favorable rating of 66% and george w. bush's 62% and barack obama's nearly 80%, trump, by contrast, is sitting right now at just 40%. more than 20 points less than each of his three predecessors. trump is viewed unfavorably by a majority. 55% of adults nationwide. a majority compared to 18% unfavorable rating for barack obama before his inauguration. meanwhile, even before trump is sworn in, a resistance movement has taken shape against what republicans say is their top number one priority under the new president, that, of course, the repeal of the affordable care act with thousands pouring into the streets into the country into congressional offices this weekend to protest efforts to take away their health care. perhaps the starkest scene was in colorado. a republican congressman mike kaufman snuck out of a constituent event early. after more than 150 people showed up, many of them there to confront them over the repeal effort. >> i am going to potentially lose my health insurance. i've had a pre-existing condition. i've had breast cancer. what's going to happen to me? i'm trying to g

delegitimize. there was a demographic, first ever aspect of barack obama. you know how many people in this town, who live within walking distance, came with tremendous historic enthusiasm, saying this city is largely minority. they have been for 100 years. the people were so thrilled, that they waked to the involvement. they don't need metro numbers, i was there. it was overwhelming. so why is he trying to compete with history. donald trump being elected president is a certain kind of history being made, but not the kind to go in the record books like a barack obama. >> i don't the he can help it. it is a real bank shot, getting crowds to pay attention to the march for life. >> i think it is a buzzer shot. >> it's not a three-pointer. he can't let go of things. we're still talking about voter fraud. i think we're talking about it, too, and papers are talking about it, because he is talking about it. what he said on that clip, chris, how dare these congressmen come out of this private meeting and say what i said. he can't blame them. he says it himself and he doesn't want to let it go and n

our special coverage this evening of president barack obama's fair we. >>> well address to the nation. there was no night the president could have scheduled this speech that couldn't be competing with a ton of news and that is the case this evening. with the controversial senator jeff sessions sitting for his first confirmation hearing to become trump's attorney general, a confirmation hearing that lasted over ten hours and is still going, as i understand, and republican plans to repeal obamacare facing new hurdles and new directives from the president-elect. but tonight just as president obama is preparing to take that stage in chicago an explosive new report concerning trump's briefing on russian hacking. two u.s. officials with direct knowledge tell nbc news that briefing materials prepared for the president-elect included information which initially circulated among trump opponents and was passed to u.s. intelligence agencies making damaging allegations about his dealings with russians. the sources would not comment on the nature of the allegations. neither of the officials

adviser to both of barack obama's presidential campaigns and great to have you both with us. let's just start off, i reached out to sean spicer, the press secretary of donald trump. i have not heard back from him yet. we know that president trump is expected over at the cia. but, rick, let me begin with you. the amount of attention that has happened from day one, as seeing those executive orders of what president trump did last night, how -- rick, standby for us. we've got john lewis speaking in atlanta, where they have gathered for the marches there. let's go ahead and listen in. >> sometime, you have to turn things upside down instead of right side up. when you see something that is not right n, not fair, not just you have a moral obligation, a mission, and a mandate to say something, to do something. we cannot afford to believe silent. now, i just want to thank you. you look so good. this is unbelievable. all the way back to the cm center. there's hundreds and thousands of people. i tell you! thank you! i want to thank you for standing up, for speaking up, for getting in the way

trump and the 45th president of the united states and now we speak of barack obama as former president barack obama, nothing illustrates that more starkly than the helicopter waiting to take off with former president, former first lady. it is known for this mission as executive one. it's normally known as marine one. short flight across the military district of washington to what was formerly known as andrews air force base, now laden with the clunky pentagon title joint base andrews, as most of them are, but there you see the military lined up to escort the former president over to the aircraft. both men will be coming out this entrance. steve schmidt, your assessment of what we heard. >> i think there were two things that were striking. first this republican president's administration is not going to be animated by conservatism, but rather a fierce american nationalism. it will be interesting to see that play out. secondly, in very unusual for an inaugural address in the modern era, there was no articulation of american values, of the values of the post world war ii liberal

, david frumm, and david marinis, author of "barack obama the story." thank you all for being here. we put together what we felt were the top five obama lies in our view. and here they are. we're going to do them as a top five. number five, the world respects america less because of president obama. number four, president obama doesn't love america. number three, the affordable care act killed the economy. number two, president obama does death panels. he kills people. and number one, of course, the birther lie, president obama wasn't born in the united states of america. those are our top five lies. i'll throw it out, any of those that you think are not lies. and i know david has thoughts on number five. >> i think if you listen to me you'll agree that number five is true. as of june, president obama was aware that the united states was the target of the largest clandestine foreign operation in the history of the united states. what did he do? when you think about the monstrous danger of the gamble the russians ran in this election, how did they think they could risk it? what contempt

eight more years of 2% economic growth. >>> barack obama is the first president since hubert who never had a year of economic growth is 3% or more. after the last great per session -- the enomyrew 4.5% in a year think of where we'll be and think of where all the blue collar workers would be. >> let's talk about the next four years. donald trump did something that i really liked. >> i do watch the show, you know, i point out his greatness occasionally here. >> lets talk about infrastructure and the airports and the shabbiness and laguardia airport and the railroad system we have in this country compares to the railroad systems and airports all over the world and south africa and all over the world, it is all better than ours >> republicans are trusting to spend but they don't twoont wan it for fiscal reasons. we are not going to waiste your money but we'll spend some money to get capitol investment. do you think paul ryan will go along with that with trump doing some spending or not? >> i do. >> first of all, we have to understand that there are a lot of hugely important infrastructure

than predecessors. barack obama came into office with 78% favor bill clinton up by 66%. we'll be right back. over 400 medications can cause a dry mouth. that's why there's biotene. biotene can provide soothing dry mouth relief. and it keeps your mouth refreshed too. remember while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from dry mouth symptoms. >>> what we are saying to the republicans if you want to improve the affordable care act let's work together. but if you think you're simply going to throw millions off of health insurance you have another guess coming. >> it's cold out there where he is. senator sanders. organized safe the affordable care act. interview with "the washington post" robert costas said he close to unveiling the plan. trump said we're diagnose going to have insurance for everybody. people under the law much less expensive and better. he did not offer how he planned to cover everyone. i want to be able to take care of people. when people ask how to get the plan through congress, trump said i think it will get approval, i d

you say to people who are screaming that? >> let me pose another, did barack obama have the right to come in without questions being raised underlied questions about his birth. donald trump is the person who became the leader of the movement to delegitimize president barack obama, to disrespect him for eight years. donald trump didn't give up on birtherism until 2016. he just stopped searching for the real birth certificate. so the reality is republicans themselves withdrew the requirement that a president of the united states gets an automatic conferral. they refused to the point mitch mcconnell and other republicans in office said he's not even allowed to pass any law. we will filibuster anything he does no matter how minor even if it's our own bill. we'll say he can't pass laws, he can't make laws. if he manages to get one through the first thing we'll come in with the affordable care act and erase it from the books, obliterate it root and branch is what they've said. republicans have refused tore eight years to confer the proper respect, dignity and liberty upon president barack

believe in the american people. >> barack obama has just completed his 39th solo news conference. >> i think a lot of people in the democratic party are going to be looking to him essentially as the de facto leader until there is a next nominee. >> at my core, i think we're going to be okay. >> can you assure this committee that you will not cut one dollar from either medicare or medicaid should you be confirmed to this position? >> senator, i believe that the metric ought to be the care that the patient is receiving. >> i should take that as no? >> tom price is about to take us off a health care cliff. >> i haven't heard anything yet that would persuade me to support him. >> this is not tom price's official confirmation hearing, but this is a hearing that could have repercussions that we'll be talk about for months. >> the only thing is the end of the world is the end of the world. >> it's not the end of the world. that was one of president obama's messages today in his final press conference. what may be his final public comments as president of the united states. what is very

ever reported this, that mika and i spent more time consecutively with barack obama in the oval office one on one than we ever did with donald trump which was 90 minutes straight talking policy and it was all off-the-record. as journalists know and barack obama, i can name a thousand people who have done the same thing or don aually more than i did the other night trying to set up an interview. but if the president of the united states says come to the white house and talk to us 90 minutes it's off-the-record and i want to give you perspective, obama does that most of the time as do all presidents. you go -- i think. >> that actually gets to a larger issue. does anybody here at this table think there is a danger going forward within the media that if you do things like this, if you have an off-the-record conversation with donald trump you will be accused in the media by some of your colleagues of normallizing donald trump? >> is there a danger of in that no, a fact of that. >> that happens every day. if you write as i did this weekend an article for "the washington post," where

barack obama made a major announcement in springfield, illinois. >> that is why in the shadow of the old state colonel where lyndlin lincoln called -- i stand before you today to announce my candidacy for president of the united states. >> now nine years later he has 18 days left in the white house because he transition of power to donald trump. today relearned about his farewell address. he going back home. more on that and what he is promising, next. this is where my ancestors came from. and i absolutely want to know more about my native american heritage. it's opened up a whole new world for me. discover the story only your dna can tell. order your kit now at ancestrydna.com. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. daddy! lets play! sorry kids. feeling dead on your feet? i've been on my feet all day. dr. scholl's massaging gel insoles have a unique gel wave design

the most zealous hard-hearted critics of barack obama and i think they, too, would admit in a softer moment that this president has elevated the office, improved by touching the office and shown great respect for the office he's the custodian of. >> i think that's absolutely true. even his harshest critics praise his decorum, his dignity and, frankly, his fierce intelligence. i mean, this is such a well spoken president. we haven't had such a well spoken president in a long time, a man who speaks in complete paragraph. >> and never less than a complete paragraph. >> and who is eloquent. one thing that the sort of harshest anti-obama crowd never quite believed but it's true, i know it to be true, is that he really believes -- he has the corniest sort of vision of america. he really, really believes in america. he believes his story could only be an american story. so when he waxed on in that way and i think his critics were tempted to say, oh, you know, save us, that's really what's in his heart. >> so where's the rub? he does everything they say is perfect and yet -- >> well,

intelligence community was preparing these memos or assessments for druch and barack obama, they thought it was important enough to include this material and i would hope that they don't give trash to the president or the president-elect, but i do think that it's incumbent -- i know james comey, as he said today in the hearing i covered, doesn't want to say if an investigation has happened yet or not it's getting pretty close to the line. he has to tell the public whether this stuff was looked at or not. i think the american public has a righto know. >> he's very selective with the information he gives out. malcolm, david, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> the promise ed 11:00 a.m. ne conference went way, way up. i'm about to start the nature's bounty hair, skin and nails challenge to help with lustrous hair, vibrant skin and healthy nails. so in 30 days, my future self will thank me. thank you. wait, i become a model?!? no. whose cellphone is that? sorry. sorry. sorry about that vent blowing your hair. start the hair, skin & nails challenge today an

. the lincoln bible was not used for the transfer of power until barack obama in 2009 and 2013. donald trump will then deliver his inaugural address. the speech is believed to rest more on his philosophy and stressing his philosophy for the america. aides said the speech will be 20 minutes long and among the topics is outsourcing and infrastructure and immigration and education and american manufacturing. afterward, the two will lead an inaugural parade with approximately 8,000 participants from the capitol down pennsylvania avenue. >> willie, i was looking last night at past inaugural addresses and i have a new favorite one. calvin coolidge, silent cal and just gotten word that hardy had died and he was asked to give his inaugural address and it was this in its totallity. i think i can swing it. that was it! that was it! but i'm reminded also, looking back through all of these addresses of eight years ago, barack obama, and when we were sitting here, the extraordinary hopes that a lot of people in this bar had for president obama that you felt all over the city, that you -- an

president himself. but then very soon there after, february 2007, he came out for barack obama. he came out as an early and very high-profile supporter of this one-term illinois senator. right. and that was a really important endorsement for obama. obama was going to be running against hillary clinton and well-known democrats trying to win the democratic nomination in '08. to get somebody as well known as tom daschle to come out for him and early? that was a huge deal for obama. and it turns out the ties between these two politicians were more than just skin deep. by an accident of timing, tom daschle was getting unexpectedly turfed out of office at the exact same moment that barack obama was arriving at the united states senate. the young senator obama was able to hire some very, very experienced, very politically adapt staffers from the office of the outgoing democratic senate leader. he got tom daschle's top staff for the senator, for his senate office. and tom daschle's top staff in turn helped barack obama optimize his first term in the senate to try to give him the best chance of

that in the last eight years with barack obama. on anything! so don't come to me now and say, we have to get behind a guy who kno knows nothing about what he's talking about. >> mccain and lindsey graham backed him. >> okay, you got two. he's not owed anything. >> let him act like a grown-up first. >> but he's still our president. >> not until friday. >> what do you think is going to happen between now and friday? he's going to be our president. why don't you start acting like it! he's going to be our president. >> what did he do it barack obama for jeeyears and years? he delegitimized him. now you come along and say, we have to honor the presidency. this is hypocrisy. you didn't do it for barack obama. >> sure we did. i did. >> your party did not. [ all speak at once ] >> what's the smartest move for critics of this president to take? american krit. >> -- american critics? >> based on the psychology of it, you've got to praise him? >> praise who? >> praise trump and tell him how you're going to help him. he can try reset. >> child psychology, that's great. >> he should try reset. >>

. the image of those five african-americans that barack obama and michelle and the girl and grandma and filling the role of the first family of the united states as they walk across the south and getting on the helicopter to fly away and as they sit the front row at the state of the union and all of the important moment and seeing that, it is one of the most important legacies of the obama's presidency. it changes what's possible of america and rearranges the furniture inside our head. visual images are powerful, that's going to be with us for -- >> with that, thanks to both chris', the one in new york and the one in chicago. >> coming up after our next break, the busy news day of the best of today's action on capitol hill including testimony from trump's pick for attorney generals as "the 11th hour" continues. >>> my question is very simple is grabbing a woman by her genitel, is that sexual harassment? >> yes. >> he's the first trump nominee to start this vetting process on capitol hill and the work of the senate judiciary. joining me here is our eugene and charlie syke is here with us

king, more than anybody else, i suspect 50 years from now, they will put barack obama in the same sentences as martin luther king for doing that. but he actually fulfilled the promise constitution, the declaration of the words of the independence of the constitution. >> the suffrage that pushed for the right to women to vote and dr. king actually made real the promise that all men were created equal here. you're exactly right in the last year or two of his life. he had shifted his concern to economic justice and to vietnam, which were issues that however complicated the battle jensen jim crow was, however hard and violent and difficult it was, was even harder. in some ways, the high water mark was 63 and then the legislative achievements of '63 and '64. >>> top headlines. senator bernie sanders is back in campaign mode, if you can believe it. he and democratic congressional leaders joined thousands of americans across the country yesterday to send the message to republican lawmakers not to repeal obamacare. they held rallies in nearly two dozen states, including many battleground

get into an airplane and fly to the west coast. >> barack obama now getting used to life with a plain electric tern, with lecturn with no seal on it. they'll play the anthem prior to his remarks. you see the hubbub there on the left there, with former secretary of state hillary clinton, as we get set to start that luncheon. this really mashes up everybody in d.c. you've got supreme court justice, democrats, republicans, house, senate. >> i remember at the luncheon an the last inaugural seeing ruth bader ginsburg and then president obama having a big hug and a big warm discussion and there was so much talk about whether or not justice ginsburg would retire while president obama was still in office, and he never for one instant gave any sense he'd pressure her in that regard. we actually got insight into his perspective on that when you saw at this event four years ago. the warmth between them >> what do you think she's planning now, another eight-year engs tension? >> i think she's planning on immortality. she should talk to peter thiel about that. >> jacob is with some folks tak

trulicity. before barack obama had his first inauguration as president eight yearago, before him the president who turned out the biggest crowd ever to witness his inauguration was lbj in 1965. not what you would imagine, right? but it's true. he held the record, more than a million people turned out to see lyndon baines johnson inaugurated in january of 1965 that was interestingly his second inauguration, right? of course his first inauguration happened under very different very extreme circumstances. president kennedy was assassinated and vice president johnson had to become president johnson, had to be sworn in as the new president on an airplane. that was his first inauguration. 1963, of course, under terrible circumstances. but then he won a huge election victory in his own right in 1964 and then a record crowd of americans, the biggest crowd ever in d.c. for anything turned out to see him inaugurated for the second time. that record for the largest crowd ever for an inauguration stood for 44 years. until barack obama. yeah. remember that? this was washington, d.c. january 20, 2

that, a little mini tour of the lower press office, barack obama has just completed his 39th solo news conference. kind of a tour of policies, domestic and worldwide. at our table here in new york, we have nicolle wallace, who has worked on the other side of that wall behind the president as communications director in the white house. we have joy reid, who has written about the obamas and this president specifically. nicole, to you. what did you make of it? >> well, on russia and putin he sounds just like john mccain. i remember talking to you right after what was supposed to be his last press conference and i wondered outloud if standing up for american democracy, standing up for the idea of a free press would be one of the things he continued to talk about as he had one foot out the door, and it sounded like it might be along with voting rights and other things he's worked for since he was a community organizer. i think what people will remember -- one, this president goes out on a wave of popularity. as your special pointed out on monday, this presidency has been remarkable in

barack obama. he was elected twice and watching what happened during his tenure and who will be coming after him. you can imagine. >> distance. >> distance from his own value. i think you can imagine him or someone -- a lot of people who support him being cynical. the speech was about him basically testifying in a personal way, i'm more optimistic, confident in the power and potential of american civic involvement and american citizenship and the american democracy than i was when i was a young naive kid that didn't have gray hair and burst on the scene. i now have the battle scars. i have been there and i can testify to you firsthand, i've watched this guy -- he didn't say this, i've watched this guy question my citizenship and now su secede me -- be that was the sub text, right but your faith in people will be disappointed but more often than not rewarded. >> the quote i just read, the way it finished is sometimes you'll win, sometimes lose, presuming the reservoir of goodness in others can be a risk and there's times when the process will disappoint you but for those fortunat

to the elite. let's get positive now. i don't mind admitting because how you grew up -- barack obama was emotionally stirring. >> i felt the same way. i wrote a column the day after the election in this building, and i cried through the entire writing of the column. it was very emotional for me. it would be fascinating. it's not as if he leaving early, this is end of this era. i hope it's a forward looking speech. he talked about his legacy, i hope it points toward the future. >> he talked about being -- the republicans are doing jumping jacks if they this tripled -- if gotten help from the reduction, they would be stringing her up. >> one think i think is porn about tonight, he is not focused on his legacy, i think as he is trying to instill that hope and optimism to people. about how getting on legal school counsel, joining pta, joining the school board, be a voice of optimism, that's what he going to carry forward tonight. there's not going to be dry eyes tonight. a lot of people will be looking at that administration and focus on a lot of things he got done and a lot on the table to

should be done? what should nancy pelosi? what should barack obama do? >> we must not be silent. >> do you think the president has been too silent? >> no, but those of us in position, we have to go out there and make some noise. we've got to organize. >> that is a powerful thing to say coming from you, that you do not believe he is a legitimatety elected president. what should be done? >> we have to continue to work and continue to speak up and speak out. >> how do you accept working with him under any circumstance. >> it is going to be very hard and very difficult, almost impossible for me to work with him. >> we'll have more of that interview with congressman lewis later in the program, including whether he would ever invite naldrump to selma? not surprisingly lewis's comments drew some strong reaction from both sides of the while and multiple responses from the man he criticized. >> a day after congressman lewis told me he doesn't believe trump is a legitimately elected president, donald trump responded. >> he should respond more time on fixing his district. not to mention cr

i apologize for delegitimatizing presidency of barack obama for all those years. you apologize for delegitimizing my presidency but come to my inauguration and let's all get along but that's not going to happen. >> coming up, john mccain will join us. also reporting from hallie jackson. "new york times" reporter. friday live in washington to cover the presidential inauguration. our coverage kicks off 6:00 a.m. blocks from capitol hill. among our many guests on set will be minority leader nancy pelosi and senator rand paul. here now the forecast. >> you might wan to pack the little umbrella. not saying the big umbrella but little one. i'll explain in a second. let me first get to what happened over the weekend and holidays big ice storm across the country. kansas hit hard, oklahoma hit hard and areas around iowa. doesn't look bd but thin coating of ice makes a world of difference. no traction whatsoever. that storm through the ohio valley with mostly rain. plenty warm enough all rain in the great lakes. when it gets to the northeast later today, that's where we get freezing rain, ar

question that has to be asked is like, for instance, west haven, connecticut, went for barack obama by 20 points. i had a representative there tell me it went for trump by 20 points. there is a county, tom perez when he was here said there's a county in the middle of iowa that was plus 21 for obama. this year it was plus 21 for trump. it reminds me of howard dean's 50-state strategy. they have to figure out how to get out of the old mode and start speaking to some of these communities. >> also, howard, i'm trying to get my arms around why i watched that, i just feel they are overreaching. i think it's because there are some basic things here that are bearing out where you've just got to let the opposing side actually trip, which they are doing beautifully. >> what are you saying? i'm confused. >> first of all, there are muslim countries not included in this ban. there are clearly some growing pains that are going to bear out in the coming week, that are going to show the trump administration to be extremely inexperienced at best in this travel ban. and yet they are out there acting as

or assessments for druch and barack obama, they thought it was important enough to include this material and i would hope that they don't give trash to the president or the president-elect, but i do think that it's incumbent -- i know james comey, as he said today in the hearing i covered, doesn't want to say if an investigation has happened yet or not it's getting pretty close to the line. he has to tell the public whether this stuff was looked at or not. i think the american public has a right to know. >> he's very selective with the information he gives out. malcolm, david, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> the promised 11:00 a.m. news conference went way, way up. take one. directv now. stream all your entertainment! anywhere! anytime! can we lose the 'all'. there's no cbs and we don't have a ton of sports. anywhere, any... let's lose the 'anywhere, anytime' too. you can't download on-the-go, there's no dvr, yada yada yada. stream some stuff! somewhere! sometimes! you totally nailed that buddy. simple. don't let directv now limit your ent

later in the interview that mike barnicle said before barack obama was sworn in as he's of the united states. he said, at some point everybody gets the briefing and when they get the briefing, it changes them. and i know david ignatius can speak to this, but i thought it very telling, mike barnicle, we don't know if he got the big briefing or not, but we do know that he seemed far more focused on just how dangerous of a world this is and what he is walking into in the interview with mike allen and jim van dvan deny hig. >> the brief report that mika just gave us from mike allen's report of his meeting yesterday of the president-elect is among the more encouraging reports, i think, we have gotten out of the transition team and especially from the president-elect. as you know, as david ignatius knows, the weight of the presidency, the awesome responsibility of that job, once it sinks in that is the reaction you want. you want someone who is sort of subdued and, wow, this is the thing now. the campaign is over. the president-elect has been in campaign mode for many, many months, up throu

years telling everybody it's going to be okay. people came up to us literally after barack obama got elected and i had republicans saying this guy is a socialist. everything is going to be okay! >> when you say everything is going to be okay, you're saying it might not be. >> no, i'm not and neither is the president. >> really? >> two years later after the tea party won, we heard the same ing. we heard the same thing in 14 and now hearing it in '16 we lost. it chaps. let's fight and work and get back into place. everything is going to be okay. i thought he sounded reaganesque yesterday. i tweed this. i believe in this country. i believe in the american people. i believe that people are more good than bad. that's barack obama. it's an inspiring message. mike, i wrote a column about this two years ago, a it was sick and tired of people -- two years before i even knew donald trump was going to run for president, sick and tired of people always saying the country is going to help because their sights are not the white house. >> well, that was quite a display yesterday from the president

making promis. he has to put in place economic policies. that's what barack obama did. >> barack obama did not have that pr machine behind him. what donald trump does do is communicate this and the idea that people will have less regulation, whether they will or they won't in the end, it gets them enthused. >> barack obama set a record for the most consecutive months of private sector job growth. that's a fact. let's see what donald trump does. i think this is a big stheem for this week though. i think we've seen a transition with a lot of talk. he becomes president on friday, critics like me, his supporters, we have to sit back and see what actually happens now. >> right. >> what is going to happen when he is president of the united states? >> i think there's another thing that we should be looking at going on underneath all of this, which is that walmart announced it was going to add 10,000 jobs. that's pretty much what it normally does in a given year. the other thing they said is they're going to dramatically expand their training academies for workers. that says there's such

the other piece of this, chuck, is that barack obama should step up as well and call it what it is. it's wrong what is happening. it's wrong how some of these democrats are treating president-elect trump. we have a great relationship with the white house. i talk to dennis mcdonogh every day. we had a great meeting with the cabinet members and the sitting white house cabinet members on friday. the transfer of power within the white house is going great, but to do this to president-elect trump five days before he puts his hand on the bible is just wrong and the democrats are fund raising on this comment from congressman lewis right now. so they're making money on it. >> let me ask you this, because one of the things that congressman lewis says he will never forget and possibly never forgive that vladimir putin is a stronger leader than president obama and there are people that will respond to your comments right now and say donald trump spent five years questioning the legitimacy of barack obama's constitutional viability to be president of the united states with the birther controve

barack obama. yeah. remember that? this was washington, d.c. january 20, 2009. barack obama being sworn in as president for the first time. we don't have a hard-and-fast crowd estimate for how many people were there but nobody disputes he beat the record, that he beat lbj's record. and a big part of that was the historic nature of his election as the first african-american president but another part of it was the momentum coming out of his victory in the 2008 elect n election. he won election in 2008 by 10 million votes. the electoral college was 365-173. the democrats added 21 seats to what was already their majority in the house. they went all the way up to a super majority in the senate and, yeah, the 2008 election had been hard fought and they had called him every name in the book. by the time barack obama stood there on the dais to have chief justice john roberts screw up his oath of office he had a 67% approval rating. that was january 20, 2009. that became the most attended event ever in the history of washington, d.c. at the time democrats were on top of the world and the

inauguration of president barack obama when the city estimated that 1.8 million people came to witness history. meanwhile, saturday's women's march on washington had an estimated 500,000 participants, according to a d.c. official and organizers. well over 1 million people demonstrated at sister marches nationwide. civil rights hero representative john lewis addressed marchers in atlanta. >> when you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation, a mission and a mandate to say something, to do something. we cannot afford to be silent. we're going to send a message. i know something about marching. [ cheers and applause ] >> joining me now, three members of new york's congressional delegation. hakeem jeffries, gregory meeks and yvette clark. thank you for being here this morning. >> thanks for having us, reverend. >> congresswoman clark, it comes after several things this week as the administration came in that i don't think i've ever seen, and i've not been able to research an administration coming in with this kind of controversy. the historic gatheri

. people who voted against barack obama didn't suddenly agree with him on policy but in his record high, 78% approval rating on inauguration day, was the selective judgment of the country that he can be entrusted with the awesome burdens of the presidency. the most awesome being that card in his pocket with the nuclear codes. since we have never been here before in the history of presidential polling, we don't know how safe the country will feel tomorrow knowing whose pocket the biscuit is in. we have never been here before. a president who on his first day, in control of our nuclear weapons, enjoying the favorable opinion of less than one-third of the country. luckily donald trump's choice for defense secretary disagrees with virtually everything donald trump has said about nuclear weapons during the campaign, and we're also lucky that donald trump's choice for treasury secretary disagreed with him so sharply today. it's hard to pick the most irresponsible thing that donald trump has said as a candidate but it's easy to pick the most irresponsible thing he said about fiscal policy

say, want to do. and so it's not quite the celebration. barack obama had a lot of stars, and that brings interest from people. trump inaugural activities had trouble with that. the events will be notable this week. >> very interesting to see what happens friday, especially the energy on the mall which often the way we measure how it is. >> exactly. >> that energy you're talking about. kelly o'donnell, great to have you. >> good to see you. >>> congressman lewis cited russian influence, something senate intelligence committee has announcedt will vestigate going forward. professor at the university of texas, rober tranum, political analyst and senior bush/cheney adviser and national political reporter for bloomburg politics, sahil kapur. what's happening, sahil? >> he has gone after john lewis. he is a hero on this cause. nobody has more integrity on this issue and a lot of admirers in and outside the democratic party this really chills the atmosphere going forward for relations with president-elect trump and democrats in congress in particular. trump has a negative approval rating.

couple right now concerned about their confirmation prospects, as well as barack obama's speech. >> that we have to get to next block. we will speak with four members of the key committees voting on donald trump's cabinet picks. senators mike lee and dick durbin and jeff flake and chris coons will join the coming and joined by incoming chief of staff reince priebus. >>> plus. >> after my election there was talk of a post-racial america and such a vision, however well-ended, was never realistic. race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society. >> reverend al sharpton joins us to talk about the president's speech. >> and max fisher, we want to thank you for coming. i think it's worth noting, for all of our viewers, that as steve was saying last night, everybody was going off to the races and there were explosions going right and left online and max said, guys, hold on. >> it's a "seinfeld" episode! >> we have seen this before. 2003 and 2002. it may be true. take a deep breath and wait. thank you for that, max. appreciate you being here today. >> before we go to break, here is

years nancy pelosi is speaker of the house. 2008 barack obama, hope and change. this is a coalition that will change america forever. that's jt people of the press saying that. two years later the tea party comes to tn. so there's always the next election. it always comes at you too fast, and you never want to start this way. i hope you are right, mark. this needs to be reversed and paul ryan needs to take charge and say, guys, you're looking like idiots, like you have something to hide. this is not how we're supposed to start our new republican era. >> one more outstanding commercial for term limits. >> yeah. >> you've got a huge percentage of member of congress in safe seats, they do not care. they are going to be re-elected no matter what they do, gut the ethics. what does this portend for immediate future for paul ryan's leadership. he can't get members to go along on ethics thing, what does he do when donald trump comes in with democratically tinged proposal. >> it would help if trump would hurry along his press conference letting us know how he's going to handle ethics of high

talk about his sit-down with president barack obama and rare access he got to the outgoing commander in chief in his final days in office. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. i'm a concrete mason. i own my own company. i had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. finally, listening to my wife, went to a doctor. and i became diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma ...that diagnosis was tough. i had to put my trust in somebody. when i first met steve, we recommended chemotherapy, and then we did high dose therapy and then autologous stem cell transplant. unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease i thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy. it's an intravenous medicine that is going to make his immune system evade the tumor. with chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. and with immune therapy we've had such a positive result. i'm back to working hard. i've honestly never felt this great. i believe the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more at cancercenter.com appointments
