IN IS NOT THE WAY WE SHOULD DO
THINGS IN AMERICA.
OBAMA'S EDICT.
WHAT DOES THE RULING MEAN AND IS
THE BATTLE OVER OR JUST BEGUN.
JOINING ME NOW, THE HOST OF FOX
NEWS AT NIGHT, IT IS SHANNON
BREAM, THE RESIDENT SUPREME
COURT MISTRESS OF ALL.
SHANNON, I'M REALLY CURIOUS TO
SEE HOW THIS VERSION DIFFERS
FROM THE FIRST VERSION THAT THE
WHITE HOUSE PUT OUT WHICH WAS,
THE ROLLOUT WAS KIND OF BOTCHED.
AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE
NARROWING OF THE CONFINES OF
THIS BAN.
>> YEAH.
SO YOU KNOW, KENNEDY, THIS IS
THE THIRD VERSION, TRAVEL BAN
3.0.
AND IN THIS VERSION WITHIN ONE
OF THE THINGS THEY DID IS THEY
ACTUALLY DID A WORLDWIDE STUDY
INVOLVING HOME LAPD SECURITY,
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
WHAT THEY DID IS GO TO THE
COUNTRIES AND SAY WE NEED EVERY
COUNTRY WHO IS GOING TO SEND
PEOPLE HERE, GIVE US THIS
INFORMATION SO YOU CAN VET THEM
ON YOUR END SO WE CAN VET THEM
ON OUR END.
AND IF YOU CAN'T GIVE US THAT
TROUBLE SPOT BY PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATIONS, WE'RE GOING TO
PUT YOU ON THE LIST.
THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO THE LIST
WE'RE AT TODAY.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN OFF OF
THE LIST BECAUSE THEY'VE
COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS.
AND BASICALLY WHAT THE COURT
SAID IS FEDERAL LAW GRANTS THE
PRESIDENT BROAD DISCRETION TO
SUSPEND THE ENTRY OF ALIENS TO
THE UNITED STATES.
HE LAWFULLY EXERCISED ITS
DISCRETION.
THEY DID NOT GET INTO WHETHER
THEY SHOULD WEIGH ALL OF HIS
TWEETS AND STATEMENTS, WITH
COMPLYING?
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING DIFFERENTLY
NOW AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
THEIR PROCESSES?
>> CHAD IS OFF THE LIST NOW.
IT WAS ON THE LIST BEFORE.
PROVIDE INFORMATION TO HOMELAND
SECURITY AND PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY
FORMALLY IDENTIFY THEM,
PROVIDING INFORMATION ON THEIR
BACKGROUND.
OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T SEEM TO BE
IT'S NOT A PRIORITY FOR THEM.
KENNEDY: SOMALIA AND MEM
KENNEDY: SOMALIA AND YEMEN?
>> THEY'VE GOT OTHER STUFF
THEY'RE WORKING ON.
BUT CHAD HAS GOTTEN OFF OF THE
LIST.
IRAQ WAS ON AN EARLIER VERSION.
THEY WERE TAKEN OFF FOR A NUMBER
OF REASONS.
KENNEDY: WHY WU IRAQ TAKEN OFF?
>> MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT WAS
POLITICAL IN NATURE, THE FACT
THAT THE U.S. IS TRYING TO HELP
THEM RECOVER AFTER YEARS OF
BLOODSHED AND TRAGEDY AND
TERRORISM.
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY A PARTNER
WITH THE U.S. IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT
RELATIONSHIP AND NOT MAKE THEM
THINK THEY'RE TARGETED.
THAT WAS POLITICAL IN NATURE
OTHER THAN CHAD WHICH HAS DONE
THE WORK OF STEPPING UP AND
COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
QUN WHAT IF YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON
FROM A BAD COUNTRY OR A COUNTRY
THAT HAS BEEN DEEMED PROBLEMATIC
OR UNEL.
FUL
UNL
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOG
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOT
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOO
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOT
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOO
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOB
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOD
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOP
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOA
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOE
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOA
UNHELPFUL AND YOU REALLY WANTTOD
COME TO THE UNITED STATES AND
MAKE A BETTER LIFE.
IS THERE ANY WAY OF DOING THAT?
>> THERE ARE WAIVERS THAT YOU
COULD SPECIFICALLY APPLY FOR,
ESPECIALLY PEOPLE SEEKING URGENT
MEDICAL CARE, THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
OBLIGATIONS.
THEY'RE NOT GRANTED EN MASSE BUT
THE DISSENT OBVIOUSLY UPSET A
THAT THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS AND
TWEETS WEREN'T FACTORED IN.
KENNEDY: AND THAT IS AN
INTERESTING PRECEDENT.
SO WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS LEGALLY
CHALLENGED IN THE FUTURE, WHAT
DOES THAT SAY ABOUT SOME OF HIS
IS THAT NOW A NO GO ZONE FOR
BECAUSE WHAT THE COURT DID, THE
MAJORITY HERE, THE FIVE OF THE
5-4 WERE JUST LOOKING AT THE
DID.
THE TEXT OF THE LAW, THE
ADMINISTRATION CALLED IT
PROCLAMATION, OM CALLING IT AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
BASED ON THE FACE VALUE OF THOSE
THINGS THERE ARE LEGITIMATE
REASONS THAT BACK UP WHY THIS
WAS PUT IT OUT.
THERE'S DATA BEHIND IT, CRITERIA
SATISFIED OR NOT SATISFIED.
KENNEDY: AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH
THE ADMINISTRATION WENT THROUGH
THEIR OWN LEGAL EVOLUTION IN
CRAFTING THE THIRD VERSION.
