a little guilty about this because it was great to be very cold, but we have the sun in our backs, and right now it's doing okay. it feels okay. and i was just thinking, i remember coming to an aggravation in 2008 a rock. obama is 1st and not gratian. it was just a couple of degrees warmer. and that wasn't too much different. and it wasn't funny about that. so but did, but they did have to commit to something and they, they play the, they made a conservative call and they, they probably need the right call because it's, it is, it doesn't think it's also a little bit warmer and not as windy today as they just went in and temperatures are starting at minus 5 degrees celsius. sorry i'm speaking in celsius because i know that doesn't mean all you want to use minus 5 degrees celsius a mirror. that's the sort of a your, the arm opening gambit worth of the day. and then i'm going down to minus 10 degrees celsius mafia. christopher might show opera singer the area the

the good morning everyone. welcome to the 60 a presidential nog ration today. president elect trump and vice president elect bands will take their oath of office, and we will witness the peaceful transfer of power at the heart of our democracy of the for the past year of here, the inaugural ceremony committee, which includes the leadership of congress from both parties, we think the committee and capital staff and law enforcement who work so hard over the last year. and especially the last 3 days. you've done a beautiful job and you have shown grace under pressure.

the theme this here is, are in during democracy. the presence of so many presidents and vice presidents here today is truly a testament to that endurance. we welcome president biden and dr. by then. we welcome vice president harrison doug m a hot president. obama president clinton and secretary clinton, president bush and laura bush, vice president pens, vice president quayle and maryland. quail. the justices of the united states supreme court are with us all 9 of them. i counted. and of course, the trump in vance families. this ceremony marks what will soon be 250 years of our democracy. it is the moment when leaders elevated by the will of the people promised to be faithful to our constitution,

to cherish and defend it. it is the moment when they become, as we all should be the guardians of our country, through war and peace through adversity and prosperity. we hold this and our gratian every 4 years. and today it falls on martin luther king day. a further reminder that we must strive to uphold the values enshrined in our constitution, the freedoms, the liberties, and as is inscribed on the entrance of the united states supreme court, equal justice under law of the what makes this moment more than a passing ceremony is all who are watching it across the country, the people of this nation, the ordinary people, doing extraordinary things. president kennedy, who at one point worked as

a senator in this building and would often walk through this very road, turned one said, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of interest in politics, holds the office. every one of us is in a position of responsibility. with that responsibility of citizenship comes an obligation not to seek out malice as president lincoln once reminded us, but to view others with the generosity of spirit. despite our differences. with that responsibility of leadership comes an obligation to stand our ground when we must and find common ground when we can with everything swirling around us, the hot mess of division it is on all of us to quote an incredible songwriter who just happened to be born in my state to ensure that our nation's democracy is our

shelter from the storm. there is a reason this ceremony takes place at the capital. in other countries, it might be in a presidential palace or a gilded executive office building. here it is traditionally held at the capital, the people's house. it is a fitting reminder of the system of checks and balances. that is the very foundation of our government, 3 equal branches of government. that is how for nearly 250 years, our great american experiment, grounded in the rule of law has endured. so, as we are not great, a new president and vice president. let us remember that the power of those in this room comes from the people. the construction workers who build our country, the teachers and health care workers who nurture us, the troops defending our freedoms. and yes, the fire fighters in los angeles,

putting themselves on the line for the bar, democracy strength and rich must match. there's may god bless our nation. thank you. the good afternoon. endurance through the years is the ultimate test. to persevere through time. this was truest, major of an idea,

an institution, and a nation. our founders wrote the constitution so that america could withstand all the twists and turns of time they wrote it to guide us and to preserve for ever our right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. but as much as the troops and principals enshrined in our constitution, remain the same. our democracy promises the american people, the power to change, to charge their own destiny. that's the beauty. that is the importance of democracy. it allows the endurance, the permanence of a nation through change. it allows nations like our united states,

both to avoid the obstacles and to seize the opportunities god has placed before us. all why say and true to our founding principles. today is our country's 60 s and modernization ceremony. like all the others before it is a celebration of our right to set our uniquely american corps. the past several years have been trying at times for many, many americans. and also for the nations of the free world that we humbly strive to lead. in november, americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness, the secure, safe and prosperous future that our founders envisioned for all of us. and today, we celebrate not only their decision to do so,

but also the simple right and wisdom of a free people to make their own choice so that their nation might endure. and now allow me to welcome archbishop timothy dolan and reverend franklin graham, who will deliver our invocation. please rise. the or be still and know that i am god supreme among the nation supreme on the earth. let us pray. remembering general george washington on his knees at valley forge, recalling abraham lincoln at his 2nd,
