5:31 pm
>> morgan: good evening, i'm demarco morgan. president trump spent sunday focusing on a key job opening in his administration -- national security advisor. mr. trump interviewed at least four men on the short list to replace mike flynn who resigned last week. they are: acting security advisor keith kellog, former united nations ambassador john bolton, and lieutenant generals h.r. mcmaster, and robert caslen. the president spent the weekend with his family at the "winter white house" -- his mar-a-lago club in palm beach, florida. manuel bojorquez is there. >> the president spent part of sunday at his golf club, chatting up candidates for national security adviser, after the forced resignation of general michael flynn last week. and after his next pick, retired vice admiral robert harward, turned it down over concerns about control over staffing. the president's chief-of-staff, reince priebus, denied a power struggle. >> the president has said very clearly that the new nsa
5:32 pm
director will have total and complete say over the makeup of the nsc. >> the shake-up at the national security council includes the removal last week of a senior director, craig deare, reportedly after he made statements critical of the president. but at this campaign-style rally in melbourne, florida saturday - mr trump again targeted the media - blaming reporters for some of the challenges of his first month in office. >> i also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. >> he labeled some news organizations, including cbs news, the "enemy of the american people", a statement priebus defended on 'face the nation'. >> i think the problem that we've got is that we're talking about bogus stories like the new york times, that we've had constant contact with russian officials. >> senator john mccain raised concerns about repeated attacks on the press. >> that's how dictators get started.
5:33 pm
and i'm not saying that president trump is trying to be a dictator. i'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history. >> despite the administration's attempts to move past questions about russian interference in the 2016 election, there are renewed calls for action against the kremlin - even from the president's own party. republican senator lindsay graham: >> the russians were involved to hurt clinton. the bottom line is it is now time to punish russia. >> but the president said he would focus on other matters once he returns to washington tomorrow, including signing a new executive order on immigration. after the courts struck down his initial travel ban. demarco. >> morgan: john dickerson joins us now from washington, john always good to see you. >> great to be with you. >> morgan: we heard chief of staff reince priebus defend the president's declaration that the press is the enemy. is this now part of their strategy? >> well, it's kind of always been part of donald trump's strategy. he used it very well in the campaign. this is a little bit something
5:34 pm
new, i mean the idea is to have an opponent. he no longer has a campaign opponent so the press is very useful. the press helps him do that at times by writing stories that then have to be retracted. it's certainly something that thrills his supporters. it's not new for administrations, this has certainly happened in history before, but when the president uses the language he did, that is something that's new. >> morgan: john, as the president and many of his staff continue to blame the media, how long can this administration survive with this adversarial relationship? >> well, they can survive quite a while. the challenges to an administration will really come from the surprise thing that will happen coming from overseas and if the president can handle it. so far, the president has done a lot to both give concern and a lot of hope to his supporters on capitol hill. it's really a question of what happens in reality, not so much this battle with the press. >> morgan: and priebus repeatedly asked you to look at
5:35 pm
the president's accomplishments one month in, how do you sort of look at the early days of the trump presidency and stack up -- how does it stack up to other administrations? >> well, it's been fast-moving, chaos-inviting. some of the chaos is by design but he's also gotten some big things right. the supreme court, some of his other cabinet picks thrill republicans. his support for the keystone pipeline also and so on the big things, he's moving in the direction he wants. and the difficulties he's had, you know, he'll still have to work those out but it's not all chaos and it's not the finely-tuned machine he suggests. >> morgan: alright, john dickerson. always good to see you, john. thank you. >> thanks, demarco. >> morgan: folks in california are picking up the pieces after devastating storms slammed the west coast this weekend. at least three people are dead. more dangerous storms are rolling in. here's danielle nottingham. >> bulldozers cleared muddy debris from neighborhoods and highways buried by rockslides in friday's deadly storm.
