year to you, too. >> look at the snow! >> i hardly know the man. i'm not going to say i want you to pledge allegiance. >> mccabe said comey told him about conversations with the president. >> most americans want to see all of this can completely removed. >> it seems as if mueller is getting closer to the white house, we go to something else. >> he's not. i talked to the president. he's not. >> this vote will make a difference on how americans look at the u.n. >> i think the united states needs to continue to promote this idea of a two-state solution. >> we will not be intimidated. >> jerusalem is our capital. >> this is "new day" with chris quo he mow and alisyn camerota. >> we want to welcome our

viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day". it is friday, december 22nd, 6:00 in new york. chris is off. bill weir joins me. i predict an interesting show. >> per usual. >> that's right. here's our starting line. president trump flying to mar-a-lago with a huge legislative win under his belt and looming government shutdown off his radar. now that congress passed a spending bill late last night. before he departs, he will sign the newly passed gop tax plan into law. but russia still hangs heavy over the president. the deputy director, andrew mccabe, testifying for nine hours on thursday. sources say he told members of the house committee about a conversation he had with former fbi director james comey, a conversation that could corroborate comey's claim that he asked for a show of loyalty. >> on the hill, democrats are

fighting back on efforts to discredit robert mueller. they are warning him not to allow the house's russia investigation to shut down. u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, made good on her threat to take names. after nearly 130 countries voted to con come the u.s. for its recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital, haley invited only the 64 countries who didn't vote against the u.s. to a special reception. we have all the angles covered this friday. let's start with joe johns live at the white house. good morning, joe. >> reporter: good morning, bill. the president heads out to mar-a-lago on a high note today for the christmas holiday, some indication he will sign the tax bill before he leaves. still hanging over the administration, though, the russia investigation as the deputy director of the fbi spent 16 hours on capitol hill testifying.

fbi deputy director andrew mccabe testifying behind closed doors that former fbi director james comey discussed conversations he had with president trump, that the president asked him for loyalty days before the president fired him. >> he asked specifically of loyalty in the context of asking me to stay. my common sense told me what's going on here is he's looking to get something in exchange for granting my request to stay in the job. >> reporter: but the president has vehemently denied that account. >> i don't know how that got there because i didn't ask that question. >> i hardly know the man. i'm not going to say i want you to pledge allegiance. who would do that? >> reporter: attendees at the hearing described the mood as tense. they grilled mccabe on the clinton mail controversy. democrats calling into

questioning a diversion. >> the hearing is part of an ongoing republican attempt to divert attention from the real investigation into the collusion between. trump campaign and the russian government. >> reporter: now house minority leader nancy pelosi warning house speaker paul ryan against letting the house shut down the investigation saying in a letter, democrats are deeply concerned by what she calls the majority's efforts to curtail the house intelligence committee's russia probe and its overall failure to address russia's meddling in the 2016 election. the russia cloud hanging over the would you say as the president is at odds with much of the world over his controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel, prompting a harsh rebuke at the u.n. >> they take hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions of dollars, and vote against us. well, we're watching those votes. let them is vote against us. we'll save a lot. we don't care. >> reporter: 128 countries vote to go approve a resolution

demanding the trump administration withdraw his decision. 35 abstaining. nine others voting against it. even after this direct threat from ambassador nikki haley. >> we will remember when so many countries come calling us, as they so off do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. >> reporter: haley inviting representatives of countries who voted for them, thanking for their friendship to the united states. we learned overnight of a new departure, rick dearborn expected to leave early next year. no plans today for a formal end of the year news conference from the president. but we will see if he takes questions from reporters before he sets on his way to mar-a-lago. bill and alisyn, back to you.

>> that will be interesting, joe. thanks so much. we have cnn political analyst ron brownstein and jeffrey toobin. nine hours from the deputy director of the fbi, andrew mccabe. it was a closed door meeting, but a few things leaked out. >> let's just remember why this whole thing is an issue. part of the mueller investigation involves obstruction of justice. did they fire james comey because james comey was not cooperating with him in limiting the russia investigation. one of the key conversation also that comey testified about was his interaction with the president where the president asked him for loyalty which comey said made him feel very uncomfortable because it seemed

like a quid pro quo. give me informatiloyalty on the investigation and i'll let you keep your job. yesterday mccabe said comey told me about that, word for word apparently, right after it happened. which is a significant corroboration. also comey said he immediately typed up notes of these conversations with the president, also corroborating his own version of what happened. it's not dispositive truth that comey was telling the truth, but it is certainly another brick that might establish a pattern of behavior on the president. >> can i ask one thing -- the white house refuses to say when the president knew that flynn was lying, right? >> right. >> is that the timeline that we're talking about here? when he had that conversation, the loyalty pledge with mueller -- or with comey, was it in relation to -- if he knew

then that he would be obstructing justice? >> it is around the same time. it is all very early. flynn was only around for a month. and his statement to the fbi was january 24th, four days into the administration. this dinner that the president had with comey was also very early in the administration. so it's all happening around the same time. >> ron, what do you hear in all of this? >> well, i think the congressional republicans are playing a dangerous game. i think on the one hand -- obviously, they have -- some of them have legitimate beef still, a smoldering dispute with how the fbi handled hillary clinton. but i think in a larger sense what many of them seem to be engaged in is trying to create a context in which any involvement of russia in the 2016 election is only part of a story in which allegedly the senior law

enforcement officials were agitating against president trump. they're trying to kind of brace the president for any future finding along the lines of what jeff was talking about as obstruction of justice in essence by arguing that comey deserved it. the fbi was maneuvering against him. there are several problems with this. obviously one is undermining faith in premier federal law enforcement institution but even more as an effort in self preservation. they are dealing with the reality of a president who is right around 60% disapproval. generic congressional ballot is consistently double digits advantaging democrats. and they risk, i think, giving the president the wrong signal there will be political tolerance for him tpaourg bob mueller. that, i think, most republicans recognized that to be a political qaa taft few if that happens. that message is being significantly obscured by

conservative talk radio, fox, and now among many of the house republicans. >> so nancy pelosi is very concerned about what she sees happening on the republican side left me read a portion of the letter she just sent to speaker ryan. democrats are deeply concerned by the majority's efforts to curtail the house intelligence committee investigation and its overall failure to address russia's meddled in the 2016 election. we expect that you will take urgent action to ensure this investigation can continue, and justice can be pursued, unhindered. so hard to know how house speaker ryan will respond. >> another point about the republican attempt to make the fbi look like a democratic, capital "d," institution, one thing the people remember during the 2016 campaign is that very shortly before the investigation

director comey announced the reopening of hillary clinton's he mail investigation, which was devastating to her campaign. >> she believes it cost her. >> as many people around her do. the idea that the fbi that the did that is going to be a tough sell, i think. >> let's turn to the united nations. nikki haley, warning, we are taking names. do not cross us on this vote to condemn the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital here. here's the countries that said, okay, we hear you but we'll vote against you, including our allies. the united kingdom, japan, germany defied that order. those voting with the united states, nine little countries. honduras, guatemala, micronesia. and canada and mexico just abstained. we're staying out of this.

ron brownstein, what do you think the takeaway should be this morning after this? >> well, look, there has been a thumbing at the white house since moynahan. it underscores the concern that exists in foreign policy leadership that america first translates into america alone. because as you know, bill, i think it was expected our major allies in the mid east would vote against us because of the regional politics made it impossible not to. but it wasn't only egypt, jordan, saudi arabia. it was most of all of our nato allies, france, germany, japan. it kind of continues this trend. you saw the president's remarks i thought were actually quite revealing when you showed at the beginning of the show saying we don't care basically. that is the impression the world

has. and i think here in the u.s. there is an audience for that go it alone. but there are also a lot of americans who are uneasy about the way that this administration's approach to international affairs leaves us off isolated in the world. >> well, look, now we know who our friends are is what nikki haley says. so palau, micronesia will be invited to a party. >> the cool kids party. >> so here it is. nikki haley inviting everybody to a reception to thank you for your friendship to the united states. that is coming up on january 3rd. it won't be packed. >> they could probably have the whole country of palau come and not just the u.n. delegation. >> what is this? obviously this stands as popular with the evangelical base of president trump who very much in favor of anything israel wants to do. what does this do for other

relations? >> when it comes to israel and the u.n., i mean, this is not new to the trump administration. the united states standing relatively alone with israel. as ron said, it goes back to daniel patrick moynahan saying when he rejected zion eufpl as racism decades ago. that in itself is not unusual. president obama tried to move back into the u.n. mainstream and was more critical of israel, especially regarding settlements policy. in terms of israel, this is not particularly new. what is new is this very go it alone policy that goes well beyond the united states, knighted nations. and does this tkpheupb united states's influence around the world. >> or as president trump says,

does it strengthen it. this is very satisfying on that level. >> alisyn, real quick. you're saying this divides the american public along the same lines as a social issue. this kind of defiance among blue collar, rural, older whites at the four corners of the trump coalition. among the pollers pulling away from him to begin with, particularly millennials and college educated whites, there is much more support for working internationally as opposed to try to achieve our goals. the same divide we saw under george w. bush, who did not even go this far. >> great context. ron, jeffrey, thank you very much. coming up, steve bannon taking shots at president trump, ivanka and jared in awe new "vanity fair" interview.

i use herpecin l.re, it penetrates deep to treat. it soothes, moisturizes, and creates an spf 30 barrier, to protect against flare-ups caused by the sun. herpecin l. a 2018 strategy session erupting into heated exchanges at the white house. the "new york times" is reporting top aides clashed about how to move forward in the wake of roy moore's bruising loss in the alabama senate race. let's bring back ron brownstein. this is interesting. set the scene. this is happening at the white house. the president is there. here's the cast who is present. you have bill steppian, political director.

>> cory lieu wae kwr hrcorey le >> kellyanne conway as well. it sounds like lewandowski was saying you messed he everything up. >> they finally put points on the board. going into 2018, look what we did, we provided you the biggest tax cut in years. then you see this is a few weeks after alabama. but the party is still reeling from that loss. they are trying to move forward. there is a push/pull happening right now because a lot of people are warning the white house of what's to come in 2018 and that it could be pretty brutal. >> ron, that's it. corey was reportedly sounding the alarm for the midterms. looking at the poll numbers you

looked at so closely and trying to sound the alarm that they are on the right track somehow. >> any president is susceptible to the argument from the outside from advisers and friends that your problem, your political problem is your aides are not serving you well. this president is more susceptible to the argument than most. there is something to that in the accepts of the white house being more kay chaotically staf. in alabama, 93% of the people who disapproved of donald trump's job performance voted for doug jones. they gave the democrats this extraordinary 18-point advantage in the generic ballot, one of the largest i have ever seen in polling. roughly 85% of the people who disapproved of donald trump said they were intending to vote democratic in 2018. the problem they have politically is not the white house political office. you have a president with a

disapproval rating consistently around 60%. unless that changes, behalf else they do, they will be facing a very rocky 2018 election. >> annie, do you think this shines a light on turf battles within the white house as the president i guess has favorites and then they lose favoritism and then he moves around? >> oh, yeah. hope hicks is probably being brought in. >> she has been a steady presence. >> she's young. people thought how is she going to do this. she's in her late 20s. there she is sitting in on these meetings. there's a lot of -- there's revolving door action happening where a lot of people are hinting at the fact that a lot of people will leave in the next year. you have john kelly doing fed checks of sorts to see -- kind

of sniffing around to see who is leaving and who is staying. there is a lot of back biting happening. i think it will continue into the new year. >> that leads us to this fascinating profile of steve bannon in "vanity fair". by anybody's account, he is an interesting character to analyze. >> breitbart actively attacked this reporter and then invited him to travel with bannon. >> strange bedfellows indeed. he is still talking. and he's talking out of school. he said bannon has also remarked on the toll the office has taken on trump, telling advisers his

former boss has lost a step. he's like an 11-year-old child, bannon joked to a friend in november. i don't know what that means, but that's interesting. why is bannon -- he's supposed to be a loyalist to the president. but he has begun venting about what he thinks the administration is doing wrong. >> first thing, he was fired. he was pushed out of the white house. there is some ruffled feathers over that. there is a long history of people who create themselves in the political arena by arguing that the president they helped elect abandoned the true flame. there is a long tradition of playing off of this. i think he misinterpreted it was the sole is force and elected donald trump.

the ins larry nativity, protectionist argument that he championed were an important part of the victory. but they weren't the only part of the victory. president trump is responding to a broad brain of interests within his coalition. the democrats, the traditional kind of money republican interests have pushed back at points against the bannon agenda. that is reality. no president can be beholdened to just one faction in the coalition. we have seen donald trump turn to conventional, topdown economics than he promised when bannon was help to go write the words of his speeches in 2016. >> steve bannon calls trump voters h on obbits. he calls jared and ivanka

democrats. he said she was bad advice during the campaign. he called president bush 41 a pervert. his own political ambitions. this is sort of the headlines. if trump doesn't run for reelection in 2020, which is a realistic possibility he told people in private conversations, he only has a 30% chance of of serving out his term. do you think there is somebody who could emerge from the bannon wing as a viable candidate? >> like bannon? i don't think it will be bannon. people said, no, that's crazy. i think he might emerge again. this is the guy who helped elect donald trump and people think he should take credit for it.

he has a sirius xm platform. he speaks to people who supported donald trump. he definitely has a platform, but i don't think he's running. >> annie, i want to dive into one more thing about him calling president bush 41 a pervert. i just want to read this. the bush presidency is the most destructive presidency in history. james buchanan included. it's not even close. that's what gets me about them coming after trump. i really detest them. i mean, the old man is a pervert. he's a pervert. grabbing these girls and grabbing their asses. has steve bannon forgotten about a detail from the campaign where there is something called the "access hollywood" tape and donald trump said he would like to grab the women by an even more private body part. and 15 women have come forward. how dare he. >> they think he has sort of invaded everything.

he got elected even though this "access hollywood" tape was out there. and i think they think he can continue to do this. that people have -- you heard this drum beat of he should resign a couple of weeks ago. that has calmed down a little bit. so i don't think they think that this is going to affect him in any way. >> just the hypocrisy, i guess, to be able to say this about george bush, sr. and to owe mate an important detail about donald trump. thank you very much. we are learning more about the settlements that have cost taxpayers millions of dollars. what we have learned about the costs of sexual harassment and the circumstances next.

okay disaster narrowly

diverted. congress avoids a shutdown threat. the bill extends funding for the children's health insurance through march. the house passed an $81 billion disaster aid bill, including hurricane recovery for puerto rico, texas, and florida. a just released cnn poll finds nearly 7 of every 10 americans say sexual harassment in the u.s. is a very serious problem. 6 in 10 say elected officials facing credible allegations of sexual harassment should resign. when turning to the white house, 63% say congress should investigate the sexual harassment allegations against president trump. 36% say it should not. it comes as the senate reveals $1.45 billion of tax payer money has been spent to cover claims against lawmakers and senate offices. they include discrimination based on sex, age, and disability. but there was no explicit

mention of sexual harassment in those settlements. >> those numbers are striking. the conversation has changed, as has public perception. >> the white house thinks it is exoneration. >> so interesting. there is a winter storm looming for holiday travelers. let's get a check of the forecast heading into the christmas weekend. meteorologist chad myers joins us. hi, chad. >> hi, alisyn. certainly into new england. this is going to be a snow and ice storm for new england. great news if you're heading to killington or rut land. a lot of snow there. this is brought by jared, the galleria of jewelry. time is running out. snow coming across upstate new york, vermont, new hampshire. this will be the story the rest of the day. one to two inches. the next big storm gets here saturday. let's get right to it. let's see what my producer made for us today. a beautiful snowglobe for the effect of the snow coming down. the problem is this pink area.

with this vote will make a difference on how americans look at the u.n. and how we look at countries who disrespect us in the u.n. and this vote will be remembered. >> that is ambassador nikki haley following through on the threat to take names after the lopsided 128-9 vote, condemning the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and promising to move the embassy there. haley sent invitations to a reception only to the 64 countries that did not vote against the united states. joining me now is diplomatic

analyst john kirby. thank you for being with us. it is is interesting john brennan, former cia director joined twitter yesterday. he's been somewhat critical of the trump administration for the past year. it wasn't until yesterday that he got on the president's favorite platform. his first tweet was remember the lockerbie bombing. his second tweet, the trump administration threat to retaliate against nations that exercise sovereign right in u.n. to oppose u.s. position on jerusalem is beyond outrageous. >> he makes a strong point about the sovereign rights. the united nations is not a trump country club. they don't owe loyalty to the united states on any given issue. it is a deliberative body to

come together to try to solve difficult problems. when nikki haley talks about our sovereign choice of declaring jerusalem the capital of israel, she's not wrong. that was the choice by the president in general but the other countries have sovereign rates to state the opposite. one of the things that came out yesterday that people need to remember, these other nations that voted against us, weren't just voting against us. they weren't simply trying to rebuke donald trump. they were also restating for themselves, for governments and their peoples longstanding commitments that they have made as nation states to prior u.n. resolutions that determine that the final status of jerusalem would be the outcome of negotiations between the parties. and that a two-state solution was still the thing to be desired. of course the united states is now, by doing this -- look, we all recognize jerusalem even prior presidents recognized it as the capital of israel.

by doing it the way president trump did he has prejudiced that effort. that's the problem. >> anybody who has ever been involved in a neighborhood dispute knows human dynamic, if you want to keep the peace, actions could in cite violence and add to the conflict. the nine countries, guatemala, marshall islands, palau. and nikki haley send out a friends only invitation to a reception. these little countries, do you think, john, were influenced by the threat? was that the biggest carrot on the stick? >> it could be. he they do benefit from orpb

aid. i don't want to criticize them for their vote or why they did that. the screen you just had up is noteworthy. that's the one americans should pay attention to. some of our best friends, closest allies and partners, countries in which we absolutely do need cooperation going forward for a spate of operations and programs and policies around the world. and i think that's significant. >> let me follow-up on that. united kingdom, japan, france, germany, italy, our closest allies in europe. for the trump supporter, the folks who is support a nation of israel and agree with, you know, john bolton's old assessment you could take 10 floors off the u.n. building and no one would notice. this is all just bickering. why did it matter? >> we need to recognize this is not a unique polar world

anymore. the united states needs cooperation from allies, partners, and friendly nations to get things done around the world. you know, one of the things, if you look at the president's national security strategy, he really focuses on homeland security. that is a good priority to put up front. one of the ways you secure ours is by help to go secure the population of people living elsewhere around the world. that's why foreign aid and assistance is so important. if you can make things more stable, those problems won't migrate here at home. he is basically spinning in his own eye here. to rebuke, publicly rebuke through nikki haley's speech yesterday, the allies and partners for whom they need our help and we need those. >> afghanistan, pakistan voted against us. do we think we are no longer going to send them aid? >> exactly. >> john kirby, thanks so much. have a good weekend. >> you too. if he covered it, you knew the event mattered.

vice president mike pence heading home from a secret trip to afghanistan thursday where he rallied troops and discussed how to end the 16-year conflict. he left wednesday after the tax vote victory and lavishing praise on president trump. >> deeply humbled as your vice president to be able to be here. because of your leadership, mr.

president, and because of the strong support of the leadership in the congress of the united states, you're delivering on that middleclass miracle. >> joining us now is staff writer for the "the atlantic." thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> mike pence is just one of the examples of mike pence lavishing praise on the president. when he does that praiseapalooza, what's behind that? >> well, there are a couple of things at work. on one level, pence has always known the way to trump's heart is flattery. this is evident since the first time they met each other as potential running mates over the fourth of july weekend. i write about it in the piece. they played golf. and pence went out of his way to flatter trump to talk about how

it would be the privilege of his lifetime to serve him, talked about how trump was definitely going to win the election. and after the game he made a point of talking about how great trump's golf game was. and he pointed out trump beat him like a drum. >> bingo. >> from the very beginning he was showing he knew how to win trump over. but there is also another aspect of this. this is rooted in pence's faith. it is is described to me this way. he believes in a concept, pence does, called serving leadership. where he believes that when he joined trump's ticket, the presidential ticket with donald trump, he was committing to be under trump's authority. this is described to me by a couple of friends of pence's. that means he is serving trump, submitting to trump's will. he is serving godby ser by serv

trump. fawning over him, talking about how great he is because he knows that's how he can be most effective. >> but there is a bigger head scratcher in sevening donald trump. this started in the campaign. people couldn't get their arms around it. you have spoken to scores of people who have. that is this man of devout faith, as mike pence is, that he could be so effusive and so supportive of this twice divorced public philanderer, conspicuous consumption new yorker. all the things that mike pence's faith would, you would think, reject. and yet how has mike pence reconciled all of this to feel so effusive about the president? >> yeah. that contradiction that you just kind of laid out was the thing i found most compelling as i was working on this. the thing that i think a lot of people don't realize about the vice president is that beneath

the surface where he's, you know, very humble and kind of, aw, shucks, folksy, he is very ambitious and has been for a long time. i talked to people he knew in college, one of his former frat brothers, who told me they knew he wanted to be president back then. this is somebody who has a deep sense of personal ambition. maybe is a little bit more calculating. he is all tangled up in his faith. he doesn't just want to be president. he doesn't want power. he believes it is god's will. he was called into the realm of politics. god has placed him by the right hand of donald trump. when you start to think about yourself and your career in those terms, it's easy to kind of compromise a lot of things and justify a lot of things because you think ultimately there's a bigger plan being made. >> this is very interesting. very quickly, trump's perception of mike pence was not always

great. he wasn't his first choice for vice president, as we all know. trump found pence prudish, stiff and embarrassingly poor. >> that's right. from the very beginning trump viewed pence as somebody who would be a political asset possibly but not someone he was going to get along with, not someone he would hang out with. i have one story in the piece about when it was reported actually by cnn back in january of this year that pence was going to be moving his family pets into the naval observatory. trump was ridiculing to his secretary he thought, as one longtime adviser told me, he thought it was embarrassing low class and thought the pences are yokels. the respect between the two men seems to flow one way. >> the piece is very interesting in "the atlantic" thank you for sharing your piece with
