there is a path for them across the north lawn of the white house. when they emerge to join the reviewing stand. i don't know if we still have our camera up near the canadian embassy to show the parade route. and to see what the follow on is behind here. there we go. so that's what's coming. and that's part of what they will review from said stand. >> okay. >> that's a parade. >> i know a parade. >> oh, that's the nypd emerald society. look at that. of all -- >> what do you call those hats, brian? >> big furry black ones. >> what? >> big furry black hats. >> generic. >> it's a technical term. >> it's generic. >> this is -- this is just the start of what will be a long evening for the new president and the first lady. the most inaugural balls ever in the modern era actually in total were the first bill clinton inauguration, 14 separate inaugural balls. there will be three tonight. two of them at the washington convention center, and then one in a different building at one of the most beautiful spaces in washington. the national building museum which w

welcome to the white house north lawn, which will come a familiar place for you, i think, for the next few years. let me begin with this question. the presidency is about choices so i'm curious why president trump suppose to send out his press secretary to litigate a provable falsehood when it comes to a small and petty thing like inaugural crowd size. i guess my question to you is why do that? >> chuck, the president did many things yesterday and the day before that are very meaningful to america. he signed executive orders to stop obamacare and all of its problems. many people have -- millions of people have lost their insurance, their doctors, their plans. so that stops right now. he is going to replace it with something more free market. and on this matter of crowd size, for me the most quantitifiable points of americas should be what just happens a few months ago that brought him here, the states he won, the 2,600 counties, the 200 countries that went to president trump and the fact that 29, 30 million women voted for donald trump for president. somebody should cover their voices

thank you, john roberts leading our coverage there on the north lawn. thank you, sir. >> mr. trump keeping with tradition with the inaugural prayer service just as so many presidents who come before him. and live from the national cathedral, carl, what can you tell us about the service? >> thanks, shannon, well, this is a historical issue. every president since george washington has been coming to a prayer service the day after the inaugural, and today, it was just the same. donald trump and the first family entered the church a little over an hour and a half ago, as did the vice-president mike pence and his family. the service lasted about an hour and 15 minutes or so. some interfaith service that had a variety of offerings from a variety of faiths. one in particular was bishop harry jackson, who is from the faith, the hope christian church just outside of washington in beltsville, maryland and sort of summarized all the prayers and good wishes for the new commander-in-chief and the vice-president. listen. >> almighty, ever living god, ruler of all things in heaven and earth

white house correspondent kristen welker is on the north lawn and mark murray is joining us. kristen, i want to start with you. let's hit off on these pipeline executive orders. what can you tell us, what do you know and what does it mean? >> we have been told according to a white house official, our colleague peter alexander reporting, that president trump at 11 a.m. will sign an executive order which will allow the keystone and dakota pipeline orders forward. how many jobs will it actually be impacting, just to remind folks about the debate about all of this. environmentalists who were opposed to the construction of both of these projects arguing they could ultimately hurt the environment, they were blocked under the obama administration. candidate trump had consistently said he was going to change course and now it feels he's following through with that promise. the company that oversees construction of the dakota access pipeline, energy transfer company, is a company that he had shares in a number of months ago, although public filings show he still has a if yfew lef ther

, but they have been loud enough that you can hear them from here on the north lawn. the other thing today is that the white house is strongly defending its policy. in a new statement they say it is the right and duty of the president to do everything in his legal and constitutional power to protect the american people. it goes on to refer to saturday's ruling. this is the more narrow judge stepping in and forbidding the deportations. on that they ksay it does not undercut the president's order. all halted admissions will remain halted. all restricted travel will remain prohibited and the executive order is a vital action. the order remains in place. so you get the tone of that very strongly defending this brand-new policy that has generated a lot of questions and concerns. the trump administration saying this is what they're sticking with. richard? >> and no pivot as you are noting there, kelly. thank you so much. >>ppreciate kelly. we showed you that map earlier. lots ofprotests across the country. a number of cities we are watching throughout america. nbc steve pat

his message is he's taking action. >> kristen welker from the north lawn, thank you. >>> over to andreahell across town in washington, for a last word. andrea, specifically on the week that was, this first week we have witnessed in the life of the trump administration. >> well you've touched on it, stephanie ruhle and you last night if he discussed about the dow breaking 20,000 and focuseded on achievements instead of the comments at the cia, the comment about alternative facts that kellyanne conway made on "meet the press" and this morning a tweet could be repaired in an hour-long conversation with the mexican president and seems they're trying to get that back on back. we strong "wall street journal" against taking on the mexican president given what to come to the alternative to the weak mexican president after the aggressive posture of donald trump, so they've got to find their balance but he's got to also figure out what belongs on twitter, whether it's comments reacting to television news shows that he's just seen or foreign policy. he's got to one would hope get that all together

let's start with hallee jackson right outside the white house on the north lawn. i was struck by a question you asked in the briefing. you are talking a vow, a campaign idea donald trump had while he was campaigning talking about he thinks that the families of terrorists should be targeted. this is news again today because of that strike in yemen and news that an 8-year-old girl was also killed in the attack, a family member of a terrorist or an alleged terrorist at the very least. you asked sean spicer about this and he seemed to make a little bit of news with a question that was a follow-up to yours, right? >> yeah, katie, interesting because secretary sean spicer i would say demurred when asked about the campaign statement that the president made in december of 2015 indicating that he would encourage or permit the targeting of families of terror suspects. spicer said that the president now when asked if this was his current policy would defer to his cia directan on that question. but he said no american would be targeted under president trump. this is something

kevin corke live on the north lawn. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is here. what did chelsea manning, what did it mean? what kind of damage do you do, the leak? >> in 2010 the afghan war diary was leaked. incident reports outside of afghanistan. my contact inside the intelligence community say that after the documents were published the taliban and went on a killing spree. if they saw a description of someone with short dark hair working with the u.s. government, they just went out and killed everyone with short dark hair. they were not this terminating at all in terms of the target. that is -- people who are working with the u.s. government were killed but it made harder to recruit intelligence assets. this issue is addressed by tom cotton. >> i don't want to speak about specific cases in part because of the classification levels involved. i want to say that it caused serious national scaredy harm. what president obama has done today is going to cause harm as well. pick up the other side of the argument is for the application for chelsea manning. it says the

steve: white house correspondent kevin corke joins us live with the details from the north lawn where yesterday it was rainy and windy and today, kevin, it is, what? >> not too bad, actually. i can still -- i can see my breath a little bit but it's winter. obviously a much better day winter wise than yesterday. another busy day on tap as you pointed out. the president said to have a conversation with u.s. automakers, again, part of this idea of keeping jobs in the united states of america. part of an ambitious schedule that includes a meeting with his chief of staff reince priebus. they have had conversations back and forth trying to make sure they are not only on the same page in terms of the agenda but making sure they are communicating their ideas to the american people. let me tell u tell what you elss coming up. expected to sign executive order sometime around 11:00 this morning. speak with india's prime minister modi this afternoon. meeting with the cia director us a just pointed out mike pompeo finally confirmed yesterday and meeting with key leadership and meeting with senator

welcome to the white house north lawn that will become a familiar place for you, i think. the presidency is about choices, so i'm curious why president trump chose yesterday to send out his press secretary to essentially litigate a provable falsehood when it comes to a small and petty thing like inaugural crowd size. my question to you is why do that. >> the president did many things yesterday and the day before that are very meaningful to america. he signed executive orders to stop obama care and it's problems. millions of people lost their insurance, doctors, plans. that stops right now. he will replace it with something much more free market and patient-centric. for crowd size, i think the most quantifiable points of interest for america should billion what just happened a few months ago that brought him here, the states and counties that were for president obama that went to president trump, and the fact of how many women voted for trump. someone should cover their voices as well. i'm about things that are quantifiable and important, i don't think they're judged by cro

walkway for the president elect to head out to the viewing stand for the inaugural parade across the north lawn at the white house. leaders of american intelligence community seem to be concerned of the hallmark of a new commander in chief. mr. trump fiery comments about u.s. intel could do serious harm to the relationship between the intelligence community and the white house. it might also have implications around the world as well. christian fisher now live back at the studio with these details and in some way, kristin, unchartered waters. >> yeah, we are. john brenon gave exclusive interview and used it to blast the president elect. listen to this. >> if he doesn't have confidence in the intelligence community, what signals does that send to partners and allies as well as adversaries, mr. trump needs to be disciplined in what he does publicly. he's going to be in a few days time the most powerful person in the world in terms of sitting on top of the united states government and i think he has to recognize that his words do have impact. >> now, vice president elect mike pence was on fox news

seco live on the north lawn. any hope for an easy nomination process for the next president's cabinet picks are being quickly dashed. senate democrats are promising a fight on at least eight of president-elect trump's picks. democrats pledging to drag out several fights. >> it's going to be quiet in the cabinet room until springtime if senate democrats get their way. democratic minority leader chuck schumer. complex confirmation hearings designed to last until march. that means the 45th president may go months without about half of his cabinets. positions that require senate approval targeted for partisan reasons. present electronic is attempting to build his cabinet with nominees that would break keep promises and have made billions off the industries they would be tasked with regulating. republican leaders are quick to point out they helped president obama for his cabinet. a spokesman for mitch mcconnell saying "the senate confirmed seven of his nominees on day one and nearly all were confirmed in two weeks." s

. >> out here on the white house north lawn looking for the auto maker ceos. it is after 9:00 on the east coast here. presumably, they zigged when we zagged and they're already in the building. we have not seen them yet this morning. you mentioned that tweet from the president this morning. here it is again. the president tweeting out, in the 6:00 a.m. hour, we'll be meeting at 9:00 a.m. with top executives concerning jobs in america. i want new plants to be built here for cars sold here. the attendee list for the meeting, we are told, mary of general motors, mark fields of ford and sergio marchionne of fiat chrysler. presumably, all will be talking about the issue donald trump tweeted about this morning. presumably, they'll be figuring out how to deal with the tweeter in chief. this is something new in the arsenal of the presidency. it is a short-term stick, you know, that the bully pulpit can use in this day and age that we haven't seen before. we're going to watch and see what this meeting brings today. we'll wait and see what the ceos have to say on the no

how does that affect because i remember them saying from the north lawn to the white house dismissed the legislative achievement that came out every time they described obamacare. what happens now? >> guest: we will see what happens now. but i think what you described indicates how lasting this is going to be. if they believe that the bill was failing and collapsing, then they would eliminate it right away. and they could do that, but they won't do that. and the reason is they know that it is not failing and there are a lot of people that depend on the bill. so the position now is the same as the position has been since 2009. we oppose your bill. we agree the status quo is terrible and unacceptable. there are better plans without the parts nobody likes. we are working on this plan and we will come up with next week or next month or next year. it is without harming anybody. it isn't powerful to rate this kind of bill. what they are trying to do is maybe even four years. they don't know how long. >> host: but they are going to put up this repeal for years to give themselves even more t

. >> bret: john roberts live on the north lawn. let's talk more about president trump and the economy. joining us from our sister network fox business networks, this claimant. >> the market had two records today. in the past 48 hours, donald trump has been laying a foundation, putting up scaffolding around business, economy, jobs. when you talk about those meetings, the one yesterday, ten senior executives, everyone from the ceo of dow chemical to elon musk of tesla. they listened as trump promised to cut taxes and sliced slice e regulations. many of them -- today he zeroed in on the u.s. automakers. here's where it gets interesting. bitter rivals. ford, gm, fiat chrysler all the ceos in the same room. donald trump is a negotiator. they want lower taxes, fewer regulations. we got no details on what specifically the president offer but the automakers have had to meet the stringent fuel efficiency standards. if he could promised they would be relaxed, it would help. they are all promising to build plants or hire workers in the u.s. b

. >> bret: john roberts, live on the north lawn. how to the people who voted for a president trump feel about the immigration restrictions? kristin fisher talked to several of them today. she is at the u.s. supreme court. >> there are hundreds of people here, waiting for the top two democrats on capitol hill to lead a protest against president trump's immigration order. because supporters of the order haven't received quite as much attention, they say they feel just as strongly as the people who are here tonight. >> as a muslim-american, i recognize that we have a serious problem with islamic extremism in the world and we have a serious problem with people who want to do harm to our world. i support the travel restrictions that president trump put forward. >> she moved to the united states from india when she was four. now she is defending the immigration order. >> if there were a muslim ban, we would include countries like indonesia and india, with the world's largest population of muslims. these are travel restrictions, and they a

. >> thanks, amen, on the north lawn for us. our next guest is richard sap p saperstein, ceo. there were times you were growing more negative on the mark kit. this is not one of them? >> with the mark kit selling out the s&p, 17.5 times our 2017 estimate, the market is not excessively valued right now. >> everybody seems to be growing more positive. is that something in and of itself to worry about. if you look at the vix, it is at 10 and change. >> if the animal spirits are ignited and the market moves to acce access i have evaluations, those are an economic policy air pocket or and economic and a policy air pocket so both could lead to disappointments in the market. >> are you inclined to put new money to work, though, at these levels even though you think stocks can go higher? >> yes. because we have to ask ourselves, will the environment for growing eps be improved over the next four years. we believe so. so for that reason, we believe the market will continue to sell at stretch valuations. the landscape will be improved. >> what part of the market would you increase your

chief white house correspondent john roberts is live on the north lawn. the president continues a furious pace of pollymaking with new executive orders on homeland security and immigration expected, john. >> yes, there's a lot of that just ahead in the next 24 hours, melissa. first of all, interesting to note, how the president basically said he doesn't want to come, it's fine, we decided it's not in our best interests, we'll go another way. turning what for all intenlts and purposes might look to a lot of people like a diplomatic crisis into more of a business deal, we're not prepared to do it now, we'll do it a different time, different way. new sheriff in town. to the executive orders. tomorrow will be a big day, even though teresa may for the u.k. is coming here, tomorrow will be a big day for executive orders. first and foremost is the issue it was called the muslim ban during the election campaign, now being seen as a way to protect america's borders from terrorism and suspending visas from certain countries. here's what we know will happen a30-day

. >> let's go to chief white house correspondence john roberts live on the north lawn. busy day already. >> oh, yeah. unbelievably busy week as well. building the wall is just one thing that the two executive orders that the president will sign at the department of homeland security. the bullet points on the screen, building the wall, physical wall along the borders, number one priority of both of these executive orders. secondly, the president will announce it's his intention to hire additional border control agents and have more detention space along the border with mexico. we'll eliminate the obama era practice of catch and release, meaning peep whom come across the border will not be released to the custody of family members. all of those central american immigrants that did that two or three years ago. they will be detained during their adjudication process. and prioritize the prosecution of criminal illegal aliens. there is a second executive order, withhold certain federal funding for sanctuaries city, enhance custom enforcement, to remove illegal aliens, give th

first, john roberts on the north lawn this afternoon. what is the latest on the lawsuit that target this travel ban. >> shep, good afternoon. you can add eric snyderman to the lists of attorneys general that are filing suit to try to stop the travel ban. schneiderman is juning the lawsuit in a brooklyn court saturday night. no surprise he would do that. schneider man has never been a fan of the president. the president call schneider man a partisan hack. the two of them don't see eye to eye nor do they get along. it's no surprise to see he's in couldn't against this president. the president did get some support from his secretary of homeland of security, general john kelly. he said this order was needed saying it's much easier to defend from the 50 yard line than it is to defend from the one yard line. joining together with the press secretary against these reports that he was out of the loop during the roll-out, both men said they were fully informed and that the secretary knew everything there was to know about this. here's both men th

let's go to john roberts live on the north lawn, john, are you able to keep it all straight? >> yeah, there's a lot of news coming out of this white house, no question about that. the president will be going to that retreat tomorrow in the early afternoon for a couple of hours. let's just say that in terms of the cia black site report, they are not the report point where they are going to renew the program that was established during the bush administration. there is a memo, according to the associated press, that is being circulated discussing whether or not it might be something to look at and at the same time may be reviewing the procedures of the army field manual when it comes to interrogation. donald trump is a big fan of enhanced interrogation, saying repeatedly on the campaign trail that he would like to see waterboarding and worse for people who would like to do harm to the people of the united states of america. meantime, this afternoon, we do know that he is going to be doing a couple of things, signing a couple of executive orders having to do with border security

we're stapding on the north lawn of the white house and you can hear this march that is taking placethe streets of the nation's capital. so undoubtedly, jake as he's been crossing the city to go to the prayer service and over to the c.i.a., he's seen the size of these crowds. >> it was down to business for president trump as he visited the c.i.a. to face the same intelligence community he openly accused of leaking damaging information about him during his transition. >> there is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the c.i.a. than donald trump. there's nobody. >> but instead of addressing his previous attacks on the people of the c.i.a., trump stood in front of a wall honoring the agency's fallen officers and took swipes at the news media. accusing the press of intentionally misstating crowd sizes at the inaugural. >> we have had a massive field of people. i turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field. i said wait a minute, i made a speech. i looked out, the field was it looked like a million, million and a half people. they showed a field wher
