by side to ensure the safety of america. reporter: is it a concession that the first one was a failure? absolutely not. reporter: bottom line, the white house feels better about the way they handled it this time around. it s unclear whether the state attorney s general will be trying to block this to sue to block it like they did especially washington state s attorney general the last time around. thanks, peter. we are going to take a break. from wiretaps to the travel ban, it s been a hectic week and it s only tuesday. it s been a hectic week in the white house. we are going to break down the highs and lows. you ve got mail! what did you think i d look like? i m wire-y. uh, i love stuff. give me more stuff.

. president trump has just signed a new travel ban executive order. it applies to six majority muslim countries, not seven. it includes other major changes. laura, walk us through the new order and how it differs from the previous one some six weeks ago. wolf, the major take-aways here are that those with valid visas will be excluded from the travel ban. iraq has been removed from the list of banned countries, and all refugees are still barred from entering the u.s. for 120 days. we also learned new information from the justice department. it seeks to bolster the national security claims. let s take a listen to the attorney general earlier today. many people seeking to support or commit terrorist acts will try to enter through our
