to the white house? >> actually, physical constraints there are none. the whole house belongs to the family. the american people elected them so they can do anything they want. if they wanted to stop tours they could. i don't think any president or first lady ever would consider that. but the ground floor and the first floor of the residence are pretty much historic. i think that now has been established with mrs. kennedy's efforts in 1961 to '63 and those rooms have a historic basis to them. upstairs on the second floor in the private quarters there are the traditional guest bedrooms on the second floor at the east end of the building, the lincoln and the queen's bedrooms. those are the traditional guest bedrooms when the family has personal guests there. then the other rooms up there can be used in any way that the first family desires. it is their home as well as the third floor and during the years there have been different family members who have resided there, as i said earlier. president carter ha

house is the white house. it's just a spectacular place, and, you know, it's something that represents something very special. >> reporter: with all the precision and the preparations, ultimately, rochon says, moving day can be emotional. he still remembers the feeling of saying goodbye to george and laura bush. >> i remember inauguration day, in the morning, to say farewell in if the rece room, and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. including the bushes. >> our thanks to elizabeth. i hope you join elizabeth and med for a special edition of "20/20" tonight. the inauguration of donald j. trump. we'll be live at the balls here in washington, d.c. 10:00 p.m. eastern tonight. >>> when we come back here this evening, mexican drug lord el chapo facing charges in the u.s. he's now here in the u.s. >>> and news continue coming in about former president george h.w. bush and his wife, barbara. h.w. bush and his wife, barbara. we'll be right back. en you have, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, wh

and the home page of the white house. the digital transformation also included the presidential twitter handle, the flotus account, and the white house instagram account. the first fami w house. >> they say the first night, slue your family there. it will be very exciting. >> reporter: trump's senior advisers say his first executive orders will likely reinvolve scrubbing what he calls job-killing energy restrictions. >> i feel like washington will have a shock to its system with president trump. >> and jon karl live tonight across pennsylvania avenue here. jon, president trump's team said the first major day is going to be monday, it's going to be a big one, they say. >> reporter: well, they are saying his first 100 hours are going to look like a first 100 days of a new presidency. i expect those executive orders will be signed. the first on trade and on regulations. also, he needs to kind of learn his way around the place. he says he's going to visit the major agencies. i expect, david, that the cia will be one of the fi

the state department to the white house as the white house to the state department. just think about that. you can actually do coordination in a different way. >> what you have to have if you do it that way is an informal, preferably informal group at secretary of state level, may include a defense person, may include a intelligence person, may include a economic person depending on the issue who are congenial with one another. they will fight with each other about policy but also they will work together and realize, the administration has been able to establish, effective and formal coordination at cabinet and near cabinet level. will be more effective establishing at near assistant level. >> you have to give somebody convening authority and i think the, you mentioned, ivo, about the ipcs, i think the obama administration specifically in their initial directive had a whole paragraph saying ipcs will not be inneragency headed by a department. they will be in the white house, headed by a person on the nsc staff. so i think this sort of control from the white house was

so far from a white house far from the white house producers, no direct response from the white house to this protest although we've heard president trump yesterday at issue here is not that much of his ativan on muslims and as far as he was concerned it was working very well. elizabeth: speaking of the president right now. donald trump is scheduled to speak with the king of saudi arabia. the phone call expected to begin moment ago. the call is the latest in a series of conversations president trump is holding with leaders this weekend. five calls were made to mr. trump yesterday including one to vladimir putin. today president trump also speak with the prince said the united arab emirates and south korea's acting president. leland: and back to our top story now. protests happening at several airports across the country. as we sat around the world than the one of those airports is lax that that's where we find someone. give us a sense of the crowd spirit are the growing or shrinking question dark >> so far we've seen about 50 people trickle in here. they are expecting a massive protes

it's the white house again. it's not a place that's not occupied by either first family and, again, right here standing here you feel the power of this office. you feel the majesty of this moment. when we can look mr. trump and mr. pence in the eyes, we can feel and sense that it's a very humbling and time for them to come to the white house for the first time as president and vice president of the united states. >> well, his speech today, ron, certainly made it sound as if he's got a full head of steam, so it will be a very, very busy place as the new era in washington, the trump administration, takes over and sets their course. the president right now and vice president for that matter seem to be having a ball. he's been on his feet for quite a while. he's clapping. he's saluting. he's giving a thumbs up. clearly taking in this moment. i guess the hardest part of his day, making the speech, is over now and he's just trying to take in all these marching units as they come by. and knowing it's all for him. >> mi

and as the white house changed the rules on the fly. also tonight, opponents fight the ban in court and congress. >> it was not well thought out. it was not properly considered. >> pelley: but the president has his supporters. >> keeping our country safe and lawful. >> pelley: and a family caught in the net. >> look at her. does she need to be vetted? this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: this is our western edition. protests against president trump's immigration ban have entered a third night. crowds have gathered outside the u.s. supreme court in washington and at columbia university in new york city. earlier in the evening, tens of thousands demonstrated in london and scotland. this follows a weekend of protests at airports all around the united states, and here's what it's all about: president trump's anti-terrorism executive order bans citizens of seven countries with muslim majorities from entering the u.s. for at least 90 days. refugees from all other countries are banned for 120 days, and refugees from syr

the white house might be a step down. >> the white house is the white house. it's just a spectacular place. and, you know, it's something that represents something very special. >> reporter: the new first family is free to decorate the top two private floors however they like. but the first floor rooms are too historically significant to change. >> the idea that donald trump is gonna come in and bling out the white house, that's not really possible. >> reporter: and it's not just decor. there's also the question of cuisine. >> he might wanna change things around. >> the obamas famously had a very healthy chef. >> donald trump might be doin' fast food -- >> donald trump likes his burgers -- >> so there's no question the white house is the imprint of whoever the president of the moment is. >> reporter: the obamas put their own imprint on the white house. and although the president's private residence is typically off-limits, the public recently got a glimpse behind the scenes. when the obamas opened their home to architectural digest. >> there is a real with how

house response, no official comment from the white house. the president was two minds on twitter on sunday. watched protest yesterday, but under the impression we just had an election. why didn't these people vote? and then, peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. even if i don't agree, i recognize the rights of people to express their views. that's the message for generations we heard during protests from presidents. we should note, one of the questions is can the people who organized the march turn it into anything other than venting of your money. time to roll back obamacare. it could have little impact on the law first. it is controlled by regulations that cannot be undone with a single order, but tweak how the issues are carry out. the goal is minimizing the financial burden. not impose fines on small businesses that don't provide health care. it gives flexibility to medicaid. the administration promises no one will lose coverage during the transition, republicans are repealing provisions with no replacement plan in place. th

another delay at the white house. we're watching and will go right to sean spicer and fit in a break here. the live coverage continues right after this. my business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? >>> the reason you're my first stop is that as you know i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. and they sort of made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community. and i just want to let you know the reason you're number one stop is exactly the opposite. exactly. and they understand that, too. >> the media made it sound as if donald trump had a feud with the intelligence community. we have gone back over his twitter feed regardin

the white house. the white house announcing today it is in the beginning stages of discussions to move the u.s. embassy to israel -- in israel. white house press secretary sean spicer telling cnn, quote, we are at the very beginning stages of even discussing this subject, end quote. moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was one of president trump's pledges during the campaign. that alert coming on the heels of a phone call between president trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we have coverage on this breaking story. we begin with jeff zeleny at the white house with more on this. right after the phone call president trump heading to the east wing of the white house for a swearing-in of his senior staff. we're looking at live pictures right now. that could happen at any moment. but first talk about israel and what potentially is the issue here. >> good afternoon, fredricka. by now president trump should have had that conversation with prime minister netanyahu. it was scheduled f

but but if you bring it all into the white house then the white house becomes a useless government, why bother. it is this constant tension and belief that the only way you can coordinate is to have the expertise, that leads to growing stats when it's the ability to think through where in the government is this expertise and how do we bring it to bear and let them into what trent implemented. that is the question as he once put it is every morning when i wake up i look in the mirror and say how can i have one less staff person, not one more but one less. >> what is it that were doing that someone else can do better. >> the question you raise is a basic dilemma of government. to give it to the functional expert for the regional expert. it depends on the nature of the issue. if it's predominantly, if the issues with china are predominantly in trade issues you tend to give those to the economic people. they're more security than he give them to the china people. but it's not automatic or easy. cyber would be an example but then that doesn't mean that you have to pull everything into the wh

house press corps in the white house. i would say it's a really important symbol. it's more than just symbolism. but even taking that argument as face value, there is something symbolically important about all of you gathering here every single day to hold people in power accountable, to demand answers, to demand transparency, to demand facts and your ability to do that is going to be affected if you don't have regular access to the white house, you aren't able to do your job from the white house and there is not a natural, readily available venue for you to hold senior officials accountable. this is again, a relationship that president obama believed was important to invest in. he made this a priority. it wasn't because he liked all your coverage. >> he could have held more press conferences. >> he probably could have. i think this is exactly a good illustration. you should be asking for more. you should say that we appreciate president obama's investment but there's more he could have done. that's the nature of this rel

movers carry furniture in and out of the white house. personal items are carefully organized from the moving truck. the dining rooms are decorated and set up and the kitchen staff sets up an inaugural snack, something to help the first family get through all of those late-night calls. of course, the oval office gets a sprucing up as well. new painting on the wall, the carpet and desks are cleaned. new technology is installed. no detail is ever too small. >> one thing that we were very aware of is the new president wanted a special showerhead and so we had to scramble to make sure we had the perfect rain showerhead for president obama. >> reporter: we do not know yet what changes the trump family is questioning but a family that is used to the finer things in life, we can only expect an open pew lent makeover. >> i just want a very special place. i'm going to be working. i'm not going to be decorated. >> reporter: the departing first family may be leaving but the staff stays on. >> i was even in tears. because you really do grow to love t

reporting today from the white house. we're back with democratic senator robert menendez of new jersey. he's a member of the foreign relations committee. senator, what's your reaction to the president's call for a major investigation into what he regards as massive voter fraud? as you know, he told members of congress that maybe 3 to 5 million people voted illegally in the most recent presidential election and that's why he didn't win the popular vote because they voted for hillary clinton. what's your reaction to a full-scale investigation he is about to order? >> well, wolf, i think this is a trump trap. to suggest that 5 million illegal votes took place in the last election is absurd. it's outrageous. it's divisive. i think you know it, i know it. and i think that even the trump people know it. but what does it do? and while we can't let it not be challenged, we obviously do. by the same token, it takes away the attention of the american people that their insurance is being taken away without the ability to know what's

our cnn's white house correspondent is there outside of the white house. this has been an incredible day of contrast today at the white house, te. >> reporter: you saw james comey in the blue room of the white house, and the vice president and president were thanking the law enforcement and first responders, that helped protect the inauguration, but certainly james comey, the fbi director, who had become front and center both before the elect shauion a after the election. i wouldn't quite call it a hug, but it was definitely a hand shake. james comey is a very tall man. he's one of the tallest officials in washington. we're talking basketball player height, so he went in and leaned in to the hospital so it may have looked like a hug. he said you're becoming more famous than i am, as fbi director. he looked a little bit uncomfortable in that moment. but this is the second time we have seen the president making the rounds of these official photo type opportunities in the blue room of the white house. this followed after watching the swearing in of his team o

i think the white house has a point. and steve bannon also had one other point, which i think is fair, and that is that we ought to listen more. if we listen more we are going to learn more and we are going to do a better job at bringing the facts that the american people need to be able to make a judgment about how the white house and donald trump are doing. >> jon: while the president's opinion of journalists is none too high, here is part of what he told sean hannity in that interview last night. >> the media, a little bit of a contentious start, if you will, with them. i've seen now "the new york times," cnn, nbc, they have used the word "liar" to describe you as it relates to you talking about crowd size. >> these are very hostile people, these are very angry people. >> but they also colluded against you in the campaign. >> they are very dishonest people, the media is very dishonest, i say that openly. >> i said journalism is dead, so we agree. >> never dead, but very dishonest people. in many cases. you have some v

>> i've heard it inside the white house don on more than one occasion, white house staff, presidents get angry at press. never heard it come out this way. it was stunning. i think he has a point that those of us in the media should have humility and be listening more. there are forgotten americans out there we don't know as well as we should but when he tells press you're the opposition, shut your mouth. mr. bannon we're not shutting our mouths. you can't intimidate us. >> well put. jeff he also says the media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and listen for a while. you heard what david said. not going to keep our mouth s t shut. what is press corp. reaction? >> we all have to listen more to what country is saying and voters are saying. president included. yes he won and sweeping call for change but it's not one and done situation. checking with voters constantly who wanted and demanded change and what we'll be watching for is to see if they believe this president is answering that and delivering for them. in terms of shutting our mouths, of course not. do

that's a huge reason why he's in the white house. the white house. in terms of covering minority issues and so forth, i think that we're really going to have to stay focused on what is happening to latino americans in this country. this wall that's being built on the border that president initiated. you know, and an immigration officers go out and start looking at you know picking people up and throwing them into detention and deporting them from the country. are threw going to be going after the right country. that's going to be a huge story going forward. >> ari, you co-wrote a piece in cjr with mike mccurry, republican press secretary and a democrat press secretary. >> don't let that be the last word. >> ok, i'll let you respond to it, ok? then i get a 30-second rebut. >> thank you for doing that. this is why i love journalism. holding you accountable. you -- i want to ask you what the two of youthink and can agree on, some of there is in the article some is not by both the press side and the press secretary side to get more and better information

should the white house have reached out to her? >> i think there may have been expectation that olc would have a discussion with the head of the department. that's what normally happens. once the attorney general has an issue with an order from the white house, there should have been discussions between the attorney general and the white house council and the chief of staff, and then ultimately the president of the united states to advice the white house that she had serious concerns, and at that point if the white house said we still want to move forward i think it would have been appropriate for sally yates to resign as opposed to sending out a blanket order to department of justice orders that they are not going to defend the executive order. >> you, obviously, are well-equipped to talk about all of this, and you resigned and you are no stranger to controversy. help us understand this, if you ever had a difference of opinion with president bush, then what? are you not supposed to be attorney general? >> no, at that point you hav

. >> what did you do in the bush white house? is it representative for media and public affairs. >> when did you first meet -- >> i met him a week after he got elected. i have been asked by individuals who are helping him transition from wisconsin state chairman to rnc state chairman after his election to the chairmanship. and asked if i would come in and sit down to meet and if i had an interest. i said i would and we hit it off day one in the interview. >> by the way you and talk about somebody else who works nonstop, between rights -- and donald trump they're going 100 miles an hour 23 hours a day. >> day. >> how will he structure the white house and how will he control the flow of information. >> when you look at his job over the last six years at the rnc, he has been unequivocally the most effective rnc chairman throughout history. he understands when you're talking about running an organization with thousands of people in the election season making sure they get paid in raise the money and the briefing gets done, understand

as he manages the relationship between the white house and white house press corps and as he seeks to advocate for the best interest of the united states. with the regard to advice the president has given the president-elect, the president and president-elect consulted on the telephone number of times. they met in person in the oval office on november 10 but i'm gonna protect their ability to have a private conversation. >> so many people are waiting to see that there is a light in the dark tunnel for them in the obama administration. what is the future of many of them leaving, so what you think for them what their future. >> it's hard to speak to the future because it administration who will set their own agenda a push through the priorities they have it done if i. president obama recognize their support and opportunity for us to reform a broken immigration system. we did work to develop a proposal supported by a number of republicans in the united states senate that would bring people out of the shadows and prevent people from taking advantage of them because their status and also a

white house? and then that kind of evolves into why are they calling the white house? >> reporter: when they ask callers answer. >> reporter: even though they knew you were not the white house? >> some are really mad. >> regarding the proposed secretary of education. >> she says she was calling about the affordable care act. [phone ringing ] >> it's not that bad. i'm getting to meet a lot of nice people on the phone. >> would you like me to give co >> i can only surmise they need to vent. people want to be heard. that's our nature. to know someone is listening and cares. >> reporter: they will listen but not debate. >> we don't want to be partisan. >> reporter: after all, republicans and democrats may not agree on the issues, but they can agree on being hungry. >> if you're ever in dc, you should come eat at my restaurant. >> it's worth repeating, the number to the 456-1111. >> not 457. hopefully that got them decent business. at least one or two customers. >> they are very informed. if you would like to know about the affordable care act. >>> we had a number close to

tonight, the white house says he stands by it. president trump inviting congressional leaders over to the white house last night, and then talking about the election. saying he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton because of millions of illegal votes, but there has never been proof of that. so today at the white house, our team pressing the trump administration saying, show us the evidence. a sharp response tonight including members of the president's own party. abc's cecilia vega leading us off from the white house. >> reporter: that stunning admission from the white house today, the president of the united states still believes there was massive voter fraud in the election he won. does the president believe that millions voted illegally in this election, and what evidence do you have of widespread voter fraud in this election if that's the case? >> the president does believe that, he's stated that before i think he's stated his concern of voter fraud and people voting illegally in the campaign. he continues to maintain that

i had conversations in the white house. i do not want to mention names right now with people telling them that this was going to fail. i published five memos warning them about the failure of the research. and here we are today with russia hacking. >> jenna: are you sure you do not want to mention the names? >> i am sure. >> jenna: a quick follow-up on that. but the sanctions is something that is getting a lot of press today because donald trump gave an interview and really talked a lot about what is happening in europe, and our viewers may not realize that there were sanctions imposed on russia because of the annexation of crimea that has been extended, they were extended into this year. he earned donald trump in this review just recently said that he was going to take them under advisement. in generalizing, but he was not sure if he was going to continue them because he wanted to continue negotiations a little bit. what do you make of that, ariel cohen? >> i think he is walking into a very, very difficult political landsc

joining us from the white house is white house correspondent peter alexander. what is the white house saying about this? >> under different circumstance would y without the fire hose of news this would get more coverage. the last 24 hours we have heard from republican jewish groups and their coalition is not exactly fuming. they know what is in the heart of president trump he understands the suffering of 6 million jews suffering back then but describes it as an unfortunate admission. holocaust remembrance day is a remembrance and presidents referring to the suffering of the jewish people and it appeared to be just a mistake by the white house but then white house aides is insisted it was intentional. they say they basically are an inclusive group and they were trying to include all of those affected by the suffering during the holocaust. here is how reince priebus, the chief of staff, described it. hardly apologetic. >> everybody's heart here is impacted by the terrible memory of that time. so, for the record, that is the case -- >> we don't mean ill will to an

the white house and the media. here's what the president said this week. >> a big portion of the media, the dishonesty, the total deceit and deception makes them certainly partially the opposition party, absolutely. chris: and, dana, as i discussed with kellyanne conway and steve bannon in an interview with "the new york times" went a lot further. keep our mouths shut, zero integrity, zero intelligence. does this make sense from the white house's point of view? >> well, it does because i think they have effectively used the media against the democrats, right in so they were able to say to their base we have an enemy in the media, and the base agreed, and so it helps them a little bit. but i do think that -- so steve bannon's quote is very quotable, and i can understand why a journalist would be offended by it. but the second part of it was just give us a shot here. and i think what kellyanne said about the underreporting of some of the good policies they're doing, i've done media relations for a long time as a repu

is there going to be a grown up in the white house? is there room for a grown up in the white house? you mentioned this is day four. do you realize how much stuff this white house is doing? zit a packed agenda. >> it is a packed agenda and yet what we're talking about is is this an administration we will ever be able to believe about anything? there's a reason why you take care of your credibility, because there will be a time when it will matter that the president of the united states' word be believed. and they are squandering this. they are not on stepping on and destroying their own agenda, this is a week in which he is fulfilling many of his central campaign promises and yet what are they doing? this is completely self-inflicted. he won the election. why are we even talking about this unless you have this white house that's completely out of control. it's not steve bannon. it donald trump. would donald trump listen to david gergen? does he listen to anyone? >> michael, put on your veteran of a white house staff hat. what jumps out

an extraordinary move from the white house. president trump fires his acting attorney general after she refused to cooperate with his travel ban. who is in charge now and how will it effect the executive order? >>> a major distraction hours before the president is set to make first nomination to the u.s. supreme court. will the battle over attorney general effect the nomination to the high court? so many questions this morning. a lot happening. good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm george howell. >> i'm christine romans. it is tuesday, january 31st. 4:00 a.m. in the east. it is hard to overstate the nature of the rapid developments we saw in washington overnight. in a move that evokes president nixon's mass firings in 1973, the trump administration creating a level of chaos after a week and a half on the job. a new acting attorney general has been sworn in to replace the old acting ag sally yates after she did not defend the travel ban in court. the u.s. attorney for eastern virginia, dana boente took the oath and quickly

the white house walks back donald trump's pledge to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem saying no decisions have been made and it doesn't rule out joint action with russia against isis. >>> nomination fight. the grillings continue but the president is closer to getting his national security team confirmed. we're awaiting a senate vote on the pick to head the cia. and marco rubio and other republicans roll over. they're dropping their opposition to the secretary of state nominee. >>> and alternative facts. after a bruising weekend lecture to the news media focused on the size of the inaugural crowd and full of misstatements, the white house press secretary holds his first briefing, vows not to low and answers dozens of questions from reporters. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking news. president trump gets down to work on his agenda, turning campaign rhetoric into reality. with the stroke of the pen, he pulls the united states out of the trans-pacific partnership, a trade deal inhe

house grounds. >> steve rochan was the first white house chief usher in charge of the white house move from president george w. bush to barack obama. he remembers asking incoming first lady michelle obama how she wanted the house decorated. >> in the case of the obamas, they had two precious girls that wanted a girly type room. >> that requires all hands on deck to race against the clock. they have only six hours to transform the 132-room mansion into the new first family's home. movers carry furniture into and out of the white house. the dining rooms are decorated and set up and the kitchen staff cooks up an inaugural snack, something to help get through the late nights. and the oval office gets a sprucing up as well. new paintings on the wall, the carpet and deck are cleaned. no detail is ever too small. >> the new president wanted a special showerhead. and so we had to scramble to make sure we had the perfect shower head for president obama. >> we do not know yet what changes the trump family are requesting, but used to a penthouse on pennsylvania avenue, we can only imagine an opul

i have spoken for two white houses. that has never, ever been the case. >> i may be a little old fashioned. but i actually believe if you live and work in our house and you work on our payroll, and you take oaths, then integrity matters in this. >> sure. >> what we always see with spin is the three sisters of spin. miss represent, miss lead, and miss stays. what we're seeing now is mr. lie. mr. lying in the course of this. what you heard from donald trump and you have heard this all the way up until he's president. now you're hearing it as president. and from sean spicer. are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? what they should have said yesterday is, thomas jefferson said, the highest form of patriotism is dissent. what we saw with the protesters is what makes mek america great. peaceful protests. it would have totally deflated the issue. >> it would have given them legitimacy. he doesn't want to do that. we're in a real bind here. because we really do need to call out untruths. absolutely. but we also can't le

the white house will see the obamas welcome the trumps at the white house. we'll see all of that live. then they'll head inside for tea, coffee and conversation before the official handover of power. good morning, i'm anderson cooper overlooking the national mall here in washington, d.c. what a view it is. all morning long we have seen thousands and thousands of people lining up through security in order to get a great spot so they can witness this historic day. i'm here with the panel, michael smerconish, malik anderson, kate anderson bauer, dougly brinkley, all joining me. david axelrod, you know what it's like to be a president o n this day where their whole life changes. eric trump was asked what is the biggest fear for his dad. he said i think having a lot of new people around him. we've always been a little understand lar. that is the new reality for donald trump. >> that is. the most important thing, and president obama said this the other day, you can't do this alone. you to be reliant onners. that's not the way donald trump has structured his life t

but this is the white house. and facts that come out of the white house aren't just viewed by local press and the u.s., but they are studied by governments and world leaders all around the world. so the implications of an alternative fact white house or a post fact world you say are going to play very much into the foundations of how this white house does business. >> absolutely. i would say the apt comparison is when china releases new gdp numbers, our press doesn't report china's gdp grew 10% this quarter. we say china's government claim their government grew 10% this quarter and economists say otherwise. we're unfortunately going to have to do a heck of a lot of that over the next four years, otherwise the tail is going to be wagging the dog and people are going to having to be constantly report and retract when trump, spicer and conway come out and state falsehoods. >> these conversations that we're having, and you talk about cnn and "the new york times," this is certainly be watched this argument around the

across the street from the white house this morning. take a look, it is still dark but you can actually barely see the white house because of a huge grandstand that was built for this inauguration parade. you can see that right there is the the pavilion if you will, with the president's seal right at the front.you have a lot of seating here, were soon to be president donald trump will watch the rest of the parade once he is done with it, once he goes through it, with his family, closest friends, and of course the new trump administration. and you can see down below pennsylvania avenue, all set up for the parade, a lot of the bunting and secret service walking around right now. we had to go through several layers of security to get to this point here. you have all of the bleachers for the ticketed guest that will be part of the historic parade, and we understand that the parade starts at 3:00, soon to be president trump will be here at the white house sometime between 4:00 and 5:00, and that he will take his seats with his family to watc

the white house just one last time. on his way out of the city. jamelle bouie, eight years, first african american president, what is the meaning of the obama years? >> that's a big question. i think there are a lot of different meanings for the obama years, want to focus on right now, it's just extent to which, obama really did capture the hopes and optimism of many americans and specifically african americans who never saw something like that was possib possible. and who jealously guarded that in 2012, turned out specifically to make sure that obama would stay in office. i think that is something you cannot he erase in talking to democratic voters over the last month or so. talking specifically to voters over the last month or so there's been recurring theme which is -- regardless of what happened with trump, regardless of the policies that get repealed or whatever you can't take what obama meant to us away from us. >> michael gerson, final thoughts on the donald trump presidency as we see him stan standing there with

, former white house chief usher. he talks about the work of the white house staff behind the scenes between the election of a new president and inauguration day. this is about 30 minutes. former whiters, house chief usher. when did you begin to think about the events that were going to unfold on january 20 with the inauguration of a new president? to begin a: we had year and a half before that because of the budget issues. we have to prepare for the possibility of a change in administration, even with the sitting president. our procedures began down the additionalutting money and for inaugural activities which includes things like packing up one family, getting ready to receive a new family, and the overtime associated with that. so we begin a year and a half early for the budget cycle. went to the next summer, gathering information as each of the candidates again to announce they will be running. we started to gather information that we could gain on the media, whether it be television or newspapers or magazines and

and right behind it is the white house. and take this video inside the white house. an almost eerie quality we saw late last evening. the photos posted by "the washington post." they give you a sense of the staff moving out. iconic photographs by the obamas coming off of the walls. notes left by aides for their successors. it's tradition that the 44th president would leave a handwritten note for the 45th. and president obama will do that, as well. he has posted a letter he has written to americans. he wrote, in part, because all that i have learned in my time in office, i learned from you. you made me a better president and you made me a better man. a short distance from where where we're standing is the blair house, the president's guest house. that's reserved for the president-elect and his family. he leaves there and heads to the events. the first one being the church of the presidents. when he leaves the blair house, he will sign his name in the guest book. the last time he will sign it without president before his name. matt, back to wyou. >> peter, thanks very

the white house casting this as a day of action. it started with the president meeting with a number of ceos, from dell, lockheed martin, just to name a few. and vowing he was going to decrease regulations by 75%, that he would lower taxes on middle class americans and that would slap new taxes on companies that tried to outsource jobs. take a listen to a little bit of what he had to say today. >> if you go to another country and you decide you're going to close and get rid of 2,000 people or 5,000 people, if that happens, we are going to be imposing a very major border tax on the product when it comes in, which think is fair. >> reporter: a strong warning to u.s. companies and a short while ago the president signing three executive orders, chris, in the headline he announced his intention to withdraw from tpp the huge multinational trade deal, we covered it under the obama administration. this is something that never was approved by congress, so ultimately president trump does have the authority to pull out of that deal and i'm tol

that's what we are seeing in this white house right now. i guarantee you, we are going to see more -- more methodical and thought out implementation going forward. but i agree with you. that the fight works for them politically. >> he is doing. he is still campaigning. i think that's the thing that is troubling. he is still, he is playing politics, not policy. he is not doing what he said he wanted to do which is uf night the country. let's not forget -- these pro fe protests are unprecedented. we have never seen americans take to the streets. take to the airports. in the kind of numbers that we are seeing. never really in our history. >> you saw the video we played. >> the video we played in pennsylvania. that video, that we just played of pennsylvania. sort of middle america, working class, white voters who elected donald trump. how do those protests play for them? >> it doesn't matter. >> it does matter. >> it matters greatly. >> it doesn't matter to donald trump. it doesn't matter to steve bannon. it matters to america. if you want to b

her last official white house event. she says, being first lady has been the greatest honor of her life. keep telling me "drink more water." "exercise more." i know that. "try laxatives..." i know. believe me. it's like i've. tried. everything! my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know that. tell me something i don't know. (vo) linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk t

don mccann is white house counsel. your joins different. >> you are sitting in an office which i have yet to decorate. but i'm sure my kids will start hanging things on the wall soon. this office was occupied by valerie jared. and before her karl rove and first lady hillary rodham clinton. she famously had an office in the west wing. judge jeanine: the significance is you are very close to the oval office. >> more importantly i am close to the president it's a floor below. i can get there in 12 minutes. i can get there in 12 seconds. i have done it in 3 1/2 inch heels. judge jeanine: let's talk personal. first time you came in, did you go, oh, my god, this is so historical? >> you do feel the gravity and the enormity, but also the humility that comes with this. i was raised by a single mom in a wonderful house of italian women. i think that it's the american dream large in many ways. but donald trump's ascendancy to the presidency is the american dream. people have been saying we want somebody who last is not politicia

abc's chief white house correspondent, jonathan karl, at the white house. >> reporter: mexico may insist it's not going to happen, but today donald trump was as defiant as ever. >> i've said many times that the american people will not pay for the wall. and i have made that clear to the government of mexico. >> reporter: this only 24 hours after the president signed his order to begin the process of building the border wall with american money. something the president described to david as basically a down payment. >> we will be in a form, reimbursed by mexico. >> they will pay us back? >> yeah, absolutely. 100%. >> reporter: just hours after that interview, mexican president pena nieto shot back. in an address to the american people, "i've said it once and again," he said. "mexico will not pay for any wall." adding, "mexico offers and demands respect as the sovereign nation we are." since day one of his campaign, trump's relationship with mexico has been rocky. >> who is going to pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> 100%. >> reporter: still, he traveled there to meet with pena nieto last yea

how important is this to the white house? kevin: very important, not only with a part trade perspective but also because it comes a day after where there was a political hick up with regards to next weeks now canceled meeting with the mexican president. in regards to march for life, vice president pence will be there as well as kellyanne conway. we hear that president trump will somehow deliver some kind of remarks, not attending, but maybe through a telephone call or something. with regard to trade at the white house, senior advisers i speak with our all signaling that this is about trade, about not only project to the u.k. but also to global world leaders that this is a president who wants to personally negotiate in terms of those bilateral trade agreements. vonnie: we should mention, this is a march that happens traditionally and presidents in the past have called in. tomorrow, we know from sean spicer the president will be speaking with vladimir putin, angela merkel, and france wall hollande.cois kevin: it is interesting

with a democrat. >> julie waco it's is a white house reporter for the associated press, and large white house reporting team as the ap always has. >> we had ten reporters at the start of the obama administration and nine reporters at the start of the trump administration. we will be covering the field, hopefully. a lot of different people circulating out of the white house or executive office building as it may be. still deciding precisely where to put the press. >> there's always a challenge -- oh, look at this. let's listen. looks like we have action here. looks like we are about to see the president. >> i think you are right. [cheering and applauding] it is no macy's parade, but we do have donald trump now and the whole family. good to see the kid out too, right? >> there they are. so, it looks like he is in front as he gets out and starting to walk. >> this is the spot "the wall street journal" reported many more protesters than supporters. let's see if that is true, let's listen. he is very proud of that hotel. they have a management contract. >> the general services. >> one of the
