winds sent them airborne. they fell out, plummeting 20 feet to the ground. how do you stop it from happening with your kids inside? wayne robinson is the manager of jump around party rentals. if i didn't see the videos for myself, i wouldn't believe that something this massive and what appears to be sturdy can go flying into the air from some wind, but they do. why do they go flying? >> they're not secured. as soon as the wind hits it, this flies away. >> reporter: the wind hits and takes it. >> yes. >> reporter: when you rent a bouncer, the company should set it up for you. but if they just leave the stakes, you have to do it. wore in the season where a lot of us are renting these for the kids. >> you check for every one of these. make sure the stakes are inside on an angle. >> one here. >> if you don't see them here, there is a sign that shows how many you need. this unit right here, needs eight stakes. >> reporter: you can't miss.

this is an nbc news special report. here's savannah guthrie. >> and good morning. we're watching the white house, the rose garden where in just a few moments neil gorsuch will be sworn in as justice of the supreme court. president trump walking out right now. justice divorce ch behind him having already received the first oath of office at the supreme court this morning. now as we see them approach the podi podium, we'll hear from the president, from associate justice neil gorsuch as well as the swearing in. let's take a listen. >> thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much. friends and distinguished guests, welcome to the white house. we are gathered here today for a truly momentous occasion in our

democracy. the swearing in of a united states supreme court justice. in particular, i'm greatly honored to welcome to these grounds every sitting justice of the united states supreme court. welcome. thank you. assistant chief justice and juses, it's historic to have you join us here on this historic day. spring is the backdrop because we're in the prowess is of reviewing and renewing and also rebuilding our country. a new optimism is sweeping

across our land and a new faith in america is filling our hearts and lifting our sights. i would also like to recognize senator cory gardner, mike lee. where is mike? he's around here some place. thank you. and mike crabil. thank you for all of your work. thank you. and although he could not be here today, i especially want to express our gratitude to senator mitch mcconnell for all that he did to make this achievement possible. so thank you, mitch. i'd also like to give my appreciation to chairman grassley for conducting such a fair and professional confirmation. senator grassley.

where is senator grassley? thank you. thank you. thank you, senator. finally a profound thank you to louise gorsuch and to all of the gorsuch family, thank you. and louise, i've heard it first hand, i know what a total inspiration you are to your husband and to your entire family. so thank you very much. fantastic. thank you very much. we are here to celebrate history. the taking of the judicial oath by the newest member of the united states supreme court, neil gorsuch. justice gorsuch, i just want to congratulate you and your entire

family. it's something so special. in fact, i've always heard that the most important thing that a president of the united states does is appoint people, hopefully great people like this appointment, to the united states supreme court. and i can say this is a great honor. and i got it done in the first 100 days. that's even nice. you think that's easy. this ceremony has special meaning as justice gorsuch is filling the seat of one of the greatest supreme court judges in american history, and that's antonin scalia who was a terrific judge and a terrific person. justice scalia was a patriot who revered or constitution. he was beloved by many, very

many who are here today. and he is deeply missed by all of us. i want to, at this time, recognize his incredible wife maureen, who i got to know very well over the last short period of time. and maureen, please stand up. thank you very much. thank you and your family. thank you. thank you, maureen. americans are blessed to have in neil gorsuch a man who will likewise be a devoted servant of the law. over the past two months the person people have gotten to know, respect and truly admire our newest member of the united states supreme court. in justice gorsuch, they see a man of great and unquestioned integrity. they see a man of unmatched qualifications and most of all

and most importantly, they see a man who is deeply faithful to the constitution of the united states. he will decide cases based not on his personal preferences but based on a fair and objective reading of the law. today we have all three branches of government represented at this event. it is a very special thing and a very special happening and it's worth taking just a minute to remember what it all means. in our founders' incredible wisdom, they gave each branch of government a different role in our great republic. we have a congress to write the laws on behalf of the people, we have a president to enforce those laws and defend our nation. and we have a supreme court to

apply and interpret the law in a fair and impartial manner when disagreements arise. the founders separated power because they knew it was the best way to protect our citizens and keep our constitution secure. justice gorsuch, you are now entrusted with the sacred duty of defending our constitution. our country is counting on you to be wise, impartial and fair. you serve under our laws, not over them, and to safeguard the right of the people to govern their own affairs. i have no doubt you will rise to the occasion and that the decisions you will make will not only protect our constitution today but for many generations

of americans to come. in just a moment justice gorsuch will be sworn in by justice kennedy, a great man of outstanding accomplishment. throughout his nearly 30 years on the supreme court, justice kennedy has been praised by all for his dedicated and dignified service. we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. and i am honored that he is with us today. this is a very, very special moment because many years ago a young neil gorsuch started his legal career as a law clerk to justice kennedy. you remember that, right? it is a fitting testament to justice kennedy's impact that

upon giving the oath to justice gorsuch he will become the first ever supreme court justice to serve with one of his former law clerks. that's sort of a big deal, isn't it? i sort of like that. that's sort of good. it has never happened before. that's pretty good. also shows you have a lot of respect for this man. very good. we're thrilled to share this historic moment with justice kennedy, with all of you here today and with all americans watching us at home. justice gorsuch, i again congratulate you and your entire family and i wish god's blessings on your amazing journey ahead. i have no doubt you will go down

as one of the truly great justices in the history of the united states supreme court. i now invite justice kennedy to say a few words. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. president. mr. chief justice, justice gorsuch and my fellow adherence to the idea and the reality of the rule of law. as many of you know, there are two oaths that a member of the federal judiciary must take. the first is the constitutional oath that so many of you are familiar with it. applies to all three branches of the government. the second oath is one that applies just to federal judges. both of the oaths date from the founding of the republic, the

yjuju additional dates 1979. and both of these oaths remind us that we as a people are bound together, we as a people find our self definition, our respect, our heritage and destiny in the constitution. and so, justice gorsuch, there is one oath remaining for you to take, the judicial oath, before you may receive and accept your commission from the president of the united states. are you ready, justice gorsuch, to take the oath? are you ready to take the oath, justice gorsuch? please raise your right hand and

repeat after me. i nooem m. gorsuch do solemnly swear that i will administer justice without respect to person. >> that i'll administer justice without respect to persons. >> and do equal right to the poor and the to the rich. >> and do equal right to the poor and the rich. >> and that i will faithfully and imimportion nalty perform all of the duties upon me as a associate justice of the supreme court of the united states. >> as a associate justice of the supreme court of the united states. >> under the contusions and law of the united states. >> under the contusion and laws of the united states. >> so help me god. >> so help me god. >> congratulations.

[ applause ] >> i see before me so many to whom i owe so much. i know i would not be here today without your friendship and support. thank you all. from the bottom of my heart. i want to thank the president for nominating me. and for the great confidence and trust he's reposed in me.

i want to thank the vice president for his constant encouragement and friendship throughout this process. it's not possible to mention here everyone i should mention, but i'd be remiss if i didn't thank the president's council, don mcgann and the vice president's council and every single person in the white house council's office for their tremendous and tireless support. i want to thank kelly ayotte and my day-to-day team for their humor, for their sage advice, for their faith as we spent months and so many miles trooping together through the senate complex. i want to thank every single person, and there are so many, in the white house and the department of justice who worked through so many late nights and long weeks on my behalf.

i want to thank senator mcconnell and senator grassley and their excellent teams for their support and leadership and i must thank any former law clerks and my dear friend who gave so selflessly through these last three months. you can deare dear to me. this is truly your doing and this is your day. i wish i could mention each of you by name, but you know who you are and you know your names are etched in my heart forever. this process has reminded me just how outrageously blessed i am in my law clerks, my family and friends and i hope that i may continue to rely on each of you as i face this new challenge. my former colleagues and the wonderful sfaf of the 10th circuit, i thank you for your

faithful service and friendship over so many years and to my new colleagues and the staff of the supreme court, i thank you for the very warm welcome. i look forward to many happy years together. and i cannot tell you how honored i am to have here today, my mentor, justice kennedy, administer the judicial oath, a beautiful oath, as he did for me 11 years ago when i became a circuit judge. to the scalia family, i won't ever forget that the seat i inherit today is that of a very very great man. to my wife louise and my daughters emma and bindy, thank you for your perseverance, your patience, your courage and your love. i simply could not have attempted this without you. to the american people, i am

humbled by the trust placed in my today. i will never forget that to whom much is given, much will be expected. and i promise you that i will do all my powers permit to be a faithful service of the constitution and laws of this great nation. thank you. >> we've been watching the swearing in of the next justice of the supreme court, neil gorsuch. of course was a federal judge for the last 1 is years. and earlier in his career clerked for justice anthony kennedy who administered the oath a few moments ago. let's go to pete williams, outside the court, where the first oath was taken this morning. he's ready to hit the ground running. there's already work for this judge to do. >> reporter: he doesn't have much choice. his first official duty will be friday when the justices meet in

their closed door congress to decide what case to take next. there's several on which he could cast a decisive vote. there's one that's been bouncing around for weeks, a test of whether businesses can refuse to provide their services for same-sex weddings if they have ljs objectio religious objections. another case whether the second administration provides the right to have a gun outside of the home. it was in 2008 when the supreme court said the second amendment provides for to have a gun inside the home for self-defense. and then the supreme court comes into the courtroom next week for the final 13 cases of this term and the big one there is a religious freedom case. it comes from missouri. a challenge to laws in about half the states that say that state money cannot be given directly or indirectly to churches. now a lutheran church in missouri applied for money under a state program to resurface its playgrounds. the state said no, you can't

have the money. the challengers said no there's discrimination when other nonprofits would get the gun. he can't vote on the cases that were argued before he got here but he will hit the ground running. >> absolutely. let's go over to the white house where peter alexander is standing by. we should mention the newest justice neil gorsuch, 49 years old. could potentially spend decades on the court. this is one of the momentous choices that a president can make. >> reporter: you're right. i spoke to a top conservative here today that said this is perhaps the most important decision the president will make. a supreme court justice makes longer than any other pick he will make. and politically it's his biggest tr triumph so far. finally the president has something to hang his hat on, even skbroeked in the remarks saying i got it done within 100

day ps. conservatives tell me this in effect binds the president's coalition. it succeeds in doing something here as president that he promised as a candidate he would accomplish. it's notable that president trump said he may have this opportunity many or times. notably three of the eight justices who are presently on the bench right now are 78 years of age or older. it's unclear whether or not president trump may have another opportunity to try to sway the court into a more conservative bank. >> peter alexander at the white house. of course you can continue to watch coverage on msnbc and nbc.com. a full wrap-up tonight on nbc nightly news with lester holt. we'll return most of you to >> absolutely. do it and you will feel it. sit in a suka and you will feel fragility. light a hanukkah menorah and you will feel community.

light candles. >> reporter: what did you feel? >> you look at light and say, what does it mean to have a heritage, a family, an zeancest. those things come quickly when you do something as simple as lighting candle sticks. >> reporter: passover is this week. you set a nice table for all of us. and part of passover talks about slavery, obviously, and the jews being free. but it's also inner slavery and looking at what keeps you back. >> so many rabbis said what you did. it's not just the larger idea of slavery. it is our personal -- what we are enslaved to. i'm enslaved to my devices. enslaved to my e-mail. and i would like to free myself of that obligation because i think sometimes i'm missing the moments. ♪ family, is everything. and holiday after holiday, brings the family together. and reminds you of that. the fact that my father-in-law was dying when i was writing this, and the fact my son was

going to college for the first time was not going to live under my roof anymore. >> reporter: it was hard. >> these are things where the holiday meets you, right where you are. whatever is happening. we aren't necessarily guaranteed another moment. and so, make sure that the one that you're in is as powerful and meaningful and love-filled as you can make it. >> all right. it's so interesting. she found all of this faith that she didn't know was there. and it helped her cope with this hard time in her life. >> i think a lot of people in the times we're living in are searching for something. and that seems like a nice way to connect to that something. >> taken for granted and part of her heritage, in such an intentional way, looking forward to it. >> tomorrow, we're going to explore a new church in chicago, that is breaking boundaries with a new way to worship.
