this was a moment they sort of paused. i m sure this is as they start to see the extreatment important of what has happened to their lives. he ool assume the reign of power swearing in at the capitol in less than 17 hours. trump will take the 35-word oath of office from chief justice john roberts. it is forecast to be much colder than it s been the past few days, 40 degrees and rain. trump made a brief stop at arlington memorial ceremony. he laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns. just a short time ago he attended a live outdoor concert at the lincoln memorial, something barack obama had done. keeping with tradition today. making a promise there to the nation. i want to thank you most importantly, and i promise you that i will work so hard. we re going to get it turned around. we re going to bring our jobs back. we re not going to let other countries take our jobs any
washington is also going to impose on him. i don t mean the swamp or congress, i m going to mean being present. you can t be at the tomb of the unknowns is a commander in chief to be. you can t be at the lincoln memorial and see the man that brought us through the civil war and not feel that responsibilities of this offense direct office. you can see him so bring a little bit as he took and how. this is different. we are not in kansas anymore. martha: i don t think you can underestimate the sentiment you just talk about. i think about donald trump and you think were everywhere he goes, all of his buildings, there s al million pictures of him everywhere, but you got that feeling today that he is getting the sense of this being so much bigger than him. you think does have that be pervasive for him? to see continue to be a huge personality that we ve seen or does anything change? this is one of the big questions everyone will be watching. martha: i guess we ll have to wait and see
there will be political donors. now the world is watching. i will see you tomorrow and i will be cheering you on. you are going to cheer me on but i will be cheering you on, because what we have done is so special. all over the world they are talking about, all over the world. there were solemn emotional moments, mister trump and family members attended a wreath ceremony at the tomb of the unknowns. the reality of a change in leadership coming to fruition while mister pence reflected on serving indiana s people. normally i would not become boastful but when the next president of the united states tells you to do something you do it. here goes.
staffers that then went back the next morning, just a few of us that were there. it was about 0 degrees, it may be below zero, and that morning i took the subway to the white house come i didn t have a parking pass and where. they are had taken that way fo. everyone was so excited. ive have to say, walking around the city today, it s the same type of feeling. so i think that they have achieved that first beachhead of attempted to get the country to unify. tamara speech then comes the cast stone of that, andec that s the most important moment of his life so far. martha: it really is. it is such an astonishing, political, story that this man who has never held office before. absolutely. it is a learning experience. we saw mr. trump today at the tomb of the unknowns, very moving at the lincoln memorial, one of the great of the many sites here in washington, is he ise going to impose his will on the presidency in washington.
a spectacular set of fireworks, a very impressive concert earlier at arlington national cemetery. a very moving ceremony at the wreath laying ceremony at the tomb of the unknowns. david chalian, it s a whole new world right now here in washington that we re about to see. it is. and i think what we saw looking at jim s piece, the images of today coming off the military aircraft, going to arlington. being up there in the shadow of abraham lincoln. we saw for the first time donald trump start wearing the cloak of the presidency. and for someone who has been such an unconventional candidate and didn t look like what we were used to seeing as a presidential candidate necessarily out on the campaign trail. there are certain sort of rituals and traditions and a conventional nature at times to the presidency. as an institution. the person in it sort of carries that institution. and i thought today we got a sneak preview of looking at
