more exits from the white house. we will watch the first lady and the incoming first lady, out -- come out. host: we'll see more of those exits as the morning progresses. as we head to the u.s. capitol, let's hear from raycen in tennessee, republican line. caller: hello. i want to say happy martin luther king day. and i want to say it is a great day for mostly all of america for, i don't know, donald trump winning. i'm really happy he won. there's a lot of reasons. i don't think there is enough time to list them all, but i want to be happy for the peaceful transition of power and everyone being civil about this. and everyone can be happy it was a nice transition of power. host: from joe in maryland, independent line. caller: hi, yes, sir, good morning. two questions for you and a quick statement. you called steny hoyer though former congressman. is he a former congressman? did he lose or is he still in there? host: he is a former congressman. caller: wow, he's out now, i didn't know that. and you call doug emhoff the

over to the white house. and that is joe biden's commitment to showing the world that democracy still works, that a real peaceful transition of power is still possible in the united states of america, and yet he began his last morning in office, protectively pardoning people who he is worried that donald trump will go after in a way that is perhaps not in keach keeping with what a president of a democracy should or would do. and so that is -- those are the twin contradictory realities and dynamics that these men are facing as they face one another. >> let's -- we're looking at on the right side of the screen st. john's church, inside there president-elect trump standing there. if you look closely in the middle of the screen, back toward the stained glass, you'll see a face that looks a lot like meta ceo mark zuckerberg. the genuflecting by tech ceos coming to donald trump hat in hand, wanting to make friends with the new administration, has been something to behold. is that joe rogan to the right? >> tim cook

we should not pass from the biden white house to the trump white house without noting the grotesque doubletandard that the washington press corps has applied to joe biden and donald trump entirely to donald trump's benefit. it's not just republican members of the house and republican members of the senate who know better, who have accommodated themselves to donald trump. we all know that republicans in congress who know better, who have accommodated themselves to donald trump, do that completely out of fear. the fear of losing their reelections to a trump favored candidate. bravery is not a typical characteristic of politicians, so there's no surprise in politicians. republican politicians, fear of donald trump. and it doesn't take bravery for a reporter to scream at karine jean-pierre in a white house press briefing. and it didn't take bravery for reporters to scream at joe biden in the oval office as they did, or in the roosevelt room as they did. but it would take bravery for them to scream at donald trump or at the white house press secretary working for donald trump if she ever shows

paand now the trump white house.sk was in a significant position and spoke at capital arena before donald trump did and he's been seen in the west wing. >> elon musk has already been spotted in the west wing, he's been given an all access security pass to the white house and sources tell us he's likely to ultimately get an office in the west wing close to president trump. >> just before we came on the air i asked you this, the letter from joe biden, was in in the resolute desk and waiting for president trump? >> we saw donald trump discover the letter, pulled it out, teased reporters that he might read it. didn't do it. we saw joe biden's handwriting, number 47 on the front. >> continuing the tradition, 46 leaving a note for 47. thank you. president trump signing more than 200 executive actions, clearing the rioters, moving to the border, to energy, ending climate change initiatives, reversing many of biden's moves. rachel scott is at the white house. >> reporter: just hours after he was sworn in, president donald tr

white house, bill allman. and we wanted to borrow a couple of that she had acquired for the exhibit. and i said to mr. allman, i said, you know, i'm sure you have some stuff the white could the white house has this huge warehouse of things. and i said, i'm sure you have some pieces in the warehouse that you could lend us. he said, oh, no, everything she is so good that it's all here in the in the residence, in the mansion. and they gave us a chair from the green room and a painting which was pretty cool. but you know, her, her efforts at the white house building on jackie kennedy started. tell us a little a little bit more about them. oh, indeed. white house historical association. of course, jackie kennedy starts this, i believe, 62 rooms around there. so mrs. kennedy deserves credit for starting that. but of her time in the white house was short then lady bird comes in and lady bird is into and outdoors of course famously and did a bang up job on that. to be fair to lady bird, she couldn't have touched anyth

white house from the biden white house back into the trump white house. i know you were talking to chris emery before about just the machinations of how exactly that works. but there are essentially incoming and outgoing moving trucks close to the white house, ready on standby, and some hundred members of resident staff as our betsy klein reported, to move the biden stuff out and then begin the process of moving the trump stuff in after a period of, of course, a deep cleaning that goes on across the white house. there will probably be some five hours between now and when the staff here need to get everything done and later, when the trumps return here to the white house as the first couple once more, it will kind of be like maybe they never left. their furniture, art, clothing, all of that should be, if everything goes smoothly, in the places that they are supposed to be. so that they can now proceed to live at the white house once again for another four years. >> tim naftali, what we're about to witness, talk a little bit about the history of that, the h

both sides, the white house. and then any moment now they're gonna make a left and head down the 16 blocks on pennsylvania avenue. so here they are on 15th street here washington. you are. if you're wondering, how are we getting the shots? there is group known as the pool that get stuff that gets randomly assigns to the president and and they are the ones who are taking these images. i believe in any event event, the images of them going down, 15th street here and they're going to be moving down pennsylvania avenue block by block by block. potentially or maybe down constitution will seem like an event. and it is a very short ride. for these 2 men, mulvaney, someone who knows what it is like to be in side. this vehicle inside ndthe beast with donald trump joins me live a remarkable moment here. >> as we hear some cheers, it actually listen to this for a second and i'll get you momentarily. so, we're not this is a take different take on this because of the weather weathe today. but r still just a special. what's it

they still have the same office structure in a white house. in your opinion, what elements make for a successful transition? guest: transitions are made up of law that goes back to 1963. the law has really been very bipartisan in both houses of congress. you have people looking at how the transition worked, where their problems, and how do we fix it? it is one of those areas, there are very few of them left, that is bipartisan. in addition to the law, it is usually based on actions that are based on precedent. what did somebody do in the past? the trump transition out of office to biden, the person who was running the day to day operatio slidell, worked on the basis of precedent in talking with people in the government who were familiar with what happened in the past. but i think another element is a tacit understanding by both the incoming and outgoing presidents and their teams that, that, what is, what is happening is going to be more important than they are. there is a tacit understanding that, that they should do the best job possible, eve

all the action now is happening within a couple of blocks here of the white house. president-elect stayed across the street at blair house. just left there a short while ago. went around the corner to where alexandria hoff is to st. john's church. come back to the white house before heading to you and the capitol. the president of the united states for now, joe biden, he was busy this morning signing a number of pardons. he issued preemptive pardons to congresswoman liz cheney, general mark millie and dr. anthony fauci. in doing so biden says he believes in the rule of law and optimistic the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. these are exceptional circumstances. can't in good conscious do nothing. the politically motivated investigations are an issue. he said they didn't do anything wrong but worried about the weaponization of government. so therefore he has issued those pardons. republicans were the ones saying it was a weaponization of government against then former president trump over the last four years. but then there will

chief white house correspondent mary bruce starts us off. morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, donald trump is starting the day at blair house trb presidential guest house. in just a few hours he will again be sworn in, becoming the 47th president of the united states. but the day not going as originally envisioned. the bitter cold here is scrambling plans at the 11th hour, forcing the swearing in ceremony to move indoors to the capitol rotunda for the first time in 40 years. it means far fewer people will be able to attend the ceremony. the guest list has had to be slashed. and there will be no parade down pennsylvania avenue. it also means trump will be able to avoid the potential for smaller crowds because of the dangerous weather. now, in addition to former presidents, dignitaries and members of congress, tech billionaires elon musk, jeff zuckerberg made the list. >> george: mary, we're going to have the traditional departure from blair house in just a little bit for a ceremony at the church, st. john's church, this mo

correspondent outside the white house.jia, you have covered this president so closely. what do you make of how he made up this address, not only the accomplishments, that he feels he did not get credit for, but also this morning in a very populist tone. >> reporter: well, norah, frankly i expected much more about his accomplishments and his personal story in this farewell address because white house sources had talked about leading up to this moment how this was not just an exit from the white house, but this was an exit from 50 years of his public service, and he really wanted this to be personal and positive and nonpartisan, but certainly his message was dark, in many ways, as he issued those warnings, and even though he did not mention any of his political opponents by name, including trump, even though he did not talk about those tech tycoons who are now weaved into the trump administration, certainly almost every warning he had was a veiled strike at them, whether it was miss amp this information, talking about the la

the white house has just released these images. migrants lined up, handcuffed and led onto a military aircraft. we should note cnn cannot independently confirm the details because our crews were not there on the ground when these images were being captured. cnn white house correspondent priscilla alvarez is here to talk about this. priscilla, what are we learning about these flights? and we should note just we were just showing this a few moments ago. those images were tweeted out or posted by the white house press secretary. so this is coming from the white house. >> that's right. this is part of their show of force. after the president signed his executive order declaring a national emergency at the u.s. southern border. now, if we can bring the photos up again, because i do want to point out what's different here, it is the use of military aircraft that marks a difference from the way this was handled before. now the you see there a line of migrants. they are arrested as they or rather they are handcuffed as they are boarding th

it was never a formalized process like in other white houses. and that was will sharp, who was formerly the attorney general of missouri, but also donald trump's attorney who represented him and argued before the supreme court on several cases. he is now one of several personal attorneys that trump is bringing into his administration that was standing there with him as he was taking all these questions, signing all these executive orders, and really, you know, reprising a role that we saw often saw trump occupy the first time he was in the white house which was the extended q&a sessions. people who went to court, were convicted by evidence, or either plead guilty to this. >> without question, when you actually get down to fact of a mass pardon and shine the light on what is actually the consequences of that, it is much different than just a saying at a rally, as he has been doing for the last couple of years that i'm going to pardon the january 6th hostages. we have said endless times they are not hostages. but kaitlan, i am struck by from being

you're not in the white house this time around but is there gonna be the same shock and all viable or something different altogether. >> i think it's gonna be much more tense. we refer to it right now as days of thunder. i think the days of thunder starting next week are to be incredibly incredibly ntense. we spent years people developing the policies developing executive orders in the direction of where we want to take the movement and developing personnel many more people hit the beach many more cabinet people get confirmed much quicker gonna be many more executive orders most of these are the beginning all of them at the beginning the 50 they hit right away will be office of legal counsel days of thunder i think would be the concept starting next monday. >> heritage foundation aspi the groups that have been building playbooks like project 2025 and things that will infiltrate and have an impact on some of the policies of the administration? steve, did we lose you? that is the futuristic excitement i was talking about. can you hear me steve? >> i'm afraid i didn't hear you, can you r

was it a big blind spot in this white house?d, have seen the immigration issue play out in different ways, as the world has just changed so dramatically. this was a tough issue for the administration. it was one where we continually asked congress for more money to secure that southern border, and congress was unwilling to give it to this president, where, as you pointed out, a bipartisan broader solution that addressed so many of the issues was negotiated and was scuttled by the republicans because they didn't want to give biden a success and where finally he took executive action, which, um...was necessary but, again, without the funding we really need for the southern border. i think that it is, you know, an unfortunate example of how issues get caught in the political process here in the united states sometimes, and where problems that need to be addressed are not addressed, because one side or the other sees a political benefit or a political detriment to actually addressing the problem. one of the things that biden i think

he went back to the white house.the evening, so it wouldn't dominate the coverage all day long. they knew he didn't mention it in his inaugural speech. 57% of americans said they disapprove of this when they were asked by "the wall street journal." 50 of them strongly disapprove. so, i'll give him credit for political courage, i guess, because he did something that was deeply unpopular here by paroling these people. but, there's really no way to justify it. the fact that he showed a lot of stamina today doesn't really -- >> i want to hear from erin because we haven't heard from erin. >> i think if you're part of the trump team that's now in the white house today, that shock and awe, this big delivery today, of all the executive actions, but j6th especially, those pardons, this is exactly what donald trump said they were going to do. that is going to be the trump team's stance coming out of today. you wanted us to come in and getget of the paris climate accord. he has been talking about j6 detainees, hostages, whateve

so that's my kind of at the white house with donald trump will be arriving very soon. it is just off to 0 hours. gmc, we've been following donald trump's and know gratian and the follow up of the policy is that we're at the capital one arena and donald trump making a speech and talk you have all the executive orders that he has begun to. so i now go to the white house to sign a whole lot more or less close to petty call aid at who's still there at the reading that say, patsy reflects on what you've seen on you. what is it? 5 integrations you've covered over the is how does this one compare? and what does it tell us about the 4 years ahead? it tells us that this is going to be a very much a norm breaking presidency. yet again, as you know, they moved it inside because they said it was just simply too cold. it is really very frigid here across the country. but they moved it inside. they were able to fill up the stadium about 20000 people, far from the 220000 that they said had tickets to watch it on the mall. but we saw here, people waited for 8 hours as you see during s

meanwhile president biden preparing to be the president-elect at the entrance of the white house.rough what is happening. >> the north side entrance, you can see the gates are open to the white house complex, the president-elect can come in and they're going to be there to president biden and president-elect trump, melodia and the president, current president and the first lady 40 and coffee inside of there, it could be a very interesting conversation going on inside the white house because of the 11th hour pardon, president biden has made party general milley a anthony fauci your president trump claims for misleading americans of the covid causes and misleading himself president-elect try during the lockdown situation. the president pardoning the members of the general e-cigs commission, members of congress in the staff, that goes as far as to cover the d.c. police officers who were also testifying before the committee, members on the committee include former representative liz cheney and current senator adam schiff, the white house or the republicans in congress the head of the

i was in the white house on 9/11.staff in the white house. what i saw was a government that was not well prepared to handle a terrorist attack. how much of that is due to the truncated transition we had? it's hard to say. we didn't have as many national security senior leaders in place as we could have had, had we had a full transition. the 9/11 commission, which was sort of the most important summary of what happened for our country and why, highlighted the fact that, for president bush, the fact that he had not had his top national security team in place or in place for very long, was an important contributing factor to what occurred in our country. post—9/11, there has been a recognition that we live in a very dangerous world, and that understanding those dangers is a fundamental responsibility of the leadership of the united states government. the first weeks after the installation of a new president is a period of real vulnerability for the united states. inauguration day, even- as ijust say that, i literally get
