Topic: Pennsylvania Avenue

Extreme cold and 23-degree temperatures have forced the relocation of the presidential inauguration ceremony from the outdoor platform to the Capitol Rotunda. This marks the first indoor inauguration since Ronald Reagan in 1985, significantly limiting the number of in-person guests to several hundred members of Congress and VIPs. The traditional inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue has been canceled in favor of a celebration at the Capital One Arena.

Donald Trump delivered a speech riling up supporters before they marched toward the Capitol to encourage Republican lawmakers to show strength. The hosts argue Trump "blew it" by overproducing the moment and failing to join the march as promised. An emergency management coordinator from Lehigh County claims to have overheard individuals dressed as Trump supporters plotting to make the movement look bad by breaking windows.

Jim Acosta suggested that journalists should create bumper stickers and buttons to protest being called the enemy of the people. He even proposed that journalists should march on Pennsylvania Avenue and chant "we're not the enemy of the people" to counter the "CNN sucks" chants heard at Trump rallies.

During her Value Voters Summit speech, Sarah Palin incorrectly identified the address of the White House as 1400 Pennsylvania Avenue instead of 1600. She also spoke about "reloading with truth" and criticized the use of the "race card" against conservatives like Ted Cruz and Ben Carson. While her "screechy" voice is noted as a point of public irritation, the hosts reject labeling her as "dumb," suggesting other factors for her recent performance.
