. >> white house correspondent halle jackson. you saw on the front row he is in d.c. in washington white house reporter for "the washington post" ashley parker and chief business correspondent ali velshi. i have to say your piece just landed on the washington post website and it's become a must read around here tonight. the first days in trump's white house. fury, tumult and a reboot. i am stunned at the number of people who were willing to dish to you and give you detailed as you put it, among many, many interviews. none of whom wanted to be identified. this two paragraph portion about the debacle on saturday. by most standards, spicer's statement did not go well. he appeared tired and nervous and an ill-fitting gray pin stripe soot. he gave faulty facts and figures which were presented to him by the inaugural committee. many critics sean spicer went too far and compromised integrity. in trump's mind, his attack on the news media was not forceful enough. the president was also bothered that he read at times from a printed statement. ashley, is this the way it's going

before we hear from house speaker paul ryan as heoves to the front, nbc's halle jackson is where the action is. she has been at capitol hill all day. and here to help us make sense of it, steve kornacki. halle, let's start with you. speaker ryan about to make his address. it's not quite the triumphant return he was expecting. headlines eviscerating his party and his leadership today, now the house is backing off after a tweet from donald trump about the ethics move that they made. wh's going on? >> reporter: a couple of thing here. i don't know that 36 hours ago you would have had people predicting in fact the headline coming into today would have been flip, flop, flip, if you will, on this independent ethics office maneuvering. so i think that that sort of caught republicans offguard clearly given the fact they have reversed their position on it. it is not necessarily the headline house republican leadership wants to see. i do suspect wn speaker rn addresses the rest of congress and addresses the house he will be talking about what the priority is for house republicans. that is repea

halle jackson was at the sean spicer briefing this afternoon. halle had a moment where she asked some questions of sean spicer about whether the trump administration is targeting the families of terrorists. >> the president has previously indicated that he would encourage the targeting of families of terror suspects. is that still his current position? >> when did he say that. >> on fox. he said the other thing with terrorists you have to take out their families. >> i think he has been clear when it comes to seeking out isis and other terrorists he is going to lean on direct or pompeo and general mattis and seek their opinion. >> halle's question was about civilians being targeted by the administration in anti-terror raid. and zeke's question was about al acty's daughter. let me ask you, is the president's mission to kpil and target american citizens even minor just because their family members are terrorists? >> no american citizens will ever be targeted. >> just an hour and a half ago. halle jackson was asking the questions. let's bring her in.

nbc's halle jackson is outside trump tower. halle, can you tell us first of all whether we've heard from the president-elect on any of this? >> reporter: we haven't craig. we have reached out to the president-elect's team. the transition as well, for any kind of comment or reaction to what has been breaking news that as you know developed over the last 40 minutes or so here. nothing yet. i wouldn't be surprised if maybe we say a tweet from the president-elect later today. if we get a statement we will bring it to you asap. >> what about this phone call between james clapper and donald trump? >> right, that happens overnight. before we get to that craig a quick reminder as we talk about this new oig investigation coming out. a couple of moments on the campaign trail that stand out, remember for months on the trail the president-elect, when he was a candidate called for an investigation into the investigation. the day that the news about -- the additional news on october 28th that broke about this inquiry or this review from jame

nbc's halle jackson has more. >> reporter: at the white house, a reset after a rocky start on his first full white house work day, president trump most notably backing out of the transpacific partnership that would have made it easier to trade with allies to counter china. >> we have been talking about this for a long time. >> the move winning praise from bernie sanders and a labor leader in west virginia. >> i'm 100% behind donald trump for the renegotiation of the treaty. that's not the only one. >> an aide said the tpp move is the first step in renegotiating big trade deals including nafta with canada and mexico. >> at the appropriate time. >> also implementing a hiring freeze for federal workers and reinstating a tell us to ban recipients of foreigned a from suggesting or providing abortions. business ledders from places like dow, lockheed martin and ford. >> the president was engaged was an under statement. >> a stark contrast to the petty over the first 72 hours with the president harping on the size of his inaugural crowd and pressed about his own inaccurate claim. >> it's demora

halle jackson let me bring you into the conversation if we can for a moment here. we talked about infrastructure for a moment. what are some of the other legislative priorities for this incoming congress? how do those priorities jive with the priorities of the president-elect or do they? >> reporter: well i think some of them certainly do,craig, based on what donald trump talked about on the campan trags and the transition. besides at fordable care act, tax reform is a priority not just for republican members of congress but for the president-elect as well. i think you will also see movement or at least the beginning of some movement potentially on immigration, that is something that donald trump campaigned on, it was really the foundation of the last 18 months for him, so i would be surprised if his key liaison to capitol hill, his sort of main guy on the hill, vice president-elect mike pence didn't bring that up. as you know pence will be here on the hill tomorrow, sort of a competing meeting i guess you could say with president obama, talking with democrats, vic

halle jackson is there. breaket down. why did house republicans change their minds on making these changes to the house ethics office? how is that playing out now at this hour? >> reporter: frankly, kates, it was a very sort of quick reversal. in the span of 24 hours you saw what a lot of folks saw as a surprise move from house republicans and 18 hours later the reversal of that move. you asked what triggered it, what led to it. let's lay out what happened. house republicans went into a secret ballot meeting to in effect call it what it issings gut the office of congressional etdics. this is an independent ethical house committee. and instead put it under the oversight of the house itself. to a lot of folks looking at it it was the independent committee being changed to be overseen by those people who it is assigned to watchdog. members of the public you saw outrage. donald trump also weighed in. he tweeted about this this morning and he did not actually say he didn't like the move. he did not like the timing. that is wha

halle jackson. >> thanks saen. two questions. >> yeah. >> first one, not the belabor a point here but you said that the president believese, his belief there is widespread voter fraud. only four days ago did he get the power of the presidency to do something it. why not say he will investigate if he believes and the administration's position is there was massive voter fraud? >> he said 3 to 5 million people could have votedingly based on the studies he has seen but he is clear he won the election based on the 306 electoral votes at hgot. we are here on day two. i think let's n prejudge what we may or may not do in the future. >> if he lost, would he be upset? >> of course. who wouldn't be upset if they lost. no, no, the election is held within our country with electoral votes. he won the most of any republican since reagan. he is comfortable with the breadth he got are the american people and the nine of 13 battleground states, the 2600 counties. he is have very pleased with that. yes? >> one more piece on a second

for more on what it means, let's bring in white house correspondent halle jackson. >> good evening to you. you're talking about one of the very first executive orders signed by president trump. it gives more flexibility to states and federal agencies to roll back certain regulations put in place by the affordable care act. so what does this actually do? well, it could affect the penalty for people who are uninsured. but at this point, it appears mostly symbol symbolic. it lets the president point to action on day one to make good on a fundamental campaign the bigger question here is what doesn't this do? and the answer is pretty simple. this does not repeal and replace the affordable care act because that is up to congress as you know, not the president. we expect a lot more activity on monday on executive orders. both president trump putting new ones in place, possibly for example on trade or immigration and ending one that is former president obama enacted. jose? >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. chuck todd will have much more on the new president and the challenges ahead tomo

confirmed, get in their respective department agencies and get with their staff and provide a few -- halle jackson. >> not to belabor a point here, but you said the president believes there is widespread voter fraud but only four days did he get the president stoi do something about it. why not definitively say that will investigate, if he believes, there was massive voter fraud. >> he said 3 to 5 million people could have voted illegally. based on the studies he has seen. but he is very clear he won the election based on the 306 electoral votes he got. we are here on day two. let's not prejudge what we may or may not do in the future. >> if he lost, would he be upset? >> of course. who wouldn't be? >> i mean about the -- >> the election is held in our country with electoral votes. he won overwhelmingly with 306 electoral votes. the most since raeg grab. regular /* reagan. he is very, very pleased with that.he is very, very pleased w that. just quickly, the pipelines. on keystone. when you look at dakota as well. given the president's last business ties, disclosure shows he did have some stake in

nbc's halle jackson is in washington, d.c. halle, trump's account of the election night, obviously pretty different from the one that he gave immediately after the election, what do you make of this discrepancy? >> well not even -- yeah, it was immediately after the election. and recently as just a couple of weeks ago. he was saying something, a little bit different than what you just saw in that tweet about what he thought his chances were on election night. this is from december 13th. listen. >> so i got -- i got the bad news from my daughter. and i said, that's too bad. so i go and see my wife, baby, i'll tell you what, we're not going to win tonight, because the polls have come out and, you know, i always used to believe in those exit polls. i don't believe in them anymore. >> seeing a different tune online, ari, could be in order we've ben donald trump to tweet to distract before. that's something the president-elect has done as a campaigner, and even throughout the transition. so this may be a way for him to try to turn t

for more, halle jackson at the white house. so halle, this came on friday, the president made a brief statement then and i think we sort of learned over the weekend as this was applied at one airport after another over the country, we really only learned then exactly what this entailed. what's the white house saying right now? any regrets over the roll out of this? >> reporter: no, and you heard that forcefully from sean spicer here not too long ago, listen, the president said over the weekend and reiterated again late yesterday that he believes this is not a muslim ban. this is not a test of religion that came out of that statement and as the president himself said on saturday himself as well. how this is being perceived in the muslim world. the administration will say there are plenty of muslim majority countries who are not affected by the immigration portion of the ban. the portion of the ban that affects those seven nations that include, yemen, sudan, others. the administration will point out they believe that this is not a

lather when he was pressed by halle jackson and kiss ten welker, i noticed he changed his ng lap. he said illegal voting could happen. did you notice that, too? >> to be fair i think he was trying to find his way in that news conference. i think he made it clear when pressed. and this was a very good question about if you believe this to be the case why there wasn't an investigation that he had already called for this looking into this? i think they would like to put this idea to bed. they wanted the focus to be on jobs. they had signed executive orders today. but this conversation put him in the heart of another pickle. it goes back to dozens of other statements donald trump made. he said thing like the murder rate in this country is the highest it has been in 45 years. that's not true. he also said illegal immigrants, among other things -- that crime -- that illegal immigrants are responsible for crime that is through the roof. and he said quote many people may have seen the san bernardino bombers for example, behind the scenes as they were building those bombs. no law enforceme

understand, from our colleagues they announced today was broken last night by kristen welker and halle jacksone announced a new trade rep. he was the deputy reagan trade representative and ronald reagan was in favor of all of those trade deals and not in favor of any of the trade positions of donald trump. >> andrea, you take all these things together and this is donald trump flexing his muscles even before he's inaugurated. he's trying to demonstrate strength on hey, ford motor company, you better not have any plants in mexico, and gm i'm watching you guys, too. at the same time his tweet regarding this house ethics office on saying hey, i didn't like the timing of this, where he's able to exert some power via twitter, that we haven't been able to see from other presidents. barack obama was the first president to have a twitter account, and he usually ended up doing it to make jokes or say things with the official account but not influence any type of policy. this is the strength of donald trump in bringing a lot of change and almost being a disruptive force to corporate america and house rep

halle jackson was

joining us from trump tower in new york city, nbc news correspondents halle jackson.t there. there was some interesting, i guess walls put in place between trump and his company, but others see them as completely really kind of invisible. >> maybe like swiss cheese and not an actual wall. we are talking about for example the head of the government and independent agency task oversees these kinds of ethics concerns for the federal government. so trump laid out these steps he is going to take. the president-elect talked about what he wants to do, what he is going to be doing along with his lawyers to make sure he is xrating his business interests from his personal interests. so, for example, he is creating a trust. not a blind trust but a trust for his assets and relinquishing and hiring an adviser to sign off that could race personal conflict of interest questions and instituted a plan for no new foreign deals for the trump organization and domestic deals signed off from that adviser. outside experts are looking at this and saying this is not enough. this is just not m

hall in new york. the united states' first capital. since then, we've seen plenty of firsts. andrew jackson'suguration was the first to happen on the steps of the capitol in 1829. most presidents choose to take the oath with their hand on the bible. but they don't have to. john quincy adams was the first to take the oath on a constitutional law book instead. and here's the first film of an inauguration. it was william mckinley's ceremony in 1901. this photo captures dwight d. eisenhower, the first and last president to be lasso during his inaugural parade so inaugurations are held on the capitol west front and follow a very prescribed order. including the oath of office at exactly noon. and while most inaugurations have been conducted with decorum, some have had their mishapps. vice president andrew johnson had too much to drink the night before abraham lincoln's second inauguration. johnson delivered a speech the next day, still drunk, embarrassing the president. >> that we shall pay any price. >> an electrical short caused john f. kennedy's podium to catch fire as cardinal richard cushing g
