education secretary, betsy devos cleared a hurdle in the senate. lawmakers set up a confirmation vote next week. devos has faced criticism from democrats and several republicans because she's never worked in a public school and spent millions promoting charter schools and vouchers. and president trump is meeting with his economic advisory council for the first time. it's immediate up of leaders from walmart, pepsi and gm. under pressure from customers under the president's immigration order, uber's ceo announced he is withdrawing from the group. james mattis is in japan meeting with that country's prime minister. and we have former ambassador to japan, caroline kennedy with us exclusively. welcome home, by the way. >> it's great to be home. >> interesting timing. our defense secretary is there, meeting with japanese officials. during the campaign, candidate trump said some things that raised a lot of eyebrows in

japan and the region. do you think it sends the right message that defense secretary mattis makes this his first overseas trip? >> absolutely. japan -- the region is so critical to our future. it's important that the defense secretary went to consult and reassure our allies about our commitment. >> one of the things that donald trump said during the campaign, it's time for japan to step up and shoulder more of the burden for its defense. and i have to tell you, that seemed to resonate with his supporters. is it a fair ask? >> japan contributes more than any other country. they contribute more than 75% of the cost of the bases. and it's in our interest that japan be strong. and our troops be there. that makes us safer here at home. >> but donald trump wants them to contribute even more. if he pushes japan on that issue, how will they respond? how will it impact our relations? >> well, i think you got to look at the whole relationship. japan is our number one ally in the region that is the most

important region going forward, in the future. and so, i think it has to be looked at strategically and economically. and all of the countries out there are really looking to see whether the united states is going to stay, as a leader in the region and be reliable and live up to our security and economic commitments. or whether they need to make another choice and hedge their bet. that's what's at stake here. and i think that's why the prime minister's coming here. and that's what president trump needs to focus on. >> you made some comments talking about how donald trump's comments were received in japan. and these are your words. obviously, they're concerned when somebody doesn't seem to understand or value the efforts put into this and what's been built over time. if you could say one thing, to now-president trump, about the importance of that relationship, what would you tell him? >> i tell him that having japan as a strong ally and japan's own security helps the united states

be safer. and it provides a lot of jobs and a lot of economic opportunity for american companies. >> obviously, the words that he spoke in his inaugural address when he said, from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. from this day forward, it will be only america first. america first. how are those words, in your opinion, as someone who had to manage relations between our country and japan, how are they being received? >> america draws great alliances. and that's really to be taken for granted or to be insulted as an ally, who has fought along the united states, for example, with australia, or who contributes huge amount to american security, in the case of japan and korea, is alarming. and i think that hopefully the president will, you know, realize the benefits of working

with our friends and allies around the region. >> let me ask you about your work in japan. you went there three years ago. you didn't have specific experience with japan. no diplomatic experience. and i was reading articles where the people greeted you there after almost a celebrity. as you exit, they talk about you as a very effective diplomat. what was the learning curve like? >> actually, i feel that i really grew up honoring the values that my family has stood for. respect for the international order in a the united states has built, a commitment to human rights. and i think all those things are things that are deeply admired around the world. and that helped me to work with the japanese. >> you were the first woman to hold that position, u.s. ambassador to japan. do you think you became a role model for women in japan? >> the women in japan are incredibly dynamic just like women here. and to the extent that i was

very visible, i hope that helped. but i think overall, it's really, you know, something that is really about the u.s. national interest. >> it is impossible to talk to you about saying what everybody wants to know. are you going to run for office? after serving as ambassador for japan, do you have aspirations for elective office? >> i've just gotten home. >> you've been home a week or so. >> a week or so. i'm looking around to figure out what i would do next. >> but wouldn't rule it out? >> i think i would like to be on morning tv. >> like everybody, right? >> ambassador kennedy, welcome home. >> thank you. let's turn to al and get a check of the weather up in boston. al? >> all right, guys. thanks so much. we're here with a huge crowd. fake tom brady, a whole bunch of folks.

around our hips or thighs. it's much less dangerous than this. when all of the fat pools within your belly, you see it building up. that's indicative of what's going on within your belly. it's wrapped around your organs. it messes with your hormones. it increases inflammation. and your risk for heart disease, for cancers, for metabolic syndrome. >> a lot of people think that's just how i am. but that's sometimes not the case. >> if you tend to carry it in the middle, a lot of us, it redistributes. you can still lessen it. what i want everybody to do this weekend. this is homework. get a flexible tape measure. you're going to exhale and get your reading above your hipbone. you want the number to be less than 35 and less than 40 if you're a man. if it's higher than that, the idea is just to get it down a little bit.

>> we're going to sprint through these. five foods to add to your diet. >> if you eat salmon, that's a great thing. it has vitamin "d" as in david. "d" helps to produce hormones that regulate your hormones and signals belly fat cells to burnl. this recipe is on the website. >> greek yogurt. and protein is key for keeping you full. yogurt has calcium and probiotics. we know both of those things in the belly area reduce fat absorption. >> we have the recipe on the website. artichokes. >> artichokes are cool. we mentioned that the yogurt has

probioti probiotics. artichokes have prebiotics. we have healthy bacteria to burn the belly fat. >> broccoli. people who eat ample amounts of deep colored vegetables have less belly fat. i'm calling out broccoli. broccoli also has calcium. and we know that calcium helps to burn abdominal fat. >> it's like eating potato chips. >> these are broccoli tatar tots. onions, like artichokes, they have a prebiotic. onions help to feed the probiotics and burn belly fat. and the cool thing about onions, it flavors up food without adding calories or salt or carbs. onions are great. or caramelized onions.

and my life is basketball.west, but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years. until i learned more about once-daily xarelto®... a latest-generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective. targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding.

get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto®. insurance changes? xarelto® has you covered. ♪ now is the moment we've been waiting for. i love this we're listening to bieber "baby" by the way. we're hosting our second annual "today's take" baby bowl. who can forget the epic meltdown on the baby bowl. not from the babies, but from their parents. >> we're doubling our chances with four baby. two represent the falcons and two represent the patriots.
