was a low blow i thought for nancy pelosi to go and talk to maureen dowd in this piece in "the new york timesd sort of trash the younger members who do have a following and do have a perspective and it is not just all on twitter. it is an entire wing of the democratic party. so for her i think to come and say oh, with you should make nice, well nancy pelosi, you were trashing them in the pages of the "new york times" very publicly. >> she was -- there is a serious rift that has emerged. house the white house viewing this. >> with glee. they love division with the democratic party that is -- part of it saying the president should be impeached and the other had a half is is conducting widespread investigation news the president and then there are over two dozen-ish, around that, running against donald trump and hoping to beat him in the presidential election so think kind of division between a party that is center left and more way to the left that is something the white house and the trump campaign wants to see and exploit over the next year and a half as they try to make the argument for why

so you can be too. >>> okay, we are back now with cnn contributor and "the new york times" correspondente haberman. she released an article this week that details the close relationship between president trump and multi-millionaire and registered sex offender jeffrey epstein who's facing a new round of child sex trafficking charges. maggie, here's part of what has raised interest in the relationship between president trump and jeffrey epstein is this quote that president trump himself gave to new york magazine in 2002 in which he says i've known jeff for 15 years, terrific guy, he's a lot of fun to be with. it's even said he likes beautiful women as much as i do, and many of them are on the younger side. back in 2002 at least what was their relationship? >> by then they were still friends. they did have a falling out, and i think it's important to note the relationship is not current. it ended it sounds like at least a decade ago. the president said that to kellyanne conway. although what exactly caused the fall out is unclear. although 15 years prior to that in that quote and prior to t

if "the new york times" reporting is correct, it appears the u.s. is going to significantly lower the bar for what they want to accomplish here. >> reporter: well, that's right, dave. "the new york times" is saying that officials are telling them that they are considering going for the step-by-step approach when it comes to denuclearization. it's something north korea wants. it's something quite frankly that most experts will say is far more realistic which is what they are trying for now, which is complete denuclearization. we have seen that administrations in the past try this and we've seen them fail, but the fact is there is a consensus definitely here in the region that north korea is not going to give up its nuclear weapons just like that. in fact, some say they won't give up their nuclear weapons at all. "the new york times" saying this will be a little bit more of an acceptance of north korea as a nuclear state. simply there does have to be some progress for this to be seen as more than just a handshake diplomacy. listen to what the president

this in "the new york times" published overnight. joining us to discuss, sara isner and bianna golodryga. let me read you two graphs from this "new york times" story overnight. raid to arrest thousands of undocumented families have been scheduled to begin sunday. this is according to to two current and one former homeland security official. and then the raids which will be conducted by i.c.e. over multiple days will include collateral deportations according to the officials. in those deportations, the authorities might detain immigrants who happen to be on the scene even though they were not the targets of the raids. now bianna, we've been told for weeks these raids have been coming. the new information from "the times" overnight is it is sunday. targeting some thousands of families including children. what do you see here? >> it'll be interesting to watch how the democrats respond to this. remember, the president held off on the initial plan for the raids is few weeks ago as you just mentioned. also be interesting to see what happens

"the new york times." i call it the failing "new york times" for a reason.liability and see what they're worth. they're a failing -- they're already a failed "new york times." when they write a story like that, i went to my people and it's not true. we told them about a crisis. they said it was manufactured. they laughed and they stopped for months. and it turns out it wasn't manufactured. it's a crisis. we were right about that. we told them that the detention centers are really full. and they got to change the loopholes and they have to change asylum. they have to change the immigration laws. we can do it quickly, but we have no votes to do it because the democrats won't vote. we need some of their votes. but "the new york times" story is a fabrication. now i look at things. i saw visually. i had people there that told me the job they are doing is incredible. and in all cases, you look, people that came from unbelievable poverty, that had no water, no anything, where they came from, those are people that are very happy with what's going on because relative

if you look at places like the new york times, this from a graph in the new york times. ey will argue gun ownership has been falling over time. now about 30 percent of american households own a gun. and the one survey that they rely on is something called the general social survey. i will give you a story. a few years ago i got a call from a producer at abcnews. they were doing a story, a series of stories about the risks of guns in the home. and i was talking to them for about an hour and and a half hours into the conversation she made the comments, at least this won't be too much of a problem in the future because fewer and fewer homes will have guns. and i said well not really sure. i said i assume that you are relying on the general social survey. and she said yeah. i said you know that abcnews, you have your own survey? and your own survey does not show the drop that it shows as basically flat over time as a percentage of the population? and she didn't believe me. and i said i can send you a copy of your own survey. and so i did that. and a couple of days later, abcn

since you see them in the new york times and places like that. i wanted to let you know how sensitive the results are. you find in fact is a negative relationship that more guns are associated with a slightly lower homicide rates. if you add in brazil and russia, it makes it even more negative. even if you include the united states in there. the thing is, with the united states supposedly way out here by itself. i'm using their low numbers for guns for switzerland and israel over here. the united states here all by itself pulls up the line. if you were to fix switzerland and israel, those would be way out here and they'd pull the line back down by themselves. so i just want you to know how sensitive these results are and how it depends on one observation and how they are excluding some of the other observations that are there. if you were to look at all countries. not just developed countries. you find the countries that have the most guns have the lowest homicide rates. and you can look at it again. you find the countries with the most gun owners

i think about the new york times, during the holocaust new york times did all it could to cover up theduring the holocaust the new york times, the american people didn't even learn until 1944 but the owners of that newspaper knew full well what was going on because they were trying to get their family out of germany. it wasn't just the new york times, it was the washington post in the american media yet we've reached a point in our country were summary like you, a very righteous man, a man who spends his time and his effort trying to get fax out, knowledge out, talking to millions of people, organizing millions of people to vary just because, you are supposed to believe out there on the fringes. they on the other hand are the rational spokesman for the modern society. when we returned, i want to know what you think about that. we'll be right back. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, your plans can change in minutes. your head wants to do one thing, but your gut says, "not today." if your current treatment isn't working, ask your doctor about entyvio. entyvio acts spe

we have 50 million immigrants here that would disagree with "the new york times." they came for some reason. there were 50 million people in the united states that mostly came from poor countries. they have a different language, culture, and protocol than ours, and they wanted to give it up to come to the united states. we took in more immigrants last year than any country combined. we do not have a legacy like china murdering 37 million people or rush of 20 million people or destroying europe twice like germany or starting a war in the pacific like japan or driving people out of their homes in central and latin america. i don't know what happened to the new modernist idea that you have to be perfect to be good, and the shortcoming defines you rather than the majority of your positive traits. but my god, the united states is the great country that it always has been. and as far as jefferson, we are hearing that jefferson was a flawed individual. what man in history was president of the united states, vice president of the united states, secretary of state with the l

also today the president accusing the new york times of exaggerating the description of conditions inside facility. the one in clint, texas. this is the reporting from that new york times article. outbreaks of scabies, shingles and chickenpox were spreading among the hundreds of children being held in cramped cells, agents said. the stench of the children's dirty clothing was so strong it spread to the agent's own clothing. people in town would scrunch their noses when they left work. the children cried constantly. one girl seemed likely enough to try to kill herself that the agents made her sleep on a cot in front of them so they could watch her as they were processing new arrivals. president trump today calling that account phony. also taking issue with it, the acting head of the department of homeland security. >> know what our standards are and i know they're being followed because we have tremendous levels of oversight. >> you don't believe "the new york times" report? >> so you're asking -- >> the stench of the children's dirty clothing was so strong it spread to the agent. they had

all it said about me was that "the new york times" -- that i had been quoted as saying that. that's true. the new york quoted me as -- "the new york times" quoted me as saying that. i voted for this i asked all the members to vote for it. for a number of reasons. but one of them was i didn't want to see this congress split over something like this why are we policing something of this nature? why does congress think that we should police the speech of members on the floor here or especially if it doesn't violent the rules. or outside the chambers. never in the history of the united states house of representatives has a been removed from committees because of even an accurate quote by the press outside these walls that didn't take place in this building or on this capitol grounds in any way whatsoever. never has even an accurate quote been used to sanction a member of congress. so we have instead a misquote that was in a 56-minute telephoned interview with "the new york times" reporter who -- our leader, kevin mccarthy, said he could type as fast as anybody can talk and pageant

but "the new york times,"de god bless them, their opinionn. team tweeted out a video to let you know that american greatness is a myth. take a look. >> we got so caught up in the rhetoric about america being the greatest country on earth that we have long ignored the cracks in our system. and while a bit of patriotism is great, jingoism is dangerous. especially when it is built on old or fake news. so as we gear up for another election season where politicians tell us that america is great or that it isn't and then proceed to make it worse. let's try a truthful approach. america may have once been the greatest, but today america, we are just okay. >> gregg: you got that? we are just okay. also, this week, city officials in thomas jefferson's hometown voted to no longer celebrate his birthday because the third president and declaration of independence author owned slaves. joining us now with reaction is victor davispe hanson. so, we are just okay, because our health care is not the greatest, in their opinion, and education is not good enough. an

the white house is contesting a new york times report alleging awful conditions at migrant detention center facilities across south texas. christina coleman in our west coast news room with more. reporter: hi, jon. now the new york times is reacting to president trump's claim they're writing phony and exaggerated thes of border detention centers. on twitter the new york times responded by saying they're confident in the accuracy of their reporting and posted a quote from today's article that reads "the account of what happened at nearby border facilities are based on dozens of interviews by the new york times and the el paso times of current and former border patrol agents, and supervisors, lawyers , lawmakers and aids, who visited the facility and an immigrant father whose children were held there." congresswoman also said she saw bad conditions at the migrant detention center in clint, texas herself. >> it's traumatic. i mean, i don't know how to explain to people what we saw when we're explaining to people and they're kind of looking back saying well that can't be true and i said b

provided more in terms of international diplomacy and more seriously, what's your rae action to the "new york timeshis morning that the u.s. would essentially searching for a nuclear freeze with snaur. >> well, i have to say that my trip across the dmz into new york was equally as consequential as president trump's trip a day -- >> there's still time, josh. >> now that my picture has been widely circulated on cnn. we might see some progress. let's cross our fingers. >> right. >> what we're seeing is that the president has done something good, which is to keep the process of peace alive, but it's simply not enough. there's no actual progress and there's no -- you know, we look at this reporting in "the new york times." you can see that as one idea by some officials who want to push this idea of a freeze, but that's not actually u.s. policy. there's no actual indication on the north korean side that the fundamentals of this dynamic have changed at all. they're not showing any willingness to be denuclearized. their negotiators have been missing for the last few weeks. if this starts the process again,

i think anything "the new york times" writes nowadays, they use the word unhinged, "the new york timesrite a story like that, i went to my people and they said, sir, it's not true. we told them about a crisis. they said it was manufactured. they laughed, but "the new york times" story is a fabrication. i had people there that told me the job they are doing is incredible. >> okay. so i know you're shaking your head and i have a minute left with you. briefly, what were you writing about and what is your response to the president? >> my colleagues and i for that story talked to border patrol agents and they were our primary sources, agents who worked at the facility in clint, texas, and told us what they saw. the idea that is a fabrication is completely ridiculous. these are people who have firsthand knowledge of the conditions. but if you don't believe them, you can look at inspector general reports that the department of homeland security has created and they corroborate the conditions that we wrote about in the facilities and so when you have the agency that runs the facilities corrobo

the pool of people who have been through the due process chain. >> reporter: according to "the new york times," the trump administration's goal in these raids is to send a strong message to those thinking about crossing the southern border illegally. >> much more on this in a second. meantime, we have new reporting this morning on the fate of labor secretary alexander acosta. is his job more secure this morning after he offered no regrets, no apologies in defending his role in a secret plea deal for jeffrey epstein? joe johns is at the white house. joe, the labor secretary gave a news conference targeting an audience of one. did the president like it? >> reporter: he sure did. at some point, acosta seemed to be speaking straight to the camera, john. and the white house did want alex acosta to go out, face the public, face the camera about the deal he struck for jeffrey epstein more than a year ago. it seems clear the president was not inclined to show him the door based on that, but there's still a lot of pushback now about how that went down and his version of events compared to what some ot

the "el paso times." they teamed up with the "new york times" for this report. dent trump saying quote "the new york times" story is a fabrication? >> well, generally a journalist can't share his opinion but in this reference, i'll just say that we stand by our reporting, and i stand with the "new york times" and "el paso times" in this reporting this story. >> i think you've covered ground we haven't seen before as thoroughly and that is border patrol agents themselves as sources and former border patrol agents as sources and we get a wider frame on the picture of who they are as human beings. they -- many of them seem very, very concerned about what is happening to those kids. >> sure. plenty of border patrol agents are neighbors, many of them joined the agency here in el paso and certainly many people in el paso know a border patrol agent or cbp agent and this reporting, yes, you'll see a little bit of take, if you will, of what a bp agent might tell their family member, what they might talk with their friends after work, simply what we're trying to do is rela

all of this as "the new york times" is reporting the u.s. may be willing to agree to a nuclear freeze, which would pause further weapons development in north korea, but allow it to keep existing weapons. this would be a reversal for the trump administration's previous goal of complete denuclearization by north korea. white house national security adviser john bolton slammed the report, tweeting, i read this "new york times" story with curiosity. neither the nsc staff nor i have discussed or heard of any desire to settle for a nuclear freeze by north korea. this was a reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the president. there should be consequences. bolton, who has been a strong advocate for full denuclearization of north korea was in mongolia and not present for trump's meeting with kim. after the kim meeting, the president took aim at the obama administration and its inability to get a meeting with kim, according to trump. >> president obama wanted to meet and chairman kim would not meet him. the obama administration was begging for a

"the new york times" has done extraordinariy reporting. we started the week, i think peter was here monday, talking about extraordinary reporting partnered with the local paper at the border, about what border -- what has to break? what has to break for this to stop? >> what you're feeling right now, i share it. it's a feeling of being alive at a time of atrocity. and that's what is happening right now. it does feel like we have this slow-moving human catastrophe and it's our names as americans. he started out by saying i will protect you from criminals and gangs and rapists and instead women and children and fathers dyeing for the sake of their children to try to get into this country. >> face down in the river. >> exactly. so this is actually something that has turned the tide for many americans who are politically in the middle. you have had hundreds of thousands of people in the streets on july 2 there was a day of action. there's another one planned for tomorrow. this is actually -- i mean, in some ways i think the democrats need to be

the "new york times" called it a master piece of drama. new video on north korean television shows the step into north korea in slow motion. here's the president a short time later. >> it was an honor to be with you. it was an honor you asked me to step over that line. i am proud to have stepped over the line. it was great, very historic. >> after the nearly hour long meeting with kim jong-un, hints at where all of this stage craft may be headed. the "new york times" reporting that the administration is working on a dole that would include a nuclear freeze in other words accepting essentially the status quo, short of what the president promised which was full denuclearization. richard engle is in seoul south korea. if this kind of deal were to be made -- the white house is pushing back a bit this morning -- what could it do politically? obviously it could set the bar for a president. it is more achievable than denuclearization. as the "new york times" reports this approach would not mean existing weapons are dismantled, wouldn't limit the n

the new yorker published this account? >> i'm not going to comment on the new yorker's journalistic practices, "the new york times" that theyould not work operate story and so the person making the accusation have been calling around last week to other classmates indicating her uncertainty about whether i had ever done such a thing. >> martha: so now, nearly ten months later, jane mayer appears to be concerned with the fallout from similar uncorroborated reports. specifically when it comes to the former senator al franken. he was essentially run out of town for this photo and several other claims, many of which were unsubstantiated. she writes "franken got railroaded and almost nothing is main accuser said checks out," she tweets. look at the regret now surfacing from democrats who turn to own backs on al franken. a former senate minority leader harry reid who watched the drama unfold from retirement told her it's terrible what happened to him. it was unfair. this may prove to be a dark moment in the american witch hunt animals. there are countless dead among the side of the road. more than 200 of them according to "the new

"the new york times" detailing that disease, hunger and simply unsanitary conditions are rampant in these facilities. the president calling that story a hoax, suggesting that "the new york times" is working hand in hand with democrats to try to plant stories that will embarrass him. instead, the president says he believes that migrants at these facilities are happy because conditions there are better than in their home countries. listen to more of what the president said. >> and in all cases, if you look, people that came from unbelievable poverty, that had no water, they had no anything where they came from, those are people that are very happy with what's going on because relatively speaking they're in much better shape right now. >> reporter: president trump was also asked if he would visit one of these migrant detention families. he did not answer the question directly, but instead suggested that he would have the press visit one of the facilities to document conditions for themselves and to try to disprove this reporting in "the new york times." boris sanchez, cnn, traveling with the

he was specifically asked about reporting from the "new york times" that claims that the agency's leadership knew for months that some children are no beds to sleep on, no way to clean themselves, and sometimes went hungry. >> "the new york times" says that the agency's leadership knew for months that some children had no beds to sleep on, no way to clean themselves, and sometimes went hungry. its own agents had raised the alarm, according to the story. >> we have no evidence -- >> did you know anything? >> we have no evidence that children went hungry, first of all. police station cells are not a good place for children as i have said dozens of times. >> had they raised alarms that you had heard about. >>> of course we're worried about. everyone in the entire chain of command is worried about the children. >> you don't believe "the new york times" report? >> the stench of the closing was so strong, they had scabies, chickenpox. >> you referenced three things that were unsubstantiated, unadequate food, inadequate water and unclean cells. >> the dhs inspector general has reported on the sub p

new jersey where the president spent the weekend at his golf club. it seems like we're coming full circle here. >> reporter: yeah. the president essentially calling this reporting in "the new york times" a hoax. this reporting really eye opening indicates that there are awful conditions. including many which house minors. reports of disease and hunger and unhygienic conditions. the president believes "the new york times" is working hand in hand with democrats to plant the stories to embarrass him. he believes many of the migrants are happy. notably, he said that officials have told him the people running the facilities are doing an excellent job. we should point out that two top administration officials on immigration have denied the reporting in "the times." they have acknowledged because of the increased flow of migrant families, that has strained resources in order to bring these people their needed day to day requirements. the president blamed that on democrats, suggesting that their inability to close loopholes in congress has caused the conditions at the facilities. the president was asked if he would visit one of the facilities himself. he did not answer the question directly.

. >> "the new york times" looked at that in a new report. t's advantage in the electoral college could be larger than it was in 2016. his campaign may do better, even if it loses the international vote. it may lessen the cost of actions, including the racist tweets, that includes orr tez. let's put this in perspective with james boyes. we've seen the president attacking the four congresswomen of color. as democrats respond in contrast, does that knock them off-balance from commanding their own message, heading into 2020? >> good morning, george. there's no doubt about it, from the moment he ascended the elevator in trump tower, he's been effective at dominating and guiding the political narrative of the united states. and so long as the democratic party failed to have a single, coherent message, or leader going into the election cycle, i think he will continue to do just that. and of course, his goal, quite frankly, is that the democrats remain divided, as long as possible. ultimately, in his view, to have somebody lead that party into the el

dismissing a new report about squalid conditions for migrants detained at the southern border calling the claims phony. >> the president is praising border patrol agents and blasting a "new york times" story that claims disease is now spreading among children. abc's trevor ault has the new details from washington. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, kenneth and janai. we've heard from visitors at these detention facility, members of congress, pediatricians, and they have talked about what they call are horrifying conditions but this latest report cites border patrol agents, current and former, that say the cells are cramped and there are outbreaks of diseases. now, president trump is waving off those reports. he does say there is a problem at the border and they're overcrowded at their facilities but he is saying this is the fault of the democrats and says this latest report is a fabrication. with both political parties now calling border conditions a crisis, president trump continuing to defend migrant detention facilities and the border patrol agents who run them. >> now, i look at things and they -- i saw visually i have people there that told me the job that they a
