Oh and what 6 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.519 a victory today for true justice in the American way, 7 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.440 you know, my young lifetime. Truly one of the greatest 8 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.039 political days ever. Not just because today was so interesting 9 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.839 and at times really compelling and I think it's a 10 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.159 practical matter really helping to jump start this term, but 11 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.880 because it comes against the backdrop of a Trump team 12 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.640 that has been so effective, so tight, so successful since 13 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.880 election Day, and obviously before they wouldn't have won, so 14 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.960 so much reason to believe now that this momentum is 15 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.840 going to continue, that the success is going to continue. 16 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.159 You know, life, right, I mean, this is a human endeavor. 17 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.399 It's never going to be a straight line up. There 18 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.000 are always going to be setbacks, unexpected twist, but that 19 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.479 the trend line is going to continue to be up 20 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.480 and up and up. So can't wait to talk to 21 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.920 you about today, get your take on some of the highlights. 22 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.159 We have some really cool sound eight five five four 23 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.200 zero five eight two five five.

But first let's go straight to the 26 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:25.040 Capitol One Arena. Welcome our own Ryan Schuling, who must 27 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.719 have stayed in line in the bitter cold all night 28 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.000 to get into that arena today. I knew he would 29 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.959 find a way, Ryan, Welcome back to the show. 30 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.079 Dan Happy inauguration day and one day it was yeah, 31 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.120 you're right. I was in line for four hours at 32 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.519 about twenty two degrees wow, five twenty am Eastern time too, 33 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.000 about nine twenty am Eastern time, and then I am 34 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.319 just leading the arena. So at seven o'clock here, I 35 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.760 means I was in that arena for about ten hours wow, 36 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.599 varying degrees of entertainment that were offered. And of course 37 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.519 Donald Trump there at the very end of the big 38 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.240 payoff for saying all that time. And I think the 39 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.520 people got what they wanted. 40 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.080 When you showed up at five in the morning. How 41 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:13.400 many people were already there. 42 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.280 S a lot several hundred, if not a few thousand perhaps, 43 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.479 and I was in the two hundred levels, so I 44 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.599 got a pretty good vantage point. There is a lot 45 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:31.520 of photos and videos, I believe on our social media 46 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.400 koa and otherwise demonstrating the view that I had. I 47 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.560 actually got in pretty well. I had of a lot 48 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.800 of the people. I would say there was only about 49 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.599 a quarter of the arena that had people in it 50 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.520 by the time I got in there. That would have 51 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.319 been people that stayed the night. I'm talking brutally cold 52 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.560 temperatures here in d C. And they literally camped out. 53 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.120 They slept out, and I saw blankets and pillows, you know, 54 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.199 outside the arena as I approached it myself and then 55 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.000 finally got through security after four hours of standing in line. 56 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.960 I knew you would find a way. That's why you're 57 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.120 Ryan but tonight, and we carried a decent chunk of 58 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.319 it live on the show. But what was the highlight 59 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.120 in there today the entire day. I assume it happened 60 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.639 while Trump was there, but maybe not. 61 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:23.639 Well. 62 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.879 I would say during the time that Trump was in 63 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:32.080 the arena, the tribute to Corynparatory in Butler County first responders. 64 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.159 I think it was a very poignant moment. It was 65 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.159 a nice note that was struck, and I believe that 66 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.000 Trump went by the end of the night, you could 67 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.680 tell you know, he was fatigued, he was tired. Look, 68 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.800 I was tired. I'm twenty eight young years younger than 69 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.479 the guy. But he had a full day. I would 70 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.520 say some of the executive orders that he saved a 71 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.319 sign in front of a kind of makeshift resolute desk 72 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.960 on the stage, in front of those gathered the twenty 73 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.960 thousand their Capital One arena. That was a pretty neat time. 74 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.639 People responded favorably to that. And I'm telling you what, 75 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.280 Baron Trump is a star. He got the loudest applause 76 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.319 of any of the Trump kids by a mile. 77 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.280 Yeah, we had that live. That was something. 78 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:13.280 Yeah. 79 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.360 Yeah, And then now I imagine, of course they played 80 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.199 the entire inaugural address in the arena on the big screens. 81 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:23.680 What jumped out to you? Favorite part? 82 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.040 I think that he threw fastballs. Man. This was not 83 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:34.800 your typical kind of aspirational, metaphorical, soaring, generalized speech. This 84 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.000 was very specific. It was policy focus, it was topic focus. 85 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.680 But that really was pitch perfect, I think in terms 86 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.519 of what people were looking for from Donald Trump. Why 87 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.199 you and I voted for him, and so many of 88 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.639 our listeners did too. He's getting right to work. And 89 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.839 he was calling balls and strikes, calling a spade of spade, 90 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.240 he said it, and he took great glee in this, 91 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.040 I think, and he mentioned it later that he said 92 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.480 all this that was true, and Joe Biden k Harris 93 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:01.800 just had to sit there and take it. 94 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.240 Yeah, And that I think Ryan was very important because 95 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.600 I understand I watched it with with somebody who's not 96 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.399 as big a Trump fan as I am, you know, 97 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.000 no names, but and you know, she thought that it 98 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.240 was it was too rough, but I said, no, it 99 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.920 was absolutely necessary because a lot of his effectiveness comes 100 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.600 from his fearlessness. And you had those people who had 101 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.399 done all these awful things to America sitting right there, 102 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.680 and and in order to have credibility, in order to 103 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.560 project this strength, you need to accomplish all these things. 104 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.079 You got to say it when they're sitting right there. 105 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.720 And it's the same thing in talk radio, right, I mean, 106 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.000 And every now and then, certainly not on our station, 107 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.959 but every now and then you'll see a host who 108 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.160 will say all these bad things about somebody, and then 109 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.160 the person comes on the show, and you think the 110 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.399 two are going to go off on a honeymoon. You 111 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.040 got to say it to them when they're there. So 112 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.120 I thought it was key for Trump to do that. 113 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.040 I love that he'd do it, did it, but then 114 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.560 he also mixed in. He also mixed in the optimism, 115 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.439 the positivity, you know, the so much soaring you know, 116 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:18.079 really I thought, well done soaring comments as well. 117 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.519 The golden age of America starts right now. I mean, 118 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.000 he just began the speech with a touchdown pass and 119 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.680 it was really solid I thought throughout from there from 120 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.439 a tonal standpoint, and they had rough edges, but it 121 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.800 was him. It was authentically him. Yeah, and that's why 122 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.399 people voted for him. And to your point, Dan, after 123 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.720 everything Donald Trump had been through, after everything that Biden 124 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.000 and Harris and the weaponized Department of Justice put him through, 125 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.480 there's no way he could have ignored all that and 126 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.319 simply given a kind of rosy outlook speech that's not 127 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.480 where we are as a country. He knew that he 128 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.720 was real with the American people, and I think more 129 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.800 importantly that speech serves as notice for the rest of 130 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.959 the world. They were watching too, and they know it's well. 131 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.519 And I think that last point is critical because Okay, 132 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.519 you know, now, as he said, you know you've got 133 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.439 all this work ahead, but in order to be effective, 134 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.439 in order to be effective, so are you putting in 135 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.279 your pizza order? Hey, you've got to be starved. Did 136 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.639 they have any food at the arena? 137 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.720 Barely? And I'm looking for that as well as the 138 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:19.839 metro stop here is it? 139 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.279 Yeah? Okay? President Trump, by the way, just arrived back 140 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.759 at the White House. And think about what a long 141 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.600 day it has been for him. We all saw that 142 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.560 video earlier real time life of the President leaving the 143 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.360 White House with the Bidens and with President Biden at 144 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.920 that time in particular. So he arrives back now, he's 145 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.279 promised a lot of executive orders tonight. Certainly he's been 146 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.920 given a long, long, long runway on pardons, including j 147 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.600 six folks give givin the fact, can you believe Biden's 148 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.439 so slimy, right, so slimy hurt the Democrats so badly, 149 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.800 thank God by waiting until Trump was actually walking into 150 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:07.120 the rotunda before pardoning Biden's family members. And so now 151 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.639 I think Trump has a free pass to pretty much 152 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:10.879 pardon anybody in the world. 153 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.720 Certainly, Dan, and you said it right there. The timing 154 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.079 of that pardon was not accidental by Biden he wanted 155 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.360 to wait until the last minute. It makes it look 156 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:23.040 all the more suspicious. It confirms all of our thoughts 157 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.399 and accusations and so called conspiracy theories about the Biden 158 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.879 crime family, and there's just no running away from it 159 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.879 at this point. Why would he feel the need to 160 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.080 pardon them? Why would he wait until the last minute 161 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.519 to do it? Because he wanted as few repercussions as 162 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.720 possible And he leaves office totally in disgrace, and he 163 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.399 brings his family name along with him. 164 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.919 Well, but I think he hurts more than that, at 165 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.919 least I hope. So this has to really hurt the 166 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.759 Democratic Party long term because to the typical thinking American, 167 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.440 what it's going to say is, Okay, this means Biden 168 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.799 and his family were guilty as hell. This means all 169 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.639 the Democrats who covered for him are guilty as hell. 170 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.200 And it goes right and all the J six J 171 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.240 six Committee people he pardoned. A lot of Americans are 172 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.639 going to think, well, they got the pardons because they're guilty. 173 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.919 And if they're not guilty, then why didn't you do 174 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.120 it earlier when there could have been a full conversation 175 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.919 about this. So my hope is it does severe, lasting 176 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.480 damage to the Democratic Party, which it should do because 177 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.159 all these people did cover for him. 178 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.240 They did. And then to your point, once again, it 179 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.960 gives Trump carte blanche. Now they pretty much pardon any 180 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.679 J six defendant who is not a part of a 181 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.360 violent act on that day. It's gotten to the point 182 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.480 of ridiculousness. I believe the American people the sentiment is 183 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.279 on Trump's side, and with Biden completely overplaying his hand 184 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.279 on the pardon issue, I don't think Donald Trump's going 185 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.759 to catch much flak from anybody other than the hard left. 186 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.960 Well, and this brings us back to why he had 187 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.080 to speak truth to power today or to the powerless now, 188 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.279 but he had to say it to their face. He 189 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.799 goes into these legislative battles now and he's got this 190 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.000 very thin margin in the House. He's going to need 191 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:10.039 some Democrat senators maybe for certain things, and so he 192 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.240 has to send the message to everybody that if you 193 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.840 cross him, he's going to go after you publicly. So 194 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.480 he has to maintain this strength which helped him in 195 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.919 his first term, obviously helped him get a second term, 196 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.360 and now he needs it to get his agenda through 197 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.720 and as you alluded to, there are so many evil 198 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:34.480 actors in the world. He needs it with them. 199 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.759 He does. And Dan, I thought today it was just 200 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.559 wonderful from start to finish, the message that it sends, 201 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.639 the energy that I felt standing in Lyne in the 202 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.320 brutal cold of Washington, DC. It was so many fervent 203 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.720 Trump supporters that were determined to get in that building. Dan, 204 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.240 it was packed. There was every bed of twenty thousand 205 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.320 people in there at any one time. It was difficult 206 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.120 to get in. There were many people who didn't. They 207 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.720 were anticipating one hundred thousand people on the mall had 208 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.279 been normal weather conditions or security conditions, as you and iporized. 209 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.960 But I think there's just an energy level that's palpable. 210 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.840 There's a confidence level too. I think that was maybe 211 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.240 a little bit absent the first time around with Trump 212 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.600 is he was kind of navigating the waters. He knows 213 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.759 what he wants to do, he knows how he wants 214 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:16.919 to do it, he knows who he wants to do 215 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.279 it with, and you could tell by his actions as 216 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.759 words today, Dan, he is ready to go. And as 217 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.559 he is hitting the ground running today. 218 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.679 Oh yeah, and his political opponents are on their heels 219 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.159 now and Biden if they were on their heels before, 220 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.840 Biden knocked them right onto their backsides. So Ryan tremendous 221 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.559 job is always go get some food, Go get warm, 222 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.720 go get whatever else you want to go get and 223 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.519 then look forward to talking to you later. 224 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.120 All right, rooting for your fighting Irish tonight too, Dan, Yeah. 225 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.480 Thank you, my friend. You take care of that. Is 226 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.159 Ryan Shulan doing a great job. I knew he would 227 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.360 get into that arena. So when we come back, want 228 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.600 to get your take, get you some big highlights sound 229 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.879 from the day. Just one of the most important days 230 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.639 in American political history. And the best is you have 231 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.639 to come. You're on the Dan cap Show. 232 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.279 And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 233 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.080 What a great day for America and how perfect that 234 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.639 this inauguration came on MLKJ Because I have to believe 235 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.360 doctor King very happy with what he saw today, and 236 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.200 because certainly and President Trump so wise and appropriate to 237 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.360 think black voters, Latino voters in particular today during his 238 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.960 inaugural address, and because this is a key part of 239 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.799 him winning obviously, but but into the future, is this 240 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.399 shift now which is part of the shift of working 241 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.799 people in general, you know, toward the GOP and that 242 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.960 is critical for ongoing success in America. Eight F five 243 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.320 for zero five A two five five the number text 244 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.279 d A N five seven seven three nine. So I 245 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.320 really want to get your take on some of the greatest, 246 00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.639 most important moments stake because it was a mix, right, 247 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.679 there was so much fun stuff, you know, there's so 248 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.519 much funny stuff, so much fun stuff, so much impressive stuff, 249 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.960 interesting stuff, but so much I think that's going to 250 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.559 be lasting. And now we got a number of executive 251 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:17.200 orders signed tonight at the event at the Capitol One Center, 252 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.039 but the President saying he was going back to the 253 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.720 White House, and we just saw him walk back in 254 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:25.000 there to sign a bunch more, including what he said 255 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.480 will be j six pardons. So Biden's obviously made that 256 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.159 a lot easier on him by doing all of that 257 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.120 damage to Biden and the Democratic Party, hopefully with these 258 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.759 very slimy pardons. On the way out, I want to 259 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.480 get to some of the key sound of the day, 260 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.279 and then I'll dive right in this segment to text 261 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.320 as well. Let's start if you didn't hear it today, 262 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.960 and if you did, you probably want to hear it again, 263 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.879 with the President setting the tone right out of the 264 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.120 gate with his theme, the Golden Age of America begins 265 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.159 right now. Cut to please Zach. 266 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:04.039 Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts, 267 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:14.240 Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, 268 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:25.759 President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens. 269 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:37.519 The Golden Age of America begins right now. From this 270 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.879 day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again. 271 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.879 All over the world. We will be the envy of 272 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:46.320 every nation, and. 273 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.279 We will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of 274 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.600 any longer. 275 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.399 During every single day of the Trump administration, I will 276 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.519 very simply put America first. 277 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:07.279 Yes, I love the golden age point, because I think 278 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.440 that is going to be true. What we've seen since 279 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.360 Election Day already suggests that's going to be true. Now listen, 280 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.960 it's a human endeavor. There are always going to be 281 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:21.320 setbacks and events that nobody sees coming. But I love 282 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.279 the arc, and I think this is our very best 283 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.720 chance for that. And there's a lot he can accomplish 284 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.120 right with the phone in the pen, as Barack Obama said, 285 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:35.080 including pardons pro lifers who this administration, this Biden administration 286 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.919 so wrongfully, relentlessly pursued, you know, pardoning a pro lifer's 287 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:44.919 commutation of sentences, etc. J six. Obviously, President Trump saying 288 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:50.679 today that quoting him J six, hostages will be pardoned tonight, 289 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.159 some release tonight. So it'll be interesting to see what 290 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.279 happens on that front the administration, the new administration also 291 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:01.360 saying it would be folks who are arrested, convicted for 292 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:06.240 nonviolent offenses. So what watch as all of that comes down. 293 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.159 I want to get to some of the text, but 294 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.960 first just some of the other great sound from today. 295 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.000 And I know it's a little odd to play benediction sound, 296 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.200 but one of the enormous parts, arguably maybe the most 297 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:24.200 enormous of the Trump victory, is protecting and preserving religious 298 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:29.679 freedom less attack from the left at every level, local, state, national, 299 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.679 because they know if you vote your faith, they lose, 300 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.279 and so they've got to suppress religious freedom. Trump is 301 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.960 a beacon of strength to protect and advance religious freedom. 302 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.879 So the benedictions today, some were really powerful. Let's start 303 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:49.759 with Reverend Lorenzo Suole's benediction. He is a preacher in Detroit. 304 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.480 I thought was just incredibly powerful and great and also entertaining. 305 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.960 Right cut fork. 306 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.440 Please, Heavenly Father, were so greatankful that you gave our 307 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:06.640 forty fifth and now our forty seventh president a millimeter miracle. 308 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.640 We are grateful that you are the one that have 309 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:16.160 called him for such a time as this, that America 310 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:22.039 would begin to dream again. We pray that we would 311 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.079 fulfill the true meaning of our creed, that we hold 312 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:31.480 these truths to be self evident, that all men are 313 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:32.319 created equal. 314 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.880 We pray that you use our president that we will live. 315 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.480 In a nation well we will not be judged by. 316 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:45.200 The color of our skin, but by the content of 317 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.640 our character. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we are. 318 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:55.160 So grateful today that you will use our forty seventh president, 319 00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:01.960 so we would sing with new meaning, my country, sweet 320 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.039 land of liberty, of the i Sene, land. 321 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.759 Where my fathers die, Land of the pilgrim's pride. From 322 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:16.839 every mountainside, let freedom ring. And because America is called 323 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.519 to be a great nation, we believe that you will 324 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.960 make this come true. 325 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.920 So let freedom ring from. 326 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:31.319 The prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from 327 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:36.440 the mighty mountains of New York.

But 372 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.599 they were also so well done and so soaring and 373 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.680 inspiring and entertaining. But let me get some text in. Dan, 374 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.359 I'm not a religious person, but the speech was simply moving. 375 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.960 I don't know if that texture is referring to the 376 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:36.799 benediction from the Detroit minister, Reverend Lorenzo Sewell that I 377 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.880 played in the last segment, but yeah, that was very 378 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.880 powerful and moving. Reverend. It's actually Cardinal Timothy Dolan's inauguration 379 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.000 benediction was was also tremendous, and it was the first 380 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:53.039 of the group. And remember it's Cardinal Dolan in New 381 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.480 York who hosts the l Smith Dinner, the one that 382 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.519 Kamala Harris decided to pass on this year remarkably, and 383 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.400 so that may help explain in part why President Trump 384 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:06.960 won the Catholic vote by many estimates at this point 385 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.319 by fifteen percent, which would have been well beyond that 386 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.519 the margin of national victory. Dan says a Texter investigation 387 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.839 should be opened on everybody who got a preemptive pardon, 388 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.720 not for prosecution purposes, but for letting the public know 389 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.480 what really happened since January of twenty fourteen, and if 390 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.640 they do lie to the FBI, give them the Martha 391 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.400 Stewart treatment. This is such a critical point the Texter 392 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:35.240 makes because people who are pardon now lose their Fifth 393 00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.720 Amendment right since they don't face the possibility of prosecution, 394 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:43.920 federal prosecution. And so you could now as a congressional committee, etc. 395 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.400 Call people in and question them and they wouldn't be 396 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.640 able to take the fifth Now, let me put a 397 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.720 little aastterick on that, because maybe some argue, well, there's 398 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.160 a state charge they might face, and you know, the 399 00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:01.200 federal pardon, presidential pardon does not, as you know, relieve 400 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:06.079 anybody of that state crime exposure. So you know, be 401 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:10.039
