Speaker 2 (02:19):
Trad. My friend to the ad.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
The Cabinet has been seated, the Supreme Court justices have
been seated, and the ceremonies will begin in a matter
of minutes. We have established the inaugural Sheila Jackson Lee
Award for the person trying hardest and most awkwardly to

(03:00):
get camera time today. Your submissions are welcome, whether you
are watching live or whether you watch later. Today. Baron
just entered. Look at about seven foot five inches tall.
My goodness, that kid grew up. He grew up? Is
he ever tall? And does he? Is he ever a

(03:23):
spitting image of his father at that age? It is striking,
absolutely striking. But your submissions, we will choose by the evening.
Show your submissions, and we will announce again tomorrow your
submissions for the first annual the Inaugural Sheila Jackson Lee
Award for the person trying the hardest and most awkwardly

(03:46):
to get camera time today. And we will look forward
to what you happen to notice from what is going on,
there was there was an awkward moment for Jake Tapper ramon.
I don't know if you see the audio at six
oh eight, the tech bros Zuckerberg, biso's sunder PITCHAI from

(04:10):
Google Elon. They're all there, and Jake Tapper has decided
it's very dangerous that they control all of the data.
They control all of the information. He's very, very upset
about this wasn't ever upset before They were at the
inaugural church service for President Trump. And listen to Jake

(04:30):
Tapper's melt down live on air.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, if I could just say, before I throw out
to Anderson, just bring back that photograph of the tech
bros inside Saint John's Church. It's just one other thing
I want to show. So we see Mark Zuckerberg on
the left there with the curly hair, come to CEO
of Meta, Tim Cook, his face is blacked vias the
white hair CEO of Apple Jeff Bezos on the right,
there the ball gentlemen looking to his right CEO of Amazon.
The gentleman behind Mark Zuckerberg is Sundar Pichai. He's the

(04:56):
CEO of Google and Anderson. Between those four people plus
Elon Musk from Twitter or X, those five people that
I just mentioned, the four in the photograph and also
Elon Musk controls so much of the information that we receive.
So much is in their hands when it comes to ascertaining,

(05:20):
monitoring or refusing to monitor, monitor what is real what
is not real. And we're about to enter an era
of deep fakes and all sorts of misinformation, and the
degree to which those five gentlemen play a role or
do not play a role, will be pivotal in terms
of where the American people are four years from now,
in terms of understanding, in terms of understanding.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
What is true and what is false.

Speaker 9 (05:43):
You're also you said we not You're not just talking
about we the United States. You're talking about the world,
all human beings on the planet. They control access to information. Uh,
they are the gatekeepers in many ways to information for
the entire planet.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well, aren't they horrified? They didn't have any concern over
the influence of Google or Facebook, or when Dorsey led Twitter.
They didn't care that Hunter Biden's laptop story was prohibited
from being covered. They didn't care that the FBI was

(06:23):
shuffling over to meet with Zuckerberg literally with a list
of people US included to be slowed down or deplatformed
because we were asking questions about the clock shot, about
election integrity, about Hunter's laptop, about the Ukrainian funds these people,

(06:44):
about what happened with George Floyd. This is a very,
very bad day for the Jake Tappers and Andersen poopers.
They are scared to death that the jig is up.
CBS has a lawsuit, defamation lawsuit against them that President
Trump has brought, and the rumors coming out of their

(07:04):
internal circles are that they are going to settle that lawsuit,
which will include an admission of guilt and an apology.
CNN's already been popped. ABC has already been popped. These
folks have been up to some really, really bad things.
This is the teenager whose parents have been away, and

(07:26):
the parents are on their way back home and they
can't get the mess cleaned up quickly enough. And oh,
by the way, their classmates at the hospital because he overdosed.
They are scared to death that they can't clean this
mess up fast enough. What a glorious day. In a
matter of just a few moments, we'll have a new president.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
You're listening to Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a dolls.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Lot. We're leading by a lot, well leading in the bulls.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
Every single state looks like we're here.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Now, would you are some more?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Exactly fifteen minutes from the swearing in of the Vice President,
Senator J. D. Vance to be Vice President of the
United States, there is an intensity, an intense anticipation as
the proceedings are about to begin. Ramon, can you check in.

(08:32):
Let's drop in on Fox for just a moment and
see they're taptically, we.

Speaker 10 (08:36):
Wanted to say, and we will break when they make
another announcement, which.

Speaker 11 (08:40):
Is interesting to see the justices of the Supreme Court
come in. The Constitution does not require the Chief Justice
to administer the oath of office, but nearly since the
beginning on an actual scheduled inauguration day, it's always been
the Chief Justice. We're in the rotunda of the capital.
We have the Supreme Court there for the executive branch
transfer of power all three branches of government together.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Excellent point.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Let's watch.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Let's watch is never a good for radio. So we
will return to that at the appropriate time, but for
now it is It's interesting. This is a moment that
none of us know how many years we have left,
that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

(09:30):
And I say this often, but I will say it
again because I think it's important and because I believe
it's true. And that is that President Trump is not
one man being sworn in. He is a leader, the
leader of a movement that you created. He could not
be there by himself. He could not be there if

(09:54):
so many people across the country had not done all
the things, casting a vote, making a donation, taking someone
else to the polls, posting on social media or to
an email list about why you're voting and who you're
voting for and the reasons behind that. Speaking to your

(10:19):
Sunday school class, speaking to your men's groups, speaking to
your women's Republican groups, speaking to your Chamber of Commerce groups,
every single one of those. I am a student of
political science and history in what we do and how
we do it. It might be imperfect, it might be ugly

(10:41):
to watch, but it's a beautiful thing. And at least
in twenty twenty four and now being manifested on Inauguration
Day twenty twenty five, we still have the freest, fairest
system in the world, and that's special. The world needs

(11:01):
what's happening today to happen for its security, for its inspiration.
It's a beautiful thing, it really is. I don't want
to sound corny, but I believe this, and I think
that what happened in twenty twenty and the cheated election
of Joe Biden, which I truly believe, I also truly

(11:25):
believe that the George Floyd case was determined to be
a murder when it was an overdose, and that a
lot of people know that, and I believe the truth
will come out. I also believe that the clock shot
did not prevent you getting contracting the virus, nor did

(11:49):
it prevent you from spreading it. But it did kill
a lot of people, and I think a lot of
those forces were allowed to perpetuate without being held to account.
And it is my solemn prayer only that the truth
come out. And if I'm wrong, I don't believe I am,

(12:12):
I'll say so let's check in on the inauguration which year.

Speaker 10 (12:16):
That's what Molly was talking about about getting those cabinet
members confirmed, even some of them as early as today, Steve,
I want to wait for the next announcement to come,
so we don't begin the top of it, and let's
watch for that and then I'll come to you next.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
What it's worth.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Rather than silently looking forward during the solemnity of this occasion,
Joe Biden is waving to people like the giddy little
schoolgirl that she is. I've always felt Joe Biden saw
this as her big opportunity to be the.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Best of the ball.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
And that's why Joe Biden couldn't and wouldn't step down,
is because she was enjoying, like Evita, having the people
around her to address her, having crowds to listen to her,
having media to cover her. I think she was enjoying
that moment far too much to ever let it go.

(13:23):
Baron Trump standing next to Elon Musk, standing next to
Sunder Pichai, who is the head of Google. It's going
to be an interesting time for a lot of us
who struggled against those forces like Google, who watched what
snoop Dogg said about President Trump and had a Trump
assassination in one of his videos. Now being so eager

(13:46):
to come aboard, and it's going to it's going to
create a split because there are those who are going
to say, don't forgive, don't forget, at least don't forget,
and someone will say don't forgive. But it's clearly President
Trump's approach at this point to say I want the
big tent.

Speaker 12 (14:04):
I want to get some things done at.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Least here at the beginning. All Right, our last break,
kat h will go to Fox. We'll do our own
thing on the side. But we're about to have a
new president, and I'm excited.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
Little kids.

The Armed Forces Choir now performing officially turned around guys,
along with America's tenor as jd Vance is walking through
the corridors to take the weighty office be the Vice

(15:02):
President of the United States. That will be in a
minute and a half at eleven thirty six am Eastern, so,
of course ten thirty six for those of us on CST,
and about eleven minutes later, President Trump will be sworn in,

(15:23):
and at eleven fifty three there was a change to
the time President Trump will make remarks, and then that
will end at about twelve thirty five Central.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
It would not be.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Surprised if President Trump goes along he often does. We
are about a minute from JD. Vance being sworn in,
and we will take you to that live when that happens.
He is taking his place now in America's tenor is
singing from the the Uh from the depths of his heart.

that he's watching.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
It felt like something I needed to see.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I love her hat. Melania's hat has bean past that
also shields her for having to look at anyone she
doesn't want to see. After everything's been done to her husband.
I am not oh my whispering, Sorry, Ramona said, I

Speaker 9 (23:07):
President slap Michael Berry.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
To uphold the values enshrined in our Constitution, the freedoms,
the liberties, and as is inscribed on the entrance to
the United States Supreme Court equaled.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Justine Jimmy Klobashar, who is chairing the Joint Inauguration Activities,
is speaking. There's nothing she's saying you need to hear.
So we'll go to the swearing in of the President
in just a moment. But President Biden, as his last
official act, did pardon his family members. The pardon gives

(23:52):
specific a full and unconditional pardon to James B. Biden,
Sarah Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John t Owens, and
Francis W. Biden for any nonviolent offenses against the United
States which they may have committed or taken part in
during the period from January one, twenty fourteenth, twenty fourteenth

(24:15):
through the date of this pardon. We'll have plenty of
time to talk about that later today, but for now
we go to the swearing end of President of.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Leatriship comes an obligation to stand our ground when we must,
and find common ground when we can. With everything swirling
around us, the hot mess of division. It is on
all of us to quote an incredible songwriter who just
happened to be born in my state, to ensure that

(24:44):
our nation's democracy is our shelter from the storm. There's
a reason this ceremony takes place.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
At the capitol.

Speaker 8 (24:55):
In other countries, it might be in a presidential palace
or a gilded executive office building. Here, it is traditionally
held at the Capitol, the people's house. It is a
fitting reminder of the system of checks and balances that
is the very foundation of our government, three equal branches

(25:16):
of government. That is how for nearly two hundred and
fifty years, our great American experiment, grounded in the rule
of law, has endured. So as we inaugurate a new
president and vice president, let us remember that the power
of those in this room comes from the people. The

(25:40):
construction workers who build our country, the teachers and healthcare
workers who nurture us, the troops defending our freedoms, and yes,
the firefighters in Los Angeles putting themselves on the line
for us. Our democracy's strength and grit must match theirs.

(26:13):
May God bless our nation. Thank you.

Speaker 12 (26:19):
Okay, get out of the way, and that's good talk,
good stuff, and there we go.

Speaker 13 (26:37):
Good afternoon. Endurance through the years is the ultimate test.
To persevere through time is the truest measure of an idea,
an institution, and a nation. Our founders wrote the Constitution
so that America could withstand all the twists and turns measure.

(27:03):
They wrote it to guide us and to preserve forever
our right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
But as much as the truths and principles enshrined in
our Constitution remain the same, our democracy promises the American

(27:24):
people the power to change, to chart their own destiny.
That's the beauty, that is the importance of democracy. It
allows the endurance the permanence of a nation through change.

(27:44):
It allows nations like our United States, both to avoid
the obstacles and to seize the opportunities God has placed
before us, always staying true to our found in principles.
Today is our country's sixtieth inauguration ceremony.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
You know what, anybody that wants to see that can
turn the fox. Let me just say, Let me just
say that the highlight of the day after the swearing
in of our president is going to be his signing
of executive orders immediately, and that is going to set
the tone, or that's going to set the tone for

(28:31):
the fact that this is going to be a presidency
of action, and the Democrats are going to be left
as nothing more than agents of sabotage without an agenda
other than to stop what President Trump is doing. Because
what President Trump is about to begin doing, and frankly,

(28:52):
his election has already occasioned so many good things, So
many people have self deported already the deeport, Oh, here
we go, here we go. We're about that. We're going
to walk you.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
Up to it.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
We're not going to leave you hanging. That's the difference
between television and radio, a purely audio medium, is that
with television you've got a visual. With audio. If you
do that, you're you're stuck with Well, here we go,
here it is, this is what you work.

Speaker 14 (29:27):
Be still and know that I am God, supreme among
the nations, supreme on the earth. Let us pray, remembering
General George Washington on his knees at Valley Forge, recalling
Abraham Lincoln at his second inaugural, with malice toward none,

(29:50):
with charity for all, with firmness and the right, as
God gives us to see the right, Remembering General George
Patten's instructions to US soldiers as they began the Battle
of the Bulls eight decades ago, pray, pray when fighting,
Pray alone, Pray with others. Pray by night, pray by day.

(30:11):
Observing the birthday of the Reverend Martin Luther King, who warned,
without God, our efforts turned to ashes, we blessed citizens
of this one nation under God, humbled by our claim
that in God we trust, gather indeed this inauguration day

(30:32):
to pray for our President, Donald J. Trump, his family,
his advisors, his cabinet, his aspirations, his Vice President, for
the Lord's blessings upon Joseph Biden, for our men and
women in uniform, for each other whose hopes are stoked
this new year, this inauguration day. We cannot air in

(30:56):
relying upon that prayer from the Bible upon which our
President will soon place his hand an oath, as we
make our own the supplications of King Solomon for wisdom.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
As he began his governance.

Speaker 14 (31:12):
God, of our fathers and your wisdom, you set man
to govern your creatures, to govern and holiness and justice,
to render justice with integrity. Give our leader wisdom, for
he is your servant, aware of his own weakness and
brevity of life. If wisdom, which comes not from You
be not with him, he shall be held in no esteem.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
Sin.

Speaker 14 (31:36):
Wisdom from heavens that she may be with him, that
he may know your designs. Please, God, bless America, Please mend.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Her every flaw.

Speaker 14 (31:49):
You are the God in whom we trust, who lives
and reigns forever and ever.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
Amen, mister President.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
The last four years, there are times, I'm sure you
thought it was pretty dark, but look what God has
done well. I look forward to continuing this conversation, and
I look forward to what is before our great nation.
As a result of the swearing in today and all

(32:27):
the work we did to make this happen, I am
extraordinarily proud to be an American
