♪ [mortar fire] host: donald trump and jd vance sworn in earlier today in washington, becoming the 47th president of the united states. it was a peaceful transfer of power. and we're getting your reflections on the day this

evening. while we wait for more festivities to take place, the commander in chief ball right there on your screen is the president and first lady's first stop this evening. they are expected to attend three inaugural balls. there are several balls happening in washington. three official ones and numerous other unofficial ones as the party gets going here in the nation's capital. susan in bellville, illinois an independent. good evening to you. caller: good evening to you as well. i listened to the list of executive orders that donald trump was signing and i have to say pretty frightening series of documents. i did have two points to make. i will try to make them as quickly as possible. i know there is other people waiting on the line.

but most of the ones they described, they were like campaign promises. like one of them was executive order that we will make the cost-of-living affordable. without telling you how that's going to happen. that is just a campaign promise. that's not an order, that's not a directive. host: susan in illinois talking about the executive orders. he was in the oval office right away this evening after leaving the inaugural parade at the capital one arena. he went to the white house, signed several executive orders, including one to lower the costs for americans. talked about energy policy and of course the news that several outlets are reporting on is that he also pardoned january 6 defendants, 15 hundred, commuted the sentences of 14 others. there was also an executive order on tiktok and health care.

if you missed any of that signing ceremony, you can find it on our website at c-span.org. charlie, let's go to you in carlos, minnesota an independent. >> hey. host: charlie, your thoughts on this inauguration day? caller: it's a great day in america, don't you agree? host: what do you think? caller: i'm asking you, don't you agree? host: this is a conversation with all of you and you tell us what you think. that's what we do here on the c-span networks. caller: give me a smile. it's a great day. but you know what, what i really called about was joe biden and all the pardons he gave to family today. during the ceremony here. and, wow. host: so, charlie do we need to look at the pardon laws in? this country? the presidential power to

pardon. caller: absolutely, i would biden -- you know, he was being relieved of being president and started pardoning his full family, they are all pretty guilty, aren't they? host: charlie's thoughts in minnesota. connie in west virginia. connie, we saw a lot of pomp today and policy mixed in as well. what are your thoughts on this inauguration day? caller: i was very proud. i'm proud today to see america be america again. i didn't want to die in a land that we were giving away. but i'm proud today. i thought everything was beautiful, the speeches. everything, i followed it all day. i work at a school and i was not at school today because of the weather and i have enjoyed this

day. the golden ages, that is the ages that i am in, and when i see them having their speech and when they were talking in the podium was an eagle. i thought beautiful, never seen so much gold as i did when they were in that room. and everything so beautiful. host: connie's thoughts in west virginia. cnn was reporting that the president and first lady have left the white house for the inaugural balls. the first stop is the commander-in-chief ball there on your screen. what we expect is to see the first couple dance together. remarks from the president. we're also expecting a dance by the vice president and the second lady of the united states. and remarks by the vice president as well.

after the commander-in-chief ball, they will go on to the liberty ball, both of them taking place at the convention center here in washington, d.c. later on in the evening the president is expected to attend a third ball that is not open to the media. that will take place at union station in washington. doreen in california, we will hear from you next. your reflections of this inauguration day. caller: i am so excited and so happy. i am so pleased, i'm very proud to be an american today because i do know that things will get better. they will change. our borders are going to get better. the promises he made, i believe him. i don't believe that trump is going to be saying something and not doing it. he is going to have action and we will see how it turns out. but he will act upon all of his promises. i know he will. it was due to be done.

i think melania is a wonderful first lady. i can't be happier. i watched it, i tried as much as i could but i had to take a little brief time off, but i am calling from california. and i know that he is going to do the best he can. that's the kind of man he is. he's a good man. and he came across as a good man and a good friend to all of us. he has all of our best interests at heart and is very promising to me. i am thrilled. i can't wait to see what's going to happen in our future. host: doreen, watching all day today, and it began very early this morning with a church service at st. john's church here. just steps away from the white house. then the president went over to the white house for tea with

president joe biden. the two of them motorcading to our nation's capitol for the ceremony there and the peaceful transfer of power. donald trump took the oath of office becoming the 47 the president of the united states. there was lunch served and executive order signed. an inaugural parade that was brought inside. all of the festivities brought inside today here in washington for the first time in 40 years because of the frigid temperatures. c-span covered at all, so if you missed any of it unlike doreen who watched it all, you can find it on our website c-span.org or our free video and mobile app c-span now. tonight, we're covering the inaugural balls on c-span. we're waiting for president trump and first lady melania trump along with the vice president jd vance and his wife to attend the commander-in-chief ball, and then on to the liberty ball. debbie in clyde, texas,

republican. we are listening to you, go ahead, share your thoughts on the day. caller: oh, it is wonderful. i agree with everyone that is the best day. there is so much hope now because he is going to get america back to what it was before. because we are in dire need of a president. and he's going to -- i truly believe. on friday he is going to los angeles to that catastrophe. and he's going to make sure the people in north carolina have what they need. and the people he has chosen for his cabinet. they are being confirmed and they are good honest people. host: marco rubio confirmed earlier today.

>> and pete hegseth too. he was confirmed on a split decision. yes? host: so you're excited about what's coming next from this second trump administration? caller: yes i am so excited. because he doesn't speak that much. and he's not one to be idle. and he is really for the american people. d doesn't care if you are a democrat or republican. he doesn't care. he is just for the people of america. he shouted. he showed it before. if people would just have an open mind and not be so critical, they will see what he will do. and he is going to be there for anybody and all people. host: and i will just share what

you were saying, pete hegseth was confirmed, he is one step closer, this is from nbc senate armed services committee advances his nomination to lead the pentagon, and as you were saying it was a long party-line vote, nbc saying a cloud of controversy has hung over hegseth but he appears on track to be confirmed as trump's defense secretary. rudy, north hollywood, california. caller: hi, good evening. while, it feels -- wow, it feels great to be an american today. and i am just really excited about the future right now. i'm a california native -- host: what do you want president trump to do first? caller: i want him to come to los angeles and clean up our voter rolls. l.a. county has not had honest elections in many many years.

i am looking forward to meeting president trump when he comes to southern california later this week to survey the fire damage. i think the media is suppressing hegseth's advancement to the senate nomination. that happened five hours ago. we have not heard anyone talking about it really. i think there is going to be some challenges. what if people would understand how much they lost over the past four years, freedom of speech, ability to work unless they get a mandated vaccination. if you lived in los angeles county the last four years, you have no idea what it was like. it was just awful and the fire situation in los angeles county is such a terrible thing. i don't think people understand how bad it is. our city government, county government and state government has used it as an example not to

do anything to improve the quality of life for californians that have been struggling the last four years under the previous administration. so, i'm thrilled. and i asked that people will give president trump and his cabinet a chance to see what he can account was because he is a man of the people and has good intentions. host: and you are seeing the commander-in-chief ball there on your screen this evening. that is where the president is expected to make his first stop to celebrate with his supporters, military and service members at this ball. his supporters at the liberty ball and then donors at the ball later this evening. the entertainment tonight -- that's the liberty ball on your screen -- the entertainment tonight for the commander-in-chief ball includes country artist rascal flatts and parker mccollum. the entertainers for the liberty ball include jason aldean and the disco group the village people. you know the president is a fan

of the song "ymca," he at many areas of his campaign events, and the village people were at his rally last night at the capitol arena in washington. the inaugural events kicking off this weekend and continuing today on this january 20, 2025. mike in atlanta, maryland republican we will hear from you. caller: thanks for having me. i think everything is great. i watched from the beginning. it was the first person i voted for. that was the most peaceful four years. which is cool. i think he is going to do great this time. host: what do you want him to focus on first, mike? caller: so that we can afford stuff. i think he is going to do it. host: lowering the cost of what, food? caller: cost-of-living. host: marcus, lancaster,

california republican. hi, marcus. marcus in lancaster, california republican. hello, it's your turn. caller: hello, can you hear me? host: we can. caller: yeah i enjoyed the whole parade inside. i went to sleep for five seconds and i heard a cadence from a similar town i lived in tennessee, i think it was smyrna, and that woke me up and brought back some memories. i am appreciative that trump won. it's been a hard time in l.a. for a lot of people. i have been working helping the homeless out. the first thing i'd like him to do is really take care of the gang situation. i take care of my wife. i'm 53. i went to the store the other day and got attacked by one.

three minutes response time and i got out of there with my life. and i think trump will support life and i appreciate that. that is really all i have got to say. i voted for him twice and he has been nothing but straightforward . i know the media shenanigans and stuff. this has been going on a long time. and people really have to have clarity to do their own research. i have had to do that myself and it has made me more independent. i think that provides independence in our country and individuals. that is a great thing. host: were you watching earlier today when he was in the oval office for the first time since becoming the 47th president? were you watching? caller: i was watching. yeah, hi, can you hear me now? host: what did you think of that discussion that he had with the reporters in the room? caller: i thought he is

straightforward. he is trying to get everybody to have a responsibility if you have a mic in your hand and you have a responsibility to tell the truth. and facts matter. and that is important to people that are hanging on in despair. i'm strong but i know the other people need help, they are not that strong, and they are trying to depend on somebody to tell them something and they feel abandoned. host: marcus, i will leave it at that point and let others know, if you missed the oval office executive signing. the president did that earlier this evening after the inaugural parade and executive signing is there at the convention center in washington, or the capital one arena, excuse me. then he went to the white house, signed more, and he talked about each one that he was signing, he answered questions from reporters that were in the room. talked about a lot of different topics.

so if you miss that, find it on her website at c-span.org, or our free video mobile app. part of those executive orders was the pardoning of january 6 defendants. commuting 14 sentences. he spoke about that as well. right now on your screen is the u.s. marine band. they are warming up the crowd at the commander-in-chief ball waiting for the 47th president of the united states and the first lady melania trump to come to the first stop of the evening, the first ball for them, the commander-in-chief ball. we expect a dance and some remarks. while we wait, matt, in new york democratic caller. your reflections on this day. caller: yeah, hi, thank you. first, i'd like to say happy martin luther king jr. day. he was a great man. i'd like to thank all the military people that protect this country.

i would also like to say thanks to everyone. now i would like to go on before i get cut off -- hopefully i don't get cut off -- i'd like to say thanks for all the u.s. people out there who do good and say please and thank you and do everything. now i'd like to go on about saying how president trump will release the people that attacked on january 6, the white house. what if mar-a-lago got ransacked? would that be ok? you probably going to cut me off. host: we are still listening, matt. caller: he got shot in the ear but there is no injury there. that confuses me. once again, he cannot see milani f -- milani,'s -- melania's

face. host: we will go on to dan. 50 lakes minnesota, independent. caller: thanks a lot for what you have done. c-span helped change my life when i was a primary caregiver for my mom. turn me on to c-span when you put trump on in the debates when he was first coming in to try to win the primaries. good and stand him or his family or the kids on the apprentice, my mom and i would laugh. then i washed himself with this guy was doing. he doesn't need the money and saw how hard they came after him. and what he was doing to shake things up and exposing some stuff that is coming out get people all freaked out. it is really interesting to see today. just how happy people were at the ball, at the luncheons and stuff, after they were getting off here. you showed all that stuff -- host: and dan, we spoke with

some people too, who came here to washington. i want to show you what folks told us. our cameras went out today to talk to folks who traveled into washington for these inauguration festivities. take a look. >> hi, i am tracy richardson from ohio. i came here because i love this country. and my hope for the future is that we will be who we have always been, a free, caring people who work with one another for good not just for our country but really for the whole world. and i am also former military. i really hope that we can take care of our military. >> john smith from southern california. real blue state. certainly, it is turning red for donald trump. i think he is uniting the country.most important what you will do today is seal the border. and he will open up also drilling. he will be hard on crime. and the economy is going to come back.

i think it is going to be very quick. donald trump does a lot of magic things. that is most important. over the next four years, i think we will see the golden age of prosperity. people will hold on and this is going to be a good ride. people will be able to afford houses again. i think the economy is going to boom. it is going to help the middle class. the middle class will bloom again under donald trump. >> my name is donna from new jersey. >> also, i came from west new jersey. >> and we came here to the inauguration because we really want to see peace in the world. we want to see peace in the middle east. and we want to be respected and in the number one nation in the world like we have been thus far. we want to see these positive changes. >> i am from venice, florida. i have been supporting trump since around 2021. saw joe biden come into office, realized kind of screwed things

up. understood that trump was a much better president. then we went through his administration and i really started to realize he is the better president. the biggest thing i'm looking forward is probably the border. it is a crime drugs, fentanyl, homelessness in our great cities. if we can close our border and get deportations going, we will have a much cleaner and safer country. host: supporters of president donald trump who have traveled to washington today for the inauguration of the 47th president. we are waiting for him and the first lady melania trump to attend the commander-in-chief ball. that is the scene on your screen. we are live there inside the washington convention center. the marine band is warming up the crowd. you can see folks are getting excited. in anticipation of seeing the president and the first lady. we expect them any minute. while we wait, we are getting

lot of need to be in one party or the other. he really represents all of us. when my youngest grandson was eight years old, trump was elected. and jake has been a fan ever since. so, we have a future. and our grandchildren and our children have a future. thank you, donald trump. host: christie's thoughts from california. leona in cedar key, florida an independent. caller: yes hello, thank you for taking my call, i am an independent i have voted democrat and republican. i am so proud to be an american. this is a historic event that all people -- host: leona, hail to the chief is playing. let's go live to the commander-in-chief inaugural ball. >> ladies and gentlemen, please

to support our nation's heroes and on behalf of every american i want to thank you very much. we have some people with us tonight. we have the head of the republican party and then she said, i think that is enough for me now so let's win and go do something else because she wants to get back to her beautiful babies. she has married to a guy known as my son, eric trump. and laura was chairman along with michael whatley of the republican party and they were tough. they were not going to stand for any nonsense. a fantastic job. and we won every single swing state. we won the popularity, we were the most popular candidate in a long time. and i have to tell you with the military, we really won!

we really won. i want to thank, obviously, a tremendous supporter of yours and if i ever got out of line she would get me right back in line when it comes to you, melanie, the first lady. and our vice president. you know him well. he is all about you. he is a big believer in our military, jd vance and his wife. and i have other family members here. don is here somewhere and ivanka is here. we have a lot of family members. tiffany is here. barron was with us today. he is the tall one and he is doing a good job. today we celebrate the enduring

strength and resilience of our glorious republic. it is highly appropriate that we also honor the men and women that keep us safe and that is what you are. your bravery -- your bravery inspires us and your service unites's and your sacrifice protect us all. we made a little speech today and i think you probably saw it. who did see it or hear it? did anybody? i think we said a lot and we said more than anything else that we love you, we respect you so much and we have a big commitment to each and everyone of you starting today. america will be stronger and greater then it has ever been before. and it is happening. that was a big win, a tremendous win and we all worked hard for it. a big part of the reason that i won was because of my relationship with you so we appreciate it. under the leadership of our next

secretary of defense who i just saw, pete hegseth who was fantastic. where is pete? i saw him backstage. there are so many people. how do you find anybody in this crowd? if pete is around or can hear this,, on up here -- come on up here. we will again build the most powerful military the world has ever seen. we did that four years ago and then it was a little bit dissipated but we will do it again with much -- making it bigger and stronger than ever before. we will have a nice iron dome. you will protect us with the use of the iron dome. instead of worrying about political agendas, you don't have to worry about that at all. there is only one focus -- though america's enemies. we are not going to be defeated,

we are not going to be humiliated. we are only going to win, win, win. and we really do have some just incredible people working with us. so, i've been looking around for generals like george patton and douglas. they used to say bad things about him but now he is well-respected. we all fight to win and we are going to win and win like never before. the economy. the economy is going to be strong. we are not going to let the friendly and unfriendly nations push us around from any standpoint including the economy because we have something they don't have. we have a power they don't have. liquid gold under our feet the likes of which no other nation -- and as i said in my inaugural address, we will measure our

success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we and and perhaps more -- most importantly, the wars we never get into. it is called "peace through strength." we won't have to fight a war. right? we don't have to fight the wars if we can do it without fighting. as long as we have total victory, and we do it without fighting through our power and might. we will lead our world to peace. our friends will respect us and our enemies will fear us and the whole world will admire the unrivaled greatness of the u.s. military. we totally rebuilt the u.s. military in 2017, 2019, 2018. we rebuilt the entire u.s. military and now we are going to do it again. a lot of it has been dissipated. a lot of people that don't know what the hell they were doing but we will do it again and this

is going to be the dawn of the golden age of america. this is the golden age of america. and tonight i am filled with optimism for what lies ahead over the next four years. we will replenish the pride of our armed forces and the recruitment crisis. and by the way, the recruitment numbers are through the roof in the last two months. i wonder why. why the hell -- you have a little problem with recruitment, die is not good. and now the numbers are higher --do you know why? they love what they see for the future of our country. and they did not love what they were seeing for the last four years. it was ridiculous. it is a big thing, actually, there are big stories that recruiting has gone through the roof. i want to thank every

servicemember here tonight. i want you to know that you are at the heart of america's greatness. it is an exceptional honor to join you again and serve as magnificent nation that we all love that we will make bigger, better, stronger. we will make it something where even you are surprised and it will be led by the strength of our military. we will make our military so strong that we don't have to use it. wouldn't that be good? they will look at us and say, there is no way we are going after that one. so i want to just say to you, god less you, god bless our armed forces, god bless our men and women serving overseas and god bless the united states of america. thank you.
