Katy tur picks things up. Im not sure that donald trump can speak fluent japanese. We have a team of reporters working on finding that out. We also have a team of reporters to break down Donald Trumps second bilateral meeting. That Press Conference that we justaw between donald trump and the Prime Minister of japan, shinzo abe. It has been a gruelling week for the new president. His major policy and major policy point, Executive Order struck down at least temporarily by the courts. That Press Conference we just saw touched on that. Lets get our viewers up to speed with the highlights and then well talk all about it on the other side. Im curious about yesterdays ruling in the ninth Circuit Court. Has it caused you to rethink your use of Executive Power and pow will you respond and will you sign new Executive Orders and perhaps a new travel ban . We are going to do whatever is necessary to keep our country
safe. We had a decision which we think will be very successful with. It shouldnt h
Missiles are not used to bomb runways. Officials say the strike seen here from the two u. S. Navy destroyers was meant to sent a message to the assad regime and its allies. A russian drone was seen over the hospital where victims of the chemical attack were taken. On a lighter note, the fox news learned the skipper of one of the warships that launched missiles at that syrian airfield is a graduate of the u. S. Naval academy. The u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations would not rule out more strikes from the commanders ship. We are prepared to do more. But we hope that will not be necessary. Reporter im told one of those warships in the Eastern Mediterranean is steaming toward an undisclosed location where the ship will rearm. Kelly the u. S. Taking a closer look at the relationship between syria and russia. Nikki haley telling a special u. N. Session that syria was able to carry out the brutal chemical attack because of russias support. Assad did this because he those could get away wi
Capricious, ash tear or made sense. The Supreme Court in boumedin struck it down saying it was not an adequate substitute for habeas. Thats correct, senator. Your role was to find out a way to engage congress on the Detainee Treatment because it was your view that congress, being involved, would strengthen the president s hand . As a lawyer . Yes. I was not a policymaker but i did advise. As a lawyer. As did many others. There were very other many fine lawyers, too, senator, who advised the administration that Engaging Congress would be a good idea, because we had read our youngstown and our justice jackson. Any lawyer i think who understands this area of the law would suggest the president is stronger when he has congressional support. The Signing Statement. Is it fair to say there was a conflict between the Vice President s office and other parts of the Bush Administration about what the Signing Statement
should say or look like . Thats my recollection, and thats about all i can reca
Plus literally dialing up the rhetoric. President trump and president putin set to talk as counterpart tomorrow. But whos calling who . Keir simmons in new york, Kristen Welker at the white house. Big meeting today, big phone call tomorrow but its the meeting thats not happening thats grabbing all the headlines, right . Thats right. That meeting that was supposed to happen with the president of mexico which was cancelled yesterday after President Trump insisted that mexico was going to pay for the wall, the president of mexico said not going to pay for the wall. That is something we have heard him say over and over again. Then we learned he cancelled the meeting. President trump tried to cast it as a mutual decision. Bottom line, this is a rift in a relation with one of the United States closest allies, its Third Largest Trading Partner. What happens next . The administration floating the idea of a possible 20 tax on imports from mexico and, hallie,
for a very busy day. Keir simmons is
Unfairly. What is wrong with having an overzealous watch Dog Committee . And isnt getting rid of this office the kind of swampy stuff that republicans across America Elected donald trump to get rid of . Theyre bringing anonymous charges and trying them in a public arena. A person targeted by that has to defend themselves after theyve been attacked publicly when they dont have a right to face their accuser. Thats a right that goes right back to jesus himself standing before the high priest. Im going to read it off the screen here, with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog as unfair as it is . So the President Elect appears to be making the argument that you guys have a lot of other things on their plate. Why make this the first move in secret the way it went down last night . I would have been happy to bring that to the floor and let
democrats vote on that independently. I think you would have seen strong support
