Yesterday, a judge in brooklyn blocked part, preventing those that were detained at u. S. Airports during the early hours of this order. The scenes at american airports were a whirlwind of the trump precedence they sought proposals on everything on foreignmade goods to the mexican wall to the ditching of the Transpacific Partnership trade deal, but was this travel ban that had the most immediate repercussions. [ cheering ] at airports around the country, celebration after judge ann donolly at the Federal District court in brooklyn cited imminent danger of irreparable danger would arrive in the United States with valid visas or refugee status. The emergency stay followed a day of protests around the country after at least 375 travelers were either prevented from flying or barred entry to the United States. It is unconstitutional and it will be overturned. Hamid darwish who worked for the u. S. Military as an interpreter and engineer was held at new york airport until granted an airport. When i came here they say no, and they treated me as if i break the laws, i do something wrong. On friday President Trump suspended it for 120 days and closed the borders for three months and barred Syrian Refugees indefinitely. Mr. Trump established a religious test for refugees from those muslim countries allowing an exception for christians and others from minority religions. Its not a muslim ban and were prepared to work it out nicely. You see it at the airport. The executive order is not only unamerican and its unconstitutional and flies in the pace of equal protection and violates the statutes and acts of congress, the immigration nationality act. We also believe it may violate the commission against torture. It may also, we believe, violate the first amendment. In his first week in office President Trump unleashed a flood of executive action on immigration, the environment, abortion and trade. This administration has hit the ground running. Also this week Via Executive order mr. Trump attempted to start the process to build a wall along the u. S. Mexico border, signed another order to cut off funds for sanctuary cities and criminal actions committed by aliens. To pay for the wall the administration floated a plan to put a 20 tax on american imports and americans would likely pay more for all kinds of imports and some conservatives in congress are pushing back. Senator Lindsay Graham tweeting any policy proposal which drives up costs of tequila, coronas is a bad idea, mucho sad. For those when like corona, im going to protect the price of corona. Busy nine days. Joining me is mr. Trumps chief of staff Reince Priebus. Welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me, chuck. I want to start on timing of the executive order and to implement it immediately. Was there any thought given of creating a 72hour grace period, a oneweek grace period in order to allow Border Patrol agents to understand what the rules are, allow agencies to allow federal agencies to understand what the rules are. It seems a lot of the chaos yesterday could have been avoided had you included a timed grace period. Why was that not included . I dont think you want a grace period because people who want to do bad things to americans would move up their travel days before the grace period is over. Its one of these things and if you ask a lot of the people at the customs and Border Patrol youll rip off the bandaid and you have to move forward. It wasnt chaos. The fact of the matter is 325,000 people from Foreign Countries came into the United States yesterday and 109 people were detained for further questioning. Most of those people were moved out. Weve got a couple dozen more that remain, and i would suspect as long as theyre not awful people that they will move through before another half a day today and perhaps some of these people should be detained further, and if theyre folks that shouldnt be in this country theyre going to be detained. So apologize for nothing here. Okay. You dont think that anything there was no decision you didnt put out any of the rules in advance to some of these agencies. Why not . Chuck, of course were working with the agencies. We were working with the agencies for a long time and im not going to get into every conversation that was had, but this was not an executive order that was signed by the white house and suddenly transferred to the department of Homeland Security. They know full well what was going on and they conducted themselves yesterday perfectly pursuant to the order. One of the things in the order is to include green card holders and that is something that there has been a report that the department of Homeland Security recommended it not include green card holders. Why did the white house choose to overrule the department of Homeland Security on that one. We didnt overrule the department of Homeland Security. As far as green card holders moving forward it didnt affect them. If youre coming in and out identified by the Obama Administration as the seven most dangerous in the world in regard to harboring terror firsts and affirmed by congress multiple times then youre going to be subjected temporarily with more questioning until a Better Program is put in place over the next several months. This is something that 75 , 80 of americans out there agree with. We dont want people that are traveling back and forth to one of these seven countries that harbor terrorists to be traveling freely back and forth between the United States and those countries. You did Say Something at the beginning of your answer and it seemed like an aside. This order does not impact any green card holders from these seven countries. Of course, it does. If youre traveling back and forth youll be subjected to further screening. Of course. Are you going to do that to american citizens as well that travel in and out of these seven countries . I would suspect it if youre an american citizen traveling back and forth to libya youre likely to be subjected to further questioning when you come to an airport. Why are you confident thats constitutional and ill ask it this way because green card holders they go through extreme vetting to get the green card, and number two, when they get the green card theyre entitled to all of the protections that citizens do. Im not suggesting that. I understand that. Are you, by having to put an extra hurdle for a green card holder to get into the country how are you confident that doesnt violate their rights and doesnt end up making the order unconstitutional. First of all, its not affecting green card holders. You keep saying you said it does if you would just slow down for a second and listen i could answer your question. Understand that, but youve twice confused me so im trying to understand the clarity. Its because you dont stop talking, chuck. I love you, but let me answer the question. If youre a person this isnt in regard to the executive order. The executive order doesnt affect green card holders moving forward. I said that. What im suggesting is customs and Border Patrol, i would suspect f they have a person traveling back and forth to libya or somalia or yemen i would suspect within their discretion they might ask a few more questions at jfk or some other airport when someone is coming back and forth within their Discretionary Authority as a customs and Border Patrol agent and what im saying is that i would suspect that most would agree that that would be a good thing to do. What im not suggesting to you that that is in the order moving forward. Im suggesting that within the discretion of the cbp that those questions would likely be asked. Okay. You say it doesnt affect green card holders moving forward, but you said it does impact green card holders from those seven countries. Those two things dont compute. No, it computes, chuck, because theres Discretionary Authority that a customs and Border Patrol agent has when they suspect that someone is up to no good thats traveling back and forth to libya or yemen. Im not suggesting its in the order. Im suggesting that at every level in an airport a customs and Border Patrol agent has the authority to use their discretion to ask questions. Were off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the executive order. Let me ask about the executive order because the countrys chosen and i know you say these were countries codified by congress and chosen by the Obama Administration, but heres what im confused about when you look at those folks who have committed terrorist acts in this country, killed americans, pakistan, saudi arabia and egypt. Youve had more terrorists come from those three countries than any of the seven that you have. In fact, in the case of saudi arabia, more have come from saudi arabia to kill americans than the seven countries combined. Why was saudi arabia, afghanistan and pakistan and pakistan and egypt not included on this list if you are so concerned about this issue . We are concerned about the issue, chuck, and thats why we put the seven countries initially into the executive order that were identified previously by congress, by both the house and the senate and the Obama Administration as being the seven most watched countries in regard to harboring terrorist, but you bring up a good point. Perhaps other countries needed to be added to an executive order going forward, but in order to do this in a way that was expeditious and in a way that would pass muster quickly, we used the countries that have been codified and identified by the administration and congress. You bring up a good point and perhaps other countries need to be added, but this was all done for the protection of americans and waiting another three days and waiting another three weeks is something that we dont want to get wrong. President trump is not willing to get this wrong which is why he wants to move forward quickly and protect americans. And just to clear things up, the Trump Organization has business ties in a couple of the countries that were not included including saudi arabia. Did that have any impact on why saudi arabia was not included on the list . Of course not, chuck. Just like i said very clearly. The countries that were chosen in the executive order to protect americans from terrorists were the countries that have already been identified by congress and the Obama Administration. That does not mean that other countries wouldnt be added later to a subsequent executive order, but again, this what were talking about out of 325,000 people trying to find a proverbial needle in a hay stack was accomplished yesterday with a little over 100 people detained for further questioning from these countries. People are moving out of the system and moving forward, this, obviously is going to be, i believe, a very smooth and effective operation for the safety of americans across the country. Move on to a couple of other things. There was an issue on friday, the white house put out a statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day, and there wasnt a mention of jews in the statement of the victims of the holocaust that the majority of them were jewish. Many of us thought it was an error. You guys were there early and then it turns out it was not. John padhoritz, a conservative commentary wrote this. The final solution was aimed solely at the jews. There was no proud way to offer a remembrance of the holocaust that does not offer that simple fact. To, quote, all those who suffers is to scrub the holocaust of its meaning. Mr. Priebus, do you understand why many jews were offended by the white houses decision not to note that the holocaust was about eradicating the jews . I recognize, in fact, obviously, that that was what the holocaust was about, any its a horrible event and obviously, a miserable time in history that we remember here at the white house and certainly will never forget the jewish people that suffered in world war ii, and obviously, still incredible wounds that remain in a time in history that was of great, incredible, horrific magnitude and everyones heart here is impacted by the memory of that terrible time, and so for the record, thats the case. Certainly we dont mean ill will to anybody. Does the president regret . Theres no regret not acknowledging the pain that we acknowledge it. But you didnt we acknowledge the horrible time of the holocaust and what it made from history. Why whitewash jews the statement did. It was horrible. Im telling you now thats the way we feel about it and its a terrible time in history and obviously, i think you know that President Trump has dear family members that are jewish and there was no harm or ill will or offense intended by any of that. Terrible time in history and obviously, i think you know that President Trump has dear family members that are jewish and there was no harm or ill will or offense intended by any of that. But you dont regret the statement . You dont regret the words that were chosen in the statement and the words that were not included . Im trying to clear it up for you. Everyones suffering in the holocaust including obviously, all of the jewish people affected and the miserable genocide that occurred is something that we consider to be extraordinarily sad and something that can never be forgotten and something that if we could wipe it off of the history books we could, but we cant, and its terrible. I dont know what more to tell you. One last question. An executive order, the president reorganized the National Security council and, look, he can put anybody on it that he wants. What im curious about is why is the top intelligence official in the country and the top military official in this country not a fulltime member of the National Security council and the Trump Administration . They are. If you read the order, chuck, theyre invited to be attendees of the Security Council at any time that they want to no, that is not what it said. It said when its necessary essentially it looked like it was invite only. So youre saying every National SecurityCouncil Meeting should include the chairman of the joint chiefs and the director of national intelligence. Theyre included as attendees any time that they want to be included, chuck, if you read the order. So it is not correct then because in the order it says it is as needed. If you read the order theyre invited as attendees to the Security Council at any time. All right. Reince priebus, chief of staff for the president we had a lot of other stuff to get to, but its been a busy morning. Hopefully well see you again soon, sir. You bet. When we come back, how should they respond to President Trump . Go along when they can or scorch opposition . Ill speak to the man who believed he would be Vice President of the United States, senator tim kaine. You can fly across town in minutes or across the globe in under an hour. Whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power.

Nbc news michael steele, and kimberley strassel, and i thought it summed up pretty well in the Washington Post where he said this week was everything Trump Supporters could have hoped for and everything trumps opponents could have feared. Kimberly strassel, what say you . This is a president that will fulfill all of his Campaign Promises and take action. This is also a president who sometimes allows his own missteps to get in the way of his successes. He did a lot of stuff this week that was important and good for the economy, but some of it was overshadowed by back and forth over attendance and crowds and voter fraud and diplomatic tiff he did a lot of stuff this week that was important and good for the economy, but some of it was overshadowed by back and forth over attendance and crowds and voter fraud and diplomatic tiff with mexico and well see if there is any greater discipline going forward. Discipline, tom friedman, i dont know, but then again donald trump doesnt mind the chaos. You know, chuck, one of the points i actually make in my book is from a systems analyst named lynn wells who said you shouldnt think in the
