And then I happened to have a moment with incoming Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Doug Burgum, who briefly ran for president, was considered seriously to be VP, a former North Dakota governor, tech billionaire, Interior Secretary. What do they do? They control all federal land. and national parks, including federal drilling rights.
And he says, you know, we're going to unwind all those regulations that Biden imposed. We're very excited about what we can handle in interior. There's an energy you feel from the Trump folks. And notably, Joe, a lot of Democrats not in town this weekend. They did not want to be here for this, some of whom just like didn't want to deal with it.
Some of whom just like don't like didn't want to be here for a party for Trump, someone who they didn't want to be president. Right. So there's just a lot of Democrats who are like, yeah, we'll come back after the inaugural festivities are done on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
So he addressed us briefly. He was like, you know, nearly skipping, I would say, in terms of happiness. Like giddy. Like giddy, yeah. Super, super pumped. Here's a bit of when we asked him, how are you feeling? What his reaction was.
So, Jill, just to reinforce that Johnson is calling this upcoming period, quote, a new golden age for the country. And this is going to be a huge challenge for Republicans, even with majority is right. It's a very slim majority in the House, a slim majority in the Senate. Trump knows that he has to overcome a second term curse. of sorts.
When you look at recent presidents in the second term, Obama was hung up with some Obamacare issues, the re-rise of ISIS in his second term, loss of a congressional majority, Bush in his second term, Katrina, Iraq started to go downhill, as did Afghanistan, the financial collapse. Clinton, well, Monica Lewinsky, enough said in his second term.
Now, what's unique about Trump here is this is not your typical second term straight off of a first term. He's had four years out of office. So he had his four years where he was a newbie, didn't really know how Washington worked, learned a lot of painful lessons, right? But now he's had four years out of office, time to gather, time to learn lessons from that first term.
This is a very unique second term. Again, you know, you mentioned the top. The first time we've seen this sort of situation since Grover Cleveland in the 1890s, when the presidency mattered much less, you know, presidents now have much more power. So how much can you learn about overreach? That's always the challenge is like thinking you have more of an agenda than you have.
And also knowing that time is of the essence, that ultimately he's a second term president, which means he's done. The clock is starting towards an open race on the Dem side, an open race on the Republican side. So really, in essence, he's got a year, maybe 18 months here to accomplish everything that he wants to going into midterms in 2026.
They're really looking at the July 2026 date as a deadline of sorts that happens to also be the 250th birthday of America. Not this July 4th, but the following July 4th. So they're looking at that deadline, that party, the 250th birthday party of America, trying to get as much done as they can.
Trump stopped by a rally of supporters yesterday, super pumped about what they're going to be able to accomplish, what he says they'll be able to accomplish here. But back to the festivities here for a second. Again, this weekend is not just today's swearing in, but in entertainment, these parties happening all weekend.
Another indication for the Trump people that they feel that this time is different. Who's performing here? Last time there was like nothing in the way of A-list talent that Trump could pull in in 2017. Super controversial. You know, there were huge protests here eight years ago. The women in pink hats, the Women's March, all those protests against Trump. Nothing like that. This go around.
Jill, who's inside the balls and the parties? Snoop Dogg was DJing one of the Trump balls, the crypto ball over the weekend. This is the same Snoop Dogg who eight years ago literally said F Trump in a variety of ways, saying that any black performer was a literal Uncle Tom for performing for President-elect Trump at the time.
This weekend, Snoop is DJing at a ball in front of people with MAGA hats. I mean, for a price, of course, you got to pay for Snoop Dogg services. But another indication that the Trump folks feel like, well, this time is different.
Yeah, all of you should be familiar with the Village People.
Yeah. So a lot of presidents do this. They like to do stuff on day one. It's a sign of, you know, enacting our promises from the start. In fact, Trump plans to sign some of these orders at the Capitol. Like he's not even waiting till he makes his way to the White House. A couple hours later, he might sign some at Capital One Arena. We're told he has a very long list and he likes to break records.
So he's probably has somebody researching right now. How many executive orders is the most amount anyone's ever signed? I want to do one more than that or 10 more than that. Like Who knows? But look for that. Now, remember, executive orders, some are meaningful, some are not meaningful, some are really symbolic. So we'll try to work through all of them.
It'll be a busy week working through all the various things that he has promised among some of the significant executive actions that will likely lead to legal moves. He's looking to weaken the power of federal employee unions, stripping workers of collective bargaining rights. This is something that Project 2025 was working on that he's talked about.
They want to weaken what they call the deep state, the more than two million career civil servants who work in the government, regardless of whether there's a Democrat in charge or Republican in charge. Trump looking to replace some of these career folks with political folks that he gets to appoint or any president will get to appoint. When they come in there, he has clashed repeatedly.
He thinks that they blocked him from his agenda the first time. So look for executive actions on that and then look for lawsuits related to that. Trump and aides looking at a lot of things on Capitol Hill.
