We show welco, welcomer policy, 3 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:51.200 human Joy. 4 00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.679 Welcome back to policy and rights. Here in Depictions Media Radio, 5 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:01.920 I'm your hosts Michael clogges. 6 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:03.359 Well. 7 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.640 Donald Trump has been inaugurated back into office, and in 8 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:18.920 his speech shortly after his inauguration, he announced his intentions 9 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.959 to and how he is going to make America great again. 10 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:33.280 That he is going to take back the Panama Canal 11 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:39.239 because of course China controls it, and that he is 12 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:49.239 going to put troops along the Mexican border to protect 13 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.680 the United States from Mexico. He is enacting a policy 14 00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:04.000 to keep Mexico in Mexico. That he is going to 15 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:09.639 round up and deport all of the criminals that have 16 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:16.319 come across the border illegally, and he is going to 17 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.319 do other other things that may see may seem small 18 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:30.240 but actually translate into bigger intentions, such as saying that 19 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.919 there are only two genders in the in the US 20 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.039 now only male and female. Then that can translate into 21 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:46.199 the loss of trans rights lgbt Q rights that have 22 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.520 been long fought for, and we've already seen how the 23 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.120 Republicans using the Supreme Court overturned roversus weighed thus and 24 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:05.240 thus so uh, limiting the rights of women to healthcare, 25 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.479 and then then of course also confusing the issues by 26 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.719 saying that it was solely about abortion when Roe versus 27 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.840 Weight had very little to do with abortion. There are 28 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:34.800 other things that he has gone after that, in things 29 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.680 that he is going to create, such as the External 30 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:44.919 Revenue Service, which is going to collect the terrriffs and 31 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.240 the taxes that are supposed to be placed on important 32 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.120 goods into the United States. That he is going to 33 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:01.479 overturn green policies so that he can drove oil. He 34 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.840 said it himself, We're going to drill, baby, drill. That 35 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.759 he is going to put an end to some of 36 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.800 the federal programs that were put in place for electric cars. 37 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.759 He's going to put an end to them so that 38 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:22.079 we all can drive the car of our choice. Well, 39 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.160 some things aren't seemingly so bad being able to choose. Hey, 40 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.000 do I want a gas car, Do I want a 41 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.920 hybrid car? Or do I want an electric car? They 42 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.560 seemingly aren't so bad. It is it is what lies 43 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.040 beyond that. What is the next thing that he is 44 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.639 going to take apart such as he is going to 45 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.839 take a part of the public healthcare system, which those 46 00:04:53.879 --> 00:05:01.319 outside the US they see that there is that there 47 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:07.160 isn't any central government controlled healthcare system. But if you 48 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.600 ever have, for instance, a sick baby from the time 49 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.879 of birth, that there is a program and there are 50 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.519 social workers to help you pay millions of dollars in 51 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:29.120 healthcare costs to hospitals and doctors so that you aren't 52 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:38.360 going to go broke. There are ways in in the 53 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:47.040 US that the different systems that help help keep people healthy, 54 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.920 and it's just you have to know, have to get 55 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.639 involved with different social workers and things to be able 56 00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:01.920 to find them. Here. There's a lot of things that 57 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:07.879 he is threatening, a lot of things that he says 58 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:16.000 he's going to do that on the surface seem very 59 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.480 benigne and hey, well why not, right, and then until 60 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:27.040 you look deeper into the policies at hand and discover 61 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:36.319 more much deeper intentions that could cause oppression to people 62 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.120 not only in the United States but around the world, 63 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.279 such as how is he going to take the Panama 64 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:55.240 Canal back? Such as how is he going to make 65 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:03.199 a message to the in the Middle East? How is 66 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.560 he going to do that? How is he going to 67 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:14.439 going to stop money going to protect farm borders and 68 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.120 PU and how much is he going to spend on 69 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:24.399 protecting a single US border between Mexico and the United States. 70 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.160 There's a lot that is going to happen. How is 71 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.480 the softwood industry in British Columbia, the oil and gas 72 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:46.079 industry in Alberta going to be affected by his statements 73 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:53.839 of drill baby drill and using only US resources for 74 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.879 UH for future projects, and even the external revenue service 75 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.720 that will collect the tariffs. How is that going to 76 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:14.959 affect everyone else around the United States. He is claiming 77 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.439 he is going to make America rich again, that he 78 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:23.040 is going to make the citizens of the United States 79 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:28.279 the richest people on the planet. He is making these claims, 80 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:36.759 but he also made a statement about the LA fires, 81 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.000 saying that how things were mishandled and that there were 82 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.000 people in the room, the rich people in the room 83 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:51.639 who lost a house in the LA fires, the wildfires, 84 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:59.240 and how their homes should have been protected. What about 85 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:07.639 the working class people who won't have insurance, they don't 86 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:12.120 have bank accounts to rebuild. What is going to happen 87 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:17.639 to their homes? What about them? It's the people that 88 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:22.200 he isn't talking about in some of these statements that 89 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:30.519 makes you wonder what his real intentions are. So you've 90 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:39.200 already listened to some of the inauguration and you heard 91 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.440 it yesterday. We're going to play some of the highlights 92 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:48.799 of that again Donald Trump's speeches and take a good 93 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:55.440 listen to what he is saying, and maybe come try 94 00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:00.159 to decide for yourself what his intentions are and what 95 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.919 it is that we should be looking out for, both 96 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:10.399 the good and the bad. So why don't we move 97 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:16.159 forward and we're going to listen to his acceptance speech 98 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:22.279 for the inauguration for him to become the forty seventh 99 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.399 President of the United States of America. 100 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.320 Please welcome the Chairwoman of the Joint Congressional Committee on 101 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.360 Inaugural Ceremonies, the Honorable Amy Clovishar. 102 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:48.480 Good morning, everyone, Welcome to the sixtieth presidential inauguration. Today, 103 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:53.759 President elect Trump and Vice President elect Vance will take 104 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:57.840 their o's of office, and we will witness the peaceful 105 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:08.960 transfer of power at the art of our democracy. For 106 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.159 the past year, I've chaired the Inaugural Ceremony Committee, which 107 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:18.200 includes the leadership of Congress from both parties. We thank 108 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.279 the Committee and Capital staff and law enforcement who worked 109 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.240 so hard over the last year and especially the last 110 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.519 three days. You've done a beautiful job, and you have 111 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:40.799 shown grace under pressure. Our theme this year is our 112 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.200 enduring democracy. The presidence of so many presidents and vice 113 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.559 presidents here today is truly a testament to that endurance. 114 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:55.679 We welcome President Biden and Doctor Biden. We welcome Vice 115 00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:01.200 President Harris and Doug Elmahoff, President Obama, President Clinton and 116 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.799 Secretary Clinton, President Bush and Laura Bush, Vice President Pence, 117 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.759 Vice President Quail, and Maryland Quail. The Justices of the 118 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.840 United States Supreme Court are with us, all nine of 119 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.200 them I counted, and of course the Trump advance families. 120 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:25.440 This ceremony marks what will soon be two hundred and 121 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.799 fifty years of our democracy. 122 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.039 It is the moment when leaders. 123 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.960 Elevated by the will of the people, promise to be 124 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:38.240 faithful to our constitution, to cherish and defend it. It 125 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.039 is the moment when they become, as we all should be, 126 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:46.840 the guardians of our country through war and peace, through 127 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:51.759 adversity and prosperity. We hold this inauguration every four years, 128 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.159 and today it falls on Martin Luther King Day, a 129 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.919 further reminder that we must strive to uphold the value 130 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:05.960 enshrined in our Constitution, the freedoms, the liberties, and as 131 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.879 is inscribed on the entrance of the United States Supreme Court, 132 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:22.399 equal justice under law. But what makes this moment more 133 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.000 than a passing ceremony is all who are watching it 134 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.559 across the country, the people of this nation, the ordinary 135 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.759 people doing extraordinary things. President Kennedy, who at one point 136 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.000 worked as a senator in this building and would often 137 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.279 walk through this very rotunda, once said, in a democracy, 138 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.639 every citizen, regardless of interest in politics, holds office. Every 139 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:53.440 one of us is in a position of responsibility. With 140 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:58.320 that responsibility of citizenship comes in obligation not to seek 141 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:02.440 out malice, as President Lincoln once reminded us, but to 142 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:06.720 view others with a generosity of spirit despite our differences. 143 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:12.559 With that responsibility of leadership comes an obligation to stand 144 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.279 our ground when we must, and find common ground when 145 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:21.080 we can. With everything swirling around us, the hot mess 146 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.320 of division, it is on all of us, to quote 147 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.480 an incredible songwriter who just happened to be born in 148 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.759 my state, to ensure that our Nation's democracy is our 149 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:38.279 shelter from the storm. There's a reason this ceremony takes 150 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.879 place at the capitol. 151 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.919 In other countries it. 152 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.200 Might be in a presidential palace or a gilded executive 153 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:49.039 office building. Here, it is traditionally held at the Capitol, 154 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.080 the people's house. It is a fitting reminder of the 155 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:57.279 system of checks and balances that is the very foundation 156 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:03.519 of our government. Three will branches of government. That is 157 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:06.840 how for nearly two hundred and fifty years, our great 158 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.360 American experiment, grounded in. 159 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.399 The rule of law, has endured. 160 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:17.840 So as we inaugurate a new president and vice president, 161 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.279 let us remember that the power of those in. 162 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.879 This room comes from the people. 163 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:29.759 The construction workers who build our country, the teachers and 164 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:34.720 healthcare workers who nurture us, the troops defending our freedoms, 165 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:40.120 and yes, the firefighters in Los Angeles putting themselves on 166 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:56.240 the line for us. Our democracy's strength and grit must 167 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:57.639 match theirs. 168 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:23.159 May God bless our nation. Thank you, good afternoon. 169 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:30.080 Endurance through the years is the ultimate test. To persevere 170 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.960 through time is the truest measure of an idea, an institution. 171 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.039 And a nation. 172 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:45.000 Our founders wrote the Constitution so that America could withstand 173 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.720 all the twists and turns of time. They wrote it 174 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:56.399 to guide us and to preserve forever our right of life, liberty, 175 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:01.360 and the pursuit of happiness. But much as the truths 176 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:07.359 and principles enshrined in our Constitution remain the same, our 177 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:13.279 democracy promises the American people the power to change, to 178 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:19.079 chart their own destiny. That's the beauty, that is the 179 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:27.759 importance of democracy. It allows the endurance the permanence of 180 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:33.960 a nation through change. It allows nations like our United States, 181 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:39.799 both to avoid the obstacles and to seize the opportunities 182 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.240 God has placed before us, always staying true to our 183 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:53.599 founding principles. Today is our country's sixtieth inauguration ceremony. Like 184 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.079 all the others before it, it is a celebration of 185 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:01.000 our right to set our uniquely American course. 186 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.680 The past several years have. 187 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:09.319 Been trying at times for many many Americans, and also 188 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.759 for the nations of the free world that we. 189 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.839 Humbly strive to lead. 190 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:21.759 In November, Americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness, 191 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:29.599 the secure, safe, and prosperous future that our founders envisioned 192 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.799 for all of us, and today we celebrate not only 193 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:39.480 their decision to do so, but also the simple right 194 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:47.240 and wisdom of a free people to make their own choice. 195 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:48.200 So that their nation might endure. 196 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:54.759 And now allow me to welcome Archbishop Timothy Dolan and 197 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:59.079 Reverend Franklin Graham, who will deliver our invocation. 198 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:13.599 Please rise, be still. 199 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.599 And know that I am God, supreme among the nations, 200 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:26.400 supreme on the earth. Let us pray, remembering General George 201 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:31.839 Washington on his knees at Valley Forge, Recalling Abraham Lincoln 202 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:36.359 at his second inaugural, with malice toward none, with charity 203 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:39.039 for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives 204 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:44.759 us to see the right. Remembering General George Patten's instructions 205 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.160 to his soldiers as they began the Battle of the 206 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:52.039 Bulge eight decades ago. Pray, pray when fighting, Pray alone, 207 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.480 Pray with others. Pray by night, pray by day. Observing 208 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.400 the birthday of the Reverend Luther King, who warned, without God, 209 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:09.200 our efforts turned to ashes. We blessed citizens of this 210 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.359 one nation under God, humbled by our claim that in 211 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.720 God we trust, gather indeed this Inauguration day to pray 212 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.519 for our President, Donald J.

We cannot air in relying upon that 217 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:46.839 prayer from the Bible upon which our president will soon 218 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.279 place his hand, an oath as we make our own 219 00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:54.960 the supplications of King Solomon, for wisdom as he began 220 00:20:55.039 --> 00:21:00.519 his governance, God of our fathers, in your wisdom, Man, 221 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.079 to govern your creatures, to govern and holiness and justice, 222 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:09.480 to render justice with integrity.

If wisdom, which comes not from You 225 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.319 be not with him, he shall be held. 226 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:19.839 In no esteem. 227 00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:24.079 Sin Wisdom from heavens, that she may be with him, 228 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:31.119 that he may know your designs.

You are the God in 230 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.240 whom we trust, who lives and reigns forever and ever, Amen. 231 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.839 Mister President. The last four years, there are times I'm 232 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.680 sure you thought it was pretty dark, But look what 233 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:06.079 God is done, we praise him and give him glory. 234 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.279 Let us pray. 235 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:20.559 Our Father and our God that has said, blessed is 236 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:25.400 the nation whose God is the Lord. As the prophet 237 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.319 Daniel prayed, blessed be the name of God forever and 238 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:34.079 ever for wisdom and mightter his He changes the times 239 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.599 and the seasons. He removes kings, he raises up kings. 240 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.400 He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those 241 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:48.359 who have understanding our Father. Today, as President Donald J. 242 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.039 Trump takes the oath of office once again, we come 243 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.880 to say thank you, o Lord, our god father. When 244 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.240 Donald Trump's enemies thought he was down and out, you 245 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.839 and you alone, saved his life and raised him up 246 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:09.559 with strength and power by your mighty hand. We pray 247 00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:14.000 for President Trump that you'll watch over, protect, guide, direct him, 248 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:20.000 give him your wisdom from your throne on high. We 249 00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.640 asked that you would bless him and that our nation 250 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.480 would be blessed through him. We also asked that you 251 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.799 would bless and protect Milagnia as first lady. We thank 252 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.720 you for the beauty, the warmth, and grace that she 253 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.519 shows not only to this nation, but to the whole world. 254 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:44.000 We thank you for Vice President elect JD. Vance and 255 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:47.359 his wife Ushah and their young family. May he be 256 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:51.119 a strength to President Trump to stand beside him, to 257 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:54.039 hold up his arms like Aaron held up arms of Moses. 258 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.839 In the midst of battle, the prophet Samuel reminded the 259 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.000 people it was you that brought them up from the 260 00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:05.279 land of Egypt, and he said, now stand still, that 261 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.680 I may reason with you before the Lord. So, Father, 262 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.279 we take this moment to stand still, to remember the 263 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.079 great things that you have done for this nation. Thank 264 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:19.119 you for the protection, the bounty, the freedoms that we 265 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:26.079 so enjoy. We remembered to keep our eyes fixed on you, 266 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.680 and may our hearts be inclined to your voice. We 267 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.799 know that America can never be great again if we 268 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.839 turn our backs on you. We ask for your help, 269 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.160 and we pray all of this in the name of 270 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.480 the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, your Son, 271 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.119 my Savior, and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. 272 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:51.640 Amen, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Associate Justice Kavanaugh to 273 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:59.400 administer the vice presidential oath of office. 274 00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:08.240 Please raise your right hand and repeat after me, I, 275 00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.839 James Dave Advance, do solemnly swear. 276 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.960 I James David Advance, do solemnly swear that. 277 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.079 I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States. 278 00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.559 That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United. 279 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.880 States against all enemies foreign and domestic. 280 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.079 Against all enemies foreign and domestic. 281 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:32.160 That I will bear true faith, that I will bear 282 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.599 true faith and allegiance to the same, and allegiance to 283 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:35.960 the same. 284 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.200 That I take this obligation freely. 285 00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.160 That I take this obligation freely. 286 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:43.720 Without any mental reservation. 287 00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.839 Without any mental reservation or. 288 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.680 Purpose of evasion or purpose of evasion.

Everybody, well, thank you 317 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:32.759 very very much. 318 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:41.920 Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts, 319 00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:52.400 Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, 320 00:29:52.880 --> 00:30:01.759 President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens. 321 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:15.480 The Golden Age of America begins right now. From this 322 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.480 day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again 323 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.759 all over the world. We will be the envy of 324 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.039 every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be 325 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:31.480 taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of 326 00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:35.000 the Trump administration, I will very. 327 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.000 Simply put America first. 328 00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:52.079 Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, 329 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:58.400 the scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, 330 00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:02.640 and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government 331 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:14.480 will end, and our top priority will be to create 332 00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:24.880 a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will 333 00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:32.079 soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before. 334 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:40.759 I return to the Presidency confident and optimistic that we 335 00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:43.519 are at the start of a thrilling new era of 336 00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:48.279 national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country. 337 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.599 Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has 338 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:57.240 the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. But 339 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.759 first we must be honest about the challenges. While they 340 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.640 are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum 341 00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:07.480 that the world is now witnessing. 342 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:11.200 In the United States of America, as. 343 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:14.519 We gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. 344 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.680 For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted 345 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.400 power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of 346 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:28.759 our society lay broken and seemingly incomplete disrepair. We now 347 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.799 have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis 348 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:35.039 at home, while at the same time stumbling into a 349 00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:40.640 continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect 350 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:46.039 our magnificent law abidying American citizens, but provide sanctuary and 351 00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:51.119 protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions 352 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.880 that have illegally entered our country from all over the world. 353 00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.960 We have a government that has given unlimited funding to 354 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:03.960 the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American 355 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:09.039 borders or, more importantly, its own people. Our country can 356 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:12.839 no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as 357 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:18.759 recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina been 358 00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:27.039 treated so badly and other states who are still suffering 359 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.680 from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or 360 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.319 more recently Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still 361 00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:40.200 tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense. 362 00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.000 They're raging through the houses and. 363 00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.839 Communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful 364 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.839 individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here 365 00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:55.000 right now. They don't have a home any longer. That's interesting, 366 00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:01.160 but we can't let this happen. Everyone is able to 367 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.359 do anything about it. 368 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:03.680 That's going to change. 369 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.799 We have a public health system that does not deliver 370 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.519 in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on 371 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.719 it than any country. 372 00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.800 Anywhere in the world, and we have an. 373 00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.840 Education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, 374 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.239 in many cases, to hate our country despite the love 375 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.679 that we try so desperately. 376 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:24.679 To provide to them. 377 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:29.360 All of this will change starting today, and it will 378 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:43.679 change very quickly. My recent election is a mandate to 379 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:49.639 completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of 380 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:54.119 these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give 381 00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:59.360 the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and 382 00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:07.199 indeed their freedom. From this moment on, America's decline is over. 383 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.159 Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer 384 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:26.880 be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, 385 00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:31.800 and loyalty of America's government. Over the past eight years, 386 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.719 I have been tested and challenged more than any president 387 00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:38.320 in our two hundred and fifty year history, and I've. 388 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:39.960 Learned a lot along the way. 389 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.440 The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an 390 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.000 easy one. 391 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:47.000 That I can tell you. 392 00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:51.719 Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to 393 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:57.239 take my freedom and indeed to take my life. Just 394 00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.360 a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania yield an 395 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.719 assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then 396 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.719 and believe even more so now, that my life was 397 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:13.159 saved for a reason. I was saved by God to 398 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:23.679 make America great again. That is why each day, under 399 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:29.360 our administration of American Patriots, we will be working to 400 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:34.039 meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We 401 00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:39.159
