>> mr. president, thank you very much mr. president. >> where are you from? >> bbc. >> good, it's another beauty. >> it's a good line, impartial free and fair. >> just like "cnn." >> on the travel ban, we came banter back and forth. on the travel ban would you accept that was a good example of the smooth running of government? >> i do, i do. let me tell you about it. wait, wait i know who you are. just wait. let me tell you about the travel ban. we had a very smooth rollout of the travel ban that we had a bad court. we got a bad decision. we have a court overturned again maybe wrong but i think it's 80% of the time. we had a bad decision. we are going to keep going and put in a new executive order next week sometime but we had a bad decision. that's the only thing that was

wrong with the travel ban. you have delta with a massive problem with their computer system at the airports. you had some people that were put out there brought by a very nice buses and they were put out there very -- various locations. we had a bad court. we had a court that gave us what i consider to be at very bad decision, very bad for the safety and security of our country. the rollout was perfect. what i wanted to do was the exact same executive order that said this to my people, give them a one-month period of time the general kelly now secretary kelly said if you do that all these people will come and and we do agree there are bad people out there, right? not everybody that's like you. you have some bad people out there. so kelly said he can do that and he was right. as soon as he said i said wow never thought of it. i said how about one week and he said no good review got to do it immediately because he be

immediately because of the dude immediately they don't have time to command. nobody ever reports that but that's why we did it quickly. if i would have done it in a month everything would have been perfect. the problem is we would have wasted a lot of a lot of time in maybe a lot of flights because a lot of bad people would have come into our country. in the meantime we are offending very very strongly, very very strongly that we need help and we need help by giving that executive order passed. >> mr. president. >> go ahead. >> i was hoping we could get a yes or no answer on one of these questions involving russia. could you say you were aware anyone who advisor campaign had contact with russia during the course of the election? >> i told you general plan obviously was dealing so that's one person -- how many times do i have to answer this question? >> just say yes or no. rush is .

i have nothing to do with russia. i haven't made a phonecall with russia for years. i don't speak to people in russia. not that it wouldn't but i don't have anybody to speak to. i spoke to put in twice, called me on the election i told you this. he called me on the inauguration a few days ago. we had a very good talk. especially the second one which lasted for a long period of time. i'm sure you probably get it because it was classified. we had a very good talk. i have nothing to do with russia. to the best of my knowledge no person that i deal with does. now manafort has totally denied it. people knew that he was a consultant over that part of the world for a while but not for russia. think he represents ukraine or people having to do with ukraine are people, whoever that people knew that. >> in his capacity as your campaign manager was in touch with russian officials during the election? >> ps said no.

i can only tell you what he said he was her place long before the election. you know that right? when all of this star of the started coming out before the election but paul manafort who is a good n alsoy the y paul manafort was her place long before the election took place. he was only there for sure period of time. how much longer should we stay here, folks? five more minutes, is that okay? five? wade, i want to find a friendly reporter. >> i'm friendly. >> are you a friendly reporter? watch how friendly he is. go ahead. >> so first of all my name is jake from -- magazine and despite what so many colleagues might be reporting i haven't seen anybody my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-semitic

however what we are concerned about and what we haven't really heard you address is an uptick in anti-semitism. there had been reports out that 48 bomb threats have been made against jewish centers all across the country in the last couple of weeks. there are people who are committing anti-semitic backs or threatening --. >> you ask a very simple and easy question. and it's not. it's not a fair question. sit down, i understand down, i understand the rest of your question. so here's the story folks. number one i am the least anti-semitic% that you have ever seen in your entire life. number two, racism, the least racist person. fact we did very well with other people running as a republican.

quiet, quiet, quiet. he lied about getting up asking a straight and simple questions so welcome to the world for the media. just let me tell you something, that i hate the charge. i find it repulsive. i hate even the question because people that know me, and you heard the prime minister. you heard benjamin netanyahu yesterday. did you hear him? beebe said i've known donald trump for a long time and then he said forget it. so you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting -- insulting question. go ahead. >> thank you. lisa from the "pbs newshour." thank you mr. president. on national security and immigration can you give us more details on the executive order you've planned for next week when its broad outlines? is a focus on specific countries and in addition to daca program for immigration, what is your plan? do you can plan to continue that

programmer to end at? >> daca is a very difficult subject for me. to me it's one of the most difficult subjects because you have these incredible kids in many cases, not in all cases. in some of the cases they are gang members and drug dealers too that you have some absolutely incredible kids. i would say mostly. they were brought here in such a way, it's a very very tough subject. we are going to deal with daca with hard. i have to deal with a lot of politicians don't forget to have to cnce them tt what i'm saying is right. i appreciate your understanding on that but the daca situation is a very very, it's a very difficult thing for me because you know i love these kids. i love kids. i have kids and grandkids. i find it very very hard doing what the law says exactly to do and another with law is rough.

i'm not talking about the new laws. i'm talking about the existing law is very very rough. as far as the new order the new order is going to be very much tailored what i consider to be a very bad decision but we can tailor the order to that decision and get just about everything and in some ways more but we are tailor made to the decision. we have some of the best lawyers in the country working on it and the new executive order is being tailored to the decision we get down from the court, okay? >> the reopening of the white house visitor's office. she does a lot of great work for the country as well. can you tell us about what personally melania trump does for the country and unique levels in the administration so by opening the white house visitor's office. [inaudible] >> now that's what i call a nice question.

that is very nice. who are you with? in not maxie i'm going to start watching. thank you very much. melania is traffic. we had dinner with senator rubio and his wife who is by the way lovely and we had a very good discussion about cuba. we have similar views on cuba and cuba was very good to me in the florida election as you know , the cuban-americans. and i think that melania is going to be outstanding. she just opened up the visiting center touring the white house. she, like others that she is working with, feel very strongly about women's issues, women's difficulties, very very strongly and she's a very very strong advocate. i think she's a rate representative for this country. the funny thing happens because she gets so unfairly, the things they say. i have known her for a long time. she's a very successful person. she was a very successful model.

she did really well. she would go home at night and didn't even want to go out with the people. she was a very private person. she was always the highest quality that you will ever find in the things they say, and i've known her for a long time. the things they say are so unfair. actually she has been apologized to as you know by various medias because she -- they said things that were lies. she's going to be a fantastic or slavery. she's going to be a tremendous representative of women and the people and helping her and working with her will be ivanka who is a fabulous person and a fabulous, fabulous woman. and they are not doing this for money. they are not doing this for pay. they are doing it because they feel it, both of them. melania goes back and forth and after barren finishes school because it's hard to take his child out of school with a few months left she and barron will be moving over to the white house. think you, it's a very nice

question. go ahead. >> mr. president. >> this is going to be a bad question but that's okay. i enjoy watching you on television. >> will thank you so much. mr. president i need to find out from you if you said something as a relates to inner cities that was one of your platforms during your campaign. >> fixing the inner cities. >> fixing the inner cities, what will be that fixed an urban agenda as well as your hbcu executive order that is coming out this afternoon? >> i was very professional and very good. we'll be announcing the order in a little while and it will be something good for everybody concerned that we will talk to you about that after due the announcement at his first inner cities as you know i is very strong on the inner cities during the campaign. i think it's probably look up and much higher percentage of the african-american vote that a lot of people thought i was going to get. we did much higher than people

thought i was going to get and i was honored by that including the hispanic vote which was also hired higher and i might add including the women's vote which was much higher than people thought i was going to get. so we are going to be working very hard on issues having to do with education, having to do with crime. we are going to try to fix as quickly as possible, you know it's taking 100 years or more for these places to evolve and they have a fault in many of them very badly but we have been working very hard on health and health care, very very hard on education and also we are going to be working in a stringent way in a very good way on crime. you go to some of these inner-city places and it's so sad when you look at the crime. you have people and i've seen this and i have sort of witnessed it. i've actually witnessed it, they locked them selves into apartments petra i to even leave in the middle of the day.

they are living in hell. we can't let that happen so we will be very strong and it's a great question. it's a very difficult situation because it's been many many years. it's been festering for ma many years but we have laces in this country that have to fix. we have to help african-american people that for the most part are stuck there. hispanic american people. we have hispanic american people that are in the inner cities and they are living in hell. i mean you look at the numbers in chicago. there are two chicago's as you know. there is one chicago that's incredible, luxurious and all and safe. there's another chicago that's worse than almost any of the places in the middle east that we talk about and that you talk about every night on the newscast. so we are going to do a lot of work in the inner cities. i have a people lined up to help with dinner cities. >> when you say inner cities are

you going to include the cbc mr. president with the urban agenda and your inner-city agenda as well as the congressional black caucus? >> well i would. i will tell you what do you want to set up the meeting? >> no, no i'm a reporter. >> let's set up a meeting. i would love to meet with the congressional black caucus. i think it's great. ashley thought i had a meeting with congressman cummings and he was all excited and then he said , i can't move that might be bad for me politically. i was all set to have a meeting. we called him and called him and i was all set. i spoke to him on the phone, a nice guy. >> i hear he wanted that meeting with you as well. >> you wanted it but we called and called and called and called i can't make a meeting with him. every day i walk and i said i would like to meet with you because i do want to solve the

problem. he was probably told don't meet with trump, it's bad politics and that's part of the problem in this country. okay, one more. >> know, one question. in this room handle two. give me the better of the two. >> i just like to follow for my colleagues question about anti-semitism. it's not your personality or your beliefs. were talking about a rising anti-semitism around the country some of its supporters in your name. >> some of it and can be -- can i be honest with you? and this has to do with racism and horrible things that we are put up, some of it is written by our opponents. do you know that? it's not put up by the people that love donald trump, to put by the other side and you think it's playing it straight? nobody of some of those signs and some of that anger that is caused by the other side.

they'll do signs and they'll do drawings that are inappropriate. it won't be my people. it will be the people on the other side to anger people like you. >> you or the president now. what are you going to do about this? c who is that? >> would the going to do about the tensions that have. >> i'm working on it. i'm working on it very hard. just so you understand we had a totally divided country for eight years and long before that in all fairness to president obama. long before president obama. i didn't come along along and divide this country. this country was seriously divided before he got here. we are going to work on it very hard in one of the questions that was asked and i thought it was a good question was about the inner cities. we are going to work on education. we are going to try and stop the crime. we have great law enforcement officials. we are going to try to stop crime. we are not going to try to stop

crime, we are going to stop crime. this isn't donald trump that divided the nation. we went eight years of president obama and we went in the years before president obama. we lived in a divided nation and i am going to try, i will do everything within my power to fix that. i want to thank everybody very much. it's a great honor to be with you. thank u.. thank you very much. thanks. >> thank you for tuning in to replay of today's news conference by president beltran. i'm ashley webster and we now return to our programming.im. >> there is number one guy right now that's him and he willen basically decide who he likes best and who he wants to listen to the bass. maybe his son-in-law may be banned in and it may be somebody else.leave befo there'll be change and there will be people that leave befort long and i would expect a lot of change."wall >> the wall street journal

[burke] and we covered it, february fourteenth, twenty-fifteen. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ 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 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 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 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 leers, 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

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 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 liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. liberty did what? yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila!

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. 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. >> 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 fakeews. for their sake they have to

ignore this stuff, ask the 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. 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 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. >> 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 ine, flori. 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

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 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. because they shouldn't know. tom: we'll take that up with a did you know 90% of couples disagree

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. >> 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

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 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 ar 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 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. 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 mess. it's a mess.

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 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

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. 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. 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 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. tom: we spent most of the show talking about these things. but after all of this, the president went into the roosevelt room and there were koafl miners in there and rand paul and overmanchin, and he signed -- i didn't know what he was signing at first. it was passed by the senate, passed by the house, legislation to take a lot of the restricting regulations off of the coal miners which was another campaign promise. that already went through the house and senate and on to the president's desk. it was legislation he signed today. we are not even talking about the accomplishments today. >> you are right. donald trump did sign that bill to alleviate a lot of restrictions on coal and the coal industry. we know if the reverse of the electoral vote happened and hillary clinton was the one in office. we know it would be a very

different story we are talking about today. tom: but here is the thing. we are talking about everything but that. but we've have to leave it there. bre peyton and tony sayegh. thank you. kennedy: is president obama heading for his own watergate scandal or is the left-wing media about to collapse under the waste its own hysteria. a new repo says the intelligence community is withholding information from the president out of fighter will turn up in russia's hands. strap yourself in, time to light this candle. donald trump has only been president for 28 days and
