Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We played part of this on Wednesday, so you may
recognize a little bit of it, but we decided for
this week's bonus podcast for your Saturday listening since it
was too long to play on the regular show. There
is President Trump's victory speech from earlier this week, and
it hit a lot of the right notes for me
(00:23):
at the right time. And so if you saw it already,
maybe give it another listen. And if you didn't, I
think it would be good to give this a listen.
You know, elections, like births and graduations and weddings and deaths, funerals,
they're a marking point, a pivot point. They're a point
(00:47):
in time. They give us an opportunity to kind of
start anew, to change direction. And I really think Trump
understands that concept. I think he he's sad not to
be running for president again, I do. I think he
recognizes that he will serve and then leave, and I
(01:07):
think he's he's grown to enjoy it. He's darn good
at it. I mean, who can forget the garbage truck
and the McDonald's French fries.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I mean, it's just he's good. He's really, really good.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And I think he's going to enjoy being a lame
duck president in the sense that he's going to do
what he wants to do and he's going to be
free to do the right thing. And very infrequently is
it that a person feels that free they could be.
(01:44):
Very infrequently do they and the people around them think
about retaining power instead of fixing problems. And I think
Trump is going in with the mindset of fixing problems.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Thank you very much, will Well, I want to thank
you all very much.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
This is great. These are our friends. We have thousands
of friends in this incredible movement. This was a movement
like nobody's ever seen before. And frankly, this was I
believe the greatest political movement of all time. There's ever
(02:30):
been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond.
And now it's going to reach a new level of
importance because we're going to help our country. Heal, We're
going to help our country. Here. We have a country
that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We're
(02:51):
going to fix our borders, We're going to fix everything
about our country. And we made history for a reason
tonight in the it is going to be just that
we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is
now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political they look,
(03:12):
what happened? Is this crazy? But it's a political victory
that our country has never seen before, nothing like this.
I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary
honor of being elected your forty seventh president, and you're
(03:35):
forty fifth president, and every citizen, I will fight for you,
for your family and your future. Every single day I
will be fighting for you, and with every breath in
my body, I will not rest until we have delivered
(03:56):
the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve
and that you deserve. This will truly be the Golden
Age of America. That's what we have to have. This
is a magnificent victory for the American people that will
allow us to make America great again or whatever. And
(04:25):
in addition to having won the battleground states of North Carolina,
I love these places, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, we are
now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, which would
(04:45):
result in US carrying at least three hundred and fifteen
electoral votes. But that, but it's much easier doing what
the networks did or whoever called it, because there was
no other path. There was no other path to victory.
(05:06):
We also have won the popular vote. That was great power,
thank you, thank you very much. And now winning the
(05:32):
popular vote was very nice, very nice. I will tell you.
It's a great, a great feeling of love. We have
a great feeling of love in this very large room
with unbelievable people standing by my side. These people have
been incredible, They've made the journey with me, and we're
(05:53):
going to make you very happy. We're going to make
you very proud of your vote. I hope that you're
going to be looking back someday and say that was
one of the truly important moments of my life when
I voted for this group of people. Beyond the president,
this group of great people America has given us an
(06:15):
unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of
the Senate. Wow, that's good. Under Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
(06:41):
the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we're all won by the
MAGA movement. They helped so much. And in those cases,
every one of them. We worked with the senators. They
were tough races, and I mean the number of victories
(07:01):
in the Senate was absolutely incredible. And we did tell rallies.
We did tell rallies with each one of them, and
sometimes we did two or three, and it was amazing
to look at all of those victories. Nobody expected that, nobody,
So I just wanted to thank you very much for that.
And we have you have some great senators and some
(07:21):
great new senators, and it also looks like we'll be
keeping control of the House of Representative. And I want
to thank Mike Johnson. I think he's doing a terrific job,
terrific job. I want to also thank my beautiful wife,
(07:43):
Milania first lady, who has the number one best selling
book in the contract you believe that. Oh, now, she's
(08:12):
done a great job, works very hard, works very hard
to help people. So I just want to thank her.
But I want to thank my whole family, my amazing children,
and they are amazing children. Now we all think our children.
Everybody here thinks that children are amazing. But that's a
good thing when you think they are. But don Eric, Ivanka,
(08:34):
Tiffany Baron, Laura Jared Kimberly, Michael, thank you all. What
a help.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
What I did.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
My father in law, Victor is tremendous. And we miss
very much Malania's mother, Amalia. We miss Amalia, don't we Huh?
She would be very happy right now standing on this stage.
Should be so proud. She was a great woman. That
one beautiful inside and out. She was a great woman.
(09:10):
I want to be the first to congratulate or great
now I can say Vice President Elect of the United
States JB. Bid and his absolutely remarkable and beautiful wife, Ushabez.
(09:43):
And he is a feisty guy, isn't he. You know
I've said, go into the enemy camp, and you know
the enemy camp is certain networks, and a lot of
people don't like to Sure, do I have to do that?
He just goes, Okay, which one CNA and MSDNC. He'll say,
(10:03):
all right, thank you very much. He actually explained he's
like the only guy I've ever said he really looks
forward to it. And then he just goes, in an
absolutely obliterate step, say a couple of words.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Wow, Well, mister President, I appreciate you allowing me to
join you on this incredible journey. I thank you for
the trust that you have placed in me. And I
think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
In the history of the United States of America. And
under President Trump's leadership, We're never going to stop fighting
for you, your dreams, for the future of your children.
And after the greatest political comeback in American history, We're
(11:07):
gonna leave the greatest economic come back in American history
under Donald Trump's leadership.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Thank you very much. He's He's turned out to be
a good choice. I took a little heat at the beginning,
but he was I knew. I knew the brain was
a good one, about as good as it gets. And
we love the family, and we're going to have a
great four years and we're going to turn our country around,
(11:42):
make it something very special. It lost, that lost, that
little it lost, that little uh, that little thing called special.
We have to make it. So. We're going to make
this so great. It's gonna it's the greatest country and
potentially the greatest country in the world by far, and
right now, we're going to just work very hard to
(12:03):
get all of that back. We're going to make it
the best it's ever been. We can do that. We
just if we had to wait longer. I don't know.
It was going bad, and it was going bad fast.
We're gonna have to seal up those borders, and we're
gonna have to let people come into our country. We
want people to come back in, but we have to
(12:26):
we have to let them come back in, but they
have to come in legally. They have to come in legally.
Let me also express my tremendous appreciation for Susie and Chris.
A job you did. Susan, Come Susan, come here, Come here, Susan. Chris,

(12:49):
the bags. Let me tell you the iceband, we call
it the Iceman comes Chris, Come here, Chris out there.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Susie likes to stay in the background.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
She's not in the background. Who say this wasn't expected.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
But I just want to thank obviously President Trump for
this journey. It was a great one, and he's a
hell of a candidate and he's going to be a
hell of a great forty seventh president. And this team
that we had the best team, and of course even
my boss Susie Wills the best.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Thank you, thank you, and thank you Susie looking. I've
never seen her be shot before, Susie, They've been They're great.
Everybody up here is great. Everybody up here is very special.
But the Trump, Yo, who did you say? Oh, let
(13:50):
me tell you we have a new star. A star
is born Eylon, No, he is now. He's an amazing guy.
We were sitting together tonight. You know, he spent two
weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania, campaginting. You know,
(14:11):
he sent the rocket up two weeks ago. And I
saw that rocket. I saw it coming down. I saw it.
It was when it left, it was beautiful, shiny white.
When it came down, it didn't look so pretty. It
was going ten thousand miles an hour, and I was
burning like hell. I said, what happened to your paint job?
He said, We've never made a paint that could we
stay in that kind of heat. But I saw it
(14:34):
come down and turn around, and it was, you know,
it's like twenty two stories so by the way, it
looks a little smaller than that, but it's big. And
it came down and down, and you saw that fire burning.
And I'm saying, only Elon could do this. It must
be an eline and I tell the story. I told
it last night. I had a man on the phone.
(14:55):
I had the screen muted, no sound. I was talking
to very important man. Happen is to be here, and
that very important guy one of the most important people.
And I would say the country actually, but you know,
I was president and now it looks like I was
going to be maybe president again, so I figured I
could ask him to hold. So I asked him to hold,
(15:19):
and because especially because you're going to be president again,
they hold. So I took the phone down and I'm
looking to screen. I'm seeing this crazy thing that's going
around and coming down. It looks like, I said, a
crash into the gantry. And I said, oh no, and
I said, do me if you might hold him for
a couple of them. I want to see this. I
thought it was a space age movie or something. I
(15:39):
put the phone down, but I didn't pick it up
for forty five minutes, and he was holding. But this
spaceship came down and I saw those engines firing and
it looked like it was over. It was going to smash,
and then I saw the fire pour out from the
left side and I put it straight and it came
down so gently, and then it wrapped those arms around
(16:02):
it and it held it and just like you hold
you maybe at night, your little baby. And it was
a beautiful thing to see. And I called Elan. I said, Elon,
was that you? He said, yes, it was. I said,
who else can do that? Can Russia do it? No?
Can China do it? No? Can the United States do it?
(16:23):
Other than you know, nobody can do that. I said,
that's why I love you, Elon. That's great. And you
know when we had the tragic hurricane Heleene and it
hit a particular hit North Carolina. They were really devast
at the water. This was a big water, as big
as we've ever seen water hurricane. It built lakes out
(16:44):
of nothing. Feels became lakes and the danger was unbelievable.
And the people from North Carolina came to me and
they said, would it be possible, at all possible for
you to speak to Elon Musk. We need starlink. I said,
what's darlink. It's a form of communication. So I called
Elon and I'll tell you what he had. And it
(17:05):
was very dangerous. People would die. They had no communication.
All the wires were down. I called Elon Musk. I said, Elon,
you have something called starlink? Is that right? Yes? I do.
What the hell is it? He said, it's a communication system.
That's very good. I said, Elon, they need it really
really badly in North Carolina. Can you get it? He
(17:26):
had that there so fast, it was incredible, so and
it was great. It saved a lot of lives. He
saved a lot of lives. But he's the characters, especial
guys are super genius. We have to protect our geniuses.
We don't have that many of them. We have to
protect our super geniuses. I want to thank some of
the guys. You know we have up here today. The
(17:46):
US Open champion, he's fantastic. Over slightly longer than me.
It's a little bit longer than me, just a little bit.

career going great. US Open. Bryson, that's a fantastic job.
(18:33):
And we also have a Mandana White who has done
some job he's that tough guy. So Dana started UFC
and it came to me, do you mind if I
(18:54):
used your Nobody wanted to give him a rink because
they said it's a rough sport, a little rough, and
I helped him out a little bit, and I went
and I said, this is the roughest sport I've ever seen.
But I began to like it, and he loved it.
And nobody's done a better job in sports. And you know,
he's a very motivational kind of a guy. What he does.
(19:15):
He gets these fighters and they really go at it,
and it's become one of the most successful sports enterprises
anywhere at any time. Doing so well. I'd like to
ask any just to say a couple of words because
people love to hear from him. Fana.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Nobody deserves us more than him, and nobody deserves us
more than his family does. This is what happens when
the machine comes after you. What you've seen over the
last several years, this is what it looks like. Couldn't
stop him. He keeps going forward. He doesn't quit. He's
the most resilient, hard working man I've ever met in
my life. His family are incredible people. This is calm,
(19:59):
a lady and gentlemen. He deserves this, They deserve it
as a family. I want to thank some people real quick.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
That is a piece of work. Now he's an amazing
He's really an amazing guy. But most of all, I
want to thank the millions of hard working Americans across
the nation who have always been the heart and soul
of this really great movement. We've been through so much
together and today you showed up in record numbers to
deliver a victory Like really, I'd probably like no other.
(20:52):
This was something This was something special. And we're gonna
we're gonna pay you back. We're gonna do the best
job we're gonna We're going to turn it around. It's
got to be turned around. It's got to be turned
around fast, and we're going to turn it around. We're
gonna do it in every way, with so many ways,
but we're gonna do it in every way. This will
forever be remembered as the day the American people regained
(21:15):
control of their country. So I just want to say
that on behalf of this great group of people. These
are hard working people, These are fantastic people. And we
could add a few names like Robert F. Kennedy Junior.
(21:37):
And he's going to help make America healthy again. And
now he's a great guy and he really means that
he wants to do some things, and we're going to
(21:59):
let him go to it. I just said, but Bobby,
leave the oil to me. We have more liquid gold,
oil and gas. We have more liquid gold than any
country in the world, more than Saudi Arabia, we have
more than Russia. Bobby, stay away from the liquid gold.
Other than that, go have a good time, Bobby. We're
(22:22):
going to be paying down debt, We're going to be
reducing taxes. We can do things that nobody else can do.
Nobody else is going to be able to do it.
China doesn't have what we have. Nobody has what we have,
but we have the greatest people. Also. Maybe that's the
most important thing this campaign. This campaign has been so
historic in so many ways. We've built the biggest, the broadest,
(22:46):
the most unified coalition. They've never seen anything like it
in all of American history. They've never seen any young
and old, men and women, rural and urban, and we
had them all helping us tonight. When you think, I mean,
I was looking at it. I was watching it. They
had some great analysis of the people that voted for us.
Nobody's ever seen anything like that. It came from They
(23:09):
came from all corners, Union, non Union, African American, Hispanic American,
Asian American, Arab, American, Muslim, American. We had everybody, and
it was beautiful. It was a historic realignment, uniting citizens
of all backgrounds around a common core of common sense.
(23:33):
You know, we're the Party of common sense. We want
to have borders, we want to have security, we want
to have things be good safe, We want great education,
want a strong and powerful military, and ideally we don't
have to use it. You know, we had no wars.
Four years, we had no wars except we defeated ISIS.
We defeated ISIS in record time, but we had no wars.
(23:58):
They said he will start a war. I'm not going
to start working to stop wars. But this is also
a massive victory for democracy and for freedom. Together, we're
going to unlock America's glorious Yesterday, we're going to achieve
the most incredible future for our people. Yesterday, as I
stood at my last stop on the campaign, till I'll
(24:20):
never be doing a rally again, can you believe it?
I think we've done nine hundred rallies approximately from the canoe.
Imagine nine hundred, nine hundred and one something, a lot
of rallies. And it was sad. Everybody was said many people.
I said, this is our last rally. But now we're
(24:42):
going onto something that's far more important because the rallies
were used for us to be put in this position
where we can really help our country. That's what we're
going to do. We're going to make our country better
than it ever has been. And I said that many
people have told me that God spared my life for
(25:04):
a reason, and that reason was to save our country
and to restore America to greatness. And now we are
going to fulfill that mission. Together. We're going to fulfill
that mission. The task before us will not be easy,
(25:24):
but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit and
fight that I have in my soul to the job
that you've entrusted to me. This is a great job.
There's no job like this. This is the most important
job in the world. Just as I did it my
(25:44):
first term. We had a great first term, a great,
great first term. I will govern by a simple motto.
Promises made, Promises kept. We're going to keep our promises.
Nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, you,
the people. We will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful
(26:05):
and free again. And I'm asking every citizen all across
our land to join me in this noble and righteous endeavor.
That's what it is. It's time to put the divisions
of the past four years behind us. It's time to unite,
and we're going to try. We're going to try. We
have to try, and it's going to happen. Success will
(26:26):
bring us together. I've seen that. I've seen that. I
saw that in the first term when we became more
and more successful, people started coming together. Success is going
to bring us together, and we are going to start
by all putting America first. We have to put our
country first for at least a period of time. We
(26:48):
have to fix it, because together we can truly make
America great again for all Americans. So I want to
just tell you what a great honor. This is I
want to thank you. I will not let you down.
America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer and
stronger than it has ever been before. God bless you,
(27:10):
and God bless America. Thank you.
