President Trump's State of the Union Address

[1:14] court president's cabinet members of congress to have the high privilege and distinct honor of [17:53] presenting to you the president of the united states well thank you very much everybody it's [18:25] really an honor speaker johnson vice president vance first lady of the united states second [18:59] lady of the united states members of congress and my fellow americans our nation is back bigger [19:23] better richer and stronger than ever before less than five months from now our country will celebrate [19:43] an epic milestone in american history the 250th anniversary of our glorious american independence [19:53] this july 4th we will mark two and a half centuries of liberty and triumph progress and freedom in the [19:59] most incredible and exceptional nation ever to exist on the face of the earth and you've seen nothing [20:06] yet we're going to do better and better and better this is the golden age of america when i last spoke [20:27] in this chamber 12 months ago i had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy inflation [20:35] at record levels a wide open border horrendous recruitment for military and police rampant crime [20:44] at home and wars and chaos all over the world but tonight after just one year i can say with [20:52] dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before [20:58] and a turnaround for the ages it is indeed a turnaround for the ages and we will never go back to where we [21:31] were just a very short time ago we're not going back today our border is secure thank you today our border [21:50] is secure our spirit is restored inflation is plummeting incomes are rising fast the roaring [22:00] economy economy is roaring like never before and our enemies are scared our military and police are [22:07] stacked and america is respected again perhaps like never before after four years in which millions and [22:30] millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders totally unvetted and unchecked we now have the [22:36] strongest and most secure border in american history by far in the past nine months zero illegal aliens have [22:57] been admitted to the united states but we will always allow people to come in legally people that will [23:17] love our country and will work hard to maintain our country the flow of deadly fentanyl across our border [23:35] is down by a record 56 in one year and last year the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded [23:56] history this is the biggest decline think of it in recorded history the lowest number in over 125 years [24:05] year 1900 in fact substantially before my wonderful father i had a wonderful father fred before he was [24:14] born substantially before he was born that's a long time ago he wouldn't like me to say that but that's a [24:21] long time ago the biden administration and its allies in congress gave us the worst inflation in the [24:29] history of our country but in 12 months my administration has driven core inflation down to the lowest level [24:36] in more than five years and in the last three months of 2025 it was down to 1.7 percent gasoline which [25:00] reached a peak of over six dollars a gallon in some states under my predecessor it was quite honestly a [25:07] disaster is now below two dollars and 30 cents a gallon in most states and in some places one dollar [25:13] and 99 cents a gallon and when i visited the great state of iowa just a few weeks ago i even saw one dollar [25:21] and 85 cents a gallon for gasoline mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast [25:39] and the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost five thousand dollars just since i took [25:46] office one year and low interest rates will solve the biden created housing problem well at the same [25:58] time protecting the values of those people who already own a house that really feel rich for the [26:03] first time in their lives we want to protect those values we want to keep those values up we're going to [26:08] do both and we are going to keep it that way the stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since [26:21] the election think of that one year boosting pensions 401ks and retirement accounts for the millions and [26:29] millions of americans they're all gaining everybody's up way up in four long years the last administration [26:36] got less than one trillion dollars in new investment in the united states and when i say less [26:42] substantially less in 12 months i secured commitments for more than 18 trillion dollars pouring in from [26:49] all over the globe think of it much less than one trillion dollars for four years versus much more than [27:06] 18 trillion dollars for one year what a difference a president makes a short time ago we were a dead country [27:17] now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world the hottest as thousands of new businesses [27:38] are forming in factories plants and laboratories are being built we have added 70 000 new construction [27:45] jobs in just a very short period of time it's getting bigger and bigger and stronger nobody can [27:50] believe what they're watching american oil production is up by more than 600 000 barrels a day and we just [27:58] received from our new friend and partner venezuela more than 80 million barrels of oil american natural [28:17] gas production is at an all-time high because i kept my promise to drill baby drill more americans are [28:37] working today than at any time in the history of our country think about that any time in the history [28:44] of our country more working today and 100 percent of all jobs created under my administration have been [28:52] in the private sector we ended dei in america we cut a record number of job killing regulations and in [29:24] one year we have lifted 2.4 million americans a record off of food stamps and for all of these reasons [29:42] i say tonight members of congress the state of our union is strong our country is winning again in [30:10] fact we're winning so much that we really don't know what to do about it people are asking me please [30:18] please please mr president we're winning too much we can't take it anymore we're not used to winning in our [30:24] country until you came along we're just always losing but now we're winning too much and i say no no no [30:32] you're going to win again you're going to win big you're going to win bigger than ever and to prove [30:38] that point to prove that point here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation [30:45] proud the men's gold medal olympic hockey team come on in that's the first time i've ever seen them get up [32:35] and actually not all of them did get up but they beat a fantastic canadian team and over time as [32:42] everybody saw as did the american women who will soon be coming to the white house they were in the [33:21] oval office before and i just want to say a second very big congratulations to team usa but i have to [33:29] say that and i told them this so we took a vote of the team i said anybody votes no i'm not doing it so [33:36] they stood there and they weren't about to say no because i've never seen a goaltender play as [33:41] well as goalie connor halibut think of it 46 shots on gold and i asked him the one shot the one where [34:20] you put your stick in the back and it hit the neck of your stick and bounced off do you practice that [34:26] or was that little lucky he refused to answer that question but i just want to tell you that the members [34:35] of this great hockey squad will be very happy to hear based on their vote and my vote and in this [34:41] case my vote was more important that i will soon be presenting connor with our highest civilian honor [34:48] which we will be given and which has been given to many athletes over the years but when i say many not [34:56] too many like 12 it's called the highest civilian honor in our country the presidential medal of freedom [35:07] great athletes have gotten that very great the best and i thought he deserved it and i did take [35:37] a vote every single one of them i said i'm not giving it if anybody goes no and every single one [35:42] of them rapidly put up their hand so i want to thank you what a special job you did what special [35:48] champions you are thank you very much i'm also pleased to say that the next time the olympic torch is lit [36:15] it will be here in america for the 20 28 olympics and it's the summer version right in los angeles we're [36:24] going to do a good job in los angeles and los angeles is going to be safe just like washington dc is now [36:46] one of the safest cities in the country and this year and i must say i got them both i got them in my first [37:00] term and i was disappointed because i didn't think i'd be the president when this happened but strange [37:07] things took place and now i've got them because i got the olympics and i got the 2026 fifa world cup [37:16] and i wanted to claim the 250th but i didn't get away with that one i couldn't claim that one for [37:21] myself but we're getting the world cup so we have the world cup and the olympics coming and that is [37:27] exciting news so this will be a year to celebrate our country and the heroes who have kept it free men [37:45] like buddy taggart at age 17 buddy volunteered to defend america in world war ii serving in the [37:54] pacific under the great general douglas magarthur he fought bravely in the famous battle of manila [38:01] worked so hard he was badly wounded and almost killed by enemy machine guns in luzon and 81 years ago this [38:11] month he liberated the largest internment camp in the philippines one of the largest anywhere in the [38:17] world but he earned many honors including a purple heart and a bronze star came home started a family [38:24] and tonight he is in the gallery looking forward to july 4th 2026 his 100th birthday so buddy you're a [39:07] brave man and we salute you even in times of challenge setback and immense heartache the spirit [39:15] of 1776 has always shown through very brightly it was july 4th of last year when floodwaters tore [39:24] through a girl's summer camp in central texas one of the worst things i've ever seen i was there [39:30] rising 26 feet in the matter of minutes tragically claiming many many lives you all remember that one [39:38] as the waters threatened to sweep her away 11 year old millie kate mcclaymond closed her eyes and prayed [39:46] to god she thought she was going to die those prayers were answered when coast guard rescue swimmer scott [39:53] ruskin descended from a helicopter above nobody knew where he came from it was scott's first ever rescue [40:02] mission young guy but very brave very very top always top in his class and he [40:08] lifted not just billy kate but 164 others to safety people watched scott from a distance [40:49] and they couldn't believe what they were seeing the winds were blowing the rain was pouring everything [40:54] was going in that rapid water nobody's ever seen anything like it they said wow that's something [41:00] tonight scott and millie kate are here together reunited for the very first time thank you scott [41:08] and petty officer ruskin i'm pleased to inform you that i am now awarding you the legion of merit [41:41] for extraordinary heroism which is what it was extraordinary heroism thank you and i'd like to have the [42:00] military aid to please come down and take care of the service military aid thank you very much [42:09] take care of that very important service thank you very much from 1776 to today every generation of [42:20] americans has stepped forward to defend life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and they're really [42:28] doing it for the next generation but now it's our turn together we're building a nation where every child [42:34] has the chance to reach higher and go further where government answers to the people not the powerful [42:41] and where the interests of hard-working american citizens are always our first and ultimate concern [42:48] that is the debt we owe to the heroes who came before us and that is the promise we must keep [42:55] to america for our 250th year last year i urged this congress to begin the mission by passing the [43:04] largest tax cuts in american history and our republican majorities delivered so beautifully thank you [43:11] republicans all democrats every single one of them voted against these really important and very [43:33] necessary massive tax cuts they wanted large-scale tax increases to hurt the people instead but we held [43:52] strong and with the great big beautiful bill we gave you no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on [44:01] social security for our great street and we also made interest on auto loans tax deductible the first time [44:23] but only if the car is made in america recently in pennsylvania i met megan hemhauser a devoted mom whose [44:44] home schools her children beautiful two children during the day while waiting tables at night as her [44:51] husband works overtime operating very heavy equipment megan is here this evening and she's happy to [45:00] tell you that she is so so much richer because with no tax on tips no tax on overtime and her expanded [45:09] child tax credit done again by republicans megan and her husband will take home more than five [45:16] thousand dollars extra just for the year cutting her tax bill in more than half megan please stand up [45:30] we're fighting for you megan thank you megan we're fighting for you megan under our bill parents like [45:45] megan can also activate their children's brand new trump accounts and i didn't name it i did not name that [46:00] nobody believes me but i did not name it it was named by a very tall man standing right there in [46:05] the third row nice man a good man tax-free investment accounts for every american child this is something [46:14] that's so special has taken off and gone through the roof millions will be pre-funded courtesy of the [46:20] u.s treasury and private individuals like michael and susan dell who have donated six billion 250 [46:29] million dollars to fund the trump accounts for 25 million american children they're great people [46:38] when i asked michael dell how do you make all that money he said well i just sat on my dorm in [46:57] school and i made computers and i'd sell them to people and i just kept selling and selling and [47:03] selling and pretty amazing story that's called the american dream he sold a lot of computers a lot of those [47:09] laptops so i congratulate him on that but i really thank him and susan [47:13] and as well as others like brad gerstner a very tremendous guy he was behind it right from the [47:19] beginning brad gerstner thank you brad with modest additional contributions these young people's [47:39] accounts could grow to over 100 000 or more by the time they turn 18. think of it how much money is [47:46] that for somebody that started with nothing over a hundred thousand could be much more than that [47:52] to make this investment in our children's future go to trumpaccounts.gov trumpaccounts.gov and a lot [47:59] of people are doing it that's setting every record in the book it's popular they knew what was going [48:05] to what it was going to take so proud of them i'm so proud of the people that got it started [48:10] now it's just taken off one of the primary reasons for our country's stunning economic turnaround the [48:16] biggest in history where the dow jones broke 50 000 four years ahead of schedule and the s p hit 7 000 [48:25] where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years were tariffs i use these tariffs took in hundreds of [48:34] billions of dollars to make great deals for our country both economically and on a national security [48:40] basis everything was working well countries that were ripping us off for decades are now paying us [48:46] hundreds of billions of dollars they were ripping us so badly you all know that everybody knows it [48:53] even the democrats know it they just don't want to say it and yet these countries are now happy and so [49:00] are we we made deals the deals are all done and they're happy they're not making money like they used [49:06] to but we're making a lot of money there was no inflation tremendous growth and the big story was how [49:12] donald trump called the economy correctly and 22 nobel prize winners in economics didn't they got [49:20] it totally wrong they got it really wrong and then just four days ago an unfortunate ruling from the [49:26] united states supreme port it just came down it came down very unfortunate ruling but the good news is [49:36] that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made right scott [49:44] knowing that the legal power that i as president have to make a new deal could be far worse for them [49:52] and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the [49:59] supreme court's unfortunate involvement so despite the disappointing ruling these powerful country saving [50:08] it's saving our country the kind of money we're taking in peace protecting many of the wars i [50:16] settled was because of the threat of tariffs i wouldn't have been able to settle them without [50:20] will remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes and they have been tested [50:27] for a long time they're a little more complex but they're actually probably better leading to a solution [50:35] that will be even stronger than before congressional action will not be necessary it's already time [50:41] tested and approved and as time goes by i believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will like [50:49] in the past substantially replace the modern day system of income tax taking a great financial burden off the [50:57] people that i love moving forward factories jobs investment and trillions and trillions of dollars [51:17] will continue pouring into the united states of america because we finally have a president who puts america [51:24] first i put america first i love america for decades before i came along we had the exact opposite from trade [51:45] to health care from energy to immigration everything was stolen and rigged in order to drain the wealth out of the [51:51] productive hard-working people who make our country great who make our country run under biden and his corrupt [51:59] partners in congress and beyond it reached a breaking point with the green news scam open borders for [52:06] everyone they poured in by the millions and millions from prisons from mental institutions they were [52:13] murderers 11 888 murders they came into our country you allowed that to happen and record-setting inflation [52:21] that cost the typical family thirty four thousand dollars in just a speck of time now the same people in [52:30] this chamber who voted for those disasters suddenly used the word affordability a word they just [52:37] used it somebody gave it to them knowing full well that they caused and created the increased prices that [52:47] all of our citizens had to endure you caused that problem you caused that problem they knew their [53:09] statements were a lie they knew it they knew their statements were a dirty rotten lie their policies [53:16] created the high prices our policies are rapidly ending them we are doing really well those prices are [53:25] plummeting downward the price of eggs is down 60 percent madam secretary thank you the cost of chicken [53:42] butter fruit hotels automobiles rent is lower today than when i took office by a lot and even beef which was [53:51] very high is starting to come down significantly just hold on a little while we're getting it down [53:57] and soon you will see numbers that few people would think were possible to achieve just a short time ago [54:06] nobody can believe when they see the kind of numbers and especially energy when they see energy going [54:10] down to numbers like that they cannot believe it it's like another big tax cut i'm also confronting one [54:19] of the biggest ripoffs of our times the crushing costs of health care caused by you since the passage of [54:28] the unaffordable care act sometimes referred to as obamacare big insurance company has gotten rich it was [54:35] meant for the insurance companies not for the people with our government giving them hundreds and [54:40] hundreds of billions of billions of dollars a year as their stock prices soared one thousand twelve [54:46] hundred fourteen hundred and even seventeen hundred percent like nothing else that's why i introduced the [54:55] great healthcare plan i want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give that money [55:02] directly to the people so they can buy their own health care which will be better health care at a much [55:08] lower cost in addition my plan requires maximum price transparency that's a big deal sounds so simple [55:32] so big and i did that in my first time and the democrats immediately terminated it with full knowledge [55:41] that they were doing a very bad thing for the people costs are going to go way up and that's what [55:45] happened and now i'm bringing them way down on health care and everything else i'm also ending the wildly [55:51] inflated cost of prescription drugs like has never happened before other presidents tried to do it [56:08] but they never could they tried most didn't try actually but they tried they said they tried they [56:15] couldn't do it they didn't even come close they were all talk and no action but i got it done [56:22] under my just enacted most favored nation agreements americans who have for decades paid by far the highest [56:30] prices of any nation anywhere in the world for prescription drugs will now pay the lowest price [56:37] anywhere in the world for drugs anywhere the lowest price so in my first year of the second term [56:54] should be my third term but strange things happen i took prescription drugs a very big part of health [57:05] care from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest that's a big achievement the result is [57:13] price differences of 300 400 500 600 percent and more all available right now at a new website called [57:22] trump rx.gov and i didn't name that one either by the way and here tonight is the very first customer [57:36] ever to get that big discount and it is big katherine rayner for five years she and her husband have [57:43] struggled with infertility and they turned to ivf one drug has been costing katherine [57:51] four thousand dollars to purchase but a few weeks ago she logged on to the trump rx website and got [57:59] that same drug that cost four thousand dollars got it for under five hundred dollars a reduction of much [58:05] more actually than three thousand five hundred dollars katherine we are all praying for you and you're [58:11] going to be a great mom so now i'm calling on congress to codify my most favored nation program into law [58:39] now the one thing i'm not sure it matters because it's going to be very hard for somebody that comes [58:44] along after me to say let's raise drug prices by 700 or 800 percent but john and mike if you don't mind [58:53] codify it anyway they may do it codify it anyway thank you many americans are also concerned that [59:01] energy demand from ai data centers could unfairly drive up their electric utility bills tonight i'm [59:08] pleased to announce that i have negotiated the new rate payer protection pledge you know what that is [59:15] we're telling the major tech companies that they have the obligation to provide for their own power [59:20] needs they can build their own power plants as part of their factory so that no one's prices will go up [59:27] and in many cases prices of electricity will go down for the community and very substantially down [59:33] this is a unique strategy never used in this country before we have an old grid it could never handle the [59:39] kind of numbers the amount of electricity that's needed so i'm telling them they can build their own [59:45] plant they're going to produce their own electricity it will ensure the company's ability to get [59:50] electricity while at the same time lowering prices of electricity for you and could be very substantial [59:56] for all of your cities and towns you're going to see some good things happen over the next number of [1:00:01] years another pillar of the american dream that has been under attack is home ownership with us tonight is [1:00:09] rayso wiggins a mom of two from houston she placed bids on 20 homes and lost all of those bids to [1:00:16] gigantic investment firms that bypassed inspection paid all cash and turned those houses into rentals [1:00:23] stealing away her american dream she was devastated stories like this are why last month i signed [1:00:31] executive order to ban large wall street investment firms from buying up into thousands single family homes [1:00:39] and now i'm asking congress to make that ban permanent because homes for people really that's what we [1:00:58] want we want homes for people not for corporations corporations are doing just fine raysell thank you [1:01:04] very much good luck with your home you'll get one sir we're also working to make it easier for americans [1:01:18] to save for retirement and under this administration we will always protect social security and medicare they [1:01:25] are not protecting it for our seniors we will always protect social security medicare medicaid [1:01:39] since i took office the typical 401k balance is up by at least 30 000 that's a lot of money we have [1:01:49] millions and millions of people because the stock market has done so well setting all those records [1:01:55] your 401ks are way up yet half of all of working americans still do not have access to a retirement plan [1:02:02] with matching contributions from an employer to remedy this gross disparity i'm announcing that [1:02:09] next year my administration will give these often forgotten american workers great people the people [1:02:14] that built our country access to the same type of retirement plan offered to every federal worker [1:02:20] we will match your contribution with up to one thousand dollars each year as we ensure that all americans [1:02:27] can profit from a rising stock market let's also ensure that members of congress cannot corruptly profit [1:02:35] from using insider information they stood up for that i can't believe i can't believe it did nancy pelosi [1:03:08] stand up if she's here doubt it pass the stop insider trading act without delay i wasn't sure if anybody even [1:03:32] on this side was going to applaud for that i was i'm very impressed thank you i'm very impressed but [1:03:38] when it comes to the corruption that is plundering really it's plundering america there's been no more [1:03:45] stunning example than minnesota where members of the somali community have pillaged an estimated 19 [1:03:54] billion dollars from the america taxpayer oh we have all the information and in actuality the number is much [1:04:01] higher than that and california massachusetts maine and many other states are even worse this is the [1:04:09] kind of corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation and we are working on it like you wouldn't believe [1:04:15] so tonight although started four months ago i am officially announcing the war on fraud to be [1:04:22] led by our great vice president jd vance he'll get it done and if we're able to find enough of that [1:04:50] fraud we will actually have a balanced budget overnight it'll go very quickly that's the kind [1:04:57] of money you're talking about we'll balance our budget the somali pirates who ransacked minnesota [1:05:04] remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery corruption and lawlessness [1:05:10] are the norm not the exception importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open [1:05:16] borders brings those problems right here to the usa and it is the american people who pay the price and [1:05:23] higher medical bills car insurance rates rent taxes and perhaps most importantly crime we will take care [1:05:31] of this problem we're going to take care of this problem we are not playing games delilah delilah colbin [1:05:52] was only five years old in june 2024 when a 18-wheel tractor trailer plowed into her stopped car [1:06:01] traveling at 60 miles an hour or more the driver was an illegal alien led in by joe biden and given [1:06:10] a commercial driver's license by open borders politicians in california doctors said delilah [1:06:17] would never be able to walk or talk have a good life she wouldn't even be able to eat again but against [1:06:24] all odds she is now in the first grade learning to walk and she's here this evening with her dad marcus a [1:06:32] fantastic man delilah please you are a great inspiration please stand up thank you delilah many [1:07:10] of not most illegal aliens do not speak english and cannot read even the most basic road signs as to [1:07:16] direction speed danger or location that's why tonight i'm calling on congress to pass what we will call [1:07:23] the delilah law barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens and [1:07:44] yesterday as you probably saw at the white house i hosted a ceremony with americans who lost their [1:07:51] treasured loved ones to the scourge of illegal immigration people came into our country how we [1:07:59] allowed this to happen with our open borders these are the angel moms and families that for decades [1:08:05] our government betrayed and our media totally ignored totally it was terrible hard to believe actually [1:08:13] in 2023 a 16 year old high school cheerleader named elizabeth medina was supposed to perform in [1:08:21] her town's christmas parade but she never arrived her mother jacqueline went home to look for her and [1:08:28] she found her lying dead in a bathtub bleeding profusely after being stabbed 25 times elizabeth's [1:08:37] killer was a previously arrested illegal alien who had broken in and brutally really just brutally [1:08:44] extinguished the brightest light in her family's life violently and viciously her heartbroken mother [1:08:53] is in the gallery to remind everyone in this chamber exactly why we are deporting illegal alien criminals [1:09:00] our country at record numbers and we're getting them the hell out of here fast we don't want to thank [1:09:29] you very much jacqueline thank you we can never forget that many in this room not only allowed the [1:09:38] border invasion to happen before i got involved but indeed they would do it all over again if they [1:09:46] ever had the chance if they ever got elected they would open up those borders to some of the worst [1:09:51] criminals anywhere in the world the only thing standing between americans and a wide open border right [1:09:58] now is president donald j trump and our great republican patriots in congress thank you as we [1:10:15] speak democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the department of homeland security it's [1:10:22] all cut off it's all cut off they have instituted another democrat shutdown the first one costing us two [1:10:31] points on gdp two points we lost on gdp which probably made them quite happy actually now they have [1:10:39] closed the agency responsible for protecting americans from terrorists and murderers tonight i'm [1:10:46] demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security homeland security [1:10:53] of the united states and also for helping people clean up their snow we have no money because of the [1:11:01] democrats and it would be nice you'd love to give your hand to clean it up but you gave no money [1:11:07] nobody's getting paid it's a shame so you have to think about it we have in case you didn't know [1:11:12] pretty large snowstorm out there one of the great things about the state of the union is how it gives [1:11:18] americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe so tonight i'm inviting [1:11:26] every legislature to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle if you agree with [1:11:33] this statement then stand up and show your support the first duty of the american government is to [1:11:41] protect american citizens not illegal aliens isn't that a shame you should be ashamed of yourself not [1:13:39] standing up you should be ashamed of yourself that is why i'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities [1:13:48] that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of [1:13:55] criminal aliens in many cases drug lords murderers all over our country they're blocking the removal [1:14:03] of these people out of our country and you should be ashamed of yourself and perhaps most importantly [1:14:36] i'm asking you to approve the save america act to stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons [1:14:55] from voting in our sacred american elections that cheating is rampant in our elections it's rampant [1:15:04] it's very simple all voters must show voter id all voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote [1:15:30] no more crooked mail-in ballots except for illness disability military or travel [1:15:45] none and this should be an easy one and by the way it's polling at 89 percent including democrats 89 [1:15:56] and even the new communist mayor of new york city i think he's a nice guy actually speak to him a lot [1:16:11] they had policy but nice guy just said they want people to shovel snow they got hit hard [1:16:19] want some dishevels no but if you apply for that job you need to show two original forms of id and a [1:16:26] social security card yet they don't want identification for the greatest privilege of them all voting in [1:16:34] america no it's no good no good both republicans and democrats overwhelmingly agree on the policy that [1:16:44] we just enunciated and congress should unite and enact this common sense country-saving legislation right [1:16:53] now and it should be before anything else happens reason they don't want to do it why would anybody [1:17:20] not want voter id one reason because they want to cheat there's only one reason they make up all [1:17:27] excuses they say it's racist they come up with things you almost say what imagination they have [1:17:33] they want to cheat they have cheated and their policy is so bad that the only way they can get [1:17:39] elected is to cheat and we're going to stop it we have to stop it john and here is one more opportunity [1:17:58] to show common sense in government in the gallery tonight are sage blair and her mother michelle [1:18:06] in 2021 sage was 14 when school officials in virginia sought to socially transition her to a new [1:18:15] gender treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents hard to believe isn't it before long a [1:18:23] confused sage ran away from home after she was found in a horrific situation in maryland a left-wing [1:18:32] judge refused to return sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter [1:18:40] was their son sage was thrown into an all-boys stayed home and suffered terribly for a long time [1:18:48] but today all of that is behind them because sage is a proud and wonderful young woman with a [1:18:54] full-ride scholarship to liberty university sage and michelle please stand up and thank you for your [1:19:24] great bravery and who can believe that we're even speaking about things like this 15 years ago if [1:19:30] somebody was up here and said that they say what's wrong with him but now we have to say it because [1:19:36] it's going on all over numerous states without even telling the parents but surely we can all agree [1:19:43] no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents arms and transition them to a new gender [1:19:50] against the parents will who would believe that we've been talking about we must ban it and we must ban it [1:19:57] immediately look nobody stands up these people are crazy i'm telling you they're crazy we're lucky we [1:20:29] have a country with people like this democrats are destroying our country but we've stopped it just [1:20:35] in the nick of time didn't we no one cares more about protecting america's youth than our wonderful [1:20:53] first lady now a movie star she's a movie star can you believe it who would have believed that over the [1:21:01] past year she has had an incredible impact championing ai legislation advancing a landmark [1:21:08] executive order on foster care and helping secure 30 million dollars to launch the melania trump [1:21:14] foster youth to independence initiative it's a tremendous really a tremendous thing that happened [1:21:21] and had a lot of bipartisan support she gets much better bipartisan support than i do i get none she [1:21:28] gets a lot someday you're gonna have to tell me how you did that and students and educators in every [1:21:36] state have joined the first lady's efforts in the presidential ai challenge keeping america's next [1:21:43] generation position to succeed and strongly succeed in the future tonight we

very proud to say that during my time in office both the first four [1:22:32] years and in particular this last year there has been a tremendous renewal in religion faith christianity [1:22:40] and belief in god tremendously this is especially true among young people and a big part of that had to do [1:23:01] with my great friend charlie kirk great guy great man so last year charlie was violently murdered by an [1:23:19] assassin and martyred really martyred for his beliefs his wonderful wife erica is with us tonight erica [1:23:29] please stand thank you erica you do a lot in charlie's memory we must all come together to reaffirm that [1:23:58] america is one nation under god and we must totally reject political violence of any kind [1:24:05] we love religion and we love bringing it back and it's coming back at levels that nobody actually [1:24:24] thought possible it's really a beautiful thing to see above all unleashing america's promise requires [1:24:30] keeping our community safe we have made incredible strides yet dangerous repeat offenders continue to be [1:24:37] released by pro-crime democrat politicians again and again we are honored to be joined tonight by [1:24:46] a woman who's been through hell anya zuretska in 2022 she and her beautiful daughter so beautiful what [1:24:54] a beautiful young woman irena fled war-torn war-torn ukraine to live with relatives near charlotte north carolina [1:25:05] and by the way what's going on with charlotte last summer 23 year old irena was riding home on the [1:25:12] train when a deranged monster who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no cash [1:25:20] bail stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body no one will ever forget there were [1:25:28] people on that train no one will ever forget the expression of terror on irena's face as she looked up [1:25:37] at her attacker in the last seconds of her life she died instantly she had escaped a brutal war only [1:25:43] to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in america came in through open borders mrs zuretska [1:25:53] tonight i promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter irena do you not stand [1:26:23] how do you not stand i'm asking this congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and [1:26:29] dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars and importantly that they stay there starting last [1:26:49] summer i deployed our national guard and federal law enforcement to restore law and order to our most [1:26:56] dangerous cities including memphis tennessee big success new orleans louisiana big success [1:27:06] and our nation's capital itself washington dc where we have almost no crime anymore in washington dc how [1:27:14] did that happen in fact crime in washington is now at the lowest level ever recorded and murders in dc [1:27:32] this january were down close to 100 percent from a year ago they don't like to hear that one of the sick [1:27:53] people one of the brave service members who helped achieve this stunning turnaround was 20 year old west [1:28:01] west virginia army national guard specialist sarah beckstrom after a four-month deployment she [1:28:08] voluntarily extended her service and her rank was going to be lifted she was doing so well they were [1:28:15] so proud of her but the very next day she was on patrol near the white house when she was ambushed and [1:28:23] shot in the head by a terrorist monster from afghanistan shouldn't have been in our country and all because she [1:28:31] wore the uniform of our nation she was shot he traveled here because he didn't like people wearing [1:28:38] our uniform he was sick and deranged shouldn't have been in our country sarah beckstrom died in order to [1:28:45] defend our capital and we are honored to be joined by her wonderful parents gary and evilly your daughter [1:28:53] was a true american patriot and she will be greatly missed she was a great person i saw reports on her [1:28:59] they've never seen anything like it so sorry thank you very much a great young lady i saw reports they [1:29:31] were like perfect she's perfect serving alongside sarah that day was staff sergeant andrew wolf the [1:29:40] terrorist shot andrew in the head and no one thought he could possibly make it the two of them sarah and [1:29:47] andrew both shot violently in the head neither was expected to make it they weren't even given a chance [1:29:55] except his wonderful mother named melody who i spoke to the same night and she was so positive [1:30:04] the doctors thought that andrew was gone but his mother said no no mr president andrew will be fine [1:30:11] he's going to make it i've never seen anything like it i mean he was given almost no chance she said i [1:30:18] have no doubt sir he's going to be okay this was a conversation that i had with her that night [1:30:25] with her son laying helplessly in bed blood all over everybody is praying she said sir he will be [1:30:33] okay the doctors didn't understand what she was saying and after looking at the results of the [1:30:40] damage done neither did i she was so strong and conclusive that even andrew's great father felt [1:30:47] she didn't really understand the gravity of the situation but she turned out to be right right [1:30:54] melanie she turned out to be right amazing actually i said where does this woman come from she's the [1:31:40] most positive person i've ever met with god's help andrew has battled back from the edge of death and [1:31:48] we're talking about the edge of death on his way to a miraculous recovery he's got a little work to do [1:31:56] but he's doing great nice to see he's a good looking guy nice to see you thanks andrew thank you very much [1:32:04] so andrew while you're up now i'm going to ask a highly respected general james seward to present [1:32:31] staff sergeant andrew wolf and the great family of sarah beckstrom with the award created by our late [1:32:39] great president george washington himself it's called the purple heart we love you all love you [1:33:37] we're proudly restoring safety for americans at home and we are also restoring security for americans abroad [1:33:46] our country has never been stronger my first 10 months i ended eight wars including cambodia [1:33:53] isn't it funny sick people cambodia and thailand pakistan and india would have been a nuclear [1:34:03] war 35 million people said the prime minister of pakistan would have died if it were not for my [1:34:09] involvement kosovo and serbia israel and iran egypt and ethiopia armenia and azerbaijan [1:34:19] the congo and rwanda and of course the war in gaza which proceeds at a very low level it's just about [1:34:27] there i want to thank steve whitkoff and jared kushner for your help thank you steve thank you [1:34:34] and i also want to thank the man they report to secretary of state marco rubio thank you [1:34:58] i like you you know marco got a hundred percent of the votes when he was in conference i think our [1:35:25] next one was about 54 and some of the democrats are now saying i can't believe we approve that guy [1:35:34] and he said it's an honor that they feel that way right marco you have done a great job great [1:35:39] secretary of state i think he'll go down as the best ever under the ceasefire i negotiated every single [1:35:57] hostage both living and dead has been returned home can you believe this nobody thought it was [1:36:16] possible nobody thought that was possible both living and dead and those parents who had a dead [1:36:25] son their boy they'd always tell me their boy they wanted him as much as though he were living [1:36:30] it was an amazing period of time and they came back and when we got all of the living hostages back [1:36:36] and many many before them but i always said those last 20 are going to be very tough but we got many many [1:36:41] more hundreds but i said those last 20 are going to be tough we got them back but we only got back [1:36:49] 14 or 15 of the dead of the 28 and believe it or not hamas worked along with israel and they dug and [1:36:59] they dug and they dug and they dug it's a tough it's a tough thing to do going through bodies all over [1:37:07] passing up 100 bodies sometimes for each one that they found tough job and they finally got it back to 27 [1:37:18] and then steve and jared they got it back to 28 they found all 28 nobody thought that was possible but [1:37:24] we did it and i remember the family of the 28th they were so grieved but they were so happy as happy as [1:37:35] it's possible possible to be they had their boy back the mother said sir we have our boy back what a [1:37:42] period of time that was but we got them all back so thank you both very much thank you and we're working [1:38:00] very hard to end the ninth war the killing and slaughter between russia and ukraine where 25 000 [1:38:07] soldiers are dying each and every month think of that 25 000 soldiers are dying a month a war which [1:38:17] would have never happened if i were president would have never happened as president i will make peace [1:38:23] wherever i can but i will never hesitate to confront threats to america wherever we must that's why in a [1:38:31] breakthrough operation last year the united states military obliterated iran's nuclear weapons program [1:38:39] with an attack on iranian soil known as operation midnight hammer for decades it had been the policy [1:38:59] of the united states never to allow around to obtain a nuclear weapon many decades since they seized [1:39:07] control of that proud nation 47 years ago the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but [1:39:14] terrorism terrorism and death and hate they've killed and maimed thousands of american service members and [1:39:22] hundreds of thousands and even millions of people with what's called roadside bombs they were the [1:39:28] kings of the roadside bomb and we took out solemania i did that during my first term had a huge impact [1:39:37] he was the father of the roadside bomb and just over the last couple of months with the protests [1:39:54] they've killed at least it looks like 32 000 protests 32 000 protesters in their own country [1:40:03] they shot them and hung them we stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious [1:40:11] violence but this is some terrible people they've already developed missiles that can threaten europe and [1:40:19] our bases overseas and they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the united states [1:40:25] of america after midnight hammer they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons [1:40:34] program in particular nuclear weapons yet they continue starting it all over we wiped it out and [1:40:41] they want to start all over again and are this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions we are in [1:40:49] negotiations with them they want to make a deal but we haven't heard those secret words we will never [1:40:56] have a nuclear weapon my preference my preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy but one [1:41:20] thing is certain i will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror which they are by far [1:41:26] to have a nuclear weapon can't let that happen and no nation should ever doubt america's result [1:41:47] we have the most powerful military on earth i rebuilt the military in my first term we're going to [1:41:54] continue to do so also just approved a trillion dollar budget we have no choice we have to be strong [1:42:01] because hopefully we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together it's really called [1:42:09] peace through strength and it's been very very effective so thanks to republican in congress we're [1:42:29] investing that record number of dollars have no choice in the united states armed forces also creating [1:42:37] a lot of jobs but we're not even doing it for that reason because as i said we have more jobs more [1:42:42] people working today than ever before in the history of our country and nato countries are friends and [1:42:48] allies they are there are friends and there are allies have just agreed at my very strong request to pay [1:42:56] five percent of gdp for military defense rather than the two percent which they weren't paying we [1:43:02] were paying for almost all of them now they're paying five as opposed to not paying for and getting [1:43:17] that five percent was something which everyone said would never be done could not happen we got [1:43:22] it really easily one meeting and a big difference between two percent that's not paid we were paying [1:43:29] the freight of many of them very few were paid up now five percent then they're paid and everything we send [1:43:35] over to ukraine is sent through nato and they pay us in full they pay us totally in full every branch of [1:43:44] our armed forces is setting records for recruitment this is so exciting and every service member recently [1:43:52] and every service member recently received a warrior dividend of seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars [1:44:13] you know they put it on my desk we got the money from tariffs and other things a lot of money we have [1:44:26] we have much more money than people understand have to rebuild that program a little bit but it won't [1:44:30] take long but we got the money and it was seventeen hundred and seventy five dollars and i they wanted my [1:44:37] approval and i said what's the number seventeen hundred and seventy five dollars i said wait a minute [1:44:44] for one more dollar we can have seventeen seventy six i said we're going to figure that i never asked [1:44:50] anybody if we could afford it one more dollar i said seventeen seventy six and i said that's good and i'll tell [1:44:56] you what our military that was four months ago our military i never see a person in the military that [1:45:01] doesn't thank me for it so we're honored to do it they deserve it and said we call it 1776 it was great [1:45:09] and we love our military we love our law enforcement we love our firemen you know the firemen don't get [1:45:15] mentioned enough we love our firemen we're also also restoring american security and dominance in the [1:45:37] western hemisphere acting to secure our national interests and defend our country from violence [1:45:43] drugs terrorism and foreign interference for years large swaths of territory in our region including [1:45:50] large parts of mexico really large parts of mexico have been controlled by murderous drug cartels [1:45:59] that's why i designated these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and i declared [1:46:06] illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction and with our new military campaign we have stopped [1:46:23] record amounts of drugs coming into our country and virtually stopped it completely coming in by water [1:46:29] or sea you probably noticed that they very seriously damaged their fishing industry also nobody wants [1:46:38] nobody wants to go fishing anymore we've also taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins [1:46:45] of all you saw that yesterday in january in january elite american warriors carried out one of the [1:47:06] most complex spectacular feats of military competence and power in world history no one's seen anything [1:47:14] like it foreign leaders i won't tell you who called me and they said very impressive [1:47:19] i couldn't believe they all watched they saw what happened this is a different fighting force that we had [1:47:27] years ago when we fought to tie you know it's a great fighting force i'm so proud of it look at space [1:47:36] force space force is my baby because we did that my baby becoming so important and america's armed [1:48:01] forces overwhelmed all defenses and utterly defeated a enemy good fighters to end the reign of outlawed [1:48:10] dictator nicolas maduro and bring him to face american justice and this was an absolutely colossal victory [1:48:27] for the security of the united states and it also opens up a bright new beginning for the people of [1:48:33] venezuela we're working closely with the new president of venezuela delci rodriguez to unleash extraordinary [1:48:40] economic gains for both of our countries and to bring new hope to those who have suffered so terribly [1:48:47] they really did suffer with us tonight is alejandro gonzalez he grew up in a tight-knit venezuelan [1:48:55] family and was especially close to her beloved uncle enrique but after enrique ran for office and [1:49:03] opposed maduro he was kidnapped by maduro security forces and thrown into the regime's really infamous [1:49:10] prison in caracas alejandro feared she would never see her uncle again she feared for her own life also [1:49:18] but since the raid we have worked with the new leadership and they have ordered the closure of [1:49:24] that vile prison and released hundreds of political prisoners already with more to come alejandro i'm [1:49:32] pleased to inform you that not only has your uncle been released but he is here tonight we brought him [1:49:39] over to celebrate his freedom with you in person enrique please come down thank you enrique have a good [1:50:27] time nice to have you back there were many heroes on that january raid to capture maduro really great [1:50:37] heroes it was very dangerous they knew we were coming they were all set but the deeds of one warrior that [1:50:45] night will live forever in the eternal chronicles of military valor chief warrant officer five eric slover [1:50:56] planned the mission and was the flight lead in the cockpit of the first helicopter a big beautiful powerful [1:51:06] helicopter the massive chinook carrying as you can imagine many many american war fighters wearing the dog tags [1:51:18] his wife amy had blessed with holy water before he left she knew it was going to be a rough one eric steered the [1:51:25] chinook under the cover of night and descended swiftly upon maduro's heavily protected military fortress [1:51:31] this was a major military installation protected by thousands of soldiers and guarded by russian and [1:51:40] chinese military technology how did that work out not too good while preparing to land enemy machine guns [1:51:50] fired from every angle and eric was hit very badly in the leg and hip one bullet after another he absorbed [1:51:58] four agonizing shots shredding his leg into numerous pieces and yet despite the fact that the use of his [1:52:07] legs was vital to successful helicopter flight legs are the most important part of flying a helicopter [1:52:15] to deliver the many commandos who would capture and detain maduro was the only thing eric was thinking [1:52:23] about then even as he was gushing blood which was flowing back down the aisle helicopter lands at a steep [1:52:30] angle the machine gun stood right in front of them they were right in front of them two machine gunners [1:52:36] who escaped the wrath of the previous planes eric maneuvered his helicopter with all of those lives and [1:52:44] souls to face the enemy and let his gunners eliminate the threat turn the helicopter around so the gunners [1:52:51] could take care of business saving the lives of his fellow warriors from what could have been a catastrophic [1:52:58] crash deep in enemy territory only after safely landing the helicopter with all the warriors aboard [1:53:07] in the exact right spot which was vital to the mission probably would have happened maybe cancel [1:53:13] the mission if that didn't happen eric told his co-pilot also wounded but not as gravely to take over [1:53:24] i'm about ready to pass out the success of the entire mission and the lives of his fellow warriors hinge and [1:53:31] eric's ability to take searing pain it was unbelievable what's happened to his legs of the bullets and [1:53:40] keep on flying and landing and people knew what was happening everybody in the back of the helicopter [1:53:48] knew because they saw the blood pouring down the aisle chief warrant officer slover is still recovering [1:53:56] from his serious wounds but i'm thrilled to say that he is here tonight with his wife amy eric [1:54:02] and amy come on in so we have a surprise eric and amy in recognition of eric's actions above and beyond the call [1:55:04] of duty i would now like to ask general jonathan braga to present chief warrant officer slover with our nation's [1:55:11] present chief warrant officer slover with our nation's highest military award the congressional [1:55:19] medal of honor well thank you very much eric and amy great to get to know you i met with them and [1:56:40] with a lot of their fellow warriors at fort bragg recently you notice the name fort bragg we have [1:56:46] it back we brought it back we won the first world war with it the second world war and then they [1:56:50] decided to change the name so we changed it back everybody wanted to change back too and ten of [1:56:59] eric's fellow warriors from that incredible night of victory will also be receiving medals at a [1:57:06] private ceremony that will soon be held at the white house and eric will do that thank you eric [1:57:35] that's a big one tonight we've celebrated many truly extraordinary american patriots but [1:57:42] there is one last living legend to honor before we go he is one more heroic american aviator navy [1:57:52] fighter pilot royce williams served in world war ii korea vietnam flying more than 220 missions in [1:58:01] disguise over korea in 1952 royce was in the dog fight of a lifetime legendary dog fight flying through [1:58:12] blizzard conditions his squadron was ambushed by seven soviet fighter planes it was his first aerial [1:58:18] combat of the war and despite being massively outnumbered and outgunned royce led the takedown [1:58:24] of four enemy jets and almost destroyed the others vanquishing his adversaries while taking 263 bullets [1:58:33] to his own plane and being seriously hurt his story was secret for over 50 years he didn't even [1:58:40] want to tell his wife but the legend grew and grew but tonight at 100 years old this brave navy captain

nation but in other sense it's really a mere moment in the eye of history two of the gentlemen [2:02:12] we met in the gallery this evening took their first breaths one century ago 100 years before that on [2:02:19] july 4th 1826 the author of the declaration of independence brilliant thomas jefferson drew his last [2:02:30] breath just a single long human lifespan separates the giants who declared and won our independence [2:02:38] from the heroes who stand among us tonight everything our nation has done everything we have achieved [2:02:45] has been the work of those few great lifetimes in those brief chapters americans built this nation from [2:02:52] 13 humble colonies into the pinnacle of human civilization and human freedom the strongest wealthiest most [2:03:00] powerful most successful nation in all of history americans ventured out across the daunting and [2:03:08] dangerous continent we carved paths through an unforgiving wilderness settled a boundless frontier and tamed [2:03:17] the beautiful but very very dangerous wild west from empty marshes and wide open plains we raised up the [2:03:26] world's world's greatest cities together we mastered the world's mightiest industries and shattered histories [2:03:34] monstrous tyrannies and we liberated millions from the chains of fascism communism oppression and terror [2:03:43] americans lifted humanity into the skies on the wings of aluminum and steel and then we launched mankind [2:03:50] into the stars on rockets powered by sheer american will and unyielding american pride we wired [2:03:58] the globe with uh ingenuity we captivated the planet with american culture and now we are pioneering the [2:04:07] next great american breakthroughs that will change the entire world all of this and so much more is the [2:04:15] enduring legacy unmatched glory of the hard-working patriots who built and defended this country and who [2:04:23] still carry the hopes and freedoms on all of humanity's backs for years they were forgotten betrayed and cast [2:04:32] aside but that great betrayal is over and they will never be forgotten again because when the world needs [2:04:39] courage daring vision and inspiration it is still turning to america and when god needs a nation to work his [2:04:49] miracles he knows exactly who to ask there is no challenge americans cannot overcome no frontier too vast [2:04:59] for us to conquer no dream too bold for us to chase no horizon too distant for us to claim for our destiny [2:05:09] is written by the hand providence and these first 250 years were just the beginning from the rugged border [2:05:18] towns of texas to the heartland villages of michigan from the sun-kissed shores of florida to the [2:05:25] endless fields of the dakotas and from the historic streets of philadelphia to right here in our nation's [2:05:33] capital washington dc the golden age of america is upon us the revolution that began in 1776 has not ended [2:05:44] it still continues because the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the heart of every [2:05:51] american patriot and our future will be bigger better brighter bolder and more glorious than [2:05:59] ever before thank you god bless you and god bless [2:06:03] i know good job thank you thank you [2:07:47] thank you [2:08:01] I think you should take the rest of the day off.
