00:00:00.000If you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.
00:01:42.000We will not surrender our We are done with their distorted visions for America.
00:02:07.000It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again.
00:02:12.000We want our country to be great again.
00:02:15.000We want our country to be respected The time for action has come As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first,
00:02:43.000then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America We'll be right
00:04:02.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did, and the things we fought for, and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:04:30.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:04:35.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:06:14.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:06:18.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:06:25.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:06:32.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience.
00:06:38.000And tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:06:40.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:06:43.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:06:57.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:01.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:07.000Bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down.
00:07:11.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:15.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:07:44.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:07:50.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:08:05.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:08:15.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groeper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement, who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:08:45.000America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
00:08:56.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
00:11:22.000The courageous fallen the anguished fallen their lives have meaning because we the living refuse to forget them and as we ride to certain death we trust our successors to do the sin for us Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world!
00:12:33.000But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead, because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.
00:12:43.000Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on Earth.
00:12:50.000We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth.
00:13:01.000We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth.
00:13:52.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us.
00:26:49.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy, and more importantly, hire Americans.
00:26:58.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:27:15.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:27:23.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:27:33.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:31:01.000I hope everybody's off to a great start.
00:31:04.000And we're starting off strong, locking in with a massive stream.
00:31:09.000We're going to be watching the inauguration ceremony, which includes the inauguration of the president, his speech.
00:31:18.000And then it also actually includes, for people that have not been following how this schedule has been evolving over the past few days, There is also an event at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where apparently President Trump is hosting an event and is expected to sign executive orders.
00:31:40.000So this whole day has kind of been a little chaotic and a little bit in flux.
00:31:45.000They're not hosting the inauguration at the Capitol building outside.
00:31:50.000They say because of the weather, although many people speculate it's because of security concerns.
00:31:58.000Instead, they're hosting it inside the Capitol Rotunda, where there's a significantly limited audience.
00:32:05.000I believe it's only 750 people in attendance.
00:33:33.000The eyes and ears for the White House in the Senate, the place that he comes from, of course, leading the charge on issues like the border and immigration.
00:33:40.000These are huge, huge priorities for the incoming administration.
00:33:43.000Same when it comes to the opioid crisis.
00:33:45.000And Vance has obviously a very personal connection to that.
00:33:47.000This will be, you know, he's talked a lot about his roots in Abilene.
00:34:39.000Obviously, if they had it outside at the Capitol building, or I should say in front of the Capitol, they're inside the Capitol building.
00:34:48.000If they had it in front of the Capitol building, it was expected to be many thousands of people, but instead they're limited to 750. Inside the rotunda.
00:35:01.000They say that they moved the inauguration inside again because of the weather.
00:35:06.000But if you check the weather, it's not that cold in D.C. It's like 25 degrees, which is cold, but it's not that cold.
00:35:16.000It was around roughly the same temperature, I believe, when Barack Obama was inaugurated, which is what some liberals are saying.
00:35:24.000So instead, people say that it was actually out of concern for Trump's security.
00:35:29.000And people have noted that there were a number of other anomalies as well.
00:35:34.000It was announced late last week that the inauguration would be moved inside the rotunda, but there were rumors up until this morning that it would be held inside the White House, which would be completely unprecedented.
00:35:48.000They also expanded the security perimeter in the district.
00:39:00.000Not only is he not going to be the first man, but he's going to watch this convicted felon, insurrectionist, wannabe Hitler rapist swear the oath of office and become president for another four years.
00:40:40.000And they didn't want for Biden to be thrown out in such an ignominious fashion, really in a party coup, only for Kamala, who they only selected because she's a black woman, to take the lead.
00:40:56.000So, you know, she's relieved that Trump won.
00:41:00.000And honestly, I sort of thought that during the election, like I kind of thought that, like 60%.
00:41:07.000But you know, after Trump won, some of the things that Joe Biden was doing after the election, it made it obvious that that was 100% real.
00:41:17.000I'm talking about that he actually wanted Trump to win.
00:41:21.000The way that his whole demeanor is different suddenly became lucid, smiling, laughing after the election.
00:41:31.000If it wasn't clear when he wore the MAGA hat after the debate.
00:41:36.000It certainly was clear after the election that Jill and Joe wanted to see Kamala go down.
00:41:43.000As sick and as surprising maybe as that seems, they actually wanted Trump to win, so she must be eating that up.
00:45:09.000Well, while we've been chatting here, I've just been looking up the 20th Amendment to make sure it does say the terms of the president, the vice president, shall end at noon on the 20th day of January.
00:46:33.000It's a beautiful, it is a beautiful moment.
00:46:49.000I'm not in love with what we're getting, but...
00:46:52.000Mountains grand and all through this land He'll love you, pretty full to me America you're calling Look at this fat ass I can hear you calling me Dude, look at how ugly he is.
00:49:03.000The Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Honorable Kevin F. McCumber, Mr. John Bessler, Mrs. Kelly Johnson, Mrs. Iris Weinshaw Schumer, and Mrs. Jennifer Scalise.
00:51:00.000gentlemen escorting the president of the United here we go and the vice president of the United States ranking member of the Joint Congressional Committee on inaugural ceremonies the Honorable Deb Fisher House Democratic leader the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Secretary the Honorable Robert Duncan Here we go.
00:51:26.000Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, the Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr., and Vice President of the United States, Dude, he's happy.
00:52:20.000That's like a white solidarity moment.
00:52:23.000And it's actually beautiful to watch Ladies and gentlemen escorting the vice president elect the executive director for the Joint Congressional Committee on inaugural ceremonies Mr.. Michael Wagner Senate Deputy Sergeant at Arms and doorkeeper Jason Bell and House Deputy Sergeant at Arms Mr..
00:58:12.000He announced in June 2015 he'll leave office in January 2029. And Vice President-elect Vance will take their oath of office, and we will witness the peaceful transfer of power at the heart of our democracy.
00:58:36.000For the past year, I've chaired the inaugural ceremony committee, which includes the leadership of Congress from both parties.
00:58:53.000We thank the committee and capital staff and law enforcement who worked so hard over the last year, and especially the last three days.
00:59:02.000You've done a beautiful job and you have shown grace under pressure.
00:59:14.000Our theme this year is our enduring democracy.
00:59:18.000The presence of so many presidents and vice presidents here today is truly a testament to that endurance.
00:59:25.000We welcome President Biden and Dr. Biden.
00:59:30.000We welcome Vice President Harris and Doug Emhoff.
01:00:00.000Sorry for the language, but that is so unbelievable.
01:00:03.000It's very believable, but it's just outrageous.
01:00:06.000It is the moment when leaders, elevated by the will of the people, promise to be faithful to our Constitution, to cherish and defend it.
01:00:13.000It is the moment when they become, as we all should be, the guardians of our country.
01:00:19.000Through war and peace, through adversity and prosperity, we hold this inauguration every four years.
01:00:27.000And today it falls on Martin Luther King Day.
01:00:31.000A further reminder that we must strive to uphold the values enshrined in our Constitution, the freedoms, the liberties, and, as is inscribed on the entrance of the United States Supreme Court, equal justice under law.
01:01:05.000The ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
01:01:09.000President Kennedy, who at one point worked as a senator in this building and would often walk through this very rotunda, once said, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of interest in politics, holds office.
01:01:23.000Every one of us is in a position of responsibility.
01:01:28.000With that responsibility of citizenship comes an obligation not to seek out malice, as President Lincoln once reminded us, but to view others with a generosity of spirit despite our differences.
01:01:42.000With that responsibility of leadership comes an obligation to stand our ground when we must and find common ground when we can.
01:01:53.000With everything swirling around us, the hot mess of division, it is on all of us to quote an incredible songwriter who just happened to be born in my state to ensure that our nation's democracy is our shelter from the storm.
01:02:11.000There's a reason this ceremony takes place at the Capitol.
01:04:26.000And to preserve forever our right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:04:34.000But as much as the truths and principles enshrined in our Constitution remain the same, our democracy promises the American people the power to change, to chart their own destiny.
01:04:56.000It allows the endurance, the permanence of a nation through change.
01:05:05.000It allows nations like our United States both to avoid the obstacles and to seize the opportunities God has placed before us.
01:05:17.000Oh, you got the back in the back as well.
01:05:18.000Always staying true to our founding principles.
01:05:22.000Today is our country's 60th inauguration ceremony.
01:05:28.000Like all the others before it, it is a celebration of our right to set our uniquely American course.
01:05:37.000The past several years have been trying at times for many, many Americans, and also for the nations of the free world that we humbly strive to lead.
01:05:52.000Americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness, the secure, safe, and prosperous future that our founders envisioned for all of us.
01:06:06.000And today, we celebrate not only their decision to do so, but also the simple right and wisdom of a free people She's seething.
01:06:59.000Remembering General George Washington on his knees at Valley Forge, recalling Abraham Lincoln at his second inaugural, with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right.
01:07:17.000Remembering General George Patton's instructions to his soldiers as they began the Battle of the Bulge eight decades ago, pray, pray when fighting, pray alone, pray with others, pray by night, pray by day.
01:07:32.000Observing the birthday of the Reverend Martin Luther King who warned, without God our efforts turned to ashes.
01:07:41.000We, blessed citizens of this one nation under God, Humbled by our claim that in God we trust, gather indeed this Inauguration Day to pray for our President Donald J. Trump, his family,
01:07:57.000his advisors, his cabinet, his aspirations, his vice president, for the Lord's blessings upon Joseph Biden, for our men and women in uniform, for each other whose hopes are stoked this new year, this Inauguration Day.
01:08:16.000We cannot err in relying upon that prayer from the Bible, upon which our president will soon place his hand in oath, as we make our own the supplications of King Solomon for wisdom, as he began his governance.
01:08:32.000God of our fathers, in your wisdom you set man to govern your creatures, to govern in holiness and justice, to render justice with integrity.
01:08:41.000Give our leader wisdom, for he is your servant, aware of his own weakness and brevity of life.
01:08:49.000If wisdom which comes not from you be not with him, he shall be held in no esteem.
01:08:55.000Send wisdom from heavens that she may be with him, that he may know your designs.
01:10:14.000He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
01:10:19.000Our Father, today, as President Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office once again, we come to say thank you, O Lord our God.
01:10:30.000Father, when Donald Trump's enemies thought he was down and out, you and you alone saved his life and raised him up with strength and power.
01:11:40.000That I may reason with you before the Lord.
01:11:43.000So, Father, we take this moment to stand still, to remember the great things that you have done for this nation.
01:11:50.000Thank you for the protection, the bounty, the freedoms that we so enjoy.
01:11:57.000We remember to keep our eyes fixed on you.
01:12:02.000And may our hearts be inclined to your voice.
01:12:05.000We know that America can never be great again if we turn our backs on you.
01:12:11.000We ask for your help, and we pray all of this in the name of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, your Son, my Savior, and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
01:13:13.000Is that a Bible or is that the Vedas or something?
01:13:15.000I, James David Vance, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
01:13:31.000foreign and domestic against all enemies foreign and domestic that i will bear true faith that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and allegiance to the same that i take this obligation freely that i take this obligation freely without any mental reservations
01:13:49.000look at this guy mental reservation or purpose of evasion or purpose of evasion and that i will well and faithfully discharge and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office the duties of the office on which i'm about to enter on which i'm about to enter So help me God.
01:17:04.000bigger than Nixon I mean that's just definitively the most remarkable story politically in the 21st century maybe in a hundred years And certainly the greatest comeback.
01:17:24.000When you consider all of it, not even just the Capitol, but the charges, the conviction.
01:17:33.000I mean, the whole thing, it's just, there's never been anything like it.
01:22:08.000Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor and pleasure to introduce to you the 45th and the 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. it is my honor and pleasure to introduce to you the 45th the 45th and the 47th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
01:23:05.000Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts, Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens.
01:23:34.000The golden age of America begins right now.
01:24:24.000The scales of justice will be rebalanced.
01:24:28.000the vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end.
01:24:35.000And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
01:24:50.000America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.
01:25:05.000APPLAUSE I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success.
01:25:17.000A tide of change is sweeping the country.
01:25:20.000Sunlight is pouring over the entire world.
01:25:23.000And America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.
01:25:28.000But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face.
01:25:33.000While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America.
01:25:42.000As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust.
01:25:46.000For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair.
01:26:00.000We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalogue of catastrophic events abroad.
01:26:11.000It fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding American citizens, but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions.
01:26:28.000We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own people.
01:26:39.000Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina who have been treated so badly.
01:26:51.000And other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn
01:27:08.000From weeks ago, without even a token of defense, they're raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now.
01:28:09.000This is like more radical than anything from the campaign.
01:28:13.000My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal.
01:28:20.000And all of these many betrayals that have taken place and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their freedom.
01:28:33.000From this moment on, America's decline is over.
01:28:39.000Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of America's government.
01:29:02.000Over the past eight years, we have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history, and I've learned a lot along the way.
01:30:18.000All the former presidents won't stand.
01:30:20.000Under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength.
01:30:29.000We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
01:30:41.000for American citizens, January 20th, 2025, is Liberation Day.
01:30:49.000It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.
01:31:08.000As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda with dramatic increases in support from virtually every element of our society, young and old, men and women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural, and very importantly, we won a powerful win in all seven swing states, and the popular vote we won by millions.
01:31:42.000To the black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote.
01:33:57.000All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back W.
01:34:17.000We will reinstate my remain in Mexico policy.
01:34:23.000W. I will end the practice of catch and release.
01:34:47.000Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
01:35:13.000And by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks.
01:35:30.000bringing devastating crime to U.S. soil, including our cities and inner cities.
01:35:38.000As Commander-in-Chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threats and invasions, and that is exactly what I am going to do.
01:35:55.000We will do it at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
01:35:59.000Next, I will direct all members of my cabinet to marshal the vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices.
01:36:17.000The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency.
01:36:51.000nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth, and we are going to use it.
01:37:11.000We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again, right to the top.
01:37:18.000And export American energy all over the world.
01:37:27.000We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it.
01:37:35.000With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal, and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great...
01:38:24.000I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families.
01:38:32.000Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.
01:38:43.000For this purpose, we are establishing the external revenue service to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenue It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury, coming from foreign sources.
01:39:07.000The American dream will soon be back and thriving like never before to restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government.
01:39:16.000My administration will establish the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
01:40:22.000Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.
01:40:34.000And we are going to bring law and order back to our cities.
01:40:44.000This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.
01:40:55.000We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.
01:42:53.000Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen.
01:42:59.000we will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
01:43:11.000My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
01:43:39.000I'm pleased to say that as of yesterday, one day before I assumed office, the hostages in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.
01:43:51.000Yes, the Palestinian hostages held by Israel are being exchanged for those criminals that were imprisoned by Hamas.
01:44:11.000America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world.
01:44:23.000A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and we will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to America.
01:45:00.000And gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States.
01:45:12.000The United States, I mean, think of this, spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives.
01:45:22.000In the building of the Panama Canal, we have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made.
01:45:30.000And Panama's promise to us has been broken.
01:45:34.000The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated.
01:45:40.000American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape, or form.
01:46:19.000Above all, my message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history's greatest civilization.
01:46:30.000So as we liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights of victory and success.
01:46:40.000Together we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease free.
01:46:47.000The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations, and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons.
01:47:03.000And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
01:47:46.000Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers.
01:47:51.000The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts.
01:47:55.000The call of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls.
01:48:03.000Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic of the most extraordinary citizens on Earth.
01:48:17.000Americans pushed thousands of miles through a rugged land of untamed wilderness.
01:48:23.000They crossed deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, won the Wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny, lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched mankind into the heavens, and launched mankind into the heavens, and put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand.
01:48:46.000If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve.
01:48:53.000Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage such a historic political comeback.
01:49:00.000But as you see today, here I am, the American people have spoken.
01:49:25.000I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do.
01:49:31.000In America, the impossible is what we do best.
01:49:35.000From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington, D.C., our country from Houston to right here in Washington, D.C., our country was forged and built by the generations of patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.
01:50:02.000They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steel workers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward, marched forward, and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or their pride.
01:50:21.000Raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, and triumphed over every single challenge that they faced.
01:50:36.000After all we have been through together, we stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history.
01:50:43.000With your help, we will restore America's promise.
01:50:47.000And we will rebuild the nation that we love, and we love it so much.
01:50:51.000We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.
01:50:56.000So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
01:51:08.000We are going to win like never before.
01:53:11.000Ladies and gentlemen, performing America the Beautiful, please welcome the Armed Forces Chorus and Carrie Underwood. please welcome the Armed Forces Chorus and Carrie Underwood.
01:54:00.000Yeah, I'm glad we left the weave out of that one.
01:54:03.000When you leave the weave out, it's actually a good speech.
01:54:10.000Well, it's important to hear those themes like sovereignty and independence.
01:54:19.000That's my favorite part because that is really what separates nationalism from conservatism.
01:54:26.000It's a focus on sovereignty and independence and the identity of the nation rather than on abstract ideological values like freedom, limited government, individualism.
01:54:42.000Maybe if it's said succinctly like that, people can understand the real distinction between what we get from normal Republicans and what makes Trump unique.
01:54:53.000Sovereignty and independence are actually not ideological.
01:55:18.000It says the government should not be captured by special interests.
01:55:22.000So, you know, the words help me out here.
01:55:27.000Oh, they're going to not do it with the music.
01:55:33.000For gracious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain.
01:56:31.000Yeah, so I thought the speech was so I thought the speech was great.
01:56:55.000- Dr. Fisher will now introduce the benediction clergy. - I now call on Rabbi Ari Berman, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, and Reverend Frank Mund to provide prayers of benediction.
01:57:38.000Your prophet Jeremiah walked the streets of Jerusalem and blessed its inhabitants with the Hebrew words Baruch HaGever Eshe Yivtach BaHashem Blessed is the one who trusts in God.
01:57:56.000Thousands of years later, this great nation which adopted these words as its motto.
01:58:02.000In God We Trust stands at a moment of historic opportunity.
01:58:13.000Our merciful Father, help us rise to meet this moment.
01:58:18.000Bless President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance with the strength and courage to choose the right and the good.
01:58:28.000Unite us around our foundational biblical values of life and liberty, of service and sacrifice, and especially of faith and morality, which George Washington called the indispensable support of American which George Washington called the indispensable support of American prosperity.
01:58:48.000Guide our schools and college campuses.
01:59:31.000For the Middle East, almighty God, grant all Americans the opportunity to realize our shared dream of a life filled with peace and plenty, health and happiness, compassion and contribution.
01:59:49.000Stir within us the confidence to rise to this moment.
01:59:54.000For while we trust in God, God's trust is in us, the American people.
02:00:02.000America is called to greatness, to be a beacon of light, and a mover of history.
02:00:10.000May our nation merit the fulfillment of Jeremiah's blessing, that like a tree planted by water, we shall not cease to bear fruit.
02:00:21.000May all of humanity Experience your love and your blessing.
02:01:18.000Well, we will not be judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.
02:01:27.000Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we are so grateful today that you will use our 47th president so we would sing with new meaning, My country, tis of thee.
02:01:41.000Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
02:02:28.000But God, we're asking you not only that.
02:02:33.000Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain, Georgia.
02:02:37.000Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
02:02:41.000Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill in Mississippi, from every state, every city, every village, and every hamlet.
02:02:51.000And when we let freedom ring, we will be able to speed up that day.
02:02:56.000All of your children, black men and white men, Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Gentile will be able to sing in the meaning of that old Negro spiritual free at last.
02:03:35.000It's actually like a serious ceremony.
02:03:39.000Almighty and eternal God, we gather here today in reverence, joined in our shared hopes and we gather here today in reverence, joined in our shared hopes and dreams for our
02:04:00.000In this sacred moment of the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, we turn our hearts to you, seeking your divine assistance and abundant blessings upon this pivotal moment in history.
02:04:18.000We come before you with profound gratitude for the many gifts you have bestowed upon our land.
02:04:24.000Thank you for the freedoms we cherish, for the strength of our communities, and for the resilience of our spirit.
02:04:32.000As our president and vice president embrace their newly appointed roles, we humbly implore that your everlasting love and wisdom will envelop them.
02:04:44.000Is this Lutheran or what is this? - I'm inclined to navigate the challenges that lie ahead and the compassion to serve all citizens with fairness and integrity.
02:04:55.000May their hearts be filled with a giving spirit and sincere understanding for those whom they represent.
02:05:04.000May they be beacons of hope in times of uncertainty and prophetic voices in defending the dignity of all created life.
02:05:15.000We pray for a spirit of collaboration to flourish in our government and across our nation, fostering an environment where dialogue and heartfelt listening will prevail over division or discord.
02:05:31.000May each decision made by our President and Vice President Reflect the values of justice and peace.
02:05:39.000As we embark on this new chapter, we also seek your comfort, O God, for those who feel lost or disheartened.
02:05:49.000In this time of transition, may your light shine upon them, reaffirming their belief in a brighter tomorrow.
02:06:00.000May we all strive to lift one another, supporting our fellow citizens with kindness and empathy, recognizing that together we can overcome any adversity.
02:06:11.000Grant us the strength to endure, the courage to face our fears, and the clarity to see the light that remains even when clouds of uncertainty may gather.
02:06:23.000Inspire our new leaders to be champions for the vulnerable and advocates for those whose voices are often silenced.
02:06:34.000May they pursue policies that promote the well-being of all, seeking to build bridges that will foster unity and belonging.
02:06:42.000As we stand witness to this inauguration, we hold fast to the faith, to our faith, in the goodness of each of us and the possibility of change.
02:06:55.000We trust that with your guidance... ...
02:07:16.000Without Mary and Fred Trump, this day would never be the miracle that has just begun.
02:07:24.000From their place in heaven, may they shield their son from all harm by their loving protection and give him the strength to guide our nation along the path that will make America great again.
02:07:39.000Let us go forth now with these words of President Trump's Does he think this is his time?
02:13:42.000Like I said, hit the political establishment really hard, characterized himself as a departure not merely from the left, but from the past 30 years of post-Cold War presidents.
02:13:56.000And then again, reiterating those other themes about our identity as a nation, sovereignty, independence, those are very important words in the context of globalization.
02:14:08.000Now, here's where it falls apart a little bit for me.
02:14:11.000In terms of policy, it's all the stuff that we have come to expect.
02:14:16.000Border security, energy, some focus on technology, government efficiency, that sort of thing.
02:14:28.000The foreign policy stuff was actually surprisingly good.
02:14:31.000He talked about not getting into foreign wars.
02:14:33.000Didn't even really talk about Israel specifically.
02:14:44.000You got to keep in mind that the core issues that Trump was elected on.
02:14:49.000I'm going to turn this music off because it's super annoying.
02:14:52.000The core issues that Trump got elected on in 2016 were these.
02:14:57.000Immigration, foreign policy, and trade.
02:15:00.000Specifically, an America first immigration policy that meant building a border wall.
02:15:06.000A physical, real, 30-foot tall concrete wall, the specifications for which were revealed in 2018, that extends to at least 1,000 out of 2,000 miles of the southern border.
02:15:21.000It also means even reducing legal immigration.
02:15:25.000On foreign policy, it was about ending America's involvement in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and even...
02:15:34.000Reducing the reliance on the United States by South Korea, Germany, the NATO alliance.
02:15:40.000And then finally, on trade, it was about creating a robust and thorough trade program called industrial policy.
02:15:52.000That means that tariffs are here to stay.
02:15:55.000It means they're a systemic part of our economy.
02:15:59.000And the reason I say that is because that's actually not how they were treated in the first term under Biden or the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, doesn't think about it this way.
02:16:11.000Here's where there's been a departure in this inaugural address and in the recent campaign.
02:16:17.000On immigration, you'll notice Trump doesn't talk about a border wall anymore.
02:16:22.000It's just not even part of the conversation.
02:16:28.000There was no indication of a physical structure.
02:16:32.000When he's talking about border security, which I believe he'll do, he will implement executive orders like Remain in Mexico, which is migrant protection protocols.
02:17:39.000And Biden undid them in the first week, and we got 10 million illegals in four years.
02:17:44.000And now we're going to go back and do enforcement.
02:17:46.000So the border wall, I hope they'll resume construction of this wall.
02:17:52.000It's realistically an 18-foot bollard fence, which is different than a 30-foot concrete wall.
02:17:58.000I hope they'll resume construction, but I don't know if they will.
02:18:03.000They're going to do drones, they're going to do surveillance, they're going to do enforcement, but I don't think they're going to do a wall.
02:18:10.000And they're also not including the other aspects of it.
02:19:55.000Sanctions regime, maximum pressure campaign to try to get the population to overthrow Maduro.
02:20:01.000And then Trump gave them all TPS. They all came here as refugees and on this last day in office, Trump gave temporary protected status to all these illegal Venezuelans.
02:20:13.000Are we going to pick up where we left off?
02:20:15.000Biden allowed Venezuela to sell their oil to offset some of the...
02:24:06.000Because in politics, personnel is policy.
02:24:10.000So we have a great president, and he seems mostly aligned, but the people that he selected and appointed to run his cabinet are really not aligned on any of that.
02:24:21.000And if they are running these departments and agencies, they get to affect the policies.
02:24:27.000And so now the question is, has Trump learned from his mistakes the first time?
02:24:33.000Already, I would say, if I were to bet now, no.
02:24:37.000Because his appointments are all terrible.
02:24:40.000Mike Waltz, his national security advisor, is like a neocon.
02:24:44.000Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, neocon.
02:24:48.000Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, neocon.
02:24:51.000Our DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem, is not a border hawk and she's not strong.
02:24:57.000It's Christian Nielsen all over again.
02:26:10.000Everything he's been through, everything we've been through, I've been through in this movement, I have a lot of sentimentality and a deep attachment to him and to this movement.
02:26:20.000So my critique doesn't come from a place of hatred or personal animosity at all.
02:26:27.000It just comes from a place of having been a part of this for a very long time and in a very intimate way.
02:26:34.000And also really being married to America first.
02:26:38.000More than to this cadre of people that make up the Trump industry.
02:26:47.000So with that being said, I'm relieved he's alive, that he's the president, that he's not in jail.
02:26:53.000And for what it's worth, I believe the country will get better.
02:26:57.000Without a doubt, the administration of the country will improve.
02:28:00.000When Trump ran in 16, he ran as a revolutionary.
02:28:04.000And now that he's won the second time, the acceptance and tolerance of Trump by the system, to me, shows he's no longer a threat.
02:28:15.000And it seems like all these people that were storming the Capitol four years ago and thought the elections were rigged and the system was rigged, They're now firmly back on the plantation, voting and believing in the legitimacy and efficacy of the institutions, and I think Trump is actually having a re-entrenching or re-trenching effect on the political establishment.
02:28:44.000I think he creates confidence and credibility, ironically, for the system, and I don't necessarily think that's a good thing.
02:29:23.000Things have only gotten worse in the past 10 years.
02:29:27.000And is that politically really beneficial for our cause?
02:29:30.000I would have actually preferred, even though Kamala would be worse in every way, it would have incubated radicalism, anger, distrust, and yes, instability, chaos.
02:29:44.000It would be maybe horrible, maybe catastrophic.
02:29:49.000But I think it would have unleashed a lot of energy that could have actually propelled the country into a real revolutionary period where there could be actual change.
02:30:00.000So I really took like an accelerationist position.
02:30:04.000And with Trump in office, I think there's this release of pressure.
02:30:09.000I think there is this retrenchment of the establishment.
02:30:13.000I think it gives credibility to the government again.
02:30:16.000And I don't know that that's the best thing.
02:30:23.000I'm going to be watching for the next, hopefully for the next four years if no one else tries to kill me and succeeds.
02:30:30.000Hopefully, knock on wood, I will be here for the next four years and I'll be watching with you guys every day, Monday through Friday, 8 o'clock Central.
02:30:40.000And we're going to tell it to you, honestly, I'm going to be objective about it from my point of view as a legitimate radical.
02:31:26.000So I think reversing the demographic change and spiritual apostasy, those are really our biggest issues.
02:31:33.000Outside of that, in order to achieve those things, we have to reclaim our sovereignty as a nation.
02:31:40.000And as it stands, the people that are standing in the way of our sovereignty as a nation...
02:31:46.000Is a fifth column of Jews and said plainly that's what it is.
02:31:53.000When you look at Hollywood, when you look at banking, when you look at the donors, when you look at the influence of the Israel lobby and the Mossad, how they've compromised American tech, how they've compromised American intelligence and the media as evidenced by the response to October 7th, I think they clearly are the most influential faction in our government.
02:32:16.000That has been a major factor in the apostasy, the demographic change, and some of the other catastrophic trends.
02:33:39.000Like I said, I'll be here for the next four years, hopefully, covering all this.
02:33:44.000And if you voted for Trump, if you didn't vote for Trump, I'm going to give him a fair shake as somebody who has been really with this from the beginning.
02:35:26.000That's me, and that's what I'm about, and that's what this show is going to be about for the next four years in this inflection point in the history of the country.
02:35:37.000We're going to be talking about the role of this new technological oligarchy that was present here, that donated vast sums of money to Trump's campaign.
02:35:45.000We're going to be talking about these emergent technologies that are shaping the fifth industrial revolution.
02:42:27.000Hey, and by the way, if you're tuning out because this isn't the inauguration, make sure to follow me, smash the like button, and my show's coming back at 8 o'clock tonight, just because I can see, you know, the inauguration ceremony's over.
02:42:41.000So if you're leaving, remember, I'm going to be here at 8 o'clock tonight.
02:43:58.000And I was going to talk about the things that Joe did today with the pardons of people that were very, very guilty of very bad crimes, Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, where they literally, I mean, what they did is they destroyed and deleted all of the information, all of the hearings, practically not a thing left.
02:44:25.000They deleted all the information on Nancy Pelosi having turned down the offer of 10,000 soldiers.
02:52:09.000This has been a movement like no movement ever in history for probably any country, let alone this country.
02:52:15.000You know, if somebody's running for president, and if they go out and they announce they're going to Arizona, they're going to Nevada, they're going to someplace, if you have 200 or 300 people...
02:52:30.000I mean, outside of the last couple of days where people get a little excited, but even then you have a couple of thousand people.
02:52:36.000But if you're going to go someplace, any place, any one of the swing states, any one of the other states, I mean, how about the non-swing states?
02:52:56.000And, you know, places like California, we did great, but when they send out like 38 million ballots, nobody knows where the hell they're sending them, and then they come pouring back the whole thing.
02:53:06.000You know, they passed a law in California that if you work in an election bureau, and if you so much as ask for a voter ID, if you say, sir, ma'am, could I please look at your voter ID? They have the right to put you in jail.
02:58:04.000When you do it now, they just keep going further out, further out, further out, getting around.
02:58:09.000So we did an extra 200 miles, and it was all bought.
02:58:15.000And they announced that they're not going to put it up.
02:58:19.000And that's when I realized they wanted open borders, and that's when I realized that people are going to come pouring through the wall like nobody's ever seen before, but you've seen it.
02:58:29.000A lot of you are here because of that.
02:59:41.000So, anyway, so we built it, and they wouldn't let us use it.
02:59:46.000They wouldn't let the governor use it.
02:59:48.000And other governors, they wouldn't let them use it.
02:59:50.000But he was the leader of the pack and did a great job.
02:59:53.000And then we heard about a month ago that not only when they let it, excuse it, they were selling it, they were going to sell it for five cents on the dollar.
03:00:02.000Now, five cents on the dollar then, but today it would cost more than twice as much to build because we bought it like six years ago.
03:13:50.000People get really caught up with sentimentality and some of the rhetoric and the propaganda that gets put out, the video edits on TikTok or whatever.
03:14:00.000But at the end of the day, this is who we have.
03:17:52.000The establishment realized they'd have to live with him, but they'd only have to live with him for four more years, and they could control him.
03:18:00.000And they threw that bone to the base, and that's why no one is too perturbed about this.
03:18:04.000You know who's perturbed about Trump getting into office?
03:19:07.000But they're kind of being cheeky and they're kind of embracing it in a sort of like ironic, self-aware way because they know this is a stepping stone.
03:19:18.000Elite money realizes this is a stepping stone to unregulated oligopoly, monopoly.
03:21:06.000As I've said repeatedly, it's a remarkable and a powerful narrative.
03:21:11.000This comeback, the assassination attempt, overcoming the challenges and hurdles, a second term, seeing these faces here, Zuckerberg, the Google CEO, Apple CEO, Elon, it's all pretty remarkable.
03:21:31.000It's easy to get caught up in the sentimentality of the moment.
03:22:33.000Of all Trump's contributions came from those giving under $200 in 2024, the proportion of contributions that came from small-dollar donors was 28%, a little bit more than half.
03:22:48.000And if you look at the top 10 individual donors by dollar amount, in 2016, almost all of them were Democrats.
03:22:59.000In 2024, Eight of them were Republicans, including the top six, including the top five.
03:23:08.000Elon Musk, Miriam Adelson, among others.
03:23:15.000Mark Andreessen in the number 10 spot.
03:23:19.000This was a billionaire paid for campaign.
03:23:48.000And many of the tech oligarchs are compromised by Israel.
03:23:51.000They will benefit in the form of favorable treatment for Israel.
03:23:56.000And so I continue to believe that the big beneficiaries of this administration will be the tech oligarchs that bought in with Trump, the state of Israel, Wall Street.
03:24:08.000We're talking about corporate tax cuts.
03:24:11.000We're talking about the energy lobby, oil and gas lobby benefiting immensely.
03:24:18.000We're talking about Trump underwriting the expansion of the state of Israel.
03:24:23.000We're talking about government contracts for Palantir, SpaceX, Star Shield, all these different programs under Elon Musk.
03:24:36.000And I think, again, the revolutionary fervor of the first Trump campaign, which was about opposing the establishment, about nationalism, I think that is basically being steered.
03:24:52.000Trump's cult-like following, which he developed with the nationalist populist message, that energy is being rerouted, certainly away from anything revolutionary, back into the establishment for the benefit of billionaires.
03:25:07.000And Trump is being used as a vehicle for that.
03:25:20.000There was a good chance for Trump or the Republicans to win the White House.
03:25:24.000I think they bought him at his lowest, and now they expect to benefit immensely.
03:25:29.000And I think anybody that's arguing to the contrary that Trump is actually going to be energetic and independent and he is going to rout these people that he's hired or the people that bought his campaign, it's belied by the fact that that is who he is.
03:25:48.000You know, in other words, people think Trump is going to surprise us.
03:25:54.000He's actually going to turn now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election and he's going to outmaneuver the billionaires and the bureaucrats.
03:26:39.000If Trump fails, if there is a crisis under Trump, it will...
03:26:45.000It will actually undermine the credibility of the center.
03:26:49.000If the center-left and the center-right are both a catastrophe, it could be a fertile ground for genuine radicalism.
03:26:58.000And people are already talking about a class warfare sentiment rising up, and I don't love that, but I'm not necessarily opposed to it entirely.
03:27:06.000But if the center-right pushes too far, if they overplay their hand, and I think they will, if there's failures, I don't think there's enough time for the center-left to recoup.
03:27:17.000I think that in 2028, there's an opportunity for genuine radicalism to come from the right or the left, and I think that's beneficial.
03:27:25.000So I'm looking ahead to 28. I'm looking ahead to 2032. I think that if the – let's say Trump sucks or is mediocre, and then if Vance gets in and he's terrible, If they infringe on our liberties, if artificial intelligence creates tremendous disruption in society, then maybe by 28 or 32, we could see something really fresh and really radical.
03:27:52.000That's kind of, I think, the only hope.
03:27:54.000I don't think Trump will deliver the victory.
03:29:35.000These are the sub-cabinet appointments.
03:29:38.000I'm hoping these are not all the executive orders, because they said there'd be between 50 and 200, and two of these are cabinet, and then there's three more.
03:29:47.000So I think this might just be the formal ones, unless I'm wrong.
03:30:39.000Lastly, we have a proclamation ordering about all future inauguration days, including this inauguration day that flags shall be flown at full mast.
03:33:32.000Like I said, show us tonight at 8. Make sure to tune in.
03:33:35.000We're going to go over a lot of stuff.
03:33:37.000We're going to talk about a lot of the things that have happened between the election and the transition, mainly focusing on the things since Christmas that I wasn't here to cover.
03:35:15.000Like, I did nothing because I genuinely, without the show, without this movement, without politics, I don't think I would exist as a person.
03:35:28.000Like, there's nothing else I enjoy besides politics.
03:38:26.000I was in fourth place for most of it, which is pretty remarkable because it's like two Trump streams, RSBN and Trump's channel himself and Steven Crowder.
03:39:58.000appreciate you that black guy's speech ruined it absolute cringe i don't want to say it but it's so typical that the black guy is allowed an obnoxious one in the room skull well you know that's their culture whatever They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
03:40:09.000I mean, people look at stuff like that and they say, oh, well, you know, that's just classic, like a black preacher sort of a thing.
03:45:32.000On behalf of the United States Congress, welcome to the 60th inaugural lunch.
03:45:37.000Big surprise, we are featuring Nebraska beef and Minnesota apples for dessert.
03:45:44.000We are here in Statuary Hall, where these luncheons have taken place since President Reagan's first inauguration in 1981, and where the House of Representatives once met.
