Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael Delchonho.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Sounds the day. Well, he came out swinging, didn't he.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our 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.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
To be taken advantage of any longer. That's obviously the
way it started. He had many criticisms of the previous
administration and laid out what felt like at times the
State of the Union address, but his vision the next
four years and beyond.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
During every single day of the Trump administration, I will
very simply put America first. 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
(01:12):
and seemingly incomplete disrepair.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I remember I said yesterday, I don't know that it
really is. It's kind of a heat in and of himself.
I mean, things have been so bad the last four years,
and people know what they were like prior to that.
The ignoring of the border, the ignoring of the economy,
the weakness projected that leads to wars. America knew the
(01:39):
change it needed, but I said, ultimately, it's the breach
of trust, the loss of trust in leadership and government.
So glad Donald Trump brought up trust front and center
and early.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We now have a government that cannot manage even a
simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling
into a continue you in catalog of catastrophic events a Brook.
The journey to reclaim 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
(02:16):
and indeed to take my life. I was saved by
God to make America great again.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor. This
will be a great honor.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
But in his honor, we will strive together to make
his dream a reality.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
We will make his dream come proved. President had many
many themes, memorable lines, you know, like an inaugural address
where's the not you know famous line? I thought it
(02:56):
was this one. You know, it's tough when it's you
to pull this off. And I think Donald Trump really
made the inaugural address about us and not him. But
In addressing himself, he addressed the impossible moment of him
(03:19):
standing before everyone.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I stand before you now as proof that you should
never believe that something is impossible to do. In America,
the impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I think that's the memorable line forever. There was an
old movie. It was Jeff Bridges and I can't remember.
I think it was Starman something like that back in
the seventies, and it was just a cheesy kind of
a you know, a space guy gets trapped on Earth,
falls in love, has a baby with a human. I mean,
(03:57):
you know, a little cheesy, right, And then in the
midst of this cheeseball movie, Jeff Bridges delivers a powerful line.
I've made an observation about you humans, you're at your
best when things are worst, which is actually a very
(04:23):
very profound biblical exogy. Quite frankly, you want to be weak,
you want to be strong, be weak, you want to
be first, be last, you want to live die. But
that line, that's a powerful line. Test it, by the way,
(04:45):
in your own mind for a second. Impossible, So we
do best. That's why so many people can't believe we
really landed on the moon. But we did impossible is
what we do best. You know, Joe Biden is to
always whenever he would go off to wherever Joe Biden
(05:09):
goes off to. You know, he had that one line
that you know, whenever he would default in the United
States of America and everything Christmas done, screaming and angry
like a nursing home. There's gonna be hoddam Bill Campacity
can pay capability. I'm not joking real, but that's the
(05:31):
eloquent way to say it impossible. The final thing I
would point out, and it struck me. If you only
see this as Donald Trump's impossible journey come true, you've
only missed everything. This is all of our impossible journey.
(06:00):
As one commentator said on television, we all had to
take this risk with him. We all had to dare
to lose family members or our jobs just to stand
with him. I mean, we're all free now, but at
the time we weren't. I can say this now because
(06:24):
it's a matter of googling and finding, but I worked
for a company that said, if you say anything on
the air to discourage people from getting a vaccination, you'll
be fired. Never mind, all my journeys of discovery with
COVID and the vaccination speak the truth, get fired. They
(06:49):
just settled some lawsuits. I believe there was a time
where this man was the devil himself, demonized as a felon,
demonized as a rapist, demonized as an insurrectionist, demonized as
a tyrant, a fascist, a dictator. Now I revealed the
(07:19):
whole game starting with Obama. We're a democracy, and people
used to go nowhere. Now we're a republic. We're democracy
with democracy, and then everybody eventually just gives up. Now
they turned onto me. Democracy, the Democrat Party, it's candidates,
its platform. Now if you oppose their candidate, or their platform,
or their worldview, you're an insurrectionist. You're an enemy of
(07:42):
the state. There was a time to get behind Donald
Trump made you an enemy of the family, an enemy
of your company, a homophobe, an islamophobe, a hater. This
was all of our impossible journey. And because it was
all of our impossible journey, well I don't have to
(08:04):
tell you it. Possible is what we do best. I
want to start with do I have time to do? Yeah?
I do. We'll start with the flashback. This is Joe
Biden in twenty twenty as president elect with Vice President
(08:29):
Elect Kamala Harris by his side, and he's talking about
with Jake Tapper preemptive pardons that, of course, you know,
was a straw man that they made up about Donald Trump.
Though Donald Trump didn't do it. Donald Trump didn't leave
office pardoning everybody and doing preemptive pardons. But in their
(08:52):
creating of this straw man, they bring this wicked Donald
Trump and what he might do is he leaves up
to the President elect Joe Biden. Now, listen closely to
Joe Biden's answer, because even Jake Tapper was remembering it yesterday.
All these preemptive partons.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Well, it concerns me in terms of what kind of
precedent sets and how the rest of the world looks
at us as a nation of.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Laws and injustice.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Now, in terms of the pardons, you're not going to
see an our administration that kind of approach to pardons.
Nor are you going to see an our administration the
approach to making policy by tweets. You know, it's just
going to be a totally different way in which we
approach the justices.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, you're going to get cognitively impaired and be completely absent.
But you lied about the pardon part. Here's how it
all unfolded on CNN yesterday. It's just unseemly.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
If you're going to do it, have the courage to
do it in the light of day and explain it
to the American people. It's a stain on his legacy
to do it like this. We can have an argument
about is it necessary. Has Donald Trump promised retribution? Guess
he has. But I just if you're the president United
States who said that the curse of Donald Trump was
that he didn't respect democracy and didn't respect norms, have
(10:13):
the courage to look the American people in the I'd
explain what you're.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Doing as they're showing the helicopter flying off a getaway.
More than a fair oyal and a fitting ending to
a corrupt presidency. Just I appreciate mister King remembering, Oh
Jake Tapper remembered. Listen.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
We should note that for career officials at the Justice Department,
this is a really crappy day because it starts with
these sweeping pardons. The President Biden, former President Biden now
is giving to his immediate family preemptively preemptive pardons for
(10:53):
his brothers Frank and Jimmy, to his sister Valerie, and
then to I think a couple of ins. Yeah, and
that to a lot of people, you know, is this
did not go through the regular pardon attorney, the pardon process.
And Biden in twenty twenty, when I interviewed him right
(11:16):
after he'd been elected, had some very harsh things to
say about the idea of Trump giving preemptive pardons to
his family members. He said, it was that a horrible precedent.
Now Trump didn't do it, Joe Biden did.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That kind of sums it up, doesn't It kind of
sums up yesterday. Things couldn't have ended darker for Joe Biden.
Things couldn't have begun brighter for Donald Trump. I'm gonna
end with what I hope is a long remembered, historic
(11:51):
inaugural quote.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage
such a historic political comeback. But as you see today
here I am the American people have spoken. I stand
(12:23):
before you now as proof that you should never believe
that something is impossible.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
To do in America. The impossible is what we do best. Amen,
And that just sounds up the day for this Tuesday.
The twenty first of January twenty twenty five, or everybody
luck alone. I'm not joking.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That was just complete, little for lacious. It was racist.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yes, miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot,
and we'll miss you. It's your morning Show with Michael Delchurno.
