because the factual allegations are detail and nonconclusion their, the court must accept them as true for this purposes and take all of the reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff. and the concrete injury, and the interception of the communications is all we have to do to establish standing at this stage of the game. i want to emphasize one important thing, and the important aspect of the upstream surveillance, because it is different in this case and new no the program. the government is not simply looking for the communications to and from a target. instead, it is searching the full content of communications in order to determine whether they mention the government target, and that is important, because it means that the government is systematically examining the e-mail and web browsing of essentially everyone in the first instance -- >> and target for example a telephone number? >> yes, looking for a telephone number or the e-mail address, and that is not the limits of what the government calls selectors, but those are examples of them. and so it is looking through the full

that is factually not true. all we're saying is -- >> we're talking about the same topic in a week where the president is talking about replacing obama care. it has helped millions of people lose their health plans. he's going to meet with foreign leaders. we're still talking about crowd size. i'm a pollster by trade. i'm into things that are quantifiable. here are the numbers that matter. the numbers are the 2600 counties he won. the 31 of 50 states. and by the way, the other numbers that matter that i didn't hear from the women marching around washington yesterday are the 16.1 million women in poverty. the millions of people who don't have health care after eight years of president obama. donald trump has been president the for about eight hours. president obama has been here for eight years. if you want to talk about numbers that matter. it's quantifying. the women that have slid into poverty. their children who deserve a better life. i want to talk about things that are quantifiable. not metro riders and cro

i don't care who's -- you can play to a constituency and be factual.ou can take liberties with those facts. he was intentionally or unintentionally -- it's inexcusable -- not factual. there was no -- there's no -- i don't care who the political audience is. he's in a city. he's talking. everybody pays attention to what the president of the united states says and interprets it -- you in the media. he was factually inaccurate, and that probably wasn't even intentional, but it's problematic. and it's a simple issue, but it's problematic when the president of the united states decides not to be factual and we got to go back and parse his words and his press secretary has to make up for it and redefine it, the vice president of the united states has to redefine, legislators have to redefine what he means. >> and it's emblematic of what is going to be an ongoing problem with his presidency. i mean, the fact that he -- the fact -- just even saying that expression -- the fact that he has not really an affection for facts. >> yeah. >> the fact that he -- you kn

. >> because you can point to those as being factual as opposed to what he said about

which is a factual basis. not a religious basis. perfectly legal, perfectly sensible, and that's what the ban is based on. it's not based on religion. it's based on places where there are substantial evidence that people are sending terrorists into our country.

i fear is coming to news i don't like or i don't want to believe regardless of whether it had any factual bases. we used to have one and we don't have one now, you know, all we can do is put it out there. >> charlie and your hopes and dreams for the next nine days until the time when donald trump puts his hands on a bible and takes the oath? >> well, i was struck by eugene by what president obama said to get the need out of the bubble and find the common language. it is there and between now and inauguration, look, i hope that the trump folks understand at some point and how many times we have said this that this president has to realize that he's going to be the president. there is new polls out suggesting that his ratings are back to where he was. he's got real trust problems and credibility problem. at some point, you will hope that donald trump will step up and understand the magestmagesty the role. >> we'll hear him say those words at his first news conference since july. thank you to two of our friends and two pros for being with us tonight. gene robertson and -- coming up next as "

it's raw intelligence files of a sort that could be rumor, that could be factual in some parts, that could be right, wrong, but it needs to be run down. there's another component to this, and that is donald trump's lack of transparency and conflicts of interest particularly about his dealings in the part of the world where russia is through that part of the world not necessarily all in moscow but through eastern europe and russia. we had a big show yesterday of all these envelopes and all this. >> is there anything in those. >> i have no idea. but it is extraordinary to have a president of the united states coming into office without us having an understanding of what his basic holdings are around the world. he needs to divest himself. it's the only proper thing to do. look, he wants to be president of the united states. be president of the united states. and let go of your business. cash out. >> yeah. >> because otherwise, we are in

. >> will you pledge never to knowingly say something that is not factual? >>> plus, meet the resistance. millions of women marching across the nation. with celebrities like madonna and ashley judd. >> we are here to be nasty! >> leading the charge. we'll hear from those with the most at stake. immigrants dreaming of staying in america. >> this is don't get deported. >> could their hopes be dashed with the stroke of a pen? and the president's response to the anger at his doorstep. this special edition of "nightline," "inside 30, the first daze," will be right back. z290ez zi0z y290ey yi0y "nightline," "inside 30, the first days." >> good president trump getting straight to work on his first monday on the job signing orders overturning some of president obama's economic agenda and meeting with top business leaders. this after a tumultuous weekend of protest and a press conference. trump in true trump action with decisive action in the face of controversy. here's my "nightline" coanchor juju chang. >> it's going to be only america first. >> we will not go away

so what is the factual basis for this. 85% of the fbi indicted crimes that occurred involving terrorisminvolving u.s. born citizens, and the rest of them had no -- they did not emanate from those seven banned countries and so i think fred would say today what is the factual basis for that. in it's not based on fact, if it's based on discrimination of people of certain national origins or religions, that's a problem and punches a huge noel our constitution, and makes americans less safe, not more safe. >> how far would you say the company as a hole has come from fred korematsu's days, today's attitude. >> the fact that ktvu is interested in this story, as with all national media, is really a strong interest is and effort to preserve our constitutional freedoms, and instead of just accepting as true, like they did in 1944, facts that were false, the country is now questioning them as we all have a try it do. so i think it's a good thing. as they say, martin luther king said, in the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice. and the people out there in the airports an

of the media make all the time, they misreport something, they don't report something, they get a factuall try to do our best job and do it with a degree of integrity in our respective industries. shaun spicer there. joining us now is susan page, a former president of the white house correspondence and is now paul simpson chief for usa today. put this in some kind of historic perspective for us. you have covered campaigns, have you ever seen anything like this in terms of the relationship with the press ? terms of the relationship with the press? this is my sixth presidents i have seen them come and go and all of them at some point or another have tough relationships with the press. especially when they get in trouble, you think about the impeachment of president clinton for instance. 0rduring impeachment of president clinton for instance. 0r during the war accusations of the misuse of intelligence information, the bad intelligence information, the bad intelligence that got us into the war in iraq said there were times when the white house has had bad relations which covers them everyday.

it won't even have the factual errors in it.rated by so-called private intelligence agents, who are out to make a buck. they will sell it to anybody. what is it doing in our political discourse westmark why did cnn put it on the air? why is the cia and the fbi even touching this stuff? i've been studying russia as a professor, i've never seen anything like this. people in the mainstream media, authoritative media, a place like "the new york times" are calling trump -- before he even gets in the white house. so i ask you, you live in d.c. what is going on? >> tucker: it is not clear to me. it comes at you so quickly, it's so nice of tarik. you are not in expert on russia. it doesn't look real but then who knows. as someone who has studied this for four years, this does not have the ring of truth to you. as a much larger effort to disable trump before he becomes resident. >> instead of trump and pentz , it got picked up with this free intelligence agency report is published last week. it is absolutely empty. even "the new york tim

>> i would want to see the factual basis behind the statistics and the factual connection as to who is committing those acts. >> we don't -- a lot of times the factual evidence is reporting by objective observers on the ground. i'm not initially sure you're going to get a videotape of an extra judicial killing. oftentimes the evidence is the objective reporting we get from source he on the ground inside a place like the philippines. >> i will rely on multiple sources to confirm what i am being told. blame it on me being an engineer. it's just the engineer in me that i deal with facts and i analyze and conclude. i'm sure there's a lot of credible information out there that i simply haven't seen. >> this is a question that often gets asked of members of congress to judge their view of politics and conflict in the middle east. it's a pretty simple one. do you believe that the iraq war, not the conduct of the war, but the war itself was a mistake? >> i think i indicated in response, i believe it was to senator paul's question, that i think our motives were commendable, but we did not achie

the media and shown, et cetera, and sean spicer said five things about the crowd side that were not factual. there was reporting that the president wanted him to come out here and say this, and you were a communications director for ted cruz, if you were ever asked to say something that you believe was not factual, what do you do? >> you stress the importance of being correct with the media, and i can say none of my bosses i ever worked for said here's information that is not true, and -- >> what if ted cruz asked you to say -- here's the photos again. >> it's not a battle i would think, and it's clearly something the administration wants to flush out from the media, and this is a series of what they view as factual inaccuracies and misrepresentation by the press and this is something that they want to nip in the bud, and this is an important issue for them and many don't agree, and this is, and they are trying to put a flag in the ground and holding the press accountable. >> robert, is this administration fighting what voters would deem an important fight here? >> i can't see it. the two w

that is factually true. >> they are not providing any abortion funding.nd there is simply no alternative for so many women in this country in rural health centers across this country. and if the republicans go this far and actually -- >> an argument that prop gates genocide on unborn babies in this country. >> we will find a backlash beyond control. >> when we come back, 15 days to go until donald trump takes the oath of office but as a trump team plans a celebration others are planning protests. >>> for opponents of president-elect donald trump, is inauguration day the time to hit the streets and protest or to lay low as the nation celebrates a peaceful transfer of power? let's discuss now. cnn political commentator kevin madden, republican strategyist, is here. and also cnn political commentator charles blow, a "new york times" columnist. thank you for joining us. charles blow, you wrote a column today. it's called "the anti-inauguration." and in it you write this about donald trump. "now is the time to begin making plans to send him the strongest possi

. >> except, alice, that's just not factual.e attack was born in illinois to pakistani parents and malik was born in pakistan, moved to saudi arabia and came to the u.s. so that's not a comparison. that's not factual to say, look at what happened in san bernardino. >> my point is that certainly our hearts go out to everyone that's a syrian refugee and needs to come here but we can't just look at women and children as across the board innocent in this because some have played a role, specifically women, in some of these acts. so i think it's important to have a firm line in the sand and that's exactly what's happening here. >> we're going to take a quick break. we'll be back with my panel in just a moment. asmy family tree,ing i discovered a woman named marianne gaspard... it was her french name. then she came to louisiana as a slave. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. the ancestry dna results were really specific. they told me all of these place

and he seemed to cast government misinformation as the same as reporters making any factual mistakes. he also pressed the argument that the media audience for the inauguration was the largest. an apparent effort to thread the needle on that crowd size issue. now that was the message. what about the substance today? the white house to be clear is considering major reforms on obamacare, on trade, on russia, or immigration, border security, and now taking action through executive power. donald trump, you see there, signing orders today to scuttle the tpp trade agreement, reenstate a ban on federal funding for organizations abroad that facilitate abortions and freezing all federal hiring except within the military. president trump today also outlining an aggressive economic agenda during a meeting with ceos. here's trump. >> we are going to be cutting taxes massively. we think we c cut regulations by 75%. maybe more. a company that wants to fire all of it's people in the united states and build some factory someplace else and then thinks that that product is just going to glow yoosz the b

let me ask you a factual question. during the course of this boisterous political campaign, did you ever chant "lock her up"? >> no, i did not. i don't think. i heard it in rallies and so forth. sometimes i think humorously done, but it was a matter that i have said a few things, a special prosecutor, i favored that. i think that probably is one of the reasons i believe that i should not make any decision about any such case. >> and you understand that the good guy law man in the movies is the one who sits on the jailhouse porch and doesn't let the mob in? >> exactly. exactly. >> so i'm from rhode island, as you know, senator. we have neacp and aclu members who have heard that you called their organizations un-american. we have a vibrant dominican community who look at big papi, david ortiz swinging his bat for the red sox and wonder why you said "almost no one coming from the dominican republic to the united states is coming here because they have a provable skill that would benefit us." i represent a lot of latinos w

does the president believe it is important for his press secretary to be factual from the podium and to take questions? >> yes, he does. it's irresponsible for members of the media to be calling our press secretary a liar and worse. that is not the way to start relationships with the press. i believe in a free and open press. people have to cover the presidency. respect the office and its current occupant. we need to it be a two-way street. we have not been treated very well. this man is the president of the united states. if people would just go back, george, and listen to and watch his inaugural address again, that goes for everybod talking about giving power back to the people. i know he's coming to washington. seen in a way no one ever has. the institutions and leather l lethar lethargy. people are wondering what will happen there. we need to have a two-way street with the press. i look forward to that. i appreciate the platform on your network and others and look forward to an open and honest relationship. we can't invite the press pool on the first day and a big lie told about

let me ask you a factual question. during the course of this boisterous political campaign, did you ever chant "lock her up?" >> no, i did not. i don't think. i heard it in rallies and so forth. sometimes i think humorously done. it was a manner that i have said a few things, a special prosecutor. i favored that. i think that probably is one of the reasons i believe that i should not make any decision about any such case. >> you understand that the good guy, law man, doesn't let the mob in the courthouse. >> i'm from rhode island. we have naacp and aclu who have heard that you called their organizations unamerican. we have a vibrant dominican community who look at big poppy, david ortiz, swinging his bat for the red sox and wonder why you said "almost no one coming from the dominican republic to the united states is coming here because they have a provable skill that would benefit us." i represent a lot of latinos who worry about modern day palma raids, breaking up parents from their kids and muslims who worry about so

i think the president elect has a right to correct the record and make sure that factual inaccurate chris is actually called. >> and you actually have that right. >> something every day, may not be televised, maybe off xara gaggle or meeting, what's the argument about televising every briefing? >> what i'm doing is the same thing that the president elect has challenged everyone that he has asked to serve in his administration to look in, press briefing or getting information out or whether it's reforming the va. >> right. on the question of the cameras -- >> right. sometimes once the cameras goes on it becomes a show than informational session where news is discontinued and back and forth with the press core. it wasn't until, you know, it hasn't been that long since that's been the case and i think there are other institutions that have done that, again, maybe we don't change anything. maybe we add a gaggle to the -- to the daily press conference, maybe we just invite more of the american people into this conversation, which i think the president elect is very keen on because this is a co

. >> will never pledge to knowingly say something that is not factual. >> we can disagree with the facts. our intention is never to lie to you. >> do you stand that was most washed inago raul. >> sure. i don't see numbers that dispute that. >> i don't want to get into numbers. >> i do. we have a right to go out there and correct the record. thank you. it's been a pleasure. see you tomorrow. >> nick kristof. nice to see you. >> today did the reporters get information and did the press secretary supply it? >> the tone was better. sean spicer tried hard to come across as genial. but while the tone was better and he was forthcoming. at end of the day he said it was unquestionable that the audience at the inauguration was getter than it was before. that is wrong. you can add the tv numbers, the wash post counts he comes in fifth. when you speak from the white house podium says things that are unquestionable, is wrong. >> i was thinking about you watching this, you have covered drops and refugee camps you can seen people eat bugs and leaves, we have seen wars. we are back here bickering about

it's just counter factual. but start with that. who is the opposition party in the one week of this presidency so far? the truth is the opposition party so far. >> the truth. >> the truth is because we have seen so many lies and conspiracy theories, unnatalie falsehoods repeated by the president of the united states, by his ministers of propaganda, by kelyanne conway, by the press secretary. this is not a place where anybody who i know in the media wants to see this go in the first days of this presidency. >> why do you think -- why do they want to do this? why do they want to star a war with the media? >> i'm not going to get into their heads. look, president trump has an agenda of programs and policies. fight for them. fight for them on a factual basis on what you believe, but so far that is not what we're seeing. and to make the conduct of the press the issue in this culture is, i believe, a grave mistake because people want the truth, including trump supporters. they want the truth. >> they deserve the truth. >> they want their

>> are factual allegations they were told this to the threat the man posts of the institution. and also important is what the oig has explained about the meaning of the interests designation. being being determined by the fbi to be of interest mentally they were not not of interest. the oig quotes the security unit who explains that if the fbi cannot state whether or not it had an interest in the individual that individual was held of interest to the 911 it. so even if there is word being sent out that these men are of interest to the investigation, we have to be careful with them, what the petitioners received was designation which meant very little based on policy being applied. and then they received the detailed information that they were encountered by the fbi in context and had violated the immigration law and they might be interested in him. this this is the actual information that was provided that we have made available in the complaint. >> the fbi goes into a rooming house on there is nuclear weapon on the floor. they find it. and they might be another, would they be

it is actually a very interesting question. 0ur market is just hard factual machines or a day in emotionalainly they are emotional. a lot of expectation and hope and optimism for growth has been built into market evaluation and investors expecting trump to deliver growth, tax cuts which should be good but now, since the inauguration, there has been a bit ofa inauguration, there has been a bit of a change in inauguration, there has been a bit ofa change in pain inauguration, there has been a bit of a change in pain and sentiment. there are to ways of looking at trump, one is the positive growth story and the other is the more destabilising trump against free trade and the trump saying as the only things that about other countries around the world and markets swing pendulum a wise and they have swung. to be fair, when your market goes up 9.5% since he w011 your market goes up 9.5% since he won the election, in november, and goes above 20,000, you are going to ta ke goes above 20,000, you are going to take some profits... there is an element of that. markets can swing too far in both directio

so factuality and acknowledgment . the things that you can think of some sort of degradation of language which are really very sophisticated. for example, you might think that to pin add -- adjective. imagine a person looking out of the window and they see a squirrel, hey, i see a squirrel, more specific meaning, hey, that squirrel is gray rather than a black squirrel that i expect. so what you mean is the squirrel is gray. it means it was longer than you want expect anything to be. that's what it means. listen to the way people use that because they to all of the time. it's never profanity, it it's counterexpectational. i want to understand that i'm talking about language as we know it. lol, much ink has been spilled over laugh out loud being used in context -- texting. any number of accounts that lol, quote, unquote, doesn't mean anything. that's because one of the word, you can see the actual text exchange. i like you, i'm pretty sure everyone figures that out before you, lol. what does it mean. i don't know, just a

the other point about shawn spicer is not just factual or journalistic, it's illegal and criminal. he is not just brp's spokesman. he is the spokesman of the united states, of the white house. and he is speaking of an allegation of wide president is crimes to pack the outcome of a election, a widespread multiple person criminal conspiracy. yet as several reporters rightly pressed him he couldn't explain why if there were millions of crimes why around they being investigated. this is the difference between running a campaign which has elements of exaggeration or pop began de and running a got. shawn spicer -- you asked me about the voter fraud claim. i think what he just did was made a bad problem much worse. he is creating flicks for the justice department and the other factual and criminal investigative parts of the federal government which are not answerable to the president's personal grievances but are answerable to the laws equally enforced for all americans. this was a problematic press conference. >> peter alexander is outside of the white house right now. peter, shawn spice

putting out a tweet about factual information, how is that spinning?hy shouldn't the american people know that information. why not care about it? if not, why not inform them about it? >> i think we should. jumping from crowd size. >> you jumped to crowd size. i said nothing about it. >> i think andre's point is valid when it comes to day two. >> he can defend himself. hold on. >> i wasn't trying to defend -- >> andre was speaking. go ahead. >> i don't mind carbon emissions. i don't know who called them out. might not have been -- don't know how high that went. maybe the numbers were wrong. maybe that's why pulled it down. i don't have any information to know why it was pulled. may have been a viable reason. may not have been to fr the topup, don't want the message out there. >> i appreciate you answering the question. we'll be right back. oh, it's our verizon bill look at them. line access fee, administrative fees, there are even taxes on top of them. decent people shouldn't have to live like this did i get it? t-mobile ends surprise fees and taxes th

as a factual matter there is not a plan yet. you could be preferring to plans in the past some republicans advanced to replace obamacare. the incoming secretary of health and human services has suggested plans to replace the affordable care act but that is not what the republicans are going to move with this time. that is not the plan donald trump would support given what he said. we don't know what they'll replacement plan is. at this point there have been efforts to repeal it without figuring out what replaces it. i don't think they can avoid that discussion forever. it's a point there will be words on the page and we look forward to evaluating it. host: let's hear from jason in new york city. democrats line. caller: i have a comment. like the lady who just called on the republican line. republicans are really fools. they've done something that's unbelievable, elected donald trump. he has no clue what's going on. my question about the marijuana , with all the states in this, can they actually reverse it? this all boils down to

always tell the truth from that podium and will you pledge to never knowingly say something that isn't factualonour to do this and yes i believe we have to be honest with the american people, sometimes we can disagree with the facts. the president a short time ago met union leaders and looked behind him, it seems like mr spicer, after a heap of criticism at the weekend, was getting a vote of confidence from the counsellor to the president. it's going to be a rollercoaster ride. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. theresa may has again refused to say whether or not an unarmed trident missile veered off course during a test last year. the defence secretary sir michael fallon told mps that the system was ‘successfully tested' lastjune but he would not provide any other details for reasons of national security. labour mps have accused ministers of a cover up and say the prime minister should clarify how much she knew when she urged mps to renew the system in a vote last year. our political editor laura kuenssberg has the latest. set condition iso for weapons system readiness test. pressing the nuclea

. >> just a factual point. he didn't stop raising those questions -- didn't stop raising those questions until late in this campaign. not two years. >> but look, george. that's not the point. the point is not where barack obama was born. the point is is that we've got congressmen on the democratic side of the aisle questioning the legitimacy of president-elect trump who won in an electoral landslide. that's the issue. that's where the outrage should be. not old news. the fact that we're preparing for the transfer of power. we've been working with president obama, hand in glove, and i think that they -- including the president -- should step up and get his people in line and tell them to grow up and accept the fact that they lost the election. >> let's move on to the issue of russia. the president-elect in "the wall street journal" saying yesterday he would consider lifting the sanctions on russia in the future depending on how they deal with the threat against isis. that seems to be at odds with what his nomine

now factual alley explains the literacy problem. there are many people who are upset that thoroughly is being misused because it's supposed to mean by the letter exactly so people seem to me music using it in figurative constructions. people say i'm literally dying of thirst. and that's just wrong because it means that you are using something to mean it's opposite. so there's actual and then figuratively.that really gets a people's nose but it doesn't have to, believe me. this is why. literally starts out meaning by the letter. now, that's what it meant at a certain point. everybody who thought of it as meaning only that is now very day. and they died not knowing something that you guys and women can although which is that literally was never going to stay meaning by the letter. no word ever stays still. the only question is what was going to come to mean? the one thing words tend to do when they have a meeting of intensifying is they become less intense. put bets on it that a word that went meant by the letter was going to start me

their only job is to make a scientific factual determination. the standards are different. the government agency does a risk assessment. instead of deciding whether it is or is not they decide at what level is there a risk for cancer. so they say one and 1 million. f1 in 1 million people get cancer it's an acceptable risk and if it's less than that they are saying there is no risk. what the health organization does they say weather or not something is or is a carcinogen at any level. >> thank you for being here. it's a tentative ruling and we will wait to see what happens but for more information had to our website and over to you. >>> new this morning serena williams just made history at the australian open. hours ago she beat venus to claim her 23rd major singles title and break the record she held by steffi graf. this was the ninth time the sisters met. it mean serena has reclaimed the number one world ranking and out to our sports roundup. >> good morning, everybody. what a match what a show. venus and serena williams will expound upon that in the later shows today but

this interview had so many factual mistakes. obvbvious that trump really doesn't know what he is talking about that, i think is a problem, for president. >> that is not new. ulrike: that is true. other presidents gave the impression they want to learn. trump is the opposite. he claims to know everything. how to change the world. how to be the most wonderful to be -- b claims to be the most wonderful businessman. but he doesn't give the impression he wants to learn. melinda: many europeans who read this interview were alarmed. where you? not necessarily because he repeated what he had said prior in the election campaign. nato is obsolete, this is not the first time he has said that. what i found interesting, it was the first significant interview he has given and that was to european newspapers. i read out t of that, he cares r europe. europe is important to him. havewise, he would not given this interview. saying, look, europeans, i have to tell you something t. felt hihismany people atattitude toward europe sounded pretty indif

i think you are factually wrong on that point. i am merely saying that this is not a product of british intelligence, it is a product of a private company in london. the hillary emails, not a single one was proven wrong. not one. lots of news organizations passed on it. but when this is proved totally false, one person is saying this is true. no one is standing up to say it's true, including the man who reportedly wrote it. would you publish this yourself, if you were running a news organization? >> yes. >> tucker: then you have low standards. i'm sorry. it's not a defense in trump, i wouldn't do it to obama. or hillary. >> this is a document that made up a briefing by all the senior intelligence agencies in the united states for the president of the united states. this is an important document that has been circulating to the highest level of u.s. government. >> tucker: you are throwing words around that you don't understand. this came across john mccain's desk and he passed it by his own admission to the director of the fbi who

. >> will you pledge never to knowingly say something that is not factual?ng the charge. we'll hear from those with the most at stake. immigrants dreaming of staying in america. >> this is my last semester if i don'deported. >> could their hopes be with the stroke of a pen? and the president's response to the anger at his doorstep. this special edition of "nightline," "inside 30 the first daze," will be right back. >>> this is a special edition of "nightline," "inside 30, the first days." >> good evening. thank you for joining us. president trump getting straight to work on his first monday on orders overturning some of president obama's economic agenda and meeting with top business leaders. this after a tumultuous weekend of protest and a press conference. trump in true trump action with decisive action in the face of controversy. here's my "nightline" coanchor juju chang. >> it's going to be only america first. >> we will not go away! >> dangerous and destructive on day one for the press to be reporting false information like that. >> reporter: from the pu

this country there is the factual history of the country, slavery and segregation. and when you add poverty to that, all the problems seem to multiply. when it seems your government is against you, that deepens the misery, be it with the criminal justice system or the segregated school system. the battle is larger if you are poor and black in the inner city, as opposed to a poor white in a west virginia hallow. jessica: speaking of that, you went to appalachia when you were a reporter for "the globe." talk about wha there and what was different fr stereotypical feelings about the other race, the other race of people. even if a lot of poor whites haven't spent time around a lot of poor blacks, they had these preconceived notions that poor blacks were taking advantage of the system. jessica: you say the white working class poor people have have been credited with giving donald trump his victory, but he exploited them. what did you mean by that? wil haygood: we have had examples of this in history. politicians have pitted one socioeconomic other. you can point to that

every national security council meeting begins with a factual predicate of an intelligence picture. if we throw that out the window, we are destined to make very poor policy. finally, i do think that there is also something very important in the president's worldview. during his inaugural address, he talked about america first. fundamentally the intelligence officers i know our globalist in their outlook. they actually believe that america's security depends on our interdependence with other countries. much of the work that our intelligence professionals do is working with other countries to keep us safe. these are people, many of whom live overseas, they like serving overseas. they are more like state department professionals than almost anyone else in our government. they raise their children overseas and they believe and know and understand that you have to be involved in the world. if we just pull up the drawbridge and retreat and have a nativist, nationalist approach to our security, it won't work. for all those reasons, i think we are potentially and for more stormy weather ah

information is conveyed -- >> and that factual information will be dictated by science, i would hope. >> without a doubt. >> okay, so let me ask you about medicaid specifically. let me just say i'm a little taken aback about your answer on the question of immigrants and leprosy, i think the science is pretty well dictated on that regard as well. one of the most beneficial components of the affordable care act was the expansion of the medicaid program that resulted in 11 million people nationwide and over half a million in new jersey gaining coverage, many for the first time. it's one of the biggest programs on the republican chopping block. with proposals to not only repeal the affordable care medicaid expansion, but going further and gutting billions in federal funding to the states. there is no doubt that this would result in catastrophic loss of coverage for tens of millions of low-income families and lead to tens of billions in losses to safety net and other health care providers. do you recognize medicaid to be a valuable program and consider the coverage it provides 74 million

counterintelligence officers who will be interviewing him. >> that is also -- there is sort of a factual matter here, did he make the calls, how many calls were there. this is from cnn's report. they said the calls were captured by routine u.s. eaves dropping targeting the russian diplomats according to intelligence and law enforcement officials. that's pleural. i should say three outlets have the story and they have multiple sources. here is my question. it strikes me, substance aside, a brazen kind of leak from these officials blazecally saying, we are monitoring your phone calls to the man who is now the national security adviser to the united states. >> well, general flynn would know from all of his great experience as director of defense intelligence and as an officer coming up in the military ranks, there is something called own-force monitoring where government systems and people who are related to high levels of government, for security purposes they do monitor phone communications, you know, particularly for counterintelligence purposes, to make sure someone is not an agent of a

these pop lulists set out compl issues and it's anti-factual and anti-science. now, this is all uniquely challenging to cover as a reporter, isn't it? >> it really is. and i think for two main reasons. firstly, there's a deep an tip pa three at mainstream media and a lot of people view us as part of the problem and that makes it very difficult when you go to someone in good faith to have a conversation and you find hostility being directed to you. that then makes you defensive. i mean on twitter now, i can't even tell you the barrage of abuse i get every time i appear on television. so that's part of the problem. the second part of the problem is, especially for someone like me, i've devoted the last 14 years of my life, brian, to traveling the world, to trying to understand geopolitical issues, to trying to understand islam and terrorism and sometimes i find myself, you know, trying to engage with narratives that simply don't seem to be based in fact. they are in a much more gutteral and emotional response to larger forces. it's difficult to come back and say,

. >> i think fred would say what is the factual basis and if it is not based upon fact but based on discrimination against people of certain national origin or certain religion, that's a problem. it punches a hole in the constitution and makes americans less safe and not more safe. >> coramonte's conviction was overturned in 1983 when it came to light that f.b.i. knew that there was no evidence that japanese people in the u.s. were helping the enemy. coramonte died in 2005. california enacted this day honoring him in 2010. >>> in a south bay, a handyman facing murder charges for the killing of prominent member of tommy shwe found dead in a shallow grave. we learn about the trail of evidence that led investigators to a suspect and it turns out that suspect worked as a handyman for tommy shwe. >> authorities believe that this man christopher ellebracht strangled his employer and left behind the evidence. it began jan 18th when tommy shwe was reported missing by his family. >> it is in comprehensible how something could happen to my father. >> a former school board member never made it home from the
