Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: It is official, folks. Donald Trump is the sitting forty
- 0:04Speaker 1: seventh President of the United States of America. The inauguration
- 0:07Speaker 1: of Donald Trump was truly incredible, and Trump vowed to
- 0:10Speaker 1: end wokeness in the military, wokeness in our government, wokeness
- 0:14Speaker 1: on our college campuses. And he also had a hell
- 0:18Speaker 1: of a day signing executive orders. Donald Trump also did
- 0:22Speaker 1: something that made the media lose their minds, and that
- 0:26Speaker 1: was him pardoning many of those that were involved, fifteen
- 0:29Speaker 1: hundred of them that were in and around the Capitol
- 0:32Speaker 1: on January the sixth. We now understand why Donald Trump
- 0:36Speaker 1: said he was going to do this. As he was
- 0:39Speaker 1: talking on Capitol Hill after he was torn in, he
- 0:42Speaker 1: said this about what Nancy Pelosi did on January the sixth.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The whole new respect for me. But it was just
- 0:51Speaker 2: make believes stuff. There were a lot of make beliefs
- 0:53Speaker 2: stories made up. So rather than self hear the wrath,
- 0:57Speaker 2: like the story when Nancy Pelosi offered at ten thousand soldiers.
- 1:01Speaker 3: She knows that she admitted it on tape that her
- 1:04Speaker 3: daughter made.
- 1:04Speaker 2: She's a videographer or whatever you call her, which.
- 1:09Speaker 3: I'm lat she is, so she can't be in good
- 1:11Speaker 3: stead with Nancy.
- 1:13Speaker 2: But Nancy said it was my responsibility as she's leaving
- 1:16Speaker 2: the capital. She said it was, and it was, she's
- 1:18Speaker 2: in charge of security at the capitol. But I offered
- 1:21Speaker 2: them up to ten thousand soldiers even more. One time,
- 1:25Speaker 2: I said, more as any as you need, but you
- 1:27Speaker 2: needed four or five hundred four five ten thousand, I
- 1:30Speaker 2: would be more than the number of people there by lot.
- 1:34Speaker 2: But we offered her ten thousand, think of it, ten
- 1:37Speaker 2: thousand soldiers. In other words, J six wouldn't be JA six,
- 1:41Speaker 2: there would have been no J six.
- 1:43Speaker 3: But she rebuffed them. She didn't like it. No, she
- 1:45Speaker 3: didn't like it. Maybe she wanted that to happen. But
- 1:49Speaker 3: she's guilty as hell.
- 1:51Speaker 2: And now we would have to go through the process
- 1:54Speaker 2: because they destroyed all evidence.
- 1:56Speaker 3: They deleted everything.
- 1:58Speaker 1: The question everybody should ask us why would they delete everything?
- 2:01Speaker 1: I think we all know the answer, and that was
- 2:03Speaker 1: because they didn't want us to know what actually happened
- 2:06Speaker 1: and what was going on and how much the government
- 2:09Speaker 1: was involved. On January the sixth, which brings us back
- 2:12Speaker 1: to what Donald Trump decided to do when he got
- 2:15Speaker 1: to the White House and was actually very clear. Donald
- 2:19Speaker 1: Trump said I'm going to pardon a bunch of people
- 2:22Speaker 1: because I do not trust that the government did it
- 2:26Speaker 1: the right way. Joe Biden's administration clearly thought that the
- 2:31Speaker 1: January sixth committee members broke the law as well because
- 2:35Speaker 1: they offered preemptive pardons, something that Marsha Blackburn brought up
- 2:39Speaker 1: on Fox News.
- 2:42Speaker 4: Senator, what's your take on this?
- 2:43Speaker 5: Why would Joe Biden want to issue a pre emptive
- 2:47Speaker 5: pardon to Liz Cheney?
- 2:49Speaker 4: Did she break the law?
- 2:50Speaker 6: What we are learning from this as obviously the Biden
- 2:54Speaker 6: administration thinks that these individuals that would be given preve
- 3:00Speaker 6: pardons broke the law in some way, so they're going
- 3:05Speaker 6: to cover them before they exit the White House. Maria,
- 3:08Speaker 6: I think the other thing is we've all heard that
- 3:12Speaker 6: Biden is having a lot of trouble raising money for
- 3:15Speaker 6: the Biden Library, So now he's trying to mollify the
- 3:20Speaker 6: left wing of the Democrat Party. But we've all watched
- 3:24Speaker 6: is this party is in complete and total disarray, and
- 3:27Speaker 6: what we've all seen is that they have learned absolutely
- 3:31Speaker 6: nothing from the November election, and people in this country
- 3:36Speaker 6: are tired of two tears of justice and they're looking
- 3:39Speaker 6: at these preemptive pardons and saying, well, I guess our
- 3:43Speaker 6: instincts and our suppositions were correct. These people were breaking
- 3:48Speaker 6: the law and going after Donald J. Trump.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Now, of course the left is not happy about these
- 3:55Speaker 1: January the sixth pardons. Adam Shift on NBC News making
- 3:59Speaker 1: it clear he is just had shocked. This is the
- 4:03Speaker 1: same guy that lied to you about Russian collusion, the
- 4:06Speaker 1: same guy that went after Donald Trump for a perfectly
- 4:09Speaker 1: normal phone call with Ukraine. The same guy that knew
- 4:12Speaker 1: while they were impeaching Donald Trump over Russia collusion that
- 4:15Speaker 1: it was actually a story created and paid for by
- 4:18Speaker 1: his Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton for president. Adam Shift
- 4:23Speaker 1: is also the same guy that lied about January sixth,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and a guy that apparently behind the scenes was hoping
- 4:30Speaker 1: that in that committee that he and others would get
- 4:33Speaker 1: quote pardons from Donald Trump. So what is he saying
- 4:36Speaker 1: about what Donald Trump did.
- 4:37Speaker 7: Today scene it's a grotesque display of his new power
- 4:43Speaker 7: as president to pardon these fifteen or sixteen hundred people,
- 4:47Speaker 7: which I have to imagine includes people that committed violent
- 4:50Speaker 7: assaults on law enforcement. It certainly includes apparently one of
- 4:54Speaker 7: the leaders of the Proud Boys.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Rather fitting sadly that among.
- 4:58Speaker 7: His very first acts off to give a pardon to
- 5:01Speaker 7: a white nationalist leader like that. So hard to imagine
- 5:06Speaker 7: that we were sitting in the capital, the site of
- 5:08Speaker 7: that attack, and hours later, the man who incited that
- 5:13Speaker 7: attack pardons the people who participated in that attack. It
- 5:17Speaker 7: really is a terrible.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Way to begin, terrible way they begin, grotesque and obscene,
- 5:24Speaker 1: coming from the same guy that went after Donald Trump,
- 5:27Speaker 1: trying to overthrow the will of the people. So what
- 5:29Speaker 1: did Donald Trump actually say when he was issuing those
- 5:33Speaker 1: pardons at the White House? Well, here's Donald Trump in
- 5:37Speaker 1: his own words, is January sixth.
- 5:40Speaker 2: These are the hostages, approximately fifteen hundred for a pardon,
- 5:46Speaker 2: full partner, full.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Pardon.
- 5:54Speaker 2: We have about six commutations in there when we're doing
- 5:57Speaker 2: further research. Nice again, so this is a big one.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Anything you want to explain about this.
- 6:06Speaker 3: We hope they get him. We hope they come out tonight.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Frankly, they're expecting it. Approximately fifteen hundred people, six six commutations.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Were there any if you didn't known, or.
- 6:18Speaker 2: People were looking at different things, but the commutations would
- 6:22Speaker 2: be the ones that will take a look and maybe
- 6:24Speaker 2: it'll stay that way, or it'll go to in a
- 6:27Speaker 2: faux party, and.
- 6:28Speaker 8: The order does require the Bureau of Prisons to act
- 6:31Speaker 8: immediately on receipt of the pardons and commutation orders.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Sir, this is once we get that down so they
- 6:37Speaker 2: can get him going right now.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Sir.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I love how he pauses everything else and says, for
- 6:42Speaker 1: all these people, as he referred to them as well hostages,
- 6:47Speaker 1: let's stop what we're doing and let's get this paperwork
- 6:50Speaker 1: down right away so we can get these people out
- 6:54Speaker 1: of jail right away. What I think is so interesting
- 6:58Speaker 1: about all this is that Donald Trump is coming to office,
- 7:01Speaker 1: and it's very clear he came in with an agenda,
- 7:04Speaker 1: and it's an agenda that he is going to move
- 7:06Speaker 1: forward with very quickly. He did all of this and
- 7:09Speaker 1: then said, all right, honey, let's get dressed up and
- 7:11Speaker 1: go to the inaugural balls. This is a man showing
- 7:15Speaker 1: how focused he is on making America great again, arriving
- 7:20Speaker 1: at the Starlight Ball, arriving at the Commander's Ball, and
- 7:23Speaker 1: making it clear in not one, not two, but three
- 7:26Speaker 1: major speeches today that he has a mandate from the
- 7:30Speaker 1: people and he is going to enact exactly what they
- 7:33Speaker 1: have asked him to do. Let me just put this
- 7:36Speaker 1: in a perspective for you real quick. And this is
- 7:38Speaker 1: just by the numbers. President Trump's historic first day in
- 7:42Speaker 1: office had forty two executive orders, memoranda and proclamations, one
- 7:48Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen personal actions, more than two hundred executive actions,
- 7:54Speaker 1: and sixty minutes of press Q and A. Joe Biden
- 7:58Speaker 1: couldn't do that, as well as three historic speeches, with
- 8:02Speaker 1: more that came at the balls after those speeches. This
- 8:06Speaker 1: man is afraid of no one, including the media. Donald
- 8:11Speaker 1: Trump also had to deal with something else on his
- 8:14Speaker 1: first day in office that was pretty shocking, and that
- 8:17Speaker 1: was Joe Biden's final actions as president of the United
- 8:20Speaker 1: States of America. He made sure he was as selfish
- 8:24Speaker 1: as he was today. Came into office when he was
- 8:26Speaker 1: selling access to the highest bidder of the shadiest characters
- 8:30Speaker 1: in the world. The Biden crime family understood just how
- 8:33Speaker 1: valuable the presidency was. They also understood how valuable the
- 8:36Speaker 1: vice presidency was, and they made tens of millions of
- 8:40Speaker 1: dollars year after year selling access to the shadiest people
- 8:45Speaker 1: in the world. So what did Joe Biden do in
- 8:48Speaker 1: his very last moments in the Oval office. It was
- 8:51Speaker 1: nothing on behalf of the American people. It was solely
- 8:54Speaker 1: to protect the Biden crime family and the spouses of
- 8:59Speaker 1: any and all future investigations. Yes, Joe Biden knew they
- 9:03Speaker 1: were breaking the law. Yes he knew that what he
- 9:06Speaker 1: was doing was incredibly corrupt. Man, he would describe it
- 9:09Speaker 1: as impeachable offenses, But not anymore, because Joe Biden said
- 9:14Speaker 1: to the American people, here's two middle fingers as I
- 9:18Speaker 1: pardon my own family members. Now, let me also remind
- 9:21Speaker 1: you of what the corporate media said when it came
- 9:24Speaker 1: to Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden and the lies that
- 9:29Speaker 1: he told you about that decision. And this was before
- 9:33Speaker 1: he decided to pardon everybody in his family.
- 9:36Speaker 5: Presidential promise to put the law before a family, I.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Said, by the jury decision, I will do that.
- 9:43Speaker 9: And I will not part letting the world know that
- 9:46Speaker 9: he will not wipe away the decision of twelve of
- 9:48Speaker 9: his son's peers.
- 9:50Speaker 10: Was asked directly, and he has said he wouldn't pardon
- 9:53Speaker 10: his son if he gets convicted.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Let's see what happens if he loves Yeah, I mean,
- 9:58Speaker 4: but he said it. He's going to get pardoned by
- 9:59Speaker 4: his There's no question about that. The President has ruled
- 10:02Speaker 4: out pardoning his son.
- 10:04Speaker 8: Major commitment from the President, accepting the outcome of the
- 10:08Speaker 8: trial and also pledging not to pardon his son.
- 10:11Speaker 11: But the challenge for him is really to continue to
- 10:13Speaker 11: live up to his values when it was really personal,
- 10:16Speaker 11: and he did that today.
- 10:17Speaker 8: It seems like a pretty normal, straightforward answer, but it
- 10:21Speaker 8: takes new weight when we see what Trump is saying about.
- 10:23Speaker 4: The outcome of his trial.
- 10:24Speaker 8: We're hearing from other Republicans who say they don't accept
- 10:27Speaker 8: the jury's verdict here in New York.
- 10:28Speaker 12: The contrast is profound to sit there and say, well,
- 10:31Speaker 12: I'm not going to intervene in the legal process and
- 10:33Speaker 12: I wouldn't pardon my son one side, Democrats and Joe
- 10:37Speaker 12: Biden protecting the justice system, and on the other Republicans
- 10:41Speaker 12: and Trump protecting Trump.
- 10:42Speaker 10: The current president of the United States has so much
- 10:46Speaker 10: respect for the law that he has said he would
- 10:49Speaker 10: not pardon his son. I mean, what you know, again,
- 10:53Speaker 10: it's all about the contrast.
- 10:55Speaker 7: President Biden saying I will respect whatever this jury decides
- 10:59Speaker 7: versus Donald trum On Pepper. He was convicted on thirty
- 11:01Speaker 7: four counts saying the entire system is rigged against him.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Their latest attack has been that Joe Biden has politicized
- 11:08Speaker 5: and weaponized.
- 11:09Speaker 4: The DOJ right.
- 11:10Speaker 5: That was the whole argument around Donald Trump's conviction. This week,
- 11:14Speaker 5: of course, Hunter Biden was found guilty, and Joe Biden
- 11:17Speaker 5: has very clearly said he would not pardon his son,
- 11:20Speaker 5: he would not commute his sentence. How stark is this difference?
- 11:25Speaker 5: I mean, how can Republicans keep making this argument? Now
- 11:27Speaker 5: that note, now that Joe Biden has really put it.
- 11:29Speaker 4: Out there, where's Hunter?
- 11:33Speaker 5: And he stood there in the courtroom flanked by his family,
- 11:35Speaker 5: and he's accepted his sentence.
- 11:37Speaker 13: He is not pardoning his son, which he could do.
- 11:41Speaker 13: These are federal charges. He is not doing that. He
- 11:44Speaker 13: is not doing it because he is living what it
- 11:47Speaker 13: means to have a rule of law in this country,
- 11:50Speaker 13: and that is it is. I mean, if you want
- 11:52Speaker 13: to know if he believes it, you could actually see
- 11:56Speaker 13: what is happening with his own son.
- 12:00Speaker 9: And Anderson has been really clear that he is going
- 12:03Speaker 9: to accept the outcome of the trial no matter what happens.
- 12:06Speaker 9: So Joe Biden's gotten asked about, you know, talking about
- 12:09Speaker 9: LNE order. He's gotten asked if he would pardon his son,
- 12:12Speaker 9: he has said no. On the other side, you've got
- 12:14Speaker 9: Donald Trump, who has said that he will pardon the
- 12:17Speaker 9: January sixth insurrectionism. They're not even his sons, They're just
- 12:21Speaker 9: sons of bitches.
- 12:21Speaker 13: Washington said, I am not running again because he understood
- 12:25Speaker 13: the self restraint was absolutely essential to this country.
- 12:29Speaker 4: So you don't have a king. He did not pardon
- 12:31Speaker 4: his son.
- 12:32Speaker 13: He did not order the Department of Justice to say,
- 12:35Speaker 13: don't prosecute my son.
- 12:37Speaker 4: So impressive could have ordered.
- 12:39Speaker 11: The Justice Department to halt the prosecution of Hunter Biden.
- 12:42Speaker 11: According to Discourt, everyone understands he's a decent man.
- 12:45Speaker 14: I think Joe Biden has a chance here to stand
- 12:48Speaker 14: up for the role of law, to say the rule,
- 12:50Speaker 14: the law is the law, no matter who it is,
- 12:52Speaker 14: no matter if it's Trump or Biden.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And remember, part of.
- 12:56Speaker 14: Trump ISM's dangerousness is that it tears down institutions, important
- 13:01Speaker 14: institutions of our democracy. So there is an opportunity here
- 13:04Speaker 14: for Biden to say, you know, the jury found him guilty.
- 13:08Speaker 14: This is how it's supposed to work. Period paragraph end
- 13:12Speaker 14: of store.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Have you all of these people in the media knew
- 13:16Speaker 1: they were lying to you, They knew that they were
- 13:20Speaker 1: being scumbacks, they knew that they were selling you propaganda.
- 13:25Speaker 1: And even in the one on one interview with Joe
- 13:28Speaker 1: Biden with David Muir, right, the guy that makes sure
- 13:32Speaker 1: that his jacket when he's covering wildfires in California is
- 13:35Speaker 1: tapered with clothes pins just so he has a nice
- 13:38Speaker 1: skinny waist. That guy, when he was talking to Joe
- 13:42Speaker 1: Biden said this.
- 13:44Speaker 4: The pardon for your son.
- 13:46Speaker 11: Yes, as I said last week, I will accept the
- 13:48Speaker 11: outcome of this case and will continue to respect the
- 13:51Speaker 11: judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. You know, the
- 13:54Speaker 11: President said he won't touch it.
- 13:55Speaker 4: He said he's not going to pardon his son.
- 13:58Speaker 11: And it seems that Mayor Garland let it go through.
- 14:00Speaker 11: So how can the Justice Department be weaponized against Trump
- 14:03Speaker 11: when all of that is happening.
- 14:04Speaker 4: But Democrats stand for the rule of law, Remember, law
- 14:06Speaker 4: and order.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Democrats stand for the rule of law, law and order,
- 14:11Speaker 1: all right, So that's what the media did to lie
- 14:14Speaker 1: to you before the election. They said that Donald Trump
- 14:17Speaker 1: would never have the integrity to do what Joe Biden
- 14:20Speaker 1: would do, which was to you know, respect law and
- 14:24Speaker 1: order to make sure that there was law and order.
- 14:28Speaker 1: So now let me just also remind you after that
- 14:31Speaker 1: big lie from the media, the lie that the media
- 14:34Speaker 1: told back in twenty twenty about Donald Trump. They were
- 14:38Speaker 1: saying that Donald Trump was going to pardon his family members,
- 14:42Speaker 1: and they said that giving out preemptive pardons was evil
- 14:47Speaker 1: and against the rule of law in America and should
- 14:50Speaker 1: never ever happen. That was their standard. How do we
- 14:52Speaker 1: know this because we've got a montage of elected officials
- 14:55Speaker 1: in the media saying exactly that that no one should
- 14:59Speaker 1: ever be giving out preemptive pardons because if you do that,
- 15:03Speaker 1: that means you're admitting guilt and that laws were broken,
- 15:06Speaker 1: and that bad people are getting pardons around you. This
- 15:10Speaker 1: was the entire conversation around Donald Trumph He's leaving office,
- 15:13Speaker 1: a fake story for the media claiming Trump was going
- 15:16Speaker 1: to pardon preemptively a bunch of different people. The same
- 15:19Speaker 1: thing actually that they accused Trump of doing, which he
- 15:23Speaker 1: never did, is literally what Joe Biden did today, but
- 15:27Speaker 1: even more discussing that he did it for all of
- 15:31Speaker 1: his family members and their spouses. Take a listen.
- 15:35Speaker 11: Ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon? Who was
- 15:38Speaker 11: innocent of all crime? Who's just an innocent person? Have
- 15:42Speaker 11: you ever heard of that? Just somebody getting a blanket
- 15:44Speaker 11: pardon and they're an innocent person.
- 15:46Speaker 4: But no, it's the president's own family.
- 15:50Speaker 7: It's people that have been covering up for the president
- 15:53Speaker 7: in addition to his own family.
- 15:55Speaker 15: Is there an innocent explanation for someone to seek preemptive
- 16:01Speaker 15: pardons for family members? Would you do that if you
- 16:06Speaker 15: knew you were innocent and just worried about outside forces?
- 16:12Speaker 13: The answer to that is going to be no, If
- 16:15Speaker 13: you haven't done anything wrong, you sit there and go,
- 16:17Speaker 13: what do you need a preemptive pardon for?
- 16:20Speaker 16: If he pardons people preemptively, he's essentially telling the public
- 16:25Speaker 16: that these people have committed crimes and we may not
- 16:28Speaker 16: be aware of what they are, but the pardon is
- 16:31Speaker 16: clear evidence that crimes have been committed.
- 16:33Speaker 17: I imagine if he decide to issue these preemptive pardons,
- 16:38Speaker 17: it will be cast in a way that he's protecting
- 16:40Speaker 17: his family and protecting their reputations from villainous exterior forces
- 16:45Speaker 17: that are against him.
- 16:46Speaker 18: First off, we should just take a deep breath and
- 16:49Speaker 18: acknowledge the audacity of a president who's so clearly concerned
- 16:54Speaker 18: about his own criminal culpability and that of his family
- 16:58Speaker 18: members that pardons, they are a major obsession with him.
- 17:02Speaker 19: The idea of a kind of prospective pardon, this sort
- 17:04Speaker 19: of permanent federal get out of jail free card, that
- 17:08Speaker 19: seems to me what we're talking about in the case
- 17:10Speaker 19: of this right with Juliani and his three eldest children,
- 17:12Speaker 19: who as.
- 17:13Speaker 4: Far as we know, don't have not been convicted of
- 17:15Speaker 4: a crime. Maybe they've committed a lot and.
- 17:18Speaker 19: They don't want to face action.
- 17:20Speaker 4: I don't know, it's weird. I wouldn't ask for a pardon.
- 17:23Speaker 4: I don't think I deserve.
- 17:24Speaker 13: One because I don't think I've done anything criminal.
- 17:26Speaker 4: But like, where does that come from?
- 17:28Speaker 19: That concept that you can just kind of wave your
- 17:30Speaker 19: magic pardon one.
- 17:31Speaker 4: We have to James, we have savior for Sera. Mimi
- 17:34Speaker 4: Rocan is literally my pay and my talent.
- 17:37Speaker 11: There will be opportunities to prosecute these people regardless if
- 17:42Speaker 11: they if they abuse the pardon power as they are thinking.
- 17:46Speaker 7: Hopefully, Ellie, there will be a skyfall on this entire crime.
- 17:49Speaker 19: Family and there will be another day for them to die.
- 17:52Speaker 10: President does indeed pardon let's say Rudy Giuliani or any
- 17:56Speaker 10: members of his family.
- 17:58Speaker 4: Would you see that?
- 17:59Speaker 11: And I asked pret Perrara this question as essentially an
- 18:02Speaker 11: admission of guilt.
- 18:05Speaker 4: I certainly would view it that way. I think millions
- 18:07Speaker 4: of Americans would do it that way.
- 18:09Speaker 7: If there was no belief in criminality, why would he
- 18:12Speaker 7: think a pardon was necessary?
- 18:14Speaker 17: And his learn President Biden will pardon his son Hunter
- 18:17Speaker 17: fid So.
- 18:18Speaker 1: To be clear, the corporate media lied to you yet again.
- 18:22Speaker 1: They lied to you about Hunter Biden. They lied to
- 18:24Speaker 1: you about January sixth, and now they're lying to you
- 18:27Speaker 1: about their standards on preemptive pardons. Get ready, folks, because
- 18:31Speaker 1: they're going to be lying to you for the next
- 18:33Speaker 1: four years and attacking Donald Trump every chance they get.
- 18:38Speaker 1: All Right, Lastly, I want to do something that's just
- 18:41Speaker 1: really cool. And we've talked a lot about what Donald
- 18:43Speaker 1: Trump says he's going to do, but if you miss
- 18:46Speaker 1: what he said after he was sworn into office, I
- 18:50Speaker 1: want to play it for you because I do think
- 18:52Speaker 1: it truly is a blueprint for what is future of
- 18:56Speaker 1: his administration looks like and how it's going to affect
- 18:59Speaker 1: all of our life. Donald Trump said a lot of things.
- 19:02Speaker 1: He was going to do, a lot of them very important,
- 19:04Speaker 1: and I want you to hear them as he described
- 19:07Speaker 1: them to the American people.
- 19:09Speaker 2: The Golden Age of America begins right now. From this
- 19:21Speaker 2: day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again
- 19:25Speaker 2: all over the world. We will be the envy of
- 19:28Speaker 2: every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be
- 19:32Speaker 2: taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of
- 19:37Speaker 2: the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored,
- 19:59Speaker 2: the scales of Jeff Justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent,
- 20:04Speaker 2: and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government
- 20:09Speaker 2: will end, and our top priority will be to create
- 20:20Speaker 2: a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will
- 20:31Speaker 2: soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I returned to the presidency confident and optimistic that we
- 20:46Speaker 2: are at the start of a thrilling new era of
- 20:49Speaker 2: national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has
- 20:58Speaker 2: the chance to seize the opportunity like never before. But
- 21:03Speaker 2: first we must be honest about the challenges we face.
- 21:07Speaker 2: While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this
- 21:10Speaker 2: great momentum that the world is now witnessing. In the
- 21:14Speaker 2: United States of America, as we gather today, our government
- 21:18Speaker 2: confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, a radical
- 21:22Speaker 2: and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens,
- 21:27Speaker 2: while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly
- 21:31Speaker 2: incomplete disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage
- 21:36Speaker 2: even a simple crisis at home, while at the same
- 21:39Speaker 2: time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
- 21:45Speaker 2: It fails to protect our magnificent, law abidying American citizens,
- 21:50Speaker 2: but provide sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from
- 21:55Speaker 2: prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country
- 21:59Speaker 2: from all over the world. We have a government that
- 22:03Speaker 2: has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders,
- 22:07Speaker 2: but refuses to defend American borders, or, more importantly, its
- 22:12Speaker 2: own people. Our country can no longer deliver basic services
- 22:17Speaker 2: in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful
- 22:22Speaker 2: people of North Carolina have been treated so badly, and
- 22:31Speaker 2: other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that
- 22:34Speaker 2: took place many months ago, or more recently, Los Angeles,
- 22:38Speaker 2: where we are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks
- 22:43Speaker 2: ago without even a token of defense. They're raging through
- 22:48Speaker 2: the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest
- 22:52Speaker 2: and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom
- 22:55Speaker 2: are sitting here right now. They don't have a home
- 22:58Speaker 2: any longer. That's interesting, but we can't let this happen.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Everyone is unable to do anything about it. That's going
- 23:09Speaker 2: to change. We have a public health system that does
- 23:12Speaker 2: not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is
- 23:15Speaker 2: spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.
- 23:19Speaker 2: And we have an education system that teaches our children
- 23:22Speaker 2: to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate
- 23:25Speaker 2: our country despite the love that we try so desperately
- 23:29Speaker 2: to provide to them. All of this will change starting today,
- 23:35Speaker 2: and it will change very quickly. My recent election is
- 23:49Speaker 2: a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal,
- 23:55Speaker 2: and all of these many betrayals that have taken place
- 24:00Speaker 2: give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy,
- 24:05Speaker 2: and indeed their freedom. From this moment, on America's decline
- 24:12Speaker 2: is over. Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will
- 24:27Speaker 2: no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
- 24:33Speaker 2: and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years,
- 24:37Speaker 2: I have been tested and challenged more than any president
- 24:40Speaker 2: in our two hundred and fifty year history, and I've
- 24:44Speaker 2: learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim
- 24:48Speaker 2: our republic has not been an easy one, that I
- 24:52Speaker 2: can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause
- 24:56Speaker 2: have tried to take my freedom and to take my
- 25:01Speaker 2: life just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania
- 25:06Speaker 2: field and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I
- 25:11Speaker 2: felt then, and believe even more so now, that my
- 25:14Speaker 2: life was saved for a reason. I was saved by
- 25:18Speaker 2: God to make America great again.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
- 25:52Speaker 2: That is why each day, under our administration of American Patriots,
- 25:58Speaker 2: we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity
- 26:02Speaker 2: and power and strength. We will move with purpose and
- 26:06Speaker 2: speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for
- 26:10Speaker 2: citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed for American citizens.
- 26:18Speaker 2: January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day. It is
- 26:33Speaker 2: my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered
- 26:37Speaker 2: as the greatest and most consequential election in the history
- 26:40Speaker 2: of our country. As our victory showed, the entire nation
- 26:45Speaker 2: is rapidly unifying behind our agenda, with dramatic increases in
- 26:49Speaker 2: support from virtually every element of our society, young and old,
- 26:54Speaker 2: men and women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, in suburban, rural,
- 27:01Speaker 2: and very importantly, we had a powerful win in all
- 27:05Speaker 2: seven swing states, and the popular vote we won by
- 27:09Speaker 2: millions of people to the black and Hispanic communities. I
- 27:19Speaker 2: want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love
- 27:22Speaker 2: and trust that you have shown me. With your vote,
- 27:27Speaker 2: we set records and I will not forget it. I've
- 27:31Speaker 2: heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward
- 27:34Speaker 2: to working with you in the years to come. Today
- 27:38Speaker 2: is Martin Luther King.
- 27:39Speaker 3: Day and his honor.
- 27:41Speaker 2: This will be a great honor, but in his honor,
- 27:44Speaker 2: we will strive together to make his dream a reality.
- 27:49Speaker 2: We will make his dream come true. A national unim
- 28:13Speaker 2: is now returning to America, and confidence and pride is
- 28:18Speaker 2: soaring like never before. In everything we do, my administration
- 28:23Speaker 2: will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and
- 28:27Speaker 2: unrelenting success. We will not forget our country, we will
- 28:31Speaker 2: not forget our constitution, and we will not forget our
- 28:37Speaker 2: God can't do that. Today, I will sign a series
- 28:52Speaker 2: of historic executive orders. With these actions, we will begin
- 28:57Speaker 2: the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense.
- 29:03Speaker 2: It's all about common sense. First, I will declare a
- 29:10Speaker 2: national emergency at our southern border. All illegal entry will
- 29:41Speaker 2: immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of
- 29:45Speaker 2: returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the
- 29:49Speaker 2: places from which they came. We will reinstate my remain
- 29:55Speaker 2: in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch
- 30:05Speaker 2: and release, and I will send troops to the southern
- 30:12Speaker 2: border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country. Under
- 30:22Speaker 2: the orders I signed today, we will also be designating
- 30:27Speaker 2: the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and by invoking the
- 30:49Speaker 2: Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight, I will direct
- 30:55Speaker 2: our government to use the full and immense power of
- 30:58Speaker 2: federal and state law enforcements to eliminate the presence of
- 31:01Speaker 2: all foreign gangs and criminal networks, bringing devastating crime to
- 31:08Speaker 2: US soil, including our cities and inner cities. As Commander
- 31:20Speaker 2: in Chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend
- 31:23Speaker 2: our country from threats and invasions, and that is exactly
- 31:27Speaker 2: what I am going to do. We will do it
- 31:30Speaker 2: at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Next, I
- 31:34Speaker 2: will direct all members of my Cabinet to marshall the
- 31:37Speaker 2: vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record
- 31:41Speaker 2: inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices. The inflation
- 31:53Speaker 2: crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices,
- 31:58Speaker 2: and that is why today I will also declare a
- 32:02Speaker 2: national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill. America will
- 32:28Speaker 2: be a manufacturing nation once again. And we have something
- 32:32Speaker 2: that no other manufacturing nation will ever have the largest
- 32:35Speaker 2: amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth,
- 32:39Speaker 2: and we are going to use it. Let me use it.
- 32:46Speaker 2: We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up
- 32:51Speaker 2: again right to the top, and export American energy all
- 32:55Speaker 2: over the world. We will be a rich nation again,
- 33:04Speaker 2: and it is that liquid gold under our feet that
- 33:08Speaker 2: will help to do it. With my actions today, we
- 33:11Speaker 2: will end the Green New Deal, and we will revoke
- 33:14Speaker 2: the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping
- 33:19Speaker 2: my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers. In
- 33:35Speaker 2: other words, you'll be able to buy the car of
- 33:39Speaker 2: your choice. We will build automobiles in America again at
- 33:43Speaker 2: a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a
- 33:46Speaker 2: few years ago. And thank you to the auto workers
- 33:50Speaker 2: of our nation for your inspiring vote of confidence. We
- 33:54Speaker 2: did tremendously with their vote. I will immediately begin the
- 34:01Speaker 2: overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we
- 34:11Speaker 2: will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.
- 34:22Speaker 2: For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service
- 34:31Speaker 2: to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenues. It will be
- 34:35Speaker 2: massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury coming from
- 34:41Speaker 2: foreign sources. The American dream will soon be back and
- 34:44Speaker 2: thriving like never before. To restore competence and effectiveness to
- 34:49Speaker 2: our federal government, my administration will establish the brand new
- 34:54Speaker 2: Department of Government Efficiency. After years and years of illegal
- 35:12Speaker 2: and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will
- 35:16Speaker 2: also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government
- 35:21Speaker 2: censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again
- 35:43Speaker 2: will the immense power of the state be weaponized to
- 35:46Speaker 2: persecute political opponents something I know something about. We will
- 35:53Speaker 2: not allow that to happen. It will not happen again.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Under my leadership. We will restore fair, equal and partial
- 36:00Speaker 2: justice under the constitutional rule of law, and we are
- 36:09Speaker 2: going to bring law and order back to our cities.
- 36:18Speaker 2: This week, I will also end the government policy of
- 36:22Speaker 2: trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect
- 36:27Speaker 2: of public and private life. We will forge a society
- 36:38Speaker 2: that is color blind and merit based. As of today,
- 36:50Speaker 2: it will henceforth be the official policy of the United
- 36:53Speaker 2: States Government that there are only two genders, male and female.
- 37:16Speaker 2: This week, I will reinstate any service members who were
- 37:20Speaker 2: unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID
- 37:23Speaker 2: vaccine mandate with full back pay. And I will sign
- 37:39Speaker 2: in order to stop our warriors from being subjected to
- 37:43Speaker 2: radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It's
- 37:48Speaker 2: going to end immediately. Our armed forces will be free
- 37:55Speaker 2: to focus on their soul mission, defeating America's enemies. Like
- 38:27Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, we will again build the strongest military
- 38:31Speaker 2: the world has ever seen. We will measure our success
- 38:35Speaker 2: not only by the battles we win, but also by
- 38:39Speaker 2: the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the
- 38:42Speaker 2: wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be
- 39:06Speaker 2: that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want
- 39:10Speaker 2: to be, a peacemaker and a unifier. I'm pleased to
- 39:14Speaker 2: say that, as of yesterday, one day before I assumed office,
- 39:19Speaker 2: the hostages in the Middle East are coming back home
- 39:23Speaker 2: to their families.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 39:45Speaker 2: America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful,
- 39:50Speaker 2: most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration
- 39:55Speaker 2: of the entire world. A short time from now, we
- 39:59Speaker 2: are going to be changing the name of the Gulf
- 40:02Speaker 2: of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and we will
- 40:06Speaker 2: restore the name of a great President, William McKinley to
- 40:13Speaker 2: Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.
- 40:25Speaker 2: President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and
- 40:30Speaker 2: through talent. He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy
- 40:35Speaker 2: Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did,
- 40:38Speaker 2: including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to
- 40:43Speaker 2: the country of Panama after the United States. The United States,
- 40:47Speaker 2: I mean, think of this, spent more money than ever
- 40:51Speaker 2: spent on a project before, and lost thirty eight thousand
- 40:55Speaker 2: lives in the building of the Panama Canal. Been treated
- 41:00Speaker 2: very badly from this foolish gift that should have never
- 41:03Speaker 2: been made, and Panama's promised to us has been broken.
- 41:09Speaker 2: The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our
- 41:12Speaker 2: treaty has been totally violated. American ships are being severely
- 41:17Speaker 2: overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form,
- 41:23Speaker 2: and that includes the United States Navy. And above all,
- 41:27Speaker 2: China is operating the Panama Canal, and we didn't give
- 41:31Speaker 2: it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we're
- 41:34Speaker 2: taking it back. Above all, my message to Americans today
- 41:56Speaker 2: is that it is time for us to once again
- 41:58Speaker 2: act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history's greatest civilization.
- 42:05Speaker 2: So as we liberate our nation, we will lead it
- 42:08Speaker 2: to new heights of victory and success. We will not
- 42:12Speaker 2: be deterred. Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic
- 42:17Speaker 2: and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease free. The
- 42:21Speaker 2: United States will once again consider itself a growing nation,
- 42:26Speaker 2: one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities,
- 42:31Speaker 2: raises our expectations, and carries our flag into new and
- 42:35Speaker 2: beautiful horizons. And we will pursue our manifest destiny into
- 42:40Speaker 2: the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and
- 42:45Speaker 2: stripes on the planet Mars. Ambition is the lifeblood of
- 43:10Speaker 2: a great nation, and right now our nation is more
- 43:14Speaker 2: ambitious than any other. There is no nation like our nation.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneers. The spirit
- 43:26Speaker 2: of the frontier is written into our hearts. The call
- 43:30Speaker 2: of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on
- 43:41Speaker 2: the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic
- 43:45Speaker 2: of the most extraordinary citizens on Earth. No one comes close.
- 43:51Speaker 2: Americans push thousands of miles through a rugged land of
- 43:55Speaker 2: untamed wilderness. They cross desert, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers,
- 44:02Speaker 2: won the wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny,
- 44:07Speaker 2: lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched
- 44:13Speaker 2: mankind into the heavens, and put the universe of human
- 44:17Speaker 2: knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we
- 44:22Speaker 2: work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no
- 44:25Speaker 2: dream we cannot achieve. Many people thought it was impossible
- 44:30Speaker 2: for me to stage such a historic political comeback, But
- 44:35Speaker 2: as you see today here I am the American people
- 44:38Speaker 2: have spoken.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Now all the data that I just gave you, I'm
- 44:48Speaker 1: going to ask you to share it on social media.
- 44:50Speaker 1: I'm going to ask to share it with your family
- 44:52Speaker 1: and your friends. We do this show every day on
- 44:55Speaker 1: social media, so make sure again grab it, dowad it,
- 44:59Speaker 1: and if you get to see our videos on social media,
- 45:01Speaker 1: please share them because as you know that, the big
- 45:05Speaker 1: tech suppresses everything we do here.
- 45:08Speaker 2: And I'll see you back here tomorrow.
