And abcs eva pilgrim is at a Border Crossing for us this morning in upstate new york. Reporter dan and paula, this is one of the crossings people have been using illegally. You can see here the road is closed. Just on the other side, the Royal CanadianBorder Patrol is waiting for anyone that might come this way.

Eva, thank you. For more, lets bring in jon karl, our chief white house correspondent, who will be hosting this week later this morning. Jon, good morning. Lets start with the president s meetings today with the potential National Security advisers. Why has this job been so hard for donald trump to fill . The biggest problem is he had a guy he wanted for the job. He mentioned it at his press conference on thursday. Admiral bob harward. And he said he didnt want to take the job. He said it was personal reasons. Theres also certainly concern another person he was looking at, david petraeus, he pulled himself out because he was concerned about whether or not he would be able to appoint his own staff at the National Security council. And i gotta tell you. Theres a lot of talk of basically loyalty oaths that you have to take to be in this administration. There was somebody in a senior position at the department of housing and urban development who was walked out after getting the job because it had been found out he had written things, said things critical of donald trump during the campaign. And you talk about possible chaos at the white house. We have seen discontent and chaos to say the least at the town halls across the country. Many voicing concerns about the trump administrations connections with russia. So whats next in the congressional investigation into this matter . You have the house and Senate Intelligence communities looking into this. The investigation that seems particularly serious is the one in the Senate Intelligence committee. One challenge, those committees do much of their work behind closed doors because they deal with so much classified information. So its still up clear how much of this investigation will be in the public where well all see it. Lets talk about the rally yesterday. Where we saw the president , as i said before, really, clearly enjoying his time with his supporters. He was apparently trying to change the subject after all of the turmoil we have seen in the last couple of weeks in washington. Do you think he succeeded . Well, i dont know about that, dan. I think theres another reason for this. Certainly, he wanted to change the subject. Certainly he wanted to get on a more positive note here. But theres also a personal psychological thing going on with the president. He loves this stuff. He gets energized by it. And, you know, the white house can be an isolating, maybe even lonely place, especially when everybody outside in washington seems to be out to get you. There he is, back in campaign mode. Among adoring fans. I think it was a part about for his own for himself, getting the mojo back to a degree. At least he succeeded. Yes, i think so. Jon karl, we love having you on. Thank you very much. I want to remind everybody, jon has a big show coming up, including vice admiral robert harward, the man who turned down President Trumps offer to be his new National Security adviser. Plus, former Trump Campaign manager cory lewandowski. And robby mook, former clinton Campaign Manager facing off about President Trumps first month in office.
