declares the house until noo mr. trump: an went to various firms and ordered a very, very strong hacking defense and they tried to hack the republican national committee and they were unable to break through. wreef to do that for our country. it's very important. reporter: attempts to build a better relationship with president putin. mr. trump: president putin put out a statement today this fake news was indeed fake news. this totally never happened. of course he's going to say that. i respected the fact that he said that. i'll be honest, i think if he did have something they would have released it. they would have been glad to release it. had they broken into the republican national committee, i think they would have released it just like they did about hillary and all the horrible things that her people like mr. poe desta said about her. what he said about her was horrible. if somebody said about me what podesta said about hillary, i was the boss, i would have fired him immediately. what he said about her was horrible. but remember this, we talk about the hacking. hacking's bad and it

heard from mr. trump today. and everything sounds very positive. to how many is promises he can keep alienating the democrats. if we heard this with the democrats and trying to reach across the lines, i would be more enthused. why is it that he can talk to only republicans? there has to be some unity between both parties or we will be at a standstill. host: do you think the democrats would welcome president trump to their retreat? the house democrats? caller: it is being publicized. everyone is aware of it. it seems like he has to have friends on both sides of it. i like everything he has said so far. milwaukee, wisconsin. this is edward on our others line. caller: hello. host: go ahead, edward. you'd your television. -- mute your television. caller: i support president trump. there's two things were he's really off the track. he talks about our defense being decimated and weak. we spend more than the next 10 nations combined. this has been going on for decades. how can we be weak spending that kind of money? second is how he's going to bring the jobs back. of jobs are lost to t

talked about lewis' comments about mr. trump and i would like to ask you about mr. trump's comments about lewis, the president elect called lewis all talk, talk, no action. can he really say that about the man who got his head cracked open walking across the bridge in salma, alabama on bloody sunday, all talk no action? do you think that's appropriate? >> i think donald trump has the right to defend himself when someone of john lewis' stature, someone who is not only an icon in the civil rights movement but also someone who by virtue of sacrifice on that day that we know as bloody sunday he crossed the bridge and suffered that abuse and it was -- it was through that that the voting rights act, for someone to use his stature to use terms like this is not a legitimate president, it's just -- it's just deeply disappointing to me. i hope he reconsiders it, but what donald trump was talking about there was literally generations of failed policies coming out of washington, d.c. that have failed too many families and too many cities across this country. i will tell you, donald trump is a man who

mr. trump have the around the world. we are going to talk about that and much more. very special guest the man himself frank anthony. rick welcome back to the show. >> that's great to be here. >> it's a new season of a different way we look at terrorism policy. the way we look at the refugees coming into this country. how we look at our poorest borders. to take a step back, and give the border patrol and opportunity to do their job instead of weakening , as we talked so oftenabout. are you optimist ? >> i think what the american people said they wanted, which is very much what you just described. as a source of comfort and yes optimism. the challenges that the president-elect will have an implement and the policies he laid out, i think most explicitly on august 15 and of course the campaign, to address the islamic state, that most notorious of terrorist organizations right now . but of the jihadist more generally. to stop bringing them into the country. and to end the kind of willful blindness we have talked about a lot over many years. mainly, the failure to even understand the

aim at germany plus chancellor. mr. trump: i think she made one very cap traffic mistake and that was taking all of these illegals. brent: and it's not jujust angea merkelel's migration policies, e is also skeptical on the future of nato and the european union. we will get reaction from right here in n berlin. and coming up, a cargo plane crashes into a village in kyrgyzstan, killing at least 37 people. the turkish and 737 was trying to land in fog. helena: and reporting live from the annual meeting of the world economic forum in davos with a trump presidency and brexit looming large, local economic leaders have a lot on their plates. brent: good to have you with us. in just five days, donald trump becomes the 45th u.s. president and already, he's pulling no punches when it comes to criticizing one of the u.s.'s closest allies. in his latest interview, trump says the german chancellor, angela merkel, was wrong to allow hundreds of thousands of refugees into germany, describing them as illegals. trump says merkel possible open-door policy was a catastrophic mistake. reporter:: a fa

first one that i miss since i been in the congress." mr trump called lewis, quote "all talk, talk, talk -no action or results." but lewis risked life and limb to bring civil rights change to america--and now at least 24 democratic members of congress say they will not attend inauguration, many citing mr. trump's words against lewis as a motivation. but lewis is just one of several targets of mr. trump's ire over the weekend: "i think mr. trump has to understand is that this is more than being about him and it's about the united states and our national security." after cia director john brennan's critiques on fox, mr. trump tweeted -quote- "was this the leaker of fake news?" and after another snl skit poked fun at the president elect, "20-million people could going to be president, we're all going to die. [laughs]" mr trump tweeted- "saturday night live is the worst of nbc." and as the inauguration team is rehearsing for friday.... so are protestors with rallies for obamacare spreading across the nation. dc is preparing for bigger protests on saturday...upping the inital estimate from 20

, nbc and cbs in of mr. trump, which i don't have any great argument with. nature of media is you are holding them accountable negativends to be more but there was very little negative news coverage of clinton. i think there was plenty to cover in both so it concerned me. to the actual e election day in fact just prior eekend before it was quite blatant and i sent a letter to before dcast c.e.o.'s that weekend and suggested that perhaps we should have a hearing whether there is a in a bias they are engaged that is very anti-trump and decided after i the election not to do hearings but i think we need to explore the ossibility with companies. host: be specific. what were some examples of what before the election that led to you that conclusion? representative cramer: with regard to mr. trump i don't any question there was a lot of surveys and harvard studies and things that would demonstrate that. he last several days a lot of attention given to certainly you the release of video footage that was quite old of trump, some of his vulgarities and a lot of attention o that and interest

disparaged for months over their russia meddled election.sidential mr. trump acknowledged that the mr. trump acknowledged that the of. has been the target cyber attacks but assured all americans that there was absolutely no effect on the election, the including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with machines. but according to the version of the intelligence report, "vladimir putin and the russian government help president-elect trump's election chances when discrediting hillary clinton and publicly contrasting him."favorably to it went on to report "we expect moscow will apply such efforts influence future processes worldwide." does trump have to gain by his skepticism for u.s. intelligence and praise for putin, jeff? jeff: seldom do we see a declassified version of a report like this. it was controversial several weeks ago when president obama the review but i think this will certainly will stand through history coming on the heel of the hearings this week on capitol hill but the said, he were, as you ordered an influence campaign. president putin ordered the discred

they do with these issues? now that mr. trump is dealing with it, they are angry with him. for what? i am an african american woman. i was there at the inauguration. -- to give there to him, you know, congratulations. and i did say a prayer for him. i am proud. i am proud of mr. trump. i say clean house, mr. trump. and god is with you. protesters at the inauguration? there were some protesters trying to block access for those who wanted to watch the proceedings from the mall. caller: yes, there were, and i did see some of them down there. they really do not understand the dynamics that is going on in this country. i believe they just wanted to make noise down there. mr. trump is getting the job done. i am so proud of this guy. god bless him. and all his endeavors. int: francisco is bloomfield, new jersey, and independent. good morning. you?r: how are you answered my call. my comments are pretty simple. i really wanted to ask katrina, being a progressive democrat, that she talked about, and her association with bernie and the -- youth,with the use i wanted to ask what she thinks are

open up the gates here. allow people to flood into this area where we are just behind us. mr. trump will officially take the oath of office at noon and become the 45th president of the united states. first, let's go back to kin wood, studios there with nbc 10 bill henley. with the most accurate forecast in the town. bill, how is it looking there. >> it is cold this morning. temperatures much colder this morning. fortunately at this hour, it is dry. i do expect rain during the day. it won't here first thing this morning. philadelphia 33 degrees below freezing. the suburbs, new jersey, and lehigh valley just dropped to the 20s right now. 28 degrees right now in easton. skies will see clouds take over this morning. maybe a little limited sunshine and 31 degrees at 8:00. mostly cloudy and chance of light showers at 11:00 this morning. temperatures will be climbing ahead of the rain. there's no icing threat here. you'll need your umbrella during the day. just light showers for philadelphia. suburbs, new jersey, shore see light rain showers in the area. d.c. could see some light showers as wel

going great. >> mr. trump? sir, what exactly did you discuss with mr. trump? i was invited here by the transition team, the trump transition team. it was a really good meeting. and thingsbout golf like that, people we knew, people in common, and then we .ot down to the crux of it all he introduced me to been carson, the new head for housing and urban development. we are going to team up and see if we can bring about some positive change in the inner cities, which i felt was my own agenda, and he agreed. he wants to do something. he realized he needs some allies in that department. he seemed really sincere about it. is definitely one, another one they want to start with is detroit. in allto do some things of the major inner cities to see if we can bring about some change and help these young people out, so that is why i am here. it was a successful meeting. he seemed really sincere. >> thank you, sir. steve: well, you know, not much up into politics. i ain't going to pass a background check. it's me following my friends like president obama, as he told everybody, get out from behind

with russia, no doubt about it. i'm happy mr. trump wants to try to improve things, mr. obama did him a favor by imposing relatively mild sanctions compared to the crime are mild punishment, all president trump is to continue on with something that's already in motion. frankly doesn't hurt russia that much but send a message that each time you do something even more unacceptable we will up the anti-i hope mr. trump realized that's important to send. my expectation is he'll keep the sanctions in place, they're not bad to give a deal to begin with that and compared to what russia did to this country, it's a pretty mild punishment >> do we get any sense, obviously he's gone brother with the intelligence community and is going to have to rely on them heavily especially when you're talking about russia or any foreign policy, are you getting any sense that maybe from his people, from trump people that perhaps, you know, his attitude is going to change towards them and realized once he's in office we got to work together >> that's great question, i think it will change for a couple of re

, effectively making mrtrump of trump 0rganisation, effectively making mr trump of the landlord. trouble is, several of the tenants are being investigated by government regulators and, if they are found guilty of any wrongdoing, they could stop operating, which means they will no longer be paying rent to mr trump but, as president, mr trump could push for more lenient sentences or could push for more lenient sentences 01’ make could push for more lenient sentences or make the charges go away, effectively ensuring he continues to make money. if we make way further uptown, we find ourselves at deutsche bank, one of mr trump's biggest lenders. the german bank continued to work with him even as several of these businesses went bankrupt. deutsche bank is facing billions of dollars in fines from the us government stemming from the financial crisis. regulators could rule with a softer touch given the bank ‘s history with president elect donald come. 0ne., i have shaded to examples of potential conflicts. move overjust a few blocks and you end up at ground zero for the trump busines

us bring jobs home. >> two points. first, regarding mr. trump's delusional statement the 3 to 5 million people voted illegally in the last election. that is a total nonsensical statement. but what i fear about that statement and what is something we should all worry about is when donald trump talks about 3 to 5 million people voted illegally, he is sending a message. to every republican governor in this country to go forward with voter suppression. the great political and democratic crisis we face now in this country is not voter fraud it is voter suppression. and my belief is we have got to make, do everything we can to make sure that everybody in this country is legally able to and is able to vote. terms of the tpp i want to congratulate the millions of trade union in this country and their union. they fought long and hard to defeat the tpp and i personally am glad that it is dead and gone. for the last 30 years we have had a series of trade policies from nafta to p npr, with china which has resulted in the worth of billions of decent paying jobs in this country and a race to

seen more than enough of mr. trump to show that analysis is pretty much on the mark. one would have to understand that my primary concern with donald trump is not ideological, although i am a conservative and he is not, and that worries me. i think he is ideologically rootless. my concern about him has always been temperamental. i think his temperament and character are deeply problematic. i think you see also the manifestations of it. you saw it during the campaign. i think he is a man who is compulsive, the addictive, and impulsive. he does not abide by norms or standards. i think everything for him comes down to him. is erratic, and that is dangerous to have in a president. that is fine in a reality television star. that may help the ratings. when you are president, you have a lot of power. i do not see a man who is reflective or has any kind of self-restraint. i do not even see the people around him have the capacity to restrain him. he won an election that was is historic. i am willing to give him the fact that he is able to tap into certain things in the american public. i just t
