1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: He's back, baby. Donald Trump has become the forty seventh

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: president of the United States. The seventy eight year old

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: took office for the second time in the last hour.

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: Under the orders I signed today, we will also be

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: designating the Cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

6
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: He had a lot to say in his addressed to

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: the American people, and Amberduk is with us the Spectators

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Washington editor in DC to break down exactly what he said. Amber,

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm great to have you on. So you're going to Mars,

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: renaming the Gulf of Mexico. What else did we get

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: out of this speech?

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: Well, look, it was a very policy forward speech, which

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: is pretty atypical for an inauguration speech. Typically, and the

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: new president will lay out sort of his vision for America.

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: He will usually offer some more generic platitudes, so to speak,

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: about how he views the country and what he hopes

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 3: to achieve in the next four years. But Trump was

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: very explicit about his plans. He promised to on day

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: one reintroduce policies like remain in Mexico on the border,

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: declaring a state of emergency, declaring the Cartels a foreign

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: terrorist organization, as well as ending pets and release policies

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: and also promising to unleash American energy, as he puts it, Drill, Baby, Drill,

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: And then on questions of culture, talking about an executive

24
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: order he plans to sign that would essentially enshrine biological

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: reality of male versus female to prevent transgender ideology from

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: being entrenched in the federal government. So it was really

27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: a historical his speech really in just how detailed and

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: specific he got about his policy priorities on his first

29
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: day in office.

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: And I guess that's an indication of just how he's

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: not here to waste time, He's not here to mac around.

32
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: He's getting stuck in from day dot right. But what

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: about the declaring a national emergency at the southern border,

34
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: what exactly does that mean?

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: Well, that will allow him to mobilize military forces if needed,

36
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: to go down to the southern border and assist customs

37
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: in border patrol as well as immigrations and custom enforcement

38
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: with a combination of border security and carrying out his

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: mass deportation plans.

40
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, obviously, we're saying farewell to him. And in

41
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours did they talk publicly together,

42
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: Was there any indication of the relationship today.

43
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: They did not speak publicly together today, although both seem

44
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: to be in good spirits. Joe Biden in the past

45
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: has said that he had a good conversation with Trump

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 3: after his election back in November, and that he sent

47
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: him a letter talking to him about what he has

48
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: done in office and what he hopes Trump will do,

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: But he did not give any specifics about what was

50
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: actually in that letter. But what was most interesting about

51
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Biden's final hours in office is that he decided to

52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: sign multiple sweeping pardons, some of who some of which

53
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: were for individuals that he believes Trump would potentially, in

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: his words, weaponize the Department of Justice against, including Liz

55
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: Cheney and Anthony Fauci, and then also provided pardons for

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: several of his family members, including James Biden, who has

57
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: been accused of being involved in corrupt business practices with

58
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: his son Hunter.

59
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Which is that not an indication? I mean, he got

60
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: so much flax for doing Hunter, and then he turns

61
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: around in the last gasps of his presidency and preemptively

62
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: patterns his brothers and sisters. Does that not imply that

63
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: they did do something wrong?

64
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: It does imply that, And that's really the problem is

65
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: that Biden has simultaneously given more fodder for critics of

66
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: his family's business practice is while also basically giving a

67
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: free pass to Trump to pardon whoever he thinks appropriate.

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of criticism of which January six

69
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: participants Trump might pardon, and his allies are now going

70
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: to take Biden's decision to pardon his family members as

71
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: a free reign to pardon every single January sixth participant,

72
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: whether violent or nonviolent, because the line has been crossed.

73
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: And but just finally, Trump said he's going to rename

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America Denali. He's

75
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: going to rename to McKinley. Can he actually do that?

76
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: Does he can? He just redrule the met, rewrite the MET.

77
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 3: I believe he can do it for Denali or Mount McKinley,

78
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: But the Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America would

79
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 3: obviously have to be accepted by Mexico as well, So

80
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: we could end up with a situation where you have

81
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: different countries calling it different things. But you know that

82
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't be the first time that's and there's certainly other

83
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: places around the world where countries called them different things.

84
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: So but we'll see what happens.

85
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: And but thank you very much for that excellent reporting.
