Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Thank you very much. It's great honor.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance, the
Speaker 2: First Lady of the United States, Members of the United
Speaker 2: States Congress, thank you very much. And to my fellow citizens,
Speaker 2: America is back. Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the
Speaker 2: dome of this capital and proclaimed the dawn of the
Speaker 2: Golden Age of America. From that moment dawn, there has
Speaker 2: been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in
Speaker 2: the greatest and most successful era in the history of
Speaker 2: our country. We have accomplished more in forty three days,
Speaker 2: and most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years,
Speaker 2: and we are just getting started. I returned to this
Speaker 2: chamber tonight to report that America's momentum is back, our
Speaker 2: spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence is back,
Speaker 2: and the American Dream is surging bigger.
Speaker 1: And better than ever before.
Speaker 2: The American dream is unstoppable, and our country is on
Speaker 2: the verge of a comeback the likes of which the
Speaker 2: world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again.
Speaker 1: It's never been anything like it.
Speaker 2: The presidential election of November fifth was a mandate like
Speaker 2: has not been seen in many decades. We won all
Speaker 2: seven swing states, give us an electoral.
Speaker 1: College victory of three hundred and twelve votes.
Speaker 2: We won the popular vote by big numbers and one
Speaker 2: counties in our country and one counties in our country
Speaker 2: two thousand, seven.
Speaker 1: Hundred to five twenty five.
Speaker 2: The map that reads almost completely read for Republican. Now,
Speaker 2: for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe
Speaker 2: that our country is headed in the right direction.
Speaker 1: Than the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's an astonishing record twenty seven point swing,
Speaker 2: the most ever. Likewise, small business optimisms are its single
Speaker 2: largest one month game ever recorded, a forty one point jump.
Speaker 3: Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in
Speaker 3: the House and to cease any further disruptions. That's you're warning,
Speaker 3: that warning.
Speaker 4: The Texas Democrat Al Green there, who's been starting out shouting.
Speaker 3: Continuing breach of the quorum, and the Chair is prepared
Speaker 3: to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to
Speaker 3: the joint session.
Speaker 4: That getting a cheer now from the public ens in
Speaker 4: the chamber, Green continuing to shout.
Speaker 3: Mister Green, take your seat, Take your seat, sir, take
Speaker 3: your seat. Finding the members continue to engage in willful
Speaker 3: and concert the disruption or proper decorum. The Chair now
Speaker 3: directs the Sergeant at arms.
Speaker 1: To restore order remove this gentleman from.
Speaker 4: The chamber, but he brimmed as Stephen pornor here Stephen,
Speaker 4: how unusual of this.
Speaker 5: I have never seen anything like this, Alex. The Sergeant
Speaker 5: at Arms is now being directed to remove a congressman
Speaker 5: from the House Chamber for interrupting the President's speech. Congressman
Speaker 5: Green was wrapping his cane and saying things that we
Speaker 5: couldn't quite pick up on Mike. But now there seems
Speaker 5: to be a huddle around Congressman Green. They seem to
Speaker 5: be trying to talk to him. He's shouting back again
Speaker 5: at the President, and now he appears to be walking
Speaker 5: out of the chamber, escorted by the doorkeepers, member and
Speaker 5: the Sergeant at arms.
Speaker 3: Uphold and maintained the quorum in the House.
Speaker 4: This President smiling and shaking his head over the President
Speaker 4: now walking out.
Speaker 2: Nearly one hundred executive orders and taking more than four
Speaker 2: hundred executive actions, a record to restore common sense, safety, optimism,
Speaker 2: and wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected
Speaker 2: me to do the job, and I'm doing it. In fact,
Speaker 2: it has been stated by many that the first month
Speaker 2: of our presidency, it's our presidency is the most successful
Speaker 2: in the history of our nation.
Speaker 1: By many.
Speaker 2: And what makes it even more impressive is that, do
Speaker 2: you know who number two is?
Speaker 1: George Washington? How about that? How about it?
Speaker 2: I don't know about that list, but but we'll take it.
Speaker 2: Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared
Speaker 2: a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed
Speaker 2: the US military and border patrol to repel.
Speaker 1: The invasion of our country. And what a job they've done.
Speaker 2: As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by
Speaker 2: far the lowest ever recorded ever.
Speaker 1: They heard my words, and they chose not to come.
Speaker 1: Much easier that way.
Speaker 2: In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history,
Speaker 2: there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month,
Speaker 2: and virtually all of them, including murder, drug dealers, gang members,
Speaker 2: and people from mental institutions and insane asylums, were released
Speaker 2: into our country.
Speaker 1: Who would want to do that?
Speaker 2: This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once
Speaker 2: again I look at the Democrats in front of me,
Speaker 2: and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say
Speaker 2: to make them happy.
Speaker 1: Or to make them stand or smile or applaud. Nothing
Speaker 1: I can do.
Speaker 2: I could find a cure to the most devastating disease,
Speaker 2: a disease that would wipe out entire nations, or announce
Speaker 2: the answers to the greatest economy and history, or the
Speaker 2: stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. And
Speaker 2: these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand,
Speaker 2: and certainly will not cheer for.
Speaker 1: These astronomical achievements.
Speaker 2: They won't do it no matter what five times I've
Speaker 2: been up here.
Speaker 1: It's very sad, and it just shouldn't be this well.
Speaker 4: As the President talks about Democrats, they are holding up
Speaker 4: signs that read must steels and save medicare as.
Speaker 1: They continue to sit.
Speaker 2: So, democrats sitting before me, for just this one night,
Speaker 2: why not join us and celebrating so many incredible wins.
Speaker 1: For America, for the good of our nation.
Speaker 2: Let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
Speaker 2: Every day my administration is fighting to deliver the change
Speaker 2: America needs to bring a future that America deserves, and
Speaker 2: we're doing it.
Speaker 1: This is a time for big dreams. And bold action.
Speaker 2: Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all
Speaker 2: federal hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and
Speaker 2: a freeze on all foreign aid. I terminated the ridiculous
Speaker 2: Green new scam. I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord,
Speaker 2: which was costing US trillions of dollars that other countries
Speaker 2: were not paying.
Speaker 1: I withdrew from the corrupt World.
Speaker 2: Health Organization, and I also withdrew from the anti American
Speaker 2: un Human Rights Council. We ended all of Biden's environmental
Speaker 2: restrictions that were making our country far less safe and
Speaker 2: totally unaffordable. And importantly, we ended the last administrations insane
Speaker 2: electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto workers and companies from
Speaker 2: economic destruction.
Speaker 1: To one shacko our economy.
Speaker 2: I have directed that for every one new regulation, ten
Speaker 2: old regulations must be eliminated.
Speaker 1: Just like I did in my very successful first.
Speaker 2: Day, and in that first term, we set records on
Speaker 2: ending unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had
Speaker 2: done before. We ordered all federal workers to return to
Speaker 2: the office. They will either show up for work in
Speaker 2: person or be removed from their job. We have ended
Speaker 2: weaponized government where as an example, a sitting president is
Speaker 2: allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.
Speaker 1: How did that work out? Not too good? Not too good.
Speaker 2: And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back
Speaker 2: free speech in America.
Speaker 1: Stopped.
Speaker 2: And two days ago I signed an order making English
Speaker 2: the official language of the United States of America. I
Speaker 2: renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, and
Speaker 2: likewise I renamed for a great president, William mckintley, Mount
Speaker 2: mckintley again, beautiful Alaska, love a art.
Speaker 1: We've ended the.
Speaker 2: Tyranny of so called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all
Speaker 2: across the entire federal government, and indeed the private sector
Speaker 2: and our military and our country will be woke no longer.
Speaker 2: We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant,
Speaker 2: a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be
Speaker 2: hired and promoted based on skill and competence.
Speaker 1: Not race or gender.
Speaker 2: Very important, you should be hired based on merit, and
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, in a brave and very.
Speaker 1: Powerful decision, has allowed us to do so. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, very much, thank you.
Speaker 2: We have removed the poison of critical race theory from
Speaker 2: our public schools, and I signed in order making it
Speaker 2: the official policy of the United States government that there
Speaker 2: are only two genders, male and female. I also signed
Speaker 2: an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports.
Speaker 1: Three years ago.
Speaker 2: Peyton McNabb was an all star high school athlete, one
Speaker 2: of the best, preparing for a future in college sports.
Speaker 2: But when her girl's volleyball match was invaded by a male,
Speaker 2: he smashed the ball so hard in Peyton's face, causing
Speaker 2: traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her right side and ending
Speaker 2: her athletic career. It was a shot like she's never
Speaker 2: seen before. She's never seen anything like it.
Speaker 1: Peyton is here tonight in the gallery and Peyton.
Speaker 2: From now on, schools will kick the men off the
Speaker 2: girls team or they will lose all federal funding. And
Speaker 2: if you really want to see numbers, just take a
Speaker 2: look at what happened in the woman's boxing, weightlifting, track
Speaker 2: and field, swimming, or cycling, where a male recently finished
Speaker 2: a long distance race five hours and fourteen.
Speaker 1: Minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by.
Speaker 2: Five hours, broke the record by five hours. It's the
Speaker 2: meaning for women and it's very bad for our country.
Speaker 1: We're not going to put up with it any longer.
Speaker 2: What I have just described there's only a small fraction
Speaker 2: of the common sense revel that is now because of
Speaker 2: us sweeping the entire world, common sense has become a
Speaker 2: common theme, and we.
Speaker 1: Will never go back, never, never going to let that happen.
Speaker 2: Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy
Speaker 2: and get dramatic and immediate relief to work in families.
Speaker 1: As you know, we inherited from the last.
Speaker 2: Administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare. Their policies
Speaker 2: drove up energy prices, pushed up grocery costs, and drove
Speaker 2: the necessities of life out of reach for millions and
Speaker 2: millions of Americans.
Speaker 1: I've never had anything like it.
Speaker 2: We suffered the worst inflation in forty eight years. But
Speaker 2: perhaps even.
Speaker 1: In the history of our country, they're not sure.
Speaker 2: As President, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage
Speaker 2: and make a America affordable again.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden especially, let the price of eggs get out
Speaker 1: of control. The egg prices out of.
Speaker 2: Control, and we're working hard to get it back down. Secretary,
Speaker 2: do a good job on that. You inherited a total
Speaker 2: mess from the.
Speaker 1: Previous administration, do a good job.
Speaker 2: A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is
Speaker 2: rapidly reducing the cost of energy. The previous administration cut
Speaker 2: the number of new oil and gas leases by nine
Speaker 2: slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than
Speaker 2: one hundred power plants. We are opening up many of
Speaker 2: those power plants right now, and frankly, we.
Speaker 1: Have never seen anything like it.
Speaker 2: That's why on my first day in office, I declared
Speaker 2: a national energy emergency. As you've heard me say many times,
Speaker 2: we have more liquid gold under our feet than any
Speaker 2: nation on Earth and by far, and now I fully
Speaker 2: authorized the most talented team ever assembled to go and
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 1: It's called Drill, Baby, Drill.
Speaker 2: My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas
Speaker 2: pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan,
Speaker 2: South Korea and other nations want to be our partner,
Speaker 2: with investments of trillions of dollars each. It's never been
Speaker 2: anything like that one. It will be truly spectacular. It's
Speaker 2: all set to go. The permitting has gotten and later
Speaker 2: this week I will also take historic action to dramatically
Speaker 2: expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in
Speaker 2: the USA to.
Speaker 1: Further combat inflation.
Speaker 2: We will not only be reducing the couse of energy,
Speaker 2: but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 2: And to that end, I appreated the brand new Department
Speaker 2: of Government Efficiency go. Perhaps you've heard of it, perhaps,
Speaker 2: which is headed by Elon Musk Poison the gallery tonight.
Speaker 2: Thank you for working very hard. He didn't need this,
Speaker 2: he didn't need this. Thank you very much. We appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it.
Speaker 1: I believe they just don't want to admit that. Just
Speaker 1: listen to some of the appalling waste. We have already identified.
Speaker 2: Twenty two billion dollars from HHS to.
Speaker 1: Provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens.
Speaker 2: Forty five million dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships
Speaker 2: in Burma, forty million dollars to improve the social and
Speaker 2: economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what that is.
Speaker 2: Eight million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the African
Speaker 2: nation of Lesuto, which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty
Speaker 2: million dollars for Indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in
Speaker 2: Central America.
Speaker 1: Sixty million dollars, eight.
Speaker 2: Million dollars for making mice transgender.
Speaker 1: This is real.
Speaker 2: Thirty two million dollars for a left wing propaganda operation
Speaker 2: in Voldova, ten million dollars for mail circumcision in Mozambique.
Speaker 2: Twenty million dollars for the Arab Sesame Street in the
Speaker 2: Middle East.
Speaker 1: It's a program. Twenty million dollars for a program.
Speaker 2: One point nine billion dollars to recently created decarbonization of
Speaker 2: homes committee headed up and.
Speaker 1: We know she's involved.
Speaker 2: Just at the last moment the money was passed over
Speaker 2: by a woman named Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of her?
Speaker 2: A three point five million dollar consulting contract for Lavish
Speaker 2: fish monitoring. One point five million dollars for voter confidence
Speaker 2: in Liberia. Fourteen million bion dollars for social cohesion in Mali.
Speaker 2: Fifty nine million dollars for illegal alien hotel rooms in.
Speaker 1: New York City.
Speaker 2: He's a real estate development's done very well. Two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars to increase vagan local climate action
Speaker 2: innovation in Zambia. Forty two million dollars for social and
Speaker 2: behavior change in Uganda, fourteen million dollars for improving public
Speaker 2: procurement in Serbia, forty seven million dollars for improving learning
Speaker 2: outcomes in Asia. Asia's doing very well with learning. I
Speaker 2: don't know what we're doing. We should use it ourselves.
Speaker 2: And one hundred and one million dollars for DEI contracts
Speaker 2: at the Department of Education, the most ever paid. Nothing
Speaker 2: even like it under the Trump administration. All of these scamps,
Speaker 2: and they're far worse, but I think it was appropriate
Speaker 2: to talk about them.
Speaker 1: They're so bad.
Speaker 2: Many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly
Speaker 2: terminated by a group of very intelligent, mostly young.
Speaker 1: People headed up by Elan, and we appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud, and
Speaker 2: we've taken back the money and reduced our debt to
Speaker 2: fight inflation and other things, taken back a lot of
Speaker 2: that money.
Speaker 1: We got it just in time. This is just the beginning.
Speaker 2: The Government Accountability Office, a federal government office, has estimated
Speaker 2: annual fraud of over five hundred billion dollars in our nation,
Speaker 2: and we are working very hard to stop it we're
Speaker 2: going to We're also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and
Speaker 2: probable fraud in the social security program for our seniors,
Speaker 2: and that areur seniors.
Speaker 1: And people that we love rely on.
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, government databases list four point seven
Speaker 2: million social security members from people aged one hundred to
Speaker 2: one hundred nine years old. It lists three point six
Speaker 2: million people from ages one hundred and ten to one
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 1: I don't know any of them.
Speaker 2: I know some people that are rather elderly, but not
Speaker 2: quite that elderly. Three point four to seven million people
Speaker 2: from ages one hundred and twenty to one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty nine, three point nine million people from ages one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty to one hundred and thirty nine, three
Speaker 2: point five million people from ages one hundred and forty
Speaker 2: to one hundred and forty one, and money is being
Speaker 2: paid to many of them, and we're searching right now.
Speaker 2: In fact, Pam, good luck, good luck, you're going to
Speaker 2: find it. But a lot of money is paid out
Speaker 2: to people because it just keeps getting paid and paid,
Speaker 2: and nobody does and it really hurts social security and
Speaker 2: hurts our country. One point three million people from ages
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty to one hundred and fifty nine
Speaker 2: and over one hundred and thirty thousand people according to
Speaker 2: the Social Security Databases our age over one hundred.
Speaker 1: And sixty years old.
Speaker 2: We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby, including
Speaker 2: to finish one thousand and thirty nine people between the
Speaker 2: ages of two hundred and twenty and two hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty nine, one person between the age of two hundred
Speaker 2: and forty and two hundred and forty nine, and one
Speaker 2: person is listed at three hundred and sixty years of age.
Speaker 1: More than one hundred years, more than one.
Speaker 2: Hundred years older than our country. But we're going to
Speaker 2: find out where that money is going, and it's not
Speaker 2: going to be pretty. By slashing all of the fraud, waste,
Speaker 2: and theft we can find, we will defeat inflation, bring
Speaker 2: down mortgage rates, lower car payments and grocery prices, protect
Speaker 2: our seniors, and put more.
Speaker 1: Money in the pockets of American families.
Speaker 2: And today's interest rates took a beautiful drop, big beautiful drop.
Speaker 1: It's about time, and.
Speaker 2: In the near future I want to do what has
Speaker 2: not been done in twenty four years.
Speaker 1: Balance the federal budget we're going to balance it.
Speaker 2: With that goal in mind, we have developed in great
Speaker 2: detail what we are calling the Gold Card, which goes
Speaker 2: on sale very very soon for five million dollars. We
Speaker 2: will allow the most successful job creating people from all
Speaker 2: over the world to buy a.
Speaker 1: Path to US citizenship.
Speaker 2: It's like the Green Card, but better and more sophisticated.
Speaker 2: And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
Speaker 2: They won't have to pay tax from where they came
Speaker 2: the money that they've made. You wouldn't want to do that,
Speaker 2: but they have to pay tax create jobs. They'll also
Speaker 2: be taking people out of colleges and paying for them
Speaker 2: so that we can keep them in our country instead
Speaker 2: of being forced out number one at the top school
Speaker 2: as an example, being forced out and not being allowed
Speaker 2: to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great
Speaker 2: success for a company out there. So while we take
Speaker 2: out the criminals, killers, traffickers, and child predators who are
Speaker 2: allowed to enter our country under the open border policy
Speaker 2: of these people, the Democrats, the Biden administration, the open
Speaker 2: border insane policies that you've allowed to destroy our country,
Speaker 2: we will now bring in brilliant, hard working, job creating
Speaker 2: people They're going to pay a lot of money, and
Speaker 2: we're going to reduce our debt with that money. Americans
Speaker 2: have given us a mandate for bold and profound change.
Speaker 2: For nearly one hundred years, the federal bureaucracy has grown
Speaker 2: until it has crushed our freedom's, ballooned our deficits, and
Speaker 2: held back America's potential in every possible way. The nation
Speaker 2: founded by pioneers and risk takers now drowns under millions
Speaker 2: and millions of pages of regulations and debt approvals that
Speaker 2: should take.
Speaker 1: Ten days to get instead.
Speaker 2: Take ten years, fifteen years, and even twenty years before
Speaker 2: you're rejected. Meanwhile, we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
Speaker 1: Who have not been showing up to work.
Speaker 2: My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy and
Speaker 2: we will restore true democracy to America again, and any
Speaker 2: federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from
Speaker 2: office immediately.
Speaker 1: Because we are draining the slump.
Speaker 2: It's very simple, and the days of rule by unelected
Speaker 2: bureaucrats are over.
Speaker 1: And the next phase of our.
Speaker 2: Plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for
Speaker 2: this Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody. They're in there,
Speaker 2: they're waiting for you to vote. And I'm sure that
Speaker 2: the people on my right I don't mean the Republican right,
Speaker 2: but my right right here. I'm sure you're going to
Speaker 2: vote for those tax cuts, because otherwise I.
Speaker 1: Don't believe the people will ever.
Speaker 2: Vote you into office. So I'm doing you a big
Speaker 2: favor by telling you that.
Speaker 1: But I know this group is going to be voting
Speaker 1: for the tax Thank you.
Speaker 2: The very very big part of our plan. We have
Speaker 2: tremendous success in our first term with it.
Speaker 1: A very big part of our plan.
Speaker 2: We're seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the board,
Speaker 2: and to get urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially
Speaker 2: hard by inflation. I'm calling for no tax on tips,
Speaker 2: no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security
Speaker 2: benefits for great.
Speaker 1: Seniors, good time. And I also.
Speaker 2: Want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible,
Speaker 2: but only if the car is made in America. And
Speaker 2: by the way, we're gonna have growth in the auto
Speaker 2: industry like nobody's ever seen. Plants are opening up all
Speaker 2: over the place, deals a bit made I've never seen.
Speaker 2: That's a combination of the election win and tariffs. It's
Speaker 2: a beautiful word, isn't it, that, along with our other policies,
Speaker 2: will allow our auto indussery to absolutely boom.
Speaker 1: It's going to boom. Spoke to the.
Speaker 2: Majors today, all three the top people, and they're so excited.
Speaker 2: In fact, already numerous car companies have announced that they
Speaker 2: will be building massive automobile plants in America, with Honda
Speaker 2: just announcing a new plant in Indiana, one of the
Speaker 2: largest anywhere in the world. And this has taken place
Speaker 2: since our great victory on November fifth, a date which
Speaker 2: will hopefully go down as one of the most important
Speaker 2: in the history of our country. In addition, as part
Speaker 2: of our tax cuts, we want to cut taxes on
Speaker 2: domestic production and all manufacturing, and just as we did before,
Speaker 2: we will provide one hundred percent expensing. It will be
Speaker 2: retroactive to January twenty, twenty twenty five. And it was
Speaker 2: one of the main reasons why our tax cuts were
Speaker 2: so successful in our first term, giving us the most
Speaker 2: successful economy in the history of our country.
Speaker 1: First turn, we had a great first term.
Speaker 2: If you don't make your product in America, However, under
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. You will pay a tariff, and in
Speaker 2: some cases a rather large one. Other countries have used
Speaker 2: tariffs against US for decades, and now it's our turn
Speaker 2: to start using them against those other countries. On average,
Speaker 2: the European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico, and.
Speaker 1: Canada, have you heard of them?
Speaker 2: And countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than
Speaker 2: we charge them.
Speaker 1: It's very unfair.
Speaker 2: India charges US auto tariffs higher than one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: China's average tariff on our products is twice what we
Speaker 2: charge them, and South Korea's average tariff is four times higher.
Speaker 1: Think of that, four times higher.
Speaker 2: And we give so much help militarily in so many
Speaker 2: other ways to South Korea.
Speaker 1: But that's what happens. This is happening by friend and foe.
Speaker 2: This system is not fair to the United States and
Speaker 2: never was. And so on April second, I wanted to
Speaker 2: make it April first, but I didn't want to be
Speaker 2: accused of April Fool's Day. That's what that's not just
Speaker 2: one day was of course, there's a lot of money,
Speaker 2: but we're going to do it in April. I'm a
Speaker 2: very superstitious person. April second, reciprocal tariffs kick in, and
Speaker 2: whatever they tariff us other countries, we will tariff them.
Speaker 2: That's reciprocal back and forth. Whatever they tax us, we
Speaker 2: will tax them.
Speaker 1: If they do non monetary tariffs.
Speaker 2: To keep us out of their market, then we will
Speaker 2: do non monetary barriers to keep them out of our market.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that too. They don't even allow
Speaker 1: us in their market.
Speaker 2: We will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and
Speaker 2: create jobs like we have never seen before. I did
Speaker 2: it with China, and I did it with others, and
Speaker 2: the Biden administration couldn't do anything about it because there
Speaker 2: was so much money, they couldn't do anything about it.
Speaker 2: We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every
Speaker 2: country on Earth, and we will not let that happen
Speaker 2: any longer. March has been said over the last three
Speaker 2: months about Mexico and Canada, but we have very large
Speaker 2: deficits with both of them. But even more importantly, they've
Speaker 2: allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never
Speaker 2: seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and
Speaker 2: many very young, beautiful people, destroying families.
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Speaker 2: They are in effect receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions
Speaker 2: of dollars. We pay subsidies to Canada and to Mexico
Speaker 2: of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the United States
Speaker 2: will not be doing that any longer. We're not going
Speaker 2: to do it any longer. Thanks to our America First
Speaker 2: policies we're putting into place. We have had at one
Speaker 2: point seven trillion dollars of new investment in America in
Speaker 2: just the past few weeks.
Speaker 1: The combination of the election.
Speaker 2: And our economic policies that people of SoftBank, one of
Speaker 2: the most brilliant anywhere in the world, announced a two
Speaker 2: hundred billion dollar investment.
Speaker 1: Open Ai and Oracle.
Speaker 2: Larry Ellison announced five hundred billion dollar investment, which they
Speaker 2: wouldn't have done if Kamala had won. Apple announced five
Speaker 2: hundred billion dollar investment. Tim Cook called me. He said,
Speaker 2: I cannot spend it fast enough. It's going to be
Speaker 2: much higher than that. I believe be building.
Speaker 1: Their plants here instead of in China.
Speaker 2: And just yesterday Taiwan Semiconductor, the biggest in the world,
Speaker 2: most powerful in the world, has a tremendous amount ninety
Speaker 2: seven percent of the market announced a one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty five billion dollar investment to build the most powerful
Speaker 2: chips on earth right here in the USA, and we're
Speaker 2: not giving them any money.
Speaker 1: Your chips ACKed is a horrible, horrible thing. We give
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't mean a thing.
Speaker 2: They take our money and they don't spend it. All
Speaker 2: that meant to them, we're giving them no money. All
Speaker 2: that was important to them was they didn't want to
Speaker 2: pay the tariffs, so they came in their building, and
Speaker 2: many other companies are coming.
Speaker 1: We don't have to give them money.
Speaker 2: We just want to protect our businesses and our people,
Speaker 2: and they will come because they won't have to pay
Speaker 2: tariffs if they build in America.
Speaker 1: So it's very amazing.
Speaker 2: You should get rid of the Chip Act, and whatever's leftover,
Speaker 2: mister speaker, you should use it to reduce stet or
Speaker 2: any other if you want to. Our new trade policy
Speaker 2: will also be great for the American farmer.
Speaker 1: I love the farmer who will now be selling into
Speaker 1: our home market, the.
Speaker 2: USA, because nobody is going to be able to compete
Speaker 2: with you because there's goods that come in from other
Speaker 2: countries and companies.
Speaker 1: They're really, really in a bad.
Speaker 2: Position in so many different ways. They're uninspected, they may
Speaker 2: be very dirty and disgusting, and they come in and
Speaker 2: they pour in and they hurt our American farmers. The
Speaker 2: tariffs will go on agricultural product coming into America and
Speaker 2: our farmers starting on April second.
Speaker 1: It may be a little bit of adjustment period.
Speaker 2: We had that before when I made the deal with
Speaker 2: China fifty billion dollars of purchases, and I said, just
Speaker 2: bear with me, and they did.
Speaker 1: They did. Probably have to bear with me again, and
Speaker 1: this will be even better. That was great. The problem
Speaker 1: with it was that Biden didn't enforce it. He didn't
Speaker 1: enforce it.
Speaker 2: Fifty billion dollars of purchases and we were doing great,
Speaker 2: but Biden did not enforce it, and it hurt our farmers.
Speaker 2: But our farmers are going to have a field day
Speaker 2: right now, So to our farmers have a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: I love you too, I love you too.
Speaker 1: Are going to happen. And I have also imposed a
Speaker 1: twenty five percent.
Speaker 2: Tariff and foreign aluminum, copper, lumber, and steel, because if
Speaker 2: we don't have, as an example, steel and lots of
Speaker 2: other things, we don't have a military, and frankly won't
Speaker 2: have We just won't have a country. Very here today
Speaker 2: is a proud American steel worker, fantastic person.
Speaker 1: From Decatur, Alabama. Jeff Denard.
Speaker 2: Has been working at the same steel plant for twenty
Speaker 2: seven years and a job that has allowed him to
Speaker 2: serve as the captain of his local volunteer fire department,
Speaker 2: raised seven children with his beautiful wife, Nicole, and over
Speaker 2: the years, provide a loving home for more than.
Speaker 1: Forty foster children. So great job, Thank you, Joy, Thank
Speaker 1: you Jeff.
Speaker 2: Stories like Jeff's remind us that tariffs are not just
Speaker 2: about protecting American jobs.
Speaker 1: They're about protecting the soul of our country.
Speaker 2: Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America
Speaker 2: great again. And it's happening, and it will happen rather quickly.
Speaker 2: There'll be a little disturbance, but we're okay with that.
Speaker 1: It won't be much. No, you're not.
Speaker 2: And look and look where Biden took us very low,
Speaker 2: the lowest we've ever been.
Speaker 1: Jeff.
Speaker 2: I want to thank you very much, and I also
Speaker 2: want to recognize another person who has devoted herself to
Speaker 2: force the care community. She works so hard on it
Speaker 2: a very loving person, our magnificent First Lady of the
Speaker 2: United States. His work has yielded incredible results, helping prepare
Speaker 2: our nation's future leaders as they enter the workforce. Our
Speaker 2: First Lady is joined by two impressive young women, very
Speaker 2: impressive Hailey Ferguson, who benefited from the First Lady's Fostering
Speaker 2: the Future initiative and it is poised to complete our
Speaker 2: education become a teacher. And Elliston Berry, who became a
Speaker 2: victim of an illicit deep fake image produced by a
Speaker 2: peer with Elliston's help. The Senate just passed the Take
Speaker 2: It Down Act.
Speaker 1: And this is so important.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, John, John tou thank you, stand up, John,
Speaker 2: Thank you John, Thank you all very much.
Speaker 1: Thank you, and thank you to John Thune and the Senate.
Speaker 2: Great job to criminalize the publication of such images online
Speaker 2: as a terrible, terrible thing. And once it passes the House,
Speaker 2: I look forward to signing that bill into law.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to use that bill for myself too,
Speaker 2: if you don't mind, because nobody gets treated worse than
Speaker 2: I do online, nobody.
Speaker 1: That's great. Thank you very much to the Senate. Thank you.
Speaker 2: But if we truly care about protecting Americans children. No
Speaker 2: step is more crucial than securing americas borders. Over the
Speaker 2: past four years, twenty one million people poured into the
Speaker 2: United States.
Speaker 1: Many of them.
Speaker 2: Were murders, human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from
Speaker 2: the streets of dangerous cities all throughout the world. Because
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous open border policies,
Speaker 2: they are now strongly embedded in our country.
Speaker 1: But we are getting them out and getting them out fast.
Speaker 2: And I want to thank Tom Holman and Christy, I
Speaker 2: want to thank you and Paul of Border Patrol.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you what a job they've all done.
Speaker 1: Everybody Border Patrol ice, law enforcement in.
Speaker 2: General is incredible. We have to take care of our
Speaker 2: law enforcement have to.
Speaker 1: Last year, hey.
Speaker 2: Brilliant twenty two year old nursing student named Lake and Riley,
Speaker 2: the best in her class, admired by everybody, went out
Speaker 2: for a job on the campus of the University of Georgia.
Speaker 2: That morning, Lincoln was viciously attacked, assault had beaten, brutalized,
Speaker 2: and horrifically murdered. Lacln was stolen from US by a
Speaker 2: savage illegal alien gang member who was arrested while trespassing
Speaker 2: across Biden's open southern border and then set Loucid to
Speaker 2: the United States under the heartless policies of that failed administration.
Speaker 1: It was indeed a failed administration.
Speaker 2: He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat
Speaker 2: run sanctuary city, a disaster before ending the life of
Speaker 2: this beautiful young angel. With us this evening are Lacan's
Speaker 2: beloved mother, Alison and her sister Lauren. Last year, I
Speaker 2: told Lacn's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter
Speaker 2: would not have died in vain. That's why the very
Speaker 2: first bill I signed into law as your forty seventh
Speaker 2: President mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who
Speaker 2: threaten public safety.
Speaker 1: It's very strong, powerful act. It's called the Lacan Riley Act.
Speaker 2: So Alison and Lauren America will never ever forget our
Speaker 2: beautiful lacin Hope rally.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping
Speaker 2: border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly
Speaker 2: achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded.
Speaker 1: Thank you the media and.
Speaker 2: Our friends and the Democrat Party kept saying we needed
Speaker 2: new legislation.
Speaker 1: We must have.
Speaker 2: Legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that
Speaker 2: all we really needed.
Speaker 1: Was a new president.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Joe Biden didn't just open our borders, he
Speaker 2: flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals,
Speaker 2: and communities throughout the country. Entire towns like Aurora, Colorado,
Speaker 2: and Springfield, Ohio buckled under the weight of the migrant
Speaker 2: occupation and corruption like nobody's ever seen before. Beautiful towns destroyed. Now,
Speaker 2: just as I promised in my inaugural address, we are
Speaker 2: achieving the great liberation of America, but they're still.
Speaker 1: Is much work to be done here.
Speaker 2: Tonight is a woman I have gotten to know, Alexis
Speaker 2: Nungary from Houston, wonderful woman. Last June, Alexis's twelve year
Speaker 2: old daughter, her precious Joscelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store.
Speaker 2: She was kidnapped, tied up, assaulted for two hours under
Speaker 2: a bridge, and horrifically murdered. Arrested in charge with this
Speaker 2: heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela, released
Speaker 2: into America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
Speaker 1: The death of this beautiful.
Speaker 2: Twelve year old girl and the agony of her mother
Speaker 2: and family touched our entire nation greatly. Alexis, I promised
Speaker 2: that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter,
Speaker 2: and earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word
Speaker 2: to you. One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is
Speaker 2: that she loved animals so much.
Speaker 1: She loved nature.
Speaker 2: Across Galveston Bay from where Jocelyn lived in Houston, you
Speaker 2: will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine, peaceful,
Speaker 2: thirty four thousand acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures
Speaker 2: on the edge.
Speaker 1: Of the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2: Alexis, moments ago I formally renamed that refuge in loving
Speaker 2: memory of your beautiful daughter, Jocelyn. So, mister Vice President,
Speaker 2: if you would, may I have the order. Thank you
Speaker 2: very much. All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Lacoln's
Speaker 2: murders were members of the Venezuelan prison gang, the toughest
Speaker 2: gang they say in the world, known as Trendy Iragua.
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago, I officially designated this gang, along with
Speaker 2: MS thirteen and the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels as foreign
Speaker 2: terrorists organizations.
Speaker 1: They are now officially in the same.
Speaker 2: Category as ISIS, and that's not good for them. Countless
Speaker 2: thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the US by
Speaker 2: the Biden administration, but now every last one will be
Speaker 2: rounded up and forcibly removed from our country, or if
Speaker 2: they're too dangerous, put in jail's standing trial in this country,
Speaker 2: because we don't want them to come back ever with us.
Speaker 1: This evening is a warrior on the front lines of
Speaker 1: that battle.
Speaker 2: Border patrol agent Roberto Ortiz, great guy. In January, Roberto
Speaker 2: and another agent were patrolling by the Rio Grande near
Speaker 2: an area known.
Speaker 1: As Cartel Island. Doesn't sound too nice to me.
Speaker 2: When heavily armed gunman started shooting at them. Roberto saw
Speaker 2: that his partner was totally exposed great danger, and he
Speaker 2: leapt into action, returning fire and providing crucial seconds for
Speaker 2: his fellow agent to seek safe safety and just barely.
Speaker 2: I have some of the prints of that event, and
Speaker 2: it was not good.
Speaker 1: Agent or teas.
Speaker 2: We salute you for your great courage and for your
Speaker 2: line of fire that you took, and for the bravery
Speaker 2: that you showed.
Speaker 1: We honor you, and we will always honor you. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Roberto very much. Thank you, ROBERTA. I actually got to
Speaker 1: know him on my many calls to the border. He's
Speaker 1: a great, great gentleman.
Speaker 2: The territory to the immediate south of our border is
Speaker 2: now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture,
Speaker 2: and exercise total control. They have total control over a
Speaker 2: whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security.
Speaker 2: The cartels are waging war in America, and it's time
Speaker 2: for America to wage.
Speaker 1: War on the cartels, which we have here five nights ago.
Speaker 2: Mexican authorities because of our tariff policies being imposed on them.
Speaker 2: Think of this, hand it over to us twenty nine
Speaker 2: of the biggest cartel leaders in their country. That has
Speaker 2: never happened before. They want to make us happy, first
Speaker 2: time ever.
Speaker 1: But we need.
Speaker 2: Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done,
Speaker 2: and they have to stop the fentanyl and drugs pouring
Speaker 2: into the USA.
Speaker 1: They're going to stop it.
Speaker 2: I have said Congress a detailed funding request laying out
Speaker 2: exactly how we will eliminate these threats, to protect our
Speaker 2: homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history,
Speaker 2: larger even than current record holder, President Dwight D.
Speaker 1: Eisenhower, a moderate.
Speaker 2: Man, but someone who believed very strongly in borders. Americans
Speaker 2: expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so
Speaker 2: I can sign it into law. So, mister Speaker, John Thune,
Speaker 2: both of you, I hope you're going to be able
Speaker 2: to do that. Mister Speaker, thank you, mister Leader, thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you very much. And let's get it. I'll sign
Speaker 2: it so fast you won't even believe it. And as
Speaker 2: we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law
Speaker 2: and order to our cities and towns. In recent years,
Speaker 2: our justice system has been turned upside down by radical
Speaker 2: left lunatics. Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangers,
Speaker 2: repeat offenders, while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me.
Speaker 2: My administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair,
Speaker 2: equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law,
Speaker 2: starting at the FBI and the DOJ. Pam, good Luck, Cash,
Speaker 2: wherever you may be.
Speaker 1: Good luck, good luck, Pam Bond, good luck so important.
Speaker 1: Going to do a great job.
Speaker 6: Cash, Thank you, thank you Cash.
Speaker 2: They've already started very strong. They're going to do a
Speaker 2: fantastic job. You're going to be very proud of them.
Speaker 2: We're also once again giving our police officers the support,
Speaker 2: protection and respect they so dearly deserve.
Speaker 1: They have to get it.
Speaker 2: They have such a hard, dangerous job, but we're gonna
Speaker 2: make it less dangerous. The problem is the bad guys
Speaker 2: don't respect the law, but they're starting to respect it,
Speaker 2: and they soon will respect it. This also includes our
Speaker 2: great fire departments throughout the country. Our firemen and women
Speaker 2: are unbelievable people and will never forget them. And besides that,
Speaker 2: they voted for me in record numbers, so I have nonswer.
Speaker 1: One year ago.
Speaker 2: This month, thirty one year old New York Police officer
Speaker 2: Jonathan Diller, unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer, was
Speaker 2: gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island.
Speaker 1: I went to his funeral.
Speaker 2: The vicious criminal charge with his murder had twenty one
Speaker 2: prior arrests, and they were rough arrests.
Speaker 1: He was a real bad one.
Speaker 2: The thug in the seat next to him had fourteen
Speaker 2: prior arrests and went by the name of killer.
Speaker 1: He was killed. He killed other people they say a
Speaker 1: lot of them.
Speaker 2: I attended Officer Diller's service, and when I met his
Speaker 2: wife and one year old son, Ryan, it was very inspirational. Actually,
Speaker 2: his widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight.
Speaker 1: Stephanie. Thank you very much, Stephanie. Thank you man. Stephanie.
Speaker 2: We're going to make sure that Ryan knows his dead
Speaker 2: was a true hero, New York's finest. And we're going
Speaker 2: to get these cold blooded killers and repeat offenders.
Speaker 1: Or our streets. So we're going to do it fast.
Speaker 1: Got to stop it. They get out with twenty eight arrests, They.
Speaker 2: Push people into subway trains, they hit people over the head,
Speaker 2: back of the head.
Speaker 1: With baseball bets. We've got to get them out of here.
Speaker 2: I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death
Speaker 2: penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight
Speaker 2: I'm asking Congress to pass.
Speaker 1: That policy into prevementent law.
Speaker 2: I'm also asking for a new crime bill, getting tough
Speaker 2: on repeat offenders while enhancing protections for Americas police officers
Speaker 2: so they can do their jobs without fear of their
Speaker 2: lives being totally destroyed.
Speaker 1: They don't want to be killed. We're not going to
Speaker 1: let them be killed.
Speaker 2: Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man
Speaker 2: who truly loves our police.
Speaker 1: His name is DJ Daniel.
Speaker 2: He is thirteen years old and he has always dreamed
Speaker 2: of becoming a police officer. But in twenty eighteen, DJ
Speaker 2: was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five
Speaker 2: months at most to live. That was more than six
Speaker 2: years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have
Speaker 2: been on a quest to make his dream come true,
Speaker 2: and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law
Speaker 2: enforcement officer actually a number of times.
Speaker 1: Peace.
Speaker 2: The police love him, the police departments love him. And tonight, DJ,
Speaker 2: We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
Speaker 2: I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran
Speaker 2: to officially make you an agent of the United States
Speaker 2: Secret Service.
Speaker 1: Thank you, DJ.
Speaker 2: DJ's doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical
Speaker 2: he was exposed to when he was younger. Since nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy five, rates of child cancer.
Speaker 1: Have increased by more than forty percent.
Speaker 2: Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for
Speaker 2: our new Presidential Commission to Make America Healthy Again. Chaired
Speaker 2: by our new Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior, with a name Kennedy. You would
Speaker 1: have thought everybody over here would have been chared. How
Speaker 1: quickly they forget.
Speaker 2: Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment,
Speaker 2: poisons out of our food supply, and keep our children
Speaker 2: healthy and strong.
Speaker 1: As an example, not long ago.
Speaker 2: And you can't even believe these numbers, one in ten
Speaker 2: thousand children had autism, one in ten thousand, and now
Speaker 2: it's one in thirty six.
Speaker 1: There's something wrong, one in thirty six. Think of that.
Speaker 1: So we're going to find out what it is.
Speaker 2: And there's nobody better than Bobby and all of the
Speaker 2: people that are working with you.
Speaker 1: You have the best to figure out what is going on. Okay, Bobby,
Speaker 1: good luck. It's a very important job. Thank you, good
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: My administration is also working to protect our children from
Speaker 2: toxic ideologies in our schools. A few years ago, January
Speaker 2: Little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's school
Speaker 2: had secretly socially transitioned their thirteen year old little girl.
Speaker 2: Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband
Speaker 2: while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and
Speaker 2: pronouns they them pronoun actually or without telling January, who
Speaker 2: is here tonight and is now a courageous advocate against
Speaker 2: this form of child abuse.
Speaker 1: January, thank you, thank you, thank you, moment, thank you.
Speaker 2: Stories like this are why shortly after taking office, I
Speaker 2: signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our
Speaker 2: children with transgender ideology. I also signed an order to
Speaker 2: cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages
Speaker 2: in the sexual mutile relation of our youth. And now
Speaker 2: I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and
Speaker 2: criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie
Speaker 2: that any child is trapped in the wrong body.
Speaker 1: This is a big line.
Speaker 2: And our message to every child in America is that
Speaker 2: you are perfect, exactly the way God made you. Because
Speaker 2: we're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of
Speaker 2: our military, and it's already out, and it's out of
Speaker 2: our society. We don't want it. Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness
Speaker 2: is bad. It's gone. It's gone, and we feel so
Speaker 2: much better for it, don't We don't we feel better?
Speaker 2: Our service members won't be activists and ideologues. They will
Speaker 2: be fighters and warriors. They will fight for our country.
Speaker 2: And Pete congratulations, Secretary of Defense, congratulation.
Speaker 1: And he's not big into the woke movement. I can
Speaker 1: tell you I know him well.
Speaker 2: I am pleased to report that in January the US
Speaker 2: Army had its single best recruiting month in fifteen years,
Speaker 2: and that all armed services are having among the best
Speaker 2: recruiting results ever in the history of our services.
Speaker 1: What are difference?
Speaker 2: And you know, it was just a few months ago
Speaker 2: where the results were exactly the opposite. We couldn't recruit anywhere,
Speaker 2: we couldn't recruit. Now we're having the best results just about.
Speaker 1: That we've ever had. What a tremendous turnaround.
Speaker 2: It's really a beautiful thing to see people love our
Speaker 2: country again. It's very simple. They love our country and
Speaker 2: they love being in our military again. So it's a
Speaker 2: great thing, and thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Great job. We're joined tonight by a young man.
Speaker 2: Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call of duty.
Speaker 2: Jason's father, grandfather, and great grandfather all wore the uniform.
Speaker 2: Jason tragic lost his dad, who was also a Los
Speaker 2: Angeles County sheriff's deputy when he was just a boy,
Speaker 2: and now he wants to carry on the family legacy
Speaker 2: of service. Jason is a senior in high school, a
Speaker 2: six letter varsity athlete, a really good athlete, they say,
Speaker 2: a brilliant student with a four point four six that's
Speaker 2: good GPA. And his greatest dream is to attend the
Speaker 2: US Military Academy at West Point. And Jason, that's a
Speaker 2: very big deal getting in. That's a hard one to
Speaker 2: get into. But please to inform you that your application
Speaker 2: has been accepted.
Speaker 1: You will soon be joining the Court Canna. Thank you, Jason.
Speaker 1: You're going to be on the long gray line. Jason.
Speaker 2: As Commander in Chief, my focus is on building the
Speaker 2: most powerful military of the future. As a first step,
Speaker 2: I'm asking Congress to fund a state of the art
Speaker 2: Golden Dome missile defense shield to protect.
Speaker 7: Our homeland, all made in the USA.
Speaker 2: And we are a Reagan wanted to do it long ago,
Speaker 2: but the technology just wasn't there, not even close. But
Speaker 2: now we have the technology. It's incredible actually, and other
Speaker 2: place that they have it, Israel has it, other places
Speaker 2: have it, and the United States should have it to right,
Speaker 2: Tim Right, they should have it too, so I want
Speaker 2: to thank you. But it's a very very important. This
Speaker 2: is a very dangerous world. We should have it. We
Speaker 2: want to be protected, and we're going to protect our
Speaker 2: citizens like never before.
Speaker 1: To boost our defense.
Speaker 2: Industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the American
Speaker 2: shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding, And for
Speaker 2: that purpose, I'm announcing tonight that we will create a
Speaker 2: new Office of Shipbuilding in the White House and orfer
Speaker 2: special tax incentives to bring this industry home to America
Speaker 2: where it belongs.
Speaker 1: We used to make so many ships.
Speaker 2: We don't make them anymore very much, but we're going
Speaker 2: to make them very fast, very soon. It will have
Speaker 2: a huge impact to further enhance our national security. My
Speaker 2: administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we've already
Speaker 2: started doing it. Just today, a large American company announced
Speaker 2: they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and
Speaker 2: lots of other things having to do with the Panama
Speaker 2: Canal and a couple of other canals.
Speaker 1: The Panama Canal.
Speaker 2: Was built by Americans for Americans, not for others, but
Speaker 2: others could use it, but it was built a tra
Speaker 2: discourse of American blood and treasure. Thirty eight thousand workers died.
Speaker 1: Building the Panama Canal.
Speaker 2: They died of malaria, they died of snake bites and mosquitoes.
Speaker 1: Not a nice place to work.
Speaker 2: They paid them very highly to go there, knowing there
Speaker 2: was a twenty five percent chance that they would die.
Speaker 2: The most expensive project also that was ever built in
Speaker 2: our country's history, if you're.
Speaker 1: Bringing up to modern day costs.
Speaker 2: It was given away by the Carter administration for one dollar.
Speaker 2: But that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn't
Speaker 2: give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and
Speaker 2: we're taking it back. Now we have Marco Rubio in charge.
Speaker 2: Good luck Marco. Now we know who to blame if
Speaker 2: anything goes wrong. Marco has been amazing and he's going
Speaker 2: to do a great job.
Speaker 1: Think of it. He got one hundred votes.
Speaker 2: You know, he was approved with actually ninety nine, but
Speaker 2: the one hundredth was this gentleman, and I feel very certain.
Speaker 1: So let's assume we got one hundred votes, and I'm
Speaker 1: either very very happy about.
Speaker 2: That or I'm very concerned about it. But he's already proven.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great gentleman. He's respected by everybody,
Speaker 2: and we appreciate your voting for Marco.
Speaker 1: He's going to do a fantastic job. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: He's doing a great job. Great job.
Speaker 2: And I also have a message tonight for the incredible
Speaker 2: people of Greenland. We strongly support your right to determine
Speaker 2: your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you
Speaker 2: into the United States of America. We need Greenland for
Speaker 2: national security and even international security, and we're working with
Speaker 2: everybody involved to try and get it. But we need
Speaker 2: it really for international world security, and I think we're.
Speaker 1: Going to get it. One way or the other. We're
Speaker 1: going to get it.
Speaker 2: We will keep you safe, we will make you rich,
Speaker 2: and together we will take Greenland to heights like you
Speaker 2: have never thought possible before. It's a very small population,
Speaker 2: but very very large piece of land and very very
Speaker 2: important for military security. America is once again standing strong
Speaker 2: against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism. Three and a
Speaker 2: half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed thirteen American service members.
Speaker 1: And countless others in the.
Speaker 2: Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Speaker 2: Not that they were withdrawing it was the way they
Speaker 2: withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of
Speaker 2: our country. Tonight, I'm pleased to announce that we have
Speaker 2: just apprehended the top terrorists responsible for that atrocity, and
Speaker 2: he is right now on his way here to face
Speaker 2: the swift sword of American justice. And I want to
Speaker 2: thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
Speaker 2: This was a very momentous day for those thirteen families
Speaker 2: who I actually got to know very well, most of
Speaker 2: them whose children were murdered, and the many people that
Speaker 2: were so badly over forty two people so badly injured
Speaker 2: on that fateful day in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: What a horrible day. Such incompetence was shown.
Speaker 2: That when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, wow,
Speaker 2: maybe this is my chance.
Speaker 1: That's how bad it was.
Speaker 2: Should it never happen grossly incompetent people. I spoke to
Speaker 2: many of the parents and loved ones, and they were
Speaker 2: all in our hearts tonight. Just spoke to them on
Speaker 2: the phone. We had a big call.
Speaker 1: Every one of them called and everybody was on the line,
Speaker 1: and they did nothing.
Speaker 2: But cry with happiness. They were very happy. As happy
Speaker 2: as you can be under those circumstances. Their child, brother, sister, son,
Speaker 2: daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever. In the Middle East,
Speaker 2: we're bringing back are hostages from Gaza. In my first term,
Speaker 2: we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in generations,
Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords, and now we're going to build on
Speaker 2: that foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future
Speaker 2: for the entire region.
Speaker 1: A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
Speaker 2: People haven't been talking about that so much lately with
Speaker 2: everything going on with Ukraine and Russia, but a lot
Speaker 2: of things are happening in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: Rough neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Actually, I'm also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict
Speaker 2: in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly
Speaker 2: killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict.
Speaker 1: With no end in sight.
Speaker 2: The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars
Speaker 2: to support Ukraine's defense with no security, with no anything.
Speaker 2: Do you want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you would say. Pocahonta says, yes. Two thousand people are
Speaker 2: being killed.
Speaker 1: Every single week, more than that.
Speaker 2: They're Russian young people, they're Ukrainian young people, they're not Americans,
Speaker 2: but I wanted to stop. Meanwhile, Europe sadly spent more
Speaker 2: money buying Russian oil and gas than they.
Speaker 1: Have spent on defending Ukraine by far.
Speaker 2: Think of that, they've spent more buying Russian oil and
Speaker 2: gas than they have defending And we've spent perhaps three
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty billion dollars, like taking candy from a baby,
Speaker 2: that's what happened, and they've spent one hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2: What a difference set is. And we have a notion
Speaker 2: separating us and they don't. But we're getting along very
Speaker 2: well with them, and lots of good things are happening.
Speaker 2: Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe
Speaker 2: has spent, by.
Speaker 1: Billions and billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: It's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it
Speaker 2: and said, at some point, come on, let's equalize. You've
Speaker 2: got to be equal to us. But that didn't happen.
Speaker 2: Earlier today I received an important letter from President Zelensky
Speaker 2: of Ukraine. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating
Speaker 2: table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said. My
Speaker 2: team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's
Speaker 2: strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We do
Speaker 2: really value how much America has done to help Ukraine
Speaker 2: maintain its sovereignty and independence. Regarding the agreement on Minerals
Speaker 2: and Security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any
Speaker 2: time that is.
Speaker 1: Convenient for you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it
Speaker 2: a little while ago. Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with
Speaker 2: Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready
Speaker 2: for peace.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be beautiful? Didn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be beautiful?
Speaker 2: It's time to stop this madness. It's time to halt
Speaker 2: the killing. It's time to end the senseless war. If
Speaker 2: you want to end wars, you have to talk to
Speaker 2: both sides. Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions, a
Speaker 2: history teacher named Mark Vogel was detained in Russia and
Speaker 2: sentenced to fourteen years in.
Speaker 1: A penal colony rough stuff.
Speaker 2: The previous administration barely lifted her finger to help him.
Speaker 1: They knew he was innocent, but they had no idea
Speaker 1: where to begin.
Speaker 2: But last summer I promised his ninety five year old mother, Malphine,
Speaker 2: that we would bring her boy safely back home after
Speaker 2: twenty two days in office. I did just that, and
Speaker 2: they are here tonight to Mark and his great mom.
Speaker 2: We are delighted to have you safe and sound and
Speaker 2: with us. As fate would have it. Mark Vogel was
Speaker 2: born in a small rural town in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of it?
Speaker 2: Where his mother has lived for the past seventy eight years.
Speaker 2: I just happened to go there last July thirteenth.
Speaker 1: For a rally.
Speaker 2: That was not pleasant, and that is where I met
Speaker 2: his beautiful mom right before I walked onto that stage,
Speaker 2: and I told her I would not forget what she
Speaker 2: said about her son, and I.
Speaker 1: Never did did I never forgot. Less than ten minutes later,
Speaker 1: at that.
Speaker 2: Same rally, gunfire rang out and a sick and deranged
Speaker 2: assassin unloaded eight bullets from his sniper's perch into a
Speaker 2: crowd of many thousands of people. My life was saved
Speaker 2: by a fraction of an inch, but some were not
Speaker 2: so lucky. Corey Comparatore was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian,
Speaker 2: a husband, a devoted father, and above all a protector.
Speaker 1: When the sound of gunshots pierced the air was a
Speaker 1: horrible sound. Corey knew instantly what it was and what
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: He threw himself on top of his wife and daughters
Speaker 2: and shielded them from the bullets with his own body.
Speaker 1: Corey was hit really hard. You know the story. From there,
Speaker 1: he sacrificed his life to save theirs.
Speaker 2: Two others, very fine people, were also seriously hit, but thankfully,
Speaker 2: with the help of two great country doctors. We thought
Speaker 2: they were gone and they were saved. So those doctors
Speaker 2: had great talent. Were joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who
Speaker 2: was his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved daughters,
Speaker 2: Allison and Kaylee.
Speaker 1: Thank you to Helen, Allison and Kaylee.
Speaker 2: Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now,
Speaker 2: and he is cheering you on.
Speaker 1: He loves you. He is cheering you on.
Speaker 2: Corey was taken from us much too soon, but his
Speaker 2: destiny was to leave us.
Speaker 1: All with a shining example.
Speaker 2: Of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot. It
Speaker 2: was love like Corey's that built our country and it's
Speaker 2: love like Cory's that is going to make our country
Speaker 2: more majestic than ever before. I believe that my life
Speaker 2: was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason.
Speaker 1: I was saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 1: I believe that. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: From the patriots of Lexington and Concord, to the heroes
Speaker 2: of Gettysburg and Normandy, From the warriors who crossed the Delaware,
Speaker 2: to the trail blazers who climbed the Rockies, and from
Speaker 2: the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts
Speaker 2: who touched the moon. Americans have always been the people
Speaker 2: who defied all arts, transit that all dangers, made the
Speaker 2: most extraordinary sacrifices, and did whatever it took to defend
Speaker 2: our children, our country, and our freedom. And as we
Speaker 2: have seen in this chamber tonight, that same strength, faith, love,
Speaker 2: and spirit is still alive and thriving in the hearts
Speaker 2: of the American people. Despite the best efforts of those
Speaker 2: who would try to censor us, silence us, break us,
Speaker 2: destroy us. Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign, and
Speaker 2: independent nation that will always be free, and we will
Speaker 2: fight for it till death. We will never let anything
Speaker 2: happen to our beloved country, because we are a country
Speaker 2: of doers, dreamers, fighters, and survivors. Our ancestors crossed a
Speaker 2: vast ocean, strode into the unknown wilderness, and carved their
Speaker 2: fortunes from the rock and soil of a perilous and
Speaker 2: very dangers frontier. They chased our destiny across a boundless continent.
Speaker 2: They built the railroads, laid the highways, and graced the
Speaker 2: world with American marbles like the Empire State Building, the
Speaker 2: mighty Hoover Dam.
Speaker 1: And the towering Golden gate Bridge.
Speaker 2: They lit the world with electricity, broke free of the
Speaker 2: force of gravity, fired up the engines of American industry,
Speaker 2: vanquished the communists, fascists, and Marxists all over the world,
Speaker 2: and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured out of iron,
Speaker 2: glass and steel. We stand on the shoulders of these
Speaker 2: pioneers who won and built the modern age, These workers
Speaker 2: who poured their sweat into the skylines of our cities,
Speaker 2: These warriors who shed their blood on fields of battle
Speaker 2: and gave everything they had for our rights and for
Speaker 2: our freedom. Now it is our time to take up
Speaker 2: the righteous cause of American liberty, and it is our
Speaker 2: turn to take American's destiny into our own hands and
Speaker 2: begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country.
Speaker 1: This will be our greatest era.
Speaker 2: With God's help, over the next four years, we are
Speaker 2: going to lead this nation even higher, and.
Speaker 1: We are going to forge.
Speaker 2: The freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most dominant civilization
Speaker 2: ever to exist on the face of this earth. We
Speaker 2: are going to create the highest quality of life, build
Speaker 2: the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital communities.
Speaker 1: Anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2: We are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science,
Speaker 2: and we are going to lead humanity into space and
Speaker 2: plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even
Speaker 2: far beyond.
Speaker 1: And through it all, we are going to.
Speaker 2: Rediscover the unstoppable power of the American spirit, and we
Speaker 2: are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream.
Speaker 2: Every single day, we will stand up and we will fight, fight,
Speaker 2: fight for the country our citizens believe in, and for
Speaker 2: the country our people deserve. My fellow Americans, get ready
Speaker 2: for an incredible future, because the Golden Age of America.
Speaker 1: Has only just begun.
Speaker 2: It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.
Speaker 2: Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
