Trump 'delivers stump speech' for inauguration

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We examine President Trump's speech in detail with historians Doris Kearns Goodwin and Michael Barone. We also hear from the US Secret Service on how they prepared for and dealt with violent protestors. And we discussed the prospects for unity after one of the most acrimonious election seasons in decades. Joining us were Cynthia Enloe, feminist writer and professor at Clark University, Professor Eddie Glaude, chair of African American Studies at Princeton, and Dr Jan Halper-Hayes, who's on Trump's transition team.
