Speaker 1 (00:01):
My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future, because
the Golden Age of America has only just begun. It
will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.
Thank you, God, bless you.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And God bless.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Welcome to the forty seven Morning Updates Special Address to
Congress Edition with Ben Ferguson.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome. It is the forty seven Morning Update Special Edition
after the State of the Union, Ben Ferguson with you,
and there's just one story we're talking about. On today's
Morning Update, the President of the United States of America
delivered one of the most effective and powerful addresses I
would argue in my lifetime. The President wove his early
(00:44):
accomplishments into his agenda and his vision for the future.
And for years, failed politicians have said they needed legislation
to secure the border, especially on the Democratic side. Well,
President Trump showed it was not a matter of legislation,
but a matter of will, and the American people are
clearly in favor of the lowest border crossing numbers that
(01:06):
have ever been recorded in history. In February, the President
also focused on the issues that united the country around
his campaign and the issues that will continue. As he
put it, to bring the country together, such as lowering taxes,
keeping men out of girls' sports, restoring American manufacturing, fighting
crime in our cities, and restoring national security. President Trump
(01:30):
put a face to the policies in an emotional and
personal way, which is where the biggest shock of the
night came, as Democrats put their face of anger and
radical policies and positions that they want to divide the
country on display. Instead of standing for things that you
would assume everyone could be in favor of, the Democrats
(01:53):
refused to show support for lowering taxes, fighting child cancer,
capturing terraces, protecting girl athletes, law and order and law
enforcement officers. And that's just some of the highlights. So
what did the President say? And maybe you didn't get
to see the entire speech, we decide to put together
(02:15):
a montage of the biggest moments of the night. Here's
the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump,
in his own words.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I returned to this chamber tonight to report that America's
momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back,
our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging
bigger and better than ever before.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
How we have ended.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Weaponized government, where as an example, a sitting president is
allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me. How
did that work out?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Not to go?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Not to Within hours of taking the oath of office,
I declared a national emergence on our southern border, and
I deployed the US military and Vorder patrol to repel
the invasion of our country. And what a job they've done.
As a result, illegal border crossings last month were by
(03:15):
far the lowest ever recorded ever. To unshackle our economy,
I have directed that for every one new regulation, ten
old regulations must be eliminated, just like I did in
my very successful first day, and I have stopped all
(03:38):
government censorship and brought back free speech in America.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's back.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We've ended the tyranny of so called diversity, equity, and
inclusion policies all across the entire federal government, and indeed
the private sector and our military and our country will
be worked no longer. I also signed an executive order
(04:11):
to ban men from playing in women's sports, and in
the near future, I want to do what has not
been done in twenty four years balance the federal budget.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
We're going to balance it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
One point three million people from ages one hundred and
fifty to one hundred and fifty nine and over one
hundred and thirty thousand people according to the Social Security
databases our age over one hundred and sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We have a.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Healthier country than I thought, Bobby, concluding to finish more
than thirty nine people between the ages of two hundred
and twenty and two hundred and twenty nine, one person
between the age of two hundred and forty and two
hundred and forty nine, and one person is listed at
(05:12):
three hundred and sixty years of age, more than one
hundred years, more than one hundred years older than our country.
But we're going to find out where that money is going,
and it's not going to be.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Pretty so as the President has America behind him on
stopping waste, fraud, and abuse, which you heard him talking
about right there, Democrats were sitting on their hands. They
were angry. So let's go through the major list of
all the things the Democrats refused to clap for, refuse
to stand for. Many of them were actually not political things,
but since the President was talking about it, they decided
(05:50):
to say no to it, no matter what tax cuts
they are not in favor of that, and refuse to clap.
The border being closed, something they claim they were in
favor of, and said that they were willing to pass
the legislation to quote get it done. They wouldn't clap
for that either. Even foster children finding hope and success
(06:12):
was something that apparently Democrats are not in favor of.
And then there was the personal stories of children being
murdered by illegal immigrants and the parents being in the audience.
They wouldn't even clap for the family members. Police officers
dying in the line of duty being honored and their
family something they would not stand to honor. Supporting workers
(06:35):
including us still workers with something apparently they couldn't clap for.
And even a child with brain cancer becoming an honorary
Secret Service member was too much for the Democratic Party
to say, we can stand with J. D. Daniels. The
President had no problem honoring him with a special surprise
(06:59):
and this is what he said.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
DJ Daniel. He is thirteen years old and he has
always dreamed of becoming a police officer. In twenty eighteen,
DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him
five months at most to live. That was more than
six years ago, and tonight, DJ, We're going to do
you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking
(07:22):
our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran to officially make
you an agent of the United States Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The clapping that you heard there was the Republicans, not
the Democrats. There was even also a surprise for a
teenager who had lost a family member, a father, getting
into West Point, something they couldn't clap for. Even the
men and women in uniform that traditionally do not clap
that are in attendance serving our arms knew that was
(08:02):
a moment where it was okay for them to clap
for that teenager getting into West Point. Advancing our military
and defense structure was something Democrats couldn't support either. And then,
in a more shocking moment, as the President announced the
apprehension and extradition of an ISIS terrorists linked to the
twenty twenty one abbigate bombing in Afghanistan where thirteen Americans
(08:26):
lost their lives, the Democrats couldn't be bothered to clap
when he talked about catching that terrorist in the country.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Tonight, An please to announce that we have just apprehended
the top terrorists responsible for that atrocity, and he is
right now on his way here to face the swift
sword of American justice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yes, Republicans were excited because the President broke news in
that moment. All the people in the chamber did not
know that that had just happened, and there was genuine
hearing for a moment knowing that that isis terrace was
coming to America. That wasn't just on that issue. The
Democrats couldn't stand or clap. Bringing an American hostage home
(09:10):
from Russia because it was done under Donald Trump's time
in office was something they couldn't clap for. And even
the man who died because the Butler Rally assassination attempt,
when the President honored him, Democrats refused to honor that man. So,
if you want to know where we are right now
(09:31):
with the forty seventh President of the United States of
America and his time in office, these are the issues
the Democrats refused to stand for now. The Democratic Party,
they clearly are out of touch with the American people.
And one thing that's for sure is what Donald Trump
said at the State of the Union is an agenda
that is driven by the people. A mandate that the
(09:54):
people gave him to work on all of these issues,
and I have a feeling the president's approval rating will
go up significantly because of what he said to America.
