Just hours before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, anti-Trump protests have broken out in Washington, D.C.

On "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Griff Jenkins reported from the nation's capital, where protesters gathered outside the National Press Club.

Jenkins spoke to a young boy who participated in starting a fire.

"Why'd you start that fire?" Jenkins asked.

"Because I felt like it, and because I'm just saying, 'Screw our president!'" the boy said.

Jenkins also spoke to Lacy MacAuley, a spokeswoman for DisruptJ20, which aims to cause a significant disruption during the inauguration festivities.

"We have to really be concerned about this dangerous direction our country is going in," MacAuley said. "When you come for our communities, when you come for us, and when you try to violate our rights, we will resist."
