>> poppy. poppy, the world is a very small place. came into france from -- in a mass of syrian refugees did in fact kill 130 french people. >> and jeffrey lord, they did not go through the two-year vetting process. they did not go through the two-year vetting process that syrian refugees go through in the united states. so you cannot compare the two. >> poppy, this system is a mess. it is a mess. as you pointed out in an earlier segment, someone from pakistan who came in through -- had what, a saudi visa, came into this country on a k-1 fiance visa and killed 14 people. poppy, you should not have to go to a christmas party -- >> and guess what, jeffrey lord. pakistan and saudi arabia aren't included in this ban either. anushe, your take. president trump has said -- hold on. i've got to get anushe in here. president trump has said this is not a muslim ban, in no way, shape or form is it. and i should note this doesn't include other muslim majority nations like turkey, like saudi arabia, like indonesia. what's your reaction? >> my reac

>> reporter: hi, poppy. politics aside, hearing the stories of the families that are being torn apart, it's difficult to hear. as you mentioned, i spoke to a husband of a woman who is being detained. he is here getting his ph.d at ohio state university in biochemistry. his wife was coming on an f2 visa to come be with him. she was detained this morning. she was supposed to meet him at 8:00 a.m., when he finally heard from her at around noon from another phone number. but listen to what he had to say. >> she called me through the phone that it was not hers and told me that she will be deported and why she was crying. i don't think that i will stay in the u.s. anymore, because of this kind of treatment. i don't have any clear vision about the future, about bad treatments to the iranian and other nationalities. so, i don't feel safe anymore to stay here in the u.s. >> now, poppy, just to give you a sense of this protest here, behind me, there's a parking lot. people have lined the inside of the parking lot. the

isis is beheading people, poppy.they're not going to stop if donald trump says nice words. >> you would know as we look live protests at dulles airport. you would agree that much of this radicalization of terrorists in this country is happening online and happening to u.s. citizens, correct? >> you mean so far in america, yeah, i think that's probably true. but that doesn't mean that people aren't going to try to come in here, poppy. the idea is to prevent this kind of thing. to prevent a paris attack, from somebody who has come in, look most of these refugees, that was, are innocent. i'm not disputing that. >> the paris attack, none of the paris attackers in the last year's attack or "charlie hebdo" came from any of these countries. >> there were in a group of 198 syrians and my source for this is the "washington post," who came into the island of leros, four of them went on to, were terrorists and two of them executed or were responsible for executing the attacks in paris. so says the "washington post." >> jeffrey

poppy? >> brian nobles at the white house, thank you. >>> i want to take you now to northern iraq where word is spreading that all travel to the united states by iraqi citizens is now canceled. our senior international correspondent arwa damon is in erbil, iraq for us where it is just past midnight. many families who may have been planning to travel, all of that now on hold. how are iraqi citizens receiving this news? >> they are stunned. just like everyone else is. at this stage. really struck -- [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] >> it looks like we lost arwa. but she did file a piece for us. let's watch. >> this woman and her husband were in sinjar when isis stormed through the area on a killing and kidnapping rampage. they barely escaped. for them, that was the end of any notion that they could build a future in iraq. dilal is not her real name. she's afraid by speaking out she might ruin whatever chance remains to reach the united states. despite it being the land of free speech. >> translator

>> no, poppy, that's about it. in fact, we don't even know who he is talking about when he claims he knows more than a group of people. when it comes to this intelligence assessment. what this does tell us though, it is clear that the president-elect remains skeptical about what the intelligence community has to say about russia's involvement in this alleged hacking. it appears he still currently has a lack of trust when it comes to the intelligence community in general. during that same very brief press gaggle last night during his new year's eve party at mar-a-lago, trump talked about past u.s. intelligence failures as a way to explain the lack of trust. >> i just want them to be sure. pause it is a pretty serious charge and i want them to be sure. if you look at the weapons of mass destruction, it was a disaster. they were wrong. so i want them to be sure. i think it is unfair if they don't know. >> now, one of the things that trump's aides said in the past is that if there is concrete evidence that the intellig

poppy? >> thank you very much. other questions about what this means for people holding green cards. some sources telling cnn that the president's executive action on immigration and refugees could affect those who already hold green cards. also, possibly, and specifically those from the 7 countries highlighted there, iran, iraq, libya, somalia, syria, sudan and yemen. ryan nobles joining us from the white house for more clarity on this. so what we're hearing, ryan, is that this is a case by case basis. right? this isn't all green card holders from the seven countries. they're going to take this one by one, is that correct? >> reporter: that's the way the administration is describing it, but there's a bit of confusion. so let's try to hash this out the best we can. if you hold a green card, an active green card that makes you a permanent legal resident of the united states but come from one of the seven countries that the administration designated as possible hot beds of terrorism, then you

>>> live in the cnn newsroom, i'm poppy harlow live in new york. we gib with the single sentence pitting the president-elect against a civil rights icon who once march aid longside dr. martin luther king jr. georgia congressman john lewis, one of a growing list of democrats who will skip trump's inauguration next week, had this to say when he was asked if he would work with the next president. >> i don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president. >> you do not consider him a legitimate president? why is that? >> i actually think the russians participated in helping this man get elected. and they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> his key line, i don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president. donald trump responding today on twitter. congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district. which is in horrible shape. and falling apart. not to mention crime infested. rather than falsely complaining about the election results. all talk talk talk, no action or results. sad! >> now trump's re

poppy. >> thank you so much. meantime here in the united states the state department official tells that all 35 russian diplomats expelled under the new sanctions have left the country. thai had 72 hours until today to leave. this as the president-elect says he has new information about the alleged russian hacking of the election. here is what he said last night at his new year's party. >> i know a lot about hacking and hacking is a very hard thing to prove. it could be somebody else. i also know things that other people don't know. they cannot be sure of the situation. >> let's go to ryan nobles, joins us from washington. the president-elect said, we'll find out on tuesday or wednesday. what this information is. a, do we know anything about what's behind the timing and, also, will it be a press conference? what should we expect? >> we don't have any specific insight into exactly what he means by finding out more information about this on tuesday or wednesday. the best guess we have is that it is going to correla

. >> poppy, so far there's no indication that congressman lewis will reconsider, he's now joined 22 of his colleague who is say they're not going to be a attending the inaugural ceremonies. it comes amid some controversy that some a-list performers who will not attend. we're talking about jennifer holiday, announcing that she's no longer going to be singing at trump's preinaugural concert on thursday and to heal the country, but she's now reconsidered and trump for his part, he has chosen not to respond directly to holiday, but instead he did tweet out this saying, for many years our country has been divided, an bring and untrusting, many say it will never change, the hatred is too deep, he goes on to say that it will change. >> and this list of democrats not attending has grown from about 13 48 hours ago to 23 now. is there a precedent for this many members of congress not attending? >> we have seen these protests before particularly members of the black caucus. poppy, the number of members protesting back then doesn't come anywhere near close to what we're seeing to about two dozen w

>> definitely, poppy. this is something is that the talk of the town here in jerusalem, about prime minister netanyahu going over and talking to president trump. they have a wide range of issues they have to discuss. the war in neighboring syria, and the conflict between israelis and palestinians as well as the iran nuclear deal which netanyahu says is a bad deal and would like to see it changed. but this meeting between the two really is probably going to set out the future of what the path between -- the path forward for israel and the united states, what that relationship is going to look like, poppy. >> all right, thank you for the reporting and let's talk more about this and this plan, this embassy move, and the broader context of the new relationship clearly between the leader of israel and the new leader of the united states. so nice to be with you and not remotely from new york to washington. big picture here, and a lot of talk about the embassy but there's much more at stake here? >> absolutely. w

i'm poppy harlow. in six days, donald trump will be sworn in as the 46th president of the united states and we're following several major stories leading up to his inauguration. first in a brand new interview, the president-elect said he's open to lifting sanctions against russia telling "the wall street journal," quote, if you get along and russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody's doing some really great things? this goes against almost every single republican in congress who either agree with this standing sanctions against moscow or want more stringent ones passed. this as house democrats are blasting fbi director james comey after having a classified meeting with him over russian hacking. some say what happened behind closed doors is making them question whether comey is fit for office but they're in a tough spot. do the same democrats want donald trump to pick the next head of the fbi? we'll have more on that in a moment but and the civil rights movement and 1965

let's go to poppy. she interviewed ceo mark fields. tell me what he said, poppy. >> reporter: brooke, i don't think anything these days is not political in one way or another. this ceo of ford sitting down with us hearsre saying the busis decision was key here, donald trump has been slamming ford for a better part of a year and a half all the way of saying he was going to fire the workers, a plant in new mexico will no longer be there they're coming to michigan. why? a president elect calling a company and them changing plans at least in part and brings up questions about crony capitalism, is there a quid pro quo here? >> reporter: as you know ford has attacked ford many, many times in his rallies and on twitter, even said that you were firing all your employees, are you planning to build this plant because of the president elect? >> first, this makes sense for our business and we look at all factors including what views as a more positive manufacturing environment under president elect trump and it's literally a vote of confidence fro

we look at a lot of factors, poppy. one of the factors we see is a more positive u.s. for manufacturing and investment here and we take that into account in our investment decisions. >> poppy harlow joins us along with cnn anchor of "early start" christine romans. poppy, did he feel pressured from donald trump? >> everything is political in this environment. and trump has chosen the companies he's going to attack for the better part of a year and a half. he has railed against -- he's even said things that are not based at all in fact. he said at one point ford is going to literally fire every single u.s. worker. not true. he has said that he was to credit for them not moving a louisville, kentucky plant to mexico. that is not true. that plant was never going to move. however, this is the reality of the vooirmt that they and every company has to work in. it's based on their business. they're not incesting $1.6 million in mexico in this plant, but they're not putting it all here. they have a $900 million savings as well. >> is this a win-win for ford saying we're working

then i heard her go, poppy, come here. >> she showed poppy. >> this is the queso, and she was dippingt. at one point she did feed a toddler a jalapeno. >> everybody okay? >> we washed the mouth out with a little water, and she was fine. i think it's important to teach your kids early about snack food. >> yes, it is. it is. i hope joy doesn't watch our show. >> that caption was start tomorrow, by the way. >> that's good. okay. so aaron rodgers, as you guys know, did such an incredible job last night for the packers. this final score was 34-31, which means the packers -- >> i so wanted it to go into overtime. i love overtime so much. >> it was right there. >> i know. >> again, some fans are also talking about aaron rodgers' personal life. i don't know if you guys remember this, but last year his brother jordan was on "the bachlorette" and he radio he veeld that the rodgers family was in a rift with the nfl star. there wasn't a lot of conversation going on over the years, et cetera. you know, that was one of those things he went, oh, the guy is on "the bachelor." who cares? who knows if

you, poppy, have a passion.ll do that especially at hud. >> but empathy is different than true understanding of what it is like to walk in somebody's shoes. >> because i'm black, here is the false narrative, because i'm black doesn't mean that i know what it means for every black person. >> exactly, different -- >> let me jump in, there are zero latinos for the first time since 1988, it is very egregi s egregious, and when they say it is because they have hired the best and brightest. it is an insult to the communities that have the best and brightest if they are looked for. if donald trump took the time to surround himself with people of color, with people who actually represent this country, then he may know people who are very bright and who are the best in their field and do represent the interests not just of the hispanic community, not just the african-american community, but america in general. and when you have a country that is moving in the direction where it will be a majority/minority country in less

>> reporter: poppy, so interesting seeing donald trump in the white house when he was swearing in his senior advisors, the people that will enact his policies, the people he's relying on to enact his agenda and he talked about how this is not a time of party ideology, he said that now is a time for action. he said we will also be judged for this moment. that crowd count for the inaugural and he was out at the cia giving remarks that really did not fit the moment. and i have talked to several advisors in and around this white house, who said that they believe yesterday was a mistake, and donald trump today, president trump was making a pivot intentionally here and you could tell also, poppy, he was prereadi reading from prepared remarks, something he did not do before he came to the cia. something he did on the campaign trail, when he's off the cuff, sometimes not on message. today he was very much on the presidential message. >> he thanked the 400 officers in the room for their service. but it was controversial about how he went on about the war with the media and the crowd size at th

a very small number of people are growing poppy, while majority is growing agriculture. so what we have to focus is agriculture. if we get that as our prime focus, we'll be able to change the views that are out there. >> all right. minister, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> pleasure to meet you. thank you, and best wishes for a successful trip. coming up next -- the devastating syrian refugee crisis and a look at how the international relief agency care is helping. also -- a look back at how care began during the biggest humanitarian crisis in history at the time. >> i was one of the very first care package recipients. and having just grown up and not having had any food, we were just emaciated -- i mean really thin. >> renate senter remembers the first care packages of powdered eggs, corned beef, and fruit preserves she received as a young german refugee, at the end of world war ii, as if they were manna from heaven. >> when i came home to my mother and showed her this, i said, "the americans did this!" it just left such an imprint, how americans can do this to the

poppy said her reporting from ford is donald trump's tweets about gm, not connected. i'm not sure how ford would know for sure it wasn't connected. we've seen trump do this before with lockheed and boeing. he plays both ends. is he leveraging ford against gm here? >> honestly, that's possible. that fits a pattern of behavior we certainly see. but i'd step back and say, what is the real world implication of this going to be. can this president, company by company, bring back jobs to the u.s.? i would argue no. 700 jobs here, 800 jobs there actually doesn't make a sustained jobs recovery. what would make that recovery is real consumer confidence. i think an infrastructure program that addresses what needs to be fixed and definitely not a trade war. let's keep all that in mind. >> rana, thanks for being here with us. >> thank you, poppy, for bringing us that interview. >>> also ahead, soon a gavel will strike, will fall maybe is what a gavel does. kicking off the new republican-controlled congress. that is determined to dismantsle president obama's signature piece of leg

i'm poppy harlow in new york. we begin with the growing list of democratic congressmen and women who say they will skip the president-elect's inauguration. six days from now. a list that seems to be expanding by the hour. the latest count 16 members from the house from states all across the country, including georgia congressman john lewis. and john congers of michigan. congresswoman barbara lee made the decision days ago but for others wit was based on somethig that played out in the last 24 hours, the president-elect responding to this comment made by civil rights icon and congressman john lewis. >> i don't see the president-elect as a legitimate president. >> you do not consider him as a legitimate president. why is that in. >> i think the russian's participated in helping this man get elected and they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> his key line, i don't see this president as a legitimate president. trump's response came on twitter. congressman john lewis should spend more time fixing and h

look, what happened in this election, poppy, was unprecedented. donald trump built his campaign on baseless lies, insulting everyone from the disabled community to women. to people of color and he's waging war on our intelligence community right now. attacking john lewis on the eve of the mlk day holiday? i don't think anyone should be cosigning in my opinion, that's what's happening. with folks who voluntarily if you don't have to go to the election, inauguration, you are voluntarily attending. in my opinion, folks who voluntarily attend, are in some essence, cosigning. nancy pelosi has to be there, she's on the committee putting together the inauguration. but other folks don't have to. >> hillary clinton is going to be there. >> for, this is what i want to remind folks, hillary clinton and the clintons and the trumps, they were friends prior to this election. their kids have a history. they have a history. again, i would -- if i was hillary clinton, which i'm not, i wouldn't be attending the election. but she has to make her own decision and hil

i'm poppy harlow in new york. you're live in the cnn newsroom. major revelations from the president-elect in a just released interview with the british and german newspaper. donald trump appears to put our european allies on equal footing with russian president vladimir putin saying that he will trust putin as much as he will trust angela merkel. more on that brand new interview in a moment. first, we begin with a growing list of congressmen boycotting the inauguration. they will not attend or watch trump take the oath of office on friday. some say they are skipping because of the president-elect's inassaults. after lose said he did the not is covering it all tonight from washington. she has the latest. >> trump's war of words with congressman lewis coming during the mlk weekend is troubling to many many african-americans. but lewis is getting some strong pushback today from the rnc head and soon to be chief of staff reince priebus and mike pence. some republicans are clearly trying to give congressman lewis his props regarding his stature in the

>> we're still having it. >> poppy, do you want to walk up on stage? >>. >> reporter: yes.icago on the final leg of their tour in omaha, nebraska. >> omaha, how the hell are you? >> it's a true band. a band of brothers. >> reporter: band of brothers? >> yes. >> we would build these songs and build these albums together. at some point i realized, i think we all realized that music is, indeed, what we're going to be doing pretty much for the rest of our lives ♪ time is all you've got >> i distinctly remember getting the first album in my hands and i was thinking that this is a lifetime achievement, you know? chicago transit authority, vinyl, double album. what could be better than this? >> this music has transcended time. it has no demographic. people are still coming here. the audience, young people that discover the music, siblings, their parents, it strikes a chord in them and people in the audience are 15 to 75 and they're all getting this on their level. they're celebrating this with us. ♪ you know our love was meant to be ♪ >> reporter: there have been ups and downs. ba

we look at a lot of factors, poppy, and one that we see is this more positive u.s.or manufacturing and investment here. >> it's interesting, poppy, when you pushed him, he said we didn't cut a deal with the president-elect. as you point out, you said it would be 40% cheaper to make those cars in mexico. 40% cheaper. it's hard to imagine they would go ahead and reverse a decision like that if not because of donald trump's specifically and his threats. >> reporter: it is indeed, erin. you know, this is a $1.6 billion plant that they're just not moving forward with. on top of the fact that it costs them so much less to make cars in mexico. he never said that trump was not part of the decision. he just said trump wasn't the full driver of the decision. an outstanding question is will it cost americans more now to buy their cars that are made here because labor cost is so much higher? that's certainly a question. at the same point in time, remember, erin, they're not spending $1.6 billion in mexico. what they're spending that the plant in michigan is $700 million so, the

>>> good evening, i'm poppy harlow. president trump invited the top congressional leaders from both parties to come to the white house tomorrow to discuss his agenda. this news comes on the heels of the white house confirming early discussions about moving the u.s. embassy in israel from tele aviv to jerusalem. a move that would be both significant and controversial. earlier today, prump spoke with benjamin netanyahu and described as quote, very nice. the focus of the calls cnn has learned, the iran nuclear deal and also the civil war in syria. the other big headline tonight, president trump's white house counselor, kellyanne conway, walking back remarks she made this morning on "meet the press" saying that the president would not release his returns after that audit is complete lp kellyanne conway now tells cnn the president remains under audit and has not changed his views. still though, we don't know if he will release the returns or not at all. we have our panel of analysts to drive into all of that and the big head

it's somebody whose activities were so bad that the mexican president cancelled on him but to poppy'sp to ken there's a different silo out there and he is doing tremendous. and the wall is getting built, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera and there's competing views of what has just transpired. >> and at the same time he is bringing in, she the one pushing the question of the legitimacy of at the election if the white house. we said we're not talking about the 2016 election. this is a bigger picture of preserving american democracy and you just heard the interview that chris did with the man that claims to have proof but would not present it. what are americans supposed to do with that this morning? . >> and somehow by inference or somebody showed him this supposed data or this guy's information and run with it. it's just like the birther claims that donald trump asserted over and over and over. there is no known basis of fact. it's in the realm of lying. absent any proof by this one person and it's extraordinary that the country can get taken on a ride as it did with birtherism by this

ford ceo mark fields talking just a short time ago to cnn's poppy harlow in this exclusive interview.: beginning with the travel ban, signed, the executive order by the president. does ford support president trump's travel ban? >> well, core to our values as a company is respecting all people. and the policies throughout our company really support an inclusive and also a very diverse work force. when we see policies that are counter to our values, we don't support. in this case we don't support the president's policy. there are a number of other policies the president has which we do support. in this case we do not support this one. >> reporter: two weeks ago you told me on this network that ford's decision to cancel plans to build a plant in mexico and instead create 700 u.s. jobs in michigan was a, quote, vote of confidence in the president and in his agenda. do you have any less confidence in the president and his agenda now, given this travel ban? >> we still have a lot of confidence in the president and his policies, particularly around the economy. you know, the -- >> reporter:

a very small number of people are growing poppy, while majority is growing agriculture.what we have to focus is agriculture. if we get that as our prime focus, we'll be able to change the views that are out there. >> all right. minister, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> pleasure to meet you. thank you, and best wishes for a successful trip. coming up next -- the devastating syrian refugee crisis and a look at how the international relief agency care is helping. also -- a look back at how care began during the biggest humanitarian crisis in history at the time. mone hundredts thousand times a day, sending oxygen to my muscles. again! so i can lift even the most demanding weight. take care of all your most important parts with centrum. now verified non gmo and gluten free. a farmer's market.ve what's in this kiester. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. >> i was one of the very first care

my colleague, poppy harlow, touched on that speaking with conservative commentator. let's listen to this. >> i also think it is unprecedented that a congressman with a stature was able to come out and say i don't believe donald trump is a legitimate president. i cannot imagine the fallout and backfire you would have if a republican would have implied that about barack obama, bill clinton, or jfk for that matter? >> that is what many presidents did, including the president-elect, questioning the legitimacy of the first black president. >> ben ferguson making the point and poppy harlow back-checking making the counter point there. legitimacy has come up before. >> it has and very fraucoften f donald trump, our current president. we saw barack obama prove his birth certificate proving he was born in the united states, a very legitimate candidate for a president of the united states. john lewis' concern was mainly rooted in russia's involvement in hacking the 2016 election so that hillary clinton could lose and they were effective. donald trump pushed back on that and to

poppy harlow touched on that earlier in her show. let's listen. >> i also think it is unprecedented that a congressman with a stature was able to come out and say, i don't believe donald trump is a legitimate president. i cannot imagine the fallout, the backfire that you would have if a republican would have ever implied that about barack obama or bill clinton or jfk or anyone else for that matter. >> that's what many did questioning the legitimacy of the first black president. >> ben ferguson making the poichpoint and poppy harlow making the counter point that that did, indeed happen, with the president-elect focusing on the birther issue that has been proven to be false. >> it is true that donald trump some say built his political career on questioning president barack obama's legitimacy despite having documentation that the current president very much had reason and the right to be president. whether or not donald trump will move forward in accepting the intelligence that his critics are hoping he will that will no longer bring hi

>> poppy harlow, thank you very much. trump ran as a pro-business candidate. but what are the implications? kay le kayleigh, is this a quid pro quo? >> i don't see it as a quid pro quo at all. i see it as a carrots and sticks approach. the carrots he is offering ford or gm are a better economy, an economy where you're not going to be hit with exorbitant taxes where he's promised that the corporate tax rate would be 15% maximum. the stick is the tariff. and i don't see any quid pro quo that something tangible we can point to was given to the ford ceo as a result of keeping jobs here. i think it was a promise of a robust economy going forward. >> the chairman seems to say we have confidence that it'si goin to be a more pro-business economy. >> many republicans and most business people are probably pretty uncomfortable with the notion that whoever the president of the united states decides is going to get up and attack one morning that the market is going to attack them and that he's going to threaten them personally with taxes unless they do what he says. you kn
