Join us as we explore an unforgettable moment in history where commitment to American strength and sovereignty takes center stage. From critiques over the swearing-in ceremony to compelling orations about America’s future, this episode unpacks the optimism and drama of Trump’s return as leader. Mike Deller, from the Relief Factor Studios, adds depth to every key moment, making this a must-listen for anyone following the unfolding story of America’s renewal.
SPEAKER 06 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor studios, here’s Mike Deller.
SPEAKER 07 :
I have a framed cover of the New York Post on my studio wall. It has a picture of Donald Trump with his fist in the air. It says, Trump shot. Bloodied but unbowed, ex-president survives assassination attempt. Now I want to add another New York Post cover image. To my wall, I want to put today’s cover under the framed cover of the New York Post that says Trump shot. And today’s cover, Donald Trump, 45th and 47th president, vows, and in big, bold letters, golden age of America. And it’s a big picture of the swearing-in ceremony that, incidentally, Chief Justice Roberts botched. He rushed it, didn’t give Melania time to stand by her husband’s side. And as a result, he didn’t have his hand on the Bibles that she was to hold because John Roberts screwed up another swearing-in. He messed up the Obama inauguration, too, the swearing-in ceremony. They had to redo it. Remember they had to do a do-over because John Roberts couldn’t read the few words that were on the paper correctly? Well, this time he rushed it, and so Melania and the kids couldn’t be at their husband and dad’s side fast enough, and she didn’t have time to hold the Bibles up, leading to this whole plethora of conspiracy theories going about why he didn’t have his hand on the Bible. You can thank John Roberts once again. Big dummy. Anyway, here we go. The golden age begins. And I’m going to get that framed. The golden age of America. Below Trump’s shot. What a year. And what a time to be alive. It’s like we’ve got to pinch ourselves. Is this really all happening? His day yesterday, look, I got a little tired for a quick trip to Washington, D.C. How this man does what he does, 42 executive orders and memos and proclamations, 115 personnel actions, over 200 executive actions, 60 minutes of press questions and answers, and three historic speeches, not to mention dancing with his wife at the Commander-in-Chief Ball. and having a giant sword to cut the cake with, and singing and dancing to the YMCA from the village people. My gosh. Yesterday he announced to the nation that we are a nation that will be proud again, that will be prosperous again, that will be free again.
SPEAKER 05 :
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.
SPEAKER 07 :
I couldn’t get enough of the images of Kamala and Joe and Hillary and Bill and Barack all sitting there. having to endure his promise to fix the mess that they created. It was amazing. It was astounding, actually. It was like a hostage video. They were held hostage. They’re in that room, having to listen to him say, I’ve basically inherited a dumpster fire, and here I am to put it out. And the fire was ignited by the horrific policies of these Democrats. My gosh. What a time to be alive. And one of the things, here’s the first meltdown of the golden age. The meltdown is the executive order that Trump signed that would end birthright citizenship. You know what birthright, you’re born here, you’re guaranteed citizenship. And what has happened is Thousands and thousands, maybe millions of illegal immigrants have endangered their children’s lives, packing them up and sneaking into America by hoping to give birth while in illegal on American soil so that their child can be guaranteed American citizenship. And I was so fascinated by the way Axios characterizes this. This is the legacy media for you. And let me share with you how they portray it. And then let me give you the common sense people’s president’s assessment of this. Headline. Trump, this is from Axios today. Trump signs executive order attacking birthright citizenship guaranteed by the Constitution. Oh, no. He’s shredding the Constitution on day one? How can this be? Well, Axios explains in its own article that the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, was passed, you know why? Not to protect illegals who want to sneak into the United States over the border and give birth on American soil. No. No. The 14th Amendment was passed to give emancipated and formerly enslaved black Americans citizenship. Blacks weren’t allowed to be citizens. And in 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed to guarantee that they will be. It didn’t apply to people sneaking into this country and giving birth on American soil. Now, let me read some more from Axios. Why it matters. Trump is acting on a once fringe belief that U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants have no right to U.S. citizenship. Now, let me repeat that to you. Axios, a legacy mainstream media outlet inside the Beltway, claims that Trump is acting on on a fringe belief. It was once the fringe. In other words, we’re all wacky to believe that U.S.-born children of illegals don’t have a right to U.S. citizenship. Okay, let’s dive in. Let’s answer it. I want to turn to you. 800-655-MIKE. Do you think… I’ll use Axios’ phrase. Do you believe that U.S.-born children of illegals have a right to U.S. citizenship under the 14th Amendment? Knowing that the 14th Amendment was passed… to give the newly emancipated slaves their citizenship. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. One phone number does it all.

SPEAKER 08 :
Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 07 :
What was your highlight of your executive order?
SPEAKER 02 :
I think the birthright citizenship, Jesse, was huge. There’s going to be an immediate lawsuit filed against that because, of course, there’s a constitutional provision about birthright citizenship that the court has not resolved. But most constitutional scholars believe the Constitution requires it. There is an interesting debate that you can actually, an argument that you can make for President Trump’s position on this. It’s obviously ludicrous. That was good. The J6 pardons.
SPEAKER 07 :
What did he do there? Let’s talk about, and she’s a lawyer and I’m not, and I don’t pretend to play one on TV. But if the Constitution, if the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was intended to give emancipated slaves citizenship… Tell me how that has anything to do with swimming across the Rio Grande, plopping yourself in Houston or Galveston or Greenville, South Carolina, having a baby, and then clinging to the 14th Amendment as the reason to ensure that that baby is a citizen. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Again, I’m no lawyer. I can’t imagine that there’s a debate. Let them sue. And if they’re going to sue over Trump’s executive order regarding birthright citizenship, who gets to sue Joe Biden over his last-minute preemptive pardons of scoundrels? How does that work? Can anybody sue? It’s wrong. It’s absolutely wrong. And I like where we’re headed. Henry’s in Tampa, Florida, 23 past the hour. Hello, Henry. Welcome to the golden age of America, huh? Yeah. How are you feeling?
SPEAKER 04 :
Great. I’m feeling great today. Good. Me too. Let’s everybody read the second part of that sentence in the paragraph. It’s paraphrasing. It’s something in the effective. that those people who have birthright sentences must be under the control of the government. And if you are a foreigner… into this person, even if you do something wrong, including birth, it has to be reported to the embassy of that person.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, let me read. I’ll read the 14th Amendment in total here in just a moment. I want to also share a text from New York that I just received on the MyPillow text line that makes a lot of sense, too. And again, this is perfect. Very important point. hopefully the change in birthright citizenship will reduce the number of deliveries in the United States hospitals. These people, many of them have no insurance. Well, how would you have insurance if you’re an illegal immigrant and you’re living here illegally? You think you have health insurance? As the texter writes, they just want the social security number and access to our system. Then many go back to their home country as they’re not here with proper long-term documents. They now have a child of U.S. citizenship. The health care system is broken thanks in large measure… to the many illegals and births from those who come into our country just for the benefit. They can’t be refused services. That’s the point. That’s the whole point. And Axios, oh, this is attacking something guaranteed by the Constitution. Trump is acting on a fringe belief. that U.S.-born children have no right to citizenship, and they’re part of a big conspiracy that’s racist to replace white Americans. Oh, yeah, the great replacement theory. That’s back now, according to Axios and all these lunatics who are losing their marbles over Trump with a common-sense perspective. “…all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” says Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, “…are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process.” nor denied any person within its jurisdiction the equal protections of the laws. And, you know, there are multiple sections to the 14th Amendment. But again, according to Axios, I’m going by the legacy guys and gals, this was put into place in our Constitution to ensure that slaves could be citizens. So, look, good for Trump. We’ve got to do a lot of YMCA today, Eric. You got a YMCA? Let’s pop that in there. How about Trump dancing to YMCA as he was cutting the cake, this giant cake, at the Commander-in-Chief ball last night? Oh, my gosh. Somebody posted today on social media, I went to bed with that image in my mind, and I woke up with that in my mind. Me too. It’s a golden age, and it’s here, and doesn’t it feel great?

SPEAKER 06 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Geller.
SPEAKER 07 :
I didn’t think I could get any happier with the last 24, 48 hours. I just saw a story about an ex-Obama official, Jay Johnson. Remember him? The former Homeland Security Secretary under Barack Obama? He told Morning Joe today on MSNBC that he expected mass resignations from the Justice Department following Trump’s pardoning of 1,500 January 6 offenders. Does that make you as happy as it makes me? Good. Good. Clean them out. I hope they all quit. Do a big churn. Do a complete reset at the DOJ. This guy said it like it was a bad thing. Now, as you know, one of the big crises apparently with the mainstream media. is that Trump pardoned approximately 1,500. Actually, as I understand, there were commutations. There were some pardons. There were commutations. Let’s let the actual signing, as he’s sitting in the Oval Office, hanging out with Peter Doocy. Peter Doocy has died and gone to heaven. No more will Peter Doocy have to fight with Binder’s Pierre anymore. And he was owning that press event in the Oval Office last night. Peter Doocy was asking every other question. It’s like they were old pals. Peter Doocy can’t believe his good fortune that Trump is back in the White House and Peter Doocy stays on the beat. And they’re just chatting away. Trump, I can’t stop laughing. He kept signing an executive order. Oh, what’s this one? Mr. President, this is 1.653, ending birthright citizenship. Oh, yeah, that’s a good one. That’s a good one. Let me sign that. Hey, Peter, what do you have next? And they’re just talking. And you can hear the sound of the Sharpie on the document while he’s talking. Can you picture Biden trying to do that? He’d slump over. He would just fall back over his chair. Kamala would just giggle. She would just cackle uncontrollably. She couldn’t do that. Trump’s day yesterday was a masterpiece. Up at 6 or 7 in the morning, executive orders, three major speeches. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. How about him dancing in the Trump dance to YMCA while swinging around a sword that he used to cut the giant cake at the Commander-in-Chief ball. I mean, in fact, I got to put you in a good mood. We got to play it for you. Good day for you to be watching the show. We got a lot of new listeners, too, on radio stations all over the country. I got emotional last night thinking about 2024. You know, I know that our return to News Talk 98.9 WORD in South Carolina is kind of an inside baseball thing. I mean, look, if you’re in Hawaii, you don’t care where you hear the show, right? But if I had to tell you where my home was, and I’ve had many homes in my life, Ohio, South Carolina, New York, Now Florida. But South Carolina, the upstate, is really home for me. And everybody there who I know and love, they know it. That’s my home. I’m sure it’s where I’ll retire. I just love that community. And due to a series of events, we were on that station, and then the company I worked for bought another station. They took me off the station, much to my dismay. And we were on the other station for eight or nine years. And then the company I worked for sold the radio station. And so we were just praying that we could go back to WORD. And we did. And I think everybody’s happy. It feels like the management there and the team and great hosts. I mean, Tara. Tara is incredible. She’s so smart. Charlie James is wonderful. Bill Frady is a terrific host. And look, that was back in May. And I remember thinking, if we get the chance to go back to News Talk 98.9 WORD, this powerhouse station, And we lose the election, how awful that would be. So the election victory that Republicans experienced was icing on the cake. I mean, I know it’s way more important than what station I’m on. But for me to be back home again. I did. I got emotional. I shed some tears because I thought how lucky I am, how blessed I am, and how grateful I am. They didn’t have to bring me back. They just didn’t. They had to make some changes. They had a kind of a… Rhino guy. I don’t want to cast aspersions, but they made some great changes there. And having Joey Hudson with me on the station. Joey does an early morning show for them. He does a weekend show. And, of course, he was doing hits with Tara. I don’t know why they didn’t ask me. I guess Tara likes Joey more than me. There’s Joey in the car talking to Tara. And I thought, why can’t I talk to Tara? Anyway, it was just a real epic year for us. And I’m just so happy. I cannot contain my exuberance. And there was Trump. They presented President Trump and Vice President Vance with swords at this military inauguration. It’s called the Commander-in-Chief Ball. And one of the symbols, of course, they danced with their spouses for a little bit, and that was a great moment. They looked great. There’s Trump in his tux and Melania, oh my gosh, stunning in a black and white outfit that was, she didn’t have a hat on, thank goodness. You could see her beautiful face and Usha, the beautiful wife of J.D. Vance. It was just incredible. The day was, I can’t get over it. I feel like we’re dreaming. It’s just too, it’s too much. It’s too good. And so Trump takes the sword. They give him a sword for some reason to cut the cake because it’s a huge cake. And the YMCA theme comes on from the village people. So he starts doing the Trump dance while swinging the sword around. I mean, this is the president of the United States. You’ve never seen anything like this in your life. Can I share this with you, please? First of all, if you’re watching this on Salem News Channel, you’ll get it. I’m also going to send you back. We’ll send you back the clip on our MyPillow text line, too. So hit it, Christian. Let’s put everybody in a good mood. He’s got the sword in his right hand. He’s doing the dance. Melania’s laughing. Keep it going. And they’re all laughing, and Melania starts doing the dance, too. I’ve never seen her do it. Now, she does an elegant version. She doesn’t have the closed fists. She does an open-handed Trump dance, which is even better. Gosh, the joy really is back. Isn’t it fascinating to consider that Kamala attempted to manufacture a message of joy, and there was zero joy with that bunch. Nothing. There’s real joy here. And incidentally, if you want that video clip, which is sure to put a smile on your face, just text the letters YMCA to our MyPillow text line at 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453, and we’ll send you back the clip that is sure to put a smile on your face. Just text YMCA to 800-655-6453, and we will send you back… That glorious moment where Trump and Melania and J.D. and Usha are doing the Trump dance to YMCA while he’s swinging the sword around. I mean, that could have put somebody’s eye out. You could have had a real catastrophe out there. And nothing, nothing went wrong yesterday. It’s all incredible. So just text YMCA to 800-655-6453. We’ll send you back the clip. Standard text messaging rates may apply. Please never text and drive. And incidentally, many thanks to Mike Lindell and MyPillow. They sponsor this show.

Will all these changes hold? I mean, we’re giddy because of the first day of the Trump administration, the first full day. Is it going to stick? Here was Willie Geist over at MSNBC lamenting the fact that this must be who we are now as a nation.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think a lot of people woke up the morning after this election, after believing for almost a decade, like you say, Anand, that this is not who we are and said, I guess this is who we are.
SPEAKER 07 :
Isn’t that fascinating? People that, according to this NBC anchor, people thought what we are is an open border, lawless society that doesn’t follow any mores or standards, that rejects Faith, family, freedom. Burn cities down when a black guy is killed. I mean, an assault on every decent American. Willie Geist evidently thought that there were people who said, yep, that’s who we are. And then they woke up and they said, guess that’s not who we are. Well, that is not who we are. We don’t… Most Americans… as evidenced by the landslide election of Donald Trump, despite their best efforts to make it look like it was close. And it wasn’t close. How do you win every swing state? How do you win the way he won and pretend it was close? The popular vote? Newsflash? That’s not how we decide the outcome of elections. It was a landslide. So there is a mandate. And everything is changing. I mean, I’m broadcasting today from the Gulf of America. I’m on the Gulf of America now. Florida has become the first state to officially refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an emergency declaration ahead of a forecasted winter storm that might be affecting the Panhandle, I guess, and up in the northern part. I mean, it’s chilly here in Tampa Bay. But Trump issued an order to create names that honor American greatness. And one of them is changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I don’t think I’ll ever say it. It’s like I never call the Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan anything other than the Freedom Tower, despite the politically correct nudniks wanting to change that name. Well, now it’s the Gulf of America. I’ll never say Gulf of Mexico again. Now, let me ask you, are these changes going to be permanent? Is it as good as we think it is? Tell me what you think. 800-655-MIKE.

Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis, morning host on 660 AM The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 08 :
Welcome, my friend. Breathe deep. Take a deep breath. Does it feel different? Does it just feel different today, Mr. Mike?
SPEAKER 07 :
The image of Lisa cooking you a lunch and holding hands on the couch watching the inaugural ceremony has just warmed my heart. I would be nowhere else. I went to bed last night with the image of Trump waving a sword, dancing to YMCA as he cut the cake with J.D. Vance last night. And I woke up with that image in my mind. Burned into our brain. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. I mean, it feels like we’re in this wonderful, delicious dream that doesn’t feel real. I mean, in just 24 hours, the idea that this guy stood up there and just eviscerated the deep state in front of… Barack Obama and Joe Biden and Kamala, that speech, it was so perfect. It was so magnificent. And I couldn’t get enough of the facial expressions of all of these Democrats who were forced to sit there and listen to. I mean, it was like everything. felt better everything was vindicated everything all of the pain we felt over his horrific 34 felony convictions all of the anguish we felt over the assassination attempts all of the efforts to weaponize the justice department to make sure he didn’t get elected yeah All the media corruption, all the haters, all the lies they told about him over the years, everything they like. Everything came to fruition when he stood there at that podium yesterday and just ripped them apart in a in a in a really, you know, almost pleasant way. I mean, it was like, look, I’m not going to sit around here and do Kumbaya. They tried to they tried to destroy him, Mark. Why would he? Why would he stand there and say, OK, thanks for rifling through my wife’s underwear door. So now let’s be friends. He’s not going to do that. You know, he’s not going to do that, which makes the pardons that Biden came up with so egregious. Let me let me let’s start there together, Mark. I want to start with the pardons. Here’s a headline from The Hill. Adam Schiff. calls Trump’s January 6th pardons a grotesque display of power. Hey, Pencil Neck, you might want to sit down on this one because you got a preemptive pardon. That’s right. Now, look, here’s my attitude about his pardon of the 1,500 January 6ers. Mm-hmm. There’s about 1,500 of them, and all night long on Twitter, on X, and everywhere they were saying, oh, my, praise God, I’ve been pardoned. My record is cleared. I’ve got another friend. I’m coming out of jail tonight. My family’s coming to get me because they were releasing them last night. Okay. Biden decides he’s going to give Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci. Let’s start. Let’s do it. Look, Mark Milley. Yep. Mark Milley. Let’s do. And his own family. But let’s start with and he did that as a as a real blank you because he did it minutes before the inauguration ceremony, because at the last possible moment, because he knows how how his legacy has just been completed. Completely shattered. Whatever legacy he had left, it’s in the gutter now. I mean, there’s nothing left of the Biden legacy after these pardons. But let’s go tit for tat. Okay, you’re going to pardon Anthony Fauci if the allegation about Fauci is true. that he was absolutely involved and complicit in this Wuhan virus. He was complicit in the whole coronavirus scam. If he had any hand… in the horrific pandemic that destroyed this country and much of the world, okay? Put us on hold, everything else. I would say that’s a little more serious than even breaking a window at the Capitol. I would say it’s a lot more serious than even something that sickens me, but… Fighting with a police officer.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, rioting is bad. Let us stipulate that rioting is bad.
SPEAKER 07 :
No one’s going to do it. You’re not going to get the guy from Gallagher’s Heroes, the fallen officer fund, an argument about that. Rioting and assaulting cops is bad. A pandemic complicity is worse. Correct. If Tony Fauci can be pardoned for that, you know what? I am absolutely fine with pardoning every damn last one of them of January 6th. I’m sorry. That’s how I feel about it. Playtime is over. Party time is done. And these guys are – and to sit – and I got to say this about – did you see George W. Bush at the – the faces he was making? I did. Rolling his eyes and all the weird – and somebody apparently was able to lip read Obama. No, they weren’t.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, no, no, an actual lip reader. I think that’s a very inexact science. But anyway, go.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, it’s not that hard. But look, I don’t think look, look, I don’t think it’s nefarious. What did he supposedly write? He supposedly said, but it was a joke. It’s OK. But he said supposedly did Bush. Is there any way we can stop this from happening? Well, there you go.
SPEAKER 08 :
More lip reading from Obama. My wife and Karen Pence are on their third bottle of wine in a hotel suite not far from here.
SPEAKER 07 :
Karen Pence couldn’t even show up, just like Michelle. Let’s lip read Barron. Did you see Barron lean into Biden and say something and Biden’s facial expression change? Barron Trump, the youngest Trump, said something. I think pretty devastating to Joe Biden because Biden was like giving him pleasantries. Oh, no, you see, his whole facial expression changed, Mark.
SPEAKER 08 :
Listen, he might have fallen asleep for a moment. I don’t know. Barron could have leaned in and said, hey, do you like Nintendo Switch? And Biden would have had that very same.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, I think Barron leaned in and said, raiding my family’s home was a big mistake, old man. Stop.
SPEAKER 08 :
Stop it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Stop it.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, I’m telling you. I don’t believe that for a minute. Have you seen the clip? I don’t disbelieve it.
SPEAKER 01 :
Something happened.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t know what I do. My favorite Barron moment. There’s so many Barron moments. That is a fine looking young man. You know what? He looks just like his mom and just like his dad. Have you ever seen the picture of him?
SPEAKER 07 :
Have you ever seen the comparison of Barron when Trump was that age? They’re like twins. He looks just like Donald Trump when Trump was young, was in his 20s. They look identical. It’s unbelievable.
SPEAKER 08 :
And he’s 18. Now, did you catch him as he enjoyed the cheers of the crowd, the Novak Djokovic hand to the ear? I took a look at that. Did that picture, tweeted it out with four numbers, 2044.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, I’m telling you. And look, give him credit because President Trump gives his son a lot of credit. For the youth vote. For Trump embracing the youth vote and the podcast world and going on to a lot of these podcasts and Rogan and all that. And that’s, of course, what an 18-year-old is following. And I love all the memes that show Barron leading into his dad saying, Father, Joe Biden must be destroyed. He always says, Father. Father. Father. Father, you must destroy.
SPEAKER 08 :
While we’re working our way through the family, can I stop the segment down right now and destroy the listenership of two talk shows at once? I’m going to throw down my hot opinion of the day. You ready? First of all, Melania. Thank God she’s back. Fashion icon. Fantastic. Elegant. Especially last night. For the actual inaugural thing, did not enjoy the hat. Well, it’s a look. It is, but I like to see people’s eyes. And here’s the funny thing. When Trunk shows up, he leans into Melania for the little kiss, and the brim of the hat catches him on the bridge of the nose, and everybody goes, and I’m half kidding about that. And please, I’m being totally, just having a little fun here.
SPEAKER 07 :
I had the benefit of being with Peg Hudson in the hotel, watching a lot of it after we were at the balls and everything. Yeah. And Peg and Joey and I were in the room and Peg said, look, I would have liked to seen the hat up a little bit. But Peg said and Peg knows she looks like she’s down to step right out of a fashion magazine. She always she had a ball gown on for the balls, a black, beautiful flowing. It was she looked beautiful. Anyway, she said, you got to understand that Melania knows fashion. And that’s that look is exactly what that calls for. I’m like you. I would have liked to seen her face.
SPEAKER 08 :
If I could see Stevie Ray Vaughan’s eyes when he wore that hat, I should be able to see.
SPEAKER 07 :
I know. I know. But she’s the only woman when I’m in when I’ve interviewed President Trump and a couple of times I’ve interviewed him. Was she with with her at his side? Yeah. she takes my breath away she is so she’s it’s it’s unbelievable i mean the skin the face the eyes the hair it’s like you stand there and you say this cannot be an actual human being i’m not kidding you she’s the most pardon me honey my my wife in heaven is probably going to yell at me when i i’m the chains are going to rattle tonight but she’s the most beautiful woman i’ve ever seen in my life it’s unbelievable
SPEAKER 08 :
Do you hear Trump talking about the shoes in Emancipation Hall? The shoes were killing her. She kept saying, I’m going to do this.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m going to do this. My feet hurt. How about when Trump said, she said, sir. And then he said, oh, wait a minute. She never calls me, sir. And she’s back there shaking her head saying, no kidding, dummy. I never. Look, you know, somebody described her last night. I think it was Kayleigh McEnany who said, Melania’s got a quiet strength. She’s her own woman. Oh, no, it was Jeanine Pirro. It was Janine Pirro who’s known them forever, right? Who knows a little something about strength that’s not quiet. So I love Judge Janine. Right. And Judge Janine knew Melania and Donald before they were married. And Janine told a story last night. And that was a weird segment where Sean is up there with these giggling women who are all like screaming about the fashion and the hair and the shoes and everything. And Sean’s going, what am I doing here? It was hysterical. Sean, by the way, who I saw online the other night, just bought a $23 million mansion in Palm Beach. You want to see a house? Google that house. Boy, and Sean with Ainsley Earhart.
SPEAKER 08 :
Is Ainsley his brand new wife? His fiancee. They got married over Christmas. They did get married? Yes. Are they married? Yeah, London boy. They got married over Christmas. Oh, I didn’t know. Look, isn’t that crazy? But she’s got to still be in New York for Fox and Friends.
SPEAKER 07 :
During the week. And he’s in Florida, and they get together on the weekends. But then again, when you own a couple of G5s and helicopters and Sikorskis, you can get together.
SPEAKER 08 :
He can be together with her sooner than I can meet Lisa in downtown Dallas.
SPEAKER 07 :
Look, she could be in Iceland, and they’re closer than you and Lisa. Exactly. from Flower Mound or whatever to Dallas, Texas. But anyway, there’s Sean up there, and they’re all good. But Jeanine Pirro told the story about how when Trump first started dating Melania, they all said she’s the one because she’s smart, she’s independent. I mean, she speaks six languages. And fun fact, never once on the cover of any fashion magazine in the first year. Whereas Michelle Obama…
SPEAKER 08 :
With their Target outfits on. Some of them are J.Crew, I think.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, J.Crew, that’s true. That’s on the cover of Vogue, but not Melania and Jill Biden on the cover.
SPEAKER 08 :
Dude, I may be wrong. I’m Googling. I don’t think they got married yet. The engagement got announced. Okay, I’m sorry. Yeah, that’s what I thought. I’m so enthused I’m getting people married who are just engaged. No, they’re not married yet. Put this just in, Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhart welcomed their first child. Sorry. No, he’s kidding. He’s kidding. Engaged. They’re engaged, engaged, engaged. I thought, you know, I kind of like to get these things right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Anyway, we’re going to have some fun today on the show because I’m going to play clips of Biden and Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney and all the rest of them condemning preemptive pardons. Hey, look at their consistency check. Isn’t that funny? Look, here’s the fact. And you know this better than anybody. Everything the Democrats and the legacy media falsely claim Trump would do. Mm hmm. They did.
SPEAKER 08 :
Every accusation is an admission.
SPEAKER 07 :
There you go.
SPEAKER 08 :
Every accusation is an admission. And, you know, for anybody who thought for anybody who thought as Trump was delivering those inaugural remarks, which could absolutely have been subtitled undoing everything you people did as Biden and Kamala sit right there. For anybody who thought, oh, is this kind of harsh? Does he really have to do this? Just pause, check yourself and remember everything these vicious people did to him for four years. A Hitler level threat to democracy. They tried to financially ruin him, personally ruin him, politically ruin him. Spare me the violin music for a somewhat terse inaugural address.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s why I proudly say as I sit on the Gulf of America in my home, I’m now on the Gulf of America.
SPEAKER 08 :
Do you know the answer to that?
SPEAKER 07 :
DeSantis.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think Florida. Florida gets to determine what a body of water is called?
SPEAKER 07 :
He already did it. Last night, DeSantis did kind of a proclamation about this being the Gulf of America now. I mean, I don’t know who gets to do it.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t either. It would seem like, do we unilaterally? It would seem… Okay, by me. America first.
SPEAKER 07 :
I love it. Oh, my gosh. Can we do something to the Atlantic or the Pacific? Can we work on those two? No, we just got to worry about the Gulf of Mexico. Did you see Hillary cracking up when he said that at the speech? They showed her laughing. Good. You laugh away, Hillary. You laugh away because you’ll never be president. Here’s what I know. I’m a little tired from the trip yesterday. I watched a man get up at about 6 a.m. He issued 42 executive orders and proclamations, 115 personnel actions. He signed over 200 executive actions while talking to reporters in the White House.
SPEAKER 08 :
And I stepped away from the TV and you texted me and said, are you watching Trump right now? And I said, well, hang on a couple hours behind on the DVR. And there he is for an hour and a quarter in the Oval Office just signing stuff, taking questions, signing stuff, taking questions. Riffing, riffing. Yes, just and it got to be like nine something Eastern time. And I thought, doesn’t he need to be getting ready for the inaugural balls where he didn’t show up until 1030?
SPEAKER 07 :
Dance the night away until well past one and sang and sang and danced with the sword in the hand swinging to YMCA by the village people. All I know is the funniest moment of the night came from one of your texts. Because I said, you’ve got to see this. He’s in the Oval Office signing executive orders. And you can hear the creaking of the pen on the paper as he said, oh, here’s a good one. Oh, yeah. I mean, one after the other after the other. And the text back from you, because you were catching up, was, Mother of God, dear sweet Jesus, he’s throwing pens into the crowd. I laughed for 10 minutes.
SPEAKER 08 :
I was two hours because he’d done the signing ceremony. And at one point between signing stuff, there were a couple of moments of silence, even in an arena of 20,000. And I hear somebody from eight rows back yell, can you throw me a pen? And I thought, he’s going to do it. He’s going to throw this guy a pen. Well, there are about 10 pens left. He’s throwing pens like the Mavericks shoot T-shirts up into the crowd of the AAC.
SPEAKER 07 :
Pens used to sign executive orders. So somebody walked away. I brought my producer back a coffee mug, but man, I wish I could have grabbed a pen. Get one of those pens. They’re on eBay for $5,000. The golden age is here, my friend.
