if you could pass through the fencing and concrete, pas lafayette park and be in the white house within minutes. we'll watch that procession and the two men will drive to capitol hill and what i think is important to remember, trump's first drive with barack obama, he told him, his greatest security challenge would be north korea. think about that eight years ago now north korea, russia, china, iran, new axis of competition and axis of the world that has formed over the past few years. what did biden and trump say to each other, at some point, maybe we'll get a read-out on haor idea what biden says in his letter he left for trump. we never knew what trump said to biden years ago. >> steve: wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall. dial in ben domenech, couple of minutes. i've heard certain members of maga world refer to today as liberation day. been waiting for today, today is liberation day. >> over the last years, increasing consternation and way his story is ending is travesty for the country and nothing caps that more than these pardons being issued today which is indictment and ad

yes, we are here in lafayette park, overlooking lafayette park, in 25 degree washington, d.c. inauguration has been moved indoors. i'm one of two people who will be outdoors at any point today because all the festivities have been inside. behind us is the white house, where biden has been, and i think they will be having tea. we had a revolution so we wouldn't have to drink tea in the morning, ever, but that is going to be a moment. a courtesy that was not offered to joe biden from donald trump last night. biden is offering that courtesy, and it really just feels, in many ways, a loaded moment. >> at the same time, i think joe biden always promised the nation normalcy. there are some promises he didn't make good on and were punished for that. say with democrats, saying i'm going to be a bridge to the next generation, to this movement forward. he didn't necessarily do that, and i think paid for it politically. but he did always promise the nation that he would try to bring normalcy back with these kinds of moments, right? it's not just the peaceful transfer of power, but about

actually, looking down on lafayette park behind us right now. and as you said, you know, it's not warm. >> it's like 25 degrees right now. >> not expected to get any warmer. >> although i will say it's significantly warmer than when ronald reagan moved his inauguration inside in 1985. that was about seven degrees. so this is downright balmy compared to that. and as casey noted, waking up to history here in washington, d.c., and i'm here with audie cornish and audie behind us, we're kind of looking down on history because behind us, directly behind us is a white house where a president is sleeping, but also blair house, where a former and future president is sleeping or waking up and it's the same guy this time it is. >> and when i think back to trump's inauguration, which i attended back in 2017, there was a real question mark in the air. people were shocked. there was a resistance air quotes building. >> so the preparations on the street were around protests. >> you had a number of democrats who said they weren't going to be attending at all. >

so after the president-elect does that typically, then he will head across lafayette park right acrossm the white house and go to st. john's church. it's the church of the president. and come back and have tea and a breakfast with the current president of the united states. now the state department actually runs this. blair house became a larger complex of about 70,000 square feet. it's actually bigger than the white house. so that the white house could host foreign dignitaries. state department describes it. actually pretty nice a team of chefs who offer the best of american cuisine featuring locally sourced food and best of american wine. the last point is lost on the president-elect who doesn't drink. but you have had a number of people say this ever since it's become the official house guest house of the president, including charles de gaulle and harry truman the president lived here in the 1940s and 50's when they were renovating the white house. back to you. >> ainsley: thank you so much, rich. we have a fox news alert. president biden just issues new pardons for dr. anthony fauc

now yesterday while visiting sth across from lafayette park, president biden said it's up to president-electe what to do. >> reporter: what's your take on the tiktok decision today, sir? >> [inaudible] >> reporter: do you think someone will buy tiktok? >> reporter: now, mike, biden stopping at st. john's across from the white house to sign the prayer book, that was his first visit as president. if he had not gone, it would have broken a more than 200-year tradition dating back to james madison. now back to tiktok. president-elect trump wrote oncd banning the app recently became a tiktok convert and credits the platform with helping him connect with young voters during the campaign. trump writing on truth social, quote, my decision on tiktok will be made in the not-too-distant future, but i must have time to review the situation. stay tuned. now, tiktok providing a statement of their own saying, quote, unless the biden administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical presence, unfortunately, tiktok will be forced go dark on january 19th. kevin o'leary, w

the trumps will be making their way across lafayette park for that traditional service there.n the bidens will be welcoming the trumps back to the white house. a longstanding tradition, one that donald trump did not participate in four years ago. joe biden is adamant that, unlike trump in 2021, he would participate and par take in the peaceful transfer of power. from there they will make their way to the capitol. today a triumphant return for president trump and a bitter departure from joe biden. >> george: mary bruce, thanks. >> robin: gonna bring in rachel scott for more on what donald trump is planning to do on day one of his new administration. rachel, i know you spoke with the president-elect as he was preparing to depart for washington for the inauguration. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning. i spoke to president-elect donald trump by phone and he made it very clear he wants to move very quickly on these executive orders, just within hours of taking the oath of office. president-elect donald trump is expected to sign them here, that will take the place of the

thanking the inspector general you for completely and totally exonerating me in the clearing of lafayette park. it just seems as though the work that you're doing and you know, it's trust, you know, trustworthy. et cetera has put him in a positive light, not a negative one. >> well, we do fair, objective, independent oversight, and i've been doing that for five and a half years. and i'm very proud of the work that my team has done during my tenure as inspector general. and so i would agree with you. i don't know what the basis of the removal was, but we've been doing good, high impact work trying to help the american taxpayer. we are the taxpayers representatives inside the department of the interior, and i think we've been doing that job really well. >> so let's talk about the big picture impact of not just your job, but all of these. you say you're still sifting through the rubble. i mean, what does that mean for taxpayers if there are not people like you in these roles? >> well, i would say it's it's troubling. these should be sending these removals, should be sending off alarm bells for a

no, he's going, he's going to use the power of that office very much as he tried to do in lafayette parkd four years ago. right. so this is the landscape we're in right now. and so i want to know who are the voices? what are the voices? where are they coming from that stand up? you can't rely on the elected leadership there, but says at this point they're pushovers. they're not effective at all. they're too scared. they're timid. we watch u.s. senators scurry as fast as they could to an open elevator, because they can't even answer a damn question about the about the head of their party. i mean, i'm i'm still a republican, so i can tell him he's bad. you know what? crazy for doing this. he's dead wrong for doing this. and damn it. so more republicans have got to say so, because when the cop on the beat is turned on by criminal elements in your community, you have no voice anymore to complain about that because you've just given license to it. you think it's just a federal issue. wait till it comes to your neighborhood and the gangs there decide, well, look, i'm a trump guy. he's going to

park 32. dublin was 32, i should add. lafayette and alamo are also 32. novato was 32, and sonoma and fairfax also briefly dipped to 32. and maybe your backyard thermometer did as well. we had, i know, upper 20s up into middletown, also in lake county was 29 as well. so there were a few. and it's cold enough 6046 for the city today averages 5847. the record 72 on the high side not that long ago, 2014, 2014. remember that? that was a really dry january 31st, the record low in 1888, and the rainfall 2.46in 1862. if you don't know, 1862 was the great flood. san francisco's january total was 24 and a third inches of rain in january of 1862. we mentioned this the other day. 1888 to 29 was cold, but not the coldest. december 11th, 1932, at 27 was the coldest. and some of you, if you were here, might remember 1990. december 21st, 22nd and 23rd. on the 22nd, the city did drop to 28 degrees. that is the second coldest with the 1888 readings of 29, the third coldest. san francisco's temps have kind of been trending down a little bit over the last six days, from 65,

lafayette. all 20 winds are 30. menlo park 30. santa clara 31. atherton dropped to 29. i'll fix that.'ll put it in there when i get a second here. a slight offshore breeze. nothing with the wind speeds like we had yesterday and warm temps. we had upper 60s to near 70 yesterday, but we're starting off really cold this morning. walnut creek is back down to 2930 in petaluma now. concord. fairfield 33. livermore 33. mountain view is down to 31. there's atherton's 29. foster city 33. how about that? 33 san carlos. palo alto airport 30. stanford. now reporting they might be 29. los altos 31. los altos hills, though 45. big difference. seven in truckee, 17 in reno and ten south lake tahoe. two and three out of winnemucca and ely. their offshore breeze down in southern california. it is colder, though. that helps a little bit. it does. we might get a teeny bit of rain on saturday. the sierra will get some snow, but it looks like we're going down with the third driest january in san francisco's history. the driest and second driest were 2015 and 2014. so january is all or nothing. but again, i

can find 32, 33, 34 for many san anselmo's in there walnut creek, menlo park, livermore, also walnut creek, there's 32 lafayette's alamo, dublin 33, orinda, 35 pinole and el sobrante. that's down a good 15 degrees from yesterday because the wind speeds have tailed off 39 there 34. mount shasta, 18 truckee, 22 south lake tahoe and reno at two bits there. the high holds on for one day, but temps will be sliding down. it's a dry pattern for now. i do think we get some rain tomorrow. sunny, breezy today, but cooler with 50s and 60s on the temps and the system drops right in. so windy and colder for sure. rain develops. i think the best bet looks to be east and south san jose, santa clara valley, santa cruz, santa cruz mountains and more than just a couple one hundredths is the way it's looking with snow in the mountains. so if you're going up, today is a good day to go. there will be 4 to 6 being advertised here, and maybe another system clipping us into the month. let's hope so. but the snow forecast. finally something. i think we're going down in january with parts of the gulf coast getting more snow than tahoe, wh
