7:13 am
including threats posed by iran. mr. trump emphasized the only direct talks can produce a peace deal. he plans to meet with the leaders of britain, mexico and canada in the coming days. the argument over how many people attended president trump's swearing-in has been summed up in two photos. this is the national mall during friday's inauguration and this is the national mall at the same time of day during president obama's inauguration in 2009. on saturday, white house press secretary sean spicer accused reporters of trying to, quote, lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration. >> there's been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accobluntae. i'm here to tell you that it goes two ways. we are going to hold the press accountable as well. this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. both in person and around the globe. >> the fact-checking website politifact claims
7:14 am
which means false. counselor to the president kellyanne conway defended sean spicer yesterday. >> why did he do that? it undermines the credibility of the entire white house press office -- >> no, it doesn't. don't be so overly dramatic, chuck. you're saying it is a falsehood. they are giving -- sean spicer, our press secretary gave -- alternative facts. >> spicer said presidents are judged by accomplishments, not crowd sizes. >> ari fleischer joins us now. welcome. you watched the first briefing by spicer i know he's a friend. what concerns you? >> it's one thing to take on the press. that's a time honored tradition in washington, d.c. >> by republicans and democrats. >> absolutely. take them on when you have high ground. the part about how many people showed up in the audience of the inauguration, who cares? it is not worth fighting over. >> and where it
7:15 am
>> in terms of the question that the president did at the cia when he raised the question of crowd size in front of the heroes of the cia. >> one thing we have learned about president trump is he's authentic. he lets it rip anywhere he is because that's what he feels. whether he did it at the cia or wherever the issue is -- wrong fight. if you want to get into a fight with the press about them trying to delegitimize his presidency, that's fair game. but a fight over who had more people at the inauguration is not worth it. >> he came out swinging. that had to come from somewhere. >> it came from the president. i have known sean almost 20 years. he worked in the bush administration. this is a time when you are told, get out there and fix it and do it now. it doesn't give you time to prepare. can't develop the facts the way you want to. he did his job to represent the
7:16 am
they will ask questions. today he'll be challenged on it. he has to back up the statistics he used. my advice to sean is if you used a statistic that's wrong, correct it today. there is no harm done if you are press secretary saying i got a statistic wrong and walk it back. if you are making a broader point about the press make your broader point. cool the confrontation down a notch or three. >> can you see both sides? do you think the press is to blame in any way? >> here's where the press is to blame. they have been hostile to donald trump throughout. donald trump has been happy to return the favor. so that's future wall. the part about the mlk bust they said was removed, why didn't zeke miller, a good reporter from "time" ask a white house official to confirm it before he tweeted it. reporters are too fast to hit twitter and too slow to ask questions. >> he took it back. >> he did. it's a good point to ask before tweeting or reporting. good reminder to do that. let me ask
7:17 am
secretary, it is different from a campaign secretary, right? you have been white house press secretary. what's the onus, the job? as of your first day in the white house you are paid by the taxpayers. do you also represent the american people in some regard? >> you have three phases. on the campaign you are talking to the primary voters, then the american voters, then the world. >> in the white house? >> you're talking to the world. that's a sober responsibility. by the same token you are speaking for the president. your job is to faithfully and reflect the president for better or worse. >> here is what you wrote in november. i don't know what changes president-elect trump will make but if he decides to go around the press, abolish the daily briefing, not take a press pool to dinner. the reason he can get away with it is the main stream media lost the trust of the american people. do you believe the main stream media is in danger of losing the trust of the american people? >> charlie, according to the gallup poll
7:18 am
to tell the news fairly and accurately is at an all time low. this is a tragedy for the press and the public. it is vital the people accept the press's reporting as fact. because of the manner they have reported has led to a steady decline of people trusting the press. one of the reasons the press is so vulnerable to whatever changes donald trump will make. my advice to the press is it doesn't matter if the president praises you or criticizes you. your job is to be neutral, fair, and accurate. >> thank you. >> all right, ari, well said. the super bowl 51 match-up is set. the new england patriots take on the atlanta falcons. the pats beat the pittsburgh steelers yesterday 36-17. tom brady will compete for a record-breaking fifth super bowl ring, the most of any quarterback in nfl history. mvp candidate matt ryan and his falcons crushed the green bay packers
