Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael dil Chono.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's bring in Chris Walker, who is a Republican consultant
and analyst, and he's also a Your Morning Show regular contributor.
It's inauguration day, a historic victory for Donald Trump? Or
is it a victory for the Republican Party? And we
went through a lot of research. There's a lot of enthusiasm,
there's a lot of optimism heading into this second term
(00:25):
of Donald Trump. And David Sanadi and I were talking
about it seems like a different Trump forged in all
of the persecution, forged in assassination attempts, and if that
rally yesterday's any indication, it's a lot less about him
and more about us. But I got to ask you
the question, should Republicans be perceiving this as a party
victory or is this Trump's victory?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And is the difference important?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Hey, Michael, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I mean it is a It's a Trump victory, pure
and simple. One know, I'm here in Washington, and you
know I.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Was talking to Sprints about not some of this, like
there's a.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Complete nobody's not wearing a Trump hat or a Trump
pen or a Trump, you know, key shirt or anything
that just indicates their love of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It is a.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Celebration of him.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
It's a celebration of someone that people would crawl over
broken glass to vote for if they could.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think it's the lawfair thing.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I think it was obviously you know, the Pass relationship.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Talking about It's like, people love this man in a
way that you have a in politics.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It is a cultural.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
And political phenomenon of one.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
And so you know, while he is a.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Republican and has done great things for the Republican Party,
in terms of like support for him, it.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Is he is the eight hundred pound guerrilla with which.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
All things kind of gravitate. So does that mean that
he has unlimited authority, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
All on a TikTok ban and other things like that.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
No, But from a political standpoint, any Republican who kind
of get you know, to crosses the low line a
lah Liz Cheney and and and opposes will have a
Liz Cheney fate to a certain degree.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Because this is this is absolutely a celebration of him.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
All right, let's do the reverse of it.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Was this a Joe Biden slash Kamala Harris loss or
a Democrat Party issue.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Loss.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
That's a great question.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
I would I kind of want to say both. Maybe
I'm cheating there by saying that, but like, let's.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Don't forget what the Democrat platform is right now.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
It's it's boys swimming and you know, competing against.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Girls in fours.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
It's about runaway inflation, and it's about incompetence that we're
seeing in California relative to the inability of them to
even you know, keep water and reservoirs. I mean, that's
a Democrat issue. But Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, you.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Know, Joe Biden, as we're seeing with the Fauci pardon
and Milly Parton.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
And the January sixth you know committee Partons today, it's
just it's just this corrupt, gross institution of liberals that
just you know, could not be gone fast enough. And
so while I think the liberal completely overtaking of the
of the Democrat Party in terms of just lack of
(03:26):
any type of of of community connection, Biden Harris also
have a lot to do with it, just.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
In terms of just their their utter corruption.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
You know, while they've been in office, and their failure.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
As leaders Republican consult Chris Walker in our nation's capital
for the inauguration today. I guess what I'm spelling out
is Donald Trump is much more of an American president
than a partisan political president, and that may be for
good reason. I think both parties are in trouble. The
Democrat Party is in real life and death trouble. Look
at these numbers in this poll, Which of the following
(04:01):
words or phrases describes the way you feel about politics
in America? Disappointed Democrats seventy five percent, Frustrated Democrats seventy percent,
burnt out fifty five percent, angry forty six percent, optimistic
only ten percent, fired up only thirteen percent, inspired, and
proud only five percent. Now, the numbers are a little
(04:24):
better for Republicans, but they follow that same level. I
think the American people are done being pitted against each
other and fighting over lesser minor issues, and they're more
about being Americans and uniting and solving real problems at
facing American people. That's an opportunity Donald Trump conceies, and
(04:45):
that can make it a not a four.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Year but a twelve year equation potentially.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I think that's right.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
But again, you know, now, putting on my conservative constitutional hat.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You know, there's a are there to kind of point to.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
An individual and try to seed unlimited political power.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
There are separation of powers.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
For a reason.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
There are you know, checks and balances for a reason,
and so you know, because that that lead yields for
the most public goods. So you know, I'm very open
and excited about all of the things that Trump is doing.
I can't wait for Tom Homan to start to boarding people.
I can't wait for you know, Trump to you know,
enact some of you know, some of them for day
(05:30):
one and day what firs one hundred day policies. I mean,
it's it's a it's a truly exciting time to turn
the page from this disaster.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Of a Biden administration.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But I you know, there there is.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
A piece of Congress that's still is very important to play.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
There's still piece of the courts that's still important to play.
So I don't want to focus on that too much,
but I do think it's it's.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's a great way to Because.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I wasn't suggesting that executive power should become you know,
cart blonde. What I'm suggesting is games like that they
were playing in the Senate partisan games with confirmations.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That felt very flat.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Uh that the law, the loss of trust UH has
has played a huge effect. All right, Finally on the
way out the door, Uh, I presume he knows he
did it, But Joe Biden goes ahead and pardons preemptively
uh Fauci, General Miley, as well as January sixth Committee
(06:25):
members Schiff, Liz Cheney and others.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
What do you make of that?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I just it's it's political now practice it.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It yields a public distrust of of epic proportions. These
are people that you know deserve to be in jail,
not in uh not in uh not you know.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Protected by President.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You know Fauci in particular.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It's it's clear to me that you just have to ask.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yourself, why why did but Biden feel.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
The need to do that. This may be the greatest
midnight pardon. This may be the.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Greatest American scandal in history and the greatest scandalous American
pardon in history. And I just wonder if everybody gets
that on this Martin Luther King inauguration day, and I
doubt it. You have no idea what was perpetrated against
the American people through Fauci and he just got a
preemptive part before he was ever child. Breathtaking that comes
(07:25):
into that is bread taking. It's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
On top of the scandal of them hiding his dementia
for three years.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So I mean, this is a this is an administration.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
That has history, takes its time and looks at it
even more judiciously. We'll see the Bidens for who they are.
We'll see the Democrat you know, leadership for who they are,
and it is it is a corrupt, you know, detestable.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Execute the power that that we haven't seen in a
long time. And and you know we cannot get to
noon fast enough.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, no, kidd as President like just left Blairhouse, though
you won't be able to see him heading to Saint
John's Church and then later to the White House where
he'll be greeted by President Biden. Final question, there haven't
been any leaks. I don't know if you've heard any leaks.
Do we have any idea what this inaugural address will
be and what the theme will be?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Well, we were talking to Frinds about that up here
in DC this week. I mean, obviously I think Trump
his plan was probably more.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
To speak to his crowd speak to.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
You know, this is a man who feeds off of
the people who love him, and I think the fact
that I got moved indoors is going to.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You know, change the tone a little bit. I mean,
it's not going to be the people who voted for him.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
It's going to be all of the insiders who, many
of whom work against him. And so, you know, I
think it will be a you know, a more kind
of reflective and more visionary speech than kind of a
rally speech that it was kind of anticipating.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
He would do being outside. So you know, one might
but yesterday, and I think we'll see it again today.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I was gonna say, but one might wonder he had
the rally on purpose for his peeps yesterday. Was it
always planned to talk to his peeps yesterday and the
American people today?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Time will tell.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I hope it addresses trust, because that's the ultimate breach
that has taken place, and that is the ultimate hope
and restoration in this second term. Appreciate it. We'll talk.
I think, you know, we always say as conditions weren't
tomorrow will warrant. I want to get your take on
the inaugural address tomorrow as well. Chris Walker, our Republican
consultant in your morning show correspondent in DC for the inaugurations.
