Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, it is inauguration day. And if you
missed President Trump taking the oath giving a speech. Somebody
who did not miss it is Ryan Schuling, who fruses
little took us off this morning trying to get into Now, Ryan,
where were you because obviously they moved the swearing in
indoors and where did you end up watching the inauguration?
(00:22):
Tell me how all that changed.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Bro I actually was able to weather the element shells,
so to speak. And nobody that's inside Capital One Arena
right now is faint of heart. It was four hours
minimum wait in line because when I got there at
about five twenty am steering time, well three twenty am
mountain time, there was already a gaggle of people, several hundred.
(00:47):
I would say that we're in line in front of
me that had spent the night outside camping out in
sub twenty degree temperatures. I know it's older than that
in Denver right now, but you stand there, You're winding
through like you're waiting for a ride at Disney World,
and four hours does not go very quickly. And finally
we made it through security into the arena. There are
(01:08):
twenty thousand strong here right now, as I speak to
Charlie kirk Is on the stage, we are waiting the
arrival of newly inaugurated Vice President Lady Vance on, the
forty seventh president the United States, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What was the mood like as you were waiting in
line with all of these other people, excited, freezing, Tell
me about that part of it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's just people that are really committed, obviously, do that
kind of wait to that kind of line in that
kind of weather. I had a chance to interview a
fascinating a sixteen year old from Long Island and he
has never voted obviously, but he has followed Donald Trump.
He said she was eight years old. He was at
the defeat that Donald Trump had was Hillary Clinton way
(01:56):
back when somehow this young matter remembers that he is right.
He is very well spoken, articulate, and just a fascinating
young man with a very mixed ethnic background, very big
fan of Donald Trump. And he gave me about a
three minute interview that I think was posted either on
Tailway's website or on social media. I just met a
young man like that gave me hope for the future.
(02:18):
I got to tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Now, you were inside the Capital One Center with all
of these other people. What was the moment like when
Trump did the oath of office, So I'm guessing they
had that on the big screen.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
What is that? Was that correct?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
They had it up on the big screen so you
guys could watch.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Absolutely right. There is a big screen monitor here, much
like you would encounter at Ballerina. For those of it,
you would have been to Nuggets or Avalanche Casus is
where the Capitals and the Wizards play formerly known as
the Bullets, and it set up much like that. We
were given tickets to get in that were for a
particular section, but not specific sheets. So you went to
(02:59):
the section you got that seemed you could everybody gathered
in here. I think we leave to be out of
the cold. But the energy was off the charts. And
when they would show Donald Trump on the big screen
when he would introduced her shat Boat White House, that
everybody got to their feet hearing, kind of encouraging one another.
(03:20):
And certainly, like you said, when he took the ark
of office, it was absolutely electric in here. It's unlike
many atmospheres I've ever seen. And I call the red
links on the family cup in person at Tamers Arena.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now I'm not a detroiter, but even I know how
significant that is. For you to compare it to that,
it's a pretty big deal. So, uh, you know, let's
talk a little bit about Trump's speech, because I'm guessing
there were so many applause lines that you probably missed
parts of it because boy howdy, did he just come
in scorched to earth and essentially say, whatever just happened
(03:55):
in the last four years, we're doing the opposite.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I mean, is that how he came across it? Did?
It was his red meat of a speech as you'll
ever hear an inauguration address, But I think it fit
the moment and it definitely fits. You know, Donald Trump
won for many reasons, and I think one of those
was his authenticity and his very raw, visceral style of politics,
(04:18):
and the brawler in him came out. The people in
this arena responded to that. It was It was everything
they wanted to hear, and like you said, he did
not pull back, not one bit. I'll not say that
I was surprised either, And he wanted to give the
people I think that supported him, that voted for him,
you know, encouraged her that he was going to do
(04:39):
what he said he was going to do, you know, promises,
They promised that sort of thing, and he confirmed that
after he addressed several other gathered attendees that were outside
of the rotunda. So he's gone from the rotunda to
that group. He just signed a few executive orders. There's
a resolute desk set up here Mandy with a chair
and the friend eventual seal. But I believe he has
(05:01):
scheduled to sign some more executive orders here in the
arena in front of the people assembled, and they're just
having a series of speakers now, I think while the
new forty seventh president gets lunch and then he'll come
to the arena with that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So let me ask you specifically, were there any parts
of that speech to got a louder response or anything
that you thought stood out as particularly noteworthy to the
crowd that you're with.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, you're hearing the chance of USA right now here
as Charlie Kirk finished his speaker for Donald Trump. It
was certainly anything to do with the border, and kind
of interestingly when he said there was only two genders
and that's how it was going to be in the
federal government. They're going to hand all the hiring based
on gender or race. And I'm going to say this, Mandy,
(05:54):
I you've noticed a lot of diverse attendees here today.
He thinks blacks and Hispanics typically in his feet. There
are a lot of Easian participants here as well, and
they're as enthusiastic as anybody. So those are really the
biggest line that got the biggest reaction.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is I mean, you know, I think that even and
you know the polling data as well as I do, Ryan,
it crosses party affiliation that now. And I think that
we all have to credit Ron de Santas for this
and Greg Abbott for this, that all of a sudden,
people across the country are going, wait a minute, we
can't have all this illegal immigration coming across the border.
So I think that is a great place to sort
(06:33):
of start, because that issue, even for people who want
to you know, like tick tick their tongues or whatever
and try to act like it's the wrong thing, they're
secretly grateful because too many communities are facing too many
issues because of the influx of people. So that doesn't
surprise me at all. I will ask this question, was
there any conversation among the people that were there about
(06:55):
the pardons that Joe Biden issued on his way out
the door. Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
In fact, we were in line waiting when the announced
parts of Fauci came down in general Milly and added
it over very well with those that were in line
to attend this event. And then while we were in
the arena we got notification that's basically Joe Biden had
part in this entire family. And I think that with
this confirmation what everybody here suspected and what Donald Trump
(07:23):
was alleging for so many years of the Biden family
enriched themselves with nefarious business deals overseas, using Joe Biden's
posision of power and influence as a senator, as Vice president,
even as president to gain a fortune for the family.
So I think it's telling. I think it's damning. I
think it's incriminating. I think it's pathetic, and I, like
(07:45):
just about everybody in this arena, I think would say
the same.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, I think it does put some bed any notion
that Joe Biden is just a nice old man, you know,
and that he was just you know, he's just a
great fellow of high character. I think there's no way
you can make that argument. Now, if he had just
pardoned Fauci and Millie and left his family out of it, maybe,
but no, this was such a naked abuse of power
(08:09):
to protect his family who have been doing shady stuff
for decades. We really should feel sorry for them, Ryan,
because their grift is officially over. There's no way to
trade on the Biden name anymore. Joe Biden is never
going to have any impact on anything ever again, and
these people are going to have to get real jobs. Ryan,
Perhaps we should worry about that great point.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And I think Joe Biden is going to disappear more
quickly and more completely than any president we've seen in
modern history. In leading Jenny Carter. Nobody the Democratic Party
wants him anywhere near them more their campaign, anybody that's
running for president in twenty twenty eight, they were not
going to want Joe Biden around. And I think the
important thing to remember is the timing of the pardon
(08:50):
for his family members. It was the very last work thinking.
It was literally in the last hours, even minutes of
his presidency, and I think of that says a lot
as well.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Amen to that, my friend. One last question before I
let you go, what were the thoughts on Malaney is
there's a new sheriff in town.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Hat. I got two visages from people comparing it to
something out of the Good, the Bad, and the ugly,
the Clint Eastwood type. Get up there, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And make my what I said.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I found it was more along the lines perhaps of
like a princess. Diana was very classy. I think people
received it well. But yeah, I think it was definitely
an outfit intent.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yes, she said a message, and it just remains me
seeing what that message is. All right, Ryan, go have fun.
We'll chat when you get back. Or you going to
any balls tonight? What are you doing tonight? Because that's
what all the fun happens.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I might crash a couple. I know John Faber, Victoria
and I had joked and we were going to get
the orange and powder blue tuxes from Dumb and Dummer
and maybe Selta fo Ryan Lloyd in one of these.
But that's a TVD. I haven't listen today. That's been
a problem, and I'm starving. But I'm trying to get
to the East Coast seafood and our own Rob Dawson
(10:11):
has helped me, I think direct me the right way
on that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, well, be here for rob gifts. Terrible directions I
know from experience. Anyway, good to talk to you man,
Have fun, Ryan, and stay warm.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Thanks many.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
All right, that's Ryan shuling. We'll be right back after
this
All right, guys, it is inauguration day. And if you

(00:47):
I would say that we're in line in front of
me that had spent the night outside camping out in
sub twenty degree temperatures. I know it's older than that
in Denver right now, but you stand there, You're winding
