i think three inaugural balls compared to ten for the last obama inincoauguratioinaugurati.ade was pack tors and stuff and i love tractors more than anybody else you know but there were empty stands in part because people didn't want to sit in the rain for hours and hours and hours and watch tractors. the musical acts who they booked were like d.j. drums and, you know, dancers and stuff. irish dancers and tap dancers. there is nothing wrong with that. it makes for a small inaugur inaugurati inauguration. the biggest ever was barack obama in 2009. that's these pictures. that makes sense. the country was unified against the out going administration even if you hadn't voted for barack obama, here was the nation's first african american president. ginormous, biggest ever. for the 2009 inauguration, they raised more money than ever. $53 million to pay but they spent it because it was huge. it was the biggest event ever in washington. one of the things we noted early on this past year about the trump inauguration is that even though it was comparatively modest, it just wasn't that

that claim includes the last three months of the obama administration since his inauguration, the bureaur statistics which how we measure those things which is how the president used to say before he was president that he doesn't trust those numbers shows there's been 1.8 million jobs created which would make it the slowest gain since 2010. with regard to wages they have been on their way up since 2014 and actually slowed during the first year under trump's administration. to talk more about this is bruce bart let, assistant secretary for economic policy in the george h.w. bush administration. also the author of truth matters, citizens guide separating facts from lies and stopping fake news in its tracks. bruce, the frustration may be there are things we should give the president credit for but we spend most of our time telling you what he said that wasn't true about the economy. the truth is there are fewer jobs created in the first year than the year before. how much of that has to do with the fact we've done well with jobs recently? we've gotten to a low unemployment rate? >> well, he

approval rating through the previous three presidents prior to and after the first inaugural address here. president obama2010 there was really no change after his speech. president bush in '02, his approval dropped two points and then president clinton in '94, his edged up four points. you have written an article for cnn.com you say the notion of this event will have a huge impact on political dynamics shaping washington or tell us where the president is going this year are far-fetched and very little a president can do to persuade his opponents to change their minds. his supporters don't need to be convinced. then you mention the trump effect. what do you mean and how might that play into this? >> the first part is just that a lot of the electorate is where the. that is modern politics and hard to convince the other side to change their minds. but with the trump effect, we have had a year where he has just said many, many things that are not true which are a stretch reality beyond limits. and so there is much of the public that doesn't believe any single statement that he makes. he doesn't have a lot of

president trump and former president obama have not spoken since trump's inauguration a year ago thisast words as they stood outside the capitol moments after president trump took office. it's unusual that the two presidents haven't communicated within 12 months. he has not talked to obama but has certainly talked a lot about obama. a lot about obama, including those tweets back in march, accusing him of wiretapping trump tower. maybe that whole wiretapping explains the incommunicado between the two presidents. >> president obama warned him about north korea. that as bad as you think north korea is, it's going to be worse. >> climate change. iran. >> and, of course, our current president doesn't have any interest in the climate issue even though today, again, is proving that 2017 was the warmest year on record. but what's really going on there is sometimes presidents want to score points on bullying who came before them. ronald reagan never reached out to jimmy carter at all. in fact, they unveiled the carter portrait in the white house and didn't invite carter. >> what? >> yeah. and,

inauguration, not the election, the most ingenuous thing for how markets work, the market was down 500 points, the market was up 500 points after donald trump was elected, went down 2000 points between obama'sation. we were in a financial crisis, there was a lot going on but the market was up 6% from election to election. it is not even close. stuart: 25, 723. how much room to go? >> a very expensive thing, that doesn't mean they are out of talk and risk management -- stuart: the dow can get 26. >> of course. it could be there monday. it starts getting a little expensive. i would be very bottom-up, very selective, active manager's market. stuart: thanks for joining us on a day like today. 613, you wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. back to my editorial, the president's folder remarks giving democrats ammunition, tammy bruce joins us now. this vulgarity, he is questioning whether the president is saying it as vulgar language, senator durbin said yes you did, it was full of hate. i say that gives them ammunition. >> no matter what the president will say or do, they have been for two years, calling him a racist, declaring him one thing or another that would inflame their base, the fact of

since obama came into office during his first year from inauguration day to this point in his presidency, it increased by 33%. the s&p 500 increased by 37% during the same time versus trump at 18%. and so, again, it is great that the stock market is doing well. it is not doing as well as it was in terms of growth under the first year of obama. >> sandra: so you are seeing and record stock market though. you are seeing a surge that we have never seen before, and a president that is talking about it going up from here. marc, i'll tell you what, i look at these wall street notes, and there are profits at major corporations, american companies, to back up the gains we have seeing. but i will ask you this -- i probably should have asked marc short this as well, is there a record with the president tying his policy wins so closely to the stock market when it is only one gauge of the economy? they could be a correction. honestly, that would still be healthy to see for the stock market. it would actually indicate a healthier rally. but if he is so closely aligning himself with the stock market,

these things can be misunitemisused it seems pretty clear that the obama administration was spying on trump people before the inauguration't that worry every american no matter what you think about trump? >> why does it not worry donald trump that the russians, according to the intelligence community tried to, and indeed did kind of infiltrate and undermine our democracy by what they did? that's the answer to the question to the discussion you just had. >> tucker: that's not an answer that's bawmper sticker. you defended robert mueller and i have been very slow to attack mueller and i'm going to cite him now. in the statement of the charges against general flynn, he says that flynn was on the phone with kislyak, the russian ambassador and other foreign officials they were saying we want to bring u.s. closer to both russia and israel. those are campaign promises that trump made. why is that an act of disloyalty against your country delay would justify surveillance? i don't understand. >> does it surprise you that the u.s. government might surveil the russian ambassador to the united states? >> tucker: no it doesn't. >> yo

. >> ten days before the inauguration of donald trump, on the same night president barack obama was giving his farewell address to the nation -- >> we have breaking news, and i want to go -- >> a team of cnn reporters broke a stunning story. >> we have all been working on this story. >> about america's new president. >> claims of russian efforts to compromise the president-elect, donald trump. >> the president-elect and outgoing president were both briefed on the dossier. >> they claim to have compromising personal and financial information about mr. trump. >> u.s. officials with direct knowledge told cnn trump had been warned russia could have something on him, and that was on surveillance that vladimir putin was able to collect on powerful people. >> was your concern russia could have leverage over the president of the united states? >> well, yes. >> and if they can compromise somebody, there's a term for it, compromise. >> we concentrated on other major chapters, the comey firing and the tower meeting and the money, and trump's past dealings with russia in his business, and seems nearly

you look at the previous three presidents before and after their first inaugural addresses and we can do that for you, president obama10 he saw no change in his approval rating and president bush in 2002 saw his approval rating drop by two points and president clinton in 1994 saw his approval rating tick up four points. does the state of the union speech, i should say, matter generally or in this new age of trump, does it really not make any difference? >> right now, we kind of get a state of the union address from president trump almost every day through his twitter feed. so the state of the union has sort of lost its luster the last few years even under president obama. these type of addresses, they really don't map out what the policy agendas are for each president because we already know what president trump's agenda is. it's to really focus on immigration and also to focus on trade. those are the two main agendas that he is put in place this year. right now, when it comes to the state of the union, i would have to agree with sarah in terms of, you know, not really attacking democrats but really focus on staying

inaugural. but some untruths are not at all trivial, such as the seminal untruths of the president's political career, the often repeated conspiracy about the birthplace of president obama. also not trivial are the equally pernicious fantasies about rigged elections and massive voter fraud, which are as destructive as the our inaccurate. to the effort to undermine confidence in the federal courts, federal law enforcement, the intelligence community in the free press, toth perhaps the most vexing untruths of all, the supposedly hoax at the heart of special counsel robert mueller's russian investigation. to be very clear, to call the russian matter a hoax as the president has done so many times is a falsehood. we know the attacks orchestrated by the russian government during the election were real. they constitute a great threat to both american sovereignty and to our national security. it is in the interests of every american to get to the bottom of this matter wherever the investigation leads. ignoring or denying the truth about hostile russian intentions towards the united states leaves us vulnerable to future tax. we were told by our intelligence agencies that these a

obama more on his collective policies. and, yet, i packed up all of thigh kids and went to his inauguration. cause i love obama and his policies but because i love america. i think this is a time, the state of the union is a time when people come together and i think this shows a real lack of tolerance. steve: no kidding. brian: that number will grow but i don't think it's going to be a big story by the time it comes up. especially if they can get a deal funding the government. at least a two week cr to postpone. maybe the heads are too hot right now and maybe disagree to fund the government for two more weeks and go back to negotiating. steve: stay tuned. 6:11 in new york city on this martin luther king holiday and jillian joins us. jillian: i'm passing along a message twitter the glasses make you look dapper. jesse from phoenix. there you go. starting with disturbing video showing the moment a police officer is nearly run down by a car in times square.

like lying about the crowd size at the inauguration but ticked through really important untruths pasht of donald trump's past and present. the lie about barack obama not being born in the united states. the lie about massive voter fraud across the country calling into question the very institution that our democracy relies on to be able to have a people governored by elected representatives and saying that the russia investigation by bob mueller is a hoax, jeff flake portrayed that as one of the greatest lies that donald trump has told over the last year. >> i'm sure if the president was watching that would be the part that would jump out at him and bother him the most. this wasn't a defense of the press as we thought it might be going in. this was a defense of truth, jeff flake standing up for truth. >> i thought, not just defense of the truth but the need for a shared truth, for shared facts across the country from elected representatives to the people that they represent because that's the only way you can move forward in a democracy. and what struck me, reberg ka berg and i want you in this conversation right now, he was telling people inside

white house reporters, arguing implausibly that many more people witnessed trump's inauguration than president obama'skellyanne conway offered this explanation. >> sean spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts. >> that kicked off the year of friction between the white house and the press, which has helped feed an uneasy sense that we, as a country, are more divided than we have been for decades, if not longer. over the next hour, we'll look back over the last year and ahead to the next. nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker. katty kay, beyond 100 days that will appear on pbs starting tuesd tuesday, and rich lauer. we'll talk about candidate trump and the promises and whether he has been able to make good on them or not. >> donald j. trump is calling on a complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. the tax relief will be concentrate d on the working an middle class. >> i will be the greatest jobs president that god has ever created. >> save medicare, medicaid and social security without cuts. have to do it. >> i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be pres
