1. SOUNDBITE (English): Sean Spicer, Incoming White House Press Secretary:

"The president-elect continues to make edits and additions to his inaugural address. We will, we will have further updates on that, but I know it was asked yesterday, in the speech, it's going to be a very personal and sincere statement about his vision for the country. He will discuss what it means to be an American, the challenges that we face as members of the middle class, they face. He'll talk about infrastructure and education. Our manufacturing base. I think it's going to be less of an agenda and more of a philosophical document, a vision of where he sees the country, the proper role of government, the role of citizens. So look forward to that tomorrow."

2. SOUNDBITE (English): Sean Spicer, Incoming White House Press Secretary:

"Yeah, I'm going to have to continue to update you on that. The president-elect is continuing to get briefed on some of the orders he wants to do and the sequencing thereof. I think we've talked about that for a few months now. Obamacare, the fight against ISIS. He talked about immigration, key issues that have been important to him throughout the campaign that will continue to be important to him in this administration. He is committed to not just day one, but day two, day three of enacting an agenda of real change. And I think that you're going see that in the days and weeks to come. What he's trying to do is ensure a proper sequencing Staff is continuing to meet with him about that, but again, I think you'll see some activity on both tomorrow, over the weekend and then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So, it's going to be a robust, not just day one, but I think first week, first month and probably first term."

Incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer gave a brief preview of US President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural address and also talked about priorities for the first days of Trump's administration.

Spicer says to expect a busy first month and beyond.
