Sha because it is what thehe fashion wet person is wearing out here today. Re tod thank you for that, steve. S. Reporter that tradition t you just showed a minute ago ata st. Johns church that is very v old tradition. Diton every president since john adams has worshipped at st. Johns church before proceeding on with the inauguration ceremonies. What we are doing here today ony the west front of the capitol,al that is not as old tradition. Only since Ronald Reagan in january of 1981 have inaugurations been hell on theon west front. Prior to that, they were allerll held on the east front but then somebody got the bright ideadea that maybe we should put this ii place where the sun actually has a chance of shining and thats why Ronald Reagan moved it on io this side and it has been a fantastic location ever since, because the length and breath ot the National Mall is spread outo in front of you and you are able to see clear into virginia even on a cold, rainy day like this one. Lets g at this podium here today. This is the inaugural stand fort the 58th president ialsint inauguration. What they are doing right now i putting the final touches on tos this area. This now, that carpeted blue area,re that is where all thel the dignitaries are going to sit. Tt a lot of the congressionalessiol members are going to be in thoso riser areas right behind. In front of that railing now n those blue chairs that you seese under the plastic right now, now that is where the president elect is going to sits that is where the chief justicei of the United States is going tt sit and that is where the obamaa are going be seated. Again, we are expecting thatng t this is going to get underway ur here when they finally arrive about 10 45 this morning. Orni the speech we are told, the theme, america first. Fir. What does that mean . Well, seaa spicer the incoming white housee press second says thend saythe president elect is going to goit expound on exactly today what makes America Great actuallyll means. A lot of questions a ever since donald trump rolled r out that slogan. Sga we are hoping to have him fill h in some of that today when he delivers his inaugural address a at this very spot later on thiss morning. Ing. For now were live at the u. S. Capitol, 58th president ialsidena inauguration. Well send it back to you. Nd i tom you know youre a maste of history the its interestingt when you mentioned with ronaldhd reagan and moving that in 1981 8 so that you could actually havea some sun on the festivities anda then only four years later wasas the inauguration that was too cold to even do outside. Ono eves reporter that was 1985. Simply that year it just got dangerously cold, and it would d have risked really life or limbm had they gone ahead didnt that. What they dark do you remember the old capitol all the parade d floats, all the bands, they went over to the Capitol Center and ronald and nancy reagan actually drove over there and thanked everybody, but they were not thn able to go ahead with the paradd that year either because it was just too darn cold. Ol were in a lot better shape sha weather wise this year. You got no tdohat right. T rt Tom Fitzgerald thanks ford tr joining us right in the middle of it all. Ight i know you love tiff yann i knok you love history. Yove history. Yes. I mentioned the bible. Ntio we t tore we get to the bible. Okay. The very first inaugurationnt in washington, d. C. Thomas jefferson inngto 1801. Really. You have to go way back. Way back. Not the first. Ave to the okay so the bible has significance today when drum ism that sworn in because it will, yes, be the bible that Abraham Lincoln was sworn in with but also have his personal bible with him, too. Th htoo so in essence two bibles there. E same thing that president barack obama did in 2009 and 2013 witht i think thats interestingntg its fascinating that it will be the same bible that president pe obama used. Obama used. Last two times that president elect donald trumpelec will be using as well thee socusinalled lincoln bible. Bie right. I can tell you on personalel note ol yone of the highlights t i have had personal untillnt washington i had a chance to goo to the library of congress anded actually hold the lincoln bibleb in my hands. My han is that right . I first of all it was much much smaller. Did you need to wear the white gl of course. Ite gl of course. Cour but its amazing. Amang so, yes, it will be the same t s bible as far as the lincolns tho bible president obama used fouro years ago and eight years ago. Yo lets get back outside now tw our annie yu. Ni yu. Annie is at 12th and madison. Adn let us know what you are seeingn good morning. Reporter hey, good morningor to you steve and allison. A good morning, everybody.

G and this is not their firstheirr inauguration. They try to come out here everyy year but get this steve andnd allison, they literally walkedle an hour and a half from d. C.

Prec all right in the meantimethee were keeping a close eye off ef screen at st. Johns we do see s some people that are leaving. Lg we have not yet seen donalddona trump or any members of hisf his family leave the church but we e had expected they would be inede there for any wo hour. Hou were trying to get a betterte idea right now apologies as weea look off screen right now tryin to keep an eye on all the t monitors. There you can see what we were looking at right nowou c. Again, i would say probably 15 to 20 people just walked out tht door but, again, not quite sures why at this point but we have b not seen any members of donaldfd trumps family or mike pencess family leave. Lea. So our understanding theyreding still inside. Still de take a short break right now. Donald trumps first day inn office also means president nsret amaas last. Coming up later well show you u the american public. Icanublic. First though, d. C. Doesntoen get many of them so when we dond well do it right. Rht were talking about parades andd coming up next well check in cn with holly and wisdom for a looo at what to expect with the wh te inaugural parade. Gurapara time right now 9 13. 9 13. Keep the tweets and instagramnsr posts coming just use the fox5potus. Ox5potus back after this. Creamy swirls of pure indulgence. Silky sifts of total transcendence. Tempting accents of sheer pleasure. Introducing unicorn whispers. This should be the name. Or something more like golden gold. Or maybe, mmmmmm mmhmm. But, with 20 of your daily fiber, its actually fiber one. So delicious, it should have another name. So dat ikea, we believe have anotthat everything, from your lamp to your couch, should work as hard as you do. That you can sacrifice everything but a good night sleep. And we believe your furniture should last happily ever after. Make the dream yours with ikea. 9 16 right now taking liveht look on the left sid ne of youry screen there is st.
