joining us now from davos, our friend and partner ali velshi.li, you have the home court advantage. you're in trump territory. what was your biggest takeaway? >> reporter: well, so i think there are two key take aways from the president's speech. the first is how much it wasn't. i mean, what an opportunity, the first time since the year 2000 that an american president has been here. usually each year there's a leader or two who shine, because they put forward a notion, a world view. this year we saw one, emmanuel macron of france, prime minister justin trudeau of canada, taking on the mantle. what an opportunity for president trump to have shown that vision. but he didn't. he basically listed a bunch of things we've all heard in trump speeches over the last year. he talked about lower unemployment. he talked about the tax by me. he talked about immigration. he talked about reducing regulation, on and on and on. but in the end, did not articulate a view. even the view that he said he was going to articulate, the america first view, i think it was

my partner ali velshi will join me. i'll take you back to davos where the world economic forum is underway. you are watching a global edition of "velshi & ruhle." rheumatiod arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c

also there is my partner, ali velshi.here was a discussion about the israeli/palestinian peace earli deal on the table. did one happen? >> no. nikki haley has, without saying the president misspoke or maybe he was misunderstood, has basically said that, you know, they would participate in the peace process. listen to her words and then i'll give you the context. >> the united states remains fully prepared and eager to pursue peace. we have done nothing to pre-judge the final borders of jerusalem. we have done nothing to alter the status of the holy sites. we remain commitment to the possibility and potential of two states, if agreed to by the parties. just as it did with egypt, peace requires compromise. if president abbas demonstrates he can be that type of leader, we would welcome it. his recent actions demonstrate the total opposite. >> so put aside what one thinks about the peace process. that was nikki haley doing cleanup for president trump who decided to wing it coming out of a meeting with netanyahu, suggesting th

i'm ali velshi. >> i'm stephanie ruhle. let's get started. >> there's a time to fight, and there's a time to deal. it is now time to deal. >> here's the bottom line. it is the last day of president trump's first year in office, and the country is barrelling toward a different "s" word, shutdown. >> the only people standing in the way of keeping the government open are senate democrats. >> the reason we're here now are our friends on the other side saying solve this illegal immigration problem right now or we're going to shut the government down. that is a fact. it's not spin. that's a fact. >> democrats contend there is no time to spare with the march deadline for d.r.e.a.m.ers looming. >> there is an urgency in their lives because of the uncertainty of tomorrow. >> both sides seem to have calculated that it is not in their interest to give in or to negotiate. >> this blame game is a bit of a scam, in that voters blame everybody involved. >> the public hates the way we do business. count me in. this chaos is going to end. i

my partner, ali velshi, joining me now from davos. the president had a shrubbed down america first speech. >> reporter: oh, yeah. >> i would say, it is gary cohn sanitized. because the president likes america first, america first. earlier this week, we heard gary setting the stage. america first is not america alone. but what i seem to hear in there is america is a little bit spooked. the president, and wilbur ross's, understanding of where we are in terms of world trade out of trade. whether you're talking about justin trudeau or other world leaders, tpp marching on without us. the president suddenly saying, we want to re-negotiate not just bilateral agreements but more. have they heard the message that we're not the massive superpower, while we are still massively powerful, we don't control the show? >> reporter: that's right. i mean, that speech was the anti-trade version of a rum punch on a sunset cruise. it was really watered down. the one time the president made another reference to america first, he said, america first doesn't
