karen pence did shake the hand of barack obama and several of the other former presidents and first ladies. it wasn't, though, all icy reception for trump. what appeared to look like a moment of bromance going viral. trump and obama seen having a lighthearted chat. at one point, he even got a laugh out of the 44th president. >> i didn't realize it how friendly it looked. i saw it on your wonderful network just a little while ago before i came in, and i said, boy, they look like two people that like each other. and we probably do. we have little different philosophies, right? but we probably do. i don't know, we just got along, but i got along with just about everybody our my panel is back. >> donald trump seems to really have enjoyed watching the video of his interaction with barack obama. a pretty remarkable. >> yeah. look, we would be better served as a country if we got this version of donald trump more often. and i think generally the idea that people who are on two different sides of the aisle can talk to each other and be civil, particularly at something like a funeral, should not be

barack obama sitting next to president trump.fice it to say something, you just don't see it is not a common occurrence. >> that is so much history. barack obama, a campaigning for the vice president, kamala harris. obviously she did not prevail. and now sitting next to donald trump, exchanging a smile, former president george w bush, former first lady laura bush. shaking the hands. and this, as jimmy carter probably would have liked, is somewhat cathartic for a country that the vast majority of people truly hunger for some sort of, you know, connection and way forward to try to erase some of these dividing lines. the bushes, barack obama, donald and melania trump. here we see former president bill clinton, former first lady hillary clinton, former secretary of state, obviously. his voice on the left in that back row, dan quayle shaking the hand of bill clinton a moment ago, al gore, who was obviously bill clinton's vice president. chapters of history, if you will, obviously, hillary clinton, having run against donald trump in 20

applause] >> it is my great personal honor to present the 44th president of the united states, barack obamapplause] [crowd chanting "obama!"] president obama: thank you. my fellow citizens, i stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. i thank president bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. forty-four americans have now taken the presidential oath. the words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. yet every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. at these moments, america has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears and true to our founding documents. so it has been, so it must be with this generation of americans. that we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of vio

barack obama, michelle not there today.nt-elect trump and melania and in front of him we have the president and first lady, the bidens, and kamala harris and her husband, doug emhoff. bret baier, as we await for the procession to get underway additional thoughts from you. >> bret: first of all, being in that cathedral is quite something. the cathedral choir with "the road home" opening the ceremony. you talk about steve ford, he will read what gerald ford wrote for this moment and ted mondale will read what vice president walter mondale wrote for this moment that is very powerful. you will hear voices from president ford and vice president mondale through their family members. and obviously a big moment for president biden delivering this eulogy. you know, we talked about humility for president carter. as the casket was coming in they played hail to the chief. at the beginning of president he said i don't want to hear hail to the chief. i don't want the pomp and circumstance but then at the end relented but at the beginning

but barack obama, nonetheless, attending this inaugural. michelle obama not there, as we have discussed in the immortal words, she would prefer not to attend. her absence from both the carter funeral and the inaugural is interesting. vivek ramaswamy who is -- was part of the department of government efficiency that donald trump -- >> i think he still is at this point. >> he is resigning from it and there is some talk of him running for governor of ohio. >> he's almost certainly going to be doing that. >> yeah, we're seeing several members of congress. i think most of them on the screen right now. >> brian mast, the incoming chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. combat veteran from florida. jim clyburn, who if it weren't for jim clyburn from south carolina, the dean of the south carolina delegation, i doubt joe biden would have been elected president to begin with. >> president biden spent the day with him yesterday in south carolina. >> you talked about the sort of tech leaders coming in and how now that it is inside, how precious

also making history, and we see the former president barack obama arriving now at capitol hill. the indoor swearing in ceremony and those executive orders that americans will begin to see roll out right there live on television is about to happen with barack obama arriving. i will toggle back and forth and tell you what is going on live. this day is making history despite the frigid landscape left by yesterday's winter storm. trump supporters are filling up the streets of washington to witness this historic day. a former minnesota news anchor i'm experiencing a lot of sunshine to couple those biting temperatures. trump's return to the white house, the first time in 132 years that a president will serve a non-consecutive second term. you might say we're living in a time of one of the biggest political comebacks in history. with me today ben domenech and spectator editor at large and molly hemingway fox news contributor and steve hilton is here, fox news contributor. some of you are braving the cold with me along with the people lining up anyway. those voters putting trump back in

barack obama has done the same thing. instead of coming to the center, this guy has gone far left and he's won. so if anybody thinks that hillary clinton is going to be moderated by bill clinton and come to the center and be a moderate, you're absolutely wrong. she is going to go over and help govern with bernie sanders, a socialist, elizabeth warren. this will be the team that will have in place running our country. and if you look at the socialist policies that bernie advocates for that, elizabeth advocates for and now hillary advocates for these don't offer upward mobility. they don't offer prosperity. they bring you despair, whether it's cuba or venezuela or argentina or southern european countries, they never grow economies. they destroy economies. and they want to come to us with a message and say, i've got more free stuff for you. i'm going to offer you more. conservatives will never offer more free stuff than liberals. we'll never do that. but what we will do is offer more opportunity. we will offer more upward mo

there's former president barack obama.trump and pence, but that exchange and that handshake. who knows where it leads or what it means, but there was a handshake. we all remember what happened in january of 2021. this is january of 2025. >> bob, interesting to see al gore, former vice president, right next to mike pence, two vice presidents who found some common drive despite party difference, having both presided over the certification of elections they lost. mike pence recently being quoted as talking about a conversation with al gore where al gore said i really respect you, and pence saying i drew on your example. >> and this an extraordinary moment as the president-elect sitting next to barack obama. >> you think about in 2016 during the transition these two men barack obama, donald trump, two presidents had a bit of a chilly exchange. everyone was bewildered in the democratic party by trump's selection. there's former president george w. bush. >> who did not shake trump's hand. and the first lady, former first lady la

i think that barack obama is one of the most misunderstood presidents in our history. it's for this very reason, that he comes on the scene and he says he will be a trailblazer in terms of being the first black president. he picks up on the energy of this notion of a new america, a post-racial america. he personifies a great hope. i mean, remember his poster, "hope," right? but once he's in office, he makes it very clear, "i'm not the black president. i'm the president. i'm not post-racial. i'm the president. stop looking at me in terms of my race." and his relationship to black america in that way then becomes kind of intriguing because it's almost as if he was saying, "i'm in a forest of people, a great american people, and i'm just one of them. don't look at me as different based on race. and i think a lot of people were sorely disappointed. you know, i remember the cover of "ebony magazine" said, you know, "in my lifetime." unbelievable. that same magazine then, seeing how he fails to respond to so many murders of young black people by police and all the rest, it s

a barack obama! re is one thing wt have learned even if presidentdh of the united states, one thing i will give obama credit for i love when he said his daughters had no interest whatsoever whatr boys they should take to the umendance. even if you are the president of the united states, you lose arguments to your kids and wifeh whicumh think human eyes as thee guys. >> laura: clay, greatht to seego you. thank you so much. a catfightg to on the hill goino war with pete hegseth. jimmy failla has that and more coming up. ♪ ♪ israel needs you. we desperately need tens of thousands to respond. the war is here. the great storm from the north has come against israel. you've got the scriptures calling each one of us, not only to pray for the peace in jerusalem, but every city throughout israel that's under siege. this massive grocery store should be crowded. people are lacking food. exactly. the international fellowship of christians and jews is preparing meals for precious elderly citizens who can't get out.

former president barack obama is confirmed. elle obama also just missed president jimmy carter's funeral which a lot of people are talking about that, too. this comes as president-elect donald trump announced tuesday he's going to create an external revenue office upon his return to the white house to collect all foreign source revenues such as tariffs, okay? he says for far too long we have relied on taxing our great people using the irs. through soft and pathetically weak trade agreements, the american economy has delivered growth and prosperity in the world while taxing ourselves. i think people at home are interested in hearing more about instead of ditching the irs how they are going to take tariffs from these other nations. back out here live the world economic forum is going to be going on davos. big tech names and finance guys won't be in davos. they will be here in palm beach like they have been trying to meet with trump and going to the inauguration. shows you a shift of world power there. back to you. >> brian: thanks

barack obama had a coherent philosophy as a citizen. i happen to agree much more with fdr and barack obama. but i've studied reagan for decades and had a coherent worldview and he was a lot more than a mere actor. and he was he did a brilliant job throughout his presidency of developing that worldview and. i will also say that he he has demonstrated to be right about the soviets. so you're right that domestic that doesn't work won't resonate very and very in the long term. and i i'm i can think a recent example of that, that i'm not going discuss here today. so with inaugural speeches is the push and pull within the like the rhetoric. who speaks to the audience like what does he have stay in line like inspiring and showing a clear path to the future? i guess just asking, where is the push and pull with these speeches? the seven characters of an inaugural are like a recipe where. those seven ingredients are really required and if you're missing and in gradient i'm very fond of making the dessert cranberry lay and without eggs and and and

series, historical inaugural speech is good this into speeches from frank and roosevelt through barack obamaaturday, hear from bill clinton in 1993. >> there is nothing wrong with america that cannot be cure it by what is right with america. >> president george w. bush in 2001. >> this is my solemn pledge, i will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity. >> and barack obama in 2009. >> the challenges we face are real, serious and many, they will not be met easily or in a short span of time, but they will be met. >> watch historic inaugural speeches saturday at 7:00 p.m. eastern on american history tv on c-span two. >> if you ever miss any of c-span's coverage, yan
