00:00Yeah, I just was wondering, I mean, because we did hear President Trump taking aim at
00:05the Biden administration in a most unveiled way. I mean, very direct, you know, talking
00:11about some of the disastrous policies of the Biden administration as he sees it. He talked
00:18obviously about the what he called the unfair weaponization of the justice system. I mean,
00:21that was quite predictable. But what about taking aim at the outgoing administration?
00:26I mean, is that something that incoming presidents typically do?
00:30Yeah, it's not. Although if anybody didn't expect that from Donald Trump, they haven't
00:33been paying attention. The language I picked up on that I thought was interesting was he talked
00:37about a betrayal of the nation. And keep in mind, again, because they are inside today,
00:42because of the weather, and it's such a cramped setting, the people that he's effectively accusing
00:47of being betrayers are sitting just over his left shoulder to his to his rear. So they're within
00:53five or six feet. That has to be a little bit uncomfortable for both of the people
00:57in in that circumstance. But yeah, there were pieces of this speech that sounded like a rally,
01:03as much as a State of the Union speech or his inaugural speech. And certainly the betrayal
01:08part was part of it. The reference to the weaponization of the legal system was part of it.
01:12And again, the different location, I think, changed the tenor of the speech. It's hard.
01:17It's easy for me to sit here across the ocean and yell at you and call you all sorts of awful names.
01:22It would be a little bit difficult to do that if you're sitting in the chair next to me.
