you're live in the cnn news room, i'm dana bash in washington. president trump is facing his most crucial week yet since moving into the white house. his first speech before a joint session in congress, that's squhuft two days a way. plus a brand-new edition of his controversial travel ban will come out any time. and he will attend a black tie event, the governor's ball. he tweeted, big denver with governors, tonight at the white house. and the academy awards, with millions watching, will anybody on stage get political and how will donald trump respond? i want to bring in white house correspondent athena jones, it sounds like president trump is ready to give specifics on health care, not only tonight

when he meets with the governors, but also this week? >> reporter: it's not at all clear that the white house is ready to deliver specifics, we know there are proposals going around on capitol hill, and we know this is a huge priority, and a huge challenge for this white house and for republicans on capitol hill, this was one of the president's main campaign promises, and not a big speech goes by without him talking about the need to repeal and replace obama care. republicans on capitol hill, on the house side, having voted already more than 50 times to replace the law. the problem is what to replace it with. and how to make sure that the 20 million people who gained coverage under the affordable care act don't lose it. we have been seeing a lot of town halls, as we have been reporting in the last several week, republicans across the country being confronted by constituents and voters who are

worried about losing their health care. governor kasich came and talked about health care, talked about these town halls on this morning's cbs' "face the nation." >> i don't understand everything that's going on with these town halls, but it's having an impact from the standpoint of, hey, people are watching, i don't think they mind reform, but don't take everything away. >> right, don't take everything away, and part of his point was don't take everything away from these 20 million people. as you know, dana, the president has said he plans to have a terrific plan to cover everybody and costs less. it's just not clear what that plan is going to look like. >> thanks for that report. and let's bring in our panel, ryan, and sarah, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. before i talk about the president's speech, cnn can now

confirm a report from politico earlier today that press secretary sean spicer is cracking down on leaks at the white house, so much so that he called staffers into his office to inspect their cell phones to make sure they weren't part of corresponding with reporters and he actually asked staff not leak information about the meeting, where he was talking about cracking down on the leaks, oops. i covered the white house, and obviously we talk to sources, all of us, all day long and hope that their communications aren't being looked at by anybody, especially their bosses. what do you make of this? let's start with you, ryan. >> it always suggests an amount of paranoia when you have people having to do--i can't think of

an occasion where the press secretary demanded to look at his staff's phones. but i think people go looking for leakers in different sorts of way. but the big picture here is, this is a white house where a certain amount of paranoia has set in, because you have multiple power centers. and the leak, according to dylan byers piece on cnn.com said that spicer was upset, because the name of that new communications director was leaked ahead of time. he is a friend and ally of spicer, so perhaps he saw this leak as somehow undercutting him, right? so that's when white houses start to get really dysfunctional, when the factions start to go to war with each other in the press and they try and clamp down on the leaks and that doesn't work and then you get into that vision cycle. >> absolutely.

and sarah, on the one hand you have the president, saying, that the press is making up fake sources and fake news, and yet, this seems to be an acknowledgement that they do believe that real information, as of course we know is the fact, is coming from people who are giving that information, but asking that their names not be used? >> it's clear that this is starting to bother the president. the fact that he used, he dedicated a significant portion of his speech at cpac to avenging his white house's relationship with the media, but specifically the prevalence of anonymous sources and information that's unflattering to his administration. the heat is on president trump, and sean spicer, if the leaks are coming from the communications department, which it appears some of his leaks are. so sean spicer is under pressure

from the president to find out who's doing these leaks. the more the white house tries to crack down on these leaks, the more information we seem to get from people who are a little bit disgruntled with that kind of people. this sort of -- it can also cause people to leak more out of frustration. >> i will say before we move on to the speech, that, you know, it might not be the worst thing if you're sean spicer, for us to be reporting that he's looking at people's phone, if he wants people around the white house, not just the administration to cut the leaks. but let's talk about the speech that's coming up this week, very important speech, ryan. before we talk about what we expect substance wise, let's just talk about the atmosphere that the president is in, his approval ratings, let's look at the maris poll, the question is, how does trump's conduct as

president make you feel, 58% say embarrassed, 33% say proud. what do you make of that, vis-a-vis trump is going to be addressing the country, but a republican led chamber. >> with those numbers at 58%, that means you have a good number of republicans who actually support him, because republican support is at 90% almost, who are still embarrassed by him. so an interesting dynamic there. it's hard with any kind of opinion poll these days with trump to get anything but a 50/50 split. so that means a lot of republicans are saying that. his overall approval rating is obviously lower than any modern presidents at this point in time. the issues he has wanted to focus on, intended to focus on since he's been inaugurated on, has been security, immigration, which has been reframed as a security issue, crime, and terrorism with the travel ban. what he hasn't focused on, to

nearly as much as i think a lot of congressional republicans would like him to is his domestic agenda, and that's been lost. there's no infrastructure bill, there's no detailed health care plan yet, we don't have obviously a tax reform bill. so i think that balance will be interesting to see tuesday night is how much does he lay out as a traditional president would in their first speech to congress, a detailed legislative agenda that he asks this republican congress to push through. >> no question. >> and puts out his budget, how much detail do we get? >> no question. and let's just dril down on one of the things you mention. obamacare, he's obviously going to need support from republicans and democrats in congress, it is the republicans that are trying to figure out how to make this happen. let's take a look at what their former leader, house speaker john boehner had to say about obamacare. >> i shouldn't have called it repeal and replace, because that's not what's going to

happen, we're basically going to fix the flaws and put a more conservative box around it. it's not all that hard to figure out. except this, in the 25 years that i served in the united states congress, republicans never, ever, one time agreed on what a health care proposal should look like, not once. >> nothing like not being in office to tell the truth, right? that was pretty remarkable. but sarah, he is truth telling there, he is being candid, because he doesn't really have any reason not to be at this point. they don't have a cohesive plan, also he's talking about the fact that even though he led the way for house republicans to vote umpteen times to repeal obamacare, he doesn't think the full repeal is going to happen, what do you make of it? >> you're exactly right, that republicans are moving much more slowly than i think the trump administration would like to

reveal a full obamacare, because they don't have a consensus on how to replace it. but this is an opportunity for trump to put pressure on republican members of congress to do that full repeal, saying these are the promises you made when you won in to so, this is their one and only opportunity to repeal obamacare, so even though the map fairs republicans heavily, you just never know what's going to happen, they shouldn't take this opportunity for granted to deliver on that promise if that's what they said they were going to do. if republicans are nervous about what's going to happen, they need to end this uncertainty, because all of trump's other items is that this health care reform has to happen before they can move forward on much of anything else. >> thanks to both of you. every time there's a first with this president, it is

fascinating to watch, and just the image of president trump walking into that chamber and walking down that aisle and taking that very large stage is going to be really, really interesting to watch. thank you very much for your insight. and as we mentioned, president trump, that first address before congress will be tuesday, you can see it lye right here, and stay tuned for the democratic response and reaction from kr06 the country, our coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. eastern, and i'll be moderating a town hall with john mccain and lindsey graham, that happens this wednesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. and coming up president trump says the race for dnc chairman was roigged. so what's the reaction from the man who won? and remembering bill paxon, from "twister" to the "titanic" and we look back on his

incredible career. and "new york times" ads seeks the truth.

4 lines, just $45 per line. . it didn't take long for president trump to tweet about the election of the democratic national committee's new chairman tom perez. earlier today trump tweeted, the race for dnc chairman was totally rigged. bernie's guy like bernie himself didn't have a chance. perez? >> donald trump up again in the morning tweeting about us. you know, our unity as a party is our greatest strength, and it's his worst nightmare. and frachbingly, what we need to be looking at is whether this election was rigged by president trump and his buddy vladimir putin. >> rand equally quick to embrace

his chief rival for the job of dnc chair, representative keith ellison n a show of unity, right there he named ellison as his deputy chair. but as donna brazile, his former share, announced that perez won last night in atlanta, angry supporters of ellison tried to shout her down. >> i want to talk about that, the perceived divisions, where we go from here with democratic strategist robert zimmerman, also a member of the democratic national committee. so robert, let's start right there. has the healing begun? what was the vibe that you got after that vote when you were in atlanta? >> of course there were some tensions, but as a democratic party, we're out of group therapy, the haagen-dazs is back in the freezer, and donald trump has really given us a renewed energy and focus. there were protests there, i

think "the washington post" said nine, stood up and protested. but the ideals that bring us together. that's what's going to be the driving mission. our challenge, though, is to make sure the democratic party becomes relevant to the over 2 million protesters that took to the streets january 21st. and the hundreds of thousands that were standing up at airports to protest the muslim ban and protesting around the country to protect affordable health care. >> so what's the answer? how do you harness all the energy? i'm glad you said haagen-dazs. but back to the whole issue of hoar necessarying it, it is happening on social immediate y'all with lots of very strong,

very robust groups pushing the grass roots to push lawmakers, democrats and republicans, so how does the democratic party fit into that and capture it? >> well, you know, it's really the critical determination that's going to evaluate whether the democratic party is relevant going forward? let's understand. we have the letting ty agenda. we have the agenda, the problem is, we have really become a presidential party. by that i mean the democratic party for all too long is focused on presidential politics, so in a sense, our infrastructure has fallen apart. in the last election cycle, the focus was on how much you were worth versus how much you have changed. the grass roots activists brought into leadership roles and tom perez is well positioned

to do that. that's his background. that puts him in a very unique position. and the party recognizes the essential need to do that. >> i was with senator dianne feinstein in california on friday, she had an event, and she like lawmakers all over the country, had some protesters standing up, protesters coming at her from the left, she's a democrat. let's listen to some of it. >> i'm getting little signals, are the greens good? >> will you commit to spend your next recess holding a series of town halls where you devote your time? >> i will try to do it based on my schedule. >> first of all, i will just say she could probably hold a master class on how to deal with crowds that are not loving her, or at least challenging her, but it does speak to a real situation talking about the midterms that you were just discussing. even people who are strong

democrats like dianne feinstein are getting a lot of push from the left to be more liberal. how does that play when you are not from california, but you are from missouri or other more moderate even red states? >> you know, honestly, dana, i think we make a mistake in trying to define every issue from the conventional notion of left or right. it doesn't apply. remember, 54% of america voted against donald trump's agenda and voted against donald trump's candidacy for president. and the country stands strongly for immigration reform, recognizes climate change as real. recognizes the right of the lgbt community, recognizes standing up for the minimum wage. i think we have to get away from labels that characterize the discussion. while each individual senator's politics is unique, there has to be an infrastructure from the

democratic party that's going to empower them, that's going to give voice to the protesters, because quite frankly, donald trump has not only changed the rule book for the republican party, he's redefined what the main stream is in america, because he's become so extreme, and di vieive in his rhetoric and hiss policy, that it's forming new coalitions in our country. >> as i described it and you rightly pointed out are scrambled. and coming up, an international murder mystery deepens, what an autopsy has just revealed by the death of kim jong-un's half brother. that story is next.

the father of a u.s. navy s.e.a.l. is fourious at the whie house because of what he calls is a senseless mission in which he lost hiss son. it was an operation presidentsi days after his inauguration. ryan nobles is following this for us, and this is the first time we're hearing from ryan's family about his death. what do they want to hear from the trump white house? >> reporter: it's the father of ryan owens that's speaking out

wanting an accounting of what really happened to his son. bill owens is a veteran himself and he wants to know why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn't even a week into his administration? why, for two years prior, there were no boots on the ground in yemen, everything was missiles and drones, because there wasn't a target worth one american life. now all of a sudden we had to make this grand display? owens not the only one concerned with the mission. now at this time, white house press secretary sean spicer evoked the death of owens as a way to rebut mccain's criticism. but bill owen warned the white house not to hide behind my son's death to prevent an

investigation. the white house is not being critical of the navy s.e.a.l.'s father, but they say they gained intelligence that has saved americans lives. president trump attend dover air force base when his body was returned to the united states. oversees now, new details about the mysterious and sudden death of the north korean leader's half brother. malaysian authorities are saying that kim jong-nam died just 15 to 20 minutes after somebody rubbed something on his face another an apartment. this is nearly two weeks since the time that two women wiped a substance on to kim's face. this week malaysian officials revealed that it was a very dangerous nerve agent. matt, wow.

i mean first of all, this is like a murder mystery that you would, you know, buy tickets to, but this is reality. and we're talking about a nerve agent in the middle of -- potentially in the middle of an airport. what are you hearing about this and could there be traces lingering around? >> reporter: well, that's the big question everyone's been worried about. let's start with the completion of the autopsy on kim jong-nam's body. basically it confirm what is we have been hearing from malaysian police, on friday, police confirmed that it was that vx nerve agent, a very dangerous chemical that was used to assassinate kim jong-nam. that office really just backing up what the police have said. as far as those two suspects go, both of them are in custody, and what they're saying is that this was all just part of a prank show that they were a part of. they didn't know exactly what they were going to be doing,

they're claiming they're just victims in all this, they were tricked by other people, other men they say they were influenced by. that's what they're telling their respective consulates here in kuala lumpur. it was late saturday night into sunday morning that for the first time in more than two weeks, malaysian officials finally went through the airport and looked for any signs of any chemical that might be left over. no one has been reported sick over the last two weeks, but it begses the question, if this deadly chemical was released in this airport, it could really cause some problems. why wasn't that hazmat search done earlier? the question has not been answered so far, dana. >> matt, thank you so much for that report. and coming up, an oscar dominated documentary captures the dangerous journey one syrian family went through to escape their war ravaged country, how

the syrian civil war will be in the spotlight at tonight's academy awards. three of the five films nominated for best documentary short offer eyewitness accounts of the devastation of the country. one of them "my homeland" depicts the lives of a woman and her four children living in an abandoned building in eastern aleppo. we know that she will be in the audience tonight at the oscars. here's the story. >> reporter: it's not the gun battles or violence that draws you into the film, "my home land." it's is quiet rhythms of life in the midst of war. hola camille and her four children lived on the front line. before them the relechbtless snipers of the syrian regime,

behind them the death squads. her journey was captured in the document try now up for an oscar. hala had tickets for a u.s. visa, but when she heard that syrians would be banned from entering the u.s. she was worried. >> at first, i was so sad. as when you want to visit somebody and he closed the door. in your face. it's really, it's really bad and sad for me. >> reporter: president donald trump's executive order has left tens of thousands in flux, not sure if the united states will welcome them, even if only for a short visit like hala. >> i respect trump so much because he don't mince his words with us. we don't have any problem with him. but we want to speak to the people in the u.s. i want to send message to the

world that there's a lot of family, a lot of children in syria, have this dangerous thing. but i want for us to look for this story as a fact, as the truth, what happened in syria, what happened to these people, to come here. >> reporter: despite the daily shelling and gun battles, the family refused to leave for years. until their father, a rebel commander with the free syrian army was captured by isis. the film shows the children offering tearful goodbyes as they leave the destroyed streets of aleppo, and how they keep

their resolve in the camps in turkey. and the youngest, sarah, still running in fear from the planes. the children have quickly made friends in their new home in germany. >> the goal like president, a big, big world around. >> hola cried when the oscar nominations were announced. she shows us photos of her celebratory breakfast with the film's director. >> he loved mos, he loved fils.s >> reporter: hola knows her husband is probably dead. but she still searches for his picture. his children believe that one day he may arrive at their door. for now hola only hopes that people will see the film to understand what she and many

it hasn't run an ad on tv in seven years, but tonight at the oscar broadcast, the "new york times" will air a commercial. >> the truth is alternative facts are just plain delusional. >> the truth is locker room talk is harmless. >> the truth is we need to put the safety of american people first.

>> well, not surprise dpli, that ad has already got on the president's attention. the president was early to rise this morning tweeting about it. he said for the first time the failing "new york times" will take an ad, a bad one, to help its failing reputation, try reporting accurately and fairly. i want to bring back ryan. ryan, can you remember a time when a major news outlet felt it necessary to run an ad advocated for truth? >> well, the truth is, we are experiencing an increased demand for what the three of us do right now. the "new york times," the new yorker where i work, has experienced pretty serious growth in the last few months, cnn obviously has. i assume the washington examiner has as well. and the "new york times" is experiencing a surge in sub

skrimgss because there is a demand for truth. i don't know how else to put it. we have had a president that has not been forthright in a lot of his public statements, and our job in the media has never been more important. and that has, i think that's partly what explains the times doing this. they're feeling flush enough that they can afford an ad like this and they know there is greater demand for their product than there has been in a long time. you know, when things are going to swimmingly, our jobs are less necessary. >> absolutely. certainly they clearly have more money to put into advertising, but it's the message that also is so stark. and it's not just the "new york times," "the washington post," take a look at this, they have a new branding campaign, under the header of the "washington post," democracy dies in darkness. i think that's brilliant.

sarah, obviously, they're a bit of a competitor to the washington examiner, but we're all out for the same truthiness as stephen colbert liked to say. what do you think of this? >> i think the press as an institution -- there's a substantial portion of trump supporters who think the media are not reporting accurately or fairly. so trump still feels like it's an effect tiff tactic for him to attack the main stream media when he feels back into a corner because it's something that resonates with a key group of his supporters, the ones who attend his rallies, the ones he can use to gal vachb nice his base, so the media is becoming a more polarizing issue than it's

everybody been before. >> it's not new and it's not a surprise that a politician attacks the media, but he's taken it to a completely different level. he has announced that he is skipping the white house correspondents dinner, twitter went to town with ideas of who could fill in. one tweet, alec baldwin, time to suit up. perhaps mike pence, the vice president will go, which is not unprecedented. we have been to white house correspondents dinners where the vice president goes. but as we talk about this, this is not a dinner just to post the president, it's to post the presidency and the press, and the free press and an adversarial press. who do you think should be in that chair? >> i think the question on pence

is if president trump has decided not to go, does that mean he doesn't want anyone from his administration either on stage speaking or in the audience as guests. that will be an interesting question for the white house this week. so we'll see where they stand on that. on the -- i have seen a lot of funny ideas for who should replace him. i don't think it would be in good taste for the white house correspondents association, which i'm a member of, and i assume you guys are members of as well. to replace trump with someone like alec baldwin, although i think his impersonations of trump are hilarious, when the president is there and you have a comedian roasting him, i think that's appropriate for the white house correspondents' association to sponsor that kind of event. i think it would be unusual for the white house continues association to not have trump and to just mock him for the entire evening. i think it's much better to turn the event into a celebration of

the first amendment and to raise awareness about how frankly the white house press corps is under attack by this president. i was one, i said this several times, i didn't think it was appropriate for trump to be there after he called the press the enemy of the american people. so unless he was coming to that dinner to apologize, i did not think it was appropriate for him to be there and for us to toast him. because i think his attacks on the press have been extremely troubling. >> i don't think there's any chance that the white house correspondents association is going to invite a comedian, that was in jest. >> but there's a difficult decision on what to do. i mean you got to get the balance right. just because trump is attacking us, doesn't mean we should -- he wants us to be the opposition and we need to do our jobs the way we have always done them and not turn into the boogie men that he wants us to be. >> before we go, sarah, i just

want to ask about tonight, the oscars, they have been political, all of the award shows so far, and the oscars is sort of the climax of that. but the president isn't going to be watching, apparently, maybe he's going to have it on dvr, he's going to be hosting his first big social event tonight. what is kind of your expectation? is your expectation that we're going to get some political speeches and he's going to be tweeting back and forth what we have seen so far since he's been in the white house? >> i would be surprised if we didn't see a political speech this evening, the oscars is known for people sometimes making provocative statements like that and certainly president trump, there's plenty of fodder out there for celebrities to make a statement if they wanted to tonight. >> and remember, meryl streep is a presenter, and she's the one that got him going the last time she was up there, i think it was another the golden globes. ryan and sarah, thank you so much. and competition,
