how to assassinate people this is not normal and then all of a sudden you have trump and nikki haley and all these people coming along and saying that you know. we stand with the people of iran but one thing we have to remember is if you go back a few months when mom had been some amount of saudi arabia he said very clearly he gave the game away he said we're going to take the war inside iran woods to the effect of and i believe based on my information from friends and associates i got into homs. the reality is that many of the people who've been arrested off from. inspired groups you've got people connected to the m e k terrorist outfits and you've got these type of people who came in from the outside from places like kurdistan from afghanistan from. ston and they you they tried to instigate and they were supported by the swathes of sort of tweets that were coming out of washington and another interesting thing is a few of us we did some analysis on these twitter accounts and you find that these twitter accounts are all verified somehow they've got a little bit but they've only been

we know nikki haley will break it real. whatever she's about to answer about iran, she and the president are in concert on this. >> that is my take as well. as far as senator graham talking about the president needing to lay out a strategy, i agree with him that tweeting is not enough and that the president needs to also convey material and moral support for the iranian people. but i tell our viewers they can also put down their "new york times" with just a couple of months ago was reporting very confidently that his belligerence was driving the iranian people into the arms of the regime. now we see that's not the true. it looks like it's either revolution, massacre, or a stalemate and i think the u.s. position on this can influence those results. >> i would have to agree with that. we talked about this on the couch in the last hour, how the president reacts to this will be the beginning of the trump doctrine, how we deal with foreign countries and rogue states. >> harris: don't we already know it is put america first? >> i

you heard nikki haley talk about that. the state department also had a statement earlier today that read in part the u.s. will post messages in farsi on facebook and twitter. the state department is encouraging iranians to use vpn services to circumvent iranian government controls. the statement continues by saying the administration calls on iran to unblock social media and is asking tech companies to do all they can to ensure people there can communicate. as for possible policy shifts, make no mistake about it, the administration will certainly take a closer look at the sanctions that are currently in place. we received no word about possible changes yet, but i wouldn't doubt that that is a question the press secretary sarah sanders will get to sometime today. >> dana: indeed she will. the iran story line is percolating at the same time that president trump is criticizing leaders in pakistan and has the white house heard reaction from the capital there? >> you may remember this, the president talking about the billions,

you never said nikki haley. you never said any name. >> i did not. >> so anyone who has brought nikki haley in this has done so through their own reading? >> yes. >> going back to the obstruction case with the president. as you hear these various scenarios being played out and you hear john dowd saying, it's not the president who's going to decide, i'm going to decide whether the president agrees to do this interview. do you think this is how this will happen? john dowd will say to the president yes, you can or no, you can't? >> i think he will. but this is donald trump. he will do what he wants to do, and it's likely he will decide i can go in there and charm these guys, i can sell them. >> michael wolff thank you for joining us again tonight. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up the, the panel is joining us. they will consider everything that's developed. some of them taking notes during michael wolff's conversation here. we'll see what they think the special prosecutor is going to react to. >>> al

and also the president and nikki haley are going out and saying they have to denuclearize first. he's saying, listen, that's the goal. we are not going to have talks with them if they are not willing to give up their program, but that will take time. we need a sign they are willing to go there and that's the goals of these talks. so i think there is a little bit more of a new anced view with secretary tillerson that they are going to have to show some womeningness, but it's unrealistic they'll have to give everybody up before talks can start. >> he's top diplomate in the administration. >> that's right. >> stand by part 2 of this interview coming up. i know you had the chance to ask secretary of state about the president's mental state and all of that, that's next. you know what's awesome? gig-speed internet. you know what's not awesome? when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity deli

now immediately following nikki haley we heard from a representative of france now the representative of france you know france is a country that generally tends to agree with the united states at the u.n. security council however there was quite a different tone in the words of the french representative talked about how this was a matter of among iranians and that foreign meddling really wasn't the answer this is the arrange the french representative go should put you know you the president it is up to the un to the remains to pursue the path of peaceful dialogue a dialogue based on full respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the rain people. however worrying the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute a post say a threat to international peace and security and now the french representative also made a point of saying that he thought the nuclear deal between the p five plus one countries and iran really should. main attacked now the meeting is continuing we'll be hearing from the russian representative shortly as well as other members of the secu

nikki haley says that is nowhere near enough . we won't take any of the talk seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons in north korea. we consider this to be a very reckless regime. we don't think we need a band-aid and we don't think we need to smile and take a picture. north korea can talk with anyone they want, but the u s is not going to recognize it or acknowledge it until they agree to ban the nuclear weapons that they have. nikki haley, they're arting it very clearly, at least the us position on those. it would mark the first formula dialogue between korea since december of 2015. when asked today, there is no final conversation about the. after more than 40 years or oncoming traffic hatch of utah is hanging it up. oron hatch also pittsburgh. today he announced he will not be running for an eighth term and will retire after his current term ends in january. hatch is the longest serving senator. he's been a senator longer than i've been alive. i'm 37. the do you was in the 800s, the very first star war m

the security council now the meeting opened with nikki haley she is the representative of the united states and she voiced strong support for the iranian protesters calling them courageous talking about the usa quote standing in solidarity with the iranian protest she also went on a tirade against the iranian government the united states stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves prosperity for their families and dignity for their nation we will not be quiet no dishonest attempt to call the protesters puppets of foreign powers will change that if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer it now immediately following the remarks from nikki haley representing the usa we then heard from the representative of france and france is a country that generally agrees with the united states in u.n. security council proceedings however if you heard what the french representative had to say he wasn't exactly agreeing with nikki haley he emphasized the importance of the nuclear agreement between

. >>> nikki haley denying rumors of an affair with the president. >> it is absolutely not true. it is highly offensive. and it's disgusting. this isn't something that just happened as a cabinet member. i saw this as a legislator, i saw this when i was governor, i see it now. people see lies for what it is. do i like it? no. is it right? no. is it going to slow me down? not at all. any time this has happened it only makes me fight harder. it only makes me work harder. and i do it for the sake of other women that are behind me. >> just wow there. we'll be back to that in a few moments. >>> we begin the hour with blockbuster news and is a denial from the president saying no, he did not call for the firing of the white house special counsel robert mueller last june. the "new york times" which broke this story last night cites four sources. if you're a conservative shaking your head, oh, it's cnn and the "new york times," fox said it, too, saying the president talked of firing mueller. mcgahn refused to, threatening to quit if he did so. >> did you try to fire robert mueller? >> fake

>> the most important thing to me is nikki haley. nikki haley herself. she was crisp, firm, clear. how often do we actually hear somebody like that. her positions on iran, firm, clear and sensible. we are going to, you know, we're going to shame the europeans into getting real about iran over this, i guarranty you. on north korea, she expressed skepticism, but measured skepticism. on pakistan, i worked with the pakistani military back in the '90s, trump is absolutely right on this i can be tough on president trump but on pakistan he is right. they're responsible for the death and mutilation of many an american in afghanistan through their support of the haqqani network, the afghan taliban. we're supposed to be very critical. i'm always glad to find fault but nikki haley gave a succinct, hard-hitting clear presentation that represented the united states of america very, very well. dagen: one thing stood out, colonel, when she was speaking about iran, president obama was silent during the 2009 protests and she said that all freedom-loving people must step up. we must not do, make the

nikki haley. she is the u.n. ambassador. this guy wolf, he puts out this thing in the book and he's trying to make some scurrilous allegation that there was an affair going on with president trump and someone else. he mentioned it on the bill maher show. >> there is something in the book that it was absolutely sure of by the was so incendiary that it just didn't have the ultimate proof. >> considering what he's done, was it a woman thing? >> yes, i didn't have the blue dress. when you hit that paragraph you will say bingo. jesse: there is something about the president spending a lot of time with someone on air force one. they are making an allegation that nikki haley had some sort of affair with president trump. >> it's an example of gossip being treated like gospel. michael wolff is a ludicrous figure. in his own book's introduction he says there are some things in here that are badly untrue. you have a media that cheers it on and doesn't even question. bill: i feel terrible for nikki haley that she has to respond 20 to som

nikki haley has met a group of african diplomats that meeting follows president trump derogatory remarks on immigration from the continent it's like. now south of i mocks a year since president donald trump took the oath of office becoming the forty fifth president of the united states al-jazeera looks at the impact his presidency has had so far on the middle east. it was the first time that saudi arabia had been chosen by u.s. president for his dippy overseas trip donald trump in the saudi leadership wanted to reset relations in. strange to under the obama administration particularly over iran the u.s. and the saudis are traditional allies but it's clearly a new relationship that he has closely grace but haven't been so bad in saudi arabia and he has literally tweeted. a trade prince of saudi arabia enjoy his twenty two co-defendants so he has essentially given them a diplomatic blank check and that is why many believe saudi arabia along with the united arab emirates battering in egypt miscalculated when they imposed an air sea and land blockade on qatar seven months ago qatar denies ac

nikki haley praised the protesters. the ambassador read some of the slogans the demonstrators are chanting but blocked by social media. >> we will die, but we'll take iran back. don't be afraid, don't be afraid. we're all together. in reference to the supreme leader "feel some shame, let go of the country." >> ambassador haley is calling for an emergency session of the u.n. president trump has urged the tehran regime to unblock social media. he tweeted the people of iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt regime. all of the money that president obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their pockets. the people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. the u.s. is watching. iran's foreign minister responded by telling the president to stop tweeting saying it's better for him to try to address the u.s. internal issues like the murder of scores killed on a daily basis as well as homelessness and hunger. you know among those killed in the iran protests, reports also include as you

s how to assassinate people this is not normal and then all of a sudden you have trump and nikki haley and all these people coming along and saying that you know. we stand with the people of iran this is america israel saudi arabia interfering at least from a distance within iran's internal affairs so to create a serious style civil war inside iran while it is the wet dream of people like me who have been silent to netanyahu with allies being trying to do stuff out of court the sun and other places this is not going to happen iran is far more resilient and the government is wiser and more importantly the world is why so. turkey's president has taken aim at washington over the conviction of a turkish national in the us and is reportedly now ready to back out of longstanding agreements between the two nations the united states should excuse us but the laws in our bilateral ties and the bilateral accords between us are losing their validity i'm saddened to say this but this is how it will be from now on turkish journalist. has more on the breakdown. turkish and u.s. relations have been de

ambassador nikki haley. i want to bring in cnn global affairs correspondent elise laffit and aaron david miller, cnn global affairs analyst and vp and distinguished scholar at the woodrow wilson international center. elise, she's responding to a speech from president abbas where he essentially rejected and, of course this comes on the heels of president trump's decision about the u.s. embassy moving it to jerusalem, something that will take some time, but something that was symbolically very upsetting to the palestinians. this was a speech that abbas gave where he denies a jewish connection to israel where he rejected u.s.-led peace talks. what did you make of what she said moments ago? >> well, i mean, brianna, look, there is no, you know, doubt that the u.s. is very disappointed in the leader, palestinian leader milwaukee mau mahmoud abbas and his leadership and his ability to talk to the u.s., vice president pence in the region this week, the palestinian leader refused to deal with him on the heels of tha

nikki haley ice you know i call or nikki from hell keeps on talking about applying more sanctions and the contradiction that. she has in her approach to the palestinian issue. iran and really usa has been belligerent continuously and i just like to remind your viewers that there was a speech ten years ago by mr putin back in munich when he predicted that u.s. power which was becoming uni polar is going to be diminished from internally because and we have seen that particularly with reference to the vote that was taken at the united nations when america stood up against a hundred twenty eight nations should we are we just thirty seconds left but i want to get your views on this last thing donald trump said that the arena people will receive support from the u.s. at the appropriate time your thoughts on what that could mean. well appropriate time meaning that they already have some agents on the ground as you see the fire at their police stations and you know one of the commentators from the state department was saying that it's going to be an organic development but i think it's going

nikki haley has met a group of african diplomats just days after president trump's derogatory remarks on immigration from the continent all diplomatic james bays are small from the u.n. in new york. this was the highest level meeting between an official of the trump administration and african nations ambassador nikki haley is not just the u.n. ambassador for the trumpet ministration she's a member of the cabinet she was in damage limitation mode but she did not apologize i understand that she told the african ambassador she didn't know exactly what was said in that meeting last week in washington d.c. she simply said she regretted the political drama regarding what had been said she stressed the long ties between the continent and the united states and the investment and contribution that the u.s. had made towards africa for example citing the sixty six billion dollars the u.s. has given since the year two thousand to fight hiv aids the african ambassadors thanked her for talking to them remember only a few days ago they were asking for attraction and a formal apology they said though

ambassador nikki haley has announced on the pressure from its neighbors as well as the u.s. pakistan now plans to take control of charities and financial assets linked to hoffa's saeed who many believe was behind the two thousand and eight long by attacks it's going to explains. there's a ten million dollar reward for any information leading to the conviction of hof is sight yet here he is at a rally last week protesting u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. the united states believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks and a court in pakistan found there was insufficient evidence to convict him and twenty seventeen he was put under house arrest for violating anti-terrorism laws when he made his release prompted outrage from pakistanis and the u.s. government which is long been critical of pakistan when it comes to clamping down on terro

our state correspondent barbara rereports. >> nikki haley warned iran that the world was watching its response to the anti-government protests. she used the platform of the u.n. to amplify the message of president trump, who's been tweeting support for the iranian demonstrators. >> the united states stands with those in oriental who seek freedom for themselves, prosperity for their families and dignify -- dignity for their nation. we will not be quiet. [chanting] >> this unusually robust stance on human rights by the trump station coincides withs -- with the policy to see -- what it sees as iran's maligned influence. he repeated protests that. protests were dereked from bae aboard, which miss haley denied. >> this is a long history of bullying at the u.n. but this is a preposttrowls example. the interference of a nation, in this case, the united states with the utmost respect of the protesters and with every attempt to deal with peacefully despite violent infiltrators and direct encouragement by foreign influences including by the president of the united states. >> other urged teheran

one is the kind of woman that nikki haley is. she's in this position because she worked hard and climbed her way um and whatevp and whatever through her political career pand now she's having to address these terrible rumors based on nothing. and now like the reporter from the politico, she got this great get and she's having to spend her time asking her this question, asking nikki haley this question because it was brought up and you kind of can't ignore it. >> i want to ask you about one slightly different topic, which is the wall street journal reporting serious allegations of sexual misconduct against steve wynn and he's the finance chair of the republican national committee. you remember them push dnc to return the harvey weinstein money. they have a problem now with that same standard. >> they should follow the standard they set. he should resign and they should give back the money that he gave. i think it's really awful. this is sexual harassment, sexual assault, should not be allowed anywhere in the workplace in society p

nikki haley echoing her boss's sentiments. >> we must not be silent. the people of iran are crying out for freedom. all freedom loving people must stand with their cause. >> the white house won't go as far as saying it wants regime change. for now ambassador haley says the u.s. is seeking emergency council meeting in new york and a human rights council meeting in geneva to deal with the crisis. we're monitoring all the developments from berlin. how is iran responding to these comments from president trump? >> reporter: good morning, dave. it's pretty anger responses coming from the iranian government accusing the u.s. of directly meddling in iran's affairs and also trying to stoke the protests as well. in fact, if you look at nikki haley's comments there were some things that the iranians said straight after wards saying this is proof that the u.s. is trying to cheer on these protesters in iran. if you look at the iranian power structure there is usually a battle that goes on between moderates and hard liners. all sides are accusing the u.s. of meddlin

nikki haley is calling for support of those protests. otherings -- others are calling the meeting an overreach by the u.s. benjamin reports. >> 9 days anti-government protests continue. for 3 days, iran held counter rallies showing tens of thousands of people supporting the government. it was thought many were bussed. chants with death to america. blaming the u.s. >> they are americans. show no mercy to americans. >> at the emergency u.n. security council meeting nikki haley stood by the protestors. >> let there be no doubt whatsoever the u.s. stands with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves. prosperity for their families and dignity for their nation. >> the u.s. imposed new sanctions on 5 iranian countries linked to ballistics missiles. >> including denying access to the international banking support must be imposed on the regime. >> this is the most serious internal crisis the regime has faceed in more than a decade. they claim the regime priorityizes nuclear weapons over people. this is a new wave of protestors. under 25. ang

plus nikki haley having to answer a question she probably never imagined she would get as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. details, next. >>> so new this morning, democrats launching efforts to protect special counsel robert mueller in the wake of reports that the president ordered his white house counsel to fire muler in june. "the new york times" and "washington post" reports senate democrats plan to include that legislation as part of continuing budget negotiations, with republican senator lindsey graham co-sponsoring yet another measure. and republican senator tom tillis, who previously co-sponsored a bill to protect mueller is now backing off on his effort. telling the "daily beast," the bill is no longer urgent. here are key democrats who sit on the congressional russia panel on msnbc last night. >> the president has to be sent a message that there will be a firestorm, that republicans and democrats will join together in the kind of reaction that followed the saturday night massacre. >> why are so many people threatening to resign? because there's a pattern of obstr

when i listen to tillerson and nikki haley, it doesn't sound that way. take a listen. >> i don't think -- it's not realistic to say we're only going to talk if you come to the table ready to give up your program. they have too much invested in it. and the president is very realistic about that as well. >> we won't take any of the talk seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons in north korea. we consider this to be a very reckless regime. we don't think we need a pann band-aid and we don't think we need to smile and take a picture. we think they need to stop nuclear weapons and stop it now. >> so which is it, jeremy, rex tillerson or nikki haley? >> i think the way to square the circle, the difference between these positions is we support denuclearization but we're prepared to talk about anything any time without preconditions. i think that's what the secretary of state was trying to convey. the problem is, stephanie, is that each time the secretary of state has gone out there and tried to pursue diplomacy, he's been undercut by his

ambassador nikki haley called choose the for an urgent u.n. meeting on the demonstrations in iran praising the quote great bravery of the protesters why does the u.s. feel so strongly on this issue do you think. well if you recall back in june secretary of state rex tillerson testified in the u.s. congress this administration supports the elements within iran that seek kerosene change and trump administration has basically shifted from obama's policy of the pond to a much more hostile and aggressive regime change policy and we are seeing the manifestations of that over the past several days and before that. initiative by ambassador haley at the u.n. security council is simply another step in this direction. i mean if you compare what happened in paris the other day you know over a thousand vehicles were torched and some five hundred french youth were arrested there was hardly any mention of that in the u.s. media and you know there's such an exaggerated focus without any mention that some of these protesters in iran have resorted to violence t

and caveat, i met nikki haley. you don't need to meet her to know she is one of the most respected women in the not only the country but the entire world now. for someone to say something like that i don't know what people are saying. but the last person you would expect is nikki haley. >> also, look. there was one article written about this. mostly the times when there is one article written about it it's because somebody is trying to have the article say something to deflect from something else. >> or michael wolf is sing it to sell books. >> and that. >> there is definitely that. he left it innuendo. read my book g to the section. you'll find what you want to find in there. he -- he is leading people to buy more books. >> let me spare. >> you nikky said it right and called it out. >> president trump they're saying this because they were having an aaffair because wolf roet in the book by october of 2017 the president has been spending a notable amount of private time with haley on air force one. the only problem

has firmly voiced its support for the anti-government movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss the ongoing situation even going on to praise the great bravery of the protesters the international community has a role to play here on this the freedoms that are enshrined in the united nations charter our nerves are under attack in iran if the iranian dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u.n. must speak out iran's president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are to play let's check out what was said. that the enemy is waiting for an a but you need for a correct it can infiltrate you look at the recent days incidents all those who are at odds with these lawmakers with public have utilized various means including money weapons bullet and intelligence apparatus to great problems for these linux system republic and these like revolution for president trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweet

nikki haley warned around the world was watching its response the anti—government protest. —— iran. she used the un platform to apple by the message of resident trump and treating support of the demonstrators. the united states stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom to themselves, prosperity for their families, and dignity for their nation. we will not be quiet. this unusually robust stance on human rights to the trump administration coincides with a policy to curb what it sees as one's aligned influence in the middle east. iranians ambassador called the meeting a fast and repeated charges that the protest were directed from a board which nikki haley denied. there is a long history of us leading at the un. but this is a preposterous example. purely internal affairs of the nation, in this case protest that the uranium government has addressed with dallas respect for the rights of the protesters and with every attempt to deal with peacefully. despite violent infiltrators and direct encouragement by foreign forces, including by the president of the united states. o

and nikki haley were having an affair. when he told bill maher this, he jumped on it and assumed it was nikki haley. the idea that they would be spending private time together, having an affair on air force one, i don't know what to say. also nikki haley called the rumors disgusting, said she has only been on air force one one time with people around and never had that many conversations with the president about her political future. take a listen to what she told politico in johnson's podcast. >> it is absolutely not true. it is highly offensive and it's disgusting. this isn't something that's just happened as a cabinet member. i saw this as a legislator. i saw this when i was governor. i see it now. people see lies for what it is. do i like it? no. is it right? no. is it gonna slow me down? not at all. any time this has happened it only make mees fight harder. it only makes me work harder. and i do it for the sake of other women that are behind me. >> brooke, as you know, i travelled to africa with nikki haley in novembe

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley similarly praised the protesters in iran. she said the united states is seeking emergency sessions on iran. her comments came after president trump began the new year by supporting this support for the protests in iran. cnn reports that trump may use the protests as a pretense to slam the iran nuclear deal ahead of key legal deadlines looming this month. in mid-january, trump will once again have to decide whether to certify iran's compliance with the deal. trump will also have to decide whether to renew temporary waivers for u.s. sanctions against iran. it's unclear if trump's condemnation of the iranian regime's response to the recent protests will factor into his decisions. on sunday, iranian president rouhani voiced skepticism that trump is genuinely concerned about the iranian people. inthis man, donald trump america, who today was to sympathize with our people, has forgotten that just a few months ago he labeled the a rainy a nation at terrorist nation. this person who is against iranian nation to his court from he want

nikki haley warned iran that the world was watching its response the anti—government protests. she used the platform of the un to amplify the message of president trump, who has been tweeting support for the iranian demonstrators. the united states stands unapologetically with those in iran —— uranium people will determine their own destiny and let there be no doubt whatsoever the united states stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves, prosperity for their families, and dignity for their nation. we will not be quiet. noticed honest attempt to call the protesters puppets foreign powers will change that. the iranian people know the truth. and we know the truth. all chant. this unusually robust stance on human rights for the trump administration coincides with a policy to curb what it sees as iran's malign influence in the middle east. the iranian ambassador called the meeting a farce, and repeated charges that the protests were directed from abroad, which ms haley denied. there is a long history of us bullying at the un, but this is a prepost

haley get those nine votes but it's very interesting to note that the first mention that nikki haley made of pressing for a security council meeting on iran came at a news conference back on tuesday that very morning there'd been a breakfast stop the five permanent members the monthly breakfast she had made no mention of the matter then she also made no mention of the matter while the security council was discussing what aspects it was going to be looking at during the month of january so the whole issue of iran came completely out of the blue for many of the members which adds to that sense of disquiet as i say even among those traditional allies who may go ahead and back nikki haley in that procedural vote that we'll be seeing at the top of the security council meeting in just over two hours all right thank you very much mike hanna looking ahead to that meeting in a couple of hours twenty eight hundred g.m.t. after more than two years of silence north korea and south korea are ready to reopen direct lines of communication choose days face to face talks will focus initially on the n

a caveat, i've met nikki haley. you don't need to meet her to know she is one of the most respected women, not only in the country, but the entire world now. for someone to say something like that. listen, i don't know what people are saying but the last person you would expect is nikki haley. >> there was one article written about this. most of the types there is one article written about it, someone is trying to have that article say something to deflect from something else. >> or michael wolff is saying it to sell books. >> yes. >> and there is that. >> there is definitely that. he left it to innuendo. read my book. go to the section, you'll find what you want to find there. >> there is nothing in that section. >> he's leading people to buy more books. nikki said it right, this is a disgusting thing and called it out. >> is it president trump -- they're saying this because they're having affair wolff wrote in the book that the president had been spending a notable amount of private time with haley on air force on

has firmly voiced its support for the anti government movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss the ongoing situation it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government gives to rein in dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u.n. must speak out iran's president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are to blame let's check out what was said. for the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack it can infiltrate president trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweets on the issue accusing iran of corruption human rights violations and spending its wealth on terrorism and of course the israeli government has followed suit even going on to say that the iranians and israelis will be friends once the regime forces but what's even more surprising is that israel faces the same discontent some anti-government protests and some over promised recog

people took haley too be nikki haley. that's all it took to give a whiff of credibility to an otherwise baseless rumor. let's go one-on-one with ileana johnson. she spoke to nikki haley for women rule. nikki haley has been tremendously successful. she was a standout governor. now she's the u.s. ambassador, and she had to deal with this. and she wanted to, didn't she? >> i think so, chris. i have to say right off the top that i agree with you. i think it's unfortunate that she had to address this. she didn't have to, but she did address this when i asked her about it. and i should say that her office was pretty open with me about the fact that they haven't fielded a lot of inquiries from journalists about this rumor, so it didn't take up. nonetheless, michael wolff did go out there, and he's got a runaway best selling book and then floated this rumor on nationally syndicated television show. and the podcast is intended to address women's issues. >> right. >> and i did want to give her the opportunity to address this rumor.

that seems to be the theme we'll expect from nikki haley here. ari, while i have you, what -- the president and his team say the entire point of him going over there we've already seen him meet with the u.k. prime minister theresa may this morning. there was concern about a rocky relationship there. they had a very nice moment together this morning where they both said the relationship is good, may said it is stronger than ever between the u.k. and the united states. the president is taking a big message over there today with -- particularly with these big meetings he has had in the past couple hours. >> it's what always happens at international gatherings whether summit meetings or davos where there are a lot of leaders and business leaders there. presidents like to meet with each other. they are the ceos of their nations to gather and talk and that's what happens. you have the side meetings and pullover meetings and wouldn't surprise me this is happening in davos. what's interesting is with the president's message is american peace and prosperi

what nikki haley was saying was quite right. they'll be the ones who will ultimately determine their destiny but we're prepared to stand with them. we shouldn't be egging them on to do something that we're not going to be there. but we should be ensuring that others are also focused on the human rights abuseses abuses, oe focused on what iran is doing in the region to destabilize the region. the more we do that, the more the europeans will have to join with us. the key is the more collective the response will be, the more certain we can isolate the ie rain jane regime and raise the cost of what they're doing. >> great to see you as always. thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> flu season hitting the u.s. even harder than usual with more outbreaks and severe symptoms, how you can protect yourself and your family still ahead. >>> plus, the trump administration giving new details on the border wall with mexico. details on that next. >> we want daca to happen. i think i can speak for everybody. we want john cornan from texas. we all want d
