S. , even before taking office, with all of the new auto plants coming back into our country, i believe that people are seeing big stuff. But automakers have stressed that their hands were not forced by the president elect, and that the only causeandeffect connection appears to be his repeated claims of credit for their decisions. In gms case, officials said todays move was years in the making. 1,500 new or retained production jobs, 5,000 positions, primarily in engineering and information technology, plus 450 blue collar jobs brought from mexico. Economist diane swank. These are longterm plans. You dont decide where youre going to build a manufacturing plant overnight. Reporter and yet, on january 3, when ford killed plans for a new plant in mexico, mr. Trump suggested the company had done him a favor. Thank you to ford, he tweeted, for scrapping a new plant in mexico and creating 700 new jobs in the u. S. This is just beginning. But ford said the decision was based on demand for their vehicles. Last week, when fiatchrysler outlined a big expansion, trump tweeted, its finally happening. But while that company said it was merely the second phase of plan made public a year ago, diane swank says the timing of such announcements is at least partly an attempt to get on the right side of the incoming administration. This is a time you take whatever is already there and put it up front. Reporter of course, all of these decisions were made on president obamas watch, scott. So hes the one who could loudly claim at least a share of the credit. But he has chosen not to. Dean reynolds for us tonight. Dean, thank you. The suspect in the ft.

Reporter in september 2015, Rhiannon Schade rushed her five monthold daughter daisy to an emergency room after a seizure. Daisy is fine, but her mother was unexpectedly hit with an anesthesiology bill for almost 3,000. At no point in time were we ever notified that the anesthesiologist didnt participate in our plan or were we given any choice. Reporter schade is not alone. More than one in five emergency room patients face what are called Surprise Medical Bills. Even though they went to an innetwork hospital, they were treated and billed by outofnetwork physicians.

Chip reid has the sound and the story. I, dwight d. Eisenhower. Reporter it was 1957, right before the second inauguration of president eisenhower when washington broadcaster Charlie Brotman got a call. She said, yes, mr. Brotman, you will be the president s announcer. Gulp the president s announcer im a nobody the university of texas band reporter announcing inaugural parades has helped turn this nobody into a washington institution. Youve been doing this for 60 years. 60, not to be confused. 60 years. Reporter 15 parades, 11 president s, and he has the programs to prove it. Youve got jimmy carter. Youve got ronald reagan. Youve got bill clinton. But this year, he was told his services will not be needed. I was really disappointed. Reporter are you a big admirer of charlie . Huge. Steve ray will be the new announcer. Some people will say hes earned the right to decide for himself when to stop doing this. I would say he does have that right. But in this case, the apolitical, nonpartisan president ial Inauguration Committee also has the right to choose how they put on the event. Reporter critics of the decision note that ray was a Trump Campaign volunteer. Even so, brotman doesnt blame him. Not a bit if i were he, id be ecstatic, too. Reporter in fact, brotman says, the story has a happy ending. Hell be covering fridays parade for a local tv station, reaching a much larger audience, and getting paid to do it. But youre okay .

This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im demarco morgan. Donald trump will take the oath of office this friday at noon eastern time, sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The inauguration is traditionally a time to celebrate democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. And its usually attended by every member of congress. But this time, about five dozen democrats in the house say theyll boycott the event. Nancy cordes tells us why. I do not intend to attend the upcoming inauguration [ applause ] reporter what started as a sporadic protest but has grown to include roughly a quarter of all house democrats. Theres nothing to celebrate. Reporter including pennsylvanias dwight e vans and tennessees steve cohen. When he questioned john lewis, they crossed the rubicon. Reporter mr. Trump slammed congressman louis as all talk and no action after he said he did not consider the Trump Presidency legitimate. Maryland congressman Anthony Brown posted a letter to mr. Trump online saying his twitter tirade showed a disregard for the office you will soon hold and demands my absence from your inauguration. Its a turnaround from the campaign when it was mr. Trump suggesting that the outcome of the election might be illegitimate. Ill look at it at the time. Reporter republicans like north dakotas john hoeven argue Inauguration Day should be above politics. Regardless of who wins, we all need to support our constitution. Reporter but most of the boycotting members come from overwhelmingly democratic districts wheres theyre unlikely to get much blowback.

Reporter democrats have also been emboldened by several new National Polls that show mr. Trump is taking office with historically low approval ratings, far behind president s obama and george w. Bush. Mr. Trump dismissed those polls on twitter today, scott, saying, they are rigged, just like before. Russian president vladamir putin continues to scoff at the idea that his intelligence agents worked to get donald trump elected president. And the kremlin is denying a british news report that the two have already set up a summit meeting in iceland. Elizabeth palmer reports from moscow. Reporter it was supposed to be a routine News Conference with the president of moldova. But president putin used it to pour scorn on anyone associated with washingtons dirty dossier. Those up verified allegations of sexual by donald trump. People who cook up hoaxes like that, he said, are worse than prostitutes. But then, in a sarcastic segue, he went on to remind everybody the details. Trump organized beauty contests, he said, and socialized with the most beautiful women in the world. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to a hotel to meet with russian girls of loose morals. Although, he added, we do have the best ones in the world. Finally, he addressed the future with mr. Trump in the white house. Im sure in the end, well establish normal interstate relations, responding to the interests of the people of europe, russia, and the
