know. >> may you live in interesting times, it's actually a curse, and 2017 hammers that home. we're following a lot of news this morning, so let's get right to it. i think the public trust in this whole thing is gone. president trump contradicting his supporters saying he feels robert mueller will treat him fairly. >> i think it's a way to protect that everything is fine and i have it under control. >> president trump is mocking the idea of global warming in a new tweet. >> we need to remind him global warm something causing severe weather. >> this will rank us as one of the worse losses of life in many years. >> my mom texted my sister they were trapped in the room. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota.

>> good morning, everybody. welcome to your "new day." it's friday, december 29th. 8:00 in the east. bill weir joins me. it's almost the new year. >> almost 2018. trump tells "the new york times" he thinks mueller will be fair to him, but he says the russia investigation makes us look bad. mr. trump insisted 16 times there was no collusion between his campaign and russia. >> trump telling "the times" he has a absolute right to do whatever he wants with the justice department, and he boasts about how much he knows the bills being passed through congress. let's begin in west palm beach, florida. we will not get an end of the year press conference, and i guess this is the next best thing? >> reporter: i guess so.

the president yesterday was fresh off of the golf course and really interested in talking to a "new york times" reporter, and he went on for 30 minutes talking about the russia investigation to his knowledge of the tax bill and of health care. he said some interesting things in this interview about his view of the mueller probe, which, as we know, has been going on and on for several months. the president and his lawyers, according to sources, believe the probe is wrapping up and the president seems to think that robert mueller is going to give him a fair shake. let me read you what he had to say to the times. he said there was no collusion with respect to my campaign and i think i will be treated fairly. timing wise, i can't tell you, but i just don't know, but i think we will be treated fairly. many are suggesting the people

carrying out the investigation are bias, and on another matter, he also talked a little bit about how he thinks this probe is affecting his ability to govern. he said the only thing that bothers me about timing, i think it's a very bad thing for the country because it makes the country look bad, it makes the country look very bad and puts the country in a very bad position so the sooner its worked out the better. we know the president wants this probe to be wrapped up sooner rather than later, and we know how it has affected the view of other leaders towards him over the last several months. what is also interesting about the interview is the president did it completely solo, no white house aides around him at the time. interesting to see how willing he is to talk about the ongoing investigation, something that is really very sensitive without any sort of minders around him

at his gulf club yesterday. >> is that interesting, though it's hard to know if it would have changed a single word he said if he had had any minders. it's not like they often control what he says, but they may not have let it go on as long as it did. let's discuss it now and analyze it with ron brownstein and chris cillizza. almost new year's. >> happy almost new year. >> let's talk about the really interesting interview from the "new york times." this is what the president said about bob mueller, and it's so different than what we have heard from his surrogates and right-wing republicans lately. the president says i hope bob mueller is going to be fair. i think he is going to be fair. there has been no collusion, but i think he's going to be fair. everybody knows the answer

already, no collusion, none whatsoever. ron, that's interesting, he's sounding a different tone, a more conciliatory tone than his surrogates. >> yeah, the tone may notably change. in that same interview he talks about how members of congress have been strong in pointing out this is a witch hunt, but there's a mixed message below the headline. there's an element of working the ref there, right, in a sense of saying i think he will be fair which is saying i think he will exonerate me and my campaign. if the special counsel's investigation finds reasons to move against others in the president's circle or the president himself that his verdict will be that robert mueller was fair. >> i guess it depends on what your definition of fair is. >> yes. >> from the president's point of view, that probably means

exoneration, and anybody else's view may be holding an american leader in power, and that's unique to our country. he talked about jeff sessions. he said it's too bad he recused himself. i don't want to get into loyalty, but i will say this, eric holder protected president obama, totally protected him when you look at the irs scandal, the gun for whatever, and i will be honest, i have great respect for that. what does that say about his understanding between the white house and the doj. >> i love it i will not get into it.

>> yeah. >> look, we know his view on jeff sessions. remember, i will go back to a previous interview where trump talked about sessions and the justice department and he said he put me in a very bad place. trump views everybody, including the head of the justice department as working for him. he has been be wiwildered in th past. they don't work for him due to the separation of powers, but he doesn't see that. he views this as the way a ceo views it, these are all under hreupbgs, and they can be hired or fired at a moment's notice. he's not wrong when he says i have a right to do what i want at the justice department.

he could theoretically fire jeff sessions and fire anybody that refused to not move up to be attorney general. we saw nixon do that. the terminology that i have an absolute right will wrangle many people. >> here's exactly what he says. i have the absolute right to do what i want to do with the justice department but for the purposes of hopefully thinking i will be treated fairly i have stayed uninvolved. that's open for debate. he fired james comey. >> that's in response to a clinton investigation. >> oh, that's good to know. >> i think this election will turn your man ever on that question, do you want -- do you or do you not believe there

should be greater constraints, limits on donald trump? as you see in that, his view, to go to chris's point in looking at this as a ceo, his view is the president is unconstrained by any of the traditional or informal boundaries that limited the exercise of presidential power in the past to keep their distance from ongoing investigations at the justice department. he doesn't accept those boundaries. the republicans in congress after being divided over how much to resist him have thrown in the towel and said as long as you are willing to sign the legislation that embodies our priorities, we will not confront you on that stuff.

i would just point out in the last cnn poll, roughly 85% said they intended to vote for congress. we saw a higher percentage in alabama, and that's why comments like these drive that perception among voters in making that such a critical issue. >> this just in, the tweeter in chief fired off a new one this morning and let's read it in real time. why is the united states post office, khwhich is losing billions, making amazon richer and the post office dumber and poorer? should be charging much more, in all caps. >> what is the answer to that, chris? >> interesting. i didn't know he would go with a post office tweet -- >> whoever had that in the pool. >> if you asked me what are the top 100 topics donald trump

might tweet about while i'm on television, amazon and the post office would not be one of them. amazon is a regular target for donald trump. he has accused jeff bezos of buying the "washington post" and unclear tax -- i don't know what it really is. bill, we were talking about this in the previous hour, and the only strategy is there's no strategy theory of donald trump. he probably saw something about amazon, likely, candidly on fox news about why the postal service is not charging amazon more and fired off a tweet. if the past is his prolong, that's what he does. he morning tweets the cable

shows. >> i'm looking to see what they are covering now. >> i don't think this will be a push to raise rates at the post office by president trump. >> this is not about forming a new policy. we have to run. thanks, guys. >> thank you. when president trump says he beliefs the special counsel will be fair to him, he contradicts some phebmembers of his own par and we'll talk about that next with a congressman. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪

president trump talked about the russia investigation saying he thinks it's bad for the country. how do other republicans feel? joining us now is congressman charlie dent of pennsylvania. >> good to be here. >> great to have you. the president says about the russia investigation, i think it's bad for the country. the only thing that bothers me about timing, i think it's a very bad thing for the country because it makes the country look bad, very bad and puts the country in a very bad position, and so the sooner it's worked out the better for the country. but there is tremendous collusion with the russians and with the democratic party. do you think the investigations

with mueller and the congressional ones are making the u.s. look bad? >> no, i don't. i believe the russia investigation, you know, speaks to our transparency in many ways. the russians meddled in our elections, and not only here but throughout the world, and it's important this be investigated by congress and director mueller. we have to let him do his work and let's see what he finds before we jump to conclusions. >> what did you think when your colleague, francis rooney of florida says this about the fbi and department of justice. >> i am very concerned the doj and fbi, they are off the rails. i don't want to discredit them but i would like to see the directors of those agencies purge it. >> later he was asked about purge, and he said maybe i went

overboard and i am paraphrasing, and he said something to the affect it was maybe over the top but sticks by there should be maybe an overhaul of the fbi. what did you think of those comments? >> first, let me say, i think congressman rooney did walk back the purge statement, which i disagree with that statement, and i believe it's important as republicans that we traditionally have been the party of law enforcement, not just at the federal level but state and local level as well and it's not helpful for republicans to stand up and say things that could potentially undermine the ability of the fbi to operate as they should. by the way, this is a republican administration the last time i

checked. at the top level, mr. sessions and mr. rosenstein, they are appoint ease of the president. it's our justice department and fbi, and i don't think it helps to undermine their ability to operate. >> when you hear your republican colleagues and right-wing media now saying this, it's becoming it's own echo chamber of undermining the criminal justice system and fbi. what are they doing? what is that about? >> well, we will rule the day because of this. and it's these types of institutions, i strongly support their mission and their work. i don't think they should be dealt with in such an overtly political fashion. of course there are people in these intelligence services and the fbi who have political

opinions, and as we witness, too, those political opinions should be kept to themselves, and director mueller when he discovered the text messages from two involved, they were removed or demoted. and director mueller, too, is a republican. i don't think it's in everybody's interest to overly politicize our intelligence services. >> if you tune into sean hannity's program at night, you will hear this. do you feel people have to choose between the department of justice and the president? >> maybe some do, but i think all of us should not be susceptible to these types of conspiracy theories. people are talking about deep state and everybody has an agenda. i believe when we have people in these agencies, they tend to be

professional. yes therbgs ha yes, they have political opinions. the question is do those opinions prevent them from doing their jobs? i think they can do their jobs fairly. that said, if we discover bias we should deal with it. i think a lot of my colleagues ought to take a deep breath and let director mueller and his team into his work. the president said repeatedly there's no collusion, so let us find out. >> thank you for your perspective this morning. >> thank you, alisyn. great to be with you. happy new year. >> you, too. president trump boasts he knows about bills more than any president in office. how do we measure that, really? we will talk to rick santorum

as he is often prone to do,

president trump is once again comparing himself to his predecessors, and the president saying quote, number one, i have unbelievably great relationships with 97% of republican congressmen and senators. i love them and they love me. number two, i know more about the big bills than any president that has ever been in office, whether it's health care and taxes, especially taxes. i could not have persuaded 100 congressman to go along with the bill and i was a great student in all of this stuff, and he doesn't know the details, whoever says that, those are sick people. let's welcome rick santorum. you were in the room as you talked about the obamacare repeal and replace and how would you characterize president trump's grasp of policy? >> i think it depends. on the issue of taxes i wouldn't

doubt the president has a good grasp of the tax code and how that would affect the business community. that's something he is familiar with. i couldn't argue with the fact he understood that re-write pretty well. on the issue of health care, probably less so and i don't think that's his wheelhouse. i think he understands the principle that they were trying to get accomplished earlier this year on graham/cassidy. he continues to push for it, and that's try to get the money out of washington and back to the states and give the states to be hr hraf tories. >> in terms of working with democrats, he touched on this a little bit and then a recent tweet. let's start with him saying they should come to me on

infrastructure, them being democrats. they have come to me on daca. we are trying to do something about it, and they should come to me on health care, because we can do bipartisan health care and infrastructure and daca. that sounds inviting. but moments ago, rick, he tweeted the democrats understand there can be no daca without the wall and ridiculous lottery system of immigration and et cetera. we must protect our country at all costs. one fast check in real time, and the lottery system doesn't mean whoever wins can waltz in, but that aside, how can on one hand say, yes, work with us, and then bring up the wall which he knows is a nonstarter for every

democrat. >> yeah, two of the three are -- most democrats agree with. even in the schumer bill they get rid of the visa lottery. so that's number one. number two, on the issue of chain migration, i think democrats, there's an effort to narrow that, that should not be the principle way most people come into the country and that's increasingly the case. obviously, the wall, look, democrats realize if they are going to get daca, they have to do something on the wall. that was the president's biggest immigration talking point and he's not going to walk away from it and it's part of the art of the deal, if you will, to be able to negotiate those things. i think his broader point is something that i think democrats have really missed. there's a real opportunity for

democrats to work with this president. this president is not an ideologue. somebody has been a democrat and independent and republican, all over the place, and the only reason why i think democrats are not taking advantage of the donald trump presidency is their base hates him so much and they are afraid to work with him because they are worried about the consequences from their base if they do. president trump is a figure that is very controversial and somebody that brings out strong emotions on both sides, but, you know, he appealed to his base and he's got that 35% base that everybody talks about, but the

reason he has appealed to his base is there's not a lot of effort on the part of democrats to work with him on anything that he talked about. i think it's disappointing. health care, we could probably get a bipartisan quick fix on health care, but democrats are not interested in having substantive changes to obamacare and as a result it's not going anywhere. democrats argue it's not a missed opportunity for them, and they say they are doing great in elections and their poll numbers are up and 2018 looks like a great year, and they are not trying to get anything done prior to that. >> rick santorum, as always, good to chat with you. >> thank you. 12 people are dead, four of them children in the deadliest fire in new york city in a

we are following breaking

news for you. investigators are scrambling to figure out what caused the worst fire tragedy in new york city in 25 years last night. at least 12 people were killed, including four children, in this apartment in the bronx. cnn's scott is at the scene with the latest. what you have learned? >> reporter: mayor bill de blasio is saying there could be more deaths because there are more people fighting for their lives in the hospital. they ranged in age from a 1-year-old baby to a 63-year-old woman. four of them were children and at least three were under the age of 10. for those that managed to get out, many had to get out from the fire escapes into the frigid temperatures. >> a baby, apartment 13.

a baby trapped. we have a baby in apartment 13, and also apartment 6, people trapped. >> reporter: firefighters have not pinned down a cause, of course. they are on scene and have been here since the flames broke out about 7:00 last night. on the first floor of the building, which may explain why this fire was so deadly, this apartment building has 29 suites, and there are only four complaints but there were six violations registered with one city department, with one defective smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector that was defective. it's not clear whether they were fixed prior to this or whether they had any role at all in what happened here.

we should be hearing from the fire department later this morning and perhaps they will be able to clarify. >> thank you so much. hearts breaking for those folks in that fire. meanwhile, cities around the country are increasing security to unprecedented levels for new year's eve. law enforcement using new tactics to keep revelers safe. >> reporter: while securing the new year's eve celebration here in times square is always a police challenge. there have been two recent terror attacks here in new york, that truck incident that left eight people dead and then earlier this month when a young man tried to detonate a bomb in the subway system, just a few blocks from here, and so we are going to see more police on the streets on sunday night and we are going to see this whole area where i am standing blocked off to traffic starting early in the

day on sunday. there will be 12 access points important spectators to come in and watch the celebrations, and they are going to see teams of police officers, some with heavy weapons, and there will be dogs able to sniff out explosives, and police will have devices to detect raid logical materials. 125 parking garages in and around the area will be sealed and teams of officers working in hotels and patrolling hotels and a suicide training officers willing given to help prevent a suicide attack. and officers will attach certain things to help them with finding

out where gunfire is coming from. they say that while there is no direct credible threat to the new year's celebration or new york city in general, they want people to remain vigilant and, as always, if you see something, say something. >> it's all chilling stuff, and i don't mean the temperatures. you realize what the nypd has on its plate. thank you very much. apple is apologizing for intentionally slowing down iphones with older batteries and should have been up front with its update. alison kosik tells us more. >> i want you to notice something about the apology, because it's more about how apple communicated with the customers, but they are not apologizing for causing the

phones to work slower. on its website, apple posted part of a long explanation. we know that some of you feel apple has let you down. we apologize first and foremost. we would never do anything to shorten the life of any apple product or degrade the user experience to drive up customer upgrade. there you see apple depositing it slowed down iphones so customers would have to buy a new upgraded phone. to make up for this the company is offering cheaper replacement batteries, and offering the batteries from $79 to $29, and this begins next month. the customers were outraged with the upgrade to slow down the phone. i know that when i walked into

an apple store, and my phone was slow, and not once did anybody suggest that i get a new battery. no, no, no, they suggested a buy a new phone, alisyn. >> i think my battery has been losing life. it only works half as long as it used to. are they doing that, too. >> well, you can get a new battery now, it's cheaper. >> yeah, 29 bucks. >> and thank you, alisyn. parts of puerto rico still in the dark. 100 days after hurricane maria, and normal is a long way away for so many folks. we will take you to the island for the latest. people in the houston area still struggling after hurricane harvey. one furniture store owner is still helping, and he's back in

it has been 100 days since hurricane maria made landfall and devastated puerto rico. still people are waiting for power. and what are those numbers? >> reporter: right now the government is reporting 69% generation, alisyn, but that is

generation, not distribution. it does not reflect the amount of people that can turn the lights on in their home. in san jose the majority of the people can't, but when you go to the interior or southeastern part as we did this week, it's a different story. it's more than just a flip of a switch. finally, a hint of what life was like before hurricane maria. after more than three months without power, she's one of the lucky few that just got power. hot water. she's able to take a hot shower. that's what she's excited about, a hot shower. a massive generator there now to power the substation and part of the town, not a permanent

solution, not enough to turn the lights back on for all 38,000 people. always known for its agriculture, now it's known for that area, where hurricane maria came in with power and knocking out electricity immediately, and the mayor doesn't know when they will get power back. the mayor was born and raised in the mountains near the coast and calls maria the monster that destroyed them. he's saying the urban area could get power very soon, but this area, the mountainous area, it could be summer before they see it, which, take note, summer is when the hurricane season begins. >> miles away from town, high up in the mountains where the power lines are harder to fix, she has

little hope, maria ruined more than the furniture but her life. right now paint is all she can afford to fix any of it. she has no idea when she will get power back. without power, cheryl and her children lost more than the lights. without power, they don't have water. the mayor says the problem, constant bureaucratic delays. for a month they had power workers here but not enough materials to carry out the work. the mayor calls this a start. he says they need more generators, power poles, cable, and the u.s. army corps of engineers admits a shortage of

supplies stemming from other hurricanes is why they don't have enough. and right now power is the best christmas gift they could ask for, but for the families up in the mountains, the sun sets on another night as they wait for their gift to arrive. alisyn, we should note that family in the mountains, those children you just saw there, they actually have not had power since the day before hurricane irma. for them it's 115 days now they have not had power. the army corps of engineers here said for families like that it could be until may they have to wait to get power back. >> it's so good to have you on the ground there to remind people the hurricane passed but the dire situation has not. thank you very much for the reporting. a colorado detective, who was seriously wounded on the

job, is beating the odds by pushing past his brush with death. we see how he is going beyond the call of duty. >> reporter: colorado detective, dan bright, can no longer rush out the door with the rest of his s.w.a.t. team, but his devotion to duty has not faltered. officers were called to a denver suburb with reports of a suicidal man, dangerously close to a middle school and hospital before the officer shot and killed the suspect. investigators say the gunman used an ak-47 to spray bullets. >> it entered the side and took out 30% of my left lung and damaged by diagram and stomach and took out my entire spleen.
