president trump making the latest folly in his war with the media. it's a decade-old tradition, the white house correspondent dinner. this is the fox report. the president is making a twitter announcement just a short time ago. mr. trump typing i will not be attending the white house correspondent association dinner this year. please wish everyone well and have a great evening. that tweet comes amid rising

tensions between his administration and some media outlets. the white house, on the defensive, about its response to reports of russian links working to destroy credit reports. senior staff asked senior members of the intelligence community and mom makers to reebok critical news stories about the campaign ties to russia. in the meantime president trump is focusing on his next big event, addressing a joint session of congress on tuesday, his very first such speech. today, we got a preview as he spoke about lost jobs during his weekly address. >> this week i met with manufacturing ceos who are going to be read working to bring back those jobs, and i mean really good paying jobs. i will be talking more about these issues in my joint session address to congress and to all americans next tuesday evening. >> kristen fisher was live from the white house tonight. let's start with the washington post report which claims the trump administration was actually trying to enlist

lawmakers. the counter stories about the alleged height to russia. is there any truth to that. >> julia, senior administration officials say they did point some reporters to some members of congress, but only after those members of congress had contacted the white house first. two of the lawmakers in question are senator richard burr from north carolina and kevin nunez from california. they told me they contacted the white house first, not the other way around to say they were already speaking with reporters to set the record straight, and only then did the white house house.other reporters to those two lawmakers. this is a similar but separate issue from what white house press secretary sean spicer confirmed yesterday that the white house did ask fbi officials to speak to the press to clarify reports, but today the white house says they did not instigate these conversations with members of congress to do the same.

>> how big of a deal is it that president trump will not be attending this year's white house correspondents dinner. >> i think the average american, probably not a big id deal, but to the white house press corps and washington establishment, this is a huge deal. it has happened before, but it hasn't happened in a very long time. it really just cements the level of hostility between this white house and the press corps that covers it. right after president trump announced this on twitter, the president of the white house correspondent association, jeff mason from reuters released a statement. they take note of president trump's announcement announcement on twitter that he does not plan to attend the

dinner, which has been and will continue to be a celebration of the first amendment and the important role played by an independent news media in a healthy republic. while this is a big deal, it's not unprecedented. richard nixon didn't attend and 72. jimmy carter didn't go in 78 and ronald reagan didn't go in 81, but he had 81, but he had a good excuse because he was recovering from an assassination attempt. since 1924, every president has attended this dinner at least once. i guess there's always next year i guess we'll have to wait and see. >> don't miss fox news sunday tomorrow where chris wallace will be speaking with the former campaign manager about his upcoming address to congress and other issues surrounding the administration. also i'm sure about the fact that he will not be attending the white house dinner. check your local listing or tune in at two and 10:00 p.m. right here on fox news channel. >> what a big day for democrats as the party elected tom perez, the new national chairman of the d&c. he beat out keith ellison in the second round of voting.

perez vowed to rebuild the party from the ground up in position democrats to lead the opposition against president trump. >> someday they are going to study this era in american history and study it alongside the know nothing movement and they were asked the of all of us, where were you in 2017 when we had the worst president in the history of the united states, and we will all be able to say whether you are sitting here or sitting outside were looking across america, we will all be able to say united democratic party, let the resistance to ensure that this president was a one term president. >> jonathan is live from the americans march atlanta convention center where the vote took place today. jonathan, what is the d&c new

chairman bring to the table? >> he will be serving as labor secretary. his victory is a clear signal that the d&c is comfortable with an establishment figure presenting the public face of the party. his decision to nominate his opponent, keith ellison as deputy chair is an apparent effort to unifishment and progre wing. here is what ellison had to say right after the election. >> the fate of our nation, i believe is in the balance right now. all hands on deck. i trust tom perez. if they trust me, they need to come on and trust tom perez as well. >> unity has been a common theme at this meeting as something the party is going to have to achieve if it's going to rebuild in the wake of stinging defeat back in november.

>> even president trump weighed in on the dnc chairman race. what did he have to say. >> he did indeed. earlier this evening he took to twitter. in that tweet he said congratulations to thomas perez who has just been named chairman of the d&c. i cannot be happier for him or the republican party. meanwhile formal former president barack obama weighed in with a written statement saying i know tom perez will unite us under that banner of opportunity and lay the groundwork for a new generation of democratic leadership for this big, bold, inclusive, dynamic america we love so much. >> thank you very much the annual cpap conference wrapping up today with a straw poll as well as appearances by epa chief scott pruitt and david clark. elizabeth has more from national harbor maryland. elizabeth, were their names brought up in the straw poll this year?

>> so many times we talk about that in years past. it was really issues, the question of what it in fact, we heard from the president who spoke at the conference a day before the straw paul poll was closed so as a lot of issues we saw on the campaign trail and a lot of issues he's been talking about his first month in office and what people expect in his first four years of office. some of the questions were lighthearted. 70% of those polled approve of his use of twitter and some were more controversial, especially when it comes to the supreme court nomination. only 2% disapprove of the nomination and 4% was unsure. the rest was approving. 44% of the country say the country is headed in the right direction. 47%. 47% in the wrong direction. one area was where there was no

gray area was the support for the president. 86% of those polled approve of the job donald trump is doing as president while only 12% disapprove, and remember, this time last year when we were here, we saw a were here, we saw a lot of never trump signs, and this year we sure saw make america great signs on just about every corner of this property. >> who did we hear from today? today was a busy day. we had quite a few speakers. we had mark walker from north carolina. we heard from sheriff clark, we also had from the heard from the head of the epa. he spoke right before the straw polls were closing. he talked about rolling back regulation and putting the power back into the states. take a listen. >> the previous administration was so focused on climate change and so focused on co2 that the priorities were left behind. how to clean up those communities. we as republicans, we don't have anything to be apologetic about

with respect to the environment. nothing. we have always believed that you can grow jobs, growing economy while also doing what, being a good steward of the environment. >> we heard from sheriff clark. he concluded that the pack event bringing the crowd to applause when he said blue lives matter. he also said the rule of law should not divide us but bring us together. back to. >> thank you very much. right now we are getting an update on the blood he attacked where a driver plowed his car into a crowded town square. what police have to say about any possible motivation. iraqi forces pushing further into the stronghold of mosul were thousands of family remain caught in the crossfire. details on the heavy resistance iraqi troops are facing. except when it comes to your retirement plan. but at fidelity, we're making retirement planning clearer. and it all starts

others were injured. the suspect fled the scene on foot. he was later shot and wounded by police after a standoff. the unidentified 35-year-old suspect was taken to the hospital. german authorities say there was no indication the attack was linked to terrorism. this comes, by the way, just two months after a tunisian terrorist drove a large freight truck into a crowded berlin market killing 12 people. isis did claim responsibility for that attack. twin suicide attacks killing at least 32 people in central syria. the the blast targeting a pair of government security officers. a high-ranking military intelligence official was among the victims. and al qaeda linked group claimed responsibly for the bloodshed. this as delegations from both sides hunkered down in geneva for un-sponsored peace talks. they called on all parties to condemn the attack. the battle for mosul turning into an urban warfare.

see for yourself. >> julie, this is a vicious fight fight that is far from over. in fact, several thousand isis militants remain entrenched in western mosul, using car bombs, snipers, even armed drones to attack advancing iraqi troops. still iraqi forces continue to push into the western part of the city, albeit as one of rocky commander said moving slowly amid the intense fighting. they gain key ground, recapturing recapturing mosul airport and a large military base, and as we know the eastern half of the city after months of fighting. the pace of this fight should increase according to military commanders as iraqi troops continue to secure the southwestern part of the city, taking control of key infrastructure and supply lines to hook up with those forces already in the east. as they do, thousands of civilians still remain caught in

the crossfire. this man was one. he managed to escape. >> we had to use leave our home and town and were human shields during the fighting. >> we also heard of people being killed by landmines and roadside bombs planted by the militants who are willing to kill men, women and children in their path of war and destruction. right now, an estimated 750,000 civilians remain trapped in western mosul as conditions worsen in what is being described as a deteriorating humanitarian and security situation. >> thank you so much john hundreds of migrants on solid ground after being stranded at sea. how long this took rescue crews.

president trump moves forward on a signature campaign promise, building the wall. there are some obstacles standing in his way. find out next. >> building useless walls instead of fixing roads and bridges waste resources. we cannot let the politics of fear in this destruction keep us from our priorities i just didn't. it's kind of like "wait a minute, i would normally be running out the door to go grab a cigarette." along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some reported seizures or sleepwalking with chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems,

what they're currently doing in their advertising. pull some research, create a great story. trying to figure out some way of building some kind of trust in a very quick moment. you have to love to work with people. our goal, without a doubt, is that all customers are satisfied before they leave. ♪ they've taken swift and strong action to secure the southern border of the united states and to begin the construction of a great, great more the wall. >> resident trump is moving forward on his campaign promise to build that wall. u.s. customs and border patrol announcing friday it will request bids from construction companies in early march and contracts could be awarded as early as mid- april. will car has more from the west

coast bureau. will, do we know when construction will actually start ? >> not yet julie, but president trump has set the wall will be up faster than anyone thanks. we have confirmed the initial designs for the wall are due in the coming weeks. as it stands, there is just over 650 miles of fencing on the border which runs almost 2000 miles long. the price tag could be anywhere from 12 - $20 billion depending on the walls height and the materials that have to be used. listen to president trump at sea pack on friday. >> we are going to build the wall. don't worry about it. we are building the wall. in fact, it's going to start soon. way ahead of schedule. >> neither the administration or department of homeland security have said exactly where construction will start first. in recent weeks dhs secretary john ellie has toured parts of the border in california,

arizona and texas. >> what kind of political hurdles, we know know there will be plenty, are there going to be that need to be jumped before the wall can actually be built in every border state, particularly in texas because in texas where the wall is needed, you have some 1900 miles of wall 1200 of those miles are in fact owned by private companies, private people, farmers, etc. , et cetera. then you have the eminent domain issues to contend with which could take years and a lot of money. >> that is absolutely right. you also have the terrain, parts of the border are mountainous and it will be incredibly difficult if not impossible to actually build the wall. the immediate hurdles that are political based start in arizona

with the toner odom tribe that owns 75 miles of its reservation on the border. it is that it is adamantly against the wall and prefers using technology for security. >> a wall built on the border, we believe, is not the answer to securing america. >> in new mexico, 22 miles of state owned land on the border has become a battle line. lawmakers are pushing legislation that would prohibit the federal government from acquiring that land and here in california, liberal politicians politicians have said they may use state and federal environmental laws to prevent construction. then there's the question of who ultimately picks up the tab. trump has made it clear mexico will pay for the long wall and mexican authorities have said there's no way that's going to happen. secretary of state rex tillerson and dhs sec. were in mexico earlier this week trying to smooth out relations but neither side mention the wall publicly. >> thank you so much. to be clear, this is not the first time the white house, not president trump's white house, but white house is in the past

have tried to erect this wall. democratic senator chuck schumer, back in 2006 even backed it and they were able to because of the eminent domain issue. we will have to wait and see how they work that out. safety at last for hundreds of migrants stranded in the mediterranean sea. more than 700 of them reaching the coast of sicily after a today rescue mission. more than 13000 migrants have come to europe in the first two months of 2017 alone. more than 300 have died attempting the journey since the year began. president trumps treasury secretary insists the economic policies will have little impact this year. while you can look for a greater affect next year instead. sunday morning futures anchor spoke exclusively with the

treasury chief and here's a preview of the conversation where he also impaled the idea of a reciprocal tax. >> an idea that he is looking at calling a reciprocal tax which is basically saying we want to create a level playing field so other countries treat us the way we are treating them. we are not going to get into trade wars. what we are going to do, the president believes in free trade, but he believes in fair trade and we are going to renegotiate these deals so they are good for the american public, the good for the american worker and they are good for american companies. all they are looking for our fare deals where the deals work for us and they work for the other parties. that is what we are going to do. >> see more of the interview tomorrow on sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on fox news channel. after years of pledging to

this is the fox report, it's the bottom of the hour, time for the top of the news. democrats have elected tom perez to serve as labor secretary. he beat keith allison in the second round of voting and appointed allison as his deputy. he is vowing to rebuild the party and help democrats lead the opposition against trump. the conservative conference wrapping up today. plus, a straw poll focusing on president trumps job performance and policy questions. it resulted in showing a large majority of proof of him so far

and disapprove with how he is being treated by republicans in congress. the poll and vote was taken by sea pack. the president offering a preview of his address to a joint session of congress. in his weekly white house address, post it online today, trump indicated he will be talking about bringing back american jobs. but, this just in, trump in, trump saying he is giving the white house correspondent dinner, just one more move in a skirmish with the media. yesterday he spent much of his speech at sea pack bashing the press. shortly after his press secretary set off an uproar by banning a handful of journalists from an off-camera gathering. howard joins me now on the phone. this is very frustrating. here from the hard to hear from

the white house that they are banning reporters from their daily press briefing, but what is your reaction to the president skipping the white house correspondent dinner which is a time of laughter, obvious jobs, every president has dealt with it and then at the receiving end of some jokes and they just have a thick skin and go and take it. this president is doing it much differently heard what is your reaction. >> for all the self absorbed media types, this this is a bombshell. i'm not surprised, giving the state of virtual war between trump in the mainstream media is blowing off for dinner. from his perspective why would you want to hang out for hours with a bunch of people he didn't like and be made fun of by a comedian. after he takes his joke, have to talk about the role of the press and the free society. i think he decided he has other things he'd rather do. >> could he possibly use this as an opportunity to mend some fences because doesn't not work in the president's favorite you have the press, i suppose, on his side opposed to against him,

not to say that the media is all against him, but the mainstream media hasn't been very kind and has been more critical of this president than any president in history so clearly has a reason to be frustrated with the press, but at the same time, by shunning them it's not necessarily going to help either, is it. >> for other presidents i would would say sure, you be self-deprecating, use tell some jokes, it's kind of a timeout from the usual adversary relationship but he does things differently. i must say it's going to cast a big shadow on the dinner which is a huge weekend in washington. we've had bloomberg in vanity fair canceling the big parties they throw and a lot of that is because they don't like donald trump. i wonder if not as many people will show up if the star attraction is not going to be there. >> before becoming president he went to all of these things but he was very much the man who wanted to be seen and he didn't always have fans everywhere he went. the only thing that is changed

is now he is president, he doesn't like being critique. >> he famously went to the 2011 dinner which barack obama stood up and made fun of him during the birthing controversy. i would think for the kick of being able to be the star of the show as opposed to sitting at a table and taking abuse from the previous president that he might have wanted to do it. he may come back in a future year but right now he's trying to send a strong message to the press, he ripped the media at that sea pack speech and i think this was just a little kicker or kick in the pants to the press corps that he doesn't much like. >> it's a kick in the groin. >> i cleaned it up for you. >> i'll say it, you don't have to. howard, thank you very much. by the way, sean spicer will join janine. oh on her show. i'm sure they will talk about this and maybe he can lend some

information as to trump's decision to not attend the dinner. don't miss media buzz with howard kurtz this sunday 11 am eastern right here on fox news channel. check your local listing. meanwhile president trump talking today with two governors to discuss replacing obamacare. that was a leaked draft showing weekend coverage for many americans. here are details from the bureau where repeal and replace legislation will come from congress but governors will have to deal with much of the implementation what do they want to see? >> one of the biggest concerns for many of these governors is medicaid and how any repeal and replace plan will affect it. the reason for that is under the affordable care act, 31 states and the district of columbia expanded medicaid to make more people eligible. since 2014, that since 2014, that has added up to about 11 million more people on

medicaid. the federal government has been covering most of those costs but if republicans move forward with a plan to cut funding, that could lead the state and hard spot. red state governors are pushing congress to give the states more flexibility and freedom in how they administer healthcare. this afternoon they met with president trump at the white house to discuss those plans which scott talked about on friday. >> i do believe people have to have skin in the game and if they don't, money gets wasted. given give the states flexibility. i've known sec. price for long time and i think he will do everything he can to do that. >> in ohio, john kasich was also at the white house where he met with the president. afterwards he said the federal government needs to get out of the insurance business altogether or things will only get worse.

>> this next week will be a big one for the future of healthcare in the u.s. tell us what's going on. >> absolutely. it's the beginning of what will most certainly be a very long road for whatever ends up replacing obamacare. on monday republican leadership is expected to formally introduce their ripley repeal replaced plan but the draft that was leaked this week is anything but final and will go through lots of changes as it works its way through committees. that process is expected to take weeks if not months or you also have the governors will be on capitol hill on monday making their case to lawmakers and on tuesday you can bet the president will certainly bring up healthcare in his joint address to congress. thank you very much. >> thank you. republicans grappling with a wave of anger from constituents back home. many of them concerned about potentially losing their health insurance under obamacare. some lawmakers, even canceling planned town hall while others like alabama congressmen are facing a backlash hat on. >> i support defunding planned parenthood.

[inaudible] we have over 3000 health centers funded by the federal government. >> he is following the story for us. brian, this is more the same we've been seeing for weeks now. >> it is. it's what we've been seeing all week, packed town halls where constituents, mostly liberals show up to voice their concerns and protested hundreds of people gathered at city hall this morning in hoover alabama hosted by gary palmer, reportedly nearly all inside were liberals, topics that came up include obamacare, planned parenthood, immigration and more. on friday night, more than 100 than 100 people protested outside the hotel where mitch mcconnell was meeting with republicans in his home state of kentucky. on thursday night arizona republican spent 90 minutes

facing feisty voters, many democrats and other republicans are choosing to face the townhall heat head-on. the new jersey governor knocked down the rumors that townhall meetings are being filled with paid protesters. >> not my knowledge, i've never experienced paid protesters and i don't think don't think that was true the other night. >> lance, to their credit, they have continued to have town halls despite the heat. >> some are opting out. >> they're acting not to go to these things. some are inviting lawmakers out of anger and a cardboard cutout stood in for bob portman in ohio on thursday. then there is texas republican representative louis gomer who said he's not having public town

halls in person because the public safety concerns. he said these public safety concerns are posed by violent streams of the leftist ideology. he invoked the shooting of gabby giffords printed that gifford said lawmakers should have courage and meet their constituents. left-leaning group indivisible has published a handout on the web giving step-by-step instructions on resisting president trump's agenda. tim murphy in philadelphia did not hold a town hall citing this very guide. some believe not showing up to town halls could backfire. >> it's tough. democracy is a messy business. there is anger, but i would say, my, my prediction is if we look back in two years, we will see it's the republicans who actually went into these rooms and devoted as much time as they needed to to exhaust their constituent concerns and they will do better than the ones who

hide. >> even the nation's most most vulnerable democrats like claire mccaskill, up for reelection, are avoiding townhall meetings as well. >> when you hear somebody like gabby giffords and what she went through, to advocate and say go out there and meet with their constituents, that says a lot. this woman almost died and she would still do it all over again >> there are a lot of politics involved whether or not people want to put themselves in these town halls. a lot of videos are going viral. >> all right, thank you so much. new signs the trump administration may be taking aim at the marijuana industry. why some legal pot supporters say they are bracing for a fight that's next. because when they ship with us, their business becomes our business. ♪ that's why we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. ♪

new developments and the battle over trumps new travel ban. the department of homeland security found insufficient evidence that citizens from the sovereign seven countries targeted by the band pose an actual threat to national security. this is a federal judge ordered to work with attorneys representing travelers who were stopped from entering the u.s. rick leventhal has more when president trump's executive order went into effect, temporary barring temporary barring travelers from seven predominantly muslim countries from entering the u.s. it's part protest in lawsuits. it also affected far more people than originally claimed by the administration. >> the white house, the president said there are only 109 people who were minimally inconvenienced by the executive order, and executive order, and after the first time the government has revealed there are over 700 people who had some contact with customs and border's protection over

regarding the order. we don't even think that number is complete. >> in a hearing on friday morning they were handed a list of names but no other information to help track down the 746 people who may have been wrongly barred from entering the country in the first 26 hours after the band took effect. >> we are trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle with pieces scattered around the world. the white house already has that information and they could disclose that tomorrow if they wanted there are still questions about how a new executive order, expected next week might impact this and other cases. >> what we are working with is a 26 hours slice of a much larger problem which begs the question of what the government is hiding and why they are hiding it.

the justice department declined to comment on the specifics of this case, but in court u.s. attorneys told the judge they cooperate by giving lawyers any additional information on all of the people who were turned away. this issue was not raised during today's off-camera white house press briefing but it's expected a new order to be issued next week will allow anyone holding a legal visa to enter this country no matter where they are coming from. >> turning to weather. the weather is taking quite a turn. an ugly one in the northeast where mine of severe storms are moving in after days of sunshine and record high. meteorologist adam is in the fox news weather center. boy, did it get from nice to nasty. >> it happened really quick. it's not just the rain which is currently happening across the east coast, it's also a change in temperatures and people are seeing it across the midwest, the planes and stretching into the northeast. now 27 degrees in chicago, 32 degrees in minneapolis, these these areas were experiencing extremely warm weather and now seeing that change but we can look at the 24-hour temperature change for this will just

indicate how this cold blast of air has worked its way in, especially the mid west. look at cleveland. as of right now, 40° colder degrees colder than this time yesterday. you get the warm air lingering along the coast, that's when you see severe weather. we've we've seen it so far this afternoon into this evening. it's kind of exactly what we expected. here's what it's like out there as the showers continue further and further to the north, really targeting running up closer to new england here it is, some of the heaviest showers stretching from philadelphia up towards new york and then further to the north, only one severe storm at this point, but throughout this entire area are spots where we could see or have seen severe weather. this is our severe weather we are paying attention too. as the system continues, we are going to be clearing and cooling. i expect temperatures in the northeast to be dropping just like we were seeing in the midwest come tomorrow.
