1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,640
Ladies and gentlemen, the Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee for Inaugural

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,920
Ceremonies, the Honorable Roy Blunt.

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Thank you all.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,520
If you have a seat, you can sit down.

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:25,120
Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Mr. President-elect, Mr. Vice President-elect, ladies and gentlemen,

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Welcome to the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States of America.

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,120
Today, the legislative, the executive, the judicial branches of our constitutional government

8
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,120
come together for the 58th inauguration of the President of the United States.

9
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,120
Millions of people all over the world will watch and will listen to this event.

10
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:03,120
Thirty-six years ago at his first inauguration, it was also the first inauguration on this side of the Capitol,

11
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,120
President Ronald Reagan said that what we do here is both commonplace and miraculous.

12
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:20,480
commonplace every four years since 1789 when President George Washington took this exact same oath.

13
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:32,140
Miraculous because we've done it every four years since 1789 and the example it sets for democracies everywhere.

14
00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:41,000
Washington believed the inauguration of the second president would be more important than the inauguration of the first.

15
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:51,740
Many people had taken control of a government up until then, but few people had ever turned that control willingly over to anyone else.

16
00:01:51,740 --> 00:02:02,040
And as important as the first transfer of power was, many historians believe that the next election was even more important.

17
00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:11,800
when in 18 and 1, one group of people, arguably for the first time ever in history, willingly, if not enthusiastically,

18
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:21,920
gave control of the government to people they believed had a dramatically different view of what the government would, should, and could do.

19
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:32,020
After that election, that actually discovered a flaw in the Constitution itself, which was remedied by the 12th Amendment,

20
00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:39,480
Thomas Jefferson, at that inauguration, beyond the chaos of the election that had just passed, said,

21
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,320
we are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.

22
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:51,560
After four years of Civil War, Lincoln's second inaugural speech tried to find reason for the continued war

23
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,880
when he pointed out that both sides prayed to the same God.

24
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:03,980
He'd earlier written about those fervid prayers that one side must be and both sides may be wrong.

25
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:14,440
But in 1865, he looked to the future, and the memorable moment in that speech was with malice toward none and charity for all.

26
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:20,680
In the middle of the Depression, the country was told that the only thing we had to fear was fear itself.

27
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,120
and President Kennedy talked about the obligation in democracy to country.

28
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:31,900
The great question that day was ask what you can do for your country.

29
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,260
So we come to this place again, commonplace and miraculous,

30
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:42,900
a national moment of celebration, but not a celebration of victory,

31
00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:46,040
a celebration of democracy.

32
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:52,640
And as we begin that celebration, I call on His Eminence, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan,

33
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,980
Reverend Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, and Pastor Paula White-Cain to provide readings and the invocation.

34
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:21,700
the prayer of King Solomon from the book of wisdom let us pray God of our ancestors and Lord of mercy

35
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:29,700
you have made all things and in your providence have charged us to rule the creatures

36
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:38,360
produced by you to govern the world in holiness and righteousness and to render judgment with

37
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,440
integrity of heart.

38
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Give us wisdom, for we are your servants, weak and short-lived, lacking in comprehension

39
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,260
of judgment and of laws.

40
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:56,840
Indeed, though one might be perfect among mortals,

41
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,080
if wisdom which comes from you be lacking,

42
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,100
we count for nothing.

43
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Now with you is wisdom,

44
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,120
who knows your will and was there when you made the world,

45
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,880
who understands what is pleasing in your eyes,

46
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,860
what is conformable with your commands.

47
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,980
Send her forth from your holy heavens,

48
00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:24,280
from your glorious throne dispatch her,

49
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,280
that she may be with us and work with us,

50
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
that we may grasp what is pleasing to you,

51
00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:35,200
for she knows and understands all things

52
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,060
and will guide us prudently in our affairs

53
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:40,900
and safeguard us by her glory.

54
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:41,660
Amen.

55
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:50,180
From the Gospel of Matthew, the fifth chapter.

56
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,160
God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him,

57
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,280
for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

58
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,160
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

59
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:07,860
God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the earth.

60
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:13,640
God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.

61
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:18,640
God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

62
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,940
He blesses those who are pure in heart, for they will see God.

63
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,220
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called children of God.

64
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,020
God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

65
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:40,340
And God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you

66
00:06:40,340 --> 00:06:45,140
and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.

67
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:47,520
for you are the light of the world

68
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,560
like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

69
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,100
No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket.

70
00:06:55,860 --> 00:06:58,060
Instead, a lamp is placed on its stand

71
00:06:58,060 --> 00:07:01,020
where it gives light to everyone in the house.

72
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,500
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see

73
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:10,360
that everyone will praise your heavenly Father

74
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
respectfully in Jesus' name.

75
00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:28,840
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.

76
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:39,820
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.

77
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:51,080
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 our gratitude.

78
00:07:51,740 --> 00:08:03,020
As a nation, we now pray for our president, Donald John Trump, Vice President Michael Richard Pence, and their families.

79
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:10,420
we ask that you would bestow upon our president the wisdom necessary to lead this great nation,

80
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:17,640
the grace to unify us, and the strength to stand for what is honorable and right in your sight.

81
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:24,200
In Proverbs 21.1, you instruct us that our leader's heart is in your hands.

82
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:31,560
Gracious God, reveal unto our president the ability to know the will, your will,

83
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:39,160
the confidence to lead us in justice and righteousness, and the compassion to yield

84
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:45,720
to our better angels. While we know there are many challenges before us, in every generation

85
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:52,820
you have provided the strength and power to become that blessed nation. Guide us in discernment, Lord,

86
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,600
and give us that strength to persevere and thrive. Now bind and heal our wounds and divisions,

87
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:07,760
and join our nation to your purpose. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, the psalmist declared.

88
00:09:08,420 --> 00:09:17,220
Let your favor be upon this one nation under God. Let these United States of America be that beacon

89
00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:25,040
of hope to all people and nations under your dominion, a true hope for humankind. Glory to

90
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:32,880
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

91
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,000
Ladies and gentlemen, the Missouri State University Chorale.

92
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Here is the place of strangers welcome,

93
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:10,040
we who once walked in strangers' shoes.

94
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:20,040
Once we were strangers, we were welcome.

95
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:35,860
And now, now, now, now, now, now we live in this land.

96
00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:39,980
But remains in the sweepstakes,

97
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:45,660
beyond for our horizons'

98
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:52,700
He is that simple,

99
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:56,540
though is beautiful

100
00:10:56,540 --> 00:10:59,780
What should he be treatise

101

� œil requests

102
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:17,580
Once we have changed, now I will love and believe in this land.

103
00:11:17,580 --> 00:11:28,780
Keep faith, keep watch, take heart, take courage, take heart, take courage.

104
00:11:28,780 --> 00:11:45,620
And heart, heart, spirit, feed love, feed longing, feed longing.

105
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:56,700
Here are the cities where we are gathered, here are the gods, well-fistled, restored.

106
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:03,260
We are the gleams of every being,

107
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:12,140
To build with the dreams that build the day.

108
00:12:12,140 --> 00:12:22,140
Once we were strangers with the world,

109
00:12:22,140 --> 00:12:28,740
We love, love, love, love, love,

110
00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:36,180

Take courage, keep what's belonging.

Feed love, feed love, feed love, feed love.

115
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:57,552
Thank you Well the Missouri State University Corral practices and performs about two blocks from

116
00:13:57,552 --> 00:14:02,212
my home in Springfield, Missouri, so it was easy to find them and we're pleased they're

117
00:14:02,212 --> 00:14:03,212
here.

118
00:14:03,212 --> 00:14:15,552
It's also a great opportunity for me to introduce my colleague, the Senator from New York, Chuck

119
00:14:15,552 --> 00:14:23,352
Schumer.

120
00:14:23,352 --> 00:14:30,252
My fellow Americans, we live in a challenging and tumultuous time, a quickly evolving, ever

121
00:14:30,252 --> 00:14:37,092
more interconnected world, a rapidly changing economy that benefits too few while leaving

122
00:14:37,092 --> 00:14:45,272
too many behind, a fractured media, a politics frequently consumed by rancor.

123
00:14:45,272 --> 00:14:50,072
We face threats, foreign and domestic.

124
00:14:50,072 --> 00:15:00,012
In such times, faith in our government, our institutions, and even our country can erode.

125
00:15:00,012 --> 00:15:08,432
Despite these challenges, I stand here today confident in this great country for one reason,

126
00:15:08,432 --> 00:15:18,472
you, the American people.

127
00:15:18,472 --> 00:15:25,852
We Americans have always been a forward-looking, problem-solving, optimistic, patriotic, and

128
00:15:25,852 --> 00:15:27,792
decent people.

129
00:15:27,792 --> 00:15:34,292
Whatever our race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, whether we are immigrant

130
00:15:34,292 --> 00:15:42,752
or native born, whether we live with disabilities or do not, in wealth or in poverty, we are

131
00:15:42,752 --> 00:15:50,972
all exceptional in our commonly held yet fierce devotion to our country and in our willingness

132
00:15:50,972 --> 00:15:59,652
to sacrifice our time, energy, and even our lives to making it a more perfect union.

133
00:15:59,652 --> 00:16:06,832
Today we celebrate one of democracy's core attributes, the peaceful transfer of power.

134
00:16:06,832 --> 00:16:14,592
And every day we stand up for core democratic principles enshrined in the Constitution.

135
00:16:14,592 --> 00:16:23,732
The rule of law, equal protection for all under law, the freedom of speech, press, religion,

136
00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:27,872
that the things that make America, America.

137
00:16:27,872 --> 00:16:33,472
And we can gain strength from reading our history and listening to the voices of average

138
00:16:33,472 --> 00:16:34,972
Americans.

139
00:16:34,972 --> 00:16:39,552
They always save us in times of strife.

140
00:16:39,552 --> 00:16:44,092
One such American was Major Sullivan Ballou.

141
00:16:44,092 --> 00:16:51,932
On July 14, 1861, when the North and South were lining up for their first battle, a time

142
00:16:51,932 --> 00:16:56,432
when our country was bitterly divided and faith in the future of our country was at

143
00:16:56,432 --> 00:17:04,772
a nadir, Major Ballou of the Second Rhode Island Volunteers penned a letter to his wife,

144
00:17:04,772 --> 00:17:06,112
Sarah.

145
00:17:06,112 --> 00:17:09,232
It is one of the greatest letters in American history.

146
00:17:09,232 --> 00:17:13,992
It shows the strength and courage of the average American.

147
00:17:13,992 --> 00:17:20,152
Allow me to read some of his words, which echo through the ages.

148
00:17:20,152 --> 00:17:26,852
My very dear Sarah, he wrote, the indications are very strong that we shall move in a few

149
00:17:26,852 --> 00:17:30,412
days, perhaps tomorrow.

150
00:17:30,412 --> 00:17:36,832
If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my country, I am ready.

151
00:17:36,832 --> 00:17:43,452
I have no misgivings about or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my

152
00:17:43,452 --> 00:17:47,792
courage does not halt or falter.

153
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:53,932
I know how strongly American civilization now leans upon the triumph of the government,

154
00:17:53,932 --> 00:17:59,112
and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering

155
00:17:59,112 --> 00:18:00,972
of the revolution.

156
00:18:00,972 --> 00:18:09,192
And I am willing, perfectly willing, to lay down all my joys in this life to help maintain

157
00:18:09,192 --> 00:18:13,752
this government and to pay that debt.

158
00:18:13,752 --> 00:18:17,292
Sarah, my love for you is deathless.

159
00:18:17,292 --> 00:18:23,732
It seems to bind me to you with the mighty cables that nothing but omnipotence can break.

160
00:18:23,732 --> 00:18:30,692
And yet, my love of country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly

161
00:18:30,692 --> 00:18:35,652
on with all these chains to the battlefield."

162
00:18:35,652 --> 00:18:45,412
Sullivan Ballou gave his life on the battlefield a week later at the first battle of Bull Run.

163
00:18:45,412 --> 00:18:50,832
It is because Sullivan Ballou and countless others believed in something bigger than themselves

164
00:18:50,832 --> 00:18:57,612
and were willing to sacrifice for it, that we stand today in the full blessings of liberty

165
00:18:57,612 --> 00:19:00,932
in the greatest country on earth.

166
00:19:00,932 --> 00:19:07,872
And that spirit lives on in each of us, Americans whose families have been here for generations

167
00:19:07,872 --> 00:19:10,832
and those who have just arrived.

168
00:19:10,832 --> 00:19:15,372
And I know our best days are yet to come.

169
00:19:15,372 --> 00:19:19,852
I urge all Americans to read Ballou's full letter.

170
00:19:19,852 --> 00:19:24,612
His words give me solace, strength.

171
00:19:24,612 --> 00:19:31,092
I hope they will give you the same.

172
00:19:31,092 --> 00:19:38,492
Now please stand while the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas, administers

173
00:19:38,492 --> 00:19:42,612
the oath of office to the Vice President of the United States.

174
00:19:49,852 --> 00:20:09,612
Mr. Vice President-elect, would you raise your right hand and repeat after me.

175
00:20:09,612 --> 00:20:14,612
I, Michael Richard Pence, do solemnly swear.

176
00:20:14,612 --> 00:20:18,952
I, Michael Richard Pence, do solemnly swear.

177
00:20:18,952 --> 00:20:27,832
That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States

178
00:20:27,832 --> 00:20:35,252
against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

179
00:20:35,252 --> 00:20:42,252
That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.

180
00:20:42,252 --> 00:20:56,732
That I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.

181
00:20:56,732 --> 00:21:07,832
And that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about

182
00:21:07,832 --> 00:21:14,832
to enter. The duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. So help

183
00:21:14,832 --> 00:21:16,832
me God. Congratulations.

184
00:21:37,832 --> 00:22:07,812
Thank you.

185
00:22:07,832 --> 00:22:14,832
.

186
00:22:30,132 --> 00:22:34,212
Ladies and gentlemen, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir accompanied by the President's own

187
00:22:34,212 --> 00:22:36,212
United States Marine Band.

188
00:22:37,832 --> 00:22:45,832
CHOIR SINGS

189
00:23:07,832 --> 00:23:22,912
America, thou shed his grace on thee, and from a good with brother, from sea to shining sea.

190
00:23:22,912 --> 00:23:32,192
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, who stern in passion's stress,

191
00:23:32,192 --> 00:23:41,192
a thoroughfare of freedom meet across the wilderness.

192
00:23:41,192 --> 00:23:50,572
America, America, what did thine every fall?

193
00:23:50,572 --> 00:24:01,012
Confirm my soul in self-enjoy, my liberty in love.

194
00:24:01,012 --> 00:24:11,592
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,

195
00:24:11,592 --> 00:24:20,832
Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life.

196
00:24:21,212 --> 00:24:30,052
America, America, may God thy gold refine,

197
00:24:30,052 --> 00:24:39,352
Till all success be novelous and every name divine.

198
00:24:39,352 --> 00:25:09,332
Thank you.

199
00:25:09,352 --> 00:25:15,752
O heaven, God shed his grace on me.

200
00:25:15,752 --> 00:25:25,752
And power, O the brother, from sea to shining sea.

201
00:25:25,752 --> 00:25:37,752
O power, O the brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

202
00:25:39,352 --> 00:26:07,352
Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to introduce the Chief Justice of the United States, John

203
00:26:07,352 --> 00:26:13,032
John G. Roberts, Jr., who will administer the Presidential Oath of Office.

204
00:26:13,032 --> 00:26:18,572
Everyone please stand.

205
00:26:18,572 --> 00:26:35,452
Please raise your right hand and repeat after me.

206
00:26:35,452 --> 00:26:39,232
I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.

207
00:26:39,612 --> 00:26:43,052
I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.

208
00:26:43,332 --> 00:26:45,472
That I will faithfully execute.

209
00:26:45,892 --> 00:26:48,132
That I will faithfully execute.

210
00:26:48,132 --> 00:26:55,132
the Office of President of the United States

211
00:26:55,132 --> 00:27:00,132
and will, to the best of my ability,

212
00:27:00,132 --> 00:27:04,132
preserve, protect, and defend

213
00:27:04,132 --> 00:27:09,132
the Constitution of the United States.

214
00:27:09,132 --> 00:27:11,132
So help me God.

215
00:27:11,132 --> 00:27:13,132
Congratulations.

216
00:27:18,132 --> 00:27:48,404
Thank you

217
00:27:48,424 --> 00:28:18,404
Thank you.

218
00:28:18,424 --> 00:28:27,304
What a great honor to be able to introduce for the first time ever, anywhere, the 45th

219
00:28:27,304 --> 00:28:32,424
President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

220
00:28:48,424 --> 00:29:06,244
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President

221
00:29:06,244 --> 00:29:18,244
Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world, thank you.

222
00:29:18,244 --> 00:29:27,164
We the citizens of America are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country

223
00:29:27,164 --> 00:29:34,404
and restore its promise for all of our people.

224
00:29:34,404 --> 00:29:43,444
Together we will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years to come.

225
00:29:43,444 --> 00:29:45,644
We will face challenges.

226
00:29:45,644 --> 00:29:48,004
We will confront hardships.

227
00:29:48,004 --> 00:29:51,504
But we will get the job done.

228
00:29:51,504 --> 00:29:56,924
Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer

229
00:29:56,924 --> 00:29:58,784
of power.

230
00:29:58,784 --> 00:30:06,504
And we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious

231
00:30:06,504 --> 00:30:10,164
aid throughout this transition.

232
00:30:10,164 --> 00:30:12,924
They have been magnificent.

233
00:30:12,924 --> 00:30:19,924
Thank you.

234
00:30:19,924 --> 00:30:26,124
Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning.

235
00:30:26,124 --> 00:30:32,704
Because today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another,

236
00:30:32,704 --> 00:30:35,044
or from one party to another.

237
00:30:35,044 --> 00:30:51,444
we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.

238
00:30:51,444 --> 00:30:58,004
For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government

239
00:30:58,004 --> 00:31:04,544
while the people have borne the cost.

240
00:31:04,544 --> 00:31:12,784
flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered, but the

241
00:31:12,784 --> 00:31:23,404
jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of

242
00:31:23,404 --> 00:31:31,144
our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been

243
00:31:31,144 --> 00:31:35,444
in your triumphs, and while they celebrated in our nation's

244
00:31:35,444 --> 00:31:39,644
capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling

245
00:31:39,644 --> 00:31:43,984
families all across our land.

246
00:31:49,564 --> 00:31:55,764
That all changes starting right here and right now,

247
00:31:55,764 --> 00:31:58,244
because this moment is your moment.

248
00:31:58,244 --> 00:32:00,244
It belongs to you.

249
00:32:01,144 --> 00:32:14,364
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

250
00:32:14,364 --> 00:32:16,204
This is your day.

251
00:32:16,204 --> 00:32:18,464
This is your celebration.

252
00:32:18,464 --> 00:32:30,984
And this, the United States of America, is your country.

253
00:32:30,984 --> 00:32:37,664
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government

254
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:44,204
is controlled by the people.

255
00:32:44,204 --> 00:32:54,704
January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation

256
00:32:54,704 --> 00:32:55,704
again.

257
00:33:00,984 --> 00:33:06,684
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

258
00:33:10,924 --> 00:33:13,204
Everyone is listening to you now.

259
00:33:13,204 --> 00:33:18,764
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement

260
00:33:18,764 --> 00:33:24,084
the likes of which the world has never seen before.

261
00:33:24,084 --> 00:33:37,984
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

262
00:33:38,764 --> 00:33:46,904
Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.

263
00:33:46,904 --> 00:33:58,384
These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public.

264
00:33:58,724 --> 00:34:03,084
But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists.

265
00:34:03,944 --> 00:34:07,844
Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities.

266
00:34:08,664 --> 00:34:14,844
Rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation.

267
00:34:14,844 --> 00:34:25,304
An education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge.

268
00:34:26,304 --> 00:34:37,984
And the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

269
00:34:37,984 --> 00:34:46,664
This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

270
00:34:46,664 --> 00:34:59,504
We are one nation and their pain is our pain.

271
00:35:00,104 --> 00:35:05,784
Their dreams are our dreams and their success will be our success.

272
00:35:05,784 --> 00:35:13,044
We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

273
00:35:13,984 --> 00:35:19,784
The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

274
00:35:25,584 --> 00:35:31,784
For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry,

275
00:35:31,784 --> 00:35:39,264
industry, subsidize the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion

276
00:35:39,264 --> 00:35:42,224
of our military.

277
00:35:42,224 --> 00:35:54,224
We've defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own.

278
00:35:54,224 --> 00:36:04,904
spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

279
00:36:05,804 --> 00:36:17,464
We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon.

280
00:36:18,604 --> 00:36:23,564
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores.

281
00:36:24,224 --> 00:36:32,264
with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind.

282
00:36:33,264 --> 00:36:43,244
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the world.

283
00:36:43,244 --> 00:36:51,324
But that is the past, and now we are looking only to the future.

284
00:36:54,224 --> 00:37:08,264
We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every

285
00:37:08,264 --> 00:37:12,804
foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

286
00:37:12,804 --> 00:37:18,964
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

287
00:37:18,964 --> 00:37:27,204
From this day forward, it's going to be only America first.

288
00:37:27,204 --> 00:37:34,524
America first.

289
00:37:34,524 --> 00:37:43,424
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit

290
00:37:43,424 --> 00:37:47,224
American workers and American families.

291
00:37:47,224 --> 00:37:54,444
We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing

292
00:37:54,444 --> 00:38:05,824
our companies, and destroying our jobs.

293
00:38:05,824 --> 00:38:09,784
Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

294
00:38:09,784 --> 00:38:14,584
I will fight for you with every breath in my body,

295
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:18,084
and I will never, ever let you down.

296
00:38:23,724 --> 00:38:26,264
America will start winning again,

297
00:38:26,264 --> 00:38:28,904
winning like never before.

298
00:38:32,984 --> 00:38:35,744
We will bring back our jobs.

299
00:38:35,744 --> 00:38:38,644
We will bring back our borders.

300
00:38:38,644 --> 00:38:44,884
We will bring back our wealth, and we will bring back our dreams.

301
00:38:51,024 --> 00:38:55,524
We will build new roads and highways and bridges and

302
00:38:55,524 --> 00:39:00,424
airports and tunnels and railways all across our

303
00:39:00,424 --> 00:39:03,004
wonderful nation.

304
00:39:03,004 --> 00:39:07,804
We will get our people off of welfare and back to work,

305
00:39:07,804 --> 00:39:12,804
rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

306
00:39:17,804 --> 00:39:20,844
We will follow two simple rules,

307
00:39:20,844 --> 00:39:24,044
buy American and hire American.

308
00:39:28,504 --> 00:39:33,244
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world,

309
00:39:33,244 --> 00:39:36,204
but we do so with the understanding

310
00:39:36,204 --> 00:39:42,344
that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

311
00:39:42,344 --> 00:39:46,304
We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone,

312
00:39:46,304 --> 00:39:50,044
but rather to let it shine as an example.

313
00:39:50,044 --> 00:39:54,164
We will shine for everyone to follow.

314
00:39:58,484 --> 00:40:02,064
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones

315
00:40:02,064 --> 00:40:07,904
and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism,

316
00:40:07,904 --> 00:40:12,404
which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

317
00:40:18,824 --> 00:40:21,084
At the bedrock of our politics,

318
00:40:21,084 --> 00:40:25,024
we'll be a total allegiance to the United States of America.

319
00:40:25,024 --> 00:40:27,764
And through our loyalty to our country,

320
00:40:27,764 --> 00:40:33,664
We will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

321
00:40:33,664 --> 00:40:36,504
When you open your heart to patriotism,

322
00:40:36,504 --> 00:40:40,004
there is no room for prejudice.

323
00:40:47,984 --> 00:40:52,484
The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is

324
00:40:52,484 --> 00:40:56,964
when God's people live together in unity.

325
00:40:56,964 --> 00:41:12,516
We must speak our minds openly debate our disagreements honestly but always pursue solidarity When America is united America is totally unstoppable

326
00:41:18,596 --> 00:41:20,716
There should be no fear.

327
00:41:20,716 --> 00:41:25,196
We are protected, and we will always be protected.

328
00:41:25,196 --> 00:41:28,456
We will be protected by the great men and women of our

329
00:41:28,456 --> 00:41:31,456
military and law enforcement.

330
00:41:31,456 --> 00:41:38,456
And most importantly, we will be protected by God.

331
00:41:45,736 --> 00:41:50,816
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

332
00:41:50,816 --> 00:41:55,156
In America, we understand that a nation is only living

333
00:41:55,156 --> 00:41:58,856
as long as it is striving.

334
00:41:58,856 --> 00:42:01,596
We will no longer accept politicians,

335
00:42:01,596 --> 00:42:04,096
who are all talk and no action,

336
00:42:04,096 --> 00:42:05,896
constantly complaining,

337
00:42:05,896 --> 00:42:08,196
but never doing anything about it.

338
00:42:17,036 --> 00:42:20,556
The time for empty talk is over.

339
00:42:20,556 --> 00:42:23,816
Now arrives the hour of action.

340
00:42:25,156 --> 00:42:34,796
Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done.

341
00:42:34,796 --> 00:42:40,436
No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

342
00:42:40,436 --> 00:42:42,276
We will not fail.

343
00:42:42,276 --> 00:42:47,316
Our country will thrive and prosper again.

344
00:42:47,316 --> 00:42:51,116
We stand at the birth of a little millennium,

345
00:42:51,116 --> 00:42:54,716
ready to unlock the mysteries of space,

346
00:42:54,716 --> 00:42:58,216
to free the Earth from the miseries of disease,

347
00:42:58,216 --> 00:43:04,516
and to harness the energies, industries, and technologies of tomorrow.

348
00:43:04,516 --> 00:43:12,176
A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.

349
00:43:12,176 --> 00:43:17,596
It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget,

350
00:43:17,596 --> 00:43:22,536
that whether we are black or brown or white,

351
00:43:22,536 --> 00:43:26,836
we all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

352
00:43:33,116 --> 00:43:36,856
We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms,

353
00:43:36,856 --> 00:43:41,056
and we all salute the same great American flag.

354
00:43:41,056 --> 00:43:53,816
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska,

355
00:43:53,816 --> 00:44:00,116
they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they

356
00:44:00,116 --> 00:44:13,756
They are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator.

357
00:44:13,756 --> 00:44:20,636
So to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain,

358
00:44:20,636 --> 00:44:33,036
From ocean to ocean, hear these words, you will never be ignored again.

359
00:44:33,036 --> 00:44:41,376
Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny.

360
00:44:41,376 --> 00:44:47,396
And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

361
00:44:47,396 --> 00:44:51,876
Together, we will make America strong again.

362
00:44:51,876 --> 00:44:55,036
We will make America wealthy again.

363
00:44:55,036 --> 00:44:58,216
We will make America proud again.

364
00:44:58,216 --> 00:45:01,216
We will make America safe again.

365
00:45:01,216 --> 00:45:07,476
And yes, together, we will make America great again.

366
00:45:07,476 --> 00:45:08,156
Thank you.

367
00:45:08,156 --> 00:45:09,556
God bless you.

368
00:45:09,556 --> 00:45:11,456
And God bless America.

369
00:45:13,556 --> 00:45:15,716
Thank you.

370
00:45:15,716 --> 00:45:16,756
God bless America.

371
00:45:17,396 --> 00:45:47,376
Thank you.

372
00:45:47,396 --> 00:46:17,036
At this time, I call on Rabbi Marvin Heyer, Reverend Franklin Graham, and Bishop Wayne

373
00:46:17,036 --> 00:46:24,036
I would like to invite John T. Jackson to provide readings and the benediction.

374
00:46:34,036 --> 00:46:41,036
Eternal God, bless President Donald J. Trump and America, our great nation.

375
00:46:41,036 --> 00:46:50,076
nation. Guide us to remember the words of the psalmist who may dwell on your holy mountain,

376
00:46:51,436 --> 00:47:01,596
one who does what is right and speaks the truth, who knows that when you eat the labor of your hands

377
00:47:01,596 --> 00:47:11,916
you are praiseworthy that he who sows in tears shall reap in joy because the freedoms we enjoy

378
00:47:12,716 --> 00:47:21,996
are not granted in perpetuity but must be reclaimed by each generation. As our ancestors

379
00:47:21,996 --> 00:47:31,036
have planted for us, so we must plant for others. While it is not for us to complete the task,

380
00:47:31,596 --> 00:47:35,116
Neither are we free to desist from them.

381
00:47:36,416 --> 00:47:43,836
Dispense justice for the needy and the orphan, for they have no one but their fellow citizens.

382
00:47:45,056 --> 00:47:52,396
And because a nation's wealth is measured by her values and not by her vaults.

383
00:47:53,056 --> 00:47:58,736
Bless all of our allies around the world who share our beliefs.

384
00:47:58,736 --> 00:48:05,456
By the rivers of Babylon we wept as we remembered Zion.

385
00:48:06,576 --> 00:48:12,876
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.

386
00:48:14,156 --> 00:48:18,576
The doer of all these shall never falter.

387
00:48:19,856 --> 00:48:25,376
May the days come soon when justice will dwell in the wilderness

388
00:48:25,376 --> 00:48:30,116
and righteousness will abide in the fertile fields

389
00:48:30,116 --> 00:48:34,856
and the work of righteousness will be peace,

390
00:48:35,816 --> 00:48:39,436
quietness and confidence forever.

391
00:48:40,356 --> 00:48:40,736
Amen.

392
00:48:40,736 --> 00:48:57,016
Mr. President, in the Bible, rain is a sign of God's blessing.

393
00:48:58,216 --> 00:49:01,436
And it started to rain, Mr. President, when you came to the platform.

394
00:49:01,436 --> 00:49:13,936
And it's my prayer that God will bless you, your family, your administration, and may he bless America.

395
00:49:15,016 --> 00:49:20,756
The passage of scripture comes from 1 Timothy chapter 2.

396
00:49:20,756 --> 00:49:31,876
I urge then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people,

397
00:49:32,376 --> 00:49:41,496
for kings, for all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

398
00:49:41,496 --> 00:49:51,796
This is good, and it pleases God, our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.

399
00:49:52,556 --> 00:50:04,976
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.

400
00:50:04,976 --> 00:50:07,196
now to the King Eternal,

401
00:50:07,936 --> 00:50:08,996
immortal, invisible,

402
00:50:10,056 --> 00:50:11,176
the only God,

403
00:50:11,936 --> 00:50:13,316
be honor and glory

404
00:50:13,316 --> 00:50:15,036
forever and ever.

405
00:50:15,656 --> 00:50:17,536
In Jesus' name, amen.

406
00:50:26,016 --> 00:50:27,276
We thank you, Father,

407
00:50:28,236 --> 00:50:29,256
for letting us share

408
00:50:29,256 --> 00:50:31,056
this great moment together.

409
00:50:32,056 --> 00:50:33,536
Let us not take for granted

410
00:50:33,536 --> 00:50:39,456
the air we breathe over life you've given us. We were all created by you with one blood,

411
00:50:40,156 --> 00:50:46,036
all nations to dwell upon this land together. We are not enemies, but brothers and sisters.

412
00:50:46,756 --> 00:50:53,636
We're not adversaries, but we're allies. We're not foes, but we're friends. Let us be healed by

413
00:50:53,636 --> 00:50:59,836
the power of your love and united by the bond of your spirit. Today, we pray for our 45th president,

414
00:50:59,836 --> 00:51:04,936
the vice president, and their families, and give them the wisdom to guide this great nation,

415
00:51:05,456 --> 00:51:11,276
the strength to protect it, and their hands to heal it. We bless President Donald J. Trump.

416
00:51:11,896 --> 00:51:16,936
We ask that you give him the wisdom of Solomon, the vision of Joseph, and the meekness of Christ.

417
00:51:17,756 --> 00:51:22,356
Solomon, who kept peace among many nations. Joseph, who dreamt better for the people,

418
00:51:22,776 --> 00:51:29,576
and Christ, who accepted us all. Oh, Lord, mend our hearts and stitch together the fabric of this

419
00:51:29,576 --> 00:51:36,896
great country in the spirit of the legendary gospel songwriter Mahalia Jackson. Oh, deep in my heart,

420
00:51:36,896 --> 00:51:44,976
I do believe the Lord will see us through. I do believe we are on our way to victory. I do believe

421
00:51:44,976 --> 00:51:52,676
we will walk hand in hand. I do believe we shall live in peace. I do believe. Oh, deep in my heart.

422
00:51:52,676 --> 00:51:56,116
I do believe America we shall overcome.

423
00:51:57,036 --> 00:51:58,816
May the Lord bless and keep America,

424
00:51:59,416 --> 00:52:01,116
make his face shine upon us,

425
00:52:01,336 --> 00:52:02,796
and be gracious unto us,

426
00:52:03,096 --> 00:52:04,116
and give us peace.

427
00:52:04,516 --> 00:52:06,536
In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

428
00:52:10,536 --> 00:52:11,756
Ladies and gentlemen,

429
00:52:12,016 --> 00:52:13,816
please welcome Jackie Ivanko,

430
00:52:13,996 --> 00:52:16,836
accompanied by the President's own United States Marine Band.

431
00:52:17,476 --> 00:52:19,816
Please stand for the singing of the National Anthem.

432
00:52:22,676 --> 00:52:52,656
Thank you.

433
00:52:52,676 --> 00:53:03,956
Oh, so can you see by the dawn's early light

434
00:53:03,956 --> 00:53:13,816
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming

435
00:53:13,816 --> 00:53:22,656
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

436
00:53:22,676 --> 00:53:29,356
Oh, the ramparts we watched

437
00:53:29,356 --> 00:53:33,716
Were so gallant and extreme

438
00:53:33,716 --> 00:53:39,596
And the wrongly spread there

439
00:53:39,596 --> 00:53:44,576
The bombs bursting in air

440
00:53:44,576 --> 00:53:49,716
Gave proof through the night

441
00:53:49,716 --> 00:53:54,996
That our blood was to bear

442
00:53:54,996 --> 00:54:00,856
For say does that so strong

443
00:54:00,856 --> 00:54:06,996
Never yet wait

444
00:54:06,996 --> 00:54:14,456
To the end of the day

445
00:54:19,716 --> 00:54:35,496
In the hall of the rain
