For its military moves in ukraine for the first time and warning israel about new developments and settlements in the west bank. All longestablished approaches actually used by the Obama Administration. Mr. Trump taking the page from the obama playbook with iran, threatening additional sanctions over last weeks Ballistic Missile test. Day 15 of Donald Trumps presidency. Our coverage begins with jeff zeleny at the bhous. Good morning, chris. President trump is forming his Foreign Policy. Its far too early to say what a trump dock krin would look like. This morning there are similarities between the Previous Administration and this one and many differences between candidate trump and President Trump. President trump telling israel not so fast with settlement construction in the west bank and east jerusalem. The white house releasing a statement warning israel that the expansion of existing settlements behind their current borders may not be helpful in achieving peace. Those words sounding similar to the Obama Administrations approach to the settlements. They cannot permanently occupy and settle palestinian land. Reporter far different from the tone mr. Trump took on the campaign trail. Israel, our great friend and the one true democracy in the middle east has been snubbed and criticized by an administration that lacks moral clarity. Reporter the white house noting that President Trump has not taken an official position yet and will continue discussions when he meets with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in two weeks. I must condemn the aggressive actions of risch yeah. Reporter tough talk coming from un Ambassador Nikki Haley condemning russia for a recent surge of violence in Eastern Ukraine. We do want to better our relations with russia. However, the dire situation in Eastern Ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of russian actions. Her rhetoric stronger than the president s comments on russia. Sources tell cnn they signed off on haleys speech. Meanwhile today the white house could announce additional tougher sanctions on iran following sundays Ballistic Missile test. These sanctions expected to be similar to actions by former president obama. Mr. Trump also not ruling out military action. Nothing is off the table. I havent eased anything. Reporter Foreign Policy center stage on Rex Tillersons first day as secretary of state. Hi, im the new guy. Reporter speaking with foreign leaders from israel, germany and mexico, but also doing damage control after the president s tense phone call with australia. President obama said they were going to take probably well over a thousand immigrants that were in prisons and bring them into this country. I said why. Reporter Republican Leaders alarmed at the president s tone toward a longstanding u. S. Ally. The relationship between the United States and australia is of the greatest importance. Im concerned about the effect of this difference. Reporter coming up this morning in about 30 minutes, the first jobs report of this presidency and the reaction from the white house will be interesting to watch. During the president ial campaign mr. Trump always said the Unemployment Rate was far higher than the government said it was. This will be his first Unemployment Rate since taking office. By the end of the day, the president is heading to floor for his first weekend retreat vacation as president at maralago. Interesting to see what happens. Thank you for previewing that. Top republicans are shifting their stance on obamacare saying it should be repaired, not repealed. Also doing something controversial on gun control. Lets bring in Phil Mattingly live on capitol hill. Whats the latest . Reporter when it comes to the Affordable Care act, the republican efforts to repeal and replace it, no question its going to be hard, particularly getting the team, getting the Republican Party to coalesce around a repair plan. Theyre also having language problems. The idea of do you repair obamacare or repair the issue. Listen to what paul ryan had to say. Theres a miscommunication or misinterpretation of what were trying to say. Our job is to rebare a Health Care System from collapse. The best way to the that is repeal and replace obamacare. As you heard, repair the system, not the law. Still Big Questions about what the actual replace plan will look like. Repeal and replace still the strate strategy. The house is moving forward on a particular provision, a rule put in place at the tail end of their final days in office. Requiring the Social Security administration to forward criminal background checks names of anybody listed as unable to handle their own benefit payments. The rationalization was to cut back on their ability to buy guns. That rule has now been blocked by the u. S. House. The u. S. Senate is expected to focus to vote on it soon. I will tell you guys the reason why is not just because of the nra. The aclu also had due process concerns here. If you want to see action, there are things that are actually happening on capitol hill even if the democrats dont always like it. Boy, oh, boy, such an interesting context that it comes down to mental health. We dont do enough about it, but when we do do something, it causes another fight. Joining Us Democratic congressman adam schiff, Ranking Member of the house intelligence committee. Good morning, chris. The Trump Administration seems to suggest the following, you were weak, the Obama Administration was weak, our foreign allies and sad sayers knew it and took advantage. I am strong and will lay the groundwork for our supremacy and then they will do what we say. Do you believe thats the right approach and do you believe its work . I dont believe its accurate or the right approach. It goes beyond that. Its not just enemies took advantage of america. You listen to the president s statements at the Prayer Breakfast yesterday, everyone in the world was taking advantage of america, all playing america for a fool, were the victim of an International Conspiracy of friend and foe alike. This is why he had such a hostile interaction with the australian Prime Minister. I think his world view is darker than that. This is also a trend were seeing in the early days of this administration which is blame everything on the last guy that was in the office. That kind of thing is only going to last so long. They really have to take responsibility for their own Foreign Policy, and i dont think merely talking tough with our friends as well as our enemies, everyone except putin apparently, is a very good strategy. You just had nikki haley following through on their thought, it is that theyre setting the ground rules that america is not joking around anymore. Nikki haley goes into the un and says, russia, until you get out of the crimean peninsula, well keep the sanctions in effect. Thats tough talk. Saying about ukraine, that the new violence there, thats a concern for us. This country has been quiet on ukraine. Theres been some talk but not enough action. John mccain asking for the weapons that the Obama Administration would not give to kiev to defend itself. That could be an opportunity to be stronger, no . Absolutely. I would say nikki haleys statement was probably the best statement of the administration thus far. Admittedly its a pretty short list. Yes, i like everything ability what she said. Theres still a question about whether the president really subscribes to that policy. At the same time she was making that statement, the administration was sending a different signal to russia by a small relaxation of the sanctions on russia. That was a symbolic measure, largely technical, but the symbolism was in the wrong direction. What does that mean . Does that mean were following the nikki haley policy or does that mean donald trump still thinks russia is our friend . I would love to see us pass legislation to provide weapons to the ukraine, to the leaders in ukraine to provide for their own defense is something i advocated during the Obama Administration i disagreed with during the Obama Administration. Will the president support that policy . Thats yet to be seen. Id like to see the president say a few things that nikki haley said. Another thing for you to chew on for us this morning. You said the president had a tough call with the Prime Minister of australia. I agree with that. Administration officials back that up. The president put out a tweet this morning calling that fake news. One of his counselors referenced as an attack of the existing refugee policies and vetting in the United States a massacre in Bowling Green that never happened. Called out a ban for six months of iraqi refugees, that never happened. How do you deal with those types of bold face inaccuracies . Thats exactly what they are. Apparently, according to the Trump Administration fake news is synonymous with any bad press they get. If they get bad press, its fake. At the same time they demonstrated a willingness to event facts at will. Certainly Kellyanne Conway talking about a nonexistent massacre in Bowling Green. People on social media were saying where were you when this event never took place . Frankly, the false fire in chief, donald trump himself, perpetuating this fabrication that millions of undocumented immigrants vote in the election. You couldnt have something more supremely false than that. That was the single most disturbing thing in the early days after the election, that the president would put out this fiction. So i think you just have to confront it. I want to applaud you and applaud the media that are not going to normalize this propagation of patently false information coming out of the white house. They are trying to bully everyone including the media, and theyre trying to set different Media Outlets against each other. I think its very destructive. Theres a bigger problem. Theres an old adage, you cant convince somebody of the truth if they are intent on believing a lie. I think part of the problem here is political. The base that got donald trump does not like you, they dont like your party or what you represent. They would rather believe him in the hope that he will make their life better. They will support him even though they dont believe what hes saying because they dont like you. How can you win these people back . They matter. They absolutely matter. There are going to be some people that cant be won over. Youre right. Theyre going to believe whatever this president says because they want to believe it. I dont think you can persuade those people. Those arent the majority even of trump voters. The vast majority of people that i think voted for donald trump voted for him because they were worried about the economy, they were worried about the fact that they werent living the life they hoped and expected and had even less prospects for their kids. Those are people we can talk to, those are people we need to talk to. Those are not people ready to believe anything merely because donald trump says it. I think we have to continue to call out this administration when theyre saying things that are patently untrue. We have to speak to people we didnt speak to in the campaign and i think, frankly, these ought to be natural democratic voters. When you look at all the wall street people theyre filling the positions with, the fact they want to roll back the doddfrank regulations that got us into that horrendous recession and jeopardize peoples economic futures, we are the party that do represent those voters. We didnt make the case in the election. Were going to have to do better. Got to offer better. Always good to have you with us, congressman. Look forward to seeing you again. Thanks, chris. Following breaking news out of paris. A man wielding a large knife rushed soldiers near the Louvre Museum causing one soldier to open fire, reportedly screaming allah akbar during the attack. A second speck also under arrest. A terror investigation under way. Paris has been under a state of emergency since the november 2015 terror attacks that left at least 130 people dead. Still under a heightened state of emergency there in france. Now we know why. Repealing and replacing obamacare. That was the bread and butter of President Trumps campaign when it came to domestic policy. Now Top Republicans say another r is more workable, repair. Lets dig deeper with a gop senator. What is going to be your reality when it comes to getting insurance if your employer doesnt give it to you next . This is one gorgeous truck. Special edition. Oh, did i say theres only one special edition . Because, actually theres 5. Aaaahh ooohh uh holy mackerel. Wow. Nice. Strength and style. Which ones your favorite . Come home with me its truck month find your tag for an average total value over 11,000 on Chevy Silverado all star editions when you finance through gm financial. Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. A uh, you asked to see me, coffee . Yeah, listen, sugar, were, uh. Lettin you go. Wait, what . People love sweet taste. Thats true, but sweet aint enough anymore. Its that splenda naturals gal, isnt it . Yeah. I knew it look, not only is she sweet, shes got natural stevia, no bitter aftertaste, and of course, zero calories. Ohh, not the calories again. Sugar, youre full of calories. I know ugh so all the partners agree . Even iced tea . Especially iced tea. Goodbye, sugar. Hello, new splenda naturals. Goodbye, sugar. But when we brought our daughter home, that was it. Now i have nicoderm cq. The nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release Technology Helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. Its the best thing that ever happened to me. Every great why needs a great how. Despite republican promises to repeal obamacare, lets discuss this with wyoming republican senator john barrasso. Good morning, senator. Good morning, alisyn. Thanks for having me. Great to have you. Is the plan to repeal obamacare over . Absolutely not. Im committed, even though obamacare cannot be fixed, health care in america has to be fixed. Im committed to finding longterm solutions to help patients get the care they need from a doctor they choose at lower costs. Got it. It sounds like the language has shifted to instead of wholesale repeal, repair what you have. We need to repeal the Health Care Law and replace it with things that actually provide relief for the people hurt by the Health Care Law. Thats how i look it as a doctor who has practiced medicine for 25 years. So many people in my home state of wyoming had insurance that they like, prices went way up. It was canceled because of the obamacare regulations. We want to get the decisions out of washington. I want patients to make those decisions, put the decisions at the state level, give much more freedom, flexibility and choice there than washington dictated. People are tired of the bureaucracy, tired of all the headaches and hassles that have come with the Health Care Law. It sounds like your colleagues, like senator Lamar Alexander are using different language. Let me read it for you. He said think of it as a collapsing bridge. In the meantime, we repair it. No one is talking about repealing anything until theres a concrete practical alternative to offer americans in its place. Hes talking about repairing it right now, not repealing it. He and i met with a number of state Insurance Commissioners this week along with a large group of senators to talk about how anyone who has insurance today doesnt loolz it tomorrow, provide a safe transition to those people so they can get Affordable Care. But right now theres general agreement that obamacare has failed, Insurance Markets across the country are collapsing, and other Insurance Companies are saying they dont want to participate in the exchanges either. I Want Health Care for people that they can use, even those that have obamacare. We see so many of them, the deductibles or copays are so high, they cant even afford to use the insurance theyve gotten from obamacare even if theyre getting subsidies to pay for the premiums. Senator, youve always done a good job of laying out the issues and the problems with it as you see it. When will you all have a plab . As we also said, were not going to bring down a 2700page bill to the floor of the senate. We want to do this, as we said, piece by piece, step by step, and thats what were working on now, to make sure we go through the steps. We have to get our secretary of health and Human Services in place so he can work through the regulations that have actually made the Health Care Law worse than it was as written, so he can do things there. Legislatively well be able to do some things as well. We are committed to longterm solutions for health care. Senator, i want to ask you while i have you about whats going on with gun control in the house. Theres just been this measure to lift a gun control restriction that will now allow people with severe Mental Illness to get their hands on guns. How does that make sense . I dont look at it this way. Im a strong proponent of our Second Amendment rights. Its interesting. This is a rule that president obama came out with in december long after he was a lame duck president. If this is something he was so committed to, you would have thought sometime in the previous eight years he would have come out with a regulation. Forget the timing. What about the substance of it. If theres one point of agreement, bipartisan point of agreement that everyone has said from gun enthusiasts to gun control activists, its keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. This sounds like it would make it easier for them to get their hands on guns. I dont view it that way at all. This is going against people with social, people who make financialtion decisions and its putting the Social Security administration in a point where they would then be determining who is reported in ways in terms of our Second Amendment rights. As i understand it, it involves 75,000 people with mental disorders so severe that they cannot work and they have someone else manage their Social Security benefits. How does it make sense to let them have guns . This is a new change by president obama, a midnight regulation on his way out the door. It should be subject to a full debate, discussion, and the house voted on it yesterday and voted to repeal that rule. If someone has a Mental Illness so severe that they cannot work, should they be able to have a gun . The question is somebody able to have a gun at the same time theyre receiving Social Security disability benefits. You can take a look at how those decisions are being made. Disability for a Mental Illness. Seven, eight years of president obamas term, it was fine. To come out with a midnight regulation at this point that maybe even members of his own party dont support seems like just another thing that president obama has done while leaving the white house to try to gum up the works as he leaves. Senator, are you comfortable with somebody having a mental disability and having a gun . You can take a look at what the constitution says which is what i do as a physician who spent lots of time working with patients with all different backgrounds. Theyre clearly people labeled one way or another, and im not comfortable with this late midnight recommendation by the president as hes leaving office. Senator, i want to ask you about scott pruitt. As you well know, democrats did not show up to be a part of that vote. I know you disagree with that strategy. Thaw say some of these committee some of these cabinet posts have been rushed through without the proper background vetting, without the proper questions being answered. What do you say to your fellow democrats . Well, at this point when President Trump was elected when president obama was elected, he had his full cabinet in place. The democrats have been obstructing every step along the way from so many cabinet appointees. It is their playbook. Chuck schumer has called the play and Committee Members have been doing this for a number of committees. Ill tell you. It seems like the democrats want political theater. The e. P. A. Needs a new administrator. Thats what we did in the environment and Public Works Committee yesterday. We said that, if they dont want to show up, fine, we suspended the rules. Hes been voted on, approved by the committee and he will be going to the floor of the United States senate because the epa needs an administrator. Scott pruitt answered over a thousand questions, more than any other epa administrate ernie wherever. The democrats dont like the answers to his questions, donald trump won the election. Scott pruitt is the right person. He has a history in oklahoma of protecting the environment as well as strengthening the economy and fighting for states rights. Senator barrasso, we appreciate you being on new day. Thanks, alisyn. What the president of the United States matters. Proof, the president of france taking aim at President Trump. Hes telling other leaders there may be no future with this administration. We discuss why. Fareed zakaria is going to give you the bottom line next. This bar is made with cranberries and almonds. So, guess what . We call it cranberry almond. Give kind a try. Another fight brewing between President Trump and french president Francois Hollande telling eu partners at a summit, quote, it is unacceptable that there should be through a number of statements pressure by the u. S. President on what europe should be or should no longer be. There is no future with trump if its not worked together. Lets get to the bottom line with Fareed Zakaria host of Fareed Zakaria gps. This isnt usual rhetoric from france when it comes to the United States. How much of this is bumping chests, how much could be something more . Its not usual rhetoric, but what trump has been doing is highly unusual with regard to the European Union. The europeans, lets remember, got together after world war ii and decided to make sure there was never another european war like that, they were going to create an interdependent organization, first called the european community, and the United States strongly supported this idea that fran ch and germany bind themselves together. Trump for the last six months has been making Anti European Union statements. Hes been talking about how its corrupt, it will break up. He starts predicting what countries are going to leave it. Obviously this is very troubling to the europeans. For the first time, they have a critic of the European Union in the white house. Theyre used to having the russian president trying to undermine the European Union. But the idea that the president of the United States is criticizesing them, thats highly unusual. It sounds like they dont know what to make of it. They dont know what to make of President Trump. Where do they go from here . Join the club, dont you think . Part of it is that one doesnt know how much thats just a kind of expression of how trump feels, the famous line about trump now from that atlantic journalist, do we take him literally or seriously . Is thhe really trying to active undermine the European Union or are you getting this populous sentiment that he expresses about lots of different things. So what are you to do when you analyze the impacts of this . This election was largely fueled for trump on the, were weak, im strong. Hes got this guy bannon in his ear who loves the idea of disruption. That seems to be the mandate thus far. It does not seem like he was doing anything in the first instance to bolster relationships. He was being disruptive. Now we see a second wave of moves, nikki haley at the un, what were seeing with what on notice meant. How do you analyze this . I think whats happened, and who knows, but it appears that professionals are now beginning to assert themselves. You have mattis at defense, very competent guy, tillerson at state, very competent ceo his whole life. Probably what happened with the nikki haley speech is this was drafted or in large part drafted through the secretary of state and the state department and reflected the continuity of american policy. So what nikki haley said was surprising only because it came from a trump appointee. Otherwise it was entirely in keeping with what the u. S. Policy has been on russias aggression in ukraine. The settlement issue, the white houses statement was again surprising only given trumps lavish phrase of israel and criticism of obama. Otherwise, what the white house said about israeli settlements was what every white house has said for 40ers yoo. Perhaps whats happening here is the continuity of american policy is asserting itself through these professionals which is a very good thing. Frankly, once you give trump credit for recognizing that you do need continuity. People expect the United States to have a consistent Foreign Policy. And then theres this. Your op ed in the Washington Post that is the headline sorry, President Trump, i agree with you. What have you done with Fareed Zakaria. There are parts of trumps program i agree with, infrastructure. I think theres excessive regulation in some sectors. I think its a very good idea to have tax reform. The tax code is too complicated and frankly corrupt. Part of the problem for us in the media is trump attacks us so much all the time, were the opposition party, third rate human beings. Bannon says you guys should shut up and listen. I was trying to grapple with the fact that we have to be careful not to absorb and reflect that negativity. We cant mirror trumps hostility to us and we have to fairly evaluate his policies when we agree with them, we say it. When we disagree with him, we say that, and not get caught up in this psycho drama that may serve his political purposes, but its not what our role is. Our role is to keep the government accountable and keep the citizenry informed. Thats why the constitution explicitly protects only this one industry. What would be helpful in that would be this administration focusing on what got it there. I am a little kind of confused about why, what you point out you agree with you could point out the way hes been folding in corporate perspective on regulation and tax especially. Thats new and being done at least in an overt way that could bear fruit. What arent they focusing more on that in ststead of lighting fir fires . If you look at the attack on the media, whats the point here . Every president after getting elected has usually tried to unify the country, has tried to say to the people who didnt vote for him, you know, i represent you as well. Trump has done the opposite. Hes doubled down. I think possibly hes getting advice from bannon. Possibly this is his own view that theres an anger and frustration and desire for destruction out there. His job is not to make nice. His job is to keep americans mad, riled up. Also lost the counties that make the most money in this country and pay the most taxes. Yes. Fareed, thank you, great arlt curveball for everyone to read about the points of agreement. The january jobs report is out. The first of the Trump Administration.

This was a strong jobs report for the first month of the year, 227,000 net new jobs added. Thats the strongest since the summer. Continues this pace of 183,000 new jobs each month for the past three months if you average it out. Unemployment rate 4. 8 . Thats less than half of what it was at the worst of the financial crisis. You have the jobless rate coming down, now here at 4. 8 . The Labor Force Participation rate, thats one of the numbers youve often heard Team Trump Talk about. Thats up a little bit here. That means a few more people entering the labor market. Here is where the job gains are. This is pretty interesting, broad based. Retail a lot of job gain there. Construction, this has been strong all year. The housing market, this is activity, Building Activity has been strong. And business, Computer Systems design. Theres been a lot of josh creation there for some time. This is where those jobs have been created. We also saw wages pop 2. 5 year of year. One of the reasons is 19 states in january raised minimum wages. Youre seeing that filter through. Markets open soon, futures are hi area. Time to now for the five things to know.

Even im excited. Will politics be center stage at this big game . Joining us cnn senior media correspondent and host of reliable sources Brian Stelter and cnn media analyst bill carter. It does seem this will be a political. We have lady gaga. The owner of the falcons is anti trump. You have warring fractions on the field, even on the game where everybody comes together to watch, this is going to be an awful lot of divisiveness, apparently even the ads. Got the budweiser ad. This country is so divided. Is there any surprise this game will be political. Some people like a break for a few hours, but im not sure thats possible. A football can transcend a lot of things. If this is a good game, thats what people will be focused on. A lot of people tune in for the ads, lets face it. Theres been an ad deemed so controversial by the fox network that part of it has been pulled. It was for this lumber company, 84 lumber. We have a little portion of it. Its about a mother and her daughter, and they are undocumented, and theyre going to be attempting to make it to the border. As we understand it, it is now going to end in a cliffhanger, because thats the part that fox changed as you see them trying to make it to the border. Originally they get to a wall. Thats the part fox said were not gong to put on. Its still an ad about apparently undocumented seems to be from mexico, Central America at least. This dream to come to america, thats the essence of the ad. Whats the plusmean news . Just a quick statistical basis. Hillary clinton won the counties in this country that make the most money, drive the economy the most and pay the most in taxes, but thats not who decided this election. So if you do an ad like this to sell product ultimately, whats the plus minus . You are taking a risk and hoping the reward of all the promotional value, all the attention, all the controversy ultimately benefits you more than turning off a few folks than causing a boycott or protests. Weve seen attempts at boycott. This budweiser ad showing an immigrant story, the founder of bud. They say it has nothing to do with politics, but give me a break. They could have chosen to run a different ad instead. That causes controversy in the past, it would be a celebration of the american story that all of us have. My grandparents came from europe, probably yours did, too. Thats what the ad is. Now its controversial. Maybe the idea is if youre starting to debate politics with your family, youll go to the fridge and grab at bud. Do we think lady gaga is going to go rogue . Shes been told not to talk politics, she does sometimes. Certainly the producers would prefer for her to stick to the music. They picked the wrong person if they wanted a patsy. Thats not who she is. The nfl said they havent told her not to mention trump. I think they said we want to have an inclusive halftime i think shell be clever about something if he does something, try to do something subtle, not overt. A little bit of business here, Donald Trump Tweets its fake he had a tough call with the Prime Minister of australia, its demonstrably false. People in his own administration telling a different story. Kellyanne conway talks about the Bowling Green massacre. It never happened. The trump base picks it up, runs with it, the media ignored this, its fake. She just tweeted she made a mistake. She meant the Bowling Green terrorists who were there who slipped through the system. They changed the vetting because of it. There was never a ban of iraqi refugees. That part is still untrue. What do you make of this situation, stelter . I look at this. She said on hardball with Chris Matthews, she said the master minds of the Bowling Green massacre. If she says she means terrorists, the entire sentence was misconstrued. I think its an open question whether she thought there had been an attack in Bowling Green, kentucky. And the media would suppress it. This is the insanity of it. Of course she misspoke. She meant the terrorists. She suggested that the news wouldnt cover a terrorist attack, a massacre because of politics . Stop the madness. Because she says were fake news. I completely agree. This is the problem with annette does versus data. She sees on one anecdote as opposed to the data which says refugees are less likely to commit crimes shes seizing on an anecdote trying to sew fear. Im disappointed Chris Matthews didnt catch it in the moment. Interviews with Kellyanne Conway are very hard. They are. When theres incoming, she fires up chaff to misdirect the missiles coming at her. Dont Pay Attention to the facts. Im throwing this up to distract you. I hope she sees something in this and they think about it messagingwise. A lot of of the base is refusing to let go of the idea that there was a mass care.
