wow joe biden officially sworn in and is
our 46th president today
the new commander-in-chief at the white
house right now
and is in the oval office for the first
time
biden stressing unity in his
inauguration speech
promising to be a president for all
americans
few people in our nation's history have
been more
challenged or found a time more
challenging
or difficult than the time we're in now
once in a century virus that silently
stalks the country
a rise of political extremism white
supremacy
domestic terrorism that we must confront
and we will defeat
to overcome these challenges to restore
the soul and secure the future of
america
requires so much more than words
requires the most elusive of all things
in a democracy
unity i promise you i will fight as hard
for those who did not support me
as for those who did we must end this
uncivil war that pits red against blue
rural versus ireland or rural versus
urban
conservative versus liberal politics
doesn't have to be a raging fire
destroying everything in its path
and we must reject the culture in which
facts themselves
are manipulated and even manufactured
my fellow americans we have to be
different than this
america has to be better than this
joe biden at the capitol today as he was
inaugurated the 46th president of the
united states dana perino
i thought the most memorable line of the
speech was when he said we need to
end this uncivil war red versus blue
conservative versus liberal he asked
voters to give him a chance especially
those who did not vote for him was the
outreach effective
well i think it just remains to be seen
um but i think that the speech was
fairly well received
across the board um but it was to be
expected i mean i don't think that he
said a lot that was different to what he
said
even at his nomination speech at the dnc
when we were here in dc for
for that um i do think that you know the
the patriotism and the grace notes
that he tried to hit they sounded good
for today and i think everyone
is in agreement then it's what you do
going forward just a little bit here
he's going to be signing some executive
orders
um there's a lot of them 17 of them some
of them are quite benign others are
quite serious and i think that
the white house at 7 pm when they have
their press first press briefing
will really need to explain why are we
stopping the construction on the border
wall
why do we want to stop the uh xl
pipeline why do we think it's good to
uh return to the paris climate accord
and other things like that they've
they've got their work cut out for them
but
they had a pretty good day i thought
they organized it very well very strange
kind of day with the pandemic um but
i'll turn it over to my colleagues who
haven't had a chance to talk yet today
jesse how about you i i i'm very
interested in hearing your response
chris wallace here on fox said he
and chris wallace has heard a number of
inauguration speeches said
it was the best he had ever heard it was
upbeat
quite a contrast to president trump who
can be
you know talk of american carnage and
the like here's the president coming in
saying
you know what uh sunlight hope and
optimism we can do it let's come
together
let's heal well chris has heard a few
more of these than i have juan
but i will respectfully disagree
personally i did not think it was the
best inaugural address
i had ever heard i thought it was okay i
i
what struck me was how dramatically he
overreached by
resurrecting the civil war era saying
this country
split down the middle on race and like
lincoln
his whole soul is dedicated to uniting
the country
healing this divide and ending this
uncivil war
this is 2020. america's not split down
the middle on race
race wasn't even one of the top issues
for voters in the election
it was coveted the economy public safety
and health care
so to falsely frame half the country is
racist
i i don't feel like jives with his unity
message and it makes me think
that he's really just going to use the
race card to divide and conquer but juan
as i said
i will be fair to joe i don't care what
he says i care what he does
so it would mean a lot if he did perhaps
tell antifa to knock it off tell nancy
and chuck to knock off
impeachment tell the fbi to stop locking
up their political opponents
you know tell the people that support
him to stop canceling other people
that right there would do a lot for
unity
but in terms of the rest of the ceremony
i was moved i thought
garth brooks pretty much crushed it
and then you had amanda gorman this
young
poet who read the hill we climb i almost
cried juan
i almost shed a tear until i realized
i'm a man
and i'm not allowed to show any emotion
but that was good
very good well you know what jesse you
know we know each other you can shed a
tear my friend
uh great okay you know greg i got a
puzzling one because i really don't have
an answer to this question for you
you know the q anon people the proud
boys they all said oh
you know president trump's going to stay
in office
joe biden won't take office that's all a
fraud
what it what happens to these people and
their conspiracy theories
now that joe biden is in office
that's a great question what happened to
all those conspiracy theorists
uh that believe that russia got trump
elected where did they go oh that's
right they got promoted in the media
anyway you i'm surprised you didn't ask
me what i thought of the inauguration i
guess you wanted me to take the bait
but um i did watch the inauguration
because i couldn't resist
because oddly enough resistance is no
longer acceptable or approved
now that they won it's all about unity
and we all must join the ranks
of rampant butt kissers um i don't know
about you
i'm gonna go out on a limb i think the
media coverage today
feels slightly friendlier than the one
four years ago
but maybe that's just my bias i wonder
if people at home notice
how vomitous this has become especially
okay
i am 100 for a call for unity
i wrote a book on it i believe there
should be a call for unity
until you consider the source a party
and a candidate that pushed
smears that ginned up racial division
and other kinds of divisions
toward half a population the democrats
manufactured the divide
they seasoned it they watered it and it
culminated in a year of violence
on get this both sides so there you go
equality
so the dems are great at creating a
problem and then saying that they have
the solution
this is called extortion but a call for
unity from
joe is like a child calling for glue
after smashing a lamp so before we can
heal this so-called
divide this hypothetical divide we have
to look at its roots where did it come
from
and the fact is a divide and us versus
them has already
always been there but it was always one
way only
it was the media in the elite attacking
us
and there was no attack response the
media had no qualms demonizing clarence
thomas
bork bush mick mccain the nra
pro-lifers uh they had no qualms mocking
the south
the midwest the flyover rubes the
religious who cling to their guns and
their bibles
the reason the reason why there was no
polarization
narrative was because there was only one
poll and then trump came in and got
us to confront them and that is why he's
been
shoved out of the of the will into the
wilderness by the people so relieved
that they have one of them back in
so the narrative of this national rift
it comes from the press to shift the
blame off them
while preserving their profits which
come from just
people ripping each other apart
americans aren't at each other's throats
it's the media industrial complex at
america's throat
hence their embracing now of identity
politics which only drives a wedge
further between americans by playing
down
the american in you and playing up the
other identities
that help indulge victimhood so
ironically we have the sleepiest
president trying to be the most woke
it's gonna be fun
i'm enjoying it other than that though
an amazing inauguration
i agree with chris wallace the greatest
inauguration i have
ever seen in my entire life and you know
what i'll even go further than chris
wallace
it's the greatest inauguration i will
ever see
ever see i don't even i think we should
just stop the inaugurations
stop the inaugurations this is it
i'm gonna cry again oh there we go i
know there you go
katie uh you know joe biden during his
speech he said he reminded us that
a hundred years ago here in washington
they were trying to stop women
from marching for the right to vote
today we saw a woman
become the vice president also you know
a woman of color
what was your feeling about this what
did you think
well i am happy for vice president
harris and that she has ascended to this
position
but i i also believe that all women who
ascend to these positions should be
celebrated i mean you had supreme court
justice amy coney barrett there
today and her uh promotion to the
supreme court was treated very
differently
than we're seeing a number of liberal
women when they reach these new heights
and break these glass ceilings i'm happy
for
the new bright vice president i'm glad
that women feel like she can be
a role model for them but i base my
role models on experience and their
credibility not necessarily based on the
fact that they are also
just women but i do want to say
something real quickly about joe biden
and his calls for unity
uh you know we've been talking a lot
about republicans and whether joe biden
can unite with the republican party and
whether republicans are willing to just
agree with everything and go along for
the sake of unity
but i think he's going to get a lot of
pushback from his left flank about this
whole unity call i mean there's a lot of
people on the far left who want
no unity at all when it comes to working
with republicans
these are people who think that anybody
who voted for trump should be
reprogrammed deprogrammed that they
should be completely shut out of the
debate that they shouldn't have to
compromise on anything despite the
senate and the house being very close
so you know yes there are two parties in
washington dc who are negotiating
on a lot of different issues but i think
joe biden has to worry about
people pushing him from his left on
these issues of trying to come to find
some common ground when we've seen
the narrative over the last three months
