"the new york times" piece notes that the traditional media focused on what led to flynn's downfall. misleading mike pence about russian transmissions. the more right-leaning outlets focused on the leaks from washington that had put pressure on flynn to step aside and whether these leaks were intended to damage president trump. what do you think? depending on where you get your news, flynn was either held accountable or he was a victim. on a certain fair and balanced network, you heard talk of the illegal leaks. >> the long knives were out for flynn almost at the moment that he was announced. i think this really was a death by 1,000 leaks. >> tom: the mai

as kristin welker reported earlier, this resignation was tendered tonight. the acting national security adviser is keith kellogg, who was the chief of staff, but certainly we're noticing tomorrow on the president's schedule is not only the previously scheduled lunch with chris christie and his wife, who has been critical from the outside of a lot of the things that have been happening, but also we have noticed the attorney general and john kelly, the former general whose home land security secretary are coming to meet with the president as well tomorrow. former general kelly is one person who has been confirmed in the cabinet for homeland, and he could certainly easily move over to become national security adviser. we've also been told that former general petraeus and others, tom bossert, who is the national security expert on counterterrorism, are in the running or at least being looked at by the white house. >> andrea, with a request to you that you not move an inch because things are moving too fast, we want to bring in two more guests who have been very

harris: kristin fisher is live for us outside the white house. how intense was this search, the cell phones, turn them over? >> reporter: harris, it was pretty intense it. included both government issued and certainly cell phones, this goes to show you the extent which white house press secretary sean spicer is willing to go to plug the leaks that keep coming out of the white house. here's what we know. according to senior administration official, last week spicer called nearly two dozen staffers and asked them to hand over their phones to prove they had nothing to hide. they weren't the leakers, and reportedly warned all the staffers that round one of this was quote, unquote recess compared to what would happen in round two of the investigation. here we have a leak about a meeting to stop leaks. harris? harris: part of the leaks the press secretary is unhappy about have to go into the investigation into russian interference into the presidential election. where do the investigations stand right now? >> reporter: the fbi and two congressional com

kristin fisher in west palm beach. kristin? >> president trump came down here with one main goal. gentlemen, he had these meetings about obama care and the big rally in melbourne. his main goal was to find a new national security advisor. president trump has done just that. he met with four candidates over the weekend at mar-a-largo. one man has won out. that's h.r. mcmaster. he's a career army officer. he graduated from westpoint and served in iraq an afghan stand currently the director of the army capability center. he's now president trump's next national security advisor. >> a man of tremendous talent and experience. i watched and read a lot the last two days. he is highly respected by everybody in the military. we're very honored to have him. >> mr. president, thanks very much. i'd like to say what a privilege it is to continue to serve our nation and look forward to the national security team and protect the interests of the american people. >> two of the other finalists also got job offers today. lieutenant general keith kellogg who had been serving as the acting national s

kristin fisher live at the white house. thanks, kristin.more. >> yeah, certainly a lot of conversation so here to weigh in on the president's decision not to attend the white house correspondence dinner and tense relationship the media reporter joe, joe, thank you so much for joining us, sir. ic that is a little bit better. my first question to you is this tweet from donald trump, selective outrage or warranted that you think it's not attending? >> selective outrage on the media's part quite frankly. we didn't hear anything about boycotts from certain outlets or threats of boycotts when, for instance, the obama justice department seized phone records from the associated press. more than two months of it. there were no boycotts when, i don't know, reporters were spied on like james rosen from this network or when the obama administration rejected a freedom of information act, there was no outrage for the actions of the administration against the press but now because donald trump's rhetoric may be offensive to some, same with president nixon

we go to kristin welker outside the white house. we have to talk about this ceo meeting. until today, it's been kcordial. the ceo from uber is not attending, he wants off the commission. >> reporter: he cited the president's immigration order, he was under pressure from employees and customers opposed to it. this is what the ceo of tesla is saying, elon musk. we will express our objections to the recent executive order on immigration. this could have a different tone, steph, we'll have to wait and see. steph? >> there could be a positive tone. talk about the executive order and president trump pulling back on dodd-frank, the regulation shah strangled banks. you have jaime dimon sitting in the room probably smiling. >> reporter: there are two actions the president is going to take, steph. one is an executive order that is going to effectively ask for the review of over regulations and issues of financial service over regulation. basically taking a hard look at dodd-frank, what can be changed and scaled back. he's going to ask the labor department of a rule on consumer prod

now, kristin, here is the catch.t political headline is from obama administration.y >> you're absolutely right. obama got a little bit of flack from the left, some folks called him deporter in chief. you did not see the level of outrage that you are likely to see to president trump. folks on the left may not have been eager to criticize president obama, now that president trump is taking his policy and dialing to 11 and actually putting teeth behind it, you will see a lot more people turning out in the streets to protest. >> eric: this is not true under presidenthi trump. president obama actually started.s this person was caught in 2013. >> absolutely. i.c.e. raids back in massachusetts earlier in obama's administration, he deported 3 million people. he has done a lot of the work at the border particularly. the issue is whether people want to see people here illegally have a path to citizenship or not. 60% of american people want to see that whether that'sig citizenship or legal status implicates the voting rights of

that's not what we want for america's diplomats. >> kristine from a military perspective you've got the national security council has not had a formal meeting yet. supposedly there might be one later this week. when they announced an nsc meeting inaccurately, there were no cabinet secretaries, just a staff meeting with the president, that was yesterday. there have been no new deputies apointed at pentagon or at state. the state department deputy was overruled by the president. there are loyalty tests now being applied at cabinet deputies and undersecretaries. how can it all function in this way? >> i think it's going to be pretty challenging right now, n andr andrea, that is for certain. while we have strong secretaries in secretary mattis and secretary tillerson and the new national security adviser they can't do all of it alone. they need deputies. they need undersecretaries and the trump administration is well behind schedule right now in terms of getting thoseey players into place. >> they've complained that it's because of the slow walking by the democrats of confirming cabinet nom

kristin? >> 82% of trans-gender children report feeling unsafe at school. isn't the president leaving some of these children open to vulnerable to being bullied at school? >> no. there's bullying laws and policies in place in almost every one of the schools. >> the children not being able to use the -- >> you're missing the point here, kristin. the president said literally it should be a state decision. he respects the decision of the states. so therefore -- >> it's a states right issue -- >> you're trying to make an issue out of something that doesn't exist. it was the courts that stopped this in august of last year. where were the questions last year in august about this? it wasn't implemented correctly, legally. the procedure wasn't followed because the court found at the time they didn't have the authority to do that. so you're asking us why we're following the law that wasn't followed. the reality -- hold on. we're not reversing it. hold on. we're not reversing it. that is a misinterpretation of this scenario. the court stopped it. it enjoined it in au

. >>> we also want to get to kristin welker to talk about that immigration policy.'re going to start with what we talked about earlier, president trump visiting the national museum of african-american history and culture and specifically what he said to nbc's craig melvin. kristin, did calling anti-semitism horrible and painful do enough to silence his critics? >> reporter: well, not necessarily. there was some pushback, particularly from the ann frank center, which called it akin to putting a band-aid on cancer. however, a lot of people were waiting for the president to something about what has been an uptick of threats against jewish community centers. he was pressed on it today by our own craig melvin. he denounced it really in his most forceful terms yet. and then he denounced anti-semitism again in prepared remarks. this comes after hillary clinton earlier today tweeted that the president really needed to speak out about this and after his daughter last night ivanka trump tweeted that she denounced this as well. for some people this was too little too late beca

nbc kristin welker is live in florida. >> greta, the president just arrived hereafter he made that stop at boeing with you you just mention trying to turn a page. he started that process yet with that news conference and today he motor vehicspoke at boeing. he vowed to bring jobs back home. with lockheed martin, he talked about getting better deal with some of these planes. president saying negotiations are ongoing. it doesn't seem as they they have a deal yet. this is going on as the search continues for knew national security adviser. the acting national security adviser lieutenant general keith kellogg. mcmaster, fbi petraeus. retired army general as well as former un ambassador. i have been told he going to meet with three of those contender over the weekend. this is key post and key to turning around this cycle he has had. he going to have family time. his daughter is here with her children. and son-in-law as well. greta. >> is there a front runner? >> i have been asking that question all day long. i cannot get the white house to pin down a front runner. i can tell you this is sear

kristin welker is joining us. watched your reporting ohhen t -- on the president's many comments about vladimir putin. what makes this so different? >> reporter: well, because a lot of people, republicans included, felt as thgh moral equivalency between vladimir putin and some of the leaders in this country. by the way, that's something that his vice president had denied when he appeared on "meet the press" over the weekend. but the bottom line is it put republicans in a tough spot, having to defend the president or distance themselves from him. and most of them distanced themselves from him. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying that he doesn't view vladimir putin through that lens. >> sounds like we've lost kristin welker. >> sounds like we the audio was cutting out a little bit. i think we did get a little bit of the gist of what she was saying, in that it put republicans in a really tough spot. obviously they don't want to be seen as going against their president, but you don't necessarily want to be o

kristin? >> reporter: arthel, so far the white house hasn't said anything about who won this round of golf course diplomacy or even what was said between president trump and prime minister abe. the press wasn't allowed to take think photos or videos, all we got was this picture that president trump posted on his twitter account of the two leaders high-fiving earlier now, yesterday at that formal white house press conference the two leaders were really stressing their similarities that the u.s. will continue to defend japan, that japanese companies will continue to invest in the united states and that the two leaders share, of course, a love of golf. their differences, no mention of president trump's withdrawal from the trans-pacific partnership which prime minister abe supported, no mention of trade deficit which the president had promised to even out. but there's plenty of time for those tougher topics to come up over a round of golf. whether or not they did or whether or not we'll ever find
