Right now. Eric you know something . I was on the day the book dropped and it immediately went to the New York Times bestseller. Harris we gave her lots of love. Rachel i got stopped by someone in wisconsin who set im reading erics book. Eric she fired the first shot. Before he came on, someone tweeted jillian and said feel free to smack him. Harris lets begin with the news. As we await possible remarks from lawmakers, Jared Kushner spending a second straight day on capitol hill. This time, and front of house intelligence, answering questions about russian meddling and the truth about moscow campaign. Yesterday, the president s soninlaw was adamant that neither he nor anyone else did anything wrong and he took a shot at critics who believe that the president did not win fair and square. Watch. Let me be very clear. I did not collude with russia, nor do i know of anyone else in the campaign who did so. I had no improper contacts. Donald trump had a better message and ran a smarter campa
Look into that. But we start with healthcare. Congresswoman karen bass is a democrat of california, she has a degree in Health Sciences and used to work as a physician assistant. Thank you for being with me this morning, congresswoman. Thanks for having me on. The senate is still trying all kinds of last minute efforts to really get some kind of vote on a healthcare bill were seeing from published reports. Tell us what this healthcare bill that they have proposed in this last display, what it means to the average person in this country watching this. Well, i think it means an awful lot. I think it means life or death to look at it seriously. Its not just the fact that over 30 Million People will lose their healthcare, even people who have employerbased healthcare will lose benefits. So preexisting conditions, for example, or healthcare caps, when i worked in the emergency room in los angeles i had patients come in because their Insurance Company had cut them off after their chemotherap
Immigration deal. I do not trust him at all. The question now is will the majority leader honor that commitment, and i think hes under a lot of pressure to do so. A new report says fbi director wray threatened to quit. Its 100 donald trump will tell me one thing thats wrong. I dont get it. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. This is new day. January 23rd, 6 00 in new york. Heres our starting line. The shutdown is over for now. President trump signed a shortterm spending bill reopening the u. S. Government. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees head back to work after their threeday hiatus. The senate will negotiate in the coming weeks. They now face backlash from their liberal members. So what concession did democrats get to end the stalemate . They got a deal to make a deal maybe. The truth is the dems got spooked and the gop got a boost because the division that leads to a political shutdown is currency for them. They only funded the governm
In fact, you and i talked about john bolton. Another man that comes in this this reputation as a hardnosed, no nonsense guy. That said, your job has to be to create consensus, right . You want to be the person that can obviously use your power of persuasion to skew others. He has to get the job done and work like folks like you mentioned, jim mattis who expressed concern about working with the ambassador. But he says now working with him wont be an issue. Theres no outward concerns about boltons appointment, others are questioning the wisdom of the president s selection. I think his last choice for National Security adviser was very illadvised. I think john bolton has been the worst mistake hes made. Hes advocated going to work preemptively against north korea, iraq and iran. I think that is particularly illadvised. The National Security adviser is the most listened to advice that a president gets. But i still think that our country can overcome it. Another key stakeholder in this, of
