let's talk about it with former vice president dan quayle.ou. >> bret: 32 years ago, january n in, administer the oath of office by justice sandra day o'connor, president reagan looking on as you took the oath in front of the capital. here you are today. why did you feel compelled to come back to this event tomorrow? >> first of all, i think i've been to every inauguration since the jimmy carter inauguration in 1977 when i was a new member of congress. i also believe that somebody in my position really needs to show up to witness the transfer of power, the peaceful transfer of power. it's a magical moment, something that american history has proven to be able to see this over centuries. also, you know, i know joe biden fairly well. i stared with them in the senate. i think i've known him for 40 years. he is a good person. i wish him the very best. i hope i get to talk to him briefly although i don't know if i will or not. finally if there was any hesitation, i know there was a lot of hesitation with people such as myself, i think in the circu

dan quayle is a senator from the state of indiana. he is 41 years old, which mr.y sees as part of his appeal. he has the conservative credentials, which will please this convention. >> the beeper goes off and get back to the room and here, call this number. i call the number. it's jim baker, and i says, here, hang on for the veep. it is george bush. it's 2:00 now. 4:00, we're going introduce you. show up at spanish plaza. i say where in the heck is the spanish plaza? he said well, i don't really know, but this is your first assignment. don't screw it up. >> george bush clearly decided this was the day for the news. >> i knew he was very punctual, so i said i got to be there right at 4:00 so they can introduce me. i'm driving around. we get there at 20 to four. it's too early. ten minutes to four, i go to the spanish plaza and i get out of the car and i turn the corner to go down to where i'm supposed to be, and there is like 5,000 people. and i go oh, my gosh. how in the heck am i going to get through that crowd? >> quayle, a defense hard-liner, popular on the rep

dan quayle, a, a reminder we lost president george h.w. bush, but also, that was the last one-term presidency. george h.w. bush served one term. after that, two terms. donald trump leaving washington today after one term as president. it's a remarkable show of force, a bipartisan show of power here, an american tradition. but as jake was just talking about, an american tradition that was a question mark two weeks ago when that building was being attacked. many questioning what is happening. why would an american president send his supporters to attack a shrine of american democracy. today we can turn the page on that, wolf. >> after the former presidents are introduced, the chief justice, other members -- other justices of the u.s. supreme court will be introduced. and then significantly, john, the vice president of the united states, mike pence and karen pence, they will be introduced as well. missing in action, one donald trump. >> he has never respected the traditions and norms. the things, forgive me, that truly make america great. the

dan quayle, of course, his running mate no longer with us, president bush 41.'s congressman scalise. we should also mention the fact that scalise was able to walk on a day like today under his own power as a result of years of physical therapy. he was one of the victims of that shooting during the baseball practice game prior to the congressional baseball game, and he has had many, many subsequent surgeries and has devoted a good deal of his life to being ambulatory after getting grievously wounded that day. susan collins of maine. >> i'm still thinking of a point rachel made a couple minutes ago, takes my brain a minute to catch up sometimes, but we are going to be shaped for years by what happened two years ago and the elevation to deputy sergeant-at-arms is just one of the public-facing, i think, pieces of evidence of that fact, but every republican who voted to overturn the results of what chris krebs, the life-long republican, most senior election security official described as the most secure election in history did so after the insurrection. they did so

you interviewed former vice president dan quayle. that president trump's not there today at the inauguration. do you think he represented a lot of moderate republican opinion? >> i do and maybe others. i think there was a hunger for that all to come together and perhaps, you know, in retrospect we'll see if the president regrets that decision. we do know he left a letter in the resolute desk for president biden once he gets to the oval office as he received from president obama. we don't know what that letter said. the fact that he left one is different than his messages where he did not talk about joe biden in name. he did wish the administration though, president trump did, the incoming administration well and believes that he has left a country that in his words is more secure and better prepared on the military and economic front to take off. there you see hillary clinton and bill clinton, former president walking out. bill clinton will be part of a ceremony that will be ritual of former presidents including george w. bush and ba

as i say that, the former vice president dan quayle now getting his introduction.e of former presidents, dana, in the next 15 to 20 minutes on the steps of the capitol. i will say goodbye to you for now until this afternoon and then again back in new york tomorrow, dana. >> dana: it's been a pleasure. great job under the circumstances where it was so cold where you are. take care. see you soon. okay. we will continue here president-elect biden is expected to hit the ground running on his first day in office. he will sign 17 executive actions, sweeping immigration bill for congress. we'll talk about this with fox news contributor ari fleischer. as bill just said former presidents including the one you and i used to work for george w. bush is expected to be seen any moment now. the clintons will also be here and as i was just saying, president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama. what do you think about that comparison to obama's third term? can biden make this his own? >> in many wales -- ways it will be barack obama's third term. green new deal, medic

a speechwriter, i was always hesitant, and i can tell you my bosses, george bush, dick cheney, dan quayle there was always a sensitivity to saying something completely categorical such as this stops right here, right now. is that right? is this really true that something stops here and now? i think sometimes in politics there can be overpromising and overstating, and sometimes an -- sometimes in inaugural addresses, there are other examples of that. host: sarada, what are your thoughts and listening that speech? ms. peri: i had a similar reaction to john. making categorical assertions of anything is a dangerous move to make. i was struck by that phrase. our children are devoid of all knowledge. that is not something that anyone i've ever worked for would have allowed to be written. what it is showing is that his suggestion of american carnage was really just more prophecy and prediction that it was an accurate picture of what was happening at the time. he had just inherited a roaring economy from president obama i -- he was painting a false picture of what was happening. the phrase in par

of the party gets to choose often without consulting anybody else, consider sarah palin or even dan quayleout telling anybody else, this is my choice. that was not the case for most of american history. most american history, the presidents were told this is going to be your running mate. because the leaders of the party had the interest of the party at heart and they needed to balance the ticket geographically and by age and other things. the democrats told roosevelt in 1944, you got to get rid of your current vice president henry wallace. it was clear that franklin roosevelt was not in good health. there was a concern that roosevelt would die in office and leave henry wallace as president of the united states. and so they threatened mutiny at the 1944 convention. roosevelt says, all right, get that guy from kansas city. he had hardly met harry truman. so truman becomes president. says he's going to be this straight-talking guy. he did hold press conferences. this is another important part of the story. through the truman era, presidential press conferences, as they were called, were off-

so much attention as you put out and dan quayle put out goes to president trump's personality and quaker. over the next four years. over of the coming four years we will be talking about a lot what trumpism means. the direction of the republican party. that's going to focus back in on the ideas. i think we will have a lot of conversations about economic populism. about the forgot' man in capitollism. i think there is two main points that actually president trump hit on last night in his farewell address. he released a video where he talked about what he thought his administration stood for. and there is two main points that he really highlighted. one, is to be proud of who we are as americans. it is to remember we have values we should stand strong in support of. tonight be timid. freedom of speech and religion. we should be proud of history as americans. the other is that he represented an outsider. did he not come from a political background. here is what he had to say about that. >> four years ago i came to washington as the only true outsider ever to win the presidency. i had not spe

teddy kennedy and dan quayle conservative john mccain and liberal russ feingold. >> he goes out of officeil rights and social justice. the 19th amendment, the new deal the voting rights act. >> everybody stay down >> the sacred chambers where today's lawmakers were forced to shelter. >> watched as capitol police barricaded the doors with furniture and stood with guns drawn. it was incredibly traumatic. >> when abraham lincoln arrived for his first inaugural, a new grander dome was still being built. a poignant symbol of the unfinished work of a young nation that was about to be torn asunder. under the dome, frescos painted by a greek roman artist depicting our fledgling nation's founding, defeating the british, discovering the mississippi, with the words "we hold these words to be self-evident" from the declaration of independence. and of course, the site of countless political moments that countless journalists have covered. >> incumbents from both parties who took savings and loan monies are in trouble from both campaigns. >> america's first black officials didn't arrive until post-civi

spot, we'll start to see some of these dignitaries arrive, everyone from former vice president dan quaylesidents, obama, clinton and bush, all will be arriving in this door right behind me. anderson, all throughout this building there are reminders of what happened just two weeks ago. still making some last-minute repairs to parts of this building destroyed. windows and the like. boarded up windows in parts of this building as well. so people see what happened here two weeks ago. some want a new change, want to turn the page and that's indicative of this letter just sent by some republicans to say it's time to turn the page. at least start off on the right foot with this new administration, something we've not heard from house republicans over the last two months here. >> manu, at what point does the new congress begin, and at what point does the impeachment continue? >> well, this afternoon at 4:30 pm, the senate will gavel back into session and that will be the first time senate democrats will officially be in the majority. once kamala harris is sworn in as vice president, there will be

that is dan quayle. or a dignitary or vice president gets introduced with their own specific piece of music from the marine corps band. it is a celebration today. we will be hearing from lady gaga, who will be singing the national anthem. the poet laureate will be delivering a poem. it is notjust a sombre moment wherejoe biden will put his hand on the bible and take the oath of office, there is music, there is poetry, it is meant to be a celebration of the peaceful transfer of power. this year, the peaceful transfer of power is being secured by an absolutely massive security operation. the city is on high alert after the riot at the capitol earlier this month. there are 25,000 national guard troops on hand for the ceremony. that is more than the trips america currently has in afghanistan, iraq and syria combined. there is high fencing, barbed wire is around the capitol building, shops have been boarded up. larry madowo is out on the streets looking at the security. where are you? how close are you to the

. >> we're just about to see dan quayle, the former vice president, and mrs. marilyn tucker quayle. east crypt vestibule. and there will be item ptrumpet they enter onto the presidential platform as that ceremony is afforded the former vice president of the united states. there just this week, it's a sight like i have never seen before. it's really quite beautiful and it is -- i'm told it's windy today and it was windy the other day. it gets cold up there quickly and there are not space heaters. >> norah, that's the thing that struck me about your piece. i meant to email you about that. when you were talking to senator klobuchar and senator blunt and you stood behind the podium and you just let the camera say, this is the shot that they're going to be -- this is the vantage point they will have. major, i have been feeling dewey-eyed lately. we were talking earlier. when i saw that shot, i was filled with such pride in the way you set it up to say look at this and look at what this represents. >> it was, and majestic. >> yes. >> it's a reminder how great this nation's capitol is, how
