i'm not going to defend jim acosta.not the role of white house reporters to express their opinions. it makes other reporters in the room look bad when he's out there expressing his opinion. ask a question, ask a hard question. you know what? what he could have done is say, it's a caravan, not an invasion. howie: let me move on to the media furor over president trump firing jeff sessions and naming on an acting basis this chief of staff, matt whitaker. is the media freakout justified? ari: i think it's appropriate to put scrutiny on i who is going to be acting attorney general. the fact that he wrote opinion pieces. tony snow, the former white house press secretary wrote negative pieces against george bush, then was hired as his press secretary. there is a history of people in washington writing pieces and sharing their thoughts. howie: ari fleischer bringing his per spell tough from his years in the white house past. ari fleischer. the national media are realizing the full magnitude of the most of destructive wildfires

this week it's jim acosta. they are sub-par journalists at a failing network and they crave attention. let's not put anything else to it other than it's a grandstanding effort by jim acosta. trish: attorney general jeff sessions submitting his letter of as is nation at president trump's request. misty, i know you have a background in sexual assault case, et cetera. what's your reaction to that video that we saw there where jim acosta is sort of wrestling this young white house up turn to keep the microphone. and we just learned moments ago he's no longer going to be able to have his reporting pass to be there at the white house. what do you say about that? >> i was hoping we would have the opportunity to talk about it. i was floored by acosta's conduct. revoking his pass was a necessity. forget unprofessional. that was unbelievable. an outright completely, completely unprecedented. really. that was so inappropriate. he should absolutely be extending an apology to that young lady who was trying to do her job. tr

and then comes jim acosta. they feel like they have the right to be rude, abrasive and commandeer the news conference and argue with the president. >> you have to believe they are little upset, the white house press corps that he has messed it up. >> if i were press secretary the next time acosta pulls that i would say that's the end not only today but for the rest of the week. and his colleagues would have surrounded him and threatened to tar and feather him and kick him out. >> they would had a ball with that. let's be honest. isn't there a time where you have to tell a district court judge to go to hell. the idea that you have to follow the district court judge and create rules and cannot run the white house the way it has been. >> to be fair to the judge, if you look at his ruling from the bench he felt like he was constrained by a private decision. that is idiotic in my opinion. this judge took a case in which you dealing with the nation reporter. it had nothing to do with conduct and decorum. and disrupte

acosta.suit has been filed against the president and others in the trump administration. brian joins us now. brian, walk us through this. >> reporter: this is a historic moment for press freedom in the united states. a lawsuit by cnn and jim acosta against president trump and several other top aids. ky shi can show you the stateme that begins by saying cnn filed a lawsuit in the d.c. district court that demands the return of the white house credentials of jim acosta. the wrongful relocation of his credentials violates cnn and acosta's first amendment rights. we have asked this court for an immediate restraining order requiring the pass be returned to jim and will seek permanent relief as part of this process. it means cnn is asking for a hearing today or tomorrow, some time this week to get a temporary order to get acosta's press pass back right away. then cnn will seek permanent relief to relief so this doesn't happen again in the future. >> is there any precedence? >> there is no case like

jim acosta's coverage of president obama was actually a little different. take for example this glowing coverage of obama at his 2012 and inauguration. >> obviously this is the moment that everybody is waiting for. and the first lady and president are walking down pennsylvania avenue. i feel like i should pinch myself right now. and, they are very, very close. >> acosta's overwhelming bias, it's not shocking. pretty much toeing the company line at fake news cnn. for eight long years, they just worshiped barack obama, they love the clintons. that claims to be facts first, but in reality they put their hatred before donald trump before anything else, every second, every hour, every day, pretty much. take a look. >> is this president trying to impersonate hugo chavez? vladimir putin? >> what a a great case officer of vladimir putin is. he knows how to handle an asset and that's what he's doing with the president. >> went to bc almost a shadow government come out and say we cannot side with the government. >> why was sympathy not shown for white nationalists an

but acosta i think embarrassed himself.nn put out a statement saying chris, acosta does the work for state tv. how do you sleep at night. chris: it was a hot story. i notice whoever the person was at cnn who i never heard of didn't fire back. like a lot of things in life. there can be two things that are to both true. one i think jim acosta i thought embarrassed himself, he misbehaved. we covered the white house with sam donaldson. to end your question by saying i want to challenge you mr. president, to continue asking questions and when you are told to sit down you keep standing up and kind of fight off an intern. but pulling his pass was clearly a bridge too far and it was a mistake. the president in his answer to my question by the and subsequently -- no big deal. i think they were stunned by the fact they lost and to a certain degree were trying to downplay the defeat. i talked to a couple of white house aids. they said we think it will be 60-40 we'll lose. howie: it put much of the media including fox news' of none con

cnn and acosta's lawyers say that acosta was denied due process. after all, he was surprised when he walked up to the white house that night and was told he was not allowed to enter. but the government lawyer right now in court is arguing that due process was followed. apparently they're claiming that because trump was critical of acosta in the press conference, that somehow was due process. we will see if the judge agrees with that argument or not. as i said, wolf, the conversation is still going on. the arguments are still going on in court. and we may hear a resolution in the next hour or so. >> i assume as you find out, we'll get back to you, brian. thank you very much. clearly lots at stake in this decision by this federal judge. let's get some analysis right now. jeffrey toobin, you're our lawyer. you've read the arguments on both sides. what do you think? >> well, i think -- cnn's argument under the first amendment is really their better argument. the argument that, you know, if the white house is going to set up a system where people get pr

and that's what jim acosta was doing.t's what all the reporters from different news organizations were doing in that press conference. and you can't have a situation where the white house can toss reporters out, take away their credentials for doing that. >> explain to some of the trump supporters who were out there why this is so important to make sure that the u.s. constitution is honored, including free press, due process. >> it really is a position that goes beyond politics or anything else. we want to have all voices. so if today it's jim acosta and cnn, tomorrow it can be someone from some other news organization, one you like better, you agree with their approach to the news. so this is about making sure there's a fair process and there's a due process principle. the d.c. court of appeals here has held that before taking away someone's press credentials, there has to be notice and opportunity to be heard, because it's such an important right. it goes to the liberty of the reporter, but the court said it's the ameri

reporter jim acosta from the white house called the video to the manipulative but others so it is proof of the journalists inappropriate behavior and debate has been raging in the media over whose side to take. it just is it crosses a line you don't put your hands i don't want him a cost to sort of wrestling this young white house intern jim acosta clearly never touched that white house intern that's just a lie and what i saw was a battery not by jim acosta but by the young white house aide if you can use a fake video use a fake video as you go all the way do something like this. so we have sarah huckabee sanders the white house press secretary pulling the credentials of jim acosta c.n.n. reporter and she then released a video clip of the incident which she called an inappropriate laying on of hands said that because he touched this this staffer of the white house who was holding the microphone this way that it was necessary to remove his credentials that was unacceptable behavior while she posted the clip and now we have people saying that it's a doctored clip the clip is distorted in

is. >> only breaking the story about acosta are about acosta. of that clip is peter alexander trying to defend him and says trump, i'm not a big fan of you, either. [laughter] here's what the media constantly screws up with the trump i grew up in queens and we don't have the money the manhattan kids have. we don't have prestige but were never assumed to be tough like the brooklyn and bronx kids. trump the queen. and you have to do everything big and hyperbolic and everything is tremendous and huge and the media will never get us. anyone in this audience is from queens you know what i'm talking about. that is donald trump. [applause] greg: morgan, apparently we have a lot of people from queens in our audience. do you think that banning acosta was a good idea? they did not really been in but took his past. >> i don't feel bad for him. let me tell you who i do feel bad. that poor girl. you're in college and you're so excited you get to go to the white house and be an intern and now she's a viral internet. greg: look at it this way, that's the inter

"watters' world." jesse: politics has dominated the headlines so we wanted to share other news you probably missed. joining me is ed henry. remember the beau bergdahl trade out of gitmo in exchange for bow bergdahl? president obama assured us the taliban five were being closely monitored and would not return to the battlefield. it has been confirmed they all five joined the ranks and returned to afghanistan. ed: i was at some of the news conferences, covering president obama saying this is not a big deal, they are going to be monitored and they weren't going back on the battlefield. no, it turned out to be a bogus deal. the obama administration misled us about beau bergdahl. jesse: next one, we have china. the big trade wash with the chinese. china blinked. president xi promi

anyway, acosta's overwhelming bias, it's not shocking.n fact, he's pretty much telling the company line at fake news cnn. for eight long years, they just worshiped barack obama, they love the clintons. remember, clinton news network? cnn claims to be facts first but in reality, they put their hatred for donald trump before anything else. every second, every minute, every hour, every day, pretty much >> is this president trying to take a look. impersonate hugo chavez? vladimir putin? erdogan? readimir putin? >> what a great case officer of vladimir putin is. he knows how to handle an asset and that's what he's doing with the president. >> when do we see almost a shadow government come out and say we cannot side with the government? >> why was sympathy not shown for white nationalists and other hate groups? >> why is it that one generation calls you [bleep]? >> we can truly say that his words have absolutely emboldened white supremacists. >> hen has given oxygen to racists, has clearly tried to ignite a civil war in this country. >> there i

jim acosta has the right to return to the white house. the underlying accusation of the case is not decided on. if the white house is not only back or settles with cnn, this could go on for months and months. there will be more hearings in the court. number two, the white house now announced that it will come up with rules and regulations for the decorum in white house press conferences. something like an unwritten code and law for journalists about how to behave. we have to see what the decorum -- what that means. sarah: to be continued. thank you. the number of people missing in california's devastating wiwildfires has doubleded to moe than 600. officialals say the dedeath toll stanands at over 60. the flames produced much of the town of paradise to ash and charred rubble. the week after the boys arrested, , recovery workers are seararchinfor humaman remains.s. firefighters c continue to batte otheher blazes acrcross the sta. the fires are among the deadliest to have hit the u.s. in the century. jason is in los angeles. he is the bureau

they have changed their argument to, from violence by jim acosta, to disruption by jim acosta.d that, you know, i think it shows that they realize the violence argument was a total loser and simply not true, but disruption is not necessarily an argument that will lose in front of this judge. >> right. jeff, stay with us because i want to bring in abc news veteran sam donaldson. sam, thanks for being with us. you came up in court today, i know you submitted a declaration in support of cnn. can you explain why you think this case is important, especially given your own experience covering path preside presidents? >> sure, anderson. it was wrong. and it's unprecedented. i don't know of a president who's ever threatened, let alone actually pulled a white house pass from a reporter. sure, presidents don't like uncomfortable questions. would you? would i? why did you say that, why did you say that? you saw the testy exchange the other night. jim wants to know why do you call it a caravan, why do you call it an invasion? are you trying to demonize immigrants if front of the elections?

whether to temporarily restore acosta's access. in that interview with the daily caller today president trump weighed in. "we'll see how the court rules. is it freedom of the press when somebody comes in and starts screaming questions and won't sit down? i really think that when you have guys like acosta, i think they're bad for the country." here's another reminder of the exchange that led the white house to pull acosta's pass. >> mr. president, if i may ask one other question, are you worried -- >> that's enough. >> mr. president -- >> that's enough. >> the other folks -- pardon me, ma'am, i'm -- >> mr. president. >> that's enough. >> mr. president, i had one other question if i may ask on the russia investigation. are you concerned that you may -- >> i'm not concerned about anything with the russia investigation because it's a hoax. >> are you -- >> that's enough. put down the mike. >> mr. president, are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation? >> mr. president -- >> i tell you what, cnn should be ashamed

let jim acosta do his job. what kind of job is he doing? acosta has been carrying out his usual hit job day after day against the president, and he was hired to do something quite different. the white house should suffer such fools in my opinion no more. hostility of the white house press corps is overwhelming briefings and press conferences. the national media often a source of constant insult to civility, the very same civility they urged be returned to our political debates. here's more of the press corps at work. cnn political analyst april ryan, pbs, run-ins with the president of the united states, and apparently they think they have license to insult, to debate and even dismiss the president, not simply report on him in the interest of the public. >> you just have to -- sit down, please, sit down. i didn't call you. i didn't call you. i didn't call you. i'm not responding. excuse me. i'm not responding to you, i'm talking to this gentleman, will you please sit down. reporter: [ inaudible ] excuse me, will

"he lambasted jim acosta as a terrible person, told the urban network correspondent april ryan to sitown, and deemed a query about white nationalism posed by "pbs newshour" reporter as a racist question." all true, except cnn's summary leaves out important context. april ryan repeatedly yelled out her questions without being called on. watch. >> president trump: sit down please i didn't call you. >> she then appeared too intimate to the president had tried to message white supremacists. >> on the campaign trail you called yourself a nationalist, some people thought that was emboldening white nationalist spirit of >> president trump: it's such a racist question. >> the combative exchange jim acosta was over the word invasion, defined by webster's as an unwanted intrusion. >> the caravan is not an invasion, it's a group of migrants moving up from central america toward the border with the u.s. why did you characterize it as such? >> president trump: because i consider it an invasion. >> part of me, ma'am. >> president trump: that's enough. >> cnn stands behind it jim acosta and calls th

he has called outjim acosta ona number of trump. he has called outjim acosta on a number of pcs.ed reporter with the white house but this takes it. further by taking away his press credentials, which the nn is calling unprecedented. on the other side of the fence, of course, from supporters are probably thinking this is exactly what they want him to do. i think that is also true. he has said repeatedly on the campaign trail that the press is the enemy of the people, and there is this term, the people, and there is this term, the fake media, which he has used to characterise organisations like cnn and other mainstream outlets here in the united states. i think there are a lot of people who are his supporters who also buy into that notion, and fortunately even though the reality is far from that. ok, tom hanson from cbs news in new york, thank you. the supermarket chain sainsbury‘s says its latest half—year results have been boosted by its takeover of catalogue retailer argos. profits are up by 20% as the company is also midway through a proposed merger with rival chain asda. that

we aremr very excited to have acosta get his pass back in the white house.i want to thank all of my colleagues in the press who supported us this week and ie want to thank dge for the decision he made, and let's go back to work. jon: today jim acosta was able to.eturn to the white house in this topsy-turvy world, the man who is meant to report the news seemed to be enjoying being the news. while the president, who has a fight,ied away fro bemoaned the lack of decorum in white house news confences. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. rajini: for more on that spat ae as president trump saying he had written answers to robe't mueller'questions, i spoke a brief time ago with north america reporter anthony zurcher. anthony, jon saying acosta 1, trump 0. why did the judge rule in cnn's favor? anthony: he ruled on due process grounds. in other words, he said there waic't sufficient justion to take away acosta's press credentials. basically, that was all there was to it. he did not rule on the first amendment freedom of press grounds, just very narrowly that there were

say that acosta did nothing wrong jim acosta. he really never touched that white house intern that's just a lie and what i saw was a battery not by jim acosta but by that young white house aide if you can use a fake video use a fake video if you go all the way do something like this. guy. but conservatives are rounding in on a cost accusing him of being violent practically shoving a woman who is just trying to do her job it just is it crosses a line you don't put your hands i don't want him a cost sort of wrestling this young white house intern so where is the truth americans will be reminded of the famous dress controversy where depending on how you look at the photograph the dress could be either black and blue or white and gold so now we have visual recording and which americans look at it and see completely different things it seems that as the political crisis is escalating americans literally no longer see things as i do i caleb mop and our t. new york political analyst charles or tell told us he believes jim acosta has act

officials pulled acosta's press pass last week. originally, the press secretary sarah sanders accused acosta of placing his hands on a female white house intern. she has since backed off that accusation. saying he refused to surrender the microphone after asking his questions. by denying jim acosta access to the white house, cnn calls it refusal of free press. the landmark case, bush versus gore, that resulted in bush winning the white house. here's what he says about cnn's lawsuit. >> the first amendment is absolutely necessary. it is the public's window into what public officials are doing. journalists cannot be silenced, censored or intimidated, that's the end of the line. the white house cannot get away with this. >> a judge has scheduled a hearing for tomorrow afternoon. cnn is calling for acosta's press credentials to be restored immediately. so as you can see, we have a lot to talk about tonight. have we ever seen a first lady call for the firing of a top national security official? publicly calling for it. hi. i'm paul. i s

in so doing misstates facts of jim acosta incident, and misreading law while ignoring acosta's outrageous behavior and conduct at a president at press conference, we take it up with greg jared, gina lou laden. death toll rising in california as wildfires continue to char thousands of acres of land, building homes, building and leaves nothing but rubble and ashes in some places. search crews look for more than 200 missing people, blame for fire pinned on major utility. our correspondent with report from paradise, california. reporter: we need time and patience, and persevere an paradise will rebuild, a promise from the mayor. >> i have seen these on tv before, and it will be one neighborhood. but in our town it is the whole town, 90% of the residentses, there is nothing. >> this is heartbreaking to drive through paradise and see the level of destruction. reporter: 6500 homes, including that the mayor and fire chief. >> my family lost their home, my parent, my grandmother. reporter: coroner teams are expanding search and recovery effort adding 150 more people and setting up military type-mo

that he was angry and decided to take his anger out on acosta. but the fact that we don't even know how it happened last week shows that acosta's due process rights, his fifth amendment rights, were violated. so that is why judge this morning issued the temporary restraining order, gave the pass back to jim acosta. and, wolf, frankly, this is a day like we've never seen in white house press corps history. >> good point. today the president reacted by saying that white house officials will just leave if they don't want to answer questions from reporters. what's the white house plan going forward? >> that's right. we don't know exactly what the white house plans to do next. there is another hearing scheduled next week that the lawyers will be back in the court talking about next steps, talking about possible hearings in the future. it does seem to me the white house may be seeking a resolution to this case, though, maybe will try to settle out of court. here's what president trump said going forward. >> if they don't listen to the rules and regulat

this is not about jim acosta. this is about the white house trying to control news coverage by blacklisting certain reporters. ultimately, it's about freedom the press. the question now is whose credentials could be revoked next? >> as far as i'm concerned, i haven't made that decision. but it could be others also. >> so, look, cnn's in the thick of this story and trump's insulting acosta, insutting alty phillips on friday and others, they're on record saying trump's attacks against the media are disturbingly unamerican. that's the official word from cnn. but i want to try to approach this as dispassionately as we can. right now it's about cnn but nbc or "the new york times" or other outlets could be next. so i want to ask if there's a legal case here, could cnn end up suing in order to get acosta's press pass reinstated? will the white house take away other press passes? >> and what's going to happen next here? there's a lot to talk about. but let me start with the run, the only, sam dondalsaldson. you know him s

acosta goes back to work. it puts cnn in a much more favorable legal position as this case goes on, if it's going to go on. >> jeff, what are we hearing, if anything from the white house? any reaction yet? >> reporter: the white house hasn't put out a statement just yet. we understand that one is coming, however. but to pete's point, we know how round one of this case has gone, round two, of course, is to this larger issue as to the constitutionality of the revocation of jim acosta's press pass. that has all sorts of implications about whether this white house or any other white house can retaliate against reporters they might not happen to like. we know the white house has made the argument that it does reserve the right to limit access to any reporter. now, after cnn brought this case and just today we've heard kellyanne conway and sarah sanders reiterate this point that cnn has 50 hard pass holders. hard pass are what we use to access the white house cam pus every day. the white house is making the point th

jim acosta. being a jerk and not acting professional and i would hope that in those hears would tell him to act professional instead of going in and not through questions which the president will answer he goes then in plain states that's not the fact that it's not even that's true that's not the reporting and so this whole notion if you were about a press of his speech you point and only his point that would be a whiny issue but that's not the case he had and professionally who will argue that there is to be a just that are just it's not who is the arbiter who's the arbiter of jerky behavior is that donald trump donald trump gets to tell me who acts like a jerk on camera is that that's really where we are i think you behavior he let him ask you questions and it was somebody else's turn absolute and ask your question to michael he said no more questions so agree with what you say he will meet jim acosta's does not get out more questions than everybody else because he decides that he gets so if yo

that's why he calls on jim acosta.wants that blowup because he knows attacking the press is going to energize his base. >> yeah. you said that. i didn't. i just want people to know that. so, listen, i want to switch gears, now. susan, i want to ask you about this. this is what a senior administration official told our jake tapper about sending u.s. troops to the border, okay? he says, it's a paper tiger, a total joke of limited operation utility and a waste of our troops' time. mattis knows it. nielsen knows it. kelly knows it. but the battle was lost with the president. he was hellbent on troops. >> that's one of those things people are joking if you get somebody to say it on background, it's a big scoop, but actually it's already been said publicly. i don't think there's anyone, right, left, or center, who hasn't seen pretty transparently through this decision to send almost 6,000 u.s. troops to the border for an operation that nobody knows what it is. now, by the way, it looks like just tonight, donald trump has fin

reporter jim acosta asked the president about the migrant caravan headed north and things really heated up i'd like to play this video and then get your reaction there after that it is there we go well if you want as president that this caravan was an invasion as you know i despise your sitter to be that as you know this president karen was not an invasion it's a it's a group of migrants moving up from central america towards the border with the u.s. thank you for to know what why did you why did you characterize it as such. i consider it an invasion you and i have a difference of opinion do you think that you demonized immigrants now there's a lecture known as or i want them i want them to come into the country but they have to come in legally you know they have to come in jim through a process i wanted to be a process and i want people to come in and we need the people here who can paint your campaign wait you know why we need the people because we have hundreds of companies moving in we need people there are hundreds of miles away that there are hundreds and hundreds of model a way t
