Thank you for listening to Depictions Media Radio.
Welcome to policy and rights. We show welco, welcomer policy, human Joy.
Welcome back to policy and rights. Here in Depictions Media Radio, I'm your hosts Michael clogges.
Well.
Donald Trump has been inaugurated back into office, and in his speech shortly after his inauguration, he announced his intentions to and how he is going to make America great again. That he is going to take back the Panama Canal because of course China controls it, and that he is going to put troops along the Mexican border to protect the United States from Mexico. He is enacting a policy
to keep Mexico in Mexico. That he is going to round up and deport all of the criminals that have come across the border illegally, and he is going to do other other things that may see may seem small but actually translate into bigger intentions, such as saying that there are only two genders in the in the US
now only male and female. Then that can translate into the loss of trans rights lgbt Q rights that have been long fought for, and we've already seen how the Republicans using the Supreme Court overturned roversus weighed thus and thus so uh, limiting the rights of women to healthcare, and then then of course also confusing the issues by saying that it was solely about abortion when Roe versus
Weight had very little to do with abortion. There are other things that he has gone after that, in things that he is going to create, such as the External Revenue Service, which is going to collect the terrriffs and the taxes that are supposed to be placed on important goods into the United States. That he is going to overturn green policies so that he can drove oil. He
said it himself, We're going to drill, baby, drill. That he is going to put an end to some of the federal programs that were put in place for electric cars. He's going to put an end to them so that we all can drive the car of our choice. Well, some things aren't seemingly so bad being able to choose. Hey, do I want a gas car, Do I want a hybrid car? Or do I want an electric car? They seemingly aren't so bad. It is it is what lies
beyond that. What is the next thing that he is going to take apart such as he is going to take a part of the public healthcare system, which those outside the US they see that there is that there isn't any central government controlled healthcare system. But if you ever have, for instance, a sick baby from the time of birth, that there is a program and there are social workers to help you pay millions of dollars in healthcare costs to hospitals and doctors so that you aren't
going to go broke. There are ways in in the US that the different systems that help help keep people healthy, and it's just you have to know, have to get involved with different social workers and things to be able
to find them. Here. There's a lot of things that he is threatening, a lot of things that he says he's going to do that on the surface seem very benigne and hey, well why not, right, and then until you look deeper into the policies at hand and discover more much deeper intentions that could cause oppression to people not only in the United States but around the world, such as how is he going to take the Panama Canal back? Such as how is he going to make a message to the in the Middle East? How is
he going to do that? How is he going to going to stop money going to protect farm borders and PU and how much is he going to spend on protecting a single US border between Mexico and the United States. There's a lot that is going to happen. How is the softwood industry in British Columbia, the oil and gas industry in Alberta going to be affected by his statements of drill baby drill and using only US resources for UH for future projects, and even the external revenue service
that will collect the tariffs. How is that going to affect everyone else around the United States. He is claiming he is going to make America rich again, that he is going to make the citizens of the United States the richest people on the planet. He is making these claims, but he also made a statement about the LA fires, saying that how things were mishandled and that there were people in the room, the rich people in the room who lost a house in the LA fires, the wildfires,
and how their homes should have been protected. What about the working class people who won't have insurance, they don't have bank accounts to rebuild. What is going to happen to their homes? What about them? It's the people that he isn't talking about in some of these statements that makes you wonder what his real intentions are. So you've already listened to some of the inauguration and you heard
it yesterday. We're going to play some of the highlights of that again Donald Trump's speeches and take a good listen to what he is saying, and maybe come try to decide for yourself what his intentions are and what it is that we should be looking out for, both the good and the bad. So why don't we move forward and we're going to listen to his acceptance speech for the inauguration for him to become the forty seventh President of the United States of America.
Please welcome the Chairwoman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the Honorable Amy Clovishar.
Good morning, everyone, Welcome to the sixtieth presidential inauguration. Today, President elect Trump and Vice President elect Vance will take their o's of office, and we will witness the peaceful transfer of power at the art of our democracy. For the past year, I've chaired the Inaugural Ceremony Committee, which includes the leadership of Congress from both parties. We thank the Committee and Capital staff and law enforcement who worked so hard over the last year and especially the last
three days. You've done a beautiful job, and you have shown grace under pressure. Our theme this year is our enduring democracy. The presidence of so many presidents and vice presidents here today is truly a testament to that endurance. We welcome President Biden and Doctor Biden. We welcome Vice President Harris and Doug Elmahoff, President Obama, President Clinton and Secretary Clinton, President Bush and Laura Bush, Vice President Pence,
Vice President Quail, and Maryland Quail. The Justices of the United States Supreme Court are with us, all nine of them I counted, and of course the Trump advance families. This ceremony marks what will soon be two hundred and fifty years of our democracy.
It is the moment when leaders.
Elevated by the will of the people, promise to be faithful to our constitution, to cherish and defend it. It is the moment when they become, as we all should be, the guardians of our country through war and peace, through
adversity and prosperity. We hold this inauguration every four years, and today it falls on Martin Luther King Day, a further reminder that we must strive to uphold the value 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. But what makes this moment more than a passing ceremony is all who are watching it across the country, the people of this nation, the ordinary
people doing extraordinary things. President 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. Every one of us is in a position of responsibility. With that responsibility of citizenship comes in obligation not to seek out malice, as President Lincoln once reminded us, but to view others with a generosity of spirit despite our differences.
With that responsibility of leadership comes an obligation to stand our ground when we must, and find common ground when we can. With 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. There's a reason this ceremony takes place at the capitol.
In other countries it.
Might be in a presidential palace or a gilded executive office building. Here, it is traditionally held at the Capitol, the people's house. It is a fitting reminder of the system of checks and balances that is the very foundation of our government. Three will branches of government. That is how for nearly two hundred and fifty years, our great American experiment, grounded in.
The rule of law, has endured.
So as we inaugurate a new president and vice president, let us remember that the power of those in.
This room comes from the people.
The construction workers who build our country, the teachers and healthcare workers who nurture us, the troops defending our freedoms, and yes, the firefighters in Los Angeles putting themselves on the line for us. Our democracy's strength and grit must match theirs.
May God bless our nation. Thank you, good afternoon.
Endurance through the years is the ultimate test. To persevere through time is the truest measure of an idea, an institution.
And a nation.
Our founders wrote the Constitution so that America could withstand all the twists and turns of time. They wrote it to guide us and to preserve forever our right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But 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. That's the beauty, that is the importance of democracy. It allows the endurance the permanence of
a nation through change. It allows nations like our United States, both to avoid the obstacles and to seize the opportunities God has placed before us, always staying true to our founding principles. Today is our country's sixtieth inauguration ceremony. Like all the others before it, it is a celebration of our right to set our uniquely American course.
The 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.
In November, Americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness, the secure, safe, and prosperous future that our founders envisioned for all of us, and today we celebrate not only their decision to do so, but also the simple right and wisdom of a free people to make their own choice.
So that their nation might endure.
And now allow me to welcome Archbishop Timothy Dolan and Reverend Franklin Graham, who will deliver our invocation.
Please rise, be still.
And know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme on the earth. Let us pray, remembering 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. Remembering General George Patten'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. Observing the birthday of the Reverend Luther King, who warned, without God, our efforts turned to ashes. We 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, his 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. We cannot air in relying upon that prayer from the Bible upon which our president will soon place his hand, an oath as we make our own the supplications of King Solomon, for wisdom as he began his governance, God of our fathers, in your wisdom, Man, to govern your creatures, to govern and holiness and justice, to render justice with integrity. Give our leader wisdom, for he is your servant, aware of his own weakness and
brevity of life. If wisdom, which comes not from You be not with him, he shall be held.
In no esteem.
Sin Wisdom from heavens, that she may be with him, that he may know your designs. Please, God, bless America, Please mend her every flaw. You are the God in whom we trust, who lives and reigns forever and ever, Amen.
Mister President. The last four years, there are times I'm sure you thought it was pretty dark, But look what God is done, we praise him and give him glory.
Let us pray.
Our Father and our God that has said, blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. As the prophet Daniel prayed, blessed be the name of God forever and ever for wisdom and mightter his He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, he raises up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding our Father. Today, as President Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office once again, we come
to say thank you, o Lord, our god father. 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 by your mighty hand. We pray for President Trump that you'll watch over, protect, guide, direct him, give him your wisdom from your throne on high. We asked that you would bless him and that our nation would be blessed through him. We also asked that you
would bless and protect Milagnia as first lady. We thank you for the beauty, the warmth, and grace that she shows not only to this nation, but to the whole world. We thank you for Vice President elect JD. Vance and his wife Ushah and their young family. May he be a strength to President Trump to stand beside him, to hold up his arms like Aaron held up arms of Moses.
In the midst of battle, the prophet Samuel reminded the people it was you that brought them up from the land of Egypt, and he said, now stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord. So, Father, we take this moment to stand still, to remember the great things that you have done for this nation. Thank you for the protection, the bounty, the freedoms that we so enjoy. We remembered to keep our eyes fixed on you,
and may our hearts be inclined to your voice. We know that America can never be great again if we turn our backs on you. We 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.

Us.
It is my honor and pleasure to introduce to you the forty fifth and the forty seventh President of the United States of America, Donald J.
Trump.
Thank you, Thank you very much. Everybody, well, thank you very very much.
Vice 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. The Golden Age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be
taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very.
Simply put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end, and our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before. I return to the Presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of
national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. But first we must be honest about the challenges. While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing.
In the United States of America, as.
We gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. For 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 incomplete disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a
continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect our magnificent law abidying American citizens, but provide sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world. We 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. Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina been treated so badly and 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 from 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. They don't have a home any longer. That's interesting, but we can't let this happen. Everyone is able to do anything about it.
That's going to change.
We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country.
Anywhere in the world, and we have an.
Education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately.
To provide to them.
All of this will change starting today, and it will change very quickly. My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and 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. From this moment on, America's decline is over. Our 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. Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our two hundred and fifty year history, and I've.
Learned a lot along the way.
The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one.
That I can tell you.
Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life. Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania yield an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again. That is why each day, under our administration of American Patriots, we will be working to
meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
For American citizens.
January twentieth, twenty twenty five, is Liberation Day. It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country. As 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 had a.
Powerful win in all seven swing states and the popular vote we won by millions of people.
To 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. We set records, and I will not forget it. I've heard your voices and the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in.
The years to come. Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor. This will be a great honor.
But in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true. National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and pride is soaring like never before. In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success. We will not forget our country, We will not forget our constitution, and we will not forget our God.
Can't do that.
Today I will sign a series of historic executive orders. With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense.
It's all about common sense.
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
All illegal entry.
Will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. We will reinstate my remain in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch and release, and I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.
Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terroristications, and by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight, 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 bringing devastating crime to US soil, including our cities and inner cities.
As 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. We will do it at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Next, I will direct all members of my Cabinet to marshall the vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring
down costs and prices. The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency.
We will drill, baby drill.
America will be a manufacturing nation 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. Let me use it.
We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top, and export American energy all over the world. We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it. With 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 American autoworkers. In other words, you'll be able to buy the car of your choice.
We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a.
Few years ago. And thank you to the.
Auto workers of our nation for your inspiring vote of confidence. We did tremendously with their vote. I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties.
And revenues.
It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury coming from foreign sources. The American dream will soon be back and thriving like never before. To restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government, my administration will establish the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
After years and years of illegal.
And unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents something I know something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again.
Under my leadership. We will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law, and we are going to bring law and order back to our cities.
This week.
I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. We will forge a society that is color blind and merit based.
As of today.
It will henceforth be the official policy of the United States Government that there are only two genders, male and female.
This week, I.
Will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain, and I will sign in order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty.
It's going to end immediately.
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their soul mission defeating America's enemies. Like in twenty seventeen, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen. We 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. My proudest legacy will be that of a peace maker and unifier. That's what I want to be, a peacemaker
and a unifier. I'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.
Thank you.
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the.
Awe and admiration of the entire world.
A 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 Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs. President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and through talent. He was a natural businessman and 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. The United States I've been thinking of this, spent more money than ever spent on a project before, and lost thirty eight thousand lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made, and Panama's promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been
totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama and we didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back. Above 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.
So as we.
Liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights of victory and success.
We will not be deterred. Together, we will end the.
Chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease free. The 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. And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars. Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation, and right now our
nation is more ambitious than any other. There is no nation like our nation. Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneers. The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts.
The call of the.
Next great adventure resounds from within our souls. Our 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. No one comes close. Americans pushed thousands of miles through a rugged land of untamed wilderness.
They crossed desert, 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 put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do, and no dream we cannot achieve. Many people thought it was imp possible for
me to stage such a historic political comeback. But as you see today here I am the American people have spoken.
I stand before you now as.
Proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do in America.
The impossible is what we do best.
From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami from Houston to right here in Washington, d c. Our country was forged and built by the generation of patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.
They were farmers and soldiers.
Cowboys and factory workers, steelworkers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward, marched forward, and let no obstacle defeat.
Their spirit or their pride. Together they laid down the railroads.
Raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two World Wars, defeated fascism and communism in triumphed over every single challenge that they faced. After all we have been through together, we stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history. With your help, we will restore America, promise, and we will rebuild the nation that we love, and we love it so much. We are one people, one family,
and one glorious nation under God. So 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. We are going to win like never before. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly, but we are going to bring it back and make it great again, Greater than ever before. We will be a nation like no other, full of compassion, courage,
and exceptionalism. Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally unpredictable. Will be respected again and admired again, including by people of religion, faith, and goodwill. We will be prosperous, we will be proud, we will be strong, and we will win like never before. We will not be conquered, we will not be intimidated, we will not be broken, and we will not fail. From this day on, the United States of America will be
a free, sovereign and independent nation. We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The futures ours and our golden Age has just begun. Thank you, God, bless America. Thank you all, Thank you, thank you very much, Thank you very much.
