Lets get to Erielle Reshef at kennedy with much more. Good morning. Reporter hey, paula and dan. The airport is still slammed this morning. But trying to get back to normal.

Reporter on one of the coldest days of the year, President Trump was boiling madt Michael Wolff and its disparaging look at trumps first year in office. I consider it a work of fiction. I think its a disgrace that someone is able to do Something Like that. The libel laws are weak in the country. If they were strong, would be very helpful. You wouldnt havehings like that happen, where you can say reporter the president took particular issue with the assertion that trumps own colleagues view him as mentally unstable. Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Trump tweeted. I went from very successful businessman to top tv star to president of the United States on my first try. I think that would qualify as not smart but genius. And a very stable genius at that. I went to the best colleges. Or college. Came out and madbillnsf dollars. Reporter the president insisted he never sat down for an interview with wolff and blamed his former chief strategist for allowing him into the west wing. I guess sloppy steve brought him in thehite house quite a bit. Thats one of those things, i guess thats why sloppy steve is look for a job. Reporter he downplayed the investigation becial counsel robert mueller. Everything i have done has been proper. Reporter once again, insisting there was no collusion between his campaign and the russians. I guess the collusion now is dead. Everyone found that after a year of study, theres been absolutely no collusion. No collusion between us and the russians. Reporter t p on to say that the russia investigation is bad for the country. That it makes the country look foolish. Hes hoping its going to wrap up soon. That may be wishful thinking. Paula and dan . Wide ranging topics. The president saying hes willing to negotiate with democrats on daca. Theres a big caveat, right . Reporter thats right. He says hell negotiate with them on daca, but that his precondition is he wants money for his border wall. They have asked for 18 billion in the first go round. The democrats have said that is a nonstarter. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of young people brought here as children by their parents illegally, their fate hangs in the balance. David wright, thank you very much. Another subject. The standoff with north korea. Just days ago, trump taunted kim jongun saying he, trump, has the Bigger Nuclear button. Now the president says hes open to talks. He adds that knows hes notaround. In south korea with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, dan and paula. Were just miles from the north korean border. You can see those militarytype bunkers behind me. The talks will take place along that border. Just days from now. O dayseft unti north and south korea sit down to discuss the norths participation in the olympic games, President Trump giving his blessing. If something can happen and something can come out of those talks, that would be a great thing for all of humanity. Reporter a meeting, President Trump, from camp david, says is a result of his tough talk. If i werent involved, they wouldnt be talking about olympics right now. He knows im not messing around. Reporter despi threats, taunts, and show of force, kim jongun is close to perfecting a nucleartipped missile that could potentially hit the u. S. Trump has said no talks with american negotiators unless the north agrees to end its Nuclear Program. He now says, hes willing to talk to kim. I always believe in talking. Reporter and there was no one we talked to in south who didnt support talks. The fear of war here is the artillery is easily seen from the side of the road. All guns pointin the barbed wire. The shelters. The barriers designed to crash on to the roadway if north korean soldiers storm south. But for the moment, says this farmer, there is hope tuesdays dialogue will lead to more. Translator hopefully, if the International Politics gets better, we want to live in peace. Reporter despite optimism about the talks and what President Trump is saying there remains concern about what happens next. Dan and paula . All right, martha raatrting. We want to bring in chief anchor george stephanopoulos. Lets pick up there with north hes open to having talks with m jongun. They would come with conditions. He knows kim jongun should know that he is not messing around. Though he didnt spell out whathe conditions were. It does seem to be some what of a turnaround. They have required north korea to say they will give up their Nuclear Program before. We seem to be in a new phase. South korea wants to reduce tensions before the Winter Olympics next month. A significant decision to put off south koreanu. S. Military exercises until after the olympics. There does appear to be some kind of reduction in tensions as we head into talks between south korea and north korea. Except on the president s twitter feed. Dinary yesterday. The president of the united defend his own sanity. In front of reporters and in front of the nation. This has now become a partisan issue with some democrats in Congress Introducing legislation calling for a Mental Fitness test for the president. At the end of the day, is anybodys mind going to change . You have had veral psychiatrists question whether or not the president ifit as well. Theres been a longstanding rule or precedent against having psychiatrists diagnose. The goldwater rule. The goldwater rule. This is extraordinary. The president saying hes a very stable genius. You have the Michael Wolff book, which has, several people from the president s inner circle, including his own soninlaw, questioning if he has the ndle. That question is front and center right now. Its been revealed by this. I dont think it will go away. Its not been only partisan, either. You have bob corker, the republican senator from tennessee, who has questioned the president s capacity for the job in the past. Senator lindsey graham. Republican. Now an ally of the president called him a kook. Lots of questions raised and the president s own inner circle. Its not like were on the verge of the cabinet invoking the 25th amendment. Not even close. Not anywhere close to that right now, no. The price tag of the wall is reportedly going to be 18 billion. The president says hes not going to extend daca unless democrats agree to the wall. So somewhat the luke likelihood that any of this gets done . And the clock is ticking. The Government Shutdown is approaching on january 19th. The democrats say they want daca included in any bill to keep open the government. I think the big question right now is, is a compromise possible with some kind of Border Security beefup that the president can call a wall and the democrats will say is not a wall . I dont know the answer to that question right now. But i think that is what is at the heart of these negotiations. Its art of the deal time. Thank you, george. Thank you. George has a big show coming up. Hell go one on one with u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley. And senators sanders and cotton.
