jim acosta. thanks very much. flew back with the president on air force one. >>> coming up, who won? it depends on who you ask and in north korea there is no doubt who is the biggest winner after this week's summit. liberty mutual saved us almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what? yeah, they saved us a ton, which gave us a little wiggle room in our budget. i wish our insurance did that. then we could get a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey, welcome back. this guy, right?

trish: that was cnn's white house correspondent jim acosta being heckled at a trump rally in south carolina last night. you heard the crowd chanting "go home jim." not right. not right. they may disagree with some of a costa's report but you know jim acosta is jus doing this job. he's out there reporting on the rally and not only is it bad manners, it's bad form to attack him. i say this because i'm very concerned about the state in which we now live, where there's a complete total lack of civility and i'd say it goes for both sides right now. i mean you have white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders just trying to enjoy a meal out at a restaurant and she was asked to leave because she works for the president. and it didn't stop there. here is governor huckabee telling me what happened. >> after sarah and her husband left and the family relocated to a restaurant across the street, the owner of the red hen then organized an effort to go and scream at them from the sidewalk at the other restaurant. it wasn't just what happened in the little red hen restaurant. it's what happened ongo

jim acosta is morally offended by this because she is a celebrity. did he forget about obama's term when all the celebrities came through the white house? emily: ways abnormal is to have the cnn chief white house correspondent say who should be there. howie: she is using her celebrity to push an issue. richard: i give her credit for helping to free a grandmother. i applaud her for it and hopefully president trump if he's in the pardoning mood will pardon this grandmother. howie: this title is very pro kardashian. this other story is more serious. melania trump has been recovering from surgery. she has not been seen in public for three weeks. a headline, white house silence on me than yeah stokes conspiracy theories. why mention conspiracy theories? emily: this is a legitimate back and forth. there were serious unanswered questions. her stay in the hospital which woulds more than normal for the procedure. i don't think it's fair for the spulation to getsrazy as it's gotten. howie: the first lady had to tweet. media working overtime speculating where i

i didn't like it last night when trump hecklers went after cnn's jim acosta and certainly don't like it when sarah sanders and secretary nielsen are driven from restaurants. i think it is ridiculous for democrats to say that the root cause of this is donald trump, when trump wasn't in office when gabby giffords got shot in the face and bull's-eyes put on sarah palin. public shaming and violence has no place in public discourse, this is not the first time maxine waters has done this. she's been doing this since the early 190s, the l.a. riots. >> our president has used shaming in public. he tweeted today by calling crooked hillary. secretary clinton is how she should be referred, we are no longer campaigning. >> if trump does it then maxine waters can do it too? >> i wasn't finished. there is a climate here with the president who shames people in public on twitter every single day. maxine waters should not have stooped to his level, and i think that many parts of this, my party, are saying it's not okay. she's going to take it to trump and this is the way she's done it. trish: trying t

they are making the story about jim acosta.are making the story about april ryan. >> we saw a preview of that when they said acosta's credentials should be revoked. >> the campaign did this in 2016. they revoked my press credentials. they revoked my publication's press credentials, for various publicatio. that did not result in no covege, of course. we still covered the campaign fairly and critically. it made things more difficult logistically. i think he would saw with the north korean summit in particular the importance of the press being given access to these type of things. the photos that came out from the media were not the same coming out from the government. i would say to the point about the press following up on each other's questions, unfortunately, the press is not this organized group. it's not as though there's a smoke-filled room where everybody hangs out and says, we're going to ask sarah about the child immigration policy today. unfortunately, as brian said, there are competing interest and there's a lot of new

chief white house correspondent jim acosta traveling with the president. >> reporter: christine and dave, the president defended the practice of separating children at the border with the parents at the south carolina rally. he said facilities are warehoused and are better facilities used than the obama administration. here is what the president had to say at the rally in south carolina. >> i have my own feeling. i heard them talking about the children. first, they were using pictures taken in 2014 when obama was president. i wasn't president. and what i learned is one thing. our facilities are cleaner and better kept and better run. that's the one thing i learned. i saw them. what we have is two extremes. i said this is fine for us. >> reporter: you heard the president say not only does he think it is a good idea, he is saying to the audience in south carolina that it is good for him politically. dave and christine. >> thank you. agents will stop referring families to the justice department for prosecution until a policy is in place to keep parents with children. families will be releas

let's go to jim acosta. the president told aides he would go in swinging. give us a sense of what we can expect from this rather contentious gathering among allies. >> reporter: wolf, it sounds like he's already swinging and landing some punches. as the president was leaving the white house earlier this morning, he said russia could be invited back into the g7, making it the g8 again. you might be wondering why the president was kicked out of g8. it may be because of their meddling in the election of 2016 and poisoning in the u.k. of course, there is this whole trade issue that's popped up with the president slapping tariffs on canada. the president also saying, you have to remember why russia was kicked out of the g8. yes, wolf, this was a president when he comes to summits like this, it's sort of surreal and unusual to be covering an american president who is somewhat unwelcome at these meetings, and you have. it's sort of a g6 plus 1. covering an american president, he is only here for a short time. he's leaving the sut mim earlier before leaving. he sug

let's go to jim acosta. how do we get to the super bowl party that was anticipated on the south lawn of the white house to a concert over at the white house? >> reporter: wolf, this is part of the president's culture war designed to energize his base. the latest episode of that is the attack on the philadelphia eagles. accusing them of not standing for the anthem. we should point out from the factual bases that there were no eagles players who failed to stand for the anthem during the regular and post-season for the nfl. this attack on the eagles appears to be politically motivated. completely motivated politically and the last several minutes, the white house put out a st ons side. saying essentially there are too many eagles players not planning to show up. rather than have an event here where the president would have a small crowd size, you might say, they decided to disinvite the eagles. here is the statement from the e white house. the white house despite a lack of good faith, attempted to work with the

and first to white house correspondent jim acosta in south carolina right now. jim, the president's hard-line on immigration appears to be getting harder? [ chanting ] >> reporter: that is right. he will be campaigning here and he will hammer the issue of immigration until the mid-term elections coming up this fall. and even with families being separated with their children at the border, the president believes this issue is a winner for the republican party. as they try to down out questions from reporters, president trump pushed back on any notion he regrets signing an executive order to halt child separation at the border. >> the executive order was great. it was something that i felt we had to do. we want children staying together. the law has been this law for a long period of time. >> reporter: but the president doubled down on the hard-line stance declaring to set up a system that sends migrants back to home countries, no matter their circumstances. >> we want a system where when people come in illegally, they have to go out. and a nice simple system that

wolf. >> jim acosta at the white house. thank you. >>> and the president's policy reversal appears to have stopped family separations at the board. >> at least for now. it could take weeks to sort out the mess the former policy created. let's go to paulo sandoval in texas near the u.s.-mexican border. so what is the situation there? >> reporter: wolf, here in the south texas city we heard from federal officials as they walked step by step over about how the families are apprehended. only eight miles south of where we are here. and we heard from officials it is clear there is still plenty of confusion on how the family reunification is supposed to happen. >> reporter: tonight confusion and questions about the trump administration's zero-tolerance policy. how and when will parents and children separated at the border be reunited? >> today was the first day that we went in and among the people being criminally prosecuted for the misdemeanor of illegal entry, there were no parents. >> reporter: the department of health and huma

. >> also with us now, cnn white house press secretary jim acosta. >> after time traveling. >> picking up on the discussion that we're just having here, jim, as we look at all of this, we know you said the president was jubilant on air force one on the way back. understandably so. he was getting praise for bringing this to the table. in terms of what's in it for north korea, the white house making the push that this should be at the end of the day solely about the economics here. that was, in large part, what that video was they put together to the president showed him. >> reporter: that's right. you heard from nick christoph talking about one of the problems with all of this, one of the dangers is that the president is essentially parroting what the north koreans have been complaining about. there is no longer a nuclear threat coming from north korea. after one day of meeting with kim jong-un and signing a document that doesn't commit the north koreans of doing much of anything. >> they don't at this point -- they say they will allow, i suppose, inspectors to come in at some point. th

first, let's go to jim acosta. this is a significant win for the president. >> reporter: it certainly is. president trump is declaring victory after his travel ban was upheld by the supreme court. the high court's decision also appears to accuse the president's past insensitive comments about muslims, the same rhetoric he is using about migrants coming across the border. it was supreme vindication. >> a tremendous success. a tremendous victory for the american people our constitution. this is a great victory for our constitution. >> reporter: in a 5-4 decision, the supreme court upheld the ban. john roberts said the ban is within the scope of the presidential authority. in a blistering dissent, they said it sets aside the charged statements about muslims as irrelevant. it tells membersnority members of our community that they are not full members of the community. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out

. >> our chief white house correspondent jim acosta joins us now. jim, i understand we have some new reporting here. and when the president says he's narrowed the list down to five people, he may not have really narrowed the list down to five people. >> that's right, john. he did say on air force one he's narrowed it down to five people but he might talk to six or seven people, and a couple of those people might be coming out to new jersey where he's spending the weekend with his family. we do know there are a couple of people on this list who are being strongly considered at this point, two of them being bret cabinau, and also senator mike lee. the president talked about senator mike lee. he was rather effusive about the senator earlier today. he's known as a very strict constitutional conservative and also opposed to abortion rights. one thing we should note about all these candidates, they are in their late 40s or early 50s, and so they are checking boxes for this white house, checking boxes for this president who has said on air force one he does

jim acosta has details. press secretary, she had a little bit to say about the report. >> she certainly did. the white house pounced on the report that's critical of the justice department's handling of the clinton e-mail investigation. the white house was back on its heels when the administration tried to use the bible to justify the separation of children from their parents at the border. it didn't take long for white house to seize on the findings of an ig report, slamming the justice department's investigation into hillary clinton's e-mail practices. no surprise the report, which found james comey was insubordinate at times in his investigation, landed in the press secretary's talking points. >> the president was briefed on the ig report earlier today. it reaffirmed the president's suspicions about comey's conduct and the political bias among some of the members of the fbi. >> the white house is facing questions about another investigation into the trump foundation. in a lawsuit filed by the new york att

our chief white house correspondent jim acosta is joining us. the president is targeting the super bowl champions and his attorney general. so what is behind the attacks. >> it is politics. he staged the celebration of america at the white house after disinviting the eagles from an event zed kated to their super bowl championshipnd for t presid it is a continuation of the cultural wars accusing athl passing his patriotism test and this time the bright shiny object at the white house was the lombardi trophy itself. ♪ ♪ >> sm someone singing along to god bless america, he celebrated america but more like a celebration of him. reporter: the white house e hae held this tribute to the nation after pulling the plug on an event honoring the eagles for winning the super bowl. mr. trump was furious when he learned of the number of players attending and tweeted about it. decided to come and we canceled the event and accusing the eagles of attempted a stunt. >> if this wasn't a political stunt by the eagles franchise, then they wouldn't have planned to att

first, let's go to jim acosta. the president talked about immigration today. his focus was not on those separated families. >> reporter: that's right. president trump is downplaying the separation, pointing to famili families grieving relatives who were allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants. where is the plan? so far, the silence from the administration is deafening. president trump appeared to make light of children separated from their parents at the border, turning his attention to families who say their relatives were killed by undocumented immigrants. >> these are the american citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. the world ped permanently you ho think about. >> reporter: the president suggested undocument ed immigrants commit more crimes. >> you hear they are better people. it's not true. >> reporter: the mayor of el paso begs to differ. >> el paso is the safest city in the united states. >> reporter: two days after the president seemed to reverse course and announce he was halting the practice of separating migrant children from th

jim acosta, quebec city, canada. >> and let's bring in dominic thomas from germany. always good to have you on the show. first, this russia thing. it seemed to come out of the blue from the u.s. president at the g7. or did it when you consider the trump world's curious connections with that country? >> well, of course this recent declaration comes on the heels of the docounsel issuing yet another indictment, so it further confuses the conference about that. and asking to bring russia back to the table seems completely at odds with u.s. policy right now that just back in april imposed a whole set of you new sanctions on russia and president trump himself spoke out against the discord and confusion that russia had been doing here. and so to bring this right at the moment is tone deaf, it is completely ignoring the fact that the rest of the participants, and i will make one exception, do not want russia back at the table right now, they are at odds with russia over the skripal poisoning and the intervention in various elections and lack of transparency in their own elec

jim acosta, thank you. >>> let's bring in our white house reporter kate bennett. kate traveled with the first lady to texas. she's back at the white house right now. what are you learning about all of this, kate? >> reporter: clearly, the jacket has become a thing we're talking about. we watched the first lady return to the white house and go to the oval office. clearly, this wasn't a jacket she wore on the ground. she wore it on the way to texas, walking up to the plane and then we were surprised to see it again on the way back. of course, during the flight home was when all the controversy came up. this $39 jacket with this writing on the back. i think if any first lady had worn a jacket with a statement like that, be it michelle obama or laura bush or anyone, there would be questions, clearly, it's messaging. this is the first lady who is, in my opinion, used her fashion sense to reflect purpose. whether that's traveling to another country and mirroring that country's cull ture or the white pantsuit and white hat that many interpreted as beyonce. these are choi
