Antisemiticism in america. The president naming h. R. Mcmaster as his new National Security adviser, and the active duty officer assumed the role with several Foreign Policy changes under way. First off will be President Trumps new executive order which is nearing completion, we are told, and now is the white house going to change the travel ban to address the concerns of the federal Appeals Court and will that be enough to satisfy political critics, and they are mounting questions as to why President Trump doesnt go after antisemitism in america like he does other things he says he is against. Lets start with correspondent joe johns at the white house. Reporter good morning, chris. Likely to be a lot on the agenda today. The white house hoping to get off on the right foot with a meeting of the National Security council and a new National Security adviser, a man who is highly regarded and who didnt have a choice in turning down the job. Hes a man of tremendous talent and experience. Reporter President Donald Trump unveiling mcmaster as his new National Security adviser. We are very honored to have him. Mcmaster is a veteran of the first gulf war, iraq and afghanistan, and a widely respected military strategist. I would just like to say what is privilege it is to continue to serve our nation. Known as a creative thinker, mcmaster holds a phd in military history, and the pick drawing praise from both sides of the spectrum. John mccain calling mcmaster an outstanding choice, a man of genuine intellect, character and ability. Mcmaster takes the helm of a National Security council one week after Michael Flynn was forced to resign for misleading the Vice President about his communications with the russian ambassador. I was disappointed to learn that the facts that have been conveyed to me by general flynn were inaccurate. President trumps first choice to replace flynn was replaced by bob harward, but he turned down because of family reasons, and he was concerned about being able to form his own team, but as an active duty officer, mcmaster did not have the option of saying no thanks. And it will be interesting to see how mcmaster will work with steve bannon who sits on the National Security council. The president has said very clearly the new nsa director will have total and complete say over the makeup of the nsc, and all of the components of the nsc. Reporter the president expected a short while from now to take a trip over to the smithsonian africanamerican museum, and he will be accompanied by, among others, ben carson. We will bring you the visit when it happens. The white house is set to unveil the new immigration order this week. New guidelines for Law Enforcement will be announced today by the department of Homeland Security that is already a material difference than the last time. This time we are seeing that this order is being put through the vetting and coordination that was missing the last time. Thats exactly right. So we are expecting to see two big pieces of news earlier this week on immigration. First the department of Homeland Security is set to release formal guidance to federal agencies later this morning, explaining just exactly how to implement the president s executive orders on immigration and border security. We know from earlier drafts of the memos we saw over the weekend that we can expect to see language detailing an exp d expanded process of expedited deportations of undocumented immigrants, and a deputizing, if you will, of local Police Officers to serve as immigration officers, and tightening of standards of asylum seekers. Interesting the Trump Administration is expected to leave in place, at least for now, we are hearing, president obamas program known as daca, and that provides protection for children brought here separately, and then theres new versions of the travel ban. Some are wondering what are the key differences the second time around. The head of Homeland Security said the rollout of the new ban will include a phasein period instead of the automatic switch over we saw last time, and its safe to assume green card holders will not be affected by the ban, and sources tell us the White House Councils office is taking a lead role in drafting to avoid legal problems like in the last go around. One critical issue, alisyn, is going to be what happens to foreign visitors, like somebody on a foreign visa. Big question, and other questions as well. We will have to see all the details as they play out, laura. Theres lots to discuss. Lets bring in our panel. We have matt lewis, and senior column northwest at the daley beasts, and thank you to all of you. Lets talk about the new National Security adviser, general mcmaster, who has a highly regarded representation and history, but the big question is how much autonomy and power and access to the president will he have . The reason we wonder about that is because other candidates turned down the job because they felt that somehow they would be eclipsed by, say, steve bannon . I think this is a great pick, and this is a guy the stereotypes of guys that study war, either they are tough and macho guys that want to go in and break things and kill people, or intellectuals in ivory tower thinking of a theory, and he combines the two things, and he is a tough guy, and a smart guy when it comes to count counter insurgency. How does it fit in . You never know until you get a group of people together who will emerge as a leader and how it will shake out. I will say this, i am hardened by the fact that we are sending tough generals into the room to deal with steve bannon. If steve bannon can walk all over somebody, such as general mcmaster and general kelly, then he is quite the alpha dog if he pulls that off. Interesting how in the analysis of the effectiveness in mcmaster, we leave out the name of the president and how he fits into the dynamic. In light of what we just saw with flynn, by the way, we still dont know why flynn was forced to resign. The more facts that come out, it seems like he was made some kind of political scapegoat, and what does that inform us as to the challenge of mcmaster . The challenge will be to put into action some of his impressive background. I have not heard his name before, and one of the things that comes up in researching him is a list of names he comes up with subordinates, and it includes the art of war, and the memoirs from jgeneral grant. And he contributes to a long line of history and he knows he is stepping into a very fraught situation, where he has a commanderinchief, and on the other hand, he has a lot of history. Rather than tinlcontinu continu back to inaction, this is a person that is part of a important tradition, and if he brings that to the table he will carry a more moral force than any of the political people there. Its interesting to think about what matt raised, and thats the dynamic in the oval office. What do we think about how he comes into that pecking order . At the end of the day it matters if trump listens to his advisers, and we know he listened to bannon and we know he listened to flynn, and to get his ear will be the biggest challenge. Now he is a general and trump does like to surround himself with generals. He said during the campaign he said he does not like to listen to them, and he said the best example off the top of my head is general mattis and the issue of torture, and he said torture is not something that works and trump repeated, well, you know, he says it doesnt work so it doesnt work. In the way that mattis can earn his respect and have his ear is going to be the biggest challenge when you do have, perhaps, competing people, like steve bannon, who has not shown a willingness to, lets say, disseminate power in the white house. Bannon is an x factor. Most of what we hear is hearsay and hes not talking to the president and the president wants people to believe he is setting the tone from the top, but what do you see in the contrast between what we assume is bannons agenda and what we have seen these big dogs doing on their own, whether its pence going out there and saying things about russia, and i never learned the president say in terms of huing to logical customs of putins invasion, and taking on the responsibility of what nato should be, and kelly going over to palestine and talking about what a twostate solution to be. With steve bannon, what always happens is, we need to make a bogeyman to a certain degree, and karl rove was bushs brain, and maybe we are attributing more to steve bannon than what he deserves. If you are going to have spokesman and leaders that go around the country astepbsively speaking on your behalf, and the question is do they have credibility. I think its very clear when he says were not going to torture and do waterboarding, and trump says we are not going to do that anymore, right . General mattis says we are not going to take their oil, and i think President Trump will go along with that, and my concern is mike pence, is he out of the loop, and when he goes to nato and says something, i dont know that that really represents Donald Trumps what donald trump is going to do and thats a problem. If he flew flynn under the bus because pence was insulted by what he didnt know, and that was a high price. He mislead his vp . How do we know that . Thats what the president keeps saying, and thats the explanation he said i was fine with the conversations flynn was having, and the fbi says he was not misleading. Pence was not on the same page. If thats true. And we are just getting word right now that the state Department Just confirmed that secretary of state tillerson and secretary kelly will be heading to mexico tomorrow, and thats interesting, obviously with all the president has been saying about mexico, and we are expecting this new and resized version of the travel ban to be coming out at some point this week. There are a lot of pieces in flux right now. What do you think their message to mexico will be . We see a pattern in the first 33 days of donald trump jumping out with facts that may or may not be accurate, and he does it with sweden and australia, and he does it with the first round of the travel ban, and then his people come behind him to try and clean the whole thing up. I would interpret them trying to clean up, and this is going to be, i think, a pattern that repeats itself over and over again, and thats because getting to chriss point, theres no doctrine there or Foreign Policy doctrine, and theres a series of tweets that can change at a moments notice, and we are having a lot of need for cleanup, which is what we are seeing. The man tasked with following the biggest elephant in the gop, not always a easy job. Thank you very much, panel. Talk to you soon.

Blue apron. Increase in threats of antis l sesepl teuz many. There have been nearly 70 threats this year, and go online and research for yourself, you will see thats high. Over the weekend, vandals damaged dozens of head stones at a cemetery in missouri, and the white house put out a statement. The president has made it abundantly clear that these actions are unacceptable. Has he made it abundantly clear . Lets test that. We have a former republican senator of pennsylvania, rick santorum, and christine quinn, the new York City Council speaker and president of women in need. Rick santorum, if the president of the United States does not like something i say in this segment, theres a better than 50 chance he will tweet about it and say it is wrong and fake, but nothing about this increase in violence and threats towards the Jewish Community, why . I dont know why he has not tweeted. I wish he would. Its a legitimate thing to tweet about. Lets look at the president s record and compare it with what we have seen in the last eight years. Number one the president has stood by israel in ways that president obama has not and stood solidly with the state of israel, and his daughter, who is jewish, she has been clear about these things, and thats an important thing coming out of the white house. This is why you hear about, quote, fake news, and for eight years the Obama Administration sat by and said nothing about the increasing antisemitism coming out of colleges, and president obama said and did nothing and no comment from the National News media, not a single wood. Christine is shaking her head that is not true. I will give you the two wrongs that make a right analysis, which, by the way, i dont accept. You said it quickly and you moved on and your voice went its an outrage that you are pointing to this lets bring in christine quinn. You hear his point, in light of you not saying anything in the last eight years, what trump is doing is not bad. The campaign is over. Campaigning about obama, they are now the United States, and its what he does now that matters. Well, you know, why isnt he striving to be the best versus comparing to somebody who he might disagree with, and he says he did not do enough. This is a man, lets not forget, that failed to mention jewish people in his holocaust official statement. So he does not have a good track record. I agree with senator santorum, there were things that were troubling at College Campuses, and did the white house bury them . They were debates and discussions about whether groups could come on to campus that had a point of opinion that i disagree with and it became a passionate First Amendment debate, and i am not in any way saying what was said at times, which is antisemitic was okay, and we are talking hear, and that was a debate about the First Amendment that people said inappropriate things, and this is a case of bomb threats, violence and desecrating se cemeteries, and i dont understand the school of thought, and if you think president obama did not do enough, then do more. This is not about being compared to your predecessor, and its about defining yourself and does trump want to be somebody defined as somebody that fights that. Hillary clinton put out a tweet about it. Lets see what she says. Online attacks are so troubling and they must be stopped, and everybody must speak out starting with potus. I agree with this and i agree the president should be more forceful, but lets be honest, he has been incredibly forceful for his support for israel, and much more than obama, and theres a harmony between the state of israel and the United States and the white house that we have not seen in eight years. This president is solidly and squarely behind the jewish people when it comes to israel. I agree with you. He should say more about this. He should Say Something about what is going on continually on College Campuses, and be that as it may, lets say you are right. You know what, rick wait, wait, you just said, and we can come on another segment and have a conversation about that, and i agree with you, what was said was wrong, but it is different than threats of violence, but you just said president obama has been great for israel and trump . Sorry, President Trump has been great for israel and jewish people in israel, and what about jewish people in the United States and what about all americans that dont want anybody attacked violently for any reason, and nonetheless in the cancer that is a hate crime. I just dont understand, particularly since you are saying that he has tried so hard to have a deeper relationship with israel, why he wouldnt speak out . It just doesnt make any sense. It calls into question hypocrisy on the part of his administration, and maybe, i dont know, hes not speaking out because he thinks it will upset some of his base, who, in fact, have espoused not through President Trump but their own, antisemitic beliefs and statements. Wait a minute. Donald trumps base is more pro jewish people than anybody. If you talk to anybody in the pro Israel Movement and they will tell you the bedrock of that is the evangelical Christian Community in the country, and the folks who have been walking away are liberal jews who are walking away are not the christians. This is an attack on jews in america. So if the president feels in such a deep kinship with the jewish state of israel, why wont he speak out . Statements not made by him or Vice President , but people at rallies supporting him, you heard discriminatory statements about many people, including jewish americans. You cant erase his inaction, and not
