>> wise words. 7 to 9 hours? i don't remember the last time i had that. >> unrealistic for us. we have a lot of news to talk to you about this morning. >> next hour starts right now. u.s. vice president mike pence is in munich, germany for a security summit, trying to reassure u.s. allies about the trump administration's commitment to them. >> the president's behavior undermined the image of the united states among a broader european population. >> members of the senate intelligence committee got a briefing from fbi director james comey. >> this briefing was about russia, likely most effective investigation into russian meddling into the 2016 election. >> this administration is running like a fine tuned machine. >> i think there are significant function in national security apparatus. >> america is going to start winning again, winning like

never, ever before. up and at em. i am christi paul. >> i am victor blackwell. good morning. mike pence is playing top diplomat, reassuring nato members that the u.s. will stand by the commitment to the transatlantic partnership. and vowing that russia will have to answer for actions in crimea. >> know this. the united states will continue to hold russia accountable, even as we search for new common ground which as you know president trump believes can be found. >> but russia appears to be pushing back on those comments arguing it is the expansion of nato that's creating tension. the country's foreign minister rebuffed reporting that russia meddled in the u.s. election saying he, quote, so no facts

that russia played any part in any hack. meantime, state side, president trump is returning to familiar stomping grounlds, holding a rally later this afternoon in an airplane hangar in melbourne, florida. this is his first campaign rally four weeks into his presidency, a campaign rally is how the white house is characterizing this. >> donald j. trump is paying for it, that's who is organizing tickets. ryan nobles is covering the president's return to the podium this afternoon. so why is there a campaign rally after the inauguration? i think that's the central question here. >> victor, it is a great point, also a very good question. the president is only 29 days into his administration. why is he already back on the campaign trail and as christi mentioned, this is how the white house is describing the event that will take place at this airport outside melbourne. but in many respects this could be a continuation of what we saw on thursday, that 77 minute

press conference where trump tried to essentially talk past the filter of the media and talk to the american people and specifically those americans who passionately still support him and his administration. he is expected to tout the fact he is keeping his promises at this rally today in orlando, specifically the fact that he is attempting to create jobs. listen to what he said yesterday at the airplane factory in south carolina at the boeing plant when he talked about job creation. >> greatest people anywhere in the world, we have the greatest spirit and you just look at what's going on today in our country, you look at what's happening with the jobs, you look at what's happening with plants moving back into our country, all of a sudden they're coming back. >> so what the president is hoping to show is that his support remains passionate, expect a big crowd at the rally this afternoon outside orlando.

victor? >> all right, ryan, thank you. talk about vice president mike pence, he's on a reassurance tour of sorts in europe, easing european allies' concerns or trying to regarding president trump's foreign policy agenda. earlier he spoke at the security conference where he reaffirmed the u.s. commitment to nato. elise laugh i can is joining us, what else did he say and what was the reaction? >> after that bitter campaign where trump called nato obsolete, put into question whether he would support the nato alliance, it was important for pence to assure the allies the u.s. was firm in commitment. he said the u.s. would stand by nato. he said their success is the u.s. success, he also said it was really important for nato members to pay their share. take a listen.

>> the promise to share the burden of ex-opinions has gone unfulfilled for too many for too long and oh roads the nature of the alliance. when one ally fails to do their part, it junld mines our ability to come to each other's aid. >> reporter: he is talking about each member paying cap of 2% of their defense budget. i think he met with german chancellor angela merkel, went a long way to allaying concerns that the u.s. was supportive of nato. the open question is the u.s. relations with russia, even though he did say the u.s. would hold russia to account, he was vague on whether the u.s. would keep sanctions on russia and didn't really layout policies about what the u.s. would be doing, a lot of specifics, but i think set the right tone for going forward, and now of course he travels to brussels where he will be meeting nato leaders

there to discuss the alliance. >> all right. elise labott, good to see you this morning. thank you. friday, fbi director james comey had a closed door briefing with members of the intelligence committee. afterwards, marco rubio tweeted this. i am confident, senate intel will conduct thorough investigation of putin interference and influence. to discuss, bring in amanda terkel with senior reporter steven collins. good morning. i want each of you to weigh in on this tweet. first, you, steven. what do you green from senator rubio tweeting this after a classified briefing, no other senator said anything, tweeted anything. this from the florida senator. >> it is very interesting, victor. it is an amazing meeting. you don't often have a meeting in a closed door session and all

come out and are all on the same page. nobody talked after that meeting. there were a lot of reporters outside, none of the senators would say anything about what happened, and that sort of lends credence to the marco rubio tweet that this will be a bipartisan investigation into exactly what russia, what influence russia had on this election. that's the most interesting take away from this. you know, the key person to watch on this i think is the ranking member of the committee, democrat mark warner of virginia. democrats have been warned that republicans are trying to examine this issue in committee in a way to whitewash it. mark warner has been working very hard to allay those concerns. i think at this point what we can say is that -- and we can tell from marco rubio's tweet, looks like there's going to be a

bipartisan investigation into exactly what happened. >> amanda, your reaction to the tweet in the context there are still some on capitol hill that are very skeptical of this process moving forward of investigating potential connections between the trump campaign, the trump administration, and russia. >> right. they're very skeptical of james comey himself because, you know, he sort of inserted himself into the election process by commenting on whether they were still investigating hillary clinton and her use of private e-mail server, even when it wasn't clear if the new e-mails they had that they said they were investigating were related to the investigation. he did that a few days before the election. senators have been very frustrated, including senators on the intelligence committee that james comey is not now more publicly commenting on what exactly he is looking into in terms of russian interference in the election, whether donald trump and his associates had any contact with russian intelligence analysts or other government officials, so i think

senators wanted him to be more forthcoming, were frustrated last time he testified on the hill. rubio's tweet seems to indicate this time maybe they were more pleased with what they heard. >> stay with us. we have more to talk about. there was a close call for one woman. put yourself in this position. a sinkhole swallows your car, and she had the wherewithal to talk to a reporter after firefighters rescued her. see all of it next. dear predictable, there's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪

according to a roreport out of "new york times." work was delayed for the nomination nation of nick mulvaney. now that he is in place at the head of office of management and budget, the office is ready to move ahead. back to talk, senior reporter amanda terkel, and cnn political reporter steven collins. first to you. let me read off a couple of the offices and programs that may be cut, steven. national endowment for the arts, national endowment for maunlts, public broadcasting, americorps, typically on the list for republicans, but how realistic is the plan these may go away. >> these programs have been on the chopping block for republicans for years, if not decades since newt gingrich's republican revolution in 1994. so this would be a popular act for donald trump's base and would be a way to sort of gain

support from wider conservative budget hawks on the hill. the question is about this is that these may be eye catching issues, but the wider issue of the budget is that donald trump and the white house are proposing to greatly increase military spending at the same time as they're going to introduce big tax cuts which could hit revenues, so that's the big budget issue. these things are eye catching. the question is how can you cut revenues, increase spending on issues like the military, at the same time donald trump said he will protect entitlements like medicare, something that's very important to core supporters in places like the industrial midwest. that's the big budget issue. these things are eye catching and probably will get done because they're supporting congress to do it, and the republican majority, maybe it is somewhat of a side show. >> amanda, let me come to you, talk about nick mulvaney, many

people outside his district coudo not know him. he is a budget hawk, wants to cut spending. listen to what he said a few years ago in defense of amendment to hurricane sandy relief bill that required spending be offset. any dollars spent on supporting or offering relief had to be cut or saved somewhere else. here is what he said then. >> i think we should be willing as a body to come together and say look, there are things that we do not need this year, things that we can do without this year so that the people in new york and new jersey and connecticut and other states who so badly need the money can have it without us having to go hat in hand to other nations of this world and say would you please lend us money so that we can take care of our folks that need it so badly. i hope the amendment passes. i hope the amendment passes so that i can vote for the bill. i want this money to go where it is so desperately needed, but the time has come and gone in this nation when we can walk in

here one day and spend 9 or 17 or $60 billion and not think about who is paying for it. >> so how does that, amanda, that philosophy correspond with the president's trillion dollars for infrastructure, billions for the military, billions more for the wall on the border, and no plan to recoup that money from mexico? >> it is not in synch. nick mulvaney has been farther to the right than some members of congress, certainly reflects that tea party view where you saw members swept into congress. in the house, i think he is sort of more in the mainstream, but that's not necessarily true in the senate. you saw people like senator john mccain express reservations about nick mulvaney saying i don't like the fact he doesn't support more military spending which is something donald trump wanted to do. donald trump said he wants to balance the budget, but maybe there are more important things out there, like getting the economy going, spending money on

infrastructure and more on the military. nick mulvaney could run into issues where his conservative priorities don't necessarily line up with what the president himself wants to do. >> any expectation these programs will be listed at the top of the conversation will indeed be cut? >> i think there will be a lot of support in the house. some things on the list like americorps that has gotten bipartisan support in the past, including from people like george w. bush, senator dan coats, his pick to be head of the intelligence community voted against americorps, later wrote an op-ed why he was wrong on americorps. there are a few that get bipartisan support, even if many conservatives targeted them a long time, you'll certainly see democrats put up a big fight against these. >> amanda terkel, steven collins, thank you. a bold declaration from vice president mike pence telling russia that it will be held accountable. how he is hoping to calm fears about allegations of white house ties with moscow.

actions, even as president trump looks for areas to cooperate with russian president vladimir putin. bring in nic robertson, live in munich. we also as i understand it, nic, getting some reaction from the foreign minister, sergei lavrov. help walk us through what happened this morning. >> reporter: yeah, well, this was what the european leaders were waiting to hear, waiting to hear from vice president mike pence, why? because they have been concerned about everything president trump has been saying about nato being obsolete, the potential there could be a deal between president trump and putin that goes over the heads and wishes of european leaders. when they heard mike pence saying i am bringing a message from president trump that the united states supports nato, there was a strong round of applause. this is how it went. >> today on behalf of president trump i bring you this assurance, the united states of

america strongly supports nato and will be unwavering in our commitment to this transatlantic alliance. >> reporter: so the caveat involved in that, the expectation that nato partners will pay up more and spend more on their defense budget, that's something that is expected here and there's a willness to ingne that. he talked about a vision, a future that we share, europe and the united states share a lot of the same ideas, freedom of speech, justice, these things. that resonated to the audience. for the russians, for the first time for them reacting to what they just heard from mike pence, what they heard from secretary defense mattis and secretary of state tillerson, they, the russians, moscow have been expecting a better relationship with president trump and that's not what they heard here today,

sergei lavrov, russian foreign minister, saying this is the end of post cold war era, an indication there, strong indication that the united states, russia, nato, european union moving further apart. this is not what russia was hoping for and this was the first reaction today, christi? >> very interesting there, nic robertson, thank you so very much. we are now learning more about the gop's specific plans for overhauling obamacare now. the house members you know thursday huddled to listen to some ideas. the momentum we know also for health care reform stalled recently. president trump says congress will be ready or there will be a plan ready in early march. joining us for the latest on reform efforts, back with us, reporter eugene scott.

there's no consensus of a single plan, but they have things they want to accomplish here. >> that is true, there's no cohesive plan from the republican lawmakers who have been actively pushing back on obamacare for what is seven years now, but they do have some ideas regarding what it is exactly that they're hoping to do. they do want to expand tax credits to more people and are hoping to boost health savings accounts and also want to slow down expansion of repealing medicare and having more federal funding into the program, so whether or not they're going to be able to do that isn't clear, considering where lawmakers presently are. >> we know there is push back from conservatives on that element of tax credits. >> there is. we have seen quite a bit of division among lawmakers in terms of what is the best way to go ahead and figure out how to help more americans get coverage

and it is not clear that everyone is on the same page. some people think expanding tax credits could be more harmful for the federal budget than helpful for americans needing coverage. >> so the president said thursday that this plan will be ready in early march. easing into latter half of february, talking a matter of weeks, how realistic from your reporting does that time line seem? >> as of right now, it doesn't look very realistic, but this next week could be very key for lawmakers, the week after they come back from recess, if they come back unified, aggressive with ideas that can unify them, get them on the same page, perhaps some changes could happen. the rate of that happening isn't clear. what is clear now is when they head to districts, they're facing town halls probably packed with citizens who are dissatisfied with the way the transition has gone right now in

terms of repealing obamacare and are going to be pushing back quite a bit. >> are we seeing with town halls because they are great spectacles when you watch them on television, but are they having the intended impact, are they influential, influencing members of congress? >> well, that's what's going to be clear in terms of what is presented as a replacement. one thought is that perhaps there's such division within republican lawmakers regarding how to replace it because they are coming back saying my constituents are saying this, we have funders and donors saying that. i don't know if what we were saying or looking to do before is in the best interest of the american people. >> eugene scott, thanks so much. >> thank you. president trump is certainly not the first president to spar with the press. he might be the first to publicly call the media, quote, the enemy of the american people. how does the press cover the

here is one of his main talking points. look at this. >> he is a sleaze in my book. you're a sleaze. sit down. sit down. sit down. oh, you're ready, do you have your pad? totally disgusting. dishonest. the most dishonest people. scum. they're worse than lying ted

cruz. horrible people. some are nice. >> and just yesterday he tweeted this. the fake news media and then failing "new york times," nbc, abc, cbs, cnn, is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the american people. despite the hostility, members of the press have a responsibility to fairly report on the president and his actions. so how does that happen? let's talk about it with the deputy editor of politico, amanda terkel, senior political reporter and politics managing editor at huffington post, and nick adam, founder of foundation for liberty and american greatness. thank you all so much. we appreciate it. amanda, i wanted to start with you. look at what's happening even today. the president said in the past nato was obsolete. today we have the vice president at the munich conference here saying on behalf of president trump i bring you this assurance, the united states of america strongly supports nato

and will be unwavering in our commitment to the transatlantic alliance. when you have two pieces of verbiage, where do you go? >> you try to get as much information as possible. it is hard to trust what one trump administration official says versus another versus what the president says. that's the problem, for example, with the vice president going abroad. a lot of american allies are saying he is saying this. then you hear from donald trump and he is saying something different. you have this a lot with the issue of michael flynn. you had vice president pence out there saying flynn never discussed sanctions with russian officials, then ends up he did. you have the white house getting mad at reporters, saying they never contacted us for the stories, reporters say we contacted you many times before, you didn't answer us. so as a reporter, you have to give readers as much information as possible, present the story

of what trump administration has said over time, what they all have said. >> alex, these are different times, social media is coming into play so strongly here. i want to read the latest tweet from president trump a few minutes ago. he said don't believe the mainstream, quote fake news media. the white house is running very well. i inherited a mess and am in the process of fixing it. twitter isn't going to hold anybody accountable. reporters tried to do so, but how do you get answers from a president who when you ask him a question, he goes off on something else. >> this is an unprecedented time, technology has given the president and everyone the ability to talk directly to everyone else so in that respect it is kind of unprecedented for the president to kind of speak directly to the american people through social networks like this. in terms of getting that

information, as a reporter your job doesn't change, you still have to do the work, do the reportings, reach out to try to get comment. there's no question that the power that reporters have has been diluted from technology and has changed the game. the president could send the tweets out, respond directly to reporters. the world is a different place than five, ten years ago. >> nick, i understand you are a donald trump supporter. how do you view what we see happening with this relationship between the leader of the u.s. and people who are supposed to be reporting. >> i think it is very clear that we have never had a candidate and now a president that has been as mocked, as scorned, defamed, as libelled as donald trump. unfortunately that's the reality we live in now.

i believe there's a gulf, a chasm between mainstream media and middle america. i think mainstream media are out of touch. i think they're elites that see donald trump as a vul garian, that hope he fails. and the truth is that donald trump has been a winner all his life and i don't think that that's going to change and i really hope to see a mainstream media that begins to get in synch with the concerns of the average american. >> i can't speak for everybody, but it behooves nobody to have the president of our country fail. you would hope everybody would wish for him to succeed because when he succeeds, all of us succeed, it is better for our country and for democracy, but how do we as reporters report on what the president is doing when he is giving us one piece of information, yet somebody from his administration is giving us another. where do we go, nick, to get the

correct information, to get that clarity? >> look, i think that the media has to give president trump an opportunity, we've never seen a candidate like him before, never seen a president like him before, we are all in uncharted territory. i think it is clear that president trump's heart is in the right place, i think he has america's best interest at heart, and i have been discouraged and disheartened at the tone and tenor with which several news organizations have been covering donald trump and his administration. i think that a lot has been accomplished in a short period of time and yet none of those things have been covered favorably and i really think it is time for the media to listen to the american people who spoke with a booming voice last november that they wanted change, that they didn't like the status quo, and i think the media has to respect that, and i really don't see any evidence of that at the moment. >> there's no doubt about it

that the people of this country voted donald trump into the presidency. there are a lot of people that many of us talked to that believe in his policies but think that he is disrespectful, not just to the media but to many different categories and classes of people. so how do you validate that in this president? do you see that disrespect first of all? >> look, respectfully i disagree with the premise of the question. i don't see the disrespect. i can appreciate and acknowledge that president trump communicates in a way that is different to what we have experienced in previous presidents, but i don't think this is a president that doesn't care about all americans. >> there's a difference between not caring about americans and about disrespecting people. i'm not saying he doesn't care about americans by any means. i agree with you on that but

when you bring up respect of the media, you also have to expect some respect from the president, not just for the media but for the people that live in this country. >> well, look, christi, again, i don't think that president trump is disrespectful. i think that president trump is a straight talker, he's a straight shooter, and i think that brings a level of discomfort to the media who have been accustomed to people that tend to be more pussy cat in the way they approach things. this is an alpha male that will say what he thinks and i think the media have to learn to live with that and not create this caricature of him. this is a man i think is far more reasoned, far more intellectual even than what people give him credit for and the way the media portray him. it is really important the media shows him the respect he deserves. he is the president of the united states, had a resounding

victory last november, and there's a new man, boss in town. >> amanda, want to get your reaction. >> it seems like donald trump wants nothing than the media to walk behind him and say he does great things. a good example is during his recent press conference when a jewish reporter stood up and said we are not accusing you of anti-semitism, but we want to know how you will react and how you will sort of help solve this rise in anti-semitic attacks around the united states, and instead of giving a reasoned answer with a plan about how donald trump is concerned about the attacks, how it is a problem and how he wants to address them, he took it as an attack on himself because donald trump has made the relationship with the media all about him. he feels bad for himself that the media is not saying nice things about him and i find this all a little funny quite honestly because donald trump for years was going after president barack obama saying he wasn't legitimate president,

wasn't born in the united states, was going after the media for not going after obama harder, but now donald trump expects different treatment for himself. >> ten seconds, alex, i'm sorry. go ahead quickly. >> it is pretty clear that president trump has made attacking the media a central part of his presidency so far, and i don't think that will change. >> appreciate having your voices with us this morning. thank you so much. question. did mark cuban tropical president trump with a basketball jersey? andy scholes has an answer from the mavericks owner himself. >> that's right, victor. mark cuban rocking number 46 during the nba celebrity all-star game. does that meanest considering a run for president next time around? the answer from cuban in this morning's bleacher report.
