If you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before. | |
| Don't sit yet. | ||
| I feel like this. | ||
| Socialists, globalists, Marxists, communists who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant they have awoken. | ||
| They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women. | ||
| But they're going to find out the hard way. | ||
| They will find out like never before. | ||
| This nation belongs to you. | ||
| Belongs to me. | ||
| It was patriots like you that built this country. | ||
| And it's patriots like you that are going to save our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land. | |
| Hear these words from me tonight. | ||
| The people of America will... | ||
| We will not surrender our We are done with their distorted visions for America. | ||
| It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We want our country to be great again. | |
| We want our country to be respected The time for action has come As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, | ||
| then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America We'll be right | ||
| back. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did, and the things we fought for, and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain. | ||
| Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket. | ||
| We haven't got the country we had when I was raised. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Nobody will have the fun I have. | ||
| Nobody will have the opportunity I have. | ||
| Jesus is the way and the life and the King of Israel. | ||
| We just leave with love. | ||
| We're really at a crossroads here. | ||
| Look around you. | ||
| It's drag queens in schools. | ||
| It's 18-year-olds joining OnlyFans. | ||
| It's the filth on TikTok. | ||
| It's this country not having a border. | ||
| It's the idea that our kids... | ||
| And we, this generation, are never going to own anything. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| Never making an income to support a family. | ||
| Never being able to have a family. | ||
| People being corrupted before they're even a teenager by things on their phone. | ||
| Sick addiction to technology. | ||
| The future is so bleak. | ||
| But that has changed the calculation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God is using me. | |
| He's breaking me down, removing all of the, you know, richest person, all of this, so I can serve him. | ||
| I think they've been extremely unfair to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who is they, though? | |
| We can't tell you who they is, can we? | ||
| There is no future if we do nothing now. | ||
| There is nothing to lose. | ||
| People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever-shrinking share of what they have. | ||
| are foolish. | ||
| It's all going. | ||
| It's all going away. | ||
| This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted. | ||
| We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated. | ||
| And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see. | ||
| People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience. | ||
| And tell the truth and do the right thing. | ||
| People have got to start to get courageous. | ||
| And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country. | ||
| And the alternative is that there will be no country. | ||
| Is it really only as big as low gas prices? | ||
| Is it really only so big as... | ||
| Bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down. | ||
| It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better. | ||
| It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ. | ||
| My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue. | ||
| It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see. | ||
| And then finally, a point of no return reckoning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why are you called Mommy Malkin? | |
| I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groeper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement, who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement. | ||
| America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. | ||
| These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit. | ||
| Believe me, it's for their benefit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now. | |
| My soul and exclusive mission is to go to work. | ||
| For you, it's time to deliver a victory for the American people. | ||
| We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again. | ||
| So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight. | ||
| I am with you. | ||
| I will fight for you. | ||
| And I will win for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Saying to me, he's like, this is probably pretty cool for you. | |
| I'm like, yeah, it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey. | |
| Make up and turn around. | ||
| Hands on the ground. | ||
| Make up and turn around. | ||
| The courageous fallen the anguished fallen their lives have meaning because we the living refuse to forget them and as we ride to certain death we trust our successors to do the sin for us Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world! | ||
| My soldiers push forward! | ||
| My soldiers scream out! | ||
| My soldiers rage! | ||
| I can't see a damn thing, thank God. | ||
| I can't see a damn thing, thank God. | ||
| They like Steven. | ||
| They can't see me. | ||
| They won't beat me. | ||
| I'm in that guinea. | ||
| You can't go back to the past. | ||
| That's what people always say, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They say, can we really go back? | |
| And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right when you're left-wing, the answer is no. | ||
| We're never going back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's gone. | |
| It's gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All of that is gone. | |
| But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead, because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived. | ||
| Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on Earth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth. | |
| We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth. | ||
| We love everybody. | ||
| And we want people that can burn really more than anybody. | ||
| But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our movement is to make this country a Christian country. | |
| The mission is to create a Christian future in our time. | ||
| The only way we're gonna do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do. | ||
| The only way that we're gonna make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian. | ||
| That's the only way. | ||
| We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ. | ||
| We have to want it more than they do. | ||
| Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us. | ||
| and nothing more. | ||
| The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference. | |
| Nothing worth doing ever came easy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. | |
| The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what. | ||
| The critics say we must always remember that we share one home and one glorious destiny. | ||
| We all bleed the same red blood of patriots. | ||
| We all salute the same great American flag. | ||
| Our best days are yet to come. | ||
| I am officially running for president of the United States. | ||
| We need a leader. | ||
| I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. | ||
| It can be wonderful if you have smart people, but we have people that are stupid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The American dream is dead. | |
| But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before. | ||
| The American dream. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| We will make America great again. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| We will make America great again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are now. | |
| We are now. | ||
| America great again. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
America great again. | |
| We will make America great again. | ||
| America great again. | ||
| We will make America great again. | ||

|
It's not cool to share for big business. | |
| It's not cool to share for Israel. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| It's not cool to share for big business. | ||
| I fear and love God. | ||
| When you remove the fear and love, you create the fear and love of everything else. | ||
| You talking to somebody right now that only fears God, Jesus has won victory, bro. | ||
| This is a Christian nation. | ||
| This is a miracle. | ||
| This is a miracle. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy, and more importantly, hire Americans. | ||
| But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them. | ||
| I cannot support this. | ||
| And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this. | ||
| It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants. | ||
| And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country. | ||
| Ask yourself this. | ||
| If not Donald Trump, if not now, then when? | ||
| So they may say mass deportations. | ||
| They may say illegal immigration. | ||
| It's not enough. | ||
| It's not enough. | ||
| And Americans need to get used to saying that. | ||
| Native Americans never get what they ask for because they're always telling themselves and negotiating with themselves. | ||
| Telling us it's good enough. | ||
| We need to hear the words immigration moratorium. | ||
| No more immigrants. | ||
| No more. | ||
| Not since he announced his reelection campaign in November 2022 have I told anybody to vote for Trump. | ||
| When pushed for details on the policy, clearly. | ||
| They're repeating the same script as every other Republican, and they show that they're really not serious about mass deportations. | ||
| For that reason, I actually don't believe that illegal immigration will fall to historic lows. | ||
| And this is your America First policy. | ||
| We need the people. | ||
| We need limitless green cards. | ||
| And by the way, once they come in, you can't deport them. | ||
| So people, when confronted with this reality, first they said it was a throwaway remark. | ||
| They said he didn't really mean it. | ||
| Well, he's doubled down on it many times. | ||
| He doubled down on it in June, August, last week. | ||
| Now they say, well, so what? | ||
| Even if he means it, he's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo. | |
| It's going to be only America first. | ||
| America first. | ||
| first. | ||
| The American people will come first once again. | ||
| With respect, the respect that we deserve. | ||
| From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. | ||
| America first. | ||
| Good morning, everybody. | ||
| You are watching America First. | ||
| My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes. | ||
| We have a big day today. | ||
| We are going to be watching and reacting live to the second inauguration of President Donald Trump. | ||
| And it's good to be back with you. | ||
| This is my first stream back here since 2024. So I hope everybody had a great holiday. | ||
| Merry Christmas. | ||
| Happy New Year. | ||
| I hope everybody's off to a great start. | ||
| And we're starting off strong, locking in with a massive stream. | ||
| We're going to be watching the inauguration ceremony, which includes the inauguration of the president, his speech. | ||
| And then it also actually includes, for people that have not been following how this schedule has been evolving over the past few days, There is also an event at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where apparently President Trump is hosting an event and is expected to sign executive orders. | ||
| So this whole day has kind of been a little chaotic and a little bit in flux. | ||
| They're not hosting the inauguration at the Capitol building outside. | ||
| They say because of the weather, although many people speculate it's because of security concerns. | ||
| Instead, they're hosting it inside the Capitol Rotunda, where there's a significantly limited audience. | ||
| I believe it's only 750 people in attendance. | ||
| They canceled the inaugural parade. | ||
| And instead, it seems they're opting for an indoor event at the Capital One Arena, hockey arena. | ||
| I think it's Capital One, but it's their hockey arena. | ||
| And he's expected to do something over there. | ||
| I'm not even entirely sure. | ||
| They're doing a watch party there right now, which was supposed to have been canceled, but apparently is back on. | ||
| So we're watching here. | ||
| I'm watching here from the studio. | ||
| Like I said, it's my first stream back in a long time. | ||
| So welcome back to the channel. | ||
| Good to be back with you. | ||
| And I hope you've all been well. | ||
| I took a little break. | ||
| I took a little vacation. | ||
| After some unfortunate situations. | ||
| But I'm healthy, I'm alive, and I'm safe, and I'm locked in, ready for another year. | ||
| So we're going to dive in. | ||
| We're going to tune in. | ||
| It looks like they're getting ready here. | ||
| Everybody's making their entrance. | ||
| We see here the Trump family, former President Bill Clinton, Supreme Court justices. | ||
| So we're going to tune in. | ||
| I'm going to turn our volume on here, and we'll... | ||
| Get ready for the president. | ||
| He should be coming out any minute now. | ||
| Let's take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The eyes and ears for the White House in the Senate, the place that he comes from, of course, leading the charge on issues like the border and immigration. | |
| These are huge, huge priorities for the incoming administration. | ||
| Same when it comes to the opioid crisis. | ||
| And Vance has obviously a very personal connection to that. | ||
| This will be, you know, he's talked a lot about his roots in Abilene. | ||
| That's the new Trump, right? | ||
| Okay, so they're just blabbing. | ||
| Okay, well, we could do that. | ||
| Look at Barron. | ||
| There's Barron Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's huge! | |
| They say he's, what, 6'9"? | ||
| 6'9"? | ||
| Elon Musk. | ||
| Is that Sundar Pichai? | ||
| Howard Lutnik in between them right there. | ||
| That's their envoy to the Middle East. | ||
| RFK Jr., Jeff Bezos, Don Jr. Then you got Jared Kushner and Ivanka, Eric Trump. | ||
| Who's that? | ||
| I don't know who that is. | ||
| Lara Trump, Scott Besant, Marco Rubio. | ||
| So everybody is in attendance. | ||
| Like I said, this is a smaller group. | ||
| Obviously, if they had it outside at the Capitol building, or I should say in front of the Capitol, they're inside the Capitol building. | ||
| If they had it in front of the Capitol building, it was expected to be many thousands of people, but instead they're limited to 750. Inside the rotunda. | ||
| And it really is sort of an anomaly. | ||
| They say that they moved the inauguration inside again because of the weather. | ||
| But if you check the weather, it's not that cold in D.C. It's like 25 degrees, which is cold, but it's not that cold. | ||
| It was around roughly the same temperature, I believe, when Barack Obama was inaugurated, which is what some liberals are saying. | ||
| So instead, people say that it was actually out of concern for Trump's security. | ||
| And people have noted that there were a number of other anomalies as well. | ||
| It was announced late last week that the inauguration would be moved inside the rotunda, but there were rumors up until this morning that it would be held inside the White House, which would be completely unprecedented. | ||
| They also expanded the security perimeter in the district. | ||
| So the whole city is on lockdown. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| And Mr. Bruce Fisher. | ||
| These are folks who have done yeoman's work in scrambling to move this inauguration and these proceedings indoors. | ||
| You got to think their weekend was pretty frantic for sure. | ||
| Think about this a moment. | ||
| Okay, or maybe not. | ||
| Well, I think this is it. | ||
| I think he's about to enter now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| One big question is what becomes of the first, second gentleman? | ||
| The first, second gentleman? | ||
| It's over for him. | ||
| What comes next? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| She tried. | ||
| Imagine being Kamala. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's the biggest loser in all this. | |
| Biden is not even the biggest loser. | ||
| Because he said he would only serve one term. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everybody knows he's too old. | |
| He got in. | ||
| He served one term. | ||
| He got to be president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| Trump wins this landslide victory. | ||
| She's the big loser. | ||
| She was supposed to be the first black female president. | ||
| They made this move to put her on top of the ticket. | ||
| And not only did she lose, but it was like the most historic loss ever for a Democrat. | ||
| It's like the most historic loss for a Democrat in 40 years, maybe even 100 years, depending on how you measure it. | ||
| Obviously, Reagan won a landslide. | ||
| Nixon won a landslide. | ||
| But when you look at county by county, every single county shifted to the right. | ||
| That's something that hasn't happened in 100 years. | ||
| She lost to Donald Trump after he stormed the Capitol. | ||
| This is the same Capitol that Trump supporters raided four years ago. | ||
| He's a convicted felon. | ||
| He was the first convicted felon insurrectionist to run and then win. | ||
| And not only win, but win in an historic landslide. | ||
| Actually expand his electoral victory from 2016. And first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years. | ||
| So she's like the biggest loser of all time. | ||
| And they're asking what's next for her husband? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| There is no next. | ||
| That's the end, politically. | ||
| And same for her. | ||
| They say that she's going to try and make a comeback. | ||
| That's the rumor. | ||
| The Democrats are saying that she's going to try and make her way back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How's that going to happen? | |
| I don't think so. | ||
| Dude, look at him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude, look, he's seething. | |
| He can barely talk. | ||
| Yeah, he's dying inside. | ||
| Not only is he not going to be the first man, but he's going to watch this convicted felon, insurrectionist, wannabe Hitler rapist swear the oath of office and become president for another four years. | ||
| Like, it's hard not to love that. | ||
| And look, don't get me wrong. | ||
| I didn't vote for Trump. | ||
| I didn't want, honestly, I didn't really want him to win, if I'm being honest. | ||
| I kind of did. | ||
| I went back and forth. | ||
| You know, I was a little conflicted. | ||
| I didn't vote. | ||
| I couldn't support him politically. | ||
| Relieved to see him win, but also, anyway. | ||
| But it is so, regardless, it's so delicious and yummy to watch. | ||
| The first, the second man and Kamala Harris have to watch this because they said for 10 years, you know, they said Trump wasn't normal. | ||
| They said he's a dictator. | ||
| It can happen here. | ||
| It's fascism in America. | ||
| And they're watching it happen all over. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Another four years. | ||
| And there's Barron. | ||
| What an absolute specimen. | ||
| He's filling out too. | ||
| He used to be skinny, you know. | ||
| And he's not like fat, but he's filling in, man. | ||
| That's an absolute unit. | ||
| That's a straight up beast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway. | |
| Yeah, Jill Biden gets to watch. | ||
| Jill's probably loving it. | ||
| That's what's funny. | ||
| He's destroyed. | ||
| She's loving it. | ||
| Because Jill and Joe got forced out by the Democrats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They didn't want to go. | |
| And they didn't want for Biden to be thrown out in such an ignominious fashion, really in a party coup, only for Kamala, who they only selected because she's a black woman, to take the lead. | ||
| So, you know, she's relieved that Trump won. | ||
| And honestly, I sort of thought that during the election, like I kind of thought that, like 60%. | ||
| But you know, after Trump won, some of the things that Joe Biden was doing after the election, it made it obvious that that was 100% real. | ||
| I'm talking about that he actually wanted Trump to win. | ||
| The way that his whole demeanor is different suddenly became lucid, smiling, laughing after the election. | ||
| If it wasn't clear when he wore the MAGA hat after the debate. | ||
| It certainly was clear after the election that Jill and Joe wanted to see Kamala go down. | ||
| As sick and as surprising maybe as that seems, they actually wanted Trump to win, so she must be eating that up. | ||
| Jill and Joe got to be loving that. | ||
| I mean, they can't be happy that Trump won, but on some level, they're reveling in the defeat of Kamala for sure. | ||
| So, like I said, limited attendance. | ||
| You've got the 535 members of Congress. | ||
| You've got the cabinet president. | ||
| You've got the Supreme Court former presidents, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama. | ||
| You've got the tech oligarchs, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai. | ||
| You've got the vice president of China in attendance. | ||
| The Trump family. | ||
| But I think that's really it. | ||
| I don't see too many other people besides that very limited crowd. | ||
| So this will be interesting. | ||
| This is the first inauguration since Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in 1985 that they've held it in the Rotunda. | ||
| Everything since then has been outside. | ||
| And again, they say that's the weather. | ||
| It's a little weird. | ||
| I think it's because of security. | ||
| And there are all sorts of rumors. | ||
| They say that the surrounding police departments would not contribute police to secure the Capitol. | ||
| The security perimeter, like I said, in the district expanded. | ||
| Oh, there's Usha Vance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, brother. | |
| Melania Trump, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| She's the GOAT. That's actually iconic. | ||
| I know that sounds super gay, but I kind of get it. | ||
| Like, when you see Melania, you sort of get how gay people are like, Beyonce's an icon. | ||
| I live for that. | ||
| I used to think, like, how does any man look at a woman and go, oh my gosh. | ||
| But honestly, when I see Melania, I kind of like the hat. | ||
| She looks like the Undertaker. | ||
| Remember when she wore that coat? | ||
| In the middle of that illegal immigration controversy that said, I really don't care. | ||
| Like the whole country's on fire screaming about how Trump is putting little kids in concentration camps. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump is putting Guatemalan kids in concentration camps. | |
| He's literally Hitler. | ||
| And she wore a jacket that said, I really don't give a fuck, do you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Queen, like, go off. | |
| Like, I get it. | ||
| I actually get it. | ||
| And then she shows up to the inauguration with the hat. | ||
| If Trump won't be Hitler, maybe she will. | ||
| You know, if Trump won't do it, I could see her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd vote for her. | |
| No, I wouldn't. | ||
| She's pro-abortion, but look, she's kind of glamorous. | ||
| I don't know what to tell you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So anyway, he got Tim Cook from Apple. | |
| Christopher DiMacchio. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, while we've been chatting here, I've just been looking up the 20th Amendment to make sure it does say the terms of the president, the vice president, shall end at noon on the 20th day of January. | |
| You had to check for that? | ||
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So somebody must be madly crossing things off the schedule. | |
| If you go back to this line of succession, though, why would there's no reason why there's no one been chosen? | ||
| Well, this is an active reporting target for us, as we like to say in the White House unit. | ||
| And to see why that would happen, I don't know. | ||
| Okay, why are they talking? | ||
| There is no member of a Trump cabinet at this point. | ||
| Can we get something without the talking? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sheesh. | |
| Bro, who brought the Ugnaught? | ||
| Cloud City representative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha ha, dude, she's dead inside. | |
| Look at her. | ||
| Walk of shame. | ||

|
unidentified

He announced in June 2015 he'll leave office in January 2029. 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 a testament to that endurance. | ||
| We welcome President Biden and Dr. Biden. | ||
| We welcome Vice President Harris and Doug Emhoff. | ||
| No, Michelle, by the way. | ||
| Which is so unbelievably ignorant and offensive and sick. | ||
| That gorilla, Michelle Obama, won't go. | ||
| We got something better to do. | ||
| You're the president's wife. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Such a piece of shit. | |
| Sorry for the language, but that is so unbelievable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very believable, but it's just outrageous. | |
| It is the moment when leaders, elevated by the will of the people, promise to be faithful to our Constitution, to cherish and defend it. | ||
| 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 on Martin Luther King Day. | ||
| A further reminder that we must strive to uphold the values enshrined in our Constitution, the freedoms, the liberties, and, as is inscribed on the entrance of the United States Supreme Court, equal justice under law. | ||
| This whole thing is like a subtree. | ||
| What makes this moment more than a passing ceremony is all who are watching it across the country. | ||
| The people of this nation. | ||
| The ordinary people doing extraordinary things. | ||
| President Kennedy, who at one point worked as a senator in this building and would often walk through this very rotunda, once said, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of interest in politics, holds office. | ||
| Every one of us 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 from the storm. | ||
| There's a reason this ceremony takes place at the Capitol. | ||
| That would be awesome. | ||
| They should hold it in insurance. | ||
| church in a cathedral. | ||
| So, as we inaugurate a new president and vice president, let us remember that the power of those in this room comes from the people. | ||
| The construction workers who build our country. | ||
| The teachers and healthcare workers who nurture us. | ||
| The troops defending our freedoms. | ||
| And yes, the firefighters in Los Angeles putting themselves on the line for us. | ||
| Our democracy's strength and grit must match theirs. | ||
| May God bless our nation. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Hillary's there, too. | ||
| Good afternoon. | ||
| Oh, and Malay in the back. | ||

|
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. | ||
| They wrote it to guide us. | ||
| And to preserve forever our right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | ||
| But as much as the truths and principles enshrined in our Constitution remain the same, our democracy promises the American people the power to change, to chart their own destiny. | ||
| That's the beauty. | ||
| That is the importance of democracy. | ||
| It allows the endurance, the permanence of a nation through change. | ||
| It allows nations like our United States both to avoid the obstacles and to seize the opportunities God has placed before us. | ||
| Oh, you got the back in the back as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Always staying true to our founding principles. | |
| Today is our country's 60th inauguration ceremony. | ||
| Like all the others before it, it is a celebration of our right to set our uniquely American course. | ||
| The past several years have been trying at times for many, many Americans, and also for the nations of the free world that we humbly strive to lead. | ||
| Americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness, the secure, safe, and prosperous future that our founders envisioned for all of us. | ||
| And today, we celebrate not only their decision to do so, but also the simple right and wisdom of a free people She's seething. | ||

| 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. | ||

| 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. | ||

| He changes the times and the seasons. | ||
| He removes kings. | ||
| He raises up kings. | ||
| He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. | ||
| Our Father, today, as President Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office once again, we come to say thank you, O Lord our God. | ||
| Father, when Donald Trump's enemies thought he was down and out, you and you alone saved his life and raised him up with strength and power. | ||
| By your mighty hand. | ||
| We pray for President Trump that you'll watch over, protect, guide, direct him. | ||
| Give him your wisdom from your throne on high. | ||
| We ask that you would bless him and that our nation would be blessed through him. | ||

| It was you that brought them up from the land of Egypt. | ||

| That I may reason with you before the Lord. | ||

| Thank you for the protection, the bounty, the freedoms that we so enjoy. | ||
| We remember to keep our eyes fixed on you. | ||
| And may our hearts be inclined to your voice. | ||

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. | ||
| We'll see about that. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Love to hear that. | ||
| Not as good as the first inaugural. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
| APPLAUSE 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 in complete disrepair. | ||
| We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalogue 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. | ||
| from all over the world. | ||
| This is good so far. | ||
| 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 who have been treated so badly. | ||
| And other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn | ||
| From weeks ago, without even a token 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... | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like gloating that their houses were destroyed. | |
| That's pretty interesting. | ||
| Their house was destroyed. | ||
| ...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. | ||
| today and it will change very quickly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a good speech. | |
| This is like more radical than anything from the campaign. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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, we have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history, 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
| They won't stand! | ||
| That's so good. | ||
| Divine mandate. | ||
| Literally, divine mandate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, eat shit. | |
| All the former presidents won't stand. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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 won a powerful win in all seven swing states, and the popular vote we won by millions. | ||
| Hey, what about whites, dude? | ||
| What about white 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. | ||
| Maybe Hispanics, not blacks. | ||
| No. | ||
| Blacks didn't even vote for Trump. | ||
| Hispanics did! | ||
| I didn't, but other Hispanics did. | ||
| Always blacks. | ||
| Are you... | ||

That's crazy. | |
| Well, it's not surprising. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Forget our God. | ||
| Can't do that. | ||

| First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border. | ||

unidentified

Yeah, no more in the Grinsky. no more in the Grinsky. | |
| Get them out. | ||
| All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back W. | ||

| And I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I doubt that'll happen. | |
| I hope that happens, but I doubt it. | ||
| Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency. | ||
| we will drill, baby, drill. | ||
|

America will be a manufacturing | |
| nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth, and we are going to use it. | ||

| We did tremendously with their vote. | ||
| I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families. | ||

| For this purpose, we are establishing the external revenue service to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenue It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury, coming from foreign sources. | ||

| 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. | ||

| He was a natural businessman. | ||

| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Includes the United States Navy. | ||

| I did miss... | ||
| Him as a guy. | ||
| 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. | ||

Never gonna happen. | |
| President, I fucking love science. | ||
| Ambition is the lifeblood 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 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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| 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 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| That was good. | ||
| That was good fan service. | ||
| 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. | ||

| That didn't sound like Jason Miller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Someone says, great speech. | |
| There was no weaving. | ||
| Yeah, I'm glad we left the weave out of that one. | ||
| When you leave the weave out, it's actually a good speech. | ||
| Well, it's important to hear those themes like sovereignty and independence. | ||
| That's my favorite part because that is really what separates nationalism from conservatism. | ||
| It's a focus on sovereignty and independence and the identity of the nation rather than on abstract ideological values like freedom, limited government, individualism. | ||
| Maybe if it's said succinctly like that, people can understand the real distinction between what we get from normal Republicans and what makes Trump unique. | ||
| Sovereignty and independence are actually not ideological. | ||
| They're reality. | ||
| It's a structural fact as opposed to things like individualism and freedom which are ideological. | ||
| So whenever he focuses on those things, America First, for example, is a statement about independence and sovereignty. | ||
| It's not actually a value statement. | ||
| It says the government should not be captured by special interests. | ||

| Ladies and gentlemen, please remain at your seats while the president and official party depart the platform. | ||
| So that's it. | ||
| It's a pretty good ceremony. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| All things considered, I mean, obviously, look, you're gonna get the black guy, you're gonna get the rabbi. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| But the speech was good. | ||
| I was actually surprised, you know, because, I mean, let's just recognize what has been going on. | ||
| Obviously, Trump has been accepted by mainstream society. | ||
| The richest people in the world are here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tech oligarchs. | |
| Trump is more mainstream and popular than ever. | ||
| And I believe that for the past six to nine months, the mainstream media has been conditioning him to act differently. | ||
| He's not tweeting anymore. | ||
| His speeches, at least in the final months of the campaign, were not as incisive or divisive as they used to be. | ||
| And specifically after the RNC this summer, last summer in July, the New York Times praised Trump's tone. | ||
| They said that it was a departure from his previous rhetoric, that he went from American carnage to unity in our future together. | ||
| And they were writing in anticipation of the speech that this inaugural would continue that departure. | ||
| If you remember in Trump's first inaugural in 2017, he had a very famous line. | ||
| He said, American carnage. | ||
| He said, abandoned factories are like tombstones across the landscape. | ||
| And that phrase, American carnage in particular, the media seized on that and said that was emblematic of a very dark tone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so... | |
| Like I said, I think in the past year, the media has been conditioning Trump to be more unifying and sunny and optimistic. | ||
| And so they said his inaugural specifically would be a departure from that phrase, from the first one. | ||
| So I was thinking this speech wasn't going to be good. | ||
| I was thinking it was going to be in line with his RNC speech and some of the other rhetoric. | ||
| But, I mean, he really went in. | ||
| There was a little bit of that. | ||
| But for the most part, it was classic Trump. | ||
| And in particular, he really went at the political establishment, which is classic. | ||
| So it was anti-establishment. | ||
| But it was also very heavy on those nationalist themes, like I said. | ||
| Sovereignty, independence. | ||
| America first. | ||
| American identity and nationhood. | ||
| So for those reasons, I liked it. | ||
| Thematically, this was classic Trump. | ||
| Like I said, hit the political establishment really hard, characterized himself as a departure not merely from the left, but from the past 30 years of post-Cold War presidents. | ||
| And then again, reiterating those other themes about our identity as a nation, sovereignty, independence, those are very important words in the context of globalization. | ||
| Now, here's where it falls apart a little bit for me. | ||
| In terms of policy, it's all the stuff that we have come to expect. | ||
| Border security, energy, some focus on technology, government efficiency, that sort of thing. | ||
| The foreign policy stuff was actually surprisingly good. | ||
| He talked about not getting into foreign wars. | ||
| Didn't even really talk about Israel specifically. | ||
| And reducing inflation and trade. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| You got to keep in mind that the core issues that Trump was elected on. | ||
| I'm going to turn this music off because it's super annoying. | ||
| The core issues that Trump got elected on in 2016 were these. | ||
| Immigration, foreign policy, and trade. | ||
| Specifically, an America first immigration policy that meant building a border wall. | ||
| A physical, real, 30-foot tall concrete wall, the specifications for which were revealed in 2018, that extends to at least 1,000 out of 2,000 miles of the southern border. | ||
| But it also means mass deportations. | ||
| It also means even reducing legal immigration. | ||
| On foreign policy, it was about ending America's involvement in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and even... | ||
| Reducing the reliance on the United States by South Korea, Germany, the NATO alliance. | ||
| And then finally, on trade, it was about creating a robust and thorough trade program called industrial policy. | ||
| That means that tariffs are here to stay. | ||
| It means they're a systemic part of our economy. | ||
| And the reason I say that is because that's actually not how they were treated in the first term under Biden or the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, doesn't think about it this way. | ||
| Here's where there's been a departure in this inaugural address and in the recent campaign. | ||
| On immigration, you'll notice Trump doesn't talk about a border wall anymore. | ||
| It's just not even part of the conversation. | ||
| He didn't say border wall. | ||
| He didn't campaign on a border wall. | ||
| There was no indication of a physical structure. | ||
| When he's talking about border security, which I believe he'll do, he will implement executive orders like Remain in Mexico, which is migrant protection protocols. | ||
| He will end catch and release. | ||
| I believe he will do that, and he will reduce encounters at the border. | ||
| Here's the problem. | ||
| Trump did that in his first term. | ||
| He did it way too late. | ||
| He did it by the end. | ||
| He did do it. | ||
| But it was undone on day one by Joe Biden. | ||
| And that is the problem with relying on enforcement alone. | ||
| The reason why it matters, people might say, well, it's really arbitrary whether you build a wall or do these executive orders. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| Because when you build a border wall, The next administration is not going to take a wrecking ball to the border wall. | ||
| If you do executive orders, if you only do enforcement, the next administration can simply stop enforcing. | ||
| They could stop and undo the executive orders. | ||
| That's exactly what happened the last time. | ||
| Trump did not build a border wall. | ||
| All he did was the executive orders. | ||
| And Biden undid them in the first week, and we got 10 million illegals in four years. | ||
| And now we're going to go back and do enforcement. | ||
| So the border wall, I hope they'll resume construction of this wall. | ||
| It's realistically an 18-foot bollard fence, which is different than a 30-foot concrete wall. | ||
| I hope they'll resume construction, but I don't know if they will. | ||
| They're going to do drones, they're going to do surveillance, they're going to do enforcement, but I don't think they're going to do a wall. | ||
| And they're also not including the other aspects of it. | ||
| Will there be mass deportations? | ||
| That's the big question. | ||
| Will they reduce legal immigration? | ||
| They may do the opposite. | ||
| So that's an issue. | ||
| With regard to foreign policy, he gave some vague statements about ending wars, obviously. | ||
| Relating to Gaza and Ukraine, not getting into new ones. | ||
| Here's the problem. | ||
| Let's talk specifics. | ||
| Will the United States withdraw from Syria? | ||
| Because Trump tried to withdraw from Syria several times in his first term. | ||
| The Pentagon lied to him and said they were following through on that and they weren't. | ||
| And then they just outright refused. | ||
| And we remain in Syria until this day. | ||
| Will he withdraw us from Iraq? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Iraq doesn't want us there. | ||
| There's a deal right now for us to withdraw. | ||
| Will we stay? | ||
| Trump now says that he wouldn't have fully withdrawn us from Afghanistan. | ||
| Like, that's an issue. | ||
| And that's not even to mention NATO, South Korea, the other commitments we have. | ||
| And then, of course, there is these other operations, like, will there be regime change? | ||
| In Venezuela, will there be regime change in Iran or other places? | ||
| That is something they pursued in the first term. | ||
| Why are there so many Venezuelan migrants? | ||
| Because John Bolton in Trump's first term pursued a maximum pressure sanctions campaign against Maduro in Venezuela. | ||
| That's why there was hyperinflation there. | ||
| That's why the economy collapsed. | ||
| That's why there were millions of Venezuelans coming here. | ||
| Because of our failed... | ||
| Sanctions regime, maximum pressure campaign to try to get the population to overthrow Maduro. | ||
| And then Trump gave them all TPS. They all came here as refugees and on this last day in office, Trump gave temporary protected status to all these illegal Venezuelans. | ||
| Are we going to pick up where we left off? | ||
| Biden allowed Venezuela to sell their oil to offset some of the... | ||
| We put sanctions on Russian oil. | ||
| Oil became more expensive. | ||
| It caused inflation, so we let Venezuela sell their oil. | ||
| Consequently, the economy improved and refugees stopped coming. | ||
| Same thing with Iran. | ||
| In Trump's lame duck period in the first term, he was considering striking Iran directly. | ||
| They killed Qasem Soleimani. | ||
| There was a lot of saber-rattling in those last two years of the first term. | ||
| Again, are they going to pick up where they left off? | ||
| Is Netanyahu going to carry out strikes on Iran? | ||
| I think it's almost a certainty. | ||
| A window is opened up. | ||
| Syria's air defenses have been destroyed. | ||
| Hezbollah is disabled. | ||
| There's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Israel to be able to strike Iran without relying on us. | ||
| Are they going to take that opportunity? | ||
| Will Trump allow them? | ||
| I mean, there will have to be immense pressure for them not to do that. | ||
| So these are these outstanding questions where the rubber's going to meet the road. | ||
| And then finally with trade, it was really good to hear about this external revenue service and getting money from duties and tariffs. | ||
| Again, here's the issue. | ||
| Are we going to have across-the-board tariffs on all imports? | ||
| Because that would be good. | ||
| That would foster domestic industry and manufacturing. | ||
| Or, alternatively, Are we going to implement tariffs as a bargaining chip to secure bilateral trade deals? | ||
| Because that's different. | ||
| And that is what Scott Besant, the Secretary of the Treasury, wants to do. | ||
| That is what Trump's cabinet wants to do, just like the first time. | ||
| Trump is a protectionist. | ||
| He likes McKinley because McKinley was a protectionist. | ||
| Trump wants to make tariffs part of our economy. | ||
| It's good for multiple reasons. | ||
| One, again, it fosters industry in America. | ||
| It protects jobs, but it also funds the government because you create revenue through that. | ||
| But the people that he brings on in the first term and in the second term, they don't think about it that way. | ||
| They think the tariffs are not going to be a structural part of trade or the economy. | ||
| They think that we're just using them as leverage. | ||
| To get trade deals or for political purposes, and they will quickly be removed. | ||
| And that's a conflict of vision. | ||
| So Trump clearly wants protectionism. | ||
| I think he's always been strongest on trade. | ||
| And the reason that Trump likes tariffs is because tariffs can be applied unilaterally. | ||
| Trump doesn't need to go through Congress unlike these other things. | ||
| To appropriate money for a wall, you need to go through Congress and then the courts like when he tried to get the money from the DOD. | ||
| With immigration, you have to go through Congress. | ||
| With trade, he can implement the tariffs by himself, and I think that's why trade is the strongest issue. | ||
| But again, we'll see if the cabinet follows through. | ||
| So, you know, it's like... | ||
| Some of these issues, he's not as strong on as he was the first time. | ||
| That's my concern. | ||
| The rhetoric sounds great. | ||
| Thematically, it's great. | ||
| Independence, sovereignty, identity, that is what makes Trump unique. | ||
| That is what makes him a nationalist. | ||
| That's why I support him. | ||
| And being a non-interventionist or something like having an America First foreign policy, I support that. | ||
| Being a protectionist, I support that. | ||
| Being an immigration restrictionist, I support that. | ||
| Some of these issues, he's stronger on than others. | ||
| His entire cabinet is against him on all of those. | ||
| That's the trouble. | ||
| Because in politics, personnel is policy. | ||
| So we have a great president, and he seems mostly aligned, but the people that he selected and appointed to run his cabinet are really not aligned on any of that. | ||
| And if they are running these departments and agencies, they get to affect the policies. | ||
| And so now the question is, has Trump learned from his mistakes the first time? | ||
| Already, I would say, if I were to bet now, no. | ||
| Because his appointments are all terrible. | ||
| Mike Waltz, his national security advisor, is like a neocon. | ||
| Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, neocon. | ||
| Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, neocon. | ||
| Our DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem, is not a border hawk and she's not strong. | ||
| It's Christian Nielsen all over again. | ||
| She was DHS Secretary the first time. | ||
| She was terrible. | ||
| And in terms of trade, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, just as bad as Mnuchin in terms of trade. | ||
| Like, this guy's not a protectionist. | ||
| He's literally a gay Soros. | ||
| Wall Street guy. | ||
| So the personnel is already not better. | ||
| So the question is, is Trump going to be more energetic? | ||
| Will Vance enforce Trump's will? | ||
| Will the chief of staff Susie Wiles enforce his will? | ||
| I wouldn't count on it. | ||
| So it was a good speech. | ||
| Thematically, it lays bare some of the shortcomings in terms of policy. | ||
| The cabinet appointments do not inspire confidence. | ||
| That the second term will be as good as the speech or that he's learned his lesson from the first term. | ||
| With that being said, I'm relieved that Trump is president. | ||
| I'm glad he's back. | ||
| I love him as a man. | ||
| Whatever you think about him, whatever you think about the possibilities of the second term, he's just a remarkable human being. | ||
| It's a remark of the power and the weight of his story. | ||
| It really shakes you to your core. | ||
| Everything he's been through, everything we've been through, I've been through in this movement, I have a lot of sentimentality and a deep attachment to him and to this movement. | ||
| So my critique doesn't come from a place of hatred or personal animosity at all. | ||
| It just comes from a place of having been a part of this for a very long time and in a very intimate way. | ||
| And also really being married to America first. | ||
| More than to this cadre of people that make up the Trump industry. | ||
| So with that being said, I'm relieved he's alive, that he's the president, that he's not in jail. | ||
| And for what it's worth, I believe the country will get better. | ||
| Without a doubt, the administration of the country will improve. | ||
| The economy will be better. | ||
| I think there is a lower risk of a World War III. I trust Trump more than Harris or Biden. | ||
| I think the rollback of DEI is a good thing. | ||
| The advent of a more liberal climate on social media, and by liberal I mean free, for free speech is a good thing. | ||
| The rollback of DEI is good for white people. | ||
| So there are a lot of positives. | ||
| There's a lot of good. | ||
| Border enforcement, I don't think there'll be mass deportations, but I think that border crossings will go down. | ||
| Deportations will go up. | ||
| They won't be what they need to be, but they'll be higher. | ||
| So things will get better. | ||
| And it's not that they're not going to be perfect. | ||
| It's that, and here's my concern, I think that things are going to be good enough. | ||
| That it's going to bring all of these people back into the fold. | ||
| This is my primary concern. | ||
| When Trump ran in 16, he ran as a revolutionary. | ||
| And now that he's won the second time, the acceptance and tolerance of Trump by the system, to me, shows he's no longer a threat. | ||
| And it seems like all these people that were storming the Capitol four years ago and thought the elections were rigged and the system was rigged, They're now firmly back on the plantation, voting and believing in the legitimacy and efficacy of the institutions, and I think Trump is actually having a re-entrenching or re-trenching effect on the political establishment. | ||
| I think he creates confidence and credibility, ironically, for the system, and I don't necessarily think that's a good thing. | ||
| And I will add... | ||
| I mean, look, it was a crisis 10 years ago. | ||
| The border, the economy, the foreign policy. | ||
| It was an absolute crisis 10 years ago. | ||
| Here we are 10 years later. | ||
| Everything's worse. | ||
| And yet Trump is less radical. | ||
| So there needs to be a sense of urgency and forward momentum. | ||
| And I feel like if it's not, it's not that it's not going to be perfect. | ||
| It's that it's only going to be moderately good. | ||
| Everyone's back in the fold. | ||
| Things have only gotten worse in the past 10 years. | ||
| And is that politically really beneficial for our cause? | ||
| I would have actually preferred, even though Kamala would be worse in every way, it would have incubated radicalism, anger, distrust, and yes, instability, chaos. | ||
| It would be bad. | ||
| It would be maybe horrible, maybe catastrophic. | ||
| But I think it would have unleashed a lot of energy that could have actually propelled the country into a real revolutionary period where there could be actual change. | ||
| So I really took like an accelerationist position. | ||
| And with Trump in office, I think there's this release of pressure. | ||
| I think there is this retrenchment of the establishment. | ||
| I think it gives credibility to the government again. | ||
| And I don't know that that's the best thing. | ||
| So, I'm going to give Trump a chance. | ||
| I'm going to be watching for the next, hopefully for the next four years if no one else tries to kill me and succeeds. | ||
| Hopefully, knock on wood, I will be here for the next four years and I'll be watching with you guys every day, Monday through Friday, 8 o'clock Central. | ||
| And we're going to tell it to you, honestly, I'm going to be objective about it from my point of view as a legitimate radical. | ||
| My North Star is this. | ||
| I am a nationalist. | ||
| I'm not a conservative. | ||
| I'm a nationalist. | ||
| I believe in America first. | ||
| I think the country is becoming minority white. | ||
| This demographic change is killing us. | ||
| The genetic excellence of white people is why Europe and the United States have been truly remarkable in the history of mankind. | ||
| I think that the Christian religion, specifically the Catholic version, is true. | ||
| And I think without those things, whatever party is in office, this country will not last. | ||
| It will be inferior. | ||
| It will be objectively worse. | ||
| So I think reversing the demographic change and spiritual apostasy, those are really our biggest issues. | ||
| Outside of that, in order to achieve those things, we have to reclaim our sovereignty as a nation. | ||
| And as it stands, the people that are standing in the way of our sovereignty as a nation... | ||
| Is a fifth column of Jews and said plainly that's what it is. | ||
| When you look at Hollywood, when you look at banking, when you look at the donors, when you look at the influence of the Israel lobby and the Mossad, how they've compromised American tech, how they've compromised American intelligence and the media as evidenced by the response to October 7th, I think they clearly are the most influential faction in our government. | ||
| That has been a major factor in the apostasy, the demographic change, and some of the other catastrophic trends. | ||
| We have to confront that. | ||
| If we want to solve problems, we need control over our government. | ||
| We need sovereignty. | ||
| If we want sovereignty, we need to take it from the people that currently have it. | ||
| As it stands, Trump has been captured by this Israel lobby. | ||
| Multiculturalism, atheism, secularism, liberalism. | ||
| Leftism, these are all the fruits of revolutionary Jewish intellectuals and activists over the last 100 to 200 years. | ||
| We have to be honest about it. | ||
| So that's my North Star. | ||
| That's how I'm judging these things. | ||
| I'm not judging these things by tax cuts, unemployment, GDP. | ||
| I'm not judging it by sentimentality about speeches or whether we feel good as Americans. | ||
| I'm not judging it by conservatism or how small the government is or whether we're libertarians or whether we're meritocratic or whatever. | ||
| I'm judging it by are we reversing white genocide now? | ||
| Is the country reversing the spiritual apostasy, the spiritual decline? | ||
| Are we moving towards sovereignty or are the people that have taken it entrenching themselves further? | ||
| Those are the big questions. | ||
| Like I said, I'll be here for the next four years, hopefully, covering all this. | ||
| And if you voted for Trump, if you didn't vote for Trump, I'm going to give him a fair shake as somebody who has been really with this from the beginning. | ||
| I'm inextricably connected to it. | ||
| I was created by it. | ||
| My first show, I've been doing this show now in two weeks. | ||
| It will be eight years. | ||
| I will have been doing this show. | ||
| On February 6th, for eight years, I started this show two weeks after Trump's first inauguration when I was 18 years old. | ||
| And I've been with it from the start. | ||
| I covered the first 100 days the first time, the midterms. | ||
| I was there in 2020 for Stop the Steal for January 6th. | ||
| I got censored. | ||
| I met the president. | ||
| I dined with him. | ||
| I've really been there through it all. | ||
| I was at Charlottesville. | ||
| Groyper War. | ||
| I campaigned in 2020. We protested the vaccine mandates. | ||
| I mean, I've really been a part of this from the very beginning. | ||
| I've been put on a no-fly list, censored, had my bank account frozen. | ||
| I've been subpoenaed in connection with January 6th. | ||
| I've been disavowed by the Republican and Democratic parties. | ||
| I've been a part of this for a very long time. | ||
| That's where I'm coming at it from. | ||
| The name of my show comes from Trump's first inaugural, and he said a new vision will govern our land. | ||
| It'll be only America first. | ||
| And now I'm strapped in for the next four years. | ||
| So that's me. | ||
| That's me, and that's what I'm about, and that's what this show is going to be about for the next four years in this inflection point in the history of the country. | ||
| And it's obviously new everything. | ||
| We're going to be talking about the role of this new technological oligarchy that was present here, that donated vast sums of money to Trump's campaign. | ||
| We're going to be talking about these emergent technologies that are shaping the fifth industrial revolution. | ||
| Artificial intelligence, drones, robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality. | ||
| These massive companies with a $1, $2, $3 trillion valuation. | ||
| We're going to be talking about all of it. | ||
| And it looks like Trump is about to speak again. | ||
| So we're going to jump back into this. | ||
| And then we'll keep going. | ||
| We're going to be watching the festivities all day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you all so much for being here. | |
| And was that a hell of a speech or what? | ||
| That was, man. | ||
| Ugh, disgusting glaze. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was a good way to start it off. | |
| You know, I didn't know exactly what the president would put in that speech. | ||
| And I hoped to myself that he wasn't going to hold back. | ||
| And, sir, you didn't hold back. | ||
| That was a hell of a way to start the next four years. | ||
| But I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, and I know I speak for the president and for all of us. | ||
| Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this possible. | ||
| We love you. | ||
| We wouldn't be here without you, and we're going to make America great again together for the next four years. | ||
| And the last thing I'll say is, you know, having stood outside for about five minutes to wave goodbye to... | ||
| To the Bidens, thank God we moved that thing indoors because it was a beautiful ceremony and it was cold as hell outside. | ||
| So, sir, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. | ||
| He's such a fucking fake oaf. | ||
| Fake, inauthentic fucking oaf. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fat. | |
| We blew it. | ||
| We blew it. | ||
| And then I went outside and we were freezing. | ||
| You would have been very unhappy. | ||
| The sun was very deceptive, I will tell you. | ||
| It is cold out. | ||
| And I'm sort of saying, you know, that was so beautiful today. | ||
| Maybe they should do it there every four years. | ||
| Does that make sense? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Because, you know, the outdoor thing is really good, but it gets a little cold around this time of the year, as some people have noticed. | ||
| And a lot of times they suffer through it. | ||
| There was no suffering in that room. | ||
| It was 72 degrees. | ||
| It was perfect. | ||
| We're the best acoustics I think I've ever heard in a room. | ||
| This is not so bad either. | ||
| But I just want to say, you're a younger, far more beautiful audience than I just spoke to. | ||
| And I want to keep it off the record. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to keep that off the record. | |
| Because I don't want to have all those big shots up there. | ||
| I don't want to think you're more powerful than them. | ||
| You look better than them. | ||
| And I love you. | ||
| Now, we just had a great time. | ||
| We just had a great day. | ||
| This was amazing. | ||
| You know, when you think we took a journey. | ||
| I mentioned in the speech, a lot of people said that was not a journey that was possible. | ||
| And it was indeed possible. | ||
| I didn't really know too much about what they were saying when they said that. | ||
| A lot of people felt it. | ||
| And we hooked up with J.D. very early. | ||
| I watched J.D. over a period of time. | ||
| I endorsed him in Ohio. | ||
| He was a great senator. | ||
| And very, very smart. | ||
| The only one smarter than him was his wife. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The wife's delay is disgusting. | |
| It's absolutely disgusting. | ||
| But now she's great and he's great. | ||
| This is a great, beautiful couple and unbelievable. | ||
| Career, I just said to him, you are very upwardly mobile. | ||
| Because he hasn't been doing it that long. | ||
| But he picked it up so quickly. | ||
| Remember, the first week was a little bit like the fake news was hitting him really hard. | ||
| And I said, ooh, this may be tough. | ||
| But after that, it was smooth sailing for him. | ||
| He took on everybody. | ||
| He took on the meanest. | ||
| I don't want to use the word corrupt because we're into a new system. | ||
| So let's wait till the corruption begins, because it will. | ||
| But he took on some pretty mean people, and he handled it well. | ||
| I want to also congratulate Mike Johnson for the job that he's doing. | ||
| Steve, we gave him a majority of almost nothing. | ||
| And then I said, to make it tougher on him, let me take two or three of the people, right? | ||
| I said, he'll only have to suffer with that for about three months. | ||
| How are they doing, by the way? | ||
| Is that moving along? | ||
| Totally unified. | ||
| I said, do you mind if I take this one, that one, and a couple of others? | ||
| He didn't mind. | ||
| He can handle it. | ||
| No, he's a man that's liked by everybody. | ||
| I've never met a man like this. | ||
| How many is it? | ||
| 219 or 220 or something? | ||
| 220. And of the 220, 219 really like him. | ||
| I noticed he got one negative vote once about two weeks ago. | ||
| But I think even 220 like him, if you want to know the truth. | ||
| And that's very unusual. | ||
| I know a lot of nice guys in Congress, and they have 35 people that hate them. | ||
| So if you have 35 people that hate you and you only have one or two or three votes, you'll have five, I think. | ||
| But that's going to be like, you know, the good news is when we get to that five number, it's going to feel like a massive majority. | ||
| You could be really nasty to a couple of them, at least. | ||
| So it's going to feel like hitting your head on the wall and stopping. | ||
| It feels so good to stop. | ||
| But he's done a fantastic job. | ||
| And Steve Scalise, he's our hero because, you know, I was with him. | ||
| You talk about being shot. | ||
| I was with him. | ||
| He got some bad ones, and his incredible wife, and she really loves him, you know? | ||
| You never know about that. | ||
| I've been with other people. | ||
| They were doing poorly, and the wife is like looking at her watch. | ||
| She can't get out of the hospital fast enough. | ||
| How's he doing? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He's all right. | ||
| That woman was a mess. | ||
| She was crying and crying. | ||
| No, they're going to take him. | ||
| They're going to take him. | ||
| I told Steve when he finally woke up, it was a while, too. | ||
| The doctor told me it was the most blood they've ever transfused in any patient. | ||
| They've never done anything like it. | ||
| And here he is, the picture of strength, right? | ||
| And he's been a great friend of mine. | ||
| Hey, and by the way, if you're tuning out because this isn't the inauguration, make sure to follow me, smash the like button, and my show's coming back at 8 o'clock tonight, just because I can see, you know, the inauguration ceremony's over. | ||
| So if you're leaving, remember, I'm going to be here at 8 o'clock tonight. | ||
| The show is back. | ||
| I'll be here all week and then going forward. | ||
| So 8 o'clock tonight and follow the channel, but we'll be watching this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I said, I'm telling you, it's going to play great. | |
| They say, you're right. | ||
| For this group of people, it's going to play great. | ||
| You're the only ones I heard by that. | ||
| Oh, but we had some beauties, didn't we, Melania? | ||
| She said, sir. | ||
| Calls me sir when she's angry. | ||
| No, I'm only kidding. | ||
| I better say I'm only kidding or the press is going to pick that one up loudly. | ||
| No, but she said, no, I think it would be terrible. | ||
| It's such a nice speech. | ||
| I think it's, you know, it all depends on your delivery. | ||
| How was the delivery? | ||
| Was it good? | ||
| But she said it's such a beautiful, such a beautiful speech. | ||
| You can't put things in there that you were going to put in. | ||
| And I was going to talk about the J6 hostages, but you'll be happy because, you know, it's action, not words that count. | ||
| And you're going to see a lot of action on the J6 hostages. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll see. | |
| And I was going to talk about the things that Joe did today with the pardons of people that were very, very guilty of very bad crimes, Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, where they literally, I mean, what they did is they destroyed and deleted all of the information, all of the hearings, practically not a thing left. | ||
| They deleted all the information on Nancy Pelosi having turned down the offer of 10,000 soldiers. | ||
| You wouldn't have needed 10,000. | ||
| You could have had 500, and it would have stopped. | ||
| Because we may have had a million people that day, the people that were there. | ||
| You don't see any photographs. | ||
| But we have a lot of great photos. | ||
| But you don't see those photographs. | ||
| They don't put them in. | ||
| They show the people at the Capitol. | ||
| But I was talking about that. | ||
| I was going to talk about that. | ||
| They said, please don't bring that up right now. | ||
| You can bring it up tomorrow. | ||
| I said, how about now in front of the very... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll bring it up right now! | |
| You know, this little time delay is good because we're getting great reviews on the speech. | ||
| Now watch. | ||
| They'll take the speech and say, I didn't like it because he left there and he's talked to people. | ||
| But we're giving you a little more information than we gave upstairs. | ||
| But no, they pardoned a lot of people. | ||
| They pardoned, before we even get to today, they pardoned, what is it, 33 murderers? | ||
| Absolute murderers. | ||
| The worst murderers. | ||
| You know, when you get the death sentence in the United States, you have to be bad. | ||
| Because they don't give it much. | ||
| And he pardoned almost everybody having a death sentence. | ||
| And if you went through the crimes that were committed, you wouldn't even believe them. | ||
| The level of violence, the people that were killed, the innocence of people that were killed and children killed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, I'm bored. | |
| And he pardoned them for whatever reason. | ||
| He spared them, but they didn't spare the people that they killed. | ||
| You know, who knows what happens in the future. | ||
| It's one of the worst because a lot of times they let them out early after that. | ||
| You know, they say you're going to be in for life. | ||
| When are we going to do the executive orders? | ||
| I mean, what is this even? | ||
| Good behavior and then they go on a rampage. | ||
| It's one of those little things, right? | ||
| But I was going to talk about that. | ||
| But I was really going to talk about the level of, you know, what's going on? | ||
| Why are we doing this? | ||
| Why are we trying to help a guy like Millie? | ||
| Look at how fat and disgusting this person is. | ||
| Look at how fat, ugly, and disgusting his face is. | ||
| What a fat, ugly, disgusting human being. | ||
| Look at how his face carries the fat. | ||
| Look at how this disgusting fatty has face fat hanging off of his fucking face. | ||
| And look at that fake laugh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck is that, even? | |
| Sorry. | ||
| For the language, but seriously. | ||
| There are no bigger fakers than this asshole and this fat, ugly pig. | ||
| This ridiculous petri dish creature. | ||
| Paul Ryan clone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then this fat ass, who I hate. | |
| And the reason they did, because it was all false, like the person that said I tried to strangle. | ||
| It was gross scum. | ||
| Secret Service agent. | ||
| That's one of the toughest human beings I think I've ever seen. | ||
| I actually had a friend say, please don't change that suit. | ||
| You are the coolest sucker in history. | ||
| Remember she said I put my hands around his neck because he wouldn't go to the Capitol. | ||
| It made up fiction. | ||
| And I was rebuffed. | ||
| And the guy on the right is a massive weightlifter. | ||
| Probably stronger than me. | ||
| Do you think he's stronger than me, honey? | ||
| You know who I'm talking. | ||
| Possibly stronger than me. | ||
| Slightly younger than me, like, I won't say how many years, because I don't want to talk about that, but a lot of years. | ||
| But I had a friend that said, why are you disputing that story? | ||
| That's the coolest story I've ever heard. | ||
| That I would attack a karate champion. | ||
| Get slightly rebuffed and then throw my arms around a guy with a neck about this big. | ||
| This weave is crazy. | ||
| You can't really do that anyway. | ||
| So I wanted to talk about that. | ||
| But all of that stuff got deleted. | ||
| And the reason it got deleted is they were all caught in lies. | ||
| You know, Secret Service testified and they said it didn't happen. | ||
| This is like his first speech as the president and it's a hellish weave. | ||
| It's the weave from hell. | ||
| Did Trump really do that to you? | ||
| But they gained a whole new respect for me. | ||
| Dude, we're going to have to see this fat face for four years, maybe more. | ||
| So rather than suffer the wrath, like the story with Nancy Pelosi, I offered to 10,000 soldiers. | ||
| She knows it. | ||
| She admitted it on tape that her daughter made. | ||
| She's a videographer or whatever you call her, which I'm glad she is. | ||
| Oh, she can't be in good stead with Nancy. | ||
| But Nancy said it was my responsibility as she's leaving the Capitol. | ||
| She said it was, and it was. | ||
| She's in charge of security at the Capitol. | ||
| But I offered them up to 10,000 soldiers, even more. | ||
| One time I said more, as many as you need. | ||
| But you needed four or five hundred. | ||
| Four or five, you had 10,000. | ||
| That would be more than the number of people there, by lot. | ||
| But we offered her 10,000. | ||
| Think of it, 10,000 soldiers. | ||
| In other words, J6 wouldn't be J6. | ||
| There would have been no J6. | ||
| But she rebuffed them. | ||
| She didn't like it. | ||
| No, she didn't like it. | ||
| Maybe she wanted that to happen. | ||
| Dude, it's just like a grievance festival. | ||
|

|
You're the president! | |
| He won, and he just can't help himself. | ||
| You just got inaugurated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's like, yeah, no one even cares. | |
| Nancy Pelosi deleted the tapes. | ||
| Like, dude. | ||
| You won. | ||
| Let it go. | ||
| So that's a criminal offense. | ||
| Stop giving a speech. | ||
| Do something. | ||
| If that happened civilly where you did that, it would be a criminal offense. | ||
| But he loves to gripe, though. | ||
| He just loves to complain. | ||
| I'm not going to make this speech complicated. | ||
| I'm going to make it beautiful. | ||
| I'm going to make it a unifying speech. | ||
| And then when they said, "We have a group of people that are serious Trump fans," I said, "This is the time to tell those stories." Enoch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Enoch. | |
| But seriously, I'd like to... | ||
| I think it was a tremendous success. | ||
| I think we're very lucky we put it inside because it is really cool. | ||
| We just went to the helicopter out of respect. | ||
| Something that's taken place for a long time. | ||
| I guess it's as old as helicopters. | ||
| You used to get into a stagecoach. | ||
| Now you get into a helicopter. | ||
| Times change. | ||
| But it's pretty... | ||
| Vance laughing like that's the most hilarious joke. | ||
| Dude, look at his face. | ||
| I just can't get over it. | ||
| He's just got one of those, like, fat faces, you know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not all fat people have it, but some of them. | |
| Man, dude, look at him. | ||
| Oh my goodness. | ||
| It's like that resting fat face. | ||
| Yuck. | ||
| Yuck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at his, like, look at the way he's looking. | |
| Bro's looking for cookies. | ||
| This has been... | ||
|
unidentified
|
This has been a... | |
| Has there ever been anything like it? | ||
| There's never been anything like it. | ||
| This has been a movement like no movement ever in history for probably any country, let alone this country. | ||
| You know, if somebody's running for president, and if they go out and they announce they're going to Arizona, they're going to Nevada, they're going to someplace, if you have 200 or 300 people... | ||
| That would be standard. | ||
| Ronald Reagan would go out. | ||
| I mean, outside of the last couple of days where people get a little excited, but even then you have a couple of thousand people. | ||
| But if you're going to go someplace, any place, any one of the swing states, any one of the other states, I mean, how about the non-swing states? | ||
| We won Alabama by 48 points. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| We won Tennessee by massive numbers. | ||
| Wyoming, we've won by numbers that are... | ||
| Nobody's ever seen numbers. | ||
| And, you know, places like California, we did great, but when they send out like 38 million ballots, nobody knows where the hell they're sending them, and then they come pouring back the whole thing. | ||
| You know, they passed a law in California that if you work in an election bureau, and if you so much as ask for a voter ID, if you say, sir, ma'am, could I please look at your voter ID? They have the right to put you in jail. | ||
| You're a criminal. | ||
| Can you believe that? | ||
| There's only one reason that happens. | ||
| They want to cheat. | ||
| Why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Why are we doing this? | ||
| You don't need to do it. | ||
| You're the president. | ||
| Sign executive orders. | ||
| He's like giving a speech about how the election that he just won in a landslide was unfair. | ||
| And we were winning. | ||
| We won the Texas border that had never been won, as the governor said, he's doing a good job, the governor, by the way, of Texas. | ||
| But as the governor said... | ||
| That's torture, dude. | ||
| It's torturous. | ||
| Oh, did I get lucky? | ||
| Did I get lucky? | ||
| Supposing I said, you know, he's not here, but the governor of Texas has done a terrible job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Look at you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You mean we couldn't get you up in the front row? | |
| I'll tell you. | ||
| Supposing I said, J.D., the governor of Texas, he's not doing his job. | ||
| You heard what I said? | ||
| See, I didn't know you were there. | ||
| I said he's doing a great job. | ||
| He's doing a phenomenal job. | ||
| But now you're going to have a partner that's going to work with you because you didn't have... | ||
| Not only didn't he have a partner, he had people selling the wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| We have a fence structure that we worked on, the governor worked on with me. | ||
| And I didn't love it, to be honest with you. | ||
| I wanted a nice precast concrete, you know, 40, 50 feet high, like a beautiful, could have been a T-shaped, Y-shape. | ||
| I love construction. | ||
| I wanted that sucker to go up maybe 50, 60 feet. | ||
| It would have looked beautiful. | ||
| A nice Y-shape. | ||
| And they said, the problem is, sir, they climbed that like a rabbit. | ||
| I said, what do you mean? | ||
| So I made it 18 feet. | ||
| They climbed it like... | ||
| And the other thing is you hit it with acid and the thing will disintegrate. | ||
| You know, they have things for concrete. | ||
| So they needed very hardened steel, very special steel. | ||
| And then they needed 7,000-pound concrete inside that steel, unit inside that steel. | ||
| And then they have a rebar that's the toughest steel made. | ||
| Very hard to cut. | ||
| So this is why very little is cut. | ||
| I mean, it's right. | ||
| And then they put an anti-climb panel on top. | ||
| I hated it. | ||
| I said, it's so unattractive. | ||
| And I said, why would that work? | ||
| I don't believe it works. | ||
| And I went to watch the Border Patrol, gave a display. | ||
| We had actually two sets of climbers. | ||
| The guys that climb up walls with drugs on their back, I mean, they got like 60, 70 pounds of drug, and they go as fast as you can walk. | ||
| Or we have Mount Everest-type climbers. | ||
| And honestly, the drug guys were much better. | ||
| The drug guys blew them away, right? | ||
| But it's true. | ||
| The anti-climb panel, they couldn't get around it. | ||
| They just couldn't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's videos of them. | |
| So sometimes you sacrifice beauty for efficiency. | ||
| And we did. | ||
| So we built this wall. | ||
| And we built over 500 miles of wall. | ||
| That's why we had such good numbers. | ||
| The famous chart. | ||
| That came down very thankfully. | ||
| The chart that came down on my right governor, had I not looked over there, I'm not speaking right now. | ||
| You might be speaking here. | ||
| You want to know the truth? | ||
| You, JD, you've got a lot of great people in this party, but it was, I got very lucky, but we had the best numbers we've ever had. | ||
| But I bought, you know, what happens is when you fill it up, it's like water. | ||
| You fill it up. | ||
| Now we have 571 miles of wall, and they would always say, you know, when we renovated a wall, so there'd be like a piece of Plywood. | ||
| Sitting there for 60 years. | ||
| Okay, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if I'm actually going to watch any more of this. | ||
| What even is this now? | ||
| This is like the luncheon? | ||
| Like, what even are we watching now? | ||
| Oh, by the way, they don't even want me to say this, but what the hell? | ||
| It doesn't take them a long time. | ||
| They're all wired for all of the equipment. | ||
| We put wires in everything so they can easily wire for all of the... | ||
| Different types of equipment. | ||
| If there's a doubt, we have a wire. | ||
| Whenever we just look, you just find the wires all over the place up top. | ||
| So we can just hook it up. | ||
| We don't have to... | ||
| Like, what is the point of this? | ||
| We don't do too well, right? | ||
| So anyway, so we built an extra 200 miles of wall. | ||
| And the governor wanted to buy it. | ||
| He tried to buy it. | ||
| And they wouldn't sell it to him. | ||
| He wanted to put it up himself. | ||
| Could have been done in three to four weeks. | ||
| 200 more miles. | ||
| Because... | ||
| When you do it now, they just keep going further out, further out, further out, getting around. | ||
| So we did an extra 200 miles, and it was all bought. | ||
| And they announced that they're not going to put it up. | ||
| And that's when I realized they wanted open borders, and that's when I realized that people are going to come pouring through the wall like nobody's ever seen before, but you've seen it. | ||
| A lot of you are here because of that. | ||
| I made it my number one issue. | ||
| They all said inflation was the number one issue. | ||
| I said I disagree. | ||
| I think people coming into our country from prisons and from mental institutions is a bigger issue for the people that I know. | ||
| And I made it my number one. | ||
| I talked about inflation, too, but how many times can you say that an apple has doubled in cost? | ||
| I'd say it, and I'd hit it hard, but then I'd go back to the fact that we don't want criminals coming into our country. | ||
| We don't want the jails of... | ||
| Every country in the world, virtually, being deposited into the United States. | ||
| And that man had to suffer with it. | ||
| And he did an unbelievable job. | ||
| I'll tell you, he was a very popular governor, but now he's like an unbeatable governor because of your border policies. | ||
| He was fantastic. | ||
| And he really was. | ||
| Governor Abbott, he's a great man, a great leader. | ||
| But it did make him very... | ||
| Did you do it? | ||
| You didn't do that for politics. | ||
| You did it because you wanted to do the right thing. | ||
| But I tell you, it sure as hell worked for politics, too. | ||
| It's self-preservation, that's right. | ||
| But, yeah, because the people are demanding it. | ||
| The people of Texas are demanding it. | ||
| The people are demanding it all over. | ||
| So, anyway, so we built it, and they wouldn't let us use it. | ||
| They wouldn't let the governor use it. | ||
| And other governors, they wouldn't let them use it. | ||
| But he was the leader of the pack and did a great job. | ||
| And then we heard about a month ago that not only when they let it, excuse it, they were selling it, they were going to sell it for five cents on the dollar. | ||
| Now, five cents on the dollar then, but today it would cost more than twice as much to build because we bought it like six years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| And it was just sitting on the ground. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on, man. | |
| Like, what do we do? | ||
| The yapping is out of control. | ||
| But it was just sitting on the ground, and I heard about it. | ||
| And I called the governor and I called a lot of people, your attorney general. | ||
| And here's the story. | ||
| They were going to buy it. | ||
| And these are great business people. | ||
| They were going to buy it for five cents on the dollar or less. | ||
| And they were calling us up. | ||
| We'll sell it to you for 200 cents on the dollar. | ||
| In other words, it will cost you twice as much. | ||
| So it's 200 cents on the dollar. | ||
| I said, can somebody explain that to a judge? | ||
| I mean, how corrupt is that? | ||
| You'd think they'd say, maybe we'll sell it to you for 20 cents, 30 cents, but not 200 cents. | ||
| So they were going to buy something for 5 cents, and they were going to sell it to us for a fortune. | ||
| They were going to make it would be, they'd have it down in Fortune magazine, they'd put it of the deal of the year, okay? | ||
| You buy something like that. | ||
| But it was so corrupt and so horrible. | ||
| And when we told that to the administration, they didn't care. | ||
| They just kept going forward. | ||
| They couldn't care less. | ||
| And they kept going forward. | ||
| They knew that they were trying to sell it back to us. | ||
| They would have sold it back to us. | ||
| You would have ended up buying it. | ||
| You would have paid probably 50, 60 cents. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But they were going to use it for scrap metal, but then they made a much better deal. | ||
| They could just buy it and sell it to us for 15, 20 times what they paid. | ||
| 20 times. | ||
| Think of it. | ||
| Like 20 times what they paid. | ||
| We wouldn't let it happen. | ||
| The governor with his attorney general, Ken Paxson, they made a fantastic, good lawyer. | ||
| He's pushed around pretty good by people, right? | ||
| They said, you got a great attorney general. | ||
| They should leave him alone. | ||
| He was with me. | ||
| So what's the... | ||
| I'm going to check Twitter. | ||
| I don't even know what this even is and what the itinerary is. | ||
| I actually called for an investigation. | ||
| How could a thing like this happen? | ||
| So he stopped it. | ||
| So we're waiting to put that wall up. | ||
| And now that you have a new president, that wall will go up so fast. | ||
| The governor will complain, sir. | ||
| This is Greg Abbott, sir. | ||
| Please. | ||
| The wall is going up too fast. | ||
| Please don't do that. | ||
| You know the story about winning. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| We're going to win too much. | ||
| We're winning too much. | ||
| Please. | ||
| People always love that one. | ||
| We'll do this with the wall. | ||
| Governor Abbott calls, sir, the wall is going up too fast. | ||
| We can't take it. | ||
| We just can't take it. | ||
| No, I think you'll be very happy if the wall goes up too fast. | ||
| But we'll get that dude and we'll work with you on that. | ||
| But it was a great decision by a great Texas judge, right? | ||
| And it was beautiful, beautiful to watch. | ||
| He stopped them right in their track. | ||
| I mean, they were literally loading the stuff under trucks. | ||
| It was terrible. | ||
| Honestly, it was terrible. | ||
| And he wouldn't take it. | ||
| So I'm so glad I mentioned that they have a really good governor in Texas. | ||
| And I swear, I didn't know he was here. | ||
| I swear to you. | ||
| Sounds like a setup. | ||
| I didn't know you were there. | ||
| Did I get lucky? | ||
| I said the right thing. | ||
| Because there have been moments when I wasn't so happy with him, you know? | ||
| But not too many, I can tell you that. | ||
| So anyway, it's good to see you too, Governor. | ||
| Great. | ||
| But I just want to thank everybody. | ||
| You've been incredible. | ||
| I recognize so many of you. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| But this has been a long journey. | ||
| This was a journey that started in 2015, probably started 20 years before that. | ||
| People used to say, you're going to run for president? | ||
| You're going to run, run, run? | ||
| And I always said, no, no, no. | ||
| I don't want... | ||
| And then one day I said, let's give it a shot. | ||
| And what I talked about then was the border, too. | ||
| I think it probably was the number one issue for me. | ||
| Back in 2015, 2016, I talked about the border. | ||
| And now I talked about the border, but this border is much worse. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know what this even is, dude. | ||
| There's nothing to talk about. | ||
| 2020, by the way, that election was totally rigged, but that's okay. | ||
| It was a rigged election. | ||
| You know the only thing good about it? | ||
| It showed how bad they are, showed how incompetent, and frankly, historically, this is a much bigger event. | ||
| If that would have gone like it should have. | ||
| The bad thing about it is some bad things happened, like a lot of people in our country that wouldn't be in our country right now. | ||
| So, you know, that's the bad part. | ||
| But I will say that it started in 2015, and right from the beginning, we went to the top. | ||
| Day one, they announced Trump, and Trump went to number one and stayed there for the whole primary, and then we took on Hillary. | ||
| She didn't look too happy today. | ||
| We took on Hillary. | ||
| This is kind of fitting, isn't it? | ||
| Like Trump was always saying, when I get elected, it will start within 10 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It will immediately, everything will immediately get better. | |
| And it's like, no, after a 15-hour weaving session, actually. | ||
| America's golden age will start after I complain for three more hours. | ||
| In the most boring speech of all time. | ||
| Then I'll sign some executive orders. | ||
| Like, nothing has been signed yet. | ||
| Nothing has been signed yet. | ||
| And this time we made it too big to rig. | ||
| It was so big. | ||
| They tried. | ||
| They tried. | ||
| Shouldn't have been like, do the speech, sign the orders. | ||
| It's like, no, I'm going to go and yap for a billion hours. | ||
| They gave up. | ||
| Last time they did bad things. | ||
| At this time they just said, you know, I don't know if you saw Mr. Speaker in Washington... | ||
| They had placards. | ||
| They were all set to march. | ||
| They thought it'd be closer. | ||
| A gentleman asked me, a very respected gentleman. | ||
| How is this still going on? | ||
| And there's like no end in sight. | ||
| It's just like one story leads into another story, into another. | ||
| and they have nothing to do with anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That they don't want to talk to anybody. | |
| So when you call somebody from Trump, who are you voting for? | ||
| They say, it's none of your business. | ||
| I'm not telling you. | ||
| They're talking about the shy Trump effect? | ||
| They would discard that one, and they didn't show that. | ||
| And then when the election happened, you know, the vote came, and it was much different. | ||
| This is dark. | ||
| We're going to win, but they thought... | ||
| They couldn't believe it. | ||
| The one man said, I mean, it was so much higher. | ||
| We won all seven swing seats. | ||
| We won the popular vote by millions of votes, which is hard for a Republican. | ||
| I'll tell you who came through. | ||
| The unions came through. | ||
| The auto workers were great. | ||
| The Teamsters were great. | ||
| The firemen were great. | ||
| I think almost every union was great. | ||
| The only one that weren't great, Sean was great, and the Teamsters, the head of the... | ||
| Sean O'Brien, the head of the Teamsters, was fantastic. | ||
| But generally speaking, the head of the union was against Trump, but the union would be with us for like 80%, 85%. | ||
| Look what we did with the auto workers in Michigan. | ||
| Look what we did with the Teamsters. | ||
| The Teamsters were unbelievable. | ||
| They were a solid Democrat vote, and they voted for Trump. | ||
| So we had a great experience. | ||
| This has been, now we have to go to work and get it done because we have to do something that's going to be great. | ||
| We're going to turn our country around. | ||
| And we're going to turn it around fast. | ||
| And I think this was a better speech than the one I made upstairs, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Definitely not. | |
| Definitely not. | ||
| I think this was much better. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I got to see my friends. | |
| So, Governor, take care of yourself. | ||
| You call me, we'll start working. | ||
| You know what that means with him. | ||
| He's going to be calling me tomorrow morning at about 6. And I said, how about next week? | ||
| You call me, and we're going to get it started real fast. | ||
| We'll really help you a lot. | ||
| You've done a fantastic job protecting something which is not supposed to be for the states. | ||
| And amazing job you've done. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| And I want to thank everybody. | ||
| And I have a first lady who's been incredible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love the hat. | |
| I shouldn't say this. | ||
| I'm going to get hell when I say this, but her feet are... | ||
| Absolutely aching. | ||
| You know those heels? | ||
| And we thought we were leaving. | ||
| We were going home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, that was going somewhere else. | |
| Sir, would you be able to go down and say hello to some of your other... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why would anyone be mad about that? | |
| Oh, I didn't know that. | ||
| Well, did you get to see pretty clearly the picture, I hope? | ||
| Good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's good. | |
| Because you wouldn't want to make the same speech again, right? | ||
| But she said, darling, I love you so much, but my feet are killing me. | ||
| I said, honey, let me just see how far it is. | ||
| I asked the person, oh, not that long, maybe four or five hundred yards. | ||
| That's five football fields. | ||
| I said, can you make it? | ||
| She said, we're going to make it no matter what. | ||
| We're going to make it because we have to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Amazing story. | ||
| It's a great story. | ||
| You know, not every story is good. | ||
| And then we went out to the helicopter, though, just prior to this, and said goodbye. | ||
| And it's a custom. | ||
| And the wind is blowing like crazy. | ||
| And with the hat that she's wearing, she almost blew away. | ||
| We almost lost off her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She was being elevated off the ground. | |
| She almost blew away. | ||
| No. | ||
| So we all appreciate it. | ||
| Because you... | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's funny. | |
| You're a great First Lady. | ||
| A beautiful and a great First Lady. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they love our First Lady. | |
| You know, J.D., whenever That's funny. | ||
| Hundreds of times, we love our First Lady. | ||
| And they do. | ||
| And they should. | ||
| She's great. | ||
| So I just want to thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I just want to thank everybody. | ||
| And I felt that I said to J.D., should we give them the A treatment, the B treatment, the C, the D, or the F? You know what the F is? | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| Thank you for being here. | ||
| Bye-bye. | ||
| I gave you the A-plus treatment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you, all. | ||
| Thank you, Governor. | ||
| Thank you all very much. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, at the end of the day, like, he is the problem. | |
| Like, not to take a dump on him or whatever, but people want to blame the advisors, the donors, the handlers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's him. | |
| Like, let's be honest, there's some defects. | ||
| And they're getting more pronounced over time. | ||
| I love him. | ||
| I have great affection for him. | ||
| But this is an opinion that's shared by other loyalists as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's him. | |
| Like, in many ways he's remarkable, in many ways he's magnificent, but... | ||
| There's some serious defects and they've only become more intense as time has gone on. | ||
| And we're talking just about the insecurity, the self-indulgence. | ||
| It's delusional. | ||
| He gave this rambling, you know, and I'm not trying to pile on here. | ||
| But we have to talk about, he just gave this rambling, totally self-indulgent. | ||
| Like, one-hour speech, airing out old grievances, totally, like, unbecoming for the moment, totally lacking magnanimity or grace. | ||
| And some people like that. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| And he thinks that everyone's loved that. | ||
| Like, in his mind, he said that was the A-plus treatment. | ||
| He thinks we're dying for more of that. | ||
| He's giving us what we want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not true. | |
| That's delusional. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
| And you know me. | ||
| I'm not like a rabid anti-Trump or whatever. | ||
| Go back and watch the speeches from 10 years ago. | ||
| Go back and watch the first Trump rally in Long Island. | ||
| That was electric. | ||
| That was exciting. | ||
| Go back and watch his first speech at Trump Tower. | ||
| That was a good speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The stuff he's putting out now is just... | |
| Jared Taylor tweeted this. | ||
| He has some pretty good tweets today about the inauguration. | ||
| He said, for Trump, there's no difference between a debate, a rally speech, an inauguration. | ||
| It's all a rally. | ||
| It's all a campaign rally. | ||
| And he's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| Everything is the same kind of formless, meandering, self-indulgent grievance, showboating. | ||
| You know, and there was arguably there was a charm to it at one time. | ||
| But it was a little sharper and it was a little more fresh back then. | ||
| But after 10 years of it, it's just stale and monotonous and brutal to listen to. | ||
| And, you know, this was a big part of my critique during the campaign. | ||
| We got to be realistic. | ||
| Like, that's just the Trump that we have. | ||
| And, you know, it is what it is. | ||
| But this is who we're dealing with. | ||
| People get really caught up with sentimentality and some of the rhetoric and the propaganda that gets put out, the video edits on TikTok or whatever. | ||
| But at the end of the day, this is who we have. | ||
| This is the real Trump. | ||
| So for all of the aura and pomp and everything like that... | ||
| When you put this guy in front of a microphone, this is what you get every time, and it sucks. | ||
| And it's been this way for like seven years, roughly speaking. | ||
| My first Trump rally I went to was in 2018 in Indiana, and it was like this. | ||
| It wasn't like this in 15, 16. It started to get this way around 17 and 18, and it's been like that for a long time. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| He's just not... | ||
| And it's the unfortunate part. | ||
| He's a great politician. | ||
| He's a great campaigner. | ||
| He has a certain intuition, instinct. | ||
| But as an executive, very weak. | ||
| Governing the executive branch is not his strong suit. | ||
| Does not have the skill set. | ||
| And unfortunately, someone like Vance or DeSantis, they probably would be good at that. | ||
| And I didn't support DeSantis, and I don't like DeSantis. | ||
| But in terms of skill, independent of whether you agree with him, DeSantis is a far more skilled executive. | ||
| Vance, probably. | ||
| And I hate Vance, and I don't want him to be president because he is not aligned with us. | ||
| But Vance would be a far more skilled executive, just purely in terms of administrative skill. | ||
| On a technical level. | ||
| And Trump does not have that. | ||
| And that's why Trump failed to get his agenda through the first term. | ||
| It wasn't all the obstacles. | ||
| It was a lack of competence. | ||
| So, you know, this is a time for honesty. | ||
| You know, a lot of people like to get caught up. | ||
| We have to be very, very... | ||
| We have to not only be honest, but we also have to be... | ||
| It's perceptive about the shortcomings of this movement, of the person leading it. | ||
| It doesn't mean you have to hate the guy. | ||
| It doesn't mean it's all bad. | ||
| But we do have to look at the big picture. | ||
| I mean, Zuckerberg and Chan are here. | ||
| Zuckerberg Chan Foundation put $300 million in Get Out to Vote in 2020 for Joe Biden. | ||
| Now they're here. | ||
| What do you think happened in the last four years that changed their mind? | ||
| Do you think that Zuckerberg and Chan got red-pilled in the last four years? | ||
| Or do you think that Trump became less of a threat? | ||
| Do you think that they realized that if they bandwagoned onto Trump that they could get some regulatory benefit? | ||
| They know they could get some benefit. | ||
| They're not threatened by Trump. | ||
| They don't see him as a revolutionary figure. | ||
| I think it's obviously the latter. | ||
| And here's another thing, and Academic Agent tweeted this. | ||
| I've become actually a fan of his. | ||
| He used to not like me, but we kind of came around because we both see the same thing happening. | ||
| But Academic Agent, who's on Twitter, said that the Trump inaugural gave the system what it needed, which is buyback. | ||
| They needed people to buy back into the system. | ||
| All of Trump's supporters that were willing to burn down the Capitol four years ago are now firmly back into the camp. | ||
| Voting, believing, optimistic, the stuff about a golden age. | ||
| He said that it did just a trick, and I think he's right. | ||
| That's what I said throughout the campaign. | ||
| This is a handshake between the establishment and Trump's base. | ||
| Trump is a compromise. | ||
| The establishment realized they'd have to live with him, but they'd only have to live with him for four more years, and they could control him. | ||
| And they threw that bone to the base, and that's why no one is too perturbed about this. | ||
| You know who's perturbed about Trump getting into office? | ||
| Real leftists. | ||
| You know who's not? | ||
| Everybody else. | ||
| The media's not perturbed. | ||
| The oligarchs, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, even the Democrats. | ||
| Are not the slightest bit perturbed that Trump won. | ||
| All that stuff about threat to democracy, Hitler, etc. | ||
| It all went out the window. | ||
| They conceded immediately. | ||
| They rushed to commit to attending the inauguration for the sake of the peaceful transition. | ||
| New York Times is even somewhat positive. | ||
| Like they did a profile on Curtis Yarvin. | ||
| And you had Democrats saying, yeah, Trump will win, but it's not that big of a deal. | ||
| And that's because this is sort of – the system views this as a necessary evil. | ||
| They're not – they don't love it. | ||
| They're not happy about it. | ||
| But they're kind of being cheeky and they're kind of embracing it in a sort of like ironic, self-aware way because they know this is a stepping stone. | ||
| Elite money realizes this is a stepping stone to unregulated oligopoly, monopoly. | ||
| It's like a new Gilded Age. | ||
| Fifteen years ago, the billionaires were giving away all their money. | ||
| Now they're hoarding it. | ||
| Now Elon has $450 billion. | ||
| They're taking advantage. | ||
| They see the opportunity. | ||
| They're taking advantage. | ||
| That's why it's a libertarian thing and it's not a nationalist thing. | ||
| So they're flavoring it with a patriotic kind of patina. | ||
| But rolling back DEI, some of the climate stuff, the regulatory state, this all benefits capital. | ||
| It's a very clear benefit that they all derive from this. | ||
| I still, look, I'm going to be fair to Trump, but I still remain very pessimistic about the next four years. | ||
| And we're going to wrap up this stream in a minute. | ||
| This is going to do it for us. | ||
| I'm going to wrap up in a minute here. | ||
| I just want to end by saying a few things. | ||
| And we'll see if we have any, usually I don't get super chats on these streams, but I think we have some here. | ||
| So I'll read our super chats. | ||
| I'll say a few more things. | ||
| We're going to wrap this stream up in a minute. | ||
| And then I'm going to be back here tonight at 8 o'clock. | ||
| I'll be back here tonight for the first episode of my show in about a month, 8 o'clock Central tonight, and then I am back. | ||
| I'll be here the rest of the week. | ||
| I'll be here for the foreseeable future. | ||
| But this is the last thing I'll say. | ||
| We're going to cover a lot tonight on the show, but the last thing I'll say is this. | ||
| This is Trump's second inauguration. | ||
| As I've said repeatedly, it's a remarkable and a powerful narrative. | ||
| This comeback, the assassination attempt, overcoming the challenges and hurdles, a second term, seeing these faces here, Zuckerberg, the Google CEO, Apple CEO, Elon, it's all pretty remarkable. | ||
| It's easy to get caught up in the sentimentality of the moment. | ||
| I didn't vote for Trump. | ||
| And I didn't vote for Trump because I think that Trump is being used as a vehicle to advance the interests of the regime. | ||
| And no doubt, we are at an inflection point in terms of technology, in terms of governance. | ||
| We are, without question, turning a page, at least superficially, on a very left-wing, woke culture. | ||
| But in many ways, things structurally remain the same. | ||
| And the big beneficiaries of this administration are going to be the people that paid for it. | ||
| In 2016, 70% of Trump's donations came from small-dollar donors, which means less than $200. | ||
| In 2024, that number is 28%. | ||
| So it went from 70% in 2016... | ||
| Of all Trump's contributions came from those giving under $200 in 2024, the proportion of contributions that came from small-dollar donors was 28%, a little bit more than half. | ||
| And if you look at the top 10 individual donors by dollar amount, in 2016, almost all of them were Democrats. | ||
| In 2024, Eight of them were Republicans, including the top six, including the top five. | ||
| Elon Musk, Miriam Adelson, among others. | ||
| Mark Andreessen in the number 10 spot. | ||
| This was a billionaire paid for campaign. | ||
| Billionaires. | ||
| Elon Musk gave $277 million. | ||
| That's the biggest contribution in like four cycles. | ||
| It's absolutely massive. | ||
| And they're expecting to benefit in the form of government contracts, favorable regulations, regulatory capture. | ||
| Miriam Adelson put in over $100 million. | ||
| She will benefit. | ||
| And many of the tech oligarchs are compromised by Israel. | ||
| They will benefit in the form of favorable treatment for Israel. | ||
| And so I continue to believe that the big beneficiaries of this administration will be the tech oligarchs that bought in with Trump, the state of Israel, Wall Street. | ||
| We're talking about corporate tax cuts. | ||
| We're talking about the energy lobby, oil and gas lobby benefiting immensely. | ||
| We're talking about Trump underwriting the expansion of the state of Israel. | ||
| We're talking about government contracts for Palantir, SpaceX, Star Shield, all these different programs under Elon Musk. | ||
| And I think, again, the revolutionary fervor of the first Trump campaign, which was about opposing the establishment, about nationalism, I think that is basically being steered. | ||
| There's a Pied Piper effect. | ||
| Trump's cult-like following, which he developed with the nationalist populist message, that energy is being rerouted, certainly away from anything revolutionary, back into the establishment for the benefit of billionaires. | ||
| And Trump is being used as a vehicle for that. | ||
| It's like private equity. | ||
| They recognized that Trump was facing jail or an assassination at the end of his political career. | ||
| I think they saw that... | ||
| There was a good chance for Trump or the Republicans to win the White House. | ||
| I think they bought him at his lowest, and now they expect to benefit immensely. | ||
| And I think anybody that's arguing to the contrary that Trump is actually going to be energetic and independent and he is going to rout these people that he's hired or the people that bought his campaign, it's belied by the fact that that is who he is. | ||
| You know, in other words, people think Trump is going to surprise us. | ||
| He's got something under his sleeve. | ||
| He's actually going to turn now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election and he's going to outmaneuver the billionaires and the bureaucrats. | ||
| It's belied by what we just saw. | ||
| No, there is no secret beast. | ||
| He's an 80-year-old man. | ||
| He's, in many ways, severely defective. | ||
| 80-year-old man, and I know that's a nasty thing to say. | ||
| I don't say that with cruelty, but it is what it is. | ||
| He is tired. | ||
| He has been through a lot. | ||
| He was already an abnormal person. | ||
| The idea that he's going to outmaneuver them as opposed to the other way around, it's just not rooted in reality. | ||
| So I am very pessimistic about the next four years. | ||
| The only benefit that I see is this. | ||
| If Trump fails, if there is a crisis under Trump, it will... | ||
| It will actually undermine the credibility of the center. | ||
| If the center-left and the center-right are both a catastrophe, it could be a fertile ground for genuine radicalism. | ||
| And people are already talking about a class warfare sentiment rising up, and I don't love that, but I'm not necessarily opposed to it entirely. | ||
| But if the center-right pushes too far, if they overplay their hand, and I think they will, if there's failures, I don't think there's enough time for the center-left to recoup. | ||
| I think that in 2028, there's an opportunity for genuine radicalism to come from the right or the left, and I think that's beneficial. | ||
| So I'm looking ahead to 28. I'm looking ahead to 2032. I think that if the – let's say Trump sucks or is mediocre, and then if Vance gets in and he's terrible, If they infringe on our liberties, if artificial intelligence creates tremendous disruption in society, then maybe by 28 or 32, we could see something really fresh and really radical. | ||
| That's kind of, I think, the only hope. | ||
| I don't think Trump will deliver the victory. | ||
| I think Trump is putting us to sleep. | ||
| And the only thing that's going to wake us up is a fresh catastrophe. | ||
| Not that I want that to happen, but I think that might be necessary. | ||
| Oh, hey. | ||
| And then there's more. | ||
| Okay, so we'll watch this and then we'll do super chats. | ||
| So there's an executive order signing ceremony. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So I filibustered until the next thing. | ||
| Okay, well, so we'll watch this. | ||
| Then I'll read the super chats. | ||
| Then we will. | ||
| And I'll leave and come back at eight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We went to the helicopter. | |
| It was freezing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The sun is a little deceptive. | |
| So what would you like us to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sign your orders. | |
| Here we go. | ||
| Okay, I assume they're going to be happy with these documents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a tradition. | |
| Sir, the first is 22 cabinet and cabinet-level appointments for your signature. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So this is just cabinet appointments. | ||
| Looks like he's got five executive orders there, including this one. | ||
| The media was saying there would be 200. I see five. | ||
| The next one will be 47 sub-cabinet level appointments. | ||
| Okay, so this is just a formality. | ||
| These are the sub-cabinet appointments. | ||
| I'm hoping these are not all the executive orders, because they said there'd be between 50 and 200, and two of these are cabinet, and then there's three more. | ||
| So I think this might just be the formal ones, unless I'm wrong. | ||
| Yeah, that must be what this is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's do that. | |
| That's important. | ||
| We have 15 commission chairman and acting chairman appointments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Send here. | |
| I'm going to ask you a question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, sir. | |
| Good, Commission Chairman. | ||
| He was number one at Harvard Hall. | ||
| Do you know that? | ||
| Good counsel. | ||
| They have something in common. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Lastly, we have a proclamation ordering about all future inauguration days, including this inauguration day that flags shall be flown at full mast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, come on now. | |
| When are they going to sign the real executive orders? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| I thought it was a beautiful place to have. | ||
| An inauguration tonight. | ||
| The sound was so good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The temperature was 72 degrees. | |
| But the sound was so good. | ||
| Maybe something to think about. | ||
| Let me see if I can find any online. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good acoustics. | |
| Yes. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Very good. | ||
| It's nice to reach out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
| There you go. | ||
| Take that. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. President. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Sarah. | |
| Mr. President, did you have a good meeting with Board President Biden? | ||
| Very nice. | ||
| Very nice. | ||
| Beautiful customer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, any reaction? | |
| It goes back as long as hell comes. | ||
| Before that, it was a stagecoach. | ||
| But I thought it was beautiful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Great job. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Mr. President, do you have any reaction to the part that Mr. President Biden did at the last minute? | ||
| Well, I'm not going to discuss it now. | ||
| I think it was unfortunate that he did that. | ||
| We won't discuss it now. | ||
| There's plenty of time to discuss. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Chris. | |
| Thank you very much, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Should we go to lunch? | |
| All right. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Head to lunch. | ||
| Ready for lunch? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That was three times the number of appointments you did in 2017, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| So they're going to go eat lunch. | ||
| So am I. So that's it. | ||
| So that is the inauguration stream. | ||
| We got the inauguration ceremony. | ||
| We got some rambling, crazy speech. | ||
| Some formal executive orders about appointments. | ||
| And I guess Trump is expected to sign 100 executive orders later in the day. | ||
| So we'll probably be covering that tonight on the show. | ||
| I'm going to go through our super chats. | ||
| Then I'm going to get out of here. | ||
| Like I said, show us tonight at 8. Make sure to tune in. | ||
| We're going to go over a lot of stuff. | ||
| We're going to talk about a lot of the things that have happened between the election and the transition, mainly focusing on the things since Christmas that I wasn't here to cover. | ||
| So we'll talk about the H-1B debacle. | ||
| We're going to talk about the budgetary process in Congress. | ||
| We're going to talk about the Gaza ceasefire deal. | ||
| And we'll talk about, hopefully, the executive orders and the first 100 days. | ||
| Obviously, there's a lot to discuss about what happens next, and we're going to cover that later tonight. | ||
| But I'm going to take a look at the Super Chats. | ||
| We'll see what you guys are saying. | ||
| Then I'm going to get out of here, and I will see you later. | ||
| So let me see here. | ||
| I already got a lot of them. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True, we'll cover that tonight. | |
| you Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much, man. | ||
| I appreciate the huge super chat. | ||
| It's good to be back. | ||
| It's good to be back. | ||
| Honestly, my vacation sucked. | ||
| I took about a month off and I really didn't do anything. | ||
| I realized I'm kind of a loser without this show because this is all I care about. | ||
| This is all I am. | ||
| Like, I did nothing because I genuinely, without the show, without this movement, without politics, I don't think I would exist as a person. | ||
| Like, there's nothing else I enjoy besides politics. | ||
| I like to eat at restaurants. | ||
| I like to go in a hot tub. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And then I do this show. | ||
| So I was kind of in, like, an existential crisis. | ||
| I mean, not really, but I missed the show. | ||
| I didn't miss the super chats, but I did miss doing the show. | ||
| So it's... | ||
| I didn't realize how much I needed this movement. | ||
| The movement needs me. | ||
| The movement would die without me. | ||
| I think I would die without the movement too. | ||
| So it's very good to be back with you. | ||
| I was excited to come back. | ||
| I don't know how much that excitement is going to last by Friday. | ||
| I think we're going to get to the Super Chats on Friday and I'm going to be ready to go back on vacation. | ||
| But I did. | ||
| I had some time. | ||
| You kind of need that. | ||
| You kind of need to go away and realize this is your life to be excited to come back. | ||
| Because I just feel like nothing else is important. | ||
| If I didn't have to do this show, I just wouldn't even get out of bed because it's like, I don't know how people do it. | ||
| I don't know how people do everything else. | ||
| You know? | ||
| But I'm a weird guy, so it's good to be back, truly. | ||
| But I appreciate it. | ||
| I did have some time to rest up. | ||
| Get ready for another year. | ||
| I'm ready to lock in. | ||
| It's going to be a big and exciting year. | ||
| And I have a lot of stuff planned. | ||
| And I'm going to lock in and it's going to be a very eventful year. | ||
| So anyway, I appreciate the big super chat, man. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Appreciate the support as always. | ||
| That's what I'm here for. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| Thank you, man. | ||
| Good to be back. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Well, hey, I'm sure you needed it. | ||
| It's like, oh, sorry. | ||
| Was I putting you out by taking a break? | ||
| I haven't taken more than a week off of doing this show since I started it eight years ago. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Someone's telling me my Super Chat audio is off. | ||
| You guys aren't hearing the audio. | ||

| You think she has anything to do with the coin? | ||
| You think she knows what a blockchain is? | ||
| I don't blame her. | ||
| I blame Trump. | ||
| I don't blame her for the scam. | ||
| She doesn't even know how to speak English. | ||

| Chat 1142 cent $10. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Hope you got some good time off. | ||
| Also, you're in fifth place right now and live yours right behind Trump. | ||
| Yet for some reason, you're not on the main homepage. | ||
| Do you think Rumble is limiting you? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| They definitely removed me from the homepage. | ||
| I'm in fourth place now. | ||
| I was in fourth place for most of it, which is pretty remarkable because it's like two Trump streams, RSBN and Trump's channel himself and Steven Crowder. | ||
| And I was fourth. | ||
| And Crowder's invested in Rumble. | ||
| Crowder, they promote the shit out of him. | ||
| So it was like, Crowder, RSBN, Trump, me. | ||
| Which is nuts because they don't even put me on the front page. | ||
| I was gone for a month. | ||
| I'm the most canceled man in America. | ||
| So yeah, it's pretty good. | ||

|
right. | |

| Instead of a revolution, it's Indians and tax cuts. | ||

| Welcome back, King. | ||
| Well, don't be too hopeful. | ||
| We have to be honest. | ||
| He stands like a retard. | ||
| He stands like a fat retard, which is what he is. | ||
| Now, he's actually pretty intelligent, but he doesn't know how to behave. | ||
| So, yeah, he stands in a very bizarre way. | ||
| Like everything he does. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Hey, good to be back. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The look on his face was awesome. | ||
| Hey, thanks for the big super chat! | ||
| What's up, Hoplite? | ||
| It's good to be back. | ||
| appreciate you that black guy's speech ruined it absolute cringe i don't want to say it but it's so typical that the black guy is allowed an obnoxious one in the room skull well you know that's their culture whatever They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. | ||
| I mean, people look at stuff like that and they say, oh, well, you know, that's just classic, like a black preacher sort of a thing. | ||
| It's actually super disrespectful. | ||
| There's such a thing called decorum, which means that kind of loud and animated kind of delivery. | ||
| It's just not appropriate for that venue. | ||
| But, you know, black people get it passed on everything because nobody wants to tell them what's appropriate. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Do you think Trump's entire cabinet will be confirmed? | ||
| Apparently, Tulsi Gabbard is facing a lot of opposition. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think that, so that's Pete Hegseth. | ||
| Obviously, he was getting a ton of opposition because of the sexual assault accusations. | ||
| But his hearing, I mean, it didn't go great, but it seems like... | ||
| There's pressure to confirm him. | ||
| Tulsi's going to be tough. | ||
| You know, she changed her mind on the FISA warrantless spying. | ||
| You see that? | ||
| She opposed it her whole career. | ||
| Now she supports it. | ||
| So that was one of the hurdles. | ||
| You know, honestly, I don't see how she gets in. | ||
| She met with Bashar al-Assad in 2017. How is she going to get by a Republican Senate? | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| I don't know the dynamics well enough. | ||
| So, you know, maybe she'll get in. | ||
| It depends on how much political capital Trump is willing to expend. | ||
| But, I mean, the real question, she is, in my opinion, the least likely, followed by RFK Jr., followed by Pete Hegseth. | ||
| And I think Hegseth will get in. | ||
| Tulsi, I think she'll have trouble because she's pretty out there for a high-level appointment like that. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||

| It was like that scene in Interstellar watching politics without doing the show for a month. | ||
| You know the meme where he's banging on the bookcase? | ||
| That was me for like a month. | ||
| Because there's no one else who fucking gets it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No one else. | |
| No one else. | ||
| Academic agent kind of gets it. | ||
| I mean, like, he gets it more than most. | ||
| And Jared Taylor gets it, although he won't criticize Jews. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| Like, those are two people. | ||
| But Taylor gets the problem with Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He gets everything other than the Jew thing. | |
| So it's like, they kind of get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's it. | |
| And then it's me. | ||
| But I'm the only one that really gets it 100%. | ||
| So that is difficult. | ||
| That other guy gets it. | ||
| Neobactrian, who's like a gay liberal or something. | ||
| But he gets it. | ||
| Is that his handle? | ||
| I don't know his old handle, but he's like a big critic of the BAP network. | ||
| I think he's probably more left-wing than me, but he gets it. | ||
| And Richard Spencer gets it, although not 100% because he's like an Apollonian. | ||
| But yeah, it's like we were really missing. | ||
| I really am the indispensable person, as I always have been. | ||
| So, you need me. | ||
|

Everyone needs me back. | |
| I like him. | ||
| He seems like a good guy. | ||
| I just don't like all the... | ||
| I don't like all that animation. | ||
| But it is what it is. | ||
| He seems like a nice guy. | ||
| It's not, like, totally his fault, but... | ||
| It should be more respectful. | ||
| Hey, thank you. | ||
| Love you. | ||
| That was hilarious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it's really like Israel's the main character. | ||

Thank you for the big super chat, dude. | |
| Stop sending me all this money. | ||
| It's emasculating for a woman to send me all this money. | ||
| I'm not going to give it back, but it's emasculating when a woman sends me a big super chat. | ||
| But I appreciate it anyway. | ||
| I will not be returning it. | ||
| I can't wait until the day this vague. | ||
| Inclusive God is despised and the only God Jesus Christ is recognized in all his glory. | ||
| Glad you're back, Nick. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| That was basic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but I agree with you. | |
| It's just the way you say it sometimes. | ||
| It's a little try-hard. | ||
| But I agree with you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, I think that's our last super chat. | ||

My colleague, Senator, distinguished guests, including the Speaker, Leader Jeffries, and Senate leaders. | |

On behalf of the United States Congress, welcome to the 60th inaugural lunch. | |
| Big surprise, we are featuring Nebraska beef and Minnesota apples for dessert. | ||
| We are here in Statuary Hall, where these luncheons have taken place since President Reagan's first inauguration in 1981, and where the House of Representatives once met. | ||
| That's going to do it for me tonight. | ||
| I'm not going to watch all that. | ||
| That's going to do it for me, I should say, this afternoon. | ||
| I am going to be back at 8 o'clock Central, so make sure to smash the follow button. | ||
