because the central mechanism is in the white house, it tends to be chaired by, by the nsc. so even in the obama administration where initially there was, in the, what was it called, psd-1, first memorandum by the president laid out the interagency process, there was thought being given at state department, either chairing or co-chairing some of the regional ipcs. that has never happened, pretty much abandoned early on. for one simple reason. the assistant secretaries who were supposed to chair the meetings are actually confirmed until six, seven months into an administration. so somebody has to do the job and the person and nsc will be there on day one, they don't have to be confirmed assuming they have been appointed that will be there on day one. so those are the big decisions that you make. for every administration the question is, do we have the same process or do we have a different process of interagency management? i would suggest that that's one part that does not need reform. it can work. there is question how many meetings you do and how frequently they are and how you ru

the white house on stay one. >> don't be so dramatic, chuck. he gave alternative facts to that. >> alternative facts? alternative facts are not facts. they are falsehoods. >> sean spicer set to give his first official briefing at 1:30. he will take questions today. when he came out on saturday, he did not take questions. >> that was a lecture. we will watch that today. kellyanne conway made more news overnight when she walked back earlier remarks about the tax returns. conway said president trump will never release his tax documents. conway told abc news the issue was litigated through the election. last night, returning to the campaign's earlier position that mr. trump is under audit and has been advised by lawyers not to release. what she did not say is if he will release the documents if finished. >>> and in a few hours, the president will be hit with the lawsuit. the group for ethics responsibility in washington is filing a suit that claims every time one of the president's businesses accepts payments from foreign governments, it violates part of the constitution. the c.r.e

now we are about a block and a half away from the white house entering mccphersen square. we have had some arrests, police injuries, at least two police officers were injured. and numerous arrests have been made. chris. >> okay. brian, thank you for all of that. we're watching it in a split screen right now. now look, it's a very emotional day in dc, we have seen it since you and i have arrived. people are very excited about this idea of the new president and other people are angry, and when they clash, you can see this happens, rene marsh is in the middle of it. rene tell us what you are seeing. >> reporter: it's very unsettling in the sense that people are moving in multiple directions. we had a situation of people throwing bottles and rocks at police officers. it came to a point where they were "face to face" where they were at the intersection of kay and 12th street and police moved in and stay started to use pepper spray, despite that people continue to throw literally large chunks of rocks at police officers and of course that set off what was already a large crowd of people

president's remarks, we will open up our phone lines and take your comments. , white house press secretary press secretary john spicer joins a panel of journalists that cover the white house to discuss media coverage of president trump. the george washington university hosted this two-hour event. >> good evening everybody. the schoolrector of of media and public affairs. as barbara porter and i like to say, i am a recovering journalist. i would like to thank you all for being here. at a remarkable moment in our history. and for a conversation i hope is instructive to you, to our theents, and throughout university to those of you who are journalists and to the country because we have c-span and facebook live and a number of other media here. i think we will benefit from hearing from the new white house secretary at a time of some drama. thoseso from hearing from who are journalists a signed to the white house who go there to fromeir job every day and ari fleischer, a former white house press secretary. in the room, it's c-span, broadcasting this this evening. and gw facebook live.

-- >> reporter: that tight dad/daughter bond with rumors that move to the white house right away -- >> his wife and son are expected to stay in new york until next spring. >> reporter: has fueled rumors about ivanka's role. >> that you will be the first lady. >> there is one first lady, and melania will be an incredible first lady. i'm proud of her. he is intelligent, warm, caring and a remarkable first person. >> will you have an office in the east wing? >> my focus is moving to washington, traveling around the country and listening and getting great feedback on how i can add positive value. >> reporter: she says she is still figuring out her role, but it's clear jared, her husband of seven years, will be a key player. like his wife, jared knows a life of privilege. a harvard grad, he too comes from a family who made a fortune even more than the trumps. the kushners are an orthodox jewish family. she converted. >> a lot of people don't know your husband. he is the mystery guy in the background. >> he is a remarkable human being. he is kind and thoughtful. i feel in a lot of ways we got ma

, we are -- it's going to be quite a while. it's 1.8 miles. we watched him go from the white house to the capitol hours ago. sworn in and now making the journey back to the white house. he'll get about a ten minute break before enjoying the rest of the parade. this parade can run for hours. at this rate it's going to be a long one. >> jon karl? >> reporter: we're about five, six blocks away from the trump international hotel. i am now told definitively that donald trump is in the backseat of the limousine with melania just to make that clear. this route is filled with history, all the presidents that have come down here. we'll be passing as we mentioned the trump international hotel. i can see the tower, of course, it's the old post office building. down a little further on the other side of the street is the willard hotel which is the hotel abraham lincoln stayed in for several days before he was inaugurated in and moved into the white house as the 16th president. you know, we're passing the canadian embassy over here. the museum. this is the street that connects the center of power

, we saw tired white house staffers lugging boxes of their personal will belongs out of the building much like today. and on the tour, i smiled for a photo that a friend took of me standing behind this very podium. i had been in d.c. for a brand total of two weeks. i had no contacts. i had no job prospects, i had no relative washington experience. i was sleeping on the floor of a college buddy's apartment that had a spare bedroom and by spare i don't just mean it was an extra bedroom. it was an empty bedroom containing only the items that i managed to load into my car when i moved here from texas. so it's fair to say that there weren't too many other people on the tour that night who thought i would stand here in front of you as something other than a tourist. so it's been an extraordinary journey and this has been a extraordinary chapter. this is the 344th white house daily briefing. not every briefing started exactly on time. there might have been a briefing or two that went a little longer than you would have preferred but you have to admit there was lots to discuss. we had plenty

first family is inside the white house right now freshening up or doing what they have to do and maybe getting their first look. >> jumping on the beds. >> at least the grand kids might be. >> this is their house. >> checking the wet paint and see if it's really wet. >> they live now there. >> they usually slide down the banister. >> because they can. so there's a lot to take in there. to the extent they have visited the white house, they haven't really had a chance to get a full tour, have they? to really understand the workings of the place? >> yes. i mean, mrs. trump was there and saw mrs. obama and i'm sure was shown around, but not in the way that you do when you take possession and you can look everywhere. >> not that trip where you come in with the swactches. >> there is the reviewing stand. behind grass. little warmer than the crowd outside. the first family will join there in just a bit and review as the parade comes by. and then of course it won't be finished after the parade. there is a night of more celebrations, the inaugural balls. >> although only two this time as

because the central mechanism is in the white house intends to be chaired by the nfc. even in the obama administration were initially there is the first memorandum by the president laid out the interagency process there's some thought being given at the state department of chairing or cochairing some of the regional ipc's, that is never happened. it was pretty much abandoned early on. for one simple reason. assistant secretaries are supposed to cheer these meetings are not confirmed until six or seven months into the administration. somebody has to do the job and the nfc will be there on day one because they don't have to be confirmed assuming they are appointed. those of the big decisions that you make. this is for every administration the question is, do we have the same process or a different process? i would suggest that is one part that does not need reform, it can work but there's a question about how many meetings you do and how frequent is less a process or organizational for more process question. and then the larger issue which we will get into later, what what is the co

. until then a conversation with incoming white house press secretary sean spicer. >> incoming white house press secretary sean spicer, how are you preparing to take on this job? >> it is an ongoing process, we have been doing it at 10:30 every day, hiding behind a phone when you do it but part of it is getting used to the battle of taking questions, rapidfire, wide range that exists in practice sessions, something my predecessors suggested, sitting down at a podium, let's pretend reporters ask you real questions to understand what is about to come your way on a daily basis but making sure you look at some hot button issues, sit down with key players who will play key roles in the administration and get a better understanding of the issues and getting used to taking the incoming questions the way they do at the podium. >> josh ernest, white house press secretary. any advice, anything you -- touring the office in the briefing room and the west wing. >> the communications director, unbelievably generous with their time and counsel. they share with me the challenges they face and the id

white house who are just tearing their hair out right now by the way in which this story is stepping on the president's agenda. >> michael waldman, some background to fill in for you. you are a veteran of the clinton white house staff, the speech writing shop there. the brennan center is named and set up in the memory of the great justice brennan. eisenhower always called him the biggest surprise of his presidency. but you guys among other things study voter fraud. if you knew of 50,000, 10,000, 5,000 cases, i assume you would have long ago gotten up on your soap box and waved your arms and told us about this. >> our study and every study by every scholar and news media and everybody who's looked at it has found that you are more likely in this country to be hit by lightning than to hit in-person voter impersonation. the idea that 3 to 5 million people were illegally voting two months ago and nobody noticed is transapparently ludicrous. this is not nearly as silly as who had more people on the mall over the weekend. this is the highest official in the land, someone sworn to uphold the c

1961, here's dwight eisenhower thanking thanking tht the white house. at the same time the incoming president, that year john f. kennedy and with wife, jacqueline, they're leaving the blair house, getting ready for the big day. another thing that takes place on inauguration morning -- this will happen again -- is a religious service. when i was in washington with my wife a few years other, just a half block from where we were staying there was this church called the first ame church, a traditional african-american church, and that's where the service was held for the first black president, bill clinton. now, have a little map here for you. things start at the white house and move along pennsylvania avenue, toward the capital, which is on the right there. and there's a traditional coffee at the white house that takes place, and it's a big deal on the days when there's a transition from one president to another. again, 1961, and that was the year when a lot of this pike temperatures were made available. you don't normally see these puck toads. eisenhower and kennedy together and at th

there aren't circumstances -- >> we leave here to go live to the white house briefing room. president obama is expected to address the media for likely the last time from the briefing room. >> i don't actually have any announcement, but because today marks my last briefing, i hope you will indulge me. a couple personal thoughts before i go to your questions. as i prepared to stand here at this podium for the last time, i thought a lot about the first time. it was 16 years ago this week, it was january 2001. i had just moved to washington d.c. and i got on a west wing to her with a friend of a friend. we walked through the halls of the west wing on that tour. we saw tired white house staffers lugging boxes of their personal belongings out of the building much like people on tours will see today. on the tour, i smiled for a photo of a person standing behind this very podium. i had been in d.c. for two weeks. i had no contacts, no job prospects, i had no relevant washington experience, i was sleeping on the floor of the college buddies apartment that had a spare bedroom, and b

trumps take washington, occupying the white house and the work begins. we have every moment covered. "nightly news" begins right now. >> announcer: the inauguration of donald trump. this is "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. reporting tonight from washington. >> good evening on this historic night in washington, donald j. trump, the brash 70-year-old new york real estate titan turned reality tv star is now the 45th president of the united states. the oath of the office was administereded just after noon, marking the end of the obama era and the start of the trump era with an inaugural address to the nation filled with vows that sounded a lot like the candidate we saw on the campaign trail. the entire trump family celebrating at the parade along pennsylvania avenue. before heading into the white house. getting ready for tonight's inaugural balls. all of it part of a day perhaps even the new president himself didn't foresee when his improbable run began. >> i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear -- >> donald trump's path to the presidency might be the most unusual and unorthodox we

moves and keeping his promises. "hannity" will take you inside the trump white house, we have exclusive access. we will interview kellyanne conway from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. plus... >> i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white hou white house. >> i am a nasty woman. >> sean: celebrity snowflakes have a collective meltdown this weekend over president trump. laura ingraham will weigh in on all this liberal lunacy. all of that plus senator mike lee will join us. "hannity" starts from washington, right here right n now. welcome to "hannity." we are coming to you from washington, d.c., where we have been given exclusive access inside president donald trump's white house. we will have my interview with counsel to the president, kellyanne conway, that's coming up in just a few minutes. it is only day four of the trump administration, commander-in-chief is already launching a shock in all campaign against the establishment and that is tonight's opening monologue. president trump, he's not wasting any time on enacting his agenda. as he promised on the campaign trail and said in

-span. the white house historical association as many of you know was founded by first lady jacqueline kennedy 56 years ago who at the ripe old age of 32 years old had the foresight and the wisdom to know that the white house would need a private partner to come alongside her and every first lady since to provide private resources for the conservation, preservation and restoration of those beautiful state floors at the white house, to acquire art and furnishings for the white house collection and we're doing something today, that's to have an education program to teach sell the stories of white house history offer the past 261 years. so, this is a key part of our mission and our education program and today we're honored to have with us dr. ronald c white, who is the author of three best selling books on abraham lincoln. dr. white is himself no stranger to the white house having lectured there, but today we're across the street here in decatur house and this historic home is actually something that i think dr. white may tell us a little about. as i mentioned earlier, grant hi

his speech himself. —— inaugural lectin. they are sat in the white house as part of the tradition, they have had their church service, it is the last time that michelle and barack obama will be in their home of the last eight years before accompanying donald trump to the battle, where you are now, for the services. —— to the capitol building. what do you think barack obama is passing on to his successor now? wouldn't you love to know! ? wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in that conversation... never before has an incoming president had such a different personality and political agenda than an outgoing president. you will remember barack obama thrust himself into the midst of this campaign, so too did michelle obama in an emotionally powerful way. both said that donald trump was tempering —— temperamentally. this is not how barack obama —— temperamentally. this is not how ba rack obama wanted —— temperamentally. this is not how barack obama wanted to end his presidency, handed over to somebody who has vowed to dismantle and demolish his signature achievement

. the white house is defending the president's baseless claims. and tv legend actress mary tyler moore has died. she was a pioneer for women in television all at the same time. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you are in the situation room. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> may be ready to engage in a political fight. in a new tv interview trump says he believes outlawed methods like waterboarding absolutely work even though many dispute that. the president went on to say he will listen to what cabinet secretaries have to say. trump's first steps to overall u.s. immigration policy. one ordering the immediate construction of trump's promise and controversial wall on the southern border. the new action does not cover the cost of the wall or repeated claim that mexico will eventually pay for it. if the president acts on campaign agenda he has created a serious new distraction and calling for a major investigation into allegations that millions of illegal votes were cast in november costing him the popular vote. this hour we may hea

obama's will welcome the trumps to the white house for coffee and tea reception, then all for will make their way together to capitol hill with the inauguration cere suzanne kennedy is picking up our coverage alive this morning.suzanne? >> well, we are here at second street in washington avenue southwest, where all of the orange ticketholders will be getting it at about 6:00 this morning, those who are at least one the arena. you can see there is a bond that is formed already here, maybe about 50 people in line, i'm surprised that there are more. if you walk over with me, these are the first two people got online, this is jonathan and edward, talking first with jonathan, you can all the way from knoxville tennessee? >> knoxville tennessee, yes. >> talked to me about why you wanted to be here today. >> well, just part of the pageantry, excitement, watching the peaceful transition of power between two governments. >> you are saying that you are not a trump supporter, but you wanted to attend? >> yes, after went over to north carolina and it's an canvassing type work for hillary clint

brady press briefing room here in the white house. carol? >> athena jones reporting live from the white house, thanks so much. we'll bring back christine, and also ron brownstein, and patricia murphy is also here. christine, i want to go back to you for just a second. mr. trump, president trump said this morning that he plans to cut 75% of regulations, right? he said that he'll provide massive tax breaks to companies if they build factories within the united states. and he also said that if companies move their factories to other countries, he will fine them, in essence, by imposing tariffs on their products. so in the end, when all is said and done, if all of that is accomplished, and that's a big "if," right, what will that mean to american taxpayers? >> i think a lot of people are concerned there could be higher prices for american consumers, especially if you get into a situation where different countries are slapping 35% tariffs on different goods. that's one thing. the other part of it is in this discussion about tax reform, if you take the companies' share of what they put into t

already has stopped by arlington this morning to lay a wreath there when she comes to the white house, she and the president will meet, hold a press conference together. take questions from the press and also have a working lunch. this will allow them to talk about potential trade deals going forward. senior advisers say they have a common ground on how they came into office on sort of a wave of dissent from the people, kind of breaking tlul the political norms. this is just the beginning of what is going to be a very busy day for donald trump. we're also expecting him to head to the pentagon later today where he may sign additional executive orders. it's also an opportunity for him to meet with his secretary of defense james mattis and lay out some objectives for how he wants to defeat isis. he will dip his toe back into diplomacy tomorrow. donald trump is expected to have a phone call with russian president vladimir putin. obviously this is a much rockier relationship than the one the u.s. enjoys with britain. take a listen to how donald trump described what he knows about putin and what

trump's defense accusing the obama white house of trying to undermine mr. trump and stating that individuals who created that 35-page dossier of unverified allegations against trump were "worse than postfutures." putin's comments come in the midst of a public battle between trump and cia director john brennan over who leaked that dossier and one week after trump told reporters he considered the russian president viewing him favorably as an asset not a liability. joining me is kristen welker outside trump tower and bill neely in moscow. donald trump saying on twitter he's going to keep his twitter account and continuing to escalate the feud with the cia, the intelligence agencies, specifically director brennan and other leaders and also the workforce by implication and also with the obama white house, what started so smoothly is certainly going off the tracks. >> reporter: that's right, andrea. this is an issue that continues to get under his skin, questioning the results of the election and so you continue to have mounting tensions between the president-elect and the intelligence

said what does that mean for those in the hiring process or a tenant offer in hand? the white house memorandum said no vacant positions can be filled as of january 22nd. there's exceptions in the future, whether it applies to people who currently have offers? we don't know. teresa said you know what a government hiring freeze means? more contractors. not necessarily. the white house said they will not allow any contracting outside of the government to get around the freeze. finally, some said they support the plan because you believe it will make things more efficient. it's certainly possible that could happen, but this 35-year- old government accountability office suggests otherwise, examining several hiring freezes during the two administrations that did it. >>> barbara comestock said she doesn't support it, but corey stewart said he believes it is probably a good idea. guys? >> the white house press secretary held his first official briefing with the white house press core. >> tone was cordial, in sharp contrast to saturday when spicer criticized the media for its coverage of the inaugurati

>>> tonight, president trump doubles down. the white house says the president still believes billions of illegal voters is the reason he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton. our correspondent presses the white house today. what evidence do they have to support this? tonight, one key republican saying he is now, quote, begging the president to stop. >>> also tonight, the president's new orders. pushing ahead with construction of the controversial keystone and dakota pipelines, and he'll name his pick for the supreme court. what we have learned about a contender. >>> high winds and the winter blast tonight in the midwest. >>> the health scare. the governor of minnesota collapsing during a state of the state address. there is news coming in tonight about his condition. >>> and the collision on the tracks. the fedex truck and the train with passengers on board. the warning system on the tracks failing. >>> good evening, and it's great to have you with us here on a tuesday night, and we begin with the day of controversy within the trump white house over a claim made once agai

fired, after she questions the legality of his travel ban from mostly muslim nations. the white house insists it's not a ban, but that's the word used by both the president and his press secretary. uphill fight, every democrat is digging their heels in the confirmation of the attorney general nominee and they've boycotted committee votes for other presidential picks. can they stage a battle over the supreme court nominee? do they have any room left to maneuver? and trump's brain, his white house strategist steve bannon, the former boss of a right wing website, the most influential voice in the president's ear. has he put a stamp on the controversial early moves? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> we're following multiple news stories under fire from all sides. the white house is defending its temporary ban on travel from seven mostly muslim nations including an indefinite haul to refugees entering the united states from syria. president trump's order has brought chaos and condemnation when the acting attorney general publicly question

minutes, the president will be departing the white house to visit the department of homeland security. as i mentioned come he will attend the swearing in of secretary kelly . he will be briefed by fema on the storm relief efforts in the southeast and conduct business to keep our nation safe. secretary kelly enlisted in the marine corps in 1970. he has a sincere commitment to fighting the threat of terrorism inside of our country and ending the dangerous flow of illegal immigrants to our borders. the president is looking forward to working with secretary kelly to implement his plans to restore our borders and protect our country. for everyone keeping score at home, this brings us up to four total confirmations of our cabinet level appointees. as a reminder, the obama administration had 12 done at the end of their first week. needless to say, we think senate democrats should continue to spend some quality time getting our nominations moved out of the senate. this afternoon, the president will have his final event, public event anyway, by speaking on the phone with mississippi governor bryan

>>> breaking overnight. 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 rescinded yates' order. m

their voice heard, chanting different messages hoping that the white house will listen to them and perhaps change course. that maybe a tall order given what we heard from president trump this is a chance to try to show some unity and to try to show willingness to galvanize around issues. so many democrats were poised to fight nominee where they could or slow the nomination down. this issue has given democrats are way to speak out about things relating to travel restrr restrirks and signs that deal with the wall. supreme court upholding the freedom to assemble and freedom to speak. we have not seen the members of congress or senators yet. they are expected to do but the numberch people who just came out to be a part of it seemed to be more than i expected. >> is there any members of the republican party senate house there or expected to be there. two, whose going to be speaking in you know? chuck schumer top democrat and nancy nancy pe loss -- the way the executive order was crafted how the roll out went the issues relating to permanent legal residents of the under the circumstances

rich edson reporting from the white house on a president who's charging full speed ahead. >> reporter: good morning, chris. the trump white house is halting immigration from several predominantly muslim countries, this as a judge has blocked the deportation of those detained at airports as a result of that order. the ruling falls short of letting those immigrants into the country, and in response to the ruling, the department of homeland security says in a statement, quote: the president's executive order remains in place. prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the u.s. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. and at the white house, president trump is responding to that criticism. >> it's not a muslim ban, but we are totally prepared, it's working out very nicely. you see it at the airports, all over, it's working out very nicely, and we're going to have a very, very strict ban, and we're going to have extreme vetting which we should have had in this country for many years. >> reporter: and the presidents has

, a conversation with andrew card, former white house chief of staff -- chief of staff for president bush. he talked about white house and west wing inauguration day activities, both practical and ceremonial. he shared his observations of past presidential transitions. this is about 20 minutes. >> having served three republican presidents, walk through the final 24 hours of the outgoing president. what is going through his mind? what is happening inside the white house? differencere is a between a president who leaves because he lost his bid for reelection and he leaves because the constitution prevents his reelection. i was a part of both. when president george h.w. bush and the white house welcomed president-elect clinton into the white house, it was very different because george h.w. bush really didn't want to leave. >> the mechanics inside the white house, what is going on? andrew: the white house is getting ready for the president. there is only one president at a time. they try to have that transition completed by noon time. they are usually little bit late, but they also start
