He laid it on him, man.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Just a few months ago , in a beautiful Pennsylvania
field, an assassin's bulletripped through my ear.
But I felt then, and believeeven more so now, that my life
was saved for a reason.
I was saved by God to makeAmerica great again, and I will
send troops to the southernborder to repel the disastrous

(04:34):
invasion of our country.
Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating
the cartels as foreign terroristorganizations and, by invoking

(05:16):
the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, Iwill direct our government to
use the full and immense powerof federal and state law
enforcement to eliminate thepresence of all foreign gangs
and criminal networks bringingdevastating crime to US soil,
including our cities and innercities.
I will also end the governmentpolicy of trying to socially

(05:36):
engineer race and gender intoevery aspect of public and
private life public and privatelight, we will forge a society.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm going to pause right there.
I love that.
Hate me if you want.
That's okay.
Disagree with me if you want.
Thank you, we'll continue tosocially.
We will discontinue sociallyengineering race and gender.
We'll do things based on merit.
How about that?
Based on merit.
Who cares what your race is?
Who cares what your gender is?

(06:14):
It'll be based on merit, thankyou.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's colorblind and merit-based yes.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Thank you.
Thank you, common sense.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
As of today, it will henceforth be the official
policy of the United Statesgovernment that there are only
two genders male and female.
How about that?
That there are only two genders, male and female?
How?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
about that.
Imagine the meltdowns that areabout to happen.
Imagine they.
Oh, I'm sure they already beganthe meltdowns after that

(07:02):
statement.
Listen, you got the biggestapplause right there.
You know, if you notice thatand then and then, another thing
he says in there that I reallyliked in listening to it today
was he was going to stop the.
Uh, what was it?
The electric car mandate.
Can you imagine biden sittingright there?
And you know el Elon Musk, hemakes the electric cars.
You don't hear him bitchingabout that.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
This week I will reinstate any service members
who were unjustly expelled fromour military for objecting to
the COVID vaccine mandate withfull back pain Wow.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from
being subjected to radicalpolitical theories and social
experiments while on duty.
It's going to end immediately.
Wow, okay, our armed forceswill be free to focus on their
sole mission defeating America'senemies.

(08:19):
Defeating America's enemiesLike in 2017, we will again
build the strongest military theworld has ever seen.
We will measure our success notonly by the battles we win, but
also by the wars that we endand, perhaps most importantly,

(08:39):
the wars we never get into.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Wow, just seething over there, Schumer Kamala, Joe
just seething, I think Joe'sseething.
I don't know what kind of facethat is.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Where am I?
What?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and
unifier.
That's what I want to be apeacemaker and a unifier.
I'm pleased to say that as ofyesterday one day before I
assumed office the hostages inthe Middle East are coming back
home to their families.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
That's right.
What an odd coincidence.
Now, so here's the point.
Here is the point in the speechwhere you see Schumer, you see
Hillary, you see Bill, you seeJoe trying to get up.
God bless him.

(09:42):
I'm not going to make fun ofanyone for their age'm not going
to do that.
I'm simply not.
I respect a man and a woman'sage.
I respect my elders in that way, on a human level, but he's
going to stand up and applaud.
The last one to get up you cansee it is Kamala, where I freeze
frame, freeze-framed this at8.08 in this video.
Kamala's still sitting.

(10:03):
Everyone else, even Biden, isalmost up, but Kamala's still
sitting down.
And you should still see JillBiden staring a hole through the
side of the head of Kamala,just staring a hole through it,
man.
And now she got up.
Oh my God, kamala just got upand you should see Jill Biden's

(10:26):
face glaring at her.
It's amazing.
I mean you know maybe I'mreading that wrong, but it just
looks that way.
I mean maybe she's going.
What a beautiful lady she is,what a sweetheart for sitting
there, thank you.
But what are they going to do?
Of course they're going tostand up for that, because the
hostages are coming home andthey're taking credit for it.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
America will reclaim its rightful place as the
greatest, most powerful, mostrespected nation on earth,
inspiring the awe and admirationof the entire world.
Inspiring the awe andadmiration of the entire world.
A short time from now, we aregoing to be changing the name of

(11:09):
the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulfof America and we will restore
the name.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
That one kind of cracks me up.
I don't know why, really, we'regoing to change the name of the
Pacific Ocean to the.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know, I don't know You're going to change
geographical locations WilliamMcKinley to Mount.
Mckinley where it should be andwhere it belongs.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
I agree, sir, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
President McKinley made our country very rich
through tariffs and throughtalent.
He was a natural businessmanand gave Teddy Roosevelt the
money for many of the greatthings he did, including the
Panama Canal, which hasfoolishly been given to the
country of Panama after theUnited States.

(12:02):
The United States I mean thinkof this spent more money than
ever spent on a project beforeand lost 38,000 lives in the
building of the Panama Canal.
We have been treated very badlyfrom this foolish gift that
should have never been made andPanama's promise to us has been

(12:24):
broken.
The purpose of our deal and thespirit of our treaty has been
totally violated.
American ships are beingseverely overcharged and not
treated fairly in any way, shapeor form, and that includes the
United States Navy.
And above all, china isoperating the Panama Canal and

(12:48):
we didn't give it to China, wegave it to Panama and we're
taking it back, and we willpursue our manifest destiny into
the stars, launching Americanastronauts to plant the stars
and stripes on the planet Mars.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Elon Musk two big thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
The inflation crisis was caused by massive
overspending and escalatingenergy prices, and that is why,
today, I will also declare anational energy emergency.
We will drill, baby drill,Thank you.
America will be a manufacturingnation once again, and we have

(13:52):
something that no othermanufacturing nation will ever
have the largest amount of oiland gas of any country on Earth
and we are going to use it.
We will bring prices down, fillour strategic reserves up again
right to the top and exportAmerican energy all over the

(14:17):
world.
All over the world, we will bea rich nation again, and it is
that liquid gold under our feetthat will help to do it.
With my actions today, we willend the Green New Deal and we
will revoke the electric vehiclemandate.

(14:37):
Yes, saving our oil industry andkeeping my sacred pledge.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh, the look on the faces right there of Kamala and
Joe I mean, just a look on theirfaces was priceless.
Right there you know hiselectric car mandate and here

(15:06):
Trump's going to put an end tothe electric car mandate.
Wow, so that's just a portionof what took place today in
terms of the presidential DonaldTrump inauguration speech.
Very big day for sure.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Meanwhile, today, on this Monday, Let us turn our
thoughts today to Martin LutherKing and recognize that there
are ties between us all, men andwomen living on the earth, ties
of hope and love, of sister andbrotherhood, that we are bound

(15:56):
together in our desire to seethe world become a place in
which our children can grow freeand strong.

(16:17):
We are bound and we are bound.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist,
there is a hunger in the centerof the chest, there is a passage
through the darkness and themist, and though the body sleeps
, the heart will never rest.

(16:46):
Shine a little light, oh Lord.
Shine a little light, oh Lord.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Happy Martin Luther King Day.
Just a little light, oh Lord, alittle light, oh Lord.

Speaker 6 (17:00):
Wanna A little light, oh Lord.
Wanna stand it on up, stand iton up, stand it on up, oh Lord.
Yeah, now Wanna walk it alldown.
Wanna shed a little light.
Shed a little light, oh Lord.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Take in your life.
Martin Luther King Day shed alittle light, james Taylor, so
this is a we face thedifficulties big day of speeches
of today and tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
I still have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted inthe American dream.
I have a dream that one daythis nation will rise up and
live out the true meaning of itscreed.
We hold these truths to beself-evident that all men are

(17:57):
created equal.
I have a dream that one day, onthe red hills of Georgia, the
sons of former slaves and thesons of former slave owners will

(18:20):
be able to sit down together atthe table of brotherhood.
I have a dream Martin LutherKing.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Rest in peace.
Always remember the great civilrights leader, martin Luther
King.
Some news just coming in Now,of course, the NFL playoffs.
The division round took placethis weekend.
I am devastated as my Rams werethis close.

(18:58):
Literally they were maybe oneoffensive line penalty away.
Movement on the offensive linefrom the Rams beating the Eagles
in a snowstorm yesterday.
I think at one point everyonethought the Eagles were going to
win that game.

(19:18):
Saquon went off for three hugeruns.
Don't get me started about theblatant holding play on the run
because I don't want to giveexcuses, but it's true on two of
those runs.
But that's okay.
Whatever, that's okay.
I don't take anything away fromthe Eagles, but the elements
were tough for both teams.
But I think after the long thelast one he ran, everyone

(19:39):
thought, well, that's it, it'sit.
But the next thing you know theRams, who never give up, it
looked like they were going towin.
Do you know if they hadn't havefumbled a couple of times with
that bitter cold, if big, if acouple of turnovers like that?

(19:59):
You know they had almost what?
500 yards in offense, I think,in that game in the snow they
were moving the ball so it wentfrom.
I think everyone believing theEagles just hammered it, that's
it.
That's the nail in the coffinwhen Saquon went wild on them.
But I also believe just as muchwith my heart that at the very

(20:21):
end those same people were goingoh boy, the Rams are actually
going to come back and win thisgame.
Even the announcers you heardthem say the Rams are playing to
win.
I mean they were.
I was absolutely 100, 99%certain they were going to win

(20:41):
that game at the end, so I'mvery proud of them.
People didn't expect they weregoing to do because game at the
end, so I'm very proud of them.
People didn't expect they weregoing to do it because people
don't know the team.
I knew they would be good, justif they had to be healthy.
But I'm going to say this aboutmy team as they move forward
Look out the rest of the NFL.
That team put up what?
17, was it 17 sacks in the lasttwo games.

(21:03):
No other team in the history ofthe National Football League in
the playoffs has done that, hasstrung together two games with
that many sacks.
And that's just a rookie,basically a rookie, and a
two-year player team,second-year player team.
Wait till next year.
I'm telling you now.
But Ben Johnson, there's areport now coming in that Ben

(21:25):
Johnson, there's a report nowcoming in that Ben Johnson, who
is the offensive coordinator forthe Detroit Lions, is now going
to jump ship and he is going tobecome the new head coach of
the Chicago Bears, who weredismal this year.
So that's the news coming in.
Now let's go to the Lions.
How about the Lions?
Wow, top seed in the NFC.

(21:47):
I said it on my show by the way,I'm the host of the Pat Wall
Show on KFBK and on iHeartRadio.
I said on the air, and I didn'tmean to be disparaging, it's
just the way I felt the Lionsaren't going to win the Super
Bowl.
They're the only NFC team, Ibelieve, that hasn't been in a

(22:08):
Super Bowl.
I think there have been otherswho have not won them, right?
My brother, jim, is a Vikingsfan.
There are some others too, butI don't think.
But I know I think they're theonly team that has not been in a
Super Bowl.
So you got to feel for the Lionsfans.
I know some of the countrywhose teams were not in the mix.
They were probably rooting forthe Lions, you know, because
it's been forever, and who knowshow long the Lions will be good

(22:32):
like this.
I mean, that goes for everyteam, though.
So on the other hand, you hadthe commanders, who Jaden I mean
God, jaden Daniels looksamazing.
Holy smokes, I mean.
I think this is one of the bestrookie quarterback seasons that
I have seen.
This young man is reallylooking good, and I got to

(22:54):
commend him.
The team looks good.
The team came and smacked him,boy, they smacked Detroit.
So what about this smack?
How about this whap?
Come on, they pounded them.
Detroit didn't know.
I hit them.
Talk about biting in thekneecaps.

(23:14):
Dan Campbell oh boy, man.
And I felt for Campbell.
You know, boy, that was toughpost post game for SeanVay too
Tough for both of those guys.
But congratulations to theEagles and to the Commanders

(23:35):
Over in the AFC.
Of course I did pick the Billsand they won.
They beat the Baltimore Ravens.
That game too.
That was almost like a repeatof the the Rams game and the
Eagles game, playing in the snow, very cold, two very good
quarterbacks going at it, twoguys, I guess, considered
perhaps MVP candidates this yearMark Jackson, josh Allen, they

(23:58):
look good, but in the end,buffalo, you know, buffalo goes
to the Super Bowl if I'm goingto get that monkey off their
back.
Where they win, I mean thatteam.
They lost four in a row.
That's a hard luck team, likethe Vikings, but I mean they

(24:19):
could go to the Super Bowl.
They got a legit chance of youknow they're legit.
And now they take on the KansasCity Chiefs.
They were trying to make NFLhistory and looking for a
three-peat.
I have heard from so many fansof other teams going whatever
happens not the Chiefs.
I'm sick of the Chiefs.
I heard the same thing aboutthe Patriots.
I'm sick of the Patriots.

(24:40):
That's what happens, man.
Everyone gets all envious ofyou, I get it.
It that's what happens, man.
Everyone gets all envious ofyou, I get it.
It's like, how do they keepwinning?
But they do so.
That'll be good.
This is a big rematch for thesetwo teams.
We all know the past history,including what Kansas City
scoring in like what, 13 or 15seconds or whatever it was to

(25:02):
win that game Still one of themore remarkable comebacks I've
seen.
But anyhow.
So there, you got those guys,so you got Kansas City moving on
, and that should be a good game.

(25:22):
Buffalo, kansas City andBuffalo.
So those are your last fourremaining, and Ben Johnson looks
like he's going to the Bearsand my microphone is Okay.
Here we go, try this.
So, by the way, I just want tosay this I'm finding these

(25:43):
letters.
I've been going through somestuff, sorting things and
organizing and going throughthese letters.
If I can find the other one.
I've debated forever to sharethese with anyone, but I may do
that.
If I can find the other one,tomorrow I will read these to

(26:06):
you.
You won't believe it.
I mean, you will not believethese letters.
Let's see how about this?
I'm going to get to what else?
