Speaker 1 (00:01):
To night. Michael Brown joins me. Here's the director show host,
Michael Brown. No, Brownie, you're doing a heck of a
job the situation with Michael Brown. You're a political experts
On six thirty K how Denver's talk station.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There is only fifty five minutes of democracy left. Democracy
ends in fifty five minutes in counting. I'm John Caldera
in for Michael Brown in the rotunda of the Capitol.
Gather Washington and America's elite to watch the swearing in.
(00:44):
So we've got former Presidents w Bush, Clinton, Obama, Vice
Presidents Quail and Pence. Amazing that Pence.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Decided to show up. No Missus Obama.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Interestingly, although w and his wife Barbara are there, and
Clinton and Hillary are there, what I find most fascinating
are the people who silenced Trump a year ago, I
should say four years ago after January sixth, are right
(01:17):
there standing behind Trump today. I'm talking about Bezos and.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Zuckerberg and Jim Cook from Apple. It's wild to see
that these people.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Who actively closed down communication from him are now there
and giving a million.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Dollars each to the festivities.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Fortunately, we have our own Ryan Schuling, who somehow will
be standing next to the President in the rotunda. I
don't know how you manage that position.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Ryan. It is INCREDI.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Sitible that I'm watching you on these live feeds.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
What an ace journalist you are.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Especially with the wardrobe choice I made this morning, John,
you can maybe see it on AOA. They put it
out there. I'm rather casually attired. Always say I got
my red, white and blue USA cap on and my
very ostentatious American flag sweatshirt. That doesn't stand out in
(02:27):
this crowd because so many people have so many wild
costumes on at Capitol One Arena, But it's a festive atmosphere.
We can see everything you're seeing on the monitor you're
inside the arena on the JumboTron here, and it's pretty
close to full, John, Since last I spoke with you,
they filled up the lower two levels, including mine. I'm
in the two hundred level, and the three hundred level,
(02:50):
which is the highest, is beginning to fill into. I
anticipate by the time Donald Trump makes his way over
here that this arena will be completely packed.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That is going to be an exciting thing to happen.
And you think about it, if there was going to
be you know what, A quarter million people watching the
inauguration in the cold, and now you're would be one
of twenty thousand seeing the president live. So a small
fraction of that of that crowd. It's pretty pretty amazing.
(03:26):
I was very disappointed that you did not actually get
into the rotunda. I mean, I'm seeing all these If
RFK Junior and Jeff Bezos could get in, why couldn't
Ryan Schuling.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Everyone wants to know, Well, they.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Have a lot more money, power and influence than I do.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
As much all I doubt that.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
But I gotta tell you I'm on the front lines here, John.
A very interesting development though that I don't think I
was able to get to you last time. They have
a kind of smaller makeshift resolute desk set up on
the stage here within the arena. My guest is that
when President Trump is sworn in and makes his way
over here, he's really looking forward to that. By the way,
(04:06):
according to reports, he is going to sign his first
executive orders at that desk in front of the twenty
thousand people assembled here. And I got to tell you too, John,
I'll send you a screenshot of this. There is a
tremendous amount of fake news media, as Donald Trump would
call him, lined up for the back of the arena.
(04:27):
So when you come to let's say Ball Arena for
a concert, then you look to where the performer is
on stage, they'll say Bruce Springsteen, whoever. On the other end,
you got all the technical crew, the production that is
where all of this media is assembled. And I got
to tell you, John, it's like one, two, three, four,
five roads deep. It's about thirty forty yards across, just
(04:50):
swarming with mostly television types. So they're anticipating there will
be news made here after the swearing in, and I
believe that there will be.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What an incredible This is the showmanship of Trump that
I don't I don't think people get to sign executive
orders in front of this crowd of his fans is
really really amazing. Just what a great sense of showmanship
(05:22):
to do it at all, or excuse me, at the
Capital One arena. What I've usually seen in past swearing
in is that the president gets sworn in, gives a speech,
he hangs out while the former president gets on board
a helicopter. Then he goes and sits down and signs
a bunch of stuff kind of quietly so that you
(05:46):
can say he's already signed these executive orders. Trump is
going to do it in front of twenty thousand people
instead of some side room at the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Very very smart.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, I don't think you would have it any other way, hey, John,
to your point, I mean, he's the ultimate showman, if
you like him or not, he knows how to put
on a presentation like this, and it's for his people. John.
The people that are in this arena, they are the diehards.
These are the people who are at the Madison Square
Garden rally. I was talking to many of them in line.
They're from all over the country. There's even a few
(06:19):
I've met from Canada. I don't know why they're here,
but welcome to them. And I hope Pierre Poliev takes
over sooner rather than later up there. But this atmosphere
is electric. In fact, every time a dignitary was shown
on the screen, there was a reaction, a cheer or
a boo for Mike Pence, or a robust cheer for
Vivek Ramaswami or Tulsey Gabbard or RFK Junior. So this
(06:41):
crowd is plugged in. They are ready, and you could
see on the monitors. If you're watching at home, everybody
kind of filing. And I did note that it was awkward.
It was weird watching Barack Obama walk in solo. I
don't know what point Michelle Obama is trying to make,
but I think it's beneath the dignity of the First
Lady and that Bozi and how she might present it.
(07:01):
And she's making a spectacle of herself. And poorl Burrox
he's standing there, Johnny walks in, He's here be shown up.
But it just it looks awkward when all the other
former first couples walk in side by side.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, in all fairness, go back four years ago, there
was one particular president who did not show up to
Biden's inaugural, and that was Trump himself, So you know
it was it was Pence who.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Showed up four years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And give the man credit. Pence again four years today
showing up and that's I gotta say, that's impressive. I
know a lot of people don't like Mike Pence, but
I gotta say that's that's a class thing to do.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
On the other side of that, I agree with you.
I was rather surprised that Mike Pence would want to
be a part of this, but he did. I think
it's more about respect for the office, his love for
this country. And I agree with you, by the way,
going back four years, even if President Trump can tested
the results of the election, whatever his premise was, for
the sake of the country, for the sake of moving forward,
(08:13):
I thought he owed it to the country to be
at whatever the inauguration. He wasn't going to do it.
He was very stubborn about it. And I don't like
it when it happens in either direction. I like to
have this diesel transfer of power and that everybody's participating in.
And for the most part today John, that's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It is telling for me to see, like right now,
I see Zuckerberg, Bezos, Bezos's new trophy wife.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
To see.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Cook from Apple, and of course Elon doesn't surprise me
being there. But to see these same people who declared
war on this man four years ago, who deplatformed this guy,
they de platformed him.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Here's a dan Quail is coming in with his with
his wife, we believe Maryland. Here comes Mike Pence coming
into the rotunda. Now you know how amazing, How just
amazing that that these titans of industry are now sitting
(09:29):
behind Trump. Why do you think that is what what
changed in four years?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That's a key point, John, and I think a very
important one, because they see the winds of change are
blowing and they want to be on the right side
of history. They want to be the right side of
this administration. They know that Trump has a strong following
a basis supporters, and I thinks Zuckerberg's credit he has
realized that many of his users are are big Trump
(09:56):
fans themselves. In fact, I would say a higher percentage
of Facebook users are Trump supporters than even are on X.
And not only that, I think that there was something
that happened, and Zuckerberg referred to it on that day
in Butler, Pennsylvania, when Donald Trump defiantly stood up and
Ye'll fight, fight Fight, Zuckerberg was interviewed about that. It
(10:16):
really struck a chord with him. He wanted to meet
with President Trump, So did Bezos. To your point, so
did Cook. And I think these titans of industry, as
you put it, and very well so they have to
know that a Trump economy is coming and it's going
to be much better. I mean, I think by any
objective measure for them, for their prospects, for their innovation,
and they they didn't know four years.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Ago that a that a coming socialist president was bad
for them, or I think it might just be this.
They saw the change in the winds and it was
it was adapt or die time for them. I think
Bill Clinton and Hillary have just entered the real Tunda
(11:00):
and now George w and his wife are coming in.
All of them looking pretty good. All of them looking
pretty good, George Bush losing some.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Hair on top.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I wouldn't know what that feels like, but I gotta say,
what a remarkable, what a remarkable thing to have them
all together and looking so jovial. I know that Clinton
and Bush the elder, and I think Bush the younger
(11:36):
have become.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Pretty good acquaintances, if not friends.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And I have a feeling Barack Obama will be joining
the party by himself, which says quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Ahead of you. Yeah, so he's walking in in real
time what you're seeing, John, We just saw him walk in,
Barack Obama, and you might imagine there was a very
negative reaction and reception for him here at Capitol One Arena,
with all the Trump supporters assembled. But I'm curious to
see whether the bromance continues that we saw at the
Jimmy Carter funeral where Donald Trump and Barack Obama were
(12:12):
yucking it up and having a good time. And I
guess why Michelle's away. Barack can feel tree to be
friends with the Orange Man.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, isn't it funny? Brouck His hair has gotten a
little grayer. The other two presidents have obviously changed. Clinton
looks a bit more gaunt after I think he had
a heart attack. Bush just looks a little older. The
hair is going down, He's got a little bit more
around the middle. But you know, right now, I'm looking
(12:41):
at a picture of the past three presidents standing in line,
and it just I believe an image like that is important.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
It shows, it shows.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The the power of a smooth transition. And that's just wild.
The Supreme Court justices have now all filed in.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I love that they all wear different the ladies wear
different outfits. How funny.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
What I would note too, John, to build on your
point the former presidents and how they have aged. And
it's natural and it takes its course, but that the
aging that takes place just over the four years, or
in the case of both Clinton and w and Obama,
even the eight years that they're in office. It takes
its toll on a man or a woman in that office.
And for Donald Trump, honestly, John, I don't see it.
(13:40):
I don't know what this man is made of. He is,
We're pretty much invincible when it comes to the physical
limitations that might bestow him. And you see it in
the toll that it took just in four years on
Joe Biden. But here's President Trump back, ready, able, willing
to take on four more years of this. And I
don't know that he any worse for the wear, with
(14:01):
everything he's been through. And it really says a lot
about just his constitution and the steel of his spine.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I think it says more about the remarkable power of McDonald's,
Hamburger's and diet coke. I think maybe when you when
you put that much preservatives in your system, you end
up preserving yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
But it is true.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
He he doesn't seem to age much given how much
pressure over the last ten years the Trump has been under.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
And I'll say the same thing about Barrock Brock does not. Yeah,
he looks as healthy as before.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
He certainly does. And the noted difference though, is if
you look at the twenty seventeen presidential portrait of Donald Trump,
he's smiling. It's a brighter photo, and the one that
they released much more resembles, quite frankly, his mugshot, and
it's a very serious, stern face. It's like a before
and after, and we might see a much different approach
(15:04):
in Trump two point zero for his presidency coming up
over these next four years that we saw in the first.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Flour The Trump's family is coming in, including his ten
foot three inch tall son Baron.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Can he believe how tall he is?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
John, Yeah, it's really really pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're also seeing that.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
The first wife, the first lady, and the second gentleman
I get lost on all these are going to be
escorted in pretty soon as well. Clinton's looking pretty good.
I wonder about security during something like this. I've looked
out in the rotunda. I see our Senator John Hickenlooper,
(15:55):
I see Tim Cook from Apple from Apple. I mean,
if there was one place where security is uppermost, it
is things like this in the State of the Union address.
I just I can't imagine the lockdown around the Capitol
right now.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I could speak to that personally, John, because they
had it for us as well, even though we're more
on the perimeter with the arena and the waiting in line.
But the DC police I got to stay for their part,
were very friendly, very helpful. They were up really early
with us. You know, I was standing in line, as
I mentioned, at five twenty am Eastern times, so that
would have been three twenty am there in the Mountain
(16:33):
time zone. It was pretty dark, it was very cold.
People were in good spirits though. We were all cooperating
trying to figure this out. Because John, there wasn't really
a specific process that was identified. Who's going to get
into the arena. Did you need a special pass? Did
you have to have a previous ticket? The answer all
of that was no, you just had to be patient,
wait in the line. I waited my four hours. They
had one security thoroughfare checkpoint. You're going through metal detectors,
(16:58):
and they were very stern I think about what they
were allowing in. No purses were allowed in for women,
so that created some problems in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But well it's about time who asquality.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But yeah, once we got through that, security checkpoint. Everything's
walled off John and they're guiding you, and there's police.
I'm talking every ten feet there's an officer, and you're
lining up. You're going around the arena to the front
entrance where we went inside, and then from there again
very specific, orderly presentation of where you're supposed to go
(17:35):
within the arena. So it was no small task getting
in here. But those that did get in I know, well,
they're very glad that they did and they're a lot
warmer for the experience.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
So for those who might not be able to see it.
In the rotunda, there is.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Oh i'll put it. I'll say the stage.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
In the middle of the stage is the presidential lectern
and on that stage are former residents, family, the new Cabinet,
uh and uh you know, justices of the Supreme Court.
And then facing the stage where we'll call the audience.
(18:15):
Looks like mostly representatives and senators in this space. So
all in all, relatively small spot incomes. Who's who's coming
in next?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
They have this curtain that opens up at the big
reveal as as as people come in.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So it's Jill Biden and m Hoff So pretty pretty incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Getting getting hugs from the Clintons. You wonder how much
how much they all, you know, some of them truly
just each other and some of them truly like each other.
You can tell the between between Clintons and Bushes. They
they've built up a certain understanding. There's no animosity there
(19:13):
any longer. And I think we're listening to some live
music there, Jesse. Let us know when we need to
we need to run Ryan, any of final thoughts as
as you're reporting this live from Capital One.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, just real quick, a historic moment with the divided
nature of the rotunda, the close to twenty thousand now
inside Capital One Arena watching it live on the jumbo
tron awaiting the president to be sworn in to come
over here, and again I mentioned that kind of makeshift
resolute desk where he will sign his first executive orders
for all to see. He'll likely have some words for
(19:50):
the crowd here too, so I'll be reporting on that later.
Jimmy Segeberger is filling in for me as a host,
and I'll be calling into my own program there as
well as for Dan Kaplis. So appreciate the time with
you this morning, though.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
John, Ryan, I can't tell you how much I appreciate
you waiting in line and doing all.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
That tough work so that you could draw a picture
for us. Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Give us a call three oh three seven, one three
eight two five five seven to one three talk. I'm
John Caldera inver Michael Brown, keep.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It right here. You're on six thirty K.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
How we were promised by the man who is now
walking into the rotunda that that should should Trump win,
democracy would be extinguished. I wish I could tell you
the name of the opera singer who's singing America, Uh beautiful.
(20:47):
The president is walking in with Vice President Harris. He's
walking in under his own power.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Go figure that an amazing sight.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
To see all these incredible, incredible shakers and movers and
the smooth transfer of power, something we did not witness
four years ago. Former presidents that are still alive, from
(21:22):
Barack Obama to Clinton. Did George w are there? Vice
President's Quail and Mike Pence are there walking towards the rotunda.
Now is jd Vance. His wife is already standing behind
(21:46):
the lectern. A remarkable amount of pomp and circumstance. You
didn't see the painting of signing of the Constitution in
(22:10):
the rotunda. Really really pretty amazing day. What is easily
the greatest comeback in American political history.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And what still strikes me.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So is that behind the presidential lecturn are the people
and the titans of industry who used their machinery against
Donald Trump are there right behind him in complete compitulation.
(22:52):
I mean complete compitulation.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You've got.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You've got the guy guys like Zuckenberg who was at
open war, who canceled the.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
President's ability to use his Facebook page.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
John Thune, my Majority leader, coming in with Chuck Schumer,
a Minority leader of the Senate, followed by the Speaker
of the House and Minority Leader of the House coming in.
Really pretty pretty amazing to see. I this is the
(23:38):
kind of stuff you see you see at the State
of the Union address. Donald Trump is walking in to
the Capitol right now, shots of Capital I center where
his where his fans, including Ryan Schuling or enjoying this
(24:04):
view coming in. What a what a way to cap
off a comeback to power. The former and future First
Lady Milania Trump being escorted by a marine into the rotunda.
She's wearing this very sharp hat, one of the few
(24:27):
women actually wearing a hat in the whole event, standing
next to Baron her Son. What I love about this
picture is Baron is at least eleven feet tall, it seems,
and right behind Baron has got to be the shortest
woman in this in this gathering, that poor woman is
(24:47):
not going to see anything but the back of this
tall man in front of him.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Secretary the Honorable Robert Duncan.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh, all right, so we've got.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
We've got twenty three minutes, twenty two minutes until the
transfer of power. It is, it is satisfying.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
And Vice President of the United States, the Honorable Kamala
David Harris.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Here comes the President.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
The last time he'll be hearing that music as president.
They open up the curtain, Biden and Harris walking in.
The two who are both defeated this year, one who
had a step aside and one who was humiliated.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
At the President left. The Executive Director for the Joint
Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, mister Michael Wagner, Senate Deputy
Sergeant at Arms and doorkeeper Jason Bell, and House Deputy
Sergeant at Arms mister Sean Keating.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
They're all gathering they're all waiting. It is.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It is as close to royalty as we get in
this country. And I'm glad, I'm glad we don't have.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
We don't have, gentlemen, the vice president, King of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And here he comes, JD. Vance kdi Vance making his way.
He will be sworn in before the President. Just a remarkable,
(27:11):
remarkable day.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm still flabbergasted.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
That the people who destroyed Trump four years ago, who
took away his direct line of communication to the people,
ban him from brand, ban him from Facebook, ban him
from Twitter, the CEOs of those companies now behind the
(27:46):
man on the stage as he gets sworn in. In
complete vindication, I mean complete vindication. To see these platform owners,
to see Bezos, to see Tim Cook. It's really, it
(28:10):
really is an amazing thing. What in a humiliation ceremonies
elbe When President Trump started truth social he had to
build his own way to communicate directly to people who
wanted to listen to him. And now today those services
(28:35):
that banned him Facebook and Twitter now called X.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Have him back on it. Really, it really is a testament.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
To the wildly unique way, the wildly unique way the
President has been able to come back into power to
find showmanship as as a method of politics. Here come
(29:15):
the leaders of the legislative branch. Speaker and the House Leader,
Majority Leader, Minority Leader of the Senate are coming in.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So you've got You've got the whole, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
The President's elect of the United States, the Honorable Donald
John Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Donald Trump is making his way to the Wintunda. People
in Capital one Arena.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Staring at the screen much like I am, much like
millions are.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
David, I've got to say I could never have predicted
four years ago something I could just never have predicted
this comeback. Resident's shaking hands with Christy Nomas. He walks
(30:34):
onto the stage, trying to find his way underneath that
incredible hat that Milannia is wearing to get a peck
on her cheek.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
He is standing side by side with President Biden.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You can hear the Chance of USA standing beside jd Vance. Now,
what we are hearing on live on radio is a
few minutes or a few seconds ahead of time from
(31:17):
what I'm seeing on the.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Ap wire, pressfeed, video feed.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Seeing people through the Capitol are in different spots watching
it on monitors tell you what We're gonna take a
quick breather so we can come back and bring you
this as it happens in for Michael Brown. I'm John
(31:53):
Caldera on one of the most incredible days of American history.
To see a comeback of.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
A once humiliated Donald Trump working his magic to come
back into power, unlike anything we have ever seen.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Let's keep it right here. You're on six point thirty
k jow. All right, so we get an idea. Well,
when the swearing game will comes, we'll let you know.
I'm sure there'll be some prayers and some other things.
The most stunning thing for me is, of course, the
symbolic transfer of power, and the transfer of power happens.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Whether or not.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
The former presidents show up, whether or not the justices
show up.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Whether or not.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Things go smoothly today. But the part that really speaks
to me is how many of Trump's opponents, not just
direct opponents, the people that he's had to campaign against,
including Obama and Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
There are three people he has taken on so coming
up after Obama, although he was not directly elected, directly
campaigning against Obama, Hillary Clinton is there who has been
(33:36):
defeated by him. Biden is there who has been defeated
by him, and they have to sit there now.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
They don't have to Trump himself didn't show up to
Biden's inaugural. That wasn't a surprise. This is but what
really speaks.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Volumes for me, Parmes, I'm stumbling with this are the
people who actively in the private sector canceled the man,
canceled him. You cannot use Facebook to talk to your followers.
Keep in mind, after January sixth, the President Trump was
(34:26):
still president for several more weeks. Twitter canceled his direct
line of communication to the people by banning him. Same
with Facebook, and therefore only the media could could get
(34:46):
the message out if he had something to say, if
and only if they decided to let that out. And
now four years later, the man who has been canceled
is going to become the most powerful man on the
planet again. This gives me hope for the multitude of
(35:10):
people who have been canceled by the politically correct and
the woke, those people who have lost their jobs, those
people who have lost their college educations, those people who've
been hassled and sent to hr for refusing to properly
gender someone at work, perhaps they will also be uncanceled
(35:35):
the way that Trump is. I know there's a lot
of hero worship that goes around with Trump. I don't
like it, I don't agree with it, but I have
got to say his reinstatement is a sign that America
(35:58):
has had enough of this woke silliness. America has had
enough of the lawlessness on our streets, the disregard for
our borders.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
And the deterioration of our wealth. That is what's exciting.
Now getting to the prayer part of.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
This this event, you can probably bring a little bit
of that up if you don't mind.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Under God, humbled by our claim that in God we trust,
gather indeed this inauguration day to pray for our President,
Donald J. Trump, his family, his advisors, his cabinet, his aspirations,
his vice president, for the large blessings upon wilsh Biden,
(37:02):
for our men and women in uniform, for each other
whose hopes are stoked this new year, this inauguration day
we cannot air and relying upon that prayer from the.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Bible, remarkably all right, we're gonna take a quick breather again.

job the situation with Michael Brown. You're a political experts
On six thirty K how Denver's talk station.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There is only fifty five minutes of democracy left. Democracy
ends in fifty five minutes in counting. I'm John Caldera
in for Michael Brown in the rotunda of the Capitol.
Gather Washington and America's elite to watch the swearing in.
(00:44):
So we've got former Presidents w Bush, Clinton, Obama, Vice
Presidents Quail and Pence. Amazing that Pence.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Decided to show up. No Missus Obama.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Interestingly, although w and his wife Barbara are there, and
Clinton and Hillary are there, what I find most fascinating
are the people who silenced Trump a year ago, I
should say four years ago after January sixth, are right
(01:17):
there standing behind Trump today. I'm talking about Bezos and.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Zuckerberg and Jim Cook from Apple. It's wild to see
that these people.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Who actively closed down communication from him are now there
and giving a million.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Dollars each to the festivities.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Fortunately, we have our own Ryan Schuling, who somehow will
be standing next to the President in the rotunda. I
don't know how you manage that position.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Ryan. It is INCREDI.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Sitible that I'm watching you on these live feeds.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
What an ace journalist you are.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Especially with the wardrobe choice I made this morning, John,
you can maybe see it on AOA. They put it
out there. I'm rather casually attired. Always say I got
my red, white and blue USA cap on and my
very ostentatious American flag sweatshirt. That doesn't stand out in
(02:27):
this crowd because so many people have so many wild
costumes on at Capitol One Arena, But it's a festive atmosphere.
We can see everything you're seeing on the monitor you're
inside the arena on the JumboTron here, and it's pretty
close to full, John, Since last I spoke with you,
they filled up the lower two levels, including mine. I'm
in the two hundred level, and the three hundred level,
(02:50):
which is the highest, is beginning to fill into. I
anticipate by the time Donald Trump makes his way over
here that this arena will be completely packed.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That is going to be an exciting thing to happen.
And you think about it, if there was going to
be you know what, A quarter million people watching the
inauguration in the cold, and now you're would be one
of twenty thousand seeing the president live. So a small
fraction of that of that crowd. It's pretty pretty amazing.
(03:26):
I was very disappointed that you did not actually get
into the rotunda. I mean, I'm seeing all these If
RFK Junior and Jeff Bezos could get in, why couldn't
Ryan Schuling.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Everyone wants to know, Well, they.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Have a lot more money, power and influence than I do.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
As much all I doubt that.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
But I gotta tell you I'm on the front lines here, John.
A very interesting development though that I don't think I
was able to get to you last time. They have
a kind of smaller makeshift resolute desk set up on
the stage here within the arena. My guest is that
when President Trump is sworn in and makes his way
over here, he's really looking forward to that. By the way,
(04:06):
according to reports, he is going to sign his first
executive orders at that desk in front of the twenty
thousand people assembled here. And I got to tell you too, John,
I'll send you a screenshot of this. There is a
tremendous amount of fake news media, as Donald Trump would
call him, lined up for the back of the arena.
(04:27):
So when you come to let's say Ball Arena for
a concert, then you look to where the performer is
on stage, they'll say Bruce Springsteen, whoever. On the other end,
you got all the technical crew, the production that is
where all of this media is assembled. And I got
to tell you, John, it's like one, two, three, four,
five roads deep. It's about thirty forty yards across, just
(04:50):
swarming with mostly television types. So they're anticipating there will
be news made here after the swearing in, and I
believe that there will be.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What an incredible This is the showmanship of Trump that
I don't I don't think people get to sign executive
orders in front of this crowd of his fans is
really really amazing. Just what a great sense of showmanship
(05:22):
to do it at all, or excuse me, at the
Capital One arena. What I've usually seen in past swearing
in is that the president gets sworn in, gives a speech,
he hangs out while the former president gets on board
a helicopter. Then he goes and sits down and signs
a bunch of stuff kind of quietly so that you
(05:46):
can say he's already signed these executive orders. Trump is
going to do it in front of twenty thousand people
instead of some side room at the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Very very smart.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, I don't think you would have it any other way, hey, John,
to your point, I mean, he's the ultimate showman, if
you like him or not, he knows how to put
on a presentation like this, and it's for his people. John.
The people that are in this arena, they are the diehards.
These are the people who are at the Madison Square
Garden rally. I was talking to many of them in line.
They're from all over the country. There's even a few
(06:19):
I've met from Canada. I don't know why they're here,
but welcome to them. And I hope Pierre Poliev takes
over sooner rather than later up there. But this atmosphere
is electric. In fact, every time a dignitary was shown
on the screen, there was a reaction, a cheer or
a boo for Mike Pence, or a robust cheer for
Vivek Ramaswami or Tulsey Gabbard or RFK Junior. So this
(06:41):
crowd is plugged in. They are ready, and you could
see on the monitors. If you're watching at home, everybody
kind of filing. And I did note that it was awkward.
It was weird watching Barack Obama walk in solo. I
don't know what point Michelle Obama is trying to make,
but I think it's beneath the dignity of the First
Lady and that Bozi and how she might present it.
(07:01):
And she's making a spectacle of herself. And poorl Burrox
he's standing there, Johnny walks in, He's here be shown up.
But it just it looks awkward when all the other
former first couples walk in side by side.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, in all fairness, go back four years ago, there
was one particular president who did not show up to
Biden's inaugural, and that was Trump himself, So you know
it was it was Pence who.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Showed up four years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And give the man credit. Pence again four years today
showing up and that's I gotta say, that's impressive. I
know a lot of people don't like Mike Pence, but
I gotta say that's that's a class thing to do.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
On the other side of that, I agree with you.
I was rather surprised that Mike Pence would want to
be a part of this, but he did. I think
it's more about respect for the office, his love for
this country. And I agree with you, by the way,
going back four years, even if President Trump can tested
the results of the election, whatever his premise was, for
the sake of the country, for the sake of moving forward,
(08:13):
I thought he owed it to the country to be
at whatever the inauguration. He wasn't going to do it.
He was very stubborn about it. And I don't like
it when it happens in either direction. I like to
have this diesel transfer of power and that everybody's participating in.
And for the most part today John, that's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It is telling for me to see, like right now,
I see Zuckerberg, Bezos, Bezos's new trophy wife.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
To see.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Cook from Apple, and of course Elon doesn't surprise me
being there. But to see these same people who declared
war on this man four years ago, who deplatformed this guy,
they de platformed him.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Here's a dan Quail is coming in with his with
his wife, we believe Maryland. Here comes Mike Pence coming
into the rotunda. Now you know how amazing, How just
amazing that that these titans of industry are now sitting
(09:29):
behind Trump. Why do you think that is what what
changed in four years?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That's a key point, John, and I think a very
important one, because they see the winds of change are
blowing and they want to be on the right side
of history. They want to be the right side of
this administration. They know that Trump has a strong following
a basis supporters, and I thinks Zuckerberg's credit he has
realized that many of his users are are big Trump
(09:56):
fans themselves. In fact, I would say a higher percentage
of Facebook users are Trump supporters than even are on X.
And not only that, I think that there was something
that happened, and Zuckerberg referred to it on that day
in Butler, Pennsylvania, when Donald Trump defiantly stood up and
Ye'll fight, fight Fight, Zuckerberg was interviewed about that. It
(10:16):
really struck a chord with him. He wanted to meet
with President Trump, So did Bezos. To your point, so
did Cook. And I think these titans of industry, as
you put it, and very well so they have to
know that a Trump economy is coming and it's going
to be much better. I mean, I think by any
objective measure for them, for their prospects, for their innovation,
and they they didn't know four years.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Ago that a that a coming socialist president was bad
for them, or I think it might just be this.
They saw the change in the winds and it was
it was adapt or die time for them. I think
Bill Clinton and Hillary have just entered the real Tunda
(11:00):
and now George w and his wife are coming in.
All of them looking pretty good. All of them looking
pretty good, George Bush losing some.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Hair on top.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I wouldn't know what that feels like, but I gotta say,
what a remarkable, what a remarkable thing to have them
all together and looking so jovial. I know that Clinton
and Bush the elder, and I think Bush the younger
(11:36):
have become.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Pretty good acquaintances, if not friends.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And I have a feeling Barack Obama will be joining
the party by himself, which says quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Ahead of you. Yeah, so he's walking in in real
time what you're seeing, John, We just saw him walk in,
Barack Obama, and you might imagine there was a very
negative reaction and reception for him here at Capitol One Arena,
with all the Trump supporters assembled. But I'm curious to
see whether the bromance continues that we saw at the
Jimmy Carter funeral where Donald Trump and Barack Obama were
(12:12):
yucking it up and having a good time. And I
guess why Michelle's away. Barack can feel tree to be
friends with the Orange Man.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, isn't it funny? Brouck His hair has gotten a
little grayer. The other two presidents have obviously changed. Clinton
looks a bit more gaunt after I think he had
a heart attack. Bush just looks a little older. The
hair is going down, He's got a little bit more
around the middle. But you know, right now, I'm looking
(12:41):
at a picture of the past three presidents standing in line,
and it just I believe an image like that is important.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
It shows, it shows.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The the power of a smooth transition. And that's just wild.
The Supreme Court justices have now all filed in.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I love that they all wear different the ladies wear
different outfits. How funny.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
What I would note too, John, to build on your
point the former presidents and how they have aged. And
it's natural and it takes its course, but that the
aging that takes place just over the four years, or
in the case of both Clinton and w and Obama,
even the eight years that they're in office. It takes
its toll on a man or a woman in that office.
And for Donald Trump, honestly, John, I don't see it.
(13:40):
I don't know what this man is made of. He is,
We're pretty much invincible when it comes to the physical
limitations that might bestow him. And you see it in
the toll that it took just in four years on
Joe Biden. But here's President Trump back, ready, able, willing
to take on four more years of this. And I
don't know that he any worse for the wear, with
(14:01):
everything he's been through. And it really says a lot
about just his constitution and the steel of his spine.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I think it says more about the remarkable power of McDonald's,
Hamburger's and diet coke. I think maybe when you when
you put that much preservatives in your system, you end
up preserving yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
But it is true.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
He he doesn't seem to age much given how much
pressure over the last ten years the Trump has been under.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
And I'll say the same thing about Barrock Brock does not. Yeah,
he looks as healthy as before.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
He certainly does. And the noted difference though, is if
you look at the twenty seventeen presidential portrait of Donald Trump,
he's smiling. It's a brighter photo, and the one that
they released much more resembles, quite frankly, his mugshot, and
it's a very serious, stern face. It's like a before
and after, and we might see a much different approach
(15:04):
in Trump two point zero for his presidency coming up
over these next four years that we saw in the first.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Flour The Trump's family is coming in, including his ten
foot three inch tall son Baron.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Can he believe how tall he is?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
John, Yeah, it's really really pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're also seeing that.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
The first wife, the first lady, and the second gentleman
I get lost on all these are going to be
escorted in pretty soon as well. Clinton's looking pretty good.
I wonder about security during something like this. I've looked
out in the rotunda. I see our Senator John Hickenlooper,
(15:55):
I see Tim Cook from Apple from Apple. I mean,
if there was one place where security is uppermost, it
is things like this in the State of the Union address.
I just I can't imagine the lockdown around the Capitol
right now.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I could speak to that personally, John, because they
had it for us as well, even though we're more
on the perimeter with the arena and the waiting in line.
But the DC police I got to stay for their part,
were very friendly, very helpful. They were up really early
with us. You know, I was standing in line, as
I mentioned, at five twenty am Eastern times, so that
would have been three twenty am there in the Mountain
(16:33):
time zone. It was pretty dark, it was very cold.
People were in good spirits though. We were all cooperating
trying to figure this out. Because John, there wasn't really
a specific process that was identified. Who's going to get
into the arena. Did you need a special pass? Did
you have to have a previous ticket? The answer all
of that was no, you just had to be patient,
wait in the line. I waited my four hours. They
had one security thoroughfare checkpoint. You're going through metal detectors,
(16:58):
and they were very stern I think about what they
were allowing in. No purses were allowed in for women,
so that created some problems in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But well it's about time who asquality.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But yeah, once we got through that, security checkpoint. Everything's
walled off John and they're guiding you, and there's police.
I'm talking every ten feet there's an officer, and you're
lining up. You're going around the arena to the front
entrance where we went inside, and then from there again
very specific, orderly presentation of where you're supposed to go
(17:35):
within the arena. So it was no small task getting
in here. But those that did get in I know, well,
they're very glad that they did and they're a lot
warmer for the experience.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
So for those who might not be able to see it.
In the rotunda, there is.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Oh i'll put it. I'll say the stage.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
In the middle of the stage is the presidential lectern
and on that stage are former residents, family, the new Cabinet,
uh and uh you know, justices of the Supreme Court.
And then facing the stage where we'll call the audience.
(18:15):
Looks like mostly representatives and senators in this space. So
all in all, relatively small spot incomes. Who's who's coming
in next?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
They have this curtain that opens up at the big
reveal as as as people come in.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So it's Jill Biden and m Hoff So pretty pretty incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Getting getting hugs from the Clintons. You wonder how much
how much they all, you know, some of them truly
just each other and some of them truly like each other.
You can tell the between between Clintons and Bushes. They
they've built up a certain understanding. There's no animosity there
(19:13):
any longer. And I think we're listening to some live
music there, Jesse. Let us know when we need to
we need to run Ryan, any of final thoughts as
as you're reporting this live from Capital One.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, just real quick, a historic moment with the divided
nature of the rotunda, the close to twenty thousand now
inside Capital One Arena watching it live on the jumbo
tron awaiting the president to be sworn in to come
over here, and again I mentioned that kind of makeshift
resolute desk where he will sign his first executive orders
for all to see. He'll likely have some words for
(19:50):
the crowd here too, so I'll be reporting on that later.
Jimmy Segeberger is filling in for me as a host,
and I'll be calling into my own program there as
well as for Dan Kaplis. So appreciate the time with
you this morning, though.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
John, Ryan, I can't tell you how much I appreciate
you waiting in line and doing all.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
That tough work so that you could draw a picture
for us. Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Give us a call three oh three seven, one three
eight two five five seven to one three talk. I'm
John Caldera inver Michael Brown, keep.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It right here. You're on six thirty K.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
How we were promised by the man who is now
walking into the rotunda that that should should Trump win,
democracy would be extinguished. I wish I could tell you
the name of the opera singer who's singing America, Uh beautiful.
(20:47):
The president is walking in with Vice President Harris. He's
walking in under his own power.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Go figure that an amazing sight.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
To see all these incredible, incredible shakers and movers and
the smooth transfer of power, something we did not witness
four years ago. Former presidents that are still alive, from
(21:22):
Barack Obama to Clinton. Did George w are there? Vice
President's Quail and Mike Pence are there walking towards the rotunda.
Now is jd Vance. His wife is already standing behind
(21:46):
the lectern. A remarkable amount of pomp and circumstance. You
didn't see the painting of signing of the Constitution in
(22:10):
the rotunda. Really really pretty amazing day. What is easily
the greatest comeback in American political history.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
And what still strikes me.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So is that behind the presidential lecturn are the people
and the titans of industry who used their machinery against
Donald Trump are there right behind him in complete compitulation.
(22:52):
I mean complete compitulation.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You've got.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You've got the guy guys like Zuckenberg who was at
open war, who canceled the.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
President's ability to use his Facebook page.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
John Thune, my Majority leader, coming in with Chuck Schumer,
a Minority leader of the Senate, followed by the Speaker
of the House and Minority Leader of the House coming in.
Really pretty pretty amazing to see. I this is the
(23:38):
kind of stuff you see you see at the State
of the Union address. Donald Trump is walking in to
the Capitol right now, shots of Capital I center where
his where his fans, including Ryan Schuling or enjoying this
(24:04):
view coming in. What a what a way to cap
off a comeback to power. The former and future First
Lady Milania Trump being escorted by a marine into the rotunda.
She's wearing this very sharp hat, one of the few
(24:27):
women actually wearing a hat in the whole event, standing
next to Baron her Son. What I love about this
picture is Baron is at least eleven feet tall, it seems,
and right behind Baron has got to be the shortest
woman in this in this gathering, that poor woman is
(24:47):
not going to see anything but the back of this
tall man in front of him.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Secretary the Honorable Robert Duncan.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh, all right, so we've got.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
We've got twenty three minutes, twenty two minutes until the
transfer of power. It is, it is satisfying.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
And Vice President of the United States, the Honorable Kamala
David Harris.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Here comes the President.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
The last time he'll be hearing that music as president.
They open up the curtain, Biden and Harris walking in.
The two who are both defeated this year, one who
had a step aside and one who was humiliated.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
At the President left. The Executive Director for the Joint
Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, mister Michael Wagner, Senate Deputy
Sergeant at Arms and doorkeeper Jason Bell, and House Deputy
Sergeant at Arms mister Sean Keating.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
They're all gathering they're all waiting. It is.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
It is as close to royalty as we get in
this country. And I'm glad, I'm glad we don't have.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
We don't have, gentlemen, the vice president, King of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And here he comes, JD. Vance kdi Vance making his way.
He will be sworn in before the President. Just a remarkable,
(27:11):
remarkable day.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm still flabbergasted.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
That the people who destroyed Trump four years ago, who
took away his direct line of communication to the people,
ban him from brand, ban him from Facebook, ban him
from Twitter, the CEOs of those companies now behind the
(27:46):
man on the stage as he gets sworn in. In
complete vindication, I mean complete vindication. To see these platform owners,
to see Bezos, to see Tim Cook. It's really, it
(28:10):
really is an amazing thing. What in a humiliation ceremonies
elbe When President Trump started truth social he had to
build his own way to communicate directly to people who
wanted to listen to him. And now today those services
(28:35):
that banned him Facebook and Twitter now called X.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Have him back on it. Really, it really is a testament.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
To the wildly unique way, the wildly unique way the
President has been able to come back into power to
find showmanship as as a method of politics. Here come
(29:15):
the leaders of the legislative branch. Speaker and the House Leader,
Majority Leader, Minority Leader of the Senate are coming in.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So you've got You've got the whole, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
The President's elect of the United States, the Honorable Donald
John Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Donald Trump is making his way to the Wintunda. People
in Capital one Arena.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Staring at the screen much like I am, much like
millions are.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
David, I've got to say I could never have predicted
four years ago something I could just never have predicted
this comeback. Resident's shaking hands with Christy Nomas. He walks
(30:34):
onto the stage, trying to find his way underneath that
incredible hat that Milannia is wearing to get a peck
on her cheek.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
He is standing side by side with President Biden.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You can hear the Chance of USA standing beside jd Vance. Now,
what we are hearing on live on radio is a
few minutes or a few seconds ahead of time from
(31:17):
what I'm seeing on the.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Ap wire, pressfeed, video feed.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Seeing people through the Capitol are in different spots watching
it on monitors tell you what We're gonna take a
quick breather so we can come back and bring you
this as it happens in for Michael Brown. I'm John
(31:53):
Caldera on one of the most incredible days of American history.
To see a comeback of.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
A once humiliated Donald Trump working his magic to come
back into power, unlike anything we have ever seen.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Let's keep it right here. You're on six point thirty
k jow. All right, so we get an idea. Well,
when the swearing game will comes, we'll let you know.
I'm sure there'll be some prayers and some other things.
The most stunning thing for me is, of course, the
symbolic transfer of power, and the transfer of power happens.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Whether or not.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
The former presidents show up, whether or not the justices
show up.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Whether or not.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Things go smoothly today. But the part that really speaks
to me is how many of Trump's opponents, not just
direct opponents, the people that he's had to campaign against,
including Obama and Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
There are three people he has taken on so coming
up after Obama, although he was not directly elected, directly
campaigning against Obama, Hillary Clinton is there who has been
(33:36):
defeated by him. Biden is there who has been defeated
by him, and they have to sit there now.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
They don't have to Trump himself didn't show up to
Biden's inaugural. That wasn't a surprise. This is but what
really speaks.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Volumes for me, Parmes, I'm stumbling with this are the
people who actively in the private sector canceled the man,
canceled him. You cannot use Facebook to talk to your followers.
Keep in mind, after January sixth, the President Trump was
(34:26):
still president for several more weeks. Twitter canceled his direct
line of communication to the people by banning him. Same
with Facebook, and therefore only the media could could get
(34:46):
the message out if he had something to say, if
and only if they decided to let that out. And
now four years later, the man who has been canceled
is going to become the most powerful man on the
planet again. This gives me hope for the multitude of
(35:10):
people who have been canceled by the politically correct and
the woke, those people who have lost their jobs, those
people who have lost their college educations, those people who've
been hassled and sent to hr for refusing to properly
gender someone at work, perhaps they will also be uncanceled
(35:35):
the way that Trump is. I know there's a lot
of hero worship that goes around with Trump. I don't
like it, I don't agree with it, but I have
got to say his reinstatement is a sign that America
(35:58):
has had enough of this woke silliness. America has had
enough of the lawlessness on our streets, the disregard for
our borders.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
And the deterioration of our wealth. That is what's exciting.
Now getting to the prayer part of.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
This this event, you can probably bring a little bit
of that up if you don't mind.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Under God, humbled by our claim that in God we trust,
gather indeed this inauguration day to pray for our President,
Donald J. Trump, his family, his advisors, his cabinet, his aspirations,
his vice president, for the large blessings upon wilsh Biden,
(37:02):
for our men and women in uniform, for each other
whose hopes are stoked this new year, this inauguration day
we cannot air and relying upon that prayer from the.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Bible, remarkably all right, we're gonna take a quick breather again.
