reason from yemen. Youre coming back and forth from yemen to jfk. Its reasonable to expect a few more questions for you, wondering why you come back and forth from yemen. Maybe its no big deal. It does mean that, that person traveling back and forth from one of those countries will get a a few more questions. Dickerson let me ask you this. The director from the white house is a case by case basis the border c that. Its not their discretion only but theyre encouraged by the white house. And the muslim ban, the president says its not one and christians will be prioritized. Did you check with other muslim countries to anticipate the backlash from this. Hang own a second. The order says persecuted muslims have priority as well. Thats a piece thats getting totally however you want to call it. Misreported or not fully reported. It is not only christians but persecuted muslims as well this. Is not a muslim ban. This is identifying seven countries. The reason we chose the seven countries, those were the seven countries that the congress and Obama Administration identified as the seven countries most identifiable with dangerous terrorism taking place in their country. You can point to other countries with similar problems like pakistan and others. Perhaps we need to take it further. For now mediate steps, pulling the bandaid off is to do further vetting for people traveling in and out of the countries. 80 issue, john. Dickerson let me to get, when President Trump was interviewed by the christian broadcasting network. The question was asked, do you see christians with a priority here. The president said yes. Back to my central question, did you touch base with the secretary of state. Any of the embassies in countries affected or would react to this or to the ambassadors of those countries . Any outreach. Listen, there was plenty of outreach that went on between the state department and the department of home land security. We didnt just type this up in the office in the white house and sign it there has been weeks of work goi a lot of communication has happened. The other thing is, this were not advertising to the world that were going to put a stop or at least a further vetting on travel in and out of our country from these seven places. Some people suggested, john, maybe we should of given everyone a 3day warning. That means terrorists would move up travel plans by throw days. Identifying people in these countries and giving them a heads up in these countries would only potentially flag dickerson i understand. What i havent heard you say, yes we reached out to let them know. This is why i ask, secretary of defense, james mattis, asked about the muslim ban. This is what the secretary of defense said back then. He said, they think we have completely lost it. This is causing us great damage now. It is sending shockwaves through the international system. That is about soin trump said in the campaign. It touches on the reaction of this executive order. Thats the world out there now. As we see a new president in act i go here. What efforts has he or anyone else taken particularly to deal with what is called a muslim ban overseas. Thats just a reality of how things are. What action is being taken . Today for example the president has a call with leadership in saudi arabia and united air emrits. The truth is we have to protect americans first. These are countries that hasher and train terrorists. We want to know who is coming and going out of these countries. Were be willing to be wrong on this subject. President trump is not willing to take chances on this subject. He was elected president in many respects because people knew he would be tough on immigration from countries that harbor terrorists. I cant imagine too many people out there watching this now, think its unreasonable to ask a few more questions for those traveling in and out of libya and yemen before being let loose in the United States. Thats all this is. Dickerson the question is doesnt seem like the administration did anything to soften the blow of something it believes strongly in. There is no reason to soften the blow. You need to pull the bandaid off john and protect the country from another san bernadino. That was a person with a valid k1 sraoes a a spousal visa, came into the country committed a horrific crime dickerson the president was a u. S. Citizen. She was on a k1, spousal sraoes afplt. Dickerson from one of the seven countries. Listen maybe youre the countries. Dickerson is that coming . Like the two people in kentucky planning an attack in kentucky. President obama suspended that program. Dickerson in 2011. In 2011. The point is valid visas are great. It doesnt mean you shouldnt be subjected to further questioning. Dickerson sure. How about diplomacy on russia. The president talked to vladimir putin. Did conversation about russian efforts metaling in the last election. I wont get into the contents line by line, john, for a secure call in the oval office. It was a positive call. It was a call where president putin and President Trump talked to Work Together, number one to eradicate ice is and terrorism. To Work Together to resolve problems around the world including syria. There wasnt anything not it was an initial call. More of a congradulatory call. It was exactly as the read out said it was yesterday. In the end people should be encouraged by the fact were starting off on a descent footing with leaders around the world including president putin. Dickerson that means so sanctions were discussed either. Let me ask you a question about the border wall. There was confusion how it might be paid for. There was talk about a 20 import tax. The response to that from the left and right, that would essentially pass the cost onto american consumers. Can you straighten that out for us . Yes i can straighten that out. There is no final conclusion how the wall will be paid for by the mexican government. It can either be through a tax on goods coming through the border, a tax and formula on import and export taxes credits. It could be on drug cartels. It could be on people coming here illegally and paying fines. It could be all of the above. There is a buffet of options we have in order to pay for the wall. We need to pay for the wall. We will build the wall. It will get done. So, were at the beginning stages of this process. We have been in office for about seven or eight days. We have done an incredible amount. Think one thing the people can say about President Trump, hes following through on his promises. I dont think people should be surprised hes doing it. I am kind of surprised that people are surprised hes actually conducting himself the way he said he would. Being a nan of action and protecting americans. Dickerson he has done a lot. People are trying to figure out what it all means and get it straight. Mr. Priebus, we appreciate being with us. Thyo dickerson joining us now in studio is senator john mccain. What is your reaction to President Trumps travel ban . It is a confused process which the good news is its only got to do with a pause. The bad news is obviously this process and conclusions were not vetted. There are so many questions, for example it didnt filter down to our customs people who can come in, who cant. Is a green card hold eras originally interpreted legally in this country, can that person be bard from coming into the country. I talked with general petrius last night hes concerned about the special sraoess for the interpreters whose lives are in danger as we speak. What about the iraqi pilots training now in tucson, arizona, learning to fly the f16. So, there is so much confusion out there. Published reports are that the department of home land security or the Justice Department or others were consulted about this before this decision was made. Finally one thing, iraq iran. Right now we have several thousand americans fighting in iraq against ice is along side iraqi men and women. The battle has taken an enormous toll on the iraqi military. Is iraq the same an eye ran is, of course not. Its a very confusing process. Im glad its a pause. For us, we have to understand the ramifications of this kind of action. Dickerson let me ask you about the international ramifications. Reince priebus, t staff, says this is a big signal in what America First means. How do you think the rest of the world interprets this as a sign what had donald trump wants to do with his presidency . I think you saw the reaction of the Prime Minister of england who had a successful visit here and the european nations. Thats another thing that should of been done, of course. To alert our friends and allies what we were doing. Because we expect them to cooperate because people are leaving from these various places, particularly in europe. So, i think the affect will probably in some areas give ice is more propaganda. Im very concerned about our affect on the iraq hes right now. The dominant influence in iraq today is not the United States of america. Its iran. So, what w parliament do . If were talking about the fight against extremists and isis, there is a battle going on as we speak. We certainly dont need an impediment in driving isis out. Dickerson let me switch to russia. Chief of staff praoeb i couldns americans should be encouraged by the hour long phone call. Were you encouraged. I think phone calls are fine. We have to understand what putin is. He has used precision weapons to bomb hospitals in lepo. That use to qualify as a war crime. His ambitions of destabilizing very nations is very clear. Not to mention the attempt to affect america eas i believe that peace through strength is the answer. Im glad that President Trump has committed to rebuilding our military. Thats one of our first priorities if were going to deal on a equal basis with vladimir putin. Dickerson is there a signal that President Trump should send, the u. S. Military should send, the u. S. Government should send to russia . Donald trump is there another sign. Give defensive waebz to the ukrainians. Weapons to the ukraines. At the our baltic friends there will be a permanent american presence in the countries. Give some credit to the obama saadmin. Sthraeugs began there. It has to be a clear support. Then we have to propaganda, against the ball ticks particularly. Dickerson the question of water boarding. Although the president supports torture the secretary of defense says no. Will he trust him. Is the issue done for you . I hope and pray its done. I appreciate the generals comment and general mattis comment of what it does to the people who commit the torture. This is an aspect we havent examined as much as we should. Dickerson more broadly do you find hope in that. You have differences in President Trump. He says i have given the secretary of defense the power to over rule me. Do you see that more broadly as a positive sign for President Trump . I think the National Security team around President Trump is very impressive. I dont think you could ask for a better one. General kelly, general the ones theyre bringing onto their team. I am worried about the National Security council, who are the members of it and the permanent members. The appointment of mr. Banon is a radical departure of any Security Council in history. Remember carl rove when he sat in on one and axelrod. Look the roll of the chairman of the joint chief of staffs has been did diminished with this reorganization. One person indispensable is the joint chief of staffs, in my view. Stkeufplt than dickerson thae to leave it there. Dickerson we turn now to keith he will i go son who joins us from minneapolis. Defenders would say af jimmy carter asked students to reports to immigration offices. During the Obama Administration they paused the iraqi refugee processing. What donald trump is doing here is maybe bigger but keeping with what previous president s have done. You know what, we never have had a religious based ban before. This is a muslim ban, they cant deny it. On the campaign trail he said he wanted a muslim ban. He said on National Television there would be other religious groups receiving priority. This is a muslim ban. Rudy guiliani who helped him write it said they started with a muslim ban and then languaged it up to avoid that label. It is a religiously based ban which is something that our constitution says Congress Shall make no law establishing a religion there of. This is a violation of equal protection. Its a religiously based ban. They can ban muslims why cant they ban mormons why. Not move into ethnic groups. Dickerson they have named countries already named on lists by the Obama Administration. If it was a muslim ban why not ban pakistan, turkey, egypt. None of those countries are affected . According to Reince Priebus theyre working on it thats what i heard him tell you. They may add more. The fact is terrorism, a horrible surge on the planet, comes from all kinds of places. Somewhere the majority of the population is muslim some not. It even comes from within our country. The fact is we could not make a religious based distinction. We have to go ba evidence that we find that people are actually engaged in. Let me tell you. When you ban refugees these folks go through an 1824 month vetting as it is. The fact is, you talk about banning syrians about throw quarters of those folks are women and children. A full third are kids under 12 years old. Children, syrian children dickerson let me ask you dieing in war. He said those children have no place of refuge in america. I find that unamerican. Dickerson youre running to be the head of the Democratic National committee. Right. Dickerson you will be in these debates with President Trump. The Antidefamation League look at comments i made in 2010, they say theyre discalling for you to be head of the dnc. Whats your response to that . The comments were about usa muslim countries. Let me tell you this. The fact is wanting to talk about a muslim ban. Not clip tapes and smears that the right wing is shooting at me. The fact is this morning the president of the United States has issued executive orders to try to punish cities giving help to those undocumented. Their Police Forces working on be half of the people of that city. He has issued a religiously based ban. He has dickerson congress man, we have to leave it there, im afraid. Thank you, sir. Dickerson sorry, were out of time. Thank you, congressman. We will be back in a moment. I wanted to know where i did my ancestrydna. The most shocking result was that im 26 native american. I had no idea. Its opened up a whole new world for me. Were killed in the operation. We will be right back. Dickerson we will be right back with more face the nation including our political panel. Stay with us. Bp gives its offshore teams 24 7 support from onshore experts, so we have extra sets of eyes on our wells every day. Because safety is never being satisfied. And always working t bo beetter. And with the billion pointme giveaway, because safety is never being satisfied. Its about to get more awesome. To claim your share of ali bilon shop your way points during the big game, download the shop your way or kmart app today dickerson welcome back to face the nation. Im john dickerson. Joining us for political analysis, molly ball covering politics for the atlantic. Peter baker who has been on assignment in israel. Jamelle buoy. And radio host hue hue mit who has a new book out. Welcome to all of you. Peter, i want to start with you. You have covered a lot of white houses. Give me your assessment of the roll out of this ban, and how its been received. Obviously it hasnt been rolled out with great efficiency. People dont know what to make it of. The whraoeut house says one thing. Dhs says another. That maybe what wants. He may want to create, you know a sense of sense of tkraeupl a and action. It looks like hes doing a big thing. They didnt choose to come out and say this is a narrow thing. Thats what you heard this morning when you interviewed Reince Priebus. He could of said were taking a narrowly taylor ad proefp to create a saver environment. Over all it wont affect most people. They chose to make it seem like a big thing. It became a big thing. Dickerson it turns out, President Trump is doing what candidate trump said he would do. Thats right. President trump promised additional scrutiny and vetting to muslim immigrants and refugees. The immigration says this is a narrowly tailored measure they have sold it as a broad measure. It was interpret interpretd andd it was a broad measure. Its in keeping with the president s rhetoric during the campaign. If anyone was surprised they shouldnt of been surprised. Its been clear from the beginning that President Trump plans to carry out campaign prom siss. The problem is some are extremely unpopular. Evidence by the mass demonstrations happening against this yesterday. Dickerson hugh, there are been a series of different arguments against this. Praoeb i couldnt say said this is an 10 percent issue. Conservatives have said this is an executive over reach and stepping on what congress should do. On the diplomatic front john mccain says there doesnt appear to be outreach or paving the way. Praoeb i couldnpriebus said heo tip a hand. Where do you keep on this . Think its a Ten Day Campaign to frame President Trumps roll out. A man of action. Been said. I believe the press reaction is some bit hysterical. There are broad waves that the 50,000 numbers was the average of 20012015 of the refuge ez entered into the United States. President obama increased significantly last year. He had a very good defining ten days. This does put a cap on his extreme vetting. Hes keeping his campaign commitments. Dickerson molly, hes keeping his campaign commitments. Home land security had some confusion, no order until friday. The press wasnt briefed. Not just our per og stiffs but the people whose in name this action is taking place. Hugh is exactly right a lot of points on the board. Is this a cost to the rush. The points on the board are largely symbolic, right. The polling, we werent in it anyway. Everyone assumed it was dead. The building of the wall is more a statement of intent then anything, no groined has been broken. A lot of hoops to jump through before thats done. I agree it was very definitional a lot of actions he took. President trump will be judged when he actually gets results and weather he actually makes America Great again. As he said in his inaugural this is the hour of ago eugs. He has created a spectacle reaction. Hysterical reaction is a point. Hes aou provocative thinker. He loves to make peoples heads explode and do things in a disruptive manner. This is an image he likes, he will be judged eventually when the rubber hits the road. You know obamacare is another example. The execu obamacare, largely symbolic. When congress does anything can they get it done. Thats what will count. The point of image is key. I think what President Trump may understand is that the kind lets say a hysterical backlash to this can harden the opposition seeing among democratic activists and liberal activists two beliefs. One the Trump Administration is targeting religious and racial minorities in the action. Two, any democrat cooperating, not just these things but anything increasingly the attitude is we dont want that democrat in office. Can i add what he didnt do. He didnt revokes doca. Controversial to that opinion. He didnt lift sanctions on russia. Senator mccain brought that forward. It goes back 180r no internal allies or perpetual i would say the one thing setting off the alarm bill is including iraq on the list. I agree with senator mccain on that. Too much is at stake. He didnt target muslims. He didnt send out the dreamers. There is a moderation under the actions. I think its admirable and political. It will be reinforced this week with the Supreme Court. Hes not trying to sell moderations or sell collisions behind it. Hes not saying my actions are reasonable. Im reaching out to Chuck Schumer and the congress. The reason he may of slowed down russian sanctions is senator mccain and senator mcconnell said were not for. That we have legislation that would clearly pass with a bipartisan majority legislating the sanctions. That made things look differently. Hes no behind anything looking or selling moderate. I would , yet. Nixon goes to china in 72 not 69. Youre tough at the start you get soft eras you go on. Approval rating is 36 percent. I think the Trump Administration has to take this cost seriously. Dickerson not just domestic costs. There are responses overseas. The chief of staff can argue this and make a case on american television. A lot of opinions will be formed in actions taken overseas. Doesnt seem to be action from the white house on what reince praoeb i couldnt say saipriebud overseas. Trump doesnt want to do things traditionally. But traditionally beginning as a president is a opportunity to broadway and reach to collisions. This administration is taking a different approach, divisive approach. We dont know yet the consequences of all of the provocative actions he has taken diplomatically. The dust up with mexico this week. We dont know where that will end. We dont know if the master negotiator will make mexico pay for the wall that the american tax payer is on the hook for. Will that end in a diplomatic crisis, a trade war, rolling back of nafta. In a lot of ways despite the symbolism its too early to tell the concrete consequences. When the president will be test sd when he has to face a unexpected crisis. When he has to face the actions of another government with consequences for americans. This week King Abdullah of jordan, a closeme coming to washington. Think hes rushing dont put the embassy in jerusalem. He doesnt have an appointment with the president. Hes flying on the a cements hee will see someone. The president doesnt want to see an arab leader before he sees the leader of israel. The people can come here under the immigration order that was issued but he represents a larger community. It will be interesting to see how they manage. That. Dickerson we will stay overseas before we get to the smorgasbord of dough mostics. A press conference with theresa may who had a press meeting with President Trump. This is what she said about the conversation they had. Mr. President , i think you confirmed youre a we also discuss the importance of nato continuing to insure its equipped to fight terrorism, cyber warfare as conventional signs of war. Dickerson hugh, how did you read this. It seems like you said this behind closed doors and maybe not now but youre committed to nato. Thats exactly how i read that. I think the Prime Minister, remarkable, and the president it was the high point. Especially the humor with the british reporter aggressive on his past statements. It was a good meeting with a strong ally. The best part of a very strong ten days with its bumps. She was doing exactly. That we will stand together against russia. We will do this, youre on the record now. Dickerson recognizing concern about his public segments on nato. Lets talk president meeting with republicans in philadelphia. It seems like everyone there is on the same team. Thats right. You see this with the, yesterday the reaction to the immigration order. Few republicans, two republicans step out criticizing directly in terms. It seems especially with the speaker, paul ryan, they are very much sim pat sy mpatico ag in the same direction. Again everyone is behaving as President Trump has a broad level of political support. Thats not reflected in the approval and favorability numbers, from the action of democratic law makers. At some point someone will realize perhaps within the gop their president may not be as popular as hes projected. Then what hes fop aou hrar with republican primary voters. Thats who the republicans are scared of. There isnt that much unit behind the scenes. Theyre terrified of seeming not to be on the scene. Theyre looking to be like they are for the same thing. Actually they dont know what he wants to do with healthcare. Theyre waiting for the signal to figure out their approach. Various things have been floated. They know trump could tweet or Say Something tomorrow that could send them scrambling in another direction. Their voters want them on the president team. Want trump to be the leader. If trump wants to do something that republicans havent been for. When he talked about infrastructure you would of heard a pin drop. If trump persist seeking what is a democratic priority, spending government money to build things it will be tough fore line behind. That there is fear and uncertain see in the republican caucus. Dickerson we will continue to talk about this. We will take a break but be back with more from our panel. Looking for clear answers for your Retirement Plan . Start here. Or here. Even here. And definitely here. At fidelity, were available 24 7 to make Retirement Planning simpler. We let you know where you stand, so when it comes to your Retirement Plan, youll always be absolutely. Clear. Time to think of your future its your retirement. Know where you stand. My lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. Through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16 italian. He was 34 eastern european. So i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. This is my ancestor who i didnt know about. He looks a little bit like me, yes. Ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. Get started for free at ancestry. Com dickerson were back with our panel. Hugh, i want to get your session of an emerging relationship with President Trump as he was in the room with the reif you cans. As molly said there are issues of infrastructure spending, defense spending, what he wants to do on drug prices. Theyre not traditionally conservative ideas. How do you think that accommodation gets worked out with Republican Leaders and congress . They wont make a war out of it. If he delivers a judge to the Supreme Court the senate will rally. The democrats are ob strucking his nominations in a way that republicans did not. There is a great deal of unaminity. Infrastructure i want to give him a tenth of obama and i think he will do a hundred times as much. There is a splitting. Paul ryan gets entitlement reform and President Trump gets infrastructure and ship building. You saw this from the i am a nerd and love the days of border tax policy. The reif you i will cans in congress was a border adjustment. Different from the tariff that trump wants to do. You have republicans even some in the white house fudging it and say theyre the same thing. Theyre not the same thing. Its not clear who will get their way. Whether the republicans who are strongly convicted about fiscal conservatism. A lot feel that got them elected. Whether they will go along with trump seeking his way. Dickerson and any deal of entitlement reform donald trump says he doesnt want to do. Its a significant climb down of what he has said and advisors have said. Jamelle, democrats tried to be smart had and sneak in there with their own infrastructure bill. Go ahead, mr. President , sign it how do you think that pla i dont know. I see the strategy there for democrats, democrats to say were putting forth a serious plan, something that will improve the nations infrastructure. The plan trump proposes has tax incentives for private business. And democrats are more straight forward a stimulus style. The federal government will actively Fund Infrastructure programs. I think that approach is in direct tension what had seems to be, i said this earlier, the rising mood among democratic voters. Some segment, certainly activists. I dont think it was i think its noteworthy that yesterday the governors who jumped out to say we oppose this and will do whatever it takes to stop it are from virginia, andrew cuomo from new york. These are moderate democrats. These are not lefty. They sense the mood o sort of here is our better plan to work with you and trump approach is unacceptable. Dickerson interesting also donald trump met with union leaders. Some supporting hillary clinton. He said i have roads and bridges to sell you. Lets build them. That was a reach in. Let me ask you about the Affordable Care act. Donald trump says he wants something cheap, covering everyone, better and wont touch entitlements. Thats a tall order. A lot of republicans feel thats a tall order. How nervous how does this get worked out between what donald trump wants and realistic. He has adopted president owe guam as promises but not the means to get there. Can you find different means. Have they said look i dont think its right for the government to be involvedn healthcare. Its not the government responsible to make sure people have health coverage. That would be a philosophical idea. He says make sure nobody loses coverage or benefits of the program without the costs. Its a hard thing to square. Thats why you heard on the tapes from philadelphia the mashing of teeth of republicans. They feel they will be left holding the bag for promises they didnt make. Dickerson how does this get worked out, hao up. You have to get the confirmation. There is a phis over the calk he is of repale i am repeal it now and give it a dead date 18 months forward. Then come up with a replacement. Get it done. I will say this, john, steve banning the white house. Reince praoeb i couldnt say did a fine job defending the president. Kelly is everywhere. Jared is in the conversation. Adding steve has upset senator mccain tells me there maybe a first among equals on policy. I havent heard him say a word about obamacare. I dont think they know what they want yet. That leaves the congressional waiting. The senate needs to get him confirmed. Dickerson let me ask you this, banning, what the are rolls in the white house and who plays what roll. This week in a meet are of congressional leader President Trump said he believes there were three million illegal votes and thats why he lost the vote. Thats a belief he holds spicer said. Usually they rush to defend and not put it over here. What did you make of that . And now the investigation of voter fraud . It seems consistent with the donald trump i tkpwofd for a yend president ial campaign. He believes a lot of things that are not true. He believes in conspiracy theory. He believes ted cruzs dad may of had something to do with the kennedy assassination. There are beliefs that Donald Trump Holds and cant be diswadded. Now hes pred and it has consequences. Now hes president , when someone points out what he believes is not true he can order a investigation into it. The question is this investigation something his staff has done to placate him or is it something he felt pushed into, forced into by the criticism of his statement, that will have actual consequences in terms of legislation to be passed to make it harder to vote. Thats what happened the last time republicans were obsessed with voter fraud. Dickerson huge question on steve bannon. In the white house they have to have someone to tell the the president has a interesting standard. On one hand the intelligent agencies tell him something about russia. He doesnt want to believe it. He will believe thin material on the question of three to five influenced. Can someone say no to the president. Thats a crediting question. I would say kuschner. Jared is literally family. There are clearly interesting rolled rolls. Ban south chief ideologist it seems. He has domestic and Foreign Policy philosophy. Jared has his hands in many interesting things. When the meeting was canceled with the president of mexico jared got that going. He seems to be getting things done. Can he go to his fatherinlaw and say this is not right. I dont know. Him. Dickerson there is an argument nobody should tell the president on this specific case no. He has launched voter irregula irregularities and republicans may want this. Yes. There are voting right advocates that are afraid of this investigation. They feel if sessions is confirmed its the entry point on voting rights. I want to get to banning real quick. The idea of achieve ideologist is important. One thing thats under examed about ban on is his relationship and his roll prior to joining the trump campaign. If you look what the administration has done this week. From the publicized undocumented immigrants. This seems minor but the Holocaust Memorial statement not mentioning Jewish Americans or antisemitism. This is hallmarks of the White National rhetoric. You see them what exactly is ban ons rollnl here and his beliefs. Dickerson thats all we have time for. Thank you to our panel. We will be right back. Fios is not cable. Were wired differently.
