In honor of Martin Luther King Day, Vice President Joe Biden joins Jemele to discuss his remarks at the Inaugural address, and why he thinks President Trump's remarks were the best speech of the 20th century. Plus, a look back at the most memorable moment of the day and a look ahead to the 2020 midterms.
00:03:26.580It's Wednesday, 21 January, year of our Lord, 2025.
00:03:31.580What we're trying to do and juxtapose, but the—it's not the radical left.
00:03:37.580The established order is so triggered by this, as I told you there were going to be, that we have to have a reset here already and make sure we understand our battle plan and how we're going to power through this.
00:03:49.580To start off, I want to thank Rob Sigg, Parker Sigg, Harry, the team in Denver, led by Wendell, our director, and also Cameron and Will, our producers here, and many others, Mo Bannon, Grace Chung.
00:04:03.580Yesterday was a logistics—really tough logistically because of the bitter cold in the wind up high.
00:04:18.580And John Solomon, everybody that pitched in from the studios and, of course, Ben Burquam and others, David Zier and Michelle Bacchus at the arena, it kind of came together.
00:04:33.580When you're in that moment, it's very tough to kind of keep exactly what's going on.
00:04:42.580And it was a speech where President Trump did two things.
00:04:45.580He gave you where we're going, the sunlit uplands, what I call the new golden age, the new golden age of America.
00:05:00.660And he laid that out, and he talked about unifying and pulling the country together, given the victory he had and particularly what that victory can potentially mean on demographic groups and pulling people together and talking about America first and MAGA, the MAGA policies that unifies.
00:05:22.660But then he also—he giveth and he taketh away.
00:05:29.660He put the political class on notice with just some brutal reality of what he's overcome, the weaponization, all of it, the destruction of our sovereignty.
00:05:42.660He said, quite frankly, we're going to take our sovereignty back.
00:05:45.660Well, in order to get our sovereignty or return to our sovereignty means somebody gave it up, and that was the people sitting there.
00:05:51.660Both Republicans and Democrats in Bush 43, and I realize some traditional Republicans may not like to hear this, but I don't care.
00:06:03.660Not as much as—it's gotten worse over time, finally reaching a crescendo with Biden because we don't know today even who's calling all the shots.
00:06:15.660Bush 43, and so Trump did two amazing things, and this is why it will go down as a classic inaugural address.
00:06:23.660And can we get—I think I gave the Time magazine cover, if Denver can get that, if we can't send it to him.
00:06:32.660But the—inside the Capitol, underneath that magnificent dome, although it was very restricted, it was TV lighting.
00:06:56.660It looks like it could go up next to the painting of Cornwallis surrendering to General Washington and Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton.
00:07:08.660Did they have some pretty impressive people at Yorktown, some people that made a difference where they played the tune The World Turned Upside Down?
00:07:18.660That tune they could have played yesterday at this magnificent event where Trump did two things.
00:07:26.660Trump both talked about the big vision and the big picture of pulling the country together and taking us to a new golden age of peace and prosperity at the same time putting the political class on notice that we are taking our sovereignty back and we are going to return America to her greatness.
00:07:45.660There's two lessons there for this audience.
00:07:51.660The first is how we got to that moment and the second is how we're going to get to the sunlit uplands supporting President Trump.
00:08:04.660And this gets down to the meaning of populism and the meaning of being a populist nationalist.
00:08:13.660So let's go back in time to the 2020 election or really even the pandemic or maybe before the impeachment.
00:09:40.660And I mean, all of those were part of the let's not put Trump live for 18 months to two years because Murdoch ordered it because he might talk about the stolen election.
00:09:51.660What did we do every day hammered here?
00:09:57.660If you hammer enough on this and you hammer enough on this and you give up, you put up evidence and you hammer and you hammer and you hammer and you hammer.
00:10:05.660Eventually, the Republican Party, but then the independents and then the Democrats and the American people will eventually get to understand that this is an illegitimate regime under Biden.
00:26:22.660Was all these different think tanks and emerging think tanks and people thinking of populist nationalists in America first.
00:26:28.660These ideas because ideas have consequences and these ideas bubbling up and being thought through in these verticals of here's what we're going to do here.
00:26:35.660And more importantly or as importantly the networks of people working together becoming subject matter experts.
00:26:40.660What do we preach over and over and over again.
00:26:44.660This is the this is the the governmental arm or this is the extraction force.
00:29:50.660So the Bedford boys in the 29th Infantry Division at Omaha Beach is the legendary.
00:29:56.660That's what they made Saving Private Ryan about, if you remember.
00:30:00.660But the Big Red One was also there at Omaha.
00:30:03.660And a Colonel Taylor, who's at the Assault Brigade.
00:30:07.660They were caught up underneath, I guess this culvert, I guess it was called.
00:30:13.660It was kind of, it was a concrete with reinforced steel rebar.
00:30:21.660Omaha Beach, and remember, and I think it's McManus that says, and I've always said this, Omaha Beach in D-Day is better known than it is understood.
00:30:39.660Well, I was at the slaughterhouse in the time they had, remember, Eisenhower was only chosen to be the command leader, I think, in January.
00:31:33.660If you haven't been to Omaha Beach, if you ever get a chance to go, and I'd recommend going sometime that's not around the 6th of June where the big commemoration is.
00:31:42.660They had to go and, you know, go to Pointe du Hoc on the cliff overlooking it and then go and go on the beach and see what they had to go up against and then go to the cemetery at the end where, I don't know, 10,000, 10,000 graves, I think, at least.
00:31:58.660But Colonel Taylor, when they were pinned down and they got to the beach and these young boys, essentially, most with very little combat training, these had not, most of these folks had not fought in North Africa.
00:32:11.660The vast majority of them, they had some of the leaders, non-commissioned officers, some of the, some of the leaders had fought in North Africa, had fought in Sicily, because that's really where the army had gotten trained.
00:32:22.660When they're pinned down and getting slaughtered, Taylor was going to, Colonel Taylor went up and down and said, hey, there's only two types of people on this beach.
00:32:33.680Those are dead and those are going to die.
00:32:41.920Implication, if you want to live, you got to go forward.
00:32:50.980You've taken, you're the landing team.
00:32:53.620With Trump as your field general, you're now a beachhead team.
00:32:57.920We've landed and you've got a beachhead.
00:33:01.600Into the imperial capital, into the deep state, into the administrative state, into the minds of the Morning Joes and the official apparatus.
00:35:44.380Let's start a new golden age of America.
00:35:48.060Yes, that golden age is upon us if we do our part and we deliver.
00:35:59.300Now, what does that mean in practicality?
00:36:06.800Because right now what they're focused on is the J-6 pardons and the J-6 prisoners because they want to build up things.
00:36:13.900Like Trump's an autocrat and this is all – he's got these oligarchs and he's an autocrat and he's letting out the brown shirts and the brown shirts are going to organize again.
00:36:21.220He's got street dogs and go ahead and do it.
00:36:23.500Of course it's all a lie because that's all they do is lie.
00:36:40.680And why they signal that to me every day, not noise but signal, because they just pardoned the committee that are all criminals and their staffs are criminals.
00:36:54.820Now, I'm trying to get Tom fit enough.
00:36:57.500Can't get him strong again this afternoon.
00:36:58.720He's saying the pardons – their pardons are worthless.
00:38:40.740The central point in taking your sovereignty back, that's part of it.
00:38:46.560But the more importantly is your sovereignty, your territorial integrity, the self-determination of your people is obviously immigration or part of its immigration, the border, all of it.
00:38:57.860And you've got – as Todd Benzman, I talked to him earlier this morning, started going through things in the executive orders.
00:39:20.180One of the reasons is they're not totally in place to have their deportation porn, which they're going to have.
00:39:30.560They're just getting their sea legs on that.
00:39:32.900The reason they didn't lead the shows today with immigration and the border and the CP1 being shut off and all that, the American people support it.
00:39:41.840In closing of the crossing in El Paso and many, many other things, deployment of the military, ultimately the National Guard.
00:40:11.840But let's bring up something in addition.
00:40:20.860We've had moral clarity, and we've had clarity about what we had to do in this.
00:40:26.500Go back in time through the primaries when they put up all the established order, threw up all kind of candidates, and some had, you know, came at it from let's get rid of the wog.
00:40:56.420Fox, for two years, then really a third, pushed an alternative, tried to ram DeSantis and then Nikki Haley, and had Yunkin in the background, a couple, three others that could nurture.
00:41:31.300Should have pulled out, but they didn't.
00:41:32.760Then you had Nikki Haley, and she took it all the way to the bitter end to kind of get that corpus of the 15 to 20 percent that said, I'm never Trump.
00:46:44.080The thing of Scott, of prepping for a thing, was just say, hey, you know more about finance and capital markets than all the Democrats combined to the 10th power.
00:46:55.000And just be kind like you are and be accessible like you are.
00:46:58.500And when one steps up, like Ryan Wyden, right out of the box, and mouths the insanity, he and Bernie Sanders, all the insanity that they talk about that makes no sense,
00:47:11.180that the Democrats and the Bernie bros have all bought into, and that's why you're nowhere.
00:47:16.620And this is why Fetterman's going to flip to become a Republican.
00:47:19.520Yeah, if he flips, it's because of his very reason he realizes there's no there there on thinking of populism on the Democratic side.
00:47:28.740And, Scott, all you've got to do is school one, and the rest will shut up.
00:48:34.000You want to get to the sunlit uplands.
00:48:36.500We've got to get through the barricades.
00:48:38.100We've got to breach the seawall that's in front of us.
00:48:42.660Then we've got to pour up in the back of that seawall.
00:48:44.720We've got to breach the wall, and then we've got to push through the breach.
00:48:49.320And that's what these next couple of weeks or months are, whether it's on the border, whether it's J6, whether it's taxes, whether it's economic policy, whether it's debt, whether it's getting out of Ukraine.
00:49:00.740On every vertical we've laid out, you are at the forefront of that.
00:49:05.220You're at the vanguard of America, first thing, the practicality of politics, of how one organizes.
00:51:03.760And then by the afternoon, when he's signing the executive orders, not just on Capitol Hill, when he goes to the Capitol Senate, signs the executive orders and then holds the best for last.
00:51:14.340To go to the Oval Office, which just, it just, it's so, it's so enraged them to see him there.
00:52:14.540That's what separates out Americans from everybody else.
00:52:18.580Do you have the grit, the determination, the steeliness, the decency?
00:52:24.980That's what Tom Wolfe was writing about, the Mercury astronauts who had been the test pilots and fighter pilots in World War II and thereafter.
