Donald Trump's triumphant return to Washington sees his inauguration today as the 47th president of the United States.
The curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride.
We discuss Trump's massive rally ahead of the event and what to expect throughout the historic and historically cold day.
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Monday, January 20th, and this is Morning Wire. Trump is ready to hit the ground running with a slew of executive actions. What's he prioritizing day one?
Very soon, we'll begin the largest deportation operation in American history. Larger, even larger than President Dwight Eisenhower, who has the record right now.
And as Trump returns, Joe Biden retires, declaring a new constitutional amendment and touting the release of hostages on his way out.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

The 45th president of the United States will officially become the 47th president today, completing an incredible political comeback.
The Daily Wire has been on the ground in D.C. for the big event, as well as the celebratory rally Trump held over the weekend. Joining us now with more is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. So a jam-packed series of days for all of you in D.C. culminating with this inauguration today. First, give us a sense of what it's like there.
Yeah, you said the word celebratory, and that certainly is the overarching mood here in Washington, where hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters have descended. In many ways, that victory rally, which we were front and center for, was far more than just a Trump rally, and much more like his return to the stage at the Republican National Convention after he'd just been shot. It was raucous, it was optimistic, it was star-studded, and it was triumphant, as you might expect. Taking the stage, Trump kicked things off with this simple message.
We won! Thank you very much, everybody. What a good feeling. We like winning, don't we?
Now, one thing that really stuck out was how often Trump returned credit for that victory to his supporters. And at times, at this, his final rally before becoming president, he sounded almost sentimental.
For the past nine years, you and I fought side by side against the most sinister and corrupt forces on earth. And in our magnificent victory on November 5th, you showed them once and for all that this nation does not belong to them. This nation belongs to you.
Again, as you can imagine, Trump focused much of his speech on immigration, the issue that arguably played a bigger factor than any other in his victory, and the issue that also drew the loudest applause throughout the evening.
By the time the sun sets tomorrow evening, the invasion of our borders will have come to a halt and all the illegal border trespassers will in some form or another be on their way back home.
And it's certainly worth noting those plans are growing more popular by the day with all Americans. For example, a New York Times poll this week found that 87% of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records, 63% support deporting all illegal immigrants who've come here in the last four years, and 55% support deporting all illegal immigrants, period.
