including the words carnage, bleed, stolen, trapped, disrepair, and sad. trump took the office of the presidency with 32% approval rating, the lowest approval rating of any incoming president in recent u.s. history. on saturday morning at 9:40 a.m., "the new york times" tweeted a photo comparing the crowd size from trump's inauguration to that of president obama's 2009 inauguration, which drew a record 1.8 million people. in response on saturday, the new white house press secretary sean spicer angrily stormed into the press room and lied multiple times about trump's inauguration, falsely claiming more people had attended or watched on tv than any other inauguration in u.s. history. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period, both in person and

around the globe. even "the new york times" printed a photograph showing a misrepresentation of the crowd in the original tweet, in their paper, which showed the full extent of the support, depth, existed. that these attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong. amy: that was the new white house press secretary sean spicer, who also lied about the number of people who rode the d.c. metro friday and whether friday was the first time in u.s. history that floor coverings had been used on the national mall. he immediately left the podium after reading the press statement without taking any questions from reporters. on sundays "meet the press," chuck todd confronted counselor to the president kellyanne conway about these lies. >> don't be so overly dramatic about it, chuck. what you're saying it's a falsehood and they're giving sean spicer -- he gave alternative facts to that. >> alternative facts?

alternative facts for the five fax he uttered? they were just not true. alternative facts are not facts, they are full suits. amy: president trump himself attacked the press during the speech at the cia headquarters on saturday. pres. trump: as you know, i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. amy: that was donald trump speaking before the wall of the fallen. those in the cia who have died around the world. many attacking him for this political speech, assessing in a rolesize of his crowd. among those who criticized and was former cia director brendan. on sunday morning, trump also attacked saturday's protesters, tweeting -- "watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! why didn't these people vote?

celebs hurt cause badly." in fact, while trump won the electoral college, he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million. in a follow-up tweet, trump said -- "peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. even if i don't always agree, i recognize the rights of people to express their views." president trump signed his first presidential documents friday, which included a proclamation for a new national day of patriotism and an executive order making the prompt repeal of the affordable care act his administration's top official priority. trump also signed legislation to freeze the implementation of new regulations passed by president obama in recent weeks. on the official white house friday, website was completely replaced with nearly every reference to climate change erased from the site. the only remaining reference to climate change on the new whitehouse.gov website appears

on the first of his six "issues" pages, which reads -- "president trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the climate action plan." the trump administration also took down the white house website's pages on civil rights and a fact sheet on the violence against women act. the civil rights page was replaced by a page entitled "standing up for our law enforcement community," which calls for more law enforcement, building a border wall, and ending sanctuary cities. it also reads -- "the dangerous anti-police atmosphere in america is wrong. the trump administration will end it." the senate foreign relations committee is expected to vote this afternoon on whether to confirm longtime exxonmobil ceo rex tillerson for secretary of state. many lawmakers and environmental activists have expressed deep concerns over his potential confirmation. in park city, utah, and the

sundance film festival, i questioned former vice president al gore about the nomination of the former ceo of exxonmobil rex tillerson. financedobil has climate denial. every year they say they have stopped and then when the funding reports come out at the end of the year, we find they have continued. i think what exxonmobil has done is deeply unethical. amy: the senate confirmed the first two trump cabinet members on friday -- retired general james "mad dog" mattis as defense secretary and retired general john kelly as secretary of homeland security. the confirmation of the rest of trump's cabinet has been delayed because many of the nominees failed to submit the required ethics and financial disclosure forms to congress in time for them to be reviewed by the

office of government ethics ahead of the scheduled hearings. the confirmation process has also been slow because trump's cabinet is the richest in u.s. history, consisting largely of white male millionaires and billionaires whose array of , financial ties pose unprecedented potential conflicts of interest. in international news, longtime gambian leader yahya jammeh agreed to step down friday, averting a political crisis in the african nation. west african troops and tanks had entered gambia in the event jammeh continued to refuse to relinquish power. he'd been the leader of gambia for 22 years. on friday, the incoming elected president adama barrow said -- "the rule of fear has been vanished from the gambia for good." barrow had been inaugurated on thursday in the gambian embassy

in neighboring senegal as jammeh clung to power. the pentagon says a u.s. airstrike and u.s. drone strikes in idlib, syria, killed more than 100 people friday. u.s. officials say the victims of airstrike were al qaeda fighters. but the syrian opposition group jabhat fateh al-sham says the airstrike hit its camp and that the victims were not al qaeda fighters. jabhat fateh al-sham is the new name for the group al-nusra, which says they broke from al qaeda in 2016. the airstrike was one of the final military acts of obama's presidency. and in seattle, an activist is in the hospital recovering after being critically shot during a protest against a speech by white nationalist breitbart news editor milo yiannopoulos, hosted at the university of washington. the 32-year-old activist, who has not been named, is an anti-racist organizer and a member of the industrial workers of the world.

milo has faced protests and multiple university speeches in recent months. the shooter was released by police on saturday after he claimed the shooting was in self-defense. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in one of the largest days of protest in u.s. history, millions took to the streets one day after the inauguration saturday, of donald trump. the largest protest was the women's march in washington , where it is believed more than 500,000 people packed the streets. according to crowd scientists at manchester metropolitan university in britain, the crowd was roughly three times the size of the audience at donald trump's inauguration a day earlier. women-led marches took place in over 600 locations spread across seven continents, including antarctica.

in addition to washington, d.c., massive protests also took place in boston, chicago, denver, los angeles, madison, wisconsin, new york, oakland, portland, oregon, st. paul, san francisco, and seattle. according to one count, as many as 4.6 million people took part in the global day of action. we begin today's show with highlights from the speeches at the women's march on washington. >> my name is america ferrera.

amy: alicia keys singing "girl on fire" at the women's march on washington. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. from parkadcasting city, utah, where there was a major march, the historic protest worldwide in over 600 cities, towns, and hamlets came one day after president donald trump's inauguration. pres. trump: this american carnage stops right now and stops right now. 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 america first.y an america first.

every decision on trade, on 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. [applause] pres. trump: protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. alliancesinforce old and form new ones and unite the civilized world against radical islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth. amy: that is an excerpt of donald trump's inaugural address

as the 45th president of the united states. did aday, democracy now! special broadcast from washington, d.c., and featured a round table of analysis of trump's address. we spoke to consumer advocate ralph nader, author naomi klein, and professor keeanga-yamahtta taylor, author of "from black lives matter to black liberation," investigative reporter allan nairn, and black lives matter co-founder alicia garza. we began with ralph nader. >> he is going to do a lot of things at once in the first 100 days, unlike barack obama who figured he could only handle the democratic congress with health care, he is going to try to go on all fronts. that is perilous for him, obviously, but it is also very careless for the democratic party, which now is the minority in the congress. that means he is going to get the nominee to the supreme court out fast, he is going to start changing the tax system up fast, he's going to start rolling back health and safety and other regulations fast by all kinds of executive action in congress.

and so what we are to see here is a challenge to the stamina of the citizenry, specially the majority of the people who voted against him. and whether they organize in every congressional district, justin gage in important but short-lived resistance, is a real question. we have to build sustained power in every congressional district to use that huge leverage over congress 535 people whose names we know, as in opposition to what the trump administration plans to do. he is way in over his neck. he doesn't know how to run the government. he doesn't like to work hard. he doesn't like details. he doesn't like to read a briefing memos or be briefed, so we're going to see a huge delegation of authority to his nominees, to his cabinet secretaries, etc., and we will see a new media emerge, which is

and histing media, public relations are to 20 million, 30 million people that tap into that account. finally, i think what we're going to have to do something to get over the yuck factor. the liberals disagree with conservatives back home on certain issues -- reproductive rights, etc., gain control -- but there's a huge left/ right worker alliance. as he alluded to, they all bleed the same way. as i would expand, they all get ripped off the same way by the health care industry, by the utilities, by the employers, by the low wages. that is the alliance for the future against donald trump and his billionaires. amy: naomi klein? >> listening to this america, this defiant america first-ism, picking up on what ralph said about how this is tapping into

the failures and the uses of the democratic party, you know, he is speaking directly to people's feeling of being disappeared and neglected and so on. a veryhink until there's clear alternative, that will continue to resonate, despite all of the obvious hypocrisies that we had been delineating all day. it does make me think about something else, though. i have been involved in the free trade battles for a couple of decades now, you know, taking on -- going back to the original free trade agreement with canada and the nafta and the creation of the wto and all of that. but i was never comfortable with the way in which particularly the u.s. labor movement used i did not usesm enough the linkage of international ism. including employing easy,

xenophobic language about the chinese and opposing these deals on the basis of this easy nationalism. unfortunately, that, i think, moral failure, that moral failure to stand up for principles of international workers rights, international environment standards, instead of just this easy hyper nationalism, is now something that trump can and is picking up. we are seeing it right now. some of these messages are not that different than message we heard from unions. i know i'm not going to make some people happy saying that, but it is too familiar. and we can't move forward making the same mistakes. it is wonderful to see the internationalism in the response to trump, and we're going to need to be an international movement because this is not just something that is happening in the u.s., right? this is happening in the midst of austerity programs around the world. amy: and donald trump -- he acknowledged he was begin to the world, not just the united

dates. >> one thing i did like in his speech was that "now arrives the hour of action." in thing he has appropriated a lot of pseudo-populist slogans, i say we take that applied to our movements. ?my: keeanga-yamahtta taylor >> you can see the move from the dog whistle around racism. but i think he is also trying to do something interesting, which is to try to include african-americans into this "america first" by talking how, you know, we've got the crime infested inner cities, but we're going to save them and they are americans like the rest of them and we need to include them in our efforts to put down radical islamic terrorist in our efforts to build the wall and keep the mexicans out. and i think that there is a

basic incoherence at the heart of that, which is that the policies that trump is pursuing domestically will have a in theirn at impact harm on african-americans. who are inle disproportionate need of state ,rotection, of a public sector that the efforts to subvert that, to get rid of those types of regulatory protections but also those types of social will have arams, devastating impact on black people in particular. and so the effort to sort of unite people around this false idea of america first by attacking immigrants, by attacking muslims, is built on sand, in some ways, and it is built on incoherence.

decline? >> it is interesting that his chosen model for this is the military. that is what he is holding up as the model of going to war and overwhelmingly against muslim countries, and the sort of heavily armed united america against all enemies. and i think that is the plan. that is the game plan. amy: allan, president trump just gave his 15 minute inaugural address. your thoughts? >> it is the most substantive inaugural address i can remember hearing. usually they are full of platitudes and this was packed with political program. and it shows how serious this

guy is. this movements is. we're really facing a national emergency now. it is not a joke. he is not incompetent. of the most --m consisting of the most radical political party in american history, arguably since 1860. the current republicans. who believe int oligarchy unbound without limits. a lot of whom, a lot of individuals and their look to be very confident at their assigned -- competent of their assigned theirf dismantling respective department says serve the poor working people as opposed to the rich. and in that speech, which was a collection of the most severe

moments from his sub speeches, you really felt again some of the fascist undertones that ran through his campaign. i mean, this was a real signal. people better organized now because of two now in the course of this campaign, you know, american progressives have not done very well. it was remarkable that sanders he didfar as he did, but not make it over the line -- which is all that come in a sense, all that counts in the end. trump could not be stopped. for final want to ask thoughts on this and just read, summit has compiled a list of words that were used for the first time in u.s. and not real address. i will just read a few of them. bleed, carnage, depletion,

ripped, rested, sad, stealing, tombstones. just a random list. the list is much longer, words that are not been used for, and what of those words indicate or gesture at is a more explicit violence than has ever been -- i mean, one could argue in inaugural address is always about a certain kind of nationalism, but it is an implicit kind of violence. this, the words here, are somehow laid bare what american power trump would like american power to be. so your final thoughts on that some alicia, and then allan? >> i think the inaugural address made it really clear what merica, trump wants to "make great again." what feels clear for me, he does not have a mandate, that the words that we would use, right,

absolutely would be resistance, defiant.ble, disrupt, but i think there's also very much words that are being used today like solidarity and love and resistance and care. and i am carrying that into the women's march to mark, quite frankly, where there will be at minimum, 250,000 people who have traveled from all over the world to show their resistance, but also to show that we are -- our futures are connected with one another. that is what is carrying me through this incredibly sad day. and i think what is important about the list that you have generated is that it makes it really clear what their agenda is. they are masters at trying to mask what it is that they actually want to do.

and so we should take this as an indication of the america that they want to see and use it as our compass to move away from and to orient all of our work around. nermeen: allan nairn? >> as they say, every person contains all students -- multitudes. within everyone, there's this capacity for tremendous nobility and also the capacity to do horrible things, to commit the most atrocious crimes. and trump has, like other demagogues, has this ability to of manyside the souls people and pull out the worst. but it doesn't have to be that way. not only theiris own worst instincts. you can reach inside that same person and pull out the best.

, and to a person does large extent depends upon the situation that is presented -- the conditions they're living under, the challenges that are put to them, trump has put a certain set of challenges, particularly to white americans, and he has gotten is very ugly response. as some very simple things happen done by the bureaucratic corporate democratic party, and they have presented a more constructive agenda that simply responded to forle's needs for work, salary, we would have had an entirely different outcome in the election and would not now be facing the very real threat on the street of perhaps vigilante violence, more racist ,iolence, all of these nemesis
