Car vinson to waters off the Korean Missile tests after a series of tests by the north korea government. Meanwhile the russian government ainged by the air strikes on syria stepping up its military presence in the mediterranean just day, ahead of the visit of secretary of state Rex Tillerson to moscow. Hallie jackson is live in West Palm Beach near the president s maralago resort this morning, hallie, good morning. Reporter hi, willie, good morning to you. This morning, new reaction now from north korea about that syrian air strike with the Associated Press reporting its Foreign Ministry calls it absolutely unpardonable. For President Trump, its more aftermath from that military action as Foreign Affairs take center stage. Far from maralago where the president is spending a sunny weekend, an ominous signal in the mediterranean, this rush warship with its own warships at the ready. But the secretary of state says hes not worried about russian retaliation. I see no reason that there would be retaliation since the russians were never targeted in this particular strike. Reporter tillerson, warned by his russian counterpart that the strike, they say, plays into extremis extremists hands but the president is defending hig decision. Officially notifying congress of his rationale behind the military action to protect Vital National security and Foreign Policy interests. Still, some critics want more about the administrations longterm strategy for syria. The president s strike a departure from his America FirstForeign Policy. America first, remember that. Reporter the move triggering backlash from his base. But not from all of his supporters. I know trump, like he said, was America First, but sometimes, that doesnt always work out. Reporter steve bannon, the architect of that populist policy is at rick of getting ousted. A source tells nbc news bannon aint going anywhere. Viewing himself as a protector of the president s Campaign Promises fighting what hes described as the west wing democrats including Jared Kushner. But bannon, kushner and Reince Priebus look to be putting the fighting behind them. Those familiar with the talks to, quote, bury the hatchet, or at least show the president theyre trying. Donald trump apparently pleased with where things ended up. This morning, secretary of state Rex Tillerson is now wheels up to italy, an overseas trip that will include his first facetoface with his russian counterpart when he hetdzs to moscow. That trip, willie, taking on real significance in the light of the u. S. russian relationship. Hallie jackson in florida. Thanks so much. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Good to see you. Good morning, willie. So, donald trump was praised not by all but most republicans and Many Democrats 0 to the response of what they saw as a humanitarian response there going out of the pictures of children dying this week. He also got his nominee confirmed by the senate. A lot of people saying this was a good week for donald trump. What did this week mean to him and his presidency . Well, look, he had a big win on the board. He hadnt had a win on the board for a while and im talking about the nomination of neil gorsuch. It was ugly. And there is some that argue the difference between him winning and losing this election was the Supreme Court vacancy. So that was his win on the board. Look, i think the syria question, i think we dont know if we will look back on this and say this was a great week for him. Or a bad week for him. I think it all depends on what comes next with syria. I think there are a lot more questions and answers here. This is not candidate trump. This was not private citizen trump, who was very skeptical of new innerventions in the middle east. But this was a very, very limited military strike. Its clear this was President Trump looking for something that was more symbolic to send a message. And at the same time, i think essentially say, okay, now, lets have a debate about what we should do about syria Going Forward. I think the best way to look at this is, this is President Trump signaling hes open to being convinced to do more in syria. But, remember, hes still a skeptic on whether doing more will work. As you say this was a pin prick strike. In fact, the area is open for business again. Syria flying sorties there and attacking towns that were attacked earlier this week. What comes next . Thats not a policy, thats a oneday attack that is 50, or 60 tomahawk cruise missiles at once. Rex tillerson is going to moscow this week. What does he tell Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov . The message is, hey, you got to help us to deal with the assad issue. I think thats the message that secretary tillerson wants to carry there. But i do think what were going to see now Going Forward is a more open debate, both inside the Republican Party, which, frankly, is split on this. And inside the Democratic Party which also is split on this. But i think youre going to have an open debate about, number one, should he be given more authority to do more in syria. And number two, i think youre going to see a bunch of hawks inside the Republican Party view this as an opportunity to convince President Trump to have a world view closer to theirs. I think youre going to see almost a rush to convince the president to go further down this road. And it will be interesting to see if President Trump who likes affirmation and got a lot of it this week from certain corners, if he sees this kind of an attack as something that helps him. Lets go inside the white house, youve been covering this pretty closely. Jared kushner, Senior Adviser but also soninlaw to President Trump. Steve bannon that didnt like the fact that United States went after syria the other day. Who wins here . Is it the Jared Kushner wing or is it the steve bannon wing . What emerges as the stronger force on President Trump . You knowed old add damage blood is thicker than water. Whale jared is not technically blood, hes married to blood. If steve bannon wants to stay in that white house, he has to figure out how to coexist with Jared Kushner. Jared kushner is not the one to figure out how to coexist with steve bannon. Ultimately, thats the issue here. Its about more steve bannon figures out if he down plays the public persona can he still win the influence of President Trump over time. Does he have the patience to keep his powder dry to be there . As we know, he gets tired of ar aides every now and then, or do you stay in the outer circle and hope you get brought back in . Corey lewandowski has found his way to stick around. So bannons got to figure out a way to coexist with Jared Kushner.

Im very excited because dylans here to whip through the highs and lows of the week. We got chairs now. Weve got chairs. Its all different. The first high goes to high fashion in a war zone, Jared Kushner, Senior Adviser and soninlaw to President Trump this week introducing a new category of combat cocktail attire. Kushner made a trip with the chairman of joint chiefs of staff to meet the troops with military leaders there. Good for him for going but kushners look struck observer as as eye bit formal. Going with the contact kiss and a personalized flap jacket to pull it together. I think he stepped off the plane and threw on his gear. It just looked like he was on a cruise. Thats probably what he wears. The first logos to the illconceived attempt by a major soft drink key to coop the social protest. In an ad with Kendall Jones of kardashian fame, pepsi sent a message between police and good looking americans holding protest signs. We are the joneses were going to shine now were the movement this generation the public reaction to the ad was swift and unkind. Social media had a field day accusing pepsi of trivializing political movements many of the memes placed pepsi like this one in Tiananmen Square with that. And pepsi pulled the ad and apologized saying clearly, we missed the mark. A man speaking out approached the citys mayor, reached into his pocket and pulled out a pepsi. Then he walked away cracking one himself. Any attention is good attention . But not in this case. I just dont think this one worked. Are you a pepsi drinker . I dont drink much soda. The next one goes to the german couple that unwittingly became the most famous pair of dancers in the world this week. 70yearold dietmar and his lovely wife elia were participating in a dance competition and they threw down. They won numerous others in the boogiewoogie category. Look at the moves. They were stunned to learn their routine had been seen by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Dietmar saying, quote, we are quite flabbergasted with the video. I wonder if those are their original knees. I have a feeling they were replacements. The next logos to the depth one baby in mexico plunged during his baptism. This aggressive baptismal made the priest and baby star as the baby got a full face down dunking in the water during that blessed sacrament. One person on twitter saying it reminds her of the way wings are dipped in ranch dressing. Did you do that with cal . He had a little drip on his forehead, that was head. The next high goes to excellence. Excellence in the field of promposal, do you know about these . Where you go to Great Lengths to ask someone to your prom. If you saw la la land, you know it opens on a freeway. A student at Arcadia High School went to lengths to ask emma stone to his prom. You go sainsane emma stone please be the one nice work jacob. Stone did decline graciously saying shes working in london but called it the greatest proposal shes ever received. He kind of looked like a young ryan gosling. And the final logos to the missing ball trick. A chicago cubs swings and bounces out of a hit that hits yadier molina. Yadier cant find the ball. He looks all around before realizing it stuck to his protector. A little extra pine tar on there or something. The cubs hit a big home run and went on to win the game. Thats a lot of pine tar on your chest protector. Remember that velcro thing with the ball . Yeah, you could catch it. So good to have you back. Coming up next, our sunday sitdown with Ra
