mcgahn. he says that sessions made a huge error, he s very frustrated. a couple people have said one of the few times they ve seen him get genuinely angry as opposed to the blufter that we know the president is prone to was about jeff sessions. he s upset about the russia recusal situation and feels angry and hamstrung about the fact that the executive order that the president himself signed related to a ban on travel a temporary ban, quote/unquote, from muslim majority nations was struck down by the court. this was within the first week of the administration and set the tone going forward and in the president s mind, jeff sessions is tied to everything. lastly, your colleagues just broke some news which is fascinating about jim comey asking jeff sessions not to be left alone again with the president or that he didn t want to be left alone with the president. it s quite striking. essentially you have the fbi director concerned about the position apparently that the presi ....
this is something the president predicted was right was never a legal basis for this, correct? president trump won the legal argument today. and the supreme court came out on his side and lifted the stay that the appeals court put in place. but the legal argument was never the strongest argument against the ban. it s the policy argument. really bad policy. tucker: will you concede that there was a legal argument against it, that the left as a group made and it was that a single judge in hawaii had more power over america s foreign policy and control of america s borders than the president did and the supreme court today said that s absurd. it wasn t just hawaii, tucker. there were a number of court cases in a number of courts that stayed this travel order. and it was a close call legally. it was a close call for the appeals court that upheld the stay. it was also a close call for the supreme court. tucker: the president has got a right to make judgments like this and enfor ....

that s why we have a president. you will concede that. i think that s a valid argument and that s the argument that was made. that s one of the arguments that persuaded the supreme court today. although, keep in mind, that the court only lifted the stay. it will hear the merits of the case in october. but, yes, you are right. but, as i said, the stronger argument against this travel ban is it s really bad policy. it doesn t accomplish the goal which is no-to-make america safer. tucker: it doesn t. you would argue the counter case that the more immigrants that we have from say somali coming into the country the safer we are? what point are you making. what i would argue on policy grounds this ban is both too broad and not broad enough. let me explain. here s why it s too broad. it denies muslims from six predominantly muslim countries. tucker: let me stop and correct you. it makes no reference to religion at all. it doesn t badge muslims. it bans people who live in six coun ....
