White House press secretary Sean Spicer debates NBC's Kristen Welker about what to call President Trump's executive action temporarily blocking travel and refugees from seven middle eastern countries. Welker argues that Trump himself referred to it as a ban in a tweet yesterday.



"He's using the words that the media is using," Spicer said about Trump's use of the word 'ban.'



"It is not a ban. It is extreme vetting... I am not confused. I think that the words being used to describe it are derived from what the media is calling this."



"There is clearly some confusion," he said to NBC's Welker. "Your network was one of the people, who just hours ago, told people that Gen. Kelly was unaware of what was going on, and then moments later, he gets on air saying how many times he's been breifed. With all due respect, you have been part of the confusion. You have helped cause this. Despite claims whatever, you claim you have sources... And yet, you--"



"There was a New York Times report that was cited," Welker began...



"Oh, I apologize," Spicer quipped. "NBC's News's reporting has been based on the New York Times false reporting. How could it be accurate reporting?"



"The report in the times said he [Gen. Kelly] was unaware of the ban," Spicer said.
