I think the problem weve got is that were talking about bogus stories, like the one in the New York Times<\/a> that weve had Constant Contact<\/a> with russian officials. The next day, the wall street journal had a story that the Intel Community<\/a> was not giving the president a full intelligence briefing. Both stories grossly inaccurate. Overstated, overblown, so its garbage. So we spend 48 hours on bogus stories. And the American People<\/a> suffer. So i do think its a problem and i think that the media needs to, in some cases, not every case, john, but in some cases really needs to get its act together. The enemy . The theory is the press is supposed to be a free form of information to speak to the American People<\/a>. I think it ought to be accurate, and i think weve gotten to a place, john, where the media is willing to run with unnamed soushs sources, false, leaked documents to create stories. We deal with one after the next. I think the media should stop with this unnamed source stuff, put names on a piece of paper, and print it. If people arent willing to put their name next to a quote, the quote shouldnt be listed, period. What youre describing is something that in all the presidencies ive covered is a familiar complaint from white houses going back a long time. And no Previous White House<\/a> has called the press the enemy. I think in our case, we have a total feeding frenzy and something thats gotten so out of control. When you look at the president s accomplishments, lets talk about the fact that we pulled out of tpp, we did a deregulation executive order that takes two regulations for every one thats been put in place. We nominated neil gorsuch. We signed a bill in saving coal mining jobs. Weve met with the uk, canada, israel. Weve done so many things that are noteworthy and an accomplishment one day after the next. The story line should not be about bogus russian spy stories, but that this president has accomplished more in the first 30 days of this presidency than people can possibly remember in a very long time. Its a story of accomplishment. And thats not what were talking about. Were talking about the declaring that the press is the enemy. I just wanted to ask you this. In the past when the president was a candidate and he targeted people, say protesters at a rally, some people found that an opportunity to take license and target those people. As a spokesman for the white house here with us today, what would you say to anybody who might take license with the idea when the president says the press is the enemy, and act on that declaration by the president . Well, i dont know what you mean by act on. We would certainly never condone violence, but we certainly condone critical thought. If americans put critical thought, which i think they will, into what theyre reading into these newspapers and whats being accomplished by the Trump Administration<\/a>, they would realize that the press in many cases has not been doing their job in reporting the truth. And the truth is, day after day after day, we have good stories to tell, great accomplishments. Business is coming back. The stock market is at an alltime high. Companies like gm, ford, chrysler, intel, all across this country are adding jobs by the thousands. Its because President Trump<\/a> is doing the things every day to give confidence to Business Owners<\/a> and workers across america that things are getting done positively. Instead, were talking about stupidity and intelligence reporting that is based on facts thats not coming out of the actual heads of these intelligence agencies, and were sitting here talking about it. And its a shame and it needs to end. Let me ask you about something john mccain, senator john mccain said in front of a group of european leaders at the munich security conference. He said that the audience would be alarmed by the growing inability and even unwillingness to separate truth from lies. Your response to that criticism of the administration . Well, i think its a good criticism of the media. You know, its very difficult to separate the truth from the lies. Mr. Priebus, he wasnt i get it, john. I understand the question. Im just asking you to do the same thing in regard to the media and what weve been dealing with lately in responding to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of cable news with one kyron after the next of a lie from another source that doesnt want to name a Single Person<\/a> in these bogus stories. And so we would rather talk about the truth and whats happening instead of these bogus stories. And go through the litany of things that weve accomplished, the lobbying ban, hiring freeze, deregulation, protecting americans from terrorists i understand, mr. Priebus, but if we could get back to the question from senator mccain of arizona, who made that claim about truth from the white house. What is your response to that . My response is that theres i dont know what hes referring to. I mean, i didnt see his statement. But he would be wrong in regard to that statement and the white house and President Trump<\/a>. The fact of the matter is, the level of accomplishment that hes put forward so far in the first 30 days has been remarkable, and ive already gone through the litany with you. You have. Let me ask you about that litany. In conversations ive had with members in the administration, and also republicans on the hill, they have said that while theyre on your team, theyre on your side, they recognize all those accomplishments you talk about, that the when the president says the white house is a fine tuned machine, and when Steven Miller<\/a> in the white house says its an understatement youre in control, what they worry about is, not everything is in control. And theres such an effort to show how things are in control, there may be a blind spot at the white house that need to be fixed. For those people worried about the blind spot, the things that need to be fixed, what is your words to them . First of all, there you go again. Youre talking about some people, those people, them, they. Who are these people, john . Youve not heard any [ overlapping speakers ] this is what you guys do. Lets put it this way, in conversations you have with say Speaker Paul Ryan<\/a> and lots of other leaders on the hill, when they talk to you, do they express no concern that things at the white house are maybe a little ragged on certain issues . Is it constant praise that you get on the hill . What we hear from people on the hill is the same thing im telling you. The media is obsessed with a lot of false, hollow stories without sourcing that we have to track down and deal with. To watch the full interview, go to cbsnews. Com and click on face the nation.

Debates the balance between immigration and to National Security<\/a>, our neighbors to the north are taking more steps to welcome families fleeing from war. Martha teichner introduces us to a man who is changing hundreds of lives in a story for sunday morning. Passengers, please proceed immediately to boarding. Reporter by the time the istanbul toronto flight landed, jim estel had been standing around with his sign for hours. All he knew about the syrian brother and sister he was meeting, at 3 00 in the morning, was their names. Ahmed and romaf. How are you . Im ahmed. This is my sister. Good to meet you. Reporter all they knew about him is that somehow this jim estel had brought them to canada. Even in a country eager to welcome Syrian Refugees<\/a>, hes upped the ante. A prominent canadian entrepreneur and businessman, he put up his ow money, 1. 5 million canadian dollars, 1. 1 million u. S. , to resettle 58 syrian families. 250 people at a Small University<\/a> city an hour west of toronto. Why . Because he was haunted by those pictures on television of syrian cities reduced to rubble. And Syrian People<\/a> dying as they tried to escape to someplace else. You dont want to grow old and say you stood by and did nothing. And its the right thing to do. Reporter 68 of canadians support their governments acceptance of Syrian Refugees<\/a>. In contrast, 54 of American Voters<\/a> think the United States<\/a> has no responsibility to take syrians. The fundamental argument against Syrian Refugees<\/a> in the United States<\/a> is the fear of terrorism. Are you afraid . I would be wrong to say that there isnt some fear, but statistically, the fear is completely unfounded. I believe actually the best way to breed world citizens is to bring them into our community and give them hope. Life is so hard here in syria. Reporter the emails are heart wrenching. I get ten a day, and ive gotten well over a thousand. Some of them are three pages long with horror stories. Help, help, please help, my life in real danger. Please help. Reporter syrians contact him directly. Because in canada, individuals can sponsor refugees, if they agree to fully support them for a year. Since november 2015, canada has admitted 40,000 syrians. 16,000 of those privately sponsored. All were vetted by the canadian government. A process that typically takes six to nine months. The hard part is decides who to choose. Its actually a terrible process. Its awful. We try to pick people who we think will settle well, being able to support themselves. So the ideal refugee situation would be a family with children . Yeah. Mom and dad with children and i also like extended families. Reporter each family is assigned an arabic speaking mentor. And at least three English Speaking<\/a> mentors, like dan, from among the 800 volunteers estel has recruited to help the refugees adjust. Who gets more out of this experience . I do. Hes like older brother for me. And older brother . Yeah. Reporter estel likes to say he runs his Refugee Program<\/a> like a business. In fact, he puts some of the new arrivals, like ahmed, to work temporarily at danby, the appliance Manufacturing Company<\/a> he runs. He even gives them time during the workday to attend english classes at the factory. I said thank you what you are doing for us, but i need to work. I need to eat from my hand. I dont want to give me fish every day. I need to fish. Reporter dont give me the fish, i need to do the fishing. Yeah. Reporter ahmed and his wife rula arrived in november. From the city of homs, they are owned a clothing factory. Destroyed now. This was their neighborhood. This their apartment. They spent nearly three years in lebanon, living in one room with their two sons. One son is still stuck there. See that sign . The exciting new retailer in this mall is going to be ahmed. I think this is dream. Reporter a dream come true thanks to the backing of jim estel, who believes ahmed and his family can and should be running a business again. Youre wearing a little canadian flag on your sweater. Why . Because i love this country. Already . Yeah. I promise my god and myself im going to be very good to this country here. She protect me, i protect her. Reporter and then theres fira muhammad. If being sponsored by jim estel wasnt good enough, things got better for him when he was told his family, wife ala, and daughter lillian, could live in this comfortable apartment free until the end of june. When did you arrive, what day . 12122016. A day youll never forget . The golden number. A golden number. Reporter they were handed this notebook. Emergency, fire, police. Reporter a comprehensive directory of useful information. Even pictures of mentors. His name, his mobile number, emails. Reporter they couldnt believe it when they found their refrigerator filled with syrian food. Were you surprised by the welcome, the friendliness . Yes. Amazing. Everywhere you go, you feel you are welcome in canada. Reporter firas was an oil geologist in syria, ala a teacher. Their damascus home in ruins. The war drove them first to the oil fields of iraq, then after isis attacks, to turkey. Lillian is speaking mostly english now. Just over two months after their long flight from istanbul, this syrian family feels safe and grateful and canadian. Just two or three days ago, i got a salary and paid my first tax. So i am canadian. Reporter they decided to keep their welcome sign. I love you so much, thats why i bought six of you for when you stretch out.

The spy drama often reflects Current Events<\/a> while touching on events like terrorism and National Security<\/a>. Alex wagner got a behind the scenes look at season six during a shoot here in new york city. Reporter new york city, how has it been . The dreamiest. Reporter after spending the last few seasons abroad, the spy thriller homeland is refocusing on well, the homeland. Claire danes has left the cia for a nonprofit legal aid center. She was pretty damaged by what was asked of her, and grew to be calloused and cynical and realized that she needed to take a different tact. So shes done that. Carrie, thank you for coming. Of course. Reporter carrie is also secretly advising the president elect. Reach out to president morris and make sure he knows youre unconvinced. Reporter a major new character playing the role of disrupter. We decided that our president elect would be female. I will not have my agenda mischaracterized and undermined before i even take office. But she is a composite of the three major personalities of this last election cycle. So shes a little rogue. Problem is not so much destroying isis, madame president. Madame president elect. Reporter also working with the incoming president in an official capacity is her longtime mentor, saul barenson, a top deputy at the cia. Mandy, how is saul doing this season . Hes doing well. Hes good lord. Theres nothing i can tell you without getting in trouble. Reporter they understand the stakes for the intelligence community, on screen and in real life. In your experience, you guys interface a lot with the actual intelligence gathering agencies in washington. How has that changed your perception of who these people are who are fighting this war on terror . Well, i meet them, i have dinner with them, i spend hours talking with them. I email them, i have a relationship with them. They are concerned beyond imagination. Both in the fictional world and in the real world. Reporter there is a discussion happening in hollywood about the responsibility of the media in portraying muslims. Yes. Reporter where do you think on that in terms of this shows responsibility . I sit right in the middle of it. Im part of the responsibility. I hope to be part of the cure and im without a doubt part of the problem. So we have to work very hard, and we do, at attending to the muslim, islamic communitys concerns about how they are portrayed in the media, in the world, and every area imaginable. We are one of those portrayers. And we must up our game in that area, and we are. This is it . This is it. Reporter carries most lasting relationship has been with saul. Her romantic entanglements have not ended well. For nicholas brody, for ian inbrahim and for peter quinn. Its very dangerous to date carrie. You will most likely end up in a morgue. Shes a bit of a black widow. Maybe it was worth it . People really want to see quinn and carrie. They want the little heart over the happy ending. Yeah, thats not the homelandian way. You saved me. Yes. I always wish for a little domestic bliss. A little easy going happiness for my girl, carrie. Because hes earned it. She deserves a reprieve. Amen. Yeah. Homeland airs sunday nights on showtime, a division of cbs. Well be right finally this morning, girl scout cookie season is upon us. Scouts across the country are again competing to sell the most boxes. Well, this year, a new jersey girl included some bitter truth in her cookie offers, which turned out to be a really sweet deal. Steve hartman met her on the road. Reporter of all the things a little girl can aspire to be, 11yearold charlotte in new jersey says the most important of these is to be truthful. Yes. Its like a core feeling. Reporter why so important to you . Because if youre not honest, then what are you . Reporter charlotte says the first eight words of the girl scout law are, i will do my best to be honest. So when it came time to peddle her Girl Scout Cookies<\/a> this year, she decided to tell her customers the whole truth. In this letter to one customer that went viral on the internet, she wrote, the Girl Scout Organization<\/a> can sometimes use false advertisement. She then graded the cookies. She gave the dosidos a five for its unoriginal bland flavor, saving most of her venom for the toffeetastic. She gave it a one for being a bleak, flavorless, gluten free ba wasteland. Its as flavorless as dirt, she wrote. My sister and i threw out the box. We tried dunking it in sea, tried dunking it in hot chocolate and its just gross. Would you like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies<\/a> . Reporter as you might expect brutal honestly can have a dramatic impact on sales. She was hoping to sell 300 boxes this year. But she got nowhere near that. No why near. Thats you . Thats all me. Reporter when we visited last week, she had told more than 23,000 boxes. A girl scout record. How do you explain this . Truth in advertising. Reporter apparently honesty such an abparticipation, the truth so sadly missed, that when all these people read her letter, they felt compelled to support her. I sold thousands of thin mints and samoas. Reporter have you sold any toffeetactics . To my grandmother. Just one box. Then she gave them to her friend who who has a dog . No, who has a gluten allergy. Reporter okay. So theres your hope, america. Even in the world of fake news and alternative facts, honesty can, and will, prevail.
