00:00Mick, we just saw Donald Trump placing his hand on the Bible, swearing the oath of office,

00:06giving that inaugural speech.

00:07The second Trump presidency has now began.

00:10Your immediate thoughts?

00:11Oh, a couple of different thoughts.

00:14I thought the speech was a little bit low key.

00:17Let's talk about the speech.

00:18Let's talk about the policies.

00:19The speech was a little low, more low key than I expected.

00:23The can you not hear me?

00:26I'm sorry.

00:27Yeah, I can hear you.

00:28Please go ahead, Mick.

00:29Oh, I'm sorry.

00:30The speech is a lot more low key than I thought.

00:33Keep in mind, this speech was designed originally to be outdoors in front of a crowd of several

00:37hundred thousand people.

00:38They moved it now indoors to the rotunda, which only holds about 600 people.

00:42It's an entirely different setting.

00:44And it was a little bit lower energy speech than I think you would expect.

00:48That being said, there's not a lot of new material there, something you've been talking

00:51about during the campaign.

00:53The policies, however, as he was giving this speech, the administration put out several

00:58statements regarding some of the policies that he was describing in the speech and the

01:01details on what they would be doing moving forward, specifically on things like immigration

01:06and energy.

01:07We've heard that there could be as many as 200 executive orders issued just today.

01:13So while the speech is going on and now they move into the pomp and circumstance and the

01:17parties and the rallies this afternoon, the policies are already starting to kick in.
