i said aren't you embarrassed? do you owe the president an apology? he said no, absolutely not, that he had done the american people a great public service, that he had done the president a great public service by having the president finally release this. unapologetic. he said he doesn't make things up, but we know from checking the facts a lot of what he has said about this controversy does not hold up to the fact checking. so if he's not making stuff up, people have been giving him bogus information. and he -- no apologies at all. he says he wants to move on to other issues. he's insisting that he's not the one that brings this up, that we in the media bring it up. but he called the news conference last week in florida. he has scheduled himself and is very eager to come on all these programs. it is what it is, i guess is the best way to say it. but if you're expecting an apology from donald trump, you're not going to get it. >> and ed, i mean, donald trump is taking credit for pushing the president to put this thing out there now. does the white house admit donald trump was behind this? >> reporter: you know, they insist they had no idea donald trump was even going to be in new hampshire today, so that's not why they came out this
