Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:21):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Chorn seven
minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show on the air coast to coast and streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app anytime anywhere. This is your
morning show. Welcome to Tuesday, January, the twenty first year
of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Can't have your morning
(00:54):
show without your voice, suffer not. Valerie under thee.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
A great song, one of my faitavorite songs that fits
what's going on in this country right now. It's Ruby
A men fu a m A and Fu starting up
something great song, lots of energy here little bit morning.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, we started up some day and we started up. No,
I like this better listen, this is more up, more
like that. Hey minutes after the hour, I uh, I
left off with David Sanati yesterday and we were saying, well,
(01:37):
I wonder what Pardon's next after Fauci and Millie, I'm
thinking his brother. Well, turns out it was his brother, David.
The secret pardoning and the more of a getaway than
a farewell from the Bidens. Would a fitting end to
a dark and corrupt administration. And then uh, the inaugural
(01:58):
address and then they getting right to work with executive orders.
But I want to start with this with you. This,
to me is the summary of everything yesterday, let alone
everything in the inaugural address. Right here, I.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Stand before you now as proof that you should never
believe that something is impossible to do in America.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The impossible is what we do best in America. Impossible
is what we do best. Because if you think yesterday
was just about Donald Trump's triumph, you missed it. You
missed the whole story. It was America's triumph. Everybody that
risked their job to stand behind them, risk their position
(02:42):
in their neighborhood or with their family members. It really was.
And then I think just the overall feeling of after
four years if really from day one not really believing
Joe Biden was running the country. I mean, the rumors
from day one were Okay, they used him to get elected.
Now he's going to hand it off to Kamala. And
then where is he and is doing anything? And there's
(03:02):
no question who the President of the United States is
and that he is very busy and he's calling the shots.
It's it's a it's definitely a hope of change and
a breathtaking pace of a new administration.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Your take on yesterday, Well, there's so many observations, Michael,
that we can make. We can think the whole morning,
and some of them are nuanced, some of them are
really tiny, some of them you're not really sure that
you saw. And some of them people didn't see, but
they actually happened. Like, for example, the portrait of Franklin
(03:36):
Delano Roosevelt was removed from over the fireplace in the
Oval Office and replaced with the portrait of George Washington.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's a really good move, I think, so.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I think that's a really and that that kind of
says it all.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
David. You spent all your life in government policy and history.
The first is still the best. The first may never
be topped. George Washington, and for Donald Trump in his
current resurrected state and focus, made that one of the
first moves pretty profound. Yeah, I think that was a
(04:14):
good move. I think he thinks it's a republic. I
think he thinks it's a republic, not a democracy.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Well, now, since you brought that up, I think it's
very important to note, and I don't understand why in
a ceremony that is pretty important. The inauguration is a
pretty big deal, and I'm being understated for a reason
that people don't pay closer attention to words.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I don't know why Senator Klobachar was selected.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
To do the job that she was given, and it
was done long before the outcome, right, But that to
me is a formula for failure no matter what you have,
because if her party had won, it would have been awkward.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Her party lost and it was even and she felt
compelled to do a worldview restatement of reality to start
the event off, in which she was very careful in
her opening remarks and then everywhere else. She was given
the platform throughout the balance of the day to make
sure that she said the word democracy as many times
as she could put it into one sentence, because what
(05:20):
she was saying was, by the way, to all the progressives,
we haven't given up on remaking America into a democracy.
But what was interesting is this time the president of
the United States used the word republic over and again.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Let's start with a stunning visual. Seeing Rfk and Telsea Gabbert,
two Democratic presidential candidates, shooting the breeze behind where the
president would take the oath of office. Elon Musk jumping around.
Jeff Bezos is inappropriately dressed, wife Mark Zuckerberg checking out
Jeff Bezos is inappropriate life. The Apple leader, the Google leader,
(05:58):
but seeing that the tech titans, I mean, you know,
I kept saying, over and over again, more than just
Donald Trump won an election, and more than just Kamala
Harris and Joe Biden lost. I mean, think about it.
He not only triumphantly returns to the Oval office, all
of these Cabald table players against him are now behind him.
(06:18):
I mean, that visual for me was stunning.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It's perhaps the most stunning thing that was on the
stage is that reality. In fact, if I didn't know
you could put that much corporate wealth in one place
at one time, I mean, I thought the stage would tip.
I mean, these people have more cash on hand than
the entire federal government.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So how different can this administration be? A Donald Trump's different?
I've got to go back to one clip if I can.
I don't think. I think you know, because inaugural speeches
don't have those memorable lines like ask not they had
one impossible That's what America does best. But I want
to play another clip. I'll restated for you because I
(06:59):
know you can hear the clips, but for everybody else, listen.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
An assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But 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 1 (07:17):
All Right, it's him talking about being saved by God
in order to make America great again. Maybe Donald Trump
one point zero was Donald Trump the savior coming to
save a broken America that he's observed for decades as
a businessman. This time he's a humble man, saved by
grace by God in order to make America great. That's
(07:39):
not a subtle difference. Number one. Number two, the control
of narrative has been destroyed from print to radio to
television and all of their worldview and game changing. You know,
where a democracy not a republic, and democracy is democratic
candidates and the Democrat platform, and if you oppose them,
(08:01):
you oppose democracy. We're going to demonize you and you're
an enemy of the state. That's all gone, it's all
been dismantled. And then those that used to silence any
opposition thought, well, they were all standing behind him taking
the oath of office. I mean he's different, America's different,
and his enemies are different heading into the second term.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah, that's an interesting observation, Michael. Our organization, if the
American Policy round Table began in the state of Ohio,
where the motto is with God, all things are possible,
we had to defend that motto because it was spoken
first by Jesus Christ. We had to defend that model
in federal court the whole way of the sixth District
and one to be able to keep a state motto
like that, it's fascinating and we were privileged to be
(08:42):
a part of that battle. But I take a little
different view on that question of what is possible and
what happens in America. But the total of the event
certainly didn't leave God out of the equation, to be certain.
There were five people who prayed in extraordinarily different ways.
(09:03):
Uh yeah, And I thought that was that was very
interesting in and of itself. I think that the music
that was selected was very unusual to have a solo
piano playing. And what people didn't know A lot of
people did, some didn't, is that that little solo version
that five minutes, that medley, those were all hymns. Yeah,
and they concluded with the hymn Greatest Thy Faithfulness. I
(09:25):
get subtle. That was very subtle, but it was very
real and very interesting. And then I just I've got
to give you know, I'm not a Carrie Underwood fan,
but I got to give her.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
A lot of credit. Just as I said, come on, Carrie,
you don't need that.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Try all of us in the business are saying just
saying it, and she.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did that was couraging so with great melody, with just
vocal perfection, and you could see Donald Trump, you know,
go to her immediately. It really made the moment better.
It was really cool.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Because it was real, and so you had that moment
one of all of this, all these trappings and all
this history and all this significance, and then you had
that totally human moment in the moment, and everybody responded,
and I thought that was greatly refreshing.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
David said, a very encouraging. So there are things now.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I will also tell you that Elon Musk has taken
a lot of let's go back to the techies. Elon
Musk has taken a lot of flat today because New
York Times has published his little Hand to the Heart
and salute to the crowd and called it a Nazi
se Kyle as has the Atlantic, has the Atlantic, so
to be fair and balance the scales, she people should
(10:35):
go to YouTube and replay Clovid Char's remarks. And when
she says the peaceful transition of power, the camera has
her and Biden and at the same time, and when
she says the peaceful transition of power, Biden snickers and
makes the sign of the cross. I don't know if
you caught that, but it happened. He's the only one
who knew. Of course, he had just pulled the pardon button. Yeah,
(10:57):
we're going to get to that. David s and I
the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He presides over
Eye Voters. He's also co host of the American Policy Roundtable.
The Public Square heard on two hundred stations, and we
come back. Let's talk about those pardons and what they
say and perhaps something we alluded to yesterday, the problem
they cause because the investigations can go on and now
they can't play the fifth.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Jonno.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Hey, this is Philip listening from north of Cincinnati, Ohio,
where six degrees and flurries are flying. I just find
its humorous that the elites are beside themselves over the
tech giants attending the inauguration. It wasn't too long ago
that the tech giants were in the pockets of the
liberals and doing their bidding, and now they're upset that
(11:44):
the tech giants are trying to protect their businesses. It
is just the height of hypocrisy.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Have a great day, and you too, as were the pardons,
the height of hypocrisy. Take tap or just ripped Joe
Biden because he entered viewed him in twenty twenty, when
they were creating the fictitious straw man of Donald Trump
doing pardons on his way out, he was talking to
President elect Trump and Vice President elect Kamala Harris, creating
(12:10):
this Trump preemptive pardon that never happened. And then Joe
Biden does it and in the cowardly way he did
while they're on stage, while the president is taking the
oath of office, he sneaks in his last act as
president to partner his entire family and David Sinat he's
joining us with the American Policy Roundtable in the public square,
(12:31):
and our senior contributor, he listed all those irrelevant family members.
This was about pardoning his brother because his brother and
Hunter coordinated the deals with the big guy when he
was vice president. There's no question this was a last minute,
despicable act. They go out as dark as they and
his shady as they ruled, or whoever's ruling.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And the thing is is we call these pardons because
we don't have a word for him. Yeah, they're like
blanket exemptions or maybe get out of jail free cards.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, it's like from that that didn't play well
with the left either.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Yesterday, though, Yeah, from this date backwards, no matter what
you ever did that has to do with the federal
crime forget it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Never mind. Well, Fauci's goes back to twenty fourteen, which
would suggest this has to do with gain of function.
Maybe he created this virus with and in China and
he gets a part of it. But there's a twist
to this, which is you can't bleed the Fifth now.
Now you can still investigate these things, and you can
still you know, put these witnesses on trial, and now
(13:34):
they can't blead the fifth because they don't face any punishment.
They may have to sing like a canary.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Well, the language of the Fifth Amendment is a little tricky,
and we've never seen to get out of jail card
prosecuted before or tested. So that'll be an interesting conversation
if anything would ever come of it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Would you move forward?
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Though?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I mean, wouldn't you reveal this stuff even though you can't.
Maybe you can't send vouch you to jail, but you
can reveal everything he was and.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Did oh listen investigations and get out of jail free
courgage who completely different things. Yeah, very interesting arena, but
again it's the irony of it all is. The rationale
was given. They had to do it because they were
afraid of Donald Trump. Afraid of Donald Trump doing what
while prosecuting us for political purposes? Oh excuse me? And
(14:18):
I was afraid of Donald Trump doing to you? What
did you did to him? So I said, height of hypocrisy.
This is an interesting note. What is your opinion? I
know it's but he got so much done yesterday. It
hit the ground running. It's a legitimate question.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
What is your opinion of the job performance of Donald
Trump as he starts his new term as president of
the United States. The overnight poll fifty six percent approval,
thirty nine percent disapproval. He's got the American people behind him.
Marco Rubio comes through the Club of one hundred. I
know you're probably dying to comment on that. I thought
of you immediately unanimously, because it's the Club of one hundred.
But heg Seth and others are moving forward out of
(14:56):
committee Lincoln Riley Bill passes. I mean, what could have
possibly gone better for Donald Trump yesterday?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, the thing that touched me was watching him signing
the executive orders at the Oval Office while he was
multitasking and answering a completely unrestricted media asking him anything
they wanted to ask him. And we were sitting there
watching the whole thing, and I thought to myself, he
has said more words to the media in this brief
(15:25):
talk to five years.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
He's talked about in every event, no matter what room
it was in, He's talking to everybody. Joe. We're so
used to Joe being shuffled in like Bernie, you know,
walking down. President who can talk again, talk again, open again,
working again, serving again. We know he's in charge. I
think I think, even if you're on the left, that's
got to look refreshing. I mean sometimes to really see
(15:50):
how different dead is is to be around the living.
I mean, it just it strikes you. It was profound.
When we come back. I want to talk a little
bit about the speech. I think those that were critical
probably chose to be critical in a sense that well,
it seemed more like a state of the Union that
it did an inaugural address, and at times it did.
(16:12):
But I thought what was brilliant was he didn't make
it about him. He made it about us. He didn't
give the credit to himself for winning, but to God
and those who put him in office. And then he
made it crystal clear what he was going to do,
and that was deliver on what you elected him to
do and change the direction. And I thought, in general,
hope and change, and I thought, in general, the most
(16:33):
memorable line impossible. That's what Americans do best.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Hi, I'm Andrea del Giorno and my husband and my

Speaker 9 (17:28):
Believe morning Michael didn't wake up till four forty five
Pacific time turned your show on.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It was quite amazed what I've heard so far.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
In fact, I've never been more motivated to go back
and listen to your podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Thanks for all you do there.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Thank you to the guests that come on and inform us,
and you have a safe and productive week.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I had no idea who was going to bring up
the podcast when I pre promoted the podcast, and then
he made it clear he's headed to the podcast. All right,
let's do live radio shot. We David Sanadi as our
senior contributaries, also host of The Public Square, heard on
two hundred stations, presides over high voters. Pretty remarkable day
yesterday of activity the president with a slew of executive
(18:12):
order actions, including some before twenty thousand fans in an arena.
Never thought I would see that, freezing all government hiring,
ordering federal workers back to the office full time, signing
an executive order aimed at tackling the TikTok ban an
energy crisis, to drill baby drill, withdrawing from the World
Health Organization, even an executive order to part in fifteen
(18:36):
hundred people convicted in the January sixth riots. We always
wonder when presidents are elected, will they keep their promises?
This guy did day one. He started immediately.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Well, a great start, and he of course he had
executive orders on both immigration, on the border, and on
energy as well. So that's good, Mike. We've been saying
this for a long time now that the next two
years will determine the next twelve and you can't ask
a president to get off to a hotter start than
Donald Trump did. And of course, first off, in a
historical perspective, it was a very hot start. No matter
(19:11):
who you compare him to, it particularly looks a contrast
we've had, in contrast, a president who's been incapacitated for
the last five years and hidden. And I think that's
the thing that we have to remember. So now, as
far as to be objective, how do you be objective
over something because it happens every four years and we
(19:32):
forget most of what happened when we're watching it again.
It's like every time's new. I'm always in for less
Donald Trump, not more. His speech was twice as long
as time as last time. It still wasn't too long.
It was just too long for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
The other things that we have to understand is that
Donald Trump was, and is and will be the best
thing that ever happens to the radicalized secular journalist press.
He fills their coffers and he knows it. I mean,
CNN and MSNBC was back in business. The New York
(20:07):
Times in the Atlantic were singing.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Like can Ari's Unfortunately, nobody's reading, nobody's listening, nobody's watching.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Well, the thirty nine percent that don't like Trump, those
that do read, those that do watch, will come over.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Their ratings were good during the first Trump administration. Their
ratings will get better.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
If Donald Trump has true victory and true legacy, he
won't just put some of them out of business. He'll
reshape their worldview. I can tell you right now, and
it's only January twenty first, twenty twenty five. He's in office,
and they're falling off a cliff. Now, if he leaves
office and he disproves all their policy views and worldviews,
(20:50):
they have to reinvent themselves to have a future. I
don't think I don't think they can set this out
for four years and then just come back with a
strong personality. I don't think it's gonna be that simple,
not after failing so dramatically and then having it turned
around immediately. So dramatically. They'll start connecting the dots that
we got more than just a partisan politic problem. We
(21:12):
got a worldview and a policy problem.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well, they're bleeding will stop for the next four years
just because they're segmented so small now that their coffers
will will rise.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
They're at the absolute bottom.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Now he'll fill their coffers just because the Trump haters
will We'll have to go somewhere. They'll need somebody to
talk to, so they'll be back at MSNBC. They'll be
back at See and then and the big moguls know
all that. But the difference is this time. What you're
talking about is the thought process of the left. Where
is that thought process? You know that thought process? And
(21:46):
the left always included those techies on their side of
the fence.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, they're not there, not there.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
And the thing that no one's talked about yet is
what are the reasons you know, these people have not
all had. I wish they would for all of us,
a dramatic spiritual conversion. I think that maybe they have,
Maybe they have it, But I know one thing. Their
personal interests are still very real, and they need power.
I understand something and I'm talking about actual literal power.
(22:13):
They need electricity to proceed into the next four years.
For AI to work, they have to be able to
build their own nuclear power plants. They need a friendly
relationship with the units.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Can you think of any time in history where a
party had to change its platform and priority? Look at
the Democrats for decades, and I don't like to play
with Republican versus Democrats. I just do right versus wrong.
But I can make political observations. The Democrat Party has
majored in minors. That's what they've been doing. Poll after poll.
What's the major economy? Stupid? They even forgot that this time,
(22:45):
the border, national security, putting America first, on and on
and out. Then you get to things like you know,
global warming or climate change, and it's always last and
if you ever attach a change to it, the American
people that just aren't interested. Same thing. The whole world
isn't walking around obsessed with sexuality and gender. They've always
majored in minors and minored in majors, and now it's
(23:08):
blown up in their face in such a memorable and
impossible to miss. Wagh Don't they have to go back
and have they ever in the past gone back and
had to kind of realign their platform and priorities and narrative. Oh,
no doubt.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Now there's different divisions as far as their media division goes.
They'll be happy to survive on what Trump gives them.
In the anti Trump movement, they'll get by. The bigger,
broader question is what is Podesta, Soros and the true
people that are controlling the thought agenda of the progressive
left and their academics. What are they going to do?
(23:44):
And right now, you're right, all they can do, as
they exhibited this morning, is look for the most nuanced
catch All they can play now is gotcha politics and
hope for the next year that Donald Trump falls flat
on his face.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
How are you coming back? And it's not even four years.
You got a mid term in two years that will
start rolling out in less than a year, and then
two years after that you got a general election, and
you're going to come back with transgendered LGBTQ, open borders
and embracing immigrants and electric car How do you go
(24:24):
back to that? It's an excellent question.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
The other side, now, as far as the leftist concern,
has to make a big mistake. So what would that
mistake be mistake would be too much Trump. And here's
what I mean by that. It's within two years we
have to have Trump three point zero for that movement
to move forward. In other words, within two years, Donald
Trump has got to be setting up his departure and
his handoff.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But I saw it in the speech yesterday. The first
speech was about him being the savior for out of
control and failed proven failed government. And I, as an
outsider and a businessman, have but my fortune and my
business is on hold to save this country for you
and make America great again. This time, it wasn't God
(25:07):
saved me to make America great again, and you all
put me here and I'm here to serve what you
put me here to do. There it is it was
far more about us than him this time. I think
that's the beginning of the handoff.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Well, I don't think there's any question if it continues
to go in that direction.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
You're right, that can be accomplished. They still have wes Moore,
who could this could be a play. Somebody like a
wes Moore who's charismatic. Go ahead and sell their platform,
go ahead and sell their ideas, and the continuation of
their ideas and be a more embraceable personality than whether
(25:47):
it's and I think jad Bants would be in the
driver's seat, but there are others and who he pairs
himself with would be huge to try to get back in.
But if you try to do it by issue, where
do they go? I've seen their platform unless they completely
change their worldview.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
The subtext of this whole conversation is when you talked
about majoring on miners, that's because their entire approach was tribalism,
split America based on envy into small pocket groups, and
then at election time, bring all those groups together and
see if that reaches fifty one per.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And today that's dead. Will it be back alive again
in four years? That's it? And it's see what once
that dies?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
It's the likelihood of resurrectoring it without somebody else making
a massive scandalous mistake.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Very slim. I guess we see this with Prince William's kids,
or I guess Prince Charles kids. We would start to that.
I think I think the world kind of gravitates to
William over Harry and YadA YadA YadA for his outspoken
astle Trump that you pay attention all it and keep
it all right in your head. That's yeah, Because I'm
watching the Trumps and I'm wondering, Okay, Donald Junior seems
(26:53):
like the play, but he's Sonny and the Godfather. The
middle brother's wife fixed a metaphor. Yes, the middle brother's
wife is the superstar. I don't know what her future is.
She ran the Republican Party all the way to victory.
I'm just sitting staring at this whole thing. And you know,
we had Bush and then we had w Bush. If
(27:15):
there's another Trump coming, am I the only one that
left yesterday thinking it might be Barren? Sure, but there's
something about that kid. He's a nick. I'm telling you
there's something. There's something about that kid.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
It's going to follow in this line of thinking.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
However, we got to ask us I.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Still want Italian and you haven't brought into the equation.
There's a guy in Florida named DeSantis who's gonna work.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, Uh, well you got DeSantis, you got Marco Ruby.
By the way, uh passed unanimously. Club of one hundred.
Do you want to make a comment about that? They
never turn on themselves, do they? But Hagsath and others
Christy nome all moved forward out of committee. I would
just end with this in the form of a question,
although I I'll give you my answer. Do you think
(27:58):
that Donald Trump's not I can get his full cabinet
because I think it's all but obvious he is even
hexcept No, I think that's I think it's pretty much
a foregone conclusion. Right now.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
I thought you're up with the most important question of
the day. Is that everybody noticed how Donald Trump had
changed his tie?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Was it blue? Was it red? Was it purple? It
was purple? Unity is behind purple? Was unity? Right? There?
You go? I guess what you make of Malania's hat.
I thought it was weird. I thought she kind of
looked sometimes she's like an assassin. Sometimes it's like a
little marching soldier. I don't know. I didn't get it. Look,
she's amazing, she is stunning. She is unto herself.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
And I have nothing to say but that's she's way
out of my league.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
And I get it.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
And however, I and I do not like Jimmy Fallon anymore.
I used to like him a lot, but boy, he
had a lot of funny lines that got reported today.
He said that hat reminded him of the old spy
versus Spy guy in in Mad magazine.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He got me on that one. Oh yeah, there were
several visuals that the Burgermeister. I know it was a
remarkable day, Hamburgler. We started the show, I want to
end it kind of with you anyway that this portion,
I asked Red can what would you describe yesterday in
one word? Because I was going to make that our
question in the talk back, and I think he went
with whirlwind. I went with triumphant, but then I couldn't
(29:12):
hold there. I had to say bold and busy. Jeffrey
chose two words Daddy's home, and then played the song
what would be your one word description of yesterday? M melancholy? Really? Yeah,
explain in ten seconds or less.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
There's been a lot of pain that's gone before us,
and I'm not sure we can get out of it
as quickly as mister Trump would hope.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
David Zanatti with the American Pousing Roundtable, host of the
Public Square, and our senior contributors, Thanks so much for
your time. This is your Morning Show with Michael de Tuno.
Donald Trump hit the ground running, taking immediate action. Returning
to the presidency, including freezing all government hiring, ordering federal
workers back to the office full time, signing an executive
(29:59):
order aimed at tackling the TikTok ban to drill baby drill,
the energy crisis, the border crisis, withdrew from the World
Health Organization, even signed in an executive order pardoning roughly
fifteen hundred people convicted in the January sixth rides. And
that's just to name a few. Meanwhile, the Biden family
made more of a getaway than a farewell after blanket
(30:20):
pardons for Biden's entire family. And some good news out west.
Firefighters are increasing the containment of two of the most
destructive wildfires in the Los Angeles area and the Ohio
state buck Eyes over the Notre Dame Fighting Hours. They're
national champions for the first time since twenty fourteen, and
their ninth in program history. Well one guy whose job
(30:41):
just well, the description stays the same, but the subject changes.
John Decker is the White House correspondent of the Donald
Trump presidency now and he joins us that was I
played your report earlier in the show as a news report.
That was a pretty remarkable day. That was a lot
to cover.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
A lot to cover just with the inaugural address, and
his day was just getting started because after that a
luncheon and the capital over to the Capital One Arena,
where he signed a slew of executive orders, signing more
in the Oval Office last night, and then attending three
inaugural balls in which he got back to the White
(31:22):
House around twelve thirty this morning. So very long day
for Donald Trump. Today's his first full day as president,
and he will begin his day with a prayer service
at the National Cathedral, which I just passed by completely
forgot about that service. Bad on me because tremendous traffic
this morning.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Because of that, much of our nation's capital blocked off,
fenced off, barricaded off. Most of the inaugural events were
all brought indoors. Your take on that, You've obviously covered
a lot of presidents and a lot of inaugurations. Reagan
did it indoors for cold weather. I don't know that
if it was for security reasons or not, but it
(32:03):
certainly made security a lot easier. And then some of
the everyday events just I don't know. In some ways
they were more poignant indoors and more intimate indoors. So
kind of you missed the visual of a sea of
people as far as the eye can see. But I
don't know your take on indoor versus outdoor, because I
(32:24):
thought it added in some ways added a lot.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Well, you know, I think it's disappointing for all of
those who had planned weeks, if not months, yeah, ahead
of time, to travel to Washington to see Donald Trump
being sworn in to view his inaugural address in person.
And I saw a lot and spoke to a lot
of those people that fall into that category. Yes, it
was brutally cold here in Washington, DC. I understand why
(32:48):
it was moved inside. Made my life a lot easier.
That's been sure, in the sense that I would have
otherwise been outside and what would have felt like single
digits for more than ten hours. That is not fun.
So I'm glad it was indoors and as you point out,
a more intimate setting inside the Capitol rode Hunder.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
If there was a challenge for President Trump, it would
be well outside with a sea of people in front
of him as far as you can see, talking to
the American people in person and by television. And then
in that intimate setting there might have been a temptation
to speak to the room. It didn't seem to change
his words much. And whatever that speech was assigned for
is how it was delivered. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
And it was short. You know, inaugural addresses sometimes go
on the long end and you lose the attention of
the public. This was just about a half hour in length,
and it sounded, quite frankly, like a lot of the
things that he says a campaign rallies in terms of
America first foreign policies, America first domestic policies as well.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Is there any line you know, whenever we have inaugural addresses,
we expect there to be a JFK type moment. I
thought when he talked about the possible and this is
all of our impossible journey, because impossible is what America
does best. I think that might be one that lives
for a while.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
Well, we always look for that moment, you know, and
quite frankly, there aren't that many of them. And you know,
to me, I don't think anything leaps out at me,
you know, in the moment when it was delivered, as like, wow,
that's a great line. I think overall it was a
great speech in the sense that he covered all the
ground that he wanted to cover.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
No surprises, because.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
We've heard Donald Trump in terms of what he wants
to do now that he's president, and we saw a
lot of that yesterday with the signing of those executive orders.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Well as a White House correspondent, you have a president
that likes to meet with the press, he likes to talk,
he's accessible, and he is hitting the ground running. I
see many busy days in your future, John Decker, and
I know you're up for the task. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Many busy days. Thanks, Michael Bayba, you guy it.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
We'll talk again tomorrow. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael Nteld, Journo
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:21):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Chorn seven
minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show on the air coast to coast and streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app anytime anywhere. This is your
morning show. Welcome to Tuesday, January, the twenty first year
of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Can't have your morning
(00:54):
show without your voice, suffer not. Valerie under thee.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
A great song, one of my faitavorite songs that fits
what's going on in this country right now. It's Ruby
A men fu a m A and Fu starting up
something great song, lots of energy here little bit morning.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, we started up some day and we started up. No,
I like this better listen, this is more up, more
like that. Hey minutes after the hour, I uh, I
left off with David Sanati yesterday and we were saying, well,
(01:37):
I wonder what Pardon's next after Fauci and Millie, I'm
thinking his brother. Well, turns out it was his brother, David.
The secret pardoning and the more of a getaway than
a farewell from the Bidens. Would a fitting end to
a dark and corrupt administration. And then uh, the inaugural
(01:58):
address and then they getting right to work with executive orders.
But I want to start with this with you. This,
to me is the summary of everything yesterday, let alone
everything in the inaugural address. Right here, I.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Stand before you now as proof that you should never
believe that something is impossible to do in America.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The impossible is what we do best in America. Impossible
is what we do best. Because if you think yesterday
was just about Donald Trump's triumph, you missed it. You
missed the whole story. It was America's triumph. Everybody that
risked their job to stand behind them, risk their position
(02:42):
in their neighborhood or with their family members. It really was.
And then I think just the overall feeling of after
four years if really from day one not really believing
Joe Biden was running the country. I mean, the rumors
from day one were Okay, they used him to get elected.
Now he's going to hand it off to Kamala. And
then where is he and is doing anything? And there's
(03:02):
no question who the President of the United States is
and that he is very busy and he's calling the shots.
It's it's a it's definitely a hope of change and
a breathtaking pace of a new administration.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Your take on yesterday, Well, there's so many observations, Michael,
that we can make. We can think the whole morning,
and some of them are nuanced, some of them are
really tiny, some of them you're not really sure that
you saw. And some of them people didn't see, but
they actually happened. Like, for example, the portrait of Franklin
(03:36):
Delano Roosevelt was removed from over the fireplace in the
Oval Office and replaced with the portrait of George Washington.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's a really good move, I think, so.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I think that's a really and that that kind of
says it all.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
David. You spent all your life in government policy and history.
The first is still the best. The first may never
be topped. George Washington, and for Donald Trump in his
current resurrected state and focus, made that one of the
first moves pretty profound. Yeah, I think that was a
(04:14):
good move. I think he thinks it's a republic. I
think he thinks it's a republic, not a democracy.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Well, now, since you brought that up, I think it's
very important to note, and I don't understand why in
a ceremony that is pretty important. The inauguration is a
pretty big deal, and I'm being understated for a reason
that people don't pay closer attention to words.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I don't know why Senator Klobachar was selected.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
To do the job that she was given, and it
was done long before the outcome, right, But that to
me is a formula for failure no matter what you have,
because if her party had won, it would have been awkward.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Her party lost and it was even and she felt
compelled to do a worldview restatement of reality to start
the event off, in which she was very careful in
her opening remarks and then everywhere else. She was given
the platform throughout the balance of the day to make
sure that she said the word democracy as many times
as she could put it into one sentence, because what
(05:20):
she was saying was, by the way, to all the progressives,
we haven't given up on remaking America into a democracy.
But what was interesting is this time the president of
the United States used the word republic over and again.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Let's start with a stunning visual. Seeing Rfk and Telsea Gabbert,
two Democratic presidential candidates, shooting the breeze behind where the
president would take the oath of office. Elon Musk jumping around.
Jeff Bezos is inappropriately dressed, wife Mark Zuckerberg checking out
Jeff Bezos is inappropriate life. The Apple leader, the Google leader,
(05:58):
but seeing that the tech titans, I mean, you know,
I kept saying, over and over again, more than just
Donald Trump won an election, and more than just Kamala
Harris and Joe Biden lost. I mean, think about it.
He not only triumphantly returns to the Oval office, all
of these Cabald table players against him are now behind him.
(06:18):
I mean, that visual for me was stunning.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It's perhaps the most stunning thing that was on the
stage is that reality. In fact, if I didn't know
you could put that much corporate wealth in one place
at one time, I mean, I thought the stage would tip.
I mean, these people have more cash on hand than
the entire federal government.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So how different can this administration be? A Donald Trump's different?
I've got to go back to one clip if I can.
I don't think. I think you know, because inaugural speeches
don't have those memorable lines like ask not they had
one impossible That's what America does best. But I want
to play another clip. I'll restated for you because I
(06:59):
know you can hear the clips, but for everybody else, listen.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
An assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But 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 1 (07:17):
All Right, it's him talking about being saved by God
in order to make America great again. Maybe Donald Trump
one point zero was Donald Trump the savior coming to
save a broken America that he's observed for decades as
a businessman. This time he's a humble man, saved by
grace by God in order to make America great. That's
(07:39):
not a subtle difference. Number one. Number two, the control
of narrative has been destroyed from print to radio to
television and all of their worldview and game changing. You know,
where a democracy not a republic, and democracy is democratic
candidates and the Democrat platform, and if you oppose them,
(08:01):
you oppose democracy. We're going to demonize you and you're
an enemy of the state. That's all gone, it's all
been dismantled. And then those that used to silence any
opposition thought, well, they were all standing behind him taking
the oath of office. I mean he's different, America's different,
and his enemies are different heading into the second term.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah, that's an interesting observation, Michael. Our organization, if the
American Policy round Table began in the state of Ohio,
where the motto is with God, all things are possible,
we had to defend that motto because it was spoken
first by Jesus Christ. We had to defend that model
in federal court the whole way of the sixth District
and one to be able to keep a state motto
like that, it's fascinating and we were privileged to be
(08:42):
a part of that battle. But I take a little
different view on that question of what is possible and
what happens in America. But the total of the event
certainly didn't leave God out of the equation, to be certain.
There were five people who prayed in extraordinarily different ways.
(09:03):
Uh yeah, And I thought that was that was very
interesting in and of itself. I think that the music
that was selected was very unusual to have a solo
piano playing. And what people didn't know A lot of
people did, some didn't, is that that little solo version
that five minutes, that medley, those were all hymns. Yeah,
and they concluded with the hymn Greatest Thy Faithfulness. I
(09:25):
get subtle. That was very subtle, but it was very
real and very interesting. And then I just I've got
to give you know, I'm not a Carrie Underwood fan,
but I got to give her.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
A lot of credit. Just as I said, come on, Carrie,
you don't need that.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Try all of us in the business are saying just
saying it, and she.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did that was couraging so with great melody, with just
vocal perfection, and you could see Donald Trump, you know,
go to her immediately. It really made the moment better.
It was really cool.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Because it was real, and so you had that moment
one of all of this, all these trappings and all
this history and all this significance, and then you had
that totally human moment in the moment, and everybody responded,
and I thought that was greatly refreshing.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
David said, a very encouraging. So there are things now.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I will also tell you that Elon Musk has taken
a lot of let's go back to the techies. Elon
Musk has taken a lot of flat today because New
York Times has published his little Hand to the Heart
and salute to the crowd and called it a Nazi
se Kyle as has the Atlantic, has the Atlantic, so
to be fair and balance the scales, she people should
(10:35):
go to YouTube and replay Clovid Char's remarks. And when
she says the peaceful transition of power, the camera has
her and Biden and at the same time, and when
she says the peaceful transition of power, Biden snickers and
makes the sign of the cross. I don't know if
you caught that, but it happened. He's the only one
who knew. Of course, he had just pulled the pardon button. Yeah,
(10:57):
we're going to get to that. David s and I
the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He presides over
Eye Voters. He's also co host of the American Policy Roundtable.
The Public Square heard on two hundred stations, and we
come back. Let's talk about those pardons and what they
say and perhaps something we alluded to yesterday, the problem
they cause because the investigations can go on and now
they can't play the fifth.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Jonno.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Hey, this is Philip listening from north of Cincinnati, Ohio,
where six degrees and flurries are flying. I just find
its humorous that the elites are beside themselves over the
tech giants attending the inauguration. It wasn't too long ago
that the tech giants were in the pockets of the
liberals and doing their bidding, and now they're upset that
(11:44):
the tech giants are trying to protect their businesses. It
is just the height of hypocrisy.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Have a great day, and you too, as were the pardons,
the height of hypocrisy. Take tap or just ripped Joe
Biden because he entered viewed him in twenty twenty, when
they were creating the fictitious straw man of Donald Trump
doing pardons on his way out, he was talking to
President elect Trump and Vice President elect Kamala Harris, creating
(12:10):
this Trump preemptive pardon that never happened. And then Joe
Biden does it and in the cowardly way he did
while they're on stage, while the president is taking the
oath of office, he sneaks in his last act as
president to partner his entire family and David Sinat he's
joining us with the American Policy Roundtable in the public square,
(12:31):
and our senior contributor, he listed all those irrelevant family members.
This was about pardoning his brother because his brother and
Hunter coordinated the deals with the big guy when he
was vice president. There's no question this was a last minute,
despicable act. They go out as dark as they and
his shady as they ruled, or whoever's ruling.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And the thing is is we call these pardons because
we don't have a word for him. Yeah, they're like
blanket exemptions or maybe get out of jail free cards.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, it's like from that that didn't play well
with the left either.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Yesterday, though, Yeah, from this date backwards, no matter what
you ever did that has to do with the federal
crime forget it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Never mind. Well, Fauci's goes back to twenty fourteen, which
would suggest this has to do with gain of function.
Maybe he created this virus with and in China and
he gets a part of it. But there's a twist
to this, which is you can't bleed the Fifth now.
Now you can still investigate these things, and you can
still you know, put these witnesses on trial, and now
(13:34):
they can't blead the fifth because they don't face any punishment.
They may have to sing like a canary.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Well, the language of the Fifth Amendment is a little tricky,
and we've never seen to get out of jail card
prosecuted before or tested. So that'll be an interesting conversation
if anything would ever come of it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Would you move forward?
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Though?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I mean, wouldn't you reveal this stuff even though you can't.
Maybe you can't send vouch you to jail, but you
can reveal everything he was and.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Did oh listen investigations and get out of jail free
courgage who completely different things. Yeah, very interesting arena, but
again it's the irony of it all is. The rationale
was given. They had to do it because they were
afraid of Donald Trump. Afraid of Donald Trump doing what
while prosecuting us for political purposes? Oh excuse me? And
(14:18):
I was afraid of Donald Trump doing to you? What
did you did to him? So I said, height of hypocrisy.
This is an interesting note. What is your opinion? I
know it's but he got so much done yesterday. It
hit the ground running. It's a legitimate question.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
What is your opinion of the job performance of Donald
Trump as he starts his new term as president of
the United States. The overnight poll fifty six percent approval,
thirty nine percent disapproval. He's got the American people behind him.
Marco Rubio comes through the Club of one hundred. I
know you're probably dying to comment on that. I thought
of you immediately unanimously, because it's the Club of one hundred.
But heg Seth and others are moving forward out of
(14:56):
committee Lincoln Riley Bill passes. I mean, what could have
possibly gone better for Donald Trump yesterday?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, the thing that touched me was watching him signing
the executive orders at the Oval Office while he was
multitasking and answering a completely unrestricted media asking him anything
they wanted to ask him. And we were sitting there
watching the whole thing, and I thought to myself, he
has said more words to the media in this brief
(15:25):
talk to five years.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
He's talked about in every event, no matter what room
it was in, He's talking to everybody. Joe. We're so
used to Joe being shuffled in like Bernie, you know,
walking down. President who can talk again, talk again, open again,
working again, serving again. We know he's in charge. I
think I think, even if you're on the left, that's
got to look refreshing. I mean sometimes to really see
(15:50):
how different dead is is to be around the living.
I mean, it just it strikes you. It was profound.
When we come back. I want to talk a little
bit about the speech. I think those that were critical
probably chose to be critical in a sense that well,
it seemed more like a state of the Union that
it did an inaugural address, and at times it did.
(16:12):
But I thought what was brilliant was he didn't make
it about him. He made it about us. He didn't
give the credit to himself for winning, but to God
and those who put him in office. And then he
made it crystal clear what he was going to do,
and that was deliver on what you elected him to
do and change the direction. And I thought, in general,
hope and change, and I thought, in general, the most
(16:33):
memorable line impossible. That's what Americans do best.
Speaker 8 (16:39):

Speaker 1 (17:50):
I had no idea who was going to bring up
the podcast when I pre promoted the podcast, and then
he made it clear he's headed to the podcast. All right,
let's do live radio shot. We David Sanadi as our
senior contributaries, also host of The Public Square, heard on
two hundred stations, presides over high voters. Pretty remarkable day
yesterday of activity the president with a slew of executive
(18:12):
order actions, including some before twenty thousand fans in an arena.
Never thought I would see that, freezing all government hiring,
ordering federal workers back to the office full time, signing
an executive order aimed at tackling the TikTok ban an
energy crisis, to drill baby drill, withdrawing from the World
Health Organization, even an executive order to part in fifteen
(18:36):
hundred people convicted in the January sixth riots. We always
wonder when presidents are elected, will they keep their promises?
This guy did day one. He started immediately.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Well, a great start, and he of course he had
executive orders on both immigration, on the border, and on
energy as well. So that's good, Mike. We've been saying
this for a long time now that the next two
years will determine the next twelve and you can't ask
a president to get off to a hotter start than
Donald Trump did. And of course, first off, in a
historical perspective, it was a very hot start. No matter
(19:11):
who you compare him to, it particularly looks a contrast
we've had, in contrast, a president who's been incapacitated for
the last five years and hidden. And I think that's
the thing that we have to remember. So now, as
far as to be objective, how do you be objective
over something because it happens every four years and we
(19:32):
forget most of what happened when we're watching it again.
It's like every time's new. I'm always in for less
Donald Trump, not more. His speech was twice as long
as time as last time. It still wasn't too long.
It was just too long for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
The other things that we have to understand is that
Donald Trump was, and is and will be the best
thing that ever happens to the radicalized secular journalist press.
He fills their coffers and he knows it. I mean,
CNN and MSNBC was back in business. The New York
(20:07):
Times in the Atlantic were singing.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Like can Ari's Unfortunately, nobody's reading, nobody's listening, nobody's watching.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Well, the thirty nine percent that don't like Trump, those
that do read, those that do watch, will come over.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Their ratings were good during the first Trump administration. Their
ratings will get better.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
If Donald Trump has true victory and true legacy, he
won't just put some of them out of business. He'll
reshape their worldview. I can tell you right now, and
it's only January twenty first, twenty twenty five. He's in office,
and they're falling off a cliff. Now, if he leaves
office and he disproves all their policy views and worldviews,
(20:50):
they have to reinvent themselves to have a future. I
don't think I don't think they can set this out
for four years and then just come back with a
strong personality. I don't think it's gonna be that simple,
not after failing so dramatically and then having it turned
around immediately. So dramatically. They'll start connecting the dots that
we got more than just a partisan politic problem. We
(21:12):
got a worldview and a policy problem.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Well, they're bleeding will stop for the next four years
just because they're segmented so small now that their coffers
will will rise.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
They're at the absolute bottom.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Now he'll fill their coffers just because the Trump haters
will We'll have to go somewhere. They'll need somebody to
talk to, so they'll be back at MSNBC. They'll be
back at See and then and the big moguls know
all that. But the difference is this time. What you're
talking about is the thought process of the left. Where
is that thought process? You know that thought process? And
(21:46):
the left always included those techies on their side of
the fence.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, they're not there, not there.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
And the thing that no one's talked about yet is
what are the reasons you know, these people have not
all had. I wish they would for all of us,
a dramatic spiritual conversion. I think that maybe they have,
Maybe they have it, But I know one thing. Their
personal interests are still very real, and they need power.
I understand something and I'm talking about actual literal power.
(22:13):
They need electricity to proceed into the next four years.
For AI to work, they have to be able to
build their own nuclear power plants. They need a friendly
relationship with the units.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Can you think of any time in history where a
party had to change its platform and priority? Look at
the Democrats for decades, and I don't like to play
with Republican versus Democrats. I just do right versus wrong.
But I can make political observations. The Democrat Party has
majored in minors. That's what they've been doing. Poll after poll.
What's the major economy? Stupid? They even forgot that this time,
(22:45):
the border, national security, putting America first, on and on
and out. Then you get to things like you know,
global warming or climate change, and it's always last and
if you ever attach a change to it, the American
people that just aren't interested. Same thing. The whole world
isn't walking around obsessed with sexuality and gender. They've always
majored in minors and minored in majors, and now it's
(23:08):
blown up in their face in such a memorable and
impossible to miss. Wagh Don't they have to go back
and have they ever in the past gone back and
had to kind of realign their platform and priorities and narrative. Oh,
no doubt.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Now there's different divisions as far as their media division goes.
They'll be happy to survive on what Trump gives them.
In the anti Trump movement, they'll get by. The bigger,
broader question is what is Podesta, Soros and the true
people that are controlling the thought agenda of the progressive
left and their academics. What are they going to do?
(23:44):
And right now, you're right, all they can do, as
they exhibited this morning, is look for the most nuanced
catch All they can play now is gotcha politics and
hope for the next year that Donald Trump falls flat
on his face.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
How are you coming back? And it's not even four years.
You got a mid term in two years that will
start rolling out in less than a year, and then
two years after that you got a general election, and
you're going to come back with transgendered LGBTQ, open borders
and embracing immigrants and electric car How do you go
(24:24):
back to that? It's an excellent question.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
The other side, now, as far as the leftist concern,
has to make a big mistake. So what would that
mistake be mistake would be too much Trump. And here's
what I mean by that. It's within two years we
have to have Trump three point zero for that movement
to move forward. In other words, within two years, Donald
Trump has got to be setting up his departure and
his handoff.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But I saw it in the speech yesterday. The first
speech was about him being the savior for out of
control and failed proven failed government. And I, as an
outsider and a businessman, have but my fortune and my
business is on hold to save this country for you
and make America great again. This time, it wasn't God
(25:07):
saved me to make America great again, and you all
put me here and I'm here to serve what you
put me here to do. There it is it was
far more about us than him this time. I think
that's the beginning of the handoff.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Well, I don't think there's any question if it continues
to go in that direction.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
You're right, that can be accomplished. They still have wes Moore,
who could this could be a play. Somebody like a
wes Moore who's charismatic. Go ahead and sell their platform,
go ahead and sell their ideas, and the continuation of
their ideas and be a more embraceable personality than whether
(25:47):
it's and I think jad Bants would be in the
driver's seat, but there are others and who he pairs
himself with would be huge to try to get back in.
But if you try to do it by issue, where
do they go? I've seen their platform unless they completely
change their worldview.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
The subtext of this whole conversation is when you talked
about majoring on miners, that's because their entire approach was tribalism,
split America based on envy into small pocket groups, and
then at election time, bring all those groups together and
see if that reaches fifty one per.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And today that's dead. Will it be back alive again
in four years? That's it? And it's see what once
that dies?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
It's the likelihood of resurrectoring it without somebody else making
a massive scandalous mistake.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Very slim. I guess we see this with Prince William's kids,
or I guess Prince Charles kids. We would start to that.
I think I think the world kind of gravitates to
William over Harry and YadA YadA YadA for his outspoken
astle Trump that you pay attention all it and keep
it all right in your head. That's yeah, Because I'm
watching the Trumps and I'm wondering, Okay, Donald Junior seems
(26:53):
like the play, but he's Sonny and the Godfather. The
middle brother's wife fixed a metaphor. Yes, the middle brother's
wife is the superstar. I don't know what her future is.
She ran the Republican Party all the way to victory.
I'm just sitting staring at this whole thing. And you know,
we had Bush and then we had w Bush. If
(27:15):
there's another Trump coming, am I the only one that
left yesterday thinking it might be Barren? Sure, but there's
something about that kid. He's a nick. I'm telling you
there's something. There's something about that kid.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
It's going to follow in this line of thinking.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
However, we got to ask us I.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Still want Italian and you haven't brought into the equation.
There's a guy in Florida named DeSantis who's gonna work.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, Uh, well you got DeSantis, you got Marco Ruby.
By the way, uh passed unanimously. Club of one hundred.
Do you want to make a comment about that? They
never turn on themselves, do they? But Hagsath and others
Christy nome all moved forward out of committee. I would
just end with this in the form of a question,
although I I'll give you my answer. Do you think
(27:58):
that Donald Trump's not I can get his full cabinet
because I think it's all but obvious he is even
hexcept No, I think that's I think it's pretty much
a foregone conclusion. Right now.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
I thought you're up with the most important question of
the day. Is that everybody noticed how Donald Trump had
changed his tie?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Was it blue? Was it red? Was it purple? It
was purple? Unity is behind purple? Was unity? Right? There?
You go? I guess what you make of Malania's hat.
I thought it was weird. I thought she kind of
looked sometimes she's like an assassin. Sometimes it's like a
little marching soldier. I don't know. I didn't get it. Look,
she's amazing, she is stunning. She is unto herself.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
And I have nothing to say but that's she's way
out of my league.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
And I get it.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
And however, I and I do not like Jimmy Fallon anymore.
I used to like him a lot, but boy, he
had a lot of funny lines that got reported today.
He said that hat reminded him of the old spy
versus Spy guy in in Mad magazine.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
He got me on that one. Oh yeah, there were
several visuals that the Burgermeister. I know it was a
remarkable day, Hamburgler. We started the show, I want to
end it kind of with you anyway that this portion,
I asked Red can what would you describe yesterday in
one word? Because I was going to make that our
question in the talk back, and I think he went
with whirlwind. I went with triumphant, but then I couldn't
(29:12):
hold there. I had to say bold and busy. Jeffrey
chose two words Daddy's home, and then played the song
what would be your one word description of yesterday? M melancholy? Really? Yeah,
explain in ten seconds or less.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
There's been a lot of pain that's gone before us,
and I'm not sure we can get out of it
as quickly as mister Trump would hope.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
David Zanatti with the American Pousing Roundtable, host of the
Public Square, and our senior contributors, Thanks so much for
your time. This is your Morning Show with Michael de Tuno.
Donald Trump hit the ground running, taking immediate action. Returning
to the presidency, including freezing all government hiring, ordering federal
workers back to the office full time, signing an executive
(29:59):
order aimed at tackling the TikTok ban to drill baby drill,
the energy crisis, the border crisis, withdrew from the World
Health Organization, even signed in an executive order pardoning roughly
fifteen hundred people convicted in the January sixth rides. And
that's just to name a few. Meanwhile, the Biden family
made more of a getaway than a farewell after blanket
(30:20):
pardons for Biden's entire family. And some good news out west.
Firefighters are increasing the containment of two of the most
destructive wildfires in the Los Angeles area and the Ohio
state buck Eyes over the Notre Dame Fighting Hours. They're
national champions for the first time since twenty fourteen, and
their ninth in program history. Well one guy whose job
(30:41):
just well, the description stays the same, but the subject changes.
John Decker is the White House correspondent of the Donald
Trump presidency now and he joins us that was I
played your report earlier in the show as a news report.
That was a pretty remarkable day. That was a lot
to cover.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
A lot to cover just with the inaugural address, and
his day was just getting started because after that a
luncheon and the capital over to the Capital One Arena,
where he signed a slew of executive orders, signing more
in the Oval Office last night, and then attending three
inaugural balls in which he got back to the White
(31:22):
House around twelve thirty this morning. So very long day
for Donald Trump. Today's his first full day as president,
and he will begin his day with a prayer service
at the National Cathedral, which I just passed by completely
forgot about that service. Bad on me because tremendous traffic
this morning.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Because of that, much of our nation's capital blocked off,
fenced off, barricaded off. Most of the inaugural events were
all brought indoors. Your take on that, You've obviously covered
a lot of presidents and a lot of inaugurations. Reagan
did it indoors for cold weather. I don't know that
if it was for security reasons or not, but it
(32:03):
certainly made security a lot easier. And then some of
the everyday events just I don't know. In some ways
they were more poignant indoors and more intimate indoors. So
kind of you missed the visual of a sea of
people as far as the eye can see. But I
don't know your take on indoor versus outdoor, because I
(32:24):
thought it added in some ways added a lot.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Well, you know, I think it's disappointing for all of
those who had planned weeks, if not months, yeah, ahead
of time, to travel to Washington to see Donald Trump
being sworn in to view his inaugural address in person.
And I saw a lot and spoke to a lot
of those people that fall into that category. Yes, it
was brutally cold here in Washington, DC. I understand why
(32:48):
it was moved inside. Made my life a lot easier.
That's been sure, in the sense that I would have
otherwise been outside and what would have felt like single
digits for more than ten hours. That is not fun.
So I'm glad it was indoors and as you point out,
a more intimate setting inside the Capitol rode Hunder.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
If there was a challenge for President Trump, it would
be well outside with a sea of people in front
of him as far as you can see, talking to
the American people in person and by television. And then
in that intimate setting there might have been a temptation
to speak to the room. It didn't seem to change
his words much. And whatever that speech was assigned for
is how it was delivered. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
And it was short. You know, inaugural addresses sometimes go
on the long end and you lose the attention of
the public. This was just about a half hour in length,
and it sounded, quite frankly, like a lot of the
things that he says a campaign rallies in terms of
America first foreign policies, America first domestic policies as well.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Is there any line you know, whenever we have inaugural addresses,
we expect there to be a JFK type moment. I
thought when he talked about the possible and this is
all of our impossible journey, because impossible is what America
does best. I think that might be one that lives
for a while.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
Well, we always look for that moment, you know, and
quite frankly, there aren't that many of them. And you know,
to me, I don't think anything leaps out at me,
you know, in the moment when it was delivered, as like, wow,
that's a great line. I think overall it was a
great speech in the sense that he covered all the
ground that he wanted to cover.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
No surprises, because.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
We've heard Donald Trump in terms of what he wants
to do now that he's president, and we saw a
lot of that yesterday with the signing of those executive orders.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Well as a White House correspondent, you have a president
that likes to meet with the press, he likes to talk,
he's accessible, and he is hitting the ground running. I
see many busy days in your future, John Decker, and
I know you're up for the task. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Many busy days. Thanks, Michael Bayba, you guy it.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
We'll talk again tomorrow. We're all in this together. This
is your Morning Show with Michael Nteld, Journo
