then the obamas and the trumps traveled to the national mall where mr. trump took the oath of office before becoming the 45th president. in his speech, president trump said today will be a day that forgotten people became the rulers again. he also promised jobs saying america will start winning again. missing were those 52 members of congress who stayed away in protest making this the second largest boycott of an inauguration by congress in u.s. history. now, the president is back at the white house where he is going to oversee a short inaugural parade before heading out for some balls around the capital this evening. live in washington, dc, melissa caen, kpix 5. >> stay with us throughout the day for coverage of the presidential inauguration. at 1:00, you can tune in for a special edition of kpix 5 news at 1:00 with allen martin and then it's a full evening of coverage starting at 5:00 right here on kpix 5. >>> and we were all watching the inauguration in the newsroom. it's certainly fascinating. it's an event that no matter what your political stance i

mr. trump: finally obamacare. reporter: have you outlined a plan for what you want the replace package to look like? would it guarantee coverage for those who have gotten health insurance through the current obamacare law? mr. trump: you are going to be very, very proud as not only the media and reporters, you are going to be very proud of what we put forth. having to do with health care. obamacare is a complete and total disaster. they can say what they want. they can guide you any way they want to guide you. they guide you incorrectly. in most cases it's imploding. some states have over 100% increase, and 17, and i said this two years ago, 17 is going to be the bad year. it's going to be catastrophic. frankly we could sit back, it's a thought from a political standpoint, but it wouldn't be fair to the people, we could sit back and wait and watch and criticize. and we could be a chuck schumer and sit back and criticize it and people would come, they would come, begging to us, please, we have to do something about

trump and did they brief mr. trump about it last friday? the answer, according to multiple intelligence officials, is no. a senior official tells nbc news that there was indeed a two-page summary accompanying that classified report on russian interference in the u.s. election which dealt with explosive and unsubstantiated claims that russia had compromising personal information about mr. trump. last night, it was widely reported that mr. trump was himself briefed on the material. but multiple sources, including those involved in the briefing process, tell nbc news that is simply not true. >> i was in the room and the first i heard of any of these wild accusations was when someone printed it off of the buzzfeed website. >> reporter: the friday briefing at trump tower was verbal and led by the director of national intelligence, james clapper. intelligence and law enforcement sources say the insind area material, original a 35-page document privately prepared as a smear of mr. trump, was reviewed and, quote, dismissed out of hand as, quote, de

some fear mr trump easing sanctions against russia. there's talk of an early summit in iceland's capital echoing the famous reykjavik encounter between reagan and gorbachev 30 years ago. that summit may have failed but it did open the way for eventual arms reduction. now the man tipped as trump's pic for ambassador to the eu says history can be repeated. trump's pic for ambassador to the eu says history can be repeatedlj think says history can be repeated.” think there will be a summit in rakitic which is quite interesting, not unlike the summit between reagan and gorbachev some decades ago where people were equally pessimistic and yet what resulted? frankly the end of the cold war. and we need an end to this cold war. donald trump is still calling the western military alliance of nato obsolete, so what could that mean for the new deployment of heavy armour to poland to deter any russian threat? could it be reversed ? to deter any russian threat? could it be reversed? francois hollande expressed his frustration. translation: europe w

also sparking conflict, the size of the crowd at mr. trump's inauguration. many news organizations published side-by-side photos showing the obama 2009 turnout was larger than this year's. that's where white house press secretary sean spicer picked up saturday evening... >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period-- both in person and around the globe. >> desjardins: today, spicer clarified, saying he was including in-person, plus television and online viewers. >> it's unquestionable. and i don't see any numbers that dispute that. >> desjardins: on saturday, spicer also correctly pointed out that a reporter had wrongly blasted out news that a bust of martin luther king junior had been removed from the oval office. but the greater question was about how the trump administration views facts and the free press. trump aide kellyanne conway made headlines when pressed by chuck todd on nbc's "meet the press" yesterday. >> don't be so overly dramatic about it, chuck. what it-- you're saying it's a falsehood and they're giving sean spice

trump and vice president elect, mr. pence, understand exactly what it is that we know, what we have intelligence about so when they make those decisions they will be informed decisions. chris: are you concerned when you hear mr. trump on that interview with the wall street journal already talking about a situation where he might lift sanctions? >> i think he has to be mindful that he does not yet, i think, have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road as well as making sure he understands what russia is doing. chris: what are the implications of going down that road? >> we look at what's happening in ukraine, syria, what's happening in the cyber realm. i think mr. trump has to understand that absolving russia of various actions that has taken in the past number of years is a -- is a road that he, i think, needs to be very, very careful about moving down. chris: from your vantage point, director of the cia, what's the mideast immediate and pressing crisis, foreign policy,

mr. trump tweeting. this looking forward to a speedy recovery to george and barbara bush, thank you for your wonderful letter. i thought the tweet was very nice. heather: i hope they are both okay, for sure. now, switch to the economy and job-killer, a stunning new report showing exactly how many jobs we are losing thanks to obamacare. abby: cheryl casone to explain. cheryl, good morning. cheryl: american action forum has released pretty stunning report saying that because of obamacare we have now lost 300,000 jobs, small business jobs to be particular here, also there's wage issue, 19 billion in lost wages every year because of obamacare. now, they looked at companies that have 20 and 99 employees, the biggest losses that we have saw as far as wage, florida, ohio, texas, pennsylvania, loss wages, but what this shows is that because of premiums and regulations it's been a dire hit on small businesses that was obamacare, of course, donald trump has promised to repeal and replace that law. abby: there are

they have had hand-ins all morning belong pretending to be mr. trump and mr. pence and other dignitaries. they are also doing a bit of decorating. look at gorgeous view. they are putting up flags and adding the finishing touches. security-wise. there will be 300 extra officers and 5,000 national guard troops. agents worked through 40 incidents from armed attacks to incidents. everything from mrs. trump sprang an ankle to a mortar attack or a drone above letting off some chemicals. the practice going smoothly throughouthroughout the day. and there will be balls at night. eric: it must be a kick for them to play the role of participants and the officials. there is a huge number of protests planned. what's the larges we can expect? reporter: 1,200 buses have been registered to bring some of these folks here. they won't be this close to the capitol, no one will, unless you have a ticket. folks can't get through the fences. they will have jumbotrons down on the mall showing everyone the festivities. we are expecting hundreds of thousands of people here. but not 20

mr. trump saw him on television. he is completely discredited. mr. trump season as this authoritative voice on the legal votes that supposedly happened. i am old enough to remember when conservatives and republicans cared about the truth and felt like you had to align your arguments with truth and the reality of things. there seems to be some element within the right, not just the right, but i mostly hear about conservatives him because i am -- conservativism because i am myself conservative. donald trump is driving them in all sorts of places the they will deeply regret. you cannot work in a self-governing country if you cannot agree on basic facts. there is no percentage in possible -- persuasion possible. you cannot make up your own facts. you cannot do it individually, and you cannot do it as president. host: we will go to new york. dave. good morning. caller: good morning. and curious about insurance trade barriers. guest: i think that is a huge problem. this goes to the point i was making earlier. republicans for the longest time have been free

the world is watching, now, what mr trump says, and listening very carefully. so i think mr trump has to be very disciplined, in terms of what it is that he says publicly. he is going to be, in a few days' time, the most powerful person in the world, in terms of sitting on top of the united states government, and i think he needs to recognise that his words have impact. but mr trump is not backing down, and of course he took to twitter, saying... the next commander—in—chief is proving to be just as divisive a president—elect as he was a candidate. not only has he started a war of words with the very people who keep america safe, he has now become embroiled in a row with one of this nation's most respected civil rights heroes. it's going to be very difficult. i don't see this president—elect as a legitimate president. john lewis marched alongside martin luther king. his words matter to the black community. donald trump attacked him on twitter, prompting criticism from within his own party. but the vice president—elect defended his boss. i have great re

hopes that mr trump's economic plans will ramp up growth. this surge is the latest sign in investors are brushing aside for now worries about mr trump's trade protectionism stance and are instead betting that the white house and the republican congress will implement what's in the era mentioned, tax cuts, spending big on infrastructure and cut the bureaucracy —— what samir mentioned. the japanese nikkei 225 is stronger by1.2%, the the japanese nikkei 225 is stronger by 1.2%, the hong kong hang seng has risen by 1%. if you look at the chinese stock market, it is currently flat as investors are set to start their chinese new year holidays. everyone is migrating to their respective hometowns and travelling overseas and markets there will be closed from tomorrow until next thursday, a very long market holiday for the mainland. that is the latest on the markets. sally, back to you. we are also looking closely at that issue of corporate tax cuts. it's a central part of president trump's strategy to boost the us economy and is on the agenda tod

after mr. trump's briefing on friday, the head of the fbi, james comey, told mr. trump about the existence of unverified allegations against him and also told him that a summary of those claims was included in the addendum to the top secret report. lester? >> thank you. >>> major drama on capitol hill as senate republicans took the first step to repeal obamacare by passing a budget resolution overnight as many americans slept. it goes to the house where it could pass as early as tomorrow. the full senate also passed an exception that will exempt retired general james mattis from a law requiring ex-military to be out of the house for seven years. the house votes tomorrow. >>> russia is pointing a finger at the kremlin for cyber attacks. inside russia's presidential offices our bill neely sat down with vladmir putin's spokesman who rejects those hacking conclusions. >> reporter: tonight there is no doubt how donald trump is viewed in the kremlin. >> does president putin like what he sees so far? >> i have no doubt that, yes. >> reporter: putin spokesman tells us tru

as mr. trump became the g.o.p. nominee, the namo nature of the russian activities changed. >> there's nothing i can think of that i'd rather do than have russia friendly as opposed to the way they are right now. >> reporter: believe putin and the russian government developed a clear preference for him, and then aspired to help president-elect trump's election chances. but the kremlin still believed clinton would win, and it already put together a twitter campaign with the hashtag #democracyrip, to discredit her victory. late today, the department of homeland security declared election systems to be critical infrastructure which will give the agency greater oversight over their cyber-security. but, scott, no one believes the russian attacks compromised the vote tally. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom, jeff, thank you very much. mr. trump was briefed today by the directors of national intelligence, the f.b.i., the c.i.a., and the national security agency. jan crawford has that. >> reporter: calling t

they've had stand-ins working all morning long pretending to be mr. trump and mr. pence and other dignitaries. the people are still practicing throughout there. they're also doing a bit of decorating. take a look at the gorgeous view on the left front of the capitol, they're putting up flags, they're adding the finishing touches. now, security wise police will have 3,000 extra officers and 5,000 national guard troops here. secret service agents have been prepping at a training facility in maryland that includes a mock-up of the parade route. agents worked through 40 incidents from armed attacks, everything from mr. and mrs. trump -- [inaudible] to a mortar attack or something even worse, perhaps a drone above letting off some chemicals. so the practice going very smoothly throughout the day. friday night the fun will continue, of course. there are three official balls including one that honors the military and first responders. there are also some unofficial balls including one called the deplore-ball, a takeoff on hillary clinton calling mr. trump's supporters dep

trump's sexual behavior and potential bribes. mr. trump says it's complete fabrication. the report was compiled by former british spy christopher steele. you know him. what kind of man is he? >> he's an honest professional. and nobody in his position would wish to make this sort of stuff up. it, after all, is potentially dangerous for him. >> reporter: steele has now fled his home southwest of london and has gone into hiding. wood told us he doesn't know if the allegations are true, but the tactic of sexual entrapment by russia's intelligence services, the f.s.b., is widespread. >> it's just a very common practice. for the f.s.b. to say they never use it is-- laughable. >> reporter: in 2013, mr. trump returned to moscow for the miss universe pageant and used the occasion to try and develop other business ties. >> no one i suppose knew that he was going to become president then, but why not give it a go and stick it away for possible use later? >> reporter: because that's what russians do. >> yes. >> reporter: wood told us he's not surprised christopher steele has gone to

intelligence community will gather at trump tower in new york city to brief mr. trump. mr. trump has been openly skeptical of the charges. yesterday the director of national intelligence, james clapper, laid out the case against moscow on capitol hill. nancy cordes has the the story. >> reporter: the nation's top intelligence official, james clapper, said he is more convinced than ever it was the russians who hacked the democratic national committee and clinton campaign chair john podesta. >> this was a multifaceted campaign. so the hac of it. and it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news. >> does that continue? >> yes. >> reporter: was it an act of war? clapper said that was not his call to make. nor was he prepared to say it cost clinton the election. >> certainly intelligence community can't gauge the impact it had on choices of the electorate made. there is no way for us to gauge that. >> either way said republican lindsay graham, the u.s. need to strike back. >> i think what obama did was throw a pebble. i'm ready to throw a rock. >> hanging over

and mr. trump's order is not a restart of the project, more like a reset. transcanada, the firm in charge of keystone xl, will resubmit its application. on dakota, the army corps of engineers was ordered to review and approve in an expediteed manner. either pipeline's approval could still take months or years. the standing rock suit tribe has fought the pipeline construction, saying it crosses what they call "traditional tribal land." >> the whole world is watching you. >> reporter: it might lead the a catastrophic leak in the missouri river. >> we have to start building awareness. >> reporter: chairman dave archambault ii says his efforts to reach out to the new administration were ignored. were you surprised at this move? >> i wasn't surprised. i figured that he was going to try to do something, because i know what drives this man. it's all about money. >> reporter: these activists vow to stay here and block the pipeline. mr. trump owned up to $50,000 of stock in the company building the pipeline. a spokesman said he sold it last year, but, scott, we won'

mr. trump says it will begin in months. it was one of the steps he took to tighten immigration policy. more is expected today including a temporary ban on refugees from predominantly muslim countries. roxana saberi is here with more. >>> good morning, anne-marie. he promises to crack down on illegal immigration and build a wall on the boarder of mexico but he'll need help to pay for his plans. his sweeping executive orders are likely to dominate his agenda as he meets with congressional republicans in philadelphia. >> beginning today, the united states of america gets back control of its borders. >> among them, a directive to jump start the construction of a wall along the u.s./mexico border and add more border patrol agents. congress would have to initially fund the $10 billion project but in an interview with >> the mexican precedent immediately fired back saying his country will not pay for the wall. >> we are going to get the bad ones out, the criminals and drug dealers. >> he faced pushback from politicians in so-calle

mr. trump's nominees for defense secretary and c.i.a. director are likely to be the first confirmed by the senate, perhaps as early as inauguration day. but major garrett reports tonight that other nom we haves to other departments are being slowed down by questions from their past. >> the hip act, as an orthopedic surgeon i bear some familiarity with that. >> reporter: that was tom price in june talking about legislation he introduced to delay a federal regulation related to hip replacements. a introoused that bill, price bought between $1,000 and $15,000 of stock in a company that stood to benefit from that delay. >delay. federal law prohibits members of congress from using inside information to make stock trades. senate minority leader chuck schumer: >> it may well be that this trade was illegal. >> reporter: mr. trump's nominee to lead the labor department, andy puzder has drawn protest over his labor practices at his fast food restaurants. transition officials say he has growing reservations about enduring a confirmation hearing. an

mr trump said during his campaign. he supported the idea of safe zones in syria for civilians, essentially at the time he presented them as a way to keep syrian civilians in syria or east of the region as a way to stem the refugee crisis and another thing he said he -- is crisis and another thing he said he —— is he would get the gulf countries to pay for that. would they do that? he has never detailed how this would work militarily and the government has not gone for them so the government has not gone for them so far because to have a real one you have to have military muscle behind it, planes in the sky ready to shoot down any threat. this is quite a big deal to set up a safe sun but that will be studied, apparently. one last story of huge significance, if it happens. reports that immigrants from seven countries, including libya, yemen, iran, syria and iraq will be incredibly restricted in their ability to come into the us. what have you heard? that is part of mr trump ‘s promise to restrict immigration from c

trump. i would also like to ask about mr. trump's comments about mr. lewis and i want to put up this tweet, because in response, the president-elect called him all talk, talk, talk, no action. can he really say that about the man who got his head cracked open walking across the bridge in alabama on blood he sunday do you think that's appropriate? >> mike: i think donald trump has the right to defend himself. when someone of john lewis' stature, someone who is not only an icon in the civil rights movement, but also by somebody who by virtue of his sacrifice on that day that we know as bloodied sunday, he suffered that abuse and cross that bridge, and it was true that the voting rights -- for someone of his stature to use terms like this is not a legitimate president. it's just deeply disappointing to me, and i hope he reconsider reconsiders, but what donald trump was talking about their was literally generations of failed policies coming out of washington, d.c., that have failed to many families and too many cities all across this country. i will tell y

trump. last night, it was widely reported that mr. trump was himself briefed on the material. but multiple sources, including those involved in the briefing process, tell nbc news that is simply not true. >> i was in the room and the first i heard of any of these wild accusations was when someone printed it off of the buzzfeed website. >> reporter: the friday briefing at trump tower was verbal and led by the director of national intelligence, james clapper. intelligence and law enforcement sources say the incendiary material, originally a 35-page document privately prepared as a smear of mr. trump, was reviewed and, quote, dismissed out of hand as, quote, deceitful by law enforcement and [000:07:58;00] one senior intelligence official saying, "intel and law enforcement officials agree that none of the investigations have found any conclusive or direct link between trump and the russian government, period." last night, buzzfeed published the original 35-page document outraging mr. trump. the president-elect tweeting last night, "intelligence agencies should never have allowed t

trump, hoping they can get to some kind of accommodation with mr. trump here it -- mr. trump. loved one of your recent publications calling international politics taking bizarrowadays in a world, the fictional planet from d.c. comics, so what does it take to get the upper hand in this new political environment? .> it is very hard what i said in that article in the financial times is that we are seeing the opposite occurring all over the world, the opposite of what you would expect to occur. the brits normally vote in their own self-interest, and they voted against their self-interest with brexit. in the u.s. elections come you would think that everything mr. trump had done would make him appear unfit for the presidency, and yet he has won this historic victory. things are very topsy-turvy. just as the international legal community gives a crystal-clear view on the legalities of the south china sea, the philippines of alexa a president who steps back from that and looks like he's moving towards china, so things are very unpredictable and the chinese would be feeling that at the

president, donald trump, taking aim at germany plus chancellor. mr. trump: i think she made one very cap traffic mistake and that was taking all of these illegals. brent: and it's not jujust angea merkelel's migration policies, e is also skeptical on the future of nato and the european union. we will get reaction from right here in n berlin. and coming up, a cargo plane crashes into a village in kyrgyzstan, killing at least 37 people. the turkish and 737 was trying to land in fog. helena: and reporting live from the annual meeting of the world economic forum in davos with a trump presidency and brexit looming large, local economic leaders have a lot on their plates. brent: good to have you with us. in just five days, donald trump becomes the 45th u.s. president and already, he's pulling no punches when it comes to criticizing one of the u.s.'s closest allies. in his latest interview, trump says the german chancellor, angela merkel, was wrong to allow hundreds of thousands of refugees into germany, describing them as illegals. trump says merkel possibl

mr. trump, it seems, and out to embark on his own form of dumbo diplomacy. i asked about mr. trump's threat to challenge china's territorial claims unless it makes concessions on trade. >> he plays with fire. mr. trump plays with fire, but china also has fire, and it is going to burn him. reporter: it is trade, of course, that has made china a wealthy superpower, and the stakes could not be higher. john sudworth, bbc news. beijing. katty: getting a bit of chinese tough talk. it is going to be interesting to watch that relationship and see exactly how the trade dispute shapes up between donald trump and the chinese. two british politics. ministers will introduce a bill within days to start the process of getting out of the european union, known as brexit. that's after a major ruling by the british supreme court today. the judges determined the government cannot trigger the formal negotiations for leaving without approval of parliament. reporter: democracy, said abraham lincoln, is the government of the people, by the people, for the people. beneath this statue outside the supr

trump, mr. trump, mr. trump, we have to move on. >> oh, thank god. i don't know if you could tell, but i was really spinning out of control. >> secretary clinton, now, i'd like to ask you about an ongoing issue for your campaign. wikileaks has been releasing your campaign e-mails, many of which raise some serious questions. >> thank you for bringing up my e-mails, chris. and i'm very happy to clarify what was in some of them. sorry. what, carol? what? i'm sorry -- i thought i heard my friend carol. anyway, back to your question about the way that donald treats women. and that is how you pivot. >> so you're just never going to answer a question about your e-mails? >> no, but it was very cute to watch you try. >> now, mr. trump, in the last week, 11 women accuse you of sexually assaulting them. do you still deny each of those claims? >> chris, of course i do. i'm completely innocent. i've said this before, and i'll say it again -- nobody has more respect for women than i do.

with mr trump or his team. we do not know why she is there. we may find out but thank you for now, barbara. sir malcolm rifkind is a former chair of the intelligence and security committee, he's in our westminster studio. thank you for coming in. if you were in the foreign office today, what would you be focusing on? what has been most significant today is the extent of the support from the new head of the cia, and rex tillerson, distance and then —— distancing themselves from president trump. berkeley to make sure they get through the nominating process but also it suggests that they will be perfectly willing to be independent in the way they conduct the affairs of the department of state and the cia. that is encouraging but it also demonstrates the unprecedented abbess between the president and those whom he is supposed to command. because what is your sense of the likely coherent of a government of those divisions are they? it is deeply disturbing because on domestic policy you will have a president who

mr. trump's home is new york city. the far left mayor bill de blasio will hold an anti-trump demonstration in the city. will be a big one, with celebrities right before the inauguration. and the media, pouring on the contempt for trump and that is an accurate word to use, contempt. the editorial pages and broadcast networks are full of hostility, yes, contempt for our next president. and anything, any one who says anything favorable about trump is harshly criticized and yes, ostracized. steve harvey went to trump tower. that is all he did. he says the reaction was fierce. everyone has the constitutional right to protest, but is our democracy undermined when the legitimacy of mr. trump's presidency is questioned? my answer is yes. in a large bloc of politicians says the election was not legit and the media condemns him with contemptuous concerns, the democratic process begins to fray. media supporters and left don't do any good with this cooler heads should prevail, like vice president joe biden, albeit reluctantly, the

that prompted an angry response from mr trump, tweeting... his comments came as civil rights activists in washington kicked off a week of anti—trump protests, ahead of the inauguration. we won't be trumped, we won't be trumped! the reverend al sharpton called on all politicians to support equality. we come not to appeal to donald trump. because he's made it clear what his policies are, and what his nominations are. we come to say to the democrats, in the senate and in the house, and then to the moderate republicans, to get some backbone. get some guts. and, in a separate development, broadway starjennifer holliday said she is pulling out of a concert celebrating the inauguration, this after her gay and lesbian fans described the forthcoming performance as a betrayal. the operation is in full swing, but few big names have agreed to perform for mr trump, and friday's ceremony looks to be dominated by military bands, rather than a—listers. about 100 people are feared to have drowned off the libyan coast after their boat sank on their way to

trump and the intelligence agencies, some two hours they spent in trump tower, they gave mr. trump that highly confidential report explaining and concluding that the russians did in fact interfere with this election, they did in fact want to smear hillary clinton to help president-elect trump to win the presidency and this was all ordered by russian president vladimir putin. now, this all came and mr. trump released the statement in which he has said that it was a constructive meeting and he said he had tremendous respect for the intelligence agencies and that in the first 90 days of his presidency he will enact major cyber attack reforms and make sure there's a plan in place to protect against such attacks, but if you were expecting him to come out and condemn vladimir putin, the russians and say his doubt and skepticism over the u.s. intelligence agencies in the last few weeks he said the media and everybody else was hyper focused on russia and it was a political witch hunt, that did not happen. in a statement he did say, though, while russia, china, other countries and out

trump's presidency. mr. trump's advisor kellyanne conway defended the president- elect. >> it's like seeing the walking wounded. everybody's always gunning for us and we're just supposed to look away. >> congressman lewis close not to react to the president- elect's words while celebrating the martin luther king holiday. >> as dr. martin luther king junior said heavy is too heavy a burden to bear. >> nearly a million people are expected to attend the swearing in and hundreds of organizations plan to protest. >> all of the controversy and all the skepticism that continues from the campaign in a typically american way will vanish in that moment of power transferring from partisan to partisan. >> and today russian president vladimir putin accused the outgoing obama administration of attempting to undermine mr. trump's presidency. he said those who spread fake allegations, are, quote, worse than prostitutes. putin is referring to a dossier of unverified claims against mr. trump during a past visit to moscow. >>

coats met with mr. trump in november. w i gave him some of my years ad experience in terms of what i thought they would be dealing with and made some suggestions. on reporter: but the president-elect continues to cast doubt about the intelligence community's ncndings on russian hacking, and senior administration officials say he is planning to streamline u.s. intelligence agencies, including the c.i.a. as part of that effort, mr. trump reportedly had considered eliminating the director of national intelligence position. it was created after the 9/11 commission found agencies like ehe n.s.a. and c.i.a. were not d aring information that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. former new jersey governor tom kean co-chaired the commission. >> without the d.n.i., we are much less safe in the united states. and we can't be that. en need to be safer, not less safe. >> reporter: but kean said the position should have more authority than it was given by tiesident obama. >> i think it's an inefficient organization. s> reporter: admi
