Wall street is set to reopen this morning after suffering the worst Christmas Eve declines ever. And its been just a terrible december. Markets fell after the Trump Administration sent out confusing signals about markets and the economy and liquidity in the financial system.

And Yamiche Alcindor and msnbc political analyst Eugene Robinson is with all of us. Joe is awake and it was a tough night. It was ugly. It was ugly. Willie, lets set the record straight. Clemson is the best team in College Football by a long shot. Oh, my lord i dont want to get overdramatic but last night did seem like the changing of the guard. This was an alabama team that has spent a decade dominating others. This reminded me an awful lot of 1992 and alabama won their First National championship in, you know, about a decade and a half. And they just humiliated the miami hurricanes and the program wasnt ever the same. Im not saying thats whats going to happen here, but it sure felt like the changing of the guards in College Football last night. Well, on the up side, joe, you look chipper this morning because you could go to bed in the third quarter, which i did, too. He does. He did not. Trevor lawrence, a teenager, a freshman, was absolutely incredible against one of the best defens
Right to you. Abby phillip is at the white house today. It sounds like the president had some sharp woods today for a number of targets. Reporter thats exactly right, the president not really holding back on a number of different topics. He talked fed chairman Jerome Powell who hes been attacking in recent days for his decision to raise Interest Rates. Hes also talking about the Government Shutdown and the border wall, reiterating hes not going to settle for Border Security, he still wants his wall. He talked about a number of other topics, from james comey to his favorite words, no collusion. This is a president , even on christmas morning, not letting go of a number of different topics that have been in the news in recent days. Here he is now, you can listen to him yourself. Very talented guy, very smart. Reporter what about the fed chairman . Well see. Theyre raising Interest Rates too fast, thats my opinion. I shouldnt have confidence. Theyre raising rates too fast because they thi

Nickehols at the white house an Pete Williams with what to expect in court today. Hans, i guess the white house couldnt even get Mitch Mcconnell to endorse the plan. I guess any suggestion that this was aimed at bringing the two sides together went away quickly when he bashed democrats yesterday when he was announcing it. But even if this is just about 2020 messaging. Why roll out something that doesnt even have unvarnished support from his own partys leaders . Well, chris, the white house want a place holder and all do this a north star on policy, somewhere they wantteresting ab not an attempt to bring republicans on board. The president put out his immigration policy and you guys didnt really cover it and gives them an opportunity to come back at us and the press. Also very interesting to see just how much president ial rhetoric gets defended, gets spent on defending this plan versus talking about what he likes to talk about, which is building the wall.
