Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported ministry.

In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson Family Institute.

Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast ministry of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh, and today here on the program, a very, very special installment of Family Talk.

Today is inauguration day 2025, and who better than to join me in studio to have a conversation about what we're anticipating with a

brand new presidential administration than Gary Bauer. Gary is our senior vice president of public

policy here at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. And he's been around Washington a little bit.

He knows a little bit about what happens on Capitol Hill. Gary, happy new year and welcome back to

the broadcast. Thank you, Roger.

It's an exciting day in Washington, D.C. You know, this is one of the little things that happens

every four years here. We inaugurate a president, but this year seems particularly profound.

And it's also historic, as you know, because we're inaugurating a president who was president once before,

but there was four years between the first time he was president and the beginning of this one,

and that hasn't happened since Grover Cleveland did it back in the late 1800s.

Wow, wow. We've already made some history today. Yeah, I love the fact that we do have this history.

It does seem like the Trump administration is now going into its third term because of the last four years were somewhat tumultuous.

I think first and foremost, we are giving glory to God, not because we here at the JDIFI were backing any particular candidate, but I know the work that you did and Dr. Dobson did,

and we did with our countdown to Decision 2024 program, the whole name of the game there was to

encourage people to vote biblically, if you're a Christian, especially to vote for your biblical

values. But secondly, to get Christians who typically sit on their hands to get engaged.

And I think we saw a huge turnout of people who ordinarily don't engage, get engaged.

You're absolutely right, Roger.
