Of the first term. Whats that mean for the next four years . Also, house leadership on the debt ceiling, whats the next move there . Former white house economic adviser todd buckles will be with us. Thank you for watching. See you right back here tomorrow. Have a good night. Lou good evening, everyone. President obama today delivered his second and final inauguration speech in front of an estimated crowd of a Million People. Nearly half of the 1. 8 million who saw the president s swearing in back in 2009. President obama marking the occasion, pushing the liberal concept of more government taking Campaign Style jabs at his political opponents all the while. Progress is not compel us to settle, centurys long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time. [applause] for now, decisions are upon us. We can want afford delay. We can want mistake absolutism for principle. Substitute speck tack kl for politics or treat name calling for reasoned debate. [applause] we must act. We must act knowing that our work will be unperfect. We must act knowing that todays victoryings will victories are only partial. Lou the president sounded like he was checking off a list touching a wide array of concepts and goals. The president vowing to take up Climate Change after ignoring the subject for the past five years and promising to continue the purr institute of alternative energy after highly public failures. The president showed support for voting blocked that helped gain relexes, support for Immigration Reform and gay rights. Mention of entitlements was followed by a campaignstyle dig at his former opponent, mitt romney, and conservative lawmakers. The commitments we make to each other through medicaid, med cash, social security, these things do not sap our initiative. They strengthen us. [applause] they do not make us a nation of takers. They free us to take the risks that make this country great. Lou president obama seemed to return to the class Warfare Campaign rhetoric equating freedom with Financial Success. Diminishing the fact that folks work hard for success. For we remember the lessons of the past when Twilight Years were spent in poverty and parents of the child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky or happyiness for the few. Lou president obama a day into the fouryear term. The inauguration is covered here tonight from all angles. Republican of texas joining us, the ateam and monica youley along with the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, judy, and joining us here today, and president obama ice second inauguration falling on the Martin Luther king holiday. The symbolism not lost on the president as he navigated through l pomp and circumstance of the occasion to give a glimtion of the Progressive Agenda if the next four years. White house correspondent ed henry has the report. For president obama, plenty of differences from four years ago. Hes grayer, weather warmer, crowd smaller, and the oath of office had no slip ups. This time, he was more aggressive in using his inaugural address to reprize the central message of the Campaign Making it clear he believes he has a mandate. For weeks, the people understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do well and a growing many barely make it. Reporter the nations first africanamerican president sworn in for a second term on the Martin Luther king jr. Holiday leaning on the words of king and lincoln. Through blood drawn by lash and sword, we learn no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half slave and half free. Casting himself in the mold of the great civil rights leader, vowed action on a series of issues from Climate Change to Immigration Reform and became the first president to use the word gay in the address. Our gurn noi are not complete until wives, daughters, can earn a wage equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brother and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law. He offered a bigger defense of entitlement programs. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit, but we reject the belief america has to choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. Like every president since fdr, mr. Obama started it with a Prayer Service at st. Johns church before departing the white house for one of the longest motorcades known to man for the ride to the capitol. Oh beautiful a starstudded affair where else will paul ryan mingle with beyonce who belted out the national anthem. When the ceremony was over, there was a sed di stream of pomp and circumstance waiting. Secretary of state, from signing papers to lunch with congressional leaders, and then, of course, the parade. The first family could make their way back to the white house in that grand bullet proof review stand. All of that could wait because before leaving the west front. Capitol, the president decided to go off selfincriminate and take in the vista of the national mall. Mr. Obama also seemed to be taking in the moment, overheard saying he would never quite see this view again. As a president gets ready to try to sell the agenda in the state of the Union Address next month, its worth noting that gallop is out today with the average of the Approval Ratings for the first term. He had the third worst numbers since world war ii, only better than carter and ford. Although, its also worth noting that the two president s ahead of him, clinton and reagan, had some rough spots in the second term, but also got a lot down. Lou . Lou thank you very much. Joining us now, the ateam, author of what the bleep just happened, judy miller, michael goodwin, and all three Fox News Contributors. Good to have you with us. Monica, start with, first, ed henry reported, president , aggressively progressive. If thats the word to use, a strong leftist tone throughout. Yes, no big surprise. If anybody were under the illusion somehow the president was a secret moderate or wanted to reach across the aisle, work across the party, concerned about legacy building bridges to the opposition, it should have been disabused of 24 notion as of the speech. It was a heartless speech. No mystery about who barack obama is, what he believes, what he has done with the nation over the last four years, and what he intends to do over the next four. Lou your take . Well, surely, monica, you cannot be surprised by who barack obama is. He has doubled down on the you didnt build this theme. That is we all built this collectively we are great. If were note taking anything, we are being freed to excel. I think this is what his base wanted to hear, what the people who elected him wanted to hear. Hes tired of trying to make nice nice with the congress. He wanted to say what he believes. Lou are you saying to hell with republicans is what was in his mind . To hell with half of the country that didnt vote for him . This is his vision of the country. I think he wants to be the liberal answer to reagan. Michael . Well, if hes tired of working with congress, he didnt have the energy to start with then because he didnt try very hard, and this did strike me, lou, as a kind of joyless event today. I mean, there was a of course hes somewhat somber, sort of transfer of power, queue you know in herely, but in reality, there was a scolding tone to a lot of this speech, and its just this america has failed, america has not lived up to these ideals. Thats the undercurrent. I mean, i find that disheartening because i think this is the greatest country, and for him to lecture us were not good enough, its demoralizing. Lou it your comment about joy, not much of it was evident to me either. There were pictures of the president chewing gum in the review stand. You know, maybe im a bit of a prig on this sort of thing, but it was it was belter than him smoking dpsh probably what he wanted. Exactly, which is what he really wanted to do. He was really startling to see it. Going through the rhetoric with you, and get the audiences reaction as well. Heres quotes i want to go to from the president today. While the truths may be selfevident, they have never been selfexecuting. Now, i dont know what the man is paying his speech writers, but thats he needs a refund on a portion of the salaries. Yeah. Lou it makes truth sound suicidal. I mean, what what in the world is that . Then he turns to lincoln saying through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned no union foundedded on the principles liberty and quality could survive half slived and free, made ourselves a new and vowed to move forward together. I dont know about you, you i was stunned by that. Heres the man he says he is and acts like a fan of Abraham Lincoln, and he doesnt give our president , Abraham Lincoln, the credit for having save the union. You know, he doesnt acknowledge the saves in the country in 1860, there was not an uprising. The north liberated, freed those slave, and president lincoln led the way. In somewhere surely, theres not to be an impulse to be right with history. Remember, lou, hes a far left ideology believing america is the root of evil, not just at home, but abroad. It is a very, i think, pathological ideology, and thats where you see the joy with him. Previous president s worked their entire lives to get to the white house. Once they got there, they relished the job. They loved the constitution. They loved what america represented. You dont get that sense from this president. Lou we dont get that sense, nor do we see great reference. He spoke to me, judy, as a man who sees himself apart rather than the beneficiary or the heir to the american experience. To american values, and all the sacrifices gone before. I think the acknowledgement that 360,000 yiewn your Union Soldiers died to free the slaves. Whatever he harbors, some historical resentment, should be halved by the nobility, the unique nobility in a country in which the people turned to their own citizens and fought them to the death, a great sacrifice to free saves, to make good a terrible wrong. Do you not see this in this . Lou, i see it differently. Its the first africanamerican president. He doesnt talk about that because its obviously just standing in front of you what he represents. Lou no, no, its obvious to all of us. Its about what is obvious to him, judying and whats of to him, and we have to take this up further with the bring you back here in this hour to further examine this issue in a great deal more. Monica, judith, and michael will return. Well have much more on the president s inauguration, policy goals for the second term of his presidency, and we examine them throughout the broadcast. President obama sworn in on bibles used by Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther king, but is the president using a scriptures to unite or divide . Author and professor of religion at boston university, steven, joins us. President obama, act two, the president calling for unity, but hitting at divisive liberalism. What will the republicans do .

For the first time in almost four years. Now, the republicans have up vailed a bill to suspend the debt limit with a vote set for as early as wednesday. Details of that legislation include this suspension of the debt ceiling for three months. On the 19th of may, the debt limit increases from 16. 4 trillion to accommodate additional raring the treasury requires r and bills withholes the pay of lawmakers if Congress Fails to pass a budget by the 15th of april putting the money in escrow to comply with the 27th amendment of the constitution. Joining us now is congressman gomert, vice chair of the subcommittee on crime, terrorism, and homeland security, and republican of texas. Good to have you with us. First your impression before we turn to the debt limit of the president s inaugural address. Well, lou, he started out great, quoting from the declaration from our founding documents, you know, endowed by the creator with certain inalienable rights saying that although they were selfevident, they are not selfexecuting as you pointed out earlier. Now, as a lawyer, that sounds okay in court, you know, talking about the selfexecuting will or affidavit, but im afraid for those of us listening to an inaugural, it was more rem necessary sent of lincoln saying we will live america, talking about the country, will live through all time or die by suicide will be selfexcuting. Theres things in the speech that made my think, perhaps, thats the path hes going. When he talks about, you know, we can no longer have a rich few make it and the others have, many having difficulty barely making it. Look, hes done more to help the rich get richer and the poor get poorer than any president i recall in the lifetime than looking at stats that i have before. Hes been arrogant at times. I hate to say it, but sometimes dismissive, even deer risessive, and those comments were in this. Lou, the best thing about the speech, and i made the note because he said we cannot mistake absolutism for principle or politics or treat name calling as reasoned debate. Thank you, president. I think now well have four years of peace hes not calling republicans names for a change. I was so glad that was in the speech. Lou im sure that will be reciprocated immediately by the g. O. P. Lets turn to the debt ceiling oh, we have a debt problem . Lou republicans make a a move to ends the nonsense. I hope you tell me tonight theres no discussion by the republicans whatsoever of shutting down the government, that this is going to stay positive and move forward. All i want is spending under control. Thats what we campaigned on because we are bankrupting this nation. We cannot continue on this path. Lou congressman, we talked for years. Sure. Lou i have heard that speech to the point that it makes me think you dont realize while youre in the majority, conservative republicans thank you. Lou that you dont realize fully that youre in a majority of a house that is only onethird of government. Oh, listen, i get it, but nothing that raises revenue, nothing that provides money to any part of our government gets there unless the majority in the house pass it. Lou right. Lou, thats leverage to bring spending under control. Weve just finished two years where every fight we came up to, we were told, you know what . This is probably not the best place for the fight, but now the next cr, thats where we are going to fight. You know what . The cr is not the best place. Do the debt ceiling, the next one so at some point we have got to use leverage we have to bring this spending down and to actually make the president do what he said in the speech. Lou perhaps ag agree vat, you have the leverage in point of fact to pressure the senate to move towards a budget. You have the no lou do you still have the leverage to say no . Theres not a bigger windmill were jousting at. I cashed out everything other than my house in the i way of assets to run for congress. I made sacrifices in income to become a judge when we needed one in tyler, texas, and now im told that we are going to give the pour to the senate lou who is telling you that . To determine whether or not house members get paid. Lou congressman, who is telling you that . Who is telling you that . Our leadership has said, and there was people in the conference that want to do that. They said, hey, pass a law that says we dont get paid if everybody in the house and senate doesnt pass a budget. Im going youre going to give the mill naivers club down in the senate the authority to decide whether or not we get paid in the house . Lou there are a few millionaires, congressman, and i know in the house, there are. There sure are. Im proud for nancy pelosi. Lou we are out of time. We have a hard break coming. Sure. Lou i love talking to you, conk congressman, or listening, but we have a hard out. Is this debt deal being proposed now to vote on wednesday, it looks like, are youssef mejri going to support it . Will it prevail . Will it work . Not without spending cuts. Not without a balanced budget amendment, something more than kicking the can down the road. Lou oh, sounds like we slipped back a ways there. Congressman, good talking with you. Appreciate it. Come back soon, and well follow your progress. Thank you. Lou congressman, one of the terrific folks on capitol hill. Now, to the weekend box office. It was dominated by movies featuring actress jessica chastain, the horror film mama, sorry to laugh, but its a film named mama, brought in 28. 5 million. Who i mean, you cant argue with the market, can you . She also took second place with zero dark thirty taking in 16 million. I think you might consider, if you are making a movie, jessica to be featured prominently. The Silver Linings playbook third with 11 million, and what spob arian nailed schwarzeneggers big come back movie was like, well, his political career, a big flop.
