In auguration, nothing personal word of the day. Today is January 20th, 2021. Today is

0:22.8

the day that the 46th president of the United States will be sworn into office exactly at noon.

0:31.9

It's a day that a lot of people have been looking forward to. It's a day that a lot of people

0:35.3

have been dreading. It is a day that has created over the years, over the centuries, a lot

1:45.8

history. And when we're paying attention to something that maybe we didn't pay attention

1:51.3

to previously, it's possible that many of you have never focused on an inauguration.

1:57.2

The way people are focusing on it today, it's possible that transitions of power have happened

2:02.4

in your lifetime. And you just assumed they were peaceful and it was all green eggs and

2:07.9

ham and everything was fine. When an inauguration means is literally the definition of the word,

2:15.5
