7:15 pm
he does not know the ways of washington, he got there, ran into a buzzsaw, and called up networks and said let me talk to the people, i see donald trump doing the same thing, not the same style, but the same path. >> i think there is no question that trump has that ability to communicate, i was watching today, i said, he is like scotch, first drink of scotch, i didn't particularly like it, and 50 years later and 4 thousand barrels later it is my drink. high is an acquirehigh is he is an a-- he is a an acquired taste. i think that public out there, he will go back. tom: you are a campaign guy. >> also part of the white house, i served in both terms, i think, top levels, i highwa how the white house operates. i think that difference with
7:16 pm
reagan, he had a very experienced staff, everyone who was had been in a role with nixon or ford. this is a new staff. very competent people, but it takes time to get to where you know. tom: you are all new, you, ed niece. >> but -- >> sacramento mafia if you will. >> we came from washington. jim baker deputy secretary of commerce. you know we all had, people they have been around the game, mixed with some californians, this is say pretty new crew in sent of white house government. tom: what do us make of reports that there are different powered groups in the white house trying to get the ear of the president, he is getting mixed messages? >> i don't disagree. i think he likes this style, he has always run a flat organization, where he gives
7:17 pm
access to a bunch of people, they have been there, less than 4 weeks. and at the inof the day everyone in white house is a type-a personality, rules are not declined clearly there are no walls. if you are a political director, i could go anywhere i wanted to, steve banning can go where he's to, and kellyanne can go where she''s to, sooner or later he will have to figure out what works best for him. tom: is it lord of the flies, there will be someone that emerges as the number one guy who has -- >> there is one number one guy right now, that is him. and he will basically decide who he likes, best and who he's to listen to best, maybe his son-in-law, maybe bannon or someone element and there will be change, people who leave before long. and certainly, i would expect a lot of change. tom: yeah, other respect, "wall street journal" reporting that, intelligence people were not giving him all of the intelligence, they were
7:18 pm
worried about leaks i presume within the inner circle. cia, intelligence people say, that is absolutely not true. your take? >> i believe the cia, i think that "wall street journal" had sources but i think that -- trump got everything he wanted or needed and i think they will continue to do that. there is a new team in there. they will make sure she gets what he wants, there is no much information that comes to the national, security count, or cia. they have to filler down. what does the president want? does high want to know the 100 spots in the world or 10 that matter today. tom: a good point, it has been 3 weeks they are still looking for the coffee pot. brand-new kids. ed rollins thank you. >> thank you. tom: vote in tonight's poll,
7:19 pm
do you have hope that left wing national media will ever treat president trump fairly? cast your vote. and follow lou on twitter @lou dobbs, like the show on facebook and instagram. >> on wall street, not bad, stocks closing mixed. but the dow gaining 8 points closing at an all-time high for 6 straight sessions. s&p down two, nasdaq down 5. volume 3.6 billion shares. market, hosting $2 .7 trillion in paper gains since the election. amazing. >> construction of new homes climbing to highest level in a year. and reminder listen to lou's reports 3 times a day, coast-to-coast on the salem radio network. >> up next, president trump
7:20 pm
defending his ousted national security adviser, saying his real story is his classify the conversation was leaked. >> what was wrong is that the way that other people including yards, in this room, were give than information. there that was classified information that was give up illegally, that is the problem. >> former bush administration official tom dupree said these leaks are a threat to our national security. he is our gift, and he is here -- he is our gift guest and he is here next. was made long ago, and aarp believes it should be honored. thankfully, president trump does too. "i am going to protect and save your social security and your medicare. you made a deal a long time ago." now, it's congress' turn. tell them to protect medicare. this is one gorgeous truck. special edition.

7:22 pm
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
tom: president trump today slamming intelligence officials and the media over illegally leaked information. while directing the department of justice to investigate. this. >> everyone saw this, i am saying, first thing i thought of, how did you the press get this information that is classified? how? you know why, because it is an illegal process, the press should be ashamed. but more personally the people
7:25 pm
that gave out that information to press should be ashamed, really ashamed. tom: joining me now, tom dupree former deputy assistant attorney general rally in bush administration. tom this is a who done it. and i suspect you and everyone your old colleagues are buzzing about who do you think did it? how did the phone calls to the prime minister of australia, and president of mexico, how did those get out? >> right, a lot of times in the executive branch you have a number of people who have access to classified information they could range from high level political appointees to civil servant whose role puts them in place to access to that. you could have a dozen to 50 or more people all with variety of interesting and motives, some of whom might be the leaker, it could be more than one leaker, we've been
7:26 pm
talking the leaker in some cases you could have multiple leaks, maybe several different motives, turning that material over to reporters. tom: many times we hear stories about investigation, going to be held, we never hear another thing, do you believe, that there is going to somebody that will face the music and we'll know who it is. tom: name, date and serial number? >> i am confident there will be a robust investigation, not as confident they will track down the leaker. leak investigations can are difficult to conduct. it can be hard to put fingerprint on the like, but i have no doubt there will be multiple investigationses of this try to get the bottom, something that government can, should and i am confident will take seriously. tom: if i am working in some national security level, and i see something that oh, this is juicy, i'm going to call my friend at xyc media, let them
7:27 pm
know, if you know i have access to it but i pick up my private cell phone and make the call. are you -- have access to high personamy personal records if i work in national security. >> a lot of times you don't, if people are working from government resources, sending e-mail on government computer and phones that is easy. >> i'm not that dumb. i will use my personal phone. >> let's assume they are smart leakers, that is a lot tougher. typically you can't get that information voluntarily it possible, you go to court. and compel people to turn it over, but not off than leak investigation go that far. a lot of times you see, interviews, and canvassing of government material, then the investigationens there. we'll see how far they push it in this days. tom: the accusation could be obama hold overs, since attorney general sessions of on the job, there was an
7:28 pm
opportunity there for a lot of high level obama hold overs, are you thinking that is a legitimate place to look? >> a very legitimate place to look. any time you have a shift in administration there is friction, particularly in this case with a lot of turmoil caused from obama to president trump shift, there could be permanent career employees for whatever reason, maintain loyalty to prior administration, and say tha this as an opportunity to weaponiz classified information to score political points, if that is what happened, that is ou ragous -- outrageous and wrong but you can't rule that out. tom: thank you, testimon tom dupree, stay with us. >> press has become so dishonest. if we don't talk about it, we're doing a tremendous
7:29 pm
disservice to the american people. >> left continues its attack against the trump administration at nearly every turn. we take it up with byron york and mike gallagher, they join me next. >> and surfers hanging 10 with unexpected friends, the captivating moments ahead in video, we're coming right back, please, stay with us. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
7:30 pm
..
7:31 pm
7:32 pm
7:33 pm
tom: during the president's hour-plus news conference, president trump took the national left-wing media to task. sheer he is with a sometimes heated exchange with cnn's jim acosta. >> i want to follow up. >> you do have other people. >> if i may ask, sir, you said earlier that wikileaks was revealing information about the hillary clinton campaign during election cycle. you welcomed that. you said you loved wikileaks. at another campaign press conference you called on the russians to find the missing 30,000 emails. >> she was actually missing 33 and that got extended.
7:34 pm
but i did say 30 but it was higher than that. >> it sounds as though you do not much credibility when it comes to leaking if that is something you encouraged during the campaign. >> in one case you are talking about highly classified information. you look at your show that goes on at 10:00 in the evening. you take a look at that show. that's a constant hit. the panel is almost exclusively anti-trump. sit down. >> just because the attack of fake news and attack our network. >> i'm change it from fake news. sphrrp fake news. you are not related to our new -- >> no, i'm not related.
7:35 pm
>> i looked at that name and i said, is there any relation. i said do we a favor and go back check the family tree. tom: byron york, chief political correspondent with the washington examiner and mike gallagher, host of the mike gallagher show. this little love affair it looks like they are making up a little bit over that remark about his family name. >> i think trump has been playing with them for quite a while. you know that phrase when someone is living rent-free in someone's head? every time he calls them fake news, they say, no, we are not. he said today i have a new name for you, very fake news. for their sake they have to ignore this stuff, ask the
7:36 pm
questions, go straight ahead and not get distracted. >> it feels like we are all in on the joke and they are not. it's fascinating. you want an example from fake news? how about the headline. trump rails about hillary. did you notice jim acosta was asking him about the emails. they try to make it steam like he's ranting and raving and he's not. today's press conference represents everything about trump's amazing candidacy that got him elected. cnn and others in the mainstream media don't get it. tom prr my twitter feed lit up on this whole thing. we have people from the left and the right. we have anti-trumpers, and pro-trumpers, and everybody else in there.
7:37 pm
but there is a strong anti-media commentary going on because of this. what's your take? you are a journalist. >> trump made a lot of hay out of attacking the media. the problem is, they are so vulnerable to attack. they have written a number of stories that are just dead wrong. some of the networks have put themselves in an extremely adversarial position to trump. he does hit back. people don't trust what they have to say. but you saw trump has a way of communicating to people that works -- not on the coast -- but works in a large part of the country. and people in the press have never gone the it. they didn't get it during the campaign, and they don't get it now. if you did a focus group of the number of people in the heartland of this press conference and a group of people
7:38 pm
in the press, the impressions would be extremely different. tom: i have heard a lot of pundits commenting, if you like donald trump, you loved this news conference. if you don't like donald trump, you think he's insane. they are calling him every day unfit. all the things they called him during the election that did not work. >> that's the point, it didn't work. but they are sticking to their guns. if you don't like president trump then this press conference was a burr in your saddle. if you are pulling for him and want him to succeed, taking on the news media. these guys are so unpopular and he knows it. that's why he won't relinquish his twitter account. he's going directly to the american people and he's enormously successful.
7:39 pm
>> this is fascinating. it was like a moth to a lightbulb. how long can this go on before people go, i have seen this show? >> i think it could go on for quite a while. i pick up on something mike just said about going over the heads of the press. that's what you are seeing in trump scheduling a campaign-style rally in melbourne, florida saturday. you get the idea trump felt he's been too boxed in washington. he's letting other people, including the press, set the agenda for him. he wants to get back to the way he was in the campaign where he could communicate more directly with people. i think you will see more of that. a performance like we saw today. you don't do it every day. trump hasn't had a news conference like that. but i do think it's very effective periodically, and certainly all the bad news he
7:40 pm
has had this week, it was a smart thing to do. >> everything about saturday's rally is driving the mainstream media crazy. there will be thousands of people that go to melbourne, florida this week. >> there is a real point in that rally. he has done a lot of things already. the trans-pacific pipeline, obamacare, immigration, federal regulations. accomplishments that got lost in this fire holes of activity it's time for him to go out and sell and try to build support for what he's done. tom: excellent point. roll the video. this is -- there are a couple of dolphins showing surfers how to do it. watch as this pod of dolphins hit the waves alongside several
7:41 pm
swimmers and surfers off the coast of santa barbara. it's rare to see them control licking so close to the swimmers. president trump not discussing his response to recent provocations by north korea and iran. >> i don't talk about military response. i don't have to tell you what i'm going to do in north korea. and i don't have to tell you what i'm going to do with iran. you know why? because they shouldn't know. tom: we'll take that up with a former cia analyst. hey, searching for a great used car? yeah! you got it. just say show me millions of used cars for sale at the all new carfax.com.

7:45 pm
tom: a russian spy ship spotted off the east coast is believed to be returning to havana. the ship was 65 miles northeast of norfolk, virginia. norfolk home to the largest naval base in the world. president trump responded to recent russian provocations at the news conference.
7:46 pm
>> shoot that ship 30 miles offshore right out of the water. everyone will say that's oh great. that's not great. i would love to be able to get along with russia. you have had a lot of presidents that haven't taken that tack. tom: joining me now fred fleis. i have never -- it surprises me i have never heard a president say i'm not going to tell you. it makes sense that that's what the right answer should be. >> it is the right answer. but why does he have to say it? because when barack obama said all options are on the table, when he drew rid lines, no one believed him. i think trump is going to put
7:47 pm
together a policy of peace through strength. tom: i man the international offices of various leaders are probably having that exact conversation. what do you think he's going to do? we don't know. which is what you want them to be guessing. this business about the leaks. how do you control that? >> you know, this is very serious. i heard your other guest talk about the fact that the afertion of an american citizen was recorded by an intelligence agency was record and released to hurt him 367 i'm glad rand paul is taking a stand on this. we need to get trump's people into these agencies. there are a lot of people in government agencies, in
7:48 pm
intelligence agencies who support trump or maybe they are not a trump supporter, but they don't like political hacks running their agencies. if trump can get his people into these agencies, they can talk to these officers. they know where the leaks are coming from. tom: when rex tillerson on his first day went over to the state department and addressed those people in a way i think a lot of those people were pleased to see and hear. they had a name, a face and a human being they could connect with that they did not before. >> there are troublesome individual who the obama administration left behind. i know officers of the state department who were some of these people resided. if mr. tillerson wants to give me a call i will talk to him about it. i know people at the state department who would love to work with mr. tillerson to make
7:49 pm
sure the state department performs its job independently and non-politically. tom: i was asking, in the department of justice, will they be able to find these people leaking information out from some source? i suggested to him, if i was doing that, i wouldn't use the company phone, i would use my personal cell phone. he said it's hard to find them. do you think they will? >> i think withinned the cia and the other agencies they know the units where these leaks are coming from. we are not going to let work on these subjects. the leaks are coming through. there are strategies used to take care of this problem. but leaks are a fact of life. with trump appointees we can significantly reduce this problem. tom: it would be nice to get all of these nominees in place and running the various agencies.
7:50 pm
good to see you. breaking news tonight. the islamic state is claiming responsibility for two deadr deadly attacks in the middle east. 75 people are dead and 200 wounded in pakistan after a suicide bomber attacked a crowded shrine. this makes it one of the worst attacks in pakistan in recan't years. in baghdad a car packed with explosives killed 52 and wounded more than 50 others. the president crowing to keep fighting terrorism until the islamic state is eliminated. president trump insisting his administration is like a fine-tuned machine. and any challenges are the result of his predecessor. >> our administration inherited many problems across government and across the economy. to be honest, i inherited a
7:51 pm
mess. it's a mess. dear predictable, there's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪

be overwhelming and complicated. that's why at cancer treatment centers of america, every patient gets their own care manager, to coordinate every aspect of their care. it's a long journey, its very complicated and we try to help them through that. we are available 24/7. if a new symptom occurs in the middle of the night,

we are there to help. the care manager coordinates all of the patient's appointments, scans, chemotherapy... the last thing any patient really needs to worry about is how am i going to get here, how is insurance going to handle this? one of the great things we do is help them manage their symptoms at home. we as care managers want to take as much stress off the patient as we can. meet the care managers at ctca. my name is mena... collette jodi vincent stacy our nurse care managers are with you every step of the way so you can focus on your fight. learn more at cancercenter.com/caremanager appointments available now. tom: in our online poll last night we asked you to name it greater threat to national security. 93% of you said it's obama's
7:55 pm
nuclear deal with iran that cost $163 billion. 7% said it was michael flynn talking to a russian ambassador. bre, did you enjoy the presidential news conference today? >> i thought it was amazing it was amazing watching the reporters getting what was coming to them and it was served to them from president obama. it's clear americans and conservatives november watching the media get their butts kicked. it's clear donald trump likes to do it. there is no shortage of outrage that will come from the media on this. it's a big never ending cycle in the sense, we have the president who will basically spank them on
7:56 pm
tv and everyone will like watching it. tom: we were talking before the break, there are a lot of people in washington who don't get president trump. how many more of these will it take? >> the aggressor sets the terms. we never once on the republican side had an individual so willing to set the terms to play hardball with an opponents. sadly we have become numb to the idea of the press bias up until now. and donald trump won't take that sitting down. you saw that today. i imagine it might take a few more instances to demonstrate the rules have changed. chuck todd made some ridiculous comment that what trump did was un-american. i will tell you what is un-american is that we don't have a free press. donald trump is seriously committed to changing that dynamic.
7:57 pm
tom: the press should be adversarial, but not advocates. maybe people aren't used to seeing a presque a president. this almost seems nixonian. there is a campaign to go after the president. >> you are rite. several exchanges among members in the press, notably cnn's jim acosta. it was clear they were trying to make that exchange about themselves. and trying to make themselves victims. double down on dumb little things that don't matter like the electoral counts. they are digging in and double down on petty issues that aren't that big of a deal. when the president pushes back or reacted to it, they play victim. oh, why are you trying to deleaf jit miets me. i think that kind of behavior is
7:58 pm
frustrating for americans who do rely on the press and the media to report and tell them what's going on. seeing that confirms the bias the public has in their heads. they are playing victim and trying to make it all about themselves. tom: think about what jim acosta said last night in a live newscast. this is the cnn's white house correspondents. not an analyst. not someone with an opinion show. he says the fix was in because he wasn't called on in the white house briefing room. this goes to show you have the ideology and the mentality -- i think elite liberal press corps. main stream is not elite and liberal. this is a press corps that has gotten away with way too much and not you rules are changing and they are not happy.
7:59 pm
