World. Plus, why President Trump is once again taking aim at the obama white house. They didnt know what the hell they were doing. This is mtp daily and it starts right now. Good evening. Im katy tur in for chuck todd. Welcome to mtp daily. We begin the fallout from the president s frenzied, fuming tweet. After pledging sol dwart the u. Krs, the president rimmed into the mayor, he tweeted, pathetic excuse. He had to think fast on his no reason to be alarmed statement. That is the second nile two days that President Trump has mischaracterized the mayors comments that there is, quote, no reason to be alarmed. Khan wasnt talk about the terror attack. He was talking about increased Police Presence. Just like terrorists constantly finding new ways to disrupt us, harm us, attack us, the police and all of russ finding new ways to keep us safe. Londoners will see an increased Police Presence today and over the course of the next few days. No reason to be alarmed. The white house was pressed on this issue today during press briefing. Their the president directly misrepresented what the mayor of london said. I dont think thats true. I think the media wants to spin it that way. Hes saying there was no reason to be alarmed on an attack on the city . Do you think thats what he was saying . The point is there is a reason to be alarmed. We have constant attacks going. On not just there but across the globe and we have to start putting National Security and Global Security at an all time high. President trump has been very clear, thats his priority and he is not away from it. The president responded with a series of tweets about his travel ban which is currently held up in the courts. Today he said people, the lawyers, the courts can call it whatever they want. To me it is a travel ban. This goes against what was previous said about his policy. This is not a travel ban. This is a temporary pause allows to us better review the refugee visa and vetting system. Part of what were trying to do is make sure people actually understand what happened, what the process was and what the order actually does. When we use words like travel ban, that misrepresents what it is. It is not a travel ban. Today white houses argument seemed much more vague. I dont think the president cares what you call it. Whether you call it a ban or a restriction. He cares that we call it National Security and we take steps to protect the people of this country. Mr. Trump slammed his own Justice Department on twitter saying they should have stayed with the original travel ban. Not the watered down politically correct version they submitted to the Supreme Court. The president spinld revised travel ban. He did not have to. But he wasnt done. He then seemed to undercut the purpose saying in any event, we are extreme vetting people coming into the u. S. To keep our country safe. The courts are slow and political. These statements are going to make it more difficult for the administrations lawyers, as they argue their case in court. But heres the bottom line. The president mischaracterized the london mayor, turned a terror attack into a political talking the point and disseminated information with the unfolding tragedy using a drudge report headline. This comes after the president recently called an incident in the philippines terror attack. But authorities later said it was likely a robbery attempt. The Associated Press had a brutal lead fact the president. President trump cant be counted on to give Accurate Information to americans when violent rackets unfolding abroad. So what happens if there is an attack here at home . Im joined by the senior National Security analyst who was bush 43s National Security adviser. He is also a Senior Adviser at the center for strategic and international studies. Thank you for joining us. I really do want to focus on the issue of trust. That ap lead really got down to it. The president is tweeting out unverified reports from drudge in the moments after a terror attack, before the uk even comes out and blames it only. If hes talking about the philippines and calling on it terror, when the philippines said it was likely a robbery attack, do you trust the president if he comes out and gives a statement on twitter . Well, i think the problem is, the president acting as the first witness in the first, providing the first testimonial as to whats happening. One of the first things you learn in the white house is you have to take breath, a breather to understand what facts are unfolding. Theres always the fog of war whenever an attack is unfolding or a crisis is emerging. So the president being the first fact witness is naefr good idea. And you always counsel a president not to get ahead of the facts or to convey things if a way that he will to have retract later. Ultimately you want the confidence of the american government, the government has to be trusted in a time of crisis to explain whats sxhapg frankly the president s judgment that has to be front and center when he asks the country to sacrifice or even in the worstcase scenario, to go into conflict. So preserving that confidence is critical. You dont want to whittle that away needlessly. Do you think the president trusts his own National Security visors . Does he trust the Intelligence Community . He tweets out a drudge report headline. He should have the best information of anybody in this country. He has a whole National Security team behind him that are in effect talking to Intelligence Officers overseas. What does that say to you . Does that say that he doesnt trust them . Or is he trying to capitalize politically by tweeting out scare tactics . Well, i think unfortunately, it seems like the president hasnt fully realized that the bureaucracy, the diplomatic core, the Intelligence Community, the Law Enforcement community, his National Security apparatus and his closest advisers are there to serve him and the executive, and to give him the best information possible to tee up the best options in a time of crisis, and frankly, then to help him make good decisions. He seems to at times undermine the credibility of his own actors. I think he obviously has his own voice and wants to get it out there via twitter. And it is obviously in furtherance of a political narrative that is to the president s advantage. I would hope the president realizes that the advisers he brought on, that lead to agencies intended to serve him, are there to aid him and the country in furtherance of the best decision possible. And if i were advising him, i would say, take the best advice of the great advisers youve brought on board. Your cabinet secretaries, folks line h. R. Mcmaster, for whom i have the greatest deal of affection and respect. And listen to them and take a breather. Especially in a motel of crisis like this where an ally like the british need to hear the trust and confidence of their most important ally, and where we dont need to get into a political fist 5 30 with the mayor of london. Can Americans Trust president . I think we need to. And i think we need president to succeed. He is our president afterall. Do you trust the president . Well, i think we need to look for signs that he is worthy of that trust. And i think part of it is relying on his key advisers, his key cabinet secretaries, and that he is actually listening to the information being provided to him. I want to trust the president. I want to support him. And i think we need him to successes succeed. Otherwise we have a crisis of confidence that will be very dangerous in a moment of crisis for the United States. If we were to have a terrorist attack in the homeland or god for bid we were to go to conflict with a country like north korea. I hate to put you on the spot, juan, but that was not quite a yes. I think we need him to succeed. Thats my bottom line. Thank you. Appreciate it. Lets bring in the panel. Amy holmes, bill frist, analyst, elise jordan has worked for the state department, the National Security council and the rand paul campaign, thank you so much. Juan was being diplomatic, to put it lightly. He had a hard time saying yes, i do trust the president. Well, the president hasnt shown himself to be worthy of trust by putting out so much false information and by being an embarrassment to his response in the attacks in london and showing a side of his character that really makes you question the human, basic human d. C. Enspi we should have to our strong friends and allies. What do you make of him going after mayor sadiq khan . Well, the mayor had tweeted a year ago something unflat ordering the mr. Trump. Is it appropriate to go after the mayor at this time . I think the important point was made with political capital. Thats something that is very precious and very easily whittled away. On the question of trust, i would say there are a lot of voters who do trust that President Trump realizes the threat facing the United States of america. The previous president called isis jv. It grew under his watch and a lot of people didnt trust the previous president when it came to the severe National Security threat. Why does it always devolve into how you couldnt trust the last president . I think youre asking a question of trust that involves a number of things including trusting someones judgment in terms of their political priorities. And i think President Trump prioritizes National Security in a way that can be trusted. What is your take . Im just speechless. This has gone beyond lunacy. When a person has, when you cant trust a person and they cant control what come out of their mouth, they usually get help and the person in the white house is not getting that help. When you have a city thats attacked, to misrepresent the mayor of that citys remarks is recommend rehencible and disrusting. I dont know how you can defend defending that. When people say the president should be trusted and the voters trust him, look hes done. Look what he said. Like iley in a city like any number of people and there are times we have to go report, whether it is a times square car accident, we dont know if it is a terrorist attack, or youre hearing mayor explain whats going on. You need Accurate Information to know whats going on. To have the president tweet out sources, after he calls on supporters, that reporters are the enemy of the people. It sounds like, if he were to come out and Say Something after a terrorist attack, you would have a hard time trusting what he said. I dont think we should be discussing if we had a terrorist attack here. Why not . Thats what this is all about. Fwhs terrorist attacks. It is almost as if theres some goading going on here if we had thats not something anyone should wish no one is wishing form. Well, there was discussion yesterday that President Trump was provoking a terrorist attack. We noted these extreme measures. I think we can have a reasonable rational discussion over policies. I have disagreements with the president. The president himself said, if there is a terror attack, he would blame the courts. The president goes into these theoreticals all the time. Well, i dont like the theoreticals. I live in this city and i lived here during 9 11. When were suggesting the president is provoking a terrorist attack which happened yesterday in media discussions and i thought was totally irresponsible. You could argue that his policy tool is the travel ban, as he calls it. Thats what he wants to do to mitigate the risk. This morning he undercut his own ban to such a degree by his own lack of discipline that that measure will never pass. Hold. On only note. George conaway, Kellyanne Conways husband who was looking for the judges role and has recently pulled himself out. Tweeted this morning these tweets referring to the president s tweets, maybe some people feel better but they wont help osg get five votes in scotus which is what actually matters. Sad. He follows up by saying he supports the president and his wife who works in the administration. But then he said ultimately, these tweets are going to make it very difficult to argue their case. I trust and respect his legal judgment. He supported the policy. Thats why he supports the tweets. We know that a hawaii judge tried to put a block on extreme vetting. They said they have in it place but im wondering what it is. We dont know. We know the press secretary was asked about that and she said that should be referred to the department of justice. We know about a hawaii judge tried to put a ban on the administrations attempts on extreme vetting. Dont worry, theres more to come. Up next, well talk to james inhofe. All the time. Am i going to pass away like my mom did . And so you know this is something thats important. Losing my mom to Heart Disease and then being diagnosed myself. Its like a war were trying to fight against these diseases. Resilience is in my dna. I wont die like my mom. Its a big challenge, but the challenge in itself is what keeps me going. I could really make a difference in these peoples lives. That would be my dream. Hi. And i know that we have phonaccident forgiveness. Gent, so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight four weeks without the car. Okay, yup. Good night. With accident forgiveness your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Switching to allstate is worth it. Advocates say it would speed up the process. The president talked about the plan this afternoon in the white house east room and used the opportunity to criticize the Obama Administrations past efforts at reform. The Previous Administration spent over 7 billion trying to upgrade the system. And totally failed. Honestly, they didnt know what the hell they were doing. It may look like the president was signing a bill or an executive order today but actually it was just a set of principles for congress to act. On nothing binding. The administration homes to attract bipartisan support in congress for its infrastructure package. Something democrats so far have not yet committed to.

Joining me now, jails inhofe who serves on the committee. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. I want to get your reaction first to a lead from the Associated Press today. Well throw it up on the screen. President donald trump cant be counted on to give Accurate Information to americans when violent acts are unfolding abroad. Do you agree or disagree, senator . As to whether or not that should be shared with the public . No. As to whether or not the public can count on the president of the United States to give Accurate Information. I think thats true that he cant. The president of the United States has another function. That is to be careful and not to say anything that might disclose something that our intelligence is working on right now that might end up apprehending terrorists. So he has to be a little careful with that. Do you agree with him tweeting out an unverified judge report headline in response to the attacks instead of, say, pausing . I think youre katy, i didnt know about that so youre asking me something im not sure of. Are you in general supportive of tweeting out unverifieds headline . Well, i think what this president has done has gone straight to the people because he was not getting fair treatment from the media. Thats you guys. So i cant blame him for doing that. I understand your argument there, and that you were making respectfully, the president can go directly to the public with information that he gets from his National Security council. Not necessarily from an unverified drudge headline. Thats still the media, after all. Ill let him be the judge of what he wants to use his communications for. Okay. Why do you believe that americans should believe this president . Given the track record . And i could name a bunch of things that have happened recently. For instance him saying there was terror in the philippines before the philippines could figure out what it was. Now theyre saying it was a robbery gone bad. There are a number of different occasions where he said information that hasnt quite turned out to be true. I think you can say that about anyone. But this is president of the United States. It is not just anybody. Katy, im fully aware of that. You have never said this about a democrat president. And i think it is just fair that you give the guy a chance. When you say he hasnt done a lot of things, hes done almost everything he said he would do. Im very excited about the fact that he did, actually did some 47 regulations that he felt strongly about.
