i like lee greenwood. you know what's great about this is walking around d.c.ree balls, basically, which is a whole lot less than obama or even george w. bush. it's because of security. i think there are going to be protesters here as well so in addition to what we are seeing which is the joy of the moment and the pass of power from one administration to another, it's going to be a big weekend in d.c. for protest. >> can i point out something else? that man, donald trump, he stood up. he was clapping. >> he liked it. singing along. >> he gave a big hug to lee greenwood. >> i am telling you tomorrow you will get the left wing mockery will be thicker than michael moore's thighs. they will talk about how there were no hip bands. have a exploited patriotism and all that stuff. they will not see it as a real actual event that these people feel this man think this way. they will see it as something silly, something that their parents do. >> so many people enjoying this, excited to be there. so many people wanted to attend the concert. so happy to bring into your live

and lee greenwood singing god less the usa, have you seen an even like this?t you do for your country. he is talking about the pain his own family went through when they lost joe and his own brother-in-law was killed, very close to his sister. it was a traumatic time, in the kennedy family. and that is what he was talking about. when he knew that we were facing this soviet union -- cold war. he said what you can do for your country, it is moving to watch this, and a reminder, they hated kennedy, he was a catholic, they hated reagan, farewell from peter jennings, this man-made the wealthy ye yet -- wealthier and destroyed middle class, when the statistics show the opposite, so trump is in good company. liz: thank you so much historian doug wead. >> thank you. >> one day until donald trump is sworn in as our 45th president of the nation. let's take it to chief national correspondent for fox news ed henry, he is live at national mall, can you tell us what you are seeing there? reporter: a lot of people behind mer here gathering, they are coming from every state i

lee greenwood singing. a host of military bands at the make america great again celebration. trump arrived in d.c. in the afternoon. the next 48 hours is full of ceremony and celebration. trump spoke at the hotel and said they have the highest i.q. of any cabinet ever. we have more in the newscast but if you went more about the president-elect arrival plans tonight we go to chief political correspondent scott thuman live at the capitol hill bureau with more on that. scot: this a whirlwind in the afternoon. trump taking air force one arriving at joint base andrews. there was a breathe laying ceremony. everything comes to fruition for all the buildup to take place when you see that trump, mike pence at his side. at the arlington national. we are now hours away from the oval office. tonight he will be staying with the family house. catercorner to the white house. the reality that is setting in. perhaps making last-minute tweak to the speech everyone is watching tomorrow. a day of firsts. spicer space with the first briefing at the traffic six headquarters trying to lay out what

lee greenwood and all the great talent.so this journey began 18 months ago. i had something to do with it, but you had much more to do with it than i did. i'm the messenger. i'm just the messenger. and we were tired and i love you. believe me, i love you. we all got tired of seeing what was happening. and we want to change but we wanted real change. and i look so forward to tomorrow, we're going to see something that is going to be so amazing. so many people have poured into washington, d.c., this started out tonight being a small little concert, and then we had the idea, maybe we'll do it in front of the lincoln memorial. i don't know if it's ever been done before but if it has, very seldom. and the people came by the thousands and thousands and here we are tonight. all the way back. [cheers and applause] all the way back. so it's a movement that began -- it's a movement that started, and it's a movement like we've never seen anywhere in the world, they say, there's never been a movement like this. and it's something very,

tonight's feature performers include country music stars toby keith and lee greenwood.from the band "three doors down." i think it's fair to say president-elect trump will get top billing. the president-elect will speak tonight just hours before he will be sworn in as the 45th commander in chief. we're going to carry this all live, of course. and dana, one of the first people we're going to hear from after a patriotic opening will be the actor john voight who narrated donald trump's biography, the short little film during the republican convention. >> that's right. he is kind of a staple, a hollywood staple at republican conventions and inaugurations. as we've been talking about, hollywood does not tend to be very rah-rah republican, especially when it has come to donald trump. but john voight is certainly different from that. the one thing that struck me as we were standing here with tom barak we were just interviewing, the guy who ran this whole thing, the whole inauguration, is that everybody was sitting here on the big screens watching donald trump lay the wreath or

also at the lincoln memorial that's where you are going to see toby keith and lee greenwood and three doors down. the door just closed again. now until donald trump officially becomes the united states president, we believes this still called air force two. not inaugurated until tomorrow. then it will change to air force one and we're hoping 's for the first time at joint based andrews. >> we don't want to be on door watch though. i don't think. but we'll come back to it and our producer will tell us if the door happens to open again. men time -- meantime a spokesman for george h.w. bush says the former president is resting comfortably in a houston hospital. >> the 92-year-old is now stable and he's in the intensive care unit. he had to undergo a procedure to clear his airway. for the last couple of years he's been battling wamu moineau from time to time -- with pneumonia from time to time. millions though are taking to social media trying to wish them a speedy recovery. among them one tweets our they're thoughts and prayers are -- thoughts and prayers are with you and families of cou

lee greenwood will be one of the first performers we will hear from. this will be the fourth president for whom he performs at the inaugural, having performed at the inaugural of ronald reagan, george h.w. bush and george w. bush. when we talk about president-elect trump in his inaugural keeping with tradition, lee greenwood is part of that family tradition to quote a different country music star. >> as is the mormon tabernacle inquire and the rock ettes. as you said, the most fascinating thing as americans are really people around the world, it's going to be to lay our eyes on donald trump and melania trump and watch them watching the celebration and try to imagine what's going on in their minds. >> yeah. i mean, as we all know and as president-elect trump has discussed, they did not think this was going to happen. they were not expecting it. they wanted it to happen. he worked very hard for it to happen. but they were not expecting it. so, there is a certain reality that takes place with any president-elect. we talked about this the first intelligenc
