Members of the delegation that are here and there we are seeing more of the some 200 animals that weve been hearing so much about. You can mark four off the list. Exactly. Senator tester is glad to be in this parade. He got reelected. After a tough battle, thats for sure. This is the wind river dancers, the Wind River Reservation all the way from wyoming. They are here to honor all of us with their performance. 6,000 short of their scaleddown fundraising. They are marching anyway and doing an excellent, excellent job. Right now i want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im wolf blitzer here in washington, d. C. Were right across from the president of the United States on the reviewing stand. There it is, the reviewing stand on the north lawn of the white house. Kate bolduan is here, jim acosta is here and were in the situation room, a special edition of the situation room watching the wind river dancers from the Wind River Reservation in wyoming performing for the president of the United States. Hes still there. Hes still in the reviewing stand. The first lady, sasha and malia have gone inside. I suspect they have to get ready for the balls for tonight. Its a very special day, obviously, but a very long day for the president and first lady. Up next, they will get ready and head to the balls and greet all of their supporters. As we see, up next here, on our parade root is the canine companions for independence out of virginia. You want to see animals, you see animals. Its finally all happening for me. These are special animals. They help wounded veterans. Its a special nonprofit we should take a second to honor. Excellent work for them. Brian todd is joining us right now. Brian, tell us where you are because you had a unique opportunity to see a side of this inauguration that a lot of folks dont often see. We did, wolf. Im down here on the mall right now which is is where we were earlier today. We were packed in tight with hundreds and thousands of people. The atmosphere was completely electric. It was grade to be among so many people. You couldnt move there in a lot of places because it was a lot lets just say it was more dense than this crowd behind us here. And a lot of people here had to endure hardship just to get here on the mall. They had to come a long way to get here. One of them, an incredible story. 85yearold juanita smith, she came here for her first ever inauguration. She brought her grandchildren here. She had a great time and was visibly overcome with emotion when she saw president obama getting introduced and she spoke to us a couple of moments after that. I feel just like crying and saying, its great to be an american and im great to be glad to be here. Reporter she was glad to be here. A lot of people we saw, as we said, endured a lot of hardship. We saw people in wheelchairs who had been waiting since 5 00 in the morning. One woman tore her knee over the weekend and walked on crutches. There is juanita who is overcome with emotion as she saw the president being introduced. Some of the crowd is still behind me. Did you guys have a good time today . Did you have a good time today . These are people taking in the moment. A lot of people want to linger here and soak up the moment. Brian, are they opening up the city where you are or is it still pretty much plugged up . Reporter a lot of the venues are opening up here. A lot of the gates have opened up. People can walk around the mall. Traffic is restricted but its a lot more open than it was hours ago. Was there a moment, brian, in your reporting today and i know you spent a lot of time out there with folks. Was there a moment that really jumped out at you that youll never forget . Reporter you know, it had to be the moment with juanita smith. Shes 85 years old. She told me in one of the clips that we did with her, in her lifetime she had endured a lot of hatred, hatred between the races, tension between the races. She was so proud to be here. She waited all hr life for a moment like this. There you see her again. She was incredibly overcome with emotion when the president was introduced and i dont think any of us who witnessed that will soon forget it. I think youre absolutely right. Brian todd with a rare moment indeed. This is the Pearl River Community marching band from mississippi. They are moving along together. They are not done yet, kate. If you want parade, weve got quite a ways to go and a lot of special performances ahead. John king, youve had an opportunity to take a close look at this special, special day in american history. Wolf, this is a time when everybody, all americans, whether they are here in d. C. , watching at home, democrats, republicans, independents, somewhere in between, everybody can and should enjoy this. This is a celebration of our democracy. Its nonpartisan parade. Obviously the president and Vice President are at the parade. Lets get a perspective on where we are because the parade i think we can all love. If you look at the commentary out about the president s speech, theres a wide ranging opinion about whether it was a good start to the second term or whether it was too partisan. Lets get around our group here and im joined by cornell belcher, ari fleischer, chief political analyst Gloria Borger and jessica yellin. Let me start with you, cornell. At the beginning of a second term, a speech with groundbreaking on gay rights laid out an agenda via to change immigration, gun control. Some of those things he could have tackled in the first term but shied away from. Your reaction, where do you think we are at this moment . I think what is big about this speech look, budget battles come and budget battles go. What is big about this is the gay rights talk. I dont think weve ever seen a founding father bridge the way he did. Its the moral of our Founding Fathers. Its interesting because he didnt use that to pivot and put stonewall in the same space and fail without controversy. Understand, a lot of civil rights leaders from that era resist putting the Gay Rights Movement within the civil rights movement. So i think when a lot of this has gone to pass, we will remember the bigness of the gay rights. Was it a big speech . Was it a partisan speech . Well, it was both. It had elements of boat. Let me agree with what cornell said. I couldnt help but notice the man who signed the defensive marriage act, bill clinton, opposed to gay marriage changed his position during the course of his presidency. Every speech before 2004, looking for a constitution to ban gay marriage. I welcome it. What i didnt welcome was the most polarizing president that we had became more polarized. This was a speech for the 51 who voted for him. There wasnt much more for the 49 who did not. It was a speech that talked about collective action by the government and when you look at the Biggest Issue that we face of this era, its the deficit. Its the trillion dollars of debt and the president didnt really talk about that. He talked about, were not a nation of takers but that weve become a nation of debtors. The president clearly is a smart man, a smart politician. Hes also a writer, a thoughtful person. If that is the speech, if the speech as ari described, why would he decide to give that speech . Whats the political goal . This is the last time hes getting sworn in as president of the United States. Thats why. I think its Martin Luther king day. Martin luther king was courageous. Martin made this point earlier that perhaps the president had some sense of guilt about not doing gun control and that it took newtown to get him to do that and so this is the speech you get to give once and i think there may have been a sense he wanted to be aggressive because he could and because he had to set out what he believes he said, im not going to get all of it, dont let the perfect nothing can be perfect. But i do believe he decided, why not, be essentially . You should make note that were watching the president ial parade. Its dark but the president is still in the reviewing booth. Hes enjoying the parade. You can see his smiles and hes been engaged with the groups and dancing at some points. Hes going to go to the balls tonight and party. You know full well from your service in the white house, a secondterm president has a window. It could be a year, could be two years, but he laid out those goals. Now what . Well, i think well wait and see but in my judgment, this was one of the most important speeches of his political career because it was the clearest samt of his political philosophy, his principles. I think he argued basically in the first term he inherited economic crisis and heres where i want to go and the opportunity i see for us. If this were a Foreign Policy speech, i think wed call it the obama doctrine. It was the firmest commitment weve seen to a Progressive Agenda and thats why the liberal community is singing hosanas and there are views coming in from the liberals that were holding back and saying, he almost declared war. This was not about unity. This is what i want to pursue. But jessica, if this is about who he is, i assume does he, i guess let me pose it as a question. Is it more important to be successful or lay out those principles where they are talking about gun control, immigration perhaps would have common ground, gay rights. Hes picking some fights with the conservative republicans who still control the house. He obviously he wants to succeed. I think this was an action speech and what he was doing was going building on what david was saying, he was calling on his supporters to what weve heard Lobby Congress from the outside and picking up on what we were talking about earlier with this message about equality and the Gay Rights Movement, that is his legacy to date he has done more than any other president on gay rights. He expanded Martin Luther kings vision not just to gay citizens but immigration reform. We could read into that that his next message is to fight for a broad effort on immigration. Now, the question is will that succeed and the problem, again, is where will he prioritize . Hes where republicans are going to criticize. This speech was good for the slices that make up america but it wasnt good for all of america and thats what republicans are going to point out. Well continue our conversation in a moment but lets get back to the parade. You see the transportation secretary there. I believe this is the coast guard band. Lets listen. This is the coast guard band. They have been honoring earlier the navy, marine corps, and now the u. S. Coast guard. You can see him there with the president of the United States. This is a nice tribute to the coast guard. They help us in so many ways that a lot of people dont even appreciate that they are there almost all of the time for us. Theyve done a remarkable job in all sorts of disasters and we are so, so happy to be able to salute the United States coast guard for the terrific work that they do. You see the president saluting the coast guard as well. Lets take a quick break and resume our coverage right after this. So. Howd it go . Well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning the art of dealmaking. Youve mastered monkeystyle kung fu . No. Priceline is different now. You dont even have to bid. Master hahn taught you all that . Oh, and he says to say translated from cantonese you still owe him five bucks. Your accent needs a little work. The Northern State university marching wolves of aberdeen, south dakota, a population of 2,000 traditional undergraduate students. Comprised of 120 members of the state and two foreign countries. Theyve got a powerful big sound as they go forward and perform for the president of the United States. Kate . Im telling you, ive never been a judge of marching bands but all of the marching bands that weve seen throughout the afternoon and this keeps going and going. Were not even done yet. These folks are all the way from south dakota. The amount of prep that goes into this, the amount of travel, being away from their families, the cost thats involved. They raised money through bake sales and what not, i imagine. Its a true american parade. And it happens quickly. It does. If you think about the time between the election and now, they dont have a ton of time for preparation to get ready and get here and get going. Its a good thing they are playing a lot of parade favorites. That helps, im sure. Yeah. These are the military spouses of michigan from detroit, michigan. Its a group of military spouses Building Support and services. Look at those kids. They are adorable. Military families, some of them black families, they make them available to family members and they have been doing a great, great job. Thats why they were involved to march here on this inaugural parade day. Clearly an issue close to the first lady and second ladys hearts, one of the major causes. It will be interesting to see what both of these women do in their in the second term. Im very interested to see what Michelle Obama does. And as a reminder as these wars wind down and the aircrafts in high school gymnasiums, mothers and fathers waiting for them after long duties overseas. This is Londonderry High School marching band from new hampshire. They are well known. They have performed at the parade in pasadena and the new york city st. Patricks day parade and they have performed overseas in the 2008 Olympic Games in beijing. By the way, on the left side of the screen, thats the commanderinchief ball. Kate, are you ready to go . I am ready to go. When are you picking me up . My tux is pressed and ready. Thats beautiful. Thats a beautiful shot of the Washington Convention center where the balls will be taking place. This is the commanderinchief ball. Fewer balls than previous years. Well have special Coverage Later tonight of all of the balls. Anderson cooper, erin burnett, piers morgan, they are spread out across this town and are watching what is going on. I think our viewers right after the situation room will want to see our coverage of the balls. I assume the first lady, the second lady, they are inside the white house now. They are getting ready. Oh, they have to. Thats right. Some amazing musical acts. Alicia keys, katy perry, soundgarden. Some of the same artists actually performed over the weekend for the kids inaugural concert will be performing again this evening. And our own piers morgan has an interview with Stevie Wonder today as well. We saw him at the ceremony on the west front. He was right below us. He was really getting into it. He loves politics. Ive met him myself on a few occasions and hes been so supportive of this president. He wanted to be here for the inauguration. Hell be performing and piers has a good interview with him. We have to mention this, this is from my home state of indiana. Did you know she was from indiana . I know it now. Dates back 100 years to Woodrow Wilson when culvers black force troop served as an escort. We are directly across from the reviewing stand where the president and Vice President they are still there. Although, there are some empty seats there. A lot of folks probably are getting ready for the balls already. There are a few more fans, a few more floats. Well take a quick break and resume our coverage right after this. So if ydead battery,t tire, need a tow or lock your keys in the car, geicos emergency roadside assistance is there 24 7.

Welcome back to our special situation room. Were watching the finale of these parades that have been going on here in washington. This is the Liberty North High School band from liberty, missouri. Its a band among the missouris most respected. They have been selected for several prestigious honors, bahamas, new york, st. Louis and elsewhere around the country. The president is still there. You can see ray lahood with the Vice President , the transportation secretary, the former congressman from illinois. You know, jim acosta, you see the president has been chewing a lot of gum there. Whats going on . I have emailed the white house for some explanation of this. We do know that the president occasionally chews nicorette gum. Dont want to speculate. Could be a cough drop. It could be regular gum. Thats right. They are all enjoying themselves and will enjoy themselves as we see the great entertainers who are getting ready to entertain the president and first lady. So much going on. Two major balls tonight and you can guess, as weve been talking about fashion throughout the day, it will be very big news whatever the first lady wears because that is what many eyes are waiting to see, the next outfit. Those are live pictures from the Convention Center on the left side of the screen. Some people are starting to come in but its still very, very early. These balls dont get going for a while. They dont get going for a while and they go for a long time. If you get there early, you should pace yourself. Maybe they are getting very good positioning. They are very fun and as jim pointed out, big name performers coming out for the president and Vice President. Probably not a bad idea to get out there early considering who is going to be playing tonight. Could be jampacked and probably busier. Yeah. And were going to have extensive coverage. In the meantime, were watching the parade going past the reviewing stand where the president and Vice President are standing there and they are appreciating whats going on. I want to see which band this is. Is it the frankfort marching band from West Virginia . Yes. And theres going to be dancers coming from las vegas. I think its almost over. Comparsa morelense. They have come all the way from las vegas to be part of this parade. I think the president is going to stay until the very, very end. As he should. As he should. They have all come very far. This group from las vegas, to come for this moment to walk in front of the president. I always enjoy turning around to try to catch the glimpse because even if youre dancing and even if they are trying to keep a very serious face, they always give one little glimpse to the left right as they are passing by the reviewing stage. I know weve seen colorful outfits but my goodness, this may be the most colorful group. This is a dance group from las vegas. I know your spanish is very good. But go ahead, kate. Comparza morelense. I dont know if i pronounced that right. They are very excited to participate in this inauguration parade. This is the central marching band from kentucky. They have come all the way from rural ap palaicha. And if youre the president , youve been reelected, this is your second inaugural, youre going to see it to the end. You are going to soak it up to the very last second. Thats one thing that we have noticed and noted throughout the day, is how the president and Vice President loves every moment but the president seems to really be trying to soak up every minute because he knows this is his last, obviously. All right. Lets go over to the national mall. John king is watching what is going on. John, pick it up a little bit. Wolf, we had a great crowd behind us earlier today. They have mostly gone away. Lets continue our conversation about the challenges in the second term and this moment, including the celebration were watching tonight, ari fleischer, cornell belcher, jessica yellin, Gloria Borger. This is part of our democracy, part of the great ritual, an example to the world of how we do things. This president began so let him celebrate tonight. What happens tomorrow . This is an interesting question for this white house because this is not where they thought theyd be. You know, when he was reelected, the expectation was he would begin with some sort of negotiation over the tax cuts, the tax bush tax cuts and they would have a plan to negotiate tax reform this year and wed be well into deficit deal and tax reform right now and then he could move on to the next agenda item. Well, it didnt quite work out that way. Now they have to figure out what is the first agenda item . Is it immigration . Is it going to be guns . So we have to figure out what are they going to move on right away . Wait one second because were at an important juncture. I want to go back to wolf for a second. I believe were nearing the end of our inaugural parade. This is the last band. This is the second to the last band. Go ahead. These are the firefighters of idaho performing together for the first time for the inaugural parade from idaho, as i mentioned, comprised of Fire Departments across the state. 20 bagpipers, seven drummers and the bagpipers are dressed in kilts, as you can see, while the other marchers are wearing color guard attire. The firefighters of idaho, were excited for the opportunity as everyone is to come and perform and represent their state in this 57th inauguration. And just behind them, the Virginia Military institute, lexington, virginia. And thats the last group that will be going forward, Virginia Military institute. They are marching now for the president and that will wrap up this parade. This inaugural parade here in washington, d. C. , recognizing the 44th president of the United States who was sworn in today for a second term and a public ceremony. Listen in for a moment. And thats it. The Virginia Military institute marching band and now the president and the Vice President , they will leave the reviewing stand. They are saying goodbye to some friends, v. I. P. S that were invited. The president will leave, go back inside the white house and put on a tuxedo and get ready to go to some of those inaugural balls. Im sure he and the Vice President and their wives will look very, very dapper, distinguished for such an occasion. Speaking of dapper our own piers morgan is over at the inaugural ball. Where are you, piers . Im in the middle of the inaugural ball and it is surprisingly very, very loud. Deafening noise behind me. Its the most extraordinary party. They expect at least 30,000 people galavanting in this very room. Im here with erin who is here with me tonight. We will bring you all of the latest action as it happens. You look extremely distinguished, piers. Were looking at the president. Can you share the designer, which tuxedo you have on tonight . Its one of many. You look very good. The sweet life. Fix the collar a little bit because its over your jacket a little bit. I want you to fix your jacket so here we are. The other side. Thats right. Now you look great. As you two continue talking about suits, we continue to watch the president and the Vice President matalking to the tuskogee airmen. Lets listen in to the president for a second. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. All right. They are putting their coats on. They are going to go back inside the white house. I wonder if the white house is going to drive over to the observatory air to change, get ready for the inaugural balls. There he is, the president of the United States going back towards the white house. Very, very happy man, as he should be on this very special day. Lets go back to piers for a moment. As we watch the president and Vice President leave the reviewing stand, head back towards the white house, give us a little preview of what you expect to see tonight. Well, theres two main balls. The inaugural ball is above us and the commanderinchief ball. You may remember the whole etta james propaganda last time. This time were not sure what that will be. That will take place upstairs and they are expected to come back down to the ball here and dance a few feet behind me. I had a great interview with Stevie Wonder who is performing at both the balls tonight and he was really great, actually. Hes one of the main i instigators. He was thrilled that the president was being inaugurated on this day today. He was delighted with the president s speech. He thought it was a powerful and rousing speech invoking the memory of Martin Luther king. He loved what he said about equality and the safety of children. He was very big on that and said to me, weve got to do something now about gun control in america and raised a really powerful point. He said, look, i can go to a store, i, Stevie Wonder, and buy a gun tomorrow. How safe do you think it would be in my hands . It was a powerful thing to say. Hes a fascinating guy, Stevie Wonder. Its an amazing moment to have a black president being reelected, reinaugurated on Martin Luther king day. He was with the first couple last night and their favorite songs is superstition and a few more. We may hear that tonight. Isnt she lovely, dont you think well hear that tonight . Isnt she lovely as well. He was harrowing down. But the performers is terrific, alicia keys, john legend, marc anthony, Stevie Wonder. It took two days to walk from one end to the other and there is vast amounts of alcohol. Youd love it here, wolf. I would love it. Maybe ill show up. You never know.

John berman, cnn, washington. And beyonce did in fact do an amazing starspangled banner. Quite a moment. The National Anthem once again from beyonce.
