united states, mike pence. >> we are nine days away from the inauguration of the 45th president of the united states of america. i am pro foundly honored and humbled that i will take the oath of office to serve as vice president of the united states nine days from today. but i am even more honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with a new president who will make america great again. now, the president-elect's leadership and his energy during the campaign was impressive. but as the chairman of the transition effort, i can assure the american people that his energy and his vision during the course of this transition has been even more inspiring. to see the way he has brought together men and women of extraordinary capability at a historic pace in this cabinet, 19 of the 21 cabinet officials have been announced, nine committee hearings already scheduled, seven more soon to go on the books in the next several days. and it is a compilation of men and women with an unprecedented caliber of leadership and background to help this administration move our nation forward. perhaps that's why there'

-elect trump's inauguration and the meetings are not slowing down at trump tower. let's go to fox business adam shapiro on the scene with the latest. who have you seen going in and t today, adam? busy day? light day? >> it has been a light day. we're going to talk about some of the people who have gone in, among them leo, the director. let me talk about the new year, the new nomination because this is key for the trump administration agenda going into the new year. and it was the nomination of robert lightheiser to become the next u.s. trade representative. this is key because he was a deputy trade during the bush administration and has negotiated something like two dozen bilateral trade agreements from grain to steel, and he's a trump supporter who wants to take a tougher line like mexico and china. so that was announced this morning by president-elect trump's staff. but then there was also the tweet that came this morning. you talked about earlier the general motors tweet but also what happened with ford and ford's decision not to do that $1.6 billion project plant in mexico and

truly dangerous decision. gayle? >> the trump inauguration is more than two weeks way but congress is moving full steam ahead to get rid of obamacare. the senate narrowly approved a fast track resolution. the vote followed with democrats working to save the signature achievement. vice president elect mike pence was also on capitol hill, urging house republicans to repeal the law. nancy core dishas more. >> i'm told president obama actually apologized to democrats on capitol hill for not doing a better job all these years selling obama care. he urged them to goat out and telepersonal stories of people benefiting from the law. with repeal all but assured, the fight has moved on to who is going to get the blame if people lose coverage. >> the eyes have 51, the nays are 48. >> reporter: republicans took the first vote in the repeal process wednesday. >> now they're going to own it. >> reporter: as the two sides tangled over who is going to own the post repeal mess if there is one. >> the simple fact is the american people know who owns obamacare. it's the first half of the title. >> repor

mississippi. then he continues his route all week before donald trump's inauguration on friday. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. 70% of schools in london could face extra budget cuts under government changes to the way they're funded. that's according to london councils, which says schools in the capital will need to make savings of £360 million in the first year. but the government argues london is the highest funded part of the country and that inner—city schools here will be allocated 30% more funding per pupil than the national average. plans to build nearly 8,000 new homes in haringey may be put on hold overfears it could price local people out of the area. as part of the regeneration of wood green the council would provide land it owns, like the library, while a private company would put in the cash. last night campaigners held a protest urging the council's leadership to pause the project. drones are to be used to carry out surveys and do repairs on buildings in west london in order to save time and

this. we can't move on this even putting it on the agenda until inaugural day, when we -- or afterwards, when we get it up here. it's only at that point we can put it on the agenda. then under our rules, any one member can hold it over. so whatever agenda it's on, it won't come up that day, it won't come up until one week later. >> this is unlikely to come up on january 20th or that week even? >> no. >> senator, one of the issues that came up in the hearing today was about russia, russia's role in the elections, for you personally, how concerned are you about what russia has done and what recourse should the united states take in order to retaliate against russia? >> okay. well, of course, who wouldn't be concerned about any nation trying to effect policy in another country? the united states has done that in the past, even going back to beating the communist party of italy in the early 1950s, as an example, when it looked like the communists were going to take over italy. we've been involved in those things. that doesn't make it right but every country probably does it. i would say thi

other things. but you also talked about crowd size at the inauguration, about the size of your rallies, about covers on "time" magazine. and i just wanna ask you when does all of that matter just a little less? when do you let it roll off your back now that you're the president? >> ok, so i'm glad you asked. so i went to the cia, my first step. i have great respect for the people in intelligence and cia. i'm -- i don't have a lot of respect in particular one of the leaders. but that's okay. but i have a lotta respect for the people in cia. that speech was a home run. that speech, if you look at fox, okay. i'll mention you -- we see what fox said. they said it was one of the great speeches. they showed the people applauding and screaming and -- and they're all cia. there was -- somebody was asking sean -- "well, were they trump people that were put --" we don't have trump people. they were cia people. that location was given to me. mike pence went up before me, paid great homage to the wall. i then went up, paid great homage to the wall. i then spoke to the crowd. i got a standi

week last week in terms of the last days of the obama administration, preparations for inauguration of the new president, so this remarkable military offensive didn't get that much attention. military.com wrote, this lead about the mission, quote, the rarely used b-2 stealth bomber carried out massive strikes against two isis camps in libya on wednesday in what was almost certainly the last combat mission specifically authorized by president barack obama. this is from military.com. published that on thursday, the last full day of the obama administration. but it turns out that b-2 stealth bomber run around the world and into libya, that might not have been the last combat mission ordered by president obama because those b-2s flew on wednesday. the next day on thursday, u.s. planes were flying a major series of strikes in syria. again, targeting isis. in this case targeting al qaeda. in this case they used a b-52 bomber and drones and the u.s. says it struck a long-standing militant training camp west of aleppo near the turkish border. so right up until the moment he left office on w

, pressure matters. pressure still works. at least some of the time. on inauguration day, a mem blow went out to all the employees at the department of health and human services and that memo told them that without exception people in that agency were no longer allowed to make any "correspondence to public officials." no more correspondence to public officials including members of congress and governors, for example. and people who work at that agency started telling members of congress, i'm sorry, we're banned from speaking with you. i'm sorry, i can't go to that meeting with you. i'm sorry, i know you've made this request of a federal agency for information but i can't answer that because i have been banned from speaking with members of congress. we've been told we're not allowed to provide information to members of congress or other elected officials. democratic members of congress, including congressman elijah cummings and congress man frank pallone went nuts in response to this gag order. they wrote to the white house about it. news coverage of the gag order geared up. the new a

leader pushing a number of democrats to boycott the inauguration come friday. mike pence then reacted to the war of words. >> i was deeply disappointed to see someone of his stature question the legacy of donald trump's election. >> all talk, no action? >> well -- >> do you think that's appropriate? >> i think donald trump has the right to defend himself. >> this brings us to our first pulse question of the day for you. agree or disagree here? congressman john lewis should accept donald trump as a legitimate question. agree or disagree. let's go to kelly o'donnell covering the trump transition for us. kelly, democrats, republicans a lot is being said right now. what is the latest? >> we have a new tweet from donald trump that seems to suggest he has heard some of the upro uproar. he says for many years our country has been divided, angry and untrusting. many say it will never change. and then all caps, it will change. what is striking about that is that the other tweets, which seemed to very personally attack john lewis, to describe his district in very unflattering terms, the backlas

>>> this sunday, a divided country on a split screen weekend. it began with the inauguration of a new president. >> yes, together, we will make america great again. >> that brought out hope in some. >> it's amazing to see our democratic process. >> and prompted millions of women to march across the country. >> we are america, and we are here to stay. and around the world. to march for women's rights and against the new president. >>> plus the bizarre fight over crowd size. >> it looked like a million or a million and a half people. >> donald trump accuses the media of lying about the size of the crowd. but the photos comparing friday's crowd with obama's first inaugural tell a very different story. and that inaugural address that was a call for renewed american strength, and a dark portrait of the nation that president trump now leads. >> this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. my guests this morning, kellyanne conway, chuck schumer of new york. joining me is chris matthews, kristen welker. hugh hewitt, and elliana johnson. welcome to a special edition of "meet

are john f. kennedy and ronald reagan. growing up as a jfk fan, i memorized jfk's inaugural address. ronald reagan's was memorable as well. what they had in common was summoning the country to a challenge and also appealing to american greatness and what the country meant as a whole. that was their sort of historic themes that two of those people shared. it went over very well in a day for each of them. i think he's going to follow somewhat in that path. i think this is going to be more my guess here, more philosophical than agenda driven. >> ba cory sellers, a number of democrats not attending, but story goes on. >> it does. i think the right to protest is as american as apple pie. the fact they're not here is their right. today it's not about the man, but about what of our glatest american traditions which is about the peaceful transition of power. while we may not be fully excited, i remain hopeful, although the morning started out with donald trump getting a sermon from someone who is anti muslim, homophobic and brings a lot of controversy with him, i'm hopeful at 12:00 donald t

inauguration. he is speaking out today. he was on a podcast with the comedian. here is what he said. >> i felt disgusted but never the kind of fear you feel now. it's as simple as the fear of is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job. forget about where they are. do they have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility? >> talking about disgust and fear regarding donald trump but questioning the issue of pure competence. does he have a point? >> i will take bruce springsteen and ask him to throw his resume on the table next to donald trump and see who has a higher level of education. whoever doesn't have a bigger set of degrees gets to shut up. >> you should shut up because i have a higher degree than you do. that is foolish. >> for him to say -- >> the point is to dismiss what he said. >> bruce springsteen is really good at music. stick to it. when you don't get your way respect the will of the american people. this is what the left does, be tolerant of my ideas but intolerant to them losing. when they lose they act like cry babies and th
