[Music]
well there it is
have a good life we will see you soon
said that a couple of times
towards the end a shorter address than
we were
expecting but members of his family
flanking him and we heard brief words
too
from the first lady melania trump but
uh let me just whiz through some of the
things he said he talked about an
incredible four years he said
we have achieved great things he talked
about
it not being a regular administration he
then
talked about uh the veterans how they've
been
very badly treated before how he had
corrected that
i suppose the last of donald trump's
speeches to be fact checked because of
course
all of those things hugely disputed um
but after talking about veterans he
talked about the tax cuts he delivered
he talked about the job numbers that
have been doing so well
before coronavirus hit he talked about
the greatest economy in the world and
talked about uh how america had been hit
just like so many other countries around
the world from coronavirus
but not acknowledging the nearly 400 000
fatalities there have been in the us
a catastrophic number under his
leadership but then talked about the
miracle of developing a vaccine inside
nine months
talked towards the end about uh
appointing 300 federal judges three
supreme court justices and he said it's
been my
greatest honor to have been your
president
i will be back in some form soon he said
let us bring in mary trump who was
listening to that
and mary your snapshot assessment of
what you just heard
well it's true to form um he got in his
racism
uh he took credit for not only for
obama's administration
and obama's economy but he preemptively
is taking credit
for joe biden's administrative
accomplishments uh which is quite
something
um he as you mentioned didn't even
acknowledge
uh the devastation this country has
suffered due to his
willfully malignant inaction
and mismanagement of uh the coronavirus
um i believe that four hundred thousand
over four hundred thousand deaths are
directly due to him
he took no responsibility for anything
he took credit for things that had
nothing to do with him
the fact that he's saying anything about
our veterans is disgraceful
because he is not only a five-time draft
dodger but he is referred to our service
members and our veterans as suckers and
losers
yeah so i sincerely hope that this is
the last time
donald gets the kind of coverage he just
got today
um i'm happy to see the back of him uh
his administration has been one of the
greatest tragedies this country has ever
suffered through and i hope we do
everything in our power to protect
against
anything like this ever from ever
happening again
and we see the president and the first
lady go through the doors
as they get on board air force one for
the last time that
journey down to florida here's a really
simple question
for you mary do you think either of them
enjoyed the experience no and
that's one of the fascinating things is
donald never
not only did he never do the job he
never seemed to want to do the job
and um it's
i think the fact that he fought so
hard to stay in it had absolutely
nothing to do
with his desire to serve the american
people and
everything to do with the fact that he
wanted to maintain the powers and
protections of the oval office
so he could continue to avoid
the lawsuits and
the state level charges and the
potential bankruptcies
i was just keeping half an eye on the
pictures from blair house because now
that uh
final statement uh we've heard from the
president has been done
we go to another part of central
washington because
the president-elect is due to leave
blair house he's heading
to mass at a cathedral a short distance
away before
the real inauguration proper all of
those things that have been
uh mapped out uh uh take place and we
see just uh from that tent the curtains
draw back uh the
the cars ready themselves so i don't
think we're that far away from uh
joe biden actually departing uh mary you
touched on it a couple of times because
uh
we haven't seen this sort of thing
before on inauguration day which is the
outgoing
president give some sort of summation of
how
he thinks the last four years have been
because ordinarily
the outgoing president uh very much
involved
in everything we're seeing on the
screens at the moment and it is the
incoming president that we hear from
well as we continue to see those
pictures of that motorcade
just get underway uh let me just uh try
once again with
uh mary trump uh just a concluding
thought mary as
uh we see joe biden's motorcade
as he uh just prepares to head to uh
saint matthews cathedral for mass ahead
of
inauguration proper and all the things
on capitol hill your your final
concluding thoughts 30 seconds
i it is an enormous relief to have
dignity
grace decency
empathy and compassion
back in the white house along with
competence and a desire to do
everything possible to heal this country
well mary trump thank you very much for
being with us for the last half an hour
or so
both in anticipation of uh donald trump
arriving at andrews
and uh your thoughts uh after hearing
from the
outgoing president he is now on board
air force one the rest of the family
also just in the last few minutes
getting on board interesting it was
rather more subdued than perhaps we were
led to
expect we know that uh donald trump had
wanted a 21-gun salute we'd want
he talked about perhaps having a
military parade he talked about hundreds
of people
gathering there at andrews air force
base
it was interesting because a huge sort
of general invitation
went out including to anthony scaramucci
uh just one of the people who received
an invitation
yesterday and of course scaramucci has
been so blistering
in his criticisms over the last year or
so
since leaving of course he served for 11
days there
in the white house but it suggested a
rather
blanket invitation being circulated
and of course the vice president mike
pence not there at andrews he will be
partaking in those inauguration
