Wall around jerusalem to help protect the city. that will be at the center of the sermon. should be about an hour long before they head back over to the white house for that tea with the obamas. but everybody that you would expect to be here is here, and this is kind of a tradition that weve seen pretty much consistently since 1933. president-elect trump continuing that today. >> the reverend indeed very controversial, runs a 12,000-member mega church in dallas. we should point out, he has said ...

>> in less than three hours the powers of the presidency will be transferred to donald j. trump. moments ago the first family in waiting arrived at st. johns episcopal church steps away from the white house, continuing an inauguration morning tradition begun by franklin and eleanor roosevelt in 1933. trump is the first man with no prior experience in politics or the military to hold the office of the presidency, becoming the 45th president in a ceremony on the west front terrace of the capitol t...
