.org, now on c-span two on to today's white house briefing with administrator scott pruitt and shawn spicer. [inaudible conversations] good afternoon, everyone. eta admission pruitt is here today to deliver a brief statement on the president's announcement yesterday and answer any questions you have regarding the tran 828. as always, i ask that you keep your questions for administer pruitt on topic. once he's finished i'll be back to answer questions of the day. i would note that he has a flight to had to so will keep this relatively short on his end. >> it's good to be with you this afternoon. i want the first began by saying that the president made a very courageous decision yesterday in the on behalf of america and he put america's interest first with respect to environmental agreements and international discussions. i really appreciate his fortitude and i appreciate his leadership in this matter, the discussion of the last several weeks has been one of a thoughtful deliberation. he heard many voices, voices across the wide spectrum of advantage points and the president made a very infor

the white house was adamant that these were travel restrictions that it was not a travel ban and shawn spicer says it was not a travel ban, is it a travel ban? >> i don't think the president cares what you call it. whether you call it a ban or a r restriction. he cares that we take steps of the people of this country. it is simple. everybody wants to get in the labels but the bottom line is he's trying to protect the citizens of this country. the danger is clear and the law is clear the executive order is clear. the president's priority in protecting the people is very clear. >> we ask you to follow up what john was asking of the mayor of london, there is going to be folks who are going to ask a question with the president attacking the mayor is because he's muslim. >> not at all. >> given the importance of twitter in the president's communication strategy, can you tell his tweets are being vetted by a lawyer or any other aid and why not and if so, when did that start? not that i am aware of it. social media for the president is extremely important. it gives him the ability to speak to the pe

shawn spicer says that the administration is working with congress to get spending cuts into raise the debt ceiling. for the very latest i want to go to adam shapiro who is their life inside of the briefing. we did not cure many questions there from reporters. about the jobs report. the jobs report is kind of an port story. there was the discussion about the jobs report. in the jobs report my needs on increase of 7,000 jobs. since october when my need hit its low point in 2016 we had added 47,000 jobs in mining and trade that supports it. you hear this from people like gary cohen. it will make other products competitive. you heard scott pruitt did ministration same the only issue that the president considered is the paris feel good or bad for the united states does it put doesn't put it as an economic disadvantage. the ruling on that is a yes. the other issue is that congress comes back to washington next week and boy does it have a full plate. most important among some is raising the debt ceiling. the secretary of the treasury has said we had hit it actually. the extraordinary measure

the more of the potential -- [ inaudible ] shawn spicer say this is bill does not have any effect. >>oth parties know how to explain that issue. >> absolutely. republicans are dammed if you do or dammed if you don't of the situation. >> this is the law of the land but also if they mess or if they repeal this bill, it is going to affect a lot of people and a lot of the people are in the trump's base. if they don't do anything, the base can rebel. >> medicaid expansion on one hand, george and on the other hand is should we lose the republican primaries on this? >> repeal and replacing obamacare is extremely popular. >> a lot of people don't understand what that means. >> of course. >> it is a sort of a wash of the rest of the country which means, i think at the end of the day, people are going to wake up and see no matter what we pass is not repealed or replaced, it is something we like to do and move on. >> president is going to get this? >> he seems optimistic. he did an interview out today talking about wanting to have everyone come together. he does not understand republicans and de

shawn spicer in the press briefing today did not go that far saying yes, the president probably believesed in the election. here is the tweets you're talking about. he said the president in his tweets sort of says the reason the president did nothing about russia after being notified by the cia of meddling is he expected clinton would win. within that tweet, packed inside of that, is sort of that acknowledgement and by the way, obviously, as you know, there was pushback from president obama under that administration in the fall of 2016. it is interesting messaging here coming out of the white house. in my conversations with white house officials, i keep getting pointed to the same sentence. that's a sentence from january. when the president said, related to hacking and interference of the election, i think it is russia, but maybe it is other nations as well. and other people that are out there. i'm paraphrasing that quote. and that is not a -- necessarily a definitive answer, it is an answer but not as full throated as some had hoped the president would say. sean spicer asked about this

. >> harris: shawn spicer just wrapping up 30 seconds before the top of the hour, taking questions.any of them about tweets. our own john roberts was there. you can imagine, it sean have to talk about the present with tweets. whether or not they were officially present or white house. he said they were official statements on twitter by the president. no doubt, more to come, but we have other things to talk about reform, obama here. i am harris, >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 at the white house. president trump is meeting with republicans and congress. trying to figure out how to get healthcare and tax reform back on track. we'll look at their plan action coming up. we mark 73 years since d-day. allied forces launching another key operation. ahead, the battle for the islamic state's so-called capitol, raqqa. not only did the russians hack the dnc computers, now they tried to hack america's voting software days before the presidential election. we know because the government confirmed published documents are real when

sh shawn spicer doesn't want to contradict anything the president has said. i've covered the bush administration, the obama administration and the trump administration. never have we seen a press secretary who responds like this. but it is because of the principal, because of the president, because he is quite flexible and fluid on his views. so the white house press secretary and others speaking for him have intentional hi taken the line of, i've not asked him about that, because they know he's changed his view. on the issue of russian interference in the election, this happened seven months ago, election day was. everyone in this town has stipulated to it, republicans, democrats, every member of every intelligence community, but sean spicer did not feel confident enough to say the president believes that, because he's one of the few people left in this town who will not say that. but logical, i'm not sure. legal, perhaps that's the reason he didn't say that today. >> what did sean spicer have to say what the president thinks of the health care bill? >> repo

when you listen to the distinctions that glenn is showing us in wait shawn spicer is speaking now, itlawyer is telling him to speak. >> yeah. he may have a lawyer. he may have just gotten good advice. he is supposed to be at the podium representing the point of the view of the president and the president earlier acknowledged russia intervened in our election. i think the biggest question for us as citizens is if you have russia who intervened in our election 2016 and is threatening to do so in 2018, 2020, how can we have confidence that our president is supposed to be defending us from that when his press secretary can't acknowledge that the threat exists. press secretary says he doesn't know if the president believes the threat exists. attorney general testified last week he hasn't been briefed thon threat. as americans we should be concerned whether or not we are protected from the threat to our democracy. going forward if our president and attorney general seems oblivious to the threat. >> ron, the lawyer up news of the day is that the top lawyer in the american government now has

there was one remarkable thing, sean spicer attempting to answer questions about the president's tweet storm. so what was the interaction you had with shawnceer? >> reporter: we once again got our nonanswers off camera today. it was another restriction placed on us by the white house. and unfortunately, we all went along with it. here's one example of -- one exchange where i tried to ask sean spicer to turn the cameras back on and here's what happened. sean, can you answer whether -- >> there's no camera on, jim. >> maybe we should turn the cameras on, sean? >> i'm sorry, jen. jen? >> the lights are on. there is a room. >> reporter: there was another exchange later on in the press briefing where we tried again. during that exchange, sean spicer ignored my question about why the cameras were off, but a report we are the conservative outlet, oann, went ahead and asked sean spicer the same question, and he said basically we're going to have days where we have the cameras on and where we don't have the cameras on. but if you look at the last several gaggles and briefings here at the white house, anderson, they've nearly been all off camera. s
