secretary acosta is absolutely right. the private sector has really stepped up in a major way and we need to partner with them in a much more intentional way to ensure there are more and more opportunities that are meeting the needs of the jobs that exist. >> the president has touted many times how great his jobs numbers are, if he's creating jobs. many times he called the unemployment number efficient. what is his position now? they haven't changed in position. >> as you pointed out, it has led to an incredibly strong economic growth. just since january, employment has fallen 25% to its lowest level in 16 years. it has fallen even further. it has hit high after high after high. inflation figures just came out today and they remain rather though. as opposed to 1.6% last month. do you have cognitive optimism that is again among job creators reaching levels that we haven't seen in many many years. i guess i should just say if you look at the job numbers, more than 1,070,000 jobs have been created. as you created, several me

jim acosta and the network he works for don't know much about this subject.y don't have any clue as to how many should come ideally. they know very little of the economic effect those immigrants have on americans who already live here because they don't care enough to find out. they are utterly ignorant on the subject of immigration and yet, here is the amazing part. they are still filled with absolute moral certainty and boundless self-righteousness. buffoons the drunk guy at the party with bad breath who won't stop talking. boy is that embarrassing. council sewer of iraq world moments author and columnist mark steyn. did you see this exchange today, mark? >> yes, i did. first of all, i don't understand why jim ar costa is allowed to white house a white house press conference for this kind of show boating. you know, one of the reasons why we need immigrants to come here and do the jobs that americans won't do is because of jobs of americans won't do is drag jim acosta out of there, kick him to the sidewalk and say if you want to do the jim acosta show, there

acosta and other reporters were challenging him on it. the president was said to be very appreciative of that performance. even though miller got a lot of flak from journalists and other cob ser observers, for example, using the word cosmopolitan and going back and forth with acosta. but the president wants people like miller on tv defending him. makes sense there is talk inside the administration of elevating miller into a role he'd be doing it more often. doesn't mean he'll persuade anybody not already supporting trump. doesn't mean miller can help approval ratings. it could be about appealing more strongly to the base who is standing with him. >> perhaps this was a first time some took notice of stephen miller. it really is not the first time that he's had an interaction that was interesting, you know, with the press. but what is it about this particular moment that particularly struck a chord? >> i think there is a sense the president is at a fork in the road. he's acknowledged that by replacing reince priebus with john kelly. kelly h

we're certainly not putting this on jim acosta. you can watch the clip and choose sides.houldn't have tvs in the press room after all. but then jim acosta used the language of it seems like your policies are trying to engineer racial and ethnic percentages, or something, it sure sounded like something that you would read out of mine calm of or something. something we would have accused thor is -- at that point it went off the rails. >> this is all of a piece, the policy the trump administration announced yesterday, the president's trackdown on latino gangs. he's planning from i'm told so to the start talking more about building the wall. trump is pivoting back to the base in a hard and direct way. >> you're saying he's going to build the wall? >> and mexico's going to pay for it, but i know after that exchange with jim acosta yesterday they were high fiving each other behind the scenes. >> jim acosta, that's not only feeding into the narrative about the policy but also about the press. and at the same time i'm going to speak in defense of jim acosta this morning, because

secretary acosta is absolutely right. the private sector has really stepped up in a major way and we need to partner with them in a much more intentional way to ensure there are more and more opportunities that are meeting the needs of the jobs that exist. >> the president has touted many times how great his jobs numbers are, if he's creating jobs. many times he called the unemployment number efficient. what is his position now?

jim acosta was there for us. jim, tell our viewers about your exchange with the president's policy adviser, steven miller. >> reporter: that's right, wolf, steven miller came into the briefing room today to sell the president's new immigration plan, and as you said, it hopes to revamp the new immigration system but it would do so in a pretty striking way. it would prioritize english-speaking people coming into the u.s., highly skilled people coming into the u.s. which is not a tradition with foreigners coming into the united states. but i reminded him what it says on the statue of liberty. give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses to breathe free. he talked about undocumented immigrants coming into the united states. >> what you or the president are proposing does not sound like our past when it comes to immigration. it doesn't say anything about speaking english or being able to be a computer programmer. aren't you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country if you're tell

stuart: really getting into it with cnn's jim acosta.ct was immigration and the proposal they're on. we will deal with a lot more on that. joining us is the president next -- the president's proposal on immigration branded by many as racist, your take, please. >> that's the kind of smear that's designed to prevent and examination of a horribly flawed immigration policy. the policy is a total mess telephone legal. i came to america as immigrant in 1978 as exchange student and then i became naturalized. if i had played the immigration system, i could have by now brought 40 members of my family, my cousins, their cousins under the family unification provision. i bring my mom, my mom sponsors brother and she sponsors parents and on and on goes. this is a ridiculous system. it was intended initially so husbands could bring wives to america. there needs to be reform. most other countries are simple about it. if they need nurses, they take nurses. they need doctors, they take doctors, they need unskilled workers, they get unskilled workers. the

more from jim acostaer in the president's golf club -- acosta near the president's golf club in new jersey reporter: a day after his incendiary comments on race, president trump was steering clear of the cameras, and the white house was trying to stay on message, insisting the president had no regrets about his comments. still, we're told some white house officials were upset by the president's remarks. one adviser said his comments are not "disqualifying." that may explain why vice president mike pence was still backing the president as he explained to reporters down in south america. here's what he had to say -- >> what happened in charlottesville was a tragedy, and the president has been clear on this tragedy, and so have i. i spoke at length about in heartbreaking situation on sunday night in columbia, and i stands with the president and by those words. >> reporter: in the words of one white house official, "nothing surprises me. there are many around the president who saw him survive the "access hollywood" scandal during the campaign and believe he will survive this firestorm, as well

let's go to cnn's jim acosta with more. >> reporter: the white house is bristling at questions over its plan for sweeping changes to the u.s. immigration system that would install a points system for people coming into the country legally. the president's policy adviser, stephen miller, sparred with reporters who were asking questions about the president's proposal and seemed to suggest that the statue of liberty is not the beacon of hope to immigrants that it's been for generations. an inscription says, "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." here's what miller had to say -- >> i don't want to get into a whole thing about history, but the statue of liberty is a symbol of liberty enlightening the world, american liberty lighting the world. the poem that was added later is not part of the original statue of liberty. more fundamentally -- more fundamentally -- >> you're saying that does not represent -- >> i'm saying that the notion -- >> -- what the country has always been thought of -- >> i'm saying the notion -- >> i'm sorry -- >> no, it sounds --

and our jim acosta is like the goating dan rather.ut for donald trump to be backing neo-nazi and have -- he should be in the bart lets book of quotations, jim acosta, there are no fine nazis. trump is backing nazis with no understanding of what we did in world war ii and the horror of what nazis are. it was a jaw dropping moment never before seen in history. >> the access hollywood tape out in october, journalists wrote off his chances and now he's in the white house. is there a risk of an overreaction. >> not if we do our job. there are many commentators who do opinion pieces i'm talking about reporting. i'm going to look at one of these republicans i talked to, we have a fundamental problem that the president does not know right from wrong and is not stable. we keep hearing about these military leaders keeping the president from doing dangerous things. and i would say as somebody who spent 50 years as a reporter around washington that this is an unprecedented situation, a dangerous situation such as we've never seen for an extended

cnn's jim acosta has the details. >> reporter: as the president rolled out a new immigration plan that prioritizes english speak people coming into the u.s., the white house sent one of its top policy advisers stephen miller to defend. but miller reminded what the statue of liberty has said to generations of immigrants. give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. >> aren't you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country if you're telling them you have to speak english? can't people learn how to speak english when they get here? >> well, first of all, right now it's a requirement that you be naturalized to speak english. the notion that speaking english wouldn't be part of immigration systems would be ahistorical. secondly, the statue of liberty is a symbol of liberty and light in the world. it's a symbol of american liberty lighting the world. the poem that you're referring to was added later. it's not actually part of the original statue of liberty. but more fundamentally -- >> you're saying that does not represent -- >>

the vitriol that jim acosta approached it with.we are dealing with now any time the subject comes up, and it is frustrating. >> juan: this ends this whole argument that this is just about legal immigrants. you have a policy on the table that will cut legal immigration in half. >> greg: i agree with you for once. >> dana: it is hard not to agree with you because that is a fact. all right, "the new york times" said the justice department could be preparing to sue some of america's politics, but the department of justice fired back. we will have those details next. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs... you're like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls... and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. what are all these different topped & loaded meals? it's an american favorite on top of

let's bring in cnn's jim acosta now along with cnn political analyst april ryan. that was kind of a bizarre exchange. you know, i got where you were going with this. who are we? what is our definitional premise of who we want in this country? and miller wanted to dance. you know, talking about numbers and what you know and don't know. but at bottom, what do you think this policy is about for the white house? >> well, i'm not sure it was a highly skilled performance, if i could borrow a term there from the president's immigration policy on the part of stephen miller. it was very much attack the messenger and, you know, who would have thought that the statue of liberty doesn't mean what the statue of liberty means because a poem was attached to it later on and wasn't originally inscribed with those words. i think most americans understand, chris, what the statue of liberty is all about. it's odd to see the white house, the united states of america try to redefine what the statue of liberty means and i think it goes to a larger issue here, chris. you'll recall when t

i mean, you want cops to be your friend so that you can trust them in case something is-- danny acosta: absolutely, it's very true that you say that. and most of us were raised that way too, and that's exactly what we viewed, and we're trying to change that attitude. if there's problems, there's trouble, there's a need for somebody, they should be able to go to an officer, uniform or not. they should be able to identify one and be able to go without any fear. damian: and darrell mentioned this is a way to humanize y'all, if you will, that there is a human being behind that badge. danny: yeah, that's a difficult part that we play. we play a role, a worker role, and when we're working, we're thinking one way. but we are coaches, we are dads, we are tios, tias. we're everything that everybody else is too, and we try to show that too. with shop with a cop, the kids actually get to know us, and by the end of the events that we do, they see another person, not just the uniform. damian: and then this is a fundraising event, though, for y'all, so you can be able to keep these things going. dar

let's go to our senior white house correspondent jim acosta. covering the president up in bedminster, new jersey. this is major news. a very significant development and it comes on the heels of several other senior officials leaving. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. and i'm hearing from one white house official in the last couple of minutes here that it is believed that steve bannon resigned, but it is also believed that he may have been given the option to resign. so sounds like, wolf from a source i'm talking to in the last couple of minutes here that he was essentially forced out of this position, as chief strategist at the white house, and one of the big reasons why and we've heard it time and again, from people close to the president. the president does not like other people inside the white house stealing the limelight. you saw this happen time and again. steve bannon appearing on the cover of "time" magazine. steve bannon lampooned on "saturday night live." times this just got under the president's skin and as you know, over the last wee

this just a few moments away, by jim acosta he dismisses it.his is a time and opportunity for the president to speak with moral clarity. it took him just -- from ken frazier to condemn him, but it took him two days to responsibility to the raci -- that's unacceptable. and it's a fate yurt on the part of the entire republican party to allow this to happen. >> paris, how do you see it? >> i 100% disagree with everything he says, but that's no surprise. i was proud to see him disavow. why he does not associate himself with these hate groups. he did this with respect to david duke. he said it's a bad person, i disavow, and disavow from the kkk. he game a statement this weekend that wasn't strong in you have for a lot of people. he democrat name specifically. >> was it strong enough for you? >> yes. he says -- and that was true. when president obama after charleston same out and gave his wracks, it was a very tempered response, and he did not go into details. he did not name all of those people by name, all those hate groups by name, and democrat ca
