kennedy: jake tapper cares about feeling. his organization has been mocked since it released part of the flimsy folder. trump took a shot at buzzfeed. a site known more for bait. instead of inflicting mortal harm on 45, it pitted news organizations against one another by posting about tea parties, buzze buzzfeed drowneds own credibility. then he took the high road with salve and sweet cuddle as journalists jim acosta continue to engage with the president-elect. it will be fun to watch, but bad for the ultimate goal of getting truth and transparency. >> with freedom comes responsibility. kennedy: all the peter parkers and jimmy olsons should drink from the cup responsibly so they don't actually become the story. welcome to it, i'm kennedy. trump and the media are in a scrum over a steamy russian dossier. an has not even been sworn in yet. what does that mean for the next four years? let me ask dana perino. she has went in middle of these battles in between the media and the president. so you know this all too well. what did th

that's where we find jake tapper and dana bash. jake, it's going to be a lively two hours there. >> reporter: that's right. crowds are beginning to fill the national hall here all the way down to the washington national monument. these events will serve as something of a tribute to one of america's greatest attributes and that's the peaceful transition of power today will feature three doors down, lee greenwo greenwood, right now there are all these citizen performers going on at nearby, high schools and the like. >> that's right they're trying to make this sort of as accessible as they can by local washington washingtononians, there are going to be the lee greenwoods but also the staples which tends to happen at inaugurations the morman tabernacle choir. donald trump sounds like he would want the best of the best, there's going to be a girl that's going to sing she has a top three album at age ten. seems fitting. >> reporter: and seems fitting, democrats attend to attract bigger stars when it comes to performances, but the performa

. >> house speaker paul ryan dabbed with jake tapper. that may be a headline. >>> many republicans on the fence about the vote in the house. some concern about the cost of repealing the affordable care act and there is no one single plan yet to replace it. straight repeal would affect coverage for millions of americans and give tax cuts to the rich who are paying for some provisions with two surcharges. >> i will have to go back and find that. >>> there is no detail plan to replace obamacare, proposals may show us what it would look like. first, cost. obamacare subsidizes premiums based on income. lower incomes equal higher subsidy. the gop favors reimbursing with tax credits based on age. so younger people would get less. second, the sick. one of the cornerstones of the obamacare is protecting those with pre-existing conditions. this is why they did this. the gop plan will likely protect them as well, but only if they maintained continuous coverage. that forces the sick and uninsured to look for plans in state high risk pools which have
