understanding is this was written by somebody who worked on the transition before who's not in the trump administration. this is not a product of the administration. that's the point that i think is noteworthy. >> where is this? >> i don't know. i'm in the congress. i'm not in the administration. >> i've seen all these reports, everyone seems so -- talking about it today. >> this is not something the trump administration is planning on, working on or we're talking about. that's point that i think matters here. >> so, what about the companion issue, enhanced interrogation, that's currently against the law, is that going to be brought back into the discussion? >> that's not something we've been discussing. . i think this came up in mike pomp pompeo's confirmation hearings. we're a humane country. we got to make sure we find the intelligence, do it in a humane way following the law. >> can you work with president trump? >> of course, i can. no, i do work with president trump. not can i. i do work with president trump. i work with him quite closely, actually. >> how often -- >> i spent more time talking wi

this is not any feels of trump administration and senior counselors said they view media as opposition party and they're treating them as such. when you go to briefings and we see this relationship back and forth between media and trump side there's a real conflict going on right here and the trump administration knows it's a way around the media. they have a president well adept and has millions of followers on twitter and age it get the message out on his own and this white house we'll hear from shawn spicer tonight. do not think they need to rely on the traditional media outlets as their soul source of getting out to the american people. >> they don't, thanks, fits, we'll have more on that tonight. >> and meantime, washington took center stage in hollywood. sag awards were almost overshadowed by politics and we'll look at speeches when we come back. at dominion, we're putting our energy to work creating a cleaner environment by using cleaner energy sources like solar, wind and natural gas. we've reduced carbon emissions by nearly 25%, which is the equivalent of taking close to two m

the trump administration's war on the media escalated thursday, when trump's chief strategist steve bannon called the media "the opposition party." in a "new york times" article published thursday, bannon said -- "the media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut." bannon is the former head of the right-wing breitbart media, which frequently publishes racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, and xenophobic news. we'll have more on trump's war on the media after headlines. the trump administration has announced plans to publish a weekly list of c crimes committd by unauthohorized immigranants living in so-called sanctuary cities, where local officials and lalaw enrcrcemenare e refusg to comply y with federal immigration authorities efforts to speed up deportations. the plans for the weekly list, to be published by the homeland security department, were included in trump's executive orders that were signed on wednesday. author andrea pitzer, who is currently writing a book on nazi concentration camps, points out trump's proposed list recalls a nazi germany-era policy by which the

about a number of stories, there have been a number of significant developments involving the trump administrationg the border wall between america and us, he has changed the way that sanctuary cities operate, these are cities that don't necessarily cooperate with federal agencies looking at immigration, mr trump wa nts to looking at immigration, mr trump wants to change that. then this story which the new york times is running, an article that claims, the bbc is not able to confirm, that the trump administration is preparing executive orders that would drastically reduce the us role in the united nations and other international organisations. let's go back to anthony live in washington, dc. is anybody else backing up this new york times article? that is the only report i have seen at the moment but it doesn't surprise me given the level of rhetoric coming out of the trump administration and trump on the campaign trail directed towards international organisations and the un, which has attracted a particular amount of scorn from conservative circles when the security council had their resolution co

welcome to difficult ploplomacy trump administration. he mexican president cancelling a meeting with president trump. what should we expect today and tomorrow? >>> building a border wall. white house laying out plans to get mexico to pay after mexican president canceled a planned trip to washington. >>> all this and hosting a trip from the british prime minister. >>> and president trump visits the pentagon for the first time since taking office. he meets with top military brass to get started on the plan to defeat isis. there is so much going on. welcome back to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> a busy time. i'm miguel marquez. 29 minutes past the hour. breaking overnight. official tells cnn that president trump and russian president putin are scheduled to speak on the phone on saturday. it will be the first conversation since mr. trump took office. no matter how that call goes, it will likely be smoother than the president's first foray into diplomacy with our neighbor mexico. the white house suggesting it may try to pay for the bo

. >> well the argument that some in the trump administration though as you can tell, president trump's not yet sold on this idea. he's pondering it, but speaker ryan is sold on this idea. hey wait, if this is what the u.s. does across the board, that this is no less fair than what you describe. what would you say to that? >> yeah. well, he's not entirely wrong. the question is one whether this will benefit u.s. consumers, probably not, and two, what effects it will have on trade from other nations with the united states. especially if one you have a free trade agreement which is a case between the united states and mexico. and canada by the way and i'm not clear if this would be allowed or not and secondly if it confirms to world organization rules which is not that clear either. so, it's not just a domestic legitimative issue in the united states, it has to do with american commitments, legal commitments, both on bilateral trade agreements and on multi-lateral commitments that the u.s. has made over the year, chuck. >> tell me this, look, we know that the current president of mexico,

this was coming, when it did arrive, they were shocked by it, they were told by people in the trump administrationumably peter teal, i remember he said, trump shouldn't be taken literally but seriously, he should have been taken literally from what he said, i think tech was shocked by it, and initial ly -- i put that out, because i said, now you have to say something. i started calling them on friday night, texting and e-mailing all of them, and said, when are you going to say something? they started to, it started to dribble out on friday night and saturday. mark zuckerberg had said something early on on his facebook, and then the rest of them started to, and they increased in vorciferousness. read hastings said it was unamerican. >> can we get to some of these responses? >> sure. >> you said these tech guys are going to have to get used to a very political atmosphere fast. is that because of young people who use their apps and their product are so politically enga engaged? why is that? >> i think their employees, i think the employees -- i've been hearing from thousands of employees at these com

syria. >> what do you think the top priority will of the end the initial conversation with a trump administration? icing trump understands the importance of the challenge of the islamic state perhaps to the world and especially the united states. but since it is far wait from the borders of the united states -- far away from the borders of the united states, he can wait until his next term or next administration. for us, it is time to act. war already in the fight. trump can afford himself the luxury to compete with american troops from the run any got iran and afghanistan. we cannot leave syria like this. the room for maneuver for russia is much more smaller than the united states. probably a deal will not to be 50-50 in both interest and much more and the interest of the united states and should not be zero-sum game. we should all gain benefits. >> what do anticipate for any change or conversation about the ukraine? issue ukraine -- it is an of crucial importance for russia. i think everybody understands in the united states that for us, ukraine is a center of gravity. we cannot afford ourselve

has continued to target al-qaeda there, but it is clear, jenna, the trump administration is picking upn the fight against al-qaeda. they are launching a much more aggressive campaign there than the obama administration had. that focus primarily on drones, but this raid seems to signal a step up in the tactics against al-qaeda and the peninsula. >> jenna: a big story to watch, connor, thank you. >> jon: this fox news alert, several killed and injured, police say that two gunman entered the mosque during evening prayers, and opened fired on more than 50 people, two suspects are in custody now after what prime minister is calling a terror attack against muslims. live with more on that from our newsroom. >> reporting, one of the men is from moroccan heritage, the other is french-canadian, both are said to be students at a nearby university. they would not discuss the suspects or the identities or motive this morning, but they did say that the men were not known to place before the shootings. they confirmed that one of them called 911 to turn himself in after the attack. at least 200 office

we don't know how this will sort out in a trump administration. >> mostly in secret. obama didn't come out on twitter ahead of time and warn he was about to do it. my inbox is full of e-mails from journalists worried about the chilling effects of trump's tweet. he's already calling for this investigation. my follow up invest asking if this investigation is happening have not been returned. are you noticie ining a chillin effect? are you noticing them less

you have doubts that the homeland security department actually worked with the trump administration on this executive order. why? >> well, when i left a little over a week ago, i had no relationship, no meeting with the trump transition team. only a couple of people within customs and border protection remember that's the largest federal law enforcement agency. 60,000 people on the front lines protecting the borders. they only had two one-hour meetings with anybody and there was never a hint that there was going to be this kind of ban. the last thing you want with 60,000 people, 338 points of entry, a law enforcement agency, not a political organization, the last thing you want is for them not to have clarity and guidance. >> commissioner, you've also criticized the rollout of this order by the trump white house but the trump administration argues that announcing the changes in advance would have given potential terrorists the opportunity to enter the united states before the order went into effect. do you believe that's a fair point? >> no, i don't believe it's a fair point, because p

we'll see if the trump administration comes up with different numbers on that. and remind me the broader question was about -- >> it was about day one, things that he will focus on. this is what the a.p. has summarized so i'll get reaction to all of this. donald trump promised to stop all federal funds for sanctuary cities to begin deporting what trump estimates to be more than 2 million criminal illegal migrants living in the u.s., to cancel the visas for citizens of foreign countries who won't take the illegal migrants back, to terminate barack obama's two illegal executive amnesties that include daca and begin working on what he called an impennet trabable border and then kate's law, those who enter unlawfully after being removed. >> and before i answer that, i want to continue to address the last question. the part that is important is there was a perception that the obama administration did things behind the country's back and that is a factor that will drive the immigration conversation during the early days of the trump administration. and that was in par

the trump administration signaled that it will move forward with trump's immigration agenda. criminal aliens. and a much promised wall is on the way. the white house news conference, sean spicer had this to say. >> i think the president has noted that this was a serious priority throughout the campai campaign. he has already started to work with congress. he is doing everything he can to direct the agency's and congress to commence a top work as soon as possible. >>

. >> a trump administration will change our failed trade policies, and i mean quickly. >> trump also believes current trade deals are hurting american workers. he wants out of the transpacific partnership, or tpp, a planned trade deal with asia. and he wants to renegotiate the north american free trade agreement, or nafta. that's a trade agreement that was enacted 24 years ago with canada and mexico. trump has also proposed a moratorium on new regulations and plans to roll back existing rules on industries from banking to mining and manufacturing. >> i am going to cut regulations massively. >> joining us now is ben white, politico's senior economic reporter. and from washington, sarah fagen, a former bush-cheney aide and partner with ddc advocacy. thank you both for being here today. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> ben, let me begin with you. president trump is proposing some major changes here from trade cuts to rolling back some trade agreements and tax cuts. when we're looking at the overall plan, how much is he likely to be able to accomplish, especially considering the republican

jane: the border wall is one of many developments coming from the trump administration. i spoke with anthony's irca -- anthony zurcher. who will pay for the wall? taxpayers inican the beginning. although donald trump loved in his rallies asking who would pay for the wall, and they would "mexico." he is saying we will build it and find a complicated way to make mexico pay for it. jane: he says he will start in a couple of months? anthony: depends on what you mean by start. planning? ditch digging? it could cost $14 billion. it will not happen overnight. jane: he said he is clamping down on people coming in legally from seven countries? anthony: the reports are there will be an executive action that will prohibit people from coming iran, iraq, libya, somalia, sudan -- jane: these are all muslim countries. it is not a blanket ban on muslims? anthony: not a muslim ban, but he said he would single out countries with ties to terrorism. we are getting a list. that is effectively a fan from those countries until he can implement the extreme vetting he has been talking about. are

if anything, it's an opportunity for the trump administration to, to show their support for israel byng to reverse what they can and what the obama administration did. sharyl: since election day, the obama administration has also made numerous last-minute proclamations. he's put parts of the atlantic and arctic off-limits to oil and gas leasing. and designated over a million acres of western land as national monuments, possibly limiting access by native americans and those who use it for grazing. and he's churned out hundreds of federal rules, nicknamed midnight regulations. josh bolten: the trump transition quite properly has a team of able lawyers and policy people monitoring what's going on, and making plans to try to reverse as much as possible immediately when the president takes office. sharyl: that's not always easy and often requires multiple votes in congress. darrell issa: if a president, as this one had done, has nine separate regulations, all in the area of medicare or medicaid that they put in, in the last few weeks by the stroke of a pen, it would seem absurd to spend a

. >> education secretary on what to expect from the trump administration in federal education policy and the goals for a new education secretary. donald trump has nominated betsy devos for that post. >> good afternoon and happy new year. i'm michael hanson, senior fellow and director of the brown center on education policy here at the brookings institution. we will discuss the federal education policy under the trump administration. this event that we're holding today marks the culmination of the brown center series on memos to the president on the future of k-12 education policy. this project brought together people in a variety of topics in pre-k through 12 to write memos aimed at informing the incoming president how to proceed based on the best evidence we have in this phase and this began months ago prior to the election and those involved contributed great ideas and efforts to help be critical advisors during this transition point. i want to take a moment at the outset to acknowledge the efforts of the project's co-chairs, doug harris, sonny ladd and marty west with my co-editor

it's sort of a doubling down, really, for the trump administration in the face of all the criticism they have been receiving. >> yeah. yeah. i don't know. keeping on the obama administration enforcement guy doesn't seem to be a doubling down to the extent that what they are doing is taking a hard right turn. christina well,y appreciate you being here with us. i feel like we have a lot more to do in terms of understanding these moves but it's very interesting tonight. 2 timing you are right, very interesting. >>> want to bring in to the conversation david sanger, chief washington correspondent for the "new york times" and he is a guy who i don't like to think of myself as keeping up after midnight because he is in charge of a lot of important stuff. david, thank you for abobeing w us. >> good to be with you again. >> we have got confusion in terms of what is happening with this ice job, the customs enforcement replacement. putting that aside for a second the larger news tonight is the firing of the acting attorney general. can i just ask you as from your reporting your experience how big

if there are facts that do not line up with what the trump administration is seeking to portray, the narrative that they want out there, then they're going to try to undermine those facts, regardless of whether or not that means uttering a falsehood from the press secretary's podium in the white house, for example. i think more broadly, though, what this shows, alex, is the trump administration's intention of degrading and demeaning and discrediting the media. >> and that's different. there have been administrations in the past that have certainly been at war with the media, but this is of a whole other magnitude, and when you take the hostility that they have shown and the glee with which they want to undermine the main stream media's credibility, it's really unprecedent. >> a white house not dealing with things in in fact, jeremy, isn't that dangerous? >> it absolutely is, but the tone is set from the top. and the president has shown a willingness also to disregard facts that he doesn't want out there, i mean, look at what he did yesterday, standing in front of the memorial of the

i am so happy. >> next, see how "saturday night live" handled the first day of the trump administration. >>> the debate over crowd size at the trump inauguration is now in the archives of "saturday night live." >> i promise we will take care of america. it's the most expensive thing we've ever bought. >> the show's opening sketch featured beck bennett playing russian president vladimir putin. the shirtless leader poked fun at president trump who is accused of getting help from putin to win the election. >> i'm glad to see so many people showed up to your inauguration. oh, wait, that's the woman's march. here is inauguration. >> president trump is up and tweeting about several things this morning but he hasn't responded to the "snl" sketch. if and when he does, we'll let you know. >>> today you can get a taste of some of philadelphia's best restaurants. restaurant week in center city kicks off today. diners can try three-course dinners for $35 a person. lunches go for $20 a person and parking rates are also reduced at some philadelphia parking facilities to encourage you to come out. >>>

administration makes at the start. but you try to minimize those mistakes and when you make one, you should admit it. it feels to me like donald trumpconstitutionally incapable of admitting any error, any miscue, but the errors are beginning do build up in a very rapid pace and i think if he's not careful, whatever one's other objections to his administration may be, incompetence might set in as a characterization of where they are and that's not where you want to be if you're at 45% and trying to get above water in your popularity ratings. >> and david jolly, this is what a transition is all about. this is why a careful transition matters. it matters to pick people to nominate for offices who you believe can get confirmed very quickly. >> that's it. >> so you won't have to live with acting directors of. but all of these act -- the acting attorney general, in fact, sally yates, was someone chosen by the trump transition team because -- >> that's it. >> -- she was a career justice department employee who had worked for republican and democratic presidents and they specifically asked her to remain as the acting attorney general until

right after the break, i got a chance to go inside a jail that wants to be a model for the trump administration what would you say to president trump about the program that you all run in this jail? >> come and see us, president, come and see what we're doing. i think it truly is a model for the rest of the nation. >> much more on that visit and the real life implications of the president's latest orders, right after the break. microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. there are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample. with the microsoft cloud, we can analyze the data faster than ever before. if we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks before they begin. that goes beyond assuming beingredients are safe...ood to knowing they are. going beyond expectations... because our pets deserve it. beyond. natural pet food. >>> it is time for a check of the headlines at the half hour. president trump just hours away from revealing his nominee to fill the u.s. supreme court seat left vacant by t

so you have to hope that there is a majority of not just advisers, but officials in the trump administration who know that the true interests of the united states are to pass the tpp. i think the second thing is that mr. trump and some of the opposition to tpp on the hill will find that the absence of the u.s. having something positive to offer japan, canada, other countries in the asia-pacific will lead to tunism by china. i don't blame china by that. that's their right. i think that will push them to revive the tpp. it may come with another name, but i think we'll get it back. >> trump has announced a new ambassador for the country. he is also highlighting currency issues with china. what are your thoughts on this? >> it's kind of silly to be attacking china on currency right now. they were manipulatiting the currency in roughly 2005-2008 on a vast scale. and probably the u.s. government should have been harsher with them at that time. which we advocated. but for the last year and a half now, the chinese government has been intervening to prop up the currency to keep it from falling. more

the acting attorney general fired by president trump is accused of betrayal by the white house. will other administrationls who defy the president's travel ban face a similar fate? >>> external threat. the european union chief suggests president trump and his immigration crackdown may pose a danger to the european continent. the trump administration now arguing there is no ban, even though the president, himself, used that word. >>> and boycott. democrats take advantage of senate rules to stall committee votes on key cabinet nominees. members of minority party now searching for an effective strategy. do they have the power to trump the president? >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room."

reince priebus hit this point on "meet the press" this morning, the trump administration says this list of seven countries is based on countries deemed a source of terrorism by congress and the obama administration. we can put them up on the screen here. this is with regard to green card holders, a graphic. those are some of those targets. i've been reporting on this extensively. that is not quite the case. there are previous laws that flagged these countries, but they flagged them as dangerous places to visit. they did not state under law that they were sources of u.s.-bound terror and, of course, that makes logical sense when we keep in mind 9/11, the orlando attack did not involve people from these affected countries. i'm throwing a lot at you there. i wonder if you care to respond to any of it based on your reporting. >> reporter: in talking to administration officials, they were looking for underpinnings and some precedent as part of the support for this action. and so by going back and finding where congress and the administration had identified these seven countries. we know that

and so, to them, trump going after the media is setting the tone for his administration, and they like that kind of thing. but what it also highlights is that, you know, the big difference between governing for all and the difference between campaigning. and trump with this statement from the white house, with the comments in front of the cia, has kind of shown that he is campaigning still, talking to a specific group of people that helped to vote him into office. and i don't think that's something that we're going to see change, at least not very quickly. if we're looking for a new kind of donald trump as he assumes the highest office in the land, i don't think we're going to see much change in terms of his style, approach and his thought process. >> caitlin and yamiche, great to see you both. thank you. >> thank you. >>> straight ahead, you're going to hear from a woman who's an outspoken supporter of the president. her take on the million-plus marching across the nation and how the president should react, next. have you any wool? no sir, no sir, some nincompoop stole all my wool swe

what else do you expect to see from the trump administration? >> thanks for the question, thank you for allowing me to be a today to discuss this important topic. there's a lot to think about and reflect about. hopefully we can provide some insight into what we might expect in the next four years at least. a couple of framing remarks just to begin. an important thing i have thought about is there will always be a federal role in education. whether or not it's the department of education as they are now or as a pass-through for federal money to go to states, there will always be a federal role. as we've we've seen in the past couple decades this will change through different presidencies and reaction to different policies and events that are happening in the world as well as how high on the agenda education is a priority,, particularly look at the economy and what schools within our needs to be successful. it isn't always the republicans to reduce the federal and education. we saw increase under george w. bush and right now we see, for example, a

but first, one other story that is getting much attention about these first few days of the trump administratione government agencies being silenced from their normal way of communicating with the public? and is this administration going further than its predecessors? jeffrey brown has the story. >> brown: reports continued today from several news outlets, that the trump administration has tried to limit the flow of information out of key government agencies-- many involved in environmental and scientific research. among them, according to the "washington post," "associated press" and others, the environmental protection agency, where staff are reportedly banned from sending press releases, or posting to the agency's social media accounts. similar orders were allegedly issued within the departments of interior and agriculture. officials from the u.s.d.a. later told reporters the order was improperly issued and not cleared by senior leadership. meanwhile, at the white house today, press secretary sean spicer disputed the broader claims altogether. >> no, no, there's nothing that's come from the w

with us this morning to talk about housing policy under a trump administration and particular we want to start off with one of the first actions of president trump, the headline in bloom. . what was this action and what does it mean? >> the fha had to really come in to the market when the housing market was going down. many of the private lending pulled back as a result many order to stabilize the housing market fha came in. but those were very difficult times where home values were falling. so the reserve fund is going down. as a result the fha needed to raise the premium to compensate for some of the deplegs. for the past five years o the housing market is covering nicely. it's near historic lows. home values are rising. therefore it makes sense to reduce some of the inshunes premiums that have boon raised. it was announced by president obama at the last minute. so i believe the trump administration is just saying that for any last-minute decisions we want to negate and we will review the numbers and then see what to do. we believe that the h.u.d. secretary ben carson will review th

military strike under the trump administration. which could begin with an escalation on the gulf the next time an irgc attack boat harasses one of our navy ships and president trump orders secretary mattis to blow that out of the water. then you can imagine an escalation that leads to military confrontation. and so when you talk about nonnuclear sanctions, it may be the least confrontational coercive instrument we may face in the next four years. >> do you want to react to that, caroline? >> there is final solutions for everything. you can always escalate everything as far as one wishes and -- something we want to avoid, i think. i think what is important is to understand that this deal, it takes -- it takes huge tangle and if we don't keep the iranians on board, there is no purpose with the deal. and therefore i also want to point out so it has been said that the eu still maintains sanctions on iran or for human rights and terrorism. so we haven't lifted all our sanctions. but it certainly needs, i think, and we work with china, w

what will the trump administration do? >> let's be cheer. this has been a productive first week by any measure for a new administration. it is also in return, a very fast legal setback. i am hard pressed to think of an executive order running into this kind of legal head winds this quickly. so what is next is the aclu will continue this litigation. they have broader arguments not granted. they argued, i saw when they were filing the briefs, that this is religious discrimination that has not been ruled on. that would be a problem if proven. so there will be a wider attack on the entire order and there are other groups planning to litigate. c.a.r.e. announcing they want to file suit monday. what is somewhat striking and unusual is to see such a quick injunction, at least for part of order. this is a huge boost to those who would challenge the legality and legitimacy of this order in an area where generally there is an incredible deference to the president. >> what was the burden for the aclu lawyers as well as others who were representing these

over the weekend we saw the trump administration mobilize fact asphyxiators. size of the election crowd. his press secretary doubled down today. turns out this is standard operating procedure for trump for numbers. the question now being, will white house officials be more willing to give him hard truths than did producers and editors of "the apprentice"? during his first weekend as president, donald trump and his team were fixated on an issue of no consequence to most voters. >> we had a massive field of people. you saw that. >> reporter: how big the crowds were at his inauguration. >> i looked out. the field was, it looked like a million, million and a half people. they showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there. >> reporter: on saturday, the president sent his press secretary, sean spicer, to the white house briefing room to make several patently false claims to the public. >> this was the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass on the mall. that had the fact of highlighting any areas
