Does it make he did acknowledge it was a contested election and not everybody feels the same way but everyone has to work together. As you reported earlier this week, hes also dealing with the fact that several top officials in the state department were fired so theres a lot going on on his first day on the job. Walk us through exactly what this change is in regards to the Russian Intelligence Agency and the white house response . If you remember back in 2015 when all these kind of cyberattacks by rush were starting to take place the Obama Administration put a large executive order against russia in the last few days in office, they named the Russian Intelligence Service to that order and prohibited basically business and any type of traction with them. But what it did was kind of throw the baby out with the bath water in addition to the kind of sanctions ban and those type of tractions what it also did was have the unintended consequence of prohibiting normal nonsanctio nonsanctions business between the u. S. And russia, among other duties the russian intelligence fsb is in charge of take k customs payments and border checks so when they cut off all business with the fsb, nothing was able to be done, so this is kind of a technical course correction to allow these types of transactions and of course this Trump Administration very sensitive to the fact that it might be lifting sanctions, it really isnt that, its a minor easing, so its really just to allow those nonsanctions, technical ko technical transactions to take place. Initially you see the headline and you think oh, my goodness, thank you so much. Joining me now dana bash, amy poke, the deputy security advisor as the National Security council. Dana, first, is this any different on the stance on iran . Very different. Particularly in the months and years of the Obama Administration, because theyre whole m. O. Was to try to get a nuclear deal and because of that there were a lot of carrots that went out. We had direct communication between the leaders for the first time in history and i think if somebody would have asked president obama are you putting military action, are you taking that off the table . If you would have put that direct question to him he probably would have said no because thats what a good commander in chief does, however saying that in context to what general flynn said yesterday which was kind of a very general, vague, but provocative statement from if white house podium saying that the iranian government is on notice it understandably sent the iranians into a state of confusion and might be the entire strategy behind what the president and his team are trying to do. And i have cnn global analystari analyst, aaron miller with us as well. You wrote a article in the wall street journal today, you red its not off the table . The difference here is i think in cog incognito with the iranians. The problem is whats happened now and mike flynn has literally personalized this sort of ultimatum by appearing in the briefing room, theyre beginning to lay down what is a proverbial red line and the problem with red lines is once they articulate it if in fact the iranians defy, which they will the ultimatum with respect to testing now that theyre quote unquoten notice, the administration is then put into the difficult position literally to be quite direct of having to put up or shutup. And the problem is our options in the gulf with respect to yemen are not very good. One other point to make, if you looked at the flynn statement, theres a glaring omission there which is syria. They talk about iranian provocative behavior in yemen, in the gulf supporting terrorism, but do not refer at all to iranian activity in aleppo or the regime, and i expect thats very woeful where theyre not waging a proxy war, the background briefing by a Senior Administration official made it quite clear and if youre the iranians youre hearing this, but the Trump Administration is it trying to make the distinction outside of the four corners of the Nuclear Agreement and that its not interested in opening up the agreement or walk away from it is going to further create ambiguitity of further strength and resolve. Amy you just left the National Security council. The president should not quote make a toy of himself, what do you make of this escalating back and forth, amy . What i see thats missing is the process thats characterized not just the Obama AdministrationForeign Policy but also the foreign processes that proceeded president obama an thats where you get together members of the intelligence commit, the state department, the department of defense even the department of Homeland Security and commerce and get all the experts in a room to come up with a reasonable Foreign Policy, thats what seems to be missing here. It does not seem to appear theres the considerate process that takes into account of our multiple equities around the world and the United States, so thats what i would like to see more of here so we have a better sense of where were headed, because right now the path forward is absolutely unclear. Lets talk about the phone call yesterday with australias leader. Were learning President Trump had a heated phone call about this deal that former president obama made about allowing 1,200 refugees entering the u. S. , the Prime Minister said the deal was still valid but here was trump moments ago. I love australians, but we had a problem that for whatever reason president obama said they were going to take probably well over 1,000 Illegal Immigrants who were in prisons and they were going to bring them and take them into this country and i just said why, so well see what happens, but a Previous Administration does something you have to respect that, but you can also say why are we doing this . Thats why were in the jams that were in. Dana, clear hes not a fan of this deal. Is he obligated to follow it . Is he obligated to follow it . I guess technically not, but this is one conventional thing he seems to be doing which is saying he is going to, not unlike something thats a lot more controversial which we were talking and before, the iran deal, people adamantly against the iran deal say we need to abide by it at least for now, but what is so telling today what his press secretary said at the briefing today which is we respect the people of australia, even respect this deal which would be to take in some refugees, but also the way that he spoke to the Prime Minister on the phone in private, by all accounts that is donald trump, the business man. That is donald trump the bulldozing negotiator who dresses down people in order to feel like he has and probably in most cases successfully got to the point where he wanted to. Thats his negotiating tactic. And its the first window that weve gotten into that tactic being used in something thats so different which is diplomacy which is always not always, but usually very scripted, you know, a lot of phrases that are used over and over again which is winks and nods to say a certain thing, that was out the window in this conversation which i think is so fascinating. My first question is why did the administration how did this leak, why did it leak, was there an intention behind that . And i want to look back the past 12 days i think its 12 days, what can we assess about trumps diplomacy . Could he keep this tactic long term . Thats the great debate, isnt it . An ive been wrong about everything with his campaign the last 15 months. Number one this is a guy who doesnt have a whole lot of experience in government or diplomacy and there are a lot of call it bumps in the road, i think thats an understatement but in the face of reality maybe a failure too and wise advisors, people like tillerson and mattis that President Trump will come around, the alternative is the new norm, you have a persona thats not going to change at the age of 70, pushing back harder than when youre pushed, a guy who consistently refers not just to the size of his electoral victory, but is driven by some core commitments particularly with respect to immigration and imposing a sort of fee for service rub rick on American Allies the australians included. This may well be the new normal. I think its safe to say that were really not in kansas anymore and i suspect thats why im going to come out. Two weeks in its an extreme amount, and its not going to be easy to repair. Thank you. We have more to discuss coming up. More breaking news involving the u. S. Deadly raid in which the u. S. Navy s. E. A. L. Was killed. We now know when President Trump approved this conversation. Plus eruptions at uc berkeley hours before a speech. Were going to discuss the debate there. And the moment the president asked the room to pray for the ratings for tvs apprentice. Stay with us. Well be right back. But kind is honest. This bar is made with cranberries and almonds. So, guess what . We call it cranberry almond. Give kind a try. Why pause a spontaneous moment . Cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph.

If you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. Ask your doctor about cialis. We just heard from press Secretary Sean Spicer very careful to explain why the raid in which a u. S. Navy s. E. A. L. Was called a success. Its hard to ever call something a complete success when you have a loss of life or people injured, but when you look at the totality of what was gained to prevent the future loss of life in america and probably throughout the world in terms of what some of these individuals could have done, i think it is a Successful Operation by all standards. Former deputy Homeland Security advisor, ryan brown, and brandon webb, former navy s. E. A. L. Ryan, to start with you, what more are you learning about the details of this raid and the number of civilian casualties . Were starting to learn that the raid itself was recommended back in november. The goal of the raid was called a site exploitation in an attempt to gather as much information as responsible. Now to go on a moonless night. They were unfortunately detected by al qaeda fighters, and small arms fire, heavy weapons grenades and looks like one of the buildings used by al qaeda was hit by airstrikes and there were reports that civilians were killed including children. The number is potentially a dozen, the military is still investigating that, they also lost the aircraft that they had to destroy in an airstrike to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. But they are gaining intelligence from the hard driv driv drives recovered that might prevent future strikes down the road. They were about five minutes away from actually ekxecuting te raid in which they knew the people on the ground in yemen knew about the operation and we were ready for it. Why would they carry on with the operation and whatever else youre learning from your sources about it . I think whats not being reported yet is it looks like two original al qaeda commanders on the scene, so those are extremely high value targets so when youre committed to an operation like that these guys expect resistance and speaks volumes with seal team 6 to go ahead with the raid. And amy you recently left the National Security council we learned it was approved over a dinner meeting in the first week of Donald Trumps presidency. How are these types of decisions typically made . Just curious . Obviously i cant speak to how this particular decision was made, but in general what we saw with president obama and this was consistent with president bush as well is he pulled together all the senior advisors, all the cabinet officials and get them around the table and debate the pros and cons of whats at stake, obviously theres always high risk when youre going into an operation like this, but you want to make sure that you have put it on the table and considered the good and bad and ultimately when the president moves forward he has all the information he could have to make a decision thats in the best interest of the United States. United in their hatred and condemnation of this, as we reported severalvil civilians d. How do these raids impact the just . They impact Foreign Policy as whole. Weve kind of had these schizophrenic policies, and a lot is contribute today destabilization and youre seeing the effects play out in africa and middle east right now, and we cant kill our way to victory on the war on terror, we have to look at other ways to come back radical islamism and i think thats just seeing it play out right now.

President trump says he wont take and an existing executive order that predates trump and told the sanctions will not impact the nuclear deal more of this coming up of course. And president keeping his apprentice board room skills pretty sharp at the National Prayer breakfast. He took his swipe at the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. They hired a big big movie star to take my place, we know how that tell us yourned out. And mark will never ever bet against trump again and i would to just pray for arnold, okay. Hey, donald, i have a great idea, why dont we switch jobs, you take over tv since youre such an expert in ratings and i take over your job and people can finally speak comfortably again. Gentlemen, is the National Prayer service the place to comment on tv ratings . No, its not. This has been an open, a politicapolitical thing as anytn be. Its not time to stroke your own ego and take shots at Arnold Schwarzenegger. Maybe your ratings went down because people dont like you and dont want to be around your business anymore, and its not wholly accurate. I want to point out mark. I said perhaps. A whole lot. I deal in facts. I want to go with you your reaction in what mark said . To say somehow the reason that the aprentice is not doing well is because the guy isnt on the show anymore and they dont want done on it because of him. Hes not going to be your traditional president. Traditionally, yes, these are probably things you wouldnt hear at a Prayer Breakfast but traditionally people didnt think donald trump was going to be president. Its people like this that dont understand why donald trump is president , hes not traditional. Hes not going to do things the way bush or clinton or obama did in the past. This is a perfect example of that. People in audience liked it and laughed about it and obviously thought it was pretty funny. The question isnt that people are shocked by it. Im not saying i cant believe donald trump did something inappropriate. Im saying it is inappropriate and to point it out doesnt change the fact that its inappropriate, im saying its wrong to do not surprising. I dont think there was anything immoral here. Its a Prayer Breakfast. I dont think theres anything listen to what i said, immoral about him having a funny oneliner to entertain people in the crowd. It wasnt like he said something that was inappropriate at a Prayer Breakfast, this was him being humorous an funny, and again, if you listen to the crowd they thought it was funny and laughed at it. I disagree. So we know you disagree on that,
