We're getting more news. 5 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.839 About President President elect Trump and what he's going to do. 6 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.519 We're going to be talking to Joel large. 7 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.760 Guard a little bit later on and Blake Trolley at 8 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.399 the fire and awaiting the press conference where the current 9 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.119 president Joe Biden is going to be giving remarks after 10 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.280 the Trump win. And what would we expect, by the way, 11 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.240 as soon as he starts, because he was supposed to 12 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.880 start at eight o'clock, and now it's what eight oh eight, 13 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.759 eight six, eight oh seven. 14 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.399 I'm very bad with the time here. 15 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:48.960 They're very bad with the time. 16 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:49.240 Bill. 17 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.000 They seem to be very bad with the time. Also, 18 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.079 remember George W. Bush Ben he would be to the second. 19 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.679 You can set your watch to when he started. In 20 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.399 any case, as soon as the president goes up to 21 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.879 the podium, we'll go ahead and cut right to him. 22 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.079 So he is going to address the nation following the victory. 23 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.799 And until four months ago, Biden was seeking the re 24 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.799 election and that turned around, and. 25 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.280 Here's what happened. 26 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.640 He decided in July Okay, I'm out, I'm done. Under 27 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.640 intense pressure, he did not decide. He caved to the pressure, 28 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.040 especially after that disastrous. 29 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:36.920 Debate with Donald Trump. 30 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.439 Now, we just heard a report by Amy who quoted 31 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.640 Andrew Yang, who was a former presidential candidate on the 32 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.680 Democratic Party who later endorsed Kamala Harris, and he said, 33 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:58.200 had Kamala Harris been nominated in January where Biden, when 34 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.359 Biden should have dropped out instead of with all the 35 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.480 Hubers in the world deciding who was going to run again, 36 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.000 because people don't drop out when what you president, you 37 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.319 want to stay president. Had Biden decided in January, the 38 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.479 outcome might very well have been different. 39 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.520 No, the outcome would not have been different. 40 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.240 As I talked about in the last two segments that 41 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.400 the Kamala Harrison, the Democrats were not running against a Republican, 42 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.479 They were not running against a political figure. They were 43 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.280 running against Donald Trump. Now, I know in politics you 44 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.280 do run against an individual who's representing the party or 45 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:47.319 running for president for under policy platforms whatever. Donald Trump 46 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.280 has no policy. He was not elected on any issues. 47 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.599 Now there's the issue of inflation, which affected everybody. Well, 48 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.800 bottom line, I think if it was anybody else Donald Trump, 49 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.680 I think the election would have gone the other way. 50 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.000 Same thing happened in twenty sixteen. 51 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.719 The worst Democratic candidate that the Democrats could have put forward, 52 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.560 Hillary Clinton, the worst Republican that the Republicans could have 53 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.840 put forward, Donald Trump. 54 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.520 It was both at the bottom. 55 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.840 And here I'm not going to say that Kamala Harris 56 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.599 is the worst. I think Kamala Harris has the credentials. 57 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.080 I mean when you look at her as a Senate 58 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:40.199 at attorney general, a prosecutor, a state attorney general, prosecutor, 59 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.000 you know, I mean there's credentials there. 60 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:43.520 There's no question about that. 61 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.800 And I think she had the capability. I don't have 62 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.120 a problem with that. I think she has the wherewithal. 63 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.000 I think she had the personality. I think she had 64 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.680 the chops to go out and campaign. Clearly, you could 65 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:03.439 see that she had a great smile. I mean, Donald 66 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759 Trump's smile is it's about as rictus as you can get, 67 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.240 isn't it doesn't Donald Trump's smile look like he is 68 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.959 in a coffin and the mortician is making him smile. 69 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.279 But the point is. 70 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.920 She ran against Donald Trump and Donald Trump today in 71 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.560 this Ay and age. Not because he's a Republican, not 72 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.279 because of his campaign, not because he talked about inflation 73 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.759 that was to an extent, not he talked about immigration 74 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.680 to an extent, but mainly. 75 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.959 Because he is Donald Trump. As I said. 76 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:45.079 Before, So he the current president, said that he spoke 77 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.399 yesterday with Trump, congratulating Trump, inviting Trump to a meeting 78 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.120 at the heighth White House. 79 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:54.079 Which is traditional. 80 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.639 By the way, Trump did not do the reverse when 81 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.199 he lost to Joe Biden and inviting him, and this 82 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.680 is going to happen. The two of them, They'll have breakfast. 83 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.839 This is traditional. They have breakfast at the White House. 84 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.560 They then go down the steps, get into a limousine 85 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.399 and drive together to the inauguration and Joe Biden sits 86 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.040 in the audience up on the stage as the next 87 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.279 president gets sworn in, which. 88 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.839 If memory serves, did Donald Trump do that. He did not. 89 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.160 When Biden was elected, He got the hell out of Dodge. 90 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.199 We didn't know if he was going to leave the 91 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.040 White House. He didn't say whether he was going to 92 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:38.920 leave the White House. 93 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:44.560 And a peaceful transition of power, and Biden and Harris 94 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:50.560 both have push push pushed that we are going to 95 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.600 have a transition, a peaceful transition of power, because this 96 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:55.560 is America. 97 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:56.439 All right. 98 00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.800 We are awaiting the president to speak to the nation 99 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:05.680 about the Trump win and the Harris loss. And he 100 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.759 should be up momentarily, and we will cut my conversation 101 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:17.279 with you immediately upon the start of his remarks, much 102 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:23.000 like my conversation is cut immediately when Amy talks or 103 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.000 Ann interrupts or whatever. All Right, while we're waiting, he 104 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.759 is going to talk about Kamala Harris. And this morning 105 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:37.639 we talked about her speech yesterday and it was described 106 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:45.959 as gracious, it was described as I guess, compassionate, but 107 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.000 the zingers that came through in a left handed way, well, 108 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.600 not even so much in a left handed way. 109 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.160 She basically accused him of. 110 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:04.040 Well trying to ride the election of Biden, trying to 111 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.879 undermine democracy, talking about the peaceful transfer of power in 112 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.279 which there was some real doubt when Joe Biden took 113 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.079 the presidency. Joe Biden was elected against Donald Trump the 114 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:25.079 first time out, and basically just made herself a very 115 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.920 different politician, made herself a very different candidate than this president, 116 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.759 this president elect. And as I have said, and I 117 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.199 have reiterated, it this morning. This is just one weird, 118 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:45.000 weird presidency. One of the things, for example, the president 119 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:51.360 elect has vowed to fire Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, 120 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.399 the second he becomes the president, the second he has 121 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.480 sworn in. As his hand comes down after the swearing 122 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.480 in ceremony, there will be a document waiting for him 123 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.759 and a pen handed to him, in which he will 124 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.519 fire Jack Smith, a special prosecutor. And then the second 125 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.240 signature will be to order the Justice Department to drop 126 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.759 all the cases against him, all the federal cases against him. 127 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.079 And the third document that. 128 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.240 Will be up there will be a pardon of all 129 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.439 the January sixth And I'm going to put this in 130 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:37.759 quotes patriots who in fact assembled peacefully to try to 131 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:44.000 uphold the Constitution in not certifying Joe Biden's election. And 132 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:49.440 that's going to happen virtually immediately. Now can he do 133 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:49.840 all of that? 134 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.519 Of course he can. 135 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.039 He is the president and it's all under his powers 136 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:59.879 as the executive Well, Jack Smith is not waiting. Jack Smith, 137 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:01.879 You're not going to fire me. 138 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:02.639 I'm going to quit. 139 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.960 And that's exactly what he is doing. He has already 140 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.799 made plans to wrap it up. Now you think he 141 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.159 just walks away and you think they just drop it. 142 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.480 There is a process there by which a federal case 143 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:24.759 is dropped. The only thing that is sort of up 144 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:29.480 in the air is the punishment ahead of him. That 145 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:36.120 he was convicted of the payoff money to Stormy Daniels. 146 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:40.320 That was a conviction, and so he is about to 147 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.200 be this month, the end of this month, he is going. 148 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:44.080 To be sentenced. 149 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.360 That is going to be fascinating. That is going to 150 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.639 be fun to look at. Why, well, have you ever 151 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.759 seen a president Well, first of all, a candidate being 152 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:02.799 convicted of a crime, A candidate who was president of 153 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:08.080 the United States convicted of a crime. A judge who 154 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:13.480 is going to sentence the president, well, president elect of 155 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:14.399 a crime. 156 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.159 And what's going to happen? Well, I mean, is he 157 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.679 going to see jail time? I don't think he. 158 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.759 Is going to govern the country from the inside of 159 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.480 a cell. I don't think that's going to happen. So 160 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.360 will be there some kind of probation. 161 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:32.480 I don't know. 162 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:38.080 Does the president as president call a probation officer and 163 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:45.480 check in, telling him where he is living, what he 164 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:54.480 is doing, working, looking for gainful employment. No one has 165 00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:01.039 any idea. And then you have lawyers for Trump that 166 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:06.200 are moving into court and are asking for some kind 167 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.039 of immunity. 168 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.120 Except I don't know where that's going to go. 169 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.320 Why is that Because all of this happened while he 170 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:19.120 was a candidate. It is well, as I said this, 171 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:24.879 this guy is so unique, so incredibly unique. Remember, he 172 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.399 was convicted on thirty four counts of falsifying business records 173 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.399 to cover up the hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels, 174 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.440 who alleged the prior affair with the President elect. Of 175 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.639 course he denies the affair. Is there anybody out there? 176 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.639 Is there anybody out there that doesn't believe that, in fact, 177 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.399 Donald Trump is a womanizer. 178 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.919 Redeaturing the rose garden at the White House destination? 179 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.639 All right, so we can stop listening to me. I 180 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:55.759 can stop listening to me. 181 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:05.879 Perfect, thank you, perfect, thank you, thank you, thank you, please, 182 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.200 thank you, thank you, thank you. 183 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:12.279 Yeah. 184 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.000 It's good to see you all, particularly good to see 185 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.759 my granddaughter sitting in the front row here at beIN Hawaii, Honey. 186 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.080 For over two hundred years, America has carried out the 187 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.559 greatest experiment in self government and history of the world. 188 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.879 And that's not hyperbole. That's a fact were the people. 189 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.240 The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they 190 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.159 do it peacefully, and we're in a democracy. 191 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:44.720 The will of the people always prevails. Yesterday I spoke 192 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.559 with President. 193 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:49.240 Elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I 194 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:53.360 assured him I direct my entire administration to work with 195 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.279 his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. 196 00:12:58.679 --> 00:12:59.960 That's what the American people deserve. 197 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:06.000 Yesterday I also spoke with Vice President Harris. She's been 198 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:10.279 a partner and a public servant. She ran an inspiring 199 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.759 campaign and everyone got to see something that I learned 200 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.000 early on to respect so much her character. She has 201 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.480 a backbone like a ramrod. She has great character, true character. 202 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.360 She gave her whole heart and effort, and she and 203 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.960 her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran. 204 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:34.320 You know, the struggle for the soul of America since 205 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:40.080 our very founding has always been an ongoing debate and 206 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.639 still vital today. I know for some people it's a 207 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.799 time for victory to state the obvious. 208 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.519 For others, it's a time of loss. 209 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:56.320 Campaigns your contest of competing visions, the country chooses one 210 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.519 or the other. We accept the choice the country made. 211 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.039 I've said many times, you can't love your country only 212 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:12.480 when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when 213 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.919 you agree something. I hope we can do no matter 214 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.799 who you voted for, they see each other not as adversaries, 215 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.879 but as fellow Americans. 216 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:24.840 Bring down the temperature. 217 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.240 I also hope we can later rest the question about 218 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.720 the integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest, 219 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:38.320 it is fair, and it is transparent, and it can 220 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.600 be trusted, win or lose. 221 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.799 I also hope we. 222 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.799 Can restore the respect for all our election workers who 223 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.679 busted their necks and took risks at the outset. We 224 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.399 should thank them, thank them for staffing voting sites, counting 225 00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:00.159 the votes, protecting the very integrity of the election. Any 226 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.559 of them are volunteers who do it simply out of 227 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.960 love for their country and as they did as they 228 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.320 did their duty as citizens. I will do my duty 229 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:16.519 as president. I'll fulfill my oath and I wanted the Constitution. 230 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.639 On January twentieth, we'll have a peaceful transfer of power 231 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:27.960 here in America to all our incredible staff, supporters, cabinet members, 232 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.480 all the people who have been hanging out with me 233 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.360 for the last four years. God love you, as my 234 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.559 mother would say, thank you so much. You put so 235 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.080 much into the past four years. I know it's a 236 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.879 difficult time. 237 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:39.440 You're hurting. 238 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.120 I hear you, and I see you. But don't forget. 239 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.919 Don't forget all the we accomplished. It's been an historic presidency, 240 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.519 not because I'm president, because what we've done, what you've done, 241 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.000 a presidency for all Americans. Much of the work we've 242 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.320 done is already being felt by an American people. If 243 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.759 the vast majority of it will not be felt, we 244 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.480 felt over the next ten years, we have it. We 245 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.360 have legislation we passed. It's just only now just really 246 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:14.279 kicking in. We're going to see over trillion dollars worth 247 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.919 of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives and rural communities 248 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.840 and communities that are in real difficulty because it takes 249 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.200 time to get it done, and so much more. It's 250 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:32.240 going to take time, but it's there. The road ahead 251 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.039 is clear, assuming we sustain it. There's so much, so 252 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.840 much we can get done and will get done based 253 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.639 the way the legislation will passed, and it's truly historic. 254 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:50.600 You know, we're leaving behind the strongest economy in the world. 255 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.000 I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. 256 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:58.279 Together, we've changed America for the better. 257 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.360 Now we have seventy four days to finish the term, 258 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:08.279 our term. Let's make every day count. That's the responsibility 259 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.960 we have to the American people. Look, folks, you all 260 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.720 know it in their lives. Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving 261 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.359 up is unforgivable. 262 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.680 Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable. 263 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.400 We all get knocked down, But the measure of our characters, 264 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.720 my dad would say, is how quickly we get back up. Remember, 265 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:33.759 a defeat does. 266 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.319 Not mean we are defeated. We lost this battle. 267 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:43.039 America of your dreams is calling for you to get 268 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:47.119 back up. That's the story of America for over two 269 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.119 hundred and forty years and counting. It's a story for 270 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.880 all of us, not just some of us. The American 271 00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.400 experiment and doors. We're going to be okay, but we 272 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.160 need to stay engaged. 273 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:03.720 We need to. 274 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.319 Keep going, and above all, we need to keep the faith. 275 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.279 So proud to have worked with all of you. I 276 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:16.880 really mean it, I sincerely mean it. God bless you all, 277 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.880 God bless America and May God protect our troops. Thank you, 278 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.720 thank you, thank you. 279 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.359 An extraordinary thing just happened. A few minutes ago. President 280 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.920 Biden addressed the nation. 281 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:39.640 Usually whenever there is a win, the candidates. 282 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:41.240 Are the ones that address the nation. 283 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:46.799 The winner addresses the nation, usually at the party that headquarters. 284 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:54.960 The loser addresses usually at headquarters and concedes and says 285 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.359 the usual, It's been a great fight, and now we 286 00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.480 have to unify, and he's our president. 287 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.480 Yata. This did not happen. 288 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:12.519 President Biden came up and ripped into President elect Trump, 289 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:18.519 now not specifically, not face on or head on. What 290 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.440 he talked about was the peaceful transfer of power. He 291 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:28.920 mentioned that several times, obviously in relation to the last 292 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:33.519 time when Donald Trump won the presidency, and it was 293 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.400 a real issue as to the peaceful transfer of power, 294 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.920 because Trump had said, first of all, you would never 295 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.839 even concede having lost to this day. 296 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.079 Second of all, he was not there. 297 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:50.000 If you don't, if Biden didn't win, why would you concede, 298 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.519 Why would you talk about the peaceful transfer of power? 299 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:54.000 Based on what Trump believes. 300 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.759 I understand not being there at the White House, getting 301 00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.519 on a plane and bailing out. 302 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.680 And totally different. 303 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:05.839 So Biden talks about the peaceful transfer of power. 304 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.240 This is what the Constitution is about. 305 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.279 One of the things that I talked about, and that 306 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.119 is as much as I didn't want Donald Trump to 307 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.039 win the presidency, there was a part of me that 308 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.599 did want Donald Trump to win the presidency. 309 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.359 And I'll tell you why, because. 310 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.319 There was all the lawsuits had already been filed, and 311 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:30.039 there was going to be half a civil war if 312 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.640 Donald Trump lost this selection. I don't think it would 313 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.079 have been a civil war that was fighting. I don't 314 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.400 think you would have seen arms, but I think you 315 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.000 would have seen an outrage and a group of Americans 316 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.839 so outraged not recognizing the win. Again, as Donald Trump 317 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:50.640 had said, if I don't win, it is rigged. You're 318 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.400 not seeing the Democrats say that, and we don't have 319 00:20:54.440 --> 00:21:02.279 to worry about rigging accusations. All those lawsuits will be dismissed. Now, 320 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.119 there's some real downsides Trump being president. The one that 321 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:09.559 actually bothers me almost the most is those insurgentists, those 322 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.759 insurgents who overran the Capitol are going to walk. That 323 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.319 one really bothers me. The attack on the Capitol is, 324 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:21.880 according to Trump, was a patriotic act by patriots. 325 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.599 Upholding the constitution. That one's a tough one for me 326 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.240 to accept. 327 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.960 The policy stuff, you know, it happens, you know, I mean, 328 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.799 I get it with the tariffs and all that. That's 329 00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.279 that's his view, and that's the president's view, and I'm 330 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:34.759 fine with that. 331 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.160 Not fine, but I'm you know, that's who he is. 332 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.319 But the overrunning of the Capitol was a problem. 333 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.920 So what we have done is we've dodged the bullet 334 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.839 of once again denying that there was a fair and 335 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.680 free election, except this time it was going to be 336 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:53.440 even worse. 337 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:55.720 This time. 338 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.039 I think the outrage of the Trump loss would have 339 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.720 gone beyond anything we've imagined. 340 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:05.599 And I had said I was pretty scared. 341 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:09.079 But we don't have to worry about that because Trump 342 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.839 won and we don't have to worry about a fair 343 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:13.599 and free election. We don't have to worry about the 344 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:18.480 accusation of rigging, none of that. And as I said, 345 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.000 we've dodged the bullet. So that is the benefit. I 346 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.960 think a real benefit is sort of a left handed 347 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:32.440 way that Donald Trump president elect. Donald Trump has won 348 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.519 and on January twentieth, we are going to have a 349 00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:40.720 new President, who, as he said, literally, the first thing 350 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.960 he is going to do as his hand goes down 351 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.759 from swearing being sworn in, is signed an executive order 352 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.200 deporting eleven million people. That was going to be kind 353 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.480 of interesting. And other executive actions are going to happen 354 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:02.119 Day one. All right, now, there is a fire going on, 355 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.240 Mountain Fire in Ventura County, and I was made the 356 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:08.359 national news last night, and it was big time. When 357 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.640 a fire in southern California makes the national news, you 358 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.359 know it's a big fire. This was a big is 359 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.880 a big fire. It's the Mountain fire. As I was 360 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.319 watching the I was watching TV and they were showing 361 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.279 video with the fire. The flames were going sideways, the 362 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.240 wind was blowing so hard. Blake Trolley, KFI reporter is there. Blake, 363 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.799 good morning and tell us what's going on. 364 00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.319 Well, first and foremost, give me one second, Bill, I'm 365 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:40.839 having some audio issues. First and foremost. I think the 366 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.799 one thing that we need to address with this fire 367 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.559 is just the level in which you're describing those winds. 368 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:47.960 They had gus of up to eighty miles per hour yesterday. 369 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.400 Those gus continue this morning. We're told up to forty 370 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.799 miles per hour, and they're expected through at least this afternoon. Now, 371 00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:57.799 this fire started between Somus and More Park. This is 372 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.240 just kind of northeast of Camrio, you will. It began 373 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.400 burning in some hillsides. It immediately hit brush. It also 374 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.400 hit agriculture. So when I showed up to the fire 375 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.599 yesterday about a couple hours into it burning, it was 376 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.799 burning in hills just above some citrus groves. There's almost 377 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.839 no way it did not hit those citrus groves. And 378 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.440 as you mentioned, there has been a loss of homes. 379 00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.400 I'm hearing numbers of up to fifty. But officials yesterday 380 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:25.440 told us it was just too dangerous for them to 381 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:31.920 essentially conduct account. So with that, they're anticipating account this morning. 382 00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:33.599 They're supposed to give us an update in an hour. 383 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.839 I'm curious if we'll actually get a number of those structures. 384 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:39.599 One of the issues with this fire again and we 385 00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.240 just have to hone this in, is the wind. This 386 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:44.960 wind was whipping yesterday when we got here, it sent 387 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:49.720 that fire moving fast. Firefighters really had to take a 388 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.400 priority of getting people out of their homes and to safety. 389 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.119 They said at some points they had to stop what 390 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.119 they were doing to get people who were trapped inside 391 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.200 their homes back to safety. We saw this playout in 392 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.400 video yesterday. We saw a video of one woman. She 393 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.039 was in a wheelchair. Deputies are trying to get her out. 394 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.839 You see that orange, smoky air through this just blowing 395 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.839 through the area. It was a very intense scene throughout 396 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.519 the night last night. Air crews were dropping water, they 397 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.680 were dropping retardant. That was a challenge initially with this fire. 398 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:24.920 Keep in mind, when you have winds like this, this 399 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.279 becomes very challenging for aircraft. So we were told yesterday 400 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.000 they did a survey and decided it was just too 401 00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.400
