Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Monday edition play Travis buck Sexton Show. It
is official. We have Buck, a brand new president of
the United States. Donald Trump has been sworn in. We're
about to have a lot of fun, tons of executive
(00:22):
actions coming. We've got a lot to discuss. We are
monitoring everything in the Capitol right now. The minute that
Trump begins his address. They are playing music right after
the swearing in. It's an historic moment for the country.
It's an exciting moment for the country. Buck, we made it.
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The feeling here in DC, as long as you can
feel your fingers because it is freezing, but it is
incredible for the country. The spirit, the sense of optimism,
it's all over the place. We're gonna obviously bring you
President Trump speaking live as it happens. He was just
worn in clay. We're watching it here inside of the Capitol.
(01:05):
It's actually an amazing setting for the swearing and to happen.
I know it unfortunately didn't allow as many people to
be present physically for it, but people can watch as we.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Are and it's it's.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
A it's a beautiful and inspiring and patriotic setting and ceremony.
You see the President, his family standing at attention up
on stage as the music continues on Clay Already a
momentous day of news which we will be getting into.
We're obviously going to bring everybody live without interruption. President
(01:38):
Trump's words as he is now the president. I mean,
I know we've been calling him president for a while,
but he is now President of the United States once again.
And a few things not to take away from the
amazing and inspiring day that is underway here. Joe Biden,
the former president of the United States, pardoning his family,
(02:03):
many family members on the.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Way out, pardoning members of the January.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Sixth House Committee, pardoning doctor Anthony Fauci, a slew of
preemptive preventative pardons, with the Biden crime family skulking off
stage left while President Trump has taken the stage as
president once again.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Remarkable play. Yeah, it's a huge basically indictment of the
Biden crime family on their way out, and that he
would have the gall to do this. I think many
of you expected it. We said that we expected it.
Nobody else was talking about him pardoning Hunter. We told
you that it was going to happen. Having said that,
we're going to dissect that the celebratory, unbelievably fantastic feeling
(02:52):
on the streets in Washington, DC this whole weekend. We've
been here as we were walking into the studio today,
we're right next door to the Capital One Arena. Security
is super tight. There is a desk on the stage
there where the expectation is Trump is going to be
signing executive orders in front of the twenty thousand people
plus that are already packed into that arena. You also
(03:13):
have reports that Trump is going to end birthright citizenship
by executive order. Now it will go into sort of
the court system almost immediately, and we'll see whether the
president has that authority, whether birthright citizenship is legal. But
he is hitting the ground running with ten different executive
orders on the border. He's basically going to shut it down.
(03:35):
This is a well prepared, well oiled machine buck that
is about to undertake actions the likes of which we
may never have seen. And here is President Trump begetting
his address so.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Much twice, President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts,
Justices of.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
The United States.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden,
Vice President Harris and my fellow citizens. The golden Age
of America begins right now. From this day forward, our
(04:29):
country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
During every single.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put
America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will
(05:04):
be restored, the scales.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of justice will be rebalanced.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department
and our government will end, and our top priority will
be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
(05:37):
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional
than ever before. I returned to the presidency confident and
optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling
new era of national success. A tide of chain is
(06:00):
sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world,
and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like
never before. But first we must be honest about the
challenges we face. While they are plentiful, they will be
annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing.
(06:20):
In the United States of America, as we gather today,
our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years,
a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth
from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay
broken and seemingly incomplete disrepair. We now have a government
(06:42):
that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while
at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of
catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect our magnificent law
abidying American citizens, but provide sanctuary and protection dangerous criminals,
many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Entered our country from all over the world.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
We have a government that has given unlimited funding to
the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American
borders or, more importantly, its own people. Our country can
no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as
recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina been
(07:31):
treated so badly, and other states who are still suffering
from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or
more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still
tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense.
(07:54):
They're raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some
of the wealthiest and most powerful and individuals in our country,
some of whom are sitting here right now. They don't
have a home any longer. That's interesting, but we can't
let this happen. Everyone is unable to do anything about it.
(08:15):
That's going to change. We have a public health system
that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more
money is spent on it than any country.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Anywhere in the world. And we have an.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves,
in many cases, to hate our country despite the love
that we try so desperately to provide to them. All
of this will change starting today, and it will change
very quickly. My recent election has a mandate to completely
(08:57):
and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these
many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the
people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed
their freedom. From this moment on America's decline is over.
(09:30):
Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer
be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years,
I have been tested and challenged more than any president
in our two hundred and fifty year history.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I've learned a lot along the way. The journey
to reclaim.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But
(10:18):
I felt then, and believe even more so now, that
my life was saved for a reason. I was saved
by God to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
That is each day under our administration of American Patriots,
we will be working to meet every crisis with our
and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to
bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of
every race, religion, color, and creed for American citizens. January twentieth,
(11:26):
twenty twenty five, is Liberation Day. It is my hope
that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the
greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.
(11:49):
As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying
behind our agenda, with dramatic increases in support from virtually
every element of our society and old men and women,
African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural, and
very importantly, we had a powerful win in all seven
(12:13):
swing states, and the popular vote we won by millions
of people to the Black and Hispanic communities. I want
to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and
trust that you have shown me.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
With your vote. We set records and I will not
forget it.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I've heard your voices in the campaign and I look
forward to working with you in the years to come.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
This will be a great honor, but in his honor,
we will strive together to make his dream a reality.
We will make his dream come true.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I think.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and
pride is soaring.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Like never before.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by
a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success. We will
not forget our country. We will not forget our constitution,
and we will not forget our God.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Can't do that.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Today, I will sign a series of history or executive orders.
With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of
America and the.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Revolution of common sense. It's all about common sense.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
(14:46):
All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will
begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal
aliens back to the places from which they came. Will
reinstate my remain in Mexico policy. I will end the
(15:11):
practice of catch and release, and I will send troops
to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of
our country. Under the orders I signed today, we will
(15:32):
also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and
(15:55):
by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen, I.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Will direct our government.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
To use the full and immense power of federal and
state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign
gangs and criminal networks bringing devastating crime to US soil,
including our cities and inner cities. As Commander in Chief,
(16:27):
I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country
from threats and invasions. And that is exactly what I
am going to do. We will do it at a
level that nobody's ever seen before. Next, I will direct
all members of my Cabinet to marshall the vast powers
at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and
(16:50):
rapidly bring down costs and prices. Inflation crisis was caused
by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is
why today I will also declare a national energy emergency.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
We will drill, baby, drill.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
America will be a manufacturing nation once again. And we
have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have
the largest amount of oil and gas of any country
on Earth.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And we are going to use it. Let me use it.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up
again right to the top, and export American energy all
over the world. We will be a rich nation again.
And it is that liquid gold under our feet that
(18:15):
will help to do it. With my actions today.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
We will end the Green New Deal, and we will
revoke the electric vehicle mandate.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to
our great American auto workers In other words, you'll be
able to buy the car of your choice. We will
(18:48):
build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody
could have dreamt possible just a.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Few years ago.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And thank you to the auto workers of our nation
for your inspiring vote of confidence. We did tremendously with
their vote. I will immediately begin the overhaul of our
trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of
taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff
(19:20):
and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. For this purpose,
we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties,
(19:41):
and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring
into our treasury coming from foreign sources. The American dream
will soon be back and thriving like never before. To
restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government, my administration
will establish the brand new Department of Government Efficiency. After
(20:17):
years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to
restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order
to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free
speech to America. Never again will the immense power of
(20:52):
the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents, something I
know something about. We will not allow that to happen.
It will not happen again. Under my leadership. We will
restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule
of law, and we are going to bring law and
(21:19):
order back to our cities. This week, I will also
end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race
and gender into every aspect of public and private life.
(21:44):
We will forge a society that is color blind and
merit based. As of today, it will henceforth be the
official policy of the United States government that there are
only two genders, male and female. This week, I will
(22:24):
reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our
military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full
back pain, and I will sign in order to stop
(22:48):
our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and
social experiments while on duty.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It's going to end immediately.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their
soul mission defeating America's enemies. Like in twenty seventeen, we
(23:36):
will again build the strongest military of.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
The world has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
We will measure our success not only by the battles
we win, but also by the wars that we end,
and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
(24:11):
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.
That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I'm pleased to say that, as of yesterday, one.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Day before I assumed office, the hostages in the Middle
East are coming back home to their families.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful,
most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration
of the entire world.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
A short time from now, we are going to.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to
the Gulf of America, and we will.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Restore the name.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Of a great President, William McKinley to Mount McKinley, where
it should be and where it belongs. President McKinley made
our country very rich through tariffs and through talent. He
(25:39):
was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money
for many of the great things he did, including the
Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country
of Panama after the United States.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
The United States I mean, think of this.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Spent more money than ever spent on a project and
lost thirty eight thousand lives.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
In the building of the Panama Canal.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift
that should have never been made, and Panama's promised to
us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and
the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American
ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in
(26:28):
any way, shape or form, and that includes the United
States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal,
and we didn't give it to China. We gave it
to Panama, and we're taking it back. Above all, my
(27:01):
message to Americans today is that it is time for
us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the
vitality of history's greatest civilization. So as we liberate our nation,
we will lead it to new heights of victory and success.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
We will not be deterred.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep
our children safe, healthy, and disease free. The United States
will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that
increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises
our expectations, and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
And we will.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts
to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
(28:14):
Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation, and right
now our nation is.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
More ambitious than any other. There is no nation like
our nation.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneers. The spirit
of the frontier is written into our hearts.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
The call of the.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Next great adventure resounds from within our souls. Our American
ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge
of a vast continent into a mighty republic of the
most extraordinary citizens on Earth.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
No one comes close.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Americans push thousands of miles through a rugged land of
untamed wilderness. They crossed desert, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers,
won the wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny,
lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched
(29:20):
mankind into the heavens, and put the universe of human
knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we
work together, there is nothing we cannot do, and no
dream we cannot achieve. Many people thought it was impossible
for me to stage such a historic political comeback.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But as you see today here I am the American
people have spoken.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I stand before you now as proof that you should
never believe that something is impossible to do in America.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
The impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix,
from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington, DC.
Our country was forged and built by the generations of
patriots who gave everything they had for.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Our rights and for our freedom.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steel
workers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward,
marched forward and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or
their pride. Together they laid down the railroads, raised up
the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two World Wars, defeated
(31:09):
fascism and communism in triumph over every single challenge that
they faced. After all we have been through together, we
stand on the verge of the four greatest years in
American history. With your help, we will restore America, promise,
and we.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Will rebuild the nation that we love, and we love
it so much.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation
under God. So to every parent who dreams for their
child and every child who dreams for their future, I
am with you. I will fight for you, and I
will win for you. Are going to win like never before.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly, but we
are going to bring it back and make it great again,
Greater than ever before. We will be a nation like
no other, full of compassion, courage, and exceptionalism.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Our power will stop.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
All wars and bring a new spirit of unity to
a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable.
America will be respected again and admired again, including by
people of religion, faith, and goodwill.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
We will be prosperous, we.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Will be proud, we will be strong, and we will
win like never before. We will not be conquered, we
will not be intimidated, we will not be broken, and
we will not fail. From this day on, the United
States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.
(33:07):
We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will
dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way. Because
we are Americans. The futures ours and our golden age
has just begun. Thank you, God, bless America. Thank you all,
Thank you, thank you very much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Welcome back in. That is your new president forty seven himself,
delivering what I thought was a scintillating, straightforward, direct, uncompromising
landscape of what he expects to accomplish. It was detailed,
(33:54):
it was optimistic, It was pro America. I think, Bucke,
it may well be the best speech that Donald Trump
has ever given, and for a lot of you out there,
it represented a complete and total refutation of everything Biden
has spent the last four years in his term doing.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Well.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Let's put the speech in the context of the moment,
because then I think it is without question, the greatest
speech so far of Trump's life in politics. And it's
when you add the fact that this is the biggest
political comeback in living memory. I don't know in all
(34:30):
of American history. I don't know how you could better
put it in that this is the biggest comeback we
have ever witnessed in politics against the most ferocious and
dishonest opposition, we have ever seen the greatest weaponization of
government and politics we've ever seen to stop him. Two
(34:52):
assassination attempts, two impeachments, multiple criminal trials, multiple civil trials,
all geared together so that they could stop this moment
from happening. And yet here we are, the biggest comeback
in history. And it feels, also, Clay like, the most
complete and total presidential victory to begin a term I
(35:17):
have ever seen. The Democrats, the anti Trump voices are
so demoralized, you know, Clay and I are here in DC.
We've been walking around the frigid streets and seeing some
of the very scattered protests that the protests look sad.
They don't even really look angry, they just look sad.
(35:37):
The demoralization of the anti Trump left, the demoralization of
the Democrat Party that they threw the kitchen sink at
Trump and he just kept on coming with a grin
on his face, smiling as they threw everything they had
at him. And now giving a speech that lays out
not just the broad strokes but some specifics for what
(36:01):
he's hoping to do. Big moves underfoot right now.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
No doubt, several lines that I shot down, he said, Buck,
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Discussing the assassination attempt, he specifically gave a nod to
the Black and Hispanic communities, saying thanks for your support.
He's going to work to try to make the dream
of Martin Luther King, given that it is Mlkday a
(36:25):
reality in this country. Some things that stood out to me, Buck,
he publicly said, all service members ejected for refusing to
take the COVID shot. He's going to bring back this
week with full back pay. In terms of aspiration of
where to go, said that he wants to send astronauts
to Mars, which is a strong goal obviously, elon Musk
(36:49):
looking on there. And the other thing I said he
Gulf of America, he says, is a real thing. So Buck,
I now own property on evidently not the Gulf of
Mexico anymore.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I'm on the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
You own a piece of the Gulf of America, or
at least a nearby which is a remarkable mount. McKinley
once again changed from the NALI the executive Order on
gender that men or men and women are women. The
moves on the border issue to secure the border, but
(37:26):
also to designate drug cartels a foreign terrorist organization. The
executive order on birthright citizenship that will go right to
the courts.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
We know this.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
A number of these will go right to the courts.
But it is high time that these things were finally
decided upon, that action was taken on them. I think
the President also struck a pretty magnanimous tone about this.
There was nothing petty or vindictive. He just was talking
(37:56):
about this being a new golden era for America, an
era of the restoration of faith in government's ability to
do what it is supposed to do, without corruption, without
partisan weaponization. These are critical things and it is an
amazing feeling. He I'll be honest with you. As Clay
(38:17):
and I are walking around here at inauguration and we're seeing,
you know, we saw some members of the old Trump
administration just on the street bumping into people. The feeling
is unlike anything else. I mean, twenty sixteen, Clay, I
think was it was hard for it to feel real
for a lot of people until it got going. Till
the administration got going, there was still that shock of
(38:39):
I can't believe he beat Hillary. I can't believe that
this is what's going on. I mean, people were very happy,
but this time around, there is a sense of historic purpose,
a sense of destiny that is behind everything that we
are seeing happening. Here could be the most momentous presidency
of our lifetime. If he keeps these promises and stays
on task and fulfills the mission of MAGA, this is
(39:00):
going to be an incredible four years. Not only that,
it's just to your point, comparing to twenty seventeen. He
knows exactly what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
I mean, they've got the Capital one arena set up
so that he can go sign executive orders. He has
found out who the people are that are capable of
implementing the agenda that he wants. I think he has
got an elite cabinet talent surrounding him. His White House
staff as elite. I think there will be far less
disunity and grumbling inside that turns into media stories. And frankly,
(39:32):
whatever you think of Trump, that was a masterclass inaugural address.
He just gave buck. He didn't mention Joe Biden, he
didn't mention Kamala Harris. It's as if their last four
years didn't exist, and he is systematically doing away with
everything that they have destroyed. And I thought it was
a very magnanimous speech. I thought it was a very
(39:54):
forward thinking, optimistic speech. Remember when he gave the speech
in twenty seventeen, it was like America's very dark. It
was a dark address. This was a sunny, optimistic address
that felt almost Reagan like in its you know, the
bright side of the Mountain aspect.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
And there's a almost as though written as a great
TV series or a fantastic movie. There's a character arc
that's very apparent here. I think with Trump where he
goes from twenty sixteen the ultimate political outsider, with the
crazy wind that just shocked the whole establishment, and then
(40:34):
we go through the darkness and the outrage so many
people felt of twenty twenty and then they do everything
once again in twenty twenty four to try to prevent
this moment from happening. The absurd criminal prosecutions, the entirety
of the Democrat legacy, media piling on together, saying that
(40:56):
he's a fascist, which they clearly didn't believe, saying that
he's a hitler like figure, which is insane doing everything
that they possibly could. He takes a bullet in the
ear from a rifle in a field in Pennsylvania, which
he mentioned during the speech. Another gunman hiding in the
brush by the golf course in West Palm just a
matter of weeks later, and after all of this and
(41:19):
all that he has been through, I think it was
the most optimistic, the most forward leaning, and the most
inspiring speech that President Trump has given. Absence from it
were feelings of vindictiveness, of anger. Of this is about justice.
This is about doing what's best for the American people
(41:40):
going forward and opening a new era for our economy,
for our security, both national security and border security, which
of course are very much tied in together. Of sanity,
a restoration of common sense is I think one of
the themes that undermine underlies rather all of this, more than
(42:03):
almost anything else. So we'll get into more of this. Also,
want to take some calls from you, because we are
live here in our nation's capital right now. Just heard
President Trump's speech. As President Trump's speech, we'll get into
some of the key executive orders and some of the
big policies. We'll unpack that for you. Over the next
next hours of the show, but also the final moments
(42:24):
of the ignominious Biden administration. Jaw dropping, little Fouch got
his party. We're gonna talk about all of this. So
it's a big news day. Not just the inauguration underway here,
but a lot to unpack with you. And since we're
in our nation's capital, I want to talk to you.
Rapid Radios, my friends. You know, we just met the
(42:44):
founders of this couple of days ago. They were great,
and they're an incredible American business success story, great entrepreneurs.
They're radio guys, ham radio guys in fact, and they
understand that when you need communication, you need to know
that you have it, that it's easy, that it's ready
to go. That's where Rapid Radios come in. It's companies
(43:05):

or something and we want to be able to have
a secondary com system. Clay and I have rapid radios
here in our radio studio. It's great to have for emergencies.

the hurricane. They're fantastic to have on hand for convenience

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Inauguration Day, welcome back here to Clay and Buck. We
are live with you in Washington, DC. We all just
watch together President Trump's incredible speech. Honestly ten out of ten,
perfect length to I'm a little bit of a stickler
on speech length. I think a lot of time speeches
in general go too far. I thought he absolutely nailed it.
Fantastic speech, the right tone, the right length, everything about
(44:42):
it met the moment. Incredible stuff going on, But a
lot happening already. You know, it's not just an inauguration
party day. A lot of executive orders that are about
to be signed. They're gonna be signed publicly, but we've
already been told what some of them are. Some last
minute shenanigans from the Biden administration, just skulking off the stage,
exactly in keeping with the failed and dishonorable record of
(45:07):
the presence. I'm sorry, I note today's a happy day
for everybody, but I'm not letting this Biden stuff slide,
especially the Fauci pardon, the pardon of Biden family members. Clay,
we should dive into some of this stuff, because it's
just amazing that basically we were right about everything all
along the whole time. You me, everyone listening, they all know,
we all knew exactly who these bidens were. But Carrie Underwood,
(45:31):
you were the one to point this out to me,
an amazing moment for her. We'll play some of it
and we come back.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
The audio failed evidently inside of the Capitol, and there's
a obviously many different technical details associated with doing it
there as opposed to out on the rota outside of
the Capitol. But she a cappella led the entire rotunda
in singing America the Beautiful, and we'll have some of
(45:56):
that audio for you, But it is going to go
immediately iconic from a performer perspective. Instead of having the
full band behind her, she just took the mic and
killed it. Everybody joined in with her. It's already I
think an incredible endorsement and iconic moment of this inauguration
that so many of us are celebrating. Will have some
(46:17):
of that for you on a positive side when we
come back, as well as the ravages of the Biden
presidency ending in a glow of shame.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
See want I like to give us that juxtaposition. Clay
will dive into this year in a couple of minutes
with all of you, because the greatness of Trump and
what is coming as opposed to the sadness and corruption
and failures of Biden. Makes this moment feel all the
more glorious.
Welcome in Monday edition play Travis buck Sexton Show. It
is official. We have Buck, a brand new president of
the United States. Donald Trump has been sworn in. We're
about to have a lot of fun, tons of executive
(00:22):
actions coming. We've got a lot to discuss. We are
monitoring everything in the Capitol right now. The minute that
Trump begins his address. They are playing music right after
the swearing in. It's an historic moment for the country.
It's an exciting moment for the country. Buck, we made it.
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The feeling here in DC, as long as you can
feel your fingers because it is freezing, but it is
incredible for the country. The spirit, the sense of optimism,
it's all over the place. We're gonna obviously bring you
President Trump speaking live as it happens. He was just
worn in clay. We're watching it here inside of the Capitol.
(01:05):
It's actually an amazing setting for the swearing and to happen.
I know it unfortunately didn't allow as many people to
be present physically for it, but people can watch as we.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Are and it's it's.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
A it's a beautiful and inspiring and patriotic setting and ceremony.
You see the President, his family standing at attention up
on stage as the music continues on Clay Already a
momentous day of news which we will be getting into.
We're obviously going to bring everybody live without interruption. President
(01:38):
Trump's words as he is now the president. I mean,
I know we've been calling him president for a while,
but he is now President of the United States once again.
And a few things not to take away from the
amazing and inspiring day that is underway here. Joe Biden,
the former president of the United States, pardoning his family,
(02:03):
many family members on the.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Way out, pardoning members of the January.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Sixth House Committee, pardoning doctor Anthony Fauci, a slew of
preemptive preventative pardons, with the Biden crime family skulking off
stage left while President Trump has taken the stage as
president once again.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Remarkable play. Yeah, it's a huge basically indictment of the
Biden crime family on their way out, and that he
would have the gall to do this. I think many
of you expected it. We said that we expected it.
Nobody else was talking about him pardoning Hunter. We told
you that it was going to happen. Having said that,
we're going to dissect that the celebratory, unbelievably fantastic feeling
(02:52):
on the streets in Washington, DC this whole weekend. We've
been here as we were walking into the studio today,
we're right next door to the Capital One Arena. Security
is super tight. There is a desk on the stage
there where the expectation is Trump is going to be
signing executive orders in front of the twenty thousand people
plus that are already packed into that arena. You also
(03:13):
have reports that Trump is going to end birthright citizenship
by executive order. Now it will go into sort of
the court system almost immediately, and we'll see whether the
president has that authority, whether birthright citizenship is legal. But
he is hitting the ground running with ten different executive
orders on the border. He's basically going to shut it down.
(03:35):
This is a well prepared, well oiled machine buck that
is about to undertake actions the likes of which we
may never have seen. And here is President Trump begetting
his address so.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Much twice, President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts,
Justices of.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
The United States.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden,
Vice President Harris and my fellow citizens. The golden Age
of America begins right now. From this day forward, our
(04:29):
country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
During every single.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put
America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will
(05:04):
be restored, the scales.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of justice will be rebalanced.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department
and our government will end, and our top priority will
be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
(05:37):
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional
than ever before. I returned to the presidency confident and
optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling
new era of national success. A tide of chain is
(06:00):
sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world,
and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like
never before. But first we must be honest about the
challenges we face. While they are plentiful, they will be
annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing.
(06:20):
In the United States of America, as we gather today,
our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years,
a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth
from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay
broken and seemingly incomplete disrepair. We now have a government
(06:42):
that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while
at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of
catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect our magnificent law
abidying American citizens, but provide sanctuary and protection dangerous criminals,
many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Entered our country from all over the world.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
We have a government that has given unlimited funding to
the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American
borders or, more importantly, its own people. Our country can
no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as
recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina been
(07:31):
treated so badly, and other states who are still suffering
from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or
more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still
tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense.
(07:54):
They're raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some
of the wealthiest and most powerful and individuals in our country,
some of whom are sitting here right now. They don't
have a home any longer. That's interesting, but we can't
let this happen. Everyone is unable to do anything about it.
(08:15):
That's going to change. We have a public health system
that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more
money is spent on it than any country.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Anywhere in the world. And we have an.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves,
in many cases, to hate our country despite the love
that we try so desperately to provide to them. All
of this will change starting today, and it will change
very quickly. My recent election has a mandate to completely
(08:57):
and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these
many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the
people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed
their freedom. From this moment on America's decline is over.
(09:30):
Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer
be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years,
I have been tested and challenged more than any president
in our two hundred and fifty year history.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I've learned a lot along the way. The journey
to reclaim.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But
(10:18):
I felt then, and believe even more so now, that
my life was saved for a reason. I was saved
by God to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
That is each day under our administration of American Patriots,
we will be working to meet every crisis with our
and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to
bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of
every race, religion, color, and creed for American citizens. January twentieth,
(11:26):
twenty twenty five, is Liberation Day. It is my hope
that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the
greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.
(11:49):
As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying
behind our agenda, with dramatic increases in support from virtually
every element of our society and old men and women,
African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural, and
very importantly, we had a powerful win in all seven
(12:13):
swing states, and the popular vote we won by millions
of people to the Black and Hispanic communities. I want
to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and
trust that you have shown me.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
With your vote. We set records and I will not
forget it.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I've heard your voices in the campaign and I look
forward to working with you in the years to come.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
This will be a great honor, but in his honor,
we will strive together to make his dream a reality.
We will make his dream come true.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I think.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and
pride is soaring.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Like never before.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by
a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success. We will
not forget our country. We will not forget our constitution,
and we will not forget our God.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Can't do that.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Today, I will sign a series of history or executive orders.
With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of
America and the.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Revolution of common sense. It's all about common sense.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
(14:46):
All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will
begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal
aliens back to the places from which they came. Will
reinstate my remain in Mexico policy. I will end the
(15:11):
practice of catch and release, and I will send troops
to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of
our country. Under the orders I signed today, we will
(15:32):
also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and
(15:55):
by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen, I.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Will direct our government.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
To use the full and immense power of federal and
state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign
gangs and criminal networks bringing devastating crime to US soil,
including our cities and inner cities. As Commander in Chief,
(16:27):
I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country
from threats and invasions. And that is exactly what I
am going to do. We will do it at a
level that nobody's ever seen before. Next, I will direct
all members of my Cabinet to marshall the vast powers
at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and
(16:50):
rapidly bring down costs and prices. Inflation crisis was caused
by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is
why today I will also declare a national energy emergency.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
We will drill, baby, drill.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
America will be a manufacturing nation once again. And we
have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have
the largest amount of oil and gas of any country
on Earth.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And we are going to use it. Let me use it.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up
again right to the top, and export American energy all
over the world. We will be a rich nation again.
And it is that liquid gold under our feet that
(18:15):
will help to do it. With my actions today.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
We will end the Green New Deal, and we will
revoke the electric vehicle mandate.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to
our great American auto workers In other words, you'll be
able to buy the car of your choice. We will
(18:48):
build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody
could have dreamt possible just a.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Few years ago.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And thank you to the auto workers of our nation
for your inspiring vote of confidence. We did tremendously with
their vote. I will immediately begin the overhaul of our
trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of
taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff
(19:20):
and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. For this purpose,
we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties,
(19:41):
and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring
into our treasury coming from foreign sources. The American dream
will soon be back and thriving like never before. To
restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government, my administration
will establish the brand new Department of Government Efficiency. After
(20:17):
years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to
restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order
to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free
speech to America. Never again will the immense power of
(20:52):
the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents, something I
know something about. We will not allow that to happen.
It will not happen again. Under my leadership. We will
restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule
of law, and we are going to bring law and
(21:19):
order back to our cities. This week, I will also
end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race
and gender into every aspect of public and private life.
(21:44):
We will forge a society that is color blind and
merit based. As of today, it will henceforth be the
official policy of the United States government that there are
only two genders, male and female. This week, I will
(22:24):
reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our
military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full
back pain, and I will sign in order to stop
(22:48):
our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and
social experiments while on duty.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It's going to end immediately.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their
soul mission defeating America's enemies. Like in twenty seventeen, we
(23:36):
will again build the strongest military of.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
The world has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
We will measure our success not only by the battles
we win, but also by the wars that we end,
and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
(24:11):
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.
That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I'm pleased to say that, as of yesterday, one.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Day before I assumed office, the hostages in the Middle
East are coming back home to their families.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful,
most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration
of the entire world.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
A short time from now, we are going to.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to
the Gulf of America, and we will.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Restore the name.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Of a great President, William McKinley to Mount McKinley, where
it should be and where it belongs. President McKinley made
our country very rich through tariffs and through talent. He
(25:39):
was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money
for many of the great things he did, including the
Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country
of Panama after the United States.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
The United States I mean, think of this.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Spent more money than ever spent on a project and
lost thirty eight thousand lives.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
In the building of the Panama Canal.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift
that should have never been made, and Panama's promised to
us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and
the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American
ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in
(26:28):
any way, shape or form, and that includes the United
States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal,
and we didn't give it to China. We gave it
to Panama, and we're taking it back. Above all, my
(27:01):
message to Americans today is that it is time for
us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the
vitality of history's greatest civilization. So as we liberate our nation,
we will lead it to new heights of victory and success.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
We will not be deterred.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep
our children safe, healthy, and disease free. The United States
will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that
increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises
our expectations, and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
And we will.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts
to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
(28:14):
Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation, and right
now our nation is.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
More ambitious than any other. There is no nation like
our nation.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneers. The spirit
of the frontier is written into our hearts.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
The call of the.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Next great adventure resounds from within our souls. Our American
ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge
of a vast continent into a mighty republic of the
most extraordinary citizens on Earth.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
No one comes close.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Americans push thousands of miles through a rugged land of
untamed wilderness. They crossed desert, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers,
won the wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny,
lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched
(29:20):
mankind into the heavens, and put the universe of human
knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we
work together, there is nothing we cannot do, and no
dream we cannot achieve. Many people thought it was impossible
for me to stage such a historic political comeback.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But as you see today here I am the American
people have spoken.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I stand before you now as proof that you should
never believe that something is impossible to do in America.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
The impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix,
from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington, DC.
Our country was forged and built by the generations of
patriots who gave everything they had for.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Our rights and for our freedom.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steel
workers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward,
marched forward and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or
their pride. Together they laid down the railroads, raised up
the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two World Wars, defeated
(31:09):
fascism and communism in triumph over every single challenge that
they faced. After all we have been through together, we
stand on the verge of the four greatest years in
American history. With your help, we will restore America, promise,
and we.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Will rebuild the nation that we love, and we love
it so much.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation
under God. So to every parent who dreams for their
child and every child who dreams for their future, I
am with you. I will fight for you, and I
will win for you. Are going to win like never before.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly, but we
are going to bring it back and make it great again,
Greater than ever before. We will be a nation like
no other, full of compassion, courage, and exceptionalism.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Our power will stop.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
All wars and bring a new spirit of unity to
a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable.
America will be respected again and admired again, including by
people of religion, faith, and goodwill.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
We will be prosperous, we.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Will be proud, we will be strong, and we will
win like never before. We will not be conquered, we
will not be intimidated, we will not be broken, and
we will not fail. From this day on, the United
States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.
(33:07):
We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will
dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way. Because
we are Americans. The futures ours and our golden age
has just begun. Thank you, God, bless America. Thank you all,
Thank you, thank you very much, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Welcome back in. That is your new president forty seven himself,
delivering what I thought was a scintillating, straightforward, direct, uncompromising
landscape of what he expects to accomplish. It was detailed,
(33:54):
it was optimistic, It was pro America. I think, Bucke,
it may well be the best speech that Donald Trump
has ever given, and for a lot of you out there,
it represented a complete and total refutation of everything Biden
has spent the last four years in his term doing.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Well.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Let's put the speech in the context of the moment,
because then I think it is without question, the greatest
speech so far of Trump's life in politics. And it's
when you add the fact that this is the biggest
political comeback in living memory. I don't know in all
(34:30):
of American history. I don't know how you could better
put it in that this is the biggest comeback we
have ever witnessed in politics against the most ferocious and
dishonest opposition, we have ever seen the greatest weaponization of
government and politics we've ever seen to stop him. Two
(34:52):
assassination attempts, two impeachments, multiple criminal trials, multiple civil trials,
all geared together so that they could stop this moment
from happening. And yet here we are, the biggest comeback
in history. And it feels, also, Clay like, the most
complete and total presidential victory to begin a term I
(35:17):
have ever seen. The Democrats, the anti Trump voices are
so demoralized, you know, Clay and I are here in DC.
We've been walking around the frigid streets and seeing some
of the very scattered protests that the protests look sad.
They don't even really look angry, they just look sad.
(35:37):
The demoralization of the anti Trump left, the demoralization of
the Democrat Party that they threw the kitchen sink at
Trump and he just kept on coming with a grin
on his face, smiling as they threw everything they had
at him. And now giving a speech that lays out
not just the broad strokes but some specifics for what
(36:01):
he's hoping to do. Big moves underfoot right now.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
No doubt, several lines that I shot down, he said, Buck,
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Discussing the assassination attempt, he specifically gave a nod to
the Black and Hispanic communities, saying thanks for your support.
He's going to work to try to make the dream
of Martin Luther King, given that it is Mlkday a
(36:25):
reality in this country. Some things that stood out to me, Buck,
he publicly said, all service members ejected for refusing to
take the COVID shot. He's going to bring back this
week with full back pay. In terms of aspiration of
where to go, said that he wants to send astronauts
to Mars, which is a strong goal obviously, elon Musk
(36:49):
looking on there. And the other thing I said he
Gulf of America, he says, is a real thing. So Buck,
I now own property on evidently not the Gulf of
Mexico anymore.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I'm on the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
You own a piece of the Gulf of America, or
at least a nearby which is a remarkable mount. McKinley
once again changed from the NALI the executive Order on
gender that men or men and women are women. The
moves on the border issue to secure the border, but
(37:26):
also to designate drug cartels a foreign terrorist organization. The
executive order on birthright citizenship that will go right to
the courts.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
We know this.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
A number of these will go right to the courts.
But it is high time that these things were finally
decided upon, that action was taken on them. I think
the President also struck a pretty magnanimous tone about this.
There was nothing petty or vindictive. He just was talking
(37:56):
about this being a new golden era for America, an
era of the restoration of faith in government's ability to
do what it is supposed to do, without corruption, without
partisan weaponization. These are critical things and it is an
amazing feeling. He I'll be honest with you. As Clay
(38:17):
and I are walking around here at inauguration and we're seeing,
you know, we saw some members of the old Trump
administration just on the street bumping into people. The feeling
is unlike anything else. I mean, twenty sixteen, Clay, I
think was it was hard for it to feel real
for a lot of people until it got going. Till
the administration got going, there was still that shock of
(38:39):
I can't believe he beat Hillary. I can't believe that
this is what's going on. I mean, people were very happy,
but this time around, there is a sense of historic purpose,
a sense of destiny that is behind everything that we
are seeing happening. Here could be the most momentous presidency
of our lifetime. If he keeps these promises and stays
on task and fulfills the mission of MAGA, this is
(39:00):
going to be an incredible four years. Not only that,
it's just to your point, comparing to twenty seventeen. He
knows exactly what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
I mean, they've got the Capital one arena set up
so that he can go sign executive orders. He has
found out who the people are that are capable of
implementing the agenda that he wants. I think he has
got an elite cabinet talent surrounding him. His White House
staff as elite. I think there will be far less
disunity and grumbling inside that turns into media stories. And frankly,
(39:32):
whatever you think of Trump, that was a masterclass inaugural address.
He just gave buck. He didn't mention Joe Biden, he
didn't mention Kamala Harris. It's as if their last four
years didn't exist, and he is systematically doing away with
everything that they have destroyed. And I thought it was
a very magnanimous speech. I thought it was a very
(39:54):
forward thinking, optimistic speech. Remember when he gave the speech
in twenty seventeen, it was like America's very dark. It
was a dark address. This was a sunny, optimistic address
that felt almost Reagan like in its you know, the
bright side of the Mountain aspect.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
And there's a almost as though written as a great
TV series or a fantastic movie. There's a character arc
that's very apparent here. I think with Trump where he
goes from twenty sixteen the ultimate political outsider, with the
crazy wind that just shocked the whole establishment, and then
(40:34):
we go through the darkness and the outrage so many
people felt of twenty twenty and then they do everything
once again in twenty twenty four to try to prevent
this moment from happening. The absurd criminal prosecutions, the entirety
of the Democrat legacy, media piling on together, saying that
(40:56):
he's a fascist, which they clearly didn't believe, saying that
he's a hitler like figure, which is insane doing everything
that they possibly could. He takes a bullet in the
ear from a rifle in a field in Pennsylvania, which
he mentioned during the speech. Another gunman hiding in the
brush by the golf course in West Palm just a
matter of weeks later, and after all of this and
(41:19):
all that he has been through, I think it was
the most optimistic, the most forward leaning, and the most
inspiring speech that President Trump has given. Absence from it
were feelings of vindictiveness, of anger. Of this is about justice.
This is about doing what's best for the American people
(41:40):
going forward and opening a new era for our economy,
for our security, both national security and border security, which
of course are very much tied in together. Of sanity,
a restoration of common sense is I think one of
the themes that undermine underlies rather all of this, more than
(42:03):
almost anything else. So we'll get into more of this. Also,
want to take some calls from you, because we are
live here in our nation's capital right now. Just heard
President Trump's speech. As President Trump's speech, we'll get into
some of the key executive orders and some of the
big policies. We'll unpack that for you. Over the next
next hours of the show, but also the final moments
(42:24):
of the ignominious Biden administration. Jaw dropping, little Fouch got
his party. We're gonna talk about all of this. So
it's a big news day. Not just the inauguration underway here,
but a lot to unpack with you. And since we're
in our nation's capital, I want to talk to you.
Rapid Radios, my friends. You know, we just met the
(42:44):
founders of this couple of days ago. They were great,
and they're an incredible American business success story, great entrepreneurs.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Inauguration Day, welcome back here to Clay and Buck. We
are live with you in Washington, DC. We all just
watch together President Trump's incredible speech. Honestly ten out of ten,
perfect length to I'm a little bit of a stickler
on speech length. I think a lot of time speeches
in general go too far. I thought he absolutely nailed it.
Fantastic speech, the right tone, the right length, everything about
(44:42):
it met the moment. Incredible stuff going on, But a
lot happening already. You know, it's not just an inauguration
party day. A lot of executive orders that are about
to be signed. They're gonna be signed publicly, but we've
already been told what some of them are. Some last
minute shenanigans from the Biden administration, just skulking off the stage,
exactly in keeping with the failed and dishonorable record of
(45:07):
the presence. I'm sorry, I note today's a happy day
for everybody, but I'm not letting this Biden stuff slide,
especially the Fauci pardon, the pardon of Biden family members. Clay,
we should dive into some of this stuff, because it's
just amazing that basically we were right about everything all
along the whole time. You me, everyone listening, they all know,
we all knew exactly who these bidens were. But Carrie Underwood,
(45:31):
you were the one to point this out to me,
an amazing moment for her. We'll play some of it
and we come back.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
The audio failed evidently inside of the Capitol, and there's
a obviously many different technical details associated with doing it
there as opposed to out on the rota outside of
the Capitol. But she a cappella led the entire rotunda
in singing America the Beautiful, and we'll have some of
(45:56):
that audio for you, But it is going to go
immediately iconic from a performer perspective. Instead of having the
full band behind her, she just took the mic and
killed it. Everybody joined in with her. It's already I
think an incredible endorsement and iconic moment of this inauguration
that so many of us are celebrating. Will have some
(46:17):
of that for you on a positive side when we
come back, as well as the ravages of the Biden
presidency ending in a glow of shame.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
See want I like to give us that juxtaposition. Clay
will dive into this year in a couple of minutes
with all of you, because the greatness of Trump and
what is coming as opposed to the sadness and corruption
and failures of Biden. Makes this moment feel all the
more glorious.
