sometime next because democrats may require debate time and they might have to go across a procedural hurdle to stave off a filibuster and they would up sensibly have the votes to do that and you will need a simple majority to do this right now but the senate might be voting around the clock here at some point. i remember back in 2017 was some of president trump's nominees they had one vote at 7:00 a.m. and one to be the hss secretary at 2:00 a.m. so we may say that in the coming days. >> track, live on the hill, thank you. >> martha: peter is alive from the north lawn where there has been a chains of residency over the course of today. hi, peter. >> you can see it's happening just over my shoulder. there are big trucks moving stuff out from the biden family and moving stuff in for the trump family as we understand it they have been told they have about five and a half hours for that entire process to take

place and in the office part of the white house we are noticing the transition as well. a few minutes ago the first trump administration staffers showed up. they technically can come in until afternoon and we did see some senior-level people in the west wing until just before noon at which point a secret service officer walked through the west wing were all of the photos of joe biden are gone. they left the gold frames of but all the biden photos are gone and the secret service basically went in and locked the door so they could do a sweep. it seems like they wanted to make sure that all the biden people were gone so that they could bring a busload of trump folks in. as we understand it, the rest of the day president trump and vice president vance will go to greet their adoring fans at the capital one arena for what is left of the parade that was going to be outside which has been moved inside then they will come here for some more of these

executive order signings. president biden -- president trump, i will have to get used to that, president trump is promising about 200 of them so there are a lot left. it seems like some of them will be signed in front of a cheering crowd which has never happened. some weeks back to be in the oval office which we should have around the time tonight. >> we know that his team has been working hard to get all of these executive orders together and that last time around it took until the end of march to get most of the cabinet confirm so there is a real rush to do this at obama pace is what they've been saying which is to get most of them done early on so we will see how that goes. peter, thank you. >> welcome to our panel charlie, kellyanne conway. charlie in the past few minutes at the pentagon the portrait was removed from the chairman of the joint chiefs hall. there is now, the former

chairman of the joint chiefs that portrait was put up ten days before, ten days ago rather and he was pardoned today. by president biden's. >> i guess joe biden's pardoned did not extend to protecting his portrait in the hallway. it will be an interesting four years and i think we were reminded of this with what i thought was a marvellous speech where they campaign was not a joke yet again. he meant what he said and he walked in that room and anyone that spent time in the rotunda knows it's a magnificent place, an awesome place. you can work there for ten years and every time you walk through it it's breathtaking. and you walk in there and that speech was not designed for the people in that room. that speech was designed for people across the country and i loved what jessica said earlier talking about the number of people that voted for joe biden the first time who were open to

trump this time. trump is still selling. he has an audience and he peppered his speech with his policy positions because he still thinks he can win those people over and i think that is what we saw today. he thinks that he will continue making the sale for his policy proposals and it always they worked in the election and i think if you look at polling right now where people feel about the country i think there really is room to grow for him. >> kelly-anne, your thoughts as you listen to the speech and last time around you were very instrumental in the campaign and worked at the white house under president trump so your thoughts as you hear the new staffers are moving in and that they are getting to work? >> i'm delighted. i've heard from a number of them including elena who has my old office and title. best of luck to her. i love in president trump speech that he goes for the legacy because that is a question i've

been getting often. what does he want everyone to know after these eight years with a four-year interruption in between? he wants his legacy to be peacemaker in unifier and people can chuckle at that but the burden of proof has always been higher than anyone else. barack obama went and collected the nobel peace prize as a peacemaker in oslo before he even took office. we assumed he would be a peacemaker so one president trump actually says this is his goal for a legacy, he will think about that every single day while he is doing energy security which looks at national security and sovereignty while having the conflicts and resolving them. this is important. i want to say it when i walked in the white house for the first time it really is daunting and special but every single day i worked there i knew something that we didn't know the last four years which is who is in charge? who is actually the president? a question everyone has been asking for four years. who is actually running the house -- the white house.

who is the president? they were doubtful that joe biden was doing it and that kamala harris could do it. there has never been a doubt as to who the two who the president of the united states is when donald trump is behind the resolute desk. >> in the past few minutes there has been video coming from the borders, the port of entry in el paso shut down and action on border ports of entry. there is stuff happening and these executive orders and actions will be a flurry through the day. >> the most significant portion of the executive orders from my perspective all have to do with the border and immigration obviously there will be a legal fight kicked off right off the bat when it comes to the birthrates of citizenship issue and i think that you will see legal issues play out in regards to a number of steps that he takes. i am gratified frankly that he has done something that i think should have been done a long time ago which is to acknowledge the degree to which mexican cartels represent a clear and present danger to the american

people and that identifying them as terrorist organizations is going to trigger a ton of things as it relates to law enforcement and the like. one thing about that speech regardless of what was being said by president trump, the mood in that rotunda has to be one of the most unique and tense ones i think that we've ever seen for a speech. especially given the flurry of pardons that we came into the day with. including obviously anthony fauci and including mark and members of joe biden's family. i know that when they cancelled the reagan outside inauguration and moved indoors it's because it was 7 degrees outside. 28 degrees outside when the president started speaking. i think it was colder than that inside that rotunda in terms of the chilly atmosphere. the outgoing administration, their relationship internally between the bidens and the harrises and the relationship with nancy pelosi which we saw

playing out. there is so much tension between the political class on the democratic side and on the republican side, this is so much more unity then we saw when he came in in 2017. a much more unified leadership of the republican coalition. >> not to mention that the beginning was brutal. almost like in-your-face harold. [laughter] it was really there. >> yes, he was giving the speech imagining them on the receiving end. >> the audience was outside the room and i thought except for those first few seats behind him and on the left, he was clearly addressing. very much in the similar way to the first inaugural speech he gave. what he saw as an honest assessment of what we all need to face in terms of what the problems are in the country and how to address them. i do want to go back to what he was just referring to. were you surprised when you heard that just 15 minutes before this got underway,

joe biden pardon to the members of his own family and why was not necessary? >> i did think that we were done for the day with the first batch with fauci and then january 6 committee members so was a bit of a surprise and obviously that it's going on as the same time we are watching the bidens. they are greeting the trumps and having this moment and i did think that the bidens behaved brilliantly and welcome home, welcome back, pretty generous considering everything that has gone on between the two families so i was surprised by that. but i do think that it was central to both of trumps candidacies and a lot of those he will put in positions of power specifically those that are in retribution and he proved out joe biden's point about the pardons when he got into the overflow room which was still full of pretty big deal folks like governors of the major

states and he starts going off on liz cheney, talking about january 6th again. and we know what he thinks of both the biden corruption family. we know what he thinks of the hunter biden pardon and joe biden wanted to make sure if i am leaving especially under these frosty conditions in a fight with basically everybody that i will protect those people that are closest to me. for whatever might come down their way over the course of the next four years. >> generally it's after someone has been sentenced or even done time. hunter, his brothers, his sister, her husband, for what. if i were one of them i would be saying wire you partying me, i didn't do anything wrong. >> a few others said the same thing. >> it sets a new precedent because who will be in office and say i might as well cover everybody. >> i don't think with trump precedent matters. he will do whatever he wants to

do and joe biden was saying there are people coming in in massive positions of power who do not live by the same rules as the rest of us. i am not passing judgement myself whether i think it's a good idea but i was shocked by it and everybody that i know was. >> looking live at the capitol and you can see the flag at full staff and that was because it was signed and that means that on inauguration day it is up there and it was at half-staff because of the funeral of jimmy carter, 30 days but on this day it flies at full staff. bringing you back into this conversation as we are talking about the pardons and other thoughts of the day as we are digesting all that is happening. >> i think the pardons were a big story today and i think waiting till about 11:45 before issuing these final ones was in part to avoid them becoming of the big story of the day but there is no getting around it.

this is extraordinary. and the president can protest he would about how he's afraid of retribution from donald trump but in the end people will look at those pardons and say, there must be something wrong or illegal that they are afraid of or he wouldn't have pardoned all these people and i think it is hard to analyse this one we can't see any prosecution so we will probably never know whether there could have been any but it shows you how deeply divided the country is, how so badly divided that as an outgoing administration leaves its leaders think that those who are part of their cause or their side or went along with it might be prosecuted. that is a bad place for a country to be in and let's hope this doesn't have to happen again.

>> president trump said on the campaign trail that success will be my retribution. that is what he said. do you have a feeling about how he thinks of it and what we will see in the early days of this administration? >> you can tell from the remarks you heard him make at great length after his speech that he hasn't forgotten the things that he felt hurt him or were unfair to him and he probably never will. the question that arises is how much is he willing to do to try to get back at the people who he thinks wrong to him. in some places he was perhaps correct in thinking that. many cases perhaps. but the question is whether that drags the presidency down or if it makes for further division or whether it amps up the resistance to him and to his program or whether those things are better left to the side and his energies spent and those of

his administration on the program as he has a big late, he is made some witty break promises, some of them he can call pushed by executive order and some congress will pass and some will be difficult to pass. and he will be judged on how well he did that. he won't be judge probably very much on how well he got back at his enemies. >> all right. thank you. >> let's go down to the capital one arena which is where the action, where the action will move as we head towards the arrival and the parade which will be happening inside today and bill is there watching as the crowd gets excited. he is like waldo. high. >> right on. good afternoon again. we made a quick jaunt from the capital. on a normal day you get here in a few minutes but it takes a little longer on a day like today. dan, long time trump advisor just wrapped up his remarks about three or 4 minutes in length and before that we heard

from elon musk and then glenn, the virginia governor. it is my understanding that if you are scheduled to speak and things are a bit out of order but if you were in the arena, you will be next in the line but i was speaking with my colleague a moment ago and she was looking at the list and the run down and it looked like he have been the last person before number 47 comes in i should say. he would be the last person so we are waiting to see how this unfolds. as you guy guys know, there is ad-libbing to make up for the weather and adjustments made from going outside to inside and this is another part of that. the parade that would normally be going down pennsylvania avenue to the white house, it ain't happening. they were taking down the fences all weekend long. for the high schools and colleges that came all over the country waiting for their big moment in washington,

unfortunately for them that will not happen here in the nation's capital. how they conduct this parade, remains to be seen. i was told there would be a garbage truck here, maybe there is, i have not seen it. we will have a look around in a short time here but this would be the ultimate teas in television. stay tuned because we are not quite exactly sure how this is going to develop ear. the arena is fact, 20,000 strong with everyone in their seats. they are jacked up to welcome now the 47th president here in washington, d.c.,. >> it's amazing how capital one arena has become the centre of the political universe. you have the owners of the capitals and the wizards, and their team who stepped up right away. they offered the rally on saturday and then when the weather turned they offered this venue today so that is a big

deal. the teas of both the garbage truck. that is also keeping people tuned in. >> if it helps maybe we will get the supersized from mcdonald's. you would be 2 for 2 for some of the biggest moments. listen, we will find out together. as they say, and inauguration like none other. the inaugurations i've been to, you can really remember these intimate images and moments. you can never forget them. i guess you will have to add this to the list five or ten years from now and say remember when... that is one of those days today for sure. >> martha: thank you. we will be back to the arena and a little while. >> more coverage from the inauguration of donald trump, the 47th president on the united states on fox after a

quick break. >> we will dream boldly and nothing will stand in our way because we are americans. the future is ours. and our golden age has just begun.

>> each day under our administration of american patriots we will be working to

meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. we will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race, religion, colour and creed. for american citizens, january 20th, 2025, is liberation day. [applause] >> liberation day. articulating that very well. back with the panel now. kelly-anne, we talked earlier with britt about this phoenix from the ashes politically and how we've talked about his political career from january 6th 2021 where no one thought never that he would be in politics again. to this. and all that we saw through that election. it's hard to put your head around it. 2 assassination attempts, 2 candidates he was running against, it's a lot. >> and also the midterms.

he was overly unfairly blamed for all those midterm losses. they had a few turkeys on the republican side but then he fast-forward to 2024 and he is the one winning all seven swing states even though four of those, arizona, nevada, michigan and wisconsin, three come up short so even his power at the ballot box by five or six points in arizona this time was not enough to pull them over. the question moving forward, not just a political electoral question but a governing question. can the trump magic succeed trump? not a conversation about 2020 but the moment the political capital and goodwill at this moment to cash it in and get some big things done. i thought the big majority in 2017 we started with was distorted. it made you think you could get a lot done any at all it did was create so many factions because people thought that was the system. won't vote for infrastructure or to repeal obamacare, x, y, z.

the slim majority and the speaker winning by a squeaker a few weeks ago actually shows you all you need to know about president from being able to get in there and get things done quickly. susie the incoming chief of staff said in a recent interview she doesn't by into the first 100 days. she thinks the ark in the timeline is between inauguration day and the midterms roughly 18 months. i think that is a better way of framing this because things do take long. confirmations take long and executive orders are great and legislation is hard. >> charlie, when you look at the expectation. people are talking about the optimism, the president talked about it in his address today, and the pace of it. i spoke with the senate majority leader the other day and i asked him if he believed that people would have that much patients with the laborious methods of the senate? they could, if they were motivated to, they could approve

a number of these cabinet members, they could do it in a group so is that going to happen, should that be happening? >> i imagine we will have a little bit more debate over some of the nominees but i have been shocked by how smoothly these confirmation hearings have gone. and i think one reason is exactly what kelly-anne was talking about. some of these democrats who won in states that trump won are in a real pickle because they won either by embracing donald trump and his policies or at the very least by embracing his policies and of donald trump is going to continue the campaign and talk about these issues. you had alyssa grilling nominees about the northern border. suddenly you are concerned about immigration? democrats have not cared about

immigration in years, for four years they have looked the other way and so i think if you can focus on these issues and set the nasty rhetoric of donald trump aside and talk about these things i think suddenly you can have a conversation. you can have a senate and a house that is a lot more productive because they are afraid to be on the wrong side of these issues that people care about. >> that is why they got the laken riley bill passed. ten of those senators in trump states. >> looking at president biden and vice president harris as trump delivered that speech. who is the leader of the democratic party? who is it? obviously they don't look like -- president biden is leaving the stage but vice president harris doesn't look like she is in a position to be that, who is it? >> her future is uncertain whether she runs for governor of california. goes into private life in some way or find something else.

right now hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer but there are a lot of senators who are not contempt with chuck schumer's leadership of the caucus. hakeem jeffries is universally well-liked and they feel like he fights for their priorities so people are looking around and this is a great opportunity for people to be a one-man or one-woman dance and to get out and define themselves as a solo brand if that is what has to happen. >> but the battle for the soul of the democratic party is happening now. >> it is wide open and we will see that into the midterms and in 2281 i didn't enjoy a stage with 20 people on it but you might get something that looks like that again. where people w will get up there and divide for different approaches to making policy, different approaches to dealing with the republican party and i want to double tap on what kelly-anne was saying about the

trump magic. there is a fisher within the democratic party as to people who think rightly so we did decently in the senate, it could have been way worse. we could have lost a lot of close races. the host majority for a few months it will be the slimmest since 1917 so people say it is not that bad let's carry on this track and donald trump is a phenomenon. j.d. vance, we will see what he goes into but in 2028 they will not have someone i don't think at least on the radar who appeals to the demographics that he picked up, young, latino men in the same way let's say and the people who say burned it all down. we were sent a message that you pretend like you are the party of the working class. and we are now the party of elizabeth who i am part of that category. white, college educated but that is not a way to win national elections in the same way that we used to and it's also a betrayal of the foundations of the party and we will keep going at each other about that. over the next two years too.

>> one thing i go back to is the pulling we did that show that people wanted complete overhaul or substantial change and that is what these folks were all elected to deliver and so those black voters and latino and young voters are watching to see if they get what they moved across for and i think that will be a big issue. >> you chuckled at vice president harris in the future. >> everyone saw you chuckle. [laughter] >> i just wanted to pointed out. >> what is so funny? [laughter] >> look. i do think that if we are taking lessons from history and we should, the best thing is for jessica to lead an autopsy for the democratic party right now and the democratic party should do the opposite of whatever the autopsy finds because that is what worked for the republican party. in 2012 they did an autopsy with all these recommendations about moving away from the immigration issue, focusing on a completely

different demographic after the romney loss that surprise so may republicans in 2012 and then donald trump came along and basically for every bullet point that they recommended virtually did the opposite thing and it worked. and so one of the things that parties get into their heads too much about is should we do these little moves in one way or another? should we twist the dial a little further here and pull this leveler or that kind of thing? when may be what you need to do is double down in some areas or have total change in the other about what you're trying to do and when it comes to winning the type of voters that you just mentioned i think that dramatic change is what needs to happen. if you take a governor like westmore you can see the potential for him going on some of these podcasts that donald trump went on and having great success but at the same time -- >> what would the message be? >> that is the problem you have. >> my voters love me, we rebuilt

the bridge, i am very confident and fun. >> he is one of the few democrats that i know to go on sports talk radio and go on barstow and have a conversation and it would feel natural as oppose to another but he has to have a agenda behind it. >> we will see. >> brooke taylor is in el paso, texas, talking about the border, let's check in with brooke. good afternoon. >> we are at the border right now in el paso, president trump throughout his campaign spoke about families and victims like 12-year-old jocelyn who you may remember, especially our viewers. a 12-year-old from houston and she was sexually assaulted. she was brutally murdered. authorities say that her killers are 2 illegals from venezuela who cross the border so president trump from the start has said that his top priority is protecting innocent lives

from criminals who shouldn't be in the united states to begin with. and that is exactly what he said during his inauguration speech that he is going to secure this border. we just got back from a border watch party, a few minutes from where we are at the border. we spoke to many people at this town and this border town they tell us that immigration has been top of mind for them. they are excited to hear that thethey will and catch and relee programs. one bringing in more than 900,000 migrants into the united states essentially this fast pass to get over here and there has been serious concerns about the vetting process. if you go to the app which i checked out a little while ago. i think we have a screenshot of that. is no longer exists and won't allow anyone to book an appointment and in mexico we know there are thousands of people still waiting for those

appointments. we have video of many migrants crying after they learned that trump ended this program and this program relied on migrants to really self give information. it would rely on them to give their own name, their address and that is when the vetting process really came into play with a lot of questions about how exactly this app works so the people we spoke to were happy to find out that this app no longer exists. since we've been here in el paso i've been talking to a lot of border patrol agents to get the feel and they are hesitant to speak on camera just now as we deal with this transition but i could tell just from talking to agents that the morale is high right now. these agents are excited and ready to get back to work and really implement these new policies for the last four years they tell me they have really just felt handcuffed. >> beautiful.

>> thank you, broke. >> we are taking a break. this is what happens in the fifth hour. >> a long day. >> we will take a quick break and we will be right back. >> america will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest most powerful most respected nation on earth inspiring the all and admiration of the entire world.

♪ ♪ >> president donald trump: of both all my message to americans today is it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigour and the vitality of history's greatest civilization. as we liberate our nation we will lead it to new heights of victory and success. we will not be deterred. >> president trump and the inauguration speech today sworn in at 12:01 p.m. we have a new panel with us. mark thiessen, marie, kevin o'leary, sandra smith, mr. wonderful. what does this mean, the second after a new president, is there something tangibly that we will see or feel. >> i love the idea of giant economic union in north america to fend off china. that is basically a theme. what i love about trump, very

bombastic. there is the noise and then the signals i like to say. the signal when he threw that idea of buying canada out there obviously hit with a big wall of concern where canadians don't want to give up sovereignty but then he started telegraphing this idea of an economic union. the power of all those resources and energy and combined in one economic joint deal, so to speak. and then protecting the northern border and all of a sudden the polling in canada one from 13% to now this week 43%. tell me more. what other ideas? is there a common currency? what about trade without any tariffs? what about the idea of a passport, the saving they have in europe. so that each country could veto an immigrant coming in. lots of interesting ideas being floated around. we are in a new era of a dangerous world where economy is

power. self-sufficiency of resources is power. energy is power in the sense that you don't want to buy from anyone else and so here today, i like to watch. i noticed danielle smith, the premier of alberta here at the inauguration, she sells for an a half million dollars per day and she wants to go to eight and that is music to trump's ears because she is the only partner he needs to get that pipeline done. there she was. that is what these inaugurations are about. the business has started at 12:05. we are in a new interesting dynamic. i hope that trump will delay the tariffs at least on the canadians until they have a chance to elect their leader. they are in the same cycle we went through here in america, giant red wave sweeping through giving someone new a four-year

mandate just like trump has and then negotiations can begin. right now it is leaderless. whatever you want to call it so i think he has thought about that and said maybe we slow down and let them get their act together and we will get at it. >> i want to ask you about the tiktok purchase. [laughter] >> i live and breathe tiktok. >> where does it stand and you put a 20 billion-dollar offer on the table and how was that received? >> what we've learned, this is very interesting and i don't yet know if this is the case with public companies but every company in china has to issue what is called a secret golden share to the cpp specifically the supreme leader. that is a full option on all the others shares so you can't get a deal done until he decides whether you can buy it or not. the executive don't matter. >> that tells you a lot rate there, doesn't it.

>> the only person we can negotiate with his him. it is really trump steel now to work out with him. however, we have the laws in place here that we have to abide by so no one will be buying tiktok until he decides as the holder of this secret golden share what he will do and by the way if these are issued to public companies trading on the nasdaq and on the new york stock exchange and aren't disclosed then i think there will be some big problems because i know, i saw the post from lindsey graham saying what is this shared deal? i will bring a bill. i don't know if you saw that. it came out yesterday and caught my eye. >> looking live at the congressional launch getting ready to make some speeches there. this is steve, let's take a listen. >> one president trump spoke over in the beautiful rotunda, wonderful that it was indoors,

mr. president because i don't think the crowd would have wanted to be in the 20s or below but one of the things president trump said that i thought is the most touching, he said, in america, the impossible is what we do best. and i think that epitomizes the spirit when you think about this room. this statutory hall any look at some of the statues, thomas edison. he did the impossible. elon musk, i'm not sure if he is still here but he does some of those things himself. but you look at somebody like rosa parks and she did something that many would have said can be done with just a simple gesture of saying i'm not going to sit at the back of the bus. and so the impossible is what we do in america. and president trump said something else, he said, our golden age has just begun. americas ready for another

golden age. mr. president, we present to you these flags that were flown over the united states capitol at full mast in honour of being sworn in as president of the united states. [applause] >> thank you chairwoman for your leadership of today's ceremonies. president trump, and first lady, congratulations. of the honour of providing the vice president with our high assemble, the american flag. as the united states marine, vice president put on the uniform to protect and serve america. like so many men and women before him in our nation's history, old glory was adopted by the second continental congress in 1777.

a full 12 years before the office of the vice presidency was even created. or the house of representatives convened for the first time. the resolution said the flag would be 13 stars, white in a blue field. representing a new constellation. out of many, one. some 250 years later from appalachia to anacostia, middletown, to maralago, the value to brooklyn, we remain one nation under god. to vice president vance, and family, may god bless and watch over you as you begin this journey. on behalf of the congress we present one of the flags that flew above the capital today, to

the 50th vice president of the united states of america, james david vance and we wish you godspeed. [applause] >> thank you. i now asked my friend senator of nebraska as in the beef you have for the entree that has been an excellent partner in planning today's events to come up and present the inaugural photographs. >> my thanks to the chair for putting together and putting together again in the last two days the 60th inaugural ceremony here at the united states capitol. amy did a wonderful job along with all of the committee, all of our staff in order for this to come together and be a very

memorable experience. it is a tradition that the committee give our new president and first lady, our vice president and misses vance the official photographs taken at the swearing-in ceremony and so it is such an honour to be able to have those presented to you, i hope you will display them with pride, with honour and with a humbleness that i know you will carry with you every single day that you serve the people of this country. may god bless you all. [applause] >> thank you senator fischer. on behalf of the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies i'd like to present the president and misses trump and the vice president and misses vance with these crystal

phases. you can see them over here for the tenth consecutive inauguration glenn x has provided the official inaugural gift, the hand cut etched bases displaying the white house for the president and the u.s. capital for the vice president because i know that he is going to enjoy not only being the vice president but also, the president of the united states senate and no better job than that. these gifts symbolize are equal branches of government as well as our enduring democracy. there they are.

[applause] >> mr. president, madame first lady, congratulations. it is an honour for all of us to be able to be here today with you on this historic day as we celebrate your inauguration. mr. president, one of the most important influences in my life when i was getting started in politics was ronald reagan.

his philosophy of limited government, his belief in peace, strength, the strength of his convictions. all things that appeal to me but i was also drawn by his optimism and by his belief in america. mr. president, those are qualities i seen you. one of the things that resonated throughout your campaign was the unshakable belief in our country and in her citizens. you remind us of everything that is possible in america. i am looking forward to working with you over the next four years to build up our great country. it says in the scriptures that if you ask for wisdom it will be given to you and given to you generously. so i pray and our prayer is that god will richly bless you in the years ahead and grant you not only strength but wisdom. and ladies and gentlemen, i ask you to join me in raising a

glass to the president of the united states, president donald trump. hear, hear. >> so this has been a long day with many other things ahead for so many of you. but i want to thank you for attending the 60th inaugural ceremonies and as we close we ask that you pick up a gift. all of our guests will get a set of commemorative glasses and embossed leather featuring the great seal of the united states which senator fischer and i selected together and maybe senator mcconnell added urban from kentucky. just saying. it is now my privilege to conclude this luncheon by asking

margaret, the chaplain for the house of representatives to deliver the benediction. thank you. we know we love this eagle podium. it is pretty good, mr. president . >> ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the benediction. >> would you pray with me. holy and merciful god, having witnessed another successful moment in the experiment that you have entrusted into the hands of the american people, we player blessing on our 47th president of these united states, donald j. trump and vice president james d vance. ensure that this singular responsibility you have laid upon our president's shoulders remain secure and your will and safeguarded in your keeping. uphold him as he preserves,

protects and defends the constitution to the best of his abilities relying on your divine help. a lot of power and might, grace and mercy, grant that your spirit of council has access to the president's hard to search it, to his mind, to examine it and to his will, to test it. to his faithfulness and it would bear witness to your truth. surround him with angels and advisors who will serve as your agents to guide and guard him, caution and encourage him to remain upright and blameless in your sight. buckle the belt of truth around his waste. place the breastplate of righteousness over his heart. fit his feet with readiness that you are gospel of wisdom and justice will shine forth through president throughout his administration and we offer this prayer to the one whose voice we follow to guide all that we do done all that we hope for. amen.

>> ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. please remain at your seats as president trump, vice president vance, the joint congressional committee on inaugural ceremonies and the official party depart national statuary hall. >> the congressional luncheon wrapping up you see president trump and vice president vance, everyone gets a gift, a wonderful thing. >> and some bourbon from kentucky it sounds like. >> kevin o'leary said there is a branding opportunity here that they missed but correspondent chad on capitol hill about the next steps. we have a review of the troops up there in emancipation hall. >> emancipation hall which is where i'm standing right now was part of the capital visitor centre, an extension of the capital where president trump came and spoke to some of his supporters, the overflow crowd earlier and i looked behind me and there are all sorts of

military troops. you have seen off and on all day so this will be his first act as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, to come and review them in emancipation hall. they converted emancipation hall for the ceremony, never used before because they always used the west run of the capital, talking about using the capital more often for these ceremonies in the future maybe this is an opportunity to use other parts of the capital. if you were to come in, coming in for a tour where you would walk around and come in any day, you can come in and get a tour. all the statues from the different states, two from every state, some in a statuary hall which is where the luncheon was just held and many are down here, you will see you could walk by some of the new ones they put up in just the past couple of years, johnny cash is probably the newest statue here in statuary hall who is right

next to farnsworth who some people believe is the inventor of television. that statues from utah holding one of these vacuum tubes over here to my right but if you go down a level below me this is where all the crowds usually come in to get a tour, the house aside is over here, the senicide over here and you go up into the capital and tour and they also have down below a mock version of the capital that you can look at to see how things have gone very quiet here so we think may be the new president is going to come into emancipation hall and review the troops. >> child, what was the tv guide? >> philo farnsworth. >> thank you. >> from utah. [laughter] >> child is our resident historian and knows all things capitol hill. thank you. we will head back when that military review takes place. back with our panel, mark

thiessen, we digested that speech with britt and others from your speechwriter point of view take us down what you thought? >> i thought it was a great speech in a lot of ways. more like a state of the union in some places than it was an inaugural address. he sacrificed martha: some ways. it is sort of interesting how this inaugural is different from it years ago. it years ago there were riots, 200 people arrested in

>> let's put aside our differences and focus on what we agree on. today a lot of democrats are saying that. i think they now have to accept they did not accept that trump was president eight years ago. they now accept they have no choice but to accept because he just stage the greatest political comeback in american history. >> when he was elected last time he had never held office before. i think there was a bit of a shock and his reaction when he faced all of this resistance and it never stopped. really from the time he declared he was going to run and even then people thought that this will fizzle out, donald trump will not really be the nominee. so this time around four years later what happened to the resistance? >> i will say eight years ago i was at the women's march out there with all of those hundreds

of thousands of resistors. i think what you were seeing from democrats as the cold, hard reality that trump was not an aberration. he was not just a flash in the pan after eight years of obama. in order to resist what many in my party feel are incredibly bad things he will try to do we have to focus on those and not try to resist everything. i have a lot of friends, members of congress, staffers on capitol hill, who say last time any time he did everything -- anything every little time we overreacted. we spent hours and weeks and months trying to get a tax return for example and did that really matter? i think democrats are trying to figure out how they are able to work with the trump administration and the things that he tries to do that are so antithetical to what we believe is a party, that is where we have to throw a lot of our attention. and look, today you will see marco rubio confirmed as secretary of state and i think a

number of democratic senators supporting that. i think there are other democratic number -- nominees that will get democratic support. it is not just john fetterman. there are democrats who believe, deeply, that some of the things he said really spoke to the american people in a way we have not been able to. how can we work with him and maybe win some of them back? in two years in the midterms? this is the best if his presidency. he cannot run again. tomorrow he will face a divided republican party about how to move forward in congress and on things like tiktok. in two years there is a midterm election. i think democrats are starting to think about that and how can we maybe win back some of the the trump voters by working with him where he we can and opposing came where we believe it is absolutely vital to the country. >> i was just going to say there is a lot of things that will happen out together. like look at the
