1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: So, as you know, it is an inauguration day and

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: about well, actually very shortly. I think Donald Trump will

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: take the oath of office and become the forty seventh

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: president of the United States. It's the first time since

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety three year president has been sworn in for

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: a second non consecutive term, the last being Grover Cleveland.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Real Clear Political Politics senior election analyst Sean Trendy is

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: worth me now. Good morning, Sewan. Thank you so much

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: for being with.

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: Us, a thanks for having me.

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: How will President Trump's second term be different from his first?

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: I think the major difference is going to be that

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: this is not the ragtag band of people who didn't

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 2: expect to win in twenty sixteen. He has a much

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: more professionalized group behind him, and they expected to win,

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: so there's been planning. It's I think it's going to

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: be the same Trump, but we're going to see a

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: very different, more sophisticated administration.

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: How does knowing how Washington work change things.

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's more of the same. When he

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: came into office, he didn't really know how to navigate

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: the very different the various different pitfalls that can befall

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: a new president. And he didn't really have anyone on

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: his team that knew much about that. That's different this time.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: So again, I think a lot of his goals are

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: going to be the same. He's not going to be

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: someone that if he didn't like the first term, you're

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: going to like this time around. But I also think

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: it's going to be more a more effective administration the

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 2: term of achieving those goals.

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: And he's attempting to achieve quite a lot even on

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: his first day, isn't he.

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've already received news that he's issuing an executive

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: order ending what we call birthrights citizenship that if you're

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: born in the United States, you know, even to people

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: in the country illegally considered a citizen. That's flying in

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: the face of one hundred and thirty years as Supreme

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: Court precedent. But he's definitely hitting the ground running this time.

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: We've seen a shift in Trump's close team. What do

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: they bring to this presidency?

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think I think we have, like

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: I said, a more serious and more experienced group of people.

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: You know, I think we were called back to twenty

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: sixteen where he needed a Secretary of State and he

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: for some reason put the president oil in that position,

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: and now you have Marco Rubio, who's a very different

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: member of that team. So I think, you know, it's

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: a different, different approach this.

49
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: Time around, and a bit of a different inauguration ceremony

50
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: taking place this morning as well.

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's something that has some people kind of

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: scratching their heads a little bit. You know, it is

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: going to be cold, but it's not going to be

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: historically cold, but he's moved it inside. There's been some

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: speculation that some of this is due to security risks.

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: You know, he did have the two assassination attempts on him.

57
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's going to be a more sedate inauguration

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: this time around. At least we won't be fighting about

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: crowd sizes this time.

60
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Well, there wasn't. There was sort of a few comments

61
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: that maybe that's what he was concerned about as to

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: why he moved it inside. Is that fair?

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that he was a little

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: bit concerned about the crowd sizes, that people wouldn't show

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: up if it was cold, that he would get negative

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: comparisons to Barack Obama, who you know, was really cold

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: when he has inaugurated and he filled them all. Look,

68
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: I prefer this to what we had in twenty sixteen,

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: when the first thing he did was send his press

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: secretary out to lie about the crowd sizes. You know,

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, as long as

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: his hands on the book and he recites the oath

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: of office, he is president.

74
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Sean, are we seeing more celebration around this inaugurration? I

75
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: see that an idolor so ago, you know, who's who

76
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: of Silicon Valley was in Washington, DC celebrating at a party.

77
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's been a little bit of a

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: vibe shift, as we say here in the states are

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: surrounding the Silicon Valley. They seem to have moved rightward

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: over the course of the past decade. I also think,

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: you know, he won the most votes this time around,

82
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: unlike twenty sixteen, and so I think there's just a

83
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: general sense of legitimacy about this presidency that there wasn't

84
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen and is showing up in who supports

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: it and how they support it.

86
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Sean Trendy, thank you so much for your time this morning.
