7:03 am
microphone stopped working before "the star-spangled banner" and he egged on the crowd. ♪ and the home of the brave >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." we're in the historic east room of the white house. it has served as the backdrop for many of the most important presidential moments over the last two centuries. >> it really is incredible to be here this morning. >> oh, boy. >> it's an honor to be here. >> it really is an honor. we should tell you that the long hallway leading into the room which you see behind us is called the cross hall. of course it has become a very familiar sight for announcements, celebrations and swearing ins. president trump's walked down the cross hall to introduce his supreme court nominee neil
7:04 am
gorsuch. president obama used the hallway on the night he announced the death of osama bin laden. other presidents have made that same dramatic walk to the east room and this morning, it is our backdrop. >> we've seen many historic moments. it was cool just walking down the hall knowing the people that have walked there. as charlie mentioned the white house has 132 rooms. we're in the east room which is one of the biggest. it fills this entire side of the first floor. the cross hall cuts through the heart of the white house connecting the east room to the state dining room. this morning, we will bring you intimate look at parts of the mansion where every president has lived since 1800. >> we're happy to have john dickerson here with us throughout the morning. he talked to president trump about his first 100 days in office and the biggest challenges that lie ahead. >> and minutes ago, the president briefly stuck his head here in the east room to say hello. his plans are in the spotlight after congress agreed to a $1 trillion bipartisan budget agreement last night. it will fund the government
7:05 am
through september. >> he said hello and said the rest is take away the micro phones. the domestic spending deal amid new threats from north korea, overnight the communist country warned it will carry out a nuclear test at any time and at any location. margaret brennan is outside the white house on the north lawn. mar ga gret, good morning. >> north korea said today it will continue its nuclear weapons program in defiance of the trump administration's warnings. this as kim jong-un carried out a ballistic missile test just hours after the trump administration drew a hardline. >> we cannot let what's been going on for a long period of years continue. >> reporter: president trump rarely minces words when speaking of enemies, but instead he expressed empathy for kim jong-un whose nuclear arsenal is his top foreign policy challenge. >> what do you make of the north korean leader? >> i really have no comment on him. people are saying is he sane? i have no idea.
7:06 am
i can tell you this and a lot of people don't like when i say it, but he was a young man of 26 or 27 when he took over from his father, when his father died. so obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. >> reporter: on friday the trump administration formerly offered kim jong-un a chance to negotiate the end to the stand off. a nuclear powered u.s. navy carrier sits within striking distance of north korea. president trump's strategy appears to center on a mix of public flattery and pressure on china to control kim jong-un. >> i would not be happy if he does a nuclear test. i will not be happy. and i can tell you also, i don't believe that the president of china who is a very respected man will be happy. >> not happy mean military action? >> we'll see. >> reporter: the president explained he decided to put aside u.s. trade disputes with china to encourage them to influence the supreme leader. >> i think that, frankly, north korea may be more important than
7:07 am
trade. trade is very important. but massive warfare with millions, potentially millions of people being killed, that as we would say, trumps trade. >> reporter: this weekend president trump invited philippines president rodrigo duterte to the white house. administration officials say he will raise human rights concerns. duterte has signed off on the extra judicial killings of thousands of his own people and even personally bragged about shooting some himself. norah? >> that has created some controversy. margaret, thank you. in the "face the nation" interview the president said repeatedly that obamacare is dead. but republicans in congress haven't agreed on a replacement. the president told thousands of supporters in harrisburg, pennsylvania, that he will keep that promise and many others. major garret is outside the west wing of the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning. whatever president trump says and it varies from time to time, the 100-day marker mattered to
7:08 am
him. last week he had his white house team pushing obamacare repeal and tax reform and this morning the president's re-election campaign, there is one of those, as a new tv ad touting 100 days of accomplishments. >> who doesn't cover preexisting conditions obamacare. it's dead. >> reporter: with his own health care bill on legislative life support president trump pronounced president obama's signature law deceased. but said one of that law's key benefits would be included in his own health care overhaul. >> preexisting conditions are in the bill. and i mandated it. i said has to be. >> reporter: the latest version of the bill to repeal obamacare does not guarantee coverage for preexisting conditions. it specifically allows states to opt out of that mandate. mr. trump suggested another redrafting may be coming. >> this is evolved over a period of three or four weeks. now, we really have a good bill. i think they could have voted on friday. i said just relax. don't worry about this phony
7:09 am
100-day thing. >> reporter: the president spent his 100th day in office at a rally in pennsylvania and as is customed teed off on the media. >> they are gathered together for the white house correspondents dinner without the president. >> reporter: presidents traditionally attend the annual function and tolerate a bit of roasting. but mr. trump declined. >> i think he's in pennsylvania ba because he can't take a joke. >> there is no place i'd rather be than right here in pennsylvania to celebrate. >> reporter: supporters in the packed arena were not concerned about the president's few accomplishments in his first 100 days. >> he stands up for what he believes and follows through. >> it's only 100 days. rome wasn't built in a day. >> reporter: the president also said another irs audit on his latest tax returns will force
7:10 am
those to be kept under lock and key. some congressional democrats have said they will block all attempts to achieve tax reform until those tax returns are publicly released. >> thanks, major. we now have more of john dickerson's conversation with president trump. the face the nation anchor asked the president what he has learned in his first 100 days on the job. >> give me another thing you learned that you will adapt and change because all presidents have to. >> i think things generally tend to go slower than you would like them to go? why? >> just a system. it's just a very, very bureaucratic system. i think the rules in congress and in particular the rules in the senate, are unbelievably archaic. and slow moving. and in many cases unfair. in many cases you're forced to make deals that are not the deal you would make. you would make a much different kind of a deal and forced into situations that you hate to be forced into. >> john dickerson joins us now
7:11 am
at the table. john, good morning. >> good morning. an interesting interview yesterday. i was fascinated to hear him say he has had tougher jobs than being president of the united states. did he elaborate on what that is? >> he was doing a course correction because earlier in the week in interviews he said he didn't realize how tough the job would be and he thought it would be easier. so i think he was balancing out his remarks on that. he is frustrated by the pace of things in the senate. he's not the first president to be frustrated by the pace of things in the senate. the founders made it that way. they made it to be frustrated. those deals he's talking about are the compromise that the system forces you into. but you know, woodrow wilson said a president can be as big a man as he wants to be but then he actually got into the job and what did he do? he complained about those darn senators who kept thwarting him in what he wanted to do. this is a presidential -- >> the biggest takeaway for you? >> the biggest takeaway is that the president is -- is -- wants to move faster and is bristling against -- he was anxious to show the accomplishments but
7:12 am
wants to move faster. >> thank you. i know you'll return throughout this broadcast here at the white house. republicans and democrats in congress announced overnight that they reached an agreement on a massive spending bill. some of the -- president trump's key policies are not included. the $1 trillion bill would fund the government through september. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. both parties are calling this a good agreement with democrats in particular, crowing about the fact that they managed to block some of president trump's key demands. for instance, the deal includes $1.5 billion for more border security, but the bill specifically states that the money cannot be used to build a new border wall. the bill keeps funding for planned parenthood in place through september and democrats say that it keeps 99% of funding for the epa. an agency that trump, mr. trump, had vowed to cut. on defense, there is a bump in military spending of $14.8 billion, about half of the $30 billion that the white house had
7:13 am
been asking for. other notable features of the spending package, it permanently extends health care coverage for coal miners and provides $68 million to help reimburse local police forces for their role in protecting president trump when he travels to his homes in new york and florida. this is the first big bipartisan piece of legislation moving forward since president trump took office and we're expecting, charlie, that the house and senate will vote on it early this week. >> nancy, thanks. president trump's tax reform plan was unveiled by treasury secretary steve mnuchin and national council director gary cohn. he is a registered democrat and a former president and chief operating officer of goldman sachs. good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> do you have the votes for health care? >> do we have the votes for health care? i think we do. this is going to be a great week. we're going to get health care down to the floor of the house. we're -- we're convince wed have the votes an keep moving on with our agenda. we rolled out our tax plan last
7:14 am
week. so we're going to continue to drive president trump's agenda forward. >> you rolled it out with one page. when will we see the details and the remaining of it so we'll have some sense between cuts and where the revenue might be increased? >> charlie, as you said we did roll it out with one page and we rolled it out with one page for a specific reason. we want to get enormous amount of input before we draft the final bill. when we deliver the final bill, we are going to have a bill that is bought into by the house and the senate. you have been talking about how difficult it is to get things through congress. we understand how difficult it is to get things through congress and how it's designed to be difficult. we understand that. we're going to make this tax bill work and wait to make the tax bill work is to work with congress before we draft the bill. that's exactly what we're going to do. >> right now there seems to be a lot of conversation about how it's very helpful to the wealthy but what about the middle class? >> this is a middle-class tax bill. >> how so? >> middle and lower class tax bill. that's how it's designed. i am confused why people don't
7:15 am
understand what we're doing here. if you look at what we've done, we've doubled the personal exemption in this bill. we've taken the personal exemption for a family of two, to $24,000. the median income in the united states today is somewhere between 56,000 -- $56,000. you take the $24,000 away from the $56,000, you've got taxable income of $32,000. 10% rate, that's $3,000 a tax. if you have one or two or three children and we give you $1,000 tax credit you could end up with a very marginal single digit tax rate to no taxes whatsoever. that to me is a middle income tax cut you will owe no taxes potentially. >> but you're eliminating the estate tax? >> we are. but we're eliminating deductions. we're eliminating the deductions added to the tax legislation over years to favor the wealthy. the wealthy have deductions. middle income people and lower income people don't have
7:16 am
deductions. wealthy people have deductions. so we're going to make wealthier people pay taxes on a much broader swath of their income. >> and will it be revenue neutral or are you comfortable adding to the deficit in the short term in order to increase growth? >> as i said, we're working with the house, we're working with the senate, we had a great meeting with the leadership last week. we are going to go through the tax plan in its entirety. we don't know what it's going to score yet because we're going to work on very specific details. we're going to eliminate as many of the deductions as we can. we think we're going to get them all out. if we get them all out i'm positive this is going to score quite favorably. >> do you believe you can make it up by simply eliminating deductions, the difference between the tax cuts and what you teeds to make up for them, you can make it up with deductions? >> we can broaden the base significantly. we're going to tax a lot more revenue and income, but we're going to tax it at a lower rate. instead of taxing at a high rate, but subtracting a lot to get to the taxable income, we
7:17 am
will tax a much bigger numbers at a smaller rate. yes, we believe we can make that work. >> what's it like for you, gary cohn, what's a nice registered democrat boy doing working in a republican administration? >> who worked for goldman sachs. >> i'm working here to drive the president's agenda, to make america better for all americans. >> i know that. but what's it like for you personally? are you enjoying the job we hear reports about roaring factions in the white house, them versus us? tell us what it's like for you? >> look, i came from a very team oriented environment. the white house is no different. we're a team oriented environment. the president has put together a phenomenal team of advisors. the president likes lots of different opinions. which is the exact way i have worked my entire life. i used to working in an organization where people are allowed to and encouraged to express their opinions and express their views. >> disagreement is good? >> disagreement is good. this white house is no different. the president wants to hear
7:18 am
everyone's opinion and he wants to hear both the pros and cons of every decision and he encourages that. i'm very comfortable in that situation. >> first of all we're pleased to be in the white house. >> yes. >> and there's much to talk about. thank you for coming. >> thank you for coming. >> pleased to have you in the white house. >> thank you. >> we appreciate you getting up so early. >> we will talk -- >> this is not early. >> getting up this early for a long time. >> we'll talk to more white house insiders coming up including chief of staff reince priebus and press secretary sean spicer. plus, what president trump told john dickerson inside the oval office about the unique features that help him do his job. an investigation under way after a gunman killed one person and hurt six others at a pool party in san diego. officers killed the suspect, 49-year-old peter selis at the scene. witnesses said he was holding a beer in one hand and a gun in the other and described him as calm. police say the victims were black and hispanic.
7:19 am
selis was white. they're looking into motives behind the shooting. the powerful storm system that killed at least 16 people is barreling toward the east coast. up to four tornadoes tore through east texas over the weekend killing four people there. now the same system is blamed for four deaths in mississippi and tennessee. further north dangerous flooding in arkansas and missouri killed at least eight people. missouri's governor has declared a state of emergency and the national guard has been called in to prepare for what is only expected to get much worse. members of the first family have unprecedented roles in the white house. ahead, how the president's most loyal advisors are shaking up th,, good morning from our kpix5 studios in san francisco. up to 17 degrees above average. right now as you get ready to kick start a brand-new month, it's may 1st, and our temperatures are in the 50s. it is now 50 degrees in san jose going up to a high there today of 86, it was 85

7:43 am
i'm on cities mystic. >> do you think so? >> i think so. this will be one of the fastest pieces of signature legislation to go through for a president since roosevelt, i believe. so people make so much of the stimulus bill that barack obama put through. but, remember, that was prebaked during october during the financial meltdown and people on both sides of the aisle were writing bill they passed in february. but other than that, bush 3 passed the bill in june, reagan was in august. 41, bush 41 wasn't until a year and a half later, so this would be very quick for president trump to get this thing through. >> following up on that, do you have to have tack reform by the
7:44 am
end of the year? >> i think we'll have it by the end of the year. i think that's a goal. >> it is said the presidency has been changed by donald trump and the presidency has changed him. how has he changed? >> well, i wouldn't say he's changed. his views are the same and his positions on trade and the kmm and foreign policy are the same. >> he talked about nato in a way -- he talks about it differently. he talks about china differently than he did during the campaign. >> nafta too. >> let's take that for a second. nato, his position is countries need to pay up and pay their fair share. you remember when the secretary-general walked out to the podium right over there, one of the first things that came out of his mouth is it's time the countries pay up. i would say this. his positions are the same.
7:45 am
but positions he's call um others. look at president xi. what's happening is president xi is using his position. as far as an overall question, i think it's an enormous job. i'm sure you filming, me sitting here taking questions from you, it sort of changes you, right? it sort of makes you think about things a little differently. that changes eve s everybody. >> will has been a lot of tense connen very sags. can you imagine a scenario where they sit face-to-face and have a conversation?
7:46 am
>> not right now i can't. unless the person was willing to disarm and give up what he's put in mountainside across this country and give up his drive for a nuclear capability and icbms. i think the answer's probably not and i don't see that happening. but we're going to need a lot of cooperation around the lesion and leaders around the world in order to get this under control. >> would that be a change in tax reform? >> i think you're going to see that. certainly as i said earlier that balloon is going to get pops. >> all right. reince priebusing we'll have to,

john f. kennedy. >> such history in this building. the dignitaries and the presidents have taken this route for addresses and news conferences. and coming up, sean spicer will join us at the table to talk about working with president trump and what happens before he meets reporters every single day. >> that's right. right now we're going to bring you more of john dickerson's interview with president trump. they spoke inside the oval office about the decisions the president makes there. it's all covered in this extended interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." john? >> norah, thanks. on his 100th day, i spoke with the president in the oval office. we discuss his relationship with barack obama, how he realized the magnitude of the office and how he uses the room. every president makes the oval office theirs. what have you done to make this yours? >> well, a lot of things. we had these incredible flags including the american flags. they were in different rooms and they were always being pushed around because they didn't have enough room.
8:02 am
i said, how beautiful. the base, the flags, army, navy, marine corps. i mean, just so beautiful. just so beautiful. coast guard flag over here. and i said, well, let's see how they look in the oval office. so the flags are up. the picture of thomas jefferson i put up. the picture of andrew jackson i put up. because they said his campaign and my campaign tended to mirror each other. so we did a lot of -- actually, we did a lot of work. it's a much different look than it was previously. >> what would fred trump -- >> that's my father. and i have one coming of my mother. >> what would he say? >> he'd be proud. he was a great guy, good heart, tough guy. great heart. and he'd be very proud. >> you said the white house is like a cocoon sometimes. tell me about that. >> well, i was very well known
8:03 am
as you understand prior to this. but that was a different type -- that was a different world. this is something you are really in your own little world. secret service, they're phenomenal, but they are all over the place. i mean, they are the real deal. they're all over the place. if i wanted to get out, drive my car to a certain location and go do something, you can't do that anymore. i haven't been able to do that for a long period of time, but all of that i understand. i guess i assumed that that would happen if you won. and most importantly, i think we're doing a very good job and i enjoy it. >> tell me about what you -- you do a lot of your work in here. >> i do. i'm here a lot. >> why in here and not other places? >> i feel very warm toward the oval office. it's a great symbol. also, when i have certain people that we want to negotiate -- for instance, i was negotiating to reduce the price of the big
8:04 am
fighter jet contract, the f-35 which was totally out of control. i will save billions and billions and billions of dollars, and calling from here and meeting here and having meetings on that contract i think gives you great additional power if you want to know the truth. >> so what -- >> other people have come in, big people from big companies have been to the white house 50 times. someone you know, the head of a major company, have you been to the white house? yeah, 50 times. so i said you have been to the oval office. he said, no, i have never been in the oval office. i brought him in and he started to cry. this is a tough person, by the way. came into the oval office and started to cry. now, this is a person with a magnificent office with beautiful glass walls and everything. you understand. you have seen those offices before. but there is something very
8:05 am
special about this space. >> someone going to behave like that in here, how do you know that people aren't telling you you want to hear? >> you mean with the tears? >> no, they see the oval office, they say yes, mr. president, who tells you no? >> i think when i have foreign leaders here, no matter what country, no matter how big, we had chancellor merkel. we had them all. they come here. they still take notice at the oval office. >> right. that's what i mean. >> they mean it. >> one of the worries about a presidency everybody tells you yes. nobody helps you figure out where your blind spots are. how do you -- how do you find that? >> i guess it's one of those things in life you have to figure out. maybe i have been figuring that out anyway long before i got here. but some things you have to be able to pig your out. but this is a special place. the white house is special. the oval office. very special. >> any other gadgets you have gotten installed here since you came? >> well, everyone thinks that
8:06 am
this is very ominous right here. see this? these are phones. these are very -- you know, very secure phones but this is a very ominous looking because of the red button. >> what does that get you -- >> well, that gets you a coke or gets you a pepsi. >> oh. >> one or the other. any other cola companies i should mention, right? it gets you something. but every time i press that, people -- they'll be sitting down. i've changed the way it works. i'll have people sitting here. used to be they never had chairs that anybody can remember in front of the desk. i have always done it this way. i have been at the desk, i have people here. usually they would sit on the sofas. but this is the resolute desk. a great desk with a phenomenal history. many great presidents were behind this desk and then some choose other desks. they have about seven desks that you can actually choose, but i like this. this was fdr, it was ronald reagan, it was kennedy.
8:07 am
it's -- some great presidents behind this desk. >> george w. bush said the oval office is around is because there are no corners to hide in. >> there's truth to that. there's no corners. there is an openness, but there's nobody out there. i have never seen anybody out there as you can imagine. >> what he meant -- it's all securi secure. >> yeah. that's true. >> when did it hit you, the magnitude of the office and regard will z o -- regardless of what happened, the buck stops with you. >> it's the bigness of the office, it's the bigness of the transactions and the deals. you look at the order planes. it's bigger than any order of planes. you look at aircraft carriers that cost $10 billion and $12 billion to build and submarines that cost $5 billion to build. it's the magnitude, but most importantly, you know, the decision is like when i made the decision to go with syria, the
8:08 am
59 tomahawk missiles, unbelievable technology. we have unbelievable talent. but those are tough decisions. those aren't like decisions that i'm going to buy a building. >> tough why? >> because it's human lives. >> killing people? >> killing people. and you can kill the wrong people too. you know, those things go off and they end up in a town or they end up in a city and you have another tragedy on your hands. so these decisions are unbelievable. you know, in terms of the importance because it's human. it's killing. i hate it. but things have to be done. >> how do you learn that skill? who do you call to say what it's like? > there's nobody you can call. >> did president obama did you any advice that was helpful? >> well, he was nice to me, but after that we have had some difficulties. so it doesn't matter.
8:09 am
you know, words are less important to me than deeds. you saw what happened with surveillance. >> difficulties how? >> well, you saw what happened with surveillance. and i think that was inappropriate. >> what does that mean -- >> you can figure that out yourself. >> well, the reason i asked, you called him sick and bad. >> look, you can figure it out yourself. he was very nice to me with words but -- and when i was with him. but after that there has been no relationship. >> but you stand by that claim about -- >> i don't stand by anything. you can take it the way you want. everybody is talking about it and frankly it should be discussed. i think that is a very big surveillance of our citizens. i think it's a very big topic and it's a topic that should be number one and we should find out what the hell is going on. >> i wanted to find out though, you're the president of the united states, you said he's sick and bad. >> you can take it any way you want. >> i'm asking you. you don't want to be fake news. i want to hear from president trump. >> you don't have to ask me.
8:10 am
>> why not? >> i have my own opinions. you can have your own opinions. >> but i want to know your opinions. you're the president of the united states. >> that's enough, thank you. thank you very much. my opinion. >> i want >> well, he was done with that conversation. >> clearly he thinks that president obama -- he talked about the warmth of their relationship, that is no longer the case. he thinks basically what he's said before which is the that president obama -- as he wrote in that tweet bugged him or tapped -- not bugged him, but tapped him is how he put it. >> it would have been interesting to hear but he didn't want to answer the question. but i'm curious about how you find -- found him. because there seemed to be two views. on one, he's supremely confident. very confident in the job he does and he will tell you he's doing a good job and on the other, he's wresting with the confines of the office.
8:11 am
>> he's absolutely confident. i think what he wrestling with the constraint all presidents wrestle with, but i think he's a also in some cases doesn't want to talk about those constraints because what he talks about and has written about and has in his private business career talked about is the power of the image. and so you want to look in his view of it, at least in our conversations like you have the world by the tail. >> when that ended were you escorted out? did someone lift you from the ground and show you the door? >> it was pretty clear i was to escort myself out or i would be moved along. >> it was a very good interview. >> it was time for our conversation to be over. >> very, very good interview. thank you, john. we are broadcasting from the historic room that was once used to hang presidential laundry if you can believe that. ahead, how the room has played a good morning from the kpix5 studios in san francisco.

history, and it's really -- it fills you with awe and wonder and excitement. >> and a sense of this great nation. >> exactly. >> we were out on the balcony looking at the washington monument and jefferson memorial and said, this is our country. >> it's true. it's heard not to feel pride. >> and now you get to work for it. >> yes. and it's a great honor and a privilege. i never thought i would be in this situation, but i'm humbled by the opportunity to make a positive impact. >> one thing. we want to invite you back here for serious conversations about what you're doing. >> i would love that. >> we sort of coaxed you to sit down. that was very nice of you. >> we wanted to have you talk about washington, but a time we'd love to have you back and have a serious conversation about the country and its future. >> i would love. >> and bring jared kushner.
8:35 am
what is he like? >> he's the greatest. i'm slightly biased that thank you for coming by. >> thank you. >> thank you, mrs. kushner, for joining us aet the table. we appreciate it. jared, you're welcome any time. you still have 32 minutes to make it over here. actually a little less than that. about 20. >> about 20. >> 20 minutes. press secretary sean spicer, he's coming. he's briefed 42 times since inauguration day. before assuming this role he was adviser to the republican national committee, he served in the navy reserve for nearly 20 years and he's called daytime's tv's new star with exchanges with fiery reporters. here's look at sean spicer's ten years so far. >> good evening. thank you guys for coming. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period, both in person and around the globe. >> you're equating me addressing the nation here in a tweet? i don't -- i mean that's the
8:36 am
silliest thing i ever heard. if the president puts russian salad dressing on his salad, somehow that's a russian -- >> you told us -- >> please don't put words in my mouth. >> mean don't make me make that podium move. >> are you okay? >> are you kidding me? do you need some help? >> i think i've got this, but thank you. maybe. thanks, man. i'll see you in a minute. >> white house praes secretary sean spicer just slipped into the chair. he joins us in the east room. good morning, mr. spicer. >> i tried to keep ivanka here. she's much better. >> great to have you. >> always good to see you.
8:37 am
>> thank you. >> they call you daytime's newest star for your fire are exchanges. i'm wondering what it's like when you're sitting up there? >> it's intense. >> it seems to be intense every day. >> it's only one piece of a day, you know. about 40 minutes of a day. the rest of it is a lost more calmer and a lot more pleasant. i think the tv cameras intensify what goes on there, but most of the exchanges are very pleasant throughout the day. >> you're enjoying the job. there's rye more rumors about e stay or will he not. >> it's truly an honor to have this job in the white house and i feel very humbled. i love what i do and as long as the president wants me around, i'll stick in. >> he said you'll stick around as long as there's great ratings. >> keep tuning in. >> obviously there's tension between the press and the
8:38 am
president. what's your position in making that position optimal. you want the president to be tough and you want an opportunity to explain your own policies. >> i think that's right. i think that's the fundamental aspect of what we're trying to do. they have a right and a duty to get to the tough questions. i think there's a difference about the tone that occurs sometimes and an attempt to try to get a headline rather than a story. >> you're talking about the press or the president? >> the press. we want to make sure -- i think you saw jeff mason over the weekend how we've fwop to great lengths to become transparent, be accessful, and a lot of the behind the screens is now how we operate. i understand the press is going
8:39 am
to always want more transparency and access. we want to make sure it's their coverage. that's where i think a lot of the coverage comes when you take an issue out of context or try to create a narrative that isn't there that sometimes what you're saying at the podium isn't driving at the facts of what the issue is. i wonder how you're dealing with. >> again, we go out there every day armed with a set of facts. sometimes it's a "gotcha." if that's the game of who can stump the chump, then that's not really an exercise of trying to get to the bottom of the situation. if it's somebody trying o figure out how to get to another person, that's one thing. if it's an attempt to get to the un, we do that every day. if someone is trying to figure out how they can sneak a fast one on us and say, did you know line 78 is -- that's not an
8:40 am
attempt to get the news. e i'm always amazed at times of a member of a press corps who has been sitting on an question for five or six hours only because they want to play a gotcha question. the they're truly interested, i applaud that. you have to ask yourself what's the motive behind the tone and questions. >> are you watching melissa mccarthy movies or are you sick of it? >> i enjoy this job very much, and there's some -- it's north gnat when someone tells you they're praying for you or thinking of you. there's criticism that comes along with it. >> guess what? mike pence has worked hard and he's going to join us,,
8:41 am
well it's a perfect nespresso morning here, george. hold on a second. mmm. ♪ [mel torme sings "comin' home baby"] hey there. want a lift? ♪ where are we going? no don't tell me. let me guess. ♪ have a nice ride. ♪ how far would you go for coffee that's a cup above? i brought you nespresso.

8:44 am
we're in the east room having a remarkable day, a special day for us, getting a chance to see this magnificent building. feel the patriotism, the sense of history here, and we're especially glad now to be joined by the vice president of the united states. welcome. >> thank you very much. welcome to the white house. >> thank you.
8:45 am
>> again, with north korea, you were there. tell me the impact of being there and where you think this conflict is right now because the president -- i talked to john dickerson -- characterized the north korean president. >> it's a very tense time. as the president said again and again, north korea represents the most serious security threat in the world. he wanted me to go there, reafurthermore our commitment to south korea, japan, and our allies there. for me it was -- it was a chilling experience to look into a nation living under the kind of oppress everybody regime that
8:46 am
the kim family means. >> everybody knows ha the best way o get something done here is through china, with china. the president constantly talked about this relationship he has with xi jinping. what is the chpresident doing? >> the president has made it clear. we seeker a peaceable st. louis, but the key is -- the message he had me make clear, he had the secretary of state make clear and he's made clear is the era of strategic patients is over. now for more than a quarter of a century, the united states has in one way or another negotia d negotiated, had talks, waited patiently all the while. we've seen the regime and its headlong pursuit of weapons and the ballistics missile program. he said, he's over.
8:47 am
we're engaging our all lies in region to diplomatically isolate north korea, but what's really new here, i think it's a great encouragement that you have a president in president trump who's engaging directly with president of china, and we are seeing china do more than they have done before. >> and what is that? >> well, we have word of china turning back coal shipments in north korea. we have word of them beginning to reduce amount of commercial travel that exists between north korea. but as the secretary of state said at the u.n. last week, china needs to do more. we're calling on our allies in the region to reconsider their diplomatic relations with north korea. we're calling on allies in the region to reconsider their worker program. the key here is for the united states and our allies in the region working with china to provide the kind of economic and
8:48 am
diplomatic pressure that will result in the regime and pyongyang ending permanently their nuclear and ballistic missile. we also made it clear all options are on the table. in actions the world has seen the president take, in syria and afghanist afghanistan, president trump in a very real way has restored the credibility of american power and they know that -- they know that we are prepared to defend our allies and dae fend ourselvesing but we're going to drive toward a peaceable solution. >> we've made it clear, mr. vice president. to you have a sense of what they want in return from us? >> the north koreans? >> yes, yes. >> i don't think we do at this point. we continue to see one provocation after another. this weekend began with another failed missile launch from north korea, even while the world community was discussing the issue with the u.n. security
8:49 am
council. >> how do we get at that to find out what he wants in return? what is the whole purpose here? >> i think north korea knows what the world community wants. world has been united for a century that i want to know ha they want. i'm curious about what they want. >> they want an end to sanctions. >> i think this is a terrific question because one of the things secretary of state secretary tillerson has made clear is that under president donald trump, we're not going to negotiate to get the right to negotiate. we're not going to negotiate to get at the negotiation tachblt north korea knows through u.n. actions in the past, through announcements by the u.n. community, they need to abandon their nuclear program, abandon their ballistics missile program, they need to stand down in a very real sense to engage the right of the community going forward. >> mr. president, can i ask you because congress finally reached
8:50 am
agreement on this. so there won't be a government shutdown but it does not include money for the wall and it does continue funding for planned parenthood. are you disappointed? >> we couldn't be more pleased that thanks to president trump's leadership and direct engagement, last night the leaders many the white house and both parties signed off on a budget deal. it will avert a government shutdown but more important than that, there's going to be a significant increase in military spending. our armed forces have been hollowed out in recent years. $21 billion in defense spending. i think american people are encouraged to hear since our inauguration that illegal border crossings are down 60-plus percent in this country. and in this bill, there's a down payment on additional border security. i'm also pleased to see as the president was insist tent on
8:51 am
that we're providing support for health benefits for coal miners and right here in the district of columbia we're looking at disadvantaged children. this is a budget deal, a bipartisan win for the american people and the president signed off on the parameters early yesterday. republicans and democrats reached a deal with the white house last night. i think that's good. >> there was compromise. there was compromise, yes. >> the president told john dickerson over the weekend it has been a learning curb for the republican partd and for himself as well. do you feel that? >> well, for me, it's been just an incredibly humbling experience o be able to come to this billing every day to sev as vice president to president donald trump. but i think for our colleagues on capitol hill particularly as we continue to drive toward keeping our promise to repeal and replace obamacare as we lay
8:52 am
a foundation for the infrastructure bill. i think the learning process for many on capitol hill about governing has been moving forward. and i think this morning's announce mnts about reaching a bipartisan deal on budgets, i think the american people can be encouraged that washington is works again. thanks to the strong leadership of president trump. thanks to his direct engagement of members of congress. >> thank you, mr. vice president. we're out of time. >> i would like to come to wednesday night dinner ha thank you so much for joining us. we also want to thank everyone at the white house including the communications team and all of the staff who have been so gracious. their help has been crucial in bringing this special broadcast to the east room. our special thanks to the entire
