Speaker 1 (00:00):
Members of the United States Congress, thank you very much,
and to my fellow citizens, America is back. Six weeks ago,
(00:38):
I stood beneath the dome of this capital and proclaimed
the dawn of the Golden Age of America. From that
moment dawn, there's been nothing but swift and unrelenting action
to usher in the greatest and most successful era in
the history of our country. We have accomplished more in
(01:00):
forty three days than most administrations accomplished in four.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Years or eight years, and we are just getting started.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
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. The American dream is unstoppable,
(01:53):
and our country is on the verge of a comeback
the likes of which the world has never witnessed and
perhaps will never witness again.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's never been anything like it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The presidential election of November fifth was a mandate like
has not been seen in many decades. We won all
seven swing states, giving us an electoral College rectory.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Of three hundred and twelve votes.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We won the popular vote by big numbers and won
counties in our country and one counties in our country
(03:14):
two thousand, seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
To five twenty five.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Or a map that reads almost completely read for Republican. Now,
for the first time in modern history, more Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Believe that our country is headed in the right.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Direction than the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
In fact, it's an astonishing record twenty seven point swing,
the most ever. Likewise, Small Business Optimisms are its single
(04:03):
largest one month game ever recorded, a forty one point jump.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in
the House and to cease any further disruptions. That's your warning.
Members are engaging in wilfland continuing breach of the quorum,
and the Chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant at
Arms to restore order to the joint session. Mister Green,
(05:00):
take your seat. Take your seat, sir, take your seat.
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concert
the disruption or proper to quorum, the Chair now directs
the Sergeant at Arms to restore order remove this gentleman
from the chamber. Members are directed to uphold and maintain
(05:58):
the quorum in the House. That's President, you continue.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly one
hundred executive orders and taken more than four hundred executive
actions or record to restore common sense, safety, optimism, and
wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected me
to do the job, and I'm doing it. In fact,
(06:44):
it has been stated by many that the first month
of our presidency, it's our presidency is the most.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Successful in the history of our nation by men enough.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And what makes it even more impressive is that, do
you know who number two is?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
George Washington? How about that? How about it? I don't
know about that list, but we'll take it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared
a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed
the US military and border patrol to repel.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
The invasion of our country. And what a job they've done.
As a result.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest
ever recorded ever.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
They heard my words, and they chose not to come.
Much easier that way.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history,
there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month,
and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members,
and people from mental institutions and insane asylums were released
(08:28):
into our country.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Who would want to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once
again I look at the Democrats in front of me,
and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say
to make them happy, or to make them stand or
smile or applaud.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out
entire nations, or announce the answers to the greatest economy
and history, or the stoppage of crime to the lowest
levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here will
not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer
(09:12):
for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it, no matter
what five times I've been up here. It's very sad
and it just shouldn't be this well, So, Democrats sitting
(09:44):
before me, for just this one night, why not join
us and celebrating so many incredible wins for America.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
For the good of our nation.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
(10:16):
Every day my administration is fighting to deliver the change
America needs to bring a future that America deserves, and
we're doing it. This is a time for big dreams
and bold action. Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate
freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new
(10:38):
federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid. I
terminated the ridiculous Green New scam. I withdrew from the
unfair Paris Climate Accord, which was costing US trillions of
(11:03):
dollars that other countries were not paided.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I withdrew from the corrupt World.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Health Organization, and I also withdrew from the anti American
UN Human Rights Council. We ended all of Biden's environmental
restrictions that were making our country far less safe and
(11:34):
totally unaffordable.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And importantly, we ended.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The last administrations insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto
workers and companies from economic destruction.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
To our in shackle our economy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
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 in that first term,
(12:24):
we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like
no other president had done before we ordered all federal
workers to return to the office.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
They will either show up for work in person or
be removed from their job.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And we have ended weaponized government, where as an example,
a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political
opponent like me.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
How did that work out? Not too good? Not too good?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back
free speech in America.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's back.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And two days ago I signed an order making English
the official language of the United States of America. I
renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, and
(14:08):
likewise I renamed for a great President, William McKinley, Mount
McKinley again, Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Alaska, Love al Act.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We've ended the tyranny of so called diversity, equity, and
inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed
the private sector, at our military.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And our country will be woke no longer.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant,
a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be
hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race
or gender. Very important, you should be hired based on
(15:20):
merit and the Supreme Court, in a brave and very
powerful decision, has allowed us to do so.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Thank you, Thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We have removed the poison of critical race theory from
our public schools, and I signed in order making it
the official policy of the United States government that there
are only two genders, male and female. I also signed
(16:03):
an executive order to ben men from playing in women's sports.
Three years ago, Peyton McNabb was an all star high
(16:26):
school athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future
in college sports. But when her girl's volleyball match was
invaded by a male, he smashed the ball so hard
in Peyton's face, causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her
right side and ending her athletic career. It was a
(16:49):
shot like she's never seen before. She's never seen anything
like it. Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton.
From now on, schools will kick the men off the
girls team, or they will lose all federal funding. And
(17:31):
if you really want to see numbers, just take a
look at what happened in the woman's boxing, weightlifting, track
and field, swimming, or cycling where a male recently finished
a long distance race five hours and fourteen minutes ahead
of a woman for a new record by five hours.
(17:51):
Broke the record by five hours. It's the meaning for women,
and it's very bad for our country. We're not going
to put up with it any longer. What I have
(18:16):
just described is only a small fraction of the common
sense revolution that is now because of us sweeping the
entire world. Common sense has become a common theme.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And we will never go back, never, never going to
let that happen.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy
and get dramatic and immediate relief to work in families.
As you know, we inherited from the last administration an
economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare. Their policies drove up
(18:56):
energy prices, pushed up grocery costs, and drove the necessities
of life out of reach for millions and millions of Americans.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I've never had anything like it.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
We suffered the worst inflation in forty eight years. But
perhaps even in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
They're not sure.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
As president, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage
and make America affordable again. Joe Biden, especially let the
(19:38):
price of eggs get out of control, the egg prices
out of control, and we're working hard to get it
back down.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Secretary, do a good job on that.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You inherited a total mess from the previous administration.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Do a good job.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is
rapidly reducing the cost of energy. The previous administration cut
the number of new oil and gas leases by ninety five,
slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than
one hundred power plants.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
We are opening up many of those power plants right.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Now, and frankly, we have never seen anything like it.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's why on my first day in office, I declared
a national energy emergency. As you've heard me say many times,
we have more liquid gold under our feet than any
nation on Earth and by far, and now I fully
authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and
(21:04):
get it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's called Drill, Baby, Drill.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas
pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan,
South Korea and other nations want to be our partner,
with investments of trillions of dollars each. It's never been
anything like that one. It will be truly spectacular. It's
all set to go. The permittinggu has gotten and later
(21:44):
this week I will also take historic action to dramatically
expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in
the USA.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
To further combat inflation.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
We will not only be reducing the course of energy,
but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.
And to that end, I have created the brand new
Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
GO perhaps you've heard of it perhaps, which is headed
by Elon Musk Poison the gallery tonight.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Thank you, Elion. He's working very hard. He didn't need this,
he didn't need this.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everybody here, even
this side, appreciates it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
They just don't want to admit that. Just listen to
some of the appalling waste. We have already identified twenty
two billion dollars from HHS to provide free housing and
cars for illegal aliens, forty five million dollars for diversity,
equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, forty million dollars to
(23:45):
improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Nobody knows what that is. Eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
To promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesuto,
which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million dollars for
indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America. Sixty
million dollars, eight million dollars for making mice transgender.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This is real.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Thirty two million dollars for a left wing propaganda operation
in Roldova, ten million dollars for mail circumcision in Mozambique,
twenty million dollars for the Arab Sesame Street in the
Middle East. It's a program. Twenty million dollars for program
(24:46):
one point nine billion dollars to recently created decarbonization of
homes committee headed up and we know she's involved. Just
at the last moment the money was passed over by
a woman named Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Have you ever heard of her?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
A three point five million dollar consulting contract for Lavish
fish monitoring. One point five million dollars for voter confidence
in Liberia, fourteen million dollars for social cohesion in Mali.
Fifty nine million dollars for legal alien hotel rooms in
(25:27):
New York City. He's a real estate developm He's done
very well. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to increase
vagan local climate action innovation in Zambia, forty two million
dollars for social and behavior change in Uganda, fourteen million
(25:49):
dollars for improving public procurement in Serbia, forty seven million
dollars for improving learning outcomes in Asia. Is doing very
well with learning. You know what we're doing. We should
use it ourselves. At one hundred and one million dollars
for DEI contracts at the Department of Education, the most
(26:13):
ever paid nothing even like it under the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
All of these scams, and.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
They're far worse, but I didn't think it was appropriate
to talk about them.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
They're so bad.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly
terminated by a group of very intelligent, mostly young people
headed up by Elon and we appreciate it. We found
hundreds of billions of dollars of.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Fraud, and we've taken back the money and reduced our
debt to fight inflation and other things.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Taking back a lot of that money. We got it
just in time. This is just the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
The Government Accountability Office a Federal government office has estimated
annual fraud of over five hundred billion dollars in our nation,
and we are working very hard to stop it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We're going to We're also a competence and.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Social security program for our seniors, and that our seniors.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
And people that we love rely on.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Believe it or not, government databases list four point seven
million social security members from people aged one hundred to
one hundred nine years old. It lists three point six
million people from ages one hundred and ten to one
(27:58):
hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I don't know any of it.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I know some people that are rather elderly, but not
quite that elderly. Three point four seven million people from
ages one hundred and twenty to one hundred and twenty nine,
three point nine million people from ages one hundred and
thirty to one hundred and thirty nine, three point five
(28:23):
million people from ages one hundred and forty to one
hundred and forty nine, and money is being paid to
many of them, and we're searching right now.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
In fact, Pam, good luck, good luck, You're going to
find it.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
But a lot of money is paid out to people
because it just keeps getting paid and paid, and nobody
does and it really hurts social security and hurts our country.
One point three million people from ages one hundred and
fifty to one hundred and fifty nine and over one
hundred and thirtyty thousand people according to the Social Security databases,
(29:06):
our age over one hundred and sixty years old. We
have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby, including to
(29:33):
finish one thousand and 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 three hundred and sixty years of age, more
than one hundred years, more than one hundred years older
(29:55):
than our country. But we're going to find out where
that money is going, and it's not going to be pretty.
By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we
can find, we will defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates,
lower car payments and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and
(30:15):
put more money in the pockets of American families. And
today interest rates took a beautiful drop, big beautiful drop.
(30:38):
It's about time, and in the near future I want
to do what has not been done in twenty four years,
balance the federal budget.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
We're going to balance it.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
With that goal in mind, we have developed in great
detail what we are calling the Gold Card, which goes
on sale very very soon for five million dollars. We
will allow the most successful job creating people from all
over the world to buy a.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Path to US citizenship.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It's like the Green Card, but better and more sophisticated.
And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
They won't have to pay tax from where they came
the money that they've made.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
You wouldn't want to do that, but they have to
pay tax create jobs.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying
for them so that we can keep them in our
country instead of being forced out number one at the
top school as an example, being forced out and not
being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs
and great success for a company out there.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
So while we take out the.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Criminals, killers, traffickers, and child predators who are allowed to
enter our country under the open border policy of these people,
the Democrats, the Biden administration, the open border insane policies
that you've allowed to destroy our country. We will now
bring in brilliant, hard working, job creating people. They're going
(32:28):
to pay a lot of money, and we're going to
reduce our debt with that money. Americans have given us
a mandate for bold and profound change. For nearly one
(32:50):
hundred years, the federal bureaucracy has grown until it has
crushed our freedom, has ballooned our deficits, and held back
America's potential in every possible way. The nation founded by
pioneers and risk takers now drowns under millions and millions
of pages of regulations and debt approvals that should take
(33:14):
ten days to get instead take ten years, fifteen years,
and even twenty years before you're rejected.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Meanwhile, we have hundreds.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing
up to work. My administration will reclaim power from this
unaccountable bureaucracy and we will restore true democracy to America again,
(33:50):
and any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be
removed from office.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Immediately because we are the SAP.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's very simple, and the days of rule by unelected
bureaucrats are over, and the next phase of our plan
(34:27):
to deliver the greatest economy and history is for this
Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
They're in there, they're waiting for you to vote.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
And I'm sure that the people on my right I
don't mean the Republican right, but my right right here.
I'm sure you're going to vote for those tax cuts,
because otherwise I don't believe the people will ever vote
you into office.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So I'm doing a big favor by telling you that.
But I know this group is going to be voting
for the tax thank you. It's a very, very big
(35:13):
part of our plan.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
We had tremendous success in our first term with it.
A very big part of our plan. We're seeking permanent
income tax cuts all across the board, and to get
urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation.
I'm calling for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
And I also.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Want to make interest payments on Carloan's tax deductible, but
only if the car is made in America. And by
the way, we're gonna have growth in the auto industry
(36:16):
like nobody's ever seen. Plants are opening up all over
the place. Deals are being made never seen. That's a
combination of the election win and tariffs. It's a beautiful word,
isn't it, That, along with our other policies, will allow
our auto industry to absolutely boom.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It's going to boom.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Spoke to the majors today, all three the top people,
and they're so excited. In fact, already numerous car companies
have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants
in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana,
one of the largest anywhere in the world. And this
(37:06):
has taken place since our great victory on November fifth,
a date which will hopefully go down as one of
the most important in the history of our country. In addition,
as part of our tax cuts, we want to cut
taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing, and just as
(37:30):
we did before, we will provide one hundred percent expensing.
It will be retroactive to January twentieth, twenty twenty five.
And it was one of the main reasons why our
tax cuts were so successful in our first term, giving
us the most successful economy in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
First turn, we had a great first term.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
If you don't make your product in America. However, under
the Trump administration, you will pay a tariff, and in
some cases a rather large one. Other countries have used
tariffs against US for decades, and now it's our turn
to start using them against those other countries. On average,
the European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Canada.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Have you heard of them?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
And countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than
we charge them.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
It's very unfair.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
India charges US auto tariffs higher than one hundred percent.
China's average tariff on our products is twice what we
charge them, and South Korea's average tariff is four times higher.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Think of that, four times higher.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
And we give so much help militarily in so many
other ways to South Korea. But that's what happens. This
is happening by friend and foe. This sys is not
fair to the United States and never was. And so
on April second, I wanted to make it April first,
but I didn't want to be accused of April Fool's Day.
(39:12):
That's what that's not just one day was of course,
there's a lot of money, but we're going to do
it in April. I'm a very superstitious person. April second,
reciprocal tariffs kick in, and whatever they tariff us.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Other countries, we will tariff them. That's reciprocal back and forth.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Whatever they tax us, we will tax them. If they
do non monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market,
then we will do non monetary barriers to keep them
out of our market.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
There's a lot of that too. They don't even allow
us in their market.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
We will take in trillions and trillions of dollar and
create jobs like we have never seen before. I did
it with China, and I did it with others, and
the Biden administration couldn't do anything about it because there
was so much money, they couldn't do anything about it.
We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every
country on earth, and we will not let that happen
(40:19):
any longer. Much has been said over the last three
months about Mexico and Canada, but we have very large
deficits with both of them. But even more importantly, they've
(40:40):
allowed fentanoyl to come into our country at levels never
seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and
many very young, beautiful people.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Destroying families. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
They are, in effect receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions
of dollars. We pay subsidies to Canada and New Mexico
of hundreds of billions of dollars. In the United States
will not be doing that any longer. We're not going
to do it any longer. Thanks to our America First
(41:17):
policies we're putting into place. We have had one point
seven trillion dollars of new investment in America in just
the past few weeks, the combination.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Of the election.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
And our economic policies that people of SoftBank, what are
the most brilliant anywhere in the world, announced a two
hundred billion dollar investment.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Open Ai and Oracle Larry.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Ellison announced five hundred billion dollar investment, which they wouldn't
have done if Kamala had won. Apple announced five hundred
billion dollar investment. Tim Cook called me. He said, I
cannot spend it fast enough. It's going to be much
(42:03):
higher than that. I believe be building their plants here
instead of in China. And just yesterday Taiwan Semiconductor, the
biggest in the world, most powerful in the world, has
a tremendous amount. Ninety seven percent of the market announced
a one hundred and sixty five billion dollar investment to
build the most powerful chips on earth right here in
(42:25):
the USA.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
And we're not giving them any money. Your chips ACKed
is a horrible, horrible thing.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
We give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't
mean a thing. They take our money and they don't
spend it. All that meant to them, We're giving them
no money. All that was important to them was they
didn't want to pay the tariffs, so they came in,
they're building, and.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Many other companies that come. We don't have to give
them money.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
We just want to protect our businesses and our people,
and they will come because they won't have to pay
tariffs if they build in America. So it's very amazing.
You should get rid of the Chip Act and whatever's leftover,
mister speaker, you should use it to reduce that or
any other reason you want to. A new trade policy
(43:34):
will also be great for the American farmer. I love
the farmer.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Who will now be selling.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Into our home market, the USA, because nobody is going.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
To be able to compete with you.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Because there's goods that come in from other countries and companies.
They're really, really in a bad position in so many
different ways. They're uninspected, they may be very dirty and disgusting,
and they come in and they pour in and they
hurt our American farmers. The tariffs will go on agricultural
(44:13):
product coming into America and our farmers starting on April second.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
It may be a little bit of an adjustment period.
We had that before when I made the deal with
China fifty billion dollars of purchases, and I said, just
bear with me, and they did. They did. Probably have
to bear with me again, and this will be even better.
That was great. The problem with it was that Biden
didn't enforce it. He didn't enforce it.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Fifty billion dollars of purchases and we were doing great,
but Biden did.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Not enforce it, and it hurt our farmers.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
But our farmers are going to have a field day
right now, So to our farmers have a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
I love you too, I love you too. It's all
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
And I have also imposed a twenty five percent tariff
on foreign aluminum, copper, lumber, and steel because if we
don't have as an example, steel and lots of other things.
We don't have any military, and frankly won't have We
just won't have a country very long. Here today is
a proud American steel worker, fantastic person from Decatur, Alabama.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Jeff Denard.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Has been working at the same steel plant for twenty
seven years, and a job that has allowed him to
serve as the captain of his local volunteer fire department,
raised seven children with his beautiful wife, Nicole, and over
the years, provide a loving home for more than forty
foster children.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
So great yet, Thank you, Jain, Thank you Jeff.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Stories like Jeff's remind us that tariffs are not just
about protecting American jobs. They're about protecting the soul of
our country. Tariffs are about making America rich again and
making America great again. And it's happening, and it will
happen rather quickly. There'll be a little disturbance, but we're
(46:34):
okay with that.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
It won't be much. No, you're not. And look and.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Look where Biden took us very low, the lowest we've
ever been.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Jeff.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I want to thank you very much, and I also
want to recognize another person who has devoted herself to
Forster care community. She works so hard on it, a
very loving person. Our magnificent first Lady of the I
had said. Melonia's work has yielded incredible results, helping prepare
(47:23):
our nation's future leaders as they enter the workforce. Our
First Lady is joined by two impressive young women, very
impressive Haley Ferguson.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Who benefited from the First Lady's.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
Fostering the Future initiative and it is poised to complete
our education become a teacher. And Elliston Berry, who became
a victim of an illicit deep fake image produced by
a peer with Elliston's help. The Senate just passed the
Take It Down Act, and.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
This is so important.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Thank you very much, John, John, thank you, stand up, John,
thank you, Jenny, thank you all very much. Thank you,
and thank you to John Thune and the Senate. Great
(48:21):
job to criminalize the publication of such images online as
a terrible, terrible thing. And once it passes the House,
I look forward to signing that bill into law.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Thank you. And I'm going to use that bill for
myself too, if you don't mind, because.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Nobody gets treated worse than I do online, Nobody that's great,
Thank you very much to the Senate, thank you. But
if we truly care about protecting Americans children, no step
is more crucial than securing America's borders. Over the past
four years, twenty one million people poured into the United States.
(49:00):
Many of them were murders, human traffickers, gang members, and
other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities all throughout
the world. Because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous
open border policies, they are now strongly embedded in our country.
But we are getting them out and getting them out fast.
(49:36):
And I want to thank Tom Holman and Christy I
want to thank you, and Paul of Border Patrol.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I want to thank you. What a job they've all done.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
Everybody Border patrol, ice, law enforcement in general is incredible.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
We have to take care of our law enforcement. Have to.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
Last year, a brilliant twenty two year old nursing student
named Laken Riley, the best in her class, admired by everybody,
went out for a jog on the campus of the
University of Georgia. That morning, lacn was viciously attacked, assault
(50:22):
had beaten, brutalized, and horrifically murdered. Lacn was stolen from
US by a savage illegal alien gang member who was
arrested while trespassing across Biden's open southern border and then
set loose into the United States under the heartless policies
of that failed administration.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
It was indeed a failed administration.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat
run sanctuary city, a disaster before ending the life of
this beautiful young angel.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
With us this.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Evening are Lacan's beloved mother, Alison and her sister Lauren.
(51:29):
Last year, I told Lacan's grieving parents that we would
ensure their daughter would not have died in vain. That's
why the very first bill I signed into law as
your forty seventh President mandates the detention of all dangerous
criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
It's very strong, powerful act. It's called the Lacan Riley Act.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
So Alison and Lauren, America will never ever forget our
beautiful Lacn. Hope, Rilly, thank you very much. Since taking office,
(52:38):
my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration
crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest
numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded. Thank you, the
(53:10):
media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying
we needed new legislation.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
We must have.
Speaker 1 (53:16):
Legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that
all we really needed was a new president.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (53:48):
Joe Biden didn't just open our borders. He flew illegal
aliens over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, and communities
throughout the country.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
Entire towns like Aurora.
Speaker 1 (54:00):
Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio buckled under the weight of the
migrant occupation and corruption like nobody's ever seen before. Beautiful
towns destroyed. Now, just as I promised in my inaugural address,
we are achieving the great liberation of America, but they're
(54:29):
still is much work to be done here tonight is
a woman I have gotten to know, Alexis Nungary from Houston,
wonderful woman. Last June, Alexis's twelve year old daughter, her
precious Joscelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store. She was kidnapped,
(54:51):
tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge, and
horrifically murdered. Arrested in charged with this heinous crime. Are
to illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by
the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
The death of this beautiful.
Speaker 1 (55:11):
Twelve year old girl and the agony of her mother
and family touched our entire nation greatly. Alexis, I promised
that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter,
and earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word
to you. One thing I've learned about Jocelyn is that
(55:33):
she loved animals so much.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
She loved nature.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
Across Galveston Bay from where Joscelyn lived in Houston, you'll
find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine, peaceful, thirty
four thousand acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures on
the edge of the Gulf of America. Alexis, moments ago,
(55:59):
I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful.
Speaker 2 (56:05):
Daughter, Jocelyn. So, mister Vice President, if you would, may
I have the order. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Lincoln's murders were
members of the Venezuelan prison gang, the toughest gang they
say in the world, known as Trendy Iragua. Two weeks ago,
I officially designated this gang, along with MS thirteen and
the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels, as foreign terrorists organizations. They
(57:27):
are now officially in the same category as ISIS, and
that's not good for them. Countless thousands of these terrorists
were welcomed into the US by the Biden administration, but
now every last one will be rounded up and forcibly
removed from our country, or, if they're too dangerous, put
(57:49):
in jail's standing trial in this country, because we don't
want them to come back ever with us. This evening
is a warrior on the front lines of that battle.
Border patrol agent Roberto Ortiz, great guy. In January, Berto
(58:32):
another age patrolling by Rio Grande near an area known
as Cartel Island.
Speaker 2 (58:38):
Doesn't sound too nice to me.
Speaker 1 (58:41):
When heavily armed gunman started shooting at them, Roberto saw
that his partner was totally exposed great danger, and he
leapt into action, returning fire and providing crucial seconds for
his fellow agent to seek safe safety.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Just and just barely.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
I have some of the prince of that event, and
it was not good, agent or ties. We salute you
for your great courage and for your line of fire
that you took and for the bravery that you showed,
we honor you and we will always honor you.
Speaker 2 (59:18):
Thank you, Roberto very much. Thank you ROBERTA.
Speaker 1 (59:38):
And I actually got to know him on my many
calls to the border.
Speaker 2 (59:43):
He's a great, great gentleman.
Speaker 1 (59:46):
The territory to the immediate south of our border is
now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture,
and exercise total control.
Speaker 2 (59:56):
They have total control over a.
Speaker 1 (59:58):
Whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security.
The cartels are waging war in America, and it's time
for America to wage war on the cartels, which we
all drive five nights ago Mexican authorities because of our
(01:00:27):
tariff policies being imposed on that. Think of this hand
it over to us twenty nine of the biggest cartel
leaders in their country. That has never happened before. They
want to make us happy, first time ever. But we
need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done,
(01:00:50):
and they have to stop the fentanyl and drugs pouring
into the USA.
Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
They're going to stop it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
I have said Congress a detailed funding requests laying out
exactly how we will eliminate these threats to protect our
homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history,
larger even than current record holder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
a moderate man, but someone who believed very strongly in borders.
(01:01:21):
Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay
so I can sign it into law. So, mister Speaker,
John Thune, both of you, I hope you're going to
be able to do that. Mister Speaker, thank you, mister Leader,
thank you, thank you very much. And let's get it
to me. I'll sign it so fast you won't even
(01:01:41):
believe it. And as we reclaim our sovereignty, we must
also bring back law and order to our cities and towns.
(01:02:11):
In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside
down by radical left lunatics. Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing
the law against dangers, repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement
against political opponents like me. My administration has acted swiftly
(01:02:36):
and decisively to restore fair, equal and impartial justice under
the constitutional rule of law, starting at the FBI and
the DOJ.
Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Pam good Luck Cash wherever you may be. Good luck,
good luck Pamband good luck, so important, gonna do a
great job.
Speaker 8 (01:03:02):
Cash, Thank you, Thank you, Cash.
Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
They've already started very strong. They're gonna do a fantastic job.
You're gonna be very proud of them. We're also once
again giving our police officers the support, protection and respect
they so dearly deserve.
Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
They have to get it.
Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
They have such a hard, dangerous job, but we're gonna
make it less dangerous. The problem is the bad guys
don't respect the law, but they're starting to respect it,
and they soon will respect it. This also includes our
great fire departments throughout the country. Our firemen and women
are unbelievable people and will never forget them. And besides that,
(01:03:52):
they voted for me in record numbers, so I have
no sare.
Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
One year ago this.
Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Month, thirty one year old New York Police officer Jonathan Diller,
unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer, was gunned down
at a traffic stop on Long Island.
Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
I went to his funeral.
Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
The vicious criminal charge with his murder had twenty one
prior arrests, and they were rough arrests.
Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
He was a real bad one.
Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
The thug in the seat next to him had fourteen
prior arrests and went by the name of killer.
Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
He was killer. He killed other people, they say a
lot of them.
Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
I attended Officer Diller's service, and when I met his
wife and one year old son, Ryan, it was very inspirational. Actually,
his widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight. Stephanie.
Thank you very much, Stephanie. Thank you, Stephanie. We're going
(01:05:18):
to make sure that Ryan knows his dead was a
true hero New York's finest. And we're going to get
these cold blooded killers and repeat offenders or far streets.
Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
So we're going to do it fast. Got to stop it.
Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
They get out with twenty eight arrests, They push people
into subway trains, they hit people over the head, back
of the head.
Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
With baseball bats. We've got to get them out of here.
Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death
penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight
I'm asking Congers to pass that policy in Department law.
(01:06:09):
I'm also asking for a new crime bill, getting tough
on repeat offenders while enhancing protections.
Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
For America's police officers.
Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
So they can do their jobs without fear of their
lives being totally destroyed.
Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
They don't want to be killed. We're not going to
let them be killed.
Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
Joining us at the gallery tonight is a young man
who truly loves our police.
Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
His name is DJ Daniel. He is thirteen years.
Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Old and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
(01:07:23):
But 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. Since that time,
(01:07:58):
DJ and his dad that have been on a quest
to make his dream come true, and DJ has been
sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a
number of times.
Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Peace.
Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
The police love him, the police departments love him. And tonight, DJ,
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Kerran
to officially make you an agent of the United States
Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Thank you, DJ.
Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
DJ's doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical
he was exposed to when he was younger. Since nineteen
seventy five, rates of child cancer have increased by more
than forty percent. Reversing this trend is one of the
top priorities for our new Presidential Commission to Make America
(01:09:40):
Healthy Again, chaired by our new Secretary of Health and
Human Services, Robert F.
Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
With the name Kennedy. You would have thought everybody over
here would have been cheering.
Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
How quickly they forget.
Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment,
poisons out of our food supply, and keep our children
healthy and strong. As an example, not long ago, and
you can't even believe these numbers, one in ten thousand
children had autism, one in ten thousand, and now it's
(01:10:39):
one in thirty six. There's something wrong, one in thirty six.
Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Think of that. So we're going to find out what
it is. And there's nobody better than Bobby and all
of the people that are working with you. You have
the best.
Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
To figure out what is going on.
Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Okay, Bobby, good luck. It's a very important job. Thank you,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
My administration is also working to protect our children from
toxic ideologies in our schools. A few years ago, January,
Little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's school
had secretly socially transitioned their thirteen.
Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Year old little girl.
Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband
while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns.
Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
They them pronoun actually or without.
Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Telling January, who is here tonight and is now a
courageous advocate against this form of child abuse.
Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
January, thank you, Thank you, thank you moment, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Stories like this are why shortly after taking office, I
signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our
children with transgender ideology. I also signed an order to
(01:12:33):
cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages
in the sexual mutilation of our youth. And now I
want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing
(01:12:53):
sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that
any child is trapped in the wrong body.
Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
This is a big lie.
Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
And our message to every child in America is that
you are perfect, exactly the way God made you. Because
(01:13:30):
we're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of
our military, and it's already out, and it's out of
our society.
Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
We don't want it.
Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Wokeness is trouble, Wokeness is bad. It's gone, it's gone,
and we feel so much better for it.
Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Don't we don't we feel better?
Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Our service members won't be activists and ideologues. They will
be fighters, warriors, They will fight for our country.
Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
And Pete congratulations secret there of defense congradulation. And he's
not big into the woke movement. I can tell you
I know him well.
Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
I am pleased to report that in January the US
Army had its single best recruiting month in fifteen years,
and that all armed services are having among the best
recruiting results ever in the history of our services.
Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
What are difference?
Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
And you know it was just a few months ago
where the results were exactly the opposite. We couldn't recruit anywhere,
we couldn't recruit.
Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Now we're having the.
Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Best results just about that we've ever had. What a
tremendous turnaround. It's really a beautiful thing to see people
love our country again.
Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
It's very simple.
Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
They love our country and they love being in our
military again. So it's a great thing, and thank you
very much.
Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Great job.
Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Were joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who
knows the weight of that call of duty. Jason's father, grandfather,
and great grandfather all wore the uniform. Jason tragically lost
his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's
deputy when he was just a boy, and now he
(01:15:46):
wants to carry on the family legacy of service. Jason
is a senior in high school, a six letter varsity athlete,
a really good athlete, they say, a brilliant student with
a four point four six.
Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
That's good ea.
Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
And his greatest dream is to attend the US Military
Academy at West Point. And Jason, that's a very big
(01:16:33):
deal getting in. That's a hard one to get into.
But I'm pleased to inform you that your application has
been accepted.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
You will soon be joining the Court kit out.
Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Thank you, JASONID You're going to be on the long
gray line.
Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
Jason.
Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
As Commander in Chief, my focus is on building the
most powerful military of the future. As a first step,
I'm asking Congress to fund a state of the art
Golden Dome missile defense shield to protect our homeland, all
made in the USA. And Ronald Reagan wanted to do
(01:17:49):
it long ago, but the technology just wasn't there, not
even close.
Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
But now we have the technology. It's incredible actually.
Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
And other places they have it Israel, as other places
have it, and the United States should have a to right,
tim right, they should have it too. So I want
to thank you, but it's a very very important This
is a very dangerous world.
Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
We should have it.
Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
We want to be protected, and we're going to protect
our citizens like never before.
Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
To boost our.
Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the
American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding.
Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
And military shipbuilding.
Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
And for that purpose, I'm announcing tonight that we will
create a new Office of Shipbuilding in the White House
and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home
to America where it belongs. We used to make so
many ships. We don't make them anymore very much, but
we're going to make them very fast, very soon. It
(01:18:57):
will have a huge impact to further enhance our national security.
My administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we've
already started doing it. Just today, a large American company
(01:19:18):
announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal
and lots of other things having to do with the.
Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Panama Canal and a couple of other canals. The Panama
Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others,
but others could use it, but it was built at
tremendous cost of American blood and treasure. Thirty eight thousand
workers died building the Panama Canal.
Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
They died of malaria, they died of snake bites and mosquitoes.
Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Not a nice place to work.
Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
They paid them very highly to go there, knowing there
was a twenty five percent chance that they would die.
Defensive project also that was ever built in our country's history.
If you're bringing up to modern day costs. It was
given away by the Carter administration for one dollar. But
that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn't give
(01:20:15):
it to China, we gave it to Panamon. We're taking
it back.
Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Now we have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck Marco.
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.
Marco has been amazing and he's going to do a
great job.
Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Think of it. He got one hundred votes.
Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
You know, he was approved with actually ninety nine, but
the one hundredth was this gentleman, and I feel very certain.
Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
So let's assume we got one hundred votes.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
And I'm either very very happy about that or I'm
very concerned about it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
But he's already proven. I mean, he's a great gentleman.
Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
He's respected by everybody, and we appreciate you voting for Marco.
Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
He's going to do a fantastic job. Thank you, Thank you.
He's doing a great job. Great job.
Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
And I also have a message tonight for the incredible
people of Greenland. We strongly support your right to determine
your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you
into the United States of America. We need Greenland for
national security and even international security, and we're working with
(01:21:46):
everybody involved to.
Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Try and get it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
But we need it really for international world security, and
I think we're going to get it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
One way or the other. We're going to get it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
We will keep if you say, we will make you rich,
and together we will take Greenland to heights like you
have never thought possible before. It's a very small population,
but very very large piece of land and very very
important for military security. America is once again standing strong
against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism. Three and a
(01:22:24):
half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed thirteen American service members
and countless others in.
Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
The Abbey Gate bombing.
Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
During the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
Not that they were withdrawing, it was the way they.
Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of
our country.
Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
Tonight, I'm please to announce that we have just.
Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
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. And I want to thank
(01:23:23):
especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
This was a very momentous day for those thirteen families
who I actually got to know very well, most of
them whose children were murdered, and the many people that
were so badly over forty two people so badly injured
(01:23:44):
on that faithful day in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
What a horrible day. Such incompetence was.
Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
Shown that when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, wow,
maybe this is my chance. That's how bad it was.
Had never happened grossly incompetent people. I spoke to many
of the parents and loved ones, and they're all in
our hearts tonight. I spoke to them on the phone.
(01:24:13):
We had a big call. Every one of them called
and everybody was on the line and they did nothing
but cry with happiness. They were very happy, as happy
as you can be under those circumstances. Their child, brother, sister, son,
daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever. In the Middle East,
(01:24:38):
we're bringing back our hostages from Gaza. In my first term,
we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in generations,
the Abraham Accords.
Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
And now we're going to build on that foundation to.
Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
Create a more peaceful and prosperous future for the entire region.
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
People haven't been talking about that so much lately with
everything going on with Ukraine and Russia, but a lot
of things are happening in the Middle East, rough neighborhood. Actually,
I'm also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
(01:25:32):
Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or
wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end
in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions
of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security.
Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
With no overthing. Do you want to keep it going
for another five years?
Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
Yeah, yeah, you would say Pocahonta says, yes, two thousand
people are being killed every single week.
Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
More than that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
They're Russian young people, they're Ukrainian young people. They're not Americans.
But I wanted to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent
more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent.
Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
On defending Ukraine by far.
Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
Think of that, They've spent more buying Russian oil and
gas than they have defending And we've spent perhaps three
hundred and fifty billion dollars, like taking candy from a baby,
that's what happened, and they've spent one hundred billion dollars.
What a difference that is. And we have a notion
(01:27:07):
separating us and they don't. But we're getting along very
well with them, and lots of good things are happening.
Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe
has spent, by.
Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Billions and billions of dollars. It's hard to believe that
they wouldn't have stopped it and said, at.
Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
Some point, come on, let's equalize. You've got to be
equal to us. But that didn't happen. Earlier today I
received an important letter from President Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Of Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come to the
negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said. My
team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's
strong leadership to get a piece that lasts. We do
(01:27:59):
really value you how much America has done to help
Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. Regarding the agreement on
Minerals and Security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at
any time that is convenient for you.
Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it
a little while ago.
Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received
strong signals that they are ready for peace.
Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that
be beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
It's time to stop this madness. It's time to halt
the killing. It's time to end the senseless war. If
you want to end wars, you have to off to
both sides. Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions, a
history teacher named Mark Voegel was detained in Russia and
sentenced to fourteen years in a penal colony rough stuff.
(01:29:15):
The previous administration barely lifted a finger to help him.
Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
They knew he was innocent, but they had no idea
where to begin.
Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
But last summer I promised his ninety five year old mother, Malphine,
that we would bring her boy safely back home after
twenty two days in office. I did just that, and
they are here tonight to Mark and his great mom.
(01:30:22):
We are delighted to have you safe and sound and
with us. As fate would have it. Mark Vogel was
born in a small rural town in Butler, Pennsylvania. Have
you heard of it? Where his mother has lived for
the past seventy eight years. I just happened to go
(01:30:42):
there last July thirteenth for a.
Speaker 9 (01:30:44):
Rally that was not pleasant, and that is where I
met his beautiful mom right before I walked onto that stage,
and I told her I would not forget what she
said about her son, and I never did.
Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
Did I never forgot.
Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Less than ten minutes later, at that same rally, gunfire
rang out and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight
bullets from his sniper's perch into a crowd of many
thousands of people. My life was saved by a fraction
of an inch, but some were not so lucky. Corey Comparatore,
(01:31:31):
was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian, a husband, a
devoted father, and above all, a protector.
Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
When the sound of gunshots pierced the air.
Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Was a horrible sound, Corey knew instantly what it was
and what to do. He threw himself on top of
his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets
with his own body.
Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Corey was hit hard. You know the story.
Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
From there, he sacrificed his life to save theirs. Two others,
very fine people, were also seriously hit, but thankfully, with
the help of two great country doctors. We thought they
were gone and they were saved. So those doctors had
great talent. Were joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who was
(01:32:26):
his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved daughters, Alison
and KAYLEI.
Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
To Helen, Allison and Kaylee. Corey is looking down on
his three beautiful ladies right now, and he is cheering
you on.
Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
He loves you, He is cheering you on.
Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
Corey was taken from us much too soon, but his
destiny was to leave us all with a shining example
of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot. It
was love like Corey's that built our country, and it's
love like Corey's that is going to make our country
more majestic than ever before. I believe that my life
(01:33:42):
was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason.
Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
I was saved by God to make America great again.
I believe that.
Speaker 10 (01:33:54):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (01:34:14):
From the patriots of Lexington and Concord, to the heroes
of Gettysburg and Normandy, from the warriors who crossed the Delaware,
to the trail blazers who climbed the Rockies, and from
the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts
who touched the moon. Americans have always been the people
(01:34:35):
who defied all arts, transcended all dangers, made the most
extraordinary sacrifices, and did whatever it took to defend our children,
our country, and our freedom. And as we have seen
in this chamber tonight, that same strength, faith, love, and
spirit is still alive and thriving in the hearts of
(01:34:57):
the American people. Despite the best efforts of those who
would try to censor us, silence us, break us, destroy us.
Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign, and independent nation
that will always.
Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
Be free, and we will fight for it till death.
Speaker 1 (01:35:17):
We will never let anything happen to our beloved country,
because we are a country of doers, dreamers, fighters, and survivors.
Our ancestors crossed a vast ocean, strode into the unknown wilderness,
and carved their fortunes from the rock and soil of
a perilous and very dangerous frontier. They chased our destiny
(01:35:42):
across a boundless continent. They built the railroads, laid the highways,
and grace the world with American marbles like the Empire
State Building, the mighty Hoover Dam, and the towering Golden
gate Bridge. They lit the world with electrics, broke free
of the force of gravity, fired up the engines of
(01:36:05):
American industry, vanquished the communists, Fascists, and Marxists all over
the world, and gave us countless modern wonders sculpted out
of iron, glass, and steel. We stand on the shoulders
of these pioneers who won and built the modern age,
These workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of
(01:36:28):
our cities, These warriors who shed their blood on fields
of battle and gave everything they had for our rights
and for our freedom. Now it is our time to
take up the righteous cause of American liberty, and it
is our turn to take American's destiny into our own
hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history
(01:36:51):
of our country. This will be our greatest era. With
God's help, over the next four years, we are going
to lead the nation even higher, and we are going
to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most
dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this earth.
(01:37:13):
We are going to create the highest quality of life,
build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital
communities anywhere in the world. We are going to conquer
the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to
lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on
(01:37:34):
the planet Mars and even far beyond. And through it all,
(01:37:57):
we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the
American spirit, and we are going to renew unlimited promise
of the American dream.
Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
Every single day we will stand up and.
Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
We will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens
believe in, and.
Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
For the country our people deserve.
Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
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, and God bless America.
Members of the United States Congress, thank you very much,
and to my fellow citizens, America is back. Six weeks ago,
(00:38):
I stood beneath the dome of this capital and proclaimed
the dawn of the Golden Age of America. From that
moment dawn, there's been nothing but swift and unrelenting action
to usher in the greatest and most successful era in
the history of our country. We have accomplished more in
(01:00):
forty three days than most administrations accomplished in four.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Years or eight years, and we are just getting started.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
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. The American dream is unstoppable,
(01:53):
and our country is on the verge of a comeback
the likes of which the world has never witnessed and
perhaps will never witness again.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's never been anything like it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The presidential election of November fifth was a mandate like
has not been seen in many decades. We won all
seven swing states, giving us an electoral College rectory.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Of three hundred and twelve votes.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We won the popular vote by big numbers and won
counties in our country and one counties in our country
(03:14):
two thousand, seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
To five twenty five.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Or a map that reads almost completely read for Republican. Now,
for the first time in modern history, more Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Believe that our country is headed in the right.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Direction than the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
In fact, it's an astonishing record twenty seven point swing,
the most ever. Likewise, Small Business Optimisms are its single
(04:03):
largest one month game ever recorded, a forty one point jump.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in
the House and to cease any further disruptions. That's your warning.
Members are engaging in wilfland continuing breach of the quorum,
and the Chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant at
Arms to restore order to the joint session. Mister Green,
(05:00):
take your seat. Take your seat, sir, take your seat.
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concert
the disruption or proper to quorum, the Chair now directs
the Sergeant at Arms to restore order remove this gentleman
from the chamber. Members are directed to uphold and maintain
(05:58):
the quorum in the House. That's President, you continue.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly one
hundred executive orders and taken more than four hundred executive
actions or record to restore common sense, safety, optimism, and
wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected me
to do the job, and I'm doing it. In fact,
(06:44):
it has been stated by many that the first month
of our presidency, it's our presidency is the most.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Successful in the history of our nation by men enough.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And what makes it even more impressive is that, do
you know who number two is?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
George Washington? How about that? How about it? I don't
know about that list, but we'll take it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared
a national emergency on our southern border, and I deployed
the US military and border patrol to repel.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
The invasion of our country. And what a job they've done.
As a result.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest
ever recorded ever.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
They heard my words, and they chose not to come.
Much easier that way.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history,
there were hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings a month,
and virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members,
and people from mental institutions and insane asylums were released
(08:28):
into our country.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Who would want to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once
again I look at the Democrats in front of me,
and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say
to make them happy, or to make them stand or
smile or applaud.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out
entire nations, or announce the answers to the greatest economy
and history, or the stoppage of crime to the lowest
levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here will
not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer
(09:12):
for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it, no matter
what five times I've been up here. It's very sad
and it just shouldn't be this well, So, Democrats sitting
(09:44):
before me, for just this one night, why not join
us and celebrating so many incredible wins for America.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
For the good of our nation.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
(10:16):
Every day my administration is fighting to deliver the change
America needs to bring a future that America deserves, and
we're doing it. This is a time for big dreams
and bold action. Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate
freeze on all federal hiring, a freeze on all new
(10:38):
federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid. I
terminated the ridiculous Green New scam. I withdrew from the
unfair Paris Climate Accord, which was costing US trillions of
(11:03):
dollars that other countries were not paided.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I withdrew from the corrupt World.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Health Organization, and I also withdrew from the anti American
UN Human Rights Council. We ended all of Biden's environmental
restrictions that were making our country far less safe and
(11:34):
totally unaffordable.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And importantly, we ended.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The last administrations insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto
workers and companies from economic destruction.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
To our in shackle our economy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
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 in that first term,
(12:24):
we set records on ending unnecessary rules and regulations like
no other president had done before we ordered all federal
workers to return to the office.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
They will either show up for work in person or
be removed from their job.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And we have ended weaponized government, where as an example,
a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political
opponent like me.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
How did that work out? Not too good? Not too good?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back
free speech in America.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's back.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And two days ago I signed an order making English
the official language of the United States of America. I
renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, and
(14:08):
likewise I renamed for a great President, William McKinley, Mount
McKinley again, Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Alaska, Love al Act.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We've ended the tyranny of so called diversity, equity, and
inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed
the private sector, at our military.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And our country will be woke no longer.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant,
a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be
hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race
or gender. Very important, you should be hired based on
(15:20):
merit and the Supreme Court, in a brave and very
powerful decision, has allowed us to do so.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Thank you, Thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We have removed the poison of critical race theory from
our public schools, and I signed in order making it
the official policy of the United States government that there
are only two genders, male and female. I also signed
(16:03):
an executive order to ben men from playing in women's sports.
Three years ago, Peyton McNabb was an all star high
(16:26):
school athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future
in college sports. But when her girl's volleyball match was
invaded by a male, he smashed the ball so hard
in Peyton's face, causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her
right side and ending her athletic career. It was a
(16:49):
shot like she's never seen before. She's never seen anything
like it. Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton.
From now on, schools will kick the men off the
girls team, or they will lose all federal funding. And
(17:31):
if you really want to see numbers, just take a
look at what happened in the woman's boxing, weightlifting, track
and field, swimming, or cycling where a male recently finished
a long distance race five hours and fourteen minutes ahead
of a woman for a new record by five hours.
(17:51):
Broke the record by five hours. It's the meaning for women,
and it's very bad for our country. We're not going
to put up with it any longer. What I have
(18:16):
just described is only a small fraction of the common
sense revolution that is now because of us sweeping the
entire world. Common sense has become a common theme.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And we will never go back, never, never going to
let that happen.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy
and get dramatic and immediate relief to work in families.
As you know, we inherited from the last administration an
economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare. Their policies drove up
(18:56):
energy prices, pushed up grocery costs, and drove the necessities
of life out of reach for millions and millions of Americans.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I've never had anything like it.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
We suffered the worst inflation in forty eight years. But
perhaps even in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
They're not sure.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
As president, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage
and make America affordable again. Joe Biden, especially let the
(19:38):
price of eggs get out of control, the egg prices
out of control, and we're working hard to get it
back down.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Secretary, do a good job on that.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You inherited a total mess from the previous administration.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Do a good job.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
A major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is
rapidly reducing the cost of energy. The previous administration cut
the number of new oil and gas leases by ninety five,
slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than
one hundred power plants.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
We are opening up many of those power plants right.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Now, and frankly, we have never seen anything like it.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's why on my first day in office, I declared
a national energy emergency. As you've heard me say many times,
we have more liquid gold under our feet than any
nation on Earth and by far, and now I fully
authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and
(21:04):
get it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's called Drill, Baby, Drill.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas
pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan,
South Korea and other nations want to be our partner,
with investments of trillions of dollars each. It's never been
anything like that one. It will be truly spectacular. It's
all set to go. The permittinggu has gotten and later
(21:44):
this week I will also take historic action to dramatically
expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in
the USA.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
To further combat inflation.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
We will not only be reducing the course of energy,
but will be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.
And to that end, I have created the brand new
Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
GO perhaps you've heard of it perhaps, which is headed
by Elon Musk Poison the gallery tonight.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Thank you, Elion. He's working very hard. He didn't need this,
he didn't need this.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Everybody here, even
this side, appreciates it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
They just don't want to admit that. Just listen to
some of the appalling waste. We have already identified twenty
two billion dollars from HHS to provide free housing and
cars for illegal aliens, forty five million dollars for diversity,
equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, forty million dollars to
(23:45):
improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Nobody knows what that is. Eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
To promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesuto,
which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million dollars for
indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America. Sixty
million dollars, eight million dollars for making mice transgender.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This is real.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Thirty two million dollars for a left wing propaganda operation
in Roldova, ten million dollars for mail circumcision in Mozambique,
twenty million dollars for the Arab Sesame Street in the
Middle East. It's a program. Twenty million dollars for program
(24:46):
one point nine billion dollars to recently created decarbonization of
homes committee headed up and we know she's involved. Just
at the last moment the money was passed over by
a woman named Stacy Abrams.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Have you ever heard of her?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
A three point five million dollar consulting contract for Lavish
fish monitoring. One point five million dollars for voter confidence
in Liberia, fourteen million dollars for social cohesion in Mali.
Fifty nine million dollars for legal alien hotel rooms in
(25:27):
New York City. He's a real estate developm He's done
very well. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to increase
vagan local climate action innovation in Zambia, forty two million
dollars for social and behavior change in Uganda, fourteen million
(25:49):
dollars for improving public procurement in Serbia, forty seven million
dollars for improving learning outcomes in Asia. Is doing very
well with learning. You know what we're doing. We should
use it ourselves. At one hundred and one million dollars
for DEI contracts at the Department of Education, the most
(26:13):
ever paid nothing even like it under the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
All of these scams, and.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
They're far worse, but I didn't think it was appropriate
to talk about them.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
They're so bad.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Many more have been found out and exposed and swiftly
terminated by a group of very intelligent, mostly young people
headed up by Elon and we appreciate it. We found
hundreds of billions of dollars of.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Fraud, and we've taken back the money and reduced our
debt to fight inflation and other things.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Taking back a lot of that money. We got it
just in time. This is just the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
The Government Accountability Office a Federal government office has estimated
annual fraud of over five hundred billion dollars in our nation,
and we are working very hard to stop it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We're going to We're also a competence and.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Social security program for our seniors, and that our seniors.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
And people that we love rely on.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Believe it or not, government databases list four point seven
million social security members from people aged one hundred to
one hundred nine years old. It lists three point six
million people from ages one hundred and ten to one
(27:58):
hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I don't know any of it.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I know some people that are rather elderly, but not
quite that elderly. Three point four seven million people from
ages one hundred and twenty to one hundred and twenty nine,
three point nine million people from ages one hundred and
thirty to one hundred and thirty nine, three point five
(28:23):
million people from ages one hundred and forty to one
hundred and forty nine, and money is being paid to
many of them, and we're searching right now.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
In fact, Pam, good luck, good luck, You're going to
find it.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
But a lot of money is paid out to people
because it just keeps getting paid and paid, and nobody
does and it really hurts social security and hurts our country.
One point three million people from ages one hundred and
fifty to one hundred and fifty nine and over one
hundred and thirtyty thousand people according to the Social Security databases,
(29:06):
our age over one hundred and sixty years old. We
have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby, including to
(29:33):
finish one thousand and 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 three hundred and sixty years of age, more
than one hundred years, more than one hundred years older
(29:55):
than our country. But we're going to find out where
that money is going, and it's not going to be pretty.
By slashing all of the fraud, waste, and theft we
can find, we will defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates,
lower car payments and grocery prices, protect our seniors, and
(30:15):
put more money in the pockets of American families. And
today interest rates took a beautiful drop, big beautiful drop.
(30:38):
It's about time, and in the near future I want
to do what has not been done in twenty four years,
balance the federal budget.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
We're going to balance it.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
With that goal in mind, we have developed in great
detail what we are calling the Gold Card, which goes
on sale very very soon for five million dollars. We
will allow the most successful job creating people from all
over the world to buy a.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Path to US citizenship.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It's like the Green Card, but better and more sophisticated.
And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
They won't have to pay tax from where they came
the money that they've made.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
You wouldn't want to do that, but they have to
pay tax create jobs.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying
for them so that we can keep them in our
country instead of being forced out number one at the
top school as an example, being forced out and not
being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs
and great success for a company out there.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
So while we take out the.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Criminals, killers, traffickers, and child predators who are allowed to
enter our country under the open border policy of these people,
the Democrats, the Biden administration, the open border insane policies
that you've allowed to destroy our country. We will now
bring in brilliant, hard working, job creating people. They're going
(32:28):
to pay a lot of money, and we're going to
reduce our debt with that money. Americans have given us
a mandate for bold and profound change. For nearly one
(32:50):
hundred years, the federal bureaucracy has grown until it has
crushed our freedom, has ballooned our deficits, and held back
America's potential in every possible way. The nation founded by
pioneers and risk takers now drowns under millions and millions
of pages of regulations and debt approvals that should take
(33:14):
ten days to get instead take ten years, fifteen years,
and even twenty years before you're rejected.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Meanwhile, we have hundreds.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing
up to work. My administration will reclaim power from this
unaccountable bureaucracy and we will restore true democracy to America again,
(33:50):
and any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be
removed from office.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Immediately because we are the SAP.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's very simple, and the days of rule by unelected
bureaucrats are over, and the next phase of our plan
(34:27):
to deliver the greatest economy and history is for this
Congress to pass tax cuts for everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
They're in there, they're waiting for you to vote.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
And I'm sure that the people on my right I
don't mean the Republican right, but my right right here.
I'm sure you're going to vote for those tax cuts,
because otherwise I don't believe the people will ever vote
you into office.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
So I'm doing a big favor by telling you that.
But I know this group is going to be voting
for the tax thank you. It's a very, very big
(35:13):
part of our plan.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
We had tremendous success in our first term with it.
A very big part of our plan. We're seeking permanent
income tax cuts all across the board, and to get
urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially hard by inflation.
I'm calling for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
And I also.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Want to make interest payments on Carloan's tax deductible, but
only if the car is made in America. And by
the way, we're gonna have growth in the auto industry
(36:16):
like nobody's ever seen. Plants are opening up all over
the place. Deals are being made never seen. That's a
combination of the election win and tariffs. It's a beautiful word,
isn't it, That, along with our other policies, will allow
our auto industry to absolutely boom.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It's going to boom.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Spoke to the majors today, all three the top people,
and they're so excited. In fact, already numerous car companies
have announced that they will be building massive automobile plants
in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana,
one of the largest anywhere in the world. And this
(37:06):
has taken place since our great victory on November fifth,
a date which will hopefully go down as one of
the most important in the history of our country. In addition,
as part of our tax cuts, we want to cut
taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing, and just as
(37:30):
we did before, we will provide one hundred percent expensing.
It will be retroactive to January twentieth, twenty twenty five.
And it was one of the main reasons why our
tax cuts were so successful in our first term, giving
us the most successful economy in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
First turn, we had a great first term.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
If you don't make your product in America. However, under
the Trump administration, you will pay a tariff, and in
some cases a rather large one. Other countries have used
tariffs against US for decades, and now it's our turn
to start using them against those other countries. On average,
the European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Canada.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Have you heard of them?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
And countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than
we charge them.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
It's very unfair.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
India charges US auto tariffs higher than one hundred percent.
China's average tariff on our products is twice what we
charge them, and South Korea's average tariff is four times higher.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Think of that, four times higher.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
And we give so much help militarily in so many
other ways to South Korea. But that's what happens. This
is happening by friend and foe. This sys is not
fair to the United States and never was. And so
on April second, I wanted to make it April first,
but I didn't want to be accused of April Fool's Day.
(39:12):
That's what that's not just one day was of course,
there's a lot of money, but we're going to do
it in April. I'm a very superstitious person. April second,
reciprocal tariffs kick in, and whatever they tariff us.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Other countries, we will tariff them. That's reciprocal back and forth.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Whatever they tax us, we will tax them. If they
do non monetary tariffs to keep us out of their market,
then we will do non monetary barriers to keep them
out of our market.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
There's a lot of that too. They don't even allow
us in their market.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
We will take in trillions and trillions of dollar and
create jobs like we have never seen before. I did
it with China, and I did it with others, and
the Biden administration couldn't do anything about it because there
was so much money, they couldn't do anything about it.
We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every
country on earth, and we will not let that happen
(40:19):
any longer. Much has been said over the last three
months about Mexico and Canada, but we have very large
deficits with both of them. But even more importantly, they've
(40:40):
allowed fentanoyl to come into our country at levels never
seen before, killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and
many very young, beautiful people.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Destroying families. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
They are, in effect receiving subsidies of hundreds of billions
of dollars. We pay subsidies to Canada and New Mexico
of hundreds of billions of dollars. In the United States
will not be doing that any longer. We're not going
to do it any longer. Thanks to our America First
(41:17):
policies we're putting into place. We have had one point
seven trillion dollars of new investment in America in just
the past few weeks, the combination.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Of the election.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
And our economic policies that people of SoftBank, what are
the most brilliant anywhere in the world, announced a two
hundred billion dollar investment.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Open Ai and Oracle Larry.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Ellison announced five hundred billion dollar investment, which they wouldn't
have done if Kamala had won. Apple announced five hundred
billion dollar investment. Tim Cook called me. He said, I
cannot spend it fast enough. It's going to be much
(42:03):
higher than that. I believe be building their plants here
instead of in China. And just yesterday Taiwan Semiconductor, the
biggest in the world, most powerful in the world, has
a tremendous amount. Ninety seven percent of the market announced
a one hundred and sixty five billion dollar investment to
build the most powerful chips on earth right here in
(42:25):
the USA.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
And we're not giving them any money. Your chips ACKed
is a horrible, horrible thing.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
We give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't
mean a thing. They take our money and they don't
spend it. All that meant to them, We're giving them
no money. All that was important to them was they
didn't want to pay the tariffs, so they came in,
they're building, and.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Many other companies that come. We don't have to give
them money.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
We just want to protect our businesses and our people,
and they will come because they won't have to pay
tariffs if they build in America. So it's very amazing.
You should get rid of the Chip Act and whatever's leftover,
mister speaker, you should use it to reduce that or
any other reason you want to. A new trade policy
(43:34):
will also be great for the American farmer. I love
the farmer.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Who will now be selling.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Into our home market, the USA, because nobody is going.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
To be able to compete with you.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Because there's goods that come in from other countries and companies.
They're really, really in a bad position in so many
different ways. They're uninspected, they may be very dirty and disgusting,
and they come in and they pour in and they
hurt our American farmers. The tariffs will go on agricultural
(44:13):
product coming into America and our farmers starting on April second.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
It may be a little bit of an adjustment period.
We had that before when I made the deal with
China fifty billion dollars of purchases, and I said, just
bear with me, and they did. They did. Probably have
to bear with me again, and this will be even better.
That was great. The problem with it was that Biden
didn't enforce it. He didn't enforce it.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Fifty billion dollars of purchases and we were doing great,
but Biden did.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Not enforce it, and it hurt our farmers.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
But our farmers are going to have a field day
right now, So to our farmers have a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
I love you too, I love you too. It's all
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
And I have also imposed a twenty five percent tariff
on foreign aluminum, copper, lumber, and steel because if we
don't have as an example, steel and lots of other things.
We don't have any military, and frankly won't have We
just won't have a country very long. Here today is
a proud American steel worker, fantastic person from Decatur, Alabama.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Jeff Denard.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Has been working at the same steel plant for twenty
seven years, and a job that has allowed him to
serve as the captain of his local volunteer fire department,
raised seven children with his beautiful wife, Nicole, and over
the years, provide a loving home for more than forty
foster children.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
So great yet, Thank you, Jain, Thank you Jeff.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Stories like Jeff's remind us that tariffs are not just
about protecting American jobs. They're about protecting the soul of
our country. Tariffs are about making America rich again and
making America great again. And it's happening, and it will
happen rather quickly. There'll be a little disturbance, but we're
(46:34):
okay with that.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
It won't be much. No, you're not. And look and.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Look where Biden took us very low, the lowest we've
ever been.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Jeff.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I want to thank you very much, and I also
want to recognize another person who has devoted herself to
Forster care community. She works so hard on it, a
very loving person. Our magnificent first Lady of the I
had said. Melonia's work has yielded incredible results, helping prepare
(47:23):
our nation's future leaders as they enter the workforce. Our
First Lady is joined by two impressive young women, very
impressive Haley Ferguson.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Who benefited from the First Lady's.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
Fostering the Future initiative and it is poised to complete
our education become a teacher. And Elliston Berry, who became
a victim of an illicit deep fake image produced by
a peer with Elliston's help. The Senate just passed the
Take It Down Act, and.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
This is so important.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Thank you very much, John, John, thank you, stand up, John,
thank you, Jenny, thank you all very much. Thank you,
and thank you to John Thune and the Senate. Great
(48:21):
job to criminalize the publication of such images online as
a terrible, terrible thing. And once it passes the House,
I look forward to signing that bill into law.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Thank you. And I'm going to use that bill for
myself too, if you don't mind, because.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Nobody gets treated worse than I do online, Nobody that's great,
Thank you very much to the Senate, thank you. But
if we truly care about protecting Americans children, no step
is more crucial than securing America's borders. Over the past
four years, twenty one million people poured into the United States.
(49:00):
Many of them were murders, human traffickers, gang members, and
other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities all throughout
the world. Because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous
open border policies, they are now strongly embedded in our country.
But we are getting them out and getting them out fast.
(49:36):
And I want to thank Tom Holman and Christy I
want to thank you, and Paul of Border Patrol.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I want to thank you. What a job they've all done.
Speaker 1 (49:45):
Everybody Border patrol, ice, law enforcement in general is incredible.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
We have to take care of our law enforcement. Have to.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
Last year, a brilliant twenty two year old nursing student
named Laken Riley, the best in her class, admired by everybody,
went out for a jog on the campus of the
University of Georgia. That morning, lacn was viciously attacked, assault
(50:22):
had beaten, brutalized, and horrifically murdered. Lacn was stolen from
US by a savage illegal alien gang member who was
arrested while trespassing across Biden's open southern border and then
set loose into the United States under the heartless policies
of that failed administration.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
It was indeed a failed administration.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat
run sanctuary city, a disaster before ending the life of
this beautiful young angel.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
With us this.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Evening are Lacan's beloved mother, Alison and her sister Lauren.
(51:29):
Last year, I told Lacan's grieving parents that we would
ensure their daughter would not have died in vain. That's
why the very first bill I signed into law as
your forty seventh President mandates the detention of all dangerous
criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
It's very strong, powerful act. It's called the Lacan Riley Act.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
So Alison and Lauren, America will never ever forget our
beautiful Lacn. Hope, Rilly, thank you very much. Since taking office,
(52:38):
my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration
crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest
numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded. Thank you, the
(53:10):
media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying
we needed new legislation.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
We must have.
Speaker 1 (53:16):
Legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that
all we really needed was a new president.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (53:48):
Joe Biden didn't just open our borders. He flew illegal
aliens over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, and communities
throughout the country.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
Entire towns like Aurora.
Speaker 1 (54:00):
Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio buckled under the weight of the
migrant occupation and corruption like nobody's ever seen before. Beautiful
towns destroyed. Now, just as I promised in my inaugural address,
we are achieving the great liberation of America, but they're
(54:29):
still is much work to be done here tonight is
a woman I have gotten to know, Alexis Nungary from Houston,
wonderful woman. Last June, Alexis's twelve year old daughter, her
precious Joscelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store. She was kidnapped,
(54:51):
tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge, and
horrifically murdered. Arrested in charged with this heinous crime. Are
to illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by
the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
The death of this beautiful.
Speaker 1 (55:11):
Twelve year old girl and the agony of her mother
and family touched our entire nation greatly. Alexis, I promised
that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter,
and earlier tonight I signed an order keeping my word
to you. One thing I've learned about Jocelyn is that
(55:33):
she loved animals so much.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
She loved nature.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
Across Galveston Bay from where Joscelyn lived in Houston, you'll
find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine, peaceful, thirty
four thousand acre sanctuary for all of God's creatures on
the edge of the Gulf of America. Alexis, moments ago,
(55:59):
I formally renamed that refuge in loving memory of your beautiful.
Speaker 2 (56:05):
Daughter, Jocelyn. So, mister Vice President, if you would, may
I have the order. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Lincoln's murders were
members of the Venezuelan prison gang, the toughest gang they
say in the world, known as Trendy Iragua. Two weeks ago,
I officially designated this gang, along with MS thirteen and
the bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartels, as foreign terrorists organizations. They
(57:27):
are now officially in the same category as ISIS, and
that's not good for them. Countless thousands of these terrorists
were welcomed into the US by the Biden administration, but
now every last one will be rounded up and forcibly
removed from our country, or, if they're too dangerous, put
(57:49):
in jail's standing trial in this country, because we don't
want them to come back ever with us. This evening
is a warrior on the front lines of that battle.
Border patrol agent Roberto Ortiz, great guy. In January, Berto
(58:32):
another age patrolling by Rio Grande near an area known
as Cartel Island.
Speaker 2 (58:38):
Doesn't sound too nice to me.
Speaker 1 (58:41):
When heavily armed gunman started shooting at them, Roberto saw
that his partner was totally exposed great danger, and he
leapt into action, returning fire and providing crucial seconds for
his fellow agent to seek safe safety.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Just and just barely.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
I have some of the prince of that event, and
it was not good, agent or ties. We salute you
for your great courage and for your line of fire
that you took and for the bravery that you showed,
we honor you and we will always honor you.
Speaker 2 (59:18):
Thank you, Roberto very much. Thank you ROBERTA.
Speaker 1 (59:38):
And I actually got to know him on my many
calls to the border.
Speaker 2 (59:43):
He's a great, great gentleman.
Speaker 1 (59:46):
The territory to the immediate south of our border is
now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture,
and exercise total control.
Speaker 2 (59:56):
They have total control over a.
Speaker 1 (59:58):
Whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security.
The cartels are waging war in America, and it's time
for America to wage war on the cartels, which we
all drive five nights ago Mexican authorities because of our
(01:00:27):
tariff policies being imposed on that. Think of this hand
it over to us twenty nine of the biggest cartel
leaders in their country. That has never happened before. They
want to make us happy, first time ever. But we
need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done,
(01:00:50):
and they have to stop the fentanyl and drugs pouring
into the USA.
Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
They're going to stop it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
I have said Congress a detailed funding requests laying out
exactly how we will eliminate these threats to protect our
homeland and complete the largest deportation operation in American history,
larger even than current record holder, President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
a moderate man, but someone who believed very strongly in borders.
(01:01:21):
Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay
so I can sign it into law. So, mister Speaker,
John Thune, both of you, I hope you're going to
be able to do that. Mister Speaker, thank you, mister Leader,
thank you, thank you very much. And let's get it
to me. I'll sign it so fast you won't even
(01:01:41):
believe it. And as we reclaim our sovereignty, we must
also bring back law and order to our cities and towns.
(01:02:11):
In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside
down by radical left lunatics. Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing
the law against dangers, repeat offenders while weaponizing law enforcement
against political opponents like me. My administration has acted swiftly
(01:02:36):
and decisively to restore fair, equal and impartial justice under
the constitutional rule of law, starting at the FBI and
the DOJ.
Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Pam good Luck Cash wherever you may be. Good luck,
good luck Pamband good luck, so important, gonna do a
great job.
Speaker 8 (01:03:02):
Cash, Thank you, Thank you, Cash.
Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
They've already started very strong. They're gonna do a fantastic job.
You're gonna be very proud of them. We're also once
again giving our police officers the support, protection and respect
they so dearly deserve.
Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
They have to get it.
Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
They have such a hard, dangerous job, but we're gonna
make it less dangerous. The problem is the bad guys
don't respect the law, but they're starting to respect it,
and they soon will respect it. This also includes our
great fire departments throughout the country. Our firemen and women
are unbelievable people and will never forget them. And besides that,
(01:03:52):
they voted for me in record numbers, so I have
no sare.
Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
One year ago this.
Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Month, thirty one year old New York Police officer Jonathan Diller,
unbelievably wonderful person and a great officer, was gunned down
at a traffic stop on Long Island.
Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
I went to his funeral.
Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
The vicious criminal charge with his murder had twenty one
prior arrests, and they were rough arrests.
Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
He was a real bad one.
Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
The thug in the seat next to him had fourteen
prior arrests and went by the name of killer.
Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
He was killer. He killed other people, they say a
lot of them.
Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
I attended Officer Diller's service, and when I met his
wife and one year old son, Ryan, it was very inspirational. Actually,
his widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight. Stephanie.
Thank you very much, Stephanie. Thank you, Stephanie. We're going
(01:05:18):
to make sure that Ryan knows his dead was a
true hero New York's finest. And we're going to get
these cold blooded killers and repeat offenders or far streets.
Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
So we're going to do it fast. Got to stop it.
Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
They get out with twenty eight arrests, They push people
into subway trains, they hit people over the head, back
of the head.
Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
With baseball bats. We've got to get them out of here.
Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death
penalty for anyone who murders a police officer, and tonight
I'm asking Congers to pass that policy in Department law.
(01:06:09):
I'm also asking for a new crime bill, getting tough
on repeat offenders while enhancing protections.
Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
For America's police officers.
Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
So they can do their jobs without fear of their
lives being totally destroyed.
Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
They don't want to be killed. We're not going to
let them be killed.
Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
Joining us at the gallery tonight is a young man
who truly loves our police.
Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
His name is DJ Daniel. He is thirteen years.
Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Old and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
(01:07:23):
But 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. Since that time,
(01:07:58):
DJ and his dad that have been on a quest
to make his dream come true, and DJ has been
sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a
number of times.
Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Peace.
Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
The police love him, the police departments love him. And tonight, DJ,
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Kerran
to officially make you an agent of the United States
Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Thank you, DJ.
Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
DJ's doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical
he was exposed to when he was younger. Since nineteen
seventy five, rates of child cancer have increased by more
than forty percent. Reversing this trend is one of the
top priorities for our new Presidential Commission to Make America
(01:09:40):
Healthy Again, chaired by our new Secretary of Health and
Human Services, Robert F.
Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
With the name Kennedy. You would have thought everybody over
here would have been cheering.
Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
How quickly they forget.
Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment,
poisons out of our food supply, and keep our children
healthy and strong. As an example, not long ago, and
you can't even believe these numbers, one in ten thousand
children had autism, one in ten thousand, and now it's
(01:10:39):
one in thirty six. There's something wrong, one in thirty six.
Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Think of that. So we're going to find out what
it is. And there's nobody better than Bobby and all
of the people that are working with you. You have
the best.
Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
To figure out what is going on.
Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Okay, Bobby, good luck. It's a very important job. Thank you,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
My administration is also working to protect our children from
toxic ideologies in our schools. A few years ago, January,
Little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's school
had secretly socially transitioned their thirteen.
Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Year old little girl.
Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband
while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns.
Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
They them pronoun actually or without.
Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Telling January, who is here tonight and is now a
courageous advocate against this form of child abuse.
Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
January, thank you, Thank you, thank you moment, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Stories like this are why shortly after taking office, I
signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our
children with transgender ideology. I also signed an order to
(01:12:33):
cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages
in the sexual mutilation of our youth. And now I
want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing
(01:12:53):
sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that
any child is trapped in the wrong body.
Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
This is a big lie.
Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
And our message to every child in America is that
you are perfect, exactly the way God made you. Because
(01:13:30):
we're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of
our military, and it's already out, and it's out of
our society.
Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
We don't want it.
Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Wokeness is trouble, Wokeness is bad. It's gone, it's gone,
and we feel so much better for it.
Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Don't we don't we feel better?
Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Our service members won't be activists and ideologues. They will
be fighters, warriors, They will fight for our country.
Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
And Pete congratulations secret there of defense congradulation. And he's
not big into the woke movement. I can tell you
I know him well.
Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
I am pleased to report that in January the US
Army had its single best recruiting month in fifteen years,
and that all armed services are having among the best
recruiting results ever in the history of our services.
Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
What are difference?
Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
And you know it was just a few months ago
where the results were exactly the opposite. We couldn't recruit anywhere,
we couldn't recruit.
Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Now we're having the.
Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Best results just about that we've ever had. What a
tremendous turnaround. It's really a beautiful thing to see people
love our country again.
Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
It's very simple.
Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
They love our country and they love being in our
military again. So it's a great thing, and thank you
very much.
Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Great job.
Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Were joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who
knows the weight of that call of duty. Jason's father, grandfather,
and great grandfather all wore the uniform. Jason tragically lost
his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County Sheriff's
deputy when he was just a boy, and now he
(01:15:46):
wants to carry on the family legacy of service. Jason
is a senior in high school, a six letter varsity athlete,
a really good athlete, they say, a brilliant student with
a four point four six.
Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
That's good ea.
Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
And his greatest dream is to attend the US Military
Academy at West Point. And Jason, that's a very big
(01:16:33):
deal getting in. That's a hard one to get into.
But I'm pleased to inform you that your application has
been accepted.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
You will soon be joining the Court kit out.
Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Thank you, JASONID You're going to be on the long
gray line.
Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
Jason.
Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
As Commander in Chief, my focus is on building the
most powerful military of the future. As a first step,
I'm asking Congress to fund a state of the art
Golden Dome missile defense shield to protect our homeland, all
made in the USA. And Ronald Reagan wanted to do
(01:17:49):
it long ago, but the technology just wasn't there, not
even close.
Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
But now we have the technology. It's incredible actually.
Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
And other places they have it Israel, as other places
have it, and the United States should have a to right,
tim right, they should have it too. So I want
to thank you, but it's a very very important This
is a very dangerous world.
Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
We should have it.
Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
We want to be protected, and we're going to protect
our citizens like never before.
Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
To boost our.
Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the
American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding.
Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
And military shipbuilding.
Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
And for that purpose, I'm announcing tonight that we will
create a new Office of Shipbuilding in the White House
and offer special tax incentives to bring this industry home
to America where it belongs. We used to make so
many ships. We don't make them anymore very much, but
we're going to make them very fast, very soon. It
(01:18:57):
will have a huge impact to further enhance our national security.
My administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we've
already started doing it. Just today, a large American company
(01:19:18):
announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal
and lots of other things having to do with the.
Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Panama Canal and a couple of other canals. The Panama
Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others,
but others could use it, but it was built at
tremendous cost of American blood and treasure. Thirty eight thousand
workers died building the Panama Canal.
Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
They died of malaria, they died of snake bites and mosquitoes.
Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Not a nice place to work.
Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
They paid them very highly to go there, knowing there
was a twenty five percent chance that they would die.
Defensive project also that was ever built in our country's history.
If you're bringing up to modern day costs. It was
given away by the Carter administration for one dollar. But
that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn't give
(01:20:15):
it to China, we gave it to Panamon. We're taking
it back.
Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Now we have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck Marco.
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.
Marco has been amazing and he's going to do a
great job.
Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Think of it. He got one hundred votes.
Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
You know, he was approved with actually ninety nine, but
the one hundredth was this gentleman, and I feel very certain.
Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
So let's assume we got one hundred votes.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
And I'm either very very happy about that or I'm
very concerned about it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
But he's already proven. I mean, he's a great gentleman.
Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
He's respected by everybody, and we appreciate you voting for Marco.
Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
He's going to do a fantastic job. Thank you, Thank you.
He's doing a great job. Great job.
Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
And I also have a message tonight for the incredible
people of Greenland. We strongly support your right to determine
your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you
into the United States of America. We need Greenland for
national security and even international security, and we're working with
(01:21:46):
everybody involved to.
Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Try and get it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
But we need it really for international world security, and
I think we're going to get it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
One way or the other. We're going to get it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
We will keep if you say, we will make you rich,
and together we will take Greenland to heights like you
have never thought possible before. It's a very small population,
but very very large piece of land and very very
important for military security. America is once again standing strong
against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism. Three and a
(01:22:24):
half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed thirteen American service members
and countless others in.
Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
The Abbey Gate bombing.
Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
During the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
Not that they were withdrawing, it was the way they.
Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Withdrew perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of
our country.
Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
Tonight, I'm please to announce that we have just.
Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
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. And I want to thank
(01:23:23):
especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
This was a very momentous day for those thirteen families
who I actually got to know very well, most of
them whose children were murdered, and the many people that
were so badly over forty two people so badly injured
(01:23:44):
on that faithful day in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
What a horrible day. Such incompetence was.
Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
Shown that when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, wow,
maybe this is my chance. That's how bad it was.
Had never happened grossly incompetent people. I spoke to many
of the parents and loved ones, and they're all in
our hearts tonight. I spoke to them on the phone.
(01:24:13):
We had a big call. Every one of them called
and everybody was on the line and they did nothing
but cry with happiness. They were very happy, as happy
as you can be under those circumstances. Their child, brother, sister, son,
daughter was killed for no reason whatsoever. In the Middle East,
(01:24:38):
we're bringing back our hostages from Gaza. In my first term,
we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in generations,
the Abraham Accords.
Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
And now we're going to build on that foundation to.
Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
Create a more peaceful and prosperous future for the entire region.
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
People haven't been talking about that so much lately with
everything going on with Ukraine and Russia, but a lot
of things are happening in the Middle East, rough neighborhood. Actually,
I'm also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
(01:25:32):
Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or
wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end
in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions
of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security.
Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
With no overthing. Do you want to keep it going
for another five years?
Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
Yeah, yeah, you would say Pocahonta says, yes, two thousand
people are being killed every single week.
Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
More than that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
They're Russian young people, they're Ukrainian young people. They're not Americans.
But I wanted to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent
more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent.
Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
On defending Ukraine by far.
Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
Think of that, They've spent more buying Russian oil and
gas than they have defending And we've spent perhaps three
hundred and fifty billion dollars, like taking candy from a baby,
that's what happened, and they've spent one hundred billion dollars.
What a difference that is. And we have a notion
(01:27:07):
separating us and they don't. But we're getting along very
well with them, and lots of good things are happening.
Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe
has spent, by.
Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Billions and billions of dollars. It's hard to believe that
they wouldn't have stopped it and said, at.
Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
Some point, come on, let's equalize. You've got to be
equal to us. But that didn't happen. Earlier today I
received an important letter from President Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Of Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come to the
negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer.
Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said. My
team and I stand ready to work under President Trump's
strong leadership to get a piece that lasts. We do
(01:27:59):
really value you how much America has done to help
Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. Regarding the agreement on
Minerals and Security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at
any time that is convenient for you.
Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it
a little while ago.
Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received
strong signals that they are ready for peace.
Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that
be beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
It's time to stop this madness. It's time to halt
the killing. It's time to end the senseless war. If
you want to end wars, you have to off to
both sides. Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions, a
history teacher named Mark Voegel was detained in Russia and
sentenced to fourteen years in a penal colony rough stuff.
(01:29:15):
The previous administration barely lifted a finger to help him.
Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
They knew he was innocent, but they had no idea
where to begin.
Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
But last summer I promised his ninety five year old mother, Malphine,
that we would bring her boy safely back home after
twenty two days in office. I did just that, and
they are here tonight to Mark and his great mom.
(01:30:22):
We are delighted to have you safe and sound and
with us. As fate would have it. Mark Vogel was
born in a small rural town in Butler, Pennsylvania. Have
you heard of it? Where his mother has lived for
the past seventy eight years. I just happened to go
(01:30:42):
there last July thirteenth for a.
Speaker 9 (01:30:44):
Rally that was not pleasant, and that is where I
met his beautiful mom right before I walked onto that stage,
and I told her I would not forget what she
said about her son, and I never did.
Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
Did I never forgot.
Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Less than ten minutes later, at that same rally, gunfire
rang out and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight
bullets from his sniper's perch into a crowd of many
thousands of people. My life was saved by a fraction
of an inch, but some were not so lucky. Corey Comparatore,
(01:31:31):
was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian, a husband, a
devoted father, and above all, a protector.
Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
When the sound of gunshots pierced the air.
Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Was a horrible sound, Corey knew instantly what it was
and what to do. He threw himself on top of
his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets
with his own body.
Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Corey was hit hard. You know the story.
Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
From there, he sacrificed his life to save theirs. Two others,
very fine people, were also seriously hit, but thankfully, with
the help of two great country doctors. We thought they
were gone and they were saved. So those doctors had
great talent. Were joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who was
(01:32:26):
his high school sweetheart, and their two beloved daughters, Alison
and KAYLEI.
Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
To Helen, Allison and Kaylee. Corey is looking down on
his three beautiful ladies right now, and he is cheering
you on.
Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
He loves you, He is cheering you on.
Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
Corey was taken from us much too soon, but his
destiny was to leave us all with a shining example
of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot. It
was love like Corey's that built our country, and it's
love like Corey's that is going to make our country
more majestic than ever before. I believe that my life
(01:33:42):
was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason.
Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
I was saved by God to make America great again.
I believe that.
Speaker 10 (01:33:54):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (01:34:14):
From the patriots of Lexington and Concord, to the heroes
of Gettysburg and Normandy, from the warriors who crossed the Delaware,
to the trail blazers who climbed the Rockies, and from
the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts
who touched the moon. Americans have always been the people
(01:34:35):
who defied all arts, transcended all dangers, made the most
extraordinary sacrifices, and did whatever it took to defend our children,
our country, and our freedom. And as we have seen
in this chamber tonight, that same strength, faith, love, and
spirit is still alive and thriving in the hearts of
(01:34:57):
the American people. Despite the best efforts of those who
would try to censor us, silence us, break us, destroy us.
Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign, and independent nation
that will always.
Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
Be free, and we will fight for it till death.
Speaker 1 (01:35:17):
We will never let anything happen to our beloved country,
because we are a country of doers, dreamers, fighters, and survivors.
Our ancestors crossed a vast ocean, strode into the unknown wilderness,
and carved their fortunes from the rock and soil of
a perilous and very dangerous frontier. They chased our destiny
(01:35:42):
across a boundless continent. They built the railroads, laid the highways,
and grace the world with American marbles like the Empire
State Building, the mighty Hoover Dam, and the towering Golden
gate Bridge. They lit the world with electrics, broke free
of the force of gravity, fired up the engines of
(01:36:05):
American industry, vanquished the communists, Fascists, and Marxists all over
the world, and gave us countless modern wonders sculpted out
of iron, glass, and steel. We stand on the shoulders
of these pioneers who won and built the modern age,
These workers who poured their sweat into the skylines of
(01:36:28):
our cities, These warriors who shed their blood on fields
of battle and gave everything they had for our rights
and for our freedom. Now it is our time to
take up the righteous cause of American liberty, and it
is our turn to take American's destiny into our own
hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history
(01:36:51):
of our country. This will be our greatest era. With
God's help, over the next four years, we are going
to lead the nation even higher, and we are going
to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most
dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this earth.
(01:37:13):
We are going to create the highest quality of life,
build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital
communities anywhere in the world. We are going to conquer
the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to
lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on
(01:37:34):
the planet Mars and even far beyond. And through it all,
(01:37:57):
we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the
American spirit, and we are going to renew unlimited promise
of the American dream.
Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
Every single day we will stand up and.
Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
We will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens
believe in, and.
Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
For the country our people deserve.
Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
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, and God bless America.
