Reforms, adding into this mix, of course, this is now a Midterm Election years year. Things are not easy in an Election Year so that adds into this complicated agenda they have. Up here on the hill tomorrow white house aides will be meeting with top congressional leadership trying to work towards that Government Potential Shutdown Showdown that we might have in a couple weeks and this weekend, speaker of the house, paul ryan, and Mitch Mcconnell, will be heading to camp david to meet with the president about the legislative agenda ahead. Also changes in the senate. Al franken, minnesota senator, Stepping Down Today and then all eyes on utahs republican orrin hatch, will he run for an eighth term . What are we expecting . Thats right. This is frankens last official day. Tomorrow his replacement, tina smith, will be signed in. He steps down amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. That officially ends his term here in congress today. Of course utahs orrin hatch, this is a big question mark,
keeping the government funded is top of mind. After that it does get tricky. When it comes to daca, the other thing that is overhanging this entire thing, other than this deadline, is the 2018 midterms. Immigration has sank Republican Leaders in the past. What this deal will say is something that we just dont know yet because the house and the senate arent really communicating as well as they could be. Tthe daily beast had a report that Carlos Cabello a republican from the miami area, someone that, obviously, supports daca, didnt even know what jeff flake was talking to mcconnell about. They need the republicans need to get on the same page here before anything else can go forward. Kevin, as a republican strategist, you know, this is lets just not forget, the fact that the wall that the president is key manding money for from congress is the wall that he
kept saying mexico was going to pay for. Right. To jackies point, immigration is hard to attack a tackle any year. Its really hard in a midterm year. Are you going to get everything or comprehensive Immigration Reform . How do republicans thread the needle . On the politics you cant go into a 2018 election unless you have your base secured and locked down. Republicans are the thinking here is that this is an issue that does play to their base. It is a fight that they believe they want to have. I think there are a great number of risks with it, though. As you if you look at some of the Swing Districts around the country, these suburban areas are areas where daca is does have a highlevel of favorability. You turn off voters if you get into a very tough Immigration Issue battle up on capitol hill. A lot of the suburban voters want to see that. There are risks for democrats. While they locking in and to a fight with the president over an issue like immigration does animate their base, at the same time, there is a high level of support dealing with Border Security, known as the wall. That is one of the things those are the political dynamics that are going to drive this fight. I think whats going to happen eventually, poppy, this is not going to be very easy, its not going to happen quickly in the First Quarter. Its going to be an issue thats fought all the way until the last minute. The thing is you say, brian, ill have you address this, Border Security, no funding for Border Security, known as the wall, its not also known, because there are a number of democrats that will support Border Security but wont fund a physical wall here. You see democrats like dick durbin of illinois saying we have a lot of leverage here because of the budget me negotiations and the deadline that is looming that jackie pointed out. Do you think democrats have a lot of leverage because of that, brian . I agree they have a lot of leverage and not only that, i
think that they will actually start to face a lot of internal heat from progressive activists. If Democratic Leaders on capitol hill do not assert that leverage in the upcoming negotiations around the Spending Bill to keep the government open, remember, poppy, back last fall, you had a brief period where Republican Leaders were throwing their hands up because donald trump was circumventing them cutting deals with chuck and nancy as he called it. The infamous deal he struck with chuck and Nancy Pertained to a solution to daca and chuck and nancy sort of both held press conferences, sort of basking in the glow of having struck this deal with the president around the backs of paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell. The president went back on his word on that. And now weve had two temporary extensions of the Government Funding without democrats getting any relief for the daca kids who remain in limbo. The daca kids, the activists, are going around and Holding Democrats feet to the fire saying hold donald trump to his promise or we will hold you, the democrats, accountable. Just before christmas, you saw i think it was 18 or 20 democrats that voted with the republicans
to continue funding the government without any deal on daca. I think if those 18 to 20 democrats again fall in line with the republicans and dont take steps like senator Kamala Harris of california and others running in 2020 have taken, saying my support is contingent resolving the daca issue, you will see the daca activists showing up at democratic offices to complain. Its important, jackie, the handful of democrats in congress ive had on in the last few days, none of them have said theyll give a cent to funding a wall. But they also wont give up, you know, anything on daca. Where is that going to leave them . Do democrats need to be need to bend a little bit here and be willing to give a little bit towards walt and Border Security, you name it, to not fail on the daca promise . I feel like Border Security and the wall are two different things. Yeah. Because even republicans theyre going to have trouble getting republicans on the same
page as the wall and funding for that because you do have some republicans in the southwest in particular who arent really crazy about the border wall. Yeah, but i think on Border Security, you can see them bending on that, but as brian said, if they start funding the wall, theyre going to hear from their base and hispanic activists remember how angry they were during president obamas term about what they saw as not enough attention to their issues. If Democrats Cave on some of these things that are fundamental and important, theyre going to have some very interesting midterms and 2020 issues to contend with. Kevin, what about some first Entitlement Reform, paul ryan, big win for him on taxes, now he would love to see Entitlement Reform. Mitch mcconnell does not seem on board because he knows democrats arent on board. Then obamacare, trying it again on obamacare, senator Lindsey Graham says were crazy if we
dont try this thing again. Where do you see republicans going on those huge issues . Yeah, poppy. This reminds me when i worked in the house, we used to say the democrats were the opposition but the senate was the enemy. There is always going to be these tensions between those two houses. I think that paul ryan, two things hes always wanted to do, and hes using this leadership to do it, the first tax reform, he conquered that, the second is Entitlement Reform. He believes its fundamental to the longterm Economic Health of the country. I believe he will try to move forward on that. The window, though, again, on the legislation like that, thats very difficult to do and does require some level of bipartisanship, is very, very short because in a Midterm Election year like were about to head into, ultimately the gravitational pull is for both parties to start showing where their contrasts are, what their differences are. If we dont see some sort of Movement TowardsEntitlement Reform in the First Quarter i dont see how we get it done over the long calendar of the
year. Brian fallon, final word . I think Mitch Mcconnell is a realist and the idea some kind of big cut slashing of medicare and medicaid is going to make it ways through both chambers would be pushing republicans politically to the limit. You saw Susan Collins stretched to vote in favor of the tax package hear it from her constituents in maine. They lost a senate seat in alabama a new democrat sworn in, a oneseat majority. Democrats are going to run on Entitlement Cuts based on what the tax bill will likely mean for those programs. If they actually make it even more plain by putting a bill on the floor that would seek to Voucher Medicare it will send a lot more republicans to their doom in the midterms this year. See how much will Susan Collins trusts mcconnell after this time around. Right. Thank you very much. Jackie, kevin, brian, nice to have you. The unrest will end soon, that is what iranian leadership is saying this morning after were in the midst of a sixth
day of the antigovernment proesz. Not so sure the protesters see it that way. Were following the latest developments in iran for you. The president facing a laundry list of items he would like to accomplish this year. Can he convince democrats to get on board with any of it . We will ask one of them. Times up. Some of hollywoods biggest stars are launching a new plan to combat Sexual Harassment, sexual assault, not just in hollywood, but in workplaces across this country. You see some of them there.

But still, more worryingly for those observing, the perpetual decades long standoff in iran between the moderate branch of government and the hardline clerics and Security Forces, often backing them up. Today more disturbingly is the change in rhetoric in which hardliners have begun to blame outside influences trying to cast the protests on the street which they say themselves are about the economy, about political repression and unemployment. Particularly the iranian supreme leader, ayatollah khamenei, he said today, quote, the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a floor through which they can enter, to blame those with money, politics, weapons and intelligence for fomenting this protest. He a we are in its sixth day, geographically wider and more enduring, more intense, than i
think many thought entirely itself it was anticipated. There have been social unrest across iran quite regularly but not like this since 2009 where its fair to say police and Security Forces were much more repressive and lethal in the response they took. Given the increased focus now of the rising death toll, the duration were seeing and the blame on foreigners, how do you negotiate calm . The Protest Movement that seems pretty sfon tains you at this point laxcks a clear leader. Nick paton walsh in london, for that reporting, thank you. Meantime there are protests that have erupted in pakistan as officials there have held emergency meetings today over President Trumps latest tweet. You have crowds chanting, Holding Signs with President Trumps face xed out hours after he tweeted that the country has given the u. S. Nothing but lies and deceit and cnn has learned in the emergency meeting, pakistanses Prime Minister and a host of other top
military advisors and the white house says it will continue to withhold over 250 million in aid promised to pakistan. This morning, the president is weighing in also on the proposed talks potentially between north and south korea. Heres had heres what he writes. Sanctions and other pressures are going have an impact on north korea. Soldiers are fleeing to south korea. Rocket man wants to talk to south korea for the first time. Perhaps thats good news. We will see. South korea has said we want to talk at the dmz with north korea as early as next week. They are waiting for a response from north korea. With us now is Paula Hancocks in seoul, south korea. This would be monumental and significant if this meeting did happen next week. Absolutely, poppy. If south korea has anything to do with it, then it will happen. There really is a flurry of positive statements from different ministries here in south korea. The president , moon jaein, certainly has said consistently that he wants negotiations, dialog, engagement with north korea at some point. Its the ticket that he ran on to gain the presidency. Hes also said he wants north korea to be part of the Winter Olympics which start next month. This is really what this is focused on at this point, the potential that sports could help the politics. Now the Unification Ministry heres a suggested next tuesday, so january 9th, at the dmz at the border village, which is in north korea and in south korea, right on the border. As you say they havent had a response yet from north korea, but they have also said if north korea disagrees with those details, we can change the date, we can change the time, we can change the format. Really trying to bend over backwards to make sure that they can have these talks. Now they say its important to have highlevel talks at such an early date because the olympics are so close. Kim jongun said hes willing to
send a delegation to the olympics. South korea wants north korea there. But they have to hurry, they say if they want to iron out the details. It is potentially a significant development, but we will have to wait and see what north korea makes of that offer. Poppy . Whether they will come to the dmz and actually have these talks next week, Paula Hancocks, thank you. Joining me now, Military Analyst and retired air force colonel Cedric Leighton and security analyst gail [ inaudible ]. Colonel, let me begin with you on the talks. If they happen there, incredibly significant between north korea and south korea, and the president has been actually pretty clear on this tweet, they could be good for the u. S. Or bad for the u. S. It could be good for the Nuss Staving Off for the u. S. In staving off acceleration of the program, potential for nuclear war. It could be bad for the u. S. Because they could drive a wedge between the United States and south korea and china, for example. Right . Absolutely. Poppy, its a clear indication
that kim jongun is probably trying to, at the very least, drive a wedge between all of the parties that you mentioned there. But on the other hand, this is also an opportunity i think that one of the historical analogies that we can potentially look at here is the relationship that west germany crafted with east germany and the soviet union back in the early 1970s. They had this thing called politics of the east, and that kind of thing is precisely what president moon of south korea wants to do and he may have an opening to do that. This is one of those carrot and stick approaches. Right now were into carrots and well see how far that goes. Gail, lets turn to iran. Youre well versed in this issue. This is nothing new. This is an explosion of Pent Up Anger and resentment that many in iran, many youth in iran, youve got unemployment there up to 40 , many of them feel as though this regime, this more moderate rouhani regime, is not
working for them. Talk about the significance of what were seeing in the streets of iran and the downplaying of it by the rouhani regime this morning. Right. I think you see in some ways domestically theyre trying to play it down while abroad everybody is trying to figure out how do we react in a way that doesnt look like we are speaking for the protests from international capitals, washington and berlin. What you really see is years of an Austerity Budget that has not led to job creation in a way that a country with half the population age 30 or understand in a region its 65 age 30 or understand is struggling to find a footing. I dont think anybody saw the protests coming outside the country but a lot has changed since 2009. Whatsap, telegram, right, smartphones, all of these did not exist in 2009 in the same way to really spread communication and spread video in the same way. I think you see the world really watching as economic discontent in the form of people upset
about the economy and opportunity and grievances, about governance and generational change, really come right into the fore and on your television screen. What kind of opportunity, colonel, is this for the Trump Administration, for President Trump, who is not a fan of the nuclear deal, who wants to fully pull out of the Nuclear Agreement with iran . Lindsey graham said a few days ago this is a perfect opportunity for the president to make a big address and to say this is why the Iranian Nuclear deal isnt working, the sanctions being lifted is not trickling down economically to the youth in iran, is that a wise move . Is this helpful to him on that front . I think its helpful in this sense, poppy, it is good that the president has basically said that we stand with the protesters. What is needed, though, in this particular case is a strategy, an overarching framework, in we, the United States, along with our partners, this is something that has to be done with other
nations, recognize what is going on in iran and can be helpful, but were helpful indirectly. This has to be an iranian revolution, if it is, in fact, a revolution. It has to be something the iranians do themselves and we have to be very careful that our hands are not seen to be mixing too this at all. On pakistan, gail, this is an incredibly complex issue, incredibly complex and very strategically important relationship for the United States and the region. The Trump Administration applauding pakistan for helping get that north American Family out of the hands of the talibanlinked group in october, now slamming pakistan for what he calls deceit and lies, withholding 255 million in foreign aid from pakistan until they do more to fight terrorism and more to help the u. S. In the fight in afghanistan. How do you see this playing out . This is a long, simmering debate that has exploded on social media. Twitter has become the diplomatic cable of this moment. Things that might have been said
in private among folks either between allies or among folks within the same National Government are now playing out in a very public and very global town square and what you see is what afghan officials have said for years, what many inside the United States administrations, including the obama administration, have said for years, about not enough support coming from the pakistani side. But i dont think anybody quite expected to see it play out on twitter, all of the grievances put into one place in 280 characters. How do you see it, finally, colonel . You have a very important strategically but also nuclear power. Absolutely. Pakistan is a key element there and one of the things that we have to be very careful of, although the president is right in one sense in that the pakistanis have actually ob skondsed with a lot of u. S. Aid to their country, on the other hand they have also helped us in many, many ways, including the capture of back in 2001 of Khalid Shakih Mohammad
right. They have done many big things for us, and we have to be careful to balance that because if we dont the chinese and other players will come in and create problems not only for us but for india and other nations in the region and we want to be very careful to keep a lid on that pot before it boils over. Colonel leighton, and gail, nice to have you both. Thank you so much. Absolutely. White house officials are set to meet with top leadership from both parties in congress. Moments ago, the president slammed democrats. Is that a way to get them on board . Ahead. snap achoo snap achoo achoo snap snap achoo achoo feel a cold coming on .

So if the president wants democrats to get behind his agenda or even part of it, heres his strategy this morning. The president writes, democrats are doing nothing for daca. Just interested in politics. Daca activists and hispanics will go hard against dems and will start falling in love with republicans and their president. We are about results. Joining me to talk about this is democratic congressman of california, jared huffman. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Did the president win you over with that message . Ive stopped responding to the daily provocations in the president s twitter feed. Thats not a good way to win over democrats. A better way would be to work with us in good faith on solutions. Okay. So lets talk about working in good faith on solutions which many, Many Americans want on many fronts, but really a lot on daca. This is not a republican or democratic issue. This is an american issue. Yeah. Over 80 of americans polled say they want some sort of pathway for socalled d. R. E. A. M. Ers brought to this country at the average age of 6. So what will you give to get the president and republicans on board for a daca deal before the march deadline . Well, poppy, the deal is already there. We have a Bipartisan Working Group in congress that could have the votes to pass the d. R. E. A. M. Act tomorrow. We need to be allowed to have that vote. The president says he wont sign it. You know the president says he wont sign it unless you give something to funding the wall. Well, weve certainly been
willing to support Border Security. Were not going to fund a crazy border wall that the president promised the world mexico would pay for. That is not working in good faith. Okay. But his latest line is, no wall, no daca deal. Will you give at all . If its a crazy border wall that the president has promised and talked about and said mexico would pay for, no. The d. R. E. A. M. Ers are not a Bargaining Chip for that, frankly, very controversial and widely opposed bad idea. There is a deal to be had for the d. R. E. A. M. Ers, for the continuation of the daca program. The president himself agreed to the broad principles of that deal months ago, so, you know, hes im not sure what hes doing with his tweets in the last few days, but we need to get back to the table, working in good faith, building on the consensus thats already there on a bipartisan basis with
members of congress. 2018 is a big year. Its a Midterm Election. Youre up for reelection. And, you know, who is going to control both houses of congress, is a huge question. The only folks with lower Approval Rating than the president right now are you guys, seriously. Congress Approval Rating averaged 19 last year. When you sit back and look at that, what do you think . Well, i think as an institution congress is performing terribly, so that shouldnt be surprising at all. I will tell you that in my case, in the case of many of my colleagues, our Approval Ratings, a heck of a lot better than the president s when it comes to our districts and constituents. Impeachment, some of your fellow democrats have gone very far on this and have put Forth Articles Of Impeachment against the president. But youve even said that youre on board with them. You havent gone so far as to introduce them. Right. Youre warning that its
dangerous territory for democrats, especially in a Midterm Election year, to necessarily go so far on impeachment without bipartisan support because you point back to the impeachment of president clinton. Whats the lesson for your fellow democrats in a midterm year . Democrats and all members of Congress Need to be honest and careful and responsible when we talk about impeachment. Part of our job is holding the president accountable and dozens believe that impeachable offenses have been committed and we ought to be having that conversation. But it cant be the only thing we do. We have to be honest with the american people. Were nowhere close to having the Political Support across party lines to actually start that type of proceeding. So i think we have to keep building the foundation of accountability through protecting the Mueller Investigation, through congressional investigations and we got to keep simultaneously working on issues that matter to the american people. Better future for them, better jobs, better wages. Better training. All sorts of infrastructure investment, things we should have been doing over the past year while our republican colleagues were playing around trying to repeal obamacare and passing a tax scam. Is it dangerous, your message to fellow democrats, its dangerous for us to just run on impeachment, impeachment, russia, russia, you know, antitrump, antitrump, to win to retake even say the house . Do your fellow democrats need a much more thoughtful, proactive message . We have to be honest and the honest truth were nowhere close to 218 votes to start impeachment. Part of being honest also is when asked the question, have impeachable offenses been committed, i think anyone who takes the time to look into this, has to conclude that they have. We should be spending, in my opinion, about 80 of our time talking on issues, talking about issues like daca, like better jobs, like an economy that works
for everyone, investing in infrastructure, broadband to better served areas and 20 of our time on the other part of our job to hold the president accountablep that includes a conversation about impeachment and 259th amendment and a dangerous president doing damage to this country and the world. You see what you would deem impeachable offenses. We dont know the results of the Mueller Investigation or congressional investigations at this point. Before you go take a look at these numbers. Youre not going to love them but these are the numbers. The fundraising numbers. As we all know Money Matters a lot in politics. The rnc has doubled what the dnc raised in terms of money last year. Youre up for reelection and look at those numbers, does that worry you and should that worry democrats . In well, the rnc doesnt have a lot to do with democratic or republican congressional races. It has a lot to do with paying the trump legal bills. For the party, does it
concern you for the party . As the president sits with 35 Approval Rating but the party is raising a lot . There are other metrics. You can look at the dcccc to our republican colleagues and were doing just fine and setting records. The funds will be there. The real question is will the message break through. I think were seeing signs from alabama, new jersey, other places, that yeah, the message is breaking through. People have had it with this reckless trump agenda and ready for change, ready for an agenda that works for the american people. Some would argue alabama was an anomaly given the republican candidate there. I hear you and well be watching. Congressman jared huffman, thank you. Thanks, poppy. A law in israel makes it harder to divide jerusalem. We will tell you what it is. A live report from the city next. Heartburn. Of israel, its the most sensitive, perhaps the most important issue in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. O Oren Lieberman joins us from jerusalem. This changes the number of votes needed but for something incredibly important . Right. It requires an even larger majority of Israels Parliament to give up any part of jerusalem to a foreign entitity. That would be the palestinians and negotiations. It tries to take jerusalem off the table in negotiations by requiring such a large majority. Because jerusalem is so central, such an important part of the Israeli Palestinian conflict it makes any pursuit of a twostate solution all that much more difficult. It has a second part here. It also allows Israels Parliament to essentially change the Borders Of Jerusalem on its own, to redraw the municipal map. That allows it to pursue a plan that would remove palestinian neighborhoods from jerusalem in an attempt to ensure israels
or jerusalems jewish majority as the capital of israel there. Poppy . And what does this do to the president s hope for a twostate solution . I mean the work that Jared Kushner is doing on that front, does it make all but impossible, does it make it much more difficult . It was long shot to begin with, ever since trump took office. When he recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinians walked away and said we no longer view the u. S. As the impartial negotiator here and not dealing with whatever it is that trump has planned. At this point after the latest law that was just passed the palestinians have said this is a declarations of war against the Palestinian People and it shows that the israel and the u. S. Are no longer interested in a just and lasting peace. Now its become more difficult after that because israel has attempted to take jerusalem off the table, which means trump not only has to deal with the
palestinian challenge but the israeli challenge. Yet, as of repeatedly, he still insists hes pursuing the ultimate deal, the question is how, because it no longer looks as if theres some reasonable way to try to get both sides to the table and actually negotiate the issues here. A really significant move in israel. Appreciate the reporting tonight from jerusalem. So ahead for us, hollywoods most powerful women have set up something remarkable, frankly, saying time out with a letter to sister, in solidarity we stand, a move to prevent Workplace Harassment and abuse not just in hollywood but across america. The plan, next. The great emperor penguin migration. Trekking a hundred miles inland to their breeding grounds. Except for these two fellows. This time next year, were gonna be sitting on an egg. I think were getting close make a uturn. Uturn . Recalculating. Man, we are never gonna breed. Just give it a second. You will arrive in 92 days. Nah, nuhuh. Nope, nope, nope. You know who im gonna follow . My instincts. As long as gps can still get you lost, you can count on geico saving folks money. Im breeding, man. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Reliable sources brian stelter. Khloe, youve been on top of this with breaking news. This is a big, big deal looking at these women. What is the hope that it will actually affect change . Youre right, poppy, this is a huge dealing. Over 300 Men And Women in the Entertainment Industry unveiled times up earlier this week with an open letter saying that their plan is to fight Sexual Harassment and discrimination for Men And Women across all industries, not just in hollywood, and in doing so, with this open letter that hundreds of celebrities signed, both Men And Women, they have launched a Legal Defense fund and have already raised over 13 million of their 15 million goal, which is to provide subsidized Legal Support for Men And Women who have experienced harassment and abuse in the workplace. Just pulling up some of the women if we can on the screen who are behind this, these are the biggest names in hollywood. Reese witherspoon, alyssa
milano theyre not just pushing for that, theyre pushing for gender parody across film studios, tv studios, looking to bridge the wage gap. Also, they are fighting to, you know, Go To Washington to make sure that theres legislation that penalizes companies for using nondisclosure arguments, silence people, you know, so its a very good move and theyre also asking all Men And Women to wear black to the Golden Globes this weekend in support of this growing movement. We will see a lot of that on the red carpet. Talking about the dmanondisclos agreements, thats a huge thing that Gretchen Carlson brought down roger ailes at fox news, shes been fighting for legislatively in congress and now another big appointment for her now. To be taking over the miss america organization, this is a result of leaked emails that showed the former head of miss america, the ceo, talking in the disparaging terms about some of the women, some of the winners,
contestants, this was reported by huff post before christmas and now the ceo is out and Gretchen Carlson coming in. She was miss america in 1989. This is the first time one of the actual winners will be running the organization. Kind of think that should have happened a long time ago. Here is carlson taking over. Also gives her a highprofile position as she is helping to lead this charge. All the stories that are really related, the today Show Pointing hoda kotb first time weve seen two women anchors. Saw it on gma 15 years ago. Now its significant given the stories about harassment and problems in the workforce and questions about whether systemic change is possible in 2018, not just firingings, but systemic change. You see hollywood trying to do that, different organizations doing it as well. What will you be looking for . One thing that is pretty similar in hollywood and in washington is the lack of female leadership on the Executive Level in the
Entertainment Industry. You have bigname women, you just dont have parody when it comes to Men And Women, like you dont have parody when it comes to Men And Women in congress. What are you going to be looking at in 2018 to tell me actual change is coming. Were going to be looking for more women in higher, powerful positions in hollywood at these film studios, at these tv studios, streaming services, theres a lot of powerful men out in those positions, so there are openings for women to fill those shoes. Yeah. Amazon, for example. True. Thats something were going to be looking for. In terms of the near future, this weekend at the Golden Globes your Better Believe that message is going to be about the Metoo Movement and no more harassment and inequality. What are you looking for . The Gender Parody Point is crucial. Theres a lot of of talk right now. 2018 has translated to action. Amazing to see these women organizing. Our friend Brook Baldwin has a great series tomorrow on cnn. Com, american women, and one of the women profiled is ava. Yeah. Powerful woman in hollywood. Thank you very much. Happy new year. We appreciate it. Day two of 2018, President Trump tweeting about iran, north korea, former president obama. Also taking on his own justice department, just a few of the headlines we have to get to.
