tv   CNN Newsroom With Poppy Harlow  CNN  January 22, 2017 8:00pm-9:01pm PST

8:00 pm
good evening. it's 11:00 on the east coast, and i am poppy harlow joining you tonight from the nation's capital. new tonight we learned the president has invited top congressional leaders from both parties to come to the white house tomorrow to discuss his aen duh, and the news comes on the heels of the white house confirming early discussion pwz moving the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem, a move that would be significant and controversy. and today trump spoke on the phone with netanyahu who described the president as very nice, and the focus of the call was the iran nuclear deal and the civil war in syria.
8:01 pm
and then walking back remarks tonight she made this morning, saying the president would not release his tax returns after the much-cited audit is complete, and kellyanne conway said the president remains under audit and has not changed his view, and it's unclear whether he will or will not release his tax returns. cnn's white house correspondent has a look at what is ahead and what we can expect, jeff. >> president trump ending his second day in the white house different than his first day. he swore in some of his top advisers and he talked about how this moment is a moment for them to enact his agenda, not necessarily based on party or ideology. let's listen. >> as i said during my inaugural address, this is not about party, and this is not about
8:02 pm
ideology, and this is about country, our country. and it's about serving the american people. we will prove worthy of this moment in history, and i think it may very well be a great moment in history. so be proud, be very proud. >> by saying we will prove worthy of this moment, a different tone entirely than one day ago when he was talking about crowd sizes and blasting the media for how they reported his inauguration, and picking fights up and down the line. he sounded different today, and advisers told me that was intentional, and he was reading from a prepared remarks, prepared speech today in the white house, and is that the president that they hope will appear in public as this week goes forward, as he has a big list of agenda items including some executive actions perhaps tomorrow morning, and poppy, that is one of the challenges here, will donald trump be the
8:03 pm
candidate donald trump or the president donald trump, and we have seen in just two days it's a very distinct difference. poppy? >> it is indeed, jeff, and thank you so much for us at the white house tonight. when the president meets congressional leaders tomorrow he could face a skeptical audience when it comes to getting his agenda passed. let's talk about that with my panel. new york times contributor is with us, and alice stewart with us as well, a former strategist for ted cruz. josh, your take on what jeff just reported, and there are two different tones we heard from the president-elect to focus on crowd sizes and today a change in tone. what do you make of it? >> it's a roller coaster and unpredictable one at that, and one minute he is gracious and
8:04 pm
then kind and then mean -- >> we should praise him when he does good things and criticize him when he does bad things, but this whole roller coaster of unpredictable is unsettling, not just for journalist or reporters or foreign leaders, but everybody. i don't know if we are going to see it, but maybe let's stop somewhere and see what the agenda is -- >> josh, you are asking for something the president never showed once during the entire campaign. i am confounded by the fact -- well, he won, and i am confounded by the fact that people keep thinking he's going to change now. >> no, i am not saying he's going to change, but now he has more responsibility -- >> you are saying now he should change? >> no, i am saying now he should settle on what he wants to do
8:05 pm
and what he wants to be, not change, just pick one of the identities and stick with it. >> assuming he is going to change because there's a president in front of his name is a mistake for everybody, the media or citizens. i think the tone and tenuneteno always be the same, and he made it clear and vice president pence made it clear, the promises they made on the campaign they expect to follow-through, and we see that with their high priority with repealing obamacare, and what he is doing with the executive actions, a high priority on securing the border. >> obamacare is something not
8:06 pm
only he said time and time again he wants repealed, but he has been in line with his party on that, and what is the replacement going to look like? it's different when you get to something like building the wall. that's a place where he doesn't have all of the support of those in his party. was this a smart move to first focus first and foremost on repealing obamacare, and getting his party on the same page with him? >> it certainly is red meat for his party, no doubt about that, but what we are seeing is -- we will see more of this, too, and if we look at 20 million people losing their coverage, and we are seeing support for obamacare, and trump's factorability numbers looking the same with them going in opposite directions, and this could back fire quickly. >> we have not seen a replacement plan. >> he said we are not going to
8:07 pm
repeal it with nothing there. >> yeah. >> you are not sure? >> i am not sure. we are getting messages, we are going to repeal it, replace it, do it all at once and do it right up front. nobody thinks this can be done in a matter of weeks. >> let's talk about unity for a moment, shall we? >> let's. >> there was a place where i think a number of democrats support this, and some democrats may support it more than the republicans that think the government doesn't have any business spending on infrastructure. >> hopefully i do believe that
8:08 pm
you get a lot of republicans and democrats on the same side. i do want to say i do home president trump changes, and i want him to change and i don't want alternative facts, i want facts. i want him to tweet presidential. the bar is so low we on cnn is giving him props for him reading off a teleprompter and going with his script and not demonizing the minority. >> is that a fair assessment, alice? >> i think, look, donald trump has been and always will be donald trump, and i think those that say they want him to act presidential, i think it's an exercise in futility. the success of him whether in the business world or in the campaign world is he is a man -- he is very clear with what his goal is and he works hard and accomplishes it. that's why people voted for him. he outlined what his plan was to
8:09 pm
make america great again and he followed through and is making steps to follow-through on his promises. his style was not a secret on the campaign trail and people voted for him. that's the key. >> however, one promise he is not apparently following through on is to release his tax returns. kellyanne conway said this morning when she was asked if he will indeed release them. >> the white house response is that he's not going to release his tax returns. we litigated this all through his tax return, and people didn't care and voted for him, and let me make it clear, most americans are worried about what their tax returns will look like while he's in office and not his, and they are complying with all the ethical rules and everything they need to do to step away from his businesses and be a full time president. >> okay, and kellyanne conway
8:10 pm
said the american people don't care. they do care. 74% of them told cnn in our polling last week they do think he should release them, and not the number one issue but it matters to them, and equally as important is the fact we don't know now, because kellyanne conway told cnn denied and walking back that, saying the president is still under audit and has been advised by lawyers not to release his tax returns yet. can it be troublesome the american people can't get an answer on this? >> yes, working out the kinks, and hopefully that will get better, and i am not predicting change but giving them the benefit of the doubt, and what about the years he was not under audit -- >> not only he said he would release them, but so did mike
8:11 pm
pence and so did a lot of people speaking for him, and so if this is indeed what kellyanne conway said, they decided they are not going to, he's not putting himself in a difficult position, he's putting other people in a very tough position that vouched for him. >> i am one, and i think he should have done it in the campaign. i think the american people and the voters and the press deserve to see a full disclosure. that didn't happen. and at the end of the day, people still voted for him with those questions in their minds, they still voted for him. and i think the fact that we still have not seen him and there's not a clear answer on this, i don't expect to see them. i think there are more important things, really, on peoples' minds. they are concerned, truly, as kellyanne conway said, about their own taxes and jobs, and paul ryan assures the american people they are not going to pull the rugs out from underneath them and they are not sure about that, and i think this is a distraction, and anybody that is holding their breath for them is going to be
8:12 pm
blue. >> i don't think it's a distraction. >> why? >> because 50% of his base analysis say this is not important to see his taxes, and constitutional scholars say he is in violation of the constitution based on a clause. >> no, that's not true. >> this is so important because you have a president who might -- who might or could use and abuse the presidency to benefit himself. >> that's not true. that's not a violation of the constitution. >> allegedly it is. constitutional scholars say so. >> if he is getting money from foreign governments through shady business deals, that's -- >> he said there will be no more foreign deals during his presidency, and put it in control of his sons. something like this has never been done before, right? >> right. >> history is being written here. i want to address what has happened to the media in the
8:13 pm
last 24 hours. let's listen to what his white house spokesman, sean spicer, attacking the media. >> that's what you guys should be writing and covering, instead of sewing division about tweets and false narratives. the president is committed to unifying the country and that was the focus of his inaugural address, and the challenging is making it difficult. i'm here to tell you that it goes two ways. we are going to hold the press accountable as well. >> he's talking about the reporting on the crowd size. i am going to pull these up and you will look at two images, and one is an image of president obama's 2009's inauguration, and the other is trump's inauguration, and this is what was reported by the media and
8:14 pm
shown, et cetera, and sean spicer said five things about the crowd side that were not factual. there was reporting that the president wanted him to come out here and say this, and you were a communications director for ted cruz, if you were ever asked to say something that you believe was not factual, what do you do? >> you stress the importance of being correct with the media, and i can say none of my bosses i ever worked for said here's information that is not true, and -- >> what if ted cruz asked you to say -- here's the photos again. >> it's not a battle i would think, and it's clearly something the administration wants to flush out from the media, and this is a series of what they view as factual inaccuracies and misrepresentation by the press and this is something that they want to nip in the bud, and this
8:15 pm
is an important issue for them and many don't agree, and this is, and they are trying to put a flag in the ground and holding the press accountable. >> robert, is this administration fighting what voters would deem an important fight here? >> i can't see it. the two words that i have got for this entire weekend for donald trump are missed opportunity. >> right. >> he had a huge opportunity, and even being donald trump, and not asking him to change, but he had the seeds even in the inaugural address where he said i will give government back to the people, but where you give government back to the people, transparency is one of the biggest things you stand on, and by the way, 6 in 10 white working class americans want him to do that, and that's big. and then the fight we have over photos, from multiple sources, not just from one place, and it's not a fight that i don't think he would pick. he's undermining a real chance, i think, to show a bigger trump,
8:16 pm
not a smaller trump, but a bigger trump. >> this comes at the same time that the public doesn't love the media, right? recent poll -- i think it was gallup showed 32% of americans have a real trust in the media. >> no, i think the media has to do better, and up our game and be airtight and that's going to be our challenge for the next four years. >> a reporter for "time" inaccurately reported yesterday that the bust from martin luther king junior was removed -- >> he corrected it and apologized for it, and that's different than putting out falsehoods and being aub stau tphupbt about it. if you want to have a good relationship with the media it has to go two ways. >> does the trump administration really want a good relationship with the media because that means they have to give and take. >> 99% of the press 99% of the
8:17 pm
time are good and get their facts straight, and i think the world of the press corps we have in america, and god bless america for them, and there are times things are checked and corrected, and by the time it's tweeted out there, and the tooth paste is all over-the-counter and you can't put it back in the tube, and you can apologize once on a tweet, and once it's out there it's impossible -- >> none of us have ever seen a press like that, and for a reason, and he came out huffing and puffing and admonishing a friend, and i had a friend, and she was watching and her family is from syria, and she looked and said wow, this is what happens in the middle east, and that's not a compliment by the way, and he lied and said this was the biggest crowd ever, ever to be at an inauguration, and no, number one, it was not, you saw the photo, and the tv
8:18 pm
ratings were higher for both obama inaugurations, and the riders on the subway were for the women's march than trump, and that's another lie. that's how insecure he is about sizes, whether it's hands or crowds -- >> i have to leave it there. coming up, president spoke by phone with israeli prime minister, netanyahu, and that included an invitation. we will take you live to jerusalem next. ecial edition. this is one gorgeous truck. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actually there's 5. aaaahh!! ooohh!! uh! holy mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style. which one's your favorite?

8:21 pm
the white house tonight saying it's in the beginning stages of talks to move the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem, and it's something donald trump promised to do during the campaign, and palestines criticizing the possible move, and we are joined tonight from jerusalem.
8:22 pm
we have seen -- we are looking at right there, and we have seen the protests from palestinians, and how are palestinian leaders reacting to the news? >> reporter: we heard from the chief palestinian negotiator before this phone call saying that if they moved the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem that the palestinians could revoke their recognition of israel as well as revoke all agreements with israel and we are hearing from the palestinian president and the king of abdullah jordan, and king abdullah has said he is going to work with regional partners and international partners to make sure this doesn't happen. donald trump is riding a wave of popularity of middle east leaders who thought president obama ignored them, and we are
8:23 pm
hearing from israeli officials, israel is very much for moving this capital from tel aviv to jerusalem, and we heard from the mayor of jerusalem, and he said potus announcements sends a clear message, jerusalem is israel i indivisible capital and we are here to bring the u.s. embassy home. very controversial, this move, this potential move of bringing the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. >> we know on this phone call today between president trumps and the prime minister, netanyahu, there was a big invitation for netanyahu to come to the white house next month. do we know if he will make the trip? >> definitely, poppy. this is something is that the talk of the town here in jerusalem, about prime minister netanyahu going over and talking to president trump. they have a wide range of issues they have to discuss.
8:24 pm
the war in neighboring syria, and the conflict between israelis and palestinians as well as the iran nuclear deal which netanyahu says is a bad deal and would like to see it changed. but this meeting between the two really is probably going to set out the future of what the path between -- the path forward for israel and the united states, what that relationship is going to look like, poppy. >> all right, thank you for the reporting and let's talk more about this and this plan, this embassy move, and the broader context of the new relationship clearly between the leader of israel and the new leader of the united states. so nice to be with you and not remotely from new york to washington. big picture here, and a lot of talk about the embassy but there's much more at stake here? >> absolutely. we are so focused on the embassy because there's so much back and forth and trump said during the
8:25 pm
campaign, and there's so much the leaders need to discuss, and when you talk to the leaders, and you hear cabinet secretaries, this is not the most important issue in the relationship. israeli issues said the threat posed by iran and trying to overturn or strengthen the iran nuclear deal, the violence in syria and the civil war and how that affects israel with hezbollah and other groups, and also improving israel's group with his neighbors, and yes, they want donald trump to move the embassy and they welcomed it, but this is not the most important issue, and i bet when the prime minister comes here and he's expected to come early next month, that's not going to top the agenda, poppy. >> what changes now? i know the relationship between president obama and netanyahu, not good on a personal level, but it didn't affect the amount of financial aid that the united states gave to israel whatsoever. what changes do you think
8:26 pm
materially in the relationship between the united states and israel under president trump? >> the tone will be different, and president trump and his adviser, and the u.s. ambassador, if he is confirmed, very pro israel, no daylight between the u.s. and israel, and they are going to take their cues from israel -- >> you say better, but better from the israelis' point of view? >> the palestinians are very concerned they are going to get the short end of the stick. i will say i talked to some palestinian officials and they say, actually, it could be better in the sense that if prime minister netanyahu trusts president trump a little more, perhaps he could, if he wanted to, gain concessions from the prime minister to say listen, i have your back on this, and prime minister netanyahu didn't feel he had his back on the iran
8:27 pm
deal, and also didn't feel he had his back on the united nations with the controversial vote on settlements, and president trump has said that he wants to make peace between israelis and palestinians, and he is going to put his son-in-law in charge, and he called it the ultimate deal. the man who wrote "the art of the deal" wants to make the ultimate deal. >> what role do you think his son-in-law could have in all of this? >> he said he will be the one to make mideast peace. and not sure he has a long history with arab states and the palestinians, which are all going to be so important into getting some kind of comprehensive peace plan that will not only make peace between israelis and palestinians but will hopefully get peace between israel and its arab nations, and rex tillerson, who has not been confirmed yet, has very good
8:28 pm
relations with arab leaders so hopefully he can play a part in this, and not only jared kushner, but ban steve bannon is supposed to take a big role, and when you talk about diplomacy, what they are hoping this will be in the context of something larger, and you can't do it in a vacuum because that's going to cause a lot of violence in the region and will make palestinians very unhappy. >> going to keep you busy. >> going to keep me very busy. >> so nice to have you on. coming up, live in the cnn "newsroom," to sports and a dancing very, very happy team. his team, the atlanta falcons, they are going to the super bowl. we are headed live to the field in foxborough, massachusetts, and the falcon's opponent to

8:31 pm
the super bowl is set and its nfl royalty against a team that has not played in the dance in 15 years, and the patriots,
8:32 pm
it will be their record ninth game, and the falcons will be there. let's talk to hines ward who is live in foxborough, massachusetts, and was at the game. do you have two super bowl rings? >> i do have two super bowl rings but i did not wear my rings and did not want to give bad luck to my steelers, but maybe i should have changed that way. i will tell you -- go ahead! >> go for it. >> ready? yeah, this was the seventh super bowl appearance for tom brady and coach belichick, and we know tom brady did not play well in the last game in the divisional game but it's rare to see him play bad in back-to-back games,
8:33 pm
but tonight brady at the age of 39 showed us why he is still the king of the mound. he played flawless, and he put a beatdown on my steelers and i had my head down the whole way in the media room, but the starter goes to the unsung hero, he had 180 yards receiving, and two touchdowns, and this is his first year with the patriots. just think, he's only played one year of college football. he was a lacrosse player, and let me tell you, there's always the one player nobody is talking about that comes up big in the big game, and that just happens to be chris hogan. >> i am very sorry about your steelers, my friend, however, we must move on and as you look in your crystal ball and as you look ahead to two weeks from now, who is going to take it away? is this going to be a ninth game and a sixth victory for the pats, or is this going to be the
8:34 pm
falcon's time? >> i think it might be the falcons. you never know. they are playing good right now, the falcons. they played the last game in the georgia dome and went out with a bang, led by mvp candidate, matt ryan, and he showed everybody why he belongs in the conversation of elite quarterbacks. poppy, he put on a passing clinic against the packers defense. he was almost flawless, and ended up throwing to almost 400 yards and accounted for almost five passes. they put a beatdown on the packers and slowed down the red-hot packers, and blew them out, 44-21. i can't wait to see the falcons, their second super bowl appearance by the falcons, and the city of atlanta has one championship championship, and that was in 1995. the patriots in houston, i can't
8:35 pm
wait, and it should be a good one, though. >> i know you were complaining or wining about how cold it is out there, so why don't you warm up by doing -- what did you call it, the dirty bird? >> reporter: the dirty bird. hah. >> that made my night. on a personal note, thank you to my entire team to the control room for working 24 straight hours instead of watching the game. thank you all. we'll be right back. but actually, the majority of people pay for data they never use. that's right, two out of three people use less than five gigs. now verizon introduces the one plan that's right for you. switch, and for just $55 get five gigs on america's best network. that's tons of data at a cost that's less than an unlimited plan. and the best part, no surprise overages.
8:36 pm
finally, all the data you need, on the network you want. verizon. for millions of baby boomers there's a virus out there. a virus that's serious, like hiv, but it hasn't been talked about much. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. that's because hep c can hide in your body silently for years, even decades, without symptoms and it's not tested for in routine blood work. if left untreated, hep c can cause liver damage, even liver cancer. but there's important information for us: the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested for hep c. all it takes is a simple one-time blood test. and if you have hep c, it can be cured. be sure to ask your doctor to get tested for hep c. for us it's time to get tested.
8:37 pm
it's the only way to know for sure. is caringing because covering heals faster. for a bandage that moves with you and stays on all day, cover with a band-aid brand flexible fabric adhesive bandage. befi was active.gia, i was energetic. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better.
8:38 pm
lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica. president trump ran on a platform of jobs. he promised the american people he would bring back jobs lost from overseas to global trade and automation and in fact president trump promised to create 25 million jobs through
8:39 pm
his doctrine, buy american and hire american. that's a tall order and 25 million would be the most jobs ever created by a single president. and heather is with me from new york tonight. i know you dig into these numbers daily. this would top the nearly 23 million jobs that were added under president bill clinton's terms and that was during the boom of the '90s. could trump reach 25 million? >> this is going to be very, very hard to do. no doubt about it. as you mentioned, it would be the most of any president, and it would be more than double the just over 11 million jobs added under president obama, so in my mind trump is drawing an economic red line here to say this is what he wants to deliver for america and his supporters, and it's a great economic legacy. how in the world can he do this? he has three key policy plans under the economy, and the first that we talk a lot about is cutting taxes.
8:40 pm
cutting taxes for you and i and individuals and cutting taxes for corporations, so that reaganesque approach, if we cut taxes businesses will want to invest more and create jobs more, and the second thing we are seeing it happen already this week, is trade. he wants to renegotiate trade deals including the north american free trade agreement, nafta that we have with mexico and canada, and that's a bit more questionable how that will play out on the jobs, and will that help or hurt is a bit of a question mark. the final part of what people think will grow jobs, he wants to do a lot of spending, to spend a lot of money to repair roads and bridges, and help that infrastructure, and that could create some jobs. >> upwards of a trillion-dollar infrastructure spending plan,
8:41 pm
and some democrats are in support of, but he's got roadblocks. what are the biggest challenges, roadblocks, that will be tough to get around to reach 25 million? >> there's a lot of roadblocks. obviously congress has to go along with a lot of these plans but a bigger one from an economicperspective, and a lot of jobs are not going overseas or to china, but a lot of these jobs are being lost to technology and robots. i spent last week in lordstown, ohio, in a big gm factory there, and that factory used to employ 15,000 people in the late '80s, and now it employs just over 3,000, and they still make a lot of cars but they are being made by cars, and one worker said there used to be a human, when i started to work here a couple years ago that physically put a spare tire in the trunk, and
8:42 pm
that job is now done by a robot. trump has to fight against this big push towards automation. >> i think it's important for us to remember, the market rally that we have seen in the stock market post election is not correlated necessarily directly to a jobs rally that we may see. >> that's definitely true. president obama was great for the stock market. the stock market nearly tripled under president obama, and we did see good job growth towards the end of his presidency, but the market was going up a long time before we started to see the job growth, so just because the market is optimistic doesn't mean main street will benefit. >> although it does give businesses confidence, and when they are confidence, they hire, and you can see that correlation. >> yeah. >> we have to leave it there. on that note president trump announced he will begin renegotiating nafta when he meets with the leaders of mexico
8:43 pm
and canada. listen. >> we will be meeting with the president of mexico, and we will start some negotiations having to do with nafta. everybody have hear of nafta? i ran a campaign somewhat based on nafta. but we are going to start renegotiating on nafta and immigration, and on security at the border. >> that was another big campaign promise that he hit hard in his inaugural address, put america first. that's music to the ears of many, many people who have lost their good-paying u.s. manufacturing jobs. let's talk about all of this with the president of the alliance of american manufacturing. nice to have you with us. >> poppy, good to be with you. >> just diving into nafta, he said he will meet with trudeau and enrique pena nieto of mexico and renegotiate this, and the u.s. chamber of commerce says 6
8:44 pm
million jobs are dependant on trade with mexico and it matters with u.s. jobs if you scrap it. >> if you just repealed nafta there would be a downside to it, just like repealing obamacare will, and nafta was negotiated more than 20 years ago when we didn't have cell phones or technology like that, and in an era where these companies were not facing competition from asia and china, and in the heartland in particular, nafta can be a curse word, and people do not like it and they expect action. >> you can understand why, if my job got replaced by a robot i would be ticked off, too, and it's not just nafta, it's automation, and that's not going to change and one thing important to note, the guy that
8:45 pm
trump tapped to run labor, to be the labor secretary is a ceo of a fast-food restaurant, he said how much he likes automation in restaurants, and they never show up late or take vacation and there's never a slip and fall or a discrimination case. how is that going to shake out? >> technology and automation are facts of life, and we do not want to turn back the clock, that would be a huge mistake. >> that would set america back. >> absolutely. at the same time i think there could be a future where there are robots, and manufacturing jobs, and the new battery plant, 6,000 people working with robots. if we get policy back, and tax code right and some of the trade policy right, there will be an opportunity for new manufacturing jobs, and they will look different than the manufacturing jobs -- >> but they will be
