LEADER OF OUR TIME ABOUT TO 
TAKE OFFICE.
HE IS A PROVEN WINNER.
A BILLIONAIRE REAL ESTATE 
TYCOON WHO SPEAKS HIS MIND AND 
PROMISES TO DO EVERYTHING 
DIFFERENTLY.
TO THOSE WHO VOTED AGAINST HIM, 
HE'S A LIAR AND DANGEROUS.
A SEXIST AND A RACIST WHO WILL 
DIVIDE, NOT UNITE.
HIS ADMINISTRATION WILL FACE 
SOME OF THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES 
IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
THE ECONOMY CLIMATE CHANGE, 
ISIS AND A SHIFTING WORLD ORDER 
IN WHICH AMERICA'S PLACE IS NO 
LONGER CLEAR.
HIS TERM AND HIS TIME STARTS 
NOW.
TODAY HE TAKES THE OATH OF 
OFFICE.
TODAY HE TAKES ON THE BIGGEST 
JOB IN THE WORLD.
WHEN HE PLACES HIS HAND ON THE 
BIBLE AND PROMISES TO SERVE ALL 
AMERICANS, WILL HE MEAN IT AND 
WILL HIS COUNTRY BELIEVE HIM?
MORE VOTED AGAINST HIM THAN FOR 
HIM.
MILLIONS MORE.
SO, IN THIS MOMENT, EYES AROUND 
HIS COUNTRY AND AROUND THE 
WORLD ARE SET TO JUDGE.
WILL HIS WORDS FURTHER SPLIT A 
FRACTURED NATION?
OR WILL HE SHOW HE JUST MIGHT 
BE THE PRESIDENT WHO CAN MOVE 
AMERICA FORWARD?
FROM WASHINGTON, IT'S 
INAUGURATION DAY FOR THE 45TH 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
DONALD J. TRUMP.
YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE AT ONE OF 
THE MOST FAMOUS STRUCTURES IN 
THE WORLD.
THAT, OF COURSE, IS CAPITOL 
HILL HERE IN WASHINGTON.
THIS IS WHERE THE INAUGURATION 
WILL TAKE PLACE.
THE OFFICIAL MOMENT JUST ABOUT 
TWO HOURS AWAY NOW.
GOOD MORNING.
I'M PETER MANSBRIDGE HERE IN 
WASHINGTON.
OUR VIEW IS TERRIFIC.
WE'RE RIGHT ON THE TERRACE OF 
THE CANADIAN EMBASSY 
OVERLOOKING CAPITOL HILL.
ON THIS DAY, IT'S BEEN A LITTLE 
BIT DRIZZLY, A LITTLE BIT OF 
RAIN.
IT'S NOT WARM, BUT IT'S NOT 
COLD EITHER.
COLD IS THE DAY BARACK OBAMA 
WAS INAUGURATED.
IT WAS IN THE MINUS FIGURES 
THEN.
A LITTLE ON THE PLUS MARK 
TODAY, WORRIED A LITTLE BIT 
ABOUT RAIN, BUT SO FAR HEAVY 
RAIN HAS BEEN HELD OFF.
LET'S GO RIGHT OFF TO CAPITOL 
HILL RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE WITHIN FEET, WITHIN 
METERS OF THE VERY SPOT WHERE 
DONALD TRUMP WILL TAKE THE OATH 
OF OFFICE IS OUR PAUL HUNTER.
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT IT IS 
LIKE RIGHT NOW.
>> Reporter: PETER, TO 
PARAPHRASE JOE BIDEN, THIS IS A 
BIG DEAL.
AND I'M TELLING YOU IT IS A 
PRIVILEGE TO BE SPEAKING TO YOU 
FROM WHERE I STAND.
AS YOU SAY, WE'RE JUST METERS 
FROM WHERE DONALD TRUMP WILL 
TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE.
I AM LITERALLY LOOKING UP AT 
THE DOME.
THERE'S THE MORMON TABERNACLE 
CHOIR, DIGNITARIES HAVE JUST 
STARTED PILING IN.
WE'LL SEE JIMMY CARTER, GEORGE 
W. BUSH, BILL CLINTON, BARACK 
OBAMA AND, OF COURSE, THE 
PRESIDENT-ELECT WHEN HE COMES 
THROUGH THAT DOOR, DOWN THOSE 
STEPS, BY THOSE CHAIRS TO TAKE 
THE OATH OF OFFICE.
THOSE 35 WORDS AND THEN GIVE 
THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
THIS COUNTRY DOES THIS STUFF 
RIGHT.
IT'S HARD NOT TO GET CAUGHT UP 
IN THE POMP AND CEREMONY OF 
THIS.
AS I LOOK DOWN THAT WAY, BY THE 
WAY, PETER, I SEE CANADIAN 
FLAGS HANGING OFF THE EMBASSY 
AND I CAN ALMOST MAKE YOU OUT 
AMID THE THRONGS OF PEOPLE IN A 
MIX OF RAIN PONCHOS AND THOSE 
RED "MAKE AMERICA GREAT" CAPS 
THAT THEY HAVE AS FAR AS I CAN 
SEE.
IT WILL BE QUITE A DAY AND THIS 
IS QUITE A SPOT TO TAKE IT IN.
>> Peter: IT SURE IS.
YOU HAVE A GREAT SPOT TO WATCH 
IT ALL.
THE POLICE ARE ESTIMATING 
ANYWHERE IN THE 800,000 TO 
900,000 FIGURE FOR THE CROWDS 
HERE TODAY.
WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT 
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF 
CONGESTION IN D.C. TODAY AS 
PEOPLE TRY TO GET HERE.
BUT THE WEATHER HAS ALSO BEEN A 
FACTOR.
BUT, YES, THIS IS REALLY 
HAPPENING AFTER MONTHS, IF NOT 
A YEAR, OF PEOPLE SAYING DONALD 
TRUMP WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.
HE IS GOING TO BE PRESIDENT.
IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS' TIME.
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED A 
FEW MOMENTS AGO BECAUSE IT WAS 
A FURTHER SIGNAL OF THIS MOMENT 
AND THIS HISTORIC DAY.
BARACK OBAMA AND HIS WIFE 
MICHELLE WELCOMING THE TRUMPS, 
DONALD AND MELANIA TO THE WHITE 
HOUSE.
THEY ARE INSIDE HAVING COFFEE 
WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE RUNNING 
MATES, THE VICE PRESIDENT AND 
VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THAT 
CONVERSATION MUST BE LIKE.
THOSE TWO MEN WHO MADE NO 
SECRET OF THE FACT THEY DIDN'T 
THINK VERY MUCH OF EACH OTHER 
OVER THESE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
DONALD TRUMP LED IN SOME WAYS 
THE BIRTHER MOVEMENT AGAINST 
OBAMA AND OBAMA WAS VIGOROUS IN 
HIS ATTACKS ON DONALD TRUMP 
DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
BUT THOSE MOMENTS ARE OVER.
THESE TWO, AT LEAST FOR THE 
CAMERAS, HAVE GOT ALONG 
EXTREMELY WELL SINCE ELECTION 
DAY.
THEY'VE HAD A NUMBER OF 
MEETINGS IN PERSON AND MANY 
PHONE CALLS, THEY BOTH SAY, 
WHERE THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE 
BEEN GOOD, SPIRITED AND 
CONSTRUCTIVE.
WELL, HELPING US COVER THIS 
STORY OVER THESE NEXT FEW 
HOURS, WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE 
WITH US JENNIFER CARROLL.
YOU MAY REMEMBER JENNIFER FROM 
WATCHING THE PRESIDENTIAL 
CAMPAIGNS, ESPECIALLY ANY OF 
THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN 
FLORIDA.
BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY TIME YOU 
WERE THERE TO INTRODUCE DONALD 
TRUMP.
FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF 
FLORIDA, OBVIOUSLY A TRUMP 
SUPPORTER.
WHAT DOES THIS DAY MEAN TO YOU 
SO FAR?
>> THIS DAY IS HISTORIC IN THE 
SENSE THAT IT'S A SHOWING OF 
PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER.
REGARDLESS IF IT IS DONALD 
TRUMP OR ANYONE ELSE.
IT IS A CEREMONIAL ASPECT.
IT IS NOT IN OUR CONSTITUTION 
TO DO, BUT EVER SINCE GEORGE 
WASHINGTON, OUR FIRST 
PRESIDENT, WE HAVE HAD THE 
CEREMONY TO PEACEFULLY TRANSFER 
THE POWER OVER AND ALSO, TOO, 
TO SHOW THE POMP AND 
CIRCUMSTANCE FOR PEOPLE, THE 
PEOPLE TO GET EXCITED ABOUT THE 
MOVEMENT AND THE MOMENT AT THE 
TIME.
>> Peter: WELL, THE QUESTION IS 
HOW PEACEFUL WILL THIS BE?
THE TRANSITION OF POWER, 
THERE'S NO DOUBT, IT HAS BEEN 
HAPPENING AND IT WILL HAPPEN UP 
ON THAT STAGE.
BUT THERE HAS BEEN A TENSION ON 
THE SUPPORT OF THE DISTRACT TOS 
AND SUPPORTERS OF DONALD TRUMP 
OVER THIS LAST LITTLE WHILE.
WE'VE SEEN SOME OF IT PLAY OUT 
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.
IS THAT EXPECTED, OR DOES THAT 
TAINTS WHAT WE'RE WATCHING?
>> FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WILL 
TAINT IT BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL 
GET CONFUSED.
WHY ARE WE SEEING THE PROTESTER 
OUT STOPPING FOLK THAT IS 
PEACEFULLY WANT TO SEE THIS 
TRAN SINCING OF POWER TAKE 
PLACE.
AS WE SEE SOME OF THE CHOKE 
POINTS OF THE MARCHER, THE 
PROTESTERS STOPPING 
INDIVIDUALS, TRYING TO STOP 
THEM FROM COMING IN.
SO, FOR SOME THAT DON'T 
UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE PROCESS, 
THEY MAY BE CONFUSED.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S 
GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT DONALD TRUMP IS NOT GOING 
TO HAVE IT EASY, NOR DID GEORGE 
BUSH HAVE IT EASY WHEN HE TOOK 
OVER BECAUSE HE WAS SEEN AS AN 
ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT.
AND THAT'S BEEN THE MANTRA FOR 
MONTHS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS 
ILLEGITIMATE.
SO, HE HAS TO CARRY THE WEIGHT 
TO BRING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER.
>> Peter: WE'LL SEE HOW THAT 
WORKS, ESPECIALLY IN THE NEXT 
FEW HOURS.
I'LL TELL YOU A QUICK ANECDOTE 
ABOUT THIS MORNING ON THE WAY 
OVER HERE.
NOT FAR FROM OUR HOTEL.
BUT THE ONLY WAY TO GET HERE 
REALLY, WITHOUT HAVING TO GO 
THROUGH A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF 
ROADBLOCKS AND CHECKPOINTS WAS 
TO TAKE THE SUBWAY.
ON THE SUBWAY, IN THE CAR I WAS 
IN, YOU HAD BOTH SUPPORTERS AND 
PROTESTERS.
WITH THEIR SIGNS, WITH THEIR 
GEAR.
EVERYBODY, AT LEAST IN THE CAR 
ON THE SUBWAY, WITH GETTING 
ALONG JUST FINE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO DOWN INTO THE STREET 
AS ADRIENNE ARSENAULT HAS BEEN 
WATCHING SOME OF THE PROTESTERS 
AND SOME OF THE SUPPORTERS ON 
THIS DAY.
AND ADRIENNE HAS A GUEST FOR US.
>> Reporter: YOU BET, PETER.
WE'RE ALONG PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 
HERE, BY THE WAY.
YOU SEE LOTS OF TRUMP 
SUPPORTERS WANDERING WITH THEIR 
TICKETS, CLUTCHING THEIR 
TICKETS AND WALKING THROUGH 
THESE CROWDS OF PROTESTERS WHO 
ACTUALLY HAVE A PERMIT TO BE 
ALONGSIDE THE PARADE ROUTE.
THAT IS A BIG DEAL.
I'M WITH LORRAINE PINT.
YOU ARE NOT WITH AN OFFICIAL 
GROUP.
>> NO, I'M NOT.
>> Reporter: FROM WHAT I 
UNDERSTAND, LORRAINE, YOU SAID 
UNTIL TRUMP CAME ON THE SCENE, 
YOU'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN A 
PROTESTER.
>> NEVER IN MY LIFE.
>> Reporter: SO, WHAT IS WITH 
COMING HERE RIGHT NOW?
>> IT STARTED WITH HIS CAMPAIGN 
THAT I REALIZED HE WAS -- IT 
WAS ALL BASED ON HATE.
I WAS RAISED BY A FATHER WHO 
WAS A WORLD WAR II VETERAN TO 
BELIEVE IN OUR COUNTRY, LOVE 
YOUR COUNTRY, LOVE YOUR FLAG.
AND THIS WAS AGAINST EVERYTHING 
I WAS RAISED TO BELIEVE.
SO I FELT AS AN AMERICAN AND AS 
A WOMAN, TO STAND UP FOR MY 
RIGHTS, TAKE MY COUNTRY BACK 
AGAIN.
MAKE MY FATHER PROUD.
>> Reporter: OK.
SO, PETER, THERE ARE LOTS OF 
DIFFERENT ISSUES.
PEOPLE GATHERED HERE, A WHOLE 
COLLECTION OF CAUSES.
BUT ONE THING THAT SEEMS TO 
UNITE THEM -- AND WE WERE 
TALKING ABOUT THIS BEFORE -- IS 
THAT AMERICANS SAY THEY'RE 
HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A HARD 
TIME TALKING WITH EACH OTHER 
RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A BIT OF A NEW DAY.
YOU HAVE LOTS OF REPUBLICAN 
FRIENDS AT WORK.
WHAT'S THAT BEEN LIKE?
>> YES.
IT WAS VERY, VERY AWKWARD AFTER 
THE ELECTION.
I WAS DEVASTATED.
ALMOST LIKE MOURNING A DEATH.
I WASN'T ABLE TO EVEN SPEAK TO 
MY FRIENDS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
I JUST NEEDED TIME TO JUST COME 
TO TERMS TO TRY TO BASE 
EVERYTHING BACK ON OUR 
FRIENDSHIPS.
TO MAYBE LEARN TO DISAGREE WITH 
RESPECT.
BUT I LOST A LOT OF RESPECT FOR 
MY FRIENDS BASED ON THE FACT 
THAT THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP.
>> Reporter: AND YOU COULDN'T'S 
LUNCH WITH THEM.
>> I COULDN'T EAT LUNCH WITH 
THEM FOR THREE WEEKS AND 
COULDN'T LOOK MOST OF THEM EYE 
BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW 
MY FRIENDS COULD THINK THAT IT 
WAS OK THAT EVERYTHING HE WAS 
SAYING WAS OK.
>> Reporter: OK.
LORRAINE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SO, LEARNING TO DISAGREE WITH 
RESPECT.
THAT MIGHT AS WELL BE CARVED 
INTO SOME OF THE BUILDINGS 
ALONG THIS ROUTE TODAY, PETER.
IT'S SOMETHING LOTS OF PEOPLE 
HERE ARE SAYING THEY ARE REALLY 
TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO DO.
BACK TO YOU, PETER.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
OK, ADRIENNE.
THANK YOU.
WE'LL BE BACK TO ADRIENNE LOTS 
THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW HOURS 
AS WE MONITOR NOT ONLY WHAT IS 
HAPPENING UP ON THE PODIUM, BUT 
WHAT IS HAPPENING DOWN ON THE 
STREET.
WITH THAT MANY TENS OF 
THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS OF 
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE, IT 
WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH 
HOW THEY RESPOND.
AND LOTS HAPPENING OVER THESE 
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN SOME THINGS.
THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE.
BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU A SENSE 
OF WHAT TO EXPECT.
SO WATCH THIS.
OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO, PAST 
PRESIDENTS WILL ARRIVE, GEORGE 
W. AND LAURA BUSH, BILL AND 
HILLARY CLINTON, JIMMY CARTER, 
GEORGE H.W. BUSH IS NOT COMING 
DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES, AND OF 
COURSE THE OBAMAS WILL ALSO BE 
HERE.
OPENING REMARKS BEGIN AT 11:30.
TRUMP WILL BE SWORN IN AT NOON 
BY U.S. SUPREME COURT CHIEF 
JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS.
♪♪
YOU MAY REMEMBER BARACK OBAMA 
HAD ARETHRA FRANKLIN SINGING AT 
HIS FIRST INAUGURATION.
BEYONCE AT HIS SECOND.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WILL BE 
SUNG TODAY BY 16-YEAR-OLD 
REALITY TV STAR JACKIE EVANCHO.
SHE WAS ON "AMERICA'S GOT 
TALENT."
THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR 
PERFORMS FOR A SIXTH 
INAUGURATION, MINUS ONE MEMBER 
WHO REFUSED TO SING FOR THE 
PRESIDENT-ELECT.
AFTER THE CEREMONY, THE OBAMAS 
WILL LEAVE CAPITOL HILL BY 
HELICOPTER AS PRIVATE CITIZENS.
THE NEW PRESIDENT, VICE 
PRESIDENT AND THEIR FAMILIES 
WILL PARADE DOWN PENNSYLVANIA 
AVENUE BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
THERE WILL BE MARCHING BANDS 
AND THE ROCKETTES PERFORM.
AGAIN, MINUS A FEW WHO REFUSED 
THE GIG.
[CHEERING]
THE DAY WRAPS UP WITH THE GLITZ 
AND GLAMOUR OF INAUGURAL BALLS.
OBAMA ATTENDED NINE THE NIGHT 
OF HIS FIRST INAUGURATION.
TRUMP REPORTEDLY PLANS TO GO TO 
THREE.
INCLUDING ONE IN NEW YORK CITY.
AND YOU MAY HAVE READ THAT THE 
OBAMAS PLAN TO STAY IN 
WASHINGTON IN THE FUTURE.
THEY'RE GOING TO LIVE HERE IN 
WASHINGTON, ESPECIALLY UNTIL 
THEIR DAUGHTERS HAVE FINISHED 
THE SCHOOLING THAT'S TAKING 
PLACE HERE.
BUT IMMEDIATELY, AS YOU SAW, 
THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE IN A 
HELICOPTER HEADING OUT TO 
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE AND THEN 
OFF IN AIR FORCE ONE TO THE 
PRESIDENT'S PLANE AND PRESIDENT 
TRUMP HAS AGREED TO LET THEM 
USE IT ONE LAST TIME AS THEY 
HEAD TO PALM SPRINGS IN 
CALIFORNIA WHERE THEY'RE GOING 
TO TAKE AN EXTENDED BREAK.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO TO NEW YORK CITY, 
OUTSIDE WHAT SOME PEOPLE ARE 
CALLING THE NEW YORK CITY WHITE 
HOUSE, THAT'S TRUMP TOWER.
OUR STEVEN D'SOUZA IS THERE.
STEVEN?
>> Reporter: THANK YOU, PETER.
YEAH.
THIS IS A SIGHT THAT MANY 
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD HAVE 
BECOME VERY FAMILIAR WITH SINCE 
DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED 
PRESIDENT.
AND IT IS NOT TOO OFTEN IN 
AMERICAN HISTORY THAT YOU CAN 
SAY THAT MOVING INTO THE WHITE 
HOUSE FOR A PRESIDENT IS A STEP 
DOWN.
BUT WHEN YOU LIVE IN A 
THREE-STOREY PENTHOUSE ON 5TH 
AVENUE THAT IS MORE PINK MARBLE 
AND GOLD THAN WHITE, THAT'S THE 
CASE OF DONALD TRUMP AND IN NEW 
YORK CITY, DONALD TRUMP 
PERSONIFIES THE BRASHNESS OF 
NEW YORK CITY.
NOT NECESSARILY THE CITY'S 
FAVORITE SON.
PEOPLE IN THIS CITY AND THE 
STATE VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY 
AGAINST HIM.
BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GET USED 
TO THE FACT NOW THAT THEIR 
PRESIDENT IS LIVING HERE OR IS 
GOING TO LIVE HERE AT LEAST 
PART TIME.
THAT IS WHAT WE HEAR.
WE KNOW HIS SON AND HIS WIFE 
MELANIA WILL STAY HERE ON 5TH 
AVENUE PROBABLY UNTIL THE 
SUMMER WHEN HE FINISHES SCHOOL 
AND THAT PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP 
WILL BE MAKING TRIPS BACK HERE 
QUITE OFTEN AND THAT IS GOING 
TO BE QUITE AN ADJUSTMENT FOR 
THE CITY.
BECAUSE WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS 
IN TOWN, SECURING THIS AREA 
COSTS UPWARDS OF $500,000 A DAY.
AND SO THE BARRICADES, THE 
HEAVILY ARMED POLICE BEHIND ME 
IN FRONT OF TRUMP TOWER, THAT 
IS NOW GOING TO BE A PERMANENT 
FIXTURE OVER THE COURSE OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TERM.
THAT IS SOMETHING PEOPLE HAVE 
TO GET USED TO IT.
IT'S ALREADY BECOME A TOURIST 
SITE.
PEOPLE SNAPPING PHOTOS HERE.
A SMALL HANDFUL OF PROTESTERS 
OUT NOW BUT WE'RE EXPECTING 
MORE LATER THIS MORNING, 
INCLUDING A LARGE NUMBER TO 
COME, TO COINCIDE WITH THE 
INAUGURATION.
SO, HAVING A PRESIDENT LIVING 
RIGHT IN THE HEART OF 
MANHATTAN, MAKING THE TRIP 
BETWEEN D.C. AND NEW YORK, THAT 
IS A NEW NORMAL THAT A LOT OF 
AMERICANS ARE STARTING TO 
ADJUST TO, PETER.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT, STEVEN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
JUST TO BRING YOU UP TO DATE ON 
WHERE WE ARE, THE TRUMPS AND 
OBAMAS ARE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
HAVING COFFEE.
PROBABLY GOING OVER A FEW 
THINGS ABOUT WHAT IT IS LIKE TO 
LIVE IN THAT HOUSE AS WELL.
AND THEN THIS ELABORATE DANCE 
STARTS, ONCE THE OBAMAS AND THE 
TRUMPS LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE TO 
COME UP HERE TO CAPITOL HILL IN 
ABOUT AN HOUR'S TIME TO DO THE 
ACTUAL, PHYSICAL TRANSFER OF 
POWER WITH THE SWEARING IN OF 
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
THERE IS THIS ELABORATE DANCE 
THAT TAKES PLACE AT THE WHITE 
HOUSE THAT GOES ON FOR ABOUT 
FOUR OR FIVE HOURS WHERE THEY 
LITERALLY MOVE THE OBAMAS OUT 
-- EVERYTHING IS PACKED, 
OBVIOUSLY -- BUT THEY MOVE 
EVERYTHING OUT AND THEY MOVE 
THE TRUMPS IN.
AND IN THAT PROCESS, THEY PAINT 
WALLS, THEY CHANGE RUGS.
THEY HANG NEW PICTURES UP.
IT IS THE WHOLE DEAL.
IT HAPPENS IN FIVE HOURS.
THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO US, DOES 
IT, WHEN WE MOVE.
IT TAKES USUALLY A LITTLE 
LONGER THAN THAT.
ANYWAY, THAT WILL BE GOING ON.
WE HAVE LOTS OF THINGS TO SHOW 
YOU OVER THESE HOURS AHEAD.
IN THIS FIRST HOUR, WE'LL TAKE 
THE ODD BREAK HERE BECAUSE WE 
WANT TO GO WALL-TO-WALL 
COVERAGE ONCE TRUMP ARRIVES 
HERE, PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP AND 
PRESIDENT OBAMA ARRIVE HERE ON 
CAPITOL HILL.
SO AS WE GO TO OUR FIRST BREAK, 
SOMETHING ELSE WE'VE BEEN DOING 
OVER THESE LAST FEW WEEKS.
WE'VE BEEN CROSSING THE 
COUNTRY, THE UNITED STATES, AND 
GETTING THOUGHTS FROM DIFFERENT 
AMERICANS ABOUT WHAT THEIR 
MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WOULD BE.
A DEAR MR. TRUMP LETTER.
HERE'S THE FIRST ONE.
>> DEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP, I'M 
AMANDA AND I LIVE IN LOS 
ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
AND MY HOPE FOR YOUR PRESIDENCY 
IS THAT, SINCE WE AS 
REPUBLICANS CONTROL ALL THREE 
CHAMBERS OF GOVERNMENT, THAT 
YOU AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS HOLD 
YOURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO THE 
PROMISESS THAT YOU HAVE MADE TO 
ME AND MY FELLOW AMERICANS, 
BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY WILL.
JOBLESSNESS, OUR NATIONAL DEBT, 
A COMPLETELY BROKEN IMMIGRATION 
SYSTEM AND THE UTTER COLLAPSE 
OF THE INNER CITY HAVE BEEN THE 
RESULTS OF LIBERAL POLICIS THAT 
HAVE CAUSED MANY AMERICANS TO 
LOSE FAITH IN THEIR ELECTED 
OFFICIALS.
WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND WE LOVE 
WHAT IT STANDS FOR.
SO PLEASE, PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO FOLLOW 
THROUGH ON THE PROMISES THAT 
YOU'VE MADE AND MAKE AMERICA 
GREAT AGAIN.
TO SOME OF US, IT FEELS LIKE 
>> DEAR MR. PRESIDENT TRUMP, MY 
NAME IS GARY MORTON AND I LIVE 
IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOU, 
I DO WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS AS 
OUR PRESIDENT.
I HOPE THAT YOU ARE BLESSED 
WITH GOOD GUIDANCE AND A TEAM 
THAT WILL SUPPORT YOU TO 
ACHIEVE SUCCESS.
NOT JUST FOR YOU, BUT FOR OUR 
COUNTRY.
I TRULY WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
>> Peter: WELL, ANOTHER ONE OF 
OUR "DEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP" 
VIDEO MESSAGES FOR THE NEW 
PRESIDENT FROM DIFFERENT 
AMERICANS WHO WE BUMPED INTO 
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY OVER THE 
LAST FEW MONTHS.
AND AN INTERESTING MIX, AS YOU 
WILL SEE, AS WE GO THROUGH THE 
EVENING.
SO, WE'RE STILL OBVIOUSLY A 
LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM 
THE FORMAL ARRIVALS HAPPENING.
BUT RIGHT NOW SOME OF THE 
ARRIVALS OF DIFFERENT MEMBERS 
OF CONGRESS AND VARIOUS 
DIGNITARIES ARRIVING UP ON 
CAPITOL HILL WHO WILL TAKE 
THEIR PLACE IN THE SEATS 
SURROUNDING THE SPOT WHERE THE 
SWEARING-IN WILL TAKE PLACE.
AND REMEMBER, THERE WILL BE THE 
SWEARING-IN OF THE NEW VICE 
PRESIDENT, MIKE PENCE, AND THEN 
THE SWEARING-IN OF THE NEW 
PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP.
THOSE WILL TAKE PLACE, ONE 
AFTER THE OTHER, RIGHT OUTSIDE 
ON THE STEPS OF CAPITOL HILL.
YOU HEAR THE HELICOPTERS GOING 
OVER.
THERE ARE GOING TO BE LOTS OF 
THOSE THROUGHOUT THIS DAY AND 
THE SECURITY CAMERAS OR 
HELICOPTERS AND THE TELEVISION 
HELICOPTERS THAT ARE FLYING 
OVERHEAD.
SO, WE'LL KEEP ALL OF THOSE IN 
MIND AND THAT SOUND CONFLICT 
THAT OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS 
THROUGH ALL THIS.
LET'S BRING IN ROSEMARY BARTON, 
THE HOST OF "POWER & POLITICS", 
WHO HAS BEEN DOING HER PROGRAM 
DOWN HERE IN WASHINGTON OVER 
THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND 
WILL CONTINUE ON LATER THIS 
AFTERNOON.
BUT TODAY, DURING THE 
INAUGURATION CEREMONIES, 
ROSEY'S KIND OF THINKING CANADA 
AND WATCHING OUT FOR THINGS 
THAT MAY HAPPEN, CANADIAN ANGLE.
BUT ALSO MONITORING SOCIAL 
MEDIA.
AS WE KNOW THIS SOON-TO-BE 
PRESIDENT LOVES SOCIAL MEDIA.
ESPECIALLY TWITTER.
[LAUGHTER]
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
WHAT ARE YOU SEING?
>> Rosemary: WELL, LET'S START 
WITH CANADA.
TODAY IS A BIG DAY FOR US, TOO, 
AND THINGS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE 
FOR OUR NATION BY VIRTUE OF, OF 
COURSE, WHERE WE ARE.
AND ALSO BY VIRTUE OF OUR 
ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP.
THE $2 BILLION OR SO OF TRADE 
THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH EVERY 
DAY BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS.
SO, WE'VE HEARD AT LENGTH THE 
KINDS OF THINGS THAT TRUDEAU'S 
GOVERNMENT, OUR PRIME 
MINISTER'S GOVERNMENT HAS DONE 
TO TRY AND PREPARE FOR THIS DAY.
A CABINET SHUFFLE TO TRY AND 
GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN PLACE, 
TO TRY AND GET THE CHANNELS OF 
COMMUNICATION OPEN.
TODAY AMBASSADOR McNAUGHTON WHO 
BOTH YOU AND I SPOKE TO OVER 
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, HE 
WILL BE AT THAT CEREMONY 
WORKING THE ROOM AS HE DOES SO 
WELL.
AND A NUMBER OF CABINET 
MINISTERS WILL BE DOWN WHERE 
YOU ARE TODAY AS WELL.
NOT JUST THE NEW MINISTER OF 
FOREIGN AFFAIRS, CHRYSTIA 
FREELAND, BUT ALSO THE MINISTER 
OF NATIONAL DEFENCE, THE 
MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
SO, ALL OF THOSE INDICATIONS, 
WHETHER THEY GET FACE TIME WITH 
ANYONE IN THE ADMINISTRATION 
TODAY IS ANOTHER ISSUE.
BUT ALL OF THOSE -- THE 
BEGINNINGS OF BUILDING THOSE 
RELATIONSHIPS AS OF TODAY, HAVE 
ALREADY START AND THERE IS A 
REAL PREPARATION NOW FOR WHAT 
THIS MEANS.
WHAT THEY KNOW IT MEANS FROM 
THE GIT-GO, OF COURSE, IS TRADE.
THEY KNOW THAT TRADE HAS TO BE 
A TOP PRIORITY FOR OUR COUNTRY 
AND THAT WE HAVE TO SOMEHOW 
MAKE THE CASE NOW TO THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION THAT THIS IS A 
RELATIONSHIP WORTH KEEPING.
SO, THEY ARE BUILDING THAT CASE 
AND THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED 
SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
AND THOSE ARE GOING TO START 
REALLY FROM THE GIT-GO BECAUSE 
WE NOW KNOW THAT THE NEW 
PRESIDENT, ONCE HE'S PRESIDENT, 
WANTS TO START OPENING NAFTA 
RIGHT AWAY.
SO, CANADA HAS TO PREPARE FOR 
THAT AND THAT IS WHAT THEY'VE 
BEEN DOING OVER THE PAST COUPLE 
OF WEEKS.
>> Peter: ANY DONALD TRUMP 
TWEETS AT ALL TODAY?
YOU SAID THERE WAS A REPORT 
OVERNIGHT THAT HE'S CAST ASIDE 
HIS CELL PHONE.
HE IS NOT USING IT ANYMORE.
>> Rosemary: YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S 
HAPPENED, BUT ONE OF THE 
CONGRESSMEN I WAS TALKING TO 
THERE IN THE LINE-UP GOING IN 
AND HE HAS THIS CELL PHONE, 
RIGHT?
BUT HE MAKES CALLS AND HE'S 
GIVEN HIS NUMBER TO PAUL RYAN 
AND ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO 
GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM.
AND HE STILL ANSWERS THE PHONE.
SECURITY-WISE, I DON'T KNOW IF 
THAT IS SUSTAINABLE.
BUT I HAVE A HARD TIME 
BELIEVING, THOUGH, PETER, HE 
WOULD GIVE UP HIS TWITTER 
ACCOUNT.
HE TWEETED ONE GENERIC TWEET AT 
THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY.
THERE'S BEEN LITTLE SINCE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA, BECAUSE HE'S 
STILL PRESIDENT, HAS SENT OUT 
HIS FINAL TWEET, HIS FINAL 
SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGE TODAY AS 
WELL.
OF COURSE, WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON 
WHETHER THE NEW PRESIDENT -- I 
DON'T KNOW, MAYBE HE IS GOING 
TO TWEET FROM INSIDE THE CAR ON 
HIS WAY DOWN WITH PRESIDENT 
OBAMA.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Peter: WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON 
THAT.
AND SO WILL ROSEY.
WE'LL BE BACK TO YOU.
ROSEY MENTIONED THERE ARE A 
FAIR NUMBER OF CANADIAN CABINET 
MINISTERS HERE AND THEY'RE 
ACTUALLY IN THIS BUILDING THAT 
WE'RE IN NOW, THE CANADIAN 
EMBASSY.
AND CHRYSTIA FREELAND, THE NEW 
MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IS 
ONE OF THEM AND WE HOPE TO BE 
TALKING TO HER IN THE NEXT FEW 
MINUTES.
SO, THAT SHOULD BE INTERESTING 
TO SEE WHAT SHE'S EXPECTING 
FROM THIS SPEECH.
IN THE MEANTIME, LET'S GO TO 
OTTAWA.
ROLAND PARIS JOINS US FROM 
OTTAWA AND HE WAS THE SENIOR 
FOREIGN POLICY ADVISE R TO THE 
PRIME MINISTER FOR MOST OF THE 
FIRST YEAR OF THE PRIME 
MINISTER'S MANDATE.
HE IS BACK TEACHING AT THE 
UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA RIGHT NOW.
ROLAND, WHEN YOU WATCH THIS 
SPEECH TODAY, DO YOU EXPECT 
THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE -- I 
DON'T IMAGINE THERE IS GOING TO 
BE A SEGMENT ON CANADA -- BUT 
DO YOU SUSPECT THERE WILL BE 
SOMETHING IN THAT SPEECH THAT 
WE SHOULD BE PAYING PARTICULAR 
INTEREST TO?
>> WELL, AS YOU SAY, PETER, I 
DON'T EXPECT CANADA TO BE 
MENTIONED.
I DON'T RECALL CANADA EVER 
BEING MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY IN 
ANY INAUGURAL ADDRESS AND 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN HIS CAMPAIGN 
AND DURING THE TRANSITION 
HASN'T SPOKEN A LOT ABOUT 
CANADA.
BUT I WOULD EXPECT, OR I 
WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED AT LEAST, 
IF NAFTA COMES UP SINCE THAT IS 
SOMETHING THAT HE'S TALKED A 
LOT ABOUT AND ALL THE 
INDICATIONS ARE, AS ROSEY SAID, 
THAT THE NEW TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION IS LIKELY TO 
MOVE ON NAFTA QUICKLY.
OBVIOUSLY WE ALSO I THINK NEED 
TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO 
ANYTHING ELSE HE SAYS ABOUT 
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS.
>> Peter: YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE 
INTERESTING TO SEE WHETHER IT 
IS THE ORIGINAL PROMISE OF TEAR 
THE WHOLE THING UP OR WHETHER 
IT'S FINESSE, A COUPLE OF KEY 
IRRITANT POINTS FOR THE UNITED 
STATES AND FOR THAT MATTER SOME 
AREAS THAT CANADA WOULDN'T MIND 
FIXING.
>> IT'S TRUE.
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF MIXED 
MESSAGES ABOUT NAFTA.
I THINK THE VERY GOOD NEWS IS 
THE INDICATION THAT THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION ISN'T PLANNING 
ON GOING AHEAD WITH AN ACROSS 
THE BOARD TARIFF IMPORT DUTY 
FOR GOODS GOING INTO THE UNITED 
STATES.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 
POTENTIALLY EXTREMELY DAMAGING 
FOR CANADA.
IN ADDITION, THE INDICATION 
THAT THE FOCUS TARIFFS THAT 
THEY'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ARE 
LIKELY ONLY TO BE APLIED TO 
COUNTRIES THAT THEY FEEL ARE 
TRADING UNFAIRLY WITH THE 
UNITED STATES.
AND THERE'S NO INDICATION AT 
ALL THAT CANADA IS BEING 
TARGETED BY THE UNITED STATES.
AND THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, WE DON'T 
KNOW HOW ANY NAFTA DISCUSSION 
IS GOING TO PLAY OUT.
WE DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD 
POTENTIALLY BE SIDESWIPED IN 
MEASURES THAT THE UNITED STATES 
COULD TAKE AGAINST OTHER 
COUNTRIES, WHICH IS WHY IT IS 
SO IMPORTANT THAT THE TRUDEAU 
GOVERNMENT CONTINUE ITS 
OUTREACH EFFORTS, NOT JUST WITH 
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION, WITH 
CONGRESS, AT THE LOCAL AND 
STATE LEVEL AND THAT WE REMAIN 
HERE, VIGILANT AND READY TO 
VIGOROUSLY DEFEND OUR INTERESTS 
IF THEY SHOULD BE THREATENED.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
ROLAND, STAND BY.
DON'T GO AWAY BECAUSE WE WANT 
TO CHECK IN WITH YOU ON 
SOMETHING ELSE IN A MOMENT.
I WANT TO BRING IN A COUPLE OF 
OUR CORRESPONDENTS WHO ARE 
COVERING THE WORLD ON THIS DAY 
BECAUSE THE WORLD IS WATCHING 
WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND ME HERE IN 
THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS.
THEY WILL ESPECIALLY BE 
WATCHING IN MOSCOW AND WATCHING 
IN TEHRAN AS WELL.
THE IRANIAN RELATIONSHIP WITH 
THE UNITED STATES.
THAT IS A KEY ONE.
SO, WE HAVE SUSAN ORMISTON IN 
MOS KOUZ  -- MOSCOW AND ALSO 
NAHLAH AYED IN TEHRAN.
LET ME BEGIN WITH SUSAN IN 
MOSCOW.
SUSAN, GIVE US A SENSE OF HOW 
MOSCOW IS THINKING ABOUT THIS 
DAY.
>> Reporter: PETER, FOR RUSSIA, 
DONALD TRUMP IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND 
RUSSIA HAVE CRATERED TO AN 
ALL-TIME LOW UNDER BARACK 
OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION.
AND THE KREMLIN WANTS A WARMING 
OF THE RELATIONSHIP.
IT APPEARS THAT DONALD TRUMP 
DOES, TOO.
HE'S BEEN QUITE FLATTERING OF 
THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT, SAYING 
HE ADMIRES PRESIDENT PUTIN.
HE ADMIRES HIS CONTROL OVER 
THIS COUNTRY.
SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT 
THESE TWO BIG ACTORS WILL WORK 
MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER.
BUT, OF COURSE, EACH WANTS 
SOMETHING FROM THE OTHER.
ON RUSSIA'S LIST?
WELL, A SOLUTION IN SYRIA WITH 
AMERICAN COOPERATION.
PUSHING BACK NATO FROM RUSSIA'S 
BORDERS AND LIFTING THOSE 
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS.
BUT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM STILL 
CAN'T ESCAPE PERSISTENT, 
CONSISTENT INVESTIGATIONS, 
INQUIRIES BY U.S. INTELLIGENCE 
AGENCIES INTO THEIR PAST 
DEALINGS WITH RUSSIA.
THE KREMLIN HAS SAID IT HAD NO 
INFLUENCE OVER THE AMERICAN 
ELECTION.
BUT IN RECENT DAYS, WE'VE SEEN 
A KIND OF SOFTENING, A 
WAIT-AND-SEE APPROACH, A 
STEPPING BACK FROM THE 
ENTHUSIASM OVER TRUMP, AT LEAST 
FROM THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.
THEY'RE SAYING TALK IS CHEAP.
WORDS ARE WORDS.
LET'S SEE WHAT DONALD TRUMP 
ACTUALLY DOES.
SO WILL RUSSIANS BE WATCHING 
THE INAUGURATION?
YOU BET.
THERE'S A PARTY PLANNED IN 
CENTRAL MOSCOW FOR TRUMP 
SUPPORTERS.
WE VISITED A BAR LAST NIGHT 
WITH A TRUMP BAND.
AND PETER, IN THE MARKETS, YOU 
CAN FIND THESE CHARMING 
MATRUSCHKA DOLLS.
THIS ONE IS KIND OF INTERESTING.
INSIDE, THE FAMILY TRUMP WITH 
MELANIA, OF COURSE, AND 
UNDERNEATH HERE IS IVANKA AND 
LITTLE TEENY-WEENY MINIATURE 
TWO OF DONALD'S SONS.
THIS IS DONALD JR. RIGHT HERE.
SO, THIS IS THE TRUMP FAMILY 
DYNASTY FOR SALE IN MOSCOW 
MARKETS AND SOON TO BE IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
PETER.
>> Peter: THANK YOU, SUSAN.
SUSAN ORMISTON IN MOSCOW FOR US 
TODAY.
ALL RIGHT.
WE TALKED ABOUT TEHRAN AS WELL 
WHERE NAHLAH AYED IS AND THAT 
RELATIONSHIP IS A REALLY TRICKY 
ONE.
IRAN, THE UNITED STATES.
NO MATTER WHAT'S IN THE WHITE 
HOUSE.
DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD A LOT OF 
THINGS TO SAY, AS WE KNOW, 
ABOUT THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL 
THAT WAS SIGNED BY BARACK OBAMA.
SO, NALAH HAS BEEN THERE ALL 
THIS WEEK.
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT YOU'RE 
HEARING.
>> Reporter: PETER, THE TRUMP 
INAUGURATION IS COMPETING WITH 
SOME BIG, LOCAL NEWS HERE.
THE COLLAPSE YESTERDAY OF AN 
ICONIC HIGH-RISE IN CENTRAL 
TEHRAN, KILLING AT LEAST 20 
FIREFIGHTERS, POSSIBLY MORE.
BUT, OF COURSE, AS YOU MIGHT 
IMAGINE, THE TRUMP INAUGURATION 
IS STILL BIG NEWS.
AND HAS BEEN ACTUALLY FOR 
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AND HE'S 
APPEARED ON FRONT PAGES HERE 
AND NEWSPAPERS, ON STATE 
TELEVISION AND, OF COURSE, AS 
USUAL IN POLITICAL CARTOONS 
LIKE THIS ONE.
AND THE REASON IS THAT IT'S NOT 
JUST BECAUSE HE'S BECOMING 
PRESIDENT, BUT BECAUSE HE HAS 
BEEN OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THE 
NUCLEAR DEAL THAT IRAN SIGNED 
WITH WORLD POWERS MORE THAN -- 
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, SAYING 
THAT HE WANTS TO TEAR IT UP.
NOW BOTH THE FOREIGN MINISTER 
AND THE PRESIDENT HERE SPOKE 
OUT ABOUT THESE COMMENTS, 
SAYING THAT THERE IS NO UNDOING 
THIS DEAL.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO 
NEGOTIATE.
BUT ON THE HARDLINE SIDE, AND 
WE HEARD THIS AT FRIDAY PRAYERS 
TODAY, BOTH FROM FORMAL 
SPEAKERS AND ORDINARY PEOPLE, 
THAT THEY DON'T CARE WHO THE 
NEXT U.S. PRESIDENT IS.
AS FAR AS THEY'RE CONCERNED THE 
U.S. CANNOT BE TRUSTED AND IT 
IS THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIL AND 
IRAN IS STRONGER.
AS THIS MURAL HERE ON THIS 
SQUARE SAYS THAT IT CELEBRATES 
IRANIAN SUPERIOR POWER AND 
MOCKS AMERICAN HUMILIATION.
OF COURSE, LIKE EVERYWHERE 
ELSE, THERE IS A RANGE OF 
OPINION HERE.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOLD US THAT 
THEY'RE AFRAID OF 
UNPREDICTABILITY UNDER TRUMP.
THAT PERHAPS HIS ANTAGONISM 
MIGHT TRANSLATE ONE DAY TO WAR.
OTHERS HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY 
PERHAPS AS A BUSINESSMAN HE 
MIGHT BE MORE PRAGMATIC ABOUT 
THIS REGION.
NO MATTER WHAT, THOUGH, WHEN 
YOU COMPARE HIM TO BARACK OBAMA 
WHO, AFTER HIS INAUGURATION 
ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, ACTUALLY 
DIRECTLY SPOKE TO THE IRANIAN 
PEOPLE THROUGH A VIDEO TAPE 
SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO USE A 
DIPLOMATIC APPROACH TO DEALING 
WITH IRANIAN PEOPLE, USING 
HONESTY AND MUTUAL RESPECT.
PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT EXPECTING 
THAT TONE FROM TRUMP.
AND, IN FACT, THEY'RE WORRY 
THAT WHAT'S COMING IS WORSE 
THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL.
PETER?
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
THAT'S THE FEELING IN MOSCOW 
AND IN TEHRAN.
WHAT'S THE OTHER COUNTRY 
OVERSEAS THAT THE AMERICANS AND 
ESPECIALLY DONALD TRUMP HAVE 
HAD A LOT TO SAY ABOUT DURING 
THE CAMPAIGN?
CHINA.
SASA PETRICIC IS IN BEIJING FOR 
US.
AND HERE IS WHAT HE HAS TO SAY 
ABOUT THE THINKING THERE.
SASA?
>> Reporter: HERE IN BEIJING, 
PEOPLE ARE WATCHING WITH 
CURIOSITY AND CONCERN.
DONALD TRUMP HAS ALWAYS BEEN A 
LARGER THAN LIFE FIGURE IN 
CHINA AS A BUSINESSMAN, SOMEONE 
THEY COULD RESPECT.
AND INITIALLY SOMEONE THEY 
THOUGHT THEY COULD DEAL WITH, 
NEGOTIATE WITH.
WELL, NOW THAT HE'S ABOUT TO 
TAKE OFFICE, PEOPLE HERE ARE 
NERVOUS, NOT TONIGHT PEOPLE ON 
THE STREETS BUT THEIR LEADERS 
AS WELL.
THAT'S BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS 
CONSIDERED UNPREDICTABLE AND 
UNDIPLOMATIC.
NERVOUS ALSO BECAUSE HE SEEMS 
TO BE SUGGESTING THROUGH HIS 
TWOETS AND THREATS THAT HE 
WANTS TO GIVE MORE RECOGNITION 
TO TAIWAN.
THAT SELF-GOVERNING ISLAND IS 
CONSIDERED PART OF CHINA BY 
BEIJING AND ANY MOVE TOWARD IT 
IS CONSIDERED VERY DANGEROUS.
A THREAT TO ITS TERRITORY.
CHINA IS ALSO WORRIED ABOUT A 
LOOMING TRADE WAR BETWEEN IT 
AND THE UNITED STATES.
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ECONOMY 
HERE HAS BEEN SLOWING DOWN TO 
ITS LOWEST POINT IN MORE THAN A 
QUARTER CENTURY.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT, SASA, 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THERE'S THE SNAPSHOTS FROM 
THREE MAJOR COUNTRIES THAT WILL 
BE WATCHING THIS SPEECH.
THESE DOORS ARE THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE'RE KEEPING OUR EYE ON THAT 
AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO 
BECAUSE THAT IS THE AREA WHERE 
DONALD TRUMP AND BARACK OBAMA 
ARE RIGHT NOW JUST BEHIND THOSE 
DOORS AND IN THE -- WHAT'S 
CALLED THE BLUE ROOM HAVING 
COFFEE AND A CONVERSATION 
BEFORE THEY LEAVE TO HEAD OVER 
TO THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
LET ME QUICKLY GO BACK TO 
ROLAND PARIS IN OTTAWA, JUST TO 
TIE THE KNOT ON THIS 
CONVERSATION, ROLAND.
WHEN WE HEAR FROM SUSAN AND 
NALAH AND SASA, YOU GET A SENSE 
THAT THERE COULD BE A MAJOR 
SHIFT COMING IN FOREIGN POLICY 
FOR THE UNITED STATES.
BASED ON SOME OF THE THINGS AND 
THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF 
DONALD TRUMP.
DO YOU EXPECT, IF THERE IS 
GOING TO BE A SHIFT, THAT WE'LL 
GET OUR FIRST MAJOR HINT OF 
THAT IN THIS SPEECH?
>> IT'S HARD TO SAY, PETER.
OF COURSE, I WOULD EXPECT HIM 
TO BE EMPHASIZING THE 
AMERICA-FIRST-STRATEGY, WHICH 
HE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALONG 
THAT SEEMS TO INDICATE A BREAK 
WITH TRADITIONAL AMERICAN 
FOREIGN POLICY.
YOU KNOW, THE BIG PICTURE IS 
THAT SINCE THE END OF WORLD WAR 
II, AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIONS 
HAVE GENERALLY SOUGHT TO 
SUSTAIN A FRAMEWORK OF A 
RELATIONSHIP AND ALLIANCES AND 
INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE 
SUPPORTED A BROADLY OPEN AND, 
YOU KNOW, GENERALLY PEACEFUL 
INTERNATIONAL ORDER.
DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T SEEM TO BE 
INTERESTED IN THAT STRATEGY.
HE'S MUCH MORE TRANSACTIONAL.
HE SEEMS TO WANT TO MAKE DEALS 
WITH INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES.
SEEMS TO WANT TO USE AMERICAN 
POWER TO EXTRACT POWER IN THOSE 
BILATERAL DEALS.
HOW THAT WILL PLAY OUT FOR EACH 
COUNTRY, INCLUDING CANADA, IS 
UNCERTAIN.
WHAT'S ALSO UNCERTAIN IS WHAT 
THAT MEANS FOR THE 
INTERNATIONAL ORDER.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
ROLAND, LISTEN, THANK YOU.
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU LATER ON 
AFTER WE'VE HEARD THE SPEECH, 
I'M SURE.
ROLAND PARIS WITH US IN OTTAWA.
YOU SEE DOWN NEAR THE BOTTOM OF 
YOUR SCREEN, IS THAT BERNIE 
SANDERS THERE IN THE BACK?
LOOKS LIKE IT IS, YES.
ARRIVING ON CAPITOL HILL ALONG 
WITH OTHER SENATORS AND 
CONGRESS PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW THERE IS A BOYCOTT BY 
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF 
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS MEMBERS.
65, I THINK, WAS THE LAST COUNT 
I SAW WHO WON'T BE TAKING PART 
IN THE CEREMONIES HERE TODAY.
STILL VERY UPSET OVER THE BACK 
AND FORTH BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP 
AND JOHN LEWIS, THE ICONIC 
MEMBER OF CONGRESS FOR HIS 
CIVIL RIGHTS DAYS AND ACTIONS.
SO MEMBERS OF THE -- OH, THIS 
LOOKS LIKE THE TRUMP FAMILY 
COMING IN NOW.
THAT WAS HIS SON-IN-LAW.
AND LET'S SEE.
WHO ELSE?
WELL, THERE ARE GOING TO BE A 
MIX OF THEM.
AND WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON HOW 
THINGS ARE WORKING OUT THERE IN 
TERMS OF THE ARRIVALS.
THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM TO TAKE 
PLACE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
WATCHING ALL THIS FROM DOWN IN 
THE STREET, HUNDREDS OF 
THOUSANDS WHO HAVE GATHERED TO 
WATCH THE INAUGURAL CEREMONY ON 
CAPITOL HILL AND ONE OF THEM IS 
OUR LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE.
>> Reporter: PETER, WE'RE 
STANDING IN THE TICKETED 
SECTION HERE ON THE MALL.
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, MANY OF 
THEM TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO GOT 
THEIR TICKETS FROM THEIR 
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
MANY OF THEM INCREDIBLY EXCITED 
FOR THIS DAY, WHICH MANY OF 
THEM ADMIT THEY WERE SURPRISED 
ACTUALLY IS HERE.
AND ENTHUSIASTIC TO WELCOME NOT 
JUST TO THE REPUBLICAN 
PRESIDENT, BUT A REPUBLICAN 
CONGRESS, TOO.
AND PART OF TODAY'S CEREMONIES 
WILL BE A BENEDICTION FROM A 
PASTOR OF DETROIT.
MEMBERS OF HIS CHURCH ARE HERE 
TO WATCH THAT AND WITNESS THAT, 
INCLUDING DENISE.
DENISE, DONALD TRUMP CAME TO 
YOUR CHURCH.
>> YES.
>> Reporter:s AS PART OF AN 
OUTREACH FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THIS 
INAUGURATION?
>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
I'M REALLY THRILLED TO BE HERE.
AS A CHRISTIAN, WE JUST LOVE ON 
EVERYONE THAT COMES AND WE'RE 
ALL THE SAME.
IN GOD'S EYES, WE'RE ALL THE 
SAME.
SO I'M JUST EXCITED TO BE HERE.
>> Reporter: WHAT DOES DONALD 
TRUMP HAVE TO DO TO REACH OUT 
TO MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO 
DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM?
>> I THINK HE JUST HAS TO BE 
TRUE TO WHO HE IS AND LEARN.
JUST LEARN.
BE OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS AND 
IDEAS.
YEAH.
>> Reporter: THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH, DENISE.
IT IS AMAZING, WITH THE PEOPLE 
THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO, HOW MANY 
PEOPLE HERE SAY THAT THEY ARE 
PRAYING FOR DONALD TRUMP, THAT 
THEY REALLY HOPE THAT HE WILL 
CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THIS 
OFFICE, WHICH MANY PEOPLE HERE 
DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO HAVE, BUT 
ARE VERY EXCITED THAT HE IS THE 
ONE TAKING THE OATH TODAY.
BACK TO YOU, PETER.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU 
VERY MUCH.
DOWN IN A TICKETED AREA WHERE 
YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A TICKET.
TO GET IN CLOSE.
RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE AREA 
WHERE THE INAUGURATION'S TAKING 
PLACE.
AND THEN THERE IS LOTS OF FREE 
SPACE BACK FROM THERE.
WE'LL SEE JUST HOW MUCH OF THAT 
FILLS UP.
YOU REMEMBER THE ICONIC 
PICTURES IN 2009 WHEN BARACK 
OBAMA WAS HERE AND THERE WERE 
TWO MILLION PEOPLE FOR THE 
FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
TODAY THEY'RE EXPECTING 
SOMEWHERE AROUND HALF THAT 
NUMBER.
WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT.
JENNIFER CARROLL, BACK WITH US 
AGAIN TODAY.
JENNIFER, YOU'VE BEEN PATIENT 
WATCHING A UL OF THESE 
DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM AROUND 
THE WORLD TALK ABOUT THIS.
THIS GIVES US ALL A SENSE OF 
HOW CRITICAL THIS IS IN TERMS 
OF NOT JUST AMERICAN POLICY AND 
AMERICAN AFFAIRS, BUT WORLD 
AFFAIRS.
BUT LET ME PICK UP ON THAT 
POINT THAT LYNDSAY WAS 
MENTIONING THERE AND IT IS AN 
ISSUE OF HOW THE NEW PRESIDENT 
WILL REACH OUT TO AFRICAN 
AMERICANS BECAUSE THERE'S A 
SENSE THAT THERE IS A WIDE GAP 
THERE.
BETWEEN HIM AND THEM.
>> WELL, HE RECEIVED 6% OF THE 
BLACK VOTES DURING THIS 
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
AND SO DONALD TRUMP MADE A 
STATEMENT DURING HIS CAMPAIGN 
THAT HE WANTS TO HELP 
PARTICULARLY THE POOR AND INNER 
CITY AREAS THAT HE FELT HAVE 
BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
HE'S RECEIVED SOME OPPOSITION 
BECAUSE OF THAT, PEOPLE SAY HE 
CAN'T DO IT AND HE IS NOT GOING 
TO DO IT BECAUSE HE IS NOT OUR 
PRESIDENT.
BUT HE HAS SHOWN DURING THE 
TIME THAT HE'S BEEN TAKEN TO A 
POINT, HIS SECRETARIES, HE HAS 
BEEN MEETING WITH PEOPLE LIKE 
RAY LEWIS AND OTHERS WHO HAVE 
HAD COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO 
HELP COMBAT THE VIOLENT CRIME 
AND THE THINGS THAT PLAGUE 
INNER CITY.
SO, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT ON 
HIS PLATE TO DO BECAUSE HE 
CANNOT MAKE THAT FIX OVERNIGHT.
AND IF HE DOESN'T MAKE A MOVE 
AND AFOOT OVER THE NEXT YEAR 
AND A HALF BECAUSE THE CONGRESS 
WILL BE RE-ELECTED IN THE NEXT 
TWO YEARS SO HE REALLY HAS A 
YEAR AND A HALF TO MAKE A BIG 
DENT INTO WHAT HIS PROMISES 
ARE, TO SHOWCASE THAT HE IS 
TRUE TO HIS PROMISES AND HE IS 
LEADING IN THE DIRECTION TO 
MAKE THINGS CHANGE FOR THE 
INNER CITY AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN 
LEFT BEHIND.
>> Peter: IT IS LIKE A CONSTANT 
ELECTION CYCLE, RIGHT?
YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT THE FIRST 
100 DAYS, AND I'M SURE WE'LL 
TALK ABOUT THAT OVER THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF HOURS.
BUT REALLY IT IS THAT FIRST 
YEAR AND A HALF.
>> YES.
>> Peter: THE YOU ARE GOING TO 
MAKE CHANGE, SIGNIFICANT 
CHANGE, YOU HAVE TO SEE IT 
WITHIN THAT YEAR AND A HALF 
BECAUSE, BANG, RIGHT THEN YOU 
ARE INTO THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
>> BECAUSE IT IS A MOMENT.
AFTER THIS MID TERM ELECTION, 
IF THE CONGRESS CHANGES TO 
DEMOCRAT, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A 
HIGHER ROAD TO HOE TO REALLY 
GET HIS AGENDA PASS.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT TAX REFORM 
AND CHANGING A LOT OF MEASURES 
WITH IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER.
[HELICOPTER OVERHEAD]
IF HE DOESN'T DO ALL THESE BIG 
THINGS IN THE FIRST YEAR AND A 
HALF, IT WILL BE VERY 
PROBLEMATIC IF HE LOSES ANY 
SEATS IN THE CONGRESS IN THE 
NEXT ELECTION CYCLE.
>> Peter: WHICH IS WHAT 
HAPPENED TO OBAMA, RIGHT?
>> YES.
>> Peter: OK.
THANK YOU.
LET'S GO BACK TO THE STREET.
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
[HELICOPTER OVERHEAD]
>> Reporter: HEY, THERE, PETER.
IT IS GETTING LOUDER.
THANK YOU, MR. HELICOPTER.
THERE WAS A GREAT BIG CHORUS OF 
BOOS HERE ACTUALLY NOT THAT 
LONG AGO WHEN THE PRESIDENTIAL 
CONVOY MADE ITS WAY TO THE 
CAPITOL.
THAT WAS FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT 
TRUMP.
DAVE MONGOLD WAS NOT BOOING, 
THOUGH.
HE IS A PROUD DONALD TRUMP 
SUPPORTER.
YOU STAND OUT A LITTLE BIT 
WHERE WE'RE STANDING RIGHT HERE 
IN THE PROTEST ZONE.
>> DEFINITELY.
>> Reporter: HOW DO YOU FEEL 
ABOUT THAT?
>> I DON'T CARE.
THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.
THEY CAN BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT 
TO BELIEVE AND THAT IS THE 
GREAT THING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY 
IS THAT THEY -- EVERYBODY CAN 
BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT.
>> Reporter: SO FAR IT SEEMS 
PRETTY CIVIL.
ANYBODY GIVING YOU STINK-EYE?
>> OCCASIONALLY.
BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
PROBABLY MORE THAN WHAT I CAN 
SEE.
>> Reporter: WE WERE TALKING 
EARLIER, DAVE AND I, PETER, 
ABOUT WHAT ISSUE HAS DRAWN HIM 
AND I THINK IT IS SAFE TO SAY, 
WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT A LOT.
BUT YOU SORT OF ZEROED IN ON 
IMMIGRATION.
>> RIGHT.
>> Reporter: WHY IS THAT?
>> I JUST THINK THEY NEED TO 
WEED OUT THE BAD PEOPLE THAT 
HAVE BEEN IN THIS COUNTRY FOR 
FAR TOO LONG.
>> Reporter: YOU WANT HIM TO 
GET RID OF THEM.
>> THE BAD ONCE, YES.
THE GOOD ONES CAN STAY BECAUSE 
THEY'RE HARD WORKING, HONEST.
>> Reporter: AND YOU WERE 
SAYING ALSO THAT YOU'RE KIND OF 
GLAD HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN.
>> RIGHT.
YES.
THAT IS ONE REASON WHY I VOTED 
FOR HIM.
>> Reporter: OK.
ALL RIGHT.
I KNOW YOU'RE GETTING LOTS OF 
LOOKS.
I CAN SEE IT.
BUT DAVE IS GOING TO HANG OUT 
FOR A LITTLE BIT HERE, AS WILL 
WE.
BACK TO YOU.
>> Peter: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME 
PICTURES OF SOMETHING THAT JUST 
HAPPENED IN THE LAST LITTLE 
WHILE.
BECAUSE TENSIONS BETWEEN THE 
PROTESTERS AND POLICE ARE 
PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT.
THIS HAPPENED NOT FAR FROM 
HERE, JUST A COUPLE OF BLOCKS 
FROM HERE WHERE POLICE HAD TO 
USE PEPPER SPRAY TO BREAK UP A 
PROTEST THAT WAS GOING ON.
THESE ARE EXPECT.
-- EXPECTED.
WE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF IT LAST 
NIGHT AS WELL AND WE EXPECT TO 
SEE IT THROUGHOUT TODAY.
A BIG PROTEST MARCH TOMORROW.
AND WE'LL JUST HAVE TO MONITOR 
THIS CAREFULLY THROUGH THE DAY 
AND SEE HOW MUCH OF THIS GETS 
IN THE WAY OF THE INAUGURATION 
EVENT.
SO, WE'VE GOT CHOPPERS FLYING 
ABOVE US HERE AS WELL.
[SIRENS]
[HELICOPTER OVERHEAD]
SO THAT IS THE NOISE HERE IN 
THE BACKGROUND.
BUT WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY 
SPECIAL GUESTS HERE ON OUR SET 
OVERLOOKING THE CAPITOL HILL 
FROM THE CANADIAN EMBASSY AND 
THAT, OF COURSE, IS CHRYSTIA 
FREELAND, CANADA'S NEW MINISTER 
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
>> GREAT TO BE WITH YOU, PETER.
>> Peter: WHEN YOU ARE 
LISTENING TO THIS SPEECH, YOU 
KNOW, WHAT WILL CANADA'S 
INTERESTS BE IN TERMS OF WHAT'S 
SAID?
WHAT WILL YOU BE LOOKING?
-- LOOKING FOR?
>> YOU KNOW, PETER, I THINK 
FIRST OF ALL I'M GOING TO BE 
FOCUSED ON OUR ECONOMIC 
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNITED 
STATES.
AS I THINK CANADIANS KNOW VERY 
WELL, OUR TRADING RELATIONSHIP 
WITH THE UNITED STATES IS THE 
STRONGEST, MOST BALANCED, MOST 
MUTUALLY-BENEFICIAL TRADING 
RELATIONSHIP IN THE WORLD.
CANADA IS THE TOP EXPORT MARKET 
FOR 35 U.S. STATES AND NINE 
MILLION U.S. JOBS DEPEND 
DIRECTLY ON EXPORTS TO CANADA.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING REALLY 
IMPORTANT FOR US, AS A CANADIAN 
GOVERNMENT, TO EXPLAIN TO THIS 
INCOMING ADMINISTRATION.
>> Peter: BECAUSE WE HAD A 
SENSE FROM OUR TALKS  WITH THE 
AMBASSADOR JUST THE OTHER DAY 
THAT PERHAPS SOME OF THE PEOPLE 
CLOSEST TO DONALD TRUMP DIDN'T 
REALIZE THOSE NUMBERS.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK IT IS NO SURPRISE TO 
ANY CANADIAN THAT WE SPEND A 
LITTLE MORE TIME THINKING ABOUT 
THE UNITED STATES THAN THEY 
SPEND THINKING ABOUT US.
IT'S NATURAL.
RIGHT?
THERE'S 36 MILLION OF US.
AND SO ONE OF OUR JOBS, AS A 
GOVERNMENT, IS TO EXPLAIN THOSE 
THINGS TO THE UNITED STATES.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD WITH 
THE PRESIDENT-ELECT'S 
TRANSITION TEAM TO START MAKING 
THAT CASE.
AND REALLY JUST EXPLAINING SOME 
OF THE NUMBERS.
>> Peter: NOW ONE OF YOUR 
PARTICULAR INTERESTS, OF 
COURSE, AND CONCERNS IS BASED 
ON RUSSIA AND PARTICULARLY THE 
PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT PUTIN.
HOW WORRIED ARE YOU ABOUT THE 
KIND OF THINGS YOU'VE HEARD THE 
SOON-TO-BE PRESIDENT SAY ABOUT 
VLADAMIR PUTIN?
>> YOU KNOW, I LISTENED WITH 
GREAT INTEREST TO THE 
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS OF THE 
NEW CABINET AND I FELT THAT 
WHAT WE HEARD, PARTICULARLY 
FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, 
WAS VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH 
CANADIAN POLICY.
INCLUDING STRONG SUPPORTS FOR 
NATO.
>> Peter: YEAH.
I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THE 
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN THE 
PRESIDENT-ELECT HAS SAID 
CONTINUOUSLY THINGS ABOUT 
PRESIDENT PUTIN THAT YOU WOULD 
NEVER HEAR COMING FROM YOU OR 
FROM PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU.
DOES THAT WORRY YOU?
>> YOU KNOW, PETER, I THINK 
THAT IT IS WELL KNOWN TO BOTH 
CANADIANS AND AMERICANS THAT WE 
HAVE A DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT 
FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND 
OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SOME QUITE 
DIFFERENT VALUES.
SO, WE'LL BE WAITING WITH 
INTEREST TO SEE WHAT THE 
PRESIDENT-ELECT SAYS ON A 
NUMBER OF ISSUES.
BUT I THINK THE REALLY 
IMPORTANT POINT, WHICH WE HAVE 
BEEN MAKING TO THIS 
ADMINISTRATION, AND WE REALLY 
FEEL THAT WE'RE BEING HEARD, IS 
WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF CHANGES OF 
GOVERNMENT IN CANADA, IN THE 
UNITED STATES, AND 
NOTWITHSTANDING THOSE CHANGES, 
THE CORE RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS 
ABOUT STRONG MUTUALLY 
BENEFICIAL ECONOMIC TIES ABOUT 
THIS INCREDIBLY LONG BORDER, 
ABOUT US BEING GREAT NEIGHBORS 
AND HAVING A GREAT SECURITY 
PARTNERSHIP.
THAT RELATIONSHIP HAS ENDURE 
ADD LOT OF ELECTIONS BECAUSE 
OUR COMMON INTEREST SO STRONG 
AND THAT IS GOING TO BE THE 
CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE GOING 
TO HAVE WITH THIS NEW 
ADMINISTRATION AND I'M REALLY 
CONFIDENT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE 
A GOOD RELATIONSHIP.
>> Peter: ONE CONVERSATION THAT 
YOU HAD FOUND, I'M SURE, ONE 
THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY 
TROUBLE HAVING IS WITH THIS 
NOMINEE FOR SECRETARY OF 
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
BECAUSE HE, TOO, HAS BEEN 
BANNED FROM ENTERING RUSSIA.
>> THAT IS TRUE.
WE HAVE SOME THINGS IN COMMON.
>> Peter: HAVE YOU TALKED TO 
HIM?
>> NOT YET.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
MINISTER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH 
FOR TAKING THE TIME.
>> PLEASURE TO TALK TO YOU 
ALWAYS.
>> Peter: OK.
LET'S HEAD RIGHT UP TO CAPITOL 
HILL.
JUST A FEW METERS, AS WE SAY, 
FROM THE SPOT WHERE DONALD 
TRUMP WILL SWEAR HIS OATH TO 
THE AMERICAN FLAG, THE AMERICAN 
CONSTITUTION AND TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAUL HUNTER IS 
THERE.
PAUL?
>> Reporter: HEY, PETER.
I WAS A BOY SCOUT SO I COME 
PREPARED AND I BROUGHT 
BINOCULARS.
AS IT TURNS OUT, YOU DON'T 
REALLY NEED THEM HERE.
THIS IS A FANTASTIC SPOT.
I'VE BEEN DOING SOME POLITICAL 
CELEBRITY WATCHING AND THEY'RE 
ALL HERE NOW.
I MEAN, AS I LOOK OVER THERE, I 
SEE NEWT GINGRICH AND CHRIS 
CHRISTIE AND MARCO RUBIO AND 
COREY BOOKER, REINS PREIBUS AND 
SOME OF DONALD TRUMP'S FAMILY 
WALKED IN.
AND WE TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE WE 
GOING TO HEAR WHEN DONALD TRUMP 
GIVES HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS AND 
WE GOT A HINT OF THAT LAST 
NIGHT AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL 
AT THE FAR END OF THE MALL WHEN 
HE TALKED ABOUT UNITY.
HE'S BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT 
UNITY ON THE PROGRAM HERE.
I THINK THE QUESTION IS, YOU 
KNOW, HOW FAR WILL HE PUSH THAT.
HOW SINCERE WILL HE BE?
WILL PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM?
D.C. IS A PARTICULAR PLACE, 
RIGHT?
TALKING ABOUT THE TRIM DOWN 
THIS MORNING ON THE SUBWAY.
I GOT IN A TAXI AND THEY HAD 
TALK RADIO ON AND THE FIRST 
THING THAT THE ANNOUNCER SAID 
WAS 1407 DAYS AND WE'RE GOING 
TO COUNT DOWN BECAUSE THAT IS 
THE NUMBER OF DAYS UNTIL THE 
END OF THE DONALD TRUMP 
PRESIDENCY.
LAST NIGHT ON THE WAY HOME FROM 
WORK, I SAW REPUBLICANS AND 
DEMOCRATS SHOUTING AT EACH 
OTHER ON THE STREETS.
IT'S VISCERAL.
CAN --
>> Peter: SORRY, PAUL.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU.
BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP AND BARACK 
OBAMA HAVE JUST EXITED THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
AND AFTER THEIR COFFEE AND NOW 
THEY'LL SHARE A CAR RIDE TO 
CAPITOL HILL.
FOR THE SWEARING-IN CEREMONY.
THE FORMAL INAUGURATION ADDRESS.
AND WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO HEAR THEM.
AND YOU WISH YOU COULD HEAR 
THEM IN THIS LIMOSINE AS THEY 
NATIONAL CONVENTION DRIVE FROM 
THE WHITE HOUSE, SHORT DRIVE.
STARTED BACK IN 1933, THE IDEA, 
ONE OF FIRST ONES ANYWAY, BY 
VEHICLE.
IT WAS F.D.R. 
BUT IT ACTUALLY GOES BACK EVEN 
100 YEARS BEFORE THAT WHEN THEY 
USED TO DO IT BY CARRIAGE WITH 
THE NEW PRESIDENT ALONGSIDE THE 
EXITING PRESIDENT.
AND YOU WONDER JUST WHAT THEY 
WOULD TALK ABOUT.
YOU ESPECIALLY WONDER WITH 
THESE TWO, GIVEN THEIR HISTORY, 
WHICH WE'VE BEEN THROUGH ANY 
NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THESE LAST 
FEW DAYS.
BUT THEY WILL -- I IMAGINE IT 
WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF SMALL 
TALK.
PROBABLY SOME -- WELL, THERE'S 
THE CLINTONS.
FORMER PRESIDENT, NUMBER 42 
BILL CLINTON, AND HILLARY 
CLINTON WHO I'M SURE CAN'T GO 
THROUGH A DAY LIKE THIS WITHOUT 
WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD HAVE 
BEEN LIKE FOR HER.
I MEAN, I'M SURE SHE HAD 
THOUGHT MANY TIMES THAT THIS 
WAS GOING TO BE HER DAY.
HISTORIC DAY OF A DIFFERENT 
KIND.
IF SHE HAD WON THE ELECTION BUT 
SHE DIDN'T.
THEY'RE IN PLACE HERE ON 
CAPITOL HILL AS WELL.
AS THE MOTORCADE BEGINS ITS 
ROUTE.
TO CAPITOL HILL.
WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT.
BUT WE'RE JOINED HERE NOW BY 
RONA AMBROSE, THE LEADER OF THE 
FEDERAL CONSERVATIVE PARTY WHO 
IS HERE IN WASHINGTON AS WELL 
AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE 
VIEW FROM THE CANADIAN EMBASSY.
>> BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
>> Peter: IT IS.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
NOW TELL ME, WHAT IS IMPORTANT 
FOR YOU IN TERMS OF THIS DAY 
AND WHY YOU CHOSE TO BE HERE 
FOR IT?
>> WELL, I THINK IT IS AN 
IMPORTANT DAY FOR CANADIANS AND 
THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT, ALL 
PARLIAMENT  -- PARLIAMENTARIANS 
TO SHOW THE INCOMING 
ADMINISTRATION THAT WE'RE HERE 
TO WORK WITH THEM I'VE BEEN 
HERE FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS 
MEETING WITH SENATOR AND 
CONGRESSMEN TO MAKE THE CASE 
THAT OUR ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP 
IS THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD.
AND THAT THAT PARTNERSHIP IS 
SOLID.
IT IS $800 BILLION IN TRADE 
THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH ACROSS 
OUR BORDERS.
AND THAT WE'RE FRIENDS.
WE FOUGHT WARS TOGETHER AND 
THAT ANY OF THIS PROTECTIONIST 
TALK ABOUT TAX ON CANADIAN 
GOODS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
GREAT TO HEAR YESTERDAY FROM 
THE INCOMING TREASURER, U.S. 
SECRETARY, THAT THERE WILL NOT 
BE A TAX ON CANADIAN GOODS, NOT 
BROAD TAX.
AND I HAVE TO SAY WHEN I 
ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON, I WAS 
ANXIOUS BECAUSE IT'S THINGS 
THAT I'VE HEARD FROM MR. TRUMP, 
FROM HIS TWEETS, FROM SOME OF 
HIS RHETORIC DURING THE 
ELECTION.
BUT TALKING TO CONGRESSMEN AND 
SENATORS, I WAS RE-ASSURED THAT 
THEY ALSO RECOGNIZE THE 
INCREDIBLE IMPORTANCE OF OUR 
RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER, 
ECONOMICALLY, AS FRIENDS, AS 
ALLIES AND I FEEL MUCH MORE 
COMFORTED AND RE-ASSURED NOW 
THINKING THAT I KNOW THERE WILL 
BE CHALLENGES.
I KNOW THAT IF THERE IS 
RENEGOTIATIONS OF NAFTA -- 
LET'S FACE IT, NAFTA IS 25 
YEARS OLD AND THE INTERNET 
WASN'T EVEN DISCOVERED THEN.
HOPEFULLY THERE ARE THINGS THAT 
WE CAN DO THAT WILL MAKE IT A 
BETTER AGREEMENT FOR ALL 
PARTIES.
BUT I'M SURE THERE WILL BE 
CHALLENGES.
>> Peter: THERE WILL BE 
CHALLENGES, FOR SURE.
AND WHAT I FIND INTERESTING, 
I'M SURE VIEWERS DO, TOO, IS 
MANY OF THE THINGS YOU JUST 
SAID ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT 
CHRYSTIA FREELAND SAID HERE.
BUT THE SENSE THAT WE HAVE TO 
CONTINUELY MAKE THE CASE ABOUT 
THE STRENGTH OF THE 
RELATIONSHIP AND THE HISTORY OF 
THE RELATIONSHIP.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Peter: EVERY TIME THERE IS A 
NEW ADMINISTRATION HERE.
>> I THINK WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT 
EVEN WITH A TRANSITION OF 
POWER, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT 
THE POLITICAL STRIPE OF THE 
PRESIDENT IS, THIS COUNTRY IS 
OUR BEST FRIEND, BIGGEST ALLY 
AND WE ARE TO THEM AS WELL.
BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT 
TRADING RELATIONSHIP IS 
IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE AND WE 
HAVE TO REMIND EVERY CONGRESS 
PERSON, EVERY SENATOR OF THAT 
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE IS THIS 
PROTECTIONIST SENTIMENT OUT 
THERE.
WE SEE IT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF 
THE WORLD, NOT JUST IN THE 
UNITED STATES.
SO, WE NEED TO MAKE A -- I'LL 
GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
I WAS WITH A CONGRESSMAN FROM 
MICHIGAN YESTERDAY.
AND I BROUGHT A FACT SHEET WITH 
ME TO GIVE HIM.
AND HE WAS SURPRISED TO FIND 
OUT THERE'S $3 BILLION IN 
CANADIAN EXPORTS OUT OF HIS 
SMALL DISTRICT INTO CANADA.
50-SOME CANADIAN COMPANIES 
OPERATE IN HIS DISTRICT.
THOUSANDS OF JOBS ARE RELYING 
-- IN HIS DISTRICT.
RELY ON TRADE WITH CANADA.
AND WHEN WE STARTED TO TALK 
ABOUT IT, HE SAYS I RECALL A 
STORY HEARING -- OF COURSE HE 
IS IN MICHIGAN AND IT IS THE 
AUTO SECTOR -- THAT A PISTON 
THAT WAS BUILT IN HIS AREA 
CROSSED THE BORDER NINE TIMES 
BACK AND FORTH BEFORE IT WAS 
ACTUALLY PUT INTO A VEHICLE.
SO, HE'S ACKNOWLEDGED, WOW, 
THIS BORDER TAX WOULDN'T BE 
GOOD FOR US EITHER.
AND WE'RE ALL RELIEVED TO FIND 
OUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH US 
SITTING DOWN WITH OUR 
COUNTERPARTS HERE AND REMINDING 
THEM THAT FREE TRADE IS GOOD 
FOR CANADA AND GOOD FOR THE 
UNITED STATES.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
I'M GETTING PUSHED HERE TO MOVE 
ON BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING CLOSER.
BUT I CAN'T RESIST ASKING YOU 
ONE LAST QUICK QUESTION.
YOUR PARTY IS IN THE MIDDLE OF 
A LEADERSHIP RACE.
WHAT IS THE LESSON WATCHING 
THIS MAN, WHO NOBODY THOUGHT 
COULD WIN, END UP ON THAT STAGE?
>> THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE?
BUT HE IS A VERY UNIQUE 
INDIVIDUAL.
AND I THINK THAT THERE WERE 
CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE UNITED 
STATES THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN 
CANADA.
YOU KNOW, VAST INCOME DISPARITY 
IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS MUCH 
DIFFERENCE THAN OURS.
SO, THAT IS A BIG DEBATE HERE 
IN THE UNITED STATES.
THEY HAVE AN IMMIGRATION ISSUE 
WITH MEXICO THAT WE DON'T HAVE 
IN CANADA.
SO THEY DO HAVE ISSUES HERE 
THAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH 
THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN CANADA.
BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE 
IMAGINED THAT WE WOULD BE 
SITTING HERE WATCHING DONALD 
TRUMP BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES.
SO I GUESS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
>> Peter: ONE THING THEY KEEP 
TELLING US THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE 
IS THAT YOU'LL RUN.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT I'M ENJOYING THE TIME THAT 
I HAVE HERE.
AND IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE TO 
CONNECT WITH OF THE UNITED 
STATES AND REMIND THEM HOW MUCH 
WE CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY AND 
THAT WE VALUE THE RELATIONSHIP.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
LISTEN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR 
STOPPING BY.
ENJOY THE DAY.
>> YOU, TOO.
>> Peter: RONA AMBROSE.
LET'S QUICKLY GO BACK UP TO THE 
AREA WHERE THE INAUGURATION 
WILL TAKE PLACE.
PAUL HUNTER.
PAUL?
>> Reporter: YOU KNOW, JUST 
PICKING UP ON SOME OF THE 
THINGS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT 
THERE AND THE FACT THAT NOBODY 
REALLY EXPECTED THIS, AND TO 
DRAW BARACK OBAMA BACK INTO IT.
I THINK IT WAS IN ONE OF HIS 
EXIT INTERVIEWS THAT HE HAS 
BEEN DOING RECENTLY OR MAYBE AT 
HIS PRESS CONFERENCE THIS 
WEEKEND, I CAN'T REMEMBER.
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY 
GENEROUS IN TALKING ABOUT 
DONALD TRUMP.
AND ONE OF THE, I THINK, 
VALUABLE THINGS THAT HE SAID 
WAS DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THIS 
GUY.
I MEAN, HE WON THE PRESIDENCY.
THAT IS -- THAT IS NO EASY TASK.
AND HE WENT AND DID THAT.
SO, FOR THOSE WHO THINK, YOU 
KNOW, HE AIN'T READY FOR THE 
JOB, HE CAN'T DO IT, HE IS NO 
GOOD, ALL THE NAYSAYERS, SAYS 
BARACK OBAMA, YOU KNOW, THINK 
ABOUT IT.
HE GOT THIS JOB.
SO THE REAL TEST, OF COURSE, 
BEGINS NOW.
DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF MAY WELL 
SAY YOU SAY ONE THING ON THE 
CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND ANOTHER 
THING IN THE OFFICE.
[CHEERING]
HE IS ABOUT TO TEST THAT SECOND 
PART.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
PAUL, DON'T GO AWAY.
WE'RE JUST KEEPING AN EYE ON 
THE SECONDARY SCREEN WE HAVE 
HERE, THE CLINTONS HAVE ARRIVED.
JIMMY CARTER HAS ARRIVED, IN 
HIS 90s NOW, AND FIGHTING 
HEALTH ISSUES NOT THAT LONG 
AGOMENT BUT HE SEEMS TO BE IN 
MUCH BETTER SHAPE TODAY.
EVERYBODY KEEPING IN MIND THE 
SITUATIONS WITH GEORGE H.W. 
BUSH, NUMBER 41.
THE 41ST PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT BEFORE THE 
CLINTONS.
BEFORE BILL CLINTON WAS THERE.
AND THERE YOU SAW JIMMY CARTER 
IN THE BACKGROUND, ROSALYN 
CARTER AS WELL.
HILLARY CLINTON AND BILL 
CLINTON TAKING THEIR SPOTS IN 
THE AREA.
GEORGE W. BUSH IS HERE.
GEORGE H. BUSH NOT WELL, HAS 
HAD DIFFICULTIES, IS IN 
HOSPITAL IN TEXAS.
AND DEALING WITH COMPLICATIONS 
THAT APPEAR TO BE SURROUNDING 
PNEUMONIA.
BUT ON THE DAY, FORMER 
PRESIDENTS AND SOMEONE WHO 
HOPED TO BE PRESIDENT OBVIOUSLY 
IN HILLARY CLINTON WHO IS ON 
STAGE AND THERE FOR THIS 
SWEARING IN.
PAUL, GIVE US A QUICK SENSE OF 
-- IN JUST 15 SECONDS OR LESS, 
WHAT IT IS LIKE UP THERE 
TEMPERATURE-WISE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Reporter: A LOT -- A LOT 
MILDER THAN IT WAS IN 2009 WHEN 
IT WAS BEYOND BITTERLY COLD.
IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE NICE.
IT'S DRIED UP.
IT'S -- I WANT TO SAY IT'S 
ALMOST PERFECT.
IT'S PRETTY GOOD, PETER.
>> Peter: PAUL, THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH.
WE'LL BE BACK TO FOLLOW UP.
LET'S CHECK IN, REMIND 
EVERYBODY WHY WE'RE HERE.
>> I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR.
>> THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY 
EXECUTE.
>> THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT --
>> OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY 
ABILITIES.
>> PRESERVE.
>> PROTECT.
>> AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
>> OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> SO HELP ME GOD.
>> CONGRATULATIONS, MR. 
PRESIDENT.
[CHEERING]
>> Peter: THERE ARE JUST 35 
WORDS IN THE OATH OF OFFICE.
THREE THAT MATTER.
PRESERVE, PROTECT, DEFEND.
WHAT WILL THEY MEAN TO DONALD 
J. TRUMP?
HOW WILL HE, AS PRESIDENT, 
UPHOLD THEM?
AMERICA IS DIVIDED.
THE WORLD IS ON EDGE.
HIS TERM AND HIS TIME STARTS 
NOW.
THIS IS THE INAUGURATION OF 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
AND GEORGE W. BUSH AND LAURA 
BUSH ARRIVING ON CAPITOL HILL.
YOU CAN SEE THE CLINTONS IN THE 
BACKGROUND.
JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS, HIS 
BACK TO US IN THE FOREGROUND.
AND CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS 
SORT OF IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR 
PICTURE THERE.
HE WILL BE TAKING -- OR GIVING 
THE OATH TO DONALD TRUMP.
HOPEFULLY HE'LL DO BETTER THAN 
HE DID WITH BARACK OBAMA ON THE 
FIRST TIME AROUND BECAUSE HE 
KIND OF MIXED IT UP A LITTLE 
BIT AND THEY HAD TO DO IT AGAIN 
THE NEXT DAY.
THAT'S ALL TAKING PLACE.
WE HAVE OUR REPORTERS ACROSS 
THE WORLD REALLY.
WE HAVE ADRIENNE WHO'S HERE, 
SUSAN ORMISTON IN MOSCOW, 
NAHLAH AYED IN TEHRAN, ROSEY 
BARTON HERE IN WASHINGTON AT 
OUR BUREAU HERE STEVEN D'SOUZA 
IN NEW YORK.
AND HERE'S THE CAPITOL 
BUILDING, ONE OF THE GREAT 
HISTORIC STRUCTURES AROUND THE 
WORLD, RECOGNIZED EVERYWHERE.
THE U.S. CAPITOL.
OPENED UP IN -- AROUND 1800 AS 
THE SHIFT, MANY PEOPLE FORGET 
THAT THE CAPITOL OF THE UNITED 
STATES USED TO BE NEW YORK CITY.
THE CAPITOL BUILDING WAS ONE OF 
THE SIGNATURE MOMENTS WHEN THE 
CAPITOL SHIFTED TO WASHINGTON.
JENNIFER CARROLL IS WITH US 
AGAIN.
FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF 
FLORIDA.
NOT QUITE FLORIDA WEATHER HERE 
TODAY.
>> NOT QUITE.
>> Peter: AS PAUL MENTIONED A 
MOMENT AGO, A LOT WARMER THAN 
IT WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO.
A COUPLE OF THINGS.
SPEECH.
YOU KNOW, THAT SPEECH WILL BE 
AN HOUR FROM NOW.
RIGHT NOW IN ONE HOUR, DONALD 
TRUMP WILL BE STARTING THE 
SPEECH.
AND, YOU KNOW, IS IT GOING TO 
BE THE VERY FORMAL PRESIDENTIAL 
DONALD TRUMP OR WILL IT KIND OF 
A MIX?
WILL WE SEE SOME OF THAT TRUMP 
FIRE THAT WE USED TO SEE IN THE 
CAMPAIGN?
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING 
TO SEE?
>> I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A 
LITTLE BIT MORE SUBDUED.
LAST NIGHT WHEN HE ADDRESSED 
THE CROWD, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT 
MORE SUBDUED AND A MORE 
HUMBLING AND HE TALKED ABOUT 
IT'S FOR THE PEOPLE.
I THINK WE'LL SEE THAT WITH THE 
SAME SPEECH, WITH HIS SPEECH 
TODAY.
THAT SAME HUMILITY THAT CAME 
ABOUT AS HE ADDRESSED THE CROWD 
LAST NIGHT.
>> Peter: EVERYBODY IS TALKING 
ABOUT, AND YOU MENTIONED IT 
BEFORE, THAT HE HAS TO REACH 
OUT.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME ATTEMPT 
HERE TO NOT ONLY MAKE THE CASE 
THAT HE IS GOING TO BE THE 
PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS, 
BUT TO ASK FOR TIME TO SHOW 
THAT HE CAN BE.
DO YOU THINK THERE'S ANY WAY 
THAT MESSAGE CAN BE RECEIVED?
IT'S HARD IN THIS CROWD OF 
PROTESTERS, THE PROTESTERS WHO 
ARE HERE ARE UNLIKELY TO 
RECEIVE IT.
BUT OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, 
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE 
SKEPTICAL.
THEY'RE HOPEFUL.
BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN 
OUT OF WORK AND LOSING THEIR 
HOME AND CANNOT FIND A JOB 
THROUGH THE JOB MARKET 
SITUATIONS FOR SO LONG, THEY'RE 
HOPEFUL.
SO, THOSE THAT SUPPORT HIM WILL 
SUPPORT HIM WHATEVER.
AND THOSE THAT ARE ON THE FENCE 
WILL MAKE SURE THAT HE DOES 
WHAT HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO DO.
>> Peter: THERE THEY ARE, 
ARRIVING ON CAPITOL HILL.
THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT AND THE 
INCOMING PRESIDENT.
YOU KNOW, ANYBODY WHO KNOWS THE 
HISTORY OF THESE TWO MEN, AND 
YOU KNOW IT, IT IS SURPRISING 
TO SEE THAT AT LEAST THEY LOOK 
LIKE THEY'RE GETTING ALONG.
>> WELL, THEY HAVE TO.
BECAUSE THAT IS THE HEALING 
PROCESS.
WHEN YOU HAVE SUCH A BATTLE 
THAT OCCURRED IN THE PRIMARY 
AND THE GENERAL ELECTION, THAT 
THIS IS HOW YOU BRING THE 
COUNTRY TOGETHER.
THIS IS HOW YOU GAVE UP UNITY.
>> Peter: IT GOES BEYOND JUST 
THE CAMPAIGN.
IT GOES BACK TO THE WHOLE 
BIRTHER ISSUE.
>> IT DOES.
NOT ONLY THAT, WELL IT WAS VERY 
FIERCE BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE 
BIRTHER ISSUE AND THEN THE 
OTHER ISSUES WITH REGARDS TO 
THE HEALTH CARE, THAT WAS 
OBJECTIONABLE AND OTHER POLICIS 
THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTED TO 
BRING ABOUT.
SO BETWEEN THE 
REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED HOUSE AND 
SENATE AND THEN PRESIDENT OBAMA 
NOT GETTING SOME OF HIS 
MEASURES PASSED AND THEN THE 
EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT PRESIDENT 
OBAMA UNILATERALLY IMPLEMENTED, 
THOSE CONTENTIOUS THINGS REALLY 
BROUGHT US TO WHERE WE ARE 
TODAY.
>> Peter: SOME OF THE TRUMP 
FAMILY HEADING IN NOW AS ERIC 
TRUMP AND TIFFANY MAPLES, 
IVANKA.
YEP.
DONALD JR. AND ERIC AND BARRON, 
THE 10-YEAR-OLD SON.
THEY'RE ALL GOING IN, GETTING 
READY TO TAKE THEIR SPOTS OUT 
THERE ON THE PODIUM.
FOR THIS WHOLE PROCESS, THE 
SWEARING IN OF BOTH THE VICE 
PRESIDENT AND THEN THE 
PRESIDENT AS WELL.
ALL WILL BE WITNESSED BY THE 
OUTGOING PRESIDENT, BARACK 
OBAMA AND MICHELLE OBAMA.
SO IT WILL BE QUITE A 
COLLECTION THERE.
>> AND JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS 
WILL BE ADMINISTERING THE OATH 
TO THE VICE PRESIDENT.
>> Peter: HE IS.
AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT, 
WELL IT IS THE FIRST TIME AN 
AFRICAN AMERICAN JUSTICE OF THE 
SUPREME COURT WILL HAVE 
ADMINISTERED AN OATH.
BUT IS THERE ANYTHING BEYOND 
THAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU 
WATCH HIM DO THAT?
>> WHEN YOU WATCH THE OATH?
WELL --
>> Peter: BY CLARENCE THOMAS.
>> WELL, CLARENCE THOMAS, HE IS 
ALSO LOOKING AT DIVIDE IN THIS 
COUNTRY.
CLARENCE THOMAS HAD BEEN A 
POLARIZING FIGURE, TOO, WITH 
DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY'VE SEEN 
HIM AS NOT BEING TRULY AN 
AFRICAN AMERICAN.
BUT, YOU KNOW, HE IS ON THE 
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
HE HAS MADE HISTORY IN BEING 
NOMINATED AND BEING APPOINTED 
TO THE SUPREME COURT.
AND IT IS WHAT IT IS.
IT'S HISTORIC.
AND THIS IS HISTORIC IN ITSELF.
PRESIDENT OBAMA, I MEAN 
PRESIDENT-TO-BE DONALD TRUMP, 
HE HAS TO TAKE HIS OATH AT 
12:00.
NOON TODAY.
SO, IT IS ALL TIMING IN THIS 
EVENT TODAY.
>> Peter: AND THAT WILL BE 
GIVEN BY JOHN ROBERTS, THE 
CHIEF JUSTICE.
BECAUSE AS WE WERE SAYING, HE 
DID MESS IT UP IN 2009 AND THEY 
LITERALLY HAD TO DO IT AGAIN 
THE NEXT DAY TO GET THE ORDER 
OF THE WORDS RIGHT AND THERE 
WAS A QUESTION ABOUT LEGITIMACY.
[APPLAUSE]
>> THE WORDS HAVE TO BE SPOKEN 
EXACTLY AS PER THE 
CONSTITUTION, THE 20TH 
AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
>> Peter: SO, DONALD TRUMP JR. 
AND HIS SISTER IVANKA NOW 
TAKING -- AND SHE IS GOING TO 
BE A POWERHOUSE, EVERYBODY 
SAYS, IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
HER HUSBAND WILL BE JARED 
KUSHNER WHO WE SAW EARLIER 
ARRIVING AT HIS SPOT.
IS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL 
COUNCILOR TO THE NEW PRESIDENT.
AND THAT IS HIM THERE, AS YOU 
SAW JUST GOT KISSED BY HIS WIFE.
AND WE SAW THE PRESIDENT 
TALKING LAST NIGHT ABOUT HOW IF 
THERE WAS EVER GOING TO BE 
MIDDLE EAST PEACE, IT WOULD BE 
RESOLVED BY JARED KUSHNER.
NOT TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
>> WELL, LET'S SEE.
MANY HAVE TRIED BEFORE.
WE'LL SEE.
WE CAN ONLY HOPE.
AND ONE THING THAT WE HAVEN'T 
TALKED ABOUT, THAT USUALLY IS 
DISCUSSED PARTICULARLY IN THE 
TMZEs OF THE WORLD IS GOING TO 
BE THE FACTION.
-- TO BE THE FASHION.
WHAT STYLE AND WHAT THE WOMEN 
ARE WEARING.
AND FIRST WITH MRS. OBAMA, IT 
WAS WHAT STYLE IS SHE WEARING 
AND WHO WAS THE DESIGNER FOR 
HER CLOTHING.
SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO 
HEAR THE CHATTER ABOUT THE 
DESIGNERS FOR THE FIRST LADY TO 
BE.
>> Peter: I WON'T BE GOING 
THERE.
>> I HOPE NOT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Peter: I'M NOT TOO GOOD ON 
THAT.
AND, ANYWAY, THE TRUMP FAMILY 
AND, YOU KNOW, IT IS A 
SIGNIFICANT FAMILY IN TERMS OF 
NUMBERS.
AND ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE -- 
THERE ARE MANY OF THEM, AT 
LEAST, THAT ARE GOING TO BE 
PLAYERS IN WHAT DEVELOPS OVER 
THE MONTHS AND YEARS AHEAD.
>> YOU KNOW, YOU SAID SOMETHING 
VERY INTERESTING, THAT THEY'RE 
GOING TO BE PLAYERS.
DONALD TRUMP THROUGHOUT THE 
CAMPAIGN HAS RELIED UPON HIS 
CHILDREN VERY HEAVILY FOR THE 
BUSINESS AS WELL AS CAMPAIGNING 
AND ADVISING.
SO, HE VALUES THEIR OPINION 
VERY MUCH AND THEIR LEADERSHIP.
SO, THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE HE IS 
GOING TO HAVE THEM VERY CLOSE 
BY.
>> Peter: YOU SEE IN THE BOX 
DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR 
SCREEN, THE PROTESTS THAT ARE 
GOING ON IN A NUMBER OF PLACES.
AND WHEN YOU SEE PROTESTERS 
ARRIVING WITH MASKS ON, YOU 
KNOW, THEY OBVIOUSLY DO THIS TO 
CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITIES.
BUT THEY'RE OFTEN PRETTY 
ORGANIZED AND PRETTY PLANNED 
PROTESTS.
THERE'S THE PEPPER SPRAY BEING 
USED BY SOME OF THE OFFICERS 
TRYING TO CONTROL THE CROWDS AS 
THEY SKIRT BY ONE OF THE AREAS 
THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO -- BY 
SECURITY TO CHECK THE CROWDS 
COMING IN.
SO, HERE'S THE LONG SHOT OF THE 
MALL.
>> BARACK OBAMA HAD BY FAR THE 
MOST.
>> Peter: AND IT WAS STACKED 
BACK TO THE MONUMENT.
>> YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE THE 
PAVEMENT.
AT ALL.
>> Peter: THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY ARE EXPECTING IN THE 
800,000 TO 900,000.
WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT TURNS OUT 
AND THERE WILL BE VARIOUS 
ESTIMATES I'M SURE OVER THE 
NEXT HOURS AND PROBABLY THE 
NEXT DAYS.
>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS EXCITING 
FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE ATTENDING, 
THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT IS OUT 
THERE.
IT IS NOT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP 
HIMSELF.
IT'S ABOUT THE TRANSITION OF 
POWER.
IT IS ABOUT THE CEREMONIAL 
ASPECT.
IT'S ABOUT BEING A PART OF 
HISTORY MAKING.
THIS IS CIVICS LESSON IN ACTION.
AND SO THEY WANT TO SAY I WAS 
THERE AT THE MOMENT OF -- 
AS OPPOSED TO I'M THERE TO 
SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP.
YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW MANY 
PEOPLE THAT ARE ATTENDING WHO 
DID NOT SUPPORT OR VOTE FOR 
DONALD TRUMP AND/OR WEREN'T 
EVEN ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.
BUT THEY'RE HERE BECAUSE THEY 
WANT TO BE PART OF THE PROCESS.
THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THIS 
HISTORICAL ASPECT OF THE 
TRANSITION OF POWER.
>> Peter: PAUL, YOU'RE LOOKING 
AT SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN 
AMERICAN POLITICS FROM BOTH 
SIDES OF THE AISLE.
IT IS QUITE A SIGHT.
>> Reporter: WHAT I FOUND QUITE 
REMARKABLE IS A COUPLE OF 
THINGS.
ONE, EVERYBODY IS TAKING 
SELFIES.
EVERYBODY IS TAKING PHONES OUT 
AND SNAPPING PICTURES OF EACH 
OTHER.
SOMEBODY WENT UP TOWARDS GEORGE 
W. BUSH AND LAURA AND ASKED FOR 
A PHOTO WITH THEM.
SO, THEY'RE JUST LIKE REGULAR 
PEOPLE.
EVERYBODY'S GOING UP AND 
GETTING SOUVENIRS.
MAN, OH, MAN, AS I STAND AND 
TALK TO YOU NOW, THERE THEY ARE 
IN A ROW, JIMMY CARTER, BILL 
CLINTON, HILLARY CLINTON, 
GEORGE W. BUSH, LAURA.
IT'S SORT OF INCREDIBLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S SOMETHING ELSE, PETER.
>> Peter: YOU COVERED THAT 
CAMPAIGN AND SPENT A LOT OF 
TIME WATCHING TRUMP AND 
CLINTON, HILLARY CLINTON, 
THROUGHOUT THAT.
AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT 
WONDERING WHAT BARACK OBAMA AND 
DONALD TRUMP ARE LIKELY 
THINKING OF EACH OTHER AND 
SAYING TO EACH OTHER ON THAT 
RIDE UP TO CAPITOL HILL.
YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AT HILLARY 
CLINTON AND WONDER THE THOUGHTS 
THAT CROSS THROUGH HER MIND ON 
A DAY LIKE THIS.
>> Reporter: SHE HAS A SMILE ON 
HER FACE TODAY, PETER.
AND THAT'S TO HER CREDIT.
AND SHE HAS BEEN, I DON'T KNOW, 
GENEROUS IS THE RIGHT WORD.
BUT HER DEMEANOR IN THE LITTLE 
BITS AND PIECES THAT WE'VE SEEN 
HER, THE HILLARY IN THE WILD 
HASHTAG AND SUCH.
BUT I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
I MEAN, I THINK -- REMEMBER 
ELECTION NIGHT WHEN SHE DIDN'T 
SHOW UP.
UNTIL THE NEXT DAY.
IT JUST STRUCK ME AS MOST THAT 
SHE WAS EVISCERATED BY THAT.
IT'S HARD.
POLITICS IS A GAME.
WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF IT IN OUR 
TIME, PETER, AND I GET THE 
FEELING THAT SHE COULDN'T 
BELIEVE IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, LIKEWISE TO A 
DEGREE BARACK OBAMA AND THE 
SMALL TALK HE MADE STARTING IN 
THAT VISIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE 
WITH DONALD TRUMP.
WHICH, BY THE WAY, DONALD TRUMP 
THOUGHT WOULD LAST 15 MINUTES 
AND WENT A LOT LONGER THAN THAT.
BUT BARACK OBAMA HAS EMPHASIZED 
THROUGHOUT THIS LAST COUPLE OF 
MONTHS THAT THEY WILL DO 
WHATEVER THEY CAN TO ENSURE 
THAT THE TRANSITION GOES 
SMOOTHLY AND THAT HIS 
PRESIDENCY BEGINS ON THE RIGHT 
FOOT BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS IT 
TO SUCCEED.
THIS IS THEIR COUNTRY AT THE 
END OF THE DAY AND I THINK ALSO 
THERE'S ONE THOING KEEP IN MIND 
IN ALL OF THIS, PETER, IS WHEN 
YOU TALK ABOUT THE POPULAR 
VOTE, WENT TO HILLARY CLINTON.
ANOTHER FACTOR IN WHAT SHE IS 
THINKING RIGHT NOW.
BUT AS WE WERE TALKING ON 
ELECTION NIGHT, TENS OF 
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS VOTED FOR 
DONALD TRUMP.
FOR A REASON.
BECAUSE HIS CORE MESSAGE MEANT 
SOMETHING TO THEM.
SO, WHEN HE GIVES HIS INAUGURAL 
ADDRESS TODAY, THINK ABOUT THIS 
AS WELL.
HE HAS RESONATED WITH MILLIONS 
AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS.
AND THERE'S VALUE IN THAT.
>> Peter: YEAH.
IT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT AND AS 
JENNIFER WAS MENTIONING EARLIER 
TO US, PART OF TODAY WILL BE 
THE EXPECTATION OF THOSE TENSE 
OF MILLIONS WHO VOTED FOR HIM 
THAT IS HE GOING TO DELIVER, 
WILL WE GET A SIGNAL TODAY OF 
WHEN HE IS GOING TO DELIVER ON 
THE THINGS THAT -- THE PROMISES 
MADE AND THE REASONS WHY I 
VOTED FOR HIM.
THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.
YOU KNOW, IT'S UNLIKELY THAT, 
YOU KNOW, THE INAUGURAL 
SPEECHES DON'T USUALLY DEAL 
WITH SPECIFIC ISSUES.
BUT MORE IN TERMS OF BROAD 
THEMES.
BUT EVEN IN THE BROAD THEMES, 
ONE ASSUMES THEY WILL BE 
LISTENING CLOSELY AND WATCHING 
CLOSELY TO SEE WHETHER THE 
BOXES THAT THEY TICKED OFF IN 
THEIR MIND, THE REASON WHY THEY 
VOTED THE WAY THEY VOTED, WILL 
BE IN THIS SPEECH.
SO MORE TO KEEP IN MIND AND TO 
WATCH IN THESE HOURS AHEAD.
MORE PEOPLE ARRIVING HERE.
MICHELLE OBAMA COMING DOWN THE 
STAIRS NOW.
AND JOE BIDEN'S WIFE.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU 
LOOK AT MICHELLE OBAMA, WHO'S 
GOT SUCH A GREAT REPUTATION 
AFTER HER EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE 
HERE, YOU KIND OF LOOK AT HER 
IN THESE LAST FEW DAYS AND IT 
IS LIKE, OK, FINALLY.
IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH EIGHT YEARS 
ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT FRONTS.
IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE 
TIRING NATURE OF IT.
AND HERE'S THE OPPORTUNITY NOW, 
THEY'RE HEADING OFF TO PALM 
SPRINGS IN CALIFORNIA TO TAKE A 
BREAK.
SO, THE POSITIONING TAKES PLACE.
GOVERNOR RICK PERRY.
WHO'S THE DESIGNATED ENERGY 
CABINET SECRETARY.
WHICH IS ALWAYS IRONIC SEEING 
THAT --
[LAUGHTER]
HE PROMISED TO KILL THAT 
DEPARTMENT IF HE EVER GOT THE 
NOMINATION.
>> THAT WAS AMNESIA.
HE GOT HIS MEMORY BACK WHEN HE 
TESTIFIED BEFORE COMMITTEE.
>> Peter: BERNIE SANDERS, HERE 
WAS A GUY THAT NO ONE EXPECTED 
COULD DO ANYTHING.
SITTING NEXT TO JOHN McCAIN 
TODAY.
WHO GOT THE SUPPORT OF MILLIONS 
OF AMERICANS.
IN SOME WAYS TO WHAT TRUMP WAS.
TALKING ABOUT HIS --
>> BERNIE SANDERS TAPPED INTO 
THE MILLENIALS WHICH HILLARY 
CLINTON FAILED TO DO.
SHE COULD NOT DO IT BECAUSE SHE 
WAS OF A DIFFERENT GENERATION 
AND SPOKE DIFFERENTLY TO THEM.
AND HE CAPTURE WHAT HAD SHE 
NEEDED TO WIN.
[CHEERING]
>> AND THE PRESIDENT AND VICE 
PRESIDENT'S WIVES COMING OUT.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Peter: THIS IS THE AREA 
IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE 
STAGE AREA, THE TICKETED AREA.
MICHELLE OBAMA.
JIMMY CARTER THERE IN THE 
BACKGROUND.
JILL BIDEN, THE VICE 
PRESIDENT'S WIFE.
W, AS HE'S KNOWN.
GEORGE W. BUSH.
STANDING NEXT TO HILLARY 
CLINTON AND THEY WERE 
CONVERSATION THERE A FEW 
MOMENTS AGO.
>> I WONDER, THE MEDIA WAS 
GIVEN A COPY OF 
PRESIDENT-TO-BE, 
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP'S SPEECH.
I WONDER IF PRESIDENT-ELECT 
TRUMP WILL TWEET HIS SPEECH OUT 
BEFORE HE GIVES IT.
BARACK OBAMA WAS THE FIRST TO 
WEBCAM HIS SPEECH AS WELL AS 
HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONING.
AND PRESIDENT CLINTON, AS WE 
SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, HE WAS 
THE FIRST TO DO HIS STREAMING 
LIVE ON THE INTERNET.
CALVIN COOLIDGE WAS THE FIRST 
TO DO HIS ON THE RADIO.
SO, LET'S SEE WHAT 
PRESIDENT-TO-BE TRUMP TWEETS 
HIS OUT, AND WHETHER THAT IS 
HISTORIC OR NOT.
>> Peter: LET'S CHECK IN WITH 
ROSEY, IF WE GOT HER AT LEAST 
ON AUDIO-WISE TO -- WONDERING 
IN TERMS OF WHETHER THERE'S 
BEEN ANY SOCIAL MEDIA BREAKING 
THE SPEECH.
IS THERE ANYTHING OUT THERE 
YET, ROSEY?
>> Rosemary: THERE ISN'T.
CAN I ANSWER YOUR OTHER BURNING 
QUESTION THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW 
THE ANSWER TO, BECAUSE I DO 
CARE WHAT MELANIA IS WEARING.
SHE IS --
[LAUGHTER]
SHE IS WEARING RALPH LAUREN.
SHE IS WEARING AMERICAN 
DESIGNER RALPH LAUREN.
AND HERE'S WHY THAT'S A STORY.
BECAUSE A LOT OF AMERICAN 
FASHION DESIGNERS, JUST LIKE 
AMERICAN CELEBRITIES, DECIDED 
THEY WERE GOING TO BOYCOTT THE 
TRUMPS AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN 
GOING TO OFFER ANYTHING TO 
MELANIA.
THEY DIDN'T WANT HER WEARING 
THE CLOTHES.
SO SOMEHOW SHE'S MANAGED TO GET 
A RALPH LAUREN OUTFIT.
YOU'LL SEE HERE LATER IN THAT.
THAT ANSWERS THAT BURNING 
QUESTION.
THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR.
THE OTHER THING -- WE DID GET A 
TWEET FROM HILLARY CLINTON.
BECAUSE I --
>> Peter: HERE'S MELANIA TRUMP 
RIGHT NOW.
>> Rosemary: YES.
THERE SHE IS IN HER RALPH 
LAUREN.
WE GOT A TWEET FROM HILLARY 
CLINTON BECAUSE I THINK 
EVERYBODY WATCHING HILLARY 
CLINTON'S FACE TODAY IS 
WONDERING WHAT'S GOING THROUGH 
HER MIND.
REMEMBER, IT'S BECAUSE SHE 
HAPPENS TO BE MARRIED TO THE 
FORMER PRESIDENT THAT SHE IS 
THERE.
SO, SHE TWEETED TODAY, I'M HERE 
TODAY TO HONOR OUR DEMOCRACY.
AND ITS ENDURING VALUES.
I WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN 
OUR COUNTRY AND ITS FUTURE.
I WOULD SAY THAT HER FACE IS 
ONE OF RESIGNATION AND SHE 
OBVIOUSLY SEEMS TO BE FEELING 
THE MOMENT AND THE LOSS, WHICH 
WAS A BITTER ONE.
AND SHE, I THINK, AS WELL AS SO 
MANY PEOPLE, SO MANY DEMOCRATS 
THAT ARE OUT THERE ON THE 
STREET PROTESTING AND OTHERS, 
WILL WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING 
FROM THE PRESIDENT ABOUT UNITY 
AND ABOUT MAINTAINING DEMOCRACY.
ONE OF THINGS WE'RE NOT TALKING 
ABOUT, WEB TALK ABOUT IT MORE 
THROUGHOUT THE COVERAGE, 
THOUGH, IS THE POTENTIAL FOR 
PROBLEMS FOR THIS FAMILY THAT 
WE'RE SEEING IN FRONT OF US FOR 
THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE 
PRESIDENT HAS NOT DIVESTED 
HIMSELF OF HIS PERSONAL 
BUSINESSES.
THAT HE HAS BROUGHT JARED 
KUSHNER, HIS DAUGHTER, INTO THE 
WHITE HOUSE IN ADVISER ROLES.
HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK AND 
WHAT KIND OF POTENTIAL 
CONFLICTS WILL OPEN UP THERE?
THERE ARE SOME REAL PROBLEMS 
THAT MAY VERY QUICKLY DEVELOP 
ON THAT FRONT.
>> Peter: THANK YOU.
AND THANK YOU IN PARTICULAR FOR 
UPDATING US ON THE DRESS.
ON THE FASHION.
>> Rosemary: BETTER COMING FROM 
ME THAN YOU.
>> Peter: WE'LL ADD THAT TO 
YOUR BIOG NOW.
ROSEY BARTON WATCHING THAT FOR 
US FROM OUR BUREAU IN 
WASHINGTON AND MONITORING NOT 
ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT WHAT IS 
HAPPENING ON THE STREETS AND 
KEEPING US UP TO DATE ON THAT.
[APPLAUSE]
JENNIFER, AS WE WATCH THE 
MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY, 
ESPECIALLY MELANIA TRUMP COMING 
OUT NOW --
>> MRS. PENCE.
>> Peter: ONE ASSUMES THIS HAS 
NOT BEEN AN EASY FEW MONTHS.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF STUFF 
SAID ABOUT HER HUSBAND, A LOT 
OF STUFF HAS BEEN PUT OUT INTO 
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN ABOUT HER 
HUSBAND.
AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH WOMEN 
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY 
DIFFICULT FOR HER.
HOW HAS SHE HANDLED IT?
>> WELL, WHEN SHE GAVE 
INTERVIEWS TO BARBARA WALTERS 
AND OTHERS, SHE SAY IT WAS VERY 
HARD TO HEAR THAT BECAUSE 
THAT'S NOT THE MAN THAT SHE 
KNOWS.
SHE SAYS HE COULD COME ACROSS A 
LITTLE HARSH, BUT HE HAS A 
PASSIONATE HEART.
AND WE WILL SEE THAT AS HE 
GOVERNS HERE BECAUSE HIS 
CABINET HAS VERY FEW WOMEN, 
SURPRISINGLY, CONSIDERING HIS 
BUSINESSES HE PRIDED HIMSELF 
DURING THE CAMPAIGN TO HAVE A 
LOT OF WOMEN IN EXECUTIVE 
POSITIONS.
SO, WE'LL SEE AS HE PLANS ON 
HIS CABINET AND HOW THE MAKEUP 
GOES THAT IF HE INCLUDES MORE 
WOMEN AND HAVE A LOOK AT MORE 
DIVERSITY THAT WAY IN HIS 
ADMINISTRATION WILL GO A LONG 
WAYS FOR HIM.
>> Peter: WERE YOU DISAPPOINTED 
IN THAT?
>> I WAS AND THAT I DIDN'T SEE 
MORE MINORITIS IN HIS SELECTION 
OF SECRETARIES.
BUT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE WILL 
LAST MAYBE TWO, FIVE YEARS IF 
HE GOES INTO A SECOND TERM.
AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A CHANGE OF 
THOSE SECRETARIES AS WELL.
>> Peter: BARACK OBAMA, JOE 
BIDEN.
PRETTY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP THOSE 
TWO MEN HAVE HAD OVER EIGHT 
YEARS AND THEN YOU SAW THE 
PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM 
THAT BARACK OBAMA GAVE TO JOE 
BIDEN JUST LAST WEEK.
SO, BARACK OBAMA WILL BE 
INTRODUCED AND TAKE HIS PLACE.
AND TO ROSEY'S POINT ABOUT 
HILLARY CLINTON AND SEEING THE 
DEFEATED CANDIDATE UP THERE ON 
THIS PODIUM, IT DOES RARELY 
HAPPEN AND ROSEY IS QUITE 
CORRECT, IT IS HAPPENING TODAY 
NOT BECAUSE SHE WAS THE 
DEFEATED CANDIDATE, BUT BECAUSE 
SHE IS THE WIFE OF A FORMER 
PRESIDENT.
YOU KNOW, YOU GOTTA GO BACK 
THROUGH THE OLD MOVIE REELS TO 
SEE ANOTHER COMPARISON.
ONE WAS 1961.
WHEN JOHN KENNEDY GAVE HIS 
INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FILM, YOU 
GO JEE, THERE'S RICHARD NIXON.
WHAT IS HE DOING THERE, HE LOST?
BUT HE WAS THERE BECAUSE HE WAS 
VICE PRESIDENT TO DWIGHT 
EISENHOWER.
BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN.
>> THIS IS DÉJA VU FOR HILLARY 
CLINTON AND IT MUST BE VERY, 
VERY HARD FOR HER TO REALLY 
SWALLOW THAT POISON PILL THAT 
DOESN'T TASTE VERY GOOD.
AND TO SIT THERE AND SMILE AND 
STILL LOOK GRACIOUSLY.
>> THE HONORABLE BARACK H. 
OBAMA AND THE HONORABLE VICE 
PRESIDENT JOSEPH R. BIDEN, AND 
SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER 
CHARLES SCHUMER AND HOUSE 
DEMOCRATIC LEADER NANCY PELOSI.
[APPLAUSE]
>> GETTING A RESOUNDING 
APPLAUSE.
>> Peter: SOME OF THE 
DEMOCRATS, AND YOU SAW AND 
MAYBE WE'LL SEE AGAIN HERE IN A 
MOMENT ON NANCY PELOSI, THAT 
BLUE BUTTON THAT SOME OF THE 
DEMOCRATS ARE WEARING IS 
PROTECT OBAMACARE, WHICH IS ONE 
OF THOSE THINGS THAT REPEAL AND 
REPLACE THAT TRUMP PROMISES HE 
WILL DO WITH THE SIGNATURE 
PROGRAM OF THE OBAMA YEARS.
OBAMACARE, THE HEALTH CARE 
PROGRAM.
>> WELL, INITIALLY MR. TRUMP 
HAD SAID DURING THE CAMPAIGN 
THAT WAS GOING TO REPEAL ALL, 
HE SAID ALL OF PRESIDENT 
OBAMA'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
I DOUBT WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT 
MONDAY WHEN HE STARTS WORK.
WE MAY SEE THINGS FOR 
IMMIGRATION, SOME OF THE 
EXECUTIVE ORDERS FOR 
IMMIGRATION AND WE COULD SEE 
THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE, WHICH 
WILL BENEFIT CANADA AND JOBS 
FROM NEBRASKA AND SOUTH DAKOTA 
COME ABOUT.
IN A SHORT ORDER.
HE ALSO SAID THAT WAS ONE OF 
HIS PRIORITIES TO RESCIND.
>> Peter: YOU OUT THING COME TO 
JENNIFER, CANADA, AND NOT 
EVERYBODY THINKS THAT IT WILL 
BENEFIT --
[LAUGHTER]
>> TRUE.
TRUE.
BUT IT MAY COME WAY OR ANOTHER 
AND IF IT BENEFITS, IT WILL BE 
GREAT.
>> Peter: IT MAY.
>> THAT WILL BE SOMETHING.
IF WE HAVE THE ENERGY 
INDEPENDENCE MR. TRUMP IS 
TALKING ABOUT, THAT IS GOING TO 
REALLY IMFEED ECONOMY IN RUSSIA.
SO, THEY MAY NEED HAVE THE 
MONEY TO FUEL THEIR ARMY TO DO 
THE THINGS LIKE INVADING IN 
CRIMEA AND OTHER MILITARY 
ACTIVITIES THAT THEY'VE BEEN 
ENGAGED IN OF LATE.
SO, THAT COULD BE A CRIPPLING 
EFFECT IF AMERICA REALLY STOOD 
ON ITS OWN FOR ENERGY 
INDEPENDENCE.
>> Peter: WELL, THE NEXT PERSON 
EXITING THOSE DOORS OR THE NEXT 
OFFICIAL DIGNITARY THAT COMES 
OUT OF THOSE DOORS WILL BE 
DONALD TRUMP.
AND YOU CAN HEAR SOME IN THE 
CROWD ARE STARTING TO CALL HIS 
NAME AND THERE YOU SEE IN THE 
BACKGROUND PAUL RYAN, THE 
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
>> KEVIN McCARTHY.
THERE'S THE TRUMPSTER.
LARGER THAN LIFE HIMSELF.
>> Peter: THE TRUMPSTER.
I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT.
[CHEERING]
[LAUGHTER]
>> THE LAST TIME I'LL BE ABLE 
TO DO THAT.
HE WILL BE PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AFTER THIS.
HE HAS A LONG TIE THERE.
>> Peter: HE DOES.
WHAT IS HE LIKE WHEN THE 
CAMERAS ARE OFF?
>> I WONDER IF THAT IS A TRUMP 
TIE HE HAS ON.
>> Peter: YEAH.
WHAT IS HE LIKE?
YOU'VE HAD THE CHANCE TO TALK 
-- WHAT IS HE LIKE WHEN THE 
CAMERAS AREN'T THERE?
>> HE IS REALLY DOWN TO EARTH.
HE IS A REALLY PERSONABLE 
PERSON AND HE LOVES PEOPLE.
HE LOVES BEING AROUND PEOPLE, 
BUT HE ALSO LOVES A CHALLENGE.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT MAKES HIM 
TICK.
>> Peter: HE HAS A BIG 
CHALLENGE NOW.
>> A HUGE CHALLENGE.
IF HE THINKS THE CAMPAIGN WAS A 
CHALLENGE, HE HAS THE WHOLE 
WORLD ON HIS SHOULDERS STARTING 
TODAY.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN HIS 
FACE.
HE IS TAKING THIS VERY 
SERIOUSLY.
THE MOMENT IS STARTING TO HIT.
WHEN I WAS AN ELECTED 
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND TAKE 
OATH OF OFFICE, THE MOMENT HITS 
YOU LIKE THIS IS REALLY REAL.
IT IS COMING TO FRUITION NOW.
>> Peter: YOU SAW HIM POINT AT 
THE CAMERAS THERE.
TWO YEARS AGO, THIS WAS A 
REALITY TV STAR.
AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE 
HEAD OF A BIG BUSINESS EMPIRE.
BUT, YOU KNOW, HIS NAME WAS 
MADE BY THAT REALITY TV 
PROGRAM, EXTEND --
>> Announcer: LADIES AND 
GENTLEMEN, VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT 
MICHAEL RICHARD PENCE.
[CHEERING]
>> Peter: THERE'S MIKE PENCE 
WHO WILL BE VICE PRESIDENT IN 
JUST A FEW MOMENTS.
>> GETTING A NICE RECEPTION OUT 
THERE.
>> Peter: AS WE SAID, IT WILL 
BE CLARENCE THOMAS, THE SUPREME 
COURT JUSTICE.
25 YEARS NOW SINCE CLARENCE 
THOMAS MADE THE SUPREME COURT.
HE WILL GIVE THE OATH OF OFFICE 
TO MIKE PENCE.
>> MIKE PENCE IS GOING TO BE 
THE VOICE OF REASON AND THE 
ROLLER COASTER THAT DONALD 
TRUMP IS GOING TO NEED TO 
GOVERN.
>> Peter: THEY TALK ABOUT HIM 
AS IF HE WOULD BE LIKE A PRIME 
MINISTER.
A PRIME MINISTER-PRESIDENT 
RELATIONSHIP.
>> SINCE DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT 
HAVE THE EXPERIENCE IN 
GOVERNMENT, AND MIKE PENCE HAS 
A LOT OF FRIENDS ACROSS THE 
AISLE AND THE EXPERIENCE IN 
GOVERNMENT, BOTH AT THE STATE 
LEVEL AND THE NATIONAL LEVEL, 
HE'S GOING TO NEED HIM AND HE 
SHOULD USE HIM TO GUIDE HIM 
THROUGH THIS PROCESS SO HE 
DOESN'T FALL INTO THE LAND 
MINES THAT HE WOULD NORMALLY 
OTHERWISE IF HE DIDN'T HAVE THE 
LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE ALONGSIDE 
OF HIM.
>> Peter: THERE IS THE 
SECRETARY OF STATE NOMINEE 
TILLERSON IN THE BACKGROUND 
THERE.
>> YEAH.
DONALD TRUMP IS STARTING TODAY 
WITH NOT ONE SECRETARY BEING 
VOTED IN BY THE SENATE.
>> Peter: AND THAT IS UNUSUAL.
>> IT IS.
>> Peter: THE NUMBERS COMING 
IN, HIS APPROVAL RATINGS ARE 
INCREDIBLY LOW.
>> IT'S LOW, BUT HIGHER THAN IT 
WAS DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
[LAUGHTER]
I GUESS THERE'S ROOM TO GROW.
>> Announcer: LADIES AND 
GENTLEMEN, ESCORTING THE 
PRESIDENT-ELECT, THE STAFF 
DIRECTOR --
>> HE IS A PERSONAL GUY AS WELL.
I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO HAVE A 
DISCUSSION WITH HIM.
HE LOVES BEING AROUND PEOPLE.
>> Announcer: THE 
SERGEANT-AT-ARMS, OLIVER 
MURPHY, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE 
JOINT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE 
ON INAUGURAL CEREMONIES, ROY 
BLUNT AND --
>> Peter: SO, WE'RE GETTING 
CLOSE NOW.
>> Announcer: SPEAKER OF THE 
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, PAUL 
D. RYAN, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER 
MITCH MCCONNELL, HOUSE MAJORITY 
LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY AND HOUSE 
DEMOCRATIC LEADER NANCY PELOSI.
[APPLAUSE]
>> IT IS INTERESTING.
YOU WAIT UNTIL DONALD TRUMP 
GIVES HIS FIRST STATE OF THE 
UNION SPEECH AND YOU'LL HAVE 
THE SAME DEMOCRATS THAT OPPOSED 
HIM STAYING IN THE CHAMBER 
EARLY HOURS JUST TO GET TO 
SHAKE HIS HAND WHEN HE COMES IN.
[LAUGHTER]
IT'S AMAZING HOW THIS WHOLE 
PROCESS WORKS WITH THESE GUYS.
>> Peter: YEAH.
AS WE SAW WITH THE REPUBLICANS 
AND OBAMA.
>> EXACTLY.
THEY WERE THERE JUST TO SHAKE 
HIS HAND.

WAS WONDERING WHETHER THAT 
MIGHT HAPPEN.
>> WE'LL SEE.
THE WAY IT IS POSITIONED IN 
FRONT OF HIM, SO MIKE SENSE I 
THINK HAD MORE TIME TO DO SO.
[CHEERING]
THE CROWD HAS FILLED IN CLOSER 
UP.
I WAS HERE FOR BUSH 41'S 
INAUGURAL AND IT WAS COLD, WET 
AND SNOWING.
I WAS MISERABLE.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HAND IT 
OVER HERE TO THE EMCEE, IF YOU 
WILL, OF WHAT IS GOING TO

>> MR. PRESIDENT, MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT, MR. PRESIDENT-ELECT, 
MR. VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT, 
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME 
TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE 45TH 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
TODAY THE LEGISLATIVE, THE 
EXECUTIVE, THE JUDICIAL 
BRANCHES OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL 
GOVERNMENT COME TOGETHER FOR 
THE 58TH INAUGURATION OF THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE 
WORLD WILL WATCH AND WILL 
LISTEN TO THIS EVENT.
36 YEARS AGO, IN HIS FIRST 
INAUGURATION, IT WAS ALSO THE 
FIRST INAUGURATION ON THIS SIDE 
OF THE CAPITOL, PRESIDENT 
RONALD REAGAN SAID THAT WHAT WE 
DO HERE IS BOTH COMMONPLACE AND 
MIRACULOUS.
COMMONPLACE EVERY FOUR YEARS 
SINCE 1789 WHEN PRESIDENT 
GEORGE WASHINGTON TOOK THIS 
EXACT SAME OATH.
MIRACULOUS BECAUSE WE'VE DONE 
IT EVERY FOUR YEARS SINCE 1789 
AND THE EXAMPLE IT SETS FOR 
DEMOCRACIES EVERYWHERE.
WASHINGTON BELIEVED THE 
INAUGURATION OF THE SECOND 
PRESIDENT WOULD BE MORE 
IMPORTANT THAN THE INAUGURATION 
OF THE FIRST.
MANY PEOPLE HAD TAKEN CONTROL 
OF A GOVERNMENT UP UNTIL THEN, 
BUT FEW PEOPLE HAD EVER TURNED 
THAT CONTROL WILLINGLY OVER TO 
ANYONE ELSE.
AND AS IMPORTANT AS THE FIRST 
TRANSFER OF POWER WAS, MANY 
HISTORIANS BELIEVE THAT THE 
NEXT ELECTION WAS EVEN MORE 
IMPORTANT.
WHEN IN 1801, ONE GROUP OF 
PEOPLE, ARGUABLY FOR THE FIRST 
TIME EVER IN HISTORY WILLINGLY, 
IF NOT ENTHUSIASTICALLY, GAVE 
CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT TO 
PEOPLE THEY BELIEVED HAD A 
DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT VIEW OF 
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD, 
SHOULD, AND COULD DO.
AFTER THAT ELECTION THAT 
ACTUALLY DISCOVERED A FLAW IN 
THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF, WHICH 
WAS REMEDIED BY THE 12TH 
AMENDMENT, THOMAS JEFFERSON 
THAT THE INAUGURATION, BEYOND 
THE CHAOS OF THE ELECTION THAT 
HAD JUST PASSED SAID WE ARE ALL 
REPUBLICANS, WE ARE ALL 
FEDERALISTS.
AFTER FOUR YEARS OF CIVIL WAR, 
LINCOLN'S SECOND INAUGURAL 
SPEECH TRIED TO FIND REASON FOR 
THE CONTINUED WAR WHEN HE 
POINTED OUT THAT BOTH SIDES 
PRAY TO THE SAME GOD, HE'D 
EARLIER WRITTEN ABOUT THOSE 
FERVENT PRAYERS THAT ONE SIDE 
MUST BE AND BOTH SIDES MAY BE 
WRONG.
BUT IN 1865, HE LOOKED TO THE 
FUTURE AND THE MEMORABLE MOMENT 
IN THAT SPEECH WAS WITH MALICE 
TOWARD NONE AND CHARITY FOR ALL.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 
DEPRESSION, THE COUNTRY WAS 
TOLD THAT THE ONLY THING WE HAD 
TO FEAR WAS FEAR ITSELF.
AND PRESIDENT KENNEDY TALKED 
ABOUT THE OBLIGATION IN 
DEMOCRACY TO COUNTRY, THE GREAT 
QUESTION THAT DAY WAS ASK WHAT 
YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
SO WE COME TO THIS PLACE AGAIN, 
COMMONPLACE AND MIRACULOUS, A 
NATIONAL MOMENT OF CELEBRATION 
BUT NOT A CELEBRATION OF 
VICTORY, A CELEBRATION OF 
DEMOCRACY.
AND AS WE BEGIN THAT 
CELEBRATION, I CALL ON HIS 
EMINENCE TIMOTHY MICHAEL 
CARDINAL DOLAN, REVEREND DR. 
SAMUEL RODRIGUEZ AND PASTOR 
PAULA WHITE KANE TO PROVIDE 
READINGS AND THE INVOCATION.
[APPLAUSE]
>> THE PRAYER OF KING SOLOMON 
FROM THE BOOK OF WISDOM.
LET US PRAY.
GOD OF OUR ANCESTORS LORD OF 
MERCY, YOU HAVE MADE ALL THINGS.
AND IN YOUR PROVIDENCE HAVE 
CHARGED US TO RULE THE 
CREATURES PRODUCED BY YOU, TO 
GOVERN THE WORLD IN HOLINESS 
AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO RENDER 
JUDGMENT WITH INTEGRITY OF 
HEART.
GIVE US WISDOM.
FOR WE ARE YOUR SERVANTS WEAK 
AND SHORT-LIVED, LACKING IN 
COMPREHENSION OF JUDGMENT AND 
OF LAWS.
INDEED, THOUGH ONE MIGHT BE 
PERFECT AMONG MORTALS, THE 
WISDOM WHICH COMES FROM YOU BE 
LACKING, WE COUNT FOR NOTHING.
NOW WITH YOU IS WISDOM WHO 
KNOWS YOUR WILL AND WAS THERE 
WHEN YOU MADE THE WORLD.
WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS 
PLEASING IN YOUR EYES, WHAT IS 
CONFORMABLE WITH YOUR COMMANDS.
SEND HER FORTH FROM YOUR HOLY 
HEAVENS.
FROM YOUR GLORIOUS THRONE, 
DISPATCH HER, THAT SHE MAY BE 
WITH US AND WORK WITH US, THAT 
WE MAY GRASP WHAT IS PLEASING 
TO YOU.
FOR SHE KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS 
ALL THINGS AND WILL GUIDE US 
PRUDENTLY IN OUR AFFAIRS AND 
SAFEGUARD US BY HER GLORY, AMEN.
>> FROM THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 
THE FIFTH CHAPTER.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO ARE POOR 
AND REALIZE THEIR NEED FOR HIM.
FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS 
THEIRS.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO MOURN FOR 
THEY WILL BE COMFORTED.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO ARE 
HUMBLE, FOR THEY WILL INHERIT 
THE EARTH.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO HUNGER 
AND THIRST FOR JUSTICE FOR THEY 
WILL BE SATISFIED.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO ARE 
MERCIFUL, FOR THEY WILL BE 
SHOWN MERCY.
HE BLESSES THOSE WHO ARE PURE 
AT HEART FOR THEY WILL SEE GOD.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO WORK FOR 
PEACE, FOR THEY WILL BE CALLED 
CHILDREN OF GOD.
GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO ARE 
PERSECUTED FOR DOING RIGHT, FOR 
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS THEIRS.
AND GOD BLESSES YOU WHEN PEOPLE 
MOCK YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU AND 
LIE ABOUT YOU AND SAY ALL SORTS 
OF EVIL THINGS AGAINST YOU 
BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FOLLOWERS.
FOR YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE 
WORLD.
LIKE THE CITY ON A HILLTOP THAT 
CANNOT BE HIDDEN.
NO ONE LIGHTS A LAMP AND THEN 
PUTS IT UNDER A BASKET.
INSTEAD, A LAMP IS PLACED ON A 
STAND WHERE IT GIVES LIGHT TO 
EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE.
IN THE SAME WAY, LET YOUR GOOD 
DEEDS SHINE OUT FOR ALL TO SEE, 
THAT EVERYONE WILL PRAISE YOUR 
HEAVENLY FATHER.
RESPECTFULLY IN JESUS NAME.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
>> WE COME TO YOU, HEAVENLY 
FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, 
WITH GRATEFUL HEARTS.
THANKING YOU FOR THIS GREAT 
COUNTRY THAT YOU HAVE DECREED 
TO YOUR PEOPLE.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE WE ARE A BLESSED 
NATION.
WITH A RICH HISTORY OF FAITH 
AND FORTITUDE.
WITH A FUTURE THAT IS FILLED 
WITH PROMISE AND PURPOSE.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT EVERY GOOD 
AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT COMES 
FROM YOU AND THE UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA IS YOUR GIFT.
FOR WHICH WE PROCLAIM GRATITUDE.
AS A NATION WE WELCOME OUR 
PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, VICE 
PRESIDENT MICHAEL RICHARD 
PENCE, AND THEIR FAMILIES.
WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD BESTOW 
UPON OUR PRESIDENT THE WISDOM 
NECESSARY TO LEAD THIS GREAT 
NATION, THE GRACE TO UNIFY US, 
AND THE STRENGTH TO STAND FOR 
WHAT IS HONORABLE AND RIGHTABLE 
IN YOUR SIGHT.
IN PROVERBS 21:1, YOU INSTRUCT 
US THAT OUR LEADER'S HEART IS 
IN YOUR HANDS.
GRACIOUS GOD, REVEAL UNTO OUR 
PRESIDENT THE ABILITY TO KNOW 
THE WILL, YOUR WILL, THE 
CONFIDENCE TO LEAD US IN 
JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
AND THE COMPASSION TO YIELD TO 
OUR BETTER ANGELS.
WHILE WE KNOW THERE ARE MANY 
CHALLENGES BEFORE US, IN EVERY 
GENERATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED 
THE STRENGTH AND POWER TO 
BECOME THAT BLESSED NATION.
GUIDE US IN DISCERNMENT, LORD.
GIVE US THAT STRENGTH TO 
PERSEVERE AND THRIVE.
NOW BIND AND HEAL OUR WOUNDS 
AND DIVISIONS AND JOIN OUR 
NATION TO YOUR PURPOSE.
THY KINGDOM THY WILL BE DONE, 
THE PSALM HAS DECLARED.
LET YOUR FAVOR BE UPON THIS ONE 
NATION UNDER GOD.
LET THESE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA BE THAT BEACON OF HOPE 
TO ALL PEOPLE AND NATIONS UNDER 
YOUR DOMINION, A TRUE HOPE FOR 
HUMANKIND.
GLORY TO THE FATHER, THE SON, 
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WE PRAY THIS IN THE NAME OF 
JESUS CHRIST.
AMEN.

ALSO, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR 
ME TO INTRODUCE MY COLLEAGUE, 
THE SENATOR FROM NEW YORK, 
CHUCK SCHUMER.
[APPLAUSE]
>> MY FELLOW AMERICANS, WE LIVE 
IN A CHALLENGING AND TUMULTUOUS 
TIME A INTERCONNECTED WORLD A 
RAPIDLY-CHANGING ECONOMY THAT 
BENEFITS TOO FEW WHILE LEAVING 
TOO MANY BEHIND.
A FRACTURED MEDIA.
A POLITICS FREQUENTLY CONSUMED 
BY RANCOR.
WE FACE THREATS, FOREIGN AND 
DOMESTIC.
IN SUCH TIMES, FAITH IN OUR 
GOVERNMENT, OUR INSTITUTIONS 
AND EVEN OUR COUNTRY CAN ERODE.
DESPITE THESE CHALLENGES, I 
STAND HERE TODAY CONFIDENT IN 
THIS GREAT COUNTRY FOR ONE 
REASON -- YOU.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
WE AMERICANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A 
FORWARD-LOOKING 
PROBLEM-SOLVING, OPTIMISTIC, 
PATRIOTIC AND DECENT PEOPLE.
WHATEVER OUR RACE, RELIGION, 
SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER 
IDENTITY, WHETHER WE ARE 
IMMIGRANT OR NATIVE BORN, 
WHETHER WE LIVE WITH 
DISABILITIES OR DO NOT, IN 
WEALTH OR IN POVERTY, WE ARE 
ALL EXCEPTIONAL IN OUR 
COMMONLY-HELD YET FIERCE 
DEVOTION TO OUR COUNTRY.
AND IN OUR WILLINGNESS TO 
SACRIFICE OUR TIME, ENERGY AND 
EVEN OUR LIVES TO MAKING IT A 
MORE PERFECT UNION.
TODAY WE CELEBRATE ONE OF 
DEMOCRACY'S CORE ATTRIBUTES, 
THE PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER 
AND EVERY DAY WE STAND UP FOR 
CORE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES 
ENSHRINED IN THE CONSTITUTION.
THE RULE OF LAW.
EQUAL PROTECTION FOR ALL UNDER 
LAW.
THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, PRESS, 
RELIGION, THAT THE THINGS THAT 
MAKE AMERICA, AMERICA.
AND WE CAN GAIN STRENGTH FROM 
READING OUR HISTORY AND 
LISTENING TO THE VOICES OF 
AVERAGE AMERICANS.
THEY ALWAYS SAVE US IN TIMES OF 
STRIFE.
ONE SUCH AMERICAN WAS MAJOR 
SULLIVAN BALOO.
ON JULY 14, 1861, WHEN THE 
NORTH AND SOUTH WERE LINING UP 
FOR THEIR FIRST BATTLE, A TIME 
WHEN OUR COUNTRY WAS BITTERLY 
DIVIDED IN FAITH AND THE FUTURE 
OF OUR COUNTRY WAS AT A NADER, 
MAJOR BALOO OF THE SECOND RHODE 
ISLAND VOLUNTEERS PENNED A 
LETTER TO HIS WIFE, SARAH.
IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST 
LETTERS IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
IT SHOWS THE STRENGTH AND 
COURAGE OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.
ALLOW ME TO READ SOME OF HIS 
WORDS, WHICH ECHO THROUGH THE 
AGES.
MY VERY DEAR SARAH, HE WROTE.
THE INDICATIONS ARE VERY STRONG 
THAT WE SHALL MOVE IN A FEW 
DAYS, PERHAPS TOMORROW.
IF IT IS NECESSARY THAT I 
SHOULD FALL ON THE BATTLEFIELD 
FOR MY COUNTRY, I AM READY.
I HAVE NO MISGIVINGS ABOUT OR 
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CAUSE 
IN WHICH I AM ENGAGED AND MY 
COURAGE DOES NOT HALT OR FALTER.
I KNOW HOW STRONGLY AMERICAN 
CIVILIZATION NOW LEANS UPON THE 
TRIUMPH OF THE GOVERNMENT AND 
HOW GREAT A DEBT WE OWE TO 
THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE US, 
THROUGH THE BLOOD AND SUFFERING 
OF THE REVOLUTION.
AND I AM WILLING, PERFECTLY 
WILLING, TO LAY DOWN ALL MY 
JOYS IN THIS LIFE TO HELP 
MAINTAIN THIS GOVERNMENT AND TO 
PAY THAT DEBT.
SARAH, MY LOVE FOR YOU IS 
DEATHLESS.
IT SEEMS TO BIND ME TO YOU WITH 
A MIGHTY CABLES THAT NOTHING 
BUT OMNIPOTENCE CAN BREAK.
AND YET MY LOVE OF COUNTRY 
COMES OVER ME LIKE A STRONG 
WIND AND BEARS ME IRRESISTIBLY 
ON WITH ALL THESE CHAINS TO THE 
BATTLEFIELD.
SULLIVAN BALOO GAVE HIS LIFE ON 
THE BATTLEFIELD A WEEK LATER AT 
THE FIRST BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
IT IS BECAUSE SULLIVAN BALOO 
AND COUNTLESS OTHERS BELIEVED 
IN SOMETHING BIGGER THAN 
THEMSELVES AND WERE WILLING TO 
SACRIFICE FOR IT THAT WE STAND 
TODAY IN THE FULL BLESSINGS OF 
LIBERTY, IN THE GREATEST 
COUNTRY ON EARTH.
AND THAT SPIRIT LIVES ON IN 
EACH OF US, AMERICANS WHOSE 
FAMILIES HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 
GENERATIONS AND THOSE WHO HAVE 
JUST ARRIVED.
AND I KNOW OUR BEST DAYS ARE 
YET TO COME.
I URGE ALL AMERICANS TO READ 
BALOO'S FULL LETTER.
[CHEERING]
HIS WORDS GIVE ME SOLACE, 
STRENGTH.
I HOPE THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE 
SAME.
NOW, PLEASE STAND WHILE THE 
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE 
SUPREME COURT, CLARENCE THOMAS, 
ADMINISTERS THE OATH OF OFFICE 
TO THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES.
[CHEERING]
[CHEERING]
>> MR. VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT, 
WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND 
AND REPEAT AFTER ME.
I, MICHAEL RICHARD PENCE, DO 
SOLEMNLY SWEAR.
[REPEATING]

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED 
STATES.
[REPEATING]
AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND 
DOMESTIC.
[REPEATING]
THAT I WILL BEAR TRUE FAITH AND 
ALLEGIANCE TO THE SAME.
[REPEATING]
THAT I TAKE THIS OBLIGATION 
FREELY.
[REPEATING]
WITHOUT ANY MENTAL RESERVATION 
OR PURPOSE OF EVASION.
[REPEATING]

FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE.

[CHEERING]
[BAND PLAYING] 
["HAIL TO THE CHIEF" PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
[CANNONS FIRING]
>> WHAT A GREAT HONOR TO BE 
ABLE TO INTRODUCE, FOR THE 
FIRST TIME EVER ANYWHERE, THE 
45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA, DONALD J. 
TRUMP.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
>> President Trump: CHIEF 
JUSTICE ROBERTS, PRESIDENT 
CARTER, PRESIDENT CLINTON, 
PRESIDENT BUSH, PRESIDENT 
OBAMA, FELLOW AMERICANS AND 
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, THANK YOU.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
WE THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA ARE 
NOW JOINED IN A GREAT NATIONAL 
EFFORT TO REBUILD OUR COUNTRY 
AND RESTORE ITS PROMISE FOR ALL 
OF OUR PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
TOGETHER WE WILL DETERMINE THE 
COURSE OF AMERICA AND THE WORLD 
FOR MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME.
WE WILL FACE CHALLENGES.
WE WILL CONFRONT HARDSHIPS.
BUT WE WILL GET THE JOB DONE.
EVERY FOUR YEARS, WE GATHER ON 
THESE STEPS TO CARRY OUT THE 
ORDERLY AND PEACEFUL TRANSFER 
OF POWER.
AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO 
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FIRST LADY 
MICHELLE OBAMA FOR THE GRACIOUS 
AID THROUGHOUT THIS TRANSITION.
THEY HAVE BEEN MAGNIFICENT.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU.
TODAY'S CEREMONY, HOWEVER, HAS 
VERY SPECIAL MEANING.
BECAUSE TODAY WE ARE NOT MERELY 
TRANSFERRING POWER FROM ONE 
ADMINISTRATION TO ANOTHER.
OR FROM ONE PARTY TO ANOTHER.
BUT WE ARE TRANSFERRING POWER 
FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. AND 
GIVING IT BACK TO YOU, THE 
PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
FOR TOO LONG, A SMALL GROUP IN 
OUR NATION'S CAPITAL HAS REAPED 
THE REWARDS OF GOVERNMENT WHILE 
THE PEOPLE HAVE BORN THE COST.
WASHINGTON FLOURISHED, BUT THE 
PEOPLE DID NOT SHARE IN ITS 
WEALTH.
POLITICIANS PROSPERED, BUT THE 
JOBS LEFT AND THE FACTORIES 
CLOSED.
THE ESTABLISHMENT PROTECTED 
ITSELF, BUT NOT THE CITIZENS OF 
OUR COUNTRY.
THEIR VICTORIES HAVE NOT BEEN 
YOUR VICTORIES.
THEIR TRIUMPHS HAVE NOT BEEN 
YOUR UP.
-- TRIUMPHS AND WHILE THEY 
CELEBRATED IN OUR NATION'S 
CAPITAL, THERE WAS LITTLE TO 
CELEBRATE FOR STRUGGLING 
FAMILIES ALL ACROSS OUR LAND.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
THAT ALL CHANGES STARTING RIGHT 
HERE AND RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE THIS MOMENT IS YOUR 
MOMENT.
IT BELONGS TO YOU.
IT BELONGS TO EVERYONE GATHERED 
HERE TODAY AND EVERYONE 
WATCHING ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
THIS IS YOUR DAY.
THIS IS YOUR CELEBRATION.
AND THIS, THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA, IS YOUR COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
WHAT TRULY MATTERS IS NOT WHICH 
PARTY CONTROLS OUR GOVERNMENT, 
BUT WHETHER OUR GOVERNMENT IS 
CONTROLLED BY THE PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
JANUARY 20, 2017 WILL BE 
REMEMBERED AS THE DAY THE 
PEOPLE BECAME THE RULERS OF 
THIS NATION AGAIN.
[APPLAUSE]
THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN OF 
OUR COUNTRY WILL BE FORGOTEN NO 
LONGER.
[APPLAUSE]
EVERYONE IS LISTENING TO YOU 
NOW.
YOU CAME BY THE TENS OF 
MILLIONS TO BECOME PART OF A 
HISTORIC MOVEMENT, THE LIKES OF 
WHICH THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN 
BEFORE.
AT THE CENTER OF THIS MOVEMENT 
IS A CRUCIAL CONVICTION.
THAT A NATION EXISTS TO SERVE 
ITS CITIZENS.
AMERICANS WANT GREAT SCHOOLS 
FOR THEIR CHILDREN, SAFE 
NEIGHBORHOODS FOR THEIR 
FAMILIES AND GOOD JOBS FOR 
THEMSELVES.
THESE ARE JUST AND REASONABLE 
DEMANDS OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE AND 
A RIGHTEOUS PUBLIC.
BUT FOR TOO MANY OF OUR 
CITIZENS, A DIFFERENT REALITY 
EXISTS.
MOTHERS AND CHILDREN TRAPPED IN 
POVERTY IN OUR INNER CITIES.
RUSTED OUT FACTORIES SCATTERED 
LIKE TOMBSTONES ACROSS THE 
LANDSCAPE OF OUR NATION.
AN EDUCATION SYSTEM FLUSH WITH 
CASH, BUT WHICH LEAVES OUR 
YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL STUDENTS 
DEPRIVED OF ALL KNOWLEDGE.
AND THE CRIME AND THE GANGS AND 
THE DRUGS THAT HAVE STOLEN TOO 
MANY LIVES AND ROBBED OUR 
COUNTRY OF SO MUCH UNREALIZED 
POTENTIAL.
THIS AMERICAN CARNAGE STOPS 
RIGHT HERE AND STOPS RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE ONE NATION AND THEIR 
PAIN IS OUR DREAM.
THEIR DREAMS ARE OUR DREAMS.
AND THEIR SUCCESS WILL BE OUR 
SUCCESS.
WE SHARE ONE HEART, ONE HOME, 
AND ONE GLORIOUS DESTINY.
THE OATH OF OFFICE I TAKE TODAY 
IS AN OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO ALL 
AMERICANS.
[CHEERING]
FOR MANY DECADES, WE'VE 
ENRICHED FOREIGN INDUSTRY AT 
THE EXPENSE OF AMERICAN 
INDUSTRY, SUBSIDIZED THE ARMIES 
OF OTHER COUNTRIES WHILE 
ALLOWING FOR THE VERY SAD 
DEPLETION OF OUR MILITARY.
WE'VE DEFENDED OTHER NATIONS' 
BORDERS WHILE REFUSING TO 
DEFEND OUR OWN.
[CHEERING]
AND SPENT TRILLIONS AND 
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVERSEAS 
WHILE AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE 
HAS FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR AND 
DECAY.
WE'VE MADE OTHER COUNTRIES RICH 
WHILE THE WEALTH, STRENGTH AND 
CONFIDENCE OF OUR COUNTRY HAS 
DISSIPATED OVER THE HORIZON.
ONE BY ONE, THE FACTORIES 
SHUTTERED AND LEFT OUR SHORES 
WITH NOT EVEN A THOUGHT ABOUT 
THE MILLIONS OR MILLIONS OF 
AMERICAN WORKERS THAT WERE LEFT 
BEHIND.
THE WEALTH OF OUR MIDDLE CLASS 
HAS BEEN RIPED FROM THEIR HOMES 
AND DISTRIBUTED ALL ACROSS THE 
WORLD.
BUT THAT IS THE PAST.
AND NOW WE ARE LOOKING ONLY TO 
THE FUTURE.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ASSEMBLED HERE TODAY ARE 
ISSUING A NEW DECREE TO BE 
HEARD IN EVERY CITY, IN EVERY 
FOREIGN CAPITAL, AND IN EVERY 
HALL OF POWER.
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, A NEW 
VISION WILL GOVERN OUR LAND.
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, IT'S 
GOING TO BE ONLY AMERICA FIRST.
AMERICA FIRST.
[APPLAUSE]
EVERY DECISION ON TRADE, ON 
TAXES, ON IMMIGRATION, ON 
FOREIGN AFFAIRS WILL BE MADE TO 
BENEFIT AMERICAN WORKERS AND 
AMERICAN FAMILIES.
WE MUST PROTECT OUR BORDERS 
FROM THE RAVAGES OF OTHER 
COUNTRIES, MAKING OUR PRODUCTS, 
STEALING OUR COMPANIES, AND 
DESTROYING OUR JOBS.
[APPLAUSE]
PROTECTION WILL LEAD TO GREAT 
PROSPERITY AND STRENGTH.
I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU WITH EVERY 
BREATH IN MY BODY AND I WILL 
NEVER, EVER LET YOU DOWN.
[CHEERING]
AMERICA WILL START WINNING 
AGAIN.
WINNING LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL BRING BACK OUR JOBS, WE 
WILL BRING BACK OUR BORDERS, WE 
WILL BRING BACK OUR WEALTH AND 
WE WILL BRING BACK OUR DREAMS.
[CHEERING]
WE WILL BUILD NEW ROADS AND 
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES AND 
AIRPORTS AND TUNNELS AND 
RAILWAYS ALL ACROSS OUR 
WONDERFUL NATION.
WE WILL GET OUR OFF OF WELFARE 
AND BACK TO WORK, REBUILDING 
OUR COUNTRY WITH AMERICAN HANDS 
AND AMERICAN LABOR!
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL FOLLOW TWO SIMPLE RULES 
-- BUY AMERICAN AND HIRE 
AMERICAN.
WE WILL SEEK FRIENDSHIP AND 
GOODWILL WITH THE NATIONS OF 
THE WORLD, BUT WE DO SO WITH 
THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS 
THE RIGHT OF ALL NATIONS TO PUT 
THEIR OWN INTERESTS FIRST.
WE DO NOT SEEK TO IMPOSE OUR 
WAY OF LIFE ON ANYONE.
BUT RATHER TO LET IT SHINE AS 
AN EXAMPLE.
WE WILL SHINE FOR EVERYONE TO 
FOLLOW.
WE WILL REINFORCE OLD ALLIANCES 
AND FORM NEW ONES AND UNITE THE 
CIVILIZED WORLD AGAINST RADICAL 
ISLAMIC TERRORISM WHICH WE WILL 
ERADICATE COMPLETELY FROM THE 
FACE OF THE EARTH!
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
AT THE BEDROCK OF OUR POLITICS 
WILLABLE A TOTAL ALLEGIANCE TO 
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
AND THROUGH OUR LOYALTY TO OUR 
COUNTRY, WE WILL REDISCOVER OUR 
LOYALTY TO EACH OTHER.
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR HEART TO 
PATRIOTISM, THERE IS NO ROOM 
FOR PREJUDICE.
[APPLAUSE]
THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW GOOD AND 
PLEASANT IT IS WHEN GOD'S 
SPOKESPEOPLE LIVE TOGETHER IN 
UNITY.
WE MUST SPEAK OUR MINDS OPENLY, 
DEBATE OUR DISAGREEMENTS 
HONESTLY, BUT ALWAYS PURSUE 
SOLIDARITY.
WHEN SMERK UNITED, AMERICA IS 
TOTALLY UNSTOPPABLE.
[APPLAUSE]
THERE SHOULD BE NO FEAR, WE ARE 
PROTECTED AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE 
PROTECTED.
WE WILL BE PROTECTED BY THE 
GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR 
MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY --
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL BE PROTECTED BY GOD!
[APPLAUSE]
FINALLY, WE MUST THINK BIG AND 
DREAM EVEN BIGGER.
MANY AMERICA, WE UNDERSTAND 
THAT A NATION IS ONLY LIVING AS 
LONG AS IT IS STRIVING.
WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT 
POLITICIANS WHO ARE ALL TALK 
AND NO ACTION, CONSTANTLY 
COMPLAINING BUT NEVER DOING 
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
[APPLAUSE]
THE TIME FOR EMPTY TALK IS OVER.
NOW ARRIVES THE HOUR OF ACTION.
[APPLAUSE]
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TELL YOU 
THAT IT CANNOT BE DONE.
NO CHALLENGE CAN MATCH THE 
HEART AND FIGHT AND SPIRIT OF 
AMERICA.
WE WILL NOT FAIL.
OUR COUNTRY WILL THRIVE AND 
PROSPER AGAIN.
WE STAND AT THE BIRTH OF A 
LITTLE MILLENNIUM, READY TO 
UNLOCK THE MYSTERIES OF SPACE, 
TO FREE THE EARTH FROM THE 
MISERIES OF DISEASE AND HARNESS 
THE INDUSTRIES AND TECHNOLOGIES 
OF TOMORROW.
A NEW NATIONAL PRIDE WILL STIR 
OUR SOULS, LIFT OUR SIGHTS AND 
HEAL OUR DIVISIONS.
IT'S TIME TO REMEMBER THAT OLD 
WISDOM OUR SOLDIERS WILL NEVER 
FORGET THAT WHETHER WE ARE 
BLACK OR BROWN OR WHITE, WE ALL 
BLEED THE SAME RED BLOOD OF 
PATRIOTS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ALL ENJOY THE SAME GLORIOUS 
FREEDOMS AND WE ALL SALUTE THE 
SAME GREAT AMERICAN FLAG.
[APPLAUSE]
AND WHETHER A CHILD IS BORN IN 
THE URBAN SPRAWL OF DETROIT OR 
THE WIND-SWEPT PLAINS OF 
NEBRASKA, THEY LOOK UP AT THE 
SAME NIGHT SKY, THEY FILL THEIR 
HEART WITH THE SAME DREAMS AND 
THEY ARE INFUSED WITH THE 
BREATH OF LIFE BY THE SAME 
ALMIGHTY CREATOR.
[APPLAUSE]
SO TO ALL AMERICANS IN EVERY 
CITY NEAR AND FAR, SMALL AND 
LARGE, FROM 
MOUNTAIN-TO-MOUNTAIN, FROM 
OCEAN-TO-OCEAN, HERE THESE 
WORDS -- YOU WILL NEVER BE 
IGNORED AGAIN.
[APPLAUSE]
YOUR VOICE, YOUR HOPES AND YOUR 
DREAMS WILL DEFINE OUR AMERICAN 
DESTINY.
AND YOUR COURAGE AND GOODNESS 
AND LOVE WILL FOREVER GUIDE US 
ALONG THE WAY.
TOGETHER, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA 
STRONG AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY 
AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA PROUD 
AGAIN!
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!
AND, YES, TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE 
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
[CHEERING]
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!
AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
THANK YOU!
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
>> Peter: THE 45TH PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP.
HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS 
RELATIVELY SHORT IN THE 
15-MINUTE RANGE.
TOUCHED QUITE A FEW BASES.
TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT 
THINGS, ALL OF WHICH WE WILL 
ANALYZE ONCE THE ACTUAL 
INAUGURAL CEREMONY IS OVER.
BUT THERE IS STILL A COUPLE OF 
ELEMENTS LEFT HERE.
THE CROWD ALONG THE MALL 
RESPONDING TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THERE WILL BE MORE READINGS AND 
THERE WILL BE THE SINGING OF 
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
>> THIS TIME I CALL ON RABBI --
>> Peter: AND THE BENEDICTION.
LET'S WATCH THAT AND THEN WE'LL 
TALK.
>> AND WAYNE T. JACKSON TO 
PROVIDE READINGS AND THE 
BENEDICTION.
>> ETERNAL GOD, BLESS PRESIDENT 
DONALD J. TRUMP AND AMERICA, 
OUR GREAT NATION.
GUIDE US TO REMEMBER THE WORDS 
OF THE PSALMIST WHO MAY DWELL 
ON YOUR HOLY MOUNTAIN, ONE WHO 
DOES WHAT IS RIGHT AND SPEAKS 
THE TRUTH.
WHO KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU EAT THE 
LABOR OF YOUR HANDS, YOUR 
PRAISE-WORTHY THAT HE WHO SEWS 
IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY 
BECAUSE THE FREEDOMS WE ENJOY 
ARE NOT GRANTED IN PERPETUITY, 
BUT MUST BE RECLAIMED BY EACH 
GENERATION.
AS OUR ANCESTORS HAVE PLANTED 
FOR US, SO WE MUST PLAN FOR 
OTHERS.
WHILE IT IS NOT FOR US TO 
COMPLETE THE TASK, NEITHER ARE 
WE FREE TO DESIST FROM THEM.
DISPENSE JUSTICE FOR THE NEEDY 
AND THE ORPHAN FOR THEY HAVE NO 
ONE BUT THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS 
AND BECAUSE A NATION'S WEALTH 
IS MEASURED BY HER VALUES AND 
NOT BY HER FAULTS.
BLESS ALL OF OUR ALLIES AROUND 
THE WORLD WHO SHARE OUR 
BELIEFS, BY THE RIVERS OF 
BABYLON, WE WEPT AS WE 
REMEMBERED ZION.
IF I FORGET THE OLD JERUSALEM, 
MY RIGHT HAND FORGET ITS SKILL.
THE DOER OF ALL THESE SHALL 
NEVER FALTER.
MAY THE DAYS COME SOON WHEN 
JUSTICE WILL DWELL IN THE 
WILDERNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS 
WILL ABIDE IN THE FERTILE 
FIELDS AND THE WORK OF 
RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE PEACE, 
QUIETNESS, AND CONFIDENCE 
FOREVER.
AMEN.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IN THE BIBLE, 
RAIN IS A SIGN OF GOD'S 
BLESSING.
[LAUGHTER]
AND IT STARTED TO RAIN, MR. 
PRESIDENT, WHEN YOU CAME TO THE 
PLATFORM.
[APPLAUSE]
AND IT'S MY PRAYER THAT GOD 
WILL BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, 
YOUR ADMINISTRATION AND MAY HE 
BLESS AMERICA.
THE PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE COMES 
FROM FIRST TIMOTHY CHAPTER 2.
I URGED THEM FIRST OF ALL THAT 
PETITIONS, PRAYERS, 
INTERSESSION AND THANKSGIVING 
BE MADE FOR ALL PEOPLE.
FOR KINGS.
FOR ALL THOSE IN AUTHORITY, 
THAT WE MAY LIVE PEACEFULLY 
QUIET LIVES IN ALL GODLINESS 
AND HOLINESS.
THIS IS GOOD AND IT PLEASES 
GOD, OUR SAVIOR, WHO WANTS ALL 
PEOPLE TO BE SAVED AND COME TO 
A KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
FOR THERE IS ONE GOD AND ONE 
MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND 
MANKIND.
THE MAN CHRIST JESUS WHO GAVE 
HIMSELF AS A RANSOM FOR ALL 
PEOPLE.
NOW THE KING ETERNAL, IMMORTAL, 
INVISIBLE.
THE ONLY GOD, THE HONOR AND 
GLORY FOREVER AND EVER IN JESUS 
NAME, AMEN.
>> AMEN.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
>> WE THANK YOU, FATHER, FOR 
LETTING US SHARE THIS GREAT 
MOMENT TOGETHER.
LET US NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED THE 
AIR WE BREATHE OR THE LIFE 
YOU'VE GIVEN US.
WE WERE ALL CREATED BY YOU WITH 
ONE BLOOD, ALL NATIONS TO DWELL 
UPON THIS LAND TOGETHER.
WE'RE NOT ENEMIES, WE'RE 
BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
WE'RE NOT ADVERSARIES BUT WE'RE 
ALLIES.
WE'RE NOT FOES, BUT WE'RE 
FRIENDS.
LET US BE HEALED BY THE POWER 
OF YOUR LOVE AND UNITED BY THE 
BOND OF YOUR SPIRIT.
TODAY WE PRAY FOR OUR 45TH 
PRESIDENT, THE VICE PRESIDENT 
AND THEIR FAMILIES AND GIVE 
THEM THE WISDOM TO GUIDE THIS 
GREAT NATION, THE STRENGTH TO 
PROTECT IT AND THE HANDS TO 
HEAL IT.
WI BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD J. 
TRUMP, WE ASK THAT YOU GIVE HIM 
THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON, THE 
WISDOM OF JOSEPH WHO DREAMT 
BETTER FOR THE PEOPLE AND 
CHRIST WHO ACCEPTED US ALL.
OH, LORD, MEND OUR HEARTS AND 
STITCH TOGETHER THE FABRIC OF 
THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LEGENDARY 
GOSPEL SONGWRITER, MAHALIA

GENTLEMEN, PLEASE REMAIN 
STANDING WHILE THE PRESIDENT 
AND OFFICIAL PARTY DEPART THE

YOU WILL BE RELEASED BY 
SECTIONS SHORTLY.
>> Peter: WELL, THERE YOU HAVE 
IT.
THAT IS THE OFFICIAL CEREMONY, 
THE INAUGURATION OF THE 45TH 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, 
DONALD J. TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP NOW SHAKING 
HANDS WITH A NUMBER OF THOSE ON 
THE DIGNITARY STAND.
PRESIDENT OBAMA, NOW WILL 
ACTUALLY LEAVE TOWN AS BILL 
CLINTON DID BEFORE HIM.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL ESCORT 
PRESIDENT OBAMA TO THE 
DEPARTURE AREA BEHIND THE 
CAPITOL BUILDING.
HE'LL LEAVE BY HELICOPTER.
BOB DOLE.
FORMER REPUBLICAN SENATOR, 
FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
LOST TO BILL CLINTON.
96.
PRESIDENT OBAMA ALSO WITH 
ELIZABETH DOLE, FORMER 
SECRETARY AND CABINET SECRETARY.
BOB DOLE, VETERAN OF THE SECOND 
WORLD WAR.
LET'S TALK, JENNIFER CARROLL, 
ABOUT YOUR MAN'S SPEECH.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPEECH.
THERE WERE A LOT OF ABSOLUTES 
IN THERE.
PROMISES HE SAID WOULD HAPPEN 
IMMEDIATELY.
>> HE GAVE NO ROOM FOR ERROR.
HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO DO 
EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY.
AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A 
MISTAKE FOR HIM BECAUSE PEOPLE 
ARE GOING TO BE EXPECTING FULL 
DELIVERY.
AND PARTICULARLY THE DEMOCRATS 
WHO ARE GOING TO BE TRYING TO 
REGAIN POWER IN THE NEXT YEAR 
AND A HALF WITH THE MIDTERM 
ELECTIONS.
THEY ARE GOING TO POINT TO ALL 
THE THINGS HE DID NOT DO OR 
COULDN'T GET DONE.
AND ALTHOUGH HE HAS -- HE WILL 
HAVE ANOTHER TWO-YEARS TO GO TO 
FINISH UP HIS TERM, THAT IS NOT 
GOING TO MATTER.
IT IS JUST GOING TO GIVE HIM 
MORE FODDER FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
>> Peter: HE DID USE THE "ALL 
AMERICANS" TERM MORE THAN A FEW 
TIMES.
DID YOU SEACH A REAL REACHING 
OUT TO PEOPLE WHO WERE SUSPECT 
ET?
IT SEEMED LIKE HE WAS RUNNING A 
CAMPAIGN AGAIN.
>> HE SAID HE WROTE THE SPEECH 
HIMSELF.
THAT IT JUST CAPTURED THE SAME 
ESSENCE OF THE CAMPAIGN, OF 
REACHING INTO THE MINORITY 
COMMUNITIES AND THE DOWNTRODDEN 
COMMUNITY AND HELP BRING THEM 
UP AND JOBS FOR THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE AND AMERICA FIRST.
SO, WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING NEW 
AND DIFFERENT.
THE ONE THING THAT WAS 
DIFFERENT IN HIS SPEECH WAS THE 
EVOKING OF GOD.
THREE TIMES.
HE'S NEVER -- I HAVEN'T HEARD 
HIM MENTION GOD INSIDE OF A 
SPEECH LIKE WE HEARD TODAY.
>> Peter: GOD BLESS AMERICA, 
ENDING --
>> CORRECT.
AND INSIDE THE BODY OF THE 
SPEECH.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS BY 
DESIGN TO TRY AND BRING ABOUT 
THAT UNITY, RECOGNIZING THAT WE 
ARE JUDAEO CHRISTIAN COUNTRY 
AND UTILIZING GOD'S NAME AND 
INVOKING IN THAT BIBLICAL SENSE 
TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND 
BRING THEIR HEARTS TOGETHER.
SO, MAYBE THAT WAS BY DESIGN 
FOR HIM IN THAT UNIFICATION.
>> Peter: YOU KNOW, THERE WAS 
SOMETHING THAT REMINDED ME OF 
2009.
WHEN BARACK OBAMA GOT UP ON 
STAGE FOR HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS 
AND GEORGE W. BUSH WAS SITTING 
THERE JUST A FEW METERS FROM 
HIM.
HE RIPPED INTO THE PAST RECORD 
OF THE U.S. AND THE PREVIOUS 
TERM AND HOW EVERYTHING WAS 
GOING TO CHANGE AND THERE WAS A 
NEW DAWN, A NEW ERA.
AND IN SOME WAYS, TRUMP TODAY 
WAS SAYING KIND OF THE SAME 
THING ABOUT OBAMA.
>> BASED ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S 
FACE, I WAS LIKE HOW DARE YOU 
DENIGRATE MY RECORD LIKE THIS.
I DON'T THINK I DENIGRATED THE 
MIDDLE CLASS AT ALL.
I THINK EVERYTHING IS MUCH 
BETTER BY ALL MEASURES.
WE'RE BETTER OFF THAN WE WERE 
EIGHT YEARS AGO.
SO, HE WAS A LITTLE BIT LESS 
THAN PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS WITH 
PRESIDENT BUSH.
BUT HE DID ATTACK AND GO AFTER 
THE STATE OF THE STATE WHERE WE 
ARE TODAY.
IN HIS VIEW AS TO WHERE WE ARE.
SO AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE 
LISTENING, HE TALKED ABOUT THE 
JOBS AND THE FACTORIES CLOSING 
UP AND THE UNFAIR BALANCE OF 
TRADE AND PUTTING AMERICANS 
FIRST AND MAKING SURE THAT 
ANYTHING THAT WE DECIDE TO DO 
AS FAR AS TREES AND DECISIONS 
AS A NEGOTIATION IS ALWAYS 
GOING TO BE AMERICA FIRST.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
DON'T GO AWAY.
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU IN A FEW 
MINUTE.
WE WANT TO DO A CIRCUIT HERE OF 
SOME OF OUR COMMENTATORS WHO 
HAVE THEIR THOUGHTS ON ALL THIS.
AND LET'S START WITH PAUL 
HUNTER.
HE WAS CLOSEST TO THE NEW 
PRESIDENT IN TERMS OF PROXIMITY 
DURING THAT SPEECH.
AND ALSO IN SOME WAYS BECAUSE, 
PAUL, YOU'VE HEARD SO MANY OF 
HIS SPEECHES IN THE PAST, 
ESPECIALLY DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
YOUR SENSE OF THAT SPEECH IN 
TERMS OF WHAT YOU'VE HEAR IN 
THE PAST.
HOW DIFFERENT WAS IT?
>>
>> Reporter: I WROTE A FEW 
THINGS DOWN BESIDES TAKING 
NOTES OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
ONE IS POWER OF THE PEOPLE.
NOT A PHRASE HE EVER USED BUT 
EFFECTIVELY THE THEME OF ALMOST 
EVERYTHING HE SAID DURING THE 
CAMPAIGN.
I THOUGHT A LOT OF THIS HAD 
STRONG ECHOS FROM THE SPEECH WE 
HEARD AT THE REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND.
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS GOING 
DOWN THE LIST OF GANGS AND 
CRIME AND DRUGS.
I THINK HE USED THE TERM HERE 
THIS AMERICAN CARNAGE STOPS 
RIGHT NOW.
A VIVID PHRASE I'VE NOT HEARD 
HIM USE BEFORE.
BUT CERTAINLY THE THEMES WE'VE 
HEARD FROM HIM THROUGHOUT THIS 
CAMPAIGN.
WE WERE TALKING THROUGHOUT THE 
CAMPAIGN, IT'S OVER NOW, YOU 
KNOW WE WONDERED IF THERE WAS A 
LOT OF TALK ABOUT UNITY.
I DIDN'T HEAR AN AWFUL LOT OF 
THAT.
IT REALLY WAS ABOUT THE PEOPLE.
ANOTHER PHRASE THAT I WROTE 
DOWN.
THIS MOMENT IS YOUR MOMENT.
IT BELONGS TO YOU.
THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS 
THAT BROUGHT FROM THE CROWD 
THAT WAS HERE THE BIGGEST 
CHEERS.
YOU KNOW, THE AWKWARD TIMES YOU 
TALK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS 
ADMINISTRATION, HE DIDN'T USE 
THE WORD "SWAMP."
WE HEARD HIM TALK ABOUT 
DRAINING THE SWAMP A LOT.
BUT HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW 
WASHINGTON HAS BEEN FLOURISHING 
WHILE THE PEOPLE HAVE NOT.
BRINGING THE CHEERS FROM THE 
PEOPLE, THE KIND OF STUFF THAT 
WOULD RILE UP CROWDS DURING THE 
CAMPAIGN.
BUT HERE HE IS EFFECTIVELY 
SURROUNDED BY WASHINGTON WITH 
THEM AT HIS BACK.
HE IS SAYING YOU GUYS HAVE ALL 
GOT RICH WHILE NONE OF YOU OUT 
HERE HAVE.
AND AS HE PUT IT, YOU KNOW, 
THAT ENDS NOW.
AND AGAIN THE ROAR OF THE CROWD.
IT WAS A POPULIST SPEECH AND HE 
WAS -- EVEN THOUGH THE THEMES 
WERE WHAT WE HEARD FROM HIM, 
I'LL TELL YOU I THOUGHT IT WAS 
PROBABLY MORE ON THE POPULISM 
NOTE AS FORCEFUL AS I'VE EVER 
HEARD HIM ON THAT HERE TODAY.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
OK, PAUL.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
GET BACK TO YOU IN A COUPLE OF 
MINUTES.
YOU MAY BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT UP 
THERE BY THE TIME I NEXT GET TO 
YOU AS THEY'RE VACATING THE 
SCENE QUICKLY.
IT RAINED A LITTLE BIT DURING 
THE SPEECH.
JUST A LIGHT DRIZZLE.
BUT AS WE SAW, PASSING OUT THE 
UMBRELLAS.
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER GUEST WITH US.
ANOTHER CANADIAN, A PROMINENT 
CANADIAN, THE MINISTER OF 
DEFENSE, HARJIT SAJJAN WHO -- 
WE'RE ON THE CANADIAN EMBASSY 
ROOFTOP AND THERE IS A KIND OF 
PARTY GOING ON INSIDE OF A LOT 
OF CANADIAN AND AMERICAN 
DIGNITARIES DROPPING BY THE 
EMBASSY, PARTLY DUE TO THE FACT 
THAT WE HAVE THE BEST VIEW IN 
TOWN.
YOUR TAKE ON THAT SPEECH.
YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO 
IT.
WHAT WAS IN THERE FOR YOU AS 
MINISTER OF DEFENSE.
WHAT STUCK OUT FOR YOU?
>> FOR ME, I THINK ONE THING 
THAT WE CAN SAY, ESPECIALLY 
WHEN IT COMES TO -- FROM MY 
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE 
U.S., WHETHER IT'S FROM MY 
POLICING BACKGROUND AND THE 
MILITARY, THAT RELATIONSHIP 
WILL ALWAYS REMAIN STRONG.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE ABLE TO 
TALK TO AMERICANS AS THE 
PRESIDENT AND HE'S BEEN PUTTING 
OUT HIS VISION.
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT 
OR PRIME MINISTER OR PRESIDENT 
WOULD DO.
AND CANADA HAS A VERY UNIQUE 
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE U.S. IN 
MANY DIFFERENT AREAS, WHETHER 
IT'S TRADE OR DEFENSE AND 
INCLUDING POLICING AS WELL.
>> Peter: IS THERE ANYTHING 
THAT WORRIED YOU?
HE DID GO BACK TO A COUPLE OF 
THEMES THAT HE TALKED ABOUT 
DURING THE CAMPAIGN WHEN IT 
RELATES TO FOREIGN POLICY IN 
TERMS OF HIS -- ESPECIALLY IN 
TERMS OF MILITARY ISSUES THAT 
THE U.S. HAS SPENT TOO MUCH 
MONEY PROPPING UP OTHER 
COUNTRIES IN TERMS OF THEIR 
COMMITMENTS OVERSEAS.
AND THAT IT WAS TIME TO PULL 
BACK ON THAT.
DOES THAT WORRY YOU?
>> WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEFENSE 
RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER IT IS 
BILATERAL OR THE COALITION 
WORK, SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE 
DO, WE HAVE CERTAIN CONCERNS AS 
WELL.
BUT WE DISCUSSED THIS AND 
TOGETHER WE DEAL WITH THOSE 
CHALLENGES.
ONE OF THE THINGS IS I THINK -- 
I USE THE WORD UNIQUE QUITE 
OFTEN BECAUSE I'VE LIVED THAT 
EXPERIENCE.
WHERE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN 
AFGHANISTAN, CANADA WAS THE 
ONLY NATION THAT ALLOWED U.S. 
TROOPS UNDER THEIR COMMAND.
I SERVED ALONGSIDE ON THE 
BATTLEFIELD AND I USED TO TELL 
ASH CARTER OFTEN BEFORE IS THAT 
WHEN IT COMES --
>> Peter: THE OUTGOING MINISTER.
>> AND I SAID WHEN I BECAME 
MINISTER OF DEFENSE, I SAID WE 
LOOK AT BILATERAL RELATIONSHIPS.
THIS IS NEW TO ME.
FOR ME, IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
I LOOK AT OUR DEFENSE 
RELATIONSHIP WHEN I WAS ON THE 
BATTLEFIELD ALONGSIDE THE U.S. 
TROOPS.
WHEN I SERVED WITH THE 10TH 
MOUNTAIN DIVISION.
AND THAT  REMAIN THE SAME.
I HAVE TREMENDOUS RESPECT FOR 
GENERAL MATTIS WHO'S COMING IN 
AS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND HAS 
A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PROCESS 
TO GO AND I LOOK FORWARD TO 
FURTHERING THAT DEFENSE 
RELATIONSHIP.
>> Peter: WHEN YOU LISTEN TO 
SECRETARY -- THE POTENTIAL 
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, MATTIS, 
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT HE'S 
SAYING THAT PARTICULARLY 
INTERESTS YOU?
IN TERMS OF RELATIONSHIPS 
OVERSEAS?
>> I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO 
IS LOOK AT THE CHALLENGES.
ASSESS WHAT THE REALITY ON THE 
GROUND AND I'VE SAID THIS 
BEFORE.
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A VERY 
GOOD UNDERSTANDING.
SO, WHEN WE APPLY RESOURCES, WE 
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE 
SEND TROOPS INTO HARM'S WAY, 
THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO 
HAVE THAT IMPACT.
SO OUR INTELLIGENCE AND 
COOPERATION THAT WE HAVE DONE 
IN THE PAST AND HOW WE'LL DO IT 
MOVING FORWARD IS EXTREMELY 
IMPORTANT TO GET A VERY GOOD 
UNDERSTANDING SO THAT WE CAN 
BRING IN THE RIGHT SKILLSET 
WITH WHAT CANADIANS HAVE IN 
TERMS OF OUR ASSETS AND 
INTEGRATE THATWELL SO WE CAN 
HAVE THE DESIRED IS IMPACT TO 
BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE MUTUAL 
INTERESTS, WHICH IS DEALING 
WITH SOME OF THESE SIGNIFICANT 
SECURITY CHALLENGES THAT WE ALL 
FACE.
>> Peter: SOME CANADIANS WORRY 
ABOUT A PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WILL IT BE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO 
THE POSITION OF SERIOUS POWER 
IN TERMS OF THE USE OF MILITARY 
POWER.
HOW DO YOU FEEL -- OR WHAT DO 
YOU SAY TO THOSE CANADIANS WHO 
WORRY ABOUT THAT?
>> I THINK CANADIANS CAN BE 
REST ASSURED AND HAVE FULL 
CONFIDENCE THAT WHEN CANADIANS, 
AND WE AS A GOVERNMENT OR 
MILITARY GOES ON AN OPERATION, 
IT USES FORCE THAT WE ABIDE BY 
OUR CANADIAN LAWS, OUR 
INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND OUR 
OBLIGATIONS THAT WE HAVE.
AND WE TAKE THIS EXTREMELY 
SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE 
ABLE TO SET THAT EXAMPLE.
AND WITHIN THOSE IMPORTANT 
CONFINES, WE CAN STILL ACHIEVE 
THE IN ADDITION AN EFFECTIVE 
WAY AND THE THING IS WE HAVE 
PROVEN THIS.
AND MANY TIMES ON OUR VARIOUS 
OPERATIONS THAT WE HAVE 
CONDUCTED TOGETHER.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
MINISTER, THANK YOU FOR 
DROPPING BY.
I'LL LET YOU GET BACK TO THE 
PARTY.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
AS WE CONTINUE TO WATCH THE 
GOOD-BYES TAKING PLACE ON 
CAPITOL HILL, YOU SEE THERE JOE 
BIDEN AS HE GETS READY TO LEAVE 
AS WELL.
THE OBAMAS WILL BE LEAVING BY 
HELICOPTER.
THE BIDENS HAVE GONE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, MELANIA TRUMP, 
THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT, THE 
FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
SOUNDS FUNNY TO SAY THAT.
BUT THAT IS THE CASE NOW.
AND THERE IS THE HELICOPTER 
WHICH WILL TAKE THE FORMER 
PRESIDENT OUT TO ANDREWS AIR 
FORCE BASE.
WHERE HE WILL THEN GET ON BOARD 
AN AIRCRAFT TO TAKE THE OBAMA 
FAMILY, ALL OF THEM, TO PALM 
SPRING IN CALIFORNIA.
AND THEY'RE HEADING TOWARDS -- 
JUST EIGHT YEARS AGO WE SAW A 
SIMILAR SCENE UNFOLD AS THE 
OBAMAS TOOK THE OUT GOING 
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AND 
LAURA BUSH TO THE HELICOPTER.
NOW THIS WILL HARDLY BE THEIR 
LAST FLIGHT OVER WASHINGTON AND 
OUT OF WASHINGTON.
AS THE OBAMAS ARE GOING TO LIVE 
HERE.
WHILE THEIR DAUGHTERS FINISH 
OFF THEIR SCHOOLING, ESPECIALLY 
THE YOUNGER DAUGHTER.
I THINK THE OLDER DAUGHTER IS 
ON A GAP HERE BETWEEN HIGH 
SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY RIGHT NOW.
PETE 
>> Peter: IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE 
THAT THEY DEVELOPED A 
RELATIONSHIP.
BUT IT SAID THAT DONALD TRUMP 
AND BARACK OBAMA HAVE, THROUGH 
THIS TRANSITION PERIOD, THOUGH 
IT STARTED EARLY WITH A MEETING 
AND THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A 
FEW PHONE CALLS SINCE.
BUT HERE HE GETS ON ONE OF THE 
HELICOPTERS THAT IS CODENAMED 
MARINE ONE.
THE PRESIDENT'S HELICOPTER.
TO TAKE HIM ON HIS FINAL TRIP 
ON IT OUT TO ANDREWS.
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
HEADS BACK TO THE STEPS.
IT'S ACTUALLY THIS SIDE OF THE 
CAPITOL BUILDING WHERE THEY 
USED TO DO THE INAUGURAL 
SPEECHES AND THE SWEARING-IN.
BUT AS THE CROWDS GREW OVER THE 
YEARS, THEY MOVED TO THE OTHER 
SIDE.
I THINK THE FIRST ONE ON THE 
SIDE THAT WE WITNESSED TODAY 
WAS 81 WITH RONALD REAGAN.
>> THAT IS THE WEST SIDE OF THE 
CAPITOL.
WE'RE SEEING THE EAST SIDE OF 
THE CAPITOL HERE.
AND VICE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE.
GONNA WAVE GOOD-BYE.
TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT NOW AND 
FIRST LADY.
>> DURING SWEARING-IN, MIKE 
PENCE, THE VICE PRESIDENT, 
SEEMED TO GET QUITE EMOTIONAL 
NEAR THE END.
YOU COULD SEE HE WAS REALLY 
FEELING THE WEIGHT OF EVERY ONE 
OF THOSE WORDS.
>> YEAH.
WELL, HE IS A VERY SERIOUS GUY.
AND YOU CAN SEE IN DONALD 
TRUMP'S FACE AS WELL, IT IS A 
MOMENT NOW WHERE REALITY IS 
SETTLING IN THAT THE WEIGHT OF 
THE WORLD IS NOW ON THEIR 
SHOULDERS.
AND THIS HELICOPTER WILL CIRCLE 
AROUND GEORGETOWN AND GO DOWN 
THE POTOMAC AND THE FORMER 
PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL DO ONE 
LAST CIRCLE OF THE WHITE HOUSE 
WITH THE HELICOPTER AND HEAD 
OVER TO ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE 
WHERE HE'S GOING TO BE GREETED 
BY STAFFERS AND PROBABLY SOME 
OF HIS FORMER CABINET MEMBERS 
TO SHAKE THEIR HANDS AND FAKE 
PICTURES AND SEE THEM ON THEIR 
WAY TO AIR FORCE ONE.
NOW THE NEW PRESIDENT CAN NOT 
ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE UNTIL AIR 
FORCE ONE TAKES OFF.
THAT IS THE PROTOCOL.
AIR FORCE ONE REALLY HAS TO 
TAKE OFF BEFORE HE WILL BE THE 
PRESIDENT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T 
HAVE TWO PRESIDENTS.
[LAUGHTER]
THE CEREMONY IS RATHER 
INTERESTING AND THE POMP AND 
CIRCUMSTANCE IS REALLY INTEREST.
AS A MATTER OF FACT T MARINE 
CORPS BAND, THE FIRST TIME THEY 
PLAYED WAS JANUARY 20 WHEN THEY 
STARTED HAVING THE INAUGURATION 
HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. ON 
JANUARY 20.
IT WAS SURPRISING TO HEAR 
DONALD TRUMP'S SPEECH BEING SO 
SHORT.
IF YOU GOT UP AND WENT TO THE 
KITCHEN AND GOT A SNACK, YOU 
MAY HAVE MISSED IT IF YOU WERE 
AT HOME.
BECAUSE TYPICALLY IN ALL OF HIS 
SPEECHES, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 75 
MINUTES LONG.
>> Peter: AS DAVID FROMM WAS 
TELLING US, THE FORMER BUSH 
SPEECH WRITER YESTERDAY, 
SHORTER IS BETTER.
>> IT IS BETTER.
SHORT AND SWEET.
THE SHORT EST SPEECH WAS GIVEN 
BY GEORGE WASHINGTON IN HIS 
SECOND INAUGURAL.
>> Peter: AND THE GETTYSBURG 
ADDRESS, AND ALL THE TALK ABOUT 
IT AS AMAZING AS IT WAS, WAS 
ONLY A TWO-MINUTE SPEECH.
>> AND HEAR YOU HAVE THE ROTORS 
GOING AND THE LIFTOFF SOON.
IT LOOKED LIKE ON MICHELLE'S 
FACE, A RELIEF.
NOW I CAN GET MY LIFE BACK.
>> Peter: YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT 
LOOKED LIKE.
[LAUGHTER]
AND THEY WILL BE A FORCE -- 
PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE A FORCE 
TO BE RECKONED WITH LIVING IN 
WASHINGTON, D.C.
>> Peter: AND HE MADE IT CLEAR 
THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO BE SHY 
ABOUT SPEAKING OUT WHEN HE 
THINKS THERE IS BACKGROUND TO 
MOST PRESIDENTS THAT THEY DON'T 
TALK AFTER OFFICE.
THEY'RE NOT CRITICAL.
HE SEEMED TO SUGGEST THAT HE 
WASN'T GOING TO BE HOLDING BACK 
IF HE FELT THERE WAS A NEED TO 
SAY SOMETHING.
>> SIMILAR TO BILL CLINTON.
BILL CLINTON, YOU KNOW, ALSO 
OPPOSED PRESIDENT BUSH AND SOME 
OF THE POLICIES HE FELT.
BUT PRESIDENT OBAMA IS VERY 
STATESMAN ABOUT IT.
HE DIDN'T CRITICIZE THE CURRENT 
PRESIDENT AT ALL.
THERE GOES THE HELICOPTER, 
FLYING OVERHEAD.
GOING TO GO DOWN TO THE WHITE 
HOUSE.
ONE LAST PASS, FLY-BY.
AS IT FLIES OVER THE CANADIAN 
EMBASSY AS WE SPEAK.
>> Peter: YEP.
SO BARACK OBAMA, THE FIRST 
AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES, HIS TIME IS 
FULL, TWO TERMS COMPLETED.
DEPARTS CAPITOL HILL AND DOES 
THE FINAL FLY-PAST OVER THE 
WHITE HOUSE AND THEN IT IS OUT 
OF TOWN.
OUT TO CALIFORNIA FOR A BREAK.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW IS THIS PLAYED ON THE OTHER 
SIDE OF THE WORLD?
BECAUSE YOU HEARD BEFORE THE 
SPEECH, WE HAD A CHANCE TO TALK 
TO A NUMBER OF OUR 
CORRESPONDENTS, INCLUDING SUSAN 
ORMISTON WHO'S IN MOSCOW FOR US 
RIGHT NOW.
SUSAN, AS YOU SAID, LOTS OF 
PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING THIS 
SPEECH IN MOSCOW.
DO YOU GET ANY SENSE FROM WHAT 
YOU SAW IN IT IN TERMS OF 
REACTION THERE?
>> Reporter: WELL, PETER, LET 
ME TELL YOU WHAT IS GOING ON 
HERE.
WE'RE IN A WAREHOUSE SPACE IN 
CENTRAL MOSCOW AND THEY'RE 
PLAYING A CARTOON ON DONALD 
TRUMP, SUPERTRUMP.
IT'S PRETTY LIVELY AND CLEVER 
AND IT'S CAUGHT THE ATTENTION 
OF THE PEOPLE HERE.
THIS IS A GATHERING OF TRUMP 
SUPPORTERS WHO ARE HERE TO SEE 
THE INAUGURATION.
WE WERE WATCHING EARLIER THE -- 
ALL THE PROCEEDINGS ON THE BIG 
SCREEN HERE.
AND THEY'RE VERY CAUTIOUS HERE 
ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
AS WE'VE SAID, THEY'RE 
INTERESTED IN NEW RELATIONS 
WITH THE U.S.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT 
IS GOING TO PAN OUT.
WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED HERE AT 
ALL ABOUT THE NATURE OF HIS 
SPEECH TODAY, WHICH WAS VERY 
AMERICA FIRST.
WE'VE BEEN TOLD ALL WEEK THEY 
EXPECTED THAT.
THEY ACTUALLY RESPECT THAT 
BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT PUTIN IS 
VERY MUCH LIKE THAT, TOO.
PRESIDENT PUTIN PUTS THE UNITED 
STATES -- HE PUTS RUSSIA FIRST 
AND THEY CAN DEAL WITH ANOTHER 
PRESIDENT WHO PUTS HIS OWN 
COUNTRY FIRST.
AS I SAID, THERE IS A LOT OF 
INTEREST HERE.
THIS GATHERING WAS PLANNED FOR 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING 
TRUMP THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN.
AND NOW THEY'RE HERE TO SAY, 
OK, MR. TRUMP, ENOUGH WORDS.
NOW WE WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR 
DEEDS ARE.
THE KREMLIN HAS FOR SURE BEEN 
PUTTING SOME CAUTIOUS, SOME 
DISTANCE BETWEEN ITSELF AND MR. 
TRUMP OVER THE LAST WEEK.
NOT WANTING TO BUY IN TOO 
QUICKLY.
BUT THEY ARE EXPECTING THAT 
TRUMP WILL MAKE SOME EARLY 
SIGNS OF INTEREST IN RUSSIA.
I TALKED TO A BO*LSTER TONIGHT 
WHO SAID THAT SUPPORT FOR TRUMP 
IN RUSSIA HAD RISEN FROM 30% TO 
50% OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS 
EVEN.
SO, RISING SUPPORT.
THERE IS OPPOSITION HERE.
BUT IT'S MAOUTSED.
PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE 
PROSPECT OF VLADAMIR PUTIN AND 
DONALD TRUMP TOGETHER CARVING 
OUT DEALS THAT WORRIES THEM 
QUITE A BIT, PETER.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
SUSAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SUSAN IN MOSCOW TONIGHT.
IT IS MID EVENING IN MOSCOW.
BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY, LIKE PEOPLE 
AROUND THE WORLD, WERE 
INTERESTED IN WHAT WAS SAID 
TODAY BY THE NEW PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES, AND HOW THAT 
MAY PLAY INTO ESPECIALLY THAT 
RELATIONSHIP THAT DONALD TRUMP 
HAS MADE CLEAR HE WANTS TO HAVE 
WITH VLADAMIR PUTIN.
HE WANTS TO START A NEW 
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED 
STATES AND RUSSIA.
WE'LL SEE HOUSE THAT WORKS OUT.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE TRUMPS 
NOW GO TO A LUNCHEON ON CAPITOL 
HILL AND THEN IN ABOUT 90 
MINUTES' TIME, THE PARADE 
STARTS IN WASHINGTON, HEADING 
BACK TOWARD THE WHITE HOUSE.
BUT FOR NOW, THE NEXT LITTLE 
WHILE, 90 MINUTES OR SO, IT'S A 
SPECIAL LUNCHEON.
THE CAMERAS WILL BE LET IN AT 
ONE POINT FOR THE TOAST.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT IS A 
PRIVATE LUNCH WITH A LARGE 
CROWD INSIDE.
ROSEY BARTON IS WITH US AND HAS 
BEEN TALKING TO US THROUGHOUT 
THIS DAY.
EVEN GAVE US SOME FASHION 
COMMENTS.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'LL 
LIVE TO REGRET THAT OR NOT.
>> Rosemary: I WON'T.
THAT SHOWS RANGE.
THAT SHOWS RANGE.
>> Peter: IT DOES SHOW RANGE.
NOW SHOW US OTHER RANGE NOW.
>> Rosemary: OK.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THE PRIME 
MINISTER IS SAYING IN A 
STATEMENT.
OUR PRIME MINISTER HAS RELEASED 
A STATEMENT, OBVIOUSLY 
CONGRATULATING THE NEW 
PRESIDENT.
I PULLED OUT A COUPLE OF 
SENTENCES THAT I THINK ARE 
THERE FOR PARTICULAR REASONS.
HE TALKS ABOUT THE ENDURING 
PARTNERSHIP THAT IS ESSENTIAL 
TO OUR SHARED PROSPERITY AND 
SECURITY.
AND HE ALSO SAYS WE BOTH WANT 
TO BUILD ECONOMIES WHERE THE 
MIDDLE CLASS AND THOSE WORKING 
HARD TO JOIN IT HAVE A FAIR 
SHOT AT SUCCESS.
HE TALKS AGAIN ABOUT NATIONAL 
SECURITY, SAYING THERE IS 
UNPARALLELED COOPERATION 
BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS ON THAT 
AND THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS WORKED 
SIDE BY SIDE TO PROTECT OUR 
CITIZENS AND ENSURE OUR SHARED 
BORDER IS SECURE.
SO A COUPLE OF MESSAGES FROM 
OUR GOVERNMENT THERE AS THEY 
BEGIN THIS NEW RELATIONSHIP 
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.
ONE, OUR ECONOMIES WORK CLOSELY 
TOGETHER.
REMEMBER THAT.
AND TWO, OUR BORDER IS 
IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF SECURITY 
AS WELL.
BUT IF THE PRIME MINISTER WAS 
WATCHING THAT SPEECH, AND I 
WOULD IMAGINE HE WAS AND 
CERTAINLY WE KNOW PEOPLE ACROSS 
CANADA WERE, INCLUDING PEOPLE 
ON BAY STREET TODAY, WATCHING 
TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND 
HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE 
MARKETS, THEY MIGHT WANT TO PAY 
ATTENTION TO A COUPLE OF LINES.
ONE THAT DONALD TRUMP MADE 
SAYING THEY WOULD SEEK 
FRIENDSHIP WITH THE WORLD, BUT 
IT IS THE RIGHT OF ALL NATIONS 
TO IMPROVE THEIR INTERESTS 
FIRST.
THAT, TO ME, IS REALLY THE KEY 
IN HOW HE IS GOING TO APPROACH 
ALL OF HIS BUSINESS AND I THINK 
THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF 
AWARENESS OF THAT WITHIN THE 
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.
THIS IS ABOUT AMERICA FIRST.
HE SAID THAT VERY CLEARLY.
SO IF CANADA WANTS TO MAKE A 
DIFFERENCE, WANTS TRUMP TO PAY 
ATTENTION TO THEM, WE ARE ALSO 
GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THE CASE 
ABOUT WHY WE MATTER TO THEM AND 
THAT MAY BE HOW THE APPROACH 
HAS TO CHANGE PRETTY 
DRASTICALLY RIGHT AWAY.
>> Peter: YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE KEEP HEARING IT FROM 
WHICHEVER MINISTERS WE TALK TO 
AND WE HEARD CHRYSTIA FREELAND 
SAY EARLIER THAT THEY HAVE TO 
MAKE THE CASE ABOUT THE BASICS 
ON THE RELATIONSHIP AND HOW 
CLOSE THE RELATIONSHIP IS AND 
HOW MUCH EACH COUNTRY DEPENDS 
ON THE OTHER.
AND THAT A NEW TEAM, AS OFTEN 
AS IT HAPPENS, WHEN A NEW TEAM 
COMES INTO POWER IN WASHINGTON, 
IT'S SORT OF STARTING BACK FROM 
SQUARE ONE TO EXPLAIN 
EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THAT 
RELATIONSHIP.
ROSEY HAS HER SHOW HERE, "POWER 
& POLITICS", HERE IN WASHINGTON.
SO IT WILL BE ON LATER ON THIS 
AFTERNOON.
DON'T MISS THAT T.S LET'S GO 
BACK DOWN TO SORT OF GROUND 
ZERO.
THE STREET LEVEL.
AND GET LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE'S TAKE.
HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK 
TO A LOT OF PEOPLE TODAY ON THE 
GROUND.
>> Reporter: IT WAS REALLY 
INTERESTING, PETER, TO WATCH 
THE SPEECH WITH PEOPLE HERE IN 
THE CROWD.
AND TO WATCH THE LEADUP TO THE 
SPEECH.
IT WAS INTERESTING TO CONTRAST 
THE EFFORTS OF UNITY MADE UP 
FRONT BY THE NEW PRESIDENT AND 
THE OUT GOING PRESIDENT WORKING 
TOGETHER.
HILLARY CLINTON ON THE STAGE.
TO THE TONE DOWN HERE.
WHERE WE ARE IS A TICKETED AREA 
SO EVERYONE HERE, LARGELY TRUMP 
SUPPORTERS, AND WHEN HILLARY 
CLINTON APPEARED ON THE SCREEN, 
THERE WERE BOOS.
WHEN CHUCK SCHUMER GAVE HIS 
SPEECH, THERE CERTAINLY WERE 
MORE BOOS AND PEOPLE TRYING TO 
SHOUT OVER HIM.
NO ONE YELLED "LOCK HER UP" BUT 
THERE WAS VERY MUCH A 
CAMPAIGN-STYLE SENSE THAT WAS 
TRUE IN THE CRITICISM, BUT ALSO 
TRUE WITH HOW THEY TREATED 
DONALD TRUMP, YELLING U.S.A., 
U.S.A., AND TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP.
IT REMINDED ME RALLIS THAT WE 
WENT TO THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN 
AND PERHAPSS A SENSE THAT THAT 
ANIMOSITY, THAT DIVISION CAN'T 
BE HEALED BY ANY OF THE WORDS 
THAT WE HEARD TODAY.
>> Peter: ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
GREAT WORK DOWN THERE TODAY 
ALONG WITH ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
LYNDSAY DUNCOMBE FOR US.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU QUICKLY 
WHERE THAT ROUTE IS THAT WILL 
HEAD TOWARDS THE WHITE HOUSE, 
THE PARADE ROUTE THAT TAKES 
PLACE.
IT DOESN'T START FOR ABOUT 90 
MINUTES' TIME.
IF WE CAN POP UP THE MAP HERE 
TO GIVE -- OH, OK.
SORRY.
THERE IS A GREAT LOOK AT IT 
HERE.
THE STEPS OF THE CAPITOL 
BUILDING AND PROCEEDS ALONG 
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE TO THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
ABOUT 8,000 PEOPLE WILL 
PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR'S 
EVENT, INCLUDING CEREMONIAL 
MILITARY REGIMENTS, CITIZENS 
GROUPS, MARCHING BANDS AND 
FLOATS.
THE MAJORITY OF THE ROUTE IS 
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
LIT PASS THE CANADIAN EMBASSY.
ALWAYS A HOT TICKET BECAUSE 
IT'S THE ONLY FOREIGN EMBASSY 
ON THE PARADE ROUTE.
AND THEN A PLACE THE NEW 
PRESIDENT KNOWS WELL -- THE 
TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL.
THIS YEAR'S PARADE WILL BE 
SHORTER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS.
THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION 
SAYS DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO GET 
DOWN TO WORK.
ASAP.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHAT 
HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE 
AFTERNOON.
JENNIFER CARROLL, CLOSING 
THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE WITNESSED 
HERE.
>> WE WITNESSED A PEACEFUL 
TRANSITION OF POWER.
NOW IT IS TIME FOR DONALD TRUMP 
TO GET TO WORK.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
HOW MUCH IS HE GOING TO BE ABLE 
TO ACCOMPLISH IN A SHORT PERIOD 
OF TIME AND THE WEIGHT IS GOING 
TO BE ALL ON HIS SHOULDER 
BECAUSE HE MADE THE PROMISES.
>> Peter: STILL HAVE THE FAITH?
>> I HAVE THE FAITH.
ALL WE NEED IS THE TIME.
>> Peter: YEAH.
THAT IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.
>> IT IS.
AND HE NEEDS THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE TO GET BEHIND HIM AS 
WELL.
>> Peter: JENNIFER, THANK YOU 
FOR JOINING US.
AS WE CLOSE OUT, A  ARE MINDER 
THAT THROUGHOUT THIS AFTERNOON, 
ON CBC NEWS NETWORK, LOTS OF 
COVERAGE OF THE CONTINUING DAY, 
INAUGURATION DAY HERE FOR THE 
45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
STATES, DONALD TRUMP.
THE PARADE COMING UP IN ABOUT 
90 MINUTES, BUT LOTS OF 
COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND 
SUPPER HOUR NEWSCASTS AND "THE 
NATIONAL TONIGHT."
I'M PETER MANSBRIDGE.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
BYE FOR NOW.
