Let s allow the people who came here legally to this country to get out of detention, allow them to go to the cleveland clinic, for instance, as this doctor was banned from doing so. and let s take a look at this entire situation. so you think the senate, the congress needs to take a look at this and get involved in it? we ought to be part in it. we have been working on this. we passed legislation in this regard. and we had bipartisan legislation in 2016 that didn t pass. it passed the house with big numbers that went a little further in terms of some of the procedures. so we need to work together on it. so you want the stay to stay. i m okay with the stay and i think we ought to also improve our national security by improving the screening process of these people coming into our country. let s turn to another matter of national security. one that i know you re eager to talk about, and that has to do with russia. piers morgan tonight president trump spoke by phone with vlad
Meeting started back in the george h.w. bush administration. you have always said the joint chairman of the national chiefs, the director of national intelligen intelligence. in the current iteration, they will come in as necessary but not as regular members. i should also note that you re putting in someone who is not senate confirmed, bannon, and taking out two people, the chairman of the joint chiefs and director of national intelligence, who are senate confirmed. it raises question about whose voices are going to be heard most prominently for the key national security decisions of the country. let s talk more about this with republican senator rob portman of ohio. senator, thanks so much for being here. i want to start with the executive order that president trump signed into law on friday. three of your fellow republicans now came out and said that the order goes too far. let me show you the statement from senator sasse which reads in part, while not technically a muslim ban, th
Do you know? jake, we are trying to get a clear picture. there certainly do appear to be people still detained even though judge donnelly s decision last night was quite clear that the action by the president was stayed and people should not be detained. we re still not clear that the trump administration has honored that decision by a federal judge. now there have been times in the nation s history when detainees not detainees but refugees or immigrants from a specific country were put on hold, suspended. barack obama did it with iraqis for six months. jimmy carter did it with iranians during that hostage crisis. how is this different? well, i don t know the details of those orders but i can tell you this much. you have seven nations that are included with no criteria whatsoever. again, someone may already be a permanent resident of the united states and may have served in the military, according to the executive order, they can be detained and sent back for no

Nixon s lead. no, i never talked to a portrait. afraid they might talk back to me. what might these presidents of years past say to their newest club member. always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don t win unless you hate them. and then you destroy yourself. wisdom from the ages. hope you re enjoying your new house, mr. president. thanks for watching, fareed zakaria gps is next. you don t let anything keep you sidelined. that s why you drink ensure.
