Speaker 3 (00:58):
On which I'm about to interlace.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You just laugh and said, Congress, I love the innocence
of Jade. Vance's wife looks beautiful. By the way, a
turtleneck type sweater pink looks beautiful with her complexion. She's
holding their little girl, and the little girls sucking her thumb,
will not look over thumb on every other finger their

(01:20):
little band aids.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Because this is a child who likes to stick.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Her entire hand in her mouth, and they're trying.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
To just just keep to the thumb, and it is
the cutest thing.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
Must be a sign of intelligence. My daughter did the
same thing. She had fingers in her mouth first three
four years of her life.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Theresidential oath of Office.

Speaker 6 (01:38):
Now it's a President elect Trump's turn to take the
to take the oath of office. He's actually gonna be
using two Bibles.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
That doubleing down on God.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
One of them was a gift from his mother when
he graduated from.

Speaker 7 (01:55):
Please raise your right hand and the Queen after me. I,
Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.

Speaker 8 (02:02):
Hi, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute.

Speaker 9 (02:07):

Speaker 3 (02:14):
States, and will to the best of my ability.

Speaker 8 (02:17):
And will, to the best of my ability.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
The Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 8 (02:26):
The Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 10 (02:28):
So help me God, So help me God.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Congratulations specificity.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
One of the two Bibles was given to him by
his mother. Africk graduated from First Presbyterian Church Sunday School
in Jamaica, New York, back in nineteen fifty five. The
other one was the very famous Lincoln Bible that exists.
They are doing canons, why not?

Speaker 5 (02:49):
You gotta have some cannons.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Trump's I see myself in Trump and that he wants
to get out of there. He's like, all right, enough,
what time does this thing over?

Speaker 5 (02:57):
When do I get to speak? And then let's go.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
He sat down, He basically is jangling his keys.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh, absolutely, he's sat down to begin. He looks at
our jadvans.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
You can tell him.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
He's like, how long is this gonna go? Why aren't
they starting? Let's go, let's go with this. Why am
I waiting eight seconds for the welcome?

Speaker 6 (03:13):
I don't know if the weather had anything to do
with it, but they are about twenty five minutes behind schedule,
at least the official schedule that they had released, which
I can't imagine makes him very happy, because if that
is the if that is the feeling, if he definitely
wants to get out of there, he's gonna be a
few minutes behind schedule.

Speaker 11 (03:31):
Well, you know what, I think they've thrown everything off
because it was supposed to happen at eight forty seven
hour time, and they're supposed to be America. The beautiful
Carrie Underwood's singing before Trump was sworn in. Maybe she's
lived it around, she's not late.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Maybe she sings now.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Maybe she sings now. We're gonna have to carry that.
We love Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
We do have a it's only supposed to be about
six minutes between when he is sworn in and he
actually makes his inaugural address, But we don't know what's
supposed to happen in the meantime.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Do you think she's gonna sing at the arena where
everybody is that was supposed to be outside. I had
a friend go with her husband and their five kids
for a weekend in d C kind of going to
all of the you know, the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier arlingkedon all of the things to take the kids
there for the first time, and we're going to go
to the inauguration.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
What a weekend to go to d C.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I know it looked at.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Me like all her pictures, But she said that the
rally yesterday that they had tickets for people were lining
up at three am.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
There was just no way. It was snowing, it was frozen.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
They weren't going to stand in line for hours to
go to that, so they just kind of watched it
from their Airbnb or what have you. They were supposed
to go to this until they moved it indoors. And
one of the conversations is why did they move at indoors?
I mean, it's always freezing in late January and DC.
Was it the weather or was it a threat situation?

Speaker 6 (04:53):
Well, the FBI had said that they didn't have any
specific or credible threats against the inauguration, despite everybody know
knowing what time and where it was.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, everybody on Twitter disagrees with the FBI that there was.
Everybody on Twitter thinks that there was a threat, and
that's why they talked about moving it, even from the
Rotunda to the White House.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
The inauguration for Barack Obama was also very very cold.
It was in the twenties also, and the only reason
I know that I was in DC the Thursday after
Obama's inauguration, which I think took place on Tuesday of
that week and have to double check, but it was
ice cold.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I have never been so cold.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
We're walking around the Capitol or the Capitol Mall and
it was about eighteen degrees.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, and my wife and I were verifying cool, different
kind of cold. I was watching those games yesterday, the
one in Philadelphia. I'm like, oh, that looks miserable. And
the snow's coming out. It's twenty seven degrees.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Oh my god. And then the Buffalo game comes on.
It's zero degrees.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh hell no, hell no, thank you, California, give me
all the taxes.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Military choir is up. They're singing.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
Now.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
That is not Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
No, that is not, sir.

Speaker 11 (06:03):
So we have a here's a tidbit that maybe they
rushed it knowing that they were behind scheduled. But maybe
they rushed to get Trump sworn in because Biden.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
His job is over at noon, right.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
I mean that's in the constitution, whether whether he takes
the oath of office or not, he's the president.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Also, why wouldn't you just cap it off with Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
I would have her be the closer. And they may
you're right, I mean they may.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
That may be after wouldn't that be great if he said,
and God blessed the United States of America, and ladies
and gentlemen.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Here's Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Absolutely in the rotunda. She's going to sound amazing.

Speaker 11 (06:41):
I don't think they've even done the national anthem yet.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
Maybe here it is, No, maybe not, still sounds pretty.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
What is this amy? It sounds like Latin. Oh, no,
there's Christ. It's not Latin.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Listen, I've had some time off Latin. Have you ever
been to a Mass in Latin?

Speaker 8 (07:17):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (07:18):
No, it's a Catholic thing. I think. Yeah, it's very
hard to follow.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
I find the English hard to follow, but the Latin's
even harder.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Talking about Jeneral and your keys to get out of there, glory, glory, Halloween.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Well, now we got.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
It, not Latin?

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Did we have a collective?

Speaker 12 (07:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I got it right.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
At the same time, I hope they do want eagles wings?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I doubt that.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh what about one bread, one body? Can we get
a little one bread one body up in here?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I think this is as close to a church song
as you're going to get.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, Luckily we have four hours of a show. I
can get in one bread, one body in on eagles wings.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
If we sow shoes and.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
You're going to take time away from us if you do,
what do you mean to start peeling hours off of
this show?

Speaker 5 (08:13):
They're not long songs.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
I know that I appreciate that you support my faith.
Uh you mentioned that. I heard it mentioned a couple
times this morning.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
The acoustics in the rotunda for a choir like that
would be really really cool.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah, it's gonna sound great, all of it.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
You know.

Speaker 11 (08:33):
It's cool about the lead up as they're watching, they're
going through the areas before they come in. Is like
if you've been to the US Capitol.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
You go, oh god, I've been there, Like yeah, kind
of a cool it is, yes, relatable thing.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
It's one of those places.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
And when I went, I was seventeen years old, but
it had such gravitas. Oh yeah, even though I was
oh yeah, even then, just the tip of the iceberg
of my understanding of US government was just moving. It
was moving knowing everything that's gone on there. And I'm
not a politician sycophant pleasure, but it's.

Speaker 9 (09:10):
Introduced to you the forty fifth and the forty seventh
President of the United States of America Donald J.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Trump.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Oh, we're going to carry all of these remarks his
inaugural address here, and we will visit. We will revisit
when he is completed speaking and introduces Carrie Underwood or whatever.

Speaker 10 (09:51):
Okay, thank you very much, everybody.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
Well, thank you very very much.

Speaker 9 (09:58):
Vice President Van Speaker, Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts,
Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush,
President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens,

(10:27):
The golden Age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again
all over the world.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
We will be the envy of every nation, and we will.

Speaker 9 (10:48):
Not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
During every single day of the Trump administration, I will
very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed,

(11:14):
our safety will be restored, the scales of justice will
be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the
Justice Department and our government.

Speaker 7 (11:27):
Will end, and our top priority will be to create a.

Speaker 9 (11:39):
Nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon
be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before

(12:01):
our return to the presidency, confident and optimistic that we
are at the start of a thrilling new era of
national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country.
Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has
the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. But

(12:21):
first we must be honest about the challenges we face.
While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this
great momentum that the world is now witnessing. In the
United States of America, as we gather today, our government
confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, a radical
and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens,

(12:46):
while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly
incomplete disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage
even a simple crisis at home, while at the same
time stumbling into a continue doing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
It fails to protect our magnificent, law abiding American citizens,

(13:08):
but provide sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from
prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
From all over the world.

Speaker 9 (13:20):
We have a government that has given unlimited funding to
the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American
borders or, more importantly, its own people. Our country can
no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as
recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina have

(13:43):
been treated so badly, and other states who are still
suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago,
or more recently Los Angeles, where we are watching fires
still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token

(14:03):
of defense.

Speaker 8 (14:05):
They're raging through the houses.

Speaker 9 (14:07):
And communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most
powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting
here right now.

Speaker 8 (14:16):
They don't have a home any longer. That's interesting, but
we can't let this happen.

Speaker 9 (14:22):
Everyone is unable to do anything about it.

Speaker 8 (14:26):
That's going to change.

Speaker 9 (14:28):
We have a public health system that does not deliver
in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on
it than any country.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
Anywhere in the world.

Speaker 9 (14:37):
And we have an education system that teaches our children
to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate
our country despite the love that we try so desperately
to provide to them.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
All of this will change.

Speaker 9 (14:51):
Starting today, and it will change very quickly. My recent
election as a mandate to completely and totally reverse a
horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have

(15:16):
taken place, and to give the people back their faith,
their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their freedom. From this
moment on, America's decline is over. Our liberties and our

(15:43):
nation's glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we
will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
Of America's government.

Speaker 9 (15:55):
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and
challenged more than any president in our two hundred in
fifty year history, and I've learned a lot along the way.

Speaker 8 (16:05):
The journey to reclaim.

Speaker 9 (16:07):
Our republic has not been an easy one, that I
can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to take
my life just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear.

Speaker 8 (16:29):
But I felt then and.

Speaker 9 (16:30):
Believe even more so now, that my life was saved
for a reason. I was saved by God to make
America great again.

Speaker 10 (17:00):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
That is why each day.

Speaker 9 (17:12):
Under our administration of American Patriots, we will be working
to meet every crisis.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
With dignity and power and strength.

Speaker 9 (17:22):
We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety,
and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and
creed for American citizens. January twentieth, twenty twenty five is
Liberation Day. It is my hope that our recent presidential

(17:53):
election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential
election in the history of our country. As our victory showed,
the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda, with
dramatic increases in support from virtually every element of our society,
young and old, men and women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans,

(18:16):
Asian Americans, urban, suburban.

Speaker 8 (18:19):
Rural, and very importantly, we had.

Speaker 9 (18:21):
A powerful win in all seven swing states, and the
popular vote we won by millions of people.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
To the black and Hispanic communities.

Speaker 9 (18:37):
I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of
love and trust.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
That you have shown me.

Speaker 9 (18:44):
With your vote, we set records, and I will not
forget it. I've heard your voices and the campaign, and
I look forward to working with you in the years
to come. Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor.
This will be a great honor. But in his honor,
we will strive together to make his dream a reality.

(19:07):
We will make his dream come true.

Speaker 10 (19:21):
Act.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
We're listening to Donald Trump's second inaugural speech.

Speaker 9 (19:31):
You're on Cafeine, turning to America, and confidence and pride
is soaring like never before. In everything we do, my
administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence
and unrelenting success. We will not forget our country, we
will not forget our constitution, and we will not forget

(19:55):
our God.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
Can't do that.

Speaker 9 (20:09):
Today, I will sign a series of historic executive orders.
With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of
America and the revolution of common sense.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
It's all about common sense.

Speaker 9 (20:25):
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.

(20:57):
All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will
begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal
aliens back to the places from which they came. We
will reinstate my remain in Mexico policy.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
I will end the practice of catch and release, and.

Speaker 9 (21:29):
I will send troops to the southern border to repel
the disastrous invasion of our country. Under the orders I
signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as
foreign terrorist organizations, and by invoking the Alien Enemies Act

(22:09):
of seventeen ninety eight, I will direct our government to
use the full and immense power of federal and state
law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs
and criminal networks bringing devastating crime to US soil, including
our cities and inner cities. As Commander in Chief, I

(22:39):
have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from
threats and invasions, and that is exactly what I am
going to do. We will do it at a level
that nobody's ever seen before. Next, I will direct all
members of my Cabinet to marshall the vast powers at
their disposal to defeat what was inflation and rapidly bring

(23:02):
down costs and prices. The inflation crisis was caused by
massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why
today I will also declare a national energy emergency.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
We will drill, baby, drill.

Speaker 9 (23:45):
America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we
have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have.
The largest amount of oil and gas of any country
on Earth, and we are.

Speaker 8 (23:58):
Going to use it. Let me lose it.

Speaker 9 (24:04):
We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up
again right to the top, and export American energy all
over the world. We will be a rich nation again,
and it is that liquid gold under.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Our feet that will help to do it.

Speaker 9 (24:28):
With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal,
and we will revoke.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
The electric vehicle mandate.

Speaker 9 (24:35):
Saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to
our great American auto workers. In other words, you'll be
able to buy the car of your choice. We will

(24:59):
build old automobiles in America again at a rate that
nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago.
And thank you to the auto workers of our nation
for your inspiring.

Speaker 8 (25:11):
Vote of confidence.

Speaker 9 (25:12):
We did tremendously with their vote. I will immediately begin
the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers
and families. Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries,
we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.

(25:41):
For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service
to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues. It will be
massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury coming from
foreign so the American dream will soon be back and

(26:03):
thriving like never before. To restore competence and effectiveness to
our federal government, my administration will establish the brand new
Department of Government Efficiency.

Speaker 8 (26:28):
After years and years of illegal and.

Speaker 9 (26:31):
Unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also
sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship
and bring back free speech to America. Never again will

(27:02):
the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute
political opponents something I know something about. We will not
allow that to happen. It will not happen again. Under
my leadership. We will restore fair, equal and impartial justice
under the constitutional rule of law, and we are going

(27:28):
to bring law and order back to our cities. This week,
I will also end the government policy of trying to
socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public
and private life. We will forge a society that is

(27:58):
color blind and merit based. As of today, it will
henceforth be the official policy of the United States government
that there are only two genders, male and female. This week,

(28:35):
I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled
from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate.

Speaker 13 (28:43):
With full back pay.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
And I will sign in order to stop our our
warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social
experiments while on duty.

Speaker 8 (29:06):
It's going to end immediately.

Speaker 9 (29:12):
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their
soul mission defeating America's enemies. Like in twenty seventeen, we

(29:47):
will again build the strongest military of the world has
ever seen.

Speaker 8 (29:52):
We will measure our success.

Speaker 9 (29:54):
Not only by the battles we win, but also by
the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the
wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be

(30:25):
that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want
to be, a peacemaker and a unifier. I'm pleased to
say that, as of yesterday, one day before I assumed office,
the hostages in the Middle East are coming back home
to their families.

Speaker 10 (31:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (31:04):
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful,
most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration
of the entire world. A short time from now, we
are going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and we will

(31:25):
restore the name of a great President, William McKinley to
Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.
President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and

(31:49):
through talent. He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy
Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did,
including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to
the country of Panama after the United States.

Speaker 8 (32:05):
The United States I've been thinking of this, spent more
money than.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
Ever spent on a project before, and lost thirty eight
thousand lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We
have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that
should have never been made, and Panama's promised to us
has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the

(32:30):
spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American ships
are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way,
shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy.
And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal, and
we didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama,

(32:52):
and we're taking it back.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
Above all, my.

Speaker 9 (33:13):
Message to Americans today is that it is time for
us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the
vitality of history's greatest civilization. So as we liberate our nation,
we will lead it to new heights of victory and success.

Speaker 8 (33:31):
We will not be deterred.

Speaker 9 (33:32):
Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep
our children safe, healthy, and disease free. The United States
will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that
increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises
our expectations, and carries our flag into new.

Speaker 8 (33:54):
And beautiful horizons.

Speaker 9 (33:56):
And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars,
launching them American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes
on the planet Mars. Ambition is the lifeblood of a

(34:29):
great nation, and right now our nation is more.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
Ambitious than any other. There is no nation like our nation.

Speaker 9 (34:39):
Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneers. The spirit
of the frontier is written into our hearts. The call
of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls.
Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on

(35:00):
the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic
of the most extraordinary citizens on Earth. No one comes close.
Americans pushed thousands of miles through a rugged land of
untamed wilderness. They crossed desert, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers,

(35:21):
won the wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny,
lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched
mankind into the heavens, and put the universe of human
knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we
work together, there is nothing we cannot do, and no

(35:44):
dream we cannot achieve. Many people thought it was impossible
for me to stay such a historic political comeback. But
as you see today here I am the American people
have spoken.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
I stand before you now as.

Speaker 9 (36:19):
Proof that you should never believe that something is impossible
to do in America.

Speaker 8 (36:25):
The impossible is what we do best.

Speaker 9 (36:35):
From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix,
from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 8 (36:46):
Our country was forged.

Speaker 9 (36:47):
And built by the generations of patriots who gave everything
they had.

Speaker 8 (36:52):
For our rights and for our freedom.

Speaker 9 (36:55):
They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, still
workers and coal miners, police officers, and pioneers who pushed onward,
marched forward, and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or
their pride.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
Together they laid down the railroads.

Speaker 9 (37:14):
Raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two World Wars,
defeated fascism and communism in triumph over every single challenge
that they faced. After all we have been through together,
we stand on the verge of the four greatest years
in American history. With your help, we will restore America, promise,

(37:40):
and we will rebuild the nation that we love, and
we love it so much. We are one people, one family,
and one glorious nation under God. So to every parent
who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams
for their future.

Speaker 8 (37:56):
I am with you.

Speaker 9 (37:57):
I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
We are going to win like never before.

Speaker 10 (38:10):
Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 9 (38:23):
In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly, but we
are going to bring it back and make it great again,
greater than ever before. We will be a nation like
no other, full of compassion, courage, and exceptionalism. Our power
will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of
unity to a world that has been angry, violent, and

(38:46):
totally unpredictable. America will be respected again and admired again,
including by people of religion, faith, and goodwill. We will
be prosperous, we will be proud, we will be strong,
and we will win like never before. We will not
be conquered, we will not be intimidated, we will not

(39:09):
be broken, and we will not fail.

Speaker 8 (39:13):
From this day on.

Speaker 9 (39:13):
The United States of America will be a free, sovereign
and independent nation.

Speaker 8 (39:19):
We will stand bravely, we.

Speaker 9 (39:21):
Will live proudly, we will dream boldly, and nothing will
stand in our way. Because we are Americans. The futures
ours and our Golden Age has just begun. Thank you, God,
bless America. Thank you all, Thank you, thank you, thank.

Speaker 8 (39:42):
You very much.

Speaker 10 (39:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (39:47):
That is the second inaugural speech of President Donald Trump,
taking office as the forty seventh president, after being sworn
in in the Capitol rotunda.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Today measured very presidential when after Democrats right out of
the gate and the past administration, saying underneath not so
thinly veiled remarks, the world's going to respect us again.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Yeah, I mean he used some of the terms that
you would have expected, some of the things that we
have heard before. That the golden Age of America begins.
Now that's how he started.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Now he will make America first again. That will be
far more exceptional that we've been. That his life was
saved after that assassination. Attempt to make America great again.
And don't forget God, you don't want to do.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
That, Carrie can't do that. They going to do it.

Speaker 6 (40:35):
Carrie Underwood now at the podium to sing, let's bring
that up.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Wearing a light gray mock necks leaveless long dress, fitted not.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Tight, waiting for somebody to do.

Speaker 6 (40:53):
You think it's so sea length, paper clipped in the
back or clothes pit.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
I think it's tailored.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
You mean it actually fits her? Ah?

Speaker 8 (41:00):
Interesting?

Speaker 6 (41:02):
Oh, pre recording, somebody pushed play and then stopped. And no,
she's ready. She's a professional. I'm sure she'll be fine.
What is tea length?

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Tea length means like mid calf, not down to her ankles.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
But she's not doing a Sunday night fotba. No, right,
she's still waiting. Everybody's just sitting quietly, waiting for her
to start, or waiting for the.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Right song start.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Her nails look great?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Is that a rose gold beautiful diamond cuff bracelet on
long blonde hair parted to the right, light wave towards
the bottom.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
She's she's looking right to left on your radio dial.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Biden's next door. You know. Biden said yesterday in his speech, I'm.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Not going anywhere.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Not a joke.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I'm not even kidding, Like those were his words. I
think actually it wasn't not a joke. It was I'm
not kidding. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not kidding, sir.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Very.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
I saw a very uncomfortable tweet from November third. I
don't know if it's true or not. I don't I'm
not I don't follow Kamala Harris's tweet storms much like
go ahead. But November third of last year, just a
couple of days before the election, she wrote, I just
told my husband Doug that on January twenty twenty five,
he's going to have sex with or no, I'm sorry,

(42:21):
he's going to sleep with the next president of the
United States.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
For Oh, that's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I love that she's singing acapella because they couldn't get
their act together with the.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Music for per.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
Well done.

Speaker 8 (42:39):
Man just steeze.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
And everyone joins along.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
That's cool.

Speaker 12 (42:48):
Chills, gosh, wow, that's powerful.

Speaker 5 (43:07):
Biden does not remember.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
Really to shine.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
That was incredible. The music doesn't work, so she just
takes it away and everyone joins in.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
That's pretty great.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
And then it's like Disney movie stuff. The military chorus
it was there was kind of backing her. I mean,
as were the other several hundred people within the in
the Capitol rotunda there.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
But that was really cool.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Was the best case scenario.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Yeah, that's the way it works out.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Much like the Rose Parade.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Engineers matter, Gotta get those mites to work, got to
get the music tourk.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Senator Fisher will now introduce the benediction Clergy.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
So they'll wrap up things here at the Capitol Rotunda.
They will move from the platform very very soon. They're
gonna do it a farewell ceremony looks like for also
uh former President Biden and former Vice President Harris. And
then there's a couple of things, some procedural things that
happened there at the Capitol where President Trump, vice President

(44:14):
Vance go back inside, they do a signing room ceremony,
which basically it's like, hey, do you want to be president?
And he says yes, and the vice president and they
say yes. There will be some executive orders that the
b that the Trump administration has said would be signed
right away.

Speaker 14 (44:31):
Your prophet Jeremiah walked the streets of Jerusalem and blessed
its inhabitants with the Hebrew words barak hageverassem blessed.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Is we don't need to do the prayers doing trud
Back to your tweet, I just got to say, two
years later, just bring that down a little bit.

Speaker 14 (44:51):
Adopted these words as its.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Motto, Jacob, if we could just bring that down a
little bit, trust man. Going back to your uh tweet,
that's kind of the problem, not to use a celebratory
day to knock on everybody. But that's kind of the
problem with that whole mad dash campaign, isn't it. The
lack of seriousness, Like I know you said that as

(45:16):
a joke and it is funny and it's like, oh,
you'll be sleeping.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
With Trump, you know, not right, ha ha ha.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
But much like the Mark Andrews tweet of the snow's
not bothering him.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
That did not age well.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
However, it's that lack of seriousness that was the overriding
feel with that campaign, that it was just like this
Hollywood lights, camera action smiles, no substance feel to that
ninety days or whatever it was.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
And I don't.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Want someone joking, like even if it is your husband
you're talking about sleeping with, like, that's not my business, it's.

Speaker 5 (45:49):
Not funny, Like I don't know, yeah, and I don't
like it.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
I would like it if Trump said that about Malania,
I would like it about anybody in politics talking about
their sex life to me is irrelevant and I don't
want to know.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
And even if it is your team that's doing it,
like you said, whichever way it goes like, h you know,
there's time. This is not the time for you can
make jokes about that with your campaign.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
People, sure, your friends or you're just but it's not
how published it's such a weird, such a weird, weird thing.

Speaker 6 (46:22):
Again, they are wrapping up the inaugural ceremonies there in
the Capitol rotunda, benedictions from several different members of the clergy.
There is a quick farewell process that goes on with
the outgoing president and vice president, and then the incoming
president and vice president have what will be a couple
of full days ahead of them. I assume, did you

(46:44):
know that Biden is coming out here? He's going to
be in California later today. He's headed to Santa Inez
for the first few days post presidency.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
I oh, I went to Santa Inez right after my
wedding to decompress.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
I get it. It's very peaceful there.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
The central value of California is where you will go
if you want peace.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
I will say this about Biden.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Moments after he entered the rotunda the the paperwork went through,
he pardoned five members of his family in the last
minutes in office. They said that, or he said in
a statement, he did so not because they did anything wrong,
but because he feared political attacks from Trump. He said,
my family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats

(47:25):
motivated solely by a desire to hurt me, the worst
kind of partisan politics. And he says, unfortunately, I have
no reason to believe these attacks will end.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
So this action, executive action.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
After he had already stepped into the rotunda, pardoned his
brother James. James's wife Sarah Valerie, his sister, her wife
John and or her husband John. And then Francis his
brother as well.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
It's a lot.

Speaker 6 (47:53):
There was also the pardoning of Anthony Fauci and Mark
Milly and the House Committee of the January sixth Committee.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
There's a lot.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
We've wrapped up for the most part, the specific inauguration
part of what will be a long day ahead for
President Trump and Vice President Advance Inauguration Day Martin Luther.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
King Junior Holiday.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
President Trump has been sworn in as the forty seventh
president inside the US capital, taking charge. Republicans now have
unified control of Washington. About six hundred people inside the
Capitol rotunda itself for the inauguration and the speech just
a short time ago. They're wrapping it up with a
song right now, star Spangled Banner by a singer in Emphis.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
An emphasis, excuse me on common sense is going to
be the platform moving forward, which is nice.

Speaker 5 (48:42):
It's nice to hear that, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
He did talk about declaring a national emergency at the
southern border right out the gate, stopping all government censorship,
bringing back free speech. I guess that's a nod to
TikTok and what he's going to do in that regard now.
TikTok and we'll talk about it coming up. Went dark
over the week, and to the dismay of many young
people who rely solely on TikTok for their livelihood and

(49:08):
excitement and entertainment. People were very upset when they went
to TikTok and it was not there. Some people were
saying it was a kind of a panic pr move
for TikTok.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
Others say could have been.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
When I say others, I mean TikTok says, well, no,
we went dark anticipating the band would take effect, but
we turned it back on when we found out that
Trump would be acting on this right away. Dnally will
be changed back to Mount McKinley, Gulf of Mexico will
become Gulf of America. He says that China has been
operating in that we gave it to Panama, not China,
but now we're taking it back.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (49:42):
Those are just a couple of the more than two
hundred executive actions that have been predicted for today. He
said he wants to clean up the failed and corrupt
political establishment. There would be probably around fifty executive orders
which are legally binding some of them involved border security.
She mentioned domestic energy production. A senior advisor for the

(50:04):
incoming administration said that Trump plans to start signing the
orders immediately after he is inaugurated. The military escorts have
come in and they will be escorting both the president
and vice president and the now former president and vice
president out of the Capitol rotunda. Very different directions that
they are going to be headed. Again, a lot to

(50:27):
get to in terms of what the new administration has
coming up.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
There's a lot going on.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
Obviously, our fires are still a concern here in LA
that we'll get to.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
We've got a bunch and when it comes to.

Speaker 6 (50:37):
The peace deal, at least the cease fire deal that
hopefully leads to some sort of.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
A piece Nettan Yah, Who's like, not so much, right,
I'm gonna do what I.

Speaker 5 (50:48):
Want to do.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
He's definitely saying it's a temporary thing.

Speaker 5 (50:52):
Sure, I'm going to do what I want to do.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
And I want to give you a victory lot briefly,
not for the MVP trophy you did not bring home,
but that's fine. I still I accept you for who
you are. Thank you not adorned with a trophy. You're
just as important as you would be if you had
that trophy, then mays.

Speaker 6 (51:10):
The best totally. You did not sell that. Just so
you know, here's your victory lab.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
You were right when it came out the Vivek Ramaswami
and Elon Musk would be working together on this doge situation.
You said, is is there enough space for both of them?
Are they both going to be these two personalities? Are
they going Are they going to be able to work together?
Is this going to be a thing? And you are right, No,
it's not going to be a thing. The VEC is
said to be getting ready to run for Ohio governor.

(51:35):
Apparently Musk has been undercutting ramas Swami for weeks. There
has been uh disenchantment in the in the in the
tower there, so that will not be a partnership probably
moving forward.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
We'll have the latest on that as well.
