Audrey, we are getting everyone lined up into where they are going. The people closest to us are going into the st. Johns Prayer Service in just a little bit. The people over there, some have been there since 2 00 this morning, are attending the inauguration parade. You know, i just talked a couple of people of the who drove in from jacksonville florida, some from massachusetts, another couple came from seattle, they drove for four days to get here.

We will continue to follow this situation here at 12 and eight, but in the meantime, i want to send it to the white house where John Gonzalez is standing by. Same, good morning. We are live at Lafayette Park directly across the street from the white house this morning. Take a look, it is still dark but you can actually barely see the white house because of a huge grandstand that was built for this inauguration parade. You can see that right there is the the pavilion if you will, with the president s seal right at the front. You have a lot of seating here, were soon to be President Donald Trump will watch the rest of the parade once he is done with it, once he goes through it, with his family, closest friends, and of course the new trump administration. And you can see down below pennsylvania avenue, all set up for the parade, a lot of the bunting and secret Service Walking around right now. We had to go through several layers of security to get to this point here. You have all of the bleachers for the ticketed guest that will be part of the historic parade, and we understand that the parade starts at 3 00, soon to be President Trump will be here at the white house sometime between 4 00 and 5 00, and that he will take his seats with his family to watch the rest of it. Eileen, we were told as we went through security this morning that the umbrella policy that change late yesterday has been changed again. No umbrellas at all, so hopefully, the rain holds out. And johnny, its actually not. We are really forecasting this rain, so a rain jacket is definitely the way to go, one with a hood, and you will want it just to keep warm because it will be chilly. It is cold out there right now, temperatures will be in the 40s. So, much cooler than it has been. As we look at it in perspective, this may go down as one of the fourth mildest inaugurations. For anybody commuting, right now the Early Morning drive will be okay, showers developing probably 10 or 11 00. We will have wet pavement through lunch and through the evening rush. By the evening rush, most of the rain is out of here, and we will just have wet pavement, kind of a yucky day, i hate to say.

Ninth and 12th street doubles are blocked off, and east street is shut down as well. Now, you do have access from the 14th street bridge to the expressway to 295. If no access on the lower 14th street. Keep in mind across the lower potomac it is, is close to virginia avenue. Gw parkway heading towards the Memorial Bridge, those ramps are closed.

Thats right, dozens of planning to skip the protest because the president elect actions in the past. Anthony brought a virginia representative terry connelly. The decision has caused outrage, but one professor said the boycott is not as unusual as you think. The difference though is the attention. Man this idea that its a kumbaya moment is historically just not the case. From john kennedy on, i cant recall an incident in which it is been so public in kind of a Critical Mass of lawmakers. Maryland congressman Elijah Cummings said he today. The dc mayor bowser will also be in attendance. Elder holmes norton, recovering from surgery is not expected to be in attendance.

A freezing rain advisory of there, but we dont have anything to worry about here locally, showers moving in, roads will turn white, and the first area his areas like perryville by 5 52, on towards chantilly by 6 04.

Jeff, what are you seeing in their . Reporter well, we were just talking about the planning, and it really is remarkable. Everywhere you look, you get a sense of how much planning went into or goes into this event, because of just a huge apparatus you see that comes together to make this happen. This is a security checkpoint over here come the corner of 12th and constitution, the people representing just about all federal agencies, members of the law enforcement, members from pennsylvania, new jersey, all over the place. This is constitution barricades and tour buses as far as the eye can see, bringing in those members, running smooth, getting things together. It does feel like up a little bit of the calm before the storm, though things are starting to pick up here with every passing minute. We are here at the media check and stage share at 12 and constitution, and not only members of the media waiting to get in, but members of the public as well. Im joined by lori, coming from boston, massachusetts. Good morning to you. Good morning. You brought your children here . My three girls. Why did you want to be here today, lori . A multitude of reasons, really, i wanted my children to witness the inauguration, democracy a pork, and we really wanted to support but happen. We knew it was a contentious campaign, but now its time for all of us to come together and listen and see what the plans are. And i think if we as americans come together, and we support this event, i think the things can only get oh very inspiring words, i appreciate it. Have to ask you, weatherwise, are you ready for the wrinkly. We are, we are here rain or shine. Thank you lori, so much. We hope you have a wonderful day here in dc. A lot of excited people, the pace is in up with every passing moment as we get closer to the big moment coming up here in just a few hours from now. Thats the scene at 12 and constitution. Now, we go to John Gonzalez at Lafayette Park right by the white house. John, how are things looking over there . Jeff, its a lot have a very busy morning, a lot of activity with the secret service already, as you can imagine, we are live right across from the viewing stand, the president ial viewing stand. This massive structure built right in front of the white house. His dark back there, but you can see the white house just behind the grandstand here, where the obamas are waking up for the last time after eight years, waking up here for the last nine. Down below, you can see all here, and also limousines and suburbans have arrived here, parked on pennsylvania avenue, perhaps one of the more important and essential convoys of the day, as they are set up for what is going to be a very busy day of course for president elect donald trump. And you know, a lot of. Well as is with all of the festivities and ceremonies going on today, here at the white house, there truly is a mad dash this morning, and it is already started. The transition, perhaps just as much a part of the tradition as any other historic moment to the. This will be injurys first president ial transition. It has been described in years past as five hours of controlled chaos as part of this transfer of families, the obamas last official event. President obamas last official event here at the white house will be coffee with president elect donald trump. Course, Donald Trumps tasers the white house here, then the Prayer Service, and then coffee here. The obamas should be heading out of the white house for one last time at around 10, 10 33 the north portico, heading towards the u. S. Capital. The new president and his family will arrive here at their new home between four and 5 00 after taking part in the parade, and then they of course will be sitting here in the pavilion watching the rest of the pray. Its always been fun to watch in years past what the president s word. Sometimes they going to the white house, get cozy, if its cold, put on extra layers. Its not terribly cold, but we will be watching. I can side, security around the district is tight. There active checkpoints and barriers throughout the city for both vehicles and pedestrians. Yesterday, 300 Police Officers were sworn in as deputy marshals, coming in from as far away as oregon and minnesota, and that is on top of the thousands of National Guard troops, dc police, if youre heading to the inauguration, dont forget umbrellas, backpacks includes, any type of weapons are not allowed. A small told umbrellas are allowed, but no umbrellas. John gonzalez reporting earlier this hour allowed near the reviewing stand today.
