was critical of president obama but never critical on foreign policy issues just because. i think it s important that politics end at the water s edge as much as it can. you can still disagree. i d encourage my friends on the other side, don t make everything a major issue. let s try to work together as americans and restore foreign policy and build the world in that process by america leading again. harris: thanks, congressman. is there something precipitous? something we need to know coming from russia? those words were harsh coming from them. then iran had harsh words, too, in terms of what they would do to the fifth fleet in bahrain in terms of renegotiating this nuclear deal? you have russia, assad and the middle east. it s all real politics. this idea that we need to create a wedge between iran and russia is important. it s going to be difficult.
harris: we re coming up on the 6:00 p.m. deadline today for the trump administration to file documents in support of the president s travel ban. here to debate, two republicans with two very different opinions on that executive order. boyd matheson, former chief of staff to utah senator mike lee. nick adams, founder and executive director for f.l.a.g. nick, i want the start with you and what you anticipate to happen next. everybody is following this legal battle very quickly and very closely. now there s deadlines looming. harris, i m not a constitutional scholar but i m clear when it detrimental to the interests of the united states, for certain people to get entry here, the president has every right to make sure that he keeps americans safe, that he keeps our families safe, that he keeps our countries safe. ultimately donald trump will prevail politically and legally.
convene in san francisco. instead, they settle them in phone conversations. the judges in questions are democrats, moderately liberal. william canby jr. and michelle t. freedland appointed by judge obama. the third judge is considered moderately conservative. this court has a huge reputation for being liberal. once ruling that the phrase one nation under god be removed from the pledge of allegiance and nativity scenes be banned from south california parks. whatever decision the ninth circuit court comes to, it will likely be appealed to the supreme court. because we re still short one supreme court justice, a 4-4 tie is likely, which means the ninth circuit route ruling would stand. harris? all right. and i understand now, too, 100
condemned russia for their actions in the ukraine. harris: and part of this, some critics are saying the president s words sounded reminiscent of the apology tour that republicans were critical of president obama for. so that s kind of where this around and around has begun. there s another chapter. i m going to move on. there s this. a top russian official says it would be too risky for the united states to try to reopen a nuclear deal with iran. the nation s foreign minister told local media, don t try to fix what is not broken. president trump called it the world deal i have ever seen negotiated . last week, the white house slapped iran with a new round of sanctions after they tested a ballistic missile. this comes after u.s. is working to break up ways with russia s alliance in an effort to end the syrian civil war. that s what people familiar with
diplomacy. america is a place like nick can come and be part of the american dream. we have that compassionate component to who we are as americans and we need to make sure we re striking the right balance. on a day when we really celebrate ronald reagan s birthday, we should remember the communication strategy always has to be as strong as the policy strategy. i think the administration missed it. harris: you got it all in, including a birthday shout out. want to ask this. what if it never really would have gone as smoothly as it worked out in your head because there s so many people on the other side of the political aisle, those protesting and rioting in the streets, those at the airport and so on and so forth. that to consider. are republicans who think like you willing to come forth with an idea that would shore up the writing in that executive order?
