Speaker 1: Indeed, so it is particularly appropriate that we have an
Speaker 1: inauguration of a president on Martin Luther King Day.
Speaker 2: It's it's a nice combination, it really is. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: say hello to everybody else. Cono, good morning.

Speaker 3: Even Ohio State want to lose. We want Ohio State
Speaker 3: to win.
Speaker 1: Okay, Ohio State's there for a zillion times as Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're both powerhouses, to say the least. Except
Speaker 1: the people at Notre Dame. They have Jesus on their side.
Speaker 1: See the rest of the teams don't understand. Did know
Speaker 1: Pro football they go in and college football they go
Speaker 1: into the locker room prior to the game, and they
Speaker 1: all pray to God, depending on which God you believe
Speaker 1: in or the one Guy, and they know that this
Speaker 1: game God's on their side. God is an amazing football
Speaker 1: He's not only a legend in his own time, he's
Speaker 1: a huge football fan.
Speaker 2: Did you know that?
Speaker 3: Well, they were originally the Fighting Jesus. Yeah, they changed it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Irish guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Irish.
Speaker 1: And they're drunk when they go on the field, they stagger,
Speaker 1: and they still win games.
Speaker 2: Go figure that one out.
Speaker 1: Amy, Oh, Red, white and Blue today, Yeah, very nice,
Speaker 1: very presidential.
Speaker 2: I like that, very patriotic. All right.
Speaker 1: And finally, Amy, good morning, Amy? You mean an I'm
Speaker 1: that's sorry, And there you go. My computer is moving
Speaker 1: people around, so I'm used to that.
Speaker 2: I'm conflating every day.
Speaker 3: What won't Well, now that you can see us, there's
Speaker 3: certainly no way to make a mistake.
Speaker 2: But really, have you ever listened to this show.
Speaker 3: I actually do the show without headphones on as a way.
Speaker 1: To Okay, let's do it, guys. I mean, today is
Speaker 1: a relatively important day. We have a historic day. We
Speaker 1: have a lot of presidential history and Amy just see
Speaker 1: not add Amy did some inauguration facts, which we're going
Speaker 1: to do at eight point thirty. Just some great history
Speaker 1: of inaugurations. By the way, Amy, do you are you where?
Speaker 1: I don't know if you cover this, because I was
Speaker 1: preparing that the Bible is not necessary at all. Yes, yep,
Speaker 1: And you don't have to swear so help me God.
Speaker 1: That is not in the Constitution at all. And you
Speaker 1: can say I affirm.
Speaker 4: Only one has done that.
Speaker 2: That's Hoover.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what changed it, right, Amy, I was
Speaker 3: listening to you earlier.
Speaker 5: Well, they just added it. So if they want to
Speaker 5: say affirm, they can. But he's the only one who did.
Speaker 2: Well, they have to say that, they have to say.
Speaker 1: And the first person to say, so help me God,
Speaker 1: what George Washington. So he started the non constitutional version
Speaker 1: of the acceptance of the Presidency. And it's only it's
Speaker 1: like four lines and that's it.
Speaker 3: Is there another book that they put their hand on.
Speaker 2: They can put it on anything. They don't need a Bible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but I thought there was another something
Speaker 3: or other.
Speaker 5: But I one of the members, one of the presidents.
Speaker 5: I just put my cheat sheet away, put his hand
Speaker 5: on his law book. But and then he had the constitution, had.
Speaker 1: A constitution in there, and it's great fun. And then
Speaker 1: you don't need a judge to do it. Anybody can
Speaker 1: do it. Calvin Coolidge, his dad did it. His dad
Speaker 1: swore him in and his dad was a notary public.
Speaker 1: It's really interesting. But inaugurations have their own I need
Speaker 1: their own panoply, and then they have their own version
Speaker 1: of how it goes.
Speaker 2: And it's now become Deray Gore.
Speaker 1: And by the way, inaugural speech is not necessary at all.
Speaker 2: There's nothing in the Constitution about inaugural speech at all.
Speaker 1: The same thing with the State of the Union. Literally,
Speaker 1: it's the state of the Union. Literally, the President seal
Speaker 1: shall address from time to time the state of the Union,
Speaker 1: and all he has to do is the state of
Speaker 1: the Union. Is great done, there's the date of the Union.
Speaker 1: Can be done any time, not after inaugurate and not
Speaker 1: during the first year. It's great stuff, it really is.
Speaker 1: We'll do more of that coming up at eight thirty two.
Speaker 1: Frad Meltzer is joining us eight o'clock. An author we've
Speaker 1: had a ton of times, and he is a notable historian.
Speaker 1: And you know how crazy I am about history. And
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the assassination of JFK in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty the attempted assassination that was close.
Speaker 2: Right after he was elected.
Speaker 1: And I'll go this fascinating stuff. Okay, let's do it, guys,
Speaker 1: jack you take a shot at him. Well, no, do
Speaker 1: you know that Jackie spoke fluently now French, Spanish, German
Speaker 1: and a little bit of English. She was a very
Speaker 1: interesting lady. Yeah, all right, guys, let's do it.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Okay, it's noon. That's when he swore it in. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's move on.
Speaker 1: There's that's it, because a bunch of stuff. Security is insane.
Speaker 1: Twenty five thousand security personnel, cops and Secret Service and
Speaker 1: National Guard, I mean, it's insane. Oh.
Speaker 2: Also, they moved it inside.
Speaker 4: So none of those two thousand people who are who.
Speaker 2: Have tickets hotel room yep.
Speaker 1: However, it's in the rotunda, which interestingly enough, is where
Speaker 1: the January sixth crowd overran the Capitol. And you are
Speaker 1: going to hear the first time in the history of
Speaker 1: the Nited States. There will be a quarter of a
Speaker 1: million people in the rotunda. It will be the biggest
Speaker 1: crowd you have ever seen in the rotunda, bigger than
Speaker 1: any other inauguration in history.
Speaker 2: And it's inside.
Speaker 3: Wasn't Obama's the biggest?
Speaker 2: Probably probably, We don't know. You know.
Speaker 1: You get estimates, You get estimates, and that's about it.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Oh, and there'll be a bunch of inaugural balls tonight.
Speaker 1: There isn't just one. There are bunches of them that
Speaker 1: the President and the first Lady sort of go five
Speaker 1: minutes each one, and they do a little dance and
Speaker 1: they go to the next one. And some people pay
Speaker 1: to go to the inaugural ball, and some people are
Speaker 1: in to the inaugural ball.
Speaker 3: Now, is Trump going to come out and say his
Speaker 3: balls are the biggest and very.
Speaker 2: Strong, very strong.
Speaker 3: Nobody is held balls like kicks ever.
Speaker 1: And he has more balls, not only in terms of
Speaker 1: his presidency, but in terms of numbers.
Speaker 3: Who we had wait balls?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on. Okay, we've done that joke. All right,
Speaker 1: We've sort of stretched that one to the limit.
Speaker 5: Okay, hopefully just the first of many. The first three
Speaker 5: hostages have been released from Gaza, and the first round
Speaker 5: of Palestinian prisoners ninety of them were freed from Israeli
Speaker 5: custody as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas got underway
Speaker 5: yesterday following fifteen months of war. Palestinians again across Gaza
Speaker 5: are now able to start making their way home if
Speaker 5: there is anything left to go back to. And the
Speaker 5: first aid trucks, like six hundred of them got into
Speaker 5: Gaza yesterday.
Speaker 1: You know what's missing with this exchange where the Israeli
Speaker 1: army came in in an incursion and just kicked the
Speaker 1: crap out of insert name of Arab or Palestinian army here.
Speaker 1: You're not hearing mass excitement of thousands, tens of thousands,
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of Palestinians screaming we've won, its victory,
Speaker 1: which has happened every single time. They've always won, no
Speaker 1: matter what happened, victory parties, because we got rid of
Speaker 1: the Israelis, none of that. You're not hearing we've won.
Speaker 1: You've hearing celebration that the ceasefires kicked in, but not
Speaker 1: massive we won. Because I'd love to see Palestinians screaming
Speaker 1: with Hamas, screaming we've won, We've won, as they look
Speaker 1: at miles of debris where they're where their homes and
Speaker 1: businesses used to be. Oh, by the way, here's another
Speaker 1: little here's another little point I want to bring up
Speaker 1: if I can, that for the last ten years, or
Speaker 1: actually since Ramas took power, they didn't build infrastructure, schools, hospitals,
Speaker 1: didn't increase their water supply, their ability to water supply.
Speaker 1: They spent all their money building tunnels, and the tunnels
Speaker 1: were only for Ramas as militants.
Speaker 2: Do you know. And here's one that when the bombing.
Speaker 1: Took place, when hospitals were being bombed and there were
Speaker 1: tunnels underneath hospitals, civilians weren't allowed in them as bomb shelters.
Speaker 1: Only the militants were allowed in those tunnels. If that
Speaker 1: goes to show you what's going on. All right, let's
Speaker 1: move on.
Speaker 3: All right. The President Joe Biden has pardoned everyone in
Speaker 3: the United States.
Speaker 2: Accept us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wanted to see if i'd get any
Speaker 3: one's attention. President Joe Biden has partnered doctor Anthony Fauci,
Speaker 3: retired General Mark Millie, and members of the House committee
Speaker 3: that investigated the January sixth attack on the Capitol. So
Speaker 3: that means, you know, you've got GOP folks in there
Speaker 3: as well. The interesting thing.
Speaker 2: Here is.
Speaker 3: It's at first you can roll your eyes, but actually
Speaker 3: it kind of protects the oh yeah, the fact that
Speaker 3: you can go after a president if necessary.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a former president. You can't go after
Speaker 2: a president.
Speaker 3: But it was a former president.
Speaker 1: I guess it was, and it was a preemptive. Well, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you can pardon a former president. That's exactly what Gerald
Speaker 1: Ford did with Nixon. This is preemptive pardons. Pardons are
Speaker 1: all usually after the fact, and they're usually for individuals
Speaker 1: Mark Rich who was a zillionaire and Bill Clinton pardoned
Speaker 1: him somehow, Mark Rich, who was under indictment for stealing
Speaker 1: money I mean by the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: And these pardons are where people who Trump have said
Speaker 1: we are going to put I am going to put
Speaker 1: them in prison, those that were my enemies, the January
Speaker 1: sixth Committee, the people who have come out Liz Cheney.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so Biden said, nope, nope, okay, let's
Speaker 1: move on preemptive pardon. Now would in reality you would
Speaker 1: see Liz Cheney being put in prison for what treason?
Speaker 2: I have no idea but.
Speaker 3: He's just he's been whittled down to just crank calling
Speaker 3: her at night.
Speaker 1: I guess, so, yeah, no, But you know, there as
Speaker 1: far as the enemies list, which I forgot the name
Speaker 1: of the nominee for is it homeland Security? One of
Speaker 1: the cabinet positions says, yeah, that there is no or
Speaker 1: will be no enemies list.
Speaker 2: Okay, and by the way, although the I R.
Speaker 1: S could come down pretty hard on these people, and
Speaker 1: then the argument is that's your normal audit, they're what
Speaker 1: Nixon did that? My god, did Nixon do that with
Speaker 1: the enemy's list? Straight out? Morley Safer, who was sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: who was in sixty minutes, he was one.
Speaker 2: Of the reporters, the original reporters of.
Speaker 1: Sixty minutes, who, by the way, did the segment on
Speaker 1: me when I was on sixty minutes.
Speaker 2: Is he had said, and there was a list, There
Speaker 2: was an enemies list that was part of the Nixon presidency.
Speaker 1: And Morley Safer said that I take that as a
Speaker 1: badge of honor. Being on that enemy's list was honor.
Speaker 1: So that's just the way he did it. Okay, just
Speaker 1: a little bit of is that gerbilish? Is that sort
Speaker 1: of in the Gurbil department. Also all these useless facts
Speaker 1: in the meantime. You know, what did I have ten
Speaker 1: minutes ago for my breakfast? And I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't remember.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's a long list of promises. Trump told thousands
Speaker 5: of fans and an arena rally victory rally yesterday that
Speaker 5: he would fix every single crisis facing our country. He said,
Speaker 5: tomorrow at noon, which will be today, the curtain closes
Speaker 5: on four long years of American decline, and we begin
Speaker 5: a brand new day of American strength, prosperity, dignity, and pride.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of rhetoric, but a lot of presidents
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 4: There was a lot of promises made.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, American strength. We're pretty strong. We haven't
Speaker 1: gotten weaker. Of prosperity. We're pretty prosperous. The country is
Speaker 1: in very good shape now. Dignity and pride arguable. You
Speaker 1: can look at dignity and pride and look at both
Speaker 1: sides of that that. I have no question that he
Speaker 1: could do that. Inflation, he could bring it down from
Speaker 1: two point three to two point one and wipe out
Speaker 1: inflation completely. The only thing that I think he can
Speaker 1: do in terms of how do you bring down prices?
Speaker 1: What people get less money, hamburgers, cost less McDonald's oil
Speaker 1: and gas.
Speaker 2: I think he can do something about And.
Speaker 1: Because he is going to push fossil fuels, he is
Speaker 1: going to push drilling like crazy, eliminate environmental controls on
Speaker 1: fossil fuels. That disappears anything control that, it will be gone.
Speaker 1: And if you drill, drill, drill, as he has said, drill, baby, drill,
Speaker 1: there will be more oil.
Speaker 2: There will be more oil, and.
Speaker 1: More oil means that gasoline will go down. That is volatile.
Speaker 1: So we'll see you know again. The executive orders are
Speaker 1: going to be fun. Neil talk about that.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 3: I will tell you that that pen is going to
Speaker 3: be on fire. It's going to be writing so fast.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump plans to sign more than fifty executive orders
Speaker 3: today and possibly some have said more than one hundred.
Speaker 4: Some sources are saying two hundred.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a pretty wide range. We're not sure how
Speaker 5: many signatures he can do.
Speaker 1: He can say that his hand is going to cramp.
Speaker 1: I think he was quoted as that some point he's
Speaker 1: just going to get a big rubber stamp. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: we we talk a little bit about executive orders at
Speaker 1: seven point thirty, because there is a lot to say
Speaker 1: about executive orders, what can be done, what can't be done,
Speaker 1: And it's very interesting as to executive orders, and there's
Speaker 1: a whole lot of President can do and a whole
Speaker 1: lot he can't do.
Speaker 3: Or sh'll be interesting because the first wave of these
Speaker 3: orders seem to be something that is going to roll
Speaker 3: out later in the week, but they're expected to include
Speaker 3: a mix of campaign trail promises, like reversal of outgoing
Speaker 3: President Biden's policies about Yeah, he's going to do that,
Speaker 3: restructuring the federal workforce, that's pretty easy.
Speaker 2: He's going to do that.
Speaker 1: Immigration, He's going to come down hard on immigration because
Speaker 1: he really feels it's not just a campaign promise. He
Speaker 1: feels immigration as one of the big problems that to
Speaker 1: him is no joke. That's just not a promise for
Speaker 1: a campaign. That's part of his psyche. And so you
Speaker 1: will see that, You'll be seeing environmental programs undone, You're
Speaker 1: you're going to see some things, but the biggest one
Speaker 1: that he feels about, from my understanding, is immigration.
Speaker 3: And we have the Delta smelt fishing contest.
Speaker 2: It's going to be it's going to be really and
Speaker 2: some of those.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's right because when you look at environment,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with fossil fuels, but stopping a three hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars damn for the Delta smelt is it doesn't
Speaker 1: pass the smelt test.
Speaker 3: Malanya is going to come out with her lovely spotted
Speaker 3: owl coke.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, now, and that's what they're going to serve
Speaker 1: the first night. By the way, eagle and spotted owl. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on.
Speaker 4: TikTok's ticking again.
Speaker 5: After a blackout that lasted about fourteen hours and people
Speaker 5: got messages when they tried to open the app saying sorry,
Speaker 5: we're not.
Speaker 4: Available, TikTok is back.
Speaker 5: The video app was taken offline Saturday night to comply
Speaker 5: with the new law that was going into effect on
Speaker 5: January nineteenth that banned the service unless it sold to
Speaker 5: a US company, But on Saturday, Google and Apple remove
Speaker 5: the app from their stores, and then on Sunday, President
Speaker 5: elect Trump effectively reversed the blackout. He posted on truth
Speaker 5: social and said he vowed to pause the law. He
Speaker 5: said he would extend a liability shield to tech companies
Speaker 5: that support TikTok as the app's future has worked out right.
Speaker 2: For ninety days.
Speaker 1: So he's not saying TikTok is back full blast. What
Speaker 1: he's saying is, let's slow it down and really take
Speaker 1: a good hard look at TikTok because there are legitimate
Speaker 1: security nation security concerns at the same time their first Amendment,
Speaker 1: and I think for him going in favor of TikTok,
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans are not happy because of the
Speaker 1: communist Chinese government. Ability to know everything about us hasn't
Speaker 1: been proved that yet it's happened, but they'll have the ability,
Speaker 1: or TikTok has the ability, which it does, all of
Speaker 1: the major platforms can find out everything there is about us.
Speaker 3: Okay, you know it's sexier than billionaires trillionaires. The first
Speaker 3: trillionaires are on their way. Five people. Wow, five what
Speaker 3: are their four hundreds change billionaires? So five people are
Speaker 3: expected to amass at least one trillion dollars in wealth
Speaker 3: within the next decade. So the current trends as they stand,
Speaker 3: if they continue that way, According to oxfam's annual Inequity
Speaker 3: Inequality rather Report released just yesterday, Tesla's SpaceX CEO of course.
Speaker 3: Elon Musk, currently the world's richest person worth more than
Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty billion, should cross the mark in
Speaker 3: just under five years.
Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive, and because he needs the money. By
Speaker 1: the way, there's twenty seven hundred billionaires running around there
Speaker 1: in the world, is it really Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 2: Of billionaires, a lot of billionaires. Trillion dollars is more
Speaker 2: than the gross.
Speaker 1: Domestic product of many, many countries around the world. Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: and he's probably richer than the entire product of I
Speaker 1: don't know, not the Big Five, of course, but well, actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to look that up and see
Speaker 1: how many how many countries I hit at trillion dollars
Speaker 1: in GDP.
Speaker 3: Gosh, they wouldn't even talk to you, these guys. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he'll soon be joined probably by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos
Speaker 3: and then Oracle founder Larry Ellison, and you've got CEO
Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg and so on. So we'll see if this
Speaker 3: plays out. But isn't that crazy. It's just going to
Speaker 3: keep going. At some point, it's gonna.
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be very good, very good for
Speaker 1: business under Donald Trump. Donald Trump loves business. Coming from
Speaker 1: the world of business, and that's who he is. Obama
Speaker 1: came from the world of what nonprofits. He was an
Speaker 1: attorney for nonprofits, helping people register to vote and getting
Speaker 1: government services.
Speaker 2: So it's different worlds.
Speaker 5: Trump's about to take his first trip the president elect
Speaker 5: soon to be the president, says he'll visit southern California
Speaker 5: areas affected by the historic wildfires on Friday. California Governor
Speaker 5: Newsom's spokesperson said last night the governor's office is glad
Speaker 5: Trump accepted the invitation to come to la He.
Speaker 1: Sort of has to any president when you have a
Speaker 1: disaster of this magnitude, has to show up and should
Speaker 1: show up. And he is doing the right thing by
Speaker 1: showing up, and he'll be talking and he'll talk about
Speaker 1: the video that he has Gavin Newsom actually igniting the fires.
Speaker 3: Chef Andrew Gruehl and his wife Lauren, I believe on
Speaker 3: social media invited him out for the world's Best steak
Speaker 3: if he comes to Calico Fish House well done.
Speaker 4: Yes, doesn't he like to eat his steaks well done or.
Speaker 2: Something crazy and loves die of coke.
Speaker 3: I will tell you something though, if you're going to
Speaker 3: have a steak. Have chef Andrew Gruhle Okay, cookie that steak,
Speaker 3: all right. Donald and Malania Trump launched their pair of
Speaker 3: meme coins ahead of the inaugurations. So these meme coins
Speaker 3: are basically garbage and it's just basically running off of
Speaker 3: like current events or pop culture. They're super volatile and
Speaker 3: now you can get either Millennia one or a Trump one.
Speaker 2: Although to give them credit, they both.
Speaker 1: Contain disclaimers saying the coins are not intended.
Speaker 2: With as an investment at all.
Speaker 1: You're not looking at them like bitcoin, where you're actually
Speaker 1: investing money. It's not investment, contract any security. It's mainly
Speaker 1: celebrating Donald and Milania. And of course what two hundred
Speaker 1: how many two hundred million coins will be circulating?
Speaker 2: Cap to thirteen billion?
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering how many Milania and Donald I have
Speaker 1: because they need more money. You know, True Social I
Speaker 1: think his his what is it the amount of money
Speaker 1: has and True Social is in the billions of dollars
Speaker 1: he's already made on that. It's interesting stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: Grocery prices are on the rise again, the cost of groceries.
Speaker 4: What Anne, she yelled something at.
Speaker 5: Us groceries in the US increased one point eight percent
Speaker 5: from a year earlier in December. That's the fastest pace
Speaker 5: in more than a year and said to be because
Speaker 5: of several things, including bird flus killing chickens, which is
Speaker 5: cutting egg supplies. Extreme heat and dry weather in the
Speaker 5: coffee growing regions have you know, increased the cost of coffee.
Speaker 5: Chocolate and cereal makers have been raising prices too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all of this has to do with, for example, eggs.
Speaker 1: You know, I had no idea. Eggs seem to be
Speaker 1: the driver here because everybody eat eggs and lots of them,
Speaker 1: and you have the egg price as well. I just
Speaker 1: went egg shopping yesterday and I happen to be with
Speaker 1: somebody lindsay wants happy eggs, not only cage free by
