me buy the inventory i needed. our amex helped us fill the orders. just like that. another step on the journey. will you be ready when growth presents itself? realize your buying power at open.com battle royale, republicans start 2016 with a new resolution to attack. >> if a jeb type, which won't happen, no energy. i mean this guy's got no energy. >> say yes or no. senator rube yo can't even seem toet that that down. >> chris has a liberal record to a republican. >> did trump's birth he hurt cruz and our panel weighs in. president obama's final state of the union. we'll talk to senior white house adviser valerie jar receipt about why it could be unique in american history. and the state trooper indicted in the sandra bland case, now trying to get his job out of the car.

>> get out of the car, i will light you up! >> wow. >> now! get out of the car! >> reaction from sandra wlablan answer mother. from rockefeller center in new york, this is "politics nation" with al sharpton. >> good morning. i'm al sharpton. the first full week of 2016 shows the republican race has gotten tougher, nastier, and trumpier. with less than a month until iowa, trdonald trump is dominatg the field and the national debate with his unique brand of political entertainment. >> throw him out into the cold. don't give them their coat. i'm winning with the smart

people. i'm winning with the not so smart people, too. i'm winning with everything. >> they never show the crowd. that's why i love protesters. whenever there's a proest itters, you think they can't move the cameras, they're fixed. they turn into pretzels, they can move them. if there's a protester behind and under the camera, it will do a somersault. hillary clinton doesn't have the string, the stamina. we need someone with strength, stamina, with big, big, big, beautiful fat brain. if a jeb type -- which won't happen, that one can't happen. no energy. this guy's got no energy. >> trump is also reviving birther questions about ted cruz, who was born in canada to an american mother. most experts agree cruz is allowed to become president, but that doesn't stop other

republicans from jumping on trump's birther band wagon. >> absolutely without question he is qualified and eligible to be the prime minister of canada. >> i think there is a question. i am not a constitutional scholar on that, but i think it's worth looking into. >> i'm doing this for the good of ted. i'm not doing it for me. i like him and he likes me >> as a legal matter the question is quite straightforward and settled law that the child of a u.s. citizen born abroad is a natural born citizen. >> meanwhile, chris christie getting stronger in new hampshire, suddenly finds himself under attack, and he's firing back. >> he has a liberal record for a republican. he supported common core, he ran for office as a supporter of gun control. >> you want someone on that stage against hillary clinton who has been through the wars, not somebody who say first term united states senator who has never had a tough race in his life. she'll pat him on the head and then cut his heart out. >> look, here's the story.

the george washington bridge, he knew about it. >> my record is one as a conservative, applying conservative principles and moving the needle in the right direction. i don't think he can make that same kram. >> if that's what jeb, john and mr cowant to do, that's fine. i'm going to continue to do what i do. >> joining me is our panel, msnbc political analyst jonathan alter, sabrina sadiqui of "the guardian" and republican strategist susan delpersio. thank you all for being here. >> great to be here. >> thank you. >> hey, rev. >> susan's first full week of the year and donald trump still dominating the race. >> it is, right now it is. he is leading in all the polls nationally. he's leading in some polls in iowa. he's looking good in new hampshire but a lot of things can change. ted cruz has a good organization in iowa and iowa is an organizational state, and folks in new hampshire are known to change their mind at the very

last minute, which i think is most likely. i think you'll see a lot of independents who can vote in the new hampshire primary, vote to kick trump out, and fire him from the primary. >> but isn't the hope, sabrina, that if the independents vote in new hampshire, is the hope of many progressives they will go sanders and not trump. i mean, isn't that going to be a problem there? and isn't it a lot of wishful thinking by the republican establishment that something may trip up trump in iowa, something may trip him up in new hampshire, and he hasn't tripped up yet and he's done everything that people would feel would have undermined any other candidate? >> right, i think the big question mark, when i talk to a lot of rival republican campaigns is, are these supporters of donald trump going to turn up and caucus for him, are they going to turn up at the polls in new hampshire and vote in this primary? outside of donald trump, when you get into the alternative candidates, marco rubio in new hampshire is a slightly

comfortable second but still only leads by a few points and john kasich, jeb bush and chris christie trying to make a mark. part of why you're seeing them bring out the knives and sharpen their attacks against each other, if your name is not ted cruz or donald trump, there's a sentiment among them this is potentially anyone's for the taking if there is going to be an alternative, and i think what you're trying to see especially from marco rubio's point of view is his rival its trying to take him down a peg in iowa, because if he does not post a strong showing in iowa, they hope he'll have a ripple effect in new hampshire and some of them can break through. >> when you see, jonathan, trump go birther on cruz, is that fear? is that he thinks that cruz is gaining in iowa, and possibly the south? is that safing his bet? what is the birther stuff all of a sudden with cruz? >> so trump wants to beat cruz in iowa. right now, everybody says oh, cruz is going to win iowa

easily. that's not what dump things. in recent weeks he's developed a pretty good ground game in iowa. if he wins iowa -- >> he, being trump. >> trump. if he wins iowa, rev, it's over, he's the republican nominee. >> do you agree with that? >> you can never say it's over in politics but he'll then win new hampshire and go south with a huge head of steam and hard to stop. i don't think it's likely. probably cruz winning iowa, trump winning new hampshire and then the question becomes who does better than expected. it becomes an expectations game, so if a chris christie -- >> i want to come back to that. do you agree if trump wins iowa, it's over? >> no, i don't. >> okay, let me then ask you this -- >> because based upon just to follow this -- >> i shouldn't say it's over. i've been covering this long 234u6 to never say it's over like yogi berra. >> i don't think if he wins iowa he wins new hampshire. >> but it gives him more

momentum. let me ask this. if he wins in iowa or new hampshire and heads south, it's very difficult then, but don't you start seeing a lot of the other candidates fall off and you end up with a narrower race? couldn't he get clipped if becomes a three or four-person race? >> yes, if you have a cruz/trump/kasich race or cruz, trump, rubio, the so-called establishment candidate is going to get a lot of votes, but you have these winner-take-all primaries early in the republican process, so if trump is leading going into a lot of those, he's going to wrack up a lot of delegates before they get to the proportional primaries. anyone who thinks trump is going to collapse now has real 2015 thinking. he's going to go to that convention with a lot of delegates whether he wins or not. >> in your introduction, i saw

the clips of candidates looking to kill each other the christie/cruz/rubio/bush folks after each other. what wins a food fight? >> and who is the establishment candidate is the prize. >> let's say you have a situation where ted cruz wins iowa and donald trump wins new hampshire, it depends on what the margins are for the remaking candidates. >> right. >> because if jeb bush posts better than expected to and marco rubio does not in fact have a significant second or third showing there isn't the same incentive for them to drop out right away. they might want to live another day there in south carolina. >> let me ask you something. you are one of my favorite republicans, and it is early in the year. >> thank you. >> explain something to me. what is this fascination with rubio's heels being high on his shoe? >> oh, dear. >> we have so many serious problems going on in the

country. do you all really have nothing to talk about, obsess about in the republican party than he has on higher heels? >> i have not discussed or tweeted about marco rubio's shoes until right this very minute. >> go aed has go ahead. >> that is hopefully the first and last time. >> you are in the minority. the others have, let me show you. >> okay. >> what do you think of those boots? >> well, i can't quite -- i don't know what's -- you won't see me wearing them. i don't know what to think of those boots. they're big heels. they're big heels. i mean, those heels were really up there. >> governor, you changed your shoes. >> i did. >> for new hampshire snow or what happened? >> the heels are low heels, just for the record. >> were you letting loose in those boots? >> oh, yeah, were you wearing the boots? >> no, not that day. i don't think i had them yet. i like them. we'll see. listen, they may make a comeback at some point. they're for special occasions.

>> i don't think they'll come back any time soon. >> not the thing i would want to be talking about if i was running for president. >> i'm an imelda marcos follower, i love to talk about shoes, but this is the silly season. >> yes. >> any time there's something that gets people like us talking, that's not about, you know, what's their tax policy, what's their policy on, you know, increasing the defense budget, all the things that voters at a person point -- >> maybe they talked about their tax policy and afraid they'll get the boot. >> that's a good one. also they don't have a lot to say that's fresh. it's not like they're offering the american people a lot of really new, fresh ideas to argue about. >> stay with us. there's a lot more ahead we have to talk about. stay with us. >> coming up, president obama's final state of the union. it will not be what you're used to. we'll hear from white house senior adviser valerie jarrett.

president obama's final state of the union on tuesday will be non-traditional. laundry list of policies and then a call to action. over the past seven years, this speech has given us some of the president's most memorable moments. >> they deserve a vote.

gabby giffords deserves a vote. the families of new town deserve a vote. the families of aurora deserve a vote. i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda -- [ applause ] [ laughter ] -- i know, because i won both of them. >> it's also become a forum for republican opposition. one gop congressman invited ted nugent as his guest. last year others invited stars of "duck dynasty." now, ted cruz says he's going to skip tuesday's speech to campaign. his spokeswoman says it's not meant as disrespect. joining me now is white house senior adviser valerie jarrett. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. how are you doing, reverend

sharpton? >> i'm very well. let me ask you at the outset here. there are reports this will be a "nontraditional state of the union." what can we expect? >> well i think, i don't want to get too far ahead of president obama but he's really looking forward as he always does to having an opportunity to speak directly to the american people, and really tell his story about his vision for america, which is a very optimistic and hopeful vision, which i know won't surprise you. it's not going to be the traditional state of the union where he talks through all of the accomplishments of the prior year, and the challenges of the year ahead, so it will be much more visionary, and it's one that he's spending a lot of his personal time working on, because as you know, it's his last state of the union. >> as you say, it's the last state of the union, he's in his last year. what are his priorities? what are his goals for this last year?

>> well, several, reverend sharpton. as you saw from last week, as we entered into the second half of the fourth quarter, the president really had a lot that he announced in terms of what we want to do to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, keep our communities safe, focus on where we can provide broader mental health services, improve the way that we do data collection to ensure again guns don't fall into the wrong hands and work on gun technology so that we can have smartgoings, if you can figure out a way to design an ipad so your thumbprint keeps it from falling into the wrong hands we should be able to do the same with our guns. we had a great jobs number on friday of 292,000 jobs, unemployment rate 5%, coming down strongly in the african-american community as well, well over 1% in just one month although it does tend to fluctuate. we have a lot going for us, and so looking to the year ahead

he's going to focus on criminal justice reform. as you know, he gave a speech last year at the naacp, focusing on what we can do in our community, what we can do in our courtrooms and what we can do in the cellblock to reduce the number of people who are incarcerated for overly lengthy sentences and once people pay their debt to society and earn the right to re-enter we need to make it easier for them to do that. we're going to focus a great deal on how we can continue to strengthen the relationship between police and the communities they serve, monitoring the implementation of the 21st century task force report, climate change is a big, big priority for the president. we want to figure out what we can do to make sure that we leave our planet in better condition for our children and our grandchildren. >> i want to get back to the unemployment numbers, but i want to delve a minute into what you talked about when you say gun control, because the president

in an op-ed for the "new york times" this week he said the following and i'm quoting from him, he says "i will not campaign for a vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does not support common-sense gun reform." that's a pretty heavy statement for abincumbent president. >> well, there are going to be a lot of people who expect him to get out there and campaign for them and he wanted to set the record very clear, what his expectations will be, and he's hoping that the american people do the same thing. he's convinced the only way we'll break the stranglehold that special interest groups such as the nra have over members of congress is if there is a counter force and there's no better counter force as we know than that, that the american people can provide. on friday the president had a call with over 25,000 volunteers from around the country who have been working very hard on putting in place ways of keeping guns out of the wrong hands, and

he called on them to spread the word about how important it is to educate the american people about what's at stake here. the town hall that he had last week on thursday where he had a chance to speak directly and have a conversation with those who disagreed with his program, as well as with those who did, demonstrating one can disagree without being disagreeable and it was an honest conversation and gave him a chance, reverend sharpton, to debunk a lot of this nonsense that you're hearing about his intent to take guns way. he's in the seventh year of his administration. what evidence is there that he's trying to take any law-abiding citizen's guns away? he just wants to make sure that everybody goes through the same background check that the law-abiding citizens who buy guns from licensed dealers do, and that it shouldn't matter where you buy your gun. if somebody's in the business of selling guns, they should register and they should perform background checks before they sell to people. >> let me go back to the

unemployment numbers because they are impressive. i mean 5% unemployment, 8.3 unemployment among blacks, over a point lower than last year. i mean, these are very, very important figures, and a good forecast as he gets ready to make his last state of the union address. >> yes, they are very good numbers, and we've seen consistent, you know, over the last 70 plus months of private sector job growth and that's tremendous, but we also know, reverend sharpton, that there are a lot of people out there who want work and we need to make sure that they have the training that they need, and the opportunity to work and it shouldn't matter what your zip code is. every young person should have that opportunity to have a job, provide for their family, thrive in our communities and so for the president's last year, what he has said to his team is look, do not take your foot off the accelerator. i want you to leave it all on the field, to use a sports

analogy. do everything we can to focus on how we can improve the quality of life of the american people. they're counting on their government to work. the president tends to lead by example and i'm sure that he could do everything within his power to deliver on behalf of that promise. >> white house senior adviser, valerie jarrett, thank you for your time and we'll all be watching the president tuesday night. >> thank you, reverend sharpton. up next, the state trooper in the sandra bland case, trying to get his job back. we'll hear from sandra's mother, and then, bill clinton's strategy for dealing with donald trump. i know how it is. you're all set to book a flight using your airline credit card miles. and surprise! those seats sometimes cost a ridiculous number of miles, making it really hard to book the flight you want. luckily, there's a better way... with the capital one venture card. with venture, you'll earn unlimited double miles

on every purchase, every day. and when you're ready to travel, just book the flight you want, on any airline, then use your miles to cover the cost. now you're getting somewhere. what's in your wallet? ... 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day women's gummies. complete with key nutrients we may need... ...plus it supports bone health with calcium and vitamin d. one a day vitacraves gummies. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,

including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. i'm mary ellen, and i quit smoking with chantix. i have smoked for thirty years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in three months. and that was amazing. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it absolutely reduced my urge to smoke.

some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. i can't believe i did it. i quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. the texas state trooper who was fired after being charged with perjury in the sandra bland case wants his job back. trooper brian ensignia pulled

bland over in july for making an improper lane change. she died days later in her jail cell. her death was ruled a suicide. this week, a grand jury indicted ensignia on suspicion of lying in a police report about her arrest. he was just fired and surrendered on a perjury charge. he wrote in his report "i had bland exit the vehicle to further conduct a safe traffic investigati investigation." this part of that arrest from the ph the camera on his traffic report. >> don't touch me. i'm not under arrest. >> you are under arrest? >> for what? >> fm 290, send me another unit. get out of the car. get out of the car. now! >> why am i being apprehended? you're trying to give me a

ticket in. >> i'm saying get out of the ka are? >> why am i being apprehended? >> i'm going to drag you out of here. >> you're going to drag me out of my own car. >> get out of the car! i will light you up. >> wow. >> get out of the car, now! >> wow. >> if convicted, the trooper could face up to a year in jail, and a $4,000 fine. he turned himself in, and is out of jail on bond. his attorney now says his termination was "unwarranted." joining me now is sandra bland's mother, geneva reed deville and bland family attorney, cannon lambert. thank you for being here. let me go to you first as the mother. what is your reaction to the news that this trooper wants his job back? >> well, reverend, my reaction is, i am hopeful that the system will do what it needs to do, so that that doesn't happen.

the gentleman should not be allowed to interface with another individual and cause this type of pain to anyone else's family member. >> now, you talk about the pain. your daughter died in that jail cell. the grand jury did not indict this officer or find forward anyone on the death. how do you feel now that a grand jury indicted him for personalry and he faces a year in jail. is that any form of justice to you? >> no, sir. that is not a form of justice to me. it actually just feels like a slap on the wrist. for me, my daughter is gone. she doesn't have the ability to do administrative leave, and so she's gone, and to be afforded the opportunity to have someone up on a perjury, perjury charge, where there is that type of up to a year and $4,000 fine,

that's not justice. i feel like that's a slap on the wrist and ultimately i just feel like it may be yet another obstacle, another ploy here to keep my side from getting what it is they need to have, so that they can move forward and find out what really happened to my daughter. >> attorney lambert, when she says her side and the family's side getting what they want, what other measures can be done now? >> as you know, we are pursuing a civil action, and part of the civil action requires that we do as much as we can to investigate what took place. part of that includes getting the texas ranger report. the texas rangers did an investigation and we want to know what the outcome of that investigation was. >> you do not have that report, the texas ranger report? >> no, sir, and as it stands, what we are hopeful of, is that we'll obtain it, but my fear is, frankly, that they will use as a tactic to try and prevent that

from happening the fact that there now is an indictment, but an indictment on a misdemeanor shouldn't prohibit this family from finding out what happened to their daughter. >> let me ask you, ms. reed deville, you are a mother, and as people around the nation watch you, we hear a lot of cases, stand with a lot of cases, but give us a sense of your daughter. you lost your child. what type of person was she? the officer said she was threatening. we watched the tape. give us a sense of the type of person she was that you lost and mourn for. >> the type of person sandy was, was very, very, very, very smart. she was aggressive. when she needed to be. take note, sandy did not get aggressive with the officer until she was asked to exit her vehicle, okay? that's when she began to really, there was a shift there. sandy was a smart, beautiful young lady who had a lot going on for her and was ready for the next chapter in her life.

i often tell people, when they say to me, well, my goodness, don't you think, why couldn't she have just gotten, just shut her mouth and just moved on? well, you know what? what would have happened if rosa parks would have moved on? what would have happened if malcolm x would have moved on? what would have happened if martin luther king would have moved on? i totally feel that sandy was called for such a time as this, and i am thankful that she was able to realize who she was, who she was becoming, and she was ready for that journey to let people know that she was totally and completely against social injustice, and she was going to be loud about it, and she is still being loud about it. so just as there was one of the individuals i mentioned to you, there was one sandy bland. one sandy bland. >> well, i think we're going to leave it at that. i think you stated it exactly the way you would want to.

>> what did you think when the president cried? >> i didn't really think about his crying. >> were you affected by it? >> i was affected by it but i thought we should have had the same kind of reaction when james foley was beheaded, when san bernardino and paris occurred. >> ryan also called president obama's focus on gun control a "distraction" from issues like terrorism, but look at this. last year 20 americans lost their lives in terrorist attacks in places like paris and san bernardino. that's 20 too many, but in that same period, over 13,000 americans were killed by gun violence, 13,000. this isn't a distraction. it's a national crisis. and here san actual distraction. conservative pundit, wondering

as i put it? >> absolutely. i think that there is no use in them engaging with donald trump on this subject right now, whose role right now is to boost hillary clinton's campaign especially in iowa and new hampshire, where she and bernie sanders are still locked in this dead heat, and they don't want to at least right now in the primary re-rit gait tlitigate t. there's concern among republican operatives when you bring these attacks back up against hillary clinton and his past, that they actually might help hillary clinton in a general. so that's where i think there would be concern among republicans if anything that is this something she can rally women around? is this something that makes her seem more sympathetic? polling in the past has shown amid the scandal that plagued them at the time was when her farvegt ra fankt ratings were at the highest. >> jonathan, they had to assume that these issues were going to rise, arise at some point when

they decided she was going to run. was this a strategy to not comment on it until later when there's a nominee or what? what is the strategy here? they couldn't imagine this was not going to come up at some point. >> i think they're comforted by the fact even in 1998, 1999, 2000, when republicans tried to raise this as an issue it boom er janged so much, and hillary clinton walked into the united states senate in 2000 partly because people thought this was ridiculous and had no place in our politics, but having said that, some things have changed, and the conversation over feminism and assault, sexual assault has changed in the last 15 years, so when hillary tweeted not too long ago she believed the woman when, in any

he said/she said situation involving sexual assault, you now have a situation where people are going, you know, reasonable people are going, all right, well if you always believe the woman, then why not believe juanita broderick who claims that bill clinton sexually assaulted her in 1978, and she says, well there's no evidence of it. well, often there's no evidence. so they could get into one of these discussions about sexual assault, that would not be helpful for their campaign. >> do you think it's smart or not for your leading republican candidate to start digging this kind of mud-throwing, when in fact, there are so many hard issues that people really care about, and where he, himself, has, i don't know anything about women or anything, but has a flashy kind of lifestyle. i mean, why would he want to even get into whose lifestyle and all of that kind of stuff is an issue. >> because donald trump doesn't

care about what's politically right to do, smart. he hasn't been brought up through the trenches saying this is what you have to say in front of these people. he just goes out there and does it by gut. the fact is, while hillary clinton and bill clinton may have been expecting them to be challenged on some of those issues, they never expected a trump-like challenge. it's over the top. no one would do that. how could anyone in this, any of the other candidates on the republican side would never go there until donald trump went there. so i think it's very smart for donald trump. i don't like that kind of politics, but he's doing a great thing. he is doing the one thing that republicans for the last 16 years have wanted. they wanted someone to go after the clintons and go after them hard, and that's what he's doing. it's a great strategy. >> but see about in a, he's still bill clinton, isn't he an asset on the trail? >> on the campaign trail, especially in a democratic primary right now. i think they view him as an asset. he's one of the most popular

living presidents and most polling continues to show he remains to be that way, and i think that one of the benefits that he brings is, when he was campaigning for her, i was out there in new hampshire, he really humanizes her and is able to effectively tell the personal story behind hillary clinton, one of the things people often criticized she doesn't come across as personable and relatable and he is effective in peeling back behind who she is as a person, and i also think that one of the cases he was making was why she should be the standard bearer for the democratic party and he didn't mention bernie sanders but of course the argument being why should he not be -- >> but sanders is showing real support in new hampshire, and he's competitive in iowa. jonathan? >> if bernie sappeders wins iowa and new hampshire, we're going to be talking a lot about the democrats in this campaign. it's quite possible that he could do so. i think he will amass some delegates in some liberal states, and you're going to see him being a factor all the way through, this especially with

younger democrats who really, really like him, and so she can't take anything for granted. she's very likely to be the nominee, but she's going to have to continue to work for it. i think it's good for her to have this competition, if it was just a coronation, she would be rustier when it came to the general election so it's ultimately a good thing but could be a painful thing for a while. >> the problem is even with the democratic primary, you have bill clinton being the story of the day when it comes to trump's attacks. that's what we heard the last couple of days. it's not going to go away because trump will not stop this line of attack. it reminds a lot of people they don't like the clinton baggage, while hillary clinton's very popular, if he remains the story on this kind of, you know, bill cosby and anthony weiner, that is the last thing that the clinton campaign wants to see, so he could become problematic. >> we're out of time. you notice, sabrina, that susan got in bill cosby and anthony weiner, that was a little republican drop. jonathan alter, sbreeia sid iii

do 16 is just getting started but already some people may be struggling with those new year's resolutions. that brings me to my next guest. lisa nichols, she knows a thing or two about setting goals. two decades ago, she was a single mother with $11 to her name. today, she's a life coach, a motivational speaker, and a best selling author. just over a year ago, nichols made her own new year's resolution, to lose weight. since then, she shed 78 pounds.

she did it while writing her new book "abundance now." joining me now is lisa nichols. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me, reverend, i appreciate it. >> i got to ask you, first, how did you lose the weight? >> well, you know, the first thing i realized was that a lot of it was emotional. we never look at that. we look at eat less, work out, but i had on a 78-pound jacket, and i had to look at what was it covering, what was it doing for me. and so i looked at the things that i, that cause me to put it on, shame, blame, guilt, resentment, the things i never want to talk about on stage, and i dealt with those, and then it was easy, because i wasn't afraid of the woman that would show up, i wasn't afraid of being beautiful in my physical body again. i didn't have to hide behind a bunch of colors or a bunch of hair. >> a lot of this emotion as you know, you know i lost a lot of weight. >> i do, congratulations. >> but tell me, what stops

people from remaining committed to their new year's resolution? people are just starting this year, and many of them won't get to the end of the month. what stops people from keeping their resolution? >> people expect to move their lifestyle, but they haven't moved their mind-set, that your mind-set, you need to look at how you think about money, how you think about success, and some of us need to pack our bags and literally move our mind-set to a whole another zip code, because anywhere your mind-set is, your lifestyle will follow. when people win the lottery, but they haven't thought about money any differently, they go back to broke. it takes them a little longer and they're in a lot more debt when they get back in debt. so when you shift your mind, when i wrote this book, it was about a single mom who had $11.42 to her name. >> tell me about your path, the journey, the struggles of a single mother with no money. >> i was bornd and raised in south central l.a. i lived in the '50s and '60s, not cheerleading squads. web i was 28 years old i had my son and had to get on government

assistance to have my son. i had to get on public assistance just to give birth to him. i had to get on wic, women, infant and children, and i was gratele for the pasta, the cheese, the butter, everything, the milk, everything, but when my son was 8 months old, i went to the atm to get money to get him pampers, and i only had $11.42 in the bank. i had to wrap my son, reverend, in a towel for two days, and nothing was more shameful than having to wrap my son in a towel, and that day i said, obviously i don't know enough. i need to go somewhere and learn something that i don't know, because what i know got me here. i need to learn something different. i look up 21 years later, my company just went public a year and a half ago, and my life is barely recognizable, which is why i wrote this book. people asked me how did i go from public assistance to going public? >> the book "abundance now" what is it and how can people achieve it? >> it explodes the myth

abundance is for some people, that is for a select few of a certain hue or origin or a certain status. abundance is available to all of us and explodes the myth abundance is singly focused, it's just money, just possession. true abundance is a 360 experience. it's abundant spirituality, abundant relationships, abundant finances and abundant health. i have a lot of wealthy friends who are not abundant, they're just wealthy >> there's been a poll how angry a lot of americans are. how do you feel we should channel that anger? >> right. so grab something that's bigger than you. serve some people. have a goal this year that literally pours into the lives of other people. while you're building your own life, while you're mad, channel it into something that's going to make a difference, plant new seeds to grow new fruits. >> lisa nichols, thank you for your time, and her new book is "abundance now: amplify your life and achieve prosperity today."

that does it for me. thanks for watching. i hope you are having luck with all your new year's resolutions. i'll see you back here next sunday. ♪ there it is... this is where i met your grandpa. right under this tree. ♪ (man) some things are worth holding onto. they're hugging the tree.
