We 105 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.680 have a lot of presidential history and Amy just see 106 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.279 not add Amy did some inauguration facts, which we're going 107 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.759 to do at eight point thirty. Just some great history 108 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.079 of inaugurations. By the way, Amy, do you are you where? 109 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:48.480 I don't know if you cover this, because I was 110 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:54.040 preparing that the Bible is not necessary at all. Yes, yep, 111 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.079 And you don't have to swear so help me God. 112 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.759 That is not in the Constitution at all. And you 113 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.120 can say I affirm. 114 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.279 Only one has done that. 115 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:07.720 That's Hoover. 116 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.480 Yeah, And that's what changed it, right, Amy, I was 117 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:12.800 listening to you earlier. 118 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.480 Well, they just added it. So if they want to 119 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.560 say affirm, they can. But he's the only one who did. 120 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.879 Well, they have to say that, they have to say. 121 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.680 And the first person to say, so help me God, 122 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.639 what George Washington. So he started the non constitutional version 123 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.959 of the acceptance of the Presidency. And it's only it's 124 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.879 like four lines and that's it. 125 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.279 Is there another book that they put their hand on. 126 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.759 They can put it on anything. They don't need a Bible. 127 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.600 Yeah, I know, but I thought there was another something 128 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:40.920 or other. 129 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.920 But I one of the members, one of the presidents. 130 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.920 I just put my cheat sheet away, put his hand 131 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.639 on his law book. But and then he had the constitution, had. 132 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.879 A constitution in there, and it's great fun. And then 133 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.720 you don't need a judge to do it. Anybody can 134 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.560 do it. Calvin Coolidge, his dad did it. His dad 135 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.639 swore him in and his dad was a notary public. 136 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.600 It's really interesting. But inaugurations have their own I need 137 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.480 their own panoply, and then they have their own version 138 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.279 of how it goes. 139 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:11.959 And it's now become Deray Gore. 140 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.639 And by the way, inaugural speech is not necessary at all. 141 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.399 There's nothing in the Constitution about inaugural speech at all. 142 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.720 The same thing with the State of the Union. Literally, 143 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.240 it's the state of the Union. Literally, the President seal 144 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.839 shall address from time to time the state of the Union, 145 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.800 and all he has to do is the state of 146 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.000 the Union. Is great done, there's the date of the Union. 147 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.279 Can be done any time, not after inaugurate and not 148 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.839 during the first year. It's great stuff, it really is. 149 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.720 We'll do more of that coming up at eight thirty two. 150 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.639 Frad Meltzer is joining us eight o'clock. An author we've 151 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.439 had a ton of times, and he is a notable historian. 152 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.720 And you know how crazy I am about history. And 153 00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.639 we're going to talk about the assassination of JFK in 154 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:06.720 nineteen sixty the attempted assassination that was close. 155 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.040 Right after he was elected. 156 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.279 And I'll go this fascinating stuff. Okay, let's do it, guys, 157 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.639 jack you take a shot at him.

She was a very 160 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:35.600 interesting lady. Yeah, all right, guys, let's do it. 161 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:43.279 I'm sorry. Okay, it's noon. That's when he swore it in. Okay, 162 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:43.840 let's move on. 163 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.840 There's that's it, because a bunch of stuff.

It will be the biggest 174 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.799 crowd you have ever seen in the rotunda, bigger than 175 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.440 any other inauguration in history. 176 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.559 And it's inside. 177 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.440 Wasn't Obama's the biggest? 178 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.759 Probably probably, We don't know.

And some people pay 186 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.799 to go to the inaugural ball, and some people are 187 00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.360 in to the inaugural ball. 188 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.000 Now, is Trump going to come out and say his 189 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.360 balls are the biggest and very. 190 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:07.639 Strong, very strong. 191 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.080 Nobody is held balls like kicks ever. 192 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.600 And he has more balls, not only in terms of 193 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.679 his presidency, but in terms of numbers. 194 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.919 Who we had wait balls? 195 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.879 Okay, let's move on. Okay, we've done that joke. All right, 196 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.200 We've sort of stretched that one to the limit. 197 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.120 Okay, hopefully just the first of many. The first three 198 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.840 hostages have been released from Gaza, and the first round 199 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.399 of Palestinian prisoners ninety of them were freed from Israeli 200 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.919 custody as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas got underway 201 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:46.279 yesterday following fifteen months of war. Palestinians again across Gaza 202 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.679 are now able to start making their way home if 203 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.279 there is anything left to go back to. And the 204 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.200 first aid trucks, like six hundred of them got into 205 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:57.200 Gaza yesterday. 206 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.120 You know what's missing with this exchange where the Israeli 207 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.440 army came in in an incursion and just kicked the 208 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.080 crap out of insert name of Arab or Palestinian army here. 209 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:17.200 You're not hearing mass excitement of thousands, tens of thousands, 210 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:22.720 hundreds of thousands of Palestinians screaming we've won, its victory, 211 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:27.360 which has happened every single time. They've always won, no 212 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.480 matter what happened, victory parties, because we got rid of 213 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.759 the Israelis, none of that. You're not hearing we've won. 214 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.360 You've hearing celebration that the ceasefires kicked in, but not 215 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.679 massive we won. Because I'd love to see Palestinians screaming 216 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.320 with Hamas, screaming we've won, We've won, as they look 217 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:54.840 at miles of debris where they're where their homes and 218 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.600 businesses used to be. Oh, by the way, here's another 219 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.919 little here's another little point I want to bring up 220 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.879 if I can, that for the last ten years, or 221 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:10.759 actually since Ramas took power, they didn't build infrastructure, schools, hospitals, 222 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.320 didn't increase their water supply, their ability to water supply. 223 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.320 They spent all their money building tunnels, and the tunnels 224 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.480 were only for Ramas as militants. 225 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.240 Do you know. And here's one that when the bombing. 226 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:30.679 Took place, when hospitals were being bombed and there were 227 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.720 tunnels underneath hospitals, civilians weren't allowed in them as bomb shelters. 228 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.919 Only the militants were allowed in those tunnels. If that 229 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.159 goes to show you what's going on. All right, let's 230 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:41.440 move on. 231 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.519 All right. The President Joe Biden has pardoned everyone in 232 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.919 the United States. 233 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.639 Accept us. 234 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.679 Yeah, I just wanted to see if i'd get any 235 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.279 one's attention. President Joe Biden has partnered doctor Anthony Fauci, 236 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.799 retired General Mark Millie, and members of the House committee 237 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.559 that investigated the January sixth attack on the Capitol. So 238 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:11.279 that means, you know, you've got GOP folks in there 239 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.000 as well. The interesting thing. 240 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:14.279 Here is. 241 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.080 It's at first you can roll your eyes, but actually 242 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.120 it kind of protects the oh yeah, the fact that 243 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.480 you can go after a president if necessary. 244 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.919 Oh yeah, it's a former president. You can't go after 245 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.480 a president. 246 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.000 But it was a former president. 247 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:34.480 I guess it was, and it was a preemptive. Well, absolutely, 248 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.120 you can pardon a former president. That's exactly what Gerald 249 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.960 Ford did with Nixon. This is preemptive pardons. Pardons are 250 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.279 all usually after the fact, and they're usually for individuals 251 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.039 Mark Rich who was a zillionaire and Bill Clinton pardoned 252 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.159 him somehow, Mark Rich, who was under indictment for stealing 253 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.519 money I mean by the hundreds of millions of dollars. 254 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.279 And these pardons are where people who Trump have said 255 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.240 we are going to put I am going to put 256 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.919 them in prison, those that were my enemies, the January 257 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.480 sixth Committee, the people who have come out Liz Cheney. 258 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:21.440 I mean, it's so Biden said, nope, nope, okay, let's 259 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:25.159 move on preemptive pardon. Now would in reality you would 260 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:30.240 see Liz Cheney being put in prison for what treason? 261 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.600 I have no idea but. 262 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.759 He's just he's been whittled down to just crank calling 263 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:36.399 her at night. 264 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.559 I guess, so, yeah, no, But you know, there as 265 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.879 far as the enemies list, which I forgot the name 266 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.240 of the nominee for is it homeland Security? One of 267 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.320 the cabinet positions says, yeah, that there is no or 268 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.559 will be no enemies list. 269 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.279 Okay, and by the way, although the I R. 270 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.840 S could come down pretty hard on these people, and 271 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.559 then the argument is that's your normal audit, they're what 272 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.960 Nixon did that? My god, did Nixon do that with 273 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:16.440 the enemy's list? Straight out? Morley Safer, who was sixty minutes, 274 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.080 who was in sixty minutes, he was one. 275 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.600 Of the reporters, the original reporters of. 276 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.519 Sixty minutes, who, by the way, did the segment on 277 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.879 me when I was on sixty minutes. 278 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.159 Is he had said, and there was a list, There 279 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.000 was an enemies list that was part of the Nixon presidency. 280 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.759 And Morley Safer said that I take that as a 281 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:42.039 badge of honor. Being on that enemy's list was honor. 282 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.440 So that's just the way he did it. Okay, just 283 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:48.039 a little bit of is that gerbilish? Is that sort 284 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.799 of in the Gurbil department. Also all these useless facts 285 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:54.840 in the meantime. You know, what did I have ten 286 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.440 minutes ago for my breakfast? And I don't know, I 287 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.080 don't remember. 288 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:04.159 Okay, that's a long list of promises. Trump told thousands 289 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.200 of fans and an arena rally victory rally yesterday that 290 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.000 he would fix every single crisis facing our country. He said, 291 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.600 tomorrow at noon, which will be today, the curtain closes 292 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.440 on four long years of American decline, and we begin 293 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:23.159 a brand new day of American strength, prosperity, dignity, and pride. 294 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.320 Yeah, a lot of rhetoric, but a lot of presidents 295 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:25.679 do that. 296 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.120 There was a lot of promises made. 297 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.279 Ye. 298 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.919 Yeah, well, okay, American strength. We're pretty strong. We haven't 299 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.480 gotten weaker. Of prosperity. We're pretty prosperous. The country is 300 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.759 in very good shape now. Dignity and pride arguable. You 301 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.519 can look at dignity and pride and look at both 302 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.799 sides of that that. I have no question that he 303 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.879 could do that. Inflation, he could bring it down from 304 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.159 two point three to two point one and wipe out 305 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.759 inflation completely. The only thing that I think he can 306 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.440 do in terms of how do you bring down prices? 307 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:09.480 What people get less money, hamburgers, cost less McDonald's oil 308 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.160 and gas. 309 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.720 I think he can do something about And. 310 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.000 Because he is going to push fossil fuels, he is 311 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.359 going to push drilling like crazy, eliminate environmental controls on 312 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.240 fossil fuels. That disappears anything control that, it will be gone. 313 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:31.559 And if you drill, drill, drill, as he has said, drill, baby, drill, 314 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.440 there will be more oil. 315 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.680 There will be more oil, and. 316 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:40.279 More oil means that gasoline will go down. That is volatile. 317 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.960 So we'll see you know again. The executive orders are 318 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.920 going to be fun. Neil talk about that. 319 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.400 A little bit. 320 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.319 I will tell you that that pen is going to 321 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:54.200 be on fire. It's going to be writing so fast. 322 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:58.920 Donald Trump plans to sign more than fifty executive orders 323 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.920 today and possibly some have said more than one hundred. 324 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.559 Some sources are saying two hundred. 325 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:07.880 No. 326 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.119 Yeah, it's a pretty wide range. We're not sure how 327 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:11.119 many signatures he can do. 328 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.079 He can say that his hand is going to cramp. 329 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:15.759 I think he was quoted as that some point he's 330 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.559 just going to get a big rubber stamp. Yeah, And 331 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.480 we we talk a little bit about executive orders at 332 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.359 seven point thirty, because there is a lot to say 333 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:28.160 about executive orders, what can be done, what can't be done, 334 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.640 And it's very interesting as to executive orders, and there's 335 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:35.799 a whole lot of President can do and a whole 336 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:36.480 lot he can't do. 337 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.519 Or sh'll be interesting because the first wave of these 338 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.599 orders seem to be something that is going to roll 339 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.799 out later in the week, but they're expected to include 340 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.200 a mix of campaign trail promises, like reversal of outgoing 341 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.279 President Biden's policies about Yeah, he's going to do that, 342 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.480 restructuring the federal workforce, that's pretty easy. 343 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.119 He's going to do that. 344 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:00.720 Immigration, He's going to come down hard on immigration because 345 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.480 he really feels it's not just a campaign promise. He 346 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.920 feels immigration as one of the big problems that to 347 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:11.680 him is no joke. That's just not a promise for 348 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:16.480 a campaign. That's part of his psyche.
