suspended. in m others passengers have to undergo screening. reporter: well the trump administration has unveiled travel ban 3.0. new travel restrictions on certain frn nationals from eight countries, chad, iran, libya, north korea, somalia, syri venezuela and yemen as a replacement to the central portion of that travel ban which expired on sunday morning. the new restrictions vary by country and include a phased-in approach. so most of the limitations you woept see go into effect until mid next month on october 18. for the last three months have have used an executive order to ban foreign nationals from entering unless they have a so-called bona fide relationship. individual with the that exception, like a grandparents, can still apply for visas to
tougher sanctions on chinese banks. as always, the administration very rarely talks about that until those go into effect. now, if we see maybe treasury secretary mnuchin walk out, that will be our signal, the expectation is not that that will happen, however. the other big story, of course, is why you have matt bradley on the show, the terror incident in london. this will likely come up with general mcmaster. given the president s tweet this morning, peter, about scotland yard perhaps having had a sign that this may have been coming and prime minister theresa may s sharp words for her saying speculation is not particularly helpful in a situation like this. thank you for tossing to that sound bite. let s play the sound bite. this is from theresa may a short time ago. prime minister donald trump has intervened to say this was carried out by people who scotland yard had in its sights.
west wing of the white house or not? shannon: so many different things they could do. they could say we re going to vote the lift the ban. the lower courts that have said the ban can t go into effect or do something different which is actually hear the entire case on the merits. normally that would happen in the fall. nothing has been normal about this travel ban case. we ll see what happens. we would expect justice gorsuch will be part of the voting process. they haven t given us word this morning in the orders list. it doesn t mean the court can t make a decision. it has been fully briefed. we just wait for the court. bill: you were sitting wednesday and during a commercial break you said hemmer, i think there is a chance we could have a retirement on monday. just a chance. now, justice kennedy is 80 years old. he will be 81 in about a month and he moved up his annual retirement party by about a year? shannon: we don t want to call it that. the clerks party.
reporter: the travel restrictions last only 90 days, and the court won t hear the case until october. by then the case could be dismissed as moot, no longer a live controversy. with me justice correspondent pete williams. pete, looking sort of at the tea leaves, according to your report, you ve got alito, gorsuch and talmadge who said they would have the executive order go into effect. we ve got to pick off two more. we don t know how justice kennedy and roberts, more likely to be conservative on the court, we don t know what they re going to say. reporter: true. but the fact that the court agreed at least partly to grant the stay and take the appeal means that they re certainly skeptical of the lower court rulings that had two very different approaches. the fourth circuit court of appeals was perhaps the one that may be the most controversial. it looked at president trump s campaign statements and said, based on a long series of those,
has an even number of justices affirm the lower court ruling. they don t establish a national precedent the way a supreme court opinion with five justices establishes a national precedent. but if this ruling, today s ruling, upholding the stay is appealed to the supreme court and the court splits 4-4, the stay will remain in effect. i don t want to complicate this. but remember, there are other challenges to the trump executive order in many other juicer dictions in the united states. so those cases are going to start building through the system. i think the supreme court will have to address this sooner rather than later. given the magazinitude of the ruling, the supreme court is going to get this case at some
