Good morning to you. There could be a lot more red arrows on wall street today due to turmoil in china. For the second time this week, trading in chinas markets was halted after stocks tumbled more than 7 , triggering automatic circuit breakers. The markets have gone up and down as chinese regulators gradually withdraw emergency measures imposed after stocks plunged in june. The selloff there spreading to the rest of asia, and european markets today. Its also pulling down oil prices, off another 5 this morning to levels not seen since the early 2000s on concerns about a lack of global demand. Meanwhile, macys is cutting 4800 jobs and closing 40 stores after reporting dismal holiday sales. About 2700 of those cuts are store employees. Although, some will be relocated.

All right, landon, thank you. For the first time after dozens of unsuccessful attempts, congress has sent an Obamacare Repeal bill to the president s desk. Tracie potts is live in washington for us this morning. And tracie, the president has already made clear hes going to veto it. But is this still a victory for republicans . Well, they certainly seem to be calling it that, shannon. I mean, they have tried for years, dozens of times, to get this done. This time the senate kicked in, and thats why its been sent to the president s desk. But youre right, its a sure veto. And there dont seem to be enough votes here to override that. The motion is adopted. Reporter republicans are celebrating today after finally sending the president an ultimatum. A bill to repeal obamacare. This marks a significant step in the fight for patientcentered health care for all americans. Reporter democrats call it political theater and a waste of time. Everybody knows that this will take about a nano second for the president of the United States to veto. Exercise something your constitutional right and power to legislate is never wasted if were fighting for principles your constituents believe in. Reporter the bill would also strip millions from planned parenthood, after kvds argued taxpayers should not fund a group that performs abortions. People have waited for years for this moment to destroy a bill to put 22 Million People out of reach of medical care. Reporter there dont appear to be enough votes in either the house or senate to override the president s veto. Ultimately this is going to require a republican president. We can do much better. We will do much better. Reporter republicans are promising to outline a Replacement Health plan by the end of the year.

The birther issue is back, thanks to donald trump. Ted cruz is once again defending himself about whether hes actually eligible to run for president. Cruz was born in calgary, canada, but his mom was born in delaware, an american citizen making cruz one, too. Most legal experts agree that makes him a naturalborn citizen as required by the constitution. Trump has used the birther argument before, against president obama. Thats why yesterday White House Press secretary josh earnest called it ironic that gop voters could eventually nominate cruz. But its not just democrats, senator john mccain, the 2008 gop nominee, has his doubts. And he was born in a u. S. Territory in panama. Yeah, it was a u. S. Military base. Yeah. Thats different from being born on foreign soil. So they think i think there is a question. Im not a constitutional scholar on that. But i think its worth looking into. I dont think its illegitimate to look into it. Republican rhetoric was a big topic of discussion at a Nevada Democratic party dinner cohosted by Senate Minority leader harry reid last night. Insulting each other wont solve anything. You cannot make our country great by tearing our people down. There is one democrat who wishes he was up on that stage. Vice president joe biden, talking to our nbc affiliate in connecticut. Sure i regretted every day, but it was the right decision for my family and for me, and plan on staying deeply involved, and weve got two good candidates. The next Republican Debate is one week from tonight. There are rising doubts about north koreas claim to have detonated a Hydrogen Bomb. Most experts say the explosion felt from the detonation simply wasnt large enough for it to have been a Hydrogen Bomb explosion. Early estimates put the power of the explosion at a few kilo tons, compared to this, the first u. S. Test of a Hydrogen Bomb in 1952, which had 10. 4 mega tons of power, or about 1,000 times more. Some experts are suggesting that the North Koreans actually detonated an atomic bomb made of uranium or plutonium enhanced with a small amount of hydrogen gas which would make the explosion larger and could lead them to call it a test of a Hydrogen Bomb. North korea is the only nation that has tested a nuclear bomb since 1998. Yesterday, United Nations secretarygeneral ban kimoon condemned the test saying it violated several u. N. Resolutions and destabilizes the security in the region. Right now another el ninofuelled storm is hammering large parts of california with soaking rains, burying roadways with floodwater and mud.

California continues to be the bullseye of all our storms over the last week or two and it will continue. The big one we just showed you pictures from the top of the show, that is now moving into arizona. Still some leftover heavy rains but all the problems with mudslides, debris flows and any flash flooding is pretty much ended. One strong cell that exited los angeles. But this should be diminishing. We have flash flood watches from san diego just outside of los angeles. Those will be expiring as we go throughout the morning. So the snowfall forecast, as that storm moves into arizona, heavy snow, northern arizona, a nice coating of fresh powder for the weekend, telluride, colorado springs, even denver.

That will guarantee an even stronger, better, more prosperous america for our kids. The america we believe in. Another world leader, british Prime Minister, might be wishing he could take this one back. A slight slipup during parliaments weekly questioning. Since ive become Prime Minister income equality has actually fallen whereas it went up under labor. Those are the facts. Did you catch it there. His party even tweeted it out. Income equality, instead of inequality, mistakenly giving credit to the rival party, of course. This tweet has since been deleted. Checking in on a third world leader, russian president Vladimir Putin on ice again, catching up on some hockey yesterday in sochi. Just throw that in there for you. Last night on the late show, Stephen Colbert asking rand paul the tough questions. What about drug policy reform . Youre not going to talk about pot, are you . Are you a cop . Because if youre a cop you have to tell me that youre a cop or this is entrapment. I thought we said before we would not talk about pot, stephen. You tried to sell me pot backstage. No. That was im sorry, you tried to sell me on the idea of changing sentencing guidelines for pot. I should have said the entire sentence. I love it. Hilarious. So that is your morning dish of scrambled politics. Lets bring in political analyst and bestselling author Ellis Henican a special treat on a thursday. What are you trying to sell me . He was funny. I love it. We have so much to talk about. Were going to start with a topic i know you love here, trump and cruz going at it, because there was a time when they were pals. Now thats gone. The birther thing . Yes, the birther thing. I thought we were done with that with obama, right . Well no, were bringing it back again. And of course cruz, who was born in canada, is really considered by most scholars here to be a naturalized citizen because his mother was american. He seems to be. But did you notice who was poking at him. John mccain who weighs in on this who himself was born in panama, but in a military base. On a military base. Heres the backup youve got to understand, most other republicans in the senate are not particularly fond of ted cruz. So hes just taking a shot . So he found a little way to make a shot. My situation is completely different. Nothing like cruz. I dont know, its a legitimate question to ask. Its not the kind of thing you say about a fellow politician that you like. So i think thats really the undercurrent there. Its kind of funny, actually. Its a little bit silly. Is it going to go on or is this just going to be the weekly cycle and we dont hear im not sure its done. Listen, theres so many opponents, so many people to poke at you, so its going to come up again, probably. All right, lets talk a little bit about Hillary Clinton here and actually about north korea. Were slowly getting more details here on what exactly it was that they were doing. Is this going to be a problem for her . It plays a couple of different ways. I mean, certainly it gives the republican opponents a chance to beat up on obama, which has some sidestream impact on her. But you look at hillary, she was the secretary of state, shes clearly a serious person used to dealing with complex issues. The more that voters feel like, hey, the world is a dangerous place, you know, who do you wouldnt to turn to at a time like that . So im not sure its a negative, but you know, its got so many angles in it that, hey, a lot to talk about. Its going to have to address it at some point. Ellis henican, thank you much.

Its what you do. If you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Where are you . Its very loud there. Are you taking a zumba class . Does a freshly printed fill you with optimism . Then you might be gearcentric. Right now, its like paying just 9. 99 after rewards for this case of paper office depot officemax. Gear up for great. At ally bank no branches equals great rates. Its a fact. Kind of like reunions equal blatant lying. The company is actually doing really well on, on social media. Oh thats interesting.

Leslie just broke my dress. Okay. So, well, its not like nobody here hasnt already seen my boobs. Got to own that moment. Thats the way to play it. Doesnt it make you wonder . Did they plan that . No you dont think so . If they planned it, it would have really malfunctioned. Well played. Im shannon mulaire, this is first look on msnbc. Way too early starts right now. In my view it is unacceptable that americans are paying four or five dollars in fees every time they go to an atm. Yes lower atm fees and thats just the beginning.

Plus, a scandal brewing in michigan over the citys water, after an internal email claim that residents who claimed of lead were basically being ignored. Its 5 30 on the east coast, 2 30 out west.
