want to challenge it immediately. it takes effect on october 18th. the other one bill: unless it s blocked. there will be a back in which no travel ban will be in place. bill: this is what stuck out at me if you look at the order. on screen this is what it says. the secretary of homeland security in consultation with the secretary of state and attorney general have determined that a small number of countries remain deficient at this time with respect to their identity management and information sharing capabilities, protocols and practices. in some cases these countries also have a significant terrorist presence within their territory. he did not have that information available to him on the first travel ban or the second. the first and second were criticized because it lacked that kind of country specific data. bill: i think that s the
world s biggest nuclear power. shannon: what will it take to lower the tensions? plus this. bill: she won, merkel celebrating in germany after winning her fourth term as chancellor. her victory is not without controversy. details on that in a moment. shannon: the white house expanding the list of countries and conditions on its new travel ban. will the new restrictions put an end to the legal battle over the ban? judge andrew napolitano joins us live. this is something the trump administration will argue is based not at all in religion and based specifically in safety standards for people entering the u.s.
this new policy in factors other than religion. the administration sort of zeroed in on the fact a lot of legal challenges to the original travel ban was the fact it appeared to be discriminatory against muslims n. this revised order, a few of the countries are not muslim majority countries, which sort of hedges against the future liability that might befall them based on this. another important thing on this it gives all the nation thaes are included the opportunity to comply with u.s. guidance in the future and graduate out of the ban. so while it is permanent there is no automatic expiration date like the previous ban. this one presents equal opportunity for all the nations to move away from this and not be part of it in the future, which is important. shannon: no surprise there are critics. numerous court challenges with differing levels of success. a group called muslim advocates when the new release went out.
saying making america safe is my number one priority. we will not admit those into our country that we cannot safely event. by the aclu challenging the saying that the administration s order is still a muslim ban. the original scene cannot be cured by throwing other countries onto the enemies list. to the supreme court oral arguments for the original travel ban happen on october the tenth, heather, so it is likely that this will be in the news fr some time to come. heather: very busy week on tap. john roberts, thank you. jon: more on the fallout from the president s comments of the nfl and the national anthem controversy. it let s bring in bret baier, the anchor of special report. it is interesting to me, the controversy over cullen cabernet taking a need, that s where it all started. pretty well died down, then the president found a way to judge it up on friday. i guess the question is why? that is a good question.
this travel ban emotionally is going to be based on what you think about president trump. i m trying to take a step back from that when i think about this myself and look at the policy as it s written on paper. and what i see with this new order is that they ve taken great care to emphasize and ground this in a policy review process. nothing is arbitrary, none of the countries that are included in this revised order are singled out. none of them have been under consideration for different criteria than the others. it was a fairly it was a fairly standardized procedure. this is something the original ban totally lacked. and so i m more inclined from a policy perspective to get on board with this one because the administration has taken the time and intellectual rigor needed in order to execute something like this. how it gets implemented will be up to the department of
