It is tuesday, january 17. Im alex witt alongside louis burgdorf. Less than 80 hours until donald trump officially becomes president of the United States. And despite the president elects largerthanlife personality, the inauguration activities will be scaled back compared to recent years. There will be three days of festivities compared to five for barack obama in 2009. Just three for the inaugural balls, 14 for clinton in 1993, and the inaugural parade lasting only 90 minutes, the shortest on record. Still Trump Associates say they have raised 90 million in private money compared to 53 million for obamas first inaugural, ten official balls. The donors to trump will soon become public as a federal law passed under george w. Bush requires president s to reveal the names of contributors within 90 days of taking office. Though his term begins officially at noon on friday, trump said that the work will begin in earnest next week saying he will sign orders beginning, quote, day one, which i will consider to be monday as opposed to friday or saturday. Right . I mean, my day one is gonna be monday because i dont want to be mixing it up with lots of celebration. After a heating exchange between congressman john lewis and the president elect, people paid tribute to dr. King. Some by volunteering their time to improve their communities and others by attending Church Services like the ones at Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in atlanta where dr. King once administered. His pulpit became a political rallying point yesterday once more. At the end of the day, Donald Trumps come and go, but justice will still be here. We got to have the courage to cross the lines, to meet people with different ideological barriers. We cant keep not talking to each other. Mr. Trump said, atlanta has done a great job, an amazing job, and we are just happy to be here. That was mr. Trumps statement ten years ago as he stood preparing to open two towers in john lewis fifth congressional district. That was ten years ago. I dont know what changed. The city of atlanta has the Third Largest concentration of the fortune 500 businesses. I think the city of atlanta has given to the United States of america and made america great. What was your problem with the state of atlanta . Congressman john lewis spoke at a tribute to dr. King where he did address the controversy head on when introduced by marco rubio. I want to talk directly to the young men that are here as well. I want you to imagine being the year you are now, maybe a year older, and believing in something so passionately youre willing to have your head cracked open, youre willing to go to jail 35 times. Youre willing to have police dogs sent at you. But i hope the young men will understand that you are sitting in the presence of a true American Hero with congressman lewis, one of the most extraordinary figures in america. And so when we think about courage, the 21st century courage is not being unafraid of having a negative story written about you or have people say nasty things about you, courage is the willingness to stand up for your principles no matter what the consequences may be. You must never, ever hate. Love is a better way. The way of peace is a better way. Never give up never give in. Stand up, speak up. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, we have a moral obligation to do something, to Say Something and t be quiet. And back at trump tower, shows of reconciliation. The president elect was told by andrew young that john lewis is a saint. Hes disillusioned right now but hell come back. He met with the eldest son of the icon. And the president elect is working with him to make it easier for people to vote. Did he allay your concerns that hell be a president for all people, black and white . Well, certainly he said that, but hes going to represent americans. He said that over and over again. And i think well continue to evaluate that. I think the nation supports i believe that is his intent, but i think also we have to consistently engage with the pressure, public pressure. It doesnt happen automatically. My father and his team understood that, did that. And i think that americans are prepared to do that. Isnt there something that just cuts to your core when you hear the president elect refer to john lewis as all talk and no action . Nothing can be further from the truth, isnt that right . John lewis is not all talk and no action. No, absolutely i would say that john lewis has demonstrated that hes action. As i said, things get said on both sides in the heat of emotion. And at some point this nation, weve got to move forward. People are literally probably dying. We need to be talking about how do we feed people, how do we clothe people, how do we create the best Education System . Thats what we need to be focused on. The trump system picks up on capitol hill with the Senate Hearing for congressman ryan zinke of montana starting at 10 00 a. M. And potential education secretary betsy devos starting this evening at 5 00 p. M. Zinke is a former navy s. E. A. L. And described him as a Teddy Roosevelt republican who will represent sky country in november. And betsy devos looks to be more contentious with Teachers Union mobilizing to stop the Charter School advocate from becoming the top education official. Devos will face questions from Elizabeth Warren about her experience at public education, but devos has help from senator Lamar Alexander who says shes swiftly be confirmed by the full senate. And shell be introduced by joe lieberman. Devos hearing was set for last week and was delayed by pending closures. And the billionaire admitted to a 125,000 donation to a Group Fighting the occlusion of collective bargaining rights in the state of michigan. She acknowledged the mistake, louis. And the search for mh370 has been called off. Malaysia, australia and china said the crews have finished sweeping the 20,000 kilometers search zone. The flight left kuala lumpur to malaysia in 2013 when the plane went down. The request to find the missing airliner has given few results despite several pieces of debris of the plane washing ashore in africa. The statement from the Search Organization was, the decision to suspend the underwater search has not been taken lightly nor without sadness. We again take this opportunity to honor the memory of those who have lost their lives and acknowledge the enormous loss felt by their loved ones. Thats tough. The main suspect behind the new years eve nightclub attack in istanbul has been arrested. Turkish Police Released this photo of the suspect after he was apprehended after a Police Operation in istanbul. Istanbuls governor identified him as an Uzbekistan National who trained in afghanistan. The previously released selfie video shows the suspect in istanbul days before the shooting. He had been on the run since the attack that killed at least 39 people and left 69 more wounded. At least 16 other people have been arrested in connection with the shooting. Isis has claimed responsibility although its unclear if the attack was directed or inspired by the terror group. A local official said the suspect confessed to carrying out the massive attack after they found his fingerprints to match those of the shooter. And Officials Say noor salman was charged in florida yesterday for aiding and abetting a terrorist organization in the june 2016 attack. This video obtained exclusively by nbc affiliate kntv shows federal agents descending on the home of salman where shes been living since shortly after the attack. Her attorney said yesterday that salman had no advance knowledge of what her husband was planning and shouldnt have been charged. And that she was abused by her husband. The attorney general Loretta Lynch said that these new charges show federal investigators commitment to this case. This is a matter that we continue to take very seriously. It was always our goal and we said from the beginning, we were going to look at every aspect of this case, of every aspect of the shooters life, to determine not just why did he take these actions, but who else knew about them. Was anyone else involved . Is there any other accountability that needs to be had here in this case . Well, former nasa astro gna Eugene Cernan, the last human to walk on the moon, dies at the age of 82 after health issues. He went twice to the moon. And he holds the title to be the second american to walk in space and the last human to leave his footprint on the lunar surface. The final time nasa sent people to the moon was the apollo 17 mission that took off in december of 1972. Upon landing, cernan said, we would like to dedicate this to all those who made it possible. One of the things we did in that very early phase was deploy the flag, put the American Flag in the surface. I have always said, we didnt do it to say, this piece of moon belongs to the United States, we did it to say thank you to all those people out there who made it possible for us to be there. In all, Eugene Cernan logged 560 hours in space, and 73 of them were right on the moons surface. Pretty cool. You may be a white sox fan, but yesterday president obama welcomed the world Series Champion Team to the white house. The cubs won their first title since 1908 by defeating the cleveland indians. They provided president obama with several items including a 44 jersey and a lifetime pass to wrigley field. While it was mostly the time for celebration, the president did let politics seen in when talking about the president thoe epstein. Theo job is to quench droughts, 108 in chicago, he takes teams and delivers them to the promised land. I have talked to him about being dnc chair. But he has decided wisely to stick to baseball. Last time the franchise visited the white house was way back in the administration of Grover Cleveland in 1988 when the team was called the Chicago White sox.
