Welcome to americas news headquarters and Jillian Turner. Its great to be with you. I am leland. So far no reaction to the white house on Steve Bannons comments on his regrets. We know the president was not happy with him yesterday. President trump is back at the white house now, arriving this morning. Garrett is that the white house now. This weekend was supposed to be about the gop ambitious agenda for the year ahead. Today, the white house is spending time and energy responding to allegations in the new fire and fury book. The president to do, i had to put up with the fake news from the first day i announced i would be running for president. Now i need to put up with a fake book read by discredited author. Ronald reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So i. Some of the statements came from steve bannon, the farmers white house chief strategist called the daughter, ivanka, dumb as a brick. And he also talked about a meeting with the russians as treasonous and unpatriotic. Without hearing from steve bannon for the first time. In a statement its notable, he does not dispute any quotes attributed to him. He does not apologize outright but he tries to offer expeditions and my comments were aimed at paul manafort, he shouldve known the russians were duplicitous, cunning and not our friend. Those comments were not aimed at don junior. I regret my delay in responding to inaccurate reporting has diverted attention to the president s historical accomplishments. Despite the pushback on the book, the author said he is standing fully by everything he wrote. If i left out anything its probably stuff thats even more damning. Its that bad. Its an extraordinary moment in time. I think not an exaggeration or unreasonable to say this is 20 fifth amendment kind of stuff. The 25th amendment provides the president can be removed if he is deemed unfit to carry out the capacities or duties of his office. We have reset to the white house for reaction from Steve Bannons white house. Comments. Were waiting to hear back. Leland also to hear back from bannon to find out what was accurate. Garrett, thank you. Jillian has more on the policy around us. Jillian for more insight we bring in brian mud, thank you for being with us. I want to play sound from you from yesterday, camp david President Trump says unequivocally, he is not interested in finding a legislative solution for fix for the dreamers in this country unless its tied to his wall. We want the wall. If its can happen or we will not have before. We want to get rid of chain migration in the lottery system. Im not so sure if its tied to the dreamers with the wall. Theres no question that daca is a hot topic. When youre talking about the different constituencies, something to remember as you have people who are here that have been here legally that want to see others who will take that. The question continues to be whether or not we can take a path toward legal citizenship for dreamers and make it work with his base that have been interested in people who will take the legitimate path along with what he was elected for. If you look at the first year we have 70 reduction in illegal activity at the southern border. Racine that track for the wall. We do not have all of the funding in place. There are more questions than answers. Jillian it is not clear that we have any of the funding in place. I agree, you are right to point out that stricter immigration policy and border policy is the president s prerogative. He has a mandate at the core platform issue for him that got him elected. On friday the administration this 18 billion number for the wall seemed that best a High Mountain to climb between nine and january 19. So when he ties it to really for dreamers, seems like he same he doesnt really care. Theres Something Interesting about the funding, a lot of people thought we did not have the funding we needed for the wall. About a year ago, the president issued an executive order and it called for a series of prototypes to be vetted for potential construction for the wall. We saw that he got the necessary funding for those prototypes. Everything is on track. Whether its 5 billion or 18 billion, hes been able to incrementally receive the funding required. I would be surprised if thats not the next approach. You dont need every last dollar in this budget deadline but if he continues on the path he can continue with this in the longterm objective. He might find a way to make mexico pay for it after all. Jillian we will see about that. I want to get your take on whats happening on the ground in florida right now. Floridians will be hit hard if there is a government shutdown. The state is waiting for Disaster Relief in the wake of the atrocious hurricane season. Can you tell me what youre getting from folks there about what theyre feeling. Is there anxiety . I have detected zero anxiety. Our local economy is the strongest it has been. The local economy is stronger than that. Its healthier than that. The last time we had this growth in 2005 it was built on the housing bubble in south florida. That created an air of on sustainability in the Housing Market and economy. I was talking with the ceo on friday and what we have seen is that our local economies being built on tech jobs, not just service and tourism jobs. For funding i havent come across anybody concerned about a potential shutdown. We need to leave it there. Thanks for joining us. Jillian coming up after a show at 2 00 p. M. , Chris Wallace has an exclusive interview with former Trump Campaign manager. You dont want to miss that. Leland once a position in the government, lawmakers on both sides issuing directives for special counsel Robert Mueller. Caroline has what we know so far and what lawmakers say should be in the councils crosshairs. Democrats and republicans crank their hype over what the Justice Department should focus on in the russian investigation. Potential collusion in the Trump Campaign or how they handled information about the clinton campaign. Lindsey graham asked, why not both. If you believe Robert Mueller should be looking at the Trump Campaign, coming in. If you ignore the staff youre blind. Assuming. He means how information is coming from christopher seal. Hes behind the bombshell dossier put together be before the election. His research was partially funded by the clinton campaign. The fbi consider putting him on the payroll for more information. Grandma and others are complaining about how some officials favored Hillary Clinton over mr. Trump. There are also part of the Team Investigating the emails. Democrats blasted right back. I want a special counsel to look at not only how mr. Still conducted himself, with the fbi did with the dossier. And if the lead investigator in the clinton had a bias against trump to a point that is a sham investigation. If theyre investigating Hillary Clinton doesnt take it genius to see why. Will continue their investigation and whether led to any obstruction of justice. Leland we for the president and i those claims. Caroline, thank you. The Mueller Probe is supper from a pay to play investigation by the fbi that were just learning about. Looking at the Clinton Foundation their behavior. Joining us now is daniel hopper. Based on your reporting and looking at the clintons, what is the fbi to investigate right now . This appears to be narrowly focused. Its only about the time Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Was money given to the foundation where the money goes through the foundation to influence hillarys activities as secretary of state. The foundation has been around since bill clinton left the white house. Even before. The thing in everybodys mind goes to the iranian one deal. Either other things for other cases that people gave money to the Clinton Global Initiative and then got preferential treatment . When the emails came out during the campaign we saw people who gave money had a direct line to Hillary Clinton. There are examples of those who went through who in turn said, whom abbott in, here somebody would like you to meet with. That is in a way, standard and politics. The question is, did they give money that influenced the opinion. A little harder to pin down. You have the red and the quote a corruption investigation. There are not a lot of democrats rushing to the defense of the clintons. Although they are trying to make it not about the clintons and more about the president. Take a listen. Are these reports that the Justice Department at the president searching is now investigating Hillary Clinton again. That would be a violation of all protections put in place since watergate. No one should imagine that if that is the case the president will not patrick the Justice Department to badger anyone who runs against him in 2020. Leland for the president say that the clinton should be investigated. To have any idea if the Justice Department is investigating because of what the president said . Or they just happened . We dont know. We think that there might be some sort of connection. They do not say that clinton did no wrong, he is only attacking the basis for the investigation. Which is a difference in the campaign. In the Campaign Democrats were more willing to stick their heads out for the clintons. The clintons now are dead dynasty politically. You are seeing that in the democratic response. Jillian there is nobody coming to the clintons defense really. Even those were are making about the politics. Look forward here, talk with former Deputy Attorney general who said often times at the fbi and Justice Department youre damned if you do and damned if you dont. You know things were done wrong, at the same time if you open an investigation you will be accused of playing politics. Does that mean the u. S. Attorneys running this out of arkansas have to come up with something to prove it was not politics . Im not sure about that. I think there is certain pressure on them to find something. Whats weird about the position on this, he was suggesting there is corruption that hillary should be imprisoned. After the campaign there is a moment where he said i will give her a break. Then things heated up and he went back on the attack on her. If you think about the campaign then it moves through the people in the crowd were chanting. And now you are back to investigating the clintons. He has not quite gotten back to that angry corruption mind. It does wonders if he had information to change his mind, we dont know. It makes you curious. Leland there is a lot of emails for the fbi to go through. Good talking to you. Jillian pushing back against claims that President Trump is softening his stance on north korea, nikki haley affirms there is no turnaround for the Trump Administration on the issue. They remain committed to d nuclear i think the korean peninsula. Reporter hi jillian. The u. S. Ambassador to the united nations, Nikki Haley Says there may be a time when the u. S. Text or close north korea. Before that, north korea would have to stop its missile testing and be willing to talk about banning its nuclear weapons. Were trying to make sure we dont repeat whats happening less 25 years. His sensory attack like theyre coming to the table and ask for money and then cheat their way through. Working to make sure whatever happens makes the United States safer and we denuclearize the peninsula. This house comments by trump yesterday that he would be willing to talk to north korea leader, kim jongun. The u. S. Has a very firm stance toward the kingdom. The president and leaders met yesterday to discuss the agenda for the year. That included a briefing by james mattis. Trump said it will be a great thing for all of humanity if a peaceful solution could come out of talks with leader kim jongun. He knows im not messing around. Im not missing around, not even a little bit. He understands that. And iran, the revolutionary guards says that it has ended antigovernment protests that began on december 20. Protesters rallied against price hikes, high on them i on appointment and corruption. They blame the u. S. , saudi arabia and others for the protests. The cia director denies. False. This was the iranian people. Started by them. Created by them. Continue by them, demanding a better set of Living Conditions and a break from the regime that has been with them since 1979. 21 people were killed and hundreds arrested. Jillian thank you, molly. Leland chinese rescue official said a crew of an Iranian Oil Tanker is missing after it collided with a boat and caught fire. It happened just off the chinese eastern close. You can see pictures from the korean coast. They set vessels to the scene and sets out a ship to look for the missing sailors. Leland after the break, another day, another multimillion Dollar Lottery winner. Why not. Will tell you where the 570 milliondollar winner comes from. After frigid Winter Weather causes delays will find out if its getting any better. And a tv legend who leaves behind a legacy of laughter. G n. Youre smart. You already knew that. But its also great for finding the perfect used car. Youll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. Now youre even smarter. This is truecar.

We did not win the mega millio millions. The snow cleared out of new york. Travel delays linger on in some cities. Passengers are facing major wait times, tempers are flaring mess mistakes lead to more slowdown. Brian yunus is all over that story for us. Im so delighted to see you are inside. Thank you. A travel nightmare and a deepfreeze is a combination too bad we can. At one point the Port Authority of new york and new jersey with operates had to stop planes from arriving at jfk. Chapters were stuck on the tarmac and airplanes for 3 20 hours yesterday. No bathrooms, no water and no food. People slept in the airport for two days. There is a backlog of flights following the storm on thursday. Went to many fights landed at the same time overwhelming the system there were not enough gates. They had to bring in portable staircases to get people off the plane and on buses to bring them to their terminals. Then another nightmare baggage claim. Many left without the baggage or arrived at their destinations to find out their banks never made it. This following occlusion between two passenger airplanes that collided on the tarmac yesterday. Nobody was injured. Ninetyfour flights were canceled and 74 flights diverted. The Port Authority says things are improving. Jfks runways and taxiways are fully operational. Airlines in recovery mode rebooking passengers and reuniting them with their luggage. Theres equipment failures and slower than usual operations. There might be delays a particularly for international flights. The cold temperatures of excess far as south carolina, georgia and alabama. More freezing rain could make for icy roads tomorrow making travel treacherous. The Football College game will be in atlanta tomorrow. Were talking about negative to a boston, 4 degrees in pittsburgh. The temperatures will get better, the 30s. Thank you brian. Im a new yorker, just want to say i am not taking jfk word at face value. Thank you for the report. Leland the longtime actor and comedy legend, Jerry Van Dyck has died. [inaudible] i was van dyck in the sitcom, yes, dear. His older brother, legendary Dick Van Dyck in that comedic giants author worked to bring us so many laughs. Jerry van dyck was 86 years old. For a free sample call 1877gettena. Vof hundreds of families, hese hmost proud of the one the heads hes kept over his own. Brand vo get paid twice as fast with quickbooks smart invoicing. Quickbooks. Backing you. Woman im a fighter. Always have been. When i found out i had agerelated macular degeneration, amd, i wanted to fight back. My doctor and i came up with a plan. It includes preservision. Only Preservision Areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula recommended by the National Eye Institute to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd backed by 15 years of clinical studies. Thats why i fight. Because its my vision. Preservision. It seems to come every hour almost. Fallout from the book, fire them. Now, former white house steve bannon says he regrets is still a in speaking out about inaccurate reporting. He does not make clear what he thinks is inaccurate. He also says my support is unwavering for the president and his agenda. As i have shown daily in speeches and appearances from tokyo, hong kong and alabama. Bring in our radio show host you used to work with him and he has insights here. As much as anyone can have insight into the personality as you read the statement he issued a few first ask, is this about him being regretful and feeling he needs to apologize or is he trying to find a way to save his job . If he was genuinely sorry he wouldve jumped on one of his xm radio programs will utilize the power paper news to make the statement. Thats what was strange. But brandon has not disputed the quotes. I dont think the president would have made that completely unwavering attack against been in the way he did if there is any guesswork involved. Any doubt that anna and say what he said. This looks like damage control. It could be a reaction to the breitbart board saying you have to fix this. I dont see how it exists with this type of animosity. Are how breitbart exists was steve bannon. This brings up a crisis question and a friend said if youre going to eat pork, enjoy it. A jewish friend i would say. If you are going to apologize, why not just cannot say i was wrong, sorry. Versus this class minefield of an apology. I think maybe he knows their tapes and notes that this is accurate reporting. Apology beats to take into account that will could come back with more. Also maybe he is the original honey badger but i dont think he has a good idea of how to get out of something this size. All he has done is extend the story. He is a said that anything he said was misquoted. Its difficult to say it is a work of fiction. But then steve bannon is apologizing for. Leland this was the quote from trumpet up. I had to put up with a fake news since i announced i was running witfor president. Now i have to put up with a fake book. Ronald reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So i. When you have a book like this, does it help the president to keep fighting back against this . I think the president played it right. I do not think it was right to threaten the publisher of a lawsuit. People can put out books however they want. Many of us on the center right, we begged president george w. Bush to fight back against the media and critics like this. He never did. Its great to have the president push back and fight, but reaches a point and i think it has now, ive said everything i need to say, its fake and ridiculous an hour going to move on. By the way check your 4o1k, its looking good. He stated that. Alex, youre shaking her head. Democrats seem to not really figure out how to respond to this book. The way to respond is to step back, that steve bannon say his peace, but trump say what he will say, extend the story and create the chaos theyre creating now. Going into an incredibly complex showdown on the hill around spending, this is not increasing the leverage that Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan need to get something pass the finish line first spending bill. It does take steve bannon and breitbart off the table. It protects trumpet in an weird way. It could help the republican establishment where than anything else. For those who really loved what anna and had to say, they should be the angriest right now. Those other people who go to that website. Why did steve bannon give this exclusive to him . Give it to website let them get the traffic. Maybe theres something to that. Been in trying to save himself. Its good to see you. Thank you. Jillian irans revolutionary guard corps claims they brought them into the antigovernment protest across the country and pointing a finger at the United States and its allies. Asserting the u. S. Is masterminding these protests occurring halfway across the globe. Were following the latest details life in the mideast bureau. This antigovernment protest in iran losing steam. It appears to be over for now. The revolutionary guard claiming victory in a statement in blaming the recent unrest [inaudible] the Economic Situation but on the United States, israel and saudi arabia. At least will people buy and 1700 people coming out of iran made mostly Young Students were arrested. Unemployment is really high. The main complaint for the demonstrators is the state of the economy plagued by corruption in the low price of oil. The protests were not just started by young protesters but conservative critics of the current government. In recent days government supporters have taken to the streets in support of the government. Large rallies have sprung up. We are now seeing a question of what happens next. Does this bring about any change . Leland from iran to north korea, the dictator is reopening channels with his nations neighbor to the south. Why President Trump is claiming credit. With a replacement you can trust. All done sir. Grandpa looks great tech thanks for choosing safelite. Grandpa thank you child bye tech bye saving you time. So you can keep saving the world.

Jillian President Trump suggested earlier that his tough stance on north korea that prompted the upcoming talks slated to happen on tuesday. Unit pastor nikki haley added that the president comments show strength and are helping to keep the world safer. Were not going to let them grow and dramatize the fact that they have a button on their desk. We want to remind them that we can destroy you too. Thats fair. Dont think people would argue that. This is dean, Senior Research fellow at the heritage foundation. Im eager to talk to that i didnt even introduce you. Welcome. What you make of these comments couple the comments the president made yesterday where he said the north and south were not even be talking if it were pay for the United States our involvement. Its dangerous to give motivation to anything north korea does. Talks were suspended for two years. They have started again. Certainly sense President Trump seems to have a somewhat selfcentered view of the world. Im not surprised to take the credit for himself. Jillian he also said yesterday in response that the United States would get involved in these talks. We take on an active role when the time is right. What is that mean . I think thats consistent, we want to let soul take the lead in at the end of the day, the korean situation, were allied but we are not the determine her of whether there will be peace on the peninsula. I think thats a important reminder. Every administration is a key player, we are not the arbiters of what happens between those two nations. But what you make, the president has now agreed and secretary mattis has agreed to delay these previous scheduled drills on the peninsula was south korea until after the olympics. Is that a concession . If the North Koreans are going to throughout a positive action like reopening the hotline, it serves American Interest to coordinate and make it clear we will not be stoking the fires. Its also important to recognize there is an alliance and combine structure. It doesnt happen before the olympics we should see them in full force after the olympics. Maybe not a concession but a calculation that based on will give a little. You do want the olympics to occur in a positive environment. The North Koreans have the ability to disrupt or threaten the olympics. At the end of the day its a minor timing issue. Jillian one final question, if the north manages to get their athletes to participate, which i think is a longshot according to experts, does that provide us with the rest of the world the security advantage . Would they be less likely to start trouble of their athletes are participating . Maybe. On the other hand weve had incidents where olympic athletes have defected. So if they chose not to go home at the end of the day you could wind up with the situation thats worse off. Jillian thats interesting. Ive not thought about that. Well talk to soon. Leland the attorney generals decision will allow federal marijuana laws to be in force. Now some states in Legal Marijuana businesses playing defense. Whats next in that debate in california .

But theres confusion as to how they will be infused eight states and the District Of Columbia has legalized it including california. Sales started in San Francisco and democrats say there will ready to take on the Trump Administration. We have another barrier. Theres also hurdles and barriers with Jeff Sessions who wants to take us back to the 1950s. He does not know what will hit him in terms of bipartisan backlash against his ridiculous announcement. That, the response that said that their ditching and obama era approach that has a handsoff policy. They shoot a statement that says the submission of the doj to enforce the laws of the u. S. This undermines the law and our ability to carry out this mission. Republican cory gardner takes issue with that. The conversation we had those specifically about this issue of states rights in colorado until he lives up to that commitment of beholding all nominations for the department of justice. The question now is how will it impact recreational pot businesses. Most are taking a waitandsee approach. Both republicans and democrats are outrage.
