Subject: In-town pool report 3 - POTUS begins remarks
At 6:28p, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt made remarks. He called the president's speech last night "unifying and inspiring."
At 6:41 Potus and FLOTUS emerged onto the lower balcony of the South Portico as the band played Hail to the Chief. They walked down the center of the South Lawn, which was clear of guests, and took the stage.
Someone from the guest area shouted "four more years!"
At 6:45, Air Force One flew by overhead. Then US Army US Golden Knights Parachute Team performed three maneuvers - a mass formation, then a side-by-side formation, then a "drop flag." National Anthem was played during that last maneuver.
POTUS began remarks at 6:50 pm. Remarks can be seen on TV.
Guests are mostly not wearing masks, though some are.
