there are barricades and bleaches put up as we speak. there are metro stop and the street cornerrers. the concrete barriers that many of us are familiar with. many more. not just those locations but around interestingly the parking garages. they want to make sure the people can drive the vehicles inside the secure red zone. nevertheless there are many people coming to the capitol. they want to be here. they will be on alert but they are hoping for a good time here. >> this is a scary reality of how the world is now. i don't think we should stop living the way we do. coming from new york september 11. we always look over our shoulders. >> that is her first visit ever to washington, d.c. she says yes, i'll beaw

were proven to be wrong. so a little ground to stand on. he said they are irrelevant. and people also said he wouldn't win and he did regardless over the popular vote. that is what he and his supporters will say moving forward. it's irrelevant. let him get into office. for the inaugural address, peaceful transfer of power what are the three things to focus on to have a successful address? scott: this is my opinion if you look at the pillars that need to be evident. first is unity. we have heard from the advisers who have said yes, it is a theme throughout. there had to be some verbiage

there will be unification among the populous split in the last 18 months. talk about the loyalty. trump knows who got him here. he will thank them. we saw the thank you tour that took place after election day. he has to give speech for those he vowed to build on the election season and the campaign. and finally the future. so much is past and present. look at what we can accomplish together. a lot is to get rid of what obama has done. obamacare for example. but it has to be a tight speec

accomplished in the immediate future. jonathan: scott thuman at the capitol. thank you. michelle: getting around is tricky. metro is releasing smart trip passes at 50 c.v.s. stores. each costs $10. and will allow unlimited trip on the rail and the bus system. the card will only work on inauguration day. it will be down the parade avenue and we will have the best views from the ground and above overlooking the route from the rooftop of the canadian embassy.
