that's jackson shaking hands with trump today at walter reed as trump was departing the physical after it was over. in the wake of michael wolff's book which claims the president's closest aides regularly question his mental stability, dozens of experts urged the doctor to examine trump's neurological health citing trump's declining faculties for complex thought, rambling speech, difficulty completing a thought, along with suspect judgment, planning, problem-solving, and impulse control. but the white house ruled out a new logical exam insisting "trump is sharp as a tack." the white house is not legally required to disclose the result of today's physical and the 71-year-old who reportedly enjoys fast food, cake and ice cream, along with 12 diet cokes per day, can release whichever results he chooses. late today sarah sanders released a very brief statement from dr. jackson with jackson's name spelled wrong. "the president's physical exam today at walter reed national military medical center went exceptionally well. the president is in excellent health and i look forward to briefing som

when donald trump jr. himself was saying -- in the mid to late 2000s that overwhelmingly their money was coming from russians. and eric trump made a similar statement back in 2014. >> the president insists, as you know, that he has no financial dealings with russia. and he said last summer that probing his finances would, in his words, cross a red line. if the special counsel robert mueller is digging into money laundering, do you believe donald trump, the president of the united states, will use that as an excuse to try to end the overall russia probe? >> i hope not, wolf, and the best thing the president can do for the country and his presidency is to be truly cooperative. bob mueller has wide authority to pursue, you know, any crimes related to russia collusion. many witnesses have testified in open hearings where the public has been able to hear that a mechanism the russians have used over the years has been financial entanglements. so understanding donald trump's financial entanglements and relationsh

trump. bannon suggested that president trump was aware of the 2016 meeting between don jr. and a russian attorney at trump tower. bannon said the chance don jr. didn't walk the people up to his father's office is zero. bannon didn't join the campaign until 2 mongst later. this set off a feeding frenzy in the media. bannon characterizes the trump tower meeting as treasonous and unpatriotic. he predicted that mueller's team will crackdown jr. like an egg. jared kushner was also called out by bannon. this is all about money laundering. they go through paul manafort and jared kushner. it's as plain as the hair on your face. the president responded in a blunt statement. he said steve bannon has nothing to do with me and my presidency. when he was fired issue he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. and: okay. here's my advice. i am playing dr. phil or judge judy here. some questions: who does this help? does this advance the consecutive populace agenda at all? what is going through both side's

what trump will say trump picks up his information from the same news sources these voters hear something conspiracy theory and breitbart news or something on fox trump here is a two says it and the viruses eye for eye for a die hard on the news and i heard that from president trump so he must be telling the truth if they're in a silo and it's really hard to break out silos so it's a self reinforcing cycle of mr. with many americans utterly distrust in the established media there was little the press could do to counter the mimes. sort of a way that these campaigns have you know traditionally been covered and. and that model of campaign coverage was not sort of created with donald trump in my hands trump's disregard for making true statements is something that a lot of reporters have had trouble dealing with as we're not used to it we're not used to politicians or press people just sort of straight out lie and. the mainstream media is disrupted and because the mainstream media is disrupted truth is disrupted and if truth is disrupted you can just spread your own version of it. i don't kno

whether you like trump or dislike trump. there is plenty in there. it's so rare that you can find a writer that does that. howie: that means a lot to me coming from you. ivanka trump always got good press until the campaign. she was stunned to realize her liberal friend wanted her to ease their pain, and she was supposed to contradict her father's position. somehow she got blamed on social issues. one of many, ivanka's unwavering loyalty to a sexual abusers and misogynist. mollie: a common theme is how donald trump breaks norms. but people don't think about how the media threw away so many norms that are important. we didn't talk to chelsea clinton about her father. howie: the notion she'll turn or father around on issues he ran on. i report about the leaks and the warfare between ivanka and jared and steve bannon. there is a scene where in the oval office in front of the president she accuses steve bannon of leaking against them and he turns around and accuses her of planting leaks. mollie: suggesting she did leak. howie: this was before steve banno

at that point, then donald trump, private citizen, donald trump, said it was the president's responsibility to lead the way out. now, it is this president's responsibility to do the same. a predictable fight broke out between republicans and democrats. the white house called it a schumer shutdown referring to chuck schumer of new york. schumer called it a trump shutdown. regardless, it is an american shutdown. the white house came out with a blistering statement at the stroke of midnight about the shutdown. white house press secretary said this, senate democrats own the schumer shutdown. they put politics above national security and the ability to serve all americans. again, going after democrats, the white house press secretary. what they failed to mention were four republicans, four key republicans voted against this in the senate, lindsey graham, first among them. now the pathway forward is unclear. senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell calling for a solution february 8. the underlying issue remains the same, immigration. that is the central issue here that neither side has been able t

donald trump did not invent government shutdowns. they were a feature of the 1990s, as well as, of course, the obama administration. >> to simply say these are different personalities, there's one thing to say personality, but we're talking about common decency and disgraceful repugnant behavior in the highest office in the land. should we not be concerned about the impact on our culture and our future and the hate rising in this country? look at the market. the market is basically saying words don't matter. i like these policies. when you talk to trump supporters, they say i don't like how he behaves and what he has to say, but i like the policies. isn't that shortsighted? should we not add any element of thoughtfulness? >> we began talking about his low approval ratings. i would be worried if the president was enormously popular, and if people said i absolutely love the way that he us uses profane language or i'm delighted to hear he had affairs with porn stars that have been hushed up. that's not been happening. the opinion polls

trump is facing. if he wants to consider any kind of threat of military action, what north korea knows is that south korea would not agree to that right now at least south korea not in favor by all accounts of any u.s. strike against north korea at this point at least and you cannot do it without south korea's assent. going into year number two of the trump administration, the big question politically on the international stage perhaps from mr. trump, is he facing finally having to acknowledge north korea is a nuclear state, they will not give up their weapons. no indication kim is going to give it all up. and no indication there is a really viable military option politically against north korea. diplomacy, sanctions, looks like china and russia are still evading those to some extent. hard to see where it goes from her, north korea not giving it up. >> is it unusual to hear president trump being critical of russia? russia apparently helping north korea evade sanctions. >> it's almost a one-off for him

sebastien again, donald trump, the front page of the observer still, trump plays the blame game. we have had this curious thing with a budget was not passed on friday so there is no functioning us government on monday morning. federal employees will turn up and not get paid. it is interesting how this has been framed because chuck schumer, the democratic leader in the senate calls this a trump shutdown and donald trump calls it a schumer shut down. really it is extraordinary that the republicans control all three branches of the us government and this still happened. it shows you the unpredictability of donald trump. you cannot know what he says. i agree to some extent that this president is more difficult to deal with than others but it is not the president who determines budget, it is congress. the president does not have as much power as those at home i think. he'd does not get to set a legislative position. this is the 19th shut down since the 1970s and it isa 19th shut down since the 1970s and it is a lot scarier than it sounds. as it continues more and more people will see

i'm joy reid and today while donald trump and republicans are busy trying to get anything but trump shutdown to trend, after the failure to avert a budget shutdown, hundreds of thousands of american women and men across more than 250 cities took to the streets to protest the trump agenda. to demend equal rights for all people and celebrate the power of the vote. today's rallies happened to correspond with the first shutdown of a one party government ever. but they really mark one year since the first set of global record-breaking women's marches. one year since trump put his hand on the bible and one year of trump still not fulfilling his big campaign promise. >> nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i alone can fix it. >> joining me now from the march in los angeles, it is nbc news correspondent gina kim. tell us what you've seen and heard today. >> reporter: well, joy, as expected, there was a lot of anti-trump signs, a lot of anti-trump rhetoric and the event is just wrapping up right now. this event lasted eight hours. and organizers just announced a couple of minutes ago

trump was steaming. his face was all locked in, he was not having a good time. >> all kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. (laughter) for example... no, seriously, just recently, in an episode of celebrity apprentice, at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from omaha steaks. and there was a lot of blame to go around. but you, mr. trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. and so, ultimately, you didn't blame lil' jon or meatloaf. you fired gary busey. and these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. >> and he's being treated like a piñata by the president of the united states. and i think he felt humiliated. (applause) >> well handled, sir. well handled. >> but it just kept going and going, and he just kept hammering him. and i thought, "oh, barack obama is starting something that i don't know if he'll be able to finish." >> say what you will about mr. trump, he certainly would brin

trump, russia, trump, russia. but with the trump-russia collusion story now falling flat, that's kind of like the equivalent to methadone, it's only a maintenance drug that barely separates them from like a padded room in some asylum somewhere. and for over a year you have been subjected to russia, russia, russia, collusion, collusion, illusion. the only thing missing are facts, facts, facts. the media desperately repeating those words daily hoping that somehow if they say it enough it's going to come true. here's the problem, it's not true. there is to date zero evidence president trump colluded with russia, none. whatsoever. it doesn't exist. so the media now needed a new conspiracy theory that they can pass off as news to get themselves, well, back on their drug, get hooked again. in one sense it's sad, because these people really need help. they have no, let's say, they don't want to adhere to truth anymore. does the media ever -- when you watch the news do they ever talk about anything donald trump that he di

that's what has to worry not only trump but all those who work with trump and will continue to worry them, i think, for some time because i think this investigation has a long way to go. >> our thanks to our guests tonight for a fantastic conversation of our breaking news story. a break for us. we're back with more right after this. hi, i'm the internet! you know what's difficult? armless bowling. ahhhhhhhh! you know what's easy? building your website with godaddy. get your domain today and get a free trial of gocentral. build a better website in under an hour. in areas in the case of depressions. we had the united states on our side supporting us. supported our economy, trade, investment. we see a lot of support from united states to rwanda and, president, i wanted to thank you for the support we have received from you. we are looking forward to working with the united states and the african union where we are cutting out reforms of the african union so we get our act together to do the right things and that helps in cooperating with the united states to be more than official when w

dominated states i think donald trump if i was advising on trump he needs to bring on those republicans who voted with the democrats last night to to defund the government and that shows a failure of leadership from the republican side that there were four republicans five republicans in fact voted no one republican who didn't vote for senator mccain because of his health so he needs to get those people on side as well as well as bringing over a few more democrats if you want to keep the government funded mr mcgee as you seem to be most of the time getting all your hopes against a. president trump yesterday he had to meet on his own with chuck schumer give him money to question whether this is a legitimate move because ultimately it's not just one person it's about an establishment it's about the republican establishment both a both chambers is this someone who is undermining even the chances for the republican establishment to thrive in the near future. no he's just doing the mechanics of the art of the deal the negotiation tactics sometimes when you are negotiating with a key principl

is that the trump effect? donald trump almost seemed to hope that the world would leave america alone, but that is not how it works when you are u.s. president. the world has a habit of intruding. even the sturdiest wall in the most trenchant "america first" slogan can only protect you from so much. jon sopel, bbc news, on the u.s.-mexico border. jane: in spite of all that talk of eyewall, the u.s. is of course famously a nation of immigrants. the debate over who should be allowed in the country and who should stay has intensified. who are americans today? a new exhibit at the national museum of the american indian in washington addresses the issue of the very first americans who lived on the continent. i went to take a look. indian imagery is all around us. this exhibition asks the question why, and seeks to separate myth from reality. it takes stories we think we know, from the roots of thanksgiving to the battle of little bighorn, and invites americans to rethink the tangled and conflicted relationship with

>> well, again, john, there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russians, or trump and russians. no collusion. when you talk about interviews, hillary clinton had an interview where she wasn't sworn in. she wasn't given the oath, they didn't take notice. they didn't record. and it was done on the fourth of july weekend. that's, perhaps, ridiculous, and a lot of people looked upon that as being a very serious breach. but it has been determined that there is no collusion and by virtually everybody, so we'll see what happens. >> but would you be open to -- >> we'll see what happens. certainly, i'll see what happens. but when they have no collusion and nobody has found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely that you'd even have an interview. >> "we'll see what happens." that could be a potentially reasonable position for any potential witness to take. but let's be clear, it's a contrast from that fateful day right after jim comey gave his testimony under oath before congress, when donald trump struck a confident note about testifying. >> would you be willing to speak

we'd have president trump at this point. [laughter] but, you know, i think she would, actually, unite the democratic base -- paul: really? >> i think she has brand name recognition on par with donald trump. she has her own tv network, a business that she started and has been very successful. oprah magazine on. >>, o magazine on which she has appeared on the cover multiple times, 2.4 million subscribers. extremely popular. paul: but would the democratic base, dan, tolerate her given that her per sew that is not very i'd lodge ca and that, basically, the democratic party has moved left. what do you to do on single-payer health care or climate change. >> yeah. that raises the largest question, the democratic party's identity. democratic party professionals understand that the new base which is so far left really wants bernie sanders as their candidate. bernie happens to be a socialist. he's not a democrat. paul: and a proud one. [laughter] >> and a proud one. but that's what they want. and so they are probably going to start at

i'd vote for trump until trump is no longer there. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: california couple david and louise turpin plead not guilty to charges of imprisoning and torturing their 13 children. the house of representatives has passed a temporary measure to avert a government shutdown, although the bill is facing a difficult time getting through the senate. eight people have died as a storm causes widespread chaos across north—west europe. new zealand's prime minister, who became the world's youngest female leader last october, announces she's expecting herfirst child. i am not the first woman to multitask. i'm not the first woman to work and have a baby. and love is in the air. pope francis stuns a couple of flight attendants by offering

trump would run government like a ceo. does this former obama voter regret switching to trump? >> when i went into the voting booth and i pulled the lever, i was satisfied. i'm having buyer's remorse. laura: why? >> because it is not consistent. laura: a democrat in trump country. >> you get into these areas that no one has visited or taken the time to care, left it open and ripe for someone to step in like donald trump and say, hey, i am the guy who can fix this. laura: the populist mayor, with a tattoo of the town zip code, counts on his party to understand trump's appeal. >> it has got to be more than trump is awful, vote for us. it has to come down to an earnest, aggressive, populist message. laura: in his inaugural address a year ago, donald trump promised towns like braddock that he would give them back their jobs and their dreams. there is an early electoral test in pennsylvania whether the voters feel he is delivering. there is a special election in the state in what should be a safe republican seat, but the president is taking no chances. president trump: a real friend

donald trump is taking the opposite approach. also i should point out we heard from iran's reforming and they criticized u.s. involvement too. there is a lot of confusion here certainly, but i think the broader concern is iran is trying to blame outsiders with the white house stepping forward and saying we support you and everything you do and there should be change. they might make those tarnished as agents of an outside power. delicate certainly because there are many people on the streets expressing grievances that even the president himself they said was possibly justified. we are into the 6th day and it's getting more violent. >> thank you so much for that reporting and here with me at the table to share their reporting and insights, bloomberg and kimberly dozier and the weekly standards michael warren. happy new year, everyone. >> happy new year. >> i thought that last point that nick made was really, really interesting and the difference between how president obama dealt with the protest that happened back in 2009 which he

>> again, john, there has been no collusion between the trump campaign and russians or trump and russians. no collusion. when i watch you interviewing all the people leaving their committees, the democrats are all running for office and they're trying to say this, but bottom line, they say there's no collusion. and there is no collusion. but again, i'll speak to attorneys. there was absolutely no collusion. it's a democrat hoax that was brought up as an excuse for losing an election that frankly the democrats should have won because they have such a tremendous advantage in the electoral college. so it was brought up for that reason, but it has been determined there is no collusion and by virtually everybody, so we'll see what happens. >> would you be open -- >> we'll see what happens. certainly i'll see what happens, but pwhen they have no collusio and nobody's found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely that you'd even have an interview. >> crossing his arms, too, feeling defensive. his reluctance to say whether he'll testify to mueller is an about face because he was emphatic an

president donald trump for terrorizing the truth he said that trump's use of the term fake news had alienated america's allies any embolden the world's despots and he accused the president of putting the lives of journalists in the u.s. and around the world at risk the enemy of the people was how the president of the united states called the free press and twenty seventeen mr president. it is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by joseph stalin to describe his enemies it bears noting that so fraught with malice was the phrase enemy of the people that even the key to khrushchev forbade its use telling the soviet communist party that the phrase had been introduced by stalin for the purpose of quote annihilating such individuals unquote who disagreed with the supreme leader. well that is the reckoning there from a fellow republican and that just after one year in the white house well not everyone is ready to join in and condemn president trump and that includes my first guest tonight mr todd hines to get mr hunter to work as a u.s. di

donald trump was revealed as a donald trump he is today. he took a hard line out of the gates. he got into a lot of public fights about immigration and built a core base within the republican party and said that's the rhetoric i want to hear. that helped him beat the 16. had it been one on one, he wouldn't have done as well. >> i remember when ben carson made an inflammatory statement about muslims. he talked about it, and i said the sad news is his poll numbers will probably go up. and guess what. his poll numbers went up. >> this is the question. and this is the question for republicans. what about that big part of the republican base which stands with trump because of who trump is? and we've seen polling. polling asked people who support donald trump why. was it because of his policy or his rhetoric. most of them said it's because of how he acts. that's the question. >> joe, i agree with you in that the crisis is here, it's not coming. one reason is that i think this that you can have a presidency separate from the president is just not the way our system works. and i think

in trump tower with the rest of us during "access hollywood," it's ridiculous. >> donald trump himself said how he missed his old life. >> all of us miss our old lives. >> did you hear george w. bush or reagan or obama or clinton whine about how they missed their old lives? >> they do all the time. >> it is the utmost honor to be the president of the united states. it's not like it happened -- >> that's normal. >> so tim, is this less about just reacting to the book and more about how the white house is handling this kind of flurry of information and how the white house is now reportedly the president actually reaching out to allies to say it's him or me. where are you? how troublesome is this to you or how parallel is this to perhaps other presidencies? >> the president's obsession with this book is disturbing. the president should have more important things on his mind such as the possibility of reaching some kind of a legislative agreement with the democrats or daca and the wall. we haven't seen this level of obsession with the publication since the summer of 1971 when president nix

trump: we celebrate dr. king for standing up to the self-evident truths that americans hold so dear that no matter the color of our skin or the place of our birth, we are created equal by god. >> mr. president, will you give an apology for the statement yesterday? >> after the ceremony came an unceremonious commotion. >> mr. president, are you a racist? reporter: the sitting president being asked by a reporter if he is a racist. >> mr. president, are you a racist? reporter: it was behind closed doors in the oval office that donald trump allegedly can that immigrants from africa and haiti came from -- countries. donald trump said he used strong language in the meeting but not that word. he has been fiercely contradicted by a senior democrat who was present. senator: i cannot believe in the history of the white house that any president has ever spoken the word that i personally heard our president speak yesterday. to no surprise, the president started tweeting this morning, denying that he used those words. it

donald trump jr.'s meeting with russians treasonous. >> going after the president's son is probably not the best way to curry favor with anybody. >> what the president says now about his former friend. and a new book making surprising claims about the first lady. >>> plus chef curry. her nba might be king of the court. when it comes to the kitchen, she's the warrior. >> we have our jamaica johnnycakes. >> this is the specialty? >> this is the specialty, my recipe. >> celebrity chef ayesha curry dishing on her marriage and family life. >> one thing my mom told me was never lose yourself inside of your marriage. >> but first the "nightline 5." >>> not all fish oil supplements provide the same omega 3 power. megared absorbs three times better. one softgel has more omega 3 power than three standard pills. megared advance triple absorption. >> i'm never going to be able to sleep with this cold. i'll take a sick day tomorrow. >> on our daughter's birthday? >> moms don't take sick days. moms take nyquil sever

trump thinks it takes away u.s. jobs and send them overseas. >> the president is not wrong but like most things that's only a portion of the story. when it comes to trade it's not just a zero sum game. take a look. >> one of president's trump's first acts is to scrap a partnership. a free trade agreement making up 40% of the world's economy. now the president has his cross hairs aimed at the american free trade agreement or nafta with canada and mexico. >> every trade deal we have is d disasterous. >> reporter: the free trade deal aim to promote peace and prosperity in the world. it did that by opening up the country to trade and removing the barriers between them. >> everybody grows more and makes more money. that was the start of trade. it's been growing ever since. >> reporter: this is how free trade is supposed to work. let's say country a has a lot of one product the rest of the world wants, say corn. it can use its competitive advantage to export an excess of supply to country b, which doesn't produce enough o

the trump presidency is about trump. period. full stop. and it's hurting america." >> a lot of people are recognizing that now in their rear-view mirror. regardless of what you thought abbarack oba about barack obama's policy. >> i was the first person to write a critical piece about him when he took office. >> but you knew he loved america. >> wasn't sure he was ready to be president. but you could tell everything he did he did to make america better. you can say the same thing about george w. bush. did he make mistakes? he sure did. i criticized him harshly but i never once doubted that he didn't do what was best for america. i'll even go back to richard nixon. let's test your theory out. nixon believed what he was doing he was doing in the best interest of america in fighting communism. >> and no one ever doubted richard nixon's patriotism. on the other hand, if you don't question whether donald trump has divided loyalties, i this i you're not thinking carefully about who donald trump is and what he himself has said. >> how is he making
