If they turn that up just a little bit, my head is going to explode. Keep us warm. It will warm you all up. Who had the most fun last night . Who the least sleep of anyone . We did the one on one and i took Giada De Laurentiis out for some partying. And then what about work . It happened to be a camera crew. We got to attend the ceremony. That was a first for me. Like real people we sat at one of the tables surrounded by all the stars as they were winning and not winning. We were there to watch the reactions. I did a little behind the scenes. It was great how they got out there on the stage and the presenters. I had some great access, unprecedented. It was a lot of fun. We learned something very interesting. When you attend the ceremony, dinner is served at 3 30 in the afternoon. Matt and i were waiting and waiting. They gave some chocolates. I thought surely theyre going to serve it at this point. Then they brought along this little plate at finger sandwiches and then realized there was no dinner and then she ate the entire plate. It was meant for the whole dinner. They were like this big. Lot of wine and not much food. Weve got it all covered for you, hangovers and all. Well hear from the winners, surprise guest that earned a standing ovation and well show you what happened behind the scenes, too. Well take a look at all the fashion at an event like this. A lot of time weve spent talking about the winner. This year, fashionistas say the men stole the show. Who shined the brightest. You two were very dapper, i would say, as well. You guys included in that list. Thank you. Of course, you do a little bonding as we like to do. Coming up, well show you what happened when the four of us took to the beach on segways. It looks so summer like, doesnt it . With scarves and blaventh blankets and gloves. We got to the beach and they said youre here on the coldest day. Great time. The highlights from last nig nights 70th annual golden globe awards. Take a look. And the golden globe goes to argo. The Biggest Surprise of the night came courtesy of argo. This is what i do. The story of the reallife cia rescue of the american hostages in iran. It landed best picture in a drama, beating out Steven Spielberg and lincoln. I truly to god never thought i would be in the same breath as them. One for the history books, Les Miserables took best supporting actress. Thank you for this lovely blunt object that i will forever more use as a weapon against self doubt. Whats your name . Django. Another big winner django unchained, quentin tear tarantino. Surprise guest had audience on their feet. In lincoln we see a far better guide for future president s. Lincoln came into the globes leading with seven nominations. It won only one award, Daniel Day Lewis as best actor in a drama. You cant run a Global Network of interconnected cells from a cave. Jessica chastain won best actress for zero dark thirty and Jennifer Lawrence took best actress in the quirky endearing film Silver Linings playbook. Harvey, thank you for hakillg whoever you had to kill to get me up here today. From the minute he stepped off that plane. Homeland winning best drama series while claire danes took the top awards. I admitted to everyone on our show early on in the season that i was with child. That carrie was, in fact, carrying. And they were also so supportive. Everyone from our benevolent boss at fox and showtime to the Costume Designer who took my pants out every damn week. Trendy brooklyn hipsteres took top honors. Girls won best actress. It took a village to raise this very demeanted child and i hope that everyone who was involved feels while the girl we watched grow up on the screen took the cecil b. Demil. Im just going to put it out there, right . Loud and proud, right . Im going to need your support on this. I am, uh, single. I hope youre not disappointed that there wont be a big coming out speech tonight because i already did my coming out about 1,000 years ago. While they didnt take home any statues last night marked the first time two female presenters hosted the Golden Globes, amy poehler and tina fey. The hunger games was one of the biggest films of the year and also the six weeks it took me to get into this dress. Ang lee has been directed for the best director for the life of pi, which is what im going to call the next six weeks after i take this dress off. They were great, by the way. The only complaint i had about amy and tina is that we didnt see more of them. Yeah. I would have liked to have seen them on stage more often. They were that funny. Talking about her private life, jodi foster hinted at a retirement from acting. Ill never be up on the stage aga again, on any stage for that matter. Change, youve got to love it. I will continue to tell stories, to move people, the greatest job in the world. From now on i may be holding a different talking stick. Then a couple of minutes later she put an end to those retirement rumors while she was backstage saying she would still act and direct, adding you would have to drag her behind a team of horses before she slowed down. What did we think about her speech . It was long and it was intense. Powerful. A lot for everybody. A lot of different topics covered. It was very moving when she talked about her mother. A lot of people in the audience were tearing up at that moment. It was very, very touching. Seems to me she was talking about privacy. She has always been an intensely private person. When she talked about this coming out idea, she says i have lived my life the way i wanted to live it since i can remember and if people dont like that fact that i dont talk about it a lot, tough. Im entitled to my privacy. She says dont we get enough of reality tv . Shes lived 47 years on camera. Shes like, that was my reality tv. Youve seen me grow up in front of a lens. Shes written about it, in fact, about what Young Hollywood has to put up with, now something she wouldnt want to. People on twitter, lot of celebrities and regular folks, kind of exploded if she was retiring that this was just a horrible thing. In fact, jodi foster, you are perfection. I love you. Jodi foster is an inspiration, incredible speaker, so moving. She got a lot of great reviews on that. She did. Congratulations to her. Well have much more coming up, including a behind the scenes look of how the night comes together, courtesy of natalie. Lets head to new york to get the other top stories of the morning. Willie geist is hold iing back down the fort back in new york. Exactly one month since the dead deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in connecticut. Some of the families of the victims want their voices heard on gun violence. Michael izsikoff joins us. Reporter they will speak out about the steps they believe should be taken to prevent such tragedies in the future but even here in newtown theres no consensus about what should be done. I want to see it come out as a place of change. Reporter one month after the sandy hook shooting, residents of newtown, young and old, and the families of some of the victims, want their voices heard. 6yearold noah pozner was the youngest victim. His grandmother. He had the right to get married, to have a job, a normal life and i think that right is more important than the right to own a highdevelvelocity weapon reporter as Vice President biden prepares to unveil sweeping gun proposals this week, newtowns police chief has a message for the white house. Ban assault weapons. Restrict those magazines that have so many bullets in them. Reporter one of the First Responders that day says the gunman, adam lanza, had more fire power than his officers, bushmaster assaultstyle rifle, two handguns and multiple 30round magazines. Even in newtown, there are sharp divisions about guns. Down the road from the Sandy Hook School is the National Shooting sports foundation, which this week holds its annual show in vegas. It has posted on its website semi automatic firearms are now the most popular type of firearm in america and are used for a wide variety of legitimate sporting purposes and personal defense. They should not be banned. The group called Sandy Hook Promise that is holding todays press conference plans to call for a National Conversation about gun violence, about Mental Health and school safety. But some of those involved say they have concerns that the white house may be moving too fast on these issues without first hearing from the families of the victims. Willie . Michael isikoff in newtown, connecticut, this morning. Thanks. Vice President Joe Biden meets with house members today as part of his effort to prevent gun violence. He is expected to make his recommendations on the issue to the president tomorrow. Congress is unlikely to pass an assault weapons ban. Me meanwhile on meet the press sunday, former secretary of state colin powell said the Republican Party is having an identity crisis. General powell, republican himself, also slammed his party for having a, quote, dark vein of intolerance. New information this morning that the United States was involved in a failed rescue attempt in somali friday. President obama said u. S. Forces provided, quote, limited tech nknick al support to french troops in their bid to rescue an intelligence agent being held ho hostage there. French intelligence says they believe the officer is dead. Have you felt a little empty inside since, say, 2006 . Be prepared to be whole again because sexy is back. Justin timberlake releasing his first song in six years with a little help from jayz. The track is called suit tie. Jayz and timberlake together t hit itunes overnight. It is now 7 13. We send it back to matt, savannah and al in Beverly Hills. Its cold out there. A lot of us around here will hit the beach after the show. About 6 0 degrees, sunny in new york. Thank you for rubbing it in. You enjoy that. Were going to release a new song called suit and tie and sweater and blankets when you cant see us and everything else. Will thank you very much. And how about a little bit of weather . Nothing like a fine wine. Anyway, lets show you what weve got you think were complaining about weather, weve got friends that have real weather to complain about. Down in the south theyve got heavy rain and ice and snow to contend with. Look at the watches and warnings that are up. Were talking about flood watches, winter storm watches, ice storm warnings and flash flood watches stretching from texas all the way to tennessee and over the next 72 hours, were going to be looking at that heavy rain making its way through the southeast and icy conditions. In fact, were looking up to a quarter of an inch of ice stretching from shreveport on up into tennessee. Rainfall amounts anywhere from three to five inches from jackson all the way up into asheville. Thats whats going on. But first heres whats happening with a message for you. [ male announcer ] lets take every drop of courage, every ounce of inspiration, every bit of determination, and go where weve never gone before. Introducing the radically new avalon. Toyota. Lets go places. Sunrise at 7 14. Its now 7 15. The coldest point of the day. 24 degrees. Chilly in gilroy this morning. 35 in sunnyvale. Upper 20s popping up in wine country right now. Grab your coat. Youll need it all day long. Temperatures warming into the low 50s. Tomorrow well climb by five degrees. An additional five degrees of climbing into wednesday and by the end of the week mid to upper 60s on the way. Thats your latest weather. Now lets go to hey, how about savannah . Al, thank you. Well have more on the Golden Globes in a moment. First, a rare interview with justice the first hispanic and third woman to join the high court. Now shes releasing her memoir entitled my beloved world. There is, of course, very little she can say about the issues coming before the court. When we caught up with her, we tried. We did ask about some recent divisions in the court over some of its toughest cases. Do you think that its bad for the credibility of the court as an institution that people have the perception that it is splitting along partisan or ideological lines . Yes. If i believe that that was the reason for the split, which i dont. The fact that theres a split makes it clear that there are different ways of looking at the situation and that the answer is not a slam dunk. But it is true that often the socalled liberals on the court side with one another and theres a conservative ideological block and the court sometimes fractures down those lines. It doesnt fracture down those ideological lines. It fractures more often on your basic interpretive approach. How can you judge a case about affirmative action impartially when you, yourself, have acknowledged really benefiting from some of those policies . The initial plans that i was a beneficiary of were very different. They said to schools and employers, you cant limit your hiring from pools that are segregated. The plans that the courts were dealing with over time were plans that had fixed quotas, plans that specify that certain numbers of minorities had to be taken in to schools. When i call myself an affirmative action baby, im talking about the essence of what affirmative action was when it started. Is there still a need for it today . Theres still a need for people to be sensitive to the fact that they feel more comfortable with people who look like them. And that you have to be conscious about the way in which the structures you put into place will limit the opportunities for others. Do you think its good for the democratic process for the court to be deciding these big social issues of the day . I dont think of us the democratic process as being a static one where the court announces and that ends the dialogue. The court announces and the dialogue begins, and the approach, in some institutes, has to be changed. But the society manages to do it. Do you look forward to those big consequential cases . Oh, my god look forward to them . I dont think you can say anyone looks forward to controvsy. I think the day a justice forgets that each decision comes at a cost to someone, then i think you start losing your humanity. Sotomayors memoir is very personal, very candid. We talked to her about her life and what she learned over the years. Thats coming up tomorrow on today. Thats going to be fascinating. Meanwhile, whining does work. Now were inside. By the fire. It is a faux fire. Not one ounce of heat coming from it. Still whining. Geez one of the biggest parties of the year right here in hollywood. We were delighted to host that red carpet special. I think everybody can say here that everybody last night looked absolutely amazing. With the show now over, the allimportant fashion recap can begin in full. Were at the Golden Globes, matt. Its like a celebrity fashion super store. Everyone who walked the red carpet sunday night started with today. Going to the today show. Walking down with high fashion, classic black as well as elegance in white. This girl is on fire this girl is on fire but it was also an evening of color. This girl is on fire this girl is on fire and red, appropriate for the red carpet, stole the show. But on this night of stars, shimmery, glittery and sparkly was also in vogue. And even though on this 50degree night staying warm was on the minds of many im freezing. Im really cold. Skin still an acceptable accessory. The guys were on full display as well. Do a manly turn. Thats about as manly as i get. Armani seemed to be the favorite. Giorgio armani. Armani. Im armani. He gave me a bow tie. I was fiddling with it and i couldnt get it right and i gave up. To go bow tie or regular. Not to be out done, our today show crew put our best fashion foot forward. Im wearing xania tonight and im mad for plaid. Fashion, beauty and fun. Red carpet, we came, we saw, we froze. We conquered. Complaining, really, 36 hours if you count the segment on saturday. 4 30 in the afternoon, boy did it get chilly. More on the nights headturning looks. Thats right. And natalie hangs out backstage at the Golden Globes. What you didnt see on the air. But first this is today on nbc. Still ahead, a look at the fashion at the Golden Globes. And savannahs pretty woman hollywood adventure. Sure dont . [ nyquil bottle ] dude [ female announcer ] tylenol® cold multisymptom nighttime relieves nasal congestion. It is 7 26. Good morning. Im jon kelley. All this cold weather is bad news for hundreds of seniors at san jose apartment complex. They are without hot water. Residents of the town park powers on third street have been without hot water for more than a month. Most are elderly or disabled. They say theyve had problems just getting hot water since december 3rd. Some tenants say theyve caught a few moments of hot or warm water but not long enough for a quick hot shower. Its not healthy. I dont like it. Its not healthy thing to be doing. Washing dishes in cold water. You wont get rid of bacteria. A representative for the complex says they are having problem with the solar system and replacement boiler is providing hot water during the time but residents we talked to say the water is still simply cold. Speaking of cold or frigid or free freezing or whatever you want to talk about, that looks nice but its deceiving.

President bill clinton introducing lincoln over 18,000 tweets there. Ben affleck winning best director for argo. 200 mentions of jodi foster. 400,000 mentions of amy and tina. And i bet you they were probably all complimentary. They did a great job. I think the reviews should be really good. Its a hard job because you have that big open which everybody judges you on and then for a long period in the show you kind of disappear and leave it up to the celebrity presenters and but when they did come back, i thought they had an impact. I thought they had great lines. Hit that aeir mark. Globes pretty paired down, not a lot of song and dance. Seth meyers was out there, helping them out, helping them to write jokes.

Ive been fortunate to win on golfs biggest stages. But when joint pain and stiffness from Psoriatic Arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. I finally understood what serious joint pain is like. I talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. Enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for Heart Failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. Ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine trying to find a better job can likbe frustrating.

Every time the hosts of the today show complain about the cold while sitting in Beverly Hills, its a shot. A lot of people calling in drunk this morning because of it. All right. Lets get to the news. A royal announcement that the duke and duchess of cambridge are expecting their baby in july. The palace issued the statement on behalf of Prince William and kate middleton. Because the announcement mentioned only a baby, safe to say they are not having twins. As for the duchess, her condition is said to be improving after her hospital stay last month for severe morning sickness. This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of president john f. Kennedy. It is the most investigated and analyzed crime ever committed. A provocative new twist has people talking once again about that historic event. Andrea mitchell in our Washington Bureau with more. Andrea . Good morning to you, willie. It comes from robert f. Kennedy jr. , president kennedys nephew and the son of the late attorney general Robert Kennedy that suggests that the Kennedy Family was always skeptical about the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he killed jfk. In a split second half a century ago, those shots in dallas changed the world. Ever since from the official Warren Commission report to amateur historians, the overwhelming conclusion has been that the president was shot by one man, Lee Harvey Oswald. Now robert f. Kennedy jr. Has told a dallas audience that his father was deeply skeptical and thought the Warren Commission report was a shoddy piece of craftsmanship. During his lifetime robert f. Kennedy went along with the idea in saying that Warren Commission was right in that president kennedy was killed by a lone gunman. Now you have his son and namesake saying there might have been a conspiracy. Thats news. And he agrees with his father that the evidence is very, very convincing that it was not a lone gunman. He revealed his father worried that some of his own decisions as attorney general may have led to the assassination. We know that Robert Kennedy, after his brothers death, was seized with all kinds of guilt. Some people speculated that perhaps the guilt came from the fact that Robert Kennedy thought that his own attacks on the mafia in this country from the Justice Department might have provoked a mafia retaliation that led to president kennedys death. This is likely to reignite the debate over the kennedy assassination, providing conspiracy theorists with something new that others were involved in killing president kennedy. Nearly 50 years on, the debate continues. Andrea mitchell, thank you. Roundup of what has you talking online. Lance armstrong, the disgraced cycling legend promises to speak candidly today during an interview with oprah winfrey.

Announcer today at the Golden Globes is brought to you by loreal paris, because youre worth it. The chance to host the Golden Globes arrival special gave us an opportunity to see a lot of the fashions up close and personal. We did that. We did. And here to break down the night we had julian ewe guiliana rans. Youre the experts. Good morning. Why dont we give the guys a chance to start. Oh, the men. Always ignore them. It will turn out to be all about the women anyway, right . Hugh jackman, what did you think of his out fit . I thought he was the best dressed guy of the night, amazing Louis Vuitton suit, black blue. He had an amazing pair of shoes. Damian lewis. Very, very different. Narrow lapels. Very sharp, very modern. Lot of narrow tailoring. Threepiece tux. Not my kind of thing but it worked for him and it was also a blue black. There was some kind of debate with the guys, do you do the bow tie or the long tie . I think with that really wide lapel, the bow tie works well. Its all about the proportion. Okay, men over. Oh, come on Jennifer Lawrence, i thought she looked beautiful. What did you think . Beautiful. Where women can put a belt on any gown and allow your waist to pull out. It really accented how tiny she is in the waist. Katherine mcphee, guiliana . Skin is in, no matter how chilly it is. This is the riskiest look shes ever taken. It paid off. Kate hudson, one of my best dressed last night in Alexander Mcqueen and she wowed everyone. Fashion bars were going crazy over the look. In style, women voted kate hudson best dressed. Men actually voted jessica alba. Of course they did. Well get to her in a minute. Gorgeous, absolutely stunning how the cols just radiated on top of her skin. Its also a departure from what a lot of women did. She did a shorter hemline, not as over the top of the other gowns but she nailed it. Haircut. She knows her body. We always adore seeings they these formfittingmermaid gowns. We always want her to come out and in something different, but why . She does that best. Were there any misses . Who goes first . Okay. You know, lucy liu is a beautiful woman. She wore this gorgeous dress. The problem is that the dress wore her a little more than she wore the dress. I thought she was beautiful. I agree. I thought she looked its a large dress, i admit it. But i do think she looked beautiful. One thing about the dress, it has pockets. We also, by the way, sat right behind halle berry. How did you like her dress . That was another one a lot of people were talking about. Tweeted about in a negative way and actually controversial. Here is what i want to say about that. Its a versace piece. You see it on the runway, its stunning. However, i think the body needs to be tall. Halle berry is already as thin as can be, but when youre tall it pull the lines and shapes differently the cutaway dress flows in a different manner. A lot of dresses in person dont they dont photograph well so the viewer doesnt see what we see on the red carpet. And were being really picky. They are all very gorgeous. They were beautiful dresses.

And then were going to check out the dance floor. You got home. Good morning to you. Its 8 26 right now. Im laura garcia cannon. Im also pretty cold like everybody else in the bay area. Its freezing outside, christina. And believe it or not, laura, its actually climbed a few degrees. In the past hour, temperatures are still very frigid. Were 46 degrees below that average mark. Headed only to 54 today, but if youre looking for a warmup, we have it just around the corner. 60 degrees by wednesday, 66 by the weekend. Looks like we have some sudden slowing here. South 101, our cameras around university. We do see some slowing coming past willow. Look at the map, though. It flows through the entire area from san mateo to menlo park. Were looking at the southbound routes, all kicking in from 287 to 187. All the way from hayward to fremont to mission boulevard, its running smooth. Its cold in the studio, too. Were such wimps, arent we . Well have more later. See you then. No, no, no. [ laughter ] honest to god, its real. No, please, please. God, no. Please, no. Im serious. Oh, the old frog trick. I thought Ellen Degeneres was supposed to be the nice one. Actually, she really is. Shes really sweet. You can see more of my visit with ellen later today. 8 30 now on a monday morning, the 14th of january, 2013. Im Savannah Guthrie alongside matt lauer and natalie morales. Were in Beverly Hills on this morning after the Golden Globes. Was it a real frog . Its a huge frog. No, it wasnt. It looked real. Honestly, it was a movie set prop frog. It was like this big. It was slimy. She set it on your legs. My eyes were closed. She brings it out. You have a death defying fear of frogs. Honestly at that point instinct took over. I did not care i was on television. Fight or flight. I started to cry and sweat. It was terrifying. Anyway some therapy for that, savannah. Exactly. We talked a little bit about the looks on the red carpet. You can work some of those into your own wardrobe at a fraction of the cost. So coming up, some affordable fashions inspired by what we saw on the nominees. Actually, one of hollywoods wildest outfits, the twitter dress. You can actually send it a mess am right now. Use the tweetthedress. That is bizarre. We always travel on our stomachs. Well check out what the stars are ordering up for breakfast after a night on the town with the chef at the four seasons. Speaking of food. I think al has made his way to the kitchen just to warm up and sit on the stove. Al . Actually, we have the ovens going full blast. This is pretty cool. Of course, its almost breakfast time. So we want to find out whats going on as we get ready for breakfast. See, our crew is hiding. Look at them running around, scurrying. They would like some breakfast as well. How are you . Chef fernandez, youre the executive pastry chef, right . Yes. Whats for breakfast . What is really popular, zucchini muffins. They are all hot. This is croissants, danish. We have other croissants. We have sandwiches. Cakes. You have cinnamon buns. Right. Or you have this. Lets show you what weve got as far as your weather is concerned. Oh, what a fabulous day weve got. It will be a lovely day. Ooh, bacon. As we take a look and show you whats happening for the week ahead. Were looking at wet weather along the eastern seaboard, temperatures warmer than usual. Were also looking for belownormal temperatures out west. As we head to the the midweek period, we have more warm weather, making its way from the plains all the way into the northeast. Gets cool out west and stays cool. And then the latter part of the week, were going to be looking at those temperatures getting a little bit more unusually warm. Midatlantic states back to the mid Mississippi River valley staying cooler than normal up up into the Northern Plains. I just like to make sure you see bacon. Thats whats going on around the country. Heres whats ha well, thank you for that, al. Good morning to you. Weve got a goodlooking day shaping up. This is san jose, of course. You can vividly see the mountains here off in the distance. Very good visibility but its really cold out there and temperatures are starting to warm up. 36 degrees in livermore, 37 san jose and 29 degrees in gilroy. We should see that go to only 50 today. Weve got a warmup on the way. Mid to upper 60s by the end of the week. Reo. Oh. Well, bring it over, al. Dont tease us. Exactly. Coming up next, some of hollywoods hottest, from microscopic cameras to a cool new scooter. But first, this is today on nbc. Good day from new york. In a few moments well take you to the white house for the president s 37th and final News Conference, formal News Conference of this first term. And going into this, lets talk to david gregory, moderator of meet the press. Hell be monitoring along with us. David, so much going on at the inaugural stand. Across the street from the white house, its so easy to think of this as one last week before it is inauguration, but today, of course, the onemonth anniversary of newtown and were told the president will have a statement on the debt ceiling. Because the debt ceiling is the fight coming up next, as you know, brian, and everything the president would like to do at the start of that second term including new gun laws, Immigration Reform, energy. All those things will really be locked into place unless he can get some agreement on the debt, the president said he wont negotiate with congress about the debt ceiling, but we could be headed to another standoff, another kind of fiscal cliff similar to what we saw last summer unless that can be resolved. The president wants to get ahead of that, really put the responsibility on republicans in congress and make it clear he just doesnt want to budge. Keep in mind the president will walk behind you any moment. There is a very thin line between leverage coming off an election and lame duck status, and the president has a robust agenda for this term number 2. It is, and the first year of second terms are the ones you have a shot as sitting president to have the most productive parts. But i want to go back and emphasize something david said, and that has to do with what the president has chosen to talk about, the debt ceiling, he knows he cant get to anything else until these budget battles are finally behind him. As long as those are staring the president in the face, guns put to the side, immigration to the side, education, even issues with health care, all of them become side issues if you cannot get this budget impasse behind him. Youll have a front row seat. The white house hastily announced this morning that this would be happening. Again, as we said, the 37th time in a formal manner the president has met with the news media as well look at well take a look at it, well be able to see him walk up the side room to the podium to take questions, but again, preceded by this statement on the debt ceiling, which is kind of the next looming battle in washington having just survived one on or about new years. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States. Being announced and here he is. Please have a seat, everybody. Good morning. I thought it might make sense to take some questions this week as my first term comes to an end. Its been a busy and productive four years, and i expect the same for the next four years. I intend to carry out the agenda that i campaigned on and the agenda for new jobs, new opportunity and new security for the middle class. Now, right now our economy is growing and our businesses are creating new jobs. So we are poised for a good year. If we make smart decisions and sound investments. And as long as washington politics dont get in the way of americas progress. As i said on the campaign, one component to growing our economy and broadening opportunity for the middle class is shrinking our deficits in a balanced and responsible way. And for nearly two years now, ive been fighting for such a plan, one that would reduce our deficits by 4 trillion over the next decade, which would stabilize our debt and our deficit in a Sustainable Way for the next decade. That would be enough not only to stop the growth of our debt relative to the size of our economy, but it would make it manageable so it doesnt crowd out the investments we need to make people and education and jobs and science research. Step by step, weve made progress towards that goal. Over the past two years ive signed into law about 1. 4 trillion in spending cuts. Two weeks ago i signed into law more than 600 billion in new revenue by making sure the wealthiest americans begin to pay their fair share. When you add the money that will save in Interest Payments on the debt, altogether that adds up to a total of about 2. 5 trillion in deficit reduction over the past two years. Not counting the 400 billion already saved from winding down the wars in iraq and afghanistan. So weve made progress. We are moving towards our ultimate goal of getting a reduction. And there will be more deficit reduction when congress decides what to do about the 1 1. 2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that have been pushed off until next month. The fact is, though, we cant finish the job of deficit reduction through spending cuts alone. The cuts weve already made to priorities other than medicare, medicaid, Social Security and defense mean that we spend, on everything from education to public safety, less as a share of our economy than has been true for a generation. And thats not a recipe for growth. So weve got to do more to stabilize our finances over the medium and long term, but also spur our growth in the short term. I said i hope to make modest adjustments to programs Like Health Care to protect them from future generations. Ive also said we need more revenue through tax reform by closing loopholes in our tax code for the wealthiest americans. If we combine a balanced package of savings from spending on health care and revenues from closing loopholes, we can solve the deficit issue without sacrificing our investments in things like education that are going to help us grow. It turns out the American People agree with me. They listened to an entire years debate over this issue and they made a clear decision about the approach they prefer. They dont think its fair, for example, to ask a senior to pay more for his or her health care or a scientist to shut down lifesaving research so that a multimillionaire investor can pay less in taxes than a secretary. They dont think its smart to protect endless loopholes and tax breaks for the wealthiest americans rather than improve our roads, our schools, or help manufacturers bring jobs back to america. So they want us to get our books in order in a balanced way where everybody pulls their weight, everyone does their part. Thats what i want as well. Thats what i propose. And we can get it done, but were going to have to make sure that people are looking at this in a responsible way rather than just through the linens of politics. The other proposed deadline coming up is the socalled debt ceiling, something most americans hadnt even heard of before two years ago. I want to be clear about this. The debt ceiling is not a question of authorizing more spending. Raising the debt ceiling does not authorize more spending. It simply allows the country to pay for spending that congress has already committed to. These are bills that have already been racked up. And we need to pay them. So while im willing to compromise and find Common Ground over how to reduce our deficits, america cannot afford another debate with this congress about whether or not they should pay the bills theyve already racked up. Congressional republicans refuse to pay americas bills on time, Social Security checks and Veterans Benefits will be delayed. We might not be able to pay our troops or honor our contracts with Small Business owners. Food inspectors, air Traffic Controllers, specialists who track down loose Nuclear Materials wouldnt get their paychecks. Investors around the world will ask if the United States of america is, in fact, a safe bet. Markets could go haywire, Interest Rates would spike for anybody who borrows money. Every homeowner with a mortgage, every student with a college loan, every Small Business owner who wants to grow and hire. It would be a selfinflicted wound on the economy. It would slow down our growth, might tip us into recession, and ironically would probably increase our deficit. So to even entertain the idea of this happening, of the United States of america not paying its bills, is irresponsible. Its absurd. As the speaker said two years ago, it would be and im quoting Speaker Boehner now a disaster not only for us but for the worldwide economy. So weve got to pay our bills. And republicans in congress have two choices here. They can act responsibly and pay americas bills, or they can act irresponsibly and put america through another economic crisis. But they will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the american economy. The Financial Wellbeing of the American People is not leverage to be used. The full faith and credit of the United States of america is not a bargaining chip. And they better choose quickly because time is running short. The last time republicans in Congress Even flirted with this idea, our aaa Credit Rating was down for the first time in our history, our businesses created the fewest jobs of any month in nearly the past three years, and, ironically, the whole fiasco actually added to the deficit. So it shouldnt be surprising given all this talk that the American People think washington is hurting rather than helping the country at the moment. They see their representatives consumed with paying our bills while they overwhelmingly want us to focus on growing the economy and creating more jobs. So lets finish this debate. Lets give our businesses and the world the certainty that our economy and our reputation are still second to none. We pay our bills, we handle our business, and then we can move on because america has a lot to do. Weve got to create more jobs, weve got to boost the wages of those who have work, and weve got to reach for energy independence, weve got to reform our immigration system, weve got to give our children the best education possible, and weve got to do everything we can to protect them from the horrors of gun violence. And let me say im grateful to Vice President biden for his work on this issue of gun violence and for his proposals, which im going to be reviewing today, and i will address in the next few days. And i attend to vigorously pursue. So with that, im going to take some questions, and im going to start with julie of ap, and i want to congratulate julie for this new important job. I wanted to ask about gun violence. Today marks the onemonth anniversary of the shooting in newtown which seems to generate some momentum for reinstating the assault weapons ban. But theres been fresh opposition to that ban from the nra and even harry reid questions whether it benefits congress. How hard do we push for the assault weapons ban, and if we cant convince congress, what other method would be used in order to curb gun violence . Like i said, the Vice President and menz mbers of my cabinet went through a very thorough process in the last month, meeting with stake holders in this, including the nra, listened to proposals from all corners, and they presented me now with a list of sensible, commonsense steps that can be taken to make sure that the kinds of violence we saw in newtown doesnt happen again. Im going to be meeting with the Vice President today. I expect to have a fuller presentation later in the week to give people some specifics about what i think we need to do. My starting point is not to worry about the politics, my starting point is to focus on what makes sense. What works. What should we be doing to make sure that our children are safe and that were reducing the incidence of gun violence . And i think we can do that in a sensible way that comports with the second amendment. And members of congress, i think, are going to have to have a debate and examine their own conscience. Because if, in fact and i believe this is true everybody across party lines was as deeply moved and saddened as i was by what happened in newtown, then were going to have to vote based on what we think is best. Were going to have to come up with answers that set politics aside. And thats what i expect congress to do. But what you can count on is that things ive said in the past, the belief we have to have stronger background checks, that we can do a much better job in terms of keeping these magazine clips with high capacity out of the hands of folks who shouldnt ban thats meaningful, that s those are things i continue to believe make sense. Will all of them get through this congress . I dont know. But whats uppermost in my mind is making sure im honest with the American People and with members of congress about what i think will work, what i think is something that will make a difference, and to repeat what i said earlier, if there is a step we can take that will save even one child from what happened in newtown, we should take that step. [ inaudible ] ill present the details later in the week. Chuck todd, nbc. As you know, the Senate Democrat harry reid sent you a letter begging you, essentially, to consider some sort of executive action on this debt ceiling issue. I know youve said youre not negotiating and your administration has ruled out the various ideas that were out there, the 14th amendment, but just this morning one of the house members asked you to use the 14th amendment and said sometimes thats what it takes. He brought up the proclamation and he compared the debt ceiling to that. So are you considering a plan b . And if not, why not . Well, chuck, the issue here is whether or not america pays its bills. We are not a deadbeat nation. And so there is a very simple solution to this. Congress authorizes us to pay our bills. Now, if the house and the senate want to give me the authority so that they dont have to take these tough votes, if they want to put the responsibility on me to raise the debt ceiling, im happy to take it. Mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate, had a proposal like that last year, and im happy to accept it. But if they want to keep this responsibility, then they need to go ahead and get it done. And there are no magic tricks here. There are no loopholes. There are no, you know, easy outs. This is a matter of Congress Authorizes spending. They order me to spend. They tell me, you need to fund our Defense Department at such and such a level. You need to send out Social Security checks. You need to make sure that you are paying to care for our veterans. They lay all this out for me, and because they have the spending power, so i am required by law to go ahead and pay these bills. Separately, they also have to authorize a raising of the debt ceiling in order to make sure those bills are paid. And so what congress cant do is tell me to spend x and then say, but were not going to give you the authority to go ahead and pay the bills. And i just want to repeat because i think sometimes the American People understandably arent following all the debates here in washington. Raising the debt ceiling does not authorize us to spend more. All it does is say that america will pay its bills. And we are not a deadbeat nation. And the consequences of us not paying our bills, as i outlined in my opening statement, would be disastrous. So i understand the impulse to try to get around this in a simple way. But theres one way to get around this. Theres one way to deal with it and thats for congress to authorize me to pay for those items of spending that they have already authorized. And, you know, the notion that republicans in the house or maybe some republicans in the senate would suggest that in order for us to get our way on our Spending Priorities that we would risk the full faith and credit of the United States, that, i think, is not what the founders intended, thats not how i think most americans think our democracy should work. Theyve got a point of view, democrats and congress have a point of view. They need to sit down and work out a compromise. [ inaudible question ] yeah. [ inaudible question ] well, look, chuck, there are there is a pretty straightforward way of doing this, and that is to set the debt ceiling aside, we pay our bills, and then we have a vigorous debate about how were going to do further deficit reduction in a balanced way. Keep in mind that what weve heard from some republicans in both the house and the senate is that they will only increase the debt ceiling by the amount of spending cuts that theyre able to push through. And in order to replace the automatic spending cuts to sequester, thats 1. 2 trillion. Say it takes another trillion or trillion two to get us through one more year. They have to identify 2. 5 trillion in cuts just to get the debt ceiling to next year. Congress hasnt been able to identify 1. 2 trillion in cuts that theyre happy with. These same republicans say they dont want to cut defense. They claim that they dont want to gut medicare or harm the vulnerable, but the truth of the matter is that you cant meet their own criteria without drastically cutting medicare or having an impact on medicaid or affecting our defense spending. So the math just doesnt add up. Now, heres what would work. What would work would be for us to say weve already done close to 2 trillion in deficit reduction, and if you add the interest that we wont be paying because of less spending and increased revenue, it adds up to about 2. 5 trillion. The consensus is we need about 4 trillion to stabilize our debt reduction, which means we need about 1. 5 trillion more. The package i offered to Speaker Boehner before we before the new year would achieve that. We were actually fairly close in terms of arriving at that number. So if the goal is to make sure that we are being responsible about our debt and our deficit, if thats the conversation were having, im happy to have that conversation. And by closing some additional loopholes through tax reform which Speaker Boehner has acknowledged can raise money in a sensible way, and by doing some additional cuts, including making sure that we are reducing our health care spending, which is the main driver of our deficits, we can arrive at a package to get this thing done. Im happy to have that conversation. What i will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American People. The threat that unless we get our way, unless you gut medicare or medicaid or, you know, otherwise slash things that the American People dont believe should be slashed that were going to threaten to wreck the entire economy. That is not how historically this has been done, thats not how were going to do it this time. [ inaudible question ] chuck, what im saying to you is that there is no simpler solution, no ready, credible solution other than congress either give me the authority to raise the debt ceiling, or exercise the responsibility that they have kept for themselves and raise the debt ceiling. Because this is about paying your bills. Everybody here understands it. This is not a complicated concept. You dont go out to dinner and then eat all you want and then leave without paying the check. And if you do, youre breaking the law. And congress should think about it the same way the American People do. You dont now, if Congress Wants to have a debate about maybe we shouldnt go out to dinner next time, maybe we should go to a more modest restaurant, thats fine. Thats the debate that we should have, but you dont say, in order for me to control my appetites, im going to not pay the people who already provided me services. People who already lent me the money. Thats not showing any discipline. All thats doing is not meeting your obligations. You cant do that. And thats not a credible way to run this government. Weve got to stop lurching from crisis to crisis to crisis when there is this clear path ahead of us that simply requires some discipline, some responsibility and some compromise. Thats where we need to go. Thats how this needs to work. Thank you, mr. President. As you well know, sir, finding votes for the debt ceiling can be complicated. You yourself said they voted against the debt increase, and in previous president ial history, president reagan, president clinton, all signed a debt deal that were contingent on raising the debt ceiling. You yourself have done that. Three times those were related to Budget Reduction maneuvers. What chuck and i and many are curious on is your adamant desire not to negotiate when that seems to conflict with the entire history in the modern american president s with the debt ceiling and your own debt ceiling, and doesnt that suggest that we are going to go into a default situation because nobody is talking about how to resolve this. No, major, i think if you look at the history, getting votes for the debt ceiling is always difficult. And budgets in this town are always difficult. I went through this just last year. But whats different is we never saw a situation, as we saw last year, in which certain groups in Congress Took such an absolutist position, that we came within a few days of defaulting. And the fact of the matter is that we have never seen the debt ceiling used in this fashion, where the notion was, you know what, we might default unless we get 100 of what we want. That hasnt happened. Now, as i indicated before, im happy to have a conversation about how we reduce our deficits further in a sensible way. Although, one thing i want to point out is that the American People are also concerned about how we grow our economy, how we put people back to work, how we make sure that we finance our workers getting properly trained and our schools are giving our schools the education we deserve. There is a whole growth agenda which will reduce our deficits thats important as well. But what youve never seen is the notion that has been presented so far, at least, by the republicans that deficit reduction will only count spending cuts, that we will raise the deficit or the debt ceiling dollar for dollar on spending cuts. There are a whole set of rules that have been established that are impossible to meet without doing Severe Damage to the economy. And so what were not going to do is put ourselves in a position where, in order to pay for spending that weve already incurred, that our two options are were either going to profoundly hurt the economy and hurt middle class families and hurt seniors and hurt kids who are trying to go to college, or alternatively, were going to blow up the economy. Were not going to do that. [ inaudible question ] no, not whatever Congress Sends me. Theyre going to have to send me something thats sensible. And we shouldnt be doing this and we shouldnt be doing this in a one to threemonth time frame. Why would we do that . This is the United States of america, major. We cant manage our affairs in such a way that we pay our bills and we provide some certainty in terms of how we pay our bills . Look, i dont think anybody would consider my position unreasonable here. I have [ inaudible question ] major, the i am happy to have a conversation about how we reduce our deficits. I am not going to have a monthly or every three months conversation about whether or not we pay our bills. Because that in and of itself does Severe Damage. Even the threat of default hurts our economy. Its hurting our economy as we speak. We shouldnt be having that debate. If we want to have a conversation about how to reduce our deficit, lets have that. Weve been having that for the last two years. We just had an entire campaign about it. And by the way, the American People agreed with me, that we should reduce our deficits in a balanced way that also takes into account the need for us to grow this economy and put people back to work. And despite that conversation and despite the election results, the position thats been taken on the part of some House Republicans is that, nope, weve got to do it our way. And if we dont, we simply wont pay americas bills. Well, that cant be a position that is sustainable over time. Its not one thats good for the economy now. Its certainly not going to be the kind of precedent that i want to establish not just for my presidency but for future president s. Even if it was on the other side. Democrats dont like voting for the debt ceiling when a republican is president , but you never saw a situation in which democrats suggested somehow that we would go ahead and default if we didnt get 100 of our way. Thats just not how its supposed to work. John carl. Thank you, mr. President. On the issue of guns, given how difficult it will be, some would say impossible, to get any gun control measure passed through this congress, what are you willing or able to do using the powers of your presidency to act without congress, and id also like to know, what do you make of these long lines were seeing at gun shows and gun stores all around the country . Even in connecticut, applications for guns are up since the shooting in newtown. Well, my understanding is the Vice President is going to provide a range of steps that we can take to reduce gun violence. Some of them will require legislation, some of them i can accomplish through executive action. And so ill be reviewing those today, and like i said, ill speak in more detail to what were going to go ahead and propose later in the week. But im confident that there are some steps that we can take that dont require legislation and that are within my authority as president. And where you get a step that has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence, i want to go ahead and take it. [ inaudible question ] i think, for example, how were gathering data, for example, on guns that fall into the hands of criminals and how we track that more effectively. There may be some steps that we can take administratively through legislation. As far as people lining up and purchasing more guns, i think that weve seen for some time now that those who oppose any commonsense gun control or gun Safety Measures have a pretty effective way of jimmying up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government is about to take all your guns away. And theres probably an economic element to that. It obviously is good for business, but i think that those of us who look at this problem have repeatedly said that responsible gun owners, people who have a gun for protection, for hunting, for sportsmanship, they dont have anything to worry about. The issue here is not whether or not we believe in the second amendment. The issue is are there some sensible steps we can take to make sure that somebody like the individual in newtown cant walk into a school and gun down a bunch of children in a shockingly rapid fashion. And surely we can do something about that. But part of the challenge we confront is that even the slightest hint of some sensible, responsible legislation in this area fans this notion that somehow, here it comes, and that everybodys guns are going to be taken away. Its unfortunate, but thats the case, and if you look at over the first four years of my administration, we tried to tighten up and enforce some of the laws that were already on the books. But it would be pretty hard to argue that somehow gun owners have had their rights infringed. [ inaudible question ] excuse me . [ inaudible question ] well, as i said, i think its a fear thats fanned by those who are worried about the possibility of legislation getting out there. Joanna golden. Thank you, mr. President. I want to come back to the debt ceiling, because in the summer of 2011, you said that you wouldnt negotiate on the debt ceiling, and you did. Last year you said that you wouldnt extend any of the bush tax cuts for the wealthy. And you did. So if you say now youre not going to negotiate on the debt ceiling this year, why should House Republicans take that seriously and think that if we get to the one minute to midnight scenario that youre not going to back down . First of all, julianna, lets take the example this year in the fiscal cliff. I did not say i wouldnt have any conversations at all about extending the bush tax cuts. What i said was we werent going to extend bush tax cuts for the wealthy. And we didnt. Now, you can argue that during the campaign i said i set the criteria for wealthy at 250 and we ended up being at 400, but the fact of the matter is, millionaires, billionaires are paying significantly more in taxes, just as i said. So from the start, my concern was making sure that we had a tax code that was fair and that protected the middle class, and my biggest priority was making sure the middle class taxes did not go up. The difference between this year and 2011 is the fact that weve already made 1. 2 trillion in cuts. And at the time i indicated there were cuts we could make that would not damage the economy, not impede growth. I said at the time we should pair it up with revenue in order to have an overall balanced package. But my own budget reflected cuts in discretionary spending. My own budget reflected the cuts that needed to be made. And weve made those cuts. Now, the challenge Going Forward is that weve now made some big cuts. And if were going to do further deficit reduction, the only way to do it is in a balanced and responsible way. The alternative is for us to go ahead and cut commitments that weve made on things like medicare or Social Security or medicaid and for us to fundamentally change commitments that weve made to make sure the seniors dont go into poverty. Or that children who are disabled are properly cared for. For us to change that contract we made with the American People rather than look at options like closing loopholes for corporations that they dont need, that points to a longterm trend in which we have fundamentally, i think, undermined what people expect out of this government, which is that parties sit down, they negotiate, they compromise, but they also reflect the will of the American People, that you dont have one narrow faction that is able to simply dictate 100 of what they want all the time or otherwise threaten that we destroy the american economy. Another way of putting it is, weve got to break the habit of negotiating through crisis over and over again. And now is as good a time as any, at the start of my second term, because if we continue down this path, then theres really no stopping the principle. Even in divided government, even where we have a democratic president and a democratic senate, then a small group in the house of representatives could simply say every two months, every six months, every year, we are going to more and more change the economy in ways that we prefer despite strong objections of americans all across the country or otherwise were going to have america not pay its bills. And that is no way for us to do business. And by the way, i would make the same argument if it was a republican president and a Republican Senate and you had a handful of democrats who were suggesting that we are going to hijack the process and make sure that either we get our way 100 of the time or otherwise, you know, we are going to default on americas obligations. [ inaudible question ] no, no, what ive said is im happy to have a conversation about debt reduction. Look, joanna, this is pretty straightforward. Either congress pays its bills or it doesnt. If john boehner and Mitch Mcconnell think that they can come up with a plan that somehow meets their criteria that they accept for why they when they will raise the debt ceiling, theyre free to go ahead and try. But the proposals that they put forward in order to accomplish that only by cutting spending means cuts to things like medicare and education that the American People profoundly reject. Now, if they think they can get that through congress, then theyre free to try. But i think that a better way of doing this is to go ahead and say, were going to pay our bills. The question now is, how do we actually get our deficit in a manageable, Sustainable Way, and thats a conversation im happy to have. All right. Matt spotolnik. Thank you, sir. Youve spoken extensively about the debt ceiling debate, but some americans have said theyre willing to have a Government Shutdown take place rather than have deep spending cuts. Are you prepared for the government to take a halt rather than accept the spending cuts they set forth, and who do you think america would blame if that came to pass . Well, obviously the republicans in congress have a decision to make, and if they want to shut down congress in order to get their way, then it would take a vote from the house of representatives to do that. I think that would be a mistake, i think it would be profoundly damaging to our economy. I think it would actually add to our deficit because it will impede growth. I think its shortsighted. But theyre elected representatives and folks put them into those positions, and theyre going to have to make a decision about that. And i suspect the American People will blame all of washington for not being able to get its act together. We can shake a bipartisan plan to reduce the deficit. Is that really our objective . Our concern is that were spending more than we take in, and if thats the case, there is a way of balancing that out so that we take in more money, increasing revenue, and we reduce spending. In the conversation i had with Speaker Boehner at the end of the year, we came pretty close. A few billion dollars separating us when spread over a tenyear period doesnt seem like a lot. But whats puzzling republicans is simply more than the debt reduction, they have an idea of what government should and shouldnt do. So theyre suspicious about governments commitments, for example, to make sure that seniors have Decent Health care as they get older. They have suspicions about Social Security. They have suspicions about whether government should make sure that kids in poverty are getting enough to eat or whether we should be spending money on medical research. So theyve got a particular view of what government should do and should be. And so this was debated during the president ial campaign. I think every poll out there indicates the American People actually think our commitment to medicare or toward education is really important, and thats something we should look at in terms of a last resort in terms of reducing the deficit, and it makes a lot more sense for us to close, for example, corporate lo loopholes before we go to putting a bigger burden on students or seniors. But if the House Republicans disagree with that and they want to shut down the government to see if they can get their way on it, thats their prerogative. Thats how the system is set up. It will damage our economy. The government is a big part of this economy. And its interesting that a lot of times you have people who recognize that when it comes to defense spending. Some of the same folks who say we have to cut spending or complain that government jobs dont do anything, when it comes to that defense contractor in their district, they think, wow, this is a pretty important part of the economy in my district. We shouldnt stop spending on that. Lets just make sure were not spending on those other folks. [ inaudible question ] well, look, my hope is that common sense prevails. Thats always my preference. And i think that would be the preference of the American People and thats what would be good for the economy. So let me just repeat. If the issue is deficit reduction, getting our deficits sustainable over time, getting our debt in a sustainable place, then democrats and republicans in congress will have a partner with me. We can achieve that and we can achieve it fairly quickly. We know what the numbers are, we know what needs to be done, we know what a balanced approach would take. Weve already done probably more than half of what we need to stabilize the debt and the deficit. Theres probably been more pain and drama in getting there than we needed. And so finishing the job shouldnt be that difficult. If everybody comes to the conversation with an open mind, and if we recognize that there is some things like not paying our bills that should be out of bounds. Im going to take one last question. Jackie. Id like to ask you, now that you reached the end of your first term, starting your second, about a couple of criticisms, one thats longstanding, another more recent. The longstanding one seems to become a truism of sorts that you and your staff are too insular, that you dont socialize enough. And the second, more recent criticism is that your Team Taking Shape isnt as diverse as it could be or even was in terms of getting additional voices, gender, race, ethnic diversity. So id like you to address both of those. Sure. Let me take the second one first. Im very proud that in the first four years, we had as diverse, if not more diverse, a white house and a cabinet than any in history. And i intend to continue that because it turns out that when you look for the very best people given the incredible diversity of this country, youre going to end up with a diverse staff and a diverse team, and that very diversity helps create more effective policymaking and better decis n decisionmaking for me because it brings different decisions to the table. So when you think about my first four years, the person who probably had the most influence on my Foreign Policy was a woman. The people who were in charge of moving forward my most important domestic initiative, health care, were women. The person in charge of our Homeland Security was a woman. My two appointments to the Supreme Court were women. And 50 of my white house staff were women. So i think people should expect that that record will be built upon during the next four years. Now, what ive made four appointments so far, and one woman, admittedly a highprofile one, has already left the administration, and i have made a replacement, but i would just suggest that everybody kind of wait until theyve seen all my appointments who is in the white house staff and who is in my cabinet before they rush to judgment. [ inaudible question ] i guess what im saying, jackie, is i think until youve seen what my overall team looks like, its premature to assume that somehow were going backwards. Were not going backwards, were Going Forward. With respect to this truism about me not socializing enough and patting folks on the back and all that stuff, most people who know me know im a pretty friendly guy. And i like a good party. The truth is that, you know, when i was in the senate, i had great relationships over there, and up until the point that i became president , this was not an accusation that you heard very frequently. I think that, really, whats gone on in terms of some of the paralysis here in washington or difficulties in negotiations just have to do with some very stark differences in terms of policy. Some very sharp differences in terms of where we stand on issues, and if you think about, lets say, myself and Speaker Boehner, i like Speaker Boehner personally. And when we went out and played golf, we had a great time, but that didnt get a deal done in 2011. When im over here at the congressional picnic and folks are coming up and taking pictures with their family, i promise you michelle and i are very nice to them and we have a wonderful time, but it doesnt prevent them from going on to the floor of the house and, you know, blasting me for being a big spending socialist. And the reason that in many cases Congress Votes the way they do or talks the way they talk or takes positions in negotiations that they take doesnt have to do with me, it has to do with the imperatives they feel in terms of their own politics. Theyre worried about their district, theyre worried about whats going on back home. I think there are a lot of republicans at this point that feel that given how much energy has been devoted in some of the media thats preferred by republican constituents is to demonize me that it doesnt look real good socializing with me. Charlie crist down in florida testifies to that, and i think a lot of folks say, well, if we look like were being too cooperative or too chummy with the president , that might cause us problems. That might be an excuse for us to get a challenge from somebody in a primary. So that tends to be the challenge. I promise you, we invite folks from congress over here all the time, and when they choose to come, i enjoy their company. Sometimes they dont choose to come and that has to do with the fact that i think they dont consider the optics useful for them politicalically. Ultimately the way well get things done, personal relationships are important, and the nice thing is now that my girls are getting older, they dont want to spend that much time with me, anyway, so ill probably be calling around getting someone to play cards with me or something, because im getting kind of lonely in this big house. Maybe a whole bunch of members of house of the Republican Caucus want to come over and socialize more. But my suspicion is getting the issues resolved that we just talked about, the big stuff. Whether or not we get sensible laws passed to prevent gun violence, whether or not america is paying its bills, whether or not we get Immigration Reform done. All of that is going to be determined largely by where the respect acti respective parties stand on policy, and maybe most importantly, the attitude of the American People. If the American People feel strongly about these issues and they push hard and they reward or dont reward members of congress with their votes, if they reject sort of uncompromising positions or sharp partisanship or always looking out for the next election and they reward folks who are trying to find Common Ground, then i think youll see behavior in congress change. And that will be true whether im the life of the party or a stick in the mud. All right . Thank you very much, everybody. President obama in what will be his final News Conference, and we apologize, though, it was beyond our control for something a lot of people found frustrating, and that is our inability to hear the followup questions, lack of a microphone. Usually there is one on a boom especially to pick up the front row after they use the hand mic. Again, beyond our control. We were struggling to hear along with our viewers. And in the front row, by our count, the asker of about 11 or 12 questions today, chuck todd. Chuck todd, interesting there at the end, kind of a fullthroated defense of himself, his diversity. Weve been hearing privately the president has been telling people just calm down and wait until you see the entire picture of our team, but also having to declare himself a friendly guy on matters of policy, including your dozen or so questions, where do you think the ball was advanced today . Well, what was interesting was how resigned the president seemed to be that a Government Shutdown is probably coming. He all but talked about it in terms of, well, it looks like the votes are there among House Republicans to do such a thing, that they have the votes to do this, and then talked about how the negative impact of that. But on that narrow question, i thought that was enlightening where he sort of headed with that. It was almost like a resignation about it. And on the debt ceiling, he would say he wasnt negotiating and then he was saying, i look forward to seeing the proposal to raise the debt ceiling and some of the things on almost separate tracks when it comes to that. So i dont think he fully closed the door on negotiating on debt ceiling. And david gregory, were listening to the president in the room in the washington community. Its hard not to think of americans trying to decipher whats this going to mean all over again how were viewed in the world, economy, taxes, that kind of thing . Well, its not a pretty picture, and i dont know that it gets prettier, but the president signalling hes willing to make minor modifications to issues, to programs like medicare. Thats an opening as well as that conversation is already going on. He wants to make sure the debt ceiling can get raised as a separate discussion from dealing with the debt. They may have to be coupled in the end, and i think the president knows that. I think there is a larger point here, brian. I think whether its guns, whether its the issue of the deficit, this may have to be a more piecemeal approach in his second term. David gregory, who was famous for followups in his day in the front row in the east room. David gregory, chuck todd, our entire team, thanks. Well have a lot more on this tonight on nightly news.

When you file your taxes. I read the whole 900 pages. It literally took me weeks. I will give you a tax and health care review. I know the law. I have the solution. And i can help you figure it out. Were going to see this through together. What are you grateful for . Most would say friends, family, good health. Do the people in your life know how much you appreciate them . Theres something called a gratitude gap. Janice caplan wrote an article for good housekeeping. What is the gratitude gap . The difference between what people actually express and what they feel. So when we spoke to people about gratitude, about 90 of them say they appreciate their parents and their family and 87 say that theyre grateful for their friends. But only about half as many actually express it to them. I was interested to hear, too, its easier for some people to thank a tsa screener or somebody they meet strangers. Right, than members of their own family. Couple of things are going on there. People sometimes worry that theyll appear weak if they express gratitude or maybe theyll owe somebody something. If you do something for me, does that mean i have to do something for you . People like to feel appreciated. If you are appreciated, then you tend to be more giving to the person. Lets look at the gender gap. In many respects were the same except for one category, we saw a distinct difference between men and women. The study, by the way, was done for the wonderful john temple foundation. What we found in the survey was that women were more grateful on just about every category all the way across the board except at home. And at home about 59 of women said that they expressed gratitude on a regular basis for their spouse or partner. 67 of men said the same. It may be let me say it, that women do so much more at home that they should be its interesting that women dont feel appreciated. Husbands may think theyre saying it. About half of women say gosh i wish my husband appreciated me more or told me he appreciated me more. We know men and women are different, do they express their gratitude in different ways . Absolutely. They buy candy, buy gifts, take you out to dinner. Nothing wrong with any of that, let me be clear. But 97 of the women just said they want their spouse or partner to sit on the couch and listen to them. Put away your wallet, save yourself a whole bunch of money and just listen. Chris rock, the comedian, has a fun bit where he says you just have to listen to your woman complain about work, complain about all these things and nod your head. Why is it so hard . Just listen. Dont solve it. Just listen. Good advice. Im learning in this segment. I was going to say another part of the survey that jumped out to us was the generational gap. Of all the people we surveyed, the millenials express gratitude the least, by far the least. And they were the most conflicted about it. And i think i dont think were raising a nation of ingrates. I think it has to do with the aa age. And the casualness of our society, xo means i love you. Struggling with independence. They want to feel like they did everything themselves and its hard to say thanks, perhaps. Though it was interest iing. One way that they said they expressed their gratitude to their parents was by being a good person. They didnt have to say thank you but they could be kind. They could be nice people, pay it forward. That may be a good thing for parents to realize. Very interesting. Im going to go home and listen. And leave the roses at home. Up next, is it the right time to downsize your home .

This morning on todays money, is downsizing right for you . With many approaching retirement, many are deciding if its time to give up the empty nest. Sharon epperson is here with what you need to know. Good morning. Good to see you. Good morning, tamron. My mom, my dad passed away five years ago and shes in this big home alone and shes looking at whether its the right time to downsize. Whatever the case or circumstances, theres a lot to look at. My mom is going through the same thing. One of the things you have to look at is the cost of living. If youre still in a highincome area, high taxes, not if you dont have a lot of equity in your home. You may not cut that much money by buying something new. You may not have a lot to put down. You really have to crunch the numbers to really see what all of your expenses are now and see if you can manage them. Of course, if your health is well enough to get around the house that youre in. Whether or not your Monthly Expenses will actually go down. Thats not an assumption you should make. You need to go to cost of living cal clarity calculator. Another great place to go to see exactly if i stay here, move to another city, what will be my cost of living, what will my expense expenses be, from everything to going to the Grocery Store to what your house payments will be. Speaking of the house, selling the home in the Real Estate Market from state to state varies so differently. Were recovering but not completely yet. If you bought at the top of the market when housing prices were really high, you may not have the equity in your home that you think youre going to have. Go to zilia. Com and find out what houses are selling for in your area and what you could sell your home for to be more realistic of what youre going to get. Friends and family, downsizing may mean you move further away from the grandkids. There are a lot of considerations to make. A lot of times if you downsize you may want to be close to the city center. You may still want to be close to your friends or neighbors and those emotional attachments are something to consider beyond the financial. Speaking of everything is about the financial, lets face it, when making these big decisions. Do you need to consult with an expert to map this out . Even though you can do your own taxes . Its all part that have longterm planning, that retirement planning. It all goes together. You need to talk to a professional about whether it makes sense, what your expenses are right now, what your longterm goals are. Even if youre in retirement or near retirement you have longterm goals you want to reach. Is the best way to downsize your home . It may not be. Do not think emotionally but logically and map this out. Exactly. A lot of people will appreciate this. Thank you, sharon. Up next, creating a great home office, of course, on a budget. First this is today on nbc. This morning on todays home, how to design a home office. Believe it or not, you can do it for as little as 500 bucks. Sabrina is host of hgtvs the high low prompt and contributor to hgtv magazine. Good to see you. Nice to see you. Lets talk first about philosophy. Were starting from scratch here. What should we be thinking about . The essentials, obviously, but the desk and the chair. Dont feel you have to put it against the wall. You can always float it in the space and hide the cords. Play around with the arrangement. You dont want to be staring at a wall the whole day. Lets start with the desk here. High first. What are we looking at . Lacquered engineered wood 349, which is a bit of a splurge. The exact same look can be accomplished for 69. This is particle board. You can see this has a high gloss sheen to it. Really, this is fine for 69 bucks, especially for a dorm or kids room. Its hard to tell the difference, actually. Yeah. That has a more lacquered look. More modern. Ergonomic chairs can be really expensive. They can. You want to make sure you have a very comfortable chair for sitting at your desk a lot. Same look, 178 versus 70 for the low. Whats the difference here . Really, its just the feel, construction but for the look its almost identical. I would say go for the lower end. That makes sense. This one i hadnt thought about in my home office, i confess. Theyre great to hide all the clutter. But im telling you, this is a huge high ls low. This is 230 for the boxes where these are only 19. I love using boxes in offices to hide all of the clut per. Pens and extra stuff . Pens, papers, notepads. Throw it in. Got to have a clock. These are two pretty cool clocks. Try to lift them. One is way heavier. 125. 45. Can you tell . Little bit. A little bit. Not much. You can tell this is a little bit more has a little bit more weight to it. Little more heft. Little more left. I think youre good on 45 bucks there. Garbage can, little trash can. 250. For this . Yeah. Stop it. Try to pick it up. Does it make breakfast for you . Theres a bar in there as well. No. Inside you could actually take out the canister. Where this you cant. 26 for the low. Come on. 250. Were not doing that. Thats ridiculous. Another one a lot of people have in their office. Good book ends. You need them. These are iron, 302 for the set. The low end is a little more whimsical, its 30 for this dog book end set. 30 bucks and get them on amaz amazon, some place like that. Get them online. Something i hadnt thought about. Air purifier. Breathes good air all day long. 169 for the high end, 50 for the low end. Both work very well. This has a little more of a filtration system, but again, for 50 bucks youre fine. Absolutely. Filing cabinets, these are important but they can be big, unruly and expensive. Depending on how much paperwork you have you may need a big one. 555 for the high. Its custom made. Its a bit of a splurge. You can tell its a little bigger. If you dont need that much storage 159 for the low. Did you know they make 250 trash cans . I wont ever know that because i wont ever own one. What about a refrigerator in your office for snacks . If its a home office you can walk to the kitchen. Come on. Thanks so much. Great to see you. Kathie lee and hoda and more after your local news and weather. Good monday morning to you. 9 56. Im laura garcia cannon. Our cold snap especially chilling for seniors at an apartment complex. They say theyve been without hot water now for more than a week. Most of the residents of the town park towers on 35th street are mostly elderly or disabled. Some tenants say theyve caught warm water intermittently but it doesnt stay hot long enough for a quick shower. Its not healthy, i dont like it. Its not a healthy thing to be doing. Even washing your dishes in cold water, youre not getting rid of the bacteria. A representative for the hot water heater says there is a problem with the boiler system. Meantime, they say their water is still cold. Lets see how long the cold is going to last. Yes, its still cold out there and will be cold even in the sunshine at the heat of the day. 51 around san jose and right around 49 degrees in los gatos. This is the coldest day of the week. Temperatures will start warming up tomorrow by 5 degrees. Well be at 63 by thursday, and by the weekend, 66 degrees. Lets hear about that drive with mike. 101 was jammed up half an hour ago when we took a look both direction past university and willow. Now you see both sides starting to clear up. Northbound actually clear from willow. It slowed down headed north just past the dumbarton bridge and marsh. Its starting to move southbound, but still slow approaching university boulevard from the north. This is a shady area where some paurts had gotten on the roadways. Four cars hit a patch of ice at the bottom and they spun out there causing quite a bit of Traffic Control through the area. We warned about that with cool weather, laura. Back to you. Thank you very much. Another local update in half an hour. Well see you then. From nbc news this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hello, everybody. Welcome to fun day monday, january 14th. So delighted youre with us. Maybe some of you stayed up all evening here on the east coast to watch the Golden Globes. Yes, they were terrific. The colden globes as somebody called them. Let our countdown continue. What day is it . Thats the thing about the weekend, it makes it, like, two or three days go by really quickly. 23 days and then until we get wine on the show again. Yep. We can do it, hoda. We can do it. The Golden Globes, i think of all ive seen a bunch of those awards ceremonies. This one to me was one of the best i thought from the hosts to the speeches to the awards. Didnt you think . It was i thought it was hit and miss. Did you . Hit and miss. I thought that tina and amy were terrific. I thought they were a lot of people either loved, you know, whats his face last year. Ricky gervais. That wasnt nice. You whan i mean. Or felt he crossed the line. These guys walked the line perfectly. Lets watch. Catherine bigelow nominated tonight. [ applause ] i havent really been following the controversy over zero dark 30 but when it comes to torture, i trust the lady who spent three years married to james cameron. Hunger games was one of the biggest films of the year and also what i called the six weeks it took me to get into this dress. Ang lee has been nominated for best director for the life of pi, which is what im going to call the next six weeks after i take this dress off. It was fun to see two women. They obviously love each other and bounce off of each other so beautifully. There were very few moments where i didnt think they clicked or it didnt work. We wanted more. Thats what you wanted. Im so happy for ben affleck for winning for argo, but i have to say lincoln had seven nominations, and they got robbed. You thought it did. It got you have been screaming about it. A lot of people thought he got robbed because he didnt get an oscar nomination, meaning ben affleck. At the globes youre nominated for seven, and lincoln got one . That is you would have to talk to the people who nominated it and see, i havent seen argo yet. I saw lincoln yet yessed. It was sensational. If you love those kinds of things, can i recommend a movie that i think i loved even more on the same pretty much the same subject. Theres a movie called Amazing Grace which is about a man named William Wilbur force who personally led a 20year battle to get rid of the slave trade in britain. He was a member of parliament. Its a brilliant movie. Michael abtett directed it. Its so, so good. You know, all that happened, i think, some 20 some years even before it happened in our country, so i loved lincoln, and i agree its a magnificent piece of work, and speilberg is hard to beat. He didnt win last year for warhorse either. Is he going to win the oscar. How about that . How about that . Im at a loss. I havent seen argo. I want to see it. I thought christian wig and will ferrell were funny together. It went on a little long. I thought a couple of the ladies that were nominated were not thlled about it, but i thought it was clever. Well executed. Watch. Emily blunt. Emily blunt. Salmon fishing in the yemen. Emily blunt, always beautiful. Beautiful. Always amazing. When the salmon are coming out. Comes out. They and when the bad guy comes and the one salmon is and the salmon is like and youre in yemen. The whole spoof. They hadnt seen any of the movies. Very, very cute. It was a get out of here. It was genius. All right. Ben seemed very, very surprised. Ben to us. I have never met him, but i like him. So surprised he left out a couple thank yous in his speech. Look, i dont care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names that she just read off its an extraordinary thing in your life. Before i present the award, my husband forgot a couple of people. Grant hesloff and george clooney, without whom he cannot have made the movie. The best producers in the world, and he asked me to mention that. Thank you, grant and george. Thats sweet. I love their relationship. I do too. That seems such a it was interesting to see Jennifer Lopez come up looking so va va voom but knowing that she went through that time with him. That was weird. Didnt work for either one of them. To see him so settle and doing so well and just loving fatherhood and you know what, shes on my list of one of the people thats the most gorgeous. Jennifer garner. What a lady. See the little waist on her after three children. Stop it. Speaking about a little waist, claire danes. One month. Boy, she won for homeland. They swept. I am going to have to start watching it. She lost that baby weight so quickly. She looked beautiful. Congrats to her. Les miz won for best Motion Picture and musical. Hugh jackman, im so happy for him. Ann hathaway, i did see hers. They did she won, and nobody was surprised. Jennifer lawrence won. She seemed adorable. I didnt know she was fighting the flu. Thats another movie i want to see very badly. Best actress went actor went to Daniel Day Lewis. Im so glad i saw lincoln yesterday. Every time that man picks up a script, you might as well before you even does the filming, give him the oscar. The man is amazing. Like meryl streep. I loved kate hudsons dress. A lot of people did. She stepped occupy that stage, and you just went, like, oh, my gosh. Youre not going according to what were supposed to be doing. Whatever. I loved her dress. I love the whole line tv. I wish her hair had been up so we could see that neckline a little better. She looks sensational. Who did you like some. You know what, everybody is talking i loved i loved were going to talk out in los angeles. I thought that a lot of people didnt like her dress. I thought lucy lu looked gorgeous. It was so different from everybody. I thought maybe its because i hate winter so much, it was so springlike, and i loved the way she wore her hair to the side. It was just she looked so feminine and so lovely, and she was here recently, and i didnt really know and we both liked her so much. Prints arent easy. Sometimes that affects you. Everybody kept saying you should have waited around to see Julia Roberts at the end of the telecast. I want to see how gorgeous i cant tell from that. You can. No, i really cant. What are you talking about . At this distance i would have said no. But she no. No. Im sure if i saw it closer up that i sorry. Some people say the most interesting speech of the night didnt go to any of the people who won Golden Globes, but to the woman who won the cecil b. Demill Lifetime Achievement award. Some people were confused. Some people loved it and hated it. Some were all of those. Lets watch. I guess i just have a sudden urge to Say Something that i have never really been able to air in public, so declaration that im a little nervous about, but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now, huh, jennifer . But, you know, im just going to put it out there right loud and proud, right . Im going to need your support on this. I am single. So the audience laughs because the audience well, im not going to say anything but the audience has known about jodys life and lifestyle for a long, long time, and they love her. I think she was making a statement sort of like why does everyone have to have a News Conference or reality show to announce their, you know, sexuality or whatever, and she seemed to be having fun with it i thought. Right . Yeah. You got to. I mean, you are what you are, right . Yes, indeedy. Even you, hodie are what you are. I am. In case you are marking your calendars, the royal baby is on the way. It makes its appearance in july. Good for them. And they are saying baby. What does that mean . Not twins . There was some speculation that perhaps it was twins because she had that hyper emisis ravaderum. Sounds like something they would say on harry potter. The new prince or princess could share a birthday with williams mother who was born on july 1st. Were doing something fun with johnsons baby.

Back now with today at the Golden Globes. Awards season is not just about honoring the winners of tv and film. Its also about all the winners when it comes to fashion. Yes, it was. Who was hot . Who was not on the red carpet . Hal rubenstein was there, and he got a firsthand look at all the stars. Is he the fashion director at instyle magazine. How are you . Good. Freezing, but good. Did those cold temperatures out there on the red carpet, did that affect what people wore, or did they just show the skin . No, oddly enough, it really didnt, because for like a little moment there, Perfect Timing in the afternoon, the sun came out, and it just it didnt really affect anybodys choices. We asked a lot of them, and it really didnt make a difference. Theyre all very smart people. They know that that kind of exposure, so to speak, with that many millions of eyeballs watching, theyre going to maximize that opportunity. Yeah. The clothes really, really they made their decisions, and the clothes really had to make that statement, so couldnt be about the weather. All right. You loved, loved, loved Jessica Chastain. Tell us about her dress and why you love it. Its a difficult dress in the front, but it has a beautiful, beautiful pale blue color that just goes so gorgeously against her skin. She has almost luminous skin. The dress moved around later on in the evening, but the beginning it just laid perfectly. She has won calvin klein before, and i think it goes with her red hair with those lovely Harry Winston diamonds. It just created a great stark and modern flooshg her. Shes such a young, beautiful girl that for me it made it look like she was bosomheavy and she was hang thering. Shes not. She has a great body. The dress actually got sort of lower during the course of the evening, and i think maybe there should be somebody around to help her adjust it. You can only say so much. If black and white is in, then Julie Ann Moore hit it. She had that long pretty dress. I thought was that armani. It was tom ford. Tom ford, right. Loo tom is a great friend of hers. Yeah. And it just it had it had elegance. It had maturity. It had maternity. Its everything we love at in style. The bulgari jewelry just perfectly accented it. She looks magnificent to me. Jennifer lawrence was fighting the flu, but she wore a lot of color, so it made her look like she was feeling good. Thats a pretty dress. It was but she she literally was choking on the red carpet. She was so uncomfortable. Its a great red dior dress. The top of it is a little bit odd, and i think with the belt theres a lot going on, but shes so statute effect, and her hair was beautifully done with the great knotted bun. She was on the in style facebook red carpet talk meeting that we developed just for the night. She was the most buzzed about star. Oh, good. All right. Were going to flip over now. Were going to talk to bobbie thomas. Hello, bobbie girl. You have an interesting project that youve undertaken, havent you . Tell us. I wanted to mix things up. I was watching the red carpet last night like millions of people watching now, and i asked the question, what if . I wanted to restyle some of the looks with the help of photo shop, and first up, we have amanda seifrey. Today a lot of tweeted last night and on my twitter handle saying she looked a little washed out. I know the actress wanted to be soft, but i wanted to see what this gown would look like many some pastel colors, and i think i would love to hear what everybody at home thinks. Go on to our website to tell us. I photoshopped her in some of the soft pastel colors, and i personally lot of the blue. I really thought it would pick up her eyes, and theres a way to go soft without having to do something thats really, really fair on fair skin. All right. What do you think, ladies . You like . You like the blush . I think shes gorgeous that way. Its so okay. So moving on, zosha, i really loved this sleek dress. This was tony ward. The one thing i wanted to see was a little more balance in the face. Minimalism is a big trend on the runway, so i added a pop of color on the lip. Take a look. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Better. It just balances out. The hair is kind of severe too with the same severity of the dress. You took the words out of my mouth. If you are going to keep everything really severe with the hair and makeup, just adding a little femininity with the color. I think lipstick went a long way. I wanted to know if julia luisdreyfus . Why . Julia is a petite frame, and connie is taller, and shes got that long and lean straight body, which is great, but i thought connie could use the curve of julias dress. I like it better. This was the difference. Do you like this better . I like that better. Keep in mind, if you are taller go ahead and go for the more volumous dress, and, you know, julia usually always wears sleek dresses like this. Shes got a great body. She really does. She needs to show that off. So the next julian huff, when i first saw her look, i have to say i saw it from here up. I thought, oh, my gosh, this is beautiful, so edgy but fresh. So, unfortunately, the bottom half for me was a little distracting. I wanted to see much better. If we just streamlined it down. Again i would have preferred it without any feathers at all. Shes so young and so lovely, she can wear anything she wants. So beautiful. It was a punk princess moment, so it definitely was a look, and i like it, but i thought its a little borklike. Remember when bork you have to give her fashion points for taking a risk. So next you were talking about. Halle berry is wearing versace. We have a cutout here at the hip. I would rather see it in a solid or darker color. Lets take a look. I thought the darker color or something that wasnt as busy with the pattern and the cutout might be a little better. What do you think . Its hard for her not to look utterly spectacular. Shes stunning. Right . She knows how to place her body for maximum effect. Some of the actresses wear beautiful clothes, but they stand there in ways that arent flattering. She always knows how to work it on the carpet. I dont see the cutouts thoeshgs. I wasnt crazy about those. It washes out a little bit with the print. I agree with you, kathie. Shes so stunning, she could wear anything. I like her hair short, really short. Bobbie, that was fun. Did you have fun doing it . We didnt get to i thought she looked drop dead. Okay. I loved the print, and i wanted to see another care lena. Well show it online.

He was not this has gone viral now, this photo of tommy lee jones, who is stonefaced and not having it. Im glad he has not done the botox, because his face is a road map. I mean, he is so great in lincoln. Every bit of living in man has ever done is on his face. It kind of looked like taylor swift gave adel the stink eye. Did it look like that . Adels song skyfall of the better song. Taylor swift has got a lot going on right now. She was not immune, by the way. Tina fey got a jab into taylor swift last night. It stole the show as far as im concerned. You didnt see her reaction. They never showed it. What was it . They told her to stay away from michael j. Foxs son, and then tina fey said its time for taylor swift to have a little me time. A little me time. Does anybody in the house know how she was reacting . Was she laughing at it .

He is so allaround talented that when he does do something, you know its going to be good. He is a renaissance man. He never disappoints. True. What about justins ex, britney . I thought she and this boyfriend were together. He is a good guy. What happened . Its so weird because i believe lasts forever. Not really. You know what, there are all honey. Taxes and herpes, you can count on, baby. Forever. There are so many theory on why this didnt last. Some are saying look at that face. Some are saying she wanted more kids. He didnt. Some say she wanted him to be around more, but he was doing his own thing. Who knows . She has returned the 90,000 ring, and well all move on, allegedly. Shes going to make some huge fat deal to do one of those major Mega Performance things in vegasing allegedly. I heard a number like 100 million tossed around yesterday on the tv. Are you kidding .

Do you think that Catherine Bigelow is being descriminated against in any way because the torture thats contained in the movie because i havent seen the movie yet and want to, but its hollywood doesnt love that kind of torture. No. Look, they show some of the waterboarding and some of the technique that is they were using to get information out of people. Personally i was not shocked, offended. Look, its times of war. You would be naive to think that things arent going down in a certain way, and i dont think so. I think shes highly well respected. Especially there arent very many women in that position.

Half of all American Adults take a supplement as part of their normal routine. Should you start if youre not taking them . Theres some controversy about it. Which vitamins are right for you . Elizabeth summer, we love her. She has her dose of information for a healthier you. Were glad youre over your flu. Even Healthy People who know how to do all the right things get sick. Who would think . A lot of people do pop a multivitamin. First of all, is that the right thing to do . Should you take one . In my opinion yes. Why . Absolutely. You know, were last year of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the first vitamin. Before 1912 people were dying of vitamin deficiencies like skurvy. We have marginal nutrient deficiencies now, not clinical ones. You know, people are averaging three or four servings of fruits and vegetables. Not the nine they need. Less than one serve nine a day . Nine a day servings. Not the whole watermelon. I need to go back on my vitamin because i certainly dont get nine a day. 99 out of 100 americans dont even meet the minimum standards of a balanced diet. We should just take are these what you are recommending . I have a fourstep program here. First one is, yes, take a multi, a moderate close, broad range multi that supplies 100 of the daily value. Nutrients work as a team, so you dont want to supply the body with one at a time. Supply them in a ratio or a team. That daily value is the best we know. Turn the label over. Look for about 100, no more than 300 of the daily value for a wide range. Do a lot of those vitamins pass through you . I dont want to take 300 times what i need . You know, what i need. Three times what i need. Yeah, you dont need to be taking huge doses. And there are different age groups. Should you really look is this centrum silver, which i would be. Well, me too, baby. I know. Should i is it important that i take that one instead of the other one . Well, the reason why you should take the mature, whether a man or postmenopausal woman is we dont need as much iron in the days when we were menstrating. Were filling in the gaps. Theres a recent study from harvard that found that men too tha took a multi had a lower risk for cancer. Who knows . No one pill a day supplies enough of two Minerals Calcium and magnesium. If youre not drinking lots of milk, not eating lots of magnesium like whole grains and dark greenleafy vegetables take it in a two to one ratio. Be like 300 milligrams calcium, 150 milligrams of magnesium. My third step is the omega 3s. We got so Much Research on this now. We know that all the omega 3s lower your risk for heart disease. The dha in particular improves memory, possibly lowers the risk for alzheimers and improves depression by up to 50 in people that are the most difficult to treat. Ive been looking for the ones, though, that have, oh, shoot, algaefree. Why . Because apparently somebody told me that those are so much better for you. No. Thats wrong. Okay. This is why im asking. Fish get their the fatty fish, salmon, mac rel, herring, get their dha from eating algae. You go right to the source, then youre getting it from the original place that the fish are getting it. There was a recent study i dont care what jerry says. Im looking at it. You know, you guys, my mom died from complications of alzheimers. You Better Believe ive been following the research on this like a hawk. This is the best thing i have found so far. A day wouldnt go by that i dont take my dha. Weve got invite minimum d. If your multi doesnt have enough vitamin d, take an extra one. They my daughter said i was way deficient in vitamin d. You can get this tested. Have your vitamin d tested. Thats another important one. Absolutely. And, finally and, finally, dont waste your money on natural and time release and all that stuff. If you do want to get the cadillac instead of the volkswagen in terms of your supplementation, there are three nutrients that are better as natural, and thats chromium, celenium, and vitamin e. All right. Thank you. Happy new year to you. All right. Who is our biggest admirer . Well reveal our fan of the week. First, this is next up. Theyre going to get your book. They are .
