Tonight, Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress to address the State of the Union.
I'm not calling it the State of the Union. I'm saying he will address the State of the Union.
Apparently, it's not a State of the Union because Trump's serving a non-consecutive term. So it's
supposed to be like the first address to Congress. But, you know, it's only happened one other time.
But it's going to be true that that will be up at nine o'clock. Around nine o'clock, Donald Trump will be speaking.
And some expect him to go either an hour and a half.
It could be as long as two hours.
The way Donald Trump goes at rallies, he has a lot to say.
And we're hearing that he has not prepared a substantial or should say typical speech.
Whereas a president usually has speechwriters,
teleprompters and advisers. Apparently, Trump has got bullet points. He's he's got a bit of a script, but you know how Trump goes. He's going to go off the cuff. He's going to speak off script quite a
bit. So it could actually be long. Who knows? But we do have big news. The IRS is putting together a plan to lay off up to 45,000 staff. I know I when I heard
that news, I was just like anybody who doesn't cheer for that. You can't be my friend. You get
out. Get out of here because that's weird. OK, yes, the IRS doesn't need this many people. Let's
let's let's let's do this is great news. Now we've got a bunch of crazy news. According to Daily Mail, Trump is apparently he's he may propose relinquishing U.S. NATO leadership to other
European nations, a move towards the U.S. potentially getting out of NATO. And then
with the tariffs in play, things are getting pretty crazy. Ontario is threatening threatens
Americans saying he would cut off their electricity. I mean, that's that's pretty
serious because of these tariffs. And then, of course, we have the Democrat senators producing that scripted cringe video where they all said the exact same thing.
You know, you get it. So we'll talk about all of these things before we get started.
My friends head over to cast brew dot com and buy cast brew coffee.
We got two weeks till Christmas, despite the fact it's been over two months since Christmas.
But still, Phil Labonte has got some rock and' gingerbread coffee, and he is dressed like Santa Claus. Ian's Graphene Dream is still not in stock,
but Appalachian Nights and Rise of the Birdo Jr. is, so definitely pick up some Casper coffee.
Now, we're not going to have a special episode of the Uncensored Show today,
but we will have a Green Room episode, which will go up. And, you know, someone reminded me,

Rachel Wilson. Hello, thanks for having me back. It's good to be here. Who are you? What do you do?
I am the wife of the venerable and much feared
Andrew Wilson, the legend,
the handsome legend himself. I also have a
book called Occult Feminism, The Secret History
of Women's Liberation, which you can find on Amazon
and I have my own little YouTube channel.
It's just my name, Rachel Wilson. Right on.
Thanks for hanging out. We got Raymond hanging
out. I think you're awesome too, Rachel.
Thank you, Raymond. Of course.
I'm Raymond G, my friends. I am the host of the
non-existent show
Blue Collar Cast. I look forward to hearing
Trump speak. Phil.
Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer
of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist
and counter-revolutionary. Let's go.
I'd just like to thank President Trump
for everything. I mean
the Doge stuff, it's all great.
But particularly today,
I'd like to thank him for having his joint address to Congress at 9 p.m. so that we are
able to actually cover news stories in the first hour. Otherwise, it would just be us listening to
him speak, which is fine. But, you know, now we get to riff a little bit. We got this story from
the AP. Ladies and gentlemen, this may be some of the best news. The only news that could be better
is when they formally announced the layoff of these IRS agents.
The IRS is drafting plans to cut as much as half of its 90,000 person workforce, AP sources say.
Well, there's the news.
When I first heard this, I was watching Fox News.
I think it was the Five or something.
And they didn't seem freaked out by this.
Like, they weren't excited.
I'm like, this is the greatest thing I've heard in a very long time.
45,000 IRS agents to be laid off.
Yeah, and that's great.
And all these people that are getting laid off, they had the opportunity to quit and take a pension, not a pension, but take severance that would take care of them until September.
They all could have just said, hey, man, I'm out.
Can they still?
I don't think so.
I think that there was a time limit on it.
And so, too bad, so sad.
I mean, it's a mix of layoffs, attrition, and incentivized buyouts.
So some people may still get paid out.
The layoffs are part of the Trump admin's effort
to shrink the size of the federal workforce through Doge. You know what I love is that
I was going to say, yeah, Republicans have been saying forever the government's too big,
but they've never done anything about it. Now Trump is like, we've got a hatchet,
a hatchet man, and we're going to fire people. Not only is this not only like your points is
well stated, but not only only that but it's also
going to change the way that republicans behave in the future because now you see that it's not
just lip service that you know it's not like oh i paid lip service but i don't know what to do man
we got into office and i can't do anything palms up i'm sorry and and it's all everything's the same as it always has been donald trump has demonstrated that the president has significant authority
to make changes in at the very least the executive branch and the executive branch is where a massive
portion of the bureaucracy is all of the cabinet has all like the lion's share of all the bureaucracy is the
executive branch. So Donald Trump has demonstrated that the president had like, I forget the exact
phrase, but but Lincoln said something like, I'm the president, I'm clothed with enormous power
or something like that. And it's true, the president has a lot of power. And I think that
we're going to see the Supreme Court actually rule on that because
there's people that are taking the firings and stuff to, you know, they're trying to use the
courts to prevent the president. And that's exactly what needs to happen. These things need
to get in front of the Supreme Court. And I think that it's highly likely that the Supreme Court is
going to say, no, in Article 2, the powers that are vested in the president are not vested in a
bureaucracy.
The president has the ultimate authority to fire people.
If you don't like that, that is too bad.
You can work to change the Constitution, get out there and get an amendment. But until you do that, the president has the authority to fire people.
The office of the executive actually must do what the president says.
Look at how the AP ends the article.
The federal tax collector employs roughly 90,000 workers total across the United States.
According to the latest IRS data, people of color make up 56 percent of the IRS workforce and women represent 65.
OK, so what I'm going to say right now is DEI has failed.
Fire them. When when you are not reaching parity, that's what they say. Okay, so what I'm going to say right now is DEI has failed.
Fire them.
When you are not reaching parity, that's what they say.
The woke say the amount, the percentage in a workforce should represent the percentage in the community.
Right.
So if 56% are people of color, that would indicate racism.
And if 65% are women, sexism.
So apparently the DEI has not been working.
Also, I want to know, why don't we have DEI for dirty, dangerous, and difficult stuff?
Why isn't anybody fighting for equality in trash collection or sewer treatment
or the guys that have to do the power line stuff?
I want women cleaning sewers.
That's what I'm saying.
We need blue-collar women.
Women of color need to be out there.
We need to get women of color cleaning sewers.
Exactly.
And working on oil rigs.
For equality, because we love them.
It is so frustrating.
That's a great point.
Those jobs pay well.
They do.
I'm totally happy.
In all seriousness.
A longshore woman?
Forget about it.
If there is a woman of color who wants to work on an oil rig and make $120K a year in a dangerous job, but she can do it, let's get that going.
Those jobs should be available, but for some reason, we're not seeing the interest.
Why is that?
Is it because we're not adequately advocating for these women to go work these dangerous jobs?
Because they lie, and they're preaching, and all their words are fake and empty.
Everybody knows why.
It's because these jobs are hard and dangerous.
It's because those people don't,
no one wants to go and do the hard, dangerous jobs.
They want to get the cushy, easy jobs,
and they want to sit there and complain
and tell you that you're a bad person
because they didn't get them.
It is exhausting.
They call this air conditioner feminism.
Yes.
That's what I heard.
Yeah, the idea,
I can't remember who coined the phrase.
The idea was women are fighting for jobs where they get to be in air conditioned, comfortable
environments.
Yes.
And they never are fighting for working on oil rigs or in sewers.
And then they're going to bitch because you put the air conditioning on too high.
Yeah.
And that's the crazy thing because like.
That's true.
You're right.
It's too cold in here.
But the reason why it's cold is not because people hate women.
It's because men can't take their clothes off.
So if it's hot in an office, guys in suits are all drenched in sweat.
So they say, we got to lower the temperature.
And then women are like, but I'm cold.
So put a sweater on.
And then they're like, that's not fair.
Why should we have to do that?
Because men can't take their clothes off.
You ever go, you ever have to be in an office for some reason?
You know, you're like in HR or something.
And the woman there has like a space heater under her desk and a space heater on top of her desk.
And she's got her.
They have blankets.
I go into my doctor's office and the office ladies have blankets.
I'm like, you're bringing your blankie to work now?
I'm fine with it.
I mean, the space heaters are expensive, right?
Yeah.
But I'm fine with a woman having a sweater or a blanket.
I'm not okay with it.
A sweater, sure.
Like, maybe just dress yourself.
I think blankets are fine.
Like, if the office is cold, it makes more sense that a woman puts a blanket on than all of the men have to strip down to their shorts.
Agreed.
That's insane.
But one woman puts one blanket on, or 30 guys take off all their clothes.
You can have the blanket.
Personally, I want them uncomfortable.
I sure you do.
But I think this is great in the aspect of the fact that Republicans aren't sitting on
their hands right now.
They're like they're known for writing strong, worded letters and sitting on their hands.
And now they're just going to go ahead.
Doge is going to fire half.
Well, to be or at least let them go.
To be fair, Republicans still send their hands.
Trump and MAGA are very different.
OK, yeah. Aren't there still some Republicans who are upset about this, too? Let them go. To be fair, Republicans still send their hands. Trump and MAGA are very different.
Aren't there still some Republicans who are upset about this, too?
Like they really don't want the wrecking ball taken to the deep state?
The Bill Kristols of the world.
Well, I don't know. He's a liberal now.
Has he changed parties?
He posted in support of trans rights.
Oh, God, he's the worst.
So it's interesting.
Maybe we can talk about it a little bit.
He's the king of the swamp, in my opinion.
It was a really interesting point.
I think Chris Ruffo made it that.
Was it Chris Ruffo?
Let me make sure I'm attributing this properly because I retweeted it.
Basically that tons of these anti-Trump personalities said that they were taking this stance based on, yeah, it was Chris Ruffo who said,
I find it fascinating that so many of the never-Trump intellectuals initially opposed him on the ground of conservative principles,
but gradually and without explanation changed all of their principles so they now oppose him on purely progressive grounds.
And it's a reference to Bill Kristol saying, stand with trans Americans.
You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump's acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. The interesting thing about Crystal
and others was that they had actually tweeted quite a bit against LGBTQ groups only a few years
ago. But now they're just literally orange man bad. So we support anything the progressives are
pushing. It's disgusting. I think it's a risk. I think it's one of the risks of having a form
of governance that's based on like dialectical tension as it's one of the risks of having a form of governance that's based
on like dialectical tension as well this is why kind of like the republican and democrat party
at the turn of the century also kind of flipped and flopped on some things because if you're if
you exist purely to oppose the other side then if the other side does like because trump was really
more like a 90s liberal he was never a a staunch conservative. Like all of the MAGA people that are in the office of the or in the executive branch now, they're all former Democrats.
Tulsi, RFK, Trump.
I mean, the idea that there are some kind of really far right conservatives.
It could have been in the Bill Clinton administration.
There's no truth to that.
No truth to it.
The left has moved so
incredibly far. We live in, and I keep saying this regularly,
we live in a leftist milieu so badly
now, and we are so
steeped in it, that something
even marginally
right of center seems to
the left as far-right
extremism. But I don't think it's fair
to say left anymore. It's more um where we are which i would i would describe as like fairly center with some
liberal leaning i'm fairly liberal in a lot of ways yeah this is the i see a problem i want fixed
party and the democrats are the i hate you party so that's that's why you can come out and you know
the hassan thing is a really good example i I tweeted that Hassan got suspended, not banned, and then he tweeted Tim Pool defends Rick Scott.
And I'm like, OK, I didn't.
But the point is – well, sure.
But the point was their opposition to us is not rooted in fact.
It is not rooted in policy.
It is rooted in you are bad.
That's it.
So fascist, Nazi, they just literally mean bad guy.
You are bad. That's it. So fascist, Nazi, they just literally mean bad guy. You are bad guy. And bad is just opposed to them because they can do absolutely mendacious, horrible things.
He will celebrate that he was celebrating terrorists. He was celebrating Luigi Mangione
murdering a man who done nothing wrong other than be the CEO of a business, right? He's the CEO of a health care company.
And sure, the way our health care, or not health care company, health insurance company,
but ensure the way that our health care industry and the insurance that goes along with it,
it's a complete pigsty and it's a mess, I agree.
But that doesn't make it okay to just murder people because this guy doesn't like it.
But people like Hassan, the far left, they will celebrate that because they are because they are they are just absolutely bad people.
Yeah, Tim's right. It really doesn't have anything to do with leftism per se.
It's more just like they will bite any bullet as long as it's against you. Ukraine. Yeah. John Oliver
did a last week tonight on Ukraine. And for the life of me there, this is the craziest thing.
Imagine what's one thing to say. I know some friends of mine are trans and I'm concerned
about the things they're going through. And that's an emotional experience. And I'm like, OK,
let's have the argument over science and the issue, blah, blah, blah. Morality. Fine. Ukraine
makes no sense. There is not a single argument that Democrats can present or that they have present other than, what was it, the Budapest
Agreement? Where they're like, well, 30 years ago, we said that we would defend Ukraine if Russia
invaded. And we also promised that we wouldn't expand NATO, but then we did, neither of which
were approved by Congress. But that means now we have to fight. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to
pause right there. Sure, we promised Ukraine we'd defend them. That is not a reason to defend them.
Like I'm saying, like, what is the logical mathematic function of defending Ukraine?
What is gained from it? What is the end result? Why should we do it? We said we would. No, no,
no. Saying you would say saying I said I would do it does not mean you should imagine.
Imagine this. Thirty years ago, there's this cliff overlooking a beautiful lake.
And you say, I'll tell you what, if at any time.
You know, someone cuts that tree down, I will be here and I will cliff dive off this thing.
And then you show up 30 years later and the lake is barren.
It's rocks now.
And they go, jump.
And you go, I can't do it now.
And they're like, you said you would.
That's not a reason to do it.
The circumstances have dramatically changed.
And the argument that 30 years ago we said we'd do it,
and it's like, yeah, okay, everything's completely different now.
That's not a reason.
If you come to me and say, we're going to get mineral rights,
we're going to secure Ukraine,
we're going to get access to a nuclear power plant or whatever, I'd be like, oh, OK, the U.S. is trying to do a thing.
No, they're just like, we have no reasons.
We like Zelensky and Trump is bad.
OK, well, it's not a reason to be in a war.
And I don't know if they even like Zelensky.
They just hate Trump.
Because he was, you know, we all know this is a fact.
Ukraine has been terrible and has been um
corrupt for thousands of years for hundreds of thousands of years and it's been in every article
written um and then all of a sudden just because trump's like you know what you know you're my
favorite person in the world and they're gonna back him from the ukraine because of putin because
of russia that's uh kiev was the capital of russia i did hear that. A very long time ago. Ukrainian Rus' are the actual first Russians.
Oh.
Yep, and then it moved.
And Ukraine means borderland.
Good game, video game.
It is.
And for the Ukrainians, they don't have the same connection to country as a lot of other people do.
Like, I don't want to completely disparage them and say that they don't have any kind of nationality.
Of course, that's not true.
But there's a big difference between the Ukrainians and the Russians.
I'll give you a simple example.
Seven million Ukrainians fled the country.
And this is a population.
It was a population of like 30.
Was it like 39 million at the time?
So you're looking at a massive portion of the of the country.
You know what?
20 percent fleeing instantly and large portions refusing to fight and being forced into conscription.
It is not a deeply patriotic and nationalistic nation.
Most of the people that I spoke with when I was down there and the sentiment that was conveyed to me, they want to join the EU so they could leave Ukraine and go and work in Europe where they'd make more money.
Right.
These are not people who are like the borderlands are our country, we believe in.
It's like, the oligarchs
who rule the country did it through force.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, they went around with guns and just
took over properties.
It doesn't have the same nationalist fervor as other
countries do. It's decreased
10 million
from 2021 to 2025.
Yep. 10 million.
I believe 7 million were fled at the start of the war.
6.9 to 8 million, yeah.
Yep, fled at the start of the war
or because of the war.
And aren't the east portion of Ukraine
were Russian?
Like they side with the Russians?
They're mostly like,
I think they're mostly like ethnically
and Russian speaking people
in the eastern portion.
As is Crimea,
where the Russian naval base is and has been since the Soviet era.
So for for Russia, they when the Soviet Union collapsed, they lost control of Ukraine for the most part, but still maintained these strategic military positions.
So they were not going to let NATO come in and bring people into the EU.
Let's jump to this next story. And I will just stress, my friends, the Trump joint presidential address will be starting around nine.
We do have the the videos queued up to go as soon as it does.
But we are grabbing the news in the meantime. So smash that like button.
Share the show. Share it on social media wherever you can.
And we'll read this from the Daily Mail. Exclusive.
Trump considers relinquishing leadership of NATO and insist UK and France take more responsibility as Starmer plans return to DC
with Zelensky to present United Front on peace plan. I mean, this right here, the first paragraph
is the news. Donald Trump is considering relinquishing its leadership role or is considering
having the US relinquish its leadership role in NATO after insisting that European allies take
more responsibility for the security of the continent, the mail can reveal. The US has
its leadership position since the founding of the Defense Alliance
in the aftermath of World War II.
Since then, the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe has always been a senior U.S. general.
But in line with the U.S.'s insistence that European allies take more responsibility for
Europe's security, it also expects a British or French general to take up this position.
This is massive.
Elon Musk advocated for us getting out of NATO.
I have been saying for the longest time, let's get out of nato let's get out of the un all these post-world war
two power structures that have been around for decades we all know about the corruption we all
know that they don't really do a whole lot except for collect a lot of money and do a lot of corrupt
stuff with it and i think that this whole crony power structure
kind of needs to go now what replaces it who knows like my my theory is that this is kind of
the old guard post-world war ii like the big new brzezinski and all like all those guys right in
the bush family that's all going away and it's like looking to me like the technocrats are the ones that are kind of
rising up and taking it over not sure that that's wholesale good but if they're going to dismantle
the deep state and take out all this nonsense there's no way that's bad i like the idea of
the united states not being the uh you know having a leadership role i role, as in not being the one that's directing what the UN does,
no matter what happens, for the UN to be effective, it is still going to rely on the
United States military. There's no question about that. So, you know, do we move to a situation
where the UN will decide, oh, we want to go and have troops here and have
troops there.
And the US will decide maybe we do want to go, maybe we don't want to go.
I think that's fine.
That doesn't say anything about Article 5.
If there's an attack on a NATO country, we're still obligated to defend them.
And I think that's OK.
But I think that the idea that the United States should be
able to, should have the sovereignty to decide when the U.S. is going to actually use military
force and not be, you know, told what they have to do by other countries, I think that's a good
thing for the United States. And it doesn't change the fact that the U.S. is still going to spend probably three to four percent of our GDP on the military. The U.S. will still make all kinds of
weapons and will still sell them to the rest of, you know, allied countries or, you know,
NATO countries. There will still be a military industrial complex in the United States. We're
not going to just get rid of all these companies. raytheon's not going to go out of business because this they'll still
make all those weapons the united states will still have access to that and so i don't think
that it it's it's going to it would be as much of a uh you know catastrophe as as people on the left
are going to where people in the democrat party are going to make it out to be they can't give
you a reason like honestly, honestly, listen,
Democrats and liberals, there's probably only the smallest amount who could engage in the sophistry required to explain why we should maintain NATO at current pace. Yeah. Global
order, the liberal economic order, expansionist policies, one world government, whatever, I guess
that's that's that's an ideological goal. I mean, honestly, if I asked somebody,
why should we be in NATO? And this, like a Krasenstein said, well, we want dominion over the earth. I'd be like, oh, okay. Right. I get that. I disagree. I don't think we should do that.
So, you know, I oppose that. It's okay when we do it, Tim.
No, I know. It's funny because I was talking to a liberal friend of mine recently and they were
saying like, yeah, well, Russia just does whatever they want. They take whatever they want. They
invade whoever they want. And I was like, you're talking of mine recently, and they were saying like, yeah, well, Russia just does whatever they want. They take whatever they want. They invade whoever they want.
And I was like, you're talking about the United States?
You're talking about us?
That's been my existence in this country.
There's been a war every presidency.
Trump was the first president not to start one, but he still had several under his belt.
Granted, they were given to him.
And he was doing tremendous to stop those wars.
It's funny that Trump's attitude now is like, why are we involved in these wars?
It's wasting our time and money.
And the Democrats are losing their minds.
Yeah, they're like, don't you dare stop the wars.
It's like, what?
You guys were the ones 20 years ago out protesting George W. Bush and no more wars and everything.
But now.
Yeah, but to be fair, when they were protesting George W. Bush, this was like, this was my
wake up call moment when
uh i'm a teenager punk rock music remember uh was it the system of down had that song where the music
video was all iraq war protest stuff what song was it do you remember uh it wasn't chop suey no no it
was a big one though and i was like man like why are we involved in this war and so i'm 16 i'm not
marching i'm i'm pissed off i'm like what is going on? I'm all angry. And then when Obama came around, he was like, vote for me and I will expand our Middle
Eastern presence. And everybody was like, no, no, no, he doesn't mean it. He's going to get
our troops out of Iraq. And I was like, isn't he saying he's going to bolster our troops in
Afghanistan? And they were like, no, listen, trust me, dude. How old was I? Like 20. They
were like, it's going to be different with him. He's not some old white guy. He's like, that's what the narrative was. They were like, he's not supposed
to be here. He's like some guy from Chicago who got lucky. You got to vote for him. And I was like,
all right, okay, well, let's give it a shot, you know? And then within like a few weeks,
he bombed a Pakistani village of women and children, or he authorized a drone strike that
bombed. And I was like, hey, wait a minute. I went back to all of these anti-war people I knew and I said, guys, help.
Obama's bombing people.
And they went, what?
Obama's bombing people.
We've got to protest.
Not protest what?
Obama, he's bombing people.
And they were like, yeah, we don't care about that.
We have moved on.
Yeah.
I was like, oh, OK.
And then I was like, I vote never again.
Well, and the only thing I do see them still pushing.
So like earlier today, there was Piers Morgan had a bunch of people on.
Andrew was on there, but other people were on there trying to defend Ukraine.
And what they did is something that is a very clear pattern.
I have a piece on my sub stack. I wrote about this called Patterns in Wartime Propaganda.
You can go back to before World War One and see this same narrative every time of we got to fight him over there so we don't have to fight him over here.
And they'll expand.
It's this expansionist like scaremongering of he's going to take the Balkans.
Right.
And they've done this every single time for over 100 years.
It's like how many times are we going to fall for this?
Real quick.
He's going to take the Balkans.
That's what.
Why should I care? Well, I don't know. Is it going to fall for this. Real quick. He's going to take the Balkans? Well, that's what... Why should I care?
Well, I don't know.
Is it going to make my eggs more expensive?
I think the Balkans will not do anything.
Is there Balkanese cheese that I'm going to be left out of or something?
What's going to happen?
Communism.
Communism.
I don't know.
I don't like communism.
They don't even really say...
So I'm listening.
They don't even really say communism anymore, but it's just like...
I got to be honest. If they said said communism i'd be more inclined to agree with
them you'd be like tell me more yeah if they were like uh putin is a communist and i'd be like really
prove it yeah i'm not i'm not so concerned i know i know like i know putin was a kgb guy and and
there there are people that say no he's he is actually a communist and he would like to see
the return of the soviet union I don't see that happening.
I don't think that he's going to go after any of the NATO countries because he can't even he could not even take Ukraine.
Right. Like the argument that, oh, he could have taken.
No, no. But the point the point is, yeah.
I mean, if he can't take Ukraine right with the rest of the world world doing what they did, he's certainly not going to take on NATO.
Ain't no way.
He's not taking Poland.
I'm just tired of being gaslit that anybody cares about the rights of Ukrainians or democracy or any of that.
That's not what any of this is about.
The people who are involved in this conflict want power and resources.
And it's about that.
It's not about the poor Ukrainian
people and their right to sovereignty or any of that crap. It's I'm so tired of hearing that
because it's just not true. That's the annoying thing, because there's just no logical reason
why an American would support Ukraine. None, none whatsoever. There is the simple I feel bad for a
foreign country that was invaded. But shall we go through the list of active conflicts around the globe?
And then I might ask you why you don't care about anyone else.
Well, the media hasn't pushed that and beat that into their brains
like they have with Ukraine.
Oh, so they're cultists.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
They love the propaganda.
And I don't know why have we said,
how come, I mean, I understand why,
because I'm America and I'm very nationalist and let's go team.
But like us doing, have to take over NATO, you know, run everything.
And we're like the boss babes of the world.
And I'm glad that Trump and Elon and not Elon has no to do this, but there's Trump and, you know, J.D. is like bringing that down.
Like, so let's settle that, you know, let them be their own boss babes, see what they got to do and see how they fare.
They don't fare good.
Sorry.
Sucks to be well i mean look that a lot of the changes that are happening are you know can have significant significantly bad effects on the united states we don't want to see the the
u.s no longer being the global reserve the dollar being no longer being the global reserve currency
because right now if china and russia want buy oil, they have to buy dollars first.
We have far too much debt as a nation to allow the rest of the world to stop buying our debt.
And if the dollar stops being the reserve currency, if oil stops being priced in dollars, then our debt probably goes up significantly.
And we can't get people to buy it anymore.
Let's hope that Doge follows through on their threat to audit the Federal Reserve,
because that would go a long way to solving some of that.
Well, I'm not so sure if it would solve it.
It would give the American people more information about what actually goes on,
but I don't know.
If we were finding out the same things about the federal reserve and the irs that we've been finding out about uh us aid i think it would
i think it would blow things wide open and we would have to restructure a lot of things i mean
i would like to see that but you know the reason part of the reason why we're on like the i'm not
the guy that's that like i don't back the federal reserve system but you if we were to just say okay
well we're going to move straight to a gold standard like we would have massive economic
problems the gold standard was problematic anyway and now we should the bitcoin reserve is a great
idea um there's other ways that they could handle it i'm not saying that we need to go back to the
gold standard i think there were already problems with the gold standard, but there's definitely problem with just endless money printing and
billions of dollars of debt and all the abuses that everyone has.
I was listening to this,
you know,
Rush Limbaugh talk about this as a kid in the early nineties and we're
still dealing with it.
So Ron Paul was talking about it like through the,
through the nineties and throughout all of all the odds and stuff.
I was,
I was a Ron or am still a Ron Paul guy.
I think the Ron Paul's got, you know, really great ideas.
I voted for him when he ran.
Yeah, me too.
But yeah, it's not as simple as just, oh, you know, the U.S. should withdraw from the world.
Because if the U.S. withdraws from the world, then China and Russia do expand.
I'm not saying withdraw from the world.
There is no, like you don't want to have a vacuum of power.
Would that be...
Well, we're already in a multipolar world, right?
China and Russia are already fairly powerful.
I don't think...
I don't think that...
I don't think we're in as much of a multipolar world
as some people think.
The United States still has
such incredible economic and military power.
I mean, I've watched... watched i mean this is just stuff on
you know youtube or on the internet and stuff but like the rest of the world we it's likely that we
could take on like china and if you took out nukes right you could take china and and russia the
united states would likely be able to take china and russia in a military conflict if you took out
nukes nukes would destroy the whole world world. There's no other individual country that's going to be able
to take on China and Russia at all, even with the number of people that China has.
So if China and Russia expand, what do you think would be,
how far do you think that would go? And what do you think the problems would be specifically?
Well, I do think that China would take over the South China Sea, and that would go and what do you think the problems would be specifically well i do think that the china would take over the south china sea and that would change the way that you have to do
shipping routes because china doesn't just look at like china and taiwan as china like they think
south korea is china they think at least part of japan is china and probably india i'm not i i do
believe that there are border conflicts with india currently yeah yeah yeah they can't use weapons
they've used sticks yeah so china actually does think that they have significantly more territory than the rest of the world actually agrees with.
If they were to police the South China Sea, that changes the trade routes and everything.
That has a massive effect on anything that goes through there, that gets shipped through there.
The prices change.
You have a significant change you have to have the u.s would have to have actual infrastructure for
the chips that we use now now granted we have begun taking steps to do something about that
but that has to happen faster if they were to just change within the next two or three years
we wouldn't have the infrastructure built in the u.s to have have the the semiconductors built here that we need and that would have massive effects on our our economy in the military
it'd have massive effects on our our all the the electronics that we all use i i think that the
downstream effects of china or russia expanding and and taking up a power vacuum that would be
left by the united states just withdrawing. I think that that has significant downstream outcomes that, first of all, you can't actually predict. And also,
the obvious ones would be significantly bad for the U.S. economy and for the average American
in the U.S. We're about a half an hour away from the Trump address, but we were talking quite a
bit about Trump's administration being Democrats and liberals moving and left going crazy.
So I was reminded of this this video.
We're going to do a special segment here just because I pulled it up and I think it's hilarious.
This is a video from 2008, I believe.
It's called Prop 8, the musical.
Many of you may have seen it's got one point two million views on.
Oh, it's 15 years ago.
So it's probably, I'm pretty sure it's 2008 because Prop 8 was in 2008.
So this is the liberal worldview 15 years ago.
And it's only three minutes long.
I'm not going to play the full thing.
Well, I mean, we'll just play it.
And then we'll talk about where Democrats were back then, what they claimed.
Without burying the lead.
Basically, you have that meme where it says if we pass gay marriage, if we enact these liberal policies, conservatives warned back then that you'd get these creepy books in schools. OK. And Democrats said it was not true. It was never going to happen.
And now here we are. So let's play some of this real quick.
So you guys get the context with With Jack Black and Jesse Elliott.
Sure. Yep, absolutely.
It's a brand new bright Obama day.
What a time to be black or gay.
No, nothing could go wrong.
So join us in the song of happy days for the gays.
Nothing can go wrong.
Look, nobody's watching. The happy days for the gays, nothing can go wrong.
Look, nobody's watching.
It's time to spread some hate and put it in the Constitution.
Now how?
Proposition 8.
Proposition 8.
Great.
People listen to our plea.
They'll teach kids about sodomy.
Sodomy.
So, uh,
just right there, right away,
it's important context to what the liberals were saying back then
and how they were lying.
It's really fascinating, right? There's a little bit
more. Listen to how they respond.
That wasn't right. That's a lie. more. Listen to how they respond. That wasn't right.
That's a lie.
But it worked, so we don't care.
So it wasn't a lie, and it didn't work because they still got—well, I think it—did Prop 8 pass or was it defeated?
It's been a long time.
I think it was defeated, and then didn't the Supreme Court come in or something?
Yeah, it was in California, right?
California voted a very, very large margin against Prop 8. And then the Supreme Court of
California came in and said, no, you can't. So it literally went against the will of the people of
California. I just really want to screen grab that caption where it says, that's a lie. Because here
we are now dealing with the fallout of how, there it is, that wasn't right. That's a lie. And it's
literally what happened.
And this is a big component of the culture war.
And,
you know,
I was thinking about Obama voting for him,
what he was supposed to bring about race relations got worse under Obama.
DEI is rapid expansion,
further exacerbating tensions between various races.
They were wrong about everything that they claimed conservatives were lying about.
And now here we are.
Donald Trump ends up winning as a Republican with Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, many others who were former Democrats who largely believed this BS.
And then sure enough, what ended up happening is they put these creepy books in schools.
They started having men compete against women. And no matter what, no matter what you say, Democrats
keep defending it, despite the fact polling
shows only around 18%
approval for males competing against
females in sports. Teaching about
sodomy is actually the
low stuff.
Like, well, you
know, man. It almost seems
reasonable at this point compared to
the rest of the agenda. Isn't it quaint that they were like teaching about sodomy?
No.
What they're going to do is they're going to teach your kid to chop their genitals off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Could you imagine if they said that back then?
They'd be like, okay, please stop.
You're nuts.
Look at what, look at the Bill Maher and I forget what his name is.
Don Lovett?
No.
Bill Maher had the conservative guy Prager.
Dennis Prager was on.
Oh, right.
Dennis Prager was like, they're talking, they're teaching.
They're putting tampons in the men's bathroom.
They're teaching that boys can menstruate.
And Bill Maher and the whole Democrat, you know, the whole panel was like, oh, you're so silly.
You're so crazy.
That story at the time on Bill Maher's real time. And this is my biggest problem with real time.
It is I don't know why people go on that show.
And I think it's because we have an addiction to the past.
This is why our politicians are aging.
Young people don't step up.
Stop glamorizing.
Look, with all due respect to Bill Maher, I'm not trying to be a dick, but real time doesn't have the ratings.
It's an old show, but people it's been around for 20 years. It's the show. I remember it. And they don't they don't
realize when Prager went on that show and said they're putting tampons in the boys bathroom.
Bill Maher said, oh, that's for their girlfriends. Is it? No. They're saying men can menstruate.
Everybody laughed. That show happened three years after the the culture war issue about tampons in the men's room.
Three years.
So if you look at the initial reporting from all the prominent progressive outlets
and corporate news outlets on the issue of tampons in the men's room,
that happened, I think it was like 2015, and the pre-coup episode was 2018.
Bill Maher didn't even know about a major story that was in all of the press three years prior.
But people keep going on shows like this.
And it's because of name and brand recognition.
It's brilliant.
It's masterful.
Dude, we had a vice president and a presidential nominee with Tim Walz who actually put them in his schools.
And it was proud of that.
And the whole Democratic Party loved that fact.
It was like mainstream on their side and now Bill Maher
was having a conversation with a guy from
Pod Save America and he said the Democrats
have to get off this gender issue
and they won't do it
and Bill Maher was like
how many voters are you remember that
Bill Maher did like I gotta give him respect because he's got a lot
of good ones on this he said
Democrats are defending the right of transgender people of color to be in the prison
for which they identify their sex. He's like, why are they courting the votes of 432 people?
Like, this is such a niche issue. It doesn't affect their voter block in any way. The argument
they come up with is because we believe in rights for everybody. And it's like, fine, but that's a weird political stance to take
where you know you're going to lose
and then defend nobody's rights.
I hope they keep doing it forever.
Just keep doing Democrats.
I mean, maybe that's the real deep state plan.
Democrats go insane so that Republicans win
and then Republicans become
the single party authoritarian government.
Count me in.
Well, I guess.
I mean,
we do live in a leftist milieu,
and it is
really bad that to try
to do anything
right of center gets you
plastered as
a Nazi or
fascist or whatever.
But if that keeps up,
you're going to have more
because right now, young people are not
afraid of the word fascist anymore.
There's a pretty long list of
words they're not afraid of that will always
get you canceled words, and they say
them for fun now.
It's like, it's fun. I have
nephews who are young 20-year-old men.
Well, it's the new punk rock, right?
It's the new punk rock to say the thing.
It's actually pretty wild.
California voted that, they literally voted in 2008 that marriage was only valid if it
was between a man and a woman.
And the Supreme Court overruled their democracy.
How come?
You know, but it was California Supreme Court.
Just to get it right, it's California Supreme Court said that.
I'm looking at it right now.
Yeah, it was the California Supreme Court.
But it's like when Elon Musk gets hired to do Doge, they're like, unelected officials, unelected officials, right?
But it's never applied evenly.
They always just make up the rules as they go.
And whatever is politically expedient is just what they go with.
In 2024,
finally, they
repealed Proposition 8. Isn't that crazy?
It's been so long, but only now they finally
got rid of it. California was very
much like traditional marriage. And at the time, Obama
opposed gay marriage and Hillary Clinton opposed
gay marriage in 2016.
The
really far left stuff is not popular.
It's just not.
You see the way that people are reacting to like men and women's bathrooms,
the idea that gender is a social construct and it doesn't matter,
your sex doesn't matter and you can actually become the other sex.
Like all that stuff stuff normal people reject it
totally and the people that don't
only the only reason they don't
is because they're afraid of the consequences
so you may
you all may have heard
I had a kid recently
apparently nobody knew
and I was in the maternity ward
and was postpartum
is what it's called right so it's like two different it's like labor and postpartum is what it's called, right?
So it's like two different – it's like labor and postpartum.
And not a single instance of gender ideology was anywhere.
Yay.
On the walls – and this is Loudoun County, right?
This is like the heart of the deep state.
On the walls were – like they had big things saying – it said, it's a boy, girl.
Like on the walls in every room, they could write boy or girl.
All the forms said boy or girl.
There was not an instance anywhere of gender ideology.
I asked one of the nurses, I was like, you ever get anybody in here who says, don't gender my baby or anything?
And they were like, no, never.
Gender.
Not once.
Nobody's in there calling it their baby.
Nope.
This is my baby.
Never.
No men gave birth in that place?
They said, we've never seen anything like that.
And they were like, I don't know.
I've heard stuff about it, but we've never seen anything like that.
Every day women are coming in and they're having children, and it's just like a normal couple.
The woman gives birth.
They said, it's a boy.
And they're like, yay.
And then here's what you got to do.
Go home.
But I was told by one of the nurses that in college, the college requires them to learn it all.
All the non-binary.
And then as soon as they get into the practice, it's gone.
And I'm like, well, that's – yeah, for now though.
Hopefully with Trump getting in and these moves, it never actually permeates.
But I got to tell you, it would be nuts if I went in and they were like, do you believe in gender?
I'd be like, why are you asking?
Gender revealed at the age of 16 party.
Yeah.
On the wall poster.
But that was the joke that I made that I kept insisting to the doctor.
He said it was a girl.
And I was like, no, they haven't chosen their gender yet.
That is reassuring.
Some of my liberal friends got mad and they were like, that you would use your daughter for the culture war.
You can't do that.
And I was like, I can joke about whatever I can and I will.
Yeah, I'm making a joke. But get out of here. Come on.
I mean, the whole question of, oh, you know, do you believe in gender?
I've said this multiple times on the show. I don't even want to hear the word gender anymore.
I guess just sex. That's all there is. Everything else is just mean.
Same thing.
I mean, same thing.
I reject this.
But gender means no stop.
Gender and sex mean the same thing.
Go away.
All right.
We're going to talk about this next story.
That's in The New York Times.
Canada and China retaliate against U.S. tariffs, which Trudeau derides as dumb.
I would play the video for you, but I can't stand hearing Justin Trudeau speak because he sounds like someone's gripping his balls and twisting them.
He talks like this.
No, stop.
So, yeah, they're retaliating.
But I don't really care that much about what Trudeau has to say because it's frail and weak.
He did this whole speech where he's like, this one is to the American people.
They are screwing you over, your government.
And I'm like, quiet.
I voted for this.
You sound like you're doing
a South Park character.
That's how he talks.
He sounds like a South Park character.
Yeah.
He sounds like the Canadians
from South Park.
Trudeau sounds like
someone's, you know,
got him by the balls.
And he's like,
So anyway,
here's the story
that I actually think
is really interesting
is that the Ontario PM
has threatened Americans
who rely on the Canadian grid with cutting off their electricity.
Scumbag.
Yo, that's interesting because that's going to result in death.
We're talking about like 1.5 million people.
You got to estimate there's some elderly and diabetics in there.
You can't just cut off their electricity like that.
He's saying he's going to do it.
This is where we're at with the tariffs.
And you had Warren Buffett.
I think it was Buffett, right?
He said tariffs are an act of war sometimes.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
People are getting real salty about their free trade garbage.
But at the same time, UAW is backing Trump's tariffs.
Nice.
So let's go.
What do you guys think?
So I don't know.
UAW is the United Auto Workers, right?
Yeah.
I mean, look, generally, I think tariffs are bad or I have thought tariffs are bad.
When he's when Trump has used them as leverage, that's been it's seemed to work successfully in a few cases, I'm not 100% sure what he's trying to do here. Because it seems like what he's trying to do is incentivize American companies to build
or incentivize companies to build things in the U.S.
And I don't know if that's a smart use of tariffs.
Well, I was reading this earlier, and you can fact check me if we're not sure, but I
believe, so Canada has a bunch of tariffs on our stuff.
And it's like 45% or something like that on cars.
So I could see why the UAW would be in favor of having a bit of a tariff war.
Because it's what Trump's been saying since 2016 was that it's just very unfair.
It's super skewed.
It's not really free trade if everybody else is allowed to put tariffs
on us, but we're not allowed to put tariffs on them. Correct? Yeah. I mean, that is I mean,
that does make sense. But I you know, I'm just I'm a little, I guess, apprehensive about the
about if it's going to work. Well, stuff's going to change. I mean, it's not transition periods
sometimes are painful in the short term. but is it smart to just keep going with
the status quo when it doesn't make any sense and we're kind of being ripped off and everybody gets
to take advantage of the united states we have to pay for everything we have to pay for nato we have
to pay for the un everybody can slap tariffs on us but if we do it like oh we've got to be really
careful i don't know i think they they did have have a there was a number of tariffs from Canada in like 2018.
There was steel, aluminum, whiskey, toilet paper, maple syrup, yogurt, coffee, maple syrup.
How dare they? Protectionism, Canada, protectionism much.
And then dairy and agriculture stuff. But most of the tariffs were actually as a part of ongoing trade war stuff. So right now, Canada's got a tariff on U.S. orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
I guess Casper can't be selling to Canadians anymore.
Uh-oh.
Appliances, apparel and footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics, certain pulp and paper products.
Well, it's going to affect people individually, and that does suck.
I mean, if you own a paper company and you're like, uh-oh, we're losing Canadian customers,
I understand it's bad.
In the big picture of the United States, no more freebies, Canada.
No more freebies.
I just think that he's Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
That's his name.
Doug Ford.
He said, yo, he literally said...
He said, where's the coke at, right?
He probably did, but he said, if they want to
annihilate Ontario,
I will do everything, including cut
off their energy with a smile on my face.
So he wants to cut off the energy
with a smile on his face. This guy sounds like a
terrible, I'm not going to swear, terrible, disgusting
human being to cut off energy with a smile
on his face because he has some kind of make-believe
beef with Donald Trump. You know know that's enough that's f that guy that is is like the point of
this this is all you know we're gonna do this because we don't like donald trump we're you know
this is all about personal grievance with donald i think all these entrenched like this power
structure is so entrenched and the people who are getting so much out of it of course they don they don't want to change. And of course, they're going to fight back tooth and nail because you're taking away their their little grift here that they have going on.
You know, we all know that members of Congress are making inordinate amounts of money compared to what their salary is supposed to be.
This power structure is old and all these people are, you know, in behind closed doors.
They're all on the same team and
they're all getting the deal you know and trump's kind of coming in and going i don't think so the
infrastructure that's been built over the past 20 or 30 years has been in to grow the canadian
mexican economies to stabilize the north american economic block so what you end up with is go back
to 90s and it was like three to four dollars for a canadian to one u.s dollar and pesos were worse than that now it's getting closer to congress pesos are still a little bad
but canadian dollars are now close to the u.s dollar because what happened is through these
free trade deals we gave up all of our manufacturing base and raw materials to canada we get lumber
from canada we have trees we can we can make regrowth for us and grow our own trees and so
he has the nerve to come out and say that we're going to lose access to these important goods. And I'm like, well, we only lost access because scumbags in our government sold out the about it. People retire. They lost their jobs. And now Canada's mad because they're going to go back to where they were.
They're a very small economy.
They should not be as big as they are, but we give them our labor.
We subsidize them.
Exactly.
No more freebies.
It's a little bit personal for me.
Growing up in a small rural town in Michigan in the 80s and 90s,
I watched my hometown die as a result of NAFTA.
Our whole economy was farmland.
And then in the town, we had a GM plant that made parts.
And when they passed NAFTA, it closed down.
The whole town started to die off.
The people who are still there were there because they're stuck.
They were too poor to get out.
And so drugs come in and crime comes in.
It just destroyed people's lives.
I saw this video where they put Chris Farley and David Spade from Tommy Boy into Shark Tank.
I saw that.
Saw that one?
That was hilarious.
And it's like they're trying to sell the brake pads to the sharks.
The sharks don't want it.
I got an idea.
Okay.
Maybe someone out there can do this.
You need to take scenes from Tommy Boy.
You know what Tommy Boy is, right?
Yeah.
Of course.
Who doesn't?
We're all Americans.
If you don't, Chris Farley, David Spade in the 90s,
and they have to go.
So Chris Farley's dad dies, and he's this great salesman
for the Callahan Auto Parts.
He paints ships.
Yes, right.
The whole town relies on this one auto factory.
All the jobs are there. And if that plant closes, the town will collapse.
Chris Farley's dad dies. He's Tommy. So he goes off trying to sell brake pads so that he can get
enough orders to keep the plant open. And he struggles and learns along the way, whatever.
Someone needs to go in and use AI to change it to NAFTA and Bill Clinton signing a
deal and then the plant closing down and reopening in Mexico with a bunch of just like outsourced
labor and be like, there you go, Tommy boy. So so here's the here's the edit I'd like to see.
He succeeds in selling the brake pads. They go, yay. And then the next year he looks at it. He's
like, everyone's canceled on us. Why? Or how about this? He goes to sell. And instead of any of these joke scenes where he tries to convince him, they say, why buy
from you when I can buy from Mexico for a dollar less?
Buy.
And then the plant goes out of business.
Everyone loses their job.
And the final scene is everybody's homeless.
Yeah, there you go.
And it's cold up in Canada.
You need homes.
You need walls.
So you better do right by us.
I mean, like I said, I've got some people that are actually tweeting at me to the list of the things that are under tariff or that are tariffed by Canada.
And it's actually, it looks fairly egregious.
270% for milk, I think it was.
Milk is, Canada imposes tariffs on U.S. goods.
Dairy products, milk 270%, cheese 245, butter 298, poultry 238, eggs 163, barley 160, wheat 94, sugar 265, peanut butter 295, rice 150, vegetables 100%, fish products 100%, lumber 20, shoes 30.
If this is true now again this is this
is just someone sent this on twitter so it could be wrong i could be you know someone could be you
know making a joke out of me or whatever um but i mean if that's the case wow i don't i don't see
how canada's in any position to actually behave as if they grow. They don't have the cards.
You don't have the cards.
You don't have any cards.
We've got the cards.
And use the hands.
She was doing it.
She was doing it.
She was doing it. Oh, yeah.
They grow peanuts up there.
It's like protectionists.
Check out this clip from Brian Cranston.
It says scenes from Ontario, Canada, making America great again by making the world hate
us and not buy from us.
This is American liquor produced in red states that has been ordered to be taken off the
shelves across Ontario.
You know, I don't think he realizes I laughed my ass off when I saw this video.
Watch.
It's already paid for, you idiots.
Look.
So it's just there.
There comes all.
What brand is that?
Can you tell?
Is that bullet?
It doesn't hurt.
It doesn't hurt.
I was like, dude, there's no tariff on it.
You have it already. You can sell it. They're like, dude, there's no tariff on it. You have it already.
You can sell it.
They're like, oh, yeah, we'll show you.
We'll take all the stuff we own and get rid of it.
It's like, okay, that doesn't faze me.
We can sell it to you twice.
We're going to lose money.
Just for spite?
Was it just for spite?
I'm going to lose for the video.
It's that one.
It's totally all for spite.
And that's the point.
Like, this is all, none of this is actually doing anything.
This is all performative and it's all for spite.
And if the tariff issue is settled in three days, the company that bought those is out the booze.
They have to buy more of the booze because the tariffs are gone and their customers are going to come in and be like, yeah, I like that.
Where is it? How come I can't get
it anymore? Well, the whole tariff and then be like
the tariff thing's over, man. Like that
stopped. I think
this would work. I think that Trump's
tariff war would work and I think it would
work so well. It'd be the best tariff war
you've ever seen. And the reason
they're so like screaming
they're doing their work is because
it will work. And then he's going to look awesome and they're going to screaming they're doing their work is because it will work.
And then he's going to look awesome and they're going to be blown out.
I mean, of course,
I do hope that it works
because I want to see good things
happen for the U.S.
So we right now
for the Trump joint
address to the joint session of Congress,
they are just introducing,
I believe, the Supreme Court justices.
They're coming in to take their seats.
Not a whole lot right now going on.
I believe the White House is scheduled for 9, 10 p.m.
And previous speeches by Trump have been estimated around 80 minutes.
So then we will just sit here and stare at the screen and enjoy ourselves.
But be careful. Don't fall asleep.
I know that Donald Trump has a soothing voice, which may
lull you into a beautiful and comfortable rest.
What was that?
What did you say? I said, be careful not to fall
asleep, because I know Trump has a beautiful voice, which will
lull you into a peaceful rest.
Some people say probably
it's the best voice you've ever heard.
I just have a long...
I basically
use the AI voice generator to have Donald Trump read me Harry Potter to sleep every night.
So I just put on my headphones.
You're a wizard, Harry.
And Harry was like, whoa.
I'm kidding.
I don't do that.
I actually – you know what?
As an aside, as we wait for Trump.
So I have this thing called a sleep sanity.
Yeah. I actually, you know what, as an aside, as we wait for Trump. So I have this thing called a sleep sanity. Yep.
And as you know, Phil knows, deep sleep is the most important for muscle regeneration.
Yep.
And if you keep waking up and you're not getting your deep sleep, you're going to be fatigued.
Your muscles ain't going to be working right.
So I've been trying to figure out how to get the most deep sleep I can.
So I bought this thing.
It's a headband.
You put it on.
And you Bluetooth it.
It's got a program that, as you're going to bed, orange lights light up around
the visor and the visor dims. So that stimulates melatonin production. And then you can have it
play white noise, but it only plays the white noise for like 20 minutes. So I've been trying
it. It really did improve my sleep. But then the other day it turns off after 20 minutes.
So if you're not already asleep or you wake up, it's off. And then I'm like, okay,
so what I did was it's a Bluetooth headset. so i just turned on 10 hours of thunderstorms put it to max volume yeah i got two
hours of deep sleep usually we do uh we do a white noise through from uh spotify has like a white
noise thing that just goes all night long what like but so like what kind of white noise you
have you heard a green noise i've heard i've got there are. I've got an app that's got brown noise, violet noise, white noise.
Yeah.
I've seen the TikTok videos about that.
Brown noise is dangerous.
I don't put that one on.
Brown noise.
You know what I always do?
I just end up putting on a fan.
I'm old school, I guess.
Fans do work.
Fans do work.
I just sleep.
I don't need noise.
But you may not. See, here's the thing, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, Phil, because you've been doing music for so long. Fans do work. I just sleep. I don't need noise. But you may not.
See, here's the thing, right?
Oh, yeah, I mean Phil, because you've been doing music for so long.
Oh, fair.
Here's the thing, though.
You might be getting really bad sleep and not realize it.
Oh, I wake up all the effing freaking time.
Yeah, try some white noise.
So I got my watch that tracks.
I got my bed.
I got the Sleep 8 bed that Luke recommended.
And it tracks.
Like, the Sleep 8 bed is crazy.
It shows the whole night. I don't know how it does it. It's amazing. And it's. Like, the Sleep 8 bed is crazy. It shows the whole night.
I don't know how it does it.
It's amazing.
And it's like, here's when you woke up.
Here's when you fell asleep.
Here's when you were in REM.
Here's where light sleep.
Here's deep sleep.
It tracks it all.
Mine does that, and it does heart rate and respiratory rate and all that.
Your watch or your bed?
My watch.
Oh, yeah.
My bed does it.
Oh.
Yeah, it's weird.
And it also...
Jinx.
You know what's crazy?
So Luke recommended this bed to me a
while ago because it's got this little machine you put water in it and then it can use the water to
cool and heat the bed yeah that's sick yeah it's super cool and i've been sleeping on this for so
long i i totally forgot what it was like to wake up too hot dude and so then the like the past
weekend i fell asleep on the the couch watching movies or whatever.
I woke up super hot.
And then I had to throw the blanket off and be like, whoa, I haven't experienced that in so long.
Because the bed cools as you're getting too hot so you don't wake up.
It's crazy.
Super awesome.
Sounds awesome.
Maybe it might be a Christmas gift to all the employees for folks who sleep hot.
A $3,000 sleep mattress.
Oh, is that what it mattress. I think the mattress covers
a couple hundred bucks. I hope you all
are enjoying the patter as
we currently wait for Trump to
come to the...
You have expectations, Tim, in everyone.
I think that Trump is
going to walk up, he's going to look
at everybody, and then he's going to
have this bright, holy glow as he levitates in front look at everybody and then he's going to have this bright holy glow
as he levitates in front of everybody and then he casts a a beam of light over all of the evildoers
and they instantly get vaporized and uh i think he's gonna all the demons i think he's gonna be
bold and he's gonna go for it because of what just happened with zelensky i think he's just
done taking crap and he's just gonna because it's a of what just happened with Zelensky. I think he's just done taking crap, and he's just going to.
Because it's a hostile room, right?
I mean, not fully, but at least half the room, if not more.
Do you think they're going to wiggle the egg cartons like they said they were?
I hope so.
I hope they wear their white suits and wiggle their stupid egg cartons.
Be like, look, no eggs.
It'll be the group of the women what
do they call them the squad yeah and they really don't have eggs because they're like you know
past their prime and then we can make fun of them remember how remember how the left and the
democrats behaved when someone called barack obama a liar that was that was big news and it was it
was such a break of decorum, et cetera, et cetera.
Now they're literally talking about, openly talking about heckling the president with props and everything.
You know?
You think Elon will come in and start doing his weird tism dance?
His heart's going to come out to everyone.
His heart's out to everyone.
He's going to come in and rism with the tism.
He is there.
Rism with the tism.
All right.
Here we go.
It's a new song.
I don't think Elon's actually autistic.
I don't either.
He's just, when he is a little bit awkward, that's what everybody likes to say.
I think that Gen Z just calls any slight awkwardness autism now.
He said that he's on the spectrum.
He said that he's on the spectrum. He said that he's on the spectrum.
What's written all over her stupid pink suit?
14th Amendment.
Oh, God, that's Maisie Hirono.
She's literally about as bad as you can get.
She's just absolutely awful.
I would say that she is dumb as a box of rocks,
but I don't want to insult rocks.
She is dumb as Maxine Waters?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, I was just checking.
That was over the line.
We're going to have to neck and neck,
Rachel, neck and neck.
Did you know
that Maxine Waters is alleged
to have funneled a million dollars
to her daughter through campaign funding?
I completely believe that.
There can't be any other reason for her to be there.
So a lot of the news that we didn't get to today,
Lee Zeldin uncovering EPA schemes.
The Biden administration was sending millions of dollars
to fake nonprofits.
Shocker.
Nonprofits that had only like $100 in the books
were getting millions of dollars.
Doge found a child shelter
that was completely empty, getting $18 million
per month. What? Isn't that the one I heard
like a billion a year
and there was an empty facility?
Yep. Alright, we got
Melania. Melania Trump is hot.
That's amazing. Yeah, she is.
She's beautiful. She's got great clothes on.
I love her. She should be arriving any minute.
Hey, Riley Boone's right there.
Oh, yeah? Yeah Gould's right there. Oh, yeah?
Yeah, she's just there.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Mr. Speaker, the President's Cabinet.
Hey, let's go.
Who's that lady? Hey, let's go! I know most of the cabinets. I've never known all the cabinets before. Tambon? It's still crazy when you hear that Tambon is like 60 years old.
Yes.
Like unreal.
Yeah.
Buntuck?
Buntuck is a beautiful brand.
You think it's worth it?
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
It's not possible in human nature.
I like to believe in the power of fitness.
It helps.
Maybe she eats that Power Beats or whatever that Dana Lash sells.
RFK,
he does look like he's
wearing a human mask.
He kind of does.
The worm has taken over.
There's an actual face underneath.
Ate by Jim Bob just did a cartoon of him that is so funny.
It's so good.
The drawing is just so perfect.
Totally nailed it.
It's hilarious.
It's just slightly broken.
Oh, look at Schiff.
Oh, Schiff is garbage.
It's hilarious that Pete Hegseth is the sec def.
I back him.
I think that he's going to do a good job,
and I like the fact that he wasn't a general.
I think he was a major.
I love the stuff that he did when he was PTing with the troops, the guys.
That was awesome.
The guys love him.
The average rank-and-file military dudes really respect him.
Oh, Zeldin.
Oh, no. Oh, Kirstie Noem took off the plate carrier. Military dudes. Really respect them. Oh, Zeldin. Oh, no.
Oh, Kirstie Nome took off the plate carrier.
Good job.
No, she's done way too much.
Yeah.
She's done way too much.
You look at a picture of her from 10 years ago, it doesn't even look like the same person.
And then when she was doing the fully glammed out promo videos in the outfits, I was like...
She did another one just yesterday.
I saw a picture of her.
She's all done up with a picture of her. Homeland Security Barbie.
She's all done up with a carrier.
Yeah.
Nice beanie on.
I was posting to X.
I was like, Homeland Security Barbie comes with the border security play set.
We are getting ready for the arrival of President Donald Trump,
so smash that like button if you could.
Comments.
Get involved.
Be active.
Don't just be a passive listener.
Join in the fun and comments and share the show right now as Donald Trump is about to speak.
And we're going to hear what he has to say about the State of the Union.
It's not a State of the Union.
It's a joint address to Congress, okay?
Or it's an address to Congress in joint session.
It's going to be a state of the world, basically.
Yeah. And then I think we're actually going to switch to the official White House player,
which is about to start when it does.
But for now, we have this from WFAA.
It's just people coming in and schmoozing.
RFK juniors are looking around kind of awkwardly.
Is he actually now pushing the MMR vaccine or not?
He is.
He issued an op-ed in Fox News saying,
guys, you need to get vaccinated.
I've been telling people.
They were lying about him being anti-vax.
He's always been moderate.
Like, we interviewed the guy, and he was like,
vaccines are great.
We got to have proper testing on all of these things.
We should rush things out.
I was like, okay.
And then the media was like, he hates and wants to get rid of vaccines.
And I'm like, that's not going to happen.
He is now, as HHS secretary, telling people,
please get vaccinated.
And even if he's like, oh, you know, you shouldn't get these or I don't like these or whatever, he's not going to, like, make vaccines illegal.
You can still go ahead and get all the vaccines you want.
Like, it's literally just people are going to be given the options.
I do hope he bans pharmaceutical commercials, though.
That would be great.
However, that FENAPT commercial, have you ever seen that one?
I love that commercial.
It's on Fox News.
It's like an anime commercial.
That's the only ads they have now.
Oh, I know.
It's all drugs.
Pharmaceutical ads.
Like GLP-1 or whatever.
But the FENAPT one is this, like, German woman, I guess.
And it's like the commercial, I love it so much.
It's this blonde woman who like goes to her job
and she sees like an elderly couple laughing and she smiles.
And then like she's closing up shop
and her boyfriend shows up,
but she lost her key or something.
And the whole time this weird,
like hokey little family friendly thing is going on.
It's like FENAPT is for people
who are suffering bipolar disorder
and it may cause sudden stroke or death.
It prolongs the QT interview, which been associated with heart arrhythmia and sudden death
And it's listing all of these
Insane side effects
It may
And it's been associated with literally killing people
And then like
It's just like someone smiling
And the guy's like, oh, they're hugging
I love the herpes and the AIDS
Medication I love herpes and the AIDS medication.
I love herpes and AIDS.
Everyone knows.
The commercials for those are,
it's just like people having the time of their life with herpes, right?
It's like they're on this awesome date and they're having a big date.
Right, and bites and a bee.
Everything is hilarious.
They're just laughing the whole time, smiling,
and it's like, ask your doctor if Beltrex is right for you.
I haven't had an outbreak in three weeks.
Yay.
But there's a, the, the, so the funny thing is, like, look, man, I don't know what it's like to have bipolar 1 disorder or whatever.
I'm not, I'm not going to rag on it.
Maybe people really are like, I would risk death to get a medication for this.
That's fine.
I just think it's really funny that, like, the side effects that the side effects are, it's like it will prolong the QT
interval, which is associated with heart arrhythmia and
sudden death. Or, you know, elderly are
increased risk of death and stroke. And then I'm just
like, geez, man. But
I laugh when I see that, and I'm like, I don't know, man.
Look, if you get prescribed a medicine, you need it. That's fine.
But the GLP-1, or
what is it? GLP-1. It's like these
commercials of morbidly obese people. And here's
the craziest thing to me about Ozempic
and stuff. So you mean to tell me
you have the willpower
to inject yourself with a drug
every day, but not the willpower
to not eat that extra scoop of ice cream.
That's nuts to me.
If someone sees you put a needle in your body, then...
I disagree. That's crazy
to me. Aren't those once a week?
Are they once a week? I think they're once
a week. Either way, like injecting
yourself instead of just being like, maybe I won't eat?
Look, let me tell you. Let me give you
a shot. Alright. You're at a restaurant
and somebody says, you want a slice
of pizza? No.
No is
not an option, bro. Save myself some money there.
No, they can't say no, but
they can say yes to a shot.
I mean, when people are handing you Taco Bell left and right.
That I understand.
Because if somebody came up and offered me a cheesy gordita crunch right now, I'm taking it.
There's no no to that.
There are, in my opinion, there are legitimate times where, like, someone, where GLP-1s and stuff like that are good.
It's definitely not good for everybody.
It's definitely not necessary for people that are looking to lose 15, 20 pounds.
Dude, like, not all, but a lot of depression, just go for a walk.
Yeah.
That's not a joke.
The exercise will help fix that problem.
Go for it.
Like, start exercising.
But you've got all these people who are very sick and overweight,
and they're like, I don't know what's wrong with many drugs.
And it's like, dude, it's because you're eating cinnamon toast crunch
by the full box every breakfast, and you don't exercise at all.
So your hormones are out of whack.
You're full of carbohydrates with no proteins.
Eat a steak.
Have some broccoli or maybe a chicken breast if you don't want to do the red meat.
And just start walking.
First of all, talk to your doctor because some people have serious issues.
Maybe you need medication.
Some of them get so far gone down that road that they need significant help getting back to the point
where they can even do physical activity, which is pretty horrible.
I hope he bans those commercials, man.

Who does not love seeing that?
Yeah, I love watching the videos where it's like a guy's fat and then he's like three months later.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Forget about it.
Yeah.
That's what you got to do, man.
Protein.
Hell yeah.
That's right.
For a long time. I've been doing the whole protein and weightlifting
thing since 2008 and it's not i don't look like some fitness model or anything but it literally
has gotten me through the worst things i've been through in life juice for that better than therapy
you know like wave it like the real juice yeah no gear like steroids If you want to drive in. Can you hook me up, Phil? No, but the whole, like, people that are on stage for fitness and stuff, they're all on.
Is this it?
Is Trump here?
Is HGH different?
Who's this guy?
Yes, HGH is not here.
Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States.
Thank you.
Let's go.
All right, let's see if we can.
Yep, still.
HD.
Okay, can we show it now?
Is that right here?
Our president has arrived. Whoa, my bad.
We're switching over to the White House player.
So it looks like the White House player looks crusty.
Yeah, the resolution is much worse.
But it's the official White House feed, so maybe it'll improve in a second.
Otherwise, we've got to switch back, I guess.
Is it very quiet?
It looks like it's clearing up.
A little bit.
Seems very quiet.
There it goes.
There's Bobert.
It's a who's who in the political world.
Look at all those Democrats.
There's a Virchit, too.
Who's that Wendy Adams-looking lady down there
by Maisie Hirono?
I have no idea.
Wendy Adams.
That might not be Maisie Hirono.
Wednesday Adams. Okay. It might not be maybe. Wednesday. Sorry. Wednesday Adams.
Wednesday.
Wendy.
You know what?
I like Trump's hair today.
It's extra.
I'm digging it.
Isn't it always the same?
It's the same, but, you know, there's...
It varies.
Look at how, like, silvery it glows like a halo.
He's looking good.
Look at him.
He looks nice.
He's lost weight.
Remember, didn't he say he weighed 215?
He lied.
Oh, dude, of course he did.
He's 6'5", isn't he?
Or 6'3".
I think he's like 6'3".
Yeah.
He's 6'3", and I'm like, that dude is not 215.
Nobody believed it.
Is that Mace?
It looks like it.
Look at Schiff right there. There's our buddy Schiffy.
Come on, shake Schiff's hand.
You should give him like, remember the bean in the jack in the back of the head
growing up?
Give him a little bean.
I know what he's thinking because like.
He looks at the glorious swoop.
Nancy Mace is very single. I know what he's thinking because like... He looks at the glorious swoop. Nancy Mason is very single.
I've been at events where you're walking through
and there's like some guy you don't want to talk to
because you hate and you're just like,
I'm going to look the other way.
Keep facing to the right.
Act like I didn't see him.
None of the Democrats even want to look.
Schumer.
Schumer scooping him out.
Side-eyed.
Hey, there we go.
It was on auto.
It's still a crummy resolution, to be honest.
Look at Schumer.
Don't look up, Schumer.
Just don't move, otherwise Trump can't see motion.
I mean, Trump can only see motion.
He has no peripheral.
He's like a T-Rex.
Yeah, we're good, man.
All right. like a T-Rex. Yeah, we're good, man. Alright.
Okay, well, it's going to be a late night.
It's alright. So the White House had it scheduled for
9-10. The media
reported it 9 o'clock. And now
here we are. It's 9-16 and we are going
to be blessed by the words
of this humble leader.
Humble.
The most humble ever.
Everyone says so.
I'm going to say the most humble ever.
At least that's what I've been told.
Probably, maybe.
Probably, maybe.
There are people that have a problem with him talking to the
Supreme Court justices.
You can hear him complaining now.
Every time I see Brett Kavanaugh's face in my head,
I just hear, I like beer.
Who is that?
Retiree?
I can't tell which...
I'm not sure.
I think that's one of the retired ones.
I don't know.
The world didn't exist prior to 2016.
Everything came into existence the moment Trump was elected.
Here we go.
Last say.
Chance is going.
Last say.
All the Democrats are like...
You should get him to start chanting.
Yeah, yeah.
Fight, fight.
All right.
Let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to watch the president give his speech.
Smash the like button, share the show, get everybody in the country to listen to Trump.
Oh, he's got his phone number available.
Text President Trump.
Donate today.
What if he's like answering texts as he's doing the speech?
One second.
He's like, John said, what's up?
Yo, what's up, John?
Didn't Vance a great VP?
That's crazy.
Most of the VPs throughout my life have just been nothing.
I have to say he has exceeded my expectations.
Absolutely.
He talks so well.
And with aggression.
I mean assertiveness, which I love.
Did you see the meme of emo J.D. Vance?
Yes.
I chime in with a haven't you people ever heard of me?
Goddamn war.
And they think that's a diss on him, but we love it.
It's so great.
I said that to my kids and they had the nerve to tell me it wasn't funny.
I was like, you're grounded.
Your kids are wrong.
And also that song's a great song.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's roll. That clapping right in the microphone. Yeah. All right. Let's roll.
Yeah, that clapping right in the microphone.
How about that?
Right?
They're clapping right in the microphone.
Oh, I think it's Mike Johnson.
Come on, Don.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was Mike Johnson clapping right into his microphone.
Speaker Johnson,
Vice President Vance,
the First Lady of the United States.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Okay.
You might be the hottest person on the earth.
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
Easy.
What about Michelle?
Whoa.
Members of the United States Congress, thank you very much.
And to my fellow citizens, America is back. Yeah!
It's so dumb.
All the Democrats are just sitting there grim-faced.
No, it's not.
Monty's only 55.
Really?
Wow.
I'm not five years older than you.
She was born in 1970, April of 1970.
She's only 10 years older than me.
Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol
and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that
moment on, it has 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 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years.
And we are just getting started.
Let's go.
I love you, Senator.
Thank you. I return 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, 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.
It's never been anything like it.
I love him.
The presidential election of November 5th was a
mandate like has not been seen in many decades.
We won all seven swing states, giving us an
electoral college victory of 312 votes.
Mandatory kissing his own butt.
He's the greatest ever.
The best.
We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country.
Oh.
Already, huh?
Oh, look.
Do you see him look at him?
Side glare.
He's going to kick him out.
Look at that.
Look, what's his face?
Sit down, Kane.
What's his name?
Kane McGee?
No.
Oh.
I'm forgetting his name.
Come on.
I can't see the back of his head.
Sergeant of Arms should start taking Congress people out.
And one counties in our country, 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican.
He pointed to the Democrats.
Now, for the first time in modern history,
more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction
than the wrong direction.
In fact, it's an astonishing record.
27-point swing.
The most ever.
Al Green.
Al Green. Yeah, I forgot his name.
Oh, is that the guy that's going to do the
impeachment? Yeah. He's waving his cane
at Trump.
Likewise,
small business
optimism saw its single largest one-month gain ever recorded.
A 41-point jump.
These people, really?
There was no problems?
Come on now.
This is crazy.
Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions.
Wow.
That's your warning.
Call Sergeant Robinson right now.
Get him out.
Has this happened?
Members are engaging in a continuing breach of decorum,
and the chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant at Arms
to restore order to the joint session.
Get him out.
Get him out.
Get him out.
Nothing like this happened in any of his addresses before.
No.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
Never.
No.
Well, the Democrats have nothing.
Right.
Like, they have nothing.
No favorability.
All the stuff he's saying.
They're going to throw him out.
He wants to get out.
Yeah, he does.
He's going to look good on TV for their cultists.
Take your seat, sir.
Take your seat.
Get him out.
Sergeant of Arms, remove him.
Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum,
the chair now directs the Sergeant-at-Arms to restore order.
Remove this gentleman from the chamber.
Oh, hey!
Yeah.
Whoa!
This is crazy.
Let's go.
We're not only taking on the world, we're taking on the Dems.
Let's go.
Who else wants some?
Anybody else?
This is what you wanted, clown shoes.
Yeah.
I did see his shoes earlier.
They kind of look weird.
Take your Willy Wonka cane and do a little somersault on the way out.
Get him out.
Just take him. Get him out. We got a speech to give. This is nuts. I don't,
I've never seen anything like that happen. Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the house. Mr. President, you continue. Thank you. Wow. Over the past six weeks, I have
signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions, a 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.
Amen.
The President Thank you. In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency, it's our presidency,
is the most successful in the history of our nation.
By many.
He's trying to get Democrats angry.
Good.
They will never make me hate him.
Yeah, they've earned it, too.
And what makes it even more
impressive is that
do you know who number two is?
George Washington. How about that?
How about that?
I don't know about that list,
but we'll take it.
Within hours of taking the oath of office,
I declared a national emergency on our southern border,
and I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol
to repel the invasion of our country.
And what a job they've done.
As a result, illegal border crossings last month
were by far the lowest ever recorded, ever.
Yes.
Wow.
That's a big win.
It was only 800.
Amazing.
Yeah.
And we were always told it wasn't possible.
They lied.
From this angle, everyone's great.
They heard my words and they chose not to come.
Much easier that way.
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 into our country. Who would want to do that?
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.
Nothing I can do.
I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations.
This is actually good.
It's so good.
Or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history.
He's on spot.
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 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 way.
He's right.
Shame on them.
They're cultists.
Cults.
Must steals?
Like what?
What?
Clowns.
So Democrats sitting before me,
for just this one night,
why not join us in celebrating
so many incredible wins for America?
For the good of our nation,
let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
An old bench. That's nice.
That's not going to work.
He should bring up an issue that Democrats have to agree on
and then say, stand if you agree that this is a good thing,
and then when they don't...
Yeah.
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 federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid.
Let's go.
We're no longer the piggy bank.
I terminated the ridiculous green news scam.
I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate Accord,
which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries
were not paying. I withdrew from the corrupt World Health Organization.
Another huge win. Yes.
And I also withdrew from the anti-American UN Human Rights Council.
Nice. I like it.
We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions
that were making our country far less safe
and totally unaffordable.
And importantly, we ended the last administration's
insane electric vehicle mandate,
saving our autoworkers and companies from economic destruction.
Awesome.
It actually would be impossible to get to that point in five years.
To unshackle our economy,
I have directed that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated, just like I did in my very successful first term.
I would love to see that. Hopefully that actually does materialize.
Another thing Republicans have been promising for my whole lifetime. And in that first term, 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.
They will either show up for work in person or be removed from their job. The more regulations they get rid of,
the more likely it is that the economy recovers significantly.
And you have serious...
And we have ended weaponized government
where, as an example, a sitting president
is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent,
like me.
How did that work out?
Not too good.
Not too good.
Yeah.
It was a complete failure by him.
Wow, man.
It was wild.
I think I called it when I said he was going to come out balls swinging.
I got him back in the pickup truck.
And I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America.
It's back.
And two days ago, I signed an order making English the official language of the United States of America.
Wow. Huge.
I just want to say, I was bringing that point up a few times before Donald Trump actually did it.
I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
I mean, I said it four years ago.
I had to explain to someone this is the North American continent.
And likewise, I renamed for a great president, William McKinley, Mount McKinley again.
They were telling me, but Mexico has more coastline of it.
And I said, it's the North American continent.
It's the Gulf of the Americas. It's the Gulf of it. And I said, it's the North American continent. It's the Gulf of the Americas.
It's the Gulf of America.
In South America.
We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity,
equity, and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government
and indeed the private sector and our military.
Thank God.
And our country will be woke no longer.
There we go.
That was good. That was aggressive.
Are they crying yet?
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.
Amen.
You should be hired based on merit.
And the Supreme Court,
in a brave and very powerful decision,
has allowed us to do so.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
We have removed the poison of critical race theory
from our public schools,
and I signed an order making it the official policy
of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
Another great one.
Try explaining that line to someone ten years ago.
I know.
And you know, regular Danes love that, too.
All my people I know, they don't know 5,000 genders at all. I also signed an
executive order to ban
men from playing in
women's sports.
Oh, yes.
Which is another regular middle person.
Now, are the female Democrats going to stand
up for that? No.
They were protesting. They voted against them, too.
Yeah. They're stupid.
Three years ago, Peyton McNabb was an all-star high school athlete,
one of the best, preparing for a future in college sports.
But when her girls' 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 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.
Oh I didn't know she got hurt that bad. Yeah she was partially paralyzed.
Holy moly.
That video went mad viral where she got banged.
She screamed out. I want them to show the Democrats.
Oh, they stayed seated.
And if you really want to see numbers, just take a look at what happened in the women'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.
Broke the record by five hours.
It's demeaning for women.
And it's very bad for our country.
We're not going to put up with it any longer.
That can't be real.
What race was that?
We had a dude do the triple jump by eight feet. going to put up with it any longer. That can't be real. What race was that?
We had a dude do the triple jump by eight feet.
I think the triple jump was way more than that because it's three jumps.
The long jump I think was eight feet.
That's crazy.
What I have 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 and we will never go back
never ever gonna let that happen
among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and
immediate relief to working families.
As you know, we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe
and an inflation nightmare. Their policies drove up energy prices, pushed up grocery costs,
and drove the necessities of life out of reach for millions and
millions of Americans. They've never had anything like it. We suffered the worst
inflation in 48 years but perhaps even in the history of our country. They're
not sure. As president I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage and make
America affordable again.
The President Thank you, Mr. President. And I'm okay with that.
The President Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control.
The egg price is out of control.
And we're working hard to get it back down.
Secretary, do a good job on that.
You inherited a total mess from the previous administration.
Do a good job.
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 95 percent,
slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and close more than 100 power plants.
We are opening up many of those power plants right now.
I've seen a big decrease in gas.
I didn't know it was that bad.
That's insane.
It's like 50 cents.
And frankly, we have never seen anything like it.
That's why on my first day in office, I declared a national energy emergency.
I mean, well, what does that mean? 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 get it.
It's called Drill Baby Drill.
We need Pustle and Daniel Turner to take him up to Alaska.
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.
There's never been anything like that one.
It will be truly spectacular.
It's all set to go.
The permitting is gotten. And later
this week, I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical
minerals and rare earths here in the USA. helping with the whole finance problem, making their own batteries. That's similar to oil.
At least 500 plus years.
To further combat inflation,
we will not only be reducing the cost of energy,
but we'll be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.
Yes! And to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
Goj.
Perhaps you've heard of it.
It's so ridiculous.
I love it.
I do, too.
You know, Elon said he got it from someone on the internet.
Which is headed by Elon Musk
who is in the gallery tonight.
What's up, Zolotsky?
That's a much better idea
in a better salute.
Better salute.
Than his heart going out to us?
Yeah, don't send your heart out to him, Anthony.
Thank you, Anthony. You're on.
Thank you, Elon.
He's working very hard.
He didn't need this.
He didn't need this.
Thank you very much.
We appreciate it.
Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe.
They just don't want to admit that.
Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified.
$22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens.
$45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Scholarships in Burma. $40 million
to improve the social
and economic inclusion of sedentary
migrants.
Nobody knows what that is.
I was just about to ask what that meant.
$8 million to promote
LGBTQI+.
In the
African nation of Lesotho,
which nobody has ever heard of.
$60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.
$60 million.
$8 million for making mice transgender.
No.
This is real.
That's real. $32 million for a left-wing propaganda operation in Moldova. $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique. $20 million for
the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East. It's a program.
$20 million for a program.
$1.9 billion to recently created decarbonization of Holmes Committee.
Headed up, and we know she's involved, just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Oh!
We hit her.
A $3.5 million consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring.
$1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia.
$14 million for social cohesion in Mali.
$59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City.
Of course.
He's a real estate developer.
He's done very well.
$250,000 to increase vegan local climate action innovation in Zambia.
Vegan?
$42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda.
$14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia.
$47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.
Asia's doing very well with learning.
We know what we're doing. We use it ourselves.
And $101 million for DEI contracts at the Department of Education.
The most ever paid. Nothing even like it.
Under the Trump administration, all of these scams, and they're far worse, but I didn't think it was appropriate to talk about them. They're so bad.
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 fraud.
Nice.
Now, why on earth you would not applaud
for finding hundreds of billions of dollars
in taxpayer fraud?
Why would people re-elect you?
Just like he said. Why are you voting for these
Democrats who don't want your
fraudulent tax money back? And we've taken back
the money and reduced our debt
to fight inflation and other
things. Taking back a lot
of that money.
We got it just in time.
This is just the beginning.
Uh-oh.
The government accountability office, federal government office,
has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation.
Wow.
And we are working very hard to stop it.
We're going to.
We're also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the Social Security program for our seniors,
and that our seniors and people that we love rely on.
Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old.
It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119.
I would believe the 109, but I know some people are rather elderly, but not quite that elderly.
I mean, I'm getting the 100.
3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129.
Okay, well, that what I get.
3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
3.5 million people
from ages 140
to 149.
And money is being paid to many
of them. And we're
searching right now.
In fact, Pam, good luck.
You're going to find it.
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 150 to 159 and over 130,000 people, according to the social security databases, are age over 160 years old.
That's like from before it began.
We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby.
It's like the movie Dune.
You need spice to live longer.
So he's just telling the American people that we've been being robbed blind this whole time.
Democrats aren't clapping because they're like, oh, crap, we've been caught.
Their nephew of a nephew pretended to get Social Security from their parents.
To finish, 1,039 people between the ages of 220 and 229.
Wait, we're still going?
One person between the age of 240 and 249.
And one person is listed at 360 years of age.
Is he a vampire?
More than 100 years older than our country.
That's gold.
We're going to find out where that money's 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 put
more money in the pockets of American families.
If he follows through on this, it's over for Democrats.
He's got to follow through, but yes.
Even though, even if it's not a percent fall, it would be solid.
And today, interest rates took a beautiful drop, big, beautiful drop.
It's about time.
And in the near future, I want to do what has not been done in 24 years.
Balance the federal budget.
We're going to balance it.
Good luck.
I'm rooting for him.
He's a huge fan.
Democrats won't clap for balancing the budget.
No way. I'll for bouncing the budget.
No way.
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 $5 million, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship. 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, you wouldn't want to do that, but they have to pay tax, create jobs.
They'll also be taking people out of colleges
and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country
instead of having them 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. So while we
take out the 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, hardworking job creating people.
They're going 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 100 years, the federal bureaucracy has grown until it has crushed our freedoms, 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 10 days to get instead
take 10 years, 15 years, and even 20 years before
you're rejected.
Meanwhile, we have hundreds 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.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President. The President. The President. The President. The President. Yes. Yes. They get away with too much, so they're going to cost you nothing.
And any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office immediately.
Yes. How about if you remove them from office?
Because we are draining the swamp.
It's very simple.
And the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.
Who's laughing?
Yeah.
Good point.
Good point. And the next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is for this Congress
to pass tax cuts for everybody. They're in there. They're waiting for you to vote.
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, so I'm doing you a big favor by telling you that.
Yes, I'm so glad he said that.
But I know this group is going to be
voting for the tax cuts.
Oh, he's tolling the Democrats so hard.
That's amazing. So well-deserved. He's done playing nice. Oh, he's tolling the Democrats so hard. Amazing.
So well-deserved.
Yep.
He's done playing nice.
That's what we need.
Walsh.
Thank you.
Big lesson learned.
It's a very, very big part of our plan.
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.
Ooh, that would be great.
We 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.
All that.
There's no reason to tax Social Security benefits.
Zero. Jasmine Crockett to tax Social Security. Zero.
Jasmine Crockett walked out.
Good.
She's one of the worst Democrats out there.
I'm not one of them.
And I also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible,
but only if the car is made in America.
Oh. Well enough. I in america i like that i like it
right and by the way we're going to have growth in the auto industry like nobody's ever seen
plants are opening up all over the place deals 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.
It's going to boom.
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 has taken place since our great victory on November 5th,
a date which will hopefully go down as one of the most important in the part of our tax cuts, we want to cut taxes on domestic production and all manufacturing.
And just as we did before, we will provide 100 percent expensing.
It will be retroactive to January 20th, 2025. 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. First term. We had a
great first term. It was nice. I'm not going to lie. I was so good. I was on paying tax and
politics. 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. Have you heard of them? And countless other
nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It's very unfair. India
charges us auto tariffs higher than 100 percent. China's average tariff on our products is twice what we charge them.
And South Korea's average tariff is four times higher.
Think of that, four times higher.
And we give so much help militarily and in so many other ways to South Korea.
But that's what happens.
This is happening by friend and foe.
This system is not fair to the United States and never was.
And so on April 2nd
I wanted to make it
April 1st, but I didn't
want to be accused
of April Fool's Day.
That's true, too.
Just one day cost us a lot of
money.
But we're going to do it in April.
I'm a very superstitious person.
April 2nd, reciprocal tariffs kick in.
And whatever they tariff us, other countries, we will tariff them.
That's reciprocal, back and forth.
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.
There's a lot of that, too.
They don't even allow us in their market.
We will take in trillions and trillions of dollars and create jobs like we have never seen before.
I did it with China and I did it with others. trillions and trillions of dollars 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 it 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 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 allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before,
killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens
and many very young, beautiful people, destroying families.
Nobody has ever seen anything like it.
They are, in effect, receiving subsidies
of hundreds of billions of dollars.
We pay subsidies to Canada and to Mexico
of hundreds of billions of dollars,
and the United States will not be doing that any longer. We're not going to do it any longer.
Thanks to our America First policies we're putting into place, we have had $1.7 trillion
of new investment in America in just the past few weeks.
The combination of the election and our economic policies that people of SoftBank,
one of the most brilliant anywhere in the world, announced a $200 billion investment.
Open AI and Oracle, Larry Ellison, announced $500 billion investment, which they wouldn't have done if Kamala had won.
Apple announced $500 billion investment.
Tim Cook called me.
He said, I cannot spend it fast enough.
It's going to be much higher than that, I believe.
They'll 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, 97% of the market,
announced a $165 billion investment to build the most powerful chips on Earth
right here in the USA.
Good.
And there's some time it'll actually work.
No DEI is going to stop it.
What?
No DEI is going to stop it.
Yeah, hopefully.
I mean, it's necessary for national security.
And we're not giving them any money.
Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing.
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 their building and many other
companies are coming. We don't have to give them money. 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 left
over, Mr. Speaker. You should
use it to reduce debt
or any other reason you
want to.
Infrastructure, highways, bridges.
Our new trade policy will also be great for the American farmer.
I love the farmer.
Who will now be selling into our home market, the USA, because nobody is going to
be able to compete with you.
Because those 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 product
coming into America,
and our farmers, starting on April 2nd,
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.
Fifty billion dollars of purchases.
And we were doing great.
But Biden did not enforce it.
And it hurt our farmers.
But our farmers are going to have a field day right now.
So to our farmers, have a lot of fun.
I love you, too.
I love you, too.
Have a lot of fun.
It's all going to happen. And I have also imposed a 25% 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 a military and, frankly, we just won't have a country very long.
Here today is a proud American steelworker,
fantastic person from Decatur, Alabama.
Jeff Dennard has been working at the same steel
plant for 27 years in 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 40 foster
children. So great to have you.
Aw. Shout out, Jeff.
Let's go, Jeff.
Thank you, Jeff.
Thank you, Jeff. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you, Jeff.
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 OK with that.
It won't be much. No, you're not.
And look and look where Biden took us.
Very low, the lowest we've ever been.
Jeff, I want to thank you very much.
And I also want to recognize another person
who has devoted herself to foster care community.
She worked so hard on it.
A very loving person,
our magnificent First Lady of the United States.
Bravo.
Melania's work has yielded incredible results,
helping prepare our nation's future leaders as they enter the workforce.
Our First Lady is joined by two impressive young women, very impressive.
Haley Ferguson, who benefited from the First Lady's Fostering the Future initiative,
and is poised to complete her education and become a teacher. And Elliston Berry, who became a victim of an illicit deepfake image produced by a peer.
Oh.
With Elliston's help,
the Senate just passed the Take It Down Act.
And this is so important.
Thank you very much, John.
I don't know.
Thank you.
I don't know.
I gotta read that one.
I was gonna ask you, yeah.
I think it's like revenge you. I don't know. I don't read that one. I was going to ask. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, John.
I think it's like revenge porn and other things like that.
Okay.
Thank you all very much.
You can't post that stuff.
Well, the deep takes and the...
I think where the poster is required to tell the...
And thank you to John Thune and the Senate.
Yeah, to adult content.
Okay, okay.
Great job. To criminalize the publication of such images online is a terrible, terrible thing.
And once it passes the House, I look forward to signing that bill into law.
Thank you.
And I'm going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don't mind.
Because nobody gets to introduce that item online.
No, tell us for him.
That's great. Thank you very much to the Senate. Thank you.
Who's making that? If we truly care about protecting Americans' children, no step is more crucial than securing
America's borders. Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States.
Many of them were murderers, 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.
Good, good, good.
And I want to thank Tom Holman and Christy.
I want to thank you and Paul of Border Patrol.
I want to thank you. What a Border Patrol. I want to thank you.
What a job they've all done, everybody.
Border Patrol, ICE, law enforcement in general is incredible.
We have to take care of our law enforcement.
We have to. Last year, a brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named Lakin Riley, the best in her class, admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia.
That morning, Lakin was viciously attacked, assaulted, beaten, brutalized and horrifically murdered.
Lakin 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.
It was indeed a failed administration.
Yes.
He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat-run sanctuary city, a disaster,
before ending the life of this beautiful young angel.
With us this evening are Lakin's beloved mother Allison and her sister Lauren Last year, I told Lakin's grieving parents that we would ensure their daughter would not have died in vain. the very first bill I signed into law as your 47th president mandates,
the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
It's a very strong, powerful act.
Thank you. It's called the Lakin-Riley Act.
So Allison and Lauren, America will never, ever forget our beautiful Lakin-Hope Riley.
Thank you.
Hearing the story about the
how it went down is rough
yeah
must be brutal to stand there with everyone cheering and clapping
for you over your dead family member
daughter or sister
thank you very much
since taking
office my administration has launched
the most sweeping border
and immigration crackdown
in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of
illegal border crossers ever recorded. Thank you. I think the Republicans are following the Democrats.
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation.
We must have legislation to secure the border.
But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
That was a good one.
Yeah, it's
remarkable how
few border crossings there are now.
And again,
this goes back to what I was saying earlier.
Donald Trump has demonstrated that the president can do things.
Joe Biden didn't just open our borders.
He flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, and communities throughout the country.
Entire towns like Aurora, 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 there 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 12-year-old daughter, her precious Jocelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store. She was kidnapped, tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge and horrifically murdered. With this heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela released into America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
The death of this beautiful 12 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 have learned about Jocelyn
is that she loved animals so much she loved nature.
Across Galveston Bay from where Jocelyn lived in Houston,
you will find a magnificent national wildlife refuge,
a pristine, peaceful 34,000-acre sanctuary
for all of God's creatures
on the edge of the Gulf of America.
Alexis, moments ago, I formally renamed that refuge
in loving memory of your beautiful daughter,
Jocelyn. So, Mr. Vice President, if you would, may I have the order? Wow. Amazing.
This is like the liveliest stadium address or whatever you want to call it
I've ever seen.
Joint session.
Yeah.
I love Pumpkin.
Making sure everyone can get a clear picture.
Thank you very much.
All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Lakin's murders
were members of the Venezuelan prison gang,
the toughest gang, they say, in the world,
known as Tren de Aragua.
Two weeks ago, I officially designated this gang,
along with MS-13 and the bloodthirsty
Mexican drug cartels, as foreign terrorist organizations.
Wow.
The Democrats just don't care.
If I understand correctly, there are Reaper drones now over in Mexico.
Really?
Yeah.
The Reaper drones are theets, I guess.
They are now officially in the same category as ISIS,
and that's not good for them.
Wow.
Countless thousands of these terrorists
were welcomed into the U.S. 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 in jails, 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.
Great guy.
He's there with the Harkin and Huxley.
That's the Democrats and the Rebels.
Welcome to the Boto Magna.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
In January, Roberto and another agent were patrolling by the Rio Grande near an area known as Cartel Island.
Doesn't sound too nice to me.
When heavily armed gunmen 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 safety, and just barely.
I have some of the prints of that event,
and it was not good.
Agent Ortiz, 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.
Thank you, Roberto, very much.
Thank you, Roberto, very much.
Thank you, Roberto.
And I actually got to know him on my many calls to the border.
He's a great, great gentleman.
The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control.
They have total control over a whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security. The cartels are waging war on America,
and it's time for America to wage war on the cartels, which we are doing.
I've looked a lot of it in lately about this, about how it's going to be done,
who's in charge.
Curing our borders and keeping them out, I'm fine with.
Incursions in Mexico, no way. five nights ago mexican authorities because of our tariff policies being imposed on them
think of this handed over to us 29 of the biggest cartel leaders in their country
that has never happened before they want to make us happy first time ever we want to make us happy. First time ever. They want to make us happy.
But we need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done,
and they have to stop the fentanyl and drugs pouring into the USA.
They're going to stop it.
I have sent Congress a detailed funding request
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. Americans expect Congress to send me this funding without delay so I can
sign it into law. So, Mr. Speaker, John Thune, both of you, I hope you're going to be able to
do that, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Mr. Leader, thank you. Thank you very much. And let's get
it to me. I'll sign it so fast, you won't even believe it. Sign it so fast.
Johnson's been fairly lukewarm as a speaker.
And as we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law and order to our cities and towns.
He had the whole Pfizer thing.
What's the whole Pfizer thing?
Oh, yeah, he was going to come to training.
In recent years, our justices have 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 and decisively
to restore
fair, equal, and impartial
justice under the constitutional
rule of law, starting
at the FBI and the DOJ.
Pam, good luck.
Cash, wherever you may be, good luck.
Good luck.
Pam Bond.
Pam Bond.
Pam Bond.
And this CR, too, Phil.
The CR.
Going to do a great job.
He was going to do a big CR.
Cash.
Thank you.
He did a big one. Thank you, Cash. Yeah, I mean, look, Phil. The CR. He's going to do a great job. He was going to do a big CR. Cash. Thank you.
And then he did a big one.
Thank you, Cash.
Yeah, I mean, look, no one's perfect.
Well, no, it's not just that no one's perfect.
The conditions in the House are why these things happen.
Oh, there's Cash.
Okay.
Because they don't have the votes.
They have a razor-thin margin in the House.
They're going to do a fantastic job.
You're going to be very proud of them.
And just a couple of defections from the Republicans means that they can't be a pastor.
We're also once again giving our police officers the support, protection, and respect.
Because of the way that the House is now and the same thing in the Senate.
They have such a hard, dangerous job.
So we're going to 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. You have to compromise. The President. The Press. The President. The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President.
The President. The President. The President. The President. The President. One year ago this month, 31-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.
I went to his funeral.
The vicious criminal charged with his murder
had 21 prior arrests, and they were rough arrests.
He was a real bad one.
The thug in the seat next to him had 14 prior arrests
and went by the name of Killer.
He was Killer.
He killed other people, they say, a lot of them.
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 very much.
Thank you very much.
I know you're talking for a while.
Stephanie, we're going to make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero, New York's finest. And we're going to get these cold-blooded killers and repeat offenders off our streets,
and we're going to do it fast.
Got to stop it.
They get out with 28 arrests.
They push people into subway trains.
They hit people over the head, back of the head with baseball bats.
We got to get them out of here.
I've already signed an executive order requiring a mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders
a police officer.
And tonight I'm asking Congress to pass that policy into permanent law.
As just general federal law?
Or is he referring to illegal immigrants?
I thought that was about illegal immigrants
That was the focus of the last five minutes
I'm also asking
For a new crime bill
Getting tough on repeat offenders
While enhancing protections
For America's police officers
So they can do their jobs
Without fear of their lives
Being totally destroyed.
They don't want to be killed.
We're not going to let them be killed.
Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police.
His name is D.J. Daniel.
He is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
There we go, Daniel.
I like his dad's shirt.
He's definitely from Texas.
Let's go, DJ.
He's just like...
Texas shirt and everything.
Yeah. Texas shirt and everything Yeah He's so sweet
He's so sweet
Yeah
Lucky
We had to go to school
I saw your dad holding you up to the present
It's crazy
But in 2018 DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer I saw your dad holding you up to the present again. It's crazy.
But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Oh, geez.
The doctors gave him five months at most to live.
That was more than six years ago.
Oh, nice.
It is more than six years ago.
It's seven.
Yes. Rock on. It's seven. Yes.
Rock on.
Here we go.
I hope it's another 75 more years, brother.
Since that time, DJ and his dad
have been on a quest to make
his dream come true.
And D.J. has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times.
The police love him. The police departments love him.
And tonight, D.J., we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all, I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to officially
make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.
Nice.
He's got too many commissions already.
And your first task is to arrest them.
That dude, Sean, was also on stage with Trump when Trump was shot.
He's in the picture, the famous person.
He looks familiar.
Yeah. He's one of the dudes on stage with Trump when Trump was shot. He's in the picture, the famous person. Oh, yeah, he looks familiar. Yeah, he's one of the dudes on stage.
He'll do a better job than those 80 secret agents.
The most decorated person in American history
is a nine-year-old kid.
I'm sorry.
Does that kid know that taking that commission
means he's going to use his own body as a gesture to the president?
He has no idea.
Oh, my God.
Let's go. use his own body as an industry for the president? He has no idea. Come on.
Man, that's amazing stuff.
I love it.
Thank you, DJ.
That's awesome.
DJ's doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical
he was exposed to when he was younger.
Wow.
Since 1975, rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40 percent.
Reversing this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential commission to make America healthy again,
chaired by our new Secretary of Health and Human Services,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
I like the structure of the speech.
It was close to a Roman.
The finger was out.
The finger was out, but still.
It's fine. They'll say I was.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like when Steve did it, he raised his arm to his right side and they called it a run.
It's like, are you nuts?
With the name Kennedy, you would have thought everybody over here would have been.
How quickly they forget.
Wow.
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 10,000 children had autism.
One in 10,000.
Now it's one in 30,000.
And now it's one in 36.
Wait, what?
There's something wrong.
One in 36. Wait, what? There's something wrong. 1 in 36.
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 to figure out what is going on.
The chat's calling him Roman FK.
Bobby, good luck.
It's a very important job.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
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 13-year-old little girl.
Teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns.
They, them pronoun, actually. All without telling January, who is here tonight and
is now a courageous advocate against this form of child abuse. January, thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I thought we used to do that, too.
Put the hand up.
Is that Johnson clapping at his microphone again?
Probably.
Thank you.
Stories like this are why, shortly after taking office,
I signed an executive order banning public schools
from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.
Now Democrats are salty about that one.
We want to trans the kids.
I also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution
that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth.
Yes.
I love the damn
pet parties following us.
And now I want Congress to pass a bill
permanently banning and criminalizing
sex changes on children
and forever ending the lie
that any child is trapped
in the wrong body.
Amen.
This is a big lie.
Amen.
Bring Bill Gates on.
Who knows what's up?
There's no such thing as a trans child.
The message to every child in America
is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you.
What if they have, like, clubfoot or something?
You've got it.
You've got to convey that.
We can fix that.
Because 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.
We don't want it.
Wokeness is trouble.
Wokeness is bad.
It's gone. It's gone. And we feel so much better for it, don't want it. Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness is bad. It's gone.
It's gone.
And we feel so much better for it, don't we?
Don't we feel better?
The President of the United States of America
We sure do, President Trump.
The President of the United States of America
Our service members won't be activists and ideologues.
They will be fighters and warriors.
They will fight for our country.
And, Pete, congratulations.
Secretary of Defense, congratulations.
Thanks.
Most cases, they're treated with non-surgical puns.
They cast it.
Or, like, they do massage and stuff.
But you don't need it.
And he's not big into the woke movement, I can tell you.
I know him well.
I am pleased to report that in January, And he's not big into the woke movement, I can tell you. I know him well.
I am pleased to report that in January, the U.S. Army had its single best recruiting month in 15 years.
And that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever in the history of our services.
What a difference.
Wow.
When you let the Army be the Army, people want to join the army. When you let men be men, right? 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. Now we're having the 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.
It's very simple.
They love our country, and they love being in our military again.
So it's a great thing, and thank you very much.
Great job.
Thank you.
Yeah, I love that.
Democrat's still sitting.
They're not happy.
Democrats aren't cheering for our military?
Nope.
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 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 4.46, that's good, GPA.
And his greatest dream is to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
All right, he looks like he's ready to go.
Yeah, he looks like he was born and bred for that.
He's already packed his head in Bradford. He's always been talking about the rocks.
And Jason, that's a very big deal getting in.
That's a hard one to get into.
But I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted.
You will soon be joining the Corps of Cadets.
What a way to get it.
The president just said, hey, you're in, bro.
He's got a lot to look up to now.
This guy goes to him. Thank you.
Jason, you're going to be on the long gray line, Jason.
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.
Golden Dome. Golden Dome.
Of course it's Golden Dome.
Do we need it, though?
The point is to defend against nuclear weapons.
Is he Russians?
And Ronald Reagan wanted to do it long ago,
but the technology just wasn't there, not even close.
But now we have the technology.
It's incredible, actually.
And other places, they have it.
Israel has it.
Other places have it.
And the United States should have it, too. Right, Tim? It's not a bad idea. They should have it. Israel has it. Other places have it. And the United States should have it
too, right, Tim?
They should have it too, so I want
to thank you, but it's a very, very important
this is a very dangerous world.
We should have it. We want to be protected
and we're going to protect our citizens
like never before.
To boost our defense industrial
base, we are also going to
resurrect the American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding.
Industry.
And for that purpose, I am 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 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.
Can it be reclaimed?
Allegedly, BlackRock has bought a couple of the ports.
Yep.
Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the 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.
38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal.
They died of malaria.
They died of snake bites and mosquitoes.
I'm sure there were lots of feminists down there building the Panama Canal dying for that.
They paid them very highly to go there knowing there was a 25% chance that they would die.
The most expensive project also that was ever built in our country's history,
if you bring it up to modern-day costs.
It was given away by the Carter administration for $1,
but that agreement has been violated very severely.
We didn't give it to China.
We gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back.
Thank you. We're taking it back.
Trying to keep in touch.
And we have Marco Rubio in charge.
Good luck, Marco.
Hello.
Now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.
Marco's been amazing and he's going to do a great job.
I like him low-key.
Think of it.
He got 100 votes.
Awesome.
You know, he was approved with actually 99,
but the 100th was this gentleman,
and I feel very certain.
So let's assume he got 100 votes,
and I'm either very, very happy about that or I'm very concerned about it.
But he's already proven.
I mean, he's a great gentleman.
He's respected by everybody.
And we appreciate you voting for Marco.
He's going to do a fantastic job.
Thank you.
Are they going to clap now?
Thank you.
Oh, look at that.
He's doing a great job.
I'm not showing it.
Come on.
Come on, Democrats.
You voted for him.
I know the Democrats.
Great job.
No. Not showing it. I know.
Okay. Why'd they do that?
And I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland.
Uh-oh.
We strongly support your right to determine your own future.
And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America.
If you choose.
We need Greenland for national security and even
international security, and we're
working with everybody involved to try
and get it. But we need it really for
international world security,
and I think we're going to
get it. One way or the other, we're
going to get it. One way or the other.
Listen, something's going on in Greenland, okay?
He knows what it is. We will make you
rich and together. We will take Greenland, okay? He knows what it is. We will make you rich and together.
We will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before.
I mean, who knows?
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 half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless others in the Abbey Gate bombing during the disastrous
and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Not that they were withdrawing. It was the way they withdrew.
Perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the
history of our country. Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the
top terrorist responsible for that atrocity. And he is right now on his way here to face the swift
sword of American justice. Wow. Okay. A lot of new updates.
Yeah. That's a clap.
Democrats are clapping.
I can see it.
No.
They're clapping.
There we go.
Not standing up, though.
Are we...
We are not having a conversation.
Allegedly, Donald Trump is so charismatic that you can only resist his charisma for a short period of time.
And that's why he speaks for such a long time.
And I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
This was a very momentous day for those 13 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 42 people, so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan.
What a horrible day. Such incompetence was shown that when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, wow, maybe this is my chance.
That's how bad it was. Should have never happened. Grossly incompetent people. I spoke to many of the
parents and loved ones, and they're all in our hearts tonight. Just spoke to them on the phone.
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, 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. And now we're going to build on that foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future
for the entire region. A lot of things are happening in the Middle East. People have
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.
It's a rough neighborhood, actually.
I'm also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
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, with no anything.
Democrats finally clapping. It feels like it because it's quiet. It's like 400.
I won't stop.
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
Yeah, you would say Pocahontas says yes. Hey!
Shots fired.
Awesome.
Look at his face.
2,000 people are being killed every single week.
More than that.
They're Russian young people.
They're Ukrainian young people.
They're not Americans.
But I want it to stop.
Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money
buying Russian oil and gas
than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far.
Think of that.
They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending.
That's ridiculous.
And we've spent perhaps $350 billion, like taking candy from a baby.
That's what happened.
And they've spent a hundred billion dollars.
What a difference that is. And we have an ocean 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 billions and billions of dollars.
It's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it
and said at 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 of Ukraine.
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 peace that lasts. We do really value 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.
I appreciate that he sent this letter.
Just got it a little while ago.
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia
and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace.
Wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that be beautiful?
Good.
Trump is being awfully magnanimous about this, too, now.
So far, he might do a jab in there. You never can tell.
I'm waiting for it.
Right? Wouldn't that be beautiful?
It's time to stop this madness.
It's time to halt the killing.
It's time to end this senseless war.
If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
Nearly four years ago, amid rising tensions,
a history teacher named Mark Fogel was detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal
colony. Rough stuff. The previous administration barely lifted a finger to help him. They knew he
was innocent, but they had no idea where to begin.
But last summer, I promised his 95-year-old mother, Malfine, that we would bring her boy safely back home. After 22 days in office, I did just that, and they are here tonight. Nice.
The only time the Democrats clapped was to cheer for a foreign country and not the United States.
Not any of its successes, victories, not the apprehension of terrorists,
not the cutting of wasteful spending,
only to cheer for Ukraine.
Ukraine, they're just anti-American.
They're insane.
They're just anti-American.
I don't understand how they...
Mike Johnson's got to stop clapping into his microphone.
It's freaking annoying.
To Mark and his great mom,
we are delighted to have you safe and sound and with us.
As fate would have it, Mark Fogle was born in a small rural town in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Have you heard of it?
Where his mother has lived for the past 78 years.
I just happened to go there last July 13th for a rally.
The President Oh, really?
The President 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, did I? Never forgot.
Less than 10 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 Comperatore was a firefighter, a veteran,
a Christian, a husband, a devoted father,
and above all, a protector.
When the sound of gunshots pierced the air 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. Yeah, that's a hero. Corey was hit
really hard. You know the story 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. We're joined by Corey's wife, Helen,
who was his high school sweetheart,
and their two beloved daughters, Allison and Kaylee.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, somebody with that. Thank you. I was just thinking she's going to look at you and see this and be like, oh my god, how can I do this? Her collar's tucked around.
I don't mind celebrating the rest of people.
It makes no sense to me.
Poor Deer's been through it.
Yeah, she doesn't want to be a star star.
Nobody likes this. They hate it Senator Scott, nobody likes this.
They hate it.
Oh, it's awful.
Freaking politics is stupid.
To Helen, Alison, and Kayleigh,
Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now,
and he is cheering you on.
He loves you.
He is cheering you on.
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 was saved that day in Butler
for a very good reason.
I was saved by God to make America great again.
I believe that.
They made it happen, guys.
They should have never tried to kill him.
They should have never done that.
But if the outcome is what it is.
Oh, it's great for us.
It's going to be bad for all the people who oppose what Trump's doing, because he's serious now.
Thank you very much.
From the patriots of Lexington and Concord, to the heroes of Gettysburg and Normandy,
from the warriors who crossed the Delaware
to the trailblazers 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 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 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 be free, and we will fight for it till death. 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 across a boundless continent.
They built the railroads, laid the highways, and graced the world with American marvels
like the Empire State Building, the mighty Hoover Dam, and the towering Golden Gate Bridge.
They lit the world with electricity, broke free of the force of gravity, fired up the engines of American industry,
vanquished the communists, fascists, and Marxists all over the world,
and gave us countless modern wonders sculptured 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 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 America's destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling days in the history of our country.
This will be our greatest era.
With God's help, over the next four years, we are going to lead this 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. 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 the planet Mars and even
far beyond.
The President and the American spirit.
And we are going to renew unstoppable power of the American spirit.
And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream.
Every single day we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens believe in and for the country our people deserve.
Thank you.
Fight, fight, fight, he said. Great chat.
Don't forget to like, like, like this stream.
One like equals one fight, fight, fight.
Don't forget. 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.
Hey, buddy. My camera died.
My camera died. My camera died.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
How does that work?
I don't know.
The table fell out or something.
I can still talk.
I'll fall out.
What happened?
Where are you going?
Turned off.
I'm back.
Temperature?
Is it cooled off?
Oh, that's crazy.
Well, I would say that that was very based.
It was a good...
Yeah, it was really good.
I'm so glad to be here with you gentlemen
during this historic moment.
I feel very honored for that.
Well, we were talking about it because the worst thing in the world is when we have like specialist guests who come on a day where we're mostly just providing commentary and hanging out.
So we were like, we need someone specifically who is commentary on social issues to hang out with us for the show.
So there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
That was the most incredible State of the Union I've ever seen.
Yeah.
I mean, it was also the craziest, what with Al Green.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so a lot of people have made a point.
There's a point being made by a lot of people that during Obama, some Republican yelled,
you lied, and the media went nuts.
And now you have constant heckling the whole time.
The only time Democrats clapped was for a foreign country.
Were you crazy?
Heckling and people walking out, like, the whole night.
Like, if you look at the Democrats, the House side,
like, there were significantly fewer people at the end
than were there in the beginning.
And they said that they were going to do it.
The intent was to show that they were, you know,
to be disrespectful.
Right.
No, Ed Carton's, though.
No, thank you.
Or like hand clappers and stuff and all that, but yeah.
They did have those signs, and those signs are memes.
There are plenty of memes out there now.
They're great.
There's ones where they made them all green.
Yeah.
All right, everybody, that was it.
That was the not State of the Union, State of the Union.
So thank you all so much for hanging out with us as we watch live.
Of course, we'll be back tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
So no one's entered tonight because it's late.
And I got to go to bed.
I have a family now.
Yes, you do.
I got to go home.
Congratulations, by the way.
I'm going to keep saying it a million times because it's like the best thing in the world.
And smash the like button.
Share the show if you really do enjoy it.
Word of mouth is the best way.
Everybody always wonders, like, how do podcasts get big?
It's because people who watch them tell their friends to watch them
or watch them or listen with their friends and share it.
So that would be greatly appreciated.
