the competent in government is not in the white house it isn't. you can't have all the of the expert in the white house if you do you'll take all of the department that's where the expertise lie. it's true for everything. so the people that you want in the white house are the people who know where the expertise is. ask can bring it to bear in the decision-making process. if it you bring it into the white house then it become u.s. government, why bother. it's constant tension, belief only way to coordinate is to have expertise. that lends to growing staff. it's availability to think where in government is expertise how to bring it to bear in the decision-making process and let them implement it. the question that brent put it every morning when i wake up i look in the mirror say how can i have one less person. that's the right question. >> the question you raise is a basic dilemma of government. it depends on the nature of the issue if you predominantly -- if each issue with china is trade issues you give that issue to the economic people if they a

everything was moved to the white house. he took the oath on Ãi one of the balconies they are at the white house. so, you know fdr had for inauguration. this is my tribute for you for the day. you will be able to impress your friends. barack obama about to type franklin d roosevelt's record. how could that be you say? roosevelt was inaugurated four times. well, we already obama was inaugurated twice. the inauguration this year is on a sunday. will take the oath then, then the next day january 21 again. that is what happens when inauguration day falls on a sunday. here is eisenhower on january 20 1957 which was a sunday or a private ceremony. inaugural address this is a very old picture. this is from 1865. this is abraham lincoln's second inauguration. a very famous speech there in which he said with malice toward none, charity for all. and 1933 franklin d roosevelt, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. john f. kennedy in 1961. ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. then the

in the white house. -- anneke. when i left the white house, i took a pic of everything. george bush's little dog was a scottie dog. i walked around, leo —— realising i was leaving, and you cannot just walk leo —— realising i was leaving, and you cannotjust walk back in again. the obama daughters, a significant portion of their lives was spent growing up there. a playground that was donated to them, they have given that away to an organisation. each first family makes it their own and the staff that go in there with them really see themselves as a part of it. talk to us about what happens to the staff? they hand in their passes and that is it? there are a few people who stay through to the very end and the chief of staff is one of them. many have already left, they have packed up their offices. i would be surprised if anyone was still there, saving file, or printing documents. everyone has patched their things and are just waiting. when the obama is leave, they will film that. there will be staff there, in t

we have not heard anything from the white house on this yet. eric trump spoke out yesterday saying this is purely harassment for political gain. frankly, i find it very, very sad. >> what about the legal possibilities here? is a judge likely to let it go forward? >> reporter: the clause is not something you hear in federal court every day. there is a bit of a debate going on among legal experts on how it will apply in the context. some say that paying your hotel bill doesn't violate the constitution. others say this is exactly what the framers were getting at because they were woirried abou corruption infiltrating the u.s. government. the main issue is something called legal standing to come into federal court. you have to show you have been harmed or injured in some way. that would be a challenge for the plaintiffs. it appears the goal is to get the tax returns. something we heard about. that will be something to watch. >> this will be interesting to see over the coming days and weeks to be sure. laura jarrett, thank you. >>> all this caps a t

the white house press secretary sean spicer reacted today. these federal employees should, quote, either get with the program or they can go. what's your reaction to that? >> well, my initial reaction is unprintable. let me be professional for a moment. going back a few years after president bush declared we had mission accomplished in iraq. people warning that iraq was falling apart. the white house didn't want to hear the message. turned out to be an accurate message. my message for mr. spicer is if you don't want to hear -- i don't view the state department message as a protest. it's an effort to tell the white house these are complicated issues. we have a different perspective. one other message i have is personal, wolf. in the next four years fbi officers, cia officers and military officers will take a bullet as they did for president bush and president obama as a result of decisions that president trump makes. how about a little respect. that's all we ask here. they will do what you ask as long as you get out of your arrogant chair and

there's concern about how the trump white house handled it. it's an area that's worth pursuing of the i don't this will be bipartisan. expect it to be loud and get a lot of attention. especially after what was a bruising campaign season for them the trump white house is giving them something to rally around. >> thank you. k katelyn burns, karen, first to you, kelly talked about the found raising aspect of this. >> i think so. what we seen i think pretty much since the inauguration there seems to be this kind of culture of protests setting in for the trump presidency. i don't think we have seen anything like this. again it's early, we're only believe it or not, week three, it does seem like a permanent culture of protest that we have not seen since the vietnam war era. >> the march in washington and cities around the world. this other by president trump did come up fast, was it rushed out in your opinion? if so, why? >> there were agencies that did not seem to cult on. there's no evidence that homeland security consulted on. mattis is coming ou

the steps at the white house. we saw both the light and weariness in your eyes as you gazed at your new home. >> reporter: they were 10 and 7 years old when their father was elected president. >> the bush daughters with so nice to malia and sasha and showed them where their rooms might be and told them all the secrets of how life at the white house can be fun. >> reporter: they even taught them how to slide down the banister in the white house solarium. it is not the first emotional letter they have written to the obama sisters. sasha and malia, here is some advice to you from two sisters who have stood where you will stand and who have lived where you will live. that was january 20th, 2009, inauguration day. the relationship between the four girls continued as malia and sasha embraced their roles of first daughters, growing up in the white house while going on official trips with their parents all over the world. and it was jenna bush who quickly came to the defense of the obama sisters when a republican staffer

will we be able to trust what the white house spokesman and, therefore, the white house says going forward if they're going to disagree on facts as basic as crowd size? >> it looks like that may be the case. i mean, we've heard a lot of calculations and a lot of presentationings of crowd size, viewership, so forth. i think it really distracts from the central priorities at hand here with the new president. sean spicer was trying to get off that and move on. you could hear that that was not the case. >> i know you worked for a democratic president, but can you sympathize with this administration when they say, we feel all the coverage about us has a negative bent, it's always coming from a negative angle, never a you did a good job here but here's what you were doing wrong, here's what you should have done better. do you sympathize with them or do you think that this is just em making excuses? >> i think any administration feels from time to time they're not treated fairly by the press. democratic or republican. and i'm a strong believer in bipartisanship so hopefully i'm a bit more objecti

our chief white house correspondent, john roberts, is at the white house. >> the executive order from the white house from the president on down, sean spicer the latest to pick up the torch and carry it at the briefing saying the president's intent is only to protect the homeland from threats abroad. saying the countries, included in this initial portion of the ban, were the ones identify by the obama administration as being potential risks to this count trip. as you mentioned at the top, suggesting that president obama put a temporary pause or a slow down or refugees from iraq for a period of months. when you look deeply into the actual executive orders, there's some exceptions to the rule so the white house could defend that by saying we will let some people in defending on a special circumstance. not to dissuading the former president, obama obama weighing in on this. kevin lewis issuing a statement on his behalf saying "citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble and organize and have their voices heard" referring to the protests" is exactly what we expect to see wh

who was with us at the white house. you heard him there. president trump saying he has launched an investigation. >> reporter: in fact, i spoke with a senior administration official who tells me work has begun on a memorandum that could come as early as tomorrow with the president ordering either the department of homeland security or the department of justice to commence the investigation. it would primarily look into the voter roles and whether there are people registered to vote who died long ago or registered in multiple states. the other thing is i'm told this would be a big topic of discussion at the retreat he is going to with republicans in philadelphia, and he would like them to investigate, too. >> we asked the president about new reports tonight that the trump administration is thinking about bringing back the so-called cia black sites. prisons once used around the world. we asked the president about that, and about torture. after what he told me during one of the debates. >> mr. president, you told me during

specifically, the white house comment line. there's lots of options but lately >> regarding the proposed nomination for secretary of education. >> reporter: have nothing to do with the food >> we started noticing that there were all these different area codes. which honestly is not, that unusual, because of so many people that are here from other places, here, 818, it says california. can i help you? were you trying to reach the white house? hello? they hung up. said they had the wrong number >> co owner arlene wagner said in one day they gotten 50 to 60 calls from people trying to reach the white house comment line. started as soon as they opened >> they wanted to speak to the wh house. then kept coming in and sometimes it will be both lines >> we could sporadically get calls during the obama administration. but nothing like this. >> reporter: part of the problem, the wrong number shared on social media recently. and the white house comment line gotten extra attention because currently you can't leave a message there >> we wer

somebody had a reset in the white house. i do agree we should be applauding what happened in that briefing room today. there was a reset for the day. at least for the day. a reset on the part of the press secretary who came prepared. he moved along swiftly and truthfully and set aside the size matters question and the press was respectful. this is what we the people of the united states expect in a press briefing. we will see how long this reset holds. i'm hoping it holds straight through. he said i will never lie to you and that's good. then there was kind of a nixonian moment when it gets back to this obsession with the size of the crowd for the inauguration. pakistan is talking about using nuclear weapons and north koreans are developing a missile to hit the u.s. to say nothing about isis. we have enormous problems and we need a mutual respectfulness between the press and those in the white house. there is nothing more important to president trump than he develop a communicable trust between the leadership and the led. ev

dozen events here at the white house. almost everything the president has done, they have been running and calling sometimes at the last minute, bring the cameras in. the meeting is with-- it's been something else. >> rose: we continue with bob gates, fompler defense secretary for both barack obama and george bush. and talking about now the national security profile of the trump administration. >> i told him the same thing that i said in the senate hearing in reducing rex tillerson for his nomination hearing. i said your administration is going to have to thread the needle, and figure out how on the one hand to push back against putin's aggressiveness and meddling and interventionism. and at the same time stop a continuing downward spiral in the u.s. --an relationship, that is potentially quite dangerous. but they've got to do both sides of it. >> rose: and we conclude with a look at the global economy with sharmin moose aver rahmani of goldman sachs. >> you look at equity valuation, we actually have now just turned over

>> reporter: so many things on so many different topics are churning away at the white house. that's part of the excitement of a new administration, there's so many pieces to put together. and because of the controversy surrounding donald trump, that controversy continues to today. they will put their hands on bibles and swear to serve the country, that will be an event we expect to see some coverage of. but one of the most important things that a president will do and it's somewhat different than anything he's ever experienced before is the power to interact with world leaders now from inside the white house, and we know that the president will speak with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu this afternoon, this is an important relationship, so that's very notable. the president will also host a reception to thank those from first responders and police officers and those who participated in the inaugural ceremonies as a part of the security team, there will be a reception here to say thank you to them. the inauguration, although it is now a few days behind us, remains a

throw of the white house. but this covers from the north part of the white house all the way down across the south lawn. obviously there be very careful not to include the actual white house grounds which is getting bigger every day, not not just the white house but the eisenhower executive building on the right of your screen extending to the west wing, the smaller white lower mass to the right that connects the main family residence in the historical tour the president does his business. of course the washington monument is in the background. they have gathered to fight a largely peaceful, very little violence we have seen in some protest that had nothing to do with these. let's go to mike tobin first in the middle of this. i don't know where in the middle i know he's there. >> where i'm and doesn't give a great accurate representation of numbers. simply because we had to move out of the crowds on the mall to get a signal out. so many people jamming up the signal. it's remarkable the numbers that have turned

folks at the white house are standing their ground. they say these moves were necessary and when confronted with the questions about the chaos and confusion that this new policy has been sowing, they are pushing back. here's what reince priebus, the president's chief of staff, had to say about all of this on "meet the press." >> it wasn't chaos. the fact of the matter is 325,000 people from foreign countries came into the united states yesterday and 109 people were detained for further questioning. most of those people were moved out. we've got a couple dozen more that remain. i would suspect as long as they're not awful people that they will move through before another half a day today and perhaps some of these people should be detained further and if there are folks that shouldn't be in this country, they're going to be detained. so apologize for nothing here. >> reporter: the white house saying there's nothing to apologize for and the president himself tweeting about all of this starting early this morning saying our country needs s

but if you go to the white house website, you wouldn't know it. on the standing-up for our law enforcement page, you'll see, it says, in our nation's capital, killings have risen by 50%. that statistic was accurate in 2015, but it's not correct anymore. d.c. mayor muriel bo shortly after he said the same thing in july when accepting his party's nomination. >> in our nation's capital, killings have risen by 50%. >> reporter: but the talking point still made its way to the white house website. >> these things are easily checkable, easily verifiable. and that speaks to another deep issue. you're the federal government, people are supposed to be able to rely on your data. >> reporter: dr. greg carr says this doubling down on inaccurate information that we've seen so far from the trump administration is alarming. >> these assertions of data may then shake the confidence in not just the domestic population of the united states, but international population as well. >> reporter: mayor bowser's office released a statement which says in part, quote, for th

white house held first briefing. when press secretary sean spicer criticize the media on the size of the crowd. he was following his boss orders. here is trump himself on saturday. >> we had a massive field of

house. >> i find myself choking up because we have raised our kids in the white house. we have had so many amazing experiences. we are going to be walking away from all of that. >> the obamas won't be going far, renting a house less than two miles from here. while sasha finishes high school. and school is also affecting the moving plans of melaina trump. spending most of her time in new york while 10-year-old son baron finishes the school year. >> that's the "overnight news" for inauguration friday. for some the news continues. for others check back later for the morning news and of course, cbs this morning. which will come to you from the national mall in washington. from the broadcast center here in new york city, i'm tony dokoupil. cs captioning funded by cbs >>> good morning. it is inauguration day, friday, january 20th, 2017. welcome to "cbs this morning" from the national mall in washington. this is a historic day for america. the nation makes a peaceful transition of power from barack obama to donald trump, and we'll bring you every moment live. >>> a patriotic d

some analysts say that law may not apply to white house positions. john roberts is at trump tower in new york city where transition is underway right now. hello, john. >> shep, good afternoon to you. you can find as many analysts that will say that that law does not apply and analysts say it does apply. it goes back to 1993 when bill clinton appointed hillary clinton to head up the healthcare task force. they sued to try to prevent hillary clinton from taking over the task force. two judges ruled that the law was passed in 1967, after president kennedy appointed his brother, bobby, to be attorney general and didn't apply to staff positions at the white house. the judges held if the position was a nonpaid position, it was possible for a family member to fill that position as well. so it looks like the trump transition is going to look at that law as present for having jared kushner in the white house. we don't yet know if they will look at both of those provisions or one of those provisions. donald trump is confident he will get his son-in-law in the

the white house is offering no proof. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads here. today there's drug-free aleve direct therapy. a high intensity tens device that uses technology once only in doctors' offices. for deep penetrating relief at the source. aleve direct therapy. says she won't take a bullet for president trump. that's being investigated. first the continuing fallout from the president's debunked claim that millions of undocumented immigrants voted for hillary clinton. it's dominated the headlines for much of the day, there's that and late orders of new executive orders. so you're learning information about new executive actions. let's start with that. what is it? >> reporter: we're hearing from our sources up on capitol hill that president trump will make a stop at the department of homeland security tomorrow and

my first visit to the white house was all about your class. you're witnessing this transition after witnessing others. how different is the treatment of the press this time around? >> the central feature here is that he is not held elected office. he is not had dealings with the press in the way that elected officials have. you have to build up a skin, a thick skin in order to deal with the criticism that's going to come through the press. presidents all complain about the press and they think they have press problems when, in fact, their problems are political problems. >> interesting. the idea here that on friday, steve bannon, sean spicer all came to the briefing room. did you get a sense this is a different relationship or were they trying to act like it's going to be normal? >> kellyanne conway stopped. i'm in the basement where not a lot of people come. they go in the upper quarters. she came in and talked with people. she was not in a rush. steve bannon came through pretty quickly. he came down as well and hope along with him and sean s

behind us, the white house. nikki haley the former governor of south carolina, nominated to be the next u.n. ambassador had her hearing this week. we're awaiting potentially later today the confirmation of someone like james mattis and possible mike pompeo could be confirmed today as c.i.a. director. but so far nothing on the cabinet nominees. that's robert craft, by the way, the owner of the new england patriots. he got a shout-out yesterday in washington, d.c. and we also know woody johnson, the owner of the new york jets, has been awarded, shall we say, the ambassadorship to the united kingdom in london. >> shannon: you mentioned governor haley. it is also her birthday today. a busy day on the hill. >> bill: it certainly is. democrats and republicans alike. we do know, we talked about upwards of 70 house democrats say they will boycott today's inauguration. we'll see what the effect of that is in the days and weeks to come. but when mike pence raises his right hand, the oath will be administered by justice cl

across from the white house. >> right across from the white house. they've asked me to the interviewing stand. the license plate you were getting ready to talk about, a lot of people are upset that these license plates -- donald trump didn't ask for a special -- >> he got a special inaugural license plate that does not include the normal washington d.c. tags that say no taxation without representation which of course is part of the d.c. statehood protest, the president not a supporter of d.c. statehood. now washington d.c., the white house, his home. you're going to have a special edition of "world news tonight." >> fascinating day so far. >> there is the motorcade right there. president trump getting ready to join that parade. later three inaugural balls tonight. not sure exactly why he's holding up there right now but he'll be heading on to pennsylvania avenue. byron pitts, not using the d.c. plates will not be received all that well in the district. >> no, no, completely not. one more reason to be annoyed with

can he continue with the style that got him to the white house inside the white house? >> he has to. he has to. he has to continue to go directly to the american people so that he has the opportunity to tell it the way he wants to tell it. you know, the old days you have to call a press conference. now he puts out a tweet and makes life easier when you can do it in 140 characters from your pajamas sometimes. >> corey lewandowski, thank you. >> do you think he'll change his tone? it's one thing to be a candidate. one thing to be president-elect and even be able to still be who he is, but the tone of how he gets his message across, do you think that is going to change at all. >> i think mr. trump understands the severity of the position he's about to assume today and i don't square who it is, no one can be truly prepared to step into that oval office and so few people have had that honor in our country's history and he understands what happens when he tweets about companies but he also understands that, look, our country buys pharmaceutical drugs athe a price higher than

it will be 8:00 tomorrow night at the white house, from the white house. today we have with us people who are very successful in the world of small business. i love small business. started as a small business. my business got big. i've dealt with the small businesses and big businesses. i love you all the same. the big business folks have been fantastic. they're bringing jobs back. i say where was the outrage of the democrats when all of our companies were fleeing to mexico and to other places far away and leaving jobs behind. now they're all coming back. they're coming back by big numbers, bigger numbers than people have seen. you saw ford is announcing, and has announced big plans coming back into michigan and ohio and different places. general motors has made big announcements. fiat chrysler, the head, sergio, flew all the way here to make our meeting last night. lockheed, number one we're cutting the price of their planes by a lot, they're also expanding. ultimately they're going to be better off. boeing very much involved in new hirings and also comin

how do you know -- >> i had served in the reagan white house and the bush 41 white house. >> you knew how it was done. >> i did. i served under phenomenal chiefs of staff, james a. baker iii, john sununu, sam kinner, i'd seen a lot of them. >> that was critical for you. >> it was. made a big difference. but reince priebus has -- one, i think he's a good choice to be chief of staff. i think he does have the courage to speak truth to power. he understands what it means to be responsible for things happening at the white house. but he hired a deputy for operations who was my deputy for operations and that was very comforting, joe hagen, and he was one of the first people i hired -- >> is white house his middle name? >> white house is actually his middle name. but he is outstanding at understanding how the responsibilities of the president get met so he knows scheduling in advance, relationship with the secret service, relationship with the white house military office, he understands what it means to worry about the continuity of the president and the continuity of government. he's excell

here's how the white house is couching all of this. sean spicer speaking yesterday said it was a success. >> we carried out a very successful raid against al qaeda and the arabian peninsula which resulted in the death a 14 aqap intelligence that will better enable us to counter future terrorist plots. >> the reason they did a raid with seal team 6 is because they wanted to gather and capture that intelligence. otherwise this is what usually gets done by drone, if the intent was to kill militants. they're also saying is that some of the militants that fired on them with small arm fires were females. they're saying some of the female casualties could be as high as 59, 60. first authorization from president trump but started under a previous administration. in the last five days of president obama's a presidency, there was a raid in libya which killed a hundred, raid in syria that killed 80 and drone strikes in yemen. they went in with ground troops and special operators and the mission had some problems. >> u.s. officials have requested

house hu behind the reviewing stand theta white house is clearly over there. you know, this is what's beingti called a peaceful transfer ofr o power because this is the wayus it's been done in thise th counu the trumps and the obamass meeting and greeting one another right out in front of the whitei house just a short time ago.go they he can changed some words.s some pleasantries. blue box was given to -- was exchanged they took pictures ane went inside.s we ins according to the schedule, theee meeting between the obamas andsd the trumps is going to takee place -- it's happening rightpei now, and at 10:35, aroun sometime around there they willl leave. they will all get in the car an go down to the us capitol andita that's where the inaugurationnat will take place. place the ceremony will take place. inauguration 2017 and the swearing in of the 4ti5tonh president of the united states.. again, this is signifies the t peaceful transfer of power. pow noon is the official time forfo the move out process but, againn that's when the ceremony isony going to be taking

the white house press briefing room and the white -- press presence on the white house grounds, i know there was some discussion. is it staying? sean: for now. interviewer: is it there to stay? sean: that is not my decision to make. right now, we're working well in the briefing room. interviewer: do you think having them on the premises is a good thing? sean: sure. interviewer: defining, on the premises. sean: many answer. first day, i took a tour and him walking through and all i kept hearing was reporter after reporter, look how cramped we are in here. we looked at a couple options. right now, we don't plan on doing anything. reporters love to tell you how cramped we are then you talk about additional space and they don't want to move. get hit for talking about another potential place we could move the briefing room to have morsi. we could have additional space. nothing has been decided. i have a healthy relationship with the correspondents association. we would have a meeting if we ever had ideas. nothing is changing, that we thought outside the box initially and i talked to jeff an

house -- a packed first week in the white house. false voter fraud allegations, torture, the wall that he says mexico is going to pay for. we will have the latest. larry: amazing weather yesterday, and then tomorrow. veronica: right, big changes. turn, and it will be a hard turn, too. larry: it is january, though. veronica: some cold air will be moving in. some wet roads out there with spotty showers moving through. i want you to see that 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., the hour-by-hour forecast -- the high temperature comes around lunchtime today. showers right now. you can see them coming through. d.c. to montclair and stafford, eastbound to waldorf by 7:16. chesapeake beach, too. the next big change, the numbers. this is what it will feel like on saturday. we will make the change tonight, but the cold, even some wind, 30 to 32 is what it will feel like. so back on with the coats and gloves. some laich-effect snow showers, with the wind on -- some lake monday, maybe a flurry or two around the area. as we get into february. that is the firs

so, folks were told to make their way to the white house any way they could. they ultimately nearly surrounded it, but donald trump wasn't in for most of the day. still, they sent a message that was impossible not to hear. cecilia? >> a loud message, indeed. matt, thank you. >>> and as those protesters filled the streets of washington, president trump had a very busy first day, including a trip to the cia. that face-to-face encounter today, an about-face for mr. trump, after his publish clashes with the intelligence community. and tonight, before white house staffers have even unpacked their boxes, a late briefing, and strong words from the president's new press secretary. abc's david wright has more. >> reporter: tonight, president trump is trying to make good on his vow to change washington from day one. >> we're all on the same wavelength, folks. we're all on the same wavelength. >> reporter: beginning by changing his tone. at cia headquarters in langley, virginia. >> there is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the cia than dona

does this make sense for the white house is one of you? >> it does, because i think that they have effectively used the media against the democrats. they were able to say to their base, we have an enemy in the media, and the base agreed, so it helps them a little bit, but i do think that stephen" is very quotable, and i can understand what journalist would be offended by it, but the second one was just give us a shot here. what kellyanne conway said about just doing good reporting. i've been in media relations a long time, it can be very frustrating. the thing is also this, human beings are always going to try to get sugar first. if you give them something to cover, a tweet that seems a little off, they will cover it. they will always do that. if you can just serve the meat and potatoes, message discipline, you won't have so much of the sugar, because everyone is on a sugar high. >> it's important to note thoug though, she spoke about how it's not like other policies. on friday the president signed the order and refugees. it took two hours

at the white house day?y? >> well, right now, of course,ht all of n the staff, the workingi staff of the white house havetee all left. all le yesterday was their last day. so offices are being preparedree and cleaned and ready for new fw team to start coming in and through the weekend. but in the residence portion,orn i'm sure it's a bitter -- it's ' bittersweet morning.orning i mean this is the time right about -- entire resident staff is --, saying final goodbye tode the family they had to take care for eight years. so that is a poignant moment, mn one that helps to bring great closure for the obama family tol say thank you.. >> and the literal transition oo not just power but of residencee happens in a fairly short amounn of time. >> absolutely. after this departure with theth residence staff and then thehen obamas will be ready to to stara to receive the president-elect, traditional coffee and blue room and he is cored up to thehe swearing in. i the chief usher will give the command to everyone in that p

. >> it was a tough day at the white house, because that's what happens whenever the white house is caught in a lie. >> do you believe that millions voted illegally. >> this is a well debunked conspiracy theory. >> he believes that based on evidence presented to him. >> i've seen no evidence to that effect. >> i'm begging the president share with us information he has about this or please stop saying it. >> he states his conces of voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign. >> you have dead people voting. they woke up from the dead and went and voted. >> great political and democratic crisis we face in this country is not voter fraud, it's voter suppression. >> it is all about having lost the popular vote to hillary clinton. that is what rubs this man. >> there's something wrong with a person who cannot see beyond his own egocentric need. >> he is focused on the size of his crowds, ratings, hands, everything. instead of the cia he should be talking to a ci-chiatrist. >> the trump campaign woke up to the toughest headline on the "new york times" front page since the nixon w

this came directly from the top because that's how the white house works and i think what the white house has to decide is how much -- what worked on the campaign trail and that is keeping everybody guessing about the press and using our lack of credibility so that they're never wrong because if there aren't any real facts then there are no facts and they can decide what's right. and they work in the campaign and it may not work the same way now that he is the respect but they feel like they will. i don't think this is about crowd size. it's the idea that if the press is never credible then when we're dealing with more important things we'll be more on the defensive and more on offense and looking less on the defensive when we're being questioned over much bigger things. >> so there are facts and there are apparently alternative facts. that is the phrase that took hold this weekend. let me play for you and our viewers and the genesis of what kellyanne conway said this week. >> the president asked the white house press secretary to come out in front of the podium for the first time and utt

house phone number. >> oh. >> so the white house phone number is 202-456-1111. >> guess they've been getting a lot of calls. >> tlars 457. one of the owns are say i literally answer the line and say this isn't the white house. by the time i hang up there's another phone call with someone with grievances or praise calling thinking it's the white house. >>> and off to another unfortunate circumstance. this was a fan trying to propose to his girlfriend at the atlanta hawks game during the kiss cam. but things went a little wrong when he gets bumped by fellow fan trying to congratulate him. question is, watch the girlfriend here? that looks a little overaced. >> like a lot of overacting. > let's dissect this again. so you have them look at her immediate reaction after the ring is dropped. wouldn't you be looking for the ring. >> no. her immediate reaction is to get into a fight. >> to try to sock the guy. >> exactly. >> and then this beyonce move here. i don't know. >> i am causing fake on that one. that's just my own interpretation. >> let's go to a wonderful moment. this is beautiful.

white house staff. in the administrations i served in, he drew the same lesson i did. having the press there makes the white house staff more honest, more accountable. >> absolutely. >> if you weren't there, would feel like we can get away with this thing. but when you have to answer questions every day, have regular news conferences, forces staff to look each other in the eye and can't get away with it, let's tell the truth. >> may think in the beginning can get away with things but in the end -- >> i think reflect on the way he interacted with the press. wasn't good. repeatedly talked about lack of access. said most secretive white house ever dealt with. waged a war on whistleblowers and remember the justice department seizing phone records. >> but don't they look rather small compared -- >> i think it affects your ability to have principled criticism of it when you behave that way. started with the bush administration. >> doesn't every administration have adversarial relationship with the press? >> t

chief white house correspondent john roberts has been busy this morning come alive from the white house. catch us up. >> busy for not just this morning, but the previous five or six days now, harris, it is really like drinking from a firehose here at the white house. there was so much news coming out. one thing i want to address before we get to today's executive orders, there wasn't some news breaking this morning about a memorandum circulating around here at the white house that the president may be thinking about resurrecting the idea of the so-called "black sites" of the cia and reviewing procedures of interrogation in the army field manual. i'm told by senior sources at the white house that there is nothing to this. that memorandum was simply 1 of thousands of memoranda that were written during the transition process, basically outlining a potential policy for everything that candidate donald trump said on the campaign trail. i'm told that the possibility of resurrecting cia black sites and reviewing the army few field manual is somewhere between slim and exceedingly slim, but then

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 good-bye to george and laura bush. >> i remember inauguration day, in the morning, to say farewell in the east room, and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. including the bushes. >> our thanks to elizabeth. and i hope you'll join elizabeth and me 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, right here 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. breaking news on that front. >>> and news tonight coming in about former president george h.w. bush and his wife, barbara. we'll be right back. and the wolf huf and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa?

republicans now have the house, the senate, soon to have the supreme court and the white house. this is not the trump-schumer agenda. that's going to require him to work across the aisle. he will have to work at minimum eight democrat expenditures for every piece of lead >> martha: these protests, will get them on the screen on the right-hand side of everybody's tv at home, just to see people throwing rocks at windows, there was a limousine that was set on fire and someone sprawled we the people across the side of it, your thoughts on what happened today. >> i don't know what they think they are accomplishing by doing this, but i know they are accomplishing, or driving people, even people as richard said who did not vote for donald trump, don't like donald trump, but they're good, law-abiding, patriotic americans, they're driving those type of people into the arms of donald trump. we love protest, we love dissent. all of that's fine, but taking a hammer and going down the street and smashing out shop windows and burning trash in the street and throwing rocks at police, that's no

and any moment now, the trumps will come out the north entrance there of the white house, walk along that honor guard past our camera positions there on the right. on the wooden platform, and take their position and the reviewing stand. >> speaking of personnel and the transition reports of conflict between secretary mattis and the trump administration and the white house with regard to his ability to make pentagon appointments, civilian personnel, and specifically national security experts who appear to be blackballed who were part of the never trump movement who were cig any toirs to the letter. and you know, according to to the reports, a point of conflict that secretary mattis apparently believes there's a competency gap without the ability to harness that wing of expertise in the republican party. >> that's going to be -- >> i mean -- >> who's winning, steve? who's winning? >> oh, i think it's too early to tell. what is the case, when you look at chief of staff priebus, jared kushner, steve bannon, you have people who've never served an hour in government service, james mattis,

any chance ivanka might have an office in the white house? >> well right now she is just getting settled. we'll have to see what happens. she is a special person. she's smart and she's got every quality you could possibly have. i don't rule out anything. there's certainly a possibility and jared has been here doing a great job. >> reporter: not in the white house full time trump's wife melania and 10-year-old son barron who will be finishing the school year in new york. until then, trump tells "the new york times," they'll come down on the weekends. she'll come down on thursdays and stay. >> reporter: your predecessor used to talk about finishing the day to get to his family upstairs. the stairwell is right over here to have dinner with them and know the first lady, melania, has a big job in new york taking care of barron. >> she does, yes. >> does it make it a lonely place? >> no, because i end up working longer and that's okay. i mean, i'm working long hours. i mean, the country has a lot of problems. it has a lot. >> the new president seem

it is a story of the american people, a forgotten part of our white house history. and it is a story where you can find out the inside story of what happened at the white house and what happened to these people who took care of the president. unwillingly they were slaves but they took care of the president. you can find out how the early presidents related to the slaves and how they related to him and what happened after they left the white house. host: jesse holland, thanks for your time today. thank you. >> coming up tuesday morning, a look at president obama's foreign policy. what he achieved and which se -- issues and crises remain a

and the point isn't to get him out of the white house. we know that's not a possibility at this moment, but it's to show emotion, solidarity and it's also, which i found interest, it was about sending a message to those recently confirmed cabinet members. if we see hate in this administration, we're going to show you how quickly and how powerfully we can mobilize. brian? >> this almost looked like a counterinauguration yes this country today and we can't point out enough this was on day one, the first full day of the trump presidency. let's talk about the politics of this. joining us by telephone because she's in washington having just returned from the march is the veteran democratic california congresswoman maxine waters. a 14-term member of congress who was part of the march today. congresswoman, we can't emphasize enough this was peaceful. i'm told the only place where tempers got a little hot, where there was a spark in the air was outside the trump hotel on the mall in washington briefly. and here's what i wanted to ask you. "the ne

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 a little bit early so that the white house itself pretty quickly after the staff leaves their last day of real work, people run around, change furniture, change locks. they paint walls. rugs, change new the paintings in the oval office to fit what the new president wants. they said at the table and put the family pictures in the background. it is a flurry of activity. the muster medically for me was smelling the paint drying in the oval office just before the new president is about to come in. so the outgoing president is kind of seeing that which was their domain being readied for someone else. and it's a little bit sad. it's also a chance for celebration, because yo
