[ ♪ theme ♪ ] >> stephanie: okay. here we go. we're not in any way hung over from inauguration festivities. i did not just get here 20 seconds ago. and jacki schechner look at you. you're fully prepared. you were out until 4:00 a.m. >> you're not supposed to tell people that! i went home with you at 1:00 and wrote my news. >> stephanie: sure, you did. >> exactly what i did. >> not that i was posting on twitter at 4:00 a.m. >> stephanie: i think you saw from the pictures what i was

doing. hanging out with the vice president. we'll talk about that a little bit. in the meantime, here she is. it was a big fing deal. here she is, jacki schechner in her current news hovel here on the road. >> at least you got out of captain america's underpants. >> pup tent. >> right now this hour former presidents, house members senators governors cabinet members all start arriving for the inauguration. as do the crowds. the estimates have gotten as high as about 900,000 people at this point. this is minuscule however compared to last inauguration. 1.8 million but of course we're a little more subdued. the first lady will be seated at 11:14. vice president biden seated next then president obama then we get the invocation from marley evers williams. eves widow.

justice sotomayor swears in the justice. john roberts swears in the president. we'll hear his inaugural address around noon. all of this is just pomp and circumstance because the president actually was sworn in for his second term yesterday. he had a quiet ceremony in the blue room of the white house with family and some media. his first action of his second term was hugging his family and saying to sasha i did it. isn't that sweet? there is a constitutional requirement that he has to be sworn in by noon on the 20th which is why they had to do it yesterday. >> stephanie: i didn't realize we were still here. i'm not used to it. hi. >> just drink your coffee. sit there and look pretty. >> after today this is an interesting tidbit, president obama will match president franklin roosevelt's president of being sworn in four times because last year chief justice roberts flubbed the official oath and they had to do it again out of an abundance of caution.

yesterday he was sworn in. today will be the fourth. so we're going to hear the speech. we think it's going to be hopeful tone. optimistic. the about the has to get right to work. deal with the debt ceiling immigration and of course, we know gun control. agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us.

going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections tuberculosis

lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. desmond tutu said a quote that is one of my favorite quotes. "we are tied together in a web of humanity. i am a person only through you. i can only be a person only through you." that really resonates me and drives my work. the world is becoming an incredibly connected place.

mobile phones are really driving that connection. at kiva, we run an internet marketplace. people can lend to other people for the purpose of starting a small business, going to school or a variety of other good causes. you can go to kiva.org and you can see pictures and profiles of people from over sixty countries all across the world. you can lend them as little as $25. if they are successful, they will pay you back. dear rixi, you're a honduran immagrant. you're coming to the us, you have an idea to start, you know, a women's cosmetics store or a clothing store. you're going to need a lot of things, ya know, to pay the rent, permits inventory, advertising, marketing so that adds up quite a bit. you're going to need tens of thousands of dollars to start a small busines. there is ten million-plus people completely left out of the formal finical system. banks don't lend to people like that at all.

there is a lot of opportunity to decrease unemployment, provide employment, provide economic opportunity and raise our standard of living by investing in small business. our hearts are an incredibly powerful thing. good technology can help amplify this power and create an incredibly powerful force that can spread to every country in the world. current tv presents special coverage of the presidential inauguration. the pomp, the circumstance the insight and analysis. only on current tv.
