>> from our studios in new york city, this is "charlie rose." donald john trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the united states to date. an estimated 800,000 people gathered at the white house as he took the oath, led by john roberts. president trump: i do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. >> and will to the best of my

ability -- >> and will to the best of my ability. >> preserve, protect, and defend. >> the constitution of the united states. >> the constitution of the united states. >> so help me god. >> so help me god. >> congratulations, mr. president. charlie: while some had hoped that he might use the inaugural address as a call for unity, he delivered a populist speech that was a call for action. the speech repeated a constant campaign theme, to make america first. president trump: we assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power. from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. from this day forward, it is going to be only america first. america first. [applause]

president trump: every decision on trade, taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit american workers and american families. we must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries, making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. charlie: president trump also made the bold vow to eliminate radical islamic terrorism. president trump: we will reinforce new alliances and old ones. eradicate radical islamic terrorism completely from the face of the earth. [applause] president trump: at the bedrock of our politics will be a total

allegiance to the united date of america, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. charlie: in a dramatic turn, president trump described what has happened to this country as "the american carnage." president trump: mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities. rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation. an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge. and the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. this american carnage stops right here, and stops right now.

charlie: despite this peaceful transfer of power, which is a hallmark of democracy, america remains a divided country. president trump in his office with less popular support than any new president in modern times. with look at the president's first day in the weeks ahead, al hunt, mark leibovitz of "the newer times" magazine, and margaret of bloomberg news. margaret. the speech. >> this was certainly a different speech than the one barack obama gave eight years ago, wasn't it? it was less inspirational, less unifying and less specific in terms of which groups that he would call out, domestically and abroad. president obama's called out to muslims, people of color throughout the world. president trump's speech was entirely a u.s. focused speech. you can say certainly it was shores, buthese

beyond that, it was not focus be on the shores of the united states. only to suggest that for interests are all out to get us economically. striking. >> i agree, but it was quite different from the speech that ronald reagan gave in 1981. it lacked the optimism that reagan gave when he was delivering the same conservative messages. and it was different than a speech george w. bush made in 2001 when he showed such grace and civility towards al gore, who he had actually tied with. so, it was a very confrontational speech, as you said. he talked about american carnage. i think america has a lot of problems, but i don't know if there is carnage across the land. it was a dark speech, in many ways. i think it is one that appeal to his base. his base is 39% of the american people. and governing with 39% is going to be a challenge.

>> i will disagree with the notion that it was not an aspirational speech. with all the weakness of the rhetoric, it was clear what he was promising, ending radical islamic terrorism, ending the carnage, essentially. he is grading a rather high bar for himself. also, it is worth noting that obama has given him a long way to fall. obama was elected twice on the popular vote twice. unemployment is around 4%. once news actually starts happening, donald trump will own it and i think a lot of people will come back to the somewhat aspirational, i can do this, tone of today. charlie: hold him to that standard. >> correct. >> i was struck by how little effort he made to reach out to the voters who did not support him. this was a president who lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. i remember talking to the republicans on the night of the

election and many of them are excited that in his victory speech, he did make the point of reaching out to the rest of the country. you did not hear that in his speech today and i guess i him puzzled as to why. i think everyone here is kind of an agreement. this was a speech for his base. it sounded a lot of the same populist themes used on the campaign trail, but it was not a speech for the whole country. charlie: i have come to the conclusion that while this might have been come in terms of the populist message, something that was started as a campaign strategy, he has come to believe these things. i think that as he spoke that, he confidently comes back to it. i think that is where he is in terms of where he thinks the movement is and what he thinks he has to do. >> i think maybe. he has listened to his base fare -- his base very clearly. he is definitely terrified of being accused of being a sellout. one thing donald trump has shown, strangely through the transition, is he likes to

impress the person in front of him. it will be interesting. even the body language da today with some of the leaders of the house and the senate, the obama's, it was pretty warm. we will see how that continues to evolve. he is trying to play two games at once. >> i think that is a really good point. the complications, and the challenges it u poses, he said everyone will get health insurance. that is not republican orthodox, that is democrat orthodox. can he deliver that? he also says that the government, medicare, should negotiate drug prices. republicans have found that absolutely horrifying. >> he is already doing that with the criticism he is making of big pharma. >> if you go to kentucky or west virginia and you talk to that base, that is building for that too. it will be interesting to see how the paul ryan's of the world

respond to that. and on foreign policy, which was barely mentioned today, the cloud of russia is hanging over this administration. >> he did not speak to rush at all. >> he did not speak to any foreign policy, other than a bleak reference about how we enriched foreign countries. charlie: let's talk about what we saw. they were all these people, including hillary clinton. >> he did not mention her. charlie: he did not. i assumed he might do that. i think one thing the people missed -- you mentioned reagan 's and bush's speech, if you talk to obama's people, there was some regret that he was seen as being ungracious of george w. bush. he painted a bleak picture of george w. bush's america. it was a much more political

speech then obama himself would have an instinct to do. if you are very gracious, bend over backwards, to appraise your opposition, you sort of guarantee yourself a 5% to 10% jump. you get a lot of points that way, but he seemed very conscious. charlie: going into this, and we were there at 11:30. it started at 7:00, and during the entire morning on cbs, he talked about how this was his moment to show an appeal to unity. >> this does answer the question of how will the change at the end of the transition? he loses -- charlie: you got to shift from campaigning to governing and he did not do that. >> he is resistant and that is why he is a 40% in terms of approval rating. the questions that democrats were asking, will he stop beating up on the enemies and

bring people together once he takes that oath of office? rhetorically come in terms of that speech, the answer so far is no. when you look at the relationship between trump and obama, which has been so contentious for so many years, controversy and obama calling him out, obama has made an effort since the election to bring trump into the full 10 communicate with him. charlie: from everything i hear, they have been talking a lot on the phone. >> that is what we do here. there were a couple moments towards the end, when he talked about the soldiers, detroit, and nebraska -- i will do something i rarely do which is slightly disagreeing with mr. leibovitz. ronald reagan laid down the , but he did it1 in a different way. he gave credit to carter. he mentioned mondale, i believe. he set that predicate and he but het his visonion,

did it with an optimism. that is what was lacking today. >> i was on the national mall, watching this speech surrounded by trump supporters. it was not a sunny speech for everyone listening to that. but if you are somebody who is a trump supporter who thinks the vision of the country as it is now that trump laid out during the campaign, if you agree with that, then this speech today probably to give you hope. there were several moments during the speech where i would look around and from supporters were giddy, practically giggling. charlie: i thought the underlying sense of, i am serious about this, i am serious about all of this and i will do it. the other thing that was interesting to me was the sense that he was going to slay all these dragons. the dragons he wants to slay,

are they appropriate targets? >> they are his targets. there were no new dragons that appeared today. these were the old dragons. the biggest dragon he wants to slay is washington, the so-called establishment. charlie: people like bob gates and other people think washington really is the problem because of gridlock, because nothing is happening. >> that is true. but how do you slay -- you can't slay a system. what do you have at the end? out how to figure make that system work for you. i see no indication of that. >> it is hard to be hyper partisan and reach bipartisan deals. to me that is the internal rhetorical conflict in his message. charlie: it is overwhelming. >> yes. charlie: you can appeal over the heads of politicians. >> washington obviously, is a place. summoning presidents have run against washington. everyone has a different definition of what washington is. ae establishment is also

distraction. we will see what he actually fight for and what the contours of the debate actually take the shape of. >> but that reason for the obstruction in the last couple years is obstruction equals winning. that has been the calculation. if it is about winning and losing and, are you on my team or i am going after you on twitter, it is hard to see how you come together on the stuff that you need a legislative deal for. charlie: there was a lot of talk about america first. he said to the world, my first objective is to america and you will have to pay your fair share and some institutions will have to change. >> this is the populist-nationalism that trump has been chamfering. populist nationalism, by its definition, it is popular with the domestic voters. it sounds good to the average american listening to it.

of course, one thing i was struck by in his speech, he did not just say that america has the right to look out for its own interests first, but every country has the right to look out for its own interests first. that could be true, but a lot of the global peace and stability we have had over this last half century has been built around alliances like nato, where countries are willing to look out for each other in a way trump does not seem as interested in. granted, we have not heard a lot of specifics, but the ways he talks about these things, it does not seem like he thinks it is that important. i think a lot of people around the world are nervous about this idea that america is going to withdraw from the world and just focus entirely on its own interests. charlie: go ahead. >> i was going to say, what happens on february 19, when that dictator in north korea mano i want to go mano a

with the president of the united states. it's not that easay. i think i agree with you totally. ♪

charlie: where are we on this

security issue with respect to russia and these intercepted messages from russia? >> i think this is a good story and not just because my paper put it on the front page today, although there is that. this is a drip, drip, drip story. it will keep going. the story on the front page today was that there are three associates of trump, paul manafort, roger stone, and carter page. there are some intercepted correspondences and phone calls with russia during the campaign. charlie: none of them are close to him right now. >> there are denials from all the parties in our story. trump has denied having anything to do with it. charlie: what do they say, these intercepts? >> well, we don't know and that is what a lot of these reports have been grounded in. >> the question is, can you tie anyone associated with trump to the efforts to disrupt the american election?

if you can, if any of them were engaged in that, it is a criminal act and somebody will prosecute them. i don't think he will be able to prove the russians are blackmailing donald trump. you cannot haul putin before a grand jury. they were memos. story read that "times" today, i just wonder, is carter page, or roger stone, heaven help us if roger stone is involved, or paul manafort. in that sense, and this is all unsubstantiated, this is really the first time they new president is coming to office with at least a little bit of a cloud hanging over him since richard nixon. charlie: do you see any humility in donald trump? you are looking at me like, are you nuts?

he does constantly push it back, it is not me, diane am the messenger. it is not me. it is the movement. it is not me. it is you people. >> he knows that he needs his bsase of disaffected workers and working-class voters across america. he knows without them he really does not have -- charlie: he pierced the blue wall. >> he did. he has seen already how difficult it is to do some of these things with regards to the russian investigation. it says to me he might get a new cia director and be skeptical of the conclusion reached during the obama administration. charlie: in terms of politics, very bright. democrats and republicans disagree on policy, but he is not the key. >> the key here is james comey. james comey is in the catbird seat, once again.

the fbi will conduct the investigation as to whether there was any involvement with the trump associates and the russians. james comey -- democrats like bernie sanders are calling for james comey. charlie: when you look at the people who have not been confirmed, is it likely that some will fail? >> um, i don't know. if we were talking about this a week ago -- charlie: a lot of questions have been raised. >> you can't go after them all. democrats have to pick the battle. >> i think the trump team would be willing to sacrifice one if it means getting the rest of them. atwell who it would be. there is a lot of organization against betsy devos. the teachers unions are very upset with her. >> there was a moment today with schumer -- trump was signing the names of the nominations of his

cabinet in his signing ceremony. he was giving out the pens. and he said, who wants betsy devos? he said to schumer, do you want this one, chuck? and he said, no, i don't want that one. higher profile republicans in the senate are the most concerned about tillerson. charlie: they say that is in the hands of marco rubio. >> rubio, mccain. >> i think if they were to oppose him, he would get confirmed. i think basically, they will find a couple votes. be, heink tillerson will would not have been there first, fourth, or seventh choice. but they don't want rudy giuliani or newt gingrich there. i think tillerson will be definitely confirmed. i shouldn't say that. i always pay a price when i say that.

maybe the labor secretary, conceivably betsy devos. price, he might have a problem. ice, he has those ethical problems. but it won't be more than one. charlie: let's talk about bill clinton and hillary clinton, who were there. when they went to the luncheon, president trump called out bill clinton and hillary clinton and said, i have a lot of respect for them. >> he also walked over and physically shook hillary clinton's hand, which had not happened on the podium. there was a moment where trump said, "thank you for coming." at least there was a gesture. charlie: cnn did this, they had a big shotgun mic. >> now, c-span did. this did not just have people yacking like us and just had the

big boom mic. mic had this boom hovering over people as they were walking out. you heard things like bob dole tell president obama, "you are a good man." and elizabeth dole, "god bless you, sir." jason chaffitz went to hillary clinton, and they were both laughing. what on earth could they be talking about? there was laughter, but i did not hear the words. that is my favorite moment of television, when c-span keeps the mics open. the interesting thing that comes out of this when you look at this is, by every indication in the speech today, donald trump has not changed. >> true. >> i agree with that. charlie: he is, whether he is tweeting, or everything else. >> the trump pivot became so

cliche. he was going to pay that once he won the nomination, once he won the election, and during the debate. >> and then he comes out with the sumthumbs up. he is who he is. you dance with the girl you brought. charlie: darrell royal did very well. pivot one thing of tehe came after the election. >> everybody pointed to that. >> he said the next day, we will not prosecute and we will not lock her up. with president obama and the visit to the oval office, that looked like if not utility, fear. >> he seemed genuinely humble. maybe world events are the things that will humble him.

certainly, past presidents have said that. it is not that he can't change. it is that i don't think of his own militia and he will foot only change his personality. >> but he is a real master of stagecraft. if he did not know it will be for "the apprentice," he knew it by the end of 14 seasons. there is still a part of me that still thinks that even the today would have been that pivot, if there was going to be one, that if circumstances change, donald trump can change. >> i think he will on positions. e don't think on ton and temperament. let's remember that tomorrow there will be a massive demonstration in this town. people are coming from all over the country. i don't know how that affects. charlie: how many are they expecting? >> i don't know the last estimate. it is hundreds of thousands. charlie: is it primarily women?

>> there was also a woman's march. charlie: let me tell you one thing. for those people who say that donald trump is not a unifier, i teach at the university of pennsylvania and it came out yesterday that a bus is being re nted jointly by the women's jewish organization and the penn muslim organization. they are traveling together and they never spent any time together. that is unifying. charlie: he talked about life in urban america, clearly talking thet crime and some of issues. and economic insecurity and all of those kinds of issues. will that be looked on as somebody committed to doing something about the people in urban america, or will it be viewed in some other way? >> i think it depends on who is doing the viewing. i really do. i also think it will be a gutcheck, come midterms, which republicans in congress will be nervous about. in the end, the judgment on this comes four years from now. no one thinks you can fix urban

problems in three months or something. that will not be a first hundred days issue. by the time midterms are coming up, there will be judgment as to whether his promises are being met. charlie: he is on a chosen a campaign,the 2020 "keep america great." >> that requires an indelible blueprint for how bad things are on day one and that is in a way, what he did today. the metrics are not nearly as bad as the rhetoric. in inner cities, this is where infrastructure becomes important. if he is able to get through a massive infrastructure bill, it is going to help a number of struggling inter-cities. charlie: that is one of the things, when he went to urban areas in america, he did talk about that kind of thing. >> they are talking about the opposite. they are talking about budget cuts. making sure the sick people still have insurance.

and renew cities by spending money there. >> and a huge tax cut. charlie: i think we're still in the rhetoric stage. charlie: they are maybe coming out with one big proposal for date over the next two weeks. >> but infrastructure, rebuilding the wall, medicare, health care. it is interesting to watch how populism within the republican party evolved. the root of populism four years , six years ago was the tea party, debt, the constitution, small government. this is a different flavor of the trump populism that we have. what will happen for all those people, all these scared republicans four years ago who

penance for enabling the bush spending bills. will they forget about that and jump on the infrastructure bill for trump? charlie: did he talk about social issues at all. >> i don't think abortion was mentioned at all. charlie: did he talk supreme court appointments? >> no, but he said within the last couple days that he has one ready to go. this is maybe unfair. i don't think social issues turn donald trump on. >> he did not mention abortion during his convention speech. >> he will give a big abortion speech in a week or two. >> if you look at the numbers -- >> can i interject for a minute? i thought one of the most fascinating and chilling pieces i had seen in the last week or

two was the piece you did in the atlantic. this is the scary part. we hope it is wrong. you had the foresight to interview john dean. >> john dean was white house counsel under richard nixon, a key figure in the watergate saga. he actually told me that in the weeks leading up to the election, he was having nightmares about a trump presidency. the reason was, he said, two reasons, one, he sees in trump a lot of the same dangerous characteristics that nixon had. nestssession with ventral , the boundless ambition, a certain sense of paranoia. but he said he feels the institutions in american life that are meant to keep a president power in check have really deteriorated in the decades since the nixon decade. the partisan nature of congress and even the courts. his argument was basically that trump is going to be worse than

nixon in terms of corruption, but that he will probably get away with it. that is a provocative argument. charlie: worse than nixon in terms of corruption? what kind of corruption? >> he points to his business entanglements and the alleged tied with russia. his argument is that any one of these scandals and waiting could blow up on him, and he still doesn't see a scenario where it is so bad that he will be forced out of office. it is hard for him to envision in this environment any revelation explosive enough to force a president out of office. charlie: he said a lot of things that were very bold today, but he also promised to be bold. i raised this question last night, in fact. what might he do if he wanted to be, not just in foreign policy, but in both foreign and domestic policy, a kind of nixon goes to china? >> i watched your interesting

program last night. you had a fabulous panel and nobody had a great answer to that. maybe smarter people than me , like you three or four here, will. charlie: let me rephrase. what could donald trump do that he can uniquely do because he is who he is, but would surprise us? >> i would just quickly say that some kind of racial reconciliation might be at the top. i am not sure he will do that. i am not sure steve bannon will want him to do that. >> i think he probably thinks his nixon in china opportunity was with russia, but at this point any entanglement or any outreach to russia is so suspect given all of the noise around the election and those associations anyway, it would be difficult. charlie: did i hear him clearly say that we are moving to an era of protectionism? >> i don't know if he said that explicitly, but he did say protect, protect, protect. he did not talk about it in the context of trade.

i don't think it was in the speech, but clearly that was his message. charlie: his message, we will tax the hell out of american corporations, as well as tariffs on foreign corporations, if they do not allow us to play on a level playing field. >> we will wait until that actually happens and the market is affected deeply and prices go up. again, it is an abstraction when you are not doing with real-world effect. in a few weeks, we will be. charlie: after saying that we all have the same freedoms, we salute the same thing, we share the same sky and the same dreams, he once again appealed to his face saying to all of those americans, you will never be ignored agian, your voice, your hopes, and your dreams to define our destiny. we will make america great again. >> that is aspirational. >> he is putting all the chips on a couple of numbers. >> the politics of this are

great. he has shown a willingness to tweet out about the jobs he is saving even before he takes office. the reality might be dubious given what was in the works before, but that will be a recurring theme. look at these jobs staying here because of my leadership. >> we talked a lot about the darkness in the speech, which was there, but some of the great speeches had dark elements. fdr said, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, but he also talked about the money changers and driving them out. ronald reagan said government is not the solution. government is the problem. so i think what was different is muchboth of those had more, mark is right, it was aspirational but there was a , negativity about that aspiration, as opposed to the optimism some others conveyed. charlie: thank you for coming. thank you, mark. thank you very much. it is a pleasure to have each of you here. ♪

charlie: we have been talking about a speech. a lot of weight was put on the speech when donald trump came here for this inauguration day. it was the beginning of the definition of him, many thought, and it was an opportunity to see if he would reach out. it was a chance to see how he

viewed his moment. because it is the beginning today of the trump presidency, and in case you missed the speech, we will now repeat the speech, the same speech we have been talking about. pres. trump: chief justice roberts, president carter, president bush, president clinton, fellow americans, and people of the world, thank you. we, the citizens of america are now joined in a national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people. together, we will determine the course of america and the world for many, many years to come.
