C. , the make America Great again welcome celebration. We have been hearing from some incredible fans out there, bands out there. Lee greenwood and 3 doors down. Pretty entertaining music. Oh, yeah. Fantastic. There are a lot of balls tonight but those guys have the most because they showed up. 35 of the democrats didnt turn out for the inauguration. What is it about liberals never showing up for work . Its a salary. It aint welfare, you deadbeats. They should fill those seats with all the detainees they released from gitmo. Apparently they are so harmless. And sharing the theme of positive energy, thank you for those charming words, greg. What do you make of this . Incredibly beautiful shot. I have to say the advance team and the Production Team that put that shot together, its stunning. From a production standpoint, look at the Lincoln Memorial in the background, and Mother Nature has cooperated so well. Its beautiful. Im very impressed. I had a good time teaching them the lyrics to god blessed texas. They caught on. They were singing. Eric, and incredibly moving moment, and you see the president elect donald j. Trump along with his wife melania and their family members and joining them. Celebrating and taking in this amazing moment. It was stunning. We came up on the show at 5 00 and Lee Greenwood came out and played god bless america. I was fighting back tears but i was so proud of everything that was going on. I agree with dana. My line was going to be god even cooperated with Donald Trumps inauguration bird Mother Nature, well take back. I was trying to be allinclusive and genderneutral. Lee greenwood playing proud to be an american, i was blown away. Think about the risk that a band like 3 doors down is taking. They will never be liked by their peers again. They they are getting amazing exposure and thats important. This is a brave act for an artist because they are going to be so despised by the liberals. Half the country who is pro trump may decide they like 3 doors down. Very positive moment. What do you think, juan . I really do think dana is right. This is a spectacular view and the sky is just gorgeous. I like Lee Greenwood. You know whats great about this is Walking Around d. C. Today, there are so many different kinds of people here today. You see the bikers in town, lots of people who i dont think think of themselves as, you know, friendly to washington are here in big numbers with their families. And thats pretty cool. This thing is going to cost, im told, like 200 million. Something like that. Its going to be the most expensive and inaugural ever but its not because of anything donald trump is doing. Hes got three balls, basically, which is a whole lot less than obama or even george w. Bush. Its because of security. I think there are going to be protesters here as well so in addition to what we are seeing which is the joy of the moment and the pass of power from one administration to another, its going to be a big weekend in d. C. For protest. Can i point out Something Else . That man, donald trump, he stood up. He was clapping. He liked it. Singing along. He gave a big hug to Lee Greenwood. I am telling you tomorrow you will get the left wing mockery will be thicker than Michael Moores thighs. They will talk about how there were no hip bands. Have a exploited patriotism and all that stuff. They will not see it as a real actual event that these people feel this man think this way. They will see it as something silly, something that their parents do. So many people enjoying this, excited to be there. So many people wanted to attend the concert. So happy to bring into your lives. Really beautiful because we are all right here being able to enjoy and have a front row seat to american political history which is an incredible moment. I love seeing the children and families that wanted to bring their kids here to be able to see this and learn about history first hand. This is a very special day for the president elect and his family. They call it a welcome celebration, whats happening out the link lincoln or morel. If i were down there as part of the celebration, i wouldnt worry about what anyone in hollywood or they left is going to say. Ignore them. Enjoy the moment. The events of the weekend. Many people will be here tomorrow to watch the swearing in. Theres the fun events, the balls. On monday, thats when the work is going to begin. Its great to have a weekend to celebrate. For anybody taking a look at that shot right there, they have to be proud and a little bit moved. Its packed down there and the atmosphere must be fantastic. Naysayers saying this is a divided country. From where we stand, you see people from all over the world, all over the country, which is the idea, unification. The election of barack obama is the most historical election, the first africanamerican. But this is the most unlikely one and in a weird way, i mean, barack obama had a better chance becoming president then donald trump did and that makes this, its kind of equally amazing and surreal because it was so unlikely and it was against so many odds and against so many critics and it still happened. I love that shot right there. What is going through that mans mind right now . Its so amazing that hes about to be sworn in as the 45th president. I bet he is thinking about dinner. Hes probably going, i hope they have steak or chicken. I think his election clearly unbelievable. No political experience, a business man. Ive got to say when i think about what he is going through right now, i think its a real transition. I think he is starting to appreciate that the performers who are here, the crowds were here, are for him, for the future president of this country. Tonight hes going to be people thought maybe he wont stick with tradition but hes going to stick with tradition. He is going to stay at the blair house tonight and be president ial. Maybe even go to st. Johns, the episcopal church, in the morning. Lets take a listen to 3 doors down. I know it gets better as we go oh yeah yeah im here without you baby but youre still on my lonely mind i think about you baby and i dream about you all the time im here without you baby but youre still with me in my dreams and tonight girl its only you and me everything i know and anywhere i go, oh, whoa it gets hard but it wont take away my love and when the last one falls when its all said and done it gets hard but it wont take away my love oh, oh, whoa im here without you baby but youre still on my lonely mind i think about you baby and i dream about you all the time im here without you baby but youre still with me in my dreams and tonight girl its only you and me yeah oh, yeah oh oh oh oh i am all alone god bless you my friends and god bless america. [cheers and applause] all right spread what what i like to hear from donald trump tomorrow . Something real, not sentimental or soaring. We have had soaring and one thing is for sure. Such sentiment always returns crashing to earth. Obamacare, irs, doj, our own, syria, benghazi, chelsea manning. Soaring rhetoric and a litany of failures. With drum, everything he says is simple. If obama was a sonnet, trump is a limerick. Trump says what he thinks. Hes a totem pole of transparency. It might not give you goosebumps but after eight years of being goosed, maybe simplicity is worth a shot. We used to call it common sense. The media is already writing mocking pieces about how trump connected with voters by speaking simply as if we are all adults drooling into our laps. It takes brains to understand a nation. Just ask hillary, if you can find her. Keep it simple, mr. Trump. Stress the positive, coming together, all that. We know those words arent going to matter to those who already hate you but the best response is patience and calm. Try it for a week. Who am i kidding . I give you 10 minutes. Eric, what do you hope to hear . Thanks, eric. [laughter] heres what i think. Speech is going to be about 20 minutes long. Donald trump can do 20 minutes. Thats nothing. I think were going to see here the impetus behind make America Great again. I hope we hear that, how that evolves. I hope he will stick to how hes going to make the economy better for everyone, not just the wealthy, and how hes going to keep us safe. I would get out of there and start signing executive orders. Its interesting to me the writing of the speech. We have had some great and allgirls beaches. Hes been looking at lincoln, Ronald Reagan but now i understand everyone is getting involved. Kellyanne conway, steve bannon. The speech is being written by steve miller, who wrote many of the speeches. The president elect is also very involved in the writing of the speech. He was trying to write it himself but now so many chefs want to stick their hands in the pot. You want him to Say Something to bring us together. I think thats what hes been trying to say. His whole point was against division and about unity. The division is being created by those who hate him so much. How about on twitter when he calls people stupid and liars . Does he get vindictive . Does he talk about the people who dont like him . No, thats obviously not the place. This is the time to celebrate our democracy. We had an election and people were able to vote and choose who they wanted to be the next president of the United States. He won the election. This is his moment. He gets to connect with the millions of people, those who supported him from day one and those who are waiting to see what he will do and what he will offer. Its time to unify and say i want to be the president for all of you and stressed that message. Can come riding in on a horse. What about that . Like ulysses s grant. He said he had been subject to slander and abuse and he viewed the election as vindication and he was right. I dont think peta would like him on a horse. Especially not an elephant. On Election Night when he gave his remarks, i remember a lot of people were like wow, great message. Imagine going to hear more of that. It will be interesting to see if he tries any humor. In an inaugural address, you usually dont have an attempt at humor but if anyone can pull it off, he could in a way that brings people together. As we said before the show started, laughter is the best medicine. I was joking. Eric, is it going to be scripted . I hope he stays on script. Short enough where he can, what he likes to do and you can see when he does it. He will be on the script and on the prompter and then off the prompter and throw in some anecdotal information. I am blown away at how beautiful this whole thing is. I think its fantastic. Can we stay positive for a little bit . I love this. This is amazing. Who are these people . Are they ravi drum. Entertainers who dont want to be recognized by the liberals in hollywood. Who is the biggest entertainer who is coming . Toby keith. Do we expect any surprises tomorrow . Could he do something no one has ever done before . Is known for doing things like that. Maybe he doesnt even have words. Wouldnt that be in surprise, no surprise . What would be a surprise, i wonder if he gets out of the car and walks a little bit. I hope he does but i dont know because there is such security concerns. Hes going to go right by the Old Post Office which is, as you know, the trump hotel. I would get out and walk then. You would walk right up the steps made well, no. I hear its beautiful, the hotel. Every trump supporter that comes to town wants to stay at the hotel. Do you think hes going to do anything, kimberly, like goes over the past election and the states he took. He did that on the victory tour. Do you think he will do that . He likes to do that. He will talk about north carolina. Kind of recount it. I think this is going to be to celebrate the majesty of the office, really being able to celebrate Inauguration Day which is pretty spectacular for everyone to get together and watch it. I had a great point. Put it in your great point journal. They want to go to the piano gu guy. [cheers and applause] okay, america. Its time to put our differences aside. Its time to unite our hearts, minds, and voices as one because when we do, its going to be okay. Doubt is a broken record that plays inside my head i try it to turn it down but i cant quite drown it out im tortured every day these never ending worries pulling on my sleeves so many times now im supposed to tap out all the walls would fall down around me all anybody would tell me is all that bad news how its gonna fall through but no matter what they say or what they say its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey no matter what youve been through here you are no matter if you think youve fallen apart its gonna be okay and there is a battle raging in your heart but you must win its come for all of us saying we are not enough so fight for your life the worlds gonna try to sell you some lies so many times now im supposed to tap out all the walls would fall down around me all anybody would tell me is all that bad news how its gonna fall through but no matter what they say or what they say its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey no matter what youve been through here you are no matter if you think youve fallen apart its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey its gonna be okay its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ok its gonna be, gonna be ok no matter what youve been through here you are no matter if you think youve fallen apart its gonna be, gonna be ok ey ey ey ey its gonna be okay all right, if you love america, we need to stand up and lift our voices together as one.
