this "wall street journal" page one story, "spies keep intelligence from donald trump on leak concerns." >> president trump: "the wall street journal" did a story today that was almost as disgraceful as the feeling "new york times"'s story yesterday. any suggestion that the united states intelligence community, this was just given to us, is withholding information and not providing the best possible intelligence to the president and his national security team is not true. >> martha: while the president awaits the confirmation for senator dan coats, who is going to be as director of national intelligence and a big important coordinator and all of the scum of "the new york times" is winning this headline. "white house plans to have trump ally review intelligence agencies, an outsider." we are joined for the white house reaction and tony schaefer. we begin tonight with catherine herridge. catherine. >> thank you, martha. based on the reporting tonight, there is deep unease at the fbi over new law enforcement lakes amid the bureau's probe of former national security advisor mike flynn and the timing coming less than three hours under the president's new mac news conference, where he praised flynn and condemned the leaks. >> president trump: i have gone through all of the folks in charge that of the various agencies, and i have actually called the justice department to look into the leaks. those are criminal leaks. they are put out by people either in agencies, i think you will see it stopping because now we have our people. >> within the last hour, the cia issuing this statement on behalf of director mike pompeo that reads in part, "the cia does not, has not, and will never hide intelligence from the president, period. we are not aware of any instance in which that has occurred." today, a government official said that president trump has been receiving the daily brief, and the tension came flynn began gathering brought intelligence for its own separate brief for mr. trump. that is not typical and may have caused tension. the president is now backing away from may know mike naming stephen fienberg, a hedge fund manager, to review the executive branch. mr. trump said his nominee for the director of natural intelligence, senator coats, may soon be in place with director pompeo and fbi director comey. >> president trump: we now have dan coats, hopefully soon, mike pompeo, and james comey, and they are in position. so, i hope that we will be able to straighten that out without using anybody else. >> also, the former director of national intelligence james clapper condemned the leaks and asked for the investigation be respectful of the intelligence community professionals who put politics to one side, martha. >> martha: catherine, thank you very much. one former cia analyst believes the intel community is withholding some information from the president. retired lieutenant colonel tony schaefer, a senior fellow at the london center for policy research, joins me now. what do you mean by that? >> i think very clearly, the leadership is now in charge for the problem is this. you have a lot of folks who are either career members of the intelligence community who are skeptical of the current situation or who were at one point political appointees who borrowed themselves into the infrastructure who are now career intelligence officers. a perfect example of this, would you all know about, not for the intelligence community, lois lerner. an appointee under the clinton administration who transition into career status. that is what we are seeing. i think you are seeing people who are embedded, deep, within the administration, who were loyal to other presidents, who now, judging for themselves what they should and should not do regarding intelligence. the same mentality where you have seen people leaking, the same mentality you see people holding back information. as much as i do believe mike pompeo is giving the president all the information that he knows about, i am sure that the other agencies were mr. trump's people are in charge are doing that, people below them may not be. that is why you need to look at it. >> martha: that is got to outrage mike pompeo. >> i am certain that mike is completely outraged by that for any number of reasons. let's remember that he's only been up there a few weeks. it will take some time. you cannot simply remove people without cost. you have to do some investigations. this is the bottom line, president trump is correct about this. he is owed the bus intelligence all the time. what we have seen over the past eight years as a manipulation of the intelligence community, much of that manipulation was happening because of like-minded individuals to jim clapper, to the former director of cia john brennan. those people hired people like themselves. as much as jim clapper can say, you need to protect the professionals, some of those professionals were selected because of their political reliability, not because of the professional ethics. >> martha: bread and roses on my list of people that you think of the senior level to be the people involved in this. >> no doubt. this is where i think, i will save us on the record, i think the previous administration with the ben rhodes later tripwires pray they put things out there for things to go off like booby traps. i think that mike flynn was planned by the by the former administration for a long time. remember, they had the anonymous links to nbc saying that intelligence officials saw the transcripts. i don't believe that there is anything of those transcripts that was illegal or telling. it was the implication. i have a secret and that secret is bad. those are have to be a handful of individuals, john brennan, jim clapper, ben rhodes. >> martha: what is their main motivation? >> two things. first off, disrupt the incoming trump administration. that is what i have seen the left doing great i think they are committed to that. secondly, president obama by his own tweets has telegraphed the fact that he will not be on the sidelines. he is encouraging the protests. why would he have not been encouraging this behavior? >> martha: what is the president need to do to mend fences were necessary. as a necessary for him to do that? >> two things. the men and women that do the hard work of intelligence collection are doing it every day. they are completely apolitical. they are on the lines every day doing the hard work, special operations intelligence. what he needs to do is do a housecleaning of those middle level to senior level managers. he has gotten rid of all of the political appointees that aren't good. you have to go a layer below that to take them out. you have to replace those individuals, mid-level managers, who sought political benefit by getting close to those political appointees. they got to go because their loyalty is not of the american people, not with the constitution, the previous administration. >> martha: mike pompeo has got his work cut out for him. thank you very much. good to see you. here now with response to all of that from the white house, doris epstein, special assistant to the president. >> great to be here. >> martha: what do you think about what tony had to say? >> it is unquestionably an issue. the unelected bureaucrats are leaking information that is sensitive, confidential, classified. a huge threat to the national security and our democracy. >> martha: in terms of the president's work today at the news conference, pointing fingers at intel, pointing fingers at congress, all across the board, how do you think that went? it depends on where you look. you are getting a ton of very different responses out there. >> i had the great honor of being in the room and i will tell you, that press conference was a great way to relate to the american people pray that is exactly what donald trump did. he is able to speak to the american people like no leader can or a leader has since ronald reagan prayed this president as authentic way that is exactly what you saw. there was criticism come of course there was, is there deserves to be of the left-wing media. all of those leakers who are in danger in our country, also, some light moments, the public and the american public very much enjoyed. that was vintage donald trump at his very best. important, specific, a great press conference. to be when you just heard colonel shaver say that he thins you have to clean house at le down, third level down, in se areas, and dental agency. is that going to happen? >> what we need is for the senate to confirm some two spray that has to happen. then, cia chief mike pompeo how to evaluate what is going on. i will leave it to the specialist to our great choices donald j. trump. we cannot have americans be put in danger by leakers. anyone within the administration and anywhere in the government. it does nothing but worse in the future of america, nothing but endanger this country. there is no benefit. it is really sad and truly disgusting. >> martha: boris, fox is now confirmed that vice admirable robert harward is now not going to be replacing mike flynn as the head of the national security council. why is that? >> there are a lot of good, strong candidates out there for the president will make the right choice, as he always has. >> martha: what happened with robert harward? ed look like -- they said he was going to be in place by the end of the week, boris. what happened? >> i am not sure -- >> martha: the white house said they believed he would be in place by the end of this week. >> what i would say is he has strong choices, good options, he will remain a very strong candidate and a strong person to lead the nsa. >> martha: the other people who are in place and where they are under mike flynn, that will they be staying? >> that is again up to the president. we all serve the president. >> martha: all right. stephen fienberg, will he be involved in a process of vetting who is handling these and intelligence agencies? >> he is evaluating options. the key is to make sure the intelligence community is united in securing america. all those ulterior motives did not come into play. this president is looking at his options, for now, we need the senate to confirm senator coats, and coming head of the dni for him to head up that very important entity of the federal government. the democrats in a cenotaph to stop being obstructionist. the american people elected donald trump, vice president pence. the senate should allow those people. >> martha: very quickly, general pretorius, is he back in the mix? >> [laughs] i'm not going to talk about those things. really, good strong candidates for the president will make an announcement. i will tell you that the president works day and day out to make sure this country is safe and secure. >> martha: boris, thank you for taking our questions. good to see her. boris epshteyn. protests breaking out across the country today in support of illegal immigrants. karl rove is here on those protesting the removal of violent illegals, which is the top tier of what the plan is, how they are hurting the greater cause in his mind. plus, violence in chicago has claimed the lives of these three young, innocent children. mike tobin hits the streets of chicago today to go face-to-face with some of the most violent gang members in that area. a report you cannot mess. finally, did you hear about president trump's presser today? did you miss it at work? we will play the highlights for you because i assure you, sit down with your cup of coffee or glass of wine and get ready to go. chris stirewalt, charles hurt, julie roginsky, debate when we come back. >> president trump: i won with news conferences and speeches. i didn't listen with people listening to people. i'm having a good time. tomorrow, they will say donald trump -- tech: at safelite, we know how busy your life can be. mom: oh no... tech: this mom didn't have time to worry about a cracked windshield. so she scheduled at safelite.com and with safelite's exclusive "on my way text" she knew exactly when i'd be there, so she didn't miss a single shot. i replaced her windshield giving her more time for what matters most. tech: how'd ya do? player: we won! tech: nice! that's another safelite advantage. mom: thank you so much! (team sing) safelite repair, safelite replace. >> president trump: the prince has become so dishonest that if we don't talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the american people. this administration is running like a fine tuned machine, despite the fact that i can't get my cabinet approved. the leaks are real. you are the one that wrote about them and reported to them. the leaks are real. you know what they say, you saw it. the leaks are absolutely real. the news is fake. because so much of the news is fake. >> just for the record, we don't hate you, i don't hate you. >> president trump: asked jeff a sucker how he got his job. >> the questions that are taking place so far -- >> president trump: you do have other people. i won with news conferences and probably speeches. i certainly didn't win by people listening to you people, that is for sure. but i am having a good time. tomorrow, they will say, donald trump rants and raves at the press. i am not ranting and raving, i'm just telling you, you are dishonest people. but i am not ranting and raving. i love this. i'm having a good time doing it. should i let them have a little bit more? peter, should i let them have a little bit -- a sit down. sit down. we'll get it. >> just because of the attack on fake news into attacking our network, i want to ask you, sir -- >> president trump: i am changing it from fake news. very fake news. [laughter] go ahead. >> real news, mr. president. >> president trump: you are not related to our new... >> i am not related, sir. i do like the sound of secretary acosta. >> president trump: i look to that name and i said, is there any relationship? i checked it. i said, do me a favor and go back and check the family tree. i have done nothing for russia. hillary clinton gave them 20% of uranium. hillary clinton did that reset with the stupid plastic button, take a look. he looked at her like, what the hell is she doing, with that cheap plastic button. the greatest thing i could do is shoot that ship that is 30 miles off shore right out of the water. everybody in that country is going to say, oh, it is so great. it's not great. >> you mentioned the vessel, the spy vessel off the coast of united states -- >> president trump: not good for you it's because there was a ballistic missile test -- 's >> president trump: not good. >> a russian plane -- >> president trump: not good. i don't have to tell you what i'm going to do with north kore north korea. and i don't have to tell you what i'm going to do with iran. you know why? because they shouldn't know. >> thanks very much, mr. president. >> president trump: where are you from? >> bbc. >> president trump: there is another beauty. >> a good wine. impartial, free, and fair. >> president trump: sure. just like cnn, right? just so you understand, we have a totally divided country for eight years and long before that. and i am going to try, i will do everything within my power to fix that. i want to thank every buddy very much. >> martha: thank you very much. that was president donald trump commented on mike markey day 21 of his presidency. he said, you know what guys, we are going to have a news conference, and that is what we saw. today, joining me now, chris stirewalt, charles hurt, and fox news contributor, and julie roginsky, a fox news contributor. welcome all. good to have you here tonight. so, i'm sure you had your popcorn out this afternoon and enjoyed all 78 minutes or so of that. what did you think? >> i kept writing, then, rewrite, then, tear it up, then, right again. the truth is, donald trump, if it was his gut that told him to have a press conference, his gut was quite right. the only thing, the only thing, the only group of people in the world who are more obsessed with the press then donald trump is the press themselves. by going out there and pummeling, humiliating -- it was like pro wrestling smack down, cnn, bbc, he was right when he said, tomorrow they are going to say, "donald trump ranted and raved." he was writing their headlines for them. it got him off of a bunch of stories that was bad for his administration i got the press talking about what they like to talk about most, themselves. >> martha: charles, i think he has a two pronged approach to get back in touch with the people. i think he is tired of other people talking to him, for him. i think he said, i'm going to talk to myself and handle a price. i got the press i will talk to them. in a way, you could feel, as odd as it seems, he was slamming them, they were, in a weird way, trying to please him, i think, trying to warm up to him, trying to get a relationship going back and forth. part two will be the florida rally. the two thinks he is doing to reconnect. what do you think? >> these are the two things, donald trump was right, this is how he got elected, but by doing things like this. i thought a low point of the whole thing for the press was when jim acosta stood up and said, i don't hate you, we don't hate you. he looked pathetic. like he was trying to curry up to his captor. on a more serious point, though, i think that when you look back at the past eight or 16 years at white house press conferences, i quit counting at 20 plus questions. just gave up. i don't remember a president more open, willing to take questions, answer questions, and also, he went in there, martha, -- most presidents go and with a list of people they will choose from. in other words, a list of questions they want to take, a list of reporters they want to take approved questions for him. he went in there and took questions from everybody and anybody who loves the first amendment and loves the free press isn't thrilled by that. they should be. we have never seen anything like this in modern television. >> martha: julie, you are thrilled, right? [laughter] >> i didn't realize, february 16th as festive of us. it was airing of grievances, all of it. just surreal. i largely agree with the fact that he tried to get the press off of the horrible rush of stories that is not good for him. the horrible stories, the press does have a tendency to become self-involved and self obsessed. they will be talking about his treatment of them and vice versa. nevertheless, when the thrill of that dies down by tomorrow, and it will, we will be left with my president he was talking about how the holocaust would be devastating because he's gotten briefings. i have never gotten a breathing, i know the answer to that question. talking about how the leaks are real, the news is fake, it can be both. if you are leaking something that is fake, then, say so. it doesn't seem like what they are leaking is fake. so, those stories are still threats he will have to contend with. a very nice performance. if you step one new cycle come with potentially two. the president must know when the press has a dog, like a dog with a bone, when i have a scandal, they will run with it. there is a scanned up ruling with michael flynn on russia and they will run with it, no matter how crazy he gets a press conferences. >> martha: a scandal brewing with michael flynn and russia, he tried to diffuse today. he tried to say, i know you are seeing this big, scary nightmare, where we have this influence in this behind-the-scenes deal with russia to throw the election and all of these scheming and plans that are going on. he said, not happening. it didn't happen, not happening. did he get anywhere with that? >> i think he did something quite important. beyond the back and forth foolishness about the press in itself, the navelgazing, i think there was some real news in there. i think the news and there was that donald trump said something very important. some of his supporters and his detractors, a lot of her supporters want to believe there is a broad conspiracy theory inside, working inside the government to bring down trump. it is a soft coup, for the iran deal, against russia, donald trump expressed on multiple occasions confidence and his people in the intelligence community. he expressed confidence in the intelligence he was getting, he expressed confidence in his new cia director and he said, we are fixing it. it is working. i believe in a system that i believe in what is going on out there. that was a big deal for a guy who at times in his campaign had sounded like a conspiracy theorist or a crank. this was a guy that sounded like he had his hands on the reins and was dealing with real facts, not kooky stuff. >> martha: a couple of journal editorial today, charlie, dealt with getting back to basics. karl rove who we will talk to it a little bit, dan hendon jarreau pieces that said, you are in danger. you are getting things slung at you from all sides. the boat is leaking. you better turn it around. if you have to keep republicans on your side at this point and get some tax reform done, get obama carried on, get back to. >> it has been a terrible couple of weeks for him. the press has gotten their scalps out of the administration and that is a real setback, especially for a guy that prides himself on not giving up an inch. today, i would say that what he did today, he got back to talking about the issues, the issues that he won gone. that is a very, very positive thing. the other thing that i developed, at one point, when he leveled his finger at the press and said, you guys even got a lower rating than congress. the unstated bar but there is that congress is run entirely by republicans. it was a backhanded slap at republicans, as well. reminding republicans in congress that he is still top dog. they still have a lot of work to do to get back and get everything done. >> martha: the other thing he promised was the outreach to the inner cities, and awkward moment talking about the cbc, the congressional black congress brady said, why don't you set up a meeting to the reporter in ie room. julie, how did that go over with you and how do you think it went over with a larger audience? >> he had no idea what the cbc actually was. secondly, much like his complete lash out at orthodox jewish reporter who was asking a legitimate question about anti-semitism and went out of his way to say, we don't blame you for anti-semitism but there are incidences among jewish community centers all around the country that are getting bomb threats. the same way that april ryan, a very well-respected reporter, ask him about meetings with the congressional blackess, he lashed out, lashed out at the orthodox jewish reporter and said, essentially, that is an unfair question and i am the least anti-semitic and racist person of the world, which is course is not the question. the question was about anti-semitism directed at jewish community centers, the same way the question to april ryan was about, are you going to reach out to the cbc. he started talking about something that became very clear showed a complete ignorance as to what the cbc actually was. >> martha: we don't know that for sure. >> it seemed to me. >> martha: we got to go. thank you very much, you guys. great to see you tonight. as we discussed, trump's relationship with the press under a new light after this whirlwind news conference today. how does this compare to his predecessor? the kinds of questions that were given to president obama? we will take you down a trip on memory lane and show you the softballs lobbed at president obama his first year in office. plus, as i.c.e. rates continue across country, we will show you how democrats are attempting to spin the reality of who is being removed. we will show you the facts on this story as they exist, when karl rove joins us next. >> they make it too hard on the muslims to come here legally. $7,000 to get a green card. we should make it easier on them. then, they wouldn't have to come in here ♪ when you have digestive sensitivities, life can feel like a never ending search for food that won't cause bloating, gas, or inner turmoil. try pronourish. a delicious nutritional drink that makes a great mini meal or snack that has protein and fiber. and pronourish has no gluten or high fructose corn syrup. and is low in fodmap ingredients that can trigger digestive sensitivities. the search is over. pronourish. nutrition you can feel good about. >> martha: strong reaction today to president trump's immigration track, crackdown on noncriminal illegal spray demonstrations and boy boycotts all part of the "day without immigrants. president trump announced that he will unveil a new executive order on immigration, one with "hearts for people brought here as children and shielded from the obama administration." >> on the daca program for immigration, what is your plan? >> president trump: we will show great heart. daca is a very, very difficult subject, for me. to me, it is one of the most difficult subjects. you have these incredible kids, it's a very, very tough subject. we have to deal with daca with heart. it is a very difficult thing for me. because i love these kids. >> martha: house democrats held a press conference of their own today and did not seem to take the president's words into account as they claim that every undocumented immigrant could be deported under the new administration. >> it was hard to not leave that meeting and believe that the trump administration is going to target as many immigrants as possible. >> martha: karl rove, fox news political contributor, good evening. good to have you here tonight. >> thanks. >> martha: what do you think? >> look, i am an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. but i don't think that advocates of immigration reform do the cause and a good-bye and making no distinction by when we are talking about these i.c.e. enforcement actions and the broader illegal immigrant population. i didn't seen joaquin castro, the texas congressman, i didn't see him protesting would president obama had similar roundups as part of an annual effort to try and round up some number number of violent illegals who were here in the united states and who had been identified. we ought to come as a society, and courage that, discourage it. we should applaud it, not condemn it. who thinks that these violent criminals, who have committed crimes against persons and property, releasing them back into the communities, who think that makes cities more safe or the immigrant community is more safe, that have these violent predators among them? we ought to applaud the government and their emphasis of this president has had. frankly, it is an increase of the emphasis that has predecessor had, which was itself followed his predecessor. the american presidents have had this emphasis for a while. this president said, i want an even more focused effort, broader effort, to find these violent criminals and get them not only off our streets, but out of country. >> martha: any time there is someone taken into custody thatt is a borderline issue, they may or may not be in a gang, may or may not -- it is getting exploited to a large degree. we have played a sound bites from president obama, president clinton, all calling for stronger borders for removing illegal aliens. the numbers that president trump is doing it under our lower effect on the numbers that were under president obama pray this is a political football, karl. they don't, not exactly telling the truth about the numbers and who is being asked to leave is beneficial to one side. >> i don't mean to pick on castro, congressman castro, who was shown footage early, here's a man who sent them president trump should be impeached if he defies the court order that stopped at the visa band. but this is a guy, also, congressman castro, who supports sanctuary cities, which they can but we will not live up to our obligation of the federal law to notify federal i.c.e. officials when we have violent criminals, alien criminals in our custody, and about ready to be released. on the one hand, he wants to impeach president trump if president trump does something he has no intention whatsoever of doing, yet, he is a leader of the movement that says, let us defy federal law that says when these violent illegals are about ready to be let out of our local jails, we need to tell the feds about it. >> martha: before i let you go, you wrote a piece "the wall street journal" today. you brought it before the news conference encouraging the president to get down to business, with things like tax reform and jobs, get a little more focused. what'd you think about the news conference? >> i don't think it got there. i think it was a great television, one hour 17 minutes of rock him, soccer him. sometimes, over the top. the poor julie roginsky talking about the orthodox jewish reporter, who got up, defended the president, then come with her roommate softball, which is, what do you think about these attacks on synagogues? rather than condemning it and saying, we will look into it, he went after the reporter for asking him an unfair question. a very fair question. my concern is, why i wrote the column, two parts, one stuck up over the democrats. i will talk about that tonight, but they are living in la la land. the challenge for president trump is, when you become president, you have a chance to establish a narrative, an arc of what your presidency is going to be about. people voted for him because they wanted in economy stronger, paychecks bigger, and more jobs. that message has been lost. he is doing a lot of good things. the executive order on obamacare, promising to repeal and replace, the house republicans grappling with tax reform and moving obamacare measures, wrangling over that. he got rid of a lot of regulations on his own. the house and senate republicans are sending bill after bill after bill getting rid of obama red tape. yet, we are losing all of that. today, he had a great announcement. alex acosta, his new designee for secretary of labor, is a terrific human being. one of the longest serving u.s. attorneys in history -- an accomplished u.s. attorney in the southern district of florida, which is a tough place to be. respected by law enforcement. he served in the justice department, on the national labor relations board. this man is terrific. he will help turn the department of labor into what it ought to be coming out something from the unions but for the working people. >> martha: thank you, karl. good to see you. have new questions tonight over the trump administration's relationship with the press. did president obama face the same scrutiny?

>> i always carry one. this man said he became active with the black disciples at age. >> no one formerly joins a gang, the young man i started with just started hanging around gangs mostly for protection going to school. they got their first gun as preteens, usually a gift. >> i looked at it like i was love simple fact that they wanted to see me protected, they wanted to protect my life. >> gunfire linked to gangs as part of every day on the south and west side. just this week, three children were killed by stray bullets. the police superintendent continues to cry out for tougher sentencing. >> we need to create a culture of accountability of picking up a gun and using it. enough is enough. >> illinois governor proposes adding state troopers, the president tweets about sending in the feds. the guys on the street to say nothing will stop the gunfire. >> if i am pushing this neighborhood, putting food on my table, and food in my kid's mouth and a roof over my head. i'm not going to put it down. >> the young man i met with the say they are used to be king pens who control the big gangs, like the advice lords, the gangster disciples. the government like that might lock them up right in the power vacuum left behind, they gang subdivided into cliques, and the clicks will go to war with another click from the same gang. that is why we saw a bad situation melts down into this blood soaked chaos. martha. >> martha: thank you very much for joining us now, it juan williams, cohost of "the five." kevin jackson. both are fox news contributors. gentlemen, thank you for being here. we have watched the situation escalated in chicago and every weekend, it feels, we add up the numbers, juan. you look at the pictures of those three little kids and he think about that young man who we just heard saying that he had to do this, to put food on his table for his children. you just think, these children will never be home for a meal again. >> right, it doesn't make much sense. it is a totally dysfunctional situation. evidence, i think, of two specific neighborhoods, as you heard, just a moment ago, and chicago, where this kind of violence is now becoming the norm and it has resulted in this horrific carnage. hats off to president trump for paying attention to it. for the thing is, it is not representative of what is going on in black communities around the country. it is a specific problem. i think it needs special attention pray that as or president trump might be able to help. he might send more prosecutors. i don't think additional federal troops or state troopers or anything like that is going to help. >> martha: the thing you just touched on, this notion that ed is an indictment on all inner cities and bad people -- i heard earlier today, elijah cummings thinking that president trump is painting a poor picture of what is going on and inner cities. i couldn't help but then, everybody, the good neighborhoods where everybody is fine, nobody is concerned about that. we are very concerned, though, about what is happening in these inner cities. you can't brush it away and say, it is not all like that, so, we shouldn't be painting this picture of american carnage, as you mentioned. go ahead, kevin. >> i want to jump in here. juan said something profound. it is pervasive. it is not just in chicago. it may not be as bad in baltimore. it made no mac may not be as ban detroit. remember when detroit was the poster child? it still is. chicago has become far worse. the other thing is, donald trump is trying to address it. what juan said without saying is, barack obama didn't. the comment hi here is his buddy, rahm emanuel, has been ra democrat mayor before that. we have been washing must develop every single weekend we deal with this violence. that young man says something very interesting. the way he felt loveless when somebody gave him a firearm. he didn't feel love because he had a dad, which is what the system is lacking. nobody is talking about the lack of the fathers in these neighborhoods. he fell in love getting a gun. he should feel love getting a hug from his father. and the problem there is rahm emanuel and people like juan not caring about that. that is the real issue. >> in fact, i have written books about it. i think it is part of the essential dysfunction, family breakdown. it to my part, i think it is a tragedy. let me go back to if you were saying earlier. i don't think this is representative of the whole black community. martha picked up on this. >> neither do i. >> martha: i don't think anybody does. >> i don't think that. i think that's what you were saying was wrong of what the congressman said. i think most black communities, most cities are not represented by what is happening here in the poor black communities. >> martha: on us trying to characterize all black communities as being like this one. >> good. >> what happens, juan, we get into these extremes, we talk about everybody -- the majority of black community's are doing great. they are doing fantastic. the problem is, we can't ignore that these kids are being killed every single day. >> trump can do something, he can get prosecutors, for my heart, do something about schools. these promises with betsy devos to be aggressive on school choice. that's the agenda. >> martha: we will talk more about it. thank you so much, gentlemen. it's coming up next, we showed you some of the highlights from mr. trump suppressor earlier and we will show you some of the greatest moments from the chummy relationship president obama had during his presidency. very, very different situation. of course, they are very different men. dana loesch is here, robert zimmerman is here. we will take it on. >> what has surprised you the most about this office, and chanted you the most about serving in this office? ... ... ... >> martha: president trump continuing his combative relationship of the press earlier today. they seemed pretty happy to play along. >> aren't you concerned that you are undermining the people's faith in the first amendment, the freedom of the press, when you say you don't like fake news. >> martha: just one example from a contentious day in the east room, one that looked nothing like scenes from mr. obama's first years in office. watch this. >> on senator specter's switch to the democratic party, you said you were thrilled. >> during this first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, and chanted you the most about serving in this office? >> thank you, mr. president. you racked up a lot of wins in the last few weeks. are you ready to call yourself the comeback kid? >> martha: joining me now, dana loesch, the host of "dana" and robert moran, democratic strategists. robert, let me give you the first crack. >> let's be clear. you are picking two questions out of a press conference and ignoring the fact that president obama was just tailored over everything from the somali pirates radiated to the automotive bailout to the debate over the stimulus package. bill clinton was eviscerated by the passover don't ask don't tell, the economic passage, including the waco attack by the fbi. that had very tragic consequences. let's be clear. the issue is not about the media. the issue is about who is serving as president. when donald trump was called out by republican leaders in congress for spreading lies, when he tries to cover up his national security advisor, not disclosing important information to his own vice president, then, president trump keeps it from the american people, that is the issue. >> martha: the scene in "saturday night live," when they gave him a pillow -- >> that was in my campaign. >> martha: the feeling is that there was a much warmer relationship then and there is now. i am not sure that it is inaccurate as it was portrayed. dana, what do you think? >> i think you are absolutely right. let's not forget that the obama administration was incredibly opaque. the trump administration, regardless of what people think about how he conducts a press conference, has been the most transparent presidential administration period. even opening up skype seats for crying out loud, being accessible on twitter. we didn't see that from the obama administration, weapon eyes department to go after the press. or james rosen or "the associated press." it could go on and on prieto hillary clinton, who literally herded reporters in a row. i know you remember those photos, when they would go with her to ask your questions on any kind of public event. >> how does that excuse donald trump lying to the media and lying to our country about the fact that his own national security advisor was in repeated conversations with the russian ambassador? >> lying about what? >> lying that has no national security advisor wasn't conference with the washington -- speaker that was cleared by the fbi. >> let's be clear, it was the media that broke those stories, dana. as long as president trump -- >> he was cleared by the fbi. >> dana, you are dodging the issue. >> martha: he was cleared by the fbi. >> that's not the point. >> here is the point. excuse me, dana -- that is on the plane. he lied to the american people, which is even as bad. as long as president trump wants to turn to pat robertson cbc as his source for news, remember pat robertson said, feminism causes women to -- is august donald trump -- >> martha: i still don't know what law you are talking about. >> let me answer the question. donald trump said emphatically that his own national security advisor -- >> martha: we got to go. today was the day that president trump wanted to get back on track, one of the events meant to do that with the signing of a bell undoing obama regulations on coal. a unique moment that we stop playing out in the white house. a short highlight is right here. >> president trump: i want to thank the incredible coal miners who are with us today. i think we can thank them for, right? you folks have put up with a lot. we are going to fight for also low energy prices for all americans. >> martha: good night, everybody. o'reilly is coming up next. ♪ ♪ >> tom: hello and welcome to "red eye," my name is tom shillue. let's check in with tvs andy levy at the "red eye" tease deck. >> andy: donald trump throws an entire press conference without picking a fight with that media. ikeda. plus, a young woman in england as of that with the lottery because she's in her life has been awful ever since she won. finally, a plus size playboy model so she when she strips down and rolls around in the sand, she says she's not doing it for men. we'll talk to men who i'm guessing we'll say they don't care.
