>> pelley: this is our western edition. for the 44th time, the american presidency has passed from one man to another peacefully, but just blocks away today there were violent protests. donald trump took office at noon eastern time on this 20th of january as the constitution requires on the west front of the capitol, as tradition demands. like all things trump, his inaugural address was uncompromising, populist, isolationist, a philosophy from the early days of the republic, which found its 21st century voice. mr. trump said "on this day, power returns to the american people." the day was filled with tradition. it began with mr. trump and his wife, melania, attending a prayer service at st. john's episcopal church. >> how are you? >> pelley: then a short drive to

the white house for tea and coffee with the outgoing president. mrs. trump came with a gift for michelle obama. the 44th and 45th presidents rode together from the white house to the capitol. ♪ ♪ and in a show of unity, three other presidents-- two democrats and one republican-- were there to witness this passage of power. and so was the woman mr. trump defeated, hillary clinton. supreme court justice clarence thomas administered the oath to the new vice president. >> i, michael richard pence... >> pelley: and the chief justice of the united states, john roberts, swore in mr. trump. >> so help me god. >> so help me god. >> congratulations, mr. president. ( applause ). >> pelley: the sound of 21 guns saluted the new commander in chief. his inaugural address set the tone for his presidency. >> americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for

themselves. but for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. >> pelley: mr. trump escorted his predecessor to a marine helicopter, and we can only imagine what mr. obama was thinking as he surveyed washington for the first time as a former president. within minutes, the new president got to work, making his cabinet nominations official, and the veteran deal maker got his first taste of washington horse trading. >> tom is not insulted. >> mr. president, mr. president, the leader... >> we raise our glasses to you. >> pelley: the trumps and the pences were guests of honor at a luncheon at the capitol. mr. trump and hillary clinton

shook hands for the first time since the election. president trump led the inaugural parade along pennsylvania avenue. mr. trump watched from the reviewing stand in front of his new home as bands and marchers from all over america paraded by. it was a dark, drizzly day in washington. president trump's speech forecast a brighter future, but condemned the nation's capitol. here's our chief white house correspondent major garrett. >> today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another. but we are transferring power from washington, d.c. and giving it back to you, the people. ( applause ) >> reporter: president donald j. trump use his inaugural address to speak to those who propelled him to the presidency, giving voice to the frustrated and fed up, the president criticized political figures in both

parties. >> for too long, a small group in our nation's capitol has reaped the rewards of government. washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. >> reporter: he revived protectionist rhetoric from the campaign trail. >> it's going to be only america first, america first. every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit american workers and american families. >> reporter: the president's address did not attempt to heal the wounds of the contentious election, but he did make an appeal for tolerance. >> through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

when you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. >> reporter: at a congressional luncheon, the president sounded a more conciliatory note, paying tribute to his defeated democratic rival. >> i was very honored when i heard that president bill clinton and secretary hillary clinton was coming today. ( applause ) and i think it's appropriate to say. and i'd like you to stand up. >> reporter: president trump and former president obama were

inaugural balls. over the weekend, the first family and white house staff will move into the residence, the oval office, in preparation for the first full day of the new trump administration on monday. >> pelley: major garrett in front of the trump white house tonight. major, thank you. john dickerson is our cbs news political director and the anchor of "face the nation." john, inauguration speeches are always about binding the wounds of the election, and bringing the country together, and that's not what happened today. >> no, this was straight out of donald trump's campaign, where he loved the roar of the crowd in front of him, and he gave his speech today to the crowd in front of him, those people who felt like their politicians had betrayed them. there were signs he was going to talk about unity, but usually with a unity speech you offer something to the people who are nervous about you as a president, who didn't vote for you. he offered unity, but only on his terms and attacked republicans and democrats, the politicians, by saying those are the ones who sold out those people in the audience.

>> pelley: as you say, he excoriated republicans and democrats alike. can he accomplish his promises, get them through congress? >> he's trying a new route which is basically to say i have a movement and i'm going to use the power of that movement to force you to do what i want. that's the theory. the other theory, though, i'm hearing from the hill, is they think this is a negotiating posture. this is the opening bid. he has got his group on his side, and he'll work out the details with lawmakers and we'll have to see how that all shakes out. >> pelley: john dickerson, thank you very much. john will have a prime-time special tonight with gayle king on the inauguration. that is coming up at 8:00 eastern time. more than 60 democratic members of congress boycotted the inauguration today. so will the new chief executive get along with capitol hill? nancy cordes takes a look. >> reporter: at the stroke of noon, democrats found themselves

out in the code, a minority party in the house and senate, now shunted out of the white house, too. >> i was hoping that he would say more to bring the country together. >> reporter: other democrats described the speech as a "dark portrait of america, crime ridden and weak." to people who say this speech was dark, isolationist, what do you say? >> well, it-- yes, it was isolationist, clearly. >> reporter: nebraska republican jeff fortenberry said the party may not agree with its new leader on everything, but there's enough common ground to keep them busy. >> i think there is a great deal to be accomplished that can be accomplished quickly, and i think the people are demanding it. >> reporter: starting with the creation of a cabinet. >> the ayes are 98. >> reporter: late this afternoon, the senate confirmed mr. trump's nominees for secretary of defense and secretary of homeland security. but republicans slammed democrats for holding up votes on the others. >> earlier today, the director

and deputy director of the c.i.a. resigned. they left. they're gone. >> reporter: fights are coming soon over a border wall, corporate tax cuts, a supreme court vacancy, and the repeal of obamacare. congressional democrats made a silent statement at the swearing in today, wearing buttons that read, "protect our care." they also began the task of rallying dejected supporters. >> but our response has got to be not to throw up our hands in despair, not to give up. >> reporter: democrats don't want to get stuck with the "party of no" label they pinned on republicans for years. so they made it clear today, scott, that they want to work on some of mr. trump's top issues like infrastructure spending and trade. >> pelley: nancy cordes on capitol hill. nancy, thank you. several blocks off the parade route, anti-trump protesters turned destructive and violent. more than 200 people were arrested, and at least six police officers were injured.

chip reid has more on this. >> reporter: protesters dressed in black, some wearing masks, moved through downtown streets, setting fires, smashing storefront windows, some fighting with police. officers dressed in riot gear responded with pepper spray and stun grenades. >> it is our duty to fight for our freedom! >> reporter: closer to the capitol building, members of the black lives matter movement chained themselves together, blocking an entrance to the national mall. several trump supporters scuffled with the group. >> out of the closet. >> into the streets. >> reporter: members of the l.g.b.t.q. community sang and danced as they blocked another security entrance. sessi blanchard traveled from poughkeepsie, new york to protest. >> there shouldn't be a lot of free passing to this. they have to be making an active

decision. this can't be, like, a fun event for them. they have to see the people they're hurting. >> reporter: nearly two dozen groups received permits to protest in washington today, but around the country, in san francisco, houston, and boston, groups also gathered to show their opposition to president trump. >> hell no, no trump! >> reporter: sam agre came to d.c. with a group of hotel workers. >> i think it's going to be four years of constant battling. i'm not a fan of this new administration at all. donald trump has shown time and time again he doesn't care about working people in this country. >> reporter: at one point during the parade, president trump, the first lady, and their son, barron, got out of the car and walked, but, scott, as they approached a large group of protesters, a secret service agent tapped the president on the back. that was the signal to return to the safety of their armored limousine. >> pelley: chip reid along the parade route for us. chip, thank you. coming up next on this expanded edition of the "cbs evening news," inauguration day in a midwestern state that made history. and later, we'll give a listen to inaugural music over the years.

begins his presidency, some of his former advisers are being investigated for possible links to russian officials. jeff pegues is looking into this. >> reporter: the sources tell cbs news u.s. investigators are looking at the business ties between some trump campaign

associates and russia. they are also tracking the finances of some of the hackers linked to the russian cyberattacks on u.s. political organizations. cbs news has learned that investigators have obtained information from human sources and are delving into electronic communications between individuals connected to mr. trump and russian officials. one name that continues to surface is that of mr. trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort. in a statement today, manafort said, hope hicks, a spokeswoman for president trump, said, "we have two weeks ago, then-president- elect trump was informed by f.b.i. director james comey of a 35-page dossier that contained unsubstantiated information

about his ties to russia. the document was compiled by a then former british intelligence agent. sources say u.s. intelligence continues to probe the veracity of the claims. >> it's all fake news. it's phony stuff. it didn't happen. >> reporter: after the dossier was published online, trump denied the allegations and accused the intelligence community of leaking the material to hurt him. >> and that's something that nazi germany would have done and did do. >> reporter: outgoing c.i.a. director john brennan denied that anyone in the intelligence community leaked that material, but, scott, in an effort to mend fences, tomorrow, president trump is scheduled to visit c.i.a. headquarters in langley, virginia. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom, thanks. up next, inaugural soundtracks. when all politics is vocal. ♪ my country 'tis of thee sweet land of liberty

have a look at this. this is the 44th president, in the last few minutes in the oval office this morning, barack obama left a personal and private message in the top desk drawer for mr. trump. it is a tradition begun by president reagan. then, we heard president trump's message for america in his inaugural address. >> january 20, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. from this day forward, it's going to be only america first.

we must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. we will reinforce old alliances and form new ones, and unite the civilized world against radical islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth. whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots. together, we will make america strong again. we will make america wealthy again. we will make america proud again. we will make america safe again. and, yes, together, we will make america great again. thank you.

god bless you. and god bless america. thank you. god bless america. >> pelley: organizers of today's event were expecting about 800,000 people on the national mall. so how did the speech go over with them? here's kris van cleave. ( cheers ) >> reporter: wrapped in the flag, hearts on their sleeves, or wearing the signature trump fashion statement, hundreds of thousands turned out to celebrate what the new president promised would be a new start. >> we will make america great again. >> reporter: while most of the crowd cheered, a handful of protesters shouting, "defend democracy" moved through the masses, but they were mostly ignored. others protested at a safe distance. >> there are millions of us. >> reporter: from the vast sea of trump supporters. laurie stanley was hoping the protests would stay peaceful. >> if we start listening to each

other rather than yelling at each other, maybe we'll find that we have more in common than we think. >> reporter: but that's not what maureen gilligan concluded from president trump's speech. >> it was more divisive than it was kind of bringing people together. so i was hoping it would be more kind of looking at everybody. >> reporter: her college roommate, rita cobick, didn't care. she attended every inauguration but one since jim carter took office. fran malik and his friends took the brave step advertising their religion, despite mr. trump's vow to ban all muslims. but malik told us he took some solace that the president singled out radical islam and not all muslims. >> radical people are bad people. they're the terrorists. they're the actual terrorists. so we need to stop them. i donald john trump do. >> reporter: at the end of the day, pat balderman summed up

what many told us. >> i hope he can do half of what he said he thinks he can do. that would be wonderful. >> reporter: it will be at least a week until we have an official estimate on the crowd size today, but, scott, we know from past experience, the area between the capitol and the washington monument here on the mall can hold 800,000 to 1 million people. today, they did not fill that area. >> pelley: kris van cleave on the mall tonight. kris, thank you. the 70-year-old president wasted no time getting to work today. here's margaret brennan. >> the time for empty talk is over. now arrives the hour of action. >> reporter: within hours of being sworn in, the new president got down to business with congressional leaders, >> known as bowk around instructing federal agencies and departments to freeze regulations. >> from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. >> now president trump will try

to turn his vision into policy. that requires getting congress to approve the rest of his cabinet, now that retired generals james mattis and john kelly has been confirmed as the president also plans to announce his nominee to the supreme court within two weeks. there's been a vacancy on the bench since the death of antonin scalia almost a year ago. and next week, mexican officials will come to washington to begin talks about renegotiating the north american free trade agreement and building a border wall. mr. trump may also decide to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem, a move that would send shockwaves through the middle east. >> so nice to see you. how are you. >> reporter: the first family will also need to get accustomed to life in the white house. this week, the obama family's belongings were moved out of the executive mansion, and today, in just a few short hours, the trump family's were moved in and unpacked. president trump will begin his first day on the job with a historically low approval rating with the american public, and that could start to complicate his agenda on capitol hill.

>> pelley: margaret brennan for us on the parade route there in front of the white house tonight. margaret, thank you. now, let's bring in america's favorite washington correspondent bob schieffer. bob, what did you see today? >> well, it was the shortest inaugural speech in a long, long time. i think in some ways, though, it was the most shocking. we didn't hear donald trump talking about building a wall on the southern border. in some ways, though, he seemed to be talking about building a wall around the country. he talked about "buy american," "hire american." he talked about bad trade deals. he talked about traditional allies, and for too long, he said, "we have tried to protect their borders while neglecting our own." this was not a republican message. this was something much, much different. and to me, the shocking part of it was the way he tore into official washington, republican and democrat.

there was no outreach to either side as the leaders of washington sat on that platform with him. i also think, scott, if he's talking about building a wall around america, i'm not sure there's a consensus in either party right now for that. i think he's going to have some rough going ahead. >> pelley: in the few seconds we have, can he make progress with the congress now? >> well, that remains to be seen. i'm not sure-- what he said sounded good to the people who put him up there. his hard-core supporters. i'm not sure how well it went over with leaders in either the republican or democratic party. he can't do anything by himself. he's got to have some help up there, and i think he has to start tomorrow to try to find that because i'm not sure this helped him today. >> pelley: the insight of bob schieffer. bob, thank you so much. for only the fourth time in american history, there are now five living former presidents,

jimmy carter, george h.w. bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, and barack obama. george h.w. bush, 92 years old, was the only one who was not at the inauguration today. he is in a houston hospital recovering from pneumonia. today, a breathing tube was removed, and he is improving. blocks from the white house but far removed from the peaceful transfer of power, anti-trump protests turned violent today. more than 200 people were arrested. six police officers were wounded. here's errol barnett. >> reporter: vandalism aimed at downtown businesses prompted riot police to descend on these unruly protesters. one demonstrator threw a flash- bang grenade back at police. it exploded in an officer's face, leaving him with minor injuries. this is k. street. it's where many lobbyists have their headquarters in washington, but today, it appears like a conflict zone.

you're seeing an example of the thousands of police officers who have been out in force. these are metro officers in riot gear. they're trying to protect people and prevent any more businesses from being damaged. vivian has lived in washington since the 1980s. >> i'm just amazed at how many protests there are against the new administration, and i think rightfully so. >> reporter: this trump supporter could barely get a word in with protesters surrounding him. hannah zhang thinks the country is at a crossroads. >> i think trump's election is kind of really showing the two opposite sides of where america is standing right now. >> reporter: more than 60 groups with varying agendas had permits to demonstrate. most agreed on one common point of contention: the president himself. shanelle jacobs says protesters have a right to free speech. what do you make of the thousands of other people who protested today for many different reasons?

>> i say more power to them. i'm proud of them for actually stepping up and saying that they don't see eye to eye with the-- with president trump. >> reporter: michael coolum drove from connecticut. and it's only his first day. why not give him space and time to perhaps deliver on the things that you want? >> i don't think that you can ever wait to demand your rights. >> reporter: now, tomorrow we'll likely see even bigger anti- trump protests, scott, when at least 200,000 people are expected to flood the national mall for the women's march on washington. >> pelley: errol barnett in washington for us tonight. errol, thank you. mr. trump has said repeatedly that he wants a better relationship with russia. so we asked our foreign correspondent, elizabeth palmer, to give us the view from moscow. >> reporter: whether president putin was in his office behind the kremlin walls tonight or at home, he made no comment. earlier today, his spokesman dmitry peskov said putin was unlikely to watch the

inauguration live, but catch it later on the news. "donald trump," said peskov, "is not our soul mate." that's a frosty change from the surprisingly warm endorsement mr. putin gave mr. trump during the campaign. "he's a colorful and powerful man, and he says he wants to move to deeper relations. how can we not welcome that?" top of russia's wish list is to be treated by america as an equal, not a mere "regional power," as barack obama once called it. andrei soldatov is an expert on cyber espionage, and he says russian hacking during the election campaign was meant to damage hillary clinton, but it had an unexpected benefit. >> so russia and the russian role became a big story. >> reporter: and is that good or bad for russia? >> it's important for many people in the kremlin to feel that they might be treated as important country, something

like a superpower, and that's actually gives you something to be proud of. >> reporter: important enough that the new trump administration will decide to ignore issues that have poisoned u.s.-russia relations, like the invasion of crimea, or the hacking operation. and if president trump won't offer russia what amounts to a fresh start, scott, there are plenty of signs the kremlin's prepared to play hardball. >> pelley: elizabeth palmer in red square for us tonight. liz, thank you. coming up next on this expanded edition of the "cbs evening news:" will mr. trump's business interests cause problems for his presidency? and later, steve hartman with kids getting a lesson in civics and civility.
