The results of the physical exam will be made public by the white house physician at walter reed medical center. U. S. President s have annual exams to show that they are physically fit for duty. Well, the weekend before his physical, mr. Trump will be at camp david meeting with republican congressional leaders to set their legislative agenda for the year. Chip reid is traveling with the president in florida. Infrastructure is by far the easiest. People want it. Reporter fixing the nations deteriorating infrastructure appears to be at the top of the president s agenda for next year. Republicans and democrats, were going have tremendous democrat support on infrastructure. Reporter in fact. Its not that simple. Democrats want massive 1 trillion spending program. But republicans want to spend on the other hand 1 5 of that, 200 billion, money used to create Public Private partnerships to fund the rest of the spending. Democrats say it will never work. Reaching a compromise in an Election Year when the two sides are that far apart will not be easy. Yes, we can reporter also high on both parties agendas is finding a way to allow 800,000 socalled dreamers, people who were brought to the u. S. As children, to remain here permanently. A law that protects them from deportation expires in march. Democrats say its a moral imperative. They are americans in every single important way but one, their paperwork. Reporter the president has made his personal feelings clear. I have a love for these people and hopefully now congress will be able to help them and do it properly. Reporter though he has tied his support to funding for a border wall. Another key issue, funding the federal government. Republicans and democrats need to reach a deal by january 19th or risk a partial government shutdown. And a long festering issue, obamacare. The tax bill the president signed last weekends the individual mandate. It ultimately leads to the end of obamacare. Reporter but thats far from clear. And in a tweet this week, the president predicted that democrats and republicans will eventually come together and develop a great new health care plan. The president and congress will have to move quickly if they really do hope to compromise on these issues because it wont be long before they move in to full battle mode in preparation for the midterm elections. Bianna . Chip reid, thank you. Isis struck afghanistans capital today. A suicide bomber from the sunni Extremist Group targeted a shiite cultural center. At least 41 people were killed. The attack underscores isis growing power in afghanistan. Joining us now is michael morell, the former number two at the cia and cbs Senior National security contributor. Mike, great to have you on with us this evening. Given todays attack, buzz isis in afghanistan pose a threat to the u. S. Similar to isis in iraq and syria . Bianna, afghanistan is one of the places where the isis cancer has spread. Its not yet a threat to the u. S. Homeland, but if it is allowed to continue to grow in strength, if it allowed to acquire a safe haven, it could very well become a threat to the u. S. Homeland. Is the u. S. Doing enough to prevent that from happening . So the military pressure on isis in afghanistan is significant. Isis is one of the reasons why President Trump decided to leave a u. S. Troop presence there. And those operations against isis are intensive. Let me switch gears and ask you about secretary rex tillerson, who has written an oped really promoting u. S. Foreign policy. He took a rather tough stand regarding russia. In fact, he wrote that absent a peaceful resolution of the ukraine situation, there cannot be business as usual with russia. Mike, those are strong words. But does this carry any weight with Vladimir Putin . So they are tough words, but from putins perspective, he really only listens to the president. He mirror images. And in his system, he is the only person that matters. So when he looks at us, he thinks the president is the only person that matters. The most important thing to putin are u. S. Actions. And we have not taken tough action with regard to the meddling in the election. But just last week, we took very tough action by allowing the ukrainians to acquire from the United States antitank weapons that is a very tough step with regard to russia. And putin will see that. Mike morel, our thanks to you. And happy new year. Same to you, bianna, thank you.
