Good morni steve and allison i know youngn were wondering i am wearing columbia outer wear today. Da. Okay. Ka looking sharp. Sha because it is what thehe fashion wet person is wearing out here today. Re tod thank you for that, steve. S. Reporter that tradition t you just showed a minute ago ata st. Johns church that is very v old tradition. Diton every president since john adams has worshipped at st. Johns church before proceeding on with the inauguration ceremonies. What we are doing here today ony the west front of the capitol,al that is not as old tradition. Only since Ronald Reagan in january of 1981 have inaugurations been hell on theon west front. Prior to that, they were allerll held on the east front but then somebody got the bright ideadea that maybe we should put this ii place where the sun actually has a chance of shining and thats why Ronald Reagan moved it on io this side and it has been a fantastic location ever since, because the length and breath ot the National Mall is spread outo in front of you and you are able to see clear into virginia even on a cold, rainy day like this one. Lets g at this podium here today. This is the inaugural stand fort the 58th president ialsint inauguration. What they are doing right now i putting the final touches on tos this area. This now, that carpeted blue area,re that is where all thel the dignitaries are going to sit. Tt a lot of the congressionalessiol members are going to be in thoso riser areas right behind. In front of that railing now n those blue chairs that you seese under the plastic right now, now that is where the president elect is going to sits that is where the chief justicei of the United States is going tt sit and that is where the obamaa are going be seated. Again, we are expecting thatng t this is going to get underway ur here when they finally arrive about 10 45 this morning. Orni the speech we are told, the theme, america first. Fir. What does that mean . Well, seaa spicer the incoming white housee press second says thend saythe president elect is going to goit expound on exactly today what makes America Great actuallyll means. A lot of questions a ever since donald trump rolled r out that slogan. Sga we are hoping to have him fill h in some of that today when he delivers his inaugural address a at this very spot later on thiss morning. Ing. For now were live at the u. S. Capitol, 58th president ialsidena inauguration. Well send it back to you. Nd i tom you know youre a maste of history the its interestingt when you mentioned with ronaldhd reagan and moving that in 1981 8 so that you could actually havea some sun on the festivities anda then only four years later wasas the inauguration that was too cold to even do outside. Ono eves reporter that was 1985. Simply that year it just got dangerously cold, and it would d have risked really life or limbm had they gone ahead didnt that. What they dark do you remember the old capitol all the parade d floats, all the bands, they went over to the Capitol Center and ronald and nancy reagan actually drove over there and thanked everybody, but they were not thn able to go ahead with the paradd that year either because it was just too darn cold. Ol were in a lot better shape sha weather wise this year. You got no tdohat right. T rt Tom Fitzgerald thanks ford tr joining us right in the middle of it all. Ight i know you love tiff yann i knok you love history. Yove history. Yes. I mentioned the bible. Ntio we t tore we get to the bible. Okay. The very first inaugurationnt in washington, d. C. Thomas jefferson inngto 1801. Really. You have to go way back. Way back. Not the first. Ave to the okay so the bible has significance today when drum ism that sworn in because it will, yes, be the bible that Abraham Lincoln was sworn in with but also have his personal bible with him, too. Th htoo so in essence two bibles there. E same thing that president barack obama did in 2009 and 2013 witht i think thats interestingntg its fascinating that it will be the same bible that president pe obama used. Obama used. Last two times that president elect donald trumpelec will be using as well thee socusinalled lincoln bible. Bie right. I can tell you on personalel note ol yone of the highlights t i have had personal untillnt washington i had a chance to goo to the library of congress anded actually hold the lincoln bibleb in my hands. My han is that right . I first of all it was much much smaller. Did you need to wear the white gl of course. Ite gl of course. Cour but its amazing. Amang so, yes, it will be the same t s bible as far as the lincolns tho bible president obama used fouro years ago and eight years ago. Yo lets get back outside now tw our annie yu. Ni yu. Annie is at 12th and madison. Adn let us know what you are seeingn good morning. Reporter hey, good morningor to you steve and allison. A good morning, everybody.

Prec all right in the meantimethee were keeping a close eye off ef screen at st. Johns we do see s some people that are leaving. Lg we have not yet seen donalddona trump or any members of hisf his family leave the church but we e had expected they would be inede there for any wo hour. Hou were trying to get a betterte idea right now apologies as weea look off screen right now tryin to keep an eye on all the t monitors. There you can see what we were looking at right nowou c. Again, i would say probably 15 to 20 people just walked out tht door but, again, not quite sures why at this point but we have b not seen any members of donaldfd trumps family or mike pencess family leave. Lea. So our understanding theyreding still inside. Still de take a short break right now. Donald trumps first day inn office also means president nsret amaas last.

Keep the tweets and instagramnsr posts coming just use the fox5potus. Ox5potus back after this. Creamy swirls of pure indulgence. Silky sifts of total transcendence. Tempting accents of sheer pleasure. Introducing unicorn whispers. This should be the name. Or something more like golden gold. Or maybe, mmmmmm mmhmm. But, with 20 of your daily fiber, its actually fiber one. So delicious, it should have another name. So dat ikea, we believe have anotthat everything, from your lamp to your couch, should work as hard as you do. That you can sacrifice everything but a good night sleep. And we believe your furniture should last happily ever after. Make the dream yours with ikea. 9 16 right now taking liveht look on the left sid ne of youry screen there is st.

There are a lot of people with i hats on i want to give you aou a sense of the feel here. He fl hee its really interesting the t position thats going on on onee side we were waiting to get in, we were with a bunch of peopleop and we saw nicky haley walking out. Out. Marriott shes the governor froo South Carolina tapped to be thet embassador to the un. The we saw dr. Ben carson walk outao tappedo and the crowd cheered. C everyone was cheering for them. E then literallyer right now as ii stand just one block over by the warner theater i can really heaa the protesters just outside the security gate. E there are whistles blowingowin chanting going on. And so its interesting to feell as we look at people gettingplei their spots along the paradeg ea route already, you canu definitely tell theresnite obviously many trump supportlyeo out there, a lot of them wearing red hats that say make america gwen. A lot of them wear flag typelagp apparel we see other people peol holding up very poignant signsas and very directed signs againstn the incoming administration. And yet theyre all some of thee sitting side by side. And so far inside here in the secure area all has beenee peaceful and of course you see e the Strong Security presencese along the route already as well. In fact, the budget for security for this inauguration alone isgn the most ever in the history of any inauguration. Theyre estimating it atat about 100 million. 00 mil they say the whole inaugurationo 2,200,000,000 gives you an idea half of the budget alone is juss to make sure that this event isi pulled off safely. In terms of the parade not slated to go off untilgo off unl 3 00 oclock this afternoon, as always, as tradition dictates the military a strong part oft f that. Th there are five different divisions of the parade. The first one will be led by the oldest and most senior branchr a which is the army and if i ii remember correctly i think itsi then the marines, the navy, the, air force and then the coast guard. There are about 40 differentfent groups in all that of course cos includes a lot of local groupsos that are going to be marchingchn down pennsylvania avenue.

All right,in guys, ill toss iti back to you. Thank you very much, tucker. Appreciate it. Well, it is a tradition forr an outgoing president to writee a letter to their successor, but president obama if i can have an little help with the prompterroe please president obama also als wrote o thanked the American People peo saying all that ive learned in my time in office ive learned n from you. Om you you made me a better president. E you made me a better man. M he also ended the letter by saying, life began his time inii office with a message of hopeagp saying quote america is not thet project of anyone person. Single most powerful word in our democracy is the word we. D we the people. We shall overcome, yes, we can. N for more on the it oh goingng president his legacy and what wa his day will be like we turn to dan. Dan thanks for joining us once o again. Good morning. We talk earlier this week about the president s ear legg what it may be what it mate nott be. What about today . Whatshats happening with him today . Anything that could change thate in any way or really this just t chance for him to exhale andhald move on to the next chapter ofhf his life. Life really truly exhale, move on, hes cup his executive orders his cementing his legacy is alreadyy in place. Today is about the peacefuleacel transfer of power as so manyan people describe it. E it and on a cold rainy day in d. C. Hes going to be thinking abouto that flight to palm springs s right after. We heard in remarks earlier,i you know, its going to be okaya is that an unusual statement sta here or does it speak to justus how divided we seem to be as a nation going into this 45th presidency . Presiden i think both the divisionsion that we have as a country ass well as the different tenors ter that each candidate excuse me each president is bringing to their administration with no no drama obama giving away giving way to the donald trump reality tv presidency. Dey that division is also being really heightened by thebyhe different personalities of these president s as one leaves officef and the other comes in. Es i its interesting and you anda other folks in your organization have studied presidencies overne time. When you have such an abruptn au change like this obviously had part tan ships were it comec to the office of the presidencyy in the past. This seems rather abrupt basedtb on the supporter that is you have of the curerrent t presidet and who will soon be the next president. But its always different timetm now with social media and everything else. Else electronic ways that people are expressing themselves. Is there any way that we can even compare that to past shipso of power . No the advent of twitter,tt, facebook the way people are alll sharing their own personal opinions and bypassing. Assing of what, you know, traditionaldl media did to form pin is a significant shift. Shift. But we can look to it areas where the personalities ofties president s did change where eisenhower to jfk was a example. The older general, the strong s leader who was considered a quiet president at the time gavh way to a young youthfulouthfu president that generation aliona shift that was seen there. Here but still all of that was focused through radio and tv as opposed to everyone being ablena to add their own opinion. Opinin it was also focused thr eisenhower willingly saying he wanted the country that heha h served that he loved to be in i good hands even if there wasnt always agreement there. He. Correct. Cor that idea that, you know, theywt call it the club of president srs for a reason. For rea that when you have reached that point you all see that despite your partisan differences yourr on the same team and thats perhaps lesson lot of thet o t American People can look at, at, even though theres politicalitl disagreement, you want thewa the country to be in good hands. Thats a sent many we havey h heard from this incomingin idesident. It seems like almost right after he won the election were onene nation, we will all get throughh this together. He it seemed that that was a veryer important theme for him to press upon us. Up us. It was. It was for him to particularlycl with the contentious of it the fact that he was not the popular vote victor, that this wasis w through the electoral college, that message was important totat tie the nation together. Ogetr. Looking back historically for those who may not be feelingng that hope this time around, when you look at the p we have gotten 10 through thingg in the past is there hope in knowing, look, we have in toughu times survived. Vived. We have. And we have institution ws. We have congressionalessi leadership. S ands andsystem of check balances. I tell many people, too, this, h is its time to get involvedl in local government. City and State Government havenm very powerful role in our systee its easy to to forget that. Th. Thats a way you can better youu communities even if you disagree with whats happening inhat washington. Ingt no doubt about it. Are you sticking around with us today . Nd us happy to. Tod all right. We appreciate it. Precia want to get back out to st. T johns church because as werebs talking to dan feel free to stao with us for a second here ase well were watching as donaldino trump is leaving the church chuc service right now which had ass been about 40 minutes or so. Or. Since he walked into st. Johns church but there you see donaldd trump and his wife melania the t future first couple of the t United States leaving st. Johns church after the service. Ervi walk to the cars and the next stop will be the executivecu what do you make as far asakf traditions when it comes to thii day . This obviously one of the many president s have chosen st. Johns in the past. As far as tradition is in thishi country of the transfer of power and as far as what donald trumpu has chosen to do to followollo tradition. N. Well truly following theng te tradition the church ofrc president s no matter their didhr he nomination at st. Johns episcopal the history there is i being the church right acrosscr lafayette square. Sar the short trip over, you know, sharing that cup of coffee witht the families that are in the ine white house, and by and large lr thats always been a very cooperative very kind meetingee between the outgoing president ri and the incoming one. Whats discussed in that meeting . Is it nice is thes ash that point . Let me tell you the real deal. My last time to talk were in we front of everybody. Rybo not quite that. Do go through sort of the, you know, some old some will let them tore the white house or, you know, sharethe wh thoughts a you know as we anyone who probably president obama had a bit of nostalgia about his eighg years there. Governor pence, vicece, vi president elect getting into hi vehicle. Im sorry, go ahead. M sorr no. Some of the lessons hes learned while hes there. You know, president obama madee it very important task in his mind to try to educate President Trump as much as possible onsibo these issues and from thisrom ts experience. What are some of the challenges that presihadet ntarp will face now because you look l at as we watch mike pence walk out now mike pence obviously aiy long career in politics to getog to this point. Pnt much like weve seen in recentet history as far as the person who assumes the presidency. Not the case from donald trump o coming from the world of fm thef business into the executive int mansion nowthe. So how does that differ now asen far as challenges that he mightt face immediately now once hee h finds himself literally thislyhs afternoon sitting in the without white house . E . Well see how he learns thatt the machinery of government does not move the way a businesss machinery does. Does that theres a lot more processe cease and procedures that are in place. Hes talked about shaking sometm of those up, but there arehe a reasons that things are done don that way in government. It requires more deliberationern and consensus. Talked about the correlationc between business and what hest doing in the white house. Ou essentially though hes stilly h the boss. Ouboss. Correct. He is still the boss and its ai now the question of as he continues and weve watch the transition process, what team is he building out around him now n the cabinet will be moving in place, those confirmations and then the lower tier people the t deputes and assistant andtand cabinet agencies how do they fit in place and begin to exercise his agenda . Agea . So you would think foryou woo somebody who is used to beingrhd the boss, who i to sbe the bosss companies in the private world,r if you are moving into this thi position, you couldnt pick ana better scenario to move intoovin where essentially your party hah the power right now. N. Correct. And you are the boss and the executive mansion. Mreay theexec tuthe friction be where may that resistance be now frustration may set in down the road . Ro i think it will seeing theghe frustration of where, you know, where there are not personnelnnl yet because of the time it takes for vetting and confirmations. So where there are empty deskses in government maybe an issue. Also, i think unlike business,es other countries have a voice inn how he runs his administration. Weve seen traditional untilnt there are Foreign Policy challenges early in administrations. Stories that the northern koreans are fueling a missile test at this very moment. Momen something he may face, you know, on day one or day two that ishai not something youre used to inn the business world. Going to take short break ana stick around we want to hear to from you talking specificallyfiy about legacy something steveng e touched on with you earlier thit week. We but we want to bring in ourn our wisdom martin right now who is i at Lafayette Park and the Vice President elect andecnd president elect on the move, wis. Reporter allison, youre yoe right. Just a short time ago on the other side in the other oer direction from where im sittini is the church and we saw themm come out of the church and getnd inside the suvs. s now im told that theres as possibility that they could cld drive those suvs down through u here en route to the white houst to meet with the obama family. Al theyll have their meeting withw the obama family then at 10 35 they will leave here and head ad off to capitol hill for the inauguration 2017 ceremonies to officially start and swear inwer the 45th president of the United Statesf t. S so were waiting on that rightt now. So its my understanding thatdia hes still in that black suv. Now, we talked about thisut this earlier. There are a number of people wh alpeready out here. Ady here. Theyve been out here for abeenh couple of hours outer here in te stands waiting to witness the t inauguration. Inaugu witness the parade and witnessns the festivities that will take place for inauguration 2017. 7. Now, this is signifying and it has signified in this country for as long as weve been here e in this country the peaceful transition of outgoing president and the inncoming president. Prent. The outgoing president number m 44 obviously barack obama andmad the 45th inncoming president pe being donald trump. Now, some other information tooa tell you about. Ll you about. Ive talked about the moving ini and the moving out of the whitei house and how much of a processe that is. How there is a group theree are a group of people who are involved in that. In that. They meet well beforehand. Talk about how theyre going toi move people in and move people out. Out. Get everything in order. So that officially at noon, officially at noon when the newn president can move into the whet it white house. We know the ceremony will beiteo going on at that time. G on but officially at noon is whense he will officially become the resident at 1600 pennsylvaniansa avenue. Now, hes going to come down this route this afternoon after all theno oonther ceremonies ana after being sworn in and he will be president of the unitedf thed states. Hell come down pennsylvania avenue again. Theyre going to go inside these white come out into the reviewingiewi stand and watch the rest of the parade. Now, i had a chance to speak a a short time ago with someone whow was involved in actually theualt building of the reviewing standa and the building of the media riser. Rir actually were looking at this over here. Ere. Where suvs are starting to pull in a motorcade is starting totan pull in here at the white house. Were not sure which one hes is at this point. Nt. But you can see the suvs and limos pulling into the whitento house. So this is where the meeting isg going take place between the ben trauma many family and the obama family. Outgoing president , incomingni president theyll have thatt tha meeting and head off im sorry. Sorr okay. Ay. So my understanding that trumpu is leaving now. Ow. Leaving from the church. The vicepresident the bidensids jail and joe have just walk out. So this is taking place. Lace. Its part of the pea transition of power that happens in this country every four years or when theres a new president t every four years when theres a new president. New let me get back to this well talk while theyre, you know,reo getting ready to come over. Or. Wisdom i think well jump in for a second right now. Nd rightw were actually looking right now we just saw joe biden, of course, vicepresident joe bidee and his wife dr. Jill biden bidn walking out of the white house e right now as those vehiclesehic pulled up so perhaps a better Vantage Point right now as we watch this. T dan is with us a policy managern for the center of the stud ever the presidency in congress andes spent many years now coveringg the presidencies various vus presidencies over the years. Yrs there we see mike pence gettingi out right now, and speaking with joe biden. Iden and there you see karen pence with her husbanda of course, and exchanging embraces warmly as the in coming vicepresident and the second tc lady of the nation all joinoi hands and walk up the steps of o on the left side of thee lefd screen just to block away fromef the white house making its wayus right now thee maki motorcade ii donald trump is riding right n now. All right. Dan is still with us right now. Dan, when we were talking beforb about these meetings thatings ta happened that are soon to happea inside the white house between b the outgoing president and the e in coming president , sometimes theyre very cordial. Oral really what we know i guess froo memoirs or insider whos havesh shared the stories over thehe years the generations the stohe decades the centuries. Sometimes theyre cordial andora sometimes theyre not. Eyre not. Correct. The worst that we know of was the transition from herbertrber hoover to fdr. F we have to remember at that time fivemonth lame duck periodame because the inauguration was noo yet in january. Ry so there was a lot of f five months. Ive nths five months. It was march when the mar when t inauguration used to be then. Onu long time. Se ther but we didntt want fivemonth lame duck period what ended up happening was that the political disagreementreent between the two men that lastede for the five years during the t height of the great depressionrs they sat in stoney silence whene ey there was no ths no my goodness. Good very little you could head a pin drop. Pirop. You know, people would say awkward turtle or however youevr want to put it. That the they took their ridd from the white house down to the capitol not a word between them. Usually theres this dialogue of friendly banter. Ly banter. At least small talk. Leasall diss grow without beingut beg disagreeable we see the president , let me interrupt you, dane pr,es and fr lady. La.

Lets get with matt ackland dowa on freedom plaza. La reporter hey, steve,ve, allison g morning. Ning. Yes, breaking news right now. Nw lets take you down here. This is the 14th streett entrance here behind me, and you can see it is just opening up ip guess at this point hold on, sir. People have been blocked here. E there are protesters so its been closed down for id say a good 15 minutes or so. Were hearing Different Things from Different Police officers. F Miami Beach Police officers are actually here helping with someg of the coverage and they said ad couple of arrests were made, but we dont have that confirm. So this is the 14th street entrance, and it has been closed down. Wn were told by a park policek poi officer protesters got there, and basically blocked the front. So in order to get through here, youve got to undergo somee screening. In fact, i know youve beenyo bn hearing from some of the other f reporters today that the screening process really reallya is tough. Theyre looking through bags ifi youre in the media theyre noty letting you bring in anything. Nn even fruit. We had an apple in our bag andaa they said you couldnt bring ini fruit. Theyre being very very careful. So what has been happening justs probably in the last 15 minutess theyve been standing righting t there. The protesters theyve been shouting. Theyve been blocking the entrance. Ance. But win id say last minute mint were noticing some people comec herough here. A lot of security. Ury. Jason lets spin around here, and show you, um, all of thef t security in place. Were seeing officers from not only colorado as i said miami, theres some officers fromerrom Fairfax County that are in place. This is freedom plaza. Dom pl youre familiar with this. Ith ti the wilson building. Uilding. This is the area where protesters are expected to be gathering probably in the nexthx id say 30 minutes or so. R s we thought there would be more r people here by now. Ow. This the place i was fou ago and once the president andda the president elect leave the t white house, they will travelve down pennsylvania avenue. Ve so you will get a glimpse ofse o them as they head towards the uu is. Capitol here. Here. So this would be a place iff protesters are going to gather right here, this is the placela that the president elect might t actually see them. So this is an open area. Are this is where we expect peopleeo to gather and i want to you take a look at all of these officersr that are lined up here. He these are some of our friends o from Fairfax County, right, guys . Yeah, Fairfax County, ana then where yall from . From where . Florida. Flori. Orlando or Highway Patrol . Patro Highway Patrol. Patro my home state, florida. Lorida a lot of florida officers are here, and take look at that. Jason will you showdown swdow pennsylvania avenue to your right . Gh look at all the officers thaa have been gathered here alongng pennsylvania avenue. This is wherean the protester expected. Pe. It look like theyfor them any t. So thats the very latest as i look back at the 14th street ste exit, steve and allison, iton, appears that things are gradually moving but not at a a fast pace f youre stuck in tha line it looks like its going tg take you some time to get to g through. Back to you guys. Guys you know weve heard, matt,t thank you very much. You ve much. Matt ackland at one of theone of checkpoints down around freedomd plaza and bob barnard also outlo there as well. Thas well. We are hearing from park service that there are several entrancec right now where there are issues involving protesters. Er if not shutting down at leastea slowing the flow of peoplepl trying to get through security r at this point. Pont right. Et youon top of it well l know more as we fine out. O not long now until that ceremony begins at roughly 11 15. 1 so the hope is that people whoho especially have traveled fromlef you know wherever destination tn get here actually will be ine in place to see the ceremony unfoll at least on the jumbo trons doww ther good seat, though, to whatss going on today is wisdom martini much hes at Lafayette Park. Wis, not long ago, we saw thehe motorcade come through, and the current first family greet the e incoming first family. Fam good morning. Reporter good morning to mog you allison. You lison. Youre exactly right. The current president and his h family his wife met with the incoming president and his wifee right here at the white house hu behind the reviewing stand theta white house is clearly over there. You know, this is whats beingti called a peaceful transfer ofr o power because this is the wayus its been done in thise th counu the trumps and the obamass meeting and greeting one another right out in front of the whitei house just a short time ago. Go they he can changed some words. S some pleasantries. Blue box was given to was exchanged they took pictures ane went inside. S we ins according to the schedule, theee meeting between the obamas andsd the trumps is going to takee place its happening rightpei now, and at 10 35, aroun sometime around there they willl leave. They will all get in the car an go down to the us capitol andita thats where the inaugurationnat will take place. Place the ceremony will take place.

H you can see the black suvs anda you can see the black limos as well. Ll.

Tom fitzgerald rightfa now who w right on the on the side ofhe of where these folks are. A they will soon be walking out, tom, to the out of doors where you are. Oors who are you seeing walking in so far to the area where are . Reporter that wasr t w remarkable scene you just had there with bill and hillaryilry clinton walking and bob dole d dont forget bob dole even at 93 played a very vital role in thii republican party. P he was very early on to throwhrw his support behind donald trump once he became the presumptivete nominee. A lot of peoples views bob dold played a very big part in a lott of the establishment republicann party coming along to acceptingi donald trump once he had clearee the mantle the number of nf delegates he needed to clincho n that election. At so when bob dole comes here today, bob dole is not just notj coming here as some bystander. He actually played a very vitaly role in getting donald trump to this position today. Ay. Where hes going to take this tt oath of office. That on the other side of your u screen that is where we arere w right now were on the westre e front of the United States sta capitol. Pito you saw those scenes just at a moment ago. Ago protesters in the streets tryint to keep people out of here. Up here on the west front. Est fg to. Well show them to you. Showhem. That section of seating rightone behind me, that is where many members of congress sit. It now, we had heard about thisbohi protest that was going on. Where people were not going to attend this inauguration. Ation. Take look at that for yourselfrs behind us. People are sitting there. Re. Were not seeing any empty seats. So if there was this concernon whether or not we were going ton see, you know,ot w folding chais behind donald j. Trump withoutit anybody in them that wholehat we section you can see there somets of the senate has not arrivedotd and you can see members of themt filing in as well right now. N but that is not the case. C all right. Now, thats the podium. M come back out here, let me shows you this crowd. Crowd. Because for all of the ranker rn and some of these protesters yos see out here i got to tell you y was down here on the west fronto down by the fountain in the the seated area. This is a happy group of peopleo out here today. Od we had seen other cases you know, there were argumentsrm going on between people in past times, you know, there washere w ranker going on but, you know, every time we went down there to talk to these people theyree r hugging each other, theyrech oe taking selfies. Y they are glad totaking be here , and really now the mood has kinn of even been more the last 25, t their minutes or so becauseau frankly the weather has taken a dramatic improvement out hereuth right now. Gh now you know, we had pretty good goo clip of go on here an hour and half ago people were starting t cover themselves up the sun is s starting to come up a lot more. M the weather is clearing. In its a very pleasant amenable al day out here today. T if it continues like thistinuess through the recommend of this os inaugural ceremony, this iscereh going to go right up there witht some of the best weather weve w ever seen at one of thesef inaugural ceremony. Inaugural cer well zen it back in to yemou. Only have to go back eightac years to realize how freezing f cold it was out there, tom. Re,. Thank you very much, tomk fitzgerald. Yo of the folks folks as the mallml starts to fill up a little bitfl more now. U were just a little less than an hour away from the official ceremonies taking place. La as were taking a look right now of some of Donald Trumps top advisers, one of our longtimeoi advisers as well joins us our uu good friend of the show bob sw b cusack editor and chief of theef hill. Bob, good to see was do you makm so far as to what eve scene sove far . Weve done this many, man, times here in washington,sh d. C. Not many, were not that old. Old. Right. Number of times here in washington. What are you taking away so far fulber is peace transou tition oakfit power compared to others . Well, this one you hear the h word over and over from bothm bt republicans and democrats iss surreal. Su we did not all the pundants basically thought Hillary Clinton would be the one o inaugurated into office today. I you saw kellyannet conway theree its her 50th birthday today. Y d quite a birthday for kellyannely conway. I just think this is such a stunning turn of events, and a donald trump is going to change this town. Own. Will it be successful, i dontfu know. There are a lot of democrats and some establishment republicansls who are kind of bracing and fearing for the Trump Presidency because as we have seen this hih twitter account he can go afterr anybody, major corporations,orpn democrats, republicans and hensd has shown in his press pre conference and with republicansa on capitol hill hes the boss. Hes leading this. T as editor of chief of the the hill and someone who is, you y know, with the media, with the press, what do you feel aboutbo these years were going into tht trump years here . . I mean i think that trump isi going to continue to go aftero r the media. He thrives on it. Weve interviewed him four times, and certainly he has a ha certain style. S if he likes your questions hel let you finish the question. Que if he doesnt like yourte you question, hell cut you off. But he views the media as thehe enemy, and he likes, n washington, if youre dividingin and conquering your enemy yourr winning and i think hes doneinn that with the media. But it all comes down getting stuff done. Stu can he repeal and replace obama care . Thats not going to beoi easy. Tax reform hasnt been done since 1986. 986. Theres tough things he wants tw do. Build a wall. I dont think its a surprisr from somebody had made his lifel in the board room where deals are behind closed doors. Government theyre mater out ine the open in traditional timesyt with the media. Bob, you mentioned youon you interviewed him four timesd himm recently. Rece i think we talked to you prettye much time that youve gottenv g back from new york or youveyoue talked to him. As that progressed throughoutouh the campaign, though, each each interview that you had with himm did you sense any type of changa along the way . Yeah. The first one was in july of 2015. And i dont think he even even thought he could win. Win the presidency much less the nomination. Bob, i think we had this chat back then and i know i posed the question do you, did he want to win or did hwae just want to knk that he can win . I think that he thought heht could compete. Compete he obviously has h and the polls eveninnumbers butq great numbers and then i thinkik he look at his arrivals and is a think he thought, im better bee than them. Than the if you run for president , younto have a healthy ego and i think t he look at them, these guysuy arent that smart and so i doo think that hes like listen imn going to win and history thatst what he thinks about. Bo thats why i think his speechh today who knows how divisive his presidency will be much hiscyl s speech today will not beay wiln divisive in my opinion. Pini bob while you were talking w saw former vicepresident dicked cheney and his wife enter thente area there. Here but when we talk about peoplebot who are coming in and talkingal about divisiveness, we do know w and we are bracing for some se empty seats there today. Tod yes. Es. At least that hero whetherher tickets have been given away orr what have you someone we sawe virginia bobby scott there. How big of a statement is heh sending by breaking ranks withkt some of these congressmen ofsmen color quite frankly who are note going today . Going tod i think it was a tough callw for a lot of these houseouse democrats. Ats. Not one today. And so i think it came down to t what their districts want and what theyre hearing and i thini everyone was making their owniro decision, most democrats will bw there. Th roughly 60 House Democrats boycotting. Boyc weve never seen that before. Right. Maybe some times people wont show up or theyve got somethint else to do. Else but these guys are putting outrt press releases on this. So i think tough choice and and might have been tough choice for bobby scott g governor Nikki Nik Haley walking in right there. He. If those who are not attending today those who opted to skipedk out as far as the democraticocri Congress Members held against a them for lengthy period of timef or back to work all is forgottet and forgiven . N i dont think trump will bele forgetting that. Ng theyll keep that list. Eyll weve been keeping it on ouree n website. E hell keep that list. Keep tt li we looked at all these democrats decr but doesnt he have the, the onus on him to rise above and to deserve the people there . Imh sure not everyone in georgia iss behind john lewis stand. Nd thats exactly right. Ig and theres one democrat hampshire carol shaye border she actually trump actually won herh district and shes boycotting. Tt so i do think he has to reachoea out but politicians they all t have enemies lists and they just do it veryhe lis quietly and mae arrively. Arri i just got chills, bob. Gochil thanks for that. Ha im not in politic. Polit how about before we let youuf go, i do want to ask you about o the role of the media, though,hh because youre editor of chief c of publication that literally ii called the hill is on the hill. Youre dealing with political pt dealings every single day. Change course, adjust, keepee going the way you have have been going . What happens now justowt based on this change of the addd vision . I mean were not a non part p son media outlet. T what he want to be is fair. S so if donald trump does well,s w were going to report that hess doing well. G ll. People talk it if he does poorly, however, i dont thinkok its healthy for the media to be adversarial. Ia i think you want to ask toughyoh questions but you dont want tou be negative all thet yo time ana thats what weve done and thats what we want to continuei to do in the its a tightrope. Tightrope it is. Were all walking now. Because you have a base and now hopefully we are all one but yob have a base of vy vocal Trump Supporters who have a vehicle to sort of drag you down as far asa social media goes. S. Mhmm. But, you know, the onus is is use that word again, because isi believe it is truly on us to call it still. Sll yes. Were the referees if werewee getting yell at by both sides s equally i think were doing ak n good job. Bob so cusack editorinchiei r the hihill. Always great to talk to you. Ou thank you we want to check ik with Melanie Alnwick we want tot get along the parade. Pare theres marine one. O i know youd love to be able abl have nice sweet ride to geto get around from the crowds butwd b youre immersed in the middle o it. Reporter im in great spot here right at the national n archives at seventh streeatt and take a look at my Vantage Point. Im not complaining at all. T a you can see here weve seen a number of official vehicles goig by including one that appear ita could have bee definitely was part of theart t official motorcade we just dont know who perhaps might be waw in that but definitely look like cadillac one that knew vehicle with military grade armor thatot trump will be riding in in the motorcade. But you can see more vehiclesehe coming down here getting readyna to prepare for the official oic events of the day. Theay not too many people here alonglo the parade route lines just yety except for the early ones whosho want to get in there we see thet signs most of the signs weve seen are signs of folks that appear to be anti trump. Tru we have not seen any vocal Trump Supporters here yet. But we definitely have seen aava lot of them Walking Around mostm of them over on the national n mall right now. R n were seeing u. S. Air force here standing guard. Rd were seeing state police from f many different agencies acrosscr the country here as we know dcw police out in full force as well along with so many othery o security assets. 13,000 military personnel here. 5,000 troops and ceremonialia roll 8,000 national guardl grd officers providing securityit assistance. Stan now they call this i dont know if you guys talk about thisut ti before, you may have, amongng security circles really just jus call it the 2mile nightmare. Because its just a short shortt distant but this is so dull asol far as the security goes. We know that vehicle is gettingi ready to leave the white house. U it will make that trip down here down pennsylvania avenue to thet capitol where those officialffia ceremonies are going to begin. Eg quick note, folks. Ks people are still being able tobl get into here. Er were seeing Trump Supportersupr here now directly across the the street. Here we go. Lets take look. As youre doing that im trying to get a picture myself. Re this is the kind of stuff youff want to preserve, right . . Were seeing that motorcade godo by here on seventh street. Tr looks like it is almost reachedh its going get pretty exciting g here, folks. Herelks. But again, we think where fromrm where we are things are prettytt calm so far and melanie thank you very much much it is history no matter tha which way you look debbiebie wasserman schultz. Tz many dignitaries on the hill. Heh Melanie Alnwick bringing thatg t report on seventh. Enth. Thanks mel. We keep an eye on whatsohat happening there. Now, outside the white house h what youre looking at rightingg here the vehicles are in place p right now. The president elect donald trump meeting with president obamantba right now inside of the white ti house. This will be their last joint meeting together. R. Theyre last chance to chat oveo coffee and tea. Ee tea well keep an eye on that rightt now as we see some peopleeopl walking out. Lkinut we do know the vehicles areeh there and we will follow thatlo situation whenever we do see the president elect leaving to get in the vehicle to head down to the capitol. Ap pardon us looking down the dt monitors are right here and jusd like melanie said we dont wantn to miss anything either. It so weve got a look away foror moment. Maureen umeh joining us now. Mo, you have been meeting withit some very important people. T i see your pictures. Reporter i have. Ran into Jenna Bush Hager little while ago. Go shes gracious nudge to take aio picture with me im completelyue being a fantel today. But equal quailly as impressivev who i have with me lauren writei her name shes written book called owe on bow half of thewe president. Ent. President ial spouses and White House Community strategy today. D we talked a lot aboutbout president elect donald trump. T. What tone, what tenor hell takk during his presidency. Pre we didnt talk a lot about Melania Trump and sort of a s o first lady shes going to be. s a loft people looking to her for perhaps, you know, things, herng cues the way she dresses, the, way she stands, what she may or may not say trying to look foroo thing to sort of define her. H have you been able to study hery and whats your impression taket away so far . Away s i have a little bit actuallyl and i think whats important tot note about her people are fascinated with Melania Trump by nature. Re they are fascinated with firstws ladies in general but i think t because we dont know very much about her everything she does the public eye. But the studies i did actuallyll show she can be a very effective messenger for donald trump. T especially when compared topad other surrogates. Among independents out partys members and people who might want to be brought into thehe fold. Fold. Reporter the impressionte lot of people hr ave i think she beautiful model who just sort of silently stands by her husbandea but youre saying her messaging can help define him. How . Exactly. Ct hypothetically in a survey we we can tell that her words the sams words we would give to ao vicepresident or president , foo example, are more effective garnering support for trump than other people but thats that hypothetical of course. Th she does not have to play aetotp public role. This is an unofficial position. Its not in the constitution. Utn and so its her choice. Ho what she wants to do. To how much how often and with h whom. Wh reporter the role of the thf first lady has come further into focus in recent years Michelle Obama certainly bringing thatrit office more to the f you will. You do you see that happening withpw melania and future lady firstads ladies to come . C i dont. I d because i always tell people the best indication of what a spouso will do in the white house is hu what they did on the campaign ca trail so in her case, that was just a few high profile appearances. Ar a little bit of controversy witw her rnc address, and she reallya withdrew after that. But if she wants to do the Cyber Bullying initiative shes goingg to have to go public more toor share the message. Msa reporter Lauren Wright thege book again is called on behalfeh of the president , president ialdt spouses and white house communec it in strategy today. It ite pick it up its a good read.

I misok senator corey booker of courseoe from new jersey. So theyre seeing again the bunting as we were talking about earlier today. Such an impressive view on vo the right of our us capitol. It is does we see at thewe S White House now well switch stc gears and come back to 1600ack 1 pennsylvania avenue. Ania avenu you can see some of the memberse of the administration some ofomf the advisers coming out of the white house right now.

E. Time right now 10 40. Youre watching our continuousns coverage of inauguration day. The inauguration of the 45thn of president of the United States donald trump. Weve seen both donald trump and his wife melania, their children including their young son barror here all here in washington tott celebrate this day. Speaking of celebrating there are some folks who celebrate on a more modest level and thereeld are some folks who literally ler break out the bubbly and go alla out and celebrate on large level that you one of those good friends timent young who joins u as well as, good to see botheeb every you this morning. Morning. Good to see you. To see you hanging back in the wardrobeb this morning. Im a completely non biased journalist. Jo i wanted to bring my trump winee out. T. Im ready to be. Im excite. Have you tasted that. Av its blank to blanke whitest of the whites. Hi i dont know you take that however you want to. Nt to saving it for this specialeca occasion absolutely absolutely. T you through a little lite something together to dress upto for tv. I had these sitting in the ie closet i figured white not . Inauguration. Is that official make america grt agagain. This is the chinese one that i got it was 8 from a street ar vendor. Much cheaper than theve official one isnt if youre lucky itif u will last throughout the oath ot office. Its starting to crumble nowm thanks for joining us thisngt morning. Mo amber good to see you againoo as well. W when it came to the debates andd everything else. What are you taking away from this so far now that the day is finally her you tr noe . W er its interesting i was out in the field this morning with leadership and campus we were covering the protests pe going on. Going its actually pretty aggressivev they were protesters actuallys t bringing out polls and blockingn the entrances to theo inauguration some of them wereor broken up by police officersers with pepper spray. Rpr so its interesting to see justs how many protests are going on o lot of College Students outge st there for sure. Campuses across country arentrya staging walk outs against donaln trump. I think the interesting thingth about today is watching howing people are reactioning to the to inauguration. How does that make you feelae seeing that . Are you accepting of the facc that its america and your voice can be heard as long as its didnt hurt me physically or arr you upset to see that andha saddened to see that this dayt s isnt i certainly respect everyones right to peacefulcefu protest i think whats disshats apartment pointing today is not about, you know, whether or not you support donald trump. Suppt o today is about celebrating aratg peaceful transition of power ana what people dont realize thisli is an search part of democracy. Y and so by protesting theing inauguration youre not juste n protesting drum donald trump you are pro he testing a peacefulceu transition of power. Er talk a mi talked about some of the College Students out there younger you people out there. T this is the era now of we talk l about the millennials we talk wt about the social media usage ana everything else. Els what type of sense did you getey from people just behind thisin t election in general whether thee supported trauma are or whetherr they didnt support trauma . Tram a lot of College Students are against donald trump which isnn a surprise to anyone they call him a bigot and what other termr they use but they dont have a lotting specifics about exactlyy they dont like about donald abn trump. They say that its because hese republican. Its becblause hes sexist oriso racist. But they dont have any specifie details. Tail. And we found at campus reformser that a lot of this comes from fo students professors, you know,oo holding anti trump teach insns even anti trump classes and thee feed this sort of propaganda tot the kids that republicans andub trump are evil and so students e are completely unable to back uk their positions on why theyhy t dislike trump. Just to play definitelys add vo indicate here we have seenave surrounded himself with. Specifically, the leader brighti bart publication and movement mm and what have you. That have spewed some rhetoric that can be taken as white w national lifts and we have seene the backing of organizations Oro David Duke with ties to theti t clan. You can see where it would len itself exception at least that he has hassled these factioni into his ranks. What do you think about that . U well, i think the first thing to note is that Hillary Clintonn has also been endorsed by clan members but regardless thees students arent saying that thee dislike him because of, you know, steve bannon or anyone aon hes appointing to his cabinetab simply about donald trump beingp racist or a bigot. Ig there arent any specific policl thing they disagree with, and even when you ask them aitboh,uh cabinet appointees they donthet know why they dislike them. Its to protest someone but at leasta know what youre talking about. O know why you dislike person. Know what exactly it is that you standactl for. Rather than just reiterating thg talking points of your oyour professors and universities. S. We saw theres former president S Jimmy Carter right there and rosslyn carter. Frterlycarte we saw other members of trumps team probes walk in. Sean spicer walk n tim young n u next to us right now. Tim, you have been i mean lookel were talking about your outfitt right now. Youve been following this from the start. Foll slutly. What do you take away from tm this as a america, as thee opportunities that we have as a americans to have this process o to be part of this procedure . Ru and when you watch people thatpt may have battled for the lastt few months here party wise andtw now you get a day like this andd it seems like knock on wood so o far mostly coming together atg o least the folks we see down at t the capitol. E catol about twothirds of theut twt democrats came together with thh republicans for today. Ans for ty i mean they talk about the onese that are here. The ones that are here, youe, know it really everyo come together on inauguration day. We try to statirton a new and me forward and this entire electiot from the get go was a referenduu on obamas policy. America has officially rejectedc it here. But werite all kind of workingg together to move forward, and ii think this is a good startingrtn point. A good celebration. Ebra real work had he said begins on monday. Trump apparently has somethingsg like 200 executive orders hes s going to start with. Go its going to be kind of ain wiw first week. Wee so thats when the real welleaw see how divided or together we e are in a couple of days. Hang tight. Dont pop the bubbly just yet. Ty lets head down right now keeping an eye ruth bader b ginsberg walking in. Ki i Tom Fitzgerald is right in theii middle of all the act. All th act its who a who of americann politic. Reporter like the spiritpoet of 76. 6. The red hat. At. Tom, can you hear us . U oh, my gosh. Reporter fits, good goo morning. Can you hear us . . Well try to reconnect withcw fits i think hes connecting with people downin thereg. Like hes a politician. I thought he was too, tim. T. Im a ego maniac. Mania i thought he was too. Hought. Let me ask you this. Let because not that youre outfitoo is not serious. Ious. Yes. But you do see the humor in this. Smart humor but the humor in in whats going on now. Now give me your take aways from f this whole process and where we are now 18 months later. As americans weve become this kind of adhd things have te happen immediately society thats why trumps messagege resonates so well because heecae hits you in twitter and hits you in a way that isnt that formalr politician the way that it usedt to be. To b and we kind of had this new this is a new era thatsw a t happening right now. Happ i mean, everyone were movingov forward in the twitter socialtt media era. Ra obviously wee see the spouses karen pence, doctor july biden leaving the white house rightth now as they beginwh this historc journey. Jo we want to pay didnt mean ta interrupt in you the middle ofof your thought, tim. Tim. I think it is important as weimt look there at former president e jimmy carter, there has been so much focus i think on the divisiveness and so much focusoc perhaps on the end is near. Nea whats going to happen next . I . Is important to as well as being educated on whats happening toi be able to find humor in this . Absolutely. Bsol sometimes its hard to do. Extremely difficult. Remely i have to tell you this de to started this division really started tim, every time you ge started. Somebody else important comes out of the white house. We see first Lady Michelle obaml and incoming first lady Melania Trump walking together to their cars here. Er i think melania is the republicans jackie o. Awning lot of people are making compare sons to jackie oo and her choice today shes ss american diner ralph lauren in case anybody is watching and she looks stunning as she gets intog that car. Tim, let me ask you this. Because we have others on thisni morning who have studied sdi presidency after presidency after presidency. Ter not that you havent but i knowo you like to take a bit of humorous spin on things ands and theyve tried to analyzed what w just happened what thisappeneat conversation has been aboutee between the outgoing and what do you think was happening behind closed doors . [ laughter ]thinbehi give us your best give uss your best tim young right now. Hw speculate what you thinkculae happened. I dont think obama and truma get along. Get i think obama tried to be nice. N but you could probably seebabl throughout the entire talk that obama was very frustrated and very disappointed with whathat happen. I could not imagine being him. As most left tease hes talkingk to like the man of the people. Let me have the last word wer got to let you go. Got let but when you see this happen hpe what do you think as a young person involved in politics . I think its an exciting time for everyone involved. Nvve even given the divisivenessne thats hppened this election, ii think people are ready for a newt era. People soundly rejected obamas policies in a continuation withw the hillary presidency andsidey theyre ready to see change. Cha regardless of what that mayay mean, people are ready for something new. Some something different. Amber, tim, thank y todaaty. Thank you amber. T keeping an eye on the doornga rit nonow. N we obviously just saw thehe vicepresident s walk out. S leave the bottle ofwa wine. In joe biden, mike pence. E penc. I need this to make americaei great again. T what time are you going toti crack thatme thing o apen. Hing what time is it right now.

Ts president elect and the outgoing president walk out of the whitet house, and is there a sense ofeo excitement building where you we are . Reporter theres a senseen this process is moving forward because this is supposed to be e peaceful transition of power. Pw whats going on right now is i well, theyre actually behind little bit behind schedule theyh were supposed to do this ato ths 10 35. 10 3 you know how these inaugurations go. They go as they go. They. So right now, whats happening e is theyre in the car. E theyre going to go down to theo capitol then theyll have thell swearing in ceremony and thenhen the obamas will go their t separate ways and then mr. Trumu then President Trump will get tt the front of the line and thenne hell come down back here to tho white house to the reviewing area, and he will watch the parade and then go inside. The cars are the white house right now. E ght the motorcade is actuallyuall leaving the without right now you can see the cars and r tighe suvs on their way to the u is. I capitol right now. Youre watching video right nowg of former president bill clintoi and former second of state o Hillary Clinton right there. T everybody is there. Evod theyre waiting on this event tt get started the inaugurationnaun 2017 to get started. T started. The swearing in of the 45th president of the United States. E we although now contentious the battle between Hillary Clintonry and donald trump was. W. How divisive it was. It w yes, it was. Es, it this is a live look, wis, actually were looking live at a bill clinton and hillary clintoc just wanted to you and and alsos behind them george bush andbu a laura bush. H. Right. Two living president s with u today forpr this inauguration. I. Yeah. Also interesting to note thate t the new president , once hes one sworn in he will be the newthe w president , donald trump hellump get a new state of the art it asking Edge Security vehicleityh that looks like this cadillac that looks like this lt one only the secret serviceter notice about the details of thet security suv inside as we watcht all these cars and this t motorcade come out on their way to the u is. Us. Capitol as the inaugurationnaugr ceremony gets ready to get intoi full swing they swear in the nen president of the United States. Wisdom getting greatof the vv rolling right past you rightghtt there. Wisdom martin right behind wherw that limousine is right now. N as we take a look at former president s theres george bushrb and laura bush and we just saw s bill and Hillary Clinton walk bk a few minutes ago. Few s ag jimmy carter is there. We saw him few minutes ago as a well. Want to get to holly more riceec right now because holly is alono the parade route. Ou. Holly a matter of moments rightr now before that limousineimou carrying the future president e i donald trump rolls right passedd you. You. Im keeping my eye tom pennsylvania avenue. Pe thats for sure. Nnats sur because people are definitelyefl eagerly anticipating theipin motorcade to come down this wayy we saw some other motorcadesade about 10 or 15 minutes ago takea some dignitaries down and so weo of course are sensing that the t big moment was coming. Weve also watched snipers come out on the rooftops on theon buildings surrounding freedom fm plaza ill step out of the way w hear them coming. Hem we have seen a helicopter flyiny over passed and now you see the first motorcycles coming down an they make their way to the us capitol for the actual swearingn in of our 45th president. De so theres the first pass. P it look like were still s awaiting the rest of the cars to come over. Come i just want to make sure you you dont miss anything as we get this birds view of history. Hto as i was saying we do have aav stepped up security presence prc thats going on here the security on each side of pennsylvania avenue is twos officers deep. Eep you have officers facing the the parade route and then you haveh officers facing the crowd. Crow. Im going step out again so that you can make sure that you get g to see this as i am experiencinn it. It. Just the same. T s you know, security calls this t whole parade route here 2milem nightmare because for them thats exactly what it is. Thats kind of what, you know,oo because theyre transportingrt very important people obviouslyo and theyre doing so its not at quick as a normal motorcades go. If we live in the dc area yourr used to seeing motorcades comeds through and they come through at a pretty good clip. C when youre coming along thelone parade route here they travelyra much slower, of course. Ou its interesting when youre talking about the feel here, i r was just talking with someom colleagues, um, its not not particularly jubilant right nowt but its also not particularlyly hate phil. Hatehil. Its just very peaceful and kind of quiet. Quiet there are people here that are t Trump Supporters. Er you can see theyve got their t cameras at the ready. Rea there we go. There we g we see the limousines going by. Theyve got their cameras readyy so that they can take thesese amazing pictures of what theyr witnessing. Witnsi we do have people also withh protest signs up. P. Now were hearing some cheershe and here we go. Theres the pool camera going gi by, and there you can see them t wavi o we got a few screams here ases he not anything thats out of control one way or another. But, people very much taking inn whats happening in front ofon them and i can only imagine the feel inside of the limousines as they head up to be a part of this very monumental and historical occasion. So now we are witnessing the the peaceful transition of power. Pr its happening before our eyes. E one of the things that is so amazing about living where weg h do. Guys, back to you. Its unbelievable when youou think about it you see former fe president jimmy carter and hisnd wife rosland carter just nowtow walking out as well to get intoi that position. Ion holly f youre still with us ihi do want to you ask you, as far,f as the parade route, theyll dod this again obviously after the t ceremony theyll go back andk retrace the steps as far as f folks to watch the parade. How close do you think folks cal actually get to seeing theing t vehicles go by are they in aheyi position where they at least caa see even if the president electe who wi t decides to stay in the vehicle . E reporter o . H yeah. H yea they definitely can. Yan i hope you can follow with meitm here max. M there are several roads ofds of barricades there. Adesre but the outer most barricade ini front of the officers there areo people that areff just rightht behind that. T so i mean even from my locationt i can easily see president elece trump waving from the window. W even if they decide not to get o out of the limousine they t definitely will get a very goodd view. Ew. I mean they havent pushed backk people so far that they canthen it. It. But they have just reinforced the route like i said the numben of officers is amazing. In aisle as im talking right now g theres protesters very close. O theyre walking through rightig wow. I believe this is a same group o of protester that is cameeforeee and they said build bridges, no, walls. Ll and thats what hey beenn chanting. Anting but you can see there are trumpu supporters right there next toet them and they are literallyeral right up against the parade route. So theyre not necessarilyessaly limiting access. Es theyre just kind of reinforcing and making their presence knownk and letting everybody know thish is going to be a safe and secure area. But people are still getting the full inaugural paradeugur par experience. However, i will say as imsaas saying it right now, you canan probably see there are somee protesters that are being metarg with a group of security guardsa it doesnt look like theres much a brew haha going down goid other than the fact that peopleo are just kind of raising theirgt voices little bit. Ices but the protesters are going goi through. Ro and it looks like theres the security there kind of making aa little bit of a wall between the protesters and the people thatpa are here trying to enjoy the parade route. We just had a great shot shot holly from overhead just showino how much security is in factac lining that parade route as you could see literally officers arr to arm along the length of thatf pade routete. Also on the left were seeing sn Hillary Clinton and formery cli president bill clinton justust walk also all smiles. Sle all smiles but you have toleo wonder what Hillary Clinton isnt thinking as we saw her in the that entranceway standing with w her husband bill clinton, and, a what i noticed was really ineay that moment no miles. No mil i wondered and resort of wast ow holding her hand and shaking itg it really regardless of how you voted to stand there knowing that you lost this contentious election but knowing you have tg come out and put a smile on your face there. What a moment and we see that sa moment right here. He taking a page and taking higg road there as well,. Wl, taking the high road. Ing and being there and being ane part of this and recognizing this as American History and powerful for her to be theree as well. As well. Despite the protesters youtee see on the bottom what is as we hope will continue to be a peaceful transition of power now. Chris christie there on the big screen.
