| Okay, let's keep the shot right there. | ||
| We're at the Capital One Center. | ||
| That's Independence Hall. | ||
| You have the Army Field Band from Fort Meade, Maryland, playing. | ||
| The President of the United States is in the building. | ||
| The order of battle here is that the President is going to sign some executive orders. | ||
| There may be a few other talks. | ||
| We've got our own Michelle Bachmus, the Bachmus of Real America's Voice. | ||
| We're going to cut away if there's any action on the stage. | ||
| Michelle, are you there? | ||
| Do you have Michelle Bacchus? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Steve, I am here. | |
| The anticipation is definitely building here inside Capital One Arena. | ||
| Talk to me about this. | ||
| Put us in the room there. | ||
| I know it's exciting. | ||
| It's 20,000 people. | ||
| We're not having a... | ||
| Well, hang on. | ||
| Let's listen to some music. | ||
| We'll come back to Michelle Bacchus in a moment, preparing for the President of the United States to take the stage. | ||
|

|
���� | |
| ���� | ||
| ���� Thank | ||
| you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, let's go to Michelle Bacchus, Real America's Voice. | ||
| She's at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C. Michelle, put us in the room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, the anticipation is building as we're all waiting for President Trump to take the stage. | |
| And I'll tell you what, Steve, these people have been here since about 8, 9 o'clock this morning. | ||
| So it's been an extremely long day for them. | ||
| And mind you, they were outside waiting in the cold to get inside and ensure that they had a good seat. | ||
| 20,000 people. | ||
| I'm actually going to take a scan as we're sitting here on camera right now. | ||
| I'll tell you what, there's more people here today than there was yesterday for the rally because you're seeing every single layer filled with people right now. | ||
| And that's not including all of us down here. | ||
| So I would imagine that we are at max capacity at this point. | ||
| You know, it's so funny because we've all been watching the ceremony from inside of this arena. | ||
| And I had said that it is a pretty personal experience because everybody is cheering. | ||
| It's not like a sporting event. | ||
| Booze, cheers, depending on who walks out on the stage. | ||
| And you know, Steve, you would think that Biden, Kamala, Obama would get the loudest boos. | ||
| But I'll tell you what. | ||
| It was Mike Pence who got the loudest boos inside of Capital One Arena today. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| When he walked out, they had the big screen. | ||
| Mike Pence was not in Capital One. | ||
| He was at the Capitol. | ||
| He got the biggest boos. | ||
| Hang on for one second, Michelle. | ||
| Michelle Bach has said, let's go to Ben Berkwam. | ||
| Ben, we may have to cut away from you. | ||
| The president comes out. | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| Who you got? | ||
| Sounds like war room posse, cadre, MAGA. What do you got for us? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Yeah, well, by the way, Steve, hang on. | ||
| My friend's over here who wants to come on and talk to you. | ||
| I just found out we got a guy from Germany who came all the way over here just to support President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, absolutely. | |
| So, you know, this is God's day, right? | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| All the energy is concentrated in Washington, D.C. This is very, very, very important, not only for the United States, but also for Europe. | ||
| I live in Germany. | ||
| This is what we need. | ||
| It needs to come over to Germany, and we're heading there. | ||
| But I'm so, so happy for you, America, that America It's taking itself back, right? | ||
| Okay, hang on, Ben. | ||
| Hang on, Ben. | ||
| Ask him a question. | ||
| Is Alternative for Deutschland going to win or not? | ||
| Yes or no? | ||
| Say that one more time, Steve. | ||
| Is Alternative for Deutschland... | ||
| We love the thing of America. | ||
| We appreciate you, bro. | ||
| But is Alternative for Deutschland going to win or are they not going to win? | ||
| We're trying to spread this movement throughout the world. | ||
| MAGA comes to Germany. | ||
| Is Alternative for Deutschland going to win? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are going to be very significant in the end result. | |
| They will have a very strong, not necessarily majority, but they are going to be either the second or the third party, absolutely. | ||
| And they will be, you know, how do you say? | ||
| Not invited to make the coalition. | ||
| So that means that in nine months we have another election, right? | ||
| It's a bit the same story. | ||
| What we had in the United States, we had to wait four years. | ||
| Here in Europe it goes a bit faster. | ||
| So when there's no coalition, then they can do new elections, right? | ||
| But this energy, what we got from the United States and from Donald Trump and from God, It's now spilling over to Europe. | ||
| So this is all going to work out. | ||
| You have the most extreme version here in America. | ||
| So we will survive. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Go ahead, Ben. | ||
| Who else you got? | ||
| I've got one lady. | ||
| Come here, come here, come here. | ||
| Your story's incredible. | ||
| I want to get to Bucks County and the work that you guys did in Bucks County. | ||
| But tell me about your mission over here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was a lifelong Democrat. | |
| I was born in Chicago. | ||
| It's automatic that you're a Democrat in Chicago. | ||
| And I was traveling down to National Association of Women in Construction. | ||
| They had officers being installed in Jackson, Mississippi. | ||
| So I flew down, right? | ||
| So you get in the hotel, you turn on the remote, and all of a sudden Fox came on. | ||
| I said, I don't watch Fox. | ||
| Rachel Maddow is my girl. | ||
| Anderson Cooper is my guy. | ||
| Wolf Blitzer, they're my people. | ||
| But before I could get to the remote to change the channel, the Holy Ghost had Colin Powell come on Fox News and say to my ears, Hillary Clinton lied on him. | ||
| When Hillary Clinton said that Colonel Colin Powell had endorsed her, that wasn't true. | ||
| He said it out of his mouth. | ||
| I said, oh, it's another side to the story. | ||
| And that's what woke you up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It woke me up. | |
| I've been with our president ever since then. | ||
| And are you seeing that shift in the black community waking up to the lives of the Democrats? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Especially black men. | |
| Only 8%. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| Go ahead, Steve. | ||
| No, about the black man. | ||
| I want to ask her as a native of Chicago and someone I'm sure loves Chicago. | ||
| The mayor of Chicago, tomorrow was supposed to be the first of the mass deportations, raids on criminal illegal aliens by Tom Holman. | ||
| And the mayor, who's a big proponent of sanctuary cities, dared President Trump to come in and do it. | ||
| That may or may not be in whole. | ||
| We're trying to get clarity. | ||
| What are her thoughts on that? | ||
| Her beloved Chicago is a sanctuary city where President Trump has to send his forces in first. | ||
| Yeah, what do you think about looking at the mayor of Chicago, Mayor Johnson, defying President Trump? | ||
| And now we've got Holman saying he's going in. | ||
| That's going to be the tip of the spear. | ||
| They're starting in Chicago. | ||
| It may be postponed for a little while, but that's where they're going. | ||
| How do you feel about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't wait. | |
| I can't wait. | ||
| Because let me tell you something. | ||
| America is great. | ||
| It was great when I was a child. | ||
| Our parents made $60 an hour. | ||
| In today's money, working for Ford, the steel mill, there was 23,000 manufacturing jobs in Chicago in the 60s. | ||
| It was money flowing. | ||
| Manufacturers need hands. | ||
| They don't care if the hands are black hands, black, green hands. | ||
| They need hands. | ||
| So it doesn't matter. | ||
| People made money. | ||
| You came out of high school not know nothing. | ||
| You're going to get $25 an hour to start. | ||
| Minimum wage was only $2. | ||
| Ask me how I know. | ||
| I worked at Burger King for $2.65 when I came home from school. | ||
| No. | ||
| Thank God. | ||
| But, you know, God had to let the Democrats steal the last election. | ||
| Because people, ordinary people, Democrats, middle of the road, everybody, didn't know who we're fighting. | ||
| They didn't know how demonic We're fighting to Satan. | ||
| How can you take a man, get breast sewn on him, and have him running around the White House naked on Easter? | ||
| Come on now, give me a break, somebody. | ||
| What? | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| So it's all good. | ||
| But I can't wait for a homie to go knock on the door and talk to that boy because it's just... | ||
| Should he go to jail? | ||
| Should Johnson go to jail? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think he should. | |
| I think because isn't that illegal? | ||
| To, you know, harbor criminals? | ||
| That's illegal. | ||
| And the worst thing about it was... | ||
| Oh, excuse me, my mouth is dry. | ||
| In my own eyes, I saw this. | ||
| I went to Chicago. | ||
| In my own eyes, there's a building. | ||
| That's a red brick building. | ||
| And it's like a block long. | ||
| Warm buses. | ||
| In front of the building. | ||
| Then you look down the street under the viaduct. | ||
| Y'all know where the viaduct is in Chicago. | ||
| That's the overbridge, you know. | ||
| It was black people, homeless, veterans, was all living up under that bridge. | ||
| And they got these illegal aliens coming and giving them everything. | ||
| I couldn't understand that. | ||
| But the plan. | ||
| It didn't work. | ||
| It worked with Daley the first time. | ||
| Because Daley said, Daddy Daley made Chicago Democratic forever when he sent his precinct captains down to the train station, because all trains went through Chicago. | ||
| Went to the train station and started talking to people that was obviously not from here. | ||
| They gave them a job and a house. | ||
| The only requirement, they had to vote Democrat. | ||
| If you didn't vote Democrat, you lose your job. | ||
| Even if you worked for the city, you had to vote Democrat. | ||
| Hey, brighter days. | ||
| Brighter days are ahead. | ||
| Ben, hang on for a second. | ||
| We're going to come right back to you. | ||
| So just stick right there. | ||
| We're hearing from the voice of the people. | ||
| Vox Populi, Vox Dei. | ||
| We're going to also go to Capital One Center. | ||
| They are seating the VIPs. | ||
| The president may be out momentarily. | ||
| I think we're going to take this break or blow it. | ||
| We're going to take it. | ||
| Take the break in a couple of minutes or blow the break waiting for the president. | ||
| We'll take the break. | ||
| We'll give you a couple of minutes. | ||
| Having a slight technical problem with all the networks in the Capital Center. | ||
| We have our own David Zier is there. | ||
| Michelle Bacchus is there. | ||
| I think Brian Glenn is heading over there. | ||
| What's going to happen in the Capital One Center because of the frigid weather is also not a parade today or the parade is going to take place in Capital Center or some version of the parade is going to take place in Capital Center. | ||
| You have the Army Field Band right now is playing their amazing music. | ||
| And President Trump is going to enter. | ||
| The VIPs are entering. | ||
| He'll be in in a few minutes. | ||
| Part of the exercise today at the Capital One Center is President Trump is going to sign even more executive orders. | ||
| Already signing dozens and dozens and dozens. | ||
| Everything from taking woke out of different institutions to the energy full. | ||
| Energy dominance. | ||
| Full-spectrum energy dominance. | ||
| Remember, that's the predicate, as we've talked here in the War Room, to have a robust, thriving economy. | ||
| I want to thank the team at Home Title Lock. | ||
| We're going to need you at the Ramparts. | ||
| Starting today, President Trump promised and committed he would change the direction of the country before sundown on his first day in office, and he is doing it all over the country. | ||
| In fact, we'll try to get Oscar Blue Ramirez to give us a report from Mexico. | ||
| We're going to take it. | ||
| Okay, the family's coming out. | ||
| I tell you, we may not go to break. | ||
| Can we stick with it right here? | ||
| Let's go ahead and go to the Capitol Center. | ||
| I want to see the family is coming out. | ||
| That means the President of the United States will be short. | ||
| In fact, let's go there live right now to the Capitol Center, President Donald J. Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| OK, what you're seeing there, we're going to keep the visual up from the feed, the Capital we're going to keep the visual up from the feed, That's the family coming out. | ||
| VIPs have come out. | ||
| It's quite interesting. | ||
| We monitor everything here. | ||
| My producer, Harry, tells me MSNBC cut away from the family as soon as they can't stand it. | ||
| The family's so kind of all-American. | ||
| Don Jr. had Eric, had the wives, had Barron. | ||
| When they isolated Barron up on the big screen, MSNBC cut away. | ||
| So right there you see the family. | ||
| You see the reception they got. | ||
| From inside the arena. | ||
| This is a day of kind of jubilation and joy. | ||
| It's a day of celebration. | ||
| Remember, in 2017... | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| Music's going to start, but the President will come out. | ||
| Let's go to Capital One Center. | ||
| Here's some of the Army band. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| At the Temple Men's Center. | ||
| President's family is there. | ||
| The VIPs are there. | ||
| We have David Zier and Michelle Bacchus. | ||
| Are they ready? | ||
| Let's go to them. | ||
| We had a little problem technically. | ||
| Let's go back to David Zier, Michelle Bacchus. | ||
| Put us in the room, folks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stage. | |
| Barron Trump, a fan favorite. | ||
| He got a huge round of applause, but you can hear that the crowd, they've been waiting for this all day, Steve. | ||
| You can actually see right behind me, Ivanka, Tiffany, they're panning over throughout the entire family right now. | ||
| A memorable day for anyone who's here. | ||
| And all these people came from all over the country. | ||
| Rap fans everywhere. | ||
| War Room fans everywhere. | ||
| A guy just bought us pretzels for the crew. | ||
| They're all hurting. | ||
| They're all looking for a sign of hope. | ||
| They've got to get inflation down. | ||
| Kids can't buy houses, right? | ||
| They can't buy eggs. | ||
| Seven, eight, nine dollars a dozen in New York City. | ||
| So these people are clamoring for fast change and a new direction for our country. | ||
| So what we're here, folks, at the Capital One Center, we're doing a little differently this cycle, is that we're going to have a parade, or I guess some sort of mini parade, or some sort of manifestation. | ||
| You've got the VIPs there, you have many cabinet officials there, you have the family there, as it goes around and isolates people on the big screen of the Jumbotron, people getting standing ovations. | ||
| People should understand. | ||
| Michelle, you told me people were lined up at 4 or 5 in the morning. | ||
| They've been actually in the building since 8 or 9 this morning. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's exactly it. | |
| And the concessions opened around 9 o'clock. | ||
| People had cheeseburgers, chicken fingers at 9 a.m. | ||
| But everyone's in good spirits. | ||
| Everyone's been very hopeful, excited all day. | ||
| I haven't heard anyone complain, Steve. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, I haven't heard anyone complain about it getting moved indoors as well. | ||
| That is something everyone just says they'd rather be safe than sorry. | ||
| Obviously, safety a number one concern. | ||
| Yeah, you know, my concern about this is that I think, and President Trump will take this to... | ||
| We'll get very serious about this initially. | ||
| What is coming in now? | ||
| Is that one of the bans? | ||
| Okay, we're going to cut to this in a second. | ||
| But I think one of the concerns about safety and security clearly wasn't weather today. | ||
| We've heard two conflicting narratives. | ||
| One, it was the outer ring that the police departments would not cooperate with the Metropolitan Police of D.C. because of the mayor, Bowser. | ||
| And they said they couldn't secure the outer ring. | ||
| The outer perimeter, people got very nervous of what could happen, actually, in the crowd. | ||
| They're expected to be a million people, 250,000 tickets, I think. | ||
| And then 750,000 folks just arriving. | ||
| They couldn't guarantee it. | ||
| Others was this drone situation. | ||
| I'm sure President Trump is going to look into it very tightly. | ||
| Let's go back to the Capitol Center. | ||
| and let's go back and hear what's happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the direction of Major Aaron Morris, let's hear it for the folks. | |

unidentified
|
Hi, Steve. | |
| So what was very moving here about this parade here, originally it was 7,000 people, I think, participating in it. | ||
| But what was moving is they had Corey Comparatory's fire jacket leading this ensemble in this parade. | ||
| I don't know who is participating in the band right now who marched out, but definitely a very moving moment here. | ||
| And we saw law enforcement and firefighters across the country, firefighters union, law enforcement endorsements from all over the country. | ||
| David, hang on one second. | ||
