we had a baby born in the white house with james earl carter the fourth. large, canalthough want to sayt intimidating for some families, because it is an extremely large house. it is not as large as it appears on television. host: let's talk about the tour as we saw last month. we saw melania trump tour with michelle obama. what happens on that day? where does the first lady take the incoming first lady? to walters: traditionally, my memory it was a meeting at the south cortical. they go upstairs to the private , theers where they meet first ladies talk about children. be childrengoing to involved. in the reagan administration there was not. trump,s. obama and mrs. i'm sure they spoke about raising a child and the environment of the white house. they walk around the second floor and possibly the third floor to show them what their new home will be like , what changes they can make to the different areas, how they can use those areas to their wants and needs. believe that mrs. obama went down to the first floor and walk-through part of the first four, the hi

to the white house? >> actually, physical constraints there are none. the whole house belongs to the family. the american people elected them so they can do anything they want. if they wanted to stop tours they could. i don't think any president or first lady ever would consider that. but the ground floor and the first floor of the residence are pretty much historic. i think that now has been established with mrs. kennedy's efforts in 1961 to '63 and those rooms have a historic basis to them. upstairs on the second floor in the private quarters there are the traditional guest bedrooms on the second floor at the east end of the building, the lincoln and the queen's bedrooms. those are the traditional guest bedrooms when the family has personal guests there. then the other rooms up there can be used in any way that the first family desires. it is their home as well as the third floor and during the years there have been different family members who have resided there, as i said earlier. president carter ha

so far from a white house far from the white house producers, no direct response from the white house to this protest although we've heard president trump yesterday at issue here is not that much of his ativan on muslims and as far as he was concerned it was working very well. elizabeth: speaking of the president right now. donald trump is scheduled to speak with the king of saudi arabia. the phone call expected to begin moment ago. the call is the latest in a series of conversations president trump is holding with leaders this weekend. five calls were made to mr. trump yesterday including one to vladimir putin. today president trump also speak with the prince said the united arab emirates and south korea's acting president. leland: and back to our top story now. protests happening at several airports across the country. as we sat around the world than the one of those airports is lax that that's where we find someone. give us a sense of the crowd spirit are the growing or shrinking question dark >> so far we've seen about 50 people trickle in here. they are expecting a massive protes

is the white house. it's just a spectacular place, and, you know, it's something that represents something very special. >> reporter: with all the precision and the preparations, ultimately, rochon says, moving day can be emotional. he still remembers the feeling of saying goodbye to george and laura bush. >> i remember inauguration day, in the morning, to say farewell in if the rece room, and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. including the bushes. >> our thanks to elizabeth. i hope you join elizabeth and med for a special edition of "20/20" tonight. the inauguration of donald j. trump. we'll be live at the balls here in washington, d.c. 10:00 p.m. eastern tonight. >>> when we come back here this evening, mexican drug lord el chapo facing charges in the u.s. he's now here in the u.s. >>> and news continue coming in about former president george h.w. bush and his wife, barbara. h.w. bush and his wife, barbara. we'll be right back. en you have, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, wh

as ann said earlier, the white house is an icon. not only in the united states but in the world and i knew our president was coming back to the american people's house to try and calm everybody and we worked during the course of that day to make sure that that area where the helicopter normally lands was available for the president to come back and he made a speech to the american people that night, followed up the next morning with mrs. bush from the oval office in trying to get the families to be calm and continue with their daily activities. i'll make it as short as possible. sorry. >> ann, when you came in to the clinton white house, can you tell us how many people were there? what percentage. >> what i started with? >> yes, what you started with and then what the white house -- >> the white house social office? >> no, generally within the white house, i think there were approximately i'm going to guess 500 people of which about 70% are political. so 70% of those jobs -- i mean, i think those numbers are pretty good. 500, 525, so

the white house. the white house announcing today it is in the beginning stages of discussions to move the u.s. embassy to israel -- in israel. white house press secretary sean spicer telling cnn, quote, we are at the very beginning stages of even discussing this subject, end quote. moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was one of president trump's pledges during the campaign. that alert coming on the heels of a phone call between president trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we have coverage on this breaking story. we begin with jeff zeleny at the white house with more on this. right after the phone call president trump heading to the east wing of the white house for a swearing-in of his senior staff. we're looking at live pictures right now. that could happen at any moment. but first talk about israel and what potentially is the issue here. >> good afternoon, fredricka. by now president trump should have had that conversation with prime minister netanyahu. it was scheduled f

my experience with the white house is that it was hard to the secretary of the treasury to the white house for issues for the reasons i said. >> just to amplify what bob says , it is sometimes his and the question whether they're invited, softened the question of whether they show up. at a certain moment, there's a lot of meetings that in fact they don't think their expertise is particularly important. so if it's downgraded to who shows up and then ultimately nobody shows up. >> i think that's often the case with the obama administration that the level people attended attended started to go further down all the time. >> magic follow, i have a question about the staff coordination function. so the staff's primary function is staffing the president and pushing the president's priorities but they also have to coordinate all of government. you made the point that if the president doesn't care about the staff shouldn't worry about it, although you did save the president should care about it. but he really does need to care about according to government. there is a tendency to think perhaps

the white house might be a step down. >> the white house is the white house.and, you know, it's something that represents something very special. >> reporter: the new first family is free to decorate the top two private floors however they like. but the first floor rooms are too historically significant to change. >> the idea that donald trump is gonna come in and bling out the white house, that's not really possible. >> reporter: and it's not just decor. there's also the question of cuisine. >> he might wanna change things around. >> the obamas famously had a very healthy chef. >> donald trump might be doin' fast food -- >> donald trump likes his burgers -- >> so there's no question the white house is the imprint of whoever the president the mont i >> reporter: the obamas put house.own imprint on the and although the president's private residence is typically off-limits, the public recently got a glimpse behind the scenes. when the obamas opened their home to architectural digest. >> there is a real fascination with how people with so much stature and power l

the white house. at some point they also walk around the second floor, possibly the third floor to show them what their new home is going to be like. what changes they can make to the different areas. how they can use those areas to their wants and needs. then i believe, mrs. obama, if i'm not mistaken, went down to the first floor and talk about the rooms, state dining room, par lows, red, blue and green rooms, to give a history of the house.lows, red, blue and green rooms, to give a history of the house.rws, red, blue and green rooms, to give a history of the house.s, red, blue and green rooms, to give a history of the house. >> are there constraints as to what any president or first lady can or cannot do to the white house? >> actual physical constraints, there are none. the whole house belongs to the family. the american people elected them so it is their house. they could stop tours if they wanted to, but i don't think anyone will. the rooms have a historic basis to them. upstairs on the second f

is equally far coming from the statement the property to the white house as it is from the white house to the state department. just think about that. you can actually do coordination in a different wasting a if you do it that way you have to have an informal group at the secretary level that includes the defense per se may include a defense-- intelligence person the pain on the and who are congenial and don't fight with each other about policy, but they work together and realize-- administrations that have been able to establish coordination at the cabinet level also tend to be more effective in establishing it that the assistant secretary level. >> you have to give a someone convening authority and i think the-- you mentioned about the ipc's and i think the obama administration specifically in their initial directive had a whole paragraph same ipc's will not be interagency headed by department. they will be in the white house headed by a person in the nsc staff, so i think this sort of control from the white house was in their head from the start. >> in part because it tries to answe

the competent in government is not in the white house it isn't.ou can't have all the of the expert in the white house if you do you'll take all of the department that's where the expertise lie. it's true for everything. so the people that you want in the white house are the people who know where the expertise is. ask can bring it to bear in the decision-making process. if it you bring it into the white house then it become u.s. government, why bother. it's constant tension, belief only way to coordinate is to have expertise. that lends to growing staff. it's availability to think where in government is expertise how to bring it to bear in the decision-making process and let them implement it. the question that brent put it every morning when i wake up i look in the mirror say how can i have one less person. that's the right question. >> the question you raise is a basic dilemma of government. it depends on the nature of the issue if you predominantly -- if each issue with china is trade issues you give that issue to the economic people if they are

that's a huge reason why he's in the white house. the white house. in terms of covering minority issues and so forth, i think that we're really going to have to stay focused on what is happening to latino americans in this country. this wall that's being built on the border that president initiated. you know, and an immigration officers go out and start looking at you know picking people up and throwing them into detention and deporting them from the country. are threw going to be going after the right country. that's going to be a huge story going forward. >> ari, you co-wrote a piece in cjr with mike mccurry, republican press secretary and a democrat press secretary. >> don't let that be the last word. >> ok, i'll let you respond to it, ok? then i get a 30-second rebut. >> thank you for doing that. this is why i love journalism. holding you accountable. you -- i want to ask you what the two of youthink and can agree on, some of there is in the article some is not by both the press side and the press secretary side to get more and better information

and as the white house changed the rules on the fly. also tonight, opponents fight the ban in court and congress. >> it was not well thought out. it was not properly considered. >> pelley: but the president has his supporters. >> keeping our country safe and lawful. >> pelley: and a family caught in the net. >> look at her. does she need to be better? >> this is this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: protests against president trump's immigration ban have entered a third night. crowds have announced gathered outside the u.s. supreme court in washington and at columbia university in new york city. earlier in the evening, tens of thousands demonstrated in london and scotland. this follows a weekend of protests at airports all around the united states, and here's what it's all about: president trump's anti-terrorism executive order bans citizens of seven countries with muslim majorities from entering the u.s. for at least 90 days. refugees from all other countries are banned for 120 days, and refugees from syria are b

i would be kind of surprised if people in the white house really thought that.i think that it was really -- really unbelievable in terms of what day it was issued in holocaust memorial day and not to understand the suffering and, by the way, that one of the things people remember about the united states is that during the '30s a ship of jews was turned away from america. is that the things we want to remember is how we turn people away from this country when they need help? so the combination is pretty bad, chaotic and disgusting. >> appreciate the perspective as always. >> thank you. >> alisyn? >>> there are plenty of questions surrounding president trump's immigration travel ban, and the white house says it has wide-spread support from americans. is that true? we will get the bottom line and the numbers for you next. if something doesn't seem right, so everyone comes home safely. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. becaupeople confuse but they're different... nice tells you what you want to hear. but kind is honest. this b

bush white house and the chief ethics official of the obama white house.tisan group of lawyers including constitutional scholars and we would be filing exactly the same lawsuit, raising exactly the same concerns, if you had a democratic who was elected with these kinds of unprecedented financial interests around the globe. >> thanks very much for coming in. >> thanks. >>> just ahead, president trump called the israeli president benjamin netanyahu, what they said about meeting face to face about the controversial decision to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. remember, we're only moments away from the start of the first full scale white house press briefing. the press secretary, sean spicer, will be taking questions we're told from reporters. as soon as that starts and he walks through that door up to it the microphone, we'll have live coverage. nice tells you what you want to hear. but kind is honest. this bar is made with cranberries and almonds. so, guess what? we call it cranberry almond. give kind a try. oh, how waso good!en house? did y

the state department to the white house as the white house to the state department. just think about that. you can actually do coordination in a different way. >> what you have to have if you do it that way is an informal, preferably informal group at secretary of state level, may include a defense person, may include a intelligence person, may include a economic person depending on the issue who are congenial with one another. they will fight with each other about policy but also they will work together and realize, the administration has been able to establish, effective and formal coordination at cabinet and near cabinet level. will be more effective establishing at near assistant level. >> you have to give somebody convening authority and i think the, you mentioned, ivo, about the ipcs, i think the obama administration specifically in their initial directive had a whole paragraph saying ipcs will not be inneragency headed by a department. they will be in the white house, headed by a person on the nsc staff. so i think this sort of control from the white house was

i had conversations in the white house.o not want to mention names right now with people telling them that this was going to fail. i published five memos warning them about the failure of the research. and here we are today with russia hacking. >> jenna: are you sure you do not want to mention the names? >> i am sure. >> jenna: a quick follow-up on that. but the sanctions is something that is getting a lot of press today because donald trump gave an interview and really talked a lot about what is happening in europe, and our viewers may not realize that there were sanctions imposed on russia because of the annexation of crimea that has been extended, they were extended into this year. he earned donald trump in this review just recently said that he was going to take them under advisement. in generalizing, but he was not sure if he was going to continue them because he wanted to continue negotiations a little bit. what do you make of that, ariel cohen? >> i think he is walking into a very, very difficult political landscape.

the white house. we have our roving reporter brooke baldwin, who we understand is on the back of a flat bbed truck. she will be in motion. tell us where you are right now, brooke. >> reporter: i've got my feet locked down, ready to roll. this is entirely cool. let me explain what we are doing, we are sharing this truck with our friends at abc news, we are just beyond the capitol outside of russell, in a moment we will start heading down the parade route heading to the capitol white house. we will be in front of the president's motor case and it's called the dance, these four flat bbed trucks will be sort o switching positions to get in front of the motorcade so at any point in time if he desicide to jump out maybe in front of the hotel, we will be able to follow them along the parade route and we have correspondents throughout the parade route, they will be able to see you, we will see them and allison and chris, we're ready to roll. >> literally you're ready to road. at the other end of the parade ro

and the home page of the white house. the digital transformation also included the presidential twitter handle, the flotus account, and the white house instagram account. the first fami w house. >> they say the first night, slue your family there. it will be very exciting. >> reporter: trump's senior advisers say his first executive orders will likely reinvolve scrubbing what he calls job-killing energy restrictions. >> i feel like washington will have a shock to its system with president trump. >> and jon karl live tonight across pennsylvania avenue here. jon, president trump's team said the first major day is going to be monday, it's going to be a big one, they say. >> reporter: well, they are saying his first 100 hours are going to look like a first 100 days of a new presidency. i expect those executive orders will be signed. the first on trade and on regulations. also, he needs to kind of learn his way around the place. he says he's going to visit the major agencies. i expect, david, that the cia will be one of the fi

joining us from the white house is white house correspondent peter alexander. of news this would get more coverage. the last 24 hours we have heard from republican jewish groups and their coalition is not exactly fuming. they know what is in the heart of president trump he understands the suffering of 6 million jews suffering back then but describes it as an unfortunate admission. holocaust remembrance day is a remembrance and presidents referring to the suffering of the jewish people and it appeared to be just a mistake by the white house but then white house aides is insisted it was intentional. they say they basically are an inclusive group and they were trying to include all of those affected by the suffering during the holocaust. here is how reince priebus, the chief of staff, described it. hardly apologetic. >> everybody's heart here is impacted by the terrible memory of that time. so, for the record, that is the case -- >> we don't mean ill will to anybody. no. >> no regret? not acknowledge being the pain? >> we acknowledge it. we acknowledge the horribl

everything was moved to the white house.ok the oath on Ãi one of the balconies they are at the white house. so, you know fdr had for inauguration. this is my tribute for you for the day. you will be able to impress your friends. barack obama about to type franklin d roosevelt's record. how could that be you say? roosevelt was inaugurated four times. well, we already obama was inaugurated twice. the inauguration this year is on a sunday. will take the oath then, then the next day january 21 again. that is what happens when inauguration day falls on a sunday. here is eisenhower on january 20 1957 which was a sunday or a private ceremony. inaugural address this is a very old picture. this is from 1865. this is abraham lincoln's second inauguration. a very famous speech there in which he said with malice toward none, charity for all. and 1933 franklin d roosevelt, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. john f. kennedy in 1961. ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. then the depart

capitol building and the white house. when he bought that building by the way, he put out a huge sign out front, trump coming in 2016. that was far before he was planning to run for president but the hotel opened in 2016. >> jon we should point out that hotel a point of some controversy in a couple of different ways. some suggesting having foreigners puts the president in violation of the clause of the constitution and administered by the general services administration, the lease of that hotel prohibits an office holder from holding it. >> it says in black and white, george, that the hotel may not be run by somebody who is a federal government employee. so that is a clear violation of that contract. now, donald trump has turned control of his company over to his sons but it is still his company. >> cokie roberts, jon karl mentioned how this route is such a historic route. when presidents choose to make real statements by how they handle it. >> they do. this military presence, the security presence really started with lin

summoned by the white house. we are told by our sources, would have, that neil gorsuch did receive a call from the white house saying that he is likely the pick, but again anything can happen. he arrived here in washington last night. judge hardiman, the other contender i pointed out driving here this morning w. to wait and see what happens a few hours from now. >> why did the white house decide to bring both of them to washington if only one is going to get the job? >> that's a good question. i'm told by sources familiar with this process that the white house is taking extraordinary measures to protect this process and to conceal who the topic is and part of that strategy ask to bring both of them to washington, would have. and also there is still the possibility, if you will, that donald trump could have a change of heart. he's been going back and forth between these two judges. as we point out, the leading contender has been judge gorsuch, but they want to have judge hardiman in washington as well. >> the dram

it's the white house again.a place that's not occupied by either first family and, again, right here standing here you feel the power of this office. you feel the majesty of this moment. when we can look mr. trump and mr. pence in the eyes, we can feel and sense that it's a very humbling and time for them to come to the white house for the first time as president and vice president of the united states. >> well, his speech today, ron, certainly made it sound as if he's got a full head of steam, so it will be a very, very busy place as the new era in washington, the trump administration, takes over and sets their course. the president right now and vice president for that matter seem to be having a ball. he's been on his feet for quite a while. he's clapping. he's saluting. he's giving a thumbs up. clearly taking in this moment. i guess the hardest part of his day, making the speech, is over now and he's just trying to take in all these marching units as they come by. and knowing it's all for him. >> michael, you

kellyanne conway is here with us from the white house. thank you for joining us. why did the president choose to give that speech and why have sean spicer make that statement? >> i thought president trump's speech at the cia was remarkable. and he really went there to help with the swearing in on his cia director, miake pompeo. he hasn't been confirmed yet. the president decided to keep it on his schedule. >> why did he choose to not tell the truth about press reporting on his feud with the intelligence community? that reporting was based on the president's own statements. >> the president went to the intelligence community yesterday to establish good relationships with them. we had over 1,000 requests to attend. we could only accommodate a few hundred. he will be back. he got a standing ovation. it's time for him to put in his own security intelligence community. we would prefer the intelligence community that is going out the door to be much more respectful to the president and his vision in moving forward. we're not thrilled with the leaks that have come out in

in the white house. -- anneke. and you cannot just walk leo —— realising i was leaving, and you cannotjust walk back in again. the obama daughters, a significant portion of their lives was spent growing up there. a playground that was donated to them, they have given that away to an organisation. each first family makes it their own and the staff that go in there with them really see themselves as a part of it. talk to us about what happens to the staff? they hand in their passes and that is it? there are a few people who stay through to the very end and the chief of staff is one of them. many have already left, they have packed up their offices. i would be surprised if anyone was still there, saving file, or printing documents. everyone has patched their things and are just waiting. when the obama is leave, they will film that. there will be staff there, in the corner, crying, and watching that happened, and saying thank you. that is true, regardless of what your politics are. a friend from barack obama's chicago

another delay at the white house. we're watching and will go right to sean spicer and fit in a break here. the live coverage continues right after this. my business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? >>> the reason you're my first stop is that as you know i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. and they sort of made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community. and i just want to let you know the reason you're number one stop is exactly the opposite. exactly. and they understand that, too. >> the media made it sound as if donald trump had a feud with the intelligence community. we have gone back over his twitter feed regardin

white house press briefing room and white house presence in -- on the white house grounds. been there since mckinley. know there was some discussion. there for now. there to stay? >> for now. >> they're there to stay? >> i -- that's not my decision to make. for right now, i think we're working well in the briefing room. >> do you want them there? do you think having them on the premises is a good thing? >> on the premises, sure. but i think -- there's a difference -- >> in the white house -- >> the first thing -- >> defining on the premises. >> let me answer the question. the first day i get there, i took a tour, and i'm walking through and they -- i kept hearing, reporter after reporter, look how cramped we are in here. so we looked at a couple options. right now we're not planning on doing anything. the idea is, the reporters love to tell you how cramped they are and we talk about additional space and they don't want to move. okay, so i get hit for talking about, hey, there is a couple potential places we could move the briefing room to allow more seats. we could have add

this massive structure built right in front of the white house.ark back there, but you can see the white house just behind the grandstand here, where the obama's are waking up for the last time after eight years, waking up here for the last nine. down below, you can see all here, and also limousines and suburbans have arrived here, parked on pennsylvania avenue, perhaps one of the more important and essential convoys of the day, as they are set up for what is going to be a very busy day of course for president elect donald trump. and you know, a lot of.well as is with all of the festivities and ceremonies going on today, here at the white house, there truly is a mad dash this morning, and it is already started. the transition, perhaps just as much a part of the tradition as any other historic moment to the. this will be injury's first presidential transition. it has been described in years past as five hours of controlled chaos as part of this transfer of families, the obama's last official event. president obama's last official event here at the

trump is in the white house.started enacting his agenda, the executive orders are going to start flying. these people are going to be like bing, bing, bing. they are all coming at you at one time. >> sean: ashley judd, i am nasty like the blood stains onll my bed sheets? >> i would agree with her. i'm just saying, i don't even agree -- i don't get it, i guess the nasty woman is a poem or something? the hats were cute.na that was a good branding thing. they turned out a lot of people. i'm not going to take that away from them. the folks on the left, were really demoralized after the trump win to say the least. think about it. they thought they were going to win this election, sean. they got completely destroyed in the electoral college. they lost. in a couple months, they were able to turn out millions of people all across the country, around the world to what end? i don't know. they did gather a lot of email addresses. >> sean: if we had a rally when barack obama won in 2008, he was inaugurated in 2009. you said

the white house is not responding.he president will not sell, but put the business in a trust run by his sons. one of the sons, eric trump, tells the times the lawsuit is harassment for political gain. frankly i find it very sad. >>> critical confirmation votes for the cabinet picks. senators will debate on mike pompeo for the cia director. they are asking questions about his support for surveillance and data collection on americans. by 9:00 p.m., pompeo is expected to be confirmed. growing support for rex tillerson for secretary of state as well. his nomination is set for a vote in the foreign relations committee. a couple of senators had been holdouts. republicans. john mccain and lindsey graham. they will support the former exxonmobil ceo. people still don't know where marco rubio will vote. however, tillerson looks like he will get in and this has the trump administration turning up the heat to push through more of the president's nominees and quickly. senate minority leader chuck schumer has more ideas. >> this ca

we have not heard anything from the white house on this yet.trump spoke out yesterday saying this is purely harassment for political gain. frankly, i find it very, very sad. >> what about the legal possibilities here? is a judge likely to let it go forward? >> reporter: the clause is not something you hear in federal court every day. there is a bit of a debate going on among legal experts on how it will apply in the context. some say that paying your hotel bill doesn't violate the constitution. others say this is exactly what the framers were getting at because they were woirried abou corruption infiltrating the u.s. government. the main issue is something called legal standing to come into federal court. you have to show you have been harmed or injured in some way. that would be a challenge for the plaintiffs. it appears the goal is to get the tax returns. something we heard about. that will be something to watch. >> this will be interesting to see over the coming days and weeks to be sure. laura jarrett, thank you. >>> all this caps a tumultu

the white house press secretary sean spicer reacted today.these federal employees should, quote, either get with the program or they can go. what's your reaction to that? >> well, my initial reaction is unprintable. let me be professional for a moment. going back a few years after president bush declared we had mission accomplished in iraq. people warning that iraq was falling apart. the white house didn't want to hear the message. turned out to be an accurate message. my message for mr. spicer is if you don't want to hear -- i don't view the state department message as a protest. it's an effort to tell the white house these are complicated issues. we have a different perspective. one other message i have is personal, wolf. in the next four years fbi officers, cia officers and military officers will take a bullet as they did for president bush and president obama as a result of decisions that president trump makes. how about a little respect. that's all we ask here. they will do what you ask as long as you get out of your arrogant chair and s

the white house is responding.l us what they're saying. >> sure, let me give you the response from the white house regarding the cyber bullying of barron trump, who you see on the screen. it's a long-standing tradition that the children of presidents are afforded the opportunity to grow up outside of the political spotlight. the white house fully expects this tradition to continue. we appreciate your cooperation in this manner. you know what, don, i've got to tell you, with i've been very critical of donald trump, certainly in the past few days, for some of the decisions and things that he's said, but i've got to find common cause with him on this as a father. i think it's outrageous what has happened. we do not cover, from the news media, the children of presidents. we just do not do that. this child should be allowed to grow up as a child. he should not be thrust into the spotlight. in fact, we never saw donald trump take barron trump and put him out there on the campaign trail at all. we saw him a couple times,

everything down to the white house podium goes. to new york. >> since 9/11 we've seen such a substantial change in the numbers of threats and the sophistication of those threats, that d.o.d. has increased its participation. >> these days, the military is indeed heavily involved. for example, a senior intelligence official tells nbc news when president trump is in new york city, reconnaissance drones and fighter planes will patrol the skies, able to shoot down hostile aircraft if necessary. a team of delta commandos and fbi hostage rescue agents are also deployed. and of course a military aide with the nuclear football is always along. communications are key. the president needs to be able to toque to anyone, anywhere, including vladimir putin. and 18 other world leaders to whom he has a direct line. none of this is cheap. with a tries prycetag of approximately $5 billion a year. and government officials tell nbc news, if president trump decides to spend his weekends here in new york city, the cost and the risk will rise significant

movers carry furniture in and out of the white house.sonal items are carefully organized from the moving truck. the dining rooms are decorated and set up and the kitchen staff sets up an inaugural snack, something to help the first family get through all of those late-night calls. of course, the oval office gets a sprucing up as well. new painting on the wall, the carpet and desks are cleaned. new technology is installed. no detail is ever too small. >> one thing that we were very aware of is the new president wanted a special showerhead and so we had to scramble to make sure we had the perfect rain showerhead for president obama. >> reporter: we do not know yet what changes the trump family is questioning but a family that is used to the finer things in life, we can only expect an open pew lent makeover. >> i just want a very special place. i'm going to be working. i'm not going to be decorated. >> reporter: the departing first family may be leaving but the staff stays on. >> i was even in tears. because you really do grow to love the f

bush and the white house welcomed president-elect clinton into the white house, it was very different because george h.w. bush really didn't want to leave. >> the mechanics inside the white house, what is going on? andrew: the white house is getting ready for the president. there is only one president at a time. they try to have that transition completed by noon time. they are usually little bit late, but they also start a little bit early so that the white house itself pretty quickly after the staff leaves their last day of real work, people run around, change furniture, change locks. they paint walls. rugs, change new the paintings in the oval office to fit what the new president wants. they said at the table and put the family pictures in the background. it is a flurry of activity. the muster medically for me was smelling the paint drying in the oval office just before the new president is about to come in. so the outgoing president is kind of seeing that which was their domain being readied for someone else. and it's a little bit sad. it's also a chance for celebration, because yo

the first is over at the white house. the daily white house press briefing. you are looking at live pictures coming in. left part of your screen. the white house press secretary sean spicer will be answering reporters' questions about the temporary travel ban involving seven muslim majority countries and the indefinite ban on the united states taking in syrian refugees. we're also watching for an announcement from the council on american islamic relations, care, as it's called, which is planning to file a lawsuit to stop president trump's immigration orders. we're going to bring you both of those events once they happen. this morning during a meeting with small business leaders, president trump gave his impression of the implementation of the immigration orders so far. >> actually we've had a very good day yesterday in terms of homeland security. someday we had to make the move, and we decided to make the move. >> the white house also changing the conversation by moving up the announcement of the president's supreme court nominee. today the president tweeted,

abc's chief white house correspondent, jonathan karl, at the white house. >> reporter: mexico may insistt's not going to happen, but today donald trump was as defiant as ever. >> i've said many times that the american people will not pay for the wall. and i have made that clear to the government of mexico. >> reporter: this only 24 hours after the president signed his order to begin the process of building the border wall with american money. something the president described to david as basically a down payment. >> we will be in a form, reimbursed by mexico. >> they will pay us back? >> yeah, absolutely. 100%. >> reporter: just hours after that interview, mexican president pena nieto shot back. in an address to the american people, "i've said it once and again," he said. "mexico will not pay for any wall." adding, "mexico offers and demands respect as the sovereign nation we are." since day one of his campaign, trump's relationship with mexico has been rocky. >> who is going to pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> 100%. >> reporter: still, he traveled there to meet with pena nieto last year,
