tomorrow. a great month for lawyers and their ability to bill hours and hours. always a good month for lawyers. exactly. thank you. bill: a lot to get to now with kellyanne conway, senior counselor to president trump live from the north lawn. nice to see you this morning. i know you believe you will win this case later today but did you expect this backlash? perhaps. we re never surprised at the backlash but today is really could be a brief hearing actually because it is based on the tro. we think we will prevail on the merits ultimately but that s not what today s hearing is about. and i think that your coverage has been very fair and full in this regard reminding everybody the ruling is a very broad injunction that states don t str standing to sue. usually as an individual you have to show standing and you have to show harm. i remember that from law school many years ago, bill. it is also i think there hasn t been a great deal of coverage
during the republican primaries. in one network s case eight minutes on terrorism. we re trying to verify this report but it tells you the disproportion. we don t want it to become the new normal that we don t cover tris attacks or the threat of terrorism the way that people bill: i understand the point you re making. 78 terror attacks on a list that went out. some of them i had not heard about but there are others like paris and nice and orlando and san bernardino. they got a lot of coverage, kellyanne. i was in nice and orlando. what is to suggest they were not given ample coverage here? what the president is saying, though, is that the ones you are pointing out we had a high number of casualties and got international coverage and wall-to-wall coverage as well they should have. they remind us that isis is not the jv team that is in retreat as president obama said.
that the president is saying doesn t get a great deal of coverage. frankly, we were looking at a report this morning actually from a left leaning group that showed the network coverage 333 minutes or so on donald trump during the republican primaries. in one network s case eight minutes on terrorism. we re trying to verify this report but it tells you the disproportion. we don t want it to become the new normal that we don t cover tris attacks or the threat of terrorism the way that people bill: i understand the point you re making. 78 terror attacks on a list that went out. some of them i had not heard about but there are others like paris and nice and orlando and san bernardino. they got a lot of coverage, kellyanne. i was in nice and orlando. what is to suggest they were not given ample coverage here? what the president is saying, though, is that the ones you are pointing out we had a high number of casualties
and got international coverage and wall-to-wall coverage as well they should have. they remind us that isis is not the jv team that is in retreat as president obama said. not our determined enemies, whatever the heck that means as hillary clinton referred to them. they were not called radical islamic terrorist. this president will. the rest of the list you re correct. some you hadn t been aware of and you are a news guy. it tells you we re becoming inaourd to some of these attacks that don t lead to mass casualties, thank god, but still don t get the attention. the point the president is making terrorism is real, isis is on the advance, they ve promised at some point they promised to disguise themselves as refugees coming into the u.s. others have promised to continue to do their blood-letting on western soil. we had an attack in turkey very recently. so anybody who thinks that this is just an issue and a movement
pitch. pitching. it s always crazy. people are always thinking, i want to surprise the press with my vice presidential pick. never, ever, ever a good idea. tell them i am going to select and let them know and let them vet it for a couple of days. something like that. and this is exactly the other reason you float names out there is to see if anything surfaces that is a problem. this guy made an extraordinary first impression on america last night in prime time with wall-to-wall coverage. but if you float the name out there and see is there something problematic? i think that they pay a price for floating it out there because this has got a lot of attention. it s the quality of the person he picked. again, people on the left won t like his conservative orientation but this is what donald trump said he would do, nominate someone like this. you can t be surprised. judge neil gorsuch of
