INAUGURATION SPECIAL LIVE! Donald Trump Becomes The 47th President | Ep 135

All right, guys, happy Inauguration Day. It's so exciting.
Everybody is excited. It is palpable.
The energy is palpable. What an absolute transformation.
If you recall or remember the inauguration of Joe Biden, I remember where I was. I was actually in Washington, D.C.
It was such a dark energy. And don't forget, it was COVID.
Everyone was wearing masks. So it almost felt like we were watching the inauguration of a communist dictator,

Chos Escu maybe, from Romania, and everything felt very performative and there was no one there. There was no excitement.
And so obviously I did not travel to DC for this because I'm pregnant, but my husband did. And we were living in DC for that inauguration.
And now he's telling me just the excitement in the air, the energy, you can really just sense that America is back and that people are feeling hopeful. And that's why we are going to be live streaming this.
We're going to bring in C-SPAN. I'll cut so you guys can watch this feed and see who's entering the stage.
I think that looks like it's Kristi Noem right there. We're going to get into everyone that's there, everyone who has been snubbed.
Also should mention, honorably, obviously, that it is also MLK Day. And you can keep that feed running, Mark.
No big deal. Just keep it running the entire time.
It's MLK Day. And so people are also talking about the fact that Donald Trump is pledging to release the MLK files, MLK Jr.
files, the JFK files. We're going to learn about these assassinations.
It feels a little late, better late than never. He did promise he would do that throughout the first term.
He didn't get around to it because he said that it would cause a national emergency or presented a national security risk, which I think leads to a lot of questions. We already think that we know who assassinated both of those individuals, but it will be nice to see if there's any proof of the things that we already know.
He'll also be signing 200 plus executive orders today. It's a lot of signatures that he is going to have to give among it, saying he's going to end the birthright citizenship.
Tom Homan speaking about how they're going to get rid of all of these illegals virtually overnight. We see Laura Trump walking in right now.
By the way, they just had the ride together, Joe Biden, to the Capitol, Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a limousine together. Very strange.
I think it's just very strange. I just wonder what they spoke about, what they're saying to one another.
I wonder if Joe Biden is online, so to speak, if he's drugged. Right now we are seeing that's Mark Zuckerberg standing next to his wife, and they are standing next to, it looks like, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk.
I have a lot to say about that, actually. And, oh, I see the Perlmutter, you might not be familiar with them, Ike Perlmutter.
He was on the board of Disney for a long time, and his wife, Lori Perlmutter. One of the questions that people are asking, now this day actually began at church and there were a lot of these tech CEOs there.
And a lot of people are asking, is this the right message to send to America? And I'm gonna say right away, I'm on team no, particularly when it comes to Mark Zuckerberg. I am very annoyed by his presence.
And I know that so many people are agreeing with this. It just feels that you can just buy your way into Trump's inner circle.
And no one deserves that less than Mark Zuckerberg. I mean, everything that we have endured, the early Trump supporters, getting kicked off of Facebook, getting demonetized, being called Russian bots, being told that we are racist, that we are sexist, being told that we're anti-vax.
Like Mark Zuckerberg had so much power. And yes, he has recently been giving interviews about, oh, I was being pressured by Joe Biden.
No, this began before Joe Biden assumed office. Okay.
Facebook was a part of the monstrosity of lies, of censoring Trump supporters while Trump was in office the first time. So I just don't really accept that he made absolutely no sacrifices.
He said nothing while Trump was running against Kamala Harris. I think he gave one interview when Trump survived an assassination attempt that said something nice about him.
But other than that, he was just waiting to see who got power, who went into power. And then he said, well, you know, I've got so much money that I will be able to afford to stand next to Trump.
And I think this is a critical mistake. I think Trump made the wrong move here in doing that.
We will show you. It looks like we have all the Supreme Court justices walking in.
There's Neil Gorsuch and there's Brett Kavanaugh. It just I don't know.
I think it sends the wrong message to allow people to buy a literal seat at the table. I'm, of course, comfortable with Trump taking meetings with him.
We had heard that he was taking meetings with Mark Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago. Of course, if you can thaw that relationship, you want it to be better for conservatives on these platforms.
But to be standing next to you on Inauguration Day, that should be seen as an honor, not something that you should buy. So I was not pleased about that.
I think we do have a screenshot, by the way, if we want to just jump over to that photo of them earlier at the church. They arrived at St.
John's Church at 6.08 a.m. this morning.
Okay, pause right here. Melania Trump, I'm obsessed with her.
I just want to say that very clearly. Look at this outfit that she is wearing.
If you guys are listening to this in audio, then just find it. She is just perfection in the way that she delivers every time she dresses.
And it boggles the mind that you forget how severely bullied were Trump supporters. Well, even his wife, they said, we're not going to dress her when they first assumed office.
Remember, you had Marc Jacobs came out. We refused to dress this woman because she's a fascist dictator.
You had Jason Wu, Jack Posen, Tom Ford all came out and refused to dress plausibly the classiest first lady that America has ever had. And what I love about her is she's never wearing their brands anyways.
It looks like she's wearing John Vito Rossi heels there and that hat. The fact that Melania Trump is trying to bring back hat culture, America, please pick it up.
She is throwing it down. Please pick up what she is throwing down.
You have Usha Vance and JD Vance that were seated next to them. Barron Trump towering over everyone.
He seems like he's just fantastic. Obviously, Melania has kept him very close to her chest throughout all of these years and really protected him.
And he seems to be stepping into his own. But at this church, like I said, you had Elon Musk, who has become something of a Mar-a-Lago groupie.
I don't know how I feel about that. You had Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
I'm not as bothered by that. I don't know if you guys agree with me.
And you can cut back to the feed so they can keep watching what's happening live. I don't know if you guys agree with me about Jeff Bezos, but he's the billionaire that bothers me the least.

I don't know why that is.

It's weird.

I think because his story just registers more true to me.

Like he was this nerdy techie guy.

And then he hit it big with Amazon,

made tons of money,

and then decided that he wanted to go live out

all of his nerd fantasies.

And like he left his wife

and didn't even fight her in court.

She's like, I want half.

It's going to be the biggest divorce settlement ever.

He's like, I want half. It's going to be the biggest divorce settlement ever.
He's like, yeah, I have more money than I could possibly spend. Take everything and didn't fight her.
Gave her everything and then goes and dates a blow up doll. I don't know.
I just find that to be like an 80s relatable story. And he doesn't seem to be over inserting himself.
There we have Ivanka Trump walking in right now, by the way. I'm'm just gonna speak through the things that are happening in case people are on audio.
Ivanka Trump is walking in, similarly wearing a hat. I'm glad we're bringing back that culture.
Behind her is Tiffany Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump. So all the children are walking in at this moment at the US Capitol.
I am unsure of who is leading them, actually. If you know Mark, just let me know in my ear.
I am not sure. And Barron bringing up the back.
But yeah, I think Jeff Bezos, he's been friends for a while now with Ivanka and Jared, and I don't think he over inserts himself. I think he really is just spending the rest of his money and enjoying his life.
And I will say, talk about did make somewhat of a sacrifice before this, why it doesn't feel as grifter-y as Mark Zuckerberg feels to me is because Jeff Bezos notoriously took so much flack for having published that piece. He owns the Washington Post.
He never really transformed the Washington Post beliefs. They were always left-leaning.
But when ahead of the election, he said, we are not going to endorse a candidate. And he stopped the editorial staff from endorsing Kamala Harris and then published an op ed explaining his position about how they're not taken seriously.
I took that to be a tremendous, it took a lot of humility for someone of his financial stature to do that, to humble himself and to say, we look like fools. We need to stop doing this.
And this is why nobody believes us. And so I think I gave Jeff Bezos a plus in my book.
And so yeah, it's interesting to see what kind of a message that is signaling to have Mark Zuckerberg be in this very small circle of people. I'm not fond of it, but maybe some people are.
I'll be interested to see your guys' comments on that. Also, something that is worth talking about is who was snubbed.
Okay, so last night it made the rounds. So the story broke that President Zelensky was begging to be here because, you know,

he's so busy.

Oh, there he is in his military fatigue, our welfare queen.

We got to get, we got to put a crown on his head, our welfare queen.

No one has done welfareism.

No one has been more of a welfare rat than President Zelensky.

And of course, he wants to be everywhere. Remember, he begged to be invited to the Academy Awards or was it the Grammys.
And he attended one and didn't attend the other. I got, please, let me go to the Oscars.
I'm obviously facing a very serious war and you see me wearing military fatigues all the time. Don't you believe me? and so what we are are seeing is president trump is sending a strong message that he's listening

to people about how tired we are of being involved in these overseas conflicts by simply ignoring him, just ignoring President Zelensky. And that rumor, by the way, came from Don Trump Jr.
He said he basically said, do we have the tweet from Don Trump? I don't know if it was a tweet or just a message that he sent, but that was trending last night. Yeah, here's Don Trump Jr.
on Instagram. He wrote, the funniest part is that he asked for an invite like three times unofficially, and each time got turned down.
Now he's acting like he decided not to go himself. What a weirdo.
And he was responding to Newsweek, which published a piece from Zelensky where he said, I can't come to the inauguration, especially during the war, unless President Trump invites me personally. I'm not sure it's proper to come because I know that in general, leaders are for some reason not usually invited to the inauguration of the presidents of the United States of America.
It's just so pathetic. He's so pick me.
He's like, oh, because I'm at war. Meanwhile, he did a three-hour podcast with Lex Friedman in which they were trying to make him likable to the American people, and it did not work.
So I think Trump did the right thing there. Also, here we have, there's Jared Kushner.
He's just sitting down next to Trump. Again, we have Lauren Sanchez behind him in the second row with Zuckerberg.
His wife, Jeff Bezos, looking happy. He got his blow-up doll.
His life's great. Jeff Bezos' life is just absolutely fantastic and he knows it.
But yeah, so it's interesting to see that he did not invite President Zelensky despite him begging because it would have sent the wrong message. He made the right call there.
And it's also very interesting and of note that he also he President Trump allegedly snubbed Bibi Netanyahu and i'm going to say this is a relationship to watch here is the sense that i get i get that uh and again i have no i have no insight on this so i am speaking purely just off of intuition but i get that trump made a deal with the figurative devil in terms of accepting 100 million dollars from miriam adelson uh her explicit aim to do we have him? Is he walking out right now? Are they just getting ready for him to walk out? Oh, it's Vice President Pence that is just appearing behind the curtain. Don't worry, guys, we will cut to the live feed when President Trump speaks.
He is due to speak, I think, in about 40 minutes. So we should have some time.
But we do have Vice President Pence walking out right now. And of interest, as everyone stands up and applauds him, is that his wife is missing.
So that is interesting. I do not know where Mrs.
Pence is. And I actually don't remember, was she at the funeral as well? Mark, you can maybe let me know in my ear whether or not she was at President Carter's funeral, Karen Pence.
She was. Okay, so she is noticeably absent.
And obviously this was something to watch because they had friction and Pence had announced that he was going to intend the inauguration. But he did make a little bit of a jibe when he made that announcement on Twitter because he said something about the peaceful transfer of power.
Oh, guys, stop. Hillary Clinton is walking in.
Oh, shoot. I don't want her to see me.
Can she see me? Okay, I got a duck. I don't want her to see me.
I do not want on that list. And she's with Bill Clinton.
And I will say this. There's something still likable about Bill Clinton.
I just can't. I can't hate him.
I can't. I don't know what it is.
It's because he just seems happy all the time. And we know that their relationship is not real.
And he's always been nice to everyone in their faces, whereas Hillary has been snipey and has been rude and has been dishonest and has really made herself, molded herself into such an unlikable character on the world stage. No one feels that way about Bill.
So I'm just, I'm not going to pretend to hate on Bill Clinton. It's just weird.
I don't know. Do you guys feel that? The Bill Clinton effect versus Hillary, where you see her and you're like, you know, he's just as involved.
But like, you're still kind of like, nah, okay, whatever. It's Bill Clinton.
So they have just walked in. So I was not expecting that.
I would imagine then what is going to happen now is Obama is probably going to walk in pretty soon. Oh, nope.
First, we've got the Bushes. Again, Karen Pence not being there is quite strange.
But we do have George Bush Jr. walking in.
That, of course, was to be expected. Let's see who else we have.
We can cut to this. I want to see if we're going to get Obama next and whether or not

Michelle will be there. The rumors are that she will not be there.
And that would be, again, just as notable as Karen Pence not being there. Karen Pence is sending a strong signal.
And that signal is that she does not like Trump, I would say. Karen has not forgiven him.
Okay, who is it? It's gotta be Obama, right?

That's exciting.

I don't know who's behind the curtain. Ladies and gentlemen, the 44th president of the United States, the Honorable Barack H.
Obama. Trump's boy just arrived.
Remember, they were just dapping up at President Carter's funeral. But once again, Michelle Obama is missing, guys.
This is a loud absence. This is a very loud absence.
So let's let's not pretend that we don't have something going on here, because you can't keep saying that she's just away and that she's busy. These are essentially these are events you have to be at.
There's, I'm busy. You don't have a job, right? You guys, you don't have a job.
There's no reason for Michelle Obama not to be here and also not to be at President Carter's funeral. Again, a very loud absence behind Barack Obama.
By the way, we have Dana White, absolutely love Dana White. He is a fantastic individual.
I can't believe she's not showing up. What do you guys think? Do you think that it's real? Like they're actually getting divorced? There have been some rumblings about that.
The Chief Justice of the United States, the Honorable John G. Roberts Jr., and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Our Supreme Court Justices walking out right now.

Honestly, truly, I don't know what would have happened to this country if Trump, when he was in office the first time, was not able to elect so many people to the bench. Truly, I shudder to think about what would have happened to this country.
Vivek Ramaswamy we see in the background there.

There were some rumors, by the way, which we can discuss later,

that Doge is already falling apart, that Vivek Ramaswamy was on his way out.

Trump says that's not true, that he's still a part of it,

but apparently there is already some friction in the Department of Government Efficiency.

Okay, I think it might be Trump. Hold on.

Silence.

You could drop a pin.

Oh, no music for these people can't quite make out who that is at the moment who is this again let's check the someone said that the music sounds like circus music. Yeah, I don't know about that music.

I kind of agree with you.

It is a bit carnival-y.

We all wait with bated breath.

It's got to be Trump and Melania.

Come on.

It would be too much if it wasn't. it's jill biden oh my gosh guys i'm not being funny i legit forgot about jill and joe biden like that's not normal that's just completely not normal.
I was like, yeah, we got to see Obama.

And the next, obviously, is going to be President Trump. I just completely forgot about the fact that the Bidens obviously have to be there, that Jill Biden will make an appearance.
We have the kids walking out right now. Ivanka looks fantastic.
She's always very well put together. And of course, how could I forget? Jill and Joe will have to walk out before President Trump and Melania.
See what I mean? Look, look at Bill Clinton he just looks really happy all the time I don't know just a happy old man

Barron Trump looks like he will step on Elon Musk.

Yep, he just nodded at me.

He said, yep, I will do that if I need to.

There's Kai Trump.

She's been a bit of a sensation on TikTok.

That's Don Trump Jr.'s daughter,

who seems to have come of age and is posting a lot of content about her granddad

behind the scenes which people seem to be very much enjoying.

I like if they put the shortest person and the tallest person next to each other.

That works for me. Okay, well, we can, while they're just playing music and standing, I'll just say, so yeah, so a notable absence here, obviously, is Bibi Netanyahu.
Now, these could have been rumors. They weren't confirmed.
But I think this is something to watch. There seems to be some friction.
And my prediction is Trump did a figurative deal with the devil. He took $100 million.
He's going to have to give them some insurances, some positions, whatever it is. But his personality is not going to gel well with Bibi Netanyahu's personality.
You instantly saw this this past week. Trump announces that there's going to be a ceasefire.
People wanted to have the ceasefire, applauded it. And then Bibi Netanyahu kind of gives a speech like pish posh.
It's not really a ceasefire. It's temporary.
And then we're going to get more weapons and money than ever before. He is asserting to the world that I'm still in control.
I felt Bibi Netanyahu was saying that. And so I think we're going to see a lot more about that.
We'll discuss that in a minute. Before Trump walks out, I'm going to remind you guys about Good Ranchers.

All right. Do you want to cut back into the, do we have anybody walking out at this moment? Cut back into our feed.
Oh, we're back to our drop a pin silence. And again, I forgot.
Dr. Jill Biden and Mr.
Douglas.

They're still saying doctor, guys.

I'm really sorry.

They're still saying doctor.

Oh, my God.

I didn't recognize him.

That's Doug Emhoff.

How strange that these people were just in the White House. And like if I walked into Doug at the deli, I'd be like, hey, I just walked into a random guy at the deli.
Can you pass me the ham? Like this would be if he was literally behind the counter, I wouldn't be like Doug Emhoff.

It just it just feels like we had a fake presidency. It's just so strange.
It was it was like watching a show. It was an episode of Dark Mirror.
I mean, a Black Mirror. It was super dark.
And it's so interesting that so many people around the world are watching this inauguration. I saw somebody in the chat that commented that they feel hopeful and they're watching from Africa.
They feel hopeful and they're watching from Asia because America is still seen as a beacon of light. And unfortunately, that beacon of light felt as if it was significantly darkened over these last four years as we felt the squeeze of censorship on speech, the squeeze of censorship across social media platforms.
And it was still something that we're dealing with, by the way. And we're going to talk about all of that, things that we should look forward to after we hear from President Trump, which should be happening within the next 30 minutes.
But by the way, I'm not a hater. This is probably the best that I've ever seen the fake Dr.
Jill Biden look. Like she's got to drop the doctor thing, but she looks fantastic in purple.
And I will say what I like about her, to be very clear, is the fact, wait, by the way, why is, I'm assuming Kamala's going to walk out now with Joe Biden. But what I like about her is that she hates Kamala and that she wore red to be petty on election day because we all know that Jill Biden voted for Donald Trump.
Her and Kamala positively hate each other. And I got to respect that.

Okay, I got to respect that.

I'm looking at you guys in the chat,

watching from Canada, watching from Romania.

This person says that they are watching from France,

watching from Nigeria.

This is what the American election means,

the inauguration means around the world.

I mean, fantastic.

By the way, for you guys that just throw flags,

I don't know every single flag,

so you got to write the country. Kenya is tuned in.
Okay, now I know. Now I know the Kenyan flag.
Of course, we got the UK flag, the Swedish flag being dropped. I know you guys are in there, UK.
You guys are always around. By the way, Boris Johnson was apparently in attendance at the church as well, which is a sign of some sort, even though I think he fumbled the ball when he was in office.

Argentina in the chat watching Australia, Haiti, I mean, South Africa, Switzerland.

Goodness, look at you guys.

Brazil, Poland, Hungary, Barbados and the Caribbean islands, Jamaica, Bangladesh, Ireland, India, Chile. Look at you, this is amazing.
Cameroon, Morocco, Ireland again, New Zealand, Trinidad, Taiwan. What are you doing here, Taiwan? This is freaking amazing.
I love that so much. Scotland, the Philippines, Croatia, Rwanda, Netherlands.
This is incredible.

Nicaragua.

Guys, what are you all doing here?

St. Lucia.

I would have never known that flag, St. Lucia.

Portugal is in the house.

Russia.

Yes.

Mother Russia is here.

I saw a Ukrainian flag.

Just kidding.

I didn't see a Ukrainian flag.

All right, guys, here we go.

Here we go.

Kamala is going to come out and she's going to announce that America

will officially be unburdened by what has been. Oh.

Don Jr. just nodding.
He heard me. He has me in his ear.

Ivanka, is that Candace in your ear? So weird.

Oh, it says soon first J.D. Vance will take the vice presidential oath of office.
Hello. I think we can come out this for a bit until we see somebody walking out because this just this music is kind of depressing and I'm too hyped to listen to this music.
But yes, Jill, Jill Biden, Jill, Dr. Fake Dr.
Jill does look fantastic. I have to say she really that outfit is serving her and I I don't typically like the way that she dresses.
Okay, so yeah, so I was saying is something to really watch is recognizing that those people got snubbed. And I do think we are going to instantly see that relationship get tested to Trump's relationship with Bibi Netanyahu and their fight for power, because I don't take either one of them to be people that like being told what to do.
Bibi Netanyahu is obviously a gangster. Yesterday trending on Twitter, I think partially because I was sharing images, but just the aftermath of Gaza right now.
And I can show you some of those images. People that were calling into C-SPAN were specifically asking about that.
I mean, this is Gaza. This is the response.
This is just one. Look at this.
I'm sorry. There just wasn't a tunnel and a child under all of this.
There just wasn't at all. It's a humanitarian crisis.
And Trump is not going to have to deal with this. Obviously, this happened under Biden's watch.
But this happened because of America's relationship with Israel. And it's going to be tested in a lot of ways, I think.
And so, oh, Aruba in the chat. Good to see you.
That is something that people are watching out for. Obviously, Miriam Adelson is here and in attendance, someone who I would say definitely bought herself a ticket there.
But it's going to be interesting to see. Somebody said that looks like LA.
Definitely does not look like Los Angeles. It isn't that bad.
But yeah, so that's been interesting to see that. These relationships, obviously, I've always am so keen to just imagine.
Rupert Murdoch, by the way, was also in attendance at the church. That's obviously appropriate to him being in charge of the Fox empire.
And before this, because we're dealing with the transfer of power, obviously Biden got his last minute pardons out. And would you believe, of course, you would believe that one person who he pardoned was Dr.
Fauci. They did nothing wrong, you guys.
They did nothing wrong. I see them as like a criminal syndicate, and I put Zuckerberg in that same category.
That's why I'm not pleased that he's here today. Zuckerberg censoring information, compelling Americans to put something in their body that had not been properly tested and caused a lot of problems.
None of it's okay. None of it's okay whatsoever.
Before we get to J.D. Vance taking that guys, I'm gonna tell you why my skin looks amazing and it's because of Nimi Skin Care.

Okay, let's get back into this. Oh, there she is.
There she is. Oh my God.
Okay. I'm so glad we got back into this.
It's Melania. So you guys know, I'm not a person that, you know, desperately wants to be friends with anybody.
I'm a very confident person, but I want to say this right now. I am desperate to be best friends with Melania Trump.
I just want to be the person that she calls. Look at her.
Look at her. Stop what you're doing.
Look at that hat. I just, you know what? I told you, she's got like a cat personality.
I love cats because cats don't love me. And that's how I feel my relationship with Melania is.
It's toxic, but there's a lot of love. And I just want to chase her around.
I'm like, here, here, here, Melania, here, Melania. And she's like, I don't know you.
I don't know you. I did one time, I have to brag every time I did speak with her.
I did indeed. When it was midterms, midterms of Trump's first term.
And I sat next to her in a chair and we had a conversation and she was super brilliant and she was super kind and she was whippet smart. And so I tell people that her and I are very close and we're not, it's a lie, but I'm going to go with that because I believe that you can speak certain things into existence.
And Melania, this is my best friend right now. She didn't invite me, but we are best friends.
And she is clearly getting ready to walk out. And I should have mentioned, obviously, Usha as well.
Usha Vance. People were speaking about her last night.

She was wearing Oscar de la Renta.

Please welcome the Armed Forces Chorus and America's Tenor, Christopher D. Macchio.

People are asking if Keir Starmer was invited.

No, definitely.

Keir Starmer was not invited at all.

Just that, again, not, I do not think he was going to be invited. I don't know.
Maybe he was. What'd you say, Mark? Okay.
We have it, guys. We have Joe Biden walking out with Kamala.
Joe just never looks like he knows what's going on. It looks like Kamala is speaking under her breath to him.
It is sad because you can see it in his gait. Again, like I hesitate to make fun of Joe Biden because obviously I've had a grandparent that has suffered with this.
And we've all been saying these are early onset symptoms. But the reason why we have to speak about it and not feel ashamed is because they were unabashedly ashamed in just throwing him in our faces and pretending he was president for four years.
And that's what I said. It really felt like America had become a show, a truly puppet, a puppet show.
J.D. Vance looks determined.
He is walking out now by himself. Very shortly, will take the oath of office.
I'm actually quite keen to get him on the show, by the way, flesh out his ideas, because obviously he will be considered a strong candidate for 2028. And so learning a bit more about J.D.
Vance, looking more into the future, I think would be interesting to have a discussion about him and his background and who he is. He was fantastic on Joe Rogan, and he seems well-liked.
This is, by the way, singing Christopher Macchio, Macchio, Macchio. I don't know.
Italians

in the chat, you let me know if I'm saying that right. I would say Macchio, Macchio, two C's.

Maybe he's not Italian.

Fantastic voice.

I'm not going to hit that note. Oh, America, you're calling.

Puerto Rico in the house.

I will ever answer this. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee A lot of lizards in the house today.
We got Chucky Boy Schumer. We got Mark Zuckerberg.
Mike Johnson walking with him. Listen, I'm not a fan.
I'm not a fan. Sorry.
I am very much team Thomas Massey on that. For those of you that are not aware of what is going on in Congress, I'm just not clear on why Trump is rolling around at UFC fights with Mike Johnson.
If you look at his voting record, he should be walking out with President Zelensky.

Kevin F. McCumber, Mr.
John Bessler,

Mrs. Kelly Johnson,

Mrs. Iris Weinshaw Schumer,

and Mrs. Jennifer Scalise.

A lot of you guys have been writing to me

about Chuck Schumer's wife.

And that's all I'm going to say.

There he is.

Number 45 and number 47, ladies and gentlemen.

Let's go, Trump.

Hair looking fantastic.

Lost weight.

He's like, I'm so back.

We're so back.

This is so back.

Determined again.

Finally, a person who can walk upstairs without tripping and falling up to Air Force One. He can get up there all by himself.
Let's go. Melania, my bestie.
Yeah, her and I, we went to preschool together and we just have kept in touch since, me and Mel I just I couldn't I couldn't be there because I was pregnant but she asked me to go to walk out with her yeah I actually she was between two hats I told her to wear that one it looks fantastic Melania of course she's standing with her son which I told her she could because I couldn't be there so look at like look at look at the collar on that. This is who I'm trying to be.
If you guys want to know my fashion icon is,

you're looking at her right there. Look at that.
The bun, everything. I just, I just want to be

her. I just want to be her friend so bad.
Okay, here we go. Here we go.

We are not going.

We are not going at all, guys.

Ladies and gentlemen,

escorting the president of the United States and the vice president of the United States, ranking member of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the Honorable Deb Fischer, House Democratic Leader, the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Majority Secretary, the Honorable Robert Duncan. Listen, guys.
Joe Biden can do it.

He can do these 30 steps without tripping.

You got this, Joe.

Come on.

Come on, Joe.

Jill, you know Jill right now.

Dr.

Fake Dr. Jill is just like, please, we practice this 60 times, Joseph.

60 times.

You got this.

This will be his last hail to the chief.

He has no idea where he is. Poor guy.
It's like, why are all these people clapping for me? Oh. Oh.
They're clapping because they are just so happy you are leaving office. Truly.

I respect that there is a lot of respect in this room, but truly he deserves none.

Escorting the vice president-elect, the executive director for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, Mr. Michael Wagner,

Senate Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper, Jason Bell, and House Deputy Sergeant at Arms, Mr. Sean Keating.

Let's go, America. It's happening.
Let's go, world. America is so back.

Oh, my God. Somewhere in the world, all the people who are part of this dark era, they know it's over.

They know it's over. Watching from Europe, mega, make Europe great

again. It's all starting.
The expression is. Okay, JD Vance, let's go.
Usha looks so proud and so happy.

She looks fantastic, by the way.

She also looks fantastic. How do you think him and Pence feel? I never really considered their relationship.
It's got to be weird because obviously Pence should have been a shoo-in and should have just run with Trump again, but everything got crazy with January 6th. And by the way, those will be pardons that will be issued today, as soon as he is sworn in.
That is one of the promises that Trump is making, that he will pardon all of the January 6th prisoners, as he should do, because it was clearly a setup by the feds in order to tarnish the reputation of patriots, also to make patriots fearful as we walked into what I will remember as a communist era in America. I had never seen these things that we saw for those who have been watching my show.
We just, we never saw such a squeeze on American freedoms and American speech. Escorting the president-elect, the staff director for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, Elizabeth Farah, House Sergeant-at-Arms, the Honorable William P.
McFarland, Senate Sergeant-at-Arms and doorkeeper, the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries. There's nothing honorable about Hakeem Jeffries.

And yes, I understand Trump getting behind Mike Johnson so that Hakeem Jeffries would not assume

power. The Honorable Charles E.
Schumer, ranking member of the Joint Congressional Committee on

Inaugural Ceremonies, the Honorable Deb Fischer, and chairwoman of the Joint Congressional Committee

on Inaugural Ceremonies, the Honorable Amy of the United States,

the Honorable Donald John Trump.

Yeah!

Go! The Honorable Donald John Trump. Yeah! Go for America!

Let's go!

This is why you can't bring me out.

I can't go anywhere.

Everyone's like, yeah.

I'm like, go!

We're so back!

We're so back!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Go!

You go, baby.

Yeah.

Woo!

Yes.

Yes.

Let's go, baby.

Let's go.

Not make America great.

Make the world great again.

We're coming for you, Keir Starmer.

We're coming for you, Zelensky.

We're coming for you.

Coming for the entire EU, Brussels. We know what's going on there.
We're coming for you, too. We're coming for you, Keir Starmer.
We're coming for you, Zelensky. We're coming for you.
Coming for the entire EU, Brussels. We know what's going on there.
We're coming for you too. Okay.

Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go, people. Woo! Woo! Goal!

Yes!

Woo!

USA!

USA!

USA!

Yes!

You didn't get this.

You didn't get this when Biden was knocking. Everyone was in a mask.

Everyone was scared.

The plague of communism was ascended upon the world. Oh, okay.
I got to chill. I got to chill, guys.
We're getting into this. We're getting into this.
All right, where are we? Let's go. Let's go, people.
Netherlands in the chat. Look at him.
He's like, we got to get to work right now. He said, right now, that's what he's saying in J.D.
Vance. He said, we got to get to work.
This is taking way too long. I got orders to sign.
Things to do. There's a lot of immigrants on the border right now.
Illegal immigrants. We got to get all of them right now.
Where's Tom Homan? This needs to go quickly. Quickly.
I have work to do. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Okay, let's get on with this, guys. the chairwoman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the Honorable Amy Klobuchar.
Not that honorable. If you're watching, not that honorable.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 60th presidential inauguration.
Today, President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance will take their oath of office, and

we will witness the peaceful transfer of power at the heart of our democracy. For the past year, I've chaired the inaugural ceremony committee, which includes the leadership

of Congress from both parties.

We thank the committee and capital staff and law enforcement who worked so hard over the

last year, and especially the last three days.

You've done a beautiful job, and you have shown grace under pressure. Our theme this year is our enduring democracy.
The presence of so many presidents and vice presidents here today is truly testament to that endurance. We welcome President Biden and Dr.
Biden. We welcome Vice President Harris and Doug Emmerich.
I don't ask for much. President Obama, President Clinton and Secretary Clinton, President Bush and Laura Bush, Vice President Pence, Vice President Quayle and Marilyn Quayle.
The justices of the United States Supreme Court are with us. All nine of them, I counted.
And of course, the Trump and Vance families. This ceremony marks what will soon be 250 years.
Guys in the chat, can you put your theories on like what's going on with michelle obama because that's the dog that's not barking here it's not barking it is the moment when they become as we all should be the guardians of our country through war and peace through adversity and prosperity. We hold this inauguration every four years.
And today it falls. I can't believe she ran for president.
She can't even keep my attention.

I gotta stop talking.

And today it falls on Martin Luther King Day.

A further reminder that we must strive to uphold the values enshrined in our Constitution.

They think she has prostate cancer.

Guys, you are not serious people.

The United States Supreme Court

equal justice under law.

You guys are not serious people, okay?

This is an inauguration.

I asked you to tell me your theories

on where Michelle Obama was.

And whoever put prostate cancer,

you are not a serious person.

I'm very disappointed in you.

Cut back to Klobuchar because you are just. The ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
I really do. Love my viewers, man.
You guys are hilarious. And would often walk through this very rotunda.
One said, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of interest in politics, holds office. Everyone thinking it's divorce, separation.

Is in a position of responsibility. With that responsibility of citizenship comes an obligation not to seek out malice, as President Lincoln once reminded us, but to view others with a generosity of spirit, despite our differences.
With that responsibility of leadership comes an

obligation to stand our ground when we must and find common ground when we can. With everything swirling around us, the hot mess of division, it is on all of us to quote an incredible songwriter who just happened to be born in my state

to ensure that our nation's democracy is our shelter. to quote an incredible songwriter who just happened to be born in my state,

to ensure that our nation's democracy is our shelter from the storm.

There's a reason this ceremony takes place at the Capitol.

In other countries, it might be in a presidential palace or a gilded executive office building. Man, I feel like her speech is running five minutes too long.
Man, she's a... It is a fitting reminder of the system of checks and balances that is the very foundation of our government.
I feel like I have to show you guys this, but I'm bored with her speech. Somebody said, are the Macron's there? No.
I'm still waiting on the Macron's to answer my 21 questions. I don't know.
If you guys saw that I published what we wrote them back, some pretty basic yes or no questions. And they are obviously still working on the answers to that.
But that's another thing. When I say that, like, the expression is when America sneezes, the world catches a cold.
And right now what we are sneezing out is freedom. You know, just all of these people that have been leading these countries in Europe and just coming after our basic rights, our basic freedoms while trying to gaslight us.
Like this is, this is what's exciting about this moment is that we now know that that era is coming to an end. And that's why so many people from so many countries are watching this live stream right now, because everyone is just excited, excited about the prospect of what is going to be the trauma that is sent around the world.
Like, what are we actually going to do here? And I would say it's been very scary what we've seen happening in the UK. And I don't know if you guys are aware of this, if you follow geopolitics, but you have people that are tweeting and the police are showing up on their doors.
This is just, this is not a world that we had ever imagined. Europe really understanding what it means not to have free speech.
I mean, obviously we're going to get into the Emmanuel Macron story in about 10 more days, but the idea of locking up journalists, this is, there has been a cloud that has been hanging over the world over the last five to seven years. Endurance through the years is the ultimate test.
To persevere through time is the truest measure of an idea, an institution, and a nation. Our founders wrote the Constitution so that America could withstand all the twists and turns of time.
Okay, bore with her speech too, but just to say what it is that is so unique about America. And it's interesting because you have people asking these questions of how is America able to sort of keep surviving all of these attacks? And yes, it is true.
It's because of our constitution, but what made the constitution so genius is the state rights, right? So I always try to explain to them, like, we're actually kind of like 50 little countries, and we all have our own Constitution. So even when you had a place that was going so extreme throughout COVID, like New York, right, like New York State, and the things that they were doing in New York State, and really, that was kind of what was being blared out to the rest of the world.
This is what's happening in America. So this is what's happening everywhere.
It wasn't like that in the South. And so you saw people able to just pick up and move and leave where they were to say, OK, I'm going to leave California.
I'm going to leave New York. And I'm going to move to Tennessee, which is where my family moved to.
Or I'm going to move to Texas or move to Florida, where there is more freedom. And that really creates the ultimate system of checks and balances.
Because if you're a state and you're behaving like a communist country like California and New York did, you're now competing with the other mini states that are saying, well, we're going to sell freedom and we're going to take the people that are paying taxes there. And so there is an almost free market response to communism when it creeps into America.
And obviously now we were fearful of the government, the federal government, and now we're seeing something totally different. Hey, do you know what? What's interesting, I did not see, and you guys let me know if I'm wrong or we missed it, and he walked in earlier, but I did not see our Maha guy.
I did not see RFK Jr. Maybe he is sitting out in the crowd, did not see him walk in, have not actually seen him.
I don't think I saw him in the church as well. So that's interesting because there was a photo where he was assembled with everyone like, you know, the Maha, the mayor of Maha or the president of Maha, RFK Jr., who's already putting some pressure.
That is one confirmation that absolutely must happen. But we're already seeing, I think it's Steak and Shake,

which is a fast food place here in America.

They've announced that they're bringing back beef tallow.

This intentional poisoning of Americans that's been going on for decades.

The conversation, finally having someone who was saying,

no, we need to revisit vaccines

and why we're giving so many vaccines to children.

We need to talk about what we're putting in our food. What is Monsanto? What is all of this poison that exists? And know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme on the earth.
Let us pray. Remembering General George Washington on his knees at Valley Forge, recalling Abraham Lincoln at his second inaugural, with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right.
Remembering General George Patton's instructions to his soldiers as they began the Battle of the Bulge eight decades ago, pray, pray when fighting, pray alone, pray with others, pray by night, pray by day. Observing the birthday of the Reverend Martin Luther King who warned, without God our efforts turned to ashes.
We, blessed citizens of this one nation under God, humbled by our claim that in God we trust, gather indeed this inauguration day to pray for our President Donald J. Trump, his family, his advisors, his cabinet, his aspirations, his vice president, for the Lord's blessings upon Joseph Biden, for our men and women in uniform, for each other whose hopes are stoked this new year, this inauguration day.
We cannot err in relying upon that prayer from the Bible, upon which our president will soon place his hand in oath, as we make our own the supplications of King Solomon for wisdom, as he began his governance. God of our fathers, in your wisdom you set man to govern your creatures, to govern in holiness and justice, to render justice with integrity.
Give our leader wisdom, for he is your servant, aware of his own weakness and brevity of life. If wisdom which comes not from you be not with him, he shall be held in no esteem.
Send wisdom from heavens that she may be with him, that he may know your designs. Please bless america please mentor every flaw you are the god in whom we trust who lives and reigns forever and ever amen amen i feel like that honestly was the best speech it's prayer but that was the that was the most energy that we've seen on stage and He's got attention.
That's a cardinal of New York. Mr.
President, the last four years, there are times I'm sure you thought it was pretty dark. But look what God has done.
We praise him and give him glory. I'm going to scream glory to God in the background.
This is, I mean, felt, you know, I've been saying this since last year, but last year, 2023, it did just feel, and I know I shouldn't say like Christ was making a comeback because Christ is always present. But it just felt like we got to a place of such darkness that suddenly we felt this light that just burst through and to, you know, even go through what we went through, even fighting to say Christ is king last year and people around the world recognizing that for what we saw throughout the world, it doesn't really matter where you are at in terms of your own spiritual growth.
But I feel that for so long we were thinking, oh, it's about, you know, they hate Trump or, you know, they hate men. It's a war on masculinity.
It's a war on Trump. It's a war on conservatives.
They hate Republicans all around the world. We thought these things.
And then it never became more clear in the last year that this was always about. This has just always been since the beginning of time.
This is a war on God. You know, it's just become the world has become ungodly.
What is communism? What is socialism? It is, in my view, truly just a satanic response. It's doing the exact opposite of everything that the Bible stipulates.
Just take the Bible, you put it upside down, right? And people felt that chaos. Like I said, whether or not you were spiritually driven, once upon a time, your family was just a couple of generations ago.
And the further we fell away from that, the further, and I count myself among this, that we all, oh, I'm way too cool for church and God, and I want to be social and I want to be cool at school, whatever. We watched our society just begin to fray, the fabric of our society begin to fray.

And finally, people are saying, I'm not ashamed to be religious.

I'm not ashamed to try to get back into religion or to try to dedicate time to reading the Bible.

Read it academically.

And things will become so crystal clear to you as to why they wanted that book removed from classrooms,

why they treated people who have a relationship with God in the way that they have been treating them, because we are fighting real demons on earth, real demons on earth. And I really hope to see in the UK, by the way, as an answer to Keir Starmer, just a Christian response to it, a resurgence of Christianity is what we really need.
That's my belief, is that we've, we fell away from faith and the faithless have taken the wheel. If we turn our backs on you, we ask for your help.
And we pray all of this in the name of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, your son, my savior and our redeemer, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, guys. I did not realize he was saying a prayer.
I thought he was speaking.

Amen. I would have been much quieter then.

I only recognize the priest's garments.

We are. Moment has come.
Brett Kavanaugh.

J.D. Vance.

His children.

Ushad, his side.

He is going to take the oath.

And Kamala will no longer be the vice president of the United States

So help me God. Congratulations, Mr.
Vice President. All right.
One and done. Kamala is out.
By the way, she looks relieved. Kamala looks genuinely happy for him right now.
I think she's just so she hates Biden. She hates Jill.
She didn't want this role.

It was kind of given to her.

She didn't even really want to be president.

I genuinely,

if you go back and watch that,

Kamala looked relieved.

It is over.

She is like,

I can stop this song and dance

Congratulations, Mr. President.

Let's go! Woo! Woo! America! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! We are back! We are so back! Woo! Go cannons, go go! Let's go to war, people. Let's go to war with the rest of the communist world.
Let's get them all out. Let's get them all out.
Trump is in. You are out, Keir Starmer.
Looking at you, Zelensky. Looking at you, Mr.
and Mr. Macron.

We know what's up. This evil must end.
This evil must

end. There it is.

It's incredible.

Melania Trump, I love you so much. Call me.

Call me.

Answer my text. Stop

leaving me unread.

That's it. That's it.

We are literally back. It's just the most's it.
Like it's, it's, we are, we are literally back.

It's, it's just the most amazing feeling.

I can't, I mean, I know that overseas you guys have felt the exact same thing.

I know that you have felt it, but it was uniquely, it made us uniquely miserable here in America

because we've just always been a place that has valued freedom.

And we've just never seen this before.

Oh, it's not over.

It's not over until the fat lady sings.

By the way, I just wanted to give you guys an update.

I had mentioned I didn't see RFK Jr.

My producer said that he, yeah, we did just miss him walking in at some point

and that he is seated somewhere behind Don Trump Jr.

So I just didn't see him.

He is in the room.

Me too, right now. That's how I feel.
Oh! Oh! Oh! I want them all to sing together. We are so back, guys.
That is just amazing. I wonder what he's going to say in his speech.
We're at the edge of our seats. What is he going to say in his speech? What if he just goes like dark MAGA? You know what I mean? He just starts calling everybody out.
We're so back. You're out.
You can't sit with us. I'm glad you're here to tell you.
Okay, guys, just going to give you a couple of updates while we have this shaky cam thing situation happening. So first and foremost, okay, minutes before his term was set to end, an update here, Biden has announced that he is pardoning several members of his family because they did nothing wrong, my friends, including his brother, James Biden, his sister in law, Sarah Biden, his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, his brother in law, John T.
Owens. Like, what what were you guys up to? No one's like, I'm going to pardon my brother-in-law.
No one even thinks about that person. And his brother, Francis Biden, according to the pardon document, Biden is pardoning his siblings and all of his siblings-in-law for any nonviolent offenses against the United States, which they may have committed or taken part in.
During the period, again, from January 1st, 2014, through the date of this part. And you guys, again, that year in which we got involved in Ukraine, and we obviously had been telling you forever that it was a corrupt Biden regime, was the reason, like, what we were doing in Ukraine had nothing to do with Vladimir Putin, and rather business interests that were secured by the Biden family.
And if you need more evidence of that, who in the history of the United States has pardoned brother and sisters-in-laws? Like, why? What are they involved in? And so Biden really got out these last minute pardons after four years of rhetoric against the Trump family, saying he would never pardon his son. He would never, he would, you know, justice and must be served no matter who the person is.
No person is above the law. And it turns out that we've got a lot of people that are now above the law.

A lot of people, and they all happen to be members of his family.

So that really is something.

That really is something. In the beauty of the lilies,

Christ was born across the sea. I can't wait until AI gets to a point where it can give us thought bubbles and we can see literally what someone is thinking.

I just want to know what Trump is thinking right now.

I want to know what Melania is thinking.

I want to know what all of them are thinking right now.

You know what we know Melania is thinking.

She's thinking, I do not like half the people in this room,

and I told him not to invite them.

She's a real one. She's a real one.
And after Trump gives his inaugural address, he will bid farewell to President Joe Biden, to Vice President Kamala Harris. He'll then visit the overflow crowd, which will be at the Emancipation Hall, and he'll participate in a ceremony in the president's signing room.
And then he will have a presidential luncheon. And then he will return to the Emancipation Hall for a review of the troops.
So it's going to be a very, very busy day. By the way, there are some presidents from other countries that are in attendance or that are maybe not in the room, but they are in the rotunda.
We've got the Italian premier, Georgia Maloney. She is in the room as well as Argentinian president, Javier Millier.
I know a lot of people love him. I don't know.
I get weird vibes about him. I don't think any person is that excitable.
So we'll see about that. But that lets you know that people who were not invited, it's not because, as Zelensky said, well, they don't typically invite people.
No, actually, he made an executive decision not to invite you. President Trump does not like you.
So you have to just accept that, Zelensky. No one wanted you here.
It is my honor and pleasure to introduce to you the 45th and the 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Here we go.

Here we go. Thank you very much, everybody.
Well, thank you very, very much.

Vice President Vance,

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. The golden age of America begins right now.
From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will 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.
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 will end. And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before. I 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 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 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 continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
It fails to protect our magnificent law-abiding American citizens, but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world. 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, 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're watching fires still tragically burn.
From weeks ago, without even a token of defense, they're raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now. They don't have a home any longer.
That's interesting. But we can't let this happen.
Everyone is unable to do anything about it that's going to change. We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.

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.

All of this will change starting today, and it will change very quickly. Let's go.
My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have 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. Yes.
Let's go. Calling out by name, Trump.

Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history.
That is true. And I've learned a lot along the way.
The journey to reclaim 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.

Yep.

Just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear.

But I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.

Amen. And we still don't know anything about the shooter, by the way.
They tried to kill this man

twice. Twice.
Okay. Just got chills thinking about that.
He's standing on the stage right now,

despite all of those odds on the golf course in Pennsylvania. Look at Melania.
She's looking at she don't trust nobody. She's just giving a side eye to Hillary Clinton.
I don't trust anybody in that room but Melania Trump. That's how I feel.
That's where I'm at right now. That is why each day under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength.
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 20th, 2025, is Liberation Day.
Yes. Let's go.
It said libera no sa malo. It is my hope that our recent presidential 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, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural, and very importantly, we had a powerful win in all seven swing states, and the popular vote we won by millions of people. To the black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote.
We set records, and I will not forget it. I've heard your voices in 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.

We will make his dream come true.

Also tell us who shot him.

It's been a great day to release the MLK files.

We know who shot him, but just as a formality, tell us who shot him. It's been a great day to release the MLK files.
We know who shot him, but you know, just as a formality, tell us who shot him. Thank you.
And half the people in the room

applauding for the corrupt organizations. National unity is now returning 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

our God. Can't do that.
This is the most I've heard forget our God.

Can't do that.

This is the most I've heard him mention God.

He's changed.

That bullet, piercing his ear changed him.

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. It's all about common sense.
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border. Amen.
Yes. You got to go home.
You got to pack it up. You got to pack it up, Pedro.
Everyone's got to go right now. You're going home.
Get excited on those same flights that Biden brought you when you're going to go out. I don't hear any tears.
Oh, my God. You just got here.
OK, you got to go home. You got to go home right now.
So wherever you're hiding, Tom Holman's going to find you, okay? 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.

Yes.

We will reinstate my remain in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch and release.
And I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country. Yes.

In Poland, they shoot them.

They literally shoot them,

and then people don't come to the border anymore. The orders I signed today,

we will also be designating the cartels

as foreign terrorist organizations.

Yes.

You're going to find out, maybe,

that maybe some people in federal government

have something to do with the cartels.

I'm just saying, look into some federal government history, and it's not pretty. Talk about what you're going to do with the FBI.
And by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, 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 U.S. soil, including our cities and inner cities.
As Commander-in-Chief, I 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 marshal the vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices.
You heard that? The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices,

and that is why today I will also declare a national energy... The creation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices.

And that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency.

We will drill, baby, drill.

Yes, guys, you have to look at Bill Clinton.

He's just exceptionally happy.

But yes, make us energy independent.

Absolutely no reason that we aren't.

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 are going to use it Thank you Sorry Elon Musk your electric car version. 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 our feet that will help to do it. With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal, and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American autoworkers.
Cut to Elon Musk. I want to see his face on that because I'm not on his like, everyone will be driving an electric car.
Nope. Nope, not me.
Sorry. Not handing that control over to the government.
In other words, you'll be able to buy the car of your choice.

We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago. And thank you to the autoworkers of our nation for your inspiring vote of confidence.
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. What an idea.
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 sources.
The American dream will soon be back and thriving like never before to restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government. My administration will establish the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
Yes. Shrink government.
That is the mandate. That's what we're putting you in office for.
Get rid of all of these useless jobs. After years and years of illegal and 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.
Yep. And that's why TikTok got restored last night.
You saw the Tate brothers were put on, put back onto TikTok. Everyone understands now.
They understand the social media companies, my YouTube channel getting remonetized all overnight.

This all just happened overnight because they understand now that the era, the regime of censorship is over. Never again will 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. And under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.
And we are going 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.
Yes, yes. We will forge a society that is colorblind 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. It's crazy this even needs to be said on stage and applauded for.
I mean, it's just crazy. Like, yeah, there's, yeah, there's only two genders.
Sorry, Rachel Levin. Sorry, Sam Brinton.
This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain. Wow.
That's huge. Wow.
Yes. Unbelievable.

Experimenting on their bodies.

They've been doing that forever. In order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories

and social experiments while on duty, it's going to end immediately.

Yes. I love this.

You guys, the history of what they've done to our troops is so dark.

Our armed forces will be freed to focus on their sole mission, defeating America's enemies.

America's enemies, okay?

Not Zelensky's, not Bibi Netanyahu's, America's enemies.

Let's go. Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen.
We will measure our success 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. Yes.
Thank you. Stop involving us.
Stop letting our boys die overseas in foreign countries, fighting for countries that would never fight for them or send a single troop for them. Yes.
Respect our troops. I'm just so sick, sick of the way they have been treated.
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
I believe that. 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.

I'm not going to comment about how I feel about the fact that, like, speaking about American troops didn't get a standing ovation from everyone behind him. Thank you.
We have to also prioritize our troops. 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 restore the name of a great president,

William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.

Wow. Are you serious? President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and 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. The United States, I mean, think of this, spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal.

We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made. Yeah, it's coming back.
And Panama's promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the 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 and we're taking it back. It's ours.
It's over. I could hear it in his tone.
That's the most fired up he's been. It's the American Canal again.
Okay. It's the American Canal.
I'm sorry. There's any Panama people in the chat.
It's ours. It's ours.
I'm sorry. Yeah.
66K watching. Let's go, guys.
This is awesome. Above all, my 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. We will not be deterred.
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 and beautiful horizons.
And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars,

launching American astronauts to plant the stars andod of a great nation. And right now our nation is more ambitious than any other.
There's no nation like our nation. 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 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 deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, 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 dream we cannot achieve.

Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage such a historic political comeback.

But as you see today, here I am, the American people have spoken.

Indeed, we have. We have spoken.
That's exactly right. I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do.

In America, the impossible is what we do best. from New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix,

from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington, D.C.,

our country was forged and built by the generations of patriots

who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.

They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steel workers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward, marched forward, and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or their pride. Together they laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, and triumphed 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's promise, 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, I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

We are going to win like never before.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

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 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 be broken. And we will not fail.
From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign,

and independent nation. We will stand bravely.
We will live proudly. We will dream boldly.

And nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours.

And our golden age has just begun. Thank you.
God bless America. Thank you all.
Thank you. It is done.
We are done. We're back.
Honestly, that was an incredible speech, and I'll tell you why. First and foremost, he was much more subdued in the beginning than I anticipated for him to be.
I didn't expect him to be so calm, collected, and in control. He got probably the most fired up talking about Panama.
So it's just over, by the way. If there's any people from Panama in the chat, you just like you gotta just accept that that's ours.
You could see he really meant what he was saying. He does not like a bad business deal.
He does not like when Americans are being treated poorly and yet paying the cost to be treated poorly. So you can sense that sincerity.
I also think when he speaks and he says that he really wants to bring peace upon the world, I think he genuinely means he does not want to be involved in overseas conflicts. That was one of the reasons that I was compelled to vote for him, among the litany of reasons why I was compelled to vote for him.
Sorry, I just want to see who's taking the stage right now. Oh, is that Carrie Underwood? Looking fantastic.
I love her so much. Neighbor of mine,

by the way, fantastic human being. She really is.
And I have no idea why liberals thought that

Carrie Underwood was a liberal. I just, that's just the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Here she goes. We're going to actually not way, quite, she's very shy in person.

She's a very shy person.

So for her to do this and to take all the mudslinging that she's endured,

I'll tell you that probably was not easy for her.

She's a, but, you know, these things happen sometimes. Anyways, as they're resolving that, you know, just a really strong strong speech he felt like we were kind of going up an escalator and he was getting more fired up um as he began to speak and you know just hit all of the right buttons he understands the mandate that was sent and i think really the biggest thing obviously just being what he survived i mean i think that was obviously the most emotional part of the entire speech,

realizing that they tried to imprison him.

They tried to kill him.

Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,

for amber waves of rain.

She's doing it, no music,

like only Carrie Underwood could.

For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain. America, America, God shed his grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Wow.
Chills. Look at that.
Music malfunctioned and Carrie Underwood just went acapella like only she could. She was like, I don't need no music.
I'm Carrie Underwood. That's also what we're getting.
We're getting real musicians back. You hear that? That's also in the mandate.
He almost said it. But real music is coming back.
These stupid pop singers. No, you sing like Carrie Underwood or step aside.
America's back. I want to hear you acapella or you're gone.
New rules, new American Idol mandate right there. Thank you, Carrie Underwood, for giving that to us.
Senator Fisher will now introduce the benediction clergy. Oh, the benediction clergy.
I now call on Rabbi Ari Berman, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, and Reverend Frank Mund to provide prayers of benediction. Your prophet Jeremiah walked the streets of Jerusalem and blessed its inhabitants with the Hebrew words, Baruch HaGever, Eshe Yivtach BaHashem, Blessed is the one who trusts in God.
Thousands of years later, this great nation, which adopted these words as its motto, In God we trust, stands at a moment of historic opportunity.

Americans are searching for meaning. Our merciful Father, help us rise to meet this moment.
Bless President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D.
Vance with the strength and courage to choose the right and the good. Unite us around our foundational biblical values of life and liberty, of service and sacrifice, and especially of faith and morality, which George Washington called the indispensable support of American prosperity.
Guide our schools and college campuses, which have been experiencing such unrest, to inspire the next generation to pair progress with purpose, knowledge with wisdom, and truth with virtue. Hear the cry of the hostages, both American and Israeli, whose pain our president so acutely feels.
We are so thankful for the three young women who yesterday returned home

and pray that the next four years brings peace to Israel and throughout the Middle East.

Oh my God. returned home and pray that the next four years brings peace to Israel and throughout the Middle East.
Almighty God, grant all Americans the opportunity to realize our shared dream of a life filled with peace and plenty, health and happiness, compassion and contribution. stir within us the confidence to rise to this moment.
For while we trust in God, God's trust is in us, the American people. America is called to greatness, to be a beacon of light and a mover of history.
May our nation merit the fulfillment of Jeremiah's blessing, that like a tree planted by water, we shall not cease to bear fruit.

May all of humanity experience your love and your blessing. May it be thy will and let us say amen.
Let us pray for our 47th president. Heavenly Father, we're so grateful that you gave our 45th and now our 47th president a millimeter miracle.
We are grateful that you are the one that have called him for such a time as this, that America would begin to dream again. We pray that we would fulfill the true meaning of our creed, that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
We pray that you use our president, that we will live in a nation where we will not be judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character. Heavenly Father, in the name of of Jesus we are so grateful today

that you will use our 47th president so we would sing with new meaning my country tis of thee sweet land of Liberty of thee I sing land where my fathers die land of the pilgrims' pride from every mountainside. Let freedom ring, and because America is called to be a great nation, we believe that you will make this come true.
So let freedom ring from the perditious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

He's hyped.

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous hilltops of California.

But God, we're asking you not only that.

Let's go. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous hilltops of California.
But God, we're asking you not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain, Georgia.
I think this guy's going to go viral. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill in Mississippi, from every state, every city, every every village and every hamlet. And when we let freedom ring, we will be able to speed up that day.
All of your children, black men and white men, Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Gentile will be able to sing in the meaning of that old negro spiritual free at last

this is gonna get memed thank you god almighty we are free at last if you believe what the spirit of the lord is there is liberty come on put your hands together and give your great god great glory He's got energy, okay?

This guy has got energy.

He's gonna be memed.

He's going viral.

And let's... great god great god he's got energy okay this guy has got energy he's gonna be memed he's going viral and let freedom ring let freedom ring what church is that because you know people are hyped at that church every Sunday.
Almighty and eternal God, we gather here today in reverence, joined in our shared hopes and dreams for our beloved nation. In this sacred moment of the inauguration of President Donald J.
Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, We turn our hearts to you, seeking your divine assistance and abundant blessings upon this pivotal moment in history.
We come before you with profound gratitude for the many gifts you have bestowed upon our land. Thank you for the freedoms we cherish, for the strength of our communities, and for the resilience of our spirit.
As our President and Vice President embrace their newly appointed roles, we humbly implore that your everlasting love and wisdom will envelop them. Grant them the clarity of mind to navigate the challenges that lie ahead, and the compassion to serve all citizens with fairness and integrity.

May their hearts be filled with a giving spirit and sincere understanding for those whom they represent.

May they be beacons of hope in times of uncertainty and prophetic voices in defending the dignity of all created life. We pray for a spirit of collaboration to flourish in our government and across our nation, fostering an environment where dialogue and heartfelt listening will prevail over division or discord.
May each decision made by our president and vice president reflect the values of justice and peace. As we embark on this new chapter, we also seek your comfort, O God, for those who feel lost or disheartened.
In this time of transition, may your light shine upon them, reaffirming their belief in a brighter tomorrow. May we all strive to lift one another, supporting our fellow citizens with kindness and empathy, recognizing that together we can overcome any adversity.
Grant us the strength to endure, the courage to face our fears, and the clarity to see the light that remains even when clouds of uncertainty may gather. Inspire our new leaders to be champions for the vulnerable and advocates for those whose voices are often silenced.

May they pursue policies that promote the well-being of all, seeking to build bridges that will foster unity and belonging. As we stand witness to this inauguration, we hold fast to the faith, to our faith, in the goodness of each of us and the possibility of change.
We trust that with your guidance, O God, our nation can move forward to a future filled with promise, prosperity, and understanding. And finally, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the beloved parents of President Trump.
Without Mary and Fred Trump, this day would never be the miracle that has just begun. From their place in heaven, may they shield their son from all harm by their loving protection and give him the strength to guide our nation along the path that will make America great again.
Let us go forth now with these words of President Trump's emblazoned on our hearts. as long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions,

and faith in our God, then we will not fail. We stand tall.
We stand proud because we are Americans and Americans kneel to God and to God alone.

In nombre de la filia y el Espíritu Santo. Amen.

I mean, obviously I'm biased.

I felt like that was the best prayer, Catholic gang gang.

I am biased.

But the first one felt like an APAC speech.

The second one felt comical.

I was laughing very hard.

I'm glad that I got to be there.

And the third one felt like there was no agenda and just praying over the country. And our boy Christopher Macchio is back.
Christopher, I'm sorry, I'm going to talk over you again. But essentially what I just wanted to say, and I think people probably agree with me about those three different prayers, but in America, I guess you get to pick which faith you are.
But tremendously, I just want to say Carrie Underwood was, I think, a true highlight. She was fantastic.
And to go acapella and knowing her personality and having the tech issues was amazing. And I do also want to say that Trump's speech was very good.
We definitely felt like it was a crescendo and that you could really sense that he means what he says. Like he he wants to be a president that ultimately brings peace, but, you know, a peace through demonstrating to the world that we are strong and we're not going to allow us to be taken advantage of anymore.
And we are not going to allow the soft squeeze, as I said, on speech, which is, in my view, the most detrimental thing to happen as soon as any group of people, any organization, any politician starts speaking about speech and what we need to do because things are racist or sexist or anti-Semitic. They are an enemy to freedom.
That is that is the reality. And so he mentioned throughout that speech how he was going to take away policies, get rid of policies that incorporate race into everything, sexism into everything.
Yes, I hope he delivers on that mandate in that there isn't a carve out because we are starting to see in America and in France and across the world, like people starting to speak, we need laws again. No, we don't.
No, we don't. We need speech.
It is something that allows us to have the freedom of debate and allows us to recognize who is telling the truth and who is not telling the truth. When you censor speech, then there's no debate, so it doesn't happen here.

I'm just so keen to see what you guys are thinking about all of this. Your comments, by the way, the reason I was laughing so hard throughout that pastor, the chat was just going absolutely insane.
And this is why I live for doing live shows, because you guys are so funny. And honestly, it would have been funny if Kamala Harris got up and did her black pastor voice.
She would have been amazing. She would have been absolutely amazing if she got up and just started delivering on that altogether.
But, you know, Mark, you can keep the C-SPAN up in case there's anything that we're missing here on the tail end, but it does seem like it is coming to a close. And by coming to a close, I mean, we're actually coming to a beginning.
It looks like Trump has filed out. J.D.
Vance has filed out. Again, you could see it was palpable in the room, the excitement when he was delivering on what his mandate would be to the American people.
And he spoke about the automobile industry, you know, basically trying to force all of us to use these electric cars. And who knows who's doing the deal with lithium deals overseas.
No, I don't want to plug in. I don't even like plugging in my cell phone.
I don't want to plug in my car. I'm sorry, Elon Musk.

I'm not here with that vision whatsoever.

So it's good to hear him, Trump, just say so much about the automobile industry.

It was amazing.

I thought the high point of him speaking about what has been going on with our troops, guys.

I mean, the darker, the more that I look into the history and really see how dark it is.

We have been experimenting on troops from the beginning, you know.

Hold on. One moment of silence from Melania Trump walking by with that hat again.
Love you forever. Call me.
And, you know, we talked about the MKUltra program and there's some really dark chapters in that book, Chaos, where they speak about how they use that program to psychologically convince, it's heavily implied in that book, to make a man who didn't even know where he was just by giving him a drug cocktail,

a kill, a young girl, a father of two

who had never committed a crime in his life

and was serving as a troop,

ended up getting the electric chair

as a demonic person who was running the MKUltra program,

sat and watched and tried to say,

oh, we don't know why he had this psychological break,

knowing fully well that they were running the MKUltra program. These things have been happening in troops all across the world, by the way.
I have a friend of mine who served the country and she spoke about how many experimental vaccines they all had to get simply because they wanted to do what, serve this country. And if you wanna serve this country, the first thing that people should be doing is going down to the border and hear him speak about that, how our borders are open while we defend other people's borders.
It's wrong. It is wrong that people have buried their sons and buried their daughters and their country, their home country has not gotten safer.
And so I thought that that was definitely a high point, especially when he said he would not only just reinstate these service members with full back pay, but he also,

not just reinstate them,

but also give them full back pay.

People that were literally being kicked out of the military for being unwilling to roll up their sleeves

and get a COVID vaccine shot.

The amount of people that were kicked out.

I mean, it's just incredible.

What, why should you have to,

when you're already offering your entire body

and saying, I'm willing to die for my country,

simultaneously have to fulfill the nefarious motives

of big pharma?

We just want you to experience it. offering your entire body and saying, I'm willing to die for my country, simultaneously have to fulfill the nefarious motives of big pharma.
Who just wants to experiment on you? Want to see how it goes? See if you die. People who have had, who served in the country, who have had their fertility impacted.
And one young woman who was telling me that, the things that she suffered overseas in Afghanistan, because they had to just get, she said, an incredible amount of vaccines. And so to hear him speak about that and to speak about making America healthy again for people who perhaps don't have the opportunity to travel outside the United States, we are without question the sickest nation.
And I'm speaking, of course, about comparable nations, I'm speaking about Europe, in terms of what we are allowed to put in our food, it's not allowed. You go over to Europe, it's not allowed.
In Switzerland, it's not allowed in the UK. They say these are obviously harmful things to put in food, so we won't allow it.
And yet in America, we say it's fine. And the reason for that is because of the extensive lobbying of Big Pharma, two lobbies that I want to see have their power decreased.
And I think a lot of Americans will agree with this, which are the biggest lobbies in the United States, obviously, big pharma, the fact that we have big pharma reps going around, getting people to sign in laws, creating all of these bureaucrats, these bureaucratic organizations that we have ceded so much power to the fact that Dr. Fauci just got a pardon from Joe Biden because we know that everything he did was corrupt, that he lied to the American people.
We know these things already to be true. And hopefully he's going to be made to testify on some of the things that were done during covid because it was crooked and it was backwards.
And it's about lining the the lining, the pockets of the elite. And we know that to be true.
And so we want to see Big Pharma be taken down. But also I am concerned, as I have demonstrated throughout this entire year about AIPAC.
I think that is a major problem. I think it's problematic that as he spoke about everything he was going to do for the troops, the people behind him did not give him a standing ovation.
But as soon as he mentioned hostages in Israel, they gave a standing ovation. Like that's problematic for Americans to see.
Like it's problematic. And it's both or none, maybe, but it should be America first.
And so I didn't love that, you know, and that has been a major concern is the amount of money that we know that he has taken from people like Miriam Adelson, essentially like he's going to owe them a pound of flesh. And so that's going to be the question.
What are going to be the hiccups going into this administration? What are going to be the things that Trump is going to deal with? And I think the the America Israel question is going to be a major one. I feel confident that he will deliver in every other area and it's going to be a difficult needle for him to thread.
Otherwise, I believe that he is averse to sending troops overseas to die. I believe that he is hell bent on bringing back a roaring economy.
He wants that to be his legacy. He is now in this for his legacy.
He has nothing to lose. This is going to be his last four years, no matter what.
So he doesn't need to make friends. And it will be interesting to see who is behind Trump, you know, who's going to come rather instead.
And whether that's going to be J.D. Vance, whether the game is going to be completely flipped and changed by 2028.
But, you know, I'm excited. Everyone in the world is excited.
And you could, like I said, just seeing the amount of countries that are in this chat right now. It has been incredible.
I want to get to some of your comments and see how you guys felt about that. Answer some of your questions.
You know, how is everybody feeling right now? Before we do that, I lastly want to remind you about 7 Weeks Coffee because I'm pregnant and it's important that we support pro-life organizations and everybody drinks coffee. So why not do some good while you're drinking coffee? We have a pro-life coffee company, Seven Weeks Coffee.
If you're wondering why it's called Seven Weeks Coffee, it's because at seven weeks, a baby is the size of a coffee bean and it's the same time that a heartbeat is clearly detected on an ultrasound. They donate 10% of every sale to support pregnancy care centers across the country.
They've raised over $750,000 for those centers and they have saved, of course, thousands of lives.

So I can tell you the coffee is also great.

I'm very picky about what I drink.

It's mold-free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, low-acid, organically farmed.

It hits all the bells and whistles.

And if you subscribe right now, you will get a free engraved coffee spoon.

Look at that coffee spoon.

It's beautiful.

Exclusively from my listeners, if you go to 7weekscoffee.com and use code Candice for up to 25% off, when you subscribe, you will get 25% off. Remember, your order will directly help support a network of over 1,000 pro-life organizations across the U.S.
Again, that's sevenweekscoffee.com and use code Candice. Okay, let's get to some of your comments.
Oh my gosh, Fred, you gave us a lot of money, Fred Berger. I got to read your comment here.
It's very nice for you to tip me. It's the first day that I'm re-monetized.
People that were asking the question, why are we seeing ads? Yeah, Trump's back. And so I think there was this mad dash scramble for a lot of these social media companies to go.
He's saying, as he said, that they will face consequences for censoring speech. And I was very keen to be the person, as I always am, to go through a legal battle to stand up to these people because they just bully conservative voices.
They bully different perspectives that they don't want to hear. And there's no question that I was completely bullied by these people last year because I wasn't pro-APAC, and I have no regrets about that.
Fred Berger, he writes, God bless you, Candace, and your family. May this be the first step into a brighter future for liberty and prosperity from a red in a blue city of Chicago.
Keep up the fabulous reporting and entertainment. Thank you so much, Fred, truly.
And yeah, we all just feel like a weight has been lifted off of our shoulders. Randy Lando writes, Trump stopped the genocide in Gaza.
That alone makes him better than Biden ever was. Look, we have to see what happens with that.
Again, Netanyahu is almost stepping on Trump's toes immediately saying like, that's not what was done. It's temporary.
And then we're going to get more money and more weapons and we're going to keep bombing. And like I said, if you see those pictures of what's coming out of Gaza, it's just incredible that our Western media refuses to report on what's happening there.
It looks like Dresden. It looks like a nuclear bomb has hit.
I can't imagine why you have to completely level apartment buildings and complexes in order for you to accomplish your goals of what you say is just, you know, hitting a tunnel at a certain point. And rather notoriously, yeah, these are some of the photos.
It looks like this everywhere. And rather notoriously, you had Eric, I almost said Weinstein, I am blanking on his name, the one who ran Blackwater, Eric Prince, who said publicly, no one paid attention to this, that he gave them a plan of how they could go and how they could get the tunnels.
And they, Bibi Netanyahu didn't want it, that the State Department didn't want it. They did not want to go in and effectively hit their targets.
And it was not a military response. This was meant to be, as Bibi Netanyahu said, my viewpoint before he ever, before October 7th ever took place, he said, we have to make the pain, I'm paraphrasing here, so unbearable that they don't want to return.
And he was speaking about the Palestinians. And so this, to me, has been an imperialistic effort.
I don't care what you want to call that. I call things as I see them, and I do not care to lose fans that think that it is acceptable what has happened here.
Jack Splatt writes, Biden pardoned family members just before the inauguration started. Absolutely awful.
If Trump did that, the mainstream media would be calling for him to be strung up. Yep, we went over that.
And he uniquely just keeps pardoning them from 2014 forward. And again, as I said, when it was deeply unpopular, everything that's happening in Ukraine has nothing to do with Putin trying to expand.
And it's the exact opposite. Biden wanted to end the war in Afghanistan to get into Ukraine because that is where his family's interests are.
And it's likely that what Putin was telling us about them, there being labs that were all across the Ukrainian border. He said there were bio labs, sort of these black labs, and he didn't know what they were doing in those labs.
Burisma, obviously appointing to its board of an energy company appointing Hunter Biden, who has positively no history and no resume in the energy sector.

And somehow he gets this position on the board of Burisma. And we saw the emails once his laptop got exposed, which the media tried to hide.
So there was an entire network of people that has been benefiting from our presence in Ukraine. And they very much upped the ante as soon as Biden got into office and Biden is now rather openly and corruptly letting us know.
He is saying, yep, my family was corrupt and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. And unfortunately, now he's right.
He assigned it. It's over.
Dane writes, I voted for Trump, but he's not conservative. Conservatives don't increase the size of government.
He's creating department after department. I don't see that.
I don't know if you're referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, but if you read that mandate, they're working themselves out of a job. Essentially, they're not going to be an apartment.
It's a temporary department that is supposed to basically wind down all of the useless departments. so I do not think that when we are done, when everything is said and done, there's going to be a larger government than there was when Trump got started.
You could be right. We will see, Dane.
Bobius writes, as a black Christian, I apologize for this pastor, LOL. That was, it was energy.
He was spunky, is what I will say. And I hope I'm saying your name right.
Odo Zayacuchi, Odo Zayacuchi, I think. Looks like this is coming from the UK.
Wonderful coverage, Candice. I'm so happy.
The inauguration went through with no hiccups. I was so nervous for today.
Cheering you all on from the UK. God bless America.
And lastly, Outkast said, Kamala can't wait to go home and take a bath in her collared greens. What a great way to end this episode.
Also, what a fantastic way to just end this dark era of the Kamala and Biden presidency, which felt like a show. No matter what, you should be feeling hopeful.
You should be feeling, even if it's not going to be perfect. We know it's not going to be perfect.
We know that there are going to be some hiccups and we are going to maintain our perspective here on this show of, you know, criticizing Trump when he does something wrong and being even and just being fair and also highlighting when he gets something right. And I think no matter what, we're going to walk out of this presidency.
You know, I voted for this man. I have backed him without being a sycophantic about it for now it feels 12 years, 12 years.
How long are we? It's 2015. I guess it's not been 12 years, but, you know, 10 years of backing this person, packing this presidency.
And it's because I believe in Trump. And I know that he's got a lot of battles ahead of him.
We can't wait for him to release the files on JFK and MLK so we can understand how deeply this corruption runs. And I think he is the correct man for the job.
He's the correct man right now. God bless the United States of America.
God bless all of you guys making the show such a success. We, again, are so happy to be back and to be independent and to be able to use our voice

to highlight evil when it is evil and to not be controlled by corporate narratives anymore.

That's it, you guys.

We are signing off and we will see you tomorrow. Thank you.
