I am on social security. Democrats were a very good party at one time. It turned against the law of god and the republicans i never trusted, but i dont feel even though he ran on a republican ticket, i think he is as much for the democrats as he is for the republicans. Since i had seen him tonight, i think more of him than i ever did before. I can see how much he cares about every buddy, wants our country to be so successful and get back what we used to have. He cares about everybody. Much it meant to him. Host is there something you would like to see him say . You believe hes going to work for the good of everyone. There are a lot of people are very concerned and worried that the wealth and success has always been in politics. He says we will not have politics like that anymore.

I have no idea how somebody could watch that yesterday and not think he would do a great job. Host what stood out most in that speech to you . Caller just everything about it. His tone.

I am 48 years old and ive tried to watch every speech ive been alive for on inauguration day. Never have i heard such pride. I watched it live on the west coast and fell asleep shortly after that. I woke up, the inaugural ball was on. I dont wish anybody who supports him any disrespect. We are not going to get anywhere if we are just going to line up on different sides and bark at each other. That will get us absolutely nowhere. But his pride is what scares me more than anything. You can argue policy differences , but if asun rises man is filled with pride, as he clearly is, there is just nobody else host on the issue of unity, do you think it is the job of President Trump to try to unify the nation after the election season which was divisive . Or, do you think americans can come together themselves regardless of who is in the white house . Caller i believe it is both. Absolutely both. It is every persons job to love their neighbor as themselves. To fdrer also has famously said to the people who came and asked him for civil rights things in the 1940s, i agree with you, now, go out and make me do it. Its both of our jobs.

Host carol is calling in from North Carolina. Good morning, carol. Caller good morning. America said we will never be ignored again. That is what everybody should listen to. It is one thing if you live in california and you have reaped all the wealth of the country sitting out there, but when you are living in North Carolina, on , in the lowert counties, nobody was reaping, everybody was being taken away. But nobody wants to listen to what happens in one section. Everybody thinks the rest of the world has to live like new york and california. They did not. Now, it will be we the people, not we the rich state of america. There are so many divisions within the nation, do you think there is something the theident can say to make people in places like North Carolina and the people in california have a more united front for what is best for all americans . Caller i dont think there is any division in america. The division was created in congress and by our media. The media is the one that comes displayedevision and this untruth of what is really going on out there. They think they can just show hollywood or just showed new york. You dont hear of anybody in the media telling the real truth of what is going on in america. It is all this liberal stuff. If you just dont want to go their way, there is no way at all. Welcome in the American People said no. It is going to be we the people, not we the politicians. It is not a republican or democrat that you need to theore something in politician area up there in washington. It is not republican or democrat come it is we the people.

And giving it back to you, the people. [applause] trump for too long, a small group in our Nations Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself. But not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. While they celebrated in our Nations Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. [applause] trump that all changes starting right here and right now.

Strd w a yeerto aesas way [vlicaan yll meetove w bakn i that maybe you had never even thought about visiting and met people that on the surface seemed completely different from you, did not look like you or or like the same tv programs as you and yet, when you started talking to them, it turned out you had something in common. People took notice. It was infused with a sense of hope. As i said in 2004, it wasnt blind optimism that drove you to do all this work. Or willfulaivete ignorance of all the challenges that america faces. It was hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. You proved the power of hope. Throughout this process, michelle and i, we have been your front men and women. Face, sometimes , out front on the tv screen or in front of the microphone this has never been about us. It has always been about you. Things that have happened over these last 10 years are really just a testament to you. Host ann is calling in from georgia. Caller how are you this morning . Host im great. Thank you for calling in. Say, i i just wanted to dont think he can unite the country for several reasons. Whennk you will see that using the women marching all over the world. Thats when you see the women marching all over the world. Countriesed out in with daylight before we do. Trump careshink about the things that women care about. They dont think he is going to really respect women. Look at some of the things he said during the campaign. I think we can begin to see the kind of person he really is. People did not believe the bad stuff, they only look at the promises he made about bringing jobs back. He has plans in 12 foreign in 12ies plants Foreign Countries where his products are produced. How can they think that a man is going to bring work back to the unite states when all of his workers are overseas . Really conning people. Goes far beyond any action he is going to do for the American People. The he did was he played on fears of people, he is take rhetoric. He used hate rhetoric his actions and his words have been far more divisive than anything else. I do think the media has played in making some sort of equivalency between the and othert he did things that were not nearly as radical or is important. Suitsump industry has had filed against him, hes had women who have filed suits against them for assault. People ignore them.

Being a native american who montana,small town watching whats going down in north dakota with the oil pipeline and how we are being ignored, it worries me. I am hopeful that he is going to shake up washington and the politics there. Because it needs to happen. We will miss obama. He had his flaws, hillary had hers, bill has is. We all have flaws. Is do you think it you think it is harder to govern when the populace is divided as opposed to more united . In 1977. Was born i did not get to witness the vietnam era. Cspan thising morning with them talking about fishe fascism and everything else, it seems like vietnam, antigovernment is coming back. People are fighting back and we need to do that.
