done that. he knows the source where he got this information from. if you dial it back a little bit, we already had an obama spokesperson saying we had nothing to do with it. the former director of national intelligence, james clapper saying he didn t have anything to do with it. but he also said it could still have gone on, he just didn t know about it. matthew brings up the point about the fisa warrant, who would know about that? loretta lynch? what did she know and when did she know it the president of the united states could call the department of justice now and get that information and declassify exactly. anything he wanted to. and that s my next point. that s what he should do. he should put out exactly what he knows, where the source of his tweet came from, and let s get on. rhett let s talk about the health care plan, the immigration executive order. i don t think this is what his message should be this week. does this step on, we have
do something as they saw as overreach from washington from the white house. in the face of an abdication by congress and be a check on the executive branch. no matter the outcome, they succeeded in blocking obamacare at first and then an immigration executive order. attorneys general around the country can do this to trump a lot. shepard: the lawyers for hawaii says the new executive order is results in the establishment of religion in hawaii inflicting immediate damage to hawaii s economy, the educational institutions and tourism industry, subjecting a portion of the state s citizens to second class treatment and discrimination while denying residents of a pluralistic society. what hawaii is arguing is that the president said he wanted a muslim ban, he stood up in front of everybody when he was a candidate and said i want a ban
open to democratic ideas. but hold on, given how contentious and how leaky things are right now, is it not fair they could get their ts crossed and is dotted and present a final version? i think they should have included the key players that will represent democrats were not involved as far as i have heard. i think the second step must be more inclusive and collaborative than the first. i ve got to ask you about the immigration executive order. president trump signed it yesterday privately and i know democrats have slammed the order. in 2016, california, your state, took in more refugees than any other state. you are the biggest so that does make sense, more than 7,000. if the executive order gets through and it may, how are you going to manage it for your state? we re going to continue to fight any executive order that is a muslim ban. so taking one country off but
this time we just see only a picture taken by that photojournalist sean spicer, the press secretary is the only way that we know that this actually happened, a picture from the oval of president trump signing the order. no press coverage, no questions could be permitted as you saw the cabinet secretaries who this time were involved. last time they were pretty much blind sided on the final versions of this order and it had come out of a small white house group and instead this time they were engaged, they made the point they had briefed the press earlier this morning. we were all on a conference call with them, they briefed members of congress, but again, no questions asked on camera. for viewers and ul all the others watching what we re doing. reporter: the contrast is particularly compelling here, given the fact that six weeks now separate the original signing of that immigration executive order to much fanfare, the president showed it off to reporters to the oval office on that d
mont more. they didn t think they could risk the security of the american people. that s been the argument all along, they needed to keep dangerous people out of the country. having said that, they don t have really any sweeping changes, but changes that democrats and immigration officials say are nothing more than cosmetic. so, they haven t quieted the storm. so different, too, in the way they approached it. there was that big fanfare at the pentagon when the president first did the immigration executive order. now, quietly, the only thing we saw no cameras allowed in, no press allowed in. we saw a picture that was tweeted by sean spicer of him signing it. the white house officially saying the reason for this change is because he wanted to give credit that this was a group effort, that everyone had worked on it and there was this briefing with the heads of justice and state and homeland security over at the homeland security department today. but in the meantime, still a lot
