and jeff mason, president of the white house administration, also white house correspondent, morrow eliasson with us. npr news, and fox news contributor. jeff, peter boyer's article in esquire outlined some of the proposed changes. he spoke to an unidentified senior official in the trump transition team who told him this, the potential relocation reflects the view within the administration that i'm sorry, what has been the transition team, the coverage of term has been so hostile as to indicate that the press has abandoned its role as a neutral observer. how do you respond to that? >> i guess my response is that there is always going to be some tension between the right back white house press corps in the administration that it covers. that is a long historical fact. yes, there were certainly tension on the campaign as well. and we are hoping to have a constructive relationship and a new start with the administration when it comes into office on friday. the way to do that obviously is to have discussions about any changes that they want to make. and sean spicer committed that they will have

and we're joined tonight by jeff mason of reuters. he's the current president of the white house correspondents' association. and we welcome all three of you to the program. jeff mason, i'm going to start with you since you're standing out there in the cold. you have been covering this white house for eight years and i know there were contention times during the obama administration between the press and the president and the people around him, but how do you compare to what's happened in the last few days under president trump? >> well, it was certainly unusual saturday to have the president of the united states to talk about the media being the most dishonest people on earth and that followed by the statement you showed already by sean spicer in the briefing room. i can't think of anything to compare with that during my time at the white house. that said, today, the first full working day, this monday, the press has had pretty deep access at the white house. there were several spaces where we got to see the president's debriefings a

obama: jeff mason from reuters. jeff mason: thank you, sir. are you concerned, mr. president, that commuting chelsea manning's sentence will send a message that leaking classified material will not generate [inaudible] groups like wikileaks? how do you reconcile that in light of wikileak's connection to russia's acting in [inaudible] election? and related to that, julian assange has now offered to come to the united states. are you seeking that? and would he be charged or arrested if he came here? pres. obama: well, first of all, let's be clear. chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence, so the notion that the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished -- i don't think would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that the sentence that she received was very disproportional -- disproportionate relative to what oth

let's bring in jeff mason from reuters news agency. i believe the president of the white house correspondents association. is that right? >> that's right. >> shepard: how are things going there? >> in terms of the press? >> shepard: and the administration after the transition. >> it's been a busy first week. that's for sure. we have been having good access at the white house. we have to say that. they've been giving us plenty of opportunity for chances to see the president in action and get our cameras and reporters in there to ask questions and obviously he held a press conference today. these are things that we support. there's big issues that we're working on, but so far so good. >> shepard: the president, the vice president, defense secretary all going into the pentagon for a brief meeting and then we'll get the signing of these orders and the ceremonial swearing in of the defense secretary. jeff, on the bigger matter, there was discussion for a while about potentially moving the white house briefings to another location. have you

jeff mason from reuters. >> thank you, are you concerned mr.ident, that commuting chelsea manning will send a message that classified material will not generate a tough sentence for groups like wikileaks, how do you consider that in light of wikileaks connection to russia and julian assange has offered to come to the united states. are you seeking that, and would he be charged or arrested if he came here? >> well, first of all, let's be clear, chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. so the notion that the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished, i don't think would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, thatue process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received, and that she it served a significant amount of time, that it made sense to commute and not pardon

jeff mason, final thought here.r had a point yesterday when he said a reporter, zeek miller from "time" said the bust of martin luther king junior had been removed from the oval office on day one. he looked for it, couldn't see it. said it wasn't there. >> i would argue sean spicer blew it way out of proportion. those kind of mistakes will be pointed out and noticed by this administration. is that the fundamental point for the white house press corps, that it's going to matter more than ever to get it right and be more than accurate. >> it mattered in the obama administration, clinton administration, the bush administration. it will matter in the trump administration. everyone in the press corps and the press has that responsibility. >> jeff, do you feel you near a running war with trump the way he says he's in a running war with the media? >> that's his language. it's our job to report the facts, do our jobs. part of that will hopefully be from the perspective of the correspondents association. at the end of the da

i'll start with jeff mason whose term apparently is not up. thought we would be going out together, brother, but you got to hang around for a while staying put. >> jeff mason. >> thank you, sir. are you concerned, mr. president, that commuting chelsea manning's sentence will seasoned message that leaking classified material will not generate a tough sentence to groups like wicky likes? how do you reconcile that with things like russia's hacking of the election. julian assange has offered to come to the united states. are you seeking that and would he be charged or arrested if he came here? >> well, first of all let's be clear, chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. the notion that the average person that was thinking about disclosing vital, classified information would think it goes unpunished, i don't think would give that impression fromsenten has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very dis

joining me is jeff mason, president of the white house correspondents association. thank you very much. i know you've had meetings and discussions with sean spicer, the incoming press secretary and i know they say this is not a definite thing but they're raising the issue. explain to the public why it is important to have eyes on and access to the west wing itself, why being across the street or outside the complex is a completely different situation for the working press. >> it's very important, andrea. it's critical for journalists who cover the white house to be able to do their jobs and the way they do that is by having access to the people who make decisions, and to the people who communicate those decisions to the rest of the country, and to the rest of the world. for decades, the press has had work space behind that press briefing room that you just showed in that really nice clip earlier and it is very important to us to maintain that accessibility and that proximity to the incoming administration, just as we have for years and years. the reason that's impor

i will start with jeff mason whose term aimportantly is not up. ht we would be going out together brother, but you got to hang around for a while. jeff from reuters. >> thank you. are you concerned mr. president that commuting chelsea manning's sentence will send a message that leaking classified material will not generate a tough sentence to groups like wikileaks, how do you reconcile that in russia's hacking in the election and related to that assange is offering to come to the united states. will he be charged or arrested if he came here? >> well, first of all, let's be clear chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. so the notion that the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished, i don't think would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relativ

jeff mason is here the white house correspondent for reuters.re with us. >> my pleasure. arthel: even with those polls and play president trump saying he wants action in his first 100 days. when can we expect to see the new trump care if you will in place? willet received bipartisan support and the question also how long will it take for americans to know if it's a big improvement? >> well i think that's a great question and i'm not sure there's a clear answer on when americans can expect to see a trump care. i think it looks like the timetable for repealing obamacare is pretty rapid. as you noted earlier in your program republicans have started working on the budget resolution and expect to have it there. the deadline is towards the end of this month but there hasn't really been something put on the table that would replace obamacare. there are then some proposals that have been quoted that nothing that has consensus within the party no details from the president-elect either. that's kind of an open question. clearly it will be a big success fo

. >> joining me jeff mason, he met with sean spicer for two hours. >> lead what's going on now. >> it's our polls are not that high. we have a solemn obligation to report the news. particularly at the white house it's our obligation to be there, to have access to the people making decision, to have access to the president himself. >> i think the white house press corps in the white house does tend an incredible message to the american people how open we are. it may not be a lot of information that gets spread to the white house press corps, it's a such a statement for the american people. >> i agree. it's a symbolic place. this is open government that respects the principles of the first amendment which we are upholding by doing our job. >> sean spicer say we need more space. i take it you would not be oe opposed for any over load. >> i was making distinction with the -- there were a lieutenaot people interested in coverage of the obama administration. the brady room was sufficient. briefing as are available and want to, we were concerned about giving up that space, which is so importan

there is a lot of trip, but some early optimism, jeff mason and i and a few of our colleagues were able substantial meeting with sean spicer and stephanie grisham for the transition team in early january , and we walked away from that feeling as if there were unopened door of communication, good give and take, and a commitment by the transition , the president-elect trump plan to treat the white house differently than he treated the campaign, to treat the white house press corps in a different way than campaign correspondents were treated, and to offer things like the protected pool, air force one, and all that kind of stuff. that is important to maintaining eyes on the president and coverage of the white house. that sounds great, except for when donald trump had his first press conference, it was a melee that took place at trump tower last week. not only was it a melee, would be that unimaginable in the east room, but included things like him shouting down reporters, not granting questions, accusing cnn of being fake news. the meetings are important and i'm glad to hear progress, but w

, a quote with which you're very familiar from white house correspondents association president jeff masone could put that up, please. he said talking about this business of moving the press out of there, we object strenuously to any move that would shield a president and his advisers from the scrutiny of an on-site white house press corps. you know, the last eight years just invalidated that statement, that assertion, and strenuous hi? strenuously? why would president trump give a darn about how strenuously the white house press corps, what are they going to do, go negative on him, howie? [laughter] give me a break. >> well, given the relatively low opinion in which the president-elect holds the press corps in general -- lou: and vice versa. >> -- i'm sure he would shed zero tears in the press corpses has to relocate somewhere else on the white house compound. it's almost like an initial skirmish to see who has the upper hand in this continuing warfare or between the two sides, lou. lou: and this, as you wrote about on foxnews.com, this idea, this herd-like sort of coa lessens around the

extraordinary service to our democracy and with that i will take some questions and i will start with jeff mason whose term is apparently not up. i thought we would be going out together brother, but you've been hanging around a while. >> thank you. are you concerned that communting will not -- wikileaks, how do you compare that to last year's election and to that julian assange has now agreed to come to united states and with that would he be arrested or charged if he came here? >> first of all, let's be clear. chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. so the notion that the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished, i don't think would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received and that she had served a significant amount of time, that it made sense to com

jeff mason, head of the white house correspondents association told fox that his group will fight anyove because it undermines the reporting. we will see who wins this skirmish. >> bret: thank you. not a lot of sympathy for the press corps core period, but te will be pushed back. the wife of the man who killed 49 people at an orlando nightclub has been arrested. noor salman was taken into custody by fbi agents at her home in san francisco. a person familiar with the case says she is charged with obstruction. omar mateen was killed in the shoot-out. news accounts say the suspect was caught in istanbul today. the last man to walk on the moon has died. astronaut gene cernan was the commander of the apollo 17 mission in 1972, the last man distinction stayed with him for the rest of his life. >> i'm really not the last. there are kids out there that are going to take us back to the moon and beyond where we planned to go for a long time. it's somewhat of a misnomer but i tell you what. i wear that label with pride. >> bret: details of his death have not been announced. gene cernan was 82. >

. >> and you and i both spoke with white house press association president jeff mason, who said there'sntinuous conversations about whether the white house press corps will remain in the white house, as is. it's really a day by day thing. he didn't reveal all of the conversations taking place with a trump administration. but it's still not clear that the white house press corps may be forced to move. >> spicer is looking at that new location or space. and there was anonymous trump sport saying that the media was the opposition party, i want them out of the building. i don't know who was quoted as saying that, clearly one trump source said that, clearly, donald trump does not want media living in the east wing of the white house. a lot of white house continues are very anxious right now. no idea what's to come in the weeks to come. >> and you're formerly president of the white house correspondents association. >> i have been through that very fight, because the clinton administration very much wanted to throw us out of the west wing. they were looking at spots to move us to. and we had t

discuss it with reuters correspondent and president of the white house correspondents association jeff masonctor of the school of media and public affairs at george washington university frank sesno. >> let me begin with you, jeff, because you spent a long time over the weekend speaking with sean spicer about this. what did he say? >> i did indeed. my meeting with him was meant really just to get some more information from him about what their plans are. and he did repeat what he said in a written statement that was shared with others in the media that they're looking at having a bigger space for press briefings than the current james s. brady room. i emphasized to him the importance of that press room and it's very important for members of the white house press corps to have that space. it is -- it has 49 seats but it has been a very important space symbolically for the press corps, not only because of the briefings that take place there, but because of the proximity to the west wing and our ability to have access to the press secretary specifically but other senior administration officials

by sunday evening jeff mason and sean spicer had a long two hour meeting. they talked through this.each a total understanding but they did hear each other out. according the spicer, no decisions have been made. but there are a lot of possibilities. one option is to move the dailey briefings to a different building where there is more room for more journalists. let's play a clip. >> hey. >> hey. >> you got my note. >> about moving the press room. i did. >> and? >> don't let anyone know that you rote wrote it and don't mention it under any circumstances. >> move the press room? >> you mentioned it again. >> just across the street? we are not getting a swimming pool, sam. >> we are not getting a swimming pool but we can get much needed office space and we can put physical distance between the press and the president, and in a state of the art -- >> by start of the art you mean. >> a room with electricity. >> ct. >> we can't exile the press. >> that was totally like in the '90s. woulder now in 2017. >> yeah. >> you sat in that room for years and years covering clinton and then w. can yo

we can speak now to the white house correspondent for reuters, jeff mason.nt of the white house correspondent‘s association. good to see you, thanks for being with us. how do you sum up the first six, seven days of the trump presidency with all these executive orders? it certainly has been busy. they have given a lot of fodder for journalists and we spend a lot of time writing about all these issues including the executive orders on refugees, his changes on lobbying regulation today and his decision to start building a wall with mexico. he has had a busy week and has really started to work on taking ca re of really started to work on taking care of the promises he made as a candidate. it has been busy, but has it been a good week, looking for insta nce it been a good week, looking for instance at the fallout of the travel ban? it is not for me to say whether it has been good or bad. there certainly has been fallout from the travel ban. a lot of opposition and demonstrations in the united states and elsewhere in the world. i think they have realised the roll—

i will start with, jeff mason, whose term apparently is not up. i thought, you know, we'd be going out together, brother, but you got to hang around for a while. >> reporter: i'm staying put. thank you. are you concerned, mr. president, that commuting chelsea manning's sentence will send a message that we can classify material will not generate a tough sentence to groups like wikileaks? how do you reconcile that in light of wikileaks' connection to russian hacking in last year's election? and julian assange coming to the united states, are you seeking that or would he be charged or arrested if he came here? >> well, first of all, let's be clear, chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. so, the notion that the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished, i don't think, would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, that due processas carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime,

joining us right now jeff mason, the white house correspondent for reuters, david, our cnn political director, gloria bo borger, our cnn chief political analyst. he was very forceful in defending the president's decision to go ahead and seek some sort of federal investigation, for example, on voter fraud, which the president has suggested is massive and a lot of illegal immigrants were voting. he suggested the other night, what, 3 billion to 5 billion. no evidence of that. >> no. >> he is going forward with a full scale investigation. >> we don't know how that investigation would take place. there has to be a complaint according to justice correspondent pam brown for the justice department to investigate it. would he ask congress to do an investigation? congress seems uninterested, including republicans seem uninterested in doing that. the case he made or tried to make was that this is not just about 2016. this is about the integrity of the system, and he used examples of people who are registered to vote in two states at the same time. that, however, is not evidence of voter fraud,

i will start with jeff mason, apparently his time is not up! concerned that commuting the sentence of chelsea manning will send a message that leaking classified material to wikileaks is leaking classified material to wikilea ks is acceptable. leaking classified material to wikileaks is acceptable. and julian assange has now offered to come to the united states, are you thinking that or would he be charged or arrested if he came here. well chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. so the notion that... the average person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished i don't think would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it has been my view that given she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received. and that she had served a significant amount of time. that it made sense to commute and not pardon

anlum that of ours from the school of media and public affairs and now media correspondent and jeff mason, also introduced to you as the president of the white house correspondents association, now and from reuters. well, fair is fair, jim. you get first shot at that -- >> why are you saying that, frank? i think we heard some alternative facts there. regarding that press conference at trump tower. i just pulled up a clip from media. you heard sean spicer there say that he told me -- or i said that he told me that i would be thrown out if i tried to ask a tough question. not true. here's the quote. and this is what i said on cnn following the news conference. sean spicer, the incoming press secretary, did say to me that if i were to do that again, as an interrupt, i was going to be thrown out of this press conference. nowhere in there did i say, if i tried to ask a tough question would i be thrown out of the press conference. that he said that. that is -- an alternative fact. >> were you -- [ applause ] you know, i've been there. and we've all been there in that press conference, and it's

>> you want me to talk about it. >> jeff mason. he met with the trump team yesterday.ncerns did you express to them? >> we had questions on both sides. they asked us about how the white house press corp. worked with the -- went from there. >> there's concern early on are you concerned with -- >> yeah, they made a lot of progress with us. during the transition period. we talked early on when he went out for dinner did not bring a press pool. they put together one yesterday press pool and 13-members group who follows the president wherever he goes. >> there's going to be same kind of pool that's covered every president. >> yes. when he travels on air force one, when he goes abroad, when he goes out for dinner. >> what the biggest concern you have about possibly definiteuatidefinitefuation from tradition. >> he told us yesterday he going to have a daily something but it may not necessarily be a daily briefing. we would like it to be televised every day. that's something he is still mulling over. he told us yesterday, be prepared for some changes but we want to work with y

jeff mason. >> where's the president's thinking now on the supreme court?er to naming some nominees? and in a follow-up -- >> you get two? [laughter] >> [inaudible] >> okay. >> at the end of the obama administration, the number of prisoners in guantanamo bay was reduced to about 40. >> right. >> what are the president's plans for that prison? >> so on the first, i think that in the next week or so we should have an update on a nominee for the supreme court. >> [inaudible] >> it does. i think we'll have a nomination within the next couple weeks. he continues to make that a priority of his. on gitmo, i think you're going to see further action. i don't want to get ahead of president, but this is something that has been discussed x it is in -- and it is in his current decision making process how he wants to handle handle that. >> if i could just ask one more. you said that the president disagreed with the characterization of a rift with the intelligence community. >> that's right. >> do you, did you view his tweet about comparing the intelligence community to n

jeff mason said this.ject strenuously to any move to that shield the president and advisors from the scrutiny of an on site white house press corps. what is it about the physical relationship that's so critical. >> it is critical. george stephanopolous tried to lock the door that separates that press room from where the lower level press aides work. he had to back off because there was an uproar. you have very limited access as a white house correspondent. you can go in, ask questions of people in the press staff. maybe see somebody important coming up the driveway. that really does help you do the job. i know this sounds like a lot of whining to some people by white house correspondents but they are penned in there and i think this is ultimately not about having enough space for zillions of journalists. >> bill: what's the resolution to all this, do you think? >> i thought in the interview with me that spicer would perhaps back off a little bit and say we'll try it for a month or two or give some indicati
