Let us all give a warm welcome to Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States! I\u2019m your host, George, and this is Inauguration Watch. Bob and Bertha are on site right now bringing us live news from this historic event. Bob, how are things in our nation\u2019s capital today?<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: Hey there George, it truly is a marvellous day here in DC! We\u2019re broadcasting live from right outside the White House, President Jackson is wearing a classic 1820\u2019s black tux and slicked back silver hair, like everyone else from the 1820\u2019s. He\u2019s just wrapping up his speech as we speak.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: What a strapping president!<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: He sure is! President Jackson is giving final remarks to his supporters &#8211; they are quite a rowdy bunch, aren\u2019t they? <br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: Indeed they are! This is live from the White House reporting that there are at least 10,000 supporters here, one of the largest inauguration crowds we\u2019ve seen yet in our fledgling nation. It now appears that our new president has invited the audience to the White House for an inauguration celebration.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Surely he\u2019s not inviting the entire crowd, is he?<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: President Jackson is now exiting the stage to return back to the White House.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: The crowd is getting progressively louder, pushing against the restraining wire. This looks rather troubling if I do say so myself.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: The Presidential Open House Reception is usually open for a few hundred guests maximum.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: It appears that the crowd is eager to join &#8211; the restaining wire is breaking.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: The crowd, nay, the mob is now forcing its way into the White House! <br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: Ten thousand guests are rushing past us right now!<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: We\u2019re watching President Jackson now &#8211; he looks flabbergasted.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Well this clearly is what could happen when you invite the entire audience of an inauguration to celebrate!<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: Our new President is panicking and now an absolute rager has erupted in the White House.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: President Jackson\u2019s companions have formed a protective barrier around him. He is now being led outside to his horse.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: We are getting reports that Jackson is on his way to the Executive Mansion to get away from this chaos. <br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*2 hours later*<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: It\u2019s been 2 whole hours and this party shows no signs of stopping. Bob, update us on the situation in the white house!<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: Well George, the white house is entirely trashed. I\u2019m here with one especially rabid partier. Ms. Defranco, what are your thoughts on what\u2019s happening today?<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reine: Well, Bob, this is quite a crazy night. The crowd is extremely rowdy &#8211; they\u2019re destroying everything, and I <em>love <\/em>it! More people are entering through the windows, and the alcohol just keeps on coming! I\u2019m so happy I made the long trip from Colorado&#8230;<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Bertha, any updates from the Executive mansion?<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: I\u2019m here standing next to the president, terrified by the chaos that\u2019s happening. Mr president, could you comment on the situation?<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President: This is a total disaster! All my presidential furniture is being obliterated! People are rubbing cheese on my carpets! They\u2019re absolute hooligans! AHHH GET AWAY FROM ME PEASANT.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: The president \u00a0is now being pushed against a wall by the partiers &#8211; it looks like he\u2019s about to be crushed! \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 President Jackson\u2019s companions come to the rescue again, forcing their way to the president and helping him exit the mansion &#8211; presumably through a back door or a window.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: This is a public service announcement from Washington D.C: If you are currently at the the White House party &#8211; LEAVE NOW.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 2: I\u2019ve just spoken to one of the President\u2019s comrades &#8211; Due to high level of insecurity Jackson is currently being relocated to a hotel. There he will be safe until the partying dies down.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: We\u2019re getting reports that the alcohol is being relocated outside by the White House steward Antoine Michel Giusta to hopefully encourage this rabid mob to leave the area.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Is it over yet?<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporter 1: Follow up report: United States Congress has granted President Andrew Jackson $50,000 to repair the White House and the Executive Mansion.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Host: Looks like that\u2019s it for White House parties for a while. Thank you to everyone who has tuned in to our magical time-travelling radio device. Please stay safe when celebrating the inauguration, and drink some water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reine: Interviewees (Reine and President) Gjorgji: Host Hani: Reporter 1 Alena: Reporter 2 White House Party Script Host: Well thank you to everyone who joined us for the March 4th 1829 inauguration.
