the past administration. president obama ordered the investigation into whether there was russian involvement in our election. he wanted the results to be delivered before the january 20th inauguration and former director of national intelligence clapper did clidelr those results and gsaid there ws no involvement they had found. i would be just as curious about their testimony now as former members of the intelligence team of what did they in fact discover to repeat that claim. if that was true in january, is it still their belief today that nothing was found and that it was no involvement? that s a very important element that it s almost as if they didn t say it. and then nick, you know, former nfa michael flynn paid over $30,000 by russian tv according to top democrats on the house oversight committee, so if there is that, in your view, how much does that help
bush. but to have one at the inauguration, it s the first time since the midpoint of the last century. it will be a big one involving all the branches of the military. the president trump has said in a recent interview that he wants to show off the military. he that wants military parades. that that s part of what he wants to be a hallmark of his presidency. i don t know why he wants that but we ll see that. you know why. you know why. why? a show of strength. it s a head of state s military strength. it s em bargs to be the only president will no public service or military service being the one who wants to most show off the military when your only military experience small hands phenomenon? no. you want to show off the military once you re in office? i hope there s a different
it s interesting, since the inauguration has been on or about january 20th, there have only been three other times when it has rained. it rained on fdr in 1937, which was his second inaugural. it rained on nixon in 69 and george w. bush in 2001. you think january 20th at this latitude, this climate, you think it would always be something terrible happened in 1841. henry harrison died as a result of the weather that day. that s why no president has given an inaugural address since. is that right? that s right. it s usually very cold. it s often the coldest day of the year in washington. today, clearly, it is not. you know, reagan had the warmest january 20th inauguration ever, followed by the coldest january 20th inauguration. it was something like 7 degrees and negative 20 with the windchill. i was there in the rotunda. i was living there that year. i think they moved the parade to
i definitely call that a phalinx. but there s no sqpr in the banner there. one of the things that s going to happen today, we re advised, is an unusually large flyover. we talked about these reports that the trump transition requested more of a red square-style show of military force, including tanks and missile launchers in a military parade, which is not something we do in this country. but the other thing they have requested and reportedly that they re getting is a military flyover from all five branches of the united states military, including helicopters from the coast guard. that s a very unusual thing. the last time we had a military flyover at an inauguration was 1949 and harry treumuman. there was a flyover of george w.
divorce, i guess. definitely a change in attitude toward divorce over time. reagan benefitted from. and i think also the fact that he was a hollywood figure and the country factored in that that was somehow more likely, they thought, in that community possibly. but now we we did the other test this year, which it turns out you can have two previous wives and be president. before you could only have one. the other interesting thing, this is just a neurological accident, but you mentioned he s the oldest person to ever ascend to the presidency, for first inauguration, the oldest president we ve ever had. he was born in 1946, as was bill clinton, as was george w. bush. so, we ve had three presidents in a row who were all born not in a row. three presidents of the last four who were all born in 1946.
