President Trump Holds Easter Lunch At The White House With Hours Until Iran Address

[0:12] the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. [0:15] Sit down, please. [1:01] It's great to have you here. [1:03] It's great to have people I like for a change. [1:06] A lot of people I don't like at all. [1:09] I do my best in front of people I don't like, [1:11] but it's much harder. [1:12] This is easy. [1:14] We're doing really well as a country. [1:15] We're teaching people how to live in safety. [1:20] We're over in Iran. [1:22] We're sort of pretty much winding that up. [1:26] Have to take a few more hits. [1:27] We want to make sure we don't ever have them, [1:31] allow them to have a nuclear weapon because they'll use it. [1:39] And you see how serious they were [1:41] with the conventional ballistic missiles. [1:44] They have thousands of them. [1:45] We've blown most of them up. [1:47] You notice every week it gets a little less, [1:50] a little less at us and at our allies. [1:54] We've had some very good allies over there. [1:57] We've had some very bad allies in NATO. [2:00] I hope you're all watching that, Scott, [2:03] because [2:04] we had some asks and, you know, we spent trillions of dollars on NATO. [2:11] And when we need them, which we never do, [2:13] we didn't need them here either. [2:15] To be honest, I was really asking because I wanted to see what they do. [2:20] We didn't need them. [2:21] We blasted the hell out of them, out of Iran. [2:24] And the last thing I needed was NATO stepping in our way [2:28] because they're not, they're a paper tiger. [2:31] But so we didn't need them. [2:33] But I asked anyway, and they probably think I'm the worst salesman. [2:37] Ever. [2:38] I was the worst. [2:40] They would have much preferred Franklin Graham or somebody that's a good salesman than Trump [2:44] because I'd say, we'd love to have some help. [2:47] Oh, President, I'm not sure that we could. [2:49] Oh, that's OK. [2:50] You don't want to do it? [2:51] Well, well, if we. [2:53] Oh, that's OK. [2:54] You don't have to do it. [2:55] So he gets off public, says, man, that was easier than I thought. [3:00] Then I call up France, Macron, whose wife treats him extremely badly [3:07] and still recovering from the right to the job. [3:15] And I say, Emmanuel, we'd love to have some help in the Gulf, [3:19] even though we're setting records and knocking out bad people and knocking out ballistic missiles. [3:26] We'd love to have some help. [3:27] If you could, could you please send ships immediately? [3:30] No, no, no. [3:31] Cannot do that, Donald. [3:33] We can we can do that after the war is won. [3:37] I said, no, no, I don't need after the war is won, Emmanuel. [3:40] Many of them said we'll be there after the war is completed. [3:44] And so I learned about NATO. [3:46] NATO won't be there. [3:48] If we ever have the big one. [3:49] You know what I mean by the big one? [3:50] We ever have the big one. [3:51] Hopefully we won't. [3:52] Relationships very good with the big one. [3:54] Better than with NATO. [3:56] But but they won't be there. [3:59] And we spent billions. [4:01] You know, we didn't have to go into Ukraine. [4:02] Ukraine's thousands of miles away across the ocean. [4:05] We helped them. [4:07] We had a president who's a stupid individual. [4:11] Gave him 350 billion dollars. [4:13] Got nothing for it. [4:14] Gave him so much money, used so much ammunition. [4:17] We're making ammunition all over the place [4:20] that we need it because he gave so much away to Ukraine. [4:23] Got nothing for it. [4:25] And I sell them ammunition. [4:26] You know, the European Union pays for it. [4:28] What the hell? [4:29] They have to do something, right? [4:30] So they're good for paying for it. [4:32] But everything we sold, we we did. [4:34] But I just want to tell you, NATO treated us very badly. [4:37] And you have to remember it because they'll be treating us badly again if we ever need [4:42] them. [4:43] And hopefully we're never going to need them. [4:44] I don't think we will need them. [4:45] I don't think they can do very much. [4:46] I actually asked UK, who should be our best. [4:48] In fact, the king is coming over here in two weeks. [4:50] He's a gentleman. [4:51] He's a nice guy. [4:52] King Charles. [4:53] But should be our best, right, Brooke? [4:56] But they weren't our best. [4:57] I said, you have two old broken down aircraft carriers. [5:00] You think you could send them over? [5:03] Oh, I'll have to ask my team. [5:05] I said, you're the prime minister. [5:07] You know, no, no, no. [5:09] I have to ask my team, president. [5:12] My team has to meet. [5:13] We're meeting next week, next week. [5:15] But the war already started next week. [5:18] It's not good. [5:19] The war is going to be over in three days. [5:21] My prediction. [5:22] Is that by the way, do we have the greatest military ever? [5:33] So anyway, so we've knocked them for a loop. [5:36] I don't know if you saw the explosion the other day. [5:38] We got the mother load. [5:40] We had the mother load like nobody's ever. [5:42] Did you see that? [5:44] They thought it was a nuclear weapon. [5:45] Actually, I said, no, we don't use them. [5:48] We don't want to use them. [5:49] We have more than anybody else, but we don't want to use them. [5:52] But this afternoon, I'm delighted to join the countless Christians across the country [5:57] and around the world as we prepare to celebrate. [5:59] Thank you. [6:00] A thing called Happy Easter. [6:02] Do we have that? [6:03] Everyone happy? [6:04] Anybody that doesn't want. [6:05] Hello, darling. [6:07] Wow. [6:08] This is a good table. [6:09] I like that table. [6:10] You're doing well, right? [6:11] Okay. [6:12] I think you should sue him. [6:13] But, you know, I told her, you ought to sue somebody. [6:16] They're so jealous of Erica. [6:19] I said, you ought to sue them. [6:21] I can say it. [6:22] You're not allowed to say this. [6:23] You have to be nicer. [6:24] Sue their ass off. [6:29] But I want to thank all of those who are helping us honor Holy Week here. [6:34] Let me tell you, I hate to say this. [6:42] There have been more wars over religion than trade and everything else put together. [6:49] So he's smiling because I'm at, you know, one nice little statement that a nice and [6:53] you're right. [6:54] It was sort of ironic, wasn't it? [6:56] But but it is true. [6:58] Religion's an amazing subject of passions of subject of passion. [7:02] That's why. [7:04] But I do want to thank all of those who are helping to honor us and honor Holy Week here [7:09] at the White House. [7:10] It's something so incredible happening and I'm seeing it all over. [7:13] I used to tell some of you I've had such great friends. [7:17] Ralph knocked on 10 million doors, 10 million, 10 million. [7:24] And knowing Ralph, I thought maybe he was exaggerating a little bit and I had to check [7:28] that. [7:29] I think it might have been more. [7:30] You did a hell of a job. [7:31] And with Charlie. [7:32] Right. [7:33] What a team. [7:34] That was an army. [7:36] You, Charlie, the whole group. [7:38] Unbelievable. [7:39] Now we got to do it for the midterms. [7:40] Hate to tell you. [7:41] Otherwise, they're going to take it all away. [7:42] They're going to take the Johnson Act. [7:43] They'll put it right back on your shoulders. [7:45] So we got to do it again. [7:46] But the White House, including Vice President J.D. [7:50] Vance. [7:51] I think J.D. is J.D. here. [7:52] J.D. [7:54] He's lost weight. [7:55] He got a little thinner and I'm looking for I'm looking for a heavyset gentleman. [8:03] And now I find a perfect a perfect looking specimen and he's doing a great job and he's [8:10] working on the the deal. [8:11] Right. [8:12] How's that moving? [8:13] Is it OK? [8:15] The big deal. [8:17] The big deal. [8:20] So if it doesn't happen, I'm blaming J.D. [8:22] Vance. [8:23] If it does happen, I'm taking full credit. [8:27] I think it'll be. [8:28] I think it has to happen. [8:32] I think they're desperate. [8:35] Attorney General Pam, my friend, Pam Bondi, and we just left the Supreme Court. [8:45] I didn't realize it's the first time in history that a president went to the Supreme Court. [8:49] I was really surprised to hear that. [8:54] And Supreme Court's not been acting very well, actually. [8:59] Yeah. [9:00] I mean, you know, you know, we're the Democrats because a Democrat appointment over always [9:10] votes no matter what. [9:12] You can have the greatest case in history. [9:15] You could have a case where the person you're suing admits they're guilty. [9:22] And if you're in front of a Democrat judge, you'll overturn that admittance. [9:27] Now it's very unfair. [9:29] Republicans, judges and justices, they always want to show that they're independent. [9:33] I can. [9:34] I don't care if Trump appointed me. [9:36] I don't care if he doesn't make any difference to me. [9:40] I'm voting against him because they want to show their independence. [9:45] You know, stupid people. [9:49] But the Democrats, you can have the greatest case in history and they'll be voting against [9:53] you every single time. [9:56] And then they get upset with you when you complain about it. [9:58] I get admonished a little bit. [10:02] There is no Republican judge and there is no Democrat judge. [10:06] A certain person says and I say you've lost all credibility when you say that it's really [10:13] pretty tough. [10:14] So Pam and I were over there with some people we watched and actually nobody knew what the [10:20] hell was going on. [10:21] Simple subject. [10:22] Simple subject. [10:23] It's look at the time it was passed right at the end of the Civil War. [10:28] It was for the babies of slaves. [10:30] That's it. [10:31] It wasn't for billionaire Chinese people who have fifty seven children that become American [10:36] citizens. [10:37] They didn't have that in mind. [10:40] But you know, it's hard to explain that to some people. [10:43] Secretary of Agriculture is doing a great job. [10:46] Brooke Rollins. [10:47] Thank you very much. [10:52] Secretary of Homeland Security Mark Wayne Mullen just came onto the. [11:02] So is he job easier than you thought? [11:04] So I make him I give him the job. [11:06] He's so honored. [11:07] It is very successful. [11:08] Made a lot of money. [11:10] Then he decided to run and he ran one in Oklahoma. [11:14] I love Oklahoma. [11:15] I went seventy seven out of seventy seven count is the only one to ever do all three [11:20] times. [11:21] I don't know why they like me so much in Oklahoma, but they do. [11:24] And I was with him all the way. [11:26] And I offered him this job and he said, such a great honor. [11:29] I didn't tell him what was going on, though. [11:30] I didn't tell him that. [11:32] Not only did you have a strike, you have a strike. [11:36] And at the same time, you have the Democrats refusing to pay anybody. [11:39] Right. [11:41] I said, welcome aboard. [11:42] Oh, and here's your first assignment. [11:44] So he said, would you like to have had that decision to make? [11:47] No. [11:48] Think of it. [11:49] Somebody leaves a senatorship where he could be there for many, many years, a great position. [11:55] And he leaves it to take a three year job of turmoil because it's good for the country. [12:01] Right. [12:03] And you're going to do great. [12:04] That's so far you've done great. [12:05] He's gone in there and he's really I think we're we're pretty well worked out on that [12:08] situation that we're working on, which will be if we can do that, it'll be great. [12:13] But we're fighting people that vote against us. [12:15] One hundred percent. [12:16] You never get every once in a while you get Fetterman. [12:18] They vote. [12:20] They vote against us a hundred percent. [12:23] And you know, when I see Franklin Graham over here, I would I was going to say something. [12:26] I was going to use a filthy, dirty, horrible word. [12:29] But he wrote me a letter, became quite a famous letter that he's the president. [12:38] He watched me make a speech and it was great. [12:40] Forty, fifty thousand people. [12:43] He said it's like Billy Graham. [12:46] Now I'm not as good as Billy. [12:47] Nobody's Billy Graham. [12:48] But I made a good speech. [12:49] But he wrote me a letter and I thought it would be a letter that, oh, what a job you [12:53] did. [12:54] It was unbelievable because, President, please, I love your speaking. [13:00] I love your stories, but you'll use foul language. [13:06] And if you didn't use bad words, very bad words, your speeches would be even better. [13:16] And I sort of said, oh, that's not what I expected, Jenny. [13:20] But I never forgot it. [13:22] And I purposely watch my language, especially when he's in the room, when he's in the room, [13:28] my wife, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. [13:37] Scott Turner. [13:38] Thank you, Scott. [13:39] Very much. [13:40] Good job. [13:43] And Darth Vader. [13:44] Where's Darth Vader? [13:45] Russ vote. [13:47] Where's Darth? [13:48] Hi, Darth Vader. [13:49] He's looking. [13:50] He's finding more fraud. [13:51] You know, if they figured out the fraud, because J.D.'s working on it, J.D.'s either going [13:55] to be the greatest guy or we're going to hit him hard if he does it, because he's in charge. [13:59] I put him in charge of fraud. [14:01] Now, the last time this happened, Sleepy Joe, he put his great vice president in charge [14:06] of the border. [14:08] Hopefully, J.D. will be slightly more active. [14:10] She never called the border patrol. [14:12] She never made one call in four years to the border patrol. [14:15] And she never visited the border. [14:18] She had no idea where the border was. [14:21] Other than that, I thought she did a very good job. [14:23] We had 25. [14:24] We had 25 million people pour through our border. [14:28] And they said, I need legislation to stop it. [14:31] I said, no, you need a new president. [14:33] And that's what happened. [14:34] Now we have nobody coming in. [14:35] We have nine months of zero. [14:43] And we're getting the bad ones out. [14:44] But Russ vote. [14:45] Thank you, Russ. [14:46] You got it. [14:48] And if you could get J.D., if you'd get — how about in Minnesota? [14:53] They come from Somalia, but they come from all over. [14:55] They're all crooked in Minnesota. [14:57] The governor's crooked. [14:58] The attorney general's a crook. [14:59] He's a thief. [15:01] Terrible guy. [15:02] All stupid, crooked people. [15:04] And they came in from — in this case, Somalia is just terrible. [15:08] A lot of people say it's the worst country anywhere in the world. [15:11] They have no money, no nothing. [15:13] They have no government. [15:14] They have no police. [15:15] They just shoot each other all day long. [15:17] It's just a — it's just pure bedlam. [15:19] Probably — [15:20] the worst, most dangerous country. [15:21] We have some beauties. [15:23] They go to Minnesota, and they stole $19 billion. [15:27] $19 billion. [15:31] And they're low IQ. [15:32] Generally. [15:33] I mean, I can generalize. [15:34] They're low IQ people. [15:35] They're bad people. [15:36] They're — they have 94 percent unemployment. [15:37] In other words, they don't want to work. [15:38] You know, you get a lot of jobs available, right, with the economy. [15:39] They don't want to work. [15:40] Why would they work? [15:42] And they sell more Mercedes-Benzes than any state in the union because they come here [15:54] with no money. [15:56] And they go out, they love a Mercedes-Benz, and they go out and buy Mercedes-Benzes. [16:01] And I think you're going to get to the bottom of it real easy. [16:04] And every one of them should be. [16:05] And Ilhan Omar, who married her husband to — married her brother — her brother became [16:11] her husband. [16:12] When she has to check a book, she says, any brothers, one. [16:16] Any husband, one. [16:17] She checks two people. [16:19] So on top of everything else, she gets a double income tax cut. [16:24] She's — she's a stone-cold crook. [16:26] And everybody knows it. [16:27] And the papers, they have one paper out in particular — the guy made a living writing [16:32] about her, and I spoke to him, he said, but nobody does anything about it, sir. [16:36] All you have to do is get his writings from the Indianapolis Star or whatever paper he [16:41] works for. [16:42] You don't even have to do any — this guy spent his — spent 10 years investigating [16:48] that crook. [16:50] And you got to do something about it, or our people are going to get very — they're already [16:56] upset. [16:57] It takes too long. [16:58] So, J.D., you go do it. [16:59] I said, Russell, you better do it. [17:01] And, you know, I said to Russell, I said, daycare centers, right? [17:06] So in Minnesota and Los Angeles, they have thousands of them. [17:09] You'd say, how could you have — they have more daycare centers than they have children. [17:13] They literally — so they have thousands. [17:14] So we go and we send inspectors out. [17:17] Of the 700 that they looked at, approximately, in Minnesota, there were not one that was [17:23] a daycare center. [17:24] It's homes where they send checks for thousands of dollars. [17:28] It's bad. [17:29] If they ever — and this has been going on for years. [17:31] If they ever found out, if they ever got — and especially, it really — look, in four years, [17:37] on autism, OK, children with autism in Minnesota, four years ago, Biden's first term, it was [17:44] less than $1 million was sent out for autism. [17:49] This last year, it was over $400 million. [17:54] So what happened? [17:55] I said, was there an attack of autism? [17:59] They went from $1 million to $400 million. [18:00] I said, what happened? [18:01] They said, it's a $400-plus. [18:02] And it's pure — it's pure theft. [18:04] And I hope we get to it. [18:05] And if we don't get to it, we're stupid people. [18:08] Because we can balance the budget. [18:10] We can balance the budget. [18:11] We can have a surplus if you can stop the — and that doesn't include Medicare, Medicaid. [18:16] That's even bigger. [18:18] And it's many states — probably Republican states, too, because they're going to see [18:22] it, and they're not as — we're not as thievery, but, you know, they don't believe in thievery. [18:28] But when they see the Democrats doing it, and then they have to compete with it. [18:33] So I can't imagine they're not doing it. [18:34] I just can't imagine. [18:35] But maybe they aren't. [18:36] I don't know. [18:37] But those — Los Angeles is out of control, California — all over California. [18:43] Maine — who would have thought Maine? [18:46] Maine is one of the worst. [18:47] Maine — I think a beautiful Maine — it's one of the worst. [18:51] And the purpose of me saying that is because I have people in the room that could do something [18:55] about it. [18:56] And if they do something, we have a great country, and we have a balanced budget, because [18:59] these are the kind of numbers — and I actually said to them — I said [19:03] to Russell, don't send any money for daycare. [19:07] Because the United States can't take care of daycare. [19:11] That has to be up to a state. [19:13] We can't take care of daycare. [19:14] We're a big country. [19:15] We have 50 states. [19:16] We have all these other people. [19:17] We're fighting wars. [19:19] We can't take care of daycare. [19:21] You got to let a state take care of daycare. [19:23] And they should pay for it, too. [19:25] They should pay. [19:26] They have to raise their taxes. [19:28] But they should pay for it. [19:29] And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up for — but it's not possible [19:34] for us to take care of daycare. [19:35] Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things, they can do it on a state basis. [19:41] You can't do it on a federal — we have to take care of one thing — military protection. [19:46] We have to guard the country. [19:48] But all these little things, all these little scams that have taken place, all the — you [19:52] have to — you have to let states take care of them, Russell, and you have to do it. [19:57] Linda McMahon, she's done such a great job. [20:00] She's moved education back to the states. [20:03] And you know what? [20:04] I need congressional approval. [20:06] I said, don't worry about it. [20:07] Just do it. [20:09] She did it. [20:11] They're largely back in the states. [20:12] We have all these buildings empty. [20:14] Education buildings. [20:15] Where is Linda? [20:16] She's not here, right? [20:17] But I'll tell you. [20:18] Let her know I said it. [20:20] She's done it. [20:21] She's — she's a sleeper. [20:22] She was such a great person when she was at small business, Kelly. [20:25] She did a great job before Kelly, who's doing a fantastic job. [20:28] But Linda was great. [20:29] And then I said, don't worry about it. [20:31] Just move it back. [20:33] And she's moving it back to the states where it belongs. [20:35] Education belongs in the states. [20:36] Thank you. [20:37] Thank you. [20:38] Thank you, Linda. [20:39] And she did it. [20:40] Thank you. [20:41] Thank you. [20:42] Thank you, bat. [20:43] So I think if she just moved to another state where the parents can help and they love their [20:44] children as opposed to some bureaucrat sitting in Washington that doesn't know where Iowa [20:45] is. [20:46] When you go back, let Iowa run. [20:48] And let all of these states—Indiana —let them run their education, 100 percent. [20:52] The only thing we have to do is make sure they're teaching English. [20:55] Okay? [20:56] Make sure they're teaching little English. [20:57] You have a little bit — I mean, literally you could do one office with one person, [21:03] one desk and a secretary. [21:05] I don't mean a secretary of transportation. [21:06] I mean a secretary. [21:07] secretary like you know an old-fashioned secretary that takes dictation but that's all you need so [21:13] education has been largely sent back to states it's a it's an incredible thing you have to do [21:19] the same thing russell you know you have to do the same thing uh pastor paula white and jenny [21:25] corner two incredible people incredible people and they're from the white house faith office which [21:34] we never had we never had a faith office a lot of people wanted the office they're in you know it's [21:39] very valuable real estate we're building a valuable piece of real estate right back here the [21:44] we had a a judge not a judge a judge we had a trumpeting judge give us things saying i have [21:51] to get approval from congress you believe it i'm giving 400 million dollars to build a i'm giving [21:57] with donors 400 million dollars to build a ballroom and there's the knockout panel right here [22:03] if you look back there if you want to look back there you'll see the deepest hole you've ever seen [22:09] but [22:10] are under construction we're under budget we're ahead of schedule and we're building a ballroom [22:15] anywhere depending on final uh details of of the marbles we pick and everything else anywhere from [22:23] 300 to 400 million dollars depending on finishes you know we can get real expensive beautiful [22:28] finishes or or we can use home depot tile it's about a hundred million dollars that [22:35] it's going to be amazing but we had a judge that ruled that we had to go back to congress [22:39] in the history of this building nobody's ever got back where they built [22:41] something here that you don't go back to congress but we have a lot i have a lot of unfriendly judges [22:46] somehow we seem to get by him but they're not good people we're also grateful to join by reverend [22:52] franklin graham who's been a friend of mine for a long time thank you franklin very much appreciate [22:57] mr marilyn rivera pastor hi marilyn thank you very much bishop robert baron who's a fantastic [23:11] man thank you very much and then we have all of our stalwarts here let me i don't have to name them [23:16] name them because I've been naming them now for almost 10 years, right? A long time. But I [23:24] appreciate it. You guys have been here from the beginning, and we appreciate it very much. It's [23:27] been amazing. During each day of Holy Week, Christians remember the events of 2,000 years [23:34] ago that forever changed the world. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed [23:42] him with praise, honoring him as king. They call me king now. Do you believe it? No king. I'm such [23:50] a king, I can't get a ballroom approved. Pretty amazing, right? I'm a king. If I was a king, [23:58] we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king. [24:04] Yet he had not come to take a throne, but to carry a cross, not only to reign, but to save. And [24:11] Thursday, the disciples gathered with Jesus as their teacher and stood in fear as he was [24:18] arrested and betrayed. He was really betrayed. We know the feeling. Many of the people in this [24:25] room know the feeling. Many of the people in this room went through hell. On Good Friday, [24:29] the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and he died for all of us. It was a day of [24:37] darkness, but it wasn't the end. By any means, it was not the end. On Easter Sunday, the stone was [24:46] rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced. And [24:50] we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of [24:58] history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great, it was the great miracle, I guess. [25:06] He told his followers, I am with you always, even to the end of the age, because of the events of [25:16] Holy Week 20 centuries ago. People from every nation, language, and background can take on [25:23] any difficulty, press through any trial and [25:26] do or any hardship. With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God's [25:32] everlasting love. Across the generations, what happened on Easter has inspired his followers to [25:40] love one another, to forgive, to do works of charity, and build the beautiful churches. And [25:47] we have some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. To me, churches, I love. I love great [25:52] architecture. And we have some of the most beautiful are churches. Christians have [25:57] great [26:22] churches. [26:31] My name is Bob J. Jones. [26:32] is unacceptable we don't deal with them we cast them aside there's no talking to these people [26:42] they're crazy it'll never change ever if anybody ever let that change i think it wouldn't they [26:49] wouldn't be long for the world i've often said that to be a great nation you have to have religion i [26:55] believe that so strongly you have to have religion and you have to have god that's why this easter [27:02] we are bringing back religion to america we have when i started you know if you think about it so [27:09] we went through four years of purgatory we went well i learned a lot but i learned a lot so you [27:15] had four years and you had four years now you have one so it's a long long time it's nine years ten [27:21] years but i i learned a lot and i've seen it and if you say what's been the most growing you know [27:30] we see nvidia we see all of these companies they're doing records because of what we've [27:35] done because we've but i think maybe the biggest up is religion christianity it's been amazing you [27:49] know we had uh when i first came one of the first things we will save christmas because i was told [27:58] i wasn't told i saw it all over but they were department stores weren't used they'd have the [28:03] red wall but it would never say merry christmas they wouldn't say anything or say happy new year [28:09] but they never talked about christmas and i said we're going to bring back the word christmas [28:13] so we did we brought it back that was the beginning of that but do you remember that it was [28:16] they wouldn't they refused to say christmas now woke is gone you know it's it's [28:28] we had woke we had transgender for everybody we had men in women's sports i worked with the [28:33] olympic committee to end that we're not going to have it this olympics and you would think that's [28:42] easy i'd say i would like to talk to you about men and women so certainly there's nothing much we can [28:49] do about that that's there's a lot you can do about that there's a lot you can do about that [28:51] you can do about it anyway we met and they agreed to take it out men and women's sports so now a [28:59] young lady in boxing doesn't have to have her face smashed in like in the last olympics remember that [29:05] the young beautiful italian champion boxer female she got up and she was so excited and she met a [29:14] young woman who transitioned from manhood i'm getting better and better at my description of [29:19] this because it's a little it's a little tough it doesn't come easily [29:24] things come very easily to me that one's that one's always a little tough but he transitioned [29:30] from manhood to womanhood and he was a boxer and he hit her with a left you remember that just a [29:37] left now that's a defensive punch boom then another one boom and she's like she was ready [29:45] to go she walked back to the corner she said i've never been hit like that and of course she said go [29:51] out you can beat her her go out and they pushed her out then she got hit with another just a jab [30:01] and she said i quit and that young woman that defeated her went on to win the olympic gold [30:10] rather easily rather easily jd and then you had two people in the ring in that were transitioned [30:19] i don't know why it was only two i mean if i were a coach i'd have a whole team of them [30:23] in fact i actually said that under that system i would be one of the greatest coaches in any sport [30:31] anywhere in the world in particular basketball i'd love to have i'd say to [30:38] remember wilter still chamberlain seven three could lift 500 pounds no i would i would have [30:44] the greatest team i would hello robert i would have the greatest team in history i would be [30:49] undefeated for years for years but i wouldn't have one i'd pick two or three four or five [30:55] this would be crazy the greatest so are the weightlifting numbers because you can see it right [31:01] a record that stood for 19 years 212 pounds that's a lot any woman in here can lift 212 i don't think [31:09] 19 years and then it happened a person young woman who transitioned to womanhood broke the [31:19] record by 111 pounds so for years they'd have it at about 212 and they'd put an eighth of an ounce [31:31] here and an eighth and they couldn't do it they could not do it and this guy came in who was a [31:39] failed man weightlifter previous in his previous life he was a one of the worst of the men [31:46] he was a weightlifter but he was not a good one and he became a woman lovely event took place [31:54] and he was in a competition and he broke the record and he i'd never forget it because i'm [32:00] watching this huh he's looking like that's not a lot okay the winner is and the record still [32:11] stands i have a feeling maybe with evolution in a million years a woman will you need a lot [32:17] of evolution you're going to go up by an eighth of an ounce every every century a [32:23] woman will not be able to do it but uh when you see that or you see the swimming records where [32:29] the great women all-american swimmers are swimming and they've swum against themselves you know it's [32:35] the pyramid right they've swum from the beginning because they were the best run the time they're [32:38] six and seven and eight you know and now all of a sudden people that transitioned are allowed to [32:46] swim and we had the case with with a young woman she was very badly badly image badly hurt she was [32:55] really horribly hurt [32:57] was try out for the olympics and she looked down one side and she saw all her friends that she's [33:02] been swimming against for 10 years women and then she looked down here and she saw some more friends [33:08] and next to her was a man that was a woman that was massive he had a wingspan that was [33:17] slightly larger than wilt the stilt chamberlain which was serious and they got into the pool [33:26] and they started swimming and she was badly injured from windburn [33:31] because he went by her so fast that she got tremendous burns from the wind as he went by [33:37] and then he came in largely largely ahead in fact i think he rested for about 20 minutes [33:45] while they were swimming and i said isn't this ridiculous well one of the greatest [33:51] ever had all of the greatest track and field not that long ago last year and it's these [33:56] all-day marathons right you know we have to really be in shape and if you can you know take 10 seconds [34:04] off and a man who transitioned came in and he won by five hours and 14 minutes [34:12] all top five hours and 14 minutes and then they say oh let's do it this is democrats [34:20] and they're still fighting for it and i tell people don't talk about it don't fight it just [34:25] start about two weeks before the election talk because if they ever change their policy they [34:29] stick together they may be hard to beat but let them have open borders let them have trans gender [34:36] utilization of our children they can keep doing that transgender utilization of our children [34:42] that's what it is let them have all of the things like the men playing in women's sport let them have [34:48] all how about open borders open borders where they allow the world so you're christians but you're [34:53] very smart and you have great common sense and uh our country has come a long way in a short while [35:02] you know i knew we were going to bring it back and remember we hit 50 000 on the dow and they said i [35:08] be able to do that in my first year and i did it in my first few months i mean we did it early [35:14] they actually said it would take probably four years but most likely it would be five or six [35:19] and i did it at the end of the first year actually and then we had seven thousand on the standard and [35:25] poor's the s p so it was seven thousand and we did that in the first year too so we did fifty [35:32] thousand now fifty thousand and the dow was impossible but tougher was seven thousand on [35:37] the s p numbers robert that they said were not [35:39] attainable for years did them in the first year i said all right you know we've done so well now [35:46] it's time to go out and take out these lunatics in iran that are trying to get a nuclear weapon we [35:51] sent in the b-2 bombers we stopped them with that but then we really put the clamps on and [35:57] we've been doing it you've been watching that it's been amazing our military is so amazing [36:01] i rebuilt the military my first time i didn't know i'd use it so much because [36:05] then you also have venezuela which they say was one of the most lethal [36:09] incredible [36:10] attacks in the history of military period not just our military [36:16] it was a strong country strong military if you've ever been to venezuela they have soldiers although [36:21] everybody has a soldier's uniform on they have tough soldiers but uh it was all done in 45 [36:28] minutes the entire war was won in 45 minutes we set a record that's like a fighter gets knocked [36:33] out in the first three seconds and now we're working with venezuela and we're we've taken in [36:39] many times the cost of the attack many many times and we're working with them it's like a joint [36:45] venture and we have tremendous amounts of oil and we could do that with iran very easily we [36:52] could just take their oil but you know i'm not sure that the people in our country have the [36:55] patience to do that which is unfortunate you know they want to see it end if we stayed there i you [37:00] know i'd prefer just to take the oil we could do it so easily i would prefer that but people [37:05] in the country sort of say just win you're winning so big just win come home and i'm okay with that [37:10] too because we have a lot of oil between venezuela and our oil we're controlling now 59 of the oil [37:18] in the world and the problem the problem uh the problem that we have is we really don't need any [37:28] more be nice to take it but we don't need it um and we say to europe and all these countries that [37:35] do you know china gets 90 of its oil from the straight of harmuz and they should be policing [37:44] we shouldn't be policing it for them we have been for years and uh we're you know we're getting [37:49] ready to get out of there but they should you know all the damages we have done such a job that [37:55] they're they're really uh a very weak country they've gone from the bully of the middle east [38:01] to essentially a weak country i say you guys why should we the problem with the thing the straight [38:07] is they can have one terrorist there with a machine gun someplace and they'll say oh it's [38:12] not totally clean you know so let them do it [38:14] let france do it they get a lot of oil from the straight let the european countries do it let [38:21] south korea who was not helpful to us by the way let south korea you know we only have 45 000 [38:26] soldiers in harm's way over there right next to a nuclear force let south korea do it let japan do [38:32] it they get 90 of their oil from the straight let let china do it let them all do it what the hell [38:39] are we doing it for all i want to do is make sure they don't ever have a nuclear weapon and the [38:45] other thing [38:47] this was not part of what i wanted to do but we've done it i guess through sheer force of [38:50] personality we we have a regime change like nobody thought was possible they said what do you mean [38:56] you have regime change my friend great show i love this guy he's so nice to me every time i watch [39:04] and i appreciate you know we're not supposed to be seduced that way right but i am when somebody's [39:11] nice to me i love that person even if they're bad people i couldn't care less i'll fight to the end [39:19] so i appreciate it but you know uh i mean i want to see no nuclear weapon but we also won regime [39:26] change they said i spoke with the uh i spoke with the the washington post another beauty that's [39:34] going down the tubes but the washington post said what do you mean you have regime change you [39:38] didn't have regime change i said no no we took out the first regime 100 that was komani and then i [39:45] said then we they all met 88 people and they were going to pick a new regime and as they were voting [39:52] took them out so that was number two and now we're dealing with the third group of people and [39:56] they're much different actually they're much less radical and it's a new regime and they said we [40:03] never thought of it that way we have regime change we got it by accident we actually got it by [40:07] accident because i never liked the idea of you know the regime change thing is too is too complex [40:13] to put it down on a wish list because if you don't make it with me if i don't make it [40:16] i end up ahead he didn't get the so i never say i wanted it so i never talked about regime change [40:23] i didn't make it with him i didn't make it with him and i don't know how i got it but we uh we've [40:27] done an amazing thing over there and tonight i'm making a little speech at nine o'clock and [40:33] basically i'm gonna uh i'm gonna tell everybody how great i am what a great job what a phenomenal [40:40] job what a phenomenal job i've done but seriously if you if you didn't have me if you had some [40:45] different type of a president you wouldn't have israel i know you're big israel fans frankly [40:51] evangelicals like and christians just christians [40:54] more than jewish people like israel if you want to know the truth it's really true i get so many [40:59] coming up but i don't know when that started it did start not thousands of years ago i can tell [41:05] you it started but um the love for israel is great you wouldn't have israel and you wouldn't have the [41:12] middle east either you would not have you would have had a nuclear weapon it started by taking [41:16] out soleimani then i terminated the iran nuclear deal that was given to us by barack obama and then [41:26] two bombers so that stopped it and then the b-2 bombers when i came back i had a four-year [41:31] sabbatical and then i came back and we had uh we had this unbelievable attack but we had the b-2 [41:39] bombers they really stopped it they if we didn't hit them with those b-2s and that was a total [41:44] obliteration if we did hit them with the b-2s you would have had a nuclear weapon and the only [41:50] question whether or not they would have used it in the first hour or the first day but they would [41:57] the middle east would have been gone so bible sales are now at the highest number in many [42:04] decades did you know that i just haven't just came out and church attendance you know this [42:12] among young people nearly doubled compared to five years ago just five years ago [42:19] and this easter many churches are seeing their largest number of conversions in a generation [42:25] largest they've seen in many many years and much of it has to do with a very good friend of mine [42:34] who a person that he loves so much is sitting right here charlie kirk loved that woman right [42:40] there and he was so great you know i have people turn on me a lot you do too we all have people [42:52] turn i think a really big turn would be erica if erica said i'm not with trump anymore i'm not that [42:59] would be a big turn but i don't expect a turning point but i don't expect it and see i love that [43:06] whole group and the kids are good right [43:08] yeah but she's she's doing a good job gets treated unfairly but we're all treated yeah [43:13] we're all treated unfairly they closed up your churches you had people that had had their [43:18] services outside during covert spread 15 and 20 feet apart and they were arrested by lunatics you [43:25] know so one of those things but we are uh very thankful for charlie and erica we're very thankful [43:33] for uh every i think to me i'm just looking at see i know almost most of you [43:39] and we're very thankful to the people in this room and may 17th i'm inviting every american to [43:47] the national mall for a day of prayer praise and thanksgiving and as we approach america's [43:56] 250th anniversary it's going to be something really special we have the olympics think of it [44:00] we have the olympics and we have the world cup and we have 250. i tried to take credit for all three [44:06] of them and it worked with the olympics and the world cup but they didn't give me credit for 250. [44:11] i said you had nothing to do with 250. [44:12] so i said all right but we'll uh we're going to gather and rededicate ourselves as one nation [44:19] under god it's going to be i think it's going to be great and in that final spirit of prayer i'd [44:26] now like to ask pastor paula white reverend franklin graham pastor marilyn rivera and bishop [44:33] robert barron to lead us in prayer during this easter season thank you very much and robert i [44:39] think you can come up too if you don't mind come on up come on up come on up you two come on up come [44:48] come we have some great people in this room and we're leaving a few out but i'm it's only because [44:54] we don't see you okay sure we'll take that uh first off thank you so much president and for all [45:04] the great faith leaders that are here uh happy easter this is a very holy week for us and we're [45:10] just honored you took your valuable time for all of our cabinet members and secretaries we thank [45:15] you and most of all i really feel like the lord gave me something this morning and this is family [45:20] so i want to thank you very much [45:22] you've gotten dressed up a little bit i know we were initially having a dinner so it's actually [45:28] nice thank you sir and uh so i decided to wear it anyway but the bible says to give thanks for [45:35] all things and as i was praying this morning the word gratitude just kept coming to me [45:40] and so there's so many things i'm grateful for i'm grateful for salvation and the finished work [45:45] of jesus christ and my family and the list would go on and on but as i prayed it was like the holy [45:51] spirit just zoned me [45:53] and said tell president trump how thankful you are for him and i think i'm and i i felt like i was [46:19] conveying the heart of god for all of us that we are thankful for the greatest champion of faith [46:26] that we've ever seen in a president and we honor you because of your bold unwavering conviction [46:33] and stand for religious liberty here in america and around the world and you recognize the power [46:41] and the name of jesus christ for all people. God bless you and be happy. [46:42] Christ. I remember when we told our first briefing, you can now pray again and worship again. They [46:48] began to shout and praise and say, thank you, Lord, and sing in their highest ways for your [46:55] unwavering recognition that the strength of a nation is through Almighty God. And you have not [47:02] backed away from any of this. Thank you for allowing me to serve you, to serve people of faith, and to [47:09] serve the American people. I've heard many people take credit for you being here, or for some of [47:17] your victories, and for being in the sacred office of the President. But the truth of it is, is you [47:25] are here because of God and because of you. And I just wanted to share this thought and pray over [47:36] President Trump. Jesus taught us so many lessons through his death, burial, and resurrection. He [47:43] showed us great leadership, great transformation, [47:46] requires great sacrifice. And Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the [47:54] price. It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's [48:07] a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us, but it didn't end there for him, [48:13] and it didn't end there for you. God always had a plan. On the third day, he rose, he defeated evil, [48:22] he conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He [48:23] conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:23] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:24] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:24] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:26] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:27] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:28] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:29] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:30] evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered evil. He conquered [48:31] you rose up. Because he was victorious, you were victorious. And I believe that the Lord said to [48:38] tell you this, because of his victory, you will be victorious in all you put your hands to. [48:49] Amen. Because God is with you and God is using you to defeat evil, to restore families, [48:57] to awaken the church, to harvest the nations, and to bring a worldwide revival. So I'm going [49:03] to ask something. Would you all stand? And just, if you're comfortable, stretch your hand towards [49:09] our president. And even if Reverend Graham, you'd like to lay hands on him and Pastor Robert, [49:16] and just come in agreement with me. For 2 Chronicles 7, 14 declares, if my people who [49:21] are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, then I will hear from heaven and forgive [49:28] their sins and heal their land. So today we humble ourself and we seek you, Lord Jesus, [49:34] you declared in Proverbs 14, 34, that it said the righteousness exalts a nation. So we declare [49:42] righteousness over America and that every decision that is upon President Trump's shoulders, [49:48] he will make them in your righteousness. We declare Psalm 32, 12, that blessed is the nation [49:56] whose God is Lord. So today we declare that America is blessed as President Trump has decided [50:05] on May 17 to you, oh Lord. So we invoke your name, your power, your mercy, your grace. We pray James [50:13] 1, 5 over him, that you will always have the wisdom of God all the days of your life. I declare Psalm [50:19] 91 over you, that you will be satisfied with long life. I declare that everything you touch, you will [50:25] have the favor of God. According to Luke 2, 52, even as Jesus was favored with both God and man, [50:32] so let it be with President Trump. And I pray over him, [50:35] his household and his family. Not only do we secure his life and his calling and his purpose, [50:40] but that he will have generational blessing over his family. For generation after generation, [50:48] we'll call upon the name of the Lord and be blessed. We thank you for the gift that you [50:53] gave us in our presence. And everybody said, amen. [51:02] Let us pray. Father, you tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians, [51:21] were wanting to kill every Jew, woman, child, and do it all in one day. But you raised up [51:32] Esther to save the Jewish people. Father, we thank you. Today, the Iranians, the wicked regime of [51:48] this government, wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire. But you have [51:57] raised up President Trump. You've raised him up for such a time as this. And Father, we pray that [52:06] you'll give him the power to do that. And we pray that you'll give him the power to do that. And [52:07] we pray that you'll give him victory. Father, we pray for our military, that you'd watch over, [52:12] protect them. Father, we pray for the people of Iran who want freedom to be set free from [52:19] these Islamic lunatics. Father, we thank you for your son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth [52:28] to take our sins, that he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins, that he was buried. He [52:35] took our sins to the grave, but you raised him to life. And Father, we thank you and we praise you [52:40] and we give you the glory. [52:42] Father, protect President Trump. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. [52:48] We thank you for this beautiful day and we thank you for everybody that's here. We thank you for [53:02] the joy of Easter that reminds us that hope, that hope is alive, that love is true, and that you are [53:11] still working in our hearts. Lord, we thank you. And we right now pause and think of Jesus' sacrifice, [53:20] and we thank you for his resurrection power that gives us a new beginning, fresh mercy, and an [53:27] unshakable faith. Lord, I thank you for our president. Thank you that he acknowledges that we [53:34] need faith, faith in our homes, faith in schools, at work, and our nation. Bless him, protect him, [53:41] God, and may all of us work and walk together in unity. May we show our faith, our faith, and our [53:50] soul, your way in everything that we do. May we reflect your goodness, your light, and your love, [53:58] and we give you honor and praise. Amen. [54:01] Let us pray. Heavenly Father, almighty and eternal God, provident Lord of history, we come before you [54:14] today in an attitude of humble gratitude. We're thankful, Lord, for this opportunity to be together [54:20] in fellowship, for the faith that unites us, and for the blessings of liberty that we enjoy as Americans. [54:26] We are grateful above all on this holiest week of the year for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ, [54:33] who is the yes to all the promises made to Israel, who is the Lamb standing as though slain, who is [54:40] the Alpha and the Omega, who is the Lion of Judah, who is the desire of the everlasting hills, and [54:47] who is the Word made flesh and splendor of the Father. Father, you so loved the world that you [54:51] sent your only Son that all who believe in him might not perish but might have eternal life. [54:57] On Good Friday, [54:59] you sent him indeed to the very limits of God forsakenness, that he might gather back to you [55:04] even those who had wandered furthest away. On the cross, he took upon himself the sins of the world, [55:10] injustice, cruelty, hatred, violence, betrayal, denial, that he might swallow them up in the [55:17] ever-greater divine mercy. On Easter Sunday, Father, you raised him from death, showing your [55:24] victory over all the powers of darkness. Having met the risen Jesus, Saint Paul could therefore [55:29] say, [55:31] I will not be deceived by the covetousness of the world, nor by all the madness of the world, [55:34] neither death nor life, neither angels, nor principalities, neither height, nor depth, [55:39] nor any other creature could ever separate us from the love of God. We bless you, Father, [55:44] for you've given us the privilege of declaring the kingship of Christ to the world, and calling [55:50] all people to be subject to him. So Lord, conform us to Christ your Son, clothe us, we pray, [55:56] with his compassion, his meekness, his love for the poor. Father, we ask you to bless our country. [55:59] Make us prosperous in salvation, and let us spread the word of God, to the whole earth and to all the [56:03] nations. [56:03] Make us prosperous in salvation, and let us spread the word of God, to the whole earth, and to the whole [56:03] prosperous and safe but above all make us morally upright and order our freedom [56:09] toward your truth bless our troops especially those who are most directly [56:13] in harm's way protect them make them righteous warriors and finally father [56:19] bless our president give him the grace the courage the wisdom and the prudence [56:24] he needs to perform his duties according to your will we say with gratitude that [56:30] we are a nation under God we acknowledge that in you we live and move and have [56:35] our being we know that our freedom and our rights come from you continue [56:40] therefore Lord to shed your grace on us and to hold us all in the palm of your [56:46] hand we pray through Christ our Lord mr. president I just came from Venezuela [57:04] yesterday and the fire of God's Holy Spirit is being poured out over that [57:09] country I bear witness to you I preached over 10,000 pastors in an arena and the [57:20] fire of God fell on that place I think in a large part [57:25] because the force of evil was displaced in that nation your leadership extends [57:37] beyond what I think you know because January 3rd uh was a pivotal moment for [57:45] that nation and there is a fervor and an excitement and a zeal for God there [57:52] because of the freedom that has been loosed in the country so that same fire [58:01] that's there I'm going to ask that God would pour out that fire over us here in this nation [58:06] so join me as I pray father in the name of Jesus we thank you for resurrection power we thank you [58:12] for the anointing of your Holy Spirit with authority that's over this place and over this [58:18] house and over this leader we pray for an increase of the ministry of your Holy Spirit here in all of [58:25] us that the fire of your spirit would rest over us this season in a new way in Jesus holy name amen [58:39] let's pray father [58:42] what a great privilege and honor it is what a blessing it is to be Americans to be chosen to [58:51] live in this place in this time and what a special blessing Lord it is to be here in the White House [59:00] the home of our president and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior the King of [59:09] Kings Jesus Christ what a blessing what a blessing it is to have this man as the leader not only of [59:19] our nation but of the world [59:22] God thank you thank you for causing him turn his head at just the right moment in July of 2024 in a [59:37] field in Butler Pennsylvania and spare his life by your hand thank you that just weeks later you [59:46] caused an agent to see the barrel of a rifle at his own golf club Lord and you spared his life [59:57] again thank you father that you had mercy on our nation and gave him the victory [1:00:04] in November of 2024 we don't even want to think about where we'd be and I pray God that you would [1:00:12] make him aware and cognizant in the deepest core of his being that you spared his life that you put [1:00:20] him in this office and that you will give him victory and triumph in these battles that he [1:00:28] is fighting we pray particularly Lord that you would give him wisdom knowledge understanding and [1:00:36] discernment of a [1:00:37] heavenly origin in this battle with Iran I pray that peace would come to the Middle East I pray [1:00:46] that the Jews and Israel would be safe I pray that this evil regime would be taken down and they'd [1:00:54] never be able to obtain the most dangerous weapons the world has ever known and finally Lord we pray [1:01:02] for the president and for this nation that the truth of the resurrection power of what Jesus did [1:01:11] would be a reality in their lives and in the life of our nation and it's in his name and for his [1:01:19] glory that we ask it amen I remember so well January of 2016 before one vote had been cast [1:01:33] anywhere I was flying around with then businessman Donald Trump at different primaries and we had [1:01:41] just finished a Wendy's cheeseburger he served on that plane and I said Mr president I believe you're [1:01:48] going to be Mr president I said Mr Trump I believe God has appointed you to be the next president of [1:01:55] the United States and if that happens it's because he has a plan for you and for our country he said [1:02:03] do you really believe that Robert and I said yes sir I do believe it and God brought this to happen [1:02:11] I mean who would have ever thought who would have ever thought that a billionaire real estate tycoon [1:02:21] would usher in a spiritual revival of the United States so I want us to pray for him father we [1:02:33] thank you that you are a sovereign God your word says you are the one who selects Kings and removes [1:02:41] Kings and in your plan you have given us a great president not just once but twice father we every [1:02:50] one of us in this room first of all want to pray for President Trump we want to pray for [1:02:54] physical safety for the safety of our first lady of Baron and all of the family for Vice President [1:03:01] Vance father we pray that you would protect them from those who would do evil against them we [1:03:09] realize this is not just a political battle we're in it's a spiritual battle a battle between light [1:03:16] and darkness a battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan and we know you're going [1:03:22] to prevail and I just pray you would help us pray for the safety of our first lady and we pray for [1:03:25] you to be an encouragement to this great president that you would continue to use him in a mighty way [1:03:30] and we focus on you especially at this Easter time thank you for sending the one who came and died and [1:03:38] rose again that we might have eternal life Jesus our Lord it's in his saving name that we pray amen
